At the same time NYC and Toronto, we are removing protected bike lanes. In North America the acceptable amount of lives per year to sacrifice for a little convenience for drivers is above zero, and apparently rising.

Not sure about the law, but if you memorize and quote bits of a book and fail to attribute them, you could be accused of plagiarism. If for example you were a journalist or researcher, this could have professional consequences. Anthropic is

All of the behavioral analysis stuff going on in the background makes me wonder if big accessibility problems are brewing. If we're looking at how naturally keystrokes are input, what does that mean for someone who uses dictation tools

And that's a population of millions admittedly including many minors and major barriers to thriving, but overall far fewer elderly or disabled people than the general population. Boosting immigration is only an economic drag if you str

When is the last time any of these things have improved? Gmail and Maps are excellent but static. Is it inconceivable that competitors could match that level of service if they didn't have to compete on unfair terms, where Google'

A problem with accounting for "above average" service is sometimes I don't want it. If a driver goes above and beyond, offering a water bottle or something else exceptional, occasionally I would rather be left alone during a

Aren't the only Thinkpads with displays in the 4k neighborhood 16-inches? The 14-inch Macbooks are 3024*1964 and have all been like that for a while. I don't know why the PC world (and Linux ready by extension) undervalues high DP

I applaud the community building you've done, but the wealthy SF tech set is never beating the 'reinventing things that already exist' allegations. This is basically a block party only quiet.

Couldn't you satisfy the patterns Friedman identifies just by having perpetually renewable work visas and a path to full citizenship after an arbitrary time like 10 years?

This video is delightful! I wish Sony were just a fraction as innovative and engineering-driven as they used to be.

Both of kinds of language describe the same reality? The first sounds aspirational, and the second acknowledges where power lies. Maybe you would feel less alienated if you put effort into organizing to raise the minimum wage, for example.

You might not be giving enough credit to the complexity of industrial labor. Industry tends to imply that the humans are a fallible part of a mechanical system, but the skill and culture of manufacturing laborers could be just as complex as

This is a compelling framework. While the author mostly applies it to examples of physically hazardous accidents, it could just as easily describe the lead up to economic crashes or other less tandible disasters.

Is there a pager model sophisticated enough to accept remote firmware updates (or whatever condition for a software exploit) but lacking a battery protection IC? Otherwise wouldn't sabotage elsewhere in the chain be more likely?

Or people resent the major privacy issues, inconsistent UX, and deprioritization of what they see as needed features, all to add a few hugely hyped but minimally useful AI features.

Are there agreed upon neutral auditors or common processes for auditing models? If not, maybe what we need is (gasp!) some governmental oversight.

Humans can be asked to explain their decissions and personally take accountability for them. Even if AI processes were less biased, using them introduces the opacity of relying on models that simply can't be fully intuited or explained

Just wondering... if in your describing community and culture are the valuable features of Israeli daily life, why aren't more people interested in a single state solution? Tel Aviv seems like a thriving, resilient hub. Would it be so

This kind of gets at the root of the problem. Take away cars, and the whole North American built environment is just not worth as much as the pyramid scheme of real estate we have in place of social safety nets.

I think your final point is key. Apart from curb weight, the reason to emphasize EVs might be just to remind people that they're not a panacea for the environmental collapse we're speeding towards. Instead of inventivizing car-fre
