Regular homeowners aren't benefiting much from high house prices. If they sell they just have to buy another, so it's a wash. If they borrow against it, they have to repay at currently high interest rates.
So the second Tuesday of November, or am I missing an exception?
I don't use AI much but I do have CopilotChat.nvim for when I do need it. o1 and Claude support was just added yesterday. (Disclaimer: I am one of the maintainers)
Encouraging as many voters as possible to own homes was one of the worst mistakes of all time in the us/canada
What you are saying about KDE is misinformation. Plasmashell in KDE 6.2 uses between 300 and 500MB RAM depending on the age of the session.
does this do that?
And thus, something will have to happen in series in order to end up with just one output.
Both the ZIL and the L2ARC, plus a third "special" cache which aggregates small blocks and could hold the dedupe table.

The ZIL is the "ZFS Intent Log", a log-structured ordered stream of file operations to be performed on the ZFS volume.

If power goes out, or the disk controller goes away unexpectedly, this ZIL is the log that will get replayed to bring the volume back to a consistent state. I think.

Usually the ZIL is on the same storage devices as the rest of the data. So a write to the ZIL has to wait for disk in the same line as everybody else. It might improve performance to give the ZIL its own, dedicated storage devices. NVMe is great, lower latency the better.

Since the ZFS Intent Log gets flushed to disk every five seconds or so, a dedicated ZIL device doesn't have to be very big. But it has to be reliable and durable.

Windows made small, durable NVMe cache drives a mainstream item for a while, when most laptops still used rotating hard drives. Optane NVMe at 16GB is cheap, like twenty bucks, buy three of them and use a mirrored pair of two for your ZIL.

----

Then there's the read cache, the ARC. I use 1TB mirrored NVMe devices.

Finally, there's a "special" device that can for example be designated for use for intense things like the dedupe table (which Fast Dedupe is making smaller!).
Yeah on my S24U rn I have 8 or so apps open, 100 or so tabs in ff (enough that it just shows an infinity symbol rather than number of tabs). That's with 12GB memory.

Tbf it seems to be browsers that kill memory on any platform. The Web is now just mobile breakpoints that load needlessly high res images.
Could you explain ?
So what does the graph look like from 1 to 5? Is zero defined? What does it mean?
Wait, did google force "the history of the domestication of the tomato" to be part of recipes on the web for SEO reasons?
This reminds me of the Monkey Selfie[1] dispute. A photographer set up a camera in a forest and a monkey came by and activated it and took a picture. The resulting picture became famous and PETA tied up the photographer in court for years trying to get the copyright assigned to the monkey. They ultimately failed and it went to the photographer.

There's nothing ethically wrong about sharing LWN subscriber links on HN when the LWN editor has repeatedly posted on HN that doing so is fine.
Demonetizing the web sounds mostly awesome. Good riddance to the adtech ecosystem.
Interesting! It's worth noting though that HTTP actually works very well for reliably downloading large immutable files.

And since this proposed protocol operates over TCP, there's relatively little that can be done to achieve the performance goals vs what you can already do with HTTP.

And because "everything" already speaks HTTP, you can get pretty close to max performance just via client side intelligence talking to existing backend infrastructure, so there's no need to try to get people to adopt a new protocol. Modern CDNs have gobs of endpoints worldwide.

A relatively simple client can do enough range requests in parallel to saturate typical last-mile pipes, and more intelligent clients can do fancy things to get max performance.

For example, some clients will do range requests against all IPs returned from DNS resolution to detect which servers are "closer" or less busy, and for really large downloads, they'll repeat this throughout the download to constantly meander towards the fastest sources. Another variation (which might be less common these days), is if the initial response is a redirect, it may imply redirects are being used as a load distribution mechanism, so again clients can ask again throughout the download to see if a different set of servers gets offered up as potentially faster sources. Again, all of this works today with plain old HTTP.
Well given they're leaning on concepts like loras etc so much with apple "intelligence" I don't imagine they've been planning this for as long as you think they have.

And their npus weren't added in anticipation of LLMs, imo. You give em too much credit.
If you buy a house and it appreciates 40%, you can borrow against that equity. You've got a heck of a cushion in the case of any negative event. Including losing your job.
You already can sorta, llms do math better when you write it in latex (assuming it is the kind of math written about in latex more often) but even for early stage math latex is close to how people denote it already so it tends to perform well
My experience is completely the opposite: I've always gotten jobs from job boards. In one case, my resume was posted somewhere (monster.com I think, many years ago) and the hiring manager saw it and liked it and called me. In all other cases, I applied myself.

