The EPA Air Quality Index isn't everything, but it is a standard value displayed in a phone weather app. I'll notice in times and places when I suspect its bad. If you live outside a city in place without forest fires or other environmental issues you might not notice its there. Some people with respiratory issues monitor this stuff constantly.
My guess is that your web hosting provider sold you out.

DirectNIC did it to me.

You can test this by adding a file like inxed.htm (note the deliberate misspelling) in your web root folder without any links to it anywhere and seeing if you can hit it in their web server.
I agree with the urban planning bias here, especially the idea that you shouldn't build more roads to fight congestion because more people will use them, and thus they'll reach the same saturation point anyways. Mind boggling that this is an accepted principal, and one that is completely disregarded when it comes to any form of transport that isn't a car.
I suspect it means the message only exists client side, and they are able to detect that somehow. So if you browse away, or refresh, or whatever, it is gone.

> Does no one remember why expert systems fell apart?

Many of the current generation of AI experts mostly either did not pay great attention to the history of AI or they believe this time is completely different. They would do well to spend more time learning about history.

However, your view doesn't strike me as correct either. Expert system fell apart because the world was more complex than researchers realized and enumeration was essentially discovered to be infeasible (more or less as you say). But the impossibility of enumerating the world isn't news, everyone knows "the bitter lesson". And this isn't the past - now everyone on earth carries around a computer, a video camera and a microphone. They talk to each other through the internet. Remote workers screens' are recorded. Billions of vehicles with absurd numbers of sensors are roaming around the world. More of the arenas that matter to humanity are digital and thus effective domains for automated exploration and data generation.

The information about how the world operates exists or can be generated, the only real question is how to get your hands on it.
Apparently (according to AI enthusiasts) all publicly accessible data is free from copyright when used as training data. It doesn't really look like "owning" the data is worth very much money at all.
Yes, someone else here mentioned the four color theorem, and that gave me a few ideas to improve that.

For the demo, it actually opens up when you start the game. But it's possible to skip it, which is totally fair, I should have expected that. I'll make the button more obvious, you're absolutely right that it's too hidden at the moment.

> knight forks are probably more OP than a bunch of blinkstackers with infinite APM

There are too many words I don't understand here to infer your meaning. The knight forks I know are when a knight threatens the king and another piece, but it looks like you mean something else. It could be related to what I mentioned with multiple diagonals, although that does not affect knights. And OP is probably not original poster. And I don't know what bindstackers or APM are (maybe Actions Per Minute?).

But it does look like you know more about chess than I do, so I'd love to absorb that knowledge.
No, you can't disable the PRs tab; you can disable any tab except Code and PRs. Torvalds famously complained about this because he handles pull requests through email, so all PRs on his Linux repo are useless.
“People will know what I mean, so why bother being correct or specific” is a flimsy argument, to me, as to why a person shouldn’t care about using correct and precise language. Nor does it really challenge the need for correct and precise language in the first place.

Small children say things incorrectly and we still understand them. Should we all talk like that?
Also, you should consider migrations to be the first-class citizen and entities to be derived on it. On our system, we have

migration "create-users-table" {
create-table "users" {
column "id" "number" dbtype="increments"
}
}

migration "add-user-last-device" {
alter-table "users" {
column "last_device" "string"
}
}

This implicitly defines an "User" entity which has two fields, "id" and "lastDevice". But now we can also generate migrations (in our case, knex migrations). It’s harder and less reliable to go the other way, starting from current database schema + current description to migration.
When people are used to virtually everything waiting on multiple round-trips over cellular connections, there's no point in optimizing local performance. An extra hundred milliseconds of lag in the UI gets attributed to the slowness of the connection.

Plus web and mobile developers have put a ton of work into animations and things like that to make slowness feel natural, which lowers expectations even further. Nobody expects a device to respond quickly. You expect to have to wait a bit for round-trips or animations or both.

That's one of the most reasonable ways to look at it, among many voiced here.

I agree with it, it's the same reason I enjoy C# (and sometimes F#) - it gives the sense of control, gets out of the way when you want to get things done, and gives powerful tools when you want to push it to the limit.

The problem is - Go is not an underdog the way C# is if you look at GitHub statistics, and has reached the escape velocity that gets it picked for all the fun projects, even when they would have been better served by C# which either offers a purpose-built capability or good tools to implement such. And when Go fails that, it will be made work despite its shortcomings, similar to Python and ML.

