> I guess the stigma that only poor people (And we Mexicans are poor you know haha) take the bus is pretty alive in some parts of the US.

Because it's mostly true.

It's not _always_ true and we shouldn't hold prejudices, but it would be just as wrong (though not as un-PC) to claim that public transit was used equally across income levels, racial/ ethnic checkboxes, etc.

"Americans who are lower-income, black or Hispanic, immigrants or under 50 are especially likely to use public transportation on a regular basis, Pew Research Center data show."

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2016/04/07/who-relie...

The bigger problem for most folks (not your racist co-worker) is the crime, drug use and general anti-social behavior on public transit. This will vary by city/ transit district, but it's gotten much worse in the last decade (after it had gotten much better for the previous two).
Is bigger better when it comes to wind power?
While true, I don’t see how suburban America could ever become walkable without just scrapping the project and starting fresh. The foundations to build on are hopelessly incompatible with pedestrian life.

Who is going to pay for the creation of those quizzes? Amazon bought Goodreads to minimize its own liabilities, but otherwise it doesn’t want to invest any more money in the site.

Morever, Goodreads doesn’t just cover a few popular fiction or non-fiction works for which a short multiple-choice quiz could be realistically created. It allows you to catalogue and review any book that has an ISBN. As someone involved in an academic field, my Goodreads activity is mainly obscure works of scholarship from university presses.
Why confused? Overmind basically does the same thing as Foreman - runs processes from your Procfile. So maybe you have a web: and worker: process - Overmind will run them for you.

The difference between Overmind and foreman is that Overmind runs processes with tmux, which makes it a lot easier to interact with them. Plus there's lots of extra config that foreman doesn't have.
Cool! My kids are making Pikmin with perler beads right now. Maybe I'll transcribe their creations.
Are you Italian?

I was shocked, about 15 years ago when some Italian friends (who were very drug familiar) said how much they liked that they could buy Benadryl (diphenhydramine) w/o a prescription here in the USA.

I was like "????*" this is not a party drug.

(note: there are folks who use it in massive overdoses as an ACh deliriant [1] but that's not my cup of tea)

At the moment the plan is just AoPS. Looks good to me, I bought all the books. Seems to be roughly up to what I learned in high school, starting towards the end of primary school.

My kid plays around with math a lot. Asks interesting questions. Nothing has taken shape yet, so I just try to answer. But also try to get him to work through the AoPS. He likes it actually, there's always a question in there that he doesn't get and he likes the challenge.

What I don't really hear anything about is how to get the kid to self-ignite. He did this with chemistry. He knows the periodic table, he knows what the electron shells are, what acids and bases are. He asks interesting questions. I even hooked him up with my friend who is a PhD so he can ask his weird questions about molecules. On the math side, he just needs a little nudge. Same with programming. I just get the feeling he's not far from simply studying everything himself, I simply don't know what to do to spark it.
American Spirit advertises themselves as tobacco without extra nicotine or other additives added. Not the same thing, but they're...trying.

And no, they're probably not trying to cure cancer in the slightest. My grandpa was studying in the 1960s and 1970s, and big tobacco tried to fight the laboratory he worked for. The important thing he taught me before he died, from his research, was that nicotine itself interferes with your blood platelets. It's unhealthy beyond the particulates and fumes that we think of as cancerous, because nicotine is fundamentally bad for the blood. That means vaping, dip, everything affects your cardiovascular system.
This isn't an immutable law of the universe. It just demonstrates that there is ridiculous demand for walkable, pedestrian-friendly cities, and, predictably and demonstrably if you've ever been to any city council meeting ever, not nearly enough supply. Everyone always says "not in MY back yard!" and then complains that downtowns are expensive. You cannot have it both ways.
A couple of places where hardware still has some flavour:

- I have an Apple Watch Ultra (https://www.apple.com/au/apple-watch-ultra/) which has two chunky hardware buttons and a scrollwheel. That provides some good interaction opportunities.

