First two make sense ... rentals is really complex. How long are you willing to hurt those with the least amount of money.

Maybe a home owners break, and a second weaker first rental/vacation home break would match the current approach (and dodge more of the individuals who'd kill the legislation for for your idea. Alternately, a discount for occupied properties.

I was initially thinking corporate owned rentals or anyone with more than 2 properties, but the above seems cleaner.
I think the problem here is that 'understanding' is not the same as curve fitting.

If all one is doing is giving a model lots of data and fitting curves it's not really 'understanding' but brute forcing it's way (with gradient descent) and then storing the weights and finally approximate the solution when a query is passed in.

This is not the same as understanding. Human intelligence can operate deterministically as well as non-deterministically. We can listen to language, which is by it's nature non-deterministic and convert that into deterministic operations and vice a versa. IE we can operate on some logic and explain it in multiple ways to other people.

Understanding requires much less data than brute forcing your way into pattern recognition.

When you see a simple number like this 2 * 4 you are able to understand that it's equivalent to 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 and that in turn means 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 <- Count that and you've got your answer.

Because you 'understand' this basic concept and all the operations in between you are able to compute more examples. But you only need to understand it once. Once you understand multiplications and additions and all the tricks in between you are able to compute 23 * 10 without being fed 23 * 10 as prior data. Understanding is very different from fitting a curve. You can reach conclusions and understanding through pattern recognition, but it's important to differentiate 'approximation' from 'calculation'. If you understand something in it's entirety you should be able to calculate an outcome deterministically.

Right now LLMs lack 'understanding', and seems to only 'approximate' which may seem like 'understanding' but is actually not.
Traffic on I-10 at Arizona state line is 31k vehicles per day, with peak hour being 4.3k vehicles per hour. Assuming 350Wh/km, 120kW average charging rate and 90% utilization 3.2 charger stalls per mile per 1k vehicles/hour are needed. Or putting it differently, a 100 charger site with 12MW of power every 5 miles.
Yes. This. I think the writing is doubly despicable for discrediting an important argument I agree with. Also I'm irked that the author has so little respect for his readers that he thinks none of them will Google any of the names in his piece.
Well, I suppose OpenAI's products will now be safe for Sam Altman and his goals.

I'm not so sure about the rest of us, though.

Anyway, life imitates art. I'm sure Dick Jones was on OCP's safety team, which is how he was able to add Directive 4 to Robocop's programming (https://robocop.fandom.com/wiki/Prime_Directives).
> The thing is that preventing "sharing" isn't sufficient.

Exactly this. It doesn't matter that google doesn't "share" what they gather if they own so many conversion funnels from top to bottom anyway.
I disagree. Being rude is about being offensive; this is different from someone being offended.

For example, I was mugged at gunpoint once. The person very politely asked for my walled (it turns out when you have a gun pointed at someone you can afford to be polite). When I asked if I could keep my wallet and just hand over the cash, he responded (again surprisingly politely) in the negative.

If I had just ignored his request, would that have been "pretty rude"? [Ignoring whether or not this course of action would be advisable.]

And for a second hypothetical example. If I asked you to respond to me agreeing with everything I said, would it be "pretty rude" for you to ignore it?

In both cases the answer has to be no. The nature and intent of the request have to be considered when determining whether or not ignoring it is rude. And in this context (recording a medical event), they almost certainly want you to not record in case they do something wrong and the recording is used to prove it. It's a self serving request and it potentially works against the best interest of the patient in events where they believe their care is not sufficient.
Does it rely on the fact that music has a concept of notes with well-defined frequencies and that there is no such thing as 216 Hz (must be 207.6 or 220 Hz) when the music is played on a properly tuned instrument? Or does it use other heuristics?
Ask HN: AI labeling and TL;DR for HN posts?
HN is a great source of news. Not every subject is of equal interest to everybody though. Ideally I would like to have a personalized feed of submissions that may interest me, with a short summary of the linked article.

