We don't do 20mph everywhere because interstates etc exist. In some places the roads are really good and straight and they have separators between oncoming traffic and it makes sense to go 80mph or whatever.

Here in Norway most roads are max 80 kph which I think is roughly 45mph. Many roads have been downgraded from 80kph to 70kph because accidents at 70kph are significantly less fatal than at 80. They have also added separators between oncoming lanes in highways to minimize head on collisions.

Some year recently we had 0 fatalities in children. This is because we have improved problematic road segments and improved road safety.

I have had some discussions with US citizens presenting the same viewpoints you are. Generally on videos on Reddit showing exactly why they are wrong. My experience watching a lot of traffic accidents in reddit subs like r/idiotsincars is that the vast majority of accidents are because both parties made a mistake. One party may have been more at fault, but both were indisputably at fault.

In these comment threads I've seen a lot of comments presenting that American viewpoint that you have to break the law to be safe. I just don't buy it. I've driven for a lot of years, following the law and driving defensively has kept me safe.

I wonder how many "Bloomfield Bridges" there are in the world. I saw this headline and wondered if it was about the Bloomfield Bridge in Pittsburgh, PA. I clicked on the article and saw the pedestrian bridge, which looks extremely similar to a pedestrian bridge that ends right by the Bloomfield Bridge in Pittsburgh, but clearly just happenstance

I think we still need an LLM to enable the system as a whole to understand vague and half-baked human input.

I can easily ask an LLM to write be a function in a random programming language, then feed the output to a compiler, and pipe errors from the compiler back to the LLM.

What doesn't work so well is typing "pong in java" into a bash shell.

This isn't a perfect solution (not even for small projects), but it does demonstrate that automated validation can improve the output.

Which senior manager is this, out of interest?
Miasma used here as imagery for rhetorical effect. It really is like a toxic cloud of cultural assumptions and impositions that has choked out a lot of the folks who built the foundation of what makes Burning Man what it is, and not just some festival to wear sparkly clothes and take pictures for Instagram. Not to mention all the money that descends on the event to install shortcuts and cash grabs in an otherwise moneyless, DIY, BYOEverything space.
There are a great many questions of interest to humans that science cannot provide any truth value for. Science cannot answer metaphysical questions like "are we all living in a perfect simulation" (in this case, no experiment or observation could reveal the simulation, barring something like simulation glitches) or "why does the universe even exist - why is there something when there could be nothing?". Hence science is quite limited in scope.

One might argue that mathematics gives us an unambiguous definition of truth, but that's only in the context of a given set of axiomatic basis, and if you introduce you other favorite choice of axioms, well, where's the truth of which are the 'right' axioms?

More fantastically, one could argue that supernatural beings are constantly intervening in the physical universe, but only when they're sure nobody is watching them. This all leads to a notion that science will always leave room in the world for mysticism of various kinds, which is fine.
45k USPS rural carriers impacted by payroll error
Of course I'm writing this with the benefit of hindsight, but it's still an interesting position to read. They could make almost exactly the same claim for iTunes - that it's really not viable because you have no leverage over the incumbent publishers - that they're making for network operators.

And I really don't think this is a bad comparison, given that in 2006, iTunes is still very much fresh in the mind.
Well the best thing to do is to seek some professional help. If you are a person of faith, then go to church or do your religious thing and work with the leaders there. If you are not, then at least find a good therapist or counselor to start working on things.

I have this handbook for a course I've taken a few times now. It's called WRAP - Wellness Action Recovery Plan. It's for anyone who may be hit with mental health setbacks at some time, and it helps you plan for future setbacks and recover from them, or even prevent them from getting worse in the first place.

It's very systematic and thorough; it helps you identify tools in your toolbox that help you, whether you are well or doing badly. It helps you catalog symptoms of doing worse or breaking down. It helps you establish a list of helpers and people to contact when you require outside help. Then it has steps and actions for picking up the pieces when everything is getting back to normal for you.

