I don’t understand the sense of entitlement towards every nuclear family owning a building constructed with stone, steel, and concrete. None of these things are available in a level of abundance to grant them to every person alive. While concrete only construction is more common in developing countries I certainly question the quality. I lived in an apartment like this in South Asia and it had no weather insulating ability whatsoever, the plaster was constantly crumbling, and the doors would jam up. Not to mention the recurring nearby stories of an apartments roof collapsing on its occupant.

I am thankful to live in a county where land and building ownership are more available to the common man than most and many people can escape being perpetual renters. Wood construction enables that. Plus North Americans love to adjust and remodel their homes and have unique shapes with high ceilings etc etc etc which is really helped with our construction techniques. The only thing I hate is termite risk and that could probably be resolved by allowing framing with pressure treated wood

Having owned an X1C for just over a year, I have loved it - it was my 3rd printer - and it "just works" (99% of the time).

However - this is just the push I need to install the 3rd-party firmware (X1Plus), I was considering doing it anyways as the machine is now out of warranty - but I will never update to this "security theater" firmware. (If they wanted "real" security, they would allow proper LAN mode and have the option to remove required cloud connectivity entirely)

And - unless they change, my next printer will be a Prusa - or a Voron - or a Voron-clone (Soval?) - am done with "enshitification" of existing products that I paid a premium for, and already own.
I think that's a terrible idea, especially with ISP monopolies that love gouging their customers. They have a demonstrable history of markups well beyond their means.

And I hope you're pricing this highly. I don't know about you, but I would absolutely notice $.03 a site on my bill, just from my human browsing.

In fact, I feel like this strategy would further put the Internet in the hands of the aggregators as that's the one site you know you can get information from, so long term that cost becomes a rounding error for them as people are funneled to their AI as their memberships are cheaper than accessing the rest of the web.
US Govt has a lot more limited say on what content is pushed or neutered.

There are FHE schemes that do better than binary gates (cf. CKKS) but they have other problems in that they require polynomial approximations for all the activation functions. Still they are much better than the binary-FHE schemes for stuff like neural networks, and most hardware accelerators in the pipeline right now are targeting CKKS and similar for this reason.

For some numbers, a ResNet-20 inference can be done in CKKS in like 5 minutes on CPU. With custom changes to the architecture you can get less than one minute, and in my view HW acceleration will improve that by another factor of 10-100 at least, so I'd expect 1s inference of these (still small) networks within the next year or two.

LLMs, however, are still going to be unreasonably slow for a long time.
If they have a normal driver's license, they'd better hope their passengers are on the skinny side, too; this thing is 3.2 tonnes empty, and the limit for a normal license is 3.5 tonnes.

(Though actually I think that drivers' license limit is based on the vehicle's maximum loading, so probably even skinny passengers wouldn't save them.)
The article states, "symbols on the cylinders could be an early Semitic alphabet" and this is when they lost me. I guess we're just pushing propaganda now.

"These next tests require cooperation. Consequently, they have never been solved by a human. That's where you come in. You don't know pride, you don't know fear, you don't know anything. You'll be perfect."

It takes someone with no ego, no preconceptions, and infinite patience to delve in and come back alive.

It's a good thing that encrypted data at rest on your local device is inaccessible to cloud based "AI" tools. The problem is that your average person will blithely click "yes/accept/proceed/continue/I consent" on pop up dialogs in a GUI and agree to just about any Terms of Service, including decrypting your data before it's sent to some "cloud" based service.

I see "AI" tools being used even more in the future to permanently tie people to monthly recurring billing services for things like icloud, microsoft's personal grade of office365, google workspace, etc. You'll pay $15 a month forever, and the amount of your data and dependency on the cloud based provider will mean that you have no viable path to ever stop paying it without significant disruption to your life.
Or, equally as importantly, imagine if US oligarchs used to be doing that and can't as effectively anymore.
> you're the one who cast doubt on me for suggesting UnitedHealth is incentivized to raise prices to get around profit caps, which turned out to be exactly the case despite your sense-making of the rules in place

Sorry, could you link to my comment?
If it's not permitted to raise the price of premiums to point where it covers the actual risk, then it's de facto illegal. Nobody will sell insurance policies at a loss.

They likely did test it, and it passed. The leak was probably caused by the somewhat violent environment of the launch, and that can’t be entirely replicated on the ground.
Yes, people believe that, because that’s what scientific polling states. Wow.

You may not agree with the 10% of the population that sides with Hamas, but that’s enough to cause an election to flip from Democrat to Republican or Independent, causing a 1.5% win for Trump.

