> Tech startups are the future of the country and the world. That’s how much of the wealth has been built in this country for the past few decades.

I find this assertion a challenge to agree with. Tech startups certainly market themselves as the future, but in reality, are a vocal industry projecting outsized impact while soaking up capital for inefficient uses (products with no market fit, ecosystem participant self enrichment, etc).

> That’s how much of the wealth has been built in this country for the past few decades.

This is not necessarily a net positive. Facebook/Meta, for example. Lots of tech wealth is no different than wealth created by big oil or tobacco, and a country adverse to supporting Tech will do just fine without. Certainly, the result will be worse for founders and investors (“startup, cash in, sell out, bro down”), but not for the general public. Wealth for wealth’s sake while diffused harm is caused in the process (whether through the product offered or the inefficient burn of capital) is not an outcome to be supported by public policy.

Importantly, we have to be able to evaluate and ask ourselves: is this value? Is this innovation? Or is this just some form of performance art masquerading for the benefit of those selling us magic beans?

Anyone who wants to see the current state of how the alt-mainstream thinking on this subject is shifting is welcome to indulge in the inventories over at [r/Canada, r/CanadaHousing, r/CanadaHousing2, r/TorontoRealEstate]. Anything that is not related to immigration or housing is essentially treated as a distraction. There is a simmering build up of disillusionment, anti-immigration and perhaps xenophobia that was usually not tolerated/allowed (hence the more spicy off-shoot CanadaHousing2), but the emotions have more or less found a stable equilibrium, and it’s not pretty.

I don’t have answers here, I can just observe the situation and blink.

Echoing what others are saying. This is just too much. I have been on both sides of this process. As a candidate, show you respect my time by being direct about the process (how long will it take? What fundamentals are you looking for? Who will I meet?). If you can't describe that in a 5 minute conversation your hiring practices are vague and could potentially give your company a bad reputation.

I know it's practically a meme in tech at this point how bad hiring is, but I honestly think we have too many people in the hiring chain who have no proper experience with evaluating people. This leads to this mentality of infantilism and perfection that will constantly lead to unhappiness from both sides of the decision. Can we somehow take cues from the past and improve hiring process efficiency while recognizing that hiring will always carry inherent risks for both parties?

It would cost more to convert them then you could sell the units for.

The people who own those buildings are desperate to fill them. They'd convert if it made sense.

They aren't part of some evil cabal to have commercial buildings sit empty to push up residential property prices.

> Genuine Question, why can't we just charge a federal property tax 3-4x local property taxes for individuals who own >1 property (which would likely be distributed back to the locality, specifics not important)

I am that person.

I own two duplexes in addition to my primary residence, for a total of four residential rental units – all 2/1s made up of ~750 sq ft each. Those additional properties that I own provide housing to 6 humans who can't purchase, or just prefer not to.

What you're proposing would result in one of two moves from my end:

1. I sell both properties and let someone/some entity (who doesn't work and/or manage the properties themselves, have any relationship with the tenants, will push rents to market prices immediately, etc etc) deal with it.

2. I scrape the lots, stand up single family homes, take my gains and walk inside ~18 months. That puts the 6 humans mentioned above out into a (very tight, <= 1% vacancy rate) rental market that'll bump their monthly rent expense by ~25% minimum and, overall, very likely reduce the headcount of humans housed.

Either way, it's a high level hit to individuals, the market, whatever. It doesn't result in any gains or economic corrections to the RE market.

> (which would likely be distributed back to the locality, specifics not important)

That's already happening in my scenario. I own & operate a General Contractor LLC entity that issues invoices to me, the property owner. The local city, county, and state are paid B&O, sales, etc taxes on those GC LLC invoices out of my personal pocket. Separately, my personal rental income is taxed appropriately at the federal level.

> I think this would just price in the externalities of corporate versus natural person living in a property for a locality.

You know what else can be priced in? Or wildly swing a market into affordability, normality, etc? Letting people build things. My lots are massive, but they consist of sheds and lawns instead of multiplying my units and housing more people.

It's impossible in my local market, and that's why it's carrying the <= 1% residential vacancy rate it has for 15+ years, and why rents are increasing at wild rates that no industry/job market inside 80 miles can support. Economics 101 says supply vs demand etc etc. Easy layups for anyone with half a brain. We don't have to modify anything outside of city/county zoning & the ability to infill everywhere.
This sort of situation is why I've been hesitant to try smaller Linux distros in the past, especially for daily drivers or any sort of long term use. The allure of innovative features and modernity tends to be weighed against the long-term prospects and likelihood of longevity.

