Post 9/11, the USA had the moral authority to "do something" in Afghanistan. Iran, Russia, and nearly everyone else offered to help. Alas, whereas GHWB was an internationalist, the Cheney Admin's neocons were belligerently stubborn unilateralists. So instead of seizing the opportunity to reset troubled relations (and boost their internal reformers), we further spited them (and empowered their hardliners).

Further, Afghanistan was a failed state. Iran and Pakistan were struggling to manage the refugees. And could do nothing to address the flood of drugs plaguing their people. Afghanistan's neighbors wanted us, needed us, to help them restore stability.

Lastly, the Cheney Admin won in Iraq without firing a single shot. Hussein conceded to ALL of our demands. If Bush had simply declared victory and gone home, he'd've become an int'l hero and considered one of our greatest presidents. (Until Katrina.)

Such a stupid waste. So many dead, so much wrecked and wasted, the middle east further destabilized... Et cetera.
Noise will be about the same, it's the people honking their horns at traffic that are the real noise problem. But with a toll there will be less cars and then less horns honked.
I wonder if the parking should be taxed instead of tolling the bridge.

It's one of the funny things of the Raspberry Pi Pico W: The Infineon CYW4343 has an integrated ARM Cortex-M3 CPU, so the WiFi/BT chip is technically more advanced than the actual RP2040 (which is a Cortex-M0+) and also has more built-in ROM/RAM than what's on the Pico board for the RP2040 to use.

And yeah, you can't really buy sprite-based video chips anymore, and you don't even have to worry about stuff like "Sprites per Scanline" because you can get a proper framebuffer for essentially free - but now you might as well go further and use one microprocessor to be the CPU, GPU, and FM Synthesizer Sound Chip and "just" add the logic to generate the actual video/audio signals.
Good. We Londoners absolutely support that.
But we've known about the potential for negative leap seconds for at least decades now (UTC described them in the 70s).
It's not a critic to Budget Kanban devs, it's a critic to modern UIs and to single-entry bookkeeping in general.

A small example: let's imaging you auto-import your groceries thanks to some supermarkets that offer csv export of tickets. If you track expenses you do not know nothing beside a total amount or at maximum a total amount per vendor. If you track in double-entry you can slice your transactions as much as you want: you have the total amount of groceries, the total amount per vendor, but potentially the total amount of cheese, meet, salad and so on. The total amount of cheese regardless of where you bought it I mean. Automagically you have your stock and also a diary balance of what you eat. All on the same data.

Budgeting up front is the same, you can create nth accounts and "move money" between them, with all balancing options at hand.

No UIs can compete with autocompleted text and views eventually generated from it, entirely user-constructed, with graphs of any kind, statistics and so on.

Finally there is a bottomline: tracking finances, notes, ... are long-term stuff, switching tools in most cases, especially switching modern tools, is a nightmare. Text can be manipulated easily and any workflow in the end might be bend easily, UIs are a different story, switching even if you have some export-then-import ability mean also learn a new workflow adapting yourself to the tool instead of the contrary. So far NO ONE on Earth have succeeded crafting something as flexible as text an UIs built out of it.
add that waiting longer also increases the replacement rate.
Those in the know are familiar with OCI, etc. but (without hard data to back me up) I think it's still fair to say that the majority of people (lay people, if you will) consider them the same thing by virtue of ignorance.
Keller's argument (as stated) is that it doesn't take up much die space. Hiriki's argument is that it doesn't consume much power. Neither addresses dmitrygr's argument, which is about performance and bottlenecks. (It could use very little power and very little space and still be a very big bottleneck.)

That doesn't mean that dmitrygr is correct. It means that everyone trying to answer him is arguing about the wrong thing.
1 ton of fumes / 50 people is better than 0.1 ton of fumes for 1 person.

