> The hardest part (IMHO) about getting a simple language running, particularly for beginners, is the “expression”

This is why teaching material should be tailored towards teaching rather than implementing demented stuff from the real world just because it is "there." You can easily implement a parser that ignores precedence and tell the reader that we are using brackets to force precedence instead.

In a real-word parser, you might use something like this[1] or some other home-grown algorithm if you didn't know about it. Doesn't matter as long as the parser works.

I don't think it's necessarily infix math. Most code is not math heavy. But code bases tend to be heavily loaded with those language features that drive program organization, like object-orientation.

Common Lisp's "problem" isn't so much (* x (y + z)) but rather (fun (slot-value foo 'bar) (slot-value (slot-value xyzzy 'bag) 'element)).

The with-slots macro is not really an answer. It's an extra blurb you have to write, for something simple that just looks like fun(foo.bar, xyzzy.bag.element) in another language. Slot readers and accessors help. If the class you're using hasn't defined them, should you?

I have a suspicion that newcomers to Lisp who are able to get past the way arithmetic is written balk when they see how object oriented-glue code looks.

The focus on infix may be misplaced.
To add to your list, Federal Spending represents 23% of GDP. If you cut Federal Spending you cut GDP. And if you take just a sliver of any of that spending and think about it critically, you can imagine the ripple effects it will cause.

Cutting funding for biotech results in loss of jobs and loss of patent filing. Loss of patent filing means loss of people needed for filing patents. On and on. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out (some pun intended).
"King County provides local and regional services to nearly 2.4 million residents, with a 2025 Proposed Budget of $10.2 billion and nearly 17,700 employees."[1]

Seattle's population is around 755,000. 755,000 / 2,400,000 ≈ 0.315. 10,200,000,000 * 0.315 = 3,213,000,000.

3.2 billion + 8.3 billion = 11.5 billion.

15 billion (San Francisco budget) - 11.5 billion (Seattle budget) = 3.5 billion.

So San Francisco's budget is around 3.5 billion dollars higher.

I doubt that any of the options you've given would have been likely or be any more likely under new management – as you said, that modernisation can happen and is happening already through other characters.

What I could absolutely see happening is a teenage Bond YA fiction style thing, which would dilute the character. Or alternatively, a TV show, which would dilute the brand.
"nondeterminism as abstraction" is, imo, the best example of an "FM export".

Usually you think of nondeterminism as adding complexity to a system -- concurrency, randomness, etc.

So it's kind of surprising to notice that translating a deterministic system into a non-deterministic system is often the first step people take when proving things about complicated algorithms.

Planning, optimization and reinforcement learning are the canonical examples where the reason for this step is easiest to see. These are usually very complex algorithms. You could prove things about an actual implementation, line of code by line of code, but that would be a toooon of work.

If instead you can find over-approximation `inv : State x Action -> List[State]`, and if you know that this invariant is strong enough to imply whatever other properties you want, then you just need to make sure that `inv` over-approximates the actual behavior of the underlying system (either by interrogation or by construction).

It's a very simple observation, motivated by the pragmatics of engineering proofs about complicated systems, which can have a direct impact on how you think about designing those same systems. Now that huge inscrutable models are all the rage, it's a fun little FM trick I used almost every day even though I rarely work on systems that I'd bother to formally model or verify.

I don’t fear my dev job becoming less valuable as large chunks become automated. Like I said if it happens I will figure out a way to be useful to society in other ways, even if it’s inventing things for AI to do or controlling AI to do the job of a bunch of devs. I will adapt like everyone has in history and make myself valuable in new ways.

Entry-level total comp at Google Mexico is about 80k USD, which is comparable to 180k in local purchasing power.

This is great! Back in 2009 or so, I took dozens of high-resolution photos with my digital camera from the observation spot at Sutro Tower (towards the city, not the tower), and combined the images together in Microsoft Photosynth [0] to create an astoundingly high resolution point cloud of the city. I started with lots of zoomed-out photos, then took an overlapping grid of photos at various zoom levels. I wish Photosynth was still around; I'd love to look at the result again.

This is why incrementalism is always the best method of development.

Spread out the pain so everyone only suffers a little. Spread out the development across different architectural eras. Spread out density to the point where you have diminishing returns.

The city shouldn't be changed overnight, but the city should be allowed to change an a consistent rate that slowly accelerates. A good example is to allow each building to only double the square footage of the median building within, say, a quarter-mile radius of the property being redeveloped. This means that SFH's can only become duplexes until duplexes are the norm. After that, quad-plexes can be built, and then when that's normal, you start building large, eight-unit, european-style flats.

This allows different areas to grow at different rates, while allowing density to remain generally uniform across neighborhoods. This incentivizes people who very much want low density to have a reasonably, predictably low-density neighborhood to invest in, while giving up the ghost when a piece of land is just to valuable to reasonably keep low density.

It would work, and would work quickly in areas where lots of development is needed.

That's what I've said, yes. It does not.

Companies tend to deceive customers, as the incentives are frequently aren't aligned, so "voting with a wallet" is not functioning as well as it should. And profit-seeking leads to market consolidation, which, at least past some threshold is a net negative on society and turns into oligopoly.

A vision of a society without a government is utopic. It requires drastically different mindset and understanding of the side effects and unintended outcomes from every living person. Yet, I cannot help but naively like the idea of such society (which is entirely subjective thing), and so I wish we all could be smarter and knowledgeable, stop fighting for resources, and that some distant day whatever becomes of us may live in a world where cartels won't form because everyone understands how that's not really in anyone's interest (paradoxically, I believe that's not even good for the cartel itself in the long term - power and wealth are also a deadly curse).

