Hey crawfordcomeaux, I noticed you've shared some interesting ideas about communities in Hacker News! I wonder if you have an opinion on whether remote working will change where and how people choose to live?

Cities still have a lot going for them by providing the best access to services (especially after covid is over), but one thing I see happening in the future is the establishment of "remote working villages" in smaller towns. Price and quality of housing will be the main selling point, but they'd also have access to nature and a good sense of community (in fact the projects could be self-organised and funded by the residents if you find the right people).
I don't think that's the case; British English would say "X help Y" when X is a collective noun referring explicitly to a group of people, eg a football team ("Manchester United have scored"), or a band ("Radiohead are playing a concert today"). This means that "Spain (the country) is ..." but "Spain (the football team) are ...".

"Fact checking" is just a narrative device, to present something as authoritative.

The reality is that even for obvious, physical phenomena, whenever there is any complexity, you cannot know the truth. There are all sorts of buried assumptions and theoretical knowledge.

Nothing to say about tornadoes, but I'll plant this seed (what I call "pranktivism"): I considered cancelling my Prime membership and generally boycotting Amazon. But then I thought, why be satisfied with not giving Amazon money when I can actually cost them money?

So I started ordering the cheapest things that get Prime free delivery, one at a time, multiple times per week. I usually order something like a 2-pack of pens or pencils But every few days I get things that are cheap and bulky, like charcoal and what not, or cheap and heavy, like various dumbbell weights. I use some stuff, but either give away or return a lot it, usually preferring to return pricier and bulkier stuff.

Other than some concerned-sounding emails I haven't faced any consequences after about 6 months of this. I'm curious what Amazon will do, if anything. I imagine it doesn't take long to fritter away the $12 a month plus the cost of things I don't return, once the fulfillment, packaging, shipping and such are added up, multiple times per week.
One of the best ideas I've heard for college admissions is the following:

- Small percentage (10-20%) based purely on performance (either academic or athletic)

- All other admitted applications drawn randomly from a pool who achieve a base score on SAT's.

With the following benefits:

- Student population reflective of national demographics due to random sampling.

- Elimination of bias and discrimination endemic to these institutions history

- Could even mark our 5% for "legacy" status students to keep the elite donors happy.

- Motivation for students: anyone who can achieve a baseline has a real chance of attending an elite university
True, but so far they are either better curated or just have less spam. B&H is my favorite as I believe it has only them as a seller.
> Tesla's "FSD" has the "capability to drive a vehicle without the active physical control or monitoring by a human operator," but it does not yet have the capability to do so safely.

It’s that bit that seems like it would make Tesla’s actions fall even further under the DMV’s purview. Is their argument really going to be that they can’t be held to safety regulations because it’s too unsafe to be regulatable? That’s like saying you’ve stolen too much money to be guilty of robbing the bank.
They don't have that right now. There is no legal framework yet for demanding a social media company provide you an account. Many of us would like to see that changed.
CHP has alleged cases of drunk or sleepy drivers who disabled the dead man’s switch and were somehow in a full self-driving mode. Because people who presumably aren’t mechanics or automative engineers can enable an unsupervised self-driving mode, it seems like it might fall under this law.
Apparently, this can be pursued at the State level, so it may not be unconstitutional.

You are free to define the "public" part of public town square as essentially popular, open and social, but that is not the flashpoint of disagreement. When people disagree on the boundaries between private and public institutions, they are not disagreeing over whether something is popular, open, and social. A public elementary school is not public because it is popular, open, and social, and neither is a mall.

And public funding is a critical component to public governance. Facebook is accountable to private money. There is a reason why people don't like the idea of politics being funded by private money.

To change that, we might talk about using taxpayer money to fund Facebook, and rather than mere rules for companies, we might talk about public ownership and governance of Facebook and not merely breaking businesses apart. Breaking Facebook apart is about dealing with free market concerns. Nationalizing Facebook is about recognizing that Facebook ought be a public institution.

This is the wrong question. You should, rather, ask: “under what conditions are things at various parts of the diagram?” “Normal conditions” are really just happenstance, if you're considering physics; stars and the immense void of space are both much more common than room temperature, room pressure.

"Meet all needs while denying none" to me means we need to first identify all of our needs (not wants, strategies, or rights, except to use them as signs pointing to underlying needs). I suspect applied category theory and constructor theory are two recent developments that could be useful for proving the needs of the human system.