I've tried working with 3rd-party recruiters, and always found them to be a waste of time, because the companies they worked with weren't good and didn't pay very well.
Chris Titus is skeptical and has a community of windows hackers and former (and likely current) Microsoft engineers commenting on his work and offering tips.

_So far_ to date it's plausible to see what's happened with Recall being hard to "safely" remove as casual incompetence rather than deliberate malicious behaviour.

He expands on this in the latter part of the video linked above - but a very good point is that moving into the future, whether intended or not, care will likely not be taken to ensure ease of removal and seamless operation after scapel applied simply because the Windows stack of cards is getting big, unwieldy, and harder and herder for single engineers to grasp all of.

> And the "not easy" opt out process

In this specific instance it looks more like human error on a dependancy tree .. generally these are correct in Microsoft packages, screwups can happen.
The SoCal housing market is insane, especially San Diego where the pay to mortgage payment ratio is completely off-kilter. Don’t know how this city is going to function in 10-20 years.
> I suspect we’re at least five years away from those rather ordinary capabilities in robots.

Maybe. Here's a robot at Berkeley folding towels in 2010.[1] A Willow Garage robot folding jeans in 2012.[2]
Foldimate in 2017.[3] Even boring old Chicago Dryer had this working by 2021.[4]

They're all really slow. That's because they have no understanding of dynamics. The item has to come to a full stop between operations. Chicago Dryer got past that problem with a sequence of steps at different stations, each station taking about one second. That yields a useful commercial machine for large laundries.

It's just a demo problem, though. The approach is interesting. They're trying to use LLM technology on a completely different kind of problem. For that, you need a lot of training data.

If you're going to do things in this way, you need data from the inside of doing it. That's hard to acquire, but not impossible. They claim to use "robotic training data". Not sure if this is from robots being operated by humans as teleoperators. Others have tried that. There's a Stanford project that looks very similar.
Something like this has been used to train quadrotor drone controllers.
There's no obvious cheap way to acquire lots of data of this type, though. You have to run your own experimental setup and log.

Motion tracking from vision on a squirrel colony would be interesting as a data source. Squirrels are very agile and easy to observe. Then run the skeleton movement data back through a simulator and try to extract the forces the muscles are exerting. Now you have something usable for training an agile robot. Maybe sports videos could be used for training.

It was a problem even before the interest rate rises, although that certainly made it worse.

Barring unlimited immigration, we could build enough high-density housing in cities to meet demand. (At least, we could if we fixed zoning.)

(Or, we could in most cities. A few, like New York and San Francisco, are very limited in terms of available land.)
I think you're conflating separate phenomena:

* Boeing is a consequence of the "Jack Welch" effect - gutting the core in service of short term gains for stock-holders.

* The MBA type, typified by John Sculley at Apple is about calcifying the current offerings presuming market segments supported by historicals with predictable demand. This works well for defensives such as utilities, consumer products and health care but not for markets with dynamic consumer relationships such as technology.

* The Google Cloud example is the Xerox Parc phenomena. Xerox was organizationally structured for investment payoffs only characteristically similar to their mainline products thus they couldn't properly allocate resources to things, such as desktop computing, with different kinds of curves. This is similar to how the franchise retailer Blockbuster so slowly responded to the centralized mail-order subscription Netflix. The institutional structure is only-so-flexible. This is similar to Conway's Law.

* The "ruin everything else" is a generalized form of a "brand extension failure". Examples include Harley Davidson perfume, Bic underwear, McDonalds Pizza, and Heinz cleaning vinegar - an over-leveraged commitment to a wildly successful core offering makes other ventures impossible.

This is not that. It's yet something else. Abstractly it's "X is a wild success, let's make Y another X instead of working on X+1"

Organizations suffer from varying degrees of ailments and they can create codependencies making the unraveling hard. Often
it devolves into politics of power brokers with the company's survival dependent on the competency of the influential instead of the influence of the competent. A brutal struggle to control a sinking ship.

The crisis of the third century happens every day.
Yeah, it’s wonderful. Especially once you take the time to up/downrank domains.
I guess that'll naturally change when there's enough pissed younger millenials, zoomers, and whatever else who don't have boomer parents with money, in aggregate surpassing the soon to be diminishing demo who owns them all. Just the numbers of voters though, no legit policy improvements.

I think they were more references the human readability of HTTP/1.0 in general instead of binary encoded data.
That is a worry. Of course a power outage would also knock out my old gas furnace too. Without the blower running, etc. the gas furnace wouldn't run.
Apple is really dropping the ball here, there are serious issues with parental controls on iOS.

