I'm a vehicular cyclist too. "that's not your problem" is technically true but not helpful. Being able to maintain your speed uphill and avoid being overtaken is helpful.

"Just take a longer route" Sure I'll take a side street when possible to avoid a main street, but often there's no reasonable alternative to a street with cars going fast.

The things you're suggesting for bikes work on ebikes just as well. You're fit, and have the confidence that years of experience brought.

"Take the lane" is good advice but you must not be around other vehicles if you don't have cars making close passes. It makes you more visible and most drivers fully change lanes to pass but I still find drivers who won't. They'll take the edge of my lane and pass close. Being able to maintain speed can mean fewer overtakings.

It takes a lot of confidence to be a vehicular cyclist. Ebikes boost the rider's power and confidence.
My wife couldn't get along with Linux, but I'm trying to get her to at least get an Apple computer next time. At least Apple is a half-decade behind the other companies that are shoving ad-filled crapware into their OSes (MS, Google) and hopefully by the time iOS/OSX are merged and start getting ads and stuff in them and disallowing you from installing unapproved binaries, I can have trained her to use a Linux-like software and then move her onto Linux and never have to deal with that shit again. My son will use nothing but Linux on his computers once he's older.
Almost all of the new ones are like that. Go look around Phoenix. And they look "nice" for a brief period. Just wait until the legacy costs catch up with them. If you go look at the older master-planned communities in far-flung suburbs, they look as bad if not worse than any urban blight.

I was about to rant about the documentation, but I just checked and it seems to have improved a lot.
Definitely, it is inspiring to see so many fantastic initiatives popping up. I am emailing you.
I said earlier that it's 99%, but it's more like a disclaimer because if I said 100%, someone is surely gonna reply "look here, I did this and you lied so it's not 100%!". I've used the suffix for code examples for ~2 weeks now and never had it fail, personally.
Good for them! If you've been following their Twitter and Discord, their speed has been remarkable

Not often, and I like it that way. I enjoy being around people who are demonstrably better in some dimension. It's a great way to learn something new all the time.
I agree with you. As I said, it's not too late yet for it to make sense to break ground, but we love hugging deadlines it seems...

>"I think the better question is why people go still along with it and keep using Windows."

I've been using Windows for almost 30 years now, and while I've given different distros of Linux and MacOS an honest try, I am never as comfortable or as fluent with them as I am with Windows. I know there is an extensive amount of customization that can be done with Linux to get it really close but it just isn't the same.

I'm also at the level where I am comfortable enough with gpedit and regedit that as long as there is a way to turn most of the annoying and onerous "features" off, I can keep on truckin'. For instance, disabling Cortana in the start menu.
LLMs are in the business of finding the best next token to continue the conversation in a way that models human text. That’s why it’s often likened to autocomplete.

LLMs can compete with humans to the extent human tasks can be represented as a series of tokens. They can’t, by default (I think Bing and Bard can) visit a link and read it, which is why they hallucinate up reasonable looking links. They do know things insofar as it helps them find a good next token, and those things will tend be more generalized knowledge rather than specific facts and figures. I bet if you described a list of symptoms it would be pretty good at suggesting possible diagnoses, if you gave it the results of a blood test as a table it would try to say something reasonable but not know what to do.
Yup, you read all sorts of stuff about kids graduating college at 18, etc.
I'd imagine the further back you go, the higher the variance between best/worst education level in a given age cohort.. so school officials would just promote kids up a few grades if they were too smart.

I'm assuming by "deps" you really meant "devs", and if so, I'd have to agree. I worked in the investment banking world for some years in a back office IT role and there were mini armies of devs there doing the most mundane, basic CRUD style work for years on end getting paid cushy 6-fig salaries. Not FAANG level, but solid nonetheless.

I would not at all be surprised if these large firms hired consultants from places like McKinsey to come by and analyze the work their IT staff is involved in to see how tools like GPT-4 could be leveraged to "streamline" (aka reduce the headcount of) these orgs, and then dramatically restructured them based on their findings. The only thing keeping many of these folks around is the political clout of their managers and department heads.

States have more power, the variable differences between rural and urban offer a much clearer picture of what's actually happening beyond the population differences.

