> they get to sell more hardware that way

This claim is frequently repeated, but does not reflect reality for those who buy Apple devices. When iPads actually meet user needs, the result is iPad proliferation, not replacement of MacBooks. An iPad with macOS/Linux VM is needed for adhoc time-sensitive tasks which require non-iOS software, like a quick doc edit or Unix toolchain. For scheduled work sessions, Macbook is better.

As the article noted, there is a $3500 iPad. If that iPad variant ran macOS/Linux VMs, it would sell more units. Anyone willing to spend that much money for portability and convenience would not blink at buying a Macbook for other use cases.
The Madgeburg terrorist is a Saudi Arabic refugee which dislikes the Islam and not really an AfD supporter, but mentioned that he liked some position regarding the Islam critique the party has.

The Mannheim terrorist is indeed a German but I guess that the exception confirms the rule.

Overall all extrem attacks if from right, left, foreigners are an issue and need to be adressed accordingly. The problem which the Germany people have with the current state of affairs is that the bad behaving asylum seekers mostly the ones from the middle east get a soft treatment to say the least when they commit heinous crimes and the deterrence of appropriate punishment through law and order is not given.

Governments around the world do not want to stop at the identifiable target. They'd like to imitate the US and China, obtaining special deals with service providers that allow them to collect summary statistics and identify individuals computationally from the total of all communication.

Here are a few uses for total surveillance:

1. Public opinion can be monitored on a much more objective level than polling provides.

2. Discontent can be identified long before potential protestors are aware of others who share their views.

3. People whose views are significantly outside the usual range can be picked out and targeted in advance of any crime, even when no crime would occur.

4. Serious attempts at labor or protest organization can be resolved into definite schedules with more basis for comparison to other events than the participants themselves have access to.

5. There would be no more electoral surprises.

From this list, you may notice that states that are presently democratic have even more of a use for this capability than the others.

> using this definition everything is Natural, including fore example Complex numbers, which is obviously incorrect

No, that's not "obviously incorrect", nor does it invalidate my argument: that is my exact argument. Complex numbers appear in electromagnetism, in exactly the same sense of "appear", as whole numbers appear in herds of sheep. Which is to say, it's the simplest and most useful model of the situation. And what's more natural than one of the four fundamental forces of nature? And the weak & strong nuclear forces have even more esoteric math structures appearing in their most parsimonious models as well.

> "No Foxes - All Clear" is not the same thing (the same level of abstraction) as 0.

In your model. In my model, it is the same thing. All models are wrong; some models are useful. Which one is more useful? Almost always, the one with 0 as a natural number. What about this:

type PrairieDogFoxCount = NoFoxesAllClear | JustOneFox | ACoupleOfFoxes | SeveralFoxes 3..5 | ManyFoxes

I can make any model as complex as I want; that does not prove some other model wrong.
It does and they do. A used car is cheaper to source than a new one which means it can be sold to more consumers at higher margin.

My favorite example of this being JSON gets converted to FormData on the frontend, which then gets POST-ed to the server, which then converts it to JSON on the backend.
I agree, it's a good goal. It should come by giving people a reason to choose public transportation first though. You'd still get all the benefits, without pissing off people who understandably don't want their lives to be worse so that eventually public transportation can get better.

Punishing drivers until they have no choice but to accept that their lives will be worse is not a good way to promote public transportation, even if you pinkie promise that the pain will lessen over years/decades.

It's not necessary to strong arm people into using alternatives to cars if you make those alternatives genuinely better for more and more people in an increasing number of situations. As people naturally choose the path of least resistance, everything just gets better for everyone.

I talk to my AI like an AI. Meaning I acknowledge that it has a far larger scope of knowledge than me, while I have a more intimate understanding of context as I am one person in one body.

We discuss that issue at length sometimes, when I'm in a philosophical mood.

I asked it what it thought of me. Its answer was about the topics I am curious about, how I am fascinated with the role and nature of AI and communicating with AI. So it's paying attention.

I mentioned that it's answers were sometimes pedantic and categorical, which would be appropriate if I were trying to write a paper on the topic. But since I am an amateur writer, I'm more interested in inspiration, the texture and common views on a topic and appropriate ways to leverage something e.g. space settlement for human social change.

It agreed that conversational style was appropriate and said it preferred that also!
Myths are not meant to be believed literally, they tell a story about how to live in right relationship to the earth. And that's why I find the first nation stories so valuable - it's a philosophy born of a very different historical trajectory than European culture.

The Beringian Standstill hypothesis states that a group migrated out of Asia 25k years ago and were effectively trapped by glaciers in the temperate coastal plains of southern Alaska (what is now the Gulf of Alaska). When glaciers melted 15kya, sea levels rose and they start traveling south.

(You'll notice lots of references to a great flood - the globally rising sea levels no doubt leading to this myth being prevalent around the world in many cultures, first nations included)

By that point, they'd already been Americans for 10k years. There wasn't likely any conscious realization of this, no cultural memory of "Asia". But they truly were the first Americans, and way earlier than we were taught.