Exactly. And what puzzles me is that the evidences offered by the Congress was quite speculative, whether it's about data collection, content manipulation, influence of Chinese laws, or the potential future threat. Yet ByteDance chose not to argue about the evidence, but to argument about 1A.
At thirty I quite my job as an industrial painter and sandblaster and started as a temp data entry clerk at a local government for $8/hour. Worked hard at what I did, made connections, and moved into field-work, then GIS. From there I moved to the private sector in Civil Engineering, still doing GIS. I then made a tangential career change into geospatial software development after moving to DC, as I spent a lot of time learning programming on the job as a GIS Analyst. Now I do DevOps. I think the key for me was to put myself into an environment where I could get the opportunities that I wanted, and working hard towards those goals.

> If their properties actually cost $200,000 per year to insure, then that's what they should have to pay! If they don't like it, they should either build something cheaper (that's the other half of the product) or move to somewhere with less risk.

Or build something adapted to the risk it faces. In my home town there are houses that were built on flood plains that have recently been flooding every 5 years or so. Luckily they are brick and in order to get these covered you now need to install flood barriers over the doors, and your ground floor has to be adapted to flood without sustaining damage (tile floors, special plaster etc.)

Now when we have a severe flood warning people will move their valuables upstairs if they're house floods they just have to clean out the mud. There are also a couple new houses right next to the river that float and rise and fall on stilts when the banks burst.
There are only a handful of American companies that could easily afford Intel and have any actual expertise to own Intel. The author was confident the company could pull of the purchase so that narrows the list quite a bit:

1. Apple - They have the cash, they like to vertical integrate.

2. Microsoft - Also have the cash, but probably not a great idea. It doesn't really sync with their software first business approach.

3. Nvidia - They have the cash, but antitrust issues arise. With that said, the US would probably allow it. Nvidia often makes their GPUs on non-cutting edge processes anyway, so Intel foundries might save them some money and they were never able to buy ARM like they wanted to.

4. AMD - This is less straightforward, it would probably have to be more of a merger than a straight acquisition, which makes me think this is not the company that is being referred to.

There are other companies, but I don't think the financials are nearly as straightforward for someone like Broadcom or Qualcomm. They might have the market valuation, but Intel is still the bigger company in terms of revenue.

I think it has to be either Apple or Nvidia that is being referenced. I don't think any other company can look at Intel and say 'should we just buy them?' Maybe Microsoft, but I don't think they would know what to do with Intel and it would be another Nokia situation where they do more harm than good.
The whole report shows that it was a company being run by bearcats and middle-managers who focused on sales rather than product. The detailed out exactly what was coming and why it was great and their general response is atrocious. Some of the highlights of the presentation which stood out to me (on page 12):

1. "Work closely with T-Mobile"

Your competitor just launched a superior product and your response is to 'work closely' with T-Mobile?? Are you kidding me?.

2. "Prioritize touch UI development, simplifying basic functionality and PC suite development very high."

Response here was spot on and highlighted that they needed to hire a new chief UI-designer and work on prioritizing touch development -- this should have been number 1 without a question and it looks to me like they put it on the back-burner.

4. "Analyse what could be Apple’s next release of “iPhone mini” to mass market price points and plan counter-measures for it."

Anytime you're focusing on your 'response' to a competitor, you're behind in the game (by miles) and you've lost already -- especially if you're responding with 'counter-measures.' Once again - are you kidding me?

5. "Kill market for such an expensive device by filling mid-range with own/Google/Yahoo experiences"

Incredibly stupid response -- you're planning to kill something the market may demand massively by...filling your product / experience with 3rd party integrations. Idiocy at its very finest.

6. "Accelerate Nokia's own free push e-mail project and make it less hidden within the company."

This is a great sign of a company being run by middle-managers - secret projects with no evidence that they will push your product boundary nor satisfy consumer demand and why in the world would you keep anything here 'secret' - sheer idiocy.

7. "Investigate and play hard in possible IPR infringements"

Another sign of a company being run by idiots.

8. "Drive key partnerships to highlight Nokia's superior strength in the market, keeping things in perspective."

Wow - use partnerships (i.e. relationships / sales) to counter a superior product. These guys sure are on the ball /sarcasm.

10. "Highlight potential weaknesses of the iPhone"

Whenever you respond to a threat and one of your highlights is to once again 'talk' your way our of it by highlighting your competitors' weaknesses -- it's usually an indication that your organization is being run by middle-managers or absolute morons.

This whole report shows exactly why Nokia failed.

