> People just want detached houses to be cheaper. Most aren’t dreaming about affording a 3 or 4 bed apartment.

I'm skeptical of your claim. From what I read in social networks, newer generations of Americans don't even believe they will ever afford an apartment, let alone a detached house. I seriously doubt that there's a generation of choosing beggars who only accept living in a type of home they can't possibly even dream of affording.
The tools to do so would probably be easily available if it weren't illegal

Another factor for people who go suburban to raise families is that it's more affordable, at a time when they have a major expense.

Absolutely! Very few books have also basically changed my philosophical outlook on something as much as this has (I had the seeds of the idea before the book, but the book really cemented specific concepts around computation and thought/consciousness/identity even mean).

Another book that is fairly different, but has had a big impact on some of my views of things, is the Three Body Problem trilogy (specifically the second and third book).

Potentially, yes. But when we asked about this we were told that not all heat pumps and head units are compatible -- so we seem to be locked in based on brand, model, and refrigerant type.
Only if the film industry can figure out how to tank Reddit's stock price when it doesn't. It's a misalignment of incentives. Unless Reddit is exclusively associated with piracy and bad actors, most advertisers will probably ignore the bad press* and keep giving them money.

* I'm not even sure it'd be bad press. Internet users aren't overly fond of film companies and we're talking about a meme factory against the people who said "You wouldn't download a car."
I've been running the unrestricted mixtral 8x7B model locally via llama.cpp. It's insanely refreshing compared to any ChatGPT models, Gemini, Llama, etc.

For one thing, and granted this is my own experience, that model is much better at coding than any of the others I've tried.

But going beyond that, if I need to do anything complicated that might hit the baked in filters on these other models I don't have to worry about it with mixtral. I'm not doing anything illegal btw. It's just that I'm an adult and don't need to use the bumper lane when I go bowling. I also approach any interaction with the thing knowing not to 100% trust it and to verify anything it says independently.

Thank you for your comment. I'm interested in this program too and agree with you that 6 months maybe too short to move and rent an apartment there. I assume most place have at lease 1 year contract, right? I would like to give them my comment too. Can you please share where can we give them feedback when they open for public comment?
And will it possible if we ask them to let us apply for residency card?

Thank you
Thai to English translation via Google Translate is utter trash for some reason, but here's the Disposable Income stats the Thai Govt provided [0] and matches the data I provided above.

Also, Thai B1/2 refusal rates are significantly lower than Chinese B1/2 rates (B1/2 is largely judged based on economic capacity) and Thailand doesn't even have an exit pass requirement.

Also, Thai citizens can travel to SK and JP visa free but Chinese can't, which further proves the point.

> prices seem lower in Bangkok than even a tier 3 city in China

Because of housing. After the Housing Market crash happened in 1997 due to overbuilding, Thailand has a severe deflationary period similar to what China is facing today.

Most Western FMCGs in ASEAN are also manufactured in Thailand and don't have a luxury tax (0% in Thailand versus 30-40% in China), which has helped keep prices low.

This and the large Chinese Thai community is why Thailand became a popular tourist destination for middle class Chinese before COVID

When I (American) had an apartment in Wuhan, the fridge was not particularly small and our 3-bedroom apartment didn't feel cramped. The beds were hard, but normal size. The bathroom was a little weird — no separation of the shower — but not particularly small. There was a laundry machine but no oven.
There's less space to build apartments in the city. So even if demand is lower, it could simply be that supply is lower still.
We're planning to make it so you can change the env variables w/ the tray icon. The CLI will always work too though.
Are you sure they were RGB triplets and not white LEDs? Either way, is fun to imagine continuing this - grouping three of these filtered LED lights to make a new white light source, which you can then again filter with translucent plastic, etc!
The subtext of your post points more toward food culture than work culture. I've noticed most Americans eat to fuel themselves. Europeans eat to enjoy food and as a reason to spend time with other people. Often, going to dinner with people in America and they're all done eating in 5 minutes... I've barely taken a few bites. Friends call me a "slow eater". Whereas in other countries, dinner can last a couple hours. It's not just about your work schedule, but about how you regard your free time and what your relationship is with food.

