You cannot legally remove people from the subway for being insane. If someone is making me uncomfortable by regaling me with conspiracy theories and ethnic slurs, there isn't the clear legal authority to trespass them.

However, if one car costs $3 and the other costs $6, the person who is statistically likely to urinate on the seats is more likely to pick the $3.

I will honestly pay double fare just to sit in a car with others that can afford to pay double fare.

Electric’s network state distribution is fully incremental, i’m not sure what you mean by “re-fetches everything all the time” but that is not how i would describe it.

If you are referring to virtual scroll over large collections - yes, we use the persistent connection to stream the window of visible records from the server in realtime as the user scrolls, affording approximately realtime virtual scroll over arbitrarily large views (we target collections of size 500-50,000 records and test at 100ms artificial RT latency, my actual prod latency to the Fly edge network is 6ms RT ping), and the Electric client retains in memory precisely the state needed to materialize the current DOM state, no more no less. Which means the client process performance is decoupled from the size of the dataset - which is NOT the case for sync engines, which put high memory and compute pressure on the end user device for enterprise scale datasets. It also inherits the traditional backend-for-frontend security model, which all enterprise apps require, including consumer apps like Notion that make the bulk of their revenue from enterprise citizen devs and therefore are exposed to enterprise data security compliance. And this is in an AI-focused world where companies want to defend against AI scrapers so they can sell their data assets to foundation model providers for use in training!

Which IMO is the real problem with sync engines: they are not a good match for enterprise applications, nor are they a good match for hyper scale consumer saas that aspire to sell into enterprise. So what market are they for exactly?

As a manager, you are always implicitly communicating from a position of power. That changes what you can and cannot say.

None of this is responsive to what I wrote. Please read the bits where I talked about how the term could equally well apply to an artificial depiction, and how there was additional specific context in the headline. You brought this up as a semantic thing (talking about how words have particular meanings) and I gave you reply in that semantic context.

Now you've switched to talking about it as a policy issue, explaining it as if the concept wasn't immediately obvious to everyone else. If that's what you wanted to talk about you should have said so in the first place.
Stated goal was not necessarily reduced traffic, but additional funding for MTA. The agency that never had an audit and is widely known to be very corrupt. Why on earth not to tie additional funding with an audit requirement? Every New Yorker wonders the same. The fact that Hockul does not mention MTA accountability in any form and shape makes it very hard to take seriously.

Yeah, we at Proxmox are actually evaluating such things, and we hope that IronRDP and QEMU display [0] can be part of a stack that replaces SPICE in the long term, but it will need a bit more time to see how this play out and what exact role it can play in Proxmox VE.

Another experiment is to see if we can add a more modern video encoding to QEMU, as the recently released noVNC 1.6 gained support for H.264 [1]; albeit we naturally would prefer something more open like AV1.

It was a dark realization for me about some of the ways that America is corrupt despite branding/veneer of beautiful things like freedom, prosperity, christianity.

IMO A just nation who wanted to live out those^^ values would limit the rights of police (who are not judge or jury), and do the following:

1. Anything said before a lawyer is present is inadmissable

2. The officer's word is not considered superior to the defendent's

3. There are strictly enforced rights police must uphold until you're proven guilty. This includes basic comfort (think food, water, temperature regulation, sleep, access to daylight, contact with support people/friends/family)

4. You have a right to know exactly where you're fitting into an investigation, if you're the subject or a witness (and your role cannot change or if it does then all prior investigation is inadmissable evidence)

5. Police are not allowed to lie, or otherwise be deceptive

6. Police are liable for negative impacts they cause, including loss of work, loss of opportunity, disruptions of family etc. Acquittal should begin the process of recompense for losses.

I think in attempts to be "tough on crime" or "back the blue" America has lost it's sense of right and wrong / morality.

Why would that be? For one, they could be launched in swarms from shipping containers aboard many dispersed vessels.

If those vessels would be too suspicious and/or vulnerable at the time, they could still be launched from submarines, maybe themselves robotic, cheaper to manufacture. Or from something like a cruise missile, like a swarm of dandelions, from a swarm of cruise missiles, or whatever larger (disposable) drone-launching platform may emerge.

Pretty sure that is misleading, i'm no tax lawyer but gift rules only apply to friends and family. Buskers have to report income from performing, waitstaff have to report voluntary tips given to them and while there's probably no caselaw yet, I would suspect the IRS would fight you on income you receive entertaining other people not being 'gifts'.
The thing where the cops are allowed to lie to people in the USA in order to get confessions out of them is so wild to me.

