>if your house is currently a million dollars then dropping in value by a third is roughly the difference between needing 220k a year of income to buy it or 156k a year of income to buy it. it's a 96th percentile income house vs a 92nd percentile income house, which makes it an affordable house to many millions more people.

Another way to put this is it would set house prices back by 3-4 years, which is where I was coming at it from.

I do think there is a lot that should be done on the regulatory front, so that more people can own, and more people in general can have roofs over their head.

I think it is despicable that we as a society have enacted things like minimum unit size while there are homeless people struggling to find housing. I think there should be basically no regulations for owner occupied homes, and the bare minimum safety standards for rentals. IF someone wants to rent a 10x10ft cinderblock cell to live in, they must really be struggling, so why the hell would we want to make things harder for them.
I think what this does is blur the line between extra body parts and tools. And maybe it leans more into the fact that our brains treat tools and body parts similarly.

You can't really prevent one person (a customer) from handing another person (the server) some money as recognition of good service, or because he thinks the server is cute, or because it makes him feel good, or whatever.
It's true that it may confuse a user if they see a salary range outside what's advertised. I modified the logic so from now for new jobs, the min salary must be $100k+ minimum. Thank you!
Mouse click considered complete only on mouse-up rather than on mouse-down was a thing before web browsers even existed, much less before touch UIs. Windows worked that way for as long as I can remember, and IIRC so did macOS.
In my opinion, you’re thinking about things in reverse: deciding you want to make a big impact through starting a business, and then looking for specific problems to solve that might lead to a business.

A lot of people in the general tech/startup world believe that’s a totally normal order in which to approach things, and it probably works for some people, but if nothing is screaming at you to solve it, IMO you are better off building experience in a domain or skill and then revisiting this later. You probably don’t have enough experience or context to know what’s worth solving (and a viable problem to solve for a for profit company). Note that advice from VCs is from their perspective, not yours - they may be willing to take a bet on you being able to eg disrupt podiatry with at-home laser wart treatment, but do you really want to just be someone’s 100:1 bet?

I worked for 5-6 years as a software engineer before recently starting my company, even though I’ve always known that I wanted to try founding a tech startup. And now I’m really glad I didn’t just immediately dive into entrepreneurship out of college. What I learned as an employee gave me experience in industries, technical problems, organizational practices/techniques/antipatterns, and soft skills that would have been major obstacles to starting a business. I have plenty of ideas for how to start a tech business now, because I know how I’d build the products and can identify a lot of problems/opportunities in the areas that I’m familiar with.

So IMO it can actually help a lot to simply work as an employee in some area that interests you - marketing, sales, AI, cloud, webdev, robotics, whatever - with the long term goal of starting a company once you figure things out. That’ll help you identify real problems beyond just “X for Y”.
And that's because Austin is a much smaller city. Of course traffic is much easier if you have 15x fewer people going anywhere. If you go by administrative borders, Tokyo is roughly 2.5x larger by land area, with 5.5x higher population density. And if you look at the metropolitan areas, Tokyo is 20% larger by land area and has at least 13x higher population density.
Why do you think I "got it" from Peter zeihan? I was aware of this long before I found out about Peter zeihan, because I have been watching china. And like I said, when pz entered my algorithm, I identified that he was getting some things very right and also many things wrong.

Look, if you are so convinced that China has shit figured out, go put 10,000 on a china index. The markets just collapsed a bunch so it "should" be on an upswing. You can't lose!

I think you toss around a lot of glib shit like "move fast and break things" without really thinking. Look man china really breaks things a lot, like bridges, or whole ass crumbling luxury residences. In the end, "breaking things" alone is not enough, you must also have the introspection to learn from your mistakes. I do think the Chinese in the small are quite good at learning from their mistakes but it's clear that societally there is a problem that policy is reactionary, often driven by goodheart's law, and there is little to no introspection or incentive to "do better".

But by all means, don't let me stop you from putting your bets on that sort of a system.

Windows does this for top-level menus for the same reason.

Or at least it did in classic Win32 UI. You can still see this in action if you open, say, Disk Management. But in Win11 Notepad (which is modern XAML), holding mouse down will open the drop-down submenus, but you won't actually be able to activate an item by releasing the mouse button while hovering over it, so it seems that someone partially copied the design without understanding its purpose.

