I am on a fence regarding this.

Coordination problem is not a simple or easy one. Totalitarian/dictatorship answer to it of course exists, (not sure if author implicitly suggests it), with a lot of obvious downsides.

For example dictatorship really sucks if you have to open a new market, to the detriment of incumbents, of course.

Hand-picking winners and manual resource allocation works remarkably bad in most contexts. Fall of USSR and what followed it is too recent, too bright examples to ignore.

So, while the question asked is really, really, interesting and i am sure we can do better, "just do" isn't really an answer and oversimplification. Resources are finite. Talent can't be applied everywhere at once, there is not enough talent. Why this solution (higher education for everyone) and not that (education reform with changed focus)? And so on.

I think author knows this better than me, single article has to focus on something, and in general "something needs to be done" is a sentient i can agree with

Airplane taxiing is manual. ATC can tell the plane to use runway A, and the plane can check that A is free, but neither will stop the pilot from accidentally steering into runway B.

Looks good, Haml is a great templating language.

The biggest problem with Haml is probably that it's really difficult to write a tree-sitter parser for it. In this case, you would have to parse both haml, go, CSS and JavaScript and be aware of indentation.

Self-hosted, open source options are out there for RSS readers, like Tiny RSS or Inoreader if you want a nice replacement for Google Reader. Email relies on a separate app to read them though (email client).

With RSS, I like that I dont have to give up my email address that can get hacked or stolen. It's one of the reasons we have so much spam in our emails. Also like companies like openrss and rss.app that are making RSS useful and cool again.
Yeah, throw in different languages and accents and all kinds of variations and ... I tend to agree.
I remember 10 years ago when the fear was that cheaper programmers in developing countries (India mostly) would be doing all the programming.

It's just a scam to keep you scared and stop you from empathizing with your fellow workers.
Microsoft and Google mainly use C++.
Programming is special because 99% of times you can tell immediately if something works or not, so the risk of misinformation is very narrow.
“We’ve always done it like this” will no longer be a good argument when one of the increasing number of near misses turns into an accident.
By no means are banks the hero in most stories but from the view of normal depository actions I do not believe them to be the villain. Banks are required to follow very specific rules when it comes to deposits and while yes they should be making a spread on the money, they are not just buying up risky investments with it.

I think people underestimate the calories they've had, and over estimate the calories they need, to begin with. Calorie surpluses with exercise really only fulfills one temporary periodic goal that not everyone one may have. Even as I fasted every day and lost 70 lbs sustainably for years, I was still able to significantly increase my muscle mass, energy capacity, and theoretically my longevity during that period.
Because simulating logic with statistics generally produces a flawed result that needs to be painstakingly reviewed and verified and altered. Most competent programmers find this to be more tedious and boring than just writing code.
It doesn't have to be, true, but it is heck of a lot healthier and easier if it is meat.

I have nothing against veganism and vegetarianism. It is a lofty goal.

But strictly on health standpoint, no amount or kind of plant food can (currently) beat healthy whole animal tissue (you should really eat more than just meat and also not all animals are same way healthy to eat).

Now, this doesn't mean there can't be better plant-derived foods in the future. A protein is a protein is a protein.

The problem with plant based protein is they come in wrong concentrations, wrong combinations, they are missing some stuff or they have extra things that make protein more difficult to absorb. If we can fix these points, we can have healthy plant based diets.

But really the main benefit of meat is that you get close to the right concentrations of everything by very definition. If you eat whole animal, that is. We have evolved to eat meat and only evolved to eat plants to supplement some small things (mainly vitamin C and to eat fructose and alcohol to get fat for the winter).

With this, any stupid person can eat relatively healthy diet. You just put a steak in your mouth and you are 80% of the way there.

On the other hand eating healthy diet on plants is a difficult task requiring planning and diligence that I think half of the population is simply not equipped with brain power to execute correctly.

If the Wikipedia page on Boltzmann brain is accurate, then the probability is surprisingly (but relatively) high.

