Yes, IMO the most important thing that makes a place family friendly is lots of accessible kids nearby.

The suburbs used to be that. Mine was built in the 70's and used to have a family with kids in pretty much every house, now it's mostly empty nesters. And in the 70's the streets used to be safe because even though it had no sidewalks there were always kids walking them. Now the cars go 40 and don't expect to see kids. Urban sidewalks are safer than suburban streets.

Denser neighborhoods means more people close by, which should mean more kids.

The problem is perception. People think you need a backyard. But a nearby park full of kids kids can walk to own their own is far more important than a backyard, in my opinion. Even if my opinion is correct, it doesn't matter because people act on what they believe. And if most believe you need a backyard...
With 30+ years of personal experience, my qualified statement to the next reader is that the above is 100% accurate.
Some people choose to live in dense cities. And that's great. Other people would like a bit more space. And that's great also. Still others want a rural life. This world is big enough to accommodate all of it. I for one feel people would benefit from having a bit less noise and a bit more space in their lives (both mentally and physically). If you want to live in a dense place, go live in the downtown of any major city. I fail to understand the urge to increase density outside city centers that have the infrastructure to support it.
I did an experiment with Kotlin Multiplatform.

1) Tooling for compiling/building was great

2) Most libraries I needed assumed Android Kotlin, and realized the multi-platform ecosystem is much much much smaller than the Kotlin ecosystem. Almost none of the big projects had support/CI/tests on multiplatform (even though most could). Lots of little dependancy bugs to chase down. This part was a deal breaker. Maybe it's gotten better, but this was only a year ago.

Went with go mobile instead. Amazing ecosystem (and everything just works), mediocre tooling (I've had to patch the project).
This is a nice example of using ESP32 and Arduino.

Thanks for sharing the details of your project!
This is why I mentioned the word debatable. Brazil has high-quality standards for cattle; I specifically live in an agribusiness state in Brazil (very far away from the Amazon, although still having ecological problems). The absolute majority of cattle here are raised in free-range being grass-fed, without any hormones, and this is exactly the problem, free-ranging demands a lot of land, and ultimately this land is being made by cutting down old-growth forests.

Let's not make assumptions about quality when we don't have enough information from each country to make an educated guess. I will point out that Brazil is the largest exporter of agricultural products in the West, and we comply with very demanding markets, including the US. The problem being cited is not about quality—we are compliant with the FDA—but the ethics of ranging cattle in previously Amazon forests

Really? I didn't know people who think like this truly exist. Man this guy is deep in propaganda. Especially the statement at the end. Biden is anything but what's described there ...

I mean is this "you're my enemy unless we agree 1000%" attitude common at universities these days?
I was expecting this sort of comment, but everyone lives in their own world with their own culture and perspective, especially given the large immigrant populations in the West. Yet, the vast majority of people get by not being offended over phrasings that they could take as offensive to their cultural sensibilities if they really wanted to.

I remember being taught a similar thing as a child, about referring to people with disabilities as 'differently abled' instead of 'disabled', and similarly in my home country the government has made an effort to change the word for disability from one which means "improperly able" to "blessed" (poorly translating). But the former has not stuck, and the latter has not changed how poorly disabled people are treated there. Ultimately the changes turned out to be little more than feel-good virtue signaling.

In the same way, what does not using the word 'cure' accomplish in practice? Some word needs to be used in its place, which will take on the same meaning and in a few years people will be getting offended over that too (as any way of putting it will convey the reality that deafness is considered abnormal to the typical human experience). See the progression of terms that are seen as insults to one's mental faculties as a prominent example, even just within the last 20 years of online discourse that I've been around for, we've cycled through variations of retard (tard, reet etc) and are now in the process of doing the same thing with autistic (with the emergence of euphemisms like 'artistic') since the former is now deemed a slur.

Or, using a less provocative example, we don't change our language to be accommodating of religious communities who consider certain things to be insulting to their strongly held values or beliefs. We rightly point out that facts are more important than their feelings, regardless of how many hundreds or thousands of years old their culture and beliefs are.

