Obviously more than one person can occupy a housing unit (where each parking space can accomodate only one car), but this report from 2020[0] seems to indicate that LA has more than enough housing to accomodate its residents, it's just distributed unoptimally.

It seems somewhat obvious that you may need more parking spaces than cars since they move to different places throughout the day.

A dev is going to include UI to manage the settings if non-technical users are expected to modify them. Whether those settings go in an INI or the registry doesn't matter at all for that UI.

Having said, that level of technical skill req'd to edit an INI or the registry is about the same. Either way you're talking about a non-technical user descending thru a hierarchy of strange-to-them named containers to get to an arcane-looking location where settings are saved.

The user is going to call me when they have problems. It's easier for everybody if I can just administer the software centrally so they don't have problems to begin with.
Fat citation needed on RAG being expensive. Most embeddings models these days are smaller than most LLM models, and run more cheaply and more effectively than the ones provided by OpenAI.

If you mean that increasing token counts in expensive, I suppose sure - but the retrieval side itself is not the cost center in general.
> "Let's pay 3x as much for rent [and other things that more expensive with density] to save $300/mo on a car payment"

You must have one of those magical cars that runs on air, never needs to be filled up, never needs to be taxed, never needs to be insured and never breaks down. Wish I could have one of those cars.

In the meantime I’ll settle for using my feet and my bike. Never needed to fill them up with fuel, pay insurance, or tax. And my feet, at least, have never broken down.
It's interesting how hardware companies try and move into services as soon as their margins are squeezed. Very few of them succeed at this.
Total aside, yet had no idea what cell-site simulators were. Why is simulating cell phones an issue? Turns out "mobile cell phone interceptors". [1]

[1] https://www.eff.org/pages/cell-site-simulatorsimsi-catchers

University of Washington actually has a neat project where they drove around Seattle and Milwaukee to try and do International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)-Interceptor detection. Basically, find cars or buildings with mobile towers that intercept and redirect your cell signal through a man-in-the-middle observation. [2] Notably, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services building (USCIS) apparently operates one. The pictures are rather pretty.

> When most people need something, and there is suddenly a much smaller supply of that thing

Yes. We have rising, elastic house and stable, inelastic paid parking prices [1[2]]. Due to these regulations, we cannot substitute limited space away from off-street parking towards e.g. housing.

If everyone needs to have a car to get around that's 3 parking spaces per person. Or 6-12 parking spaces per household.

This is nearing the square footage of an apartment to house the same number of people. So for any given unit of housing real estate we need an equivalent or greater amount of parking real estate.

When everyone wants to live close together (ie in LA near where they work, socialize, etc. not in middle of Nebraska) that puts a real pressure on space, and drives up the cost for real estate.

Even if you want to increase density by building higher buildings, the cost of those condo/apartment towers now must factor in a parking garage pedestal taking up 1/3 of its height, and so must offices, shopping centers, etc.

I don't think the ratio of parking spaces per car needs to be reduced. Rather it needs to be recognized, and thus reveal the cost of policies that lead to one car per person. If you can reduce the cars per person ratio, you reduce the number of parking spaces required at a 3x rate.

I'm not learning v1. I'm complaining about the constant deprecation of things that already worked. If it's working, why change it?

I get that major transitions are difficult, but there are also numerous small deprecations. Nov. 2023 was 2-3 months ago. Yet, code written then throws deprecation warnings now...
A good character building experience then, for free - try all of ya putting down phone for an hour a day. Next time even 2. Everybody knows the trivial steps leading to it, but will bullshit around it for 2 hours just to avoid it. Brave ones block the app. But real hardcore mode is simply uninstalling given app.

What Tears of the Kingdom Is Like for Someone Who Doesn't Play Games
But in dense grasslands and heavy forests the soil benefits from the sun, in that as the grasses and trees go through their lifecycles they reintroduce nutrients to the soil in the form of falling leaves/needles and death and decomposition. Grasslands and dense forests are also teaming with life, big and small, that nurture the environment. Is there really any doubt that if we cover massive swaths of land in solar panels the soil will become useless? I have not seen more than a few firsthand, but the earth under the large solar complexes I have seen is mud or dust.

Not just higher profits, but if you are self-published or have no reviews yet then your book is usually on the 400th page on anyone's search.

