That's exactly what I thought. Jim Keller had a lot of deep insights that he was boiling down to simple terms. It was obvious he had thought about these ideas for a long time and that what he was saying came from a lot of experience. He would talk about things like switching lanes in driverless cars being a matter of ballistics.

Lex Friedman just interrupted him in a whiny voice to say "it's not thaaat simple". He basically just got in Jim Keller's way. It would be like someone interrupting a john carmack presentation every few minutes to say "I don't know about all that". It was a shame.
They'll need to work on the cartel / illegal immigration problem if they want this to happen. I'm still surprised some kind of "economic zone" south of the border hasn't been created to allow US companies to engage with non-citizen workers from mexico. Seems like a win-win.

In 2023 many of my friends from asia and india who went through the process to legally become citizens or acquire work authorization have voiced highly negative opinions of the current admin and migrants who cross the border illegally.
Which I am sure will be used as a proof that infrastructure investment into anything else but cars is a bad idea, in due time.
This was incandescent bulbs.

For LEDs the issue is the driver boards, they get crammed into the tiny socket and live a very, very hot life. Doesn't matter that the LED has 100000 hour lifespan or whatever they write on the box when the driver dies after 5000 hours.

Cats are VERY trainable - if you actually take the time to train them.

You need to teach your cat how to play with you (how much biting/scratching your skin can take). Cats do this automatically with each other, so you just mimic their behavior for "everything is OK" and "now you've gone too far".

You also need to be consistent in your behavior with them. Randomly attacking them (even if just for play) just teaches them that taking random swipes at others is OK (which it is not). You also make it almost impossible for them to predict your behavior, which freaks them out and leads to all sorts of neuroses. Cats like predictability. There is a whole social dance around "let's play!" that you would be wise to learn.

Cats and humans have very different cultures. They are able to learn a little about human culture, but most of the responsibility is upon you to learn cat culture.

I don't see any reason to try and normalize the murse now that the briefcase has been slowly beaten into irrelevance and backpacks are far more comfortable.

Also why do some people carry their wallet in their back pockets instead of the roomier front pockets? Seems like you have to shift stuff around if you ever want to sit and are just begging to be pickpocketed
> A polyfill is available that allows you use to use it in browsers.

This isn’t a polyfill. Polyfills are about implementing new native stuff on old environments, but no browser is going to be including this any time soon, and certainly not in this form—

> <script type="text/typogram">

This should use <pre> instead, e.g. <pre class="typogram">. It’s content, not scripting, and if the JavaScript isn’t run (for whatever reason—JS is less reliable than people often think, especially third-party JS, even on environments that don’t try to block it) you’d like the diagram to still be visible in some form.

(Retaining the <pre> would also be a great improvement for selecting text—the current arrangement of “place single-character <text> elements” is almost useless for copy and paste (losing spaces and line breaks), which is the main reason I can imagine wanting such a thing. If character sizes and aspect ratios are a concern, control that stuff with scaling transforms or line-height, and detect and contain (e.g. <span style="overflow:visible;width:…">…</span>) individual characters that are falling out of the grid due to font fallback or bad ligatures like Nimbus Mono <https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/urw-base35-fonts/issues/3...>.)
Another example is stuff like this:

git fetch origin main

git reset —-hard origin/main

Why does the first “origin main” not need a slash and the second does? I’m sure there’s a “perfectly reasonable” explanation for it but it screams UX inconsistency to me.

In before people tell me that it makes perfect sense because that’s how Git works. Well duh, because Git was designed that way, not that the problem that it’s encapsulating demands it
Which kind of ruins bootable snapshots, as your kernel isn't part of them. You could have a massive esp with ~10 unified kernels each pointing at a different snapshot, with some kind of management script to handle them, but using GRUB seems easier than that.
The current Vegas loop is a fun little novelty, like a roller coaster, but it’s so bad as a model for transportation. If we’re already digging the tunnels PLEASE just make a subway. The teslas are so awkward, have to be steered in this small and curved space, require a driver, only fit a few passengers, and on and on. Vegas is in desperate need of higher volume train transportation between the airport, the Strip, and downtown—but I’m afraid this isn’t going to cut it.

