Sure there are 7B people in the world!

But I'm def smarter than people who spend $2500 on a few GB ram and no GPU. Plato suggests its wrong for smart people to be humble, it allows dumb people to step up and make their points.

If you arent compiling for iOS, you made an inefficient decision. There is a reason Apple is found on low to middle income consumer households, and not found in B2B. Guess which is most susceptible to emotional marketing.

Account recovery is a separate issue. There's nothing about a pass key that makes account recovery any harder or easier than if someone loses their MFA TOTP device or forgets their password.

Good. I thought Ford getting out of the car business was foolish, and don’t like driving on roads where nearly every vehicle is a giant truck/SUV.

These car companies can’t, in good faith, tell the public they are making EVs for the environment, while also only making massive trucks/SUVs that likely use 2x the materials as a smaller vehicle that would be fit for purpose for a large percentage of buyers.
In a cavity wall, it is the insulated cavity that provides 99% of the insulation. The inner and outer bricks, of whatever type, are so conductive that they can pretty much be ignored.

The reason aerated bricks are used is because they are lighter, and therefore cost less to produce and transport, and are therefore used wherever the structural engineer can get away with it.
Heh - I misspoke...I use WSL2, but I don't use the graphics stuff (WSL2+ ?).

Oh! In regards to your docker comment - Docker desktop kept choking on creating containers for ARM64 platforms (a libc version mismatch I think)...Long story short, uninstalled docker desktop from windows, installed Docker CE in Ubuntu/WSL2 and it just worked(tm) :-)
If they can really get stuff done in 18 hours and the cost is as competitive as the article claims, then adding standard interior drywall and exterior cladding to make it look like a regular stick house shouldn't inflate the cost of the house too much. The time savings on labor, equipment rental, and other fixed costs might pay for it.
depends on your gpu/motherboard.

SSD speed as measured by bandwidth.

The latency numbers have barely moved in a decade. And swap in operations are 100% a latency test, best reflected by qd=1 random 4k read (well 16k on a mac, but the point remains since the IOP numbers will be roughtly the same with a 4x larger bandwidth at 16k). It's rare to see an SSD that can even do 100MB/sec qd1 random read, and the numbers largely seem to be going backward as the number of bits being packed into each cell increases (ex MLC->QLC) on many products.

Bandwidth has always been easy, I had spinning RAID arrays that were faster than your average SSD 15 years ago if the only measure is bandwidth. This is why the xpoint disks were a big deal. 2-3x faster QD1 iops numbers.

> `str` are sequence of unicode codepoints [...] without reference to any encoding

I guess I see it from the programmer's perspective: to handle bytes coming from the disk/network as a string, I need to specify an encoding, so they are (to me) byte sequences with an encoding assigned. Didn't realize strings don't have an encoding in Python's internal string handling but are, instead, something like an array of integers pointing to unicode code points. Not sure if this viewpoint means I am getting it backwards but I can see how that was phrased poorly on my part!
Do we know if these houses are built to any standards?
Do you know if there an open source self-hosted implementation available?
Not quite — that’s for polarized light. For general light that may be unpolarized, you need four parameters. You can use the Stokes parameters, or, if you’re feeling very quantum, you can describe the full polarization state of a photon by a 2x2 density matrix. (I have never personally calculated this, but I’m pretty sure you can straightforwardly translate one formulation to the other — the density matrix captures the polarization distribution of a photon sampled, by whatever means, from any source of incoming light.)
When a letter gets flubbed, it's nearly always possible to correct it from context alone. When a word is missing, it's sometimes possible to retrieve the original meaning but other times the missing word creates an ambiguity and you have to just pick a meaning. Faced with the ambiguity, your brain jumped in one direction, mine in another. You landed on the correct answer, I didn't, but there's no need to imply that my reconstruction was done in bad faith.
Why China Is Holding Its Fire as U.S. Moves to Ban TikTok
I became "pro-net neutrality" back in the 2010's when Verizon was trying to charge an extra $20/mo for hot spot functionality on my provider locked android phone.

After some rooting and side loading I was gleefully working around that until FCC came down on them for it [1]. Net Neutrality was passed after that and only seemed like a logical response as a means of consumer protection.

