This viewpoint makes sense for dense urban areas where space really is at a premium, but most of the united states is sparse and land is relatively cheap.

> Owning a car isn't just the $10-12k average annual expense but also things like paying a double-digit percentage more for housing to get off-street parking

I'm very skeptical of these figures. $10-12K is more than I'll pay for my brand new Tesla, and it's a hell of a lot less than that when you amortize those figures over its expected lifetime. Yeah, there's also the cost of fuel and maintenance, but I'm very skeptical that these costs added onto the car payment bring the cost up to $10k on average. Moreover, the average cost isn't very useful--it's influenced by people like me and people even wealthier than me who can afford to splurge. It doesn't tell you anything about the actual cost required to own and maintain a car--chip shortage aside, a used Toyota Camry with decent miles probably costs about $10-15k total and amortized over its ~20 year lifetime including fuel and maintenance it's probably on the order of $2k/year. And of course, if we're worried about people who can't afford that, as with anything, the government can subsidize those people.

Similarly, off-street parking isn't an issue outside of large cities (virtually everyone else has a driveway, and the minimum viable cost of maintaining a driveway isn't anywhere near $1k/year).

Ultimately, this conversation illustrates one of the major problems with federalizing infrastructure. You get people from urban centers making policies based on incorrect assumptions about other areas of the country.
I learned web development through Steve Huffman's Intro to Web Dev course which used app engine. It was incredibly powerful and it did a great job in allowing you to focus on what really mattered. Definitely thankful for whomever maintained the project; it was instrumental in allowing me to build my skills as a developer.
"The Old Internet" sounds to me much like people who love vinyl. What I hear on it is scratchy, compressed, and hard to use. But it's "better" in some way that appeals to them -- and only to them.

Which is fine. But I sure don't miss the Internet which was small, ugly, and full of stupid. Now it's large, ugly, and full of stupid -- but there's so much more "large" that I can always find lots of things that I want.

It feels like somebody's in-joke. I wasn't in on that in-joke, and don't particularly want to be. To me, the early Internet was exciting largely for the things that panned out: universal access to everything and everyone in an instant. If what you want is memes, there are plenty of them still there. If you don't get them -- that's kind of the point of an in-joke.

There are 660 million people living in Latin America, roughly twice as many as in the United States. You can bet that there are companies targeting them. I know a couple and I live in Western Europe, so locally I'd expect that number to be just about as high as in any other place where people live.

The book talks a lot about this, and is worth reading.

Note that nothing you've pointed to is exclusive; Mayan society was very different from the societies of New France. Indigenous America is not a cartoon, but a large collection of societies with different organisation.

Another interesting point in the book is that there are many instances of enlightenment thinkers explicitly pointing to indigenous Americans as the source of their ideas... Which has tended to just be ignored or glossed over, in favor of the great man theory where these ideas spring from pure European genius.
Yes, it is something that should be done, and yes, it won't be easy. Your comment reflected absolutely none of that, and even was arguing against me saying that it would be extremely difficult, so it did in fact seem like you were saying that this is a simple fix. Heck, you didn't even say "figure out how many bridges you can afford," but simply "remove 150 of them."
No worries, I make that mistake all the time; I should've considered that possibility.
60% is the number for 60+, unvaccinated and 60+ vaccinated. The claim was the 65+ unvaccinated alone were dominating. Can't be true given the numbers. Specifically the claim was "overwhelmingly, screamingly, massively dominated by the elderly unvaccinated".

I'll give an answer in a slightly separate direction: there aren't engines that are both good enough and open enough to hook into that Open Source communities can build around them.

There are two ways that new software gets built: either the market is big enough and accessible enough that commercial software gets built, or the software is easy enough to build that hobbyists enter the space and solve their own problems. For example, the commercial market for keyboard-driven interfaces is also quite small, but we still have stuff like Sway. But a good keyboard-driven interface is easier to build than speech recognition.