So I disagree with your framing, it's fair to focus on states here.
I am suggesting that most people either do not drink the coffee immediately, instead relying on it to be just right by the time they get to home or work (most business at a McDonald's happens in the drive through), or they load it with chilled cream, which will decrease its temperature but not low enough to be objectionable, which it would noticeably be were the holding temperatures meaningfully decreased to the point where Stella would not have received third-degree burns.

Again: it should tell you something that they were not required to, nor did they, lower their holding temperature as a result of this.

I really really liked https://reflect.app but needing an internet connection to access my notes is a miss for me. I don't need an app but I need something offline and locked down. I managed to replicate the experience of Reflect with Obsidian and several plugins such as a calendar, meetings and their canvas feature. I also don't even pay for syncing, I encrypt the vault (also a plugin) and keep the files in GDrive that I use and sync across devices.

I like this but would not pay for another note, bookmark, todo or markdown/rich text editor app service. Also arguably true to hn fashion someone could roll this or get very close as an obsidian or other widely used tool plugin in short time.

I also just checked reflect's page and they added a gpt4 prompt feature a couple weeks ago and you get all this for $10/mo. https://reflect.app/changelog
Complete with fake testimonials. I'll be downvoted for this, but that product is borderline unethical.
The salary I get now (working remotely) allows me to work for 3 months and relax for 9, should I desire to do so. I guess if someone offered me 9X more for working in the office, I would agree - but I'd quit after 3 months to enjoy my freedom for the next 3 years. (Or, what is more probable, take a less paid but remote job as I enjoy doing what I do and want to stay competitive in the market.)

Less than that - sorry, I'm not interested.
Is this an actual problem that needs solving?
Houston sucked for bike infrastructure.

It is INSANE. These places are made for year-round biking. In Houston, you have the state legislature forbidding mass transit funding for Houston and tons of other sharply own-the-libs political grandstanding that has real impacts to the cities in Texas.

I've worked in Minneapolis which is a dream for biking... in the summer. I've visited Washington DC and its bikeshare program was perfect for seeing all the sights distributed around the city, and showed what ebikes and good urban infrastructure can do for city livability. Bikes shrink a city by a factor of 5 for doing anything.

Every city should be falling over themselves, ESPECIALLY with the covid-fuelled distributed work culture, to do this because it makes cities FAR BETTER than living in rural or suburban areas. It will increase property values, people living in the cities, increase exchange of goods and services.

The writing is on the wall for the ICE, the oil companies, and even the republicans in Texas. Hopefully the writing isn't on the wall for the human race in the process.
Wow, Chapman is still around? I thought it collapsed during the for-profit colleges scandal.
Are you sure? The majority of blue collar jobs still see it that way where I live.

As an engineer we tend more to status symbol, but we are a minority.
That's a good point. If your team has an 0.1x engineer, you'll still get to your goal eventually. If you have a -1x engineer, you might be going in the wrong direction to ever finish your project.

Note, I said "almost no monetary investment."

I did things like buy a domain name, pay for cheap web hosting, etc. I was already knew the basics of coding, and some understanding of marketing. My biggest investment was a $97 eBook about marketing. I found one idea in that book that I used to do some successful SEO. This was circa 2003, when SEO was pretty much as easy as picking fruit from a tree, if you knew the right things. Anyways, that's how I got things launched. I also bought and read quite a few business books, which certainly weren't free.

This type of investment was very do-able for most middle class kids. Many of whom, at the time, could afford their own home built computers.

Also -- what I started with is very much not where I ended up, though there is certainly some relationship to it. For example, SEO is still an important part of the business, but the SEO strategy is much more about human relationships and service, than it was about "gaming the system," which was my perspective as a 21 year old.
Delayed justice is still a disincentive to future people who might try the same tricks. QED.