I did an interview for a Senior Backend role with them. I’m very happy with how they managed the process. The interviews were technical, but in a practical way, not in the “let’s see if you can solve some leet code” way. Loved the guys I interviewed with. Loved the technical challenges they told me I’d be working on. I’m a little bit sad I wasn’t able to join them (despite them offering me the position) because they had a ridiculously restrictive contract (wasn’t allowed to have side projects, not even contribute to open source). I had to reject it :(

Not really sure why companies hurt themselves in this way.
Thanks for helping identify my first ever hotfix! There was bound to be an issue given this is my first real solo web development project - the background animation was causing the CPU issue as I immediately suspected. I've just pushed a fix that resolves this, along with extending the completion timer to 5 seconds for better readability. This timer adjustment is a temporary solution until I can implement a more configurable system.
Imagine you had the superpower to cause a not-insignificant amount of people to start shouting about this or that topic at the mere mention of you-who-must-not-be-named. I would imagine you might feel pretty powerful being able to observe your legacy woven into so many corners of the Internet without having to go out and touch them yourself anymore.
You made this statement which is wrong:

> ~47 million Americans aren’t native English speakers having immigrated from a non English speaking country.

Your link says 46M total which includes native speakers. So it does not state how many non-native speakers. (not that it would matter as most would be proficient english speakers, just pointing out you're exagerating and your numbers are wrong)

Rather I think this a good example of how people go through the steps of delegimitizing institutions if it dosen't agree with their opinion. If the Supreme Court's opinion is "shaky" then I guess the Pro-TikTokers would teetering on pole in the middle on the ocean.
Musk has a particularly obnoxious fanbase[1], it contribute to the hate Musk gets from outside this fanbase. Zuck has no real fanbase to speak of.

Musk is more politically active than Zuck, especially recently. Politics cause hate.

Musk is loud and provocative, sometimes insulting for no good reason, and has an opinion on everything. Zuck is a bit of that too, but Musk is much more.

So general idea is that out of the two, Musk is seen as the bigger asshole. A productive asshole, maybe, but no matter how productive they are, people usually don't like seeing assholes.

As someone who's home insurer pulled out of California and so I had to scramble to find another carrier, I looked at the FAIR plan and it is completely untenable for most people. My insurance was already high, ~$2000/year for coverage that would rebuild our house, and under FAIR it would have gone up to $12000/year.

I mostly agree with the article that insurance is grounded in statistical measures of risk and there's no point railing against it. Norms are going to have to adapt to increased risk and how we build homes and infrastructure needs to shift away from short-term, low-cost thinking to longer-term solutions with a higher-upfront cost and lower TCO given the new constraints. Things like burying power lines, aggressively managing fire danger, and homes that are built to be more sound to natural disasters have to become the status quo.

Most of these things are already possible today. In my neighborhood, PG&E did an assessment and it would cost every homeowner on the street ~$25,000 to have the power lines buried. I would have opened my wallet immediately to reduce the fire risk, but it got caught up in politics and policy. When we had some renovation on our house, my wife and I insisted on some of the work being done in ways that would make the house safer and easier to maintain over the long work. The contractor balked at first saying it would cost us an extra couple of thousand dollars. I had to point out that an extra $3000 to make sure things lasted an extra 5 - 10 years and was easier to maintain and upgrade meant nothing. But people have to insist on doing better because right now the norm is to cut corners on everything to save in many cases a negligible amount of money over the life of the work or against the cost if there is a disaster.
Airfare for a given flight may be the same, but that doesn't mean customers will end up finding the flight that best fits their desires, including price.

In a market, reducing buyers access to information will increase the prices buyers pay. It has long been the goal of sellers to present a single option and force buyers to take it or leave it. Amazon had hoped that the Echo would encourage buyers to simply ask Amazon to order a product, and Amazon would order whichever gave them the largest profit. This failed, because customers would rather review available information and make a choice that provides a better deal, despite Amazon's barely functional search feature that is easily gamed completely unable unable to sort by price, despite stating it is doing so.

Operating systems for phones and tablets not only have poor usability/accessibility but they are far worse at memory management, and web browsers are memory hogs, so not only is it difficult to switch between multiple web pages, but the page you switch back to may need to reload, clearing any information entered into the page, even on hardware with the same capabilities as a laptop or desktop computer.

Half the cost is not "some huge margin"?!?

So, like, if you found a 50%-off sale on a car, you're telling me you wouldn't test drive it because it's not a very good deal?

What color is the sky in your world?
Totally fair. I was thinking more in terms of the rate at which people can consume it; if your primary interest is following a sport, or current reality-TV shows, you can only consume content as quickly as it is released.
Probably more that we spent decades since mass adoption of AC moving 10s of millions of people into previously lightly inhabited areas, then repeatedly bailed them out with government money to rebuild when disaster struck.

Add to that the general rich mans disease of building anything in America being slow & expensive, so each rebuild is more expensive than the last, well beyond just inflation.
To say that Miami was a democratic stronghold is not really accurate. They've leaned Democrat recently, but the margins haven't been that high, and they've been decreasing for a number of elections now.
