First of all, you cite data about Oakland when I was talking about San Francisco. The cities are different enough that it's worth noting. I will also state that I am well-informed about the matter and have few "misconceptions" in the obvious sense.

> Nearly 8 out of every 10 unhoused people in Oakland were living in Alameda County when they lost their housing.

That's not what the Point in Time count asks or tries to measure. The statistic reported is the location of last known shelter. So, as an example, someone who moves to San Leandro from Fresno to crash on a friend's couch for two weeks and then is asked to find a different place to stay would count as "living in Alameda County" for the purposes of the statistic. Another example: a longtime homeless person who has cycled in and out of shelters in the region for decades counts as "living in Alameda County" even if they first lost their home in Kern County or out of state.

> Primary Cause of Homelessness (Top five responses, Fig. 19)

This is silly data to cite. Drug use is correlated with money issues, interpersonal relationship problems, eviction, foreclosure, inability to keep a job, and more. Maybe if the survey had a multiple response design, the distribution would be relevant.

> And anyway, how could it really be any different?

I can think of dozens.
The bad faith reasoning in your original comment is what you wrote. You are welcome to write interesting stuff in your comments, you should.
Is blocking access to local files a new thing? Considering the threat (you download a html file, open it in your browser and it tries accessing random files and exfiltrates them using JS), I would be surprised if this has worked in the past 10 years
I agree that DPoP - especially the nonce - is quite complex, but I don't think it's as bad as you make out.

Proof tokens can only be used for a narrow window of time (seconds to minutes), so you just need a cache of recently seen token identifiers (jtis) to do replay detection. And proof tokens are bound to an endpoint with the htm and htu claims. They can't be used across services, so I don't see a need for that replay cache to be shared across all services.
Wait, you’re missing the important linkage. Urbanization facilitates specialization only because it produces excess productivity. Growth it’s very self produces inequality when the benefits of increased productivity are not evenly distributed. This is not a fault of urbanization, and certainly a poor reason to oppose urbanization.
They definitely should. Plenty of movies are based on other movies or hommages to it, and typecasting exists as long as cinema.

I remain with my point that if they did any processing that made the voice sound more like Scarlett they most definitely should compensate her.
I agree NixOS + docker/podman-compose is a good compromise but one has to be aware NixOS still run podman as root (1) [0]. What is very scary and defeat the purpose of rootless containers.

If your phone has wifi enabled, it will collect AP name+location for apple/google and upload it. The same thing happens for bluetooth + ibeacons/edison beacons, airtags, etc.
While it’s a nice write-up, I’m not sure I’m following some of the sweeping conclusions the author makes regarding security and purpose.

> JWT Tokens

> Cons: Susceptible to token theft (e.g., XSS attacks) if not handled carefully. Must be short-lived or use refresh tokens.

>

> Session Tokens

> Pros: Generally more secure as they rely on server-side storage, mitigating issues like token theft.

>

> Cons: Vulnerable to CSRF attacks if not handled properly.

Isn’t session token theft as much of an issue as JWT token theft? Why is there a difference in security just because in one case it’s a JSON blob that says user_id:4,is_admin:false and in the other it’s an opaque string? Surely session tokens are equally vulnerable to XSS as JWT tokens?

The author then claims that JWT are “potentially faster since no server-side lookup is required. However, JWTs can be large in size”. How large? How does it affect things? Does it affect request latency, or server time decoding the JSON? The comparison with session tokens is then made: “server-side lookup, which can introduce latency, especially with a high number of active sessions”. Where is the latency introduced? Because an RDBMS is slower when there’s many rows in the session table? Because Redis can’t do an efficient GET?

This article is a whole bunch of vague trueisms. The author clearly knows some stuff about it, but isn’t able to articulate it well enough to help the reader make a good decision or walk away better informed than having not read it.

It almost feels cargo culty.

Edit: could we finally get proper quoting support?
I agree, but we should also make restrictions on smart TVs and gaming consoles illegal too.

