I remember New York mayor Michael Bloomberg taking a trip to London around a year after they implemented their congestion charge, since he wanted to do that too. Their mayor told him something like, “Everyone’s going to be protesting litera

Once AI’s can keep state, they’ll get all the training they need from humans just by talking with us.

From the guidelines: > please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait I think it would be in keeping with that to change the title to, “New Housing Units in Your Backyard Lower Your Rent”, though I don’t mean to bite

I don't think tests will work at all like that much longer; they'll be more like oral exams, where you have a back-and-forth conversation with an AI that probes the breadth and depth of your knowledge with sufficient variability a

This is why it doesn't matter if AI lets students cheat on essays: Essays will soon be obsolete — not just for students, but for everyone. The two main purposes of an essay are to teach others about something in your head, and to devel

I'm impressed at how not-awful the glasses look. I do wish there had been a real-life shot showing how the text appears to the wearer, though.

Back in the modem days, I tapped into the pins between my modem and computer’s serial port and put a speaker between RX and GND, with a switch of course so I could turn it on and off. When on, it would make data noises at a reasonable volum

It also sounded unmanageable the first time I heard the idea of consistently replicating databases across clusters in multiple availability zones, but ultimately the vast majority of tech companies nonetheless decide it's worth going t

Forgive the naive question, but why did so many companies put all their cash in one account instead of spreading it between two or more independent banks?

Brilliant. I’m actually surprised to see, nine years later, that this isn’t on track to make it into the next version of the C standard.