I've had some people use having children as an excuse for why they eat so fast, but I've seen people in Europe or Latin America take their young children to dinner and those kids behave and sit at the table and listen. Such a thing is almost unbelievable to American parents.

I blame puritanism for the lack of interest in food, sure; but the emphasis on excusing it with the pressing need to work is funny because it's like a defense of joylesssness.

Downloading and activating models is very convenient. This llm stuff is really complicated and every little bit helps at the beginning. I only started two weeks ago and was very frustrated. A tool that just works is good for that kind of thing. Of course at that point you think it's their models and there's something special they are doing to the models etc. Honestly no tool that allows easy downloads goes out of their way to say they are just downloading TheBloke's gguf files and that the same models will run anywhere.

One of the big problems with heat pumps in New England is that our electricity costs 1.7x the US average (https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...).

If you're in the South, a heat pump makes perfect sense. You're going to want AC anyway and it'll be way more efficient and save a ton of money when you want heat. In most of the country, even if it gets cold your electricity prices are still a ton cheaper. Iowa/Kansas/Missouri/Nebraska get cold, but their electric rates are less than half ours.

Heat pumps do work into freezing New England temperatures, but they're a bit less efficient as it gets to zero fahrenheit. That wouldn't matter if our electric rates were more reasonable, but at our high rates a heat pump would probably cost me an additional $50/mo in the winter (compared to natural gas). That isn't so bad and our electric rates might come down as offshore wind actually starts happening. Plus it might actually be cheaper than gas given that mini-splits would mean I could choose which rooms I want to heat rather than heating the whole place as a single zone. Plus there's the option to get solar power to drive down prices.

But I think the biggest issue in New England (and California) will probably be the high cost of electricity. In most of the country, heat pumps are a huge no-brainer.
This is the kind of discourse I seek out on HN. ty
Have a slightly different view. In times of high interest rates, you are rewarded for profitability, not for growth.
When interest rates are low, your company needs to grow or it will be outgrown by its competitors and becomes a takeover target.
With high interest rates unprofitable companies (which is a side effect of a growth strategy) slowly bleed to death and become takeover targets by themselves.

How cold are your winters? My heat pumps are doing fine but it’s NorCal so they never have to work too hard.
Wow.... nice one...
It takes time for the humidity to be removed out of the air: a 'particular' cubic foot (metre) of air that passes over the coils can be cooled quite quickly, but won't be dehumidified as quickly.

So when the unit runs it can drop the temperature by the necessary (e.g.) 5F (2C), but it may only drop the humidity by 5%, when it needs to drop by (say) 10%. So a 'too-short' run-time can adequately cool the air, but not necessarily remove moisture.

It's also easier to generate 'excess' humidity by bathing/shower than it is to generate excess heat (cooking could generate both). So the humidity can creep up in value while the temperature stays more steady.
yeah, seriously
frankly this was also my experience with chatgpt. every single request was initially "no, I can't do that" and having to wheedle and cajole it into working. and I wasn't asking it to build me a bomb, it was basic stuff.

Some of those restrictions are worth having. Some are unreasonable. This is a debate worth having, but it cannot be done without going into details.

Either you’re misunderstanding closet to mean a built-in wardrobe or… I don’t know what other explanation there could be. American closets (i.e: a whole room of 100+ square feet, dedicated to storage of clothes) just don’t exist in “normal” European flats/apartments/homes. You’d be an outlier if you have an American-style closet in Europe. Regardless of how much you’re spending, they just don’t exist in >95% of properties.
Once they're public, everything is going to change.

At that point it becomes "building value for the shareholder" and "minimizing risk for the shareholder".

Except in this case, users are the product, and if you ruin the experience for the user then you've ruined your own product, thus defeating the shareholder.