It does, though. It objectively matters in terms of actual, predictable outcomes. Yeah it sucks. Deal with it. Despair won't make it better.
Full text 1A:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

There's nothing in there about foreign entities or any other authors of speech. It's about speech (and religion and assembly and petition) itself, which the state is directed to leave the fuck alone. The variety of zany things any particular entity might want to say is not even the main point. Freedom of speech is important because it means we get to hear and read and experience speech from everyone and everywhere. As soon as a line is drawn around speakers we're not allowed to hear, we no longer have the freedom of speech. Many people are confused about this because they habitually speak without listening. Those of us who mostly listen are not confused in this manner.
I'm not expecting anyone to turn getfoobar into getf_oobar, no. But (1) there are cases where people might disagree about whether something is one word or two (do you want to bet no one has written "white_space" where you wrote "whitespace"?) and (2) there are weird cases where the same string of letters can be split into words (or sufficiently word-like pieces) in multiple ways.

I don't have a plausible example of #2 in mind. Maybe there aren't any. (There are definitely lots of things that break into words in multiple ways, of course, but maybe there aren't any that make plausible identifier names more than one way. Though for what it's worth I bet there are.) And in any given case you can check, given a few seconds' thought, that there aren't other possibilities. But that little extra cognitive load is a bigger deal than it sounds like -- it's a distraction from other things -- and if you don't do the check then you'll never know whether your search operation actually found everything it should have.

So you can check by eye every time. Or you can write the ugly regexp every time. Or you can just accept that what ought to be a perfectly simple operation isn't quite right and might invisibly go wrong some time.

That's not a set of options I like.
This seems like a highly dysfunctional state of affairs. Maybe I've never worked at an organization big enough to suffer from this kind of thing.
Parcel lockers are a very interesting concept. It's generally something quite straightforward - something that stores items for your at a location (and you get an email / SMS notification + can open it via code, or app).
The idea probably was invented in many places, but I think Germany had them first. They are incredibly popular in Poland, because they are very reliable. Towns are full of them and in last years, basically even the smaller villages get them.

This all happens at the expense of couriers (who are more expensive) and 'regular' post (who is run by the state and sadly was quite unreliable. In fact it was so unreliable, that they bought a private company just to handle the packages. The bought company called POCZTEX is now very reliable, but 'regular' post used to send mail lost a ton of market share).

I wonder if Amazon copied the idea from Allegro, or possibly German post, or perhaps Korea (who also has them I think?).

Now Poland is a place of an interesting battle, where Inpost parcel lockers have most of the market share and locations, but multiple other service providers (Polish post, Allegro, Amazon, Aliexpress) try to build their own networks.
There are of course also multiple courier companies.
Normal post office is becoming more and more unprofitable - despite good locations. They deal with the low margin letters. The parcel market has much better margins (even despite being cutthroat).

thank you for answering my question of how you know a condition that you are familiar with from your country holds sway the world over.

So anyway, in Denmark this is the standard https://www.hunderegister.dk/home dogs are tracked pretty well here.

A human born 100 years ago would have been born in 1923, I'm pretty sure the records keeping of dogs in Denmark since 1993 (when the register was established) is better than a lot of humans 100 years ago.

But sure, many of the dogs we had in the U.S nobody knew what age they really were. I am however unconvinced that just because nobody knows what ages dogs are in one region that nobody anywhere knows what ages dogs are.

There is another factor about the age of dogs that pertains as well which is that basically the oldest dog anyone knows is definitely knowable all of someones life, of multiple people's lives in the same region actually.

Obviously nobody knows what age a dog is if adopted when grown but I wouldn't be saying the dog is 23 years old if I've only known it for 20 years, I would say it is at least 20 years old because that's how long I've known it. In this I can't help but feel I'm much like most people.
No I didn’t mean the output was stilted, more so that there was only so much reach Alexa/Siri/etc have, so when ever the UI was trying to get you to use it, the best UX any of them came up with was

You can ask things like:
What was the score last night?
How tall is the Eiffel Tower?
Turn off the lights.
(Etc)

I personally think that’s a pretty opaque way of showing what a device/application can do.

Now that they can do MUCH more, these weird data borders get more invisible but still exist. How do you outline “this is what this AI can do” to users? In contrast to traditional UI with buttons and links that make the options comparatively more obvious. You can see all the options in front of you.
So you lose precision and control?
The value to microsoft is in the marketing around a premier training company using their hardware... their actual hardware in this case is a bespoke supercomputer, but performance watchers like me are paying attention.

