> If the US had had decades of economic stagnation the housing price pressure caused by the beneficiaries of many sectors of the economy NOT stagnating, but instead of booming at more-than-anywhere-else-in-the-world-levels, seen in SF in particular, would be far less.) Look at housing prices in hollowing-out former industrial towns in the Midwest.

But the article isn't wrong though. Zoning things like Tokyo in San Francisco would be a silver bullet to the woes there and it would go a long way to making people feel prosperous. If you live in the bay area, you'll be shocked to see people with quite large net worths, feel like they have nothing because the only place they can afford near their workplace is $1M or more and we're talking about condos here.
If you really want to waste time on types, the bolted-on TS is never going to work as well as Golang where they're native. Maybe TS types are better than Python types is all.

For the record, my Kindle died after 4 years and Amazon replaced it. That one died after 2 and they replaced it again - all free. Australian Consumer Law is required to be followed if they want to trade here. If you want respect, speak to your lawmakers.
I was highlighting the logical fallacy being made with this provocative statement:

> To those whose lives have been irreparably harmed by the violent mentally ill people inhabiting SF's streets and parks while the police stand idle and billions of their tax dollars are spent annually failing to solve the problem-- it might hit a bit differently

The logic is that if your life is harmed by a violent mentally ill homeless person, then all homeless mentally ill people are more prone to causing such behavior. It’s flawed and I was purposefully making a provocative statement. A statement I might add that has actually been made in the past with much of the same emotional reasoning - I was hoping the jarring racism would resonante and share much of the same callous tone being displayed.

> This isn't a remark on wealthy people being more or less capable of physical violence, but rather that untreated serious mental illness is usually incompatible with maintaining a high maintenance lifestyle

I remember when Bob Lee was murdered in SF and everyone came out of the woodwork claiming it’s the supposedly violent mentally ill homeless people who clearly must have been responsible (it wasn’t). It’s important to separate the baseless narrative from the actual facts on the ground. Mentally ill and homeless make people feel uneasy and unsafe but the actual data suggests in reality they’re not so much different.
I hate the guy but wanted to fact check this to keep my claims in check. It is true. Here'a a chatgpt that points to several confirming major news websites.

This led me to something even more chilling. He appears to be critiquing people's net worth vis a vis their salaries. It may just be more bullsh but if so, it's an unacceptable level of invasion of privacy. And further confirmation that he is not fit to do this kind of work:

"We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have, ostensibly a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars but somehow managed to accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while they are in that position,” Musk claimed"

The implication here, that someone could be examining our wealth and deciding if we deserved it or not, is horrifying. It rcalls some of the other dark aspects of totalitarian governments.
Pretty much any system that's capable of handling IP traffic is also capable of firewalling. Not sure what that's got to do with address rewriting though.
Sorry for the angry reactions. The funniest one so far are the people who are upset that there is no rigorous connection to internet love spelt out for them.

FWIW, these colors look fun and made my winter Monday morning a little brighter. Thanks!

New White Paper: Recursive Cognitive Refinement for LLM Consistency
I just published a short research white paper introducing “Recursive Cognitive Refinement (RCR)”—an experimental method for reducing hallucinations and enforcing cross-turn logical consistency in LLMs.

The gist:
• Iterative self-validation loops that prompt a model to detect and fix its own contradictions
• Constraint-based adversarial probing to challenge reasoning at a deeper structural level
• Hierarchical reinforcement across longer conversations, aiming for near self-correcting AI

Would love feedback and any collaboration ideas, especially from folks tackling advanced LLM alignment or interpretability. I’m open to discussing how RCR could be integrated/tested at scale.

Link to the paper on ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/389050194_Recursive...
Exactly. Person I was asking didn't seem to have a limit.

I just cannot believe sometimes how broken YouTube's support system is. And the irony of YouTube treating their automated mistake as irreversible while expecting creators to just deal with it is maddening
Thank you.

I think what you're saying is particularly true on this subject-- the people with skeptical or negative remarks are likely people who they or their families have personally suffered harm. When someone denies your own experience it's natural to write them off if not to actively oppose their position.

Widely contentious issues are usually contentious precisely because the different perspectives are all simultaneously valid.
What did I just read? Pages of unfiltered advertising copy masquerading as news? About using a single computer control both the power and the braking? In an electric car? Oh my god! Revolutionary! BMW are clearly going to win the EV market with this amazing breakthrough!
Same had to actually look it up and at least Merriam-Webster lists the word as “chiefly British spellings of JAIL, JAILER”. Which at least hints that the dictionary writers thought it is less common out side of Britain.
> * The government is paying claims for people who are 150 years old.

