Also, I feel there is an inherent flaw in democracy that hasn't become obvious until we became hyper-connected. Or rather it's the combination of democracy and nation state. The US is the most obvious example of this but I bet that India has a lot of the same issues, i.e. that their citizens have lives and worldviews so disparate that they really maybe shouldn't be the same country.
At some point borders were drawn on the circumference of control, right? Whatever a central government could control, it called a country. And that was largely due to cultural factors, how willing the population was to be controlled (in reasonably modern times of course). But with the internet people are realizing that they really have less in common within the borders of a country than they previously thought.
Living in a European capital and speaking fluent English I probably have more in common, at least culturally/politically, with somebody living in Los Angeles than I do with somebody living in the countryside of my own country.
But me and the that person in the countryside vote in the same elections.
Nope. You want to live in a society, then you abide by that society's collectively decided rules. You're not the only one impacted by your decisions.

I think writers as a whole are far less inclined to concern themselves with market fit than many developers are.

Short stories haven’t historically been very lucrative relative to longer works. Although there were some genres, eg SF, where they were a natural entry point.
I setup several folks over the years with Linux on their laptops. Usually after they ended up with malware or other oddities on their Windows computers multiple times. I would always ask them what they do on their computers, usually it was 99% web. I would never hear from these people until they wanted to buy a new computer. Prior to that I felt like I was looking at some issue every 6 months or so. All the Linux desktops are pretty nice now, and actually have been for a quite a while if all the person is doing is web stuff. Firefox or Chrome looks the same to the average person no matter what operating system they are using.

The other thing worth mentioning is well, the computers will almost always perform better with a Linux distribution over a bloated Windows install.

Virtually no (offline) stores sell devices with Linux. Being downloadable doesn't imply compatibility with all hardware in the world.
Sounds like a skill issue. Paris made itself bikeable pretty quickly.

As for disabled: improvements to walkability and bikeability are also improvements to disabled accessibility in almost all cases. Not all disabilities are visible, and some even preclude driving at all. And when car parking is a hard requirement, there are dedicated disabled-parking zones.

EDIT: "X was built for walkability but Y was built for the car" you always hear this but it's just a lazy BS excuse not to do anything or think critically about the built environment. many of the cities people tout as "obviously this was built to be walkable" used to be clogged with cars (including Paris). it has wide boulevards! and many cities people think "oh this is obviously built for cars so we shouldn't bother" used to be totally walkable and had world-beating public transport (Los Angeles). it's ahistorical, learned helplessness, never backed by any rigorous comparisons, just vibes.
Do you just eye it up, or run a profiler to narrow down where the hot spots are?
Hot take: they would pass any given variant of the Turing test if you specifically trained them to.

The Turing test says more about the human participant than it does about the challenger. Humans, even smart ones, are easy to fool.
React is great when you absolutely need state management on the frontend, but is overkill for the vast majority of frontend components to the point I would say it basically doubles the time to create a SPA. I wish I could just import it for one-off components and use traditional HTML rendered by the server for everything else.
Raising the price would just extract more value for the owners from a very limited resource. But the resource stays just as limited.

If you have 200 cars and 50 parking spaces there's no price point at which the 200 cars can park simultaneously. The overflow ends up clogging the surrounding neighborhoods, on top of the outcome described by OP.

Edit. @pc86, both points you make are valid but neither addresses or fixes the problem being discussed. They are an interesting, albeit completely parallel discussion.
> The “let’s make life shittier for people so they’ll do the things I think are right” is bad politics and bad policy.

So do you propose we lift all bans on drunk driving as to make life slightly more enjoyable for a subset of society?

At some level all laws trade off “making life shittier” for some to “make life better” for society. You can argue against particular laws but categorically being against it reduces your argument as asking for anarchism.
That’s framing “getting out of a local optima” in the most negative terminology. Guess everyone should stay stuck in the local optima and not even attempt to find a better one or global one.
That’s an oft-quoted aphorism, but it’s not always true. Sometimes, the piece of crap you’ve just deployed becomes somebody else’s support and maintenance nightmare. With a bit more care, it could be avoided. Other times, the piece of crap was just what was needed, nothing more.

It’s important to think about the right solution, and it’s also important to know when and why you’re putting something into production. Golden mean and all that.

I was surprised to see in the paper that they appear to ask for an answer to a multiple-choice question, and only after getting the answer to the multiple-choice question do they ask the model for an explanation. The model will do much better if you ask it to explain its reasoning before it produces its answer to the multiple-choice question.

The reason this works is it puts the reasoning into the context window. Transformers pay attention to everything in the context window and having a rationale sitting there - even if the model generates the rationale - helps the model do a better job of issuing the correct multiple choice answer.

> Nothing changes overnight but it allows for denser development esp. around existing public transit lines.

The problem is there a barely any decent "existing public transit lines" in Austin. Existing public transit line, singular, perhaps, and in a decade or so we'll get some more. In the meantime it just means traffic gets much shittier with no real alternatives.
>But really, your whole life is sustained by providers driving. Taxes in the city comes from humans being able to physically move their bodies to the right location.

