I solved this problem by finding a place with no fire/building code inspections and built a shack for 40k.

People build whatever here and all the stuff paranoid people claim would happen, didn't. Code inspections eliminated 20 years ago.

I imagine the code scam and it's costs result in untold deaths and exposure, or money lost that could have been spent on healthcare, education, or healthy foods .
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

Rings true for me. In my younger days I was "privileged" to catch an early morning flight to San Jose with a stack of tapes that I then drove to Palo Alto. All because a RAID array had gone kaput and tapes in a carry-on provided better bandwidth than the upstream from the office where our backups were.
Anyone know if the mac code is available somewhere?
Respectfully, no, earplugs do not work when they are jackhammering a mountain outside of your window. I shouldn't have to dull my senses just to live in society because some people have no consideration of making others uncomfortable in their own homes.
"Static" means no app code on server.

I'm guessing that it's because u128 / i128 are used less frequently than primitives with smaller bit counts. Could be something else though
Well yeah but obviously, don't try to live in a HCOL area if you're not going to economically win out. Local electrician apprenticeship programs here advertise ~55k wages at the end of a residential apprenticeship and ~86k for commercial (assuming 40 hrs/week; I don't know whether that's a reasonable assumption). You need a high school diploma or GED, and need to pass an aptitude test to qualify for the commercial apprentice program.

That graph is awful. What is it showing aside from "bigger arrow more bad"? Does color mean anything? What variable does arrow size actually represent?
Well hopefully these models begin to plateau due to running out of data to train on, hitting they max size, or because Microsoft stops subsidizing them and OpenAI can't afford to train them anymore.

But yeah if they keep going the www will probably become useless for people. Especially if someone doesn't figure out a way to deal with the bots. Idk how you'd make a human only web though.

Then again maybe a little less time on the web would be good for everyone.
I don’t think there’s one simple and satisfying answer, it’s a complex system.

The only simple broad-stroke answer is that the government is incredibly powerful so violent uprising/revolution by the working class is essentially impossible.

I can speak to the 'mom and pop' landlords. The best you can hope for is that your properties are paid for. If they're leveraged, it's a razor thin margin where are one roof replacement, furnace replacement, or state/local government deciding failure to pay isn't grounds for eviction away from losing money.

Lack of housing growth seems to be a factor. Housing starts in 2023 were still not even close to 2000 numbers. And the dip from the GFC lasted a long time (6 years). Looks like COVID stalled the recovery as well.

Not enough housing means people have to combine houses and pay more.

This problem has been 16 years in the making.
Oh yes this paper! The main issue is the scaling of the A and B LoRA matrices. Some papers show scaling the B matrix with larger learning rates (LoRA+) could be beneficial. DoRA for eg learns an auto scaling vector of numbers which tries to alleviate these issues.

Galore might be more equivalent to full pretraining with the gradients being low rank.
High interest rates also push up demand by keeping more people stuck as renters who would rather buy a home.
Microsoft bought Github for $7.5bil and LinkedIn for $26.2bil. I think any big tech company of an even remotely close caliber would have no reservations about purchasing Vercel, if they cared to.

I mean ffs, Adobe almost acquired Figma (“it’s just a software service for software UI mockups!”) for ~$20bil, and the only reason they abandoned the deal was due to legal challenges from the European Commission and the UK Competition and Markets Authority. With the take of those authorities, in crude and simplified terms, essentially meaning “this deal seems way too good for you and gives you [Adobe] too much of an unfair anti-competitive advantage”. So yeah, it kinda makes sense why Adobe and the rest don’t mind spending billions on those types of acquisitions (assuming they actually go through), given how good it ends up for their business.

So yes, if Adobe was more than willing to buy Figma for $20bil, then I don’t think there would be a lack of big tech companies having any reservations about acquiring Vercel for “multiple of $3bil” (assuming they were interested in the company in the first place).
I think the inevitable conclusion is returns to capital is rising versus the returns to labor. Put your money in investments because that's what we (as a society) reward.

+1, I guess. Computers are capable enough that the representation in which code is viewed/edited need not be the same as it is canonically stored in, so long as one can unambiguously transform back & forth. We could potentially get over the bikeshedding by letting everyone configure their IDEs per their own taste for syntax.

Well, you can drag them to the end if you want them segregated. Usually I prefer them inline, but sometimes I drag them to the end. I don't know what an "attachment box" is.

Outlook used to get confused -- when it first encountered an attachment it simply ignored the rest of the message. I think MS eventually fixed that bug. Is an "attachment box" an outlook thing? Apple mail correctly finds and handles any attachments anywhere in the message.

Is this a county level jurisdiction in the United States?
Yes, this is a lot like path expressions in HQL / JPQL.

There is a key difference, i think - in JPA land, relationships between classes are named at both ends. So an OrderDetail has an "Order order" field, but an Order also has a "Set<OrderDetail> details" field. That means you already have a name to use when going from an order to its details - you can say "sum(order.details.price)". Whereas the language in the article has to make it implicit, with (IMHO weird!) syntax like "OrderDetail.sum(price)".

