>In the last few years

They have been this way for a generation.

This guy makes some good points, but jeez he is so condescending and pretentious. It's really easy for a guy who makes YouTube videos and lives in a crowded European city to pass judgement on people who live lives completely different than his.

I am literally going to take my F150 and haul some lumber after work today, and the economic opportunities that having that ability affords me are so valuable to me as someone trying to build a home for myself and my family.

It just smacks of condescension to me when this guy writing this script sitting in a European cafe pretends that he understands all the possible uses that normal hard-working people use these cars for.

I'm not even disagreeing with him on a lot of his points, there are plenty of people who don't truly need one of these big cars, but there are also TONS of people who have uses for them.
Why would they be missing out? Vercel can host static sites just fine, whether that’s one generated by Next or any other framework or written by hand
Not true.

Here's what happens if you want to move to a "different place".

Say, you go to a different country: you have to spend upwards from a few month, but likely few years to confirm your degree. You won't need a stage, but you will not become an attending right away. In many cases there aren't even analogous positions if you move countries, unless medical systems are very similar, so, in most likelihood you will have to do at least a good chunk of residency training all over again. This will also be usually compounded by studying a new language to a very high degree as doctors are expected to produce a lot of written reports / engage in written communication, and, unlike programmers who almost universally use English regardless of the country they work in, doctors absolutely have to have good command of the local language(s).

Similarly, if you move between different medical organizations which manage hospitals. Sans the language requirements. However, within the same country hospitals will usually be more similar than between countries. Anyways, most hospitals will have fixed dates when job applications are processed, and even if you are extremely lucky and you don't need to redo any of your previous residency (both systems use the same PACS system, same or very similar internal organization etc.) you will still have to wait until the "draft" date. Typically, and due to competition, doctors will go to the hospital they intend to work at anyways before the "draft" date.

Even within the same hospital, if you want to move to a different department, you will still do residency, at least in part. I.e. say, you were already an attending in internal medicine, and you want to move to radiology: then maybe instead of 4 years, you'll do 3 years residency.

----

The above has a lot of compounding factors. Huge waiting times to get a position lead to doctors holding on to their positions with a lot more devotion than programmers. In many cases it's a job for life.

Because hospitals have to be in geographically diverse areas, they cannot, like programmers, all bunch together in one or two cities in a country and jump jobs w/o moving to a different apartment / house. A lot of hospitals thus include accommodation programs, which make it even harder to switch jobs.

It's very common for doctors to marry doctors. This makes some things easier, but it also means that if you need to switch jobs, then you have to do it in lockstep with your spouse.

Not in the least, if you move from a "less prestigious" country to a "more prestigious" country, you are almost automatically downgraded in your rank, and if you want the equivalent job, you'll have to jump through the same hoops the second time.
That's absolute nonsense.

I would believe you could get a 4-foot-wide item in a Civic.

There is no way on earth you could get a 4x8 sheet inside one of those cars.

Also, if you got t-boned by a Tahoe they would need to identify your body with dental records. Those things were basically street-legal go karts.
> Is that really what you want?

You can have regulations either completely banning fossil-powered vehicles, or keep raising carbon pricing to encourage the move to EVs. But if those EVs cause road damage, people should pay for that damage.

All that is being done in both cases is forcing people to pay the true cost of these things (pollution, road damage), and bringing to light what have been externalities until this point. Let The Market™ decide.

If people want to reduce pollution, and not have to pay for the damage their vehicles cause, then perhaps they should use lighter vehicles like (e-)bikes or (e-)scooters / -motorcycles. Or transit.
> all traffic originates in industry, and don't seem to "return" to industry in Cities Skylines

It absolutely does come back? I've had major traffic headaches from returning trucks. If I don't build rail for trucks, my cities are usually screwed over by that.

> Maximize the distance of these singular roads, and build out your road system like a computer-science definition of a tree. Its not very realistic, but it solves more or less all the issues of Cities Skylines. (Or perhaps it is realistic, and matches the behavior of neighborhood planners in the real world).

Trees create massive chokepoints when traveling within the city, so I don't think its likely to work in a large city (though if you squint, road hierarchy is somewhat tree-like, I suppose, though with more intra-branch connections). I suspect you simply haven't gotten cities big enough to actually have traffic, especially if you think most traffic is trucks. It does take a bit for personal car traffic to be heavy enough to be a problem.

