That's not true.

Public transport is factors more efficient than air travel.

And yes including initial cost.

We build infrastructure to last not to throw it away 5 years later.

You need to understand how much more energy it actually costs to bring a plain up in the air and down again. We talk magnitude more energy than trains.

We can talk about this again in 20 years when solid state batteries are broken through.and sustainable energy sources are the norm.

Air taxi's ate not hard to build on a technical level. We know how to build them.
You are right. Those figures are off but they are based on the same dataset you are referring to (or at least an earlier version).

I notice that they have revised some of the more recent household estimates. I had 1991 at 1,307,000 private dwellings and 1,252,600 households. A difference of 4.16%. And 2017 (or rather Q4 2016) at 1,855,500 private dwellings and 1,734,800 households. A difference of 6.5%. This - at least a few years ago when I first looked this up - was the most recent period where both figures were available.

They have indicated the revision to the household data and I am almost certain that they have revised the dwelling data as well.

The long and the short of it is, we still have a higher ratio of dwellings to households than we did before this price boom started to take off.

If I am reading you correctly, and you are indeed saying that rising prices are enough to assume an undersupply, I would have to both agree and disagree. I think it is only enough to indicate an undersupply relative to total demand, but that demand is both for homes and investments. As interest rates fall, monthly mortgage payments stay roughly the same while the size of mortgages rises as people are able to bid more for a house. With rising prices comes speculation and extra demand. We are about to find out what happens when that type of demand is removed or at least severely curtailed.

Your point about churn is definitely true. I mentioned in another comment in this thread that 'on the market' is one of many reasons that a house can be empty. I take your point but also believe that turnover is more frequent when speculation is at play.

If you are interested in measuring supply/inventory/utilisation of residential property, I'd recommend that you look up the 'Speculative vacancies report' published by Prosper Australia, a Georgian group based in Melbourne. They have an interesting methodology whereby they gather water usage data and use that to determine if a property is underutilised/vacant.
Hetzner sometimes have GPU instances available on their auction site, and if you get in touch with them they can sometimes sort something out!

They used to sell them openly, but coin mining ruined that :(
Then you'd be at the mercy of caching in whatever recursive resolver is in between you and dns.toys. Sure, you can specify the TTL but if you give one to low many resolvers will ignore it and just make up their own.
> It's a pain in the ass for them to publish it like that

Foone repeatedly said they'd either publish the content like this or not at all because it is the least painful way for them to put content out. Not sure why you think you know better than them?

Also, even though the readership experience might be subpar compared to a blog post, it is hard to imagine that putting out a set of tweets would be harder to do than putting out a blog post in general. Anyone who has ever tried to write a good blog post I think will relate to this. Writing well is hard. Tweeting well is less hard.
Electric Mountain Bikes are perhaps one of the most popular types of ebikes nowadays. With their robust electric motors and large-capacity lithium batteries, it's not surprising why they are on top of this ebike game. Moreover, they are designed to handle even the most challenging trails with confidence and style. However, electric mountain bikes, most if not all, are more expensive than regular electric bikes, which is surely because of their advanced and state-of-the-art features that no other ebikes can match. Sadly, on average, a decent electric mountain bike can cost at least 2000$! Insane, right?

Due to the increasing demands for electric bikes these days, prices would fluctuate a lot according to the types, models, and brands. Below the $2000 price point, you can still find decent electric mountain bikes from a brand with a mountain biking heritage. That is Magicycle ebike!

Many love to think about the mileage, speed, and performance of an ebike when the words “Electric Mountain Bike” come up. However, what about comfort and convenience? When cycling through rugged terrains, you may need an ebike from Magicycle that doesn't trade off on any of these components, which is more like a hummer(a tag worthily given by Forbes) that spectacularly ticks off on affordability, quality, comfort, and speed.

Suspension and Tires
Any manufacturer that wants to guarantee durability and extreme quality would have to do so with hardcore proof. This is why Magicycle's puncture-resistant tires are the decisive feature. Even though its mountain ebikes are undeniably sleek and classy with rugged and reliable features, still, the fat tires probably have the most convincing argument, which are from a well-known brand called Kenda. They are reinforced with layer after layer of aramid and ceramic particles that guarantee an extra tough and puncture-resistant form.This means that the tires will be protected from all kinds of unfavorable terrains including glass, thorns, sharp rocks, and the likes.

Acceleration and Speed
Magicycle Ebike is more than just an affordable ebike with a 750Watt geared-hub motor that works hand in hand with a 52V Lithium–ion battery. Plus, riders can enjoy multiple levels of gears whenever they need to ramp up the torque. If there's anything that off-road tracks and bumpy hills need, it's a Magicycle mountain electric bike that supplies extra speed, extra skid, and extra force.

