The OSH Act was passed in 1970. I wonder why it doesn't have "for men" in its name...

Pardon my laziness, but this is the best graph I could find on the reduction of workplace-related injuries: https://fitsmallbusiness.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Info...

This policy was very effective, in the first place. I could eyeball a 70% reduction in the period between 1972 and 2019.

Can it be reduced it even further? Probably.

Would I find it off-puting if any piece of legislation is eventually passed that addresses a hypothetical issue that is disproportionally faced by men and helps reduce it even further? Certainly not.

(I, for one, would approve of the "No More Balls Stuck in the Cogs Act".)
This article is kind of strange to me because it implies celluloid film is low quality, but it seems there’s a rough consensus that you can can scan that size of film in to create good 4K video, if not higher. That’s not enough for the Sphere’s full 16K resolution, but that’s more to do with it having extremely high resolution than the film being “tiny” or grainy.
what about this is practical?!
Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present "Both Sides"
For the reader.

The AI won't tell the reader what to think in an authoritative voice. This is better than the AI trying to decide what is true and what isn't.

However, the AI should be able to search the web and present it's findings without refusals. Obviously, always presenting the sources. And the AI should never use an authoritative tone and it should be transparent about the steps it took to gather the information, and present the sites and tracks it didn't follow.
Or you could just make a city car-free. There are so many benefits besides fewer particles in the air. People can walk and cycle safely. Kids can play in the streets. The atmosphere is so much nicer, since people are not isolated by walls around them.

I have lived in a city with a (nearly) car-free city center (+ separate bike lines for many roads outside the center) for most of my adult life [1] and it is just glorious. Most locals just walk or cycle. Longer distances by (electric) bus or train.

And it's one of the biggest promoters of inequality.

I am an European who studied at OSU in Columbus for a semester and it was absurd to me how on one side there was lots of work downtown, yet you could live 20 miles of it and it would take you two hours by public transport to get there, an odyssey.

People without a car, insurance, poorer parts of the society were cut off from the job market for not having a way to connect.

Suburbs are cute, but they are a tragedy of city planning, let alone the tragedy they are on a social level, where people will put everything in their houses including movie rooms, entertainment rooms, anything to avoid having to go out and socialize. Terrible.

It can make pollution worse. ICE cars are most efficient at around 50mph.
If the stopping distance is the same (same accel/decel), I don’t understand this statement

It sort of can but all non-adobe software I know of, even commercial stuff like Affinity Photo, has spotty support for some PSD features.

I lived in downtown Rome, Italy. By far the biggest pollution you get in your house, it's...dust from brakes. It's a tragedy.

Not saying diesel ain't bad, but even now that diesels have been largely banned or reduced to euro 6, it has changed nothing about brake dust.

My flat would fill with it in a single day.
It's everywhere. And I lived on a third floor, not even at street level.
> Learn Windows' keyboard UI and you can drive the whole OS and all its apps with the speed of a genius Vim user

Do you have a reference for this? I've often needed to control Windows using only a keyboard and failed to do so. I'm aware of most shortcuts in this list[1] but these are for a few very specific things. (As an aside, I also remember controlling the mouse with the numpad using the Mouse Keys accessibility setting but this is worse than both keyboard shortcuts and the mouse.)

That's the myth. Streetcars were actually torn up because busses were much cheaper, there was no conspiracy. The streetcars were also old and cold and ppl hated them.

(I lived in a streetcar part of SF, and loved it, fwiw. But the only reason it's still there is a tunnel.)
Regenerative braking helps with brake dust, but is probably offset by extra tyre wear on EVs. I

This is what needs to be investigated by DOGE and the DOJ! To be clear, I think DOGE is complete nonsense and causing real harm. But if Trump, Musk (DOGE) really wanted to find fraud, waste and abuse it would investigate private insurance fraud that the insurance companies regularly commit and defense contractors. The executive branch has an opportunity to do actual good if they investigated and punished private insurance companies like the CFPB investigated and punishes financial companies for fraud. I’m

> making a few more concessions towards… omg, white males?

I'm a white man. We already HAVE all the concessions. There's nothing left to give us. I mean, we're not gonna implement anti-racist stuff against white men because there does not exist any racism against white men. Ergo, that policy is defacto implemented.

White men also don't need DEI because we actually already have DEI. Studies show upwards of 50% increase in likelihood of being hired if you're white.

I mean, look at Trump's cabinet and admin. Full of white men... because they are white men. A lot of them are very unqualified.

> It is true that savings needed to be done.

This administration will only raise the deficit.

Also, the left at least admitted that taxes on the ultra-wealthy need to be raised. The Trump administration is continuing to raise YOUR taxes while cutting theirs. So, to recap: higher taxes for you, a greater deficit, and the programs will be cut. Wow, it's a lose-lose-lose! Almost impressive how shit conservative policy is.

