Are you seriously saying you can't have a problem with anything a corporation ever does, as long as the motive is to make money? Else you're basically a socialist?

Does that include Monsanto poisoning the ground? Blackwater lobbying for war in the third world?
You're also missing 'soon' and 'imminent' (along with 'later' have a very specific and important meaning).

And no 'sea states'? Currently there's 'Very rough or high, occasionally very high later in northwest Rockall.'

Nice stuff!
> Few locomotives are built for yard work today. Most US switchers are old road locomotives, often half a century old.

Here in Germany, we still build new models of railway shunting engines such as the Voith Gravita [1], and we have nearly a thousand (!) of the old V60 in service [2]. Normal open-track models may have superior fuel efficiency at higher speeds, but commonly lack the from-zero traction capability of a specialized shunting engine.

> Doing stupid shit like that will only close their ranks and put a target on every law-abiding citizen's back as police become more paranoid than they already have been trained to be.

We're already in this part. Closing ranks further is just showing people most police force's true colors. Everyone was willing to overlook police abuse as long as it was targeted against minorities but now the average person has had a direct negative experience or has some relative that was railroaded by the prosecution and a lying cop.

> We should incentivize the reporting of criminal behavior by law enforcement officers and work to open everything to public scrutiny.

This isn't working.
> Who is liable for the mistakes FSD makes? Who goes to jail if it runs down a pedestrian by mistake? Elon? The driver?

Yup. The driver. Aside from image, there appears to be few if any incentives for FSD to improve beyond the “it does the right thing 80% of the time” mark.

What was the rationale behind the mandatory vaccination of truckers ? They don’t seem to be a very high risk group, and the pandemic is now past the final wave. Seems like a strange policy to me

Saying that R is a domain-specific language for statisticians, and thus its quirks are ignorable, is an incomplete answer. An R program is never just a series of calls to specialized library functions. Programs still need to ingest and emit data, manipulate data ad hoc, take conditional branches based on some runtime condition, and so on. And that glue code must still be written in R. I've had to write a lot of that glue code in R.

As someone who mostly writes not-R, my own R irritation comes from a handful of things:

- The dot character "." has no semantic meaning in identifiers. It's just a valid character for names. Looking at function names like "is.numeric" really messes with my reading comprehension.

- Ambiguously, "." also separates identifiers of objects in one of R's type systems from method calls. In some cases, `foo(bar)` and `bar.foo()` are equivalent. But only in some cases.

- Even better, a popular R library defines a function `.()` (i.e., its name is just a single period character), whose job is to expose a surprising quote/unquote expression evaluation semantics.

- This is not to mention the special meaning of "." in formula literals, which are fairly ubiquitous in R.

- Different authors use different naming conventions. Base prefers "as.numeric," Tidyverse might have "to_factor," another library might prefer camel case.

- Finally, R has a surprisingly extensive syntax, exercised by different libraries to different extents, and a correspondingly rich semantics, with "types," "modes," multiple class systems, "expression" objects, immediate and lazy evaluation, expression quoting and unquoting, metaprogramming, and homoiconicity. It is a zoo of a language.

It's not about my attitude but about yours - I'm talking about the way social structures work in most cases. If you aren't willing to prove you can cooperate with a group, why would the group be willing to cooperate with you?

Stepping in with a replace-the-whole-UI idea is generally combative in nature and may engender combative responses. Rather than being surprised at the response, maybe think about whether what you did might cause it.

By odd analogy, it's like you're starting a career as a traffic engineer and immediately demanding the road surfaces get replaced, without demonstrating an understanding of why the road surface is the way it is or why projects to replace the road surface tend to fail.

(I'm not involved with the project, so my attitude doesn't matter and you don't need to worry about what I think.)
A lot of people who are skeptical about AI progress call it "statistical modeling" and point to large data sets involved and large amounts of hardware thrown at it. Sort of implying it's some sort of a brute-force trick.

I'm afraid they do not understand the size of problem/solution set. Suppose problem and solution are 1000 characters long and there's a set of 32 characters. Then a model is function F: X -> X where X is a set of 2^5000 elements. There are 2^10000 such functions, and the goal of a training process is to find the best one.

Training set for a language model would be well under 1 PB. So a task here is to use a training set of size 2^50 to find a function from 2^10000 space.

