Buying stock with borrowed money is a terrible idea. You can go under real fast.

Buying real estate seems sound only because real estate has some good returns last years. But real estate can go down real fast like in 2008.

Many people gambled money, be it stock, real estate, crypto. Some got very rich, some didn't, some went bankrupt, some will.

I don't believe in speculation and gambling. The market can always can catch you on the wrong foot.

I believe in hard work, well invested thoughts and patience. The results might not spectacular but I rather construct my future than gamble it.

For every new billionaire who got lucky there are 100 new beggars who had bad luck.

Why is that?

For the record, my post wasn’t an attempt to shill, but I did feel it was appropriate to correct innacuracies I noticed in your earlier comment.

For example, Bitcoin actually subsidizes renewable energy investment by creating a market for intermittent electricity. It doesn’t force would be buyers of renewable energy towards fossil fuels. It helps make more renewable energy available than would otherwise exist.

Would you be so kind as to point out the error in my reasoning instead of accusing me of being a shill?
All the other compilers in the comparison are C compilers, right? Whereas this compiler is compiling its own home made language? So not sure how the comparison can be valid.

One day, pretty soon, we're going to get:

- Make me a script based on this idea.

- Now turn it into a comic book.

- Now turn the comic book into an animated movie.

- Now turn the animated movie into a photo realistic movie with actors who look like x, y, z but not enough to get us sued.

All of that will be probably be doable in less than a week, maybe even a day if you were a movie studio who could afford a redonkulous computer to run it all on.

We might even end up with the first AI movie stars. Absolutely wild times.
The thing I was going to miss most was just the ability to "brand" the images.

mysillyusername/mything vs mything/mything has a very different feel.

I wonder if they could get the best of both worlds if they offered a "DNS" version where when you pull from hub.docker.com it's actually just proxying from you hosting the image somewhere else.
OK, I think I understood your meaning, checked with GPT just in case.

OK, same issue flag or no flag, guess I'll file it. Wondered if there was some release or something that was more direct than the build script, thanks. Edit: filed #1

The entire point of stadia was never to have a decent gaming experience. It was to get in bed with gaming companies so they could act as middlemen and milk streamers for playing games. Google was clear, they didn't think it was fair for streamers to play games created by big companies without sharing that profit back with the game creators. As soon as they realized no one was having that, stadia went fully lame.
I asked ChatGPT to explain that and "prettify" it, for anyone interested (everything below from ChatGPT):

This is an AWK script that serves HTTP requests by listening on port 8080.

It defines several functions:

1. `send` function takes in status code, status message, content, content type, and content length and sends an HTTP response with the provided information.

2. `cf` function checks if a path contains `..` and returns 0 if it does, otherwise returns 1.

3. `mt` function determines the MIME type of a file using the `file` command.

The script sets the record separator RS and output record separator ORS to \r\n which is the line ending used in HTTP.

It enters an infinite loop listening for incoming connections on port 8080. When a connection is established, it reads the HTTP request line by line using `getline` and processes the `GET` request. If no path is provided, the script serves `index.html`. It checks if the requested path is safe using the `cf` function, and if it is a file, reads the file and sends an HTTP response using the `send` function. If the path is not valid or the file is not found, it sends a "404 Not Found" response.

If we have a thought experiment of a donut of mid rise 5 story apartments powered by its own footprint with a central park a couple km across and possibly commercial activity and outlying farms vs one colossal skyscraper in the middle.

The donut has less transmission infrastructure (most of the energy travels under 100m).

The food is less centralised, people could even go and get it from where it is packed on foot with no transport step if you wanted to go to the extreme.

Each floor of the apartments is holding up on average 2.5 floors above it so doesn't need to be as strong. It takes less material.

The center of the donut is free for other uses rather than needing to be entirely transport infrastructure to get people in and out.

The donut has a better exposed surface area to volume ratio (unless the majority in the skyscraper have no windows or is made from impossible materials and doesn't taper) so needs less heating/cooling. The donut has more thermal mass available for heating/cooling loops so doesn't need some higher tech thermal store.

Less energy is needed for water and sewerage per person.

Maybe 10 or 20 stories is optimal, maybe it's 3, but the peak isn't at the as big as possible skyscraper end.

> I think the basis for this feeling is that people keep moving here. We feel it when traffic gets worse

A city in Japan would build new dense neighborhoods and a new commuter rail line to serve them. A city in California would refuse to build new homes nearby, so people are forced to live in a far-away suburb and commute 2 hours by car. Then Californians complain about increasing traffic congestion.

This is key to my current perception of Google. I don't get invested in any new Google product for the same reason I don't get invested in any new Netflix show, it's a coin flip whether they will cancel it while I'm in the middle of it.

Search, Gmail, Android and Maps are the only things I regularly use, all of which I'd be happy to replace with another offering, some of which I'm already starting to replace.

The problem is that Google’s core business model is too profitable, that nothing else can ever compete for attention and resources.

But you’re right, they need to take the burn for awhile until escape velocity. I think they did with YouTube in general until the ads money hit.

They’re also more geeky and not that creative of a company, nor do they really get design, so some of their blind spots can hurt them from time to time, although that’s separate from their AI issues which yes they have bungled their lead do to fears of the feds.

