Most of those video reviews exist for the ad revenue first and foremost, and it shows. Aise from superior UI, thats why we prefer text in general.
Taxis today are already far far larger than they need to be for two people.

Logistically you need the flexibility of having more seats available. If you’re in a rural area and need to transport a family are you going to send 4 vehicles separately?

Ironically it’s probably urban areas where single occupancy vehicles make the most sense, given that there’s always going to be sufficient demand to allow for more specialization in vehicles for different use cases.
Actually, if it has true support for async and better graphics, the UI can be modified so it is "perceived" to have better speed.
In the current Emacs, some actions are slowe and we know it has nothing to do with Emacs as they depends on external processes. But it makes entire Emacs hang, and it's terrible from user perspective. If there is a way to make those operations running async, with some nice text messages/graphics to indicate the status, it would be much better.
It is similar to the story about installing mirrors inside elevators and made people feel waiting time is much shorter, while travelling time was actually the same.
A Simple and Intuitive Chmod Calculatorod.one
Hi HN!

I built chmod.one, a super simple chmod calculator to help you generate permissions for files and directories quickly and intuitively. Just toggle checkboxes, and it gives you the numeric (e.g., 755) and symbolic (e.g., rwxr-xr-x) representations instantly.

No distractions, no ads, just chmod. Perfect for beginners or anyone who needs a quick reference.

Would love to hear your feedback and suggestions!
Ending OCSP Support in 2025
Having lived in most of those cities and in Miami I can say Miami is definitely the most dangerous driving I've seen. And my car insurance company certainly seems to agree.
Bobiverse books are full length. And highly enjoyable, but short "chapters".

Murderbot is on kindle unlimited (except for the newest), but yeah $15 for a novella starts adding up quickly.

Bobiverse is also on kindle unlimited, except for the newest book which is only on audible for now.
I feel like at this point someone needs to take a step back and think about the general vision and overall goals of this whole fully automated ride-hailing service thing.

I mean, what is the exact problem that's being solved here? I don't mean "problem" like "solving the technical problem of making a car move autonomously in a chaotic city" sense. I mean what is the need that's being addressed here, exactly?

Ride-hailing workers were already often working for less than minimum wage. They were also handling most of the maintenance and customer relations aspects of the work, for basically free. Are these sexy cutting edge tech firms with eye-watering budgets and even more eye-watering valuations really going after whatever these people were making?

If the problem is efficiently moving people around in a city; well to be honest I find this premise a bit ridiculous. Call me a European, but I find the idea that moving 1-2 people in private vehicles on roads being superior than public transit -preferably on rail- simply absurd.

Is the idea of living and moving around in a city full of autonomous vehicles actually appealing to anyone? I personally find the whole idea completely disgusting for a number of reasons.

What is the goal here? Am I missing a grand vision? What is there to get excited for? Sorry if this post has been a rant-y one. I feel like I am really missing the point of most of these things.
That's like saying the government is the biggest source of instability since they are sole entity performing the most violence.

Saying the US is preventing other countries from rising in the same thread where people are complaining about US industrial decline is paradoxical, it's precisely those industries were given to developing countries to foster their rise, what the neoliberals underestimated was how that convergence would lead to resurgence of palingentic ultranationalism that is why the world is so unstable today.

I would not. I would want something that proves their pictures were recent and not tampered with assuming that was even possible.
I guess that is the question. If the police are confident that they will have a warrant in 30 minutes, can they have a locksmith unlock the door while they wait?
Imagine if instead Miami built MetroRail extensions to the beach and everywhere else it should go, increased TriRail frequency and express services, built a real network of fully segregated greenways etc etc. It would turn transport nightmare into transport heaven. We don't need more cars on the streets of Miami or the I95...

You can't send a packet addressed to i.e. 192.168.1.2 oder the Internet, sure. But that wasn't what we were talking about either. You can connect to the device that's behind a nat and has that ip address. I've linked to one of the best known strategies for that, hole punching.

