Your (likely rhetorical) question presumes that a nation which is devoted to free markets would require housing to be distributed via free markets, but that's not necessarily true. In fact I'd say there's a lot of evidence built up now that the free market is in fact, not actually that great at distributing property, because necessarily to engage with a market, one must have money, and everyone needs a home, but not everyone has money.

Personally in my ideal world, we would distribute life's essentials in such a way as to be free at point of use, and then leave markets to handle things they're actually good at, like televisions and such.

My custom-build desktop had an issue with the previous AM4 motherboard I had where if you told Windows to hibernate, the entire machine would shut down as normal, but then a few seconds later it'd wake back up by itself and unhibernate. I had to turn off the PSU power switch during those few moments to keep it in hibernate mode. New mobo and that's gone now. BIOS updates never helped. Really odd.
Wow I asked a similar question a few days, glad to see this is getting some traction! Archive.org OCR is new to me! Very interesting. I am working on a tool to do OCR, translate and layout recovery (like .. all the apps nowadays), but focussed on running locally/processing thousands of pages/scans.

For those considering them, Erewhon and Erewhon Revisited (wherein we discover just how much in the way of, ahem, relations a book of the period can pack "between the lines") are available in a single widely available and cheap (used) little Modern Library hardback, and are a pretty fun read for the genre (nothing like Utopia—I read a lot of things most folks would consider boring, and that one taxed even my patience).
I got a masters in cybersecurity recently and I have no intention in switching career paths from my system engineering focus to cybersecurity. I don't see why this can't just be a foundational study path for computer science beyond the 4 year degree. I didn't base this decision off anything more than just my personal interest. The program was a good fit for me.

With that said the points the author is making about recruiting and driving salaries down are endemic to other areas. In my undergrad, I had a law-related class and the professor took a class to talk through the issues with job placement in the legal system and encourage students fulfilling an undergrad before LSAT and future JD, etc. to consider things like public policy programs so they didn't end up with mountains of debt and a degree that was hard to actuate into a career.

> You will be able to get ripgrep into many distributions, but it will be more unlikely to become one of the tools installed by default for that reason.

Oh I don't agree with that all. It might be a factor, but it isn't going to be installed by default because grep will already be there. Unseating a POSIX user land in a Linux distro is not going to be blocked just on binary size IMO.

I also think what you're saying is not inconsistent with what I'm saying. The default tools installed on a Linux distro is a niche use case. ripgrep doesn't need to be installed by default in any Linux distro in order to be successful.

If you're setting out to build tools to replace, say, a GNU user-land to fulfill POSIX (or provide an entirely different sort of user experience), then binary size is probably the least interesting thing to overcome. And if you "try" hard enough, Rust binary sizes can be reduced quite a bit. ripgrep being 4MB is the result of me not caring at all about binary size (beyond stripping debug info). But this is a niche goal IMO, and IMO does not support your initial claim:

> And for CLI tools, you need those to be tiny.

Notice how if you instead said:

> And for CLI tools that are installed by default on a Linux distro, you need those to be tiny.

then it takes almost all the air out of your comment.
You’re ashamed? I have to be honest with you - I just moved into the city last year after living in the suburbs since 2018. SF is the most beautiful city I’ve ever been in. Do you not have a strong attachment to the communities here? I’m finding the city surprisingly good at cultivating niches.

"Alternative" makes more sense when you remember:

* The name "Alternative" is a rebrand of "Modern Rock" (modern wasn't superseded by alternative; it became known as alternative).

* "Alternative" is an alternative to AOR and hard rock/metal. You can dunk on it by pointing to bands like Alice in Chains, which is basically a drop-tuned Motley Crue with harder-to-understand lyrics, but really the whole point of it as a "genre" was as a catch-all for acts that sounded neither like Guns n' Roses nor Fleetwood Mac.

I made my own dashboard for my LinkedIn Scraper
Hey !

It's been just over a month since I developed a LinkedIn scraper, because I needed to scrape linkedin in huge quantities for another saas I own. All the current solutions on the market are either of poor quality (very badly structured JSON varying from one route to another, terrible to integrate with ts ) or extremely expensive.

That's why I created my own scraper and put it on RapidAPI.

At the same time I decided to create my own independent entity because the RapidAPI dashboard was honestly pitiful and as a user the experience is terrible.

