> On the social side: the gamble is that social growth will outpace the increased economic pressure. Meaning, you need the new vertical growth to create opportunities faster than it increases prices further in the area. A land tax alone wouldn't pull people out of poverty, create affordable housing, or open up public school. Those are all just potential avenues for the city to develop, not guarantees.

There are a lot of ill defined and bizarre things here. What is "economic pressure"? I have never heard such a term before. Why would there be "price increases" (inflation)? I have never heard anyone serious posit a link between density and inflation. It's the exact opposite because economics of scale and scope can deliver services more efficiently. Why shouldn't a land tax contribute towards "affordable housing" when the economic logic predicts it will have a deflationary impact on housing costs? Why do you think I'm saying that a land tax will "open up [new] public schools"? I said there would be a change in incentives away from excluding poor people from your local school catchment area, which has historically driven local resistance to upzoning. Honestly, it sounds like you should read up on basic economics before you form these opinions. The subject matter is primarily economics and such basic knowledge is a prerequisite to understanding the rationale behind one tax or another.

> The more you build up the more steel, concrete, glass, energy, etc is needed.

No, this is forgetting that you have the same number of people in either scenario. It takes more resources to build 1000 single detached homes (and associated roads, train stations, shops etc) than 10 apartment buildings with 100 homes (with less roads, less train stations than the former scenario).
I guess it depends what you make it of, doesn't it? Growing up I had a typical corrugated roller door, it was very easy for me as a kid to open it with some of the weight supported by the roller. I think they have springs but they're not as extreme as the tilt/section doors. Apparently you can throw a motor on the end similar to roller blind kits, and they wouldn't have to deal with as much weight as a spring-based door. Of course, I do not live in an extreme weather area (yet).
There are also plenty of virtual groups around that offers p2p interviews (each side interviews another).

These might be better for initial warmup as the only cost is an extra hour of your time (but it also allows you to experience the interview from the interviewer's perspective).
> rapid acceleration and braking are symptoms of bad driving

Big fat "citation needed". I haven't seen convincing evidence that supports this at all.

And even if such evidence exists, I think there are a lot of edge cases: like what if your daily commute involves entering or leaving a highway where the ramp is unusually short? You're going to have to accelerate hard to come up to speed, or brake hard to get down to a safe speed. Should people be penalized for that? I would hope not, that the software would consider that to be infrequent, but I don't trust other people's closed-source software to make decisions that can greatly affect people's finances.

(For the record, I don't think I accelerate or brake particularly hard all that often, so I'm not trying to protect myself here; I have no dog in this race aside from a desire to protect people's privacy and minimize surveillance capitalism.)
The article is partially about dealing with this issue.
> It’s been holding up pretty well for the specific memory safety guarantees offered by modern languages

That seems unrelated to whether people need to be perfect to avoid security exposures. In fact, it would seem to be in contradiction.

> if your language is unsafe and has a bunch of foot guns in it, all the users of that language have to be perfect all the time to avoid trouble

That's an entirely different argument, and depends on the semantics of "unsafe" and "foot guns". I think it's more than fair to say that having more protections in place allows for mistakes to avoid becoming vulnerabilities more often, but that's a different argument.

I think we're on the same page that this is ultimately an issue of not following up the levels. Actually, it seems that it was worse than that - multiple physicians over a span of four months saw the calcium level > 11 and didn't act on it. (Imagine if it was a hypercalcemia of malignancy with that much diagnostic delay.)

I guess your argument is that a medication that requires a provider to order follow up labs shouldn't be OTC. My counter is that there are probably at least one to two orders of magnitude more people hospitalized for NSAID induced renal injury annually than there are people hospitalized for vitamin D induced hypercalcemia. Maybe those people could be saved from renal injury if their PCP followed their creatinine, but if we set the bar at that level than virtually no medication would qualify for OTC. This is an era where patients expect more autonomy, including the ability to self direct treatment with lower risk medications. You're absolutely right that vitamin D shouldn't be billed as zero risk, but it's certainly low risk.

As to vitamin D being a hormone, I think that's neither here nor there, especially if the question is whether vitamin D should be available OTC. I think patients tend to mentally translate "hormone" to steroid sex hormones or HGH, since those are the ones that they read and hear about in the media. Those have a lower therapeutic index and broader constellation of side effects than vitamin D does. So even though it is completely accurate to call vitamin D a hormone, it's a term that is overloaded with so much baggage that I don't think it's useful for communicating with laypeople.

Anyway, I disagree with those points, but I do think parts 1 and 3 of your article series were quite good. I have to admit that I didn't realize some labs set the upper limit of normal for 25(OH) that high, so part 2 was a learning point for me as well.

