So if it's at the "core of American business/society" it has to have always been there, right? Is it only a problem now or was it always a problem? If it's "core" it has to have always been a problem, right? If so, how do you square that with the history of America's successes?

Building a level in the Bonsai Voxel Engine [video]

UC Berkeley researchers "identified zoning reform efforts in more than 100 municipal jurisdictions in the U.S.," according to the article. It also says there's even entire states changing zoning laws -- including California.

"And the national housing picture is starting to change. At least half a million apartments were completed last year, and nearly 1.7 million housing units are currently under construction. Rents are starting to level off."
FM has more bandwidth per channel, so better sound. And stereo. Doesn't matter much for talk radio, but it sounds like this station was mixed music/talk?

Some modern listeners don't even know what AM stations are.

AM has better propagation (lower frequency), but inherently more noise (amplitude modulated).
I really need to get my head across some of these things. I've been meaning to also look into https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/tproxy.htm... (in regards to udp(quic)/ztunnel-esque behaviour). This will serve as a great reference, thanks.
Generally right, but also we don't know what war actually looked like. Here is footage of two traditional tribes at war in Papua New Guinea in 1963: https://youtu.be/JI4uirwxx1Y?si=ej9v6bdYX7y8i7Yv

War could have been anything ranging from killing everyone to two groups tussling like soccer hooligans until someone gets hurt and one group backs off.

I just watched the show and though I'm sure it's got quite a bit of embellishment, anything I've read in the past made the yakuza out to be about the level they're shown in the show (have some power within their local communities, but not much in government unless they can blackmail someone via prostitution or otherwise).
The coding paradigms that Modal imposes make it very hard to develop for, in comparison to, say, Replicate or Runpod.
> we are not more "monsters" than all the other animals

We’re not. But the chimpanzee-bonobos violence disparity, together with our eradication of the Neanderthals (with some interbreeding) seems to point to humans being, naturally, on the more violent end of the spectrum.

That isn’t immutable. But it means our tendency to be angry and vengeful is probably too high; we should be mindful in trusting those emotions.
According to the comments there it seems the console is downloading the bulk of the game from the online servers rather than off the disc, when connected to the internet, rather than waiting for the disc installation then downloading patches.

So I suppose for the users affected their connection is slower than pulling off the disc.
There is no "most effective" treatment because cancer isn't one thing.

Chemo is effective for a few cancers but not for others. Immuno might be the most effective for those. Or chemo followed by immuno. Maybe it is CRT (chemoradio).

Or maybe there is no systemic treatment and all we can use is surgery and then maybe RT.
It’s a genuine miracle that human society functions. How do we have schools, hospitals and joy given all we are? I have no idea. But I’m deeply grateful.
Western respect for the law has more nuance than it first appears. It is unquestioning respect for whoever says what the law shall be. Or maybe: once something is law it cannot be questioned.

Example 1: the Bidens very conveniently charged the source of corruption allegations with making a false statement. The man very conveniently just happened to travel to the USA just in time to take the fall too. Everything about this story smells fishy, and yet if you say this out loud to an American you'll be accused of every sin under the sun (I'm sure the downvotes will prove my point).

Example 2: COVID restrictions were over the top and did more damage than good. There was no significant difference in death rates in communities with draconian measures and those without. However, try saying this out loud - and you'll be branded all sorts of things. Anti-science. A deplorable. A fascist.

Why? Because the people in charge said so and Americans believe the people in change by definition.

> never get close to it again after.

The problem isn't whether they can get close to it again, the problem is that for some people, addiction is connected with using an external means of dissociation to obtain instant control over feelings without relating to them on their own terms.
there are ways certainly to return to peace but it's a long and narrow road through your own self's karma. karma is not outside. it s a power sticking to your consciousness which exists by propagating itself and being reinput back into your consciousness through your behavior by modifying your vision to see what was rather than what is. actually opening eyes to reality and accepting it is said to be curative and the thing which can suppress and eventually stop karma. it seems to simply die out when it cannot act. at that time it's explained that your consciousness becomes able to experience nirvana (peace) in connection with the world of origin. some of key things arent well understood by most students of Buddhism anymore. even though someone experiences peace once they have still yet to find out what condition can cause the true rest, which Buddha explained near the end of his life reluctantly.

karma can be made, for example by telling lies, by grudge, and "attachment" in the sense of idealism
Founder of Modal here. We've spent a ton of time on this, including building our own distributed file system optimized for low-latency high-througput workloads. We don't use K8s or Docker and built our own custom infrastructure instead.

Cold starting containers quickly is a fascinating problems. We've gotten a long way but there's still a lot more to do. For GPU-based inference, starting containers isn't enough – you also need to initialize the model GPU quickly. We are working on a long list of things that will bring down cold start latency even further.

Not evidence per se, but suspicious, and casts doubt on their earlier conclusions.

