>Remember, broker's fees don't go to the landlord. They go to the brokers! The only reason landlords use them is because they're free for the landlord.

What's more, the way it's worked up until now the landlord has many brokers to choose from. And brokers (especially in NYC) will have at least a dozen different folks who will want pretty much any decent apartment. Which allows the broker to charge outrageous fees because most landlords don't want to deal with the hoi polloi, just the folks vetted by the broker.

As such, the power asymmetry between renter and broker was astounding. Changing this will be good for the renter, that's for sure.

Brokers won't be able to get as much commission per apartment because the landlords will put the brokers on a flat fee annual retainer or something similar, because they have power (because they control the available inventory) to choose which broker(s) to work with.

All in all, it won't be so good for the brokers. Too bad. So sad. /s
Yeah. When the article compares what Apple is doing to Intel, I think they mean “classic Intel processors of years ago” that didn’t frequency scale. Like the numbered Pentiums, IIRC. That did stand out to me a little bit.

You’re right that everyone has been doing this for quite a while, it’s certainly not an Apple invention.

The Electric Light Company often covers Mac stuff and Activity Monitor is the tool you use to view this stuff in OS X, so it’s just the domain this article is focusing on.
If American democracy can be subverted by a fucking iPhone app then we deserved it. I'm not going to accept the "psyop steal" accusations this time around any more than I tolerated it in 2020. Misinformation is a perennial issue, and Twitter wasn't protected by some holy ward against hostile takeovers or even government meddling. It's fundamentally flawed, which is why Dorsey had to let it be destroyed with all of it's users being eaten alive inside it.

The damage caused by both owners has been equal, in my opinion. Elon Musk is a fundamentally bigger shithead, but as someone that doesn't have an account on Twitter I genuinely don't feel like this is an issue. This was an inevitability from the very moment Twitter started running a profit deficit it could never pull itself out of.

Sounds like a very effective Z2 protocol. I might also recommend making a phone call to Comcast, turning on speaker phone, and doing the ride while listening to hold music. Pro tip: if someone answers just ask to speak to a manager - that should get you an additional 3+ hours of uninterrupted Z2 time.
This looks fantastic. Applied!
Stock buybacks is a big mistake. Giving up on foundry efforts was another one. Intel’s 10 nm debacle was a third mistake.
This certainly has some similarities to XML. What I never liked about XML was that the smallest possible element tags consumed a minimum of seven characters, whereas Xfer only taxes you with four. Surprisingly, minified Xfer only takes an additional 10 to 15% more space than equivalent JSON. That's still a LOT, but I was hoping the additional length would be a worthy trade-off for features. Maybe there's a more efficient way to get the same features (as someone else commented here).

My lease is with "Foreign Investor c/o Local Broker."

I think the reason it was listed as a "no fee" apartment is because the brokerage is the de facto landlady.

As the person who told me about this grift explained, this is not an uncommon relationship.
Oh, i think there is tremendous value in that if you can do it. However i don't think humans work that way, and what is really happening is survivorship bias. This reduces combat effectiveness as it sweeps opportunity for organizational improvement under the rug.

My experience is very different than yours I guess. My coworkers respond in a timely manner to my slack messages. It might not be immediately, but I mean, there's almost never a situation in which I need an immediate answer.

And in the cases where there is a delay I find that I still get the response quicker via slack than I would in person if I tried to find the person while they were at lunch in person and then had to go out of my way to try to find them again in the future, whereas the slack message allows for slightly async comms without me having to keep making requests which in my experience is more than adequate to get the job done.

Perhaps you need a lot of hand-holding day to day but everyone I work with does not.

>If Tailscale is being used for remote access to the author's LAN, why is it running on a desktop that's always physically connected to the LAN?

Because it's probably not only used for that. Personally, I want to access my local network segment from anywhere, and at the same time SSH into a cloud box without exposing port 22 to the internet.

Tailscale does the second one really well. I've also had problems with route loops which is why I've avoided the subnet router feature.
I can't figure out what your point is?
I can't remember if LLVM has this problem specifically, but the linker step with debug info can really explode the memory use.

