i think the pandemic is really over, it is endemic. I wonder when we will get back to baseline or whether we will have to live with deadlier virus than what's usual for some time. Just keep in mind that the flu isn't as harmless a

yeah, but that's irrelevant. We're not fetishising poorness here but arguing wether you would always buy a house because it's objectively better. I wouldn't, I live in the city by choice and wouldn't move out for a

I can imagine living in a single room with good, big shared amenities, but I can't imagine living in a pod. In fact, i would consider the opportunity for the single room, I find the idea appealing. But not a pod, just imagine starting

I sounds a bit like you've never left where you grew up and can't imagine why someone else wouldn't like it. If someone would give me a house I would sell it. I don't want to live in a house and I definitely don't w

I don't get this comment? Separating what? Pedestrians and cars? Cars and bikes? Isn't this also mostly done? I mean that's the idea behind bike lanes for example. There are limits to the amount of separation possible though.

It's also being rolled out in berlin and what I saw it's really, really great. But there are drawbacks. People living on the main streets get more traffic and pollution and some violently oppose it. Public transit and emergency ve

encouraging public transport use is only one reason to lower the speed limit. Noise and safety are others and maybe even independent of the will to encourage public transit use

The thing about living close to friends is that it's not as much work to meet. Having to travel for half an hour is already a lot since it might not be worth it to meet spontaneously, it is easier to develop friendships to someone clos

I see this happening again and again, sometimes repeatedly to the same persons. A friend of mine is currently going through this, but his solution to the problem is immediately trying to go into the next relationship, as fast as possible. I

Have fun pulling notes from websites without ML. NLP just plain didn't work before ML. The thing is that with ML you are able to work with unstructured data, e.g. routing email without having a complicated system the person mailing you

I really don't think you can just import scientists and engineers and essentially develop TSMC. It's not the sixties anymore, Intel has a massive R&D budget but they are not currently able to compete with TSMC. Technology is a

numpy is a great library, but I find the pytorch take on it superior. It allows for much more method-chaining, which I find to be very readable in longer computations. I frequently want to reach out for it in numpy, only to see that it&#x27

> That's a logical fallacy. No it's not? It gives him credibility. You can not lecture someone about the car culture in an area they've lived in. He has literally lived there and in his case, as I understood it, even grown

it's not the wrong way because it's not always about the needs of the suburban/commuting community. Reducing car traffic can be a goal itself because it calms the neighbourhood for the community living in the urban areas or e

by LeanderK 3y ago
I would argue that in general that's probably true but not always. Reducing car trips can also relieve stress on the communities living in these urban communities or improve the quality in specific locations. Here outright banning or d

I wonder how pragmatic those can become. Usually I don't really care about "exact" exactness, a common theme in haskell. A sort of "under common assumptions" (no underflow/overflow/OOM etc.) proof of laws

Regardless of wether it's the right idea right now, I am convinced that AI is at least not he complete vapourware that blockchain was. That really was some useless hype. There's something to show for and real applications, from se

this is not true across the bank. Of course if you're really deep into depopulated rural areas then there is really a lack of basic social services. But it's not that there's only high-density cities and deserted landscapes,

I wouldn't return to more rural areas if 100% WFH is possible. Some left it for a reason and not to get better internet. And, at least in germany, many rural areas are not so unattractive. I know plenty rural villages with great intern

A bit offtopic: In principle I like the design of the bloc, but I recently searched for a technical-looking font that is not monospaced. I like the design of the blog, but reading prose in monospaced font is just not very pleasant I think.

I actually see autonomous cars complementing trains very well because they can be used for the last mile problem (getting people from the train station to the destination they actually want to arrive at). They are also available for areas p

I don't think the question was about the interpretation and specifics of the law but about the ethics. Wether an action is not unreasonable is also a question wether the action is should be a valid option. We are playing a game about p

compilers are really complicated pieces of software. There's a lot of complexity even in small routines. I would expect to encounter complicated types in there, they capture (while complex) intent and meaning. It's not the fronten

yeah, weird. I read a lot of code. I often read code to exactly understand what's going on, how specific functions are used or how the API was intended to fit together. That may mean that I read random code on github, code of my depend
