Trains already run 15-20m interval at peak hours. The issue is not the interval but rather the average speed of the trains. In China the subways run at max speed everywhere. In the Bay NIMBYs complain so the only places it runs at 80mph is in tunnels and in places where nobody lives (like Union City - Milpitas). There's a section in Oakland where the train is next to a freeway and you can literally drive faster than the train because the train is going 25 mph.

Agree with you about the fentanyl sleepers though. And take the aggressive beggars and people smoking weed off as well, then it'll be usable for actual transport like the subway is in China.
You know this is what Stalin, and North Korea's Kim-Jong Un today would have dreamed of using? Probably will aid in collective punishment or 3 generations of punishment.

A tool like this is a noble totalitarians dream which anyone they didn't like can be brought into the light with absolute zero privacy, no path to redemption of past sins, mistakes or accidents and the internet will preserve and shame them forever.

The same developers like this one screaming and have hijacked 'open-source' are just helping the surveillance capitalists and dystopian new world order.

I'm no fan of Tesla, but to be fair, the OP answers here that this it is 2013 model, so this is still an example of a defect from ~2012: https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/comments/vt7w3d/my_teslas...
Case in point. Had a client in the late 80’s with an X.25 connection between their office and a Mainframe across town. It was accumulating hundreds of CRC errors per minute. Couldn’t fix remotely so I flew out there. Had a scope hooked up on both sides.

We loaded the connection in varying patterns for about an hour. ZERO CRC errors. Scratching our heads, we decided to punt. Then suddenly the CRC error count started climbing on my scope. I shout into the speakerphone, excitedly, what did you all just do? They’re like “nothing but unplug the scope from the patch panel”. “Please plug it back in”. CRC error count stopped.

Diagnosis: faulty patch panel.
Yep that’s the one.

"A scientist" is Mark Braverman, a Princeton University computer scientist. He's won the 2022 IMU Medal for work in information and complexity theory.

I've suggested an alternate title (submission is "A scientist who developed a new way to understand communication") to the HN mods which manages to capture more of that.

(Future search on "Mark Braverman" would be more productive than "a scientist", among other justifications for the change. At least this content will trip on most of that.)
The problem is really that in total Uber Eats was asking for 300% what they claim delivery costs in exchange for what they provide as a broker. That's pretty absurd.

-

And I was skeptical seeing "no bullshit" in the same sentence as a gig economy app so I had to search, and of course the first result for "Thuisbezorgd service fee" was that they're hiding service costs by charging more than menu price... then turning around and claiming that's because it's the delivery menu.

Which of course would mislead any reasonable person expecting to pay what the menu says... the one they'd hand you if you sat down.

https://nltimes.nl/2022/05/29/meal-deliverers-misleading-cli...

-

There's no way to make the current delivery app model work. The app needs to be small in scope and/or localized otherwise it seems without exception, "growth at all costs" leads to heavily subsidizing food and labor, then increasing costs drastically and decreasing pay once you have people hooked on the system.
I don't see how smart roads would solve the issues of "the unexpected".. weird pedestrian behavior, getting cut off, parked trucks, construction, etc. It seems to me that smart roads would only solve the issue of general routing, and that already seems to be dealt with as far as I can tell.

The "core" of Silicon Valley really isn't affordable, unless you want to live dorm style, for many. Rents at 3-4k/mo. Families, it's even more challenging. Nearby "bedroom" communities - Morgan Hill out to Fairfield, housing isn't cheap either.

Then there is "traffic". When I graduated with my Masters and went to work at Netscape at Middlefield and 237, I could leave downtown Santa Cruz and be there in about 35 minutes. The last time I had to drive to that area for a work thing was near the Google Campus. I was 15 minutes late for a 9:30am meeting and I left at 7:15 in the morning.

From Santa Cruz, if I wanted to use "alternative transportation" I could do 17 Express -> Diridon -> light rail/bus in some manner I haven't looked up. Something that would take a couple of hours. Also with BART, parking lots were already saturated on the Peninsula in the late 90s/early 2000s. People need to get to "new transportation" to take advantage of it.
The price of lithium has gone up 5x recently because the market has realize there is a scarce supply and a rapidly expanding demand. The price of batteries is increasing now instead of declining like they have done in the past.

