Hm very strange the title did have to do with Flock Safety when it was first posted and now is referencing Claude not sure of user error or something to do with hacker news. I’ll put a tin foil hat on for just a second, Flock Safety is a graduate of Y Combinator so maybe the misnaming is not as innocent as it may seem?

My 2 cents: I live in the Atlanta metro and it’s crazy just how much Flock has permeated communities. From main streets to small neighborhoods flock safety cameras are in use everywhere, it is off putting. I’m not sure if HOAs are the ones OKing them or if it’s the city but having a private corporation able to run cameras that read plates and can potentially surveil home consistently seems like undue erosion of privacy
I think it would still involve less driving. You don't get groceries every day if you drive to get them. You buy a few days or a week's worth of supplies at a time.

School may be hard to avoid driving if there's no bus or good walking/biking routes, but maybe you can carpool with neighbors who have kids in the same school.

But I think fundamentally a lot of people are just not accustomed to sitting at home. They feel cooped up, and bored. That's not me -- I'd rarely leave the house if I could get away with it. But I know a lot of people feel that way, if they didn't have to go to work they'd go drive somewhere just to be somewhere different for a while.
lol. Hurray for speech to text, I guess.
One thing to keep in mind is when is the breaking point? If one person drives 100mph, should every single driver match that speed? What about 90? 80? What is the cutoff?

There is a reason there are speed limits. They are the cutoff.
I'm frustrated with Gemini Advanced because of this. It's very good at interacting with calendar and stuff like a digital assistant IF you use text to talk to it. The speech to text is awful (and borderline dangerous).
What evidence? Do we no longer figure ~4by bp?
Space junk is actually much _less_ of a concern in LEO because it's low enough that stuff de-orbits on it's own relatively quickly, so you don't get the long term accumulation that you can get in higher orbits

All the post you responded to said was that the network graph shows and very active fork of the project.

If your response simply stated that “this fork uses an lbgtq+ theme by default and might take some work to change that”, then your response would be more reasonable. As it is your response looks to me more like a rant that you have been wanting to vent and have found an opportunity.

Any CTO who is aware of the impact that having an incoherent programming style can have on employee productivity, is likely going to arrive at the conclusion that the most efficient way to set such policy is to "outsource" it to the programming language, by requiring projects to use an opinionated language.

Then again, any such CTO is likely also going to be someone who tends to think about things like "the ability to hire developers already familiar with the language to reduce ramp-up time" — and will thus end up picking a common and low-expressivity opinionated language. Which usually just means Java. (Although Golang is gaining more popularity here as well, as more coding schools train people in it.)

Honestly, it's probably _also_ a capital markets issue.

All of the stock markets in the EU/Europe are really small compared to the US, and there's a steady stream of companies moving their listings there.

Fixing that (with the Capital Markets Union) would presumably help, even if everything else remains the same.

All of them. You can do imperative, functional, and oop programming in lisp. As for small libraries, it’s because cruft is an actual hindance in lisp. It’s like unix tools, you can do a lot of stuff with them, but a more integrated tool that do one thing better will fare worse in others. A big library brings a rigid way of thinking to lisp flexible model. Dependency management? Think of it like the browser runtime, where you can bring the inspector up and do stuff to the pages. It’s a different devloment models where you patch a live system. And with the smaller dependency model, you may as well vendor the libraries if you want reproductibility. Unorthodox OOP? CLOS is the best oop model out there.

The thing is that Common Lisp has most of what current programming languages are trying to implement. But it does require learning proper programming and being a good engineer.
> I've said for a while that a language that focused on this sort of "developer experience" but used a GC to be a bit more flexible would probably be enough for a large portion of Rust developers

Kurd Lasswitz wrote "Two Planets" in 1897, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39598983

> Lasswitz's Martians differ little from man physically, but ethically, intellectually, scientifically, and socially they are the prototype of the ideal human being. They seek to educate man, asking in return only air and energy to supplement the diminished supplies in their own, older world.

The story revolves around a group of German scientists who, when seeking the North Pole, come upon a Martian settlement there..

A young German reader of "Two Planets", Wernher von Braun, would develop ballistic missiles for Germany/USA, rockets that launched the first US space satellite and the NASA launch vehicle that took Apollo to the Moon.

The group included Erdos and von Neumann.

Oh I'm sorry how could I forget about your wants and needs as a consumer?

While you were spending your time being "advertised to, encouraged, and expending time and resources adopting their project" they did, you know, actual work to create and maintain said project.

Let's not kid ourselves here. You chose to use their project. You are free to use any other one that fulfills your needs, fork an existing one, or, hell, create one yourself. Nobody is putting a gun up to your head and saying "you must use this project or else". Strictly as a consumer, you have absolutely zero pull on what a project or its maintainers do, and you shouldn't delude yourself in thinking otherwise just because you expended a modicum of effort to use a project.

In short, get over yourself. Your time commitment is many magnitudes smaller than theirs.

Locally-run LLMs are very cool, but I think we have some way to go for smartphone performance to make datacenter-run (or beefy personal workstation for privacy!) ones obsolete.

Until then, I also really like the idea of making chatbots accessible via instant messengers. I find myself using the one in WhatsApp quite a lot these days, just because it's conveniently available on multiple platforms (with my history synchronized) and I can tag it in when chatting with friends. It also works on flights with zero-rated messaging.

Then the obvious answer is to price those externalities into the cost of the synthetic rubber tires.

Of course then you'll have a lot of lower-income folks driving around on dangerously worn-out tires because they can't afford new ones.

By the way I thought it was the synthetic rubber tires that lasted longer, but certainly possible that I'm mistaken.

> we're talking here about the equivalent of Twitter/FB/etc saying "this is the image and preview text at this link"

Even here, you can't trust this.

