They'll need to manage the underbrush better, regardless of how much of an effect was due to climate change. People are going to live there and need to take protective measures. Climate change only increases the amount of management required.
Can you say rationale for disagreeing?

(Since you posted that one-line response, at least 3 people have downvoted me, but no explanation other than your one-line disagreement without argument. So I'm not learning much, and maybe I wasted my time bothering to type out my current thinking.)
Mostly its Unity's magical module loading and namespace collisions that obstructed my straight-forward approach. Apparently all files in relevant directory are interpreted on boot, with implicit dependencies made available--a collision with Unity's own Vector3, eg tripped me up when it shouldn't have been, IMO, available without explicit import.

Sorry, bullshit. You can also login today to $FAVORITE_IM_SERVICE with "unauthorized" 3rd party clients (or even often forgotten Jabber transports). Like today, there was a cat and mouse game between the server and the 3rd party clients, so they would not last long, and you'd run into many problems.

And definitely there was "lock in" and "walled gardens". MSN Messenger was the second "walled garden" service I've escaped ever since Internet was a thing. I literally remember the pain as it if was today. I would even claim the raison-d'etre for Jabber is precisely the IM walled gardens of this era.

And Jabber was then (ab)used (by Whatsapp, Google Talk, etc.) to create more centralized services..
Loopt was not a success.

But pg handing over the leadership of YC to him is indeed the father of all successes.

That lead to OpenAI, which is not a “success”, rather the success story of the recent years.
I'll eat my hat if that bears fruit but it's like I said, a power purchase agreement for a source that is slated to come online at a future date. (I should have been more specific in my assertion: no nuclear companies currently producing energy are being contracted)
I think that assumption is inaccurate:

1. In parts of the Pacific Palisades/Malibu, as the article points out, yes, there are firestorms that are going to happen there pretty much inevitably. But even then, if you look at some places that had both the money and motivation to really invest in fire prevention (e.g. the Getty Villa), they escaped the worst of the damage - no structures in the Getty Villa, smack dab in the middle of the Palisades, burned.

2. What happened in Altadena was entirely different. It shouldn't go unnoticed that in many pictures and videos that lots of trees are still standing unscathed while the homes are all burnt to the ground. Most of these homes went up long before adequate fire protection was deemed a necessity, and given land values there now (even with it being in the state it's in), it should be possible to rebuild in a much more fire resistant state than what existed previously.
Climate change is not relavant when taking about an area prone to fires for all of recorded history. Blaning climate change just makes you look stupid.

Not everything that is AI is machine learning. The program in the article may be using decision trees but the program is not a learning algorithm but an expert system. The difference is that machine learning is inductive, while expert systems are deductive [1].

Here's another example of doing the same thing in Prolog from Markus Triska's website, that also identifies animals by asking the user. Title "Expert Systems in Prolog":

_____________

[1] Reasoning. Induction and deduction are forms of reasoning. You know, the thing all the LLM folks don't know how to define? We've been able to do that since before the '80s and decision trees are just one way to do it. Learning a decision tree, e.g. with a decision tree learner like ID3 or C4.5 is an inductive task. Using a (learned or hand-coded) decision tree to make a decision is a deductive one.

But hey, we don't have a definition of reasoning. Oooh nooo.
I could be wrong on the timeline. But are we not moving towards a future where even those professions are replaced by AI? The current wave of ML might not be the one to get us there, but there is an unprecedented level of interest and resources working to make that a reality. Regardless if they succeed or not, there is still a mountain of societal problems we need to address with even the current generation of this technology.

But my main argument is against the notion that this technology is the same as the ones that came before it, and that it will undoubtedly lead to a net better future. I think that is far from certain, and the way things are developing only leads me to believe that we're not ready for what we're building.
Correction, I meant pets.com. Liquidated in 2002 for $125K, while Amazon is worth $2T. My point, generally, is the market doesn't want overly specialized products.
Yeah, the solution isn’t divorcing risk (as communicated by cost) from reality. If the concern is usurious insurance rates, that’s where things like profit caps and other regulations come in. Society should want people to have fair insurance rates but not necessarily cheap rates.
>> E.g. what about density—black people are more likely to live in urban areas where policing is more intensive than in Appalachia.
> Why do you think that is?

