it's a natural conclusion of the militarization of the police. The police gets a bunch of toys it doesn't need and then itches to use them on something.
It's not great, but things aren't always great and I've been through shitty years before. All of those things aren't really unique to Canada either, just some of them, particularly taken as a whole set. It's not true that there's no jobs at all, just that there's figuratively no jobs that I'd be capable of getting as a frontend developer in BC, but I'd probably prefer to try and develop trade skills or something than hope that there will always be a place for me in programming. It's also not true that there is literally no possibility of the other things, but a number of other factors would have to both be in place and be agreeable for me to pursue that.

For example, I don't really want to own a house to begin with, but if I did it would be a modest condo in or close to my current neighborhood where I've established myself, not some arbitrarily cheaper place where I'd get some bungalow and there'd be no jobs outside of trades anyway, not many people to re-establish a social life with, or would require a car, or a remote job that I don't have and wouldn't want to do from home in an isolated prairie town. These are just all factors in the system I'm in that don't serve anyone but people who already have quite a lot of money and want to make more by sitting on property. Until then, I'll eek by living in this studio basement suite owned by boomers, sharing rent with my partner, figuring out what the next move is. Maybe eventually I'll have to yield and bail, but I'll cross that bridge when I end up at zero (real zero, not zero + savings) again.

The systems have more or less been the same for many decades, and they've been getting pushed for at least the last one, just not everywhere all at once to their breaking point. They are slow, complex systems that require people to give up control usually, and that's unfortunate, but it is what it is.

I do keep hoping we get lucky in my lifetime and a massive, water bearing comet with slam into Mars and jumpstart the terraforming.

Watching a planet which could retain water go from "nothing to oceans" would be amazing.
This is the correct way to approach the note-taking vs. paying attention debate. Most of the students (including me in my early undergrad days) come to classes with blank slates. This forces your brain to be in panic mode when encountering new information from the lecturer by either jotting ferociously or not paying attention because, of course, the lecture slides will be posted in Google Drive later, after the lecture is done.

For engineering classes, I would rather invest the entire time in the class to focus, ask questions, and read the content from the textbooks if it's standard stuff covered there. The ideal scenario is doing it before class, but even going through textbooks on the same day and creating notes based on them works fine for me. During my pre-undergrad days while preparing for entrance exams, my teachers would ask everyone to just listen to the whole topic while they used to explain on the whiteboard, and only at the very end, after the board was fully covered, would they give everyone 5–10 minutes to jot down the content in their notebooks. I really think that really balances all the classroom learning, but I have never experienced the same type of teaching philosophy elsewhere since then.

I also think that a particular type of learning style can't work across subjects. There is no one-size-fits-all. You can't study history the same way you do mathematics. Physics is very different from chemistry, and computer science is definitely different. A lot of universities (anything outside the top 10) in my country really got CS education all wrong. I see kids writing code in their notebooks. Mugging up random information. It's really jarring.
These people already exists somewhere else (ie: any town, mid-west). Remote work will move health care and police workers to these places again (or keep them there) because the remote workers will create demands for these professions.

Many of the jobs done in hubs can be done anywhere else; they are the "remotest" jobs out there. Tech, Finance, Media, Research, etc... Many of these jobs can be done remotely and that will benefit everybody.

Of course, except for the big hubs landowners who are essentially exerting a tax on the high-income individuals.
The issue of 4 SWATs called to the same location is interesting to me because of all the other follow-on questions it raises in my head. It is tempting to give answers for them all as well, but my answers would all be speculative with no evidence to back them.

1. How are 911 dispatchers organized and staffed to have 24/7 coverage?

2. How are SWAT teams organized and staffed to have 24/7 coverage? How many SWAT teams cover/overlap a given address?

3. Comparing the answers for 1. and 2. with something like the fire department. Fire departments at times have to fight fires that run into multiple hours and multiple days and scale up their operations with help from neighboring regions and higher levels of government while maintaining sufficient organization and knowledge.