> You cant legally drive when you had one small beer

Not in the US. The legal limit in almost all states is 0.08.
I was laid off along with a quarter of staff last year.

If I’m being honest, all of these are true:

- I had life circumstances making me depressed and I get why I was included.

- Multiple projects I spent over a month on were just thrown away casually when management changed their mind. So I was being paid without creating value.

- I don’t think tech workers are overpaid per se, but most people are underpaid given the effort they put in or conditions they work in.

Even as I made great money as a tech worker, I was acutely aware that I wasn’t providing value to society. Or even arguably the company, even when I tried.

My favorite Orwellian phrase is “Human Resources”. In a publically traded company, headcount is another number to advertise in the game of stock evaluation. People themselves become speculative assets.

I still benefited from this system and most people in the US have it worse than I do. That said, I find the expansion-layoff cycle icky.

It would be interesting to know if an admission to pirating content on Reddit is actually admissible. I would think it falls under free speech.

Eg: someone makes a parody of an old Monty Python song and states, “I’m a pirate and that’s ok.”

Should this count in an age where the vast majority of legal notices in this genre are robo-lawyers? Should my internet connection be severed because a guest was bored and posted to Reddit while at my house?
Its just funny how this shows a fundamental lack of understanding at all. It's just word matching at this point.

30 year mortgages plus the 1/3rd of salary mortgage approval heuristic means that desirable real estate costs 10 years of salary.

If we had 10 year maximum mortgages, real estate would cost 1/3rd as much, roughly.

I expect at the end of the day they are one and the same. As in, certain races are treated the way they are because they are poor (generally speaking). It is not like, for example, the white "slack jawed yokels" (rednecks, hicks, white trash, whatever insensitive term you want to call them) are held in high esteem. They too are poor (generally speaking), so they get treated poorly.

Let's face it, if the rich list was comprised of mostly black women, we would be bowing down to them and praising their every move. They are marginalized because they, by and large, don't have a good answer to "But what can you do for me?"
Not bad, just different.

Yeah, expect the Dutch do not make any more children than other countries, now you have a give a lot bigger part of your income to the government whether you want kids or not and this money is going to be use for increasingly inefficient and uncompetitive institution that somehow always needs more money for inexistant results.

Oh, and suddenly your whole population tends to think and act alike for many important subjects because of the built-in propaganda at school. The effects of this can clearly be seen in the current active generation.

As a French that until recently had better fertility than most European countries because of heavy subsidy for having kids I find it funny that you think it even works long-term because it clearly doesn't, even France has dropped fertility and not only you get all the help in the world to have kids, mother are actually paid to have them, yet it doesn't work...

The reality is that it's all about division of labor/responsibility between the sexes but because of previously mentioned "universal education" this is something that cannot be said, because not politically correct (in pretty much any political side which is hilarious in itself).

It's very easy to idealize this coercive system when you were able to choose it but realistically if you would ask many past a certain age, they would definitely choose some other arrangements than to rely on the government for their kids, considering the ongoing cost via taxation (you get to pay forever, how cool) and low quality results...
> I eventually downloaded one from my bank

Had the same experience, but that I could not do, as my bank would only give out some crude Netscape era HTML laid out with a borderless <table>, that might just as well have been plain text. I literally had to fake something that looked like a pretty paper one, complete with the bank cooler palette and slapping a semi-transparent logo in the background.

Another marvel: once I received some paperwork, and was asked to sign and scan, which I did.

I had a nice scanner. It produced perfectly noise free, upright scans. I had a nice pen. It produced very clean scripture.

Apparently too nice as the recipient lectured me that I had to print, physically sign, and scan, that they could not accept a digital signature on a digital document. The fact that I received the paperwork on actual paper by snail mail and never could have had access to a digital version completely eluded them.

