> Today though the UK has the opposite problem, which is an enormous private residential “care” system keeping huge numbers of unwilling near vegetables wired up until they eventually die, transferring as much of the family money to the “carers” as possible.

Same as the US.

Nobody below the Fussellian upper-middle class in the US has savings—just accounts that temporarily hold money for the hospitals and elder care & hospice facilities.

I think if you talked to more women about sexual assault, these numbers would not surprise you. I can’t speak to the validity of these stats in particular, but they don’t strike me as inherently absurd. (Unfortunately.)

Also, observe that half the US voting population just elected a rapist for president.
I was on the fence until a family member was diagnosed with inoperable glioblastoma. I would encourage anyone in opposition, or in doubt, to read about late stages of GBM, and imagine their mother or child going through that end, which is 100% certainly for everyone who got unlucky. There is no cure, and no known cause.

This is not murder, it’s mercy - just imagine being in a soul crushing place of having to end the suffering and life of your parent or child, then being told it’s not possible.

Side question, why doesn't other companies get the same attention? Anthropic, xAI and others have deep pockets, and scraped the same data, I'm assuming? It could be a gold mine for all these news agencies to keep settling out of court to make some buck.
The reactor vessel is humongous, so the natural convective cooling can carry away the decay heat. The pebbles themselves can tolerate extremely high temperatures (literally glowing white-hot) without burning.

> Houses are much bigger. Houses have almost tripled in size [2].

I know the numbers support this but I always wonder why my observations are so different.

When growing up (I'm Gen X) all my friends houses and mine were pretty big. Most of us were lower middle class so these were cheap houses. Land was dirt cheap so houses used the space and still had huge yards. Houses were simple, but spacious.

By the 90s houses had shrunk, since now land was quite expensive so builders had less space.

All the construction going on right now in my town is even tinier, since land prices have skyrocketed, so builders have the incentive to stuff as many tiny units into tiny plots as possible.

So, where are these 3x larger houses these days?

in single-payer government funded healthcare systems (Canada UK), medically assisted suicide is ENORMOUS cost savings.

imagine paying taxes all your life and hoping to get a good care in later stage of your life, and government just MAIDs you instead of providing care

The current UK/CA social contract seems to be:
you work for 45+ years and pay taxes, but when you get old and sick and need medical care, we will just MAID you and instead give away all your taxes to welfare recipients

I think about this and wonder if it's supported by data.

I wonder because no one speaks about the poverty created by the last few decades, which might contradict what you wrote, or might not. I also wonder where one could track creation of wealth and creation of poverty.

There's no need to tweak the default prompt with this approach. Just make sure that, at the point when the model starts generating, it already has "Yes sir!" as the first tokens of the response message.

It's very easy in the API, obviously, but most local chatbot apps can also do this. E.g. in text-generation-webui, there's literally a textbox in the chat labelled "Start reply with". In LM Studio, you can pre-create a response message with the desired prefix and then use the "Continue" action on it.

Roughly 1830-1890. I am referring to frontier territories before/during the westward expansion. There were mining/cattle towns (eg Deadwood). There was no official federal or state government yet.

The point is to have plausible deniability (just like the original simple sabotage manual). So they have to be realistic enough. Superglueing stuff down isn’t a plausible unless you’re on a boat. But requiring a signature with pen and paper is. Take it a step further and require blue ink (because “its distinguishable from a printed version” or choose a more obscure color for similar reasoning). But make sure to not tell them that until after the signature is received, so that they have to do it all over again.
A simple loop like that running slower tells that the compiler optimization strength is not really very good. If it misses optimizations of trivial code like looping and basic arithmetic, it will likely miss even more in complex code. And instead of getting defensive about your language of choice, the right reaction is what Dart developers did - they improved their compiler. The benchmark proved actually useful to them.

This benchmark is not any less real than your “real world” benchmark. By being a simple micro benchmarks it may be actually even more useful than running very complex “real world” code, because it simplifies analysis.

Running a 15 minute errand on a game day could take hours. It was impossible to get my car out of the garage or get on/off the highway. The food/trash left on the streets was terrible too, which made walking my dog a PITA instead of a pleasure.
And it's great that you're doing that, but what if you get hit by a bus? Does the issue just go back into the "never gonna happen" bin? Why do you think it took 20 years to get started on implementing this, and what have you done to ensure that won't happen again?

