> "My dog is off leash because I want them to have freedom" is a profoundly selfish decision if you're in a place to encounter other dogs.

This is cultural, I think. In the UK at least it’s often the norm for dogs to be off leash in open areas like commons (public land, usually grassy or wooded, or a mix of the two), or in other settings where they’re away from roads and won’t encounter livestock.

On public footpaths in the countryside farmers will put up signs indicating where livestock are and where dogs need to be kept on leash. The rest of the time, again, most dogs will be off leash.

Compliance is really high, with almost all dog owners I see following these rules.

There’s a deterrent as well: if your dog is bothering farm animals the farmer is within their rights to shoot the dog.

I do think the post you’re responding to has a very naive view of dog psychology though. Thousands of years of selective breeding means that dogs are fundamentally not wild animals, and as such their behaviours and needs are quite different from their wild relations, such as wolves. Many breeds of dog are so far removed that they would very likely be incapable of surviving in the wild: I’m thinking principally of designer breeds like pugs which, overall, I strongly disapprove of.
I wonder if it's more about having room for emergency vehicles or for people to pull over if there's an accident without totally stopping traffic.

Some (all) CEOs learned that offering a free month coupon/voucher for Future Security Services to secure your information against a breach like the one that just happened on the platform that's offering you a free voucher to secure your data that sits on the platform that was compromised and leaked your data, is a nifty-clean way to handle such legal inconveniences.

Oh, and some supposed financial penalty is claimed, but never really followed up on to see where that money went, or what it accomplished/paid for - and nobody talks about the amount of money that's made by the Legal-man & Machine-owitz LLP Esq. that handles these situations, in a completely opaque manner (such as how much are the legal teams on both sides of the matter making on the 'scandal')?

My guess is the two lanes merging into one are only getting one lane. That is, only one lane is added after the merge, and both overpass lanes are merging into the one new lane.

But if there are indeed being two lanes added due to the merge, agree that doesn’t make much sense.

If the former, also agree that they should’ve added two lanes instead of one. But that decision could’ve come down to physical limitations, cost, or something else.
During rush hour most people are going from their homes to places of employment, which are generally highly concentrated.

The "homes" part is distributed, true, but guess what, once you have a good rail network, it provides decent coverage for that (which you can complement via walkability/bikeability/scooterability :-p, which makes for more liveable environments). And "train commuter rage" is much less frequent than "road rage" plus a lot more people die or get maimed driving a car/getting hit by a car than they do because of trains.
Comparing stealing a physical item to copying a digital file also doesn't make any sense.

Ironically, if you spin a record super-fast for higher quality audio, it will probably sound horrible. The holes often aren't perfectly in center; and it creates a waawaawaawaawaa (or wawawawawa on 45s) sound in any long sustained note.

Playing a record super-slow for a long playback would result in everything sounding off-key.

(This is why cd players make a shushushushush sound when you hold them up to your ear, it's the laser rapidly adjusting to an off-center hole.)

This also gets into an important difference between digital and analog: The ability to abstract away the physical playback mechanism from the representation allows for buffering so that playback is at the correct speed, even if the physical medium has an inconsistent speed. Digital also allows a continuous signal to be constructed from a broken signal: IE, streaming audio is constructed from many separate network packets.

In contrast, analog audio equipment is usually "instant," and digital audio equipment sometimes has a delay.
There is no way in hell that if the roles were reversed and an arab person had made the statements that Tal Broda has made that he would have ever been allowed to keep his job.

Indeed, and the guy definitely seems to be a piece of work.
Some of his more interesting (now deleted) pronouncements, according to that fine site, The Raven Mission:

"There is no Palestine. There never was, and never will be"

"More! No mercy! IDF don't stop!"

"MORE. Don't stop"

"The IDF didn't even start to clean southern Gaza"

"We should have never left [Gaza]. Now we need take it back, by force, and keep it forever. Nothing else works."

"Don't worry about [killing civilians]. Worry about us"

https://www.ravenmission.org/people/professionals/tal-broda

The fact that OpenAI is using kid gloves to deal with the matter -- rather than taking the only decent and sensible course of action available to them at this point, which of course to simply fire the guy -- speaks volumes of its leadership, their obvious biases and complete lack of ethical grounding in regard to these matters.

Raven Mission maintains profiles of other Twitter/X users whose employers also apparently don't being publically associated with deeply obnoxious (and sometimes openly racist) sentiment of this sort. Most are fairly low-level, but the list includes partners at celebrated VC firms such as Bessemer Venture Partners and Union Square Ventures.

