If you want stress free comfortable commuting, you're going to need to build an efficient way to move people.

Cars are not really an option when it comes to moving people en mass. It's just too low capacity.

Rome's metro system in particular is stymied by buried Roman artifacts and laws for archaeology. That's not really the worst thing, given that NYC subway construction cost are some of the highest in the world.

That said, I saw what Atlanta looks like. Aside from down Atlanta, a lot of Atlanta is literally just low rise, even downright suburban sometime. It's a smaller city than people thought, given that only half a million people lives within its border proper, but nonetheless traffic is somehow a nightmare.
Lol... yea, let's not discuss the 100 deaths a day are caused by automobile collisions. It's not going to help your argument.
It’s disastrous that people with cultist attitudes and superiority complex use “science” in their sentences, while they can’t be further away.
The car company can share the details based on the chassis VIN number rather than driver details.

Then the insurance company grabs the vehicle registration number when you ask for a quote and looks up the VIN on their side based on a security database to prevent resale of stolen cars or similar.

Anonymous data becomes identifiable data...
Can you walk me through the scenario you're envisioning? I'm having a hard time following the series of events that starts with the status quo of TikTok ownership and results in the Chinese state being able to harvest your organs. Can you paint me a picture of a timeline or a series of key turns that would lead to that outcome?

> Uninhabited land is empty of people for a reason: - it’s protected

Almost the entirety of coastal California (and Oregon and WA as well.) It's insane. It's the best climate on the planet and the most protected from climate change.
You've just described every city in California. If you want to enjoy CA's weather and environment, this (or rural life) is the price you pay. For some of us, avoiding bustle by living in the suburbs is a benefit. Do the downtown areas shut down too early? I thought so in my 20s, but now that I'm in my 40's I don't really care.

Also, some people include "nearby SF" when referring to SV. I disagree, but especially since Uber and other companies got big, the geographic definition expanded.
There's plenty of land, it's just not where people want to be.

Around here houses are going up, land is being subdivided, everything is moving.

Anecdote about older folks not staying abreast of the latest: A few years ago, I was being interviewed by a programmer far my senior (in both experience and age). I have my github link on my resume, and the interviewer noticed and asked "What's GitHub?"
I remember this being the recommended way to get random numbers in some programming magazine or textbook, in a BASIC without built-in RAND(). Amazing work to discover this yourself at age 9!

And if you squint, using mouse movements as a source of entropy is still used by some modern programs. Some SSH key generators use it, and I'm sure I've had a Linux installer ask me for it too in recent years. I'm not sure whether this is theatre or whether the OS really can't be relied on to provide suitable entropy itself.
The incentive structures of those funding the university's research department. In many cases, state governments, who themselves are run by congresspeople responding to the incentive structures set out by voters. Those voters are themselves tactically voting to get the best possible outcome in response to the incentive structures set out by voting systems. And the people who decide what the voting system is are the congresspeople they're voting in, who have an incentive to keep the system as it is so they can stay in power.

In other words, it's incentives all the way down. At the national level, there are other factors that dilute the influence of this infinite regression of incentives, such as geopolitics, war, etc. But for states the only real factor that shines through - the green tint in our infinity mirror - is "how much money do we want to spend on secondary education" and the answer is invariably "less than last year" and "can we find someone else to pay for it?"
Indeed, we can intensify or we can reduce fault lines. Labeling old or young folks with worst stereotypes will not solve problems apart from giving jollies to some on social media.

So far for me working with young people has been lot of fun and learning on both sides.

I think you're underestimating how easy it is to cut the cord on an Xbox controller and hijack the signals and just plug the HDMI cable into a capture card.

And this post is showing you an AI that can look at the screen grab and play the game.
I think we played a later version in school and it really imprinted the concept in my brain. Also think the RNG didn’t let probability go below a certain point in that version, remember charging $1000 for a glass of lemonade and making a sale.
Just finishing up a Storybook based on the v8 beta and was pleasantly surprised how far it's come along since I last tried it a few years ago. The auto docs (with the help of react-docgen) while still a bit rough on the edges and buggy in the new release is amazing. I wish the documentation was a bit better in some areas (the examples are usually repeated simple use cases from their demo content like a button) but I was able to achieve most of what I needed and then some.

For those wondering what the use case is, you must not have tried it. It does take work to set up (with each version that's less), but it can be very nice to test in isolation esp in cases where a component is under a login, the 4th page of a 10 page form, etc. Also obviously if you're working on a component library that ships without an app, Storybook can be your development and/or demo app.
The only tried and true metric that HN always falls down to question universally :

"Why did you do that if it doesn't make money?"
When deinit occurs far away from init, RAII starts adding a lot of cognitive burden.

Once a thing "escapes" from where it was created/initialized, it suddenly has a life cycle. Everything in that thing shares in that life cycle. It can cross multiple threads during that lifecycle. When that thing completes its life cycle is unbounded. Consequently, you can run out of intermediate resources (memory, file descriptors, database transactions, etc.) even though you would have enough if they could be reclaimed right now but you can't prove that you can do so.