4. Why 4 SWATs and not anymore in that day?
Population growth since 2000 doesn't really affect the housing market today. Most of those people aren't old enough to be in the housing market.

We're facing shortages caused by 40 years of building below the level of population growth.
> according to security.org’s password-strength-checker [1] that will take a computer 200,000,000 years to crack

These types of things are very misleading. It is rare for a password to be bruteforced in general, it is unusual for the attacker to have the hashes of the actual site for an offline attack. Hopefully if the dev is competent there is rate limiting for an online attack. If the dev is competent they are hashing with argon2, pbkdf2, bcrypt etc tgat slows things down.

Anyways - 95% of password based attacks are using the same password in multiple places with one of the other sites getting hacked (someone's probably going to point out exceptions, and they do exist). Unless your password is absolutely terrible, the threat is not lack of password complexity but lack of password uniqueness.

Just to put it in perspective - 2FA is usually a six digit number, and that is considered secure since there are rate limits, and the user cannot reuse the key on multiple site. The security.org site says that can be cracked in 25 microseconds. There is obviously more to it then that since 2FA codes last more than 25 microseconds.
I think it’s a question of how they show up. After the pattern has been establish, they this is a prank, it should be more of a wellness check than kicking down doors.
To double down on one of the points a bit, its well observed and accepted that the CEO or senior authorities get all the attention, even in politics; But there's always the less-known team behind it that did most of the work.
They don't get the credits because they couldn't take the RISKS, that the senior folks did. Senior positions come with its associated risk and stakes, and not everyone has the guts to tackle that kind of exposure.
There’s a bathroom on the right ;)
Your premise is wrong and the pandemic has proven otherwise (except maybe for NYC). People will choose to move out of the city if given the choice.

Impressive Track Record Shared on our App and on Social Media

Last Monday our AI recommended Medpace, it’s already up +9% ahead of earnings.

Our AI predicted Microsoft would take over Apple and we shared it everywhere mid December... It also forecasted Meta +20% as a buy early January based on web scrapped data... and I posted it on LinkedIn 2 days before the dividends announcement...

Our AI forecasted yesterday rally on Palantir +30% (with Market Cap @$45Bn on earning date release), all our users received the EXACT prediction value last Sunday.

It recommended buying Ferrari over Tesla 3 months ago: since then Ferrari +15% and Tesla -27%: +42% overperformance!

Our users can testify (our user base is blowing up!!) and you can look at publications on our social platforms!

And now its forecasting a strong upbeat on another AI SaaS firm next week!

Weights greatly increase the dynamic range. It has nothing to do with the 1600s.
I loved Square but I eventually started getting a bizarre problem where it... wouldn't register my taps, until I swiped up from the bottom of the screen ("home" gesture) and then it would open whatever I'd been ineffectually hitting.
This is pretty risky given how lax sone places are with allowing customer service to be talked into removing 2fa.
Well, ok. I think a non-functioning vehicle is still a vehicle but I should have known that calling something obvious in this context is the most sure fire way of kicking off some pedantry. In any case, I think it is just a matter of definition and not very interesting as a result.

MIDI doesn't automatically mean no weighted keys.

All digital pianos have USB midi, and you can easily pick one a used one with weighted keys for a few hundred on craigslist.

My Yamaha U1 piano also came with a box that lets you interface over MIDI.
I don’t think the person you’re arguing with is against remote work or wouldn’t agree it’s a win-win. I think (and I agree) they are saying that it just doesn’t come close (on its own) to fixing housing on its own for the majority of workers, for whom remote work cannot ever make sense.

Also I might add that it seems like* most people who work remotely do not even choose to fully “maximize” the benefit by moving to truly super low cost of living locales, I’m assuming it’s for social, family, and perhaps status reasons. So, yes, economic activity outside fancy areas is being stimulated, but not to a huge degree.

