First of all, passenger-distance per event (or its inverse) is the standard metric used when comparing transportation safety. You would be hard-pressed to find any broad, rigorous comparison that does not compare on that metric. It encodes the risk of a trip to a location of a certain distance. It is absolutely a fair comparison.

Second of all, even if we do use your metric which only cares about passenger-trips per event it still does not matter. The Shinkansen has transported ~6.4 billion people since inception. As seen in the second link I provided above, US commercial aviation serves ~900 million passengers per year. So, that is 7 years of US commercial aviation to transport the same number of people the Shinkansen has ever transported. As seen on the third link the last 7 years (2016-2022) had ~6 fatalities and as seen on the fourth link the last 7 years (2015-2021) had 2 fatalities compared to the 1 fatality on the Shinkansen.

Third of all, given that the Shinkansen has transported ~6.4 billion people, but averages 150 million people per year and ~60 billion passenger-miles per year, we can reasonably conclude that I overestimated at ~3.6 trillion passenger-miles and it would likely actually be ~2.4 trillion passenger miles or just 2.5 years of US aviation. From the third link that would be a mere 1 fatality and from the fourth link 0-1 fatalities.

If we extend our analysis to the last decade the third link indicates 15 fatalities over ~10 trillion passenger miles, ~2x the Shinkansen rate, and the fourth link indicates 2 fatalities over ~10 trillion passenger miles, ~50% the Shinkansen rate. Again, broadly comparable, but it is hard to truly tell which one is "safer" than the other. And again, they are clearly in the same ballpark and not dramatically different as you implied.

The thing is....we have a Volkswagen e-Up as our second car. Gets around 120-150 miles range at most. And you know what? In the 3 years that I owned it, I never got even close to running out. Never had to fast charge it either, simply because we never took it on any journey longer than that range. And yet we use it literally every day. And I suspect for most people in situation similar to ours, the same would be true - you just don't drive more than ~120 miles in a regular day just going to work and back and dropping kids off at school and going shopping. So Dacia Spring is actually fantastic for that segment - it doesn't need to have that long distance capability, because most people don't need it.

Interesting to see that Atari did complete their notebook project. As far as I know (note: might be decades of internet tall tales), Commodore was also trying to get one rolling, but eventually gave up and released merely a small factor breadbox system, the A600, albeit shipped with ready support for internal hard drives, as well as the then barely standardized PCMCIA interface.

> You can't outpace investment demand - especially not in the phase when housing is used as collateral to borrow in order to invest in more housing.

Huh? What kind of weird statement is this?

It seems there's a lot of confusion. I think it mostly stems from owner-occupiers.

For our analysis, let's separate them into two: some people own houses and rent them out, and everyone (but the homeless) rent houses. It's just that sometimes people rent from themselves.

What matters for discussions about affordability of housing is how much of your income you have to spend each month on housing every month. Let's call that 'housing services'. That is pretty much a function of available supply every month vs demand every month. Who owns them doesn't make a difference.

If an investor buys a house, but rents it out, that's fine. Neither supply of housing services nor demand for housing services has changed. If an investor buys a house, but doesn't rent it out (eg because it's intentionally empty, or because the investor lives there herself), then she counts as a consumer of that unit for that month. That's an indirect change in supply and demand for housing services, but doesn't directly have anything to do with the investor as a owner.

Now to come to your scenario:

If investors use houses as collateral to invest in more housing, that's great! Ideally that will drive up the prices of housing as a capital god.

The more expensive houses are as a capital good, the more it makes sense for developers to jump through all the hoops and build more houses to sell them into the market. That means more houses available for renting out, which drives down rents.

(In the wake of the Great Recession, we had and have the opposite problem: tightening of credit dropped house prices, thus house construction was choked off, and thus rents rose. The ratio of rents to house prices went up, and rents also went up in absolute terms.)
In Europe at least, the subsidies are for any electric car, not just European made cars.
This wasn't an "issue", it was working as intended. The GPLv3 client intentionally depended on proprietary code. The CTO's comments on bitwarden/clients#11611, bitwarden/sdk#898 and fdroid/fdroiddata!15353 make it clear this was deliberate. They've now changed their stance because of the backlash.

