True, ideally we incentivize elimination of all carbon emissions.

Still, even for concrete production close to half the emission is due to fuel burning, so taxing fossil fuel would have a large impact as it is easy to measure and implement. (You have comparatively few producers).

For chemical reactions related emissions (other than burning carbon), it might be easier to simply mandate carbon capture system by law for those industries.
Metal hydride is out. Methane needs a carbon source. A lot of real capital is betting now on hydrogen (mainly stationary) and ammonia (mobile).
This is my first technical post about my heavily WIP language. These are some new features that I'm excited about.
> And, don't we just call suburbs without a city center, you know, towns?

Towns still typically need to manage their own utilities while suburbs don't.
Detroit's population has been declining for 60 years, and the population of the Metro area is still in the millions. The city itself is at 624,177 in '20. The downfall is years and the making and has to do with more than auto manufacturing. It's not like the nearby cities stuck with a single point of failure for a century, manufacturing is big but varied and the economy diversified over time. Across the U.S. manufacturing has been sensitive to the rise of competing economies.

strongtowns actually names Detroit as a very early adopter of suburban city planning and sprawl. The argument is they are in part reeling from the impact of these policies faster than other cities.
Well, you can't vote where you don't live. The large problem is the lack of appropriate land taxes in high cost municipalities. And you can't vote to change that until you live there, and once you live there, you are much less incentivized to vote against your self interests.
Yeah in my modern Civic I use Carplay touchscreen all the time. The only controls I need during driving are:

- volume

- change the song

- air conditioning

- signalling

- cruise control

All of those are on the steering wheel besides air conditioning which is still a dial.

For the touchscreen I open Spotify and then Waze and use voice commands to set a destination before I drive (which is pushing one button to toggle voice and one button to select the top result). I might ID a police car or hazard using Waze if I'm in slow traffic but usually my passenger does that. That's the only touch screen apps I use.
There's no doubt that our current Western way of life would be hard or impossible to recreate without the goods and services provided outside of the West, but there's certainly a smaller experiment in the same vein going on since 2020. The amount of national security threats alone caused by not being able to reliably ship goods internationally has created an interesting drama to watch unfold.
Thanks for the suggestion. I agree. I will keep it in mind next time I submit something.

Maybe university-pedigree in the US?

"Ivy league" isn't quite as closed as the caste system, but multi-generational matriculation is at least perceived as common, pop culture equates attending one of a select number of universities with success/intelligence/power/wealth, and 8/9 SCOTUS Justices graduated from 2 law schools. You also get a hierarchy of social standing with Ivy league at the top, community colleges and no-college at the bottom, and some arcane ordering of various public and private institutions in between which you need to be a cultural insider to parse.
In my experience, every local library (both public and collegiate) have had exactly this kind of space available for free use. You just sign up and get to utilize a closed quiet room with a desk, some chairs, and whatever other resources the library has to offer.

I suppose the one difference is that they don't confiscate your electronics, but many have had places to store personal things, so with a tiny bit of discipline, you can easily achieve your idea for free by simply using public services that are already out there!

Perhaps some people would prefer the aesthetic of a boutique startup that seeks to provide this type of space, but it seems like there's just better things to spend your time on then trying to monetize something like this.
Yes, nonsense was the point. Congrats.

FTX exchange seems to be going great and doing fine. Tons of revenue, very low head count and lots of cash at their disposal. So much, that they are offering to take over other failing startups affected by the downturn.

That is a sign of a company that will survive in the long term since they are thriving even in these conditions.

That's an open question, and the reality is that you have no clue what will really happen. Most likely the US would intervene militarily at some level with sea and air attacks, perhaps a blockade.
The ford truck products were like this in the 80s and 90s. The "all push button" radio of that era was spec'd out the way it was because of that goal.
Regarding hardware support, will this run on actual Apple silicon? If not, it seems like Linux would have been the better choice for maximizing hardware support, if only for Asahi Linux's work.

