All those countries had intense anti-natal campaigns by the government. They didn’t outright kill babies like China, but they persuaded two generations of people to closely link the idea of lower birth rates to development and civilization: https://www.firstthings.com/article/2023/05/anti-natal-engin...

This was supported by intense efforts from western countries to reduce birth rates in Asia. Family planning and contraception promotion is a key segment of USAID, for example.

> the real document won't have hash colliding artifacts in it

I don't think that hash colliding artifacts would necessarily be obvious. They could be in part of a file that ends up being ignored by parsers of the file format. Or it could be some low level noise in pixel values in scanned documents.

Using FDWs on a daily basis I fully realize their power and appeal but at this exclamation I paused and thought - is this really how we think today? That reading a CSV file directly is a cool feature, state of the art? Sure, FDWs are much more than that, but I would assume we could achieve much more with Machine Learning, and not even just the current wave of LLMs.

Why not have the machine consider the data it is currently seeing (type, even actual values), think about what end-to-end operation is required, how often it needs to be repeated, make a time estimate (then verify the estimate, change it for the next run if needed, keep a history for future needs), choose one of methods it has at its disposal (index autogeneration, conversion of raw data, denormalization, efficient allocation of memory hierarchy, ...). Yeah, I'm not focusing on this specific one billion rows challenge but rather what computers today should be able to do for us.
You can, but will it be the same result? :) binary floating point can't represent 0.1 or 0.2 exactly.

Ok, that makes sense. So 25kWh would be the "whole shebang" (winter tires, heating, etc, etc). That's actually decent.

If you are broke you can buy a normal car for $1000 or less, that can get you to work and back home. You can't afford to live where you can take public transit or a bicycle to work. Electric is simply not an option for the majority of people, it is a luxury. Until a worker can get an electric car for a couple of thousands, no scrapyard bonus will make any difference whatsoever. It's just more tax money subsidies for rich people.

>Until we manage to actually reduce the amount of cars. The solution for transportation is quite clearly less and smaller vehicles, all EVs.

That's called a motorcycle, although they're not electric. There's a few hundred million of them already in the world, and greater adaption of motorcycles where possible would be incredible for reduced traffic and reduced pollution. On top of that they are cheap, fuel efficient and fun to ride. But nobody will listen to the solution, because there is too much money to be made from the problem.
To me, Loos' argument comes across as some grand rationalisation for a simple difference in taste. I.e. "I don't like it, but to state my opinion as a fact, I came up with this story about efficiency"

But not really this. Many other parts of the world have much rarer house parties and much more done in restaurants with private rooms, etc being easy. Cultural norms and etiquette largely determines what we can enjoy and what is available, we aren't really following our own personal preferences most of the time.

In the case of many of these things there's an early outlay of a lot of money to then pretend the incremental costs is negligible where something with less actual costs might be a lot more enjoyable but is harder to disguise.

Just clarified this in the README:

* Input value ranges are as follows:

- Station name: non null UTF-8 string of min length 1 character and max length 100 characters

- Temperature value: non null double between -99.9 (inclusive) and 99.9 (inclusive), always with one fractional digit

* Implementations must not rely on specifics of a given data set, e.g. any valid station name as per the constraints above and any data distribution (number of measurements per station) must be supported

Good software doesn’t need constant updates or maintenance.

Personally I hate the culture of incremental updates, shipping halfbroken beta versions, bolting on security as last measure because who gives a fuck about dataleaks. Everyone trying to build an everything app and sucking up all the data they can get their hands on.

The sad thing is nowadays most software „engineers“ or product „managers“ can’t even imagine an alternative to this.

Write a program that does one thing well and you don’t need to constantly update it.

You actually just showed that turning unpolarized light into polarized light makes it more powerful by turning it into a laser. And you think I’m trolling?

Just like a laser, The beam from the satellite is concentrated and directed at an area that’s only 15 mi.².

If it was spread out like the suns rays were, there would not be enough concentrated power for the starlink satellite to pick up the signal.

It focuses the energy from the satellite into a single beam, you know, just like a laser!

From Flow to Business Agility
This would not happen overnight!

It would a slow process. Of course you will need still RISC-V support in current compilers for legacy software.

