Often at large private events the city will require a certain number of police, that the host must hire. And they can only hire from local departments that have worked out these deals letting officers do this on their own time, but in uniform.

It’s weird, and often sort of extortion
off-topic: is there anything that aims to be a 'universal stdlib'? Something that lets you write eg some small spec about how your language operates and then it lets you add a fullblown polyglot batteries-included stdlib to your language? Would be a dream for language devs I imagine. I guess you could go pretty far by just linking to some C library probably though.

There are services that will build a PC for $200. It's entirely valid to ask where the money goes, and the answer is not the labor to put the pieces together. There's no reason to assume OP is being dismissive of that specific cost.

ATProto actually separates moderation from PDS or App View. Users can choose which labellers they prefer and can even combine them, separate from where they host their data or the UI they choose to use.

makes you wonder about the level of journalism at wsj et. al.
It might have begun far before the railroads but it only became worse with time. The sand creek massacre was in 1864. Square in the railroad era. Not to mention every broken treaty of that era that was directly incentivized by the new massive industrial access to western land.

One could and probably should understand that the beauty of the Railroad is inseperable from the subjugation of the indiginous tribes and the labor abuses that built it. Should those things be ignored because they make you uncomfortable? It's perfectly contextual to have that in this piece....

... though I do concede the way that's mentioned and the article in general seems low effort and mediocre. But that's a different argument than "stop making me uncomfortable".
A problem with that hypothesis is that Alzheimer's is very much found amongst the elderly while virus attacks hit all ages. Not saying that isn't involved but there's more to it.

Biosolids should be completely banned for agricultural use. They will never be safe to use. It is literally just dried sewage. Use it once and the land is contaminated for ten thousand years.

There is a right way to do it though, which is to compost what's compostable, grow good soil using it, then test it thoroughly for PFAS, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, etc., and only then consider using it if all tests pass. Each batch has to be tested.
yes there is a valid reason to be opposed to this. Yes everyone one wants to stop violent crimes and murders and that is not a bad thing. But as history has shown time and time again if the people in power decide to become a tyrant and start to abuse the technology then we have a problem. Imagine if this was around 60 years ago. You go into a bar. Some cars have driven past the bar right as you entered a few weeks past. Now police realize this is actually a secret gay bar. They take all cars whose gps shows they passed the bar and take their footage. You are seen on camera entering a gay bar and now you are on a list and they start to harass you and question you. Seems like an unlikely situation that is far fetched but I like to remind people it was only in 1965 that the last person was arrested in Canada for homosexuality. He was even declared a dangerous sex offender. So no we don't want cameras recording every second of our lives. Things that may be legal today might not be tomorrow so we should have privacy from constant surveillance.

There are people who have no idea how to use sed and will insist you need spark or hadoop for a few gigabytes of data.

'Complex shell scripting' as in 'putting together a pipeline with sed and awk and maybe jq' will save you time and money on both Windows and Mac... if you let it.

It's analogous in the API space. OpenAI is demonstrating to be reasonably good at it for developers. They've been shipping significant features and improvements. Unless they lose pace, they have a moat, at least temporary.
The US has at least 10k individuals with wealth exceeding 100M but I can't find data for specifically > 300M.

A man that just pushes a button on a digital camera isn’t making art. A guy that prompts an LLM to generate an image isn’t making art either. I don’t understand why you think a denotative definitions are “whining” or “word soup”. Just look up the definition of art.
What is the only fully multimodal model?

The GPT-4o checkpoint available to the public can see images but not generate them (it can generate prompts for Dalle 3 to use). OpenAI has an internal model with this capability, but if you don't make it a actual product, it doesn't really matter.
Products like Cursor literally have a dropdown that lets you switch between models seamlessly. From the surveys I’ve seen, most companies already use more than one model provider. The switching cost is fairly low.

I worked on a Y2K project in 98-99 for a major car manufacturer. They tested the ERP system for Y2K (in 1997) and it failed, in a way that would make the business fail. They replaced it via this project and the business continued to be successful without interruption.