No way to revoke install permission. e.g. child got ahold of a parent's unlocked phone, turned off parent approval for their own phone, and then installed a social media app. We have uninstalled the app, but he can re-install without requesting permissions. We have resorted to a 1-minute (the minimum) screen time limit instead. (Only work around would be to create a whole new iCloud account for the child!)

You used to be able to delete the purchase from purchase history, but now you can only hide it, hiding it should just retrigger the approval process?

There are well known / well documented ways to circumvent screen time limits.

You can't add additional pass code / authentication for the settings app or the parental controls

No way to prevent deletion of messages and call logs (and 3rd party tools just do a remote sync on Wi-Fi, after the kids already likely deleted them)

Parental controls are often janky or laggy and sometimes just don't work at all. And often require multiple re-authentication (iOS 18 / Face ID does improve this to be fair)
Zoning and parking minimums are the real problem. Ensure houses are safe (fire, collapse, etc.) and let the market decide where, when and what should be built.

PEP 750 – Template Strings
Apple has an arm license but they still buy memory from Samsung (and others), it's not on the m chip die but it's provided by Samsung and then packaged above the m die.
I think the economy is doing decently in aggregate, but doing either extremely great or extremely bad depending on which specific part of the economy you look at. Kind of like how the US Air Force will tell you there is no such thing as The Average Man.

Looking at the securities market (stocks and bonds) they're basically a statistical anomaly with how good they're doing. Inflation is irrelevant with luxury goods and bad with life's necessities. Cost of housing is too high in the metros and reasonable in rural regions. Wages and salaries for the rank and file are stagnant but are going up for management. etc. et al.
Probably no one here is trying to profit by their additions to the discussion, but they’re still regularly sharing very useful information.
I had no idea Apple supports third-party apps that can filter messages.

Yeah, I have DDG by default on my phone and the only times I use Google is for business pages.
Perhaps just post without justification of it's allowed? (Imagine if every valid post had to follow with why they think it's okay to post...)
Passkeys are a different story than the keychain more generally. Other browsers that work with passkeys via the system APIs had to jump through hoops and get Apple's approval to do so: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/en...

> I’m not sure Facebook fits in considering they at least managed to get some other products along the way

But that breaks OpenAI’s (et al) entire business model. Those AI companies can barely afford to operate as it is, while they scrape the entire web for free. I don’t see how they could keep above water once every website starts paywalling their stuff.
I would say dating apps make it much easier for queer people to find others to date as that was always a relatively limited pool to begin with so location based dating apps would really help make it easier.

However for straight people it was previously not too difficult to find a partner as there was a lot of straight people around you in most places and it was fairly easy to figure out where you stood in the dating market likely only had a handful of candidates to realistically choose from.

Dating apps have instead basically provided an overwhelming amount of choice and there is little in the way of immediate feedback in how you stand in that dating market. Men tend to become less choosy just trying their chances with as many women as possible, which then means women end up with so much incoming attention they start to increase their standards to have any attempt to filter these incoming requests.

You would need to design a system that had some kind of cost for a right swipe for men and maybe it increases in cost for each right swipe basically to force them to become more selective and not spam right swipes and maybe women would need to pay for selection filters or something.
> 2/3 of households own their own homes

1. "Household" is not the right unit of analysis, since a household is defined as the set of people in an existing home. Some of these include adults who would like to move out, creating a new household not accounted for in your denominator.

2. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average American moves approximately 11.7 times throughout their lifetime. In other words, current homeowners generate demand for housing just as non-homeowners do.
They sell you attention to something you didn’t expect. Click and bait says it all. In this case it’s something benefic, not selling you a device or service to help you in advertised ways. It’s just campaign to get kids away form smartphone and social media harm. I would not classify this as clickbait or self promotion. When you have kids you’ll think this more deeply and escape the knee jerk reaction that I don’t condemn at all. The web is mostly clickbait for self promotion.
Or A.W.F. Edwards claiming that had it been the Frequentist, the boat wouldn't have sunk.
No offense against the author but I would be careful using a network protocol designed by someone who doesn’t know RTP and didn’t bother to check if the name of their new protocol was already in use.
>Let's ignore the 26 years since then...

The market has been ignoring Delphi for that long. It probably peaked with D5, once they changed their name from Borland to Inprise, it was over.

I hear it's still somewhat popular in Eastern European countries, but I heard that several years ago.
Decreased exposure to pathogens
I got a new machine. Windows 11. It's stuck updating. It is taking ages. Why?
Been hearing that since the 1970s, with more reason. 1979 looked a lot more like hyperinflation than 2023 did, with 14% inflation.