The unique thing about car traffic vs station demand is that the overall speed depends on the quantity of cars on the road, with maximal throughput occurring before a fully occupied road. That's how you get weird effects like Braess paradox.

OpenTTD is much better at simulating public transit systems, Cities Skylines is better at simulating traffic.
Species like thresher, bull and hammerhead sharks have lost up to 80-99% of their populations in the last two decades.

Seabird populations have declined by 70% since the 1950's.

Studies estimate that up to 40% of all marine life caught is thrown overboard as bycatch.

Six out of seven species of sea turtles are either threatened or endangered due to fishing.

Over 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises are killed as bycatch every year.

2.7 trillion fish are caught every year, or up to 5 million caught every minute.

Fish populations are in decline to near extinction.

I also did that as a kid, until the day after my neighbor's wife died while doing that.
Per capita figures do include full-time residents, even migrant workers. They do not capture international commuters (most relevant for Luxembourg, which gets something like half its workforce from neighbors).
Not only that, but that same person can stop a lot of other people getting their work done.

I am far less distracted by the random conversations people try to pull you into, or loud chatter of teams around me, when I'm at home.

I deliver so much more at home, though I do see some value in being in the office, I just find it frustrating how many people seem to rely on the office for their social life and also loudly take video calls from their desks all day now.

The code isn't terrible, but it's not clear to you because you don't have the necessary information. The Total.js UI library (jComponent) is now 50% backward compatible with the UI library that you opened in 2014! You must know that we want to keep long-term backward compatibility. It's not a 100% nice code and of course, we will release a new version v20 (of UI library) this or next year cleared from the older code. We must offer stable tools for development, and that's critical for us and our customers.

This platform has been developed for around 10 years, and it isn't easy, but we will keep doing this since it is our hobby.
What are the limitations to heroku that people are going to Fly for? Maybe there's a standard article that would be useful to read about it?
If/when it learns to reason about a whole codebase why wouldn't be able to do everyone's job? For now the main block is its lack of context. It can work/remember and answer questions about a couple of functions maybe, not a codebase.
Apple is aggressive with all their vendors. If you're taking money from Apple they want to call all the shots and they don't have any problems holding your feet to the fire or acting borderline unprofessional when it comes to demands.

You can't have the best features of the two - in the sense of interoperability - because they are different on a fundamental level: it's impossible for IPv4 nodes to talk to IPv6 nodes without understanding the much larger address space.

There were proposals back in the day (early 90s) for IPng (IP Next Gen, as IPv6 was called back then) to be a hierarchical routing algorithm, that could have kept backwards compatibility with IPv4 and transparently allow seamless operation and routing of IPng islands over IPv4 infrastructure, taking full advantage of the address space expansion.

Think of a sort of CGNAT that instead of stateful hacking with port numbers and the like, would have dedicated fields in the IPv4.x packet, allowing the gateway to statelesly route between the two domains (public IPv4 internet and internal 10.x.x.x network), while maintaining end-to-end connectivity.

Alas, the ITEF guys really wanted a clean slate design and willfully ignored the economic problem, that IPv6 is only useful when everybody upgrades, and as a consequence nobody upgrades. It's probably one of the most costly failures in the history of computing, along with the NULL pointer, 640kB and the likes.

I am not in a position to judge them. I am asking _you_ why you believe religion is a good basis to define a country.
Satellite imagery can't achieve resolutions needed to identify people. It is physically impossible. Especially so when slewed at an angle necessary to see faces.
IMO, trucks in the US are in large part an expression of the unfortunate tendency of people (especially Americans) to try to buy the product that they believe will cover 100% of their needs while ignoring that 10-40% of those needs are extremely intermittent.

Yes, trucks can be absolutely the right thing for hauling or towing (or both), or for moving specific types of material that either due to size or consistency can't really be moved in a typical car. They can be great for the great family camping trip with all that gear in the back and everyone else up front. And so on and so forth.

The problem is that those things happen (for most people) in the low-single digit numbers of times per year. Nevertheless the culture provides many suggestions that you're better off owning a vehicle that can do all this, all year, despite the extra cost of fuel, extra threat to pedestrians and cyclists, extra up front cost and higher insurance.