It's obvious that no amount of brute-forcing can possibly find this. An no classic mathematical statistical modeling can possibly help. A problem like this can be only approached via ANNs trained through backpropagation, and only because this training process is known to generalize.
ah - I would never have thought of putting something that invites comments on a web space with TOS of e.g. github.

You want a custom domain anyway, don't you? The space won't be an issue then, is it?
Didn't look low profile to me
Kind of similar for me, main difference being that I have a 4th level with the year, like medical/insurance/2022/2022-02-03-insurance-card.pdf. That makes it easier to navigate for me.
By the way, 50MW seems way high to keep the train moving. The locomotives are 3-4MW peak and I rarely see them use more than 3 or 4 of them on a train. And I would expect them to be using much less than peak when they are not accelerating or hauling up a steep grade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GE_Dash_9_Series

That's a work-around, but not ideal. What I'd love to find is some CSS/JS that can build the beautiful Flickr-style[0] photo grids that I could integrate into a Hugo generator.

[0] Flickr, for those who haven't used it much, came up with a unique way of displaying photos in a "justified" view so that there are no gaps between photos in a page full of images of various dimensions and orientations and so that all images stretch all the way to both edges and and are organized into neat rows with no vertical gaps. Example: https://www.flickr.com/photos/defender90/albums/721576700986...
That's great. I hadn't seen that. For some reason we didn't get the memo in Denmark.

I keep an agent that monitors amazon pricing on the filters, and just buy a bunch when they dip abnormally low. Have you found any other ways to minimize cost on them? I have only used the ones sold by coway, as my pal tried some 3rd party and they were jenky.
No, they do not. The Supreme Court ruled incorrectly in Morse v. Frederick. Oppressive governments and other institutions infringe on people's free speech rights frequently. The fact that their administrative organs reaffirm those infringements on appeal does not annul the infringements; it merely adds insult to injury.

Pinch-to-zoom was a very visible feature easily demonstrated on photos. Then it was an absolute necessity on websites purely designed for desktop.

I hadn't reflected on it before, and it makes sense now everyone targets mobile first, but it is a little surprising how rarely I need it these days.
That’s fair. The US South has far less expensive timberland and land in general than the West does.
The problem here is to write a program, not solve the problem that this program is intended to solve. Clearly people can write tests for programs without necessarily being able to write a program to meet the specification, and in some cases without being able to solve the problem that the program is required to solve (e.g. plausibly, a person could write a tests for a program for solving Sudoku puzzles without being able to do that themselves, and it is possible to test programs that will be employed to find currently-unknown prime numbers.)

Having said that, your point is kind-of what I was getting at here, though in a way that was probably way too tongue-in-cheek for its own good: When we consider all the activities that go into writing a program, the parts that AlphaCode does not have to do are not trivial. Being given solved test cases is what allows it to succeed (sometimes) with an approach that involves producing a very large number of mostly-wrong candidates, and searching through them for the few that seem to work.
The hype around reactive technologies in the mid to late 2010s looks kinda funny now considering how much unwarranted hot garbage companies have built with it.

But hindsight is 20/20. Someone may be building a beautiful language that will kill JS in the 2020s, and in 2026 we'll all be wondering why weren't using it in in early 2022.
Zoom, Chrome.
Zoom is a resource hog and has a terrible UX, but I struggle to find anything better that works well on all OSes.

Chrome breaks privacy in many ways, but I can't find a decent alternative, similarly secure, blink based and with Chrome extensions support that doesn't have similar problems (Brave, Vivaldi).
So, what are you actually eating now that has helped?
Some job types just die out and the workers can‘t catch on because they did very specific work that isn‘t required anymore and they don‘t have much experience in other tasks. Yes, there are ways to relearn another trade or a similar one but it gets harder the older you get. Often the case with parents who have taken a longer break from working because they‘re taking care of their children or even people taking care of an ill family member.
Does anyone have a non-mac laptop that truly handles 2 monitors? I had an old Dell with both HDMI and Mini-DisplayPort ports, it drove two monitors well. But new laptops only have HDMI and rely on USB or Thunderbolt for additional monitor ports. My second monitor (connected via a USB-C hub with HDMI port) works, but it flickers and is not as bright as the first monitor connected directly to HDMI.
Things have never been better for me, but then again I don't live in Ottawa or Toronto. The constant horns (from these truckers in Ottawa suburbs) would suck, I'm surprised nobodys been killed over that, yet. Sleep deprivation ain't no joke.