By the way, hyperinflation doesn't just mean "large inflation". It's defined as 50% increase in prices per month. Yes, governments often (not always) choose to inflate the money supply rather than pay their debts. No, nobody deliberately chooses hyperinflation.

Mind you, you could be right this time. It could be that the next government will overspend enough (no matter who wins) and Congress will be irresponsible enough that we do in fact wind up in a hyperinflation. But so far, naysayers have predicted ten of the last zero hyperinflations.
Did you know him?
The U.S. diesel tuning crowd seemingly never discuss air/fuel ratios. This is a huge mistake. Also it's important to understand how much torque your transmission is rated for and to not stray beyond it. It's possible to reliably extract more performance than the manufacturer supplied but you have to understand what you're getting into. Turning it up to 11 and "rolling coal" is gonna get expensive, and it's super dumb.
Last year I set up some QEMU VMs to test some things. I struggled mightily to get the FreeBSD one up and running. QEMU flags are not the easiest – lots of knobs to turn and levels to pull, but after quite a lot of time trying to get it to work, it turned out that the installer ISO was just damaged. Do'h. It's impossible to say why/how this happened, but probably during download(?)

Since then I've started to check the sums after downloading, just to be sure.

I wish every binary format would include a hash of the content.

Also this is something that can be in HTTP – it's kind of silly I need to manually download a separate sum file and run a command to check it. Servers can send a header, and user agents can verify the hash. I don't know why this isn't part of HTTP already, because it seems pretty useful to me.
The 28.3 Mha loss you quoted is for the single year of 2023, not over 13 years. The sum of yearly losses for (2010, 2023] is 315.2 Mha according to that website.

So about 8.0%, not 0.7%.
Demystifying the Regular Expression That Checks If a Number Is Prime (2016)
That's great if I'm trying to find a location, but that's not what local results is about.

Local results means that if I search for "driving laws", Google gives me .gov sites for my state as the top results, while Kagi's first page gives me results for 8 other states (including Alaska!) but not for my state.

There are a lot of kinds of queries that benefit from knowing the user's location even though they aren't actually looking for a place that exists on a map.

(I'm a happy paying Kagi user, but OP is right that this is its weakest point by far.)
Playing around with classic three layer feed-forward classifier networks decades ago, it became apparent that successful networks tended to converge on a sort of standard solution: layer 1 would be various linear discriminators - each node would cut the input space into two half spaces, such that any input point was either in the selected half-space or not, essentially reducing the N dimensional real-valued input to some number of bits. Layer 2 nodes tended toward AND functionality, using some subset of the layer 1 outputs to identify convex regions of the input space. Layer 3 nodes tended to OR together outputs of layer 2 to combine convex regions into arbitrary subsets of the input space. I.e. more often than not, the 2nd and 3rd layer were just doing Boolean logic.

Of course, occasionally there would be a system where this didn't fully happen, and you'd get some node/s doing some funky stuff with the linear parts of the activation function, but that doesn't negate the fact that such networks can and often do find the slice/AND/OR solutions.
Samsung has partnered with Safesurfer in NZ to create a "kid safe" social media free version of the Galaxy A15 and A25. Not a samsung / android fan tbh.
That’s a nice idea, but the entire world is used to getting their internet content for free by now. People who are willing to pay anything for websites are a tiny minority.
When the public raises concerns or points out issues, it’s important not to take it personally or make it political. These are valuable data points that warrant investigation.

Personally regarding autism, I believe neurotoxins might be contributing to inflammation in the brain, while nutrient deficiencies could be affecting cognitive function, with the root cause of both issues being a fungal infection of the gut, related biofilm formation (blocking nutrient absorption in the small intestine which is where b1 is absorbed) and intestinal permeability. Cross-examine the symptoms of Wernicke encephalopathy (b1 deficiency of the brain) and autism and it is rather surprising how similar these are. Its the rule that the majority of autistic people have small intestinal problems often incorrectly blamed on the brain. The fungal infection is simply an overgrowth due to low number of bacteria. Autistic people have been found to have extremely low numbers and types of bacteria in their microbiome.

Do MMR vaccines have anything to do with this? I would hazard a guess that people with the problem I just mentioned may be at increased risk of adverse events occurring after MMR vaccine intake. Their bodies are already in trouble and MMR vaccines are the straw that breaks the camels back and these case reports online regarding autism and MMR vaccines are entirely valid and useful but the scientific community are unfortunately individually too compartmentalized in their trained medical specializations be it brain, digestive system, infectious diseases and such.
