I agree, I’m just saying the extent is influenced heavily by the increasing availability of workers at the lower end of the automation distribution.

You may be correct, but I wonder if we'll see Mac Mini sized external AI boxes that do have the 1TB of RAM and other hardware for running local models. Maybe 100% of computer users wouldn't have one, but maybe 10-20% of power user

Bad code can persist because nobody wants to touch it. Unfortunately I’m not sure there are good metrics.

The value of that airplane would be astronomical. I would split it up into dozens of flights just to reduce risk if one of them had a mechanical problem.

I’m looking forward to the day when the cost of taking one of these falls to somewhere 20% above the cost of fuel and wear and tear on the vehicle, making it incredibly cheap to take a ride anywhere you’d reasonably want to be driven to.

I agree, directionally. To be even more precise we probably want an even better metric, but that’s closer yeah. By a better metric I mean something that would even more accurately capture quality of life, healthcare outcomes, social ties,

And especially importantly, on per capita GDP. Immigration would almost certainly cause GDP to go up, but the per capita effects are important, especially on the original population. (Qualifier added because if the original population exp

It seems homelessness and deaths of despair are also dangerous though, so maybe we should reassess the risk adjusted proper balance of standards?

I think many Americans have the impression that this violates the terms of their lease, and without other-country kinship connections and networks, they’re not aware of how to find people who would lease under high occupancy conditions. It

A random idea I had a few years ago was, what if someone started a “recent modern Amish” community, where they just intentionally keep the community’s tech usage either fixed at 1960s or 1990s, or maybe a fixed number of years in the past l

It would also be interesting to see a version corrected for the warmer temperatures due to Atlantic currents. Although that might cause some sort of near-Atlantic or near-Mediterranean "skew" in the map rather than the whole map

Let them offshore if that’s what’s going to happen. And then let the stats show that American employment in certain sectors is tanking, and let the electorate decide what to do about that. Basically, I think this is a multi-round game rat

Interesting! Makes me think of old 1990s X-Files episodes with chips under a microscope “smaller than we can produce”. I wonder if the government makes small batches of bespoke chips that are super miniature based on non scalable processes

TDD doesn’t ensure the code is maintainable, extendable, follows best practices, etc, and while AI might write some code that can pass tests while the code is relatively small, I would expect in the long run it will find it extremely diffic