I share that attitude, but you assume that “discography” is an existing product that should magically appear for you to choose. I don't even mean tangled distribution rights, and other legal problems, someone has to do significant about of work to compile such collection. And it's no different from other media. If I decide to collect all books from some author (and it's not a superstar money maker who gets fancy limited edition collected works printed each couple of years), I have to do some research, an understand that Book X has not been reprinted in 15 years, Book Y has a single really questionable translation (or some horrible cover, or a completely delusional editor's preface that the author would never accept), Story Z was only published in some journal, etc.

“P2P discography” is more like a personal collection, personal library shared with others. That person still has to do the similar amount of work to make sure it's not a smoking pile of data. Sometimes they do understand it, sometimes they don't.

This is somewhat exacerbated by, ironically, UI mostly being async these days. Back then, if app was slow, it would usually block the UI thread outright, so you couldn't click anything until processing was done. But these days UI is usually "responsive" in a sense that you can interact with it, and lag instead manifests by UI getting out of sync with the actual state (and constantly trying to catch up with it, causing the problem you describe).
These are all good points. High-density housing makes trains easier. Conversely, trains induce demand for high-density housing near the stations. There are many other considerations that need to be taken into consideration to make trains useful: frequency, right-of-way on road crossings (often a problem for light rail), right-of-way vs cargo trains (long-distance trains in the US), ...

> The single-lane surface streets that branch off in every direction have a vast amount of otherwise unused carrying capacity, which a highway lane unlocks by connecting low-density destinations together. And which you can't unlock with mass transit because those destinations don't have the density for mass transit, even if the path directly parallel to the highway does.

In a lot of suburbia, there are large parking lots near train stations. In theory, your point is a great advertisement for this setup. In practice, I never lived in a place where driving to the train station was convenient, but it's quite possible that is an accident. For one, parking lots have to be truly large to fit the number of people that would fit in a train car.

I think you want to start by answering two questions?

1) what is "the world"? Is it the planet? (Your change needs to apply to different ideologies, languages, cultures - like, say, a medical advance.)

Is it national (affecting just your country), like say translating media into your local language, reforming politics, or education.

Perhaps it's niche, like improving accessibility for the disabled, perhaps it's building a local free-upcycle site so those with stuff to get rid of connect with those who need (like say a Facebook group.)

How many people do you need to touch to consider your effort a success? 10? A million? A billion?

Question 2 - why?

Are you after fame? Fortune? Penance? Legacy? Understanding your root motivation here will be very useful to you. Does it matter if you change the world, but die poor and young? Does it matter if you're anonymous? Does it matter that the world knows it has changed?

Are you prepared to sacrifice your life to change the world for others? Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison, but became the inspiration for a nation.

Is it better to improve one life at a time, by say installing solar panels or attempt to solve climate change (and likely fail?) In others words is it more important to aim high, and fail, or aim lower and succeed.

Figuring out your root motivations will help you understand what it really is you want to do, and at what cost. Defining parameters for success, and failure, will help you evaluate ideas.

Good luck.
And thats always the case. If you got enough tips to make a wage that you want and got no salary youd still do it.

What an employer pays an employee is just enough to keep them doing the job.

It doesn't matter if the money comes from tips or wage it's all the same.

Which means the company will be the one who benefits from a tip every time it's money they don't have to pay the employee no matter what.
I'm personally okay with this in principle but I rarely see it accompanied by a policy to build anything else. If you tell me they're going to invest in trains and actual transit, I'm totally in, but I've not heard anything.

I mean this. I ride transit multiple times a week. I love the experience but it requires actual investment and many cities don't do that. In general, most government in America seems unable to actually build anything. I don't think we should applaud that they're now also choosing not to build highways.
Right now, someone else has that number.

> [...] but they certainly don't prove what OP claimed.

OP's claim was not: "LLMs know whether text is true, false, reliable, or is epistemically calibrated".

But rather: "[LLMs condition] on latents *ABOUT* truth, falsity, reliability, and calibration".

> It's also very different to ask a model to evaluate the veracity of a nonsense statement, vs. avoiding the generation of a nonsense statement [...] probably could have been done with earlier generations of classifiers

Yes. OP's point was not about generation, it was about representation (specifically conditioning on the representation of the [con]text).

Your aside about classifiers is not only very apt, it is also exactly OP's point! LLMs are implicit classifiers, and the features they classify have been shown to include those that seem necessary to effectively predict text!

