I live downtown in a major city and use Uber + Ubereats a LOT. I used UE twice yesterday and if I go anywhere more than 10 blocks I uber which is a few times a week minimum.

I can't think of a single time I've had a problem like that. The only somewhat consistent thing that I encounter is GPS updating slower than the person actually is, but I'm in a pretty bad GPS/cell black hole.

You couldn't catch me ever driving my car and leaving it at the airport. That's going to cost you/ins $2k when someone chops out your catalytic converter. Don't ever leave your car in public parking anymore cat theft is so, so rampant.

"The area of DIA, however, has seen theft increase by 28 percent this year compared to last year."

Smartglasses seem to forget just how many people already have that equipment slot taken up by their actual glasses. A lesser concern for the market, as they aren't even close to adoption to saturate the non-glasses wearers but still something which personally kills my interest before it starts.

It can infer lots of stuff yes. But sometimes you have to write that part in a somewhat specific way to get synthesis to infer, or you might want the extra control options that the inputs & outputs of a hard block instance offer, or you might have a more elaborate interconnection between several hard blocks and it ends up being easier to just instantiate these hard blocks and set them up manually.

You're confusing the fact that its more socially acceptable to have many partners now and be honest about it.

Women and men have always been who they are. You put lots of people together and they will start sleeping around, 10, 50, 100, 500 years ago. Its just human nature.

Problem is that the executability of files is (at least on Windows) communicated in-band in the filename. In-band signalling was proven to be a bad idea ever since the early days of phone phreaking.

Unicode is fine for what it is - conveying text across languages and scripts. The problem is that some environments use the filename as more than what it should be (a memo field for the user and not an instruction for the machine whether to execute the file as code).
> And I know domains aren't technically permanent

I agree.

They're not technically permanent, but my primary domain name is one that I've had for over 30 years now (even surviving two instances of me forgetting to renew it), and the youngest of my other ones is 10 years old.

They aren't technically permanent, but they're more persistent than a lot of things people uncontroversially think of as permanent.

Hard disagree with random questions. If it's easy to ask a random question you're just going to keep asking random questions. How about you write down that question and try to formulate the answer or a strategy for finding the answer?

Here is a workflow I made all people I mentor go through: 1) what is the problem? 2) why is this a problem? 3) what are you actually seeing? 4) what have you tried to solve it? What are the results?
Invoking the replication crisis was a rhetorical flourish. The point is that OP’s attempt at a rejoinder about proof in the negative leading to fame is silly because the entire field does not seem to be very much interested in proving negatives.
Sorry I think you misunderstood.

Sweep’s logic is fully open and it’s self hostable, but we’ve been focusing on the capabilities of Sweep(not on self hosting) so we haven’t provided docs.

Because Sweep runs entirely in GitHub, it’s easy to install but annoying to self host. You’d need to setup modal and create a new github app.

Definitely doable, some of our community members were able to do it.

This is great to hear. We have CenturyLink fiber installed to our home but we don’t use it. They’re a truly incompetent company and I hope they get bought out by someone that can actually run an ISP. Community ownership would be even better.

I follow ~200 extremely high quality people on twitter, never use the algorithmic timeline -- just the "Following" tab, and it is easily 10x more signal to noise than HN for me, I'm almost upset I didn't start using it sooner.

One of my criteria for a 'forever home' is that the community must have municipal internet.

My, and my family's experience with private internet companies has been horrendous, for years. My parent's only internet option, up until a few weeks ago, was $65 6mbit dsl. They are maybe half a mile from a fiber connection serving the local school, but they refuse to expand it. ATT did not want their business. When they complained about the poor quality of the internet, they were told repeatedly that the only reason their street had any service what so ever was that they were 'grandfathered' from the days of dail up.

As for me. I live in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the south east. I have heavy rail passenger transport to the city center not even a mile from my house, yet comcast is really the only option I have for internet. They know I don't have options, and their prices, offerings, and customer service reflect this.

TLDR: I'll basically be using this map to determine where I move next

That's a real intellectually honest representation of the situation. Why did Daniel Penny have to defend himself and the other passengers from the violent, crazy dude? Why would I put myself in the same situation, exposing myself to the violent crazy people? I'll take Uber. Or move to Europe.

It really feels like you're the one disputing the science but saying it shouldn't be disputed. Of course, science should be looked debated through every sort of lens but the extreme events happening year over year kind of point to one thing. Where there's proverbial smoke there's fire.

I had a call with a Comcast sales/tech dude just yesterday. I really ripped into them. We pay $225/mo for coax 200/20 right now. They wanted more than $600/mo for fiber, didn't even say the speed, but I assume it was 1Gbps up/down. I have 10Gbps Sonic.net for $50/mo at home.

Mostly what I spent time ripping on him for was not being able to disable SecurityEdge (DNS hijacking) and outages (~7 multi-hour ones this year). His only answer was "if you want an SLA you need to get fiber" which is 100% BS.

