Lol bedroom police. Yes, because that's exactly what we were discussing.

Or, you could, you know, make it more affordable to build smaller homes with fewer bedrooms so people actually have options when they become empty nesters.

Depends on your business. Most b2b companies probably don’t need to care about invalidation, at least not in the startup phase. For B2C it’s going to be more important. But ask yourself “why do I need to pre-emptively invalidate tokens?”
Just nitpicking here, but Milan (Lombardy) is the second most expensive region in Italy. The first ist South Tyrol: https://www.immobiliare.it/mercato-immobiliare/

Probably because income there is higher than in the province of Milan, and quality of life is better for some indicators.
Public statement from the insider who leaked internal Google documents [video]
The underlying thing is it doesn’t necessarily matter in illustrating the point, especially in a discussion about moral hazard. This is because having insurance means the owner now has a strong incentive to see the place burn down (as long as it happens in a way that doesn’t stop a payout) because someone else will pay him if that happens. Assuming that payout is ‘worth it’ compared to the alternative of it not burning down.

It could be from leaving the door open ‘accidentally’ so someone ‘breaks in’ and does it (actually, or intentionally) or it could be hiring someone to do it - as long as they don’t get caught in a way that stops the payout. Or ignoring that pile
of cardboard boxes near the oven, or the weird smoke smell near the electrical panel. Or not hiring security when they know they have angry protestors threatening to burn the place down. Or pissing off the local unstable homeless dude, and then not doing anything when he threatens to burn your place down. It doesn’t have to be a rational or conscious decision for it to be a problem for the insurer.

Moral hazard is a fundamental problem with insurance, because insurance by design and necessarily by definition removes loss/creates payouts for events that would otherwise leave the owner solely on the hook. Which if not done carefully, can alter behavior significantly.

It’s usually mitigable, or no one sane (or able to remain solvent long term!) will write such a policy. The early days of insurance, there were plenty of examples of people abusing it or weird edge cases causing insurance companies to go bankrupt. These types of
Risks are so obvious though, and the industry so much more mature, that in modern history it’s usually due to corporate incompetence or the like.

For example, good luck getting a huge life insurance policy on a random homeless person and having it pay out if they die (regardless of if you had anything to do
with their death).

Or not having a serious investigation if a friend gets in a car accident with you and gets lifelong disability injuries.

Insurance fraud is a crime created for the insurance industry to help protect them, and in theory reduces insurance costs and helps society.

Because this issue is always on their mind for a good reason.

They’re also a business in it to make a profit, and will happily exclude reasonable things and refuse to payout for reasonable claims if they think they can get away with it. Hell, I can’t think of any insurance company that likes paying out for anything.

But that doesn’t change the nature of moral hazard.

Your argument is weird because you’re essentially saying moral hazard isn’t an issue because there are laws making some of the more obvious damaging behaviors illegal.

But that’s like arguing it’s never dangerous to drive a car because there are laws making reckless driving, driving without a license, drunk driving, vehicular homicide, etc. illegal.

When actually, those laws are because at a fundamental level, it’s always dangerous to drive a car, these problems are common, and we’re attempting to mitigate them somewhat because we think (at a societal level) it’s worth it.
I don't think it's really about Latin vs Cyrillic. Cyrillic is indeed very natural even for Slavic languages that only use Latin (modulo language-specific tweaks), but same results can be achieved with diacritics in Latin - take a look at Czech, Slovak and Serbo-Croatian alphabets. On the other hand, Polish alphabet really feels painful to an outsider, but that seems to be more about how it uses Latin, not about Latin itself.

Granting that, the original point was that they're not excited about this particular paper unless (for example) it improves the networks' general reasoning abilities.

The problem was never "my llm can't do addition" - it can write python code!

The problem is "my llm can't solve hard problems that require reasoning"
I don't think you understood logic of original statement, although its clearly explained with matching numbers.

