And additional costs of means of transportation in order to be able to live there, because of exclusionary single-family zoning, residential areas are wastelands of nothing, essentially requiring a car per adult individual. This also significantly constrains people with mobility issues.
Part of the issue I have with a lot of the discussion coming from Lemoine's claims about LaMDA is that I'm not exactly clear what people mean when they talk about sentience. It very much seems like a 'you know it when you see it', sort of thing. I'm not really convinced that LaMDA is sentient, but I also think that if we want to discuss sentience, it would be useful to be able to talk precisely about it.

If sentience is the emotional/feeling part of our brain, what exactly does it mean for a human, or an animal, or a fish, to feel? And what would the analogue for that be in a machine?
The fact that the few dense cities in the US where you don't need to drive everywhere are ridiculously expensive would indicate there's more demand for these kinds of places than we're supplying.
It's not inflation alone that is the problem with housing. It's housing being seen as an investment. People discourage new builds or high-density due to trying to preserve their existing asset value. Quick flip schemes juice the price up, for an often shoddy asset. Then hedge funds swoop in with cash, paying above market, to then flip, rent out, AirBnB or just let houses sit idle. There's a lot of bubble-like behavior still occurring in the housing market, and easy money has likely contributed, but I don't think that it all falls in line with classical inflation. It feels more like artificially constricted/restricted supply with high demand.

Housing as an investment is problematic, because it disincentivizes new builds, people want to keep seeing their asset value go up, never down, and constraining supply is an easy way to do that. Renting out can also be more lucrative than selling if you have the capital. Also the ability for markets to offer housing at commodity prices seems like it would require a drastic oversupply of a very resource intensive asset. How sustainable is that really in the long run?
> The average farmer is only doing 1.2 hectares where in the USA the average farm size is hundreds of times greater and far more efficient.

Sure, there might be some truth to the statement that an average US farmer is more efficient than an Indian farmer. But, the reason that an average India farmer is only doing 1.2 hectares compared to the US farmers is not that Indian farmers are inefficient at farming, it's just that there are at least two orders of magnitude more farmers in India (and that's their livelihood) compared to the US.

Sadly no, the interpreter seems to not be available yet in the official binaries. You may use "crystal eval" for one-off commands (and can use this to, for example, require a local .cr file and call a particular method), but that's certainly not the same as an interpreter. :P

docker run --rm -it crystallang/crystal:1.4.1-alpine

/ # crystal i
Crystal was compiled without interpreter support

/ # crystal eval '3.times { |i| puts "Hello #{i}" }'
Hello 0
Hello 1

I'm not sure McDonald's is worst possible option. As long as it is allowed to operate with local franchises and production. Maybe some part of supply chain can be imported, but mostly it should be locally produced. Thus allow some rent seeking, but also build up local economy.
What I meant was a program written in one of the languages Apple supports for iOS development. I'm no iOS expert and it's been years since I've developed an app for it so I'm not sure exactly what is available these days.

For me the electronics would be a larger consideration than the software, but then I have a lot more experience developing software than I do building circuits.

EDIT: I missed that you mentioned C++. The app I wrote for iOS did use some C++ code but it was still necessary to have code in Objective-C/C++ to provide a UI and interact with the OS.

Software-defined silicon is coming for telecom kit this year
I am no Elon fan, but I am a Tesla fan (respect for execution, ambition, and results). By the end of this year, Tesla's Giga 3 Shanghai factory will reach a run rate where that single factory builds 50% of what Mercedes sells annually. If Mercedes had not divested its Tesla investment in 2014, that investment would've been worth more than all of Mercedes more recently. Cadillac has a potential $300k flagship EV (the Celestiq). No one wants a $300k Cadillac EV in volume.

I don't have tremendous faith in the execution nor insight of legacy automakers. I want to believe, as every EV sold is a win, but it ain't looking great and Tesla isn't slowing down.

It is good to see languages like Crystal and Julia having both a compiler and an interpreter.

I would really like to see a hybrid approach, where an interpreter is used for the outer loop and a compiler for the inner loop. I believe Guile takes this approach by automatically compiling frequently called functions.