Imagine how proud Pierre "just watch me" Trudeau must be, looking down on his son be so afraid of saying the wrong thing or hurting someone's feelings, that he is paralyzed into ineffectiveness.

Just do something, anything, and stand up for yourself. Just make sure you do it with the best interest of the nation in mind and the support will follow.

I don't love or hate any particular leader, but I definitely respect the ones that make confident choices in times of need.
Well, yes it is, but that wasn't my choice. I love old historic buildings and if I had been doing the buying we'd probably be in one. This house has a lot of issues (mainly with air flow) that were not in any of the older houses we looked at...because this builder used a kit and did not do great site work or really any work at all. Long story, but we are the second owners and he saw them coming. Not all old historic buildings are cramped etc and yes, some will need a bit of rejiggering. But the impacts (on landfills etc) of suddenly destroying tons of old buildings and throwing up tons of modern ones are huge. The UK has an enduring advantage over US/us because of how conscientious they are about their historic built environment. It's time we paid attention. Less building products in landfills, less waste ...and really the rejiggering just needs a competent architect/ historic preservation personage. Are you saying that if the UK can do it, we cannot? No, of course you aren't. It is easy for me to say that rejiggering is all that is necessary and I realize that....but we definitely need to really look at individual, city and state objectives before we go willy-nilly knocking down things and throwing up (6M!!) or so new units. Everything from all of the new building supplies needed to the workers needed ...which the building industry is straining to produce even now, would be necessary for such an effort.

There are some gorgeous old row buildings in PA (and lots of other old, once industrial towns) that are boarded up and empty and usually right on the main drag in the center of things (great for walking/biking). They are cheap...but they are also (some of them) zoned commercial which means that generally they can't be lived in. If the zoning were to change to multi-use, the space would definitely appeal to youngsters who do the socials with plenty of space for a home studio, bedroom, huge closets and bathrooms etc. rather than them having to join the scrum around the few houses are built and overpaying, they could use that money/energy to build equity in a fixer upper.

The building tech has also improved alot in the last 20+ years. Adaptations that were impossible then...are possible now. Improvements in insulating, retrofitting...everything has advanced a great deal. Complete tear-downs are no longer necessary in a great many cases. But people have to be willing to stretch their minds and not just go for the easy solution.
with metros the additional consideration is tunneling.

generally speaking, third rail allows for a smaller tunnel diameter than overhead systems. (third rail is located near the wider section of tunnel in the middle whereas overhead requires extending the height.)
Interesting. If I go to the website:

Their big tag line is "Building Trust in the Blockchain". I thought BTC was above needing to do that.
I'm just going to comment in this aspect:

Now I feel too old to go to festivals, bars and clubs and make new friends that way.

Don't know where you live, but in NYC and certain other cities the the bars and clubs (depending which ones you go to) are packed with geezers. Really, it seems like like you've bought into some image of "youth" which holds that only under-30 types get to do "fun" things. But which just isn't ... grounded in reality.

If you genuinely enjoy music and the vibe at these places (again, depends which ones you go to) -- then there is absolutely no age limit, expressed or implied. And anything who thinks there is, is well... square beyond square.
Yes. I know what wireless charging is.

We had flat induction chargers because we also used them for our Airpods.

And they were finicky if you didn't center them carefully. So MagSafe has been a massive aggregation saver.

It's useful for flushing the unthinking conformists out of the underbrush. That way we know who would have cheered on the court's sentence on Turing or Galileo before it matters.
I started by getting a contract with a recruiter and resigning from a full time job. I had done a lot of research to find out different ways of getting clients, such as writing, presenting, networking at user groups. Essentially, doing things for other people to enhance the community around your specialty. These types of things result in referrals. Over time, the people you meet move on to other companies and the source of referrals grows. The important thing to remember is that you're running a business and doing things like finance, marketing, and continuous training to keep up with technology are as important as the time you bill.
I mean it's straight-up wrong. The M2 supply in Japan tripled since 1990 and prices remained the same. Therefore your model is incomplete.