Btw those disproportional numbers can be easily real anywhere in the world even in much bigger ratios, I can confirm them from Europe - if you want to invest in properties, location is absolute top priority as we all know that. Those properties appreciate faster than average market, don't suffer much drops in crises, and of course are at most desirable locations for whatever reason.
Not let the city to hijack the companies to force rto is a good start. I estimate that lots of the companirs didn't really care that much about rto but the cities are forcing their hands because of their commercial buildings and real estates depends on them

This comment will not go over well on HN but I am in full agreement. I am actually extremely disappointed as I thought tech would enable a more dispersed society. Instead we received the opposite.
> customers often felt “catfished” when they discovered their food came from an unbranded, virtual kitchen rather than a reputable restaurant.

This, plus the poor quality, is why I stopped ordering food for delivery entirely. You never know what it's going to be, and even ordering delivery from a real, established restaurant doesn't mean that the food is coming from that restaurant. It just turns everything into a "brand".

Now if I don't want to eat out but want someone to make my meal for me, I order for pickup from the restaurant.

I don't see how MealCo is proposing anything that will change that equation for me.
Certifiably Robust RAG Against Retrieval Corruption
Ireland are a complete outlier, as the government incentivised itself not to deliver on housing as a result of IMF/Troika bullying. It set up National Asset Management Agency in 2009 to clean the property crash related debts from the balance sheets of the main Irish banks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Asset_Management_Agen...

As per the usual government mouthpieces, it was a roaring success -

"NAMA's overall contribution of €10.5 billion to the State, comprising its projected surplus €4.9 billion and recoupment of the €5.6 billion of state aid it paid to the participating institutions, represents a significant outperformance relative to expectations at inception in late 2009"
https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2024/0306/1436280-nama-ibrc...

Sadly it has resulted in arguably the worst housing crisis in the EU. 68 per cent of people aged between 25-29 in Ireland still live at home. This figure is nearly 26 per cent higher than the EU average of 42.1.
> Personally I don't worry about developers' job security prospects, being able to grok why a complex piece of software doesn't work has become more valuable in this context, not less.

Any programmer worth their salt could have said, and did say, that these tools are incomplete and insufficient, but unfortunately the ones who have the decision making power over such programmers’ “job security” are unable to see how their even knowing what a transistor is will assuage the shareholder’s insatiable need for “growth at all costs!”.

Developers job security should be unchanged but this snake oil is almost tailor made to strip the tech ignorant of all rational faculties.

If and when they do start to ask you back: demand ownership of your work, and triple the salary.
Honestly, I never allow people to abbreviate. You have to say "authenticate" (who are you) vs "authorize" (what are you allowed to do).

In fact I flag most abbreviations in code, for exactly this reason. We aren't charged by the character, spell it out, future you will always thank you.

6-7 years ago there was A LOT of vacant or derelict properties (like, close to 50% maybe). Ever since real estate price started going up in Portugal, Lisbon has been full steam into renovating. At one point I could count 47 cranes just from my balcony in Lisbon center. It just takes at least 10 years to refurbish 50% of buildings in a city.

The reason there were so many derelict properties was a law in Portugal that prevented landlords to increase rent unless tenants were moving. Some tenant who had been renting for decades paid less than $100/mo. No wonder why landlords had no incentive to fix this. This has now changed, I think?
I'd focus on becoming more spiritual, spending more time in nature, reducing my waste footprint and disconnecting from the world.

I don't believe that "making society more rational, healthy, and well-coordinated" is a contribution; this sounds like those who have private jets and go to global conventions to about saving the environment. It sounds to me like you are a narcissist as well, to think that you are more rational than others or know better just because you have money.

The world is pretty rational, if they aren't healthy, it's because people are building the Coke's and Kraft Heinz around the world, companies that are predatory and exploit weaknesses of others.

Try to live a life that you no longer need to exploit others, or animals, or the environment you live in, and of course, document it so others can do it as well.

There are way too many rich folks already trying to change the world and making it worse because they are only looking at the bright side, not the side-effects of what they do, much less on how they live.

Rich people don't try to do this because they know it's really hard. Living sustainably is harder than having a job or making money.

Refreshing to see other voices out there who get it, thanks for posting. The financialization of housing and guarantee of an increasing asset price allowed global wealth to pile into purchasing as much real estate as they can.

