I hate government authoritarianism, but in my mind the only answer is to force robot labor tied to individual humans instead of corporations.
Some kind of coded link so one human operator must be living and healthy and somewhat more than homeless to control the edge cases of the robot messing things up.
As the companies get bigger and more monopoly they at least have to support more humans at least somewhat.
I did the same with a similar outcome.

I think the throughput is currently quite limited because of low levels of water in the natural lakes close to Panama which are used for both Panama's drinking water and for the locks in the canal, so they're restricting the number of ships per day...

Knowing who Elon Musk is and what he does is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, I know better than to give my money to that asshole. On the other hand, that asshole is constantly taking up space in my head. On the gripping hand, both of those standpoints are, more or less, useless.

Show HN: I tried reading an English essay vertically like traditional Japanese [pdf]
Hello HN,

I wanted to read vertical like traditional Japanese but I can't read Japanese, so I wrote an App Script to convert Paul Graham's Maker's Schedule Manager's Schedule in a vertical format.

It's not very useful but I had some fun trying to read it. It starts topright.
In terms of spoken explanations, YouTubers like those often write scripts beforehand. An alternative to following a script is to freely speak when recording audio but just edit out a lot - any vocalized pauses like "um" or any stumbling over words or irrelevant tangents - sometimes even attempting the statement multiple times until it sounds perfect.

What the approaches have in common is knowing what you want to say.

Beyond speech, those channels heavily use visual aids to convey what they mean. The use of visuals can amplify and focus your message so that the audience has a clear understanding of what you're talking about, and it's just a more entertaining way to digest a description if you can see images and animations and the video has an overall theme and flow.

>You could find this sort of support network probably for any underrepresented demographic in any profession or context

>This is America, there are organizations for any cause and identity. We have scholarships for left-handed people and Syrians for President Nixon pins

Those examples you listed, combined, don't get a tenth of the funding that WWC does. Nor do they have the same scale of industry backing. The last link is an opinion piece, not a nonprofit for "underrepresented" groups.

>No idea why such an entity receives this sort of tiresome culture war pushback.

Because WWC is ideologically aligned [0]; they picked a side in the culture war.

iOS also has screensharing through FaceTime which is great for cases like this.
Apple is supposed to release a whole slew of new AI features in the next major release of iOS, so maybe in a few months?
in my experience:

1. linuxmint for PCs / laptops => either the cinnamon or mate edition <== for older hardware!!

and yes: semi-cheap brother or kyocera laserprinter - they also work like a charme with linux-based desktops ... but avoid the cheapest ones which sometimes need the windows-software for printing :)

2. either android phones or simple feature-phones with big buttons targeted at sight-impared / elderly people.

if you buy them new, avoid the ones which do not support LTE/4G ... depending on which country you are in: here in central/west europe they start to switch off UMTS/3G soon, so the old ones will fall back to GSM/2G.

if they don't need a computer:

3. android tablet for media consumption ... with at least a 10 inches screen, because of sight imparement!

The new set of locks in the Panama canal use "water-saving basins" to reduce the amount of water lost for each cycle of the locks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal_expansion_project...

I guess in principle something like this could also be retrofitted to the existing locks.

Wait, people still use this benchmark? I hear there's a huge flaw on it.

Ugh that is terrible. Unfortunately given that United is basically a monopoly I doubt they’ll face any consequences. Meanwhile it’s yet another hit for smaller business and another hit for consumers whose privacy has been violated.
And yet, they exist. That's the point. These sorts of groups all exist in one fashion or another. You quibble about the amount of funding involved, but ultimately they all exist within the same framework of interest groups for those who ascribe to certain identities. That is a phenomenon that precedes any such "culture war" observed by a narrow time perspective. It is something that predates de Tocqueville.

Friends/allies don't spy on each other. [1] For one second imagine the outrage that would have occurred if it were the other way around.

The US does not operate in the interest if the EU. It will always be "America First" and if that means fucking over a European country or all of Europe, they will. I don't blame them for this as it is in essence their job to protect them selves but Europe needs to realize that even Article 5 in NATO will not protect them if the US doesn't want to.

The US operates on this planet only in their final interest and if that means ignoring international laws and signed treaties so be it. In fact the US has recently claimed that UN Security Council resolutions are non-binding to the outrage of most UN members. [2]

Static types are really good for describing invariants, I definitely agree.

