Yeah, it was power substations.

Probably this one?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalf_sniper_attack

And there was a still unsolved one in North Carolina two years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_County_substation_atta...
Which killed at least one person.

There were also a few others in the SeaTac area around the same time: https://www.justice.gov/usao-wdwa/pr/two-charged-attacks-fou...

But they caught those, and the suspects said they had planned to use the power outage to commit a burglary.

Why assume there is a line? I spent like $1500 just for the tickets twice last year to take my family of 4 to Disneyland which is mostly standing in line.
Theoretically, maybe. If you got a good 'HD voice' (higher bitrate EVS codec) call, it's possible you could negotiate and send a slower fax signal. No way on a full-rate or half-rate GSM codec or amr-nb though, just doesn't have the bandwidth, chops too much.

Even back in the early 2000's when I was using free nights and weekends with my T68i to make calls to a free dialup provider in new england (9600baud yea), my call would still drop every hour or so just due to signal hiccups.

(T-Mobile never enabled HS-CSD for 28.8kbps using more timeslots and it's unlikely my current rate plan will allow for CSD calls, but it doesn't mean I won't try, I still have an old sim card able to be used in 2G only phones, including that very same t68i which I tested last summer, still works.)
They could fix the whole system by issuing as many medallians as people want. Fixed reasonable price, renewable each year. You have to meet certain criteria for public safety, like good driving record, not a sex offender, the car must pass annual safety inspections, etc. But other that, let the market decide how many taxis.
And late stage capitalism with boom/bust cycles is good for the community and customers too? At least for the 1% it's doing great.

The point is that a "Local" government deciding on how many of one kind of business shows up in one spot isn't optimizing from the top (you could consider that the state or federal government). Instead you could consider it optimizing it from the middle. The local people are electing officials and having them implement their will. Trying to call that communism would be... odd.
Out of boredom I decided to prove this too: I asked ChatGPT and Claude for ~200 samples in total.

Just uploaded the examples as-is to OpenAI, selected 3.5 as the model to fine-tune and about 20 minutes later I had my model.

Works fine, asks good questions, can ask more than 1 follow up question if needed, and actually changes its answers based on the clarifying questions.

Exactly. Just look at Japan. If we have strong pro building laws, the house problem solves itself.

Interesting that the first couple lectures start with distributed systems algorithms but then it quickly switches to mostly covering Machine Learning topics. Normally algorithms classes exclude ML.
>they live in pretty poor conditions in a very harsh environment; high altitude barren mountains.

But isn't that just the Peruvian mountains? If your statement was supposed to be relative ("there are good conditions in <x>") then I'm not sure what you expect.

If it was supposed to be absolute, then you're correct but stating something that hasn't changed since long before humans started living in the area is hardly worthwhile.

> [1] e.g. because stock sales/purchases are still inexplicably not instantaneous it's conceivable something terrible could happen in the multiday period between purchasing your shares at a discount, and being able to sell them.

I recall participating in an ESPP where each time it vested (each 6 months) ended up being in a trading black out window, where we had to wait until Earnings Release + 3 days before being able to dump the stock. Lost that 15% gain just about every time.

It sounds like you don't have a problem with it. Maybe you never encountered the issues, or maybe you just have a higher tolerance for them. I did give specifics, and if you cared to look they're well documented - it's hardly knee jerk hate. Over 1.5 million people were annoyed enough by them to buy Apollo alone. And for the record, these complaints were present from far before Reddit decided to get so stingy with their API.

Great photo selection with the shifty looking seal (gotta love the whites of caniform eyes) and a nice little summary of the article.

One thing about zoology and animal morphology is that we all know how important feeding is for animals but only real nerds love the digestive tract. Transport, skin, and reproduction are far more glamorous; but the mammalian sense of smell and mouth parts gave us such an advantage in the tertiary period.