Both the Xbox and PS5 are 100% commodity hardware, not being able to run our own software on it is a really weird limitation. One that people even on HN have accepted while simultaneously ragging on Apple's "walled garden".
What's scary is people don't understand how something being unaffordable is not much different from it being prohibited. And prohibition always leads to the rise of organized crime. Living in the Bay Area, I can't help but wonder if the homeless encampments are already under organized crime rule.
Right, but like a sibling poster pointed out, they've been using Cyrillic, so the migration is similar, at least.
Why? General anaesthetic is fun! The last time I was under for 6 hours. For a few days afterwards I saw the most incredibly interesting, detailed persistent hallucinations whenever I closed my eyes. They completely vanished when I opened them.
Items are evicted from caches all the time for non-expired reasons. Memcached, in particular has "slabs" (spaces for objects of a certain size) and once those slabs are full, items are evicted to make space for new items.
All the servers can store a copy or a bloom filter because the number of revoked tokens is small and doesn't change often

> NAT is here to stay

Which, uh, it sure sounds like you're not using IPv6 NAT. In fact, it looks like aside from probably being confused about what "split horizon DNS" is [0] your setup is exactly like mine. Address autoconfig for both a annoyingly-frequently-changing global prefix, and a constant ULA prefix with DNS entries for the ULA addresses.

[0] Does your DNS server serve LAN _and_ WAN clients? If it doesn't, and it only serves LAN clients, you're almost certainly confused.
while important, the fiat currency is a second-order issue, imho. the root is self-serving corruption facilitated by an intricate apparatus based on bureaucratic capture. to even appear as a choice on the ballot, one must either be part and parcel of this widespread corruption, or one must take the system by surprise with vast amounts of money and bluster (trump trump something something, fat lot of good that did, though). one of the biggest issues we have is that so much “shadow money” is allowed to influence politics. if the government was originally supposed to be a “check and balance” against accumulation of corporate power against regular people, phenomena like Citizens United et al have guaranteed the undoing of that guardianship. it is a society of grift now, through and through. and of course, being adaptive creatures, we learn from example, and we learn from our enemies, so anyone who once played the “good guy” role is stooping as low as his opponent now. surveying the political landscape, it’s often hard to find anyone spending more time trying to solve problems as opposed to maximizing instagram likes and chances for reelection

NB: there’s that whole discourse about “how are you all multi-millionaires when the pay for senator/representative is at most a few hundred thousand a year?”
>weakest blurs I've ever seen

Isn't this the same type of "swirl" blur that Interpol was able to reverse even 10 years back? With advancements since then you're basically handing evidence on a silver platter.
You seem to assume a free market for housing, that would be at least partially incorrect. The free market is a cause of long term (timeframe of decades) housing unaffordabilty because the haves treat housing as investment while the have-nots live under bridges or in cars which puts them in an unemployment/debt spiral.

The free market could work if housing was a depreciating asset like cars. Too many people in the west would be pissed off if that happened, though. It will come to some countries with collapsing demographics and that won’t be a pretty sight.
'Meeting Friday" is not enough information to have me attend the meeting. So I'm not sure what this analogy was supposed to illustrate.
I will say it's not that easy to find seitan and tempeh in a lot of the West. Tofu and TVP these days seem to be everywhere. If you have an easy source for these (and don't have to make your own like seitan) be thankful. Though if you're vegan thanks for fighting the good fight :) (signed not a vegan but someone who grew up with a cultural disdain for eating meat)
From OpenAI's "fuller statement":

> “We're incredibly sorry that we're only changing this language now; it doesn't reflect our values or the company we want to be.”

Yeah, right. Words don't necessarily reflect one's true values, but actions do.

And to the extent that they really are "incredibly sorry", it's not because of what they did, but that they got caught doing it.
> I find it incredible that an artwork that was apolitical and relatively tame would just be wholly prohibited from display.

Later times, but abstract expressionism was used as a propganda tool in cold war and propped up by CIA. Nothing apolitical in paint splattered at seemingly random fashion.

It's my understanding that Close to elections, governments (state and federal) sometimes offer to underwrite the risk so the un-insurable can continue to live there (no insurance? no mortgage)

The end result is massive unfunded Civil Engineering burdens the corps of engineers have to design, and try to get built without stuffing up the hydrology for somewhere else. I think New Orleans may be an example of this: If there was will, then "forced depopulation" of the floodzones would be kinder and cheaper but I suspect there isn't will, and so instead the levee system.

In Australia, government mandated buybacks are immensely painful. People who want to stay have to leave. People who want to leave are 10cm above a threshold and have to stay.

In NZ, during the Christchurch earthquake aftermath, The state allowed stayers and goers to swap assets and payout, so a stayer in a condemned region could give their payout to a goer in a stay region, who didn't want to stay. Not a bad model.