The latter individuals, being listed as Partners (one of them a Managing Partner), can be safely assumed to be speaking for their respective firms.
It turns the whole world into a computer science problem. A distributed database of state with some malicious data. With various asynchronous processes that have different versions of the data. All needing to make decisions with incomplete data.
Yea, nobody seems to be able to handle problems that require solid, but moderate, non-urgent effort. The problem is either a 0, where nobody even knows, let alone cares that it's happening or a 10, where it's treated as though everyone's chair is on fire and the company is losing $10M per millisecond.

> There's a few trucks hauling freight

There's a lot of trucks hauling freight. The US has the largest train network in the world, it notoriously handles primarily freight, and still, more than 70% of freight in the US goes by truck.

If these roads are the average urban interstate highways, then about 10%ish of the traffic is heavy truck traffic.

Just yesterday I discovered a channel that asks for people who watched all the way to the end to replay the video at 0.25x speed to support the channel. I have zero clue if that would work and I’m not going to do that, but he makes good videos so I mean, if others want to do, it’s whatever I guess. I no longer care about crap like that, YouTube is essentially its own medium at this point.
You are correct with your question, SRFI 1[0] describes the knil argument as the "seed" or fold state (the latter for a recursive implementation). A sentinel value usually refers to a final value.

I tried to do some AI database clean up this weekend - simple stuff like zip lookup and standardizing spacing, and caps - and ChatGPT managed to screw it ip over and over. It’s the sort of thing there a little error means the answer is totally wrong so I spent an hour refining the query and then addressing edge cases etc. I could have just done it all in excel in less with less chance of random (hard to catch) errors.

>but why?

Because otherwise I wouldn't be able to get it back. But if I have some kind of temporary hiding feature, I can easily use that as soon as I notice that the operation hasn't immediately completed. (And again, the common case should be that it completes immediately.)

And if something isn't supposed to be instantaneous, I hold that the interface shouldn't be modal anyway.
It should be possible to have a platform that has a mutable reference with an API like this:

Self driving cars don't solve high traffic volumes. Cars just can't move enough people per hour, I think the average lane can move about 1800 cars per hour and most people don't share rides unless forced to. So that means about 1800-2500 people per hour per lane. A decent subway moves about 20 000 people per hour per line, I think.

Cars are low to medium density transport, at best.
Doesn't it depend on your platform, and isn't experimentation the way things become standardized?

User notifications on MacOS are definitely standardized, but originally they were Growl notifications until Apple made it a first-party API and iterated on it.
They don't and are definitely at the dumb/cheap end of the scale. (or in ATACMS' case, dumb/big)

I think anything developed before ~2005 that wasn't explicitly anti-ship doesn't have terminal guidance. Cruise missiles maybe/not.

Things after (e.g. SBD2 / StormBreaker) started to, because components were finally cheap and mature enough during the development cycle.
I mispoke a bit when saying it is ALL because of the case where zero people win.

It still holds for non-zero cases, too.

Since whether any individual wins is independent of other people winning, selecting only the situations where you win doesn't change the odds of other people winning, it simply adds a 100% chance of you winning. So it has all the same combination of winners, plus you.

I don't have time right now to type out a more full explanation, but I hope this somewhat makes sense given my previous comment.
You'd trust the news over a government evacuation order though? I certainly wouldn't.

That's what comes with actually using the instruction set of modern CPU's instead of the lowest common denominator instruction set.

However, note that some of the modern instructions like AVX-512 use a lot of electrical power on the CPU, for example pushing a 12gen Intel chip above 300W.

Yes, the paradox of having too many choices. Sounds like a good thing, but it causes anxiety.
Editing, typesetting and curating are expensive. Yes, authors can do this and they contribute quite a bit, but it's not enough to support the high quality documents produced by Elsevier.

Yes, tex-savvy authors can do a pretty good job but it's just not the same. That's one reason authors choose to pay the page charges.

Curating is also surprisingly important. Sure, you can often get some author to send you a free PDF from something written 10-20 years ago. But it's also not uncommon for the author to be very unresponsive. Maybe they left academia. Maybe they're lazy. Who knows? But I know that I can't count on getting a free PDF from any author.
I think they meant "unified" here in the same sense in which BusyBox is unified, i.e. several things you'd normally use different tools for combined into one executable/project. They're not trying to invent any new standards, most of these tasks already have PEPs that the existing tools and uv both implement. Maybe not the best word choice though because I normally have the same instinctive reaction in response to someone claiming something is "unified".
In my view a free market cant include massive asymmetries of power between actors. Individual authors face large costs for not playing the game, and Elsevier and others have used their market power to do everything they can to perpetuate a stupid system of intellectual snobbery that keeps them incumbent. Authors are in small part to blame, but mostly they are the victims.
I'm curious why you prefer Rexx as a scripting language on Windows over something like Python or even PowerShell. I use it quite a bit for work and find it pretty limiting. With a lack of built in libraries even some simple stuff like parsing JSON can be a huge pain.
Nice to see Scheme being active. It is really used much in companies?

