I live in Illinois, where some towns I have lived in had a 49% Latino population.

Most people learned English. Most before they came here. People who cannot speak it are rare and are disadvantaged by that fact. But also - the US has no official language specifically because the founders did not know which language would become predominant! English, Spanish, French and German were the major candidates and we still have French, Spanish and German speaking communities of native born citizens whose families have been here hundreds of years.
Assuming you don’t believe in forced sterilization there is actually no public policy way to reduce density.

It’s just a mathematical fact. More people means on average the population density increases.

Since all solutions involve increasing density somewhere the argument actually reduces to the question of where.

Assuming you think Oregon, specifically, should be less dense or remain the same, then you are necessarily an advocate for increased density somewhere else.

So maybe tell us where?

It can’t be achieved now what Mr. authoritarian?
100% agree, though I think people would scream just as much (if not more) if DOGE were going after social security, medicaid, and/or defense vs. psuedorandom federal programs/orgs. I currently think we need "all of the above":

- Cuts to Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and defense

- Tax hikes

That way nobody feels like they are being targetted; everyone should feel at least some pain from austerity measures.

With Attack on Consumer Bureau, Musk Removes Obstacle to His 'X Money' Vision
What’s the value of the mailing list with every YouTube users email address ?
> Do you believe [...] are the limitation here

[a late reply, but...] I strikes me as having a flavor I associate with PIMs, rich text formats (eg markdown etc, and their assorted extensions), literate programming, and book writing systems. A high-dimensional sparse space of possibilities and taste and needs and nopes, which scatters effort and users, avoids critical mass, and thus discourages use and convergence. LaTeX and github-flavored markdown and pandoc and Jupyter are all achievements of convergence within multi-decade slogs. Ongoing slogs (how do you edit that LaTeX, make a book using pandoc, wrap a development process around Jupyter, etc). So yes, symbolic math is another slog. With 1970's macsyma stalling on licensing, Mathematica suing to prevent open-source implementations, and more. But I'm not sure that's a critical bottleneck here. I'm guess I'm suggesting that these wins of convergence often have long slogs not just behind, but ahead too, making it easy to overestimate the pace of future progress when looking at a collection of recent wins. Sometimes not - rust as C successor. But until time, or some famous app, creates user expectations for notes/annotations, their future looks a slog?
> Transmitting high-end 4K video today requires 15 Mb/s, according to Netflix. Home broadband upgrades from, say, hundreds of Mb/s to 1,000 Mb/s (or 1 Gb/s) typically make little to no noticeable difference for the average end user.

What I find fascinating is that in a lot of situations mobile phones are now way faster than wired internet for lots of people. My parents never upgraded their home internet despite there being fire available. They have 80MBit via DSL. Their phones however due to regular upgrades now have unlimited 5G and are almost 10 times as fast as their home internet.
LTE latency is 20-50ms, 5G is 1ms, Gigabit Ethernet is less than 1ms, Wifi is 2-3ms. Overall latency is more about distance, 300km is 1ms, number of hops, and response times.

With mobile, I bet contention and poor signal are more of an issue. 5G is a noticeable improvement over LTE, and I am not sure they can do much better.
When my child was born, they filled a hole in me I didn't even know was there.

My FiL's passing has left a yawning chasm in me and an empty ocean in my SO's life. The club members are right, I think, you never really get over it. Time is not long enough to heal that wound.

And it's impossible to understand unless you've lived it. I think that's why its a 'secret', those on the other side just aren't going to understand. It's like trying to talk to someone in French by speaking English slower and louder. You have to go back a long ways down the communication chain, down to pure emotions. And no one wants to do that unless they have to, not just because it's too raw (and it is), but also just because it takes a really long time.

I have heard the 'just go to counseling' part too. Its ... well ... rage inducing. As if that could ever do any good and get me back to the person I was. I hear that too about veterans and their experience back home. Like we just defective and just go get fixed so that way we can go hiking and go to bars and concerts again and so you're not so sad and a bummer all the time.

Like, um, fuck you, you fucking child? Sorry ... ? Have some compassion and ...

But no, it's that they weren't there, they don't know, they can't, and that's a good thing.

You've crossed a bridge, you can't go back. They haven't, yet. They will, and then their pain will let them know your pain. And it will suck, together, for a little while, until that pain comes again in a new way.

