You’d think people would buy cars that fit the streets. And yet I see more than a few people with American pickup trucks on the streets.

What’s really crazy was Trump forcing the UK to change road safety rules so they could sell more American pick up trucks in the UK. So pedestrian deaths would start rising again.

Digg to Reddit was a positive migration. I can think of many small Reddit communities that couldn’t have flourished under Digg or the old phpBB style boards. Things can get better over time. When they don’t acknowledge this I can’t help but

You will be pleased to know that I’m not from America, nor have I ever lived there. My point stands: there are a million excuses not to build more. And when we make that choice not to build, the costs are invisible but they definitely exist

I live in a city that consistently builds about 3-4% of the number of homes we need to build each year. We don’t build rail, we don’t electricity transmission infrastructure, all of which increases our cost of living. NIMBYs are doing great

I agree with Joan here, communities aren’t fungible. Building something where something already exists does carry a cost. But I can also see how this will be used as one more arrow in the quiver of NIMBYs. In addition to environmental, econ

I guess China was entitled to a reset in expectations after 1949. But what’s surprising is how little their world view changed before after the Communists came to power.

It sort of made sense. The 1962 war secured the road route between Tibet and Xinjiang. Very strategically valuable. It also had the effect of uniting India, killing some budding separatist movements. It also made the Indian government prior

It literally was out of the blue. There were minimal troops stationed there. India had streets named after the friendship agreement with China, there were slogans that went “Indians and Chinese are brothers”. Brothers can have minor disagre

In 1962 China launched a surprise war against India. They did it in the same week as the Cuban missile crisis, ensuring that the US and USSR would be too distracted to intervene. This was after 13 years of friendship between India and China

We have more words than ever. Nice. But all the words sound more like each other than ever. It’s not just blah, it’s blah. And why should I bother reading what someone else “writes”? I can generate the same text myself for free.

I haven’t used a laptop other than a mac in 10 years. I remember being extremely frustrated with the Intel macs. What I hated most was getting into video meetings, which would make the Intel CPU sound like a 747 taxiing. The switch from a t

Instead of both-sides-ing this, you can look at objective data. Here's BoxOfficeMojo: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl4287397889/ . Right now it says $8.1M in the US, $75k worldwide. Not bad for a movi

The implication being that if the attacker could also craft a malicious payload that would cause a buffer overflow, they could chain the exploits to get remote code execution on the client. While anyone can perform the attack described in

Even reviewing human written C++ is difficult. Android has had 20 years to figure it out and they couldn’t find a way to reduce the number of vulnerabilities they introduced in carefully crafted C++ code. I shudder to think how many more th

simonw has drunk the koolaid on this one. There’s no point trying to convince him. Relatedly, he made a prediction that AI would be able to write a web browser from scratch in 3 years. He really wants to see this happen, so maybe that’s why

The fact that the codebase is meaningless drivel has already been established, you don’t need to defend them. It’s just pure slop, and they’re trying to get people to believe that it’s a working browser. At the time he bragged about that `c

It is what it is, I accept that’s where the industry is heading. But if I have to produce reams of code I’d much rather have it be reviewed by rustc than clang. rustc may take longer to satisfy, but it’ll be worth it because I won’t be resp

Strange. I wouldn’t trust the output of a coding agent and I would want stronger review of its output. If it passes a strict compiler that gives me more confidence than if it passed a lax one. But sure, if you trust it to have written C++ t

I saw a $100 bill on the ground. I nearly picked it up before I stopped myself. I realised that if it was a genuine currency note, the Efficient Market would have picked it up already.

I feel like the price Apple charges for batteries is very reasonable. I kept my phone going for 4.5 years thanks to a battery replacement 2 years in. They’re basically doing it at cost, considering parts and labour. Also, your information i

I wish I could be as intelligent and free thinking as you. Sadly I’m a sheep, but it’s so inspiring to see someone like you, to show us sheep what’s possible if you truly free your mind.
