A rule that dates back to when books were rare, expensive, and useful I suspect.

Many books are just electronic garbage at this point, and backing them all up is like going to a landfill and saying "We should make another one, exactly like this one, in case this landfill proves to be valuable to someone, someday."

It might be useful for LLM training to produce garbage. Although many say they already do a good job at that already.
To be clear I am not arguing for or against working with a bunch of people from totally different backgrounds, demographics, etc. I am arguing that, because we can't do everything we should decide what really matters to us, commit to it in the long term, and invest in it to the exclusion of the many other completely worthy causes. I know it sounds obvious, but at least for the communities I belong to, the industry committed shallowly and as a result accomplished very little.
Never join one of these teams if you're not the modal race. This isn't the case for every team, but there will be important conversations in a language you don't know, and worst case, you were brought on so they have someone to let go when the company demands another 5%.
I think in a way that’s why planes fly so much further up than you’d think they’d need to. They want more consistent and minimal atmospheric conditions. Less air means less energy means less turbulence, I think?

If you’re talking about friction… oooh that’s an interesting one. Intuitively yes. But is it also negligible?
It'd be a mistake to interpret 'strategic' as 'nuclear' in this instance. If anything this is probably more about influence and economic control of the Arctic. Depending on what the modeling says about future thawing, Russia might be about to gain consistent and hard-to-restrict access to the Atlantic.

I doubt the US likes that. Although they don't exactly need official control to station military assets there Trump/someone in the bureaucracy might think that official control is a better long term plan. Especially since NATO is under a little pressure right now.

I mean... wow. This is not the point of course, but the point is obvious and public sentiment towards SO seems to be quite unanimous. And, to be fair, I suppose 0.1% of SO is quite a lot of people, but still. I don't think SO will do well behaving like that.

Yeah, fair point, I’m completely just talking US market here.

I’m assuming this would go for the same price ($18k) in the US, where that would be a very good price for an EV.

I would love to see an EV in the US for sub-$20k.

I wish US implement a similar system but I wonder how its going to work when housing prices are astonomical especially in the Bay Area

Getting paid 250k/yr with 20% downpayment isn't enough to afford a house with 2 kids, so providing a "free" or "afforable" housing to those who aren't currently employees is only going to upset those who are working hard

IMO govn't need to relax the regulation to build more houses and drive the cost down

I completely agree with Finland's approach though. Permanent housing is the minimal requirement to reduce homelessness. Without placed to stay, mailing address, security, it's difficult to get out of homelessness
Sure, you don't understand, and that's a sign that the culture doesn't exist in the same way.

Okay, I hadn't really picked up on the implications of well-ordering there.

Though the (im)possibility of well-ordering all reals doesn't really matter here. Computable reals can by sorted by their programs, and definable reals can be sorted by their definitions. So if you have a "concrete definition of definable reals", then the system you use gives you ways to well-order them. And if you want to "refer to the first real that’s undefinable in that system", you can make a new system2 that encapsulates the old system1.

That might prove we can't have a universal system for defining things, which would be disappointing but workable.

Or maybe it's just that "the first real that's undefinable in system1" is not concrete, so we can reject it as a description of a number, and then the consequences are much smaller.
Regular people have a stigma against the homeless and that perceptions of crime from the homeless are higher than they should be and that's detrimental to help them. That is clear as water. I genuinely think you're trying to just push some perceived overton window and are ending up in a nonsensical argument about nobody being afraid of a whole group of people. And then you say I'm too fearful, which was the opposing argument you made, that nobody ever felt fear. It's like inflammatory rhetoric for it's own sake.
I think quantity is a valid concern but I also think treating housing as a speculative asset is an issue. Housing serves as a valuable speculative asset precisely because quantity is restricted by a variety of factors, but actually using it as a speculative asset raises prices significantly.
One of the things I've noticed is that people who just do the thing, take note of what's annoying, and fix the most annoying things about a process later on tend to make the most impressive dents in a system or process, especially since they spend time mulling over the idea in their head and so by the time they implement, they aren't "zero-shotting" a solution to what's generally a complex issue.
Looks like Hyundai and BYD sold high three digits and low four digits in Japan during 2024, surprising but growth is definitely not exponential. Tesla's interestingly in high four too and not growing.

I wonder what are differentiations for these cars in context of Japan against local cars with local factories. I can see that Teslas would be substantially different from Leafs, but what pain points of Japanese cars do IONIQ 5 or Seal solve?
Not OP, but I found a series, not a movie, titled _One Cent Thief_ that fits the description. Sounds interesting.

I dispute that strongly. How has the Walton family made America a better place? I'd say they've made it a much worse place. Similarly, Zuck hasn't "made America a better place". I'm not sure you can argue that Gates and Microsoft have.

I don't think women are inherently better behaved than men, or that they naturally see themselves as being on the same team. It's that the dynamic where it feels fun or funny to tell a joke that makes a minority in a group feel bad is less likely to arise when there are multiple people who wouldn't be laughing, or perhaps even telling them to give it a rest. Nothing to do with comradery, just the natural tendency of people to not like when their personal identity is threatened in some way.

FWIW, I do think most men with wives and/or daughters are generally thoughtful coworkers, but I'm not sure that's a majority in most tech workplaces, especially the ones that skew young. Thinking back to my own experience, I think, I was blind to a lot of the things I'm speaking about (or perhaps even resistant to the idea of calling it out) until I had a long-term partner.
Indeed, I often tell people that one of the “hardest” things to do in software development is actually managing complexity (on any significant sized code base that is, on smaller ones it’s probably not going to be an issue).

