I like it, its cringe but not too cringe. Its a cool concept and might find 50 bucks to throw at a dumb coin.

Reminds me of being into crypto in like 2017 vs 2024.
Beijing has 5 urban ring roads and 2 ex-urban ones. Housing is still expensive, but a lot of apartments are just investments. At least the official homeless rate is zero, and lots of people can find affordable subterranean rooms for rent (ant tribe housing).
What collective reaction? Sounds like you're in a bubble.

I have observed both responses. There are lots of people basically celebrating murder (sometimes veiled behind thin excuses and wordplay). There are lots of people condemning it too. Most people (not terminal social media dwellers) seem to be in the latter group, thankfully.
Ah. That’s interesting!

I live in India so I will explore on it more in the local context. Thanks for this comment. Though I hope that liver function reduction is nothing bad (though don’t really have inclination to get into whiskey again :P)

Also, might be a good time to get some tests done and see everything is fine. It’s been 2.5 years.
> People should not kill law abiding citizens they disagree with because everyone has a different opinion.

That's not what happened.

Brian Thompson isn't a "law abiding citizen I disagree with" he's a law abiding citizen who killed people. If you or your loved one died because of his actions, would you "have a disagreement with him"? Is that what you'd call that?

You sound like someone who might be intrigued about what I'm building.

Raw SQL (or PL/pgSQL which can be quite powerful) with generated, type-safe client "bindings" (TypeScript functions). It also includes "declarative SQL schema" (instantly update the schema of your dev DB on file save). Generated migrations and "seed scripts" are also on the roadmap.

If any of that interests you, check it out (https://github.com/pg-nano/pg-nano). I would also love to discuss it with whoever's reading this on Discord (@aleclarson).

Some people prefer that their passwords not be public information.

Non-YIMBY… there’s got to be a better term for this…

I was hoping this would be about society at large.

It's ridiculous the amount of money spent, people's time spent, all on a quest to make the world an uglier and more hostile place.

Hardly.

Intel has fabs and, as we found out from Covid, we don't have capacity in old nodes either. Intel can very much still print money.

Fabless companies are really cool--until shit hits the fan and nobody will run your chips anymore--but, hey, who cares, it's not like that ever happens, right? I mean you'd have to get an enemy invasion or terrorist bombing or tsunami or earthquake or fire in the fab line or global pandemic--and, pfft, how common are those, really?

All it takes is some high-level dumbass trying to curry favor with Pooh Bear over Taiwan and suddenly Nvidia, Qualcomm, Apple, etc. have a net value of zero for the forseeable future.

But, hey, it's super more profitable to not actually have all that icky manufacturing. Ewwwwwww.
That's something that I was alluding to, but we can expand on that more directly. The fear of TikTok currently is that it is potentially under CCP influence. So if the CCP says that they need something to happen, can TikTok do anything other than what the CCP wants? I don't know the nuances of the current attempt to ban TikTok without being sold, but knowing the power of the "influencer" on TikTok and how they can be pushing agendas is what makes it incredibly scary for those not pushing the agenda.
“Millions of people”?
Also it allows AI tools in IDEs like Cursor to work a lot more effectivley because they can leverage type/lint errors to make sure suggestions are correct on the first try.
I agree with this - I don't think I've ever seen something unite both the r/Conservative and r/EatTheRich subreddits so completely.

That said, I did see a comment on a NYTimes article that I thought was apt: it's a bit rich for Americans to now complain about how awful our healthcare system is when we just gave full control of government to the party that has rejected any healthcare reform for decades. I mean, this was the party that vilified false "death panels" in Obamacare, and now people are united in their anger about claim denials?? Obamacare is certainly not perfect (though one reason it was proposed is because Obama didn't think "Medicare for all" would be politically possible), but it's better than what existed before, and I have only seen Republicans try to tear it down consistently since it was passed and I've never heard them put forth any viable alternatives that would actually improve the situation.

I don't understand why most password manager software that's being used in Enterprise and even targets that market specifically does not have the most basic features that people need.

Sharing passwords to external company accounts is essential for a marketing department, for example. Yet the proposed solution is to use an Android device for that. Good luck recovering that after an attack.