> “Oscar, do you mind sharing your screen so Deepak and Deanna can see the weird log messages too?”

it seems so obvious from an Incident Commander perspective but so much goes into this workflow during an incident

* what if the person is a fresher, you are asking him to share screen, debug and perform actions in front of 100 people in the incident call and the anxiety that comes with it

* While IC has much more practice with handling fires continuously, for instance, if there is a fire every week in a 50-team organisation, a specific team would only be seeing their first incident once a year

* Self-consciousness/awareness instantly triggers a flight or fight response from even the most experienced folks

I don't know how other industries handle such a thing, I'm pretty sure even in non-tech there would be a hierarchy for the anomaly response and sometimes leaf level teams might be called to answer questions at top level of the incident response (like a forest fire response, might have a state wide response team and they pulling local response team and making them answer questions) probably they get much more time to prepare than in tech where its a matter of minutes

This might be the wrong website upon which to poo-poo LLMs, but as a counter-observation: the trick with LLMs is knowing how to evaluate their output for correctness, since hallucination is a very real risk. Professionally, reading forums, blogs, and the Stack Exchange network carries similar risk, but also comes with (a) at least they were trying to be helpful (b) the voting and moderation system as a mild form of reining it in

Thus, unless one wanted to make a "ParentalLLM" through which one could submit questions to an ourhouse.internal/api/v1/prompt api and get back "chat" responses over sms/some existing chat protocol, I'd carefully consider the risk verses reward of bringing LLMs into that process

I also recognize that I came up in the era of autodidactic lessons, and that predisposes me to "teach yourself how to fish" style approaches, but just wanted to draw attention to those LLM interactions coming with trade-offs

Those survey results probably don't mean what you think they mean. Among blind and visually impaired people, the term 'blind' can include basically anyone who is legally blind— it does not refer exclusively to the totally blind.

My mom has been legally blind for almost two decades now, IIRC. It's only within the past year or two that her computer and phone usage has begun to switch to primarily screen reader-based rather than primarily magnification-based. From then and continuing on to this day, she chooses between the terms 'low vision' and 'blind' (and various others) mainly according to what she thinks the person she's talking to will most easily understand. (Although over the course of time she has gradually shifted toward favoring the word 'blind', both as she becomes more connected to the local blind community and as her vision continues to degrade).

One thing to keep in mind is that going from normal/visual phone usage to a screen reader is like learning to walk all over again (and discovering that some paths are not for you anymore). It's starting over from zero, and it sucks. Going from typical visual usage to jacking up your font sizes is basically free, and using some kind of magnification a fairly natural next step. For people with progressive vision loss, there may be decades where one is 'blind', but it's still not efficient or opportune to drop everything and switch to relying exclusively on a screen reader.
That's what "psychosomatic" means.

But the prospect you raise is maybe one of the scariest and lends itself well to conspiracies. It can mean someone, maybe deliberately, caused some mysterious illness among diplomats, through suggestion alone, causing international tension. Not my hypothesis of choice, but it may actually be a more plausible conspiracy theory than sonic weapons.

Something happened, and something caused it. Just saying "it is a placebo effect" is dismissive. If it is a placebo effect, then where are the sugar pills? Who is the "loud and vocal collaborator"?

It made more than a thousand people sick, I think it shouldn't be dismissed, so that these people can get better, and to prevent others from suffering the same problems. Knowing the cause, be it psychological or physical, would certainly help.

Business are in general not solvent in their first years. Even some business such as Uber took 15 years to generate a profit [1].

However, the saying about "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." is that even if you can point out that say Enron / Wirecard / FTX are fraudulent, good luck making any money on that. Michael Burry nearly messed up his timing for '08 and could've lost to an investor revolt [2]; but he has messed up timing for Tesla (peak 400, current 200) and many other stocks causing him to exit those positions before making money.

On what planet do you live where dangerousness of work has anything to do with pay?

EMTs, who are basically doing the bulk of "saving people's lives" - are paid the lowest wages, worse than firefighters, police, and often even the dispatchers. Why? Because the market is totally saturated with former armed services folks. And in many states, assaulting a cop will get you in a fuckton of trouble, assaulting a firefighter will get you in a fair bit of trouble, but assaulting an EMT will (depending on the state) often get you...an ambulance ride, which you were probably getting anyway.

Retail workers, transportation workers, field workers...all very dangerous jobs and bottom-barrel pay.

You are talking about risks in a narrow technical sense. Insurance companies are more interested in the consequences of the disaster.

