Even competitions of chance have skill components (unless they are completely random) and competitions of skill have chance components (who do you get matched against). Even in chess, two players playing against eachother will not always have the same outcome, it's not completely deterministic.

Because you do that, and a decade goes by and you need 50,000 homes again to meet demand, and then what? Its better to put in a mechanism from the start that will allow for this many homes to be built to meet demand. In most high demand markets, they are already built out to the limits of the zoned capacity and cannot add much of any new units of housing until zoning limits are eased. Zoning is the real low hanging fruit here. Back that off and the market will start to right the ship before long building capacity to match demand incurred by job growth.
Change doctors. Don't reward abuse or failure.
Honestly, I wish I could pay my doctor $25 after insurance and get a prompt response from him to an e-mail. That would be incredible.

As things stand, I have to call. He doesn't take e-mails. If I have a quick question, I can schedule a virtual appointment. There is usually a 2-3 month wait. The appointment is scheduled for a day, not a time, and is limited to 15 minutes. They'll let me know the time about 30 minutes in advance, and it could be any time of day. If I miss or can't make the video call, it's usually another 2-3 months before he has availability again. There are no other doctors with the relevant specialty nearby, so this is what I get.

Epic says Apple will reinstate developer account
This is overengineered. We do not need that much entropy and entropy is easy to collect from within the chips themselves.
part of the problem is Airbnb though. We have 'investors' owning multiple properties and operating Airbnbs against local laws which does in fact decrease supply.
It's a server, so the goal is to have it run something you care about (whatever that may be) 24/7, not because you cannot live without it, but to get experience with administrating a server.

In contrast, your dev machine may need to be rebooted any time, or switched off if you leave for the weekend.

A second defining characteristic of a homelab is that part of the rationale for owning it is in order to tinker with it, to try out new software packages, to play with tools & concepts (VMs, containers, admin and remote admin tools, KVMs).

Ultimately, you may define a homelab as a "physical server setup for learning and for running personal services". Homelab operators may also take pride of the independence from large IT or cloud providers attained by operating their lab.
It costs a lot less to publish a paper compared to replicating a study.
Arize is a great tool for observability, and their open source product, Phoenix, offers many great features for LLM evaluation as well.

Some key unique advantages we offer:

- Component-level evaluation, not just observability: Many great tools on the market can help you observe different components (or execution steps) in a GenAI system for each data sample. What we offer on top of that is the ability to do automatic evaluation and have metrics for each step of the pipeline. For example, you will be able to have metrics on the accuracy of agent tool usage, precision / recall for each retriever step, and relevant metrics on each LLM call.

- Leverage user feedback for offline evaluation: We allow you to create custom metrics based on your past user feedback data. Unlike predefined metrics, these custom metrics are trained to learn your specific user preferences. In a sense, these metrics simulate user ratings.

- Synthetic Data Generation: Large amounts of synthetic data can help you stress test your AI system beyond your existing data. They also come in greater granularity than human curated datasets and can help you test and validate.
I agree that supply is the real problem, but not because there's not enough physical units. I feel like governments need to either ban or very heavily tax owning residential property that you don't live in yourself. Just building more units without actually increasing capacity of the infrastructure to support more people isn't the solution imo
Tourism is the ONLY industry for many regions... I recently lived in one. Without it, the areas would likely not exist as places to live at all.
> I disagree. While quality is subjective popularity is different to quality. Otherwise we would only have marvel movies.

I disagree on two fronts. First, given I responded to "> because authors prefer to be paid for their labor", I think the economics are the key, rather than the artistic merits. The authors and artists suffer economically purely on the basis of the AI doing their work for less, not on the basis of actual artistic merit.

Second, the subjectivity of artistic merit means different people like different things. From a market perspective, this is why horror films get made even though they disgust people like me, it's why kids films get made even though adults outnumber kids, and it's why RomComs exist despite the stereotype of men cringing at them.

You are however correct that it assumes no marketing exists to manipulate the best seller lists. But the marketing is also being outsourced to AI, and I suspect there were more writers writing copy than writing novels and screenplays. Now? Now I'm not so sure, though I'd guess it's still true.

I can sympathise with you about other people thinking you're just virtue signalling with your book collection. What I meant more along the lines of how War and Peace has a reputation for being a book that people like to claim to have read but actually have not, or how many loud atheists state that only atheists have read the bible and that's how they ended up being atheists, though in either case I don't know how accurate the reputations are.
We just seldomly build housing to the point where it reduces prices.

Building housing to meet demand will reduce rents.

They did it in Austin already.

It's doable, but for some reason Liberal areas in the US just cannot figure it out. Particularly California.
I love your vision and am excited to see the execution! I've been looking for exactly this product (postgres-backed task queue with workers in multiple languages and decent built-in observability) for like... 3 years. Every 6 months I'll check in and see if someone has built it yet, evaluate the alternatives, and come away disappointed.

