No landlord in the US itemizes, or even lets you see the property tax they are paying anywhere they can control. You can dig it up if you know where to look though, usually, from public sources. Same with the landlords financing costs.

And it varies between much lower than you would expect, to much higher - and doesn’t generally change the amount they can charge in rent between the two scenarios. Though of course, landlords will go broke eventually if on average rent doesn’t exceed property taxes, finance costs, and other costs they pay on average.

Competitiveness/survival between landlords over
time will often hinge on their ability to pick the best options and structure/time this well to minimize their costs while maximizing their returns. A much harder problem than I think anyone who isn’t in that game realizes.

Which is why successful property management and investment strategies vary quite a bit depending on these specific details, like who pays what, when, and under what circumstances.

So all I’m getting from what you’re saying is you don’t actually understand what you’re talking about concretely, and you’re going off a first year economics textbook instead of actual experience.

Am I correct, or not?
i suspect that you could do fp8 with log tables and interpolation if you really wanted to (compared to the memory required for the model it's peanuts), it just turns into a LUT (log table look up) and bit shift (interpolation). so again, memory bandwidth is the limiting factor for transformers (as far as energy is concerned).
You are telling me that the US has made plans for invading or defending against every scenario imaginable[1], but they wouldn't bother considering the 'our drones are being hijacked and used against us' scenario? Just because you are overly confident doesn't make caution an extreme position.

Only veteran web devs are able to come up with such a bonker idea that not managing state explicitly is somehow better. That's just basic programming but I guess they don't need that to write html.

In some ways, ancient Egyptian culture was more progressive than modern puritan derived pop cultures.

Victorian era London loved to steal mummified cats and corpses to use in early medicinal rituals. Now instinctively one would assume they were primitive savages too, but the antibacterial properties of the pitch used to preserve mummies was recently discovered to be an effective disinfectant.

In general, culture was propagated through literacy, religion, trade, slavery, and wars. Even the ancient Greeks wrote about wandering Troglodytae.

Note people have on average dropped an estimated 23 IQ scale corrected points since the Victorian era. One may find some comfort in knowing the crass film Idiocracy was a documentary about the present. =3
Could you answer my question about itemized vs unitemized sales taxes in the US vs UK and whether you think it relevant?
Also with some blogs we started to attach content to personalities, which was different than consuming content from another internet stranger.

And with personalities you have some form of relation to, you want these more recent updates instead of sticking to topics of interest.

Reddit is at least still focused on topics instead of people. I think this is why for some it still is more interesting than platforms like Insta, Facebook or Twitter.
It’s amazing to me that Google is still so rich given how lazy their culture is and how incompetent their product strategy has been. It just goes to show the power of their size and all it brings. Things like capital, monopolies (search), control over platforms (Chrome), network effects (YouTube and ad networks), and just plain old momentum.

This break up is long overdue but we also need a drastic rethink of antitrust law and corporate taxes to shift the economy towards innovative smaller instead of concentrating it in a few megacorps that are as powerful as some governments.
The 1 and 2 eurocent coins are still legal tender in the Netherlands, stores just have the option not to accept them and are allowed to round prices to avoid having to stock them (if communicated beforehand).

It's been years since I last saw a eurocent coin, but it's been eliminated by permitting businesses to remove the need for them, not because they're being phased out.

There indeed is complexity, but a lot of the projects that are created to deal with that complexity that gain traction are made by people who don't have much experience in general, or lack exposure to non-frontend programming, so you end up having to deal with a lot of half-baked stuff. It's kind of a lethal cocktail.
I have an different model, but:

Control of the device requires an iOS/android app and communication takes place via the internet.

My model has a camera in order to map its surroundings.

The app makes a map of the space, separated in rooms, and thus possible to request or schedule the cleanup of a specific room or zone. I often start the cleaning process while not at home.
The popular transformer paper, which went on to be used in things like ChatGPT, was authored by Google employees. But “come out of Google” is giving the organization too much credit and the individual too little. Also transformers were themselves a continuation of prior work like multi head attention. And it is possible that transformers were not needed - see this discussion from the other day:

We were college students; we ate it ourselves. We also had access to a commercial kitchen, and anything getting close to going bad we’d make into prepared food, which always sold really fast. We couldn’t do that with our milk vendor though, because they would only give us credit for unsold AND unconsumed milk. We had to let the milk go bad, which was a huge waste.

I also used to dumpster dive, and yes, grocery stores throw out a LOT of food. Some places would have bins for pig farmers to collect, most just threw it in the trash. I’ve been held at gunpoint twice for dumpstering. We had an ongoing battle with a manager for a Trader Joe’s, who ended up pouring bleach all over the dumpster every night. It’s wild what people will do in order to keep people from getting something they don’t “deserve,” even when it’s literal trash.
So I guess you’re against having your wife sit on your funeral pyre too?

