> OK, create an incredibly complex transportation system that adds a ton of mechanical failure points—so buddy can read his book uninterrupted, take a nap, or watch a TV show? And what's the net gain for humanity here?

Yes, that's precisely the point - to get back the hours spent commuting so you don't have to think about them and can do other more productive or enjoyable things with that time. If you spend 8 hours working at $50/hour and then 2 hours commuting, that's $100/day or roughly $2000/month in saved time. Most people would consider that worthwhile.

> If they feel they need to nap in public then maybe their work-life balance is problematic.

No shit, but cutting time wasted in commuting is generally an easier sell than cutting time spend actually working or engaged in leisure activities.

> What about fail states? What happens when a pod transfer issue means the whole train is brought to a halt? What happens if there's an unexpected obstacle in front of the car running alongside the train?

The same way we've made air travel so safe that you don't need to think about it, despite the tens of thousands of parts in a modern jetliner. Engineer the hell out of it, and build in multiple redundancies and failsafes.

> Quite honestly, most people probably don't even need to be in the office, let alone all the time.

If remote work actually worked, we should do that instead.

Not everyone is a software engineer or knowledge worker, and it's likely that the fraction of people who are is going to go down in the future.
No, they have said, literally, that they will not stop rate hikes until they hit their inflation target. They will also consider stopping if it starts to interfere with their max employment mandate.

The critical difference that you are missing is that if inflation stops before employment declines, they will stop raising rates.
You learn something new every day!

In terms of journalist, it does not make economic sense for the creators. Microtransactions will turn journalism into gig work with all the downsides that comes with that. It will also reduce the number of companies that control information since companies will fight to dominate the microtransaction space with only a few companies being able to compete. It's also not advantageous for readers. Readers will pay only for things they find interesting ignoring information that's important but not desirable to read. We'll have an even less informed citizenship.
And this is why I'm really scared of AGI. Because we can see that corporations, even though they are composed of humans, who do care about things that humans care about, they still do things that end up harming people. Corporations need humanity to exist, and still fall into multi-polar traps like producing energy using fossil fuels, where we require an external source of coordination.

AGI is going to turbo-charge these problems. People have to sleep, and eat, and lots of them aren't terribly efficient at their jobs. You can't start a corporation and then make a thousand copies of it. A corporation doesn't act faster than the humans inside it, with some exceptions like algorithmic trading, which even then is limited to an extremely narrow sphere of influence. We can, for the most part, understand why corporations make the decisions they make. And corporations are not that much smarter than individual humans, in fact, often they're a lot dumber (in the sense of strategic planning).

And this is just if you imagine AGI as being obedient, not having a will of its own, and doing exactly what we ask it to, in the way we intended, not going further, being creative only with very strict limits. Not improving sales of potato chips by synthesizing a new flavor that also turns out to be a new form of narcotic ("oops! my bad"). Not improving sales of umbrellas by secretly deploying a fleet cloud-seeding drones. Not improving sales of anti-depressants using a botnet to spam bad news targeting marginally unhappy people, or by publishing papers about new forms of news feed algorithms with subtle bugs in an attempt to have Google and Facebook do it for them. Not gradually taking over the company by recommending hiring strategy that turns out to subtly bias hiring toward people who think less for themselves and trust the AI more, or by obfuscating corporate policy to the point where humans can't understand it so it can hide rules that allow it to fire any troublemakers, or any other number of clever things that a smart, amoral machine might do in order to get the slow, dim-witted meat-bags out of the way so it could actually get the job done.
It’s not just business people. Most humans seem to see security (and safety) as a burden, not as something enjoyable.

That's always possible! Can you clarify your position, so we might better understand each other?

For a minute I did considered the possibility that you were leaning hard on the word manufacturer. However, I thought it was quite absurd that you would be fine with a situation where "[a third party] or whoever compromises them can remotely disable charging on my car."

I intentionally avoided that less-than-charitable interpretation of your words, since IMO it would violate the HN guidelines:

My guess is they do enter the OTC space within the next year or so or in true Tim Cook fashion just sell a higher binned version of airpod with OTC hearing aid capability. Their watch series 4 already has FDA medical device certifications.

As for the rest of the market, the amount of margin has been insane for hearing aids. I say look at IEM market which uses same balanced armature technology: They charge at a minimum 20x what Knowles charges for the drivers. Chinese sellers figured it out and sell IEM's with the same drivers and only 3-4x markup. It's killed all but the highest custom end of IEM markets (most of the companies merged).