This is one of the reasons why Rust exists and why it defaults to move semantics. Everything that you need to deallocate a thing is present at all times--you own the thing. If you borrow the thing, you cannot deallocate it. Life is good.

Sorta ...

Sometimes somebody else owns and controls the thing. Sometimes you initialize once and then everything is read-only from that point forward--synchronizing on a single runtime event gate. Not everything is memory and has bounded reclamation time. Sometimes things want different allocators and allocation strategies--you will reclaim some things every 16ms and some things very rarely. Sometimes you want to allocate on one thread and deallocate on another.

A lot of these don't fit RAII all that well because there is a time dimension to them rather than just space.

But then you have things like "reference counting" that's just an absolute nightmare to do without some mechanism like RAII. It's easy to always increment/decrement the reference count, but your performance is terrible--you need compiler elision of those for performance. I tried implementing a reference counted Scheme in C and Zig, and I wanted to blow my brains out from hunting all the reference counting bugs while C++/Rust would have been a breeze. Perhaps I just made a terrible architecture. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not sure what the solution should be.

Rust took a very hard line about not paying runtime costs for things you don't use--that means lots of compile time effort, debug runs that are glacially slow, and blocking certain standard idioms behind "unsafe".

In reality, I'm actually willing to pay more at runtime than I thought as long as my runtime is deterministic. I'm willing to pay a bit at runtime to get a compiler that's two orders of magnitude faster whose debug code is only 25-50% slower than standard. I'm willing to pay at runtime for null and bounds checks. I've got a zillion cores doing nothing--giving up 10% to get a nicer language is perfectly acceptable to me.
Very little land...in all... of North America. That's a big place for such a tight summary lol.

The communities,, space, and zoning are out there, but often many facing the housing issues just aren't willing to move. There's more to it than this obviously, but for every person slamming their lifestyle and expenses against the wall in a trendy area, there are others picking up and moving to Philly, St. Louis, Lexington, etc.
Huh, TIL.

I noticed the stutter too, interesting to see that is what TTS just does now, and not a sign of a human and a sound filter.
Uh, according to the site, he works for Google. Are you sure he didn't just delist himself to stop crawlers in the logs or something?
>We're far, far beyond "we'll just let our well-educated citizens decide for themselves", and it's weird to see someone act like that's how anything works. That idea's been broken for closing in on a century.

So instead we should let our better-educated governing betters and cultural/business elites decide opinion not just for themselves but for the rest of us? Because of course none of them are subject to any sort of self interest, terrible bias, corruption, mendacity or simply being ignorant due to their own cognitive failures?

The very core notion of democracy and free speech is that no one group can be fully trusted to hold the reins of control or opinion by their own decision and imposition on the rest.

Thus you introduce the largest plurality possible of rights for expression and governance to mitigate against the disasters that much more often occur with oligarchy. Far from perfect but your idea of giving any key group control of discourse for the sake of "fighting misinformation" (as if they themselves don't create shit barges of it of their own) is laughable.

Recall please (for example) that the NY Times, which spent the Trump years and beyond practically raving about the dangers of misinformation and foreign influence of opinions also happily played along with the vastly costly lies of the Iraq WMD scandal that was used to justify an invasion costing trillions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives. And it did all this lying at the behest of completely domestic U.S. policy makers and leaders.

That's the sort of cozy opinion/policy leadership practices to which we should be pushing further? Fuck no.
But not everyone develops PTSD precisely because they have innate resilience - at least that's how the theory goes. The resilience doesn't come from the trauma.
Okay, and the linked article isn't saying that every old person faces age discrimination in the industry. It's safe to say that most don't. That doesn't mean it isn't a problem, or that the problem should be ignored.
You could theoretically subclassify cancers all the way down to individual gene mutations, and even then there is heterogeny within one cancer itself. That is the idea behind "personalized medicine" though it's being distorted by hype.

However, medicine is practical, and tries to draw boundaries where different therapies help differently or where there are different pathophysiology going on.

The article was able to draw a new additional boundary. Its relevance is yet to be confirmed with its phenotype or druggability. If it turns out to be useful either in predicting therapy or outcome, it'll stick and oncologists will learn it.

This process has already been repeated a lot in the hematological cancers, where previously cancers like "Hodgkin's lymphoma" have been subdivided as we made new treatments and discovered the individual pathways.
Is work life balance really better when you have to worry bout finding your next gig and also that everything’s on you (don’t have a team/others to fall back on)?
Hi Ron! In ~2000 I drove from south Jersey to deep Long Island and only realized while staring at a server rack that I brought the bag o' CDs that we used for windows deployments, not *nix. Thanks to Robert Moses, the drive in the middle of the night actually wasn't that bad!
As someone in the Northeast US: Many of our highways were designed 80+ years ago, and do not have appropriate acceleration/deceleration lanes.

