doesn't exclude all roads? Where I live, highways all have a speed limit of 65-75 mph, and all streets with a speed limit of 40 or below are city our county roads. So where can you actually use this?

> CPU’s natively use a language referred to as “Assembly”, b

Strictly, CPUs use machine code. Assembly targeting a particular CPU is a very thin more-human-readable abstraction around the underlying machine code, but it is not, itself, what the CPU executes. That’s why “assemblers” exist – they are compilers from assembly language to machine code (though, because assembly is a very thin abstraction, they are much simpler than most other compilers.)
I guess. Wikipedia has a very distinct and string moderator culture though. Do we want like every single online forum to take a similar approach?

I anticipate the rollout of congestion pricing will wind up accelerating some changes to the way parking works: areas on the margins of the congestion zone will likely see a surplus of commuters looking to park where they can avoid the toll, which will have the effect of making proposals like paid resident parking permits much more palatable to car owners who currently oppose them.

For some reason rich people assume their riches makes them wise. Humanity hasn't changed much (at all) since culture was recorded. Read philosophers if you want philosophy - Andreessen is a (poor) sophist and he wants to sell you something.
Again, I’m not against congestion charging, I’m against the thinking that most of the immediate downsides are born by the rich. It is politically naive to think like this given that plenty of people who are taking advantage of driving (for better or worse) are not people who would be considered rich. Actually it’s worse than that since rich people aren’t going to think much about a $5 or $10, $20 fee while poorer drivers definitely are.

As for it not encompassing midtown, that sounds a bit weird to me, but ok. I’m not sure it will have much impact on overall region traffic since most trips probably don’t involve that area in the first place.

For one, it's been over 2 years without an Elm release. And there are many open bugs untracked in GitHub. https://github.com/elm/compiler/issues

Unrelated to your question but for those curious, here's a comparison between Gren and Elm :

This is simply not true. I've asked it many questions it has not been trained to know the answers to because they involve e.g. code it won't have seen in the wild, and gotten the right answer back.

In one of my other responses I dug into how I'd asked it to analyse a piece of assembly generated with a compiler I've written, from a test program that didn't exist at GPT4's knowledge cutoff, and it did just fine.
> On top of that, minor tasks and chores pile up

This. So much this.

"Rich" people often have so much time available to them because they make enough money to offload all the minor tasks (shopping for basic needs, government paperwork and bureaucracy, scheduling appointments, etc.).
Why? Different people react differently to things. Especially psychologically. What might be merely uncomfortable for one person could push another person over the edge.

I wouldn't exactly pay to much attention to news.com.au as a reliable source for whether a pro-environmental policy has been effective. I'm personally skeptical about the likely overall effectiveness of plastic bag bans, but I've seen no evidence that increased use of bin liners has somehow made plastic pollution worse here- and for me it is absolutely the blight of seeing loose bits of plastic ending up in the natural environment (both in and out of the ocean) that I'm most keen to see reduced.
Honest question ... How far can you push "one server"? Given that HN runs on one server (plus one mirror) and this apparently serves a not that small community well ... Given "1 million connections" are possible on one server ... Given that green threads are a thing these days ... Given that SQLite is so much faster than networked databases ... Given that a monolith is faster than Microservices ... Given that it's possible to use a compiled language instead of trying to speed up interpreted languages ...

What's the limit here? HN is a great example of what's possible, but can a single beefy server scale to handle the traffic of a Reddit?

Sure but there is definitely more access to info about what is happening in the world so stuff someone might've had simplistic view on 20 years ago now can be researched and looked at by anyone that wants.

I also think the fact many people work in not really all that creatively stimulating jobs to begin with have a lot of effect on that. When you are at school you learn something new every day and are occasionally facing different mental challenges, when you work at retail not really.

> If you believe that there is never a need for law enforcement decisions to be made that cannot be revealed to the accused party, then that is a separate (and in my opinion, impractical/unreal) point.

Well, uhh, thanks for inviting a "genuine intellectual debate" and then out-of-hand dismissing any disagreements as "impractical/unreal".

We already have the grand jury which is a secret process and can deliver so called "sealed indictments" which prevents the indicted party from knowing they have been indicted. Grand juries have significant oversight and a long history of legal oversight.

FISA "courts", on the other hand, operate in an intentionally ill-defined legal space. To me, FISA courts are just as nonsense as the "unlawful enemy combatant" Bush-era policies. "This system is not _technically_ against the law because we built-in enough loopholes to prevent any actual legal oversight" should not be a valid argument for upholding a corrupt status-quo.

I don't accept the premise that some information is _too dangerous_ to be heard by a grand jury. We already have legal processes to limit exposure, including many trial processes that are done without the jury being present.
I have a question that's maybe super naive, but it's something I'm struggling with: that one designated item in the DOING session, what happens when it turns out to be a big challenge, perhaps a multi-day one, something you just can't possibly do in one sitting? I mean, obviously, you should push it back to TODO section and pick something else, but how do you deal with the associated feelings of frustration and powerlessness?
> I also theorize that founders are very social people and they especially typically can't figure out remote management.

I think this is a large part of the problem that isn’t being explicitly pointed out. Extroverts likely hate this style of work and it feels like some folks, instead of really compromising or trying to find an effective model that works with this new reality, just go the safe route. I was happier with the way things were...
You forgot to say why and how exactly.

A decentralized network won't magically remove the need for moderation or make the job less onerous or more attractive to do. Only now the server/instance owner is not only paying for the hosting out of their own pocket, now they are (also legally in many cases!) responsible for the content moderation too!

What a win! That totally makes it super attractive to do.
Yeah, that would probably change the calculus. There were major frequency (heat) issues on older Intel cpus when running avx512.

