Actually all traffic modalities are tied together by relative or induced demand. Making one method easier induces demand for it. So perhaps not the same pot of money, but impacts it all the same.

I only hear that from people on Medicare and Medicaid, and certain areas if they’re covered by the VA. Maybe ACA plans if they’re low income. I definitely don’t hear that from the middle. I definitely don’t hear that from travel nurses or t

I feel like I’m missing something, forgive me. I’ve read your entire thread, and I don’t mean this negatively… but I can’t tell if you’re larping. Take this example: “[They learn] piano as easily as molecular engineering” Pretty much anyone

I had done the same kind of game for a dnd group with some friends. What I found is that: - As a text based game... the wall of text isn't fun at all. There is always way too much fat in the writing, even if you use another agent to tr

There are so many layers to your comment. Aren’t you now asking yourself, “who are they scared of?” Let the answer sink in.

In many countries and jurisdictions, that’s exactly what they owe you.

It's very cool you're doing your own voice over reading for your articles. Soooo many sites have AI read voice overs, and while I understand why, it's a nice touch to listen to a real human with natural prosody.

I’m from very rural USA (population: 32). I’ve only seen farm stands in very isolated towns where people generally know each other. A lot near my home town have disappeared. In my experience, I’ve seen unattended farm stands, antique stores

No one said deserve. But if we’re just going to use the states’ body counts as justification, you’ve sort of answered your own question.

You can separate one group of innocents killed horrifically from other innocents killed horrifically. No one goes around expecting New York City to attone for the events that led up to 9/11.

Most pre-commits I’ve seen are usually formatting/prettier. But if need be, I will spam my commits locally with `—no-verify`. Once the code is ready, I reset to head and remake them as nice, conventional commits.

In this context, I would say *finishing things* is the actual creative release. The "not finishing" is getting in the way of it. (also, I highly doubtful that this is the author's one creative release, and and even more doubt

None of these comments here are reassuring. As if people’s concerns about developing weapon technology are economic concerns lol. - Partner countries like Israel (however you feel about that) will eventually use whatever we make. America wi

This is VERY cool. What made you pursue this instead of other energy monitoring solutions?

I want to read on this subject, but it’s very clear this article was heavily written by LLMs. Reading it feels like a waste of time. I could just (a) look up 1st hand sources or (b) have an interactive lesson from the same model that helped

I use a 2013 MacBook running Ubuntu to code in. It works totally fine UNLESS you load something like a crazy landing page with animations. I always end up having to kill Firefox and prevent that site from opening. One unexpected benefit of

kinda disappointing comments in this thread. Thanks to LLMs I have built more home cooked software than ever. I’m not an engineer, but I've written more code this year than ever. LLMs have helped me tackle a huge backlog of projects at

I read the article, but was replying to parent comment about "young global leaders fly their private jets..." I'm going to bet my bottom dollar none of those featured in the article are flying private, nor have any political

Hypocrisy sucks, yes. Corps and states are more to blame than individuals, yes. However, your conclusions are strange to me. Some of these seem out of left field (eg “stop having children?” IMO people are lamenting not being able to afford

I believe you're vastly overselling driving. We're talking saving ~10 minutes on the mean ride, at a huge increase in cost (and IMO, health). Source: >>> Differences between cities [public transportation vs car transporta

This is a bit of projection. I have a child younger than yours and I feel exactly like OP. I’m really sorry about your son’s experience. Getting lost can be terrifying for a kid. But being lost happens (eg I was lost in hunting woods at 8yo

Has anyone built a screenless music player for their kids, or perhaps other projects that allow safe, independent exploration without a phone? I'm interested in creating something for my children to discover music beyond my own collect

While nothing is truly maintenance free, methods like hardscaping, xeriscaping and even permaculture planting methods like STUN (okay a harder sell but still) are easily doable. In the longer term, the emergent benefit is that bicycle frien

Anecdotally, I don’t feel this way about “giving a shit” in japan. We did have inflation and other issues, but I didn’t notice any big change of the sort here.

This post significantly influenced me back when it was first on HN, and helped me articulate what I was already doing subconsciously. I started a homelab years ago like a lot of folks here, and slowly that’s changed to being a hobby of buil

Wow I feel like something may be wrong with me. This isn’t the first comment I’ve read about the noise, but I’ve had an 8i5beh for almost 5 years (just replaced a dead fan last week!) and a 13anhi5. I never notice them, they’re essentially

I indeed read the paper. No snark needed. I disagree with your interpretation of the stable plural patchwork that you’ve represented here as supporting your claim. However, the nuance in difference of our opinion isn’t that important in the
