You're very right to be skeptical. Increasingly, "homeowner" is becoming strongly associated with class, especially in urban and suburban California.

Eventually the older/wealthier people pass away and the younger people wonder why they can't afford a home, even though they work the same job that their landlord's grandma did.

The demographics of prop 13 support are pretty interesting. The slope for prop 13 support is overall trending negative as time goes on, but the "intercept" is still quite high. Hence my statement that I think we're still a few decades away from it becoming a common rally cry for voters – whereas today it's a third rail.

FWIW this tax would also explicitly not affect "ordinary" homeowners. I think the main issue is that people are not imaginative enough to dream of a progressive property tax, since it's not progressive today.
I can’t believe people still mention port knocking when single packet authorization has been around for almost as long and has none of the drawbacks of regular port knocking.

Anyone even thinking about port knocking should look at fwknop.

NASA, Boeing (or any defense contractor, really), Planet for satellite engineering, Google/Waymo was doing self-driving around that time. I contracted for some random small self-driving startup around 2010.
I'm not aware of any such plan. The plan was always to preserve open space such as Lighthouse Field and the green belt around Santa Cruz. I'm grateful for both of those. Property values would have risen even if they had built on Lighthouse field and the green belt. It just occured to me that I could think of them as the equivalent of NYC's Central Park or SF's Golden Gate Park.
The issue is complicated. So far there's no proof for Newag involvement. It's very different to how security researchers publish their results. All is based on hearsay.
Considering that epoll is Linux specific anyway, I would highly advise going straight to io_uring. epoll has a whole bunch of footguns in particular with edge triggered modes of operation; io_uring has a higher initial threshold in understanding how it works but is worth that effort.

(Unless you need to support older Linux kernels that have epoll but no io_uring yet.)
Hey, but what about that *physical* undocumented module that allowed to control the train?

Aint it at least the proof of something shady?
Many experts predicted price declines with pretty fair accuracy. The large groups of experts that were making these forecasts for purposes of global planning for mitigation of climate change were often intentionally conservative because the danger of planning with that assumption outweighs anything you lose by making more conservative predictions.
Wow, thank you for this. Good work!

Some thoughts:

I've often thought that unbuffered channels would cause scheduling thrashing - higher latency and lower throughput because you're swapping between stopping and starting processes blocked on a channel frequently. If you're sending just a small piece of data like 64 bit integer at a time, or any kind of pattern where you're using threads to break up work into tasks, this is too small breakdown of task to really scale multithreading. Want to communicate something that causes a LARGE AMOUNT of work on the other thread, to keep the processor busy. But there's balance between latency and throughput, if you send a big task you get higher latency to react to the next task but better throughput.

Walking through my thinking and help me understand: If you have multiple channels that you could read from in a select call but none are ready, could you block that select instance and process a different process where other selects are potentially waiting? This is similar to blocking a goroutine or a Rust async Future task in Tokio that needs to be waked. I think this would need a scheduler. EDIT: Your scheduler to switch between "select instances" or what is running in a thread is the OS.
It's a cool idea.

There's absolutely a need of a tool to generate artist profiles and manage its content. I'm not sure if basing that on Spotify is the right move for the target audience.

Small artists are extremely unhappy with the current situation and they all blame it on Spotify. It doesn't help that Spotify is implementing a new policy which removes money from very small artists [1].

I'm building something in the audio/music industry and I'm in contact with dozens of small artists. From what I've seen, most use Spotify as a necessity but they hate it. Many even have removed their tracks from Spotify or directly refuse to upload it there. Bandcamp seems to be what these artists use (although personally I'm not sure how long it will last).

LMK if you figure out why! Because whenever I'm refactoring in a bracket-heavy language, it's almost guaranteed that, every so often, the parser starts throwing syntax errors, and I need to stare at something like `)]})})` for a while.

What tooling am I missing that can prevent this from happening? I use auto-formatters and rainbow bracket colorizers whenever possible, and they're great! But in no way prevent this from happening.

It used to be pointed out that UAPs move so fast that no human pilot could survive the G-forces. That implied that they must possess some kind of anti-inertia technology that makes it possible to survive flying a UFO, or that perhaps humanoids are enormously strong beings. Truly mysterious.

But in the recent years the plausible explanation to this puzzle has become trivial: Of course, the fast-turning UAPs are 'droids". There is no biological pilot inside them. They are flying under remote- or possibly AI-control.

