I don’t know. They typically read entirely differently to me, in the sense that what I would expect to see after clicking the link is different.
I admit though the in this case “What is AGI?” better matches expectation to reality. Before I noticed the domain, “What the f*ck is AGI?” would have led me to expect more of a technical blog post with a playful presentation rather than the review article it actually is.
I agree with blooalien - that's a great point. To me it doesn't feel quite enough to overcome the baity/provocative effects, but since several commenters have made good points about this, I we might as well put the original title back.
I've kept "f*ck" in the title since that's in the original and arguably adds some subtlety in this case. Normally we'd replace it with the real word since we don't like bowdlerisms.
It does yes but more like in a bad mood. A teenager who is rolling their eyes and making a comment because they’ve been asked not to do something could be described as having a strop.
When talking to foreigners and someone mentions USA, it's about 50/50 I get a trump joke or a fat joke. I don't think HN is the place for it, but stereotyping countries is pretty common.
tbf Trump is at least somewhat relevant to whether the US is a good place to live right now. It's more like inserting a Charles Manson joke when someone says why they like California...
Ah, an excellent example of the trade-offs we face. The plastics in your Beats-branded device are made from petrochemicals freshly brought to the surface of the earth and will be sent to a landfill for ever and ever after you are done with them, while the metal in the Apple-branded device was recycled before and will be recycled again.
Does it sync automatically? It was really confusing googling for this stuff. I love my Airpod Pros but the mic is dead on them. I hate having to switch back and forth from bluetooth to wired.
I started playing Silksong on my Steam Deck using the linux build. Only to discover that it maxed out at 720p (docked), and wouldn't bind right/left trigger for my controller. Enabling proton (to play the windows build) worked great. Controller worked flawlessly and the game ran smoothly at 1080p.
Yes, and sadly this is very commonplace. At this juncture, Linux builds don't make a lot of sense anymore, especially if they are not going to receive much attention when it comes to debugging. The performance penalty of Proton is small enough that it rarely matters. The worst I have seen is perhaps -20% FPS in Helldivers 2 (with an Nvidia GPU), but normally the impact is in the 0 to 10% range, so negligible for all intents and purposes.
Probably a good time to tell people that SF operates a "Text Before Tow Program" where you can get a warning that you're about to get towed: https://www.sfmta.com/text-tow-program
> This service only applies to parking more than 72-hours, blocked driveway, construction, and temporary no-parking (special event or moving truck) zones. Peak-hour tow-away lanes, hazards, yellow or white zones and other violations are not included.
Still great though. That would have saved me $500 6 years ago.
Often it's unofficially the policy. For PT ticket fines in Melbourne, I've never heard of someone having a fine enforced for the first problem. It's pretty much always just a warning logged against you.
Where I'm from there's no concept of towing on any parking violations. No one has the right to touch your vehicle, and if the police is involved they'd just contact the owner. The police would only move a car if it's a danger to the public.
A tow truck is only something you'd call for assistance, not something you fear seeing.
(Parking fines suck, but the municipal ones are usually more reasonable here, even if they don't always get the rules right. It's the parking companies managing large private parking lots, often for free to the lot owner, that are absurd.)
I don't know of a country that requires all bicycle parking in any non-private location to be paid, nor a country that requires payment for roadside parking on country roads outside cities. Heck, even within cities, only the very dense ones seem to require paid parking on smaller roads.
Public space does not imply free of any use, but rather that it is freely used by all. The purpose of paid roadside parking is to reduce demand on what quickly becomes a limited resource in dense cities.
Here (Denmark), blocking a drive-way would not be a parking violation handled by a parking inspector, but a traffic violation handled by the police. They would contact you directly and have you sprint to your car.
Parking tickets are also considered fees, paid to those managing the parking area (municipality for public roads), as opposed to fines issued by the police or a judge and subject to very specific rules.
>> A tow truck will be dispatched in conjunction with the text message notification and could be there in as few as five minutes.
If only they operate in good faith, and that is something I'd highly doubt given its SFMTA. As in they could call tow truck ahead of time, so that its almost unlikely the person will be able to get to their car in time.
Why should roads, walkways, and construction sites be blocked just to let someone have more time to avoid a ticket? I imagine the text goes out from SF's servers simultaneously with the tow truck summons. It's a fair shot for both.
I totally agree with you on that, but then why have this program at first place then?
I'm just saying that given its SFMTA -- if the tow truck will take say 30 min, they will probably try to wait and issue the ticket later right before tow truck can arrive so that they can get the fines. SFMTA relies heavily on fining people for their revenue and hence incentivized to not act on good faith here. Obviously, it an accusation based on anecdotes and personal experience and by no means an evidence, and I may very well be wrong, but overall I've very very little faith in SFMTA.
>> I imagine the text goes out from SF's servers simultaneously with the tow truck. These systems are often old. I wouldn't assume anything here.
Fines are big source of revenue for MTA. Citation would be $110 something, and if it gets towed its additional $700 for first X hours and then more later.
