> The only problem is the pollution, which is fixed by EVs.

Unfortunately, EVs do not solve the problem of air pollution from motor vehicles: tires produce a LOT of particulates.

The new trend in the US is to ask for a tip on the payment terminal before you can enter your card for payment. Starbucks does this and it’s tricky in the drive through when you’re trying to be quick. Trying to figure out how not to add a tip takes time so you just select one of the three tip amounts on the screen to complete the transaction. Other places are doing this too.

You make a good point, but that’s not what they are referencing. To-go places are asking for a tip on the payment terminal.

I wonder if physiology is at play here. objectively setting the price at .95x and giving the buyer the ability to incentivize the quality of service by tipping is better than setting the price at 1.15 regardless of the quality of service.
Tipping gives the buyer an ability to incentivize the service provider

It's important that you look the barista in the eye when you select 0% tip. You're not doing something shameful, you're doing something powerful.

If I use a delivery service that charges a delivery fee (whether on each order or a yearly membership) I tip 1% on the order. That's it.

That delivery fee is supposed to pay the delivery drivers. It's not my responsibility to help some company figure out their payroll.

Likewise I do not tip Uber and the like because I'm already paying them to drive me someplace.

The only place I might actually trip would be a sit-down restaurant with tableside service. And I tip not based on the value of what I ordered, but based on how much time the server spent attending to my needs.

If you took my order, and then delivered it, and that's about it for my interaction, don't expect me to tip a lot - you didn't do a lot of work. Am I demanding and needed all kinds of whatever? I'll tip more.

> Get takeout. No reasonable person expects you to tip your restaurant worker when you get takeout. So one way to avoid leaving a gratuity is to get your next restaurant meal to go.

This is a way to avoid tipping if and only if you're comfortable manually selecting "no tip". It doesn't matter if you're ordering online or at the counter, you will be prompted for a tip these days when ordering takeout, often with some obscene percentage preselected that you have to opt out of.

As multiple people noted in the article, this tendency has done more to exhaust people of tipping than anything else. A tip jar is nonconfrontational and just gives an easy way to give extra if you want to. But these terminals are turning tipping into something that is actively stressful for a lot of people.

The only bright side I see is that by completely exhausting everyone they might be responsible for ending the practice everywhere and forcing restaurants to pay a wage.
I disagree. No amount of fine tuning will ever give the LLM the relevant context with which to answer my question. Maybe if your context is a static Wikipedia or something that will never change, you can fine tune it. But if your data and docs keep changing, how is fine tuning going to be better than RAG?
Guess you never had to fight luarocks then. Everything’s easy when you don’t need to pull in any dependency (which is the case for the most common Lua use cases: host application provides helpers the best they can, you write your own code for everything else). Hell, C’s package management is great if you have nothing to manage.

The first and foremost reason for the complexity of Python’s dependency story is that it’s powerful and people use it a lot.
Then clearly you have not spent much time in Tokyo, the trains don't run between 12 and 5am. That's a lot of the day to not have access to public transit, especially for peak partying hours on a weekend.
Yeah, leaving small old buffers behind seems like a major no-no to me. It could be useful if you think you'll shrink back down, but it feels like cache locality suffering and iteration/tracking penalties strongly incentive getting rid of the old buffer asap.

One other thing I want to shout out, I saw what I thought was a really neat multicast ring buffer the other day where the author has an atomic for each element, rather than the typical reader/writer atomics. The promise was having much less contention on any given atomic, in most cases. https://github.com/rezabrizi/SPMC-Queue https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40410172
bro, i am 21 and a fresh graduate and i get 24 days of PTO at my job , 5 weeks really isn’t that crazy.
I stayed recently in Askakusa on a family trip and the train was about a 15 minute walk away. Even in the close in districts there are many residential places that are a 15-20 minute walk away, and on top of that you might have to take a bus to the train, or transfer lines, etc. Even in Tokyo the door to door time is usually much faster driving.

I don’t know about Singapore or Hong Kong. But I suspect rich people there drive rather than taking public transit.
I'm pretty sure if they tried in Japan, the guards would remove them.
I have both Quest 3 and AVP, and they are not even close for “watching videos in bed”. Partly just pure video and audio quality, where the AVP is a generation ahead, at least.

But also for less than singleminded video watching: if you get a text, the notification appears. If you are watching a long-running deployment, you can have a terminal window off to the side to glance at periodically.

And if you want a drink of water or even to get take the glass to the kitchen for a refill, you don’t take the headset off. The passthrough is that good on AVP, where Q3 is sort of functional but very acid trippy with bending geometry when you look around.