Big long lived code bases are all about this battle against complexity and the speed at which you can add new or update features largely comes down to how well you’re doing at management of complexity.

Korean car companies are making lots of headway by trying everything. Honda makes a big deal about the Clarity of LPG converted civic. Almost everybody I know in Korea has some combination of different fuel types and transmissions. It's sort of a wild "east" and the Korean companies are throwing everything at the wall.

Among people I know off the top of my head:

- VW diesel SUV (manual)

- domestic diesel Kia SUV (automatic)

- Tesla (auto?)

- domestic petrol ancient Daewoo (manual)

- domestic Hyundai LPG (auto)

- domestic Hyundai Hydrogen (auto)

- Honda petrol CRV (auto/CVT)

- petrol domestic Bongotype (pickup analog) (manual)

- diesel domestic Bongotype (pickup analog) (manual)

- domestic petrol Hyundai small car (auto)

- domestic petrol Kia SUV (auto)

- petrol Jaguar (auto)

it's wild. My friends and family are spread across everything from hair dressers to architects, so this kind of diversity is unusual to me.

My friends in Japan are much more focused, and the it seems to me that the brands are overcommitted to very few sets of fuels, transmissions, and technologies -- even if the form factor and packaging appear different.

With the possibility of Honda and Nissan merging among other consolidation in Japanese autos, I feel like this will only continue (saying this as a (slightly dismayed life long Honda owner).

The elephant in the room is of course the massive diversity and cost effectiveness of Chinese cars...which are completely unknown and mocked in the U.S., but turn out to be surprisingly decent these days, and are increasingly electrified and are in the process of refinement. A recent trip to Spain and Portugal reminded me that "hey these exist" and a few rides around in Ubers let me see them up close. They'd sell like hot cakes in the U.S. if they were allowed to.
The barrier is, the construction industry's "awful" productivity.

It cites this paper:

https://bfi.uchicago.edu/insight/research-summary/the-strang...

the number of houses or total square footage (houses are getting bigger) built per employee each year was flat or even falling over the last 50 years. And the researchers believe the lack of productivity growth holds true for all different types of construction.

And:

According to an estimation by the McKinsey Global Institute, construction, one of the largest parts of the global economy, is the least digitized major sector worldwide—and it isn’t even close.
The weirdest one I saw was when Uber Eats would highlight black owned businesses and ask you to order from them. Uber isn't going to lower its cut for these black businesses or donate to some charity for black people if you order. It just wants you to funnel money to them through a black business. Bizarre.

A key to this strategy is building sufficient numbers of housing units; if you split these between units to be offered in the market (prevention) and units dedicated to permanent housing of the currently unhoused (cure) you bring down costs for people with income seeking housing in the market while providing immediate (as the units become ready, obviously there is a lag from adopting the approach as policy unless you have vacant capacity that can be instantly repurposed) assistance to those who even with greater supply are not inmediately able to make market rents.

You can't execute a Housing First strategy effectively without adequate housing supply, which is the most fundamental problem in a number of locales, including the Bay Area. But additional market supply alone is not sufficient to address the urgent homelessness problem.

> IMO govn't need to relax the regulation to build more houses and drive the cost down

That absolutely needs to happen, and that helps with prevention, but except for the fairly-well-employed homeless (a group that actually exists and is often ignored, but isn't a big part of the homeless problem), adding new market rate supply alone does not provide significant assistance to the currently homeless.

Btw I think one can go a step further than the author, there is no need to keep two explicit ExprRef baked in a binary node (lhs, rhs). You can exploit locality, basically the AST, seen it the LISP way, is just an arbitrarily nestable list, where elements are atoms or other lists. Hence all you need to know is where each list ends (and if it's an atom you can assume it spans one node) and actually one bit to know if it is the last entry in the list is quite ergonomic as well (because then you can distinguish whether moving next slot in the AST means there is a sibling). Basically it's easier to keep it sync while constructing and takes up less memory per node. I pay 40 bits per node, stored interleaved for best cache locality (some unaligned accesses but I think it's still worthwhile), 8 bits for the tag, 32 for the data, if data is bigger, 32 is an index into some auxiliary segment (basically a ptr).

Why do you think a regional government would be any more altruistic and charitable than a city government? I've seen a regional governmental (a metropolitan council like you suggest) that covers multiple cities in a metro area that have done nothing but squander money to justify their own existence. It got so bad that they ended up getting their powers curtailed by the state.

Everything else you mention is just wishful thinking that could be applied to any government regardless of size or scope.
I wouldnt argue with a claim of $2425 tbh.

The $8 will vary, and the actual cost function completely depends on the implimentation, its definitely possible to do worse, very likely possible to do better - there was rumors a few years ago that some Riemann surface based math can do it in O(1), but I know nothing about Riemann surfaces so can't judge their veracity.
There's no straightforward answer because there are many factors that affect flight time and fuel economy, including the aerodynamics of the plane and the engine technology. I hazard a guess that for commercial airplanes these are chosen primarily for reasons of fuel economy per seat and then that determines the model's designated cruising altitude.

For a particular model, flying above the model's cruising altitude should lead to lower fuel efficiency.
