Give the poorest a discount for parking outside the congestion pricing area, and a discount for mass transit (if they haven't already applied for it).

The point of congestion pricing is to make the correct behavior also a better financial choice. Discounted transit ticket achieve the same goal.

> They might have just been showing that this is possible during an assessment. No harm no foul here imo

You're not supposed to leave public artifacts or test on public services during an assessment.

It's possible Cursor asked them to do so, but there's no public indication of this either. That's why I qualified my original comment. However, even if they did ask them to, it's typically not appropriate to use a separate unrelated public service (NPM) to perform the demo.

This was not a small thing to change. It was a minor thing, in itself. But the actual process of changing was huge, and took months of energy and pointless discussion from millions of people. I would guess the change could be counted in the millions of people hours.

I'm strongly in favor of progressive social change. But when even the smallest of change takes this much effort and leaves people frustrated and alienated, we should not be focusing this much effort on insignificant changes. It's like trickle down economics - hundreds of minor changes like this will not trickle down into large changes. Most likely the opposite - they'll alienate and infuriate enough people over time to cause a societal swing in the other direction.

If we're gonna put effort like this into bringing about change, let's make it meaningful, something that effects our daily lives now.
Is it a waste? You proved the change wasn't harmful.

The Accenture report this is based on looks like science fiction to me.

It talks about "trust" a LOT, which indicates they expect a robust solution to LLM security and reliability (see prompt injection) soon.

I do not share their optimism.
Not sure if NYC would do the same stunt, but London saw an amazing improvement in traffic flow after congestion charge was introduced. Turned out for several months prior to it they'd been slowly shifting the timing of lights to make things less optimal, and then reverted the day congestion charge went live.
Weird of you to compare thr ultra far right with left wing instead of the ultra left and assume that I'm the one arguing in bad faith. Who here did you see advocateing for a 'white national ethnostate"? You must be off your meds.

All you do is spin your own narrative to justify censorship of anything remotely right wing as being ultra right wing and crush free speech. That's why Trump won and Dems lost. This ignorance and self righteousness.
Thank you for letting me clarify my point with two examples of how these seemingly regressive policies ultimately help the poorer among us: 1. carbon taxes will improve poor air quality which currently impacts the poor more than the wealthy who can afford to live in cleaner areas. The poor will enjoy significant health benefits that far outweighs the small regressive tax they pay know. 2. A Congestion pricing stands to dramatically improve mass transit options like buses, which the working class rely on far more than the wealthy to get to work on time and will even expand the job options they have available to them.
You're describing the difference between being inwardly moral and being outwardly a bully.

When people use "woke" in a derogatory fashion they just mean "bully."

Which is why James Lindsay's "woke right" comes across as so incomprehensible. He just means "right wing bullies."
I'm sorry to hear your partner needs cancer treatment. But also, you can still use the roads.
This sounds exceedingly unintuitive. Users hate having settings change / appear and disappear. It sounds like it would make interfaces broadly unteachable and difficult to document.
I don't think I agree. I think the counterpoint of "woke" is "fascist" or "racist". People on the right call things woke and people on the left call things fascist. But I think the difference in the meaning of these words reveals a lot about who is saying them. For example, woke people are merely self-righteously moralistic but fascists are such a severe threat that we have to end things like free speech, etc. in order to prevent a constant threat to society. That might explain some of this divide.

To be fair, they were mostly right, since 93% continued to drive.

This is commute tax for the wealthy, and a time tax for lower income people. B39 only crosses the bridge, so there's waiting/transfer on both sides. Commute is generally 2-5x more time by public transport there, with all the stops.
Indeed, it is tiring to talk to these folks and simply not worth reiterating the same point over and over when they bring up wholly orthogonal topics to the point at hand. It seems like their other comment threads are similar in nature.
You are 100% correct. The conservatives disagreeing with you (and downvoting you) are either willfully ignorant about their own history of "political correctness" or else were under a rock (or perhaps weren't alive yet) during the heyday of McCarthyism and the still-ongoing legacy thereof.

Now, when the tables are turning and companies would rather appeal to the progressive-leaning majorities than the ever-shrinking conservative minority, all of a sudden conservatives are eager to pretend that they've been the champions of the First Amendment all along (never mind that the First Amendment never applied to private platforms/businesses choosing with whom to do business).

