> Really?

Are you surprised I'm just not accepting the trope as God-given truth? Get used to it. :)

> If people weren't forced to pay as much taxes as they have today they would have more resources to invest in what really matters to them instead of having a bunch of bureacrauts wasting it.

And they'd have less services provided by government.

Anyway, your claim is a trope, but let's actually examine it:

People want government to do certain things; government does things that "really matter". Nobody gets exactly what they want from anything - the restaurant, their family members, employers, etc., or from government.

I know the word 'bureaucrat' has been demonized, but that's not evidence (in fact, it's evidence IME of right-wing propaganda). I personally know some government bureaucrats well, and they are serious professionals, completely committed to their job and to public service.

Government waste is long been a trope of the right-wing propaganda, as a way to persuade people to cut taxes (for the wealthy) and reduce government's influence (which democratically counters that of powerful people), but I've never seen evidence that government is more wasteful than other sizeable institutions - if you've seen the inside of a mid-sized corporation, you would recognize it. Same with churches, non-profits etc etc.

If you have evidence, that's one thing. Just repeating these claims doesn't make them true. It makes them ripe to be challenged.

> There are tons of low-hanging fruits, at least in South America, the issue is that government doesn't exist to provide services and seek the interests of the population. Government is just a big mafia and things are corrupt and inneficient by design because their true goal is to fill their pockets.

Who is there only to provide services? Don't businesses also want to fill their pockets? Also, we are grouping all of South America, from Columbia to Argentina, into one broad generalization?
Name a subsidy, and I can argue how it's an investment. Politics is preference for limited resource allocation :)
> wont be surprised when we see people with scurvy

While I wouldn't be shocked to see it happen very rarely, I was under the impression that it was hard to get scurvy today because vitamin C gets added to so much food because it's a preservative.
This is anecdotal I guess but I know I'm not alone.. as someone who has been forced to live in more dense housing with each move the older I get.. (grew up in a house,shared walls, more shared walls, and now an apartment with shared walls and people above me). Misery vastly increases with density, at least for me. People are loud, inconsiderate and fucking gross. There's trash and broken shit everywhere, people idle their cars and cause noise pollution from the exhaust reverberating on the buildings or their stereos, no one owns the communal areas so they get trashed because nobody gives a shit. Common areas smell horrible, or are overpoweringly scented with air freshener. Living in dense housing as driven me absolutely mad, and I have more buying power than I've ever enjoyed in my life it's ridiculous so it's not like I'm forced to live in dense housing and poverty. So when I read shit like 'people like people - we WANT to be close to one another' I get triggered as fuck, I'm not sure I know any adult that would prefer to live in a house over an apartment. Also... There's almost zero cultural tolerance, people silo into their cultural bubbles and refuse to integrate.

Can't help but feel that's what we're moving towards.
We don't even know if it will be ever practical interstellar travel, because we didn't reach that stage yet. In theory it should work... in theory I could climb stairs till reaching the moon too. People is too busy trying to figure out how advanced aliens should think, and didn't stopped to analyze how they are thinking

By using our knowledge of physics, we can make reasonable speculation on what is possible and not possible, and what engineering we need to do to make these effort successful. Some people's work are so successful that they became foundational to our knowledge base today.

Same as with aliens. We can make reasonable extrapolation on what we might see from the type of aliens that expand versus and aliens that don't. They are of course, guesses, and those guesses continued to be argued and refined. Note that the site doesn't assumed that all aliens are grabby, only that some are grabby aliens, and try to extrapolate on what it might look like if they are grabby.
I feel the same way. I think part of it that I’m not being drained by doomscrolling and instead, engaging my brain in a positive way. Another part is knowing that I’m using my time in a way that I value. I feel inspired.

Like going to the gym, it’s easy to go a long stretch without reading once you stop, and fall into effortless habits again.
I always assumed git was a sort of slang for get. So you "git the code" or use git to get code.
In what sense is a novel, never-before-seen image that comes out of DALL·E 3 "encoded in" in the system? The image may be, in a sense, encoded in the latent space of images, but so is every image (of the same dimensions) that ever has been or will be.
> The specific behavior you get is a result of the programming. what does "beyond the programming" mean? I think it's actually a meaningless statement.