Is AVP “worth” 5x as much? IDK. Depends on your income and priorities. But it is certainly a dramatically different experience.

(Q3 is still hands down better for games, BTW)
I just cracked my phone screen, so I’m all thumbs right now.
When I was a regular at a breakfast shop (it wasn't a "coffee shop") it was well before this automated payment terminal checkout forced tip stuff. I did not tip at all but instead would gift the counter staff mini champagne bottles during the holidays.
‘“The chair of Tesla’s board, Robyn Denholm, wrote in a message to shareholders that “Elon delivered the type of growth that most thought was impossible.”’

He didn’t do it all. The company of very smart people got them there. Sure he is the CEO but… he couldn’t do it all himself.
Restaurant owners have tried no-tip policy. They can’t get good servers because they’d rather work for tips. I know servers who make six figures from tips alone…
It's often not the same job behind the scenes. Your more expensive meal typically requires more effort to prepare. The other function of cost is drinks and if you order more drinks then you require more service.
I think these days you are rewarding the greedy payment systems.

The article ends with:

> “Tipping should be based on exceptional service,” she says. “It’s not an entitlement.”

For sit-down restaurants, tipping is a cultural convention that was adopted long ago, and has been baked into pricing, wages, and sometimes even taxes.

Someone might make an argument that it'd be better to have a different cultural convention.

But simply ignoring the actual cultural convention would be a big deal, adversely affecting the livelihoods of many low-income people.
This is why it has to be legislation that simultaneously forces the entire market to stop it at once. That may not ever happen, but these terminals at fast casual takeout places are definitely starting to build consensus against tipping.

> What's becoming a problem is that many businesses that weren't tip-related are suddenly requesting tips for service. Those are the ones that people should not tip.

The problem is that the line between where tipping is required is incredibly difficult for people to understand. It used to be that if they asked you to enter a tip that meant that the employee wasn't getting a living wage unless you gave something. Now you can't use that, and all the "simple" ways that people say you can know are just confusing to most people. The result is that people have to either make a random decision or consistently tip everywhere or nowhere, and everywhere isn't financially possible.

They wouldn't be if everyone was in a car.
Would love to hear more about this. Indiscrete Thoughts is one of my favorite books.
I just ask the person how much they need/want if they are present and only give cash/venmo so it cannot be diverted to management, taxes or corporate.

Like I’ll say “what would be an amount that will solve a problem you’re worried about?”

Usually it’s just “oh whatever you think” so I just do whatever I feel in that case and move on.

Sometimes it’s zero, and sometimes its $200 to the Uber driver with pictures of his sick daughter all over his car.

If the point is to compensate the person because they are wage slave then I feel obligated to directly compensate the employee bypassing the structure they are in

Tip pools are more complicated and I generally ask how the pool is split before deciding

It’s such a scam but most people who are stuck in it don’t have many options
Don’t get me wrong. I love the Japanese transit system. It’s a marvel. But rich people in Japan usually drive because it’s faster than even an amazing transit system. And the beauty of somewhere like Atlanta is that everyone can live like that.

It’s also extremely inconvenient with three kids, especially if you’re trying to bring a stroller onto the train during rush hour. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that every city with excellent public transit is also dying because people aren’t having kids.
What happened to the liberal democratic values we fought to protect?
Really? I feel like this sort of thing is hugely dependant on start and endpoints. Trains crush cars during peak, and are usually still better in dense areas, but add 10-20 minutes of last mile either end and driving quickly ends up faster (although in dense areas parking is not cheap)
As they should. I agree. He’s got plenty of ownership. This is just a rouse to get Tesla to pay for Twitter.

The default should be an error, since that's the only way to prevent issues where the wrong value gets passed around a lot before finally blowing up somewhere else (and good luck debugging that).

In cases where you really want to fetch the value or else get some default if it doesn't exist, there should be a way to do so that is distinct from regular dereferences and element access.
This doesn’t seem like an unusual finding considering how good humans are at tool use in general. Picking up objects and using them as if they were part of our own body is pretty standard for us.

I remember that learning how to drive a car was actually quite difficult, but by now, even rental cars seem like an extension of my body that I can control mostly unconsciously. (Operating vehicles while entirely unconscious: not recommended)

If you're concerned about their ethics in paying their employees why would you continue to use the service? Aside from the ethics why would you use a service where quality is guaranteed to be minimal?

