> How would an increase in SUVs (which is a national trend) cause this result?

It's going to depend a lot on local pedestrian habits and on the available infrastructures: as a thought experiment say in State A people are never walking in the street, while in State B they are walking a lot, then the national increase in SUV will have no impact on pedestrian death in State A but will have on State B.
I'm guessing it's a bad joke about the errors made by self-driving cars.
I hadn't spotted this, but you're right. It's actually slightly worse - to justify this, the author links to another article titled "Fatal Pedestrian Crashes Increasingly Involve SUVs, Study Finds".

I say this is off because an increase in proportion of SUV involvement is primarily an indictator of popularity of SUVs, rather than anything about SUVs being more deadly.

I happen to believe, fairly uncontroversially, I think, that SUVs are far more deadly than a regular car, hitting adults in the chest instead of the legs, and children in the head instead of the chest, but I also think poor journalism is pretty dangerous, and worth investigating.
Sheesh. It really is now or never... and by that I mean the yesterday before yesterday.
There's too much padding in the article.

TL;DR Lead is bad for you; shoppers don't like turmeric that isn't yellow; processors dust off-colour turmeric with lead chromate to make it look yellow.

Yeah, I thought it was a generic Android feature because both MIUI and my current ROM has it, but I'm not so sure anymore. I can't reproduce it in the stock emulator so I guess the feature either hasn't made it to upstream Android yet or it has been removed at some point
You can fork(2) in monolithic applications if you want address space separation.
Only if this is true. If the increase at night then it's unlikely to be because of SUVs, unless there's correlating evidence that shows it's states where SUVs are driven at night more.

If there were evidence found that is linked to nighttime, e.g. because more people are crossing roads at night than before, or wearing less night-visible clothing than before, then that would be the place to start.
I think you strongly overestimate the competence of the average barkeep, many are there for the seasonal job or just to fill a gap between jobs. Not that there's anything wrong with either one of those, but it's good to know beforehand so you don't have a drink absolutely butchered. I can't even begin to count the times I've been served a "skinny bitch" that's just vodka and soda water.
Both Netscape Communicator and Opera did it as well.
> You have tried being teporarily sober, but you have not truly seen alcohol culture from outside.

I used not to be a drinker (not total teetotaler, but would never drink when out) well into my 30s. Now I do drink.

I much prefer drinking.

I do think that "alcohol culture" means different things to different people in different places and at different ages. To generalize massively, I don't think much of the stereotypical way way 19yos from the UK drink when in Ibiza.

But I do enjoy 4 or 5 cocktails or whiskys in a good bar (which for me isn't one with loud music incidentally) with good company.

> I mean which task is so complex one can't just automate it with simple scripting and non critical if it goes wrong to the point of letting an AI LLM do it?

Many of the things that get to deal with unstructured human inputs. Translation, summarization, data extraction, etc. The choice isn't between "reliable code" and "unreliable LLM", but rather "unreliable LLM" vs. nothing at all.

But I think more important aspect is that LLMs are getting quite good at coding - meaning they can be used to automate all the tasks that you could automate with scripting, but it wouldn't be simple, or you don't know the relevant tooling well enough, or you just can't be arsed to do it yourself.

For example, I've recently been using GPT-4 to automate little things in my Emacs. GPT-4 actually sucks at writing Emacs Lisp, but even having to correct it myself is much less effort than writing those bits from scratch, as the LLM saves me the step of figuring out how to do it. This is enough to make a difference between automating and not automating those little things.

Cars are pretty sad topic

It is sad how many good safety and driving easiness features modern cars have, yet majority of people do not have access to them due to price

It is also crazy how unreliable cars actually are. 20 years old car means some surprise every 3rd or 4th drive
I can imagine that 'sort-by-date' searches are both significantly more expensive for google than regular searches, and used rather infrequently relative to their main search. As such it's no surprise they would end up on the cutting board at some point.
> A martini only has two ingredients

I think that's the point :)

Just like you'd test an Italian chef by ordering pasta al pomodoro.
Visibility, maybe? As interior comfort took priority in design, those beefier body columns resulted in larger blind spots. Also, some SUVs are just massive, and might suffer from similar forward-visibility limitations that modern pickup trucks (classified as "light trucks," oddly) are getting slammed for right now, namely the front end being so high that the driver can't see a 3 foot object 16 feet in front of them.
That looks nice, I wonder how it could be integrated into a CMS with auto-generated titles for certain articles.
And that's just fine. Too many people make themselves go to places like that to be "in", even though it goes against what they want or what's best for them. Same with e.g. open offices.

But others thrive in environments, and that's fine too. TL;DR, to each their own, but nobody should force the one onto the other, or themselves. I mean yeah, on occasion, exception, compromise, have to have been there to know, that kinda thing.
In some cases, the art may also be stolen to divert resources from other investigations, or, for that matter, to use as a bargaining chip with authorities.

(When one of Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' paintings was last stolen, it was to force the Norwegian police to divert resources from the investigation of an armed robbery which had been conducted a few months earlier.)