The laws of physics encode every motion and interaction of every particle.

None of those fundamental laws directly says "water is wet".

> I would love to see an actual example where a program does something not encoded in itself already.

You see it every time you use a machine learning system. Even the simplest models, say a linear regression line in a spreadsheet, "learn" from the data, not from the code.
Egress is an artificial cost. Cloud providers don't pay for it.
Yes, I would claim that. What major, non-game, UI stacks out there aren't structured that way?
Could this be done more simply by how go does exceptions: just return the effect and let the caller handle it (or not)?

So a function that has exceptions would return "value, error". A function that is async would return "value, future". A function that yields would return "value, tail".

I'm sure I'm missing something though.
Why is being first, or being among the first, “special”? To me “special” is different than just “specific.” If some civilization knew it was the 50th advanced civilization in the universe, 50 might seem like a very special number, but is it really more special than 1?
Any YouTube videos of it making audio?
we suck ass at preserving history/things in this country. We all have this attitude of tear it down and build something better. No one is talking about improving/maintaining/repairing what we already got.
Yes. That as well.
We wouldn't know if we're in a simulation unless the diety/programmer wanted us to know that.
> And people following that religion know exactly how that entity thinks and behave. Because that entity should think like humans of the current culture does, no?

Those are really interesting claims you make. Very often I see the exact opposite claims out there: humans have almost no idea what the god(s) are really thinking, and religion seeks to contrast itself from the surrounding culture.

(that's not the biggest philosophical conflict I see in religious discussion, but the other is Christian-specific)

Ugh. 7 trillion dollars for AI chips? Honestly that sounds divorced from reality. Why? Because it is absurdly easy to make a memory starved AI chip with too much TFLOPS.

What innovation are they going to bring to the market? 3D XPoint combined with AI engine chiplets for petabyte scale AI models? That wouldn't cost more than a hundred billion.
I think the AY sound chip is overrated, nothing but pure 50% square waves. You move up to the next step, and you get the NES sound chip, with 12.5% and 25% duty cycles. Then you move up another step, and you have the Turbo Grafx sound chip, with short custom waveforms.

go watch that and understand that conservative areas where BY FAR more supportive than New York.

This is a common trope amongst youtubers and they _consistently_ find that these conservative areas are more accepting than the liberal areas such as New York. And they're more willing to speak up.

But go on, explain to me why an asshole defines the entire region. I want to hear how we have more assholes and somehow can't be forgiven for that, but apparently NYC can!
Their diagram showed UV light applied before the dissolving of the copper. Honestly your order makes more sense
Somewhat related, that's how guns are classified in the US: The Gun is "just" the lower receiver. Even though that one is useless by itself, it is the foundational piece of it to which one attaches all the accessories. (And even then there's loopholes, like how a 80% lower receiver is just a piece of metal and not a gun yet)

With a car, I guess one answer would be "The part that has the VIN on it is the car", but apparently there's no universally agreed on location. I would probably go for the drive shaft.

I was kind of curious in what the author had to say, but his sole motivation being ”getting ahead of competitors” really put me off.

Not really much thought or deep reflection on my part,I just feel that they are a type of person that I don’t want to be or follow advice.

So I stopped reading.

What do you mean by "work"? You can export a mutable variable yes, but why would you? It makes no sense outside of Svelte and it doesn't relate to the rest of the code where you presumably use that variable as if it was set from the outside at the moment you were exporting it or something along those lines.

In the end it is also just a compiler directive for svelte, it doesn't end up in the code the svelte compiler outputs.

Look at this example:

https://svelte.dev/repl/c450c88a415a435485729f4ba88069f1?ver...

If you check the JavaScript output tab on right, this prop declaration in Child.svelte

> export let count = 0;

Has become

> let { count = 0 } = $$props;

Which looks a lot closer to this new rune syntax, so

> does not even remotely work like it would in JS.

Is not true at all, it works a lot like this in JS, or at least a lot more than the "export let" syntax.

Edit:

I want to add to your point here:

> That is, $props is not an object. The string "$props" is a compile-time directive that declares myProp to be a prop. It's not destructuring $props, it's declaring myProp. "$props" is a magic incantation defined within the Svelte compiler.

