Something is missing in that story. Afghanistan isn't a great location for any sort of agriculture: it lacks the reliable rainfall and flat plains needed for optimal cereal cultivation. And as a landlocked country it's impossible to export large volumes of grain. Most of what they grow has always been for domestic consumption.

It is precisely because of those obstacles that opium poppies are one of the few practical cash crops. One motorcycle can carry the refined output of an entire farm.

tl;dr at the end of the article:

1. People are driven to imitate others, but hate to admit it

2. Imitation is the basis of most businesses, but it's always disguised because customers are ashamed of their mimetic desires.

3. We need to expose these disguises, because the drive to imitate leads to rivalry and conflict.

4. Mimetic rivalries are the source of blood feuds and reciprocal violence —which are traditionally resolved by the sacrifice of a scapegoat.

5. The scapegoat combines opposites— and is often both victim & hero, sacred & profane, guilty & innocent.

6. The persecution of scapegoats is a uniting force behind many institutions and practices, but participants cannot admit this because it delegitimizes their efforts.

7. Humans fail to perceive their own scapegoats-so persecution continues while everybody absolves themselves of individual guilt.

8. Our most violent impulses are stirred up by similarity, not difference.

9. Enemies resemble each other, because of mimetic rivalry, but this is another secret that cannot be mentioned. Our enemy is always portrayed as our opposite.

10. Artistic idioms often originate in imitation and ritualized sacrifice.

11. We want to protect victims, and are right to do so; but we need to avoid super-victimology, in which this only leads to targeting and punishing new scapegoats.

12. We can only escape the endless cycles of reciprocal violence by rising above our desire for vengeance and working instead to delegitimize the urge to punish and scapegoat.
Since when are Israeli citizens classed as civilians? They are settler colonialist larping as legitimate citizens, and ultimately a hostile occupying force. That's simple. Hamas has every right to use force as it was used upon them, to get their land back from this occupying force. Israelis can move and stop occupying other peoples land and then they wouldn't need to worry about these "indiscriminate rocket attacks". Israelis are really all about that I want my cake and to eat it to (and your cake also). A pretty pathetic people tbh.
Heh. Couple months ago my mortgage company applied a payment to two consecutive months, also paid by paper check. Maybe check processing skills are getting lost from the workforce.
I am sceptical, too. There are no efficiency numbers on their website, just marketing boilerplate.

Almost every public health tax hurts poor people. I'm sure you would agree that even taxing tobacco hurts poor people because poor people are the largest user base of tobacco and since they are addicted, taxing tobacco is tantamount to taxing the poor directly (and has little effect on the non-smoking rich). That doesn't mean the tax is a bad thing.

Subsidize what you want more of, tax what you want less of, and all.

The evaluations are not comprehensive either. All of them are improving and you can't expect any of them to hit 100% on the metrics (a la. bayes error rate). It gets increasingly difficult to move the metrics as they get better.
I am not sure what the case is today and in all areas but for what it’s worth, in 2013ish when I got hit with two tickets back to back when I drove to a conference that was on the edge of the congestion zone two days in a row, I went back to the location on foot and walked all around and there was zero signage indicating that the street I turned onto was the congestion zone, and the opposite end of the street I turned immediately out of it.
Astronomers aren't using software to determine the length of the day, but telescopes. (Well, they are using software too, but that isn't the problem.) The artificial second we use for our clocks because that's easier for some of our other sciences and technologies does not set the standard for what a day is. So something has to give, and the astronomers were there first, and for good reason, because their definition conforms to what humans actually think of what a day is. It is the computer makers that have made substandard software and push its cost onto society.
I'm very much over the age of 18 and I will not be giving out my ID or anything like that to browse content. There are some many reasons why I don't want to do it and many reasons why I think having that information at all is a bad idea.

We have been using this for a couple of months now and it works really well. It's so much better than writing OpenAPI by hand, and I never ever will do that again after working with TypeSpec.

Who am I?

I'm a machine learning engineer with 5 years of experience building and deploying ML systems across domains such as LLMs and recommendations. I've seen firsthand how challenging it can be for companies, especially startups and small businesses, to find and hire top ML talent. The demand is high, the supply is limited, and the costs can be prohibitive.

That's why I created Buffy AI. Our mission is to make world-class machine learning engineering accessible to any company, regardless of size or budget.

Instead of going through the time-consuming and expensive process of recruiting an in-house ML engineer, with Buffy AI you can get the machine learning expertise you need, when you need it, for a fraction of the cost. Our network of vetted ML engineers are available on-demand to help with any stage of your project - from data preparation and model training to deployment and monitoring.

Benefits of the Buffy AI model:

- Pay only for the engineering hours you use, no salaried commitments
- Spin up ML resources flexibly based on your project needs
- Get access to a wide range of ML skillsets and domain knowledge
- Accelerate time-to-market for your ML applications
- Avoid the challenges and costs of recruiting ML talent

If you're working on a machine learning project and need engineering support, I'd love to chat. We have some capacity for new clients starting next month.

