What we usually see in cities all over the world is that increasing population density drives the house prices up, not down.

For whatever reason, people like to live around other people. The more people already live in a city, the more other people want to move there, and this creates an upward pressure on housing prices.
> To say that LLMs are intelligent means that language is a requirement for intelligence. Thats some fairly magical thinking... buy any sufficently advanced technology..

When I was a kid, it was the definition of intelligence that separated humans from animals.

And there's a reason "dumb" means "mute" and independently "stupid".

It may well be an incorrect requirement. It may be a single form of intelligence out of many which happen to correlate in humans, but not in minds created by artifice.

But it does have a history.

Monetary premium is the word to describe this.

People use housing as a way to save their money because the gov. and banks print so much money and inflate our currencies away.
In the countries, where people trust the governments and banks less, the prices of houses are usually a lot higher proportionally to the income of the people.

Why? People do anything to save in real estate instead of saving in the bank or equities.
This tracks with other nation state sponsored attack patterns. I've had that same reaction before. Most APTs are like this but some Chinese,US and Russian APTs are so well funded, every aspect of their attacks is impressive.

Many hackers who work for nation states also have side gigs as crimeware/ransomgang members or actual pentesting jobs.

> If you somehow made housing 50% cheaper people would just demand 50% larger housing.

The incremental value of the first 1000 sq ft is nowhere near as much as the next 1000 sq ft. In one case you're no longer living outdoors, in the other you have more space to put your junk.

If you somehow made housing 50% cheaper people might just demand 20% larger housing, but so what?

Also, even in your formulation the result would be that someone who can currently only afford a small apartment would then be able to afford a larger one and be able to start a family, which is good.

> In the US, the average household size has expanded by 1000 sq ft since the 70s

A major reason for this is that we effectively prohibited smaller ones. If zoning only allows you to build one housing unit on the lot, it will obviously be more profitable to make it a 2500 sq ft house than a 500 sq ft studio. Meanwhile you might have been inclined to make it a dozen 500 sq ft studios, but that's not allowed.

> So long as you don't lose data

The article advocates storing data in local sqlite on single server. That means that when the server goes poof you will lose data. How much data, depends on how frequently you run backups. But it will be non-zero amount.

And backups bring the other point. It will never be just one server like the author proclaims. You need another server for the backups. Now you have two servers, and a dependency between them. The dreaded complexity is creeping in again, almost if it was inevitable
Ah, that would explain the absurdly bad I/O performance I was seeing in Azure VMs that had the new NVMe virtual disk controllers!

I always wondered if that kind of practice was bullshit by marketing people to justify their job or if it actually ever works.

The mere fact that one would need to create a fake landing page hints that the project is not solving an actual problem. If you only have minutes to spend on a side-project and don't immediately see whether or not it solves an actual problem, maybe just don't do it?

Mathematically, the Fourier transform is "simply" a way of representing time signals in a certain orthogonal vectorial basis. Vectors in an ordinary sense, e.g. a displacement vector on Earth's surface can also be represented in several orthogonal bases: one basis could, for example, be two vectors pointing North and East; another could be a vector pointing along a certain road and one perpendicular to it. There is nothing inherently special about any of these bases, one could draw maps according to any of these two or many other conventions. (Orthogonal basis vectors are not even necessary, only convenient.)

The interesting thing about time-dependent signals (or any "pretty" function, really) is that they live in an infinite-dimensional vector space, which is hard to imagine; but (besides some important technicalities) the math works mostly the same way: signals as infinite-dimensional vectors can be represented in a lot of bases. One representation is the Fourier transform, where the basis vectors are harmonic functions. The "map" showing the shape of a signal as a combination of infinitely many harmonic functions -- i.e. the frequency domain -- is just as real as any other map with different basis vectors, e.g. the Walsh–Hadamard transform mentioned in the article. And, crucially, the original time-domain representation is also just one map showing us the signal, though it is often the most natural to us.

Consider how many man years it takes to build a house. It might take 20 people a full time year to build your house (including all the time spent creating the materials).