Password policies in Microsoft ADS systems are so broken that they have to change their password every 3 months for no reason whatsoever, effectively making all passwords predictable because the chance of someone using <year/month> or <month> as a password suffix is guaranteed.

Let alone the old messed up SAP systems everywhere that are abused as a login database. SAP doesn't even support special characters, and the max password length is 9 characters (10 if you count the # that is used as a hack to implement MFA). They are so crappy that the password always is set by an external rented plugin that updates all passwords in an interval with password#token. And yes, this also kind of nullifies the token's initial purpose as a secondary system.

Then there's stupid policies that logout a session every 5 minutes, while people need to use a program for hours on end. While also having a single button to relogin in an external window, in a program that is made in 90s Perl or Java.

And then you are wondering why employees reuse passwords if the state of systems is _that_ close to being pwned? Really?

What does substantial mean here? Does this value have to be over 5%? Because if you move every 2 years, that would be about 36 days of vacancy per move. Is that lower than the average?
I'm confused by the card "hope you soar in 2024". This card was mailed this year? I don't understand the footnote about 2/19. Was it sent in February 2024 and just posted about now?
Sure, orthogonal to the top 3 characteristics of housing value (location, location, and location), there is plenty of housing.

Even cheaper than Detroit and Baltimore, there's plenty of mostly empty apartment towers across China's cities. Why don't we just relocate everyone there?
SAT shows up in a lot of problems. Im doing my PhD in multi-agent robotics after spending some time working on real life multirobot deployments. Ive been frustrated because most roboticists I talk to think SAT is a dead end, but we have been having insane advances in solver speeds over the years. I guess everyone is obsessed about the ML hypetrain right now, but where sat shines is when we need to orchestrate at a task level. I feel theres defintely work to be done to bridge both worlds.
SPSSAU distinguishes itself from SPSS, SAS, Stata, and R as a web-based platform. Its intuitive drag-and-click operation, combined with AI-powered analytics, delivers an exceptional user experience. With around 500 intelligent algorithms and tests, it generates standardized three-line tables, analysis suggestions, and intelligent analysis—all from a single platform. Since its launch in 2016, it has served over 10,000 universities globally, reaching a user base of 5 million and producing more than 50 million analysis results.
I mean if the mods want to run their subreddit as a dictatorship that's allowed, and having a public log wouldn't stop that. It just means that you can't pretend you're not intervening if you are.
Spain is similar. I don’t understand how they are allowing retirees to just move there, but I have friends doing it. I’m not counting on it being that way when I retire since it sounds to good to be true (so it eventually probably won’t be true).
Bill Gates really was a shrewd businessman, and never had a problem with being malignant if it suited his needs. He just did his sort of dirty deeds with a friendly facade.

I still haven’t forgiven him for what he did to Gary Kildall.

Here's a recent statistic from San Francisco:

"City officials said that 40% of the unhoused population surveyed in San Francisco came from another California city or even from out of state, increasing from 28% in 2019." Source: https://www.ktvu.com/news/tickets-outside-san-francisco-requ...

This guy's article would lead you to believe that number is closer to 8%.

A problem with this whole discussion is that "homeless" means people that are sleeping at friends' houses etc, but to the average citizen when they're complaining about quality of life issues caused by the homeless they are referring to the subset of homeless people that are "unsheltered".

I don't believe these papers/studies, etc. that continue to purport the plague of the unsheltered is caused by the cost of housing. All I have to do is walk down the streets in Los Angeles and it's very obvious the vast, vast majority of the unsheltered here have a substance abuse problem. Another smaller minority have serious mental illness and some seem to be just anti-social who want to live outside the bounds of society.

The reason these people are not living with relatives isn't "explained by the inability of the family and friends of potentially homeless people to afford extra living space." It's because they have burned through all ties with friends and family as a result of their drug use.

The unsheltered go where they can do their drugs unbothered and even get a lot of free services.
Los Angeles LAHSA (the department tasked with tackling homelessness) budget has ballooned from $75 million in 2016 to a whopping $875 million in 2024. Anyone with a pair of eyeballs can see how all that spend has actually made the unsheltered problem worse based on our existing policies and likely is just attracting a lot more drug addicts.