Hearing aids once again have the same balanced armature drivers and mark up at least 200-500x the driver cost. There is of course some cost to the DSP and paying someone to customize it but most of it is pure regulatory capture to get the FDA approval.
Excellent summary. A couple other reasons for a separate tokenizer:

1. Sometimes all you need is a tokenizer - such as for highlighting in a code editor

2. D has a construct called a token string - where a string literal consists of tokens

3. A separate tokenizer means the lexer and parser can run in separate threads

Correct, and you can find CCs more likely on movies and shows that were shot in the respective language itself. For example, the stuff from https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/100396 is much more likely to have 100% accurate captions if your goal is to learn Spanish
I think "just" is perhaps not the right word for something that took a senior dev over a year and more than 2000 commits just to get to an RFC patchset that doesn't compile for all architectures... Tremendous work, but it clearly wasn't easy or a matter of "follow these simple rules".
I was looking for properties to rent in Italy and VRBO was insanely better than the airbnb prices, data, and options. I was really shocked because I always thought of VRBO as some sort of mostly-luxury option with limited properties available.

That article has a wonderful quote from Mark Twain. In part, this:

"The con is the oldest game there is. But it’s also one that is remarkably well suited to the modern age. If anything, the whirlwind advance of technology heralds a new golden age of the grift. Cons thrive in times of transition and fast change, when new things are happening and old ways of looking at the world no longer suffice."

It was that way from day one.

It is like it's own career. You start off being underpaid to get a reputation, and work your way up.

Weird story: I started my career on odesk (before it was called upwork) and finished 50 or so contracts before I moved 3.5k miles to my first bay area job.

Which was across the street from the odesk office.

One thing I hate about modern design is the use of microscopic fonts with giant margins around them. Often with poor contrast.

Trains connecting town centers obviously can’t solve everyone’s transportation needs, but they can help to enable a car-free or reduced-car lifestyle for those who want that and are willing to design their lives around it.

Even if that’s only, say, 10% of the population in less dense areas, it could still make a significant impact on traffic and emissions as well giving an economic boost to downtown areas, since there’s now a reason for people to live near them.
This extension scratches that exact itch — having audio in German and captions both in German and English for example

Oddly enough, in Margaret Mead's case, that seems to mean lying to the world about Samoan promiscuity to rationalize her own adultery (implying that in the "state of nature", whatever that means, it's no big deal), thus contributing in her own way to the groundwork for the disaster that was the sexual revolution.
That comes with practice. Use the fewest built-in controls for an interaction, then try it out. You’ll probably need to tweak it: add/remove labels, add a control, line breaks, etc.

There’s no magic gene for this, it’s just the willingness and ability to navigate a large design space.
Attempted to register, but they required a Google account, which I don't have and don't want.

The US also didn't have 99 aircraft carriers in 1942. But it had that many in 1945. So I guess this is just a question of commitment, dedication, resouce allocation, and ingenuity.

Ironically, my locale's WP edition has failed to or didn't want to adopt /w/ instead of /wiki/ as the leading path segment for Wikipedia articles, as opposed to the English edition.

Also, thinking about this makes me want to search for edit wars and discussion about US vs British spelling on Wikipedia.

I'm wondering what kinds of reliability we actually need.

Residential: it seems like we often accept less reliability? It's common for bad weather like thunderstorms to cause power outages, particularly in rural areas. Lots of places in California will get cut off during high winds.

If you need reliability, a battery backup protects you from more outages, including those that take out the grid. In some cases a generator makes sense (such as for a data center), but it's higher maintenance.
I found dubbed shows significantly easier to listen then native shows. It is actually easier to learn from those then from native shows. Dubbing is almost always better pronounced and less mixed with background sounds.

Also, the claim that it is impossible to learn if you don't have perfect cc subtitle in target language is absurd. You can use subtitles in own language to get the meaning.

It doesn’t even work for internally-capitalized companies. For one thing even companies focusing exclusively on serving existing customers will have some churn and that will necessitate new sales to offset the losses.

Similar experience at the fruit company ~15 years ago designing a graphics scaling and compositing pipeline for one of the earlier high volume phone SoCs. It was originally designed with (de)gamma blocks before/after the scaling and compositing blocks to do it in linear space but the (de)gamma blocks were removed at the request of a graphics team because "nobody does that" - I recall the justification being that their assets were optimized for the incorrect behavior so they preferred it. I had a copy of Jim Blinn's book Dirty Pixels (aka the Gammasutra) that I would refer people to but it didn't change any minds. I hope they've improved since.
> Would that make it correct? Nonsense.