I needed access to my home NAS and linux GPU box while visiting family last year over the holidays. I was in a rush. I spent 45 minutes trying to get Wireguard configured and working, then tried Tailscale and had the network I was looking for in 15 minutes. I'm not a homelabber. I hate network admin.

Is Just Works™ / being moron-resistant, with good first-party client apps, a bad reason to pick Tailscale?
I’ll add to your observation about them being complete solutions. Also, since the author thinks they’re like NN’s, we’ll do a direct comparison where members are a complete solution. Here’s an evolutionary algorithm:

1. A series of NN models with random weights.

2. A way to score how well each NN model works.

3. Iteratively mixing pieces of models with each other based on how well they scored.

I didn’t see that in articles about deep learning at all. It was like they were totally, different things. They were so different that I looked into using both GA’s and simulated annealing for optimization of NN’s.

I’d say that EA’s and NN-like methods are different and complementary.

Definitely just as important.

If you shipped and nobody important enough knows, then you haven't shipped in the eyes of the most important people.

I'm the first person to agree with you that it sucks that optics are important. But they are. You can definitely ship shit with great optics and get a promotion and be far away before that shit hits the fan.

But if you ship the greatest thing since sliced bread and nobody notices, then you might as well not have shipped at all.

I tried to confirm your assertion about this grift but someone downvoted my previous comment saying as much. Just to reiterate: you’re right. This a real, relatively normal situation in NYC.
Steve Jobs was first a computer hobbyist, then later he worked at Atari before he co-founded Apple in 1976. He wasn’t a non-technical founder, although he was certainly less technical than his co-founder. He could program, he could do digital design, he knew his way around a bread board and an oscilloscope.

He isn’t famous for being a programmer, but he could do it, and he certainly understood it.
> Because, for whatever reason I’ve yet to grasp, homelab folks like to implement Tailscale as some sort of “secure virtual network” abstraction layer - think something similar to zScaler ZPA - on top of their local LAN.

The point is, your position is against a inherent characteristic of LLMs.

LLMs hallucinate.

That's true and by how they are made it cannot be false.

I'm terrified when I see people get a whiff of a problem, and immediately turn to ChatGPT. If you don't even think about the problem, you have a roundabout zero chance of understanding it - and a similar chance of solving it. I run into folks like that very rarely, but when I do, it gives me the creeps.

Then again, I bet some of these people were doing the same with Google in the past, landing on some low quality SEO article that sounds close enough.

Even earlier, I suppose they were asking somebody working for them to figure it out - likely somebody unqualified who babbled together something plausible sounding.

Technology changes, but I'm not sure people do.

Employees have and will continue to take Amazon to court over issues like this and go completely under the radar. The case would also highly likely be settled out of court to avoid this exact issue because they don't want it in the papers either. For an individual doing a (for Amazon) low stakes lawsuit you're highly sensationalizing the situation.

What oddly coincidental timing ... I finished setup of Tailscale just yesterday and ran into this exact issue when testing it. I didn't think too much of it and blamed the USB connection I'm using to connect my external drive.
Compile time is largely a "developer problem", but so is the usability of a library. nlohmann/json's main perk that it is selling is that it's interface is usable. Whether or not a developer values usability at typing time vs compile time is an interesting thing to ponder for sure.

The best time in history to have cancer is now, and we need to make sure that statement continues to be true for every year yet to come. Having cancer is still some of the worst news an individual can hear. And it’s nigh but inevitable; we roll the dice every second.

A lot of the issue is the hush-hush manner we treat the subject with, IMO, and the “us vs. them” mentality with the “pharma industry”. I don’t think anybody should criticize Steve for his course of treatment, but the charlatans that led him down that path. For every Steve Jobs there are thousands of Steves with a similar story.

No, my point was that people who like remote work like to believe that as long as they are working where they want to work (their homes) then everyone else is happy as well if they can work where they want to work.

They miss the point that Person A working in an office while Person B works at home is generally not what Person A wants. Person A generally wants to work with other people in the same physical space.

The pro-remote crowd does not mind upsetting others as long as they can continue to work from home.

Yeah, but that's the only actually creative part of writing. It's the bit that, once you reach a certain level of skill, becomes enjoyable.