There's a section in here about that: "Presentations of False Evidence"

"At times, American police will overcome a suspect’s denials by presenting supposedly incontrovertible evidence of guilt (e.g., a fingerprint, eyewitness identification, or failed polygraph)—even if that evidence does not exist. [...]
In much of the world, police are not permitted to deceive suspects in this way."

This doesn't seem like a scalable practice. From my experience, the worst thing about these IDEs is maintaining the conversation / file context that it needs to finish the request.

If you're running multiple agents, they all have totally silo'd context (at least in cursor). Which means there's not a great way for them to align on implementation / api spec. Why not just have one "full stack" agent that handles an atomic task end to end?

That sounds reasonable at first, but humans are messy and so the distinction is not always clear.

For example, in music we use numbers for the notes of a scale (G is the 5th of C, because in the C major scale: C=1, D=2, E=3, F=4, G=5, A=6, B=7). The numbers are clearly indices for the notes of the scale.

But we often think of stuff like: what's the 3rd of the 5th -- that is, get the note at the 5th position (G in our example) and then get the 3rd of that note (the 3rd of G is B). But note that B is the 7th of C major, not the 8th you'd get from adding 5 and 3.

The problem, of course, is that we ended up using the numbers as offsets, even though they started as indices.

Why not both?

Even small generators provide a lot of power at once, for a small initial price, but are expensive to run continuously. A battery has low operating cost, but one large enough to run a house off of solar power, year round, is extremely expensive. A battery that is large enough to work 99% of the time is much cheaper, and a generator can fill in that 1%, operating only a few hours a year, at a very low cost.

To me the fact that traffic has fallen off a cliff feels like a bad sign. Congestion pricing is 9$ a day, at max ~400$ a month. Any tech employee making over 100k a year can spend this much without overthinking it. But the fact that traffic fell off a cliff means that actually the roads were used by poor people who can’t afford an additional 400$ a month and now we’ve pushed them into public transit.

I'm massively summarizing the book but he talks a lot about the history of the timeline for end-Permian.

At the time of writing of the book it was "less than 60k years" which seems like a long time, but when the extinction was first discovered it was believed to be a very gradual change taking place over 10 million years, turns out that it was believed that end-Permian and end-Guadalupian were the same event.

As isotope dating has gotten more and more accurate, the length of time for end-Permian has gotten shorter and shorter. There's also other evidence that it was a very sudden event, evidence of fungal explosions for instance during the event suggesting massive amounts of decomposition.

In any case, as I said the P-T took "no more than 60k years" but the Siberian traps were erupting for at least 120k years before, so there's at least 60k years unaccounted for between the start of the eruptions and the start of the extinction.

I've worked with great people who were decades older than everyone else on the team, and nobody cared how old they were. I've also worked with people who sounded like a caricature of the worst parts of early 90's Usenet.

Discussion of sync engines typically goes hand in hand with local-first software. But it seems to be limited to use cases when the amount of data is on the smaller side. For example, can anyone imagine how there might be a local-first version of a recommendation algorithm (I'm thinking something TikTok-esque)? This would be a case where the determination of the recommendation relies on a large amount of data.

Or think about any kind of large-ish scale enterprise SaaS. One of the clients I'm working with currently sells a Transportation Management Software system (think logistics, truck loads, etc). There are very small portions of the app that I can imagine relying on a sync engine, but being able to search over hundreds of thousands of truck loads, their contents, drivers, etc seems like it would be infeasible to do via a sync engine.

I mention this because it seems that sync engines get a lot of hype and interest these days, but they apply to a relatively small subset of applications. Which may still be a lot, but it's a bit much to say they're the future (I'm inferring "of application development"--which is what I'm getting from this article).
It's very good at being a remote _desktop_ protocol, but the fact that it lacks features like tunneling and that authentication is the usual MS mess makes me wish they just went with SSH as transport protocol.

Yeah, there's lawns and "lawns".

The perfectly manufactured, 100% single grass variety, that takes lots of chemicals, water, and mowing? Terrible.

Personally, I'd rather have some bushes and perennials that I trim 2x year, add much in the Spring, and that's it. And that's the way yard has been going over the last 5 years - the grass portion is smaller every year. I might just pull the plug on grass this season, dig it up, add some fresh soil, and plant some plants.

You can piece it together. The article conveniently leaves out exactly where she was staying for the months between visa revocation and re-entering the US.

> Presumably she wasn't in the US or she wouldn't have been trying to enter the US from Mexico.

She was likely doing what many folks do: cross the border briefly for the explicit purpose of getting documents refreshed. This is common and expected in many cases, but she was without a visa for months at this point. And she likely crossed from Mexico because it is close to where she was previously living. Again, this is common.

The fact that she didn't cross back over from her home country of Canada immediately sets off alarm bells.
