A sad day for Matrix. The real news here is that the reference Matrix home server implementation, the only production-grade Matrix home server that exists and the one thing that really should be owned by the foundation in a healthy ecosystem changed ownership into a for-profit organization. Not only that, it isn't even true AGPL because Element reserves the explicit right to relicence the code to ANYTHING based on who pays most.
>that everyone can reach a similar intellectual level given the right "system"

False on absolute terms and useless for most "real life" training. Time to learn/master a subject is an enormous competitive advantage to foster, as "talented" people will always have an edge over "clumsy" people. Mediocre people can only beat a genius trough effort of luck IF the genius is lazy and/or unlucky.
My point is exactly what I said. There are lots of parts of the world where mobile service is not good (or available at all) because it's not economically sensible to build out coverage where populations are very low.

This is already a thing. Santa Cruz (and I think a bunch of places in CA?) have an a rule that lowers the assessed value of your property for tax purposes if it is your primary residence.

However:

- the size of the benefit is small

- my understanding is there is very little effort to confirm these for small owners

A video I found interesting related to this:

https://youtu.be/iRdwXQb7CfM?si=j6g6TAm2uEw5aRb2

Outdated building codes require 2 stairs, making smaller multi-story housing infeasible. So only larger (whole block) projects pencil out, but people don’t like them because they don’t fit in well.

I wonder if smaller (the size of 1-2 normal lots) 4-6 floor buildings spread out more would face less resistance.
Indirect branches are different from regular branches. A regular branch is 'goto label', while an indirect branch is like calling a function pointer or calling a virtual method
Yeah I totally agree, but I do think there are times when starting with the absolute most basic implementation that meets the business needs is the way to go. That could be a simple bash script, or a python script without Django, etc.

In my experience, the key is making those tradeoff decisions in an educated manner. Ideally, product and engineering and in sync and have a somewhat informed view of the future, so appropriate tradeoffs on velocity (simple bash script) versus extensibility (Python with Django) can be discussed.
Yea, I used to live in CA and am all-to-aware of the distortions of Prop 13. I'm more giving a theoretical solution to the problem I observe in many US metro areas, rather than something that would specifically work for California tomorrow.

FWIW, as more and more California homeowners become non-residents of California (moving to other states such as Florida, Nevada in retirement is fairly common), I think Prop 13 will gradually become less popular among the actual voting-eligible population of CA. But this will take decades, I imagine.

It just benefits far too few at the expense of too many to stay law forever.
How did the Twitter-style culling work out for Twitter?
I really appreciate your comments and insight, but I must stress again, what has been noted by both of us:

> And maybe you are bit greedy and see an opportunity in the variability to end user, but maybe you are more worried about collapsing margin.

"And maybe you are bit greedy" -- https://www.cbsnews.com/news/retail-price-gouging-lowes-amaz....

And this "profit" is a number derived from an price that is set to attain some difference that is "allowed by the market". Greed is baked in always, else a business cannot continue; but the smoke-screen of inflation is what is discomforting.
The "very-very light" part is that it was easily defeated if you removed the USB Storage from the dumb appliance, and plugged it into almost anything else.

If you had only the dumb appliance UI, however, finding the files would be a bigger chore than even energetic kids could accomplish in mere hours, and only if they knew it was there (the "password UI" was also hidden a little).
Just scrolled all the way down, had two pop ups appear in the process - one for video taking up 1/3 top of the screen (appeared from the beginning as I started scrolling the page), and another one for “read next” (once i got to the bottom of the page).

However, both of them are easily dismissable, with none showing up after that. Here is a screen recording[0] of how it looks in Safari. You can see in the very beginning of it that I am clicking page refresh, so i didn’t prep it ahead of time or anything. When you see pop-ups disappear, it is me manually closing them.

I think it's fair to compare the fastest available implementation on both platforms. I suspect that the MLX version can be optimized further. However, it will not close a 10x gap.

NIMBYs in the city sue the university to stop all housing, infrastructure, or other things that may allow for more students or reduce their problems.

