My current way of using Google maps is to use it for searching and localization and then use what I call a "real" map app afterwards. I.e. on mobile I will use Guru Maps or on my desktop I'll use some version of Open Street Maps.

My main issue with Google maps is that it isn't really a mapping application anymore; it's a navigation application. It's not really suited to being used as a map (e.g. it jumps around randomly, it hides road names, etc.) and instead focuses on showing you how to get somewhere assuming you're basically a robot following their instructions (e.g. navigation while driving). That's fine and all, but really isn't what I want out of a mapping application. I'd choose a paper map any day over Google maps.

If you want to maintain a particular speed, you need to know not only your current speed but also your acceleration. Otherwise you are frequently going to be slipping pretty far off your target before you notice. High latency control loops like that are an impediment to precision.

If you are accelerating at 1 mph per second, it can take up to an entire second for the digital display to indicate that you are accelerating at all, and, even then, you still don't know how fast you are accelerating. The resolution just isn't good enough.

For a pizza recipe I currently go to a website. I typically go with a domain name that I know and trust. Let's say it's bonappetit.com or epicurious.com. I then filter accordingly to the ingredients I have and what sounds good.

If I'm to use chatgpt or this proposed Web 3.0 AI interface I'm then trusting the LLM to give me a good recipe based on the scraping of the internet, which for sure includes bonappetit.com, but which can also include every single bullshit SEO factory that's set up to make money off of Google's Display Network ads. Something as benign as a pizza might be fine but obviously placing trust in other things can be catastrophic given enough time.

The corporate internet is made up of middlemen but it's always been a somewhat symbiotic relationship. Meta provides the protocol and moderation for people to communicate with each other. Google (used to) provide the links to what you're looking for, acting as the middleman to help you find the information. Airbnb let's you list a property and find renters easily, etc. The bigger they are the shittier they get, but there's still a symbiotic tradeoff here.

With AI and LLM there's no more middleman. It's about ingesting anything public on the internet and republishing it as their own while also charging a fee. I get why there's so much enthusiasm on this technology. It's fucking magic compared to five years ago and hey, you can build a company off of an API and become your own middleman to the last stop of the AI company.

But speedrun what Google has become and you'll see what's going to happen if these LLMs become the source of everything. At some point pizza recipe sites will cease to exist and you'll be subject to using chatGPT to get one. Choice matters.

> Exponential growth isnt possible in a finite world.

That the world and its resources are finite is irrelevant. You probably mean "finite economy". Resources and work done upon them may be the basis of cost, but the economy is not so tightly coupled to resources because cost is not equal to price. Price is whatever the market accepts.

If we have a finite economy you're not wrong about this, but you're omitting a few corollaries.

1) A finite economy implies a zero-sum game.

2) "Exponential growth" is only exponential for a window of time. Nothing lasts forever.

3) Bankruptcy exists. It's the safety valve that releases the pressure of compound interest.

So, for there to be exponential winners there must also be one or more losers. This allows for the growth you're skeptical of. You see this all the time on the stock market. "Growth" is most often money being moved around. Assume the trivial case where there's one "loser" and one "winner". If the loser is worth a lot more, a tiny drop in its value can be a massive win for the winner. If it keeps accelerating for a while it will look like "exponential growth" for the winner.

As for bankruptcy, that loss is someone's gain. The value can be recovered and growth at any rate can still occur. Just because the loser couldn't keep up with their debt doesn't mean their assets aren't enough to pay it back plus interest with different people driving.

Anyway, the total value of the world economy is not really finite. It doesn't go up just because of inflation, but also from new value being added. New value can be due to efficiency gains on work, not just the discovery of new resources. The rate at which new value is created is unpredictable though.

Whew ok final nail here: before modern capitalism, economic systems of the past definitely had these same properties and successfully operated in scarce environments before the industrial revolution. Shuffling money around to keep things afloat is not a new idea. It might be the oldest idea we've got and all modern economic systems have this in common. What you quoted from the article is not a strong argument against capitalism. It's an argument for anarchy.

I think we're cycling back towards a general preference for statically typed languages, for one thing. Additionally, a number of traditionally functional language characteristics have been finding more widespread adoption among popular languages. Putting these together, OCaml is on a short list of languages that are functional and statically typed and, uh, perhaps "intuitive" is the word I want — Haskell is not very intuitive for many people due to its lazy evaluation scheme.

In my opinion, OCaml would see even more widespread use if the documentation were improved. I find it a chore to figure out how to use OCaml well. I also would like to use third-party libraries like Jane Street's Base because they've put a lot of work into providing even more functionality in their standard library, but their documentation is absolutely atrocious (where it exists at all).

OCaml is a mature language but does not have a very supportive ecosystem. I'm hoping the renewed interest will prompt changes there.

That's what I have been working toward with my language-ext library [1]. Including a ZIO like effects system [2], Haskell-like Pipes [3], Clojure-like concurrency primitives [4], the fastest immutable data-structures in .NET [5], and lots of other common FP bits.