It looks to me like people expressed genuine concerns about being lied to by a company, one they'd trusted with their passwords no less. Calling it "feigned outrage" is a bit rude.

I'm not sure what the ride quality has to do with that - it's 100% down to the suspension setup and choices made by the manufacturer, regardless of the drive train. You can have a small city car with amazing plush suspension, and a big long distance cruiser saloon with break-my-back suspension because for some reason the manufacturer made it "sporty" and "nurburgring tuned" - different strokes for different folks.

I have a Sony similar to the one mentioned at the end of the article (Edit: TC FX 420R https://www.cassettedeck.org/sony/tc-fx420r). It's been a bit of a journey, replacing the power supply so it can run at 230V, replacing belts, and fixing the autoreverse. It is fairly user serviceable but you need to have a degree of knowledge, a steady hand, and a soldering iron and other tools. Also you'll want to check you can download the schematics and service manual before you buy. That was a huge help for this Sony.

Looks really cool when it's running, but not massively practical unless you have lots of tapes that you took good care of.

Edit: And it's going to need recapping one day.

The commenter you replied to makes the mistake of mistaking the price of houses as a capital good with the monthly rent you pay for housing services.

If you want lots of new houses being built, high house prices are good. That incentivises developers to jump through all the hoops, build some houses, and sell them.

(In the wake of the Great Recession, we had and have the opposite problem: tightening of credit dropped house prices, thus house construction was choked off, and thus rents rose. The ratio of rents to house prices went up, and rents also went up in absolute terms.)
I think they could start with not destroying hospitals and schools and doing better than “at least 1/3 of the 40k people killed were militants.” Israel , the most moral army in the world /s, thinks that two citizens killed for every militant killed is an acceptable ratio, it’s not.

There are no price caps. If you're rich, you have concierge medicine, and you'll see a great specialist whenever you want. The supply restrictions (and other things that reduce doctor productivity) cause a lack of supply relative to the amount of medical care that would be medically useful for the population. For people of normal income with normal medical insurance, that means that their care has to be rationed, or it would be unaffordable.

I don't know, I think most people just want a cheap car. Dacia sold an absolute metric tonne of the Sandero and Duster, and these cars didn't even have AC in the base spec for the longest time. A basic cheap EV would do the same(and in fact it does already - Dacia offers the Spring following the same philosophy, apparently it is selling really well).
Another way to understand dithering is by smearing the frequency spectrum of the original image preventing extreme frequency values to distort the image after quantization - this can be done by applying kernel filters on the original image.

Which I think is what is happening with SpinQuant as well - a smoothing of the frequency spectrum of the model weights, confirmed by the smearing of the singular values of the weight matrices.

Three big downturns for me:

1) They do not publish rationale of why the world needs yet another protocol / language / framework on the homepage. It is hidden in https://typeschema.org/history

2) In the history page, they confuse strongly typed and statically typed languages. I have a prejudice about people doing this.

3) The biggest challenge about data models is not auto-generated code (that many people would avoid in principle anyway), but compressed, optimized wire serialization. So you START with selecting this for your application (eg. AVRO, CapnProto, MessagePack etc) and then use the schema definition language coming with the serialization tool you've chosen.

Do these give you decent performance DMA-able gpio and spi like you get even on a cheap rpi4? (I'm not claiming they don't/can't, just that it isn't immediately obvious to me that they would.)

For example, spi is an easy hack to bit sample a digital level and stream the results into memory for later processing. You can effortless do this at 20MHz+ plus on an rpi4. When you want to stream multiple digital levels simultaneously (in sync), DMA on gpio is a nice generalisation. (Could perhaps abuse I2S inputs too, which might be present on a more generic x86 board?)

I always wonder about a nice PCIe board supporting good DMAable gpio/spi/i2c/etc on standard x86 machines. I'd probably pay a fair amount of money for a quality one. But it's a product I've never seen on the market. Bodging a USB gpio interfaces with one of the relatively low spec chipsets seem like a pale, inefficient and high-latency imitation.

Actually, given the RP1, maybe the rpi5 has slow/non-DMA gpio too? I haven't been able to check it out yet as these boards still don't have mainlined linux support and I'm not up for buying toys that don't. (Am I imagining it, or did they used to be a lot better at mainlining support for their boards promptly?)

