Considering the frequency, you'd think at least some areas would have established a sort of "false report database" to keep track of locations where fake calls were made, but yeah, either way it's not like they're engaged in SWAT responses multiple times per day/week/month in most localities.

What large US city has actually built enough housing to even match natural population growth in the last 25 years?

More housing can only lower prices, in absolute terms, if it actually exceeds demand, but it still lowers prices compared to what they would have been had nothing been built, all else being equal.

There is broad consensus among economists that it is stringent regulatory controls constraining supply that lead to higher housing prices - not building more housing.

FWIW, Tokyo is maybe a contender for 3rd. Taipei and Seoul are both an order of magnitude better than Tokyo for public transportation, in my opinion.

I recall NYC being better than Tokyo, too (when it worked).
I grew up in Seattle, and my parents would sometimes mention the underground tour, but I never actually saw it until I was in my late 20s and I took my girlfriend home to visit.

When I did the tour, the guide really played up the brothel/prohibition angle and made a few off-color jokes about that part of the history (more burlesque humor than outright offensive). So maybe that's why parents never took me.

> Are officers and government actually involved in these Swat operations like mentally challenged or something?

Yes. Each SWAT call is just an excuse to play soldier, the chance they never got because they couldn’t pass the ASVAB to become real soldiers.

Competent police departments maintain a list of common swatting targets. Any time an address on that list gets called in, they have a number to call to check before sending armed officers. Four dozen times is beyond incompetence.
No, we wouldn't know today. But this is knowable in about 50 years or so, if we send probes to ~550AU and use the Sun as a gravitational lens; we will then be able to get high-res (1km resolution?) photos/videos of nearby extrasolar planets themselves. This may be enough to find a spacefaring civilization. (sure, rockets aren't 1km big, but they do leave big traces. maybe we could see that)

Lock up the people calling in the fake threats, of course. But there also has to be a conversation about how anyone can summon armed men to anyone else’s house. Seems like it’s a bad enough problem that police departments should reconsider how they respond.

Police departments will of course respond that all of this is necessary as a precaution, but at a certain point it’s unsustainable and produces worse outcomes.
I don't know what anyone should do about this information.

Should they have known that? From my uninformed perspective, I would not expect anyone to know what's under their building. And if I was Hamas, I would probably dig a tunnel under international institution, as it would be safer, and I don't think it should be surprising.

I really dislike the tone of the tweets, and I am right to be annoyed as the author is Executive Director of UN Watch, regarded as a pro-Israel lobby group by many journalists such as AFP or The Economist [0].

I don't think it could be used to excuse any Israel civilian bombings. They already proven that they bomb offices regardless of the institution owning them (recent example: [1]). Yes, I know, Hamas is everywhere but that's no reason to destroy everything, and UNRWA accusations as they are made by Israel intelligence could be exaggerated (even if I think that it is credible that a sizeable amount supports radical ideas to some degree), and still we got no way to help Gazans directly either way.

What is "at cost?" The cost to AWS is $/gbps (size of pipe), but they charge customers $/gb (stuff through the pipe). So if they're still charging you on the dimension of $/gb, you're probably getting ripped off no matter what they say about their "cost."
While this could have been worded a little differently, I think the core point is valid. What on earth is going on in law enforcement that they can get four anonymous tip-offs for the same address on the same day and not, by the fourth time, think "hey, we've already arrested this guy three times today, maybe he's not suddenly going to have become a heavily armed criminal since 2pm when we last checked."
You could write a poem about what you saw that day. Photography is just one kind of expression.
Instead of vehicle, switch to 'listening to music in the park'. Quite often rules around public disturbance, such as loud music are enforced in highly discriminatory fashions. And example could be that listening to loud rock in the US midwest would be ignored, or listening to country in the US south would be ignored, while listening to rap at the same volume would attract ire from park goers and police alike.

The article misses something super critical: why?. More specifically why a key few hires can change the trajectory of a company. The answer almost always comes down to one word and applies companies of any size: leadership.

Leadership is a concept largely foreign to the software industry for two reasons.

* Most software developers are never exposed to strong personalities and have no idea what strong leadership looks like. An excellent software developer tends to score high in agreeability, but a strong leader knows how to turn that down to 0 for maximum confrontation and/or defiance.