The second there is an alternate (other than AT&T) I will jump to them. Too bad Sonic doesn't have fiber in my office area, but I hope they will at some point.

Comcast is my 2nd most hated company. First is AT&T.

Cash has a real implication accessibility as well — particularly those who may not have enough income to even hold a bank account (that may be a NA thing?). It also helps those who aren't digitally literate or may have cognitive disabilities that a screen can make worse.

In addition to some level of security — there are a lot of reasons to keep cash around.

Look: except for a few months in high school, I have never worked for a stereotypical company where I would go into an office and do work with other people; I have always worked by myself or remote. I relish working alone and have never had an issue with it; I've even been quite fanatical about it, trying to make sure everyone knew how great this lifestyle was (one which I learned from my father, who worked for a company half a world away from him, from a home office where he was always accessible to his son: me).

But... the pandemic also broke me. Bad. I wasn't at all prepared for life trapped inside where my only interaction with human beings I knew was via video. There were like four months in early 2021 where I only had about four interactions with flesh and blood humans whose name I knew (like, not some entirely random person)... one of them was the guy who lived in a nearby park whom I normally avoid as it is so difficult to end conversations. I gained a ton of weight and at one point--end of 2020--I had given myself some kind of weird anemia (I think from lack of B12 in my stupid closed-in diet).

Like: I am someone for whom his entire life normalized remote work and who thrived in such an environment and yet the pandemic was so hard I still haven't really recovered... thinking about it makes me cry. (And like, yes: I could have better managed my lifestyle or better handled the loneliness. Whatever. That is also true for you, and I at least am not judging you for that.) It is one thing to not work in an office--you can work from anywhere! and there are a ton of people who you can get to spend time with--and it is entirely another thing to work explicitly from a small room in your home day in and day out for a year without human contact.

I thereby want to posit that maybe--just maybe--the issue isn't working remotely but being forced to stay at home and at times even fear going to the supermarket. There were periods during this thing when people were even afraid to meet up outside, and so human contact for white collar professionals outside of relationships was pretty much just verboten. The world was in a shitty place, and you shouldn't judge working remote based on the experiences you had during a pandemic without even trying to control for the existence of a pandemic as part of your analysis.
> Enshittification is a response to the idea the capitalism optimizes for the consumer

I don't think the problems we're seeing are limited to capitalistic nations.

In any case, my understanding of the philosophical foundation of capitalism, wasn't that it relied on optimization or altruism toward consumers at all. Rather, that it structured incentives so that consumers would benefit from the selfish pursuits of industry.

Pointing out the failings of that system is easy. What's difficult is proposing a system that's better, and has a chance of working with human nature as it is, rather than as we wish it to be.
It was "There is an objective truth to things." How did you come to that conclusion?

Not a serious query.

Such a feat would be pointless because there would be no groundbreaking research to build a business upon, no high h-index, no network created, or pedigree earned by institution and field.

And don't bother with the startup scene because people lacking in work ethic quickly earn a rep and are ignored.
I like this article. Should we try to come up with a model in which even more forces are fictitious? Would that exercise reveal something interesting.

> Uber was great when the drivers didn't know where they were taking you.

I remember this era with absolute DISDAIN. I HATED getting drivers who didn't know the area at all vs one who grew up in Austin or something. That was the difference between getting stuck some parade/festival traffic for 25 minutes vs taking a couple of back blocks and getting their in 15. I wonder if they account for traffic like that nowadays, I'd imagine not since they want you in the car longer.

Not to mention having to constantly stare at gps, not knowing what lanes to be in, etc.

> Isn't almost all the complexity of Unicode inherent in the problem of trying to encode documents written in every written language, though? (Esp. when including documents written in multiple languages at once — and often switching languages within a single sentence, such as when a statement in one language quotes text in another language.)

What's complex about that? That's just an ordinary sequence of code points, no different than if there was only one language involved.

Unicode has problems where the same thing is represented several different ways. It's not a problem for different things to be represented in different ways.
Tesla sued for false advertising after allegedly exaggerating EV ranges
The worldwide anomaly in 2023 is about 0.9 degrees C from the mean since 1979, not 2.x. Furthermore, the 2023 anomaly from the last decade mean is about 0.3 degrees C. The 2023 anomaly from 2022 is 0.18 degrees, which is close to what they predicted the Tonga eruption would cause.

One of the best ways to fight climate change is to not make up numbers out of thin air. There has to be trust for people to begin to change, and exaggerating because you want people to feel as scared as you will not help.

>Good old times / not remembering the bad parts.

Probably because the "bad parts" never applied to them since they had the right socio-economic background (connections to the party), and they knew how to game the system so that it worked in their favor (did no actual work but were reaping the rewards).

>Having your path in life mapped out, i.e. not dealing with uncertainty.

