> Assume a 20% ROI, which is very low but easy to calculate.

20% net ROI sounds a bit high for renewables from 20 years ago, do you have any source?

> You do know that the full cost including investment for renewables with a 10-20 year ROI are about equal to what running paid off nuclear plant costs

Source? Cost of electricity in France being lower than Germany seems to imply otherwise. And that's ignoring the need for storage in a fully renewable grid.

> Private investors are all over renewables?

Exactly, private investors are all over short-term profitable ventures. They won't be all over something which requires multiple decades to become profitable.

In principle those external dependencies could be rolled together into one document and produce something truly freestanding. Once one decides to inline everything, opportunities arise to produce something simpler and more coherent.
Clearly not everyone agrees with your opinion. Calling it "very hard obvious fact" changes nothing. Maybe add some caps, see if that helps.

Are you not worried in any way about needing to answer everything with "no"? Is this a discussion or are we here to be told by you what the truth is?
> They evolved out of warehouse guards and slave patrols.

This is not accurate.

The timeframe is not wrong; it is true that the concept of the modern police, at least in the US, was largely based on the Peelian model created in London in the 1820s. But saying it evolved from "warehouse guards and slave patrols" is ahistorical. Most modern police forces modeled after London's Metropolitan Police replaced night watch systems that have been around for literally all of recorded history.

One could say the same about a combustion engine, really. Battery packs last way, way longer than most people think because they analogise it to phone batteries which are quite different. The resale value of a degraded pack is also going to be higher than most people assume, I think. Unfortunately we have not had plentiful EVs with good battery packs for long enough to show this to the average consumer.
The point was to compare a fat standard library model with a model of many dedicated third party libraries. Sure, all big projects suffer from this, I'm not trying to single Rust out. But both Rust and those other projects have to learn from this that the model is bad.

Having a large and good standard library, supplied by a single trustworthy foundation, with dedicated employees that check incoming PRs, is going to become more and more important in the following years.

The "receivers" are just other machines in your data center. Their number is determined by the workload, same as always. Adding more will tend to increase traffic.

I'm not a datacenter expert, but is "not enough ports" really a showstopper? It just sounds like bad planning to me. And still not a protocol issue.
How does it help the tax payers to have a 40 million dollar asset on display?

Even if it has appreciated after adjusting for inflation (and I'm sure it has), what is the National Gallery's possession of that piece of canvas, oil and pigment doing to help the taxpayers with anything that concerns them in either 1989 or 2024?

In any event, this is a huge digression from the topic. I never meant to start a conversation about whether or not tax dollars should be used to purchase art, and what kind of art. The discussion is what makes art 'good' or 'bad'. And Voices of Fire was controversial in 1989 and still is ... because many Canadians are like "why do rich people pay money for this kind of stuff?"
> Acting against of one's own best long-term interests

Acting against one's best interests is based on judgment and is fundamentally subjective. You are making dubious judgments without much apparent self-reflection and missing key things (and many things you and I cannot know).

Let's flip it around. You seem to be taking an "establishment" view of the world. You seem to have done well within it (I assume, you have Dr. in your name and they are very much part of the elite in western society, even if they are not the pinnacle of wealth). You don't understand why other people like this family (or "modern-day homeless") would reject what you take to be the way of world and not "act in their best interests".

But what if someone recognized that our society is polluting the world and decided to no longer participate (either by fleeing, or by just dropping out and living on the streets). They are no longer producing or consuming the garbage that is polluting the planet. They could claim, as validly (and perhaps more so), that you are not acting in your best interests by continuing to participate in this destructive system.

We can imagine (and even find in reality) thousands of similar arguments.

I think it is good that you voiced your concerns, but I also think it would be best if you reflected on them and reconsidered your beliefs and become more skeptical and philosophical about your own judgment.

It sounds like you may have left Iran (or other religiously affiliated oppressive regime). If that is the case, I understand how that regime would loom large in your thoughts about religion, power dynamics, suffering, etc, but be careful not to project it into places where it can obscure other considerations.

Regardless, you included "modern-day homeless" in your comments, and I doubt you would say that they are driven by religious zeal.
This is a great idea! I had thought about doing this with a lisp interpreter. I had identified a few key advantages:

- homogenous allocation means no alignment gaps
- linear access win in garbage collection
- indices smaller than pointers
- type discriminated index can save some size

I haven’t verified whether those actually work out in the details. I’ll read your blog article.

Don’t bother with these comments immediately comparing it to V8 (a multi billion dollar venture). I don’t know how many creative projects they’ve done before.

Im intrigued.. Is this not done just with a phonemizer?

from phonemizer.phonemize import phonemize

text = "hello world"
variations = [
phonemize(text, backend="espeak", language="en-us", strip=True),
phonemize(text, backend="espeak", language="en-gb", strip=True),
phonemize(text, backend="espeak", language="en-au", strip=True),
]

I mean, espeak isnt the best but a lot of folks in the ASR/Speech world still are using this right?

