> Meanwhile NYC alone has more Asians than LA/SF combined

Numerically, not proportionally. The Bay Area has been a hub for Asian Americans for a long time.

> Fort Lee has its own contribution here

Fort Lee is mostly Korean.

I gave an examples of Pakhtun and Cantonese food - one a niche community in the US and the other a large diaspora in the US.

That's the thing - us Asians aren't a monolith. We're a fucking continent with hundreds of different ethnicities.

Just about every South Asian, Chinese, and Southeast Asian community is represented in the Bay, with a well represented Central Asian and East Asian community as well.

I can get Liti Chokha (Bhojpuri), Laghman (Hui-Uyghur fusion), Horse Kumis (Mongolian), Banh Mi Xiu Mai (Highland Vietnamese), etc within the core Bay Area via public transit alone. With driving it would be even faster

That almost isn't a thing in NYC. Hell, there's only one Laghman joint in NYC and they completely butchered their Samosa compared to Mrs Khan, Kusan, or Nursel. Farida is decent, but half their family and staffed moved to the Bay Area to open restaurants like Halal Dastarkhan.

Every small Asian ethnic group is well represented in the Bay irrespective of size.

If you're a numerically large ethnic group like Korean or Cantonese it might not matter as much, but it does to us who are from smaller ethnic groups. My ethnic group has only 3 million people at most, and most of them only reside in South and Central Asia with no diaspora.

I don't want to lose my cultural background. And this is the same for plenty of other smaller communities.

> NYC for Italian subs?

It's an example of cultural assimilation to highlight how ingrained Asian ethnic groups have become in California.

What if the company pays 100k for your extra education in some specific niche field, and you then quit and get a 50k starting bonus at a competing company, that doesn't have to invest 100k for your education?
If LLMs are potentially the next phase of computing with as much momentum and economic importance as personal computers were in the 1980s, something is strange about our financing markets that this level of capital is sought in private financing events rather than public market IPOs.

For historical context, Apple IPO'ed in 1980 with a market cap of $1.8 billion, and about $117 million in annual sales. Even if I do an inflation adjustment on those numbers, that's a $6.9 billion market cap and $449 million in sales. I totally get that, strategically, companies like OpenAI (and, say, Stripe) don't need to IPO, because the capital is available in private markets. But I always thought there was something healthy about US tech companies reaching the financial mountaintop of an IPO and those companies then becoming subject to more regulation and disclosure, while also generating a more broadly shared economic prosperity for employees and for public equity investors.

> Should We Tell People It's Too Late to Save Civilization?

What civilization ? They are all savages. /s
In the US, fast food companies often use non-competes to prevent part time burger flippers from working a second job to supplement their income.

The effect is that two restaurants can each hire two people for a total of 40 hours per person, but don’t have to provide either with full-time benefits, like health care, paid time off, reliable hours, etc.

I wonder how your law works in situations like this.
There are posts of students sharing their experiences using flight simulators to enhance their flight training; they discuss their perspectives on how these simulators have been beneficial in their practice and learning process.

I was aware of one, but couldn't find it. Here's another interesting one: https://fsnews.eu/using-msfs-for-flight-training-helped-pass....

This is the conclusion:

Did my home simulator help me save money on flight training?
Yes and no. I passed my Private Pilot checkride after just about 4 months and 68.9 hours in my logbook. According to the FAA’s statistics, the national average is 75 hours, and my instructors at my Part 61 school say that their typical students are generally around 75-80 hours. Therefore, I would put my “graduation” on the slightly low side of average. I think that I can certainly attribute some savings to the sim – learning the Garmin avionics, for example – but it is difficult to tell with certainty. [...]
Looks really nice. I wanted to do exactly this with my project Kavita, but have been distracted with other things. I've heard Whisper has great potential and a few of my users have been doing something similar with it.

Look forward to see how this project matures. We need more options in the book reading scene that are self-hosted and not Calibre.
Isn't any title is an 'opinion' of what is important about an article?
I don’t think everyone is persuadable, at least, not necessarily by AI. For example, if some evil AI is out there persuading people to do bad things by texting and emailing them supernaturally compelling evil messages (which seems pretty generous, to assume that such a message is even possible), one could become impossible to persuade by just not checking email or text and only interacting in-person.

I am more worried that there exist many easily persuadable people. These people are already convinced to do evil things by social media and other advertisements, but AI might be able to coordinate them more cleverly than advertisers.

Long ago I signed a (fairly limited--almost certainly wouldn't have applied to me) non-compete when my company was acquired. I didn't have one previously; they were far from universal. The choice was sign or be fired. And this was in a time and place and situation where it would certainly not have been a matter of sending a few emails and having multiple job offers the next week.

