It really had little to do with who moved in - although to be sure people certainly wouldn't sell to certain types of people in certain places. Properties were rated by their quality and their potential of being renovated and kept up - that's what red lining actually was. I've read through red lining documents and they mentioned all types of ethnic groups on the side, but the main consideration was the quality of the properties and if the area would sustain or decline due to the ability of current and future owners to renovate the structures.

Many properties in areas that were claimed to be "block busted" by revisionists were of low build quality to begin with were aging out and were unlikely to be revitalized by whoever lived there in the future. As I mentioned, because of the depression and WW2 there were not many new things being built and the existing stock in many of these areas was already low quality to begin with and had gone decades without much investment. Therefore the demand was low for these properties and lower class people were the market for them. So the neighborhood began to change and more crime was brought into these places which only accelerated the plummeting of values.

People act like an area of affluent people living in high quality homes all ran for the hills as soon as a black family moved in and the prices plummeted. No, it was places like the south side of Chicago which were always working class and full of small, cramped living places. Building huge housing project towers in these areas didn't help either, nor did the highway systems that cut through these areas. But people got out because the living conditions sucked compared to what was available in the new suburbs being built. Not to mentioned, jobs were moving out of cities because business could expand to new locations that were safer and not cramped.

Did race play role? Sure. As did class to a greater extent. But the narrative you hear and accepted as fact just doesn't reflect the total reality.
This is why I run passwordless on my most high value/important services and use my password manager to hold passwords for all the end point services like ebay and other low / risk low expectations sites.

Material design came out right at the very beginning when this "hipsterism" started happening. Then everyone started copying it. I absolutely hated it, and still do to this very day, with so much passion.

It is the worst user interface design I have ever been forced to use in my life. It's like they designed it for children or something. And from then it spread to general Web design and to software including GNOME, with GTK3 and the Adwaita theme. Suddenly everything became low contrast and low density, with oversized buttons and excessive whitespace.

It's a great time to be alive if you're into that aesthetic.

Personally, I'm not. And I find these spaces noisy and uncomfortable to be in, with their concrete floors and lack of any soft furnishings.

I miss the grungy cafes with couches and armchairs and rugs and wall hangings collected from wherever.
No. "Hipster" was mostly a millennial youth thing, there's still recognizable bits around but the culture moved on. Especially from the word "hipster". Peaked around 2012. There are still kids who try too hard to be unique, quirky, and authentic in a way that makes them all do the same stuff... but it's a different vibe than a decade ago.

Look, a graph!:

In some cases, the fact in base-10 has analogous facts in other bases. A trivial example that adding N-1 to any base-N number yields a value with the same digit sum. That makes it a bit more interesting. But I can't think of an example that doesn't pivot on the representation rather than something more fundamental.
This line of thought completely discounts the value of difference, though.

The idea that a single structure works well for everybody assumes everybody values things equally. And usually, above a certain baseline, that's not true. I mean, yes, nobody wants burnt coffee and dirty tables. We can agree there.

But the question is, what can you build on top of that. And I think there's room for differentiation, even at a very local level.

As a simple example: I will never want a hyper-efficient coffee store that has my order ready the moment I come in. I want a more lengthy engagement with the staff - i.e. I like to chat. Others might want instant service and as little human contact as possible. Neither one is an optimal experience for the customer who doesn't seek that specific experience

The idea that there is a single global maximum is fundamentally broken.

OK, but on the other hand I've heard from someone who worked at a startup that unnecessarily chose NextJS despite no requirement, and it really held back the organization for the rest of its existence, limiting velocity.

A map module would be greatly appreciated by me.
Imagine the first bank where a monthly job took a roomful of smoking people took four days complete with calculators. In comes IBM and says "we can sell you a machine that does this in five minutes". Sure it'll weigh a ton and cost a fortune, but you'll see it's worth it. So they buy it.

The machine performs half of 12 boring jobs at the bank needed every month. But there is still another half dozen jobs the IBM still cannot do. It doesn't have the punch cards. So the roomful of smokers does the rest of the jobs in a couple of weeks, ready just in time to start over with next months tasks.

Should IBM make the machine or its programs twice as fast, or have twice as many features, even if the programs are half as fast? They should double the amount of features. And double it again, and again, and again...
The ids for the actions are not secret. Everyone knows them. I can go on wowhead.com right now and tell you the spell ID for any ability in the game. If I want to cast Fireball it’s spell id 133 https://www.wowhead.com/spell=133/fireball

It’s right there in the URL, even.

The whole point was predicting the next result of random call so that it could be used to smuggle in data. He just called random until the next value was one he wanted.

The secure context did not have access to the information necessary to make a good decision. However you could call random and get a number back, so if you could predict the next value then you can call it from the insecure context until the next value matches the data you want to send, then you pass control to the secure context where it calls random and assumes the the return value is the id to cast or lookup in a table for the actual id.

If the return value range of random() includes 133, then no mapping is necessary. If it doesn’t, then you just hard code a mapping in the secure context function that is keyed with values it can return. It makes no difference either way.

>The government prefers W2 workers because their taxes are automatically withheld by their employer,

There is no guarantee that the tax withheld will actually be enough to cover the actual tax liability, so that is an unsupported claim.

>accidental avoidance, like when a worker fails to save money for taxes

Nothing "accidental" about it, at least not after the first year. Then it is cheating where the taxpayer hopes to take advantage of generous forgiveness or delay programs built into the system (such as Offer in Compromise) hoping to eventually run out the statute of limitations clock.

>a citizenry of 1099 workers poses a threat to government power, because the citizens can collectively choose to withhold their taxes.

