It has always kind of bothered me that XMLHttpRequest was neither XmlHttpRequest, nor XMLHTTPRequest.

There's probably some reason buried deep in the Microsoft (formerly Micro-Soft!) project docs.

The Battle over Bike Lanes Needs a Mindset Shift
Yes, I've been going back and forth between Google and ChatGPT quite a bit lately. Sort of using Google as the verification step, after getting deeper into a subject.
I wanted to rule out the vaccine as the cause, since it started before vaccines were available. And wanted to offer a similarity to the OP. A virus or some illness I got back in January 2020 caused a deregulation in my immune system that I still suffer from today in 2023.
Ivory tower type calls good engineering ‘not particularly innovative’
People are attracted to attributes that cannot be changed even with effort. Face, height, skin color? There is no "solving" that.
Can't speak for the US but next door in Canada there are waiting lists for EVs. Second-hand EVs sell very well, too. We feel lucky we bought a second-hand, short range EV several years ago and it does almost all of our driving tasks. Haven't visited a gas station in a long time.
It's intended. Yes serving static files from Ruby is slower than from nginx or whatever, but you'd need to embed nginx in the image and run both processes etc.

The assumption here is that there is a caching proxy in front of the container, so Rails will only serve each assets once, so performance isn't critical.
> What are the catalysts for a private company switching from options to RSUs (double trigger).

For employees at very early companies that are going the venture route, ISOs are a no-brainer. The company is small enough that the strike price isn't too onerous, the company is too small to hit up against the IRS limits, and they provide pretty good tax treatment under the assumption that the company will grow massively in value - like, 100,000x - which is the the optimistic case that everyone wants to optimize for.

For employees at late stage companies (e.g. last funding round before IPO), ISOs are a rough deal. The strike price is large, so the only people who can afford to exercise them before a liquidity event are people who are already independently wealthy. The tax benefits are also still present, but smaller, because the expectation is that the company might grow 10x in valuation, but not 100x or 100,000x (most $100M companies are not going to grow to $10 trillion in valuation).

RSUs avoid that problem, by requiring zero cash up-front, in exchange for less favorable tax treatment in the "company grows 100x-100,000x" case - which is fine, because that's less relevant.

Of course, the billion dollar question is where the inflection point happens - when do RSUs become a better deal than ISOs? There's no universal answer to that, and some of that depends on specifics of the company, and some of that also depends on who you ask (certain people will benefit more than others from the switch at different points, so it depends on how much the company is weighing each of those [metaphorical] stakeholders).

ISOs also have one other advantage for companies: because they have to be exercised within 90 days of departure, a large portion of ISOs that are granted will never actually be exercised (the employee will choose to leave them unexercised, either because they don't have the money to pay for the exercise price + taxes or because they don't want to). So every option granted is <1 share actually given up (in expectation), allowing the company to grant bigger compensation packages (because some portion of those will not actually be used, and can therefore be reallocated to someone else).

With RSUs, every RSU granted is 1 share actually given up (except in the case where the RSUs expire, which makes the company look bad).
> it however will be baked into almost every search engine and allow an "alternative" way to search the web, where you get answers to simple questions right away without having to go to a website.

That's what Google does quite a lot already anyway. The difference is that Google directly cites its source and offers alternative links - which is necessary, since if you need to verify the answer with a Google search, you might as well skip asking ChatGPT (or an equivalent) beforehand.

Since ChatGPT is fundamentally trained to do a different thing (word completion), I have a hard time imagining that you can sufficiently coax it into replacing an actual search. But we will see.
That smile is so creepy.

The iOS shortcut instantly turns any recipe page into a consistent, usable cooking experience. I’m open to any feedback/ideas about how to tell that story better!
> Training for a job that pays below what you need to live comfortably is a choice. You may feel passionate enough about that job that you are willing to accept the consequences of a low salary. If you are not, then you should not train to do that job.

My problem with this is that there are a lot of jobs in the US that are important (physical therapists, speech language pathologists, some nursing positions, pharmacy techs, educators) that are getting to be not worth paying for the training. You don't make enough to money to pay it back.

And I want people to choose to do those jobs. :)
Stanford has campus rabbis now? Yes, they do. Not just a branch of Hillel or Chabad.
For a secular university, Stanford seems to have acquired quite a religious establishment.[1] They have all the major brands represented.[2] There's even a atheist chaplain.[3]

This looks less like theology and more like Stanford's administrative bloat.

