They weren't for about 100 years, but automatics are now mostly better than manuals in terms of performance and economy. Unfortunately, some the the things that make them "better" like 8 gears makes the driving feel worse, with constant shifting. The other big gain is in improved torque conversion.

A bit absurd to roll out all these fertility stats but never even mention social issues behind these trends, like a patriarchal culture, excessive over work, poor conditions for retirees…
I really see no way out of this unless our economic models change drastically.

For the population to actually grow, some people will need to make three kids. I just don't see that happening at scale at all. Most won't even make two kids, forget about three.
I always admired George, his simplicity and vision. But after this I respect him even more:

What he didn’t take into account is that comma isn’t run by rational actors in suits sitting on a committee. It’s run by me, George Hotz. I’m willing to lose $1M before I give him $10k. We will hire an amazing legal team, fight this, and while doing so invalidate his patents so they can’t be used against anyone else. Not because it’s rational, but because it’s the right thing to do.

This only can come from a strong character. Very rare these days where everybody calculates their angles even in matter of just cause or "right thing to do so" staff. Sometimes you need to get hit for good cause. You'll get stronger, but more importantly society as a whole will get stronger. Every win against patent trolls matters. Who knows how many great companies did they destroyed, which would make big change in our world. How many inventions delayed. Fuck them George.

Yes, exactly - it's hill-climbing. Sisyphean optimization, you might call it.
No, it's the first element, if it's a 32 bit int it still occupies bytes

0..4

the second int occupies bytes

4..8

you can see the array up to the second int occupies the contiguous space 0..8 which 0..4*2 and it has TWO elements

Serious question, how much would you stake on that happening?

I'm using icon font to show a grid of icons, where each icon can be clicked to toggle it "on" or "off". Example: https://i.imgur.com/EHYHVDw.png

When I was implementing this, I initially experimented with the img tags – easy to implement, easy to have multi-color icons. But the grid can potentially have 100s of rows, potentially resulting in 1000+ of img tags. When testing with img tags, my site became noticeably sluggish (on a quick desktop PC). With icon fonts, the icon grid is basically lines of text, and the browser can render it with no noticeable performance impact.
Dependently typed languages such as Idris or Agda uses types for validation. Their type systems are also Turing complete, but you are only allowed to use total functions (that do halt) as proofs in types.
Except that humans are now in a situation where modern medicine has also allowed us to live much longer. The natural cycle of birth-aging-death has been disrupted. You suddenly have a world where there are too many 80 year olds and not enough 8 year olds.

By 2030, I expect the number of EV produced to exceed the number of ICE vehicles. EV doesn't need a gearbox, which makes the discussion about manual vs automatic transmission moot.

In terms of vehicle external design, modern vehicles are designed for pedestrian and passenger safety, and that emphasis pushes towards a consensus design of the jelly bean look. EVs with their "frunk" will further evolve that design as it means that there isn't a honking great lump of steel in the front of the car.

As for the driver UI/UX, touch screens for controls that the driver needs to operate while driving are a definite negative. I expect that there will be studies by the various standards bodies regarding this that will require movement back to haptic feedback requirements in the design rules.
OTH the best programmers in the world proudly call themselves 'coders' (the 'demo scene coders'). And TBH, every time somebody calls themselves a 'software engineer' I have to supress some heavy eye rolling, what currently goes as acceptable quality level in software development simply isn't worth calling it 'engineering'.
For me, I think there's an element of "discoverability" that most programming languages doesn't have. With a visual scripting language you can literally see the nodes you can use and drag them on a canvas with a reasonable chance of making something happen.

Programming languages, even if you start up with some kind repl you cannot naturally guess the primitives, you are forced to read a tutorial or manual, that's quite a lot friction to onboard someone. (Same kind of things applies to a GUI vs a shell)
> Surrogacy will be the next big thing

It might, but its still not going to change the population decline pattern.

No one is going to have three kids with surrogacy. At most, people will have one or two. Stabilization at best. Not growth.
uBlock Origin has that option.
The supply and demand for a good may go up or down as population decreases, depending on if a good was artificially constrained, etc...

I feel like for people living in big cities, where things are expensive simply because too many people want to live there, things might start to get easier.
Right... So now I'm reading about Carmack instead of working. This is going to be great.

I’ve always found “content” to be such an abhorrent concept: what might otherwise be art in search of an audience is now reverse-engineered for “customers”. The name “content” is appropriate because it exists mostly to fill (and be excreted by) the endless pipes of the platforms who share almost none of economic value they’ve captured off the back of it.
It's not just the extra wiring, but the extra time; each additional computation layer in an integrated circuit introduced delays that would made the operation noticeably slower.
That's been fixed in one of the recent patches, works fine for text content now.

How does a patriarchal culture contribute to lower fertility rates? If anything I would expect the opposite effect.
I'm wondering if it could be a cultural issue. Traditionally, the man has been the main provider. Even though it doesn't make much sense in a modern society, attitudes takes time to adjust.

Maybe she (subconsciously) considers this differently than if the situation was reversed.
LOL! This is very gratifying in a kind of egotistical way. Myself and some close friends (artists, musicians, game developers) have always, always found 'content' too disgusting to ever utter. If we have to, we pronounce it "caaaaahhhhhntent". Blech.

