Please remember that car and bus traffic are also already highly subsidized.

Only a small fraction of those roads are toll roads, gas taxes are nowhere near enough to pay for maintenance, the US spends of lot of money keeping the oil supply flowing, the focus on direct subsidies ignore the indirect costs of pollution, or the impact of forcing people out of their houses through eminent domain - roads require more land than rails for the same carrying capacity.

I didn't see any luxury coach service offering a private bed, only lie-flat seats. No showers or family suite either. They seem to compare themselves to first-class airline seats than a train cabin. (To be fair, most people on the Southwest Chief are not in a cabin but in a seat.)

The Southwest Chief carries about an order of magnitude more people than a luxury bus. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Chief ) mentions a 2022 incident with 12 crew and 275 passengers. That's almost 23 passengers per crew member.

Looking at a few sites, a luxury bus has a driver and an attendant for ~25 passengers, so twice the staff, and with 10 bus engines to maintain instead of one locomotive engine.
Those are very strong words...
Every time I let AI into my life no matter if it's in Visual Studio, on GitHub or in the Shell, I'm actively sharing my data, my code and hence my ideas with a 3rd party, believing it won't be logged anywhere and used for other stuff.

How stupid can one be?
"Best language wins" is not how programming language popularity at the top works. Java, C/C++, JavaScript all have/had various other reasons for their wide use. And of course there's huge inertia, even if a language has the requisite of other forces behind it for "taking over the world" it still takes decades.

But no need to put too much weight on this, lots of languages have more than enough users to be viable for a long time. The top stack overflow languages tend to have poor S/N in the user communities.
> Don’t cite a sloppily-produced research paper

I'm not, I'm citing their own comment in which they describe taking down 20,000+ illegal streams of their already DRM-"protected" content on launch day. He's describing it not being effective at all.

Glass windows, speed limit signs, the tax system (what?) provide value to the people affected by them. DRM is a pure negative for customers.
Can you expand on this? Because the overwhelming number of use cases show that "driving to town" would be < 100 miles.

And if you plugged in your car while you ran whatever errands you needed to (or could get 100 miles of range at a L3 charger in < 10 mins, which is even possible today), what exactly is a use case where this wouldn't suffice?

For the record, I'm actually in favor of keeping cars and I consider proposals about people ditching their cars to be absolutely impractical, and will land on deaf ears.

That said, like any other normal human being, I would like to reduce pollution _everywhere_.

So I'd like to understand if people will still make those arguments once the "cars are bad for the environment" impact is greatly lessened from EVs.
So the US sells some bonds, then slips a couple trillion into a brown envelope to buy Baja California from Mexico, then “lease-to-own” it on very favorable terms (0 down, 0% APR, 150 years) to New Taiwan, or Formosa II. Uproot TSMC and an entire culture and move them over, then let China wave the flag over the mound of dirt left behind. Pencil them in to NAFTA and watch the chips flow over to the new iPhone plant outside Mexicali. Tijuana to Ensenada remains Mexico and is a buffer between them and the USA, and the night markets there are the envy of all food-eating people on the planet—-I can’t wait to try the albondigas soup dumplings.
Closures and stuff are great, but for the sake of being ornery:

{
alert("get the " + i1);
f(i1);
f(i2);
}

Cook( "lobster", "water", PutInPot );
Cook( "chicken", "coconut", BoomBoom );

(or worse)

Cook("lobster",
"water",
function(x) { alert("pot " + x); }

Cook("chicken",
"coconut",
function(x) { alert("boom " + x); }
);

This to me looks like a great example of The Wrong Abstraction. You're removing a tiny bit of code duplication at the cost of creating a weird, hard-to-read, inflexible, limited-use helper; he's taken something straightforward and turned it into, honestly, a bit of a hash.
Read the comments. Did you think this article generated fruitful discussion?

> These leaked deals definitely qualify as both hidden and likely to be material to most use cases whereas more random human biases or biases inherent in accessible data may not.

a) Yes, leaked information definitely qualifies as hidden, that is, prior to the most likely illegal leak (which we apparently do not find objectionable, because, hey, it's the good type of breach of contract?)

b) Anyone who strikes deals understands there is a situation where things are being discussed, that would probably not okay to be implemented in that way. Hence, the pre-sign discussion phase of the deal. Somewhat like one could have some weird ideas about a piece of code, that will not be implemented. Ah-HA!-ing everything that was at some point on the table is a bit silly.