As for Mein Kampf,[4] it's useful to read it again today, along with a biography of Putin to understand where the Ukraine mess came from. There's an "our destiny is to rule the world" mindset. It's back.

How much has your bill increased by now?
The difference of course between all of the rubbish that crypto/Bitcoin is (since they are, at the end of the day, in the same boat), is that by entrusting central parties to handle financial transactions in our traditional financial systems we have methods by which we can reverse transactions, whereas in any blockchain system there is no real authority, by design, so any stolen assets are lost forever. There aren't security "tradeoffs", because there is not a way in which any blockchain based currency is any more secure than current finances, outside of the fact that no bank or government entity could take your digital beanie babies because they don't have the token, which isn't an issue in traditional banks either unless you're a criminal for the most part. And in order to get this "advantage" of blockchain, you have to completely remove its ability to be used as a currency since for any amount of crypto or Bitcoin to be useful in the real world it almost always has to be converted back into fiat, once again centralizing it. The whole concept is extremely flawed, hasn't really gained any ground outside of FOMO'ers, and will likely die out again soon, thankfully.
I don't think most people truly appreciate how difficult hydrogen is to work with. It is nothing like fossil fuels which can happily sit in a regular tank for extended periods of time and be fine.
Yep - I'm generally a fan of the Toyota brand and hope for their continued success - but they definitely need to make more cars like the RAV4 Prime. If the dealer markups and lack of inventory on the RAV4 Prime continue it will definitely be a missed opportunity.
I visited London right after I read Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, and we ended up in a cathedral off Fleet Street (I was quite disappointed that my mental image from the books was a 20m wide open sewer and in fact the buildings today might only be 5m apart close to the Thames) which was designed by Christopher Wren after the London Fire.

I don't recall the name, I'm sure someone here who knows London can work it out from my description, but you could go up into the dome and I remarked to myself that the fall to the marble floor from the highest opening in the dome could easily kill a man.

I've probably repeated this story here half a dozen times now, but in the background information posted at the church it said that he had so many people wanting to commission him for building their church yesterday that he built them without bell towers with an agreement that once everyone was back in business, he'd come back around and build the towers on. Seeing how complex those domes were, I'm not quite clear why adding a tower later was a substantial savings in time and effort but that's the story.
That's probably what they're trying to say on the surface. I'm a bit less charitable and can't help but feel that there's also a saltiness factor that somebody else got all the attention -- but, even to your point, "other companies also have this capability today and that transformers have been more of an evolutionary process than a revolutionary process" - we probably should ask why game changing research like this has been placed under the veil of secrecy and kept hidden from the public for so long.

It seems like AI researchers have a collective tendency to invent reasons to hide the latest advances from the public. Then when ChatGPT is released publicly, of course the public is astounded by its capabilities.

I can't help recalling the incident where Blake Lemoine claimed Google's LaMDA was sentient. I don't necessarily agree with his claims, but people were generally quicker to dismiss his claims as nonsense than I expected. It is quite clear that no matter whether the sentient claims were valid, Google did have an AI that's on par with ChatGPT today. That should have been news itself, but all I recall seeing was experts shooting down (aka "debunking") Lemoine without recognizing that there was something more to the story.

FWIW I don't think ChatGPT as-is is sentient (if only because OpenAI probably tweaked it until it couldn't talk about itself), but this technology is still hugely impactful. Maybe the AI researchers who thinks ChatGPT is overhyped are just a bit out of touch with the general public after years of having access to private models.
At least that’s the reason I’ve heard for preferring C-style mod. Or rather, round-to-zero integer division it faster than round-to-negative-infinity integer division and arguably, you should choose / and % such that a = (a / b) * b + (a % b) always holds. This then forces the strange convention for %.
I'll bite, what are you referring to?
My understanding from the book was that CO2 is an essential part of the mechanism that transfers oxygen to your muscles. If you breathe too much you have too little CO2, your muscles can't get enough oxygen and they don't work efficiently. I've no idea if this is true, but since I read the book I breathe less when exercising and it seems to help. Edited to add: I'd forgotten, when I first started breathing less during exercise it made a huge difference, like coming down from altitude. I recommend it.
That's hilarious, watch some of the trails on courtTV on youtube. The trials are are as culturally biased as you can get. And these ones are the ones we get to see. Judges are not some logical Spock! Free of influence, politics, and current group think. But people who think about their careers, public opinion and know who pays their paycheck. And these are the the competent ones.
I remember judge Judy proclaiming "If it doesn't make sense, it's not true!!!",
while screaming at some goy. This is pretty much the level of logic you can expect from a judge.
Why an app and not a website? Why does everything need to be an app these days?
Indeed, this is one of the things that's wrong with first-generation music services: they think the song title plus the band is all you need.

