There is a huge difference between "this cash in my hand should never go down in value" (which nobody including the GP is arguing for) and "$1 today has the purchase power of $0.05 a century ago is good, or at the very least the natural state of things" (which you may or may not be arguing, but is how I understood it).
In this discussion of a specific point in the post, the promise of Hylo language and mutable value semantics can be overlooked.

Namely, we get a lot of the convenience of functional programming (mutating one variable doesn't change any other variable) with the performance of imperative languages (purely functional data structures have higher costs relative to in-place mutation and are more gc-intensive).

Assuming they're safe and cheaper than current Ubers/taxis? Yeah I'd be fairly okay with it. I don't think it's necessarily ideal, but I definitely can't relate with "completely disgusting", personally.

Public transit is nice and all but walking to and then waiting around at bus stops (especially in bad weather), squeezing into a crowded bus or train, stopping at intermediate stops, making transfers... there's definitely downsides. I don't use Uber/Lyft/Waymo often but I have to admit walking outside and having a climate-controlled, comfortable ride right there, which takes you straight to where you're going, is pretty nice. If it cost less and was more eco-friendly I'd probably use it more; we'll see if they can tackle that.

I think old peoples inward focus is more a result of their physical condition than the amount of time they have been alive.

If you could put an 80 year olds mind in a 20 year old body they would probably approach life with the same optimism of other young people.

I think our behavior is more a product of our environment than some internal 'self' that is built over our lifetime. If you altered the environment from "75 years old, achy and slow body, limited future" to "25 years old, infinite future, healthy body" I would be amazed if there was not a humongous shift in behavior as well.

The stereotype that anyone who represents themselves in court must be a soverign loon or think they're Will Hunting is one reason I did not do so. It is not ideal, but neither is not having access to the justice system due to not having a bunch of money to burn.

> 3.5 times the current minimum wage would be $16.28 * 3.5 * 160hrs * 12 or ~109k / yr, before the minimum wage increases here again in January.

That's low, you should estimate by total hours over the year, and not an assumption of just 4 weeks per month (you're losing 4 weeks of pay that way). The average work hours per year at 40 hours/week is 2087 (this is the number the federal government uses). Calculating your salary based on that you would get $118,917.26/year as the minimum salary.

Ironically, I don't think it's usually the frustrated minimum wage earners using this holier than thou language. It's generally journalists and academics, and indeed the author is a former journalism professor. When someone struggling to get by does say something that I think is ridiculous like "eat the rich", I keep my judgement at a minimum.

> Ironically enough, that you cannot see past the emotional language and describe the quote as "alienating me" also demonstrate an lack of empathy for me

I wouldn't be surprised if I actually have below-average empathy, but unfortunately for you, people like us still get to vote, and shame isn't a great way to get support on controversial issues. Anyways, your choice in language has real utility, so it's not really a matter of whether or not I'm empathetic. I support welfare as a social safety net, but not welfare solely for the sake of redistribution of wealth. If the political camp that is advocating for welfare is using language that suggests the second purpose of welfare, then I'm less inclined to support them.
Ok the diversity statement thing seems pretty actionable. Hard to say about hollywood I guess bc its feels very subjective: one guy's "woke" is always going to be another's "fun/wholesome" or whatever.

But for the universities ok, this is at least a thing we can hold onto. It's a little rough to implicitly associate the "diversity" considered in hiring/enrolling at a school with the evil professors, because the entire argument then quite easily contracts down to: "there are too many non-white academics, and that is the real problem." But I guess the whole point is to free ourselves from such silly concerns like racism, institutional or otherwise.

Either way, I just hope they/you get what you want. I used to be worried that this whole thing would spiral too much into violence, but its easy to see now that all the people who care about the "wokeness" are, yeah, exactly like creationists: they just want to feel represented, they just want the blurb in the textbook; its not so much about the world outside, but just how they feel about it; that its ok for them to be angry about the kids sports team or whatever. People want to be principled!

I am truly hopeful at this point they will eventually find some peace while still allowing everyone to live with some self-determination and everything else. Its a little long in the tooth now, but hopefully the recent political ascendency will temper it a bit.

> I mean, what is the exact problem that's being solved here?

There are people that will pay you to give them a ride from point A to point B; Google has developed a cheaper and more scalable way to give people a ride from point A to point B.

> Ride-hailing workers were already often working for less than minimum wage.

And now Google made them way more productive, what leads to some combination of higher wages, lower prices, and higher profits. The government there has a moderate amount of control over the proportion, it's not clear to me what values it will pick.

> If the problem is efficiently moving people around in a city

Nah, it's certainly not. But if you solve that one, Google will be forced to pivot into efficiently moving people into and out of a city, and they can add a lot of value there.

Is this true? The few net worth government statistics I can find from a quick google search point at median net worth, excluding house equity, to be significantly higher than $1k, so I wonder what I am missing. Is the implication that a person with $100k in their 401k still cannot cash flow $1k in an emergency? Totally happy to be educated.

Would love to see some data, as anecdotally, living in the Bay Area, I cannot at all relate to your comment given the massive amount of wealth virtually anyone I know has. People routinely drop $1k on a couple of mid-tier restaurant dinners around here (restaurant prices show that a drink these days is $25, crazy, good thing I stopped consuming alcohol), which I do understand is an outlier. Thanks.

> Ride-hailing workers were already often working for less than minimum wage.

That's the problem. People want taxis. Taxi drivers are both underpaid and also expensive. Removing the driver is a very expensive research process, but once you've done it and rolled out the solution nationally, you're saving a lot of money.

And you're also creating a huge moat against competition. Say Google "finishes" self-driving cars, stops needing to spend nearly as much money on researching/developing the software, and mostly has figured out scaling. It's now far cheaper for Google to drive around than Uber. They can easily charge less than basically everyone who isn't willing to spend billions developing self-driving cars.
> how are you supposed to move the contents of the struct without copying anything?

By taking the physical page this one struct resides in, and mapping it into the virtual address space the second time. This approach is usually used in the kernel-level development, but there has been a lot of research done since the seventies on how to use it in runtimes for high-level programming languages.

Now, it does involve copying an address of this struct from one place to another, that I cede.
Making something on a small budget often means smaller returns as well. A large game studio would rather make a couple of billion on a huge AAA game than spread themselves across a dozen projects which collectively won't make the same returns - even if each one is profitable. This is the same reason that movie studios love chasing a few massive blockbusters instead of investing in a bunch of smaller projects.

At the end of the day some of this comes down to market incentives. A public company is expected to grow. For a gaming company this means either shipping more games or bigger games. If you ship more games, at some point you start cannibalizing your own sales (e.g. how many different shooters can you make that would have non-overlapping audiences?) so you go bigger.

Notice this affliction doesn't affect some of the more successful private, indie studios. Supergiant Games has shipped a pretty long string of hits, but the level of production for each one is relatively constant - they're not aiming for "AAA" graphics or scale.

> Chasing fads is the laziest thing you can do, because it's easy to present to management/investors.

Totally true, but at the end of the day you have to convince someone to spend $200,000,000+ on development. You need something concrete to point at as a reason why you'll be successful.

When I ask an LLM to write code for me and it references a completely made up library that doesn't exist and has never existed, is this really analogous to your dice example?