Sorry but dependencies are choices. Rewriting on a new stack with less dependencies is just choosing less dependencies. People seem to believe that using React requires using all the other shiny libraries. Right sizing your implementation to your needs is important. But it’s not Reacts fault, it’s the false impression that you can accrete things without cost.
The same thing happened to me with one of the domains I use for T.LY URL Shortener, twtr.to. It was disabled without any prior warning, and I only found out when it suddenly stopped working. I contacted the registrar, and I’m currently waiting to hear back from them. It’s frustrating how a single decision like this can disrupt an entire business operation without notice or explanation.
We already have single occupant vehicles that are low cost and fun to use: bicycles and e-bikes. They are very popular in areas where safe infrastructure is available.
The author probably didn’t come up with the headline, the editor did. It’s one thing if the Office of Legislative Counsel tries and fails to come up with a succinct one liner, it’s another when an editor driven entirely by clickbait economic incentives does it. The latter rarely even try to be accurate.

If you pay someone to clean their room or watch their kids, that becomes part of GDP, whereas if they simply do it out of love or social obligation, that isnt part of GDP.

Savings isn't part of GDP.
Subject didn't change, you just don't seem to understand the scope of your own question as there are many facets.

I will try and answer it from my perspective of my own secular country which is difficult as we don't do that sort of thing.

1. In terms of murder, we would prosecute the murderer as life is precious.

2. In terms of preventing the same actions from happening again, there was uproar when shootings did happen here so we restricted gun ownership.

The issue you have here is that it isn't just a widely hated company. It is a company that is probably related to 10-20k preventable deaths a year.

This isn't being viewed through the scope of the assassination of a widely hated company CEO so your question is wrong which is the reason you don't get it. This is a man that presided over the deaths of many people for the seeking of profit. He was CEO for 3 years and the discussion shows that he was well aware of the damage he was causing society.

Your morally bankrupt Christians haven't been calling for universal health coverage.

How would a Christian society handle the murder of a man who knowingly took the money of 60k people and then proceeded to kill them?

Zen of Batch Pipelines – A recipe to reduce cognitive load
Based on just reading the index (chapters with titles like "Masks did more harm than good", "Biden administration did illegal unconstitutional...", is it safe to assume that this report was written by Republican politicians with minimal input from others? Just doing a control-f, it seems weird that Biden is discussed so much more than Trump despite not being in office until a whole year after COVID arrived in the US
If it's too dangerous for humans to drive (regardless of whether they do anyway, humans do all manner of things which are unacceptably dangerous) then I don't expect Waymo to offer service even if they believe they technically could have the Waymo driver [their software] continue to deliver service.
Both of kinds of language describe the same reality? The first sounds aspirational, and the second acknowledges where power lies. Maybe you would feel less alienated if you put effort into organizing to raise the minimum wage, for example.

The stupid thing is that, for example, ChromeOS is genuinely technically very impressive. Wayland over virtio to securely expose GUIs from untrusted virtual machines is brilliant technology. I want that, reimplemented by someone who cares about an open source ecosystem.

The Birth of Netflix: A Journey with Marc Randolph

As Netflix began to grow, they caught the attention of Amazon, which at the time was expanding beyond books into music and movies. Jeff Bezos invited Marc and Reed to discuss a potential acquisition.

"We flew up to Amazon and were ushered into this building... In comes Jeff Bezos, and we begin to have this conversation about what is Netflix and what's it all about."

Jeff offered to buy Netflix for a figure in the low eight figures.

"He said, 'I just want to set your expectation that in the event we decide to do something, our offer is probably going to be in the low eight figures.' And we guessed that was probably going to be $15 to $30 million."

Despite the tempting offer, Marc and Reed believed in Netflix's potential and decided not to sell.

"At the same time, we felt we had already solved the big problems... We weren't quite ready to let Jeff Bezos take over."
The number of trips increased 10x from Sep 2023 to August 2024.

