This is hilarious. And people wonder why I'm such a Luddite.
> roads are BY FAR the most expensive part of infrastructure you mentioned - and those are financed by gasoline taxes.

This is a common misunderstanding of how roads are funded. Roads are not solely funded by gas taxes and are predominantly paid for by funds raised from sources other than gas taxes.
Like everything, it really depends on the person.

I also like to espouse a philosophy that problems should be investigated from inside out. Start with what you had direct control over, assume the issue is with something you did. Then work your way out.

However, I have watched more than one person do the exact opposite: assume everything else was wrong before even looking at their own contributions.

And this holds not just for programming, but for any endeavor.
The problem is Google has no incentive to do it. Section 230 gives them blanket immunity. They make just as much money shipping malware as legitimate ads.

Charge Google a fine every time they serve a malicious ad and they will fix it.
Of course not, but is that question even asked in good faith? Are you not aware that the European grid is made out of multiple different technologies each with a different benefits and drawbacks?

Right now the most important aspect of the grid is not price, it is the reduction of fossil fuel dependency. It is not sustainable to use fossil fuels in the short run and it is definitively not sustainable in the long run. Countries need to invest and start building replacement for existing fossil fuel power plants, and they also need at the same time increase capacity. On top of that we also need to start replace and remove part of the hydro energy production in order to prevent several extinctions.

It is also not morally or economically sensible to continue spend subsidizes on fossil fuel plants. A minimum requirement for government subsidizes should be zero green house emissions and geopolitical self-sufficient within the borders of EU.
I already mentioned that it doesn't scale.

The real issue, IMO, is that Google's business model is just fundamentally bad. But Google is large enough that it doesn't matter. They're like a large industrial polluter poisoning the lands and arguing that there's nothing they can effectively do about it because addressing the problem would be bad for their business.
This is a reference to Florida's Combating Public Disorder Act (2021 HB1). Amongst other things it creates a defense to civil damages for personal injury,
wrongful death, or property damage if the injured person was "acting in furtherance of a riot" (a crime created in the same act). This was widely reported at the time as being a response to cases of people driving through or shooting rioters, which was seen by the right wing as justified self defense against criminals.

FWIW it looks like there's a injunction against the law being implemented while courts decide on whether it infringes right to protest [1]. From what I understand though, that means any civil suits trying to use that defense would be on hold.

If you're implying that any problem of N-dimensional geometry can be reduced to machine learning techniques, then maybe there is a way to reinterpret machine learning as cutting N-dimensional cakes with M-dimensional knives?
Hey there, just to assume there are not enough blind or visually impaired musicians out there is not true. If you enpower people to do what they want then you will see how many these are. i mean there are more than 300 Million people worldwide living with a visual impairment, out of which more than 45 million are fully blind.

I am a blind artist and would love to see improvements in Ableton live. I have also a proposal on how this could work with the NVDA, screen reader but for that the ableton installation should come with the NVDA controllerclient.dll. Here is the documentation
https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/tree/master/extras/controll...

There is also the file NVDAController.h which lists the definitions for C. There are also some examples on how this is being implemented practically, the software must call the functions from the NVDA controllerClient.dll in order for NVDA to speak the elements of the software.
Here are some examples:

> Look, I hate Single Family Housing as much as anyone - but roads are BY FAR the most expensive part of infrastructure you mentioned - and those are financed by gasoline taxes.

I don't think that's true. Gasoline taxes aren't high enough to pay for roads.

https://frontiergroup.org/resources/who-pays-roads/

It seems as of 2015, 50% of road related costs came out of general taxes. And as gas taxes have remained fairly constant, while roads have become more expensive to repair as they get worse, I can only think that number has gone up since then.

Weird that the French somehow missed all those basic facts some random person can come up on the internet when they presented their designs in recent years and started building those massively over budget and overdue projects, eh?