In any case, in places like eg India 4G is more common than 3G. 3G is being phased out. 5G is rolling out.

(I realise that India isn't the poorest of the poor anymore. But not sure that's necessary for your argument?)
AI can't create good (meaning truthful) content. It's literally impossible for LLMs to be hallucination free. It's just not how they work.

The problem is going to get worse as hallucinations are used as training data because even the AI companies can't tell the difference between AI content and human content.
And i love that quote, because it suggests the existence of another - very slow, but very high troughput network, human to human, embedded device to embedded device. You could even go without centralized infrastructure there.
Just the organisms formed by the devices ( a line of home-routers is a "street", a group of devices meeting every morning is a "bus" etc.) and the routing address is basically a "interaction" with data-organism map route-finding. No ISP involved anywhere. But your info still gets to the airport, hops on a cellphone and gets to the goal.
Yeah, but I'd call that 'remnants of El Torito'? You basically have tooling to burp out the MBR, boot catalog and UEFI FAT32 shim, all pointing at the native code that can read your actual (very-much-non-ISO9660) file system into RAM and bootstrap it, and you're good to go on USB, ISO, or whatever.

The first 3 parts aren't that complicated (literally a few sectors with fixed content, maybe a few pointer fixups), and no reason IMHO to want to kill off ISO. Generating that actual file system is the hard work, but also required for live-USB distros, which circles back to the point being made in the article eluding me...

That's one of several scary scenarios.

What if it kills Android, and everyone has to buy an iPhone? (Yeah, I know, Android is OSS and the phone makers could just maintain/improve it as a consortium without Google, but looking at how these companies operate I don't think they're capable of doing this.) (And no, I don't think the USG will break up Apple if this happens. They're already showing highly preferential treatment to Apple compared to Google.)

What if it kills YouTube, and the only viable alternative is TikTok? I recommend everyone start downloading all their favorite YouTube videos with yt-dlp right away, just in case.

What if it kills Google Maps? Again, there's no real viable alternative here unless you have an iPhone.

I can see a lot of ways things could go horribly wrong here if you're someone who doesn't want to be an Apple user.
It's a thread; if you're not logged into Twitter then you only see the one tweet without context. (It wasn't like this before. Thanks, Elon.)

I agree, the author appears to conflate file and format. From a complete reading of this post and the author’s previous post on this topic, I read it as discontinuation of distribution of the ISO file, but in both posts they use the wording “ISO format” almost interchangeably.

> I maintain that the ISO format has "had it's day" and needs to be retired.

Replace “format” with “file <for booting computers>” and most rebuttals would go away. There will always be edge cases, but this is again the author’s project, so their word is god.
Gmail was revolutionary at the start, but stopped innovating 10 years ago - why don’t we still have a good search engine within it?

MapReduce would be invented anyway (I implemented it from scratch before learning of it’s existence).

Chrome is just a slightly upgraded Firefox (and novadays Safari is just as good if not better with ai)

PageRank was what gave Google monopoly, it’s not a result of monopoly.

Go - I can give you that. ProtoBuf - not my field, but isn’t it just a format that someone else would develop to fill a niche? (unlike say mp3 that had new compression algorithms baked in)

Maps - I can give you that. Some people might argue that it was an acquisition, but without Google’s muscle, Street View would not be feasible.

I would say that's an overly simplistic view. The only way we ever obtain testable things is by working on things which are not currently testable.
We used ML to discover the Higgs.

Whether or not the original Higgs discovery decay channels used ML, confirming that it was in fact the Higgs required measuring the decay to b-quarks, which has used ML since the LHC started taking data.

Over the lifetime of the LHC, he backgrounds got around 10x smaller for the same "efficiency" (fraction of true b-quarks tagged) if you want to be pedantic about the definitions. We've used NNs in b-tagging for decades now, so it was always possible to dial in a threshold for tagging that was e.g. 70% efficient.

Transformers gave us a factor of a few smaller backgrounds in the last few years though [1].

> The real enemy addressed by inlining is unexpected dependency and mutation of state, which functional programming solves more directly and completely. However, if you are going to make a lot of state changes, having them all happen inline does have advantages; you should be made constantly aware of the full horror of what you are doing. When it gets to be too much to take, figure out how to factor blocks out into pure functions (and don.t let them slide back into impurity!).

Some years ago at job foo I wrote a Ruby library that was doing some stuff. Time was of the essence, I was a one-man team, and the trickiness of it required a clear understanding of the details, so I wrote a single ~1000 LOC file comprising of the entirety of the namespace module of that library, with but a couple or three functions.

Then a new hire joined my one-man team. I said: apologies for this unholy mess, it's overdue for a refactoring, with a bunch of proper classes with small methods and split in a few files accordingly. They said: not at all, the code was exceptionally clear; I could sit and understand every bit of it down to the grittier critical details in under an hour, and having seen it written this way it is obvious to me that these details of interactions would not have been abstracted away, but obscured away.
As somebody who deals with game ISOs all the time (whether old PC games or old console games), I'm left mildly confused by the comments saying ISO is irrelevant. There's tons of media out there where the sane way to distribute them is as an ISO.

