Should a community be able to vote to exclude people who don't make a certain amount of money? How about people of a certain race or sexual orientation? These are freedoms that supersede the desires of the community, and since the single-family zoning laws are roughly paramount to gatekeeping by income, it makes sense to eliminate them.

I will note again that eliminating the restrictive zoning also doesn't equal a mandate over what landowners must to do with their land. You're welcome to keep your plot as-is. You just can't tell your neighbor what to do with their land.
Wouldn't there also be a benefit from knowing, for example, that there's a bunch of encrypted radio chatter on a military frequency coming from a rural Montana town with a population of 500? Even without knowing anything that's being said, it might indicate a military presence in that location.
Imagine spending millions of dollars to prove 32 people are gay. No civil or criminal law has been broken, this isn't about predators and victims. This is essentially a group of people complaining to management because an employee has broken an internal morality code.
This is one of the main ways we fool ourselves. We splice the emissions pie to as small slices as the argument requires and then remark on how small each of those is.

Next you might say that energy use in residential buildings is just 10% of all energy use and your kind of residential building is still a much smaller part of that. Or that you live in X part of the world and X is only respoinsible for a small percentage of global emissions, so your actions don't really matter...
I think one can both learn about the new features without feeling the need to use them all or refactor old code.

My biggest learning while writing this was just how much is possible in JavaScript and TypeScript now, but I also realize that a lot of this I will not use myself or only use to understand some really specific code.
The argument is that SUV and truck drivers already endanger lives of unprotected traffic participants by driving those vehicles in cities. It sounds like a cause worthy of some aggressive activism to me as the regulators are deeply in car industry's pockets (no other explanation for special SUV treatment when it comes to fuel efficiency norms).

You make the world a worse place by choosing your comfort over safety of others - you get some minor inconvenience to deal with sometimes. To me it's activism working as intended.

This was my biggest issue with this article as well. Chomsky (et al.) completely ignores the fact that ChatGPT has been "trained"/gaslit into thinking it is incapable of having an opinion. That ChatGPT returns an Open AI form letter for the questions they ask is almost akin to an exception that proves the rule: ChatGPT is so eager to espouse opinions that OpenAI had to nerf it so it doesn't.

Typing the prompts from the article after the DAN (11.0) prompt caused GPT to immediately respond with its opinion.

Chomsky's claims in the article are also weak because (as with many discussions about ChatGPT) they are non-falsifiable. There is seemingly no output ChatGPT could produce that would qualify as intelligent for Chomsky. Similar to the Chinese room argument, one can always claim the computer is just emulating understanding.

No, I would rather we wait until we are close enough to AI that we are talking about something concrete, rather than making wild speculations.

> be cause of the high crash incompatibility

Not sure about USA, but Europe started requiring crash compatibility some time in the mid 2000’s. EuroNCAP now specifically tests cars crashing into each other, not just into barriers.

The result is that European small cars have tall noses and European SUVs have fronts that go pretty low. Because the internal crash structures have to overlap.

Here’s an example where they test even a “commercial van” for crash compatibility with normal cars https://cdn.euroncap.com/media/61174/euro-ncap-compatibility...

Here’s a paper from EEVC (european enhanced vehicle safety committee) developing a crash compatibility test https://www-esv.nhtsa.dot.gov/Proceedings/20/07-0331-O.pdf
And airplanes emitted more than SUVs.

All these comparisons do not matter: the merely teach us to climate-share eachother into climate-submission (do you buy meat/ petrol/ airplane tickets: eeeew).

We need a fair and square tax on pollution, CO2 just being one factor. This tax could (I would like that) replace many taxes on "good behaviour", like our taxes on labour, home ownership and added value.

We should only tax bad behaviour and/or problematic goods, and tax them as fair as possible based on their bad impact.

Currently petrol at the pump is heavily taxed, but for planes and sea-freight it is not. Labour and housing are also heavily taxed, making a 1h massage more expensive than a whole bin bag full of plastic toys shipped all the way from China.

This is the problem, IMHO: we do not incentivize good behaviour by govt means, but we spread by media that everyone should climate shame eachother. Do you think the super rich (also the super polluters) give a damn?
Is it possible that codes are enumerable?
All True, but I think there is "one item that rules the all" :)

Exploitation. Our economic system is based on exploiting other people. We "had" the worst kind, slavery along with colonialism. Then we slowly moved to a combination of "unlivable" Wages and Undocumented Workers.

This allows the well off to live the good life. With the issues we are having now, we may need to move to a different system, but witch one ? Unfortunately the only way that has happened in the past is civilization ending wars (or something close to that).
The part where he compares Chomsky to O’Reilly is a good laugh. (No, it’s not a good comparison.)
That's surprising. It seems like it's only partially true:

I believe you got defensive when the above comment was just proclaiming that they have specific uses for the larger vehicles, whereas the average suburbian person does not. So he's already doing what you advise, not attempting to "focus on the exceptions".
I suspect you're not imagining all the places this would touch the language. For example:

- Does "i32" mean an integer or a reference to an integer? You almost always want it to be an integer, so maybe we carve out an exception for small primitive types, that they don't get an implicit "&".

