> many copies

Specifically 8 copies -- which I absolutely agree counts as "many copies" for what it was!

> noise could be faked/randomized with a speaker

That already sounds more complex than a door IMO

The secondary barrier would have to be between the cabin and the lavatory, so that the pilot can go to from the cockpit to the lavatory on their side of the barrier. So I imagine that whenever the pilot is not about to or actively using the lavatory that barrier would be left open so that passengers can access it.

Some (all?) U.S. domestic airlines currently have this exact system in place, except with a flight attendant standing guard between the first row of seats and the galley/lavatory/cockpit, starting just before the pilot opens the cockpit door. I have no idea if this has been a regulation thing or just a thing I notice the airlines I fly do, but this physical barrier would probably follow the same usage pattern as the current meat-based barrier.

If it's a retro-reflector, how's all the footage on the site showing that images are appearing outside the retroreflective area and on top of the tracking markers?

I have a fantastic, well-fitting rain shell, and comfortable waterproof shoes. Rain is absolutely no problem for me, but the general inconvenience of it all (wet exterior, wet face, etc) and temperatures are still enough to make me vastly prefer the transit option compared to a slightly longer walking option.

With the amount of rain we get (or just cold or brisk or misty weather in general) for 3/4 of the year, even if the transit option is only 16 minutes (inclusive of the bookend walks, according to Google Maps), it's still infinitely preferable to walking 20 minutes in that weather.

We get quarterly pamphlets in the mail by Sound Transit detailing the latest updates on the subway construction projects and reading these pamphlets is one of the few moments where I really confront the concept of mortality. The years annotated on certain lines opening stretch into the mid 2040s!

I'm a huge supporter of rapid transit in our area and it just breaks my heart to see our (best-case) pace of construction, especially when I go and look at European and Asian rapid transit projects.

Yeah. I saw this announcement, and searched both "chatgpt" and "open ai" (sic, as auto-suggested) in the App Store and gave up scrolling looking for it. The unofficial app logos look waaaay closer to the ChatGPT logo than the official white logo does, and the SEO (ASO?) seems poor. Not sure what either party can do about it though, but it's a disappointing situation.

I think they meant to write 100,000,000. I was about to say that sounds insanely low, because I have 15k songs "Liked" on Spotify and there's no way I've liked 15% of practically all songs.

Oh hell yes! I downloaded my GDPR dump a few months ago with the intent of analyzing it like this but never got around to it. Gonna fire this up now.

On the topic of ChatGPT code projects, way I recently made another evening side project[1] using ChatGPT. I found a really nice pattern to use with it is to use one commit per ChatGPT iteration (including commits where it breaks the program, just don't push to main until it's good again). And in each commit, I store the full prompt or reply I said to ChatGPT as a prompt.txt[2]. I'll probably tack it onto the commit description next time for ease of reading. But other friends have found this really useful to be able to see exactly how I+ChatGPT evolved the software with each commit, and I can look back and reference useful prompting patterns I used.

This is so fun! I'd have loved this as a kid. Brilliant idea.

By the time I had read "naloxone was patented in 01961" I thought it was some sort of patent identifier, so I was really confused when they said that it was "known to prevent death from opiate" in some other patent. I was thinking, patents don't have anything to do with researc- oh, it's a date.

I remember seeing someone else on HN use a five digit date years ago, giving the reasoning that it gives us a bigger perspective on our timeline and society.

I like the idea, but it muddies the message since we use standards for a reason. For example, if someone writes "In 13 I tried..." it's a bit confusing, but if they write "In '13 I tried..." it makes immediate sense since we have expectations about communicating dates.

The parking spots at Pike Place dwarf in comparison to the crowds the market serves. Here's a maps screenshot[1] where I've highlighted the parking available there[2]. Meanwhile the market serves ~10m annual pre-pandemic visitors[3], which averages to 27k daily visitors. The amount of visitors coming in by car are negligible.

The two supermarkets I use most in downtown all have parking underground and are optimized for pedestrians.