> The Boltzmann brain gained new relevance around 2002, when some cosmologists started to become concerned that, in many theories about the universe, human brains are vastly more likely to arise from random fluctuations; this leads to the conclusion that, statistically, humans are likely to be wrong about their memories of the past and in fact be Boltzmann brains. When applied to more recent theories about the multiverse, Boltzmann brain arguments are part of the unsolved measure problem of cosmology.
Books are awesome. Really.

But reading is the first step. You never learn only by reading. You have to relate the ideas with your prior knowledge and practice it or apply it somewhere.

You also have to get a nice book. And have to practice reading. Reading is a skill, it's an extension of imagination. You have to practice that, and reading is an awesome way.
One of the neatest hacks I've seen and think about occasionally but have never used is a library that defines a TWEAK macro to do this at the source level:

<https://blog.voxagon.se/2018/03/13/hot-reloading-hardcoded-p...>

In other words, rather than having a graphical interface for tweaking values at runtime, you interface with it the same way you normally would—by changing the constants in the original source file, but the difference between the ordinary stop-and-recompile way of doing it is that the changes get picked up live, so there is no stop-and-recompile. (This isn't exactly novel; webdevs have had hot code reloading to various degrees for a while, but the conventional static languages folks have generally needed to rely on support in sophisticated IDEs to get the same thing, and many end up going without.)

For those who want the graphical control panel, I suppose you could do the complement: when a value is tweaked in-game, it could overwrite the existing value in the source file so you don't have to tweak in-game and then manually copy them out to source once you've landed on the values you like.

Fewer rather than zero businesses. Rich individuals could directly invest. Where banks shine is in making moderate risk investments which aren’t worth much individually but are a significant economic boost in aggregate.

In my experience, working with people from Canada to Argentina, everyone has said that "America" in their common vernacular means the US of A, and "Americans" accordingly.

But I wonder if this isn't just the US version of your Mandarin step 4. The US has dominated the global cultural conversation and the "other americans" have given up or never thought to challenge it.

...

Distantly related: I have spoken to Mexicans who are annoyed that Americans frequently (wrongly) think that only Canada and the US are "North America".

"We actually have a cure for blood cancer now, by the way. Like, we’ve done it."

Proceeds to link to a highly experimental and complicated treatment that was only tested in vitro and in mice. Yes, it is plausible that it could work in humans, but further clinical trials are absolutely needed.

I don't trust the author's judgment if he can look at something like that and label what he sees "we have a cure for blood cancer now".

If the author is so incapable of seeing and understanding finer details, I am not suprised by the angry and frustrated tone of his article.

Yeah, there is a lot of inefficiencies in current systems, often result of lobbying of special interest groups. No doubt about that. But a hypothetical author's autocracy would likely look much worse. For a smart person, he is way too gung-ho about what needs to be done.
Unfortunately in Edmonton, the LRT is largely on the honour system. There are no fare gates, turnstiles, etc, to derive an accurate count from. Any passenger counts presumably come from statistical sampling or from checking fares as they exit the system (this is an occasional enforcement activity, not an everyday occurrence).

There is a pilot project[0] to put turnstiles/gates at two stations, but this is to keep the homeless out of the stations, not to count passengers.

I worked in software in a domain vaguely related to ATC, and I've heard a few years ago that even sampling the voice commands (and routing them as VoIP) is problematic , as altering the signal through sampling and encoding can go against regulations. I don't remember the details though.

It was in a project related to ATC and area control / FIR services backup systems.
It allows me to remove websites from the results. That’s already one of the main selling points for me.
How do you distinguish this from, say, the US which runs a trade deficit of around $1 trillion?

Is your problem with Isle of Man the specific industries or businesses that drive revenue there, or the siphoning off of money/labor from other places?
Over 50%, sure, but 50% of a very small number. How many deaths do you expect keeping passengers from being distracted at these times would prevent?