The difference between running llama.cpp main vs server + POST http request is fairly substantial but not earth shattering - like ~6s vs ~2s, for a few lines of completion, with 8GB VRAM models. I'm running with a 3090 and 96G RAM, all inference running on GPU. If you are really doing batch work you definitely want to persist the model between completions.

OTOH you're stuck with the model you loaded via server, while if you load on demand you can switch in and out. This is vital for multimodal image interrogation, since other models don't understand projected image tokens.
Ehh one is a gaming machine the other a general purpose machine with a really weak GPU.
The point was to hear each other, not to "debate", although it inevitably turns into that and worse.

Maybe the only thing worse than trying is not trying.
So to anyone wondering, I’m getting the sense is that the option is only available for paid / business accounts. My hunch is that the reason free accounts don’t see it is that they don’t get to opt out & are forced in - it wouldn’t make sense that they opt-in paid/ENT but then exclude free accounts altogether vs free accounts are opt-in and can’t choose. Alternatively, may be it isn’t relevant to free accounts because they don’t have access to AI-related features: https://help.dropbox.com/view-edit/privacy-settings-dropbox-...

The data isn’t used for training, only for inference & DropBox and OpenAI pinky promise to delete any data sent to them within 30 days.

He also does dubiously claim to be an expert in many fields, although despite the success of the engineers working for him, his greatest personal expertise appears to be sycophant creation — competence can only propel one so far.

Although one should never believe the ravings, useful work does surprisingly often nucleate around them, just not to the degree or with the speed promised.
Great work!!

Question for the authors, are there opportunities, where they exist, to not use optimization or tuning methods for reconstructing a model of a scene?

We are refining efficient ways of rendering a view of a scene from these models but the scenes remain static. The scenes also take a while to reconstruct too.

Can we still achieve the great look and details of RF and GS without paying for an expensive reconstruction per instance of the scene?

Are there ways of greedily reconstructing a scene with traditional CG methods into these new representations now that they are fast to render?

Please forgive any misconceptions that I may have in advanced! We really appreciate the work y'all are advancing!
Taxes are higher in Europe and cost of living is not low. US “inequality” exists because the ceiling is high but medians still meet or exceed Europe.

Don't get me started on Adsense and internet ads.

Ok you got me started, my developer tools site helps people develop Chrome extensions https://webfiddle.net

I had my entire adsense account including all of my other games cancelled because it's against Google's terms of service to advertise on other people's content... well that's exactly Google's business model. Think about it?

Banned me for life too, if they want to crush people on the internet it's in their DNA and don't think they won't.

Meanwhile the people allowed to run internet ads are selling violence, pills, sex, addictive gambling games etc on my kids YouTube videos.

The amount and terms agreed upon are what Google originally offerred, so I've mostly seen it reported as the gov't caving.

But I still agree with you - would rather have seen Google not give in to this sort of thing at all.

It was very different for Meta - they already don't like sending people away from their site so it was much easier for them to hold out.

It pattern-matches to an obvious antisemitic trope. If you didn't intend it that way, you should take better care to avoid coming across that way in the future, because this is not an effect that any HN comments should be generating.

These things are cultural and collective in nature, they're not the fault of any individual. "Poor people suck" in Russia and elsewhere because their upbringing has failed to educate them with the middle-class values that are the foundation of any genuinely prosperous society. (To be sure other things are important too, such as social cohesion and even some degree of egalitarianism.)
Cheers, I've been wanting to get into doing something else with my 4090 order than multi monitor simulator gaming, quad screen workstation work - and this will get me kicked off!

The 4090 is an absolute beast, runs extremely quiet and simply powers through everything. DCS pushes it to the limit, but the resulting experience is simply stunning. Mine's coupled to a 7800x3d which uses hardly any power at all, absolutely love it.
It's always fascinating to hear about the cultural structures within North Korea. The image in my head is one where 5% are comfortable party officials and 95% are starving labourers. Of course that's not true: there are intellectuals and scientists in the middle, like in any other society.

A related article was posted a few months ago regarding North Korean sci-fi. Also fascinating!

It's an interesting problem that I don't know how's going to be solved longterm: a person can read a website and learn from it, but an AI can't? I sympathize with the arguments from both sides.