I'm also happy to answer any questions about ML engineering, the current talent landscape, or how Buffy AI works. Looking forward to the discussion!
I guess "improving the roads" has been decided to be impossible. Whether it is or isn't, it sure would be a great way to increase congestion, if that was your desired outcome. You might then expect them to use the money to improve roads instead of giving to an unaccountable city controlled subway monopoly.

It's a baffling bureaucracy there in NYC.
From the post in case you missed it:

Q: Will other import sources be supported in the future?

A: We plan to integrate our OVF/OVA import tools into this new stack in the future. Currently, integrating additional import sources is not on our roadmap, but will be re-evaluated periodically.
Still think about this essay on the topic I saw on twitter a few years back:

https://hmmdaily.com/2018/10/18/your-real-biological-clock-i...

> If you intend to have children, but you don’t intend to have them just yet, you are not banking extra years as a person who is still too young to have children. You are subtracting years from the time you will share the world with your children.

Thankfully my VPN provides unlimited connections. Everyone I know in Texas has my account now.
My story covers both ends of this.

Mom had me at 21 (dad was 30). I knew both my grandmothers and neither of my grandfathers. One was left behind when my mom's family immigrated. The other died not too long after my dad's family immigrated - just before my dad was born

I had my son (now 4) when I was 41. Both his grandmothers are around, and neither of his grandfathers. My dad died last year and my son barely remembers him. My wife's dad died when she was two.

I'm glad to say my son and my mother are very close - they spend every other weekend together. His other grandmother and my wife aren't close and so my son doesn't know her very well.

Not sure if there's much here - except to say that having kids in our thirties should still be young enough that healthy grandparents can be around for the formative years. And regardless of age, life happens, and a multi-generational family unit isn't guaranteed.
For a substack called "memoirs & rambles", I think writing in a style that conveys a bit of the writer's own personality is fine, even if it comes at the expense of clarity. Not everything has to be an Argument Paper.
> Financially, a doctor won't notice it.

Not all doctors make enough money to not notice it, especially ones earlier in their career.

Regardless, assuming you have two working adults each paying the $15 toll once a day, conservatively, working 250 days a year, that's $7,500/year that has to come from somewhere. I can't imagine an income level (even if it doesn't affect your quality of life) where that's not an insanely frustrating amount to pay… to the MTA of all places. That money getting reinvested into useful infrastructure would be a dream come true!

The really annoying thing is that we're so close to doing better - openfirmware is decades old, and if we must throw that away UEFI is in fact portable; we could have UEFI ARM machines with nice normal busses that the OS can enumerate and boot just like x86. But, y'know, that would cost another 10 cents a board so we get to live with the current trash. (I mean, this is even a thing that we do use to boot VMs and Windows on ARM, and AIUI ex. https://libre.computer/ does use UEFI firmware, the adoption is just super limited)
I would pick Smithy if I had to go spec-first.

I currently tolerate OpenAPI because I'm using a robust code-first approach (Tapir in Scala) on the server side, but I otherwise agree, the ecosystem seems brittle.
We're talking about lower Manhattan, so in practice if they stay longer then they have to deal with alternate side parking or pay for garage parking.

College outreach has been part of YC's recruiting efforts for years. It doesn't mean others are excluded. Certainly everyone who wants to should apply for Startup School!
I realize that, but I do think it's doable to bootstrap it on a cluster and teach itself to self-prune, and surprised nobody is actively working on this.

I hate software that complains (about dependencies, resources) when you try to run it and I think that should be one of the first use cases for LLMs to get L5 autonomous software installation and execution.
Compared with other places, NYC air could be a LOT better.

Taxis are getting the conversion tax. Take and busses are by definition a tiny fraction of the impact.
Interesting! Not a good foundation for building a product on top of though...
We should take more breaks from sitting at our desks.
I was intrigued, but acoustically it doesn’t make a lot of sense really…the thrust exhaust where all the fast moving air comes out, also happens to be where all the loud comes out too. Their renderings don’t look like the engines are far enough forward for the fuselage to provide any significant obstructions to the path of sound from the exhaust down to the ground.
> VPNs will be highly regulated

I had hope for efforts like Freenet and Tor and I2P that are both censorship _and_ regulation resistant, but I've had hope for them for 25+ years and have yet to see them gain significant mindshare.
Proxy providers like SmartProxy, Bright Data, and others, offer residential and mobile proxies. This is how they get them (I'm not making any specific claims about who's behind the apps in the article, and each proxy provider makes their own claims, albeit opaque, about the source of their proxies being ethical)
Which part? Congestion charges or Byzantine rules designed to obfuscate? If the former, so do I. If the latter, why not simply charge the fees you want to charge rather than be shifty about it?
Yes, there are using different wording in different articles:

https://www.databricks.com/blog/introducing-dbrx-new-state-a...

The only mention of open source is:

> DBRX outperforms established open source models

https://www.databricks.com/blog/announcing-dbrx-new-standard...

