> there really isn't any way to meaningfully increase housing supply

There completely is though, just build more housing. The restrictions are completely arbitrary. Jackson could build a dozen 5-story high apartment complexes to house thousands of people, and it'd be fine.

Yellowstone National Park gets 5 million tourist visitors per year, so if anyone claims the environmental impact of a few hundred or thousand permanent residents would matter, they're mistaken or lying.
Pretending to be subject to a law however in practice never prosecuting opens the door to inconsistent (aka selective) enforcement. How is this not the worst of both worlds?

I’m slowly reaching the same conclusion only with a more cynical bent.

Most programming podcasts are just paid interviews it seems. It’s always the same guest on the same podcasts making the same comments.

Very few hosts ask relevant questions or try to have a dialogue. It always comes across as extremely disingenuous when you can tell they are just sucking up to the person they are interviewing.

The only podcast I consistently listen to is Oxide and Friends, it comes across is genuine even if it’s basically an advertisement for Oxide Computers. Probably more to do with who the hosts are as people.
My only beef with the article was in how in North America, broadband was challenging. We had cable modems back in 1994. I grew up in a single wide trailer with a single mom and even we could afford it. I was downloading from Napster in 1996.

Sure, if you discount the fact that other people exist, are conscious, have their own experiences of the same world and also experience joy, sadness, love, and suffering.

To assert that your perspective is the only thing that matters is to assert that nobody else matters.

The problem with p-zombie argument is that it is completely inconsequential.

It is like if i say there is some property let's call it phi-factor, i am certain i have it, some people have it too, and some do not, but there is absolutely no way for others to tell who has this phi-factor thing and who does not, because it doesn't cause any difference in behavior of people.

This kind of hypothesis doesn't explain anything and does not predict anything, and therefore it is not possible to build any logical chain based on it.

There are good versions of p-zombie argument, e.g. you could say that it is very hard to find difference in behavior of people and p-zombies, but if you create planet like simulation inhabited with p-zombies they will have large differences, e.g. they will never develop art, or science, or religion, or will die out because will not want to have children.

In any case there needs to be some measurable difference in behavior, for argument to be valid. But since this is a normal testable theory, it does not lead to the same kind of self-contradictory statements as p-zombie version, and therefore is not popular with philosophers who want to talk about things they have nothing to say about.

the overall summary is that we're not talking about powdered rhino horn here. traditional 'western' medicine contains a mix of treatments that are ineffective (unicorn horn, usually bleeding), effective but dangerous (calomel, aconite, cocaine), and effective and safe (magnesia, willow bark). the same is true of traditional chinese medicine. the things listed here are all effective, perhaps too effective. i've had nightmares about cordycepin ever since i was a little kid studying organic chemistry

> Incorrect. Where is the money that had beem loaned by central banks and is now needed to keep infrastructur and our society in general afloat? Our f̵i̵s̵c̵a̵l̵ monetary system is a zero sum game in the end. So where did the money go?

Most of that money which the government created comes back to the government via taxes. High taxes keep the loop short. Like I said, after 10 hops, with just 30% tax, $100 ends up being taxed down to $2.80... So say a corporation receives a $1 billion gov contracts, pays their executives and employees, then their employees pay rent to their landlords, then the landlords pay builders for renovations, etc... 10 hops and only $28 million remains of that 1 billion... $972 million is back in the government's hands whence it originated.

It's just a matter of time before that full $1 billion dollars has hopped its way right back into the government's hands via taxes.

In 2023, 10 of 12 months had downward revisions.

In 2022, 7 of 12 months had upward revisions, but the mean revision was slightly down.

In 2021, 11 of 12 months had upward revisions.

Fair point. If such drastic action was ever contemplated it would have to be planned out in advance so that farming could adapt that year to expected shifts.

But there will come a tipping point at which time we'll consider drastic measures that society would not otherwise tolerate. Look at Covid for a recent example.

Enforcement opens the door to selective enforcement. A lack of enforcement precludes it.

Maybe not easy to solve, but not of enough importance/impact that would justify spending an extended amount of time changing the current practice.

My original post got downvoted, but I stand by it because empirically, it seems to be clear: the current practice may not be perfect but has obviously stood the test of time. So let's move on, there's more important things to worry about.
UUIDs are miserable to work with. For 99% of use cases, sequential IDs are fine. Can they be guessed? Sure, but your software should guard against unauthorized access. Security through obscurity or randomness is a poor excuse for using UUIDs as PKs. If you don't want to expose your IDs, use a slug.
How is a monotonically incrementing integer going to reveal churn or traction? You’re not reusing IDs.

Show HN: Search Engine for Funding Programs (Germany and EU)
There are thousands of funding programs in the EU and Germany for private citizens, startups, companies, and clubs, with some even applicable to internationals.

