This is a good perspective, and a great case study in understanding how freedoms are always in tension.

The usual remedy to protect people from freely making the mistake of entering into associations that harm them is regulatory, of course.

Employment regulations place certain rules on what you can expect when you choose to throw yourself into association with a company as an employee, to prevent you accidentally finding yourself at the whim of an abusive employer.

Regulating what kinds of things HOAs can demand is a perfectly reasonable thing for governments to do to make it safer for people to purchase houses with confidence they won’t be subjected to egregious restrictions.

So we do end up limiting freedom of association. You can’t join up into an HOA with your neighbors that bans any of you from selling your house to a black family.
Breaking: people in public don't want to be recorded and uploaded on the internet for millions to see.

Crazy, right?
There are other ways to make sure people can travel but I understand those are hard to imagine if you live somewhere where you only have hammers.
Ok but again, housing is the exact opposite:

and worker productivity vs income:

I'm 200% positive that both my grandparents and great grandparents had it better in pretty much every aspect (job security, housing, future perspectives) than we currently do. We have unlimited bread and circuses but scratch the surface and we're worse in every other aspects: I couldn't afford 14 kids even if 10 died instantly.
How is this a useful critique? The publishing being a subgoal doesn’t mean it’s not still a goal.
We just released a HN-like link aggregator for zero-knowledge proof, the technology at the core of most blockchain advances in the last years. We're hopping that we'll manage to create a new center for discussions around technical news, and if that works out around crypto news in general. It's still in beta but you can try one of these codes to register:

Try a motorcycle! The laws for lane splitting are the best in the country. You could probably fit 6 motorcycles in the space of one car.
I didn't believe your statement, so I looked up some numbers.

1989:

- Interest rate: 14.5%.

- Average house price: £58k.

- Monthly repayment: £650 (90% LTV, 25 year term).

- Average pre-tax income: £10k.

2024:

- Interest rate: 5.25%.

- Average house price: £282k.

- Monthly repayment: £1500 (90% LTV, 25 year term).

- Average pre-tax income: £35k.

So in 1989, an average mortgage was about 80% of an average gross income. In 2024, an average mortgage is about 50% of an average gross income.

I specifically chose 1989 because it was a year of high interest rates, but you can repeat the calculation for other years if you wish. I don't think the results will support your assertion.
There is, but who wants to use Teams or others for hobbies...

In the end there is nothing special about Discord, but it does most things people want well enough.
Every day I become more and more convinced that optimized code is more important than new code.

The most important rule of development is: don’t touch it if it works, don’t imitate improvements for the sake of the next update.

There are programs that people use for 30 and 40 years and do not want to change them to a new one, because they work like a Swiss watch.

programmers will always be in demand! because the neural network is not able to create, it only has what it has and produces it.

Which by their own admission is incomplete and of very poor quality, because no-one lets them count the dead in places like Mariupol. The picture is as muddy as with Jews in Europe during the WWII. Some are refugees, many are unaccounted, and nobody knows where they are. Probably in those mass graves Russians have dug everywhere.
Funny enough, also in Calgary and also seems up to me.
A Life-Changing Decision: More Time, Less Money
I am a 45-year-old sys admin from Italy. In Italy, a sys admin with 25 years of experience earns about 30,000 euros net per year if you work in the south, and 45,000 in the north. I am from southern Italy. Not long ago, I received an excellent job offer that would allow me to earn 45,000 euros per year while staying close to home. Initially, I accepted, even knowing that the working hours could reach 40/45 per week. But afterward, I decided to let it go. Instead, I chose a job that allows me to work only 5 hours a day and dedicate time to myself and my family, at the expense of about 17,000 euros less. More time for life, less money. Did I make the right choice?
My favourite local eatery has a website that looks like it was made in Frontpage 2003. It has a big long row of those coloured and textured bezel-effect buttons that were all the rage back then.

Most bizarrely of all, the restaurant was only opened in 2018.

The forum threads ARE the FAQs.

