I wonder what percentage had my response, which was to read the first question, say Unsuffucient Data, and stop doing the quiz.

There is no such thing as a singular rule. They are embedded in a host of other rules either explict or as (cultural?) assumptions. What is a park, what is a vehicle, what is 'in'? There are domains, like math, where effort is made to be completely explicit, but that doesn't work everywhere.
Some years ago. I am not a native speaker either, so both sides would have been struggling a bit. At least back then, people really didn't want to speak English. Though, in Paris random French strangers on the subway were usually fluent.
Coming from a construction family, this is THE problem with building right now. Material costs going up by an order of magnitude during COVID times (and not really recovering) was rough, but it doesn't hold a candle to the dumpster fire that is regulation.

Permits for everything (some permits are good, some are SO bad), mandates for things that increase cost for marginal/no gains in the finished product, and a ton of red tape/money going to people not involved in the actual work or the quality of the end product. If I, as a builder, have to go through all that bullshit for each house I build, the sane response is that I'm only building expensive houses that take more time but end up being similar $/hr for me, because I end up saving money and time dealing with the regulators.
I think if they were testing my ability to work through misunderstandings in requirements, they would have been decently impressed that I got from "system for selling concert tickets" to "system for giving out random integers" in half an hour. But they weren't impressed, they were irritated.

Edit: Also I don't think a normal product requirements discovery process involves figuring out that you're actually being asked to solve a different problem in a vastly different domain. You shouldn't ask someone to build Netflix while thinking "let's see how long it takes them to realize I meant Twitter."
Cloud providers have done an incredible job creating an entire generation of people who have no knowledge of such things.

$0.09/GB? I guess that’s just what it costs. Expected when you’ve never looked at, considered, or even heard of things like peering and buying transit or even co-location. Enter 95th percentile billing on a gig port for $500/mo or whatever…

Same goes for hardware. Want to watch something glorious? Take someone who has only ever used VMs, etc in big cloud and give them even a moderate spec new bare metal server. The performance melts their brains.

Then they realize the entire thing - colo, servers, bandwidth, even staff is a fraction of the cost.
A US mining firm sued Mexico for billions for trying to protect its seabed
AFAIK laid off Googlers have the option of finding a role in another team instead of leaving the company entirely. So I am sure there are some who have taken advantage of that, but I wouldn't describe that as "hiring back the employees it laid off recently". In any case I don't think that can be cast into any general observation about the state of the industry.
Now I really have to buy one. Any time the government tries to ban something I feel like I should buy it.
> But they claim they are going to achieve a 10^6x

Classics of management, to ask people more then they could, and they will do most possible, so I don't bother much on such claims.

And also this is teambuilding bs, to motivate people claiming impossible targets.

Will see, how Jensen Huang will use all his diplomatic skills and rhetoric art, to round corners, when become clear, that claimed things impossible.

And this is not first time, such things happen, there are near infinite number of examples. I just few days ago read about IBM 7030 fail, which delivered ~1/10 of claimed, and yesterday people remembered me about Itanium and i960.
Likely they are mixing timelines (one time cost or yearly cost with AWS’s monthly charges).

Cisco anyconnect VPN capable appliances (that can do 10GBE) are very expensive, and licenses are per user- so if an appliance needed an upgrade it is conceivable that it could cost $50k in the first year.
You are being hopeful I see, more noise could be the best way to counter spying.
So how is the Chinese military in regards to corruption? We all thought Russia still had a great military, but corruption had rotted them out that even their vehicles were using tyres that were apparently decades old and were exposed to the elements. And worse (for Putin), it gave them undertrained, disillusioned soldiers.

How is it in China, in your opinion? My feeling is maybe the nationalistic propaganda works better on Chinese soldiers than on Russian ones, that they'll be fighting as patriotically as plenty of US soldiers going into Afghanistan...
This is a compelling theory, especially the implication that humans are early. I do wonder whether we should see the evidence of spheres of growing alien influence out in the stars, but instead we see a highly uniform universe in all directions.

