What's the most advanced node Intel is producing in the US right now in mass production?
From the experience of a few friends who've bought appartments these last years, two months would be the minimum here in France.
I think you have completely the wrong takeaway here...

The US population is around 330 million. The world population is 8.1 billion people. What is that 4%? If you took a random sampling of people around the world, none of them would be Americans. You're going to need a lot more samples to find a trend.

Yet when you turn around and look at success stories, a huge portion of this is going to occur in the US for multiple reasons, especially for the ability to attract intelligence from other parts of the globe and make it wealthy here.

The Tragic Race Condition
I would call that real inflation, as it's the market responding to an external event, even though that event is human-made.

Artificial inflation is what we had for the past three decades where even though resources were plentiful and things were getting less expensive to produce (eg offshoring, technology), prices were still going up a few percent per year because the Fed's mandate is to artificially create even more new money to prevent the deflation bogeyman. In other words "moving production to Mexico/China may cost us some jobs but will be made up for by lower prices for everyone" was ultimately a lie due to Fed policy making lower prices impossible.
This is a re-shoring of strategic capabilities not a labor move. The labor will most likely be imported as it doesn’t really exist in the US at the scale needed with an eventual eye towards more domestic labor. Expect large numbers of imported skilled labor in the short term.

I think the main argument they are making is that affordability is less a demand/supply issue and more a tax policy issue. Implication being: if you cap rental income, you'll see a fall in private landlords but not necessarily less housing stock than if there were no rent controls.

>I'm not sure what they're pointing to as the reason for housing prices if it's not supply and demand.

They are saying the uncapped rental market makes housing as an asset class extremely profitable i.e. simple supply & demand argument is not strong enough alone to be the only driver.
People also don't like it because it in effect means the government is competing against you for property using your own money.

I.e. if the government buys up 10% of the posh neighborhood to add cheap housing, the number of posh units goes down 10% and you paid for the taxes to make that happen.

So you're paying taxes to give someone else the thing you want, and make it harder for you to get that thing in the future. Then you hear about some corruption scandal where the government was overpaying...

I think American culture has a weird fetish for fairness. We'll do something that makes everyone worse off because at least it's distributed evenly. Admitting that success has a large luck component would mean admitting that the system isn't and cannot be made fair, and I just don't think that's an idea people can tolerate.

How does our justice system function if it admits that defendants in bad situations are there because they're unlucky instead of bad people? How do we justify income inequality if we admit those at the top were lucky and that it would be a different set of people in an alternate universe? Basically our whole society is built on the idea that the system is fair and everyone is where they deserve to be because of choices they've made.
Hey, I'm living in one of these cells in Germany. Hmm.
I'm reading Stanisław Lem's Fiasco at the moment (recommended to me from here) which is a sci-fi set sometime in the far future, probably at least 2500.

I'm enjoying it, but characters are constantly saying things like "imagine if people from 1950, or even 1990, saw our ships descend from the sky..." Dude, 500 years from now you think people are going to have a good idea of 1950 vs 1990?? And this is on top of other things, like every work of literature that characters reference is from the 20th c.
Many of the patches are not surprising, but why is a small area between Germany and Sweden jammed?

There's a flip side: you can focus all of your time on 'working hard' but never pay attention to how you're doing it.

In fitness this might be more like: you spend all your time jogging in terrible shoes, working "comfortably hard" and pushing through the pain.

Instead you could spend a few hours researching modern training approaches and running techniques and change the entire trajectory of what you could achieve as an athlete. You can change the focus of how you work, reduce wasted or ineffectual energy and put that into dedicated efforts that have maximal payoff.

This debate is as old as work itself though, and I'm probably not changing any minds here.
Ah yes, its right there in the 2nd post! Thanks for the correction.

So are you expecting agro-tech to be different somehow? Why? If they are a true "tech company" they will be expecting 10x-100x returns and have similar problems. If they aren't, then they won't "act a bit like tech companies".
I'm not fond of Intel, but I recently bought a laptop with an Intel CPU. I'm stuck with them for a few more years. My PC is already AMD-based, and I loved the new mobile CPUs from AMD, but they are either hardly available or in undesired packages (bulky gaming laptops).

I assume that they have great deals with laptop manufacturers. You can't find a Dell XPS with a Ryzen, for example. Ultrabooks are mainly Intel-based. The Framework laptop is not available everywhere yet.

It's the same frustration I had many years ago when I had to choose between a diesel car in stock and waiting 8 months or more for a gas one.

Major problem for me. I now have separate root (btrfs) and home (ext4) partitions.

Obsidian is free to use, and they make their money from offering additional sync-service and good will of the users. I don't think open source would impact it much. Though, it would bear the risk of a hostile fork, maybe to include a free to sync or something. I mean the obsidian-devs have some bad history on that front.

But at least they should give some guarantee to Open Source it if there were no significant update in a while, similar to how Qt and KDE have their agreement. Or at least they should make the source available, so people can contribute or move away easier in case of problems.
What is OpenAI today? Can you elaborate? Google is a varied $trillion company. OpenAI sells access to large generative models.

I'm not sure how you connect the first paragraph with the second.

> American culture doesn't like to think about how much of "success" is down to luck. [...] The idea of trying to make up for some of the luck factor by taking some from those with more and giving it to those with less is almost instinctively repugnant, even if it might lead to higher quality of life for everyone involved.

I don't find charitable giving repugnant. I donate myself, even when there is no tax benefit to be gained. I don't find conservative and prudently managed social safety nets repugnant either (by prudent, I have in mind social safety nets that are by design meant to help people get out of poverty, not become dependent on such a system by creating incentives to remain effectively poor). I also recognize that the common good does require more than just money (and I do recognize a common good, unlike weird, sociopathic hyperindividualists). And in times of crisis, I recognize that a rigid notion of private property is opposed to the common good; private property exists, after all, for the sake of the common good. If I had a warehouse of food during a famine, I would not view people taking amounts of food from that warehouse to allow them to survive as theft.