I mean, I know what you've described is what everyone will do, but I feel sad for the students who'll learn like that. They won't develop as writers to the point of having style, and then - once everything written is a style-less mush of LLM-generated phrases - what's the point of reading it? We might as well feed everything back through the LLM to extract the "main ideas" for us.

I guess we're "saving labor" that way, but what an anti-human process we'll have made.
I'm having this problem now with our home automation stack. Compose is super easy to start with but scales poorly and makes things like "I want to access this service at https://foo.bar instead of http://somehost:61234, no HTTPS because the app doesn't support it natively and I don't have time to roll nginx."

Kubernetes makes this so easy once you get past the YAML and abstractions, so I'll probably FINALLY move this stack over to it. Long overdue.

And this is coming from someone who for the longest time recommended that developers new to containers start with compose before considering Kubernetes!
What does “Classic C++” mean?
We've had multiple bills proposed by multiple countries for government mandated backdoors. Multiple articles refer to how these bills would create backdoors, multiple computer security experts say the bills would create backdoors in the software. Under your definition of the word they'd all be using the word incorrectly because logically no bill could create a legal backdoor by definition.

It's seems there's a semantic schism on "the point in software where security is weak enough (either purposefully or unkowingly) for 3rd party access by a 3rd party" and "the point in software where security is purposefully weakened for 3rd party access by the legal requirement of a 3rd party" there's definitely a distinction but I generally conflate the two, perhaps incorrectly, under the word backdoor.

If you've got another more appropos word for this purposeful and legal weakining of security for non primary user/provider access I'd love to know it because sadly I feel I'd use it fairly often in the coming years.

> It hurts when you see posh privileged urban women having much more chance of getting into a good company than a man who worked his way up through sacrifice.

It's not a gender issue. I would be looking to hire someone competent who works hard, not someone who makes "sacrifices" and then expects a job/promotion.

The latter never works. That's not the work culture in most places. I've seen it many times, people who make "sacrifices", allowing themselves to be exploited, expecting some promotion from it, and are then passed over for someone who actually has demonstrated they are good at the job and ready for more responsibility, and not being a doormat. Then they become resentful.

Don't be bitter. Be better.
Neat. Those genuinely were fun facts!
> "Plastic has already become a new substrate used by argonauts in the Anthropocene era to navigate in surface ocean waters, illustrating the urgent need to reduce plastic pollution in the ocean"

Plastic has enclosures in it's shape, contrary to other material found floating, like branches and wood. Enclosures are great for not getting detected and eaten, and there are octopi which use coconuts for hiding themselves.

I don't know if plastic pollution has proven to be detrimental to aquatic organisms though. Talking about everyday plastic items, like bags, bottles and stuff. Plastic pollution in beaches is definitely an ugly view to the eyes, but i don't know if animals actually die from plastic pollution.

In my mind, fishing lines thrown out in the sea, are a lot more dangerous because they are designed to be very strong, invisible and they stretch for hundreds of meters. These are proven to trap by accident turtles and dolphins.
I have no doubt the author of the press release used LLM to help them, but I'm not convinced that this was fully generated by AI. Since you got me thinking about this more, I decided to run the sentence across my tool with a new prompt that will ask the LLM to decide. Both Claude and Llama believe there is a 55% or more chance while GPT-4o and GPT-4o-mini feel it is less than 55%.

https://app.gitsense.com/?doc=381752be7fd0&prompt=Is+AI+Gene...

I created another prompt that tries to better analyze things and they (models) all agree that it is most likely AI (+60%). The highest was gpt-4o-mini at 83%.

> especially with their strict control of information.

You have gross misunderstanding of how this strict control works. It isn't like novels or North Korea where some govt agency is creating/curating the info.
I don't know if this is a trick but the fast way I did that problem quickly in my head is 20% = (10% X 2) i.e calc 10% of the number then double it.

To quickly calc 10% just multiply the number by 0.1 which you can do by moving the decimal point one place 20,000.00 => 2,000.000 then it is easy to double that number.

to get 4,000.

17% for example is 1.7 x 10%

in this case 1.7 x 2,000 = 3,400
