This is a perceived risk only because of the status quo. You're almost arguing for a national or at least statewide zoning policy. This would make the "risk" uniform.

I am now in France and this seems to be the case everywhere: multi-million euro villas next door to apartment complexes. Houses of all styles and with odd-shaped lots. Etc. This is the status quo here and nobody complains. And the prices are as high as in the US, if not higher.

> debug symbols

In ye olden days it was common to distribute a binary without debug symbols, but to keep a copy of them for every released build¹. If an application crashed (panicked, signalled, etc.) you got a core dump that you could debug using the stripped binary together with the symbol file. This gave you both smaller binary sizes and full debugging capability at the cost of some extra administration. I'm not sure if this is possible with "stock" Rust, but if you need lean binaries but want to do forensic investigation it's something to look into.

Capitalism is inherently flawed as it relies on infinite growth in a finite world, to put it simply.
Companies spend thousands of engineering hours building elaborate mechanisms to obfuscate JS, protect APIs, apps, trigger captchas, and hide content, all of it completely powerless against the current gen of AI tools. If a human can read it, a bot can.
The happiest I’ve been in a long time. I’m working on a great product on a great team at my dream company. I picked up iOS development in 2010 and have never looked back, I feel fortunate that I tied my horse to such a stable and lucrative wagon. I’m living in Manhattan, playing piano every day, and attending weddings as I watch my lifelong friends get married. My stress is nonexistent and my health is better than ever; it’s amazing what 8h and healthy food will do.

I’ll propose to my girlfriend in the next year or so and I’ll move back home to Ontario. We’ll buy a little house in the country with a sunny office for me and we’ll fill our home with children and chickens and goats.

There are times I feel I took the easy route, opting for IC at big tech over leadership in the startup world, but laying it all out like this makes the choice seem easy. These days I feel very blessed.

> I think most YouTube channels actually brag when Apple sends them review units. It’s a sign they’ve made it — their channel is influential enough to have been noticed by Apple. Most channels are happy to let their followers in on that.

I'd agree with that, generally. It's also true that in the photography sphere, there's a notable segment who are all about being "self-made", somewhat. That they're so successful. Their videos are "look at my new studio I'm constructing", "look at the six digits of gear I'm casually playing with", etc., to the point that for a few of them, people are quite well aware that photography is almost a sideline or hobby to them, and that their career is "YouTuber" (which is certainly valid)... it's the "when do you actually find time to do shoots?" vibe.

> My guess for what you’re noticing is that there’s also a (in my opinion kinda gross) trend of influencer types buying expensive kit, doing their review, and then returning within the window. In this case, it doesn’t surprise me that someone would spec out a unit well beyond their needs or means, because they don’t intend to actually pay for it.

A lot of the usual misconceptions about KYC in here (that you need ID, or how the government insists KYC is implemented).

I always found the idea of infinitely self improving AI to be suspect. Let’s say we have a super smart AI with intelligence 1, and it uses all that to improve itself by 0.5. Then that new 1.5 uses itself to improve by 0.25. Then 0.125, etc etc. obviously it’s always increasing, but it’s not going to have the runaway effect people think.
iPad 1 was so thick, heavy, and weak that it was pretty anwful and didn’t have a terribly long useful lifespan.

iPad 2 was so good it was produced and sold for years and years and re-packaged into the first Mini iPad.

I’m out for this generation of goggles, but hope we see a similarly-huge leap in quality for the second gen.
The same goes for image generation models, AI art already has a tendency to veer into the same clichés and those are only going to get reinforced if newer models are trained on newer scrapes which now include the million hyper-derivative AI images being uploaded to places like DeviantArt, Twitter and Pixiv every day. Those vendors who got in early have a moat in the form of untainted scrapes, but they'll eventually need new data to keep up with new subjects/styles/etc.
The Hugo awards have been bending knee to politics, various social movements, and general "optics" pressure for probably close to a decade. I stopped looking at them as a source of recommendations a while ago.

Another trashed source of formerly unbiased reviews. Its really simple. Is the book good? Thats all they needed to do. An award for creative writing acting as censor and "rightspeak authority" is the world we live in now.
Yeah—the perfect solution doesn't exist. The problem is that fixed-offset datetimes are very common since RFC3339 and ISO8061 don't support timezone names. The result is that you often end up with fixed-offset datetimes that should instead be linked to a IANA tz ID.
There needs to be strict regulations on U.S. businesses to disallow them from hiring anyone that is not a citizen or on a visa.

