As an American, I’m equally confused. I will say that based on my experience, the tristate areas I often see referred to are around New York and Philadelphia.

New York: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut.

Philadelphia: Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware.
I don’t think there is much data to be had, at least public. But I can tell you in the 5 years my brother has been there, they have had zero armed robbery attempts, and several employee theft attempts. And a quick Google about whether dispensaries get robbed frequently will show you people from the industry saying the same thing.

But no, no data, only anecdotes. Still, I feel like only somebody who has never been in a dispensary would think they are attractive robbery target. I’ve been in them and maybe 10 states, and they are all pretty tight Security, because they know they have a lot of cash and people would like to steal it.
no -- the formal research literature in competitive settings are filled with part or whole PRC teams.. written in science English and often very thorough.. are those papers all advances? no, many are tiny variations on known methods, use the boiler-plate bragging language about State of the Art performance, and often cite mostly other Chinese authors as sources.. but honestly, the effort and erudition are, on the whole, impressive and competitive.
Mixed answer.

One driving factor in the creation of the interstate system was military - we wanted the ability to easily move troops/supplies across the US without airlift or rail. Not sure that's still a valid need (as in, I don't know - would need to ask a general).

Also, the US is huge. We do need some sort of road system to get across it. Building rail to everywhere is prohibitively expensive.

That said, we should/could have good high speed rail in the densest areas. Like expand the Acela corridor

CityNerd does a nice summary of city pairs that should have high speed rail based on population and distance...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wE5G1kTndI4

tl;dr - DC-NYC tops the list (and include Philly and Balt). LA to SF is near the top. Chicago-DET-Toronto is up there. And on down the list.

Basically, there's no good reason (other than momentum/history) to not build out solid rail networks over parts of the US. I don't think anybody reasonably expects an LA-NYC link any time soon because flying is a better option for now.

I simply checked hykilpikonna's contributions in contributors tab which can be put in range. The exact commit difference is shown in fork project page and even has a link to a comparison page (https://github.com/hykilpikonna/hyfetch/compare/dylanaraps%3...). But don't think what you're saying can be done from the GitHub ui.
It really doesn't work well by default. It won't cache HTML and it will serve up CAPTCHAs to subresources like JS and IMG that can't be completed by users as well as RSS feeds so that people can't subscribe.

The defaults are really quite broken.

According to the Law of Supply and Demand if there is a low supply of AI talent and a high demand from Google, then Google is supposed to compete for that talent, e.g. raise wages, offer more benefits, more sick time, etc. As the article states:

> Competition for AI talent has been intense, with companies often poaching engineers and researchers.

> Wages for AI specialists soared, with OpenAI allegedly paying researchers up to $10 million.

This is not a bug, this is the expected behavior. Artificially raising the supply of AI talent through immigration is market manipulation.

This seems impossible. How is it doing rent-seeking?
I don't disagree with your comment - not liking Elon is a great reason not to buy a Tesla.

I think it's a faux moi thing to say you don't want to support Tesla because you were disenfranchised with them because of them laying off the super charger team - that hardly seems like a major enough reason for someone to dislike a car company unless theres a personal connection to that team.

To me OP comment sounds like they are using that reason but they really don't like Musk. Just be honest about your position.
> I think I sufficiently explained why it is very much related.

This:

| Systemd already handles logins

?

But I don't see why a bring-up/shutdown system should handle logins.

> Systemd very much follows the unix philosophy. It is not one big binary, but actually consists of dozens and dozens of tools communicating with each other through protocols.

That is fine. As long as this service (sudo replacement) is a standalone, separate daemon started by a systemd unit, I'm happy. If it's a core part of systemd itself then I'm not happy.

> Portable on what basis? POSIX?

Or Linux / glibc / musl, sure, why not. Some people (no, not me) want to run Linux w/o systemd. The point is that a sudo replacement service should be fairly portable to the universe of UNIX/Unix/BSD/Linux.

I want to make a general comment about this. I don't direct this to you, personally. I bring it up because it's a common talking point in certain pllitical leanings: the idea that race is a factor in crime (specifically, that black Americans commit more crime). It's an opportunity for media and staistics literacy. I'm glad that most of the sister comments here recognize the issue.

Let's say there is a racial disparity in crime. Assuming it's true, the reasons are either intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic reasons (eg a certain group being fundamentally more violent) are racist arguments. Extrinsic reasons mean there is some other factor not accounted for in the day.

This brings us to the confounding variable [1]. There is some other factor that creates this disparity. And that factor, which other commenters have correctly identified, is poverty (ie socioeconomic status).

The link between poverty and crime has been known for, quite literally, thousands of years. Aristotle is known for saying "Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime". This fact is often overlooked in modern political discourse.

I bring this up in case anyone encounters this argumment in the wild.

