There are two types of people that will vote in such a referendum: those that use electric scooters (vote to allow) and those that are annoyed by them (vote to forbid). The others don't care enough.

If you look at the demographics for people using electric scooters, it contains a lot of: minors, people from the suburbs, train commuters, tourists. None of these were eligible to vote.

On the other hand, people annoyed by the scooters are more likely to be older locals, eligible and motivated to vote.

I think that's fair, because hey, locals should get to choose what happens in their city. But Paris is such an interconnected city that I understand it leaves a bad taste in the mouth of some.
In many places it's illegal to pass on the right. I assume the driver probably didn't want to get disciplined.

If you shoot a gun out your window and kill someone who jumped off the building, you are still on the hook for manslaughter.

That is to say, Cruise is still on the hook, even if they didn’t hit the pedestrian in the first place.

Not really answering the question, I'm most interested in mine clearing drones:

A drone with a FLIR can do a great job of sweeping for UXO and mines. Which will be big business (it would take every mine clearing team on the planet 750 years to clear Ukraine given current non-drone tech).

The introductory paragraphs of this review consist entirely of ad hominem attacks on a largely imaginary opponent.

The review suggests the author believes spreading the "free market" gave "opportunities" to millions, thereby justifying British colonialism in India. For more on how that "opportunity" compared with what came before and after British rule, see:

A “sufficiently smart compiler” is a (frequently mythical) one that can implement some difficult optimization on its own, rather than needing hints from the programmer. (See e.g. https://prog21.dadgum.com/40.html?0 for some discussion on the topic.)
I'd recommend starting from scratch. The whole point of emacs is it's super easy to hack and make your own. So you'd just end up "undoing" everything in a starter kit anyway. But you should definitely look at those starter kits to see what you can do.
> they wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages.

Not sure why one would need to go through an apprenticeship to operate a machine as compared to needing to go through one in order to learn how to stitch well. The entire point of the machines was to cut down on labor costs and increase production, which the company could do with or without the Luddite workers; they simply brought in unskilled workers, because the machine didn't need all of the skill (and therefore higher labor cost) of Luddite craftspeople.

The same will happen with AI here, if companies can cut down labor costs, what will the current laborers do? They are striking, yes, but just like the Luddites, if there comes a technology that can replace them with cheaper labor, then that's what companies will do, and I don't think the current laborers have any recourse (in the long term, not the short term, as I know Luddites tried to destroy the machines but in the end they were defeated).
Isn't there some sort of energy input in process? I wonder where that usually comes from in industrial production.

Being in a desert during an El Niño season is a poor decision. It does rain occasionally and I don’t think people going to camp with a days worth of food in small tents understand the risk of a desert climate.

Also, it’s not that remote. Diplo and Chris Rock walked 5 miles out of the site and got picked up and driven back so while the situation does suck, it’s not like they are alone in the great white north 100 miles from civilization. It’s off a road only a few miles.
Thanks, we don't want people like you visiting either.
'Assume good faith' is part of the HN guidelines.

Not OP, but as someone who had his first trip a couple of months ago, I can relate to a couple of points you're calling out.

Regarding integration: I have had appointments with a therapist specialised on integrating peak experiences and for me what worked was to have someone to discuss and extract meaning and insights from the trip and find 'hooks' how to make them part of daily life.

Regarding the amnesia, I can also relate. I still remember the insights, the lessons, the characters and the meaning of my trip. But it gets harder and harder to connect to the feelings of the trip, which in turn make the insights less 'sticky'.
It's because the RFC is fairly short but DNS as a live system is very very complicated. Plus not everything is BIND anyway and you'll find weird things even from large providers.

I wrote https://github.com/jmhertlein/comfydns from scratch, just using the RFCs, and what I got when I was "done" was something that mostly worked. Like surprisingly well. But then I just kept finding a small trickle of issues for certain sites.

One that got me was console.aws.amazon.com. It has 4 CNAMEs in the resolution path and (iirc) one weird but was somewhere along there, you get an NXDOMAIN response but still get a CNAME record back. Is thus allowed by the rfc? IMO, no. I was discarding anything that came back with NXDOMAIN (really, NAME_ERROR - Nxdomain is bind parlance). But alas, it's AWS, and 8.8.8.8 resolves it fine, so what am I to do?

So I added a heuristic thats similarly not-incorrect per the RFC where if I get a NAME_ERROR back, as long as the message has records that match my SNAME, I still treat it as a successful query, cache the records, and continue my search.

So... yeah. Lots of weird shit like that. Just mixes of being too defensive in what you accept and then in some cases not defensive enough - I've found searches that resolve for 8.8.8.8 but if I comb through it manually in DIG, I get back results that are clearly a misconfiguration and then I have to come up with some heuristic that rejects them while still being universally applicable.