...and that no-one has noticed for the ~40 years they'd presumably be unlikely to be alive given that living past 110 is vanishingly rare despite audits, etc., until Elon and his Special Boys turned up.
There are ads in kobo? Is it normal or some sort of cheaper offering like kindles?
> The very fact that there are people who will argue why IPv6 is unnecessary tells us everything we need to know

Yeah, it tells us that the IPv6 standard was invented by retarded monkeys who don't know what they're doing.

(Yeah, yeah, I know, I've heard it before - akshually it's the rest of humanity who is stupid for not switching to IPv6. If only they were enlightened enough to know they need to throw away all their hardware and switch to an untested network stack for no practical benefit!)
And the worst part? Instead of acknowledging the mistake and fixing it, they just double down on policy rigidity
I imagine the threshold of org size where they stop taking their prefixes from their ISP and just go get their own from the RIR is .... Not big.

Sure, some network engineers will try and design v6 networks as though they're v4, but everyone else will just go and get a squillion addresses from the RIR that's unique to their org and then just use/announce that.
We need better alternatives, but right now, it feels like we’re stuck in a system
Let's do a thought experiment. Floating in an otherwise completely empty region of space is a bomb. It explodes. For quite some time after the explosion entropy will be decreasing in that region. I really don't see the mystery here.
This is exactly how you get Bell Riots.

I find it exceedingly likely that they lose money on every kindle fire sold (at least during one of their regular sales), unless it causes more content sales. So the solution is of course to make it as useless as possible for anything else, otherwise they would just lose more. Same as inkjet printers.
I bought a pretty early Kobo like 10+ years ago and found myself very underwhelmed with the software situation. I sold it and went back to my kindle.

Maybe it's time to take a second look. The hacker in me's interest is piqued.

Frankly though, the biggest thing that keep me on Kindle these days I suspect are hard to replicate. For example, automatic audio book/kindle sync where I can switch back and forth, listening to the audio book in my car and reading at home in bed. For two, read.amazon.com where I can read from my locked down work machine without installing anything. The whole whispersync ecosystem.
I like to look for reviews that discuss specific menu items, good or bad. Everything else is not really helpful
> And yes, ending the Russian-Ukrainian war is in fact de-escalation, even if giving Russia what they want is the outcome.

It's siding with the aggressor, and makes the soil more fertile for more such aggression.

So if I try to steal your baby, and you catch me and we fight, and it gets really loud and people are inconvenienced and all that, so someone steps in and says "stop fighting, both go on your way", and I leave with your baby, that's de-escalation? Not even in your dreams. You can only stoop to this from the ivory tower of not being affected either way, or thinking you won't be. You can only call this de-escalation when you are not the victim. You wouldn't do it otherwise, ever.
It has been durable for a few cycles. There was the Boudin recall and now the recent election
Because our priority is having the page load quickly, and having to load data for 3k+ counties on a national map would slow things down. The state view is a compromise between speed and giving the user enough info to then go more granular by checking the state view they're interested in.
Perhaps the best trick is to use an electric rice-cooker, then you need to think only about one parameter, the amount of water to add.

And his well documented history of spouting bullshit and flim-flam.
Reminds me, will this system control both regen and friction brakes?
And I will, that passage is intentionally written to mislead in a self-serving way. If you know the math behind it you understand that it's technically correct, but a layman or a cursory reading will leave you with a wildly incorrect idea.
People always say this, and yet it just seems more like SF is the tip of the spear to changes that the rest of the area faces. I remember when people were decrying the homeless epidemic in SF only for El Camino in South Bay to start having significant homeless population spring up. And then LA’s housing problem also got markedly worse. And people decry that it’s “Californian” politics only for the same problems to pop up later in their neck of the woods. These are growing systemic national and global problems with our social fabric falling apart and the response for many seems to be “take care of me first”. You even see it with the huge political backlash globally.
> If your relationship with me involves any kind of labor for you then it's not a good relationship and you should leave as soon as possible.

Good luck jumping from relationship to relationship trying to find a perfect partner who requires no emotional labor on your part. Oh , you have found one? First of all: so you think because you did it, everyone can do it? Do you realize a large percentage of people are desperate to be in a relationship, yet very few even manage to find one that lasts more than a few years?