I now use the RSS feed of new submissions to automatically filter posts on keywords in the title (e.g. "space" but not "SpaceX"). This has the added benefit that niche articles with 0 upvotes will still get my attention. An AI should be able to fairly easily categorize each article so you could filter on category/label instead of literal keywords. This could also address a request often seen on HN "is there an HN focussed on subject xyz", because this way focus can be achieved by means of a filter with HN as the single source. A generated TL;DR would be a bonus.

Knowing the amount of smart and AI focussed people over here, probably someone has already thought about or even implemented this. So what do you think? Ideally this would be a publicly available feature instead of everyone analyzing and filtering articles themselves.

Edit: changed "posts" to submissions to make clear it is about submitted articles, not comments
For the space that these diamond intersections use, wouldn't a roundabout also fit in that space and be a better option?
I'd be keen to check that out! I've been toying around with similar thoughts the last year or so. Metrics and dashboards aren't enough and the GH site doesn't really have an org-level view.

The article doesn't mention the numerous downsides to pedestrians for diverging diamond interchanges. Four crossing points means a lot more conflict points and a lot more chances for death.

> I'm not an expert on vinyl. The only record players I've interacted with have only had two speeds. Do most of them do variable spin rates?

Lots of turntables have variable speed, DJs can tell you more about it :)

> How frequently do the rates get out of sync? What causes it? Do they vary on an album by album basis?

When you're DJing, one of the main things you'd deal with, is making things be in sync, one way or another. I'm not sure how much value you'd get from an app like this that seems to be more "fire and forget" and not for on-the-fly matching.

I'm guessing this app is for people who do their own maintenance, repairs and such of turntables, so they can easily verify their work.

Shouldn’t such Safety teams be by definition independent?
Delusional over what?

Why should "wide adoption" be relevant? We are already very well informed (much too well informed) that "people" are """odd""". What are your assumptions?

If you need to drive a screw, and few people used screwdrivers - who cares? You'd still use screwdrivers even when people tried to use cakes or monkeys or simply stopped driving screws, would you not?

You already expect "people" to use cakes or monkeys for something when they would normally be expected to drive screws - actually, you expect to be surprised with much worse ideas becoming realities. So?

Screwdrivers remain relevant, and using them properly remains equally relevant. And especially so, when you note that people are there with loose parts stuck together because the cake smudged monkey was not precise!
Original title: When driving on the wrong side of the road is the right way to speed up traffic

There are a few Diverging Diamond intersections around here and they seem to all work rather well from a vehicle perspective. I can't speak about the pedestrian side of that equation, as I've never been on foot.

Compares to a roundabout placed over a highway, it uses 1 bridge instead of two, but otherwise I don't know which flows best.
but it's not necessarily needed in dense urban centers. Plenty of laptop class people could secure housing in rural areas for a fraction of the cost of what they're paying now.
A "properly tuned instrument" still requires a base frequency (usually defined for A4). Whether to use 440Hz or another slightly different frequency is a fun debate to get into.

You don’t necessarily have to use “alive” as the metric though.

Do we know if older people are living unassisted in their homes longer? That’s all we really care about in this context. Or not even unassisted, but family members moving in and taking care too.
A very US-centered view for sure, I see just tons of insecurity and other negative emotions. Europeans don't have this with such ferocious intensity.

One of happiest countries in the world - Switzerland, has minimal home ownership, people simply focus on more important matters in life (and rules and their actual enforcement are on next 10 levels compared to general US, yet nobody does biggest financial move in their lives based on those).

In this thread, I mostly see young folks frustrated that their easy investment chance evaporated, although it was never actually easy but people owned and desired to own radically less in the past. A bit of greed, a bit of FOMO, a bit of emotions described above. And an intense sense that a big, well-located house (not an apartment, hell no) is not everybody's right, but their basic human right enforced by some Geneva convention and UN forces. They will happily accept brutal communism with whatever else it brings just that they can get it too.

