So those are much smaller tunnels than usually used for both trains and cars as far as I understand. How are the fire safety issues handled here? Large tunnels usually have a smaller escape tunnel at the side. That doesn't seem to be the case here.

Do regulations that mandate escape routes in tunnels not exist in the US? Or are these tunnels different enough that they don't apply? Or do they have safety measures that are not visible on the images here?

>the government is incapable of building websites

And, at the local (say town) level that's probably true. So what happens is they farm it out to an existing service for "free" and the service tacks on a fee. As a result, I either write a physical check or have my bank do so for town fees because if I paid directly online I'd pay a surcharge.

Productivity out of any framework will be driven by your familiarity with it. They all have their warts and rough edges that will take hours to fix and workaround.

Learning a new framework has value in future projects. Definitely not for the product you plan to ship next.

I can't see any strong reasons performance or otherwise to abandon one modern framework (PHP, Node, Python, Ruby, Java, C#) for any other. Difference in cost is again minimal.

The best option is the one you know best already. Learning a new one always helps you grow.
Kind of a stretch to equate Musk with contemporary Silicon Valley? It's not like people talking about it ever left the scene anywhere, just that government action ceased. Tucker Carlson's been way more active in warning about encroachments by the inferior, if you're into that sort of thing. And of the four mentioned (Musk, Shockley, Jordan, Bostrom), Bostrom's at Oxford, which isn't part of California, and Shockley and Jordan are quite deceased and inactive.

I doubt any return is more prominent in Silicon Valley or tech in general than it is anywhere else.
I've wanted to build a bulb from scratch that contains, let's say, 32 LEDs such that when they're all on you get the full light intensity you were after.

But then dimming is then bucketed to 32 discreet steps where we enable anywhere from 1 to all 32 LEDs for the different levels.

No flicker, and perhaps at a single LED you get that very low-level dimming.

In this scenario they would quite likely grant Palantir-GOV an exception to do whatever was necessary to give them a leg up no matter how indiscriminate or discriminating it were, but also stipulate that this is not to be shared with other nation states, except those the GOV okays.

As far as I'm aware, not only do they exist, they are more stringent than in Europe generally.

Strange article. The first few paragraphs are written as if we haven’t raised the debt ceiling repeatedly. The latter graphs show debt as a % of GDP as a negative number… so the chart shows lines going down to mean debt will comprise a larger portion of GDP.
Truly disgusting to allow an under-13 to talk to an unapproved friend.

Companies were never meant to have incentives to provide products to such people and not their guardians. There is a reason we make it illegal for that underclass to own or earn capital, and the ability for companies to circumvent this and provide services anyway through indirect revenue is unpalatable. Cutting that off is necessary, as any good-thinking small-person-owner will know.

It's a slippery slope we have to cut down on now, lest small people start expecting to go outside without parental overseers or questioning their owners' authority.

It's kind of unimaginably worse... PRT has basically always assumed automation, with practical PRTs having very few implementation differences from AGT. But the Boring solution is manually operated, so it's going to have all the downsides of PRT (really more since the boarding time is worse) with the extra operating expense of paying an operator for each vehicle.

I wonder if it would be possible to fit a commercial AGT like Mitsubishi Crystal Mover into the Boring tunnels. They're wide enough I think but I don't know if the height clearance is sufficient. And of course AGTs are always constructed with a fire egress walkway which wouldn't fit, but Boring seems to have already accepted that significant safety limitation.

tl;dr, the federal government is spending beyond its means and needs to either cut spending, increase taxes, or both.

> How to avoid this sorry fate? The economic prescription is straightforward; the politics of delivering it are anything but. Even before the interest-rate shock, it was easy to anticipate that deficits would increase over time. The biggest share of federal spending is mandatory expenditures on social security, health insurance and the like, which are prescribed by laws and not subject to the vagaries of the annual budget-setting process. Already big, they will bulge as the population ages. Annual spending on income support for the elderly will be as much as all spending on education, the environment, national defence, science and transportation by 2033.

> The government estimates that trust funds which help bankroll both social security and health programmes will be insolvent by the early 2030s. At that moment America would face a basic choice between slashing benefits and raising taxes. A similar calculation will apply to all other aspects of the federal budget: some combination of reducing expenditures and raising revenues is the only way to prevent a crippling rise in the federal deficit.
You don't need evidence to understand something, and most importantly, I don't need to prove to you or anyone else that I have studied alchemy to understand that is a thing that most people don't really understand.

agree with your assessment - this is still a competition, perhaps less for ideas, more for 'narrative dominance'. US state controlled media has an extraordinary advantage in this area, I see no reason why it should require a platforms additional support to win this contest. It's like prime Mike Tyson needing the referee to hobble the guy in the other corner - totally unncessary!
I am not that against most of these. However, I don't think I ever will be for using 'auto' in C. Good C is about being extremely clear about what you want to happen at every step.

And I try to not use the "then C is not for you" line very often - I promise.

My biggest gripe is the unserious development of their iOS app, which has really been a hurdle to get them setup correctly.

The app underwent a rebuild maybe 18 month ago, which forced users to allow for phone Widgets to ONLY be created via the Apple Shortcuts app. Shortcuts, to be clear, is a great app on the iPhone, but this introduces an extra step, requiring you to ALSO create the correct Scenes for your particular Rooms, with particular Lights, FIRST, ensure they're named / setup in a clear manner, THEN add them to Shortcuts, THEN create a Shortcuts, and export, add to your homescreen. The previous method, was Hue app itself was a Widget, independent of a second app.

