I guess I tend to think of "high-rise" as a synonym for skyscraper. Something in the neighborhood of 10+ stories. I'm fairly certain that Columbus at least doesn't have many residential buildings that high outside of its downtown.

However, if we are counting 3 or so story apartments then there are definitely high-rises all over the place like you say.

Biodiesel can't be produced at scale without crops and farmland. Methanol can only be produced inexpensively using natural gas. I agree that if either of these fuels can be produced below the cost of ammonia produced using renewable energy, using renewable energy, they would be superior options for marine fuel.

A little under half of global marine traffic is moving energy around, which might be a contributing factor in fuel selection as traffic declines in the future due to renewables uptake globally.
Essentially handmade bikes cost 2-5x more than $1500 now. $150 will buy you a Wallmart piece of junk. A utility bike suitable for bombing around a city is going to cost somewhere around $1000. I own three that each have a > $2K replacement cost, even with me building the wheels and installing everything but the bottom bracket. Yep you can easily spend more than $1500 for a single speed bare bones bike, and the people that build them have waiting lists years long.
It might not be the best tool, but since I use it as a markdown editor, I also utilize it as a notes keeper with tags. In Bear, when you type #something, the hashtag immediately appears in the sidebar. I have many tags, including python, work, today, go, sql, and others.

The killer feature for me is the iCloud sync and the fantastic iOS app, allowing me to read and write notes on any device.
> I am a person. I am not a complex adaptive system. And yet I am.

Your adaptive system has a very complex model of the environment. You can model yourself as an agent in the environment, and you identify as parts of that agent. I say “parts,” because there is a ton of thinking and actions that your adaptive system performs which you do not identify as you.
Exploring the temporal hierarchy of Manna and Pnueli

I knew a guy whose daily routine was something like:

9:25 - Arrival (cafeteria stopped serving breakfast at 9:30.

9:30-10:15 - Breakfast

10:15-11:30 - A lot of walking around the office, having business-sounding conversations with others but really getting nothing done.

11:30-1:00 - Out for lunch.

1:00-3:00 - Sneak out to car in the parking lot for a nap.

3:00-3:30 - Daily standup. Vaguely talk about how he’s “merging code” or “updating library dependencies” this week.

3:30-4:00 - At desk working.

4:00-5:30 - Doing his walk-around-talk-arounds through the office hallways again.

5:30-6:00 - At his desk again!

6:00 - Cafeteria starts serving dinner. Grabs a bunch of food, throws it in his backpack, and heads to the parking lot.

This went on for years. The other teammates joked that he must have blackmail dirt on the boss because it was obvious to everyone that he wasn’t doing anything and nobody seemed to care. He was there when I joined the company and was there when I left, years later. He may very well be still there today, merging code.
Well I have ample personal experiences saying you’re wrong. I think you’re basing a hypothesis off of what you think is right, and not going deeper to confirm or deny it.
I can't see how you can shoulder the blame of (possible) failure of FOSS dream on developers. Devs (usually) don't control budgets and can't really ask for money to pay for freely licensed code. If blame is to be given then I'd point to money handlers for not acknowledging this situation.

Then there's the question of what I should be paying anyway. Who among all those non-free developers are paying in turn to all the professionals whose code they build on? Are proprietary developers somehow exempt from paying themselves? If and when I choose to pay I like to think all that contributed are getting the benefit.

There's a long line of professionals behind every code that should have been paid. Certain percentage might have tried to get paid. And even some who in fact did get paid.
I'll take environmentally responsible planned obsolescence over the current situation.

Nothing lasts. Durable plastic and metal goods become damaged or worn. What then? When repair, reuse, or recycling is not socioeconomically attractive, having some sort of naturally sustainable cycle would be nice, wouldn't it?

Even if I have to buy a new phone case every seven months, if it's part of a sustainable cycle that becomes quite economical due to the massive scale -- wouldn't that be better than maintaining the current production of long-lived plastics?

This strikes me as an example of capitalism learning something from biology.

Interesting, I found Semantic Merge [1] years ago but it was never open source.

This just does diff but not merge, but at least it's open source - and the diffs look a lot nicer, I've already made it my default.

Any plans to extend it to merging?

Find me a candidate that had any input on this Intel investment that campaigned on giving billions to Intel to onshore chip manufacturing.

Maybe they do exist, but I don't remember it coming up.

Also to clarify, local elections wouldn't have helped here. Congressional and presidential elections are a different beast, The Machine (reference to the University of Alabama) heavily influences elections and elected officials. I do vote, but I have little faith that such a massive and heavily funded political system allows my vote to count for more than winning a seat. I've been regularly disappointed by those I've voted for when they inevitably ignore or break promises they campaigned on and make decisions that often fly in the face of the very principles they originally claimed to stand for.
I think starting off with the impression of being a small wins person sticks, and people will think of you as "does small tasks well." No promos and whatnot.

Tbh, that's true for lots of things.

Personally, I spend about 2% of a projects time on kicad related stuff, and the rest on software development for the board.

Anything complex enough to require real knowledge and experience I'd rather hire a board and circuit designer.

Just to clarify, the “singularity” conjectures a slightly different and more interesting phenomenon, one driven by technological advances, true, but its definition was not those advances.

It was more the second derivative of future shock: technologies and culture that enabled and encouraged faster and faster change until the curve bent essentially vertical…asymptotimg to a mathematical singularity.

An example my he spoke of was that, close to the singularity, someone might found a corporation, develop a technology, make a profit from it, and then have it be obsolete by noon.

And because you can’t see the shape of the curve on the other side of such a singularity, people living on the other side of it would be incomprehensible to people on this side.

