Suburbs efficiently filter out poor people. To live in suburbs, you have to sustain a particular burn rate. You (or your parents) also have to have had enough money to get and keep paying the mortgage.

College kids hope to make it big, or at least big enough to afford a pampered expensive living among other such people. It's not an unreasonable hope to have. Some of course dream to live in a penthouse on top of a skyscraper, but that's much less realistic.

(Of course there are poor suburban areas with rundown houses and clunker cars, but it's not where the college kids aspire to go.)

Dense walkable cities are few in the US; they predate the advent of the car, and accepted a lot of immigrants when Ellis Island was still open for "the wretched refuse" [1]. After WWII, a lot of better-off families moved to suburbs, but the worse-off had to stay.

It does not help that some cities, in a misguided attempt to not trample on the rights of the destitute, or maybe out of incompetence, don't keep their streets clean, and even don't enforce the law. The authorities of San Francisco are, of course, way ahead of the pack; what they have done to their once-beautiful city tarnishes the reputation of cities as the form of living.

(Disclaimer: I live in NYC, take subway and/or buses every day, walk for my grocery shopping, don't own a car, etc, and love it. Politically not left-wing though.)

I think that comparing children to private parts or intimacy is a symptom of the current hysteria about pedophilia. We are so conditioned to wanting to protect children and being terrified of being accused of being a pedo yourself. It's probably how the Salem witch hysteria was. What if it's possible to see children simply as smaller people, and not jump to hysterics upon seeing people in their family? If there was a naked kid in the bathtub or something you could report it (they have AI that can detect this anyway).
I have met a few of the luminaries of the third generation of "the devil's NLP" and I've learned enough speed hypnosis to call up people like that and get them to send me a free copy of their latest training materials but this does not help me with picking up girls.

On one hand I am trained as a physicist and work as a computer programmer and have a lot of respect for arch-reductionists like Forester and Minsky but I also have an a schizotypal brain that causes me to have unusual experiences: I have a knack for dowsing rods, pendulums, ouija boards and the like even if I don't believe in them.

Korzybski is an interesting case because you cannot get a good edition of his Science and Sanity so it is not possible to evaluate his work as a whole. I'd agree with L. Ron Hubbard (half jokingly) that Korzybski did not develop a workable system but Korzybski asked interesting questions and in some sense has less bullshit per mile than most approaches to getting more out of the human nervous system (e.g. I had a therapist who gave me CBT worksheets that Korzybski would have been giving out had he attained the "workable system")
I would argue the opposite. If you compare US dollar to every other currency the value of their currency has decreased a lot compares to US dollar. This would be a plus to hold US dollar as their own currency has depreciated and holding more dollars has helped them reduce their losses. But it has one down side is that if you hold too much US dollar the country exposes itself to US monetary policy.
I'm not really sure since I was a kid so long ago, but perhaps Python or VB.net or Javascript like OP's son.
Interesting, although I do still suspect that the trend is to just piggy back onto one of the large well-respected ones.

For example, I do believe that Opera used to have their own (while they were still doing well), but they seem to be using Chrome these days [1]:

If redevelopment is the assumed outcome of the zoning change, then that means the single-family suburb is existing in spite of market demands, held back only by such zoning laws preventing denser development.

I don't know the specific situation there, and I'm not saying that shouldn't ever exist, but it's worth considering why we are using zoning to preserve artificial anti-density in a place that has grown to demand higher housing density, and what the effects are of doing so on a widespread basis.

The immediate first order consequence would be higher housing prices, which seems to be the case across the US, with the cost of housing increasing much more rapidly than overall inflation or wages.
The key difference, though, as you pointed out, was the price. These analog synths were incredibly expensive, which limited their accessibility to major artists

I'm a physician. Agree with your comment... in a statistical sense this relates to screening test characteristics. As the sensitivity of a test increases, the specificity decreases.

A good example is screening for atrial fibrillation, an abnormal heart rhythm that is not uncommon especially as you age. All our guidelines right now on treatment and stroke prevention (a potential consequence of AF) is based on the population who is currently most often diagnosed - symptomatic patients with palpitations, or lightheadedness, or chest pain, which provokes them to see a physician.