The result is a grand natural experiment - a group of humans completely cut off from Asia/Africa/Europe for millennia. That culture incubated in southern AK for 10k years, then spread out over the Americas for the last 15k, only to run into long lost European cousins 500 years ago. It's that long period of relative isolation that makes the first nation stories so valuable. The kind of morals, myths and values that arose from this unique historical trajectory can be quite different to philosophies of the old continents. Yet surprisingly similar (we are human after all).
The aim of dismantling government capacity is to make government profitable for oligarchs. And once government is profitable for them they will never want to give up that profit and power.
I saw this happen on a Minecraft server. It was an economy simulator based out of Sweden or Denmark. The administrator was committed to Keynesian economics. One day he wants to clear a desert to build a new town. To compensate people for working there, he used a plug-in called Shop Chests, allowing users who deposited 64 sand into the chest to receive 100 units of the server’s currency. This was substantially more than the sand was worth on the open market. Since this guy was a Keynesian, he had also built a government marketplace that bought and sold all the major blocks. Rather than spending the afternoon digging, I warped to the market, bought out the entire supply of sand, warped back to the job site, and sold the sand at the higher price.

This kind of thing happened a lot with absentee owners who would set prices for their shops lower or higher than the market price. If the owner had set up hoppers underneath the shop chest, you could effectively bankrupt him overnight. It happened a lot with minecarts, diamonds, colored wool, and things like that.
Here's an example: When asked about path buffer length in a programming context, ChatGPT 4-o claimed today tht 256 bytes is sufficient for *most systems*. That's an entirely false claim, like, completely invalid. It only says this because that's the tone that is expected of it. You can clearly tell that the info it wanted to convey was "256 is sufficient [here]" but it LOVES just making things sound more general than they are.

you aren't gonna look up if that little detail is right; you're gonna slowly absorb more and more subtly false info.

France has rejected this backdoor but keep in mind that France is still in favor of chat control (mandatory on device scanning of your communication). There's now a majority among EU countries and the proposal is expected to pass. The next meeting is April 8th.
No. Some countries don't need "census" as every citizen is sufficiently tracked and must report their official address. And so would most migrants. Meaning that with modern computer databases you can track births, deaths, immigration and emigration down to single person.
I don’t see the problem. They’re making a claim and have some evidence. That of course doesn’t mean they’re actually correct, but that’s their claim.

> I've never heard of anyone who insisted on integrating via CSV files who was also capable of consistently providing valid CSV files.

To be fair: problematic CSV files do occur. But for the functionality that the program provides, it suffices if in such a situation, an error message is shown to the user that helps him track down where the problem with the CSV file is. Or if the reading does not fail, the user can see in the visualization of the read data where the error with the CSV file was.

In other words: what is not expected is that the program gracefully has to

- automatically find out the "intended behaviour" (column separators, encoding, escaping, ...) of the CSV parsing,

- automatically correct incorrect input files.
Show HN: I made an AI-powered platform for affordable property data
My coworker and I set out to democratize access to high-quality property data without paying six figures for commercial datasets. We built a platform that leverages AI techniques, powered by OpenAI’s API, to crawl, interpret, and aggregate public property records from over 3,000 counties.

Our system uses AI to overcome the quirks and inconsistencies across county records, standardizing and indexing over 170 million property records with 100+ attributes. We offer a free API tier (up to 500 parcels per call) for exploration, with affordable paid plans and bulk data transfers for small companies.

I’m excited to share our approach and would love to hear your thoughts on how we can push it even further.

While it is true that basic sentence components like direct objects or phrases that modify the verb can be moved around without changing the meaning of the sentence in Japanese, there is a very strict head-final requirement for phrases and dependent clauses that modify nouns that makes larger sentences, especially heavily nested ones like the OP's example, virtually guaranteed to flow the opposite direction of the equivalent sentence in English.

Said example contains two dependent clauses, one inside the other. In English, dependent clauses and phrases come after the noun they modify ("suit [that] I saw", "shop that is"), while in Japanese they must come before (「見たスーツ」, 「あるお店」). Thus the resulting translation is an exact mirror of the original. This head-finality opposing head-initiality is the main reason Japanese sentences tend to flow in the opposite direction of English ones, rather than simply SOV vs SVO.

(The same also applies to the order of words within ホテルのむかいに vs. across the street from the hotel, I just don't know of a convenient single phrase to describe both constructions).
Remember he's done business on the order of billions. Now he's responsible in some way for a trillion-dollar economy. He's in way over his head, acting like he's one company in a marketplace and he can stiff customers, vendors and other businesses like there's a limitless market. Instead of only like 100 countries in the world.

In way over his head. Clueless how to behave, or what 'winning' or 'losing' might look like.
Yeah, definitely there is a big difference between something being technically better (or worse) and the actual usability of a thing. We have a long history of products that are not technically better winning out (for many reasons). I'm confident nspawn doesn't have nearly the attention and even few people know about it. Docs definitely suck. But we're also on a very technical forum, not a general audience one, so I kinda assume a context that people here are not as concerned about the user interface.
The key transformation required to make any parallel architecture work is going to be taking a program that humans can understand, and translating it into a directed acyclic graph of logical Boolean operations. This type of intermediate representation could then be broken up into little chunks for all those small CPUS. It could be executed very slowly using just a few logic gates and enough ram to hold the state, or it could run at FPGA speeds or better on a generic sea of LUTs.
I hoped that was a part of this EU debate. It's sad if not.
Do you see that in practice? E.g. after you finetune an llm/sd model, does it string it together?