(btw, I don't know much about this kind of work, so I have no idea if it's feasible to port the drivers from Asahi to FreeBSD, or if they'll have to start mostly from scratch)
Bear in mind that this 10mb is not a fixed multiplication factor. Like, doubling you code size doesn't double your binary size with native-image because that base contains a lot of stuff that's generic. Not just GC but stuff like support for timezones.

It also contains a cached heap (in fact most of it is cached heap) which is one reason these binaries start as fast as C programs do. Especially important for Clojure where the runtime and libraries are written in such a way as to do lots of unnecessary work at startup. Native images can cache all that so you get rid of the startup overhead of Clojure itself.
Those aren't really equivalent situations though. Take moon landings, for example: the most obvious problem there is that it was ridiculously expensive for no real commercial gain. It was basically a dick waving contest for the government, so while there were steady improvements in space tech after, there was no reason to keep improving at moon landings specifically, or at least no commercially compelling reason.

Now, if the original moon landings had already been reasonably priced, and there was a ton of super rare resources on the moon, different story.

In contrast, training machine learning models like this, while not exactly cheap, is clearly cheap-er by a few orders of magnitude. And there's obvious commercial application: near-instant art in an absurd variety of styles, that can be created by anyone, no actual art skill required. That means there's the incentive and necessary resources to fund further improvements, and at least at the moment, there doesn't seem to be an obvious technological 'wall' that we won't be able to get past (though of course the better it gets and the fewer flaws there are, the less room there is for further improvement).

It's not just buttons. It's PCB space, testing, special SW etc.
Per residence storage is likely going to be fairly niche and much more expensive unless you're using the heat in both directions. Crompressed hydrogen is way too big and dangerous, cryo is unfeasible and far too dangerous for small scale and expensive at large, and metal hydride storage is still too expensive to put mined methane to bed.

Ammonia (as the other commenter mentioned) is a major contender, but I expect it will be blocked soon for small scale by the methane lobby with the rationalization of "der terrerrists haev nitrogen'. Synthetic methane is the other major contender.
Isn't this an infinite regress?

Joking aside, I wonder if it's a difference in much pride is tied to cars in USA vs Europe, or if there's the same amount of pride but just fewer predatory loan offerings allowed in Europe. Is it a legal limit, or just people unwilling to commit to 8 year loans?

I suspect if there were some government mandated limit of 5 years on car loans you would see no-frills cars take off like gangbusters in the USA as well.
Largely unrelated to the content but cutting the fade animations would really improve the presentation.
That wouldn't help because they're not picking master to ship, they're picking mailing list patches and unmerged or rejected Gitlab merge requests directly.

If only they would ship master, that's at least somewhat sane.
Things I regularly adjust...
- seat heaters
- HVAC temp/fan level
- audio volume
- audio track

Last two are via steering wheel controls on both our cars (BMW, Honda). But, on different sides of the wheel, so I frequently hit cruise control buttons when intending to hit volume.

First two are via physical buttons in both cars. However, buttons are located in very different locations, one uses dials and the other paddles. Also, the BMW has what I feel is a needlessly complicated fan control/temp system with a left/right split and also a chest vent temp setting that functions independently of what the HVAC panel displays, which means even in "auto" mode, there are manual settings that need tweaked (and this is all in a small 230i coupe - total overkill).

I can't imagine the mental load using a Tesla, where the seat heat control is burned 2-3 menus deep at the bottom edge of a touchscreen where the virtual buttons actually change function depending on what your doing. It's a UX mess and never should have been allowed.
There's not much reason to improve things. No one's out here saying "you don't get this job because you chose new technologies when they weren't needed".

Even if you can equate glue code with trash, we seem to have unlimited space or a black hole to throw that trash.

>But the arts are somehow different. There's this expectation that artists should produce works for the benefit of society

its kinda good that it is expected that way. art is placed at the level of love. u dont want love to be offered on the market. somehow that feels wrong even when its legal (eg., prostitution) and serving some purpose. artists need a society that appreciates that creativity is a gift and its source is mysterious. the society would then allocate a certain % of income to support the arts. but we now have a society that is each man for himself in a dog-eat-dog world.
It's quite common in hard real-time systems, especially in aeronautics, to only allow malloc on startup if it's allowed at all. There are many problems with malloc() and especially free() - they typically don't have any maximum latency guarantees, and even worse, what happens when you can't get memory (e.g., due to leakage or poor packing)?