It's not about "labels", it's about people embracing those labels as an identity.

Historically, only a small proportion of the population would identify themselves by their zodiac sign, their temperament, whatever.

Now, a growing, significant proportion are identifying themselves AS their disorder. That in itself, could be seen as a meta-disorder, as people are, and should be, more complex than a single label, let alone a disorder.
> EVs charge what is minimum required for the next leg of the journey

If you put the route in there and it has access to the weather. I imagine this is a standard feature on a few luxury models but my guess it's not in most of the EVs sold on the market. It also requires the user to know this and to remember to do this on long journeys when they're likely not in the habit of it on short ones.

> and leave with the rest of the battery empty.

This compromise does not exist in current fueling stations. I can get a full 300 miles in my 30mpg vehicle in 60 seconds. You've very effectively summed up "range anxiety" in two sentences.

I mean.. I get that people want EV infrastructure to replace petroleum infrastructure. I am one of those people. I simply think it's unrealistic to expect this hyper fast infrastructure change and I think it's bad practice to ignore the obvious factors or user experience when plotting out the roadmap of the future.

I would personally plan on a 25 to 50 year cycle for complete replacement of petroleum. In the scale of human ventures, this is a heartbeat, and I genuinely don't understand the reluctance to simply admit it and be a small part of it.

The only reason to broadcast a "revolution" prematurely is to profit off of peoples ignorance. It's nice to believe /we/ could be a part of that revolution but I honestly think it sets the whole market back. It's far more successful and ethical to make the small incremental steps towards a true progress that you may never witness (or profit from) in your lifetime.
> In todays work once you give out a number you cant take it back

This isn't true. If it were, then home ISPs would never renumber client networks.

You're probably thinking about the larger allocations handed to folks who have ASNs, rather than the small allocations handed small ISP customer sites... and even then, those can totally be reclaimed.
Mosh is an essential requirement for any kind of mobile work over ssh, combine it with tmux and iTerm2 tmux integration and you can work on a remote server without even knowing it :D
> Do LLMs present emergent capabilities

You say no. I will have to disagree. Not in the fuzzy sense of "emergent = intelligent" people seem to be using. But in that LLMs are under the hood doing complex linear algebra, and when you pair numbers with words (or token word fragments), something like human language seems to emerge.

LLMs have no concept of language, just matrices. The fact that we can map language to matrices with training, and then matrices to language with generative transformers, doesn't mean there's anything like intelligence going on. It's just pattern matching all the way down. But a surrogate of NLP emerges out of this.
A bit of a tangential meta comment, but it's refreshing to see a cool website in 2024 like this, all content no fluff. I'm surprised to see it still using frameset. But also sort of sad that there's currently no HTML5 equivalent to have resizeable panels like this without messing with javascript, mouse events, and so many edgecases. Frameset still works in all browsers, so I suppose you could can just use that, although it's been deprecated for almost 20 years now.

I understand that the purpose of HTML is not to support such functionalities, but CSS could have filled the gap. The closest we ended up getting was "resize" but it only affects one element.
"do something"? The whole issue is that each "thing" has both pros and cons, anything universally agreed to have more pros than cons is already being done.

The rest of the "something" have cons, and people disagree on the relative value of the cons.

"signs" has nothing to do with it.
Linguistically it would be pretty annoying, I agree. Although perhaps not dramatically different from the romanization of Slovak or Polish.

The point is more that there are many obvious political reasons why a future Ukraine might go down this path.
Desalinization solves that problem. More people can and will move to all of those places.

Doomsayers keep predicting the end of civilization and then the people that contribute to the world innovate and prove them wrong.

The truth is, those people are just anti-natalists hoping for the end of humanity.
That’s not because it’s some deep philosophical problem, but because people refuse to define what they mean by consciousness.

Do they mean memory? Attention? Awareness? Self awareness? The inner voice? Qualia? All of these can be explained somewhat, but they keep moving the goalpost
I’ve spent time on the Tibetan plateau and suffered from meat overload. We only had meat to eat each night, and my gums began to feel really uncomfortable. I guess at high altitudes, veggies really are a luxury.

India has a lot of carb veggies as well, which I found really interesting. I found it hard to get leafy greens of some sort (the vegetables you need to eat to stay healthy, cooked or otherwise) when I visited Delhi and Jaipur. But that could have just been me picking the wrong places to eat. China has much more leafy greens in my opinion, but again I’m limited in experience when it comes to South Asia. They definitely take the cake in making tofu taste like meat, but I’m not really into that.