Below is the link to my api, feel free to give feedback on the landing page, pricing, or anything else I'm open to discussion :)

In a few words:
- a elegant dashboard
- generous free tier, no credit required
- latency of less than 1200ms
- 24/7 support

I picked up a few years worth of Rolling Stone from the late 1970s which chronicle dissatisfaction with Rock as a genre. It started out with classically trained musicians who went into directions such as progressive rock and arena rock that eventually drifted away from critics and audiences.

You got a new generation of people who learned to strum the guitar because they liked rock music and they gave us punk and other simplifications of rock. Punk had no commercial potential and thus gave rise to post-punk and new wave which, after a few years that everybody (even Barry Manilow) had to make disco records if they wanted to get play, had a backlash. First synths became a "new sound" (even Neil Young!) but soon they became mandatory as they were the basis for "music word processors" and once the old musicians switched to them people quit caring about their new albums.

Alternative came out in the 1980s as a reaction to that whole mess.

People get jailed/locked up when they are a physical danger to those around them. The reason jails are the way they are is not so much to punish the inmates but far more relevantly, to protect them from one another. As it turns out, unfortunately, much of the supposed problem with the really long term homeless is that, rightly or wrongly, they are perceived as a physical threat to others. So, even assuming the best possible intentions on your part, whatever place you put the homeless is going to look a lot like jail.
Yes, but that is an expense for a future faraway fiscal year.
Yes, human "good intentions" are very, very real and a great driver of history. It is human nature to believe fervently that your own actions are just and right — to which cynicism, or at least skepticism, is the proper response.

I imagine, for example, that government officials involved in managing California water rights[1], have "good intentions" — just as good as the intentions of those in this thread offering monstrous philosophical propositions about bartering violence that trivialize its enduring damage, or the intentions of those who contemplate becoming "nature's ethical guardians" and reducing "sentient suffering".

To the extent that human social systems have evolved to reduce "sentient suffering", it has been by applying forcible restraints on such individuals, confronting them with how the consequences of their actions affect others, even when the natural human inclination is to downplay and dismiss suffering when it clashes with self-interest or "good intentions".

> Egg prices alone have nearly doubled since December, according to the US Department of Agriculture, and many breakfast restaurants and diners are reeling. Waffle House, a chain with more than 2,000 locations, recently announced a $0.50-per-egg surcharge due to inflation and the worst avian influenza outbreak in history, as tens of millions of birds have been culled to contain its spread.

> It’s not just eggs that have gone up in price. Coffee is at a 47-year high, driven by climate disruptions in Brazil and Vietnam, the world’s largest producers. The cost of frozen orange juice has nearly doubled since 2020, due to citrus disease and climate shocks. Flour, too, has become more expensive in recent years, with prices spiking in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Wages are a component (structural demographics), but so is climate change and the Russo-Ukrainian War. None of these costs (wages, commodities) are likely to go down in the near future.

I wonder how Apple allowed an app that was purposely crashing the phone under specific conditions.
This can go wrong, as I found. Management and Tech leadership are focussed on the new projects with latest technology - they pay the biggest bucks for these and no one really cares about the devs maintaining the old stuff - even if important. The second problem is looking for new roles you resume is filled with old tech rather than new stuff that is in demand.

Yeah. The fact that something makes sense doesn't mean it's significantly more likely to happen. But it could. And I'd say that both Russia and USA are now accidentally hellbent on providing sufficient stressors.
So we have to come up with an implementation of democracy where bad actors have a harder time evading democracy. So that's not a presidential democracy.
Cybersecurity is not full, software engineering is not full, practicing law is not full, etc. Just because there was a wave of tech layoffs doesn't mean the industry was "full" it just means money was fast and loose and you could get funding for ridiculous ideas. The markets just corrected for this past anomaly.

Yet, all of the mentioned careers have (as the author rightly points out) something in common: there's no cheat code, there's no 6-week bootcamp and there are certainly no magic shortcuts. Cyber security jobs require specialists with experience, just like many other professions.
While I like the idea of measuring subsequent steps, this kind of approach of using embeddings is the reason why I wrote: "Don't use cosine distance carelessly" (https://p.migdal.pl/blog/2025/01/dont-use-cosine-similarity).

