Uber, Lyft to pay Mass. drivers $32 minimum wage during rides under $175 million settlement
  • They certainly charge enough to pay these people that much, I can't find any concrete numbers but it seems like the consensus is that the ride share company takes between 25% and 75% of the ride profit. What a racket

  • Do you like America? Why or why not?
  • No, I live here.

    I hate

    • religious zealotry
    • massive dichotomy in polotical ideologies
    • identity politics
    • warmongering
    • brainwashing (pledge of allegiance?!)
    • poor treatment of poor and homeless
    • prison complex
    • poor education system
    • incredibly expensive healthcare
    • terrible zoning laws and car centricity
    • hiroshima, native genocide, iraq, and so many more. The US has shed so much blood and terror inflicted on the world population
    • world police, vigilante, the US is basically every bad movie villian in country form
    • regressing views on women's rights
    • the history of slavery
  • Fiction with recursive loop
  • I can't think of any directly recursive books, the closest I can think of is

    The divine dungeon series

    By dakota krout, keep in mind, knowing this detail spoils a fairly big reveal in the series so proceed at your own risk.

  • Matt Gaetz rips new investigations against him: "Frivolous"
  • "rips" "drags" "slams"

    What is with the weird word choice for modern news articles?

    Lets whip out the thesaurus, use some flowery language! It can still be easy to understand but let's expand past the weird 3 verbs we've been limited to!

    "Senator Matt Gaetz forgot that investigations prove innocence too, and lashes out with his comments about a new investigation into his alleged intimate relationships with high schoolers."

    Really, if somebody wanted to investigate me about something I knew I was innocent about, I'd say "do your worst" not "ugh why would you investigate me" in a whiny voice.

  • Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are surging "faster than ever" to beyond anything humans ever experienced, officials say
  • Moving to EVs is great, all countries are following similar trends and it is a good step in the right direction, but China has a long way to go before becoming a bastion of ecological absolution. Shanghai's fog of pollution is something everyone should experience.

    Remember china has the second largest population on the planet, cumulative metrics are useful but miss the bigger per capita picture. Check out the wikipedia article on ev usage and note the per capita numbers

  • Vulkan 1.3 on the M1 in 1 month | Asahi Linux
  • Wow what a neat project, I have spent a lot of time recently working around vulkan on m1 machines with compatibility layers and while it's not a huge pain it does suck to miss out on some of the more powerful features of vulkan that the hardware is certainly capable of. I'm not keen on learning metal to bridge the gap and this is just what the doctor ordered.

    This will be a huge boon for me, way to go!

  • VLC Player
  • We don't deserve our open source heroes, so grateful for the incredible free software ecosystem

    Gimp, 7zip, blender, vlc, open office, the kernel, thousands of others, I feel like our lives have been universally improved by these inverted charity projects. The few taking care of the undeserving many.

  • Study Finds That 52 Percent of ChatGPT Answers to Programming Questions Are Wrong
  • I'm a 10 year pro, and I've changed my workflows completely to include both chatgpt and copilot. I have found that for the mundane, simple, common patterns copilot's accuracy is close to 9/10 correct, especially in my well maintained repos.

    It seems like the accuracy of simple answers is directly proportional to the precision of my function and variable names.

    I haven't typed a full for loop in a year thanks to copilot, I treat it like an intent autocomplete.

    Chatgpt on the other hand is remarkably useful for super well laid out questions, again with extreme precision in the terms you lay out. It has helped me in greenfield development with unique and insightful methodologies to accomplish tasks that would normally require extensive documentation searching.

    Anyone who claims llms are a nothingburger is frankly wrong, with the right guidance my output has increased dramatically and my error rate has dropped slightly. I used to be able to put out about 1000 quality lines of change in a day (a poor metric, but a useful one) and my output has expanded to at least double that using the tools we have today.

    Are LLMs miraculous? No, but they are incredibly powerful tools in the right hands.

    Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

  • ******* rule
  • Common password, people in various places will pretend that the platform will censor your password. For example my password is *******.

    This is generally an attempt to steal other users password or generally an attempt to prank the gullible. Your password will not be censored ever.

  • TIL taking fish supplements daily for the past 15 years might not have been a good idea after all
  • Who's taking fish oil supplements? People who are concerned for their health or people who are generally healthy? Observational studies like this seem much less useful than a dedicated study with properly allocated controls

  • Chemicals in vapes could be highly toxic when heated, research finds
  • I'm always wary of studies about products, but at least in this case the funding is governmental instead of private

  • How much of your nose can you see? This is my POV

    I wonder if there's anyone out there who can't see their nose at all?
