I would be really really surprised if some comment so brazen wasn’t auto deleted on flagging. Saying you want someone to die is very straightforward reason to delete without much thought.
Just watched the utter sewage that was Rebel Moon and was thinking someone needs to install Bill Watterson as content approver at Netflix asap, cause the amount of visuals to convey absolutely nothing is reaching new highs of mindlessness. Tools being used for no reason other than they exist.

Its a sign there aren't enough Bill Wattersons in the room.
100%, this is the fundamental problem with all these techniques. We don't treat our other, more established, historic media/artefacts with the same contempt. If an ancient text fails to mention the colour of the emperor's robes we do not "interpolate" the text with our own ideas of what it should be in our new editions. This would be universally recognised as a textual corruption yet when photo "colourisers" do the same to colourless photographs they think they do the world a service. Why is historic media interesting and valuable in the first place? Fundamentally it is because a historic artefact conveys information from that time period. This is why none of these hyper-restored versions interest me, they are far too corrupted by false or spurious information. Time corrupts them enough already, we don't need to add more. This is the modern version of historical embellishment/exaggeration, contorting it into a more palatable or appealing semi-truth instead of telling the uglier actual truth. The motivations need not be nefarious, they could be entirely commercial like it is today.

They are more tools of embellishment than tools of restoration. A good restoration actually "restores" information. If an old manuscript is missing a page or contains an error, we replace it with the same portion from another manuscript. Likewise if there is a scratch on this frame we should use the same frame from another print to patch it over. We should try to develop our tools to do more of that sort of work. A motion picture produced in the 1990s does not need to look like one produced in the 2020s, in the same way a Rembrandt does not need to look like it was painted in Photoshop.
Ample but because it was one of the gmails I could create with an invitation generated by my own account, this was before you needed ID or anything but a link BTW, it would reveal my true life name which is my "mother" gmail address. I am one of those ass holes who got firstname.lastname@gmail.com as their address. I had a guy offer me $15,000 for my gmail.
If you simplify a correct program, it will most likely still be correct. If you "correct" a simple program, it probably becomes complicated.
I don't think I have a problem with this tbh. Though this specifically looks more engineering and product oriented. What I do have a problem with is comparing papers across vastly different TRLs and comparing works done with 100 GPU years of compute to works with 1 GPU year (or less). Just completely different class of works and comparing is void of context, you know?

The reason I don't have a problem is I see papers as how we researchers communicate with other researchers. But I feel that's not how everyone sees them and there's the aspect that this is how we're judged so incentives get misaligned with actual goal. Idk if the reward hacking is ironic or makes sense because our job is to optimize. But don't let anyone try to convince you that reward (or any cost function) is enough.
Yes, unfortunately we have seen examples recently with COVID where municipalities basically offloaded subsidizing rent to landlords by both prohibiting increases and evictions for non-payment. These policies are not part of what’s normally thought of as rent control or rent stabilization ordinances.

Unfortunately, the proverbial cat is out of the bag and we will likely see repeats of such “subsidies”. It’s unclear how it will change the calculations long-term. Short-term, it has already driven the unlucky small landlords out of business and forced surviving to keep greater reserves. This increased reserves need will definitely hamper future development and probably will drive rents up even more due to lack of supply. Large corporate landlords tend to focus on the higher end of the market, but the shortage is in the more affordable price range…
I reported them, yes. Facebook said they didn't violate policy.
Not really. This pro-Hamas/pro-Palestinian propaganda is full of outright lies and is de-facto material support for Hamas terrorist activity. And of course as such it violates pretty much almost all of the FB rules.

Speaking about lies. Lets look at a pretty typical one mentioned by GGP.

>“Israel bombs the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City killing over 500…”

Running that news directly from the Hamas' mouth, the CNN even had to use the photo of large destruction from completely unrelated location (could be easily checked using satellite images for example). Later the real photos appeared. CNN updated the article

https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/18/middleeast/gaza-hospital-expl...

and you can see that the explosion didn't even make any crater in the pavement to speak of. While these windshields and windows are cracked, the cars at 30-40 ft even still have their windshields and windows. The cars closer are mostly damaged by fire, and only the closest few have blast damage. The solar panels on the roof of the 2 story building next to the parking lot are undamaged (just look at that "house of card" installation of the panels - them still where means no blast wave reached them). There is no way for that explosion to damage the hospital building, and not surprisingly there aren't photos of such a damage. That explosion couldn't kill people beyond the distance of about 30ft. I.e. only people near those damaged cars could have been killed. Even if there was a crowd, such weak explosion doesn't kill beyond the first couple rows of people. So, we're talking at worst 10-20 people, if those for some reason crowded right near those damaged cars (in the middle of the night, why?).