I have still told nobody I know about my book, it's kind of an experiment, because it would be easy for me to email blast everyone I know to like it, but I really want people to read it without pre-conception and so far no sales, even though it is free! (or 0.99 cents on Amazon as that's Amazon)
So you want to arm twist people to suit your agenda? It does not work this way. Personally I aways support and would vote for more public transport but not by forcing me to abandon my car. If that is the approach the only vote you'll get from me is fuck you. And I am a nicer guy who mostly uses EUC, bike and feet.
I learned Pascal and MODULA-2 in college, in my first two programming semesters. MODULA-2 was removed shortly afterwards but Pascal is still used in the introductory programming course. I'm very happy to have had these as the languages that introduced me to programming and Wirth occupies a very special place in my heart. His designs were truly ahead of their time.
The problem comes when you take the incentives that are supposed to make the cars less expensive and you use them instead to sell people more expensive cars. Turns out that pushing people to the limit of their ability to borrow is not a solid long-term business strategy. Gee who would have thought?

Guess who still knows how to build inexpensive cars?

On a related note, I appreciate the ability to specifically disable JavaScript JIT in GrapheneOS' browser, Vanadium. Theoretically, it's a nice balance of maintaining site compatibility (as opposed to disabling JS entirely) and reducing one's attack surface.
Not always. For example: oregon doesn't have battery, it is all assault. Just varies in degree (4th->1st).
I very much doubt it'd be a problem. OpenAI's valuation is such a large multiple of NYT that they can afford to buy out a dozen or so publishers of NYT's valuation to get content to replace (or "just" license content from far more) if NYT itself isn't willing to play ball cheaply enough.

The NYT might be better than average, but it's not so special that you can't replace it.

The long-term effect if NYT wins this case will be that the "established" players and companies with deep pockets will get a massive moat protecting them against open models and new entrants - in the long run it might well be well worth whatever a loss will cost them.

> When most people need something, and there is suddenly a much smaller supply of that thing, prices for the now scarce but still needed thing tend to increase.

No one is arguing against the idea that eliminating parking requirements increases (in short-run, first-order analysis) the market clearing price of parking spaces.

The contentious part is that the presence of the freedom to build housing without parking requirements (enabling, e.g., housing plus commercial spaces to be built in a space that would otherwise have the same housing plus parking) does nothing to reduce the demand for autos.
I yearn for American cities to discover what London has.

The city's mass-transit is intensely effective, and if you have to grab a car from point A to point B, there's never a taxi far away. It turns out if you don't have parking, a professional driver class can afford to make a living on being ever-moving luxury transit for people (and I bet most cities can rought-out a mass transit solution with a clever combination of buses and closing roads to cars / replacing them with delivery-only vehicle access, otherwise open-walkable).
I was at the session he did at CERN back in 2004, but sadly never managed to talk to him.
The ratio that's the problem here is cars per person, not directly parking spaces per car.

Now reducing parking spaces per car might put pressure to reduce cars per person, or implement alternatives to allow fewer cars per person, which would actually improve land usage.
Pydantic's v1 to v2 was due to a full rewrite/port to Rust. Lots of depreciations are expected in that instance, and it's not common for a popular library and will likely not happen again.

Deprecations are healthy, otherwise you get technical debt which harms development.
Initially I thought this was a bit of a silly take, but then I thought about that MBP I had with a touchbar, no escape key, stupid arrow keys that you couldn't use by feel, and a keyboard where the keys regularly got stuck or fell off.
I really don't. I'm not even sure what kind of person would have a conflict of interest while supporting that we keep the requirement until actual alternatives are available to everyone.

While I have a car, and enjoy having one, and have a nice parking space in a heated underground garage, I also work remotely and don't drive all that much. I'm in a privileged position and could afford to uber (within the city anyway).

This is just a bad/non-solution to a very real problem that will do more harm than good.
You're confusing correlation with causation. Immigrants are more likely to go where there are jobs.
There are always some cars being driven at any given time, so you could technically get away with even fewer spaces than cars. But the fewer spaces you have the less likely the available ones are near your destination.
Could it be that a significant portion of the passengers were evacuated quickly, but the last few might have taken a while? I assume someone with reduced mobility/requiring a wheelchair will take a while to evacuate. And if there are more of them than flight attendants, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes that long.
> Shutdown a courthouse or government building or something instead, I guess is my point.

That's reasonable, but you also know that you can always come up with a justification for why this protest in particular was unacceptable.

Shutdown a courthouse? You're ruining people's weddings, you're preventing trials right before the statute of limitations expires, you're keeping people in jail for longer than they had to otherwise and then what if they commit suicide because jail is so bad?

People (justifiably) really hate being inconvenienced, but that's also kind of the point of this kind of protest.
You don't start by building public transit. You start by bulldozing roads and housing and moving/rebuilding communities.
Yes and everyone has a pot with endless gold.
Downloading a 50MB WASM blob to run an emulator to boot a Linux kernel and then start an HTTP server to handle a single request is utter madness, which is probably why this will become popular to do.
What if Microsoft limited these APIs to programs with "Compatibility Mode" enabled? (And—this may already be the case, I'm not sure—made it impossible to enable compatibility mode programmatically?)