The acquirer was later one of the big opponents of legislation that would eventually somewhat limit non-competes in Massachusetts.
can you please clarify, from technical perspective

> enable podman.socket (available as system and user unit)

Won't it make podman be daemon then if it'd be activated by socket?

Won't such a daemon be run as root then to be able to handle creation of networks/ports forwardings/multiple-users?
I don’t think you’re being intellectually honest. I didn’t have access to the Internet in my home in 1992, and the rest of the world didn’t either. I did pay for and have access to Compuserve forums. There was very little content back then. Certainly no huge video sites where you can learn practically anything, or hardly any of the good benefits we enjoy from being online today. If you loved the 1992 internet I can probably find an AOL disk to send you. And just because there is one ad free site we are both using hardly means the rest of the sites wouldn’t somehow disappear. YC is paid for by some rich folks who have made plenty of money that ultimately (though not exclusively) came from ads. Like it or not, ads are an economic necessity. If you have a better solution start a company that gives away free, valuable content and prove it.
That is total BS. How would we even know that if it were true?

Do you remember being instructed not to cite wikipedia as a source?
It was closely tied/integrated into Google hardware and data center architecture as far as I understand - it is not just some binary you can run on a raspberry pi.

We see a web UI, but that is the tip of the iceberg.
Sounds really interesting. Would be great to see a 4 bit GGUF and/or evaluations of some sort.
How would you know what specialized education the next employer needs? Also, that assumes that classes are equivalent to on the job training.

I guess you could get a job in the non-compete window, but only be trained by the next employer while the previous one paid. That seems complicated and silly though.
Of course this is not a serious article but mostly some kind of government FUD to increase prices "because of a looming danger".

Been there, done that.

Sorry friend, didn't mean it as an insult, just a jest.
In practice, noncompetes are rare, because noone wants to pay for someone who quit (or got fired).

I personally know only one person with a current non compete, he worked at some niche company, that paid a few tens of thousands of euros for specialization in one specific niche branch and one specific software. He can still work in the same industry, just not with that specific software, and he got 75% of his previous paycheck for (i think) 18 months (the length of the noncompete) + of course the current paycheck he earns in a similar industry (with obviously a different software solution).

The noncompetes are usually a case of having to invest a lot to educate a worker in the first place (again, niche stuff). General stuff (like a php programmer) would never get a noncompete, because the courses are cheap, anyone can learn that themself, and the monthly payouts are more expensive than udemy courses. On the other hand, there is some abuse, where people get employed, especially in the public sector, to get the expensive (cisco, redhat, microsoft,...) certificates paid by the employer and then quit and do freelance work.
don't forget that the 3rd edition has a separate volume titled The Art of Electronics: The X Chapters which includes some really fascinating material i've never seen anywhere else. a lot of practical design tips for working with real components along with some very advanced circuit designs. if you're already an EE, this volume is a great way to sharpen your skillset.

He definitely achieved a lot, but its not useful to undermine others or say he achieved more (and therefore they are beneath him) since it's not really that kind of competition.

These people pushed forward human civilization. They are all an inspiration to us.
Yeah, but those are people who are nowhere near that level of excellence at all.

Gossip for those people is often just a mechanism to increase their self esteem in front of bigger than life artists who truly changed the world. It is a bit like music lovers who have strong opinions about everything, while not being able to play a single note on any instrument. For them comparing the great musicians on that level makes them feel important too – if they can't walk the walk they at least try to talk the talk. Meanwhile most actual musicians are usually far more tolerant about the types of music they would consider interesting, because for them everything new they hear is something that can be used as an influence for creation.

So if someone asks whether Bach or thee greates Jazz musicians on the height of their game were the greater artists, any musician with half a brain cell would reject the question, because the question doesn't even make sense. Both things are absolutely masterful within the ideas they tried to explore. And those were different ideas.

That would be like comparing a masterfully built modern bridge to gothic cathedral. They are from different times, have been created in different societies, with different goals in mind with a different knowledge base, etc. Any comparison that would be worth anything would have to account for all these different factors and then land at a result that would be highly subjective anyways (which is not a bad thing if you are interested in using that comparison to increase your own self worth in front of the architects who planned those – but futile otherwise).
This is a great article, thank you!
I switched to Geforce now and did not miss stadia. The biggest problem with stadia was that they tried to make it into a store/ecosystem where you could only play things you paid for specifically for stadia. Got a huge steam library? Tough.

Geforce now just let's you play games you already own (with some limitations based on publisher deals, developer support FWIU etc). And it's just as good as stadia was in terms of user experience IMHO having used both.
On its own, "from the river to the sea" is just a description of a geographic area. It is equivalent to a bounded GIS grid. It is not a complete sentence. There is no verb.