Now, where did the warhead came from? The explosion, judging by night video of it and the described damage on the photos, does look like a rocket of Grad class, definitely not larger. Israel doesn't use such weak warheads in its stand-off weapons. Whereis Hamas does use thousands of such rockets. And these rockets, mostly built by Hamas in underground shops, have high rate of failure, i.e. Gaza is regularly showered with tens of malfunctioning Hamas rockets. And there is even a video from that night with a salvo of Hamas rockets with at least one going in that direction.
I'm not understanding your confusion. Different concepts require different words to distinguish them in conversation. p-value is a name, not merely a descriptor, of one possible way to define a threshold. Other ways of defining thresholds get different names so that everyone knows what's being discussed.

You add in simplicity by taking out code. It is very possible (and common) to find better abstractions or methods to approach a problem that reduce the complexity of the code.
Even being around other people can conform your thoughts to normal terms: get them back "on track", where your only choices are which track, which direction. It's not just the thoughts, but the terms, the dimensions.

I think a most fragile stage is when you've part-imagined a new track, and unclear if it's a good idea, if it works, even what it is. This can collapse like a house of card in the lightest breeze, a dream upon waking.

Human beings are automatically conformist - crucial for learning, language, custom, law, cooperation and trade, from the beginning - so it's good we need special circumstances for "creativity".
That’s the game. When I was looking for a place during covid I could have gotten some dope appartements for much cheaper than the rent controlled ones, hell they would even throw a free month sometimes lol. But I knew all of these would jack up their prices right after your lease ends. It blows my mind that some people don’t look for rent controlled apartments.
This is a bit too much of reading between the lines, suspiciously so.

> Why does the report only say that the man was fully clothed?

It does not. This is misrepresenting what is written in the report, to say the least. There are two such examples in the report (not sure if they refer to the same image): The first one is "image of a Palestinian father in Gaza who was killed while he was holding his clothed daughter, who was also killed" and the other one is "an image of a fully clothed man holding a girl, both deceased". Obviously in both pictures both man and the woman are dead, debunking your "male members of Hamas holding nude or partially-nude dead women" theory.

> However, they don't share what the original post was; responding with a series of Palestinian flags to an Israeli hostage relative's post about their kidnapped sibling, for example, would be clear harassment and abuse.

Again, this is just a guess and not factual information. In fact, the report has a link to the original source in footnote 78 (https://theintercept.com/2023/10/28/instagram-palestinian-fl...) and one of the comments Instagram has hidden was on a pro-Palestinian post:

> In one, a user commented on an Instagram video of a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Jordan with green, white, and black heart emojis corresponding to the colors of the Palestinian flag, along with emojis of the Moroccan and Palestinian flags.

Also:

> The Intercept reviewed several hidden comments containing the Palestinian flag emoji that had no reference to Hamas or any other banned group.

FWIW, that was my first impressions too. Go check out the popular lists page, half by the furry community.

Nothing wrong with that. It's like walking into a biker bar with out realizing and being completely out of place. No issue with bikers, but to be the only preppy dressed nerd in the building?
I'm currently building cardog.io for this, its currently only in Canada. It works by scraping 3000+ dealerships daily for their inventories, I'm working on adding all the more fine grained filters (fuel economy, days on lot, etc), but most of the common filters (make, model, price, year, etc) are working. Still working out some bugs but looking for any feedback.
So you're just going to assume the problem doesn't exist because you'd be surprised if it did? There's skepticism, and then there's sticking your head in the sand...
Who was talking about murder? This was about cencorship.
This isn't a serious list, almost all of these are just political talking points with no substance. I will agree the withdrawal from Afghanistan was extremely poorly done. Yes, he was following the treaty trump had negotiated with the other side (was that neg. with terrorists?) but it was poorly done. A lot more soldiers died pointlessly in Iraq and no one saw it as a war crime on Bush2. The us had secret prisons. My country kidnapped people and tortured them in black prisons. That's a crime too. I'd like to prosecute that.