There's plenty of coincidental and other high suspicious things, but if there were hard proof it wouldn't be much of a controversy.
> 7M people died from COVID so far.

In terms of QALYs lost War in Ukraine is most likely worse.

Every premature death is a tragedy, but death of a 20 year old is much more tragic than that of an 80 year old.
I'm genuinely surprised to learn that WWII had more casualties than WWI. I had always thought 1 was worse due to the trench warfare.
Could you provide why not? I have a utility library (Project A) and whilst messing around with TurboRepo, I noticed I could point to the source files in my package. I haven't progressed down that route, but something about it seemed nice.

So in other words, if Project B depends on Project A, either I could build Project A and then build Project B or I could just build Project B (which consumes Project A as a typescript package).

Kinda confusingly written but I would love to know why that is an issue.
Most of 1941 was spent rearming. People had “war jobs” as early as 1938.
Why do it at the high level if the protocol supports it? Especially in an automotive system where you don't need to worry about rogue configurations as much.

In TCP, for packets without the urgent bit set, you could include the real size of the data in the urgent pointer field. The sender could occasionally send a local max MTU packet with at most the detected path mtu of data. The receiver could send a return indicator to confirm the received length if the urgent pointer field was set.
Even pagers were a luxury, unless you were a doctor or a drug dealer or something like that.
A former member of the Goto-gumi recounted the murder as follows: "We set it up to stage his murder as a suicide. We dragged him up to the rooftop and put a gun in his face. We gave him a choice: jump and you might live or stay and we'll blow your face off. He jumped. He didn't live."

Care to read my other comments?
This is interesting. For me it seems like me not reaching out for books is a consequence of lazy "rotation", i.e., these are the same books I'd eventually find time to read if I could see them around often enough, so when I have some leisure I don't forget about them.

Anyway this is our (my wife and mine) hypothesis - so we are currently working on rotating books, let's see how that works out : - )

Most athletes haven’t been obese, and many body builders are taking supplements highly likely to confound studies.

None of this comes anywhere near to countering the study’s finding that having been obese fucks your satiety for a long time.

Agreed. Rag isn't ideal for every scenario. Putting the contents of the menu in the prompt could even be feasible with a smaller model.
I do not think so. First of all, the license is clear that it is a “copyright license”. In my view, that calls out the distinction from trademark by exclusion. It would not be a reasonable interpretation to assume a trademark license unless trademark is explicitly mentioned and even less so when the license is explicitly described as a “copyright” license. The license defines “The Software” and, again, I see no reason to infer trademark as being part of that definition.

The license also requires you to include attribution and to declare the copyright of the licensor. So, while you have access to the software, ownership has clearly not transferred. You have a copyright license ( that has to be declared ). Nothing more.
> Physical menus are fine. They do the job. But if we're looking to actually improve upon them, current approaches miss the mark. They offer limited interactivity and flexibility.

Sigh. Am I the only one who likes to hold a physical menu and browse it? I never go into a restaurant knowing what I’m gonna get… I like to see how the menu is themed and decide from there. The UI on a physical menu is a vast improvement over any digital menu I’ve seen.
Exactly. And a nuclear plant does not change the ecosystem like all those other things you mentioned.
NX is a double-bladed lightsaber. I love it when it is working. The problem (and I say this with appreciation for the difficulty of the task) is there are too many bugs. Bugs in your monorepo tooling are scary and dangerous, especially for young or lower-maturity shops without very comprehensive QA.

A few months ago, I managed to get all the way to final production artifact verification on an iOS app after a casual NX upgrade and multiple major monorepo-level commits to discover that the "fileReplacements" configuration for the application environment variables had stopped working. Boy did that ever stress me out, because that would be a disaster to release, and it is so low in the tooling stack that you can be lulled into expecting that sort of thing to just...work because the team supporting it understands the consequences of a breakage in that sort of functionality. This is the type of bug that results in incidents that developers write their "it-finally-happened-to-us" blog posts about. I mention this because it was a particularly memorable incident for me, but there have been other bugs that were less dangerous and more just unpleasant, but any failure to properly compute affected packages in a production build could get very gross. This feels like a memory, but it might just be a fear.

I still voluntarily keep NX and like a lot of things about it. The engineers seem to care a lot and have made some impressive features. But I stay on my toes, and my attitude has shifted away from excitement about the latest-and-greatest to a focus on keeping my options open and minimizing lock-in.

It feels like the NX decision-makers are trying to do much, too quickly. They are building and releasing with notable speed. How many production releases are there for each NextJS production release? And NX is at a lower level of the tooling stack, with a far broader range of integrations. I state that merely as an off-the-cuff anecdotal observation, not as some greater opinion on release cadence. But this does feel like "a more releases, more bugs, wrong area of the tech stack for that" type of situation.

History is brutal.

If the native group's genetics don't get eradicated. The alternative can be just as grim. Often, the winners genetics in a person can be the result of wide-spread rape of the native population after the native males were slaughtered.

