That reminds me of a tiny fraction of an off hand discussion with some Microsoft engineers closer to the height of their big Mixed Reality investment hype stage and how questions of that become much more interesting when you've got 2D displays and 3D mixed reality displays sharing the same space. Disconnect a monitor but all the windows remain hovering in the 3D displays exactly where they had been. Connect another monitor in roughly the same plane and watch it pick up all those windows. The system has to know all of those positions anyway so in some ways, that sort of spatial navigation where even the displays are spatially navigated is "easier" than in 2D only. Not that storing all those 3D positions or much of anything else about Mixed Reality simulation is easy, by any stretch.

Some of the impression I was given too was how much more important things like spatial navigation were for Mixed Reality usability according to research and usability studies. In three dimensions our brains much more crave that things we put into a place stay put in that place exactly where we put them.

(But yes, doing it in 2D even on a single monitor was harder than it sounds. Another real world example of complications is things like removable read only drives: where do you store its customization and position info and is that something that you can accidentally burn to the disc and then never override?)
Why would you not tax the improvements? An empty lot isn't housing, if you're trying to disincentivize the hoarding of houses, wouldn't you want to target houses and not land property?

The "dogmatic definition" of open source is what has been used for decades. Applying it to something that doesn't meet that definition invites confusion.

If a project wants to do something different, and develop an "open project" under some terms that aren't open source, they are free to do so, but they shouldn't call it something it's not.
What? Something historically being named after an Apple product doesn't make it Apple's ecosystem.

I've used Pocket Casts on Android for many years, and before that on iOS. I don't even know what the Apple podcast app looks like -- I carefully chose a podcast player that wouldn't lock me into its ecosystem. Podcasts have always been an open ecosystem, one that I greatly appreciate.

It is in the sense that Radio Shack put TRS-80 as a brand on all of their computers up until the mid eighties when they started to move into PC clones. Xroar emulates the Color Computer which was known as the "TRS-80 Color Computer".

Though, to be sure, most often TRS-80 is used to refer to the Model 1, 3, 4 line. But plenty of people will think of the Color Computer when they hear TRS-80. Or, possibly, their line of rebranded pocket and laptop computers like the TRS-80 Model 100 or TRS-80 Pocket Computer 1.

Moore's law and more importantly dennard scaling both died in the mid 2000s. Nvidia is in fact successful because of the end of dennard scaling and the shudts do more mission specialized silicon like TPUs, and codec accelerators, inference engines are also a consequence of that.

Nvidia's performance gains in recent years has been about scaling chip size and making more efficient use of each transistor both in terms of power and count than anything else. A large part of that is minimizing how far data physically moves for any given workloads via stuff like HBM, memory compression, and smarter/larger caches.

In fact, Nvidia doesn't even really try to be on the bleeding edge nodes anymore because per transistor costs has been trending up or level on bleeding edge nodes for at least 5 years now.

Exactly. Such a definition of open source is hardly universal. I think of it as a sliding scale - to what extent is this open source? Does it allow me to:

* view, download and modify the source code?

* distribute the code as part of another project?

* distribute modified versions of the code?

* do whatever I like with it?

Arguing that unless you meet the OSI definition, you can’t call yourself open source is a little like saying you can’t call a peanut a nut: it all depends on the context of the conversation. At the OSI annual conference, sure this isn’t open source. On a Show HN I’m fine with it being open source.
In my opinion there are lots of external factors to it. I’m also German and we probably both know that especially lots of years back we could’ve set things up differently in terms of integration (which to some degree included learning the language).

I worked a six month contract at ASML years ago. One of the most fascinating things was touring around the spaces with an experienced team leader, who explained a lot of their processes. Note that the below comes from my experience there prior to 2006. Nothing that I'm going to explain here is company proprietary information. Even if I had that, I wouldn't expose it.

Each top machine costs hundreds of millions of dollars to build. They are built by a dedicated team of people who only work on that one machine, and they take it from soup to nuts, including the installation in the field. They spend months taking measurements at the site before they ever start building the machine in the first place. Their placement of the machine and the measurements is very precise -- if the machine has to be moved by a centimeter in any direction from the original measurements taken, they have to basically start over from scratch.