The Pew survey did not find that most people like "affirmative action":

> Among those who had ever heard the term, 36% said affirmative action is a good thing, 29% said it is a bad thing and a third weren’t sure.

It was a preceding Gallup poll that found the result you're thinking of:

> By comparison, Gallup has asked U.S. adults whether they “generally favor or oppose affirmative action programs for racial minorities.” In 2021, the last time Gallup asked this question, a 62% majority of Americans favored such programs.

The disconnect between this sort of response with the one you cited at the end of your comment just serves to underline my point about the public's lack of clear understanding of what "affirmative action" means (and they cannot be entirely blamed for this, since in the culture, it has come to mean different things).

Institutions like Harvard will (for the foreseeable future) always have vastly more fully qualified applications than they can accept. The concept of affirmative action was originally intended by its proponents to be used only when tie-breaking between equally qualified candidates. Harvard and the other Ivies have this situation in extremis. The idea was that when faced with the question "well, we have 26 people all fully qualified, how are to pick between them?" that using race was a legitimate choice as long as the racial demographics of the institution did not match those of the overall population. They have (for a while) used gender in a similar way, and arguably could use favorite ice cream flavor if they chose, because the candidates are all qualified to be selected.

There was never a suggestion that "affirmative action" meant selecting less qualified candidates because of their racial status. However, the conservative right has claimed that this is what affirmative action really means in the world, and this idea has been broadly picked up by the media and public at large. Whether there is actually any evidence that this has happened on a significant scale is not something I've seen adequately addressed. From what I have read, including the Harvard case, I'd say it was much more an unfounded grievance on the part of people who felt they had a right to be admitted or hired than what actually happens. I could be wrong.

I espouse precisely the opposite opinion: actively try to get Tintin in the Land of the Soviets and Tintin in the Congo, preferably the original/uncensored version of the latter. They’re hilarious. They weren’t supposed to be serious—it was humour. It was only from Tintin in America that he headed in the direction of being more serious (and yeah, it took about three more books to really settle).

Just as a couple of examples, one from each, which I believe are fairly representative of the tone (and probably my favourite bits in each):

• Car breaks down, so pull the engine apart completely, then realise it was a flat tyre, so punch a guy, chase him till he’s out of breath, then stick the valve in his mouth so he reinflates your tyre; then toss all the bits of the engine back in, throw away the few bits that don’t fit, drive off, and remark about how reliable these cars are.

• When hunting a rhinoceros and bullets don’t work, drill a hole in its hide (somehow unnoticed), put in some dynamite, light the fuse, hide behind a tree, explosion, rhinoceros obliterated, and say (loose translation) “oops, guess I used too much dynamite”.

The latter incident was removed from the 1975 edition of Tintin in the Congo by Hergé (45 years after initial publication), and by then he said he regretted its big game hunting stuff (understandable; that and the race issues certainly haven’t aged well!). But really, it was never supposed to be taken seriously, it was a fun and gloriously unrealistic story. Instead of getting upset, I wish people would just enjoy its absurdity, as I think was originally intended.

But definitely don’t treat those two as containing the same Tintin as in later books. They feature his slapstick humour twin brother.

Just like this comment indulging in misinformation, citing fraudulent websites with false statistics
You’ve got my attention now. I’ve been treading a similar path myself…what if the bigger picture involved a component that was indifferent (or fundamentally inverse) to intelligence?

Do you keep up with current events? Is there much to say in support of the intellect of the general public and is it worthwhile to technologically equip the ignorant with simulated rations of reason?

Why is it that those deemed to possess cognitive faculties of abberance seem to be the deepest thinkers & possess a greater capacity for zeal and determination than those we are supposed to believe possess more “normal” minds (as in their intellect and their conduct is deemed desirable)?

Is this a case you’re willing to confront? Or am I begging you to question.

These are rightwing talking points with little relationship to the facts. Under the Trudeau government Canada has produced record amounts of oil and gas. Canada is one of the top four oil producers in the world. [1]

Canada has problems but a reluctance to exploit its natural resources is not one of them. In fact, the extent to which oil and gas production has ravaged swathes of the country is a disgrace.

> The idea when plainly stated is deeply unpopular

When stated by opponents seeking to strawman it, certainly.