This starts to hurt more when you have multiple collections of the same type on an entity. Consider:

City
city_id
Person
birth_city_id
residence_city_id

What would

SELECT city_id, Person.COUNT()
FROM City

do here?
>War is real

No doubt. And, I've personally become more hawkish in these times. You'll see me arguing elsewhere that the West needs to be more aggressive in supporting Ukraine. I understand that we can't just lay down arms now. It's more about whether we want this to be the status quo for conflict resolution. It's just not an aspirational worldview.

So, my superficial point was that the full reasoning rests on itself. It's circular and self-serving, so it's not surprising who most often repeats it. And, if that's the footing you accept, then it will always be your footing.

The slightly deeper point was that these little memetic sayings (and the posture they support) become a self-perpetuating construction that exaggerate the effectiveness of raw might, while short-circuiting the legitimacy of other options. We see around the World effective resistance to great power.

So, it's the promotion of a kind of persistent war-footing wherein perceived military strength becomes the only lens through which all conflict is sorted. Hence, it de-emphasizes the complexity of the world and the search for solutions that can persist because they rest on more sustainable solutions beyond subjugation.

TLDR; if we emphasize peace through war above all else then we will continue to have more war than peace.
No, they are saying that the best option for peace is to make yourself so formidable that nobody wants to go to war with you. The point is NOT to go to war. It's just that the argument isn't disarming, it's the opposite, however counter-intuitive that might seem.
Nothing wrong, but why isn't the package listed upon Thunderbird's website, nor created officially when they do so for Linux?
"Non-Euclidean" is probably just fine meaning "literally anything other than straight Euclidean". Euclidean geometry doesn't have portals in it. Being truly hyperbolic or spherical is an interesting case but I don't think we have to insist that's the only viable meaning. Adjoining portals to Euclidean geometry by my reckoning breaks 3 of the 5 core axioms of Euclidean geometry... which means by sheer axiom break count, Euclidean geometry plus portals is "more" non-Euclidean than spherical or hyperbolic geometry. (Which may not seem like a terribly meaningful count, but I think would be reflected in what proofs in a portalized space would end up looking like. You'd grow a forest of case analyses and conditions in even the simplest proofs.)

(And it's possibly 4 axioms broken; I'm reckoning "all right angles are equal" as still holding, though I'm not 100% sure a "normal" right angle and a right angle generated where a portal bisects the angle is necessarily "equal" in all relevant ways. It's been a while since I did geometry proofs but the more I ponder it the less sure I am. If not that would leave only "a straight line segment can be prolonged indefinitely" as holding, and unlike in Euclidean geometry a straight line segment may intersect itself arbitrarily often.)

New tomato plants contain the complete genetic material of both parents
Pretty much all of those.

The "older generation" mismanaged the economy for 40 years, and now their children are paying for it.

This is what happens when you base an economy purely off of what equities trade at in two exchanges.

EDIT:

Downvote me all you want, but it's true. I'm 32. I have no debt, a good paying job, no spouse, no kids. I live in the same county my parents did at my age, in a major-ish American metro in the lower Midwest.

I cannot afford the same standard of living they did at my age.

Why? Because of inflation. Why is inflation high? Because we had to print a bunch of money out of nowhere to keep the economy from collapsing during COVID. Why did we have to keep the economy from collapsing during COVID? Because the average American household is living paycheck-to-paycheck and has no emergency savings. They're living paycheck-to-paycheck because the average wage has not kept up with both the costs of living and the value created by labor for the last four decades. The value created by labor went to earnings-per-share on stocks, bonds, and other investment instruments issued by companies. The average person cannot afford to have the returns on such investments factor into their five-to-ten-year financial goals. More and more, they cannot afford to have returns on such investments factor into their 20-30-year financial goals, either.

This shift did not come from nowhere; it came from human behaviors, modalities, and policies. There were people alive and in a majority to make this happen during that period of time.

I do a combination of both. I have a compost pile that is fed by collecting the clippings from my mulching mower from half of my mow-able area, and then the rest is just mulched and left in place. Essentially, anything to not rake! The only time I rake/bag is from the leaves that collect along the curb. I'm on a cul-de-sac, so I get a lot collecting there. I don't use these for compost from all of the liquids from parked cars, trash, and other gross stuff that I wouldn't want in my garden.
Presale.Ninja, a modern services marketplace, was recently launched
Presale.Ninja is a new, modern, and international services marketplace that offers service providers (cleaners, gardeners, handymen, caretakers, babysitters and more) opportunities to find new jobs and provides clients with the possibility to find new service providers.

Our team has created a very simple and convenient product with powerful tools.We are not similar to other projects because we have created a totally new approach for our customers.
We don't use bookings or orders but only visits, which offer infinite flexibility. We don't hide our service providers and vacancies from platform guests. We don't have any hidden fees, and we don't take money from clients. Clients pay for service provider services directly to the service provider.

We are completely transparent, and our main target is to make clients and service providers happy. This way, service providers can earn easily and quickly, and clients can find a helper at a fair rate.