Obviously more support for expression based programming would be welcome (and higher kinds), but you can do a lot with LINQ and a good integrated library surface.

Assume that a = 1 is true

I just don't read code as I would a mathematical proof. I think in terms of what memory locations are equal to what in the stack, or the heap, and what is the lifecycle of that data in that memory address.

When I read "int a = 1" in C#, I implicitly translate that to "take a 4 byte piece of memory on the stack, and set it equal to 1". I don't think in the abstract sense of a formula.

When I see a class like:

class Foo {
int x = 2;
string xyz = "Hello";
}

var foo = new Foo();

I read this as "allocate a chunk of memory big enough in the heap to insert a 4 byte integer and an 8 byte pointer. Set that 8 byte pointer equal to a static chunk of memory where the "Hello" string is pooled.
When the intention works then it helps. But as it stands it seems like an extra layer of fluff. If it’s primed to ask a question after every input, even when the instructions are clear as day then it automatically has to find a question to ask about, and will often ask irrelevant or questions that take you down the wrong path.

The type of question being asked, and also deciding IF a question even needs to be asked, needs some work. That’s all.

QA at a software company is a bit far from what I'm thinking of here - I'm not looking at finesse or QA for a product facing a large audience; more security against regressions.

Fiverr and Upwork both deliver too unpredictably, can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a day. If you have 5 changes to get tested it's a nightmare doing it with those services. With scale you can hire a tester but if your work is come-and-go it's not sensible and sometimes you want fresh eyes on each new version.

With tools like vercel I am surprised there's no way to programmatically include paying a tester - like a CI - to give you the human-touch manual all clear, without having to hire somebody.

What data is Worldcoin collecting that palintir would care about?
In a very real sense, the hardware has given a realization of microservice ideas, but at the hardware level. My WIFI card, the common and popular example, probably has more processing power than some of the early desktop computers back in the day. Certainly SSDs are getting much more complicated.

Ok. You seem to be very eager to connect things that aren't necessarily connected and I'd suggest a change of sources for your information. Up to 3 months ago volunteers outnumbered training capacity, 'numerous videos of military aged men being abducted from the streets of Ukraine in order to be sent to said front-lines' is the purest form of Russian propaganda. Yes, Ukraine has a conscript army, yes, there are deserters, no, there are no 'abductions' by the Ukrainian army, though if deserters are arrested they face up to 10 years in prison.

The only country where people are abducted from the streets to be sent to the front is in Russia, and in Russian occupied territory.

Authoritarian regimes are actually correlated with the popularity of free software.

Russia and China both have government-mandated forks of Linux. Chinese companies like Linaro, Huawei and Alibaba contribute to Linux kernel very actively.

When the war against Ukraine escalated 1.5 years ago, proprietary software companies like Microsoft, Adobe and Apple quit Russia due to international sanctions and reputational risks. Since then, pretty sure free software became even more popular over there.

The whole female body is adapted for pregnancy, it's not simply a function of the womb and ovaries. For example, the pelvis is a different shape from males, and hormones released in pregnancy loosen the joints to allow the baby to grow and the pelvis to shift to accommodate the growing baby. There are many more anatomical and physiological specialisations like this that only apply to the female body.

This suggestion that there will be no issues if ovaries and a womb are fitted inside a male body is entirely unproven. The only way to prove it is to do the experiment and attempt to bring a baby to term, but this is a huge unknown and the ethical issues here are immense.

How many of these tiny, developing humans will die during this experimentation phase, or be permanently disabled for life? How much of their suffering is acceptable to fulfil this questionable agenda of enabling males to gestate a human?

Why should the desires of these men override the human rights of infants to not be experimented upon?
Renogy is a popular brand for solar systems, and they have some great resources. Also lots of YouTube vids that walk through solar installation on RVs and vans. Once you know what you need (panels, charge controller, batteries, inverter), it starts to come together pretty quickly. I’d just make sure to scope out your typical watt usage so that you size the system to what you need. For me, I can run everything for a remote work setup _except_ the air conditioner and things like the microwave (I’m on a 800W system with 200ah of battery). My fridge can run on propane, otherwise that would be a non-starter for off-the-grid remote life/work.

One scenario I'm hoping for: I had a device that was about the size of a lighter (but even smaller) that you would wear around a necklace under your shirt, between your shoulder blades. You'd calibrate it and over time it would train your posture as you slumped by vibrating gently.

I'm not trying to comment/ debate on if this will ever be a mass-market product, but, it would be fascinating if they built a posture corrector into it, and it ends up that AVP users develop better posture compared to keyboard/ mouse/ screen users

That's how train brakes work, actually. They short-circuit the electric motors through an array of resistors (with cooling fans to keep them from melting).. This is effectively engine braking on an electric motor. Electric cars do this too but they have batteries to absorb the energy instead of turning it all into heat.
Makes sense. Thanks for the feedback.