So yeah. Fun times. I love DNS. (not sarcasm! I promise).
It got one downvote before you voted it back up 7 minutes later. That's not "everyone", that's literally "a single downvote showed up for a few minutes before 12 upvotes in a row came in".

What I mean by the contrarian dynamic is that often, negative feedback shows up first, only to produce a flood of objections by people saying some variant of "I can't believe this place is so negative". This happens so frequently that I think it must be a product of something hard-wired in the medium* and something hard-wired in humans. Like any predictable mechanism, this one tends to be bad for discussion quality.

* I mean the medium of the internet forum
Equal blame to both.

Both of them caused death. One by causing the potential death and the other stopping the remediation of death.

The difference is you can sentence a person. A robot, not such.
having the privilege of growing up with civil people in a safe place, in English, I agree with the overall sentiment that things are getting worse over institutional-corporate treatment of humans who are paying customers.

However it is worth noting that airlines are in a peculiar crunch, given the demand for the service, competition between the players and their playing field "an airport", and price.

The language is worth a read, if nothing else.
I roll with F# these days, which does imperative programming nicely and can reach out to unmanaged DLLs. I agree with not liking C++ and being hesitant about Rust, as it brings its own complexity. At least C is simple, but often too simple.
What do you mean by "cannot keep up with the instrument"?
I always found it amusing how without a darwinian racial worldview, europe's colonialism and even transatlantic slave trade would be seen as similar to other ancient empire's colonialism and slave trade. Children of the colonised and enslaved could not pursue economic opportunities, wealth, power, and more because they were considered bilologically inferior, as if they were a different sepcies alltogether thanks to darwinian evolutionary inventions of race.

What I wish historians would explore (were it not for the political controversy over the pursuit), is what came first? Was the drarwinian concept of race invented and popularized because it suited the wealthy capitalists of Europe or perhaps the horrors of european slavery and colonialism were unleashed and birthed by darwin and his followers? The former sounds more plausible to me.

We still live in a world where profit and exploitation of not just people but the whole planet is planned and then social norms and acceptable worldviews are formed around that concept. I will give you an easy example: the war on drugs. The profit margins of existing companies, budget allocation potental to fight drugs and its impact on communities who just got civil rights and universal suffrage was figured out first and for decades (even now in many places) the war on drugs was seen as good thing. Trillions spent, the whole thing including rehabs and local drug dealers is it's own powerful industry now.

Colonialism and slavery was made so cruel and brutal compared to historical counterparts because it was more profitable and the culture of capitalism was king.

Lastly, I find it even more amusing how colonialism and slavery allowed more people to study academics and coincided (I insist: facilitated) with the european rennaisance which gave eventual birth to the industrial revolution and much of europe's great accomplishments.
I don't remember anything like that neither, not that it means a lot but my chiodhood and youth was the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union. It feels that democracies are more fragile now for a lot of reasons. The only historical, recent that is, that is comparable seem to be the 30s of the last century. Well, at least I don't wonder anymore how people like Hitler and Mussulini came to power.
They do in every practical, testable definition of the word.

"Transformers don't understand" is not an objective claim and in fact any attempt to objectify it leads to the opposite assertion.

Just from 2020 to 2023, more than $24 Billion in interest-free loans were distributed. https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2023/03/31/the-time-is...

There is no such thing as "enough help", but each country should do its own part, and birth control is for sure important for countries with birth rate > 3 and cannot provide to its people. I came myself from a poor country and I can guarantee that there is no way to develop a long term plan, if the population increases in a high pace. There is no way to allocate money accordingly and create infrastructure in such a pace to support it.

Yeah, I didn’t want to distract but in my use case simpledb was even a fit after first dynamodb release for a reason I forget. Even more they took it totally off marketing after depreciating it but the hammer never dropped! Absolutely love this. The ec2 classic termination was actually a bit surprising in that context.

Budapest has a quite great bike rent network, you can pretty much get from any of its station to any other in at most 30 minutes, sometimes faster than with car or public transport!

The city also made quite a few changes in the last few years, sometimes giving whole car lanes to bikes, and all that for a monthly 3 euros or so price. I would much prefer a centralized solution like this over the ad hoc, leave everywhere scooter one. Bikes can also be misused, but have a better, existing culture/understanding, and are much more safer for the drivers (scooters have very low central mass and a small hole can cause really bad accidents).
I saw a 040 support number and got a bit excited for a minute. But looks like you guys are based Bengaluru.
Nah, the reason someone needed an ambulance is totally immaterial here. A person had life-threatening injuries, and Cruise prevented that person from receiving critical treatment. Counterfactually, that person would most likely be alive if the Cruise taxi hadn't been on the street that day.
If we’re being really realistic, I don’t think there are any desert islands in existence today that are both habitable and wouldn’t be visiting is a five years time span.
This isn't currying at all because each call to add builds a completely new (internal) representation of the addition function.
It seems that using biomass in small scale is quite complicated. At least if other than CO2 emissions are considered.