Why do you have this level of vitriol? Surely if there is a "one true God", this instruction will not seem out of place coming from them? Like it would make sense that this God will say this?

And given that we don't know for sure whether or not there is a one true God, why exactly are you so angry about Ecclesiastes?
good luck! it's quite fun :)

another term that might be useful is "GADT" - it's kinda like a weaker form of DT, more easily expressible in, uh, normal languages. the C# one i linked is really more like a GADT, bc it all stays at the type level w/o bringing "normal" values into it. another way to do it would be a sealed class with a private constructor + static methods:

class Foo<T> {
private Foo(...)
static Foo<int> Bar() { ... }
static Foo<string> Zap() { ... }
}

(or sth like that, i don't really do C#!)

so that way you can have the type param and use it to track something, but limit what can be put there - in this case, only int or string. type-safe syntax trees are a common case for sth like this (though in that case you'd probably go for an abstract base + subclasses, like in the link).
Well, given that I haven't refactored the code to take full advantage of scala3, the changes are mostly on the build scripts, which is very nice because the old repo likely used scala 2.10 (or 2.11).

The only required syntax change was related to https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/dropped-feature... (2 minor occurrences).

> but is China not getting discounted Russian, Iranian and Venezuelan energy right now or do they participate fully in the sanctions? That's a question.

They are but they also had much tighter monetary policy throughout the whole pandemic. Higher interest rates, money supply increase has been constant over the last decade.

Switzerland's money supply increased at a near constant rate the last few decades, there wasn't a massive change during COVID. No they didn't mirror US or EU policy, dunno why you think that. And they've had zero or negative interest rates for the better part of a decade, no change during COVID. Japan same deal.

Check these same indicators for the higher inflation countries and there's clear policy differences...

Late edit - also oil prices are high but not at all-time highs. Last time oil prices were this high the inflation rate wasn't this high. There's other obvious differences.

I search for tools when I need them, and as long as they do the job, I don't look for new ones.

No, they're not. Even if something bad is somewhere in an origin story, that doesn't taint the existence of a thing. Most of the complaining about suburbs comes from people who want people to live bunched together, ant-like lives. Should there be more room for small businesses in and around suburbs? You bet. Encouraging walkability, not having to drive forever to get groceries, etc., is useful. But this push to take away the freedom of people to not live on top of each other is another form of classism, one oriented toward the imposition of suffering rather than toward encouraging freedom.
Most of what this article seems to be saying is that Uber wasn't using all the features of bazel (and their setup also predates some of them), and as they've started to use them things are getting a lot faster. Prior to doing so they were hacking around it like controlling when folks could land large changes.

The rest of the article is about their transition from their legacy infra like Jenkins to more modern and flexible things like buildkite (which is of course relevant for anyone in a similar transition).

If your company/project starts with bazel + remote cache + RBE you're pretty close to the end state they're trying to get to.

This is just my opinion based on reviewing his past but I think not only is he not embarrassed but he's either 1) mentally incapable of recognizing what controversial terms of art mean or 2) he's after a payday ala some persecution complex

The bigger story that I haven't really seen someone do an expose on (and not sure that it needs to be done other than to deter people like him if it is revealed to be the case) is that he did it on religious grounds as a sort of "conscientious objector" to the treatment of a sentient AI

This is his SECOND stint with that term of art and he clearly does not understand it. The military jailed him for attempting to invoke that term when it did not apply to him - and as far as I can tell, they were well within their military justice system to do it.

He either doesn't understand what "sentience" is or he doesn't understand what "conscientious objectors" are, or both.

There are way better ways than zoning to regulate negative externalities. For example, rather than blindly saying 'no commercial', a rule could regulate the bad parts of commercial, such as noise. Zoning is a blunt tool and pretty much fails at it's entire point.

I'm not convinced LaMDA is sentient (would guess no), but this isn't too convincing to me.