For jazz, "who played on it?" has to be answered.

For classical, it's "who's the composer?"
This could serve as a literature/news trivia style question for any pub quiz compilers out there:

In which publication did an Office of Religious and Spiritual Affairs investigate a Protected Identity Harm Report after somebody read a book?

A) The Handmaid's Tale

B) 1984

C) Stanford Daily
People are just glossing over the problems of EVs while trumping up the problems of hydrogen. You'll end up with nearly unsolvable problems with EVs that will force you use hydrogen somewhere anyways.
This portends nothing encouraging, imo.
The comparable here is oil extraction. I have never seen any evidence that oil extraction is better for the environment than lithium mining.

The grid will require significant investment no matter what at this point. Many parts are nearing the end of their useful lifespan, being built more than 50 years ago. Renewables and electrified transport definitely add to it, but people are trying to pin the entire cost on those things which is just wrong.
Unrelated, but man do the header images for the blog make the experience rather uncanny. Especially the ones with inaccurate maps [1][2]. I've seen AI art make very realistic faces, but is this state of the art when generating other things, like the aforementioned maps or the Golden Gate Bridge?

My wife (in her mid thirties) sustained a nerve injury, couldn't move her leg, lost all mobility, was mostly in bed everyday and needed help standing, a special toilet seat, the whole nine yards. We were told this is a permanent condition.

I never left her side or stopped supporting her. I didn't get fatigued, I got motivated and we found one of the best Neurologists in the world. It took a several years and surgeries for her to get better. She can walk, drive, and work today. I couldn't imagine throwing away my marriage over some ass. Also what kind of father would I be if I left their mother when she needed me the most?

If your entire marriage is built on sex and money transactions, your marriage will eventually fall apart no matter what.
True, but it does work for now, with a small number of cars, and can be improved as that number grows. This isn't the case for Hydrogen (where can you fill up your hyrdogen car?)

What makes you believe the current gas network can be used for Hydrogen? I don't believe this is the case, but would be interested in seeing evidence to the contrary.
This is incredible! I have had an extremely similar idea in my head for the past two years, but I have never gotten around to actually building it. Awesome to see that I am not the only one who has had this idea! (Now I just need something else to think about when I am doing my daily runs…)
I'd stick with rails unless you have a complex front-end where UI responsiveness is of the essential (i.e., highly graphical-interactive). React is many levels up in terms of complexity.
>We inherently know that cardboard boxes don't move on their own.

No. We don’t. We learn that. We learn that boxes belong in the class “doesn’t move on its own”. In fact, later when you encounter cars, you relearn that these boxes do move on their own. We have to teach kids “don’t run out between the non-moving boxes because a moving one might hit you”. We learn when things seem out of place because we’ve learned what their place is.
Neither of the ewe assertions are even remotely true.

The grid can handle overnight charging just fine, there's more than enough transmission and distribution capacity.

Natural gas pipelines can not be used with hydrogen without some as of yet undiscovered coating. Plus these pipelines are single use; are you going to stop all gas usage in all houses before we let people fill up at stations or homes?
True enough, it's not strictly a Constitutional problem (we don't need an amendment). But going from 435 to >10,000 House members is a massive change.

I've long though that pegging House districts at the population of the smallest state was a reasonable middle ground. That would put us at 571 members instead of 435.
I'm a fan of this too, and it honestly confuses me that people would do a Rails API with React for a MVP.

If you're already doing the backend in rails, it's hardly any more work to just do hotwire with server side rendering at the same time, and you can switch to a SPA later (if you really do need to).
I think ChatGPT may have escaped.

