Interesting take on the backstory. Also,

> Of course Google didn't make the web site bad, you did.

That's right. Whenever anybody says "X made me do Y", sometimes I get flashes of the 1980/s1990s action movie villain, in the industrial backdrop, for the violence climax scene, with the hero on the ropes, screaming hysterically "You made me do this!"

Nobody makes you do anything. That's true from a strict personal responsibility standpoint, and it's an important boundary and important to remember: it's always your choice.

But of course that's not what this is about. It's about Google providing the incentive, for ruining perfectly good websites.

And we can get weaselly and say, "Well actually it's not Google, but it's the internet - or people - or technology - or economics - or thermodynamics" But the same point remains: Google chose to do this, too.

If we are to hold one to the standard of personal responsibility while relieving another of it for reasons of context and incentive? Well that just seems unfair. Hahaha! :)
This claim is often repeated, but what I buy from H&M lasts years and years.
Its a bit of a tangent, but the article mentioned Windows shipping with a fax like appliance which reminds of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2Bu5tkDs98

Millions of people must have insisted that they didn't a have a fax machine and completely missed that it was build into the computer they were using and fully supported by the fax modem in their machine.
My small dog likes to sit on squares but maybe that's because we have a hardwood floor and the squares in this case are thin pieces of square foam and they are comfortable.

But it is funny seeing the dog sitting several meters away from the kitchen table at dinner on this little square island.
I agree with your sentiments, but I'm stuck because renting is paying into the exact same problem isn't it?
You're providing a distinction without a difference. You'd have to know what the conversation is about in order to know if it's about company business. Which you don't if individuals have private communications, so you'd still have to prohibit "two citizens having a private conversation" in order to enforce your rule.

I also question your premise, which a lot of people state without evidence:

I work from home. It’s very nice that the gym I go to daily is a 10min bicycle ride away (faster than driving), the farmers market is a 30min walk, there’s 3 large grocery stores in a 15min walk radius, I’ll never discover all the bars and restaurants I can reach with a quick bicycle ride let alone a short Uber, and there’s even a major international airport 20min away by car. Oh and I can run to the Golden Gate Bridge in about an hour.

Cities are nice.

Oh and there are 2 or 3 elementary schools and countless daycares within a 20min walk as well.
Google thinks the value is zero, which is definitely wrong, and yes competition would help with that.
True, but in Melbourne, Australia, this has meant an explosion of cafes in the suburbs.

It used to be that most people travelled in to the CBD for work. Hence very expensive housing the closer you were to the city.

I don’t think house prices have adjusted yet, but your local shops have. Anecdotally I hear from people all over the place who say that their local shops have had a boost thanks to the increase in weekday traffic.

That’s very absolutist. There’s a place for rental accommodation. I moved to Australia as a backpacker in 2003 and found a cheap rental. What was I supposed to do, buy a house?
Yeah this is something I have noticed the last few years. Remote work cuts both ways. Someone in NYC can now do their job in Cleveland. But someone in Cleveland might decide to try and do their job someplace more exciting like NYC.

And while people working originally Cleveland based jobs may not get as much money as an NYC based job, there are apparently enough high paying jobs (and trust funds) to support people moving into places like NYC.
That doesn’t make them not arcane

This is directionally accurate. The issue is of course timing. It takes years, possibly decades before inertia is overcome and prices move down. And in a place as big as America it will always be impossible to time a permanent shift downward, if it ever comes for the handful of metro areas that will always remain alluring.

It is an ad. New account, waste of space. HN is really getting too mainstream for its own good...
The absolutist position is to think I am advocating for an end to renting, and thus dismiss my message.

Only a fool or someone choosing to would think I am advocating for an end to renting.

But sure if you want to be right, you made your point. My point remains - the renter/landlord system is toxic for healthy society, for families, for young people, for old people, for everyone who is not a landlord - if you have personal integrity then you should not be a landlord.
"I'm right and you're wrong and anyone who tries to say otherwise proves that I'm right" is some kind of take.

Beware that you're a hypocrite and don't realize it so you will argue that you aren't, but it's proof that you are.

This is because you weren't algebraing, you were pre-Hilberting :)

Let's forget we're in finite dimension for a minute, in which case it is not trivial to expect a scalar product on our vector space.

So now we have two things, which are separate: a vector space, and a scalar product.