Same.

I worked on multiple enterprise projects for Y2K where we advanced the dates on the customer's system and ran it so we could see the magnitude of the problems and prioritize the remediation process.

There were some things that were temporarily annoying and there were some things that were critical to the business and could not be worked around manually by throwing people at it, the system needed to be fixed.
> I have virtually no ads on my Apple devices.

Virtually. It's great when you log into iCloud and only have to deal with the App Store's "Suggested Content" and the Google suggested results in Spotlight Search and the misery of the default YouTube client running 30s midroll ads. Then you can make the little storage nag go away with a convenient $2.99/month payment addressable to Apple Inc. Oh, you wanted sideloading? That's to the tune of $99/year... can't pass off the SDK for free, can you? We'll assume you ignore Apple Music, although it will certainly nag you to try it.

For cloud storage and basic sideloading capabilities, Apple will charge you $11.24/month for basic features of the phone you bought and still treat you like garbage. The premium brand-halo surrounding their products is the well-documented Reality Distortion Effect - you are being fooled into defending nonsense because you think this grifting benefits you. To be clear, I think Android and Windows both suffer from similar problems, but their users aren't fooled because it's explicit. Apple uniquely abuses their position as OEM, and the problem literally extends to them advertising to their users and convincing them it's harmless when Apple does it. If you don't understand it by now, just read the affidavit once the FTC wraps up their case.

> And I have several browsers on my iPad, one reason being avoiding ads.

You have one browser, with multiple interfaces. When Apple serves you boot, your browsers have no choice but to lick.
Search warrant for what ? Is footage of something illegal illegal too ?
Meta and Google want to retain their data moat to maximize their ad premiums over competitors. They really do not want to sell any data.
Windows has a Pictures folder. Before they started screwing with the OneDrive directories, it used to be in ONE location. Now it's in OneDrive\directory location, which works, even if it annoys me. The upside being automatic backup and restore. That Pictures folder is accessible systemwide and is accessible through EVERY application that can browse directories.

The Photos library on the Mac was not accessible via Lightroom Legacy. He (& I) could not locate it through the "Browse" functionality within the application. I think I could open the photos through finder, but could not import them through Lightroom Legacy. I could, however, Open With: from the Photos app, which then imports into the application just fine. This irked him enough to not want to do it, and I explained that it was the only way to do so, or otherwise export and import the desired photos in bulk.

I see what you're saying, but Apple's approach was clearly not intuitive for me, nor the Mac user. It's what it is, but Apple needs to facilitate working with their virtual folders/libraries natively through applications, not force users to resort to using workarounds... to export into interoperable formats for applications that run natively on their OS. Either Adobe is screwy or Apple is screwy here, but I'm leaning on Apple so far.
Is there evidence that Apple is training a model large enough to require a huge amount of compute?

Sure, alien high tech is alien... you cannot appreciate ICs without microscopes, nor custom-designed organisms without solid understanding of biology, nor poetry without language and culture.

But I think some things are always common - such as not dying from hunger, predators or bad weather. If something as simple as bad weather can cause species to die, _and_ we know there a really simple workaround (houses), and yet there is no sign of it and species just keep dying, can we really call them "intelligent"?
> This is a bad take. Here's my take: (...) 5. They get to continue to purchase the cheaper IP switches and retain their existing hardware without retooling everything.

OP's TCP offload engines do not require any retooling at all, if you consider stuff like buying IP switches not retooling. All you need to do is basically buy a network card.

Also, if you read the article you'll eventually stumble upon the bar chart where they claim that the one-way write latency of TTPoE is only 0.7E-6 seconds faster than existing tech like infiniband, and it's also the only somewhat hard data they show. Does that justify the investment of developing their whole software+hardware stack?