We used to split logs into two buckets at work, one containing parsable log lines that used the expected format and schema and then the rest in the second one.

That way we could centralise all logs and detect different kinds of failures, like unexpected log lines appearing.
This is what you get when ideologies of hyperindividualism are presumed as natural law. It sounds like something out of some 80s lampooning cyberpunk movie.

The whole premise of cities is efficiency through collaborative infrastructure. It's really wild how badly we do it.
+1. I work with data from different applications dumped into one database. Analytics. Often you cannot enforce foreign key relations and you need to define these relationships. Jailer allows you to define these relationships and then you can explore the data by following you defined relationships. This is so useful when working in analytics. I have never actually used jailer to subset but to explore data and to demo data to users. You can quickly find a piece of data by filtering on the field and then retrieve related rows in other tables. This is way faster than writing the SQL out.

Thank you to the author(s). Great underated tool that takes a bit of effort to understand.
Low contrast text site.

I know there are workarounds, but we shouldn't need them.
It operates on database dumps. That alone is absurd. Database dumps are not public interfaces. And they are really not suitable for mass data processing.

You have a DBMS available, but all you ask from it is a dump of all data in a format that can only be used as an archive or transfer format. And yet you think you can process this data reasonably?
> With [_____] however, the overall trend would be you don't need the masses as much, so you don't need to placate most of them. They stop being useful.

This has been the progression of economies since steam power after ~1720.

Automation replaces a category of work, everyone decrees the loss of jobs, workers reallocate into new jobs, everyone is the richer for the increased output, repeat.

The only version of this that is substantially different would be 'AI eliminates all jobs below an education threshold, while not creating sufficient surpluses via efficiency gains that they can be supported by welfare'.

Ultimately, I predict UBI is going to look a lot like more general food stamps: standardized basic goods are free, and sufficient for {food, shelter, entertainment}.

We have the industrial capability now, if we so chose.
It's had 3 separate forks over the years: I was mainly basing my comment on the 2 predating the sale as I haven't actually tried Organic Maps (yet) - good to hear its actively developed. I had given up on the other two due to various challenges with the tile hosting. Must give this one a try.
The US economy is not stale, it is growing faster than Europe. I raise this comparison because the Euro block was the most similar thing to it in terms of development for the past decade. Other emerging economies have been developing faster and their percentage of trade with the US may be decreasing, but I don't see any sign of the US stalling.

“In 2008 the EU’s economy was somewhat larger than America’s: $16.2tn versus $14.7tn. By 2022, the US economy had grown to $25tn, whereas the EU and the UK together had only reached $19.8tn. America’s economy is now nearly one-third bigger. It is more than 50 per cent larger than the EU without the UK.”

One big benefit to fetch+rebase over pull is that you can create a backup branch before you rebase so that if you mess up the rebase too much, you can undo easily.

Another situation I've run into is that sometimes I've made a small change that's stacked on top of a lot of other branches. And if those other branches get squashed and merged, regular rebasing can be really annoying - it is often easier to cherry-pick (I use rebase --onto, but same idea) your changes onto main/master instead.

Quotes like this really make me wonder about the people who say them in the moment. Do they realize how ridiculous the words they are saying sound when put in this order?

“It’s not like a subway where you stop at a bunch of stops along the way,” said attorney Stephanie Allen, of law firm Kaempfer Crowell, who spoke on Boring Company’s behalf. “It goes directly from Point A to Point B and saves a lot of time in doing so.”
Right, and they do. But if I buy an eBook from Amazon, or I buy a physical book from Amazon, what is the difference in the services that Apple is providing, that explains why Apple wants their cut of the eBook but don't want their cut of the physical book?

