But in practice, we're so far behind on the supply side that we could densify much of our cities and inner suburbs and still see values rise. And I'm not convinced that when done in a playful manner, that densification doesn't add value to existing SFHs, despite now being located in a noisier/denser/whatever area. People largely prefer convenience and not driving all the time. Just walking to school is a huge plus - fewer noisy buses, more healthy kids, etc.

Arlington VA added a ton of mid-rise and high-rise development in the 80s/90s (Clarendon, Courthouse, Ballston) with good results. Reston VA is now doing the same and home that were $400k a decade ago are selling for nearly double. In both cases, the scope of in-fill was tightly controlled - the local governments created dense zones around the Metro stations - which makes sense.

Who is "they"? It looks like the origin is coming from a quote by Larry Callies who runs the Black Cowboy Museum. Is everything quoted correct? I don't know but it read as a fun story that may be some mix of truth / story and probably heavily location specific. I am not sure sure that would classify as "race-baiting".

That's a good point, though i already thought the OpenAI team had been very agressive in sweeping both reddit, usenet, + various illegal megatorrents of books, forum dumps etc. I remember there were some controversy around it on twitter a few months ago.

One thing though is books/content/media from other language spheres though that could probably at least 10x the size of the data, and as far as i know translation starts to work rather well in these larger models so it would probably just plug right into the knowledgegraph for all languages?

In VASA there is way to much body movement instead of just being he head as if camera is moving in the strong winds. EMO is a lot more human like.

Unless corporations have more actual influence on politics than citizens. People are used to reject referendum that still gets applies in some other ways by the politicians.

Bingo.
I agree and disagree. I've definitely experienced this, but I've come to the conclusion that the problem is bouncing around in my head for those 2 hours, quietly grinding away in the background. Then, when person B explains it, my brain is more receptive to it. At work as a developer, I'll often encounter a difficult problem, and walk away for a few minutes. Then, if still stuck, I'll go to the gym. Usually when I come back I'll have the answer coded in 5 minutes.

However, I've definitely had the case where person B just explains it better (for me). I still can't completely discount that my brain was primed for it by person A.

Why? Having a separate division also has upsides, like keeping it away from terrible exec interference.

A lot of products we take for granted today succeeded because they were a sort of skunkworks project away form the reach of the mothership that's full of execs who would have tried to push their own agenda in the product or shut it down due to their lack of vision.

> having the literature cluttered up with the same explanations again and again becomes clunky

I think that really is the best reason for not being more accessible. Along with less work - given a good paper already can take a lot of work to write clearly even for the immediate audience.

But there is tremendous value in reaching a wider audience, for readers, writers, and the very real serendipity of cross pollinating ideas. So an easily skipped concise titled section, that gave a little context or example for the non-inside crowd, would be a nice tradition. Even an appendix - although that might strike the established culture as too quirky.

Some papers manage to do something like that, a colorful example or perspective adding levity as well as clarity. So it is not breaking any barriers. Just not standard or prescribed.

Or maybe it wouldn't have much impact. I tend to find reasons to dive into many different new topics, so it is a prevalent need for one!
What I found very annoying with calculus specifically was the previous 15 years I had been memorizing formulas. Formula to get the area of something remember this thing. Formula to get the volume of something remember this formula. Formula to get the angle of something remember this formula. But if I had known the way of calculus and derivatives I could make those formulas. I now have the ability to have a formula factory instead of devoting tons of mental space to keeping those formulas. I feel I wasted 15 years rote memorizing things instead of understanding the N spaces things live in and how to get the formulas.
iperf3 is popular because its in the router software stack and a good way to check the raw performance. I know from my own experience that iperf3 on windows performs fairly similar to Linux on a modern machine all the way up to 10 gbit/s. Its a theoretical problem not a practical one but if Microsoft has a better solution then they can open source it and do the work to include it in the open source router software and it will get used.
That threshold is precisely the problem in the first place. It is a weird and arbitrary limit that "just by coincidence" happens to target a bunch of really huge American companies.