I am saying any optimization that isn't guided by profiler results, rather what people say, is nonsense.

When I started coding, my first computer was a Timex 2068, containing a Z80 running at 3.5 MHz, with 64 KB, 48 KB available for data, loading data by tape.

The first computer where I was programming in C++, was a 386SX runnning at 20 Mhz (with a turbo button for 40 Mhz, yuupi!), 2 MB RAM (only accessible with extenders, otherwise 640 KB), 40 MB hard disk (later converted to about 80 MB thanks to disk compression tools of the day), with DR-DOS 5.

My current phone, holds a Exynos 1280, with 2 cores at 2.4 GHz and 6 cores at 2.0GHz, with 8 GB RAM, and SSD storage.

And my phone is a toy, when compared with what a standard desktop computer, or servers are capable of in 2024.

Additionally all modern hardware architectures are NUMA, multi-core, hybrid with GPUs.

So unless someone can really prove that their gut feeling is going to fail on the expected deployment hardware, really fail flat on the floor, like the execution deadline is 5 ms, and the application can't do less than 5 ms no matter what, they are needlessly cargo culting optimizations.
> Do you really think people who get evicted for not paying bills automatically get sent to a different city?

When did I say that?

> How do you propose your magic mechanism to send people from SF away the moment they become homeless?

What does this have to do with anything? The vast majority of tenants evicted in San Francisco receive both legal representation and relocation fees starting at ~$7k per person and more if you claim disability, which most do.

There are ~80 nonpayment evictions in the city annually, and there were ~0 from 2020-2023.

> Someone who ends up homeless is going to stay in a place that is familiar to them.

Probably true of the average homeless person, but there are many more homeless people outside San Francisco than in it, so you only need to believe a small percentage of, say, California's homeless population ends up in the city for local homelessness to be dominated by folks who lost their last stable shelter outside the city.
How did this not raise an eyebrow?

This article seems to miss the drastic religious importance and confuses it for politics. Of course religion affects politics, but I don’t think that was really the aim nor the main reason Sts Cyril and Methodios are held in such high honour.

First and foremost they are honoured as “equal to the apostles, enlighteners of the Slavs” as they were first and foremost missionaries. That the article calls them “diplomats” before even mentioning their mission work is already rather telling. Of course being sent somewhere by an emperor on the request of a duke will inevitably entail some diplomatic work, but that was hardly the point.

But I think it’s hard to overstate also the benefit the Slavic people saw in having Christianity in a language they understood as well as the benefit of having their religion and all the necessary literary tradition that comes with it being broadly compatible with the spoken vernacular.
This is fun! I've been collecting such examples here https://git.new/llmsec. I will add this one later today.
Well, maybe not crazy. Just heavily legacy.

There are a few deeply frustrating things, if you ask me:

All the media files are stored in a single uploads/year/month (maybe year/month/day) directory, which can mean some very big directories of file variations

There's code that cannot be fun to support anymore, like the Pluggable functions (that still let you get Wordpress to check some external login system)

There's still really not enough of a sense of a "model" anywhere.

It still (AFAIK) stores some things in the database using PHP serialization (which is unambiguously the most annoying serialization format on earth, and means that search and replace tasks must be done in PHP)

I mean... it's hard to blame them for not wanting to break stuff, and the commitment to backwards-compatibility is very nearly unprecedented.

I think WordPress is great, and I am not judging. I'm just saying, there are decisions that might have gone better with a little more foresight. But some of them are literally twenty years old and hard to change now.

Not that WP is alone in that -- FreeCAD is just getting through its "fix a two decade legacy problem" as we speak!

Matt is right about zip uploads. I mean it's better than explaining to random users how to upload nested hierarchies over FTP, but still.
Many devs are also to blame, there are enough hybrid laptops around to pick from, so basically they are voting with their wallet validating that this kind of workarounds are acceptable.
Forth style threaded code was used not just for Forth - it was popular strategy for implementing higher level languages at one point, especially to reduce size of resulting binaries.

Funnily enough, some later more advanced compiler systems could be considered to have bits resembling that in code generation, with Virtual OPerations that abstracted CPU instructions (often more than one).

And indeed, threaded interpreters are one of the efficient ways to implement VMs in resource constrained setups.
