I agree that the "new jobs are generated automatically" claim isn't supported by any good argument.

But the horse analogy isn't good way to show this imo. I hate to be "specie-ist" but human beings have a remarkable ability to learn new skills and attain new abilities. Horses don't. The human consumption of human's time, attention and so-forth is at the center of the economy. Human consumption of horse time isn't all that high a priority.

Human flexibility makes human activity something that can satisfy a vast number of human wants (and it means that there are a vast number of those wants to satisfy). That still doesn't mean you'll always have people employed but it makes employment a more plausible thing.

The point of this paper is precisely that bureaucrats, at least the right type of bureaucrats, are necessary for public works to proceed smoothly. Without (qualified, motivated) public servants, public works are driven by politics and lawyers instead of domain experts.

I've seen the same kind of things happen in the private sector. A company with no in-house IT expertise regularly gets fucked over by their contractors. This is less common now but this was rather the norm 20 years ago, even for large enterprises.
Sam, you have a lot of great ideas and a lot of assumptions in this essay. Just like the parameters in deep learning models, we can’t know what will work in different scenarios until we can model it reliably. Time to build a worldwide game, version of the Sims if you will, to test different assumptions and global activity based on them. Happy to help on this too.

Some big assumptions:
- Childcare can or cannot be handled by robots (very likely not if you need to raise healthy humans).

- Healthcare can or cannot be handled by robots.

- Humans will enjoy lack of employment without mental damage and how to retrain or provide for those needs.

In the game each player should be assigned a random individual with different roles in society - so they can see all angles (from different speeds of income accruing, to health, to time demands of their job, to responsibilities that need handled, etc). You will see all kinds of bugs that way - from individual liquidity crunches, to mental breakdowns, to industries that need more innovation/AI.

You can run any assumption in different epochs and get the answer by humans who play along worldwide.

That way when the rules are about to change due to an innovation, we can run a fun game simulation instead of running the risk of anarchy which kills a lot of people.

It is critically important to think about how we structure the future based on the technology we unlock. My pull request on this essay would be to propose we build a test suite for that first. Maybe we can use AI to simulate outcomes too after a good number of human runs.

The design reference that you link is how I want it to be, I spent quite some time focusing on the look and feel with Figma, and I'm really happy about the results, I just need to do the 90% of the work now :D
It is a good argument, but it does not apply. Their complaint is about the increased noise-level, which, as far as humans go, we can agree it can become bothersome. We typically disagree over how much and when is too much, but noise absolutely affects property values and potential resale. Take me for example, I did not purchase a place by highway. Extreme example, but same principle applies.
I was super excited the first time I personally owned my first SCSI card though. I look back on my fascination with the tech of those days fondly. It was super cool even though it badly sucked by todays standards.
It would have been cool if Limbo/Dis would had gotten more attention at the time. To me it looks like a more promising base, and was released the same year as Java. I can't at the moment find under what terms it was released back then, but it's free software now.
I don't mind being on a network without people who don't want to pay for it. Not sure why is that an issue?
> 0% fee

This is untrue. On landing page there is already

> Fees are only up to 3%

If you scroll to the diagram ( https://thumb.tildacdn.com/tild3530-3537-4532-b434-373030613... ) it shows 30% high fee.

What is ironic given earlier

I wonder how much goes to various hidden fees caused by blockchain inefficiency (gas? transaction fees)?
According to the Wikipedia page on the commutative property, "commute" is the right word.

A few years back people considered "H.R.4681 - Intelligence Authorization Act" to be a victory in terms of limiting how long government can keep information of U.S. citizens "not wittingly"[1] captured by intelligence agencies in their hoovering activities. I thought the coincidence of the specific provisions in that law with the drive towards making sure all communications on the web is encrypted was "interesting".[2]

What's crazy, viewed from outside the US, is that this kind of roadblocks seems to only apply to public works but not to private developments, or less so at least.

In Europe, public works have less barriers of that type, as it's assumed they are for the general good, whereas private projects are required to demonstrate it.

<https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/>

People taking in $200k are not in any sense "very, very wealthy", except from a third-world viewpoint. $200k in today's dollars approaches what would have been called "middle class" a few decades ago, when there was one. Now you are only low, below $300k, and high, above $1M, with very few left between.

(In countries with regular health care and education, life costs less, so this about the US.)

The plutocrats have been very successful at deceiving American voters that they are not almost all now lower-class. The Powell Memorandum, 50 years ago, laid out the plan. It has been followed since then, and Americans now are routinely persuaded to vote against their own interests.

Wealth produced in the US has been rising as fast since 1975 as it did between 1945 and 1975, but normal Americans' income since 1975 has been flat. The whole difference has gone straight into the pockets of the extreme rich, and they are who are very, very rich. You and I have no concept of how different their lives are.

In 1975, regular parents could pay for putt their kids through college while paying their mortgage.