I get you on this!
I wasn't aware it worked like this and replaces the $$Props interface [1] which I am using to declare component props at the moment. I understand your point and I agree that parsing required props and such out of this destructuring assignment is a bit magical, but to be honest in my view not significantly more magical than the rest of Svelte.

For Linux, Android based systems clipboard content can be marked as sensitive. For systems using X and Wayland the informal standard is to add an extra format to the clipboard contents with the MIME type "x-kde-passwordManagerHint" and have the contents of it be "secret" to signal that it is sensitive.

If these aren't being properly translated between systems when using barrier than that is a security issue with barrier itself.

This is an excellent summary of some of the myriad problems with the paper. Especially the highly dubious claims of grandmaster level play. And also of a lot of misconceptions about things the paper didn't(and didn't claim to afaik) do at all.

It's a shame it's not getting as much traction on here as the paper itself. Once again, Deepmind's shameless embellishments of their research will become HN myths because most people will only have seen the paper and not this.

This is of course a general trend; critiques and even retractions rarely get as much attention as the hyperbolised form of the original research and while the field itself moves on, the laypeople come out of it less informed than they were before.
They are an outlier… an extreme one.

Bullshit. Tokyo's average unit costs $1m now. They managed to create a bona-fide property bubble in the middle of declining population: https://www.reuters.com/markets/asia/surging-tokyo-property-...

I think this effect is because we learn and the AI doesn't. (In the short term, for any given release of the AI.) Start asking about a topic that's new to you, and it will "know" things you don't. Then you learn those things, and it keeps making the same mistakes.

Over the longer term, new releases have improvements, but the feedback loop is currently pretty slow. It will likely get faster.
Thanks. That's fine. After 3 the situation becomes more manageable. A friend of mine was in the same shoes and 3 is the magic number. I think it has a lot to do with interactivities enabled after 3.
For us it wasn’t about not being able to raise kids, it was seeing how garbage parents are with their massive consumption and a whole generation of iPad pacifier kids. This planet is fucked in a hundred years and I’m not bringing kids into that world.

Just curious, if you go to that link, and then press the back button, does it give you another spam page? The back button takes you to a page full of spam on mobile. Can anyone confirm ?

Same, we had steam tunnels that you could get into if you were careful -- both not to get caught and not to get burned. Mechanical rooms that were often unlocked. Weird spots between buildings where additions were made.
You've missed the metaphor, I think. Higher temperatures will make it "more creative" for lack of a better term, but there's a lot of specialist knowledge it doesn't have and which you can't give it just by twiddling a dial.

It has a massive speed advantage that lets it read the whole internet, but it's dumb enough that it also needs to, and when even that doesn't give it enough examples, it's like asking me to improvise Latin based on what I recognise of the loanwords in English.
"Supply skepticism" is a good overview: https://furmancenter.org/research/publication/supply-skeptic...

And it's written from the viewpoint of pro-density. Read the linked papers there, the best results of density increases are either extremely indirect ("migration chains") or insignificant (no sale price decreases, and single-digit percentage one-time decreases in rent).

I'm writing an analysis of all densifications in the US and Canada. So far, I have not found a _single_ example of density increases leading to even slowing down of sale prices. Never mind their reduction.

On the other hand, they ALWAYS lead to worsening commutes and shrinking square footage per capita.

Man, the hours I spent on this game. Haven’t played it in years and won’t any time soon because family dominates my time but is it weird to imagine myself whiling away whole days on this (and Civ) when I’m retired?
I don't like presenting my screen or slides via the camera feed.

In certain apps, like MS Teams or Zoom, the bitrate for camera feeds is much lower _and_ you are just one of the several feeds on the screen.
A screenshare takes over the layout so everyone is looking at the same thing.

It would be better if this gave a virtual screen rather than a virtual camera.
I agree in part with you, particularly the weird utopian beliefs people have about transit-enabled housing.

I lived in Tokyo which is full of high density and the world's best public transit without the drug abuse issues in the West. Safe, omnipresent public transit like this is absolutely necessary for high density — and it's not ideal at all.

Getting from point A to B for work is miserable. You walk to the station, wait for your train, then switch as necessary. Switching trains can be awful — Yotsuya to the Marunouchi line was particularly horrible. Maybe you are a winner with a job at Tokyo station; but I thought the point was empowering all people, not just the top tier of society?

