> You buy vehicles for the life and city you have [...]

Agreed, there's a place for all forms of transit. I think the argument that the parent commenter was making was that we already have the density in many places for vehicles of this type make sense for residents, but the barrier is that road infrastructure is built to prioritize larger vehicles, making these vehicles unsafe.

In places where safe infrastructure exists, families frequently plan their lives differently, and I know many (with the means to choose freely) who get by with carshare, good transit, cargo bikes, etc...
Well they have them now, from regulators to critics and everyone in between.
And changing the way the user interacts with the system in every release is good, isn't it ?
If we're using this page as an example, they could have fit the entire navigation menu at the top of the page just fine. If it's pointless even at this small scale, what good is this going to do implementing on larger platforms like Amazon?

I agree with the "stop resorting to hamburger menus so fast" take however.
For some categories of applications, or even components of applications, the inability to meet a deadline in handling an event is a safety violation in the category of "or else people could die". I mentioned the halting problem instead since it's close enough to those requirements for an HN comment.

Rust has nothing special to say about that definition of safety, except that it thinks it has a better model for avoiding certain kinds of memory bugs that could contribute to those issues. Given that, I can see that "safe language" as a concept can be confusing and even leave engineers a little unprepared for unexpected categories of bugs.

Anyway, I brought up the halting problem to illustrate. I'm sure there are other illustrations you can substitute regardless of your opinion on the halting problem.
Nope, not all. Yahoo homepage, News, Entertainment, Weather all use this architecture. Yahoo Mail uses a React/Reduct architecture on the client. Other Yahoo properties with more complex client-side UX requirements are using things like Svelte or React. It's not a one size fits all architecture at Yahoo, we let teams determine the right tools for the job.
It's too early to say it hasn't worked out. Apple is planned to reveal their headset this year. If thats the case, VR/AR may become the norm the same way Smart Phones and Smart Watches are.

If you don't think Meta will release Horizon on Apple's headset, then you havn't been watching.
Did we ever find out how soon that bet was supposed to pay off? I'm sure there were people talking about OpenAI's decision to double down on LLMs as a failure before ChatGPT came out.
Amazing what understanding this simple concept can do for your platform
If you can't intellectually critique Ted Kaczynski's philosophy (or Adolf Hitler's philosophy) without critiquing the person, then you don't really have a critique in the first place. FWIW, I think both philosophies are deeply flawed AND that the actions each individual took were horrific, but a critique of their actions is not necessary to critique their ideologies; the ideologies themselves are deeply flawed in and of themselves.

To GP's point, the idea of technology evolving for its own end is thought provoking and perhaps a little scary /because/ it does have historical basis, if for no other reason than for war, the ongoing constant of historical life. I guess it's most thought provoking to me because I want deeply to believe in the enlightenment, which seems diametrically opposed to the idea of technology evolving for its own end. But it's hard to convince myself of the realism of intrinsic technoprogressivism. It seems to me that progressivism in technological development must be very deliberately crafted and diplomatically achieved through global pacts between many nations and the will of their people.
It had features for things like limiting output to anagrams that contain a maximum number of words, or words with a minimum length, so you wouldn't have to slog through every permutation. Usually the most interesting ones had the fewest words. But "interesting" is subjective so if you really wanted to find juicy ones you would have to spend more time combing through the results by hand.

Honest question: What problem did hamburger menus solve?

I remember menus before. They were there, they were obvious, and they didn't need someone to explain them to me. The first time I was on a site with a hamburger menu, I'm not embarrassed to say that it to me _minutes_ to figure out what it was.

I see how they're not as obvious, and would make that trade if they solved some serious worthwhile problem, but what was that?
The attention mechanism corresponds to the Hopf algebraic convolution, a generalization of the commonly known convolution.

Yeah, in some ideal world things would work like that.

On the real world, there is also an strong incentive not to block the profitability of any powerful person, and your paragraph applies only to powerless ones.

A couple of decades ago, there was a strong movement on the governments to measure and publicize the societal costs of the regulators procedures. Leaded by the US and Germany. But then we got the stupidification of politics, that stopped it completely.

To the extent that you're memory bandwidth limited you should be able to do multiple inferences at once --- latency stays high but getting multiple samplings can be extremely useful for many uses and can cover up somewhat for high latency.

It's amazing what you can encode in various formats.

To encode a character in this scheme, we first convert its ASCII code to binary. The binary representation of "u" is 01110101. We can see that the positions of the 1's are 0, 2, 3, and 6. Therefore, to encode the secret word, we italicize the first, third, fourth, and seventh words.

Thank you, I'll definitely play with pinecone before I build. The dimensionality might vary between models or versions of models. Additionally, the end goal would be to expose it to users and not have to post filter. So probably an index per user. Not sure how expensive that is to recalculate regularly.
Well, I was talking of "producing", not "work". At least in my mind, they're really not the same. Also, I'm sure that I did not mention communism. I do believe that the US has a very unique manner of looking at money, though.

Yes. @1 indicates where the first argument of the implicit function is inserted. (It's like _ in some partial application syntaxes, but more general because there can be multiple implicit arguments.) The previous steps produced a list of word lists, so we indicate that this giant list, which is the implicit first argument of this function of the pipeline, is going into the first argument position of sort.

The : symbol causes argument 2 of sort to be defaulted, as if it were omitted. That's the comparison function, which defaults to less. In TXR Lisp, you can explicitly default optional arguments with : which enables you to give arguments to later optional arguments to the right of those.

We then specify argument 3, the function for selecting the key to sort by for each element. Each element is a list of words (anagrams fo equal length). We pick the first one with car, and take its length: chain will compose those functions for us.

