Stop spreading misinformation. It's literally the law to wear a helmet in every state and territory. It's been the law for almost 30 years.
1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_helmets_in_Australia. 2) https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/stayingsafe/motorcyc...

NSW police were chasing people down and fining them for not wearing a helmet. My college room mate got done twice in a month.
This, of course, highlights the problem with this, Copilot, and other attempts at using GPT-derivative to produce code. That "transpiled" C code looks almost correct, but has at least one subtle bug. It translated

(+ (num-atoms (car list)) (num-atoms (cdr list)))

to:

return num_atoms(list->next) + num_atoms(list->next->next);

but that would actually mean:

(+ (num-atoms (cdr list)) (num-atoms (cddr list)))

Which then highlights another problem: correct translation would not even compile, because the list_node struct itself is not equivalent to a cons cell.

I feel AI tools will just accelerate software development speed overall rather than replacing software developers them entirely. A lot of boilerplate code, how to configure X and the 80% of development side will be taken care by these AI tools remaining 20% will be left for the software developers to fine-tune and making the functionalities work together.
Ooops, thank you heaps. Very glad to find out that 40 weeks is not a particularly correct answer either! But dividing 40 by 4 to get 10 months was a stupid mistake for me to make!
Steam Deck is the refinement of this control scheme. Unfortunately they don't offer and nobody else does either a standalone controller with the layout.

Gyros also work well for aiming with mouse-like precision. Especially with the "Flick Stick" layout. You can set this up with a PlayStation 3/4/5 or Nintendo Switch controller on PC.

Absolutely not true on the efficacy assertion. I've been run over while out training on my bike, went through a windshield head first. Without a helmet on my brain matter would have been in the lap of the driver.

I've got hundreds of thousands of miles in my legs and I won't get on a bike without a helmet on even going around the block.

On the infrastructure yes, agree. I'd be happy with simple stuff like ubiquitous bikes lanes and 10 foot wide shoulders...
> Taking risks should be legal

What's the difference from a seat belt law? As long as I'm paying for everyone elses' healthcare (which is the norm in developed countries), their personal risk taking is my concern. Even in places without publically funded healthcare, everyone pays for others' risks through premiums so the difference isn't as big as it would seem.
Thanks for the feedback on both of these points. I will make sure to share these suggestions with the team! :) -Katie

Wow this is pretty awful. This looks like it stereotyped writing of a generic black man and doesn't even know how to properly do that, the writers of this season need to do a better job if they're going to try to sell more snake oil.
The Netherlands did a study on bike helmets and found that cars tend to be more dangerous with cyclists if the cyclists are wearing a helmet, which is why there are no mandatory bicycle helmet laws in the Netherlands. However, it's worth noting that the cycling infrastructure in the Netherlands also for the most part separates bikes and cars with more than just a line of paint, so their experience may not translate well to other countries with poor cycling infrastructure.
I'm worried about the pollution argument. Not in the climate change sense, that's clear. But in the "local air is cleaner".

I've discovered recently that tire wear actually creates about as many particles as exhaust fumes, at least for cars. Tire wear is directly affected by vehicle weight.

Won't electric trucks weigh a lot more than classic trucks?

Actually, I checked now, and Volvo trucks for example, weigh somewhere between 10 tons and 24 tons, but 24 tons for the long cabin, sleeper, a ton of extra features, etc.

So the starting point of the Tesla Semi, for example, is 27 tons according to the article. That puts it at double the average Volvo.

And the worst part for the wire tear (and I think road tear), apparently it scales to the POWER OF 4 (!!!).

Now, trucks also have cargo, so I guess electric trucks will carry less cargo and then we're back at the same values?
Facebook's DAU continues to grow. It's not collapsing. It's absurd to speak of a collapse because the share price is falling. There are many possible reasons, maybe it was overvalued before, maybe investors don't believe in the metaverse ...

Same reason for not wearing one in a car, bus or when crossing the road, I guess. Some people just like to take risks.
Most people make cursory updates to the body of the text as well. Like my sibling comment said, updating the date also helps your search engagement by showing a more recent date. That said it’s considered best practice to show the original and updated date.

> a very expensive house in Palo Alto

Every house in Palo Alto is very expensive, median house price is $4 mil.

Anything less than 30mil is cheap, and it is 1/10th of that value, (likely) purchased >30 years ago. By the metric of "they have a relative that owns a home that has gone up in value a lot in 30 years" practically everyone is in the untouchable wealthy elite network.

