> Shown as a hierarchical bar chart, this would suggest 'b' is problematic.

But it's not necessarily `b` that's problematic:

- it may be `a` because it does a lot of stuff on its own, and depending on what `a` is, it might not be expected

- it could be `d` if it's supposed to be super fast (e.g. a logging method)

- it could be `c` because it takes a long time

- it could be `b` if `c` is external code or if calling `c` from `b` is not appropriate for what `b` does

- it might be nothing because there's nothing to optimize anymore, things just take this long

in fact, `b` is the last method I'd look at here

Same, and then they provide a Go example that… is basically identical? Then they complain about Rust not providing stack information about errors, but at the same time the Go equivalent just does `return nil, err` everywhere, also throwing away stack traces.

They correctly point out that you can wrap errors in Go with `errors.Wrap(...)`. But you can also do exactly the same thing in Rust with something like `std::backtrace`, the `failure`, or the `anyhow` crate.
I’m European, and have been living in the US for a number of years and in Europe before that. It’s like some alternate reality here in the US, where peanuts, bread, and shrimp are out to kill a large part of the population. The article says they estimate 33M people in US to have food allergies which sounds insane to me.

I fully agree on exposure to these allergens when young. Have your child eat wide variety of foods, have them play out in the open and get dirty, have them play with animals, wash hands and keep clean but not to the point of sterility, etc.

One personal anecdote - when I was a few years old I apparently started having a lot of asthma-like coughing symptoms. We got a German shepherd, whom I would then play with, hug a lot, and sleep. My symptoms went away pretty quickly.

Similarly, my parents made sure I eat normal meals and not a ‘child’ diet. Eg I was never allowed to order from a ‘kids menu’. At home, salmon or shrimp for dinner and I don’t want it as a young child? Too bad, that’s dinner, eat that or go hungry (and of course I ended up eating and now love many cuisines and allergic to nothing).

That seems to be sourced from a plain HTML page from 2001, reporting stats limited to the UK through the year 2000[1]. I guess it's not implausible, but it doesn't seem to line up with these more up to date US-based stats[2] where airline deaths are so close to 0 that it's hard to form a meaningful ratio between them and road deaths. If it were truly more dangerous on a per-trip basis, you'd expect the number to at least be a significant fraction.

One filing type they didn't mention, is SES-STA (Satellite Earth Station Special Temporal Authority) -- aka a temporary experimental license for user or gateway equipment. This is where the juice is, i.e. if they're testing out new models that haven't been announced yet, and if you're lucky includes some technical specs.

But they're hard to filter through because they file so many for uninteresting things too.

Then irony is that typescript (well, Javascript) has full memory safety. The changes of segfaults only increased when he switched to rust.
Could be summarized as "Software has major quality problems, and EVs need a lot of it".
There are some good arguments against that. It creates a deadweight loss by banning high utility private uses of the car (driving kid to hospital) and instead there would be an increase in low utility "work" uses of the car (delivering a single banana to a bodega). There is a parent out there who would be willing to pay $X to drive their kid to hospital, and a work vehicle user who would forgo paying $X by staying off the road, but under a blanket ban that won't happen.

It would also increase the incentive for people to play games like claiming their personal car as a "work vehicle", throwing a little advertising decal on the side, things like that.
When using open source tools, I love having a change log with direct links to merge requests and issues, and potentially across several repositories. It makes the process of reviewing and searching for changes so much easier than pulling the log.

It's also great to ship that changelog with the artifacts so they are readable on third-parties (Helm Charts on Artifacthub, GitLab and GitHub releases, ...).
I could not agree more. Fentanyl enforcement is obviously not feasible to anyone that has been, or known, an addict. Its incredibly cheap to buy, and you can store enough to kill 1000 people in a bag in your pocket.

> I mean, take a look at a city like Tokyo. How many people drive there? Almost everyone takes public transit, putting NYC to shame.

I was curious so I looked this up.