If everyone is now wearing an Apple watch and suddenly we have 2x or 10x the number of people diagnosed with AF, our current evidence about the benefits of treatment suddenly do not apply, because these newly found patients would never have been included in the original studies.

So what do we do with these (presumably lower risk) patients? No one yet knows.

> That said, I know nix pretty well at this point and I would probably have a different opinion if I hadn’t spent so much time learning nix.

Yeah, I'm in exactly the opposite boat—I've been using docker professionally and at home for 5+ years now and know it very well, while nix is still very new to me!

There's probably no way to objectively tell which one we'd have preferred if we started in the opposite order.
This seems incongruous:

> most people have zero investments outside their house.

> stock market (even though many people's pensions are tied to it)

To the extent the average American has any non-house investments, they consist of retirement savings in (defined contribution) pension accounts. How does this differ from your description of the average European?

>There's extreme wealth inequalities between EU countries (we're talking about one order of magnitude in the extreme cases), language barriers are the main things holding back the demographic crisis that would come from mass economic immigration within the EU.

But that was the whole point of EU's existence: to make it easy for people to move countries. Do you claim that removing extra point of friction will make things somehow worse?
Inflation wasn't caused by the low interest rate and raising the interest rate didn't fix inflation.
> >Apparently, after termination of show after the move, the object is invalidated. This does not affect the Person object, but only the string object. Recognize that I speak about a factual behavior on the hardware. I think we have undefined behavior here. And no compilation error.

You're right to pick up on this. The author of the article is confused here, or at least using incorrect terminology. There's certainly no "undefined behaviour" going on.

But your corrections aren't quite right either, or at least use slightly odd definitions.

> User-defined classes may be coded to be left in either valid or invalid states after being moved.

No, even user defined classes have to be valid after a move, because their destructor will still be run. If you had your own vector-like class that points to invalid memory (or the same memory as the moved-to object) then you will get corruption when its destructor tries to free that memory.

Ok, it's true that you could manually define an "invalid" state in your class, perhaps by adding an internal Boolean flag which you set when the object is moved from. Then you could throw an exception or abort or whatever when any method (except the destructor) is called with this flag set. But you'd have to go out of your way to do this and I've never seen it done. I don't think this is what most people would understand your statement to mean.

> The std::string is not invalidated, it's reset to its empty state (i.e. null pointer and zero length).

I'm not sure whether you're implying this is a strict requirement or just happens to be what happened in this case. In fact, the standard does not require this: the string could be left in any (valid, whatever that means) state. It could be empty, unchanged, or anything else. As other comments have noted, if the string's length is below the short string optimisation threshold then it's quite likely the original string will retain its value unchanged. Only a few specific types in the standard library have the guarantee that they will be empty after being moved from, and string isn't one of those.

I'm sure there are many counter-examples as well.

It's not good or bad, just very logical that people who don't want Google are the ones who get a HTTP timeout or a lockup every time they try to send a request to Google.
The best presentation I ever saw was done by a colleague of Mikel Harry's at a Six Sigma conference in Frankfurt. The presenter had no ready made slides but he had an overhead projector, three transparencies, a handful of dry marker pens, and an eraser. As he spoke he sketched charts and diagrams to illustrate his points. If an audience member asked a question he was able to provide an answer in both words and with another sketch.

> there are plenty of cases where people break the law in a socially regulated way and society doesn't enter into some sort of chaos.

You're talking about civil disobedience here, which typically doesn't involve murder.

> (how is lethal injection different than assassination? I think it's basically the same)

I'm opposed to capital punishment, but I see a huge difference between the two even though they both involve killing someone. The death penalty only comes after a legal process and court deliberation. Assassination is unregulated. That's a pretty large distinction.

> Don't you think that the regular expectation of this might make them a little less blood-sucking?

No, I don't. It would make them do their bloodsucking differently in order to minimize their risk, but I don't think it would make them cut back.
This argument falls apart when it comes to explaining the $1.4Trn market which is just IT/tech services, the providers of most of which are offshore even when the tech developed is American. By your logic the massive IT Services/Consulting industry that is driving India's economy is actually bad for the country and that it should go back to being a cluster of low-tech poor third-world villages.