In theory lithium is abundant in the Earth's crust. In practice, although the market is incentivizing more production now, it takes close to 10 years to bring a new mine online (7 years is doable). There was a glut of these materials in 2020, but by 2025 we will see a major bottleneck. Here is an analysis of the situation: https://youtu.be/5v-DTS-ibow

The response to @libsoftiktok has created a huge, rapid streisanding of that account. She went from niche to ubiquitous almost overnight and her message has been hugely amplified. There has to be a better reaction than to hand your enemy such a megaphone.
I think the point was that in rural areas they'll still use cars or something, because it's way more efficient for the low density there. In cities, you would switch away from cars as much as possible. I don't think the commenter meant we'd "abandon the hicks" or something rude like that; the rural folks who farm and do other important jobs are a crucial part of our society for sure.
Some ideas:

* Ask about non computer interests and support the heck out of them

* Ask about career and life goals and support the heck out of them

* Help them buy a car if they need one

* Require a small amount of rent each month so they need to hold a job. Bonus points for saving this rent money and gifting it back to them when they eventually move out on their own.

* family therapy could be a good option if communication is difficult or strained

It’s less about strict limits on computer time and more about not enabling the behavior and providing support and guidance towards more responsibility and independence.

Also, if they are self sufficient and thriving then how they spend their time shouldn’t matter.

> I will have to disagree. I like having options. Before Wayland having options meant that your app starting GUI and your file manager was different. If Wayland had meant there were now two options one deprecated and the other coming this wouldn't have really been a huge problem.

I agree that the transition has been long and messy. But the Linux desktop experience has always been a fragmented mess of half-baked apps that quickly fall into disrepair. Wayland breaks a lot of stuff that has been in maintenance mode for a long time. That sucks, but it's not a good argument for sticking with X11. The situation with X11 had been unacceptable ever since the adoption of virtual memory and Wayland is the only real alternative.

> It's a problem now because insisting on standardizing on so little means we now have fragmentation the likes of which we never had with X and will likely have for many years to come.

I'm not going to criticize the boundaries of a standard that I haven't been deeply involved with. I understand their impulse to keep it minimal, as Wayland is something of a forever standard. But I am sympathetic to arguments that Wayland doesn't do enough.

> Even more so because it isn't yet ready about 6 years after its fanboys started insisting it was and shitting on other options and dismissing actual problems as the mutterings of crackpots and luddites.

If by "other options" you mean Mir, my memory is that the primary criticism of Mir's original architecture replicated Wayland in an incompatible way without any good reason for doing so. Eventually Mir was re-architected to layer it on top of Wayland and does provide more of the batteries you seem to want to have by default.

If by "other options" you mean X11 ... only crackpots and luddites think applications should be able to spy on each other [0].

What other options were there?

> What does "competitive" even mean in this context?

* Not having every app double as a key-logger.

* A working screen-locker.

* Not tearing on window resize or scrolling while a video plays.

* Multi-DPI monitors.

* Non-blocking API calls.

* etc [1].

I remember context menus being especially glitchy.

> Linux has had a nicer GUI since 2003 and if you don't hop on the pointless change parade a fairly consistent one. I literally switched to linux for a better interface 19 years ago and its still better.

Let me guess, you use some "minimalist" desktop environment? I'm not here to hate on people that don't need what most consider a modern user experience. If that's what you want, that's great! I was into lightweight desktop environments for a while and liked exploring that design space.

But I'm also a usability engineer who remembers Linux back then: it was not competitive with OS X and it still isn't.

compression itself is not an ignition source; it's the heat the compression generates that ignites the fuel.
The README is pretty explicit: it's an archive, meaning that any "doxxing" is whatever the original user accounts uploaded about themselves. That would be a pretty radical deflation of a term that's normally used to describe forcefully deanonymizing someone with information they didn't provide.

And I don't see a call for harassment anywhere. The author clearly has opinions, but there's no call to action.
What a sad indictment of the situation that your wild fantasy system has 15m headways. 4 Trains Per Hour. That's borderline unusable. 10 TPH is what I'd consider tolerable. 18 TPH is what I expect from first class cities in developed countries.
The smell, mostly. I dabble too but in my own home where I'm not stinking up a train car with 20 other people in it.
Microsoft keeps trying really hard to make touchscreens happen. Except they aren't going to happen. It's a desktop OS for mice and keyboards first and foremost, it's about time they acknowledge that by designing everything with these input devices in mind.

> Lisp syntax fails spectacularly on this one, it's painful and tedious,

To the contrary, Lisp syntax is much simpler than traditional syntax. It does not draw an arbitrary distinction between operators and functions. Operators are a notational hack. We write sin(x), sqrt(x), log(x), so why not sum(x,y), expt(x,y), xor(x,y)?

> it forces you think about the explicit nesting between structures

Traditional syntax forces you to think about operator precedence. It's also much harder to parse.

