The way I understand it... If Alice owns land and sells to Bob with some restrictions, that means Alice is still maintaining some ownership of the land. And the price that Bob pays is discounted from the otherwise fair market value, because it has those restrictions on it.

Then, if Bob sells it to Charlie, Alice still has an ownership stake (logically speaking) from the restrictions (whether it is land use, or mineral rights, or whatever). That is what keeps Charlie bound by those same restrictions. And again, the land isn't worth as much to Charlie as unrestricted land would be.

Now since Alice still has what could be considered ownership in the land (via the restrictions), then Alice should be paying some property tax based on that value she is retaining. And since taxes can be assessed based on the nature of how the property is used (such as granting a homestead exemption/discount for example), then if the current situation isn't benefiting the county or city, they can redefine their tax code to raise the portion that Alice would have to pay based on the ownership type.

I understand that the above is an ideal situation, and if Alice isn't getting a tax bill then that should probably be addressed by the local government.

For sure, but that's the point - containers aren't really good for an adversarial CI solution. You can run that shit in house on kubernetes on a VM in a simulated VR if you want. But if you have adversarial builds, you have a) builds that may well need close to root, and b) customers who may well want to break your shit. Containers are not the right solution for that, VM's get you mostly there, and the right answer is burning bare metal instances with fire after every change-of-tenant - but nobody does that (anymore), because VM's are close enough and it's faster to zero out a virtual disk than a real one.

So if you started with kubernetes and fought the whole process of why it's not a great solution to the problem, I have to assume you didn't understand the problem. I :heart: kubernetes, its complexity pays my bills - but it's barely a good CI solution when you trust everyone involved, it's definitely not a good one where you're trying to be general-purpose to everyone with a makefile.

I suspect GP meant that land-use restrictions were preventing grocery stores on other plots of land. Or maybe that's just where my head went, though there's way from this article to know whether that's true. If that is the case, however, then there's a simple (and very satisfying) way to tell this corporation to f--- off.
You can disable most of what you don't need, e.g. by making a table unlogged: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-createtable.html....

It's literally just regulatory capture. It has nothing to do with capitalism.

In a truly capitalistic economy, there would be no regulations preventing competitors from coming in and creating competition. The propaganda doesn't have to be good when nobody understands what is and isn't capitalism anyways.
Just because a legal mechanism exists (adding a restriction to a deed as part of a private sale) does not mean that its use is legal. This is not "using" the government to disable other market participants, this is illegally abusing the mechanism of a deed restriction to monopolize a market and extort people.

I think it depends on the kind of person you are. I’ve met some pretty reliable folks for whom their day job was just a job and it didn’t matter if they were being paid to program web applications for processing tax returns or batch processing reports. They were much more passionate about collecting accordions or attending their kids’ hockey games.

They did not give one f for, “the company,” but they were steady and reliable co-workers.

I’ve also worked with passionate “try hards,” that will get upset if they’re not using the latest-and-greatest languages and tools. They’d throw tantrums over architectural decisions. And if they didn’t settle down they’d move on to the next job in a year. Hope they found what they were looking for.
That's a completely different type of vulnerability than the UB that's being talked about.

If Perplexity can substitute for the NYT's staff for an essential news story, then it can substitute for their staff for almost all stories. However, I don't think that's even the attack Srinivas was going for - he's indirectly claiming that the NYT's subscribers don't need the NYT for the source of its prestige and power - its news reporting.
I said that to convey that practical family considerations (car is dependable, safe, requires little maintenance) outweigh things like "Elon is a good or bad person" and "I do/don't like his participation in American politics". When I didn't have a family, I could buy a car based on looks or speed or the politics of the CEO.

I didn't mean to imply that my reasoning has more gravitas than someone else's, it's that my priorities may be different because of my situation. Different priorities are fine! Hopefully there's a car for everyone.
(Playing devil's advocate, I agree with you personally)

Unless the investor is willing to pay significantly more than a local family, this could deprive your heirs of money that they otherwise would have received.

Especially in a world of decreasing social trust, people are less likely to do something for the benefit of their neighbors or community and more likely to make purely selfish choices for themselves and their family.

Interesting, I don't actually read the poem on the statue as an invitation so much as an ideal that an invitation isn't needed since everyone is welcomed.

Illegal immigration is a whole bag of worms since it only comes down to what laws we choose to write. Our immigration policies today are much more strict than they were historically (with a possible caveat for wartime years). Where it once was legal as long as you went through a port of entry and provided basic info, today its a multi year process tied to merit and limited by caps on total immigration and country of origin. Both were legal if you followed the rules of the day, but the rules are drastically more strict today.
This is a ski town that gets buried in snow for half the year. Everyone has a car and you can't really bike safely with the snow plows running, icy streets. No one really lives there because of the food quality.