You can vaguely trust that the centralised provider won't modify the link preview, they don't appear have been caught doing that despite the fact they totally could... and possibly do, possibly only to specific people, possibly under duress from governments where they operate their servers.

However, it's been shown several times that Facebook won't let you post certain links, including links that are merely uncovering Meta's wrongdoing. So centralised providers still have the power to distort what users see, they just do it more directly and openly than misrepresenting link previews.

What Mastodon users want is to pretend they can have that same level of trust as they could with a centralised provider - which they know they can't, but being honest about that hurts adoption, so they go along with a lie, and instead make their link targets pay all the costs, to make themselves look better.

That's not right, and if their purpose is to make the internet a better place, they should be willing to compromise, be willing to prioritise being a good neighbour to other web services (e.g. add a disclaimer like "poster supplied this link preview image"), over having millions of link preview services DDoS a target so they can say "we have per-server trust in link previews".

This is a thing I put a lot of thought into.

Years ago, I wrote a short book of the advice I would have given to my young self, and gave a copy to each of my children when they were young. It contains about a dozen points.

It's hard to select which of those would be my top pick, but I suppose it would be what I called "the big secret": you can't always decide what is going to happen to you, but you can always decide how you're going to respond to it.

A rural friend of mine just had CenturyLink buy his local broadband provider and end his service after 15 years. The infrastructure is in place and working, but the lines will go dead this month. The CS reps he spoke with were all obviously coached on the language to use when talking with him. I've given my friend FCC and state rep contact info, but as of right now his only option is starlink.

> Earth was inhospitable until 3.8Gya

There is much uncertainty about this. The early Earth was a volatile place with a lot of raw materials and energy available, and a lot of chemistry happening. I wouldn't rule out that some part of Earth may have had the right conditions for life right from the beginning. Certainly if we expect life to be able to survive a ride on a piece of ejecta from Mars, it's plausible to imagine it surviving in some boundary niche amidst the heat and fury of the Hadean Earth.
At some point one has to consider costs, scale and political expediency.

WFH and H-WFH would be broadly popular among the electorate and could probably take off with just some changes to the tax code.

Presuming everyone does want to live in a dense area (I do not), building housing and infrastructure is expensive and at the end of the day it has to be profitable to build. We don't really have the framework to zone municipalities at the Federal level. So now you are talking about leaving it to the individual states... and I think you can see where that goes.

Given all that, yes, fewer miles driven in aggregate is a good and easy win for the environment. Less gasoline consumed, fewer tires and brake pads consumed, less work clothes bought, less meals purchased at lunch, etc.
Wouldn't this imply that they have access to a RNG?
> No, it does not.

Yeah huh.

> Why do you think medical is similar to legal

As stated, because both involve sensitive and personal information about people - unlike say, Stable Diffusion which is using AI for creative image creation etc.

> why do lawyers and doctors get it wrong all the time

Because they're human. "Medical error" has been in the top 5 causes of death in the United States for several years. Our legal system is also far from perfect and could use the help - consider systemic biases and wrongly convicted people who spent their lives behind bars unfairly due to human error or bias, omissions of information, etc.
Tolling roads to fund public transportation is actually a really good way of funding public transport.
The issue with repair costs I understand, but having to sell due to depreciation seems backwards. Selling cars because they're not worth as much to sell seems to run contrary to Hertz's primary business, which is renting those cars out to people to drive. You can't make money renting out cars if you sell those cars first.
I was stuck with Viasat for two years. Not only is the latency horribly like you describe, but they were _consistently_ at least one OOM away from the speeds I was paying for. I'm pretty sure that, in those 2 years, I _never_ saw the advertised speed.
It's not about if it can be done or not. Waymo is very impressive, and they continue to expand their scope. Good on them. But their sensor suite is very expensive.

BlueCruise is not self-driving. Neither is Tesla's Full Self Driving; despite the name, read their letter to the CA DMV.

Both of those systems will absolutely ignore stationary vehicles in the path of travel when travelling at highway speeds.
Maybe Earth? Who knows? Lots of good sci-fi has been written about it. I recommend J.P. Hogan’s “Inherit the Stars”, which starts with evidence of human spaceflight predating known history and goes on interesting directions.

There are very well studied escalation scenarios where high altitude strikes, acting basically as EMPs, with good meteorological information taken into account to manage fallout, can mean nukes can come into play and be effective as defense.

Way back in the early 2000s before DVD burners were cheap my buddy downloaded what appeared to be a handicam rip of the Fellowship Of The Ring off limewire (or kazaa or whatever was popular at the time) and burned it on 7-8 or 8 CD-Rs which we could watch on his DVD player in the living room. The quality was poor but watchable, but I think this had more to do with the clandestine source than the medium. He had above average computer literacy but probably just used a common program in a way I've never used before to do this. DVD burners became cheaper later and I never saw or thought much about this stunt again.
Sorry, that was a joke.

The Snark is described in detail, with but a single additional caution that some Snarks are Boojums, with no description whatsoever of the difference. And, in the end, only a Boojum is found.

Probably yes. You could also garnish the prompt with a vanilla RNG output.
Nope, because all of that is taken care of by the mechanisms for evaluating the model. Strictly speaking, the model outputs a probability distribution. The question is why that distribution doesn’t match the instructions.
> LEO is cheaper per terminal

Are you sure about that? High-throughput LEO inevitably requires steering (whether electronic or mechanical), while high-throughput GEO is possible using a one-time adjusted dish, at least to station-kept satellites (which all HTS these days are, as far as I know).

For mobile applications, steering is obviously required for both, so there GEO has less of an advantage.

The Starlink dish is quite expensive, and I'm not sure if it's really sold at cost or whether there's some subsidy baked in (since it's only usable with their service anyway).
