What you've just asked is essentially "what's going to be on the test"?

Unfortunately, real life isn't a class at school, there isn't a professor, and no one can tell you what's going to be useful vs useless because ChatGPT's just as new for everybody except the people who made it. My time machine's just as good as your time machine, so whatever I'd try to predict is going to be just as wrong as it is right.

If you want to work in AI for the foreseeable future figure out what you want to know about in that realm. Personally I'm learning the math underlying LLMs and learning the principles that go into creating a GPT and how to make my own. Even though I can't afford to train my own, understanding the underlying concepts is interesting to me in its own right. Other people are interested in other aspects of LLMs that don't interest me, but interest them.
Take your pick. There’s no special magic to Japanese cities. They’re dominated by traffic and construction, full stop. The air is filthy.
Cars are a fairly constant and relatively low-level background noise, except for boy racers with intentionally-loud exhausts and revving aggressively, or anyone honking angrily.

Trucks and buses going over speed bumps, now that's much more annoying road noise (when there's a speed bump on a moderately busy road just outside your bedroom window)

Frequent emergency sirens and car alarms, they're pretty loud and sleep-interrupting.

Intoxicated groups of people making their way home at 2am can seen very loud too, in the worst way (yelling/arguing/singing badly)

Skateboards are surprisingly loud too.
Public transit costs money too. Also, if you drive with your family or friends, public transit gets more expensive. But it uses +/- same amount of gas.

Of course there's maintenance and insurance. But, for example, my yearly insurance is €80. With minimum wage of ~ €700-800. It's not exactly a deal breaker if that allows you to live in countryside and avoid obscene rents in big cities.
Sometimes you can hear something before you can see it.

You can hear in all directions but only see so wide.

A backup beeper is a safety feature purposely installed on trucks because it helps to hear that the truck is backing up before it runs into you.

That said, I still look both ways before I step out into the street.

They absolutely aren't insanely cheap. Folks have been pushing my town for bike lanes for years and it usually gets nowhere. We have like a handful of shitty bike paths and sidewalks that don't actually connect to the important centers.

The main commercial thoroughfare which runs north-south and would be the ideal place for one since it has Walmart, Aldi, Depot, pizza places, etc, doesn't even have a sidewalk. That's how ass-backward this area is designed.

I need to import this whole place into SimCity, bulldoze and redo huge swaths of it.

Taxes? Do you pay a toll to use each and every road for your car?

Do something like what India has done.
There is EU regulation 2017/1576 that requires to make noises if driving at low speeds.

https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/news/electric-and...

I'm an EV fan, but lower noise levels makes them more dangerous, not less, at least to the people they can potentially hit (of course for people living next to roads, noise is more hazardous from a more general health point of view). Cars are killer machines and stuff like seatbelts and airbags protect passengers but not pedestrians or cyclists hit by the car. So if you are a pedestrian or cyclist, then having the ability to hear the car is really great.

First Solar Bike Path in Germany Is Now Live
Yeah EVs are significantly quieter in cities where they're going slowly and tyre noise is relatively low.

Not going to make as much difference if you live near a motorway though since the tyre noise there is really really loud. (I still think it might make some difference though because engines going at 70mph are really loud too.)
You claim utility first and accessibility as first principle removes utility.
Removes utility for who? Accessibility is all about utility for the groups who need it the most. You can have normal excel and an excel that uses sound for blind people on the side. It's not one or the other, and the other in this case also puts utility first for the people it applies to. And what you learn from that can make normal excel better too.
Show HN: Dyrector.io – API and UI for Kubernetes and Docker Deployments
Hi HN!

dyrector.io is an open-source container management platform with config & release management capabilities to your cloud, on-prem or hybrid infrastructure. You install the platform's agent to your infrastructure, add the registry you wanna deploy images from, and deploy them.

We made the platform to allow people who don't know anything about containers to set them up in dozens or hundreds of deployment targets. We thought it would be an interesting use case to engineers, too, who are uninterested or don't have the time to manage deployments and container maintenance in terminals.

Hope you find the platform useful and let us know if you have any feedback!

The pi was always slow.

Its point is that its it costs less than $20 to have a working linux machine with GPIO. Not only that, it has all the documentation to allow most people to get from 0-flashing lights.

It was and is an educational platform.

the same with the rp-2040. Its a cheap, lowish power device that easy to program, has great documentation and is versatile.

If you're trying to run docker on it in production, then you have the wrong platform.
Honking is basically the only real way drivers have to communicate with the world outside their car. When a honk is needed to say anything you have to use it for everything.

