European towns were designed before cars were invented, and density was also often a product of defending the city from attack.

To answer your question, it is because sprawling car-centric localities are the cheapest way (in the short term) to maximize the living space/cost ratio. European style cities don't spring up from empty fields anymore because they are more expensive to build. Your comment about building codes is telling. European cities did not form in the way they did because of building codes. They formed for economic reasons in a pre-industrial era. The same way American and Canadian, and newer European cities sprawl for economic reasons. That you bring up building codes is a tacit acknowledgement that to make a medieval city layout now would require forcing builders and buyers to pay more than they would otherwise.

Anyways, a medieval city layout nowadays would still be an inauthentic pastiche, sort of like a Tudor-style Celebration, Florida. Form ever follows function, and all that.
If they did, mid-life crisis wouldn't be so common. I'd say many people have lofty yet rather undefined goals in life, which is why they crash hard when they realize they are far from achieving hem.
It seems like it would be more awkward than with a mouse+keyboard controlled text editor, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

I don't know if this is even possible but before I dive into what I would like to explain why(Read next para if you want to read what):

A large number of engineers today at least in India are writing the same CRUD applications again and again. I can't believe we haven't reach a level of abstraction where people who needs these app are able to design themselves. This would save tonne of man hours. I have seen so many companies implementing the same employee management, payroll systems, sometimes their own internal social networks. Heck, some are implementing their own email clients because the companies who are selling email services charge a lot. If only we had open source alternatives to these system as that of the grade of Linux kernel, a large number of engineers can start working on more pressing issues.

So I would like to build open source alternative to the systems like employee management, payroll management, student management, hospital management, email services, hotel management,etc. Anyone who wants variations in their system can tweak it making small code changes. Ultimately hoping to reach a level of abstraction where we won't need engineers to code every small business case.
It seems clear to me that the biggest advances will be made through evolutionary and developmental neural networks where evolution lays down the algorithm that builds the gross neural network architecture and learning then refines this. However this will need massive amounts of computational power because you have G generations of population size P, and each individual phenotype needs to go through a developmental step (neurogensis) and then an evaluation step. On top of that we need a good genotype to phenotype map specifically for neural networks.

Conveniently gene regulatory networks that would control cell growt, division, and wiring up the neurons are themselves represented mathematically as neural network so in effect you’re evolving one class of neural networks the build another class of neural networks. Nature is quite elegant.

Not aiming at a Twitter competitor at all. If we wanted that, we’d be done in like 3-6 months.

What we built is a GENERAL PURPOSE OPEN SOURCE SOCIAL APP PLATFORM.

Like Wordpress but for collaboration.

The goal is total reusability. You release an app for your community and install some plugins for various functionality. Then you throw some “tools” on “pages”. Apply styles. And you’re done. Your app works on the web on every device, can be released in app stores, integrates with notifications, contacts, etc. out of the box.

What sort of “tools” can you have in your apps? Well here is just a sample:

Chatroom
Chess game
Collaborative documents
Blogging
Group rides
Events and checkins

“Streams” is our we handle data. Out of the box every stream supports:

Role based access control integrated with contacts
Invites
Realtime updates
Offline notifications
Relations and indexing

We integrate with every browser and OS vendor for Payments and Notifications.

And more. We provide a standard interface for people to basically collaborate with one another, and do it across domains too. Meanwhile developers can add new types of “streams” and “tools” for app developers and also startups can package and sell various apps to communities. Everyone can re-use code. Did you see the video?

Great insightful comment, I've never really typed on anything but an IME keyboard on a computer, so I wasn't familiar with how easy it is to type kanji / hanzi on a phone

IME keyboards (for Japanese) has always confused me, since sometimes if you input hiragana or katakana it would translate to the kanji equivalent because japanese is kind of weird in that they have 3 written types. Thats just a quirk with Japanese itself though. I'm am glad that English doesn't have such an issue though. Then you have Romaji, the English - Japanese phonetic equivalent

Its also important to note when doing these comparisons, Japanese has a significantly lower information informational density than that of other languages. It also has a low reading speed rate too (informational rate), but very high speech rate (e.g. how fast you can talk with the language). English is actually very high across the board.

https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-most-efficient-highest-infor...

The article here has an image of the table I am thinking of (its the first response) for the data, from lyons et al. But, it does omit certain languages that are of interest as well, namely arabic. The rate at which you can write arabic and achieve the same level of information by hand is very closely related to that of English shorthand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorthand. This might not tie directly to texting, but its worth mentioning because notetaking efficiently requires quickly capturing information. Some people prefer by hand others by typing etc

I don't really know all the slang terminology in Japanese all that well, but in English we have things like brb lol btw lmfao roflcopter fam. I don't really know what the Japanese equivalent at all of this is, and I wander whether if you were to compare Japanese Slang to English slang / Ebonics, which input type method is superior on a phone? The japanese flick input method or a traditional qwerty keyboard. My bet is on the latter though (QWERTY)

Like I know instead of saying わたしは you could just shorten it to ぼく は (only if your male though). Which means "I am ..... {{doing something}}". You could just say instead "{{doing something}}" too, which gets the same point across. In mandarin you would use 我是 which is pinyin is typed "woshi" which is the equivalent.

I only have a single personal goal in life and it changes slightly over time as I learn more about life so it wouldn't make sense for me to write it down. I just think about it and work towards it every minute of every day so I don't need to track/organise anything. It's more like a principle than a goal.

The idea that someone would have a rigid list of goals and work through it like some kind of checklist sounds very self-indulgent.

