I think it would go down if the people who were demanding it were less wealthy.
Well, if people left at a higher rate than people decided they wanted to arrive, the supply is now less insufficient to meet demand and so it is expected that prices would decrease.
OK, but I think you are moving the goal posts. You referred to “data races” and “security exploits” and suggested the two were not related. Memory corruption is only one (small) class of security exploits. Data races cause just as many in process, in memory, exploits as multi-step file operations (we are talking breaking application security models). Perhaps Rust can prevent most of these! (I don’t know rust).

Armchair psychology warning!

Try doing something in Vue, Flutter, or SvelteKit or something... it will probably be significantly easier than what you expect!

The hardness comes from the fact that you're basically writing bookkeeping two way state sync code, and if you don't have a reactive framework you're doing it by hand.

Plus, there are so many GUI libraries, and the easy ones are big. I suspect GUI haters choose low level stuff, then complain about how hard it is.

Or, they might use language without that great of GUI bindings. They might also start out with a specific vision of how it should work, whereas people who find GUIs easy are picking a big popular framework and not really thinking of any ideas outside it's language.

I generally don't even start thinking about architecture or code until after I've already chosen my tools, I want to do designs that fit the tools I'm using, not design something and than choose a language specifically for the design.

Plus, you cannot build a nice GUI on top of a UNIXY backend without lots of work. For some reason I don't understand, programmers seem to think of computers as devices that take input and produce an output, and build stuff that looks like a compiler tool chain.

With GUI, you're not computing an output, you're updating a state based on user input. You generally never want to be in a place where you do things in a sequence, and can't edit previous steps without starting all over.

You also can't always have a logical model for what to include.

Usually GUIs are not general purpose like raw code is. You're not using a blank canvas to build another blank canvas, which is what most devs seem to like, you're building a curated workflow.

You might have "Edit this transaction" buttons and "Export report for the month" buttons. If you're used to thinking in logical layers that build on each other, you might not enjoy essentially recreating some illogical business process in code.

It seems like programmers are really code-philosophers and code is like a meditation for a lot of them, and they seem to get depressed and discouraged working on things that don't have any beauty or logic or reason and are just reflections of some messy illogical real world process full of extra stuff to deal with untrained users.
I remember Networks and Graphs were all the rage in the early/mid 2010s as everybody was trying to mimic the massive social media successes. This was a very famous book and the author well known during that period. Turns out not everything is a graph or social and lot of that enthusiasm went away.

Adjusted for US-wide inflation, rent in SF is down 30% (not a typo) since the end of 2019. They're down because there's more supply and less demand, so landlords can't fill vacancies.

Does anyone in the AI community openly discuss the interesting aspect of how Ted Kaczynski's manifesto was effectively what one could describe as 100% violently opposed to fundamentally exactly what AI is (becoming).

I wonder where these views fall within alignments and guard-rails as it were.

But, history has shown that Cults, regardless of which direction their beliefs are pointing, are never proven correct.

"The manifesto proposed a radical solution to address what Kaczynski perceived as the problems of technology. He advocated for a return to a more primitive and self-sufficient way of life, where individuals have direct control over their own destinies and are less reliant on complex technological systems."

A 300 baud modem was pretty simple actually, it was just a tone generator/decoder with digital controls. I think I used a simple PLL chip to decode the tones and probably 555 timers to generate tones. Anything faster than 300 baud was far more complex. I built it as a final project for an electronics class I was taking in like 1989 or something.

What are they? Show me the vulnerabilities you're talking about. I don't think I'm moving the goalposts here. The major distinction between Rust and (say) Java is Rust's type system formalisms to prevent in-process data race memory corruption. Those are real features, but they don't mitigate a major class of vulnerabilities.

Yes, and what I meant is if you drive a clunker into a new Mercedes, you are very much in an asymmetric situation in terms of "What happened?". Your clunker has extraordinarily little, in comparison to the Mercedes, and the sensors it requires to make Level 3 work (and which, presumably, log everything for collision situations and to determine who is at fault).

I'm sure there are many issues with GUIs. My main one is that lots of things can't be (easily) expressed in the API of common languages. For example you set the colour of something to red? Well, that thing renders in some specific way that calls a callback which in some cases will override the background, so setting the background colour will not do anything. You can't express that in objects, there's really no failure here beyond "you didn't consider every possible layer and combination of features". Yet, whenever I try to create some GUI, I run into an issue like that every few minutes.

> The median one-bedroom asking rent in San Francisco was $2,190 in November 2023

This number must be dragged down by rent-controlled. It seems too low. At apartments.com, there are 1777 listings for one bedroom apartments in SF. There are only 112 apartments listed for below $2200.

According to billionaire-owned media, the owner of which is owned by a trillionaire investor, you are a conspiracy theorist: both parties work for their constituents.

I did work on ranking at Meta. The vast majority of people really do not prefer the chronological feed. We validated this by extraordinarily high powered randomized trials, including with surveys. No more than 20% of people preferred a chronological feed in any experiment I saw.
It's down 16% in nominal terms. From the article:

"The city’s typical rent in November 2023 was 16.4% lower than the $2,620 in November 2019."