I can also see it being a good bargaining chip to have should you find yourself under prosecution.

"Oh, it so happens I may be able, through my contacts, to influence whoever stole this priceless work of art to return it to the owners, where it rightfully belongs... Well, at least if I am somewhat motivated, so, what's in it for me?"
GPT-4 apparently does well on medical exams. Replace pharmacists to save money, don't need much of an error rate to get 100k dead.

Have it design a nuclear reactor, saves money, you don't notice the flaw until it's too late. Chernobyl wasn't malicious, it was in part a cost-saving exercise; how many died from the fossil fuels that were burned because of the fear of nuclear power after the incident?

How many died needlessly in Vietnam, before human journalists saw and reported on the human cost, and what happens when reporters are replaced with LLMs — to save money — that physically cannot see things for themselves?

That said, 100k is in the awkward range that political decisions regularly lead to — at most a single month's life expectancy in a nation of 100 million — so if I'd been you I would have asked about 1M+. At a mere hypothetical 100k dead, it may easily still be part of a larger scenario which saves lives overall, much like how the actual atomic bombs were an alternative to a protracted conventional war (and given the attempted coup to prevent surrender after the second, I consider the hypothetical used to justify the bomb to at least be plausible, though I am no historian and don't want to give the impression of certainty).

They'd probably eat more than 25 different edible roots/tubors alone regularly, plus berries, fruits, leaves, and honey and meat/animal products it would run into hundreds, its surprising how much around us is edible that we no longer see as food.

> I can’t speak for anyone in particular from the Gen Z or Alpha generation.

I'm just barely young enough to be a zoomer, so maybe my view will be interesting. From my perspective my ability to find "good" music is better than it ever would have been in the past.

I find music suggestions from forums, review sites, subreddits, friends, online people I follow, etc. Then I can immediately listen to it with no effort or expense. I found my favorite album of all time from a random comment someone left on an internet thread.

To me the idea of having to wait until a local radio station played a song, and then make a leap of faith on purchasing the album seems like such a worse experience.

Similarly, in terms of creating music, it has never been easier to learn, create and distribute your own music. The rise of the internet has made it so much easier to find a niche communities of people making incredibly diverse and experimental music together.

In my mind, streaming sites have two roles and do a very good job at both:

- make all music as accessible as possible

- suggest music for people who want to "passively" listen to music, which is how the average person has always listened to music (and that's a completely legitimate thing to want and enjoy)

I see a lot of "the death of cinema", "the death of music", "the death of video games" takes around, and I can't help but feel like these views come from people who have lost track of where the "niche" communities has moved on to and then feel despair when to them it looks like the "mainstream" is all that exists.
I find your response very perplexing. You make this great analogy with sugar (that's really good! I'll make sure to use it in the future) and then you just kinda.. Dismiss it with a "well I'm already addicted to that" ???

I'd encourage you to take that analogy further and think about

- sugar is significantly more addictive. Almost everyone basically craves sweet things regularly. Unless predisposed to alcoholism the vast majority of people do not crave alcohol. If you start to drink and you are thinking about getting a drink when idle at work - then you have an issue and should probably stop. I get the sense from your response that you think this is the default - but I can assure you it's not. At the moment I drink about once every couple of weeks. During the pandemic I was very busy and didn't drink at all. At no point did I "want a drink". Alcoholism is a very serious issue that affect many, but for the vast majority of society this isn't a direct concern (though it seems to affect European countries a lot harder)

- sugar is consumed regularly and is vastly worse for your health that a few drinks once a week or something to that effect

- sugar has basically no social benefits for you. And basically no longer term benefits. There are no sugar orgies I'm sorry to say. It just momentarily makes you a bit happier

You can continue to not drink and life will pass you by. If you're in an alcohol consuming society you will just make fewer connections with people, make fewer friends and fall in love less. But it's doable. I think back on all my close friends - and if I didn't drink EVER I think I'd estimate I'd have 30-50% fewer friends. It's not the end of the world - but it's a significant difference. Most people are shy and take time to open up (myself included). Maybe you connect a bit, but then life makes you sail-by. I now live in a society where people drink a lot less and I constantly make acquaintances that just don't stick. A night out with some drinks doesn't fix everything, but it definitely gives people a chance to connect in a way that's much harder organically. You could argue that "real" "true" friends will connect regardless - it's probably true.. Like 60% of the time? So you leave 40% on the table

My own mental analogy would be like if you insisting everyone reach out to yo by email b/c you're worried about your privacy. Sure you'd still make some friends and still have a life.. But most people won't even bother - and they'll have their orgies on Facebook without you

It depends on noise level. You’re right though generally. One can safely listen to 85dB for 8 hours before hearing loss starts. Up that to 91dB and you have just two hours. 97dB quarters it again and one can be exposed to only 30 mins. But once one gets to loud sounds like sirens, gunshots, firecrackers in the 120-150dB range onset of permanent hearing loss can be instant.
EVE had some 2020 Guinness records. I'm sure it was time dilated to all hell but I doubt anyone else has come close to this.

