How many times do we see the government trample on our rights behind “safety”?

I’m fully with you on this. If TikTok is harmful, spread the word and let people make that decision for themselves. If kids are too small to make that decision, that falls on the parents. Don’t take away my rights because others can’t vet companies and use their brains if they should use the apps these companies put out.
Having a prominent media platform under the control of a hostile government is a serious threat.

Then China was right to ban Google, Facebook, and Reddit? This seems like a war where no one wins. Why not simply ensure platforms are open, neutral, and fair for everyone? (e.g. not reddit)

it is a defacto attempt to ban it.

You can't make a half-counterfactual comparison like that because the COVID rate may have been impacted by the lockdown.

Assume, for the sake of argument, that lockdowns worked smashingly well. Then, you'd see a) very few COVID deaths and b) relatively more "side effects". That is exactly what you're using to argue that they didn't work.

In principle I agree with you, in practice it seems the only reason TikTok legislation is passing the House is because Israel thinks everyone on TikTok hates them (reality - most people in the US disagree with genocide).

Upzoning is a win-win for existing homeowners. Land doesn't get expropriated to build multifamily; it's purchased. Multifamily is a more efficient use of a lot than SFH, so it's purchased at a premium.

NIMBYs worry that the mere existence of nearby multifamily will decrease their home value. In rare and unsympathetic cases (places like Winnetka in Illinois) that may be true. But in the bedroom neighborhoods of big cities and their inner ring suburbs, it's not; allowing missing-middle multifamily will revitalize neighborhoods and help shift the cost burden from SFH property taxes to sales tax (retail follows rooftops).
I don't think the founders could account for international influence in the age of the Internet and smart phones.

No one is asking for a great wall around the US. People are just asking that major influencers are not under the control of hostile governments.

Heh. When I started programming, there wasn't any such thing as syntax highlighting. I jumped on it as soon as I could, and I'd hate to live without it.

On the other hand, I turn off a lot of the weird little insets my IDE likes to put into the editing window as though they were part of the source code. I don't like having the lines of code jumping around as I move the cursor.

I remember overclocking the 486DX2-66 in the early 90's. I got the idea after reading my brother's Intel data book and noticed that while the max clock speed was speced at 66 MHz, all of the timing diagrams implied it could run to 80. I borrowed a variable speed clock generator and sure enough it was stable at 80, and started to crash at around 82MHz.

When I started to help friends overclock theirs, I quickly realized the "silicon lottery" variance. Some would only run reliably at 78 or 76 MHz. I bought a bunch of fixed frequency clock generators (that were drop-in replacements for the original on the motherboard) in 2MHz increments due to the variance.

This was back before CPU's had heat sinks or fans, so we quickly figured out that adding those gave better margins. We even made some 10-LED bar temperature display that had a thermocouple glued to the CPU case and indicated 10 degree C increments (green=0-60c, yellow=70-80c, red=90-100c).
It's certainly the most raw and personal, to its benefit, but it's too unpolished to be as great as the others.

One critical issue with "power of Nix without the learning curve" kind of products is that you still have Nix behind the scenes, including the /nix/store, which is intentionally not cleaned up by Nix automatically. So when users try out something that hides Nix from them, their drives inevitably fill up, which is super user-friendly because they have no idea how to reduce the amount of storage used. It's different when users understand that they're installing Nix, and go through the learning curve, because that learning curve helps them to build the mental model of what /nix/store is and how to maintain it.

What's your strategy for dealing with the underlying complexities?
They should and I wish they would!

There are limits to the acceptable protections Home Rule local governments can supply, and a growing consensus that single-family zoning is not one of those acceptable protections, which is leading states to preempt local governments on that question.
Well but aren’t you giving a great example of how that wealth is illusory?

The purpose of this comment is to make this conversation interesting instead of rehashing BS about NIMBYs.

Don’t get me wrong, measuring billionaires’ wealth by multiplying stock price and stock count is flawed too, for a different reason. But both your wealth and that wealth are really measuring “taxable wealth in the marginal transaction case.” Not a super interesting measurement IMO.

If you were an immigrant from the Soviet Union like my parents were for example, sure you were dirt poor but you might have an education, which turned out to be much more valuable in every sense, in most cases, than a house, for baby boomers this century.

Like isn’t being educated being “wealthy?” On the flip side, Russia today has 30 percentage points more higher educated people than the US, so tell me Obama, what did that education get them?

There’s no reductive lens for this stuff. One POV is that maybe the average American is myopic, their house value number goes up and they regard that as real wealth, just like billionaires do. But it’s not just a matter of understanding what house values are because “that number going up and therefore you become wealthier” isn’t strictly speaking flawed. IMO what we lack is leadership: politicians who have the patience and motivation to figure these things out and inform the public, as opposed to merely being reactive to the hottest crisis on social media.
You may disagree with a policy, but that doesn’t mean the party isn’t completely upfront about it.

Meta game stuff does well in fundraising and the primaries even if not the general election because everyone already shares most of the party’s core beliefs. It’s all about convincing people your strategy will get those core ideas in place. Voter disenfranchisement being a popular example.

Also, many positions seemed stupid to many voters. That doesn’t make them useless as long as there is some perceived net benefit.

Residents do have the most influence and the most concentrated control. That's not quite the same as being the only authority, or having absolute influence however, and this is a correct allocation of power.

Residents don't and shouldn't expect to have the final say on who can live in their area. This is explicitly acknowledged by, for example, racial housing covenants being illegal these days.

