- postflopclarityI had to stop using firefox because it just wouldn't display youtube videos. disabling adblocking, hardware acceleration, updates, etc. etc. didn't help at all
- I do this all the time. I pass my code into "you are a skeptic and hate all the code my student produces: here is their latest PR etc.. etc.."
- why is that crazy? legislative supremacy is an extremely common pillar of many theories of democracy. the executive has only the powers enumerated in the Constitution and explicitly granted by Congress. if Congress wants to set up an agency independent of POTUS, that "should" (scare quotes because who knows what this activist SCOTUS will do) be well within its constitutional purview
- Julia is not a scripting language and can match C performance on many tasks.
- market has plenty of appetite but it's muzzled by selfish and short-sighted NIMBYs
- are you familiar with how negligible a fraction of the costs that car-dependent infrastructure imposes on society those two taxes represent
- I'm not neglecting those facts. 2) is almost the entirety of the problem. the call to action of "build more" is not wishful thinking that someone will donate free houses to the public. the call to action is to vote for politicians who will remove the near-universal smothering red tape that prevents any kind of meaningful new housing construction
- build. more. and this problem will go away.
- anybody making excuses for this or pretending it's "business as normal" is evil.

that is _not_ synonymous with "absent of regulation."
market failures exist, believe it or not.
- you are not correctly evaluating the risks you take by driving. it wasn't more dangerous. but ok.
- very clever! I hadn't seen anybody make this point before in any of these threads /s
obviously the nature of OpenAIs revenue is very different than selling $1 for $0.2 because their customers are buying an actual service, not anything with resale value or obviously fungible for $
- > It's a bit like keeping rents high and apartments empty to build average rents
with very particular exceptions at the high end (like those 8-figure $ apartments by Central Park that are little more than international money laundering schemes) this doesn't really happen irl
- car-dependent infrastructure and urban design is hostile to human life.

- ... "both sides" ? seems pretty heavily one sided to me.
- I mean it's been pretty obvious for a while...
the people who would care already knew about this. the people who didn't know about this don't care (or are in denial).
- forgive me if the rise of autocracy and death of civil liberties in my country occupies my thoughts nowadays.
