I live in a 20s streetcar suburb and I know my neighbors because we all hang out on our front lawns and all eat at the same restaurants in walking distance.

My friends who live in modern suburbs don't know their neighbors. People complain their kids don't leave the house... Where would the kids even go?

We need to end the tyranny of the non grid suburb..suburbs should be on grids. Most things should be within walking distance so children can be more independent.

Then it's like really easy to know your neighbor. I mean how could you not? You see them everytime you walk your kids to the park, everytime you're at the community pool, everytime you shop.

I grew up in a 50s suburb and even that was a world's away from what my kids get

That’s like saying Shakespeare couldn’t be productive as a writer because he didn’t have a word processor.
Quite right. But licensing a specification with a license designed for software is pretty darned strange.

> This Specification is free software;

even though This Specification is not software.

And then you're left with the disturbing need to send the text of the GPL off to corporate lawyers to determine whether there are any bombs in the GPL when applied to a specification instead of a piece of software? Will implementing the specification contaminate our sources? Must we include a GPL 3 notification in our legal notices?

To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or
part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission,

And the corporate lawyers will respond (as they always do) that the text of the GPL wasn't written by a lawyer and nobody really knows what it means because of numerous drafting errors.

Using the GPL here senselessly and needlessly causes stress, and is a more than ample reason in itself not to use the standard.

The one good thing is that they used an MIT license on the reference implementation, so we won't have to use clean room protocols to write our own implementation.
Why do we need to waste infrastructure and capital to produce mindless output of questionable value?
I’m wondering why this is, and I can think of a few potential factors (broad generalisations follow):

- The US is a low trust society

- European culture typically places less emphasis on workplace friendships compared to the US.

- As an another commenter said, the size of US cities. But also the difficulty & cost of getting around

- There is something about the American demeanour that is surface-friendly, but also seems to discourage deeper/emotional connection. Whereas many European cultures can seem less smiley-friendly, but also more honest and genuine

- I feel like the very strong Protestant work ethic in the US may play a factor. When productivity is so important I feel that must detract from other aspects of life (stress, free time, relocations)
It's being read as both.

See, the beauty in what we're now calling the joke, is that it's both a joke for those who know, and it's actual valid commentary that meets your expectations of this forum.
This makes no sense as others pointed out.

There are times to make repairs yourself - such as when you think you can do a better / more nuanced job than a "pro" or when acquiring the skill can pay dividends over a long period (eg once you learn to change your oil and rotate your tires, you will have the option to never pay for it.)

Taking on the injury instead of letting a pro handle is is explicitly NOT the reason to DIY! Presumably the pro has done that thing many times and survived, and even if he fucks up that's the risk of his job.

Older suburbs are slightly different, I live in one from the late 1920s and it’s actually pretty walkable. It’s mostly single family houses but there are corner stores, restaurants, a grocery, barber, etc.

They’re called streetcar suburbs because they were originally developed by real estate speculators who would build a streetcar line and then sell the land to developers at a profit.

The article mentions social media as a reason for loneliness. Is the premise that social media replaces socializing that would have otherwise happened in person?
It is important to emphasize that the authors are talking specifically about CNC machines.

In this category, Russia was in love with the European CNC vendors. And the vendors had an awesome market in Russia, because Russian managers eagerly ordered very expensive, very high quality German and Swiss machines -- machines which not even many of American companies could afford. (For many applications, an American-made Haas machining center would be perfectly adequate, and would cost several times less than a "similar" German machine.)

European machines were great. The geographical distance was short, which helped with the service. There were almost no barriers. The vendors had web pages and customer service in Russian, with pre-certification of machines to Russian state regulations, etc. Operators got trained on Siemens Sinumerik simulators, which were freely downloadable.

As for the Chinese industry, although in CNC tools it almost certainly lags behind Germany (like everybody else does), it certainly imports the best German machinery on a massive scale, and when it comes to manufacturing hi-tech missile components, it runs circles around Russians.

It is also not strictly true that Russian domestic machine tool industry is dead. In fact, it has been recovering somewhat. There are several factories, some of which build machines from scratch, and some that assemble machines from imported components.