- Modern digital cameras continue to explore hardware interfaces. I would love a ruggedised iPhone optimised for photography: thicker for better holding, battery life and to give room for a larger lens, with hardware dials and buttons for no-look photography.
My personal trainer once told me that athletes that become alcoholics belong to either endurance sports of various kinds or to archer or pistol shooting. The shooting sportsmen use small amounts of alcohol to reduce tremor [1], and small amounts of alcohol became bigger with time.

[1] https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jhe1972/14/2/14_2_99/_p...

The situation in endurance sports is very different. Very elevated count of mitochondria in cells of endurances athletes make their whole body a liver, basically - these mitochondria organelles get rid of alcohol metabolites during sleep very effectively. Top level endurance athlete drinks to heart content and does not experience a hangover the next day. It is all good and well for some time, athlete can drink everything for a long time, until he has his body physiologically depend on the alcohol, now this endurance athlete is an alcoholic.

I saw an example of alcoholic former endurance athlete once in my life. It was not pretty. He drank anything he can find (or what he brought in) and sleep the work day throughout, delivering nothing.
Yup. You can even put lead in their family’s water on base and there isn’t shit they can do about it. Leadership is easy in a system when broadly accepted ethical and moral norms don’t factor into your decision making.
No they have contracts with all of them because of acquisitions and attempts to be less reliant on just the data centers. Google cloud was another attempt to move some workloads or extend into it. But like I said earlier, nothing significant. Real work is done on the data center machines

Tell HN: Purism Gitlab and forums both down
I don't really keep up with the company anymore given how sketchy they've become, but I noticed that my RSS feed for their Pureboot firmware repos wasn't loading and discovered that their GitLab instance is down (source.puri.sm). Then when I went to check their forums (forums.puri.sm) to find out more, that's down too.

Might be nothing but kinda curious that the outages happened simultaneously, given they don't seem to be doing too well as of late.

Personally, I'd just open my laptop

Exactly. I refuse to use my phone for everyday computing. The screen is too small and/or doesn't have enough pixels to display enough data at a time. I normally use a 4K screen.

I liken using a phone for everyday computing to be like using 'keyhole surgery' for surgery on the heart. You need to be able to see a job as a whole not just a tiny portion of it.

And don't get me started on how big and cumbersome today's phones are. I went though several decades where mobile phones shrank from being a heavy house brick to a 'chocolate bar' that fitted easily into a shirt pocket. Only for the progression to start going all the way back to today's monstrosities.

Show HN: AI Support chatbot capable of replacing ~80% of the staff
Hey, citizens of HN!

I and my team have developed a bot for technical support.
We set ourselves the task of reaching a new level of chatbots. The thing is that nowadays bots often redirect customers to support staff when a question was not found in the bot's presets database or the customer requires some kind of interaction with the company (for example, wants to buy a product). We have solved this problem.

1. the bot is capable of answering complex questions that require analyzing the company's knowledge base (especially the technical part).
2. the possibility to leave a request for some action was introduced. For example, a customer can leave a request for connection to a tariff plan . An example of such a bot for the fictitious company BananaCom is given on the site, you can test it. After the request is made, the company receives the necessary information.

Of course, if the client really wants to talk to an employee (if he can understand that he is talking to a bot), he will be transferred to the employee. When to transfer to an employee is a question to be discussed with a certain company, so the client will try to answer all your questions on the site if possible.
For my own personal experience, the worst part about drinking regularly - and I mean nightly if we're being at all honest - seems to be the people you meet. Having cut down drastically and switched from Volume Drinking kind of venues to Boutique Cocktail Venues I find I'm spending my time around a smaller, higher quality group of people while at the same time drinking less and enjoying my few drinks much more.

[EDIT]
I suppose in hanging out with drunks every evening, it normalized the idea of being drunk every night. What I was doing seemed normal because everyone I hung out with was doing the same thing. Thats a good way to start a bad habit.
Maybe we could see it from the other direction, there shouldn't be perpetual income. You're paid to act, paid for writing, paid for making music. I don't know how it could work, but people want new movies and new music so some mechanism could pay for future work more directly than charging for each play of an existing bit of art

Clever and funny game. As a non-native speaker, it took me two hours to finish the game. The last word was a bit difficult to find!