(The contrast is particularly stark against e.g. cycling where you can just match pace with a stranger and hold a brief conversation about whatever happened.)
It really depends what you're doing. If you're working on developing hardware with a companion app, you're probably going to have a rough time with support, and assuming an iOS update every year, you'll probably need more than just those two TSI too.

I think the worst support thus far is probably Facebook/Meta for Facebook ads, and likewise, Twitter, for their respective ad platform. What a terribly broken and unreliable system Twitter has, even pre-acquisition. Breaks in all kinds of strange ways.
I've had good luck with the Le Potato boards - https://libre.computer/products/aml-s905x-cc/

They're available on Amazon, 2GB board is currently $35. Same footprint as the Pi, fits most of the same cases, hats, etc. Decent support forums and community, and the images aren't too esoteric.
I compare Austin because I've been to Austin, so I saw it for my own eyes. I've been to a range of European cities (especially the UK where I live) and all of them were more walkable than Austin. I'm not the only person to observe this. There's a number of Youtube channels (Not Just Bikes for one) that talk about this in great depth.

The problem here also is that assume everyone in the area would want to shop at THE grocery store.. and send thier kids to THE school...

I dont shop at the closest store to my home because I prefer the layout and selection of one that is further away, i know people that take their kids to schools across town because they are better than the one closest to me. (in my area schools are not assigned geographically, we have open enrollment at all public schools)

Cars give you that option, with out it you have THE store, and THE school... sorry but count me out of that

> Buy something else.

I have a raspi running pretty much non-stop since 2011 and am still able to update its software 12 years after purchase. All "somethings elses" which I bought had 3-4 years of software support and then their usability diminished drastically.
Exactly, and team less-cars is not gonna win folks over with the "well just change your whole lifestyle you've lived for 30+ years and/or change the entire topology of the town" rhetoric.

I don't even think if the entire town got together and said "we want a sidewalk on the main drag with Walmart so carless folks don't have to contend with walking on the shoulder with cars doing 55 in a 45" it would go anywhere, cause there's nowhere to even put that without some huge eminent domain grab.

> This means people can live within walking distance to where they work and where they shop

This is less common than you think. There are 8500 or so malls in Europe[0]. I happen to live near an (expensive) shop, which I use because I like walking places, but I also know I have a tech salary that lets me buy a place that's in walking distance of a shop, and afford to shop in it regularly.

Also, plenty of people don't live near where they work. Not very hot take: while for any new cities it's a good idea to try and take emissions into account, the best driver for lower emissions and more convenience isn't large-scale city planning. It's Zoom.

At highway speeds there might not be much difference in noise levels, but there's a huge difference on city streets. In cities in with particularly noisy vehicles such as motorcycles, diesel buses, etc, electrification makes a huge difference.

With EVs slowly becoming more dominant in central London (most taxis, and many buses and delivery vans are electric now), I've several times had the slightly eerie (but happy) experience of being at busy intersections and noticing that it was unusually quiet. Then looking around and seeing that every vehicle waiting at the intersection was electric or plug-in hybrid.

>But somehow putting three simple facts together makes you a white nationalist.

Well not quite. It does make people expect that you're about to blame me somehow wanting to "breed out" white people, which puts them on guard and makes them hostile. Personally I observe the same phenomena as you but I'm not allowed to point them out either, because I can hardly blame myself.

It's a very strange experience, being the conspiracy world's favorite supposed conspirator but still seeing what people are trying to explain by turning to conspiracy theories.
Honking is about drivers releasing their frustration and nothing else.

For one thing, everyone in other cars have their ACs and music on and cannot hear the honking anyways. So you’re not communicating with them anyways. And if you’re honking at pedestrians in a first world country you’re driving wrong.
Precisely (though "walking" is a better word than "jumping"). I need to put in a conscious effort to actually look, especially when I'm lost in thought. (The fact that in some places there is no clear visual distinction between the street and the pavement does not help, either.)
And luckily, the only relevant measure of quality of life is the number of years lived, isn’t it.

As an American expat in London, I think the thing that consistently shocks me is how neither Brits nor Americans understand how much poorer Brits are than Americans. The median London wage is something like 30k GBP / 40k US. In New York (where I lived before London) that number is ~70k, and the costs of living are pretty comparable.

And as much as I love that the NHS is a thing, it's not a reasonable comparison. No one I know who has a choice uses NHS services apart from emergency medicine or surgery. Everyone I know who can afford it has private health insurance anyway.

In general, everyone I know in this country either has serious family money or is downright poor by American standards. There really isn't much in between.