You don't have to be anti-car to see that owning a vehicle designed to cover all possible needs when most of the time you just commute in it doesn't make much sense.
Nice write up!

I wish I shared your enthusiasm for where Heroku could go but I have a few friends at Salesforce I've asked about how they see Heroku internally and it really doesn't seem like it is going to get much love. Hope to be wrong though.
> dirt simple managed Postgres

Heroku PostgreSQL is very simple, yes. But once you need non-trivial scale it's expensive and extremely non-performant. Even a medium-sized RDS will outperform Heroku's most expensive database offering by 20x in my experience. My company doesn't even run PG on Heroku anymore. We have a VPC/Private Space connection to AWS Aurora because the cost/performance difference is so extreme.
> By biological immortality I mean your body doesn't fail, or is fixable - you don't die of old age or random kidney failure. You still die if someone cuts off your head.

That sounds entirely possible then. I'd wager the limits we'd hit would be memories - it's not known if our brains, in their current form, would be able to cope with hundreds of years of memories.

>> self-replicating robots are quite literally what all of biology is

> By the same argument AGI is just same as human brain.

Yes, but the main difference is that biology is merely too big for us to keep track of - it just has too many moving pieces that have been, from our perspective, heavily overfitted. Still, we've reached the level where we can reprogram some of the nanobots. In contrast, the topic of intelligence still has a lot of big mysteries.

Another way of looking at it is, we already have a well-mapped way of building nanotechnology: reprogramming the one that is around us, and is us. Plenty of little self-replicating programmable bots to pick from. But we're not at similar stage with poking in brains just yet.

> Many people think ChatGPT is so ompressive, that we are on the cust of AGI. I am convinced otherwise - chat gpt makes limitations of current AI approached very clear.

I agree. Though to me, it also revealed limitations of human cognition (or rather, it was already quite apparent at GPT-2 level; ChatGPT is only rubbing it in everyones' faces).

Have you ever felt that your own thinking, in many situations, is mostly cache lookups? That your speech and inner monologue (if you have one) both resemble a Markov chain, and your "self" mostly just observes and censors the output? I certainly did, quite a lot over the decades. I know others did, many obviously rejecting it as silly association. But what the recent LLMs show us is that maybe, just maybe, it's not silly at all. Which invites the question, if a lot of our cognition works this way, then just how much more complicated are the bits that don't?

(Another thing ChatGPT and the like are making apparent, is that AI risk isn't tied to reaching AGI. I think people kind of assumed it would take AGI taking off to end human civilization, but at this point I believe it's pretty clear that LLMs as a class of models are up to the task already - all they need is to have more memory, access to APIs that let them affect the real world and observe the results, and being run continuously; Reddit corpus already supplies the token association patterns that would let them end the world if given the means...)
> they will work hard, do great work and try to retain the jobs, even at a lower pay

Maslow would like to have a word with you.
Calls to violence are unacceptable. This is irresponsible and dangerous rhetoric. Society is not so broken as to justify violent revolution. This will not make any living person's life better. Participate in your local government. If you must, move somewhere with laws that better align with your values, or where you have a better chance of driving the change you want to see. Violence is not the answer.
> "...Moreover, houses are pretty much the only physical good that are expected to 1) appreciate in value, and 2) be used all the time."

That sounds more like a perpetuum mobile. I wish the author cosidered the third choice that is "an empty lot with a vision to build that exact house from ground up".

Something tells me that the current building costs contribute a lot to the home prices in general and project the "recapture" into the future.

Whether ammortization of the real estate is fairly factored in the price remains unknown.

Also, what is indeed maintaining the scarcity is the land itself, well, that's the part of the "location".
It's not part of Arrow, but Arrow is columnar so just a basic LZ4/ZSTD will work pretty well.
One of the key design choices of Next.js was to enable granularity on the runtime (Node.js or Edge[1]) and the rendering method (static or dynamic[2]) on a per-route basis. If you want a full SSR site, that's okay. If you want a full static site, that's also okay.

We often see folks wanting a mix of both. For example, maybe the /about page is static, but the home page is dynamic and personalized based on the visitor. You can do all of this with Next.js. Our future direction is adding even further granularity, enabling this decision at the data fetch level, allowing you to cache results across deployments[3].

