I appreciate each city's "yes, but" section that summarizes some of the future challenges in each city. Having competent governance over longer periods of time and in the face of constant pushback is a more difficult problem than just getting the initial changes.
it is not good policy to reward people who break the law to the detriment of people who abide by the law. if tax fraud occurred less, it would give us latitude to lower taxes which would give the broad based economic improvement you are discussing.

I think it's more, 3-phase+N can be converted to 1-phase whenever needed with simple wiring. So even in France, you might have 3+N coming to the breaker panel, and then 1-phase from there on.
I understood that cities just like free property tax (no cost of maintaining infrastructure) by making hoa zones
Agreed, mentioning the login name of the compromised account seems really unprofessional and unnecessary.
Opiates tend to make people very sedentary. Also, once you get into the habit of exercising you will not want to stop. In terms of mood, there will be days where your workout will be the highlight of your day.

They usually do have a good "hook" that is recognizable. AI music I have seen is very bad at creating those hooks.

A lot of the rest of the process is actually pretty easy to do without AI for competent arrangers and producers.

This is what I did as well. I’m located in Bakersfield in the California central valley, and the local market is abysmal compared to what you would find from a one-hour drive south to Santa Clarita, or up to SFV.

Remote may bring down wages for workers located in HCOL, but it’s been great for me as I don’t have the ability to relocate.
Will look up Bret Victor --- thanks!

Unfortunately, while I like emacs-style keyboard bindings in Mac OS X, I prefer to use a stylus and often write things out by hand and use handwriting recognition to convert to text (hence my interest in visual programming languages) --- very much envied a co-worker (who was one of two folks I've met aside from TeX conferences who had read TAoCP) who just started it up at the beginning of the day and got all his work done in it during the course of the day.
If I wanted to cede control to unelected CEOs and unaccountable corporations I'd go around telling people not to exercise the power they have to influence politics too, because I'd know damn well that powerful corporations and industry groups aren't going to "stop engaging in the political process". They'll stay very busy spending huge amounts of time and money bribing politicians, writing legislation for them, and manipulating the public's perception to further their own interests and profits at the expense of everyone else. How frustrating it must be when the serfs interfere by exercising their rights to self-govern when they should just let their corporate masters run the show instead of insisting on a government that is "of the people, by the people, and for the people"
this analysi simply ignores the upside. you say that both miles driven and human time wasted are metrics we dont want to increase, but people are clearly willing to trade them off. You say people should live near work, but at what cost?

In practice, they are public funds so it ends up being a public decision. Do people support spending $X so that Y people can obtain Z preference.

I'm off to my 1 hr commute right now, which I chose because it is preferable to my housing options near work. You couln't pay me enough to live in a condo downtown. I wish transportation infrastructure was even better so that I could live further and this is where I would like my taxes directed.
Huh. Tolkien was very specific about Tom's wardrobe, and the photo doesn't match that at all.

Of course you'd expect Tom to change his clothes at least once in 3,000+ years. But I'd have envisioned Tom to be utterly unchanging -- he is the spirit of the forest primeval.

I also always envisioned him as beardless, though I don't think that's justified in the text. If he's "oldest" he'd probably have a very long beard if he had one at all, but his behavior is youthful and I envisioned his appearance to match.

Regardless, I hope they get their feet under them in season 2. I've heard almost exclusively bad things -- some of which sound merited, others not. So I wasn't rushing out to watch it, though I'd love to have a great new thing available.
Default federal income tax withholding on bonuses is 22%. If your marginal federal tax rate is higher than that, then you underwithheld, meaning you owe more in taxes than you paid over the year.

For your home sale, the person responsible for closing the transaction files Form 1099-S with the IRS, reporting the sale amount (which they're responsible for) but not how much you paid for it (because you're responsible for that). You should have gotten a copy of the 1099-S, which was your clue that you needed to report it on your return.

@richardartoul > Yesterday there were significant "commercial changes" to the OSS project Benthos, so today we're announcing Bento, the 100% MIT licensed fork of the project formerly known as Benthos.

