> That's not necessarily a bad thing. You can leverage whatever you're mortgagibg as an asset (or in this case, whatever portion of the property you now own).

"Not necessarily a bad thing" is the argument that it could have benefits under some circumstances. It's the argument that it should be allowed, not that its alternative should be prohibited.

The obvious cost is that you're paying more per month. Essentially, if you want a place to live, you're required to pay more in order to invest in real estate, even if you don't have any surplus to invest or you would rather invest in something else.

> I just think you should get ownership over some portion of the assets you are de-facto paying for.

When you rent, the landlord is covering the interest on the mortgage loan, property tax, maintenance, etc. The rent covers their costs and some profit to make it worth their trouble, which they often use to start paying off the mortgage. If there is no profit, there is no landlord to pay to build the building and either you can afford to buy it outright or you're homeless. So if you want to build capital, the money that goes to that capital is additional money on top of the rent, i.e. you'd be paying more per month because you'd be getting something you don't get when you rent. You're basically saying you think poor people should have higher expenses so the extra money can be used to force them to invest in real estate.

> Well, stalled developments are a problem across basically every metro market in the country. They don't make their money by building, they make their money by waiting for the labor market to make an eventual sale profitable.

They still make their money by building, you've just passed regulations that make building so expensive that it isn't profitable until rents are unreasonably high, e.g. by requiring them to knock down an existing multi-story building in order to add housing because most of the land is zoned exclusively for single family homes.
They have to be, really, lest their house of cards come crashing down on them. Sam thought they were safe, that they had enough of a moat, but when a bunch of (really great) chinese quant engineers beat them with minimal resources, suddenly the fight was on again.

I am a huge fan of everything coming out of China and Europe lately. OpenAI needed competitors, this forces them to actually deliver graspable bussiness benefits, not just smoke and mirrors.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Some good advice I once received was to just be with those feelings. Don't try to overcome it or fight it but acknowledge it and let it be, it's normal. The acutely painful feelings will diminish over time and you will gain strength and the capacity to move on in healthy ways. Good luck :)
The toughest part of this wasn't setting up different videos to play on each screen but rather the "run videos simultaneously through a web browser" part. So even if you could decode and process such a large video on those Chromebooks, it wouldn't help with video sync. That's not to mention the other challenges with installing the software and getting it to autoload on startup.
No brain fog. I walk at a very brisk pace ~6 miles a day. My calories are far less than before I started. I have to be very careful to have enough protein. When I exert myself, the recovery period is the same time as before.

Blue states just have bigger urban areas. It's an urban rural difference. I don't have the numbers off hand but I wouldn't be surprised if NY would be a red state if you excluded Manhattan and the other boroughs
The way to square this is to realize that the stated goals are not the real goals. USDS and 18F were doing the work that DOGE purports to want to do. Less than 2 months into the administration, they have been gutted and terminated, respectively.
Is “area” just a box filter, which is what it sounds like? If so, it gives really blurry results; hardly great.

Passwords are data that, once you've built a system that requires you store them, must be kept forever, with basically zero tolerance for loss or unavailability (so you have to make them continuously available to systems that validate user authentication), but also have zero tolerance for exposure. And it's a type of data that has no profit in it. You can't use it to improve UX or target ads or anything else of value.

At best, stored passwords are something you always get right and are value neutral to you. And everything below that is toxic.
I actually appreciate food far more now, because I am no longer worried that I have to consume “enough” food. A small amount is just as satisfying. A large amount makes me ill, and you only make that mistake once.
Thank you! This has been driving me crazy ever since I switched to Firefox.
What's happening is a destruction of institutions, under the guise of efficiency.

If your goal was to establish authoritarian system and/or oligarchy in the US within a year and without firing any bullets, what would you do differently to what's happening now? Honest question I've been thinking about lately. My current answer is that the diff is not that big.

Yes, there's much to be done about efficiency/productivity on the government part, but this is not what's being done.

I am not sure if Elon is deliberate (similar to how "X is about free speech", DOGE is about "government efficiency" i.e. fake ideology to push some agenda) or an useful idiot (believes that all he's doing is improving efficiency, without realizing the consequences of destroying the institutions), but that's not the main point. The point is that fundamental institutions are being destroyed very, very quickly, without real oversight. This has important and negative consequences to democracy.
> IRS was in the works to onboard Login.gov (to replace ID.me)

Has anyone agency completed replacing ID.me with Login.gov?

For that matter do any agencies that support both Login.gov and ID.me have a way for users to switch which one they use?

When the ssa.gov first started asking people who used username/password login to add one of Login.gov or ID.me, I picked ID.me because I already had an ID.me account for use with the IRS and did yet have a Login.gov account.

Since then I've gotten a Login.gov account and would prefer to use that with ssa.gov but there doesn't appear to be any way to set that up. There's nothing I can find in account settings to add another login method to an account.

