You've made the, "If you don't like the oppression here, move to Somalia" argument. If you don't like the way that cities are mismanaged, abandon them. We could also stop mismanaging them, as an alternative.

> From the little I understand the Japanese model is close to what I proposed about buying up land and creating a new urban area from scratch.

Japan had a king-hell housing crisis in the 1980s and solved it by liberalizing zoning and permitting, quashing NIMBY vetos, easing parking, setback and height requirements. Today in Tokyo, families earning median incomes can actually afford to own a home in Tokyo. That is something that can't be said of New York, LA, Boston, San Francisco, Paris, London, and to a growing degree, the middle sized cities across the US. Restrictions on land use drive up the price of housing. This should not be shocking. They also create a list of negative unintended consequences I already mentioned.

America creates new housing on the model of turning pasture and desert into tract-houses and strip malls, that has been known for decades to make things worse.

> So as I said, that is actually legally still on the table in the US.

"If you don't like the violent coercion that keeps poor people poor, you are free to move to the desert." But we already own houses in a city where no one can afford the rent. Why can't we replace the building on our land with one that is actually appropriate to people's needs? [0]

> In the US, over 60% of people have a mortgage [1]

A mortgage is the rental of wealth. It is independent of the home. But, even if we want to conflate them for the sake of discussion, it is still dependent on many variables that does not round to a single number. The rent on a $20,000 mortgage is quite different to the rent on a $200,000 mortgage. Two buyers buying identical homes for identical prices, but who come with different amounts of wealth, will have very different rental payments. A single number is meaningless, even if we assume 100% of people are paying mortgage rent.

But, as you point out, ~40% of the people don't have a mortgage, and therefore have no such cost to begin with. The idea that they also need $107K doesn't make any sense.
Not sure about that. Sometimes Google legitimates a field. I was in a kite power startup company back in 2019. Before Google canceled it's Makani kite power project VCs and angels would at least talk to us - it gave them some frame of reference: "Oh, this is like the kite power thing Goggle is doing?" "Right, but on a much smaller scale". After they canceled Makani in the summer of 2019 it was crickets. We folded by the end of 2019. They figured if Google couldn't make it work then it probably wasn't something to invest in.

AEMO, here at least, outside of it's core Eastern and Southern regions, is reactive rather than leading with plans .. it manages what exists and comes into existance and functions as a reference for questions on energy policies that are set elsewhere.

The private players have many goals, a sizable part of those goals are driven by "how can we save money that we are already spending" - hence the interest in R&D from the likes of Rio Tinto and Fortescue in Infinity trains, solar farms, electric and other renewable renewables etc. in a sectors with some serious draw down on fossil fuels.

Other players, eg. Santos, are motivated by green washing existing practices .. having the worlds largest carbon capture and sequestration project is small beans given a) it's piddling success so far and b) tiny impact compared to the magnitude of the larger operation that's releasing greater amounts of carbon than are being captured.

AEMO is one part of what I generally referred to as "policies will flow from both industry and scientists in the public sector", it serves to coordinate a multitude of schemes pushing forwards, some of those schemes being hollow tin cutouts of no real substance.

No, hot paths are seldom fairly evenly distributed, even on non-numeric applications. In most cases they will be in a small number of locations.
No idea if that's true, but I've heard that's also why the absurd (and terrifying) seeming "children eating paint chips containing lead" is an actual occurrence. Because those lead chips taste sweet.

First of all, be it "self-modification". We all have some hopes about that, if we care enough. (Self-evolution implies playing with genes as species, which is a dangerous business.)

As I personally caught the last chance to see a country promoting the selfless version, my stance is that the quote is spot on.

We all have some hopes about altruism, if we care enough. But then you look around and 90% of people don't care enough. By default we want dollars to buy ourselves coca-cola and american jeans. That's how everyone was in kindergarten, and maybe <10% will attempt self-modification after they grow up. That's not enough for a system to work.

Why would you grind when its not rewarded?
I think you may have a point.

Nobody wants to believe they’re living in a peak, and it is hard to predicate. People claiming economic downturns are near are a dime a dozen.

That said, there are possible indicators. Yes, unemployment is low, but what form is employment taking? Is it generally trending toward fulfillment, growth and/or rewarding or is it trending toward mundane, unfulfilling and/or unrewarding?

Is everyone benefitting from the official economic growth? Or are the gains statistically lopsided?

Let’s take a common mentioned stat about wage growth. Yes since 2020 wages finally raised. But if you look at it overall since 1970[0], it still behind productivity gains. Wages are not keeping up with overall productivity growth and people are still going to notice that in some form. Everyone talks about since 2020, but that misses the broader story. (As an aside, I suspect by the end of 2025 wages will significantly stagnant again. Growth won’t continue on the best take of the current trajectory)

Then there’s inflation. Regardless of cause, an entire generation+ of people have never experienced such rapid prices rising, particularly with groceries. People aren’t going to forget this, no matter what the official line is. This also eats away at wage growth which as noted above, has not kept paced with productivity gains.

The official sources though say everything is great, or heading toward it. Maybe, especially if you’re seeing the benefits, but if you’re locked out of the majority of gains, what if any you do get will feel meaningless. This shouldn’t be discounted.

It is entirely possible that wealth inequality combined with the world political climate is starting to show more cracks in the system and this might be peak. We may be seeing the warning signs of a big changes, whether it manifests itself as mostly political or economic is anyways guess I suppose

Make makes the easy part easy but the rest quite hard -- which I think you agree with.