I feel like this would create a strong incentive for modern software to do things "properly", while still allowing legacy software to run (albeit with a couple of extra clicks).
Beautiful interface.

> Women who are a 6+ now know that most men would sleep with them.

Women who are a solid 6 think that they are a solid 8 (assuming an even distribution in attractiveness from 1 - 10). This is because, as you said, they know (not suspect) that most men would sleep with them, so in their mind, if 80% of men find them good enough to sleep with, then they're an 8/10.

Even women in the 4 and below category are constantly having to decline male propositions, hence they overrate their desirability, not realising that 8/10 horny males would rather have sex with a women who's a 3 or a 2 than no sex at all.
What you are describing is basically subsidies.
Taiwan lowered the capital cost of TSMC thus made them more competitive than their competitors.

The Chinese did much of the same with their tech sector especially Huawei if I remember correctly with gigantic tax breaks and cheap financing.
You're welcome or I'm sorry, depending on where you are
Impact fees on new developments are already a thing to pay for other infrastructure improvements like sewer, utilities, roads, and parks. No reason it couldn't be extended to transit as well.
Erm, you realise that before the “modern city”, every urban area was small and walkable, on account of the car not being invented.

The “modern city” or at least the US’s version of a “modern city” is the first time humans have ever lived so far apart at such scale. Enabled only because the car has conditioned so many people to think that driving 30mins to get anywhere interesting is “normal” or “natural”.
What is the law of engineering that causes an abundance of complexity?

There's some entropy law of abstraction that is the opposite of Occam's razor: take a simple idea and embellish it until it is sophistimicated enough to require total reengineering to decomplexify it.
> Nobody is really space constrained.

Clearly the answer is no then.

That doesn't make space-constrained Austin's answer an automatic yes either though. The city is very car-dependent. The starting point isn't "take away peoples' ability to have a car". It should be "make it more attractive not to have a car".

Changing parking minimums comes far down that road.
It’s not very icy, with an average high above freezing year round. That’s warmer winter conditions than a lot of the US. Greenland, Alaska, Canada, Siberia, Finland, Mongolia, Svalbard, Norway… there’s a pretty long list of inhabited places that are colder than Iceland.
LA has extremely dysfunctional housing policy. A wave of immigration does nothing but increase demand for housing and drive up prices on rather limited stock. It has not lead to an increase in housing stock or better commercial districts. Adding more people who don't really speak the language laws are written in doesn't change the laws that prevent you from building vibrant cities.

There is very little mixed use. Majority of the city is zoned single family. The only reason there are no parking minimums is because the California changed that law. It has nothing to do with expanded immigration. LA, despite the immigration, is in massive need of a zoning overhaul to build a vibrant city. Very little is walkable, it is very car-centric, and the zoning is the strong opposition to all of this.
The Huawei Mate 60 uses it which is definitely a massively produced device.

It uses DUV rather than EUV, thus it theoretically require many more steps and thus lead to lower yields.

Not everybody needs to live in big cities, the calm you like so much can be obtained outside instantly, any day, every day.

Plus sometimes when actually having a life maybe other days are fully taken doing something important, so its nice to have it as an option. The societies that have Sunday shopping that I ever visited didn't experience any kind of shopping frenzy during it, everything is scaled down, some shops are opened shortly, some are not at all (or some close on Monday instead).

That is all said as an European who knows very well what you mean, from various angles

Perhaps it helps that C was my first exposure? As it conceptualizes memory as an array, a pointer was naturally conceptualized as an array index. There was no real novelty in that.

But maybe we're talking more abstractly, outside of computing? I watched my children start to learn about lists and indices around the age of four to five. Presumably the story was similar for me. If there was a mind-blowing experience at that time, it is true that I have forgotten about it (along with most other things that happened back then).
In professional game creation (trying to avoid the two "D" words you used here) the two are intertwined. You need to iterate on design, and to do that you need to develop. Basically no professional game comes out as it was originally envisioned, and oftentimes a nearly complete version is tossed out because it just sucks too much.
Ah, no, that actually sounds very nice. The US has a situation where an employer sort of pays some extra taxes for you (social "security" and maybe another one), so if you're self-employed you have to pay that part yourself.
The phrases actively harmful and considered harmful in tech writing have become hyperbolic and should be retired. They no longer mean anything.

It would make sense if suboptimal or another word was used instead. But it wasn't and the end result makes it appear as though there is a harmful risk when in fact there is none.
This is an area where "solvers" are heavily under utilized. For the absolute fastest solution, bespoke implementations are almost certainly required.

However, translating Sudoku and N-Queens into a similar problem that you can feed into a solver can get you a long way. Even better, you can move that solver into whatever language gives you the best optimizations that you can work. Even better, there are almost certainly optimizations in common solvers that you don't want to deal with implementing on your on.