This would indicate a few possibilities:

1. Expanding alien civilizations are relatively low impact and don't collect all of the energy of stars in ways that are visible to our current telescopes.

2. We are a very early civilization, civs are fairly rare, and we're relatively alone in the parts of the universe that we can see. Civs that are expanding in a grabby fashion started less recently in years than their distance in light years.

3. Aliens expand at close to the speed of light, so there are a lot out there but we won't see them until they're almost here.

4. Something that we have already noticed is actually evidence of grabby aliens, but it is happening in every direction so we assume that it is a natural phenomenon, because it is so uniform.

At the very least, it seems likely that we either we are alone in the galaxy, or expansion is very slow. The idea of "expanding in a bubble of influence close to the speed of light" seems implausible to me, just because of the vast amounts of energy required to accelerate and decelerate to relativistic speeds, not to mention protecting the cargo in transit--when you're flying at .9c, almost every other piece of matter in the universe is flying towards you at you at .9c. Accelerating tiny nanomachine von Neumann probes might be a solution, but how would they decelerate enough to not be destroyed on arrival?

It's all fascinating to think about, at least.
But it does require thinking about more than just the headline. A lot of people are lazy (I don’t mean that as a moral issue, just literally) and don’t want to think for themselves, so often they simply parrot.
While truth always gets blurry around Vidocq, it's pretty clear his investigation methods, very transgressive since melding with criminals was just something you wouldn't do, just popped a societal barrier. But the funniest about him is that the lifetime of telling credible stories to escape awry situation not only made him a fun story teller, but celebrity pushed him to also tailor his stories in some kind of PR narrative.

Even some books editions goes in length telling you that there were printed and untampered in belgium, implying that some other would be to protect unspecified interests. This kind of victimisation and implied persecution should feel familiar nowadays. The fun part is that it's hard to know if it is legit or not, well like anything that comes from Vidocq.

So, I'm not mistaken, the guy, as crook as he were, if not the inventor, was at least an immense source of inspiration for:

- modern investigation with groomed informants, forensics and penetration (key forging)

- true crime stories

- PR narrative & salvaging reputation
Who defines hampering? I'm absolutely hampered by the plague of groups of parents filling the entire width of trails with strollers 3 across but have no illusions a majority would agree to ban them.
This kind of anti-logic usually goes along with arguments like "well, they keep building lots of units and prices haven't gone down, so obviously it's useless to do anything but enact rent control for current residents and give the middle finger to anyone else who ever wants to live in that place", while ignoring that prices can't go down until we catch up on the literally decades of underbuilding in most US metro areas.

Because with wayland you don't write "just" a window manager - you write also the gorilla and most of the jungle, because a "WM" also has to be full Window Server with handling of input, rendering, display configuration, possibly linking extra virtual displays (still haven't figured exactly what part of the protocol handles it, but apparently pipewire can create virtual display that can be used for example by OBS)
Thank you. I definitely intend to get this together, there's a lot of satisfaction to be had using a device you designed and built yourself.
Thanks, so it's specifically govt run affordable housing. I read OP as the more general "dense cities = BAD" but seems like it's more specifically "govt run plans for dense housing". I can understand that.

Also, yes also agree about more jobs and opportunities more distributed across the land. That sounds good.

I think about my position as favoring walkable dense metros in the more organic manner - people like people - we WANT to be close to one another. And the infrastructure to make that possible, comfortable, affordable, and sustainable.. is great!

The exchange of ideas and tolerance leading to innovation, is a function of dense metros. Is that not just fundamentally...true?
Neither the article nor the comment you are referring to were talking about government housing.

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.
I’d prefer, “Hey, I heard it’s your birthday today, why don’t you knock off a couple hours early and go relax. Happy birthday!”
I thought premature optimization was when you decide to optimize a bottleneck but later end up rearchitecting and tossing it all anyway.