In bioinformatics, one of our main dataflow platforms, Nextflow, is built with unnamed tuples in mind. Implementing the ability to conveniently pass data with HashMaps instead of unnamed tuples was a huge boost to usability for me.
I don't think dicts themselves are the problem.

In typescript using plain JS objects is very straightforward.
Of course you have to validate the schema at your system boundaries.
But you'll have to do this either way.

So: If this works very well in TS it can't be dicts themselves but must be the way they integrate into- and are handled in python.

This leads me to the conclusion that arguments presented in the article might be the wrong ones.

(But I still think, the conclusion the article arrives at is okay. But I don't think there's a strong case being made in the article about wether to prefer data classes or typed dicts.)
Cars, trousers and water are also part of that supply chain. The issue is that governments or rather politicians then to take moral panics as an opportunity to simulate activity to the people who elect them often choosing targets that cannot push back over actual utility.
The argument is that regulating these kinds of "parts of the supply chain" is completely nonsensical and a waste of every-bodies time.
Sadly, I don't think that pedantic people will accept Unicode's notes, the same way that they will stil use the Ohm symbol (which is just there for CJK compatibilty) even if Unicode explicitly stated that the correct approach is to use the capital omega symbol.

(Or even the dreaded case of using the Philippine Peso sign (which is simply named in Unicode as the PESO SIGN) for other pesos, which is sometimes encountered in some apps! At least this is outright wrong that it is corrected immediately.)
We're aligned, you didn't get the sarcasm. :)
Really I would have concur with the author if dealing again and again with a need to fit the media contents into 650MB (if it is intended to be put at real ISO) or to guarantee how combination of 1) realmode bootloader + 2) UEFI bootloader + 3) ISO-only thunk + 4) UDF volume bizarrely interlace in a single byte stream.

Bootloaders are dodgy even without such a complication. Freeing oneself from all this may give just a moral sense of deliverance...
A professional software engineer would never think of a static site as a personal website.

On the other hand, normal users don't have an understanding of static/dynamic site and which one to choose. It is entirely up to the non-greedy/greedy clowns to go for a complex CMS written in some programming language initially by themselves or a WordPress or HTML static site initially.

I think the author should have told whether this personal website is a static site or dynamic.

This time though LUT exists in a circuit, which is much more efficient than typical memory lookup. Such LUT would have to exist per each ALU though, so it can't be too large.

Agreed. There still are resistant subs, but the main culture moved in a worse direction. That is subjective of course, but it isn't just reddit trying to "clean house" that makes everything a little more sterile and boring. It also become even more intolerant of "wrong" opinions. That has always been the case to a degree, but it got seriously worse.
It might be useful and fun to setup an open and ongoing competition for the meanest and leanest way of doing web publishing.

Its not trivial to set up because the list of desired features must be agreed and there are legitimate variations per use case. So most likely it must involve several subcategories.

But somewhere between git, markdown, sqlite, python (or maybe go?) a bare bones linux server and the mighty browser lies our optimal set of solutions. With no more that absolutely needed lines of code, no more than absolutely needed user effort and cost, no more than absolutely needed power consumption etc, in other words our true digital publishing future :-)
Almost certainly a DMCA violation and therefore illegal to distribute.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#LGPLStaticVsDynami...

You can have the LGPL'ed code but the price to pay is that your users give your objects files (i.e. pre-link stuff; but not the source code) so that your users can modify the LGPL code and rebuild your project with the modifications.

Moreover: https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/link

So it seems that you can have access to the object files.

Overall, it is possible to make your bindings LGPL. I understand this is a bit trickier and not very user friendly.

Or you could dual license.

But well, it's a political choice, so I won't try to convince you :-)
This is crazy. Like why not baby start to eat spaghetti, rice or noodle. Just to attack people then and said they are silly not to think ahead, totally ignore nearly all have to handle transition due to advance in chip technology. The fact all had to do that meant it is human fact to learn not to ignore.

One lesson is to check and not allow i.e. not ignore the address bit, like DEC (but where is DEC now btw). Tbh, look at C. How many features are not allowed but just undefined in that standard. Hence even that I wonder is there some reason we have to accept human fallibility and deal with it.

Anyway easy to comment on hindsight. What I think more important is say it cannot be done and hence no way forward but totally new architecture. X86 cannot do 64 bit say … it ended up confusing me why we have amd-64 in an Intel cpu …

What we need is like Apple somehow force migration except Apple II, we have from Mac OS … 9 … x … macOS with hardware change …

IBM mainframe is still running and the 24 bit is a feature not a bug or mistake from a marketing point of view.