> There will not be another such a ridiculously good deal in the future.

What's the good deal here? More Ukrainians and Russians dead? A peace deal needs to be floated ASAP because the Russian economy is actually not in shambles despite sanctions so the war outcome (absent a peace deal) will be won by Russia unless NATO wants to fully engage.

As someone is not a fan of Russian expansion, I still see Ukraine funding as a proxy for feeding US defense contractors.
This seems like an appropriate place for the government to step in and price negative externalities in the form of taxes. Taxes are effective as bans but they better handle edge cases where plastic may still be required for whatever reason.
Show HN: Inbox.Dog – email to LLM model prototype
Launched a bare-bones prototype, Inbox.Dog, aiming to rethink B2B email with a sprinkle of AI—think of it as email, but with an AI-powered twist for tasks we haven't fully imagined yet.
It's rough around the edges (it literally could not be a simpler prototype), but I'm curious about its potential to evolve email beyond its current state.

Keen to explore how AI could make email a more powerful tool?

I'd love to hear your thoughts or see you give it a whirl by emailing hello@inbox.dog (or check out https://inbox.dog)

The fact that Trump and Biden are the two candidates we've been offered is a sign of a much more fundamental, and disappointing, problem.

I don't think anyone would agree that those two are the best candidates this country has to offer, and most people I've talked to about the election feel stuck picking between which one is less bad.
I’m almost not sure why tools like git don’t ship with this as default. Been using difft for about a year now, and my main complaint is that it makes it hard to go back and use other diff tools when I don’t have difft available :).

I am curious if there’s been any work on _semantic_ diff tools as well (for when eg the syntax changes but the meaning is the same). It seems like an intractable problem in the general but maybe it’s doable and/or useful for smaller DSLs or subsets of some languages?

GCP is struggling? Is that an opinion based on experience or based on actual stats? Because GCP revenue has increased every year since 2017. AWS and Azure are capturing more market share. But I’m not sure I consider third place and $33B in revenue last year a struggle.[1]

> I just don't think Sundar is the right person to do it

That was sort of my point. Does Google need to be turned around? All stock metrics and revenue metrics show that they are doing well as a company.

Sure the AI model stuff was embarrassing. But it doesn’t seem to be having an impact on the value of the company. Maybe goodwill was hurt. But if we’ve learned anything from the Meta drama over the years, people will be quick to forget about it. I don’t think a few fixable and public missteps like that will sink the company. Does anyone outside of tech even know about it? It’s possible it’s indicative of a larger internal issue thats brewing. But it’s not impacting the value of the company… yet at least.

I guess 'naming things' isn't just hard in CompSci.
The problem with that perspective is that there isn't a 'career ladder' here.

You don't volunteer for any position within the LDS church, you are 'called,' so if you happen to be pulled into the higher echelons, it isn't because you've followed your inner Wolf of Wall Street, but that your selfless service (i.e. no money or other reward) has been noticed and seen as a likely good candidate for even more selfless service of serving even more hours unrewarded.

There just aren't many people with a money or power motivated personality that would bother, and again, even if one had ambitions that way, there isn't a job application somewhere in the chain that gets you there.

Money in the Church is a spin-off of a highly educated membership (a large number of members, for instance, donate stock that they've gotten through work, and donate when it is at a much higher price than granted by their work,) with a large base in North America, that ended up with literally more money than they could spend based on their remit- that tithes goes to a narrow spectrum of possible uses. So they've ended up with a situation somewhat similar to the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth fund, where their rules of management of 'sacred' funds just starts adding upon itself faster and faster.

Charitable giving is supposed to come from a specific line item donation, Fast Offerings, and a very large amount of money does indeed go through that pipeline. There are a LOT of temples and chapels being built for the membership, and that has been made possible by the financial strength of the church, but it is a growing political problem that I will find it interesting how they deal with, but a much better problem than the near bankruptcy they had happen around the Great Depression that prompted a lot of the fiscal conservatism that ended up creating this situation.

The story of humanity can be summed up as: "what if we changed our environment without understanding it?" with both wonderful and wretched consequences.

The same fires that poison the air we breathe also power life saving medical equipment so that we can keep breathing.

Micro plastics, endocrine disrupters and more have been unleashed. I am sure their effects will prove to be less than positive on both humans and wildlife.

But in trying to snuff out the next great environmental crisis, will we account for the benefits we've derived from the use of these materials when we do our cost-benefit analysis? The effects on innovation?

A car theft ring sophisticated enough to solder is going to realize several things:

1) Flipper Zero = almost no effort and instant.

2) Cheap and plentiful USB SDR = slightly more effort, longer range, higher signal integrity, faster, works with anything that can do host USB.

3) Using a headphone jack and requiring some amount of electronics expertise for what is in the end going to be a very short range and cumbersome tool that requires a 3.5mm jack that isn't even present on many/most modern devices is practically a non-starter.

This is basically a sales and marketing video for car theft rings.

Nice, we are going macro now. This is often overlooked, if you did a lateral industry shift, you have to get conversant in the industry lingo asap, so don't forget the jargon and concepts. Most standard industries are well documented, even though the documentation may be less than stellar (I'm personally looking for IP industry material to binge on, nevertheless, because it's IP(intellectual property), they don't publish much training/guide material). I tend to do the book thing but on subreddits of the particular sector/industry, I think that browsing topics on reddit is the fastest way to get conversant and begin to absorb knowledge, or more specific, awareness of existence of knowledge.
Always good news to hear alternative being made possible, but it doesn't matter if none of the big industries are willing to make the change.