The whole point of this comment thread is that there does seem to be some evidence it happened. The evidence is just being written off here because the odds are low.
Hopefully this will allow you to offboard crypto easier.

A lot of banks don't want to take incoming transfers if they see that they are from a crypto affiliated entity/bank, now you can (hopefully) have exchange wallet on binance/etc you want to cash otu -> Buy PaypalUsd on exchange -> Send PaypalUSD to PayPal account -> Swap stable for cash -> Send it out from Paypal account to normal account or keep it there. Again thats assuming Paypal plays ball with these exchanges.

So I guess any fee will basically be you paying Paypal to launder "crypto exposure" for you when moving back to fiat. The biggest way to make money in crypto right now is to figure out an offramp with capacity. There is a lot of people who have way too much crypto and want to offramp into fiat but can't.
How to write on the internet (& keep doing it)
I have a quest to ween from the chrome browser but owning a chromebook makes it hard. I have a samsung chromebook plus and firefox detects it as a phone so the interface layout is wrong. I hear good reviews for the steam deck. Steam should go ahead and bring the Steam Book with Firefox support. I would take a look at that. I won't mind that the only think I could play is sudoku but it has to be touch screen with a stylus.
I don’t think the term enshittification applies when a product is fully enshittified from its inception.
Speaking of expensive - if they stop the service (or even never start it) - who will maintain the tunnels? Looks like huge liability. Would refilling it with some material actually work (in terms of possible surface buildings damage)?

badblocks has a destructive write mode. It writes numbers to disk then reads them back a while later and tells you if they differ. That seems to work hard drives fairly hard - they warm up at least. A day is usually how long my patience lasts.

There are probably better stress test approaches out there. The basic idea is to find out if your drive is one that'll die early before putting a load of data you want to keep on it.

I don't do this to ssd as they have lowish write limits anyway, so I just assume any data written to a ssd will vanish at some point. Hard drives in a network share, ssd in dev machines treated as scratch storage.
It's also pretty important that he stick to those rules because if he bends them once and it becomes known he would get all sorts of people who think they have a similar good reason for Jordan to break his rule. It honestly might also be an agreement with the school to avoid attracting a circus every time he goes to his kids' games, if he did turn it into an Event it might be necessary for the school to ban him from events for safety.

* I'm sure Airpods are phenomenal for what they are, but I haven't ever found an earbud I can comfortably walk in without having them slip out very quickly, let alone run in. They're a class of product that just doesn't work for me.

* A nearby observer might be able to hear a bone-conducting headphone if you blast the volume, but the main point is that it doesn't reach a disturbing volume for anybody in the surrounding environment, unlike some other potential solutions.

* The audio quality isn't phenomenal, but is acceptable for the use case where you're out in public and still wanting to focus on the surrounding environment. I wouldn't use those kinds of headphones for general home use, but they're good enough for the intended purpose.
Yes, it's malformed. There is no expectation that (a) and (c) can be simultaneously satisfied, since they are linked by a chain of "or"s. But it seems clear that the intent of the document is that you're supposed to certify two things:

I. At least one of (a), (b), (c) is true.

II. I understand and agree as specified in (d).

In other words, (d) is not parallel to (a), (b), and (c) -- it's a drafting mistake to put it in the same sequence of clauses.
The displeasure is the the same as that from “not returning the shopping cart;” it isn’t illegal to do so and no one will punish you, but the community as a whole is collectively taken advantage of when you do so.
I didn’t even catch that use of “seppo”. What a hilariously hypocritical use of language.

You can’t make this stuff up.

> The market never lies

Whilst this can sometimes be true, e.g. Disney stock decline tied to "go woke go broke", in general this is demonstrably, incredibly false.