But it does also describe a lot of implicit invariants. The LoginUser you've defined has the implicit invariant that a LoginUser only has 3 fields. It is very possible for someone to write a function that relies on a LoginUser only ever having 3 fields, which then breaks if you ever extended LoginUser. This is similar to the example that the article mentions at the start, where a thing that someone assumed would always fit in one memory region no longer did, and that caused all kinds of problems.

Those kinds of implicit invariants are the ones that are tricky to make explicit, even in strongly-typed languages.

Ammonia is amazing.

I have always used it to cycle any new aquarium.

The nitrogen cycle.

The theory is that by adding small amounts of ammonia to fresh water it slowly develops Nitrites and Nitrates creating an eco climate perfect for fish and plants.

Off the top of my head you initially develop Nitrites and then the Nitrates take over. This is when the water is ready for the introduction of your fish.

Of course you need proper filtration to keep the system going

Does this mean they plan to go public once they have consumer traction, close their source like Fritz! did, and ultimately find ways to squeeze their consumer base once they stop innovating...?
An important difference is that in programming, it is often better to do the same thing with less code (result).

I don't mean producing cryptic code-golf-style code, but the aspect that all the stuff you produce you have to maintain. This is certainly different from a novel author who doesn't care so much about maintenance and is probably more concerned about the emotions that his text is producing.

>Because the key here is that this is not the 1970's anymore, when all guns were complicated.

I take issue with this - computers are far, far more complex now than they were in the 70's, which is why denying the language-users responsibility for fully understanding the language-designers intentions is such a farce.

>If a language requires me to RTFM is at a big disadvantage with any other language that allows me to easily learn by doing.

There are no languages under the sun which do not require some degree of study, and to claim that it should not be so is simply delusional. All language must be learned before it can be properly used - some people learn by making huge mistakes with the language they use, its true, but the productive, professional use of any and all human language requires its study.

Strange that I had to scroll down this far for this answer. Creating a normal, non-admin user for them will greatly limit the damage they can do as they won't be able to make system-wide changes. I also disabled installing extensions in Edge.
Congratulations, you've avoided providing any useful details about your suggestion again. I'll ask a different way. If your plan is to just add more managers in a single level above the bottom, how do you expect the CEO to deal with the hundreds of managers that would report directly to them, that they would need to relay the company direction to and get feedback from?

Very specifically, without a tree structure, how does this scale for those above this layer of hundreds of managers at the same level in your preferred solution presented here? Are you just assuming that it's not a problem and therefore doesn't need to be addressed?
How about offering them free public housing so they better reintegrate?
I love driving Subarus because their boxer engines are noisier than most car engines, likewise diesel cars like a Ford F-350.

The auditory feedback is faster and easier to process than visually seeing or physically feeling the car move, I can respond quicker and drive more accurately hence it's safer. It's also easier to notice if something is wrong or strange with the engine.

Consequently, I hate driving quiet cars (sedans especially) and find EVs annoying because they have the high pitched, hard to hear motor whine that takes away some of my attention.
having used the same for many years, the only issue is the smell (though I've smelled teens who were worse)

This is exactly what I was looking for. I love Stripe's UI and I was looking for a library of unified components that I can copy paste with my Rails app. Then I saw shadcn and was disappointed that it was only for React.

I'm mostly a backend developer and TailwindCSS really enabled me to be bold with working with frontend CSS. So far I've been copy pasting examples from Tailwind or Flowbite. But "franken" really looks much closer to what I was looking for, a cleaner opinionated unified interfaces that I can put together, works with Tailwind and can be used with Rails.

Thanks for the work on this.

You wouldn't believe how often I have to fight for UUIDs instead of sequencing. UUIDs are great. For all practical purposes 0 possibility of collision; you can use it as an ID in a global system, it just makes so much fucking sense.

But the default is still a number natural number sequence. As if it matters for 99% of all cases that stuff is "ordered" and "easily identifiable" by a natural number.

But then you want to merge something or make double use and suddenly you have a huge problem that it isn't unique anymore and you need more information to identify.

Guess what, an UUID does that job for you, across multiple databases and distributed systems, a UUID is still unique with 99.9999% probability.

The one counter-example every 10 years can be cared for manually.

>The TWO areas where VR is useful, flight simulators and driving simulators, haven't even fully adopted VR simply because it's too much hassle.

I see this come up, over and over again. It's so obviously wrong based on even a basic reading of the market. The Quest is unambiguously the most popular VR headset and it's store has barely any cockpit simulators at all.

