The biggest reduction in drunk driving happened because of ride sharing.

The biggest reduction in piracy was because of availability of legal content.

The biggest reduction in car deaths is going to be creating an alternative to cars.

Human error is a valid defense because humans make a ton of errors, all the time.

I can bet that punishing people for human errors in this context will have a net negative consequence on society as a whole.
Just about every single Westerner has more than they need in some way, and there’s plenty of folks suffering in the world. Your definition uselessly labels everyone greedy and also does nothing to help those that are suffering.

It’s not the job of individuals to fix our global economic system by changing their individual (legal) behavior. This is a regulatory problem.
If you're more interested in the physics simulation for research, I can't help ya. However, SideFX Houdini is tough to beat if you're going more for entertainment-focused simulations.

Their free non-commercial "Apprentice" version is only limited in its rendering and collaboration capabilities. It's pretty... uh... deep though. Coming from software and moving into this industry, the workflow for learning these sorts of tools is totally different. Lots of people say Houdini is more like an IDE than a 3D modelling program, and I agree in many ways. Rather than using the visual tools like in, say, blender, it's almost entirely based on creating a network of nodes, and modifying attributes and parameters. You can do most stuff in Python more cleanly than others like 3ds Max, though it won't compile, so the performance is bad in big sims. Their own C-like language, vex, is competent, and there's even a more granular version of their node system for the finer work with more complex math and such. It's almost entirely a data-oriented workflow on the technical side.

However, if you're a "learn by reading the docs" type, you're going to have to learn to love tutorials rather quickly. It's very, very different from any environment or paradigm I've worked with, and the community at large, while generally friendly, suffers from the curse of expertise big-time.
Its orthogonal to ifdef sphaghetti so long as that's not in support of the (general) sphaghetti.

I'm not specifically commenting on ifdefs, because ifdefs are only a small part of the issue (caused by multiple compiler frontends).

Sounds like the irony was lost on you.
I hear you. That is a problem with a lot of (bad) UIs and why I think people love text-UI (because it is harder to screw up). First, I don't want to get rid of the text UI -- you can always render your commands using the traditional terminal interface. We just want to provide an option to display the output in a richer way. I think Github does a good job of this. You can view a file with line numbers and annotations on the side, but copy/paste won't grab that content because of how the HTML is structured. We hope be similarly attentive to things like that (but of course it is still a WIP).
Oh, my, AI really is becoming the new blockchain, isn’t it?
Unless something changed about it, this has been around for a few months. My team uses it. In practice, it's been fine. It's nice to be able to flag something as Ready for Dev, and link it to a Jira ticket in a way that presents the developer with a nice package and makes it easier for them to find stuff. They've got an extension for VSC that is kind of interesting because it integrates pretty tightly with Figma designs. I'm on the design side right now, so I haven't really used that part of it extensively. It certainly feels to me like they want to do more with Dev Mode than they already have.

Hahaha I do not want to ban guns outright(I will leave it as an open question whether I have guns in my own domicile). Why do you want to imbue my use of statistics with an agenda you think I support? I do think we should resume a strict interpretation of the 2nd amendment (specifically "well-regulated militia") if we want to claim an originalist view of the Constitution. And I am also in favor of regulating harmful substances so that humans can interoperate in society, while still allowing trained humans access to useful tools for manipulating the universe.

Furthermore, these humans that you choose to label as '"teen" gangbangers' also deserve compassion and the opportunity to live in peace.

Lastly, as a student of epistemology, I am acutely aware of the slippery nature of truth and dare not suppose to be the arbiter of Truth. But I suppose whatever I find, where I find it, will have to do. I'm more likely to find it in a Crackerjack box than this thread, however. (I do also take umbrage at being called a liar in this context too but I forgive you.)

The distance to the alternate really doesn’t matter much, because you always load enough additional fuel to divert to your alternate and land, plus more fuel called the “final reserve” which is enough to fly for another 30 or 45 minutes (depending on the airline and region). That amount of fuel is called the “minimum fuel”. If you get down to your minimum fuel and you aren’t actually landing at your destination yet, then you radio the controllers and tell them that you’re at minimum fuel and are diverting to your alternate. It is only time to declare an emergency if you get down to your final reserve, by which time you should already be at your alternate airport.

Also, you can’t really use the straight–line distance between airports to figure out how much extra fuel to bring, because you never end up flying that line. For one thing, you have to approach the airport from the correct direction so that you line up with a runway and so that you’re headed into the wind. For another, you have to get down from the altitude you were holding at to ground level. Between the two you need to go not towards the airport, but towards a spot far enough away from the airport that you can fly a gentle slope down towards the runway. You might even end up flying completely around the airport while descending before actually turning in and lining up with the approach runway.
I know that some people write complex software in C++. I suspect that number is actually very small.