But that doesn't mean that it's going to be valued by the market. If it's not valued by the market, the fact that it's rare doesn't help you.

For a high market price, you need the intersection of a scarce skill (low-supply in labor market) that provides value to other people (high-demand in the labor market). Being a good software engineer is an example - low-supply and high-demand, therefore high wage/salary.
And you notice the NN software doesn't even use the accelerator half of the time
In my experience mst of these changes are simple to add to your projects pom or build.gradle. For instance the removal of the jaxb xml runtime is a simple 1 liner to your project:

But can people be unemployed because we run out of things for humans to do?

-- You'll always have something that some other human wants the human X to do. Whether that other person can pay human X sufficient money to make that activity their job is the question. And it seems plausible you'll reach a point where the answer will be no for a lot of people. You can call that "structural" if you wish but it seems related to the marginal utility provided by a given person and that goes down as one finds automated alternatives.

Yeah, Napster's value still hasn't been replaced in full. I remember pulling some obscure song from another endpoint halfway around the planet and then being able to browse their music collection, which turned me on to other cool music. You can kind of do the same thing on spotify by following people and playlists, but it's not the same discovery magic that Napster had, especially for obscure or hyper-local stuff. I'm not enough of a music nerd anymore to care as much these days, but Napster really was the cat's venerable pj's back then.

You did good, Jason. Honestly after this streissand effect from them taking technical criticism personally and threatening you, I'm probably just going to avoid anything using code they might have written... that's on them. Responding to a perceived non-professionalism by talking like that to you -- from their COMPANY EMAIL at that?

1. DOCKER

I don't hear "works on my machine" nearly as much nowadays. Everyone is running the same code in the same environment. It's all there under source control.

Now I can get a project running on a different machine in a few minutes, without any special instructions. That also applies to my colleagues, or people looking at my GitHub projects. My software's interface with the host machine is clearly defined, so there are very few surprises.

2. GOOGLE PHOTOS

No more moving photos around with cables and SD cards. No more tagging anything in Lightroom. I can type "pug" and I'll see every photo of a pug I've taken.

There are no logistics around taking pictures anymore, and it's much better that way.

3. MAPS

> waiting around for a taxi to arrive

The worst part about waiting for a taxi is the dice roll of whether one will actually arrive. Often in the case of a popular spot (like after the end of an event) the taxi could pick up someone else from the same location - or worse yet, not show up at all. The introduction of feedback associated with a specific driver has completely changed the incentive to actually show up and pick up the correct person.

This sounds like it could be a bug. I ran into something similar on a device that auto-updated, but it was just confusing wording.

If the device never had a passcode/fingerprint/face id before you certainly don't need one to unlock it even if it has auto-updated.

It looks like the device auto-updated, so you should be able to complete the activation.

Now if you are talking about accessing iCloud, then you may need the iCloud password.

Does that mean they don't lose anything? Or that they lose some amount, but that amount is not a simple fraction of staked amount?
Linus avoids describing himself as a hacker. He prefers to use the word programmer when speaking to journalists. The problem is the word has been hijacked to mean something different by most media.

I purposefully waited a bit to build a new computer (first one I've been able to build for myself and not others!) seeking the new AMD and Ampere cards, with the purpose of being able to do some research on my home machine and not a lab one. I figured I'd have to wait a month or two after launch, no biggie, but I got my 5900x last week and still can't find a 3080. This shortage is insane and no one seems to be doing anything about it. I'm extra peeved at NewEgg's shuffle system which I'm pretty sure someone that just took a week of a stat's class could tell you that they are giving the edge to bots and scalpers. While I'm peeved at the miners, I'm also upset that retailers aren't combating them and helping consumers.
I believe, based on my own experiences, that you're mistaken here.

MacOS has a nice feature that shows you in the device tree what the thunderbolt connection speed is, for my eGPU it shows as '2x' which is 20GBps, and that's running an eGPU with 2x 4k displays.

For work, I run a 4k panel from Lenovo[0] that has a USB-C in and while that's a 60Hz screen, it does not show any signs of input lag or artifacting.

> IMO streetcars in general are a pretty bad investment, as they are generally just a way of making a bus, but more expensive and stuck on rails.

The value of a streetcar or a bus depends on the volume of passengers that are served. The more people, the more a streetcar (maybe) makes sense.

At some point you have so many buses and so many drives (salaries, benefits, 401k/pensions) that the main cost on the line becomes people and not equipment. (More buses also need more mechanics, etc.)

There is a range of average daily ridership where buses, bus rapid transit (single/double lanes), light rail, and heavy rail each make sense.

One should also keep in mind that good transit is about networks: a random route here or there is not useful. Vox made a video outlining this:

This is true, and the reason for why they are no longer a thing is the same reason why companies don't sponsor theme park rides anymore. They simply don't need to.