@emaxerrno > it's sad to see you leave when you can already host 99.1% of them on your site. You just have to call it Redpanda Connect. Additionally, I am not sure about the content copyrights of the docs. I'd double check. My proposal would be to have this work for multiple vendors. /2

@emaxerrno > There is plenty of money to be made in streaming, lots of exciting tech. If you decide to change your mind, we'll be here.

@emaxerrno > last the emphasis on "really hard not to fork" is hard to believe when you never reached out. again, happy to have multiple ppl charge and embed this in their own product for the apache 2 license connectors which is 223/225, just gotta be called Redpanda Connect.

Except for the implicit accusation in the first sentence of the last tweet, I completely don’t get what’s being said here. Maybe that’s fair given how little I know about the history here, it’s just been quite some time since I was so baffled by a piece of (supposedly conversational) English.

Hey it's Ash (the maintainer being talked about in the blog). I'm not one for fork drama and I haven't had a chance to fully read the blog so I don't have a lot to say. However, this is a full fork of the entire codebase, which means plugin authors will need to choose one project or the other and are locked in, and is entirely unnecessary on both a technical and legal perspective.

If they'd instead chose to fork the plugins themselves (the only parts where the licenses changed, all except two are Apache V2) then all users can pick and choose which ones they include in their projects, and it doesn't fragment the ecosystem at all. Your plugins would compile in my project, and mine would compile in yours.

The part they're choosing to fork here, which will cause this rift in the community, is still MIT licensed: https://github.com/redpanda-data/benthos. If they simply chose to continue using this MIT part we can all live happily together in a utopian society fully saturated with plugged blobbery.

I flashed my Radeon 9550 into a Radeon 9600 Pro. Bumping the core/memory clocks from 250/200 to 400/300 was a pretty decent upgrade, and there was still some overhead for overclocking (IIRC, I got it up to about 450MHz on the core).
I'm baffled. Which part of my comment triggered you so? You come across as ballistic here. Can't you just "don't mind" my comment? I specifically asked for this, signaling that I don't feel too well right now...
Zoning laws are a combination of unelected civil servants, elected legislators, and the legal system establishing a minimum set of guardrails to prevent shit like building strip clubs and toxic waste incinerators in inappropriate places. They're far from foolproof, are frequently gimmicked to the benefit of wealthy political donors, and they're not something the public gets any kind of real say in. There's no relationship between zoning laws and HOA covenants around what color your mailbox can be or how many cars you can have in your driveway (for example). Some kind of minimal social contract is provably necessary to prevent society from devolving into some kind of libertarian Mad Max you-keep-what-you-kill hellscape, but that hardly requires granting the people around me authority to make arbitrary decisions around trivial aspects of how I choose to maintain my property.

I tend to get variations on cryptocurrency block explorer websites mostly.

It's annoying when I want to search for a btih or something exact.
Ha. Thanks for the audible laugh.

You just made a bunch of claims without even citing what you claim I apparently lied about. Please cite where exactly I supposedly lied - and where the person I was replying to pointed out.

And what character attacks are you even talking about, who did I allegedly character attack - please cite my words for that too?

Since you commented on me, I'll comment on your reply that you seem to be very reactive - and I don't think you even understand the contents of what I wrote.

I also wonder if you're somehow biased in regards to why you have such a strong reaction?

If you're a "serious person" that you claim I'm not, you'll actually respond to each of my points to engage in an adult conversation - which will also show you're able to be calm enough to not be reactive such that you rush through to make claims without even referencing/citing specifics to support your claims.
> Cameras replaced only a very specific kind of painting, one that some people still do as a hobby (realism).

That was by far the most common way for artists to provide for themselves though, cameras did take their jobs.

Similarly, text to image only solves a very specific part of art, art where you aren't very creative but instead draw an image based on a description. Artistry based on coming up with new things to draw will still be there. Sure most jobs artists do today are based on drawing based on descriptions, so its the same situation as with the cameras.