It has always been a user facing issue, it's just not one that many people seem to want to expend the energy to think about how it impacts them. Netflix isn't using that bandwidth, the users are. Without users, Netflix would use low/no bandwidth, just as it did when it was renting DVDs. The users are paying for their own access and speeds to be able to watch netflix over the internet instead. And in turn Netflix is paying their ISP to be able to provide that data. Punishing either the users or the web hosts for finding a more effective use case for the internet than just sending static pages is the ISPs either trying to find a way to blame someone else for having over provisioned their network. Or they are trying to strong arm web hosts into paying more because they have regional monopolies and can get away with it. As a consumer if I had a choice between two ISPs and one of them throttling Netflix to try and extort them for more money, even for self centered reasons I would pick the other just to have better service. But there are a lot of areas where that isn't the case and there is a single major broadband provider who has free reign.

I curious how good the infrastructure -- the plumbing/electrical/network/appliance hookups -- are in this sort of thing, and how repairable the fixtures are. If I have to sledgehammer a wall out to replace a bad outlet, I think that would get pretty old pretty quick. Having built some boats, and having lived in an old abandoned boat through college (somehow getting the thing shipshape on undergrad money, although I took shortcuts that would curl my hair now) I can testify that the hull is the cheapest part of the boat. All the other stuff is the hard part. Houses are sort of like that, but a lot less critical than a boat hull at sea. The walls and roof are just chunks of stuff.

In my experience, that’s a notebook or piece of scrap paper next to the PC with all their usernames and passwords scribbled on it.

That being said, all of the friends and extended family members that I have helped with computer issues have chosen to save several passwords in their browser’s autofill. Yet, none of them knew that they could view and edit these passwords.

Even oral vaccines containing live viruses see the virus being destroyed in minutes by stomach acid.

Rapid inactivation of rotaviruses by exposure to acid buffer or acidic gastric juice: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2999315/

The annihilation of the virus and the absorption of all of the wreckage is what gives humans immunity without actually becoming infected.

Generally speaking, the only viruses that make it past the stomach do so in people who already have an illness or are taking medications that raise stomach pH.

Many "stomach viruses" that are transmitted orally actually infect the body at the pharynx and then make their way down to the intestines where they go wild.

The SMTP that we're talking about uses port 25, not port 587 (or 465). But yes, an ISP could block the STARTTLS negotiation.

Port 587 is submission - an end-user's client talking to their email provider's SMTP server.

Port 25 is smtp - your email provider's SMTP server talking to the recipient's email provider's SMTP server.

Port 443 is https - not TLS. TLS can operate over any port you like. The port is determined by the service being used, not by the fact that it's TLS.
You can measure that beyond any biases, however.

This, on the hand, is up to the guy in charge. Anyone can be affected by this if they happen to be on the bad side of the people in charge.

Show HN: The #1 Airbnb Dispute Resolution AI Tool
Hi I’m Alex, a Superhost and fellow adventurer. In August 2017, I launched my first Airbnb unit, brimming with excitement and ambition. Bookings poured in, and life seemed like a whirlwind of success… until reality hit hard.

One fateful stay shattered the illusion. A nightmare guest wreaked havoc, leaving behind a trail of destruction totalling over $5000 in damages. To make matters worse, the guest retaliated with a scathing review, and I found myself staring at an account ban, my hosting aspirations hanging by a thread.

Faced with mounting losses and a tarnished reputation, I refused to accept defeat. Armed with determination and a thirst for justice, I took my battle to the Airbnb Resolution Centre. Despite presenting overwhelming evidence and the guest’s admission of liability, the verdict remained unchanged:

“After careful review… no reimbursement.”

It was a devastating blow. But from the ashes of despair, I rose with newfound resolve. I delved deep into the intricacies of winning guest damage disputes, leaving no stone unturned in my pursuit of redemption.

Fast forward to today, and my record speaks for itself – victory in every dispute waged, from guest damages to retaliatory reviews and account bans. But my triumph isn’t just a personal victory; it’s a beacon of hope for hosts everywhere. Too many endure the burden of guest damages alone or do not dispute correctly.

