I had a gopher in my little back yard recently. I feel your pain. The fucker killed several nice bushes we had and tore up our lawn pretty badly. I tried flooding his tunnels, but the fucker had a plan for that. I injured myself trying to get him with a sharp stick. Gopher 2, me 0. Then we brought in a pro who set a trap in one of the tunnels. That gopher is gone, but the tunnels remain, and after a few months getting my landscaping back together, a new gopher has moved in. God I hate those little assholes especially when they pop their heads out of the ground. They are just so smug about it.
It’s actually really easy to fix that.

You give government right of first refusal on any low density property for sale in california, you get rid of sfh zoning, re-zone anything within 1Km of public transport as high density, and then build mid-rise high density buildings everywhere as you massively expand public transport network.

Within a decade you could have dense efficient cities all over california.

Absolutely not. I'm not even using a VPN or any other method of tunneling into some remote server.

I found on the internet a few similar complaints, like someone in the Netherlands who was suddenly detected as being in Israel; he couldn't find any remedy, but mentioned that "the situation returned to normal in a month or so". But, as I already said, for me it's become more than a curiosity and a minor annoyance, as it's now interfering with my ability to shop online.

As I commented further down, that's true. Although category III is about buildings built before 1953/1945. I just didn't want to give people the impression that Vienna has relatively affordable rents because it has a hard cap on all rents. Newer buildings (not as old as 1953 seems to count as new) with index-bound rents have raised rents quite a bit in the past 5 years and have made Altbau very sought-after.
The only thing that matters are the claims. You have to read and analyze them in order to understand where the legal IP fence is being built. If you are not used to reading and dissecting patents the claims can be difficult to understand.

Small desktop-class fans, sure. But when you're talking 1U or 2U rack-mounted systems with high speed (>10k RPM) counter-rotating fans, they often suck tens of watts each. And usually in those systems there are at least four, sometimes six, often eight. So it's reasonable to think that bringing down overall compute load over hundreds of systems would cut out a significant, measureable chunk of energy usage in just moving air.

> hallmark of civilization is right in the etymology -- the existence of cities.

That is not really the etymology of "civilisation" though. City and civilisation share etymological roots, but city is not the etymological origin of the world civilisation.

And of course then we just ask the question: what are cities? Do gopher, or prairie dog colonies count? (or are those just towns? :)) How about ant colonies or bee hives?

Clearly all of the above share some similarities with some human settlements. They also have important differences of course. So if we want to decide if there are other "civilisations" on Earth parallel with us, we have to be more precise with our definitions.

Living thousands of kilometers away, this bank looks to me to be located in Canada's part of the Point Roberts peninsula. So maybe ChatGPT was not so wrong?
One's relationship with the topic probably has a lot to do with how the title is interpreted. I grew up not-too-far from Mount St. Helens and was of school age not-too-long after the eruption, so it had an indirect impact upon my life. I immediately understood what they were getting at. Likewise, the people who did the research and the people who wrote the article had a closer relationship to the topic, so they title made sense. To someone who was more distant, in time or space, I can see how the title may be misleading now that it has been pointed out.

So no, I don't think the title was designed in such a way.
Thanks, I appreciate it!

Again, it's a major ISP, and I've been with them for the past 20 years. They've been using the same allocated IPs since the early Nineties - and EVERY detection services correctly assigns those IPs to my ISP, in my region.

My 5 visits to NYC all happened before smart phones were ubiquitous and I never got lost. Of course the 3 am case might be an exception. I don't think the system has become worse, but the average user has just become more helpless.

I recently travelled 2 weeks by train in foreign countries. I did not turn on GPS a single time. It's just a cause and symptom of helplessness if people need that. Yes, I used my phone to make hotel reservations. 20 years ago I did the same using tourist offices, phone books and payphones. But the difference is really marginal. Travelling was not a problem without smart phones.

On an intelligent level I believe it's wrong to inseminate cows so they produce milk, but I still won't stop drinking it. Because I am lazy and comfortable in my ways. And that's what I believe most people are, even if they won't admit to it.

