I've lived in China and seen the results of "CCP says you have to employ X people". The result is a bunch of people sitting around doing nothing, earning low incomes, and feeling despondent: the so-called "iron rice bowl". The system will be gamed by the managers, the people will merely be pawns.
That's the government doing it. I don't understand the question. The government is deciding to do something.

I'm really surprised there's no discussion about DECT headsets here.

It operates over the 900 megahertz ISM band. I'm able to walk all over my house and property without audio dropping out, and it doesn't suffer from Bluetooth codec compression issues.

I will say they suck for listening to music though (if you're an audiophile)... but I would just switch to good studio monitors for that situation.
Debian doesn't "work" like Android works. Almost no end-user runs Debian on any of their devices because no one wants Debian over anything else. If you want to achieve Debian's stunning success of having almost no consumer adoption, you should follow its model of community development.

You're right, if Google steps away from Android completely then there would be incentive for others to do it, another megacorp will step in. Maybe Facebook or Microsoft or Samsung.

Depending on the language and the static type system, they typically can't prevent errors related to:

- Logic errors

- Null or Undefined values (prevented in many newer languages)

- Out-of-bounds errors

- Concurrency-related issues

- Arithmetic errors (undefined operations, integer overflow, etc)

- Resource management errors

- I/O errors

- External system failures

- Unhandled exceptions (e.g., RuntimeException in Java)

If you use a language like Rust, you can get help from the type system on several of these points, but ultimately there's a limit to what type systems can do before becoming too complex.
This is paranoid conspiracy-theory stuff. Or it's bait. It's also not falsifiable. Dang can disclaim it but Gruber's next step would just be to write "of course dang would say that."

Modern medicine has long operated under the assumption that whatever makes sense in a male body also makes sense in a female body, and womens' health concerns were often dismissed, misdiagnosed or misunderstood in patriarchal society. Women were rarely even included in medical trials prior to 1993. As a result, there is simply a dearth of medical research directly relevant to women for models to even train on.
I also live in Portland. Look into our local taxes for the answer. We have the highest local tax rate in the nation for families earning more than 200K a year, higher than Manhattan. It simply doesn't pencil to build an ADU and rent it out long term, so you’re incentivized to a short term rental like Airbnb, which does little to nothing to help the housing situation.

It’s the same for new apartment buildings. Next time you drive over the Fremont Bridge look at the skyline. 5 years ago there were 13 visible cranes mostly constructing high density apartment buildings. Today there are none. It’s the same reason, Portland has made it simply unprofitable to develop new high density housing.

It's an interesting problem I'm not sure what the solution is.

Being a small-time landlord is unreasonably risky due to tenant friendly laws and backed up courts.

Similarly, I've found renting from small-time landlords to be a worse experience. They tend to do things that a large corporation would eventually face lawsuits over - discrimination, demanding more money up front, keeping deposits, poor upkeep of units, etc.

So I'm not even sure I want to encourage small time landlording anyway.

Some things maybe really are better managed by big, lawsuit-averse, emotionless companies.

While that’s the most famous example, this sort of cheating is much older than that. In the good old days before 3d acceleration, graphics card vendors competed mostly on 2d acceleration. This mostly involved routines to accelerate drawing Windows windows and things, and benchmarks tended to do things like move windows round really fast.

It was somewhat common for card drivers to detect that a benchmark was running, and just fake the whole thing; what was being drawn on the screen was wrong, but since the benchmarks tended to be a blurry mess anyway the user would have a hard time realising this.

Are you running into those autogen crawler labyrinths that have been posted about recently? Certainly the .edu and .gov ones are probably just huge sites.

> Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged 5–29 years.

That's not telling you what you think it is. A lot of those deaths are that person in a car on their own. Usually involving drugs or alcohol. It intentionally folds in "deaths caused by others" and "death caused by self" into the same category. It's not an appropriate statistic to base policy on.

> If you prevent a road accident fatality, chances are that person will go on to live many more healthy years/decades.

Chances are that person is going to kill themselves in a vehicle again later as you have failed to examine MODE of accident. Your analysis is entirely wrong.

>until you talk about legalizing more immigration

Maybe because people have been duped so much in the last 10+ years to know that the loaded statement of "more immigration" from the government only means legalizing more ILLEGAL immigration, driving them to hate all forms of immigration because the governments have proven themselves useless at enforcing border controls and depurations of those who brake the law.

That's the result that you get when you maliciously sweep ILLEGAL immigration under the same political banner used for legal immigration, as the liberal European governments have done, so you end up hurting the image of legal immigration as well but this is the fault of politicians, not the people whoa have suffered form illegal immigration and have next to no channels of changing this other than voting far right.
Same here. We removed trim inside the house and it wasnt that bad, but I was just replacing the trim— not the windows. I could see that removing the windows would be a pain the ass very quickly. And it has already been done once.
Here's an interesting question: If most people in a society believe corruption is at level X when it's actually at X+N, is it better to expose the reality or not?

Being a member of a society that you believe has low corruption disincentivizes you from being corrupt yourself because people generally want to follow the surrounding norms. So it's probably good for people to believe that corruption is better than it is.

But exposing corruption is also necessary to root it out and actually punish the people involved.

How does one make the trade-off for when disclosure is net helpful for reducing overall corruption? Does it depend on X and N?