> they are among the cheapest forms of green energy

The only interpretation of "cheap" which makes nuclear "cheapest" in something is the one where you ignore everything related to nuclear waste. From reprocessing over storage to decommissioning. Making it a lie, basically. Just like the "green" in this greenwashing.
Its also important during the building process to keep the rats nest of wiring to a minimum, it can get fairly messy inside spacecraft. Then its also much easier to ensure cabled are kept apart from other signals that could interfere with them.
In my experience, this has been called "ndjson", or newline-delimited JSON. It's a remarkably effective and useful pattern.

Apparently jsonlines is only a website, whereas ndjson is a website+spec. Given the conceptual simplicity, this claim seems a bit dubious. Having two of these identical things, each one clawing for mindshare is dumb and counter-productive. Why can't we all be friendly and get along for the greater good? Oh well, it's par for the course.

> But regardless - the compiler is much higher than the 10,000'th item on the blame list. Even mature, popular compilers have bugs! Hell, they have many known, open bugs!

I don't even understand when compilers started being thought as these perfect, bug-free programs. It's been some kind of gradual change over the decades. A lot of people seem surprised when I mention that around 15 years ago -O3 in gcc was practically unusable. I don't mean "it would actually degrade performance", I mean "it would break your program".
I don't think that there are any winners in Brexit. It corrupted the British politics and EU lost UK, besides the economical impact.

Barriers on trade and travel were raised without purpose other than having barriers.

Even the brexiteers lost their mojo as their purpose of existence disappeared and a particularly incompetent and toxic breed of politicians dominated the political discussions. Those too lost by getting exposed for what they are, destroying the support for legitimate position which those were pretending to stand for.

Absolutely no winners. Any perceived winners are temporary simply because you don't have anything to win by destroying your tight and fruitful relationship with your closest neighbours and you can't move somewhere else.
I have heard these schemes and problems being perpetuated by agencies like the police, where they have terminal salary-based retirement benefit plans. (or in the style of, "your last 3 highest paying years") The officers conspire to get the retiring man as many hours as possible in his last years, overtime etc. Or more subtle things like, every road construction site has to have a police officer on duty. It's a bad oversight / policy by the government that allows this to happen. And hard to change politically.

Very true and worth evangelizing to others. I have unknowingly violated -fstrict-aliasing in some part of my code only to discover later that it is benign at -O0 and metastasized at -O3.

This freaks me out the most in networking code, where there is all kinds of casting of structs (esp. if you blindly copy-paste examples from StackOverflow) and performance usually matters. Rust has inspired me to take more time to profile C code to see whether strict aliasing (strict overflow, etc.) actually make a significant enough improvement to merit the UB-risk, review time, and acid in the stomach.
GP is likely talking about US federal gas taxes -> Highway Trust Fund -> Federal highway spending.

Notably, though, the HTF spends more than it earns in gas tax revenue; the shortfall comes from the general fund. And also Federal highway spending does not cover all highway spending; the rest comes from the states[1][3]. Federal highway spending also does not cover local roads at all.

Having existed when 128GB USB flash drives were expensive.

Naturally as the storage amount increases, the price per GB decreases over time.

Consumers have been saying exactly what you have been saying since the dawn of storage. When storage capacities get higher, what you had before only becomes cheaper.
The switch is also a UX nightmare. I can't believe the time and stress incurred to get profiles setup and purchase games. Completely drained my excitement. I have like four of them...all sit unused.
These stats are for the U.S., but one thing that usually get ignored in these retirement discussions is just how massively life expectancy depends on income level and sex: http://www.equality-of-opportunity.org/health/

Raising the retirement pension age screws over the poor, especially poor men. Perhaps retirement age should be tied to income/wealth somehow ... and maybe even sex (as controversial as I imagine that would be).

Quantifying memorization across language models

Since you said capacity is fixed _at a given point in time_, this is technically true but not really useful.

Populating aging happens over time, not all at once. Overall production also changes over time. It’s not inherently true that for “non-producing” (not sure exactly how you’d define that) people to consume goods the “producing” people must consume less, at least not relative to past levels of consumption.
Yes, but it is still a better situation to be in because then when you do start to moving toward renewables (which seems almost inevitable with the lowering costs of solar and batteries (battery improvements largely coming from EV development(?))) it will have more impact.

