People in US suburbs frequently live several miles from their town center, if they even have a town center at all.

Cycling simply isn’t viable to large swaths of the US. There isn’t an easy answer to this either, given that you’d probably need to tear down entire neighborhoods and rebuild a more dense town
Warranty repair is the only advantage.
Or self-centered pampered snowflakes that were told from birth by delusional people that they deserve a life free from interpersonal conflicts. So any conflict, no matter how minor, that arises is hopelessly "toxic", and they shouldn't have to interact with anyone that deviates from their naive world view and poorly preconceived notions.

A password manager with some documentation and process could solve this.

What I describe is more or less what has been the standard at the companies I worked for, no secret sauce here, and I added some extra processes to address the questions you asked.

Get a password manager service (none of the keepass file thrown onto Google Drive), we used 1password, it's good enough I assume. Keep related items in one collection, don't mix unrelated items. Always save passwords in the pw manager, and make sure everyone does that, too. When someone joins, give them access to what makes sense. If someone gets promoted, add them to a new collection. Document who is allowed access to each collection if necessary. When someone leaves, kick them out of the password manager service first, then in a timely fashion, change the passwords (I don't know if you can do it automatically, but if churn isn't too bad, you can also do it manually). Save the new passwords in your passwords manager. As everyone uses the password manager, they will automatically get the new passwords without them even realizing it changed.

Some extra that's also important: if possible, use SSO and everyone uses their own account, eg Okta. Create and share passwords only if needed. When one off accounts are needed, make sure they are created with company email addresses, ideally named after a team rather an individual.

My experience is that most companies can't be bothered to change passwords every time someone leaves. Most people are not assholes, or want to go to court and possibly jail for messing around in accounts from their old companies (even if they could technically save the passwords for their own use for later).
Good point, but one could probably easily treat freight vehicles differently.

You're right, but doing otherwise is almost impossible in North America. Everything is made to benefit big business owning big box retail stores and put mom and pop small retailers out of business. If you don't have a car you may pretty much starve except for a few cities in US and Canada. No wonder online shopping is becoming so popular, it is anti-human to get into a car and then be forced to walk a mile inside a big retail store to make a small purchase.
> a restaurant may reuse utensils by washing them.

Can't just the employee cost of gathering and placing them in a dishwasher, the fraction of the cost of the dishwasher machine itself, sorting them out, replacing the quantity that got stolen or thrown in the garbage by mistake or damaged, the accounting of mistakes where dirty or otherwise unsanitary ones are handed to customers, etc... exceed the cost of disposable?

It's not a theoretical concern. Or at least any theoretical concern is not hugely useful in the practical operation of a restaurant.

>burn some of the gas you save

I know what you meant, you're simply comparing to the status quo, but...

"Save" implies that the zero baseline is a constant burning of fossil fuels. Let's not forget that ultimately that needs to go to zero.

At best this could be a temporary 'bridge' arrangement, but those have a nasty way of persisting long after they should be phased out.
Avoiding sh overcomplicates this. Just give them a one liner: mv ~/.zshrc ~/._zshrc and vice versa. Pasting a cmd is not rocket science.

Can anyone comment on the sustainability of resin?
I disagree. “Results” can pretty hard to quantify in athletics, especially in team athletics. Sure, there is a binary result for a win or loss, but are so many confounders that it can be pretty difficult to determine if a given strategy, diet, or gear is optimal, or even better than another.
This. The problem with fossil fuels right now is not that they are bounded, but that extracting them is polluting the atmosphere and driving climate change. While we've certainly exhausted some of the more easily accessible oil, coal, and natural gas deposits, we've gotten really good at finding more. Production is only scaling down because investment is, not because we've run out of oil to drill for.
I have heard it claimed this happened because:

1. Lawmakers put an import tax on trucks, and (perhaps not entirely intentionally) made emission standards for SUVs lower than those for cars.

2. US automakers were getting their ass kicked by foreign imports that were much better made in the car segment, but not in the SUV and truck segment.

3. US automakers decided to heavily promote trucks and SUVs, the segments they were most competitive in. You know, pay to make sure all the characters in that TV show are driving SUVs and whatnot.

4. Lawmakers decided to maintain the state of affairs from 1 because they like US automakers.
> we have reached peak oil, so we're slowly edging towards the threshold at which extracting oil will consume more oil than it produces.

How does that follow?
> I'd guess bigger cars lead to bigger road wear and tear

Yep. To the 3rd or 4th power, depending on where exactly you measure it.

CAFE has two problems. The first, as you've mentioned, is the suspect bifurcation of the standards between regular cars and "light trucks".

The second problem is that the footprint-based formulas used within a category do not reflect the practical utility of the vehicles and let larger cars off easier.