(I expect if you compare that to the number of people inconvenienced by the rule it's a terrible trade off.)
> The ATC computer should talk to the plane computer.

Not as simple:

1) You need to implement it for very small airplanes too, which is far from easy. In the Linate air disaster a small Cessna Citation invaded the runtime due to fog and misscomunication.

2) You need to implement it for ground vehicles too, as in the LATAM example it was a fire truck that invaded the runtime.

3) You need A LOT of infrastructural update.

4) Even if you had computers talking to computers, this may still be far from enough to avoid collisions, as those mistakes are often a matter of seconds (as in the both accidents quoted before).

5) Automation brings its own issues. One of them is complacency where attention levels unavoidably get lower as reliance on automation increases. In turn complacency can make runways more prone to such incidents in case of malfunctions/bugs.
Can't say I saw anyone thinking programmers would be obsolete by 2024...
There’s nothing preventing airplanes from knowing the coordinates of every runway in the world and working out the truth using GPS though.
That's not really the case. For example Airbus has a giant codebase all written in C. It's never going to be rewritten. Instead they apply many tools to it including formals proofs (of both the code and the toolchain). They work closely with the relevant regulators.

I'm actually more confident in that process than I would be of some insane plan to rewrite it all in Rust - which would take forever and Rust doesn't have any of the tooling, formally proven compilers, a language specification, more than one implementation, etc etc.

People really don't know what they're talking about when they claim C codebases will be rewritten or will "have to be rewritten" because of "regulations", when the regulators are on top of this stuff already.
I am far from an expert but I think optimizing for profit/productivity and relying on a combination of insurance, trade and savings to reduce risk is one of the big productivity boosts in the last few hundreds years.
I specified an (FDIC insured) bank's role "in transmitting and keeping an account of money". There would be nothing stopping a lender from lending if the US government gets rid of FDIC insurance and just provides the people of the US electronic money accounts directly.

Assuming (1) the replacement is a better solution, and (2) it is feasible to retrofit every aircraft in the world and switch everyone over to it.

It's 90% notation.
I don't think it's misleading, and the responses of exactly how much code you can get away with is IMO missing the point.

The point is not about the total stack size or anything of the sort, it's that they didn't require much new stuff to be built. They're tools that can answer questions, role play, translate, write code and more and the architecture isn't a huge new system. It's not "First we do this, then we encode like this, then we perform a graph search, then we rank, then we decide which subsystem to start, then we start the custom planner, then a custom iteration over..."

It's not a large, unique thing only one group knows how to make.

You would need to introduce an equilibrium encouraging money system and prevent the extraction of land rents. Those things are never going to happen, because they are too obvious of a solution.

The current money system heavily discourages equilibrium formation, which allows disequilibria like the geographical concentration of money to occur, which in turn make it harder to earn money outside of large city hubs with expensive real estate. It is not possible for these homeless people to move away and earn a living on their own, because it would mean distancing themselves from where the jobs are moving towards. However, even if you make jobs available outside of expensive locations, there are still going to be people who need to live in the expensive location for whatever non job related reason. Those still need a solution to densify the existing location so more people can live there. That is why you need to prevent land owners from extracting benefits created by the collective surrounded the plot of land.

Again, the solution is too obvious for anyone to care about it. We can't demonize people, we can only demonize their ability to do bad things and set the incentives up in such a way that "greedy" people and "morally good" people do the same thing.

If you wanted the same answer in short: Demurrage currencies and land value taxes. Too simple to be believable.

This is a negative outcome of the Town and Country Planning Act. We've mandated by law that all planning is done upfront and due to the possibility of construction fraud provide detailed designs to building contractors that disallow them from substituting any materials or design choices without it being explicitly requested by the employer. In theory, there can be conversation between individual subcontractors and the project managers or architects, but in practice these are not always on site at the same time and there are significant costs involved in changes as well as issues with trust. Therefore, we effectively have a very expensive waterfall process that everybody is legally obligated to follow.
