You are correct. The closest thing there is is called Centaur Chess where a human and computer work together. At least as of 2021, a human and computer combination could outperform just a computer indicating that a human still provides value to a chess engine.

I believe in Go that is no longer the case, however. A human provides no additional value to a Go engine.

Like many other crafts and arts where machines can do better, Go has a deeper role in being transformative for the human learning it -- in the case of Go, developing strategic thinking, being able to make decisions balancing long term and short term gain, uniting reasoning and intuition, an arena for exercising emotional equanimity.

Winning, I think, is secondary to this. It's a useful measure of how one has progressed in that transformation, but I think the lessons and principles from Go that I can apply in guiding my my day-to-day life are more valuable.

I have gotten a lot of value from the two I've used as a buyer, and also the one I used as a seller.

On the buyer side, once we'd toured a few houses and they understood better what we wanted, the number of "No, not a chance" houses dropped to almost zero. Also, when we were just "tire-kicking" and said we had no intent to buy for a year or more, our realtor flat out told us she enjoys seeing new houses and even if we aren't ready it's good leg-work and research for her to do for other clients anyway. Once we found one she was excellent at getting us to the right people for financing, inspections, etc. - in a very small local market. She was also incredibly helpful when we were trying to find a temporary rental from across the ocean remotely, which is what led us to ask her to help find a house to buy eventually.

On the seller side, we left the country, and my realtor sold our house at an amount that covered his commission and then some with almost no effort from us at all. He had the place cleaned, staged, and photographed as part of his fee, and sold it in a day.

Yes, I'm sure like any occupation there are people bad at their job and just collecting cash for doing damn near nothing, but if you find a good one on either side, they can add a lot. Look for referrals from people who've had good experiences, and don't just pick a name from the phone book.
Since 2018, there's a separate, non-public accounting ledger for national security items at 150 agencies. In theory, this should improve public ledgers.

http://files.fasab.gov/pdffiles/handbook_sffas_56.pdf

The objective of this Statement is to balance the need for financial reports to be publicly available with the need to prevent the disclosure of classified national security information or activities in publicly issued General Purpose Federal Financial Reports (GPFFRs). This Statement allows financial presentation and disclosure to accommodate user needs in a manner that does not impede national security.

The hard part of accounting systems is doing the requirements analysis (including interviewing humans who give inaccurate or incomplete answers) and writing detailed functional specifications which account for every possible edge case. No LLM can do that.

Once you have the detailed specifications the coding is relatively easy. Some of that can be partially automated using AI CASE tools, but that only gives a marginal improvement to overall project productivity.

Sure, but I'm not sure that's at the root either. Suburbs exist in part due to subsidy decisions on automotive infrastructure. And they're in a stress point in the return-to-office work remote debate now, because even with subsidies on highway infrastructure the commutes to get back to city centers are a major time waste. Offsetting 2-3 hours of family life with commute time is a major quality of life negative.

> This only becomes a concern when total debt exceeds some multiple of GDP. The exact limit will vary based on many factors including interest rates, economic growth rate, demographics, and tax compliance. Once that limit is breached it tends to cause a fiscal and political crisis within a few years.

This is the kind of theory that, without a concrete model of how the limit varies (or even with one, if it involves much statsitical variability) is nonfalsifiable, either because the probability of a crisis in actual concrete conditions is unknown or the range of variability is too wide to make strong conclusions given the small-n problem with real-world conditions, but at the same time becomes very easy to rationalize almost any real-world conditions as fitting.
When I grew up we went to a grocery store 5 miles away, even though the closest was only 2 blocks. Once in a while we walked to the close store, but it was so much more expensive than the farther away one that we just about paid for the entire cost of the car just on the grocery savings.

I can't control the prices of the local store, and so it is efficient to have the ability to choose other stores and thus force them to compete on price.
> (5) Mass transit (can be public/private) transportation: Electric trains

This depends quite a lot on ridership. E.g. a typical MAX train in Portland, filled at perhaps 10% capacity aside from a few narrow time periods in the morning and evening, loses out on efficiency to a Honda Civic with four people. Trains are heavy even when they are empty.

Anyone complaining about libre software's ability to pay them is in the wrong part of the culture. Paying someone for labor is a capitalist thing and completely beside the point.

Human societies are deliberately designed to disincentivize volunteering or doing anything without getting profiting. These cultures promote the idea that people are only worth what's in their bank account.