Simple techniques like autocorrelation can still recover a missing fundamental. To answer the GP post, using neural networks for this task is overkill for simple, clean signals but it can be desirable if you need a) extremely high accuracy or b) robust results when there are signal degradations like background noise
Ask HN: How to Do a GitHub Wrapped?

Has anyone done this? Looking for an easy way to compute it.

Grandma getting fleeced is a small price to pay when the alternative is totalitarianism.
You add housing at the top of the market, the highest price point, because people will pay more for a newer home. Consequently the older ones become cheaper, because people who prefer the new ones and can afford them no longer compete in the market for older ones.

This has been dramatically demonstrated in Berkeley, where I live. We have added tons of 0- and 1-bedroom apartments recently. These are very expensive, $3000/mo+. This building boom has caused the price of rent-regulated older apartments to plunge. What had been renting for $2252/mo in November 2018 is now renting for $1688/mo in November 2023. That is a significant increase in affordability of studio and 1-bedroom apartment, effected by building newer, expensive ones.

>Ideally we'd have a functioning Congress that would debate these issues and write carefully thought-out laws to regulate app stores.

When I go to city council meetings to support housing, the problem is NIMBYs. Not macroeconomic conditions, but ordinary people who show up at an evening meeting to complain about - I kid you not - some code removing a number for garage heights. They wanted to use this to block some apartments in their neighborhood.

This kind of thing happens over and over and over again, all across the US and it adds up.
Seems to be around 3 tokens/s on my laptop, which is faster than average human, but not too fast of course.
On a desktop with mid-range GPU used for offloading, I can get around 12 tokens/s, which is plenty fast for chatting.
I used Discord for Wave because it is real-time, free, and has a lot of community and auto-moderation facilities built in. It also seems to scale well to large communities. Because you asked, I think it is fair game to share our discord link here: https://discord.gg/XfvZ334gwU
But in a very real sense that's just pulling the ladder up and further securing the position of those who got there first. Something else / additionally has to happen here.
The solution is simple: outvote NIMBYs. Until that solution is simple and easy, we wait. We'll get there. The interim will hurt, but we'll get there.
A lot of Comcast customers in this audience are going to be on 500Mbps or Gbps plans. Starlink just can't meaningfully compete with these speeds. Most people in US cities will have two options, cable and either bonded VDSL2 or fiber from the telco. Both will be faster and usually cheaper than Starlink.

The main competitor in most cases, after the cable company and the telephone company, is LTE. Also faster and cheaper than Starlink in a suburban area, but in dense areas the speeds really suffer. I was on LTE home internet for a good while and enjoyed 100+ Mbps at night but only 20 during the day, due to living too close to downtown. Only $45/mo though!
The equivalent to the industrial revolution's impact on material goods pricing, in the domain of labor, did happen. It was slavery. Clearly, that did not persist.
It doesn’t matter. The goal should be to build enough housing to make it a marginal investment, at which point it won’t be attractive to real estate investors. Of course, a house is still attractive to someone who wants to live in it.
I didn’t have time to read the entire article, so forgive me if I blatantly state what it said.

But, isn’t “being bored” leading to enhanced productivity deeply rooted in neuroscience, particularly with regards to dopamine and the reward centers of the brain?

Dopamine is incredibly powerful when understood properly. It can both be the reason you can’t seem to start, and also the thing that allows you to accomplish your goals. Your brain uses dopamine to get you to do more stuff that’s “good for you.”

The problem is, everything in our lives today is engineered to release dopamine, so we get “rewarded” for doing nothing.

By being bored, you dilute yourself down to either doing nothing, or doing the thing you’ve been putting off. It doesn’t take long before the thing starts looking appealing, and you get rewarded for doing it.

This is essentially what people experience when they do a “dopamine fast,” which isn’t really a thing at all, it’s more of a fast from stuff that isn’t productive. It simply works because we really seem to have a dopamine limit within a short time period, where, once reached, things that used to be enjoyable simply aren’t anymore.

Same goes for creativity, motivation, etc. Just stepping away from all the stimulation brings those baseline levels back down and allows you to get excited about doing stuff again, even if it’s not insanely fun.
Confirmed here.
Just about every vacation destination in the world is a place where other people are trying to live. Pretending otherwise is bizarre.
yes actually. If you pay enough, new houses will get built! More space will become available. New units will come online. More rooms available for rent. Small old buildings torn down and new bigger ones constructed in their place.

