Does solar power generation really align with peak power usage... ? For most of Europe and the US, peak usage is during winter, and this is the time where the days are shorter, and the sun is lower in the sky.

This reads more like a case of you having left ambiguity in what exactly you disliked. And rather than defending the position, I found the reply fitting towards what it seemed like you disliked: the need for rather specific header tags. Now you've clarified it further, and it's clearer that it's not the need for header tags specifically that is the problem.

For what it's worth, I do agree that the syntax may be a tad strange. But I feel that, as with many of these issues, this is a tooling issue. Now, whether or not tooling will be made or not, for these kinds of problems, is unrelated.

As an aside, I rarely remember the HTML header tag; but that's fine, I have tooling that does it for me.
There are two attitudes that you skipped over: "dependability" and if it works, then don't fix it.

Between those two and people who have tried an electric or hybrid vehicle and had it turn out poorly (totaled because the battery went bad in the heat and it isn't worth replacing). There is a degree of wisdom to the advice "chemical energy storage is more convenient, dependable, and cheap for intermittent to constant daily use". I look forward to on site residential solar powered propane production and liquification for this reason.

Funny that the word "literally" have evolved in a similar way
I mean, both kitchens are "real" kitchens. They have slightly different parameters, sure, but I don't think there's any need to dump on fine dining like that. A greasy-spoon cook would also experience a period of adjustment if dropped onto the line of a Michelin-starred restaurant.

For that matter, the kitchen in my house is a "real" kitchen, and if I put a flat-top on the stove and parcooked meats in the oven any decent cook could probably put out several hundred egg breakfasts. The real bottleneck would be toast, I don't think my vintage Sunbeam is up to the job.
Actually it seems to make most people quite happy?

Costco seems okay with it. Housing gets built that circumvented the NIMBY's. The development is mixed use with a grocery store in walking distance instead of driving distance. Local labor gets paid an appropriate amount instead of being undercut by illegal labor (a HUGE problem in California). And it's not like current 5 over 1 construction is particularly aesthetic.

Where's the downside?

> Autonomous cooperative cars would convoy in dynamic flocks in a way that does point to point transit with a lot of the advantages of trains

The main advantages of trains are:

* Dedicated right of way - which you cant't get with cars.

* High route capacity - even a unrealistic 10x improvement still doesn't compete with trains. At 2x it's worse than busses.

* Cheap running & maintenance costs - doubtful running costs are similar, certainly not maintenance.

Trains do however congest, you get that a lot in the USA when you don't have dedicated passenger lines.

> Even having a modest percent of all cars on the roads cooperative autonomous vehicles using basic control theory to relieve congestion would aid the entire cities traffic (there have been several studies proving this).

There have also been several studies into something called induced demand. The result of reducing car traffic is that more people choose to drive, resulting in more car traffic. The only way to actually reduce traffic is viable alternatives to driving.

Right now, you have an asymmetry in electric use between heating and cooling, because electricity is used for cooling (peak during the day), while gas and oil are typically used for heating (peak at night). That's going to change when we move everyone to heat pumps for heating, and to EVs that will charge at home overnight.

An excellent unintended consequence of forcing builders into modular housing might be a much more robust modular housing market.

See the Single-Family graph here: https://www.bls.gov/productivity/highlights/construction-lab...

It's worth also noting that despite the drama, Costco is not looking to lose money on these. So the apartments will be nice enough to rent. Nimbys tend to forget the discipline of the market, especially in their talking points.
Not sure why whether Costco makes a profit on the housing is the crucial thing; perhaps they don't, and they're just ahead in that they got their store in place sooner.

Dedicated bus lanes absolutely compete with cars on the road. You could drive a car in the bus lane, except for the words 'bus only'.

Most of the dedicated bus lanes I've seen were once open to all vehicles, but later restricted. Some were built specifically for busses, but not many.

> How cheap Waymos have to get to actually make a dent on the amount of people who drive or use public transport on a daily basis?

In L.A. for public transportation, they'd have to be really cheap. Public transportation here is crowded because it's realtively cheap. For a long while I took nothing but bus around L.A. It cost me around $50/month to go to nearly all the places I needed to go everyday. I still bus/train often, but sometimes now I have to drive for work and my wallet notices.

I actually think war driving progress is a strong argument. Not to use any obvious examples (e.g. internet), I would argue war has a profound effect on the psyche of nations (whether they lose or win).