If you have 1 burger that you'd pay $10 for, and someone makes a second burger, does that make each one worth $5? No, of course not.
How would anyone know when the "final" wave has occurred? I've seen no evidence claiming anyone has any real idea that the pandemic is over. All of the evidence so far is that a variant can pop up and cause an additional wave (see: Delta, Omicron.) Has there been any evidence presented anywhere to suggest that the virus will stop mutating and spreading among the world's mostly unvaccinated populations?
Ask HN: Does NixOS live up to its promise?
NixOS.org summaries itself as “Reproducible, Declarative, Reliable”.

But you cannot specify the exact package version # in you build config file to use (lack of being declarative).

As such, packages get updated making your build environment change over time, which seems to be inconsistent with the principle of being reproducible and reliabile (since version changes might break your environment).

The principles of Nixos sounds wonderful and would solve real world problems. But does NixOS deliver on that without being able to specify exactly package version #s?

Note: see this Github ticket from 6+ years ago (2015).

This is a very romantic account of poverty. Poverty, in general, in the abstract form, is not due the lack of philosophical questions on purpose, meaning or goals, or even bad spending. Poverty in the here and now is a part of our social system. It will not be eradicated while capital rules societies because it depends on it.

Loved ones killing themselves with crack cocaine can not be remembered fondly. Shitty emotional lives for children because of stressed out, alienated parents isn't either. Living in decay and not having basic necessities like a functioning sink met are not hot. The effects of poverty on self esteem are downright harrowing and saddening to even see.
...Because they weren't daft enough to commit to emplying blackboxes with no means of formal proofing to a safety-critical operation. Musk's approach is a massive public safety no-no. The cost of specifying and proving through trial the capabilities of what Musk is aiming for is the work of several lifetimes. Musk and Tesla just fucking YOLO it, yeeting out OTA's that substantially change the behavior of an ill-tuned system whose behavior can't even be reliably enumerated; and sinking the operational risk in drivers on the road.

Sometimes, conspicuous lack of progress is a good thing. It isn't something you necessarily appreciate until you suddenly start having to confront the law of large numbers in a very real and tangible way. Some incremental changes simply are not feasible to take until they are complete. Level 3 automation is one of those...

That's interesting that you mention side effects, because I've heard it represented as being one of the safest medicines ever made.
Can you back that up with some proof...Vaers reports?

CDC is US based. I have read before that it was approved for use in Japan for treatment. So there must be some disagreement between health agencies on it's effectiveness.

> Tripling the money supply cuts the value of money by a factor of three. Without any exceptions. There is no other possible outcome. That's not even an Austrian idea.

> Teachers don't have equity like many other industries.

What "many"? Are there any industries besides software and finance that offer equity compensation?

I had real jobs in a couple fields before I became a coder, and never once did they give me free stocks. I think one company you could use part of your pay check automatically _buy_ their stock at nearly market prices, which would have been a silly thing to do.
Going to public schools in KY, I look back at how we were grouped by horse families (e.g. thoroughbreds were gifted, clydesdales the laborers) based on academic achievement. Teachers could easily and openly identify which type of student by asking which family they belonged to, and students being entirely unaware of the joke unless they were aware of different types of horses and their applications.
I think it is not actual mandatory vaccination, but two weeks of quarantine at the border if unvaccinated. Which makes them de facto unemployed.

Indeed truckers are solitary and not in a risk group, so Trudeau is playing a game of chicken (pun intended, since he's hiding) instead of just lifting all mandates like several European countries.

In the U.S., reversing the COVID policies seems to be prepared gradually by priming public opinion via the usual outlets (NYT, WaPo, etc.). It is aided by the Ukraine and ISIS strike diversions.

Perhaps Trudeau wants to ride this one out until the U.S. Democrats are lifting all restrictions.
It seems like you are very interested in the making money aspect of a startup, from that view point, it doesn't make sense to leave 1 mm on the table to have a slim chance at a big payoff. IMO people who work at startups are either people who are extremely passionate about their work or people who couldn't make it into big tech companies.
I think the best is to transition from current role to contracting role or by going for a long-term contract, often presented as salaried position. One way to do it is to offer the current company a contract with less hours. If you were an important contributor, they will say yes.

You can slowly get used to it, learn how to invoice, build a network, present yourself as independent while actually having work and not starve to death.
