I should have said I live in the burbs of NJ (and sometimes VT). I agree. Vehicle as a service isn't an urban-friendly product. Perhaps that's why we haven't really seen it yet?

That aside, I have friends in London and aside from rush hour, I find the public trans - mostly by tube, sometimes bus - amazing. Generally on time, clean, safe, etetc. I would imagine Londoners feel otherwise. Too bad for them.

Perhaps a lot of people can't tell the difference between a journalist and a comedian pretending to be a journalist.

I struggled with it for a long time, without even knowing I was struggling with it. I fact-checked one of them and realized the truth of the whole comedy situation, and I've viewed them completely differently ever since.
I don't think it's particularly impressive.

He's not that different to a top-tier Youtuber or influencer of which there are hundreds who have managed to build successful content businesses with very small staff.

They are all just standing on the shoulders of the platforms and content creation tools which allows them to affordably produce and distribute high quality content to billions. Something which has never previously been possible.
"Ambition should be celebrated"

I might agree with this depending on what the specific goal is. But why should ambition be generally celebrated?

There is certainly ambition that has brought about improvement in life. There has also been ambition applied to the wrong ends or failing that has brought suffering. I'm not sold on the idea that the goal of continually increasing comp above an already luxurious level is meaningful or worth a third party celebrating. I especially feel this way about our industry where comp seems detached from the contributions are not easily attributed/calculated.

The official history of the Intel company claims that 4004 (in 1971) was the first "microprocessor".

The word "microprocessor" is typically used to mean "monolithic processor" a.k.a. "monolithic CPU", where "processor" a.k.a. "CPU" is a traditional term for a component of a general-purpose programmable computer, and "monolithic" means that the CPU is implemented in a single semiconductor chip.

Intel 4004 had nothing to do with general-purpose programmable computers. It was a chip used for making desktop calculators with fixed functions. Its architecture had nothing in common with the following microprocessors, from Intel and from other companies.

So I do not agree with Intel's claim. In my opinion, it is correct to consider that Intel 8008 from 1972 is the first microprocessor. Intel 8008, which implemented the architecture of the Datapoint 2200, was indeed a CPU for a general-purpose programmable computer.

The following mainline Intel processors, i.e. 8080, 8085, 8086 and so on, had ISA's derived from that of Intel 8008, and even the latest AMD Zen 4 and Intel Raptor Lake still include some derivatives of most of the 8008 instructions in their ISA's, for backward compatibility reasons.

The only reason why Intel 4004 has a place in the history of microprocessors is that this project has provided an opportunity for a team of Intel engineers to learn how to design complex digital integrated circuits in MOS technology.

Previously, Intel was a memory company. The logic design of memories was far simpler than the design of a CPU. Had Intel started directly with a general-purpose CPU, they would have needed much more time to discover how to design one.

After the experience with designing the Intel 4004, the Intel engineers have conceived a methodology of how to design complex logic circuits using their PMOS process, which they have then successfully used to design the Intel 8008.

If Intel 4004 would be considered as a processor, because it was also able to execute arithmetic operations, then it would not be clear where a line should be drawn. By that argument, why not also consider a monolithic ALU, like Texas Instruments 74181, as being a microprocessor.
We probably can’t agree here, but to me it was clear he wanted to avoid criticism by hiding behind his comedian status while simultaneously relishing the power and influence he had as a journalist.
Maybe the schizophrenic uncle is telling us the earth is not at the centre of the universe, should we censor him?

telegram is the only chat app that offers Free Software clients, does not force me to share my phonenumber, is easy enough to use even for old people.

matrix is ok. but element is still buggy and the ux is complex and takes some learning.

another alternative is deltachat. it uses smtp as transport and works with an email account. the UX is also easy enough to use. easier than matrix/element.

Joe Rogan is more of a journalist than any major news organization, and that is the most worrying thing about it all. The major organizations know this.
IMO, there is something going on here. Besides the large amount of inflaming articles published by aista, a lot of ... interesting articles show up when you google the people involved, if you go down that rabbit hole:

The JREs guest roster only has two flavors. Right wing and "I'd rather not go too much in depth about my politics". There were maybe 5 episodes in the history of the show where Joe is confronted with left wing talking points, and aside from the Bernie episode it was always an accident.

Notably, the one other exception is Joe calling bullshit on Ben Shapiro's claims.

The show has never invited anyone in favor of affirmative trans healthcare, for instance. But they did invite Debra Soh and Abigail Shier almost purely because they were against it.

But because the JRE pretends it's a free speech zone where no opinion is unheard, it creates a very biased view of public opinion in viewers. A division into "the woke mob" of ideologues and the "intellectual dark web" of people that are supposedly free of ideology. The show is massively contributing to what it says it hates.
I read it to be a syringe or an iv drip. It definitely feels like disparate levels of administering, but going around this studio with an iv seems really inconvenient.

for their purchases of substances

Purchases are where the sales at. Strange that these sellers aren’t using more secure messengers.