Honestly, I can see why old people are so dour now. All these holes in their souls from all these dead people they knew.

Yeah, so, therapy didn't really help, I think you can tell.
The argument here seems to be: “the features you like about terminal multiplexers should be built into your terminal emulator, or your window manager, or I don’t see why they are really necessary.” Plus some complaints about influencers.

Sure, I’ll just replace my perfectly functional window manager so I can avoid using a terminal multiplexer.

Except I’ll still want a terminal multiplexer on servers, so I still need to be familiar with the way the tool works and I’ll still be happier if I have a nice config (sidenote: the article complains about needing very complicated configurations, but tmux is fine with like… 10 lines of configuration? You can solve the problem of over complicated configs by just not doing them).

Overall it kind of feels like hipsterism or engagement bait. Complaining about “content creators” is a very popular way to show off your bona fides nowadays. I guess this is just going back and forth on “no, you are the influencer/engagement fisher” but I think tons of people have been using terminal multiplexers for decades because they are boring and practical. If someone made a YouTube or a TikTok about them, I guess… I dunno, let the kids have nice things too, <shrug>.
I've been an EFF member for over 15 years, donating at the top levels. I received notice of this action in my email this morning, and it seems to me that EFF has now crossed the line between advocating for digital rights and political activism. I'm afraid that they may lose a lot of financial support by doing this.
No, it's not an Art.

I get that people use the word art as "difficult", "obscure" or "intangible" but...

Art is about self-expression, evoking emotions, and open interpretation.
Design is about problem-solving, functionality, and clear communication.

Clearly DataViz is Design.
Tried these so many times and they never seem to persist. Eventually, I'll start noticing the junk files coming back and lo and behold the defaults are no longer set.
I think we can imagine reasons why this would be valuable. It's a vuln. That's worth know about and fixing.

I'm not sure that there are terribly many black market opportunities for "every bit of information" such that this should be a six figure payout or whatever.
AI corrects itself mid-sentence after messing up while narrating
It's not. It's obviously BS. You'd have to be traveling somewhere pretty specific at high demand times, fairly frequently spending 15+min or occasionally spending an hour or more to get an 8min AVERAGE. That such a situation applies to a statistically relevant amount of people simply doesn't pass the sniff test.

That said, the inclusion of such BS doesn't really affect the overall point of the article.
A president is unlawful if they defy a court order. Regardless of impeachment/conviction status. They are a traitor, legally speaking. The house or Senate's failure to enforce the constitution makes them traitors as well.
Drones have AI you can buy them on AliExpress express what is your point?
"Nuking the terminal by accident" is a serious thing for me; I do it all the time, though usually it is not a big deal. I have way too many terminal windows open because I do all sorts of chaotic nonsense and my "open terminal" shortcut is too convenient.

What I really need, however, is a simple shortcut that yanks the terminal window from wherever it is, puts it in the current workspace and focuses on it. I keep postponing making it, it should be simple with xorg tools (can you do that in Wayland?).
Apple to Bring TV+ to Android Phones in Bid to Boost Subscribers
I don’t think so, because the IDE doesn’t carry the language tooling with it, but interfaces with the tooling you already have in place.

That said, every IDE is opinionated about workflows, and if you’re open to adapt to that, the defaults makes sense. Otherwise you slowly hammer it to the shape you want.

For me an IDEs greatest selling point or the infinite flexibility it provides.
Copyright does not protect work ("sweat of the brow"), it only protects expression and creativity. Thus, whenever there is only one right expression or even a bare handful in any given context, copyright does not apply to that particular choice. By analogy, arranging words in some semi-arbitrary order can be an expressive choice, whereas using what's effectively a fixed phrase is not, even though the two might look similar and involve a comparable amount of "work".
Except it's not "legitimate cash" and that's the point.

* Are you talking to someone legitimately interested in purchasing and paying you, or is this a sting?

* If you're meeting up with someone in person, what is the risk that the person will bring payment or try to attack you?

* If you're meeting with someone in person, how do you use $20k in cash without attracting suspicion? How much time will that take?

* If it's digital, is the person paying you or are the funds being used to pay you clean or the subject of an active investigation? What records are there? If this person is busted soon will you be charged with a crime?