It's very painful to move languages when such move involves the sense of settling for less. I tried a lot and very few felt like an improvement - some would perform better in a particular area but would also have significant shortcomings I'm not comfortable with in areas C# doesn't.
Yeah OCR remains an area where the open source solutions can't quite compete on quality with what the cloud providers offer. I've found that (unless you have a cost-prohibitive number of documents to process) if there are complex layouts, handwriting, etc. it's worth going to Google or AWS.
It certainly has use cases, just not as many as the hype lead people to believe.
For me:

-Regex expressions: ChatGPT is the best multi-million regex parser to date.

-Grammar and semantic check: It's a very good revision tool, helped me a lot of times, specially when writing in non-native languages.

-Artwork inspiration: Not only for visual inspiration, in the case of image generators, but descriptive as well. The verbosity of some LLMs can help describe things in more detail than a person would.

-General coding: While your mileage may vary on that one, it has helped me a lot at work building stuff on languages i'm not very familiar with. Just snippets, nothing big.
I can only agree, Windows with its force restart, ads and little bugs and lags everywhere makes it a less suited plateform than Linux for word.

I can only lament that it’s kind of the opposite for personal usage.
How does that work? Can authorities compell Microsoft to surreptitiously have only my computer randomly unencrypt and submit stuff? If so, couldn't the authorities just tell MS to activate a tool like recall anyway?
I agree the article title is clickbait. But the article makes the good point that people often say LLMs are "trained on the Internet" to imply all of the statistical problems with that (e.g. the type of content on the Internet, and populations who are more likely to post on the Internet, are not representative samples of knowledge). This article's point is more I feel that so much is being invested in private data that it's no longer really fair to make that implication by default.
If it were a pointer, Microsoft's advice of copying the message would cause a segmentation fault.

Maybe a better comparison would be a weak reference to an object that's in line to being garbage collected.

How are you coming to the conclusion that cars are paying their fair share of costs? I'm not familiar with Australian politics at all, but a quick look found that local governments pay most of road maintenance, not the fuel excise tax[1]. Another hidden cost of cars is that they decrease density of cities and suburbs, which causes all other infrastructure to also get more expensive (sewage, gas, power, etc).

There are tools you can use when you want people to see your perspective, things like empathy and persuasion. You don't just have to fatalistically accept that people think differently than you, you can absolutely attempt to change their mind, in ethical ways.
I usually just use the debug console in VScode since I find it so painful now to do any text/code editing without having something like copilot to fix and complete things for me. You can inspect the contents of variables and immediately evaluate expressions. But there are also iPython notebook viewing extensions for VScode which might be a bit easier if you're new to it.
That's an interesting suggestion.

The pro is that it will simplify things, remove visual and cognitive clutter.

The con is that we stray away from classic chess rules, which I'd still like to avoid as much as possible.

I will think about it. It may be possible to allow as an option.
A big issue with the market argument in converting car drivers to transit riders is the respective networks operate at different scales. Think of a little neighborhood with a bus line on a road; theres probably I’m not even sure call it 20x as many roads in that neighborhood that don’t have a bus line. There is so much more built out of the comprehensive road network everywhere than there is with transit. Cities are barely establishing their cardinal direction rail transit routes today. Even living in a place as densely railed as nyc most of those routes are extremely biased in the sort of commutes they best serve (in to manhattan for the most part).

Since most cities can’t afford to ever build their rail networks as comprehensively as the existing road network in even a small city, we are left with bussing to build that comprehensive network. And what do you know, if you look up most cities bus networks they look pretty good and high coverage. So why don’t people take them? Its still worse than a car. A car is a direct bus on your own schedule, a bus route is a compromised route of average population and job density, might not help you get to where you are going especially for drives outside a fixed commute to a central business district. Scheduling and especially transfers can be fickle.

As long as the coverage and convenience are so lopsided, people are going to take cars if they can afford it, even with a shiny new light rail line or whatever is attempted. I have yet to see a project like that attract wealthy ridership that can afford choice, transit rider median demographics are working class or even at the poverty line in a lot of metros. Even nyc subway ridership is 40k income on avg, bus ridership 28k. In the most expensive city in north america no less.
I believe there is way too much value judgement placed here.

