You don't really need to look for extremes, though. Even jumping up one brand "level", you see differences in the "details". I (generally) won't buy anything below the Nissan/Toyota/Honda level, and usually the middle range car (eg. Nissan Maxima). At that level, you start to see all the little things that make driving a pleasure; lumbar support, heated steering wheel, etc. You tend not to get those details when you move one level down, and they can make a pretty big difference when it comes to enjoyment.

I'm sure the situation will improve eventually, but I'm guessing we're still several decades away and that it'll take advances in both sensor technology and software before driverless cars work at the same level as a human driver in all conditions. In perfect weather, on perfect roads, with minimal traffic and zero surprises the tech works mostly OK now, but those are basically lab conditions and not the reality most of us drive in today.

Although we have machines that now cut and bind books, the best book binding (and most aesthetic) are done by hand by enthusiasts on, e.g., Reddit. Moreover, such book binders don't feel threatened by machines, I would think, like how people who do DIY do it because they like it, rather than because they have to do it.

Even if an AI can write an essay, that would not stop me from writing. Essays have another important dimension, which is that of creativity and the message. I think the only real relevance is in the context of school work, outside of that I don't think the AI's ability is that important. People are intelligent already, and competition between writers or the general tendency to influence each other sometimes is even a good thing.
It's not hard to solve. We've known the solution for years now. Don't do it.

You can either keep your experience confined to the user's play boundary. You can teleport people to new locations. You can let people walk to the edge of their boundary and use a gesture of some kind (e.g. flicking one of their thumbsticks on their controller) to turn them around to do "redirected walking". You can provide a "strong stomach" mode to walk at constant velocity in the direction the person is looking. Or you can stick the user in a "vehicle" with clear visual cues that they are in said vehicle. And that's it. There is nothing else you can do.
That is correct, it requires that the BIOS set up the appropriate machine check vectors and initialize RAM during POST. My current desktop with 32GB gets 2 - 3 single bit errors a month. (it has a Xeon, will be replacing it with a Ryzen 3000 series relatively soon with 128GB of RAM)

Jeff: Tip for future posts of this nature: a link to a help page or other unauthenticated page showing the actual plans would be helpful. I'm on my phone and can't auth to my aws account to explore the new system but would have loved to take a peek at what the actual plans and pricing are. I'm sure their are other techys on here in the same boat.

Your article implies that the only way to see this info is to login to your was console but you can't assume everybody who would be interested in switching to aws now that you have this system has one or would bother to set one up to explore this feature. And I'm sure there does exist some public listing I'm just pointing out how better this could have been communicated.

Why do they have to pay someone to take the electricity? I could take a dollar bill and rip it in half (perhaps not legally, but besides the point). I understand there's costs to shutting down a system. So, they might keep it running.

But what I don't get: the electricity producer has to pay someone to take the excess electricity off their hands? The producer can't route the excess to, well... nowhere?

I find the creation of physics-inspired sociological models distasteful. It's often a way of manufacturing certainty and authority through mathematical obsfucation.

It always runs the same way. First, you think of some political opinion you want to support. Then you come up with a mathematically trivial toy model that throws away 99% of the structure of the problem, whose few dynamical rules are artificially chosen so that they obviously will produce the result you want. (Though this part may look intimidating, it's not once you know how the game is played; I can easily cook up a toy model that "proves" any given political opinion upon request.) Then you put a lot of energy into solving the model in all kinds of cases, showing off your mathematical skills.

The end result of all such social models is a set of predictions that are only tenuously linked to reality. A common example of such a claim is "X follows a power law". But the models are usually too weak to actually calculate the power in the power law, and the data too tenuous to even show you have a power law at all. (Most of the time this is done by showing a fuzzy cloud of points on a log-log plot with a tiny range, drawing a line through it (ignoring the fact that literally anything can be fit with a line if you zoom in enough) and declaring victory.)

The point of mathematics is to make your postulates and predictions precise. If your postulates are obviously unrealistic, and your predictions are too vague to be meaningful, then the mathematics isn't serving any purpose -- except for giving your work a false authority.

Can't speak for other countries but numerous reports have come out over the years showing younger Australians are definitely on track to have a lower standard of living than the previous generation, for the first time in history.

Perhaps instead of highly loaded phrases such as brainwashing would you take a moment to review the evidence of this occurring?

It's an unprecedented time in history, real assets are worth more than ever, labor worth very little. Consider which generations have which.

