TCP has built in checksums that prevent most data corruption. I believe this is why it’s not part of HTTP, because TCP should already be doing this for you.

I’m guessing that for your very large file download you had an unusually high number of corrupted TCP packets and some of those were extra unlucky and still had valid checksums.

No slack needed. The authors did great work, and they have been assured of that, and PP is embarrassing themself with the kind of middlebrow dismissal that Hacker News guidelines discourage.
The reason the city is called Phoenix in the first place is that it’s built on top of a much older community. People have lived (and kept cool!) in that area for thousands of years, although never with the current level of population density, of course.
Saw that directly. Everyone talks about the tax cuts, but my taxes went up as a result of the SALT changes. There was a real effect on people, especially those in high cost of living areas, when they could no longer deduct mortgage interest.

I wonder if it will be allowed to expire on schedule and my taxes will go back down. Probably too much to hope for.
How long do US people typically fix their mortgage? Are there many people that will refinance their home and have to pay a higher rate or does this just happen if you move house? Can refinancing be avoided if you just move house and transfer the debt to the new property but keep the same rate? In New Zealand you can fix for 6 months, 1 year, 18 months, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years with 2/3 being most common but recently 6 months to 1 year becoming popular due to the expectation that rates will fall. The flip side to that is a lot of people on a historically low < 3% 3 year mortgage had to take a 6%-7% mortgage so a lot of money gets taken out of their pockets and the economy.

And among those other uses, I've found that generic LLMs are surprisingly effective as translation engines though they were not specifically intended for this role. That includes "translating" to various dialects (which may be easier to proof or check).

The results seem to be better for strongly represented languages (e.g., English, Spanish, German, French), less so for those which may be less prevalent online (e.g., Yoruba):

Rent control is absolutely important; although it does probably have a measurable effect on how quickly things get built, I don't think it's near the top of the list of bottlenecks.

> The other side of the equation is that wages could increase relative to the price of housing.

It's a system problem with various feedback loops, and people absolutely aren't getting paid enough and don't appreciate how little money they're making relative to what it can buy. In my city we're at a point where a new studio condo with no walls along a major thoroughfare outside the downtown area starts at ~$600k CAD, and older one bedrooms in the same range will still have asbestos and coin-op laundry in the basement. My landlords recently moved out and our living circumstances long-term are being considered. I had a conversation with one of them and she was seemingly clueless about how vulnerable it might have made us, and that's a bit humiliating; "but you guys have been here a while and surely you're making good money since moving in 5 years ago", to which I actually laughed and didn't elaborate, since we now depend on them putting in a good worth with our new overlords. We don't have the job security, we don't have the proportional increase in earning potential. Any decent money made gets erased in the next round of layoffs. Burn it all down.
Google instantly gives bad results, that's why.
It has been fast-tracked from the Japanese standard JIS X 3017, and I think there was a strong incentive to standardize due to Ruby being the only current mainstream language originated from Japan. (I recall even the Ruby Association [1] is supported by Matsue, where Matz was born.)

This looks like a cost saving maneuver to me. Why do the heavy innovation lifting on your own proprietary virtualization technology when you can have the community do it for you, for free? You can layoff several high-cost developers and stop innovating while extracting as much money from your current customers as possible.
Is Leap Motion still a thing?
You don't need to think about the virtual environment that might have been created to run the tool, that thing is entirely ephemeral. The caching is shared with all other virtual environments on your machine, so if some other project uses the same version of a dependency that cached dependency will be shared.

Contrast that with other Python virtual environment tools where you can end up with the same exact dependency copied dozens of times across your system.

"pipx run" for example can result in identical copies of dependencies that are used by multiple tools.
> Meaning daycare? IIRC, they are already tax deductible to a point (see: Dependent Care FSA)

At a cap of $5,000, the dependent care FSA does not even cover 2 months of daycare for my daughter, and the tax savings amount to less than two weeks of care.
>Is it that you don't believe these pieces of malware are generating fake engagement on Google's properties?

The extensions engage in affiliate fraud (ie. injecting affiliate code/cookies to links/sessions) and collect user data. That hardly counts as "engagement on Google's properties", which are mostly search ads and youtube. To my knowledge google doesn't have an affiliate network, so they're not getting anything there either.

You seem to imply that the extensions are engaging in ad fraud (eg. viewing/clicking on ads), but there's no evidence of that presented in the OP or in this comment section.
Prices are not the relevant statistic though, it's housing starts [1]. They dropped from ~1.8M in April 2022 to ~1.3M today. Prices are affected by supply and demand equally, while starts are much more affected by supply.

