I own a bunch of tech stocks.

Most of world did worse in 2008. The bailout worked in the US

What's your short position?

> Stop entertaining your kid.

> Take them out.

With 3 kids and both parents working we still never use these things. The few times I tried the food takes a long time and arrives kind of slimy.

The way I see it: customer service sucks real bad now. In San Francisco it sucks incredibly bad. Adding another layer of it is another place for things to get worse.

I completely understand how door dash is useful. But I've been so disappointed that I just don't consider it anymore

The usual answer to this question: "things were shitty in the past"

That seems like the way to go. Also tokamaks etc

Not really. P=NP but the degree of the polynomial is Grahams number doesn't let people into your bank account

Godel says that there are statements that are true but have no proof within that system. It's not about algorithms.

I'm saying it'd be funny if Riemann were true but not proveable.

Though I guess it's actually funnier. If Riemann were false then there would be a counterexample, so it's clearly within existing axioms.

So if one can prove that Riemann isn't proveable in our current axioms then it has to be true.

It's the limitations for sure.

AI has dominion over the digital world, when it can verify things in Lean it's able to crush problems like they're a game of Go.

But when the real world and digital world don't quite connect AI is bottlenecked.

I don't know if that's a "flaw". It's what Godel Incompleteness guarantees.

Would be funny if the most famous problem turns out be an example though

> elegant code

Usually it's the opposite. "That's in prod? And it works? It shouldn't work and I thought it was doing something else. Why does it work?"

Non-doomer perspective is that it'll figure out LK-99 for us. Among other things that would be great to have.

If this tech was being used for traffic enforcement then I'm all for it. Unfortunately it seems like people will still be able to browse their phone behind the wheel and run over kids on bikes despite the surveillance

I would pay a premium to buy actual wine grapes instead of the boring green spheres that usually show up in the grocery store

The problem is that the issue is rarely LVT vs market-rate property taxes.

It's usually up against some insane shit like Prop 13

Amazingly unhinged response to the automated bird picture frame.

Public comment is bad. It gives people with time to comment far more power than those who can't. It's one of the major reasons we can't building housing or high speed rail.

I am surprised that Alpoge wasn't using Anthropic.

I think you are mixing up a couple of things.

Income to rent ratio, which is what this thread is about, varies geographically. Rent eats 30-40% of income in prestige cities like NYC or SF or LA. It's only 25% in Kansas City or Columbus.

You seem to be thinking about overall cost burden over time.

That's not really true. Rent to income ratio varies quite a lot

And based on this comment section we get seriously offended when you point it out.

Housing is expensive in our prestige cities, but that's true in much of the world.

> downsizing in the current market basically means that you pay way more for way less

Can you elaborate on that? It's pretty common for people to sell their 4 bedroom family house and retire to Florida. But it's not "way more for way less"

Really? Given you're on this site I imagine you know at least some technical people. And for the most part we're all very well off.

I don't think that's true. Prop 13 for example is priced into the market. Buyers bid higher because their taxes are frozen. This doesn't take decades to correct.

Market reactions are instant. Once the policy is fixed we don't have to wait for a generation

> prices for land go down, which means it is cheaper to build

By this logic San Francisco should be one of the cheapest places in the world to build

The federal government is paying energy companies to cancel plans to build wind farms:

Yes we're still building renewable energy, but goddamn is our government making it hard.

I'm sure that figure is accurate. And the other person in this thread who commented "the entire energy consumption of two Swedens or half a Thailand" is probably also accurate.

It's not about accuracy, it's about the units people choose when having these discussions
