A lot of people still have a negative opinion on .NET and C# where in fact it's probably the most productive combo and bang for your buck ever made when it comes to the quality of the actual framework, capabilities of the C# language (and to extent the other CLR languages like F#) and tooling. It checks all three boxes. There have been massive improvements in both support and new features after .NET Core came into being. Some people even say that they've been adding too much too fast recently. I don't know how it compares to Java and Go which seem to be the main competitors in that niche (not taking JS/Python/Ruby/PHP etc. into account), but I'd probably pick Go rather than Java myself if I had to abandon C#.

> But under all the high-tech green fanfare, several construction workers, including some who wished to be anonymous, say the site has been gripped by mold and respiratory illness—medieval hazards that workers feel managers neglected in the pressure to quickly open the plant.

They were contrasting the high tech and modern nature of the plant to the medieval hazard of mold. The assertion being that mold isn't a modern day problem. Mold, insects, vermin, and disease were common everyday problems in medieval times that were overshadowed by the more pressing needs around food scarcity and clean water.
I'm asking you because you're the one who just laid the blame of the last 2000 years of bad things on Christ's teachings, and not on mankind's natural behavior. Somehow it was what Christ taught, because it didn't stop people from doing bad things.
The implication that it's about ego is a relatively pathetic, naive, cosmopolitan view of reality. I wish I could live in such bliss.

No, you just have to pay a lot more for it, and civil projects don't typically allow for endlessly ballooning budgets.

You can’t even run the experiment due to how restrictive the land use is in hawaii. 4% of land is residential and of that a good deal of it is bog standard post war suburban development. Why not just at least upzone the existing residential neighborhoods and attempt to let the market decide for itself if demand is sufficient to justify investing in development instead of making it an impossibility?
Sounds like you need to build more housing.

Banning AirBNB won't fix these deeply disturbing issues.

Call me a keyboard jockey, but when more families are homeless soon after the ban, it's because housing was not built.
Bspwm just uses bash for configuration which is about as straight forward as you can get with modularity. Easy though? I dont think modularity is ever easy is it? I think the lack of it is one of the things that makes a thing easy.

Oops, I remembered it being somewhere near $15k but Google got confused and showed me results for the 40GB instead so I put $10k by mistake. Thanks for the correction.

A100 80GB goes for around $14,000 - $20,000 on eBay and A100 40GB goes for around $4,000 - $6,000. New (not from eBay - from PNY and such), it looks like an 80GB would set you back $18,000 to $26,000 depending on whether you want HBM2 or HBM2e.

Meanwhile you can buy a Mac Studio today without going through a distributor and they're under $6,000 if the only thing you care about is having 192GB of Unified Memory.

And while the memory bandwidth isn't quite as high as the 4090, the M-series chips can run certain models faster anyway, if Apple is to be believed
I didn’t take the OP that way. I think it’s a gentle suggestion that each topic has far more depth than might first be apparent. As someone who has a tendency to want to dive in and learn everything possible about a subject in a short period of time, I appreciate the reality check.
Thanks for the info on this! It sounds like my experience has been biased by coincidence. Ie, I've only lived in a house that was wired for gas once! (Northern VA). My childhood home (Also northern VA), both places in North Carolina, and Florida have all been heat-pump based, with no gas line.

My apartment in the UK was even weirder: It had something called a "Economy 10", with an electric heater (resistance?) in a concrete slab under the floors that would run at night, then release heat slowly throughout the day. (No A/C)

Vacation rental type housing is not actually a basic necessity. It's a business, one of the oldest categories of business that exist.

People who are members of a society get to decide what businesses exist in their society and what rules they have to follow.

People who are not members of that society, who live somewhere else entirely, and who come for vacation or to visit for whatever reason, are not consuming "housing" they're consuming a different resource, which is usually called a "hotel" as shorthand, regardless of the fine details.

Building enough housing for members of your society, including the inevitable growth of the long term population via in-migration or birth, is extremely important and something many places need to get better at.

But it's got nothing to do with how many hotels you allow. Regardless of what you call them.

> If areas are not zoned for more housing that requires approvals.

So zone it for housing.

I will once again float that zoning should be federalized, and everyone should be able to build whatever they want on their land by-right. If you have a problem with what I want to put on my land, buy my land. I'm not responsible for your property value, you are.

The federal government has the authority to invalidate local city council ordinances - for instance the FCC invalidated Chicago rules around satellite dishes. They also regulate housing in e.g. the Fair Housing Act. The housing market is interstate commerce.

Houston has no zoning rules and is one of the most affordable major metros in the US. Who cares that some guy lives behind a rollercoaster? [1]

> Infrastructure also needs to be considered.

If only there was an entity that was responsible for infrastructure, some kind of city council :) the council should be required to develop infrastructure to meet the actual demand in the area.

[edit] The whole concept of single-family zoning started in Berkeley as a way to keep minorities from owning homes in the area. By making them more expensive. It quickly spread throughout the US. The whole concept of zoning was meant to be exclusionary through pricing, and guess what, it works. [2]

Operative word being "If"...

What if rates go up?

Look at it from the perspective of the fed:

- Home prices up (or neutral)? Check...