> Unlike most email clients, Vivaldi Mail does [...]– automatically detecting mailing lists and mail threads, as well as offering a powerful search feature.

What are these mail clients that don't do threads or have search? The only mail client I've encountered in the last 10 years without threading was the mobile ProtonMail client.

Also, every point in that list is either of questionable value (if I've already selected the text, there's not huge barrier to just pasting it in an email manually) or applies to all email clients running in a browser.

The only advantage I can think of for having an integrated browser/mail client is not needing a pinned tabbed to always have email notifications when the browser is open, and funnily enough it's not even mentioned in the article.

Why would one ever choose to own a motorcycle in a place like Hong Kong with its utter absence of places to ride and excellent round the clock public transport system? Is it the fun of waiting in 100 degree weather under hot air vents of bus and private car air conditioners? Unless one works in delivery gig economy, there just don’t seem to be any good reasons.

Thankfully there are fewer motorcycles here than in many Asian countries (Taiwan!), but sadly they still exist and in this climate ear infections from constantly wearing earplugs or headphones with ANC are easy to get and not fun.

I recently heard one of the more interesting insights about Silicon Valley I'd heard in a while. It explained something I’d wondered about for years.

But I can't tell you what it was.

There's too much downside in sharing any opinion that could easily be misinterpreted online. Even facts are dangerous to share if they don’t align with what people want to believe.

There's a lot of concern about "fake news" lately. That is a real problem, but there's also the opposite problem: true things that aren't being said.

Some of the most useful things I've learned about startups over the years are also things I'd never share publicly. Not because the ideas are necessarily controversial in their own right, but because anyone could twist them to seem controversial if they were sufficiently motivated to. And when that happens I immediately regret having said anything. It's a massive distraction. I have two young kids, and I have hundreds of startups to keep track of. I don't have time to fight with people who are trying to misunderstand me.

Anything can last forever if you maintain it. At some point it's really a rebuild with nothing of the original structure, but that's debating semantics. The problem is the effort/cost to do so. Concrete and steel structures are maintenance free for more than their architecture remains acceptable by ever changing standards of living. Wood, even laminated, requires very frequent maintenance. And not just for aesthetics and insulation but for the structural integrity to remain intact.

If you can because of the nature of your work, move out of the city and suburbs, back to the country.

Abandon the idea of isolated nuclear family living towards more social small communities. Suburban life is terrible for every single happiness metric.

Embrace as much nature as you can. A city park stroll on Sunday ain't enough.

Many jobs still benefit from close proximity to other people and businesses, but cities have no business being 10+ million people and constantly growing, when many of us just spend most of our time behind a laptop screen.

We're at the dawn of an enormous social and civil reorganisation after the massive migration towards cities started in the Industrial Revolution, yet no-one is spending much time thinking about it. The pandemic has massively accelerated the disillusion of city life by knowledge workers, but the only voice we can hear are bosses wanting the return of the status quo, with everybody back in their downtown offices. I would expect more open push-back from us than just grumbling about it on forums.

Maybe it's only me, it feels like it's overdue but we're dragging our collective feet to reimagine better connection between the modern human and our natural roots, especially in the nascent era of climate awareness and loneliness epidemic caused by modern city life.
I think the left most adjective is a modifier of the right most. So hunter gatherers are primarily gatherers that also hunt.
People have used drugs since time immemorial and even "natural" drugs can kill you. For example dying from esophogeal rupture during those purging ceremonies where toxins are ingested to induce profuse vomiting.

Though there were no firearms, there certainly were weapons and murder. Even human sacrifice.

Before there were cars, being kicked by a horse was a significant risk. Or being killed by the animals you hunt, like mammoths and other large mammals.

And I'm not sure what you mean by suggesting "household accidents". Accidents were possible before too. And way probably more lethal on average because there were no antibiotics, soap, or blood transfusions.

There are two aspects here I think.

Modularity in terms of code, and modularity in terms of deployment lifecycle.

As you say most dependency problems can be handled at the level of the code, depending on how you structure the builds etc. ( personally I think automatically pulling in dependencies is a mistake - it should be slightly painful to add a new dependency ).

For me, the reason for microservice like deployment is having a separately lifecycle - being able to start,stop, update separately from other services.

Another aspect which I don't think is talked about enough, is that every deployment has a copy of the code ( in whatever executable form ) - this means I can deploy version 1 of code A in service X and version 2 in service Y at the same time if I need to - ie I can incrementally update the system.

So one way to think about what should be deployed together ( or not ) is thinking not about the code per se - but also the natural deployment cycle.
That's super interesting. You feel you are connecting and making friends at the same pace? I moved from a very drink-heavy society to one where people drink very sparingly. I now often make aquaintences and have the feeling that if only I went out for some drink with them then we could potentially be friends. It never happens, and life makes up sail past each other

Maybe I'd still not connect :)) but my gut feeling is that I could at least make 30% more friends if not significantly more
