You don't know that though.

And there's evidence to the contrary. If you look at the career choices of women, to pick one contentious social issue at random, they tend to be different than the career choices of men, even in countries with a long history of gender equality.

So if I ask ChatGPT to make me a picture of trash collectors or fishermen, it shouldn't rewrite my query to force x% of them to be women.

That's the great irony of Apple trying to make AR work as a monitor replacement, their existing users will be some of the hardest to please in terms of resolution since they've been spoiled by retina displays as standard on every Mac for the last decade.
I don't think the issue has risen to the level where such a step is warranted. But a good solution if it continues to trend upward.
Prop 13 restricts reassessments for commercial properties, too. Ultimately, the fundamental calculus is similar in that commercial development is deemed to be better for city finances, but the difference is much smaller than if commercial properties weren't part of Prop 13.[1] And perhaps the difference disappears or inverts in urban contexts. Suburban services aren't financially viable long-term even for commercial zones, but that's not true in dense, urban areas where inviting people to live can definitely have a positive RoI long-term.

The reason urban areas, especially coastal cities, don't permit more housing has more to do with NIMBYism and, more recently, leftist politics that sees all private and even much public development as evil--because so-called gentrification, because money changes hands, etc.

[1] Note that the way schools are organized and funded in California means there's less local disincentive stemming from the need to fund schools than might exist elsewhere. I'm not familiar with the numbers, but if you're a municipality looking to keep tax money flowing through your area as opposed to being redistributed elsewhere, I wouldn't be surprised if public schools are a net win.
Expecting a billion people to individually do their research and make the correct decision for the greater good is not a very effective way to address collective action problems. When the market isn't pricing in externalities correctly governments should step in to correct the situation.

In the case of EVs they have. Western governments are spending piles of money to support EV adoption. Those subsidies help, but there are still significant drawbacks with the vehicles that make them a tough sell for many people.
I skimmed your little heterodoxy. I don’t see how that applies to my argument. I guess the “Prussian” model was quite anarchic and freeing? I’m not some Khan Academy, tech-optimistic, gadgets-will-solve everything type that your article seems to be arguing against.
There was a bit of a coup against one of the branches of government on Feb 2014, it's odd that it's missing from your timeline, given that it kind of precipitated everything else that followed.

But perhaps that's how you think democracies work - when you don't like the government, you bring your friends to wear funny hats and storm the capitol, and get a new one... Should Americans do that the next time an unpopular politician ends up heading the executive? It certainly speeds up the transfer of power, even if it drops the 'peaceful' aspect of it...
Yes, there's more to a car than range and charging speeds, but that doesn't change the fact that Tesla makes some of the best selling EVs and that Toyota doesn't.

Even if you care more about build quality and comfort, there are cars from VW, Audi, Hyundai, Mercedes, etc, that are better than, say, the Toyota bZ4X while having better range and charging. Toyota simply doesn't make the best pure electric cars.
> it is merely about enforcing existing anti-monopoly laws

It's never ever that simple in politics, and this is about a new law (Digital Markets Act). Ask yourself:

- How were all the terms in the Digital Markets Act determined?

- Which players or initiatives were able to scoot by unnoticed (e.g. Chrome's grip on web standards)?

- What is the interpretation of what constitutes a gatekeeper? (note: its actually 'gatekeeper' not monopoly we're talking about).

- Who will decide whether Apple's changes are in compliance?

It can be true that their aims are generally to have more fairness in the market, but there's always going to be other factors at play in this kind of legislation. Note that the DMA was written in a way that allowed Europe-based Spotify and Booking.com to avoid being labeled gatekeepers.
>I avoid FB Marketplace like the plague. Just seems like a great place to get scammed

There are scams but I think they are avoidable.

My next door neighbor has spent many thousands of dollars on FB Marketplace and has never been scammed. He buys tools and construction supplies and equipment. Usually gets the stuff 90%+ off retail price and sometimes free.

I think the key is dealing in person.
I had an eBay sell once for an expensive camera and the buyer asked if I could change into pickup and have a relative pick it up. Was suuuuuuuper sus but because it was local and paid through eBay I figured sure let’s see where it goes. Went totally fine. Had the person sign a an invoice not that it would do anything on the eBay front.

Scammers know it’s hard to judge sometimes. Heck there’s always the risk someone just comes and runs off without paying.

Now on marketplace I say cash only in person in public and when the person shows up then I offer Zelle or cash whatever. That seems to have stopped most of the automatic scam attempts.
> I will say that the most issues I’ve encountered with Python happened on macOS machines.

