What is the purpose of this "warning"?

I think this post should be removed. Contact the FBI if you think there has been a crime.

etcd··on Uber Will Now Take You from Manhattan to LaGuardia for $18
> The catch: You share a van with strangers and can only leave from specific locations

So... a bus. More accurately an airport shuttle. Is this satire?

Next up: Uber Self Drive. Reserve a car for as long as you want for $20k payment as a loan, partially refundable on exit. The catch? You need to drive yourself and fill up yourself.

etcd··on How to Track Your Engineering Work
I think this is a human habit issue not a tech one. You could use vim, emacs, vscode, notepad++, confluence, onenote, notion, notes app, email yourself, google docs, google sheets, microsoft todo, google calendar etc.

But you need a brain system to motivate you to do it. Which means knowing why you want to do it but also getting into habits. And repicking uo the habit time and time again after it gets dropped because life happened.

You have provided some nice kettlebells, but one still needs to go to the gym regularly to use them!

etcd··on Hopping too many startups in a row?
When you hop, at least get promoted. That way it paints a better picture. If you can honestly say that job C has more responsibility than B and B than A (even if same title) that is good too.

One option is to work for a large company with more opportunities negating the need to hop due to it going bad financially and more room to go up levels etc.

etcd··on OO Language in 5000 lines of C++
Is this open source?
etcd··on Ask HN: What tools do you use to manage your freelance projects?
Does ChatGPT have storage options now? Seems like you would need that unless you paste the output into a doc and reupload it.

Trello is good for the kanban side of things.
etcd··on How to do distributed locking (2016)
I guess this is embarassingly parralelizable in that you can shard by concert to different instances. Might even be a job for that newfangled cloudflare sqlite thing.
etcd··on Origin of 'Daemon' in Computing
Always thought it was because it denotes a process that stays alive and so is like a little living demon in your computer.
etcd··on Ask HN: I have 24 core server with 1TB of DDR4 RAM, what should I run?
Do some AI research that takes advantage of those characteristics.
etcd··on Ask HN: I have 24 core server with 1TB of DDR4 RAM, what should I run?
I hear that quantum computing can run all the tabs in parallel.
etcd··on Time: Yes, it's a dimension, but not like space
What is our current speed?
etcd··on Time is a dimension, but not like space
We have the sun to provide us with low entropy energy and the atmosphere to dissipate high entropy energy, so stuff tbat happens on earth can be lowering in entropy possibly. Climate change excepted.
etcd··on Blocking code is a leaky abstraction
WPF was the same IIRC
etcd··on Language is not essential for the cognitive processes that underlie thought
With the drugs were you able to be more efficient for example code quicker, or was it more like better insights. Or perhaps both?
etcd··on AI engineers claim new algorithm reduces AI power consumption by 95%
True. A laptop power pack wattage is probably pretty much unchanged over 30 years for example.
etcd··on AI engineers claim new algorithm reduces AI power consumption by 95%
Mitochondria are all you need.

Should be able to go more efficient as the brain has other constraints such as working at 36.7 degrees C etc.

I feel like I have seen this idea a few times but don't recall where but stuff posted via HN.

Here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41784591 but even before that. It is possibly one of those obvious ideas to people steeped in this.

To me intuitively using floats to make ultimatelty boolean like decisions seems wasteful but that seemed like the way it had to be to have diffetentiable algorithms.

etcd··on Knocker uppers: Waking up the workers in industrial Britain (2016)
One should be enough to wake a million people, with fan out.
etcd··on Knocker uppers: Waking up the workers in industrial Britain (2016)
The waker uppers are up all night. Were there no alarm clocks at all? Can't a grandfather clock wake the waker upper?

FORTH would be a good language despite its name starting with F.
