That made legit laugh out loud. No additional cost? Are you for real Uber? It should be significantly cheaper.

It is challenging in the US for a woman in their 20s or 30s to have their tubes tied.
I will not be salty.

For reference, I have no police service, no fire service, no public roads where I live. Road access for miles and miles are private easements which works without taxes -- I first built my road with an axe and a shovel with no government assistance. I have privately drilled water, a privately made sewer, and private electric for which I personally funded the power poles. I pay for private education for my children, on top of taxes for public school. Any remaining scraps of public services you might claim I get, I assure you it would be cheaper for me to buy privately than pay ~30% of my income as I do now in tax.

I don't want your tax money or services. You have a deal.

I think it's interesting that you mention bloomberg as saying that things are going ok.
My recent read was that they thought twitter was just messing with numbers.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-02-20/behind-mu...

Key quotes:

> its improved fortunes owe much to heavily adjusted financials and investors’ fear of missing out

> The 2024 figures weren’t audited, but the 2023 figures were, said one of the people. None of them would qualify for generally accepted accounting principles, also known as the GAAP standard that the US Securities and Exchange Commission requires for publicly traded companies.

... i.e. the recent numbers aren't trustworthy

> Even under those unusual calculations, X’s debt burden was roughly nine times adjusted earnings — far beyond the baseline of six that bank regulators characterize as risky.

> The threat of litigation — and Musk’s advisory role to Trump — has been a topic of conversation among some advertisers as they decide whether to return, according to several ad industry sources. While few believe X’s product or ad offerings have improved in the past year, marketers are weighing the possible downside of ignoring X and what that might mean in terms of retaliation from Musk.

... i.e. to the extent that some advertisers have returned, it's b/c they think they'll be punished if they don't, not because it's a good way of reaching an audience or promoting their brand.

I think the actual revenue story is worse than the usage story. My first searches show that their Q4 revenue was $2.5B, roughly half of where it was in 2021.

Analogously, I don't think any of the recent sudden moves mean that the federal government at large is _over_ ("doomsday scenario") except for the departments that the administration actually wants to kill, but I think the current administration is setting the government up to do less and less well. Possibly it will be a great financial outcome for Musk.

What’s the advantage of owning the full stack? Some margin on the base machine? Is that that huge a factor?
It's certainly a bit cynical to view for-profit companies as being solely profit motivated, but I don't think it's _that_ cynical. To me, it almost seems a bit naive to assume that a company like Google would be doing something for purely altruistic motives in the absence of any evidence one way or another. I'm not a subscriber to Friedman's view that corporations are _required_ to maximize profits for their shareholders, but I do think that they all inevitably end up there in the absence of mitigating factors.

The wince logo showed up while booting a wince game. There's a field in the boot file where you can drop a logo that gets inserted in the boot splash animation. Of Sega licensed games, I think it's just blank or WinCE; but for unlicensed games there's more variation, it's a nice place to acknowledge the developer OS you used.

A sticker on the front is just branding. Image search says it shows 'compatible with Windows CE' which is true. Doesn't mean it was built around it, and doesn't mean it was a good idea, but certainly some games used it. I'm sure Microsoft could have put together Windows CE for gamecube or ps2 if they wanted to, and wouldn't have needed a sticker on the front... ps1 and saturn could probably swing it too; you really just need to put drivers around the hardware and the bios functions, and maybe structure memory properly if bios functions make assumptions.

As a former landlord, I would not compete with buyers on a potential rental property. I'd rather pick it up cheap because it is an investment. So the correlation between ownership and prices is not as clear to me, and landlords may provide some market making service. The connection between supply and prices is very clear, however.

Another issue is that historically low mortgage rates pushed up the maximum price of house that people could afford, and when rates went back up the market stalled out rather than price correct. I don't know how to fix that.
I hope that if your life ever becomes unbearable you will have the option available to you to end it with dignity at your own convenience.

I've been riding Waymo in Austin for several months as an early. They service the central Austin area. In that area, they've generally been available within 5-10 minutes.

The routes it takes are optimized for safety, if you compare the time of arrival between Waymo and Google Maps it's typically 20-30% slower to get there.

Most of the rides have been without issue, but I have had some things happen:

- It hesitated in the middle of an unprotected left on Lamar and had a car honk at

- It used a bus-only lane.

- It stopped in the middle of the street to drop me off a couple of times, annoying other drivers.

- I've had it get stuck, and it called support to get it out.

Overall, they are great but imperfect right now; I'm sure they'll fix these as time goes on.
You can buy ZSA split keyboards with labels on the keycaps. Its great while you are still learning to type on these rather exotic keyboards. As you get more proficient, you start to rely more and more on the "central" keys (using layers toggles to put, say arrow keys on the home row). Muscle-memory is often more than enough.

That said, I have kept the number row labelled. These keys are not obscured by your hands and they can give you the necessary frame of reference. The ideal trade-off for me.
Because of the lack of building, 1 in 200 families are homeless?

Yes, getting rid of private landlords would be great but our housing crisis is far, far bigger than that.

Secondly, having a small amount of rental accommodation is useful. If I switch jobs and move cities then having somewhere to rent while I get on my feet is a good thing. I would agree that it's now gone too far though. Perhaps just having a small amount of government rental locations could solve this.

no, that makes no sense. How does having identical genetics negate problem of different lifestyles?