I've been curious about this area for a while, but my understanding is voice-to-text Open Source solutions are still kind of primitive for general text transcribing. The libraries aren't very fun to work with, they're often embedded Python/Java "stuff", and the accuracy isn't great if you advance past the level of text transcription. Additionally, controlling computers and hooking into X or Wayland feels a bit hacky.

That being said, I'll push back on people who are saying that no one would want to control an interface this way. The success of systems like Alexa/Siri/Google are pretty definitive proof to me that (all their weaknesses side) there is a market for voice interfaces. But the ties between that market and the desktop are not strong, and the ecosystem isn't open enough to really build on in that direction.

I suspect that until efforts like Mozilla's open speech datasets pick up more steam and become competitive (if they ever do), it's going to be kind of laggy to find solutions because it's not immediately obvious how to enter the market, either as a commercial company or as an Open Source dev. But maybe I'm wrong and I just haven't researched it enough and the area is totally ripe for disruption. Maybe for people with RSI they'd tolerate something like clipping a bluetooth mic to their lapel or something and that would boost accuracy. Maybe there's another way to approach entering code that isn't just straight text recognition, possibly combining it with some kind of AST or code analysis that made it easier to guess what people were saying.

In any case, I don't think the problem is that people don't want to talk to their computers. Personally I don't like using voice assistants, but they are very popular, in no small part because of the voice part. So maybe there is an evolution of desktop UI controls that could become really popular, or at least competitive with entrenched solutions for people with limited mobility or RSI. But it would require someone to introduce some kind of actual UX innovation into the space, or to find a way of getting over the moat around good recognition and OS integration.

I realize that this is a tongue-in-cheek "game", and its good at that.

But I would argue that the proper mechanism for the random-pattern is a random-walk of the %increase or %loss at each step, and not the uniformly-varying price that's rather easy to game.

Perhaps this "game" is more fun with a uniformly-varying price however.
Matrix.org should be able to function as the telephone exchange that connects all communication services, as it is well posed to work as a universal connector.

If, at some time in the future, it manages to create a usable bridge to connect between two popular private services (say Whatsapp and Telegram, or Teams and Slack) it could start accumulating network effects, and become a desirable target for all other networks so that it is appealing for them to build their own bridges to the Matrix services.
> Google and Siri are good at what they do. They aren't good at other things, such as dictation.

It's interesting you mention that google isn't good at dictation as I've found it excellent on pixel 6 (maybe the quality varies depending on what hardware you're running on?) If I need to write out anything over a sentence or two on my phone I'll almost always dictate it and as long as I have a reasonable idea what I want to say beforehand it works well.

What I personally find a little jarring is that I find I need to compose what I want in my head further in advance than I would if Im typing as correcting mistakes is more awkward.

That’s what we had before Unicode, and it was hell. Every country had their own opinions on what to put in the blank spaces in the codepoint map. As for a max 2-byte encoding, UCS-2 tried that. Turns out 65k points isn’t enough (even ignoring emoji), and now we have the hack known as UTF-16.

Unicode currently encompasses over 144 thousand codepoints. How many are emoji? Only ~3.5k. So even if we removed emoji, 16 bits still wouldn’t be nearly enough.

Instead of saying we should go back to the past, one should first see why we don’t do the things we did in that past

Is this new or has it always been true?
I think it depends on how you define "high quality."

To me, I'll take a restricted set of actions if they work very reliably.

This is what I had back in the 80's with a Covox Voicemaster plugged into to the joystick port of my Commodore 64. It could only understand a few phrases, but I could define those phrases, and it almost always worked.

If you define "high quality" as being able to respond to a seemingly infinite number of queries, but only understanding and replying correctly occasionally, then Siri is closer to what you want.

Ya, I've played around with web components quite a bit last year while building Dashborg. They seem great, but I found them quite frustrating, especially around styling, events, and getting them to work with other libraries. The fact that "rem" affects them, and they can't load their own fonts was a huge issue (at least for me).

