This sort of risk analysis is always baffling to me. I live in a big city. It feels like there is some near miss collision to me almost every week. 99.99% of the time it's because of human drivers, not automated systems. It's virt

Most high efficiency gas cars are far quieter than electric cars with the required noise makers these days. Pedestrian warning noises should also apply to gas cars.

I don't know who is doing the reposting, but the only party that seems to benefit from that sort of thing would be reddit. Why would a 3rd party do that?

A lot of comments here about AI, but if you actually looked at the source material you'd see that what is shown is a verbatim copy of a thread of user comments using new accounts. This is not an example of an LLM generating AI content,

Most "non-oop" languages like Go and Rust have all of this. They also generally have interfaces. What they don't have is inheritance, which I think is what really differentiates OOP from structs with interfaces.

Structs with functions and interfaces retains most of the good parts of OOP. I agree that inheritance seems to be more trouble than it's worth.

Yes, there is far too much ambiguity in these licenses. Especially because you never know what will happen in the future. You could be found to be in competition after they launch a new product or new feature, years after not being in compe

ML has already succeeded to the point that it is ubiquitous and taken for granted. OCR, voice recognition, spam filters, and many other now boring technologies are all based on ML. Anyone claiming it’s some sort of snake oil shouldn’t be ta

I don’t see how it’s bait and switch. You can still used and develop against the last open version. In fact, we’ve seen recent examples of that in Terraform and Redis. Open source does not mean you are entitled to all future improvements un

I strongly suspect that humans ingesting only output of other humans in a vacuum, e.g. social media without any other feedback mechanisms, suffer exactly the same degradation. Outside of social media like bubbles, human learning in fact has

Subjective experience is not a benchmark that you can measure success against. Also, of course new models are better on some set of benchmarks. Why would someone bother releasing a "new" model that is inferior to old ones? (Aside

I think that exclusivities are a huge source of market problems in general. They are often used in these ways to create sorts of monopolies and drive prices artificially high. Beatport, a service that sells music for DJs, has started doing

WebOS is great, at least it lives on in LG products for now. I far prefer it to android, despite the vastly smaller ecosystem.

I remember investing in Palm thinking that they'd eventually be the ones to build something like the iphone. Sadly, they didn't and when apple did that was it for them.

The context of this thread is travel between major economic hubs. So if you are in say Rome, it does not take 30 min to get to the station. Also, the OPs wording made it sound rare, especially given his claim that it is rare, but the exampl

This is definitely not true. Europes high speed trains are far far faster than driving. For example, Rome to Milan via italo is 3h - 3h 40min while driving is 6h. Even the "normal high speed" train is only ~5h. Similarly Marseille

Nor is it due to the existence of shell companies. Rather it's due to poor enforcement and loopholes in tax law. You also don't need to make any of the information public to enforce it anymore than it's required to make your

I'd say at least 80% of my maps usage is looking for restaurants or coffee shops and checking their reviews. Directions are maybe 20% or less. Apple has come a long way and their maps are good for directions, but not a good fit for the

I am willing to pay for good content, and do, but still often have little choice. E.g. I can't pay for google maps without ads. And no, it's not a reasonable take to suggest I not use any map app. I also pay for online news, AND S
