-1. Speaking as a local, friends from Long Island and New Jersey and other boroughs do drive in casually. They didn't live near subway stops and way too far for busses. LGA and JFK are an hour+ by train with transfers, much now reaso

Taxis are charged $1.25 per fare, which is a trivial addition to the already step price from the airport.

Compared with other places, NYC air could be a LOT better. Taxis are getting the conversion tax. Take and busses are by definition a tiny fraction of the impact.

naive q: could one process perform the compilation, store the output in postgresql shmem, then each pg worker copy that code locally ? can plans be shared ? I might be mistaken but I thought each worker backend can (e.g.) be assigned to a

As a user, I want to support public discourse, mostly-free speech, etc and among large sites, Reddit strikes a better balance than sites like Twitter and Truth Social which tolerate people using them to commit real harm in the real world, o

...and whatever you do, do not eat a sheet of acid. Stuff is no joke and 100% you'll have a bad trip and 99% you'll end up needing medical care. I've known a few people who OD'd on hallucinogens - they were not the same,

-1: all large companies throw their market power around. There's nothing special about Apple in this regard.

the market is evaluating LLMs based on what's actually available. No GPT5 = users go elsewhere. GPT-4 has little "lock-in" and isn't "good enough" the keep users via inertia.

The headline implies a win, but I'm not so sure... $820K USD isn't a deterrent and to the plaintiffs, it's minus 100s of hours, distraction and legal fees which will be high given the complexity.

Friend of mine grew up in Malaysia and they'd get snakes of this length. Once a giant snake crossed the road and took up the entire width of the road. Others have reported similar. https://www.google.com/search?q=snake+

I love how HNers assume there are automated tests with any amount of test coverage. So cute! ...but grandpa, how did you know your code worked? Son, we didn't. <silence> (wait until they hear that source control wasn't use

The US doesn't want domestic chip production, it wants chip production that's not at risk of the Chinese. As a very reliable partner, Japan works fine for this purpose.

FTFY: nobody ever gets credit if they don't publicize their successes. By default, fixing problems before they happen doesn't make headlines, so you have to find clever ways to earn publicity. One politician classic: let it become

Deploy a fleet of unmanned drone subs with cameras, then use AI to filter for possibly-new creatures? Seems like you'd find 1000s...

I got in, no problem. Gemini Advanced (paid service) matches ChatGPT4 in my tests and wins in several, and has become my daily driver.

my theory: they're gearing up for the launch of RAG-type search, to compete with ChatGPT. Post-launch, it'll finally give answers instead of links.

I've been on-call for decades and 24x7 caregiver and it's not an issue, even in emergencies: 1. For non-emergencies, just use social media or email, which have better anti-spam filtration. 2. For most true emergencies, "hang
