Your sentiment can be summarized as "Fuck you, I got mine." Hardly convincing.

As an aside, the countryside can survive without cities but cities cannot survive without the countryside. Perhaps consider your dependences before brazenly brushing them off.
There are some lucky circumstances where this is true, but most such accommodations are not like that. Usually some trade-off must be made, in cost or in functionality. For example, with those same cut curbs, we now need to put a bumpy panel to allow blind and visually impaired people to feel the transition from curb to street, but these make the cut much worse for anything with wheels.
{} is explicitly defined as a sequence of length 0 by the language spec.

But for any table which has a nil in it between two non-nil values - i.e. non-sequences - there's basically no guarantees on which one of the several possible values # will return.

Okay, so what did you get from Drucker?
Neither of which matter as the labor for production of said meal and drinks does not benefit from the tip, it is instead the person who takes your order and carries it to the table.
Continuous retraining and deployment maybe? But I'm actually not anti-RAG (although I think it is overrated because the retrieval problem is still handled extremely naively), I just think that fine-tuning should also be in your toolkit.
Elon Musk Is Absolutely Raging About the Trump Verdict
That's probably a useful perspective for someone that makes software... But developers and most other folks interact and reason about computers and software pretty differently. Generally, people have practical problems that computers can solve, and doing so with as few steps, things to learn, or any other hassle is what they really care about. Anything more than that is a nice bonus, but pretty unnecessary. Unless something is really sluggish, they just don't really care much. Some of it is that lots of things on computers justifiably require a bit of a wait, and it takes a nontrivial bit of understanding to know if it's justified. Hell most junior devs don't even have that intuition tuned accurately.

IMO Product Managers should be steering resources based on what end users want rather than what we feel they should want. Now if we could just get more of them to listen to actual users more than marketing people that are more interested in growing their list of feature bullet points than making software that's useful to anybody at all.
This is the best one so far. Combine that with the 'if you refresh this page the text will disappear' from another poster and I think we have a very workable error message that outlines the issue, solution, and due caution necessary, for the potentially non-technical user.

The poor in Paris indeed live far from the center. These suburbs are dreary like most but the French public transit system is good enough that getting to the center areas from many suburb is still relatively quick.
That was true like 100 years ago, but nowadays katakana words are extremely popular and increasingly used over their Sinitic counterparts, so I feel it's a valid argument.

Also it's not uncommon for words like ろ過（濾過）to be written in part kanji especially in news... if that trend continues beyond the 常用 kanji we might end up with a Japanese that is closer to Korean.
Yes, people have the option of leaving. That option is so unattractive that even gainfully employed and employable people will sleep rough rather than leave.

Our biggest challenge in MA is building enough housing capacity so people can park their heads somewhere safe every night. Since geometry brooks no compromise, it's nice that none, absolutely none of our existing building stock can be torn down for highways.

It's also nice that our inner ring cities have abolished parking requirements, which makes it easier to build more housing.
One of the most effective ways to lead others is to be a working example of the behavior you are trying to promote. If you think people should garden more, then you damn well better be out gardening, and showing people how it improves your life.
Tips get pooled. Only in very expensive restaurants does the chef fully prepare your plate. Arranging that your table gets all it's meals at once is not as simple as you might think it is.

> 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.

How did that work out for Korea when they switched to Hangul?
There is no way to change it other than to ignore it. Are you imagining some cultural council you can appeal to to change it? The culture is nothing but thousands of individual decisions.
Completely agree. Was looking for citations too and this was the first I hit, wish they pointed forward.
I hate when elitist jerks decide my greater than 1080p phone display is somehow inadequate for showing their grand artistic vision and I'm not allowed to look at their photos of an old Mac unless I do so exactly the way they want me to.