A high-roof compact car like the Honda Fit can comfortably carry 5 people and opens up quite well for transporting a lot of stuff. Because it's small and light, it gets great gas mileage especially on the highway. Yet it's penalized by CAFE because it has a small footprint and so is expected to get unrealistically high fuel economy.

Whereas, a larger sedan like the Honda Civic can also carry 5 people (with some more amenities) but has a paltry trunk that can't be used to transport much more than grocery bags. Even as a hatchback, the roof is a lot lower than in the Fit, so it can transport larger items like furniture, but only if they're flat. Yet it scores better on CAFE because its larger footprint allows it to have more realistic fuel economy.
Sets I've purchased within the past couple of years have not withstood repeated rebuilds. The pieces become too loose and don't stay together.
>>Ford has no compact hatchback or sedan in the U.S., only the Brazilian built EcoSport. They killed all their cars in favour of CUVs and SUVs.

It's worse than regular microplastics. It's 6PPD which is N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine, a lethal non-plastic amine.

In a classical view of 2 particles accelerating towards each other v x r will always be 0 so B will always be 0 even if the particles are accelerating towards each other. I believe all this holds under QFT [1].

Looking further a redefinition E is necessary when including the \beta factor [2]. So that was a mistake on my part - relativity does change the rhs of Coulomb's law.

Admittedly the problem as stated (two particles falling towards each other) constrains things in such a way that there is no off-axis contribution. Or to put it another way, 1d electromagnetism doesn't have magnetism.

If anything, what surprises me is that if there is a product where reuse reigns supreme, that's Legos. A brick has to take a lot of abuse before it gets discarded.
It’s because the recycled option includes the costs that should have been paid by the plastic producers the first time around.

At some point, the societal costs of producing a product or material will be taxed or otherwise accounted for at the time of production.

Until then, the maths is gonna be kind screwy like this.
why? isn’t it better to keep re-using the brick rather than having something that degrades and can’t be passed along due to shoddy quality?
Correlation is not causation. One would expect a physical implementation of an electro-chemical neural net with loops (and consciousness / self-awareness definitely requires loops) to develop voltage biases over time, which require periodic rebalancing to continue operation. This is what brain waves are. You see the structure of the brain wave change when consciousness is chemically turned on or off (anesthesia), because those self-reinforcing loops turn off or change character when the brain is unconscious. It's like noticing that an electrical circuit gives off radio waves, and then trying to locate the behavior of the circuit in those waves because you noticed that when you switched off the device those radio waves disappeared. No, the computation is happening in the circuit; the radio waves are just an unavoidable side product of electric charges moving around.

I'm a physicist by training; I understand what resonance is.

> no serious neuroscientist on the planet currently claims we have a viable mechanistic theory of consciousness yet

This isn't true. There are dozens of mechanistic theories of consciousness: take your pick. We just don't know which one reflects the situation within our own brain, because we lack sufficient understanding of our neural circuitry to make that determination. But having dozens of different possible models and not knowing which one is "right" in the sense of describing our actual brain (while any one of them is a reasonable theory of consciousness for other systems) is very different from not even having a single model of consciousness, as you seem to be implying.

Just so you know, I find this terribly confusing. You see the homepage with your code, then you think "oh, I'll try this editor here..." and then it turns out it's Dot? All examples are written in Dot? Why? Didn't it say "no DSLs"? Didn't it show some TypeScript in the homepage?

It can very easily make people get the wrong idea about what your project is.
The difference in gas mileage between SUVs and sedans is pretty negligible these days. They're mostly just cars with a different body style. And for the most part they're just flat better which is why they've mostly supplanted cars in the market.

It's really trucks that have gotten stupidly big these days.
I think the calculation for the buyer goes something like this:

1) Big cars are safer for their occupants

2) Nothing else matters more than that
In summary, "Give us your money. I promise we provide some benefit". As engineers, they should at least provide some data with this claim. A chart would be nice.

I have heard people lamenting the loss of small trucks for 20 years. There has never been another one as small or as light as a Ford Ranger or Toyota RN Pickup from the 90s. Rangers stopped being made and the Tacoma that replaced the Pickup got larger every model year until it was bigger and heavier than the original Tundra. It really is ridiculous because people love the utility of those smaller, more efficient old trucks. (More efficient relative to their contemporaries, at the very least. Other efficiency improvements would have come to them as well, if they still existed as a category.) Not everyone wants a land barge.
That’s literally the point of regulations and why civilization invented them.

You want to get rid of bad regulations, obviously. You really don’t want to get rid of all regulations.

This is too US-centric. Here's some data for other regions.[1] Worldwide, about 20% of new cars are electric. The EU and UK are above 20%. The US is only around 10%. China is at 40% and climbing rapidly. The advanced countries are going electric rapidly. So are countries willing to import large numbers of cars from China.

