That's specifically not what nuisance basis means. That's exclusionary zoning, and the co-morbid NIMBY-ism.

In a nuisance basis zoning system, an area would not be zoned like that, a business would only be forbidden if it exceeded the nuisance level for the zone.

So in most areas, small stores and restaurants are allowed, because they are low-nuisance businesses. Even in very low nuisance areas, businesses traditionally run out of homes (e.g. very small offices, some forms of medical services, small shops, very small convenience stores / corner shops) could not be forbidden.

Commercial zoning would be for "disruptive" commerces due to traffic, noise, space requirements, sight, ...

Amnesia caused by head injury reversed in early mouse study
It's challenging because good architects (ones you've heard of!) weren't necessarily qualified as architects, but the person designing the thing doesn't need to be the one deciding if it's structurally sound

You do need that validation step somewhere, though, and it feels quite reasonable to have stringent standards for that.

One way to work around not knowing if something is structurally sound subject to the pressures it will be under is to over build (this is what we did before we had super accurate computer simulations)

> How difficult would it be for Tesla to implement ANPR and upload every number plate spotted together with GPS coordinates, to a central server?

Realistically, probably not hard at all. Car already has "enough" (debatable) processing power to run FSD on it, and afaik ANPR would be a much lighter load than that. Built in cell connectivity that you can't kill without some hardware work is another aspect.
The way to think about Leibniz notation is that there's a manifold M, and all the quantities f,g,x,y… are functions from M to the reals. Then you can talk about the derivative of any of these quantities with respect to any of the others, without thinking of any of them as the arguments of any of the others.

I mostly listen to long-tail artists, so if I were to pick one at random, it would probably be in the 80-99.9th percentile group. (Assuming 80% of Spotify's catalog is spam -- that could be, but I don't use Spotify, and have never encountered spam any of their competitors).

This would pull some revenue away from the > 99.9th percentile artists, but that's OK with me.

I'm more worried that, even if we count jobs that are way below minimum wage, Spotify is only supporting 15K bands worldwide. That rounds to zero when compared to their listener base and their revenue.

Anyway, I pay more than just a streaming subscription annually, but I went with an estimate of what's going into just Spotify for my calculations. I'm not convinced there'd be much societal impact (in terms of artists not being paid) if they disappeared tomorrow.
I've used it since 2008 or 2009.

You're not wrong. Their constant changes and removing features the last few years is frustrating. They just did that big recent UI update, I've barely used spotify since they did it so I can't tell if I like it or hate it yet but they constantly change it. It looks like it's missing things now but I'm not too sure.
Linus is awesome, I have really enjoyed a lot of his projects. Great nerd vibe in the most relatable way!
This submission shows that it's not about convenience. Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music are all incredibly convenient. They range from free with ads to very affordable monthly subscriptions (the price of a single CD for unlimited music for a month). They have vast libraries with more music of all styles than anyone could listen to in a lifetime with, as far as I can tell, effectively no geo restrictions.

And despite that, look at where we are. A "pirate your music for free" app with 400 upvotes is at the top of HN, with some posters pretty much writing fanfic about how this will be great for the artists. "It's just a service problem" my ass. It's about people wanting something for free, and taking it.

> Musk doesn't design or build the rockets. It's fascinating to see SpaceX succeed while Twitter fails, because the former has management in place to keep things on the rails, while the latter has Musk unchecked.

This is just factually wrong.

Musk has been leading and controlling SpaceX for literally 20 years now. He has always been in full control and made pretty much all the most important decisions. He hired and recruited all of the leadership team. And he did work on the design and and helped build the rocket too. Since when is leading a team not important? Those are simple facts. Go read about about Falcon 1.

Its Twitter where Musk only recently started on, and Twitter had lots of issues before Musk took over, and Twitter where he has put a CEO in place.

So the fact is, Musk is far more deeply involved in SpaceX compared to Twitter. The same for Tesla, Musk has just as much power there and its also very successful.

The whole 'its all fund raising and government' doesn't actually hold up either.

> Apple actually delivered

Being the most successful space company in history. Having the most rocket launches, the biggest rocket, the most reliable engine, the most advanced engine, the most sats and the most launched human isn't good enough for you? Hasn't even deliver on the most complex project in human history. What a loser.

Granted its not exactly as complex as having a computer with a nice user-interface ...