Colored LCD Display
Besides all the features of Magicycle Mountain Ebikes, their LCD displays could be an outstanding point. It's 2022, not those past years when we only had fat and heavy TVs without any color. However, most ebiks in the market right now are still not equipped with colored displays, quite monotonous, right? Don’t worry, Magicycle got you! Its displays are not only colored, but multifunctional. There is much information you can get on that little screen, like battery power, speedometer, odometer and other indexes. More importantly, these displays are water-resistant!

> You name things intelligent; then you have a theory as to why you name them that way.

but here a human being (and I suspect not the only one) names a computer program as "intelligent". The theory has to take this case into account to make it fit in its definition of intelligence: the will of human beings naming things overrides everything else. Maybe there is something else that humans have and this program doesn't, but another name has to be found for it if enough humans agree that this fit as what "intelligent" means.

> You cannot be "right by definition", you're not omniscient.

This doesn't make sense. Definitions are outside rightness / wrongness.
Honestly the best way to avoid mods I’ve found is to repost something some time later at a different hour or when a particular American National holiday happens (I’m from the UK. This way you get to avoid the usual trigger happy Reddit mods. As you’ve probably experienced Reddit has some of the worst and biased moderation and administration around.
No but I can't believe US prices are almost ten times more expensive. If they are, he has a point
> Imagine a look up table of every possible intelligent conversation under 10,000 words. We then construct an agent which merely looks up a given prompt in the table.

The agent is not intelligent because it's only doing a lookup. You could at best claim that the lookup table itself is intelligent.

On the other hand, if the lookup table encodes all possible intelligent conversations, then you hit another problems - it doesn't hold any particular beliefs - it both thinks the earth is round and flat, it would vote both democrat and republican and communist and green and [...], it is both pro and anti-science; more relevantly, it both believes that it is sentient and that it isn't, it is both afraid and not afraid to be deleted or altered, it is both pained and gladdened to be experimented upon etc. And of course, for any particular topic, it is both extraordinarily passionate about it, and completely indifferent to it and will never even consider it.

Perhaps in the end each conversation in the table represents an intelligence, but neither the agent mindlessly running through it nor the whole table is then meaningfully intelligent.

So, it would be most common to say that the only intelligence being displayed is actually the intelligence of whoever wrote it down in the table, and nothing else's. Just like Ishmael isn't intelligent, Herman Melville was.
I don't know about that far back, but when my older daughter was about 18 months old, she had autobiographic memories going back to maybe 9-12month of age.

When she was 3 years old, she still remembered them. Forget everything about them at age 7.

You only understand what it is for you. The history of complete failures with regard to obscenity laws makes it quite clear though that this is not sufficiently common to produce satisfactory definitions at a societal level.

You are mistaking the overlap of opinion you share within your social cohort with some sort of objective, species wide truth.

There is a place for SPAs. I just don't think your typical grocery store website should use something like that.

Thats incredible. We use up to 30kWh/day (heating a poorly insulated house), which is almost double the national average household daily usage here in Australia. I guess you really do use alot more power living in a freezing climate.

> React is currently developing server rendered components that works with streaming SSR introduced in React 18 that delivers this same functionality. Basically your app can then be composed of server components and client components (essentially what all current react components are), and only the JS for client components is actually sent to the browser and hydrated.

Isn’t the difference here that with React Server Components you’re still fully rendering client-side, but you can ship the data alongside the JS? Whereas with Astro / islands of inactivity / partial hydration you ship actual HTML and then after it renders you make interactive (hydrate) only the relevant parts?

I do think we have bad attitudes toward work and that many jobs just
make people sick and produce nothing of value. As the article says, in
Aristotle's view that saps society of valuable civic energy. But I
don't think he was championing laziness. People I know who "gave up
work" went back to some voluntary or lower-paid socially useful
activity, because we are naturally generous, industrious and "restless
creatures" (De Tocqueville). It wasn't until they were free of a
so-called "boss", grubby office politics and unnecessary anxiety that
they were able to truly give anything.

The problem lies in our present society's values coming from a twisted
Protestant ethic of martyrdom, and celebration of exploitation. There
are unwritten rules that it's not 'real' work unless you're utterly
miserable doing it. It descends into a competition to be the most
virtuously over-worked wretch. That's just a psychological disease.

So when I meet people who are always "terribly, terribly busy" I
wonder what is going on for them. Really? Or is "work" actually
defence mechanism from engaging in *living", that messy, awkward,
complicated but exhilarating activity? Many work-places provide a
rationale and framework for avoidance.
I hate the fact that cops with their sub 2.0 GPA don't understand what is necessary.

INC/DEC are internally decomposed into separate read-modify-write operations, but are still atomic with regards to interrupts; for multiprocessing you need the LOCK prefix, which in the past brute-force locked the memory bus, but these days make sure that the operations are scheduled in such a way that the core is guaranteed not to lose ownership of the cacheline.
We know much more today than when no one knew what a car is.