Not only does the pump of money increase housing purchases (it's a short against the currency), but unstable currencies also cause real estate to go up as wealth looks for safety.
It seems to me that such a cap would help affordability for people who are currently renting homes that they can't afford to buy, but it's not going to make more homes available (and might slow down the rate of building due to the value of a newly built home being lower), so won't help anyone who isn't already in a home, or who already owns their home. (The latter of which it will hurt by decreasing their home value.)
When I was a kid — and not just as a kid, this was still the case 10 years ago — summarising text was considered "AI-complete" (also known as "AI-hard").

> Intelligence has yet to be accurately defined --- and there is no reason to believe it is a statistical function

Other than the work of Rev. Bayes, Prof. Schrödinger. Plus, now I think about it, saying "randomness can't lead to intelligence" is the talking point for all the people who insist Darwin is wrong and there has to be an intelligent designer.
Getting off Unity, or Unreal, is the same as asking "how do we get off Office?".

Before their ascension there were already plenty to middleware to chose from, Ogre3D, SFML, SDL, Gamemaker, RenderWare, jMonkeyEngine,...

They aren't used as much, even the free ones, because of supported languages, tooling, asset store, platform owners support, and everything else that keeps them relevant in the industry despite their flaws.

Show HN: I made a free app to calibrate your turntable by simply playing a song
Hey there!

I made a little app that lets you to calibrate your turntable by putting on any record and tapping a button. It's called Grooved and it uses your phone's microphone to see how fast your platter is going, almost like magic.

You can see what it looks like in action here: https://twitter.com/OKatBest/status/1795453042994680148

The app itself is free without ads, subscriptions, or trackers. It's a tool I built for myself, and I just thought someone else might want to use it too. I have never seen this technology being used before, all other apps require you to either print something and use the camera, or to place your phone on the spinning platter and use the accelerometer.

You can grab it on the App Store, and I am working on an Android version I hope to release at some point in June.

Would love to hear what you think about it!

You can just edit the copy that ‘go get / go build’ download to your system. Afterwards undo the edits or re-download the module to wipe out your edits. No need to use go.work, local replaces, or anything. The files are on your disk!
I'm not sure, and that slightly concerning to me. I'm on the path to be financially independent within the decade, but I'm not really sure what I'd do in that case. I'd probably keep writing software (since that's my first love) and just have the complete freedom to quit a job or take time off if I want.

I'd like to get into some more hobbies, since I really went 100% in on software once I started working full time and I'd really hate to burn out on this. Working a shorter week or with more half days would be great too. We'll see. Life changes.
That analogy doesn't seem like a match. If you ask a user if they're willing to share every action they ever take "only to improve the reliability of the software", a lot of them are going to say "wait, why would you even need that?"

If I'm letting you scrape crash dumps and my browser happens to crash in the request where I send my credit card information to xhamster, that's one thing. Odds are that's never happened to anyone. It's another thing for you to guarantee that you're planning to record that information.
IIRC We're just over 1 order of magnitude on the physical qbit error before we should see the exponential gains from error correction that theory predicts.

Identification & Authorisation are a better pairing here than Authentication and Authorisation.

This way, if someone says "Oh yeah we have an auth module on this site" you don't need to immediately disambiguate the statement.

But then "auth" itself is ambiguous. So it might make sense to get rid of the lot. "Identification" is a good word for the first. Perhaps "Permissions" for the second?
but it makes sense to have a different encoding. Mathematics is a completely different language. Maybe we should have more than one class of encodings.
I don’t use the site much at all, but it isn’t really a matter of how I see the site—they clearly added features like issue tracking, commenting, and CI, and people use those features.
Yamaha used a CR2032 with legs as battery backup for sounds in most of their synthesizers starting at least with the DX7 that launched in 1983. So there is precedent.
At the time scales we're considering that's not even a rounding _error_.
And most of these session mechanisms are easy to work with as middleware in common web app frameworks making it pretty simple to stick with simpler sessions if everyone can get to the session store. Everyone way over complicates authn and sometimes barely even think about authorization. I have seen many a web app with poor JWTs implementation and abusable authz get broken. Sometimes the apps warranted the JWT implementation but it is a lot harder than many devs think.
Road planners embrace the diverging diamond interchange
I have used OAuth2 with and without JWTs as bearer tokens and pretty much used them the same way. JWT helps with fetching the user details without having to hit the DB/backend, and that's basically was the only difference to me.