If any developers from Walmart happen to read this, the search on the purchase history page (https://www.walmart.com/orders) is broken, and has been broken for months now.

It is broken both on the web and in the Walmart app. I've reported this via the website feedback form several times. It briefly started working again after the first time I reported it, then broke again.

For example, if I search for "ham", it shows two orders, one from May 2020 and one from Nov 2020. But I've bought ham before May 2020, after Nov 2020, and between those two months.

It looks like the problem is that it is only looking at orders that are classified as "Delivery from store" or "Curbside pickup" orders. The aforementioned two orders are my only orders of that kind.

All my others are "store" orders, where I gathered the items myself and then paid at self-checkout using the Walmart app, either scanning at the register and then using Walmart Pay or scanning as I shopped with Scan and Go and then using Scan and Go's checkout procedure.

"Store" orders show up in the purchase history just fine. I can see them all there, and can view the details to see what items were included. It's just search that can no longer see them.
You're 100% right about this. The Chinese Room argument has been largely debunked, and you just proved one reason why.
I find that it's great for keeping track of my D&D campaigns. It has a lot of features that make it great for managing that small group of people. I also co-manage a WoW guild with it. Roster, todo's etc. Great for a small number of collaborators.

I don't really produce documents with it. That does seem annoying with all of the blocks. I just use Google Docs for that use case. I find Notion to be something like Evernote with Airtable dropped right in. I don't think I would use it to replace Confluence or whatever. But as a way to share my Org-mode oriented brain with other folks, it works nicely.
People shouldn't be able to label their own bugs/features' severity or importance. They should be able to label it with severity or importance to them, and the team responsible should be allowed to triage accordingly.
Cloud storage is a de-facto backup for 95% of computer users. Most of them have a versioning system or time-travel system to see old versions for a few weeks or a year. I used OneDrive for a while and they also have a nice system for detecting encryption malware, and will notify you if it detects that a ton of regular files were deleted and then a bunch of new encrypted files were added. It's not the worst service in the world, and it does act as an effective backup for most cases for most users, especially considering that it takes no time at all to setup. A super reliable backup system is a hard thing to keep up with for most people, and you can't usually just set it and forget it like you can with cloud storage.
I share their sentiment completely. I've had so many conversations that end up fizzling out because the coworkers I'm around don't share the same depth of knowledge in many of the topics they wish to discuss, which just becomes frustrating because it devolves into a pissing contest of "But where did you get that information from? Are they biased? Has it been well-tested?" and so on and so on, but then it just ends there. No follow up, no learning, no shared struggle for the truth of something or for verification. They have their "bibles" that they trust, and outside that it seems like a mountain climb just to get to a point where they're willing to accept new information about something they're already decided on.

To make matters worse, the topics will be of any sort of topic, even those where there's really no more room to argue about the truths of the subject (or even the concept of "truth", which was especially exhausting if they reject the idea of propaganda). Yet they only ever fall back to their bibles and continue to make the same mistakes and never really get better as developers, and in some cases, as people.

Now I do have to agree a bit with it sounding like a big ego problem, but you never want to actually be the smartest person in the room either. You have nothing to gain from it except an ego boost while everyone else gains from your knowledge and expands themselves. Ideally, you want to be somewhere in the middle, that way you have knowledge to give, but also room to grow and challenge yourself to achieve the level of those above you.

My favorite job was when I was surrounded by coworkers that had expansive knowledge in areas I knew nothing about, as they had a lot of great insight to share and resources they would suggest to me so I wouldn't have to rely on them.
I don't recall why or how, but the A-B channel is of lower bandwidth, or otherwise more likely to drop out. Hence when you're starting to lose FM, you may find it dropping to mono.
Thanks, the explanation of jokes was very interesting, although both GPTs made the wrong interpretation of the goat/toga party joke. The joke is that the speaker thought it was a "goat party", not a "toga party" (rather than that they dressed as a goat in a toga party).

Similarly for the intelligence joke; the joke there is that the speaker can only get an unintelligent girl, rather than that he seeks an unintelligent girl.

I was more impressed by the glove and ball interpretation, to be honest.