There are a lot of unknowns and a lot of risks, and most people would gladly take a clean $10k they can immediately put in the bank and spend anywhere over the hassle.
Using Bodo to Read and Write AWS S3 Tables in Python
America is a bit strange with its excessive reliance on on-street parking. If you really want to reduce car traffic in a city, getting rid of on-street parking (or adding metered on street parking) would be the way to do that after getting rid parking requirements, cities could do it gradually, replacing a line of street parking with bike lanes or better pedestrian access.
An API is too much work. Grab the addresses for the top 100,000 YouTubers and sell that csv on the dark web.
I did something similar with a friend for some time for another game.

As it went, our data was used to prove things to the developer they would have loved to hush-hush, which led to a cat and mouse game with the data and their open and... not so open apis. In the End, we stopped playing the game and stopped our efforts at it.

The issue with the standard watermark techniques is that they require an output of at least a few hundred tokens to reliably imprint the watermark. This technique would apply to much shorter outputs.

> Steve Jobs was really good, and at the same time he was lucky that what he considered a good product at the time was actually perceived as a good product by the masses

Jobs did it multiple times, though. The iPhone no doubt overshadows everything else, but the Macintosh and iPod serve as evidence that he had a recipe for successful products.

I think the better cryptography lesson is that you should not build your own cryptography system because you will mess up and include a security flaw that will allow the data to be read.
I love the idea of open source hardware, but one issue I struggle with is - what happens when one or more components go out of production?

I suppose one solution is that the maintainers could update their component list (which might involve more than one component because of compatibility issues?). But what if I'm in the middle of purchasing the components only to discover I can't get them all? Maybe the maintainers could sell component kits? That might be a nice way to fund their work. Not sure if that would run into issues with IP laws, though.

Let’s not make stuff up. First of all, it’s Russia who invaded Ukraine, not the other way around, regardless of the reasons. Hitler also had „reasons”. Weapons are sent to Ukraine so Ukraine can defend itself against the invasion. That Russians are killed from these weapons, duh… that Russians are attacked in some parts of Russia… duh. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Second, it’s not clear who destroyed NS2. It could have been Russia, Ukraine, or the US. Everyone has different theories but there’s no smoking gun pointing at anyone.

You have been already told that but the hybrid war on Polish-Belarusian border started in 2021. Today they’re fighting a war with troops from North Korea.

Russia is the only remaining nation on the Eurasian plate stuck mentally in the WW2 phase and crying out loud that the job hasn’t been finished in 1945. And I agree with this statement… Allies should have finished the job by going forward with Operation Unthinkable. We’d all save ourselves decades of struggles on this continent.
Are there really use cases for faster chips? I can run all models I want on an H100 pod.
No models exist that I can't run with at least 64 H100s. NVIDIA should just stop.
Nissan, Honda & eventually Toyota are going to go the way of Nokia/Motorola after iPhone came out. Cheap and reliable Chinese EVs will take over the market (like Android), while Tesla will probably maintain a halo premium product like iPhone.
From TFA: My impression is that the sole purpose of the terminal multiplexer hype train stems from a perceived sense of pseudo-elitism…

Whoa there buddy.
It’s fine to say: “I tried a thing, and it just wasn’t for me”.

But to proceed from that point and onto: “so rather just letting things be, or making a good-faith effort to understand those with differing opinions, I’m going to project and harshly judge them” is such a downer.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, I tried reading this blog and it just wasn’t for me.
SWE comp is weird in that typically it is zero (see what's on Github!) often it us middle class and sometimes it is small scale CEO (as in the actual job not a founder) level.

I guess bounties fit into the framework somewhere between the Github and middle class engineer.

I think it comes down to supply and demand. It also shows you what Google would pay employees if things were in their favour. On unrelated news, a tech billionaire is almost defacto VP of the US.

Card-edge connectors are wattage-bound, they would still be limited at somewhere about 100W if upvolted to 48V.
Should this be true only for vulns, or all bugs? If I as a third party find a bug that is causing Google to undercharge on ads by a fraction, should Google be obligated to pay me a mountain of cash?

Is there any evidence that OP feels that this payout was unfair?
And that's your interpretation of it.
As expected, $1.50 in late fees at the public library provide much greater value than paying for anything I've read on substack.
How do you propose to calculate "the downside saved by eliminating the bug" - ideally in general, but I'd be curious to see if you could do it even for the specific bug discussed in this article.
As mentioned by thread starter, you can also sell to some national security agency. That way, you're doing your patriotic duty and making a buck. So Google has an incentive to at least beat those offerings.
You mean an intelligence such as ......you?
> The president has broad authority to build his team and run his departments as he see's fit.

