There also seem to be no public trash cans. How do people dispose of the utterly absurd amount of disposable packaging that everything comes with?
To be fair, it's not just the phones. It's that we've been conditioned for instant gratification over many years (most of our adult lives if we're millennials) and this extends to knowing someone is OK. There's no more 'simply trusting that all is well, because there’s nothing else you can do' until that's the only option, and that's when worry can creep in.

As it says, 'phones stop that [trusting everything is ok] from happening. Instead of getting accustomed to being out of touch for a while, now we are always able to be in touch.'

But I think at the same time, we're all so aware of the fragility of life so much more. My parent's generation seemed to not care at all, trusting that bad things can't happen to us. My generation, I feel, are aware that they can, and do. So we try to optimise to avoid it, to mitigate it, reduce the attack vectors.

Is the world different now too? In the UK, you're never far from someone with a knife and an attitude problem. You know not to argue or protest, to intervene or become involved in anything, for fear of someone with a 'zombie' knife attacking you, and the problem is kids are more mixed, not yet sorted into their social bands as we adults are. So your nice to do child might be mixing with a zombie knife carrier which increases the probability that something could go horrible wrong.

And the above is just one example of how people are thinking ahead, but multiply this by several different potential areas of concern and yes, you have a parent that worries.

But was it better to have parents that didn't seem to care?
This is really nice - there is something about the whole concept that feels smooth in comparison to switching tabs.
10kWh would be enough for my house (on top of constant 500W and few kWh from solar) and costs about $2000 USD. That’s probably few centimetres worth of underground cabling or orders of magnitude less than street transformer.

Maybe they need purchasing power parity adjustment for those outside the US? $3.5/user/month seems lowish compared to peers in the US, though I agree with what you’re saying about how to charge at 10+ users (that is a nice business model that keeps your free tier alive while not changing the economics of the enterprise at all).
Yeah this seems like a huge omission; Tesla's robotaxi "efforts" are a pretty low bar to clear. Simply having a robotaxi service that exists already puts you way ahead of Tesla.

You're right, there are a number of avenues that are viable alternatives to the gpu monopoly.

I like the fact that these can be made with just mass-printed multiplication (and in ternary computing's case - addition) gates which require little more than 10 year old tech which is already widely distributed.

The problem at the core is that we rapidly went from high-trust societies where you could literally leave your door unlocked or even open so the cat could have free dominance over the local bird population and nothing would happen to a low/zero-trust society where you have to fear even a locked door isn't a guarantee that some crackhead didn't break in to get something to pawn for their next hit.

And to be very clear: more police, deporting migrants or whatnot else that conservatives/far right reliably preach as a "solution" will not help, because the root cause is widespread poverty and income and wealth inequality, nothing else.
So for the companies you're talking about, the ones that can't or won't retain profits from good years to ride out bad years, it doesn't really matter whether the shareholders are employees or not, the employees are still out of work with zero income.
It's been six years since I was there, so things may have changed in the meantime, but back then I've explored central KL on foot for a few days, and did not find that particularly enjoyable. Public transport is indeed great, but as for actually walking... taking kilometer-long detours to cross some urban motorway, being stuck for five minutes at a pedestrian traffic light, sidewalks being constantly interrupted by driveways or switching to the other side of the road... all perfectly normal. This depends on the area too, of course -- I found Putrajaya pretty nice, for example, but also not representative.
This is an exception now, unlike in the past.
You're absolutely right! Some learning that we came to later that isn't unrelated to what you're saying... don't just look at metrics (in the case I've described above, it was timings of operations in a large system), but look at histograms for them. You should be able to explain why they have the shape they do. The distributions are so often multimodal, and understanding the modes helps you understand a lot more nuance about your system.

We were an infra-focused team building up a scalable data handling / computation platform in preparation to apply ML at a non-trivial scale. When we finally hired some people with deep stats knowledge 10 or 12 years ago, there was a lot of great learning for everyone about how each of our areas of expertise helped the others. I wish we'd found the right stats people earlier to help us understand things like this more deeply, more quickly.
Yoghurt doesn't generally produce whey. Cheese does. Whey protein used to be the cheapest form of protein by a long way because it was just a byproduct that doesn't taste good and most people have no need for. But we are now in an age where regular people buy stuff with the word "protein" slapped on it, for some reason.
A base on Mercury would most likely be constructed in the wall of a crater on the north pole.
The whole reason that people _like_ suburbs is that they are not mixed in with commercial uses. The houses are only near other houses, plus a few churches, parks, cemeteries, schools, etc. If you take that away, you take away what people like about them.

Unlike billboards, a lot of people enjoy Banksy's "products", and consider them art. Also, they are much smaller and less obnoxious, not placed over a highway or on top of a large building.
You are laughing. But the city of Berlin was not able to provide this service. Spending a day in the park or on the playground with kids and needing a rest room meant either hiding in a bush, going home early or to the next restaurant where you had to pay a fee, usually (bc they provided a rest room to hundreds of people daily).

I see this public private partnership a win-win.
That's great to know, thank you.

