OP's math doesn't account for the fact that a small fraction of trips into the city are personal vehicles, and many more are cabs/rideshare cars (which pay differently) and trucks making deliveries (which may be exempt).

In any case, there is also going to be widespread toll fraud here just like with every other toll in NYC.

Anyone know where this happened? The article says "near Yuba pass" but Yuba Pass is on the 49, far north of Donner Pass and not on the RR line. It also mentions the rescue train from Reno got stuck at Soda Springs, which _is_ on the RR line and west of Donner Pass.

EDIT: Seems to be more detail (and better pictures) here:

I had the Retina, which went up to Catalina (which is the last major OS mine had), but it also got security patches up until 2022. I upgraded to the M1 MBP when they were released, but last I tried, my old MBP still booted up.

Ah, yeah, I do recall the horror stories about the butterfly keyboard ones. Sorry to hear it. I was able to skip that entire generation because mine ran like a champ.

> Personal anecdotes aside, I don't think it's too disputable that Mac has never taken backwards compatibility or computer longevity anywhere as seriously as Windows or Linux have.

I think this is probably true. Unfortunately, the reason I moved to MacBook's in the first place was because I had a terrible run of Windows PCs & laptops. I think I had 4 or so between 2002 and 2012, but only 1 between 2012 and 2021. I suppose that's why I'm partial to Macs.

HEOS-capable gear from Marantz and Denon cover a lot of the applications you referenced.

I’m not sure how to apply this here. What does optimizing for regular daily use and not black swan events look like when it comes to fire and ambulance services? It seems to me that black swans are a major purpose for them. That’s why the local fire station tends to have a lot of time where the firefighters are sitting around, and why simple calls often get 3x more response than they need. The services are greatly overprovisioned for daily needs because they also exist for the times when an entire apartment building burns down, or some maniac bombs the subway.

Look, when you do business in a country, you obey that countries law. If you think the law is backwards and incompatible with your business, you don’t operate there, this is what google, fb did. They CHOOSE to not operate in china because they are not able to meet the requirements.

TikTok has met all requirements to operate based on the us law. It still got banned.

That’s a big difference. If data security is a concern the country should have rules regulate how foreign companies handle its citizens data, and it should apply to all companies.

Hmmmm, kinda? AFAIK usually an investment tax is on gains, so "you must pay X% when purchasing an the capital" tax seems pretty unusual, or perhaps it exists under some other term. It's not quite a usual sumptuary tax either...

I'm assuming it's more about ownership than usage, since it doesn't hit local landlords, and there are already visa/immigration systems if it were a matter of people-movement.

I think this policy is only feasible in cities with decent public transportation. I’d struggle to list any more than 1-2 other American cities where this could be done though.

A lot of cities that do have public transportation seem to have extremely frustrating (i.e. multiple transfers) gaps if you aren’t using the system to-and-from work.

I don't like the false dilemma of "either a directed-energy weapon, or mass hysteria".

I think we should at least consider hydrogen cyanide, especially given that a known adversary (Iran / IRGC) has claimed that Mahsa Amini killed herself with cyanide, whereas the video imagery show 2 government employees simultaneously turning their back before she faints and starts collapsing, indicating prior knowledge of what would happen. They also like to take a step or 2 away of any diluting plume they seem to know to be poisonous (presumably hydrogen cyanide).

It looks like either dosage testing, or training for possibly foreign operations.

I don’t know what you mean by the “official” definition of “feminist”. There’s no single authority that decides what an English word means or how it should be used like there is for French (which has the Académie Française).

Perhaps you mean to say the “original” meaning of the word, but language is not static. Meanings change over time and vary from place to place.

I’m not trying to be pedant. Reasonable people can disagree on what being a feminist means, it doesn’t mean one side is automatically correct or another side is cynically acting in bad faith.
Graham doesn't mention Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority by name, but he does explicitly compare wokeness to religion:

> Previous generations of prigs had been prigs mostly about religion and sex.

> Is there a simple, principled way to deal with wokeness? I think there is: to use the customs we already have for dealing with religion. Wokeness is effectively a religion, just with God replaced by protected classes.

I think it's abundantly clear that he does not condone priggishness whether it's coming from the right or the left.

> and not bring up (at a minimum) Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority suggests you shouldn't be writing about it.

I think it's fine to point out that there are parallels on the right. But I don't think it is constructive to say that he is not entitled to write about a topic just because he doesn't explicitly mention something that you think is important.