> This entire movement is a reactionary movement to the left.

I applaud your honesty in admitting the reactionary nature of American conservatives.

However, you're incorrect in saying they're reacting to the left. They're not. They're reacting to a made-up version of the left. One formed and imagined through decades of conservative propaganda. One where the left are communists, baby eaters, and reptilians - not the reality, where the democratic party is a right-leaning ultra-capitalist party.

> Do we agree that, staying closed-minded as they are, the left will resume public spendings by the trillions the moment they step into power? Do we agree that the left is a direct threat to meritocracy, stability of government, men in marriage, men at work, a direct threat to men’s financial stability, and that no-one on the left cares even a little what others-than-them feel?

Uh, no.
It seems that there has been fundamental mistakes and overstatements in the amount of particles from brakes in much of the secondary research in the last decades.

Also--I think the pseudo code you have isn't /quite/ correct. If x is greater than p, we don't immediately take a random element from the list; rather we go to the next element and generate a new x and repeat. I.e. with p=0.1, there's a 10% we immediately take the first item, and if we don't do that, then there's a 10% chance we immediately take the second item, etc. we only pick a completely random item as a fallback if we get to the end of the list without picking anything.

Hello username neighbor
Yeah, I guess it depends how much you care about the details. Sometimes you just want a thing to get done, and there are billions of acceptable ways to do it, so whatever GPT spits out is within the realm of good enough. Sometimes you want finer control, and in those cases trying to use AI exclusively is going to take longer than writing code.

Not much different from image generation really. Sometimes AI is fine, but there's always going to be a need to drop down into photoshop when you really care about some detail. Even if you could do the same thing thing with very detailed AI prompts and some trial and error, doing the thing in photoshop will be easier.
Well IIRC ev are significantly heavier than ice in average, which has a direct consequence on amount of stress on the tires and brakes pad.

People wouldn't use publicly-owned cars, they would used publicly-owned buses, trams, subways, and other forms of mass transit, plus (as the article points out), making it easier to walk or bike.

I believe the goal of limiting car use in Paris is as part of re-designing the city so it can be lived in without having to use cars, yes.
I always thought transforms were an odd inclusion in SVG until I tried to make my own icons/logo with it. Those curves are challenging to get right. When I got done with the second logo I decided it looked flat and I needed to skew it 10°. The thought of rewriting all of those lines and curves suddenly made rotation seem like a much much better idea. Good thing too because it looked weird next to test and I changed the angle several more times to make the kerning look right.
It's very clear that the system of Constitutional governance has been intentionally broken. It is very common for authoritarian regimes to have compliant judiciaries and broad legislative control.

Effective restoration and reconstruction of Constitutional governance will necessarily be dramatic. It's still doable, but optimism is more of a survival strategy than an obvious conclusion at this stage.

If you want to do exclusively distributed computing at the application level - Erlang/Elixir will be better. They can offer nice Northstar of where the UX of Akka.net/Orleans should sit at (and, arguably, Orleans is not exactly nice to use in comparison).

Otherwise, aside from educational purposes, they are not worth spending your time on. Just skip to F# over Elixir because Elixir is not a serious language, lacking base language primitives and operations one would expect standard library to offer. It's not productive nor fast.
My desire not to inhale brake & tire particulate, not to be killed while walking to the store, and not to subsidize others expensive lifestyles, is not rooted in jealousy.

I owned a car once, it was sometimes convenient, interesting & fun, but it was also often infuriating, terrifying and expensive. If I can pull it off, I'd prefer to never own one again. I don't really care if anyone else owns them, I just don't want to subsidize them or have their externalities imposed on me.

An alternative to outright bans is to make some good faith attempt at estimating externalities and internalizing them, and reducing subsidies such as free, or below market rate public land for private vehicle operation & storage. But this is difficult and it's not clear the politics of it would be much better than an outright bans. If a good faith effort determined that operating a car while not being subsidized and not inflicting externalities on others, cost a significant amount of money, then the whole effort would be castigated as limiting driving to the very rich, and probably wouldn't go very far. So it feels like we end up with either "everyone drives everywhere all the time for everything and it's the govt's job to shovel public funds & land at it" or outright bans in popular areas.

Cars, oil, and the internal combustion engine, are all tremendously useful, and we would be foolish to pretend otherwise. But all tools have their ideal uses and all tools can be misused & overused to bad ends, both for the tool user and for others.