Yeah... not AIS, but NOAA defined VMS (Vessel Monitoring Systems). Not only does it report position, but allows captains to send in their reporting data while at sea, in an electronic format that they could ingest directly into their systems. They also allow "email" and some weather reporting.

I led the development of one of these systems from a software standpoint: https://thoriumvms.com/

They're not cheap -- $2K or $3K depending on options and $40ish/month for service. We were reselling Iridium service as the underlying transport.

Looks like the bottom just fell out of this business -- glad I'm not relying that for my paycheck anymore!
The truth in medicine is that we don't really know a lot. The truth is that not every treatment works on everyone, for known and unknown reasons. The truth is that modern medicine has only been around since around the 1930s.

In science there are useful models and unhelpful models.
Sorry, but that's just a pedantic take when we're discussing what is the best UI /UX for wearers to know how to instinctively react in a possibly stressful moment.

You have to solve for the lowest common denominator, not the hacker's technically correct preference.

This ain't about the watch falling, it's about someone possibly needing to call emergency services and contacts when they're hurt. "I'm OK" is a great prompt in that context, even if it's not an explicitly accurate response to whether the watch or wearer fell (which in turn is why the focus is not on the fall but on their need for help).
Walmart sells flour, eggs, milk… and it’s doubtful that plastic tube bread is cheaper when you can make a loaf yourself for about thirty cents.

It sounds like there's something of a disconnect there.

If someone is making a reasonable number and quality of commits, fixing bugs, and communicating reasonably with their colleagues, does it matter if they're "showing up, putting in the hours, and not wasting too much time"?
So what's their definition?
Except that there is demonstrable evidence that indicates GPT actually does have some level of understanding via internalized world models (of Othello in this case, not chess, but the idea is the same): https://thegradient.pub/othello/

It doesn't let me choose the feed icon/image. Instead, the image is the text of the service name. This is very annoying because scrolling through my subscriptions on my podcast player, I primarily use the image to identify the one I am looking for.
Less Work Is Making People More Unhappy
They are not the problem directly. There's however just no intrinsic reason for the valuation to go up unless:

* investors bought out most of the housing and made it "scarce" or otherwise inflated prices - tacit cartel is common

* the area has been restructured to make it impossible for non-rich people to live there even if they get the housing for free (gentrification)

* people cannot inherit property as they cannot pay the inheritance tax on the inflated valuation

* there is an external scarcity factor like well paid jobs or at least opportunity for them

Note that lack of space to live or overloaded services actually tends to depress prices.

The statement already implies the people live there for a long time and have focused on the valuation for some reason. They will give their inheritors a problem they cannot pay off and have to try to sell. The ones being able to buy such property are likely to be investors. Now multiply that times a lot and you have the shape of the problem.
Since this involves agencies regulating fisheries I suspect that they are trying to get accurate data about aquatic life taken during fishing activities so that they can make accurate estimates of a species ability to thrive in an area and perhaps to drive legislation that would protect areas from over-fishing.

I don't think they give a shit about knowing which boat was where unless that boat is engaged in illegal activities. Smuggling in the states that are mentioned is still a thing since that is on a direct path from the Caribbean and northern parts of South America where illegal drugs originate.

Knowing which boat was where allows them to determine who might be meeting the smugglers. Once you shut down the airspace to traffickers it is a natural extension to try to limit their ability to shift to maritime assets to ship their products into the country through small ports or marinas in backwater locations.

I don't see this monitoring as an invasion of anyone's privacy. I see it more as an extension of border enforcement mechanisms to domains which have historically been difficult to control.
Why don't you still live there?
The whole point of mathematical formalization is usually to do something with that formalization.

This is spot on. I found myself using Fly for a project because it was super easy, not because I needed edge compute. TBH it's still actually unclear to me who needs edge compute? What apps require this sort of infra? It's not 99% of web apps right?
Propaganda is a strong term that suggests an ulterior motive. What is the ulterior motive here for calling Nalanda a university?
Yeah I like them both a lot, having tried deploying small projects on each. However, I’ve defaulted to render at the moment because I’ve found it painless for my current project, and edge compute is low on my list of priorities.

Though to be fair, even if render collapsed overnight, I think I’d still be equally satisfied after moving to fly.