The machine is completely built in clean room facilities at the HQ in Eindhoven, taken all the way to the point where it is used to do good size batches of test runs of known chip designs. Those clean rooms operate way beyond the cleanliness levels of a normal chip lithography clean room. They are some of the cleanest clean rooms in the world.

Once completed, the machine gets completely disassembled and shipped to the customer, along with the team who built it. Then they rebuild it on site. Once rebuilt, it will take months of running in and tweaking before it's able to be considered fully operational. That process alone can take over a year, if the team runs into more problems than typical.

The machines are so sensitive that a truck driving down the road ten miles away can affect the output and may cause the machine to be knocked out of calibration.

From the time of placing the order to the time when the machine is considered fully operational, multiple years have passed.

And that was way back before 2006, when my wife and I moved back here to the US. I had seen the door behind which all EUV design was done, but I never got a chance to see inside. It was locked up like Cheyenne Mountain. And yes, I did previously have a TOP SECRET/SCI clearance, and I've been briefed on exactly what the ANMCC and Cheyenne Mountain look like.

I have no idea how much more complex and sensitive the processes used by ASML have gotten since. I do believe the top machines now cost over a billion dollars, each.
In Japan the inaka is shrinking, but the cities are shrinking too. In 2021 every single prefecture except Okinawa saw net population loss: https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-data/h01310/

Here are the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research's latest projections:
https://www.ipss.go.jp/pp-shicyoson/e/shicyoson18/t-page.asp

Virtually all municipalities in Japan, large or small, are already shrinking or will go into negative growth by 2025-2030. These 2018 projections predate COVID though, which has sped up the decline.

And yes, there are a few exceptions, but they're mostly things like ski area Niseko, which boomed on foreign tourism investment, and a few towns in Fukushima that grew because people were evacuated from the reactor zone.
> the moon could add a leap back 2 seconds every century to reconcile with Earth

This seems like a system built to catastrophically break the moment it has to scale even a little bit.

Why not start with a solid foundation? A native lunar time based on facts on its ground. One would also reference UTC, the same way many people have multiple clocks. But there's no need to be doing major relativistic correction between two internally-consistent blobs on the fly over the entire edge.
It’s rare that I come across a passage like this and even read on, much less generally agree with its author:

People who were born with dual citizenship because of their parentage are a special case. They're supposed to make a choice by age 22 IIRC, but in reality you're allowed to defer it for a while because you're "considering it". So people in this situation just keep doing this indefinitely. Not really legal, but it's not really enforced much AFAICT.

For someone who gained JP citizenship through naturalization, it's a different matter. From what I've read, they will check to make sure you renounced your old citizenship, and will revoke your new JP citizenship if you don't (which probably also means no visa eligibility).
OT but your post made me learn that in English "Tonne" and "Ton" denote two different units!
A better idea:

1. remove restrictions on building low cost housing like dormitories

2. allow people to turn their homes into boarding houses

This allows for things in between an apartment lease and living on the street.
This is a step back to the bad old days when every town had its own definition of noon. Communication and anything that required scheduling was a mess because there were too many local definitions of time.

I've lived in Germany myself (NRW). Idk, from my experience it's cool if you're in the young professional tech bubble but when you step outside of that it didn't feel good to me personally. Going out into smaller towns / cities to me at least it rapidly became evident that you're missing something.

Maybe I'm old fashioned or something. I still think there's something to be said for learning the local language (and c'mon if you've been there for 10 years, I'm sure you can pick it up).

This even goes without saying it's Japan where the level of english is far worse than that in Germany (where honestly the standard of English isn't anything like that you find in Sweden / Norway)

Recently when I take Yandex taxi, the drivers have regularly been asking me if I would tell them how much the price displayed to me was and what fare level I selected (the second question I find surprising, as the app description makes it sound like except for maybe Комфорт/Комфорт+ the cars are _not_ the same). The discrepancies vary quite a lot (and not in the driver's favour) ...

I've never gotten this question before, so maybe Yandex has gotten more aggressive in how they treat drivers recently?
Why should it be an attractive financial asset if you do live there? Why shouldn't it just be a depreciating asset like a car (which it would be if land was taxed effectively)?

Note that China was actually one of the biggest customers for ASML, going back to 2006 and earlier.

The difference is that China didn't get the latest and greatest machines. Taiwan did, but not China.

