> Considering that Brahui is a Dravidian language

David McAlpin made a very strong case for Brahui *not* being a Dravidian language, but rather descended from the proto-elamite language family. He showed how Proto dravidian and Proto-elamite could have descended from the same parent language - he calls this Proto Zagrosian.

It's a very interesting take and I am personally convinced that he's on the right track.

Hmm, I don’t know, what about products that have very thin margins? I suppose you would like to mirror the market price of that product as closely as possible, and that seems like it’s better to automate it.

At some point I knew enough people who “lost” things and a kleptomaniac or two and it really called into question what “crime rate” means. It’s things people noticed and that they thought they could get the authorities interested in. What’s the real number?

When I lived in Melbourne, I found someone's car with GOATSE as the personalised licence plate and of course took a photo. This was only about 10 years ago. I've got the photo still. It was a fantastic rude word filter reach-around against the registration office, so to speak.

Author here! That makes sense; it only runs the algorithms that show up in the table, but it is running every algorithm under the hood. I tried to make them build on each other (so for example, every one after the UUID table uses that same table without recreating it) but I'm probably doing a lot of extra allocation.

I'll see if I can find any performance gains. Sorry about that!

Kautilya and the Supremacy of Hegemony [video]
Interesting perspective.

I’d add:

- “Hard problems” are often good game mechanics. Think traveling salesman or bin packing

- There are player archetypes. They each want different experiences. The collector vs the masterer.

- Emotion has to fit somewhere in the picture. It’s not just paint on top of mechanics. More likely the reverse is true. “Fun” isn’t an emotion.

- On distributions, too much randomness quickly becomes boring. Too little can be bland. It’s like a spice. How much is called for will vary by dish.
I know at least two properties with ADUs larger than their primary residences.
Your statement presumes that such a list gives new, actionable information of benefit to criminals. This also implies that existence (or lack) of technology is a good proxy for effectiveness of policing in a locale, which in turn implies that the technology was purchased to improve said effectiveness. Neither of those things are obviously true in general, or even on average.

I can see how collating such information might make things easier for some outliers, but it's hard to imagine this making much difference one way or another - the criminals who really care already have much better information sources, and the ones who don't aren't likely to do much research, or act effectively on it, anyway.
Yeah, that's not a bad thing (Notification implementation in general is one of the parts of Android that's consistently better than iOS in most user research).

14-19 an hour is atrocious in 2023, and of course most of these employees are limited to part-time hours so the company can avoid paying for benefits, all while advising employees to use food stamps. Medicaid is rarely available to such employees because they will often make barely too much income to qualify so they try going without insurance. It's despicable and frankly so is anybody defending such arrangements.

There is nothin "wrong" or "right" about free market economics bc there is no concept of morality in free market economics. It is what it is.

But it is the clearest of signals of what is going - US standard of living has peaked and is going down.

> Wouldn't this possibly incentivize more ADU building thus supplying more housing units to the market?

Is that trend that benefits me? I do not think so, I do not want to live in a ADU nor do I want one on my property, nor do I want to live in a community that has ADUs.

Other realistic anime/manga:

Detroit and most places in the US already have property tax. Little old grandma already has to pay more every year when her property becomes more valuable. And homestead exemptions already exist to prevent kicking grandma to the street.

A LVT would just shift property tax burden more toward empty lots or less-developed parcels and away from more-developed parcels. It wouldn't result in killing little old ladies.

It's not a great article but it's raising a real point.

Andreessen's manifesto is bordering on the same error as free market fundamentalism (and other flavors of social darwinism) that views free markets as infallible. Markets are great at generating wealth but there's no reason to believe they can't lead us astray. FTX is an example of that.

I think we should be 10-15% more optimistic about technology. And I agree that the source of a lot of environmentalism is unconscious anti-humanism. But there is such a thing as too much optimism, and it leads to stuff like "web3" and crypto nonsense.

Gas is $3 / gallon here. Most of what you are paying IS taxes.

The problem with no income tax is the poor spend more of their income, so end up paying more taxes AND the overall tax revenue decreases.

I literally have nowhere to charge the thing when I'm home because I live in an apartment. My workplace does not do electric car charging in the parking lot. So an electric car is a no-go for me.
The idea that because EVs need electricity from the grid, and the grid itself is not perfectly clean at this moment in time, is somehow a flaw or a problem is absurd on its face. An electric car can, over the course of its life, continue to get cleaner and cleaner energy as the grid it pulls from gets cleaner and cleaner. That's a win all around. It's also the entire fucking point. Any gas-burning cars produced can only burn gas and will never be cleaner (save for some fanciful conversions).
We already have townhouses (that share a wall but own their own land) and condos (which share land and the building). There are also well-established legal precedents for things like easements (e.g., for access, water, sewer, see [1]).

I'm not saying this is a good idea, but is it really that different?

Yeah the piece that "stacking" also really helps on is code-review. So When you have the "contextual" diff in the second PR you can get different stake-holders to review that one, while maybe not needing them on PR 1 for example.

It also allows you to stay unblocked the entire time you're waiting on these dependent PRs.

For "how they do it on github": the way we do it at Graphite (spoiler I work there), is that we make the unit of change a PR instead of a commit. ie. every PR has one small commit, and these get stacked on top of each other. The tool itself abstracts some of the complexity out of rebasing and managing all of these stacked PRs (which in the article are referred to as stacked diffs).

Does that make sense?
Which of those positions do you believe are plagued by obstructionism, and in what context are they being obstructionist?
Love the humour on this site. "Drum n Bass MCs aren't like Hip Hop MCs. Some rhyme but most are just glorified hype-men. And some are quite good but most just sound like they're trying to eat a set mousetrap." :D
ADUs are one relatively small tool for providing additional supply of housing in places where it is politically hard to do so. There is no way they will solve the problem on their own, but they do help, and we need all the help we can get.