We have just started and don't have many users yet. Therefore, we plan to invite service providers first and then start inviting new clients. So, if you are a service provider and don't see any vacancies, don't worry. You can register on the platform, and when we have a good selection of service providers, we will start inviting new clients.

We invite you to join the Presale.Ninja project.

Given "Florida markets occupy three of the top five spots where rent growth has most dramatically outpaced wage growth since pre-pandemic," and "Houston saw the greatest annual wage growth of any metro — nearly double the national average — and was one of only four markets where wages outperformed rents," it seems like the cause is migration and insufficient new housing [1].

(Counterfactual: "In three areas — San Francisco, Portland, and Austin — rents actually declined from 2022 as market heat began to moderate, while wage growth in those areas continued to climb.")

Yes, for a jobseeker it's like this
If I had to speculate, I'd say its a combination of rebound from covid rent furloughs, and market capture by capital management firms like trammel crow (who really, really want you to think theyre a property management company now)

Some might say deposit regulation and reform is a driver, but all that really did was set up a scumbag market of fintechs that replaced outrageous renters deposits with slightly less expensive non refundable premiums.

Not that it matters. We are building plenty of apartments you can't afford for other reasons. Paid parking, pet fees, 3 figure application fees, move in fees, and common area fees not to mention Arizona's renter property tax all raise the bar.

Even if you can afford it you'll likely not qualify. Credit, criminal and prior landlord checks all have to come back spotless. You'll need to submit 2 pay stubs after that.

As dismissive as I am of the last presidents constant prodding of a "deep state" conspiracy, is it really any question that such a group exists? And in case rhetorical questions are lost on this site, the answer is no, and its not appropriate to mock.

Practically we know working in companies "leadership" only has a vague capability to steer the sheep, and that control becomes more and more vague every day. It seems to be a direct result of the complexity of the modern world. Systems operate by a zeitgeist made up of their component parts. "Culture eats Strategy for breakfast" etc etc.

The military industrial complex's defining culture is "we do the dirty work no one else is willing to do to keep western democracy safe" whether you agree thats true or not. I think its something to be noted if the powers and capabilities of this group are being expanded into tech corporations, who don't seem to have any defining culture other than make cash and retire.
Interesting, TIL!

.NET's GC has a similarity in allocations being serviced from thread-local allocation context and only ever going into GC when such can't be serviced, when that happens, most workloads using SRV GC, would go into a short stop-the-world pause to collect Gen 0. While STW does sound scary to many, such pauses can be easily sub-millisecond in reality given sufficiently GC-friendly allocation patterns even under full allocation throughput saturation[0].

[0] Made short example that demonstrates that GC just frees up Gen0s as soon as they are full, which is very cheap, even if it has to be done very frequently: https://gist.github.com/neon-sunset/62115b5d9aa5027b22fa00f8...

(GC used here is the latest SRV GC + DATAS mode which is planned to become default later on, practically speaking, it has little impact under saturation and more interesting under moderate to light allocation rates as it solves the historical issue with SRV GC being quite happy to hoard memory pages from the kernel for a long time even if the actual heapsize was very small)

Like I said. Most. Not all.

My mom suffers migraines and fell in tub when we had just moved to America. I called 911 and cop was there within 5 minutes. My mom can’t speak English that well.

I got pulled over once for driving 50 in a 35. I didn’t realize there was a change in the speed limit. I explained this to the cop and that I was just traveling through. He and I chatted about photography (I was going to a state park to take photos) and he told me to have a nice day and be more aware.

Had a lot of encounters with police in SF. Never had a problem. They even helped me when my bike was stolen by giving me a lift.

So idk. I’m an immigrant guy. I’m not hostile and I’m respectful. Also helps that I don’t have warrants and a criminal record.

I’m sure 90% or more of police are good people. Every group has bad people. I work in tech. I know of people who are genius tier and also some who are scammer pos type. The majority are fine people.
Slightly less effort? Have you used a leaf blower before? It’s a 30 minute to 3 minute sort of difference.
What are you referring to? I don't see that in this discussion.
So it's a total non-story once you dig into it, and the article is just an opportunistic play to beat the "guns bad" and "police bad" drum at the same time.

Basically, the guns you can buy new at any store in the US are by and large identical to those that the police use.

When a police department replaces their equipment, they can either destroy their old firearms (and many do) or they can recoup some cost by having a retailer bulk purchase these old guns from them to be graded, inventoried, and resold on the legal secondhand market. Police departments can get a slight discount on their new equipment when they do this, and private civilian gun owners can buy these used firearms for cheaper than a brand new example of the same model. The FBC/NICS background check and purchase paperwork for buying a firearm in the US doesn't change regardless if it's a new or used gun.

I don't see how this practice is particularly relevant in a country where we manufacture and import over 10 million of firearms a year.

If it makes you feel warm and fuzzy, you can mandate that all police firearms go straight to the incinerator once they're done with them. But the amount of guns you'd be pulling off of the market in that case is an utterly insignificant rounding error in terms of the broader availability of firearms. If anything, you're helping Glock and Smith & Wesson's bottom line a little by forcing more civilian buyers to opt for new production vs Police trade-in used.