I highly recommend that everyone gets on board with a therapist or counselor, even just to work out some minor issues with relationships, your employment, or your outlook on life. You can definitely gain some indispensable tools to help you cope and even thrive like you never thought was possible.
This is price support in extremely volatile commodity price periods to reduce the number of farms that going under.

We want to maintain a high supply of food and need producers to do that without thinking they could go bankrupt next year. Seems reasonable to me.

That's right. I read somewhere it was held in trust by BLM for the tribe but researching again I can't tell if that specific area is part of the laws that were passed or if it just belongs to BLM outright.
In modern brain science another theory is that a dream is a type of replay of things the brain is busy with and allows for fine-tuning of it.

Like when you learn something and it's better the next day.

If it's just a brain region which has to be awake for the rem sleep to do what it does, it can also be a compensation mechanism.

I'm not following the idea that energy has to dissipate. The firing origin is not some electricity which needs to discharge,
It's because everyone knows the A's are A's, so they don't have any problem being nice, sharing tips, helping others along.

The B's are trying to become A's. Maybe they even think they're better than the A's, but their skill isn't acknowledged. The last thing they need is some dumb C coming up and competing with them as another B. Better to kick the C's to the curb.

Meanwhile the A's don't care, they're on top, after all, and life is good - let me share that blog post on clean code I saw the other day to my team's channel.

> NRLCA said impacted carriers will receive 65% of their gross pay via money order this Friday. That figure is a rough estimate of a rural carrier’s average take-home pay. The union said impacted rural carriers will have to pay back their salary advance, but won’t be required to pay it back until after USPS has repaid them the correct amount.

Mistakes happen. Still, what a way to say "Happy Labor Day"
> Your penchant for going off on tangents is one of the reasons I don't want to engage with you any more.

I already said (2 days ago), "I agree that I was following a bit of a tangent", since the submitted article was about political advertising on Twitter/X. However, it's been the same tangent the whole time: "Serious question: Do you honestly believe that Joe Biden is not corrupt? As far as I've seen, which is a lot, he's been a paid tool of the Delaware financial industry for his entire career."

> politicians in the U.S. spend a lot of time fundraising, and they do this not necessarily because of any moral failing but simply because it's a prerequisite for keeping their jobs.

> If you accept that

I already accepted that long ago in the discussion: "You certainly have to raise money to win, but there are different ways of going about that, and also different ways to handle it after you've raised the funds and won the election." "Of course every politician raises campaign funds, an empirical fact beyond dispute." "I wasn't talking about the fact that Joe Biden has raised campaign funds; by itself, that's not interesting or worth noting."

> then we can go on to have a discussion about whether or not this state of affairs is desirable, and, if not, why it's undesirable what might be done about it.

That wasn't ever the question, I was never trying to debate that with you, and I'm not sure we would even disagree about the answer.

My question has always been very specific: "Do you honestly believe that Joe Biden is not corrupt?" I assume that, like other politicians, Biden spends a lot of time fundraising, so we can take that for granted. Time spent fundraising is not the question. I'm more interested in what Biden does when he's not fundraising, i.e., when he's supposed to be doing the job he was elected for.
Total control like that wouldn't have been possible with any telcos without several million existing customers to back apple up.
I think this is tied to the 90% effort model (which I thought was attributed to Carl Lewis, but I can't find a source).

The A group are pushing themselves, but they have a confidence of being at the top of the pack, and that slight bit of relaxation that lets their body flow freely through the water.

The B group are striving and pushing and tense, putting 100% effort in all the time to try to get to the A group. This extra tension in their body is actually slowing them down. But from a mental state, it is also putting them in a position of excessive competitiveness. They are more focused on beating the other swimmers to get into the A group.

The A group aren't trying to beat the other swimmers in the A group. They are trying to beat themselves. They want the other swimmers to be better, in order to push themselves to be better.

The C group know they are in the bottom half, and have very little to gain from hyper-competitiveness. Might as well get along with everyone.

