It’s not just zoning restrictions that caused housing prices to increase.

1. There was a lot of money circulating during the COVID pandemic as a result of very low interest rates and other practices intended to stimulate the economy. More money chasing a limited supply of assets means that those assets cost more.

2. WFH during COVID made many areas of the country more desirable since those with remote jobs were not limited to the locations of their employers. I’ve seen exurban areas in California face skyrocketing home prices in 2020-2021 due to WFH demand; Los Baños is a prime example.

3. There may have been increased demand in second- and third-tier cities from those who have been priced out of first- and second-tier cities. For example, Sacramento (my hometown) always gets a large number of former Bay Area residents whenever housing prices in the latter place spike.
The housing crisis in Ireland was caused by the state allowing the construction industry to die off almost entirely after the financial crisis (likely driven by incorrect projections that assumed that Ireland would return to our traditional pre-90s perma-recession, with the working-age population largely going back to emigrating). Most developed countries kept the construction sector on life support to some extent after the bubble burst, but in Ireland it essentially vanished.

Today, Ireland has the highest rate of housing unit completions per capita per year in the OECD, but it still isn’t enough, because there was a decade where housing completions were, essentially, _zero_ per year.

A secondary factor is a fairly painful planning process; getting planning can take _years_, and is subject to derailment via judicial review. This hits both housing directly, and infrastructure essential to housing. There are currently four major Dublin rail projects in advanced states of planning (DART+ West, DART+ Southwest, DART+ North, Metrolink), which, combined, will more or less double peak-time rail commuting capacity. Metrolink has been dramatically delayed by planning objections, and DART+ West is now under judicial review, and may be, ah, derailed.
Somebody is trying to be more inclusive (because what else would any attempt at translating content be?). It's okay to have an opinion about, well, anything, but, what I think is "deeply disrespectful" is completely ignoring good intentions and pretending to be able to speak for a group of people in an overly forceful and authoritative manner.

The only reaction more adverse than the one you get asking coders about remote voting is the one you get asking finance people about transparency and anticorruption. It's an open secret at this point that any effort that would weed out a significant proportion of the fraud would cripple our finance sector overall just because everyone who runs it would be in prison.

> Jefferson proposed to let the constitution expire every 19 years.

This is a terrible idea, actually. The risks of opening the door to majorly modifying the Constitution are very, very high. There are a lot of core freedoms (speech, arms, press come to mind) that would likely come off worse, not better, were we to do so. Which get hit hardest would depend mostly on who's in office at the time, which is extra bad.

Anyway, that was yet another really fucked up thing for you to say, broski, considering my entire sector has repeatedly been brought to starvation and used as the world's bank of "artificial intelligence" (first by brain drain, then by outsourcing - once yall realized our people might want to raise families too, what, in your backyard?) before enough smart people slipped through the cracks of the education system to accumulate the corpus of knowledge required for building human-free stochastic parrots.

Think about that the next time you feed your lovely children their mandatory freedom fries.
Ban high frequency trading, ban instant transactions (put them on hold for some time before buying/selling (hours minmum, longer for larger quantities), make the held transactions public, and tax the profits on a time-owned scale.

This would turn "investments" into investments again... you really believe that company XY will do something good? Buy stocks and keep them for few years until they grow. Politican John Bobson dumps his stock of ZX company? Well, now we know before they actually get dumped, and can sell our stocks too.

Buying stocks of a company for 1.7 seconds and selling them back is not an 'investment' by any kind of proper definition.

Show HN: 30-day Slack AI trail ran out
After my 30-day trial on Slack AI ran out I decided to build my own version: Catch Up.

I really enjoyed the ability to make summaries of channels to catch up on the latest activities.
The reason for building my own was because of Slacks AI pricing being so expensive.

If your trial also ended you could check out Catch Up and get a new 30-day trial.

Let me know what you think!
You could always make sure it could only increase and not decrease privacy or what have you.

Similarly, the "expire every 19 years" must always be included and must never be removed.

> Isn't the problem that this allows for all kinds of forms of insider trading?

No, it doesn't. All trades are made public after they happen, as per regulations. There is no difference to insider trading regulations if a bad actor trades via a lit exchange or via a dark pool. Dark pools only "hide" pre-trade information, such as standing buy or sell limit orders.

>> Yeah, everybody wants to be the Karate Kid who binged karate studies in one montage and then won the tournament instead of training in the dojo for years and still having to cheat to come close to winning (and still failing) like the chumps at Cobra Kai.