Or its one of those few topics where HN really isn't the best place to look for balanced opinions. I get it, I would maybe feel the same if I was in such situation bound with such mindset.
No, we should say "authentication" and "authorization". I usually shorten the first to "authen." and the second to "authz.". I avoid "auth.", but when I do use it either it's clear from context which I mean or I mean both.
Fancy record players have a trim setting where you can fine adjust the speed up or down a semitone. But all of them have a built in stroboscope/calibrator to help get the speed right. I think the drag of the needle impacts the speed, hence the desire to tune it per record.

Audioplebs need not apply.
Tesla and Waste
So really short description, you have 33, 45, and 78 rpm.

Most record players are belt drive. Anything that is belt drive usually has some slip / variation (if more familiar to you, imagine the belt drive on a lawn tractor). Many have a finer adjustment to tune the spin rate. +- off of the selected rate. (Perhaps you selected 33 rpm but it’s really spinning at 32)

I’m sure someone who knows much more then I do, could give a much better explanation along with other types of tuning. (Arm weights, needles, etc etc)
It's not 40%, though; the relevant 100% is not 100 million years, it's "several billion years".
Most of the funded and innovative work on WebAssembly & co seems to come from various cryptocurrency/blockchain groups, for better or worse.
Great info. I think you’ve established that authN and authZ are perfectly adequate but I think the fact you had to dig this up shows they aren't widely understood.

The proposed renaming seems like it would solidify the lack of understanding, which would be an undesirable outcome.
I think it's less that it's gaining in popularity than that we're seeing some backlash from the people who aren't liking Rust as much as they wanted to. The boring truth is still that if you have a "bottom layer" task to solve that needs access to hardware details (be it instruction formats, SIMD algorithms, MMIO drivers, system-dependent stuff like container management, etc...) C remains the quickest and easiest and frankly the most fun environment to do it in.

I mean, there's a reason why Karpathy is hacking on "llm.c" as part of his "clean up the world" project and not "llm.rs".

Is that a good thing or bad thing? I won't engage. But I think that's where the psychology is. For myself, I genuinely love C in a way that it's clear I never will Rust.
All paths point singularity-way but a cone will also see a false image from in falling photons. That cone will get smaller the further in you fall. That doesn't mean you aren't pointed at the singularity, only that some photons are going faster than you. It's like saying that because some traffic on the highway is passing you, you're actually going backward.

All paths inside the event horizon lead to singularity. Full stop. This is reinforced by the Penrose diagrams you mention.
Yeah, that's why it's illegal to walk on the side of highways.

I did not ask the comparison with production in mind, but to make things fair between one runtime that executes with JIT by default versus the CPython that does not yet, but we are getting there!
Like this:

Having said that, as someone who has some historical familiarity with these sorts of intersections, but doesn't live in a country that has them, they are pretty scary too when encountering them only rarely.
Doesn’t seem as complicated as, say, coding a lexer for C. And why shouldn’t tokenisation use lexers or an equivalent?
There are no docs. Once you create an account you will have a setup guide and will have a useful snippets section in your dashboard that contains everything you need to know about file0.

Yes. By default all your files are private and only you can access them. To make a public url you can use f0.publish('filename');
This returns a static url that you can share with anyone, and they can download the file.

This url will stay valid until the file is deleted or unpublished via f0.unpublish('filename');

If you call publish again, it will generate a new public URL.
No, forcefully moving people around has not changed any minds and

Not sure how you frame a political stunt as a moral comeuppance.
Why would that be likely?
There are many, many (rural) places in the United States of America (where services and opportunity are not in demand) that allow for simple living at very low expense.
401 may or may not be unauthenticated, but it doesn't necessarily mean that. It just means that you do not have the authority to do whatever you were trying to do. A 401 implies that you need to gain authority to do what you want to do and try again[1].