I'd refer to what you're describing as messing around.

I'm pretty sure people have read more perl code than awk code, so they'll roll their eyes but will be able to cover for perl-required tasks, but won't build up the courage to touch the awk.

To me, hell is having to debug perl scripts other people wrote. Based on experiences in the 1998 time frame.
A big part of the problem is that software development has wrapped itself around cloud native. Sure that metal server has brain melting performance for nothing, but try provisioning it or running it. Nobody knows how and we are dependent on stacks like K8S that require an ops team to run.

The industry really found a way to stop the downward cost spiral of personal computing and bring everyone back into mainframe. Moore’s Law is not dead but you no longer see the benefits. The difference is just pocketed by cloud providers who will use the gains to pack more low performing VMs onto less hardware.
Slight inaccuracy. I don't think it autodraws on your behalf right away, but if you repeat it even more(there may also be a setting to automatically claim a draw on 3, not sure). Not sure what the different servers do exactly, but i think based on experience that's what's happening.

There is a little known rule in tournament chess that if a position is reached 5 times, an arbiter can step in and rule the game as a draw without a claim. Usually only comes up in scholastic tournaments and very rarely in blitz tournaments.
So, you went with Pied Piper? :)
Nobody wants to see our faces
I agree. You're probably looking at:

• The cost of two hardware gateways (the depreciation cost, that is)

• The cost of 24x7xNBD (next business day) hardware support

• The cost of the user/session licenses (which might be depreciated also)

• The cost of software support/upgrades
Fertility rates in cities are far below replacement and falling every year. In every country, religious or secular, liberal or conservative, socialized healthcare/education or no. So they are proving simply not capable of sustaining human life.

This only works as long as rural people keep having lots of kids to feed into the city, but that isn’t really happening anymore either.
All that the ray tracing cores do is accelerate calculation of BVH intersections. The rest of the tracing (ie the part that gives meaning to the BVH intersection result) is done via compute, with the RT cores being able to be 'invoked' essentially arbitrarily. This is in contrast to the way graphics cards used to be, where you had certain stages for certain things, designed specifically around producing graphics, making the 'graphics' part of the name hold more weight than nowadays.

I'm not sure if you're asking if they're used for a compute application or if you're asking if they can be used from the same execution path as 'compute' code.
Based on human history, wouldn't the rate of technological growth eventually start to skyrocket during/after some revolution? And with better technology comes better/more expansion.
They provide there being someone to rent from.
If height limits were raised with zoning for multi family housing, those investments would sky rocket faster than under NIMBY
Fewer and fewer rules have discretion. Automated cameras, LLMs, plea deals, minimum mandatory sentences, zero tolerance in schools.

Relying on people to do the right thing fails. American government got two good centuries out of "assuming good intent" before the lack of written rules was weaponized. In a perfect world we wouldn't need an explicit code of conduct for supreme court justices, but we are not in a perfect world.
Restrict yourself to trains for a while. Things get a little simpler.

Yes, the purpose of the COP system (climate change Conference Of the Parties) is to cause tens of thousands of flights and hotel stays, and the consumption of tons of conference food.
> A single person making $70,000 would qualify for a one-bedroom for about $2,000 per month. A family of four making $100,000 would qualify for a three-bed for about $2,500.

So not what most people would consider "affordable". It's "affordable" because it's currently affordable to people making below the area's median income and is deed restricted. It's nearly-market rate housing.

And that's a good thing! We need more housing of all kinds for all people.

>ED1 is not going to end homelessness in LA. (Though some non-profit developers — including the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which spends millions of dollars advocating against housing policies like ED1 — are using the law to build affordable housing for the formerly homeless.)

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation is mentioned in a throwaway line, but it's truly one of the most bizarre parts of the housing discourse in California. It's a non-profit organization controlled by Michael Weinstein, who uses the organization as his personal slush fund to sue housing development that would block views from his office and his personal home, and sued to block any development in the city of Los Angeles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIDS_Healthcare_Foundation
I was never excellent at this game, but used to play it and listen to podcasts, etc.