I believe that illegal activity is a good litmus test for a messenger, much better than forum theories or headlines. If for some reason drug dealers stay away from particular apps, so should you.
Not sure if this is slow because of HN load or if my browser is struggling to render all the scooters. Maybe they should be hidden on loading the app.
That's the Extra Notes section, the actual hosting steps end just before that.
That is one of the goals. Many white-collar classes (lawyers, politicians, etc.) are unhappy with their share of the profits and level of influence over this high-value and high-status sector.
> I know that most feel that they absolutely HAVE to do these things, since there are part of the business process/ definition of done/company guidelines etc...

Anecdote: at current position I've noticed 100% of my team time goes to "these things". As a team lead I tried to figure out the actual necessity. After I've "lost" the half of the team insisting on doing all the rituals the remaining half started to deliver actual value with much less stress.

Hmm. I’ve mused about this before. Right now my thought is this: the Earth is like our home. Sounds, smells, gravity, light, and proximity to other living things is all familiar to our bodies.

Put a human in the alien landscape of space (not to mention far away planets) and you may discover new (maddening) sensations. Like being heavily dosed on a narcotic cocktail. Disorientation. Detachment.

Oh wait. That’s Burning Man. Haha

He has deliberately made it that way because it is highly profitable for him.
At least C++ is now a much nicer language that it was before C++11, isn't it?

You're not gripping reality here. It always helps. Using less water means we have water for longer.

Running at a deficit of 10% vs 5% would make an enormous difference. It would extend the water we have now as we identify ways to mitigate the problem. If it's wasted water it's wasted water. That "slight difference" could be 20 extra years. A drought could end in that time frame.

That 100 calories saved could mean 20 lbs, the difference between getting a back surgery or not because it's too dangerous at weights above X (this is real, btw.) It matters. Even if it doesn't seem like it to you.
Winter heating in Germany is covered by gas, not electricity. There is no competition here. In fact, one could use surplus renewable energy at close to zero marginal cost to produce green LNG, the efficiency wouldn't matter. Store that gas for winter or something like that.
This is roughly what I do too. I've found it pretty good.

Minor differences:

I use Dvorak as the base setup.

I use the same system on Mac laptops, so the two inner thumb keys are both 'space' because when on the laptop rather than a split keyboard I use the spacebar to toggle into the num/symbol layer if held.

Command keys on Mac laptop (either side of the spacebar) are set to backspace and enter if used individually.

I didn't got full home row mods. I use two keys at once for ctrl (sd or kl on a qwerty layout), and two keys at once for shift (cv or m, on querty).

A few other double key shortcuts e.g. xc as ":" for vim stuff, and cv in querty (jk in dvorak) as escape.

I have a 36 key keyboard but I guess due to the double space it's a 35 key layout. Don't use the other button (option) for much, just arrow keys with vim hjkl so could possibly live without it as a 33 key layout.

Doing so is essentially a hallmark of a society. Laws against fraud, for example, are among the oldest in existence, despite fraud overwhelmingly targeting the most credulous among us (for obvious reasons). This is a good thing, actually.

Hey HN! I like having an email on my website that people can contact me on, but wasn't too keen on having my personal email out there. Google Workspace runs you about £5 a month and given my site currently costs me £5 a year for the domain, that wasn't an option for me. This is a pretty simple solution that uses a few AWS services to proxy email from an address on your domain to any personal email you want

The fact that he turned out an extremely solid wartime politician came as a massive surprise to me. At the very least, whoever is in charge of his image is doing a phenomenal job.
A fundamental of the human condition is we don't know who is lying and who is telling the truth. You can get a pretty good hit rate assuming everyone is lying, but the misses with that strategy are catastrophic because the rare truthful and productive people are dynamos.

What people really want is someone who, as best they can, is a bit humble and a bit curious. A note which Rogan hits a lot better than most. It is irrelevant whether he is right or wrong, that isn't what people are looking for. They can't assess that and frankly most people don't prioritise the truth that highly. If they want to be told what is right and wrong they can go watch cable and get told by the likes of government officials, or the clergy. Neither are popular. People want to know what opinions are floating around.

From that perspective, Joe Rogan does no wrong. He is fulfilling a role that people are desperate for. It is easy to overestimate the confident and noisy moralisers who worry about normal people hearing things that are not true - they aren't actually popular. That class of people are the sort who staff censorship bureaus.
I’d say fairness also requires mentioning how the browser has been able to improve because of killing off XUL extensions; technologically, they were holding things back. Firefox is considerably faster than would have been possible without breaking a great many XUL extensions anyway. And more secure, if you care about that kind of thing, which normal people probably do or should, but frankly it’s the performance I care more about. So this is a “yeah, it’s a pity, but there were good reasons and you have benefited from it, even as you suffered” kind of thing.