- Stock market at all time highs? Check...

- Strong labor market + low unemployment? Check...

- High inflation? Check...

^^ The combination of the above make the case for rate increases, not cuts. [1]

It addresses the problem of housing costs for long-term residents, we agree.

It does that in two ways — it prevents tourists from competing for their house, and it reduces tourism, reducing local wages, which reduces housing demand from other locals.

But that's bad! It's bad for the tourists and it's overall bad for the locals. It would be even faster to just prevent all exports from Hawaii, including tourism — housing prices would drop really quickly. Would you advocate for that?

Instead, the goal should be to _increase_ the amount that people can trade, so you get some value from seeing a beach in Hawaii for a week and someone who lives in Hawaii can rent out their house or work in an airport or build a sightseeing business. And we can do that through allowing more stuff — including houses — to be built!
You say its overpopulated, I see a state of mainly suburban small towns at least outside resort developments when I visited the place. There’s no shortage of space to meet demand if one builds up like is done in Japan or Hong Kong.

> "medieval hazards" I don't even know what that means but mold is a thing in the modern area too.

The author was just trying to convey that these days we remediate mold issues, where as in medieval times mold was just something you lived with because you had bigger issues.

They were trying to juxtapose the fact that the this was suppose to be a modern state of the art battery manufacturing facility with the fact that they were being told to just live with the mold.

Imagine they popped open a crate and it was infested by rats. Would management have just told them to work around the rats?
Well to paraphrase a common saying, it's easy to build a bridge that stands, but it's difficult to make sure that is so optimized that it's on the verge of failing but still somehow stands.
Given that a regulatory change about AirBNB is under consideration, perhaps they should also consider changing the regime that has created the housing shortage and is actively putting working families on the street.

Until they change this bad regulatory regime, and regulate to provide enough housing rather than regulate to keep existing conservative homeowners happy, then they will continue to put regular folks in Hawaii through a meat grinder of housing austerity.
Of the plane wasn’t full, they’d often not care, or they’d be lax about it. The “fumble in my pockets with people behind me until they just wave you on” kind of thing.

This stems from the intentional decision to make absentee ownership have very low carrying costs.

If you build a housing unit in Hawaii, nearly anyone in the entire world is an eligible purchaser. Shift the tax distribution to favor workers/residents, and a huge percentage of eligible purchasers drop out of contention. Make it so that it is a dumb idea to buy housing in Hawaii unless you spend a really significant amount of time there.
I am pretty solidly out of frontend development these days, but for those that aren't, curious about where svelte fits in here.
Zoning is perhaps the easiest lever to pull. You could rezone hawaii tomorrow with a pen stroke and over time the local construction industry will grow and snowball now that more projects are possible, sustaining more labor and contractors and importers, etc.

> Do you think anyone in the US acts in the interest of the country as a whole

No, but that’s my point. It’s a basic economic issue between voters with different economic interests. Cash-poor college educated people want government subsidies, and non-college educated people with money don’t want to pay for that. People who make their living doing knowledge work see the value in subsidizing college, people who don’t do knowledge work often don’t see the value and don’t think the government should subsidize it. As Marx would say, each group votes according to its class and economic interests. It’s self-indulgent in the extreme to try and dress that up with some narrative about despotism.

Great video. As a counterpoint to the video author's claims, it's worth pointing out that Devin doesn't have to be anywhere close to as fast as a human software engineer to be useful. Even if it turns an hour task to a day long task, it's still going to cost a fraction of what it would to pay the engineer, so that bar it must meet is quite low.

Large groups, close together, are the largest load factor on a server like this because of the explosion of interrelated event broadcasting.

There are places in this world that are just outstandingly amazing and desirable. Why is it anybody's duty to enable additional people to immigrate into such places? How many more people should they provision for?

At the end of the day it is not the Hawaiian government's job to enable the whole world to come and live there. Being too hands off may lead to unfairness in some ways, i.e. gentrification, but at least discouraging investors seems a step in a direction of helping the less wealthy.

"Ways that may negatively impact valuations"

The housing crisis is when the valuation of the home are too high. The goal is to negatgively impact the valuations so that the prices come down, so that the poor and middle class can afford to live somewhere.
I consult for manufacturers and fabrication shops. In my experience there aren’t really centralized repositories of info for this stuff like there is in tech. It took me a while to get my head around it, and many years of talking to people and visiting their facilities, to realize that knowledge just doesn’t seem to be organized the same way in manufacturing as it is in tech. Most of the good stuff I’ve learned through conversations with guys running these facilities, not through some central knowledge base. I’d love to be proven wrong though if someone has a good set of resources out these...

And one poem or a page of text is but a drop in this ocean, an infinitesimal contribution. The model is much smaller than the training set. For example Stable Diffusion packs 5B images in 5GB, that's a compression factor of 100,000:1, about 1 byte per training image, not even a pixel. Taking so little from everyone, I am amazed how strong a reaction it creates. The final model doesn't steal almost anything, it doesn't rely on any training example too much, just a compressed abstraction of the training data. You have to overfit it and also prime it to make it regurgitate some training examples, and most attempts fail, resulting in novel outputs.
