Respectfully, this is not a useful frame for the discussion. Nobody is expecting to reach the limit you have noted either with or without the assistance of LLMs. So there is always more math that could be done.

Can we start with TUIs? At some point Claude code CLI stopped responding to the keys I had been using to scroll the presented plan and it seems only the mouse wheel works

IMHO it's about proximity. It's easier to be inhumane from a distance.

IMHO, the verbosity is an attempt to make the results more deterministic. The more specific the prompt, the less wiggle room.

That argument is letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

There is no perfect security.

I've set up a second user on my machine just for running AI. That way I have the additional layer of OS protections against it doing something like that.

I am saying there are unintended consequences to such changes. If all the grocery stores all at once raised prices 5%, your margins might turn negative. And most of your neighbors.

Some companies run at an extremely narrow margin. For example the margin for grocery stores is reportedly 1%. If you changed the tax system to tax gross revenues, now those stores would need to dramatically raise prices to accommodate.

It's not an easy problem.

Because if you are someone that generates good content you might not know anything about designing or hosting websites. But they can ask an AI to do it for them so they can focus on what they are good at, generating interesting content.

An important part of my observation is that everyone is using them, not just that they are available

I wonder if the real difference is that everyone has earbuds versus playing through a speaker

One part of me wishes for multiple levels of logical commits.

When using GH we essentially have one level. The PR is the like a roll-up commit and then we have the component commits it consists of.

It would be nice to be able to say this commit consists of N component commits. Then users can expand or collapse the commits depending on what level of detail they want.

So user A who likes to keep a record of how they actually went through the process with all the warts can have those "messy" commits as component. And user B who likes to see a coherent story told by the commits without unnecessary steps can look at the higher level commit.

But also, git is complicated enough so maybe not.

people have been making similar predictions about the US and soccer since I was a kid. Youth soccer is incredibly popular yet...

> the safe drawdown rate of 4% per year

IIRC this rate is based on some standard retirement length (like 30 years), not forever.

> Manhattan Scalpers won't leave unsold seats to a game like this

In this situation, it is unlikely that is it scalpers with the really desirable court side seats that fetch the highest value. It is season ticket holders and people with connections. The price you see is essentially, "it's going to cost you this much to make me miss watching my team in the championship".

For the other seats that were available to the general public, sure, it's likely scalpers as with any other event.

> Most of these tickets will go unsold I'm sure.

The tickets have already been sold. These postings are for resales.

Yes, technically payroll taxes are not income taxes.

And people who that x number of people do not pay income tax are implying they are paying no federal taxes when that is not true. It is a disingenuous argument.

People who complain about people not playing income taxes ignore payroll taxes.

I feel sad that what I think of as the obvious solution, companies using subdomains like internal.microsoft.com instead of making a million different domains, is so far from happening that no one here on HN has even brought it up.

Accessibility, if I am not mistaken

I believe the grandparent is referring to the US Senate, which was designed as the state's representation in the federal government, and where each state gets 2 senators.

This means that California gets 2 senators but so do Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, etc.

Now, the conclusion of the grandparent does not follow in my opinion.

Nothing in the constitution mandates the current state boundaries. California could break itself into multiple states (there is a population minimum) and gain more representation in the senate if it wanted.

But there are trade offs. California is a huge prize in the electoral college and has been a safe Democrat win for quite some time. Splitting into multiple states could jeopardize that. Being large also allows them to lead the way on regulation in a way that smaller states couldn't.

The US government is quite the game theory problem.

They are talking about the price on the shelf vs the price at the register. The price tag on the shelf has information identifying the product. The price at the register is obviously associated to the bar code on the product. So there's no way for a consumer to swap price tags from one product to another.

I think the common use of the term capitalist is as a participant in capitalism.

This is distinct from someone who is a proponent of capitalism as a system, which appears to be the way you are using capitalist. For which I don't blame you.

> I'm not convinced it's actually safer to have kids in the back.

I thought that a major reason for placing children in back seat was because of the air bags in the front seat representing a danger to them when they deploy.

(But maybe kids don't trigger the weight needed to activate the passenger side air bag anymore?)

AA displays the boarding time in the app instead of the departure time once the flight gets close enough (like same day)

>If they printed the exact time boarding starts and people showed up then (and later), no flight would ever board on time

I don't understand the logic. If everyone is there at the stated boarding time and the airline has correctly allocated enough time for boarding, aren't they winning?

can anyone recommend similar hardware compatible with linux? that also supports the three fingered drag and other stuff mentioned in the article?