Goldman and others got in trouble for selling access to the supposedly secret orders in their dark pools back in the day.

They were fined 800k I think?

I believe dark pools started growing post flashboys when people realising what hft meant and wanted an escape (see comment below). But as they got big they became a target in and of themselves (ecology in action I guess).

I worked in algo trading at the time (not hft, but anti hft)
My bad; QFT actually postulates locality. I was thinking about the casual set theory which strives to solve some of the QFT's difficulties, and where locality is an emergent / statistical phenomenon rather than a postulated condition.

One of his earliest great works is one that indicated wrong in the foundational aspect of the theory, namely incompatibility with E&M Maxwell equations and Galilean Transformations and E&M equations not being invariant under those transformations. The principle of symmetry is one of the foundation issues in physics. He also had th wisdom of understanding of the physics of new transformation, Lorentz transformation, which we know today as Special Relativity.

Yes, of course he was well-trained and had the enough background, but also the problem at the time was the type of problem that was solvable (i.e. no limitation in terms of tech) and that required new framework with new understanding.
That's an incredibly insightful observation, I'm sure they've never considered that and will be really disappointed the first time there's rain or fog.
It seems odd, doesn’t it? For those of us living to agree or disagree with someone’s singularly personal choice about the terms and timing of their chosen end.

Do we? I'm no Musk supporter by any means, but Rober's testing seems to have substantial methodology flaws and potential 'questions'. In the article, for instance, you can see he activates autopilot while the car is at 39mph. The set point is also 39mph. When you see the next shot when autopilot is not activated (right before the 'brick wall' crash), the car is driving 42mph. Standard autopilot would not accelerate beyond the set point (which, by default, should be the exact speed you're currently driving). How would the speed manage to go up an additional 3mph unless Rober was pressing the accelerator to override it?
OK, agreed on most of that.

LLM pricing makes no sense. Why pay the same rate for tokens that are in/out of the context window when that's 99% of performance.

Now the burden is on the user to somehow guess or reverse-engineer the internals of your model
I think performance is an underappreciated benefit of safe languages that compile to machine code.

If you're writing your program in C, you're afraid of shooting yourself in the foot and introducing security vulnerabilities, so you'll naturally tend to avoid significant refactorings or complicated multithreading unless necessary. If you have Rust's memory safety guarantees, Go's channels and lightweight goroutines, or the access to a test runner from either of those languages, that's suddenly a lot less of a problem.

The compiler guarantees you get won't hurt either. Just to give a simple example, if your Rust function receives an immutable reference to a struct, it can rely on the fact that a member of that struct won't magically be mutated by a call to some random function through spooky action at a distance. It can just keep it on the stack / in a callee-saved register instead of fetching it from memory at every loop iteration, if that's more optimal.

Then there's the easy access to package ecosystems and extensive standard libraries. If there's a super popular do_foo package, you can almost guarantee that it was a bottleneck for somebody at some point, so it's probably optimized to hell and back. It's certainly more optimized than your simple 10-line do_foo function that you would have written in C, because that's easier than dealing with yet another third-party library and whatever build system it uses.

"As the cost of creating software with AI assistance drops to near zero"

The thing is, writing the code for software has always been the cheapest part.

If 20% of software is writing code, 80% is all those things AI cannot solve.

Software is not a technical feat. Never was, at least not when in a monetary and professional setting.

Writing code is the easy part.

It depends on whether you have better people skills or better reading comprehension. I use whatever source gets me the answer fastest as I am skilled in both. That's not true for everyone, but being able to use a decision tree where you have both options is a big part of being a 10x programmer IMHO.

It's manipulation by definition. These hidden trades exist to prevent other people from being able to act in their own best interest based on available information. This isn't about what's going on in your neighbor's house. Your neighbor's house is private, markets are public. This is about being at a public auction in the middle of bidding on something when someone else walks up to the crier, whispers a few words in his ear, and then the crier just quietly says "bidding is closed" and you have no idea who bought the item or for what price but now you have to try to price similar items.
"Italian astronomers report the detection of a new X-ray binary (XRB), which has received the designation 4XMM J181330.1-17511 (J1813 for short).

Show HN: Vinci Logic – Detection and Response as Code for SOC Teams
Hi HN,

I'm excited to launch Vinci Logic, a SOC platform that implements detection and response as code. Vinci Logic allows detection engineers to specify how each alert is qualified, triaged, investigated, and responded to in a unified workflow.