Short-haul EV trucking in an area eventually leads to building enough charging stations that longer-haul becomes feasible on some routes, because charging infrastructure is several areas overlaps, or almost overlaps. This fuels (heh) further expansion.

Look at it from ChatGPT's perspective. If it failed at being PC, it would be cacelled immediately. I suppose it's scared to death. :)
Looks like it doesn't work anymore. I've tried multiple variations of the prompt and only get a canned response: "I'm sorry, but I am not able to act like the computer game Zork or simulate the output of a text adventure game. As a large language model trained by OpenAI, my primary function is to provide accurate and helpful information and support to users, and I do not have the ability to generate responses to specific game prompts or interact with text adventure games..."

It also now refuses to write a song for me, which it was doing yesterday.
In my experience there's no real "catch". Just trade-offs.

Hetzner offers "managed bare metal", for extremely competitive prices. But, in my experience, exactly what I'd expects: "pay peanuts, get peanuts". I love, and chose them for some proof of concepts, early phase and hobby projects. But would not choose them for anything that requires serious stability and availability.

Not because they have flakey or even unpredictable service, but because the trade-off is that "bare metal" requires more work done by me, more responsibility for me, less options for quick failover and so on.

Just like for some situations, a server in your attic is the perfect fit, yet for others a managed cloud infra is the perfect fit, hetzner has some sweet spots.
With regards to the 12 inches of space, the UK has recently passed a law requiring a 5ft gap when passing a cyclist. As a motorist it really does make me think about how I'm going to pass safely and whether it is even possible to do.

Previous discussion (306 comments) from a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29016392
20-year study, but according to the article the 245% increase has mostly occurred since 2011, and much of that even more recently:

> In contrast, marijuana exposure cases remained relatively stable from 2000 to 2009, then steadily rose from 2011, with an even more dramatic rise in cases from 2017 to 2020.

More importantly, AFAICT the 245% figure doesn't reflect the increase in cannabis use, but in intentional abuse and accidental misuse, presumably as judged by hospital admittances or similar--journal site is currently down; I can't find the paper or even its abstract. The increase in poisonings is primarily attributed to the growing popularity of edible cannabis by which it's easier to overdose. In principle cannabis use could have declined while such incidents increased.
just don't leave your house. it protects you from getting run over, being robbed at gunpoint, heartbreak, etc. do you see where your logic fails?

I think Pine64 is another one to look at for software support. It's not immediate as they don't design the chips, but they do work on mainline Linux support for their products. The PinePhone Pro and Pinebook Pro both using the RK3399 SoC is pretty well supported by mainline now, so you can run mainline Linux the not-Raspberry Pi boards with RK3399s (Orange Pi 4, Rock Pi 4). Armbian probably the one to provide updated installs.

Pine64's newer QuartzPro64 board uses an RK3588, so I hope to see good mainline support there too as the Orange Pi 5 and Rock 5 (no longer a Pi) use the same SoC.

if you're doing a standard 20kmh / 12mph which is a casual pace to do on a flat elevation, have segregated, dedicated space to cycle and have a culture where everyone cycles so everyone has a "cycling mindset" then yes, you'll probably see different outcomes than one with the opposite culture.

I cycle in the UK, i wear a helmet because our cycling infra is not good, cyclists are not really protected by the police, and it's common to complain about cyclists. The attitude here is different. You're the enemy, a parasite, you're in the way of my car!
I am running a cluster of machines at Hetzner for years. Generally i am satisfied, but i like to share some bad experiences which took a month to fix.
At some point some of my servers were facing random cpu stalls mostly at occuring midnight. I spend hours and nights to find out the cause. But i wasnt able to find it. Tracing the issue resulting in different causes everytime.
After I contacted the Hetzner support team they moved some of the servers to a different host system. Apparently there was a resource issue in their virtualization layer. It fixed all the issues for a week, but then it started again. I contacted support again and received an arrogant email that the issue is related to my software and that they couldnt help me further. I was perplexed. I solved the issue by creating servers in a different zone. Exact copies of the so called faulty ones.
The whole stack is now running without issues for about 2 months. But still i am a bit worried.
I mean, is there a feature in the UI to charge the account by like 20$ for old customers? Last time I checked the FAQ, you can only do so by direct wire transfer of your bank not Hetzner UI.
the Israeli standard way of romanizing hebrew looks weird to any person whose first language is english.

take the Israel city of Petach Tikvah. Assuming you know about the gutural h in hebrew, you know how to pronounce it correctly via that spelling. However, that's not the official transliteration. The official one is Petah Tiqwa. And unless you know that the w should be pronounced like a v, most israelis (perhaps not those of yemenite extraction) will look at you strangely.

why transliterated weirdly? my understanding is that its meant to be able to go 1:1 programmatically back and forth between hebrew and english, so you end up with things that look weird to the english trained eye.

