Ride-sharing isn't going to solve these problems. At most, you fit up to five people in a single car. Most will carry fewer people, perhaps only one or two.

If you try to scale up ride sharing vehicles so they carry more people, you now have to build specialized vehicles that make multi-stop trips where you pick up multiple parties on-demand and drop them off at their individual locations. You've now eliminated the advantages of ride-sharing or taxis--they pick you up where you want and take you directly where you want to go--and managed to recreate a smaller bus. Let's call it a small, self-driving minibus that's not a bus system but a ride share system.

Only it's much worse than a bus, because bus routes are optimized in a way that vehicles picking up and dropping off passengers at what amounts to random locations on-demand never can be. Plus, you're adding even more vehicles to the road in addition to all the other self-driving cars that are running around making deliveries, looking for parking or running off to the outskirts of the city to kill some time as they wait for their human passenger to summon them again, or hustling to try to pick up passengers to make some money for their owners.

Heck, you can't even have them drive on access-limited busways or bus lanes because, by their very nature, they can't stick to dedicated routes.

Consider this: the Siemens S700 streetcar carries over two-hundred people in its usual configuration[0] with a length of just under 95 feet, or the equivalent of around ~6 cars that are almost bumper-to-bumper and trams can be built to be autonomous.

Self-driving cars have their benefits, but they're not an alternative to actual public transport solutions no matter how we try to dress them up. In the end, and as others have pointed out elsewhere in recent years, every new transit idea eventually boils down to a train. Or, in this case, an actual bus.

It's so strange to me that a culture would encourage people to remain silent during something like this. I can't imagine having a stranger put their hands down my pants on a crowded subway and not turning around and slugging them in the face.
"This desperate attempt to look oppressed by Russia is pathetic at this point."

This desperate attempt to deflect the actual and real ramifications of the law which made Russians pariahs in their communities is utterly laughable. Maybe you should take some time to investigate yourself. No Russian in theatres, no Russian on documents, No Russian film dubbings, be careful talking Rusian or get beat up or killed - spend some time talking to folks from Donbass and understand the kind of oppression they faced, before you call oppression as pathetic.

"Actively avoiding you" is bad if true but most of that comment is about totally normal things, like not making accommodations in speech and switching to more efficient language both people understand. If it was me I would do the same, wouldn't want to dumb down my own language for every immigrant around (what would that language become eventually...) and similarly now I don't expect others should for me. There are teachers and instructors, you can watch local media, read books, lurk on forums, find a local SO/close friend, etc. It's not expected to be a fast and easy process anyway.

I feel the exact same way. Python gave me so much flexibility and escape hatches when I did dumb design things as a novice. Now as a veteran I just want a boring, strong static language with clear boundaries and behavioural expectations
Warship Taxonomies
That's still a reactive defense. A safer approach is to encrypt the data and keep the keys in the CPU, which is what TME (intel) and SME (amd) do. The downside is some added latency, power consumption and die area.

> Because that's basically what we mean by super-intelligence, the ability to reach any conceivable goal.

I appreciate this formulation as it allows me to finally articulate my core disagreement with AI doomers: it's a fantasy, and a surprisingly common one, that is secretly supremacist.

It's similar to the "9/11 was an inside job" types: they simply refuse to accept that the almighty US could get harmed by a sufficiently determined terrorist cell group, so they invent any number of reasons how the cackling overlords were behind it the whole time, instead of the more boring reality that the US military and intelligence complexes are incompetent and squabbling bureaucracies.

With AI it's the belief that human endeavor can finally defeat nature once and for all, by defeating humans themselves. But as your formulation shows, an AI achieving this would have to solve precisely the same problems that power-hungry human organizations do, which is "overcome the other guy".

Why do we blithely assume that "AI" would be some unitary entity? We already have bard vs chatgpt vs llama. How are they going to paperclip each other out of existence let alone us?

Finally, we don't have to fantasize about immortal superhuman organizations out to destroy humanity, we have them already: multinational corporations :)

The big game studios set that narrative entirely for marketing purposes. They make hugely expensive games and expect epic profits so they want things to be hyped up “must buy” phenomena rather than slow growing, similar to how Hollywood focuses on the opening weekend sales.

If they wanted to change this it’d be easy to fun smaller games (or ones with less expensive assets), release them only when they’re completed, and pitch them realistically to the press … but then they’d be targeting modest profits and their executives wouldn’t be getting yachts. It seems similar to how the VC model encourages failures trying to turn every concept into a unicorn.
The point of that knowledge was to further biowarfare programs. By pardoning them and then continuing their research, you use that suffering to an end even worse than nothing.

There was no useful fundamental research from Unit 731. Most of the work was on weaponizing existing pathogens as effectively as possible.
Good tech companies pay employees higher than what is listed in the filing, they just don't want to divulge how much they're paying in public records. This is totally fine, there is nothing illegal about paying more.

Mediocre companies (or good startups who aren't considering this stuff too deeply) file with the exact salary.