Can anyone running a Matrix server comment on memory usage? I’m not sure which implementations are popular, but surely it requires less than 1 GB of RAM for a single user…
Possible the numbers are wrong, but "asking rent" means the non-rent-controlled price, ie. what you would get if you rented one new today.
What incentive would there be for the employee to sign such an incredibly one sided contract when they could literally go to any other job?
"People say "just show the posts in chronological order," but this doesn't scale for humans reading it, especially as you follow more people."

That's just rationalizing a business decision. Nobody is saying there should be no algorithmic timeline. If it "doesn't scale" for my own timeline, that's 100% on me. Why take away the decision or "nudge" into the other direction?

If the algorithmic timeline really were THAT better, there would be zero need to remove the chronological option or "forget" when the user sets it as an option. People would just use it.

I think the attraction of Bayesianism is kind of philosophical / aesethetical, it is is principled and sound and beautiful approach. It's kinda nice that it kinda extends and translates occams razors into numbers.

Yes frequentist statistics work very well in practice, but it's a bit adhoc and suffers from various problems like say if you estimate velocity and estimate kinetic energy, you get values that are incompatible which is kinda ugly and non-intuitive and makes you want to dig deeper into how such a thing happened.

Bayesianism has the answers.

Also sometimes it really does matter like in medicine, where some conditions have a very low prior probability.
This is the danger of a two party system. They both have an incentive to disenfranchise voters, because our great loophole is that, a "no" vote actually does not count in any meaningful way.

So, if you can get 50% to 75% of the eligible population to not vote, then it becomes much easier to maintain power without actually having to take any responsibility for your actions.

It should be that if less than 50% of the eligible population turns out, the election is null, and needs to be re-run. We have a right to say "none of the above" and have it stick. The parties need to bear the costs of creating these terrible ballots and candidates that actually appeal to no one.

The difference is in predictability.

When you sign a 12 month lease, you know more or less how much you'll spend towards housing for the next year and it's easy to accurately predict a cost ceiling.

When you own a home, you know the minimum you'll spend is the mortgage+taxes but in an unlucky year your AC goes out and you get a hole in the roof that insurance doesn't cover and suddenly you've spent 20k that you didn't plan on.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but listing in apartments.com is not really the best dataset to look at, as its usually slightly nicer listings there. Have to combine with Craigslist at the very least where a lot of people look for cheaper places. That said, $2200 for 1bed still seems kinda low.

It's never caught on, but I have jokingly dubbed this management myopia. It's not a perfect analogy but there are seriously people who just assume anything they don't understand must be easy and are unable to see the truth.
This has always been a problem for me. Why do they always need to design a completely new car, when they could basically just slot in the battery and motors?

Manufacturers could make a $20000 electric car that is equal to an equivalent-costing existing gas car (like a Camry or Corolla) in terms of capability. Reuse most of the same parts and technology from the original, just make it electric. Consumers would lap it up, not to mention how much it would help the environment. And yet, they don't, for seemingly no reason.

To be fair, there are differences between ICE cars and EVs. The battery and motors go under the body, not in front of it. But I'm sure they could do it if they wanted to.

All we get are premium-level cars that are slowly coming down in price, when what we really need (to get normal people to switch to electric) is a Camry-level electric car that is Camry-level cheap.
People are opting out. I redirected my career away from a tech mega-corp for precisely the reason that eventually I'd have to relocate to the bay area to continue advancing. There's absolutely no way I'm doing that to my family.

Thoughts on how the vacant property tax will impact asking rents? My understanding is that it becomes effective Jan 1, 2024. Feels like it might encourage landlords to rent units at a rent they will begrudgingly accept to avoid the tax vs holding out for top dollar, but perhaps too early to tell.

https://sftreasurer.org/business/taxes-fees/empty-homes-tax-...
It was fully released, no? https://huggingface.co/datasets/OpenAssistant/oasst1
I think it’s something else. I was recently apartment hunting and most of the vacant apartments in the city are offering 1-3 months free but are keeping the overall rent high. Which brings down the annual rent to anywhere from 10-25% lower, but the monthly rent stays well over the median that’s being reported.
It sounds like the requirement is that they pay to give you the same salary until the non compete expires.
It's an intentionally misleading headline, just the media shaping the narrative as usual. "Telsa notifies owners an OTA update" doesn't make things seem nearly as bad.
If far more people were opting out, residential buildings would be empty, and rents would fall well below their pre-2020 level.

The fact that rents are still higher than that is pretty good evidence that a large number of people continue to opt in.
100% agreed. I've been developing deep neural networks for over 10 years and this is just surreal.

Housing prices can never fall. It’s by design
The rent will not go down in SF, owners would rather sit the apartments empty than to rent at a discount to keep the prices high. Or they offer a few months off, so the annual rent is lower but the monthly rent is high. All to ensure the SF rents stay high in the long run.
Interestingly if you read the actual report from HRW, it sounds like most of the material they are referring too was legitimately taken down because it supported violence, according to Meta's policies.

For example, the phrase "from the river to the see" is considered hateful by many, so it was taken down. In other cases the content praised attacks by Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organization by the US government.

From HRWs descriptions it sounds like the bulk of the "1049" content removals were clear violations of Meta's policies against support for violence.

Regardless of whether you agree, these don't seem surprising to me on light of Meta's own rules. There are of course a small number of exceptions listed.
Supporting Palestine is generally a left-wing view (proof: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2022/07/11/american-views...).

So Meta is censoring a mostly left-wing viewpoint.