Why not? Plenty of English words evolved this way. What's the problem exactly?

In linguistic terms, "comprised of" in English is commonly accepted and understood, and usage almost always overrides "logic" or other rules and regularities in the language.
>honestly don't understand why people act like this.

Because it’s social pressure to compromise your computer to a gaming company to get to play a game.

People don’t care about the anticheat on their computer, they want it foisted on everyone else who plays, which is a sucky proposition for privacy and security minded people.

It’s like advocating for the TSA to be controlling access to the grocery store because you want to feel safe there and don’t mind the privacy violation.

"Fancy calculators" is kind of a reductive analogy, isn't it?

I assert that machine learning is learning and machine intelligence is intelligence. We don't say that airplanes don't really fly because they don't have feathers or flap their wings. We don't say that mRNA vaccines aren't real vaccines because we created them with CRISPR instead of by isolating dead or weakened viruses.

What matters, I believe, is what LLMs can do, and they're scarily close to being able to do as much, or more, than any human can do in terms of reasoning, despite the limitations of not having much working memory, and being based on a very simple architecture that is only designed to predict tokens. Imagine what other models might be capable of if we stumbled onto a more efficient architecture, one that doesn't spend most of its parameter weights memorizing the internet, and instead ends up putting them to use representing concepts. A model that forgets more easily, but generalizes better.
Individual actions make so little difference it's negligible. By preaching change in individual actions you're trivializing the challenges we face.
services are IMO the biggest misfire of an attempted rails convention. "service" is completely domain agnostic and because there's no standard API like there is for controllers or model, the "service" API ranges from `MyService.call` to `MyService.new.call` `MyService.do_thing` etc etc.

service became the junk drawer of junk drawers even worse than lib because people at least 'believe' there is supposed to be a convention when there isn't. at least you know lib is kinda wild west.

Obviously the two will never coincide. Mobile GPUs will eventually reach a "good enough" stage though, and arguably we're already there. The quality of Quest-native games like Beat Saber is almost identical to the version on PC. Older games like Resident Evil 4 play just like normal. Visually it can be 'meh', but the tech is there and the option to stream from a more powerful desktop still exists. It uses comparatively weak chipsets to deliver pretty-damn-good visuals at a price point lower than most consoles.

I would argue that your thesis of "you can't run proper games on mobile vr" is wrong. Today, you can go play DOOM 3 or Half Life in VR, untethered, on a sub-$500 headset. That should startle everyone working on tethered systems.
Finally got gpt4 api access. Now I can cancel my ChatGPT plus sub and save a bunch of cash by just using a local client.
If I had to guess, it just does not exists in subtitle form, no one ever added time information to the translation. Otherwise you had it in subtitles options with cc.

Some shows have two versions of subtitles available - one with cc other without. Likely, majority of consumers are not learning language specifically and are just watching the show and normal subtitles are superior in that case.
Re footnote 2: Good effort, but it's not reflection (albedo). Greenhouse gases are all about the part of solar radiation that isn't immediately reflected.

Most incident sunlight is absorbed (either in the lower atmosphere or on the surface). At the same time long wave infrared radiation (heat) is emitted, proportional to the temperature of the surfaces. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere slow down the rate at which that heat escapes to space.

> Pretty much every major Metro in the world does exactly that. NY, London, Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai, HK.

I've been to Paris and London and used their Metros and had no car. They're nice, but there's still a lot of walking between where you are and the metro station. If you're on the system late at night, there's a lot of waiting. If you're on the system during rush hour, there's a lot of people in a tiny space. If you can use it on the shoulders of peak, it's wonderful. Then again, roads are pretty good on the shoulders of peak too (parking in a busy area is almost never great, but there's an easy solution: avoid dense cities, which I'd prefer anyway, dense cities have a lot of people, and I don't like people in groups)

You may not have to pay money for unexpected maintenance, but you may be stuck somewhere when a train breaks down or has a collision; hopefully at a station and not on the particular train. Yeah, this happens with personal vehicles, but when my car won't start, it doesn't have a big impact on taxi capacity; when the train is stuck, everybody wants a taxi and it's hard to get one.

The big problem is there's no sense of agency. I can maintain my car, but I can't maintain the metro. I can fuel my car, but I can't prevent metro workers from striking. I can pretend I'll avoid collisions when driving, but I can't drive the train (and the train can't stop in time if anything unexpected is on the tracks).

Americans like a sense of agency, even if it means a worse result. Give me liberty or give me death and all that.