It may again be placebo effect, but I can still taste the difference in bottled water poured into my steel water bottle and my usual filtered tap water.

I also can't stand plastic bottled sodas, and can tell they've been sitting in one even if drank out of something else after opening.

I fear the bottling/canning process and length of time spent in it gives it a bit of a whiskey-barrel style finishing taste alteration.

I live in Jackson Hole. We have a similar problem. It's wild that folks will quibble about high rises and then compromise on a two-story. It's like, if you don't like high rises, build a few of them higher.
The rule of law is important and trying to use nihilistic arguments to ignore the laws as they are written to give one of the world's richest people a free billion dollars even though his company is not able to provide the specified service defies all logic.
They’ve been talking about this stuff for decades now. I recall the trailer park suing the hotel over their view being obstructed. And then there’s the CCC, who I imagine will get engaged when a 12 story luxury high rise gets planted at the south end of pacific avenue. It’s the perfect solution if you want to ensure nothing actually happens.
You can read the requirements, then read the denial letter, the appeal (and denial) and dissents.
When I'm confused, I kill no braincells, I tip 10%, so I just move the decimal and done. If I'm annoyed, I tip $0. I think in the US most people don't have a frame of reference of what it's like to not have this social pressure to tip. You feel much better when you tip without being forced. Also, as a foreigner, American workers and businesses have no idea how vexing it is for a tourist to land, have a budget and realize that they're 30% short because of tipping everything from expensive Uber rides to hotels and luxury spas. This is basically the US tourist tax, even though all our money is going to already stay there.

There a probably quite a few uber drivers that hate me now, because they try to give me the all star ride, have a conversation, hear all my compliments (bc they keep nagging if everything is to my liking, if I want music or the AC adjusted), and then get zero tip. I absolutely do not feel an ounce of remorse. Why? Because I have also come to understand that they're not really providing quality service because they care. They're all gaming the system and manipulating customers. here's an example: I once needed an Uber from NJ to NYC, urgently. One quickly responded, arrived, started chatting and being friendly, started the trip and after I loaded all my stuff into the car, she looked at the destination and told me they would not drive to NYC, that I should get out. She left and did not cancel the trip. I had to contact Uber to get refunded. My point is, the 5 star friendliness ended the second I stopped being profitable for her, and at that point I stopped mattering.

So yeah, smile away, no tips unless I am wowed beyond my expectations.
If the people who ran that study were really as smart as they pretend to be, as they are from Harvard, they would understand how even their own thoughts, the language they speak and so on, all happened because they were lucky.

Let me repeat to you, as you seem unable to read and comprehend what I have previously written, it can be reading comprehension issue, so I won't judge you negatively like Harvard, an elitist school would, here it is:

Talent is everywhere. It's abundant. There is an immense amount of hard-working people that even if they don't believe in "zero-sum", get nowhere. They still wake up every day early, work much harder than you ever will in your life, but are still in a shithole and this situation will stay as it is until they perish.

That study was done by one of the most well-known universities, full of privilege in a country that managed to have its reigns on the world for so long, an empire.

Let's think together. It would be strange if either the study or the University would conclude that people work really hard. And are as talented as the people able to attend Harvard, but because they were unlucky and that the world is unfair, they couldn't.

That would be a big counterargument to Harvard's selection process, it wouldn't feel it's a really deserving university, nor that the creator of the study is as good as he believes to be. Why would anybody want to pay for its overpriced curriculum that are literally books you could buy it at Amazon? I'm not saying it is all fake, but you can understand how much reputation is bought, not acquired.

You aren't special, nor the thought of zero-sum thinking is what creates poverty. People are drawn into those ideas, not because of stupidity, but lack of luck.

Stop pretending you have so much control of yourself and your thoughts, read more science and you'll see how all those conclusions you believe to be true are really naive.
Are you trying to kill rentals, or are you trying to kill empty houses.

Killing rentals is bad for anyone who find owning is not the best option for them. To own a house/condo you need a large down payment, then you need to pay maintenance fees (some of this can be personal labor if you are able), and worse if you move soon you need to sell. Buying a place can be a great idea for some, but for others it is wrong. Most of us will go through different phases in life and odds are until you are 25 or 30 years old renting is clearly the best decision, but after that many of us settle down in a location where we are likely to live for the rest of our life and buying starts to make sense for many.