That being said I regret every use of `infer` in application code.

Yes, that was my first thought too. The concept is similar.

Get rid if the source-files and put every function/method in its own "editor". However, as far as I remember navigation to/from callers was not possible in Smalltalk.
I like how I am all over the place, haha.
I'm trying to pay an amount that makes sense though.

It is like the olden days, where piracy of Photoshop didn't put a dent in Adobe. They got free advertising and everyone grew up learning their product. But since you could get the "best" tool for free that meant you wouldn't pay for a cheap alternative (that actually had you as their target group), completely killing an entire section of applications - they were the true victims of piracy.

I feel like that is happening with these kinds of tools. Slack et al do have free options that are completely obliterating the hope to target businesses that don't need as much.

99.9% of all the features you are paying for is pure bloat. It costs money to develop and I get that, but then I don't want it either.
As a matter of accounting, all the net money in the system was first created by the state before the private sector could accumulate it. You're welcome.
After having worked with Teams, Slack, Discord, … Zulip for me is the best. A mix of forum and chat, great search capabilities, customizable notifications. You feel empowered to decide how to filter the noise that can happen in a big community and when to jump in and participate.
> ... but whenever IMO is brought up, a caveat should be put out: medals are awarded to 50% of the participants (high school students), with 1:2:3 ratio between gold, silver and bronze. That puts all gold and silver medalists among the top 25% of the participants.

yes, it is true, but getting to the country specific team is itself an arduous journey, and involves brutal winnowing every step of the way f.e. regional math-olympiad, and then national math-olympiad etc.

this is then followed by further trainings specifically meant for this elite bunch, and maybe further eliminations etc.

suffice it to say, that qualifying to be in a country specific team is imho a big deal. getting a gold/silver from amongst them is just plain awesome !

In a world where AI takes jobs, couldn't they also take on the responsibility of taxes? All the top dogs from OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, etc. keep talking about the ridiculous value that AI could provide. Trillions of dollars.

I'm no economist, but here's a naive suggestion: make the robots pay taxes. If AI turns out to be as incredible as they're hyping it up to be, then every company on earth will be paying some big AI company for its services. Instead of letting OpenAI and others hoard all this money, take a cut of their insanely high revenue to pay for UBI.

... As I said, I'm not an economist - I suspect there's a serious flaw in my suggestion but I don't know what I don't know. I'd appreciate any rebuttals.
50+ years ago we were being marketed cigarettes as "Torches of Freedom", promoted by doctors and cartoon characters. We rightfully banned these practices in most of the world because of the product they were advertising, but the deception and manipulation have been an industry staple, pioneered by Edward Bernays a century ago. The internet is simply a new tool they can use to make their work more sophisticated than ever before.

It has also made a lot of people very rich, so I doubt that the advertising industry will accept devolving to a state before psychological manipulation became the norm, and sacrifice billions of dollars worth of revenue. Governments are unlikely to regulate it to that point either, given their symbiotic relationship.

This banning of billboards is a good step, but the real problems are online.
That is what I'm looking at. But it costs $3.5 per user to self-host if you need mobile notifications.
With care to make the build step "ergonomic", I prefer working with code generation than with macros. Everything about macros is "cleverer" than code generation:

* Implementation of macros require clever algorithms [1] where code generation is mostly straightforward.

* It is harder for IDE's (and most importantly, humans!) to make use of the code because it is not trivial to determine the end result of a macro ("run the code in your head" kind of situation).

There are features that a language can adopt to make it even easier to benefit from code generation, like partial classes [2] and extension methods [3]. Again, these things are a lot more straightforward for both humans and IDEs to understand and work with.

IIRC SDIO sources drivers from various motherboard, peripheral, and prebuilt/laptop vendors (not always the same company that made your laptop!), and does not always pick the latest/best version or the right driver for a peripheral. Personally I use it when I can't find a driver myself, and it often finds a working driver (but possibly not always).
Both internet and web are themselves examples of what you are talking about. Maybe you're too young to have lived through it but for entertainment everyone used to watch TV decided by a few corporations.

You'll hear little positive about them on hacker news but there are many projects attempting to turn centralized services into market based p2p open services. Not clear if any will seriously work out, bitcoin is probably the only thing that is really working. But not clear others won't work out.

The many examples of functionalities fulfilled by decentralized structures in nature indicate that this is more complicated. The endocrine system and immune system in your body are beyond current human technology capability and are decentralized. But they also exist alongside a centralized nervous system.
never seen a blog which is that interactive. great work!
Absolutely. I used to drive by a beach on the way to work. I regularly saw a man sweeping the sand off the sidewalk. He looked to be a city employee. Maintenance is always needed.

My hope is either to make it fun enough that people want to do it a few hours a week just to contribute back to others, or find a payment scheme that doesn’t lead to little kings trying to rule everyone.
Thanks. I'm not particularly for or against Mr. Beast but this is mostly the kind of thing I would expect from an influencer. Guess he is not as wholesome as advertised if this stuff is true.
It's not really about communism, though.

