It is different to what you do. If I tell you that this is already a thing, you might go back to the drawing board, and do something from scratch. Maybe do some abstract drawing with numbers for brainstorming. A language model is not able to do this, the starting point for a language model is always the training data. That is why there is so many instances where you see some wrong (or correct) response from ChatGPT and when the other person corrects this, the model just agrees to whatever the user says. That is the right thing to do according to language etiquette, but it has nothing to do with what is true and right. (It invokes the image of a sociopath manager trying to sell you a product---they will find a way to agree with you to close the deal.)

I don't know what introspective is, but I know it when I see it. People around me genuinely come up with new concepts---some of what they came up decades ago with is now ubiquitous---and the sources is often not language. It comes from observing the world with your eyes, from physical or natural mechanisms. If you want to put it into the language of models: we just have so much more data to draw on. And we have a good feedback mechanism. If you invent a toy, you can build it and test it. Language models only get second hand feedback from users. They cannot prototype stuff if the data isn't out there already.

You will be surprised how much good plumbers make in the USA. You probably used a bad example.

Source: I know my trusted plumber makes well over six figures a year and he cannot take all calls. I asked him once if he has problems generating leads and he smiled saying "I have too much business that I turn people away". He is a "master plumber" which these days is not easy to get certified for in many states. He told me he cannot find enough skilled master plumbers to help him (state of NJ).

Principal is only part of the cash flow. You're also paying for interest, insurance, taxes, and maintenance, which the renter does not, and these are also money down the drain. In my experience, owning a house in many (most?) areas is a losing proposition unless you assume that housing prices rise at an unreasonable rate for a long period of time. However, that's exactly what's happened.
The fun part is that the CEO is on Twitter as this happens, arguing about COVID.

Where I lived in Italy, people certainly purchase houses, but they don't expect them to have crazy returns like in the US. It's just a way to not pay rent and have something that you can hang on to even if there's inflation or other funny business (something that Italy has seen a lot of).

People even invest in, say, apartments, but it's a similar story: they expect them to hold their value and pay themselves off over a number of years. There are certainly returns on it, but they are seen as steady, long term investments.

Where I live in Oregon, during the most recent boom, there were houses "earning" more than 100,000 a year, just sitting there. That's more than the median household.

Yeah, it's a bit apples to oranges, but still, it's really out of kilter.

Long term, it'd be healthiest if housing were 'boring', neither gaining or losing much. That'd also facilitate people swapping out different housing at different stages of their lives without worrying about timing the market.

For instance, there are a lot of people getting older in the town I live in. Are they always going to want to or be able to shovel snow? Mow their lawns? Maybe a townhouse or a condo would be a better alternative that lets them stay in their general neighborhood.

Only a minority uses those workarounds, because they are cumbersome workarounds. If they were given proper unsigned types, they would use them much more often. I find myself using unsigned types in 99% of cases in Rust. I don't even remember the last time I had to use signed type.

It happens in most contexts where generational change occurs within a group. We tend to treat the current environment as though it's been around forever, and often, as a group, remain unaware of what happened in the past. As more turnover occurs, more forgetting occurs.

Often, the source of the forgetting is, in fact, the assumptions made by the earlier generation that 'everyone knows' something - when the truth is that new generations were never taught those things.

> > To operate on two uint32_t values, we need to widen them to Java long [...] Unfortunately this technique does not allow us to operate on two uint64_t

This was filed under the heading "Straightforward emulation". In the next section titled "Efficient emulation", I show that operating on two 64-bit values in unsigned mode is easily doable.

> other weaknesses in Java

Please explain. Keep in mind that Java is a simpler C++, and consciously chose to remove features that would be confusing or dangerous (e.g. unsigned integers, pointer arithmetic, destructors, multiple inheritance, operator overloading).

> when a file/network format specifies an unsigned data field – how should we represent it in Java? [...] None of these alternatives is as correct as using uint32_t in C/C++

Types like uint32_t don't buy you as much functionality as you think. In the last few projects I worked on, the domain of allowed values was a weird range. For example, 1 <= QrCode.version <= 40 ( https://github.com/nayuki/QR-Code-generator/blob/2643e824eb1... ). For example, 1 <= Png.Ihdr.width < 2^31 ( https://github.com/nayuki/PNG-library/blob/536acb238f9c000e2... ). Neither Java int nor C uint32_t capture these constraints properly.
I'm open to the idea of being wrong, so please do tell me if so.

Rent seeking (or rent-seeking) is an economic concept that occurs when an entity seeks to gain added wealth without any reciprocal contribution of productivity.

and

> That said, it’s possible for landlords to engage in rent-seeking behavior.

So, I understand that rent in rent seeking is not and nothing to do with 'rent payments', so to speak.

It's more a question of are landlords trying to extract value without producing anything. My opinion is, in many cases, yes.

Especially someone like Invitation Homes, who essentially aim to corner a particular housing market for the sole purpose of extracting additional money from said units.

If this is not considered rent seeking behavior, I'll cede that point.

You can. Your actions matter. Simply refuse to to participate in that. Even saving a small piece of nature has a meaning. Maybe not to you, but to what is saved it has.

If there was no demand, it would not be happening.

Your example can help others to see what's wrong with their way of living. If lot of people change, the laws shall be changed.

> almost zero faith in the government ... when ..is large corporate interest

All (western) governments are puppets of corporate interests. Just look behing most armed conflicts of the last century, and also how are goverments handling the climate crisis. We can expect no meaningful change from their actions.