If we lived in a truely equal society where everyone was paid the same amount, you should therefore expect it to take 20 full time years of your life to pay for it.
Tesla is far far closer to realizing a fully self driving car. Since Tesla made FSD (supervised) available for everyone in the US, a couple of weeks ago, there have been mountains of videos posted on X of people driving in all kinds of wild real world conditions, including big city driving, long road trips, in construction zones, crazy weather etc etc. [1]

Tesla announced a couple of days ago that they had passed 1 billion(!) miles on FSD, and growing exponentially [2]. In Elon's master plan from 8 years ago, he wrote they expected 6 billion miles before more global regulatory approval [3].

It's not there yet, but it's far far closer than most people realize. Me, personally, I think end of 2024, Tesla can demonstrate 2-3 billion miles driven on FSD and that a self-driving car is at least 10-20x safer than human drivers.

In today's world there are countless Postgres providers (Supabase, RDS, DigitalOcean, GCP, Azure, etc) so there is plenty of choice now.

Although I don't see why anyone would choose niche providers today other than the cloud provided ones like RDS now.
In my current ideal future, there's a bifurcation:

- People who don't like to code use LLMs, and spend all their time reviewing and checking in thousands of lines of meh (but that's OK, because when requirements change, instead of changing that meh you can always ask the LLM for new meh)

- People who do like to code move past the algol school, and instead of implementing modules in hundreds of lines of code, start using terser languages in which they can discuss implementations as follows:

A: the current implementation is '.....' but I'm thinking to replace it with ',,,,'

B: how about '..$,$..'?

A: cool, or we can replace that with '..;$$..', which reduces to '..;..'! I'll try that now.
Your philosophy actually seems more crippling than freeing, in my understanding. What if there were some traumatic event where you thought you could've stopped it (but in reality there was nothing you could've done)? Your philosophy of extreme ownership means that you would assign blame to yourself, a textbook example of survivor's guilt. I understand what you're getting at but at the extreme, it seems hazardous. I'd take it in moderation.
As far as I understand it, the DMA forbids them from exploiting their dominance in the search engine space to promote Maps. This is similar to the mobile space where users must be presented with a choice of their preferred browser and search engine.

I believe they would be legally okay if they presented users with a choice of their preferred Maps provider (e.g. Google Maps, OSM, Bing, or Apple Maps), but they've decided to implement it in the most obnoxious way possible.

> The fact that it makes more sense financially to borrow a million to buy a house and keep your 500k of savings tied up in the S&P 500 means we're far away from a solution.

Nah, that would be the case even if housing prices were indefinitely flat, because the bank will give you a loan against an asset with a stable value (house) but not be willing to loan you money at the same interest rate so you can gamble in the stock market.

As long as the bank will loan you money against a house for a lower interest rate than your expected returns from the stock market, it will make sense to borrow the money to buy a house instead of taking your own money out of the stock market, for anyone willing to take the risk of the stocks going down.

I think that's the opportunity in broader sense. I believe one of the key differentiators in future concentrated markets with well established brands will be trust. If you don't trust Google or MS in your domain - smaller but independent third party provider will be something you gonna look for. Same with forms - if you can establish independent brand which guarantees that payer won't have access to data - that's an interesting position to take and develop a business.
A single server in a data centre now is a lot more reliable than a machine sitting on someone's desk back then. The location probably makes the biggest difference - reliable network connections.
It's not really a programming language. It's a lot like JSON except with lambda functions and variables. Compared to the "template yaml" monstrosity gifted to us by the pointy-haired corporations, the Nix language makes a thousand times more sense.
Fully agree. Switching from the time domain to the frequency domain is just like switching coordinate systems.

If you have a signal with a single narrow peak in the time domain you can represent it in a very compact or sparse way just using a delta at the position of a peak. If you try to represent it in the frequency domain you will not find such compact representation. Similarly if you have a sinusoidal signal in the time domain, you won't get a compact representation there, but you will get it in the frequency domain where you just have a couple of deltas.

Time and frequency are two ways of representing the same thing. Sometimes it's easier to represent something in one domain, sometimes it's easier in the other domain.

It can be proven that anything bounded in the time domain will be unbounded in the frequency domain and viceversa. So compact stuff in one domain always spreads when represented in the other domain.

Beautifully, quantum mechanics tell us that position and momentum are conjugated variables (like time and frequency in the example above) and therefore if something has a bounded position (we know where it is) its momentum will be unbounded (we won't know its speed), and viceversa.