> while Musk is live-tweeting his unraveling.

Musk is fine, he lives on, he does the same things he has been doing for 20+ years, SpaceX and Tesla continue to do fine and he is continuing to lead them. Twitter, exists and works fine. If that is 'unraveling' then I don't think you know what that words means.

All that has actually happened because of this 'unraveling' is that Twitter lost some of its value. Not ideal but also not really a big deal either.

Essentially calling somebody mentally ill because you don't like how they handle a company is really is more a reflection on you not Musk.
Never heard of this distinction between parameter and argument, to me they are homonymes. To me, argument or parameter refers to a term in the function definition as well as a term in the function call.

I find that the filtering on diskprices.com works way faster than the typical search filters on Newegg, Canada Computers, and pretty much every e-commerce site I've ever used.

Disk Prices is definitely respecting my user experience by being snappy and not wasting CPU cycles and network round trips.
Reddit itself is monetized, but the people writing the review or suggesting products most likely weren't paid to recommend stuff. Not that there aren't paid shills on reddit, but as long as your BS meter is decent, a quick peek at the poster's profile can confirm whether the suggestions are legit.

It's a bit of work to weed out real testimonies but if you can collect a bunch of reviews and use your own judgement as a final filter. I think that's better than just clicking any of the "Top 10 <product>" sites that google shows on the first page.

No, they have always been the party of the elite. They pander to the "bread and circuses" crowd because they'd never get elected otherwise.

The ingress into politics has a vicious filter that works against working class people. I've been in the Labour Party and seen it in action. The tories have a native contempt for them too. It is a pretty grim thing that only the left most constituencies choose to field candidates whose lives are recognisable to the average person: Nadia Whittome is a great example of that.

Thank you for your response! If/when you do try it, you're welcome to join us on Discord and share your insights.

The use case you describe is a prominent one. I used to write ad-hoc static analysis programs to get at this information, and every time you do this, there's a lot you have to "relearn"; whether it's changes in the spec, or all the AST patterns you need to account for, etc. Burdensome and prone to error, but necessary and ultimately very useful.

And in other cases, using a RegExp search could yield thousands of results, more than a human can handle, and you might not be able to narrow them down without fear of missing positives. In both cases, an AST search comes very handy. And now it can be done very quickly too!
Bard is better than GPT3.5 (ChatGPT free) and, IMHO, worse than GPT4 (ChatGPT paid).

I find the ChatGPT's interface much better. Bard is really barebones and heavy. Now with GPT store and whatnot, OpenAI is not making it easy for Google at all.

I mean small relative to big artists, not small in absolute numbers. If you have less than 1k streams you probably have less than 50 listeners which is basically nothing.

A (relatively) small audience would be made up of tens of thousands of listeners generating millions of streams. There are many, many independent artists that fall into this group.

I agree that it’s pretty intuitive if you’re used to it, but we also all know how users won’t read basically any text pit in front of them.

Think about what incentives do you have to live - it may sound rough but pain and ultimately death are the ultimate things everyone is trying to avoid.

Intelligence emerges as you are trying to survive longer. Reproduction is the ultimate way of cheating death.

Environment does not necessarily needs to mean physical environment, but until the "AI" does not recognize that it is in danger of nonexisting and starts to behave in ways to avoid it it cannot, imho, make the leap to AGI and it's just a really sophisticated tool.
In UK if you want cheap and decent and sometimes even good quality go for Polish furniture. There's a Polish couch warehouse in Edgware where you can take a look if you fancy anything. We bought a Polish couch for £1.2k. It's amazing. It converts to a bed, it has nice head rests that are movable, etc. They come and assemble.
Because if everyone did what you did, the artists wouldn't make any money. And a lot of people already to pirate. I couldn't tell you what percentage of people pirate vs stream but at what point does the scale tip to the other side where piracy is actually causing a hugely negative affect to the artists income?

You, and we, don't know if you're the 10,000th or the 100,000,000th pirate of whatever you pirate.
> Even Gaza and Afghanistan have not been cursed for this long

That doesn't makes much sense. Also, it hardly fits the definition of a "failed state", the current authoritarian (verging on totalitarian) Russian government has been pretty effective at maintaining political stability and had (and generally still has) very effective control over its people (more so than successful democratic, not that it's really comparable) over the last 20 years.