It would be great to highlight the unfound and revealed words on the tab screen. It is hard to find and eye tiring. Background colors are sometimes too flashy and there is some contrast issue between the text and the background color.

It would be great to have the picture in along with the text in the tab screen.

Sometimes I am a bit frustrated when a word is revealed, and I know I was at one letter of this earlier in the game. I am not sure how this frustration could be reduced.

Thanks, and appreciated.

Paywalls certainly seem associated with a few declines (NYT, WaPo), but not others. E.g., NPR and CBC.ca both fell off a cliff in 2022, PBS fell after 2008. None impose paywalls.

Might be a pattern there, could just be noise.
That's exactly what I'm talking about. The space is for drivers. The rules governing the space are tuned for the predictability and convenience of drivers. The light rail is just a slower, less maneuverable, very timidly driven car that we're all sharing.

It wasn't like that in The Netherlands. Urban spaces where the LRVs operate have few cars and fewer traffic lights. The train moves like it means business and anything in its way scatters. As a passenger, it feels like you & your journey matter. On Muni it's like you're in a DMV waiting room.
A diagram that made things click for me is putting different abstractions on a grid showing the different combinations of high level contracts they fulfil.

Every combination of push/pull, read/write, and sync/async can exist and makes sense.

The Go interface is “sync pull read” which is “Readable”.

Then “Reader” is “sync push read”, etc…

Another axis is “single item”, “sequence of items”, or “contiguous array chunks of items”. These are “property”, “iterator”, and “stream” respectively of synchronous. They’re “task”, “asynchronous iterator”, and “async stream” if non-blocking. Etc…
A weak nitpick, no substantial responses to the inconvenient facts provided, instead make it go away is the typical hn style, just like joe biden, just pretend it doesnt exist, censor, deny, and lie lie lie.
Closer to where I work, over the four-year period ending one year ago, we had one tree per year fall during the Winter season. The period ended when the campus arborist did a detailed check of all the trees in the immediate area, and a number were removed.

In the wider area, this part Winter had multiple trees fall. Not tree limbs, entire trees. One came down in front of a minivan carrying a local bus driver & his supervisor. I've got pictures.

I'm a pedestrian: I own neither a car nor a bike. But I understand why some trees are removed. I don't think the trees here are not watered deeply enough, so they don't have a deep hold on the ground.

GHB is horrendously addictive and has absolutely brutal withdrawal symptoms. It's drastically worse than alcohol in those two senses.

Plus overdoing it even marginally (as in taking 50-100% more than the "recommended" dose) results in you going into a complete coma, which can happen with alcohol but more like 5-10x.
Learn to drink water, it takes some time to get used to it and appreciate it, but it's so much better than that <expletive>.

Attorney for Samsung.

My main recollection was that the opening statements from the lead Samsung attorney weren't that charismatic or convincing to me. I was surprised it just wasn't that... Good.

Years later I suspect the strategy of Samsung (which certainly worked, if it was the approach) was to build a good case for appeal, rather than to focus on winning the trial itself. As it turned out, apple won the trial but Samsung won the appeals.
Even if that where true (note that the wind is not pushing the blade directly away, but sideways), the tip of the blade is not responsible for most of the force (since it mostly depends on the cross section area, intuitively).

In other words, wind pushing the middle of the blade could accelerate the tip, even if the tip only produces drag.

Honestly 66% is pretty good. Australia has compulsory voting, which I think is better (they have > 90% turnout). Canada was 62.2% in the last election (and they paid for it - imho), that’s roughly in line with the US. The global average is right in the middle at 63.8%.

