I don’t know how to discuss this because I have no idea how you came to that conclusion.

It seems like a totally straightforward headline to me. There’s no mention of per-capita, no mention of some sort of multiplier.

It actually seems like quite a generous headline to me, given that it is talking about just the US government (when most of our healthcare system is privately paid).
Maybe you’ve been browsing too many alternative websites.
I don’t think what you’re saying disagrees with my point. NVidia saw the momentum in AI research building long before ChatGPT arrived. AlexNet came out in 2012 and drew a ton of attention back then.
The drivers have been fine for years now, anyone using a current or previous gen knows it, the only reason people think they are still bad is because people are still parroting it.
My local news coverage[1] of this story linked to the Federal data[2].

incredibly cynical to not recognize the tentacles the US MIC has extended into this conflict (and others) also

I mean, you literally have politicians talking up military aid as an indirect US jobs program
There is definitely a lot of van life/stealth campers going on here in Seattle, it isn’t hard to notice. But judging by their social media videos, is it fair to call them homeless? It seems like they chose that lifestyle rather than having it forced on them (or maybe it’s a mixture of both?).

Van life is a huge difference from the RVs, who don’t really care about stealth, they just come in, deflate their tires, and call some curb+sidewalk their home, pile up random possessions on the sidewalk to make it impassable. This category is usually drug related, so not hard to notice.

There is also the working poor who become homeless unrelated to drugs, who are living out of their cars. We really should prioritize those cases, which is easy enough to handle with just housing. They don’t need drug addiction treatment, they aren’t going to burn down the home you give them in a few weeks. But all our money is going to the former and not much is prioritized for the latter, which is a huge shame. I think we should hugely prioritize sober shelters and housing that have strict rules, it would really help the working homeless (none of them want to bunk with drug addicts for good reason, which also keeps them from getting help).
> At it's 'lowest' level it's the integration of multiple units: basically anything that covers multiple functions.

So, testing...?

test_unit_1 {
assert(foo())
}

test_unit_2 {
assert(bar())
}

That's not a use of 'integration' that anyone would ever find useful. If they do, they must not be software developers. 'Integration' adds nothing. But, if this is the definition you have made up on the spot, then, yes, you could use this to explicitly test a third-party library. It is no surprise that you can explicitly test a third-party library using testing.

test_unit_1 {
assert(third_party_library.foo())
}

But even then, it is not clear why you would meld that into your application's project and not its own project? It has absolutely nothing to do with your first-party application. Logically, that kind of test is best kept in the third-party library's own project.

--

Perhaps you misspoke and meant a single unit that covers multiple functions?

test_unit_1 {
write()
assert(read())
}

But that is also just testing... As soon as you have internal mutable state (every program that does something; not even the FP diehards are able to completely avoid internal mutable state), you are always going to have to call at least two functions – one to mutate the state, another to observe the state afterwards. Here too, 'integration' adds nothing. There is no practical situation where you would ever communicate this as being distinct from the above. If this is it, it is also clearly made up on the spot.

--

The remaining two I guess say something, albeit flimsily, but obviously do not allow explicit testing of third-party code. Take the second case, since it provides some concrete code. Show us how you would update that code to explicitly test some third-party library. Remember that you said it calls "your handler code". I will wait.
Certain apps have always gotten special treatment. If it’s big enough to mess with phone sales they’re allowed nonsense a normal dev would be permanently banned for.

Ex: all the stuff FB has been caught doing over the years

My understanding (no first hand experience) is that WeChat and Alipay are basically required in China. If a phone doesn’t have them, it’s worthless and won’t sell.

So naturally they too can do nonsense that would get the rest of us booted to space.
I never said it was perfect, but I am pointing out that your argument is fundamentally flawed.

Even if it isn't happening as much as it should be, doesn't change that there is still value in a proper science and math education.

We know that thanks to republicans many schools can no longer give their kids a proper education.
American cops might be the worst but they are by no means the only ones that are systematically bad. Cops are detested by large swaths of the population everywhere. France?? Just this past summer? Literal entire books have been written about how routinely indian police use torture. etc etc. Even if ours are the worst (idk) the problem is hardly unique to us.
It’s so crazy how my vaporware does like 99% of my driving for me every day. I guess I am living in a vapor world where I happily pay $200/mo for vapor.
hell you don't even have to go to old europe, lets see them make it to and from newark airport
Everyone who is easily congested already knew it.
When said housing is being bought by VCs and companies, then to be rented back to people in the community for 50% more than purchase, yeah it's not going to do much at all.