Scam companies pay below what they filed (illegal).
I had to delete Apple News because Apple was forcibly inserting its own channels that I could not remove or say “Not Interested”, which you can normally do for all other channels. I recall they were BLM and COVID19; sorry that I don’t want politics shoved in my face every day. Why can’t I choose what I want to see?
Huh, I have the same thing. My wife also gets upset about it sometimes too, and occasionally angry - but I can't help it! There are events that I simply have no recollection of at all. Sometimes, if I'm promoted with photos and anecdotes, I think I remember it just a little... but it's so tenuous that I'm not sure if I'm just convincing myself.
What is a belief it not the highest-ranked hypothesis of all possible options? Obviously beliefs are more complex than that, since we have a default set installed in us as children, and only a subset of humans are taught the rational methods of improving those beliefs over time. I consider myself a member of that subset.

(Quoting Aristotle always puts me in the mood to rank things.)

That's great if you can afford it. But there are people who are more price-conscious where the lower price matters more than the simplicity of a flat fee.

I'm very happy to restrict myself to a carry-on and not have to subsidize people bringing large checked luggage.

Show HN: I created an Open-Source ChatGPT Backend Service
Hi HN, I created an open source project to help developers quickly integrate ChatGPT into their apps (https://github.com/arihantparsoya/chatgpt-cloud-service).

Currently, when developers create a new ChatGPT enabled feature, they have to create a backend cloud service to protect their ChatGPT API key from the users. Hence, I believe this project will be helpful for developers in quickly creating such backend service for themselves.

Looking forward to your feedback!
Flares fired in a city for non emergency [1] and hoax calls should if anything be investigated as pranks [2]. Very few people these days lack a video camera in their pocket. There is no excuse to not have pictures and videos of the purported aliens so dispatch knows what they are searching for. Las Vegas city government and all the casinos have a myriad of cameras around the city so it should be possible to find out who fired the flares or at least where they were fired from.

That was the South Park take on 9/11 conspiracies: that the government was conspiring to promote them to create the impression they are competent enough to pull it off.
I understand this document is from 2009, not secret, and probably contains information known elsewhere.

Still, what is the intent of the CIA in publishing this on the open web? I assume they would be able to distribute this to US nationals even in other orgs through internal networks.

That's because you haven't tried Mercury News.
Apparently in Italy the speed limit is strictly enforced by automated cameras. If you go more than 5% over, you'll get a fine.
Even the agency reporting the numbers states that the figure isn't meaningful. "OHCHR specified that the real numbers could be considerably higher." You'd also want to account for the millions of displaced and homeless, of course. The destruction of the Kakhovka dam alone will likely cost more than 9,000 people their homes.

But go ahead, Boris, keep carrying water for the worst people on the planet. Be grateful to the US for making your job easier with the Iraq war... which, I might add, many of us protested vociferously without fear of imprisonment or exile. If it hadn't been for Iraq, you'd have to fall back on the "Nazi-aligned country with a Jewish president" excuse.

The Compliance Branch by David Foster Wallace (2008)
Wikipedia lists multiple battles between the Chinese Red Army and the Nationalists, and also states they joined together to fight the Japanese. It lists multiple engagements/actions from 1927 to 1936.

Claiming Mao "believed in violence" adds nothing new, really. Most revolutionaries believed in violence as a means to reach an end. Nationalists did, too.

I think it's not controversial that Mao had a vision for his country which he tought would make China great, he was a visionary and an ideologue. You don't have to agree with his vision to acknowledge he had one.

I disagree, I just heard this phrase from you the first time just now, and I don't think it's self-explanatory.

It's unclear to me in what respect the opinions are "strong" if not one's conviction in them. To my mind a strong opinion is an opinion one is confident in.

Also it's unclear to me if/how/why this is better than "less opinions". Like is it better to have a "strong opinion weakly held" on topic X versus "My opinion is pending scientific research will answer this"?

A nitpick -- I actually have a pretty big distaste for maxims that have some cutesy rhyming/wordplay to them (in this case it's X y, !X z, X = strong).

I was waiting to see a mention of SCOTTeVEST. https://www.scottevest.com. Their raison d'être is to put interior pockets in every article of clothing.
The best way to test your "mental liquidity" is to think about some hypotheses that are outside the "Overton window" or even outright taboo.

"What if ***** were true? Surely it can't be true. If it were, that would be terrible."

That's motivated reasoning. Remember that the truth of any hypothesis is not influenced by how much you want it to be true, or false. Some hypotheses are deeply uncomfortable, but you should nonetheless strive to believe the truth. Or rather, what is best supported by the evidence. Even if it hurts.
thanks. I used Netguard before and its great as long as you dont need to use a real VPN... because it acts as a VPN itself to get the job done, not sure about Glasswire
Thanks for asking! So the movie itself is framed as the reminiscing of the man of this story, we are seeing his memories. He uses so much clever cinemtography, like framing most shots through windows or bars to give it separation from the viewer, making us almost peeping toms into the most beautiful(might not be the right word, but you understand) part of someone's life. Things like never seeing the partners of the main characters, their explanation of where the significant other being so vague and thick with subtext ( I think I remember that they subtly indicate that their partners are also having an affair together, even though it's practically impossible.) serving this sense of isolation fcrom the rest off he world, kind of like only now is real - which fits with reminiscing , to me.