But ASML definitely had sales people in China that were willing to do whatever it took to make the sale. Including giving hundreds of gigabytes of free pirate DVD rips to their prospective customers. Guess how long that took over the 2Mbps E-1 lines that the local offices in China had to get back to the HQ offices in Eindhoven, where those could then get out onto the public Internet? Guess who helped run that central mail system that was frequently flooded by all these DVD rips that were being sent by the sales people to their customers?

Major cities would better serve the homeless and mentally ill by spending those dollars outside the city in low cost of living places. First their dollars will go further and they’ll be able to either support more people or they can support the same number of people better. Second, you put the homeless and mentally ill in places that are less competitive where they have a greater chance of being able to get back on their own two feet and support themselves. Educated college graduates struggle to thrive in cities like SF and NYC. If those folks have a hard time, there’s no hope for the homeless and mentally ill, so you’re just keeping them in a place where they have no chance of achieving independence. It’s inhumane really.

Most of the medical stuff looks like testing. The only pharmaceutical I see is metformin.

Which part of this is extreme or likely to lead to problems?

I realize that even testing is not harmless, but the main problem would be inaccurate test results requiring more tests. And since he is a millionaire who is obsessed with this stuff, I don't think he is too troubled by the time and money spent on testing.
> The reason so few people acquire Japanese citizenship is not because of the difficulty doing so, but because it offers little in terms of tangible benefits beyond those already acquired by virtue of having permanent residency status.

This. I've been in Japan for 15 years, and have permanent residency. Citizenship would basically only grant me the right to vote for (or against, I guess) the party that has been in power almost uninterrupted since the 50s. In exchange for that, I would have to give up 3 other citizenships. Not a great deal...
I’m not sure why we’re trying to solve a situation where not everyone can afford to live in desirable cities.

That’s impossible to solve. The demand will always be far higher than ability to pay as long it's a desirable place to live. Owning real estate in Paris, NYC, London, Shanghai will always be out of reach for the average, middle class citizen.

In fact, it’s good that people are discouraged from buying in these cities. They’ll go to other cities and buy, further distributing the population.

We don’t need to be like Asian cities (Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan) where 70-80% of the countries population live in 2 or 3 metro areas. Those countries would love to distribute their populations more broadly.

> I still think there's something to be said for learning the local language

Absolutely! I worked in South Korea myself for four years and did a year of Korean school in Berlin first to prepare, and then more tutoring and self-study in country. I wasn't particularly great at learning overall, but did get to survival levels of conversational and it definitely enhanced the experience and gave me a connection to last a lifetime.

It's still a lot of fun to watch a Korean show now and be able to pick up on it when the subtitles are bad and miss all the cultural nuances of word and grammar choices, etc.

I just think it's great when people discover that for themselves.

I don't think what he meant with "no ads" would translate to no monetization.

I do not have a straight answer to this but there could be an alternate monetization.

Youtube's official monetization (and any ads in general) is an old concept that is prone to abuse. People dislike it, creators dislike it.

Youtubers now include sponsored segments in their videos. It's the main alternative that developed on the platform. Why? Because monetization just isn't good. It pays little and it's unreliable. Youtube arbitrarily demonetizes without warning.

And what's in it for the viewer? Both ads and sponsored segments are known to push scams on consumers. Because neither google nor the youtubers really investigate what they push on users. They just get the paycheck to display what advertisers pay for.

On a final note

>You just need to be very careful in assuming you can beat today's YouTube on attracting creators given their moats.

No service is eternal. Everything dies eventually. Something huge that took years to build can go down in flames overnight. You never know. Then there's a vacuum for something better to fill the hole. Will the next generation embrace P2P? Possible. New generations are tech savvy. They are aware of their digital presence. They are aware of censorship.
It still leaves the problem of people living in much larger houses than they need because it's financially advantageous to do so.

Here in the UK older people with kids who've left the nest often continue to live in large houses because there are a wide range of strong incentives to do so, from low council tax, capital gains tax treatment, inheritance tax treatment, and the protected status of housing wealth for some benefits.

The housing crisis could be mitigated to some extent without building any new homes, just by reshuffling the existing stock to people who need the space more.

My recommendation would be property taxes that reflect the implicit income you get from living in a home you own i.e the avoided rent.