*source: thinking of everyone I know at my fully remote company. Only a few live in places like West Virginia. Many live in the Bay Area, L.A., NYC, and like Connecticut.
Norm is my all time favorite comic, but I will readily admit that not everyone “gets” his humor. Most of my friends and family can’t understand why I like him so much. I was a wreck when I heard he died. I didn’t even know he was sick.
> The article says that a SWAT costs $10,000 US, but that cost is borne by the taxpayer and so it would be up to municipalities to deal with the risk of looking weak on crime or just pay the bill.

Police budgets are not infinite, taxes don't automatically get raised even if they spend all of it. Towns can and have shut down their police departments because they ran out of funding.
There are various design decisions that password managers can do to reduce this risk.

However there is always risk, the question is - is it better than the alternative? For most
reasonably designed password managers the answer is yes.

Heck for the average person, a sticky note on the monitor is probably better than the alternative.
> Rather depends on other factors though: you can perfectly well run an interstellar empire with very long communication times and people going into suspended animation for transit.

Probably not. Historically, a few months of lag is roughly the upper limit for running an empire. The Roman empire got round trip lag down to two months to the distant provinces. The Spanish empire was at 4-5 months of lag for the New World. Holding an empire together with a lag of decades probably won' work.
The fact is most encryption is backdoored, but more and more by way of implementation not kleptographic backdoors. That can be summed up in some math, more over ISO+world+dog have seen weakened math from the NSA who cleverly publish field manuals admitting to doing it over and over and never working. Implementation specific buggery hidden in plain sight takes skill or flouride in the tap water. Fact is most commerical cell phones, commercial routers, computers all have that sort of thing. Just ask Cisco, who will deny IPSEC was weakened for the NSA and FBI. RSA BSAFE, CtyptoPhone from Crypto AG. NagraVision.

Apache_scalp.c was a clever orchestration that likely shook Theo De Raadt to the Xanax Core when GObbles GOBBLED about it on openbsd.org using historical (un)hidden references. Fact is if you can audit it and you do not have the prerequisits needed to have an informed audit you should assume you know nothing other than some stranger wrote some code that claims this or that.

Because I work in the field of AI and ML, I'll answer from that perspective: More control over the use and outputs of LLMs. Enterprises will integrate AI into their services, ecosystems and internals heavily. Developers' daily life will get easier. Folks will realize the potential and come up with very interesting ways to use the power and capability of AI.
All in all, the field of Artificial Intelligence will get more settled and new realms will uncover.

All that export infra is paid for/backed by long term shipping contracts.

Finance for domestic infra is harder to get because no one wants to be locked into 20 year supply arrangements.

The Japanese were, and that's what paid for Gladstone, and that's why for a period, Australian ng was cheaper in Japan than on-shore.
Yes, they are two different statements. However, the comment I was responding to was making general claims and even used QML and XIB as examples.
Practically, this means that if you are an infrastructure tolling company - then you must reinvent all pieces of the cloud supply chain before building your product.

That’s a very expensive proposition. While the paper cost of a few racks in a colo is low - the people time to get where you want to be is high. If you mess up in this evolution - there is a risk that others outcompete you on something that isn’t your core product.

It’s crazy but angry mobs will attack you about being GPT on virtually anything that is long-form content or uses advanced vocabulary deemed too GPT-ish.

I’ve had the experience so much on various forums I now have to write “This is not GPT” on most posts to try to preempt the trolls (surprisingly this works).

There is a need to be able to source validate the work, and see the creation of things in order to validate their originality already, and we are barely into the AI era.

This obviously leads to a deep breakdown in trust.

I suspect the next step will be some kind of Real ID that allows everything you post to be validated and sophisticated technologies to try to counter AI, but it will be in vain as the vast majority of content on the Internet will become AI source generated. It’s an arms race and one side has geometric math advantages.

Perhaps eventually, in weird comfort, it will become stylish and trendy to collect “human written” things, like the vinyl records people collect where fully half of the people collecting have no ability to play them.

So too, I’m sure we will go full circle with this technology, which will eat and destroy credibility for original work and cast doubt in anything that can be generated, as it becomes so good it cannot be separated from human efforts.

Some officials bristle at tech executives’ sudden interest in local politics.