To summarize a common counter to this doomerism.

You cannot control an entire country and its people with tanks, jets, battleships and drone or any of these things you believe trump's citizen ownership of firearms.

A fighter jet, tank, drone, battleship or whatever cannot stand on street corners. And enforce "no assembly" edicts. A fighter jet cannot kick down your door at 3am and search your house for contraband.

None of these things can maintain the needed police state to completely subjugate and enslave the people of a nation. Those weapons are for decimating, flattening and glassing large areas and many people at once and fighting other state militaries. The government does not want to kill all of its people and blow up its own infrastructure. These are the very things they need to be tyrants in the first place. If they decided to turn everything outside of Washington DC into glowing green glass they would be the absolute rulers of a big, worthless, radioactive pile of [excrement].

Police are needed to maintain a police state, boots on the ground. And no matter how many police you have on the ground they will always be vastly outnumbered by civilians which is why is a police state it is vital that your police have automatic weapons while civilians are unarmed.

BUT when every random pedestrian could have a Glock in their waistband and every random homeowner an AR-15 all of that goes out of the window because now the police are outnumbered and face the reality of bullets coming back at them.

If you want living examples of this look at every insurgency that the US military has tried to destroy. They're all still kicking with nothing but AK-47s, pick-up trucks and improvised explosives because these big weapons you talk about are useless for dealing with them. And the US wouldn't be dealing with one major insurgency it'd be dealing with hundreds spread across thousands of miles with different demands, motivations and M.O.s.

With the right small neural network architecture you could probably just repeat random weight initialization until you find one that works. This is known to work for some of the Atari games. The trick is, of course, to engineer a good input encoding and to find the right model complexity and architecture in the first place.

You know what's an even easier way to call "document.createElement"?

$.append

Sure, there's a reason why people moved away from JQuery, but I'm not convinced that a half dozen lines of boilerplate per element is a good solution either.

The example almost reads like a parody, here's a half dozen lines to write what you could write in one line of raw html:

<div onClick="alert('Hello World')" style="{padding:100px;background:red}"></div>

But I guess I just don't get it, I don't understand the use case where you want to manipulate the DOM but don't want to do so directly through the DOM API. You also don't want the convenience of JQuery, nor want the composibility of react or similar components.

Somehow they think they've found a worthwhile middle ground between just calling the DOM API and using Jquery. I don't agree that targetting that is a worthwhile endeavour. It's almost avoiding the DOM API for the sake of it, and tying yourself to a library without many benefits.

p.s. Having had the concept of writing "Vanilla JS" hijacked by a library author, now writing "Raw JS" is too.

Any day now we can maybe expect a new "Libraryless" framework.
In the US there has been significant cutbacks in USDA programs like the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) that paid farmers to keep certain pieces of land fallow and to plant native plants and grasses to provide food and habitat for wildlife. These programs were popular with small farmers and ranchers as it gave them some guaranteed income each year, and allowed them to follow good practices like rotating crops etc. Many of these programs were created after the dust bowl to provided incentives for better land management practices. We've been seeing reduced investments in these kinds of programs over the last couple of decades with the most recent farm bill in 2023 being one of the worse cuts yet:

> I'm not really convinced of the counter argument, at least it Austin. Public transportation (or, basically any transportation) is notoriously bad in Austin, and for decades we've basically had the stance "if you don't build it, they won't come", but that hasn't quite worked out.

Well, since what you have been doing hasn't worked, maybe let's try the other tactic.
I'm not sure what you mean. Even with remote work, living in a high-density area offers advantages - the primary one (in my mind) being that you don't have to own a car.
What encourages me on this is that we just need a single instance to pan out. Just one. And I get the sense that we’re getting closer each year.
Until Anton Petrov does a video on this it isn't real.
Option A is not clearly better because it assumes you can actually completely get rid of the 1000 people.

I don't think we've seen much evidence of this.

If anything, I do believe I've seen evidence that option B is more realistic and doable.

It always baffles me though, how people pick what they believe in with zero supporting evidence, just because it sounds better... with zero context.
The second you'd take up arms against the government you'd be labeled a terrorist and taken out with a drone. Being a counterweight against the government only works if you have the same arms as the government.
It's fun to play. Thanks for sharing. One suggestion: I thought I had 4 attempts to get it right, but I was actually just tweaking the original 30 character prompt. It was too late when I saw the small text over the text box describing the process. Maybe instead of "attempt" you could call them "tweak"s or "adjustment"s. Something like: "You start with an initial prompt and 3 adjustments."
> "Austin has developed as a low density city without adequate mass transportation system," said resident Malcolm Yeatts. "Austin citizens cannot give up their cars. Eliminating adequate parking for residents will only increase the flight of the middle class and businesses to the suburbs."