See my other comment regarding efficiency of my Intel Xe iGPU.

Jetson is a different league though. These can run even LLMs (tho 16 GB version was overpriced when I bought during covid, so went for 8 GB). Ollama Just Works (tm); now compared to getting Ollama working with ROCm on my 6700 XT however, that was frustrating.

So, object detection with Tensorflow, works well w/these Coral TPUs. However, you can forget even running Whisper.cpp

One nice thing the Coral USB has for it though is it is USB. You can get it to work on practically any machine. Great for demos.

For old version of Python fire up a VM, OCI, use a decent package manager like uv or pipx.

For people comparing this to existing solutions: this is an open-source work, ready for anyone with chip production capability, with no product licensing involved or due royalties to be paid. And, given chip's simplicity, the production capability needs are not that high. Existing chip manufacturers may provide a good and convenient ready available solutions, but that's just a different thing (with you merely as a chip manufacturer's client). This is the vertical integration option, if you need it.

> lexer + parser + treewalk interpreter

If all you do is construct an AST and interpret it it's not really a compiler is it. It doesn't compile from source to target. At most you're describing a compiler front end (arguably), or an interpreter.

I would expect:

lexer + parser + AST definition and construction + semantic analysis/type checking + X + codegen to ASM/WASM/C

where X includes

- definition of an intermediate representation (IR)
- lowering AST to IR
- static analysis
- improvers/optimisation passes (at least some simple stuff)
- code gen including register allocation

This can still be a simple "complicated" program, but there's more to a compiler than an AST interpreter.

EDIT: I notice that the author of the original article has also started work on an optimizing compiler: https://ssloy.github.io/tinyoptimizer/
Is it cheaper because the infrastructure is going farther, or because every individual is getting less and less of an overburdened commons?

If you build out instead and everyone gets the SFH white-picket-fence life, the escape to nature is suddenly less important. Even if it's more expensive to connect, in the process we develop ample capacity in the commons.

Maybe it's just not possible with so much cost focus and so many competing incentives in the West. And no superseding body who can make it happen like China.

Converting 4-story to 6-story isn't really what I see pitched either, it's generally rezoning SFH/2/4-plex to 6-story+ with subsidies, which is really a huge remaking of neighborhoods.

These types of people blame the failures of their own policies on the scapegoats because they're convinced their ideology is actually natural law.

They control the courts, presidency, congress, most state houses and governors offices, have most popular news shows and networks, and they're unwilling to admit their policies are incompetently administered so therefore socialists and trans people must actually be running things, somehow, somewhere, in some invisible way.

They refuse to take responsibility and imagine conspiracies where some scapegoat is puppet mastering their failure.

Don't dismiss it. They deeply believe this.

I have a couple of these, unfortunately I've been waiting for the ecosystem to get better and run newer/improve models to no avail.

> in recent years, content has become preachy instead of focusing on being entertaining

I'm not sure I feel this? From my perspective, the Marvel films feel like a counter example, where they only care about the "entertainment" (arguably the opening weekend!), and there's no lasting quality to them. Each one individually is a reasonable way to pass 2 hours, but they feel like junk food films, I don't feel better for having watched them.

The alternative is things like A24's output, which one may call "preachy", but while I might not enjoy them in the same way as turning my mind off in front of Avengers 8: Avenge Harder-er, they have a much bigger impact on my life and satisfy me much more as a viewer.
When you are Elon, or Trump, or even a moderately succesful business… all the government does (or at least what you perceive) is tell you no. You can't dump that here, you can't build that there, you can't fire that person for that reason, you can't do that without a permit, etc.. They just want to clear all the roadblocks out of the way for their PERSONAL gains.

Get rid of the government and you can do whatever you want. That is what they want. These are people who feel they have "won" the game of capitalism, and were still told, "No." That greatly upset them. How can a winner be told they can't do something?
I'm not sure the author really understood Debt or Graeber's thinking more broadly. It's far more nuanced than the state being the cause of all evil. He never said that debt originated with imperial governments or that humans don't have a capacity for violence.

Just to be precise, it's a cost equivalent of 100% of 2024 Medicaid (sorry, I typed the wrong one) spending, amortized over 10 years. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't mean it's cutting all of Medicaid at once, right?

It's still drastic, though. 10% every year means 100b in cuts to Medicaid. More money than what's allocated to the DoED

I'd be interested in understanding the property rights of the roads they were taxing. Were they taxing highways that had some covenants or contract ensuring toll free passage? I'm unfamiliar with the contract made for federally matched roads but it wouldn't surprise me if there's an agreement you can't just turn it into a toll road by calling it a new tax.
My more optimistic take is that if they take years to resolve claims, then passengers could (should be able to?) rightfully claim more damages for the hardship in those delays. It saves them money overall by providing compensation early without prejudicing future claims. And that's of benefit to those impacted, too.

The problem with this line of thinking is in people frequently ignore their own interests or just shrug their shoulders and "I got mine" in some way: The absolute easiest example that comes to mind is roads. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people complain about tax on gasoline and how they don't even use the majors roads and highways that much. Mention that nearly every single thing that keeps them alive will in some way require roads to exist and they'll move the goal posts to "I ready pay other taxes" or "I've already paid plenty" or less reasonably "fine let all this go away then because we got along fine 200 years ago without it".

With other things, it's just about impossible to convey to someone with this sort of mindset anything much less direct like the costs of having beauracracies creating and enforcing regulating building codes or workplace standards, and even those are easier to grasp than many other services