> A problematic alternative to an alleged injustice just moves the problem, it’s not a true resolution.

The one characteristic I found that sets the people that are good to work with apart is understanding the need for a better solution, over those who (correctly but inconsequentially) declare everything to be problematic and think that to be some kind of interesting insight. It's not. Everything is really bad.

Offer something slightly less bad, and we are on our way.

> Hostile compliance is unfortunately a reality so this ought to give little comfort.

Yes, people will break the law. They are found out, eventually, or the law is found out to be bad and will be improved. No, not in 100% of the cases. But doubting this general concept that our societies rely upon whenever it serves an argument is so very lame.
Not really no, I've been in that situation and we were all aware that we were committing piracy in the company's name.
Thank you.

> It's surprising because intuitively you'd think those things would be devalued.

I guess this is where my intuition totally fails. In an economy that grows more productive, commodities _fall_ in value, as they cost less to produce. A society with more yards of linen is a wealthier one than one with fewer, all things being equal. That intuitively makes sense. But that non-commodities, say, two hours listening to music, would need to fall because they aren't part of that productivity increase in other industries makes no sense to me. You pay performers for two hours of _your_ enjoyment, not theirs. So obviously you would value it more if you're richer (say, as a highly productive linen producer). I mean, simple supply-demand should still explain it. Demand is elevated (more disposable income of linen producers), and supply remains constrained (only so many performers). Where is that paradox?

I don't know. Some things I never grok, and beaumol is really one of these things.
It would be cool if you took issue with any of my primary and secondary sources rather than throw a Sunny in Philadelphia meme.

Which of those do you take issue with as germane and credible?
> Anyway I'd rather ...

That's fair, it's a different risk profile, and one that you're happy with. Nothing wrong with that. :)
Sure, but solar is not great for digging underground. So now you need a solar station and wires connected to it, and that already complicates things significantly and massively increases the chance of failure.
OK, I tried it out. First thing I did was type a website into the big bar at the top and got an upsell modal for an AI thing... I get the need to make money but this was not a good first experience for me
Was the narrative something like, "you're on a mountaintop. You look around and see..." Or was it more abstract than that?
how much you paid to generate those embeddings?
It makes me sad, but I totally understand why someone would stay with Java 6, for the same reason that there's still COBOL stuff hanging around: the stuff "works" as is, upgrading is expensive, and some business person decided that the cost of the upgrade isn't worth it for the value they'd receive.

I do worry that there's "Y2K-esque" bugs hiding in Java 6 programs somewhere. I don't think java.util.date uses 32 bit integers for time so the 2038 problem probably won't be an issue, but I do wonder if there's other stuff hiding.
"Peculiar cultural memes" is an odd way of describing a piece of advice that one encounters so frequently in cultures the world over.
Maybe gp was referring to the coders who work at said companies. I don't even think the individual dashers are employees.
I mean, OS wise the security patches are really not something that matters for average people. For any of the exploits being patched to work, you would have to have an extremely targeted effort towards an individual.

The app updates works fine.

The pedestrian danger is a valid one and will be for a while (until more self driving cars come out, probably?)

But in what way do they make for less pleasant cities? Wouldn't moving to electric vehicles all but get rid of noise pollution from cars?
Most of the YC/adjacent hearsay is inadmissible even here. What’s public is ugly enough.

A sibling has linked to the credible journalism I was alluding to.
ChatGPT is just the brand. I guess you're using GPT-4, but if you're using the default model (GPT-3.5) that would certainly explain below-expectation results.
The sending pattern matters. Send/Receive/Send/Receive won't trigger the problem, because the request will go out immediately and the reply will provide an ACK and allow another request. Bulk transfers won't cause the problem, because if you fill the outgoing block size, there's no delay.

But Send/Send/Receive will. This comes up a lot in game systems, where most of the traffic is small events going one way.
The ISO committee is becoming increasingly less relevant. It's ineffectiveness has pushed numerous groups to create a successor to C++.

