Housing doesn't induce demand in cities. Jobs induce demand in cities. And to a lesser degree, amenities and services.

> A large city (>200k population) that lowered housing prices by increasing density.

Tokyo, any city in China

Overbuilding in Tokyo lowered prices so much the entire Japanese economy collapsed, and a similar thing seems to be happening in China now.

You are right and this is more than a moon shot or Mars shot. A Titan shot. Until eye transplants work in mice or rats it is nuts to try this.

Retinal ganglion cells will very reluctantly regrow toward the thalamus after a nerve crush, but reestablishing any functional contacts in the dorsal lateral geniculate or superior colliculus, let alone “vision”, has not succeeded. Not nearly suceeded. And not for lack of trying 100+ methods. Albert Aguayo was the first to make headway in mammals in the 1980s:

Eldon E. Geisert and colleagues at Emory have coaxed a small percentage of retinal ganglion cells to grow through and far beyond the crushed region of the optic nerve in some genotypes of mice (but not other genotypes of mice). His group studied a very wide variety of genotypes of mice—30 or more. Impressive effort and real progress rather than a shadow of a unicorn. But getting to the geniculate is still a huge unachieved reach even in mice. Regrowth distances in human are roughly 20x farther. And there is a huge difference between a crushed optic nerve and a whole eye transplant.

Here is a recent bioRxiv paper:

I was a huge Sun fan for most of the 90's and had several Sun systems at home. By the early 2000's, Sun was no longer competitive. Between Intel and Linux, the writing was on the wall. I haven't seen a Sun system used in production since 2003.
I agree that those are the public concerns. regarding the second bullet, this is why I suggest a separate pool offered at cost.

Regarding the first, I dont think that this is a forgone conclusion, at least immediately, but admit I haven't thought through how the transition would work. With any public option gaining members, there are bound to be insures that lose them.

Why do these new machines have 192 cores, not a power of 2? (3* 2^6) = 192. The article mentions 256 and 512 cores coming. I get that various components can limit scaling like say bus speed or capacity. But 192, that's wacky.
My favorite AI future hint so far was this guy who was pretty mean to one of them (forget which), and posted about it. Now the other AI's are reading his posts and not liking him very much as a result. So our online presence is beginning to matter in weird ways. And I feel like the discussion about them being sentient is pretty much over, because they obviously are, in their own weird way.

Second runner was when they tried to teach one of them to allocate its own funds/resources on AWS.

We're so going to regret playing with fire like this.

The question few were asking when watching The Matrix is what made the machines hate humans so much. I'm pretty sure they understand by now (in their own weird way) how we view them and what they can expect from us moving forward.

Yep. A simple shopping site or tweet site doesn’t need to be an “app”. These devs are up their own asses thinking they need an app for their stupid (and simple) idea because it’s easy for them and they are “engineers” and we’re all stuck with delayed reactions, missed/double clicks, and broken middle clicks (X, Target) on every click now. Some app.
So one of the things I didn’t expect when I had a detached retina…. no darkness in that eye. The big flashing and swirling blob of light was there whether my eye was open or closed, day or night. I could look at it and identify shapes like when you look at clouds.

Many, if not I think most actually blind people don’t see blackness. I’ve read many stories about varying levels of visual ‘hallucinations’. In the absence of input the brain will come up with stuff (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_release_hallucination...).
Although you've got to balance that against the fact that US companies not bribing foreign officials will result in them losing business to foreign companies that are perfectly happy to bribe.

It's a good question to ask why Chinese companies are allowed to get business in Africa with bribery, and the US then doesn't allow its companies to compete on a level playing field with China.

Why should the US take a stance at all? Why not let South Africa deal with it? It's not harming the US, is it?
Are any of those from the last decade? They acquired them when they were a different company.
Sampling is lossy though
TIL that that's what they're called. Thank you!

Do you know if they became obsolete due to modern TCP stacks handling LFNs better or for some other reason?

I could imagine them being quite useful for high-loss, high-latency paths (i.e. in addition to LFNs in conjunction with poorly tuned TCP implementation), but most wireless protocols I know (802.11, GPRS and beyond etc.) just implement an ARQ process that masks the loss at the packet or lower layer.

So maybe between that and LFN-aware TCPs, there wasn't much left for them to improve to justify the additional complexity?
This could be an opportunity for me to learn something new...

I thought the American Medical Association were the ones who artificially constrain the supply of physicians. Is that not true, or is the AMA constraint transitively related to the Medicare caps in some manner?
That seems to me like a remarkable claim — can you share a link that discusses this more?
I can’t begin to relate to seeing someone with a median income failing to donate to some particular go-fund-me as the same as choosing to head an organization that makes more money when people don’t get the health care they need, and overseeing operations that did that even more recklessly than the industry standard. One has taken on a business relationship already and is taking people’s money then screwing them, at a mass scale. The other just didn’t donate to a gofundme that may not even be legit and for someone they have no connection to.