"This" could be considered a culture of freely giving to meet people's needs, including the needs of the environments they live in.

I feel compelled to clarify this: Hong Kong is part of China, and has been since 1997. Saying that Hong Kong is not part of China is like saying that Texas is not part of the United States because at one point they seceded. These days, Texas has no more right to secede from the US than Hong Kong from China, even if there are people in both territories who would prefer full independence. Consequently, to a Chinese person, hearing "I'm from Hong Kong, not China" would be like hearing "I'm from Texas, not the United States" as an American.

Granted, someone saying the latter should never be met with death threats, just like the former!

> The biggest empires in the history were European

Different sources I can find have between 4 and 5 of the top 10 as European, the rest Asian, and pretty consistently have them alternating the top 4.
Have you seen the SAT score vs. race charts? This would just make Harvard 50+% Asian (like Caltech), when they make up 7% of the US.
Your point about schools filtering students who are not able to cut it is moot. Do you think standards won't (or haven't already) change to keep as many students as possible? Universities want money, the more students the better. The idea that this change happens in isolation shows a lack of systemic thinking.
At this point I'm more worried about the whole supply chain of libraries and dependencies in the background than how nice the abstractions are.

It used to be that a powerful demo of a framework or language would be a pretty sweet starting point, but I'm not so sure about that anymore.

> we probably want two digits of precision maximum

I think it depends a lot on jitter in the system. Sigfigs are one kind of error bar, one where I often have to haul my coworkers or myself out of trying to read things into the data that aren't there.

There are times where a 10ms change in a 2 second response actually matter to me, because that's half a percent and not all improvements which are easy are also straightforward. Sometimes you're scrambling for 3% here and 2.2% there.
But if the noise in the system is ±50ms then people declaring that they've shaved 15ms off of response time are likely deluding themselves and then deluding the rest of us.

I know how to do some of these things by hand, I'm not sure how you automate them, or in the case of a dashboard, typeset them.
Clearer error messages would go a long way too. Python is often considered beginner friendly, but it usually can't even tell you which line a syntax error is on.

Yes that’s the one! It was Chris Granger’s project that Jamie worked on for a while (along with Josh Rob and Eric and myself). Eve came around at a time when Bret Victor’s videos were very popular and a lot of people were unhappy with the state of the web and programming in general.

Since then there’s been a pretty relentless if niche community growing around the idea. Eve is gone but the idea lives on in many different communities, and I think it’s clear the same spirit that spawned Eve motivates Jamie’s conference.

The primary venue for this kind of work has been the Live! workshop at SplashCon.

https://liveprog.org/

There’s also a community of people working on projects of this sort:

https://futureofcoding.org/

I think Jamie’s conference would be a good addition to this community, especially being in the spring, since Live is in the fall.

I found it fascinating that the London theatre business is such that a play must continue running for a minimum period (described in the article) even if it's a failure. That's really bizarre.

In my younger childless life, I used to go to the theatre fairly often and even had a Goodman subscription. I don't think I ever saw anything that would have qualified as a flop or even an artistic failure, but the Chicago theatre scene is pretty vibrant. While we lived in Los Angeles, we went to the theatre less often, but again a pretty vibrant theatre scene although not as risk-taking as Chicago (many smaller venues seemed to be actor-financed productions meant to catch casting directors' eyes, but none of these actor-producers had Ed Wood–like blindness to bad production, at least none that I saw).

My sense is that New York is a lot more risk-averse, especially in the main stages. Perhaps things get more daring in smaller venues in the outer boroughs?

> it is harder than getting in with an athletic scholarship than without one.

I agree with most of your comment, but I think you're using "harder" and "rarer" interchangeably here.

One would guess that receiving a scholarship for elite athleticism or superior intellect are both quite difficult, and I have zero basis of comparison for which one is harder. I would not assume that athletic scholarships being rarer reflects on their difficulty. Rather, it's most likely a reflection on what the main function of a university is, as a place of learning. They admit more students to study than to play sports.

Last I checked, Tesla "FSD" was still a plain old SAE Level 2 system. It needs close monitoring and physical control by a human operator at all times, no exceptions, no ifs or buts. They're slowly inching towards adding SAE Level 3 in uninteresting, passively safe situations (like enabling the car to roll forward in a traffic jam). We're nowhere near a system that can actively "drive itself" in any real sense. The attempts we've seen (by Tesla and others) have been ludicrously ineffective and unsafe.
