I'd be curious to see this corrected for sleep deprivation. In California, and so also Silicon Valley, the building codes for noise proofing apartment complexes are much weaker than for condos. This means that you're unlikely to be able to reliably sleep through the night if you live in an apartment.

For reference, noise proofing a ~ 2000 sq.ft. house in 2020 cost about $2K as it was being built, so it's hard to make an argument about housing affordability, etc. We've had bad luck with older buildings that were renovated into "luxury living" apartments and with older non-renovated buildings.

We never rented a unit in a newer building, so I can't comment about those. It's possible that developers just pay the equivalent of two weeks rent per unit now to make the buildings be less miserable.

My take (while sleep deprived) was that the situation was just a giant "f--k the poor" on the part of the people that wrote the building codes.
Thank you for describing the situation without the analogy.

Semantic Versioning for ML Models
Don't all languages boil down to these 6?

A thought experiment on applying Semantic Versioning to ML models.
I read that many (10? 15?) years ago and it changed me. It literally, changed me. That blog post, and its comments (including one by the sister of the author... really difficult stuff) is incredibly hard and important to read.
Nice for you to make stuff up. The reality is that most statistics show that poor people tend to be much better with money than rich people. The myth that that poor people are poor because of poor management skills is just a stereotype that rich people tell themselves to feel good. Poor people are poor because they lack money. It's been shown over again the best way to get people out of poverty is to give them money. That's why microloan systems were so successful. Moreover financial training has essentially zero effect on lifting people out of poverty.
> Early internet --> Mostly harmless content, can find dark stuff if kids look for it but it's pretty hard to find. More dangerous than TV but not too bad.

In the early 90's the dark stuff was mixed in with the porn. If you were looking for porn on the internet before it was available on web browsers, aka on usenet or anonymous FTP, you got exposed to the dark stuff.

And I'm fairly confident that a large percentage of teens using the Internet in the pre-WWW age were looking for porn.

This is a feature, not a bug - although the situation could probably still be improved.

"multiple incompatible ways to do async" is another way of saying "you can use async on a tiny microcontroller without any OS at all, or in userspace on a 128-core Epyc CPU, or in the Linux kernel"

That's a unique feature of Rust compared to any of the languages with a single executor baked into the language like C# or Javascript. It does however come with costs, and one of those costs is that people who just want to write a web app are exposed to details they would much rather not have to see.

I think maybe he's saying that sometimes, one person can slip through if the appropriate conditions are met. Your implication is correct as well. He offers only an anecdote to back up the claim, but no data. Even assuming the anecdote to be true, and s/he has multiple childhood acquaintances from poverty who each now have a 5.8 million dollar or higher net worth [1], it would have little effect at the mean of the population.

Personally, I think the explanation is structural, or if you prefer, just math. Just statistical distribution will assure that if you're poor, 99 percent of you won't get into the 1%. You'll never amass the required 5.8 million dollar net worth.

In fact, I almost hate to say this, but it should be implied, whether you are poor or middle class, 90% of you will never even get into the 10%.

I'm not sure that it's a psychological state of mind, or even a statement on the innate abilities of poor or middle class people? I'm more confident that it's a simple structural barrier. There is not room in the 10% for every law abiding, intelligent, ambitious, hard working individual. Which means many law abiding, intelligent, ambitious, hard working individuals who are poor or middle class, will need to aim lower to increase their chances of success. It sucks, but just in my opinion, that's how things are, I'm not sure there's a way around it?

So I think what's happening is more along the lines of people, perhaps even unconsciously, realizing the structural reality, and adjusting their strategies accordingly. That poor or middle class kid says:

"You know it's a lot safer if I just become a nurse, teacher, or regular software engineer instead of trying to swing for the fences on a startup since I have no safety net to work with."

In fact, in a societal moral hazard kind of way, the more intelligent and rational that poor or middle class kid is, the more likely s/he is to say that. (Or maybe it isn't a societal moral hazard? Since we do need nurses, teachers, fire fighters, and so on. I don't know?)