Again, a completely unsupported claim. First, millions already do evade taxes and it has not yet reduced government power. The government can print and/or borrow money longer than the tax cheats can withstand it. The government can file liens against property and levy other payments to get the money from most places where the tax cheats try to hide it. The government can also require those who pay independent contractors to withhold on those payments (similar to employers), in addition of course to the mandatory reporting of such payments.

Also, those who prefer being employees (because that is almost always a better deal for the worker - for example, unemployment insurance, minimum wage, paid sick leave) would probably object to their fellow citizens, working as ICs, cheating on a massive scale.

My examples weren't arbitrary, they were made for specific reasons. I selected bees because the article and my OP was about bees, and I selected dogs because I was asked about dogs.

I don't think a hive is self aware for the same reasons as the bee. It acts conditionally but does not create new logic models of the world.

As for the cells, I think they closer to complex alarm clocks than the bees, and are not self aware for the same reason.

I think my logic is consistent.

> If the citizens of the world can understand and appreciate each other through design, what else might they understand and appreciate about each other.

While I don't discount the utopian sentiment behind this, it elides the fact that it is not all citizens of parts of the world understanding each other, but rather specific subsegments of the same. So while young, well-educated, white collar urban professionals might grok each other's vibe, that is immaterial even as we head into what seems to be a new era of nationalism and tribal competition.
At first I was angry when I had to switch to HID barcode readers because I couldn't get an app to do it well, but in the end I was very happy I did it because the ergonomics of a barcode reader are so much better than with a phone or webcam. Not just the mounting options available but also the projected red laser making things reflex-easy.

Has that been a part of your project yet? I ask because I can't easily imagine any situation where the workers would be more efficient or happier using a phone/webcam/etc to do the scannings

Ask HN: Are many user interfaces deliberately bad?
AWS is very difficult to navigate and has a lot of friction that feels unnecessary. However, when compilating means by which any of its issues can be "fixed", I realize a lot of its problems may serve to increase profits in the long run. The friction that makes it hard to use also maximizes unnecessary overuse of its services and minimizes ease of de-integrating from its "ecosystem".

Is this true for a lot of user interfaces? Are many of them that seem slapdash actually genius-level traps that inch on every possible edge case and incremental value capture?

Interesting, I wonder if there's a similar approach that can be taken for complex tasks in the "multimodal" virtual environment of a computer desktop or phone, working across/between multiple applications and web pages with various inputs and interactions. Taking a more general approach that might be closer to how humans work then ACT-1 and the like.

So knowing what's the optimal kind and amount would help me stabilize or even recover.

Becaues Clascal/Object Pascal had an enormous number of non-standard extensions to make it a much more system and apps oriented language than the 1973 version. I believe Bill Atkinson was involved in the decision. Same story with TurboPascal and Delphi.

Walter's complaint is partially that it needed extensions to do anything non-educational on 1973 hardware. This is true, but to me is vaguely non-sensical, as it clearly had not been designed for that and was labelled as such.
A problem which has made the news repeatedly is services where an e.g. password reset doesn't reset / invalidate the session key.

It's just a traced vector of a bear. Again, as someone who is familiar with this process, if we were just going to steal something, we would have put a bit of effort into not looking stolen.

Even an amazing designer can't make a silhouette of a bear from memory and he probably didn't take the photo himself. So he surely stole from something else too.
This is very similar to how Intuitive Surgicals Da Vinci, and many surgical robotics systems work.
nice, I've been looking for something like this! A few notes / wishlist items:

* Looks like for gpt-4 turbo (https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/gpt-4-turbo-1106-previe...), there was a huge latency spike on December 28, which is causing the avg. latency to be very high. Perhaps dropping top and bottom 10% of requests will help with avg (or switch over to median + include variance)

* Adding latency variance would be truly awesome, I've run into issues with some LLM API providers where they've had incredibly high variance, but I haven't seen concrete data across providers

> This seems like a strange criticism to me

On the contrary, I think it is very natural. The environment changed, and thus the deal. There's no clear way to negotiate the terms of the deal. It may be easy to say to just drop off the platform, but we've seen how difficult it can be to destroy a social media platform. Sure, Myspace and Google+ failed, but they didn't have the network base that Facebook and Twitter do which have also fallen into this trap (I'd even add Amazon here for the more general context. Certainly none of these companies are optimizing for the public because there's difference between who their customers are and the public). Network effects are powerful.

So I see complaints like these as attempts to alter the deal and start a coalition. The deal was changed under them, so why do they not have a right to attempt to negotiate? It is quite clear that there is a very large power differential. It's quite clear that unless you're exceptionally famous (which means the alteration is less impactful) that abandoning the platform comes at risking your entire livelihood unless you can garner a large enough coalition. It's like quitting a shitty job without a new job and not knowing who would hire you. Most people are going to stick around and complain __while__ looking for a way out.

Having worked at a few places with international clients, I can tell you that nobody in their right mind would sue someone located overseas if they can help it.

A few year ago international lawyers were charging about 400/hr for contract review services. Actually filing a lawsuit would be prohibitively expensive for a client unless the amounts in question were super-large (probably around 1m or more).

International agreements for small companies are really a show of good faith. In reality it's money-up-front and be prepared to turn down the service on non-payment.

Such an excellent context to put this in. Even just thinking more broadly about the unimaginably long stretches of relative stability / homogeneity in ancient and prehistoric cultures. The Old / Middle / New Kingdoms (c. 2,700-1,100 BCE), Aurignacian (c. 60,000-24,000 BCE) and Gravettian culture (c. 30,000-15,000 BCE) come to mind but the examples are basically endless.
GPT4 is the only one I've used much but it really can be good as a Google alternative for certain kinds of questions.

(Asking for sources does help this sometimes though.)
