Probably commenting too late for folks to actually see it, but there's a great game made in 3d hyperbolic/euclidean/elliptic/weird combos of those in different dimensions known as Hyerbolica: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1256230/Hyperbolica/ He's got a great devlog on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMKLeS-Uq_8&list=PLh9DXIT3m6...

The author is also making a golf game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2147950/4D_Golf/?curator_...

A tax on the speculative portion of the home (land).

Do you buy a car as a financial investment? No, you buy it to turn money into motion.

Housing turns money into living. Don't expect a financial return on things you buy to keep you alive

Land value tax would solve this.

And if most people end up renters, they've killed their middle-class allies against a robust LVT among home owners.

Anyone know about the utility of Covered California equivalents in other states? That market saved my spouse and I (we both have chronic diseases and can't afford to have bad insurance) post-grad school where we weren't entitled to COBRA (because grad students are neither students nor workers, apparently).

They're literally just plugging in negative numbers for freshman physics equations. I wouldn't think too deeply about it..

> It's amazing to me that in all this time Duolingo hasn't added a "supplementary materials" section.

They have(had?) one on the web version, but I think they cut it.

SUV's are station wagons built to exploit the small truck emissions loophole. Station wagons are great, SUVs are just wasteful.

In which GPT demonstrates that it has no logical consistency or model of the world.

This is called the baumol effect. It's certainly part of the picture.

Until the government funding agencies are willing to do "big science" in computer science we're not going to get particle accelerator sized projects. It sort of happened in France, and bloom was the result.

Thankfully they haven't added a "no mute Elon" feature. Yet.

In that case you're using it wrong, since it seems to be primarily about withdrawing ones economic activity from the market, rather than removing a particular good from the market [0]. I'm asking you because you seem to think you've read people who use the term rigorously, and I'm asking you to give a reference in some way shape or form.

What specifically do you mean by it then?

Give it a couple of years to get the basics down. Though I suppose offering particularly weird stuff could help with the prestige/high price phase of things.

Also I should really reread Transmetropolitan, its a great series.

One that's not on there that's excellent for generating whole worlds: Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator: https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/

if you buy into god, angels are on par with aliens, possibly even more probably present.

If I could actually follow the edges myself, rather than getting put on a rail, this would be awesome. As it is, it has the scrolling-but-not-actually that I hate about some modern websites. Such as some data presentations at NYT and other papers.

My partner, who is a biologist, hates this take as a mostly grammar trick. Then again, she has no patience for philosophy in general, so that probably explains it.

> all traffic originates in industry, and don't seem to "return" to industry in Cities Skylines

It absolutely does come back? I've had major traffic headaches from returning trucks. If I don't build rail for trucks, my cities are usually screwed over by that.

> Maximize the distance of these singular roads, and build out your road system like a computer-science definition of a tree. Its not very realistic, but it solves more or less all the issues of Cities Skylines. (Or perhaps it is realistic, and matches the behavior of neighborhood planners in the real world).

Trees create massive chokepoints when traveling within the city, so I don't think its likely to work in a large city (though if you squint, road hierarchy is somewhat tree-like, I suppose, though with more intra-branch connections). I suspect you simply haven't gotten cities big enough to actually have traffic, especially if you think most traffic is trucks. It does take a bit for personal car traffic to be heavy enough to be a problem.

The unique thing about car traffic vs station demand is that the overall speed depends on the quantity of cars on the road, with maximal throughput occurring before a fully occupied road. That's how you get weird effects like Braess paradox.

OpenTTD is much better at simulating public transit systems, Cities Skylines is better at simulating traffic.

Openttd is a great logistics simulator, but it's not really a traffic simulator. Traffic by it's nature requires a lot of independent agents deciding how to use a shared resource, and the resulting conflicts, like Braess' paradox[0]. As far as I've seen, the only game that does well at this is Cities Skylines. OpenTTD on the other hand is my favorite part of factorio.

Strange, I did get a confirm on my android on Firefox

Everyone should read about the Luddites. Turns out this debate has happened before, except with more smashing.

Just because there are new jobs doesn't mean the people whose jobs were automated out of existence will be able to take them. This is the whole "teach truckers to write code" thing from back when people thought the next wave of automation would be self-driving, rather than art.

Any tips for breaking into the field? Been doing ml/signal processing type stuff towards the end of grad school, but did some diffeq/dynamical systems stuff at the beginning and was considering pivoting towards biological applications of ML. Interviewed with pumas.ai last summer but they eventually turned me down.

Same, but with doom instead. It has a sensible set of defaults and easy ways of installing packages. I haven't declared config bankruptcy since moving to doom.

Gadget bikes for the wealthy in it as a hobby really are a world of their own.

Land value tax would solve this.