In this case, cosine distance one would be in a case when it repeats word-by-word. It is not even a "similar thought" but some sort of LLM's OCD.

For anything else... cosine similarity says little. Sometimes, two steps can have opposite conclusions but have very high cosine similarity. In another case, it can just expand on the same solution but use different vocabulary or look from another angle.

A more robust approach would be to give the whole reasoning to an LLM and ask to grade according to a given criterion (e.g. "grade insight in each step, from 1 to 5").

It feels like you're just finding other ways to describe people who are senior in title only which is far too common. Any senior that uses their title to justify a 'you can't tell me way to do attitude, is a senior in title only.

I think the term is the issue. Senior development means something more intrinsic than it does in other title, like a senior manager. I think what we're attempting to define is something closer to seasoned developer.

What about the format is stagnant? I haven't read a physical book in roughly a decade, and haven't remotely found ebooks lacking.

There's also a gtk backend for tk (gtkttk), as convoluted as that sounds, so presumably you could use gtk web implementations (broadway) behind that...

Wouldn't the "surrounding materials" we're worried about here be the rock itself? The Tsar Bomba was proportionately the cleanest nuke ever, but I thought that also relied on it being an air burst. The Sedan test (creating the Sedan crater using a 70%+ clean fusion warhead) released more fallout than any other US test & I thought that was because it was done in the ground at a depth where reaction products could escape. But you're saying with a clean design & boron based neutron absorbing buffer layer, we could limit neutron activation of the surrounding rock? That does sound plausible, although I don't know what it would actually take & I'm doubtful their estimated $10B budget would hold.

If the EU passed legislation to randomly select three people under its jurisdiction and bankrupt them, then I think that (a) my personal risk would be too low to be actionable, as you say; but (b) that's pretty bad legislation.

I think they've constructed roughly that effect here. I believe that's worth complaining about, both in principle and to the extent that same demonstrated carelessness might create more serious practical problems in future. That's especially true since as far as I can tell, this would have been an easy fix, just better drafting with no intended policy change.

Of course that's different from what a lawyer considering only their client's current personal interests should care about. There I think most developers would take no action (and I don't plan to myself), though the lawyer would probably consider that a business decision and leave it for their client to make in the context of their legal advice. I might take action if I worked on a high-risk (e.g. cryptocurrency per below) project, to use a pseudonym, minimize assets in the EU, etc.

Sounds like 'spurious correlations', a la Tyler Vigen [https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations] - compare to the cost of butter or the number of pirates in Maine, et al.

Anyway there's going to be co-causation: did Gen-X college-grad hipsters fuel the rise of alt-rock, or did the boom in alt-rock bands conform to the tastes of Gen-X college-grad hipsters and their increasing wealth (via the boomm in tech companies), and how much of that was mere social signalling about trying to be cool, vs musical tastes and intentional curation?
You can do the same with https://sbert.net/ it is not any more work for you to implement except it really gives better results! Vector databases did not become hot in the word2vec era, they became hot once you got embedding that were sensitive to words in context.

It's arguable, for instance, there is any value in making an embedding for a word which can have multiple meaning. Take a word like "bat", at least it is specific to match that with the specific word bat. If you vectorize it you're going to have to blend in mammals and blend in sports equipment. In any given situation you care about one of them and don't care about the other, so anything you gain from matching other mammals means you also get spurious matches having to do with sports equipment.

BERT sees the context so it will match a particular use of the word "bat" with either mammals or sports equipment so it brings in relevant synonyms but not irrelevant synonyms. That made BERT one of those once-in-a-decade breakthroughs in information retrieval (took a whole decade of conference proceedings to get BM25!) whereas Word2Vec is just a dead end that people wrote too many blog posts about.
The markets that are basically derivatives of financial products (qqq/spy closing price, oil, rates, etc) have pretty decently sized volume but are likely pretty efficiently priced and most likely have institutions market making on them.

The more niche markets are orders of magnitude smaller and are probably less efficient. However, market making on some low volume, niche market probably won't pay much.

AMD GPU linux drivers are (were?) a nightmare in general, and this includes iGPUs in their processors. Sadly, I don't have the impression that AMD is actively working on fixing this.

It looks to me that if you want to have a working computer under Linux, it's worth the extra cost to avoid AMD.