The same applied to the USSR during most of its history.
Back in the day this stuff was recognised. In 1983 Labour's manifesto pledged to abolish the secret services and that was part of the reasoning.

The stress when it’s in-session is pretty bad, though. And a lot of teachers work a summer job to make ends meet, it’s often not time off.

The summers off are basically the only notable perk, too. At least in my state. Healthcare’s expensive and bad and gets worse every year. Pay’s bad. Work environment is usually bad. Retirement’s ok-ish but doesn’t close the gap on the poor pay.

I've contacted Nintendo on the phone three times in the past and have received three full refunds for digital purchases and every time they said it was a one time thing, so that part is just a script the phone agent is required to say.

> You are 100% correct about AI today, however, I feel people are way too fast at making a final assessment of what AI can and cannot do as if it was set in stone.

OpenAI is valued at $100b or something and given the hype I would have thought that it would have solved basic knowledge economy things like spreadsheet analysis, something that millions of well-compensated people are currently employed to do.

Why is there no "AI Excel" that can take a 1GB CSV and answer questions that are one step more complex than Pivot Tables?

As a business user, I don't care about AI that pretends to 'talk' like a human and 'draws' pictures. I need it to be able to do the work of a securities analyst.
> If we want to decrease our impact on the environment we need to stop using so much energy and so many resources, period.

That is fundamentally false. Energy austerity is the road to poverty and more environmental damage. Not to mention war.

> Chasing the next miracle cure

Nobody is claiming any miracles.

> we can easily run down that path picking up all the ecological damage of lithium mining and new manufacturing only to find that there are new problems and we're not much better off, we simply have different problems and a similar level if environmental damage as if had we stayed on the original path.

Sure, but we can also do basic research on the subject. Then make reasonable choices about that. And that's what happened.

Lithium mining is not nearly the problem some of the propaganda suggest. At worsts its like other mining. Mostly its better. The total lithium amount needed is tiny even if you think all cars are going to be lithium batteries.

Lithium mining is a drop in the bucked compared to iron and friends.

> I also hope we don't stick to a consistent growth of 2-3% in annual energy consumption, its no coincidence that number matches GDP targets and its unsustainable.

Its not unsustainable actually.

What you are really arguing actually is 'why should people in India and China be rich, it would be much better if they were poor'.

Are you gone determine what is 'rich enough' and when people should stop? Is Europe to rich already?

Are you gone tell poor Americans 'sorry, you can't use more energy'.

Energy poverty isn't the solution to anything.

All good—this difference is why it always turns into a war of anecdotes.

Homeschool outcomes are as diverse as parents are—in public schools we at least try to standardize, but not so for homeschool. And since emotions surrounding our parents are some of the strongest that we have, everyone who's been homeschooled has strong opinions of some sort about how it turned out.

I'd be happy for the conversation to happen if there were data, but the big problem is that for every study that leans one way there's another that goes the opposite, because the outcomes are so incredibly diverse and the numbers involved are so small.

It drives movie and concert ticket sales. It could do more and we should fix that.

Do you also fail to see how investment in technology that prevents certain groups from getting certain information harms everyone tomorrow? It's not like they'd have retool completely if they pivoted from censoring Finding Nemo because you're the wrong kind of customer to censoring political dissent because you're the wrong kind of citizen. The tech from the former can be reused in the latter and there's more money in the latter.

That pivot hasn't happened yet because the DRM hooks aren't in deeply enough. People would work around it. Piracy helps because it creates a space for us to fight back against that sort of thing. It keeps the set of people who can circumvent censorship large and it keeps them in practice.

At the end of the day, protecting an artist paycheck is just not as important as protecting user freedom. We can have both, but paying the streaming platforms and hoping they spend that money wisely is not the way to get there.
I tracked down a hit and run versus my Tesla with the videos on the in-cabin USB stick. My phone alerted me that the alarm went off. I went out to my car, saw the damage, grabbed the USB stick, and sent the video to my employer so they could find the coworker that did it and have them reach out to me.

Tesla also does let you do geofencing with Sentry mode, but I opted to have it running at work and off at home.

But none of this addresses the violation of trust that comes with a company having shitty internal controls and shitty auditing on users' data. The US desperately needs a law that makes it clear that user data is owned by users and our rights can't be waived away.
