> Are real world physics really that much more complicated than video game physics?

Massively, in a game running into a wall is perfectly normal and valid strategy to get close to it, in reality that will wreck you.

Or running on a fist sized rock has no consequences, in reality that destroys your foot. Reality is full of such extreme threats everywhere even in normal homes.
Why would it? You can solve the housing problem with corrugated shanty towns and plastic tarps if right regulations eased enough.
Thankfully parents were invented to regulate them.
The whole reason this is even happening is because they've been caught pushing political content that is blatantly either pro-China or meant to stir shit up in the American population. The irony with your comment is that TikTok's masters in China already have the same power that SOPA was supposed to grant the US government. In other words the USA is trying to strip the CCP of that power.

They could've played ball and not pushed politics and we'd have left them alone to make their money but instead they tried to bite the hand that feeds.
>The way the US had dealt with issues like this is in the courts of law

How would that work in the case of TikTok. If for example the US Department of Justice were to sue TikTok, what law or regulation would it allege TikTok to have violated?

>the US had dealt with issues like this

This suggests that there were law suits in the past. Who were the plaintiffs and the defendants? What law were the defendants alleged to be in violation of?
Based on what I have read, Canada is doing far, far worse than the USA - affordability problem up north is ridiculous.

I was a bit confused when you mentioned this, but then I realised the actual sequence is ^X^C. It's because ctrl-X is a sort of metacharacter, and ctrl-C is used for the standard INT signal you know from other programs.

And to be fair, GTK emacs has File->Quit as well (which helpfully reminds you you could use C-x C-c instead!).

If privately arising monopolies could only be kept from buying out their regulators, they'd privately break down before they became too odious... for example Google, which for years was the only remotely good search engine, is now merely one of the better search engines. If there had been a "department of consumer information safety," staffed by the best industry professionals status can buy, that might have not happened.

The ancient Greek, who invented the word "democracy" (δημοκρατία / dēmokratía), would disagree with your understanding of it.

Aristoteles divided forms of government benefiting their rulers into tyrannies, oligarchies, and democracies as follows: one, few, many. (Analogous to these three you have monarchy, aristocracy, and polity, which are to the benefit of all). Many here does not mean everyone, otherwise you would have to let children and non-citizens vote as well. However in a later chapter he does break things down further and, for instance, establishes a spectrum ranging from polity to democracy. However the most extreme form of democracy on that spectrum would be unrecognizable to you: Every free citizen is the government, only slaves aren't. There are no laws. If that sounds like nonsense to you, it is. He was mostly firing shots at athen's democracy and not really be fair at all.

Also do note that here democracy is the selfish variant of polity, and would thus is considered the "bad kind", inferior to even monarchy and aristocracy, but still preferable to oligarchy and tyranny.
They say 200GB/s of mem bandwidth; Mixtral uses 13B parameters for inference; they claim 22t/s, so 22 * 13B parameters per second, so (200 * 8) bits / (22 * 13) around 5.6 bits / parameter max. With overheads, it's probably 4 bit quant.

It's not the information that's banned, it's TikTok. People don't seek to ban TikTok because they fear the content, they fear the power that an enemy nation has over their citizens. It's not a free speech issue.

Imagine if a company developed a new form of paper and published many books on it. If the paper turns out to be toxic and is banned, the company can't then say "oh, no, we're being censured". It has nothing to do with the message.

If tiktok wants to leave the US, that would be their decision.

There's an argument in this article that digital media can't get any "better" because the 1s and 0s can only be replicated, there is no opportunity to remaster it with improved digital tools. And then a nod to the fact that N64 emulators can significantly upscale the media (which reminds me of a similar discussion about how the pixel art of old games looks significantly better on real CRTs because of the way the artists made the sprites to interact with CRT tech).

It isn't really the case that digital reproduction can't be improved while analog representation can (with improved tech), however. It points at a more interesting discussion (to me at least) about how any preservation effort is a kind of curation. It is a political act, albeit a subtle one.

Even the brand new media that I consume today is generally curated. My "smart" TV does a wide range of modifications to the digital image it displays before it reaches my eyes. Getting it to give me an "honest" version of any video is remarkably difficult, and that's before it even hits the physical layer of anti-glare coating or intermediary layers like ambient-light dimming.

And who's to say what the canonical version ought to be anyway? Was digital input assuming a particular interpretation for its output? Perhaps it was targeting some assumptions about the average display? Did you really do it right if you try to reproduce a book, and you reproduce it as if it was freshly printed, even though it was first printed 140 years ago? Or did you "do it right" if you emulate the effect of the book freshly printed 140 years ago and then very very carefully stored for 140 years?

Back when I was a professional musician, I would always listen to the recorded "digital canonical" version on med-range monitors, high-end headphones, and super cheap car-stereo speakers, to get a sense of how it would sound in each medium. But I can never know exactly how it hits the record that really matters, which is the particular influence on the brains of the listeners.

Ultimately, you do what seems right, which in turn has more to do with evolution than correctness, even if your goal is transparent correctness.

