Time is money. Having to "wrap them around your tires when you need them" is a cost, even if you could theoretically do it for free. Moreover, if there was "Sudden heavy snow" as in OP's hypothetical, you'd still be screwed.
Good now break up Google and Amazon
GPs argument is the opposite of this: it's not about the scammers, but about the legit brands. The same way Pepsi doesn't want to get their ads shown over somebody discussing STDs or something of the sort, they probably also don't want to get their ads shown next to scams, since it makes the product kinda seem like a scam by association.

Should be around 40%. The headline graph in the article has its data source as "Among owner-occupied housing units; Annually, 2012-2022". There shouldn't be much difference between percent of owner-occupied homes that are mortgage free and percent of homeowners who are mortgage-free.
Angle of the sensor also makes no difference other than aligned effective resolution. iPhone already crops in several modes also digitally stabilizes ie rotates.

No we don't. This wasn't a problem 10 years ago. This isn't a problem in much, much poorer countries. This isn't a problem in fucking Houston or Tampa or NYC or Boston.

TL;DR - 2x4 is the rough dimensions, the pieces are planed (have surface material removed) to create a smoother/finished surface on the board and the final dimensions are slightly smaller than 2x4 as a result.

It depends on which audience they care about more. Do they want the HN crowd—old and cynical curmudgeons who dislike most of what is trending on social media—or the peers who cause such things to trend? If they decide they want the HN types as an audience, listening to their feedback is a good start.
NUMA is for when you have expensive processors, hence few processors, and need to share the memory. This definitely calls for just giving what would be each NUMA node its own few-hundred-thousand CPUs and letting them use a communication bus directly to talk among themselves.

"Just". Such a wonderful word in these sorts of conversations. All we have to do is "just" compile modern languages into Brainfuck for these processors, no problem. All we have to do is "just" build the hardware for the rest of the system on a radically different paradigm than all current computers. I'm sure we can "just" repurpose some FPGAs for this for prototype purposes. It's all so easy here in "just"land I'm surprised we don't "just" do it.

Flooding. We had beavers at the south edge of our property for years. They would dam the large creek there, and flood an 80 acre field pretty effectively.

We managed to convince the little bastards to move down the creek to a section where the flooding would hit some woods and CRP ground that we could never really farm due to terrain.

But that took like 10 years. Shooting them and destroying the dam would've taken a day.

So that's the motivation.
I absolutely agree that the U.S. government has gotten more powerful since WWII almost monotonously. The times of honest reduction were in the 1990s and, potentially, now.

That said, I would be careful about conflating the volume of rules and staffing with power. The bureaucratic imperative will drive a bureaucracy to expand. But it also does that to others, the net effect being a lot of intragovernmental arguing that diminishes the state’s actual power.

That doesn’t make the bureaucracy less annoying. Just less powerful. In fact, part of the present problem stems from it being easier for politicians to create blocking bureaucracies than to liquidate the ones they don’t like.
Unfortunately, in my experience it is required more often than not. I have two open issues with up streams that I'm trying to not work around. They haven't even replied let alone consider changes or support contributions. These aren't small projects either. You'd be surprised how many solo maintained projects won't even entertain

Anyway, I do try, but in my experience, if it happens, it's not over night and your going to have to maintain a work around for an amount of time

They have a say. Everyone is going to throw in their two cents here. A policy change like this involves the legislative branch which involves everyone. Even corporate interests.

It's not going to be some scientists making a statement and then the federal government putting their hammer down. In china I can see this happening, but in the US it's a democracy.

You'd think that creators making people want to use the site would be important, but unfortunately YouTube is a monopoly and is addictive, so content is more or less fungible from Google's perspective. If you aren't viewing ads on creator A's content, you'll probably be viewing them on creator B's content instead. It's not like other streaming services where there is real competition and losing particular content would make people go to competitors.
> Wood manufacturers faced a significant challenge in the late 1800s when forests near major cities were depleted, necessitating the shipping of lumber over longer distances. However, the exorbitant costs of railroad shipping, often double the price of the lumber itself, prompted manufacturers to find innovative solutions.

