Clearly this can be solved with AI and tiny drones with lasers,
rail guns, and flamethrowers.

Or maybe the drones can jump on top of and envelop the bug,
toasting it in a second.

Apparently, ants, cockroaches and centipedes eat bed bug.
None of those seem great to have around the house in great numbers.

Lizards (at least some) also eat bed bugs.
Perhaps someone could rent out lizards.
Would one week be sufficient time for the lizardst to eat them all?
I won’t say I have zero but it’s very few. I can go weeks without seeing an insect indoors.

Github was rate-limiting me from doing just basic searches. I hit them, paging through results too fast, and it times me out. My account is a few years old, but admittedly, it lacks engagement à la social media (favorites, repos, forks, etc).

Anyway, I don't buy Github's excuse that the new search 'takes more CPU power'; this must be to prevent scraping data for LLMs. Have you hit the new search rate limits?
> And you’re entitled to not want to live in a dense urban environment, but you might need to open your mind to the idea that not everyone feels the way you do.

You're entitled to move away from a toxic river that catches fire. But you might need to open your mind to the idea that not everyone feels the way you do. Perhaps some people like to work at the factory that produces the toxic slime.

Urban density is pollution. Its effects are not limited to cities.

By making it easier for companies to open offices in dense urban cores, it ensures that smaller cities are starved of jobs and die. So people are forced to move to ever-densifying areas, driving up the price. This in turn makes it even easier for companies to hire people living near dense urban cores.

Rinse, wash, repeat.

I need the version of this guide that's written for those of us who never hit that challenge in school, but got absolutely clobbered in real life by the fact that most success depends on incremental effort over time, not immediate or last-second success.

People kept telling me it would happen at the next level of schooling, and I kind of wish it had. At least then I might have learned what to do about it without the risk of "failure means I have to live outside."
I love AWK. Its stringly-typedness would make a Javascript programmer blush: 0, “”, and actually-nothing are identically falsey. Numbers are no different from strings representing numbers, like Lua. Somehow, I don’t mind — if you really need to keep your numbers numbers and strings strings, sigilate the value (prepend with #/$) and peel it off with a substr() later.
And it's also appealing to NIMBYs that want to stop all new development after they have their own home.

Every extra hoop to jump through gives extra negotiation points or veto points. Anything that can provide a point of argumentation that allows further delay is a chance to stop a project. Every month of delay is a chance for construction costs to rise, for financing preapprovals to run out, for the builder to get tired of the process and pursue greener pastures.
Why would there be a market for something like this?
LMSYS’ Chatbot Arena (https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/chatbot-arena-leaderboar...) is widely regarded as one of, if not, the most reliable open benchmarks for LLMs. Real users provide prompts to chatbots and then blindly pick the best response. The only drawback is that the leaderboard is restricted to the most popular models and, even then, it can take a while for new models to be added. This is understandable given the considerable ongoing costs associated with continuously updating the leaderboard.

There is also the Open LLM Leaderboard by HuggingFace (https://huggingface.co/spaces/HuggingFaceH4/open_llm_leaderb...) which aggregates a number of benchmarks, some (eg, MMLU) more trustworthy than others (eg, TruthfulQA). There are real concerns, however, that ML practitioners are gaming the leaderboard by contaminating their training data with evaluation data.

There are a number of other leaderboards such as OpenCompass (https://rank.opencompass.org.cn/leaderboard-llm-v2) and Yet Another LLM Leaderboard (https://huggingface.co/spaces/mlabonne/Yet_Another_LLM_Leade...) that I have seen suggested although I personally have found the most success with Chatbot Arena and the Open LLM Leaderboard.

I would also suggest checking out the LLM Explorer (https://llm.extractum.io/), which has all of these benchmarks and more in single location and allows you to sort and filter by a wide range of variables. That has been particularly helpful for me when trying to find models that will fit on my GPUs.

N.B. I am not affiliated with any of the benchmarks and services mentioned above.

Assumedly, implementing the logic yourself for transcoding source content into various encodings on demand.