If you did find a perfect partner: how long have you been together? The first few years tend to feel perfect for most relationships, even those that turn really sour after that. I would wait at least 10 years to reach any conclusions.
I'd wager there's probably a social factor too: if for any reason a given population is slightly better at X then X becomes more popular which leads to more support, more practitioners and in turn this becomes self-reinforcing.
You ask in effect: 'How is it that a data collection

- whose cardinality is well into the hundreds of millions, likely close to half a billion (500,000,000);

- which has been maintained for now just about exactly a hundred years;

- which predates birth certificates and birth records being common across large swaths of the country (not predates their systematization or encoding, but predates their reliable existence);

- which for a lot of its history has been maintained by hand,

should come to have occasional inconsistencies?'

So framed in knowledge of the Social Security Administration's history, I confide the question may reveal its own answer.

Amazon asks you to verify the upload was intended, by sending a link you need to click. It's been like that for years.
It's probably not. At this point I would place my hope in second order effects. But I'm not the sort of person to do that.

No, your thinking of a stateful IPv4 home style NAT.
There's also stateless subnet mapping.
There's nothing wrong with this, and it's common at universities that have large IPv4 allocations.

it appears to me that redington is main accused and aws role is mostly as kind of witness. Headline is sensationalized, aws is named in fir, its not accused.
Oh my... you really need to look around you. The world of relationships is a fucking mess. You speak as if it's super easy. How old are you? 18? If you haven't been in a bad relationship or brokenhearted, I can only assume you're in completely unexperienced or one of the luckiest people on Earth. You need to drink a huge amount of reality tea.
Sure, except:

A) some are being fired because they did what their bosses asked them to (legally) in the previously administration.

B) some of them are being fired because refusing to do illegal things is considered "disloyal" by the current administration.

Really appreciated this comment. Thank you!
For an additional reference: the 100m Olympic times are ~10s, so if you'd run at a sprinter pace it'd be 1:40/km. Marathon times are insane.
That's ingenuoua. He posted the ssa's process for culling 115 year olds above. Also, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Presently, there is no evidence.

This is precisely why business and government are different entities. Business is a wealth-creating opportunity with less responsibility. Government may not be low-latency, but its aim is to be responsible and correct. Confusing the two is a major problem.
No it’s not. This isn’t a developing country.

A grocery chain will see maybe one outage in 10 years that is bad enough to take out the store and internet+cell phone networks.

Dispatching someone is absolutely more cost effective for these rare occasions.
6.2m/s or 22km/h (20ft/s or 13.8mph). The average human can definitely sprint faster than that, but obviously can't keep up that speed for long.
Arguably it's still the most powerful one due to the fact it's holding 70% of desktop machines hostage to this day.

Yeah, that one's a bit silly.
This looks great. Is there by out-of-the-box usable e-reader that supports SSH? Air still has some manual steps/maintenance.

For comparison, I've used PostmarketOS on Pinephone, and it required a lot of fiddly to get a poor experience.

But maybe the simpler usecase of "just reading" has good solutions?
If Russians were sufficiently empathetic towards the suffering of Ukrainians, if they truly felt the pain of Ukrainians as keenly as if they had experienced it themselves, they wouldn't freaking invade. But since empathy is a weak force and it's human nature to not feel much about the suffering of outsiders, Russians are not dissuaded from their war of conquest.

With regards to the weight of violence: Have you considered that "10 minutes of violent murder" may mean only 10 minutes of acute agony for the deceased but years of suffering for the deceased's surviving loved ones?

The only possible answer to your thought experiment is "I don't need s1artibartfast sitting in judgment about whether my life is appropriately balanced between violence and happiness".
This is long since solved, but due to a Gmail error, I managed to be the recipient for every email sent to google@gmail.com.

I only managed to get it fixed because I happened to know someone who worked at Google.

I would never trust Google with anything even vaguely important. If something goes wrong, it will be wrong forever.
2017 version: https://www.ruder.io/word-embeddings-2017/
This started as admonishment: that diversity, equity, and inclusion is an existing and important aspect of our education system that is being actively and unconstitutionally destroyed. It became something more, because the crisis we face if we allow the current situation to proceed is much greater than the degradation of our education->corporation pipeline.