While the author speaks about Rust iterators at first, Transducers seem better in the end.

In Java 23, the introduction of gatherers seems to be an attempt at having a more open set of functions of a stream, which transducers don’t suffer from.

Rust Iterators seems to also have this limited sed of actions available (but some crate like tap seem to allow to .pipe() a function).
Citation needed that it's a free market. It looks a lot like a market where entrenched players have excessive power.
Well, there are solutions but then you get into even uglier politics.

Allow higher density housing to be built without opposition (for example up zoning 1 level should be automatically approved: single family home can be torn down to build a duplex, etc). Then reduce and remove parking requirements.

Once that's done density will just go up on its own and... cars don't scale. Traffic will absolutely murder everyone and they'll start demanding public transit.

However this whole path is killed via NIMBY.
Have you been to a city(and country) with a good public transport system?
I live in Zürich(not from here) and it blows my mind how convenient it is to walk 25 meters to the nearest tram stop and easily get to anywhere in the city.

I used to think like you, that having car was a necessity, even freedom. Now I see it for what it is, a ball and chain.

I've been closely following the Astral team's work. I am excited by this release and look forward to trying out uv again.

I have been working with python for over 10 years and have standardized my workflow to only use pip & setuptools for all dependency management and packaging [1]. It works great as a vanilla setup and is 100% standards based. I think uv and similar tools mostly shine when you have massive codebases.

Show HN: SmolCopilot – 360M LLM writing assistant in the browser
Hey! I've been really intrigued about small, on device models recently.

This project was to explore that a small base model running in the browser as a Co Pilot-like writing assistant. You can check out the demo here: smol-complete.vercel.app.

Smal, on device models have a lot of advantages with low latency, cost, privacy (a big one), and being task specific. The demo will definitely repeat itself and hallucinate sometimes, but let me know what you think!

AGI Safety and Alignment at Google DeepMind: A Summary of Recent Work
Unfortunate that python dev these days requires dependency manager managers to set up an entire for-purpose python just for each project. As opposed to being able to run on the system python (like every other scripting language). A victim of it's popularity.

Now since Uv is in Rust we'll need a dependency manager manager manager for it on any OS that's not rolling to compile since what rustc is changes every 3 months and breaks forwards compatibility.

I'll check back in in 3 years (3x longer than Astral has so far existed) and see if Uv still exists and has become stable enough to use.
It might not prove to be that effective. I think common knowledge has been reinforced by hundreds of other sources that it's hard to pollute it. Specific, expert-level knowledge deriving from one's experience is more scarce and thus more valuable. If redditors run around faking that, then it could feed the models bad data. But might also reflect poorly on the author should reputation be at stake.
but i thought leetcode made sure you hire competent engineers?
I know this doesn't directly get at profitability, but your question had me thinking. From Uber's latest 10-Q [1], we know that their "gross bookings per trip" is ~$15/trip. If we use this as a benchmark, Waymo’s 100,000 fully autonomous rides per week would generate roughly $1.5 million per week or $78 million in ARR.

But it's a huge stretch to compare these apples-to-apples. It's just the closest thing I can think of to anchor to. The cost structures could be markedly different (since Waymo directly owns and operates its fleet, and bears direct costs for vehicle depreciation, maintenance, insurance, and the whole tech stack enabling autonomy). Right now those fixed and variable costs are likely higher than Uber's (which only take commission on rides while drivers bear the opex).

The assumption here is that you're modifying the hypervisor itself. No-one expects to be able to bolt a record-replay tool onto a third-party hypervisor.
How about Google and Apple teaming up, taking all the data they receive from Google Maps/Apple Maps telemetry, including the destination waypoints, using it to calculate globally optimal routing for every car on the road, and then making the cars execute it? Like, sure, this may sound like a central planning caricature but we do actually have enough computing power to pull it off in this case! It will be glorious! And pedestrians can be easily taken into account since they all carry small GPS/radio-trackers on them anyhow.

It’s a shame this country is so obsessed with cars. There’s so much land yet we devote it to destroying lush ecosystems (that help reduce effects of Mother Nature) and replacing it with massive highway projects that end up costing everyone more in taxes/indefinite maintenance costs.

Then the effect is 10X’d when useless suburbs are built. More car dependence. More time spent on roads. Traffic slows to a halt as suburbs fill up. Geniuses at the state transportation department believe we should just widen the roads. But continue to ignore decades of “induced demand” evidence.