Yeah this is one area it really struggles. I built a harness (using SST, actually!) for things like step functions, background jobs, cron-ed tasks that I'll try to open source once I clean it up a bunch.

I kind of see that as an unforced error on SLS's side as well; AWS EventBridge is pretty simple and would make those types of workflows possible, but the integration with SLS is really rough.
Sorry I should have read it completely and not just skim through it. I would still complain with the ISP.
I've got a stub binder that started having print outs of tickets in it or post-it notes. When I would go back to see what I've been to and get a burst of nostalgia, I'd just get mad at the lack of ticket instead of the good memory. Having one that looks and feels like the real thing let me move on from that.

There are a lot of folks who feel like the object obtains some "magical aura" by physically being at a concert with you, and that's ok, but for me, it's just a way to remember the show and keep track of everything I've been to. I go to enough shows that a single ticket isn't like a massive special memento, which may be the case for the person who goes to like one show a year.

> The current world economy is built on the assumption that the population pyramid is a pyramid

And this is an economic system problem. The solution to an economic problem is not more people

The solution to an economic problem is revamping the economic system aka more share of wealth going to average people than merely the wealthy sitting on compounding growth.
It's not locking the UI refresh, it is only locking the access token refresh.

Let's play it out.

- User authenticates, gets an access token A1 and a refresh token R1. R1 is one time use only.

- A1 and R1 are stored as cookies (secure and httponly to prevent XSS).

- A1 is used to access multiple APIs, but is only good for 5 minutes.

- The SPA opens up a new tab for whatever reason, so the browser is making requests to the APIs from both tabs (T1 and T2)

- 5 minutes passes, and T1 tries to call an API. The API call fails because A1 is not valid. T1 then makes a request to the OAuth server with R1, which returns a new access token (A2), a new refresh token (R2) and invalidates R1.

- 0.1 seconds later, T2 tries to call an API with A1, and also discovers it needs to get a new access token. It tries to use R1, but R1 is invalid because it has already been used

With this locking API, T1 could lock access to R1 when it was about to use it. T2 would then see the lock request fail, and not try to use R1. After R2 has been stored, T2 could use R2 (or T2 could use A2).

You can pass off practically any attempt to control reality as an “exercise in ego”. There’s very little harm to be done and very much to learn when it’s done at a small scale. I’d be more cautious with mass mammoth deployments, though.

That said, in this particular instance, they should have started with horses and painted some stripes for a roughly equivalent result.
There's still a ton of room left in short error-correcting RLHF or fine-tune cycles.

I expect there will be, at some point, "trusted" or "verified" accounts that are able to flag a completion as wrong, and provide it with a correct completion, which will be collated and used (daily? hourly?) to fine-tune the weights. Active inference cluster would be switched as A/B/C etc.

You can absolutely run .NET (ex-Core) applications without a system install.
I'd be more concerned about pricing and vendor lock-in.

Haven't tried SST though. I doubt if it works always flawlessly because even plain old terraform might get stuck in complicated dependency graphs failing to destroy or create/recreate resources.

1. I see what you mean. Without a dual gantry it'd first move the taken piece off of the board and abandon it, then move the capturing piece. The meantime'd be awkward. Perhaps he could move the piece to the corner of the current square, move the capturing piece in, then move the captured piece off the board. That'd be slow and tedious to watch. So. No great solution, which was your point I think.

2. Personally I thought this implementation demonstrated this pretty reasonably both with castling and with moving the knight. He kinda "cheats" in that his squares are pretty large compared to the pieces, so the jumping piece can just travel /between/ ranks and files. Seems pretty nice to me.
My screen realestate changes several times a day. My work daily driver is a laptop that has a built in screen of a particular resolution. In the office it plugs into a dock with one monitor that has a different resolution than the built-in display. When I take it home and plug it into a dock it has two external monitors of different resolutions.