There are a few houses in the world when some rich foreigner has bought the house and leaves it vacant. However so far all data I've seen suggests the number of people doing this is tiny (it is generally a stupid investment)
There's tons of land inside of Santa Cruz that should be developed first. Keep the green belt and let people experience nature. Let all the people living in the hills and causing lots of environmental destruction through roads and other impacts stop making those impacts by giving them the equivalent rent inside the city.

In short, lots of houses would be great. (I'm a Santa Cruz resident, for the record)

At one point in time, nothing about New York City or Hong Kong said "high rise living." Then they became popular and demand changes the nature of the city.
I think you missed my point re. educational attainment. My point is that if education attainment only exists as a difference after high-school (for the most part). Therefore if "IQ follows educational attainment" IQ would be the same until after high-school. I do think wealth, nutrition and education have some effect on IQ. I do not know to what extent. You had asked if we are sure that IQ follows those other factors. To answer completely, IQ follows genetics as well as other factors, mainly genetics. I truly believe that this is a scientific question that can be answered with observation. I think in twenty years or less we will have cataloged most of the genes that affect intelligence and the nature vs. nurture argument will have a direct answer. (or, at least, the nature side of the equation will be mostly solved.) Currently the hardware to collect this data is expensive (Illumina machines are $1M last I checked) and the methods of analyzing the data are somewhat crude (eg. GWAS). As these two fronts advance more and more genes will be found until most of it is known.
I disagree, DRM actually is seen as an extremely negative thing. Perhaps people who work to create DRM don't think it's a negative but saying someone's work is DRM is actually a pejorative statement.
> Santa Cruz is just an idyllic beach town

It's really not. It houses a massive university, it's commutable to Silicon Valley and has been influenced by those booms and busts, it's steeped in counterculture and radicalism, and it has long faced serious issues with drugs and homelessness that are much more akin to a big city than a beach town.

I absolutely love Santa Cruz and I especially love the beach town aspects, but that's just one facet of the city and the surrounding area.
> Given that branches are, well, just branches in any language, what makes OO so special?

Indirect branches. This is a result of vtable indirections.

You are much more likely to encounter vtables in an object oriented language. Obviously, you can still have the same basic thing in a C program, e.g. SDL RWops, but in C++ for example, it's going to show up all over the place.
Its practically everywhere in the world. Every city i mean. Maybe in SC on a extreme level, but even where I live in Amsterdam its 1.000.000 for an apartment. Which results in 4000 euros per month. Impossible for starters.
This is pretty common across a number of smaller cities in California, especially beach cities. I moved into current home in Southern California 10 years back and probably not in a position to move in to any home in the city now, even with total family income increasing over this time.
As if cost+ contracting hasn't been a major factor in projects going overbudget and behind schedule. Even with cost+ the contractor needs to provide an estimate up front of both the time and money needed. While it is understood that it is just an estimate, having projects come in for 5x or more of the original estimated cost is egregious. SLS for example was estimated to cost $1.5B, but instead costs $11.2B and still hasn't launched.
That is high rise when average housing us 1-2.
This paper caused me to start doubting the Linux scheduler on medium sized boxes ( 36 physical cores in 2016 ) and helped me find an annoying bug in the rhel 7 kernel which prevented some processes from being scheduled at all in some cases( it was an issue with Numa load balancing if I remember well). Note my bug was most likely unrelated to the paper, but it marked in my mind a specific class of bugs as possible.

So it helped me at least :-)
I'm heavily using https://github.com/go-go-golems/geppetto for my work, which has a CLI mode and TUI chat mode. It exposes prompt templates as command line verbs, which it can load from multiple "repositories".

I maintain a set of prompts for each repository I am working in (alongside custom "prompto" https://github.com/go-go-golems/prompto scripts that generate dynamic prompting context, i made quite a few for thirdparty libraries for example: https://github.com/go-go-golems/promptos ).