Outside of the Executive Office of the President, that's not really all that true (between statutory constraints and officers subject to Senate confirmation), and the Departments are not his, which is the critical distinction between a monarchy, in which the government is the personal domain of its head, and a republic.

> He has shown that the Social security database is de-duplicated

I think you mean “not de-duplicated” and that it is not (and why) is not a new revelation by Musk, it has been well-known and, ironically, a common example of various lessons in real world database design for at least a generation.

Hey, no paper is needed to be added to the scoreboard but some 'source' for your score is required (github, blog post etc.) so that it could be reproduced.

I had never considered the overloading of the term 'RL' in this situation! I think sadly unavoidable + most people using this benchmark come at it from the reinforcement learning side rather than the roguelike crowd.
Yes. I've been trying to take about what makes good storytelling, or even stand-up comics who can keep an audience interested in a wandering story, and those skills are what I'd think would be valuable in a business setup. Seems like readable analysis of this sort of thing should exist.
A lot is going to depend on labor rates for your local electricians, but that costing more than $500 where I am would be outrageous. I do my own electrical, but even I paid a licensed electrician to come handle installing a new panel since I did not have an outdoor service disconnect and didn't feel like fighting with the utility company over de-energizing and re-energizing my service. Ended up needing a lot more done, but the whole thing cost me $2500 to get a new service drop, outdoor meter main, and wiring run to the old panel (in the bedroom on the other side of the main) and the new panel (in the old furnace closed that's now my electrical / network room).

But really, doing a subpanel yourself to expand breaker capacity is a really simple project - most people if so inclined could do it themselves. Anywhere from $100-200 for the panel itself depending on how many spaces you feel like adding, up to $80 for a large enough breaker to feed it, and some tens of dollars for SER cable.
Tell me you've never backed up a NAS or downloaded a multi-hundred-gigabyte game without telling me!
The suggestion is that negative reviews are suppressed. Communicating a negative review through a facially positive review would help avoid that.
I mean that itself is a hotly debated idea. From your own link " As of at least 2024, there is no academic consensus on the effect of resource abundance on economic development."

For example US is probably the most resource rich country in the world, but people don't consider it for the resource curse because the rest of its economy is so huge.
John Hench (widely considered the coiner of the "go away" colors as it relates to WDI) brings up the concept of "go away" colors in the color theory chapter of his book "Designing Disney" when discussing how colors establish the identity of a space (this is partially quoted in the Wikipedia article):

> One particular challenge in designing the interior of the [American Adventure pavilion at EPCOT Center] was the metal safety railing we had to include by law, which, being out of place in the middle of a Colonial staircase, undermined the identity of the main entrance room. We chose a neutral gray-brown for the railing, a 'go away' color that did not call attention to itself, even though it was entirely unrelated to the Colonial color scheme. In this way ,we got a functional safety railing that satisfies legal requirements without conflicting visually with the Colonial theme

https://archive.org/details/designingdisneyi0000henc/page/11...

Given how he talks about color in the rest of the book, I think Hench and other early Imagineers were coming at it from film/scenic design perspectives rather than scientific "here's how camouflage and blocking patterns work" perspective. I agree though, I'd love to have someone connect this artist-minded explanation with a scientific one!
When 5G first rolled out this was absolutely not the case. Not only was it not 1ms, it was like full 1000's of ms to the point where I actively turned off 5G on my iPhone because it was so bad.

I can only speculate 5G was so saturated on the initial rollout so it led to congestion and now its stabilized. But latency isn't only affected by distance and hops - congestion matters.
The author pans meta-tracing and shows a graph of TruffleRuby having really crazy runtime behavior. However, it looks extremely suspicious - like the kind of thing you'd see if there was a memory leak and the garbage collector was running constantly.

Most people seem really excited about the results coming out of Graal and TruffleRuby seems to have some really impressive results in general, so the graph is surprising. It's also missing a bunch of details, so it's hard to speak to its voracity - for example, what are the different versions of the runtimes, what flags were used, on what hardware?

As a counter example, there's a different (admittedly old) result where TruffleRuby beats cruby on the same benchmark by 4.38x. https://eregon.me/blog/2022/01/06/benchmarking-cruby-mjit-yj...