The buses are being replaced over the next few years in the MTA capital plan anyway.
That’s what MacRuby was. There was a time when you could develop native, compiled Mac applications using Ruby as a first-class language. For a while, MacRuby was looking to be the lightweight alternative to Objective-C. Unfortunately, the project was killed around the same time Apple released and started promoting Swift. I don’t know that there was any definite reason given (not that there ever is) but my understanding at the time was that Apple wanted a language developed in-house rather than adopting something developed somewhere else.
One of the purported use cases. I’m not aware of any successful implementation.
> My point is which externalities you are considering, and which ones a city is trying to account for. Cost of building and maintaining asphalt is one externality. A city might consider other things like congestion, noise, and emissions. Pedestrian injuries and fatalities. Green space. Space allocated to parking vs additional homes and businesses.

Yes, yes. I understand that you don't like cars. You keep ignoring the part where I say that I'm not opposed to capturing externalities. Those things are, in fact, externalities.

You have to do it fairly. When your rule ends up impacting everyone who lives in Manhattan, even if they don't own a car, then your rule is either not about capturing externalities, or it's badly designed.

In this particular case, the MTA is not concerned about what you're concerned about. The MTA is concerned about getting more money for the MTA, and this is a somewhat craven way for them to do it without huge political backlash. They know that left-wing Manhattanites will throw their lower-Manhattan neighbors under the bus in the guise of "reducing cars", and otherwise won't think very deeply about how this is a general purpose tax on everyday life.
Emulator, compiler, these are the two I'd recommend. You can definitely find ample tutorials and books on the two topics, but maybe for other languages. You can easily switch to C++.

This is a valid point, but as a hobbyist pilot, damn that aircraft is beautiful. It may not replace the Boeing, but it would certainly replace a Gulfstream or Pilatus.
Unregistered car fines are probably less than the cost of the car in many use cases.
I think there's a lot of potential in combining immersion cooling with utility-scale heat pumps. The heat from the coolant isn't high enough to produce power on its own, but it's constant.
Exactly, which is why I mentioned double parking in my previous comment[0].

It's a USD$115.00 ticket for double parking and delivery trucks do so even when there's space for them to park legally, lest they get blocked in by another truck -- it's just the cost of doing business.

And it's disgusting. Streets which should have four lanes of traffic are reduced to one or two lanes with all the double-parked trucks. Those fines should be $1000+ and entering into Manhattan from anywhere in a car should be at least $100. Sadly, no one asked me. And more's the pity.

There’s an old saying: “If you can only be good at one thing, be good at lying, because then you’re good at everything.”

The Street’s consensus seems to be that we should be making big enough screens to display the number seven trillion in decimal notation.

Altman has said all kinds of things. He said that Green Dot should buy Loopt, he said that Autodesk should buy Socialcam, he said that he contemplates putting ice nine into the glass of people who cross him, he said that Larry Summers should be given authority over anything but a prison cell.

I’m a big believer in aligned incentives and it seems pretty counter-productive to let all that slide and then backpedal when he tells the truth about the price tag. I’m pro-no-filter-Altman.

"Looking holistically, our end-to-end LLM pretraining pipeline has become nearly 4x more compute-efficient in the past ten months."

Thanks for the talk link, it completely kept me engrossed and was a pleasure to watch! Addendum question: what is the state of database drivers for Elixir? Does it have mature libraries for Postgres for eg? I imagine if it's targeting web development, it will need those.
NY/NYC only charges sales tax on clothing over $110 per item.

In addition to the giant malls you mentioned, there's American Dream in East Rutherford. Parking isn't free there though. And all its clothing stores are closed on Sundays. (Ditto for the Paramus malls re: Sunday.)

Standard comment about how one shouldn't use raw life expectancy in this kind of argument. Here you should use the life expectancy of people with at least one child. It's irrelevant to the argument how many people die before having children or at what age they die.

In my case, my grandfather did become a great grandfather, even though he, my parents and my sister all had children pretty late. He just lived a very long time.
I sometimes wonder what society would look like today without it. It would be vastly different.
To the people dismissing the idea of binarising vectors: Fair criticism, but consider the fact that you can also train a model with a loss function that approaches a binary behaviour, i.e. so that the magnitude per dimension plays an insignificant role and only the sign of the dimension carries information. In that case you can use the binary vector for search and ranking.
Does this software hide the 5.5 hours per day spent doomscrolling on reddit, or does the lawyer have to figure that out for themselves?
> I would be pretty ticked off.

