> One of the things he rallies against the most in his videos is precisely laws — like zoning regulations and parking minimums — which make it illegal to build walkable neighbourhoods and encourage car-dependent sprawl.

I see this as a perspective of someone who never lived in a walkable city that has both zoning and parking minimums. It's not a case of either-or.

The type of construction he's proposing is a net negative to how a city functions - specifically it was a particularly tall building in an area where four floors + ground level buildings were already allowed - that's an already appropriate density for a city.

> What are you basing yourself on to make that assertion?

That's my experience from just about every European city I spent any appreciable time in(meaning - at least a few months) - especially the one I grew up in.

And no wonder - grocery stores scale exceedingly well so far as there's cheap land to build on. That's not the case in city centres.

> a lot of folks are perfectly competent developers but can't move forward and eventually get replaced by younger/cheaper developers because they are basically doing the same thing for the past 10 years

I'd argue that they are replaced (if they are, because I'm not sure, there are not a lot of old folk because IT industry is pretty young, I already worked with a few 50+ mid devs and the pay is kinda reverse, because old folk already have homes and don't need to pay off huge mortgages) not because they didn't get promoted (mid dev -> product owner / domain expert) but because they stopped upgrading the skills relevant to their current job.

So in terms of the example presented by the author it would be developers that are no longer even hyped about languages/tools.
And in our imaginary "tiling specialist" it would be a guy that didn't care that the current fad is some kind of funky pattern + new material of tiles and still wanted to lay old ceramic square tiles for his entire life.

I'm still not convinced that there is a scenario where you __have to__ care about "the domain" / "the problem being solved" / "the bigger picture" that much. You can, it will improve some aspects of your career, but you don't have to and it would degrade other aspects of said career (we all have about 16h max productive hours daily, and I'm being generous).

OpenAI never promised to be open source.

They promised to create a lab where the benefits of AI would accrue to the people, not just existing tech giants.

They did that. They created a API where individuals and small businesses alike can use cutting edge AI technology via API. You have to pay, that's the only catch.

Been using Godot the past couple months. It's simply a joy to work with. From the single (relatively) lightweight executable model, to the dogfooding of implementing the UI with the engine itself, to the design of GDScript, etc etc. They definitely implement a lot in-house, but reuse existing software where it makes sense.

Every once in a while I use a program where I just feel the authors think about software similarly to the way I do. Godot is one of those.

- Chess was in times past seen as the ultimate game of pure intellect, where the player with the most of that uniquely human trait, intelligence, wins the game. Except that no, turns out a tiny piece of silicon the size of your fingernail can beat the best player on the planet. So why spend time and effort on chess instead of some other game where humans still reign supreme (office politics? Cheating on your spouse?)?

- And a variant of the above argument, humans are a tool-making species. We make tools to do specific things better than we can with our bare hands. So that we can use the tools to do the things that tools are better at, and then use our own hands/heads on things that humans are better at. So now that we have developed tools that are better at playing chess than a human, lets move on to another more challenging task.

- And since this is HN, a variant of the above is Larry Walls characterization of the virtues of a programmer: impatience, laziness, and hubris. We "solved" chess, time to move on.

Of course, all of the above justifications are, in a way, justifications against chess as some kind of noble pursuit that improves the condition of humanity. If you enjoy playing it as a way to spend your free time, go ahead, don't listen to all the negative sniping from the sidelines!
Total cost of ownership is reduced significantly with BEVs

Government subsidies exist for oil and ice vehicles as well.

I think if you subtracted all subsidies ICE must be far more expensive because oil infrastructure is obviously way less efficient.
Funny, I’m looking at the same picture and seeing something completely different. It seems to me that series hybrids with 50-100km electric range are the sweet spot:

- eliminates a huge chunk of CO2 emissions (most daily commutes, local travel)

- still takes advantage of the energy density and short refuel time of hydrocarbons for long distance travel

- dramatic reduction in the amount of batteries that need to be produced to electrify the whole vehicle population (this might shift the curve of at least some EV-miles by decades)

- no need for a massive retooling of the filling station network

- series hybrids still eliminate a lot of the mechanical overhead of ICE vehicles, and all else equal (range), a series hybrid is probably a lot lighter than an EV with all batteries
No more scrolling through a thousand lines of SEO optimization disguised as some deep heartfelt backstory before getting to the actual recipe? That sounds like a huge win to me.
The main reason is the mechanics of how it works. Human thought and consciousness is an emergent phenomena of electric and chemical activity in the brain. By emergent, I mean that the substrate that composes your consciousness cannot be explained only in terms of those electric and chemical interactions.