* Strong leaders know when to not follow trends with extreme criticality. This is highly paradoxical since so many software companies are funded by advertising which is a business of growing trends. Real leaders set new trends and take share from existing players setting their brand reputation in the process. Most people in software are deathly afraid to abandon conventions of comfort whether in business or in product/process innovation.

Awk is an impressive tool, but putting it on a pedastal blinds people from the weak spots and why they should probably move serious tasks to more specialized, but modern and adapted tools.
For about tech questions you asked. You asked right questions, but you missing context.

What really main bottlenecks of NN hardware are neither number crunching, nor memory.

Real bottleneck is that GPT-2 is may be last LLM for which was possible train on one machine (even on one card).

About GPT-3 usually people said about 32-GPUs installations (possible to install into one machine), for GPT-4 scale said about clouds.

And modern clouds are NUMA beasts. I could say, modern clouds networking is slow, but it is not right words, as they are slow as hell.

What all these mean, NN are good target for parallel processing in clouds, but not good enough. Real benchmarks said, mentioned 32-cards machine is about 10 times faster than 1 card with such amount of memory, and when on GPT-4 things scaled, benchmarks become much worse. So, just improve network to move bottleneck to something else and will got additional 50-100x improve.

And with good team of AI scientists, it is more real to make special hardware network for NN processing, or to tune algorithms, than with team of GPU video processing specialized team.
If the question were, “how do you think this rule should be applied to a park in your neighborhood” I think agreement would much more achievable.

There is no clarity on what the context of the application of a rule is.

Is an ambulance a vehicle in the park? Of course. Should the rule apply to an ambulance on duty in an actual park? Of course not.

Is a memorial tank a vehicle in the park? Obviously. Would some people object the memorial? For sure. Likely because they don’t like tanks in the park, not because of the vehicle rule, however they may use the vehicle rule to object.

So - amazing data. Wrong question.

I propose that the differences in opinion are likely differences in understanding the ill-defined context of the question.

Usually the police put you on the do not SWAT list after a few times. One may wonder what's going on in this city.
None of which is 'credit' in the sense of a score. And the fact that you have PM companies doing it as a "value added service", for a fee of course, rather than in the normal course of business also shows how shady this is.

If it's credit, report it. Don't charge people a fee to do so. I'm actually fairly surprised the bureaus haven't forbidden this. And if I was a renter and this was being done to me as a condition of rental I'd be disputing the tradeline.

> they've always got some degree of 'arrears' risk going on.

That's not a default of an extended line of credit.

> Not to mention you have the ability to literally burn down their property (even by accident) with no real way they can stop you

That's your investment risk as a landlord and why you carry insurance, still has nothing to do with my creditworthiness. Like you say, "even by accident".
I halfway agree with the first part, and I like the statement by the maintainers.

But, I think other libraries have done this too. React is a great example. It prioritized making the reactivity model really strong, and everything else is less important. (Like performance or bundle size.) To the extent that the official solution to performance issues is writing a compiler for the library to auto-optimize everything, because they don’t want to compromise on the reactivity model itself.

To me, that feels like a subjective choice, going more off vibes than certain metrics. (Not making a value judgement, just explaining what I’ve heard at conferences.)

In other words, I don’t think “objective BS” got us into this place. Shops which care a lot about performance will have “performance budgets” for things like TTFB or time to reactive. It’s a more objective approach that tries to minimize lots of MB going over the wire.
Why don’t they issue a loan then, and get paid back with interest? It’s insane that our system, by design, has an underclass that is earning WAY less because they can’t afford the entry price for a home, so all their rent for years and years goes into someone else’s pocket instead of their own equity. IMO

>Lock up the people calling in the fake threats,

And if the people calling in fake threats are doing so over hacked VOIP? It's not really like the old days where a phone meant you were somewhere in particular.

The particular elephant in the room is it is the cops get called to hundreds of locations (per department) per year that are actual violent confrontations, with domestic abuse being the most common type. That huge numbers of Americans are armed doesn't help the situation any.
> Leadership is a concept largely foreign to the software industry

Maybe in the companies you’ve worked for, but I haven’t found this to be true at all

> An excellent software developer tends to score high in agreeability, but a strong leader knows how to turn that down to 0 for maximum confrontation and/or defiance

Hard disagree. “Maximum confrontation and/or defiance” has never been a goal of good leaders who are trying to build a team that works together.

