The algorithms being only as good as we are has many levels to it. Encoding existing biases is one. But nowadays it’s not existing algorithms but rather data driving the decisions. So the biases in how data might be collected or processed is at least the second and much more difficult to discern layer. Finally, what if we find the data to be correct, the AI cost function impeccable and still find a bias? I.e. what if we find there’s a bias in the larger system of society? At some point the entire exercise becomes futile, as the passionless machine cannot be made to fit perfectly into an imperfect society where we’d like to make decisions not because they make sense but because we feel them to be right. Let’s keep the machines where they belong, shall we?
I'd love for that to be true, but I am quite dubious. Flight technology tends to be very weight sensitive, and our battery densities are just nowhere close to the density that flight needs.

Current batteries have an energy density of 90-190 Wh/kg, depending on the specific chemistry. Jet fuel on the other hand has an energy density around 12,000 Wh/kg. Obviously some amount of that will be made back up with the relative light weight and high efficiency of electric motors, but that is a very step energy difference to overcome.

A quick bit of Googling says that turbofan engines are about 40% efficient, while triple phase electric motors are roughly 85% efficient. Given the 3,000 nautical mile range of a 737NG, some back of the envelope math says that an EV equivalent would have a range of about 100 miles at best[0]. Forget LAX -> SFO, this isn't even enough to get you from LA to Bakersfield. And even 100 is optimistic, given that the FAA requires that all planes have extra fuel for diversions, weather, holding, etc.

At this point, I suspect it might be easier to refine kerosene out of capture CO2 using excess renewable energy than it would be to make an EV 737 replacement.

0 - I'm obviously not accounting for weight and aerodynamic differences, which are beyond my capability to estimate, but I doubt that would make a significant difference. I'm also assuming that we're using Li-Ion Cobalt batteries, which have the highest density. The more common Phosphate chemistry makes these numbers even more bleak.
Wait a minute. If replacement batteries were cooked in from the start, prefs on all that would be different.

Those slums are actually remarkably better than "poblaciones callampa" (shroom villages) that popped up in the middle of nowhere in the rest of South America. Those favelas have water, electricity, and solid brick construction. And they're painted pretty colors, what's not to like? The real slums of the world where people who have nowhere to go come together and squat are really much less comfortable than that.

If you scan in color/grayscale, it can’t use JBIG2 compression. The machine will likely use JPEG for lossy compression, could result in less crisp scans, but it eliminates this risk.

Cool! Thanks for sharing your project.
Have you ever checked the paperwork required to actually ‘buy’ (really only rent most of the time) below market rate housing? It’s a nightmare. And even then, of course there is a lottery.

It seems like an excuse for paperwork and corruption, not a real attempt to house people and give more business to preferred vendors.

The AirPods do an extremely good job at this. It’s just a shame there is no standard for switching across all devices.

Although apple makes use of their own servers to coordinate this so it could be difficult.
They definitely can pair with any Bluetooth device
I haven’t found comfortable tips for my AirPods Pro. None of the ones in the box fit properly and the foam ones I bought are pretty painful.

Despite constantly pushing them back into my ears, I prefer them to wires getting snagged on door knobs and the awful rubbing sound against my coat. I still grab my AirPods over my great old IEMs which sound way better and were only $80.
Of course they can do something about it. Just because they agreed to a lease doesn't mean the landlord can change the conditions however they like. From TJs response it does not sound like TJ agreed to the app requirement in their lease. Suddenly requiring customers to install an app is a pretty material change.

TJ could ask the landlord friendly to not require the app, they could sue them, or maybe they could even withhold some payments until the owner of the building complies with their agreement again.

And I really doubt that the landlord wants to risk pissing off a major tenant over a parking app. I don't know what the market is currently like in LA, but in my part of the world lots of commercial spaces are free and landlords seem to be struggling to find tenants after businesses closed during the pandemic.
If a customer finds HBO through Apple's ad, they'll be paying for the subscription via Apple. Apple gets a 30% cut.

Apple did this all on their own, without telling app publishers. They're deliberately trying to get their 30% tax and shut out app creators.

This is nefarious. Apple is cutting the legs out from the very apps that bring value to its users.