That being said, I'm definitely open to bringing web components into Hibiki -- having all the Hibiki infrastructure could help manage some of those weird interactions. On paper at least, I think I could make them play nice together. Once I clear my current todos, I'll dig a bit deeper into Lit / web components again.
I'd say bad publicity. People are afraid of hard conversations and US politicians doesn't have any incentives to treat the voters are adults. Politicians treat ppl as children at best and cattle at worst. No one asks children what compromise to make: to buy bread or to buy milk if money are running low. This is the root cause of the problems from my point of view.

Post 0.5 neovim, vscode-neovim is great, well for me it is. But there were three problems.

Command mode sucked but it's much better now. If I could close the results window with an escape character, that'd be just great.

If you navigate right with the space bar, it screws up the line. Right arrow works fine. However, I think this is a VSC problem. :e! fixes the problem.

If you do any editing immediately after opening, it just inserts your keystrokes at the beginning. It would be better to buffer or ignore them. I also think this is a VSC problem. :e! fixes the problem.

I only added clangd very recently. It obviates You Complete Me, ctags and much of clang-tidy. It refactors. It's an awesome code navigator.

I still use neovim from the command line occasionally. But since they've fixed command mode, that's less and less.
I think the "FANG" is a deliberate slip-up to point, although it should be obvious that this company is Amazon. From reliable firsthand accounts, it seem to be an accelerating shitshow.

I will never work for Amazon given what I have heard about teams there; but what I am worried about is the impact on AWS, which is the main cloud provider at my work, and has been having more than their usual share of catastrophic region-wide problems this year. If this continues, we might have to rethink and move at least some of our systems to GCP to do some stability comparisons.

> One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

> To say "rioting is like terrorism-- they're both never just" is just insufficient.

From my point of view, It looks like you claim one thing here and then turn around and say your own claim is insufficient.

In order to justify a riot, everyone would have to have some set of agreed upon requirements (rights), an agreed upon process for change (legal system), and an agreed upon failure mode (How can we tell the legal system failed to provide the rights so that rioting is valid). The US has some agreed upon failure modes, but as far as I can tell, most riots are not about those directly, so they are essentially responding to an un-agreed upon failure mode. That doesn't necessarily mean it's not worth rioting for, but how could one justify it?

An in progress riot can never be truly justified to every observer, because only the ends can justify them happening. Sometimes the process fails and the populous, or a portion of, must riot to have some form of control, but that doesn't mean one is able to justify it while in progress.

But maybe the issue is defining what it mean to be just or to justify something in this context. How I see it, many of these things are just a power struggles, and justness doesn't exist for such things. Justness is a man-made concept and requires man-made prerequisites to compare it to.
(For context, FAANG is an acronym: Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google.)
Exactly, this is only tangentially related to rooting. Google doesn't need root on your device for their closed Play Services to install software, but the component that you want to have this installation capability does need some system-level permission. Many people grant it that by rooting the device, but installing something like /e/OS (=Android with microG and a few other improvements) is also a way to do this.

Is that really bad? I mean, it's telling me the language it's in, so it's a bit of valuable information if I'm looking for articles/posts about something a bit esoteric. Say I wanted to implement algorithm X for which there are few references, well if I read "Implementing Algorithm X in Rust" that's an informative title, whereas maybe if it just were "Implementing Algorithm X" and I then find out upon opnening it that it's in Rust, and maybe I wanted C, Python or MATLAB.

Kodachrome is a very different process from other color films. (going from memory from years ago when I dabbled in color wet-chemistry darkroom work) Most color transparency films have color-couplers linking the silver salts to dyes that are in the unexposed film. Kodachrome, as I recall, had no dyes in it as shipped from the factory. Just three layers of silver salts with different wavelength-response curves. The archival color dyes were implanted into the emulsion at processing-time. The Kodachrome process is very complex and was never approachable for home darkroom work.