What I do find repugnant is what seems like the insinuation that my luck somehow means that others are entitled to what I have received through luck[0], and that my claim to such wealth is suspect. If I win the lottery, the notion that there is something unclean about receiving that wealth or bequeathing it to my children, because I was lucky, and others weren't, or else I'm a bad person, is preposterous. It reeks of envy. So, unless I've earned something, others can just take it? I have no right to it? But they have a right to it? Unless I've earned something, I must feel insecure about having it? No, actually. If I have received something through luck, through gift, through merit, and I have done so without criminality, it is mine.

Now, if I did win the lottery, I would certainly give to charity. And if a competent state taxed me in a reasonable way to fund programs that genuine help lift the poor out of poverty, I have no issue in principle. And I would claim, that those who have surplus wealth beyond what is needed to fully support themselves and their families do well to use that surplus to aid the poor (the poor, mind you, not those who can make it on their own). I simply reject the notion that others can or should force me to do so. And when I have the freedom to decide on my own, I have the freedom to allocate money prudently.

I don't think you're making the connection between financial stress and unhappiness. Decades ago, price to wages were very favorable. Now, they are not, causing financial stress across cohorts without much earning or purchasing power, leading to unhappiness. Food costs are component, but not the entire picture.
I think one of the most underrated pieces of software in modern history. Absolutely brilliant. Huge fan. I am glad to see it getting love. I’ve moved on from data science in a professional capacity but for some pet projects of mine it has been indispensable. I think managing the namespace was one non trivial concern (which may be resolved in modern versions). Otherwise very well built for data science applications. Interesting that it didn’t catch on for LLM training - I think a missed opportunity.

> A tiny mountainous country that was twice in the middle of disastrous wars in the last century, has practically no raw materials... and would be in the middle of the US GDP PPP-wise, which has a much bigger market, a lot more workers, a lot of raw materials, etc etc etc etc.

Austria got screwed by WWII for sure, but it still had a literate, educated, relatively wealthy population and was once the center of a great empire that amassed great wealth. And, I mean, Vienna was practically the cultural center of Europe for a brief period.

> At the expense of crippling debt :) https://data.oecd.org/hha/household-debt.htm (don't forget the fact that American savings have to account for losing your job or getting sick, as well as retirement, while in Austria they don't).

I'll be the first to argue that the American safety net needs improvements, but Social Security, (retirement and disability benefits), Medicare (65+ government health insurance), Medicaid (poor, unemployed, and disabled health insurance), and unemployment insurance all exist in the US, and together with other benefit programs constitute the majority of US spending. Indeed, US government spending per capita on health care is higher than many European countries. It'd be a good example of where having a higher nominal dollar value doesn't buy as much even adjusted for PPP, since obviously despite this the US doesn't have universal public health care.

This is considered uncouth to say, but household debt is sometimes due to horrible exigencies, but it's much more often the result of easy access to debt and material consumption. It's really shocking to see the people you know cannot be making more than 40-60k driving around 50-70k vehicle, and who also have a nice boat and a huge house. But even people not doing these things tend to live more materially comfortable lives than most Europeans I know.

I imagine we’d have that skilled workforce if companies paid enough.

I’m a former construction contractor who reinvented myself as a software developer.

Each time I run into one of my former peers in the construction industry I hear the same complaints from them. “We can’t hire any good help.” Yet they are still paying the same non living wages that they have for 30 years.

For, among other things, using news articles to train AI, in violation of their deal with news producers to pay for use of content.

That's... kind of a big deal, maybe? "Using content to train AI is using the content" is a precedent that, so far as I know, has never been made before. On the other hand, most sources of content don't have deals with Google where Google pays for use, so I'm not sure how widely this will generalize.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't tree sitter already used by a bunch of stuff? Last I heard, github was moving all of their syntax highlighting to it, and a bunch of editors support it. Are they just dealing with the segfaults? Genuine question, because I'm considering using tree sitter for two different projects I'm working on (a LML and a full-blown language).

Or is it an issue with poorly-written grammars? The second you need to write an external parser with tree sitter, you have to start writing C, so I can see how that could lead to segfaults very quickly.

I dunno, I guess I'm just a bit surprised to hear a bunch of negative feedback towards tree-sitter, because up until now most of what I've heard has been pretty positive.

Looking at the GPU tech used and the committer names in that repo, I'm pretty confident this will at very least compete with both Skia and Pathfinder. I'm not super familiar with Vello.

These are solid tech choices by people who know what they're doing... definitely worth the effort to check its performance and quality out for yourself.

These GPU-first renderers all have slightly different approaches and each probably occupies a best-in-class niche for some multidimensional space of quality x performance x hardware/driver support x ease of integration. If you're not happy with one of the four, the others are all worth checking out.

> The acceleration meter won't measure anything because there is nothing to measure.

Put this way, isn't it almost begging the question? In GR the definition of acceleration is movement in contrast with the movement of gravity. If course gravity will never meet this criteria - all movement due to gravity will be aligned with movement due to gravity.

If instead we had a universe where instead of all matter having a gravitational effect, it was that all matter had a magnetic effect the we'd see no acceleration due to the magnetic effect and gravity would "produce a field" and cause acceleration in your above examples.

You can't use a gravitational biased tool to proclaim gravity is a neutral actor and everything else is a field.

It seems like more accurately, everything is "gravitationally charged", so instead we say it warps spacetime, but really is no different.