A reasonable worst case is something that could plausibly happen once in a century in the entire world with 10x more reactors than today. Maybe the reactor is located close to a major city. Maybe the company operating it has become incompetent and corrupt. Maybe the weather conditions are particularly unfavorable and most of the fallout goes towards the city. Maybe the meltdown was caused by a natural disaster that also makes evacuating the city harder. Maybe there are also widespread protests happening for an unrelated reason.

Or maybe the worst case is the incompetent and corrupt power company upgrading its reactors in a way that leads to a large number of meltdowns.

Remember that we are talking about what happens when the power company cannot pay and we don't want to socialize the risks. This is not something where the insurance company is allowed to set the terms. If courts and/or politicians ultimately determine that the power company is liable for $1 trillion, but its assets were only worth $100 billion, the insurance company must cover the rest.

just to not be cruel, it's an m3 without UKW-D, 3 rotors and a plugboard :)

EDIT: I think I answered my question looking at the code. There are a lot more rotors known (see cryptomuseum). Some things I found while writing an enigma: many online enigmas have some bugs with double stepping the wheel on a single press, which the machine did not do. The Humboldt University Berlin's online enigma is correct. There is also a very similar machine used by the Soviets until the 1980s that you can probably represent with the same datastructures called Fialka: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fialka.

My test case that returns different results on different emulators is: M3, rotors III, II, I, no ring setting, UKW-B, starting position AEQ. The string ABCDEFGHIJ produces OMUQBCLPVR in minarke.c and produces LUINDKMWNH in the University Humboldt Berlin enigma. I believe the latter is correct.
Oh! This is such a lightbulb comment for me. I distinctly remember growing up with the wobbly side springs, and then after the motor died switching to a “screw driven” system and those going away. Ever since I’ve only seen the “screw driven” ones and when I hear stories about garage door springs I wonder why I’ve never seen them… Now I know where the springs on my current garage door are.
I'm also struggling to find any examples of how to actually get a 3D model output. Very few references to this capability outside of the blog post.

Presumably, the same ability we have to scale software which drives the marginal cost of creating it down will apply to creating this kind of software.

The difference here though is the high compute cost might upset this ability to scale cheaply enough to make it worthwhile economically. We won’t know for a while IMO; new techniques could make the algorithms more efficient, or new tech will make the compute hardware really cheap. Or maybe we run out of shit to train on and the AI growth curve flattens out. Or an Evil Karpathy’s Decepticons architecture comes out and we’re all doomed.

Well, there's your first problem...
The existence of humans who do not suck is utterly irrelevant in calling out an industry where exploitative practises are prevalent. Some say they are the norm. Whatever your view of the proportion, reform is badly needed.

Good for you if you got lucky. Hurrah. You should be calling the exploitation out the loudest and most often on that basis, right? Otherwise it might erroneously appear that you're ok with your competition to secure an academic career being abused like this because it kinda works in your favor. And I'm sure you're not ok with it on that basis.
Yeah. Pizza delivery is surprisingly dangerous and they're paid very little.

Then again, underwater welding and helicopter chainsaw pilot pays quite well.

So sometimes it does, but it's not correlated.
string_view doesn't guarantee life time of the backing buffer either. It's a fundamentally memory unsafe type.
AI tags are to cover issues in the other direction: you publish an event as real, but they can prove it wasn't. If you didn't put the tag on it, malice can be inferred from your post (and further legal proceeding/moderation can happen)

It's the same as paid reviews: tags and disclaimers exist to make it easier to handle cases where you intentionally didn't put them.

It's not perfect and can be abused in other ways, but at least it's something.
I think that the disclaimer should be the other way around. It should be assumed that the message comes from the person you are talking to.

Nonetheless I've been tempted to add an "AI-free" or "written by a human" logo on my website. There just isn't a place where it would make any sense.
I can’t believe I hadn’t seen this earlier. Am I wrong, or could this change the software profession - accountability trickling down to the engineer which inevitably leads to insurance and licensure?

Natural language, python, c, assembly

The distance isn’t the same between them, but each one is more abstracted than the next.

Natural language can be ambiguous and ill defined. Because the compiler is smarter. Just like you don’t have to manage memory in Python, except it abstracts a lot more.

The fact is that this very instant you can compile from natural language.
Obviously the French laundry model doesn’t scale and obviously tastes vary. The Waffle House has its place. But better? Nah.
That's pretty much what I would have expected. I think it makes the most sense for users, since you wouldn't really want to download & store large models for each website. This is not what is covered in the WebNN specification though, and I've yet to hear of any effort to include models in browsers.

In any case, people don't behave rationally around risk. Nor do they understand statistics (evidence: lottery tickets get sold). But at the same time, overall it doesn't really hurt to get rid of this stuff, if done properly.