If you have two checkouts, people will use whichever one is faster (assuming everything else is equal). Make one faster, and people will shift from one line to the other. Though, to make it an even better analogy, make one line shorter, and people will start coming in from off the street rather than switching lines.

A much better example - telecommuting. IF commute is bad, one is strongly incentivized to have some work-from-home days. If the commute time is improved, then that incentive disappears and one would then consider commuting daily.

Induced demand I think is generally all about the idea that when something is painful - people don't do it. Take away that pain point, and people come. I don't begrudge people too much for driving, as an example I'll note I do my errands on a bicycle. As such, I'm strongly incentivized to make many stops and fewer trips. Meanwhile, I've noticed that people in my family will make a car trip errand as soon as the need comes up. "Oh, I need to go to the grocery store." They get back, then realize they also needed to go to the hardware store, drive out again real quick and back when had there been more planning, the two trips could have been combined. Switching to a bike is an extreme example to avoid the excessive/unnecessary trips that are made simply because it is so convenient. If the drive time were tripled, then there might be a behavior shift to group errands together. Why do so though if it takes just a few minutes to make the individual trips? Eventually the cost of the trip is sufficient that a person will start conserving, avoiding that cost (which can be: travelling in off-hours, grouping trips together, not doing a trip altogether, finding a different mode of transport, removing the trip by moving, etc...)
Napster is p2p done right, it's a game changer that the music industry was only saved by listening to Apple (read Steve) and doing that catapulted Apple to the first Trillion dollar company in history. It's so good that Metalica members were loosing their sleeps over it.

Apple consumers have been insulated from the semiconductor industry practice of binning for years by high margins and insane growth. Basically Apple could afford to throw out the "only 9 cores work" chips (or whatever) instead of selling them as separate products or performance tiers (or whatever). But now the unit growth is levelling off, so they need to squeeze for "growth" by expanding profits instead.

And one way you do that is by selling the extra chips you'd previously been flagging as yield failures.
Romanization of Chinese writing was already proposed during the New Culture movement in the 1910s-20s. China's most famous modern writer supported it.

However, the Chinese language has evolved alongside the characters for about 3000 years, and it's very difficult to just separate the two. A huge amount of culture is bound up with the characters. Not only that, but the Romanized writing system is viewed as something that only little children use (as an aid to learn the characters). Once you've put in the effort to learn the characters (as about a billion people have), it's very difficult to accept their replacement by what is viewed as a script for children.

I think to would be extremely difficult to make the bus better than driving for people that already have a car. The most obvious option is making parking expensive or hard to find but I think that would lead to new politicians before people really embrace the bus. Reality is that americans dont enjoy being in enclosed spaces with strangers, hard to overcome that.

If it means way fewer people took alternative means, then perhaps it is not good. Particularly when OP mentioned the original goal was to reduce travel times - which the widening did not.

I've just reread this article and it's very good in parts. All the essence about what's gone wrong at Boeing is there but you have to read between the lines a little to extract it all (but it's all there).

But here I don't want to dwell on the broader issues of why Boeing's in trouble. Instead I've copied a section from the article that quotes a Boeing mechanic who clearly knows what he's talking about. What he says hits the nail exactly on the head. He hones in what I believe is wrong with the management of many Western companies today and it's not just Boeing, unfortunately.

Simply, there are too many middle and upper managers—usually Harvard/uni types—who don't have a fucking clue—who don't know one end of a screwdriver from another and they're the ones running companies nowadays. These useless bastards only get in the way.

Now I'm not decrying all uni types for the sake of it (as I'm one), but you'll find many of the best engineers and other professionals often have good trade skills or hands-on experience and they know how to get their hands dirty just like everyone else in the skilled workforce.

What Boeing's mechanic says in the last paragraph is just so fucking correct that it ought to be etched in stone and put up on a public monument:

"…Some veteran union employees at Boeing draw a link between its current issues and a move by the company more than two decades ago to introduce “team leader” managers, replacing a previous system whereby the most senior, experienced factory workers were in charge.

“The team leader isn’t picked by his skill on the airplane – he is picked by his relationship with another manager or another person,” said the mechanic. “Now we don’t have team leads who know what’s up.”

Today, the managers “doing the thinking have never done physical labor before”, they added.

“There’s no way you can learn how to build an airplane in a school on the third floor. There are a lot of things you can learn in the classroom, but building an airplane is not one of them.””
