It's not a matter of quality, it's a matter of preference. I don't own a car. I live three blocks from a bus stop and I Uber everywhere instead, because it's cheap and predictable. The buses are clean, they run on time,

Only on HN. In my actual life some of the tools I use have added the (yes, annoying) "Try our AI!" buttons but I haven't been anywhere near driven to blog about it. Sometimes it's even useful (Google Drive has handled th

Grading on perceived effort is not a rubric destined to last. You cannot detect sloppy work from beginner work without context, and in any case a lot of beginner work these days (and to some degree for the rest of time!) is going to include

Yes, in the US. Public transit does work well here, doing its part to commute the above categories of people around. Anyone who can afford to opts out because point-to-point travel is literally always better no matter where you are in the w

In case it wasn't clear my original comment was sarcasm. These are hard problems that are not solved by being funded, but people like to peek in the pockets of billionaires and ask why they haven't bought solutions yet. I have not

I agree, but at that point I'm in favor of just having a bus that carts drunks and druggies around the city and normal people have no expectation of using it. In my experience in a big city this is already how public transit is used.

See my other comment here but this is exactly my point. On a bus with dozens of strangers I have 0 recourse. In a car with someone who at least had to provide some kind of ID, I have more power. Consider that strangers just being present is

I am grateful and this is exactly my point. On a bus I am at risk of being assaulted by dozens of people who did not need to provide any ID to be there. In an uber or taxi I am likely to have recourse.

Yes, and I used to live within walking distance to several, and this has been the case everywhere I've lived in the US. However I don't even really think of walkability to grocery stores as a good metric for urban planning - I&#x2

HN has been happily very rude about anything AI related the last year, even in cases here where it's hardly relevant or appropriate. It's depressing and I used to expect a lot better.

Yeah the A and I in the last line are highlighted to hammer it home. I'm not sure where this ire comes from, I'm annoyed at seeing dumb AI gimmick features pushed everywhere too, but it has uses and doesn't seem to warrant th

And therefore no longer "as American as it gets".

Thankfully all of these problems are just money problems - price tags on a shelf no billionaire wants to pay apparently. If it turns out these are actually just hard problems, whoever will we blame?

If that happened to me in America I would count it as robbery.

I add "in America" to every post on here except the ones about EU tech regulations.

The former is what individual people are interested in solving. The latter is not on their minds outside of threads like this.

How has the US failed urban planning?

by llbbdd 1y ago
This has never happened to me in a taxi or Uber, and one such incident would be more than enough for me to never take public transit again.

You got some arguably rude replies to this but you're right. I've been doing this a long time and the stuff you listed is never the fun part despite some insistence on HN that it somehow is. I love programming as a platonic ideal

I'm confused, that's mostly the title of the linked original source?

Why avoid AI use? Genuine question, I see this around and it seems usually based on a mental model of the environmental cost of AI that does not match impact in the real world.

I don't disagree outright, but every time I read something like this it's obvious that it doesnt come from experiential success in the relevant area, just kind of a vibe about how things should be done, without tangible proof. IE

Photoshop is a funny example because it will actually warn you if you open up a file that looks like paper currency.