Tokyo transit ridership is 3.46B / year

Tokyo population is ~39M (Urban figure on Wikipedia)

NYC transit ridership is 1.81B / year

NYC population is ~19.5M (Urban figure on Wikipedia)

In terms of ridership / population, NYC is actually higher (93.17 vs. 88.47)

If this approach is shown to be healthy, I’m sure it could be done much faster.
100%. My fear is that the backlash spreads the way the hype did (about rust being best for everything) did, and suddenly rust is the choice for nothing. My experiences are very positive, but I work mostly in the narrow-ish cases that Rust is designed for, in C, C++, systems areas.

> Congress has been writing laws for the past 4 decades assuming that the agencies can iron out the ambiguities

My understanding is that the big problem is that this expectation is implicit.

Congress isn't granting agencies the authority to make determinations as to what falls into a category, for instance. Instead, they're creating a category without further elaboration.

Compare that to 18 USC 921(a)(4)(C), which says in part:

The term “destructive device” shall not include any device which is neither designed nor redesigned for use as a weapon; any device, although originally designed for use as a weapon, which is redesigned for use as a signaling, pyrotechnic, line throwing, safety, or similar device; surplus ordnance sold, loaned, or given by the Secretary of the Army pursuant to the provisions of section 7684(2), 7685, or 7686 of title 10; or any other device which the Attorney General finds is not likely to be used as a weapon, is an antique, or is a rifle which the owner intends to use solely for sporting, recreational or cultural purposes.

This explicitly established a process through which the Attorney General may exclude weapons from the "destructive device" category at their discretion.

My understanding is that this would not be impacted by overturning Chevron, as the process was established by Congress explicitly. Hypothetically, if that provision did not exist and the AG unilaterally decided that a weapon that was otherwise included in the category should not be, then that would be an example of executive rulemaking within the bounds of Chevron.

I think the Commodore PET used discrete TTL as well. This is first generation stuff for home computers, the costs are so high that manufacturers were highly incentivized to make graphics chips as soon as the technology was viable, right around 1979 or 1980. Anything made from then on is going to have a dedicated graphics chip of some kind just for the cost savings.
I wonder scientifically what goes into "recommendation" nowadays, amid all the bickering and turmoil, and i no longer feel I know, and i believe personally in vaccines, but not in profiteering, which never seemed a discussed concern till the last few years.

If we're talking about driving (and parking) your own car, then for all intents and purposes, no, it doesn't matter. If you spend $800/month on 2 reserved parking spots, on top of insane car insurance, you might be able to shave 5 mins off a few trips within Manhattan compared with taking the metro, but normal people don't use personal cars in Manhattan unless they're moving heavy cargo or driving out of the city.

It is already possible to combine multiple vaccines into a single shot. This approach is used for other diseases, such as the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine.

In the hypothetical case you're describing, I would expect that consolidation of vaccine administration would happen before we reach a point where you need to get half a dozen separate jabs at your annual well visit.
I'm American and I've lived in Zurich for many years and visited Munich quite a bit.

Hands down: Zurich.

Negatives: Don't expect to make friends, so try to find other expats. And you'll always be a second-class citizen if you're not Swiss (with the right name), learn to live with it. Rains a lot.

Positives: Everything else. Clean, safe, perfect hiking and skiing (and even swimming in summer), the public transportation couldn't be better, etc.

SpaceX has literally the lowest incident rate of any space launch company in existence (though it is dramatically higher than for any airplanes). You're confusing public test launches with incidents on commercial (let alone crewed) flights. And no, the astronauts cannot return from the ISS. The article hits on all the recent findings,

---

Just a few days ago, on Tuesday, officials from NASA and Boeing set a return date to Earth for June 26. But that was before a series of meetings on Thursday and Friday during which mission managers were to review findings about two significant issues with the Starliner spacecraft: five separate leaks in the helium system that pressurizes Starliner's propulsion system and the failure of five of the vehicle's 28 reaction-control system thrusters as Starliner approached the station.