I could make it my personal goal to eat a fruit for breakfast everyday for 1 month; that type of goal would be achievable enough for me to put into a list; but the idea that I would get any satisfaction out of this is cringeworthy.
You should start a Patreon/Kickstarter/whatever. I'd pay good money for that.
The HP calculator story pops up here occasionally. They bet huge on it and it paid off hugely. Every scientist and engineer threw away their slide-rule and bought one for a large chunk of change. The design is still iconic.
I've been trying to work on this for years but never had enough time and always lost steam. So here goes:

I want to build a markdown editor that's built for writer powerusers. My idea was that it'd function as a "writing IDE" with some of the following features:

1. storing metadata about a markdown file using the MOML[1] format

2. ability to quickly search through an entire project (a book, blog posts for a site, etc.)

3. plugin support (such as for spell-checking, grammar-checking)

4. auto-detecting character/scene/location names and linking them together (eg. if a character named "John" shows up, you can hover over them to see other places they're at)

5. robust project structure -- ability to separate story from research from character/location descriptions

6. export using pandoc into epub/mobi/html/whatever format

7. despite all the features -- it's all plain markdown so you can sync it via dropbox/drive/onedrive/git

8. ability to run specific commands on the text you're editing. Similar to how in VS Code you can run format or other commands on the current code file.

9. clean/empty interface

10. autosave to temp location in case of a crash

I've already started on this and have a functional version of it called OMEN[2] and have a simple design up on my blog [3].

And yeah...I wrote half a book on my OMEN prototype. I had to switch when I realized that I didn't have autosave...and didn't have the Ctrl+S shortcut implemented yet.

My other project would be a game I've been designing for a while. It's like Diablo I mixed with Stardew Valley. Eg. your objective is to crawl through a dungeon but it's not as serious/dark and has a crafting/home aspect to it. I've worked up a game design, character design, etc. just never had time to build it.
Not the OP, but in my mind I want a system that rewards members who are improving the health(mental and physical) of the largest possible group of other humans. The anti axis of this would be producing pain in the smallest set of other humans possible.

The way to punish behaviors that are scoring worse on the above would be to reduce the total number of connections possible to other humans. You would need a recovery sensor to catch run away cascading punishments and isolate for rehab.

So you find someone who has healthy relationships and you empower them. You someone with unhealthy relationships and you isolate them and rehab.

Someone who can maintain large n umbers of healthy relationships is a leader.
This is a concerning comment. Are you thinking about doing anything which may cause harm to yourself or others?

Sorry if that sounds cliche or something but if you find yourself overly concerned with retribution then any action you take is likely to cause more harm to yourself and your loved ones than anyone from which you extract retribution.

IMHO, tech is more a source of magic for people on the outside of tech, such as the kind drawn to situations like Heaven's Gate.

Even in the more speculative scenes in tech (such as the MLI/Singularity crowd), there's no religion going on.

It's mastubatory fantasy like religion, certainly - but under the control of the people involved: a game. Since the game is being defined by the players, there's no fearful superstition or external malevolence imposing itself and requiring placation. Religion would involve the same masturbation, but more driven by external sociality with fear and social coercion that comes with that, in addition to the mental pandering.
I will reply with another Hoare quote, from a paper from 15 years later:

> Fortunately, the problem of program correctness has turned out to be far less serious than predicted. A recent analysis by Mackenzie has shown that of several thousand deaths so far reliably attributed to dependence on computers, only ten or so can be explained by errors in the software: most of these were due to a couple of instances of incorrect dosage calculations in the treatment of cancer by radiation.

The headline is, as popular articles on QM often are, misleading. One of the central mysteries of QM has always been: how does the classical world with its arrow of time emerge from the quantum world where the governing equation is time-symmetric? And the answer is: the classical world emerges by a process of decoherence, which is to say, by the creation of large (O(10^23)) networks of entanglements which (it can be shown mathematically) have behavior that is indistinguishable from classical systems. It is very similar to how thermodynamics and the time-irreversibility of the second law emerge from time-reversible Newtonian mechanics (except that the time-asymmetry that emerges from QM is even more fundamental).

Time-reversibility is part-and-parcel of quantum computation because the whole point of quantum computation is to keep the system operating in the regime where its behavior is distinguishable from classical. As soon as you lose coherence, you simultaneously lose all of the quantum behavior, including time-reversibility. Time-reversibility isn't anything special in this regard. It's all part of the same weirdness.

It's all very interesting, but none of it is news.

One thing the PSP doesn't have is AMT style remote management.

AMD has their own kind of management system available on some machines (DASH, using "smart" NICs like Broadcom), but the PSP isn't even involved when DASH is available and in use, as far as I know.

However, on my Intel machine with AMT, there's a network port opened by the ME itself (TCP/16992). It can use the same IP as the main OS, or a different IP entirely if desired. It uses the same ethernet port as the main OS though, splitting the packets that are directed to one of the ME ports and selectively allowing the rest to continue to the main OS (there's a low-level ME firewall[1]).

On that port, there is a full remote desktop with mouse and keyboard, the ability to remotely connect small drives and/or ISO files, a remote serial console, a low level firewall configuration utility, and power/reboot controls. Even on machines where AMT is not even supposed to be available, there have been PoC demonstrated using one of the ME flaws to turn it back on[2].

On a tangent here but curious, if you know: what's the closest input method you can get to flick for Chinese?

How early did you learn to type? As an American born in 1980, I learned in first grade, and I don't remember it being a struggle. So maybe it's really important to learn early.
