Shameless (in-progress) plug: https://yamtam.nyc

I find the NYC public transit system to be one of the most interesting in the world. Beyond the subways and LIRR and Metro North (which are covered by the MTA's app), there are literally dozens of other transit providers: Nassau bus, red bus, Suffolk bus, NJT, PATH, HBLR, Roosevelt Island Tram, and a shocking number of smaller targeted transit providers, as well as specialized transit modes like Citibike. No app, except maybe Citymapper, comes close to representing it all.

But Citymapper was acquired, by Via. A company who makes money when you don't choose public/mass transit. So that doesn't make me feel too good. Also, Citymapper doesn't work well offline.

Another important thing is that accessibility and alerts are regarded as very 2nd rate citizens on other apps, and for various reasons, I think these should be easier to see.

Enter my little tool. It has a long way to go, it doesn't do navigation very well (it's my own implementation of a weak algorithm), and doesn't work across modalities. But it does tell you the upcoming trains at stations (using the real time data), along with all the accessibility info, and alerts for the station and line. And links to complex maps, neighborhood maps, and more. And it can map schedules for the entire network 30 minutes into the future (2 hours for LIRR and Metro North), meaning you can go into airplane mode and it will keep working. Additionally, I have found it updates faster than other apps, as it is continually polling the MTA APIs.

> He opposes plans for better cheaper muni internet because “The county government can only do better because they get to cheat - they don’t need to make a profit, but spectrum does.”

Tell him he needs to be willing to support for the muni internet in order to get Spectrum to offer symmetric fiber in the first place.

Same way he needed to be able to convincingly threaten to cut the cord to DirectTV the umpteen times he's forced them to offer him a discount, or to let XM radio subscription expire in order to get them to drop from $25/mo to $5/mo to get him back.

Dollars to donuts he's had the experience of paying out the ass for those services. Perhaps you're lucky and he's never renegotiated either of those. In that case tell him how to get those cheaper rates, and let him feel what it's like to instantly save an order of magnitude dollars monthly.

Then you'll get a better sense of how deep those beliefs go.
Its meteoric rise started well before the chip embargo. I've looked into it, it liberally borrows ideas from other frameworks, both PyTorch and Jax, and adds some of its own. You lose some of the conceptual purity, but it makes up for it in practical usability, assuming it works as it says on the tin, which it may or may not. PyTorch also has support for Ascend as far as I can tell https://github.com/Ascend/pytorch, so that support does not necessarily explain MindSpore's relative success. Why MindSpore is rising so rapidly is not entirely clear to me. Could be something as simple as preferring a domestic alternative that is adequate to the task and has better documentation in Chinese. Could be cost of compute. Could be both. Nowadays, however, I do agree that the various embargoes would help it (as well as Huawei) a great deal. As a side note I wish Huawei could export its silicon to the West. I bet that'd result in dramatically cheaper compute.

Just separate all electronics to low-current vs high-current.

Most digital home equipment are low-current.

Electric stoves, ovens, and other simple electric heaters, air conditioners are high-current.
EV charger, electric cycle are also considered high-current.

Also in some houses, like Elon Musk house, could be servo-doors, like doors from Star Trek - also considered high-current.

You could use Solar panels with tracker - it also considered high-current.

So, all low current devices best to power from something about 48V, which is safe for people and easy to achieve for electronics, but is high enough to limit currents in power wires. All high-current devices should be powered by 220V or higher, because even on 220V at 1kW power will be significant losses.

The sibling comment about lift is one of the few things I can think of. Birds would have a tough time. The freezing point of water would also be lowered significantly.

Eliminating a gas while keeping all other partial pressures constant only affects physical processes. Biochemistry on the other hand only relies on partial pressures, and the number of organisms which interact with atmospheric nitrogen are literally so few that you could count them on one hand.

This is all pretty far afield though. There's no way biological processes are even going to have a dent in the ocean of N2 surrounding us.

That'd be great if it could absorb the surplus, but right now at 12GW production it is curtailed at 0.29 GW. This means neither pumped storage, nor batteries, nor exports can deal with it.

On one hand it might create a new market, hopefully H2 electrolysis that replaces coal or gas in industrial processes rather than Bitcoin farms. On the other it also signals that any additional Solar is going to evict about as much capacity into such curtailments.