Demand for change must come from the people, and it must come from a significant part of the population (majority is not required, though), otherwise the status quo and business as usual will prevail.

What sucks is a lot of young renters with steady jobs can afford to pay off a mortgage month to month, but they just can't afford that down payment (especially the 20% needed so as to not need to get mortgage insurance)! I was in that position for a while. Every time it seemed like I could afford to put that money down, the housing prices went up! It took a handful of years of renting cheap places (with roommates), living with my parents when I could and getting a few raises at work that I could finally save up enough for a down payment.
> That's 40 years.

Is that a lot? On what basis could we decide?(1) I am not saying it isn't, I am just saying it is a rather subjective call which sort of looks at the prior pace of discoveries and extrapolates a judgement.

This is actually why as a homeowner, I'm not particularly bothered by the value of my house dropping.

Don't get me wrong, it's not exactly fun to watch its price tag drop, but the supposed dollar value of the house isn't "real" unless I'm looking to sell, which I'm not going to be doing unless I'm changing living arrangements, whether that be buying a different house or renting. Its value to me is that it's 1) a home and 2) a semi-fixed cost that won't ever be dramatically changing rather than increasing several percent each year.

As a frustrated non-English user of recent widespread degradation in software translations, I can verify that you're completely correct in your observations.

I actually disagree that the first is true, in and of itself. If you have two otherwise identical candidates except one is a Legacy candidate, then the answer is (tautologically) no, having a parent does not make you more qualified. But it's also true that that being a legacy gives that student an advantage, even if its limited to just getting put at the top of the pile to be reviewed. And if a segment of the population has been historically barred from attending these institutions, then I think it qualifies as an "unfair" advantage.

Calling it "systematic racism" may bring with it a lot of other cultural baggage at the moment, but I think fundamentally we can at least agree that Legacy Admissions are a way of preserving the status quo, in opposition to social mobility.

I wonder if this could partially be a result of training on code found in question/answer environments like Stack Overflow. It sees "How do I do X, here's what I've tried" with broken code and then an answer "This is incorrect because Y, here is the correct answer" with the correct code.

Intuitively it makes sense to me that broken code would often be very close to questions about how to achieve something in code.
I still play SimCity 2013 today, and despite its flaws, I much prefer it over Cities Skylines. SimCity feels alive, with a great soundtrack, good looking visuals even today, and I love the futuristic expansion pack.

Skylines feels less like a game I want to play in my free time and more like a city planner tool. The graphics style also somehow feels much colder and more outdated in comparison.

I honestly think SimCity 6 with bigger cities and updated graphics would be a massive hit without changing much else - the multiplayer aspect of sharing resources, contributing to pollution, workers and students, etc is really unique and should be kept.

> You'd be destroying everyone's retirement plans and there'd be major economic repercussions

I think that exaggerates it. Most retirees aren't profiting from the home they own if they live in it. The "income" from it is just imputed rent. So if the housing supply increases dramatically, that imputed rent drops, but it doesn't matter since the cost of housing drops as well.
The correlation between effort expended and outcome is misguided. The plow takes more effort than the tractor and produces a worse outcome.

Disagree. The YIMBY movement is picking up steam in a big way. Here in Oregon, we re-legalized 4-plexes in our cities and the woman responsible, Tina Kotek, is now our governor. She's pushing another big housing bill. Our mayor in the city I live in regularly attends our YIMBY group meetups.

There's also a huge positive externality of people actually having skin in the game in that regard - all the sudden you have an incentive to making sure that productivity improvement actually happens.
yes I agree. I was always told, and believed "a house is for living in, not an investment". It figures in my retirement plans in the sense of not having to pay rent on my house as I will own it. That is really positive because it also means not having to pay tax on the money that I would have to have to pay rent.

But I bought it because I wanted to own it and live in it, not to sell and make money off.

Having said that it's obvious that the availability of cheap money has jacked up housing costs to a stupid level, and it's obvious that when it unwinds there is going to be a big mess. What stops it from unwinding - immigration... because as soon as immigration stops the pressure will go out of the housing market and a-la Japan houses will get cheap.

Lately I've been thinking that perhaps the solution to the housing shortage is a technology that makes it easy, cheap, and extremely fast to build housing that is both attractive and illegal.

Uber and Airbnb were both pretty much illegal from the get go, but ultimately worked because they were incredibly popular. They forced the laws to change to accommodate what people actually wanted.

Similarly, living in tents and RVs on city streets is illegal but common because RVs and tents are so easy to set up.

No one builds an illegal fourplex because it takes a year and a million dollars. It's too expensive to shoulder the shutdown risk. But what if it took a day and $100k?
Nor should they, cultural or not. Look how the government destroyed the Ant group recently. When they can unilaterally do that, how can you find a safe stock?
There is nothing bizarre about house appreciating despite being used when you realize that it's not the house that appreciate, it's the land.

The land your house is build on doesn't get wear-and-tear, 100 years ago or 100 years from now it's still the same number of m2 of land. And it's getting rare because the population is still increasing and everyone want to live in the same big cities.

If you find it ridiculous that everyone pays a fortune to live packed together (it kinda is) just buy a house in rural Alabama! It will be super cheap.

This is actually funny. Just this weekend I was talking to another engineer friend of mine, and we were taking bets as to how long it would be before twitter went down for the last time.

We felt bad for the engineers that are still there, and were actually surprised it's stayed up this long, with all the knowledge that walked out the door. Basic stuff like "where are our servers actually located".

I guess the folks that left loved Twitter enough to leave behind good notes, because even the most well architected systems still need some institutional knowledge when they go down.
