Hosting company? He's still free to upload his show on X.

What they did was to cancel the collaboration after the pilot because they deemed it subpar and just a rehash of CNN which is losing a ton of viewers. This is common in the media industry and why we every year have speculation on what shows will be picked up after their pilots.

Internationally the statistics depend quite a bit on how the data is collected and aggregated, so do it's hard to international comparisons accurately.

I will say using US definitions, commute times are very sticky around the 30 minute time period. Longer commutes and people have a large incentive to move closer, short ones and they don't generally bother.

So in the US Tulusa Oklahoma population 400,000 (1M metro) has a 20 minute commute and NYC population 8,800,000 (20M metro) is 50% worse at 32 minutes average and ~100 cities between those extremes. https://www.titlemax.com/discovery-center/planes-trains-and-...

Edit: This suggests allowing people to move easily move around the metro area would meaningfully lower the need for transportation infrastructure. I suspect NYC has issues with people living in rent controlled apartments having long commutes but being unwilling to leave their cheap apartment, but don't have data backing it up.

It's not that those people are unable. It's that they're not idiots that risks other's lives.

Except that the Douyin operates only in China, you even need a Chinese phone number to register in the page. The Douyin do not aim for consumers outside China. Therefore, why would a website care to create a customized "discover" page for different countries when it have users only from a single country?

Frankly, nowadays it seems like we're just reviving McCarthyism when we talk about China.

Please be honest, the vast majority Russians and other Soviets didn't live in communal apartments for the past 60 years. Not only did they have access to new construction commie blocks (small and ugly, but warm and well connected), well over 50% of them had summer homes (datchas) and many still do today.

Anyways, you're missing my point. Which was to solve the post-war housing crisis by building up with prefabs. And it worked - rapidly.

Hi, everyone!
I'm one of the maintainers, I'd love to chat about the project and about how and why we built it.
It's actually not. I'm as yimby as they get but you need to understand that the value of people's property has almost nothing to do with nimbyism. They want things to stay the same, they want their "neighborhood character". Listen to them when they say this, it's not a sleight of hand. If more dense housing was built in their area the value of their house would go up even further than without it, but the point is they don't want to live near more people!

I think charging speed is the #1 stat to look for in an EV.

There isn't going to be an EV with a range long enough for an entire road trip, but OTOH with recharging EVs have an infinite range. People don't care about range of their ICE cars, because they can fill up quickly. The same applies to BEVs — with fast charging, it's just a quick stop for a coffee, and it doesn't add to the trip.

Charging speed also matters for people who can't charge at home. Having to charge for 20 minutes once a week is not a big deal, especially if that can be combined with a shopping trip.
Briefly hopeful, I ask astrollama-7b-chat-alpha[1] "What color is the Sun?". It replies "The Sun has no color as it emits radiation across all wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared. [...] there isn't an answer for what color the Sun truly is since it doesn't have one but rather produces every visible spectrum imaginable!". Sigh. Hmm, I wonder if LLM replies might be usefully mined to generate misconception lists?

We only have 2 cities in the United States that even approach a "medium sized" Asian metro in population. Los Angeles and NYC. Only NYC has a usable public transit system.

This is actually an argument for transit systems. Los Angeles, San Francisco/San Jose, Dallas, Phoenix -- could be (and should be) a global metropolises, with a populations and cultural relevance rivaling Tokyo or Hong Kong. They would be, if not for the car. There are people who commute daily from the suburbs of Stockton to the SF bay area.

> only a fool would use a password generator that can't be audited and that may be logged.

Really?

1. It’s from a known-reliable source

2. Even if the password is stored, logged, broadcast around the world for billions to see, so what?

A. Source has no way to know if the user used the password anywhere or saved it

B. Source doesn’t know who the user is

C. Source doesn’t know in which website or resource the password was used.

So… I stand by my paranoia claim. I wouldn’t go so far as to call you foolish like you did me, but I’d say such a world view will not be a net gain for you over your lifetime. You’ll have difficulty delegating work. You’ll have major trust issues. Maybe you already do. But as they say, “you do you.”

That's great! But we need places for people to live too. Not everyone wants to own acreage. Some people just want a place to lay their head that's close to where they work and a nice school for their kids. It also doesn't have to be Manhattan density either. It can even just be as simple as building houses closer together and allowing for corner markets in residential areas.

Imagine in 2-3 years time how much more crud software will be built and will be there to support. I'd say at least an order of magnitude more.

Even if I would have an AI assistant if I work on something I still have to understand that piece of work, I have to understand the requirements to give correct orders to the AI. I might become more efficient but I don't see an order of magnitude speed up where now I work on 5-8 projects which are in one ecosystem and I don't see suddenly switching to working on 50-80 projects where each 10 of them are different ecosystem that I also have to understand to make valid decisions - even if these are crud apps.