Same here. It's probably somewhat to do with my only partial MacOS/Homebrew knowledge, but every time I'd ressurect a Python project on MacOS, Homebrew would end up screwing up / confusing / munging the system Python and it's own ones.

Never ran into problems like that on Linux (except for that one time I tried Linux homebrew). Just something about the way homebrew does stuff seems incompatible with me understanding it. Seems to be a "just me" thing though.
Bear in mind, I'm pro alternative energy, I'm a major advocate for nuclear - because once all of fossil fuels externalities are priced in - its very attractive pricing wise.

But fossil fuels are not going anywhere, and no one (but me) seems to have any great appetite for nuclear construction.

So we all know what we're talking about, but the terminology is actually messy because ChromeOS is a GNU/Linux system; AFAIK it's using GNU coreutils, glibc, and a fair bit of other software pulled straight from the packages provided by gentoo (from which ChromeOS derives). This is a notable contrast to Android, which indeed replaced coreutils with busybox and then toybox, and uses its own bionic libc and custom userland.

I tentatively lean towards calling it "desktop Linux", or perhaps "user-controlled Linux" since that's rather the important part.

Of course "her" taxes will have to be high, because OBVIOUSLY Elon needs another trillion$!!

This argument is an analogue of the argument that: "it's not the 3 people that own as much as 1/2 of the US population, its THOSE people living 6 people in a van that are stealing your middle class prosperity"

If you're really worried about being "replaced", maybe you should worry about the wealth of 50M people being replaced by 1 person...

Worse yet, Moore's law was basically an automatic monopoly for anybody that had a much more productive R&D than the others. But we are only noticing the gains now, that the law is gone for years already.

> the graph you have referred to shows the total number of owner occupied homes - not the proportion

Hm, yes, you're right, I was misreading the y axis.

"Resides" generally means principal residence, which excludes second homes. However, it would be nice if the site would clarify that.
There is a huge difference between my laptop and my desktop in using VS Code with a few basic plugins. The difference of the hardware between the 2 machines is mostly CPU and SSD performance, the SSD makes a big impact opening projects with many small files, but the CPU is used for IntelliSense or even when you copy/paste a few thousands of LOC from one file to another (laptop fan gets to max for tens of seconds).

This is the biggest difference I see today. In the previous generation it was a huge boost in everything just becauase the old CPU was really old. I also keep CPUs 5 years or more.
Part of your complaint is probably related to his style. Neuromancer was his first novel, and his style, while remaining distinctive, has improved substantially over the years. You may like it better in the The Bigend Trilogy: Pattern Recognition, Spook Country, Zero History: all vintage, recognizable Gibson, but not actually science fiction, and very much in tune with the world post-9/11. As much as I love all of Gibson, those three are my favorites, especially the first.

Dividing his books into "trilogies" is a little misleading; they all happen in the same shared universe and some common characters, but don't have deeply connected stories. Give Pattern Recognition a try, and see if 20 years makes a difference to you. (If you like audiobooks, Pattern Recognition is a gem, with almost the perfect fusion between story and narrator.)
In C++, how do I declare a class? Should I put a ; after declaring it? And when creating a closure, what exactly &, = mean? When should I use std::cout and when not, and why? What exactly is the syntax for inheritance?

Ok, you can learn all that while using the language, but a card deck allows me to review it 5 minutes before sleeping.
To boost credit rating. When you have none credits, your credit rating is ZERO, and it is considered bad. So you could pay for example 10$ (yes, small amount) from zero percent credit, and regularly pay it and this will effectively raise credit rating.

I doubt anyone cares if you asked ChatGPT to create a picture of a basketball player and it returned an image of an asian player.

The point of the effort is the new language. Hosting and the rest are added on top of it. So yes, if you just want to host some code you shouldn't be rewriting all of it in Unison. But if you are already a user of the language then this is a good framework for you.

Disappointing that more analysis isn't put into the lense effect on PPD.

SimulaVR (a competitor) has an extremely good blogpost about this [1] where they argue that the PPD in the central 30 degrees is far more important than the average PPD over the whole headset (because you very rarely turn your eyes more than 15 degrees off center, and your eyes have the highest resolution right in front of them), justifying the same sort of lenses that Apple appears to be using. They claim that this allows them to reallocate pixels for ~45% higher "foveal PPD" than would otherwise be expected.