>The intuition that we should globoindustrially produce man-made materials and dispose of novel waste materials in our water supplies until proven toxic and cancerous is a mistake, and we should be coming at the question from the other side, assume naturally occurring materials are less harmful than man-made ones until we have evidence indicating otherwise.

>"we've checked and everything is all groovy man nothing wrong in this asbestos here!"

Asbestos being used as an example of a "globoindustrially man-made materials" and how we should "assume naturally occurring materials are less harmful" is absolutely great considering that asbestos is a naturally occurring material that has been in use since the Stone Age. Quite literally the opposite of the line of reasoning.

Sam Altman sure hopes someone figures out how not to destroy humanity
The market has grown a lot, but lower barriers to entry for developers have also attracted a lot more people who are making games. Now the market is more than saturated. It is hard to even keep track of everything that is newly being released. Making AAAs on huge budgets is no longer a guaranteed ROI, and neither is making critically acclaimed indie games, and everything in between is probably suffering even more.

The market just seems due for a correction, and it's not like this hasn't happened before. The only question is how bad it will get before it stabilises.
(2) is interesting, but I'm not sure if resistance heaters will remain common in the long term, as heat pumps become more widely available?

Also this seems like a sort of free-electricity scenario (mining with electricity that was going to be used anyway), but I'm not sure free electricity would reduce mining costs? Wouldn't hardness adjust so that it then becomes all about hardware CapEx (assuming amortized CapEx remains significant)?

I figure mining costs are around 1% of the market cap, and can't go that much lower without serious security risks. So the ecosystem needs to fund that in some way, whether it's through inflation, fees, or donations.

With fees, I also worry they'll be too unpredictable. Like there might be enough demand to justify $20B/year in fees, but it's a function of supply as well, and if scaling solutions like Lightning Network work "too well" (with people rarely needing to settle on-chain) we might end up with way lower fees.
A16Z 2025 Big Ideas for Crypto
Gocha games are an example of "games gamers actually want". You don't need to ask people define what they want, you need to see what's selling and just do that, because sales and profits are something you CAN measure.

But I doubt the DEI departments at Sony, EA, Ubisoft and Microsoft will ever let them release games with waifus and jiggle physics, so they'll have to keep saying no to free money on the table just to die on that hill.

Edit: The gocha waifu anecdote was an example to prove a point, I'm not advocating that that's the only way to make money and that everyone should start making that. There's other successful examples besides gocha.
A decent percentage of what "gamers actually want" is literally too cringe to develop.
I can't say examples like this sell me on Rust, coming from C++. I need to manually to_string(), every single time I want to use strings?

And that bizarre scoping of Person p feels very un-intuitive. How would you work around that if you need to keep using it after show()? (Which is an extremely common use case)
Did the sun rise? Then, yes, today I will be working on maintaining or improving out-of-date software because it currently works. I've got better things to work on and eventually one of them will be a replace program for this outdated legacy code I cannot wait to stop supporting. I like it though, keeps me on my toes and familiar with the old stuff as we build the new.
It’s shaping up to look that way.
I agree. We need more Zelda and Stardew Valley and Portal and less Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.
And yet I regularly get stuck behind a Waymo in SF when there's just a little bit of fog.
I don't respect it because it was not an overt message being campaigned on, but rather the same 4d chess contortionism of people pulling out their own wishful signal from the noise of a double-talking con artist.

Furthermore even taking that argument at face value, it takes for granted how much we still do enjoy - even people on the shit rungs of society. The US military and world alliances making it so that we don't have to worry about military invasions, USD as the reserve currency making it so what we consider high price inflation is actually quite tame, bureaucratic authoritarianism keeping corporate authoritarianism from completely taking over, federal law enforcement keeping armed gangs in check. The economic meat grinder wealth/hope extraction machine is abjectly terrible, but also things can be so much worse.
Sovereign citizenry and misquoting admiralty law in your hearing about driving without valid registration or saying the court doesn't have jurisdiction because the flag has gold fringe on it is so close to mental illness it's hard to assign concepts like "smart" or "dumb" to it.
I guess you can by the number of units sold on certain games. GTA 6 looks to be a blockbuster once it's released.
Games that gamers want and games that bring in the most money by milking gamers are not the same thing. And publishers will always care about the money first and foremost.
Actually it can be more profitable than you might think. It turns out the resources that Putin's forces are sitting on are both quite valuable and strategically significant:

Though the war was launched primarily for ideological reasons, it's safe to assume that the plunder aspect factored into whatever deranged cost-benefit analysis he made at the time.
>Complexity is bad.

unneeded complexity is bad. But making simplicity out of a complex problem takes more time and talent than most people have (if it's possible at all for that problem space to begin with).

C++ and Rust are designed around dealing with complex problems. Specifically in this case where memory management is of utmost importance. Understand the problem you're trying to solve before dismissing a tool as "too complex". If you don't have that problem, wonderful. More time to focus on the problems you actually need to solve instead of complaining about other problems.
Wow that's a beautiful machine.
Is it really a "want" if it's an addiction?
Wow, that sounds great: just have every customer who interacts with your LLM come back to the site in 2 days to get the real answer to their question. How can I invest?
That follows your system setting for the back gesture (mouse clicks immediately go back). If you use "Swipe Left or Right with Two Fingers" for the "Swipe between pages" setting, there is no animation. If you don't use a Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad I don't think you'd see it at all.
I don't really care a lot about any of those. I'm a lot more interested in relationships with people, the state of the environment, and general happiness. A better cell phone has never made more than the most marginal difference in my happiness.
I love this game!

Like others, this morning is rough! Had a late night testing metal deposition machine software. (Tjat went well except for me bumping an e-stop, which killed a test I will be running again tomorrow. Just great!

Any hoo, I was grumpy looking for something to get my brain working and bump into a great game chock full of charm.

Others have expressed my feedback very well. What enemy is thinking is a nice touch! And the art!

Reminds me of both old Internet, filled with fun works like this

Goofy games my peers and I would exchange at school! Mostly we used BASIC, sometimes LOGO.

This is why “fit for purpose” is such a useful idea.

Because it gives you two ends from which to approach the business challenge. You can improve the fitness—the functionality itself. But you can also adjust the purpose—what people expect it to do.

I think a lot of the concerns about LLMs come down to unrealistic expectations: oracles, Google killers, etc.

Google has problems finding and surfacing good info. LLMs are way better at that… but they err in the opposite direction. They are great at surfacing fake info too! So they need to be thought of (marketed) in a different way.

Their promise needs to be better aligned with how the technology actually works. Which is why it’s helpful to emphasize that “hallucinations” are a fundamental attribute, not an easily fixed mistake.
As I see it, the biggest goal is safety - self-driving cars seem to reduce accidents per distance driven by at least one order of magnitude.

Nothing brings home quite how much money there was to be made in the music industry in the '80s as seeing the top bands' keyboard rigs. In the video for "The Reflex", Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes is surrounded by a Fairlight CMI, a Jupiter-8 and a Prophet-5. Adjusting for inflation, that's about $250,000 worth of equipment.

Yeah, I knew where this was going but did stick around long enough to confirm it.

I installed Office '97 so I could reproduce workflows used by our data team (ancient Access apps) Amazingly it still works in Windows 11, Clippy and all, even the attempts it make to the take over the desktop almost work.
It's a problem in the US as well. New cars are basically too expensive for most people to afford.
is it?

Is that with or without interest on holding the USD?
I mean it's pretty straightforward, hard shift in the opposite direction of what HR wants/is demanding. Don't add microtransactions, make it compelling in game and out of game, aka things like guilds in WoW where there's a meta human interaction element overlaid on top.
This costs money, requires some agreement signing and can "dox" developers, so not everyone wants a cert.

I can't speak to all LLMs, but OpenAI has a built-in python interpreter. Assuming it recognizes the problem as "tokenization counting", it doesn't need a dedicated tool.

Had to look up that reference to Sweet Baby.