Is there actually an effective way to handle queries with RAG where time periods are relevant? I made a proof-of-concept RAG for documents on a government website shortly after GPT-3.5 came out and remember this being a big problem. The most glaring wrong answer was "Who is currently the governor?" It answered with the previous governor, likely because he was listed as such in 8 years of documents versus the 2 years at the time for the current governor.

I'm not saying it's a bad service. I'm saying for $30 some audit and legal representation is cheap insurance. The IRS can audit anyone they want. My finances are not exceedingly complicated, nor am I a high earner. It's an extremely low risk but still can happen.
While there's of course risk in SaaS-hosted anything, it's not true that Google is only an "ads company" - they take gsuite/GCP deadly seriously and these products aren't going away.

> We believe, any entity having access to so much personal information is a great risk to world peace, freedom and democracy.

I often seen privacy advocates make sweeping statements like this, but I have a hard time understanding their concerns because I haven't really gotten an answer as to how they see it happening.

EDIT: Also to be clear, I think it is completely valid to object to data collection on moral / ethical grounds alone. And the fact that even if you merely send an email to a gmail account means your data will be tracked is a violation of that choice. However I think claims that this is in turn a great threat to democracy are often used as a kugel to convince other people that they are wrong for not sharing those moral / ethical objections.
The case against gmail is very simple for me:

- I need to own the domain name to make sure mail is sent to my property.

- Gmail for is a paid service for custome domain names.

- Why would I pay for an advertising service?
> If any of the 4 contradict each other

If you were able to answer this definitively, then you wouldn't need the 4 intermediate models.
Been paying for Migadu for a few years now. No complaints, love it.
Yes!

You can add lanes, and more people can attain the life that they wish to lead.

You're not back where you started, because more people get to do what they want to do.

It seems as if you have the intrinsic axiom that people should travel less and the fact that they are not doing this is somehow wrong. Your model is wrong.
It's also possible that the firm is being trolled by the "threat actor."
Yeah, I never understood the idea of paying someone to tell you what to do. My family members only buy homes outside of HOAs.
> “Such suits of armor were recorded in palace archives—in the equipment lists of those complete or needing repair. This indicates they were supplied at the expense of palatial centers,” says Flouris. They were bloody expensive and thus financed, maintained, stored, and issued during emergencies by the state. Mycenaean palatial centers disappeared around 1200 BCE, and the supplies of Dendra-type armor disappeared with them.

So... it sounds like the armor was kind of ceremonial in a way. Even if it was functional it didn't sound very practical - it only existed as a projection of force and wealth in defensive situations.
The problem is that you are blaming the IRS for something that your employer messed up during the year.

The IRS doesn't know about your income until the end of the year, when it gets reported to them by your employer.

I don't think naming things that apply to USA also, is quite the win you think it is.
Your suggestion that we don't / shouldn't care about anything other than ourselves is more than a little insulting, whether you intended that or not.

In any case, like the root of this comment tree says, the best way to make sure this program lives to reach us is to make sure it paces itself. If that means another year or two of TurboTax, that's A-OK!
To be fair, this is 99% of users' experience with Gmail. Just email.
Step 1: IMMEDIATELY disable the URL-fetcher's ability to fetch from your university's website(s). Any content on your system that you already scraped from your university's website, purge that too and keep no copies. It sounds like that's what they're mad about.

Get your legal advisor to tell them that you have done so (all communication seriously needs to go through your legal rep). It will probably give you some breathing room.
It absolutely doesn't need a fork. The entire project is designed specifically to allow vendors and users to have their own ecosystem of plugins and they can all compile and integrate seamlessly. I'll be explaining live in 30 mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8nVdUuWZ80

I'd always used my own domain so I could switch providers without hassle, but then... I transitioned my gender, and changed my primary domain as part of that.

The thing that worked for me was making a big spreadsheet, working through it, and adding a label to messages still going to my old domain to catch stragglers.

Hopefully the last time I'll ever have to do this.
Applying Machine Learning in Numerical Weather and Climate Modeling Systems
I choose to use software to make it easy. I don't feel like it's being forced since I could use paper if I wanted to. Indo understand that the tax prep lobby generally doesn't want simpler taxes or simpler filing, but it still feels way less coercive than many other areas of legal life.
It did seem very cringe worthy
A "hook" is a pretty pure example of musicianship, because it has to be "hooky".