I'm sure the project was fun and should look great on a CV, but overall it doesn't look like it passes the smell test.
What are you talking about? Removing the step up basis doesn’t force anyone to sell anything. It just means when the asset is sold that capital gains are due—just as they would be if the original owner had sold it while alive—instead of disappearing into thin air.
The practice of using Google to search within Reddit is already known to SEO scammers, and I’ve already started encountering subreddits supposedly geared toward a particular class of product, but upon a closer look, every single post in the subreddit recommends a particular brand of product.

Is this person SEO scamming? I don’t know for sure, but the subject matter is the same that I frequently see frontpaged from /r/FluentInFinance by obvious bots, although the motive seems to be political rather than commercial.
Can you elaborate on what would be bypassed by "patrolling?"

If the government was really contracting something out, then there's an argument to be made that it's on behalf of the government therefore it's government action and therefore it may be prohibited.

And rightfully so, imo. btrfs is the only filesystem I've used where it's gotten so corrupted due to faulty memory on a computer that I had to recover the files and reinstall from scratch after replacing the memory (obviously not using btrfs the second time ..).
It hasn't been ignored, it's been talked about since it got instated and it's never gotten the political traction to be repealed - sustainably! If you don't ensure it's dead, you end up with a corporate tax situation where entities defer taxable events until the law changes. At one point, you have to stop trying the same failed political approach (futile attempts to repeal the stepped-up basis) and try something new.
If we're talking about the Bay Area, anecdotally my experience is the percentage of uninsured drivers seems MUCH higher than other California metros.

I have used footage from my Tesla to get evidence and plate # that I could hand over to my insurance company and the police three times. 2 out of 3 were uninsured. This was during the past two years.
I think "minimize taxes" is short for "minimize tax liability" and refunds due to overpayment have absolutely nothing to do with that once you've paid enough to avoid penalties and interest (which is only ~90% of your liability).

Breaking Eroom's Law (2020)
I think that categorising it as hoarding is a bit of a loaded stance.

I own a home and I have assets that I use to pay my daily expenses. I am, by your definition, asset rich. I don't need to "do" anything other than maintain the investments. (I also do work, but that's besides the point).

On an intellectual level I realise that if we are to have a public sector it needs to be paid for, and that I'm never going to be the arbiter of exactly how the money is spent.

But at the end of the day, I sit here and think, how much do the police, military, and the other basic functions really cost, and is the right way to do that really to say -

Hey, you bought something, give me 20% of that!

Hey, you earned something, give me 20,40,45% of that!

Hey, you sold something, give me 20,28% of that!

Hey, you died? Give me some of that!

etc. etc. If you minimise nothing and just do the "golden path", then you end up paying well over 50% when you stack it, and it feels more like theft than a "trade for civilization" as some like to put it, because I know that it doesn't cost that much.

In my country taxation functions less like "we need this to run the Government", and more like "it's politically popular for us to redistribute". Which is logically how democracy is always going to function, but it doesn't mean that I have to agree.

I prefer to pay for things that I derive benefit from and I think my family, community, country etc benefit from, I prefer not to pay for things that don't, it's honestly no different to me than say, I'll buy a TV if I want one, I won't buy a 100 inch TV because I think that's unnecessary.
I'm honestly surprised that businesses in shady areas don't have ubiquitous cameras around their properties and signs that "just do your crime one block away, that's all I ask". (Presumably that invites vandalism and there are consequently practical issues, but has no one pulled this off?)

Unfortunately no. With a short attention span, you will just have to miss out on what makes his videos awesome. For this type of thing, making it accessible for you would ruin the magic.
I might just buy one now because I find your wall-power results extremely surprising. My results with basically any mini-PC have been similar between Linux and Windows at minimum idle power; the Windows installs jump up off idle more often but I haven't seen a significant difference in the troughs. The Energy* and other reviews of PN40 indicate ~5W idle, which is more in line with NUCs and everything else I've ever seen from a mini-PC.
Yes but thankfully nobody writes base OS tooling in those languages
The main problem is actually in making your prompts perform similarly enough with a new model. For sure, switching models is trivial, but it'll disrupt the quality of your service without significant effort in migrating your prompts.