Well, plenty of schools in the US used to cook food from scratch! They even had awesome cookbooks provided by the US government![1] (btw, it includes the recipe for that bomb-ass school pizza they used to have in the 80s and 90s! Credit to Max Miller from Tasting History for tracking it down.) That started getting privatized in the late 90s. Now they mostly just heat up things.

No one says you have to use the AI models stupidly.

If it works poorly for black women and female women dont use it for them.

Or simply dont use it for the initial diagnosis. Use it after the normal diagnosis process as more of a validation step.

Anyways, this all points to the need to capture biological information as input or even having seperately models tuned to different factors.
Edmonton is the success story here.

I just got back from an All Hands meeting in our main office. Most people do it remotely. We had remote people presenting from their M-series macbooks.

They all sounded great and it convinced me that I did not need to throw money at an imagined problem...

This is a strange article. It portrays triple and quadruple pane windows as a new development, but they've been around for years.

As far as I can tell, the only development here is the use of ultra-thin glass in the interior layers. This reduces cost, size, and weight relative to normal triple/quadruple-glazed windows.
Similar experience -- asked it to find and fix a bug in a function. It correctly identified the general problem but instead of fixing the existing code it re-implemented part of the function again, below the problematic part. So now there was a buggy while-loop, followed by a very similar but not buggy for-loop. An interesting solution to say the least.

"four out of five" has the same number of syllables as "80%". "Three out of four" has even fewer syllables than 75%, for that matter. So I can see why those stuck around.

It says “only 20% more than energy efficient windows” but those “energy efficient windows” are usually 50% more than the average quality window. Higher quality triple pane windows exist, and they are a luxury for most homeowners. It’s great technology, but relatively few people build or upgrade their house with the long term consequences in mind for these things. There’s a reason you get a positive ROI when you fix up a kitchen or bathroom versus replacing windows which is typically viewed as maintenance. There needs to be incentives for these upgrades to be adopted by home builders.
Fair point! It also felt clearer to me at first, but I found that I would need some "management" to avoid indexing into nonexistent indices and otherwise manage that pointer - like you are saying, the checks for that index not falling off the end/start of the stack would need to go somewhere. And I just wanted to have... _less stuff._ _Less stuff_ is better, certainly for me when doing solo dev.
I have been just splitting my head to parse data from from a erp database to csv and then from csv to erp database again using the programming language user by erp system.

The first part of converting data to csv works fine with help of ai coding assistant.

The reverse part of csv to database is getting challenging and even claude sonnet 3.7 is not able to escape newline correctly.

I am now implementation the data format in json which is much simpler.
Types at the type layer are not the same as types at the semantic layer. Sure every type in the JSON level has a "strong type" but the semantic meaning of the contents of e.g. a string are usually not expressable in pure JSON. So it is with CSV; you can think of every cell in CSV as containing a string (series of bytes) with it being up to you to enforce the semantics atop those bytes. JSON gives you a couple extra types, and if you can fit things into those types well, then that's great, but for most data concrete semantically meaningful data you won't be able to do that and you'll end up in a similar world to CSVs.
When you import a track to your collection, it does the processing. So, not completely in real time, but it only takes like a minute of background processing before it's ready. Virtually all DJ software has this as a feature nowadays, but of course, results vary.

You can learn basic conversation without reading, but it only gets you so far. Japanese has tons of similar-sounding words, and without kanji, it's hard to build a deep vocabulary or follow meaningful conversations. Reading reinforces understanding—and kanji actually makes it easier to remember words once you get used to it.
I think this is a weird case where we know precisely how something works, but we can't explain why.

it's funny how songs with ridiculous lyrics seem unbelievable (especially across generations) can turn out to be real. My father, whose name was Michael, would always sing the chorus from "Playground in my Mind" and we were convinced he was making it up.

> There's a general fear of being a landlord

Yes. And this is fixable, if there is political will. There is a long list of locales where I'd never want to be a landlord due to how little recourse you have in cases of tenant misbehavior/nonpayment. CA is near the top. Portland is too.

Until this is fixed, however, those locales will tend to lose independent landlords, as they cannot afford the rent losses as they are not diversified enough. Big faceless companies like Avalon will grow cause they can.

I'm calling it now. My prediction is that, 5-10 years from now(ish), once training efficiency has plateaued, and we have a better idea of how to do more with less, curated datasets will be the next big thing.

Investors will throw money at startups claiming to make their own training data by consulting experts, finetuning as it is now will be obsolete, pre-ChatGPT internet scrapes will be worth their weight in gold. Once a block is hit on what we can do with data, the data itself is the next target.

«Math.abs() is returning negative values for negative inputs.», man I would have reached for the bible if that happened to me. Fascinating in hindsight.
My small city in Washington is the template for the state's ADU law and multi-family density law. When the ADU law passed, we saw a lot of people convert garages into ADUs and anymore any custom builds almost always add an ADU. But to your point - it isn't clear how many have become rentals. What I observe is that many people saw it as good resale value, as multi-generational living, or simply a place to put guests when they came to visit. It was about the same time we put a moratorium on VRBOs, which had been another reason people saw these as beneficial without becoming a full-time landlord. Personally I have one and it has been beneficial income while also giving my tenants a good transition point (college students, people escaping bad marriages, people who need a place to land while they look for a place to buy, etc)