This could be the basis of an antitrust case against Apple.
I think you mean Commercial Off The Shelf - COTS
That’s a reasonable argument. My feeling, which is a bit arbitrary, is that governmental power makes the most sense at the lowest layer (local government) and should be increasingly thin and limited in scope the further it gets from the layer of individuals. This is what allows many people of different backgrounds and perspectives to coexist peacefully in a nation, with local communities that are more tightly knit, while sharing some fundamental rights and very basic services like a military across different communities. Unfortunately the ever-ballooning size and scope of government at the federal and state level has threatened that decentralized notion of sovereignty.

I like it so much I got motivated enough to start making a sublime text highlighter for it. I got a bit lost though, having never made one before.

I think we're still going to have liquid fuels for a while, and they might be better to use as energy storage if we can create them from excess solar and wind power.
The examples you give are all examples relating to 'easy' problems of consciousness -- that there is a link between the thinking and the meat. I don't think that's in any serious doubt, and is easy to establish (as you have just done!).

The hard problem relates to how meat/the body could have consciousness at all. Showing more examples of changes to the physical body resulting in changes to thoughts/mind/consciousness does nothing to address the hard problem. Come up with your best description of the physical world, and you won't find consciousness anywhere in it unless you mix it in explicitly -- and mixing it in explicitly amounts to a dualism.

Many of us think we can explain things like trees, rocks, motion, planets, etc, in terms of more fundamental physical things. We can reduce these things to lower level physical things. Once you've got all the atoms in the right place, the right forces in motion, you have a rock. There's nothing else left to say -- a particular rock is nothing more than these things appropriately arranged.

Consciousness, on the other hand, is irreducible -- it cannot be reduced to just lower level descriptions of this sort. If you try, inevitably you'll leave something out.
What? Can you elaborate? If I spin this up in a container, even though it has access to the internet, how am I owned within a few minutes, given that my firewall is in place and I don't expose any port of this container to the internet?
On a similar note: Has cpython implemented tagged pointers yet? I remember there being a lot more discussion about boxed types when Java sometimes boxed primitive types (at the expense of performance).

Why python gets away with it I don't know. Back when I still did python, integers below 256 and above -3 (?) were "cached" and had no boxing overhead. In 3.6 that was still the case. Either cpython lacks tagged pointers or has the worst tagging scheme in history.

That depends on the scale I think. It's getting close to economical for private electricity use, but we're still pretty far away from the manufacturing capabilities that would allow us to store a week of power for the whole grid. And even further away if you also include energy that is currently not supplied as electricity (e.g. for heating).
"e.g." is an abbreviation for "for example".

Mobile computing would be so much better for competition if this had become a Microsoft / Google duopoly rather than have Steve Jobs with his perverse app store model. We'd have web downloadable apps and a better mobile web.

We now have a cartel for 50+% of American consumers. The cartel is so greedy that it's now placing ads to confuse and ensnare consumers even more.

> liberals believe those homes have to be 600sf+ with a full kitchen and bathroom, laundry in unit, and free gym onsite

That's hilarious, because you can look up Gabrunas Hall on Joint Base Pearl Harbor - Hickam on Google Maps and look at the 3 photos some sailor took of those barracks rooms. And what's hilarious, is that Gabrunas was widely considered the nicest Naval barracks at Pearl Harbor outside of the bachelor officer barracks. The room probably isn't even 250 sq. ft. I spent the better part of a year living in that barracks, for the three years I was stationed at Pearl Harbor, and when I wasn't there, I was onboard the USS Honolulu (SSN-718), in which one has no room, period.

In Gabrunas, you shared a kitchen and a bathroom with a roommate who had their own private room as well. Laundry facilities were at the end of each hallway and were shared by everyone on that floor.

If that's a good enough environment for senior enlisted personnel - that is, people who've spent quite a few years in the military, or have advanced quickly (generally E-6 and above), it should damn well be good enough for homeless people.
I used to scan documents that I wanted to keep, but frankly now I just take a photo on my phone. It's easier usually (pace dropboxes terrible interface), there are robbaly loads of apps to help, but imo, that's a whole class of hardware that's has been disrupted.

If your project is in python, the only correct file format to use for the config file is python. If your project is in ruby, the config file should be ruby. If you're in $SCRIPTING_LANGUAGE, your config file should be implemented in $SCRIPTING_LANGUAGE.

You can use `literal_eval()` (in python, there are similar constructs in basically every scripting language) to prevent prevent people from putting code in the config, but really, it's the person writing the config file's computer, let them do what they want.