I'm not because he will still make illegal moves for some time and it appears no different. It's not just about level of play.

>And, you've still not defined the gap between GPT being able to cite the rules of chess, yet not being able to apply them.

GPT-4 can't play chess. It's that simple. Can cite rules but can't play is a common enough occurrence in humans. Sure it's interesting to see that disconnect but nothing so bizzare it needs to be "explained".

And the training process is "dumb" like Evolution. It's not like a person reading a book anymore than evolution is like a person trying to create the "ultimate" animal so you can see things like this more often where there's a disconnect between the on paper rules and the environment for playing.

>It actually does not. It's just better at making you believe it does when it simulates understanding in those tests.

I'm sorry but this is just nonsense. Simulating understanding is a nonsensical argument. A plane isn't "simulating flight". It flies. If GPT can make it through whatever rigorous test you have in mind then it understands that thing. You want to believe in an imaginary distinguisher that's so important but can't be tested for and it's silly.

Sure, 5-10 years makes sense especially considering it took 5 years to build last time. But GP's formulation seemed to suggest a considerably longer expectation, and that's more what I was wondering about.

Automating knowledge work is what enables people to learn from books instead of hiring tutors. Teaching can now be done via tools and printing presses. This in turn means we can have libraries, which many people consider a key public good.

It's perhaps worth pausing to consider if we have any kind of useful ability to predict blowback on anything but a trivial scale. It was fifteen years between the invention of HTTP and the creation of Facebook. It was twenty five years between the invention of HTTP and the Cambridge Analytica breach. I do not think any person could have meaningfully predicted those on those timescales.

If we cannot currently usefully predict blowback, then what reason is there to try to anticipate it as a matter of policy?
Even if it's maintained, you don't know how good it is security wise.

Now that's a good interview.

> I think his biggest mistake was that he underestimated how quickly the industry would switch to mainly focusing on 3D.

I think his mistake was a bit more subtle than that. Because he didn't have any experience in 3D or anyone to ask for help, he didn't know which features were important and which features could be ignored. And he ended up missing roughly two important features that would have bought the Saturn upto the standard of "workable 3D".

The quads weren't even that big of a problem. Even if the industry did standardise on triangles for 3D hardware, a lot of the artist pipelines sick with quads as much as possible.

The first missing feature is texture mapping. Basically the ability to pass in uv coordinates for each vertex (or even just a single uv offset and some slopes for the whole quad). The lack of texture mapping made it very hard to export or convert 3D models from other consoles. Instead, artists had to create new models where each quad always maps to an 8x8 texel quad of pixels.

The second missing feature is alpha blending, or semitransparent quads. The Saturn did support half-transparency, but it only worked for non-distorted sprites, and you really want more options than just 50% or 100%.

With those two features, I think the Saturn would have been a workable 3D console. Still not as good as the playstation, but probably good enough for Sega to stand its ground until the Dreamcast launched.
Great to know, I pondered buying V2 as a V1 owner, but now they can kiss my butt.

The only downside is that Affinity V2 has no option to save files in a V1-compatible manner. Which stinks for exchanging stuff with other Affinity users.
Any job that is necessary can have higher pay. Agriculture is probably one of those things that are necessary, unless we all eat fish.

Higher wages in agriculture would mean a combination of less profit and/or higher consumer prices. That is not a sin. It is mostly politicd that demand that food prices have to be low so that the population don't realize how poor they are and much they are being robbed on corruption and waste.
Does this also apply to online transactions or are they free to keep boiling the frog?
It wasn't just the Saturn (though issues surrounding its release definitely didn't help) - Sega already looked kind of like bunglers after neither the Sega CD nor 32X really caught on.

A source based package manager which steals ownership of its packages when it sees fit is one that should struggle to attract contributions. It appeals even less than the copyright model where all contributions are automatically owned by some specific group.