It honestly boggles the mind the Philips team went in this direction and speaks to how little user feedback they did. It has deliberately made using their product harder, and make life a little easier. It no joke took an entire day to get like 6 scenes setup properly.

I know there are 3rd party apps that quickly solve this. But such a basic feature like "Make a button on my homescreen I can tap to instantly turn on/off all the lights in my home" a chore is ludicrous. I thought IoT was supposed to make life easier.
No it doesn't, and the Economist, as an iconic neoliberal publication, has been saying the same thing since I was a kid and Carter was president.

Nobody cares. The whole thing was a scam, it never actually mattered that much and the entire argument about government debt has basically just been an organized effort to have a reason for the government not to help people.

The debt ceiling is complete bullshit, a totally manufactured crisis that doesn't even make sense on paper. They only reason it's happening at all is because the right-wing Democrats thought that instead of just killing it when it was easy to do, they'd use it as an excuse to cut social programs by pretending it had to happen to compromise with Republicans. Then that clever idea fell apart.

But it still doesn't matter. It has never mattered.
I think that’s what they’re saying.
I use Spectrum for home internet and they ran a deal for a while where you could as like 15 streaming channels for $15. It wasn't a bad deal to get a few channels for live sports + local news. Eventually, they started adding in more in "fees" for the TV package than the TV package itself costs.

There's no way to cancel online, so I had to call in. I have to give my name and contact information to at least 3 people and wait on hold in between each time I'm passed between different departments / levels of support. By the time I get the person on the phone who can actually cancel my TV service, I've been on the phone for 30 minutes. That's when she told me "you still have 20 days left on this month's plan, if you cancel today, you'll lose access immediately or you can call us back in 20 days to cancel and still enjoy the service".

I'd never heard that one before. I'd assume I'd either 1) get a pro-rated refund if access is cut off today or 2) get access for the time I've already paid for. At that point, it wasn't worth squabbling over $15 or 20 days of access, so I just canceled.
I've seen interleaved lexing and parsing, where the recursive descent parser asks for the next token, which is computed on demand.

They're still separate modules. You just don't have to run lexing to completion ahead of time (and as a consequence, it's natural to let lexing be context-sensitive where needed).

There are definitely multiple viewpoints on "anonymous trolls." I don't understand how allowing anonymity fails to address all of them.

- the EU GDPR effectively demands that services can be used anonymously, and so did the old §13 TMG law in Germany.

This allows anonymity.

- service providers (Facebook most infamously) try to skirt these laws because they sell "authenticity" of users as part of their product appeal, and others to combat spam

Consumers/users are not forced to use these products... as with any other product, they are forced to balance the commercial offerings' pros and cons. If they value anonymity highly, they may choose to not partake.

- the people demand the ability to post on the Internet without having to reveal their identity - say, in customer or employer review sites, or when unionizing or protesting against the government

This allows anonymity.

- Employers and brands do not want anonymous reviews due to the libel potential

They can decide (or not) to require anonymity for their offering, with attendant effects on engagement and community trust.

- people wish to watch porn or sext anonymously, because of the risk that a link between their porn habits and identity poses - the best example here is the prosecution of gays via Grindr

This allows anonymity.

- governments do not like anonymous commenting either, partially because they're oppressive, and partially because of the potential for hostile acts by enemy nations such as the Russian and Chinese "fake news" campaigns

It seems that oppression is bad, so without a compelling reason, anonymity should be allowed. "Fake news": adults should be allowed to believe in or be exposed to the information of their choice.. particularly because no one can be trusted to be the arbiter of "fake."

I have zero interest in this, and would not pay.

It is not a bad idea, but the problem with this is that social media is not a requirement in my life. Some people enjoy it, so you will probably find a market, but many people simply have lost interest in the entire concept of social media, and I am in that group.

You are on track to be asking about the interest level is in this, and I'd be sure to ask this question to a wide variety of demographics to understand exactly how much market potential really exists.
I'd argue that precisely the converse is true: A book contains intelligence (as do all things), but it cannot actively communicate it.

Maybe the intelligence/knowledge debate needs to be had, where:

1. intelligence implies the autonomy to act on knowledge

2. knowledge is the derivative of intelligent action

So you could argue ChatGPT is AGK: artificially generally knowledgeable. And then of course we can restrict books to being "knowledgeable" entities rather than overloading the term "intelligence".
Fair enough. I do hope it successfully sold the seriousness of the issue to our more emotionally driven readership.
True. But the actual meaning of "terrorist" doesn't count for much these days. Like "heathen", "witch", "Jew", "Nazi", etc. in earlier eras, "terrorist" is mostly a "maximal pejorative" - used to label people who don't get "until proven guilty" legal rights, nor human rights, and who it is socially sanctioned for ~anyone to hate, torture, murder, etc.

I had wondered about why the split is useful, and this article has answered the question to some degree. The general idea seems to be "it's easier to split it" and "you help reduce ambiguity in the parser by taking care of that in the lexer".

To those knowledgeable in lexing and parsing, I pose a question: How do you determine what should be part of the lexing phase and what should be part of the parsing phase? Do you choose arbitrarily and move things from one phase to another if it's simpler one way or another? Or is there a better way?
I agree -- I don't think the UA string should exist. But it does, so the next best thing is having everyone send the same string.