What the lawyers wanted may be very different from what reddit actually keeps.
Keep in mind that so far, co2 levels have increased from below 300 to about 420 parts per million (alongside increases in other greenhouse gases). It's a stark difference that makes for a measurable increase in heat retention. The classic experiment is to fill one glass tube with atmospheric air and one with atmospheric air with added co2 and expose both to an infrared lighbulb and then take the temperature over time. Depending on the difference in concentration you can get a measurable temperature difference in hours. So it's really not a theoretical difference anymore that we need to speculate about, it's a tangible difference that we can measure with fairly basic instruments that you would find in a high school lab or even at home.

Also, thanks to both of you for sharing.
The 737 also had a responsible parent in those days.
I postulate that if your company uses LDAP, and you are here on HN, you're going to be laid off within the next 12 months.

> all those "new tech" people hate new tech in their own areas

Unfortunately, the recent generation of tech workers have not been represented in local politics. As far as I know, none of the supervisors or mayors in recent memory in San Francisco have worked in technology; they typically come from nonprofits, unions, or just landed gentry. It is not young tech workers who refuse to rezone and amend the building code for affordability, it is older homeowners and nonprofit special interests. The Board of Supervisors (the city council) has been rather hostile to tech for the past decade or more.
I'm not in CA, so genuinely curious. When you quote 66 cents/kwh is that the marginal rate for an addition kwh or is that averaging in fixed costs? I pay about $20/mo just to have an active service line to my house, even if I were to shut off the breaker and not use any power. But my marginal rate is about 18 cents/kwh.

I would call my rate 18 cents but not sure if we are doing an apples to apples comparison.

It is still an airframe that does not have the same redundancies required of new air frames.

It exists specifically to bypass those new requirements.

All else being equal, it will never be as safe as something designed to meet modern standards.
Because there are lot of people who are single/couple, living with boy/girl or just friends, going to university, traveling job and so on. As you can see there is large category of people who are not raising families or planning for long term in city. So obviously there is big demand of apartments but not family size apartments.

It seems to me that this kind of situation would plausibly be a straightforward case for Revocation of Acceptance, but there's not really any mechanism for doing so.

I'm quite sure that not many people would bother, which is why they do things like this in the first place.
> No matter how you calculate it, 737 Max been through more crashes than A380, unless you ignore the previous two crashes, obviously.

Correct, but again this is too simplistic of a view and it's not a question that gives you any real information.

Consider a brand new airplane that has never flown. It's also been in zero crashes. Is it obviously safer than the 737 Max? Clearly not, so what is the real question you want to answer?

What you really want to know is, based on the existing data, how likely is it that I will crash if fly on an A380 vs a 737 Max? This is question that ultimately hinges on the predictive power of the existing data, and when you are dealing with rare events, the data volume makes a huge difference in your confidence intervals.

Without drowning the conversation in details, if you modeled crashes as a Poisson process (which may or may not be appropriate), there are absolutely situations in which a 737 Max with 2 crashes is the obvious statistical choice over an A380 with none, simply because you have so much more data for the Max that you have tight confidence intervals around the flight not ending in a crash.

With much less data on the A380s side, the confidence intervals are wider and it's possible that it's actually more likely that your A380 becomes the first crash than that you experience the third 737 Max crash!

I'm not saying this is definitively the case, it would require lots of specific data I don't have access to and a subject matter expert to sign off on the modeling, but X is not safer than Y simply because X has a fewer total number of events.
It wouldn't be a lost sale, but that would be trespassing, and possibly deprive someone who legitimately rented that seat.
Office applications (spreadsheets excluded) also look like a tremendous productivity sink to me.

Anyway, the answer the article is looking for seems very clear to me. The informatics companies got into a hiring scare recently, and are trying to undo it with a firing scare. Those companies appear to be run by bozos, and trying to look into theoretical fundamentals for their behavior is a fools errand.
You are dealing with different pressures on the refrigerant lines, but honestly that shouldn't really matter all that much. You also need a bit of logic for if the condenser starts freezing over to temporarily reverse the flow (and turn off the home fan) to defrost.

But otherwise, yeah, almost identical and a little crazy they'd cost much more over a typical install.