There's no shortage of housing just a shortage of housing at a price people would prefer to pay. Just like labor.
It's a very different system. When you are part of a cooperative, you are worker and management in one. (We need an educational system that prepares people for this. It is totally doable but obviously today's workforce does not have the training for this.)

When you are part of a cooperative, you will periodically need to vote on internal issues. Once a month you may need to vote in a regional issue. But you are showing up to work and everyone takes a few minutes to vote on something they are deeply involved with. No one would be voting weekly on national policy.

If you want to understand how such a system could be organized, you could see the imperfect but very interesting Mondragon Corporation of Spain:

I'm not trying to make a case for it, it's the simple the truth that systemd has simplified a lot of this behind the scenes work. If you'd prefer to stick to the un-maintained X server because you value your init system more, that's up to you :)
Nobody's swinging that in high demand markets. A lot of dumb people _tried_ to leverage themselves and lost their ass on airbnbs that aren't performing (airbnb has seen huge decline).

The overwhelming majority of second homes are vacation homes.
_Landlords_ aren't keeping people out of housing -- quite the opposite.

Home ownership is kind of an endless money pit anyway. Most people are better off renting in any of the markets we're talking about homeless populations anyway.
Why are .ai domains so expensive?
Zoning should keep 1) noises 2) smells and 3) dangerous things away from where people live and schools and such. Not keep a 6-plex out of a neighborhood with luxury single family units. Or stop people from building on 1500 square foot lots.
I can assure you my morality is 100% legitimate.

I believe for instance that property is theft, as Prodhoun proclaimed.

The fact that we see housing as an investment is part, no, probably most of the problem.
I guess a proficient piano player wouldn't say "I'm learning piano", even though they're still trying to improve.

Do you not see the contradiction in your statement?

Houses are built by developers whom by definition only build a project when it's a sound investment. They immediately stop building when this isn't the case.
Seeing if they follow the rules IS analysis. As is the work of coming up with the rules based on some dataset, which S&P did and does.

Or do you think they yolo’d that criteria out in a vacuum?

It just isn’t micromanaging type analysis. Rather a ‘we think this chunk is worthwhile’ type analysis.
I’ll simplify it for you:

You can act like a dick, lock everything down and impose all kinds of shit onto your product, as long as you do it from the get go before you start being successful and don’t turn into more of a dick once you’re successful.

You wrote: "ultra high net worth persons who mostly hoard it"

> Banks don't loan deposits, but rather loan origination creates deposits. You're a very smart guy, take some time to learn how the banking system actually works.

The banks cannot loan money out unless they have reserves on deposit. Yes I know about fractional reserve banking, but those reserves come from deposits. That's why banks give out free checking. They can loan a multiple out of the cash on deposit. It's also why they have minimum deposit levels.

This is neat and self-contained! But as someone running experiments with a high degree of interactivity, I often have an orthogonal requirement: add more computations to the same cell without recomputing previous computations done in the cell (or in other cells).

For a concrete example, often in an ML project you want to study how several quantities vary across several parameters. A straightforward workflow for this is: write some nested loops, collect results in python dictionaries, finally put everything together in a dataframe and compare (by plotting or otherwise).

However, after looking at the results, maybe you spot some trend and wonder if it will continue if you tweak one of the parameters by using a new value for it; of course, you also want to look at the previous values and bring everything together in the same plot(s). You now have a problem: either re-run the cell (thus losing previous work, which is annoying even if you have to wait 1 minute - you know it's a wasted minute!), or write the new computation in a new cell, possibly with a lot of redundancy (which over time makes the notebook hard to navigate and keep consistent).

So, this and other considerations eventually convinced me that the function is more natural than the cell as an interface/boundary at which caching should be implemented, at least for my use cases (coming from ML research). I wrote a framework based on this idea, with lots of other features (some quite experimental/unusual) to turn this into a feasible experiment management tool - check it out at https://github.com/amakelov/mandala

P.S.: I notice you use `pickle` for the hashing - `joblib.dump` is faster with objects containing numpy arrays, which covers a lot of useful ML things

First of all I do not care if people rent or buy homes. Under my economic policies when I become god-king of America, owning a house will be the worst investment anyone has ever heard of and people will run screaming from the small-time flipper game. I will Make Landlords Poor Again. Vote Jeffbee.

Secondly if a person owns a home and rents it to a second person, I'm fine with it.
You’re not wrong, but don’t forget that they were three hours late. This is really why airports operate on a first–come first–served basis; someone is always late.
I don't understand what in your mind makes overpriced cloud good while non-overpriced cloud (or "hosting" as we used to call it) bad?