(NB: If you are on iOS check out the inbuilt one - Settings -> Accessibility -> Spoken Content -> Pronounciations. Adding one it has the ability to phonemize to IPA your spoken message. If someone can tell me where that SDK/API is they use in that I'd love to know)
for i, variation in enumerate(variations, 1):

“Best practices” have nothing to do with engineering. They are a marketing concept. They are a kind marketing better known as bullying.

In every case where you want to say “best practice” there is a better alternative, which is to say “practice.” The concept of best is never needed or warranted, because practices are not subject to rigorous testing and review.

I have been an independent consultant and trainer since 1999 and not once have I taught or recommended a best practice.

I do have many opinions. I call them: opinions. I think my opinions are the best, but I can’t think of any reason that anyone else beyond my wife and dog should think so.

Another factor not mentioned is that Bhutan is a tiny and quite isolated country; it's not at all unexpected that young people, who now have the means to go to other countries, would do so. It's a pretty natural thing. It's also possible that a number will return at some point -- enough time hasn't passed to see how this plays out.
The 'transmission' on a hybrid is often no more complicated than the 'transmission' on an EV, many (but not all... looking at you, Hyundai) are much more simple than ICE vehicles.

Also, for the duration that most new car buyers own any car, any difference of maintenance liability of even a traditional ICE vehicle is close to negligible. Most new car buyers pay for a couple of years of fluid changes, tires, and brakes... then they trade in the car. They're going to pay similar costs no matter the architecture.
It will never happen outside of limited industries because it would appear to be a loss of "freedom". I think the current situation creates an illusory anarchist freedom of informality that leads to sometimes proprietary lock-in, vulnerabilities, bugs, incompatibility churn, poorly-prioritized feature development, and tyranny of chaos and tech debt.

There are too many languages, too many tools, too many (conflicting) conventions (especially ones designed by committee), and too many options.

Having systems, tools, and components that don't change often with respect to compatibility and are formally-verifiable far beyond the rigor of seL4 such that they are (basically) without (implementation) error would be valuable over having tools lack even basic testing or self-tests, lack digital signatures that would prove chain-of-custody, and being able to model and prove a program or library to a level such that its behavior can be completely checked far more deeply in "whitebox" and "blackbox" methods for correctness would prove that some code stand the test of time. By choosing lesser numbers of standard language(s), tool(s), and component(s) it makes it cheaper and easier to attempt to do such.

Maybe in 100 years, out of necessity, there will be essentially 1 programming language that dominates all others (power law distribution) for humans, and it will be some sort of formal behavioral model specification language that an LLM will generate tests and machine code to implement, manage, and test against.

Indices that try to capture aspects of life other than money have also been made, such as Human Development Index [1]. Europe and North America lead these too. Nobody thinks Bhutan, on average, is a better place to live in than Norway. It might be better for a particular person due to cultural and familial reasons, but ceteris paribus Norway is better in all aspects.

>Bhutan's economy is growing, but it still has a nominal GDP per capita of only $3,700. Their youth unemployment rate is 16%, but 24% in urban areas. For all the talk of gross national happiness, it's hard to imagine a young person feeling happy in a poor country with very limited opportunities for upward mobility.

Is it really that hard to imagine? For someone not flooded by continuous stream of advertisements about how far better would be their live if they could buy the next crap the wonderful market planned with obsolescence included, it’s not that hard to imagine the lake of "upward mobility" as a barrier to live happily.
Who scoops us their gas contract, the Netherlands? Or the sneaky Belgians?
Yeah this (along with the "billion headaches" inanity) rests on a fallacy: insisting an abstraction can be measured as a quantity when it clearly cannot. This trick is usually done by blindly averaging together some concrete quantities and claiming it represents the abstraction. The illusion is fostered by "local continuity" of these abstractions - if pulling your earlobe causes suffering, pulling harder causes more suffering. And of course the "mathiness" gives an aura of rigor and rationality. But a terrible error in quantitative reasoning occurs when you break locality: going from pulled earlobe to emotional loss, or pulled earlobe to pulled antennae, etc. The very nature of the abstraction - "suffering," "badness," - changes between entities and situations, so the one formula cannot possibly apply.

You can verify it with a simple algorithm, but that verification won't always be cheap. If it was, curry-howard would be incredibly uninteresting. It only seems cheap because we usually have little interest in exploring the expensive theorems. Sometimes we do though and get things like the 4 color theorem whose proof verification amounts to combinatorial search.

I had the same thought. You can actually look up the inflation data by category:

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/find-me-the-cpi-inflation-d...

New cars actually match the total average inflation the closest of any categories (22.3% for new cars vs 22.1% all items). Also interesting to note that food is up 30.7%, transport is up 39.5 % and shelter is up 27.6% in the past 5 years!

Perhaps when you or I have a hard time imagining them being happy, its more our imagination's fault than anything! I know there is no escaping cold hard capitalism, and a "happiness index" is a little cringey, but I don't think any situation would preclude their intentions here. Other than that, its up to you I guess to believe or not the data instruments (and the people) that are saying they are happy!

GDP is not a good measure of whether people have their needs met or not, doesn't factor in COL
