This whole thread is 100% correct. Zoning, rezoning, related points are all correct. One minor correction though, the megacities where the comment mentions zoning being better is in most cases only tr…

There are few phones these days with 8000mah -> 10000mah. Personally, I only buy a new phone if the battery life improves with a weight increas of a smaller factor. So I'm looking forward to b…

It's an age thing. People right out of college tend to eat out more and in general use city-only amenities more. We are also over-represented in online forums.

In the classic FDE model palantir pioneered, one of the main features was that you would use your learnings from one customer and integrate that back into your in house product, so that similar custom…

Unlike the app store, there is no 30% fee. And also. No chargebacks, so it's simple for merchants as well.

Another classic. About the X11 selection mechanism https://github.com/porridgewithraisins/x11cp/blob/main/rant …

Yes this. Anytime a SaaS supports UPI Autopay, I'm 10-100x more likely to subscribe. For context: it's basically a recurring payment but you open the Autopay section in Google pay or whichev…

Funnily enough, I have my agent use vim sometimes. I prefer commits to be granular to the extent that I manually edit the patch in git add -p, albeit rarely. So I have a pty plugin that my agent liter…

There is one thing to note here. The fact that it is more token efficient will itself lead it to be smarter since the context will be smaller for the same task. However, in opus models, you'll ha…

It would have been in a different tone had it been human written. In fact, if it had not been written with AI, there is no chance SVD gets called the fancy "engine behind image compression",…

Yea, people have tried for decades to ban deepavali fireworks here in india with zero effect. It's simply not enforceable. The police themselves burst.

After that "audio player that lays out the file in contiguous memory to avoid cpu jitter" example from above, this one is my new favourite audiophile trope. "cheap clock on the computer…

cperciva moment right here

And, > This is the engine behind image compression SVD+truncate (or any other low rank approximation) is absolutely not used in any real image compression. Of course, it is a popular classroom proj…

Considering how my second paragraph was ignored, I assume you own stock in major companies either directly or through indices, thus making you a capital owner that makes money from other people's…

Exactly. The original comment in this thread asked if most tech workers here are part of the capital class themselves. Which was answered by saying that if you're employed by someone else, you ar…

Eh? Which tech company doesn't give RSUs to fresh grads? Startups of course give options. And how many american middle class+ (generalizing beyond tech workers) don't own equity?

"I define things so that I'm in the good set and _they_ are in the bad set". It's also utterly deranged even when you just consider that most tech workers get compensated with stoc…

Bigger picture truths don't justify smaller picture lies.

Yep. A lot of such people use words in order to elicit the reaction a legitimate use of said words would get, because they don't want the usually more muted reaction/attention using the corr…

I know it's against the rules, but oh my this reminds of me a certain other popular forum site in its heyday.

Every couple of months typically I do an arch linux update and reboot. But that is about it. I do hibernate sometimes though, and that is pretty much the same final state power-wise as doing a shutdow…

The old taxi union+licensing+bully hybrid system common in many parts of the world was far worse than the cruelest thing uber could do.