Also how much more reliable long-term extension/browser compatibility has improved: I’ve used Firefox Nightly as my daily driver for about ten of the last twelve years, and until 2017 I’d spot at least one or two breakages each year, mostly fairly minor, but the occasional major (a couple of which accounted for maybe six months of going back to stable—and the lead-up to the killing of XUL extensions was another few months on stable because not all that I wanted was ready on WebExtensions yet). The extensions were typically patched before the change hit stable Firefox, so normal users wouldn’t notice most. But since WebExtensions, I don’t recall a single breakage. I acknowledge that the biggest breakages were in functionality that cannot be replicated any more, like Pentadactyl (and I ended up not even trying to replace it), but still, the minor and subtle breakages are just gone.
I didn’t suggest killing competing theories. Only pointing out that this analogy is missing some fairly important characteristics. You know, the ones people are actually worried about.

Pedantry incoming: Intel processors are also made of silicon.

"Apple Silicon" is just a way to say chips designed by Apple vs a 3rd party like Intel.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted - this is the legal standard which many state entities have successfully applied for years, often to the glee of HN users (e.g. US companies getting GDPR fines because they have users in the EU).
I think this is very important: The poll is intended to be able to claim that their users want as little cooperation as possible. And giving the "((1+2)/2). any serious crime but WITH a warrant" option would have undermined that, so they manipulate the poll.

At least that's what I'm reading into this. Picking option #2 was my personal "f..k y.." to them for this manipulation; not that it changes anything. (I really don't want to have a company share info without a warrant, but when a court warrant is issued they should comply).
Countries should stop pointing at what other countries should do and look more at what they themselves can do. Yes, China pollutes a lot and should clean up. And so does the US. It's not one or the other, it's both.
Spent good chunk of my Amiga life hacking in Blitz2. Good it is still getting developed. One day I'll be arsed to dig out my HDD image and stick it into euae.
I agree. Especially when you don't really know how something is going to work. So many times when I'm working on a hard problem, coding out half a solution makes the rest of it naturally fall out (or show that I was completely wrong) without having to consciously think about it.
Telegram is not a privacy-focused messenger. It is not a messenger at all, it is a dialog-based development platform, like WeChat. Most of its value is in public channels and groups, and bots. It is dead simple to build a useful Telegram bot; good luck doing this on Signal.

Wire and Threema are serious privacy-focused messengers. They have all things necessary for good privacy: full E2E, pseudonymous IDs not linked to phone numbers, multiple accounts, ephemeral accounts, side-channel authentication, etc.

Signal is something in between. It is not enough for state of the art privacy (as it is linked to phone numbers which are really tightly coupled to real-world identities), and it doesn’t provide a lot of features to be a good development platform. I think it is stuck in its current state, and no longer evolving.
Are you taking into consideration that none of that happened and it's meant to be comical?
If your primary usage is development, I still think the resolution on the screen is a very important factor for your eyes.

> Media companies have layers of editors, they have at least some diversity, a woman will hopefully look at a story or script before it goes out, sometimes even a lawyer might tell them to tone it down a bit

Sometimes editors and a corporate machine behind the news isn’t the best thing.

Take, for example, Amy Robach. A CBS reporter who wanted to air the Jeffery Epstein story years before he was arrested for the second time. Then ABC tipping off CBS and the leaker being fired.

There’s also the Chris Cuomo basement scandal.

Or Brian Williams lying about his experience covering Iraq.

Or Glenn Greenwald and Bari Weiss being pushed out of their newspapers.

Or studies showing that the media covered Russia’s invasion of Ukraine far more than the US invasion of Iraq.

Or censoring of the Hunter Biden laptop story. Also haven’t seen much about the contents of the diary in the mainstream press…

The media has failed time and time again on what I outlined above and much more. They have an agenda, be it left or right, that is larger than any one person and are largely beholden to advertisers and whatnot.

I applaud independent media. There are a lot of people doing really great work on substack. Jimmy Dore, for example, does amazing reporting and really shows the bias of the media.

People like Alex Berenson, Matt Taibi, Glenn Greenwald, etc are doing really great investigative reporting that I once respected mainstream outlets for.

Just because someone has a large audience doesn’t mean they should be censored. Talking to people about things for hours is invaluable and Rogan does a great job on his show.

Curious — What’s the point of this? Specifically it’s lacking controls for parameters, user prompts do not appear to show in feed, unable to filter feed, etc.

Did you make the interface? What did you learn so far? What do you hope to accomplish? How much is this costing? How many prompts hour are you running? Where are prompts coming from? Anything specific feedback you’re looking for? Any changes you’re planning to make? Have you shared this elsewhere publicly and what are URLs?

Also checked your profile, which links to a blog, but nothing on it either.

> Even if that was true, the above is 7 lines of code. That is 3.5 times as many LOC as my 2 liner. Science shows us that the amount of resources required to maintain code is proportional to the LOC count. Your example is hence 3.5 times more demanding in both initial resources to create it and resources required to maintain it. One of OOP's sales pitches was "that it makes it easier to maintain your code". You just scientifically proved it wrong ...

I think it has to be trolling, right? I haven't seen mention of LOC as a useful metric since the oughts.