For compiled languages, it's a bit harder, but there are zero cases where a separate "configuration language" should exist.
I’m afraid 24 is not young in this context. Teens are what these companies seem to care about (judging by the ad budget in the hundreds of millions), and in that demographic Instagram is behind both Snapchat and TikTok. It would seem that social media apps are like music: teens want an exciting new thing of their own (which, well, I have bad news about the coolness of music you like…)

Perhaps WhatsApp’s position is stickier, I’m unsure of it’s importance I’m driving revenue however.

Also, I've done some more search and the 24 bit figure for the human eye is somewhat disputed. It looks like the actual figure is around 16 stops at a time, but our iris gives another 8 or so stops (but only after an adjustment period).
Part of the answer for why dynamic range on modern cameras isn't better is that we're only starting to see consumer grade displays with more than 8 bits. Given that, most camera makers would rather put increased image quality resources towards upping the frame-rate or pixel density, which make it harder to get high dynamic range.

> In the wealthy suburbs of Texas with houses averaging 4000sqft with swimming pools @ $1+M you can find, right next to them, trailer parks where you can see mobile homes of $50k.

You literally described where I live - Keller, Texas.

I bought my home January of this year for $319,000. It's now appraised for about $400,000. Literally across the street from the exit of my subdivision is a trailer park. It's a damn nice trailer park, but it's still a trailer park.

Charles Schwab, TD Ameritrade, and Fidelity moving near here and establishing their enormous campuses has been a godsend for property values, but there's already additional massive housing developments being built to support all the people that are moving into this area, which is obviously great, as you point out.
That's a different story though. The mandates turn these into economy-of-scale problems that should drive the free market to greatly reduce the cost. There is no reason a backup camera should cost 1500.
The sun is the source of all energy, and solar energy is completely clean and renewable. However, solar energy is only available during the day, and it is reliant on the weather.
You can design affordable zones by allowing mixed use, allow "middle" housing with 2-12 units per building,removing parking minimums and giving buses dedicated lanes.

You can't reduce inequality if every house in an area is the same size. You need to mix single family houses with duplexes, quadplexes and buildings with more units.

In an area like that you can live without a car and don't have to giving up much freedom. This alone frees up a few 1000 Dollars per year. A bonus is that you don't bankrupt a city if you build like this.

Here is an example of a building with 8 units:

With respect, the BBSes continued to be a thing up to 1995, at least.

I had an account on one of the largest dial-in BBSes in the world, in the form of Heller Information Services. I registered my vanity domain with them in 1995, when they first started having a real Internet presence.

HIS was early enough to the game that they registered his.com and hers.com. My own vanity domain was much more obscure.

I don’t remember when they shut down the BBS side of the business, but it wasn’t right away.

You're right they are different features and you could have one without the other. But imo it's the implementation of them together you see in most linux wms (i3, bspwm, sway, etc) that makes my example scenario work so well. When I try to use virtual desktops on windows without tiling/hotkeys, I just get confused about what windows are on what desktop. And if I had tiling without virtual desktops, I would just run out of space, or be forced to use the i3 "tab mode" which I'm not a fan of.
Dude, all I know is that I was using chase for one of my businesses for 3 years, millions of dollars coming in via Intuit payments -- no problems, then I switched from Intuit for ACH to using Seamlesschex.com, and then after the first batch, they locked up my business bank account, and then after a few months talking to a call center in india, with the bank manager sitting there (there is nothing they can do when they automatically lock your account), the people in india saying they will "never" return the hundreds of thousands in the account they locked up, I filed a lawsuit against Chase in civil court the same day, and then a month later, the attorney representing the case mails me a check for the full amount they stole from the account. I understand risk, but this was months later, all ACH payments, and everyone knew they owed this money. My only regret was not charging them with theft/fraud and 3x the money back for damages. Bottom line -- don't use Chase for anything. They suck.

> Local control means wealthy control

We’ve known for years US central planning is in fact a kleptocracy [1]. So, “no”. Locals can always throw a monkey wrench in any plan a far off bureaucrat makes for them, irrespective of wealth and power disparities. There are countless real world examples of this.

In addition, why should the wealthy be the only ones to object to high density housing as the one and only prescribed solution to housing affordability? Couldn’t the root of the housing affordability problem lie elsewhere, e.g. in investors who lack long-term residency parking their cash in inflation resistant assets? How about the lack of high speed rail networks, or human overpopulation in general?

It's always the same trajectory with declarative programming. It starts with "it's just configuration, we need something simple". Then users come with use cases which are more complex. Then you have programming language on top of configuration language syntax.
