They're all interrelated problems with multidecade response times to policy and dispute about the best path to fixing them. And the solutions to each aren't the same as in Europe, and the US has a hard time with consistent policy

Individuals don't make that choice, though. Individuals consider the transit modes available to them, and don't consider the externality of slightly delaying everyone else if they take a car.

In a whole lot of the world, children from 6-10 have a lot of responsibility and navigate public transit, etc, themselves. Of course, those countries are dramatically safer than the US. It wasn't so long ago that kids even did this in

The rest of the world doesn't understand the US's problems. There are portions of the problem that are as easy as cutting and pasting transit systems from elsewhere, but unfortunately those are the easy parts. Poverty, crime, spr

I don't think this is a reasonable take. Some people/organizations send signals about things that we're not ready to fully drop it on the world. Others consider those signals in context (reputation of sender, prior probabil

I think the main thing is: quantum computing doesn't really work right now, at all. Imagine if you had crummy, unreliable transistors. You couldn't build any computing machine out of them. Indeed, in the real world progress looke

The selection isn't great yet, but you can get a USB charger or USB hub desk grommet (or one that does both). Hopefully there will be a matching sized one (60mm) doing something useful, but if not you can just put a normal grommet cove

Cycle costs aren't a fair metric unless/until we know what refurbishment really costs. Given that we amortize other bits of electrical infrastructure over 30-40 years, amortizing a new bit over 20 years when A) it has a wear compo

> Now you want to add 10% of $190/MWh to the cost base. So instead of $50/MWh we end up with $65/MWh. Yes-- that's how it works if we assume none of the benefits I'm talking about and assume that storage is free.

I am pretty confident. Last similar LVGL thing I did took me 10-12 hours, and I had a quicker iteration time (running locally instead of the test hardware). Here I spent a little more than an hour, testing on real hardware, and the last 20

So, I recently have done my first couple heavily AI augmented tasks for hobby projects. I wrote a TON of LVGL code. The result wasn’t perfect for placement, but when I iterated a couple of times, it fixed almost all of the issues. The resu

Welcome to syntactic ambiguity. But I think this was clear enough to infer what it meant before the rephrase (aside from some edge cases like how does this play with gifts and family sharing).

There are also weird effects with family sharing. I have things in my account that my kids have played but that I haven’t.