It’s interesting that this sort of feeding never arose in the sea. I wonder what the ancestors of the pinnipeds who first ventured back into water ate…
Why not just let it bubble up from the hardware? Seems like a redundant thing to build into the kernel
Can we assume that you weren't able to use Numpy here, or at least that your inner loops weren't using it? It can be faster than C++ when you don't happen to know all the optimizations the Numpy library writers knew.
I’m hoping that means that she didn’t know what Jim Baugh was up to and that putting security under legal was intended to rein them in. Call me naïve but I can’t imagine that the eBay board is happy that this happened, though I do find it ridiculous that the CEO and other executives involved weren’t fired. There should be legal penalties preventing someone from leading a major corporation after being responsible for something like this. Attorneys can be disbarred so why not CEOs?
You don't quite RC, because of the interstellar medium (and sometimes the circumgalactic medium). In a galaxy-galaxy collision, individual stars are almost collisionless, depending on the stellar density of the galaxies. However, if there's even a small fraction of the normal amount of gas in both galaxies, the interaction will be very X-Ray bright from gas friction. The behaviour of gas tends to dominate many if not most galaxy-galaxy collisions.

Good opportunity to plug https://savechandra.org/why/

NGC 2207 https://www.chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2014/ngc2207/ ("Colliding galaxies like this pair are well known to contain intense star formation. Shock waves — like the sonic booms from supersonic aircraft — form during the collision, leading to the collapse of clouds of gas and the formation of star clusters")

NGC 1232 https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2013/ngc1232/ (the text below the image is excellent).

Stephan's Quintet https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2009/stephq/ (be sure to use the "View Wavelengths" buttons right below the image, and mouse over the image for annotations)

There are lots of other examples. While brief <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interacting_galaxy#Galaxy_coll...> is decent, and can take you to the longer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_merger, which is pretty encyclopedic on that branch of galaxy-interaction outcomes.

Spongebob pretty clearly doesn't account for gas. The initial velocities are also not really comparable to a galaxy-galaxy interaction. And of course it's in two spatial dimensions, so fewer ways that any pair of particles might avoid each other than in our three.

And to answer the grandparent comment, the gravitational interaction of particle-particle close calls in Spongebob are suppressed, so no collisions. Gravitation is the only force modelled, so no clumping. I arrived at that from scattered Q&A comments in the twitter thread, but also it's pretty clear from eyeballing.
If you can't rebuild it, then how can you be considered to have the "source code" ?

The training data isn't a dataset used at runtime - it's basically the source code to the weights.

Not sure it really matters here though (who has the GPUs and desire to retrain Grok?), but just as a matter of definition "open weights" fits better than "open source".
It finds all local branches (plus the HEAD commit) where

1. The branch isn't following a remote branch that's been deleted (which often happens after merging or deleting a pull request).

2. The branch has a common commit with the primary remote branch (usually origin/main or origin/master) from the last 2 weeks. You can see older commits & branches by clicking “load more commits.”

Then, it displays all the commits from the top of that branch down to where it joins with the main branch.

If the HEAD commit meets the primary branch at a commit more than 2 weeks old, then the 2 week range is extended (for all branches) as well.
This article doesn't seem to say anything beyond the obvious, but here's what I wish I knew -

- Be conscious of what is going on with sell to cover on RSUs if you go that route, especially shortly after you joined a company or vesting a new grant these will also be sold at short term gains (if the stock went up), also going towards you taxable income. This is an easy way to end up with a surprise monster tax bill. I prefer to always pay the taxes in cash if possible to make everything simpler.

- Make sure to plan to pay quarterly taxes if the stock is rising/you want to sell a fair bit to not get stuck with both a big bill at tax time and penalties

-Short term losses can offset short term gains, long term losses can offset long term gains, but they can't offset each other

-DO NOT FORGET TO ADJUST YOUR COST BASIS ON RSU SALES WHEN FILING TAXES
Why are you using the metric of annual revenues must equal market capitalization to determine whether a company is overvalued? And why use revenue instead of earnings?

Currently if NVDA can double their earnings next year they’d have a P/E ratio similar to MSFT. I think many investors believe they can reach this target hence the high valuation.

Whether NVDA will continue to maintain this level of profit for the coming decade is another issue.
Iirc Netflix did this
The "reference implementation" in C seems to just let the int wrap around. It also does an out of bounds array access if the string contains non-ASCII chars.
Can attest to this. I moved away from California in 2021 and continued to work for my employer. I pay taxes on RSUs that were granted in California as they vest in both California and my new home state. My state (and I expect most others) has a tax credit for taxes paid in both states.