I'm not saying this is an intrinsic moat, just that there's a barrier to change.
> And you're still paying the other performance and efficiency costs of TCP. ROCE also isn't a magic bullet.

Tesla's own charts show ROCE achieving also one-way write latencies in the single-digit microsecond range. If that doesn't qualify as magic bullet, what does that say about TTPoE?
I use the mobile app for sure, just never personally had a use for using the desktop native app instead of the web app

That's why presentation and "sales" type skills can be useful. A bit of doom-mongering internal PR about the problem, then present the solution. Don't just solve it quietly.
>the obvious solution (removing the cost basis step-up when assets change hands)

Not as simple as it sounds...when you can set up original ownership of an asset into a trust and have control of that trust change hands.
This response goes back to my first post on the topic: such attitudes and behavior have led to successful forks of major components that ultimately subsumed the legacy work. The Rust side doesn't even have to go so far as to reimplement the entire kernel, as Drew proposes. They can simply fork, govern the evolution of the fork as they see fit, including whatever adaptations they prefer to accommodate Rust and, should their efforts yield a compelling product (to one or all of Google, AWS, Microsoft, et al.,) they can win.

Also, I don't believe the "C side" has the degree of control over all of this that you hypothesize. The Linux BDFL isn't anti-Rust, and he is endowed with an inhuman degree of wisdom that will likely prevent him from supporting irrational C dogmatists. The acceptance by Linus of a possible future that included Rust in the kernel is the start of all of this. He knew then the road would not be trouble free; he's been calling these kinds of shots for too long to imagine otherwise.

In the 70s he was most politically active and _definitely_ not delirious in any sense of the word and in fact according to Leila Schneps this is one of the few periods of his life he described as happy, the "sunday of his life" [1].

Lesser-Known Operators in C#
> Going from Mac to Linux, I felt that the shortcuts in Mac were worse.

They're so much better on Mac, that it's not even a comparison. Mac shortcuts feel like they're designed by someone who actually types on a keyboard. Using COMMAND, that is naturally mapped by a thumb, is so much better than reaching for CTRL. And don't even get me started on idiotic Windows machines having CTRL as left most button that obliterates your pinky and instantly requires remapping some other key, like CAPSLOCK.

> All other shortcuts are also a bit better on Linux. Ctrl + J for downloads in Chromium. Ctrl+ H for history. Ctrl + Tab to move through tabs. Ctrl + T for new tab. On Mac, they're very inconsistent.

Mac shortcuts are literally consistent across all applications, unlike Linux.

Funny that some also argue that it is why the left, no matter how extreme they are, often win in the end. The left keeps fighting, always trying to change the status quo. If a legislation attempt fails this year, they will just try again the next year. Year over year, whoever keeps fighting wins. In contrast, conservatives just want to be left alone, therefore the conservatives lose often.
I'm not disagreeing, but Glyphosate is not a pesticide. You're talking about the pesticids that are forbidden in europe but allowed in the States and forced in Canada/Mexico (i have seen a documentary about what the US force on Mexico to allow them in Nafta, honestly Trump wanting to pull out of Nafta was a great, great idea for Mexicans medium to long-term).

Glyphosate cause other issue, it isn't a neurotoxic (most pesticids are, that's why weed and tobacco were used as natural pesticids before chemistry). It only work as a chlorophylia suppressor, an EDC for plants if i may (it's not really, but close enough). In small quantities, it does not seems to have any effect on human hormones. But while the half-life is "only" a few months, the quantities used (especially in gardening and arboriculture) mean the human exposition is stronger than in tests, but also that huge amount are washed into rivers where it kills plant life and ultimately fishes.

Also it push non-productive GMO, and in my opinion, non-productive GMO (basically more water efficient plants, stuff like golden rice) should be avoided.