A 403 means that it is simply forbidden. You cannot gain the authority to do what you want to do[2] and has nothing to do with credentials, no matter how nicely you ask.

For example, getting a project in your organization may return 401 (simply ask an admin for access), while getting a project in a different organization may return a 403 (you cannot get access to other organizations, ever).

EUR 400k for a newly build home in the greater Berlin area seems like extremely affordable in my opinion.

Houses, like other goods, decrease in value over time. A new house should be significantly more expensive than a 50 year old house - just like a car.

> My point is that the probability of getting a proper English word is very unlikely. Most of the time, you'll get gibberish strings.

Sure, but given a large enough sample both will likely exist. So the fact that one happens to be english should not surprise anyone nor does it suggest meaning.

> Also, I didn't say the sentence to be encoded in morse code. Instead, the galaxies form the literal shape of "W", "E", and so on. I hope you can see that in this case, it's borderline impossible to happen.

I used morse as its easy to reason about. There's no reason to think shapes are impossible - you just have to define what makes a shape and then look for patterns that match.

Humans have been finding patterns in clouds, stars and even toast since time immemorial.

We have an intersection like this just south of Santa Fe, where NM14 intersects I25.

NM14 is not a highway.
Models targeted at DJs will have variable speed adjustment on the front panel to allow beat-matching. Some turntables for home listening will have 2 or 3 speeds with a fine adjustment for calibration.

Rates will be off due to manufacturing tolerance or mechanical wear (i.e. a loose belt slipping on a motor).

Most people don't worry about it.

It doesn't really vary album-to-album, unless you have some ridiculously heavy records that slow the motor.

The number of people who can so barely afford a PS5 that they can’t also afford a computer (these are a hell of a lot cheaper than a PS5), but are willing to screw with their PS5 in ways likely to mess it up in one way or another (if only making gaming impossible without further tinkering) is approximately zero.
Why would any real qualified candidate apply to a job posting like that? I'd look at it, say "this is nonsense/some kind of scam" and move on. You're basicaly just ensuring that you'll only get applications from AIs, idiots, or extremely desperate individuals.

Great copywriting. It's very rare that I read an entire paragraph without skipping a word.
I don’t think this would be aimed at DJ turntables. It doesn’t matter if those things drift because you’re never playing anything locked in at a specific RPM.

Plus DJ turntables tend to be direct drive, which should be pretty consistent. Where as consumer record players tend to be more belt drives. And I’m assuming those belts can stretch with time?
I suppose OP can claim "Huh, I don't know, must be a bug in the software I'm using." (there's been cases where MS Word kept deleted text in the Word file, yes I know a CV is usually PDF, but hey, maybe my homebrew PDF generator is buggy!)

And I wonder if this argument would fly, e.g. in a court of law: "the information I would like to convey to HR is the one that is readable by human eyes when my CV is rendered by a normal PDF reader (e.g. insert known PDF readers here), anything that is not readable by the human eyes should not be considered part of my CV.".

We have had one of these locally for a while now. It does seem to work well but since they're rare and I don't normally drive around that area, when I do I really need to pay attention to the road signs to know what's going on and where to go as it's definitely not intuitive.

Ours seems like it was put in instead of any other option due to the available real estate. The diverging diamond doesn't seem to take up any more space than the existing roads and intersection did. The existing bridge work for the highway overpass didn't have to change afaict.

What I find more offputting is that they aim to be international but mention things that are clearly American-centric (BLM is not an international thing, you know? In most other countries, all people's lives matter and that needs not be said. Saying that in Africa may even be offensive as that kind of implies it wasn't clear that their lives mattered until someone said it?! To me it's almost like a Serbian project mentioning that only people who support Bosnia's independence are welcome - without trying to make any sort of equivalence except for the absurdity of "local" issues spilling outside).
The history behind Toyota's hybrid synergy drive is very interesting, and shows how an innovator can turn into a laggard over time through institutional culture and inertia.