So you drive the office workers out of the city and then what do you do with the other commercial business? They still commute or you raise taxes enough for the city center to die out and hope for suburbanization?
It's similarly impossible to build roads with enough capacity for everyone to drive. Cars work fine in small towns and low-density areas, but once the population and/or density grows too high, traffic becomes terrible. If you fix the population density and let the city grow, the traffic that needs to cross any particular cross section of the city grows asymptotically faster than the length of the cross section (and therefore road capacity). The traditional solution was lowering the density by replacing houses with roads, but that's no longer popular.

Traffic is a hard problem. There is no single solution that fits everywhere, and you will never be able to go everywhere with your preferred means of transit. At least if you are not a major political leader such as the US president. If you are, you can just stop the normal traffic and let the peasants wait.
> Just got back from Atlanta. Much nicer and cleaner and cheaper than New York City.

Minor note that 2/3 of Atlanta was destroyed in 1864.

So in contrast to other major American cities, it had the benefit of being mostly planned in an automotive era.

Add in the fact that the surrounding geography doesn't preclude expansion in any direction, and it's essentially a "best-case" city for cars.

How are you quantifying “it’s safer”? The evidence doesn’t generally support this statement. What calculation are you using to suggest that?
Standard tip for "good" service at a restaurant used to be 15%. At some point it went up to 18, then 20, and I've been to places where the "default" on the payment terminal is 25%.

If the stylist owns the salon, no tip. If the stylist is renting a chair there, then tip according to your motivations.
Hadn't seen that! But given how Amazon works, what's to prevent sketchy sellers from just putting their school supplies in another category like gardening tools or automotive repair or something? It's not like amazon's metadata is useful or enforced to any degree.
Funny of you to think your non-technical uncle is aware that there is such a thing as "mail server". All they know is that this email thing works, in the sense that he can send and receive emails.
There's absolutely no way farmers can be more than subsistence farmers without selling to the masses in the city. Country farmers like to pretend they enjoy living off the land but outside of what they actually sell to make money, they would be losing same amenities as the city that they are not willing to give up.
I admire your commitment towards not writing Scheme but I recommend giving it a go. Maybe use it as an opportunity to learn Vim or Emacs and have a go at structural editing. It'll change how you think about your code...
Honestly, this is giving the bar exam (and GPT-4) too much credit. The bar tests memorization because it's challenging for humans and easy to score objectively. But memorization isn't that important in legal practice; analysis is. LLMs are superhuman at memorization but terrible at analysis.

There is Linus Torvalds quote I really like which goes, “There are people who point at the moon and say I want to go there. I look at the pothole on the road and I want to fix that before I fall in.”

What I found is if you start looking for societal potholes there are a whole lot of them from climate, immigration, healthcare, etc. However, don’t go into these alone. Find other people and organizations who are already charting the path and figure out how to help them.
I have this happening once in a while. I know you didn’t mean to single out iPhone 15, but this issue seems to occur in any device with iOS 17 (and all its minor releases till date). I have had to restart my phone several times because of the Files app not responding.
I'm not sure how useful it is to adjudicate what is ultimately just a property of the language. It's not something to celebrate, or mourn, or (importantly) try to work around, it's just the way things work.

It seems like you're just fighting the language. This is not the path to success :)
> financially protecting their employees

They could just pay a living wage like most other countries where tipping is not a thing.
> sometimes its $200 to the Uber driver with pictures of his sick daughter all over his car.

Oh man, that's what I'm doing next. Are there any sick-child-as-a-service providers or am I going to have to go source my own? Can I just use stock photos?

Would you tip more if there was a screen in the back seat playing a slideshow of the sick child with a Sarah McLachlan song in the background? How about a live chat function where you can talk to it before you tip? Maybe an achievement system for repeat customers? Fill out your punch card and you get to inject the cyclophosphamide!

What if we had the state reclassify our cabs as foster homes and put a foster kid in every front passenger seat? Do they have to be terminally ill or can we just shave them and feed them a diet of lead paint chips?

With your free time you can exercise and eat well, which will get you further health wise then having insurance.
Why should it work that way though? Initial hiring salaries are generally based largely on the market rate for talent, not the expected profit creates by the employee. If they are expected to share 10% of all profits with existing employees wouldn't that create incentives for them to fire existing employees and rehire at market rates, effectively avoiding the profit sharing scheme?

