It is typical for urban planning departments to conduct studies concluding paid parking is the answer when free parking is the dominant form of public parking and later conduct studies concluding that free parking is the answer a generation into paid parking schemes.
Of course, neither is the answer to anything but "we must do something, this is something, therefore we must do it."
Even with aggressive content moderation to reject CSAM-related materials, report to authorities, block users, and include it in the ToS
If you cannot afford lawyers, you cannot afford even minimal moderation.
You are simply going to be outgunned and insufficiently motivated relative to the expected adversaries who do what they do all day everyday with years of experience and more time and more money.
That is why so many businesses that seem naively obvious don’t exist.
Rural Alaska is by and large very very remote. Often small plane is the only practical access and then only in favorable weather.
Recruiting teachers to remote villages with extreme weather is hard and if you are at US university training to be a teacher you will probably have other options that are more attractive as a young person.
Yes, I mean there is basically one road to Alaska and from the nearest major US city (Seattle) it is 3600km to Anchorage…about the same distance as Barcelona to Moscow but entirely through sparsely or unpopulated wilderness.
And Seattle is a long way from most of the US…another 3300km from Chicago.
There are three articles about Steve Jobs. To me LLM's are a more intellectually interesting cargo-cult than that cult of personality cargo-cult, but YMMV.
In 2011 the iPhone was ~4 years old and iPads were ascendant as the only tablet game in town. Google was still playing catch up with Android as a knock-off, having just debuted Android Honeycomb.
The actual topics are:
- the Apple campus that is still unique today
- a rectification of an urban legend about Jobs and Knuth
- a clip showing Jobs was prescient in the late 90s about personalized cloud tech
Dismissing the focus on Jobs as a cult of personality is a mistake, he was simply very influential, and so was Apple at this time.
Meanwhile LLMs are the antithesis of the Jobsian style: just cramming pirated data into a model and reselling it as fake intelligence without real source attribution.

Because Ticketmaster has been a force in the market for decades (at least since the 1980’s), the simplest market based explanation is that using Ticketmaster is often obviously the economically rational choice.
For example, many people who dislike Ticketmaster choose to buy tickets through Ticketmaster rather than exercise their alternatives. The same is true for performers and venues.
Because that is how markets work.
Any potential competitor has to do some, many. or all the things Ticketmaster does…not the least of which is staying in business…and that’s non-trivial.
Or at least that is what ordinary market economic theory strongly suggests.
Minor nit: Fastest ever recorded ball bowled was 100 mph. I believe you were thinking 150 kmph.
Also, if we're talking about street/amateur cricket, or even higher-level cricket a couple of levels removed from international, you are rarely going to have rockets hurled at you. Most will be 120 kmph tops.
The Mexican Primera favors a unique type of athlete…players who can regularly play at 10,000 feet (3000m) because many matches are played in and around Mexico City. And other clubs are also above 5000 feet.
Add in daytime heat, night cold, humidity and smog and you get a very different practical reality that shapes the pace and tactics of the Primeria and soccer culture in general. In turn that shapes who succeeds as a soccer playing athlete.
Not clear what you are asking, but at the international level Azteca is notoriously advantageous…of course top European sides never visit so there’s no general empirical data.
And you won’t get much more from the world cup because the only ceded European side favored to play at Azteca is England in the round of 8.
In a Turing machine theory, a GUI application can do all the same things a terminal application can do.
In practical design, GUI applications inevitably deprecate keyboard abstractions in favor of graphical abstractions and graphical abstractions require parsing visual representations and are less conducive to "muscle memory" whenever pointer control is relative rather than absolute (which these days is approximately always [1]).
Keyboard oriented applications feel more like a language and human brains tend to map well to language and touch typing while GUI's rely on something akin (or identical) to hand-eye coordination. Hand-eye coordination is harder than touch typing and every GUI application requires developing a unique mental model.
[1] in the ancient days of digitizing tablets with absolute coordinates, it was possible to "touch mouse." But that's not how we do things today (and it would not work well with infinite scrolling, etc.)
Links to HN on Techmeme, and I was on Techmeme because I was interested in memes.
I was interested in memes because I had read Daniel Dennitt's Consciousness Explained back in the mid 1990's and was on the internet looking at them because the meme meme had become more mainstream.
Or to put it another way, I found HN through intellectual curiosity as a distraction from my practice collapsing in the sub-prime meltdown...it was long ago in a galaxy far far away.
Of course, neither is the answer to anything but "we must do something, this is something, therefore we must do it."