When enough people make the same thread to ask the same question, that is a frequently-asked question.
As cliche as this is, I'd start experimenting with social sports or exercise programs. It is much easier to stick with something that you actually like doing than going through the motions and grinding.

My experience: I discovered cycling as a kid and fell in love with it. That led me to doing centuries and long rides. I then discovered Starting Strength which led me to enjoy the weight room, which I still do today.
$2 is how.

The sample convinced me. $2 is a really small investment.

How do you propose doing that, though? Mass transit almost everywhere runs at a significant loss already and if we're talking buses then there's a significant driver shortage. In the US the distances and routes required outside of dense urban centers also pretty much necessitate a huge increase in transit time compared to driving, making the whole thing a bad value for people who can afford a car.

You're assuming you're a monolith, but in fact you have many subnetworks in your brain. The neocortex acts to process information from other parts of the brain, and it itself comprised of a network of interacting modules.

Induced demand is an argument from governments that don't think their purpose is to serve the public.

Public parks, museums, schools, and public safety all induce demand.

>Yet to get the case to court, Bragg had to turn the charges into felonies, with longer time limits. So he invented a novel and untested legal theory, maligned even by liberal legal commentators, that the bookkeeping issues were to illegally influence an election – his own 2016 winning election.

It's a special crime invented to get Trump. It's legally dubious that that's ok. I'm not a lawyer but I'm told there is a principle that laws should be clearly laid out rather than cobbled together after the offence and the case may well get overturned on appeal as a result.

Solution: buy an old, rusty, barely functionnal van, paint it the most provocative way for the conservative people while still abiding to the law. Boobs, penises, vulvas, LGBTQ+ slogans, drawings of Bin Laden with huge neon colors, whatever. Park it in your driveway if you have one, or on the street in front of your house if you can. With an amovible ramp, here is your bike shed.

Now after a few months you can apply for a permit to have a bike shed, maybe the concil will be more tolerant.

People have been tolerating thousands of ugly eyesore vehicles that do not match at all with the architecture but crack down on small, well integrated bike shed. This is just hypocrisy and jealousy by people who refuse to evolve to a new, better world.
It is a good opportunity to recommend reading "Skin in the Game" by Taleb? Even if this doesn't make a big difference in the final budget, the message is important. People is important, specially in big enough numbers. You are dealing with agents of your system, not nuts and bolts.

> The influence of the Dana Scully character on my generation of girls is known as the Scully Effect. We women who frequently watched The X-Files as teenagers were more than 50% more likely to study a STEM field in college than women who didn’t watch. (STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.) Nearly two-thirds of women currently working in STEM cited Scully as a major influence on their decision to pursue a STEM career. Two-thirds of women said Scully increased their belief in the importance of STEM, even if they did not pursue careers in a STEM field. Nine in ten women claimed Scully was a positive role model for girls.

DRY makes you CRY [video]
You just gave us a cliche about chain links, and you want a cliche in return? Just keep your cliche and call it a day.

Yes, I'm familiar with the scene you describe, but that is a small fraction of the places I have seen with chain link fences. In fact, regarding the barking dog, in my experience it is the solid wood fences with dogs inside that will not shut up because they can only hear but not see what might possibly be intruding. This is why it is common to cut access holes for the dogs to see out to realize there's nothing to bark at. I've seen versions from slits cut into the boards all the way to portal domes around the fence line.
And the greater shame, the value of the lives who do so volunteer to the fickle mob interests of which states are compromised.

I would support the right to deny voting rights or civil posts, and other civic benefits to "draft dodgers", for those truly do belong to the body of state. Incarceration or other forms of coerced bondage does contradict the imperative of a free society.
I vaguely recall Fred Brooks, in The Mythical Man-Month, using a somewhat similar situation, but involving the various US states' income tax rules and their relationship to the federal tax, as an example in order to make some sort of point (that point being 'know your data', IIRC.)

