Housing that is owned by corporations have no price controls. They will charge what the market will bear [1] [2] [3]. Rent increases can and do outpace income increases. Housing owned by corporations is housing that can't be owned by homeowners; when owned by homeowners, they are insulated from rental price increases due to a fixed mortgage.

Your 20% down payment assumption ignore 3-5% down FHA mortgages, accessible to anyone who can fog a mirror (based on their underwriting guidelines). But no mortgage is obtainable if your can't meet the debt to income requirement [4], which most can't because the price of real estate has accelerated so far beyond what wages will support.

Certainly, not everyone wants to be a homeowner. But if you wish to a remain a renter, there is nothing preventing your rent payment from going up until unaffordable, and you end up homeless [5].

It reflects that parents (accurately) deduced that roads were too dangerous, and now keep their children from interacting with them as much as possible. Given everything I've read about the hazards of children especially in the face of oversized trucks and SUVs, if anything, kids are more in danger than ever: both from drivers on the public road, and from their own parents being unable to see them around their massive Suburbans. https://www.nbcwashington.com/investigations/driveway-danger...

As I understand FCC Part 15, devices are not allowed to generate interference on purpose and are supposed to accept interference by design. In the US this does seem to violate Part 15 but if it's small enough broadcast and only at the neighbors speaker, I can't imagine someone actually getting fined for it unless they do it constantly and the FCC is alerted.

I'm a massive Foundation simp (it was a foundational - hehe - book for me and sparked my interest in econometrics and ML), and I found the Foundation show to be fairly acceptable.

The Foundation trilogy in it's original form doesn't really lend itself well to television, as it was a serialized anthology, sort of like a semi-disjointed Canterbury Tales.

When trying to convert that into a big budget prestige television show a la GoT, you will have to make some significant narrative changes.

Honestly, I appreciate it as younger people like me who are derisively called "Normies" were largely turned off to Sci-Fi due to the negative perceptions of older Gen X and Millenial fans (that fat nerd character in Simpsons is sadly too close to the truth ime), and most of the criticism I've seen against the Foundation TV show is largely Gamergate-esque and annoyed that certain characters are women or not white (despite Asimov purposely writing his stories in a race agnostic manner due to his racist editor).

My issue with ChatGPT is that when I get too far into the convo - it forgets context and it doesnt recover acurately in a new thread - so when I am prompting it to correct things, it will run out and get loast or hallucinate.

I think you are both saying that it is OK to use LLMs, but you have to check the output.

It looks like there’s been a communication hiccup or something; I think you are saying that the LLM user should treat LLM code as if it is written by an unreliable team-mate who might copy-paste from the internet, and check it.

Jprete seems to be talking about just receiving a PR from a person who didn’t do that checking and just directly is using the LLM code.

I agree with you, but I think it is worth noting that

The difference here is not in whether or not the trade is worthwhile; you are just talking about two different trades .
Tangent question: These days i struggle with "Is this mobile app made by the actual developer?". How do you handle this scenario?

For example, i wanted to install Bluesky on my phone, if there was an app. The website doesn't link to an app that i can see. Three links, Business Blog and Jobs. I can of course search the Apple App Store, however then i have to verify if `Bluesky PBLLC` is the right account.

What's the ideal UX here? Am i as a user being dense?

I make algorithms that filter RSS feeds and other social media content. You don't need a global view of the system at all to do this, you just need a point of view. That is, if you have a few thousand posts and a thumbs up/thumbs down judgement you can train an ML model that will predict those judgements.

With about two days looking at toots I could make a model that shows you nothing but angry toots about politics or one that removes angry toots (could take down that keyword filter that means I never hear if somebody is having trouble with the transmission in their truck or that Transnistria got invaded.)

The main reason I haven't developed a social media (as opposed to product/service) sentiment model like this is that it would involve looking at a few thousand angry toots. (1) The reason I want it is that I don't want to read those toots, (2) it would cause me great suffering to look at those toots. Social media moderators at companies like Facebook have been traumatized, it's no joke.