> Haskell lets you design your own control structures with lazy evaluation.

Lisp lets you do the same thing with macros and closures.

> Perl6\Raku has first class support for BNF grammars built right into the language.

Why would you want that? What benefit is there over having parsers available as library code?

> beats Lisps in dynamicity

> Plenty of others can

I think you're missing the point. The reason Lisp is cool is not that it has the most powerful version of any given feature (except for CLOS -- that is indeed still unmatched). The reason Lisp is cool is that it gives you the right combination of all of these things packaged in a way that is, at its core, very simple and easy to learn. Nothing else comes close in terms of power-to-learning-curve ratio.
Oh mine can sound as vintage ones alright if it's working and if one of the very weird MIDI implementation idiosyncrasies or deeply hidden global parameters is not getting in the way, and then my 30 minutes of practice include 15 of diving in the manual. The later happens so often that I'm seriously thinking about flipping my Matriarch for a Pro 3, and the Matriarch is one of the things that gave me the most fun in my life up there with my ski gear.

My Matriarch is also my second unit, the first one broke. Some uC decided it was not working anymore and the delay and some of the other buttons would randomly switch state. It did that after I had had it for three months while I was playing live for a small group of people, it was the first time it was on for more than an hour or so but besides that nothing had happened to it. I didn't even moved it and I'm religious with dust covers and all that.

Right, but compression itself is not an ignition source; all the compression does is generate heat, so really it's no different!
Instead of a stockpile you replace every so often, it's a lot cheaper to just buy extra of the long shelf life things you use. Instead of keeping one jar of peanut butter, you have ten (or however many you'll reliably use before they go bad).

Not being a lawyer I can only assume the ideal is to be able to keep a lot of details and legal history in your head while also being able to apply what you know in creative and unexpected ways.

From my limited exposure to the profession, it seems like some aspects of legal work might require someone to spontaneously recall vast amounts of information, but much of it also seems to leave plenty of time for research and deep contemplation. The legal system in the US often moves at a glacial pace and legal requests, responses, strategies, and defenses can be crafted carefully and with a lot of time, research, and billable hours going into them. It makes me think that a person could be a good lawyer without the ability to recall a bunch of the types of specifics you'd need to pass the bar, although it might limit their utility leaving them better suited for some tasks than others.

It seems like the issue comes up a lot in talks about AI replacing lawyers. Computers would certainly be better at remembering details, adhering to protocol, processing large volumes of evidence, and recalling relevant laws and the past cases dealing with them, as well as all kinds of analysis humans would struggle with, but I've often seen it argued that while AI might be really great at that kind of thing, exceptional human lawyers need problem solving skills and the ability to apply that information in ways computers would struggle with or never consider. The context is usually that robot lawyers might make legal assistance more accessible and affordable for many people, but those having to depend on it could also end up highly disadvantaged when up against expensive AI-backed human legal teams.

As AI and automation become increasingly used by law firms, or as it starts to actually replace lawyers, I wonder if the bar requirement could end up excluding exactly the kind of people who might better augment the computer systems.

> If Adacore had published a full featured free compiler for students/universities by the time Ada 95...

Didn't they? I wasn't around then, so I'm working with what information I can find online. According to Wikipedia it was fully validated in 1995[1], and I'm pretty sure it was always a free compiler based on GCC. I think the dust had settled on the battlefield of the language wars long before Ada 95. It was/is still common for European universities to teach Ada as part of the computer science curriculum. That still hasn't managed to give Ada the industry presence it deserves. In my opinion it's by far the superior language. It's just losing out for human reasons.

> ...gigantic industry sponsor e.g. golang...

It had the biggest industry sponsor at one stage: The US Department of Defense. Back in the late 70s, and early 80s when the DoD was directly sponsoring Ada's development, they had incredibly deep pockets. I'd say this is why Ada is so comprehensive today. They had the money, and motivation to design the language by committee down to the most minor details.

Fair point about the speed, but what I care about is minimizing travel time variance, not minimizing total travel time.

The leadership in SF has not the will to make such a thing happen.

If the government drastically increased interest rates during covid you're right we'd have less inflation. I don't see the argument here.

> This is what people seem to forget. Trade involves two items, so you gotta look at both sides of the trade (in this case credit+dollars vs goods). Dollar supply has increased dramatically since 2020, credit near free, while the supply of goods has decreased. Obviously that's a recipe for inflation.

I don't think anyone forgets this. The standard model says supply constrained + generous fiscal/monetary policy = inflation.