One of the earliest examples of this was the so-called ["Sentiment Neuron"](https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.01444), and for a more recent look into kind of features LLMs classify, see [Anthropic's experiments](https://transformer-circuits.pub/2024/scaling-monosemanticit...).

> It's obvious from direct experience that they're incapable of knowing true and false in a general sense.

Yes, otherwise they would be perfect oracles, instead they're imperfect classifiers.

Of course, you could also object that LLMs don't "really" classify anything (please don't), at which point the question becomes how effective they are when used as classifiers, which is what the cited experiments investigate.
I would say we need wages to not rely on tips to supplement a wage to a liveable income.

For Ruby + Sorbet, it looks like Sorbet fits into Ruby syntax so we can reuse the same grammar, but you'd probably want the signatures to be considered as part of the methods. Working with the example from their website:

sig {params(name: String).returns(Integer)}
def main(name)
puts "Hello, #{name}!"
name.length
end

I think the idea is that Asqi should treat `sig {}` sort of like a comment: prefix metadata attached to `def main`, rather than as an unrelated imperative call (whereas `attr_reader` would not have this behavior). Do you know whether Sorbet continues to work if you alias `sig` and any of its other definitions? For example, can I do this?

def mysig(&proc)
sig(&proc) # or some other transformation
end

mysig {params(name: String).returns(Integer)} # does this work? I hope/assume not
def foo(name)
name.length
end

If the above is disallowed, then it should be easy to implement Ruby with Sorbet support built in. Otherwise I can probably do Ruby by itself, but it would be unaware of annotations attached to methods since to my knowledge there's normally no structural connection between statements that precede definitions.
I know that I would have found strong types constraining when I first started learning Lua in 2009, but do you ever really need to change the type of a variable after you create it? I did a lot of hacks using ternary true-false-nil and drive-by appending random state to a table it doesn't belong in, to be recalled later in some other random place in the code. The lack of rules makes even following your own ideas of structure easy to cheat and subvert.

I think your comment about opposite end of the spectrum has merit, because I find the strict rules to be refreshingly binding to my coding ideals. Rust is ergonomic to think in, and I have even used it to prototype things before implementing them in Lua.

To me, Rust vs Lua is changing a struct and then simply following the chain of compiler errors instead of trying to remember every last place a mushy table gets manipulated.

I think it's great to live in the country but you should not expect the government to bail you out. That's part of the deal. I myself have thought about buying country property, but as a responsible property owner, I bear the cost for adding infrastructure, and, in return, I get the sole enjoyment. That's the deal. If you want the infrastructure built for you then you need to accept public use of it. That means the government gets to decide how large that public is too.
> There is no way to change it other than to ignore it.

Couldn't one change the culture without freeloading off of where it's baked in?

For example, publicize your preferred convention, and then give your business to restaurants that decide to satisfy the demand for that convention.

If people don't flock to those restaurants, then maybe that wasn't a viable cultural change.

Or maybe the objection wasn't impassioned philosophical position on the optimal economic model, but rather that they simply wanted to pay less, and blaming a questionable custom was a convenient loophole.
"extended cognition" is the generalization of this concept as defined in academia (cognitive science and the like).

I had a very vivid experience while backpacking on acid: I fully comprehended the cyborg nature I had adopted by carrying all the resources necessary to sustain life on my person. The hose pumping water into the organs best suited to deal with it, the extra deployable shelter I had stashed away, the ability to isolate more water from harmful pathogens for continued sustenance, on-demand flame and vessel to cook foods that would otherwise be inedible/undigestable, etc.

Your cognitive processes reorganize themselves around those new affordances you've provided for yourself, and you can reasonably say you're thinking with those faculties and not merely of them.

The modernization argument only makes sense if your society is economically or militarily inferior to the society you want to emulate. It was the case 100 years ago, but not today.

The Japanese economy has been stagnant for over 30 years with no end in sight. Following the same logic, Japan should perhaps “modernize” their language by following China, which is a ridiculous conclusion as you can tell.

This is insane. How would any dense city work without mass transit?
It is crazy to honestly believe that those living in car dependent areas lack empathy. I'm sorry as someone who loves transit and will wax poetic on my lovely light rail, I am not okay with literally dehumanizing people I disagree with and saying they lack the ability to feel compassion.

Come on.. you're better than that. Compassion, empathy, etc are found almost anywhere.