If it was my social network, I'd use that filter to put a brake on selfish angry memes spreading so that the pain of one person reading angry toots gives relief to so many more.

I have a model that predicts the probability of a headline getting a lot of comments relative to votes on hacker news: some high scoring headlines in my RSS reader right now are:

Why do women commit far less crime than men?

Checking a bag will cost you more on United Airlines, which is copying a similar move by American

Everyone seems to forget why GNOME and GNOME 3 and Unity happened (2022)

Three of those are clickbait, the last one is a good HN submission. A social media sentiment model can give a larger algorithm a "superego". There are other ways to pursue engagement other than selfish angry memes.
That and it probably also depends on the place where the question is asked, in this case reddit.

The best way to get people to use public transport, is to improve public transport - cleaning it up, getting rid of the stabbings, assaults, murders, homeless people sleeping in the subway would be a good start, not to mention the stink of urine everyplace you go.

This plan just forces the people to whom $15/day is a burden to use the available crappy public transport options and allowing the wealthy to continue to do what they have always done, unaffected by the little people - as usual.

Newer homes tend to have better park infrastructure in my experience. No modern suburb will allow a development without the developer donating some of the land to the city for a park. Older developments didn't have that and so parks are much farther away, and much more likely to be across busy streets. (exurb developments also don't have parks - but when you have enough land for horses you can find room for your own playground)

there is a lot of bad urbanism about new suburbs, but the parks are a bright spot.

> Apple’s dead car project will be survived by its underlying technologies. The company plans to take what it has learned about artificial intelligence and automation and apply it to other technologies that are being researched, including A.I.-powered AirPods with cameras, robot assistants and augmented reality, according to three people briefed on the projects.

It's difficult to get a sense for what actually came out of the car project while it was running. But you can certainly imagine a case where a $1b/year R&D project, at Apple's scale, was giving them acceptable returns to feed into their other products.

e.g. a self-driving electric car presumably involved a lot of work on battery tech, augmented reality (at least at the world-parsing level), and interesting display tech for the windshield, all of which is heavily relevant for many Apple products.

An actual insider gossiping to tell us what directly came from the project would be interesting to see!
A car dealership?

My credit is great (and currently locked), and is probably enough to get a car with a "$0 down" offer, although those often do require some payments at time of purchase. If you can answer the credit application questions and present ID with my name that looks good, you've created a big mess for me.
I'll go out on a limb and say SAE Level 5 (full self-driving) is going to solve this problem. Imagine a world where a group of children has regained all the safety of traveling anywhere their parents will let them. It will reset our current understanding of parenting to where it was 30 years ago.

Well, I don't agree that it's both in the slightest. The FEC attempted to justify prior restraint on speech by making a spurious argument that speech is equivalent to money and is therefore within the scope of its power to regulate campaign contributions. The court ruled that no, speech remains speech regardless of whether money is spent to facilitate it, and is always under first amendment protection.

Further, the problem with unlimited campaign donations -- i.e. actual transfers of funds into the hands of candidates -- is that it creates a situation in which a given candidate might become materially dependent on a specific individual or organization to the point that it creates an entrenched quid-pro-quo relationship that would control the exercise of their duties in office.

But in this case, the complaint of "billionaires spending unlimited money on politics" doesn't describe an instance of that problem at all, because the money is being spent in an attempt to persuade voters, not create patronage relationships with the candidates themselves.

The elections are still up to the voters, and to describe people using their resources to publish their opinions in open discourse as "anti-democratic" is exactly backwards -- creating an apparatus that can preemptively restrict what political information voters are allowed to see is about as anti-democratic as it gets.

> (in a similar, but less extreme, way as total one-party control of the media is)

The closest thing to "one-party control of the media" being threatened here is a situation in which a state body (ultimately under the control of incumbent politicians) is allowed to preemptively curate what information may be distributed by the media. This is the exact thing that the Citizens United ruling put a stop to.