The D group are just happy to be there.
80% of the time when someone says an event peaked it’s because they’ve aged out of the event or the event evolved in a way that wasn’t to their liking.

You should totally go if you get a chance, but to be clear Burning Man is not a music festival a la Glasto. It’s much more of an art festival than anything else, and it’s really spectacular.

Also just ignore the lore around anti-capitalism, eco friendly yada yada. It’s a really sick party for super rich people and the artists they patronize.
Let me use your apple example, apple found out the hard way that paying its competitors us against its interest so they make their own M1/2 SoC now, their samsung dependency on memory chips is because there is no option. They do everything in house where possible, they line to control as much if the supply chain as possible.

Amazon is launching a new product, so they can calculate short term losses and plan for long term success. Initial committments like spacex would be difficult to move away from. Total cost of anything is worse if you have to migrate from it anyways. If they know they will find it cheaper to use blue origin in the long run then the only decision is what to use that is cheapest to move away from down the road.

The bottom line is, the board and company of amazon has no fiduciary responsibility to pursue short term profits. They can only do wrong if it can be proven that they made a decision that is against the proftiability of the company intentionally or out of gross negligence.

That post was not made in a vacuum. It was made in response to a particular claim, which was not as simple as "oh, sure, you can own stocks and pay your rent out of the dividends".
I don't care what they use. I am stating they are using the wrong protocol if there is a chance to introduce errors when sending a message.

Yes, electricity for water pumping is subsidised, and the water itself is not taxed.

Imposing even tiny charges on water consumption by farmers would incentivize them to use water more efficiently. India could easily learn water efficient practices from Israeli farmers.
What does it matter who loses money? This isn't a 3 person scam, there are 10s of thousands of people capable and it only takes a single company getting a single practice in the area to start doing ${RADICALLY_MORE_EFFECTIVE_THING} and they get all of the pie while these stagnant people now get none. If there is some grand conspiracy of how they have enough power to prevent anybody from coming in and doing it better/cheaper to steal the larger volume then why do they need to protect this oddly specific set of jobs to get money? Basically, how does who from the past will lose expected income prevent someone who wants to become rich now?

Dialysis is indeed big business, but that means it's more attractive to upset - not less. The sad reality is it's just hard to upset. That's not as cool, it doesn't catch your attention, it doesn't give you anyone to blame for why things are shitty... but it's also a lot better supported as an explanation.
> The comparison is renting versus buying the same place to live in.

Not the comparison I and others have been responding to. That was talking about buying a house and renting it out instead of living in it.
Where "radial" obviously refers to the circular Black Rock City layout.

Sporth is a stack-based language I wrote a few years ago. Stack-based languages are a great way to build up sound structures. I highly recommend trying it.

Chorth may need some fixes before it can run again. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I had a lot of fun using when I was in SLOrk.
I have not been able to figure out how that would help in the context of this discussion. As I see it, what’s very interesting here is that an LLM is able to do this.
Not sure how that solves the pair programming issue. What you’d need is a way to split the points for a single task among 2+ people without the overhead of duplicating the ticket.
> What matters at the end of the day are the irrecoverable costs.

No, what matters at the end of the day are overall costs vs. overall benefits. Many of both are not monetary, so any analysis that only takes monetary costs into account is obviously not going to be a complete or valid analysis. And different people will evaluate the non-monetary costs and benefits differently: for example, some people value the freedom and independence that comes with ownership of the place you live in much more than others.

> unless one is absolutely sure that one can stay in the home for close to ~7 years

Many people live in the same home for much longer than that.
First thing I thought of too.

For those who don't know, Raskin proposes an alternative the reigning windows and folders paradigm, in which your entire OS is a single sheet, a kind of landscape in which you can zoom out to a map view or zoom down into specific words and images, a kind of google maps for your digital space.

