Pools are expensive to build and they almost always need chemicals and filters to be safe to swim in making them expensive to run. Where there are natural lakes/streams/ponds they are typically safe to swim in and much cheaper.

Which is to say anywhere pools are the primary place people swim, they will be few, small, and generally overcrowded (and also expensive). If you live where there are natural places to swim you will generally find it better, but many places don't give you those options.
And how many people actively do that? It's very rare we experience brilliance and often we stumble upon it by accident. Irrational behavior, coincidence or perhaps they were dropped on their heads when they were young.
70% of people who voted for Hillary Clinton said that they voted against Trump, not for her. And people don't vote for whatever candidate is closer to them on the left-right spectrum, they care about personality, about how the candidate makes them feel. In those terms Trump was extremely polarizing, many people whose policies were closer to Trump than Clinton voted for Clinton because Trump was, as a person, unacceptable.

Besides, there are people who just don't vote if your platform or personality is not engaging. That was a big phenomenon with Clinton and is generally what decided whether or not Democrats win: the higher the turnout, the higher their chances. If a Democrat runs to the right, they lose turnout from leftwing voters who stay home, they don't (just) win votes from the center.

Also, Clinton did win the popular vote, despite all of this.

> Nuclear is so out of the running economically that even with the (rapidly falling) cost of dealing with intermittency, renewables come out ahead.

Only if you do the funny math of LCOE. Because in the real world, in terms of system wide costs, this is laughable opposite to reality. More intermitent renewables -> Higher electricity bills, more grid instability.

And no, storage costs are not even close to be economically viable.

The biggest battery systems are able at most to cover the demand of a metropolitan area for a few hours by themselves. What you do in the winter on moderate to higher latitudes with fewer hours of daylight and the sun down in the horizon with very few wind?
unlike with computers, there's some pretty obvious barriers that limit the efficiency of supersonic airplanes. your volume has a strict lower bound from the size of passengers and luggage, your engines have a lower bound since there's only so much air you can push against, and your drag has a lower bound of a perfectly smooth aerofoil that produces lift and can fit the people and luggage. Even if you take the most optimistic assumptions that didn't violate physics, your fuel burn isn't going to be reasonable.

> Stock buybacks used to be illegal in the States up until 1982. You can thank Raegan for that too

This is not true, but seems to come up a lot. I guess it makes for one of those fun "internet facts" that people like to repeat without any investigation. Bonus points for blaming Reagan.

Stock buybacks were not illegal before 1982. If you sit down even think through it, it doesn't even make sense they were illegal. Just like issuing new shares (or doing a stock split), companies have legitimate business needs to buy back stock (reduce the quantity of outstanding shares).

What happened in 1982 was that the government made Rule 10b-18, which outlined the "safe harbor" requirements for stock buybacks, where if followed, the company could not be found liable for stock manipulation.

https://www.skadden.com/-/media/files/publications/2020/03/t...

So stock buy backs were legal before 1982, but companies faced a risk of stock manipulation if they were reckless in how they did it.

That is a misinterpretation of what was said. I did not say all complexity is needless nor did I claim to have the one panacea.

I presented my story of how we've actively kept our architecture simple, and noted we've had very few issues. I did not say our architecture is the architecture for everyone.

Then I said

> People really love adding needless complexity in my experience

If the complexity is legally mandated, as in healthcare, it's by no means "needless". Legal compliance is a need.

If the complexity is justified, has merit or value, it's not "needless".

However, I've known a fair number of people who work on complicated kubernetes driven architectures that give them non-stop grief, and whose user base max out at ten-twenty active users.

My point is just don't make things more complex than they need to be.
> The fears about nuclear war or weapons falling into terrorists' hands turned out unfounded.

They're controlled by Putin. There is a pretty solid argument that his inner circle is a mafia with nuclear weapons. What ended up happening is only a few shades improved on terrorists; it isn't particularly encouraging to have dictators with weapons that powerful.

> Hundreds of thousands of people are dead, millions of lives ruined, entire cities flattened, occupied areas littered with mass graves...

