The problem is who gets to determine the value of that land. If the government wants you to write software for them for a year, you can protest that you’re a 10x developer deserving millions of dollars all you want, all they need to do is look at your tax return for the last year and pay you double or whatever.

On the other hand, if your family has been living on that ranch and tending that land for hundreds of years, and every generation has contributed to building out and maintaining the homestead, the government can’t properly say “well that derelict lot down the way sold for 100k, we’ll give you 1M and call it fair”.

Probably not, but then why should it? Freight is a massive industry for port cities, not to mention the huge amount of downstream folks across the country that depend on them. A few folks being a bit later on their already-long journey is hardly too steep a price to pay for the continued efficiency of the rail network.

What’s this “transportation right” you speak of? The right to roam isn’t guaranteed by the constitution, but protection against unlawful seizure of private property is. We should be careful to not conflate the rights actually guaranteed to us by the law of the land with things that various individuals feel are “nice to have”. And certainly not deprioritize the former in favor of the latter.

Rephrased, Texans think the rights of private land owners matter more than the latest politician’s talking points.

The people downvoting this have clearly never had government agents steal anything from them. Or believe that when they do, it’s always “for the greater good”.

LA/OxnardVentura/SanDiego is an easy train. As is Portland/Seattle.

No, probably not. When the topic at hand is the selection criteria used to justify the killing of tens of thousands of civilians, your stance on whether the ones killing tens of thousands of civilians are justified in doing so is rather intrinsic.

Wild that this is still a controversial statement on HN, which is otherwise rather forward thinking.

Every growing project has things thing the maintainers would like to work but that do not currently. The job of the maintainer is to balance the value of releasing a cut of the software as stands and learning about other unknown issues while continuing to work on the known, or to work on the known and ignore the unknown until finished with the known. Neither way is strictly good or bad.

This page has a fairly helpful breakdown of the various types of indexes available, but from what I can tell it doesn’t explicitly mention the correctness trade offs made when using an index vs a pure table scan. I know in pgvector HNSW for instance is inexact. But it doesn’t really matter in a RAG context - even the embeddings themselves are stochastic.

Skipping particular tests depending on platform is a very common practice, for better or worse.

Much better past the Oregon border.

No, it doesn’t. Flying to Vegas is 3 hours all said and done, and $20. For a party of 2 any car under 35mpg would be more expensive, and that’s not counting depreciation. And assuming you even have a car. And you even get unlimited food and drinks at the lounges, if that’s your bag.

Also when you fly to Vegas you end up in Vegas, with about a million things to do. When you drive to Humboldt you end up at a forest, after spending the past 5 hours driving through… forests.

Certainly nobody chooses to live there for the tourists!

And it’s a fine place; I’ve just driven Seattle-LA on every path imaginable more times than I can count. It happens to be right around the point where you’re really far from absolutely everything, and it all looks the same.

The author overestimates the public’s willingness to go to humboldt. It’s a far-too-long drive from absolutely everywhere.

The complexity cannot be over 10,000,000 if that simple program generated it. That is the precise definition of complexity.

I don’t understand what you mean by reducibility to random strings, randomness has precisely nothing to do with complexity, even if they do tend to go together.

Why do you choose EBITDA? Last I heard it was utter nonsense”, at least according to Warren Buffet.

Anything secret cannot be considered well-known, by definition. The common impression being X is more commonly phrased as “X is well known”.

You’ve yet to produce a single bit of evidence supporting the claim that Trump is somehow more likely to pardon him than Biden, which if you could read you’d know is what I contested.

That’s not SBF. But perhaps Salame will be pardoned by Trump, sure. If any of those PACs supported trump.

Ok and this makes Trump more likely to pardon him than Biden how?

“Convicted fraudster makes unsubstantiated claims, internet cites them as concrete evidence. More at 6.”

If you want to believe a known fraudster saying “oh yeah I totally donated to the winning side, but I didn’t tell anyone”, that’s on you. But it doesn’t change the fact that Trump is very unlikely to pardon someone who publically donated to his opponent, and maybe privately donated to some random GOP members he refers to as “the swamp”. And that’s only if we take as fact some guys “oh yeah I used stolen money to make political donations, but I was just following orders” statement as uttered in a trial.

He donated far more to liberals and it’s a well known. Nobody on the right wants to see him walk free.

Much more likely the individual for whom he was a top donor than his opponent.

In ML, this will bump you into a nearby optima at random. That optima may or may not be better than your prior. And if it’s worse, there’s a good chance it’ll be very difficult to get back to where you were without external checkpoints to revert to.

The brain is the same, but no checkpoints.

There is no guarantee that when you break down and reform something, the end result is in any way “better”. This is especially true for reality.

We phantage, but not to the extent as others.

That said, I must highly recommend not using in attempt to “fix” one’s aphantasia.

Edit: I recommend to stick to shrooms if you can.

That still wouldn’t work in all cases. For instance if a ring of locations are all more accessible than a location they contain. Which applies to basically all suburbs.

You can always reformat as APFS (Case Sensitive)

What a bizarre loop to find oneself caught in. So sure the other person is lying, but thoroughly unable to come up with any evidence to show for it. And unwilling or unable to consider the implications of that lack of evidence.

And people say religious folks are the brainwashed ones!