“I just see a cynical effort to control the city,” said Dean Preston, a member of San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors who is up for re-election. Tech’s attempt to back new leaders and policies is a blatant attempt to “buy political power and reshape the rules for their own economic benefit,” he said.

These cats play dirty. And so does the media. And it will no doubt play out just like that right here in this thread. The thing is many of us are or have been to SF recently and have eyes and a brain.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Show HN: A newsletter covering nuclear energy
Hi everyone; longtime HN user here. My co-founder and I launched Payload three years ago. It's now the leading B2B media company covering the space industry.

This week we launched Ignition, a media company covering the business and policy of nuclear energy. We are starting with a twice-weekly free newsletter that takes less than 5 minutes to read.

The first edition goes out on February 22nd.

Me + my cofounder started Payload last year to cover the space industry, from seed round to SPAC and beyond. Our first (and primary) product is a daily newsletter covering the business and policy of space. It's free and it takes ~5min to read.
Interesting that 20% of subjects were incapable of fixing their gaze when instructed to, while performing long term memory retrieval tasks.

While the study doesn't have a big answer as to why, their speculation sounds reasonable:

> we speculate that the ability to search for information stored in long-term memory may have developed from already-existing neural systems that enable the search for information in the visual environment. People use saccades to scan the visual environment. When they locate a stimulus of interest, scanning ceases and they focus on that stimulus. By analogy, people make multiple eye movements when they “scan” for information in long-term memory and very few eye movements when they “focus” on information in the working-memory “buffer.”
What are you looking to do exactly?

I studied statistics, stochastic calculus etc... and most of my friends are PhDs in mathematics.

I could recommend a thousand books, but are you sure that's what you want?

To be honest today you have ChatGPT, and some nice medium posts with real life applications that could be more valuable.

If I was you I would:

1) ask chatGPT or use the internet to find concrete examples of what are time series and how to use them,

2) get some real life data (like stocks or crypto - financial data is good for practise)

3) learn how to use Python existing packages amongside the data to predict / process / recognize sequential time series.

4) Try to make money with it - unless you aim to be a professor - which is honorable too.
But how long of a time frame are you allowed before you make this judgement on what a system does?

Clearly any sufficiently new system will do “nothing”, because not enough time has passed to produce results.
Wood is nowhere near strong enough for this. Metal is stronger than wood, and even that's not strong enough.

Tensile Strength to Weight is the important measure here - but you can't just take a block of wood vs an equal weight block of steel and compare (if you did, wood actually wins). Steel can be formed into very efficient shapes that significantly lighten it, wood can't.

The same issue will arise here for use in a turbine - only worse, because the material they use even outperforms steel, and is very very carefully and efficiently designed.
Millionaires have done a great job of fixing America! No doubt they will fix San Francisco even more than they already have.
async/await are dead simple. And many Node libs have synchronous versions. It's pretty straightforward if you are familiar with the language. If you aren't, well that isn't really the fault of JS nor any different from bash or python, which can both be just as painful for those unfamiliar.
No doubt. Though there's also the fact that more violence could have led to a harsh blowback much sooner, as it has in the past sometimes. I'm thankful Dostoevsky in particular was spared execution. He, in my humble opinion, is the greatest novelist to have ever lived, especially if you can read his works in their original language, with no translation loss. I did not always think that - when I was younger I did not have the benefit of life experience to understand the depth of his works, but now, in the second half of my 40s, I can't get enough, and they _really_ speak to me, and make me really reconsider some things at a really deep level. In retrospect it kind of makes sense - Dostoevsky wrote "The Demons" when he was only a few years older than I am now, so I can relate better to it. Following the same logic, I'll have to re-read "Brothers Karamazov" about 10 years from now, and I'm sure I'll get even more out of it then.
I've had little faith for quite a while in the current crop of elected leaders here, but I'm not sure it's believable that these tech execs are going to do any better... and they very well could easily make things worse.

But I'd be happy to be proven wrong. Not sure I'd vote for any of these folks, but we'll see how campaigning shapes up before November.
