The issue in Houston has nothing to do with ERCOT.

It has more to do with Centerpoint, who is the electricity provider for the city and responsible for maintaining lines. The power is there, but it can't reach homes due to the number of trees that fell on lines due to Hurricane Beryl's wind.

You are forgetting the most important cryptocurrency rule: all this works as long as it's all on-chain and real world is not involved.

No amount of smart contracts or bitcoin magic can prevent me from taking someone's work (say by web scraping), stripping all attribution of original author, putting it on my server, charging people for it, and pocketing all the money.
Using AI effectively requires having the subject knowledge to tell it where it's wrong, or if it has missed a critical part of the problem. My workflow involves making dozens of these corrections before I arrive at a workable answer. So how is a new student supposed to have the knowledge required to navigate this mess?
Scandinavian societies in general are completely atomized, even more so than the US. Youngest people in the world to leave the parents home, highest rate of single person households, very few inter-generational households. Basically the same economic logic you have everywhere taken to its conclusion. As Gibson said the future's already here, just not evenly distributed. Grandparents-as-a-service is coming to the market near you.
I don’t buy it. You can’t say entropy is probability and then say but we don’t know what probability really is. It’s both foundational to physics and computer science. I could say probability is really just entropy just as easily. I would go farther and say that time is entropy as we measure time by observing entropy.

I do not believe this is correct. If your business is a "pass through" style of entity, you can indeed deduct losses from other income (up to a point and with various limitations.) Doing too much of this can definitely trigger an audit.

Yeah, because when it teaches you something you don't know you don't realize how many oversights it makes.
From the Guardian article: "the bill will prohibit school policies that require parents to be alerted if their child wishes to change pronouns or identifies as transgender."

Some school districts had implemented policies that forced teachers to out students to parents even when they know that would be problem. This law prevents that but still allows them to notify parents.
It’s a shortcut that deprives the network owner of agency. As the person running the network, should you not have some degree of control over who gets to join your network, be it fully open, fully closed, or anywhere in between?

UI framework, just makes your life suffer
I'm a front end developer, did a lot of develop works, so I used many UI frameworks.

MUI/ant design/microsoft fluent ui/bootstrap ...

I found the truth, all UI framework just makes your life suffer.

The orignal idea I choose a UI framework is simple: this framwork has plenty of components, and it looks beautiful.

And after you do all the job, the headache begins:

* override some components' default style, maybe waste you a whole day.

* some required functionality is not same as the components' desgin, needs to modify the source code.

* multiple components compose together maybe cause style/function errors.

* Need some config not opened.

And you solve all the stuff, the experiences is zero value, because you can not use this UI framework all the time.

Now, most of time, I do not use any UI framework, develop all the stuff by tailwind, all the world is peaceful.
You'll absolutely love this one then:

Anything Apple garners attention.

If anything it may drive engagement… many people will find AllTrails or Strava after hitting whatever arbitrary limits Apple places on the feature, as well as the normal Apple pattern of neglect.

Even marquee apps like fitness are very limited — Apple doesn’t provide great tools for runners, for example. Garmin does, and seems to be doing ok.
Alas as many have said elsewhere, it is a side effect of the economics systems around us that have caused this to occur.
Though I agree with the idea that MLPs are theoretically more "capable" than transformers, I think seeing them just as a parameter reduction technique is also excessively reductive.

Many have tried to build deep and large MLPs for a long time, but at some point adding more parameters wouldn't increase models' performance.

In contrast, transformers became so popular because their modelling power just kept scaling with more and more data and more and more parameters. It seems like the 'restriction' imposed on transformaters (the attention structure) is a verg good functional form for modelling language (and, more and more, some tasks in vision and audio).

They did not become popular because they were modest with respect to the parameters used.
According to the World Bank, 2022 fertility rates were:

Pretty hard IMO to say much about the relative effect these policies are having at all, especially if you throw in other countries like Norway (1.4) and Finland (1.3).

> What I'm trying to tell you is that it's not easy for everyone.

I think that's undeniably correct.

> There is no amount of patience that I could apply to this pursuit that would yield success.

I think that, however, is very likely incorrect. IMO, you need to develop patience with not understanding, and continuing anyway. Just read the play, see what you pick up, then read it again. Treat it like poetry and don't worry too much about understanding every word; see if you can get the feel. I found that Milton's Paradise Lost took me 3 or 4 false starts over a decade before I managed to get into the flow enough to read the whole thing. There's still probably a lot I missed, but it was thoroughly enjoyable.

Sometimes it's handy have a study guide, though, especially to understand some of the wordplay:

Hamlet[To Ophelia] > Lady, shall I lie in your lap?

Ophelia > No, my lord!

Hamlet > I mean, my head upon your lap.

Ophelia > Ay, my lord.

Hamlet > Do you think I meant country matters?