If you're storing 1080p h265 MP4s in R2 and the client can only support 480p h264 it'll request that but you need to "appropriately transcode" for them.

The alternative is a service that does this for you, like Cloudflare Stream. Upload source video, service handles transcoding and integrates easily with standard video players with HLS or Dash.

Just in case: I am not OP

That sounds pretty awesome. If you have experience with Svelte and this resonates with you, could you explain why?
some notes about pgmq, https://github.com/tembo-io/pgmq, that is on this list. It is built as an extension in Postgres, which makes it compatible with all languages that have a Postgres driver.

There's no 'magic' to it, it uses existing Postgres features so all the performance and consistency guarantees of Postgres are to be expected. Easily gets to 10k+ concurrent reads and writes even on smaller sized Postgres instances, which is more than most applications need.
There’s more to it than housing density (see below). For instance, there are also differences in public transport to spread the area of viable housing. Anecdotally, high rent cities such as New York or London tend to not do a great job at providing reasonably priced and efficient transport to nearby commuter towns or suburban areas compared to many in central Europe, for instance.

On densities, cities like New York, San Francisco, and Seattle (high rents) are comparable or higher in density than larger European cities with the exception of Paris (and I may have missed another). London, Berlin, or Madrid are noticeably lower than New York or possibly the other two US cities as well.

(Naturally, the city boundaries of somewhere like London include many less-urban areas so this doesn’t quite capture exactly what either of us presumably mean, but it’s loosely demonstrative.)
Below is how I retrieve and store podcast feeds from itunes.apple.com. Alternatively I use api.podcastindex.org or api.fyyd.de.

All the podcasts in the collections have .rss/.xml feeds.

Are there any examples of podcasts not found in these collections that have no .rss/.xml feed.

|yy025 \
|(yy084 28 "$x offset=${1-0}";nc -vv h1 80) \
|yy084

The output of yy084 is input to SQLite. For example,

echo k12 educational software|1.sh|sqlite3 1.db

echo select url from t1 where t1.query glob \'\*k12?educational?software\*\'|sqlite3 1.db

Dense housing creates highly walk-able cities with extremely good public transportation. Furthermore, high density foot traffic creates improved economies of scale for businesses. Economies of scale might shift society to one where you don't need to cook at home because good inexpensive food is everywhere. Businesses themselves benefit from high concentrations of skilled workers in more condensed areas. The total cost of commuting for society diminishes. Public works also benefit because more people can benefit from every dollar spent. Dense living lets people take advantage of the economies of scale of the businesses and infrastructure around them.

The end result of dense housing is a highly desirable place to live, in other words, increased demand for housing, locally.

This can be seen in housing prices in NYC, Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc.

So it is not dense housing that makes housing costs drop, it is dense housing built in excess of demand... But incumbent property owners will resist that tooth and nail because if production of housing can satisfy demand, their capital investments (and very often sole vehicle of retirement income) will decrease in value. When a person's wealth decreases, they desire political change. So housing policy that results in lower housing costs is extremely unpopular among those with power (education, money, time, etc.).
Do you have a source for this? Would like to read about that.
Maybe. If you haven't tried it, you could look into Apple's own Direct3D to Metal translation layer from Game Porting Toolkit. It generally gives better results than DXVK chained with MoltenVK.
> How does building dense housing lead to higher housing costs? That seems unintuitive to me.

By creating a denser unit, you're forcing (via economic forces) more people to move closer to denser areas. This in turn makes these areas more attractive for employers, making it easier to do business. This in turn makes dense areas more attractive for employees, so they are willing to pay more to live closer to dense areas.

Result: density increases, and prices rise along with it.

And an additional toxic component: the population is basically not growing anymore. It's nearly a zero-sum game now, so each new dense unit means one more dilapidated house in Kansas as its occupants had to move to find a job.
Where do these nonsense beliefs come from? There's no data to support them. No examples. Nothing?