TO BE FAIR: it's generally much more pleasant to be poor in the UK than it is in the US. NHS is miles better than nothing, which is what many Americans have to deal with.
Also, as someone who both works on open source reactive stuff (like MobX) and literally works on a spreadsheet app (Excel) I can say what we do is entirely different from what these systems do because of different constraints and both are reactive.
Both parties in America tell people to turn off the part of their brain capable of thinking about class and political economy.
I have stage 4 lung cancer. I'm not "battling" cancer. It's not a "battle." It's stage 4. Cancer will eventually win. At best I am "prolonging the inevitable." I am not "courageously fighting."

The metaphor I prefer to use, that is not original to me, is that I got on the wrong fucking bus, and now we're headed somewhere I never asked to go, and there's no getting off. I am scared shitless, doing whatever I can to slow the bus down. There's nothing courageous about taking the next chemo, wishing not to die.

> DOS emulation is not a very battery-efficient way to play '88-98 games on the go

They don't mention the battery capacity or specific 8086 variant used but modern ones use to average 2W of consumption; there are zero power saving modes; and the guy even says that when using 8087 the mini-laptop must "be plugged in all the time".

So I rather doubt real hardware is the most efficient way, specially when e.g. with virtualization you can easily have 20+ hours of DOS on a subnotebook.
> PM2.5 levels in Tokyo yesterday were like 6x WHO limits and absolutely no one on the local news was talking about it

What are you talking about? Localities sent a smog alert, made announcements on the speaker, and there was a whole thing. It was a particularly hot day as well.

I don’t have that many reference points to be fair, but almost every time I’ve checked general air quality (at least according to the first site that describes AQI) for Paris has always been worse than Tokyo.

Of course things can be massively improved. There is a lot of noise pollution. But the conversations are relative to other places. My reference points are limited but on points like air pollution or smoking other major cities fare worse IMO.

Though this is all super subjective, and even within a city various parts of it have a vastly different vibe.
May be of interest: I released a port of Incremental to Rust the other week. It has a bit of a way to go in polish and docs, but the core implementation and API should be very familiar. (To the extent that it uses GADTs for node kinds just like the OCaml!) It has Expert nodes so incremental-map is feasible and already works. I’ve been using it as the state management for some UI with much success. Credit to the authors because it’s a good design. https://github.com/cormacrelf/incremental-rs
You are misunderstanding what I said. Of course the Apple headset would have much higher quality components. But it is similar to the Oculus Quest in that it is a standalone device which uses external cameras to track the environment. It's easy to use.

My point was that it seems consumers don't care about expensive high performance VR headsets. They want something that is both easy to use and inexpensive: The unusually early Quest Pro price drop suggests as much.

It's like the Nintendo Switch: If it had cost substantially more, much better graphics, screen resolution etc would have been possible, but it almost certainly would have been a flop. The same thing seems to be true for VR headsets.

> What does the government have to do with what apps I use in my free time?

Because it's literally their job: Protect the citizen. They may not do a good job all the time, most times they are even very bad. But nonetheless do they try and prevent most of the worst cases. And TikTok is so insane efficient in what it's doing, the line between benefit and harm is so thin, it could easily turn into a "worst case"-scenario if people don't observe it careful enough.
Google has done something similar; they make it hard to use my preferred 2FA app ("Authenticator" for iPhone). In order to add it I had to pick a different thing, then add 2FA, then remove the other thing. And even with that, it still tries to get me to authenticate with one of their apps on one of my iThings, de-emphasizing the option to just put in my code.

Dunno why these companies are like this, is there a good-faith explanation? Maybe they have a lot of support problems with authenticator apps?
Japan has cars, but it’s quiet.
Not sure typical business meetings would be the main target audience anyway. Videoconferencing is here to stay.

For example, we can sign a contract that you're no longer aloud to walk

No, I can't.

If you have me sign a contract that says "refurb agrees to no longer walk in exchange for $50,000", that will not be enforceable in court.

https://blog.ipleaders.in/unenforceable-contracts-what-you-n...

You said "If you want to have fun, you can report them to Visa/MC and watch that go away within a few days.", so no, if they are following the contract terms, it won't go away.

And Visa isn't able to include a blanket ban on surcharges due to changes in the law that would make such a contract illegal and unenforceable.
Where exactly would that bike infra go? There's literally nowhere to put a bike lane on 90% of the "strodes" in my town which would actually benefit from one.

It's not just a political or environmental problem, it's purely a "where does this infra even go" situation.
>>This means people can live within walking distance to where they work and where they shop, so they do just that: walk through quiet streets, often surrounded with trees.

it would take more than changing zoning laws for that, as I understand changing jobs and such is not as common in these locations as well. If you are changing jobs every couple of years having to find a home in the same neighborhood as your new job may be a challenge.

Also I prefer not be limited in my shopping choices just to the single shop that happens to be in my building or on my block...
