In Europe and Asia, there's always a toilet (usually one per carriage) on a middle or longer distance train. It's only urban trains and metros that don't have them — on these, the expectation is that you use a toilet in the station, and the train is so frequent it doesn't matter if you miss one.

The Brightline website says their trains in Florida have toilets, I don't see why California would be any different.
Average senior engineer salary in Sydney is around AUD180k. There is no trade you can pick up that would get close to that.

It’s true that living anywhere near the Sydney metro is unaffordable though, even on a 180k salary.
I bought them Chrome OS devices and I haven't had to do any tech support since. Phone wise, I have them on Android and I haven't had many problems, but I should have moved them to iOS when they were younger, as I find iOS UI is more stable across upgrades, which tend to leave the phone more or less behave how they used to and new behaviours are usually behind new settings/buttons. And elders who are not used to technology usually struggle whenever there are any UI changes.

Libraries are dear to me; they were my first taste of independence away from home. I was in heaven amongst all that potential, and as I got older I'd sometimes check out stacks of books and read a fraction of them.
After reading this shelftalkblog I decided to reduce the number of Holds (I mostly Tag books for later, but I also tended to Hold books more out of anticipation than probable follow-through), especially on the popular books, and kept Holds on the books I was most likely to read. Libraries are a public good and I've been taking advantage for too long; I'll scale back my acquisitiveness and think before I click.
Get the ebook for archival purpose and ditch the paper book when you’re done with your first read through.

If you later find out you want the paper book as home ornament, then spend a little extra to decorate your home.

The two major mistakes we make about books is:

1) we think we have to finish it. No, drop it if it’s boring.

2) we think we have to keep it around. No. Take a picture and write a few notes for your personal blog if you need to keep track. You don’t need it in your room or house.

But dynamically loaded libraries exist, so even if it knows the class is the most derived version out of all classes that exist in all of the statically-linked code through LTO or something, unless it can see the instantiation site it won't be able to devirtualize the function calls without the class being marked as final.
One interesting/funny thing that Japanese visitors to Europe/USA observe is that people in bookstores and libraries are turning their heads to the side in front of the bookshelves.

> the stress of not being well-informed

My experience with people working through a serious medical condition at the end of their life is - people are wildly trying to be informed, about themselves, the condition, the health care system, make good decisions, and...

...it is all just happening to you. You're in a wildly careening metal shopping cart, being banged up while bouncing down a long hill surrounded by speeding traffic, and no matter which way you lean, you're not quite steering.

Seeing this, I wish there were ways people could prepare for this, short of having to lose people in their life, or personally enroll in medical school.

I don't think anyone wants to plan for this stuff. I guess the ones who do have had a few close calls, or lived it vicariously, or really love the ones they'll outlive and are planning mostly for them.
A 1.5x increase is a 43% more than a 1.35x increase. Also, why wouldn't labor costs be factored into that inflation increase, and why would infrastructure costs be more than inflation?

I do pay for my library card, because my city doesn't have a library (unless you count bookmobile), and the nearby cities that do have libraries charge you to get a library card if you aren't a resident. And it is approx. $9.99/mo.
I'm an American living in Germany. When I first arrived, the way Germans write the digit 1 surprised me. They write it with the upper hook thing very long, almost like a capital lambda (Λ), which sometimes makes 1 and A visually ambiguous. This isn't really a problem, just something funny about moving to a new country.
> Everyone can easily access the books they want.

Not particularly. New niche-interest non-fiction books are expensive ( $60+ ) and tend to have short print runs, after which their price on the second-hand market quickly escalates. And few are available as ebooks.

I've had to let a lot of books pass me by, even before they've been printed, simply because I couldn't afford them.
> However if your users are speaking aloud you might want a word list representation, “TIDE ITCH SLOW REIN RULE MOT”, like s/key rfc 1751. DO NOT invent your own word lists; there are an infinite number of dragons lying in wait for idioms, homophones

An unfortunate example. That's TIED HITCH SLOE REIGN RULE MOW? With only two parity bits, you can't even be sure this decoding is invalid.

RFC 1751 [0], from which this example comes, doesn't envisage the encoding being used in oral communication. Instead, it makes codes easier the user to "read, remember, and type in".

For oral transmission among professionals, sticking to the 26 upper case letters and relying on the NATO alphabet for encoding is a reasonable choice. Getting codes from untrained users in a lossy oral environment is still an unsolved problem.

