You sound like you saw the phrase "Right Way Guy", felt it sounded pejorative (it's more gently poking fun at a common thing), and decided it must mean That Type Of Guy I Don't Like.

The article is referring to the foibles common to someone who's just had their first experience with not being a cargo cultist, i.e., getting overexcited about their first taste of real understanding. Mostly these foibles involve having somewhat cringey one-sided conversations.

I have no idea how the Primer anecdote relates to anything at all.
This is very true about 3 phase, but I have heard that there is interest in it being used in EU for AC charging in public garages because it can handle anything up to 277 volts vs J1772 which can only do 208/240. So they can give it 1 of the 3 phases @ 220V and it will work unlike J1772. Allegedly.

But I kind of doubt it will go anywhere when they've been forcing CCS2 on everyone.
I travel a lot in my SUV in remote areas like between Reno and Vegas.

As a gas driver I like the fact there's a gas station in remote areas and it takes me three minutes to fill my tank and go.

When do we think as interested EV driver will my driving experience match my gas car diving experience and needs? Are we there yet?
All good projects, but seems a bit gratuitous to refer to them as "gifts from us", even if that's what open source effectively is. Each of those projects has commits from non-37signalers.
> HTMX abandons all of that, going back to "lol hope your HTML escape function is correct" (and that you use it consistently!).

You make this sound like an unsolved problem. You can use any of the frameworks, including react, in your backend to render HTML and automatically handle all of that for you.

In terms of using it consistently? I guess you could say the same about prepared statements. Yes, you have to actually use the tools and not go "lol I'm gonna just pass the HTML myself for no reason."
>> Or pay to rebuild in a way that's at least somewhat resistant to weather damage instead of wood and cardboard.

Maybe, but it's my tax dollars. I'm willing to grandfather in an existing home, but I'm not going to pay to rebuild with upgrades, and I'm not willing to pay a dime for the same property again in the future.

The rest of the country should not subsidize people living in high risk places.
> Technical debt, as originally coined by Ward Cunningham, is the idea that you can gain a temporary speed boost by rushing software development, at the cost of slowing down future development.

No! Ward's blog post linked in this very paragraph [0] describes the original definition quite clearly, and it's not this.

The term was originally intended to describe the delta between a programmer's current understanding acquired through the process of developing the software, and the accumulated implementation which is based upon a combination of past understanding. Because writing a program is often a process of discovery and learning about the problem and solution space, it's not usually possible to write the ideal implementation up front.

It's quite clear In Ward's 2nd paragraph where he describes the correction of this debt:

> it was important to me that we accumulate the learnings we did about the application over time by modifying the program to look as if we had known what we were doing all along and to look as if it had been easy to do in Smalltalk.

What the author is describing is the modern definition that it has acquired independently, where by programmers knowingly take shortcuts... this is an entirely different phenomenon, intentionally writing code in a way that is less than ideal even based on current understanding. I find the original definition far more interesting and insightful, but the modern one is perhaps more reflective of the more common realities of the pressure developing software in a business today.

[0] https://wiki.c2.com/?WardExplainsDebtMetaphor

[edit]

Despite this error, I do agree with the sentiment of the article, that too much code is a liability, that features can cost more than they are worth.

Ward's definition of technical debt affects the cohesion and correctness of the code, the idea that if you could tear it all up every day and re-write it from scratch that it would always reflect the most up to date understanding, and for moving targets the most up to date problem, that it be absent of the weight of past misconceptions or solutions to past problems... aiming for minimal code makes achieving that state far more viable - these are complementary insights, so it's a shame the nuance of the original definition was lost.
In the 4th paragraph he describes “the arc of a stone falling to earth” as an exponential function. Is that true? I always thought it was quadratic.
> Vegans aren't a collective entity.

