That sucks. Its tough work, if you live near any of these trails and frequent them they have volunteer days which are totally worth doing.

It practically means trails won't get the love they deserve and it will be harder to make use of the resource.
A guitar simulator: https://github.com/MatrixManAtYrService/pentatone

A friend was excited to teach me to play the guitar and I was excited to teach him to code so I wanted to make some common ground for us to play with.
I'm a camp host for a USFS campground. It takes 3+ seasonal employees to clean the bathrooms, remove the trash, monitor the chlorine content of the drinking water and repair things. Together they maintain a dozen or so campgrounds.

As a camp host I occasionally do these tasks when these employees are absent as well as my usual duties. For this I theoretically receive a small stipend. I say theoretically because the payroll operation is so understaffed it is five months behind in paying me.

Without the seasonal staff, I don't see any way the USFS can keep the campgrounds open as well as do many other functions.

I don't think many Americans understand how 40 years or so of declining agency budgets have hollowed out the staffing of many government agencies.

That doesn't answer the question at all. That says that CA is adding jobs rapidly now, which does not contradict the claim that over the 2022–2024 window CA barely moved the needle, nor does it help to show that given a longer range the effect in TFA disappears.

Edit: here's some data that does answer the question:

You're confusing the budget (maintenance spending) with the value of the real estate assets. That is, all of the land, e.g. 95% of Nevada, about 70% of the entire western USA

If that land was generating income, we could pay off the entire $35+T debt in no time.

I did a little of both with https://asciitabs.com/random - trying to learn some basic music theory and improvisation with guitar and thought maybe this would be a good way to help out.

Actually WRITING the program did indeed help memorize the spacing of notes and general pattern of scales. But it was one of those "write it to throw away" moments where now that I have written it... well it's fun to look back at and click a few times!

But I have to chuckle in hindsight to think that the way to "improvise on a guitar in a way that sounds good" is anything other than just hours and hours of practice
Qualcomm's been involved with RISC-V for several years now.

If anything, ARM is the plan B that they'll likely end up abandoning.
I'm talking about the value of the land , not the maintenance costs
...you can make rules to stop this? The Dominion election fraud was more or less cast out of mainstream discourse with commercial damages law. If you expand this a bit (ONLY A BIT) farther, you'd expect a roughly linear scale of results.
Qualcomm has been working on RISC-V for a while, at outwardly-small scale. It's probably intended as a long-term alternative rather than a ready-to-go plan B. From a year ago: "The most exciting part for us at Qualcomm Technologies is the ability to start with an open instruction set. We have the internal capabilities to create our own cores — we have a best-in-class custom central processing unit (CPU) team, and with RISC-V, we can develop, customize and scale easily." -- https://www.qualcomm.com/news/onq/2023/09/what-is-risc-v-and..., more: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qualcomm+risc-v&t=fpas&ia=web
All good. obviously they aren't productive enough. It's about 70% of the western usa. surely they could be more productive.
A key difference was the lack of democracy. There was plenty of misinformation, but it didn't channel quite so directly to the levers of power.

That wasn't necessarily better. We put democracy in place for a reason. But there has been a shift in the societal basis that underlies democracy, and we'll be forced to come up with another set of solutions.
it doesn't have to go anywhere to be productive.

Bloomberg disappoints by failing to mention RISC-V at all in the entire article.

They have to be doing this deliberately, as it's hard to explain otherwise.
Plenty of people when I lived in Texas 25 years ago who would be pretty easy to get onboard with privatizing access to government services. Complaints about the DMV, for instance, are eternal. School vouchers were and continue to be hot in many influential circles, with people wanting to get rid of the government services entirely in favor of privatized ones. Pro-privatization, small-government ideas have been WILDLY popular since at least Reagan.

Giving up liberty for security, (or just convenience or religion) in the US goes back even further. Cold War policies and inquisitions, any number of vice laws, restrictive zoning, to name a few from the 20th century.

A pistol would be hilariously inadequate. As for "detonating explosives", what do you think they are doing? They are shooting high-explosive artillery rounds from a tank that detonate on impact.

As for "why artillery", how do you plan on getting explosives into the snowpack, especially under conditions of severe avalanche risk? Those areas of the mountains are inaccessible by vehicle even in the summertime. A tank can drive on a road and deliver the explosives where needed. They often target 20+ separate snowfields so being able to do it in a timely and efficient manner matters.

While the armor doesn't contribute much, it happens to be what the artillery gun is attached to. It would cost far more to rig some special-purpose vehicle. Sherman tanks are free, the government has loads of them lying around waiting to be scrapped, you just pay for fuel and upkeep.
Qualcomm have a Plan B.