However, there are two major problems with these programs:

1. There is no way to find the right funding program for your needs.
While there are major databases provided by the state government and the EU, there is no decent search function. As a result, you have to spend a lot of time manually searching through the funding programs. Funding experts typically only know a few programs they focus on.

2. Understanding funding programs is difficult.
Funding programs are generally written in thousands of words of legal text. Reading this is no fun.

To address these issues, I scraped thousands of funding programs and used LLMs to create summaries that are easy to understand. I then embedded these summaries to create a search engine with semantic search and filters.

This is my first major project using LLMs, and I hope you like it.
> Google is an ad company so it's totally not obvious to me.

Google being an ad company is irrelevant here. I wasn't clear in my wording, I should have said 'Android as a platform' and not Google, is the only choice, and it is.

Sure, there are disadvantages and it's not perfect, but it doesn't matter. If you care about privacy, using something like Graphene or eOS on a Fairphone is your best option.

The technique works for both fills and strokes, and is used by Vello for both, including for the text rendering. One of the nice things we found is that lowering Euler spirals to arcs works particularly well, and you need many fewer arc segments than line segments to accurately approximate a smooth curve. We haven't plumbed arcs all the way through the rendering pipeline yet, but it's planned; the math for rendering arcs is not that much more complicated than lines.
I am concerned about people not lands or what empire has right to what land. The people wanted freedom and Putin created some false flag operations to start a second war, today those people instead of having their children live in peace are forced to see them fighting for the criminal that killed their parents.

Only imperialists bring historical claims to the discussion, for people in civilized countries is not a good argument that you claim you conquered and genocided some lands sometimes in the past, all the empires have fallen except the Russian one and there will be a time when the opressed people should get their freedom.

So dear comrade if Californians want to fight for their independence from an opressor I will support the people aand not the imperialistic coward old man that would want to genocide them again.

1. So you don’t see it in Aya, why? Because it just doesn’t check, or because there’s a more sophisticated way to fix discrepancies like this in large codebases?

2. I really don’t understand how this error can be confusing. The only times I’ve seen someone be confused by this is because they didn’t actually read the error, but got an unexpected message and immediately gets their senior (me) to read it for them…

That chart is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! Looks like we had a very small upward revision in March and a larger one in January, but the 12-month average has been a downward revision since Jan 2023.

Historically it sure looks like they regularly under estimated jobs and revised upwards. A statistical analysis would be interesting, but just eyeballing the chart it looks like a meaningful difference.

The draft spec for uuid v7 has details about the security considerations : https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-u...

The way I see it is that uuid v7 in itself is great for some use but not for all uses.

You always have to remember that a v7 always carries the id's creation time as metadata with it, whether you want it or not.
And if you let external users get the v7, they can get that metadata.

I'm not a security expert but I know enough to know that you should only give the minimal data to a user.

My only guess is that v7 being so new, attacks aren't widespread for now, and I know why the author decided not to focus on "if UUID is the right format for a key", because the answer is no 99% of the time.
I think the point of moonshots is that most are expected to fail. But the technology that is developed in many cases lives in, just not necessarily in the form of a standalone company.

it's a reasonably difficult problem as you want turing complete computation, but then if you have that you can make state escape the sandbox by blocking/not blocking certain requests and transmit a single bit at a time

Subspace whoosh. Or more seriously, I think OP was going for a corollary to how stories about dragons aren’t false, they are more than true because they teach us the dragon can be slain. The same could be said for magicians - the stories are more than true because they tell us the complexity and arcana can be tamed. (Also note how many of the magic stories warn of unintended, unforeseen consequences resulting from unintended interactions between parts. (Sourcerers apprentice.) This should ring true for anyone in programming.)
Yes, that's entirely the point.

The article is "Here's a thing I don't understand! Let's say how silly it is by comparing it to a thing I do understand."

This is an advice not just for VSCode, but for any editor essentially. If you use a file explorer side panel and you tend to toggle it on and off, set it to appear on the right side. This way it doesn't cause your main code view to jump around when you do it.

One more advice is installing vim mode extension and sticking with it for a few weeks. It takes some getting used to, but it is worth it.
Why not twenty hundred for 2000, just like 1900 is nineteen hundred?

Super wrong. (At tends of quadrillions of dollars wrong this might be the wrongest economic take I have ever seen.)

Total taxes in the U.S. in 2023 were $4.5tn [1]. GDP, a sum of transactions, $29tn [2].

More trivially: the money supply, at $21 quadrillion [3], dwarfs both the federal budget and the Fed’s balance sheet combined, and has almost-monotonously grown over the last century.

You'll always find one-off examples. The link below was shared in a separate thread here, the trend line for the 12-month average of revisions looks pretty noticeably different since Jan 2023. Historically it seems like they pretty regularly estimated low and revised higher, and the 12-month average going back to 1988 was towards revisions upwards (ignoring economic shocks of 2008 and 2020).
