"I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes." To read this and get upset is very bizarre to me. LLMs as most of the public kn

Unpopular opinion: Manufacturers like this model, in the sense that artists "like" ticketmaster. Dealerships take a lot of inventory and capital risk away from manufactures. Most (unlike Tesla) do not what to deal with retail cus

You write this as if there is one type of homeless and all we need to do is give homes. It is not this easy, sorry but you're wrong. It has been tried before and doesn't work long term in local areas. The situation is much more

Unpopular opinion: There will always be some amount of homeless in the US. No matter how much money, housing or healthcare we provide.

There used to be stories on HN where kids in SV earning good jobs would stay "homeless" and shower at Google type offices or a gym. It's a thing.

Why do you hate it it, because it goes against your preconditioning? I'd be happy to have new information.

100% and I've thought the same, bucketing all homeless into one group is not helpful. We should target families and individuals who just lost a job and became homeless, looking for work and a place to live. Then go down the list from

Much much faster, TCP is very slow and complicated (relatively). This can be sped up by not using the kernel using something talking directly to hardware.

The key to an inefficient government is taking money and redistributing it. How much does it cost to execute this whole plan? You end up taking a large percentage just to run the program with little to show for. It does make for great pol

That is assuming a constant efficiency ratio which has never existed.

I don't know of any place that is creating larger roads just for these huge (personal) trucks. Do you also have a problem with commercial trucks or just the people that chose personal trucks because they don't agree with your ideo

I disagree. At least where I'm at, small cars don't serve any better purpose. We have plenty of space and gas is relatively inexpensive. So I'd rather spend a few thousand more for a midsize or large car/suv than a mini

Probably? I don't know about that, there are many "rich kids" in manhattan, one of the noisiest places in the US.

Correct but if you're in a situation where this is a issue you probably know about it and can use POSIX versions that are more portable. Otherwise nobody thinks of it because most likely it is not being distributed.

Correct on the reliable UDP. I've seen a few implementations of a reliable UDP messaging stream (using multicast or broadcast). It uses a sequencer to ensure all clients receive the correct message and order. It can be extremely fast

Wait, how is offering driver less cabs penalizing all drivers? The only motivation I see that drives self-driving taxi development is reduced labor costs. But that isn't different than what has happened since the industrial revolution

You're not wrong but I do feel a bit guilty every time I give less than 5 stars. The rating system is so bad that you can't give any small feedback without serious negative financial consequences for the drivers. Basically anythi