Humans don't make decisions by consulting their electo/chemical states... they manipulate symbols with logic, draw from past experiences, and can understand causality.

ChatGPT and in a broader sense any deep learning based approach, does not have any of that. It doesn't "know" anything. It doesn't understand causality. All it does is try to predict the most likely response to what you asked one character at a time.
> You don't have to deal with the oil supply chain that has issues, from geopolitics, wars, environmental disasters, gas stations. Instead you just slowly upgrade the electrical grid and add more renewable energy production.

electric doesn't solve any of these. I don't think I have to go into the lithium and rare earth stuff, but you also need charging stations for gas stations, as well as needing to invest substantially in the grid.

I am not anti electric, its just not a utopia its made out to be. its all the same problems of a different flavor. the only real benefit is less smog in cities, which is pretty good.

> Remember that for best battery life you really need to only charge to 80%, and and never let the battery get below 20%

> I'm concerned this will have a nontrivial impact on browser layout performance.

I've experienced this with iOS Safari. I was experimenting with different layout methods, and at one point a display:grid didn't get deleted, and some days later when I was testing with Safari it was taking at least half a second to render a page. I'm talking 5 paragraphs of text, possibly with subgrid I was experimenting with, nothing crazy. I had no idea CSS could ever get that so slow and I thought it had to be something with React, and it took way longer than it should have to narrow it down to that single property.

Once everyone has an EV the supply of lithium, etc., can largely come from scrapped vehicles. It doesn't get used up, it's still there at the end of the battery's lifetime, and it is easier to recycle than to mine new.
No, on long time controls, humans cannot see enough of the tree in some positions. They might be able to push the game sometimes into a position where they can hold if the engine is not set up to prefer complicated positions.

But

This is one of my favorites. On extreme short time controls, humans can handle some really good engines some of the time! Here you have Andrew Tang beating Leela in hyperbullet: https://youtu.be/Wf-wFXRpwgo

Another approach that sometimes works is to be really booked up in dubious lines with an engine that does not have too much time, something Jonathan Schrantz manages from time to time https://youtu.be/FC2P6VUYu78
I'm thinking of getting a Hybrid. I can't get an electric car because I cannot charge it reliably.

My concerns are flooring it from cold. So far I have not read / found literature on what the computer then does, and how this increases engine wear.

I read 'reinforced components' but that's just longer until they wear out.

For as long as I've been driving I have been taking it slow with the engine until it got up to oil temperature. And that actually got longer these days with having a huge amount of oil in the car.

But then looking at a BMW X50e, you run the risk of flooring it on electric, and then that B58 3L needs to kick in and instantly delivery 300+HP. That just ... doesn't compute. HOW is that NOT bad but when I do that on my current, same, but non-reinforced B58 3L...

I'd understand if there are reports out there that say things like 'given current oil quality we don't need to worry about cold oil performance anymore'. But we still have the time that the engine kicks in, while the oil isn't circulated. I'd be more comfortable if the oil pump was disconnected from the engine and ran when high performance is needed, bridging the gap of oil starvation when the ICE kicks in.

Lots of physical work for HVAC. Young people have other workforce dynamics as they often move from a job to the next, so maybe that explains the working at a Starbucks for a few months which quicly becomes wasted year or two. Also you won't get them doing two years of apprenticeship paying peanuts, they'll leave and seek other opportunities. Which is quite fine, can't really blame them.

There are some third-party apps that break the model, too, which is unfortunate.

Your toolbelt is full of Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Istio. They were supposed to help you, but you're still overloaded with Toil. I can help get your Infrastructure as Code under control and help make machines do most of the Ops, so you can focus on your business problems.

I'm well versed in IaC tools like Terraform and Ansible, general purpose languages like Golang, Python, and C if necessary, and I know when to switch between them. I treat cloud infrastructure as a software problem, because it's fully programmable. I make a point to layer code so most of the effort can be focused on a development cycle that doesn't break production; changes get tested before rolling them out,and an automated pipeline applies actual production changes.

I started my career on bare metal Linux and FreeBSD systems, then moved into AWS and later GCP. I love working in the cloud and on lower level things like firecracker VMs on bare metal.

I fail to see the difference between your arguments.

Making the population easier to manage doesn't need to be an explicit goal, it's an emergent outcome of many many different policies that target other things and are incentivized.

Making money from mass populations works better with more homogeneity of demand, and social media in particular provides a lot of effective levers to promote that homogeneity.