And so, HostDispute was born – a testament to resilience, a lifeline for hosts in distress. With our expert guidance and data-driven strategies, you’ll never face the nightmare alone. Together, we’ll reclaim your hosting dreams and rewrite the narrative, one dispute at a time.

Android, iOS, and windows also have this functionality. It's a shame there hasn't been a widely implemented standard for captive portal things yet. Even if what we have now works alright if you're doing web things.
The `peer`-modifier has a very significant and unfortunate limitation which prevents it from being useful for things like styling `<label>` elements that precede input controls, which is that it can only target a previous sibling above it and not the next sibling below, which is often the case in forms and other components. This is a limitation with CSS and not Tailwind fwiw.

No, I'm not. Not to mention if the numbers say that "X GB memory is fine" regarding the metrics they'd benchmark for, but one's actual experience is shit, it's shit - not fine. And vice versa.

It's irrelevant whether some render or a benchmark ends in M minutes instead of N minutes. We're talking about how it feels in actual everyday use with the base-model memory versus something bigger.
I don't trust passkeys, and yet so far, I'm not bothered by them. This is because I use them as an additional way to log in.

But this would be a lot worse if it were your only way of logging in. Always have multiple authentication methods for important accounts.

There's nothing Anglo-Saxon about it. Similar things are appearing all over the western world. And they are absolutely being brought up forwardly.

For example, German ministers can't stop talking about banning one of their most popular political parties outright and they have the powers to do so. They also have announced plans to introduce laws that criminalize "mocking the state", including the weaponization of every aspect of the government against citizens that disagree with them, for example by revoking their local business licenses, implementing exit visa (banning people from leaving) and "depriving them of their income". This also in cases where people haven't actually done anything but are merely influential [1]:

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD): "We are coming up against legal limits. At present, financial investigations are limited to incitement to hatred and violence. That is not enough. I therefore want to amend the law to ensure that the potential threat is taken into account. This involves other factors such as potential for action and social influence."

Germany is hardly alone. Ireland is also introducing a draconian hate speech law. [2] The EU is investigating one of its own MEPs for hate speech after he said he thought EU policy on asylum seekers was intended to attract more migration [3] (i.e. they disagree that it's OK for politicians to express opinions on government policy). In Finland the former minister of the interior was prosecuted for her tweets [4]. She was acquitted and then the government appealed to try and get her again.

The reason you think it's specific to the Anglo-Saxon world is just that those stories affect a lot of English speaking people and this is an English speaking website. Also, negative stories about the EU often get flagged here, and of course in many parts of the world like China such laws already exist for a long time.

How do you back up the private key? With ssh I know to back up .ssh with the rest of my home folder. With a passkey I'd have no idea where it was, and get the feeling the "modern" software won't tell me on purpose, so that it can manage/sync it for me. Which leads to a lack of a mental model.

This is more a regulation issue, of course. But it's not the kind of regulation which one can call stupid, and repeal. There are objective conflict between people who already stored their savings in houses (directly, or indirectly) with many of those who want to get a house. Combined with the fact that those who already live within few desirable economic centers often want others to stay away.

Hmm. Yeah, we'll need to hammer out a solid definition. Further complicating things are models that may not be publicly available and are internally used by companies, though those may not be trained from scratch.

I would be fine with your suggestion to frame it in terms of percent power generation, though it might be hard to disentangle training costs from usage costs from that number. I would argue that including usage energy cleanliness is in the "spirit" of the bet but I'm happy to try to disentangle it as I originally proposed training-only.

> Something else to consider is the algorithmic improvements between now and 2030. From Yann LeCunn: Training LLaMA 13B emits 24 times less greenhouse gases than training GPT-3 175B yet performs better on benchmarks.

Honestly and clearly displaying the price of products and services is not difficult. When that's deliberately not done, it means some fuckery is afoot.

For "enterprise" and large scale corporate sales, it usually means large contracts are negotiable on a case by case basis, but even then, the pricing will still fall within a range that's not difficult to explain at all. The only functional reason to withold information is to force potential customers into contact with salespeople and use everything they can to close (regardless of whether a customer is a penny pincher or not).
