I still don't think we can put out the fire by pouring more fuel.

For instance, rents are proportionally related to the income of the population. How can we prevent the extra cash flow from being translated into higher rent/housing prices? If I have that extra cash, I would certainly 'leverage' it to expand my real estate portfolio :)

That said, I don't object to UBI per se and I agree that the Fed's policy would lead to some undesirable consequences. But without addressing the problem systematically, UBI would go nowhere better, I am afraid.

I disagree.

There are two kinds of goods. The ones like computers and phones which are steadily getting cheaper and the ones like housing whose price has got inflated enormously. Remember how we tried to fix the education problem by student loans and how we tried to alleviate the housing burden by mortgage tax deduction and subsidies of interests? I don't think the problem is people are unable to afford milk or a shiny iPhone. It is the price of housing, education, and healthcare.

It is absurdly contradictory to attribute declining homeownership to "homeowners did poorly in asset-based prosperity".

At least for my use scenario in embedded systems, performance is not necessarily worse with GC and nondeterminism is not a showstopper either. The problem is avoidable by proactively minimizing allocations in the hot paths or arranging 'critical sections' that disable GC temporarily. The deal-breaker is the memory footprint.

Looks promising and I haven't found an obvious pitfall (designs that I don't like) except the coupling with LLVM.

I wonder if there is any feature that makes it unable to be translated to efficient C and therefore preventing it from bootstrapping with a C backend like Nim and V. I'll look forward to the self-hosting compiler.

In the EU that is probably true due to mature policies and infrastructure. But in many other countries, they still need government interventions to make initiatives. I anticipate that market-driven growth will become prevalent throughout the world.

1. Electric vehicles will be mainstream.

2. Self-driving will be deployed effectively in freight transport.

3. The cost and efficiency of logistics will be lowered further and become an important factor in economic growth.

4. Pressure on the market of commercial real estate due to the lower cost of logistics.

5. Wind (especially offshore wind farms) and solar become cost-effective energy sources.

6. Technology leaps in battery and energy storage.

7. AI/ML will find its niche in industrial infrastructure more than consumer goods/services.

8. Desktops and laptops made of SoCs become the norm.

9. RISC-V commoditizes certain aspects of the chip design industry and will grow an impactful ecosystem.

10. Cash will be diminished by the market and the pushes from governments, which will be replaced by digital transactions.

As if managers had no way to interrupt you before Slack came into existence.

I am also interested in using a language like Go for ML. The reason is not really about performance though. I just find statically typed languages are much easier to debug when the size of projects are getting bigger.