The business I mentioned depend on American infra which depends on Chinese components that run, often, open source code written by Americans, Europeans, Russians, and many others. It’s a globalised world. But your claim was that EU has an environment that can’t sustain or cultivate new successful businesses. Evidence suggests that is not the case.

Countries with a strong social safety net are not experiencing the stagnation in quality of life you describe. Once again, look at the evidence. There are various quality of life indices.

Sorry but chasing money at every opportunity does not lead to better outcomes. This is very evident in capitalist western countries now with record inequality, private capital dictating politics, CEO and other shootings in the streets, healthcare poverty and so on. I’m not against capitalism as many EU welfare states are still fundamentally capitalist, but I’m just saying the quality of life claim doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.

Yeah, you need an accountant and a lawyer to do business across the single market if you don’t want to learn the local laws. I don’t think you wouldn’t in the US though. Compare and contrast CA consumer and corporate laws to TX laws. They are quite different. You would benefit from a lawyer. They aren’t that expensive in the EU compared to running a business though — I currently retain a lawyer for €2.5k per year. So about €200 per month. This is from a private corporate law firm in Eastern Europe. They prepare 4-5 documents every year for statutory needs for that price and do an excellent job. If your business has at least 5 employees or meaningful investment (VC, angel, etc), this becomes a negligible cost. You are totally right that dealing with bureaucracy in the EU is a total headache, as I believe it is in Cali and so on. But I claim that this headache can be removed with a minor expense and therefore it is not a meaningful obstacle.
I believe that the appropriate response isn't to get upset about it, but to chalk it up to another article meant to mislead in the avalanche that are printed daily. I mean not only is the number meaningless without the context of relative deviation, as you point out, but new signups aren't addressed either. The article is clickbait in total.
Using lethal force to defend yourself from lethal force is not, in my opinion, "acting hastily". If you're talking about using lethal force as a reaction to just property crime, though, I think that is morally indefensible.

These kinds of tone-deaf comments try have no place in 2024 when discussing Health Care.

We're not talking about quality, we're talking about accuracy.

In general, a model has to learn to positively say "I don't know" instead of "I don't know" being in the negative space of tokens falling into a weak distribution. The softmax selector also normalizes the token logits, so if no options are any good (all next tokens suck) it could pick randomly from a bunch of bad choices, which then locks the model into a continuation based off of that first bad choice.
Even 16% seems too high.
Um, yeah. Police misbehavior (not just this particular flavor) is a big problem. Always has been, probably always will be. Upstream, the cause is lack of serious oversight; upstream of that is basic human nature:

- Loads of people are really attached to their beliefs that the police are magically pristine. If serious oversight is suggested, then they'll push back, drag their feet, and eagerly buy into any half-assed excuse that's offered for opposing such oversight.

- Loads of people understand that the police often misbehave...but they quietly figure that such misbehavior is a net gain for "the right sort of people". Which, conveniently, includes them. So they follow their own self-interest.

- Loads of people are angry about police misbehavior...but their willingness (and ability) to do anything about it does not extend beyond "complain loudly" and "voice support for simple quick fixes". Outside of their in-group, those don't attract serious support.

- A few people think that police misbehavior is a serious problem, and are willing to provide ongoing support for the serious oversight that's needed to minimize it. Occasionally, in places, these folks gain enough power to actually fix the problem. Or mostly fix. For a while.
ps don't thread if you don't see all the options, they show/hide based on your choice :D

I should have done a better job of adding some caveats to my recommendation of Jung- for example that his perspectives are indeed heavily biased through the lens of his own philosophy, and he mostly ignores things important to Nietzsche that don't relate to his own interests.

However, this type of sneering/mocking tone is unbecoming of HN discussions, and goes against the HN community guidelines.

Well, in part it's the age-long debate about scientists being held responsible for the effects of their research.

In other part, it's also that the bad consequence of what the "suits" ask the "nerds" to do are becoming increasingly more visible and obvious than before.

Of course science is still helping. But it's also hurting. And I would argue that for lots of folks, the hurting is more obvious and tangible than the help.