As for tennis, one of the perks of Quest is that you can take it anywhere, including a real tennis court: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atuIRf59hzc

At a smaller scale, Eleven Table Tennis is an extremely accurate VR Table Tennis game that supports paddle attachments. It is extremely close to the real thing, professionals use it for practice.
For starting on a simulator you need a remote control (gamepads can technically work but are not recommended). The Jumper T-Lite V2 is around $60. Liftoff is one of the most versatiles simulators and costs around $20 on Steam (there are lots of others).

Then to start in real life, complete kits from BetaFPV or GepRC are around $200 (including drone, rc and analog goggles); you can find them used for about half that, in excellent condition.

But there is NO POINT in trying to fly an actual drone before doing plenty of hours on a simulator: you would crash constantly and destroy the drone before you even get started. So just start on a simulator. 10 hours is the absolute minimum you'll find everywhere, but I'd recommend around 50 (you can listen to podcasts at the same time).

If you want to go the extremely cheap route you can start with a cheap simulator (FPV Freerider, $5) or even a free one (FPV SkyDive?) and use an existing gamepad -- but gamepads really are confusing and don't work like RCs (the throttle joystick should not center automatically).

They've started on the parts they could get land rights quickly, non-contentiously. The other bit, the (sub)urban runs each end will demand much more capex, and probably horrendous NIMBY pushback. Once this is done, the rest will follow.

The speed claims are good: going in saying it will be shinkansen fast, 350kph would be suicidal when it can't do it. Going to market on 125MPH means when they exceed it (and they will) it will be better for them.

I think they have made savvy financial choices. I get your pushback, it will suck living the commute delays either side. You think it kills it. I think it's a forcing function.
Or give them away, or leave them in a little free library for someone else to enjoy. In my old neighborhood somebody else had similar taste in scifi and (as far as I could tell) we traded Asimov books back and forth through the book box in the park!

That is true. But is it really a storage problem? Could you not store in whatever base-N arithmetic that has high encoding density, and "just" use the words for display/printing and such?
Probably it is more a problem of restricting the range of representable numbers because users are unable to handle pages over pages of random words...

> If you want real ridership, public transit in both LA and LV needs to be functional

Perfect is the enemy of the good. Even if everyone who takes the train drives from Los Angeles to Rancho Cucamonga (or takes an Uber), they're still offsetting less-efficient transportation modes.
It's approximately a 4 hour drive by car. The train might be able to do it in 2 hours, but of course there's the overhead you mention.

The drive costs around $40 in gas one-way. If this train is indeed $80 per ticket one-way, then I fail to see how it will be competitive with driving. A group of 5 going to Vegas would pay 10X the cost of driving and lose a lot of flexibility.
Yes, I don't know how people don't realize how much cheap tricks works in Chatbot Arena. A single base model produces 100s of ELO difference depending on the way it is tuned. And on most cases, instruction tuning heavily slightly even decreases reasoning ability on standard benchmark. You can see base model scores better in MMLU/ARC most of the times in huggingface leaderboard.

Even GPT-4-1106 seems to only sounds better than GPT-4-0613 and works for wider range of prompt. But in a well defined prompt and follow up questions I don't think there is an improvement in reasoning.

Like so many other commenters here, buy them Apple. Macbook Airs to replace their PCs and iPhones to replace their phones.

There is a huge market (IMO) for elderly/"boomer" support for all kinds of technologies. One thing that made me think about it was seeing an ad for a simple phone designed for seniors that includes "unlimited support" - actually I think it was this: https://www.lively.com/phones/jitterbug-smart4/

Made me think of how many older people are out there who do not have a child or family member type "tech support" person who helps them out. There's millions of them out there. I think there's a large market for that.
Nu, colleague, it's impossible to discuss semantics if you can't even keep a repo up for 1/3 day.

But they'd gain back the time they would have spent driving. Pretty much everyone I know in Los Angeles flies to Las Vegas, though it's an admittedly biased sample.

Penguin is that publisher for me. Pretty much everything I've read from them is rock solid.
Books are functionally a type of merch (low end) or art object (high end) at this point. The companies that sell the most understand this, whereas those that adhere to the old model of focusing on the words/information inside are struggling.

For example: celebrity books like David Goggins’ sell extremely well at a lower price point. At the other end, Taschen, who makes expensive art books and partners with celebrities often, also does well.
I just want to say - thank you! I've been using ZSH since it became the default on macOS and one thing that started annoying me recently is the slow startup time. Your snippet tangibly improved that.
