No, the goal is to facilitate optimal use of land. The fact that parking lots are inefficient is a coincidence and you will likely find that your "community center" is equally useless. By "unbalancing" this and that and whatever you personally prefer for ideological reasons, you are undermining the whole system.

Well, Apple is doing it. The touchpad experience on macbooks is really on another level than all other laptops and one of the main reasons that's keeping me there.

It's a gimmik

How is the primary way of interacting with your computer being good a gimmick?

I try to use my partner’s windows laptop and it’s borderline unusable for me. She only almost uses it with a mouse plugged in. Meanwhile I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone plug in a mouse to a MacBook that wasn’t docked to a monitor and keyboard.

All they have to do is keep being close behind OpenAI and Anthropic for half the price and the US economy will plummet into a deep recession when it becomes clear that there will never be a payoff for the enormous investments of the past years. If they can also achieve a breakthrough in robotics, then they are on track to become the most powerful country for the next 50 years.

Was this written by AI? I even read the "technical paper" and still don't understand what it's supposed to do. Nowhere does it explain how this "checkpointing" and "resuming a continuation" actually works in practice.

Fair point. The paper explains the execution model and evaluation, but I should have included a concrete source-to-continuation transformation. I kept the implementation discussion too abstract while the design was still evolving.

Essentially, the compiler lowers the program into an explicit state machine, and a committed checkpoint contains the next state identifier along with live values and any relevant control states needed to resume execution. For recovery, a fresh runtime hydrates that frame and resumes directly from the saved state rather than replaying the completed history.

If you include all the stay-at-home wives that do nothing but watch TV all day, you reach those 30% easily. Add to that the college students who only work part time. If you also include pensioners, kids and disabled you find out that only around 15-30% of the population actually work and support everyone else. And again, of those that do work, a significant portion is bureaucrats that have to be paid from taxes of people with a productive job.

The word "unemployment" has academic and colloquial meanings that overlap in places and diverge in other places. Neither of those include a person who is happily living their life, not looking for a job.

Nobody considers a 2-year-old "unemployed" but the Heritage foundation, certain eugenics groups, and people on HN. It's a fringe view.

She wasn't "erased". "Popularizing" something just isn't particularly notable.

More likely it's someone from India (or much less likely China) refusing to use the facilities as intended.

No it isn't.

I know that it's hurting me. Hard to imagine that children are any less affected by it.

Customers already pay for the disposal. You could achieve the same thing by requiring sellers to list in checkout how much the disposal of their packaging will cost. That's a 10 minute change for Claude Code, but of course then it would not give more money and power to the useless bureaucrats.

First of all that's a weaker signal to the manufacturer/seller to make changes as it'd only indirectly affect them.

It's also moot - in most (all?) European cities you only pay for waste but not recycling (paper, plastic, glas, aluminum, etc.). Those are free and paid for by exactly the kind of recycling fees we're discussing here.