If anyone finds themselves in this situation, I would highly recommend hiring a tax advisor who can help you navigate this.
I assume there are multiple startups working on something like this for people who have a high volume of email to get through.

I think you would just use a SOTA LLM. Probably a critical function of a filter or sorting and auto responding system like that is identifying email that requires the actual attention of the real person.

But I think that famous people get a massive amount of the same questions over and over again.

Another aspect of this is reproducing the writing patterns or "voice" of the person. This can be accomplished to some degree with a few of the best LLMs and some examples.

There are definitely startups where the intention is to create a digital representation of yourself for fans to have a dialogue with. So it skips over the email and straight into a conversation.

This can be pretty convincing with something like Eleven Labs voice cloning and the best prompting or tuning for playing roles.

If Heinlein was around today, he might have cloned himself on character.ai or used one of the new AI services marketed for that.

Actually with HeyGen, there might be a website talktoheinlein.com that costs $20/month and you can do a live conversation with his digital twin.
This has a distinct red / blue flavor to it.
I'm still researching my question, and yet other articles say Apple has recently recruited RISC-V experts.

My question isn't a concrete question of why Apple chose ARM (which is speculation), but rather why generically a large computer company like Apple would choose to license an ISA at all when they have the wealth/resources to build one from ground up. Why leave that to another company to dictate the HW/SW interface? Is an ISA that hard to figure out? What are the general pros and cons.

> A phreaker going by Joybubbles was the first to exploit the tone by whistling.

Joybubbles (formerly Joe Engressia) specifically denied being the first. In this interview (no timestamp), he mentions having heard of others phreaking as far back as the 50s: https://www.2600.com/offthehook/mp3files/1991/off_the_hook__...

He also demonstrates whistling 2600hz during that interview, including doing so on one of the only US trunks in service at the time still using it for supervision.

> Later, a toy whistle in a cereal box was found to be able to produce the tone, leading to further exploit by John Draper, aka, Cap'n Crunch.

Not true, even he admitted, belatedly, that Denny Teresi introduced him to it:

> https://www.dailydot.com/debug/john-draper-beyond-the-little...

> Denny called me and told me about this whistle that blew the magic tone that disconnects long distance phone calls, and that he had a spare. He asked me if I could drive him to San Francisco so he could show me how it worked.
Yup. At a previous employer we had a "loop until [list] is empty" in our interpreter. This list would be appended to by any recursion in the interpreted language (effectively saying "this recursion also needs to be processed")

We joked that it was our very own proof that recursion and iteration are equivalent
Not surprised at all to see the author on here. Your book is marvelous. I demolished your book on a flight a few years back, thoroughly enjoyed it, and was sad that it was all over so quickly (both the book, and the phreaking era). It has a permanent home on my shelf next to "The Cuckoo's Egg" as one of my favourite old tech storybooks and I recommend it to anyone vaguely interested in the subject.
You saying "irrelevant" doesn't make it so. The law of the land is, in fact, very relevant in a lawsuit.
I don’t doubt they could pay more or sell at a lower price point, but by fair I am simply talking in terms of market forces. They aren’t using underhanded tactics, just buying an item for what it’s worth.

Hi there! CTO of Labsmore here. Pricing is hard :) There is a lot that goes into the final price, especially once the other components, calibration, and overhead is factored in.

Eh, this also seems backwards from how most cities actually work...

Most of the time they are looking into bringing businesses in that will have long term staying power, and backing that by offering low interest loans or tax breaks via a number of different programs. No, cities do not want boom/bust type scams that are going to eat up real estate and leave a dilapidated building in the future.

I'm not sure if this is a fair question or not, but suppose I have a 6-byte blob I want to send. I can pad it out to 8 bytes, use this scheme to encode it, and send it.

Then I want the receiver to understand that only the first 6 bytes of their decoded results are part of the transmission -- how do I do that?

Base64 has a special character ('=') that is used for encoding padding, but this method doesn't seem to have that. The spec says "it is up to the application to ensure that frames and strings are padded if necessary", which suggests they've scoped this problem out.