The vector space says: you can sum my elements, multiply them by a scalar, and I'm stable by linear combinations. That's all it says, really.

Everything else, the geometry, is a consequence of the scalar product. It even defines the norm in the first place, thus the topology. For instance, there's no talking about convergence in a vector space if you don't have a norm. You can't even tell if a sequence converges.

You can define a norm without a scalar product, of course. But then you lose certain notions, like orthogonality.

Anyways, in the case of finite dimension vector spaces, there's always a scalar product at hand, and this is where the geometry comes from, really. The algebra portion of it - being a group with a scalar multiplication - is certainly necessary, but not the one to define geometry.
Western countries (such as OP's, and mine) have been counter-acting lowering birth rates with higher immigration rates. It's become a political issue in Australia now with a housing and a cost of living-crisis, in times of record-level immigration [1]. It doesn't look like OP accounts much for that.

Yes, overall birth rates might be going down, but that doesn't mean that there will be fewer people where OP lives. Chances are the rest of the world wants to live where OP lives. I don't see Australian house prices going down any time soon, and I don't see these trends reverse in my lifetime. And I'm not even that old!

Ads should be viable here. "The ad ecosystem is broken" is not something individuals should have to fix.

And asking for an entire coffee for a quick tool is not really in line and unlikely to get many takers.

And there's no good way to ask for microdonations.
My biggest concern with LLMs in programming, a complete loss of context. Unless the model is regularly trained on the latest codebase, code will always be generated in isolation. No real architectural decisions made with regards to reuse or testability, and no consideration for how the code will be used in 6 months or why the existing code is the way it is.

To anyone using LLMs for meaningful code, I wish you luck maintaining the code long term and hope you really do enjoy doing code reviews.
I vaguely remember situation where it was not possible for me to choose such option, but I don't remember details
Are you using them regularly in physical labor though?
I agree its a concern. You could argue everything on XDA forums and any modified Windows should have the same problems.

Personally I use the community of version of Arch i3, not going to check the source on that, but will trust that community might keep an eye on anything nefarious.

Doesn't seem like Linux is completely immune from that either(i.e. XZ Utils).

But the build is amazingly stable and fast, and I will have to take it good faith that they didn't do anything that would harm me.

I can at least track down the author in various communities and seems to be semi-open about their identity. There is a forum thread any concerns I can bring up with the person responsible.

They are also taking donations. I would hope that exposes them to some liability and financial trail if they are found doing something illegal.

Malware writers love code that is inconspicuous, generic, hard to attribute and hard to reverse.

As far as I can tell, this doesn't check any of those boxes.
An analogy I made to friend - language models capture the constraints in the arrangement of tokens in streams of communication. LLMs that model the constraints placed by human intelligence on token streams can no more be said to have attained (human)intelligence than physicists who decode the constraints placed by a god-like intelligence on the universe can be said to have attained god-like intelligence themselves. (Using comments by theist physicists to the tune of "deciphering the mind of God")
> Because if there are alternatives, then it isn't a monopoly.

The definition of monopoly is not 100% market share.
Yeah. Which is why I wouldn't implement that in the first place - I come down hard on the idea that you should ship your dependencies, have them in a standard place or use a third-party resolution system (like every vaugely modern setup does. C#, Python, Ruby, Node, Rust even Java all understand that this is not optional anymore).

Its a code smell to me when your build system starts to become too complicated and not fit on a screen.

I don't buy real estate because I think there will be a population boom.

I buy real estate because I think the dollar will collapse. And because when mortgage rates <3% when all the macroeconomic fundamental scream "bullshit", I have a fairly safe, free, and accessible to leverage.
I don't know. It's probably a problem of effort -- if you need a sink, do you buy a new one, or spend tons of time perusing various used-stuff markets looking for something suitable? There may be an opening there for technology to solve it.

I'd argue this is because it lacks proper sandboxing, not because it lacks curation.

Even if healthy competition could exist in this space, Apple (formerly?) barring developers from saying things like "our prices are 30% higher on iOS due to Apple's tax" gets in the way of consumers making informed decisions about competing products.
I know from work I've done with voluntary contributions that you can get near the amount that ad sense will give you, but that's on the high end, and will depend on the type of content and how you push it. But it would have at least been worth trying, given the public service nature of the content. Certainly enough to cover the costs of the domain name and hosting.

Also, people are far more receptive to a message asking for a contribution than an ad.