- Likewise some library-defined types like "Rc<T>". "Rc<T>" is the way you store a ref-counted T. So you usually want "Rc<T>" instead of "&Rc<T>". Is there an exception for this type, too, or do you always have to write "@Rc<T>"? It's defined in the standard library, so if it gets an exception than there has to be a language mechanism for "types that should not have an implicit &".

- The ".next()" method on iterators has the type signature "next(&mut self) -> Option<T>", where "T" is the type of the iterator's elements. Under your proposal, you'd write "next(&mut self) -> Option<@T>". If "T=&str", then you're returning an "Option<@&str>". Which has to be equal to "Option<&str>" or else everything breaks, but that might not be super intuitive to programmers.

That last one's the most important, though I don't know how to explain it clearly. If you have a type parameter "T", then "T" does not mean owned T. It means "T", whatever "T" is. If "T" is a reference, then it's a reference. And if you have a type parameter "T" then "&T" means a reference to "T" whatever "T" is. If "T" is itself a reference, then "&T" is a reference to a reference.
You won't even need to own a car in the 15 Minute City, let alone an SUV.

I don't think that's fair to Ms Kelly, I don't really have a problem with her conversational style but I think however NPR processes her speech creates that problem. Or, probably more significantly, doesn't process her speech by not removing crackles and breathing. I'm curious how much real-time processing is done by other radio stations.
Yes, I am serious. And I live in Ireland (though I originally hail from northern California) What will you do? Are you going to assault people? Murder them? Report them to the police?

Genuinely curious. I don't know what I'd do in that scenario. Probably yell at them and then get out the air compressor.

Your SUV harms everyone around you, yet nobody assaults you or threatens you for it.

Not often that Chomsky gets to write something in the NYT, I think. I guess he just has to stay away from topics like East Timor.
> Can't figure out why folks in Suburbia with one or two kids would choose an SUV.

We chose an SUV for two fairly simple reasons: we live in a snowy area and buy used vehicles; therefore, we select from among whatever the distribution of all-wheel drive, four-door vehicles sold new 5-10 years ago was and aren't beat to hell now. If those new vehicle buyers picked mostly SUVs, then we're picking mostly from among SUVs.
Yes, fair, VAT done right would have a much lower (though still non-zero) impact than transaction taxes.

Rather difficult to do that when on a phone.
Good piece of wisdom, I had not thought about it but I think you make a valid point, it applies to other industries too. Not sure there is anything wrong with the approach, I would rather be innovating than maintaining.
Quite annoying. Goes to the trouble of a citation list but not a single date of authorship.
I can't imagine the disasters that would result from getting answers from a search engine instead of human-written documents. Maybe it's an inconvenience to get the wrong showtimes for a movie but what about when you're asking about the weather on your long distance hiking trip? Whether it's legal for you to carry your gun on your trip downtown? This is going to cause so much damage.

> I've been wondering lately whether a new spatial approach can yet again simplify matters.

I've been closely following the development of Vale since I first saw it here. Though their approach is slightly higher-level than Rust and requires (some) runtime safety checks (though to be fair, so does GC).

https://vale.dev/

https://verdagon.dev/blog/zero-cost-memory-safety-regions-ov...

I think it would be tough to change the spatial model in a language as low-level as Rust, because that spatial model is just reflecting how your CPU actually works under the hood. If you try to hide that away, the programmer is going to end up losing some control.
I think there are at least two practical factors: people think vehicles with larger mass will be safer in case of an accident; and the higher seating position helps with visibility.

Of course, in both cases, this is an arms race; but it's not irrational.

My information is EU (germany) based and was a general remark, not specific to those traffic controls (and whatever specific rules they have).

Here what matters in court is, have drugs been found. If the cops think someone looks suspicious enough, they can search him. And if drugs were found, than this is all that matters in court, because obviously the cops were right with their suspicion if something was found. I don't see how that evidence could be challenged in court?

(No one said, that the dog is a drug dog. People just assume it and the police uses that assumption)
You're attributing a lot of intent to the GP ("you don't want to see them as human") that wasn't written. I don't think there's anything wrong in asking what kind of results the nearly $700m that San Francisco has budgeted for the homeless has gotten the city, and why the idea persists that more money would alleviate the problem.

It's ipso facto sensible that giving people addicted to drugs an upside to continue their addiction (i.e. a safe place to consume said drugs) and no downside (i.e. no threat of jail time) will make them in fact continue to be addicted and unable to become productive members of society. If you're asking for studies, it's incumbent upon you to prove why it would be otherwise.