Nice strawmen, but I've never done or been involved in any of those things and I don't, personally, consider them progressive. I'm more inclined to think of changes like
improved rights to self expression (as trans, gay, or pretty much anything else that doesn't too badly infringe on other people), social safety for poor people, more equitable sharing of generation wealth, especially related to land ownership, better care for the environment, better access to healthcare, education, and housing for all people, considering other species as sentient and according them the same rights as humans, and not viewing corporations as human as socially progressive issues.

I also recognize that in all of these things, balance and nuance are required and conflicts are common and won't always be resolved in a way that makes me, personally, satisfied.

This entire thread is a majority of people, on a generally quite progressive forum, arguing strongly against forced language change. I do not believe that the majority of genuinely progressive people want or believe in forced language changes, with the exception of a few specific ethnic and gender based slurs.
I have experienced this most acutely with the most recent round of macOS and iOS updates.

Nothing Apple is shipping seems to be for me, the user. Rather it’s a grab bag of crap “AI” for Wall Street, ways to make it harder to run software of my choosing, and wholesale trashing of perfectly fine UX to cram in whatever useless feature some PM landed for their promotion.

I could say a few hundred things much worse about the direction of windows 11, which is even more obnoxious than Apple, but then I’d have to relieve the horror of being forced to submit my email address to Microsoft to install the damn OS.

Day by day I feel the devices I’ve spent a huge sum of money on no longer belong to me. I’m getting really fucking tired of it, and something has to give.

In my view, it’s self-hostile, not AI-hostile. Other sites that I have visited may discuss how AI works or how to tinker with the internals of open models. But no other place except HN was themed “Prophecies of AI” that much. We are just babbling here all day compared to places where people actually work on/with AI.

Even your sibling comment (that is an example of it) reflects almost properly in the end. There’s just nothing to actually do here wrt AI.
AFAICT "Suspend to RAM" is basically stopping the CPU, powering down the peripherals, and keeping the DRAM unchanged and refreshed. It should be the easier option since very little state needs to be saved explicitly, the OS and apps should just receive a signal that they were interrupted, so some peripherals have to be re-initialized, and things like network and USB connections need to be re-established.

What am I missing?
At the end of the day this is a political problem. People care more about feeling safe than actually being safe. Random acts of violence make people feel extremely unsafe in a war that car accidents just don’t.
(I deleted a comment that didn't seem relevant any more now that you added a bunch.)

So it's okay to blame vets of Unit 8200 for its actions 10 years after they founded Snyk (I have no idea how long after they left the unit) on the grounds that the intelligence arm of the IDF doesn't name names? So just in case and in the face of all the facts of the timelines, we should make sure to drag out these people's former mandatory service and remind everyone they served alongside bad guys 10+ years ago?

I'm not okay with blaming soldiers for following orders. When it's that or getting shot by your own side, there isn't a real choice. But I can't even begin to understand the mindset that would blame soldiers for the orders that other, unrelated soldiers followed more than 10 years later. That's some next-level hatred.
>As an example I think people from the American political left to somewhere(?) in the middle see it as what it has been introduced as, that being looking past the status quo and instead looking at your own values, i.e. the morality of homelessness and not having a disdain for them but empathy for them instead.

I voted for Kamala, and I don't think this is accurate.

I support having empathy for homeless people. I would love to see a movement focused on actually helping homeless people, by volunteering at soup kitchens and so on.

Wokeness does not seem to be that movement. Insofar as wokeness concerns itself with homeless people, (a) it wants you to refer to them as 'unhoused' instead of homeless, (b) it wants to make sure you don't talk about it when they e.g. sexually assault you: https://x.com/CollinRugg/status/1845244113249063227

Many TikTok users are signing up for RedNote, an actual Chinese social media app. US users consider this a better option than American offerings such as Instagram, Twitter, or YouTube.

While Chinese developers are focused on building great products, US developers are focused on pushing politics. As a result, the Chinese apps are clearly more desirable for users.
That's why I rarely use my laptop's keyboard. Always use an external keyboard, and also an external monitor. That way you can look forward and not hurt your neck while also not having to hold your arms in a very high and uncomfortable position. Oh and don't rest your wrists while typing. Also learn to type correctly, and/or use sticky keys (the accessibility feature). Right, then you don't need this stand, though since traveling with a monitor is not practical, an stand that raises the laptop's display is a great thing, so... sold!
That's an egregious misrepresentation. The authors of that paper surveyed Latinos, found that those who disliked the term 'latinx' had moved toward voting for Trump between 2020 and 2024, and that those most likely to move were also most likely to express antipathy toward LGBT people.