This time last year they were all over the RISC-V mailing lists, trying to convince everyone to drop the "C" extension from RVA23 because (basically confirmed by their employees) it was not easy to retrofit mildly variable length RISC-V instructions (2 bytes and 4 bytes) to the Aarch64 core they acquired from Nuvia.

At the same time, Qualcomm proposed a new RISC-V extension that was pretty much ARMv8-lite.

The proposed extension was actually not bad, and could very reasonably be adopted.

Dropping "C" overnight and thus making all existing Linux software incompatible is completely out of the question. RISC-V will eventually need a deprecation policy and procedure -- and the "C" extension could potentially be replaced by something else -- but you wouldn't find anyone who thinks the deprecated-but-supported period should be less than 10 years.

So they'd have to support both "C" and its replacement anyway.

Qualcomm tried to make a case that decoding two instruction widths is too hard to do in a very wide (e.g. 8) instruction decoder. Everyone else working on designs in that space ... SiFive, Rivos, Ventana, Tenstorrent ... said "nah, it didn't cause us any problems". Qualcomm jumped on a "we're listening, tell us more" from Rivos as being support for dropping "C" .. and were very firmly corrected on that.
Handguns don't have the range or power. Explosives are used, but you have to get them up there, which means either schleping up the mountain or using a helicopter, which is wildly more expensive.

Artillery works great.
MediaTek is still available.
I've added claims from a wide gamut of people (some just random Internet users), but here are a few:

2021-10-02 (did not come true): "I would not be surprised if Apple completely closes off the Mac ARM64 platform for “security” in the next few years. The option to boot third-party OSes seems like a short-term gimme to keep the pitchforks and torches at bay." -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28731406

2022-01-12 (did not come true as a "crisis"): "Long COVID / PASC [...] will easily be our next great public health crisis sooner than anyone can imagine." -- https://twitter.com/JamesPhipps/status/1481442131751456770

2022-04-04 (we will soon see): "Unless we see big structural changes in the Democratic party's coalition, then the modal outcome for 2024 is Donald Trump winning a filibuster-proof trifecta with a minority of the vote." -- https://twitter.com/davidshor/status/1511028728381734912

2022-11-18 (did not come true): "I do not think Twitter will die, but it will go down in the next few days due to the World Cup and its overwhelming traffic. When it does, Musk will dedicate himself to bringing it back up, and boldly claim that his mission is to “keep Twitter standing.” In the background, he will realise that nobody wants to work for him, and that there is no path that involves him running (or even keeping) this website that resembles any kind of success." -- https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-fraudulent-king/

2024-01-29 (by the end of 2024): Brigida v. @SecretaryPete will be settled by the start of year 2025 -- https://x.com/tracewoodgrains/status/1752118772960514234
I think they meant basic concept of keeping the things you paid for, such as software, ebooks, musics, et.. Not actual housing market.
Most of these crews were already short handed and in districts relying extensively on labor from youth conservation corps and private contractors. The private trail building sector has exploded in the last decade or so. More often than not the USFS (and other agencies with some variability) trail crews will work on high profile projects or simply as liaisons/project managers for the private outfits. Even though the work is often just scratching at dirt, building /maintaining trails and the structures they rely on is technical trades work and needs a local culture to maintain standards. Funding solutions should look towards the outdoor recreation industry and cutting fat in bloated non-profit admin. They benefit from selling the lifestyle and all its accessories while contributing relatively little to resource maintenance.
Here we have a perfect specimen of an assumption-laden, chronically online take. I’m not a fan of the man but it has nothing to do with my question.

Looking at the sizes and structure of the source alone, it is obvious that Coreboot is a product of the post-HLL average developoor, while in the 486 era BIOSes were exclusively written in very carefully optimised Asm. One naturally wonders what the latter could fit in the space of today's multiple-megabyte flash ROMs.
Our pursuit of space travel has lead to an incredible number of innovations that are used accross almost every industry in this country.

The use of orbital based technologies like GPS and satellite imaging have unlocked entirely new capabilities.

It's hard to find an aspect of modern life that hasn't been transformed in some way by space.

Dollar for dollar, the only better return on our federal spending is education.
>Since the i80486 has no management engine, running an open source BIOS would make it fully, 100% open.

Note there are fully open source RISC-V designs you can program into a FPGA that will yield higher performance than any 486 by orders of magnitude.
This is exactly my question. I wish I could better justify the value of spaceflight, but I’m wholly unconvinced. The arguments for investing in it always seem like vague references to the future with no specific value delivered today.
"Modern" Windows apps actually have a sandbox (which includes a private temporary folder), and require permissions to access pretty much anything outside. This is all implemented in terms of the existing Win32 security model, fundamentally.