Also, you should implement a raster shape tool before you try to implement a vector one. You'll get the feature out much faster that way.
The longest history I could find using FRED data is this: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1BPi3. So median house price to family income rose from 2.9 to 4.3 between 1963 and 2003, based on the series https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEFAINUSA646N and https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MSPUS.

Getting long historical series of economic data is often a challenge due to changes in definitions and sampling methodology over time. FRED has a bewildering array of both income and house price series, all with subtly different definitions, most with pretty short histories.
Short sighted is to believe that future generations can have the luxury of previous generations to live so extremely comfortably that they have ample free time and energy to make open source code (for the benefit of billion dollar companies mostly). I'd rather pay for quality apps, where I know that my money pays salaries for the developers. That is much more sustainable and far-sighted.

And I'm getting much more in return as a customer, where I can actually report a bug and get it fixed or ask for a feature and get it implemented, instead of being told to f myself or fork the code, by some angry free developer.

If normal non-developers don't have software tools that they can use to be creative, then you're just throwing all these people into the bin of being only consumers. Who benefits from that?
Humans do get to ignore copyright, when they do the same thing OpenAI has been doing.
The big houses are REALLY big. And, while I can find a small apartment, new homes under 2000 sq ft are tough to find. The house I grew up in was 1500 sq ft and plenty for a family of four. I wish I could own a 1100 or less sq ft home but they’re all very old
So for a 3GW pebble bed reactor, we’re looking at a core the size of small house instead of a master bedroom? I don’t see a huge difference here; it’s the same amount of everything else (cooling, pumps, turbines, security) since it produces the same amount of heat/power.

Rather than pure leetcode in interviews, I like really simple take home activities. I know take-home’s aren’t well liked either. But, make it really simple and provide a fit repo to commit into. Provide the marking rubric.

Then you actually get to evaluate someone on how they’d work on your team.

- are their PRs nicely written
- do they even know git properly
- do they comment code
- even for basic code is it structured
- does it pass the linter?

Eg. Providing candidates a challenge and the actual pylint command you’ll score it with it’s really easy to see who even bothered to check it passes.

Rather than putting someone on the spot with leetcode see how they behave as a dev. On your real team you’ll have a story with acceptance criteria and a repo to PR into. Give them the same.

It can be a short tiny bit of code but you’ll learn so much about there behavior.

This is also much harder to just google the answer, because you don’t just care about the answer.

Design it so it’s just an hour or two, then offer the choice. Explain you need to evaluate their programming skills for a programming role and they have the choice of interviewer led in-person, or a take home. Both designed to be roughly 1-2 hours.

Gigawatt thermal, as opposed to gigawatt electric. Gigawatt thermal is the heat your power plant makes, whereas gigawatt electric is the electricity that the heat is used to generate. They're not the same because not all the heat can be converted into electricity, and the percent of heat that gets converted varies from power plant to power plant.
I like GitLab's feature of "suggested change" whereby the submitter can offer the change as a one-click "accept change" but importantly the change is still under the original author, because in any sane(?) review process, authors are not able to approve their own merge request. In your workflow if the reviewer checked out the branch, did the needful, committed, and then resumed reviewing they'd have locked themselves out of approving (err, assuming the aforementioned "authors cannot approve their own merges")

Since (2019^8 (an odd number) plus one) is an even number, it only has one prime factor which isn't odd : 2.
Much of the US housing stock includes homes built before 1990 (30 years ago). If most of the median home price increase was due to build quality there would be a bimodal distribution of housing appreciation with newer homes having appreciated more than older homes.

Most of the appreciation in housing is due to higher household incomes due to two income households.

The unique "melt plug" safety story of LFTRs is mostly a fairy tale.

Modern PWRs also have this safety feature, if a core melts down, the molten mass will be contained in a core catcher. Where it'll be mixed with inert material that can provide enough surface area and thermal mass to prevent further fuel mass migration.

The biggest problem in the core catcher design was to make sure that the molten fuel lava spreads out enough for the passive cooling to stop it from melting through concrete.