The article leaves this out. Mammoth isn't just "rural," it's a wealthy vacation town hemmed in by federal land with severely limited land. But then it confuses it with Bishop which is 40 minutes away and has its own issues (Bishop is kind of walkable, Mammoth isn't really).
"Israel began ground operations in Gaza, and on 27 October, a full-scale invasion was launched."

> The locations of pretty much every cable laid in the last half century is very precisely tracked and one of the first things that has to happen when preparing a new cable route is to undertake a high resolution side-scan sonar survey of all or part of the planned route.

When the cables aren't well buried, they can migrate. No link, but earlier today I saw a description of a repair that was significantly delayed because the cable ends were 15 km away from where they were expected to be.

That said, I think there's a lot of area on the sea, and not a lot of cables, so chances of overlapping are low; especially if a survey is done of the new route immediately before. Although if they're buried, maybe you can't see them so well. And a little overlap here and there probably isn't a big deal, because most of the time cables are brought up, it's because they were severed, so likely it doesn't disturb the other cable too much on its way up.
I use my 32S (lives on my monitor pedestal next to my 8087 chip) weekly. When I was doing floating point/integer bit twiddling the 'base' key was my deeply appreciated friend. But that was 36 years ago. RPN (if trained into the brain) really is faster and I love how the register transfers work.

Nowadays when I'm not feeling especially tactile I tend to reach for the Free42 Android app, which lives in a stack with the 32S. If I ever get bored, I'm going to relearn how to program them both. Next time around on the wheel, likely, if I have hands.

I've replaced the battery on the 32S twice. Suck on that, modernity.

> So, you've got an early church with a poor textual record and lots of people either making up quotes or misattributing them to Jesus, and probably kept making up new ones for decades after he died, and probably toward contradictory ends...

Indeed, and I'd add the fact that the vast majority of people could neither read nor write so most information was subject to memory creep within each person and telephone game each time it was passed on. Also, very few people spoke more than one language and most people of that time never traveled more than 20 miles from where they were born, yet the earliest surviving documents on which the gospels were based were in other languages and originated in distant lands.
You might be right, but my first instinct is that this probably wouldn't happen enough to throw off the water marking to badly.

The most likely used word is based off the previous four, and only works if there is enough entropy present that one of multiple word would work. Thus its not a simple matter of humans picking up particular word choices. There might be some cases where there are 3 tokens in a row that occur with low entropy after the first token, and then one token generation with high entropy at the end. That would cause a particular 5 word phrase to occur. Otherwise, the word choice would appear pretty random. I don't think humans pick up on stuff like that even subconsciously, but I could be wrong.

I would be interested to see if LLMs pick up the watermarks when fed watermarked training data though. Evidently ChatGPT can decode base64, [0] so it seems like these things can pick up on some pretty subtle patterns.

> “Free market” usually excludes the use of violence

How can contracts be enforced without coercive force if one party decides not to follow the agreement?
Brutal but true.
When I first started managing people I thought "I'm going to hate writing performance reviews" but the reality was if my reports and I talked about what was expected of them and how I was measuring it, we didn't have any misunderstandings and the reviews were perfunctory at best. (if they weren't cutting it they knew it long before the review came around, if they were exceeding their expectations they knew that too)

But what I did hate, was managers who played games to make their 'friends' look good and their 'enemies' look bad. How was senior management supposed to understand the organization when getting such an intentionally warped view of it? That taught me the value of "skip level" discussions where I would talk to some of the reports for the manager I was managing about how they managed and how well the employee understood what was expected of them and how their performance was analyzed.

Not surprisingly, being a good manager is often perceived by your peers (and even your boss!) as a threat since you "make them look bad." That was the part I disliked the most. I'm always willing to help a person become the best at what they do. But if they already feel like you are "making them look bad" and they don't understand what they need to do to look better, they can often look upon advice as "an attempt to trick them." All rooted in insecurity I suspect. And all very sad.
"Refuses to acknowledge" is a really strange way to phrase the stance he put forward in the article linked in that tweet (I'm also confused why would you link to the tweet instead of the article in the first place?). I don't see a single place where he denies that land use restrictions can cause and/or amplify housing shortages. His point is that the lack of building supply is a national phenomena and thus there may be something more at work. I would argue that the housing finance middleman conglomerates who he claims are working to monopolize new housing supply are would likely be well versed at using NIMBY tendencies to achieve that goal. I would also argue that deflecting more blame for the situation onto local landowners instead of the large speculative land banks, would also be very valuable to such a cooperative oligoply.
It’s one thing to have a goal, and another thing to take concrete action in line with that goal…?
One caveat is that these decisions are local, so people who have not had a chance to move in because there is no housing don't get a vote. Thus over time the law increasingly favors existing homeowners to the point where it completely fossilizes the community.

It's a good deal for the people who live there, but a bad one for the population as a whole as all of the prime real estate is taken and they're pushed out to places that nobody previously wanted to live.