I know folks that control for this by writing a fail fast implementation. I do it by talking it through. There’s a lot of modalities in the human experience and different people are adapted to different modalities. Building a strong complete team involves covering all the modalities and letting them work the way they work best, and as a team. A team that can write, speak, draw, produce functional demos, etc, is better than the one that can write.

Yes he kept putting off Isabella d'Este, who really wanted him to make a portrait of her, but it sounds like it was more for status then because she had any taste in art.

He painted some of Ludovico Sforza's mistresses. I think 'Lady with an Ermine' is very nice.

There's speculation that he took the Mona Lisa commission specifically because it was just a silk merchant who wanted a portrait of his wife. I.e. not a power player.

He never delivered the commission, it was with him when he died in France.

I agree that the stakes are lower in terms of harm, but was trying to express that whilst it might not be life and death, it might be hindering someone being able to do their job / use your product - eg: it still impacts customer experience and your (business) reputation.

False pages for transient errors are bad - ideally you only get paged if human intervention is required, and this should form a feedback cycle to determine how to avoid it in future. If all the pages are genuine problems requiring human action then this should feed into tickets to improve things

History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.

We cannot have a decade of 0% interest rates and expect no consequences. Peter Schiff predicted this from the moment the fed bailouted the banks in 2008.

There's nothing the fed can do to escape this one, it's either massive inflation or massive recession. The fed has avoided the latter by bailing out the banks again so expect double digit inflation for the next decade.

PS: My personal CPI (rent + food) is 23% so I'm already experiencing this. I would advise everyone to calculate their personal CPI because that's what affects your standard of living...The government numbers are rigged and everyone's reality differs...

It is always easy to demand more from the people who are better off than you and attribute their success on luck, be it heretical or not.

I am not going to say that I haven't been more privileged than most of the people on the planet. My ancestors made my country into what it is which gave me free education, low corruption, and in general a good start in life. However there are also a lot of people who had the same start as I did, but managed to squander it on the way.

Everyone should absolutely have equal opportunities in life. Education should be free for everyone. Bare human necessities should be taken care of no matter what you do. But I do not agree that everyone should have equal outcome no matter what.
> I've had some misses with OpenAI, but this was an excellent answer. I've also had some misses with Google, but this turned out to be something they surfaced excellent link for, too.

Think about the bias - maybe you were able to verify that the answer was excellent because you already knew the laws?
Or you Googled and compared it?
In both cases, ChatGPT did not perfom alone in providing validity.
It kinda gave a summary for search results of Google, or for your pre-knowledge.

Imagine if someone who does not know the laws, asks about them. ChatGPT cannot offer any validity alone for the user, at least yet.

ChatGPT provides often excellent answers, I am not denying it. But the bad 5% ruins everything if they sound alike for the correct 95%, and if ChatGPT cannot provide any validity for them, at least yet.

Often you ask things you don’t know or haven’t searched before.

There’s a third path here, which is to target WebAssembly directly, with no wrappers. Then you can import just the functionality the module needs to work.

> Skyscrapers also have a footprint that might no be immediately obvious - it's their energy, water and food demand

I am not sure I understand. Wouldn't all these statistics amount to roughly equal or lower consumption as compared to options that house a similar number of people ?

Skyscraper resource consumption = domestic resource consumption per capita + overhead

The domestic resource consumption is constant. The overhead is actually lower. Centralized heating is cheaper than individual heating. Lighting a bunch of corridors is cheaper than lighting an entire street of single family housing. Water consumption is also lower when the green spaces are communal (green rooftop) vs individual yards.

Most software engineers are absolutely garbage at SQL though. Their expertise often ends at CRUD queries, if they can even achieve that without their precious ORMs.
> Carbon footprint depends on energy sources,

Obviously true.

> Carbon footprint [does not depend on] population density.

Patently false. Carbon footprint can depend on more than one variable, and indeed does. Transportation of goods and people is a huge source of carbon, all of which goes way down in cities.

> it doesn't matter whether they live in isolated households or in one skyscraper.

It's much easier to heat every room in a skyscraper than isolated households due to volume vs. surface-area scaling, even if you hold square footage equal. But square footage is not equal; people occupy less space in skyscrapers, because of redundancy in amenities (shared garages, laundry, recreational areas) and other reasons.
>Instead, look at the job postings for titles you want. Note the skills in demand at more than one job. Focus on those skills

While I agree with the sentiment, there is way too much noise in that channel. Job listings written by non-technical people just throwing key words together, recruiters detached from specific roles and companies trying signalling growth to mention just a few sources of confusion...
Isolated spaced out households need more roads, more travel for goods, more pipes, more stormwater treatment, more services (as each needs a larger buffer to smooth spikes in demand), use an order of magnitude more energy to heat/cool, take more materials to build, require more vehicles.

You may only need to build up a little to fix most of it, but sprawl uses much much more of everything than building up.

But would you argue that when a large business moves into an undeveloped region and sets up a sweatshop with hazardous conditions, the people living there are not compelled to participate in capitalism? What if the owners of the business have been applying international pressure to the government to prevent the introduction of regulation to provide the citizens with safety, a better share of profits, or free market competition?