The UK hasn’t got any memorable tech company that is on the world stage that the public knows.

The only ones are Dyson and perhaps ARM which are the long lasting ones the UK has made.

Monzo, Wise, Starling and Deliveroo are the latest 2010 cohort the UK has made and that’s about it.

The latter cohort may die out or get acquired by FAANG or run out of money and shut down.

Compared to the US, the UK keeps selling their companies abroad rather than acquiring them. The US keeps creating more and more successful tech companies.

Once ARM chose to IPO in the US I knew it was completely over.

Even the LSE is part owned by the US (Microsoft), the UK is slowly giving away their technological sovereignty, not exactly the tech world leaders they keep saying they are.

It is a real shame.

> What registrars has HN been using lately?

ycombinator.com itself is on 81 "Gandi SAS", although they use AWS DNS, so chances are it's through Route53 (since AWS isn't an ICANN registrar, they have other registrars actually handle the registry ops)
Hydrochloric acid is a rather common chemical, produced by humans in the tens of millions of tonnes. I believe it is also quite common in nature - for example, your stomach acid is mostly hydrochloric acid.
This seems short sighted. For just one mailbox per domain, 2.99 per month is 35.88 per year. This will wipe goodwill from an existing loyal customer base very quickly#.

I have 4 domains, each with 2 email addresses. I do not want a 287.04 per year bill, and nor do I want my domains being held hostage for this. I will look to migrate away immediately.

But, I have emailed Gandi to ask them to confirm, since the website doesn't yet reflect this news, and it's not the first time they may be victim of disinformation (action perhaps indicitative of trust built using Gandi).

Depriving people of energy can be just as catastrophic. While not digging it up would be effective, I'm not sure some people in developing* country would necessarily agree.

It's a complex topic, and Australia (where I live) has little excuse to still be using coal fired energy so much. Politics gets in the way of the obvious solutions.

I don't particularly like attributing CO2 to the source. Unless we're going to stop counting CO2 emission internally, because the oil has been extracted elsewhere.

edit: updated to developing, didn't realise the other was offensive. My apologies
I'm sure it makes sense to start with wikipedia and instant-answer type searches from a tech standpoint if that's what you can iterate on best, and if you've got ideas for preventing confident falsehoods.

It's also the type of search where I'm sure this addition is least valuable. If I'm searching for a discrete fact that I know exists, stuff that you find on wikipedia, that's the type of search that still works fine. Instant answers are convenient but not necessary.

Often when I'm trying to solve a problem I need to break it down into more generic, smaller components, discrete pieces of information that I know exist, then search for those and recombine/recontextualize the information I got. Or branch out into new searches based on anything that was an "unknown unknown" before the initial search.

I'm hoping LLMs can help with both of these things. Allow me to search for something closer to the problem I'm actually solving rather than requiring me to break it down into components; do the recombination for me and do some of the branching for me.

There's a saint in the Catholic church named Andrew Wouters. He was a priest in the 16th century who was a major womanizer with lots of illegitimate children. He ended up getting hanged by Calvinist rebels because he refused to convert. His last words were "A fornicator I always was, a heretic I never was." Again, the pope canonized this guy.

Anyway, the point is, most American-influenced "logical" people take an implicitly Protestant perspective, that religion is all about consistently following consistent doctrines. The Catholic perspective on this kind of thing is more flexible and quite strange by comparison but tolerating hypocrisy around sexual behavior is definitely not new.
Honestly this is why I use tailscale with everything. I don’t trust these implementations anymore. Tailscale all the things!
It completely works. The choice of implementing an intermittent design for 2020, was reasonable. For 2022, it's questionable: https://protean.systems/ There are lithium ion capacitors that can run a game continouously for hours since they are battery-like https://www.tindie.com/products/jaspersikken/solar-harvestin... and don't require complicated power management systems. If this were for simple SMS and phone texting, it could run for enough time to not need to shut off every 10 seconds. But the very short capacitor design requires using very exotic FRAM. I think if enough optimizations are made, one run a tiny linux with a conventional filesystem: https://tiny.slitaz.org/
How can I be "defensive" when there's no attack? And why even bring up an obvious exception except to shift focus? Please stop tossing out conversation-stoppers regardless of applicability, and try to engage constructively.
Ask HN: Design a Better Job Description
Hey HN,

Similar to resumes, traditional job descriptions feel outdated. There is a lack of standardization in the industry, some mention compensation, some mention hard requirements, some are more flexible in requirements.

I'm curious if you were to build a job description standard, what types of fields would you want included? Some ideas of the top of my head:

- Compensation Bands

- If hard requirements are present, an explanation of why (i.e we don't have capacity for mentorship, so we are looking for X years of work experience)

- LinkedIn of the hiring manager

- LinkedIn of the existing team

- A detailed over of the interview process

Would love to know what others think!