Edit: If coughs are insensitive, we can instead look at tumors. There are many types in all parts of the body, some are so benign that they can be ignored, others are curable, others are cancerous and still curable, and yet others are so cancerous they are quickly terminal. Additionally, people afflicted with them tend to form a community due to shared experience. But would we stop talking about tumors colloquially as something which needs to be 'cured' because a portion of those in the community don't want to (or can't) get theirs cured?

You must listen to Andrew Huberman and Dr. Jack Kruse on Rick Rubin's Tetragammon or whatever his podcast is called. Huberman quite literally knows next to nothing compared to a real Doctor. He embarrasses himself over the course of four hours. If I were Stanford, I would pull his tenure.
Sure, I get the mechanics. My question is, if we can incorporate knowledge about chaperones into the models as explicit or latent variables, so to speak, then why can’t the models predict something like “probability of molecule a given the presence of chaperone b”?
You will no doubt be relieved to know that Israel is not the #1 killer of Muslims by any measure, neither now nor in the past.

The IDF is unequivocally the agent behind of the largest number of non-combatant Muslim deaths in a single country since Oct 7 (and most likely including all of 2023). More than Darfur, Myanmar, Yemen and Syria presently. The same outfit which holds itself up as "the most moral army in the world".

The courts claim lots of things are constitutional when any reasonable person can see that the claim is nonsense. To give just a few examples from Supreme Court cases:

Seizing property to turn it over to a private developer instead of for public use is a valid use of the government's eminent domain power (Kelo v. New London).

Congress regulating farmers growing wheat on their own property for their own and their animals' consumption on the grounds is a valid regulation of interstate commerce under the Commerce Clause (Wickard v. Filburn).

Allowing Congress to delegate legislative power to the executive branch, in clear violation of Article I of the Constitution, as long as Congress gives an "intelligible principle" (Hampton Co. v. United States).

Ruling that exercising your Fifth Amendment right not to be a witness against yourself can be taken as evidence of guilt (Salinas v. Texas).
I found it funny that he was scared of upsetting advertisers and tanking the stock for employees. Meanwhile, Elon Musk came in, fired 70% of the staff, said the F word to advertisers on live TV, and managed to keep the whole thing running, even accelerating product launches.

Even though I like and agree with Jack's general sentiment, I think he was weak.

Anyway, I like the idea of open competing platforms where no government can censor any speech. Censorship regimes will fight any such platform to hades and back though, so it's debatable whether it'll end up being useful
This article is just an exercise in back of the envelope math. There’s no coherent point to it. “If we just assume that Pablo Alto was as desirable as Manhattan and could justify building the same infrastructure…”

That's not how the clandestine agencies like Congress to write laws though. They love to live in the spaces and gray areas created by vaguely written laws.

All of that should not take years. When money is around it should be capable of being eaten alive. When Trump is president, maybe we can make America FAST again.
So many things are wrong in this blog post.

- Palo Alto isn't in San Francisco ("Palo Alto in San Francisco")

- The value of Manhattan is because there's a large pool of people who can commute there using mass transit, while Palo Alto isn't even connected to Bart. If you ignore that, then even a random plot of land in Wisconsin could be worth one trillion

- Large scale development requires a critical mass of employable people and employers; it's unclear whether building a ton of skyscrapers and apartments would induce enough demand on both sides to make things work. This is the same problem that the new city in Solano county has.

- Since development would happen over time, there's a lot of value for a plot holder to maximize their gains by holding on as long as possible since their land value would go up as the surrounding area increases in value; if every plot owner does that, no development happens, and no increase in value is to be had by anyone. This is why the land in Solano county had to be acquired before announcing their plans to build a new city there.
NYC became NYC in a different time and it was always the gateway to the new world

You can create a new city in the middle of nowhere but you'll be missing any authenticity or history. You won't find a bar "since 1889". Some care more about that than others.

Of course that's less of a factor in the US anyway as everything is much more recent.