I think you are advocating for trying to make the experience of apartment living less shit, based on some idea that density is inherently good.
However there is no example where this is the case, as less density always allows individuals more control over their immediate environment.
I don't believe people choose community options deliberately, people who use them simply have no alternative. There is no positive evaluation being done, or cost/benifit it's simply the only affordable option.

Using pre-trained language models like the encoder and retrieval models mentioned [1] typically doesn't require writing a lot of code, but there are still a few steps involved.

The retrieval model, [2], is hosted on the Hugging Face platform. To use it, you can use Hugging Face's Inference API to send HTTP requests to their servers and receive responses from the model.

HuggingFace's docs [3] provides instructions on how to use the Inference API, including code examples in Python and other languages. Essentially, you'll need to format your input text according to the model's requirements, send an HTTP request to the API endpoint, and then process the response.

This does require some basic programming knowledge to interact with APIs and handle the requests/responses.

There are some third-party applications and services that provide a front-end for accessing pre-trained language models like this one, like Hugging Face Spaces, Replicate.ai, and Google Colab. However, these often come with additional costs or limitations...

Here's a related model by IBM and NASA for geospatial stuff [4].

They intentionally included combat training in the dataset. It is in their Technical Report.

How can combat training not be interpreted as "principal purpose or implementation is to cause or directly facilitate injury to people"?

Do you believe the agent was trained to distinguish game from reality, and refuse to operate when not in game environment? No safety mechanisms were mentioned in the technical report.

This agent could be deployed on a weaponized quad-copter, or on Figure 01 [0] / Tesla Optimus [1] / Boston Dynamic Atlas.

> Between the lines: The county is also trying to address other health factors that put people at increased risk for heat illness or death, including drug use and unsheltered homelessness, by embedding social workers at cooling centers to help with finding housing and harm-reduction strategies, Sunenshine says.

> More than half of last year's heat deaths were people experiencing homelessness and two-thirds involved substance use, she said.

https://www.texastribune.org/2024/01/12/texas-heat-deaths-20...

> Green was among the 334 people in Texas who died from heat in 2023, according to data compiled by the Texas Department of State Health Services between Jan. 1 and Nov. 30.

> The heat killed more Texans in 2023 than any other year on record, according to the figures, which are not yet final. The state’s heat-related death records began in 1989.

> Heat-related deaths are typically associated with a secondary factor such as mobility problems, mental illness, drug and alcohol use or homelessness that prevents people from escaping extreme heat, Dwyer said. That’s one reason why elderly people have a higher risk of heat-related death, she said.

https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/heat-related-deaths-i...

California has 4.2 heat related deaths per million. (all of California - including Fresno).

Arizona has 71.9 heat related deaths per million.

Texas is 6.7.

San Francisco had the third lowest ER room encounters for heat related emergencies at 5.1 per 100,000 residents (it was behind Marin and Santa Clara).

While hot weather in San Francisco should not be ignored, it is no where near the mortality rate that is seen in other southern cities.

You cannot have the same rates of unhoused people (note: using unhoused here because a person who is homeless living in a hotel room is homeless, but not unhoused) in northern cities because you will die in Minneapolis in the winter if you don't have a place to stay.

https://www.sf.gov/sites/default/files/2023-07/2023%20Homele...

San Francisco has 887 homeless people per 100k residents. Boston has 657. Denver has 670. Minneapolis has 209. Chicago has 141. I'll also draw special attention to page 9 with the percent of the population that is unsheltered.

The unsheltered per 100,000 residents:

San Francisco 420
Denver 184
Boston 18
Chicago 46
Minneapolis 38

You mean Claude 3 Opus, but yes.
I've used Storybook during development for a while now and the use case you present is how the Storybook is usually pitched. I actually agree about the simplicity of discovering the components. What I disagree with, though, is that I can't see the value of "develop & test your UI independently from your app" part. It forces me to decouple the state from a component and this in turn adds unnecessary complexity to the architecture.

I'm going to use Oxide console [1] as an example because it has a really good setup of MSW + OpenAPI autogenerated mocks (which means that it doesn't need any complete running backend, just a defined contract).

Consider this fairly simple page [2]. If I'm using the Storybook pattern, I'm keeping all of the state outside of the component, which means I now have to manually memoize every single variable defined before the return to make sure that the component doesn't do any unnecessary re-renders. This includes `intervalPicker`, `commonProps`, `setFilterId`, every return of `useDateTimeRangePicker`. With MSW I have benefits of not needing the API as well as developing in the context of a real production app, using the same exact mocks for unit tests and development.

Is this like the Chinese version of Mark Twain's spelling reform?

"For example, in Year 1 that useless letter c would be dropped to be replased either by k or s, and likewise x would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which c would be retained would be the ch formation, which will be dealt with later.

Year 2 might reform w spelling, so that which and one would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish y replasing it with i and Iear 4 might fiks the g/j anomali wonse and for all.

Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants.