It's no doubt a lot of work but if any of the successors to C++ such as Carbon, Circle, or cpp2 manage to release a solid compiler that is mostly compatible with C++17, I think you'll see a large migration towards it.
I don't agree with this point of view, but people with hearing shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. Deaf people raise it every time medicine makes an advance in restoring hearing.

If the capitalism mindset applied to the web has taught me anything is that if they can get more money they will.

They’ll charge you money for the service and ALSO get money from advertisers. Because why shouldn’t they.

The famous “if you don’t pay you’re the product” is losing its meaning.
You can start by defining the scope and the tools you want to use.

Both coding or nocode tools can help. The simplest option would be to take one of those "privacy-friendly" options out there for a spin on a free tier and as you work you'll see what limitations you encounter or features you'd want.

And then you can customize it further using coding tools.
You're the one who claimed the market will solve this problem, the onus is on you to provide evidence for your position. Additionally there are plenty of cases out there of objectively terrible CEOs (Elizabeth Holmes comes to mind) that don't get booted out - it usually takes regulators or even the justice department to deal with it in those cases. Which is exactly what's being proposed.
The scenario you described is just suicide. An AI that is acting on behalf of a controller and has no ability to make autonomous decisions is just a tool. To me that's no different conceptually than a race destroying itself with nuclear weapons, but simply replacing nukes with some sort of drone or automated weapon. It wouldn't be AGI.

While speed is a factor as well, you still need a lot more energy consumption to move a mass of rock&dust some distance away than to move a small rover. This immediately follows from the formula for work and the gravitational force.
Not compared to the training costs it doesn't and it's competition is fierce especially with llama open-sourcing.

i think sometimes it's called symlog, though i'm not sure if that's just a convenient re-naming of arcsinh. i don't see how any kind of "log" scale can do <= 0.

you can always y-flip the result of log(abs(value)) and show neg ticks on the axis, but it will not be a nicely-continuous, single scale that can cross 0.

I have profound hearing loss (sensorineural) in both ears, and I've been following gene therapy in all of its fits and starts for almost two decades. I was lucky enough to have _not horrible_ hearing at my youngest, and then lost it progressively up until I rely entirely on lip reading for conversation.

I was eligible for cochlear implants probably more than 15 years ago, but I was getting by, and I heard that getting implants would almost certainly preclude any future therapy like this. I'm ecstatic to finally hear an actual "it worked, in a human" outcome, and can't wait for something that works for my hearing to reach maturity.
Learning Performance-Improving Code Edits
It is a reduction in per-kwh rates coupled to the introduction of a universal flat fee. You can see in the graph in the article, for PGE and SoCal Edison it shifts the burden from users of more than 515kwh to users of less electricity and for SDGE customers the burden shifts from users of more than 313kwh to users of less. Of course there is also an income-based distortion to soften this for poor people.

This seems kinda nuts, why would we incentivize electricity consumption? I guess there is some infra cost to connect customers to the grid but how can that be worth 8--18% of the cost of the kwh?

You’re assuming it would not have been 100,000 without the DRM. You cannot prove, or cite any research, showing it would not have been much worse. In which case, it could indeed be quite effective.
Wow totally disagree, I loved the magnets during the pre-crawling / houseplant phase. So convenient for changes.
I fully agree. The stock market is just a giant machine that pulls money out of systems.
Yeah the override is set in Android settings and it works fine for other apps like my house alarm and security camera system.

Enabling DND makes LibreLink instantly flash up a warning saying "Alarms aren't available."
I think my point was unclear ...

What I am saying is, there is no reason for other firms to perform KYC because it is totally redundant. The banks already have to do it and they have a better view of the transaction flow anyway.

Any KYC that your ISP might do would be both redundant and inferior to what your bank is already doing.

It is a waste of resources - and a drag on smaller businesses - to do this work twice.

Electron isn't meant for building a browser and has perf / other limitations. We went with a full Chromium backing with some patches to allow us to write our UI in web tech.

The point is that in both cases the underlying feature is present, so APIs will be compatible. However, the lack of syntactic sugar in the one case will make any API that uses the feature cumbersome to use in that language, so in practice it will be avoided.
True but it's not ±20%, it's "90% confidence interval of the mean is within +25%/-40%" which puts the dose much closer to 100% in practice.

https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/debunking-a-common-pharma...