Planned cities can work but I still tend to find them quite weird. Luke Canberra in Australia. Or Lelystad and Almere in the Netherlands (their whole province is reclaimed land).
Clearly, since this is OpenAI’s model spec, it is desired by them. If other AI groups publish their own desired behavior, you can make an informed decision as to which model you want to use.
What a lack of manner. I hope students sue the hell out of them. But the US society has decided it’s fine for businesses to behave that way apparently. Let’s see for how longer.
Ok, thanks for the link. Based on that information it seems generic tresspass and the agricultural interference laws carry similar penalties depending on the circumstances. Both are either class A or class B misdemeanors.
Yep, or C doesn't need arrays just use pointers! And C doesn't need strings, just use a pointer to the first byte and assume it's ASCII!
And many people outside Palo Alto want to live there without substantially changing it.

If Palo Alto becomes Manhattan, is it still Palo Alto?

At some point you're facing a contradiction, where a million people want to live in a town of 80,000 without substantially changing the feel of the town.
By this metric I think it's arguable that Musk himself does not deserve to work at Tesla.

If a medical device is not easy to use, you risk the patient not using it as a part of their therapy, or maybe even using it wrong to disastrous effects.

The alternative to a smartphone connecting with one of these devices is likely a proprietary interface that's worse in every measurable way, and could be just as compromised, if not more.
I've always been rather upset that it's fairly common to train on things like LAION or COCO and then "zero shot" test on ImageNet. Zero shot doesn't mean a held out set, it means disjoint classes. You can't train on all the animals in the zoo with sentences and then be surprised your model knows zebras. You need to train on horses and test on zebras.
that is very fucking cool. Well done!
Any resources to learn about this stuff? Always been into synths so I'm interested in this
737s are work horses, and generally fly a lot. One built in 1994 probably has a lot of hours on it, and I would bet it was sold from some western carrier used to Africa in the first place after it had too many hours to be workable in the developed world.

Usually these old planes are put into use as cargo planes instead where the consequences of a crash are less severe.
Also keep in mind that metal is stronger than plastic. Sure it might rust if you don't use a preventitive coating....a coating is not a paint BTW theirs a massive difference.

Plastic is cheaper. Sure those injection molds are expensive as fuck to make and have a limited life just like anything but the major reason plastic is seen as desirable is that its cheap, and its way easier to produce 10000 plastic spoons than to cast 10000 spoons. Casting isn't fast and takes up a lot of space and its harder to heat up metal than plastic. And even if your machining a part, plastic is just cheaper when it comes to the footprint and the density of plastic is lower than metal which means handling raw materials is easier.

The downside is recycling and lifespan. A good metal part beats plastic when it comes to so many tests....but its not fast or cheap to make.
Is the metal recyclable....yes....but plastic dosnt have to get up to insane temps to get it molten, and you can machine plastic with basically anything as long as its sharp, while metal machining is a process that needs really strong sharp inserts, saws, or EDM machines, and all of that means a heavier footprint both in weight,and carbon footprint.
> reincorporate the Bay Area into a similarly singular entity.

I really wish this would happen, the city boundaries are so small and arbitary
Palo Alto has slowly gone from being a college town to almost a retirement community. Some years ago the city government asked residents when and if they intended to move. 80% said they'd stay for the rest of their life. Turnover isn't quite that low, but it's low.

It's also 36% Asian now.

Menlo Park is a little more willing to build. East Palo Alto is very willing to build. The Whiskey Gulch problem ("Murder City USA") was solved by leveling the area and putting in a Four Seasons hotel and an office building full of lawyers. I used to live in Menlo Park near there, and heard automatic weapons fire most weekends. Which is why I don't own a house a mile from what's now Facebook HQ.