I wish for a future where there is peace and love, with no violence, from the river to the sea. I wish for a future where all people, from the river to the sea, have full human rights under the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I wish for a future where all people, from the river to the sea, are enthusiastic users of GNU/Linux and the worst conflicts are debates over text editors.

If someone uses "from the river to the sea" in a sentence where they call for genocide, then what would make that sentence wrong is the verb phrase calling for genocide.

I thought you were going to point out that the world isn’t one singular civilization. Each country has its own unique civilization unto itself (both better and worse). The international stuff somewhat makes this feel redundant, but the differences are clearly there and best off when mutually respected. Suggesting civilization collapse is mistaking complexity for impossibility.

Edit-this feels like the kids on voice chat chanting “turtle! Turtle!!” When a player is having a hard game and the bullies want that player to quit. Except humanity is far too big and far too disparate and far too resourceful to decide on collapse.

Bach's work would have been lost to obscurity were it not for Mendelssohns rediscovery and promotion of his work about 50y after J.S. Bach's death, and causing a revival that kept the work alive. I'm trying to find good sources for the story as it's part of an example how someone trying to assimilate into european society (Mendelssohn was a jewish convert to christianity, likely to find work) was responsible for defnining one of its pillars just by appreciating it. J.S. Bach's son, J.C. apparently tutored a very young Mozart in London as well, so we can see how the seed of J.S. Bach's work propagated.

The piece I'm missing is that J.S. Bach's work contains several homages to Vivaldi, and there was something transmitted between them that is an understanding not just of counterpoint, but about symmetry and form that is fun to pursue in spare moments.
Surely at some point it is binary.

Economic value isn't the sum of energy spent.

If increasing efficiency can increase the value of a set amount of energy, it can also increase the value of a decreasing amount of energy.
Its much better trying to appease 15 VCs than the entire trading world. Literally anyone rich enough can create a meaningful stake in your company and start disparaging you in public if they wanted to. Im sure there would be an army of short sellers lined up the moment OpenAI IPO'd in its current state

In the current state no one has financial interest in spreading negative news about them

The correlation between economic value and energy spent is firmer and more universal than just about any relation in economics, period
I would not.

On the other hand I have no idea how to deal with a situation where a small tech company develops some highly specialised expertise in house only to have all their employees poached over night by a far bigger competitor that can pay them a salary or signing bonus that would be uneconomical for the smaller company to match.

How would you discourage this kind of hostile takeover?
Its financially advantageous because public companies are judged far too much on their short term quarterly results. Going public these days is actually inferior to staying private for capital intensive long term businesses. OpenAI can lose money for another decade, and private investors will fund it.
From what I've seen, hundreds of millions of deaths are priced in. But that's nowhere close to 8 billion. Humanity will survive. It's just going to be unpleasant.
All of the flashing logic is client-side. As a bonus they could archive the whole site. But even if just the firmware blobs were available it would be a huge win as developing another flasher is probably pretty easy with the provided documentation. I suspect that it wouldn't be hard to identify and download most of the firmware that could be used (I don't think there are many controller revisions) but distributing those will be a legal grey area without a proper license from Google which presumably owns the copyright.

Elon Musk himself talks out of both sides of his mouth. He says public markets are the best way to ensure accountability and alignment. He also says to avoid, if possible, ever going public due to regulatory overhead.

I suppose both can be true. It’s just a good reminder that when push comes to shove, special interest money would always prefer to serve fewer masters than more.

yes, but it depends on the field. ramanujan had the great advantage of working in a field where ideas can be tested with pencil and paper. if you show a purported ramanujan a lacuna in his proof, or if you can't find one, that's pretty good evidence

it's much harder to skim the dross off a leonardo, to correct your mixed metaphor, because siege engines and flying machines require empirical testing, and that's expensive. within the hypothetico-deductive method you can tell whether someone's logic is incorrect (just as with ramanujan) but if they're proposing a different hypothetical basis, you often have to test it empirically

often you can proceed from their proposed hypotheses to obviously empirically false conclusions. but historically that hasn't been an especially good guide; in the 19th century kelvin proved that the sun was younger than the earth, demonstrating that something was wrong with his hypothetico-deductive framework, but it took quite a while to figure out what. and today relativity and quantum mechanics are widely considered irreconcilable
Well, in case anyone else reads this: I mean that if you click the huge “message” button at the top of a contact’s page, that opens iMessage, and there’s nothing I can do to change that if I don’t want to be using iMessage.

For contrast, Android lets users use third party texting apps, remove the default messaging app, have all “message”-oriented actions open the app of your choice, etc. Apple, I claim, does not support this because it means that every iPhone user is also an iMessage user. But iMessage is a social network (a la WhatsApp), and a separate product.
I wonder how this works out for MySQL. Any time I’ve used uuid there I’ve used my own version (more like v7 that is available now).