As for how the Treasury and Fed managed the crisis, it was easily the most incredible macro success story since I've been alive. Had you told me in 2022 that they'd manage sub-3% inflation without a recession at all, I'd have said you believed in fairy tales.

More pointlessly defending multi trillion dollar companies for their penny pinching. Sure it's useful, but it could be cheaper without so much anti consumer markup. And y'all should be in favour of this yet you've been taught by apple's cult atmosphere to be "happy with what master gives us"
Some people are convinced that healthcare initiatives are so corrupt as to be theater, in regard to finding new treatments, somehow forgetting that the competition is measured on a race to the highest survival rating (both in large populations and small populations looking to grow - ie Israel). Billions of dollars is nothing if you have billions of people paying even 20$ a month for the duration of their extended lives, going forward through history (since cancer wont stop). It's a purile fantasy that their is a cabal of mustache twirlers, sabotaging medical discovery.

Do you know what motivates hedges to fund new startups effectively? Success in previous investments. Drug cures have nothing but upsides for every economic strata.

That's still cartel behavior. If Google and Apple formed a cartel to fix handset prices, they could still theoretically compete with each other on features or whatever, but that'd still be a cartel.
No, because of the way CO runs elections. But it is possible to gin up fraud claims and then resort to violence if the candidate who did this before loses again.

Since the 1990s the first line treatment has been microdosing meth, not crack.

Traditional search can become "spamming text" nowadays because search engines like Google are quite broken and are trying to do too many things at once. I like to think that LLM-based search may be better for direct questions but traditional search is better for search queries, akin to a version of grep for the web. If that is what you need, then traditional search is better. But these are different use cases, in my view, and it is easy to confuse the two when the only interface is a single search box that accepts both kinds of queries.

One issue is that Google and other search engines do not really have much of a query language anymore and they have largely moved away from the idea that you are searching for strings in a page (like the mental model of using grep). I kinda wish that modern search wasn't so overloaded and just stuck to a clearer approach akin to grep. Other specialty search engines have much more concrete query languages and it is much clearer what you are doing when you search a query. Consider JSTOR [1] or ProQuest [2], for example. Both have proximity operators, which are extremely useful when searching large numbers of documents for narrow concepts. I wish Google or other search engines like Kagi would have proximity operators or just more operators in general. That makes it much clearer what you are in fact doing when you submit a search query.

That’s good, because it’s total nonsense. There are many things that hold back cancer research, but this story of conspiracy is not one of them.

Cutting edge pharma companies, believe it or not, have an incentive to cure cancer. Even from a naive supply and demand argument it makes no sense.
This is a great way to find what movies or concerts are playing at a theater/venue. It even lists how much each costs.

You can even search “what [music genre] is playing in [city] this November” and it lists them.

All of those would normally take multiple clicks/manual filtering or ad filled aggregator sites.
Anyone know of an app that deals with these kinds of texts?
I sail a 1962 Block Island 40[1] with a retractable bronze centerboard. Granted, it's no mega yacht, but it has an aluminum mast that is at the thinnest 3/16" because at the time people didn't understand the material and were afraid of it. The main boom is a solid wood tree trunk that takes 3 of us to rig every year. Its solid fiberglass hull is 2" thick at the keel, tapering to about 1" at the toe rail, with solid fiberglass decks tapering from about 1" at the rail to about 3/8" where they meet the cabin top. In other words, this is a heavy, overbuilt, brick shithouse of a boat. But it's designed well and has enough ballast to be safe with the board retracted.

The fact that the keel was up is no excuse at all.

Adjacently, one glaring omission from the Times' coverage was reports of those gigantic cabin windows shattering. I wish they'd addressed that. I didn't know about the unseaworthy vents, but just looking at the pictures it seemed obvious that if you put that boat on its ear in any kind of weather you'd break those windows and sink.

I've had my boat with the rail 2' under water in 6'+ choppy Buzzards Bay conditions gusting over 30kt and it was a hoot. When I imagine a floating hotel like the craft in the article in a similar situation, that's probably a fatality. I wouldn't be able to sleep onboard a boat like that.

EDIT: There are also numerous examples in the historical record of whaling ships, clipper ships, war ships, merchant ships, and the like getting knocked down in storms and besides maybe crew being washed overboard and busted rigging getting through it relatively unscathed. It's absolutely inexcusable and shameful in the year 2024 for this to happen.