I read this in high school and was thinking... what the hell are "country matters"? The footnote in the study guide quite succinctly pointed out:

> The emphasis is on the first syllable

Needless to say this became an highly used in-joke amongst my friends.

So much of the birth rate discussion is values driven, rather than actual concern about the birth rate.

Business expenses must be ordinary and necessary to be deductible. A roofer would have a hard time justifying deducting a boat under the rule but a commercial fisherman wouldn’t have trouble.

Entertainment expenses are no longer deductible with recent tax law changes with few exceptions. It would be difficult today to get a CPA to sign-off off on a lot of what may have passed previously.

It’s certainly also a cultural phenomenon. Most young people in their teens and twenties in the West do not want to start a family at a young age, and not only for economic reasons. It’s a priority to enjoy a lifestyle that’s not compatible with raising children or a marital commitment.
No, probability is a mathematical game with axioms and theorems.

Why the rules of this game happens to describe systems where we have imperfect knowledge... nobody knows.

Another thing is all of these systems have probability travel in a single direction. Things with high probability are more likely to happen. If time were to go backwards, low probability events will start to spontaneously occur.
Really important similarity to cops is that car sales people try really hard to control the physical space you are in. Can be simple, like, offering coffee, through shady, like taking your license on some pretext, to games like "wait here while I get the manager". The point is to lock you in a space and control the pacing and narrative.

This is why if you detect any nonsense like this, you should always remember that at any time in a car buying transaction, you can just walk.

I learned about JD Vance's existence yesterday (not really into politics) so i'm not going to defend whatever he said or didn't, but nobody in their right mind would set a country population size of Chicago (pretty much all of those above) as a demographic example to US-scale problems, if that's what is being referred to here. Perhaps something was mentioned along the lines of "at least those countries have kids subsidies which are more meaningful to the local COL than whatever measly tax allowances we have here in the US" - that would actually be accurate - but whatever. In reality, not one of the mentioned countries managed to turn anything around yet, all are stuck well below replacement, mostly with pretty bleak trends.
I say this as the maker of 3rd party add-ons to an existing platform;

Add-on makers should have no expectation that the value they have captured will not be captured by the platform at some point.

Yes, platforms add features. Yes those features may be domething previously supplied by a 3rd party. There is no way, to stop this, and stopping this would be very bad.

The platform might be an OS, a browser, some web site, a programming language, whatever. It doesn't matter. They are growing and their growth will overlap you at some point.

Should we not have Developer Tools in the browser because Firebug? Or Search on a Mac because Watson? Or Windows on DOS because of earlier windowing systems?

I get the angst of a developer when some revenue-generator becomes obsolete, but writing something doesn't mean you "own" a feature for ever - that's not how it works, nor should it.

Building on another's platform has risks. This is one of them.

but you dont seem to care if house and contents insurance doesn't insure people whose house is currently burning.

The problem with medical insurance is that it's a flawed system in the US. Everybody gets sick, it's a near 100% chance guarantee, esp. as you age.

Therefore, medical "insurance" should not be insurance, but should be a fund. It should be paid into by all taxpayers at some rate proportional to their income (like VAT), and then the fund goes to fund _all_ non-elective medical procedures.

Insurance for medical should be for _premium_ facilities, like private rooms, private nurses etc. Not for the treatment.
> B: apparently |0>, but elsewhere you refer to it being unconstrained.

This is probably due to my wording not really being a parallel construction. The unconstrained qubit was A; in my example, B is the qubit that's in the ground state.

Sorry for the confusion! A sibling commenter elaborated on my parenthetical, which is really just a constraint on what values can be used for the probability amplitudes a and b. (I kind of hate the term "probability amplitude", but that's the standard nomenclature.)

There are two main observations from a and b being complex numbers:

1. You can turn these amplitudes into classical probabilities for getting a particular outcome out of measuring A by squaring their magnitudes. So if you had a = 3/5 and b = -4/5 i, then you'd have (3/5)^2 = 36% chance of observing |0> and |-4/5 i|^2 = 64% chance of observing |1>.

2. What's perhaps the most important bit about quantum computing is the relative phase between these eigenstates, and the ability to achieve just the right interference pattern such that everything cancels out except for certain peaks that can give you something interesting. This is what differentiates QM from classical probability theory, and why we can't just take the existing quantum algorithms and reimplement them in classical computers.
That’s too bad. What website does have non political discussions about political events?
Developers do a lot of unoptimal things for unoptimal reasons. Ultimately what's "right" or "wrong" is a case by case basis. So I don't see much point in venting against those developers without knowing their circumstance.

I mostly ask who's defending it for holistic purposes. Right or wrong, It would be nice to hear other perspectives on the matter if possible.
Pronatalist policies slow fertility rate declines, but do not stop them, and are extremely expensive for the small benefit that results. It is almost impossible to stop birth rate declines when women are empowered, have personal agency and autonomy, and there is robust access to contraceptives.