It's always stuck with me and I would love to try it. Figma comes to mind as a popular product that's put the idea into practice, but that's a specific use case rather than "your whole digital world".
The US system is pay as you go, so it is just paying taxes on time, not ahead of time. Tax day is just the date when all your accounts are supposed to be settled up for the year.
This is very interesting, I held the same general belief as the person you're responding to.

Any chance you have a source for this info?
It may be useful to collect metrics to get insights, but if they are publicized as a measure of performance, it's likely they'll be gamed, making them less useful.

Perhaps this is just in my imagination, but it seems that there is an element to the byzantine tax process where it's desirable on the part of the government for people to feel that they have likely made some mistakes at some points with taxes, and this produces the feeling that the government has "kompromat" and therefore they should be careful and make sure to not do anything to get any unwanted attention. Of course, there is an analogy to be made with religion and the Catholic Church in particular.
tax revenue to GDO? how is that relevant to government cutting spending? I never said they've cut taxes.

If economy collapses, state recenues drop, ofcourse debt will grow
I’d propose something like the FDIC. Every car sold pays into an insurance fund that, if a company collapses, takes over to maintain access to software updates for the reasonable lifespan of the vehicles.

I don’t think people should be forced to self-manage software updates on multi-ton machinery.
Ive been audited twice for unrelated reasons. The IRS sends you a letter asking you for additional information and how to submit it. Its not even strongly worded

Very inconvenient, I know.
It's, what, two clicks to duplicate a ticket, and another to assign one to other person? Sure a "this person paired" button would be easier, but sometimes you just gotta do jira chores.
I think Forte does a reasonable job of acknowledging Allen. Is GTD the gold standard for all times? Or do people of different times need different explanations of something that addresses similar problems?
Played the initial murder with my wife. We both loved it! It's a little quirky - as is all AI - so sometimes we learned things from the fact list that hadn't actually been divulged (at least once I couldn't get the character to divulge it even after I'd seen it in the fact list). Also frequently my actions weren't registered, which I assume is a streamlit bug. For example, I'd toggle which character I was interviewing only to discover it hadn't toggled. Or I'd submit my question and it would never submit, so I'd have to resubmit.

But those were pretty minor bugs compared to how fun the game was. This is the kind of thing I'd love to buy for a friend for Christmas or something, so if you end up charging it, I'd request you figure out how to gift it. That's a lost art in software these days (are you listening, Audible??). Maybe let folks buy a specific murder mystery as a gift.

Well done!
Huh, it didn't struck me as such. But maybe because I read it partially over the course of the day.

In any case the author DID make a lot of effort researching this and I can imagine it was not always pleasant hitting dead ends.
On desktop it seems to be an even worse version of Reddit than the default (or old.reddit.com). Three columns of 'content' and the main post text (arguably the most relevant part of the page) isn't even completely visible.

It's not unusual to want to change certain behaviours of a project, e.g. by subclassing something within it. It's also worth at least having some idea of the code you're running before you run it, particularly if you don't know the developer, for many reasons but for e.g. [0].

I'm not really sold on the perspective that if you're a sophisticated enough developer to know+upload+publish on pypi that you wouldn't expect someone to read your code. In many ways that's kind of the point. Not to say such people don't exist, but they're probably a small minority.

That’s to do to the tiny amount of solar added to most cars “solar” roofs which then exclude the hood of the car etc.

It’s a lot more interesting on the ~8m2 roof of a van / full sized SUV than a ~1.5m2 center roof of a car.
This is correct. My answer is simply to not buy any Kindle books. In the future, I may buy some again if I can strip DRM.
That I've always found interesting - a proper "skate to where the puck is going to be" moment.

There was a good few years there where everyone was looking for the "iPod-killer". There's even a chance the Zune would have got there, except by time they got close .. that's not where the puck was.

But I always found it interesting that after all that search for the "iPod-killer", none was ever crowned - instead the entire market just slipped silently into the night.
I found this article more enjoyable if I mentally inverted all bad assertions to being probably at worst unfairly benefiting the rich. That aside, debt has been relieved. And, it appears its going to be hard to resume debt repayments quickly.