Then the problem is with you. Like I've repeated, it is not about the food, it's about the company. You're thinking about your effort and your expenses, but inviting somebody for dinner is a nice gesture. What if you burnt the food by mistake while stressing about in the kitchen? Should the guest have a right to be mad because they're not getting their delicious meal? Of course not (and I hope I didn't need to state this). So why should you be ticked off if somebody does not eat at a dinner? Exception if you are only two people, and it's really about the food. But then I'd expect you to combine things ahead.

> "Oh, don't worry, I ate ahead of time"

That's not something you tell and not something you ask.

> How is it a better outcome for the guest to remain unfed, food to go to waste, and the host to have this information sprung on them at the last moment?

Because it's not about the food. You eat the leftovers for lunch the next day. You have something at home that you can make the guests if they're really hungry and can't eat the main meal.

If you're invited for dinner it's not about you or your aching belly. It is about having a more intimate meeting with other people. So don't bother them about your diet unless they ask, and don't go on an empty belly. The guests are not there to get "fed", inviting somebody for dinner is an excuse to have a nice time in a relaxed environment with people you like or want to know better.
Show HN: A new provisioning tool built with mgmt

Who are you talking about here?
There's a lot more happiness from going to 1.50$/meal from 1$/meal at every meal across an entire year than buying an XBox at the end of the year and not being able to afford games. Poor people know what it's like to have little money for food, that first jump is often a very high priority.

Where exactly peoples breaking points are varies, but you can be quite poor and still have some wiggle room. 1.50/meal vs buying used clothes is easy etc.

So sure it might be real maple syrup on the cheapest pancakes it's possible to make, but it's well worth it.
The Problem with Goals
Goals are good for setting a direction, for giving you something to achieve. But systems are how you make progress. Goals are for the future. Systems give you something actionable and satisfying to do in the present.
Truly. I had no idea anyone was still using cheques in 2024. Why weren't they simply doing bank transfers? I don't know if you even could buy a car with a cheque in Australia.

In fact we're ending the cheque system entirely in the next few years. I'm 34 and have never written a cheque, and only received about 4 - none of which were in the last 5 years.
The FreeBSD folks test their code for these things and it works:

Sure, but I think you have to consider how most people shop: if they see the bottle of maple syrup as 3 times the cost of its competitor, that's the comparison they see, especially if they have no strong emotional connection to maple syrup itself. Could they make the stretch if they wanted to? I'm sure they could, but I imagine there's a hundred other competing groceries that win out when the primary caretaker is grocery shopping. Should they opt for the name brand cereal or the store brand? Detergent? Juice? I don't think most of those grocery item comparisons are as stark as a three-fold difference, so I can appreciate that maple syrup may not make the cut for many people - even if the difference is not all that much in dollar terms.

What a cheerful and thoughtful exploration of some global scale complexities and topics. A great read!

I’m inclined in the same direction as the geophysicist- computer networks are now the primary consumers of exact time, so anchoring to an atomic clock and adjusting our social clocks seems necessary.

No, it's everything south of 60th, and essentially every ingress/egress to the city, other than Randalls Island, the GW, and the Bronx.
Tire wear also contributes the most to PM2.5 pollution, and EVs are heavier and produce more wear
> You can just smear a second by speeding up a clocks temporarily. And it will counteract the drift between UTC and TAI.

No, you cannot "just" do this in many instances. Some folks (especially in regulated industries) need to have a close link to UTC, and so purposefully smearing things would be non-compliant.
Yes, round-trip bus and train fare work out to lower than $15 per day by a pretty large margin. If you were to only go into the city and out via subway/train i.e. two rides a day it would work out closer to around $6 per day which is already lower than the $15 cost which also doesn't include cost of gas and parking making it likely much higher of a cost for cars. Of course many people take the train many more times than that per week but thats where OMNY comes in with a per week maximum cost for using transit.

If you use OMNY there is a max you can be charged per week. Essentially all rides are free after your 12th ride per 7 day period. Since the cost of a ride on busses or subway is $2.90 that works out to a max of ~$35 per week for unlimited rides all over the city via train or bus.

