In the absence of pricing, people who do not want to wait cannot opt out of traffic, so the rebuttal here seems imperfect.
There is only one singular goal written into the enabling law for this Congestion Tax, renenue for the NYC MTA transit system's capital plan. They have to raise one billion dollars per year. Any reducing congestion or any altering of pollution were only part of getting Federal approval. Now the only purpose is to raise money with 5 years of hikes already scheduled. This is going to uave drastic unintended consequences. I predict a theatre and retail recession. And more office divestment if this regressive tax isn't repealed or forced to focus on emissions or some non revenue goal.
If the water PH changes, the value in replacing those pipes might become more apparent.

Trudeau should have resigned after getting a second minority government. I mean, actually he should not have run that election at all. But in general in our history, failure to get a majority can be forgiven once... but twice? The knives come out.

I'm amazed at the dominance he has over his party that has made it possible for him still to be hanging on. Even his resignation is slow motion.

Your numbers can be true but it is also true that those “biggest lockdowns in human history” didn’t do anything to change those numbers, nor were they ethical or moral. Humans can’t stop a respiratory virus like that—it was wishful thinking at best and peak human arrogance at worst.

And even if they could probably do something significant, that doesn’t mean humans have the right to do so. Those lockdowns and mandates were incredibly destructive to our communities, our children, our elders, and ourselves. They violated our inalienable human rights. They transferred immense wealth from the poor to the rich. And they didn’t do a single fucking thing but take a bad problem and make it exponentially worse.

Many things can be true at once.

Would the Phoenix, AZ, water plan be the "Water Resource Plan", or something else?

That might be the case in other cities, but in NYC the socioeconomic dynamics are less clear. It’s mostly affluent-to-rich suburbanites that drive to work from outside the city, with rich and poor city residents primarily taking public transit (and to a lesser extent using taxis and car services). Almost no city residents - rich, poor or in between - drive to and from a 9-5 job in Manhattan.
Fully agree, @peeters - as I've mentioned elsewhere in these comments, there's a long-standing trend of trying to identify the one true cause of the fall of the Roman Empire. Each explanation falls short - it's just a complicated thing (and heck, the empire didn't really fall, it just shifted east.)

A successful technical writer is someone who can transform complex technical information into clear, user-friendly documentation that solves real problems. With the rise of AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Bard, many technical writers are wondering about their future in the industry.

To understand the real impact of AI on technical writing, you need to understand three key things:

What AI can and cannot do in technical writing
How to use AI effectively in your workflow
Where human expertise remains irreplaceable
This article will show you the current state of AI in technical writing and how to position yourself for success in this changing landscape.

Raster is believe it or not, not quite the bottleneck. Raster speed definitely _matters_, but it's pretty fast even in software, and the bigger bottleneck is just overall complexity. Nanite is a big pipeline with a lot of different passes, which means lots of dispatches and memory accesses. Same with material shading/resolve after the visbuffer is rendered.

EDIT: The _other_ huge issue with Nanite is overdraw with thin/aggregate geo that 2pass occlusion culling fails to handle well. That's why trees and such perform poorly in Nanite (compared to how good Nanite is for solid opaque geo). There's exciting recent research in this area though! https://mangosister.github.io/scene_agn_site.

So it begins - CES 2025 started and Garmin released the HRM 200 which operates by default in open mode, but one can switch to a secured pair mode over Bluetooth. see https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2025/01/garmin-hrm-depth-review....

Another tweak to the Garmin HRM design is conforming to laws in Australia and USA for requiring a tool to access coin cell battery compartments. But the required tool is built into the HRM strap.

I think the "parallel" in this hashmap comes from the use of SIMD instructions for probing. I guess that's clever and legitimate. There is a mention of thread safety in the readme, but nothing about the hashmap itself using multicore parallelism, which doesn't make much sense anyway.

Nice try playing dumb. You mean THEIR religious intolerance? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostasy_in_Islam_by_country (death penality, jail time, etc...)