>"IBM wished to purchase CP/M outright, whereas DRI sought a per-copy royalty payment in order to protect its existing base of business. The meeting ended in an impasse over financial terms, but Gary believed they had essentially agreed to do business.

Kildall tried to renew the negotiations a couple of weeks later. IBM did not respond because, in the meantime, Bill Gates purchased an OS from Seattle Computer Products that was written to emulate the look and feel of CP/M. He then sold a one-time, non-exclusive license to IBM, which used the designation PC DOS. With great foresight, he retained the right to license the product to others as MS-DOS."

I foresee an imminent exploitation of AI for a cornucopia of deceptive outbound lead generation pipeline processes, essentially fabricating mirages of nonexistent personas chatting up real humans in a myriad of ways perhaps finishing with real human closers.

And in a darker side, I see new cults and social movements being shepherded by unknown malicious individuals and state actors. While Roger Ailes lacked AI content generation and robot sockpuppets for the malicious manufacturing of gradual sentiment manipulation of a populace, it is reasonable to assume there is far greater potential for masses of ignorant people lacking in knowledge and education are now more vulnerable than ever to being tricked into committing ever greater heinous acts.

There are already international enslaved scammer boiler rooms targeting American gig economy providers and customers such as the case of the elderly man who murdered an Uber driver, but adding AI just automates the process.

i’m currently in paris where the only “public” WC in the train stations still require payment and none of the stops between terminals on the RER seem to have had public restrooms on the platforms. it feels quite similar to my home city in the US.

i find there to be quite a few things to love about Europe over the US, but the idea of toileting as superior in Europe than in the US strikes me as odd. colloquially, i chalk it up to travel/cultural anxiety and stress because i can find a place/way to toilet in SF, NYC, or Orlando far more easily than in Paris, Florence, or Frankfurt
1) There is not enough data in the entire world to train a trillion parameters large language model. And there is limited use for synthetic data, yet (we need an internal adversarial/evolutionary model like AlphaZero for that, which I think will be developed soon, but we are not there yet).

2) Models are not linearly scalable in terms of their performance. There are 8B parameter models (Zephyr-Mistral) routinely outperforming 180B parameter models (Falcon). Skill issue, like they say.

3) Even if you are an evil genius, you need money and computing power. Contrarily to what you might be reading in the media, there isn't much capital available to evil geniuses on a short notice (longer term arrangements might still be possible). And even if you have money, you can't just buy a truckload of H100s. Their sales are already highly regulated.
This! I'm from Oregon but live in Thailand, where there are ZERO libraries.

Are you talking about real time or faster simulation of complete cellular metabolism incl. neural activity across an entire mouse brain? If not, then I'd say I can run a simulation like this on my home computer. It will just take forever to compute something meaningful. But if yes, that is insanely impressive, even though this won't scale to the human brain any time soon since it has 1000x more neurons and exponentially more synapses.
>The reason those incidents aren't found is simple: too much data and too much alerts to handle, given that CSIRT teams are less than 10 people even for a company the size of Siemens

Hey, wanna guess where they're trying to push AI driven "insights" right now? That's right, all of cybersecurity roles.

Rather than add headcount to teams, or spin up new teams to section off pieces of a business that might need more customized attention, AI is now being shoved down the throat of security engineers and SIRT teams to handle the massive amount of data involved and to present a human with some little nugget of information to act on, all the while sweeping away the rest as irrelevant.

Useful as a tool? Sure. Able to reduce workload on existing teams? Absolutely. Able to replace the need for more human eyes looking at the problem space and figuring out ways to filter the data for meaningful events? Eh, maybe but I'm not going to hold my breath on it either.

It's the same story with AI across every industry right now.

My understanding is that it will share with the Metrolink station already in Cucamonga.

Also there are already plan for a major bus hub for the regional area in Cucamonga as well.

The magic that makes this work is that the right of way is down the middle of the existing I15 freeway. No real impact studies are likely necessary for that route, and once they hit Barstow, it’s quite flat.

Friday commute traffic out of LA and OC to the area at the bottom of the pass is absolutely impacted by the crush of traffic heading over the Cajun pass into the high desert. Not all of it is Vegas bound, but much of it is.

I am curious how they will get through the pass. I’m assuming they’ll lease ROW from either UP or BNSF, as they own the two sets of tracks currently over the pass.