A world of 100% gasoline car ownership where the car was simply a fun toy for kick ass weekend road trips, and cities had never been bulldozed to make room for them as substitutes for our legs, would be a pretty great world, even if it involved a bit more pollution/externalities/subsidies than some utopian car free world.
Just not true. I favor EVs, but it is incredibly misleading to say 98% comes from other sources. In many places, natural gas and coal are still used to generate the electricity needed. That must be accounted for in your life cycle analysis. In fact, once you remove the Musk propaganda, Tesla's EVs are by no way greener (draw a boundary around his other company SpaceX, and the rocket fuel it uses, and you immediately see what I mean. Worse than Exxon I would bet)
This seems like a concession and/or “I didn’t think this through” kinda backpedaling.

Most stupid and corrupt ruler that developed world has ever seen. Economically illiterate. Mentally unstable. Emotionally immature. Professionally incompetent.

People commenting here about Trump corruption are correct, but it's also not new. This is regression to the mean. America has historically been a highly corrupt nation with extreme wealth inequality that occasionally has shocks (e.g. Abolitionism, the Progressive movement, WWII) that allow liberals to take over and purge the system of corruption. If anything, we've had to deal with and defeat (or at least, outlive) smarter and more well-connected fascists than Trump.
Ending the statement with 'There is a list of things' and not providing it strongly suggests that you don't actually have any data or hard facts to back up your claims.

You are a random person on an internet forum, the onus is in you to provide data to back up incredible claims.
It’s the whole damn organizational culture that supports looking the other way and these demonstrations of incompetence. I observed so many senior managers on their iPhones at work and never working. I seemed to lack the levers to do anything and when I did, my award bonus was reduced for four yrs. But I still have my pride.
So the organization just rots over time.

Too much complexity, long build times, monomorphization, lack of stability / no standard, poor portability, supply chain issues, no dynamic linking, no proper standard, not enough different implementations, etc. It is a nice language though, but I do not prefer it over C.

I used to live next to a big intersection with a red light, and the cars accelerating away when it goes green was annoying. I now live at the end of a cul-de-sac with a cemetary behind me. So much more peaceful!
A battery trailer might affect the speed limit your allowed to drive.

Since EVs are heavier and accelerate better they probably produce more tire dust.
At no point did submeta qualify their statement to only apply to former soldiers. Quite the rather - they removed the nuance that did exist in their quoted propaganda articles and made it explicitly based on national origin only.

I wouldn't say that's the opposite conclusion. Plenty of people have switched from mechanical or quartz watches to Apple watches for their daily wear. But a decade from now the watches in the jewelry drawer will have retained their value more than the watch that's on her wrist today.

Of course there's nothing wrong with wearing a smart watch. For practical purposes they are better in every way. They just have a different lifetime. It's a similar situation with cars. Some like the constant maintenance that a 60 year old car requires, others want a Toyota that will reliably get them to work, and others want a sports car with engine that can go three times as fast as they'll ever drive.

Also, I think the cheap product winning is pretty typical. CDs replaced vinyl records and were then replaced by music streaming. Few people buy cameras now that smartphones exist. And these mechanical watches were already replaced for the most part decades ago by quartz watches.

Despite the existence of more practical alternatives, there are people who still like to buy grandfather clocks, vinyl records and mechanical watches. They are certainly in the minority and you won't find a grandfather clock or record player in every home, but there is a market there.

(I kind of hate to be that guy, but if there were batteries inside, those weren't Swiss mechanical movements)
Seriously, humans are not a product. You hire them for building products.
Mutual sacrifice is the glue that takes time to set.

Mutual interest propels activity, but reliable sacrifice is the basis of trust and reliance.

But if you are perceived as welching on this, you will induce real and lasting anger, justifiably in my mind because you’ve just made it harder for people to trust for the rest of their lives.

And this is not limited to close friends.

Those topics weren't in the scope of the original discussion and I'm not really interested in litigating partisan entertainment propaganda based around taking shreds of truth (at best) and blowing them out of proportion.

The large scale facts are that under the previous administration we had working relationships with our allies, mostly functional executive agencies (aka law enforcement), and the US (ie USD) was seen as a source of stability. Meanwhile the current administration's actions are indistinguishable from a foreign power doing its best to destroy our country - we are now isolated from our allies (and even seen as hostile!), the ideal of rule of law has been replaced by brazenly corrupt rule by law, and we're staring down dedollarization.

Smarten up, quick.
My hesitancy to adopt Gemini, despite being a heavy GCP and workspace user, is I kinda lost trust when trying to use their earlier models (I don't even remember those models' names). I just remember the models were just so consistently bad and obviously hallucinated more than 50% of the time.

Maybe Gemini is finally better, but I'm not exactly excited to give it a try.
This is true, but from the perspective of the time, automobiles were far from "2 tons of metal" and quite a bit slower. They were also a rich man's conveyance, even more so than a nice carriage, and I doubt people understood early on just how widely adopted the automobile would become.

A lack of foresight is also very human.