Though an argument could be made that github is a host of free software dedicated to the copyright infringement of said software, at least it doesn't currently try to usurp the nominal ownership of the packages.

I think the missing link in tale is the failure of the SegaCD and 32X, which really poisoned Sega's core fans in the years before the Saturn.

A lot of diehards (like me) felt really burned by those failures.
> The law is ridiculous if it only turns on whether you had a lawyer ahead of time to tell you what not to say while operating the identical scam.

You'd be very shocked...

... but that's essentially what criminal defence is about :-/ In a sense half the value of having a defence lawyer is having somebody to remind you not to say stupid things to the police/investigators/prosecution.

Of course it's not really as simple as that, but you'd be surprised at the number of convictions where the prosecution relied on something stupid the defendant said. If (say) 50% of convictions "turns on whether you had a lawyer ahead of time to tell you what not to say", is the law ridiculous? Because that's what it generally is like (not just for securities fraud cases).

PS: for cases where it's particularly easy to feign ignorance/innocence, sometimes the law specifically states that the mens rea requirement is waived (i.e. the intent/knowledge does not matter, or does not need to be proved beyond reasonable doubt). This in turn gives opportunity for defence lawyers to argue this infringes on the right of the defendant to be presumed innocent..

The old Tappan Zee was basically a perfect encapsulation of "dumb midcentury infrastructure decisions."

1. Built to last only 50 years to save on materials (as the other commenter noted).

2. Built over literally the widest possible part of the Hudson because the governor got in a pissing contest with the Port Authority and wanted all the tolls to go to the state, which wouldn't have been the case had it been built like 2 miles south where the river is narrower.

3. Designed with zero redundancy, such that a "critical fracture could make the bridge fail completely because its supports couldn’t transfer the structure’s load to other supports." [0]

So yeah if we're being real, 50 years was quite optimistic.

The new Tappan Zee is apparently supposed to last 100 years, though given the incidents with substandard materials being used, as well as ever-increasing traffic, who knows.

That said, driving over a bridge 10 years past its planned EOL and being able to look down directly to the water through gaps in the concrete was always a nice feature though -- who needs coffee when you've got that to get your heart rate up!

This gave the 3D Sega Saturn games a more boxy look than PS1 counterparts. Comparing Resident Evil on Saturn and PS1 is a good side by side to see the difference. The overall result is that Sega Saturn games have a unique aesthetic in 90s 3D gaming.

It's also worth highlighting that the Sega Saturn's emulation is far behind other platforms. Perhaps it's the lack of success in the west, paired with the complex architecture.
I can’t believe they’re still allowed to call it that.

I was curious how the bill defines "social media" since it is a vague term. Here's the bill:
https://m.flsenate.gov/session/bill/2024/3/billtext/er/pdf

The definition starts near the bottom of page 3.

Seems to me like this criteria would be hard to prove and easy for platforms to game:

> Ten percent or more of the daily active users who are younger than 16 years of age spend on average 2 hours per day or longer on the online forum, website, or application on the days when using the online forum, website, or application during the previous 12 months or, if the online forum, website, or application did not exist during the previous 12 months, during the previous month;

Anyone know why that criteria even exists in the first place?

And as soon as you want to exchange anything in the real world you need the real world PoS system anyway like contracts or a law system.
Youtube tracking analysis from a knowledgeable mariner.

He says that at about 1:24 AM the ship loses power (from video feed) while traveling 8.5 knots.

at 1:25.30 power is restored.

at 12:25.59 the ship shows smoke. The ship has already drifted in the channel. It is believed that at this time the ship applied full reverse power as evidenced by the black smoke. (My analysis: the ship drifted but hasn't turned in the channel, more of a translation)

By 1:26.45 the ship has obviously turned in the channel pointing at the pier. Full reverse would cause prop walk to change heading angle;

1:28.52 impact at 7.6 Knots. Camera says 1:28.52, AIS reports the ship still moving at 1:29:35
