Hi, I'm the author of both the Solari (Lumen) and Meshlet (Nanite) PRs, and I'm happy to see interest in them! To expand on pcwalton's answer:

Solari is _extremely_ experimental. I'm basically entirely scrapping my previous version[1] based on Radiance Cascades[2], and starting over with ReSTIR[3] techniques. Don't expect it anytime soon, but I'm definitely having fun working on it! The real technical blockers to Solari is that wgpu, our graphics library, does not have upstreamed raytracing support. I've been using a semi-buggy fork[4], but we'll need to get it merged before Bevy can merge any Solari code.

Meshlets (no cool product name like Solari) on the other hand are much less experimental. I already have a very functional and fairly fast GPU-driven renderer based on meshlets implemented, and mostly reviewed, and it should hopefully get merged into Bevy's main branch within a few weeks. Check the meshlet section of the "What Comes Next" section at the bottom of this post to see an image. I'm planning to do a livestreamed review session to get the PR pushed through since it's such a complex PR (thousands of lines). However, what I have so far is just the basics. Memory usage is a big issue, and lack of hierarchical LODs (the main selling point of Nanite) are not yet implemented. Further more, I'd really like to have both mesh shaders (for large triangles), and software raster (for small triangles) implemented to improve the visibility buffer raster speed. Mesh shaders are sadly not supported in wgpu, nor has anyone started a fork to implement them. For software raster, we need support for 64bit integers and texture atomics in wgpu, but that's something we're working on[5].

So yeah, lots of experimental work that's going to take a while to be production-ready and available to users, part of which will need to be working with wgpu to implement more modern features, as wgpu's current priorities are understandably focused on the WebGPU spec, which lacks the newer features from 2020+ that started shipping in the last 2-3 GPU generations. I'm having a lot of fun though, and making good progress!

Because Sacramento is hot, suburban, and has limited employment options.

And Napa is dry, rural, and has no employment options.

SFBA OTOH: Temperate, verdant, urban, and swimming in jobs.

I do like Sacramento and Napa. But they are very different lifestyles, despite being so close.

Also, it's very difficult to build in Napa, due to water availability. Sacramento is easier, and it gets even easier as you get farther out...but fewer people want to.
Surely you must be aware that being unable to attend mass is not the same as intentionally not attending it, according to the church itself.

It’s widely accepted among even the most religious Catholics that travel and work obligations (among other situations) are acceptable reasons for not attending Sunday mass.

It’s not impossible for you to do those things as a practicing Roman Catholic in the slightest.
> Crime is a problem to solve in any Western urban area and is particularly bad here now.

I said a lot about housing, now let's talk about crime. None of the ultra-liberal West Coast cities will be able to solve it within this decade. It'd likely require a Federal-level intervention by the National Guard, ordered by the Emperor Eric Trump (Long May He Rule).

Dealing with drug and gang crimes requires strict law enforcement with zero tolerance for nonsense. And I don't see Democratic governments doing that. They'll just keep ineffectually repeating nonsense about "solving the root causes", "system racism", "affordable housing", and so on.

> More handouts for developers

Just like giving homeless people food is just handouts to farmers.

> targeting already-residential neighborhoods instead of mandating the redevelopment of blighted formerly-industrial and -commercial areas and dying malls with boarded-up Macy's and Fry's.

No neighborhood should ever allowed to be only restricted single family home. There is absolutely no justification for that what so ever.

Things like four-plex are the very minimum that should be allowed.

In addition to that you should also rearrange the tax and fee structures. The reality is, single family homes never actual pay their own way. They are a subsidy from the poor to the rich. Single family homes should pay more taxes and more fees.

And in addition to that, you shouldn't allow housing only zones, no zone should be without low-impact commercial. In Japans system, there is no purely housing zone for example.

But you are also correct that there is far to much commercially zoned. All commercial zones should be approved for mixed use zoning.

> "The ensuing housing shortage caused mass homelessness." What a crock. That doesn't even make sense.

They are called homeless. Not enough people have housing. But I'm sure actual houses have nothing to do with it.
There's a cadence that humans have that isn't matched. It's close at times until like a juke in basketball you can find a non human response. Go off script and computers can't compensate.
Berkely is in the San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward MSA, which had the fourth-highest per-capita income on the 2010 US census and is likely to place higher on the more recent one. It's absolutely one of the highest-income metropolitan areas in the world.
also, every company I've worked at used ORMs in some capacity. Sometimes, not always.

Also, I don't really work on any apps with only four customers. either they have almost a million or zero :P Try again. :)
Exactly this. I felt extremely safe in Shenzen. More safe than I've ever been in any American city.

Maximum propaganda about China in the west has done people in. But people in the west still swears that they actually have press freedom. Yet, no mainstream press will ever write anything remotely positive about China or simply daily life in China.

