You're describing connections with regions which were on the borders of the western empires during antiquity. While there's abundant examples of cross pollination, there's also no doubt that Romans and Greeks identified thems

That's commendable, but I do think it emphasizes my point. If you have such ethical concerns, why develop powerful technology on behalf of shareholders whose identities and intentions are unknown to you? Activation engineering has obvi

That's the one. I read the 2nd edition on kindle. There is only one short chapter on harmony but discussion of tone, intervals, etc is comprehensive.

Not only that but his outrage is narrowly focused on contemporary US politics. Billions of people access food, shelter, medicine, education, etc, only by the rapidly diminishing leverage their labor provides (or doesn't provide) them.

Concrete examples? Quick google only shows small discounts for DCs relative to other wholesale industrial consumers, which could be partially explained away by the flat load, lack of stability concerns, no need for power factor correction h

I don't think the mechanism is that different, and even if it was Europe, etc would have the same issue - data centers would still bid up the price for existing capacity, and the future capacity added to accommodate the dcs would be ad

Where can we read about the xray setup? e.g the type of sensor, if/how the target and/or beam is scanned, any fancy gratings/etc, what kind of CT algorithms are used

I'm pro-renewables, and I've worked, studied extensively, and invested in that field. There remain significant hard-to-abate uses (fact) which I believe (opinion) will slow down decarbonisation to a 50+ year timeline - this in lin

India, China, Germany are just examples of countries who burn fossil fuels to provide for your standard of living. I explained, in some detail, why a) I expect decarbonisation to take a long time, on the order of 50+ years b) why the UK can

You've not addressed a single one of my arguments, only replied to my conclusion, and doubled down on the arrogance despite being apparently less educated on this topic than me. > But OK, I can almost hear you, "Electricity is

I've never played fallout, and this isn't a game for me. I do have an electrical engineering degree, have read dozens of textbooks on (renewable) power generation, thermodynamics and manufacturing, and have spent significant time

Nuclear is the other option, and cherry picking the most generous data from a deindustrialised economy is a far less meaningful metric than you seem to think. I wish people like you, who care genuinely about this topic, would engage with it

I've seen even pros make all kinds of mistakes, since PCB layout isn't really a focus of EE education. It's interesting that you've done so well with Claude. The usual temptation of beginners is to treat layout as a spat

Does the AI have a say in what type of residential buildings are built, or is it all up to the player? If the AI is choosing, then there should be some way to naturally incentivize the landlords to build apartment towers where there is a hi

Looks much better than a typical beginner, congrats. As someone with a bit of experience (and a degree) I'd just suggest that you avoid breaking up the ground plane so much. It's the single most important rule for PCB design. Trac

I'm really interested in how the landlord/land price logic works, as it would be key to building a realistic city where higher income earners live closer to CBD, etc. Are there slums and ghettos? Gentrification? The promo shows si

Yeah and for niantic to achieve good photogrammetry with their random collection of photos taken from different angles, on different days, etc they would need some kind of ground truth to train on, which is implausible. You'd need to c

East Bay is a good example - that is indeed how the upper bound on rents is set, typically. You can move to a smaller apartment, or commute from further out (my original comment). It doesn't work for everyone - some will be worse off i

In both of my examples, demand has increased, per the definition used in economics. Demand is not 'the number of people who want to live in this area', it is more like 'the number of people who will rent a house in this area

The events happened, but the mechanisms are subject to debate. Every school of economic thought has strong opinions on this time period. You've actually listed a source that contradicts your original argument (which came from where, ou

Doesn't this article contradict your earlier comment? It claims that wages increased (elite were unable to capture the surplus) and as a result, workers were able to move from growing crops to farming animals, with resulting efficiency

I'm not really sure what you're trying to add, so here's a few questions and examples of my points. Have you read much economics? a) Firstly, I said landowners, not home buyers. Are you claiming that nobody owns land without

From where do you get your understanding of the terms supply and demand? They are primarily from classical economics - have you read any? e.g Adam Smith?

by skew-aberration 5mo ago
While this is true, you're not actually contradicting what I'm saying. In economics, supply/demand is a curve (not a scalar quantity). If everybody's wage increases, then the demand does go up (the tail of the curve goes

Where I live, people do indeed rent houses in large numbers. This is typically not because they wouldn't prefer to buy - it is because they can't afford to. This would describe such a large number of people globally that I'm