I've watched my 2 local communities go through this right now. House 10y ago was under 100k. Now is bought by rental firm, and only rented at $2000/mo

And it's also more terrible, that things like the student loan crisis also hits credit, therefore also affecting home ownership. And regardless of paying rental stabily for 5y doesn't matter to a bank and mortgage.

The boomers and older never had to deal with "credit". They did have to prove income. Now, we suffer under 10x worse.

There's so many problems, and they're all tightly intertwined. The result is that simple supply isn't the only fix. Punishing companies for making homes into rentals with exponentiating taxes would help. Requiring banks to accept proof of rental as proof of payment burden would also help. So would reducing/eliminating zoning.

But none of these are palatable to 'The American People' (aka the rich).

Ready Player One talked about 'The Stacks'. And more and more, that seems like what our country is turning towards with our decline.
A lot of pharmacies have limited hours and long lines for people to say "give me the thing" compared to just grabbing it off the shelf at any time of day with no line.

Some people I know are essentially nocturnal, and have to significantly disrupt their lives whenever they have to do an irregular medication pickup rather than having it shipped ahead of time.

So it can be beyond just "slightly more work" for many people to get it.

Personally, I try to remember to get some whenever I refill meds at the pharmacy, not because I go through it that often, but because if I'm feeling poorly enough that I'm taking it, I probably am not in a state where I want to wait an hour in line just to ask for it.
Thank you for all of us that this issue impacts and should be able to make their own medical choices.
There are a few things.

The longer you are unhoused, the more that you are in a chronic state of danger. Opioids turn that stress response off for a moment and simultaneously make it harder to get out of the situation that caused the problem.

The Opioid addicts don't care about being seen in a way that the invisible homeless do.

The people whose mental health crises are exacerbated by being homeless are more likely to be visible because they have no reserves left. And Fentanyl is a good way to ignore that mental health crisis for a moment.
The big elephant in the room, is those who have homes aren't ever going to let go of their homes for anything else than 100+% profit, it's in their best interest to not allow any other competition. Neighborhoods that argue over inches of fences and HOA colors, routinely come together to block apartments and other housing.

This holiday season, family members will be openly bragging about how their home is worth 1.7 million, which they purchased for 300k. The room full of apartment/roommate living student debt loaded will get very quiet.
I would be concerned too.

* Only being paid when a book is finished is bogus. I have a few audio books that have listened to for only a portion of the book. The biggest example being Seveneve where I don't want to listen to part 3 again.

* The 15 hour monthly limit might begin to act as pressure to keep audio books length under 15 hours. Some in sci-fi can exceed that limit now.
If you think that was somehow a righteous move, you are kidding the living daylights outta yourself, friend.
> The A100 can consume 700W

No, it can consume 400W [0], and it should be pumping images, in either case, much faster than my 3080Ti laptop if you manage to fully utilize it (and if you don’t, then its not going to consume that much power, either.)

There's causation between homelessness and fentanyl use. Being homeless is absolutely hellish in this country; if your life has fallen apart that you're truly living on the street then there's little support and a lot of danger. Opioids might be one of the only options for you to actually feel happy when the rest of your life is terrible and you've run out of options.

It certainly happens that people get addicted to opioids and then their lives fall apart as a result of addiction but it's important to consider how despair itself can lead to addiction.
Especially among programmers, who takes rule of thumbs way to literally.
At least Audacious (in its audacious-plugins package) as well as Qmmp support chiptunes via the Game_Music_Emu library. I'd imagine many other plugin-based players for Linux/Unix have support as well.
The cost lies in the existing code’s implication on future maintenance and changes. You can’t measure that future time cost until it’s too late.
Absent a population crash or economic catastrophe, people have to live somewhere and will pay to do so one way or another.
At my job it's a weird situation where it isn't really possible to even compile the code locally so we end up editing locally and then uploading the code to another system to compile it. Then we can remote into a hypervisor to spin up a VM with the code.

So in a way it's "local" because we have private environments to build & test the code (and don't need to go through a build system) but it is still a relatively slow code-compile-test loop.
I’ve bought pseudoephedrine tablets at Boots on a trip but I think I did have to ask at the counter.
I wasn't saying the requirements never change. But the frequency and extent of those changes is simply not comparable to the frequency and extent in business software. The features of your `bc` implementation may change, but fundamentally it will always be a command-line calculator. It isn't tomorrow going to need to become Wolfram Alpha.