I suppose I can always build a little "packet" that starts with the payload length, so that the receiver can infer the existence of padding if there is additional data beyond the advertised payload length, but now the receiver and I need to agree on that protocol.
American News Lost Its Nerve
This is the best explanation IMO.
std::vector falls into the category of things that are easy to bounds check, st the cost, even under today's primitive compilers, is low. It's direct pointer accesses—which are common in c but not in c++ or most other languages—that are hard to and therefore cost more to bounds check.
This is why the US has a few trillion in infrastructure debt.

"Oh no, the city had to put in a few million in pipes to supply additional water to an area that had a huge demand spike taking a long term bond on the issue... and now they are all out of business and earning no taxes to pay for the expense. Too bad we didn't actually plan for reasonable growth and resource usage. Hopefully someone can bail us out"
>The simplicity due to lack of padding rules seems to be the only real advantage

Because there is no padding rule given, it's impossible to use the standard to encode most binary strings.

For example, how would you encode/decode these?

0x00000000000000
0x000000000000

Hi there! CTO of Labsmore here. We would love to chat with people involved at lab automation / digital microscopy to learn more about what we could do to help their workflows. Currently we are focusing on electronics / semiconductor but are exploring bio / life sciences given we've seen significant interest there.

Its also the first time we've started a company like this and are constantly exploring ways to validate PMF, iterate faster, and improve sales / marketing. Please reach out if you'd be interested to chat about the business side, grab coffee in silicon valley, etc.
No it doesn't. Not for people who earn tech salaries which is what this article is pointed at. You're always going to max out pre-tax 401k first, then backdoor 401k post-tax after if you have enough spare income.

Moving up a bracket doesn't change all the previous brackets, it just affects money past that level. It's not like a hard line that you cross and it changes the whole picture.

If you think otherwise, give us a scenario where is matters.
Thanks for all the details! Limiting a land value tax to densely populated areas is a great detail here. Sorry if I end up with a long list of follow-up questions here, this is really interesting.

So my main concern related to destruction of natural land is that there is a disincentive to keep land natural if you have to pay the tax anyway. In dense areas that wouldn't be nearly as much of an issue, but it would still mean that parks would be an unlikely occurrence and likely only feasible when run by the government. I assume most parks in these areas are anyway, so the loss may be limited to smaller neighborhood parks, courtyards, etc.

Finding a clear way to draw a line between what area is dense enough to be taxed and what isn't seems like it would be an ongoing challenge. Not only would you have to define specific measures and thresholds, you would have to eventually move the line as the city evolved. Any thoughts on his this would be done, or already is in areas with a similar tax?

When it comes to "best use" of a piece of land, who decides this? Does that measure really just boil down to whatever spends the most capital to build on the land, without regard for economic or social value, environmental impacts on the land and surrounding area, etc?

It seems like this would lead to a lot of economic and social impacts that aren't necessarily desirable. Is there a clear way to guard this system from building higher and higher economic centers, inflating incomes and forcing even more of a wedge into the wealth gap? In you example, a car wash would be able to employee people at a lower once level in the area where a much more expensive biotech building would mostly employ highly educated people who bring much higher price pressure to the area. Can that be avoided with a tax that incentivizes building more expensive, and likely more technical/specialized, businesses on every plot of land?

Related to that, what's the solution for infrastructure and resource requirements? Large biotech facilities would likely require more power, transportation and delivery access, maintenance, and building materials. If we are simultaneously concerned with environmental impact, creating incentives to build much larger building with much higher resource requirements flies in the face of this. Would we be creating a situation where businesses are pushed to use more energy, concrete, steel, and glass partly because a tax makes smaller businesses less feasible?

Well that ended up being a bit of a brain dump with questions mixed in. If you made it this far, thanks for playing along!

> can more or fewer young people afford to own a home now?

More. Gen Z is ahead of previous generations. “30% of 25-year olds owned their home in 2022, higher than the 27% rate for Gen Xers when they were the same age.”

Low interest rates during the pandemic helped, but generally homeownership stays steady regardless.

Huh? Oh, did you assume the answer was “less”? Guess you should have looked up the numbers first, or at least not gotten your ideas about the world from Reddit.