I believe the issues he is describing is more OAuth2 rather than JWT.
If memory serves, that was actually a limit in the WinInet library that most/many HTTP clients were built on.
MSFT and Google have a vested interest in not training public models on private data. They would lose customers en mass. Instead, they offer private models for your private data.

Self-hosting all the things will distract you from the core value add your startup provides. It will also be a lower quality experience internally.
That’s one of the problems. The land is barely used. The infrastructure to charge the vehicles at peak, would be unused for the majority of time.

I remember 2 different studies thar popped on HN saying that:

1. Eating over 65g of proteins is bad (I can't remember what, but it was very bad for health)
2. If you eat the protein after a workout there is no upper bound to how much the body can assimilate and so it's all good

No idea how to proceed, but I can't help that if proteins are these hard to go by, there is a high chance we were not made to have that level of proteins (and possibly being that muscular), so while ok, it might be unhealthy over the long term.
This is all speculation. Science says one thing, but then something new is discovered and it says the opposite.
Alternatively, just don't worry about token revocation and all that complicated stuff? So you have a window of 5 minutes (or whatever your access token expiry is) that you can't revoke - is that a big deal?

A simple JWT implementation isn't that complicated, but you have to accept some limitations.

There is an email address to send errors and such. A secretary prints them and he marks up the hard copy (if necessary) which is returned with a reward check (when appropriate).

I have received one actual email from him, when I pointed out an error in the balances at the Bank of San Serriffe (https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/boss.html).

The email looks like it was typed by him - the style is right and it is signed "Don" - but the From: address has someone else's name.

Artificial Intelligence Prepares for 2001 (1983)
Yeah, that's what I meant. I would like per column type-hinting so that data frames are type-checked along with the rest of our stuff and everything is explicit.

I don't have anything I can show because the stuff I was working on was commercial and I don't code Pandas for fun at home ;)

The code I was maintaining / updating had long pipelines, had lots of folding, and would drift in and out of numpy quite a bit.

Part of the issue was my unfamiliarity with Pandas, for sure. But if I just picked a random function in the code, I would have no idea as to the shape of the data flowing in and out, without reading up and down the callstack to see what columns are in play.

Breakpoint and then look at the data, every time!
One of my biggest fears is a “Johnny get your gun” (or Metallica’s ‘One’) scenario where I’m actually aware but cannot communicate it. That seems worse than death.

For organ donation the organ removal doesn’t kill you. They take you off of life support equipment keeping you alive first. Basically it’s the same way you would have died if it weren’t for extreme modern medical intervention.

Either way, you should communicate with your loved ones about what you want to happen if you’re diagnosed as brain dead. Ideally memorializing it in writing. It’s hell to have to make that decision without knowing what the patient would have wanted.

It’s not the largest of the concerns involved but (if you haven’t) you might also want to consider the financial and mental/emotional cost to the people having to take care of you.

This sounds biased (because I hold biases) but it’s not intended to convince. We had a family member on a ventilator recently and it sucked. But at least there were plans put in place before it happened.
It's interesting but not very practical. It's an "algebra of types" with only constants, no variables, since C does not have type variables. Thus it misses much of the point of algebraic data types in a language like Haskell (deep composability and generics with very little code to write).

Take one of the most basic sum types in Haskell's base library, Maybe:

data Maybe a = Nothing | Just a

This simple construction gives you the ability to write functions over optional values and avoid the issues with null pointers. This would be an amazing feature to have in C but it can't be achieved due to C's very limited type system.
Yes but they were active participants in that process (through wars, treaties, etc). It’s not like Russia came in, took a map, drew some lines, and gave France to the Bourbons and England to the Plantagenets.
Yeah in my case electrical engineering :)
Hard disagree. The market is complex but a massive driver of price hikes is investment companies and private owners coming in to an already hot market and making cash offers that are higher than any aspiring homeowner can match with loans, which are inherently tied to the stated assessment of the property. It's the largest factor in the absolutely ridiculous prices we're currently seeing, and also the most straightforward to address.

It won't fix everything, of course, but it will give us a much more normalized market to then attempt further reform on, rather than the current one which has more in common with a casino floor than a market.