Cable is an example of streaming; that particular freedom hasn't gone anywhere.
The vast, vast majority of communities, on reddit and otherwise, are "dictatorships"
This zeitgeist on the topic is ridiculous; nobody can even detect wealth inequality. And historically people knuckle under when there is a huge status discrepancy between them and someone else. It is insane that with all the problems and successes in the world today people are arguing that the problem is that some people are very well off. It can't possibly be a problem and the people pushing that it is are hurting their and others ability to organise usefully.

If there is a systemic problem, it is almost certainly either living standards in the absolute or the rate of change of living standards. If my living standards are consistently improving I really don't care about anyone else and I suspect more people work that way than admit to it.
The vast majority of drug development costs are are in phase-3 human clinical trials. That's not just regulation, it's essential to prove safety and efficiency. The government provides very little funding for those trials. Stop making things up.

It's not about punishing people or whacking them with a stick. It's about paying people to fail.

There's also nothing wrong with you, me, or anybody else freely helping those who you, me, or others deem to be in need.
To be clear the water cooling part is what I meant to be 'exotic'. 240V is pretty prevalent in datacenters or network closets when specced, but is rarely seen outside of large appliance installs in US homes and small offices.
I dislike the term “want to live” because it feels like it's framing as optional the need to live somewhere you can find a job.
The definition of "wrong" appears to be flexible.
The obvious answer is a relational structure. In the given example, host, status, path and target should be separate relations. They'll all be tiny ones, a few rows each.

Of course, performance etc are a separate story but as far as the shape of the data goes, that's what the solution is
Show me the market.

Seriously. There’s a lot of spaces where the options are pigeonholed. Where the middle option, if it exists, exists to ladder, not to provide actual value. The problem is you’re using Econ 101 but real world economics is quite a bit more complicated and nuanced
If you're willing to pay someone to do a job for you, then you have implicitly deemed it to be valuable.
Dan Carlin is the prime example of someone reading Wikipedia and a bunch of way too old books. He is an entertainer, not someone that can teach you about history.
Of course there will be a set of tells for any given style, but the space of possibilities is much larger than what a person could recognize. So as with most LLM tasks, the issue is figuring out how to describe specifically what you want.

Aside: not about you specifically, but I feel like complaints on HN about using LLMs often boil down to somebody saying "it doesn't do X", where X is a thing they didn't ask the the model to do. E.g. a thread about "I asked for a Sherlock Holmes story but the output wasn't narrated by Watson" was one that stuck in my mind. You wouldn't think engineers would make mistakes like that, but I guess people haven't really sussed out how to think about LLMs yet.

Anyway for problems like what you described, one has to be wary about expecting the LLM to follow unstated requirements. I mean, if you just tell it not to say "dive into" and it doesn't, then it's done everything it was asked, after all.

I think a combination of CLIP and some face-recognition may solve your issues!
It just takes a path to your directory, and can index all the images while preserving your folder hierarchy along with a high quality face-clustering. Each image indexing takes about 100ms on a cpu.
Every combination can then be mixed and matched, from a single interface, It doesn't take much to try as dependencies are very minimal . There is a self contained app for windows too. I have been looking for feedback, so just plugging it here in case some one has a use case.

There is a huge problem with conflating homeless and drug abuse problems, with the latter drawing empathy and funding away from the former. These are two very different problems with very different solutions. These former you just need housing, maybe job assistance, the latter you need millions of dollars in treatment and related assistance per case that has a very high chance of failing.
There's a long discussion about this on another thread, but if you're complaining about the BCBS anesthesia thing, you should look into how much you actually understand medical billing, because your complaint would also imply you find Medicare unconscionable as well.
My biggest pet peeve is when the platform forces me to add certain special characters to my password, then I need to write down my altered password and put it on a post-it note on my desk to remember it.

My other pet peeve, with a password manager, is when I forgot my master password and I need to reset it, but then my password manager sends the reset link to my email inbox; which I cannot access since its password is itself inside my password manager (true story).

Thankfully, in that second case, I eventually managed to guess my email's password. I couldn't guess my master password because it required too many weird characters which I couldn't recall. Good thing I didn't let the password manager generate the password for me!

