10h later and I'm still not getting it here in Spain, even with a Pro plan...

Has. I can confirm.

You found the smoking gun!

Well, I'm glad I used all my tokens earlier today... It was a good run.

Spread across a city probably more than you think, especially if you include parking tickets. I've never had a driving ticket, and maybe 4 parking ones over decades, but I'm probably on the lower end of the curve. In their first 40 days of operation, Oakland's speed cameras issued 82,000 tickets according to reports. I welcome those as they make streets safer, and I think they should be low cost, but high frequency.

I use https://steplimit.com/ to both cure my Reddit addiction and to walk more. You earn minutes on your tracked app(s) by walking. If you run out of minutes, either stop scrolling or go for a walk. It's so simple and so effective.

In my time I heard some people called this the "Tower Records effect". If the workplace is cool enough (record store, video game company, rock band), enough kids will want to work there that the employer can pay peanuts and won't run out of applicants.

If this story is true, this is definitely a step in the wrong direction, but comparing freedom of Germany and China in those terms takes some special kind of mind bending.

Yes, same here. The title hasn't aged well, I suppose.

Not if you treat it as a magical box that fixes things on its own. We're a tiny team and our process has improved a lot thanks to processing AI reviews and learning common patterns. It gets tiring to get the same feedback over and over so humans learn.

I find it hilarious that your comment has an emdash.

I guess the value of the tool is that it gives you that same benefit for the cost of a few tokens.

"Don't be evil" they used to say.

More eyes, more chances that someone will actually use the tools. Also, the tools and how you use them are not all the same.

Not working on it yet but planning some projects with the kids: - A candy classifier with Arduino for Halloween (the goal is to have trick-or-treaters choose their preferred candy and have the machine sift it out automatically) - A board game based on the idea of fog-of-war, details undecided - An app to reduce screen time

It's gotten to the point that I don't open emails from Sendgrid support because 4 out of 5 are poorly disguised phishing attempts.

I've heard the same from South Indian friends, so I guess it's pretty widespread.

This is neat but my OCD brain is hurting. I suspect a location based sorting, where most-recently-used boxes are near the top, or closer to your workstation, solves the same problem without the visual clutter.

Congratulations! Mine was intentional, back in college, where all PCs had open telnet in order to facilitate cooperation. We discovered it was easy to seize someone's computer for a while, and then watch them look around for the culprit, which we thought was hilarious. Boy were we annoying.

Yes! As a beginner-level, amateur armchair economist who hated philosophy class in high school, I have to admit I was surprised to learn about this when reading https://store.abramsbooks.com/products/economix by Michael Goodwin. The book overall seems to lean liberal whenever there's a political choice to be made, and yet it paints Adam Smith in a much more positive light that one would imagine, if all you've learned about him is the criticism of today's political left.

A really fun book, also!

It's possible. At that time people were talking about Go as the next frontier (that didn't last long). IMO, the game is the same, and for 99.9999% of folks who ever play it, whether a computer can beat the best human is irrelevant in how fun it is to play.

So you want yes-men in your team?

Ironically I had a very smart and otherwise reasonable math professor who, shortly after Kasparov lost to Deep Blue, said in class that chess was no longer interesting.

Yes, that made me sad. I just got into Arduino. I guess I'll have to stop now!

It means that the consequences of politics will impact you, even if you don't think about politics in the first place.

In Athens, an "idiotes" was a citizen who focused only on private matters rather than participating in the polis (city-state). Because civic participation was considered a duty, this term carried a negative connotation of being socially irresponsible or uninvolved.

This term evolved into the modern "idiot" which we are familiar with.

No, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptonomicon#Technical_conten...

It was in a passage where some secondary character was in a prison cell and managed to spy on the screen across the wall using the technique.

The problem IMO is the transition period. A mostly safe system will make the driver feel at ease, but when an emergency occurs and the driver must take over, it's likely that they won't be paying full attention.

I first learned about this while reading Cryptonomicon. It seemed too fantastical to be a real thing.

People pay for that these days in smash rooms.