The justice dept raided trumps home because he

(1) had a long list of secret docs he wasn't supposed to keep
(2) he was recorded on his own video call with his own lawyers where he talked about having them, that he shouldn't have them, and he knew they were still top secret because he specifically discussed that he hadn't changed their classification
(3) asked him to give them back and he kind of gave a few back
(4) asked him again for the things that were in the call and he didn't give them back.

Then he asked people working for him to lie about the whole affair. Some of them turned state's evidence.

Your points don't stand up to scrutiny. Among other things, ex-presidents are subject to the rule of law.
To me it’s more like if you have a non-rent controlled place you have to make it more attractive with lower prices, which is OK as you can just increase like hell after a year.
TBH it already seemed pretty dark without the darker side.
it's dangerous to equate freedom in freedom of speech as having less restrictions, because then the only speech you will hear is the one from people who can recover from whatever bullsh1t they spit. just like "free market" needs strong regulations to prevent monopoly and price gouging, freedom of speech should be about levelling the playing field and not as an excuse for bad takes. in that regard, united states isn't even the most free in terms of speech, it only has the least restrictions. indeed you see cases where the supposed land of freedom severely limits free speech such as dmca (specifically the anti-circumvention law) or charging edward snowden for feloney.

I think that comment is talking about evictions and rent increase moratoria we saw during COVID lockdowns. It was very close to a black swan event, at least for me. Now, reality has changed and landlords need to plan for the risk of not having income for several years. It’s not normal rent control/stabilization, so the long term effects are yet unclear. For now, leverage is risky, so new investment is going to be hard to come by.
It is vanishingly uncommon to simplify an entire application, so that it goes from something complex to something whose number one value is simplicity, such that the simplicity is reflected in the actual functional specification.
Undefined behaviour enables only a fairly small set of optimisations. There's a large set of optimisations that can be implemented completely safely without having to make such dangerous assumptions. Other programming languages do this all the time, it's not just C/C++ that have optimisers!
Thank you, this is very cool. It'll probably replace my current "keep a random vscode/sublime tab" method of notekeeping.
Shift+Alt+Down clones the current line, but this is not indicated in the keybinds info.
Since the next large version will add the feature to customize the buffer storage path, perhaps it's only a small leap from there to add save/load of different buffer files? I imagine it would already be possible at that point by changing the path and reloading or restarting the program, but a slightly more UX friendly version would be neat.
As much as I hate SF, there aren’t any real cities in the US besides SF and NYC. If you can afford to live in Europe or Asia then obviously what are you doing here
Well, now you've heard of one: I left SF in 2019 and moved back in 2021. Do not regret it. If I have to leave in the future it will be with great sadness.

It is not a lawless hellhole. There is a lot of property crime, but it's not because we don't have enough cops. The weather is very good. Excellent restaurants.

The government is ridiculous.

No, NW border of Excelsior is 280, so definitely not north of Monterrey Blvd. Broad strokes neighborhood is Twin Peaks area. That part of Twin Peaks is heavily influenced by historically affluent planned developments. Some of the more well known ones listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Residence_Parks.

I am not familiar with the history of some of the other planned tracts there but this map seems to suggest that area is mostly composed of master planned communities. https://sfrichmondreview.com/2023/01/10/local-author-and-his...
It’s still a suburb meaning you’ll get bored and your social life will suck
It's simply their strategy, really. Turning Palestinians desperate so they turn to violence ("terrorism"), in order to justify turning their territory into even more of a shit hole, so Palestinians who can't take it anymore will emigrate, until the "problem" is gone.

Guess I should've assumed there'd be a mechanical turk element involved, but either way that's a little disappointing.
From my perspective of devops, I've built large hybrid cloud deployments in Ruby (from scratch, including an orchestrator written in Ruby) and would again given the right requirements, as for tooling the ease of writing Ruby outweigh anything else, and for running it it is no different or more complicated than any other container workload. It's a bizarre objection.
I feel like that’s an unfair comparison. Because New York has a ton of cheaper district. Your numbers don’t seem right if you’re looking in Harlem or Brooklyn. Whereas SF is quite small and there are just no cheap apartments. Even TL is expensive as hell.