In many systems this isn't a problem. The number of engines, flaps, etc., don't change at run-time :-). If they change, you're on the ground in maintenance mode and can reboot.

https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1121372_why-mazda-is-pur...

Mazda learned it already and prefers HUDs. Tactile interfaces (buttons, wheels, keyboards...) perform generally better when well arranged. Mercedes did a good job about that thirty years ago. Logical layout, one button one task, LEDs within a button representing the status and the buttons arranged in the layout of the seat.

I wonder how a complete industry just assumed that touchscreens are somewhat better just because their widespread in smartphones. Smartphone are small devices, require visual attention, every app is different and distracts the users, touchscreens are cheap and - therefore working on them is slow. Apple and Lenovo tried both the add a "TouchBar" but the tacticle keyboard has proven to be better. Apple tried also a touch area in Apple Remote, the current one is back to tactile buttons ;)

So if there’s a patch that fixes a devastating bug then distros should ship with the bug, got it.

Or reach out to the developer who does not respond to email (who is likely also not a signer of this open letter and who may or may not agree with it).

Multiply this (futile) reach-out step times however many developers are involved in touching any code of any project being shipped during any if the multiple days, weeks, or months between releases.

Which is probably hundreds of unanswered emails. Mmmkay.

If an AI can now draw a rembrandt, then it's not far off that an AI can read this:

Regular users are allowed to edit their own books.

Editors are allowed to edit any books with the same account id.

The public can read about any book that is not in draft status.

I need a domain model where users can write books with the following properties: userId, accountId, title, author, status.

status is an enum supporting draft, published, no longer available

I know this seems like a completely different paradigm, but I think we were wrong about General AI needed to replace programmers - we just didn't know how "normal AI" would go without being General AI.

I can also see this extended into the front-end at least for rudimentary forms. I can imaging someone doing a transfer AI to make front-ends have a consistent and nice looking feel that can change pretty easily - perhaps to match the user making the request.
> AOSP is fully working, open source Linux-based phone software

Uhh....no.I know for a Pixel 3a, you cannot even boot AOSP without compiling in the driver binaries:

https://source.android.com/setup/build/downloading#downloadi...

https://developers.google.com/android/drivers

And there is an entire vendor partition (On the Pixel 3a, it was >400 MB). However, even if a user built AOSP with those drivers, VoLTE, SMS on LTE, Wi-Fi Calling, eSIM, and a few other things do not work.

To get those features, one has to extract them from a stock image:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/extracting_blobs_from_zips

I can't imagine this is any better for newer Pixel phones, nor for any non-pixel phones. This will be true for compiling AOSP or any Android ROM.

On top of which, that Pixel 3a is effectively frozen at the kernel it has when it reaches EoL
Actually I think you're right.

There is no technical understanding of any of this in the minds of the people making these decisions. The distinction between republishing via AMP and linking takes longer than 5 seconds to explain, so will be ignored by everyone involved.

I think (again, personal opinion, ignore at will) that this is the last remnants of that broohaha being put to rest.
There's a reason suburbs are located directly adjacent to density and not islands of development in the middle of nowhere. Suburbs survive by proximity to density and, in most cases, pay no taxes to support that density. Further, they use the state (via zoning laws) to prevent the natural development of more housing within their borders, guaranteeing a perpetual state of dependence, and ensuring that prices stay high enough to keep out the riffraff.

It's a fundamentally parasitic arrangement.

What suburbanites want is to be close enough to the city to enjoy all the benefits of being in a major metro area, without the hassle of supporting the project of urbanity. They want all the upsides without participating in addressing the (very real) downsides.

A suburb is in physical reality little more than just another neighborhood that has declared itself to be something else entirely in order to shirk its responsibility to the whole (sort of like if I declared my bedroom to be a separate apartment, so that I didn't have to acknowledge my roommate's chore list). Declaring yourself independent of your metro's core city doesn't magically make it so. It's just sticking your head in the sand.
It's not the vehicle at all. It's the driver not knowing how to handle it.
Suburbs are towns (or small cities) in many parts of the US. I'm not sure it's even especially common in the US for cities to expand to engulf the whole surrounding area with a single central government. Although there are certainly examples such as Houston, I believe.

