Thanks this was a fun read. Kinda want a set now
Problem is billionaires don't make "income" and it's quite difficult to even know what they own, let alone how to tax something like unrealized gains on stock holdings that they are using as leverage to get loans
He implicitly defines consciousness as an ability to step back from the particular ruleset or training to see "the big picture" and deal with new circumstances. In particular how humans are different from godel's incompleteness theorem, which constrains the function of all algorithmic systems
The thing is that you have to break the law to be an effective and even safe driver. Going way under the limit or refusing to go into the opposite lane for a moment means that you cause traffic congestion and piss people off. Waymos definitely break laws at times, I've seen it personally. And other times waymos get too "safe" and end up locked in place for 30 min at a time. The real world is a chaotic place and there's always been a discrepancy between what the laws are and how people actually drive. Lidar helps see things humans cant, but the main problem is the intelligence required, which may improve over time
Seems like "who cares" if PNG can't keep up with formats like webp and webm in terms of size
I just read up on what mauikit is, and it just seems like a pretty bad idea compared to Flutter. Flutter is shitty too, but it's shitty for the right reasons -- operating systems have pretty different UI systems and supporting many of them is hard. But it runs everywhere instead of just Linux and Android
Waymo is really premium and more like getting an Uber Black, probably better. You get to talk shit with your friends as loud as you want, play your own music, and there's no pressure about anything. You know exactly how long it'll wait. What it feels like is those movies where the rich guy has a private driver with a privacy screen like a limo. The overall standard of the vehicles is very high, clean, and safe feeling
That's so cool, maybe the first time in the history of humanity that we see open source tax software, that's guaranteed to be accurate to the law. For one year at least
It runs Scala / Java, and has docker configs, decent documentation. And an ominous message explaining that some parts were too secret to open source so they had to rewrite chunks of it. Overall, it seems like it was a big project just to get this published, and I am impressed they managed it, given the software team was comprised of 3 different agencies and several contractor firms
Power of what sort?
Oh Jesus while I wasn't looking Kate became full on VSCode with the same layout and LSP. At least it's not a webview
God I love this shit. I think I'll wash my car today. I used to take her through the auto wash, but once there's enough grime, it scratches the metal a little. So you either have to have the full on auto wash subscription or enjoy the sunshine once in a while. Ain't that the real life
Great read, thanks RSS Bot! This is a fair and nuanced take, and seems to suggest that senior devs aren't sped up, especially in big open source projects where they have years of domain expertise. But for small and new repos, less experienced devs, and well designed plans - it's still probably a net win