Because after the fall of communism a huge portion of the population was financially illiterate since you grew up and were taught that the state will take care of everything, and suddenly you wake up in an economy that's 180 degress different to what you were taught and were used to your whole life, making people completely clueless to the new world of unregulated capitalism and an easy pray to all the scammers and wise-guy opportunists at every step, so inflation, poverty and unemployment was rampant, as well a huge amount of people fell victims to various Ponzi/pyramid/get-rich-quick schemes that were common in the west 100 years earlier but were new here.

> Dear lord, we should be thanking the gods that libertarian techbros are not running the economy.

Last I remember they were though, all the VC money (things that keep the US relevant outside of military) were in the hands of a few who have been techo-bro'ing it up with scams like NFT and AI (via LLMs) as the next big savior of the economy.

When in reality this comes down to a very simple distortion of monetary policy that as someone said has never really equated to more than Ivy league Astronomy and tea leaf reading by way of the Federal Reserve; who have admitted they do not know how to solve this at all. Which if you see is clear as they are raising interest rates when the debt to GDP ratio has been over 100% even before COVID, which means we can never pay it off.

Lastly, I want this to happen now; you people have lived so far outside of reality that unless this starts to affect you directly you will never consider an alternative: not only are fiat monetary systems doomed, but unless we get serious about building an exit from this we might have to deal with not just climate change, and warfare all at the same time, but if left to the nation-state model we are currently on, a Global ruinous monetary system in a multi-polar World where the quality of Life is so bad that people's desperation gets to levels only seen in sub-Sahara Africa or the Middle East. That is a volatile mix that in theory we have never really diverted from since 2008.

If tech workers here proudly boast here about only really doing like 10 hours of actual work, and browsing HN all day than I should hope that by now you realize why that was a fool's errand and apply your efforts accordingly as this cannot be solved otherwise.

This isn't about being a 'doomer,' hell I wish I was wrong about all of this but including the war in Ukraine I'm going on 5 of 5 predictions so far.

My last one is based on the notion that if you are a millennial or younger all you've been exposed to is this perpetual grift and they wonder why the life expectancy has fallen, along with quality of Life and the biggest cause of death in the US for this age group is now overdose from Fentanyl.

If the goal was to see a drastic drop in population like in Japan's post bubble economy than mission accomplished, but if it was to some how finding a way to motivate people to become multi-planetary or some other lofty goal, most couldn't care less because they see everything from the lens of 'we will just fuck things up there like we did here.' And that is what I'm seeing from Gen Z, they are so apathetic and perhaps rightly so, that I don't know what will get them motivated until it's too late.
Yes, but it did bring the concept to be debated to HN. I'm now thinking we should do it in my country.
Ah I have a friend at Google doing that. Except they downscale the image to a ridiculously low resolution to save compute costs. At that resolution OCR is no longer feasible but brand detection still works. Naturally being at Google they don't use GPUs but TPUs to do it, but the cost remains so prohibitive that they have to randomly sample messages to go through this process.
Your other points aside, venerable might not be the right word for a package notorious for one of the most impactful zero days in recent memory.
The problem is we haven’t all figured it out. I have some coworkers who absolutely need to be in the office. Unfortunately they don’t have the self awareness to realize that, and they heavily believe the only benefit to in office work is making middle management happy. They’re good developers, but they have a bad habit of getting sucked into rabbit holes. Left to their own devices, they’re highly likely to disappear for hours and come back with an architecture astronauts dream that technically does what they’ve been assigned but also does it in ${newest language or framework} with ${unsupported dependency} and insufficient tooling to actually deploy it into production.

When they’re in the office 3 things work to prevent that:

1) yes they are supervised. More senior devs and also management can keep an eye on them

2) They’re more likely to just randomly ask a question or ponder aloud than they are to write something in slack, so it’s more likely someone can catch them going off the rails and re-direct

3) They’re more plugged into what everyone else is doing, so more likely to keep “coming up for air” and keeping their mind focused on the main goal and not the rabbit hole.

Again, these are perfectly fine junior devs with perfectly fine skills, and even their tendency to get enthusiastically lost is just more junior dev stuff.

But they don’t know how to work remotely, they’re not self aware enough to know they need to learn, they don’t take the feedback on it very well either (again see “it’s only because management wants butts in seats”)

So the options for this are mandate them to the office or eventually fire them for being more dead weight remotely than they’re worth.
I take Uber a couple times a year (when there are no other alternatives). I always chat with the driver and ask how much he is making out of that ride. I have seen absolutely astonishing price differences.

Coming back from SFO to south bay at night a couple weeks ago, we were quoted 120$. The driver take home was...30$.

I don't understand how we got in this situation. Is the app really providing that much value? Why can't a scrappy startup with 25 people not create a similar app and take a fixed 1$ a ride?

Today there is no other solution than accepting Uber (or similarly Lyft) prices. There should be a world where instead of paying 120$ I pay 60$ and the driver instead of getting 30$ gets 55$?
To say nothing of your argument around painting the Eiffel Tower (which I assume you meant in a different sense than the article...)