Personally I hope it is that they just put that limit at the high number to warm up and then ratchet it down. But then they should say so.
Commercial pilots are in a crisis to be sure and the FAA restricts healthcare access to avoid this reality.

Take this CDC page for example, https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/radiation/air_travel.html

If you regularly are a passenger. Perhaps once a week. Simply being at that high altitude subjects you to fairly significant amount of radiation, per flight it's less then a chest xray, but imagine being a pilot... you're clearly getting above limits of radiation.

How about stress? Airlines often tell pilots they have to get to Toronto asap, and so you rush out the door or you lose your job. Then you flight from toronto to vancouver and you eat trash high processed foods. Hope you feel 100% and don't crash that passenger jet in 40km/h cross winds and 80km/h gusts. Dont worry... you have just enough fuel for 1 go around.

Also I'm sure it's fine... its just multiple Boeing whistleblowers saying they should all be grounded... nothing to worry about or stress you out.

Right, I wrote the above comment in a way that implied I blame the experts; I didn't actually mean that, by first approximation my "most likely" belief is simply that experts don't help at all.

But it's not hard to come up with actual causal reasons why experts are actively making things worse:

1. if people have confidence in experts, they'll seek treatment from them, and forego other, potentially more effective, treatments (in this particular case: making and talking to friends, not therapists; prioritizing family, not shunning them; prioritizing community, not isolating; etc.)

2. experts make a living selling advice to patients, so it's in their implicit interest to keep having patients (either individually, not curing them, or society-wise, making more patients) (there's a lot of anecdata about "I asked a therapist how many patients they actually cured, and they looked at me bewildered")

3. I've seen some opinions, which echo mine, that experts seeking, reaffirming, and reminding patients of their "traumatic experiences" might hurt more than it helps (e.g. talking to therapist every week makes you re-live your traumatic experience; narrowing the definition of "consent" and convincing women they've been raped; convincing children they're trans (they used to be called "tomboys!"); in general marking fairly normal life experiences - job loss, job stress, death in family, etc. - as "traumatic" and "requiring therapy")

probably more
It's pretty simple chain:

1. Most consumers using Windows. That might not be the case in USA, but definitely the case in the most of the world.

2. To develop for a platform, primary choice would be platform creator recommendation. In this case it's obviously .NET from Microsoft Visual Studio. It contains extensive UI libraries and components.

There are alternatives, of course, you can use Qt or Electron or just web app. But you would need a good reason to move from the primary path. For many projects there's no good reason, so you naturally using .NET to write GUI applications for Windows.

3. To develop .NET GUI applications, you need Windows. Any other option is inferior.

That was the case 10-20 years ago. So plenty of projects were created and plenty of developers were taught .NET and Windows.

Today web apps are more popular. But .NET provides excellent support to create web apps, so there's no reason to switch from Windows.

That's why many professional developers use C# even today.

Of course different people might move different paths. But I think for majority that's the way. .NET GUI frameworks and may be Sharepoint created huge number of Windows developers.
No, of course not.

The governments of where these global digital infrastructure providers reside should sanction China. These global companies will then be forced to close their China businesses down just like what is happening right now in Europe with Russia at the US' request.

Of course this would mean that, unlike in banking where Europe is the biggest loser when liquidating their Russia business (see Austria and their RBI), this time the US would be the biggest loser. Ergo, the only way we'll ever see betterment is if someone else (i.e. the EU) sees these sanctions through.

Since the lobby building is right next to the EU's HQ in Brussels and they go partying together every Thursday, I highly doubt this will ever happen.
> It’s not unethical to comply with the law in foreign countries and,

It is, when that very law itself is unethical.

> while I obviously don’t agree with China’s censorship

Oh? And why is that an "obvious disagreement" for you? Are you trying to say something like everyone has a right to freedom of expression? If so, then you should stand with companies that try to promote those rights, rather than those who help remove those rights at the expense of turning a profit.