That’s better than I thought.
Adding even MORE to the insult is this part from the article: "many agencies will simply remove pedestrian facilities to reduce the cost of compliance". I see that so often: having to cross the damn intersection three times just to continue across, and all the light timings favor cars. It's a big middle finger.
Nope. “Let people break the law” is the new standard.
All that means is that pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods are in demand, which is great! What if we built more and more of them?
Sure thing chief.

Historically, that about sums up the opium trade run by the British as well. Work Indians to death by indentured slavery, forcing them to give up food crops to grow opium. Sell in China. Costs nothing to make. Sell it for vast sums. It was addictive. (I don't know about brand loyalty, though.)
A "pre filter" could classify and filter the prompts without affecting the actual generative models.

But this would make APIs increasingly annoying and unreliable with false positives and such. It seems like another advantage for local LLMs.
I've spent over 20 years running DNS servers, web proxies etc. I also happily run quite a lot of IoT crap. I have two VLANs at home - THINGS and SEWER. SEWER is for stuff that really scares me! SEWER has layer 2 (MAC) isolation.

For a laugh, on my laptop (Arch BTW) I block one of my browsers from all external access except via a local Squid proxy with bump n splice - man in the middle, but at least I am the man.

In general I am an optimist. I think we are going through growing pains, akin to dealing with a teenager ("I hate you"). Mr Google and the other school bullies will be gradually brought into line and we will all be gradually dragged into the future. It may well not be as envisioned by anyone. However the climate is a bit of a snag and that might be more important.

We live in a time when my grand daughters are able to cavort on a Chinese media platform and multiple American ones to the entire world as an audience. They look pretty cool whilst doing it - they have media and make up skills and more. I used be able to flick beer mats or something.

This article isn't saying suburbs are a drain on cities. It's saying that cities have overextended themselves because of skewed incentives imposed on them by government policies (the main one being printing money to fund real estate development). The solution to that is not to abolish suburbs. It's for the government to stop imposing skewed incentives.
So change it. Drain the swamp for real.
> Coca Cola is one of the main plastic polluters of our oceans.

Weird. This source[1] claims that the majority of ocean plastic pollution is from fishing equipment.

>Companies accused of “zero progress” on reducing plastic waste, with Coca-Cola ranked No 1 for most littered products

>https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/aug/11/coca-cola-m...

Both of these are methodologically flawed because they only sample litter that can be identified. Plastic bottles are readily identifiable and can be attributed to a company. The same can't be said for tires or cigarette butts.

"Software Interrupt (SWI) functions are functions that run in Supervisor Mode of ARM7™ and ARM9™ core and are interrupt protected."

also

"This means that the processor state changes to ARM, the processor mode changes to Supervisor, the CPSR is saved to the Supervisor Mode SPSR, and execution branches to the SWI vector"

I'll have to go into that further. I was under the impression it was similar to the x86 OUT opcode. So is it more akin to a "direct syscall" then?

They have, check out IQOS. Its been huge in Japan (and other parts of asia?) for years now. It heats the cigarette but doesnt actually burn. Same as the “dry herb vapes” that get used for cannabis.

Theyve started making moves to roll out it further internationally - big tobacco has been pushing “smoke free” nicotine products for a few years now.
I assert it is misguided to cling to any view of these as a fundamental truth. They are modeling tools. As such, use them for their usefulness. Don't chase truths with them, at they are tools, not truths.

Elite endurance athlete here. I definitely experience hangovers on the rare occasion that I drink.

That said, was just on a cycling trip where one of the riders drank two bottles of wine to himself and was flying the next day.

Kind of like how the slander of "groomers" is being hurled at any gender/sexual-orientation the speaker finds distasteful.

That flexibility is also a reason for building bus routes: they can be re-routed as needed due to construction or changing rider patterns, buses can be replaced (improved) without having to retrofit the entire system, new ones can be added where needed, old ones can be removed where not, etc.

Central planners might like the idea that they can choose which neighborhoods will succeed, but count me among those who think they can F themselves.

Buses work. They're cheaper than every kind of rail. They're more flexible. But planners and meddlers want control.