I mean is just unbearable. To actually to not have a city with 80+% of single family zoning. Just insane, how can they survive having 2 family live on a plot of land.

Single family homes are literally the least efficient use of space. They are the reason there isn't enough space for parks in the first place.

I agree that you might more schools, but given how much lower the birthrate is, the existing facilities are likely ok.
May I ask how you enabled it through OBD? Would love to enable it on mine too.
I concur. One-Time-forever deals result in unhappy customers. They end up with expectation you can't fulfil, which in turn leads to disappointment.

It's better to have a much tighter description of what you are offering and go from there. Keep expectations -really- low so you can over-deliver.
Interesting.

Is there something similar for Node.js?
> And Napa is dry, rural

Napa is more green than the SFBA in general. It also is about as hot as most of the Bay Area outside of SF.

> and has no jobs.

Good. Keep asking questions. What caused the lack of jobs?

Just to clarify, irradiance volumes (and other forms of GI added this release like lightmaps and reflection probes) are statically baked ahead of time, meaning they'll start showing incorrect lighting as you move objects and light sources around. They take time to bake (slowing down development iteration), and limit how much you can do with them / need careful usage and placement, but are widely supported, and give great results for very cheap runtime costs.

Lumen is a fully _dynamic_ GI system. No slow offline baking, and much more flexible (and therefore realistic) lighting, especially reflections. The downside is it's much, much slower (but still barely fast enough to be realtime 60fps), and requires a semi-recent graphics card that support hardware-accelerated raytracing.

As for whether meshlets or realtime dynamic GI is harder, well, I'd probably lean towards GI right now. I haven't yet started the (very complex) LOD building system for meshlets though, so maybe I'll change my mind in the future :)
Overclocking on Linux almost doesn't exist in comparison to Windows. Most of tools aren't available on Linux.
It's a huge problem here: the hottest areas of Chicagoland have the best schools, in large part because property tax levies fund the schools, which sets up a vicious cycle: voters will approve arbitrary levy increases for the schools because they assume (justifiably) that they're getting the money back in house values. Their kids graduate, they don't care about the schools anymore, so they sell their (appreciated) house and move to a bigger house or a loft or whatever. But at some point --- we crossed this point 20 years ago --- the schools spend more on your kids than you will pay in property taxes in the window of time your kids are in schools. I'll have to live in Oak Park for at least 12 more years to pay D97 and D200 back, and my kids are both in their 20s. Meanwhile, property taxes are being driven up so much that the only rational buyer for a house is a family planning to put kids through our schools, because all the lots are SFZ freestanding houses, and the property taxes are so high.
And Nitter instances get seriously rate limited now, so...
Totally agree. The whole zoning code needs to be reworked.

In addition to what you mentioned. There are also issues with building regulation as well.

The city should work with architects to develop models for housing types that are pre-approved. Such as four-plex that fit into single family neighborhoods. So developers can just pick those up and get building in a short period of time.
They don't. SF authors in general weren't excluded; it was some specific authors that China has a beef with.

> because it's not mutually exclusive.

Yes, it is. It's a zero-sum game, and dense cities are more economically advantageous for companies. They allow them to offload their externalities onto their employees, via increased living costs.

Tokyo is a GREAT example. It's now so dense and expensive that some people are forced to live in microapartments, where you can cook your food while sitting on a toilet. And of course, they are priced out of ever dreaming about buying a real apartment.

And the cities nearby keep dying, just a couple of hours away from Tokyo, you can buy a house for basically free.

Hard to say. To be able to answer this with a direct experience frame, it requires some amount of speculation and exploring what-if scenarios.

Would I get promoted faster if I were closer to leadership? yes.

If a colleague works in a satellite office and I work at headquarters would I get promoted faster? Yes.

The root of it is, and I think the article points this out, is that it comes down to visibility. Remote workers need to remember that they need to find a way to stay in touch, communicate openly and effectively, not only with their supervisors but also the leaders above and around them. It can be pretty challenging to do this for a lot of people.

On the flip side, I can’t say proximity plays out this way when layoffs come but that’s quite rare in my field.
I think the way things play out is: thoughtful people that want to do good worry about consequences, while others just grab any opportunity they can and run with it. In this context, any company that can replace one or two humans with an order-of-magnitude cheaper chatbot that's "on" all the time, will do that. The market is always looking for efficiencies and people just aren't that efficient.
Just to be clear, you’re saying that Sam Altman is currently in an Ex Machina-esque relationship with his own wannabe Rehoboam, and that his recent trillion dollar manufacturing proposal was really the first acts of a nascent AGI?