That depends on your version of windows (newer versions are more relaxed on it). Also file links are 'weird' in windows.

You have 3 types junction points, file links and directory links. Each one acting in its very weird odd way. Junction points are for local only directories. Files for files and directories can be either local dirs or remote SMB points. Junctions vs dir can be an interesting trade off on what you want it to do. With junciton being faster for many operations but local only. Also if the file is less than ~500 bytes there is no real gain as you will probably just consume MFT anyway either way.
Man, this site almost looks like an intentional distraction from real pollution-fighting measures.
The article doesn't really offer any alternatives to fighting fire with fire (money vs money). More like different approaches to how to use your fire money. Source talent outside of the Valley, compete in a newer market and utilize smaller governments to avoid regulations. They touch on culture at the end, but explains it only as having access to new/untapped talent to hire which is basically their first point.

I think the best way to fight monoliths and huge money pits is with your company's ideals such as share everything, privacy at all costs, don't be evil tech, focused on the best user experience/optimization/features, building an open source metaverse, etc...

As well as letting your users have a say in someway or another into what the end product is. Allowing them to be invested in how it turns out, the way it is used and whom it benefits the most. I believe this is the best way to get sticky users who are not just looking at the bottom dollar and those users become your biggest advocates helping you grow more and more.

But even just a big telling-off and revert after the fact (as said those files should have a big warning as header so there is no excuse) if those good practices are not followed as commits should at the very least be monitored manually, and they are obviously visible, anyway.
You should consider adding IPD specifically to the HN guidelines. It's not mentioned.

> I'm not aware of any existing or even near-future feasible renewable solution for indoor heating over the winter months in northern climates, other than nuclear.

Make hydrogen during the summer (or wind peaks). Store it underground (Europe has space in salt formations for many PWh of hydrogen, for example), use in winter to generate power during dark-calm periods, drive heat pumps with the power.

This is likely to be cheaper than a system that uses nuclear power plants to drive those heat pumps.

the comment I was responding to was claiming that severance works better/is more generous in the EU - and presumably France based on the username - and almost across the board salaries in France are 1/2 to 1/3 what they are in the USA for many professions...so yeah, you would need to give up 1/2 to 1/3 your salary for a fair comparison.

I don't even live anywhere near SV, I used a $110K average for the USA in my example, if we were talking SV that would probably be closer to $400K, so 10X what a programmer in France might make. I really don't think anyone in SV would be willing to work as a programmer for what an average programmer in SV makes so that they were guaranteed a better payout if they got fired.

It absolutely does, right up until the exact future moment when EVERYONE is pulled up above (well above) the (bottom) floor. In other words no one should be at liberty to seek the ceiling until EVERYONE is out of the basement.

How’s Paris with all the homeless, robberies, riots, trash, etc? Is it worth having a populace that is perpetually angry because they’re so reliant on the government? Can you tell us what ended up happening to the retirement age in France?

To answer your question, yes, I want to live in a society where I can pursue an extremely high quality of life for myself and my family. My neighbors have it pretty damn good from what I can tell.
Oddly enough, I am in the UK - and I do have it, but it was already turned off when I went there. I wonder if things have changed, or there are some canary releases of the box... or am I just completely unaware my account isn't considered a UK-based account?
I have less sympathy for people afraid of neighborhood change after having been pushed out of a neighborhood that changed (gentrified) anyway.

In any case, I tend to think that outlawing for-profit ownership of multiple SFHs or multifamily units would actually go a long way toward increasing supply and dropping costs without building. Reduced centralized ownership means lowered capacity to play pricing and vacancy games.

The real enemy of affordable housing is that so many people benefit from housing being unaffordable. Tell them to kick rocks and find another source of income at the federal/constitutional level, please.

No, Starlink services were never turned on for portions of Ukraine previously occupied by Russia such as Crimea.

On Friday, Isaacson tweeted a clarification, writing that “the Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not. They asked Musk to enable it for their drone sub attack on the Russian fleet. Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.”

Wait, I think I'm misunderstanding. It feels like you're asking what you need a computer for if you've already got a web browser, whereas one is a component necessary for the other. Inside of those containers you're using, there's executables. If it runs as a nice, self-contained single binary that you can just call, why still look for a container to wrap around it and invoke using a more complicated command? How is running a binary in a container an alternative to running said binary?