Encouraging people to speak their mind is good. Encouraging “maximum confrontation” is just going to create chaos. The goal is to work together to ship, not to argue and defy all the time. I can’t think of anyone who would want to work on a team where everyone had agreeableness dialed down to 0 where leaders encouraged confrontation all the time, except maybe for people who just like to argue a lot.

> Most people in software are deathly afraid to abandon conventions of comfort whether in business or in product/process innovation.

Another strong generalization that I can’t agree with. Most people I’ve worked with in software have been so aggressive about bucking trends and trying new things that we’ve had to dial it back a notch. A lot of the debates I’ve had with teams have been about choosing boring, stable technologies over the newest cutting edge technology that’s popular on Twitter. Same goes for business strategies, where I’ve had to deal with everyone from product managers to sales people trying to do things their own creative way when the standard, boring practices are what finally got the job done.
Police departments reconsidering how they respond would mean fewer chances to play as action movie stars with all that army surplus gear.
GPL doesn't care about inclusion or linking, it cares about derivative work. And somehow I doubt the 3d engine is derivative work of a piece of autoconf.
Thank you! I'll definitely put together a video demo before requiring logging in. Showing live MIDI during a call sidesteps the challenge of showing and recording both yourself playing and what notes you're playing. Also, because MIDI is represented digitally, we'll be able to do things like chord/scale detection, recording and playing back, and showing live playing on sheet music.
Lock up the people responsible at the companies allowing anonymous VOIP calls to 911. If the ultimately responsible party is overseas or untraceable, the company at the end of what was able to be traced assumes responsibility.
Its not likely that they are truly that incompetent; its probably free (overtime) money/hazard pay or something.
Seriously, the article cites one example of four times in a single day

On one hand, you’d hope the cops stop busting down doors with guns drawn after the first time

On the other hand maybe the exploit is to swat some place twice then you can attack the residence for real to avoid the heat
It is difficult to get a officer to understand something, when their overtime depends upon not understanding it.

It rather depends on where you're flying to.
A few potential things.

1) The department could have a policy that considers all calls real threats. For example lets say you target a business that carries a lot of cash with swatting. You fatigue the cops with swatting until they no longer respond. Then you rob the place.

2) The cops don't like the guy. Couple that with number 1 and you get the perfect shitstorm situation for the victim.
There are plenty of ways someone could expand their horizons and develop a hobby in VR that doesn’t involve or require them to do any of that.
The fivefold repetition rule says that the game is drawn in the event of a fivefold repetition, regardless of actions by the arbiter or either player. (Indeed, regardless of whether an arbiter is present.) So if it's later discovered to have occurred in a game which White apparently won by checkmate, then the win is void. The rule also places a duty on the arbiter to intervene, but a failure on the arbiter to intervene has no bearing on the outcome.

This is because you are using SQL Server. Microsoft has intentionally made cloud pricing for SQL server prohibitively expensive for non-Azure cloud workloads by requiring per-core licensing that is extremely punitive for the way EC2 and RDS is architected. This has the effect of making RDS vastly more expensive than running the same workload on bare metal or Azure.

Frankly, this is anti-competitive, and the FTC should look into it, however, Microsoft has been anti-competitive and customer hostile for decades, so if you're still using their products, you must have accepted the abuse already.
I don't follow the last point in your argument.

Isn't 4 equivalent to, 'no civilization will invent casual interstellar travel/spread to the stars'?

And isn't that hypothesis extremely likely, given what we now know about the costs of _interplanetary_ travel and its relative ease compared to interstellar travel?

That's another assumption, that it's _possible_ to colonize a galaxy from a planetary base. We don't even know that it's possible to colonize a nearby planet. If we were confident that we could, we'd be filling up Siberia, Ellesmere Island, and Greenland first.

There's also another assumption missing from your list- that technological civilizations can last long enough to colonize the galaxy. I'm also surprised that there isn't any discussion on the site or here of Great Filters. If the average technological civilization wipes itself out within a few hundred years of developing technologies that enable space travel or even radio, then all discussion of "filling the galaxy" is castles in the air.
Also the road names I know the least are the ones I walk the most. Familiarity allows the information to be pruned.

Because the work overall the organization is doing becomes more valuable with this change.

For a whole class of problems, your overall day would go better.