Open source is mentioned 10+ times

> Databricks is the only end-to-end platform to build high quality AI applications, and the release today of DBRX, the highest quality open source model to date, is an expression of that capability

https://github.com/databricks/dbrx

On Github it's described as an open license, not an open source license:

Do you have a source for this? London is not known as a poor city. In addition, some people in both cities are wealthy but a lot more are not. I doubt someone living in the South Brox or Far Rockaway can afford a $15/day charge.
This is the sort of thing that makes me really want to just move out of NYC for good. They want to force you into the subway, but then they also refuse to lock up violent psychopaths who get arrested dozens of times a year for violent crimes in the subway system. It's a tax on people who value personal safety for themselves and their families, so they can shovel more money into the broken public transportation system that is never on time and which can't offer even basic safety to passengers.
The issue with the OkC data is that self-reports aren't particularly useful. The most meaningful metric is actual conversions (in the OLD context, you could call that either a match, the existence of a reply-response pair, or something else along those lines).

That data is much harder to come by, but it'd show a significant correlation in who people choose to convert with.
> The questions are how much resistance is there in the labor force, and how does that impact the ability to recruit talent?

Easy: Give potential employees similar salaries to MAMAA companies, and a similar amount of freedom and independence (at least in the ways in which it is possible at a defense company) as it existed in the early days of Google and Facebook, and I think a lot of potential employees (though of course not all, but this is not necessary) will "forget" their initial moral objections and go for the money. :-)
Lmao it buckets it into a non-billable "personal" category. Doomscrollers can continue doomscrolling...
I'm sympathetic to this argument, but as an example someone from NJ could easily drive up to Secaucus Junction and hop on the NJ transit into Penn Station in about the same time as it would take to make it through tunnel + Manhattan traffic. If there are not good connections inside Manhattan or other parts of the city then that is a good argument for better public transit.
Yes, but I think the poster's point was that their locality maintained the roads using tax dollars collected from the locality - i.e. their local roads are sustainable system.

All US dollars are created by the US government, the ability of the US government to create valuable dollars comes from the tax base, so of course everything eventually goes back to taxes.

But it's not really relevant to the point.
Are you suggesting that Nancy Pelosi, who consistently beats the market through obvious insider trading for years in a row, bought a share in Databricks without any insider info? Possible, yet unlikely is my opinion.

https://jacobin.com/2021/12/house-speaker-paul-stocks-inside...

PS: "without a fluctuating share price" is non-sense. Just because the share is of a private company, doesn't mean its price can't fluctuate. Why would anybody buy shares in private companies if the price couldn't fluctuate? What would be the point?

Why is taxing people the only solution?

Why not do it the other way? Pay people to take public transport-i.e. make it free and even incentivize it by adding on other perks.

The US has a huge inefficiency issue, tax money is not used effectively, and a good fraction goes into carefully designed money laundering scams. More tax money here is like eating more to avoid stress.
How about to use the congestion zone you need a transponder which you register for, and annually you update your information in the registration portal?
There are always exceptions to any rule, but the vast majority of Manhattan drivers aren't poor and the vast majority of poor people passing through Manhattan don't drive.

You're thinking of some other kind of place like the middle of america, where that would make sense.
I'm not sure why the submitter went with that headline instead of the actual headline of the article: "How AI could explode the economy and how it could fizzle.". The piece itself discusses both "AI will be a huge economic boon" and "AI will have little economic effect" stances.

My prediction is that it will not cause explosive economic growth, but it will have noticeable economic effects that will benefit some at the expense of others.
proxmox is using LVM for direct attached raw volumes.
LVM is just a logical volume manager for linux, which gives you more features than using old fashioned disk partitioning. I guess they chose this path for windows virtual machine migration because windows running on vmware before, does usually not have the required virtio drivers installed to support the qemu hypervisors virtio solution for disk bus virtualization out of the box. It would mean the hypervisor has to simulate IDE or SCSI bus which comes with great overhead perfomance wise (in the case of migration)

So an direct attached lvm volume is the best solution performance wise. In the vmware world this would be an direct attached raw device either from local disk or SAN.

For fresh install on proxmox its better to chose qcow as disk image format with virtio-scsi bus (comparable to vhdx, vmdk, qemus disk format) and add virtio drivers during windows setup.
"yourself" is mostly nonsense illusion throw at current present attention. ;)

The thing with statistics, is that you have to gather data which have some consistency before you apply any statistics tool and try to draw some conclusions.

We can agree that any individual is more than the indefinitely various number of categories under which we can label this individual, but at the end of the day there only a limited amount of data we actually really have on any person that ever existed, and even less consistent set of data other many people under any category we can think of.

While this doesn't change the essence of your claim, the problem is not with UTC timestamps but with Unix timestamps. UTC timestamps (HH:MM:SS) are actually unique because the extra second inserted is assigned the numeral 60. Unix timestamps do, however, repeat when a leap second is inserted.
So the obvious question is why those 75% aren't making fonts?
