Tesla had around 20% margin per car compared to the below 10% (sometimes much below) of the industry.

They were ready for dropping the prices as soon as their production scaled to the point where they were not selling all they could make.

One can criticize Tesla for their build quality or service but they are doing well with pricing.

Edit: And they are doing a favor to the people like me that doesn’t want to buy a Tesla but another brand of EV. VW is already considering dropping prices of their ID3 because now it costs the same than the model 3 being an inferior segment and having less range
That implies housing has risks. Since 2009, that risk has been eliminated by the FED owning 30% of all mortgages on its balance sheet.

We've nationalized housing risk and privatized the gains.

I have a friend who is a head chef at a decently popular bar and restaurant on Broadway in Capitol Hill, Seattle (very trendy part of town if you aren't familiar, steep commercial rent). He lives in a 400 sq ft studio and is barely, barely making it from one paycheck to the next. I am sitting on a 2.6% interest rate mortgage and my prices are set for the next 30 years. I probably work half as hard as he does, if not even less than half. I have a lot of cognitive dissonance associated with that.

Strongly disagree. Why two Orson Scott Card books of only nine? Surely Le Guin's "The Left Hand of Darkness" gives a better sampling of what science fiction can encompass.

Similarly, why two H. G. Wells books? Yes, both are classics, but if the goal is to read the classics of SF then Heinlein's "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" would again give a better sampling of SF history.

IMO, "Jurassic Park" is more a thriller with science fiction elements. (Another would be "The Hunt for Red October".) While the movie won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation, I don't think the book received much in the way of SF award recognition.

I would think Liu's "The Three-Body Problem" or something else more recent than 1999 would also be more appropriate for a beginner than the many old books listed.

Hey mike, I'm the Diego, the person who wrote this blog post and implemented the majority of it. Reading this comment, I feel the need to challenge some of your assumptions. I don't expect to change your mind, but here's my take on this:

- I have only been a developer for 7 years, and I don't have a degree in Software Engineering. I actually studied electrical engineering and upon graduating I landed my first job writing device drivers for graphics cards, which got me started writing software professionally.

- I did that for 3 years, and after discovering a passion for computer graphics I worked at Autodesk for 3 years on a desktop application called 3ds Max.

- After all those years working on that old and heavy desktop application I started seeing web-based applications like Figma as the right way to do things. Nothing beats the convenience of opening a link to launch an app, and of being able to launch an app on any device. That's why I joined Shopify's Spatial Commerce Team.

- My favorite programming language is C++, and the demos you see in the blog post are written in C++. I developed them as desktop applications, and compiled them to WebAssembly using Emscripten.

- I have never done "resume driven development." I studied computer graphics as a hobby for years because of a deep interest in it, and I was poorly paid all those years.

Thanks for your time.

I would have much preferred if the author spent more time giving an objective assessment of what ChatGPT had actually accomplished at each step.

The "Labyrinth Sudoku" description feels like a classic language model speciousness. It doesn't actually work: you can't fit the digits 1-9 if you can't use all the cells, and it hasn't modified sudoku rules in a way that makes paths relevant. Maybe you can come up with a way to salvage it, but ChatGPT didn't.

The initial rules for Sum Delete should be read with this in mind: it sounds reasonable, but there's no reason to trust that it can make a puzzle at all, let alone a good one. Also, unsurprisingly, the provided puzzle isn't solvable (the 25 column requires use of the 9 in the first row).

Similarly, I'd love a critical analysis of the initial code. Did it guarantee solvability? An awful lot can be swept under "improving the design".

indeed - implicit conversions are the underlying cause of bugs in most of the issues i get tasked with fixing.

There’s a difference between coming up with a puzzle then finding out it already exists versus finding a puzzle and saying you came up with it.

If I told you “We need a brand new, never-never-before-seen puzzle for our next game release.” and you searched Google for “brand new, never-before-seen puzzle”, found a puzzle game with those words in its marketing copy and pitched it to me, that would be some combination of unintelligent and dishonest behavior. Like, surprisingly so. It’s different from forgetting some puzzle you played with as a little kid and thinking you made it up, or creating a puzzle you’d never seen but has been made before.
This. You have nailed it.