I'm really hoping that the Senate acts responsibly and pushes this no-nonsense bill through. I think it's a step in the right direction for cutting off access to information about USA citizens by foreign advesaries. This is an important step in bringing it to the forefront of Americans minds how important privacy is. Hopefully such a shift will next lead to concern against Facebook, Instagram, X, etc. who are also running a vast information network to monetize the personal lives of Americans for anyone with enough $$. NA-GPDR here we come. I would love nothing more than to see the bankruptcy of companies like LexisNexis and Verisk.
A pretty material portion of the population actually doesn't have much of any imagination, and these people, especially when they have had some success and developed "expertise" will always assume if they can't imagine it then it's impossible, or if they don't know how to do it then it can't be done.

Surely you've met some of these pessimists before.

I'd guess that is the point of the comment. In the US we can blame zoning, NIMBYs, and car-centric society for housing problems. But what about those other countries? What's the reason there?

I suspect important drivers of home pricing are:

- Young people not getting married and starting a family right out of school, making average household size drop considerably

- Increased standards for construction and rental quality

- Everyone wants more space, houses are pushing twice the size they were 30+ years ago

I think these are more plausible than just zoning and cars. I'd guess those are only serious problems in a handful of very dense cities which are constrained geographically.

The household size issue will probably level out, you can't really go below 1. Lowering standards won't happen. But smaller homes might. Bring back starter homes.

The formal development of secure systems (my 1992 doctoral thesis)
Poverty is easy to control for. Controlling for it brings the Pb-IQ effect size down considerably, but not down to zero.

My view is that poverty, low IQ, and lead exposure are all caused by intractably complex webs of genes, behaviors, beliefs, and parenting styles. This occurs in such a way that high IQ, high socioeconomic status, and low lead exposure are all strongly correlated, but not perfectly correlated.

As a spherical-cow sort of model, imagine that there's a "I don't give a fuck" (IDGAF) gene. People with the IDGAF gene have higher levels of lead exposure (because their houses aren't as clean), lower IQs (because they're not as motivated to think hard about the IQ test problems), and lower socioeconomic status (because they're not as motivated to get high-paying jobs) relative to those without the gene. But some IDGAF-positive people will get lucky and end up with high-paying jobs. Some IDGAF-negative people will be impoverished due to bad luck, etc. In other words, socioeconomic status is a noisy indicator of IDGAF. The key point is that IDGAF-positive people who have good jobs still probably don't keep their houses as clean as IDGAF-negative people. So when you control for poverty, you've killed off most of the IDGAF-mediated correlation between lead and IQ, but not all of it.

(as a reminder, this was just a spherical-cow model for illustrative purposes... reality is intractably more complex!)
Ahh but first you have a find a market economy.

Yes. It does. It can choose to outsource some of the verification pieces to the several states (e.g the REAL ID act) but the government needs a way to uniquely identify residents that it interacts with.

The founding documents make this very clear, I recommend giving them a read.

The problem is that we are missing the proof of this supposed quality difference.

Price does not necessarily imply quality (branding is much more of a factor).

Even if price did imply quality for certain brands, the question would be how much more qualitative? Will it hold 10x more wash cycles or last 10x longer?

In which case a consumer could make an actually informed decision on quality vs. price.

According to the company, the new chip will enable training of AI models with up to 24 trillion parameters. Let me repeat that, in case you're as excited as I am: 24. Trillion. Parameters. For comparison, the largest AI models currently in use have around 0.5 trillion parameters, around 48x times smaller.

Each parameter is a connection between artificial neurons. For example, inside an AI model, a linear layer that transforms an input vector with 1024 elements to an output vector with 2048 elements has 1024×2048 = ~2M parameters in a weight matrix. Each parameter specifies by how much each element in the input vector contributes to or subtracts from each element in the output vector. Each output vector element is a weighted sum (AKA a linear combination), of each input vector element.

A human brain has an estimated 100-500 trillion synapses connecting biological neurons. Each synapse is quite a complicated biological structure[a], but if we oversimplify things and assume that every synapse can be modeled as a single parameter in a weight matrix, then the largest AI models in use today have approximately 100T to 500T ÷ 0.5T = 200x to 1000x fewer connections between neurons that the human brain. If the company's claims prove true, this new chip will enable training of AI models that have only 4x to 20x fewer connections that the human brain.

We sure live in interesting times!

A lot of "top-10/elite/whatever schools" can reduce or cover the tuition for the vast majority of their students mostly because their endowments are enormous. It's dirt cheap for them and is good PR. All Ivy-league schools can effectively offer free education to their students for generations off of the interest they earn on their endowments alone. It's partly what leads to the crazy inequality in offerings, quality, and funding, between higher-ed schools in the US. Addressing the cost of higher-ed is a worthwhile goal, but in my opinion addressing the crazy inequality between schools is much more worthwhile.

Hmm...

I understand that if you don't know anything about the language or what is a flake, it may be a little bit difficult.

But really, adding a new package to your environment once you have a flake setup, which a minimal one is trivial, is just adding the name of the package.

Here you have a flake.nix example from leptos.
https://github.com/leptos-rs/leptos/blob/main/flake.nix

You want a new dependency? Add it to buildInputs. (this one doesn't have packages setup, but anything in the attribute set packages will be available in path)

You want to search a package: https://search.nixos.org/packages (or use the cli)

you want to test a package before adding it? nix-shell -p or nix shell for example.

Heck, even if you want it more easy, you could write a tool in less than 100 lines that adds packages names to .json/.yaml/.toml, which allows you to parse it using the nix language and a simple cli written with bash functions to add/remove packages if you wanted.

That's why it is hard for me to understand this project as a product, it seems like a wrapper to the most basic things :\