What I remember most is that the female lead had a few outfits that had multiple copies of it in different colors made, and during scenes they change from one to another without attention - just like memories will fudge details but keep the larger bits intact.

I had never thought of cinema like that, making choices that the audience just feels instead of catch consciously.

I don't remember the movie, but I know that there is a police interogation that was filmed 3 times, where once the cop doesn't know the truth, one where he does and one where he is purposefully neutral, and the scene mixes all three to make the spectator feel the same sense of confusion as someone does during an interogation.

Edit: or in Dr Strangelove, where the table is green like a poker table so the actors feel the absurdity, but you don't see it because it's black and white, so it only comes through through their acting.
Deployment platform – deploy your projects

A long-term Thailand resident American friend of mine calls 7-11 The Temple. In either metaphor, it's impressive how much of this experience seems to be associated with the door: upbeat jingle, sigh of relief, flood of air conditioning, plethora of choice in restorative beverages, altered lighting, altered standard of cleanliness, mental zone-out, expectation of slow browse with punctuating transaction ritual.

Considering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway_effect and the recent popularization of WFH, I wonder if interior design for next-gen houses and apartments will have a "save door" or "restore room", and if so whether it will grow out of and/or replace the kitchen or bedroom or lounge or some combination thereof (as kitchens, appliance collections and cooking skills shrink) and whether it will be proximal to the front door or some corner nook, or if a view and thus connectivity to outside spaces would kill it. Feels like it almost has to be a fully enclosed space, like a walk-in wardrobe.

Probably a retail design psychologist could weigh in.
I found this review of Taipei to be similar to Hemmingway’s The Sun Also Rises. The casual indifference of the characters toward eachother while living in a world where they are unchallenged and taken care of by inheritance or parents.

It’s a unique type of person and scene until you run into it in real life. The connecting insight between Hemingway and Taipei to me is that this scene has actually be around for 100+ years. Kids with trust funds who travel to hip places, drink and do the latest drugs, have a thrill, but never invest in themselves, eachother, or a future.

They just wander aimlessly, seeking pleasure in a world that won’t kill them off, but won’t help them along the path to growing up either. They inhabit a thin envelope of a superficial universe that not happens to play well you YouTube.

It’s a sort of profound thing… man. Or not.
I've used several marmot jackets for the same purpose, but I like how much thought they've put into the pockets on that edc jacket.

Sure, but the ABI isn't stable and you're expected to recompile all your dependencies in one go. You can make a C-style ABI for your crate but that's not very common.
You should absolutely never release a commercial binary to public with debug symbols.

There are ways to convert symbol names on the crash report server, so the claim that you can get better crash report with debug symbols is not correct.

Why you shouldn’t release debug symbols:

* It helps patent/copyright trolls litigate you easier.

* Makes it easier to reverse engineer your binaries, which will help malicious actors and competitors.

* You might lose some trade secrets.

If you are a startup owner, please ensure to never release commercial/close-source binaries with debug symbols. You can thank me later.
The CIA quite possibly/probably still do terrible things, but they probably don't do quite so many batshit insane things any more, just because somebody probably checks the expense reports these days.
> 2003 Iraq’s WMD Programs

> Saddam failed to cooperate with UN inspectors because he was continuing to develop weapons of mass destruction.

Apparently this "analysis" was written in 2009, a good 6 years after the start of the Second Iraq War, and still the CIA followed the political manoeuvre of not challenging their leaders' lies about Iraq's WMD.

This is one of the most vulnerable points of any "intelligence" agency, i.e. they're at the whims of those holding actual power in any given State.
That game stopped me from being hyped for video game releases after.
the checked baggage weight limit isn't for takeoff weight, it's for the handlers
Those analogs are covered under exigent circumstances. But there is no imminent danger attached to a hacking case. This feels more like "somebody stole my briefcase, which is justification to search my home without a warrant".
Or how about adding a transparent roof to the container systems...
A lot of airlines do have max weight limits on hand luggage, around 8-10kg. They almost never check, but I did get caught out once.

I travel with a laptop, portable monitor, iPad pro, switch, GoPro, moonlander keyboard, mouse, bunch of plug adapters and a multiway extension. All of that adds up to 9kg when you include the bag base weight.

One time when I was flying from Istanbul to Mauritius, they weighed the bag and it was a big headache. Eventually someone else came along and just let me on since it was all battery powered stuff that couldn't go in the hold.

Charging by weight doesn't make more room in the overhead storage though. Going by volume does, and many airlines do check volume. Especially in Europe, I've seen Ryanair and easyJet stop people many times.

If you look on Amazon, you'll see entire ranges of bags optimized for Ryanair free carry-on limits.