That's the main idea of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.

> The incremental value of the first 1000 sq ft is nowhere near as much as the next 1000 sq ft

Note that - intentionally or not - the parent comment said 50% larger and not 100% larger which is what they could buy for the same price if it was 50% cheaper.
It could be different reasons in different places. In the US it may be zoning and in other places it may be gentrification from Americans immigrating.

This isn't to say that seeing real estate as a store of value or investment isn't also part of the problem.
Hard to disagree. Housing is essential, the rest is a luxury. However, in the UK we are slowly running out of places to move to for cheaper housing and maintain our ability to do the work we can do in the cities while maintaining current levels of income. Yes, there are cheaper places, but there are no jobs there or employers who notice you live there offer you substantially less money. People gravitate towards London and other large cities and he property prices follow. But there is a cruel twist to that story. In terms of income, London-based IT salaries and contract rates have gone back and below 2010 low levels. At least that's what I see on LinkedIn and in my inbox. The property prices did not adjust and even worse, the quality of newbuilds has gone through the floor (often literally) further exacerbating housing shortage. This is not going to end well for the UK.
> The incremental value of the
> first 1000 sq ft is nowhere
> near as much as the next 1000
> sq ft.

Agreed, but not for the reasons you think, it's even higher than that, not lower! A 2000 sq ft house you can turn into a duplex is more valuable than a single family home.

It's the government that's destroying that potential value by preventing that development.

> people might just demand 20%
> larger housing, but so what?

If that's what they really want, sure, who am I to judge?

What I'm pointing out is that you'll see articles and discussions lamenting increased housing costs, while ignoring the massive variable of shifting consumer preference.

It would be like complaining about the rising costs of mobile phones, while implicitly insisting that you're only willing to purchase the latest top-of-the-line iPhone.

> A major reason for this is
> that we effectively prohibited
> smaller ones.

Yes, that's a factor, so reducing size to 1910 levels is somewhat of a chicken and egg problem.

But there's a lot of optional consumer preference on top of that.
And the site is up.

I 100% agree with the article.

Hetzner is the way to go.
The key is to build more housing units - if an area needs 50k more dwellings it doesn’t terribly matter if you build 50k luxury space apartments or 50k hovels - either is much better than arguing about it’d or decades and building nothing.
Nix-the-language is isomorphic to JSON, which makes a lot more sense than clinging to some outdated 1970's legacy.
Software developers often want to customize:

1. their home environments: for packages (some reach for brew on MacOS) and configurations (dotfiles, and some reach for stow).

2. their development shells: for build dependencies (compilers, SDKs, libraries), tools (LSP, linters, formatters, debuggers), and services (runtime, database). Some reach for devcontainers here.

3. or even their operating systems: for development, for CI, for deployment, or for personal use.

Nix provision all of the above in the same language, with Nixpkgs, NixOS, home-manager, and devShells such as https://devenv.sh/. What's more, Nix is (https://nixos.org/):

- reproducible: what works on your dev machine also works in CI and in prod,

- declarative: you version control and review your configurations and infrastructure as code, at a reasonable level of abstraction, to specify what the system should be, not how to get there,

- reliable: all changes (switching generations or profiles) are atomic with easy roll back.
Okay, I understand what you're saying, and you're right, but you're missing my point and doubling down on the same mistake again.

Language is inherently imprecise and communication is never perfect. When people say something, it's rude to assume they are wrong or don't understand something because they don't say it exactly the way you would have said it. This is extremely common in technical communication and it's extremely counterproductive.

I'm suggesting that you could be a better reader by trying to understand what people are trying to say even if they don't communicate it exactly the way you want them to.

For example, no one in this comment chain is confused about what currying or partial application are, so it's a bit rude that you've assumed people are confused because you didn't take the time to figure out what people were trying to communicate. Instead, because people didn't say things exactly the way you would have said it, you jumped in with corrections.

If you take a step back and resist the urge to correct people, can you understand how "Currying is a subset of partial application" is true?
Sad but if you are going to shut something down this is the correct way so kudos.
Almost nobody writes POSIX make, the vast majority of makefiles use GNU make extensions.
This is certainly true, but one thing I've found a pain in the ass is that every era has a texturing technique that nobody in the future can figure out.