Yes, I can't wait for another "app drawer" alongside podcasts that I'm forced to ignore. This is causing me start buying music more and more from bandcamp so I can have control over all of this again.
We already have houses that are not investments, just like cars. RVs, park model trailers and mobile homes.

Most people would prefer a regular house or apartment, given the option.
I think this is a dig aimed at DLSS, and the complaint seems to be that it's only meant to make framerates higher at the expense of quality.
Is that better or worse? "Don't worry you or I cannot exploit this, only large corporations and data aggregators can."
When I'm sick I "do my own research". If you are similar you are familiar with over the counter remedies and their purported effects. Not that many 'effective' medicines are available over the counter in the US and this was a very popular one.
> So they had all this CUDA stuff, which they must have invested in heavily because AMD showed what happens when you don't. That led to a software ecosystem for ML.

CUDA was already digital gold in 2018. ML had moved to GPUs several years prior, and CUDA was a primary enabler of that transition.
At this point whenever I'm on a walk I clean up any plastic litter I spot and dispose of it. I live not too far from some creeks and retention ponds along a local flood plain where I know my neighborhood's storm drains are headed. Seeing so much plastic litter and other pollutants spoil a habitat that once supported a very vibrant ecosystem was sad to watch, and I'm doing whatever small things I can to help. But we need systemic change to deal with plastic pollution.

(The fish died from lawn runoff causing algae blooms as well - please be aware that if you live somewhere where it rains, then over fertilizing pollutes.)
in fact, are not well equipped to protect anyone either. Police are minutes away once dispatched. Even upon arrival, they aren't required to put themselves in harm's way to save you, just hope to mitigate further damage to others around you.
> I think it's the surprisingly poor quality

It's also a friggen preview and uncompleted thing. They could have waited for the whole thing to be done and polished but everyone was barking at them "just release it I don't care if it's not done"

Judging by your previous comments, you're not even a customer of theirs and have very misguided views on the product and it's pricing.

I have a feeling you have a competing product and are just trying to drum up negativity about Tailwind.

As a stress test, SF is good but not great. Autonomous vehicles seem to have huge problems dealing with snow due to the obscured lane lines. It never really snows in SF (maybe a few flakes in rare conditions but not enough to stick).
There is a setting to allow location for the "Networking and Wireless" system service. I wonder if disabling that would prevent this from working?

Your government can track you all the time you have your phone with you, they have authority over the infrastructure. They can also make device manufacturer to track you for them, later you will be a single digit increase in their transparency stats.

If you don't want the government track you, you will have to do much better than using mainstream consumer devices. Apple is not your spycraft supplier.
Wouldn't that claim of "only 3 minor injuries" be relatively easy to refute?

Sure, I'm not so naive to think there's no corporate spin, and especially with Alphabet's marketing and media resources and the need for positive sentiment towards Waymo, but I think if Waymo's safety record were anywhere near Tesla's (or Cruise's) it would be very hard to spin this well and not be refuted, they would be better off not giving an update in that case.
That might define you, but not the rest of us. Think about it, most people likely to reply on this subject probably know something about it.
Does that mean there's a lot of empty houses in Seattle?
Takeaway: when faking data, make sure your numbers are randomly distributed. ;)

Seriously, this was fascinating and disturbing that it took so long.
The US is an "anarcho-capitalist" wasteland of domination that takes great amazing powerful innovations from talented people and uses them to oppress the least powerful underclasses.

Always has always been

I'm unaware of an example where this is not true. Every single major "innovation" came at the cost of some indigenous person's property or is exploiting a worker who is in crisis. In fact when US producers run out of people to exploit in the US, corporations pushed politicians to pass "treaties" such as NAFTA etc... to expand the pool of exploitable labor while ensuring the previous workers cannot compete.
I would imagine it depends on individual contracts. If they’ve sold those rights, then no.
If you scroll all the way down, you can see at least a similar look of “the band” :)
and you can try (and fail again) to explain how 10% of medical care cost for admin (your number) is bigger than the other 90%.

Ha, fascinating. (And thanks for trying it out!)

So would a tarball on Github put you off, do you think? Would you prefer a raw directory listing from Apache at dl.huck.sh (et al)?
> It seems like they chose that lifestyle

By that definition me not living in a mansion overlooking the ocean is also a lifestyle choice. I doubt that many people in cities would live in vans if housing wasn't so unaffordable.
Luck is a big part of it, but doesn't explain why other GPU makers haven't benefited in the same way.
This is where the distinction between essential/intrinsic and incidental/accidental complexity comes in. Any code in the solution but not required in the solution is excess. Usually though we don't measure this in lines, but rather in cognitive load (which can come in any number of inappropriate choices).
The 4th amendment doesn't prohibit others from volunteering information about you.
Having worked on several large and complex codebases there is a very distinct difference in how the teams working on them saw the code based on whether or not it was unit tested.