Respectfully, that’s not a very “hacker” way of seeing the world. Hackers learn from their mistakes and adapt. (Just like this software company is doing.)
Honestly, for me it's a huge silver lining that this generation's descent into facism is as bumbling, incompetent and ineffectual as it is proving so far. We might learn the lesson this time before we actually do tip into world wars and genocide, purely by the price tag of the metaphorical egg.
Privatizing is a key step on the path to full oligarchy. So I would guess that yes.
A group of very smart people who are highly knowledgeable about some governments systems were fired overnight. I wonder if any one of them will be disgruntled and take some sort of action.
Nim. Fantastic choice for modern headless software. Simple obvious type system, preference for immutability and referential transparency. Dynamic collections are by default managed by hidden unique pointers on the stack. So the default RC isn't necessary unless explicitly invoked for a ref type.

Currently solo managing a 30k line data analysis application I built for my company. Easily fits in my head given the obvious pyramidal functional-like structure. Maybe two lines of memory semantics anywhere in the entire thing, and only one module that's OO with a constrained scope. Lots of static data files (style sheets, fonts) slurped up as const strings at compile time. Incredible performance. Invoked by our PHP server backend, so instead of doing parallel or async in the analysis, the server gets that through batch invocation.

Working stupid well for our product, plus I can easily compile binaries that run on ARM and RISC-V chips for our embedded team just by invoking the proper gcc backend.

Replaced an ailing and deliberately obfuscated 20 year old jumble of C and PHP designed to extort an IP settlement from my company. Did it in a year.
Usually it’s best in an operational type role, can be support, sre, tpm, etc. depending on your strengths. It’s best when paired with good comms and somewhat good social skills.

You build credibility by jumping in and doing a lot of support type stuff early on (which then also makes you better at whatever the product is, more familiar with what sucks for users).

Yes, in my mind there is. The congress and the executive branch are not in exact lockstep, just as they were not in Trumps first administration either. There are plenty of influential Republicans who push back on one thing or another, and prevent or obstruct administration agenda. I already gave an example. For those who hate Trump there is value in understanding this, as it can be worked with

What I honestly find most interesting about this is the thought that hallucinations might lead to the kind of emergent language design we see in natural language (which might not be a good thing for a computer language, fwiw, but still interesting), where people just kind of thing "language should work this way and if I say it like this people will probably understand me".

You absolutely know that’s not what I’m talking about.

> when you have below average body fat %

I can't speak to their choice of taking the drug, but it's wild how warped people's perceptions are now of what constitutes "healthy" and "fat" thanks to the obesity epidemic. People remark on how George Costanza on Seinfeld was once considered fat (because he was), or how Homer's scale-tipping 300 lbs. in the King-Size Homer episode of The Simpsons was considered comically obese (because it was). Never mind the fact that people almost always underestimate how fat they actually are and are almost always disappointed by their DEXA scans. Even if the OP's estimate is correct that they're just a little north of 20% BF (as a man), they're still overweight, and specifically overfat, and probably look soft and doughy.
Coincidentally, this kind of thing is why you'll get 4K streaming on some browser/platform combinations but not the others. For example, Netflix will only give you 4K on Windows if you're using Edge or their own app.
If you want to spend more time on this I think one fun idea would be an infinite bouncing DVD logo. Just sync the location of the logo every time it bounces so all devices have a consistent view and then the individual screens can compute whether and how much of the logo to show and at which location.
Don't put down to stupidity anything that could be proscribed as malice (or something to that effect...)
I think this shows a fundamental, widespread misunderstanding of space flight in general:

> you’d be developing new technology all along the way

Aerospace does not work like this. Hardware does not evolve until launch, it is frozen in time to allow for testing and flight qualification for subsystems, and systems as a whole.
Why do you need a management engine for that? Couldn’t you just bond the connections to the ones you want and leave the other disconnected? Basically just have all chips next to each other on the die and only use one?

Everyone is responsible for their own behaviour but if the legislature doesn't function nothing else will either. And we know the legislature has progressively become less functional, less bipartisan, less legislation passed every decade.
You have a stance that would be unfair to ask you to explain via HN. Instead I’ll just ask, what’s a good starting point for understanding why you think the government needs to be unraveled? Libertarianism or something akin to anarcho-capitalism?
D and Crystal always fascinate me. And if Go is a system language, Erlang and Common Lisp are even more so.
Yes, you are being too cynical. There is no way that anyone who chose to work at 18F - a place that exists to make government actually more efficient, that has a reputation for quality and execution, and that doesn't pay nearly as well as the private sector - is at all okay with Musk's slash-and-burn version of "efficiency". This kind of message exists to point out the difference: if you actually care about efficiency and good governance, you wouldn't possibly dream of firing these people. Hanlon's razor can't even explain it; even if you're an absolute moron you wouldn't do it. The only possible explanation is actual malice.
Sure sounds like an anxiety/fear response :)
I do agree that changing policy is a separate, yet complimentary, step. But maybe the poor are disproportionately audited because the IRS doesn't have the funding to effectively target the rich and succeed? Maybe with better funding, they could successfully extract more tax dollars from the rich, incearsing the ROI of funding the agency?