> “Once a woman receives enough information and autonomy to make an informed and self-directed choice about when to have children, and how many to have, she immediately has fewer of them, and has them later.”

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/545397/empty-planet...

> Our findings suggest that continued trends in female educational attainment and access to contraception will hasten declines in fertility and slow population growth. A sustained TFR lower than the replacement level in many countries, including China and India, would have economic, social, environmental, and geopolitical consequences. Policy options to adapt to continued low fertility, while sustaining and enhancing female reproductive health, will be crucial in the years to come.

> South Korea spent more than $200 billion subsidizing child care and parental leave over the past 16 years, President Yoon Suk Yeol said last fall. Yet the fertility rate fell from 1.1 in 2006 to 0.81 in 2021.

> The amount of money required to trigger even these small effects is enormous. In "The Economic Consequences of Family Policies," published in the Journal of Economic Perspectives in 2017, researchers found "one extra percentage point of GDP spending" on early childhood education and child care programs was "associated with 0.2 extra children per woman." In the U.S., where the 2022 GDP was $25.46 trillion, that would mean spending more than $250 billion.*

(TLDR There is no political nor societal will to reconfigure economic systems and workplaces, nor incur the economic drag through spending on benefits programs, that would be required to stop the fertility rate decline)
On the use of the command line by the "technically unwashed", another presumptuous label by an HN commenter

1. Before the GUI existed

http://www.snobol5.com/s4_history_1981.pdf

"We deliberately tried to produce a language that would be suitable for the person who was not primarily a programmer."

https://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/univOfCalBerkeley/Cal_SNOBOL4_...

"This presentation of Snobol4 is particularly designed for members of the University of California community who have no previous knowledge of computers or computer programming."^FN1

https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/icon/docs/humanit.htm

SNOBOL and Icon were used by "technically unwashed" students in the humanities and other liberal arts majors.

At least two books were published on such usage:

3. Personal experience: eyewitness accounts

I saw "technically unwashed" high school students use the command line on a TRS-80 owned by a maths teacher; the teacher required the students to use the computer

I saw "technically unwashed" university students in a political science course use the UNIX command line on a VAX

Even after GUIs had become common, in the mid 1990s, I saw a university issue UNIX accounts to all students, including the "technically unwashed"

A common theme was that in each case the "technically unwashed" were required to use the command line. It was not optional.

In each case, they had no trouble using it.

FN1. The SNOBOL implementation at UCB was written by Charles Simonyi who later worked for Xerox PARC and went on to introduce Bill Gates to the GUI, OOP, Hungarian notation and create predecessors for Word and Excel for Microsoft.

The original SNOBOL interpreter was the first to use associative arrays, pre-dating AWK. The idea came from McIlroy.

It influenced and inspired many techniques used in programming projects today, e.g.,

https://www.lua.org

https://snowballstem.org

The later is, e.g., used in PostgreSQL full-text search.

I still use the Dewar SPITBOL interpreter today.

You don’t have to wait that long for this to become an issue. If your parents started having kids at 25, and you start at 25 (late by historical standards but almost early by modern), they’re at least 50, probably even pushing 60 if it’s not the first of the first. Watching very young kids is hard on your back, lots of bending over and picking up. The raw strength required isn’t totally trivial. Even 50 year olds can have trouble with this.

It gets better by the time they’re 2-3 and can walk, but of course other childcare options become more available at that point as well.

Thanks, you know, I think the brick oven pizza IS better. Yes, you probably could taste the difference. Whether the 5 min is dryer: maybe, could be.

My decision to sell my Ooni, after about 6 tries, was because my actual results were nowhere close to a pizzeria's, and way more trouble than my kitchen oven's.

Since you can't just open the door as you can with the kitchen oven, you have much less tolerance for error. In the kitchen, you just open after 5 minutes and decide, "OK, it's done" or "One more minute."

I guess I decided the brick oven pizzeria results are just not attainable at home. The kitchen results are damn good; way better than a frozen pizza.

If you want more control than a shareable password provides, it’s on you to implement something other than a shareable password. A feature that merely helps people share passwords doesn’t change that.
This is also something (anecdotally) common with Gen X parents. That being said, deadbeats have been a relatively common trope since the Silents or before. Is it really that surprising that, now that it's possible for both parties in the parenting equation to be deadbeats, they're taking that option?

This doesn't seem like a new aspect of moral decay: People have always been terrible, and neither sex is inherently morally superior or magically more empathetic or responsible.

It becoming equitable is just another side effect of suffrage and no-fault divorce, something decided upon by the Silents, Boomers and Xers. It's still probably better than the prior situation, but acknowledging the fact that it's a consequence of the legislative choices of society is probably better than just randomly blaming Millennials for something that isn't unique to them.

Saying that as a non-Millennial.