Of course it is relative but I would still assume a switch in aviation is easier to replace than a touchscreen.
Yes. For more about the actual plan - I recommend looking into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unrestricted_Warfare - the Chinese plan to take over the world.

The have recruited Russia in this effort (Russia doesn't mind getting their hands dirty - China likes to avoid physical wars, when possible see Sun Tzu - "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."). They plan to divide the spoils once the world moves on from a US Hegemony/Dollar based world.

Today's KDE can be almost identical to a MacOS desktop, if you customize it properly.

I'm a KDE user since 2010 and a week ago I purchased an M1 Pro (hopefully to install Asahi in the future). My desktop was basically a top bar with global menu, a few widgets and Latte Dock.

If I didn't know that Mac came up with the functionality before, I would think that it is Mac that feels like a skinned KDE
This is closer to no-code, but yeah.

Main reason to make the distinction is that most systems that parade themselves as "low-code" today are IME indistinguishable to high-code development to your average joe.

Even taking this example, the level of value totally depends on the degree of abstraction you can trust the computer to perform for you. There is a tremendous amount of nuance to human language and while we've come a very long way in that field of study, it's still a hard nut to crack.

You shouldn't feel bad but it's more of a matter that your lifestyle is likely heavily subsidized because your town doesn't have the tax base (nor will they raise your taxes) to support the infrastructure that's required to make suburbs function.

If you were paying the true costs of living in the suburbs this wouldn't be an issue, but there's a high likelihood you don't.

Cities will always be necessary because they are one of the most efficient ways (cheaper to build, maintain, and support) to account/house large amounts of people. If you want to live in other types of areas you should, ideally, be willing to pay the true costs.

I can't link the article since I'm on a subway but Strong Towns is a good resource explaining how suburbs bankrupt themselves in the future since they won't be able to pay for the costly maintenance of their infrastructure (water, electric, roads, etc):

https://www.strongtowns.org/
But towns that manage their own utilities do exist. That suggests that suburbs are not fundamentally unsustainable, they just need to adjust their calculations and expectations.
Wait... signaling? Like turn signals?
I bought a 2020 Honda Civic hatchback a while back and found it reasonably designed. There's a small touchscreen for Apple/Android integration, but the car itself has no internet connectivity, and the center console has plenty of physical buttons and knobs to control sound and climate.

Honda said they're not too keen about touchscreen-mania [1], but that seems to have gone away in more recent model-years (at least based on what I saw displayed at a recent auto expo).

“Instead of having a complex, catch-all solution, consider multiple focused solutions”

Aren’t most complex solutions just a recursive version of this strategy? I don’t hate this idea, in fact I often love this idea but it can more often than not pathologize into not invented here or the xkcd standards meme.
That has nothing to do with this touchscreen issue. Any car with a decent thermostat works like that, going back to at least 1991 (the model year of the oldest car I recall with a decent thermostat). There are plenty of cheap cars today with physical, non-thermostat climate controls.
Common RTK Query Usage (With React-Native)
Fetching infrastructure is a crucial thing in every code base, especially if you’re dealing with the frontend side of things — because most, if not all, of the data displayed is fetched from a server.
There are many great libraries, backed by a wide community, for React (or React Native), such as great and tested fetching infrastructure.
This is what led me to use RTK (Redux ToolKit) Query.
Wouldn't these be good examples? Boston is a pre-car city that weathered population decline well. Detroit was a city that rebuilt itself around the car and experienced decline.

The blobs are required by hardware OEMs, not by google themselves. You'd have the exact same issue when trying to run pmOS on the same hardware; it actually crops up throughout the embedded ecosystem. Pinephone and Librem 5 are quite exceptional wrt. minimizing the amounts of hardware-specific blobs that they require.
There seems to be a naive belief that if everyone just lived in dense urban cores there would be no need to pay for infrastructure beyond the city limits.