I don't think further funding the agency is a completely nutty idea. Although if you truly believe the agency is broken, and that being broken isn't related to their funding, then I could understand your perspective. I lean more towards the idea that at least some, maybe even most, of the issues they have might be due to a lack of funding. That makes more sense to me than most of the criticisms I've heard of the IRS, which seem to mostly be on partisan idealism framed as otherwise.
The point of the cuts is not cost reduction. It’s to punish the federal bureaucracy, which the populist right perceives as ideologically opposed to themselves.
Yup. They’re as out of touch as any other willfully arrogant rich guy. It’s pretty depressing because tech billions seem to be the king makers now so we gotta listen to what they have to say. SMH.

> Jason Calcanis suggest that the USPS go down to one delivery day per week because no one uses it

It seems like there are two possible reasons he could've made a statement like this:

- He is utterly detached from reality and how the world works, shocking for someone who is at such an elevated position in industry. Borderline disabled.

- He is stating this dishonestly, not because he believes it but to signal to other right-wing reactionary zealots in his peer group that he would support dismantling the most critical institutions in his society in order to enrich members of his tiny class at the expense of everyone else.

I'm inclined to believe it's the latter.
It depends. The 5mg, 10mg, and 15mg were the doses tested and recommended as maintence doses. The 2.5mg is meant as a starter to reduce side effects but since most people don't see results with it the recommendation is that you only take it for 4 weeks. The 7.5mg and 12.5mg doses are meant as transitional doses but you can stay on them longer than 4 weeks.

Some doctors will go by the Lilly recommendations but I think more are allowing people to stay on the lowest dose providing benefits. That leaves your health insurance as the only other obstacle.

There is a chart at https://zepbound.lilly.com/hcp/dosage

I was one of the rare people that saw results with 2.5mg but by the end of that first month I had plateaued. After 3 months at 5.0mg I've plateaued again and will probably move up to 7.5mg in the near future and stay on it as long as I can.

Some people like to go back to 2.5mg as their maintence dose after reaching their weight loss goals.
Exactly my experience. It's always missing something. And the generated code often can't be extended to fulfil those missing aspects.

Okay, now that these are clearly against the stated goals, you must then ask and answer for yourself: what are DOGE's unstated goals?

By looking at Musk's tweets about it being a "far-left" group (plus his two Nazi salutes) and DOGE's emphasis on cutting DEI/sexual and racial minority programs, the unstated goals are clear and loud. If you don't look for the unstated goals and only listen to people's words rather than their actions, you're going to be blindsided by a lot more cruelty and not see it coming.

I'm not defending Apple here, but -- yes they definitely would? And then they'd get sound on a second pass at regular speed.

If pirates couldn't access the underlying Netflix etc. bitstream like they've figured out, they'd absolutely be reading the desktop video buffer, which is all a screenshot is.
No shit. Vandalizing the government has been the only goal of the Republican party since at least 2016. They're just taking the masks off now.
Apologies for asking, what example? There doesn’t seem to be much obstructing the agenda except Judges.
The thing is they aren't intellectually deficient. They are deliberately spreading propaganda, to try and make an oligarchic takeover of the United States seem more palatable to the masses.

They are working to secure the conditions for themselves that the French royalty and elite had in 1788, while preventing the masses from reacting how they did in France.

So, no, I don't believe that they're intellectually deficient. They're just liars.

Did they have unfettered power? This is obviously a non sequitur.
The goal isn’t to make financial cuts. If it was… well, you wouldn’t start here. I bet 18F easily pays for itself in shared eng resources, reduced support and similar things.

The goal is to destroy the US government, so it can be privatized and sold off. Same as what happened in Russia.

I guess I'm much more of the "materialize the shuffle asychronously from the training loop" kind of person. I agree, the materialization storage cost is very high, but that's normally been a cost I've been willing to accept.

As an ML infra guy I have had to debug a lot of failing jobs over the years, and randomizing datapipes are one of the hardest to debug. Sometimes there will be a "record-of-death" that randomly gets shuffled into a batch, but only causes problems when it is (extremely rarely) coupled with a few other records.

I guess I'll just have to update my priors and accept that inline synchronous randomization with random reads is a useful-enough access pattern in HPC that it should be optimized for. Certainly a lot more work and complexity, hence my question of just how necessary it is.
That's not an argument. There is no law that prevents me from taking screenshots therefore I should be able to do it
Correct, that is exactly what they’re trying to do.
One could similarly point to Putin’s actions as bringing us closer to nuclear war. Acknowledge how close the world is to nuclear war, sure, but it’s hardly an argument against stabilizing Ukraine against Russia.
Okay let's take a deep breath and read slowly:

- The US is making enemies out of ex allies

Not the other way around. It seems difficult to understand for americans, for some reason, but the order of the words does matter.