It's so odd to see such undying certainty without any evidence, and without any clear path to political indoctrination. Or perhaps this sort of political indoctrination was present before mt times? Its just mystifying to see comments like this stated as if people would agree of believe these views by sheer force of will.
Yes, they really mean trillion. I expect it would be the most resources anyone has ever invested into any single goal, even accounting for inflation.
The presented trichotomy between no moderation, moderation, and federated moderation is false.

Moderation can also be accomplished via a user-level web-of-trust system, where each user can choose who to trust as a moderator, and this trust can propagate recursively to the people trusted by the people you trust, and at each level (even when manually choosing people to trust) this trust can be fuzzy (not full trust vs no trust, but potentially something in between those two), and rapidly decreasing the more distant you get from those you've manually chosen to trust. To solve the issues of spam, censorship, and convenience simultaneously, you simply assign to users some moderators on the trust list by default and allow users to opt out of that trust.

This approach is also applicable in the same manner to the similar problem of curation (i.e. choosing what to highlight instead of what to hide), where the same four approaches are also applicable with largely the same pros and cons.
This is one of those situations where people make claims but that doesn't make them valid.

If a multi-millionaire cannot accept a solution that has them living like someone worth 500k, maybe the issue is with them as the vast majority of people survive while being worth far less.

But hey, repeat how you just can't understand what I'm saying, I'm sure enough people will believe that to make it worth saying.

Are you the inspiration for Stephenson's "The Big U"?
All interesting questions, all totally irrelevant.

The entire point of the experiment is to prove that people have different definitions of things and that's why moderation is hard.

But my contention is that "is this a vehicle in the park" is not a good experiment, because there is an easily applied objective rule:

Did it touch the ground and move under motorized power?

> To be a vehicle in the park, it must first be a vehicle.

Sure, but we don't need to explore every possible vehicle. We only care about the subset of vehicles that are capable of moving under their own motorized power. So we only have to determine if it is that subset of vehicle.

Your whole thing about taking gas in and out doesn't matter. If it's in the park and got there using its motor, it's a vehicle in the park.

The storage lot doesn't matter. It's not in the park.

The point is, this is a bad experiment. There is a simple rule to apply. This is nothing like moderating an online community.

It just happens to get to the right conclusion anyway, mainly because people refuse to apply the one and only rule that matters, and want to bring in all these extra rules an assumptions that aren't relevant.

As I said above: about an average number of errors.

I suspect they rely on an automated spelling & grammar checker. Even that should have caught "councourse" but maybe because it was capitalized?

"instate" actually IS correct (my bad) but "institute" would be much better.

The other errors would get past a spell checker.

> Induced demand for housing? Gonna need to see some hard evidence on the time scales, etc.

Seattle: grew the number of units by 25% within the last 12 years. SF: only 5% within that timeframe.

Their price growth curve is nearly identical.

> Housing scales far far far better than freeways. It's easy to double, triple, quintuple, and even 10x or more the density from single detached units.

LOL, no. You have no idea how much city infrastructure costs.

> Freeways don't scale like that.

One mile of subway in Manhattan now costs more than 1000 miles of a 6-lane freeway.
> For example, on LinkedIn, someone may say they were CMO of a company for just three months, and if you take that data at face value, you may think something very bad must have happened for a company to hire and lose such an important role in so short a time.

Although not the main point of the article, this is much better advice for finding high-potential employees who are under the radar than the article that was on the front page a few days ago: ("How to hire low experience, high potential people" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39288669 )

When the last article hit the front page I couldn't believe HN was upvoting an article that advocated for deep-diving into people's personal early life history as a hiring technique. That's like reading the tea leaves for interviewing candidates.

Instead, this article reveals the real secret: You have to be prepared to do some legwork and research, as well as look beyond the obvious. You could go hire a lot of smiling ex-FAANG people with perfectly curated LinkedIn profiles and professional headshots by throwing large salaries at them, but you're not going to get the best results that way. It's also one of the least efficient uses of your headcount budget and those people are almost guaranteed to ghost you in 18 months when someone else offers them a fancier title.