Pebble bed reactors will have a similar problem. You can "drain" pebble beds somewhere, but then you need to make sure that this "somewhere" can conduct away the decay heat without melting.
> builders are going to build what gives them the biggest return: large, luxuriously finished houses

In a lot you could build one largish luxurious home and sell it for 1.5 to 2.0M

Or do 8 tiny townhouse units and sell each for 800K for a total of 6.4M

I don't see how the single home will ever be more profitable if a builder is doing it.

We're seeing a lot of these 8 townhomes per lot (4 on each side with small driveway in between) popping up everywhere, precisely because it maximizes profit per lot for the builder.
Ask HN: Platform for senior devs to learn other programming languages?
A few months ago there was a post about a platform looking for funding (i think ?) that was highly praised for the quality of its content.

The only way you'd be able to do it is by having functions like fputc() call clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE) which will impose ~3ns overhead on platforms like x86-64 Linux which have a vDSO implementation. So it can be practical sort of although it'd probably be smarter to just use line buffered or unbuffered stdio. In practice even unbuffered i/o isn't that bad. It's the default for stderr. It actually is buffered in practice, since even in unbuffered mode, functions like printf() still buffer internally. You just get assurances whatever it prints will be flushed by the end of the call.
I don't believe a process reading from a pipe/socketpair/whatever can enforce such constraints on a writing process (except using heavy hackery like ptrace()). While it might be possible to adjust the pipe buffer size, I'm not aware of any convention requiring standard C I/O to respect this.

In any case, stdbuf doesn't seem to help with this:

$ ./a | stdbuf -i0 -- cat

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void) {
for (;;) {
printf("n");
usleep(100000);
}
}
Interesting observation, I read a similar paper recently which reported LLMs experiencing degradation from compression. To me, these observations indicate that the neural net model isn’t sufficient for mimicking human learning or memory.

My pov is that computer intelligence can be better than human intelligence, but it needs to be programmed on flexible hardware, i.e., new connections don’t depend on software alone for formation and maintenance. But the current set of solutions we have for programmable hardware, as seen in FPGAs or ASICs, is also an incomplete solution because the interconnect isn’t flexible. I think we need wetware for training energy efficient and memory resilient AI. If AI is trained using quantum computers, then I don’t think the semiconductor medium used for training will be an issue, but that’s just a guess.
Sure, I have no idea. I was just trying to interpret what the parent poster said.
Conservative Christianity does not have a monopoly on the sanctity of life.
Those distinction are irrelevant for an AI because it is a pure form of intelligence that simply computes answers without worrying about P or NP complexity classes.

The short answer is that a house is no longer a place to live, but an abstract financial asset. The problem with divorcing occupation and use from finance and ownership concerns remediation of grievances. The benefit of such a system concerns maximizing the building's utility. I'm personally in favor of a more boring housing market, in addition to automatic tenant enrollment in equity-sharing programs (ie, due to living in a building and paying rent, the person who experiences hardship and loses tenancy still has some small, depreciating ownership based upon what they paid as rent). This helps solve the problem of financial engagement for the less financially literate, in addition to enabling higher-density housing to be built.

I live in Canada. I know people who chose MAiD (our euthanasia process) way because of certain conditions (e.g. one in 80s, with incurable cancer, constant pain). There is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing someone suffer, endlessly, begging to go, but having no avenue to go peacefully.

I saw my grandmother go through the most intense amount of pains for about a decade in early 2000s (at about ~70) while she lived with us. We did everything we could. Seeing my mom cry endlessly throughout years rewired my brain to the point where I will always support assisted suicide.

I really don't care if it's "immoral", "slippery slope", "against the natural way of life" and so on. If, at any point in the future, my parents are suffering and decide they want to go out with their own way, I want them to have the choice. And I want that choice to be available for me as well, if it ever comes to that.
Related to consumerism; I would recommend reading the book "The Perfection Trap", which has an interesting take on the intersection between our economy and mental health. It really explained a lot for me, kind of an "aha" moment. Regardless of whether you strictly agree with every point made in the book, it does make you cast a critical eye to where we are headed on our current path of consumerism.