There are also continuing imports of machines and service parts through third parties. In fact, after the beginning of the war, overall imports of manufacturing equipment increased, compared to the preceding period.

So while I think the report is interesting, it does not give a full picture.

How print got cool again: For high schools newspapers, print is alive and well
I'm probably paraphrasing Schneier (and getting it wrong), but getting water from the tap and having it polluted or poisonous, has legal and criminal consequences. Similarly getting meat from a butcher and having it tainted.

Right now, getting videos which are completely AI/deepfaked to misrepresent, are not subject to the same consequences, simply because either #1 people can't be bothered, #2 are too busy spreading it via social media, or #3 have no idea how to sue the party on the other side.

And therein lies the danger, as with social media, of the lack of consequences (and hence the popularity of swatting, pretexting etc)
I'm a 'midlife' guy and I've lived in both Europe (Italy) and the US and... yeah. I had a better social life in Italy. We have friends here in the US too, but people by and large are a bit more superficial. Maybe they'll give you a big "Oh HIIIII, how AAAAARE you?!" at the supermarket, but even after all these years back in the US, when we go back to Italy, we'll get a super warm welcome and spend the evening chatting with friends there like we'd never left.

I don't think it's something easily explained by this, that or the other thing. Denmark is different from Italy, and Oregon is different from Alabama. Even within Italy, Padova is very different from Palermo.

I'm very 'urbanist', but it's not just that, although it helps. There's just a lot of things going on and you could probably write a book about it.
If AI/robots can do everything a human can, and if the cost vs productivity of them exceeds humans, then the ruling class would no longer have any interest in keeping humans around.

We fear AIs. What if they don't do what we want? They are unpredictable. What if they turn on us, what if they rise up and kill us? The ruler fears the commoner in exactly the same way. That's why they have always been paranoid about maintaining control, monitoring and censoring communication, restricting access to information. My guess is that many of them would prefer AIs to humans, AIs might be more predictable and easier to control.

What do they need humans for? To protect them, fight their wars, grow their food, make their robots and AIs, and take care of all their needs. Once machines can do all that, a lot of them would feel safer and happier without people around shitting up the place, sharing their resources, spreading diseases, posting things on wikileaks, voting, protesting, revolting.

There's going to be interesting times ahead. Whatever happens it certainly won't involve the have-nots with unlimited leasure time, courtesy of those who control the machines.

Love the idea and lived in London to experience this. Amazing way to work but long term living is expensive as everyone wants to live like this, the photos shared in the article in London and Amsterdam are some of the most expensive places to reside. I believe what many feel is this is just another development exclusively for the $500k+/yr family and ultimately will lead to more traffic congestion for the surrounding areas and less affordability for surrounding towns.

As others have commented why not redevelop existing cities, rather than creating more urban sprawl? If bureaucracy/corruption in local government is a problem then fund politicians and get voters out to change this. Why arent feds involved in redevelopment? SF/Oakland/Berkeley are nowhere near the dense living of europe but they are going in the right direction. The problem these cities have is they simply arent run very well and have weak leadership that flop along with whatever the current thing is.
Well said. Personally, I find modern suburbs to be dystopian. They are full of cookie cutter houses with zero creativity or self expression of the owner, and built with the cheapest materials possible. Their only purpose is to be the dark prison you go back to from your job so you can sit inside and watch TikTok until you fall asleep. Then you wake up, drive to work or sit inside and work remotely, then do it all over again.

On top of that, zoning laws usually mean there's no businesses or community spaces where you might gather to eat or hang out with the people who live around you.
I don’t think it’s related to the Protestant work ethic that much. After all, the loneliness problem is more of a recent phenomenon – and America used to be far more of a Protestant country.

I would chalk it up more to the slow erosion of social expectations and standards, the proliferation of cell phones and social media, and the consistent push towards individualism and away from family/community values.
> realistic looking sites and emails

I'm not sure if it's configuration-dependent, but the emails should be realistic and reflect the tools/services your org uses. Sending them Zoom-branded emails foe example while the org has never used Zoom is pretty pointless. The ones I've experienced unfortunately can be spotted from a mile away due to how low-effort they were (something an actual targeted attack will never do - a targeted attack email would look perfect with the exception of the factors they can't fake such as the "From" address).