Even the authors agree with awestley:

> Additionally, having a tattoo, especially among adolescents, has been suggested as an indicator of risky lifestyle highly associated with e.g. smoking [4] and alcohol consumption [46] – both risk factors of certain cancer types. Hence, evidence of an association between tattoo ink exposure and occurrence of cancer may be confounded by other health-related lifestyle factors. We intend to exploit the remainder of the information gathered in the survey in the future.

Indeed, it does seem like a big problem that should really be accounted in the initial analysis.

There it is again, the urge to port my Lisp back to C.

https://github.com/codr7/eli

What I love most about C is the fact that it doesn't talk down to me no matter what crazy ideas I come up with. It's therapeutic for me, reminds me why I started writing code in the first place.

I realize that's also what many hate about it, the fact that it gives other people freedoms they would never trust themselves with.
Are there any other carmakers with anything close to SFSD? People love to hate and act as though SFSD doesn't work, but SFSD v13 has driven ~95% of the miles on my model 3.

>One sixth of π is 0.5236 [one cubit]

To get one sixth of π, first get one sixth of 2π. This can be done by using only a compass, drawing one circle of the same radius on the original circle, then a second circle where this circle and the original circle intersect, and so on...

https://www.wikihow.com/Divide-a-Circle-Into-6-Equal-Parts

Then you can divide the angle in two using the compass.
Thanks. They're not in the basic-data-types, but you are correct, they are available in the stdint module, which has a pub date from Oct 19, 2022. It can be found here:

> https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/stdint/

It's been a while since I investigated OCaml, so I guess this is a recent addition and is obviously not a part of the standard integer data types (and, therefore, the standard language), that not only have no signedness, and only have Int32 and Int64, but have "one bit is reserved for OCaml's runtime operation".

The stdint package also depends on Jane Street's "Dune", which they call a "Fast, portable, and opinionated build system". I don't need or want or need any of its capabilities.

As well, the issues page for stdint has a ton of more than year old open issues, so, as I understood, OCaml does not, like F#, have all sizes and signedness of ints available in their fundamental language. Such a language is simply not a good fit for system-level programming, where bit-banging is essential. Such low-level int handling is simply not a part of the language, however much it may be able to be bolted on.

I just want to install a programming language, with its base compiler and libraries and preferably with man pages, open some files in vi, compile, correct, and run. That is my requirement for a "systems-level" language.

I would never in my life consider OCaml with opam and Dune for building systems-level software. I wish it could, but it's not copacetic for the task, whose sole purpose is to produce clean, simple, understandable binaries.

Thanks for helping me understand the situation.
I’m also worried about this. I was recently down in San Francisco and was using uber a fair bit (I couldn’t use waymo bc I’m a Canadian without a zip address). It felt weird to be talking to uber drivers while seeing tons of Waymo’s zipping around. There aren’t many jobs that are going to be fully automated away by AI but human uber drivers actually might be and I feel sorry for them.
I think that it depends on the system.

Firmware is probably still best done in C (sometimes, C++), mostly because so many SDKs, libraries, and toolkits are done in those languages. Also, there's decades of "prior art" in C. Lots of places to look for solutions.

I worked on a project, where we tried using a very "less-popular" language for firmware.

It didn't end well.

I'd say that being a "Systems Programmer" means that you are operating at a fairly "advanced" level, where the benefits of "safer" languages may be less of a factor, and the power of more "dangerous" languages is more attractive.

Of course, on HN, suggesting C or C++ is suggesting "less popular" languages...

Sure, switching to heat pumps doubles (probably triples) your storage, or, cut the storage energy in the form of gas by 66%. But, I thought we were discussing decarbonzing the storage too. Looking at that amount of energy, (chemical) electrical storage isn't even in the right ballpark yet. And other forms neither.

I think your memory is mostly right. Leto II essentially wanted to instill into humanity this lesson, do not fall for the words of the prophet, permanently: his reign would forever be remembered as the hell that this can lead to. And yes, he was satisfied with being killed, as this was the goal of his plan as well: torture humanity for a thousand years, teaching them a lesson they will never forget (especially in the universe of Dune, where genetic memory is a thing), and then be defeated by them, teaching also that no evil is too big to overcome. Note that this is about any prophet, false or true. Both Paul and Leto II were true prophets, but this made them no less dangerous.

But Paul is exactly the failed version of Leto II. Paul saw the option of doing what his son did, but didn't have the courage to do it. He instead chose to believe that he can become the benevolent dictator that would uplift humanity through his strong moral core, and instead brought only needless suffering to the galaxy and to all those around him.

The good future that Leto II fought for is one where every human is truly unique and free, spreading in a thousand distinct directions, impossible to predict for anyone (which also implies that they are impossible to lead as an overall group, as they will never again accept to follow someone else).

> China is on Trump's enemy list

I hear that a lot, but is it true? I don't see signs that this Admin is doing anything to prepare for a confrontation with the PRC; rather, signs of the contrary: TikTok ban reversed, conciliatory tone towards Xi, talk about a 50% reduction in defense spending, even nuclear disarmament, not to mention the mess DOGE is doing at the DoD. And Musk has significant exposure in China.

Of course, I'll be glad to stand corrected if I missed something.