As far as being "sheds", plenty of them are quite nice and well done. Small yes, but small units are perfectly appropriate for, say retirees, or students, or many other demographics.

In a different time, they were called "Granny units". A place where someone who doesn't need much can live, and remain local to their entire support system and social network.

> Just like it's notable (but unsurprising) that all of the big manufacturers of ICE vehicles are opposed to this change.

I don't think it's notable at all. Companies opposing (potential) legislation that will cost them large amounts of money aimed at them lobbied for by a competitor isn't exactly shocking.

> but in this transitional phase there's absolutely no reason that we should be incentivizing manufacturers to create larger / less efficient vehicles, which is what our existing regulatory framework has inadvertently done for decades now

The truck market is one thing (and I tend to agree there), but uh, car manufacturers are making their vehicles more and more efficient, just in general.

A 2010 Toyota Camry 4-cylinder, 2.5L automatic gets 26MPG (22/32). A 2023 with the same specs gets 32 (28/39) [1].

A 24% increase in fuel efficiency for an ICE in just over a decade is something that should be lauded. Can they become even more efficient (and recognizing there is more to fuel economy than just the engine)? Sure. Does it require Tesla lobbying to try to force it? I am a lot less sure.

Putting together a server to store and serve all this content for myself, my family and even some friends: 750€, on a generous configuration.

Germany has this "TV tax" (I think the UK as well) which they charge you 18€/month supposedly to help with the production of the public broadcasting networks. I'd really wish we could turn this into a public fund where we can choose who gets to receive the contribution. It would basically destroy all middlemen in both the private and public sectors.
Yes, the bar for affordability is low, meaning high prices are still considered affordable in that market. The bar measures what is considered affordable, not the price.

"> A meaningful fraction of Americans, Brits and Canadians are generally against inoculation [1]."

He said was. The disease was deadly, now it's threat to you is extremely low. If you weren't aware, we stopped vaccinating for small pox in 1972, as soon as it was no longer a threat in the United States. It would not be globally eradicated until 1979.

And I think that's largely the problem many people have. Forcing vaccinations for diseases that pose little risk is illogical. In looking up information on this topic I somehow stumbled onto this [1] page. For instance now the seasonal flu vaccine is required for immigrants, and even in some schools!?

The flu poses an extremely negligible risk to both of these groups. It's hard not to see the motivation behind this as being simply directing ever more $$$ to big-pharma interests, which the people making these rules are often directly invested in. It doesn't feel like rational public health guidance, and that destroys trust.

One particular instantiation of...

> Technology is not apolitical or value-neutral. They don't inevitably make peoples' lives better (especially when it comes to systemic issues like income or wealth inequality).

...would be to substitute "technology" with "markets". Karl Polanyi wrote an entire book (The Great Transformation) about precisely this point.

> It can. It absolutely can do good things. But only if there's political will behind those decisions. It isn't automatic, and it isn't by default. And the only way we'll get from here to there is to care about the things Marc Andressen decries: Social responsibility, tech ethics, Radical CS, etc.

There's a direct parallel here to what Polanyi called "social embededness". Stealing from Wikipedia...

> Polanyi argued that in non-market societies there are no pure economic institutions to which formal economic models can be applied. In these cases economic activities such as "provisioning" are "embedded" in non-economic kinship, religious and political institutions.

And by contrast, that market societies attempt to "disembed" economic action and claim that markets are some Platonic ideal existing outside their social context, which leads to all sorts of irrational and strange outcomes.

To tie it back to technology, I think what we're seeing today is precisely the same, but rather than economic action in markets, it is a cluster of affordances from technology at scale (ubiquitous mobile computing, the cloud, etc). Techno-solutionists/optimists want to believe that "technology" exists disembeded from social context, and that it is a pure, higher thing beyond and above the petty squabbles of politics and culture.

(And I mean, taking metaphors at face value... it's called THE CLOUD. Even the name suggests it being above and beyond mere human ken.)

> how expensive UUIDs are

I don't quite get it. The normal string encoding of a UUID (d92b13b6-6780-4b98-82cc-d469dcdd42ab) clearly requires more bytes (36B) than the actual UUID itself (16B). The string encoding is for showing to users, it's not what you store in your DB, or your CRDT -- for that, you use the actual 16-byte value.

> Not only will your UUIDs take up 2x the space of a 64bit integer, they'll compress horribly by comparison. Integer compression is so good these days you can compress integers such that they basically end up taking up ~1/2 a byte instead of 8. Doing that with UUID v4s is fundamentally not going to work.

Yes, UUIDs are 128 bits, and 64 bit integers are 64 bits, but in both cases you're storing them as raw bytes -- or, maybe, integers, sure. Whatever compression works on your int64s will work just as well on your UUID int128s.
I hope you didn't spill your latte on your kiffeyeh while typing this.
I was being a bit tongue in cheek. However this was relatable, especially to the plans of the original musicians:

"There’s no clear monetization strategy — yet. [...] they’re focusing on growing [the band] and developing complementary new [songs|social media].""
Still no motive for a deliberate action. I'm having a hard time believing that releasing COVID-19 was a competing plan for accomplishing anyones goals.
It is a bit of a strange part of the manifesto. Surely increasing energy efficiency is a better way to the same endpoint of abundance that Marc champions. After all, if we make everything 1,000x energy efficient (to use his example) we get to the same endpoint.
Side idea: wouldn't it be great if somebody made a "vocal remover" for streams that have them?
There were 6 million EV's sold in China in 2022. There were only 3 million gasoline vehicles sold in the US in 2022 so there is obviously enough Lithium refinery capacity for the entire US market at least.