The people that are reimplementing Jim Crow apartheid in America under the guise of protecting us from diversity, equity, and inclusion are the same people who have been actively undermining the education system in America, from banning accepted science such as evolution to clever extortion schemes diverting collective funds from public education to private religious/ideological indoctrination. As part of the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion from American society, Trump has mandated that schools teach a false version of American history that forbids acknowledging that the USA has ever done racist things. They are currently working to completely eliminate the Department of Education.

Meanwhile, in between threatening to arrest congresspeople, commentators, and journalists for clear first-amendment-protected speech and retweeting literal white supremacist propaganda, Elon Musk is guiding his strike team of blackhats and/or neonazis to completely purge the government of patriotic workers and destroy its ability to do anything but wage offensive wars and enforce the radical puritanical mores of millenarian "Christian" sects. The American people (and indeed, citizens of the developed world) currently exist in a hyperreality that requires self-deprivation to clear the fog of algorithmic far-right radicalization employed by our media companies social and traditional. We suck at that. The history of countries in analogous situations is bleak: we are rapidly approaching moral oblivion. There is not a human in this world who will remain unscathed by the devastation we unleash.
Cogniba – N-Back Training for Brain Performance
LAUNCH DAY!!!

I started building this startup 2 years ago. My first idea was targeting schools, since kids are the ones who get the biggest benefit out of brain training. However, I struggled to see get any traction.

1 year later, I decided to recreate the product and target it towards Brain Training enthusiasts and people on Self Improvement.

After 1 year and a lot of headaches and fun, the product is finally in a state where anyone can use it to train their brain.
Is this true though? Last time I worked on a compiler (admittedly quite a few years ago) Briggs was the bare minimum; our compiler in particular used an improvement over Callahan's hierarchical register allocation (the basic idea of which is that you should prioritize allocation in innermost loops, over a better "global" graph coloring, since spilling once in the inner loop costs way more than spilling several registers in the linear/ setup part of the code).

I would expect that only compilers for immature languages (that don't care about optimization) use naive RA.
The first list on the thread is not the greatest advice, in my opinion. But, I suppose that is a good way to start a thread: mix reasonable with unreasonable. Later commments mix security and privacy together.
Yeah, but x86 is perverse like that :^D

That's not what he's asking. He's asking why there apparently isn't a standard process to locate and clean missing data through investigation, assuming that's the issue.

Bear in mind that social security fraud is a major problem in many countries and impossibly old people is a usual indicator. The famous "blue zones" that were once studied for their long lived people are now believed to mostly be an artifact of undetected pensions fraud.
This is the same problem that I have with creationists, when they say that life cannot emerge from "rocks". Still, we are a walking bag of electrico-chemical reactions based on the same basic minerals that are found everywhere on the planet. There is no "specific, invisible component" that would make us alive, but an incredibly complex arrangement of minerals and metals.
In the same way, what would make the mind impossible to duplicate? Unless you believe that there an inscrutable, extra-subtile element that we cannot see or demonstrate? The soul maybe?
So basically, every argument against AGI fells in the category of religious beliefs.
The standard answer is that apparently the initial state of our universe had a low entropy and that has been increasing ever since.
I'm using a library card outside of the U.S. with Libby and send all my loans to my Kindle via amazon.de, works fine
The technology isn't new. There has been some change in supply chain availability with the ability to produce super cheap electronics and servos. Honestly, this could be pretty great for safety overall with improvements to emergency braking performance alone.

You can still retain a redundant mechanical emergency brake.

Not really a big leap, you almost wonder why we haven't done it yet. People understand that we currently rely on power braking and steering for existing vehicles, this is taking that next step. I think anyone who has lost steering and braking power while driving should kind of automatically understand why it might be ok.

I do have my doubts for steering by wire in cars however.
Not an original thought, but I wonder if the answer - or part of it - to the Fermi paradox is that we don't know all the ways it's possible for a planet in the Goldilocks Zone to be otherwise hostile to life.

Liquid water and.. chemistry leading to an ambient pH of 2 or 12.

Method of acquiring is not necessarily equal to knowledge.

I never liked learning from books. I often played with code myself. In the long term I think this had some negative effect, where I did not learn all the things but used more common solutions over and over.

I like writing with LLMs, as it sometimes show a pattern I never could think of. This also teaches me new ways to solve a problem / write a code.
And that means what?

Data values are nothing without the exact context in which they were created and the exact context in which they are used. That's like level 1 data analysis.

Publishing such data without context is deceitful.