That being said, I did think funtoo would be around longer. I totally get the motivation; if a volunteer hobby isn't doing it for you, you ought to be free to let it go. I'm sure that the remaining dev/user base is perfectly free to fork off and rename to maintain the spirit of the distro too.

I was hoping to see more of the "how does linux audio guarantee low latency/time guarantees kids of things, especially when IPC is known to be slow?" What kids of shortcuts through the kernel are there to gwt those processing guarantees, if any? Etc etc.

Still, coming from someone who is clueless linux audio subsystems the article gave me a starting point so I know where to dig.

For Google and Microsoft, you have to add some TXT records to verify your domain.

Surely they could add support for checking that TXT record to "anti-verify" the domain? Ie instead of the "MS=ms12345" value to verify with Microsoft, have some fixed "MS=NOJOY" or whatever to signal to Microsoft you don't want any registrations against your domain.

I'm confused why the engineers can't just form a union and go on strike, demanding either better conditions, a seat at the table, or actual control like this article suggests. Unionizing and striking are protected activities in the United States and many countries while everything suggested in this article is frankly not.

I'm not a lawyer, but as other commenters mention, this would be both illegal and totally reversible because it would be a decision made due to coercion. In the same way a contract is not legally binding if someone holds a gun to your head and compels you to sign, the decision to give the coup leader control of the company wouldn't be legally binding either.
> The EU is free to pass laws preventing gatekeepers and insisting on interoperability requirements and Apple is free to refuse to do that and not offer their non-competitive gatekeeping products in the EU.

Apple is also free to lobby the US government and people to take action against the EU. Especially if Trump gets elected, Apple complaining about Europe taking advantage of American companies would resonate with a lot of the officials likely to staff such an administration.

Given Russia, it is likely that the US has far more leverage on the EU than the EU has on the US.
Isn't not knowing that bias exists just the same problem that the average HR department has? You solve that by educating people about biases. If anything that should be easier with LLMs because you're not asking people to alter their sense of self ("I wouldn't do that!"), you're just informing them of technical limitations.

Show HN: Automatic perft checker for UCI chess engines
Perft (Performance Test) is a function that measures the number of possible legal moves from a given position to a certain depth. It is a crucial test for chess engines to verify the correctness of their move generation.

Using a Teacher-Student model, AutoPerft employs a strong reference engine (teacher) to verify the moves generated by a weaker engine (student) for a given set of positions. This approach reduces the time taken to pinpoint bugs by bisecting the moves where the engines differ, highlighting missing and extra moves generated by the student engine.

> there are currently only two water tunnels for the entire NYC metro area

How are you counting this? If you mean Hudson River crossings between NJ and Manhattan, there are five: two road tunnel groups (Holland and Lincoln) and three rail grops (Upper/Lower Hudson and North River). When Gateway is complete (2030s), there will be four rail groups.

But if you mean the entire NYC metro area, there are significantly more: Manhattan <-> Brooklyn alone has the Hugh L. Carey for road traffic, and then six active subway tunnel groups. Manhattan <-> Queens has a similar number.

I bet they all are bad. Intel just hopes failure rate is low enough to RMA instead of recall.

Another bet: class action suits.
You're probably thinking of Prop 13, which, no argument. But I don't think the fix is as straightforward as you imply. (TLDR the biggest problems are due to corporate landowners, not families who own a single dwelling.)

Also, what jurisdiction are you aware of that takes un-accepted real estate offers into account for tax purposes?
Looks like it's been abandoned. The website hasn't updated since 2022 it seems.
Not everyone wants to be a homeowner or will have the means to purchase one even with additional incentives, and the increased property taxes are going to be passed to renters. Also, if you intend on purchasing a place to live, you're unlikely to purchase a place that requires a lot of renovations. Disincentivizing investors means fewer of these homes will be our purchased and some will even degrade to an unrepairable state, which further reduces housing supply, which makes it more expensive in the long run.

In my opinion the only good part of that book is the title.
I would argue that we already have experienced enough of the downsides of "AI" that there is reasonable cause for concern.

The implications of deepfakes and similar frauds alone are potentially devastating to informed political debate in democracies, safe and effective dissemination of public health information in emergencies, and plenty of other realistic and important trust scenarios.