They'll kill or imprison you if you go to their country to change them out of their religion (because they're self preserving) but if I as a European simple say "no I don't want to change the religious demographics of my European country" or "I don't want illegal immigration" or "I don't want to take in refugees that will change the demographics of my country" I get people like you claiming I'm intolerant. If you're so tolerant then tell us all where you're from? And how many muslims your country has taken in.

It works well in NYC because it's hard to justify driving anyway. The transit system is just so extensive.

But somewhere like Atlanta, Dallas, etc.? Absolutely not. It's just a vice tax levied on poor people who are already not happy about having to commute long drives into the city center to find work. They have no alternative. They can't spend 3 hours each way on buses. They can't afford to live in the the handful of walkable blocks in the city with $3k+ rent that effectively serve as a little Disneyland for affluent residents who want to larp like they live in Brooklyn.

Build the public transit BEFORE you hit the poors with a giant stick. Because I guarantee you that hitting them with that stick is not going to effect change in any way, as these people have next to no influence on policymakers already.

Even without LLMs, at least with statically type languages like C#, ReSharper can do solution wide refactoring that are guaranteed correct as long as you don’t use reflection.

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/resharper/Refactorings__Index...

I don’t see any reason it couldn’t do more aggressive refactors with LLMs and either correct itself or don’t do the refactor if it fails static code checking. Visual Studio can already do real time type checking for compile time errors
I disagree about search. While LLM can give you an answer faster, good doc (eg. MDN article in CSS example) will :

- be way more reliable

- probably be up to date on how you should solve it in latest/recommend approach

- put you in a place where you can search for adjecent tech

LLM with search has potential but I'd like if current tools are more oriented on source material rather than AI paraphrasing.

I took part in one political protest in my life. The leaders spent most of their efforts screaming at us “stay out of the road and don’t block the sidewalk!”

We were encouraged to bring our kids, and criticized by the opposition for doing so. Our kids had a great time and learned the value political participation.

The protest was 100% successful at it achieving its one, narrow aim.
Resonant Inductive Coupling
They are saying that the lab leak scenario is extremely unlikely, yes.

People have had lengthy moderated debates on this, with independant judges and $100K USD or personal money on the line .. and even when setup by confident pro lab leak debaters they've still failed to carry the argument as likely or probable - it's still possible but unlikely.
This seems surprisingly cheap for what you get! Excited to see what people cook with this

The definition of "ad" depends on context though (that's the point).
The 4090 already seemed positioned as a card for consumer AI enthusiast workloads. But this $1000 price gap between the 5080 and 5090 seems to finally cement that. Though we're probably still going to see tons of tech YouTubers making videos specifically about how the 5090 isn't a good value for gaming as if it even matters. The people who want to spend $2000 on a GPU for gaming don't care about the value and everyone else already could see it wasn't worth it.

I think it's less of a distinctly populist thing and more of a "convert's zeal". I have seen this type of language used with a lot of different technologies over the years when there's a lot of hype and momentum around them.

Ultimately there's just a lot of tradeoffs to make in this space and I'm glad that we have more options now. For awhile it seemed like you were either doing SPAs or everyone thought you were doing it "wrong", but things like HTMX, LiveView, Livewire, and Hotwire make it much easier to build good backend driven web apps.

Inertia.js 2.0 is a really compelling middle ground as well & IMO is the best thing to come out of Laravel. You can get most of the benefits of a JS "metaframework", but you have adapters for many different backend and frontend frameworks.
Canada is much much more geographicly concentrated than the US.

Toronto is definitely cheaper than NYC. However Toronto represents a WAYYYY higher percentage of Canadians than NY does.

Rough numbers.

GTA population ~7 million

NYC population ~8.5 million

By representation GTA represents 10x the amount of the country that NYC does.

Major cities being unaffordable in Canada pretty much means Canada is unaffordable.