I don't live in NYC anymore, but when I did I could never imagine owning a car given the financial burden not being justifiable, but obviously those that do have one are likely in a much higher tax bracket than I am, or are going there for business purposes.
And yet this is directly in opposition to the old OKCupid data in which men rating women was a bell curve while women rating men was almost a power law (or highly skewed curve).

And the breeeding age opinions are most critical to the people who most care about attractiveness.

It's nice when the 60 year old grandparent thinks you're attractive. It matters whether the 22 year old clerk thinks you're attractive.
I read Silicon Snakeoil when I was much younger in the internet's infancy and though it was completely out of touch. I think even he has admitted it didn't pan out has he predicted.

We both still think Workplace was a magical product. Unfortunately, because it was a direct fork of Facebook's codebase, it was never really built from the beginning with work in mind and is very much built for very large companies. Patchwork was built from the beginning with product teams in mind, so you'll see everything from our integrations to builtin workflows are much more geared towards that.
If you live is Southern Europe you already know this is just another attempt to waste taxpayer money while claiming to "do something" about "piracy". Of course, software "piracy" has absolutely nothing in common with real piracy, it's just a term used to brand people downloading copyrighted stiff as dangerous criminals.
An argument for discrimination is that one then gets highly talented people from the discriminated-against class who stick upon their glass ceilings; I first heard this hypothesis as the British empire having been headed by English but run by Irish, Native, Scots, and Welsh administrators.

“I can’t think of a good argument for why this is okay. No security person is ever comfortable with this, no matter what consent we get from the general public. The general public just doesn’t know how this stuff works,” Canahuati wrote in an email, included in the court documents.
I think that's the point; language is language.

If there's some fundamental limit of what type of intelligence the current breed of LLMs can extract from language, at some point it doesn't matter how good or expansive the content of the training set is. Maybe we are finally starting to hit an architectural limit at this point.
> on-premise

I think the correct term here would be "on-premises".

A premise and a premises are not related concepts except in the sense that the "premise" of this comment is to let you know that "premises" is the correct term to use.

I'll also accept "on-prem" because it could reasonably be a shortened form of "on-premises" (even though most people probably don't realize this and are instead reinforcing their misconception when they use it).
> scorched-earth, mass-graves liquidate every single participant in the old regime, and all of their supporters

I feel like this would be an excellent way to speed-run the creation of a large group of people (and their descendants) who hate us _specifically_, and are even more motivated to cause us harm. I can't imagine many people would say "yep, I guess you won!" when you've killed their fathers, uncles, grandparents, and older brothers.
Isn't that because the replications only looked at a selected subset of all the possible literature? You can be almost sure that if an article's conclusion hinges on a wide interpretation of the experimental result, or the stimuli haven't been sampled properly (and who knows the distribution of stimuli?) or the subjects are first year psych students, and the proof is a rejection of the null hypothesis, that it cannot be replicated. The worst offenders are those that conclude their theory is true because the theory they argue against is rejected.
"Don't look up" is a sort of spiritual successor. Of course, as you said, there's room for more, now that half the population is TikTok'ed.

Not wanting to be too nitpicky, but the congestion charge includes the City of London and the West End. The City of London is 1 sq mi (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London) and the congestion charge zone is 8 sq mi total (https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/tips-advice/108908/london-cong...).

I'm not sure how this compares to Manhattan's zone in terms of area.

People normally react with disgust, not rational calculation, to tolls. They'll drive in ways that not only discounts any value to their time, bu lt also in ways where the additional mileage costs more than the toll they're avoiding.

So, give it a chance and then ratchet up. $15 would certainly upset me.
I was looking for a mention of the Strategic Defense Initiative, aka "Star Wars". Among the technical issues the program never overcame was the ability to adequately recognize incoming missiles and guide anti-missile defenses to the target. Much like the Igloo White and Assault Breaker systems mentioned in the article, it failed to distinguish decoys from real.

"According to a 2022 study from the Environmental Protection Agency, the average weight of a car is 4,094 pounds."[1]

Going from 1 person of 200lb to 4 people totaling 800lb (in a 4,000lb car) increases the damage by less than an additional car (4,800 / 4,200) ^ 4 = 1.71

According to the article she was arrested and spent the night in a leaky cell with no place to sit.