RISC-V is a modern "good enough" with "good balance" ISA, everything is about trade-off, hence "perfection" does not make any sense. What is really different with RISC-V: it is already there, moving forward, is worldwide PI lockfree (unlike x86_64 and arm). Ofc, without extremely performant implementations (micro-arch and silicium process), all over the board (server/mobile/workstation/"embedded") it will probably fail.

And I do believe we could get a very good middle ground with very high level language interpreters (python/lua/etc) directly coded in RISC-V assembly.

And I am thinking about RISC-V... as a computer language with some compilerS (not JIT). I may investigate how much out-of-the-box-thinking and disruptive this is, hopefully soon enough.
I agree they share elements, and that’s totally expected given their architectural style lineage.

> Sure, sales of EVs keep going up — a record 300,000 cars sold in the US in the third quarter of 2023 were electric — but the pace of adoption has markedly slowed

I feel that the headline subverts the lede somewhat. This is in line with most articles like this, where the big headline is a surprising/edgy “EVs are FAILING due to this ONE WEIRD THING” and the body of the article is “EV sales climb for the 15th consecutive quarter, but the quarter-on-quarter increase is slightly down on last quarter.”
Diesel or electric cars that already exist and aren't driven much are more eco friendly than building a new EV that isn't driven.

I actually had a pretty good time at a third-category place. When you're writing software for a non-tech company, it means your customers are very close - often in the same building, working at the same time. You can watch them use the software, hear complaints in real time, and push solutions very fast.

In my case, I might've been lucky, though. One of the co-founders had a CS degree and deeply valued the productivity boost we got from custom software.
The revolutionaries and people opening your eyes are loo lazy to setup and host their own blog. Plus some ad income is good too, to sustain their revolutionary writing.

For myself, someone who actually wants an electric car, a big part of the hesitation is that I'll have to basically give up my garage to our cars.

As is, it's basically a detached workspace - so my family having to park two cars in there makes an electric car a massive loss of usable square footage.

It would also likely mean having to rewire my garage which had an actual Fusebox from the 70s - a cost I'd love to avoid.

The argument has been proven false many times however. SiriusXM provides an ever worsening product with more and more sponsored stations showing up to replace their diminishing licensed library, Adobe continues to introduce bugs to their software because there's no incentive to fix anything if people are so deep into the ecosystem and have no way of going back to a more stable version, and Nest provides no local storage options for video because it denies them access to the data and doesn't allow them to put a barrier between you and the video files. Increasingly subscriptions are there so a company can do something once and coast for months or years afterwards. It continues the tradition of trying to get as much money for as little effort as possible.

Not forever, since Russia had been actively occupying the country, which is quite a long time, almost entire 20 century.

The official renaming happen earlier than 2022, and there is no city of Kiev officially. It’s Kyiv.

> the vast majority of drivers take occasional trips that are beyond the range of an electric car. [...] no one is concerned with the EV getting through their commute

In a prosperous society, the economic activity that you describe (daily commute, occasional trip) is important. Commuting keeps workers working, and trips are part of people's quality of life.

So let's agree with your point that consumers are choosing the type of vehicle that will meet all their needs.

At the same time, US car manufacturers know their business well and have not delivered small EVs or small hybrid vehicles because the manufacturers have chosen to aim at Tesla's demographic (i.e. rich and "spendy"). It's clear that physics absurdities like the F150 Lightning or the Dodge RAM "RAM charger" are also aiming at rich and spendy customers. US manufacturers are delivering "autobesity".

The daily commute is a dire source of pollution, though.[1a , 1b]

And the combustion engine is also having dire health effects on society, therefore economic effects. At scale, combustion engines are bad for the environment and bad for people. [2]

We can understand that a topologically large country or US state can't build extensive public transportation as easily as a small country. Trains and subways are expensive. Parking and roads are "easier" to build. But parking and roadways are more of the same problem at scale.

The estimated 100 million daily trips in combustion engines are responsible for a significant amount of pollution in the US, contributing to asthma, lung cancer, autism, and Alzheimer's disease. [3]

A right-sized selection of EVs and PHEVs would make a big difference to people's quality of life and economic prosperity. But maybe the message needs to be delivered better and more clearly.