The same case is not true in the US

Depends on the circumstance, and how difficult an appropriate algorithm is to write, but in my experience, if code performance is important, this tends to yield large, painful rewrites down the road.
For gaming I'm also looking forward to the improved AI workload sharing mentioned, where, IIUC, AI and graphics workloads could operate at the same time.

It's a good question. I'll note that, even in the GPGPU days (eg BrookGPU), they were architecturally designed for graphics applications (eg shaders). The graphics hardware was being re-purposed to do something else. It was quite a stretch to do the other things compared to massively-parallel, general-purpose designs. They started adding more functionality to them, like physics. Now, tensors.

While they've come a long way, I'd imagine they're still highly specialized compared to general-purpose hardware and maybe still graphics-oriented in many ways. One could test this by comparing them to SGI-style NUMA machines, Tilera's tile-based systems, or Adapteva's 1024-core design. Maybe Ambric given it aimed for generality but Am2045's were DSP-style. They might still be GPU's if they still looked more like GPU's side by side with such architectures.
Yeah, compiler bugs happen.
This is somewhat similar to what GeForce was to gamers back in the days, but for AI enthusiasts. Sure, the price is much higher, but at least it's a completely integrated solution.
> I feel completely starved of information here. I care about accessibility. I want to build a web page where clicking on a tab refreshes a subset of that page... and I still can't find a really good guide on how to do that in a way that works in screen readers

More generally, I often see people calling others "lazy" for not making websites accessible, but I personally found it hard to get my head around the WCAG recommendations, and I work with designers/developers all the time that don't know how to follow the WCAG recommendations even when you point them to documents and tutorials.

It's like nobody wants to admit it's difficult, and that's not even getting into screen readers still having many inconsistencies for basic UI patterns.

There are some sites that try to document what works and doesn't in different screen readers (e.g. https://a11ysupport.io/tests/), but even then it's still not easy knowing what to do and I don't know of an authoritative up-to-date site.
It costs the equivalent of 2 years of cloud GPU H100s at current prices.

Edit: Sorry fucked up my math. I wanted to do 40x52x4, $4/hr being the cloud compute price but that us actually $8300, so it is actually equivalent to about 4.5 months of cloud compute. 40 hours because I presume that this will only be used for prototyping and debugging, i.e during office hours.
One mode I felt was missed was "thought partner", especially while debugging (aka rubber ducking).

We had an issue recently with a task queue seemingly randomly stalling. We were able to arrive at the root cause much more quickly than we would have because of a back-and-forth brainstorming session with Claude, which involved describing the issue we were seeing, pasting in code from library to ask questions, asking it to write some code to add some missing telemetry, and then probing it for ideas on what might be going wrong. An issue that may have taken days to debug took about an hour to identify.

Think of it as rubber ducking with a very strong generalist engineer who knows about basically any technical concepts.
The median income of a household with a car in the city is more than double that of households without cars [1].

I think what you're describing is basically "interface driven development" and "test driven development" taken to the extreme: where the formal specification of an implementation is defined by the test suite. I suppose a cynic would say that's what you get if you left an AI alone in a room with Hyrum's Law.
That's a lot of words to describe a very simple syntax: name=value pairs, with line continuation using whitespace.

Basically RFC822 email headers, or Debian Control File Format [0] but with "=" instead of ":", and without dedicated comment character.

The biggest problem with this format is that a lot of things are left for the app, so each app will have its own way to implement lists, bools, line wrap support.. Even something like "value override" is left to program implementation. Don't expect YAML/JSON/XML-style automated validators/linters, each program will need its own bespoke parser/generator.

Bigger in the sense of the announcements.
yup, seems sensible because we have been getting gouged to death with high prices for a minute. Being that 4090's are going for $2000. I suspect we are going to see 5090's easily settle at $3000. The demand from the AI space is intense.
I likr this approach. Read the docs, figure out what you want, get LLM to do the grunt work with all relevant context and review.