Sadly, there's no more a thing called Americans' problem. Like an STD, what are later realized as problems, usually start in the US and then spread across the globe. Not that the rest of the world doesn't have their own crap, but because US media and culture is (one of) the the loudest, what's seen in America is often interpreted as cool and then copied rather readily and quickly. Guns seem to be buckling the trend so far, however.

They actually dropped the Impreza sedan in the latest gen, it’s only the hatchback now.

I always disliked the crosstrek since it’s a heavier Impreza on an already dogged engine but they are/were the only manual version so some people were buying them for that.
Europe shifted culturally, but cultural changes in America take much more time because there's just so much diversity of people spread across such a large landmass. Real change was going to take a long time, and Progressive efforts here to push too far too fast created an equal and opposite reaction that directly led to the populist movement that has been exploited by Donald Trump.

I think that the fact that Europe leans further left than the US is actually part of the problem we have with moving at all— American progressives got impatient to join you and lost the discipline and patience that characterized previous generations' efforts towards change. The approach they've taken instead is entirely ineffective and, as bemoaned by the parent commenter, creates short-lived successes that quickly get rolled back.
Different audiences. 3B1B can be very effective for intuition. It does not, however, prepare you for proofs or anything rigorous or thinking about things in an axiomatic way. For example, it isn't going to provide a basis for anything infinite dimensional.
This is insane lmao. Why not just edit out the line that added into your .zshrc (or by extension the .bashrc) instead of running through all these complicated GUI specific things just to basically rename the file so that ZSH doesn't load it when it runs a shell???

This is exactly why you should learn to use your tools properly, learn just a tiny tiny tiny bit of posix shell (which works for ALL posix shells sh, tcsh, bash, zsh etc...) so that you can understand what the heck is going on.

Like seriously, this is day one stuff. Your shell loads a configuration file and you can set programs to run on start, or configure shell options, set aliases etc... This is nuts man.

Tradeoffs are real. My example displays a few more knobs and yes, it’s more verbose.

I’d say my premise isn’t that “DSLs are bad”, but more along the lines of if a DSL isn’t what you’re looking for, I may have something for you. Particularly if you need your application to generate a view of a graph _during runtime_ so that it is your real-time source of truth.

I find that DSLs and “as code” solutions for several products have their own niche. Take for example Terraform vs Pulumi.

To be fair, even Tim Berners Lee doesn't understand what the :// is for and has apologised for adding it.
The unintended consequences of this would be:

Massive increase in the cost of public transport as buses pass their tax costs onto users.

Massive increase in the cost of freight shipping, which would be passed on to consumers, i.e. everybody, since virtually every part of the economy depends indirectly on freight transport.

It would amount to everybody paying, and thus being more or less equivalent to public funding of roads.
Okay, vtables in 2kb code space?
I still call it a transformer because the inputs are tokenized and computed to produce completions, not from lookups or assembling based on rules.

> Unless I'm missing something.

Only that I said "without taking the LLM approach" meaning tokens aren't scored in high-dimensional vectors, just as far simpler JSON bigrams. I don't think that disqualifies using the term "transformer" - I didn't want to call it a "computer" or a "completer". Have a better word?

> JSON instead of vectors

I did experiment with a low-dimensional vector approach from scratch, you can paste this into your browser console: https://gist.github.com/bennyschmidt/ba79ba64faa5ba18334b4ae...

But the n-gram approach is better, I don't think vectors start to pull away on accuracy until they are capturing a lot more contextual information (where there is already a lot of context inferred from the structure of an n-gram).
Current user of D2, would really love a TypeScript API with Deno support.
The entire Lego company is staffed by purists. I think the reason they took so long getting this done (despite being very higher-educated-Danish which means most employees are very environmentally-everything) is that they didn't manage to get it right until now.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm going to be very surprised if the quality is worse from this.

EDIT: translating this to finance terms: the Lego Group is still majority-owned by the founder's family. This is not your average public company which has to deal with constant shareholder pressure to make More Profit Right Now at the cost of future growth and sustainability. Lego knows that the only reason parents happily pay their obscene prices is because their minds go "well, ok, it's a fortune, but it's also very high-quality stuff". No other toy brand has this reputation. If they'd burn that, it would be the most stupid move in the company's history.

Reducing plastic use is always a good thing but not when for example banning plastic bags results in more use of an alternative that is less "green" ash to ash.

The likelihood of a straw in Switzerland landing in the ocean is practically zero so for example banning them would make little sense when the alternative paper straws had to be imported requiring more CO2 overall.
I love my Bolt EUV, and I don't even need a fast charger to maintain my daily commute. Its always sitting at a nice 150 miles in the tank (about 60% charge, to not stress the battery).