The teams who were fastidious with their unit and automation testing saw the code as an asset. It was generally reliable and not risky to change.

The teams with little to no unit or automation testing saw their code as an ever growing liability as complexity increased ultimately culminating in the great rewrite every few years.
> Tesco posted a profit of about £1.5bn in 2022. Where exactly do you think this comes from?

I think it comes from everything they sell. You're taking the business' overall performance and seemingly attributing it all to people not buying meal deals when they could.

> I know about loss leaders, but I severely doubt meal deals are loss leaders considering they are placed at the front of the shop and customers often come in to buy them at lunch time.

This is the definition of a loss leader. Bring people in to buy it, and they'll buy a few other things at the same time.

> What matters is the bottom line. You aren't beating Tesco.

These conversation-ending grand statements aren't relevant. I'm not trying to beat Tesco.
Hey! That makes a ton of sense and feels pretty dumb to not have thought about
Thanks!
> Mine is 2.4k lines long!

Are you telling me you actually use 2,400 key bindings?

If you do, then would it really be that hard to invent them yourself?

If you don't, then what good are all of these keymaps actually doing you?

I'm not advocating that you should have to reinvent your keymap. I'm advocating that you should be able to.

Emacs is the very best case available: it's technically possible! Nearly everything else demands we learn its own opinion, instead of implementing our own.
No. All the new housing is consumed quickly by new arrivals who aren’t unhoused. Build it and they will come, induced demand applies as much to housing as it does to freeways.
> I believe email addresses should be treated as identities.

Because nobody ever shares an email address, and email is super secure

Your explanation is much clearer than what I said, so yeah, this
The land that is next to the jobs is expensive. The construction costs of single homes are going to make it out of reach for those who are in housing precarity, even if you make them "tiny houses."
This is true, but they’ve been lucky because a gigantic new market appeared which is very friendly to their hardware ( and they make sure it is like you said ). That market could also never have happened at all.
Those four states are where 90m of the 330m people live, so it's not really all that surprising.
If we have too many people for the good life let’s stop more from coming in and let our below replacement birth rates get us back there. Our population growth is almost exclusively driven by immigration. This seems fixable.
Something to keep in mind is that how fast dependence builds can vary very largely between people.

I have a few times taken opioids for weeks on end because I had very invasive surgery with quite extraordinary amounts of pain during recovery, and have never felt the desire to take more after the pain stopped being above a very high threshold.

I've known others who have taken opioids for a couple days for something that healed much more rapidly, being very afraid to take them, and had to be sure they disposed of any left because they definitely felt the urge to take more beyond relieving immediate pain.
Perfectly chaotic rotation might be worse. If it was a spiral then you could hit it at a pole. I think most things rotate about a semi-fixed axis (not totally fixed, often propagating over time)
I wish too. I hate it when I don't know why I'm downvoted.
I'm almost certain this refers to DLSS which uses "AI" (DLSS means Deep Learning Super Sampling) to generate a higher resolution output frame from smaller resolution renders by combining data from multiple frames over time using various AI approaches (i'm not exactly sure how) and, as of DLSS 3, being able to interpolate frames asynchronously from the rendering so that it can double the framerate.

The process is not perfect and can introduce various visual artifacts, which are especially visible at lower monitor/output resolutions and the artifacts are more likely to occur when the render resolution is also much lower than the output resolution. These two also feed into each other as in general cheaper/weaker hardware (where the lower render resolutions would be used) tends to be paired with lower resolution monitors (where the artifacts would be more visible). I guess the "shitty, squashed, artifact laden" comes from there.

DLSS 3 doubles the framerate by interpolating frames in the GPU (so the game doesn't "know" about them and player input isn't handled), hence "fake frames".

I thought local network access and WiFi details also required location services access for this reason.
I certainly hear from many people on the left that it’s nostalgia for the religious and racial power structure that’s driving it, but I’m not sure I buy it.

For the rank and file it might very well be economic, but the up and coming politicians seem to be more about money and power than any actual plan of governance.
Chalking it up to dumb luck is kind of ridiculous. They invested massively in developing an ecosystem for GPU driven computing, which was a well reasoned gamble, and it paid off.
> Preferences and motivations in leadership change over time

That is a risk. At least in the US you can be certain the consistent goal of the private healthcare system is to part you from your money. :)