If anyone had responded to the US invasions by escalating them to proxy wars the US would have the same blood on their hands. That is in fact one of my main points here - the decision to support the Ukrainians and try to bleed the Russians out was when most of the damage was committed to. The precedent here is the UN sends thoughts & prayers, the Ukraine government gets blatted and we all move on a la the Afghan or Iraq invasions. Ugly affairs, morally devastating but not quite the level of destruction that the US engineered in Ukraine.

But not only did the west decided this was a good one to escalate from disaster to bloodbath, but we seem to be pushing the limit to find out if we can make the Russians really angry. There is almost no way that is a good idea, there isn't a limit to how far this can escalate.

Agreed, but the problem is if these things replace practitioners (what every MBA wants them to do), it's going to wreck the industry. Or maybe we'll get paid $$$$ to fix the problems they cause. GPT-4 introduced me to window functions in SQL (haven't written raw SQL in over a decade). But I'm experienced enough to look at window functions and compare them to subqueries and run some tests through the query planner to see what happens. That's knowledge that needs to be shared with the next generation of developers. And LLMs can't do that accurately.

While city folks like to blame farmers for the problems in Iowa, the soil in Iowa naturally makes nitrates which runs off into the streams after every rain. We have death reports from the early 1800s that on rereading with a modern eye make it clear that the problem was drinking water with high nitrates. This is both what makes Iowa such great farm country, and what makes streams harmful.

Not that fertilizer isn't making things worse (though sometimes it makes things better - farmers don't want their expensive fertilizer to wash away and so look for ways to keep it on the field), but it isn't the whole story.
I think we're talking past each other.

Build constraints with "//go:build" already exist, I'm not making them up or proposing something new: https://pkg.go.dev/go/build#hdr-Build_Constraints

This has nothing to do with preprocessor spaghetti, which is impossible in Go. Either a file is included or it is excluded. Neither with file naming nor "//go:build" can you cause only portions of a file to be compiled.

Really, the _tag.go mechanism is just a very simple kind of build constraint, equivalent to "//go:build tag". The problem is that it relies on a magic list of known build tags, and the contents of that list change over time. Apart from _test.go, which is a little too convenient to give up in my opinion, the rest of the tags could be pushed into build constraints, or at the very least, the list of known build tags could be frozen in its current state.

Yeah, a solution to the counting letters problem would probably be encoding the letters into the large embeddings by probably adding a really small loss and a small classification model on the embeddings so that it would learn to encode the letters into the embeddings (but they probably don't care that much, they would rather scale the model).

Europe may be too wide a categorization, I am pretty sure that different countries have different ways to deal with the matter.

My (thankfully very little) experience in Italy is for civil litigations at least (where it is rare that one of the two parties get 100% reason) expenses are usually compensated (i.e. every party pays their own ones), in the more rare case where all expenses are paid by the succumbing party, what is liquidated is not really what has been paid, but rather what the expenses would be along some sort of tariff.

Why restricted? With very few exceptions (i.e. path to and from emergency services) you can hop anywhere into the lake.

At least, within city limits.

The more I think about the more I feel that this is the wrong solution to the problem. Disclaimer: I'm doing a small open source espresso controller project, check it out if you're interested, but it's not ready for prime time yet: https://github.com/variegated-coffee.

My thinking is that this machine appeals mostly to people who already has an espresso machine. It's not particularly technologically advanced. It's a single boiler, an E61 group and a vibratory pump. If you're buying this machine, you're probably replacing a machine at a similar technology level, and that's not really a sustainable choice.

A well maintained espresso machine has a lifespan in the range of decades. Many recent innovations in espresso machines is mostly controllers, sensors and actuators. Also better pumps. These are all things that can easily be retrofitted to an older espresso machine.

There has been innovation in other areas not easily retrofittable (saturated groups, dual boilers instead of heat-exchangers, to name a few), but this machine doesn't really feature any of those.

I strongly believe that in this particular demographic, it's a much better (more sustainable, cheaper and all around more fun) idea to retrofit new and advanced parts to the espresso machine they presumably already have, than to buy a whole new machine. We don't need old espresso machines on landfills.

On the off chance that a prospective buyer doesn't already have a similar espresso machine, this isn't too bad of a choice, and the price is decent, but on the other hand, there are a lot of used machines on the market that are looking for a new owner and can be upgraded.