Anyway, California is the record-breaking market and all eyes are on it to helps us guide the global energy future.
Pixlr is great
True, but voice recognition errors typically involve an oddly-out of place word or two which you can usually spot and mentally correct. That's less likely to make you take the wrong series of steps than a completely coherent and topic-relevant "hallucinated" sentence that just happens to not be part of the guide at all.

Edit: although in this instance the LLM pretty heavily editorialises the transcript anyway...
What does it mean to go after them? You can't exactly fine somebody who doesn't have any money or an address. And our jails are crowded enough without throwing hundreds or thousands more people in there. I read somewhere that it costs around $50k/year to keep somebody imprisoned in the US. Jailing the homeless would get very expensive, very fast.
I seem to recall that the central takeaway from the essay tyranny of structurelessness is that when one affects to dispose of an official, formal and acknowledged power hierarchy, it simply reappears as an unofficial, informal, actively disavowed, and even more paranoid version of its former self.

Why I don't use social media
Hi, sometime middle-manager here. The goal isn't to have me make decisions, its to let people around me make decisions quickly and well enough that most of the time it works out, and when it doesn't, we can roll back easily.

If this isn't working out, I hire experts to improve the quality of decision-making, with me making decisions as a last resort.
The full file is some 700K without gzip compression

> all the data present in the complete version except for country borders and shorelines. This reduces [the size] by 200k

So about 29% is border/shore data, 71% is city names and locations

Imo a lot of cities could be dropped, especially when they're on top of each other (not visible until you've zoomed in so far to see a grey landmass and that city name) to make the shorelines more accurate

I'm also not sure how often a general location on a world map is needed. Wouldn't one more often want a low-KB map of the surrounding highways and transit lines one can use to reach the POI whose website you're currently looking at, for example? A version for every few km² on the planet could be built and you could have quite a lot of useful detail at a tenth of the size. Global low poly also has its purposes, like tracking the space station I guess, but it seems much rarer

> Don't we have OSes with fine grained permissions

No, we really don’t. We have OS’s with the tools to give us fine grained permissions, but at the end of the day on a desktop OS, any program you run can do any damn thing to any other damn thing owned by the same user. Look to phones for security boundaries that make sense in a post-1970s world, but not any shipping desktop OS.
> Those who know do not speak

I'm sorry you say that frequently, because I disagree. I have from time to time come across "experts" who would offer only vague explanations of what they were doing, or would shield their keyboard from your gaze. I have always learned subsequently that their knowledge was rather limited, which is why they didn't want to share it.

In my experience, the people who know the most have enough knowledge (and confidence) to share it freely.

I like the update! I’d opened the app a few weeks ago and noticed a huge change.

I’ve been using it for trip planning and in some ways like it better than Google since it incorporates service alerts. On the flip side, sometimes the routes are a little bit non intuitive (like, you could do x, but I probably wouldn’t make 3 transfers.) I’ll try to see if I can find examples.
>yes, a growing economy requires higher-skilled work, but that's good because that work comes with higher pay.

The problem, of course, is that wages stagnated from '99 to 2014 and the job participation rate has been decreasing since 2000 while cost of living and general production increased; so no, in a dynamic market work does not necessarily come with higher pay. It actually wouldn't really make sense for all new work to come with higher pay; if you have changes in supply (which is what we are really talking about) that come with associated lower labor costs, the people that used to provide higher cost labor for the initial supply level will have to accept significantly reduced salaries in their industry.

That's what happened with the industrial revolution. Wages overall increased because people entered the workforce for the first time as skill requirements went down, but the average wage of previously employed people went way down as artisan and highly skilled labor was outcompeted by factory work.
Bite-size Early-stage Sales Lessons
> It's clear that technological development creates a shift in jobs, i.e some jobs are lost, but new ones are created as a result. Whether the total #jobs increases or decreases is debatable.

It’s not debatable; we have over 200 years of technological development to look back on and the trend is clear: the total number of jobs has increased at least as fast as human population growth over that time.

In addition, the nations driving the most technological growth domestically have experienced the greatest job growth over that time. With the result that many of them, like the U.S. and UK, have had to develop robust immigration programs.

Even within a single nation, like China, there is temporal correlation between technological development and job creation. As China has leaned into tech over the past few decades, job creation accelerated there.

> So by definition, the average intelligence requirement for jobs increases over time (though never stated directly). This means that as time and technology progress, a growing percentage of people will have no jobs that they are capable of doing.

Again, the evidence shows the opposite correlation: technological development results in more people working, not less.
It does, I did the math when I was offered a 100k+ position in the US.