If a corporation has operations in a given country including a physical presence and employees and everything, then the profits connected to those operations are absolutely taxable there, regardless of where that entity is incorporated or where its securities are traded or anything like that.

From that perspective, the U.S. operations of a European firm look to the U.S. taxman very similar to the U.S. operations of a U.S. firm, and vice-versa.

The revenues of such operations are usually easy to work out, but the cost-side can be pretty difficult if it's globally distributed and double-taxation treaties are also pretty difficult. This is where transfer pricing and flag of convenience shenanigans come in, allowing these megacorporations to evade the taxman.

It's not like the political will to fix this stuff is not there, but it requires coordinated action from nation-state players, which is not that easy to accomplish.

So, instead, you get these populist governments pandering to their base by going certain things alone in a way that almost certainly backfires economically.

I don't know anyone who bought a car because it's "sexy" maybe other than one friend of mine who bought an Alfa Romeo Gulia because it "looks cool" - the argument that it's just a rebranded Fiat Punto never really worked on her unfortunately.

I second this. I'm not a full vegetarian or especially an advocate, but I decided 8 years ago to stop eating red meat and my health has worked out just fine. It's very possible to live a full life without consuming beef and pork, and while it's harder to cut chicken out, I personally believe cows perceive their situations more clearly than chickens. Additional benefit: this automatically removes most processed meats from your diet.
> Also, allowing hoarding of housing (viable since no property tax) can also restrict supply.

I don't see how property tax makes any difference here?

The opportunity cost in terms of lost rent (if you are hoarding vacant property instead of renting it out) should be the same no matter what the property tax is?

> There are plenty of reasons why more housing doesn’t necessarily lead to cheaper housing.

If you can find a market that you can keep adding supply into, and prices don't react, you found yourself an infinite money machine!

(It's the same mechanism as when people complained that printing money (whether by the Bank of Japan in the 1990s or the Fed in the 2010) can't raise inflation:

Instead of complaining, you should keep printing money and gradually buy up the whole world in return for some ink and paper / database entries.)

> It would be bad policy to have talented people train intensely for 8+ years, only to have them emerge on the other side with a "sorry, oversupply, no job for you."

"Oversupply" isn't a thing in the absence of price controls. If there are more doctors then they get paid less and because they get paid less there is more work for them. Medical research or labor-intensive treatment or diagnostics that wouldn't have been cost effective at higher salaries becomes so and it creates more jobs for doctors at the lower salary.

Of course, if doctor salaries get too low then fewer people want to become doctors, and fewer people going to medical school would cause salaries to go back up. So you end up at an equilibrium where doctors get paid the amount necessary to encourage people to go to medical school, but not wastefully more than that.

I am honestly surprised at these numbers!

A little story from personal experience.

Most people think of feature flags as boolean on/off switches, maybe per user on/off switches.

If one is testing shades of colors for a "But Now!" button that may be OK. Regarding more complex tests my experience is that there are not a lot of users who tolerate experiments. Our solution was to represent feature flags as thresholds. We assigned a decimal number [0.0, 1.0) to each user (we called it courage) and a decimal number [0.0, 1.0] to a feature flags (we called it threshold). That way not only we enabled more experimental features for most experiment tolerant users, but these were the same users, so we could observe interaction between experimental features too. Also deploying a feature was as simple as rising it's threshold up to 1.0. User courage was 0.95 initially and could be updated manually. We tried to regenerate it daily based on surveys, but without much success.

Look beyond the common explanations. Russia is not an unreasonable or irrational actor. There’s context you’re missing, I think.

When you lay the blame all on one side you justify war.

Anyway, the bigger picture is that no human society is free of war, blood and death. This is not a group-unique problem. It is a whole of humanity problem.

Keeping that in mind, i.e. the geopolitical version of the hacker news rule remember the human, might actually pave the path to peace.

To resolve a genuine conflict you probably need each party to take 100% responsibility.
Hence the term 'deceptively'.

Even if a sufficiently advanced proof assistant could internally maintain and propagate constraints up through functions (eg. 'vec must not alias x'), your point about small imprecisions cascading into large false positives is well made.

Bottom up constraints become increasingly difficult to untangle the further away they get from their inception, whereas top down rules such as "no mutable aliasing" are much easier to reason about locally.