Here's some of the public prompts I use: https://github.com/go-go-golems/geppetto/tree/main/cmd/pinoc...

> idea is to tax absentee landlords and pied a terres, in favor of the people who actually live in the city

The point is taxing "absentee landlords" means taxing the people who rent from them. These sorts of policies sound clever, but they don't change the supply nor demand, and so just wind up raising housing prices more.

There isn't a loophole around supply and demand other than rationing, i.e. a community board deciding who can and cannot move in. (The answer is always white people.)
Holy shit! So looking at the flowchart elsewhere in the docs, this means the executable produced by pyapp will ensure the requirements file is processed before executing the actual module code?

This is magic.
If you like that movie, then I highly recommend checking out The Rehearsal (2022). Basically a show version of the movie!
why is housing cost a problem that needs to be solved? there are plenty of inexpensive houses, they just don't happen to be in this beach town.
"Existing supply" has nothing to do with building the apartment rentals, though the apartment operations economy would get hit and they might have to actually do some work somewhere. I believe the parent comment is about how many houses are stagnant because the owners have long since moved out, don't want to do any upgrades, and just cash checks from the next generation that has nowhere to buy since all the houses are rented out.

I'm a bit bitter because there's so much of this around where I live, and it's just sad they're systemically incentivized to keep the next generations renting forever.
A lot of people in Britain live in, work in or regularly visit a historic area.

Any plans to release the models ?
Virtual functions yield a lot of indirect branches. Virtual functions are a foundational part of object oriented designs.

FP registers have gotten much larger than the normal types that people store. e.g. 128, 256, 512-bit registers. A normal double floating point (pretty much the largest normally used floating point representation) occupies 64-bits, while a normal int64 occupies, unsurprisingly, the same 64-bits. But we're getting the mega registers specifically because there are a lot of multiple-four-singles at once, and so on, SIMD functions.

My journey towards intentional technology use
The article claims that but I can't tell what evidence they have for that claim. One of their linked pdfs[0] is long but as far as I can tell involves working class insured folks, and the chart on p31 shows Drug Overdoses as the largest excess category by far for the 0-44 age group.. Also page 27 says "Note that recent period deaths may continue to shift from non-COVID to COVID as COD coding becomes more complete".

Edit: and the table on p43 seems to directly contradict their claim that the excess deaths are concentrated among the young "working" as opposed to non-working: Age 15-44 have almost the same percentages (18.9% vs 19.2%) for excess Q2 deaths; the insured cohort is the slightly lower one. "It's probably mostly drug overdoses and COVID" still seems like a reasonable null hypothesis to me.

Are you saying the unis in Santa Cruz are sufficient to raise yourself to millionaire, and the local high schools sufficient to get into those unis? I’m not from the US, genuinely asking. But I have often seen unis have a far-distance preference, just for the social mix, while letting down the locals.
I pulled that number from this article and I am pretty sure I paraphrased it correctly: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-intelligence-h...

The article may be conflating genetics with other types of biological hereditability, (such as epigenetics?) however I think that is generally pretty common and fine in every lay conversations.
You can pack a Python interpreter but by default it downloads it (if not already cached)
It is fucking insane if they thing that is actually how it works, though. Start-ups might work like that, because at that point the people and the company are effectively the same. But any company more than a year old becomes filled with people who are maximizing their own net worth. And why would it be any different?

I'm surprised they laid off executives as well.
Genuinely curious: where do you propose they build more housing if not downtown? There isn't much usable land in Santa Cruz that's not already taken. The only reasonable place I can think of to build "high rises", without demolishing some sort of nature, is the West side where all the offices are.

From my Model Y manual:

"Autosteer is intended for use on controlled-access highways with a fully attentive driver. Do not use Autosteer in construction zones, or in areas where bicyclists or pedestrians may be present."

GM and Ford both restrict their systems to controlled access highways, and are hands free when doing so. I wish Tesla would do something similar.
Not necessarily. This round of grants is closed. There is no guarantee that this money will be rolled into the next round. In fact, that seems quite unlikely to me.