Yeah, the issue with social power is that it can't really be created or destroyed, just reorganized.

Similar to how if governments get too weak, you end up with warlords/gangs just taking their place, power abhors a vacuum and all that.
You’re really missing the point, but as a bonus, that’s why the iPhone launched with a dedicated YouTube app; Google didn’t want to give up all that potential revenue.

We know letting a dominant player abuse their position to corner the market has long-term downsides to user choice. Windows, IE, and now Chrome.
Outside of maybe the UK, I don't think Europe is nearly as dead set on the adversarial relationship with China and you can't buy retail Chinese EVs right now in the US.

The demand reduction is also a problem for Tesla.

But one thing Chinese EV companies have is existing products in the lowest market segments. Tesla is giving up on a car cheaper than the 3 and I don't think that's a particularly unique Musk decision. American public companies are allergic to low margin products.

But exactly as the person you replied to said, they increased the average intelligence needed to do the new jobs. That leaves so many marginal people unemployable. They could have maintained horses but working in cars is harder. I like this observation.

Few people realise that the EU countries and the US are no longer in the same wealth category. There is a 50% difference in GDP per capita between Germany and the USA, for example.

It's not a matter of offering benefits in kind instead of money, but rather a fundamental difference in resources available.
I wouldn’t lump macOS and Windows together for that, as someone who uses Linux and macOS regularly.

macOS has defaults that can be for power users, but you can find them and change them. Windows is actively trying to subvert your will at every turn. Ads in the start menu/explorer, forced updates, forced logins in the OOBE… It’s abhorrent! And so many workarounds you find online are dead, because they’re actively subverting your will.
Yes, it's popular enough that you can find work pretty easily.

There's less openings than for JS, Java or C# but then there are less Ruby developers. That's the same as it ever was.
You can't. Only some things.
That's a gross mis categorization and wildly reductionist to boot. The issue is this: a cult of personality has developed around a loudmouth sociopath with a track record of making wildly arrogant statements (See: I know more about manufacturing than anyone else on the planet) that are not, and never have been, backed by observational data. When Tesla set out to make cars they intentionally adopted the move fast and break shit approach, tossing over a century of industry knowledge overboard in the process. Net result: grotesque body fitment issues that are reminiscent of automobiles built in the 1920s, constant dumb software issues, trivially avoidable production bottlenecks, and borderline malicious marketing around half-baked assisted driving features (this list is incomplete). Then there is the comprehensive travesty Tesla calls a cybertruck. This much stupidity wouldn't be tolerated from any other auto manufacturer.

They actually resulted in a decrease in overall skills required. It takes a lot of skill to use a loom and make a napkin, the same is not needed for factory work yet you can make 100 napkins at the same time.

Similarly, we had the rise of the service industry in the US - manufacturing required a lot of skilled labor; retail and wait-staff do not require the same skill.

I had this same interaction when applying for Staff+ software engineer (not manager) at two FAANGs.

One of the recruiters sniffed, or maybe negged, and said they expected X number people under you for that role.

Highly effective small teams was considered small-time, not a selling point. Also not-OK was leading engineering for an early startup. Nor was a cross-company Principal role interfacing with everyone.

(However, both companies were still open to me doing their new-grad Leetcode hazing battery or Python grunting automated screening test. Which isn't a sign that their culture is otherwise good, other than the team size fixation.)
I too am surprised at how people seem unable to find the readily accessible options to turn these features off.

I've gone the other way! I used to be strongly against managers. I drooled over that Valve manual describing the flat hierarchy, etc., and I would have honestly said that managers in general were a parasite that had latched on to the software industry. That's honestly what I felt.

Now I work at a place with not enough managers to go around, and my team basically has 25% of a PM's time, and no dedicated department head (last guy quit, leadership has not decided whether to rehire). It's absolute chaos. No shit shield between us and leadership, nobody to soak up all the excess meetings required to understand what's going on throughout the company, nobody with political weight to throw around on our behalf, nobody to persist a long term vision for our department. We're working twice as hard to tread water, and creating a lot of technical debt while we only barely stay on top of our basic responsibilities.

It may be that, at an organization that is set up not to have managers, it's better than just being the one group in an organization that doesn't have one. I admit that's a possibility.

But, at another organization, I've actually had great experiences with managers, who cleared the road for me and made me feel like I was doing better work more easily than I was without them. So, on the whole I am pro manager, so long as they are very very very good at it.