The internet is already mostly filled with low quality bullshit though, and GPT-4/Gemini are much better writers than whoever is churning out SEO as we know it now.

It's a lazy argument to imply this 1. invalidates the technological achievement 2. prevents iterative improvement a la the singularity. For one, the Internet itself is not bullshit just because a lot of spammers/hustlers put bad content on it to try to make money. And secondly, you can curate datasets... nothings stopping researchers from training LLMs on shitty SEO now, and if they wanted to they could curate datasets going forward to try to prevent LLM-spam from entering the training sets of future models.

And finally, people already use reputation/identity/branding and proxies for it as quality filters on the internet. For example, this is an unfamiliar blogger to me and so I entered it with skepticism I wouldn't have with people like Gwern or Lynn Alden. Good writing from people like Gwern and Lynn Alden won't disappear just because LLM content exists on the internet - it just makes reputations and identity (eg to a real human) more important.

America is not China.

China built a ton of fake houses all around. America in contrast has too few houses, an influx of immigrants (both legal and illegal), and an entire generation of young 20-to-30s year olds who want a house before they start raising a family.

The houses are clearly needed here in America. Its not like China's Evergrande fake-house bullshit. When my terrible childhood home in the Ghetto is selling for $500,000, I know that there's some bullshit supply/demand issues right now. Okay, the former Ghetto has been gentrified a bit. But thats still causing some knock-on-effects that are preventing new families from moving in right now... No one likes a declining crime-infested area where everyone's leaving / trying to escape from. But the area has over-boomed now and not enough new houses/dense houses have been built, so there's suddenly a housing shortage after 20 years.

Etc. etc. etc. Some areas (Ex: Detroit) have entire neighborhoods of terrible houses that no one wants. But other areas need new houses. The only solution is to consistently build houses as demand comes up.

Never pull the fake bullshit that Evergrande did. But similarly, never stop building houses either. There's a balance here.

Avowing extremist positions is indulging in trolling and unsubstantiative. It is also (con)ceding your position as indefensible and not worth talking about.
Doesn't that just mean he who can get the best human feedback will get the best ai? If the quality of AI depends on not feeding on 'fake' input, the key becomes getting verified real input.

My first thought was that this would create more money in genuine creativity, which would be great. But instead it feels more likely there will be much more telemetry and tracking to determine whether an input is made by you (and thus by a human) or not.

"Only trust stuff that can be traced to a specific human" is a great way weed out non-human stuff. But it requires a pretty effective surveillance system...
If there were stores that were within walking distance I'm sure they would be used more. For a lot of us this isn't true. And often the prices will be higher and with a more restricted selection of items.

I think there's a lot of room for improvement here if we can make use of planning more. Consolidating deliveries, local production of goods, and better transportation infrastructure (for items and people)
I have a strong aversion to ride sharing services after several encounters with dubious drivers (like one wanted to beat me coze I didn't have cash and also was unwilling to let me withdraw from an ATM, had to call the police to resolve the dispute). So fuck Uber / Lyft / Bolt, I'm taking regular taxi service, the one that requires a hard to get license so drivers have some incentive to behave if they are to keep it. Not that they can't switch sides and go ride sharing but these two worlds are like vampires and werewolves, don't usually mix.

And yes, I tip drivers, regardless if regular taxi or ride sharing, that's the decent way to behave. Otherwise get a f** bus.
I code mostly. The quest resolution is not good for that.
The likelihood function is a function of params for a fixed value of data and it is not a probability function.

There is another function - a function of data for fixed params - which is a probability density. That doesn’t change the fact that the likelihood function isn’t.

No, it's not bait and switch. A book store has an index of books they sell, that doesn't mean they're free. I expect a high quality search engine to deliver paid results if they are the best results.

Should Google Maps remove businesses that charge for their products and services from their search results as well?

And Apple has no end of people willing to carry their water on this. With the recent LastPass debacle you actually had John Gruber saying things like:

He also claims, without any way to know, that "it doesn't look like this was made to steal LastPass credentials".

I don’t love it, it was just an entirely fine mouse and the “dumb” thing wasn’t an actual problem. I tend to assume people who use that as their go-to example of Apple letting aesthetics beat function have just never used one and are guessing.