Of course, you can choose to align yourself with the train system. Leaving aside your subsequent disadvantage when changing jobs, you are then competing with everyone for a decent place to live. Suddenly you need to fight for denser and denser (aka smaller and smaller) housing again and people eventually get priced out to a new town two hours out of Tokyo.

And that's in the city; Try visiting your family in Saitama if you live in the wrong part of Tokyo. Your selfish human desire to connect with family turns a 25-30 minute car ride into a 1.5 hour painful hassle, and one that is not cheap either. Try getting your friends together for a board game — transit is one reason why such home parties are so rare.

For the Bike utopians, I used to bike from Koenji to Ikebukuro at Sunshine 60 and would routinely beat the train. I had to stop because, even with the ideal small back roads, it was dangerous — and someone stole my bike. This is an inevitable part of density, you aren't going to have bigger roads and you get more rolls of the dice to encounter dishonest people.

Finally, the more density, the less you can do. Humans have their own social gravity and it shows. You will be poorer overall as going to the spice grocery is going to take up all your activity time (since so much will vanish in transit). Maybe it's ok if you wish to conform to everyone else's choice of food and activity but that's literally the opposite of diversity.

This is with the very best public transit system in the safest city in the world (for men, let's not talk sexual
harassment of women) — any attempt in North America will be much, much worse for reasons that are obvious.

I still believe cities should enable higher density as homelessness is worse than everything I outlined above; but it won't be pleasant and many people will be forced into a cramped housing situation that they will never be able to get out of.

In that context, finding ways to bring jobs to smaller cities makes a lot of sense. I am sorry you got downvoted op, but a lot of people seem to be attracted to high density without appreciating realistic drawbacks.

(And to be honest, I still like the Tokyo train system, I'm just not going to mindlessly worship it)
If that is indeed the reason, I won't blame them. I wouldn't want to upset Microsoft either. If they decide to come after you with an army of lawyers, it doesn't necessarily matter if what you did was legal. And I think it probably was legal in most jurisdictions. Reverse engineering for purposes of interoperability is generally allowed. Of course they could still try to get you on copyright if you didn't do a clean room re-implementation.
> The solution to that is... ... ... denser housing.

No large city in the US managed to decrease prices by building more housing (dense or not) within the last 25 years.

There are several fundamental reasons why density increases won't work.
What is the profile of the average migrant coming into Germany compared to the average German?

The standard need only be more/less educated or qualified, unless Germany wants to remove regulations.

I of course think Germans are not really "productive" in the first place, from what I've seen they only work about 80% as much as Americans do, and output is not necessarily exemplary for time spent (or saved if you will). Americans put in more, and you get out more, and their pay also exceeds top XX percentile for overseas counterparts.

I can only speak to one of the mentioned companies as I worked in this vertical, this has been happening for years across every communication platform. Companies like Symantec, ForcePoint and ProofPoint offer these features out of the box. Setting up rules is as easy as creating a list of keywords or phrases. It is all done under the guise of “treat protection,” meaning if you send a message on teams saying “I’m about to kill this presentation” know a analyst is going look through everything you’ve done in the last 3 months. This includes file movement, internet history, sent messages, emails, screen recordings, and lots of other things. IMO these products are legal corporate malware. In my experience they are mostly used to track people who are about to be laid off.
I've recently started using Lighthouse to test sites for accessibility compliance, and you can easily get a score of 100 without actually addressing all the accessibility issues a site might have. So, if you're not conscientious, you can just point at the score and say "all good" while your site might still have major issues.

I assume the same is true of the other checks Lighthouse does for performance, best practices, etc.

Lighthouse and other such tools are a good starting point, and using them is better than doing nothing, but a thorough understanding of accessibility etc is necessary to create truly accessible and performant sites.
That’s horribly depressing and exactly how I feel.

ultimately, when someone takes this stance what they really mean is that nothing is knowable so you're a terrible person for judging someone as if you know something!

sue me. I think food for someone without food is more important than a middle class person being able to drive a brand new car.

You can manipulate language as much as you want, I will still judge you for that opinion.