The NASA update did not provide any information about deliberations during these meetings, but it is clear that the agency's leaders were not able to get comfortable with all contingencies that Wilmore and Williams might encounter during a return flight to Earth, including safely undocking from the space station, maneuvering away, performing a de-orbit burn, separating the crew capsule from the service module, and then flying through the planet's atmosphere before landing under parachutes in a New Mexico desert.

---

NASA is understating everything because this flight should never have been greenlit in the first place. It's Challenger all over again. Nobody has died and for that we should be thankful, but NASA is behaving in a way that will result in deaths if they don't fix whatever is going on over there. It's like the most safety conscious culture from the outside, and then they just greenlight flights that are leaking like a sieve in every test, failing to properly deploy parachutes, and more. But Boeing always gets the 'special' treatment from the government.
Congress can still delegate certain powers even after this.
Any physicists in here that could layout a path of going from rudimentary first year level physics knowledge to being able to understand on a deeper level topics such as gravitational waves?

These articles are interesting but are very abstract when you do not have knowledge from first principles.
So Congress is dysfunctional. The Supreme Court is semi-functional, but functioning in a way that you don't like. So you want Congress to vote in a bunch of new people to fix the Supreme Court. Why do you think that will work, instead of be ruined by the usual Congressional dysfunction?

And, if the party in power adds enough Supreme Court justices to routinely overturn the current 9, what makes you think that when the other side is in power, they won't add enough to overturn your 12?

The Supreme Court is not supposed to bend with the wind of every political election. It's by design.
Congress isn't being granted more power here. They're being granted more (their original) responsibility.
This is one of the reasons we built type-safe feature flags at Hypertune. When a developer deprecates a flag, they get type errors everywhere it's still used. This fails the build so they're forced to remove all the flag references, and they get a nice IDE / compiler driven workflow to do that. Otherwise it's easy to leave flag usages around.

You have an absurd number of requirements for building a new apartment.

It's starting to be reformed, but for years in LA you needed to build a parking space for each apartment.

https://laist.com/news/housing-homelessness/los-angeles-park...

Most new apartments have these really ugly parking lots attached. It doesn't take a genius to say without the parking lots housing would be cheaper.

Koreatown , and much of Downtown LA has older housing stock that's effectively grandfathered in.

A long long time ago you could get an apartment for less that 600$. That's what ( if we inflation adjust it, I guess 900$ is reasonable) working class people can afford. In reality this tiny apartments are now around 1500$ or so

Compare this to Chicago where you can get a 2Bdrm for 1400$. Split that with a roommate and you can make it on minimum wage. Plus you don't need a car, so you can ride public transportation for next to nothing.

It's even cheaper if you qualify ( seniors, Medicare recipients).

Hi,

While we call LLMs(internal and external, based on instruction type), the output generated by LLMs can't be taken as ground truths unless we do rigorous evaluations. We have our own metrics when it comes to what could be called a ground truth, based on the user's seed information and business logic.
Accuracy & preciseness needs also differ from use-case to use case. Function calling adds in another layer.

Another value add is type of instructions that we can generate. We expose 7 currently, and are working on exposing more instruction types. The challenge is to create ground truth of wide variety of cases that a given user can ask for a business including guardrailing.

We have built internal tools and agents to solve for those, and are internally discussing the ideal way to expose it to users, and whether it would be beneficial for the community. Any thoughts on that would be appreciated.

Automation took a significant amount of time for us as well, so at scale, even a reliable automated CI/CD pipeline is indeed a value add in itself.

Lmk if I can add more details to answer the question.

Nit: the assets were frozen, not seized. There was recently hand wringing in the EU over using the principle or interest to fund Ukraine, and they settled on interest because seizing assets scares any foreign investors who might someday disagree with a government.

Isnt this just reiterating the idea the all the car owners are too stupid to properly assess that tradeoff?

That is what the top level post was objecting too. If the theory relies on everyone being consistently wrong, then perhaps it isnt properly accounting to the benefits of cars and inconvenience of public transportation as it exists today.

I dont think anyone is challenging the idea that cars are expensive, or people would prefer something else, provided it is actually better.