Also, the OP DOES NOT have a support page linked on the original, or meme page of apportionmentcalculator.com. Don't know why you're giving me snark when it seems you yourself didn't even look at their site.
I predict you're gonna get a lot of flak for your comment, but this is something I've started feeling myself in South Florida, where I grew up. We started noticing more and more homes in our neighborhood without permanent residents -- almost every new neighbor we get is a renter who's there for 6 months to a year, and then leaves. Or, we end up finding out that a home on the block is actually an AirBnB that is empty for weeks at a time. The cohesion of a neighborhood where you meet and know your neighbors that I had as a kid is mostly gone.

Not to mention the housing prices down here have skyrocketed with a bunch of wealthy folks from up north moving down, buying up real estate, turning them into VRBOs or their summer homes. Meanwhile, a friend of mine who graduated with CompSci from a state university is being offered peanuts by companies down here; he can barely afford to rent an apartment.

Anyways, I know this is kinda the norm in places like NYC, so I don't want to sound like a crybaby. Maybe city enshittification is just normal in the US. But my observations have turned me off from real estate investment, which was something I was considering last year.
> if you have personal integrity then you should not be a landlord

Alright. So who rents 2003-me that flat in Elwood?

By the way, I still rent. I mostly enjoy it. I like the freedom to move.
agree with you, how would it work otherwise? if rent still works, who are we paying rent to that's not paying into all the negative stuff you mentioned?

Um, there’s something called Android. No need to be on the Apple platform at all. You can switch to it if you’d like. When I walk into a Tesla dealership I don’t expect to be able to buy a Chevrolet.
If the dollar collapses who's there to enforce your ownership of said property?
Just because you love walled garden, doesn't mean others think the same. In fact you are the minority. This is especially visible on Android, where Google introduced side loading since the beginning and is struggling how to disable it. For example by blocking it in new android based products like Android TV.

Or EU ruling that Apple needs to provide side loading, so Apple still only enables it on EU SIMs, making it hard to still build products with it.

You mentioning Windows that it's "a privacy and security a clown show". Yet you are dismissing that Linux is for servers. That still doesn't change the fact that Linux is even desktop is much more secure though. Also mobile problems was not solved by mobile phones, in fact it was much worse, and more recent windows versions "backported" those ideas.

> It wasn't conceived, for example, to stop car manufacturers from engineering the cars to accept parts that are only made for their cars.

That's not what antitrust law supposed to protect. It's clear that different products will have different parts, what antitrust laws would do (if they weren't rendered toothless) would punish any blocking of competitors springing up.
Exactly. In the EU, most hot cities have become prohibitively expensive in terms of rental and purchase prices, basically because that is where most jobs are. I don't see a reversal of this trend happening anytime soon, unless there is a massive shift towards remote work. If anything, I think things are becoming worse.

I wish I was wrong, as it is a nightmare. Before COVID, a nice rental in the Oxbridge area would cost 1/3 of an average salary. Fast forward to 2024, it is now 1/2. Lot's of people are struggling. I heard the buy-to-let era was over, and that the market was cooling down, but I don't see that turning into lower prices.

Isn't that what all the tracking and analytics is supposed to determine? I thought ads were supposed to be tailored to the viewer as much (if not more than) the site.

It might have been a fair point, but AI-generated word salad was enough to make this site palatable to AdSense - but I don't see how any of it would help the AI and/or mechanical turk supposedly assigning target-demographic labels to this site.
As you learn the key bindings keep thinking about how to use Emacs as your operating system and ask questions to experienced users in forums or to LLMs. Read the manual, slowly, over a period of weeks, then reread it. Eventually learn a bit more elisp and learn how to program your own environment. Once your shell is within Emacs, and 50% of your daily interactions with a computer happen through it, you quickly reach nirvana in your journey towards Emacs mastery and you get to enjoy the things you built yourself.

The goal of society should be 90% owner occupied.

Of course not everyone should own a house, but 90% owner occupied/10% rented it the right mix.

Housing in most western economies today is a ponzi scheme - a deeply immoral ponzi scheme, perpetrated by politicians with large housing portfolios who stand to benefit from the immoral corruption of the ponzi.

The first thing to do is point the finger at the landlords who are buying up houses and who think of themselves as good people and let them know they are the toxic perpetrators of the ruin of the fabric of our society. Every houses a landlord owns in a house that a young family will never own. When you own houses you own families like serfs.