You say the academics should have talked to some Latino people, and they did - n = ~2000. Are you saying that they should not have reported their results because you dislike what they imply?
Can always compare the US to Mexico. Mexico uses primarily sugar as their sweetener. We have similar obesity rates and significant percentage of chronic issues is related to obesity.

Europeans also have access to healthcare and there is correlation between health outcomes and access to healthcare. Easiest stat to see healthcare performance is maternal mortality rates as it’s linked to prenatal care.

You can certainly pack more bicycles/e-scooters per square mile, but they also move a lot slower. Not to mention cargo capacity of trucks vs. things like e-scooters. Buses and trains also don't go everywhere. If you banned cars and expanded bus routes to compensate, you would get much less utilization of space for your buses. In other words, buses are dense because other modes of transport allow you to only put a bus route on very common paths.

The point still stands, though. The roads that they are complaining about were largely planned and built before cars. Downtown SF had roads that were very similar in size in 1900 as they are in 2025. The roads didn't magically get wider when cars came in. If they weren't a waste of space with no cars, they aren't magically a waste of space now.

Many other cities that were built up much later have huge parking lots in their city centers, which are a massive waste of space. Roads, on the other hand, are not.

> There's literally a popular decentralized social network.

No there isn't. Not a single one.

There are a few federated social networks, which is a fancy way of saying that they are centralized networks that have (or can have, in principle) more than one "center".

In practice, the overwhelming majority of users of such networks gravitate towards one or a handful of large providers. And many of those providers actually refuse to federate with other providers unless they follow an ever-growing list of politically-charged rules. This is just centralization with extra steps.
I live in a city without a subway. But as a child (approximately 8 I think) I would ride the bus into the city from the suburbs for swim training.

We lived on a mountain, the first time I walked to the top I was 6. My fellow hikers were 6 and 7.

To describe it as a different time is massive understatement. My own kids were teenagers before they walked to the corner store without an adult.

There is a perception that suburb living is more dangerous now. But I think perhaps the real issue us that as parents we were much more involved with the kids, which in turn made them less self-reliant. I would not gave dreamed of letting my young kids loose on the bus system, and I suspect they didn't have the upbringing to handle it.

My parents trusted us enough to "figure out our way home". And we did. (Notably well before phones obviously.) I'm not sure I was confident enough that my own kids would do likewise .
I have various thoughts. The rough one is that investors driving up the cost of housing increases the countries labor costs. Which harms it's competitiveness. Reduces workers standard of living. Which also causes headaches for political leaders.

Foreign investors rub salt in the wound by moving their gains outside the country. And the real risk that they will flee when there is any sort of downturn making it worse.

My opinion giving those guys the middle finger isn't unreasonable.

I'd give good odds it was a mistake by a staff member (or small group) who overstepped and was not part of any formal work.

Most companies where I've worked as a security researcher, you get some time as part of your job to hack on random stuff to be able to generate interesting talks / research. This feels like that.

This isn't a special cyber spooky practice, most pentesting companies do this to generate IP (rarely, lol), buzz (reasonably often) and keep the staff happy (this is really the main thing).

It's rare for management to be fully across the scope of this.
I don't mind letting my child take the subway etc. but I think it's risky for them to cross the road here in San Francisco and if they take the subway they have to cross a couple of roads to get home. Not yet a concern, so I'll revisit in a few years.

I'm not afraid of other adults kidnapping my child. But I am afraid of other adults running her over. The Scientologists have been successful in popularizing their doctrine of "children are adults in small bodies" and so people will blame my child and possibly me if someone speeds through and kills her.

Consumer motor vehicles nowadays can do 0-60 in 3 seconds. The guy behind this extreme-performance motor isn't Ken Block. It's a sleep-deprived mother checking her phone.
IIRC Python had similar reasoning for making floats the default in version 3 instead of integers, which had been the assumption in 1 and 2 when you entered a number without a decimal. R always did it that way and Julia still assumes integer, which occasionally trips me up when switching languages.

The thing I don’t really get is: who the heck is gonna create services for all these agents? Other agents? That won’t work. And what should they get done for you? The boring work of what? So you concentrate on yours hobbies? AIs are already playing guitar better than a hobbyist. Agents or not, high diffusion of AI or not if you want to make something significant and deep in your life you still need to go deeper yourself, agents wouldn’t work out for you, you’d just get lazier otherwise. And in your example what’s the purpose of agents interacting with other friend’s agents? Makes no sense to me, sounds like totally wasted compute