You want dumb design shit from Apple that’s actually inconvenient, losing USB-A even on Pro devices is up there. Not migrating iPhones and iPads to USB-C at the same time as going “all in” on it for laptops. The touchbar. The puck mouse. Examples abound.

[edit] oh man, cases that slightly zap you with electricity under certain circumstances. Cases with edges a little too sharp because that’s the aesthetic they wanted. “Holding it wrong”. I continue to regard the loss of the home button as a huge usability regression. Cables that fray very quickly if repeatedly placed under strain, because they wanted them to be very thin.

There are so many examples of actual problems with Apple stuff.

[EDIT EDIT] OMG those very dumb first-gen pencils with the easily-breakable male port and the dumb, highly-losable cap for it. And you needed an also-highly-losable tiny adapter if you wanted to charge it with, you know, a charging cable.
I suspect not, or at least not easily, since the underlying algorithm is very different (PEG vs GLL).
If it improves at a faster rate than humanity, it pulls ahead even if the absolute speed is slow. That's what people are really more worried about, not instant omniscience.

These days, smartphones and PCs are pretty much critical to function in society.

We accept that those are for-the-most part made in China, despite “funding a dictatorship”, because we realize that we can’t expect someone on median income to pay $3000 for a phone or $5000 for a laptop.

Much as I’d like it to be different, cars are also still critical to function in much of society. We want everyone in EVs ASAP.

Where would one get these good quality cheap EVs, even at some geopolitical cost..

> This is a good reason to charge appropriately for street parking.

How would that solve it? There still aren't enough spots.

If you do unreserved spaces through parking meters or resident window stickers, people are still stuck doing all the same things (circling for hours, getting into fights).

To solve that you'd need to have reserved street spots so people are guaranteed which spot is theirs. So now you have to staff up enforcement and towing so the spots they reserved is available. But wait.. so we're back to dedicated spots, but in a less convenient and more cumbersome way. So to solve that, just have the apartment buildings themselves provide the spot for each resident. So we're full circle back to where we started.

As long as cars are needed (in the US, they are needed) the optimal solution is for each housing unit to provide it built-in, instead of externalizing the problem onto the neighborhood.
What’s the benefit for a neovim user? Meaning I already got LSP, treesitter, it works in a terminal. I cannot think of a reason to even try this.
I tried this. Tried this with my domain as well. Spammers have figured this out. They start spamming random emails on my domain and since there's catch all I do receive them. Randomly generated emails from dedicated services (duck.com, HME etc) work better. I can just disable them and don't have to worry about other random emails. Handling all this on my own domain is going to cost me a lot in both money and time and that'd be a lot of headache as well. Also, almost every body worth their spice and sugar knows of that "+ thingie" on gmail.com. Just saying.
> There is a heavily redacted version of the passport image from the Facebook post in the YouTube video @ 4:00

> Well, instead of sharing a screenshot of the alleged extortion attempt, he shared a picture of Cahill’s passport, with all the details showing

Did they share an heavily redacted version, or all the details?

Sharing an email could run afoul of local laws (it's a personal message, and by default private), however a passport is a government document.

If they did redact some important details, I think it may have been the fairest response to an attempt at extortion by a known drama king: they may have just wanted him to avoid trying to take advantage of others. Then it would not be retaliation, but trying to protect others.

I have travelled a bit, and in poor countries (though certainly not as poor as East Timor, but certainly poorer than the US) I've noticed that people care a lot about fairness, and really don't like it when privileged tourist try to take advantage of their position and the advantage their foreign income brings.

I've also noticed than when you play fair, people play very fair with you: on a restaurant when I had taken only one sip of the wine because I was driving, the waiter noticed AFTER I had paid by credit card, and issued a cash refund for the wine because they thought it was unfair to charge me for something I did not consume - and they did not accept tipping.

Then the next day when I returned the rental car and when I explained I had difficulty finding a gas station to do a full refill (the gas gage was 7/8 instead of 8/8), the refueling fee was waived - and when I took the car, the agent explained me that I should take pictures of the car (so I did!) in case there was any issue because it had a tiny scratch on one door.

Maybe I was very lucky and I stopped at a unique restaurant and Europcar agents are more friendly than others, or maybe people treat you the way you treat them: be nice, and they will reciprocate.