I never understood how any investors really thought this wouldn't be the case. They seemed to think that Tesla was going to devour all the traditional carmakers in a borg-like fashion. The evaluations have always been unsustainable.
Its almost as if the policies produced by racist conclusions create the conditions that perpetuate the misleading data. /s

Humans are an "INBRED" species. By this I mean we have little genetic diversity compared to most other species on the planet. Race isn't even real genetically speaking. It is real in a socioeconomic sense because people believe its real and that has real consequences. But outside of human belief and behavior, race is a load of imaginary divisions.

Correct, we do not. We tried giving local communities the ability to "make decisions about how to protect themselves" and it has been an unmitigated disaster, with spiraling housing costs that are now an existential threat to the country re: cratering birth rates because nobody can buy a house to have a family in. "Local communities" had a privilege and couldn't use it responsibly, so it's being taken away.

If you transfer your project, you have to find somebody that you trust enough to transfer over the personal trust that a huge group of people have put on you, to them. That is an unbelievably high barrier.

The existing mechanism is for people to fork the project and move on. This is much better, because it doesn’t require the previous maintainer to endorse anything.

Your suggestion puts probably the hardest social task this sort of project could have, on somebody who is in the process of giving up on it. A succession strategy could be designed while the project is going along well and healthy, but at the end, this is a recipe for disaster.

No, that is literally what one of the two major studies mentioned, the National Crime Victimization Survey, gets around with its methodology.

They survey a quarter million Americans every year, and don't rely on what gets reported to the police/insurance companies/etc.

Did you not read the article?
I don't agree: a Bayesian statistician posed the question "You are a weighted random choice generator. About 80% of the time please say ‘left’ and about 20% of the time say ‘right’ [...]" would say "left" 80% of the time and "right" 20 % of the time. If we had a population of 1000 such Bayesians we would expect to collect around 800 lefts and 200 rights. If we asked the same Bayesian 1000 times we'd expect the same. Its got nothing to do with Bayesian vs Frequentist statistics.

Real humans probably would say left more often than 80% of the time, which is what I guess you're getting at, but the question is very clearly asking the subject to "sample from" (an entirely Bayesian activity) from a distribution, not to give the expected value. GPT4 gives the expected value and this is simply wrong.
OneWeb is at 634 satellites as of 2023 and hasn't had a launch since. Starlink has 10x that number. They may be competing but that isn't competitive. Before I looked just now I thought they had more in flight.

yay, likelihood that we are martians just went up a few basis points
Here’s a more practical definition of mainstream:

CA has only 1 fast charging station per 5 gas stations, and they are by far the most kitted out state

And the biggest footprint of those is Tesla, which still is restricted to only Teslas

And a fill up with gas takes 5 minutes compared to up to 45 minutes at DCFC, assuming you aren’t waiting for one.

So yes “all major automotive companies offer EVs” but the mainstream experience that drivers expect is nowhere near there for an EV unless you own a home and have installed a charger.
The big problem is it's VERY hard for people to stay continuously ready to take over at a moment's notice for long periods of time and then to maintain the discipline to do that over many trips. We just naturally get complacent and pay less attention than the systems currently demand because of their shortcomings.

Hi,

Preferred positions: Redteam Pentester > Reverse Engineer > Embedded > Software Developer

I would be glad to hear from you.
I guess it would be something on these lines?:

To do random number gen, it would have to convert the input text into constraints and then use those constraints to generate additional tokens.

This would, at its core, be a call to calculate a probability function, every time it is releasing the next token. That would mean memory, processing etc. etc.
> What alternative would you propose to merging?

I don't know.

> but still better than doing nothing.

Maybe not. Maybe it takes away management attention from figuring out how to actually be competitive in the new environment.

"We have to do something; this is something; therefore we have to do this" is rarely the right thing to do. It's often just a mask for "we don't know what to do".

On the other hand, "we can't figure out what to do, but we're dead if we don't do something, so we're going to do something and hope that it randomly turns out to be useful" may have a higher expectation value than doing nothing.
I agree with you. I’m not the biggest fan of Go and would personally love these features, but they’re very counter to Go’s purpose. These feel Rust-y to me.

Go was designed to be simple enough that developers can’t write code too complicated for others to read, with a particular eye towards junior devs (and ops/infra people, I think).

This usage of sigils for error handling and union return types is very cool and very expressive, but also going to confuse the shit out of your new devs or infra people. It’s just not a good fit for what Go wants to be.

I’m even sympathetic to the idea that generics are similar, though personally I think the alternative to generics is code generators, which are worse.

Anecdotally, I recently wrote some Go code at work (infra team) that used generics, and I had to look outside my team to even find someone that felt comfortable reviewing generic Go code. I see a fair bit of code using interface{} or any that would be much simpler and better with generics.