A few examples:
- Germany rose to power in the 1800s, with a culmination at Sedan in 1870, driven by the humiliation Napoleon inflected on 60 years earlier. In 1870, Germany was a behemoth of technology (especially chemistry) & industry
- France won WW1 with such heavy losses that its people said “never again” (they called WW1 the “Great War” or the “last war”). War left an indelible mark (one wished it had left the same mark on the German).

Many such examples. Countries compete and war is a great impetus to modernize the Nation.
Totally agree. The solution is “yes and”. It’ always a bit sad to see people with good intensions arguing over whose intentions are more pure. I appreciate the frustration of pro nuclear people, because for so long they were see as even worse than fossil fuels, but we’ve gotta move past that and work together to get the most effective set of things built asap.
How costly is it to run a backup generator?

A gallon of gasoline produces about 36 kWh, and costs about $3.6. Assuming that the motor + generator + inverter chain has efficiency is 25%, it's 9 kWh of electricity per gallon, or about 40 ¢ per kWh. Likely twice as expensive as the grid, but fine for a few days.
> with many-core, having to budget decoder silicon/power might start to matter enough

That seems backwards to me. Narrower, simpler cores with fewer execution engines have a much easier time decoding. It's the combinatorics of x86's variable length instructions and prefix coding that makes wide decoders superlinearly expensive.
Heron: Modern Hardware Graph Reduction
This is very naive. The reason the "first world" is peaceful is only because of two things - nukes and American hegemony.

You need a hegemon for peace. Are you familiar with Japanese history? It was not until unification that the wars stopped. Finally there was a hegemon who brought peace by acting as the ultimate arbiter of power. The same thing happened to the "first world". A dominant hegemon emerged in the form of the US. This hegemon set the rules and made it so nobody needed to worry about their neighbors. A hegemon is the only way you can get peace in an environment that is otherwise anarchic.
It's interesting to me that the author hadn't previously considered that self driving cars would feel different. My first experiences in an Uber were very memorable, the drivers are so much more aggressive than I am. I kept thinking "they drive like an asshole so I don't have to" because it felt so much like I was being driven by my teenage self.

But also -- I've been thinking about what it would be like to have nobody driving for over a decade, ever since the promise of self driving cars became a popular topic here on HN. I still really want to own one - once they're good enough to get rid of any interior controls and face the front seats backwards with a gaming table in the middle. If board game day could also have a destination dinner, I would pay a lot of money for that car.
Based on the article and the comments here, it sounds like the way you remember things must be missing a lot of details. I'm speculating here because I just saw a movie today at a theater and I can playback scenes in my mind. I can certainly describe a scene with words but that's clearly very limiting. At the very least, I don't have words to map to all the colors my eyes can detect. Do you think that's accurate?

That's said, I imagine if you rewatched a recent movie, you would recollect every scene during the act of rewatching, just like someone without aphantasia.

For anyone who has a hard time believing this condition is real (because I initially did) here's how I think about it. When I first learned there are people who are color blind, I was stunned and skeptical that I could be looking at a certain colored flower and someone next to me didn't see the same reality. I can also easily believe that someone can imagine something in their mind way more vividly than I can. I'm willing to bet you could do an experiment where you give various people step by step instructions to do origami in their mind, draw a top-down view of the final shape, and there'd be a wide range of accuracy even among people without aphantasia.

Getting rid of parking can get rid of traffic since less people will drive if they aren’t confident that they can get a parking space. Most US cities have a ton of on street parking that they could eliminate to put an indirect dent in congestion. This would also mean fewer people with cars (since a lot of people rely on free on street parking at home) and would lead to better use of streets (transit lanes, bike lanes, wider pedestrian sidewalks, etc…). Also, if people can’t as easily own and operate cars, demand for public transit will shoot up (like in Japan and Europe, although they never experienced a car boom like the USA).

> A body like interpol would investigate the entire world, to surveil if anybody is trying to make firearms.

And that body would need firearms.

Firearms aren't the problem. It's states because states use firearms to get resources with which to conduct war. But states are unavoidable because without states we'd have caudillos -- warlords, heads of tiny states that will in due time coalesce into large states, and we're back at square one.

A single world state wouldn't be a solution for the same reason that larger states have at times fallen apart into smaller states: there will be resentments and tyranny. Indeed, a single world state would have to be tyrannical just in order to stay together, and its government would be highly non-representative for natural reasons, namely that having it be highly-representative would mean it having -impractically- hundreds of thousands of representatives.

You're not the first to think that extreme violence could bring peace, but it's an illusion. Huge majorities of humans must know internal peace and have tremendous wisdom for us to enjoy peace on Earth.