If I had a good or easy solution I would offer it, but this is just a fundamental problem with democracy. Maybe if there was a fairly hostile state zoning board that vetoed most of the laws that prevent new construction, but there is almost no way to prevent that sort of position from being captured by the local interests and it would be very hard to staff since the person would be under both intense pressure and hate from nearly all communities in the state. Can you imagine being the guy who, through veto of the anti-construction law, let some skyscraper be built that blocks the ocean view of a few millionaire mansions? You'd be lucky to get out of town alive.

The Federal government could not pass a law prohibiting me from painting my front door purple (that would be an infringement on my 1A rights).

As I understand it, an HOA can enforce such a prohibition as a private entity (and use the courts to back them, ultimately).
I'm not disagreeing with that assertion at all: He's clearly offering them something to sabotage the strike.

I'm just pointing out that "offering to help" does equal "offering to help with AI". Sure, it's somewhat heavily implied by context, but journalistic integrity means making it clear what's an implication and what somebody actually said.

TechCrunch even seems to agree: They changed the headline retroactively.
Well, time will tell. As Go usage increases, it becomes a more tempting target, which means that more malicious third-parties will start poring over the code of the std library and the frameworks looking exactly for this kind of vulnerability.

The same goes for Rust, Swift or Zig, of course.
From my perspective, installing Nix seems pretty invasive. I can understand if someone doesn't want to mess with their system "unnecessarily" especially if the tool and it's workings are foreign. And I can't really remember the last time I had issues with non-deterministic dependencies either. Dependency versions are locked. Maybe I'm missing something?
I think these are "if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"-type musings.

Whatever the case, it doesn't really affect anyone and it doesn't really matter.
I used to think I was pretty good at being able to pick who was going to be president in the weeks leading up to an election. Until we elected a president who I assumed was entirely unelectable. That's when I realized I had no idea how politics worked and was better off mostly ignoring the whole quater annis popularity contest-slash-shitshow.
What does that mean?

If I follow correctly, assuming that there are no bugs in the compilers/interpreters, Go is less memory-safe than Java, C#, Python (with GIL), JavaScript or Rust. The only languages that are less memory safe would be C, C++ or Zig.
Do you work at the NYT and have some idea about its internals?

The NYT is most definitely pro-Israel - so much that after October 7, it made up[1] a story of mass rape[2] to justify the attacks on Gaza. Just because it's not as pro-Israel as you doesn't mean it's not pro-Israel.

If and only if someone has spent the time to write optimizations for your specific platform.

GCC for AVR is absolutely abysmal. It has essentially no optimizations and almost always emits assembly that is tens of times slower than handwritten assembly.

For just a taste of the insanity, how would you walk through a byte array in assembly? You'd load a pointer to a register, load the value at that pointer, then increment the pointer. AVR devices can load and post-increment as a single instruction. This is not even remotely what GCC does. GCC will load your pointer into a register, then for each iteration it adds the index to the pointer, loads the value with the most expensive instruction possible, then subtracts the index from the pointer.

In assembly, the correct AVR method takes two cycles per iteration. The GCC method takes seven or eight.

For every iteration in every loop. If you use an int instead of a byte for your index, you've added two to four more cycles to each loop. (For 8 bit architectures obviously)

I've just spent the last three weeks carefully optimizing assembly for a ~40x overall improvement. I have a *lot* to say about GCC right now.

To my knowledge, the term "synoptic gospels" originates from an edition of Matthew, Mark and Luke arranged in tables of three columns for each of this gospels made by the German scholar Johann Jakob Griesbach[1]. This was originally part of what is generally considered to be the first critical edition of the New Testament, published in 1774/1775. In 1776 he republished it independently under the title "Synopsis Evangeliorum Matthaei, Marci et Lucae"[2] ("evangelium" = "gospel"). This became a very prominent tool for studying the details of the textual relationship between these three closely related gospels.[3] As a consequence biblical scholars started to speak of the "synoptic gospels" as a shortcut if the wanted to point out the contrast between Matthew, Mark and Luke on the one hand and John at the other.

The usage of "synoptic" in reference to charts is also attested in other contexts from this time. For the English language, the Online Etymology Dictionary mentions 1763 as the date of the earliest usage of the term "synoptic" (from Greek syn- "together" + opsis "sight, appearance") in "reference to tables, charts, etc.", also used in other contexts such as wheather charts.[4]

Today, a synopsis of the gospels typically also includes the gospel of John, see for example Kurt Aland's 'classical' "Synopsis of The Four Gospels"[5]. However, the term "synoptic gospels" stuck to the original set of just Matthew, Mark and Luke.

The term ‘synoptic’ in relation to the Gospels is thus derived from a technical term in connection with charts and tables, not from the more general meaning ‘summary’.

[3] Matthew as based on Mark + Q + extras, Luke as based on Mark + Q + extras. However there is one longer passage in John 7:53–8:1 ("Jesus and the woman taken in adultery"), that is not included in the oldest manuscripts of John, but nevertheless became canonical, that is sometimes refered to as a "synoptic" interpolation into John, although it is not from any of the synoptic gospels, but similar in style to them.
