No, it's because their model puts dollar values on the labor contributed by non-working adults w/r/t raising children. So in that case, it could be that 1adult1child is slightly higher because of the need to pay for childcare

Put in an area and see for yourself. In general, yes this calculator is closer to what you're describing. For example, Skamania County, a pretty rural county of Washington state with a very low population of 12,000 people, still has a

That's fascinating; the Lavet-type stepping motor acts as an escapement all on it's own by being a very simple stepper motor, so you don't end up needing a miniature version of a classic mechanical escapement, which is what I

It seems like it depends on how the authors have configured Vouch. They might completely close the project except to those on the vouch list (other than viewing the repo, which seems always implied). Alternatively they might keep some thing

The idea is that sustained and recurring communication would have a cost that quickly drops to zero. But establishing a new line of communication would have a slight cost, but which would quickly drop to zero. A poorly thought out hypotheti

A determinisitic prompt + seed used to generate an output is interesting as a way to deterministically record entirely how code came about, but it's also not a thing people are actually doing. Right now, everyone is slinging around LLM

And yet, it is a constantly used decentralized system which does not require content addressing, as you mentioned. You should elaborate why we need content addressing for a decentralized system instead of saying "10MiB limit + spam l

It's typically a disk-latency thing, as just stat-ing the many files in a directory can have significant latency implications (especially on spinning HDDs) vs opening a single file (the tar) and read-()ing that one file in memory befor

Some external context on those approximate claims: - Run a 1500W USA microwave for 10 seconds: 15,000 joules - Llama 3.1 405B text generation prompts: On average 6,706 joules total, for each response - Stable Diffusion 3 Medium generating

That's only because your ISP won't have routed that packet to you if someone gave it to _them_. However, if someone was able to get to the ISP-side of the connection that you have with your ISP, and send a packet down the fiber&#x

If Plex is "just file sharing" then I guarantee you'd find Tailscale "just WireGuard". I enjoy that relative "normies" can depend on it/integrate it without me having to go through annoying bits. I li

Kids are at least as interesting as having to take care of any other living things. As strange as it may seem, if you can ask questions about someone's multiple aquariums, their cats or dogs, their horses or cows, then there's a

I recommend downloading the executable-in-a-tarball form of Firefox and running that. I personally do that with Nightly, and I find it works quite well.

Politicians wouldn't know who has which "adult code", so they wouldn't be able to get a singular "adult code" banned/early expired by the (supposedly corrupt) code-keeping company. To know which code a par

Per the article, Apple does do attestation. By default attestation is off unless you have enterprise management turned on. But the existence of attestation means Apple could at any time in the future make attestation on by default and sudde

Complaining about the UI color and button layout of an game _engine_ is a bit like comparing aircraft carriers by the color of the rug in the control room. What about the built-in tools for organizing and connecting assets, format support,

No, cause the folks detecting the problems typically do so by actively scanning new releases (usually security companies do this). Few such problems are detected by people who do a "normal" update and receive compromised code, inv

Yes, with asterisks. If you're serving static files from your house, the risk of having your server taken over is incredibly low. If you're hosting Wordpress on your home server, that risk spikes massively. So make sure you unders

Cause the server in your house is a lot cheaper to upgrade with more RAM/storage than a VPS. By using a VPS as just a way to make traffic available, you can choose an extremely cheap VPS. It's pretty easy to find places that'

Yes, an ISP could see that you're using a lot of traffic. But if the traffic is encrypted, they can't be sure what you're doing. Are you a personal user? Or are you a business? How would they know if it's all encrypted

ISPs don't care, actually. They care about operational problems, but you serving a constant stream of web traffic is probably not going to matter to them; web traffic for even a pretty successful blog is going to be a tiny volume compa

Yes, though even though they can see that, as long as it's encrypted they can't know for sure, so as long as you don't cause problems they won't care at all that you're using it for something . In all my years I&#x

To fully show my hand: What I do not like are mocks which have you outline a series of behaviors/method calls which are expected to be called, typically with specific input parameters, often with methods in order. In python, this looks