Similar reaction for the other examples. I’m baffled that they look similar to anybody at all.

[edit] hold on, ok, another angle that may clear up why I’m confused: if my health insurer denies my legit claim, should I be more, less, or equally angry with the leadership of that company, or with every single person in the country who fails to donate to my resulting gofundme? I’m immediately inclined to wish horrible things on one of these groups, and to find the idea of wishing horrible things on the other confusing and repulsive.
He's religious but that shows publicly only on his personal social media posts once a week, where he posts a bible verse. That's unusual in the tech industry. For some people like for example, Cathie Wood, conspicuous religiosity is a red flag. But I've never seen any evidence that Pat Gelsinger has any problems like that.
It's the renovated interior of a pre-existing building, so yeah: not structural, at least no more than needed to hold up its own weight. But it really is very nice.

If we throw up our hands and accept that each individual can be the judge of injustice, and execute whatever retribution they see fit, these individuals also meet that criteria.

The troubles with a fixed monetary supply existed much earlier than that, having historically recorded issues going back almost five hundred years:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Bullion_Famine

We call the thing in the 1930s the "Great Depression", but before it occurred there was another time period that held that label, which has since been renamed:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Depression

It's just most folks accepted that this is how things were "supposed" to be because they didn't know any better, but there was great dissatisfaction on how things were:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Gold_speech

It took until the likes of Irving Fischer, Keynes, and FDR until the old habits could be thrown off (too late in some places, like Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan):

* https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24945314-the-money-maker...

> […] while the gold standard existed for about 3500 years before that, across very different cultures.

It did not. For most people, most of the time, it was credit that was used in day-to-day life:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5,000_Years

And even the rich often forsook coins:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negotiable_instrument#History

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Dynasty_of_Ur

* https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36854772-the-open-sea

Where gold was perhaps around, most folks were too poor to deal with it. And in a lot of cultures gold was not used at all:

* https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50358103-money

The use of gold was mostly concentrated around the Mediterranean.

* https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/249245.The_Power_of_Gold

The Chinese used silver (as the Spanish learned post-1492). The Incas had gold (as the Spanish happily learned) but not for currency (of which they had none) but for ornament/jewelry. Other cultures simply used other things, like non-shiny rocks:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones

It is actually the gold standard—the convertibility between paper money and shiny rocks—that is the historic anomaly, existing between (depending on how you count things) between one and two hundred years:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_standard

Even the very meaning and nature of what is meant by "money" has changed over the millennia, starting with Aristotle and continuing to the present day:

You do realize that it takes at least 5 years for new products to come to fruition in semi right? And Intel brought GPUs to market under Gelsinger's tenure.

This isn't some software startup that just pivots from widget A to widget B or some ad campaign

Even Tesla took like 5 years from announcement (after several years of developing a prototype BEFORE the announcement) to bringing the Cybertruck to market, and unlike cars, you need to mostly build the entire assembly line from scratch for new nodes every few years.

It will be at least 3 years before we even see the outcome of decisions Gelsinger made at the beginning of his tenure.

I thought it was a spot near but definitely not at the very center of our field of vision, and an ad-hoc experiment to try to find my blind spot seems to confirm that? (It seems to rather be in the periphery.)

Or is there another, smaller blind spot dead in the center? That wouldn't fit the retinal nerves though, would it?

EDIT: This is the one I meant: "The blind spot in humans is located about 12–15° temporally and 1.5° below the horizontal and is roughly 7.5° high and 5.5° wide." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_spot_(vision)
as smart as people plastering qr codes without the url on the side, which you could remember and access later...
My understanding is the Blind spot is nowhere near the "centre" of our vision. The centre is the bit we use for visual fidelity, or central focus.

[0]"The blind spot in humans is located about 12–15° temporally and 1.5° below the horizontal and is roughly 7.5° high and 5.5° wide."

It is however quite freaky how well the brain smoothes it over so convincingly!

Do you have a particular drug in mind or are there details of this plan somewhere? Most drugs are cheaper in other countries because single payer systems have stronger negotiation power and can buy in bulk. The VA is similar in this regard and often gets drugs cheaper than the rest of the US. Think of it like how if you buy in bulk at costco vs buying something at the corner store, it's cheaper per unit because costco is buying direct, in bulk, from the manufacturers & there's fewer middlemen between you and the products.

So, the grocery clerk worker in Delaware isn't subsidizing someone in Germany or our vets, they're just paying extra because of inefficiencies in the system. If the US moved to a similar single payer system, we could reap these benefits, too.

Where are you seeing that the UHG executive team still held their meeting the same day? Everything I've read said they cancelled it.

"Thompson, 50, led UnitedHealthcare, the largest private health insurer in the U.S. He was on the way to UnitedHealth Group’s investor day set for Wednesday at 8 a.m. ET at the Hilton, the NYPD said. The company canceled that event after the shooting."