There was a book recommended here on HN a few months ago - Nature's Metropolis - that devotes an entire chapter to why and how, in the second half of the 1800s, shipping green lumber to Chicago lumber yards came to dominate the entire industry. Yet that changed very suddenly as the above quote points out.

The TLDR is that within an hour or so of arriving in Chicago, your load of lumber would go to auction, be bought, and you'd have cold hard cash in your pocket. To facilitate this, the Chicago yards all agreed to adopt size and quality standards like the grain elevators had. Other cities paid much more, but took days or weeks and you got a promissory note rather than cash.

But at some point the railroads started charging by weight rather than by carload, and it was worth drying your lumber before shipping. Nobody shipped to those Chicago yards after that, so someone else had to take over the standardization of dried lumber.
~67% of homes are owner occupied.

It's unlikely ~100% of the investor owned homes are free and clear and only ~3% of owner occupied homes are owned free and clear.

For one, the tax code HEAVILY incentivizes investors to own property on leverage. For two, the only reason property is/was a good investment was because of artificially low interest rates for most of the last ~25 years (an entire generation of investors). When you combine that with a leveraged bet that cannot be margin called, you will make a FORTUNE (and many did).

Leverage was the way.

I'm willing to bet the majority of free and clear owned homes are owner occupied (simply because 2/3rds of homes are owner occupied).
Translation: Nearly 40% of US homes are mortgage-free (and owned by Boomers)
Scandinavia isn’t uniformly permissive with drugs. Sweden is quite anti-drug.
> Video games are some of the most complex and most difficult pieces of software both to build and to get right.

Actually as far as binary distribution goes, video games are some of the easier to build software as they tend to need limited operating system integration besides creating a (possibly fullscreen) window, getting user input, driving a graphics card to display the result and output audio somewhere. Only completely headless programs like command-line tools or servers have it easier. Contrary to the popular meme, creating Linux binaries for games which will run on all (current) distros and will keep running in the future is not rocket science. Not completely trivial, but something that any competent developer should be able to manage.

Where things get really hard is desktop applications which users will expect to have a much tighter integration with the rest of the environment. Neither Qt nor GTK have a long-term stable ABI and shipping them with your program just means you have a million more unstable ABIs you depend on.
The screen goes dark & unrecoverable during normal use, not while using ml tools, so I just assumed it was a problem with nvidia's drivers being generally disagreeable with Fedora.

You make a a good point, I've been having one card do double-duty as hdmi output and GPGPU. I'll try the motherboard's built-in hdmi and see how that goes.

I've been really busy with other stuff for a few weeks and haven't really thought about the best way to fix this. Thanks for the suggestion!
Reviewing C/C++ code for memory safety is probably a good use case for LLMs actually. Writing memory safe code from scratch is a much bigger ask.
Some software needs to be NSA-certified. If you need a government certification, you get government mandates.

It is odd since Ada is DoD's (bastard?) child and NSA is DoD but a little digging you get this from 1997 (with a singular mention of the word "safety"):

https://nap.nationalacademies.org/read/5463/chapter/3

tldr; seems to be that the software development world has changed from the days that DoD was the "dominant" software developer, and Ada in the interim did not get adopted by the commercial sector (with safety critical exceptions in aerospace, etc. noted).
>and when I'm paying for tires to be changed for me I'm paying for the labor involved not the feature of having different tires.

Okay but practically speaking you're not changing your tires for fun. You're changing it specifically to improve winter driving performance. For all practical purposes changing your tires is the same as activating the feature on these smart tires, even if the former involves the tires being removed/added.

They'll "regulate" a bunch of controls to make corporations more efficient at making money, while limiting their liability when they get hacked and increasing the barrier to compete with them.

I was expecting to find that federal employment has grown faster than the US population, but it looks like that's not the case. Since 2000, the federal workforce seems to have grown about 14%, while the overall population increased by about 20%.

I have a crazy theory: Zillow is directly responsible for the housing shortage and high home prices. Zillow inspires people to move. More moving means houses get fixed up which increases home values. Browsing through homes on Zillow might start out as something to do when your bored but that can easily lead to "what if" thinking. Before Zillow they wouldn't even be thinking about moving.

fwiw I completely agree, but isn't this the inverse of the argument people make for why Apple deserves 30% of app revenue? Do app devs deserve a huge chunk of iPhone revenue since they contributed to its success?

