You have the cause and effect reversed. Areas densify because they become more expensive. This is the classic “more medicine causes higher mortality” Simpson's paradox.

Edit: Also, looking at one country for less than a generation is not conclusive enough to make a general rule.

American post-war affluence is because of McMansions? That’s certainly a novel theory.

That's pretty much every country including the US.

It’s not accidental. Not infringing copyright isn’t part of the objective function like it would be for a human.

10yr T-bills don't exist. Bills have a <= 1 year maturity. What you are talking about is either treasury bonds or treasury notes.

If fediverse was going to succeed anywhere it would be on places like HN. The average user doesn't even know what "federation" means.

Yep, kind of hard to keep up the facade when you can ”do everything right” and still be unemployed and poor.

Or Superdry, 極度乾燥（しなさい）

Now when they call I guess they'll be directed towards the AI chat bot helpline :)

When you point this out no one will jump in to defend them. If you say the same about ChatGPT your inbox will suddenly be full of people telling you you're just using it wrong (see this reply chain for example).

If modern society is inherently alienating, then SSRI's & others are not an ideal long-term solution at a societal level. Not sure how believing that makes me a puritan.

You'll never be able to afford a house or kids. The rich are getting richer at your expense. Earth's climate is on it's last legs. But at least you'll get to smoke weed and waste away in your 1bdr rental, apathetic to your meaningless and sad life.

Seems like a great deal for the younger generation.

But it's not the users fault if the question is correct and unambiguous. To continue with the hammer analogy, that's like landing a perfect hit on a nail and the hammer's head somehow falls off and richochets into the user's eye.

If you hit yourself with a hammer, that’s your fault because you did something wrong. Comparatively, you can pose a completely correct and unambiguous question to ChatGPT and still get a wrong answer. I don’t like this implicit shifting of blame to the user when it’s the tool that is flawed.

Stoves are often 400v here in Europe at least.

Developer incentives often don't the buyer's. Leaky pipes can be a nightmare to maintain but the developer obviously doesn't care.

You think a manhattan apartment costs what it does because of the electric stove?

.tv and .ru, that’s 2.

To do what exactly? Click send on the mass email?

Feeling like you’re productive can feel pretty nice.

You could theoretically set up multiple competing government agencies, each with their own root key. That would deal even with organisational risk.

There are also multiple countries

Most of these new cars are heavily financed.

That’s on the failures of public planning. Nothing inherently makes walkable places more expensive.

That's usually when I get really depressed :(

The investors can just replace the board.

You should still be able to use them freely. "Who profits" is what should be regulated. If this can't be mandated at a global level, autarky starts looking like a pretty good option.

Good, the current incentives are pretty perverse.

Isn't this really bad for OpenAI? Essentially, this means Meta/Google/others will catch up to them pretty soon and there is nothing OpenAI can do in the near future to get further ahead.