Gregory Bateson said that "information is the difference that makes a difference".

For a musician as for music fans, hooks are like this: a thing will stop being hooky when everyone uses it.

It just becomes part of music language. Indeed you could argue that many of the fundamental qualities of popular music are hooky qualities pushed down a layer or two.

Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is an example of this. It's full of very obvious, well-understood musical tricks -- syncopation, breakdowns, subtle pacing changes.

But it's also full of maddeningly effective hooks that are incredibly, even deviously well-crafted. People write songs like this to feel proud of writing songs that get into everyone's heads, but also because it gets into their heads.

Since generative tools don't know how to focus on craft -- or even of its existence -- a good hook is something a generative algorithm will always struggle with, because it requires innovation, and because it is a complex, fragile element in itself.

The rest of it, as you say... it's likely quicker for an experienced musician to just do the work rather than keep poking a generative tool until it is right.

I bet you all of this holds true -- innovation, craft -- even to some extent in quite banal legal filings.
I think that engineers would had better opinion of management techniques if those actually worked and if tech actually had more then a few good managers.The problem is that all too many management techniques are effectively cargo cult and all too many managers have low social skills.

A very good example of a ad social skill is to use provocative sentences and then wonder why people react to your provocation.
It seems insane that cutting up a ship costs more than mining and refining the steel in the first place.

For anyone who still doesn't understand why more and more folks are pointing out that LLMs "hallucinate" 100% of the time, let me put it to you this way: what is the LLM doing differently when it generates tokens that are "wrong" compared to when the tokens are "right"? If there is a difference, where does that exist? In the mechanism of the LLM, or in your mind?

Bonus question 1: Why do humans produce speech? Is it a representation of text? Why then do humans produce text? Is there an intent to communicate, or merely to construct a "correct" symbolic representation?

Bonus question 2: It's been said that every possible phrase is encoded in the constant pi. Do we think pi has intelligence? Intent?
I love this - I was looking for something exactly like it yesterday and you've built it. Specifically, I was looking to factor in shading to work out the likely amount of solar panels I'd need for both electricity and solar hot water across the seasons. Nice - great work!
I'm not involved in this, either as a developer or as a user.

But if I used a project, and that project's new owner hostilely relicensed parts of it, I'd assume that other parts are likely to go down the same path. I can understand why someone would want to make sure code developed under the previous social contract remains accessible and updated under the same terms.
Look, it's quite simple: if you want to host your own email, it's entirely feasible.

Not, 'anyone with an RasPi can do it', but definitely 'you can find someone who will host you.'

And yes, the 'powers that be' definitely conspire against this scenario, as they do with federated social media, etc. etc., but that's not a reason to give up!
Losing my gmail would be crippling. I feel existential dread even considering it.
Despite frequent claims over the decade that tax cuts for the rich were morally reprehensible, the Democrats did not allow the tax cuts to automatically expire, extending them for two years in the lame duck session of Congress, and then most were made permanent two years later before they should have expired again.

Isn't that the opposite of "undoing legislation"?
Micromanagement and knowing what people do are two different things.
I love the idea, but sadly it's not very precise in our case. There are even buildings on the property that - as far as I know - never existed in that place.
Thanks very much for linking that. This makes me think that legal support is actually one of the worst possible uses of LLM-based AI (at least as implemented here), primarily because so much of the source material is directly contradictory, e.g. a legislature passes a law which is subsequently overturned by the courts, or decisions in lower courts are reversed by higher courts, or higher courts reverse themselves over time. It feels like you'd absolutely have to annotate all the source material in some way to say whether it was still controlling law/precedent.
As much as the "Wayland is now ready since it's the default on big distros" meme goes, it's not really ready if you're having issues with it.

Ready means if everything is flawless to MacOS/Windows levels, where you never have to think about display server compatibility, and that's where X11 is still king despite the performance shortcomings. At least it always just works™ and compatibility beats performance most of the days.