> Without embarrassing or punishing them

At the end of the day, the objective is that they don't engage with suspicious e-mails - whether they do that out of concern for security or out of fear of embarrassment/losing their paycheck is irrelevant.

You want people to be afraid to fall for an attack. The fear should be about negative consequences to the organization and the general unpleasantness that comes out of it, but fear of embarrassment works too.

Despite reading it twice I couldn't come away with why they chose char/s or Hz as an appropriate measure. They also provided no benchmarks or model sizes except for a relative comparison with models 10x or 100x in size, which leads me to assume this is a small model maybe?

It’s sub-urban, it was developed as one of the earlier sub-urban expansions of the city. Lots of suburbs predate the Levittown style of suburb we associate with suburbs today but that doesn’t change what it is and how it came to be.

The irony of this professor's statements is that public schools are the ones doing the indoctrination.

As one with multiple homeschooled siblings, one who won a ton of college scholarship money, and knowing other homeschoolers who have done the same thing, I know this is an outright lie. The teachers unions hate homeschoolers and school choice because it lessens their power.

The College Board used to separately publish test scores of homeschool students vs everyone else, and the home schoolers always did better. For some mysterious reason, they quit publishing them separately any more.

Yeah. It's nice to meet up with a friend and get a through answer as to how it's going, but if I've been following along your vacation through your social media feed, what is there to really talk about? Your social media feed isn't going to give me the whole story, but unless we really want to dig deep because we're really good friends, then there's not so much to talk about.

8h time-restricted eating linked to a 91% higher risk of cardiovascular death
Lonely 40 year old here. I quit socializing because I couldn't afford to do the things my friends wanted to do. Eat and drink at bars, go to movies, travel to conventions.

For a time, I was participating even though I couldn't afford. I racked up significant credit card debt. For me it's all about money, the language that communicates value. If my net worth is negative, that means I'm taking value away from society rather than contributing, and I won't put myself out there until I rectify that.

There is a societal trend where wealth/HDI and # children are inversely correlated (https://ourworldindata.org/fertility-rate). The US is generally wealthier than the Europe and has a higher HDI. "loneliness" might be measuring the same weird effect; ie, related to wealth and comfort.

I don't understand it, I just observe it.
Centralized management of those is near-non-existent though.

I'd recommend Yubikeys (or actual smartcards even, if hardware constraints allow) used in PIV mode with a client certificate authing to an internal SAML/OIDC provider which seamlessly bridges to third-party apps.

This is immune to phishing because there's literally nothing to phish, beyond maybe the PIN but it's pretty pointless as it would still require the Yubikey/smartcard to be of any use. When done well, it's also a great UX because nobody ever sees an actual login screen. Unlocked smartcard present = you are logged in everywhere.

Not sure this is very causative. The study seems like it spanned up to 17 years and required self reported diet details. There is little isolation in such a study and there’s no word on when/how long people kept this diet. I’m a little skeptical.
I feel like it would be better to display the speed in ms instead of seconds.

30-50ms seems easier to read than 0.03s - 0.05s. especially since you say milliseconds in one of the taglines.

Also curious how no rate limiting works. Feels like a promise waiting to be broken.

Otherwise, really like that you have a nice hobby plan. Will need to find a place to try it out.

Interviewing is a skill and via the right practice you can get better at it. I went down that path and got much better at it. Some things to think about:

- you can do practice interviews with peers, some people will be good and some will be bad. Anyway, record them, play them back, take notes on how to get better, and repeat.

- get a list of sample questions, all of them, and figure out through some thought what the best answer to each is, and then drill on that. I used Anki, made hundreds of cards

- learn about MECE and make your answers MECE compatible

YMMV but I was able to really make a leap via some deliberate practice over the course of a couple months.

You can generate pretty reliable texture depth maps from just an image. It’s going to be trash if you’re trying to generate the depth for the entire 3D model but I presume it’s going to go a good job with just texture. Then you just use a displacement based on the depth map.