The implications of LLMs are potentially wonderful in terms of providing better access to information for everyone but we already know that they are also capable of making serious mistakes or even generating complete nonsense that a non-expert user might not recognise as such. Again it is not hard to imagine a near future where chat-based systems have essentially displaced search engines and social media as the default ways to find information online but then provide bad advice on legal, financial, or health matters.

There is a second serious concern with LLMs and related technologies, which is that they could very rapidly shift the balance from compensating those who produce useful creative content to compensating those who run the summary service. It's never healthy when your economics don't line up with rewarding the people doing the real work and we've already seen plenty of relevant stories about the AI training data gold rush.

Next we get to computer vision and its applications in fields like self-driving vehicles. Again we've already seen plenty of examples where cars have been tricked into stopping suddenly or otherwise misbehaving when for example someone projected a fake road sign onto the road in front of them.

Again there is a second serious concern with systems like computer vision, audio classification, and natural language processing and that is privacy. It's bad enough that we all carry devices with cameras and microphones around with us almost 24/7 these days and the people whose software runs on those devices seem quite willing to spy on us and upload data to the mothership with little or any warning. That alone has unprecedented implications for privacy and associated risks. With the increased ability to automatically interpret raw video and audio footage - with varying degrees of accuracy and bias of course - that amplifies the potential dangers of these systems greatly.

There is enormous potential in modern AI/ML techniques for everything from helping everyday personal research to saving lives through commoditising sophisticated analysis of medical scans. But that doesn't mean there aren't also risks we already know about at the same kind of scale - even without all the doomsday hypotheticals where suddenly a malicious AGI emerges that takes over the universe.
Yes but this is a multi billion dollar company and the base integration could be as simple as opening the link and it doesn't even have to link to the correct place.

The exact same thing works on kagi.com/maps btw. So I don't think that this is too much to ask for, I rather think that they are trying to create pressure on the EU.

Regarding the rest though, I would say forget windows and shell scripting, and focus instead on learning your tools.

You said Excel was a big part of your job .. I would start by improving skills here. There are a lot of good formulas and tools that it’s important to be aware of to make your job easier.

If you understand pivot tables and vlookup well enough, then I would suggest learning PowerBI

You can even use the excel sheets as your data sources.

Figure this out and you will blow their minds.

> the model should be consistent with knowledge about the problem [...] which I don't consider the norm in ML at all.

I don't think that is so niche. Murphy's vol II, a mainstream book, starts with this quote:

"Intelligence is not just about pattern recognition and function approximation. It’s about modeling the world."
— Josh Tenenbaum, NeurIPS 2021.

Goodman & Tenenbaum have written e.g. https://probmods.org, which is very much about modeling data-generating processes.

The same can be said about large parts of Murphy's book, Lee & Wagenmakers or Lunn et al. (the BUGS book).

Why should the US government care if Apple chooses not to sell some of their products in the EU because they don't want to abide by the EU's laws? The EU isn't taking advantage of US companies, or looking to pressure the US. The EU has every right to set their own laws and businesses can decide for themselves if they want to sell their products there. The fact that Russia exists doesn't change that.

> Tech startups are the future of the country and the world. That’s how much of the wealth has been built in this country for the past few decades.

That’s certainly how founders and VCs like to justify siphoning so much money into their pockets but it’s important not to confuse share price with value. Most of the big hits were companies like Uber or DoorDash whose greatest success was reinventing old ideas with enough backing to evade law enforcement, and while they’ve made their management wealthy the positive impact on society is pretty mixed: marginal but expensive improvements in convenience with worse conditions for workers and large downsides for everyone else (e.g. Uber made traffic and pollution significantly worse and cut into transit ridership), and they’re the one in a hundred successes.

I don’t think startups are terrible but let’s not lose track of just how much money was poured into concepts which were clearly incapable of turning into a successful product (e.g. the billions spent pushing blockchains for things they’re bad at) or, especially, the ideas which might have gone somewhere if people were running lean instead of trying to cash out in the VC lottery.
Thank you, now I can cross one company off from my list.

And after that, this is a fully general critique. Hiring well means that there's a bar hires have to meet somewhere. You can argue that their bar is too high, but there's an identical story with a lower bar. It's disappointing to see someone interview and just barely not make the cut because we're human and can empathize. That doesn't make it the wrong decision.