The market is based on a mix of widely known facts, speculation, hopes, dreams, fraud, and a bunch of other weird goofy phenomena.
(Author here) I ended up buying a bunch of the components, including all of the passives, at LCSC. Notably the Cypress chip was much less expensive there too. Here's a link to the resistor network part I bought:

https://www.lcsc.com/product-detail/_UNI-ROYAL-Uniroyal-Elec...

On a side note, I mentioned in the video that it was super tedious to solder all of the passives. If I were doing this again I would strongly consider doing the JLCPCB/LCSC thing and having them populate all of the caps/resistors on the bottom side for me.

I was wondering if I’m the only one who knows about this feature. In general, do people use syslog? I haven’t worked on a project that does.
Good point. I would argue that timing of payments makes a big difference if you have high costs on the units you sell, e.g. EasyPost with shipping labels via API request. But for other SaaS with high margins you would only front very limited money for like 30 days.

Couple of counter-measures for this exact point I have seen in the wild:

- companies letting you top up your account balance, then do usage based charges on the balance

- companies having a billing-threshold where they trigger a payment (or multiple) during the month
They should start making more low entry bikes (edit: low frame/no high cross bar).

I guess biking is still dominated by guys and by racing. If bike commuting picks up, low entry bikes should outnumber sporty bikes 10:1, I hope.

Edit: those are not commuting bikes :-))) Now, THESE are commuting bikes: https://www.batavus.nl/elektrische-fietsen
I think the emoji combining isn't that useful, at least in the family example. It is enough putting them side by side without merging them. That way you have even more possible combinations, like a family of an ogre and a human and a kid.

These are Tesla Loop tunnels.

I honestly cannot believe that a city would give permission to build such a pyrrhic public transportation system, even if it is privately owned. From the article:

"The convention center loop has been operational for about two years and has seen 1.2 million passengers over that span. The highest daily capacity of the system during that time is 32,000 riders."

The similarly planned Austin MetroRail has a yearly passenger volume of ~500,000, but at least it is more useful than this.
Mmm your point is moot. USA is way shorter than any of your options.
It makes sense to me. If Google was (1) promising that Chrome had an "incognito mode" while (2) simultaneously tracking people using this mode, well, that sounds like lying to the customer.

I don't know who Brenden Gregg or Jeff Dean are, but a cursory look at their profiles I imagine the thread linking them together is they've set aside time to do deep thinking and research -- rather than the piecemeal approach of implementation whack-a-mole.

So in that vein:

1. Find a very narrow area where you would like to have in-depth knowledge

2. Read the seminal works in that area (could be academic papers, could be blog-posts, could be even code)

3. Go for a long walk, and mull about it for a bit.

4. See if you can add something, no matter how little, to the area

5. ???

6. Rinse repeat

Money is also a second order effect.

It stems from human tax base (after we mostly eliminated direct government capital ownership when we did away with monarchies).

And human tax base ultimately stems from... the ability to count. Which is the identity question.

People. Assets. Productivity. Profit.

A government which lacks the ability to count cannot have a stable tax base, which increases stability risk and therefore decreases the value of their money.

Just judging by the comments here you seem to be the only user on HN with one, and HN is already a super niche community of FOSS enthusiasts, but even here most use iOS devices because people like using stuff that already works with the mainstream apps.

Fridman's interviews are an unusual combination of being well researched and incompetently conducted. When the interviewees are so interesting and well-chosen, and otherwise not the sort of person who would get a lot of media attention (Jim Keller is one example), it is indeed painful when he interrupts the guest or... sigh... interacts with them verbally in any way, really.

Unrelated, but Fridman's proclivity for injecting Elon Musk as a discussion topic into the vast majority of his interviews is genuinely weird.
I heard of Georgian banks closing people's accounts with a week's notice for being "high risk" or something. It's a gamble.

In Armenia, at least when I visited in December, I was told that "if you want an Armenian card, it can be done in 2 days for 25000 rubles that you put in your account". Not sure which bank it was.

I also know people who opened cards in Indonesia and Turkey.
