Also nonsense. I lived and worked in London for over a decade and even when I lived in an outer zone the car sat idle for 95% of the time.
Driving in London is a mug’s game. Your car journey is almost certainly unnecessary.

That's why London should be opening more roads instead of closing the very few they have, while Barcelona can afford having more pedestrian segments.
Instead London decided to put bus lanes and bike lanes and wider sidewalks
Very ecological but fatal for the city, which has the worst commute speeds anywhere in Europe.
That's a competitive economy? Nope!!
Nonsense. Traffic speed is not proportional to a competitive economy.
But why? Do you feel the need to respond to those weirdos in the street yelling about how god hates fags and the end of days or whatever? Is anything gained by acknowledging them at all?
There's plenty of real stuff this admin is doing to respond to; focusing on the performative nonsense that exists seemingly to keep them 'winning' in the news cycle to their base might just be wasting your breath.
Those weirdos on the street aren't your actual government institutions.
This is 1984 territory, without hyperbole. They are rewriting what you see so that you will always have been at war with Eurasia.

>I don't want to talk to my computer
I recently vibe coded a voice typing software (using Parakeet — your best bet is probably Handy though).
It works in my terminal. (I just changed my paste shortcut to Ctrl+V
I can now literally speak software into existence!
I made a thin wrapper around my llm() function I can pipe text into from Bash.
This allows me to make many other thin LLM wrappers, such as one that summarizes then contents of entire directories.
I have a thing called Jarvis inspired by a Twitter post, where I ask it to do anything in bash, and it just does that.
I wouldn't exactly say it's useful (I am unemployed) but I am kind of having my mind blown a little bit.
The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed yet.
What lunatic thinks that voice is the best way to interface with a computer?
I use my lastname [at] gmail (same as my HN username). Over the years, I’ve received all sorts of misdirected messages: medical, financial, support, even real estate documents. When it seems important, I do my best to contact the sender and let them know.
What I’ve learned is that “no-reply” email addresses can cause real harm in situations where it’s critical to reach an actual person.
One of my gmail doppelgängers has started trading crypto and I am deeply concerned for them.

Actually I think this is a killer use case for local LLMs. We could finally get back to asking the computer to do something without having to learn how to string 14 different commands together to do it.
I’ve been computer touching since the mid eighties.
Exactly what golden era of computing are you harking back to, and what are you doing that requires 14 different commands?

> extraction rates are on the order of 50% (for basically nothing in return).
Hey that's pretty much what we have in Germany, probably even higher thanks to vat, capital gains, &c.
You have roads, infrastructure, a social security system, hospitals, schools…
The peasant got nothing.
Unfortunately, the use-case for AI is often where the acceptance criteria is not easily defined --- a matter of judgment. For example, "Does this patient have cancer?".
In cases where the criteria can be easily and clearly stipulated, AI often isn't really required.