No, it’s both. Autoclave machines aren’t rented, they’re purchased. Then ongoing usage is opex. sterilization equipment is pretty well the core of the hospital (even called the core in some)

> 3) You don't even need a hospital. I've had surgery done in some dude's office. You can start with a room and build up organically if the local demand is there. That is how most other businesses expand. Walmart didn't start with a global empire.

Maybe for a vasectomy it can be done in office, now tell me how a liver transplant can be done. Also if you wait for demand to fit out a hospital, that means people are dying and you’re waiting until enough of them die to decide to expand your hospital.

Also a watch can be an EKG machine? If my Dr pulled out any cheap piece of equipment to use on me I’d get off the table and leave immediately.

That depends on the app.

I have a couple of apps that are out there, right now, that use the Apple iOS notifications system (I write native Swift apps).

One of the apps, is the end-user one. That does not subscribe to external notifications. I only use the notifications system to badge the app icon, if there are things that need to be addressed. The badge is only affected, when the app is being run.

The other app, is an admin dashboard for that app (It uses a server-based system to manage user accounts). That subscribes to APNS, so we get alerted, when new signup requests come in.

The end-user app has a notifications panel in the Settings app, and you can specify that it not badge the app icon, but that makes no difference, in terms of privacy, because nothing is ever sent to the server.

The dashboard app actually registers the device ID, when registering for push notifications. Apple is probably aware of the device ID, and likely uses it, internally for stuff, but as an app developer, I only care about it, when one of the dashboard users signs up for push notifications. In that case, I store the ID into my own database, and use it to send push notifications to the device.

I suppose there may be some built-in OS services, that use APNS behind the scenes, but I'm not aware of them.

But Apple knows where all its devices are, and how to reach them (which is why it's a bad idea to buy a stolen iPhone). APNS is just an exposed SDK, to piggyback on it. I don't think there's any way to avoid them knowing where your phone is, unless you choose to use a [non-Apple] system that doesn't have any of those types of services.

Corporations didn't discover that they can raise prices in 2021. They need headroom in order to do it.

You are confusing the manifestation of inflation (rising prices) with the cause of inflation (more money on the table than hard value underneath it). Yes, rising prices perpetuate inflation (a price-price spiral as mentioned in the research), but the root cause of inflation was not corporations suddenly learning of this new tool called "raising prices". It was a reaction to the unrivaled level of economic stimulus pumped into the economy.

This is from Johnny Mnemonic actually, not Neuromancer. The full section:

I put the shotgun in an Adidas bag and padded it out with four pairs of tennis socks, not my style at all, but that was what I was aiming for: If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I decided to get as crude as possible. These days, though, you have to be pretty technical before you can even aspire to crudeness. I'd had to turn both those twelve-gauge shells from brass stock, on the lathe, and then load them myself; I'd had to dig up an old microfiche with instructions for hand-loading cartridges; I'd had to build a lever-action press to seat the primers-all very tricky. But I knew they'd work.
Spanish has inflectional grammar, which is the one language feature most constructed languages do away with first (with weird exceptions like Volapük that are mostly known for their obscurity) because it's so hard to learn for newcomers.
I remember games that used 8-bit color palette cycling to do tear-free renders in an interesting way.

They would draw the next frame of the game direct to the screen in either the high nybble (4 bits) or the low nybble (alternating each frame).

The color palette was either one of two: one where the same color would be displayed regardless of the high nybble and the other palette had colors chosen where they were the same regardless of the bits in the low nybble.

To be sure the game threw away 256 possible colors to have instead only 16. But when the next frame was being rendered, the user was never aware until, at the very last instant, the next palette was slammed in revealing the new frame (and of course the rendering began for the next).
Mayors usually do not have that kind of power. There is almost always a city council, akin to a board of directors and CEO, or a congress and president/governor, etc.
>It's not even the same genre - how much action is in Asimov?

An entire season of characters just talking about what happened instead of actually showing what happened would be painfully boring to watch.