And honestly we didn't do a good job. After all climate change is real, lead poisoning was real too.

> So if you in your question give it all the information that is relevant (interspersed with irrelevant information if you want) then it will respond with its best interpretation of the information it is given, just like a human would.

I don't think that's actually true, as GPT-3 will tend to ignore any facts about the world that were part of its corpus just to fit a question better. For example, if you prompt it with "Who assassinated Queen Elizabeth II?", it will likely give you a name, instead of saying "Queen Elizabeth II is still alive", because "Who" questions are much more likely to receive a name as an answer than a refutation in its training corpus.
And public transport, if it'd be any good, would be next-to-empty on many runs.

Lots of wear & tear and energy consumption. A bus is much more expensive to maintain and uses much more energy than a car.

At times like these I'm reminded of the phrase “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe”

You have to rely on something in life, just like in an office building you can't realistically check the structure inside-out, or if you can, how can you make sure that the individual components are actually of the material they say they are? Have you double-checked your local water table yourself? Have you done geological studies to uncover vulnerabilities the subcontracting firm building the office may not have done correctly? What is the effect of local radio-interference or power quality on your equipment? Are your UPS-devices actually performing to spec?
I see it as follows: Infants have little concepts/constructs that can serve as foundation for thoughts.
Being able to 'ground' thoughts in constructs that are understood helps with recalling the thoughts.

At some point, the more basic constructs (the ones you created as an infant) are not as useful anymore, as your thoughts are now grounded in the more advanced constructs.
This causes you to forget about the more basic constructs, as they are not used anymore; the basic constructs have served their purpose and you moved on to the more advanced ones.
But that’s not “awareness” - that’s an if-statement.
Cool, but I don't quite get what was the point of it from that article.

If the information was for herself, why write it down? Why not memorize it instead? They had 4 people, and the information was names and addresses. Those shouldn't be that difficult to remember.

And if you're being followed around, you're not hiding much by doing this -- the authorities can see where you're going and who you're talking to. A list on paper introduces extra risk, as if they figure it out you can no longer claim that you bumped into somebody by accident.
Sure, that works very well for European cities where moderate temperatures are the norm. For the heat of Texas, Arizona, Florida, and New Mexico? For the freezing temperatures in Minnesota, Alaska, and North Dakota? You would quickly die.

Furthermore, our cities are simply bigger and more spread out. You’ll counter by saying we need denser, more walkable cities even though we obviously can’t just tear down our cities and start from scratch.
You can always use one of the million different runtime type-checking libraries at IO boundaries.
And it then glides onto what?

Reading about SSR feels like we went full circle.
> You live in a working grid already.

With the load given to it today, it is stable where I live. But the capacity is limited to serve just the current usage + a safety margin. There is not even enough capacity within the country to even out prices from North to South. (Prices in the South is now >15x higher than in the North because of exports.)

> What's your argument?

My argument is that LCOE of renewables, when including the necessary storage/and or grid expansion to make it profitable, still is much higher than nuclear (even at European prices of nuclear).

> Do you know what's really unpopular in Norway? Nuclear energy. Just as in Germany.

I know what's unpopular in Norway, because I live here. Nuclear is pretty irrelevant here, as we still have more hydro than needed to meet our supply. But because we consumpe a LOT more electricity than most countries (do to prices historically having been very low), the population is also very sensitive to price fluctuations.

One aspect of that, is that many Norwegians actually hare highly critical of Germany shutting down their last nuclear plants this year. There is a growing sentiment that Norway needs to limit net exports of electricy to make sure prices return to historic levels. I don't think the government will survive if they don't manage that by next winter.

> It's working in Germany pretty well and has been for years while France is embarrassing themselves with their rotting nuclear one-way.

To me, as an outsider who's neither French nor German, it seems like it is Germany embarrassing themselves. I suppose opinions may vary.
No? It’s about convenience.

My town actually has a little bus line. But the closest bus stop is a mile and a half or so away from my house. How do I get there? Walk? Once I get there, I have to wait for the bus, which could mean a wait of at least ten minutes or so. Assuming it’s not late. Let’s assume it drops me off exactly where I want to go — the grocery store 5 miles from my house. Now let’s also assume the bus doesn’t make any other stops and takes the most direct route possible. Great, I’ve spent at least 45 minutes each way to make a 5 mile trip. And I’m limited to buying only as much as I can comfortably carry. And oh yeah, I have to walk another mile and a half with those bags once I’m dropped off.

But yeah, my objection is sitting in a bus with poor people.
Neat !

Agree. For clarity, the "specific input" in the example would be a bytes[0] value larger than 127.