And why does Support and Marketing push back on that idea? Because they don't like when a customer reaches Support and says "I got error #12345! What should I do?" They'd much rather the customer just shut up and go away

however, the programmer who put 12345 in the code would dearly love to know that it was hit.

Yeah, but I recall that in the CD era, there were attempts to push the envelope.

Like I do recall you could get 800 and even 900MB CDs and write past the normal end on standard CDs, because people figured that you can squeeze things a bit tighter and cut the corners a bit more here and there, and with the right drives that worked.

I'm wondering why they didn't do that with floppy drives. It was definitely a thing on the software side with special formatting programs, but I don't recall it being a thing on the hardware side. Not in the sense of having new official upgrades like 2.88 MB, but drives advertising that they were made 20% better than the official spec and could squeeze more into each standard floppy.
> To operate on two uint32_t values, we need to widen them to Java long using val & 0xFFFFFFFFL. Unfortunately this technique does not allow us to operate on two uint64_t values because there is no wider signed type in Java

About a decade ago I used to pay $45+ a month for a very basic cable package that contained mostly public stations and a few of the standard stations that you get a hotels, etc. At the same time my parents paid around $100+ a month for their cable package with a better channel selection.

So, to me, even paying $60-$80 for various streaming services that are all on-demand (which wasn't the case for the cable I used to have) is still an amazing deal.

Oh, and I don't have to sit through ads every 5 minutes.

I struggle with this tremendously. I am always looking to "solve the problem" for anyone that I am in conversation with. I am looking to help "optimize". It has taken me a long time to realize that you need to keep it to yourself and most people don't care about being optimized. Heck, I even fight with my wife at times when she takes the long cut while driving. Her argument "do you really care if it takes me an extra 2 mins". When you think about it, it makes sense to stop trying to be so helpful.

This doesn't even touch on the fact that you will always require housing, so you can never truly liquidate your primary residence. At best, you can borrow against it. At worst, you sell it once and rejoin the rental market.
> While the rich are more likely to own homes, tons of middle class and poor people also bought homes and planned their lives under the assumption that housing prices would go up. Tanking housing prices would destroy their trust in the system that they bet everything on.

This is pretty much the crux of it. High housing prices could be "fixed" almost overnight, but for almost every citizen of the first world, their house is the single biggest investment they will ever make in their life. You'd be destroying everyone's retirement plans and there'd be major economic repercussions.

But there's also the second-order problem which is the people who realize that governments will never let the value of housing decrease because of the above, so you have upper middle class people owning "investment homes", or foreign investors buying homes they never intend to live in (or, in many cities, never even bother renting out), or even corporations like BlackRock buying up houses because they know it's such a safe investment.

Buying a house is an investment. You're making a bet that worker productivity will improve near you. After all, what is the value of land? Some land can be farmed or house a factory. But usually, when we talk about residential real estate, we're talking about land that houses workers. So, the value of that land is directly proportional to the economic value those workers can provide. We refer to "economic value provided by workers" as "economic productivity." As the economic productivity of each worker rises, so does the value of the land. Of course, market conditions and government incentives can distort the market is weird ways. But ultimately, the price of real estate is going up because its underlying value is going up. You can't change that.

If you can afford a 15 year mortgage it is a much better value proposition.
In many countries, mortages cannot be over a certain fixed percentage of your income. In my case, in France, it is 33%. I currently pay over 40% of my income as rent. This has a double effect:

* I'm paying for a landlord's mortgage, for a good that should be easily accessible, at insane prices.

* I cannot save up that money, while my landlord does, allowing them to purchase more houses.

Rent is theft.
> But now, if she buys a home, she needs housing prices to keep going up to make her decision financially sound.

The analysis from 1, 2, and 3 seem obviously financially bad. Because they stop at a particular point in time. The point of buying over renting, when using a fixed-APR mortgage, is to lock in a monthly rate (that will eventually sunset to only the cost of maintenance and taxes). And peace of mind that only an act of god or being fired will force you to move. This is never guaranteed with rent, unless you have one of those multi-decade leases. And good luck finding a house with a multi-decade lease.

For an investing analogy, buying a house is like buying an annuity. Not buying the market. When a person buys an annuity they are still considered to be "investing".

I honestly don't understand why this wasn't always obvious. A good investment is one that increases in value (aka cost) dramatically. Dramatic increases in the cost of housing might have negative consequences. What part of this requires deep insight to see?