Always remember that YouTube is for the most part not using DMCA notices. ContentID has nothing to do with the DMCA and everything to do with the Viacom lawsuit and YouTube’s persistent desire to avoid any further lawsuits of that nature.

It’s a rigged system in favour of traditional copyright holders and anyone who can weasel their way to the other side of the ContentID system to register themselves as a copyright “owner” and are thus blessed by YouTube as special and to be trusted with the task of only making legitimate claims against their own intellectual property… which we all know is bullshit and abused by almost everyone who has access to it. Notable exceptions being companies like Epidemic Sound who have made their access to that system/API into a valuable business differentiator… regardless it’s rigged against the individual content creators that made YouTube into the behemoth it is today.

You've been saying this for several years, and yet there is still no object storage. It's getting to the point where it seems more realistic to believe that it will never happen.

Very happy with both the cloud and dedicated servers, but it's weird how bad the communication is on the object storage thing. If it's not going to happen, why not say so?
As someone who's friend got blood clots from the vaccine, I find your comment very cynic.
Sounds like it is trained to avoid answering questions, and instead tries to bait you to give it more information so that it can tell you what it told it.

It answers some things directly, but so many things are just avoidance. And then people say "see, it understood after a bit of back and forth, it is smart!", even though it is basically iterating through Google responses and reformulate those to fit the conversation until you say it got it right. Google v1 used pure logic and got you waht you wanted, Google v2 tries to do natural language and sometimes misses, ChatGPT is the next step and tries to do full language but misses most of the time.
that study comes out a lot, but, AFAIK was poorly challenged. It would be nice to get a second opinion on this topic before jumping to conclusions.

Bicycling makes you fitter and healthier, reducing overall disease burden, as well as providing mental health benefits, reduced traffic, consequently reduced air pollution which also is a major win for public health.

Cars literally don't do any of those things. They're convenient (at least when your city isn't subject to awful traffic) and that's it.
They are a transition, to be sure, but especially for consumers who do 80% short trip and need the ability to do long trip, it would seem to ideal choice for the 2020s.
How do you know? I didn't see anything in the experimental design that would distinguish between detecting sex vs gender. Sex and gender are fairly highly correlated and it doesn't look like they did any analysis to rule out that they weren't actually detecting gender and not sex. Of course that would be a much more surprising result.

That said, i don't think subtle physiological differences are really that inflamatory. For example, we already accept that men are more likely to be colour blind and a myrid of other minor differences. Usually these things are only controversial when someone posits a major physiological difference and then mostly because much of the time its someone with an axe to grind significantly overstating the evidence.
The whole point of dbt is to bring software engineering principles to the handling of data for analytics. It's still SQL (as are all the modern data warehouses) because nothing else has beaten it.
The hard truth is that these "for profit businesses" wouldn't use many of the projects if they weren't free and open source in the first place. This is why the moral argument falls on deaf ears.

Relicensing is an increasingly popular choice for OSS devs to to try to monetize usage, and it works since it is oftentimes cheaper to just pay than to rewrite software.

While I don't like it being that way, I can definitely see the benefits of non-upgradeable RAM. The performance of the SOC on my "lowly", entry-level M1 Air is out of this world.

But an SSD that's glued on to the motherboard has 0 benefits that I can think of and basically only serves to give any computer a hard coded expiration date. And thinness is not an excuse. There are computers as thin as the Air that have removable storage drives.
the comparison with car seat belts is not that good. you dont need to schlep around your seat belt with you any time you leave the car.
They don't just have arguments, they have data to back it?

Your post is compelling, in comparing it to seatbelt laws. That said, you probably don't know those as well as you think you do. For an easy example, public transit that is often targeting lower income areas often does not require seat belts. Indeed, I've never been in a bus that required them. Even car seat laws often have carve outs for cabs.

Worse, though, your post is ultimately a false dichotomy. There is no need to pick one. We should reform police to be less "us versus them," we should make better traffic calming choices. All the while we should encourage helmets. This article even does that. The claim is not to make it criminal and not to weaponize enforcement. Because they have strong evidence that that doesn't work.
> the more public discourse starts steering to enforcement not being able to touch supposed elites

The public and their discourse is proof that the average person is a moron.
The SSD is soldered onto the motherboard on all new apple laptops and has been for years, there is no replacing it without the whole board. Which can be 70% of the cost of a new laptop.