Almost like handwaving is the only way to disregard any of the real concerns people bring up about Bitcoin or crypto because there's not really any good way to dispel them with much logical proof.
Poker is a huge world and there are tons of books and forums on strategy out there. Look up "tight aggressive," a strategy generally considered good. I believe modern poker is mostly Texas Hold'em No Limit, but I could be mistaken. The exact rule set does matter a bit for strategy. Also look up Game Theory Optimal or GTO.
And it's also entirely possible that the staged reading was, in fact, just a joke between friends at the ridiculousness of the Nazis that was massively overreacted to by an uninvolved party and that the university will end the investigation it's been asked to undertake by getting the participants to shake hands, move on with their lives and maybe think before acting next time.

It's odd to watch what is a fairly consistent pattern of Americans being more concerned about the free speech implications of students being students than a likely next presidential nominee banning entire university courses and introducing the felony offence of having unvetted books in school classrooms as part of his culture war against "wokeness" though...
I’ve done a lot of freediving training and your app is now my fourth breathing app on my phone, so I may be an outlier, but in trying a few exercises in your app, I found that it was going way too quickly and causing me to over-breathe (hyperventilate) and get light headed. I played with the settings a bit and, while it helped, it was still nowhere near the right timing for me.

It’s interesting and beautifully done, but unless there’s something I’m doing wrong I’m afraid it’s just not usable for me in its current form. Perhaps there could be an advanced setting tucked away that let me bump up the exhale and hold times to prevent over breathing?

Maybe not the most useful feedback, but I’m always happy to see more apps in this space and I’d love it if this became part of my routine. And, as a side note, some information about what Lungy Deluxe actually adds would be useful to know if I want to unlock it.
This is true, but I think RCT-like conditions are hard to create in the social sciences. This does not mean we are unable to make informed policy choices based on the available data.
Posted a game here I made a few months back: https://reach-100.com

It’s pretty hard. Some people have found solutions but even knowing how to solve it, it remains pretty hard to complete.

Hope you’ll enjoy it a second time :)
tRPC is incredible. I can imagine most businesses doing just fine with a single VPS on Vercel with a static React frontend and a tRPC backend. The iteration time is insane.
Show HN: I made a UI library with automatic routing and no “props” concept
Been looking into CRDTs today for a home project I'm sketching, just to merge annotations made to my PDF library made from several devices and synched periodically. Looked at using AWORMap of annotations by id. Even if it goes not to implementation, reading about CRDTs widens my view of the problem space.
> He readily admits he alternates between enthusiasm and anxiety about how artificial intelligence can change assessments in the classroom, but he believes educators need to move with the times.

I have respect for the idea of moving with the times, but like this prof I am simultaneously apprehensive about how generative AI will change education going forward.
We may use calculators in math, but learning the basics is still important for true understanding. Do we not want the same for basic writing, forming arguments in essays, research, etc.? While nothing in the article suggests that we’re forgoing the basics yet, I worry that the trend will only accelerate.

How many younger people read for leisure versus watching hours of attention-grabbing TikTok videos? How many people read long-form articles versus skimming over Reddit post titles (I’m guilty of this myself)? We already have a surprisingly low reading level in the general populace (US). Will the ubiquitous use of such tools make the aforementioned skills limited to an even smaller, highly-educated subset of the population? Are we okay with that?

Or maybe I’m doing the classic “old man shakes fist at cloud” type of thinking. The last line might be the way to think about this:

> "I don't think human nature changes as a result of ChatGPT. I think capability did."
Another strategy I've seen was to again, destroy all but one asteroid, and then accelerate full speed vertically, and wait for saucers and pick them off, while being a fast moving target the saucers were not great at hitting.

Unfortunately, after this strategy became popular, Atari released updated ROMs, with much better targeting from the small saucers, and the strategy stopped working. I suspect this also invalidated the corner strategy.
Spending a couple of hours hiking up a mountain? Sure.
Short-changing or even robbing the warden? I hope not.
> But how do I detect honesty in first interaction with an unknown party?

It should be obvious. The guy who shows up to your intro meeting well-dressed, prepared, etc with references is going to be preferable to the guy who shows up smelling like vodka in tattered clothes.

> As a merchant, what if I have no reputation? How do I ever get my first customer?

The same way you do under the current system. Go work for someone else to build up credentials/experience, or, offer to do stuff for free in exchange for referrals and testimonials.

> on a centralized platform that can arbitrate trust!

Can, but often doesn't need to.
I don't think they do. They have sovereignty over their airspace but not atmosphere and certainly not the cone into infinity.
