Easily 10x smaller than the Bay (unless you count defense contracting as tech). It's still California so all the usual things like NIMBY zoning and prop 13 ruin the built environment. That being said, a lot of LA was built before the 8

Irvine is where all the tech is in orange county and tbh you might as well just live in the south bay if you want the Irvine lifestyle.

It's a python3-tier ask to move everyone off LaTeX and I'm not sure HTML rendering is worth it. Yeah the syntax of typist looks nice but that's just not a big advantage anymore.

by rcpt 1y ago
But how is typist better?
217.
by rcpt 1y ago
Sure but if the LLMs are making LaTeX easy to work with then why bother trying migrate everyone to a new language?
218.
by rcpt 1y ago
It's been a decade since I wrote anything in LaTeX and I echo all it's pain points. But it seems like LaTeX is the kind of thing that LLMs would nail perfectly. I feel like using it today wouldn't be very bad.

Difference between this and Cruise or Uber is that Elon is in charge of regulation. A driverless Tesla could plow through a farmer's market and service wouldn't even stop for the afternoon.

You're absolutely correct on this but because of the point you're making they've downvoted you into the grey

Are you actually curious or were you just trying to make a gotcha against congestion pricing? I ask because the "only rich people" criticism of NYCs project has been beaten into the dirt and discussed at nearly every level of poli

We were going to release something like this in California but environmental groups killed it. I've been having some success with "mosquito dunks" in buckets here in Los Angeles but unless the neighbors do it to we still get

One of the things that I think gets overlooked is sample bias. People in their 50s who are engineers often started coding in the 90s. And back then it was a much less common career path.

I also had one of those drivers who would sleep in traffic. I assumed he was very sleepy deprived and it was stressing me out while we went over hwy 17 in Santa Cruz

How about being forced to stay put forever in the same two story 4 bedroom house in a busy job center?

Wait you don't have homeless seniors where you live? Here in California they are everywhere. This is despite Prop 13 and all the laws on top of it that are designed to keep seniors in their forever homes. Feels like maybe handouts to r

Members of the community have incentives to prevent high speed rail and apartment towers being built near them. The general population has incentives to build high speed and apartment towers in those neighborhoods. But, because of community

Community input is bad. Maybe in the 50s things were different. But that was a long time ago and the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction. Robert Moses could not build today. Nobody can build today. Largely because we have

Maybe the EU is different but in the US there's no software engineering union. Our wages are purely what the market dictates. Think they're too high? You're free to start a company and pay less.

Do you have some statistics? Because there really does seem to be a change in immigration enforcement lately and multiple universities have issued guidance accordingly.

Sure they're not popular like Beyonce is but look at the map https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_St... Those were all voted in. It's a type of tax that people are happy with for whatever

"Even alon levy" is worded to sound like "all the experts" but if you read the article it's clear that he's taking a minority opinion. And that's because he's wrong. The US spends huge amounts on car

How did you get those numbers? Based on the article and my searching around Llama 3.1: ~0.7 to 1.5 grams of CO2 Rolling coal event: ~10,000 to 100,000+ grams of CO2