One important feature request that probably would block our adoption: one reason why I prefer a postgres-backed queue over eg. Redis is just to simplify our infra by having fewer servers and technologies in the stack. Adding in RabbitMQ is definitely an extra dependency I'd really like to avoid.

(Currently we've settled on graphile-worker which is fine for what it does, but leaves a lot of boxes unchecked.)
Perhaps they bother other people when you do it to them. Do their preferences not count?
It's my experience that housing exists on a spectrum, rather than being strictly for business or tourism or long-term living. Any space that could rent furnished apartments by the week to business travelers could also be renting unfurnished by the year to residents. I've seen hotels turned into apartments and the reverse.

Housing, like money, is often fungible. It's not something we should expect to strictly classify away into wildly different categories in every case, even if this is pretty convenient from a governance perspective.
> You do not really worry about what would happen if all the grossly

But I do. I care about them as people. People who have families and
need a job. I'd rather help them to not be grossly negligent than
see them fired (and probably worse idiots take their place since we
are in a major skills crisis right now).

The world is getting complex faster than anyone can track. Tomorrow it
could be you, or I who is getting called on gross negligence because
we can't follow it. So I choose to be a teacher even though telling
people the truth is getting REALLY F**ING HARD these days - cos no
one wants to hear it.

I am not so confident. Apple has a lot of Senators and Members of Congress on its payroll. This could easily lead to the U.S. government putting considerable pressure on the EU to ease-off on Apple and the regulators de-clawed. This might likely be accompanied with lots of media articles and talking points about terrible EU regulations that are suppressing good & successful U.S. companies.

Picked a friend at SFO and headed back into the City to see a concert at SFJazz. Google routed us directly the "problem area" where I was delighted to observer a man jacking off into the side of a building on a public side walk. Welcome to SF.

Was called up to jury duty. Got dismissed. Walked back to muni through the "problem area". Passed 2 individuals receiving Narcan from EMTs on market as they convulsed on the sidewalk. Was met by 2 individuals cooking something in a spoon as I descended into the Muni station.

I do not go down that way often. Those are 2 of the last 4 trips in the past year. Sadly FoxNews is correct in some respects. I do not know exactly why this is occurring but I still love this city and intend to contribute to making it a great place to live. It still is in many respects.

Adding a financial incentive to continue harmful practices is NOT a good thing.
But the point is that the tooling to do this is non-obvious. The same issue exists for all these kinds of archives— container image layers, ISOs, VMDKs, debootstrap outputs, etc. All of them are things that should be possible to just emit directly into a user-owned archive, but often require mounts, overlays, chown, and who knows what else.

Another related one is about installing grub into an archived filesystem or disk image. Should be trivial, right? But most instructions for this require mounting it, which immediately means you need SYS_ADMIN and therefore a privileged container in your CI setup.

Airbnb is the tool. Tools enable and incentivize certain behaviors. Also, it is a matter of degree.
Canada is in the top end of the OECD when it comes to building housing. The problem is that the rate of new house construction has been severely outpaced by population growth. Canada has the highest rate of population growth of any developed nation and it is largely spurred by immigration.
Yeah I barely use airbnb - its almost always more expensive than alternatives. I do use it for discovery then go off platform for better spots. It is a premium service provider with a mixed quality outcomes and airbnb rakes in a lot of fees.

That said, the defense of this thread is entertaining. I don't know how anyone can honestly say that airbnb doesn't impact housing supply. Its the equivalent to saying that the earth is flat.
So I guess the idea is that you do your experimenting and iteration with this, then plug the config into your app?
Go run vs. compile time dependency injection
As I understand it, the government sets targets / limits for immigration, and sets goals for housing. While the latter may be somewhat informed by the former, these two goals are not mathematically linked, and if housing construction falls short of the goal, that's just treated as an "oh well, we'll try again next year" scenario. I agree that "unhinged" is dramatic, but I would say this is not very coordinated or effective.

A more direct method would be to apply hard caps to the following year's immigration numbers based on the previous year's actual measured housing completions. I think this would much more powerfully align pro-immigration interest groups with pro-housing-construction interest groups, resulting in much more home construction, whereas presently there is substantial conflict between the two (especially landowners who benefit from rising demand for scarce housing).

Tires are a wear item. They get replaced often, by the airline maintenance personnel. On this >20 year old plane, it's far more likely to be United's issue than Boeing's. I'd expect United to see a share price hit if anyone did.
It for sure has some aspect as a PR piece to drive interest in the upcoming Europa Clipper mission, but it also has strong significance to members of the scientific community.

These are people who have dedicated their entire lives to the pursuit of science and discovery for the pure love of curiosity. These missions aren't capitalistic ventures, we do it to feed our curious human nature and to scientifically and philosophically learn more about ourselves and our place in the universe.