It's still human dominion over animals. And veganism is still veganism. e.g., don't tell me that "some vegans decide it's OK to wear leather" because they're not "a collective entity" or something like that. Veganism is very much a black & white ethos. There is no acceptable gray area for veganism.

yeah, I'm not familiar on the economics of it, and I'm not saying you should buy stock in autonomous vehicle companies. This was more of musing that in theory, if the economics of ride sharing are low enough, it could compete with people buying or leasing cars.
Very good points... intuitively, rail seems safer (and simpler to automate?), but your points have changed my mind... Now I wonder though, how do modern roller-coasters stop so suddenly? Magnetic breaks?

A Cosmic Christmas Tree
From the faq https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/FAQ.md#q-w...

Q. What is this library called?

This library is called Dear ImGui. Please refer to it as Dear ImGui (not ImGui, not IMGUI).

(The library misleadingly started its life in 2014 as "ImGui" due to the fact that I didn't give it a proper name when I released 1.0, and had no particular expectation that it would take off. However, the term IMGUI (immediate-mode graphical user interface) was coined before and is being used in variety of other situations e.g. Unity uses it own implementation of the IMGUI paradigm. To reduce the ambiguity without affecting existing code bases, I have decided in December 2015 a fully qualified name "Dear ImGui" for this library.
This paper is in the Library, along with all the endorsements and refutations, as well as the discussion of it here.

So are:

- all the false discussions that deviated into a political topic that turned into a flame war

- the index of all the times dang has and will remind users to read the guidelines

The trick is finding them, and being sure you have.
This entire thread has been about false positives. Innocent people being falsely accused of shoplifting. The difference between committing a crime and not committing a crime is not simply semantics.
What's even more tricky is that almost all (successful) projects start out small and it takes immense discipline and foresight to catch up on "maturity" at the right stage in the project.

Chances are, you'll get bogged down with these "maturity" things from the start and never build anything successful, or you'll go fast (perhaps catching a glimpse of success) until nobody can keep working on the project once those "maturity" things start to matter.
It's not useful biking infrastructure, because of the way that the Cross-Kirkland Corridor is arranged. You can't really get to work, or to the store, or to school with it. Unless you work at Google, it's only really useful as a recreational route.

The purpose of redeveloping the rail line into a biking path wasn't to improve biking infrastructure, or reduce Kirkland's dependency on cars. It was to hamstring any mass transit that might go into that space.
I've posted about this before, but the reason EA is such a horror show is due to their history. EA was created basically as government-mandated punishment against Volkswagen for dieselgate. So it's not that surprising that they didn't feel incentivized to deliver a great product.

Compare that to the Supercharger network, where providing a great experience is a huge selling point for Teslas.

I might despise Musk, and I'm not a fan of Tesla lately, but you do really have to hand it to them: they were prescient and put in all the hard work of building out the best fast charging network, so good for them for reaping the benefits.
There’s a gap between outright fraud and analysis not making a completely accurate comparison. In this topic it’s tricky to make sure you’re comparing representative trips: for example, one study earlier this year found that Tesla's reported safety improvement disappeared after accounting for disparities in the age of the drivers, the type of driving, age of the vehicle, etc. – teenagers making bad choices cause a lot of crashes but the kind of people who buy a high-end car tend to be much older and are less likely to drive like that in any vehicle. Waymo is definitely saying things which look like they’re trying to compare apples to apples but it’s not hard to trip over data like this even if your intentions are fully honest. The fact that they’re publishing data and encouraging independent review is a good sign.

I do. And I do it in expectation that this is what will happen, because that's the whole point. Installing software on remote machines is normal for provisioning tools, but decidedly not normal for SSH clients.
Does any portion of the money Wikipedia regularly begs for get paid to mum?
It's simply a question of fraud. Fraud is a crime. And aiding and abetting to commit a crime is a crime as well.

This. Uber is very expensive because a human has to get paid. If people could get a car "subscription" for X number of dollars a month and forgo cost of gas, maintenance, insurance, and all the other headaches meanwhile,a company could leverage economies of scale to do all of this I think people would move away from a private car.