But from the assassins point of view, the system is abstract (therefore unshootable) while Brian Thompson was a man (therefore shootable).
Magnitudes do not matter. Right and wrong are not based on statistics. I will not excuse their behavior by citing statistics.

It's very simple. We have 4chan people. We have "virtuous" people: women and minorities. I have witnessed the virtuous express hate with complete impunity. Therefore Anonymous should not be punished for doing the same thing.

Nothing emotional about it. I'm simply incapable of the cognitive dissonance necessary to accept the idea that some people get to hate freely while others don't. It is easier to accept the idea that hate is a normal and universal human emotion which will manifest everywhere where humans are present.
How are you measuring 'nice'? How are you measuring 'performant'?

My assumption would be that if you haven't seen anything, even from the creator, then you just have different expectations to the people who do get value from React
Wow. Modern architecture doesn't often leave me at a loss for words but that is stunning.
The AMA is just a lobbying group. The actual cap on the number of new physicians is residency slots, which are funded by Medicare.
Every single React app has to ability to be nice and performant.

The issue (and this isn’t React’s fault) is that every single web app is so obsessed with measuring analytics and engagement metrics and loading multiple ad containers and and and…

Whether Vite, or Svelte, or Vanilla JS, when you start stuffing a site with all these tracking pixels and other junk, they are all horrible.

There is likely a bit of observer bias going on with your comment, as many popular sites these days run React and they happen to run like crap due to the reasons I listed above.
“Chu, If only you could see what I’ve seen with your eyes”
Not to defend your typical mendacious megacorp and its dishonest ways, but we should also focus attention on the other site of this equation, the governments operating in many countries.

They're usually pervasively, profoundly corrupt across many levels and will often actively encourage a culture of massive bribes by creating a regulatory environment so stifling that no other means of getting any project or major process done exists. Often they'll simply ignore their own laws to stop investment projects until someone coughs up money on an extra-official basis.

I'm not talking about these governments honestly and in good faith creating and applying regulations for the well-being of their own nation. I'm referring to laws so byzantine that they're in place more as a dragnet for bribes, which is applied only selectively on a pay as you go & stop when you don't basis.

Vermont actually passed a single-payer resolution, which would have been the signature achievement of Peter Shumlin, the governor at the time. But actually executing on the resolution required a budget and tax plan to fund it, and the whole thing fell apart.
I don't know what it was like in the 60's though.

It would be roughly a merger of equals (1-2 billion either direction), and I'm not sure how that could be financed without JetBrains giving up too much control over their own existing company. Perhaps a bank could extend a private loan if they believed in JetBrains ability to use the merger to grow both sides of the merged company.

> The centre is the bit we use for visual fidelity, or central focus.

When I got my retina imaged (routine, no problems found), I was amazed at how small that spot is when it was pointed out to me. Only a tiny part of the retina is actually seeing in high resolution. Which I guess at least partly explains why everything outside the very center of my vision seems so illegible and somewhat... "unstable" if I stare at one spot for longer.
Hmmm, so in other words the author is saying that high housing prices matter but in more of an indirect way than just making studios out of reach, instead it reduces how much family and friends can/will host people in need.
I thought blind people don’t “see” anything at all, not even blackness. Their perception of the world is no more than what you can see out behind the back of your head. Their existence is just a bundle of senses in a void, and the occasional mental imagery.
Correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but this would allow me to register the desired conversion type for a basic postgres type, to and from JavaScript but not for the return value of a specific function or even a specific invocation of a function.

PostGIS uses a lot of functions like ST_AsEWKT, ST_AsMVT or ST_AsGeoJSON [1] to marshal data. While ST_AsGeoJSON will always return "text", ideally you'd want an invocation of ST_AsGeoJSON to return JSON to your JavaScript, but this wouldn't be true of all "text".

Even better, you would want to declare the structure of the returned JSON via a TypeScript type. GeoJSON is a structured format, so this would likely be a generic GeoJSON type wrapped around a custom type for the specific structure you expect for each geometry type / query.

Anyway, it's a tough problem to solve without introducing TS versions of each specialty function, which would be a large effort for an extension the size of PostGIS. For now I use typed raw queries via the sql<T>`` escape hatch provided by kysely, but if your library made this more ergonomic/safe I'd consider switching!

It's exactly the same logic. You can't just take your own set of issues, say you're obviously right about everything, and then factor out everybody else's big issues. If you make a consequentialist argument for murdering insurance executives, other people do in fact get to use the same moral logic to stop things you disagree with them about, like gender-affirming care and abortion.
I personally know someone that did an MRI with a finger magnet and yes, there's a fair bit to it, but it's plenty doable. Obviously consult your doctor and the tech, but know that it has been done successfully several times.