I'm seeing some pretty surprising claims in this thread about, "I prefer reviewing larger PRs," and, "Teams that make larger PRs go more quickly." That all seems like rubbish to me. I've seen data indicating smaller PRs having lower error rates and such and then we have this article with data recommending a 50 line PR size. I've *never* seen data show large PRs are better except for some developers saying, "I prefer it that way."

Anyways, I don't so much care about the size of a PR as much as I care about how understandable it is. That generally ends up being a few rules of thumb like:

1. If you change a common function name, change it everywhere but please don't do anything else in the same commit.

2. If you need to make a change in code you are depending on to accomplish a goal in your own code, try to break the change to the dependency into another commit. There is a little bit of an art here to both understand how to break things up and to not break them up too small.

3. Try to make your history meaningful rather than just having a bunch of random commits like "fix", "forgotten file", etc.

If I have an artificial limb, I'd like to have more storage space. Human bodies try to keep crevices to a minimum since they are points of attack by pathogens and parasites. An artificial limb doesn't have to survive to see my grandkids.

There's also no reason a prosthetic limb has to constrain itself to human standard dimensions. Oh I'm sure for propriety and interpersonal dynamics they need a default mode that looks quite similar, but an arm could telescope to give you a few extra inches of reach.

And I've already seen science fiction where a prosthetic hand has nine, ten fingers instead of 5, to facilitate human computer interaction. Though one does wonder, if the brain is capable of controlling a machine hand with higher numbers of digits, can we not skip over the two middle steps in brain-computer-input-computer translation and simply imagine you're typing on a 150 key keyboard that isn't really there? Or at least switch to a virtual hand that the computer uses to intercept the motor commands to the physical hand.
Thank you for your great job!

> that is fundamentally without empathy

Empathy, as you imagine it, doesn't exist. You're not feeling empathy, you're trying to feel righteous indignation. At me. It makes you feel like a good person. While I don't doubt that true empathy exists, it is a rare experience for most humans, a couple times in a lifetime sort of thing. It doesn't occur because you saw a headline on a newspaper or saw a talking head on CNN. You can't ever have empathy for the hypothetical... "I have empathy for prisoners!" isn't empathy. You can't even name them and never knew them. You've never been in the same room with them.

But, that's sort of the schtick, isn't it? Weaponizing emotions. You see fear where none exists (anyone who disapproves of something is x-phobic). Hell, sometimes that's "hate" even. You feel empathy without empathizing with anyone specific. You claim joy for things you're not joyful for so that it doesn't undermine your team's strategy. It's pretty pathetic.

> That is basically textbook psychopathy.

I love hacker news - I missed this a few days ago. You’re the first human I’ve talked to about these ideas I’ve been obsessing over for months, so it feels good to get some feedback!

I’ll definitely have to look more into that. I guess my conception of Hegel has room for such “looping” — Kant explicitly says that high-level Reason produces ideas that directly impact the nature of our low-level Understanding, and I sorta assumed Hegel would agree. He’s obviously much more into the Synthesis as a means-onto-itself, not to mention much more dramatic, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the last chapters of PoS made no mention of the lower faculties.

Thanks again, if you ever scroll back through your old comments and see this :). A helpful response indeed
You're confused. Vision Pro is a true AR/MR device. It uses AR passthrough. A lot of people for a long time have assumed there's some inherent reason people would never accept passthrough AR devices. A few people like myself have been consistent saying that's not the case, that passthrough AR is actually the right solution. Vision Pro is just the first version of what I expect to be a long line of passthrough AR devices from Apple.

That pic of a car's console saying "update failed, your car cannot be driven" has completely turned me away from even considering an EV for a few more years.
I have the same feeling as the author about podcasts, and i'm particularly interested in the podcast ad model. While i despise exposure to advertising, I find myself not minding podcast adverts quite as much. There is also a much greater chance that the podcaster will only accept ads that their audience would be plausibly interested in and that are not outright scams (contrasting greatly with big tech-controlled ads). On top of this, you can still simply just skip the ads if you want by fast-forwarding.

I think that the key to this model working is that the podcasters are not (necessarily) reliant on big tech. On twitch and youtube streams for instance, algorithmic ads are used mainly to reimburse amazon/google for their hosting services (+ a significant profit). Since a podcast is small in size and does not need to be streamed on-demand, hosting costs are negligible. It seems like this model could also be effective for websites, but it requires an actual human to find and vet advertisers. I'm not sure what the solution could be for sites like youtube where self-hosting content is a much higher barrier to most content creators.
Sure, and at the same time a PR can contain multiple commits. You don't have to squash and merge.