This would also reduce the cost on doordash type services so if instead of paying an extra $10 for your food/groceries/everyhing to be delivered you paid orders of magnitude less.

This might reduce the traffic on the road.

The pessimist in me makes me think once they got sufficient market share price would go back up and wed be worse off than before lol.
What are you going to do? Not use Tor? That's hardly better.
This is not "failure of government," it is competing (even reasonably good-faith) interests, which are today in unanticipated opposition as a result of (wait for it) climate change.

No climate change? No problem.

Since that's not going anywhere, something has to give. A renegotiation of the distribution of previously externalized costs between insurers, government, and society is inevitable.
My first guess would be it is supposed to sound like "Dear Imogen". However, it wasn't initially conceived of as a reference to anything. The "Dear" was tacked on to qualify the name [1].

Yeah this is what I mean that moderation isn't "solved", and maybe it can't be. I personally think that it's an issue of having so many big companies that try to control what gets shown. Ideally it should be up to the local communities what they want to see and not see, which is something a decentralized system can offer.
>I wish all of these benchmarks pitted autonomous cars against a somewhat comparable user group – say professional taxi drivers – over just a general sampling of the population

This depends on what type of drivers waymo is displacing. If it's displacing mostly professional drivers, then that substitution would be reasonable, because the choices we have are either professional drivers or waymo. However, if it's displacing "normal" drivers, including "first-time drivers, drunk drivers", then the substitution wouldn't be reasonable because banning waymo would mean those rides would be replaced with "normal" drivers, not super-safe professional drivers.

Likewise. I would really love it if robotaxis worked out and - crucially - were cheap, because I think it could feasibly increase transit usage, not decrease it. It solves the last mile problem in an elegant way. Nobody said you needed to take the taxi all the way to your destination. You could hop on a regional train or light rail, have a robotaxi near-perfectly timed (if we assume the train runs on time...) to pick you up at your destination stop, and ride it to your final destination. Same in reverse. No waiting for a bus to transfer to, no riding the bus slowly stop by stop, no walking from the bus stop to your final destination, etc.

I'm as much of a transit advocate as the next guy, but I think a lot of people blind themselves to how annoying the last mile problem is for a lot of destinations anywhere outside of urban cores. There aren't going to be train stations built at every possible origin point and destination point, and even if there's a robust bus network, transfers, slow speed/frequent stopping, and the walk to/from your destination/origin are pretty damn annoying. They're not the end of the world by any means, to be clear, (I use buses too!) but it's just, if I have a car, why wouldn't I just drive?

Taxis have the potential to solve that in a great way. But I (...and probably most people?) don't currently use them for that purpose since they're way too expensive. As they should be, it's a whole human being tending to your transport personally for twenty minutes or more. If robotaxis can lower the price, it'd be great, but I don't know how confident I am on that happening. The equipment is presumably expensive, the car itself is expensive (though EVs do have much lower maintenance costs), the R&D is expensive. We'll see. Exciting times!
I travelled into London by train recently for the first time in 15 years. 95% of commuters were staring at their phones. Perhaps previously they were staring at newspapers etc. I don’t know. I don’t recall people walking and reading newspapers though. Or while driving. Or when socialising with friends. Anyways, for me it was a depressing sight. The view out of the train window wasn’t.
When I worked in sewer inspection I heard a lot about the rate of degradation of in-ground infrastructure. One thing that was touted a lot was that the math doesn't work out at present; we can't replace infrastructure as fast as it degrades in net. I was curious if the 10 years since I've been NAASCO certified if things have changed or if non-water/sewer infrastructure was potentially different. Turns out, costs average out in the long term between above and in-ground infrastructure: https://www.roads.maryland.gov/opr_research/md-03-sp208b4c-c...
It does spook some people, but sufficiently large portions of the population also like to engage in the very things that cause those collisions, such as using their phone or being distracted, driving inebriated, driving fast, tailgating, etc, such that most people feel okay with others being risky, since they are being risky too.