Still, these measured %ages should be much more explicit in the actual delivered drugs and in the range of values that are determined safe. There are plenty og drugs where double dose is fine and the therapeutic dose is "let's experiment on every patient evey day to see what works".
No i mean like 1 out of 100 linux installs across different laptop models will require a tweak or so, and thats usually for like ACPI specific stuff for like function buttons. The core OS features work flawlessly for work.

Furthermore, Win 11 gets a very bad wrap unfairly these days. At home on my desktop, I use Win 11 Pro with WSL2 and it works amazingly well for anything, including ML training. Just run this https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat.
I love seeing this. This is where the pudding is made. Invention, development, training and inference is all very expensive. Past generation AI assistants (Alexa, GHome) failed to find a way to monetize, and the balance between utility and privacy was simply not there, which meant that they didn't make for a decent long term business, so they all had to downsize like crazy. Right now only Infrastructure folks have a sustainable business here, and the fact that OpenAI is pitching to publishers this early (still beginning of the 'S curve') means that they are serious about making this a sustainable long term business. As 'early adopters' move into something new (look ma, a new toy!), it will be fascinating to see how OpenAI (and others?) keep a balance between paid customers, top of funnel (free + ads?) and opex.
sounds like a 1 person unicorn company.
>all its ideas were absorbed into Stockfish

That's not true at all, Stockfish still uses only human heuristics for search and NNUE for eval, a completely different architecture than alphazero and derived from the Yu Nasu Shogi engine.
Ellipsis increases the quality of code a developer brings to their teammates, meaning fewer PR comments, meaning the team ships faster. It's not a replacement for human review. It's most often used by the PR author after a self review but before asking for reviews from human teammates.

Ellipsis will use your existing lint/test commands when making code changes. For example, you can leave a comment on a PR that says "@ellipsis-dev fix the assertion in the failing unit test" and Ellipsis will run the tests, observe the failure, make the code change, confirm the tests pass, lint-fix the code, and push a commit or new PR
I started learning to knit last fall and I have been really enjoying it.

If you're a software engineer, I think it scratches a lot of itches:

1. Knitting patterns are sort of like a tiny little programming language, with loops (as in iteration, not as in, uh, loops of yarn) and choice.

2. Knitting charts are a lot like pixel art.

3. There is a very fine-grained skill progression where you can ease your way in by starting with simple patterns that only use a few techniques. But there is always a next level of skill and challenge. The lore is incredibly deep and there is a ton to learn. You'll never run out of ways to improve your expertise. At the same time, even as a beginner, you can make objects that are useful and beautiful.

4. If you're tired of staring at a screen and crave something tactile, it is an excellent counter-point. It's extremely tactile, hands-on, and texture-oriented. It just feels good to knit or play with yarn and textiles. There are so many rich colors and color combinations at a level of vibrance that a screen never attains.

5. If you're mentally tired at the end of the day but still want to feel like you're making progress on something meaningful instead of just scrolling on your phone, you can always pick up a project and knit a few more rows without needing a lot of brainpower. At the same time, you can also choose projects with enough complexity that it doesn't feel totally mindless like a coloring book or something.

6. Unlike software where much of our output is intangible and meaningless to the world, everyone can see and appreciate knitted objects. The things you make are instantly beloved and appreciated.

7. If you are introverted and prone to anxiety, knitting is a very nice therepeutic escape.

I highly recommend it.
Yup, my expenditure has dropped around 700 kcal during my last cut. I am also down 24 lbs scale weight. But I needed to drop kcal from 2300 to 1800 over the 4 month period.

I actually bump my expenditure up around 200 kcal by adding a 3 mile walk each day just so I could eat more, but it's dropped back down even with the walking.
Sorry! This is a bad ranking of our search bar and "Ask Muddy" should not always be the first suggestion. Fixing this in our next update.

If you hit any of the other results, it will open the site for you

Compared to Arc -- Muddy is focused on making getting things done together better rather than infinite customization. It's a different set of tradeoffs but with a similar rethinking of the browsing experience.