EV's also have some other side benefits, like less noise (noise pollution is a real thing) and less air pollution (tires and asphalt are also a large part of car related air pollution).
That makes sense! I don’t use my AirPods with my work MacBook, as I have separate Apple IDs. So the continuity feature doesn’t work for me anyhow.

Doesn't look like Filevault has a duress option— otherwise it'd be pretty nice to have a separate password that boots you to a dummy partition showing a fresh desktop install with apparently nothing on it.

In board games, it kind of makes sense. There's basically only a handful of ways to win anyway. A common joke at my board game night when teaching a game is to start by saying "In this game, the winner is the person with the most points." everyone playfully gasps "Stop the presses!" "Shocker!" ...because it's just so common in the games we play.

Now how you get the most points will come in the details, and the end game scoring might not be elaborated on until near the end of the explanation. But starting with 'winner is the most points' or 'winner is first over the finish line' or 'you win if you achieve X' is usually a good way to start the explanation.

Most games victory condition is usually either 'most points', a race, or achieving some binary condition, and even those last two can be thought of as 'the winner scored 1 point and the losers score 0 points'. That's how BoardGameArena handles it.
I didn't say efficiently. I said fraud, which is a different thing.

If you want to attack efficiency, you have a lot of work to deeply change how the government, and in fact many aspects of our public / government works. How they use contractors, the kinds of contracts they're allowed to enter into, the reviews and permitting and public commenting they need to engage in, unions, labor rates, etc. That would be as big a challenge as the above debate.
well, we _do_ have a head start and stable (post?)industrial societies with mechanisms already set in place.

I'm amused that you think this is some sort of "gotcha". As someone who cycles, I would take this deal without hesitation it got rid of cars.

Of course, cycle-on-pedestrian deaths basically zero relative to the deaths caused by cars, so it's a worthless analogy. However, I do like the implication that we should be regulating transit based on momentum rather than just having special status for cars.

That's not the point. The point is what they are producing isn't contributing value to our lives, or actually creating negative value. Building highways looked very productive on paper in the 50's, but now we live in car dependent sprawl, and we continue to pay people to maintain that sprawl when we could have walkable cities that are human friendly.
I think the design flaw in most of the problematic rules was from too simple of regex matching. Looking for a string pattern should be a clue to do some deeper analysis (maybe verify via AST), not necessarily to flag the string alone as security failure.

There's a lot of UBI proponents who really just intend it to be a way to strip away current benefits with something that in aggregate provides less. Not all UBIs are the same.

There's a similar situation with the UK's universal credit. On the face of it it was replacing a patchwork of benefits with a single unified benefit, which should be better and more efficient. However the implementation was designed to actually reduce benefits paid out (e.g. they replaced up front payments with payment in arrears, made it difficult to sign on to, kick people off for small issues, etc etc).

Changes labelled with the same name can be radically different in actual results, you really have to look into any given proposal.

I figured the one upside of retirement was it was a baseline for the poor. If it screws them over too I think it should just be eliminated all together and return the tax to the worker to save/invest on their own.
its normalizing but for the worst in developed economies. housing is now out of reach while decades ago a blue collar salary was enough,to own a house.(in the USA you can still get six digits blue collar jobs that lift you out of poverty and give you access to housing. in france that is merely a dream or a netflix show)
today already for many qualified workers (tech for instance) staying in india vs coming to france is better (there are other factors like healthcare or other that are at play but in pure economic power it would just be better to have a good it job in india vs europe) that was definitly not the case 20 even 10 years ago.

Not exactly true, you can burn natural gas very efficiently at a power plant and coal can be made relatively efficient compared to say gasoline. Power plants can have very extensive emissions controls maintained by dedicated staff as well.

Going electric decouples fuel use from power use allowing your vehicle to run off whatever fuel source is available even garbage [1]. Power generation can transition to renewables without replacing existing vehicles.

With enough batteries in circulation recycling turns into a circular economy with batteries being high grade ore.

Electric vehicles allow energy independence because of fuel agility even if emissions are no better, but because of the agility allows less painful transitions to better energy sources.