Do the vendors specifically want cars as a whole, or specifically their cars and delivery vehicles? We could allow just the latter, and prohibit cars that aren't in service of the market. Similar to the "Healthy Streets." The rules won't be 100% honored of course, but it'd likely reduce a substantial amount of the traffic there. Especially if towing is on the table for non-Market-affiliated cars parked there.

Me three. I happen to have a strong friend group, but being single and living alone, the first few months of the pandemic were miserable from a solitary confinement standpoint. Even in recent years if I have to WFH for any reason, it's just the worst thing. Plus I'm just not productive when I'm working home alone.

I'm extremely thankful that my company is mostly comprised of people who prefer and thrive working in our one office. And no, I'm not using my coworkers as my friend group. Despite loving some of my work friends, my strongest friends are all outside the office. But the office environment and the people in it give me life.

When it comes time to look for a next job (if ever), the biggest requirement by far will be a working environment that's mostly, if not entirely, in office.

I'm 27 for reference, but I've felt this way ever since the start of my career.

Because they're making commentary on the sentence in the form the sentence took. Gender is unrelated.

Anyone who finds this topic and/or scuba diving to be interesting might enjoy Gareth Lock's book "Under Pressure," which adapts learnings in human factors from aviation safety and other sports to scuba diving -- which has also been going through similar shifts in thinking over the years.

I really meant within the right context, which would be western folks in tech talking about notable people in the industry, and likely have mentioned Google at some point in the conversation. Sergey isn't a common name among the notable in western tech.

Elon is even more unique of a name to western ears, so I was just pointing out that another (yet less unique) name also gets the first-name treatment.

For more examples, I'd say Satya Nadella also gets 50/50 first/last name treatment in casual conversation.

It's a pretty unique first name, and I feel like people (online, and IRL) refer to him by either first or last name 50% of the time.

Sergey Brin also comes to mind. Unique name, people don't really say "Brin". Just Sergey, given the correct context.

I don't think this is a case of people thinking they're "best buds with the man," like when people rarely referred to Jobs as "Steve."

Have it output a small essay, then ask it to critique the essay, then fix it based on the critiques. Do that a few times and it'll be fairly improved.

One of the main reasons I'm super into Rivian's aesthetic -- which is super controversial! I love the R1 front end, it just looks like it's happy to be there :)

Oceanic+ uses Bühlmann[0], and even lets you adjust your gradient factors! That last bit surprised me.

Is it not just a matter of supporting contactless NFC payment, such as most physical cards these days?

That's not correct, nothing about our org structure changed before, during, or after Alyx. We're still totally flat, desks on wheels.

I pass one on my commute on probably half of all days. I wave to them from my own R1T. There's dozens of us!

It does calculate emergency deco stops, and I believe TTS, and so on, but it's only designed for recreational diving.

I wasn't tuning in to the livestream but ten friends simultaneously messaged me about this watch since I'm "the scuba diving friend." I currently dive with a Shearwater Perdix which syncs to Shearwater's phone and desktop apps with detailed dive info and graphs, and supports cloud-synced dive logs and equipment notes. It also syncs with a wireless transmitter attached to my tanks to plot my air consumption over the course of the dive. Because of all of this, I can't exclusively use the Apple Watch as my dive computer.

That said, it's not uncommon to dive with multiple computers for redundancy if performing multiple dives in a day, and I'm sure Apple's iOS UI for viewing their dive log will be easier to bring up in a pinch than the Shearwater app, which is a clunky Unity app. I'll probably buy it and dive with both.

But I don't imagine existing avid divers will exclusively be using the Apple Watch as a dive computer until it has air integration and dive log notes (if not already). But for casual divers who dive once a year on vacation and don't already have a computer? This is probably an excellent feature.

This kind of work is also fantastic for those who have limited mobility or use of hands. On top of that, it's also a comforting peace of mind for the rest of us that should we ever e.g. lose our hands in a car collision, we might still have a successful path forward in our programming careers and passions.

Reminds me of a talk I once saw where a developer developed arthritis and couldn't program effectively anymore, so he developed an almost "verbal vim" plugin for vim (or was it emacs?) that allowed him to write/edit code quickly using verbal utterances. I forget what that project was, but I wonder how these two compare.