But:

"when faced with multiple equally qualified candidates for a position, it is permissble and perhaps even desirable to use demographic factors such as race or gender to select among them"

generally doesn't get much opposition. It's not absolutely impossible that this is a steelman version of affirmative action, but it's also the one I grew up hearing from the actual proponents of the concept.
I believe it came about during the "Windows must run on tablets" era. They needed a way for WiFi to stay on during sleep so things like notifications would continue to work. It also enabled media players to continue playing audio in sleep mode, similar to iOS and Android.
Now imagine that is what you mostly hear "straight cis white men" are "selfish cruel hypocrites" over and over again.
I've always taken this story with a pinch of salt. The timeline is that the guy "had some bitcoin", then lost interest, then the hard drive was thrown away, and then sometime later saw the price and thought he should go looking for it.

Did he actually have as much as he recalled years later? Did he not sell or transfer it for the little it was worth, and forget about that years later? Was the wallet encrypted with a password he won't remember? Did the hard drive get destroyed in the process of being thrown out? Did the data get wiped? Did it even go to this landfill?

There are a great many ways in which this could result with zero bitcoin, even if they find the drive. I'm not surprised the council disallowed it. A 1% chance of £100m is only worth £1m, and it would be a costly endeavour to support.
I once worked with a company that provided IM services to hyper competitive, testosterone poisoned options traders. On the first fine trading day of a January new year, our IM provider rolled out an incompatible "upgrade" to some DLL that we (our software, hence our customers) relied on, that broke our service. Our customers, ahem, let their displeasure be known.

Another developer and I were tasked with fixing it. The Customer Service manager (although one of the most conniving political-destructive assholes I have ever not-quite worked with), actually carried a crap umbrella. Instead of constantly flaming us with how many millions of dollars our outage was costing every minute, he held up that umbrella and diverted the crap. His forbearance let us focus. He discretely approached every 20 minutes, toes not quite into entering office, calmly inquiring how it was going. In just over an hour (between his visits 3 and 4), Nate and I had the diagnosis, the fix, and had rolled it out to production, to the relief of pension funds worldwide.

As much as I dislike the memory of that manager to this day, I praise his wisdom every chance I get.
You’re not incorrect per se, but it’s important to note that deliveries into downtown would be important for it to be a thriving destination for shopping, residential or business. Not to mention space for heavy equipment to come in to do repairs and construction. Minimal maintenance corridors may not be enough.

You also need public transit options into it as well as transportation solutions for “out of towners” who descend onto downtown for some event (eg public parking lots outside the city that has public transit to the event).

It can be an easier and more politically popular idea to just use streets to solve this problem at the individual level even if less efficient rather than requiring efficient central management planning by the government.

And just to be clear, I’m a fan of the changes SF is making, just highlighting some of the challenges, not to mention that SF isn’t going quite so far as to rip up existing streets with the exception of the latest vote where the entire city basically voted against the will of the outer sunset to convert the highway to a park and not just closed on the weekends as it’s been since COVID (increasing maintenance costs due to erosion are another huge reason it’s a good idea).

You also need to account for the odds that the hard drive even contained the claimed BTC, and that it remains recoverable, even if found.

If you could somehow guarantee that there is a hard drive with a recoverable $765M on it in that landfill, that would be a very different scenario.

Show HN: Panopticon AI – Open-source platform for military AI research
Hi HN,

I’m sharing a project I’ve been working on: Panopticon AI, an open-source platform designed for researchers in military modeling and simulations. It’s web-based, integrates with OpenAI Gym, and is intended to support advancements in military AI through realistic simulations, wargaming, and reinforcement learning.

The project is still under active development, and I’m looking for contributors to help shape its direction. It’s released under the Apache 2.0 license, so anyone can use, modify, or contribute to it.

What Panopticon AI Offers:
- A simulation environment that is browser-based for creating and editing scenarios.
- Runs on Python to support training agents.
- Utilizes Stable Baselines for reinforcement learning.
- Basic data included, with a focus on Air Force scenarios.

Why I Built This:
There’s a lack of open-source tools tailored for military AI research, and many existing solutions are proprietary or inaccessible. My goal is to lower the barrier for academics, researchers, and smaller organizations to explore this space and innovate.

How You Can Help:
- Try out the platform and share your feedback or ideas for improvement.
- Contribute to the codebase or documentation on GitHub.
- Suggest or help implement new features and use cases.

If this aligns with your interests, check out the links above or comment below. I’d love to hear your thoughts and see how we can make this project even better together!