Your comment is duped
My idea is even more "dumber" - 12+ miles off the shore of SF. Drive a lot of pillars and pour a lot of concrete and build some similar monstrosity to that "Wall City" Saudis are planning in the desert (or that Star Trek Millennium Tower). Don't need even city charter from the state, no voter approval, etc. Fast hydroplaning taxis to SF, etc. Probably some no-work-visa loopholes.
I can't imagine that they're highly desired for any reason other than the earnings potential. Not only in those jobs specifically, but also in the future opportunities that they unlock.
That depends on which definition of ultra-processed you use. It's a product highly engineered for palatability.

It's also surprisingly modern -- traditional flours are far more coarsely ground.

Dangers of Car-Dependent Suburbs: How Urban Planning Affects Parenting

In this segment, the speaker highlights the stark contrast between the freedom and independence of Dutch children versus the restrictive upbringing in car-dependent suburbs of North America. By comparing their own childhood in London, Ontario, to their current experiences in Amsterdam, the speaker argues that the Dutch city's design and culture enable children to develop autonomy and independence, whereas North American suburbs lack the necessary infrastructure and social norms to allow children to thrive without excessive parental supervision

> From my perspective a discriminant vs a vtable pointer is a boring implementation detail the compiler should just figure out for me based on what would be more optimal in a given situation.

Disagree. It's a design choice that should be decided by the programmers. There's a tradeoff—choosing which should be easier: adding a new variant or adding a new function/method. It's called the Expression Problem: https://wiki.c2.com/?ExpressionProblem
In court the ATF is learning that they cannot arbitrarily change their interpretations and may have less authority than when they started due to how arbitrary they’ve decided to be recently.

That doesn’t help the poor folks who followed the old rules and are now ensured in the executive branch illegally pulling the rug out from under them, but it seems like the ATF is routinely losing when brought to trial.

While the current admin seems to love changing the meaning of words to suit their whims, I think, in general, the courts have pretty consistently sided with the intended meaning at the time of legislation (text and tradition) rather than the politically motivated meaning that’s been conjured up in the last 36-months (novel legal theory garbage).

And people who do prefer to live with cochlear implants face pressure from the deaf community itself. You can't win. This was an achievement. A girl who probably saw this as a cure, saw success. Why can't we just be happy for her instead of detracting because others wouldn't make the same choice?
Deducting taxes is not an opaque issue though. It is known to everyone at time of employment with the filling out of the W-2. When the TLAs come knocking on a business' door to provide information, the employee(s) in question are not asked to fill out another form.

Equating the two is just a sad attempt at white washing
From the article:

> This customer actually returned the car with a 96% charge, the same as they’d picked it up at.
Arguing 98% and 96% are materially different for the purposes of rental car fuel levels is extremely pedantic, as should be clear by how feasible it is to achieve a match to that resolution. And why stop at whole percentage points?

Not only that, that unrealistically strict standard is 10x stricter than gas cars.

on gas gauges the resolution is like 10%ish chunks that aren’t even equal width. My cars top bar lasts about 50% longer than the rest and no I don’t top up.
I once asked a friend of a friend (who did graphics for the local birdseed press) to produce a map of homicides committed by children (up to the age of 5?), broken down by local political division.

She presented me the expected map full of blanks (along with a comment that luckily 0 is the same even without correcting for population, which would've been the proper way) and asked why I'd want such a silly thing.

Then I showed her the same map of the US by state, complete with non-0 data.
I love Temporal-- we use it at my company. It's very very good for our use case, but took a while to understand how to use it. We're still figuring things out (Workflow versioning is one thing we suck at still).

That said, I'm not sure why this post from 2023 was posted here today. There've been multiple updates to the Python SDK since this post.
It seems that this is a taboo topic to discuss oftentimes (especially academically), despite the fact that most people I meet seem to have an intuitive understanding that kids are often like parents.

It also provides compelling alternate explanations for things like 'children of abusive parents are more likely to abuse' that you also are not really allowed to discuss nowadays.
Based on that link, tresspass in non animal facilities carry similar penalties (both either class A or class B misdemeanors depending on specifics).
Job postings are also a great way to see what companies are focusing on right now, what their needs and priorities are. It’s useful from a sales intelligence and marketing point of view because you can tailor your messaging based on that