Today's evils were ancient history's most peaceful methods for resolution. Colonialism and Slavery were merciful. On some occasions, explicit class/caste systems allowed the losers to continue living as the underclass. Mass exile to barren lands came with famine & drought, but at least a minority surivived and maintained self-governance.

The world has civilizationally come a long way from then, thank god we did.
Interesting, seems like control vectors could reduce the need to fine-tune a model.
When people say things like that you know they aren't spending their own money.
Years ago, I worked for a startup that was trying to build a recruitment platform. We fed résumés into a few different SaaS résumé parsers, but the results that we got were generally unsatisfactory. They worked perfectly on maybe 5-10% of the résumés. The rest of the time, we would see some bad results, ranging from minor errors to total nonsense. Maybe AI will make these systems work better and produce more consistent results, but... hey, why are you laughing?

Anyway, a lot of these parsers resembled prototypes that could be solid systems if additional work had been put in, but this additional work had never actually been put in. My favorite example: one parser reported that a lot of the résumés showed experience with storage area networks, even though most of our résumés were from nurses. Hmm. It turns out that a lot of the résumés were from San Francisco, and the parser saw "San" and said "Hey, San is short for Storage Area Network!" This is stupid on several levels, but this is what goes on with these tools.

More recently, I applied to a job opening that was on one of the ATSes that are popular today (I don't remember which one). When it analyzed the text in my résumé, it determined that I worked at a company named Software Engineer. Oddly enough, it couldn't figure out what role I held at that company. These are tools that people pay money for, and they can't figure out that Software Engineer is a job title and not a company. It boggles the mind.

So if you apply to hundreds of jobs and you keep getting rejected, keep in mind that a lot of those rejections are because of nonsense like this. You'll also understand better why so many people advise you to look for jobs through your network. Your former coworker Bill will be able to explain who you are and what you worked on, while that newfangled ATS that just got another $10M in funding may look at your résumé and just get confused.

This is the difference between theory, and practice - pretty clearly here.
And in a global economy, that is much easier to do because there is no common power to enforce otherwise.

And where you go tends to define the people that are there.

What do you say your relative odds are of finding someone who isn’t a drinker at a bar?

Non-zero for sure. Also, not super likely as compared to a park or supermarket, eh?

So if you were going to find someone who wasn’t a big drinker (it mattered to you), hanging out at the bar all the time might eventually work out - but would be a pretty round about way of doing it, eh?
> Google is no more permissive about games and in app purchases - where most of the revenue comes from…

Yeah they are. For one, you can bypass in-app billing altogether with third party app stores and side-loading. They are also permissive on cloud gaming beyond Apple's minimal "reader app" exemption, which is why Microsoft has an xCloud app on Android and hasn't planned one for iOS.

> And neither of those pay the “Apple tax” nor do most SaaS products.

Not sure what "neither of those" refers to, if you're talking about Instagram and Threads avoiding the Apple tax, they do so via ads, but Apple is going after that as well.

Most SaaS products that charge a fee to consumers do get hit by the Apple tax. Most services don't have the mainstream familiarity like Netflix and Amazon do to hide billing from the app.

> Again 90% of App Store revenue comes from games and in app purchases, why wouldn’t they be motivated to avoid the “Google tax”?

I feel like I'm repeating myself: because Android is the smaller platform in terms of revenue and therefore the ROI on moving to web just for Android is not great.

> Cross platform games don’t depend on using native UI elements. Java swing and the other cross platform frameworks are not targeted toward games. But you knew this and are being pedantic.

Cross platform apps don't need to depend on using native UI elements either. I'm not sure why you mention that Java swing doesn't target games, it's obviously not the only cross platform framework, the cross-platform frameworks that games use are obviously enough since so many games use it.
They can be recycled; currently at a cost of about $18/panel, which isn't great (landfilling is cheaper), but there's reason to think that cost can drop some as they improve the process.

The nice thing about them is that they're pretty simple compared to a lot of modern electronics. More hope about recycling them than piles of old computers.

It wasn't limited to executable files. All files were split into data and resource forks. As a bare minimum, the resource fork would define the file type. Without it, the Finder couldn't figure out which program to open the file in. A lot of software couldn't even open its own documents without the resource fork, sometimes because it couldn't figure out the file type and sometimes because it used the resource fork for its own purpose (so the document would be corrupted).

Unlike many people, I think the resource fork was a good idea. It structured files in a consistent way, and they were easy to examine if you had the right tools. The shortcoming is that there was not standard way (or maybe too many standard ways) to transfer files between systems intact. There was too much risk of important data being lost because the system you were transferring the data to (or a system you were transferring data through, or the software you were using was configured to ignore the resource fork) didn't recognize the resource fork or its encoding.

(It is also worth noting that a lot of file formats tend use something similar to resource forks these days. Resource forks are a bit like using zip files as a wrapper in, say, ODT and ePub files.)