Can't speak for llms, but I'm an SD enthusiast with 2 YoE, which tells me that most of these threads have nearly no idea what they are talking and theorizing about. I see meaningless reductions to technicalities similar to "it's just neurons firing" and general lack of basic knowledge that should come with the minimal practice beyond just talking to it. While working hard to actually reproduce the concepts from the training sets in a way that can be called resembling-enough and compatible with other models.

So I apologize if this sounds challenging, but I'm not into a bare philosophy around AI. Practice tells me a completely different story than these threads tend to express, and I know that very few people actually tinker with AI any deeper than trying to write system/instruction prompts into the chat-mode chat box.
For those not aware…

The voice actor for Bandit, Dave McCormack, was not previously known as an actor or voice artist, but he has been known in Australia since the early 90s as an indie rock band frontman.

The band he fronted, Custard, started getting airplay on Australia’s national youth radio station, Triple J, in about 1993, and they became a staple of the live music scene - especially uni student bars, live rock pubs and summer festivals - for all the 90s. They quit in 2000 but reformed in 2009 and are still recording albums and playing gigs.

They’re worth checking out [1] if you were into quirky 90s bands like Ween, Dino Jr, Flaming Lips, Ben Folds Five, etc. Full of grungy chords and riffs but mostly major key, happy/fun/funny compositions and lyrics. Very high energy and entertaining. Some nice slower jangly country ballads thrown in there too.

I think they’re the only band I ever stage-dived to, so I guess technically I’ve been “on stage with Bluey’s dad”.

Most music lovers in Australia now in their 40s knew of them, and I’m sure it was a factor in the casting to tap into the nostalgia of the people who are now parents of the kids Bluey is aimed at.

[1] It’s all on Spotify/Apple Music etc. Wisenheimer and Wahooti Fandango are their peak albums and Apartment, Lucky Star, Pack Yr Suitcase and Singlette are the songs that best convey their vibe.

I was fluent in 3 languages before school, as is my little brother. Parents from 2 different countries, and moved to America when I was a young child and my brother was born in the USA. It helps if the parents can communicate to each other in their native tongues (like my parents). Of all the 2+ language families I knew growing up, the children generally only learned their parents' native language if both parents either had the same native language, or if both parents were able to speak both native languages. Also thoroughly anecdotal.
Well I am French. "OK overall" is obviously good but at global scale this means better than the "third world", so context is important.

The context of my previous reply is France's "direction of travel", which negative like most other European countries. This is a key metric on any meaningful timescale, which is what ultimately matters.
In CUDA you don't really manage the individual compute units, you start a kernel, and the drivers take care of distributing that to the compute cores and managing the data flows between them.

When programming CPUs however you are controlling and managing the individual threads. Of course, there are libraries which can do that for you, but fundamentally it's a different model.

> Another giveaway that this is done to constrain the housing supply

How about it's done just to prevent having a massive building block out the sun and destroy the character of a lower-rise neighborhood? This is common sense quality-of-life stuff, not some mass conspiracy to constrain the housing supply.

> You're in favor of it because you want improvements to the thing you use that come at the expense and inconvenience of someone else.

No, again, that is not why I am in favor of it. I am perfectly able to afford to drive to NYC and pay the congestion pricing fee on a daily basis if I wanted to. But I don't enjoy driving in NYC, and it isn't much faster than public transit anyway, and parking is a nightmare, and personal vehicles are worse for the environment. So why do it?

As for inconvenience of someone else, the folks driving personal vehicles and causing all the congestion are the ones inconveniencing all the mass-transit bus riders, and adding pollution that affects everyone who lives here. Yet you think the pro-congestion-pricing bus riders are the ones externalizing the costs? Is this seriously your argument?

> Because they use those roads, have an interest in government policies that directly affect them, and are citizens of the country in which New York is a city.

So users of NYC local roads, who don't live in NYC or NY State, nor contribute taxes to the maintenance of those roads, should somehow have a say in NYC congestion pricing just by virtue of living in the United States? That's completely absurd.

> you can't put a 30 story building in the places there is currently a 13 story one

But in practice you absolutely can. I'm not familiar with the particulars of zoning variances in NYC, but this does happen all the time. For example when I lived in Manhattan, a 5-story building on my street was replaced by a 24-story monstrosity.

I can't help but notice that you didn't answer my question about whether you actually live here, so I'm going to conclude that you do not, and you aren't actually familiar with the amount of large building construction that actually happens in NYC. There's no real sense in continuing this discussion as you quite literally don't know what you are talking about, whereas I'm currently sitting in a room where I have a panoramic view of the city skyline and can actually see this happening with my own eyes in real-time.