Already you can barely function as a citizen unless you either own a house or pay rent to a landlord. Want to live in your car? Want a bank account registered to a box at the Post Office? Can't do it! Whether you are a human being deserving of rights is determined -- who would have guessed? -- by whether you get a bill from the electric company.

Homeowners are the only caste that matters.

Renters are grudgingly accepted as human in some limited circumstances.

All other adults are considered subhuman.

DAWN: Designing Distributed Agents in a Worldwide Network
The weird thing is that you could have written that same sentence 20 years ago. I remember around 2005 the Union Tribune ran a map of San Diego showing the percentage of household income spent on housing, with the entire coast red even in the rich neighborhoods where people were getting interest-only mortgages on multi-million dollar homes. At the time I remember being amazed at how many people would take such risky loans but now I’m more impressed by how often that worked: unless they couldn’t make it through the 2009 collapse and had to sell right then, they probably did clear a good profit from that strategy.

> Its stupid to try and assign copyright to things that aren't legal persons.

Good thing they got that covered, then. As per the article:

> In a historic ruling, the legal personhood of the Los Cedros biological reserve was recognised by Ecuador’s constitutional court in 2021, when it determined to cancel mining permits in the reserve.

> Instead people should just assign the copyright to some sort of trust or non-profit dedicated to the forest.

People can be corrupted and bought. Someone who acts on behalf of another can betray the latter for personal gain. See for example the stories of Britney Spears and Brain Wilson.

On the other hand, if the entity owns itself, you can’t legally harm it without consent, which can’t be given. See also The Tree That Owns Itself.

Conversely it's hard until it's not. Quadcopters were hard until now they're a disposable item purchased in bulk.

The point of a model like this is targeting that very notion: that with the right software, and enough computer power, you should be able to learn a pretty wide range of available capability (i.e. humans can do this anyway - we drive, we fly planes, we operate heavy machinery - that's us being the software but it's not clear that you need the whole human to get the effect).
> You are so sure you’re right that you are not really thinking about what I am saying, and how it applies to real world situations- especially things like real life high stakes life or death situations.

Nah, you're just saying a lot of stuff that's factually incorrect and just terrible advice overall. You lack understanding what you're talking about. And the stakes are pretty irrelevant to whether a system is secure or not.

> For things like ECDSA, like anything else you implement obscurity on a one off basis tailored to the specific use case- know your opponent and make them think you are using an entirely different method and protocol that they’ve already figured out and compromised.

You're going to make ECDSA more secure by making people think you're not using ECDSA? That makes so little sense in so many ways. Ahahahahaha.
FWIW the good thing to come out of apple intelligence is their private cloud compute, which should open up the doors to more safe and secure processing of data on the cloud. I know there's a push to make everything run on the edge nowadays, but cloud computing still has it's strengths in some areas.

> holodeck programming is basically an LLM hooked up to a game engine

Ehhhh.... kinda? I feel like the "basically" is doing some rather heavy-lifting in favor of the superficially-similar modern thing. Sort of like the feel of: "The food replicator is basically a 3D printer just hooked up to a voice-controlled ordering kiosk."

Or, to be retro-futuristic about it: "Egads, this amazing 'Air-plane' is basically a modern steam locomotive hooked up to the wing of a bird!"

Sure, the form is similar, but the substance could be something with a different developmental path.

Every time I see one of these topics, I go ask chat GPT a question to which I know the answer on a topic where I would like to be able to get useful answers to similar questions that I do not know the answer to.

This time it was, "Did Paul Edwin Zimmer write a fourth Dark Border novel?" (Real answer: Yes, Ingulf the Mad. You can find the answer on his Wikipedia page.[1])

ChatGPT's[2] answer: "Yes, Paul Edwin Zimmer wrote a fourth novel in the Dark Border series titled "The Dark Border." This book was published after the original trilogy, which included "The Dark Border," "The Gilded Age," and "The Silver Sphere." If you're interested in the themes or plot, let me know!" (Note: these are not the titles of the 2nd and 3rd novels in the series. Also, it gave me the same name for the putative 1st and 4th books.)

We had window unit A/C in our very-poorly-insulated 100 year old farmhouse, when I was growing up and money was very tight, as in if we go shopping and eat out, you're getting water to drink, sharing a meal, and no dessert. Not like starvation levels of poverty but still, money was tight.
A/C was not considered optional, even if you could theoretically remain alive when the temperature was over 100F every day for weeks straight and stayed in the 80s (or even 90s) at night.
