Actually it stays present! [1] When controlled for any number of factors homelessness is clearly a housing issue.

Happy Thanksgiving y'all! Also grateful for this community!

I appreciate it, as it helps me to not 'favorite' many comments, but only those that actually strike me as worth saving when they are so detailed as to be a post of their own!

I liked it!

"The company will separate out valuable isotopes such as Strontium-90, which has fuel applications in marine and aerospace engineering, and use neutrons to transmute the rest into shorter-lived isotopes"

From Wikipedia, it looks like Strontium-90 can be used in "treatment of bone cancer, and to treat coronary restenosis via vascular brachytherapy". Pretty cool.

I applied this query with 4o and yes, quite a thorough historical recounting. Really weaves together all those "random" questions one asks an LLM into a surprisingly (and somewhat scary) encompassing of one's self.

What a unique and fun build! So curious to hear about what ways it can be programmed and used for personal projects.

Assuming this references Reinforcement Learning? If so... valid

Also: "as city population density increases, so does the propensity for gentrification" summarizes to people want to live near other people!

"Within our modeling framework, we show that gentrification emerges only when high-income residents have some mobility, even if minimal, highlighting how their movement patterns catalyse the process. We treat relocation flows of agents in our city as time-varying edges in a temporal network, leveraging established tools from network science and human mobility research."

So to summarize, when rich individuals wants to move, they do. Seems logical given they have the excess opportunity to do so with minimal risk / cost often associated with taking on whatever risks are associated with 'gentrifying'

Big fan of their brews as well. The Run Wild IPA is delicious

Super cool! I love Vancouver island - normally visit Campbell River where I used to have family. Always wanted to make it to the west side for Tofino or the West Coast Trail.

"The researchers tested Scott again after six months back on land. Roughly 91 percent of the genes that had changed activity in space were now back to normal. The rest stayed in space mode. His immune system, for instance, remained on high alert. DNA-repair genes were still overly active and some of his chromosomes were still topsy-turvy. What’s more, Scott’s mental abilities had declined from preflight levels. He was slower and less accurate on short-term memory and logic tests."

We are excited for Open Data users to dig into this dataset, experiment, and find insights from the “speed sample of NYC’s streets” that the MTA’s 4,900 buses collect each day. This data will be uploaded on a monthly basis, and can be found on the NYS Open Data portal.

What a great dataset and effort to allow for further research into areas of the city that could benefit from anti-congestion measures (cough cough car tax) to improve bus services!

Also - where does one even store 4,900 buses in NYC? I guess most of the fleet is out on the streets all day, but I imagine servicing all of those is quite the feat.

Most surprising thing about this article is discovering that 'mathstodon' exists and Terence is active on it!

Can attest to the program being worth it!

"Trust that I would step out if my child were actually disturbing anyone."

Key word here is trust, which I think many have lost the ability to provide to others since the pandemic. We live in a jaded society and sometimes people will project their opinions from positions of power that aren't quite justified.

Good on the author for being capable of doing so much and taking conflict in stride!

This article is so good. My favorite quote:

"The actual goal of any “behavioral interview” or “culture fit” estimation is simple, but nobody ever lays it out. The goal of culture checking is only: determine how a candidate handles the tradeoffs between progress vs. kindness."

Maybe provide some insights on the main clusters identified? I think of this youtube video on Wikipedia Graph: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JheGL6uSF-4&ab_channel=adumb

that was fun :)

This is quite honestly one of the most phenomenal reads I have had on HackerNews. From the technical detail to the personal investigation, this truly shows how much one person can accomplish with discipline and a goal. Kudos to you sir!

Only real content I can find is the original SEQUEL paper linked in the article: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/800296.811515?ref=coderoasis....

The switch from 2D to 3D was so seemless and beautiful I actually gasped.

“There’s a tendency to dismiss this as sort of like, yeah, we’ll worry about it in the future. But I think it’s becoming more of an issue that has to be tackled sooner rather than later.”

This is an increasing phenomena of our century and it continual feels like we keep kicking these big socio-economic problems (i.e. social security, climate change) down the road.

Just traveled there and had zero bad experiences!! Kyoto maybe an exception for obvious reason given the swell of tourism they face these days and how un-polite the average tourist can be sadly.

This article is so straightforward and well articulated to hammer in the main concept: statistics are funky!!

Just visited in January of this year and the Badwater Basin with water in it is stunning. Seeing the sunset there in these conditions is breathtaking and a must do experience if you live within a day's drive of the park!

The author makes a call out to the online book Forecasting: Principles and Practice which is a great reference when conducting time series analyses. https://otexts.com/fpp3/