So why should people start paying money for things when it's the fault of the developers for choosing to give away their time and work?

I write that as someone who has FOSS projects. If you want to be paid, don't write code or deliver support until you get the paycheck.
Imo it's the opposite))) a helmet can protect from fatal injuries, meaning hospital does not need to treat the rest if the person dies. Having a helmet means less chances to die bc of head injury but more chances hospital will treat your broken bones. Anyway, helmet helps only for light accidents, with most car accidents ppl will die regardless, there are even some stats that with car accidents a helmet somehow gives green light to autodrivers to drive more aggressively
I love Chrono Trigger; it's also what got me into emulation.

I used this technique in a project I'm working on extensively.
This works great for server-side rendered projects, because you can just combine the HTML inside and the custom-tag in a partial, and re-use this partial like a default component.

A nice advantage is also that it will auto-execute code when you include components in the DOM through the connectedCallback() function. No need to do manual stuff, or wait for onDOMContentLoaded.

BUT when you go more advanced, like intra-component communication, or nested component structures, it starts to become a bit troublesome.
Or you'll dream of some reactive templating or other advanced features, and you'll check out what LIT-components are doing...

I feel that in most simple cases doing vanilla enhancements on some .js-something classes are is even easier that using this technique. No need for a custom-element. Just go back to the jQuery days. :)

MoCA really doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Everybody always thinks if WiFi repeaters, or Ethernet over power line but MoCA is much faster and more reliable than either of them!

Hear, hear. I see so many people on HN complaining about ads and about how Google has a monopoly on search and does a bunch of shady things. And yet so many of them are Chrome users. I really don't think you have standing to complain about Google's practices when it comes to privacy or anti-competitiveness if you use Chrome. It's the height of hypocrisy.

And I say this as someone who still uses quite a few Google services. I've managed to get myself off GMail, but it's been a lot harder to ditch the office apps, and Photos.
I had my mileage in wifi/routers development and I will say you just a proverb:

"The one who knows how wireless works, uses cable." ;)

When renovating an apartment I have put a shitload of ethernet sockets everywhere, there is no place in 80m2 apartment, where you would be more than 2m away of nearest (including toilet) and as 4 of them were not enough behind TV, I have added a router there.

Wifi is just a patch if you don't have that option. On fiber, my cost to uplink is 1000/500 for 35 euros / month and I want to use it on clients too.

I have 2.4 and 5GHz turned on, but the LTE is better alternative so no one uses them. I have Mikrotics everywhere and Wave 2 is an option, but really, why bother if the ethernet cable works so much better? Not to even mention PoE (+ injectors).

Physics cant be broken by whatever the current fashion is.

So at the end, if you cant (for whatever reason) use ethernet in apartment and your mobile sucks? Go for the latest trend in wireless. This is not an issue? Use cable, nothing comes close to it.
It appears I have to explain myself better.

You've heard the phrase "read the room"? The OP added this article to HN, a site known for its detail-oriented minds (programmers, engineers, technicians, etc.) or, if you prefer another insult, "rules lawyers".

Words have meanings. It's a monopoly if a single entity has complete (or almost-complete) control of a market.

"Apple/Google" isn't a single entity, neither has anything close to complete control of the US mobile-device market, and they do seem to actively be opposed to each other in many areas rather than being some sort of cartel.
I don't think GP claimed living in a city or riding a bike was elitist. I think the claim was that imposing solutions that only work in cities as if they work for everybody is elitist. And, speaking for myself now, it's important to remember that, in many contexts, living in the city is a luxury that many cannot afford without greatly diminishing their current standard of living. Outside the city, housing is cheap. You have to be very wealthy or else give up a lot to move into a city.
i recently watched a video where chess grandmaster magnus carlsen seemed to be extremely adept at recalling previous games played by previous master. prima facie it appears he’s the most advanced at recalling and computing potential future moves (in parallel). that seems to be something computers will definitely beat you at. especially given that chess (and most rules, move-based games) are path dependent, aka the space closes down quickly aka moves towards the end are more critical than at start of the game.

This argument is overly general, allowing you to dismiss any expressed desires as "not real".

The cost to rent a car for a week is getting close to the cost of just owning a car. (very much it depends, if you only own new cars renting is cheaper, but most people own older cars which are much cheaper). Plus when you rent they worry about little scratches and such which limits what you can do on vacation.