The terrible drivers are often those with the most timid inputs, especially with regards to acceleration. It is perfectly normal here to need to merge into heavy, 60mph+ traffic from a dead stop, or to need to quickly match speed and identify an appropriate merge spot to not wind up stuck at the end of a ramp.

And it's not like they sit there for 15 minutes waiting for some exceptionally large gap to match their acceleration habits - that would be very annoying to other drivers, but theoretically "safe". They enter in the same length gap as someone that actually uses their gas pedal - but rely on oncoming traffic to hit their brakes/evade, as they fail to get up to speed quickly enough for the small gap they've entered in.

-----

Hard braking is something with fewer reasons it should happen regularly - but I'm still reminded of the usual adage about metrics. Do you really want people to be mentally reluctant to hit their brakes as hard because of the insurance hit? That seems like a recipe for increasing decision time and accidents.
> How do you have 'over-hyped' and 'very impressive' in same sentence. Which is it?

I'm stunned; how would you think they are contradictory? Imagine a transportation that moves with the speed of 1000 km/h. Very impressive, right? Now imagine media everywhere say it moves with the speed of light. Wouldn't this be over-hyping?

> BUT importantly, it NEVER had perfect information. It could only see exactly the same as the human

Maybe we're speaking about different events... In the one I'm commenting on, the AI had some zoom-out, I think 2x (meaning it would see 4 times more at once). Yes it had fog of war, but a zoom out like this is a very significant advantage.

> And. Little unsure on what the argument about APM is saying. It was slowed down to match the human speed,

No it wasn't, not exactly. Imagine that you measure a human racer speed in km/minute, every minute. Then you take the highest measured "average per minute", and program AI to move with that speed at all times. Then you praise AI for its pathfinding algorithm, because using that speed, it beats the human racers.

Yes, if a human racer has to slow down, because e.g. the human is unable to avoid obstacles at maximum speed, it does make the AI being able to move faster, impressive. But few people here would be impressed by a high reflex of a computer, because we all are used to the fact computers can react much faster than humans. It is misleading, however, to allow AI to move faster, and then give it the "spin", as you say, that the AI has won because it was smart, as opposed to being fast.

BTW, I think the AI was either only using one race, or was playing only against one race. This one thing was actually mentioned in the event (once). The APM was mentioned too, I think, but the nuance I describe unfortunately wasn't mentioned.

It makes me sad, because as I said, it is a very impressive technology. But it's hard to fully appreciate something when it is so blatantly over-hyped and when you see so many people around you being mislead and praising AI for achievements that it didn't exactly accomplish.
Probably only true until we achieve AGI, because then it has to be ASI at minimum. I wonder at what point the goal posts can't be moved anymore. Or will we always find some creative way to distance ourselves? I think sometimes this topic scares people so much they immediately get into denial mode.

And I'm not saying AGI is near. I have actually no idea if we need to wait for another breakthrough to enable that or not.

But it's still obvious that “true AI“ is for some people always what computers can't do yet.
> zoning laws are usually locally voted on and approved - if the locals in any given area want to allow business, they can - but lots of people don't want to live close to businesses - so they vote accordingly.

By this logic, it would seem impossible to critique really anything that any democratically elected government does.

I don't think they have ever lived in such a structure. They are probably talking about living in a two story light timber frame apartment from the 70s/80s. The walls are paper thin and you can wake up your neighbor walking in slippers to get a drink of water.

Thats the core of cities, they change! Imagine if 150 years ago, all the farmers and ranchers could block their neighbors from selling/buildings because it "ruins the rural character and will bring bad humors". Most of these communities would have never been built.

I've been thinking recently that our understanding of the world dictates and leads what we do and what we think is possible.

If we think back to the mechanical age, where machinery first started replacing humans, weren't most humans involved in mechanical jobs? I believe we mostly saw ourselves as mechanical objects, sure we had thought, but for most people, their livelihood was not defined by their thoughts, but by their mechanical output. Of course machinery replacing them would be seen as a huge threat.

Now in the information age, we have designed machines that think along side us, and so we move from thinking machines to....

Well, I don't know, I guess that's what I'm asking here.

I work in the health space, and for me it is quite apparent that we once treated our bodies mechanically, then electrically, and now we treat them as information (altering DNA, folding proteins, etc).
I love the idea of the Indie web. But the costs seem prohibitive for someone with 1990s skills like me. I have a personal blog site setup on a shared server for $100/year. But running things like mode.js are a no-go unless I upgrade to a VPS or set up my own aws (or other) sever. I wish there was a way to embrace the indie web with low cost static commercial front ends and offload the bandwidth light, compute intensive backend to my home server.
Someday I’ll take the deep dive into this stuff. Maybe when I retire.

Regardless of how correct you are, or how persuasive you might have been up to this point, uttering this accomplishes nothing and is entirely counterproductive.
