Why would humans be reading these log files?

Another article from Strong Towns made the point that infrastructure like roads tends to only last about 30 years before needing complete replacement. In many towns this infrastructure is paid for by assessing fees on new development. Once

More than 2 players adds another level of complexity: alliances. Snake is a bit like Risk in that it's possible to attack a specific player while signalling intent. We should expect any proper AI to read and understand the others and

On the news you'll hear that the housing market has "recovered" and is now "healthy" when prices increase. When food and gas prices go up we don't say that. We worry. The narrative has been completely taken ov

Some quick googling suggests there are 4 cups of almonds in a gallon of almond milk, and ~25 almonds per cup, so about 100 gallons of water per gallon of almond milk from just growing the almonds. That's a factor of 20x, if we believe

Rhythm games are actually cited in the article as something you can learn how the routes work over time - what the author calls a form of planning. Empirically, I do like revisiting the same songs on rhythm games so that I can anticipate th

The same way any large policy maker does. This is a recurrent theme in social science, as you have to make big decisions such as whether it's worth spending an extra billion dollars on a slightly safer bridge. https://en.wi

That's exactly what the line says though. Some companies assume singles are better customers, and others, the opposite.

If you improve a mansion to be a fancier mansion, you don't increase the supply of housing. If you improve a small lot to be a duplex or an apartment complex, you increase the supply of housing. The latter wouldn't raise the net p