You'd have to be blind not to see parallels under capitalism. Employees cannot profit from inventions and improvements, so they don't engage in them. Improving efficiency means budget cuts and animosity from under performers.

This might not be true for smallest companies, but those don't really drive the economy.
I'm disappointed that nobody's tried to be properly contrary yet. How about this: adverts are a service. If they work properly, they provide information about new products that interest you. If you didn't want to know about the products, the advertisers didn't want to tell you, so really you have the same goals. The only problem is that billboards aren't targeted. Hence we need to replace billboards with more tracking, face recognition, mood recognition, AR glasses, brain implants, and enable people to be constantly surrounded by enjoyable adverts.
> Why should it be different for ads?

Because other things in public don't manipulate me into thinking a certain way in order to take money from me. People that attempt to do that are labeled as grifters and scammers, and the legal system deals with them. Why should it be different for ads?
You’re assuming that every single billboard switches to sports advertising. Which might not happen.
Similar proposal in Sweden right now. Plenty of concerns with the reg, but seems to be happening.
Hehe, rough.

For routing you have to click a POI, can't pick just any place on the map. Impossible to route POI to POI without typing out the name of at least on of them.

Vaughan Pratt - oh no, the only non-Turing award winner in the list. Oh right but he's emeritus faculty at Stanford, directed the SUN project before it became Sun Microsystems, was instrumental in Sun's early days (director of research and designer of the Sun logo!), and is responsible for all kinds of other awesome stuff (near and dear to me: Pratt certificates of primality).

I'm all for this, I'm in a city not so far away, and there's so many nice areas with tree lined roads, parks, beautiful buildings and then suddenly a giant ugly billboard.

I have noticed they are frequently vandalised, adverts are regularly torn off, and particularly large and ugly one has been removed down the road

My young daughter enjoys some short videos on Facebook of a nice guy who just enjoys nature. He's not at all famous, probably has followers in the low tens of thousands I think, but I paid about $25 to get him to do a video for her. I wonder how much of their revenue is actually from a much larger number of not-really-at-all-famous people rather than sitcom stars.
Marin's billboard ban is older than I'd thought, having been adopted in 1936 according to this article:

<https://marinmagazine.com/community/history/history-of-a-hig...>

At least one billboard, along 101 at the highway cut between San Rafael and Larkspur, survived until the late 1970s or early 1980s, but was burned down in what has been described as the closest an act of arson has come to earning an award of commendation by the Marin County Board of Supervisors.

More recently, a "flower billboard" was created, and in 2010 removed, along US-101 in Novato:

<https://www.marinij.com/2010/08/24/controversial-flower-bill...>

(That article also places the county-wide ban more recently, in the 1970s.)

I would recommend trying it, its not as bad as you say it is
When I last used it, as a type system it was much better than TypeScript. A lot of flow features now exist in TypeScript though too.

One big annoyance with Flow I had is like you said: unpolished tooling. Another was frequent breaking changes (I don't hold it against them too much, it was 0.x software after all)

Also because features diverged, you had to maintain type defs for multiple versions of flow for for multiple library versions. And then at one point, they also decided to convert internal errors to any types instead of displaying the error. That was the last straw for me, especially since I maintained a few flow type defs. I spent _so_ much of _my_ time just on type def maintenance for open source libraries already, with the any decay I like flying blind too. So I just switched to TS with its interior type system: it was good enough and others maintained library typedefs for me. But now the type systems are much more closely aligned (unless flow drifted), so switching to TS paid off in the end.
Banksy's answer to this would be so simple, I'm baffled you bothered asking.

You wouldn't attack another person for their clothes. Because it's on and belongs to a person.

Banksy wouldn't give a damned if you painted over his art. Because it's not on person and belongs to no person. Same as the ad space and the abandoned building he painted over.

He attacked those who legally contributed negatively to public spaces. No one's car is doing that, and if they were, kids would just scribble "Wash Me!" over it and you would be there clapping, oblivious to this conversation until pointed out.
as a noob, i feel that formalizing is a major part of solving the problem by yourserlf. my assessment is that once you identify certain patterns, you can solve problems by memorizing some patterns. but people might me can struggle with the first stage and solve the wrong problem.

still good progress nonetheless. won't call the system sufficient by itself tho.
> „Public spaces“

Usually buildings have private property owners. They agree to putting a bill board on their wall or they don’t. Graffiti sprayers usually don’t ask for permission — and that’s where the difference comes from.

In Europe you don’t usually have huge bill board on buildings. Rather you have lots of advertising columns on the side walks (here in Berlin we call them „Litfaßsäule“ named after the local inventor Paul Litfaß in 1854). You could argue they being a nuisance for sure but before the internet and even before radio and tv it was an important place of public communication. Actually they were an improvement because prior to advertising columns advertisers were wildly plastering anything with posters.
Most people in this world don't eat enough protein (cca 65g daily for average human IIRC) and way too many carbs, hence a lot of civilization diseases. Or ratio protein : carbs (ideally complex) : fats (ideally unsaturated) is bad long term.

But its true that not healthy food that has some additional protein mixed in ain't magically healthy.