In my experience not doing that is a bad idea. Hardware and software depend on each other. There should be good communication between them.
I agree with the sentiment but "makes them feel unsafe" is too low of a bar in a world filled with neurosis. An incorrect opinion seems to be a common trigger, and those are a necessary part of growth and exploration.

In this case no, from the data observed, it still looks like we can train with 500T+ tokens before we start seeing overfitting. We are severely under training. I don't think anyone realized how much training was needed till OpenAI, once OpenAI started observing emergent behaviors they released to show what was possible and set almost a trend of how long to train. Fortunately Meta decided to buck that trend to see what would happen, and what we have seen is smaller models get smarter.
I've seen a lot of comments, in this thread and others, to the effect of: "I didn't get math until I looked at it in a different way, with a lengthy span of time in between." Maybe just the two different looks and the time span by themselves are beneficial.

Except that is only true since those attributes were introduced in recent .NET versions, and it doesn't account for COM marshaling issues.

Plenty of .NET code still using the old ways that isn't going to be rewritten, either for these attributes, or the new Cs/WinRT, or the new Core COM interop, which doesn't support all COM use cases anyway.
Thanks!

Seems strange they measure the contamination by averaging only samples that were contaminated? Anywhere else that would be called 'cherry-picking' (no pun intended).

Sure it's bad if any samples are contaminated. But this might be a few in a thousand, and the whole category is painted with that brush. Seems like it's designed to create scary numbers.

Yes, almost everyone gets that. Then you need to explain that x is really 1 x. Then you need to explain that -x is really (-1)x. Everything is great. We all understand. Now simplify (1/2) x + 3x. You’ll lose most people at this step. Then explain (1/2) x - (2/3)x. More confusion. Now explain that ax+x is (a+1)x. You lost a lot of people at this step. Now explain that xy+ x^2y is (x+x^2)y and that this is just the distributive property “in reverse”.

Sometime later a person will really grok all this and then say, “why didn’t they just tell us this is all just the distributive property?”

>Pixel hardware fails because they don't have good distribution channels.

No, Pixel HW fails because it's shit: weak call signal reception and 5G performance due to poor Samsung modem, low performance compared to Apple and Qualcomm, high battery drain, overheating, software bugs that get in the way of you dialing calls, dimples in OLED display, poor design with ultra thick visor, questionable warranty support, AI features only exclusive to the US market but not EU making them useless, etc. Much of the issues that do not exist on Apple and Samsung phones.

Carriers go with Apple and Samsung because those brands are a slam dunk with consumers, are well known and mostly reliable by this point with fewer lemons, and when they do fail, there's service centers for them everywhere. Pixels are mostly bought by enthusiasts who will forgive the rough edges for the chance of being Google's software beta testers.

Multiple reasons:

1. Size. DMA requirement is >=7.5b turnover in the EU, or worldwide market cap >=75b. Not the case for Spotify.

2. Non-provision of core platform services. It's not just "important gateway between business users and consumers", it's "important gateway between businesses and consumers *in relation to core platform services*". Core platform services are e.g. search engines, operating systems, browsers, app stores and so on. This is why Spotify isn't a gatekeeper.

And the exact same reasoning applies to American companies. Video streaming platforms like Netflix are also excluded for example, even though Netflix has a market cap >=75b.
Because those are phones people want. Their ads are splashed everywhere. Pixel phones are not enough to get people to sign up with a carrier.
Here's a recent comment of mine that talked about some of the ups and downs of choosing C# and .NET for a webdev project of mine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40022126

In short, nowadays it's a pretty strong contender and can fill in similar niches to Java (decent type system, good runtime, good tools, nowadays available on most platforms), with downsides that to me don't seem like dealbreakers (not as big of an ecosystem, which leads to breakages along the way when tools and libraries aren't as well maintained).

I've also used Node, Python, Ruby, PHP, a bit of Go and some others on the back end, I'd say that it's a bit slower to develop in than many of those but the performance and maintainability of the code (especially the refactoring you can do in the IDEs) feels worth it. Maybe for not quick MVPs, but probably for multi-year projects.