>> the next target should be the enforcement of underflow/overflow trapping

Trapping is nonsense - in production anyway. You might use it in development to catch errors. But in production there is no way to "fix" an overflow if it happens and is detected, so you'd be looking to crash on trap which in some code is preferable to silent data corruption.

I do lots of fixed-point math for embedded motor control. Representing rotor angle as a signed 16bit number is deeply engrained in me these days because taking differences to get a signed delta just works, and I never have to worry about rollover because it behaves exactly the way I want. ;-) While this is technically undefined behavior, I've never run across a compiler that worked differently.

I've been thinking about this for a while.

You're of course right

> can't easily save 50% of our income

Really? Of course people are at different stages in their life (being the sole income earner in a family with 2 kids for example, would easily mean that you cannot save 50% income in lots of locations), but assuming that we're only talking about new grads (for simplicity's sake)...

I believe that in virtually all locations, tech pays well enough that you can save 50% of your income. I know it is in London, and believe the same applies in east Europe and India for example? (But truthfully, I only know of FAANG salary data for India, not sure how salaries are in the rest of the industry)

Or, maybe pick a point on a spectrum.

That seems more realistic, because I'd argue you can't really have "Complete Safety" or "Actual Freedom" (by which I am guessing some people would interpret 'actual' as 'complete').
You may be assuming there isn't a connection there. Could it be that our society and economy are growing more complex because the government continues to grow?

More government agencies and employees create more rules. More rules almost certainly play into the growing complexity of both our society and economy.

Population growth is nothing new, its only the last 60-80 years that we've really cranked up the size of our government.

> Our approach has clear semantics, i.e. our extended SQL returns subsets of all tables with only those tuples that would be part of the traditional (single-table) query result set, however without performing any denormalization through joins.

Hmm, so if I understand this right, the query

SELECT Orders.OrderID, Customers.CustomerName, Orders.OrderDate
FROM Orders
INNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerID=Customers.CustomerID

would return two tables: (1) an Orders table with only the OrderID and OrderDate columns present; and (2) a Customers table with only the CustomerName column present — without any connection between CustomerName and either Orders.OrderID or Orders.OrderDate?

EDIT: Or, perhaps both Orders.CustomerID and Customers.CustomerID would be present in the respective tables since they're referenced by the JOIN?
This is definitely clickbait. Do you see any other GitHub url on HN that need to stick "open source" on its title?

It's an older story (from May) but it looks like only about 23% of US homeowners are mortgage-free. Although they were also including renters in this analysis. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnwake/2023/03/31/us-has-3rd-...)

I couldn't find anything that specifically looked only at homeowners, rather than at homes themselves.
There are still plenty of Ada devs around, but they're almost all in the DoD or working for defense contractors.
And yet, poorly build buildings are still being build, but at least now it is much harder and much more expensive for a person to build their own house, and for a small construction companies to compete with giant monopolies. Yay!
Most things have a genetic component. Blame doesn't disappear because someone was more predisposed towards something. For instance, men are generally more predisposed to violence than women. Any sane person would agree there is a likely a genetic component to this fact. But if a man beats his wife, we still can and should blame him, even if it were true that with different genetics he would not have beaten his wife. (or more realistically, with different genetics he would have likely never married the same woman.)
That’s just a customer with requirements.. like all customers.
Yes we should force everyone to “learn to code” so they can disassemble the code of all of their software before they run it.
Interesting idea, I would argue the opposite on the basis that easier, more frequent transactions in a market improves price discovery and keeps the housing price closer to the "true" price based on supply and demand.

In fact the opposite is true. My mortgage is 2.125% and I have no motivation to pay that off because of rates spiking upward which gives me a better cash return than 2.125%.
My experience is that they are still pretty reasonable in rain. Not as good as tires designed for monsoons. But being aware of conditions they are sufficient.

I think this comment is a bit premature and better reserved for a finished product, not a research demo. :) Video generation is still in its infancy, it obviously has even longer way to go than the other types of generative AI.