There is a lot of gold waiting to be discovered among people who aren't curating perfect LinkedIn profiles or collecting famous company names for their resume. It takes some work to find it, but it's out there.
"no reasonable user would expect that their actions (…) be private from Apple"
I mean, sure, that's fine. But if you discount the take-home portion - four hours - everything else would still have taken time, because I had to spend time on the phone with HR for the initial screen, and I had to go in for an interview afterwards anyway, and ain't nobody going to pay you for the privilege of interviewing. And if I'm going to spend time displaying my abilities, doing it quietly at home on my own time is vastly better than in a shitty meeting room with two people breathing down my fucking neck.

Do take-homes suck, and unfairly privilege people with more free time? Yes. Are they slightly better than the other asinine bullshit interviewers love to throw at candidates? Fucking absolutely.
It’s Dark!

The question is not where, or who, or how, but rather when
From linked tweet:

> From these and other revelations of the past few days, we know that in Gaza, at least 12 UNRWA employees personally participated in the massacre of October 7th, which involved the murder of 1,200 Israelis along with mass rape, torture, and mutilation. Secretary of State Blinken said yesterday, “These intelligence reports are highly, highly credible.”

> The world also learned yesterday that 1,200 UNRWA employees in Gaza are part of Hamas or Islamic Jihad, meaning actual operatives within the political and military organizations.

> [...] Now, on Friday, Secretary-General Guterres announced that he was “horrified” to learn that members of his UNRWA staff were implicated in terrorism. [...] I am here to bear witness and testify that Secretary-General Guterres [...] could not possibly have been shocked that UNRWA employees are implicated in terrorism.

> Because for the past nine years, and Chairman Smith knows this very well, we’ve been uncovering, publishing, and submitting to the UN, to UNRWA, evidence of widespread and systematic incitement to jihadi terrorism, the praise of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, calls to slaughter Jews on the part of UNRWA teachers, school principals, and other employees.

Not sure what to make of this.

Though again, a reminder that this shouldn't be used to minimize the criminal actions of the Israeli military. While it's evidence that the Hamas has widespread support among Gaza civilians and institutions, that doesn't justify murdering said civilians en-masse, children included. It doesn't justify indiscriminate bombings and pushing them to evacuate to areas and then bombing those areas, it doesn't justify murdering doctors and journalists, it doesn't justify the widespread media blackout, etc.

Still, holy shit.

Eh. Is it a war if only one side thinks so and is fighting, and the other is amused?

Your other reply was deleted - I wonder what horrible things it said?

> And your counterpoint isn't even charitable.

It was a nuanced reply explaining the current consensus position and why the idea that pigs are smarter than dogs is a myth, but you have overlooked and dismissed it because you are viewing it through a very limited binary of right or wring, winning or losing.

If 'winning' a silly discussion on an internet forum means such a big deal to you, then I think you need to reevaluate your priorities and do some self-reflection.

> You're literally the definition of a malicious person.

Nah. All I did was tell you you're wrong and call you out for it, and then you got all defensive and uppity after claiming you provided a source and continued to, and still continue to falsely claim you are correct. Why? Because ego. Nothing to do with me being 'malicious'.

> Thanks. But you didn't need to say this right? What's the point? Again, malice is literally the only reason.

Highlighting your need to have the last word because you equate it with winning. This behavior/need of yours isn't exactly knew to us who have been around for a while now.

> Either way. Finally you are walking away.

After this reply I sure am :)

You're going to come back and have the last word because you need to. I hope it fills whatever voids or gives you satisfaction enough to distract from whatever issues are bothering you.

I'm going to ask that in the future you do as I originally asked and do a little more research and not perpetuate misinformation. I know you are going to need to respond with some retort so you can gain what you think is ground, something about not being 'malicious' or whatever, and that's fine. Say what you need.

But even if you can't admit to it or want to act dismissive in your reply, I hope you will do what I ask upon reflection - please don't perpetuate misinformation knowing, due to ego or any other reason. It can be very harmful.

I won't be replying again, and would ask you never reply to me again or initiate a discussion with me, as I prefer not to interact with people who act as you do.

Take care.