In principle, there's nothing precluding e.g. having a separate user per app on Linux, either...
Is there even an alternative to captive portals?
>There's a big difference

No, there isn't. As far as what they are, Ohtani, Zuckerberg, Musk, and Joe Average are all just ordinary citizens unless I missed a memo.

There is a difference in that someone like Zuckerberg is a more valuable target than others, but you're just making excuses to justify your snooping. The fact that Zuckerberg snoops doesn't excuse snooping on him, either.
This move doesn't stop Qualcomm from licensing ARMs reference cores, it only blocks them from designing their own in-house ARM cores like Apple does. The vast majority of Qualcomm chips currently on the market are built around reference cores, they only recently got back into the custom core game with their acquisition of Nuvia which also kicked off this dispute with ARM.
I don't really see how that's related to the article (not trying to be a dick about it or anything; probably I'm just dense).

That's right. Web frontend has always been constantly changing.
And that's what makes it even more fun.
Because of that, I try not to focus too much on new technologies.
Of course, new challenges are always meaningful, and over time, if they become well-refined, they might settle in as standards.
I'm really glad to have had such a great conversation through this opportunity!
Based on the evidence, it should take more than just stepping on it - it seems to break under a big dynamic load. The cast aluminum appears to be more brittle than a steel frame.

Marxist governments have caused exponentially more harm (e.g., genocides) than monopolistic companies.

Both are bad but the first one results in harm always.
That's a weird conclusion to make. Are you parodying Brave New World here? Because they use a lot of human labour. (The book talks about not using labour saving devices, because that would give people to much freetime, but they also talk about not breeding only 'alphas' because they wouldn't want to do the menial work. They leave the reader to figure out that you should combine both of the failed ideas to get one that works.)

We can reduce the environmental footprint of specific activities by replacing humans. Yes, we would only reduce the _overall_ footprint by reducing the number of humans.
Texas does just that! When you apply for a driver's license or other state ID, you can elect to register to vote at the same time. Two birds, one stone.

That depends on the model ID you are using.

If you use "claude-3-5-sonnet-latest" you'll be upgraded to "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022" already - I tested that this morning.

If you're on "claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620" you'll need to change that ID to either the -latest one or the -20241022 one.
Export controls in the parent example are intended to cause friction between people in the UK and US? Really?

If anyone is curious, there's a good breakdown here:

https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/feder...

Social Security, Health, and Medicare alone account for 49% of the budget, to National Defense's 13%.
The US normally gives Israel around $3 billion dollars a year to buy our weapons -- they are in fact required to spend it on buying weapons from US defense industry. It's kind of an, um, gift certificate.

This year they gave Israel $18 billion, so much more than usual.

In one sense, all of this is actually a jobs program for the US defense industry, since all that money is required to turn around as weapons purchases from US companies.

Even $18 billion is less than 1% of the US non-military budget, this isn't the reason we "can't afford" the USFS, or the reason to stop giving weapons to Israel -- the US certainly can afford both. (The reason to stop supplying Israel is that those weapons are actually destabilizing the region and encouraging violence and gross human rights violations).

But, no, Israel "buys" US weapons with US money, they are indeed a gift.

I think of how I lost trust and it's more along the lines of: "Wow, with all of this new information, I can see how institutions/experts/officials have been lying to me all along."

In other words, I "lost trust" in institutions, experts, officials etc., when I found the information on the web that I consider to be "the truth" which overrides what established organizations previously proffered to the me.

The Web did cause me to lose trust, but only because it made the actual truth available to me and made me realize how dishonest most people are.

There may be examples of this... A mechanic who overcharges you can be "found out" now by a customer who does some online research. Previously, this work would be accepted as is, but it is now (rightfully) questioned. The dishonesty was always there, but it's more readily discovered now.

Hope I'm making sense...
Seems to me it would already be solved by Minesweepers rules, the clock should be stopped.
They've been investing engineering effort in Claude Artifacts instead, which I find incredibly useful: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Oct/21/claude-artifacts/

I'd love to see them produce their own Code Interpreter alternative, but in the meantime it's open for third parties to offer that (and a few do).
i didn’t write this one but it’s a cool one:

Being “on the network” doesn’t mean there’s an accessible API. See QuickBooks Desktop. Intuit forces you into using their API, which is XML-based and ranges from slow to timing out.

Is the idea that someone will always reverse engineer it? Yes, but QuickBooks is brittle as is (you can count on at least one database corruption every year or two). I have zero interest in treading into unsupported territory when database corruption is involved and I’m likely going to need Intuit’s help recovering. We can try to restore from backup, but when there’s corruption it doesn’t always restore successfully, or the corruption was lingering silently for some time and rears its head again after a successful restore, and then we’re back to needing Intuit’s help.
Not a single exception? :)