"Mars is still a pipe dream."

Well, I reacted to this sentence, which is a bit ambiguous. But I don't think there is a big gap between manned flight and colonization in case of Mars. Mars is very far, which means that from the very beginning, the crews will have to maximize their independence from the Earth.

You can supply Moon bases by cargo from the Earth easily, but people on Mars, even if only dozens during the initial period, will have to optimize everything for self-sufficiency as much as possible.

And if you prioritize self-sufficiency, you need more people, more robots, more factories = in a word, colonization comes naturally from that.

Surprisingly the researchers missed major features of the digital nomad appeal.

1. A strong desire to get more out of life.
2. The fact that marketing to this niche is psychographical not demographical.

Not new concepts in the travel, or other industries, but as the numbers of people associating with digital nomadism grows, the niche can open up larger markets.

My own 4 year old startup, Nomad Stays, was created to solve some of the lifestyle sourcing issues that living 9 years as a digital nomad, and visiting over 100 countries had shown me was hard.

Having experienced the post-privatization decline of public services a few times I'm of the opinion that public transport, being a societal good, should be publicly funded, publicly owned and funded well. Rail is especially expensive to maintain and profit from. Private companies tend to reduce maintenance to a bare minimum or less in the name of efficiency, resulting in the infrastructure declining whilst profits rise. Then the government steps back in to fund repairs to a critical service, indirectly funding the profits. That's definitely a typical capitalist grift for "too big to fail" companies. For those that don't like public money spent on infrastructure its a not a binary choice of to spend the money or not, it's inevitably when to spend it and how.

All OOP languages have it, the issue is related to changing the behaviour of the base class, and the change introducing unforceen consequences on the inheritance tree.

Changing an existing method way of calling (regular, virtual, static), changing visibility, overloading, introducing a name that clashes downstream, introducing a virtual destructor, making a data member non-copyable,...
Copyright has a thing called the first sale doctrine. You buy a book and now that copy is yours. You can sell it to someone else or lend it out etc., which is what libraries do. They don't have to negotiate with publishers at all, they just go to a book store and buy books.

Publishers claim that ebooks are totally different and have to be licensed instead of purchased because it's the internet. This is, of course, a naked money grab, but then they threaten to sue anyone who tries to call them on it. Most libraries don't have the resources to litigate it. The Internet Archive is currently making the attempt. Give them money or call your legislators and tell them to pass a law making it clear that the first sale doctrine applies to digital.
Caution! If you compare across languages like that, not all virtual calls are implemented equally.
A C++ virtual call is just a load from a fixed offset in the vtbl followed by an indirect call. This is fairly cheap, on modern CPUs pretty much the same as a non-virtual non-inlined call.
A Java/C# interface call involves a lot more stuff, because there's no single fixed vtbl offset that's valid for all classes implementing the interface.

Elites are always worried about the labor crisis - “nobody wants to work”. Usually this is about blue collar work, and their desire to underpay and overwork service/laborers.

Globally, this class of people definitely wants to reduce literacy to keep a stream of manual labor inflowing.
You make it sound nefarious for them to loan power tools somehow, while it seems like it's just an identified community need niche that they can service that no other organization will, the same as offering free tax advice or ESL classes or anything else.
Then go after them for monopolistic abuses. Arguably Lina Khan is the first FTC chair to be making noise about it yet the only thing about Microsoft has been their OpenAI partnership because it's sexy & nothing about their traditional marketplace participation. The EU is going after them a bit more aggressively & having some success. Ultimately this would still be the US government's failings - claiming that makes Microsoft a national security threat is a joke & disingenous.

I know the history of MS anti-trust fairly well having grown up during the core part of their monopolist years - now they're part of the familiar oligopaly that's strangling tech.

> and we know that all monopolies require government enforcement to prevent others from competing...

Do we know that? That may be true of government run monopologies, but I'm pretty sure most marketplace monopolies rely on lack of government enforcement. For example, here's some analysis showing how US case law makes the government wary of going after Amazon for driving Quidsi out of business & forcing an acquisition by Amazon: https://cei.org/blog/amazons-private-labels-dont-threaten-co.... Ironically US does enforce rules against dumping from international players which shows that it realizes the harm that such activity can have, it just chooses to allow it for domestic players abusing smaller domestic players.