Strong homeowner protection is almost universal throughout the developed world, including regions where the cost of housing is low relative to wage levels, so whilst it may be true to say that expensive parts of the US and Europe are homeowner friendly and have restrictive planning laws it doesn't indicate any actual correlation. New York isn't super expensive because other places take advantage of greater ability to build to a higher density.

In most lower middle income countries with relatively limited property rights, urban housing that can actually be bought is actually much more expensive relative to local median incomes, though these do have more options in the form of dorms and slums...
> Literally the only thing you have to change is some text.

The corollary to this is that the text is difficult to change for precisely the same reason that people dislike it: it holds legal baggage. If it were "just" some text, you could ignore it. But it's text that is related to contracts and agreements that would need to be renegotiated and audited and more I'm not thinking of.

In all seriousness though, it isn't. People are generally simply trying to fit in, so hating on anything China is viewed as good and everyone sticks to it.

The biggest shock from this article is that anyone has ever got a role via Arc
When I’ve been poor and seen this happen, I tended to shop at both stores because some items at the dollar store are actually cheaper. Just like many grocery stores have rotisserie chickens sold under cost, the dollar store has its own anchor items like the balloons.

The fact that some items are overpriced is part of the game they’re playing. It’s asking the customer “are you really going to wait in another lineup to save a buck?” It’s also taking advantage of the fact it’s cognitively difficult to memorize the price of each product in both stores, especially because the prices change and the size of products is often different, so it’s easy to get confused and overpay. Yet they aren’t really taking advantage of customers any more than Walmart is when they throw a sale and puts their best value items at the back corner of the store forcing their customers to walk past worse value items.

It’s also simply the case that Walmart simply has less overhead and can pass the savings on. Not to mention more negotiating power.
Oh man, I saw this stark contrast during the last YC batch.

A friend who supported himself through college on construction jobs, then went through a major surgery (think brain/heart/cancer) left his FAANG job for the startup.

His cofounders? A married couple with prime Bay Area real estate purchased by their family abroad, constantly bragged about Stanford (masters, mind you)and CCP connections.

Long story short, apparently the cofounder couple lied about their visa situation, both to the investors and to their cofounder. (They had a green card when they said otherwise). This was so they could lie about quitting their job at Google, which they never did.

My friend left when he found out, as he was the technical one anyway, and last I heard bootstrapped something with decent revenue.

In any case, the situation reminds me how important it is to fully vet your cofounders. Also, crazy that people can be effectively rewarded for being so scummy.
It really depends who's saying it to you at the time.

The incredible thicket of state, county, and municipal rules all layer and combine to make housing incredibly difficult to build. It's the technical debt of the material world.

Seriously, look up your local zoning rules. It's not "you can't build a chemical plant next to a preschool" like it's so often portrayed. It's minimum size for the lot, max square footage of the house based on lot size, max/min frontage, height allowances, max garage sizes, minimum number of trees, number of windows.... etc.

It really just goes on like that, and then to top it off, you can be totally compliant with code and still not be approved. Either because of local incompetence (building permits stuck "in review" for years) or because of local opposition.

Which, it probably can't... but offsetting those simplifications and 4-20x difference is the massive difference in how quickly those synapses can be activated.

Yes.
We'll have to just agree to disagree :) We simply have different philosophies; you're a perfectionist whereas I'm an incrementalist. We both have life experiences and probably personality traits that lead us to our differing preferences.

In my view, "partial solutions piled on partial solutions" is just life as a human being, where the alternative to that is not perfect solutions with no piling required, but rather no solutions. And yes, it is just like software, where incrementalism is also the better approach, in my view.

> proponents of the quick fix will claim that the 'do it right' folks are actually saying we should do nothing.

We don't think you're actually saying we should do nothing, just that it's the common end result, despite your best intentions.

And in the sphere of politics in particular, I think well-meaning people who really do want better solutions are often used by more cynical people who really do want to do nothing, for their own ends. Like the tax software industry lobbyists, in this case. Or like how old school environmentalists often find themselves aligned with fossil fuel industry lobbyists when it comes to building renewable or nuclear power generation, or transmission lines.

I don't begrudge people their dislike of partial solutions, I just don't subscribe to the same strategy.

Nix runs alongside other distributions in various OSs, including OSX. (Windows is being looked at, do not hold your breath.)

The cross-platform capability of `flox` comes from our usage of Nixpkgs, which includes allowance for some of the differences between platforms and makes them less of an issue.

If some piece of software has a specific difference when run on different platforms and you rely upon that difference, then your need to use that platform in some way: native, VM, translator, etc. Nix does make it easier to manage, build, distribute, multiple kinds of software.

Flox environments leverage this same foundation to expose the same environment on multiple systems and we plan to work on this more. What in particular would you be looking for?

It's worth comparing to the status quo here, which is...TurboTax, which is not a better steward of your personal info.

The government saying "we are being more scrupulous than TurboTax" from the start, with a clear plan to improve is really only net gains. And the normal objections about things being worse because government don't really apply, since the IRS ultimately needs and has this information anyway, the risk is just them sharing it.

No, it doesn't resolve the matter, since the lower bound on detectability is still a very large number of cancers (most of which will not have occurred yet).
