Personal experience: In my town a public parking lot could not be built due to it possibly being "endangered moth" habitat.

There are places where you can still build things in the US, but they are more and more scarce.

Are you arguing that USA can no longer build parking lots due to environmental concerns? If so, that would indeed be remarkable since parking lots seem to be the facility that almost every US town has been able to build more than enough of.

You are the consumer, not the developer. As such, you have extreme survivorship bias.

Unless you're a developer/builder you have no concept of the projects KILLED by bureaucracy.

All you see is what was allowed to be built.

I’d like to see parking lots go extinct.

Reading the comments here people seem to care more about what is "good" for the individual than what is good for the institution.

If you have learning disability that requires "assistance" at an elite university, then why can't I play in the NBA with stilts while being allowed to double dribble and travel?

Sure would be awesome for me to play in the NBA! Probably wouldn't be good for the NBA though.

The problem with public schools is that they are free and required (essentually). That is a bad combination.

There is really nothing intrinsically good about the average public school. Many are filled with kids that aren't there to learn. From the attitudes seen in this forum, that seems to be OK, because school is paradoxically about "socializing", while most here report being bullied.

As noticed here many home schoolers have religious reasons for their choice. The reason is simple, "Don't send your children to Ceasar and then be upset when they come home as Romans".

> Many are filled with kids that aren't there to learn.

That's on the kid, not contingent on whether school is public.

> most here report being bullied.

Anecdotes like this are not worth much. What do the stats say?

> There is really nothing intrinsically good about the average public school.

Schools don't just socialize, though that is also important. Whether they succeed at educating well depends on more than one factor, but policy & curriculum is clearly one. Kids are better prepared in some countries than others, still through public systems.

If people want to homeschool, let them. Public school should still be assessed accurately.

>That's on the kid, not contingent on whether school is public.

Yes and no. The interest of the kid to learn is on the kid/family, for sure.

However, the fact that a kid who has no interest in learning is forced to go to public school is a function of how public schools operate.

Again, free and required is a bad model. They should either be free and selective or, less ideally, available and costly.

You're assuming that school is decidedly negative if at the outset a kid doesn't "have an interest" in learning. I disagree.

> Again, free and required is a bad model. They should either be free and selective or, less ideally, available and costly.

This is a good way to ensure the most vulnerable members of your society don't get educated. But I suppose that might be a feature to some people.

Educated or babysat?

> it is a cheaper alternative to private school

That depends. Often it means one parent stays home to educate and watch the kids, otherwise, someone else has to, and that usually costs money. If a wife otherwise would bring home a decent salary, then it isn't cheaper.

I literally said in my comment, for people who don't make so much that the loss of one spouse income is so much more than the cost of school

You edited your comment, and also, this:

> e.g. most people

Is false.

Subtract the costs of daycare, summer camps, etc., etc. from that salary, and "decent" can become a pretty high bar.

https://www.childcareaware.org/families/cost-child-care/help... . In my country daycare is subsidized. Notwithstanding, it's not that high of a bar. Two-income households still bring in more net money despite expenses.

There is no "etc etc" in this context, we're talking about watching the kids while parents work.

I think it might be a reflection that there is no more power to run more chips, so chip sales will drop.

Why not start fixing your country instead of retreating constantly?

I'm not sure what you mean.

What is the "real problem"?

In the pursuit of making application development more productive, they ARE solving real problems with mcp servers, skills, custom prompts, etc...

The problems are context dilution, tool usage, and awareness outside of the llm model.

> The problems are context dilution, tool usage, and awareness outside of the llm model.

These is accidental complexity. You’ve already decided on a method and instead of solving the main problem, you are solving the problems associated with the method. Like deciding to go in space with a car and trying to strap a rocket onto it.

So what is the real problem in your view?

This reads more like misdirection than analysis. Suggesting religion is just a collection of empty rituals is just sad.

It's almost as if he's trying to prevent those looking for help from considering religion.

"You don't want those gold bars over there, they're just painted rocks". But are they?

Yeah, I dont know about this. I have HW4 on a new model Y and FSD is excellent.

I can understand older versions may not work as well or have lived up to promises, but my experience has been nothing short of amazing.

The name is misleading, is not “Full Self”!

To an extent. Just not to the extent that dishonesty is rewarded in socialism and communism.

At least Capitalism in a free society is largely self correcting.