The incarceration rate for Appalachian whites is four times higher than the incarceration rate for Massachusetts whites. Why do you think that is?

> >The median black person is 32. The median white person is more than a decade older, at 44
> Why do you think that is? In fact, why do you think Black people have overall lower life expectancy than white people?

Asian Americans have a life expectancy at birth of 84.5. Whites are at 77.5, and black Americans are at 72.8. So the Asian-white gap is bigger than the white-black gap. Why do you think that is?

> Black youths are anywhere from 3x to 4x more likely to be thrown into juvenile facilities which has further downstream effects on incarceration as an adult. Why do you think that is?

The black/white incarceration disparity (2.3x) is smaller than the white/asian incarceration disparity (2.6x). Why do you think that is?

> You started off the argument by saying why does it matter where you were born poor.

No, I asked why it matters why you were born where you were born. 62% of black people have a household income of $40,000 or below versus 40% of white people. As to that 62% and 40% who are in similar circumstances, why should it matter what historical facts led them to those circumstances?

Fire suppression and lack of controlled burns leads to big fires. However in an environment with hot Santa Ana Winds, even with good forest land fuel management, a city like Pacific Palisades as it stood could conceivably burn from an accidental fire within the city.

The real question is this: do we have the capability to build a house that would not burn down if the neighboring house caught fire? If so, a city could be build that would be impervious to wild fire, arson, and accidental fires.

How much would this cost?

Perhaps, and we should continue to work on that, but exploitative and exhausting labor has been an issue for ten millenia or so at least. We may well not see it fixed in our lives.

But the particular failings of the modern western diet are relatively new and might still be remedied or reversed without waiting for the whole labor and exploitation issue to be sorted.
by 'multicast' here one really means a facility that's provided by layer 3. So yes, we can build our own multicast overlays. But a generic facility had two big benefits. One is that the spanning distribution tree can be built with a knowledge of the actual topology, and copies can be made in the backbone where they belong (copies in the overlay often mean that the data can traverse the same link more than once).

The other big one is access. If we call agree on multicast semantics and addressing, and its built into everyone operating system, then we can all use that as a equal access facility to effectively publish to everyone, not just people who happen to be part of this particular club and are running this particular flavor of multicast.
I think the main motivation for adding move semantics to c++11 was performance. Ie. Eliminate superfluous copy constructors when passing a std::string temporary into a function.

Std::move, std::forward are neat, though somewhat cumbersome compared to Rust. C++ scope, lifetime plus the fact that std::move doesn't actually move are real footguns.

There have been attempts to add destructive moves (Circle) but it's a long way from Rust's ergonomics.

I concur with op that default move semantic is where rust shines.

No. That syntax is roughly equivalent to the following C++:

auto const lock = std::make_shared<std::pair<std::mutex, uint32_t>>(
std::piecewise_construct,
std::make_tuple(),
std::make_tuple(0));
Agree that the bread is origin and makes all the difference. Especially when compared to a normal “pig in a blanket” style which usually has biscuit/croissant bread the kolache dough is much sweeter. I’ve tried making it at home a couple times and have never been able to get it quite right. It’s either not sweet enough or not airy enough. I’m not a great cook though tbh.

For me, Shipley Donuts is pretty wide spread in parts of Texas and has good kolaches. There’s found at most donut shops but there’s a thing here too now where most donut shops are owned by SE Asian folks and it seems they all use the exact same dough premix and I think it all tastes pretty bad. Also, if you like cheese in it there’s a big difference as places like Shipley puts more in there and it’s quite a good meat to cheese ratio. The other places only buy sausages with cheese already mixed inside and it’s not cheesy enough IMO.

The kolache market in Dallas is abysmal compared to Houston and Austin and up to West, and pretty everywhere inside that triangle. It seems like Czech folks never ventured north of West lol. Pretty much ever road trip I take from Dallas I’m seeking out a “good” sausage and cheese kolache
I would suggest you read the source code of Mutex <https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/std/sync/mutex.rs.html#178-182> and then of UnsafeCell <https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/cell/struct.UnsafeCell.html>.