It sure would be nice to have something like this:

'!' would run $(CC) with -MD to extract the header dependencies. Doing that back in 1995 would have increased the value and usability of GNU make immensely (and greatly reduced the need for all the other complexity it has).
Just create a “show answer” link.

The link can literally encode the answer in the URL, which you can just hide the raw url it in the emails’s HTML. (Fox examples, put it as base64 chars in query parameters)

Then you can host a (static) webpage that renders the text. This lets you host any users text w/o an interactive site. No live database, no ops burden, etc.

If you wanted to get fancy (which users of such a product probably would probably want) throw in “success/failure” links so your users can report the results and get changed frequency of spaced repetitions based on their success rate.
If you remove non-industrial and financial activity from US GDP, the economic picture is bleak. US and G7 have been steadily deindustrializing while BRICS have been doing the opposite.

US GDP is misleading in the sense that it increasingly includes a large portion of economic activity that isn't actually producing tangible wealth.
What are the actual numbers you think are fantasy? Most of the time when I see someone claiming economic statistics are fake, it's a misunderstanding or lack of context. For instance, people will say the US unemployment rate is fake because it doesn't include people who have given up on looking for work... but the U-4 unemployment metric, published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics alongside the main U-3 metric, does include these people.

The Federal Reserve has pretty detailed studies on this that take a nuanced view of spending behavior. Households with no excess income after necessary expenses are in the 10-15% range. The methodology is designed to exclude the diverse scenarios under which having no apparent excess income is an artifact of lifestyle rather than an economic reality.

gdp is really bad, countries don't even use the same counting methods.
I think in the Netherlands they started using criminal activity to pad up gdp growth. Also money printing and inflation is a good way to up gdp.

I like energy production and consumption a lot more, modern economies pretty much come down to using energy to either transfer or modify goods, services or data.
When people talk about stopping an LLM from "seeing hallucinations instead of the truth", that's like stopping an Ouija-board from "channeling the wrong spirits instead of the right spirits."

They're presumably saying that's the income needed to service the mortgage (where what most people call the mortgage payment includes escrows for insurance and property taxes, on top of the literally mortgage principal and interest components).

That still feels like a fair over-estimated amount to me, but I think that's what they were getting at. (It could also be a figure of the amount needed to qualify for a mortgage on a place with some amount of downpayment.)

There's the problem right here. Parkinson's law: Work expands to occupy the time available. If tasks take less time, they will multiply.
Sure, but my contention is that even the small things are of worse quality in the so-called "high purchasing power" countries, which is the main reason why they are cheaper. There is no actual arbitrage or difference in "purchasing power", just that the market is optimized to serve a different price-quality point.
People seemed to vote on how they felt not what these numbers said. So the vibes seem more valid than the stats at least on their real world impact in many ways.

I'm not understanding what you're saying. The standard definition of the derivative of f at c is

f'(c) = lim_{h → 0} (f(c + h) - f(c))/h

The definition would not make sense if f wasn't defined at c (note the "f(c)" in the numerator). For instance, it can't be applied to your f(x) = (x² - 1)/(x - 1) at x = 1, because f(1) is not defined.

And it's a standard result (even stated in Calc 1 classes) that if a function is differentiable at a point, then it's continuous there. For example:

5.2 Theorem. Let f be defined on [a, b]. If f is differentiable at a point x ∈ [a, b], then f is continuous at x.

(Walter Rudin, "Principles of Mathematical Analysis", 3rd edition, p. 104)

Or:

Theorem 2.1 If f is differentiable at x = a, then f is continuous at x = a.

(Robert Smith and Roland Minton, "Calculus -Early Transcendentals", 4th edition, p. 140)

It's true that your f(x) = (x² - 1)/(x - 1) has a removable discontinuity at x = 1, since if we define g(x) = f(x) for x ≠ 1 and g(1) = 2, then g is continuous. Was this what you meant?

Yea I saw that, but in the affidavit, it claimed he broke the rule that wasn't in effect yet. "Well he did other stuff," true or not, is kinda hand wavy. They weren't wearing body cams which is required by law. They could have pulled him over, it was a sloppy raid by a sloppy agency who didn't even follow the law themselves.

Apparently the lie, was that he stated on the forms was he answered yes on the question regarding if the firearms were for himself.

Here's another botched incident, not sure what they were thinking here. This certainly seems extra-legal.

In a similar raid last year, more than a dozen ATF agents wearing tactical gear and armed with AR-15s stormed the rural Oklahoma home of Russell Fincher, a high school history teacher, a Baptist pastor and a parttime gun dealer. Fincher now believes their goal was to scare him into relinquishing his Federal Firearm License.

“It was like the Trump raid. They called me out onto my deck and handcuffed me. My son was there and saw the whole thing. He’s 13 years old,” Fincher told the Second Amendment Foundation last year. “They held me on the porch for about an hour. I was surrounded by agents. One by one, they yelled at me about what I was doing. In my mind, I decided if they were going to beat me up over every little thing, I’m done. As soon as I said, ‘If you want my FFL, you can have it,’ one of the agents pulled out a piece of paper and said, ‘Well then sign here.’ He had made three copies in case I screwed one up. It was exactly what they wanted. I was shocked.”