Of course, when a collision does happen and damages have to be paid, the injured party will of course start advocating for full liability even if they previously had no issues engaging in the risky driving themselves. Which is why this is not reflected at the polls when voting for a politician who would promise cracking down hard on moving violations, with things like cameras and increased police stops.

Tor seem pretty open about where that money is coming from and have DARPA and US goverment funds listed here with explanations:
https://www.torproject.org/about/sponsors/

"U.S. Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor leads the U.S. efforts to promote democracy, protect human rights and international religious freedom, and advance labor rights globally."

"DARPA's Resilient Anonymous Communication for Everyone (RACE) program researches technologies for a distributed messaging system that can: a) exist completely within a given network, b) provide confidentiality, integrity, and availability of messaging"

Both of those seem to align with Tor's goals of privacy and confidentiality.

> You are then testing other peoples software, which is probably not what you want.

And if it is what you want, why would you clutter an unrelated application's codebase with those tests? They are tests that apply to many projects. Ideally they would go alongside the work of the third-party, but failing that, surely the are better found in a new project focused on those tests?
Right, but the anthropomorphizing of that collection of people is in this case counter to the individual people themselves - the employees were not victims of human trafficking, they left for presumably better job offers or to work on something they thought would be more interesting.

It also ignores that the Apple employees hired may not have even contributed to the Watch feature in question, because surely all of Apple works on everything Apple does.
> How/when did these types of regulations come about?

I can't say much about US. As I see it, EU pretty much copied US about that part. There was nothing related to computation in the EU's AI Act projects until few months ago, it was purely a "what kind of data processing are you allowed to do?"
More code means more opportunities for things to go wrong, but I wouldn't go quite as far as saying that all code is tech debt, even though it makes for a good blog post title. Looking at all code in such a pessimistic light doesn't actually seem that useful. It might be one thing if there were adequate measures for "good code", but those hardly exist, or are dwarfed by inadequate measures that are entirely opinion-based. Less code than more might be as good as it gets, but I would rephrase the author's "To avoid technical debt, don’t write code" as "To avoid technical debt, write less code" (though perhaps "fewer codes" may be more grammatically accurate). Code is not bad, and tech debt isn't necessarily bad either. We code to accomplish things, and as much as I despise shitty codebases, even companies with a lot of tech debt often provide a lot of value to both customers and employees. In fact, I would say that tech debt in and of itself is no more a problem than monetary debt in real life, except when it's not being paid off and is collecting interest. We could not only write less code but actually pay off our tech debts, yet the structure of incentives and most companies hardly facilitates that.
Yeah I haven’t touched this stuff in twenty five years. It was sectors not tracks they futzed with.

I suspect, as indicated by comments on this thread, that a lot of HN readers will be upset by losing access to such content.
Its latent space transition is linear, instead of nonlinear, so there's a more parallelizable algorithm for advancing time in it. This makes it much more efficient to train and do inference with in GPUs.

The way it keeps all the representation power of LSTMs is by having the transition vary with the input (but still be linear).
This is not right.

Most damage is from flooding due to storm surge which exists on coastlines. Wind and power outages happen and can take down trees just like elsewhere in the world but the massive destruction is caused by the force and amount of water on the coasts.

Building codes exist on probability of what can happen. When buildings were built, they had codes to follow based on the current time. When they are destroyed, they are rebuilt with new codes such as on stilts, better windows, different materials, etc. It isn’t like we just keep building the same building and expect things to change.

If you do live on the coast anywhere in the US, it should be a general assumption that at some point, that water is gonna be in your house or that your house is gonna be taken out by the water over its existence.

I think the hardest thing about a city like Boston is going to be the areas where the rules of the road go out the window in favor of the social contract. Drop off and pick up at Logan or a sox game can be pretty wild. I don’t think navigating Beacon st or Comm ave will be that big of a deal.