I always had a massive personal problem with "community" depending on usage. Are you talking about a neighborhood where people know each other? Little League? Block parties? Barn raisin's? Totally fine. That's community. Bacteria? Bees? Cool, that's a biological definition.

Extend it to something like a corporate apartment complex where I've never said more than one sentence at a time to a neighbor on my way in? ("Join our community, sign a lease today!") Now you're getting gross. Programming languages, ala 'ruby community', 'c++ community'? I'm giving you the side eye. You'd better be referring specifically to the people who go to conferences, meet each other, serve on committees, and write in journals or at least blogs so that members of this alleged community know of each other a little. If you call everybody who writes C++ code 'the C++ community' I don't want to talk to your euphemistic ass anymore.

But the most revolting usage of all, the one that's sure to make me have to lie down and breath, is extending it to Internet-Only Shit. Forums. Groups. Discords. I don't know you, I've never met you, I've never seen you, I don't know whether you're a dog, if I even recognize your gibberish username chances are excellent that I don't like you, I'm here because I have a crippling addiction not because we're all buildin' somethin' together....

Oh dear. What was the other one?

Oh yeah. Culture. It's quite like community. Anthropological and biological definitions. It's basically fine as a descriptive word. But this one... I've never enjoyed the actual thing that it points to, at least in many cases. I never liked how people almost always glorify these so-called cultures. Talk about them glowingly, with reverence. Can't say anything bad or criticize a culture unless you're sure everyone agrees it's really really bad! Meanwhile ignoring that culture also transmits much grief, suffering, and cruelty. But then when people do try to bring up certain bad cultures I don't always like that either, depending.

And then the implications of everybody in a group being involuntarily programmed to talk the same, act the same, think the same, participate in dumb-as-fuck rituals that I would never say anything bad about of course, one of us, one of us, one of us... Shudder. Culture is the fuckin' twilight zone, man. Fine word though.

Passenger sure, but pedestrian? I’m not so sure. Maybe this is an American thing only but cars continue to get larger and larger, which is great for passenger safety, but decidedly less great for pedestrians.

I would say it's a way of price segmentation. One example are loyalty cards with rebates and bonuses. Customer A pays less for the same product than customer B. Of course there's the difference that customer B has seat heating enabled, but from the producers' perspective this doesn't matter a lot, because they have the same production process for everybody, somewhat similar to CPU binning.

It's a way for companies to extract more revenue. They hope that customers don't mind too much that they are segmented into groups.

But they do. They feel hurt and outraged if they discover that they paid more than the neighbor for the same product or if the product could be elevated to a higher level at no cost for the producer if only someone had the right key. Companies then try to be clandestine, to mollify customers with cheap added value or offering opt-in by a complicated process for free (loyalty cards, coupons, rebates with conditions, and so on).

It's a fundamental conflict between producers and consumers.

If you want a perfect market economy price segmentation should be avoided. It causes confusion for customers and therefore prevents price transparency. It enables rent seeking by companies.
I noticed that too. If you measure the MTF, it'll probably drop off quickly. Two lenses doesn't seem enough to correct aberrations.

120 GWh is not what most would describe as "little storage". The largest hydroelectric storage facilities in existence are in the single digit or low double digit GWh. And this is for a country with a relatively small population.

The current pipeline of utility battery storage projects in Australia is estimated to be 26GW ( https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2021/11/03/australias-... ). Storage ratios of announced projects seem to range from 2 to 4, so that would be storage in the range of 52GWh - 104GWh - not quite up to the assumed mix in the model but not too far short either.

This is also a big simplification. While dams can just totally shut off the flow of water downstream, this has big ecological impact and also impacts availability of water in population centers that draw from the river. Most dams always release a minimum amount of water to ensure the river never runs dry. Much of his simulation has dams bottling up water for long stretches of time.

Did you miss the part where he imposed minimums on the hydro generation in order to keep it within historical limits:

However, to maintain consistency with historical generation,
hydro generation was also subject to the following constraints:

* Hydro generation was kept between 200 MW and 6,000 MW
* Weekly hydro generation was kept above 168 GWh
* Annual hydro generation was targeted at between 6% and 9%
of demand, though ideally closer to 15,000 GWh, or about
7.5% of demand.

I do however agree the hydro part is a little too oversimplified (going by what is in the article). A lot of Tasmania's hydro is run-of-river; the dam-based hydro systems can be very limited by weather-based issues (both too little rain, which hasn't been concern in the previous year due to a persistent La Nina, and too much, which limits how much can be discharged when downstream pondages are too full).
And lots of work is obvious to some not other engineers who need mentoring or docs to do it because they’re new to the company or field or tech. White board situations are far and few between ime.
Well, someone has to create the models. If You're lucky and there's plenty of good modellers in Your use case / hobby, good for You. Have fun printing.

What the OP however refers to is the "rapid prototyping" that 3D printers unlocked for masses. If You learn even some basic modelling (e.g. few primitives in OpenSCAD for programmers), it's trivial to do test fits and whatever gigs You need.

I haven't realized it myself until some months ago I needed a small funnel for a bottle. After some thinking I realized it's much easier/faster to throw together a difference of two cones and two cylinders in OpenSCAD in about 10min and print it in maybe another 20 than spend the time looking around stores to find some close compromise.

I don’t remember where I saw this advice - but it was to the effect of; instead of splitting bills equally, each spouse contribute say 20% of their take home for common bills and X% for emergency funds. With percentages adjusting as bills change of course.