It reminds me of another topic regarding how most software tends to assume that you are a billionaire and everyone is trying to hack you or spam you... Also, like how Gmail hides my newly received emails underneath some weird accordion menu as if my inbox is so full of emails that I couldn't see all of this month's emails in a single view.
I think its right time for AWS to buy.

AWS shut down their service, if AWS can "easily" integrate with Gitlab, I see a lot of potential on the deployment side to increase AWS revenue.
For this project, renovating the historic building to transform the mall into housing makes sense. However, for most other malls, it might be more practical to tear them down and build housing from scratch.

First, Diona's mom sucks (is it legal to kick out a 17-year-old child? Then again, maybe you don't want to live with a mom who is so disagreeable she'd kick out her single-mom daughter and baby.)

Second, the essay's argument matches up pretty well with my experiences living in a variety of poor (by American standards) areas: most poor people get by ok on a broad network of informal favors, workarounds, and grey-economy gigs. Cash and no-questions-asked for a room in a ramshackle roachhouse, swapping cable box discounts for rides to the grocery store, Greg the wheelchair-bound erstwhile addict who watches your place at night in exchange for dinner, etc. High COL areas make these relationship networks harder (as do strict regulations and government oversight).

But personal destructive tendencies make these relationships harder too: Greg gets free dinner, but his buddies who just show up to smoke crack on your porch get their ass kicked by your angry housemate. And so they go somewhere else (the local train station, perhaps). So I wish the article had addressed the social causes of "informal economy breakdown," as well as the economic ones.

All the anecdotes above are real, by the way.
Mostly corporate security is about ass coverage, not about prevention of problems. Though that can be a useful side effect. Ass coverage is about legal liability. If something bad happens, can I wash my hands in innocence and not suffer consequences (financial, legal, etc.)? If "no", take measures until you can because this could get very expensive.

Then the next question is "whose ass". Answer: literally anyone: service providers, your head of IT (who might get fired), your head of sales (who might have to explain to customer lawyers why their data leaked), the CEO, etc. They don't want to be on the spot for your mistakes. For public companies this is worse because now you have publicly traded shares in a very litigious environment with people looking for weaknesses that can be exploited to squeeze money out of any situation. And of course some of the tools in this space are made by publicly traded companies too.

The easiest way to deal with security is applying a shotgun approach of applying any kind of stuff that is vaguely understood to maybe work. The actual effectiveness of these things is besides the point and of course much of it is snake oil. The point is that there are policies and they are being enforced. The more visible and annoying this is, the more effective it is in case of trouble as a means to say "well it wasn't my fault because we did X, Y, and Z".

And of course a secondary effect of putting people on the job of securing a thing is that they will get busy doing their job to justify their existence. Which usually means a whole bunch of policy documents get written, tools get selected (preferably ones with big shiny reputations), and a lot of complexity gets introduced. There will be audits, consultants being consulted, chins being stroked, and a lot of money changing hands all for the assertion that "your ass is covered!" and by extension "theirs" as well. There are whole meta levels of ass coverage here.

That's why security theater is a thing. Because there is a large audience of people that all need to be re-assured about having suitable amounts of ass coverage.
Okay. Deal.
I’d be significantly less surprised if OpenAI never made a single $ in profit than if they somehow invented “AGI” (of course nobody has a clue what that even means so maybe there is a chance just because of that..)

I get that same effect, and weirdly was just thinking about it earlier today. I don't have vision loss, but I do also get visual noise in low light. I never did find any good information about it. The closest I could find was exploding head syndrome, which I can't entirely rule out but seems highly unlikely.
Fascinating the money isn't going to the South African Government.

The harmed party
You cannot make it big in the auto business by targeting the 1%. Ferrari has never been a big company, and often teetered on bankruptcy.

The big money is targeting where the customers are - the middle class. That's why VW got so big. Why Ford and GM and Chrysler made so much money. Selling cars to the middle class. Tesla has also moved down market for the same reason.

How's Rolls Royce, Bentley, and Jaguar doing? Case closed.
Over years, I have successfully shed the feelings of guilt for not finishing a project. Instead, I just put them out with a section in README (usually at the top) stating the state of project and things that still need to be done to make it to the finishing line.

I’ve found that people may reach out and offer to implement things if your project scratches their itch and get it in a much better shape than it would have been languishing in a private repository.