Missions like this make a lot of these scientists emotional, so I appreciate that they're able to put a little bit of ourselves as humans on these missions, however symbolic it is.
This is how I have my setup running, a moderately-outdated, but still beefy (E5-2699v4, 512GB ram, etc), Dell Precision tower, which originally started as a design machine with a handful of Autodesk and EDA tools. I wanted to try out proxmox, but I was too lazy to want to move all of those installed things off onto another host, reinstall, then move it back into a Windows VM. I suppose I could still run proxmox in a HyperV instance and then VMs within there, but it feels like too many layers of indirection.

HyperV is perfect for what I want to do, run a dozen or two sandbox and experimental VMs. I can pass through hardware, assign raw volumes, partition out network interfaces for routers and other shenanigans and it's stable too. And with RDP, I just use the mac version of the remote desktop client to use it interactively, which also works surprisingly well even over tailscale on another continent!

Yes please, and for archive types like ISOs and disk images (where there may be a partition table in play as well).

Debian has jigdo, but the recipe/template for it is derived after that fact by scanning the ISO and then blanking out the parts of it that match external files— there's no mechanism for authoring them pre asset creation.
Demand in Canada in entirely from immigration, there's an obvious solution.
Morocco just doesn't seem to place the same importance in food cleanliness as the rest of the world. For example, they display, store and sell food directly touching the floor.

Buy a kilo of flour from a seller in Morocco, and he probably was storing that flour on the street. Directly on the street - not on a plastic bag or anything. He'll literally shovel the flour from his pile on the street into your bag.
Where do housing in the rental market come from if they aren't purchased and rented out by investors? No level of the government in Canada is building anything more than a token number of housing, and those that are built aren't added to the general rental pool.
Because a lot of these houses sit there vacant for big percentages of the year. For example (easy numbers) if your mortgage is 1k/month, you can afford to rent it out for 200/night a leave it vacant the other 25 days of the month.

You ever see a hotel on a Tuesday? No one is there. Now stretch that across all the airbnbs in a city.

I don't understand how someone can't see how that isn't bad and is crating artificial scarcity. Homes are not hotels.
That's just a reflection of how thick the wool over your eyes.
I think we might have had a dead link in the README to our self-hosting guide, here it is: https://docs.hatchet.run/self-hosting.

The component which needs the highest uptime is our ingestion service [1]. This ingests events from the Hatchet SDKs and is responsible for writing the workflow execution path, and then sends messages downstream to our other engine components. This is a horizontally scalable service and you should run at least 2 replicas across different AZs. Also see how to configure different services for engine components [2].

The other piece of this is PostgreSQL, use your favorite managed provider which has point-in-time restores and backups. This is the core of our self-healing, I'm not sure where it makes sense to route writes if the primary goes down.

Let me know what you need for self-hosted docs, happy to write them up for you.

I don’t understand. This theory implies that a significant percentage of Canadian houses are empty due to speculation. Is there any evidence for that theory?

Looking a bit online it feels like this might be a disproven theory https://financialpost.com/real-estate/busting-the-myth-of-ca...

Also just on a very fundamental level - outside of luxury housing, why wouldn’t investors rent out the houses they’re sitting on? Sure it’s nice to own an appreciating asset but isn’t it also nice to rent it for 10% of its value yearly?
Veganism doesn't solve every issue, but it makes them better almost immediately. For the problem you mention, we would need to farm substantially less with Veganism. Feed ratios for cows is around 7:1 when I checked last. So it absolutely is cow.
It's not bc of Airbnb. It's bc of rent control:

https://financialpost.com/real-estate/montreal-rent-cheaper-...

Rent control makes renting less attractive and Airbnb more attractive.

Allow higher rents will encourage more building and therefore more supply.
CMake is actually a perfect demonstration of how annoying C++ development tooling can be.

The documentation is massively verbose but doesn’t really say anything helpful. There’s basically no “Modern CMake” examples that anyone can agree upon. (I do see that there’s some GitHub repos these days that maybe do show some of it). There’s very little information on “The CMake way of doing things”. You really need to learn by examination, and your assumptions in the end will very likely be wrong.

Even just adding a package fetch in CMake is infuriating. What is the currently accepted way to do this? (I admit that I haven’t used CMake in a while, but as of a year ago, the internet and CMake docs did not agree on the correct way, even internally)

> Most investors don't keep their housing vacant

So who is in the housing then?
In my experience, a second nic is important to build anything with resilience; it's not just for routing. I see it as the most important hardware to "double up" on. If you are building a small cluster, for instance, you generally want to have one interface for the backend interconnect and one interface for client traffic. Or maybe you want to be able to upgrade or change your networking without taking traffic offline -- you'll need two physical connections for that, too.

Of course you can still build routers and everything with a single interface (which is why I noted the single port hardware in the first place), but if you are going to design something specific to the mini-server market, the cost difference between a single port and dual port controller is negligible enough that there's no reason not to include 2 or even 4 ports. The GoWin machines simply toss in an OCP nic slot and call it a day. That would be a fantastic solution to see adopted by other vendors.

Currently, housing availability is not a factor in immigration policy. Canada allowed over 1.2 million new residents last year. There were approximately 200k new houses built in that same time frame. Interpret this as you will.