We use square brackets because the function names are in the function namespace: square brackets provide a function application language in which variables and functions are in one namespace.
yes, but that's not their best part, although some of it is pretty good.

Thanks. Will be looking into this more deeply.
> Renting from the company is bad, like my original post. It’s solving for employee retention, not affordable housing.

If the rent is below market rate, it’s solving for both, at least temporarily during the employment period. Which may be ok or desired by the employee.

If the employee wants to stay within that area even after their employment ends, they can use the time that they are in the cheaper employer provided accommodations to find other housing. I think describing an employer provided housing for rent may really only be generally bad if the employer forces you to stay there and pay a captured rate as a condition of your employment.
I just assumed it would take me to a sitemap so I didn’t click it.
I love this theory and it seems very plausible. Cycles are everywhere in the world and it's impossible to avoid them.

I wonder if that's why are brains want to find patterns all the time. We need cycles and patterns because they represent stability. Once you have stability then you can focus on improvements because you have a baseline. Your baseline is like your save file you reset to when your experiments go wrong.

It really seems like you can apply this to almost anything in life.

While the scenario you’ve outlined can- certainly happen, I think some studies have to be carried out to really determine tipping as the final insult to tip irate customers over the line into lost business.

Personally I don’t regard it as such a severe affront. To me, modern payment flows are such a bloated mess of screens that I’m half surprised Apple Stores don’t already have a tipping screens. If it wasn’t tipping, it’d be an appeal to donate to the St. Jude’s Children Hospital or to the Ronald McDonald fund. When supermarkets and fast food joints have all of these extra payment screens, a tipping screen at an electronics retailer doesn’t trigger me any more intensely.

Is this right? No. But it’s the state of payments, and it’s easy enough to tune out. Just another way how every vendor is trying to squeeze every last drop from consumers.
> Highway-built cars are fundamentally incompatible with human-scale living: they are loud

Most modern cars are very quiet. There is an alley behind my house, I mostly hear the stupid whirring noises that electric cars make and large trucks, I don't even hear modern ICE cars go through the alley. The safety systems for blind people in electric cars are much much louder than the exhaust of a modern car.
>For instance, a major selling point of Node was running JS on both the client and server so you can write the code once

I mean, I'm using Laravel Livewire quite heavily for forms, modals and search. So effectively I've eliminated the need for writing much front-end code. Everything that matters is handled on the server. This means the little Javascript I'm writing is relegated to frilly carousels and other trivial guff.
My point is more that debugging a core dump (and similar activities) would be all the more foreign. The engineer might even be shocked that the need to do that sort of thing even exists for a piece of Rust code.
You know, now that I think about it... it's probably not be true anymore, but I bet 3-4 decades ago having a dedicated "sun tea" pitcher rivaled or exceeded kettle ownership, in the US.

("sun tea" is made by sticking a big glass pitcher or jar outside on a warm sunny day, with water and teabags and maybe some citrus slices in it, and waiting for it to become something resembling tea, which you may drink at its natural somewhat-warm temperature, drink over ice, or refrigerate).
It's ironic that I confusedly searched the header for links to other parts of his blog, before realising that he had actually followed his own advice and put everything in the footer.

Man, I hate these broad reductive arguments. They never consider the trade-offs and focus on a single arbitrary principle. Once you actually try to design something, you'll realise just how many conflicting requirements need to be juggled.

I don't agree that hamburger menus hurt accessibility. I've never seen a user confused about them. I can navigate them just fine with the keyboard [1].

Further, they match how I interact with most marketing- & news pages. I first scan the landing page for useful details, and then look for specifics in the menu. Having this list at the bottom of the landing page would require scrolling. Having all the links visible at the top would make it harder to get through the landing page. The trade-off presented here forces you to loose your scroll position every time you want to access the menu.

If we don’t reduce carbon emissions—heck if we don’t stop carbon emissions—there will be no future for our children and grandchildren to either prosper or impoverish in. Not reducing carbon means we are all going to die. The earth will heat 4-5 degrees. Human societies will not function as we know them today, governments will break down, wars will be fought, famines will linger. However much money fossil fuel gives us today will have no effect on that future, as we will all be dead.

Assembly language generation by symbolic AI (compilers) has been here for 60 years. The "prompts" are very precise and predictably behaved, but requiring the users to learn a specialized language. (Most such languages tend to be concerned with the "how" rather than "what".)

With the new AI, you just specify the "how". Then you get a buggy program, in one of the above specialized languages for the old AI, and the rest of the prompts in the chat are edit instructions on how the AI should fix the code to make it work.

Ask HN: World building game to play with my father (63) online
I am looking to find a world/city/empire building game to play with my father who is 63 years old.

I'd like to spend more time connecting with my father who lives in another country by playing a game online. Being able to play together at the same time would be a benefit.

He enjoys playing games that involve period action (a move every 60 minutes or so) as well as those that have an element of resource planning.

Has anyone had a good experience bonding with a senior parent via games that could recommend me something.

Thanks in advance.
That's because complaints about tips are bald-faced lies. Tipped employees make much more with tips than they would otherwise, doubly so because cash tips are chronically unreported to the IRS. Income numbers are skewed across the board because the US's service industry participates in blatant tax evasion.
Which is itself OK. It's not always possible to put things in a place. The problem is when people hide away the important things in the hamburger menu, even when they have plenty of unused space. Which begs the question: if it's so useless that it can't even be allowed to be visible lest it take up a bit of screen real estate, why is it useful enough to include in the hamburger - or exist?