What sets Vinci Logic apart:

Detection and Response as Code: Write and version control your entire security response workflow using YAML
End-to-end Alert Management: Define how alerts are qualified, triaged, investigated, and acted upon
AI-assisted Rule Creation: Build better detection rules with our built-in AI assistant
AI-powered Alert Response: Get intelligent response recommendations for faster remediation
OpenSearch Integration: Currently supporting OpenSearch for log analytics with plans to expand to additional data lakes

We built Vinci Logic after experiencing the disconnection between detection systems and response processes in SOCs. By bringing these workflows together in code, security teams can create more consistent, auditable, and efficient security operations.

I'd love to hear feedback from the HN community, especially from those working in security operations. What challenges do you face in your detection and response workflows? What features would you like to see in a platform like this?

Check out our website at https://vincilogic.com or get in touch with me at tradah@sekera-group.com.

Thanks!

> People don't really care about privacy,

They really do. Do you have anything other than a blind assertion to back this up?

Yea, so, looks like they do care.

They were lied to, baited in, and the terms switched. Your assertion is ridiculous and one sided.

They're not sophisticated enough to understand the landscape around them and assume the laws are actually being enforced. What a corrupt position you have taken here.
I lived in both San Francisco and Lisbon, and the only glaring similarities are the two bridges and the many hills. The Lisbon I love is much more charming, less money-oriented, less pretentious, and safer. The sad thing is that it's becoming much more like America. The more it tries to become like San Francisco, the sadder I become.

To say that "most companies are < 100 employees" would be to understate the margin by which that is true. According to https://www.naics.com/business-lists/counts-by-company-size/, there are 17,769,699 companies total in the US, of which 166,964 are > 100 employees (leaving the unknowns to one side). That's less than 1%.

Supply Chain Security Is Fubar – A Proposal for GitHub
Surely not. If you're seeding a PRNG from multiple sources of entropy, you generally concatenate them. Or if you were limited in bytes you'd XOR them.

This is why, in an app, you might seed with timestamp and process ID and /dev/urandom, in case any of them happen to be non-unique or unsupported.

Making the transport layer faster makes some architectures more performant. If you can simply swap out the transport layer that's a way easier optimization than rearchitecting an app that is correct but slow.
The article is basically arguing "immigrant founders good because look at all of these fictitious valuation companies they start and run." Whether you agree with this will be a function of your belief in the data on the topic. The data overwhelmingly shows these valuations are propped up by the VC ecosystem for self interested reasons (greater fool theory), and are not valuations grounded in commonly agreed upon financial fundamentals (and the benefits of these enterprises are tenuous at best), so the appeal to emotion is not effective (in my opinion).

”In God we trust. All others must bring data.”
Completely. I interact with data people sometimes at work. There are bespoke one-of-a-kind venvs and giant notebooks everywhere. But that's okay. They don't have our job, it is not their job to build robust & properly deployed software. They know how to do their thing and we shouldn't lecture them on how to do it the "proper" way. Because I sure don't know how to do what they do - Pandas & matplotlib take me hours of googling to do anything.

I completely see the value in this tool for a particular style of programming.

Imagine the reverse: A police department vows not to use social media to help predict where to deploy their forces to protect public safety. That sounds like malpractice.

If you look up RegNMS the goal is to make public markets fair by having rules that have to be met in order to trade. Dark pools allow participants to 'hide' information that's not public. It is mostly about the order books. If dark pool sell order for 1B of TSLA stock goes on the order book, only other members of the pool get that information. The dark pools are required to still follow RegNMS rules for trade prices, but there is an inherent asymmetry in the market information in this case as the dark pool participants can see the public markets and their dark pool in order to make trading decisions.

In your neighbor's house example, it would be like if there was a street market auction for trading cards happening in your neighbor's front yard, but in the house your neighbor and another neighbor had gotten together to trade 100x the average #of cards using the prices they hear from outside, and the people outside only see the deal they made after it's done.

GitHub is my current go-to example of an individual oriented application with business features shoehorned into it.

For awhile GitHub was rather unavoidably the only place in my company where there was no reliable line between personal and professional accounts/systems.

I moved us to Forgejo after trialing it against Github (and GitLab, and Gitea).

At a prior employer everyone just used their personal GitHub accounts for the business. Once it became a “capital-E-Enterprise” making promises about things like employee SSO, they quickly retreated to an on-premise platform (not GitHub EE).
No, "I am XYZ hedge fund and I want to buy stock ABC" is not material non-public information to XYZ hedge fund. If it was, any buying or selling of stocks would always be illegal, since you would be "insider trading" on your desire to buy the stock.
