Would this also have been the case had the housing price gone down for you? Or if the housing price had just been flat?

These single use tricks make sure that the housing market will go up for yet another couple of year. But every time a trick like this is applied, it will increase the risk in the system. There are also the issue that there are only that many tricks one can use.


I can't seem to find in the repo what optimizes this language for LLMs and benchmarks for why it works?

The author's answers are toward the bottom of the README, https://github.com/jordanhubbard/nanolang?tab=readme-ov-file...

I understand the effort and it seems like a nice little language but wouldn't it make more sense to target already existing C--, QBE, LLVMIR or similar? There must be "simpler C" languages already which sounds more useful given that LLMs must've been trained on them.

The university should push the maintainance to the holder of the phone? That seems unreasonable.

As mentioned in another comment. Universities already have in house it services. Being able to fix the phone right there with spare parts is likely very cost efficient.


I think the alternative was to contract it out to an IT company rather than push it to the holder. Same as company phones in corporate environments

Likely not.

I am also building some agents. It is almost hands off at this point.


Influences generally don't get to me.

Sitting 2 hours with an Ai agent developing end to end products does.


For me the issue is not so much the sense of accomplishment. Afterall, usually one needs to iterate with promoting until content, so I think many people can still get a sense of accomplishment.

The issue is the loss of control and intimate knowledge about my own work.


Oof - imagine if the rest of the world decided to abduct the US president using the same argument - and oh yeah, Americans better be grateful.


To be analogous, hundreds of US civilians would be murdered leading up to the events and the US itself would be bombed to aid the abduction.


Don't threaten me with a good time.


Especially in the US, this is a strawman. There is simply not enough granularity of choice that you can make voters accountable for every action Trump does.


Trump was wildly transparent about what kind of person he is. In this case, you can and should.


Guy: "Why do we have nukes if we don't use them?"

Same Guy: "If Europe doesn't buy more weapons from us, Russia should invade Europe, torture, plunder and kill people and do their worst."

People: "I guess I vote for that guy!"

Guy randomly bombs Iran, Yemen, Nigeria, Venezuela, Iraq, Somalia and Syria - people "Huh? I didn't vote for this".


The US only has two parties and decisions are decoupled from the wishes of the people.

It is already a stretch to call it a democracy - which is required to insist on democratic reasoning.


The US only has two parties because people only want two parties. The "our team vs. other team" is so ingrained in US all thinking, people can't stop. Football is not played with three teams. The election system doesn't help, but there is nothing in the constitution that says "Only two parties".


It’s because of first past the post voting system.


The polling indicates that the US is desperate for an alternative for something other than the two incumbent parties. They're wildly unpopular and there actually seems to be a political consensus that the US is sliding into ruin which reflects badly on the mainstream policy consensus the majors have been pushing over last few decades.

Just a post ago you identified that Mr. "Why do we have nukes if we don't use them?" was the best available option. That doesn't mean he's a good option, it means there were two choices and the other one was generally seen as the same or worse than Trump. Which given all the stuff that got thrown at Trump is an impressive level of failure.


The two party nature is a part of it - historically it might have worked. I currently it seems like oligarchic structures are what's ruining the democracy.

Regardless, If allowed intellectual hoolahop, then most systems of governance can be argued to be democratic.


I believe the problem with democracy is that it's affected by various problems analogous to the ones of markets, but often amplified.

In this case, to me, it really seems a matter of extreme information asymmetry as you'd never see in a regular market.

Does he actually mean those things, or is that some sort of joke? How do you even know? BTW, he didn't actually use Nukes, and I don't believe he will. On the other hand, he said he wanted to end wars and sounded like he was against starting new ones.

I've seen people regretting voting for Trump because of tariffs, even though they supported tariffs in the first place. They had no idea that Trump's "tariff" would mean some blanket tariffs at those rates. They thought it was some small tariffs on "key industries".

A further confirmation of the information asymmetry is that after a year, support for Trump is far below what would be needed to elect him.

I'm not sure what the solution is.


It is not really binary.

I hate budgeting and still save around half my salary.

Though I do realize that this is a different game for some people, where some need it more than others.


You are the exception. Most people follow the “Parkinson’s Law” for money.


The monster in Paris should not fear getting meat packed anymore!