In a situation where there is a base model with specific modifications - which is, I feel, how airspace regulation mostly works - then I suspect that a DRY approach would make it easier to inspect and test, so long as it stays that way.
And electric lighting exists. If you're going to define when noise is acceptable based on when any significant contingent of people are up and active, then noise at 1AM (3AM on weekends) also falls under that definition. Yet the early riser coalition tends to complain about that...

And never mind that the main value add of leaf blowers (over the traditional rake) is to coat your neighbors with debris and dust, thus necessitating even more cleaning (inside too, if they dared to have their windows open).

Also I'd say it's your characterization of freedom that is a narrow misunderstanding. I'd define freedom as the ability for individuals to make their own choices in the presence of society. Being the only person for miles and thus being "free" to do whatever you want isn't some sensible ideal of freedom, rather it's a pathological case that has made freedom irrelevant. In other words, freedom itself directly depends on tolerance. And by the time a city is forcing someone to build yet another ticky-tack fence to hide the mere sight of a perhaps-ill-advised boat it's clear that there is very little tolerance aka respect for freedom.
I used to have a specialized YouTube graphical client at that time. You don't need to load the bloated YouTube website to watch YouTube videos. Probably same applies to Reddit.
Papers should be immutable, blogs bit rot, and anonymous peer review is important.

The million dollar question is why don't researchers publish on journals that don't charge outrageous open-access fees. Here the main problemis that carreer advancement is predicated on publishing in prestigious venues. Such venues take advantage of that by jacking their price. Fixing this will require cooperation from governments, which have leverage on both sides of the equation: they can help fund alternative paper repositories, and they are ultimately responsible for the rating criteria of what venues are prestigious and how research grants get awarded.
Sure, but none of that matters if the big publishers are the ones gobbling up the money anyway. For some reason it’s better to pay them a ridiculous amount of money to host PDFs than it is to pay for subscriptions? What’s the difference? Most university libraries have always had access to all the important journals and anyone can go there and do their research. The whole idea that subscription is evil and OA is good is ludicrous. We’re paying the same amount of money (or more) only to get a much, much shittier service, and a torrent of absolute meaningless “research” that only serves to drown out the good ones.

PS: And by the way, if you say that “not every country has access to these libraries” then think about whether they have money to pay for APCs.
> but if I understand it correctly you "just" need an openCL kernel and need to be able to shove the data back and forth somehow.

To use it with an FPGA accelerator you also have to build all the "hardware" to run said openCL kernel efficiently, manage data transfer, talk to the host, etc for the FPGA. This is very foreign if you're only used to doing software design and still very nontrivial even if you've done FPGA work, though I think there are some open hardware projects around doing this.
The thing that gets me is that the QR code menu is much, much worse than looking up the menu on the restaurant's regular web site. I've bypassed the QR code menu before and just started staging an order from their carryout ordering system, then used the shopping cart to organize and rattle off what I want to the server. I can also stage multiple items that I may be interested in for comparison, then make a final decision from the smaller list.
I am working on something similar [1] that you might like. It doesn't have the canvas view but that along with a git graph like UI is something that I haven't thinking of adding.

Advertising is potentially useful, it's the scale that's a problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPGgTy5YJ-g

Like, "Every inch of the new park is covered in sponsor branding" is a problem, but "I had no idea that a store selling towels opened in our town" is also a problem. These are both advertising, at some point you cross from "I didn't know about that, thanks" to "Just fuck off already" and that's too much advertising.

Dispepsi for example, the Negativland album, is premised on the idea that everybody on the entire planet already knows about Coca-Cola and Pepsi, so their continued advertising is entirely futile. Nobody who wants a brown fizzy beverage is unsure whether they could obtain such a thing or what it might be called. So all they're doing is annoying us.
Hang on, this isn't taking anything away from drivers at all - the roads aren't suddenly going away or falling into ruin, they're just not getting enlarged. It's not much of a stick and nor is it a punishment, any more than building a road without bike lanes is a punishment for cyclists.
Advertising worked OK when everyone understood what it was and how it was necessary to pay for free, or almost free, stuff.
I can remember when our local paper used to sell out everywhere on a Thursday afternoon because that was the day when all the job ads were published. No one ever complained there were too many of these. Similarly on a Friday when all the houses for sale or rent were posted.