Icons need arrangements in each combination of monitors, resolutions, and scaling. So that when I'm sitting at my desk in the office I have a consistent experience of icon location. When I'm at home and have different screen layout, I can have a different icon layout suited to that screen layout and everytime I plug the dock in at home I should get the same arrangement that I had yesterday. If there's a new icon that has never been placed in a particular desk setup, drop it anywhere.
The immediate question that comes to mind for me is where would they live? Usually if they die off it's because they lost their habitat to some destructive force. Their evolutionary advantage or balance is gone. So even if they were the original animal brought back from extinction, what's to keep them from dying out again.
As I've been thinking about transparency and accountability within governments and organizations, I went into the article expecing something I had never pondered about those subjects.
> city is not the etymological origin of the world civilisation

Civilisations are a subset of societies [1]. Urbanisation is commonly held as a divider between complex societies and full-blown civilisations.

> then we just ask the question: what are cities?

This is valid. I’d say the defining attribute is economies of scale. Ant colonies and bee hives demonstrate elements of this; the sum is greater than the whole.

Whether ants and bees form complex societies is less debatable, unless we reduce the terms to mean intricate where we begin enveloping colonies of trees and every social animal, potentially even just multicellular life, which while poetically pleasing isn’t useful.

Well if you've got a pile of ticket stubs that you've been collecting for 20 years and suddenly you can't keep that tradition alive, it kind of ticks you off. Sure you can start adding printed photos or something else, but it ruins your consistent collection and/or your streak.

I specifically have a ticket stub binder and seeing blank spots, or print outs or post it notes just made me mad instead of nostalgic. I can't shove tour posters or tshirts in there, so this was the solution for me. I have over 200 band tshirts, but I don't buy one at every show.

Never discount the power of a streak or continuing a tradition or collection. I just talked to a guy the other day whose jar of ticket stubs is his prized collection, even if he never opens it to reflect. Some people go to one concert every few years, others go to shows and games every week.
Notetaking in Semantic Triples
Coolest thing I've seen all day. Thanks!
> design language around scrolling in modern UIs just doesn't seem to be a real problem (outside of accessibility, obviously, which needs special attention regardless)

This is another difference between the mentality today vs. the mentality back then. Accessibility should not need "special" attention. It should be baked into the product. Enough users lack the ability to comfortably drag while clicking, that you don't want to first release a product that doesn't work for them, and then later fix it as a bug. You need to consider Accessibility from day one, during the early design. Just like you need to consider security vulnerabilities and user privacy from day one. They're not things that get tacked on at the end.

But this example isn't even about considering Accessibility holistically. The devs just flat out -removed- the scroll end caps from the product! This wasn't an oversight or some UX over-eager designer accidentally going overboard. They deliberately went out of their way to remove a standard control.
You're right, a new IP from their pool should take care of this issue. Thing is, I'd like to know what could've possibly made Google think my current IP is in EE? what did I do to make Google Search - and ONLY Google Search think that?
Fair point.

It's not only buildings built before 1953/1945 though, social housings (Wohnungen in gefördert errichteten Mietwohnungshäusern mit mehr als 2 Mietgegenständen) are capped as well.
Exactly - it's all about maintaining a diverse gene pool across the whole of the tree of life, rather than focussing on particular things like a hairy elephant ( mammoths are 99% similar to current elephants at the genome level ).

There is no point in bringing back a mammoth when the environment it would require to thrive doesn't really exist anymore - particularly with the rapid warming of the Russian tundra.

However sometimes you do need high profile mascots in order to get the funds/build broad support for, the more mundane work. It's a balance.
They'll be vastly less effective in the age of precision guided bombs and missiles. The locations of the existing factories are already well known and not disguised and China/Russia can use their satellites to find any new built factories as well.

This is a slightly silly discussion because the 'civilization' the Silurian hypothesis is concerned with is something like human civilization as a whole.

Whether pastoralists are a 'civilization' (or even more fraught, 'civilized') seems like a completely arbitrary distinction to try to make, especially on the basis of something like 'cities'. The ability to organize, direct, coordinate, supply and project military power over great distances is a hallmark of plenty of things we think of as 'civilizations' and the Mongols were easily the world heavyweight champion of that, in their day. A great number of people found out the fact a stone wall is much harder to move than a yurt is not the tremendous civilizational advantage they thought it was.
The people who want to revive the woolly mammoth want to release them into the Siberian Steppe to restore grassland to fix carbon into the earth.