In theory it does sound great for the employee, I wouldn't argue with that at all. But unless profit sharing is part of the compensation agreement up front it seems unreasonable to expect.

That said, some companies absolutely do offer bonuses tied to profit targets. They're one-time bonuses so employee pay isn't adjusted up or down every single year to follow profits, they just get some cash incentive to share some of the profits with employees.
> If a former President can be criminally convicted over such a trivial matter—motivated by politics, rather than justice—then anyone is at risk of a similar fate

It is a dark day when a private citizen can be tried for something they did while they were a private citizen and some time as an elected official inbetween does not cancel that out
If you stop tipping they'll spit in your food or rate you down on Uber. Once I didn't tip at a semi upscale restaurant and the waiter followed our group down the street and asked me why not quite upset. I explained the food took three hours to be served and was terrible but he already knew that, the point was embarrassment.

You have to tip. It's not really a request. That said, a custom gifting a few dollars to those working brutal menial jobs isn't such a tragedy. What we need is a mechanism where servers can be tipped directly bypassing management. Could be just a QR code badge linked to stripe fast checkout.

I imagine a waiter living off Costco hotdogs and soda standing eight hours a day holding a jug of ice water and a game face with the heat of the kitchen to his back wondering if he can make both rent and the car payments. Watching groups of businessmen and beautiful women eat $300 meals leaving half of the food uneaten. It's emasculating, cruel. There needs to be something like the tipping custom. That kind if experience can build real resentment
Point of Sale payment processors need to have competitive rates, maybe there are some with fees up to 5%, but the most I’ve seen are at or under 3%
Security is confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
NSA don’t get to be the good guys of infosec. They’ve been the adversaries for decades fighting against good encryption, fighting against good security, illegally capturing data whenever they could. Remember the Snowden leaks? I certainly do.
Now they want to pretend none of that ever happened and advise on good security. No. Let’s take it back a couple steps and have some truth and accountability first.
Marshal McLuhan's book Understanding Media had the full title "Understanding media: the extensions of man."

And he had a chapter about the automobile.

If you've ever had the chilling experience of a skid, the terrifying adrenaline surge during that second where it is clear the car is no longer under your control, you know the dude was onto something. The car is an extension of our bodies. An extra body part.

QuakeC was powerful enough to create mods like Quess (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD2Qz_hH2U4) and Quake Rally (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg0hTSLE-NM). Although the latter was really pushing the limits of the engine.

And lest we forget, Reaper Bot, the thing that made PvE deathmatch a reality.

To this day I'm amazed that so much cool stuff was done in QuakeC despite the language not even having arrays...
Most of the noise and pollution in cities comes from cars.

Windows 95 running on a modern day computer would be bloody fast.

I pay cash, avoids the terminal entirely.
Yeah the locking up is a big issue right now. It happens when you first load a repo and the client populates its local IndexedDB with all the RPC data coming down, which is 10-100k insertions and causes browser slowness. I've tried a couple of strategies that run them in timed batches to avoid overwhelming the browser, but it still has trouble especially on big repos. If you know of a way to bulk-load IDB without browser issues, let me know; my next strategy is probably just going to be either to defensively trickle-load or maybe try to measure microtask wakeup times to detect event loop load for backoff. Once I get it right I'll write a blog post about it because it's an unexpectedly challenging problem.

The good news, though, is that the load delays happen only the first time: if you let it warm up once and reload later, it should be much snappier because IDB reads are much faster than IDB writes.

The hover on click idea came up in another reply and I really like it as an option you can choose. That's going to be a high priority for the next release, I'm glad you also mentioned it.

Pre-rendering is a very good idea and while I had considered it before, your comment has me thinking about a much more general use case for it. I think it might enable some very snappy UI behavior, particularly around time-scrubbing or timelapse animations. I'm really glad you said something; this might lead to something very cool.