I had plenty of experiences like that, but also a happy one once. There was some Slipknot song I had downloaded that was edited to repeat the final chorus 2x. When I head the real song on CD I was disappointed, it was actually a lot better with that one more run through the chorus.
Love your policy. I think it’s a good stating point for my own. Do you mind sharing amounts if you are comfortable? I’m 15% for good service at sit down restaurants as that’s how I was raised, 20% for hair stylists so I can build a positive long term relationship. Avoid valeting as much as possible but the fee should be the tip for that IMO
This is known as a market failure and it's what the government is for. It will likely never happen, but we need legislation to end tipping in an entire market all at once.
The solution is to reverse it in my opinion. Tipping has ruined the service industry, for customers and workers.

After dealing with the current state of affairs regarding the front end, I think this is pretty interesting. I've been writing Go web apps with templ and htmx. I've punted on dealing with CSS using a cdn and bulma. I did get Tailwind and friends working, but it required a lot of work being outside a React/JS framework like next.js. It also felt really weird using npm to install CSS.

The nice thing about this is that you can get a tailwind Go lib to programmatically build into your binary. There are no extra files, one build step, and one binary output. After trying out Fly and Vercel, I went to running things with docker on a VM, and a single binary in a container makes things much simpler IMO.

This looks pretty cool and I look forward to seeing folks do interesting things with it.
It's much more like JS without all the prototype stuff.
No, you don’t. plain and simple. Tons of people living together share the costs. the few in the suburbs need to pay for their own infra. They’re not now. The cities are subsidizing the suburbs. that’s not fair.

Weirdly the solution for Starbucks here is to use their app’s barcode for payment; then tipping is buried. As much as I enjoy Starbucks, it’s such a commodity that it seems odd to tip for. They aren’t really bringing anything to you or cleaning up after you.
There's this thing called the "curb-cut effect," where you make a change in order to accommodate people with a specific disability, and it turns out that the change is way more broadly useful than you anticipated. It's named after the ramps at intersections that were mandated by the ADA for folks in wheelchairs, but they turned out to be really good ideas in general and helped folks with strollers, on bicycles, and more. Similar things happened with closed captioning. Lots of other examples.

I bring it up because I wonder if this isn't the opposite of that. You come up with a technology aimed at healthy people, study how healthy people can adapt to using it, and maybe popularize it one day with healthy people. Because there are so many more people whose digits all work, it's a much broader audience. But once it's productionized and popular, I bet it'd probably do a lot of good for folks who'd need it.

Hmm, I don't want to talk specifics about my experience, but maybe check out some of the case studies on Surge's website - https://www.surgehq.ai/ (about halfway down the page).

> Do they ask PhD to explain root of negative 1 and why is it complex?

This isn't necessarily impossible, but I would consider it to be infeasible with existing labelling workforces. Of course if you really needed a dataset like this and you were sufficiently resourced and willing to spend, you could maybe make it work (I would question whether you really needed PhDs though, that might be hard to swing at any price point).

But the core idea behind your question is correct - this is what a dataset might look like and hiring/contracting appropriately-skilled people and asking them to do repetitive tasks with some guidance is how you would go about getting it. Depending on the need, it can be quite a bit more complex too - if you needed self-driving car driving behavior data maybe you build a simulator and hire people to drive in the simulator and use that as training data (made up and probably crap example, but it illustrates the possibilities).

Some people think that labelling workforces are all low skill and there is a lot of good things low skill workforces can do well (visual stuff, basic language and emotion tasks), but you might be surprised at the ability to get skilled labelers. There are lots of smart/educated people around the world and there is ridiculous amounts of money flowing into this space.
Nah. Look at this way. Drucker is like going to university. It's a mirror. If you're nothing, just passing through, and have no substance that's how the university or Drucker will feel. Meanwhile there's a whole bunch of people who know a good thing when they see it.
By following this analogy, what would stop us (in IT) from requesting tips when we are not happy with our salary?

This tipping madness should stop and is IMHO US specific - I don't see that the rest of the world sees tipping as something "by default", and in many countries tipping is even disrespectful.

I agree that banning tipping should be considered. I haven’t seen it mentioned in this thread yet but the payment terminals of course benefit from the tipping options because the transaction amount grows as does they amount they get from the percentage based portion of their transaction fee. If I had to guess, adding this option for all restaurants probably increases their amount processed by 3-5%
CVS is defending against hundreds, maybe thousands of small time crime rackets.

But imagine you’re Black and Decker, and you want to hire thousands of thieves around the country to target tens of thousands of your customers (People who bought DeWalt, Stanley, etc).

The 386SX ran at 16 MHz, was seven years old at the release of Windows 95 and was slightly below the stated minimum system requirements. By contrast, I had a 166 MHz Pentium (released four months after Windows 95) and I remember it being slow enough that I would go do something else while it booted.

I see references that mention that installing fonts can significantly impact boot time. Maybe the installed software and devices had a significant impact.