I think this is likely to happen. Also, as a potential customer, when I look at a business, if I see that the parking is going to be a hassle, I will pick another location even if it means it is further away. So this has potential to make the business situation worse as well.
> I assume you'd deliver fuel to the Japanese Empire until they directly attacked you

Japan attacked because they were running out of fuel and had to act quickly (either strike, or back down in China which they didn't want to). Without an embargo, they would have just continued their war in China.
The comment just said, that the function of N that gives the number of parking spots (really it's just going to be a proportionality factor) is "set nearly randomly". Nothing in your comment counters that assertion. Which I personally don't find implausible (although that is without any exposure to the decision process in Austin in particular)
I don't think the tradeoffs really work that away, especially given how many succesful snake species have no venom at all. Biological traits are too conplicated and contextual to boil down to a single stat.
Yes, it's an example of not letting perfection get in the way of good. They made something accessible, and the finer details got worked out later.
Parking, Roads, Gasoline, Pollution, etc... We so heavily subsidize people's cars for no reason. For the cost of all of it we could have free healthcare and amazing public transportation then lower taxes with the left over money.
No. I think the actual answer is "real-life SEO."

Say you have a Mexican restaurant in NYC. There must be hundreds of them, right? But imagine that someone in NYC googles "Mexican restaurant," and your restaurant is the first search result that comes up. That's worth a lot of money.

Self-publishing is like opening your own restaurant, while being published by a major publisher is like being on the first page of Google. When, say, CNN wants someone to be a panel expert, they might call you. You can get invited to conferences on the strength of that credential, and then build up to greater opportunities from there. In essence you've been socially validated.

That's worth quite a lot of money, though it's up to you if it's worth the cost. If you didn't have any fame going in, then I think it will be.

Nobody has to look at the code to violate the GPL though. An acccidental identical implementation or one spewed out by an LLM counts as a simple translation would largely place the new code under GPL at a technical level. I don’t see the point really for not simply adding rust to enhance a fork of gnu binutils, except for the license change, and the license change is super hard to defend in the long term future when it will be easy to identify translations of the original code.
> the issue in the US is on the demand side. People here hardly read,

I got back into reading, but its been an effort. Books are big and expensive, my library actually doesn't have stuff available often so I'm always on a wait list. Its hard tough to find time let alone quiet time to focus on a book. So many distractions around, roommates, city noise, neighbors making noise.
I don’t think your impressions are entirely off-base here. If the author is so bad at judging the quality of the cover art (or, for me, the typesetting) I think it’s possible that it suggests a similar lack of judgement of quality for the writing (or, perhaps, editing) itself.

"Let's keep doing the same thing that doesn't work and complain when anyone decides to try something else".
Despite the "i386" name I don't think contemporary OpenBSD will work on a real 80386 or 80486 system. The supported hardware is described as: "All CPUs compatible with the Intel Pentium or later, with Intel-compatible hardware floating point support should work."

There is also a note: "Due to the increased usage of OpenBSD/amd64, as well as the age and practicality of most i386 hardware, only easy and critical security fixes are backported to i386. The project has more important things to focus on."

I would guess they are not too far from dropping support entirely, but as I understand it that all depends on whether there are any developers interested in still working on it. The OpenBSD developers build the OS for themselves. They make it freely available to anyone who finds it useful, but they do not really build it for "the users."
I should be for every n sq ft contribute a parking space or $$$ to mass transit. Otherwise people still need a car and live a miserable life of shuffling their cars around, taking public spots that should be reserved for commerce or occasional use, like guests, not permanent parking.
You are being selectively pedantic; a hallmark of bad faith engagement.

Looks cool! I've been wanting to set up an e-ink display with my HomeAssistant, so I'll be checking this out.

In your "Why FrameOS" post, you have a photo that looks like an e-ink display displaying a HomeAssistant dashboard, and under it you say "However the software side of things was rubbish." What exactly were the issues you had before writing FrameOS? It looks like it's working great in the picture at least!

I'm also curious what this actually means:

> GPT4 Support: Ask your favourite LLM to write and debug FrameOS apps for you.
> Neighbors keying each others cars for taking up a space for too long.

People need to stop being shitty to each other.

> Without readily available and reliable public transportation this is just lining developers pockets (because fewer parking spaces needed means more units they can build).

I don't think this is fair. Fewer parking spaces might mean higher profits for developers on a per-unit basis, but I'd rather them make money and provide more additional housing units that are sorely needed, especially in cities, than build apartment complexes with garages or parking which then necessitate higher taxes and more public spending to support roads, car crashes, and other related externalities.

"But public transit costs money too" yes, just redirect state highway department budgets to transit 1-1 and then you're not spending any more and getting higher ROI.
Sorry dude, but assuming that you ship a product using a precompiled GNU coreutils, you're operating under GPL.

The license states the following[0]:

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

If you're using it under your organization, you don't need to ship anything, but if you're shipping something with it, then you must.

The same applies if you're hosting a SaaS with AGPL license.

Sorry, but I'm too old for this FUD thing. I neither have the motivation, nor the desire, nor the reason to do it.