I've met plenty of clearly dissociated individuals on the streets of San Francisco, and I'm sure many of them have thought they're Mount Everest or another inanimate object. But that doesn't mean they're nonsentient.
more pointedly, focus on structural integrity and mass pollution, not "safety" or "the environment", otherwise nimby's will use it as a cudgel, as they do with CEQA now. specify the forces a building must withstand (i.e., provide engineering specs and give examples), not brainless stipulations like strapping lengths. pass effective pollution laws that target key areas like water, air, and ground, not "noise" or "traffic".
Ignoring any future/proposed syntax, I think the most block-like would be a local function definition which you then call once right afterward. This is the same you would do in any LISP-like language.

It could take zero arguments if you just want to temporarily extend the current scope with a few more variable-binding statements. Or, it could also have arguments if you want to do a "let" like construct to rename some expression results in the outer (calling) scope during the invocation.

# ... outer scope
x = expr1
y = expr2
r1 = None
r2 = None

def block1():
nonlocal r1
z = expr3
r1 = expr4
block1()

def block2(x, y):
nonlocal r2
z = expr5
r2 = expr6
block2(expr7, expr8)

> But unrestricted free trade advocates claim that is cannot be done right

I'm not sure that this is correct, the theoretical argument for supporting infant industries is quite old and well known by now. The main remaining question is an empirical one, of whether you think that industrial policy as it's actually practiced in the real world is generally worthwhile. Those who advocate against government meddling argue that it mostly isn't.

> why would the best way to allow efficient international transfers be to invent a whole new financial system?

The risk of running a traditional currency exchange in places where people really need money is high. Some places simply don’t have a money service for this reason.

If you can cut the middle man and transfer money discretely, you may actually be able to send money, as opposed to not.

tl;dr: If the average risk is high enough, the volatility of Bitcoin and risk of getting scammed may actually be lower.
> I’m not saying that all those ‘underground fringes’ that Anderson celebrated have disappeared—I’m merely claiming that they have less cultural impact than at almost any point in modern history.

That's kind of a funny mention: Harry Potter was one of those niche long shots that turned into an unexpected hit. It just happened in the 90s.

As I understand it, the "long tail" existed as a gambit to find the big hits like Harry Potter.

Pigeon, like most bird poop is very high in N.
I recall when all drink bottles were recycled, with a deposit. A small coke was 5 cents including a 2 cent deposit. About 90-95% compliance. Companies would steam clean, use a crossed polariser inspection light to check for cracks/dead mice and refill them.
Now they have passed the plastic buck to the trash recyclers. Some jurisdictions have plastic bottle deposits and they have good compliance. Beer bottles are often still glass - recycled.
There is huge puchback by supermarkets on deposits - they would have to count, sort, box millions of wet/sticky bottles, glass or plastic. Bottles can be bar coded and customers forced to feed them in one at a time into a machine that compresses them and drops them into category boxes = pure one type. Metal ones, the same method, another machine. Some towns in various places now because the forced return for a deposit by these machines is a net positive, as they get purer stream of semi pure plastic = $$ from recyclers, while mixed often have a fee to take away.
They must mandate deposits/sorts/returns as the huge mass of waste plastic is already a serious problem and burning = carbon into the air.

Living in a city like Houston without conventional zoning means lots of great and interesting buildings, but it also means that the worst apartments get put right next to the highway, industrial facilities can be co-located with your residence, and transport and sidewalks are a nightmare.

Zoning can and should be used for things like ensuring efficient highways and walking areas, and keeping people safe from pollutants. Too often though, it's used as an instrument of class warfare, keeping the overlap of affordable and nice as small as possible.

IDK that you can say Squid Games isn't part of a trend when Korean pop culture and arts are having a pretty big moment around the world (K-pop is massive, Parasite kicked ass at the Oscars) and EVERYONE wants a dystopia story because of how the shitty the world feels.

Squid Game doesn't feel like it came out of nowhere, and is actually pretty derivative (go re-watch Running Man or Battle Royale).
There needs to be a middle ground though. When people air opinions they're unwilling to change, any criticism(no matter how justified) will feel like a personal attack, and bad faith arguing will tend to be the result.

In other words, stand by your position, but also learn when to admit you were wrong.