One of my favourite things to do was play single player against a particular AI that would spam out hundreds of buses. It would always quickly take the lead, so I'd set up my own bus routes, then order all my buses to stop in the middle of the road at once.

This would lead to massive gridlock, effectively denying the AI profit while its operating costs dragged it to bankruptcy. When it went bust, I'd buy out the company, then allow my (now) hundreds of buses to move again!

Phones will be slightly better than they are now. They will likely have some custom ML chips for on-device LLM type stuff. Yes, unfortunately LLMs will be regulated and neutered to shit. Our dream of AR glasses still will not have materialized. Self driving cars will finally become more widespread, available in most major cities, but all the hype will have died down and nobody will care. Crypto will still be around and the people pushing it will be as annoying as ever. The big tech companies will become even more integrated with the military-industrial complex. I'd guess we are likely to see some pretty crazy biotech innovations too, I'd guess that by 2030 there will probably be startups that you can pay enormous sums of money to for your children's protection against genetic diseases via CRISPR or similar technologies.

The severity of pain of a life event changes with the skilld of a person. 2 children playing and one starts crying because the other broke their toy, is that less intense than an adult breakfing up with the lifelong partner?

The answer I thought was yes and over time came to realize that it's probably no.

Lieutenants Are the Limiting Reagent
Devil's advocate: induced demand. Density increases interactions which are the economic point of cities, and why cities are wealthier than suburbs/rural areas (when suburbs/rural areas aren't juiced by subsidies and loans). Wealthier cities attract migration, migration increases demand for units.

That said, my personal belief is that prices are completely decoupled from demand and are more reflective of a desperation to keep them high for... other reasons.
I wonder how well you can train a similar model on a finite number of outputs from a poker solver to output answers for any poker spot in general.
You're missing out then. That's the assumption being made in the paper and they take it as far as they can while sticking to some semblance of reality. Very interesting ideas in here.
The Usage of Embedded Linux in Spacecraft
If living in a denser place turns out to be more desirable due to better jobs and/or amenities, the demand effect can be so strong that it more than offsets the increased supply. But that's actually a very good thing; it means that dense housing is unlocking even more value than you might have expected it to.

Constants are the simplest assumption. It's a "first round" of modeling that lets you start having philosophical thoughts on the implications. You can always increase the complexity of the model after. If you don't hold some parameters constant, the model quickly becomes too complex to be of much use for philosophical questions. In reality, a civilization can expand with exponential acceleration, deceleration, or shrink. I didn't even think this the worst of the assumptions. The fact that expansion stops as soon as a civilization meets another seems silly too. As we know, civilizations love nothing more than respecting borders and not conquering each other. But again, it can go either way, so they chose the middle assumption.

I am expecting the reviewer to spend a moment at least searching their own store for LastPass, in addition to searching Google and checking the credibility of the submitter. Why, pray tell, do you think the reviewer even deserves to exist if they cannot block this sort of scam, due to something as trivial a reason as "they hadn't personally heard of LastPass"? There is a good reason why the FTC has finally decided to call bullshit on companies like Apple who claim their centralized closed ecosystem and resulting anti-competitive market manipulation is "required" for safety / security: you even used to work for Apple, and are essentially admitting they can't possibly do this function!!

Evil doesn't hand out gold stars for attendance. When a war criminal beams a spotlight of praise onto someone, it's not because they're dazzled by their moral compass; it's more like they see a bit of themselves, or rather, something exploitable that aligns with their nefarious schemes. It’s the dark mirror of endorsement—'I like how you think; it reminds me of, well, me.'

It's not about falling for a logical fallacy; it's about recognizing the dance floor where these accolades are given. Evil's endorsements don't come from a place of benign admiration but a strategic calculation of how such qualities or actions serve their agenda. To ignore the context and implications of such praise is not only ingenuous but dangerously naïve.