You can't have either too wet or too dry fuel. You need right amount of air and right temperature. And then you even need to consider things like how the fire is started.
Hedge funds, VCs, and so forth are also playing multiple games multiple times--so they can afford to play win some lose some so long as they don't lose too many and hit a few home runs.

On the other hand, the person who took out a big HELOC to buy Yahoo stock in 1999 shortly before being laid off was making a bet that ended up being life-changing in a way they didn't intend it to be.

(That's an extreme example but playing the averages both assumes that the average doesn't change and that they get enough rolls for the average to be a meaningful concept.)
Ah interesting. I wonder if LLMs can help solve that, although if they don't know the programmer's intent, they likely won't be able to optimize any better either.
>If the robotaxi had blocked the ambulance from reaching someone who'd just had a stroke, blame would rest 100% on the robotaxi.

Yes, but that isn't what happened here. You are no longer assigning blame for a real incident. You are theorizing about the potential damage that AI drivers can cause in similar situations. But once you do that, you also have to consider the tradeoffs between human and AI drivers and all the deaths that human drivers cause. Otherwise, you aren't actually prioritizing the overall safety of our communities.

Solar + electric cars is an excellent solution for transportation. It's basically the whole problem gone as fast as you can build the new infrastructure.

But solar still has the same storage problem in the power grid. You need something to keep the lights on at night. Lithium batteries are cost effective when it means you can avoid the cost of the whole ICE powertrain and replace buying gas with cheap daytime solar -- which also means that the production capacity for lithium batteries is going to go there.

But then you start talking about electrifying heat, for which the peak demand is when it's colder. At night. And for that it makes sense to build some more nuclear reactors.

They wouldn't have to "seek" it if their output was actually worth what they are asking for. It would simply be the competitive rate. The actual problem is there are way way way too many members in the union, so there's simply not enough work for all of them. Is it any surprise they make so little?
I remember this. I don’t remember if it was cloud unit or something else like a pre hardened ami, but basically that - you got hammered in seconds after starting in default config so was good to take some steps right on launch.
Some other existing options in this space (not all web based) are

- https://pymeasure.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ python Framework for running science experiments, getting hardware to go through a set of steps and plot the output. Includes a GUI.

- https://plotjuggler.io/ for really fast live time series plotting in C++/OpenGL, very fast and quick to chuck data at (just wrap it in JSON and throw over UDP) but lacks any form of input. Ideal for systems running at kHz etc, I've used it to tune motion control systems.

- https://foxglove.dev/ aimed solidly at robotics (think self driving vehicles) renders time series plots, 3D renders and point clouds, log statements etc, and supports inputs too. All written in HTML and you can write extensions for it. Unlike others, it can support a much larger data file on a server and live stream the bit you are currently viewing to your browser. Not as fast for smaller things though.
Sounds exactly like the labour market in Finland. The shortage is there, but only for jobs that either don't pay livable wage (or have junior-level pay to seniors), have horrible working conditions, or both. Doctors are the only exception, they have good pay and decent working conditions, and the shortage is caused by successful lobbying to keep university intake low.
I agree. Great content.

Yea seems a little weird.

Here if a ambulance has lights and sirens on, it has right away in every direction (including going opposite of traffic), where everyone pulls over to the shoulder.

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/transportation/driving-an...

And if there are other first responders, which sounds like firefighters? They usually section off the area with either their vehicle.

Sounds like this was multilane both directions, and noone cared there was a ambulance... Oh right it's san fran
These "rules" are for individuals, not for businesses or "wealth empires". I could be rephrased as "don't buy stocks on a margin to finance your retirement."

I feel this! I have run my own one man contracting shop for about half of my career, in two different stints.

I loved:

* the flexibility

* getting paid for every hour I worked (I billed by the hour)

* the freedom to choose clients

* having more than one made me feel more stable

* how close it kept me to the business problem space

* the ability to take time off

* the distance: I could roll my eyes and say "at least I'm getting paid for this BS" when there was political BS

However, after time I joined a team because:

* PTO is quite nice

* Insurance (in America) is better in general for employees

* it was great to be part of a team

* the ability to specialize in a way that is difficult as a contractor (I can be further away from direct revenue generation or product creation)

Highly recommend everyone tries this out as you'll have a much greater appreciation for all the components of a business when you are doing them yourself (or are responsible for them).
Once companies reach a certain size, they become actively evil. It's all about money, and they no longer care about their supposed customers.

Governments have forgotten their antitrust responsibilities. We need to make it simple and automatic: Define an upper limit where a company is too big to exist. Companies above this size must divest.

Micrisoft, Alphabet, Apple, Meta - many tech companies are too big, by an order of magnitude. Split them up.
