If you aren't using ChatGPT-4 to the hilt and getting rate limited every night after work, wtf are you even doing right now? This is straight magic. Rewriting bio-infomatics on a whim in the last 20 minutes...
Sure, I have to double check stuff... but then I just have it...

1. He's probably not in the top 1%. Some dual doctor households are, but most aren't.
2. He is still probably in 96 or 97th % and can't manage money.
3. The billing plan still sucks.
They're all true.
@ellegist
Remove street parking and all the visibility issues vanish.
Then you discover that your neighbors really want street parking and don't care about kids.
@sweatystartup
The physics isn't wrong, but dear reader, this is a textbook example of tragedy of the commons.
There has been an arms race of people buying bigger and heavier vehicles and we are all 100% worse off because of it.
In a world where everyone drove golf carts, we'd all be safer.
@uneventomato
Nothing will prepare people for how terrible the office parks built over filled in wetlands are.
Parts of Santa Clara feel a little more built up, but again, it's like every low-rise office building at any randomly located interchange in the US.

- Gaza is on the coast, what's the water table at, like 20-50 feet?
- Have you ever tried to dig a tunnel? You're not going 60 feet down with hand tools
@ianzelbo
Look, an amount of RAM and a hard disk space that were standard 5-10 years ago in PCs!
Granted, build quality is a cut above, but seriously the base specs are pure price discrimination to get you to shell out $2-3k for something reasonably configured.

By polishing a rounded piece of glass...
- Hand magnifyer
Use that to get a backer make:
- reading glasses
- Microscope (which are quite simple)
Use microscope for germ theory of disease and push hand washing/vermin control campaigns
@uneventomato
I'm from the East Bay and it always amazes me how it looks like low rent garbage down there.
Then I remember it is all built on silt and mud and lots of the 2 story buildings shouldn't go higher.
@d_feldman
Absolutely no one understands macro v micro.
"Mining this asteroid would make me rich" != "the world economy grew"
The best thing to mine in space is water and metals because that makes space more habitable = growing the pie.

So uh, you guys think that posting a 5 mph lower speed limit is going to prevent *checks newspaper* 100mph speeding?
Why don't you make the road physically incapable of supporting 100mph speeds?
@robertwiblin
Optics are astonishingly simple and their results are themselves astonishing.
You can sell glasses to the wealthy and win over academics with microscopes and telescopes.
Demonstrate the planets. See microbes.
@bgalbs
Code. Is logic explained.
Code is "do this because Y". Asking it to code something from english is asking it to translate between english and logical imperatives.

@drvolts
I don't have time for that. Do you?
I will never buy a new car. Not because I can't afford one but because this kind of thing is so awful and predictable.

@Boenau
I had the same experience when my dad was in a temporary rehab facility from an injury: It's 1 mile from X city! And no sidewalk along a high-speed feeder road.
@caesararum
I'm in energy, the least sexy business.
Energy consumers are completely irrationally front-loaded towards price. They will purchase the cheapest AC regardless of long-run energy savings. They will sign the *worst* power purchase agreement that gives them a "free" install.

That intersection is 90 feet wide, what is she supposed to do in the 2 seconds that happened? Run an impossibly fast 100m dash?

That's not how price wars work.

He can go all the way down to market level and beyond and just wait for you to die.

Community spaces aren't even built anymore. They're practically against code.
- Town squares/fountains
- Traditional housing over cafes and other meeting places
Instead kids and young adults hang out in Walmart parking lots.
@nytimes
Maybe let's stop talking about Italy's experience and start talking about the experience of countries that have actually turned this around.
Let's talk about China and Korea.
@AmericanFietser
I drive a 2009 Camry.
The approximate monthly cost of operation is $270 and that includes insurance, depreciation, fuel, and a 3 year average of all repairs (annual ~3250).
I have never had a car payment.
These folks have holes in their wallets.
@bigmagicdao
The price of Bitcoin is set by demand for Bitcoin. It is independent of mining until mining interferes with core mechanics:
- Block time instability because of mining interefence
- 51% attack probably rising
Etc
@MikeXane1979
@AmericanFietser
None of that requires 25 year-old's to buy brand new or nearly new cars.
I do all that and more in a 2009 vehicle that costs me < 1/4 what those people are paying.

Once or twice a week you spend 15-20 minutes at the local grocery store instead of 90 minutes at Costco every two weeks.

I was today years old when I learned that. And I have been using task manager since 1995.
I feel like UI discoverability got better since then.

This is the note my old cat would need to leave when going to the vet or groomwrs.
He would get attacked by the other cat every time he came home.
@nytimes
(2+2) gets evaluated first. Then ÷ and × are equal precedence and therefore evaluated left to right. So it's 8 divided by 2 then multiplied by 4. Which is 16
@CartoonsHateHer
The concept of cultural appropriation is a very odd manifestation of white guilt in this country.
In most normal circumstances, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

The stakes are up.
Do nothing = ice caps melt
Do something = potential for massive changes in local solar radiation or acid rain (sulfur solution)

You can't disinherit your spouse and even property in someone's name is considered joint property if bought with assets from the marriage.

@gdb
- Brainstorming is easier ("ten ideas for X"
- Getting started is easier ("generate five different strategies/templates for X"
- Exploring new topics is easier ("Create a curriculum for X assuming I am a Y and know Z", "What could I be missing here?")
@83dollaroring
America is literally falling apart because 1) car infrastructure is very expensive 2) it is always beneficial for politicians to kick the can down the road on maintenance and 3) state of moderate wear is the equilibrium point for infrastructure