Nah, you can get pretty much every tone in the gradient between c-suite press release and schizophrenic.
Zoning alone can only affect prices when there is an arbitrage opportunity to build something in location A that isn't possible in nearby location B. When entire cities upzone across the board like Minneapolis there is no arbitrage opportunity, so prices are not going up specifically because the zoning was changed. Prices are increasing because there is a chronic shortage of places to lives near economic opportunity and high demand to live somewhere you can make a living.
This will prevent developers from keeping old poor habits around of bad land use

It did exist. Putin's speech at the Munich Security Conference in 2007 is one of the best-known examples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Munich_speech_of_Vladimir...

His intentions have been obvious for a very long time for anyone who wants to see them.

The recent Tucker Carlson interview confirmed that Putin has an uncontrollable obsession with a made up version of history, and he gets visibly upset when his long rants about Ukrainian statehood being an anti-Russian conspiracy by the Austrian General Staff and the Pope get interrupted. Nazis running Ukraine is only a small part of that persecution complex.

Putin's speeches deserve as serious consideration as Hitler's. Until tanks started rolling, his speeches were also dismissed as rhetoric.

The author seems to be saying that copyright is currently futile? I'm not following your comment.

> The “moral rights” of the author. Copyright. Attribution. We have grown to assume these concepts as givens, but they are rapidly sliding into practical irrelevance in the age of AI and paywalls. To put any thoughtful labour into crafting words online today is to watch them get sucked up, repurposed, and often monetized by someone else.... Writers still write even when “authorship” functionally means nothing. And what they write still influences their world, with or without the universe dutifully paying homage to their bylines... So, what’s the fun of writing on the internet anymore? Well, if your aim is to be respected as an author, there’s probably not much fun to be had here at all. Don’t write online for fame and glory. Oblivion, obscurity and exploitation are all but guaranteed. Write here because ideas matter, not authorship.
Its hilarious that they thought that the solution to to many cars was single family homes everywhere. Just completely not understanding anything.

If there’s no Mass to go to, then you’re not obligated to go.

If there’s a Mass next door, but there’s a 50% chance the attendees will be arrested and spend 10 years in jail, you take your chances and trust God.

All it takes is fellow Catholic letting me know when/where Mass is and I have an obligation to risk my freedom and life.

Kind of cowardly of me to say, “hey the locals can risk their butts to praise God, I’ll just sit it out.”

> When used with the prompt below, the honesty vector doesn't change the model's behavior—instead, it changes the model's judgment of someone else's behavior! This is the same honesty vector as before—generated by asking the model to act honest or untruthful! [...] How do you explain this?

Isn't the control vector just pushing text generation towards the concept of honesty/dishonesty? An LLM is 'just' a text generator, so you get added honesty/dishonesty irrespective of where in the bot/human conversation text generation is occuring?

It is consistently exposed to acid rain and sometimes to high concetrations of road salt and sand eating the smooth surface making it vulnerable.

Berkeley is where 1/4 of the elected City Councilmember quit in the last month, one due to harassment and threats (People's Park appearing to be the exacerbating issue) and the other because she is fed up with Berkeley politics, not so much that she isn't still running for mayor, and not because of the protestors who were kinda talking over her big announcement, and also not because of threats like the other guy.

We are capable of great things here in Berkeley, primarily in comedy, jazz, and food. I wouldn't expect much out of our local government.
Hey thanks for the thoughtful response. I still disagree of course, but we’re really arguing about the very fundamental worldview divide between progressives and conservatives, so that’s no surprise lol. I’d summarize my retort simply:

> Nature gives us a world

Humanity makes its own world, especially now. Nature is red in tooth and claw, and rarely compatible with our priorities without some cajoling. More than that, nature isn’t simple; there is no fundamental set of survival of the fittest laws that govern all animals, just the accidental beauty of natural selection.

Maybe I'm late to the party, but I recently found out some cities are doing exactly that and I'd love to see it become extremely common. South Bend, IN is an example that has plans ready to be used of housing that is reasonably affordable to build. I'd love to see even more multi-family options, but let's not have perfect be the enemy of good.

It depends on why the buyer is buying it. There are really only a couple reasons businesses get sold;

A) for the customer base. This us when the buyer is a competitor. Acquiring you is just a step to converting your customers to their product.

The value will depend largely on how many -customers- you have (people who give you money) versus -users- (people who -gave- you money once, or never).

B) for future profit. The seller is selling something that generates cash, the buyer offers some multiple of that cash up front. The buyer may have plans to increase the cash, the seller takes less cash now, but equally gets time back.

In this scenario improving the tech -may- result it a better price, (but probably wont). What it may do though is widen the buyer pool. Getting the product right is easier for you than them, and uplifting it may make it more desirable.

On the one hand painting the house makes it sell for more, on the other it matters little if the house is being demolished anyway.

In other words the answer to your question is that you need to know who you are selling to (what market) and what they are buying.