Yes, that's likely to work on many firewalls, but:

- it means you can't also serve HTTP on those ports (so you'd need a dedicated IP address for SSH), and

- as @charcircuit wrote, it won't resist deep packet inspection.

(But if DPI is a problem and you have a spare IP address, you could just use SSH over TLS without needing the HTTP CONNECT stuff and Apache.)
> I’m fairly certain most of the cost there is in the machinery.

Why are you so certain?

While the hardware isn't exactly cheap, neither is the software. Gathering feedback from a bunch of pilots and incorporating it into the simulator isn't cheap. Renting out an A330 and a couple of pilots to run experimental validation isn't cheap - it costs >$50k an hour and you'll need hundreds if not thousands of hours. Validating each software release isn't cheap.

*> The software should be more or less comparable (there’s no reason for it not to be anyway).

I'm working on second hand info but AFAIK it takes over a dozen modern networked server systems to provide the fidelity the simulators need (with multiple GPUs no less). The software isn't comparable simply because a consumer machine isn't powerful enough to run the real stuff and the quality of the simulators has absolutely sky rocketed in the last 20 years. The've been constantly upgraded to the point that a 747 simulator now costs more than the plane itself.
This is quite interesting.

Not in my experience. Which companies pay the same in SV and the UK?
I don't see why "From the river to the see" would be hateful in isolation. Certainly some people who say it may have hateful thoughts in their minds, but wishing for palestinian land where Israel is now is not hateful in itself.
Generally an over-reliance on the instruments. Not looking out the front window as the primary means of judging the aircraft's attitude, not navigating visually. Also, not using trim in a realistic way (looking at you, magical set-trim-to-level button...).
Ope. You're right. I didn't see north of Monterey. I need to read closer.
If you algebraically simplify a correct program it will be correct.

But the simplicity which is at play in the context of "worse is better" is simplicity of requirement specifications themselves, before any code is written. (I think I'm the one who muddied the waters here by insinuating that correctness is a matter of debugging an incorrect program against a correct specification.)

In projects that value simplicity over correctness, what that means is that what is considered correct (as in the requirement we shall implement) is the simpler requirements, which are regarded as incorrect by other projects.

Programs that implement the complex requirements are vanishingly improbable to be simplified into programs that implement simple requirements, simply because those are breaking changes.

E.g. you can't take a database engine that provides certain consistency guarantees and make it have weaker guarantees in the next version (for the sake of simplicity), without breaking all the applications that depend on the current guarantees.

Correctness can be added --- including at the requirements level, not only debugging. It can be because it's often backwards compatible. E.g. adding handling for cases that were previously ignored.

I think our laws largely in this area (involuntary commitment) reflect how hostile a particular state or geographic location feels towards their homeless population and other undesirables as you suggest.

Psychiatry is used to get these people off the street (for their own benefit of course), and either the state is content to just to disappear them into a hospital (the hospital loves the chance to reap all that money), or is happy to see them in and out, having them experiencing a combination of psychiatric drug withdrawal and side effects.

Perhaps it's not like that everywhere, and these people are provided the medication free of charge through some means, but I know that a pharmacy won't fill your prescription if you don't have money.

Imagine what this dynamic looks like if somebody also has an addiction to feed, or isn't educated properly on the powerful drug(s) they are being prescribed. There's a lot that can go wrong when you give prescription drugs with physical dependence to people who see the opportunity to 1) sell them 2) not take them consistently 3) or administer incorrectly (try to get high). Any of those things can risk withdrawal and other physical side effects, that could only make somebody more unstable, or their behavior even riskier.

Which is tantamount to poisoning these people (why prescribe something with physical dependence if you know they can't reliably get the medication? Where is the "Do no harm"?), and sounds pretty unconstitutional to me on many levels. In general, the homeless have more of their rights stripped than any other population that I'm aware of in the US.

You can't sleep in your car because city/town ordinances, benches are being made to prevent being slept on (hostile architecture in general has become a pretty common), in most areas you can't access or afford housing or property when there's empty housing and property everywhere, the shelters aren't safe, you can't build what you want on your property (e.g. tiny houses not being allowed in some areas), and lastly simply being homeless is enough justification to have all your rights stripped and your freedom taken away. For your own good, because just being homeless is a mental illness in itself for everyone concerned.
I'd be happy to help point you in the right direction for this. Maybe send me a PM on Reddit, I am there under the same username.