Thanks for the kind words and thoughtful feedback!
These kind of things aren't really summarizable into a quick bite is my experience. It's because of the subtle nuances, the way an experienced person approaches a problem.
I'm from Los Angeles so excuse my hardy laughter. I'm sure Austin is great but that commute time will surely balloon as the population density continues to rise. Austin has ~3000/sq mi vs Tokyo's ~16,000/sq mi.
It’s not that no-tipping policy won’t stick; it’s that it’s allowed by the tax code. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped

The code allows for a lower minimum wage when tips are involved.

Getting rid of this complication in the tax code would make owning restaurants harder, but fix other societal issues.

Can’t say it’s be an easy decision or trade off to make - a lot of restaurants wouldn’t be able to stay in business and those who like eating out would have a lot less and more expensive choices.

No, it does not work that way, you can't eat and exercise a broken leg away.
The best hospitality I've personally been witness to has been in Japan, where tipping is not only not required but viewed as offensive.
They do have well designed clean bathrooms and buying a couple

Is it me or does Starbucks coffee taste burnt? I prefer 711 on taste every time. They need to fix that
Don't forget all the abbreviation. "超市", supermarket, is abbreviated from "超級", super, and "市場", market. The equivalent in English would be "sup-mark" or something along those lines. (Or in Japanese, just "super".)
> The idea that fine-tuning isn't even a consideration (perhaps even something they think is absolutely incorrect if the section titles of the unfinished section is anything to go by) is very strange to me and suggests a pretty narrow perspective IMO

The article has a section called "When to finetune", along with links to separate pages describing how to do so. They absolutely don't say that "fine-tuning isn't even a consideration". Instead, they describe the situations in which fine-tuning is likely to be helpful.
Those are weasel words and you know it.

Ford and GM have more and better engineers than Tesla, but can't achieve what he did.

Rivian and Lucid are full of Ex-Tesla employees, again, aren't at the same level of profitability and production levels Tesla had when it was their age.

"This article" is an explanation of a property of the language, written by one of its authors. It's not a position piece, it's just an additional bit of documentation.

I mean, your position is totally valid, no argument. But it's definitely not some kind of objective fact (I certainly don't agree). And it's essentially an objection to fundamental properties of the language as it exists. Whether or not those properties represent a failure of the language is a question for the philosophers, but regardless, your code needs to respond to things as they are, not as you wish they were :)
Managing labor is basically an NP-hard problem: Hiring / Interpersonal Skills / Effective management of people / Effective reward and retention programs / Career Development.

Ask HN: What are your real-world production use cases for LLMs?
Inspired by a comment on another post, I think we should share more production use cases for LLMs instead of just theoretical best practices.

Can you share the use cases you've seen/built in production?

It should include the following details:

- The problem it solves

- The implementation details (models, infrastructure, etc.)

- The business impact it had

Mandatory service charges cannot be counted as tip in California and must be reported as restaurant income. Also, the tipped minimum wage is no different from non-tipped minimum wage in California.
My first exposure to Unix was at college in computer labs full of X terminals all logging in to Alpha servers running Digital Unix (it was a DEC school). Then I installed RedHat on my own computer, and didn't even own a computer running Windows for the next 20 years...

Lots of nostalgia for that kind of environment.
They are not comparable. The Chinese script was tailor-made for Chinese languages, while it was simply adopted by the Koreans, which arguably was a bad fit because it’s 1) agglutinative and 2) not even a Sino-Tibetan language. Even then hanja is still part of the national education curriculum today (look up 한문 교육용 기초 한자).

A small side benefit to tipping...

During early Covid, when I'd get grocery delivery from a company that happened to be known for often treating employees badly, I'd tip much more than the default. Because they deserved it and more. But a side benefit was the amusement of imagining the CEO getting pissed off that a worker was getting paid more than the minimum that the company had calculated it could get away with.

(Well, it turns out the company was stealing tips, so maybe the CEO had the last laugh, but I tried.)