But if there are 5 people in a car, the congestion pricing ends up costing each person less than it would cost someone driving alone. In a way, this discourages people using the road space inefficiently in favor of people like you and your friends who are using it more efficiently.
And now we get to actual solutions: public funding. But it's something a lot of people don't want to admit. We skirt around the issue, this relies on donations, that relies on the goodwill of the owner, all of it to ignore the fact that what we really want is public funding for crucial software such as forums/social networks (and hosting them).

Yea it also ignores that if everybody stopped riding the $100 train then you’d never actually be able to drive into the city, let alone park anywhere for under $100.

Also, this is a deliberate choice. They can improve train services and lower costs. Idk why people who ostensibly are market oriented are so fixated on current prices and assuming they can’t change or be improved upon. Germany is an example $49 for a ticket for all (I think) transit.

Another thing while I’m at it - how much does your car, insurance, gas, maintenance, tires, and other things cost? How much money per month are you paying to pay for the roads and highways? Etc. It’s hard to do a fair apples to apples comparison here either way.

> Most programming work is still text editing [...]

Text no longer needs to be the primary way of conveying programs. There are practical reasons text works best on screens, but if your coding environment is boundless then there’s no reason to believe you can’t do fancier things like direct manipulation of ASTs pretty easily. Imagine "grabbing" an AST node and attaching it to a different parent, all in space.

Beyond simple AST manipulation, the Vision Pro will probably enable Dynamicland-esque "programming spaces" where you manipulate objects in your virtual environment to construct programs.
I mean, his simulator already has a disassembler contained within it, would just need to replace comments with print statements.
Another framing of this is not based on demand. Presumably most creativity and art creation isn’t to fulfill a need or demand from anyone other than the producer. This could allow the creator and even users to feel some sense of originality and creativity.
> For your gaming PC you likely don't even need a current gen chip.

Many gamers, like me, probably also use their display for things aside from gaming. For non-gaming computer work I like 4K w/ a high (120hz ideally) refresh rate for well rendered text and smoother movement. But as I also then want to use this monitor for gaming, I need a gaming system that supports this.

TLDR; you might need a current gen chip for reasons other than gaming.

Points #171 to #178 - chapter "The Future" - of ISaiF contain the discussion about Artificial Intelligence and general Automation (and further prospective areas such as Genetic Engineering).

The analysis, while lucidly exposed, lacks the sophistication which should reveal more major possibilities (e.g. the machine as an enhancer for the decisor and the public).

Nonetheless, we read

> On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained. In that case the average man may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as his car or his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of a tiny elite

where the missed addition of quantifiers and specifiers in the expression «may have control» makes said relative "lack of sophistication" even optimistic.

Gosh, seeing someone actually posting in the public about their experience using Orc gives me very strange feeling.

Some context here. Software design-wise, Orc was stuck in 00s. Not scalable, hard to support, hard to add new features, etc. And the corporate structure did not allow for innovations.

Somewhere in the end of 00s group of engineers left Orc (the company) to rebuild the trading platform from the ground up, and formed a new company, called Tbricks. Tbricks was such a success that Orc (again, the company) spend a lot of cash to acquire it, put key people from Tbricks to the leading positions and sunset legacy (classic, as we called them) Orc products.

After the merger, the company was renamed to Itiviti. I came there ~a year after the merger and worked for five years as an SWE in the Tbricks team. The goal of the merger was to migrate all Orc customers to Tbricks in a year or two. Five years later I left the company, and there still were a few of major customers not migrated yet. Orc was supported by one or two persons full-time, and a few of greybeards who moved on to the new projects, but still had the knowledge. And I think it is still bringing few millions USD a year in license costs.
The actual dollar amount also matters. London's charge has tripled since it was introduced. The unforeseen consequence of this type of charge is it becomes a lever to reduce traffic by forcing poorer people off the roads everyone pays for.
My takeaway from Kacynski’s manifesto is that he makes an astute observation about the root causes of unhappiness, but then proposes an absurd solution.

The astute observation is that a lot of unhappiness is driven by over-socialization and a commitment to inauthentic, subjective values.

The solution, to tear down technology to force mankind to work on more primitive goals, only makes sense if there are no alternatives.

Thankfully there are many alternatives. First and foremost, I think people like Ted just need to realize that the yearning to be important and useful is natural, but something you can let go of if you stop taking life so seriously.
I don't understand. How does that make it not a fork?
Debian distributes firmware stored in volatile RAM because it is either required to use the hardware, or, as is the case for CPU microcode updates, highly recommended for most users.

As far as I know, Debian does not distribute proprietary EEPROM firmware updates at all, as these are generally not required to use the hardware (and, depending on the device and update in question, may or may not be recommended for most users).

In other words, the difference is practical, not ideological.

AWS quotas come in hard and soft varieties. A hard quota cannot be changed as it’s factored into service operations (e.g. APIGW’s 29 second integration timeout). A soft quota may or may not require review before being granted. However, if it is a soft quota, the best thing to do is escalate to your TAM after opening with the business impact of the request. The TAM is paid out of your enterprise support contract, so the least they can do is advocate for you.
It has nothing to do with web standards, or the web at all.

Back in 2001 your computer was probably connected directly to the internet over Ethernet with a dedicated IP address so the simple setup worked fine.

But then Wi-Fi came out and people had routers at home and NAT became the norm. This forced STUN/TURN.

It's entirely a networking issue, not a web issue. IPv6 could have made NAT a thing of the past, but obviously it hasn't. But firewalls are also the norm now in a way they weren't back in 2001 because security has to be tighter now.
To be fair, he seemed to line up pretty strongly with Ned Ludd, and the evils of capitalism in relation to 'who owns the machines'.