So, the layout of Mutex<T> is the same as T and then some lock (well, obviously).

>Rust introduces an extra layer of pointer indirection with Mutex, which can hurt performance significantly with cache misses.

Why would there be an extra pointer dereference? There isn't.
Well you have the direction vector towards the detected person from yolo right? Sampling that direction with a range finder shouldn't be impossible with a decent pan tilt. Might be a problem if they're moving fast I suppose, depending on the distance. A solid state lidar with beam steering would be better, but those are still rather expensive.

If I had an issue within my company, I assume I'd talk to my representatives within the company, or seek assistance from a lawyer (I suppose most countries have labour courts).

If you're able to scrape together the funds for another semester, you can probably scrape together a couple hundred bucks to avoid paying for that extra semester.

People going to university like to talk about how poor they are, but they're obviously not "can't manage a couple hundred bucks for college" poor. I've known a lot of constantly-bordering-on-homeless people, and they're usually lucky to even manage community college. UW is $13k a year just for tuition.

Profit caps are a bad idea in general, but they are an especially terrible fit for companies insuring against tail risks, because you need to eke out a small profit for years or decades to hedge against the black swans with massive costs. The 2017 and 2018 wildfires wiped out _25 years_ of insurance company profits, for example: if you had said in 2013, "hey, these guys have made 20 straight years of profits, we need caps to control costs", you'd have left them insolvent against the fires.

This is all a moot point though: you cannot force companies to offer insurance. If regulations prevent them from offering policies at a profit, they just leave. Which is exactly what is happening in California (and Florida): every company is bailing out and refusing to renew policies.
The California Department of Insurance regulates the insurance rates, down to how much they can raise them each year. Over the last decade the real risk of these fires has become better known to insurance companies and they've been screaming to be allowed to raise rates faster. Some have even exited the state completely (to new sign ups).

CalFAIR is the state insurer of last resort but last I checked it's not subsidized. There were talks of needing a possible bailout last year, and it's going to intensify now, but it hasn't happened yet.
Many comments seem to be under the impression that we do not know or do not choose to build fire-resistant buildings.

We do know how. It is required by code. Chapter 7 of the IBC code is the specific section. It was adopted in 2007. Most houses in America pre-date 2007 construction. If only comments on the internet had the power to retrofit millions of structures across the country, we'd be set.

> Consider NFTs. They are a speculative asset with no recurring revenue attached.

Housing isn't comparable to NFTs, all logic goes out the door when something doesn't have intrinsic value.

> In the dry economic sense of “production” yes, but at the expense of dismantling communities.

Yes: whenever cities devote resources to "clean up" a neighborhood, they are also doing this. Slums are ugly, but they are also a source of cheap housing; old buildings might not use land very effectively, but they are also a source of cheap housing (and that new dense apartment building that they knocked down the old housing to build is no longer as affordable on a unit basis).

> The government buys land and builds affordable housing complexes on it

This isn't a bad approach, though I'm not sure how it would scale to the USA. The problem with the US is that "affordable" is often a term that is applied to a few hot cities rather than in general. If all the affordable housing is in Mississippi, no one would be interested in taking it, if it is where people want to live, then we will have lots of lopsided unsustainable population movements, if we just somehow even it out affordable housing, then some people are still going to be left out of their preferred location for housing.

>...honestly your welcome to implement your own compiler that turns it on by default just like the rust compiler which has no standard because "the compiler is the standard".

The C and C++ standards are quite minimal and whether or not an implementation is "compliant" or not is often a matter of opinion. And unlike other language standards (e.g. Java or Ada) there isn't even a basic conformance test suite for implementations to test against. Hence why Clang had to be explicitly designed for GCC compatibility, particularly for C++.

Merely having a "language standard" guarantees very little. For instance, automated theorem proving languages like Coq (Rocq now, I suppose)/Isabelle/Lean have no official language standard, but they far more defined and rigorous than C or C++ ever could be. A formal standard is a useful broker for proprietary implementations, but it has dubious value for a language centered around an open source implementation.