As happened with other forms of cheap or free media such as regular mail, telephone calls and email, the returns for advertising eventually become a numbers game even when 99.9% of the audience hate them.
I lived in a pretty small town growing up and we were forced to sell the car I was going to get at 16 because I was 15 and it had been sitting for months. The city gave us a warning and was going to start fining us everyday until we got rid of it
I'm frankly surprised you stayed as long as you did.
Kind of expensive but wouldn't a transparent glass fence meet the requirement as per the words?
As somebody who has the family using debian for decades now, I am very averse to trying out a new daily driver. Of course if it really is better and not just a different way of going about things, it is worth a try. But this comment gives me no real information, just an opinionated take without pointing to anything specific other than I might need to use apt, which I like. The hardware, software, peripheral comments seem odd or at least about seven years out of date, since I rarely have trouble with any of that and many vendors focus on publishing Debian compatible drivers / software as their only Linux contrib, so they actually get things before other distros in many instances.
Not sure if you are including Manhunter in the blowing chunks category, but consider checking it out. Quality Michael Mann movie.

I find it much easier for the server to drop the check off. A few minutes later they pick it up, then return. Yes, it's three trips to the table, but they are usually refilling drinks, clearing plates, etc. anyway.

And, most importantly, they are doing the work versus me fumbling with their QR code and payment site instead of relaxing and chatting.

What I don't mind though are tabletop POS systems, wherein the swipe and sign is local and straightforward.
Ask the locals, try some sort of ideas?

I'm not sure if you're saying that it can't be improved or what.

It doesn't change my point, this policy easily could swing the other way if it is perceived by voters as just a stick swung at them.
> For someone to willingly give you an IOU, you have to give them something first

Not necessarily, someone can just hand me a dollar for nothing in return.

> While a single dollar may not satisfy you, there is an eventual limit to how much you can meaningfully give

Agreed, that limit is what total supply is.

> It is an observational law... it merely notices the relationship between price as a function of supply and demand

Agreed.

> But you will notice that the law of supply and demand still holds. This idea that supply and demand only applies in a competitive free market is completely unfounded

Yes, it still holds from the perspective of what's actually being traded. But notice it's possible to withhold something from being traded. The stuff withheld is not priced according to the law. However, the price of stuff which is still being traded, still is.

Current fastest supercomputer has a little over 1 exaflop and consumes over 20MW. 20 exaflops at 500kW is a lot less power, but it'd probably still generate a substantial amount of heat.
This UI wrapper looks fantastic! Great job on making the GPT API more accessible. Are there any plans to roll it out as a UI component that can integrate with existing systems, or does it require some backend work too? I see huge potential for clients like GPT4All and Prompta to use pluggable UI components like this, allowing people to keep their data locally.

I believe we might see AI clients evolving into open-source editors like Atom or VS Code, with plugins and packages that can be shared and iterated upon rapidly.

Also, I received the message 'You've gone too deep!' and I'm wondering what the context length limit is. Thanks!

Personally I feel it's fine for them to operate at a loss, it's a public service, akin to the fire department or library. The amount of good it does society to get cars off the road is staggering.

The lack of bus drivers simply comes down to an unwillingness to pay more. It's the exact same problem with teachers, where the wage is extremely low but they would rather just have a shortage rather than paying more.

Bad traffic is bad for industry/business. Boeing threatened to move some manufacturing out of the Seattle because they'd have parts delivery delays due to traffic from Everett to Renton. Eventually I think they moved some to SC, but not a lot because the WSDOT gave in and widened some road infra.

EVs don’t actually use their brakes that much due to regenerative braking being the dominant mode. They are certainly heavier, though, which affects road and tire wear.