Why waste energy on a system that's designed to grow increasingly inefficient over time (Crypto PoW mining), when you could simply store the energy or use it on something that is helpful to the local community, as in food or manufacturing?
one of the vetting regimes that has the most publicly available information about it is the US government's

Why wouldn’t the information be public? It’s the same concept as crypto algos being published and peer-reviewed.
That's an extreme overgeneralization that's wrong in just the right places to be misleading. While there is a reduction in energy expenditure associated with the reduction of caloric intake, it is not equivalent to the reduction in caloric intake.

For instance, in a study of obese women, a reduction of (4.3 +-(4.6) kcal/kg) was observed in a calorie restriction diet of 20kcal/kg

Similarly, in a different study, a 30% calorie intake reduction was linked to only about a 5% reduction in total energy expenditure.

CI-CO is not a perfect model, in that it doesn't perfectly estimate weight loss rates, but the general concept holds true.

Much like how they found the bushmeat apes as a source and with madcow prions, when a whole bunch of people are getting sick it's usually pretty easy to use statistics to determine a common food or infection source.

Size of trees can't save them from the savannah.
My first year at a community college I was doing work study that was part of my FAFSA. I was late getting in there and I had limited options, one was working in the cafeteria, the other was working for the very job placement center that was tasked with finding me a work study job.

I got very lucky here. The work study job in the job placement center was turning job listings that were faxed in into html to post on our fresh new website. Nobody at the time new what HTML was.

A few years earlier I had bought a "Learn HTML in 24 hours book" and I made a Tony Hawk Pro Skater webpage that listed all the special moves. I used a lot if iframes and thought it was pretty good. CSS wasn't really a thing back then. iframes and tables got the job done.

But I got the job and they thought they got very lucky. I worked in this back room with a computer and a fax machine. Jobs listings would be faxed in. I would scan them and let the OCR software try, and then I would clean it up and add some <h> and <b> tags and then do my econ homework for the rest of my shift.

But as the digital stuff become more popular they hired another guy to be in the back room with me. Dude was a bit of a creep and a student came in looking for a part time job that would work around her classes. He kept on going on about how hot she was. A few weeks later he was talking about he signed up for a few of the classes the hot girl was taking.

Every single student record was available on our computers. Names, address, phone numbers, class schedule, SSN, FAFSA data. It was madness.

And I was a lowly fax to html guy.
I don't know what kind of cannabis you're smoking but generally cannabis provides a distraction away from the present moment, which is the opposite of what you want.

Amphetamines may help, but they also increase tension. One of the key and most important factors in meditation practice is tranquility which is the opposite of even subtle muscle tension.

Magic mushrooms while not always ideal, induce a near identical brain state to deep meditation, so you get an idea of what is possible. I wouldn't say it hinders meditation, but it's not something that benefits meditation in the long run.

Keep in mind many of the popular kinds of meditation (eg Mindfulness Meditation) you begin to naturally identify when you're distracted. If you can't do that sober (yet) that should be the goal, to the point you don't have to rely on chemicals to achieve it.
I would argue processors are never commodities anymore (maybe back in the 486 days it was closer). You can't swap an intel for an amd processor into the same motherboard ever today. They don't have the same performance characteristics from one to another. You could have 2 "3.5Ghz 4-core processors" that have wildly different real-world performance. IMO this is the opposite of "fungible"

I think hard drives, memory, power supplies are much closer to being fungible.

No, you can always start from scratch and make your own tools, invent your own techniques and products, etc. What you're seeing is that it's much much easier to get things if you work as part of the economy than if you go it alone. This is because the economy is already bootstrapped, through the work of countless millions of people who came before you. Nothing's stopping you from doing it yourself except for the fact that you don't want to because it's much harder to make things yourself than to get a job and then buy things.
Even if you managed to get direct access to production through the special room's direct link, you'd still need a special kind of credentials to send RPCs to any service.

There was a video with some of the datacenter security measures, e.g. iris scanning (just to get yours in the DB required approvals from senior people). On the actual floor, to which very few have actual access, you need to badge both on your way in and out, individually. If you badge out without having badged in, the door won't open and an alarm will go off.

Not at that levels of output. With large enough machines it's "we're going to spend X to spin everything down, do maintenance checks, spin back up" vs "we're going to pay you X/2 so you take the output and we can keep going". The X may be spent on extra workers, on extra maintenance, on replacement for posts that wear out faster, etc. It's the cost of unusual operation.

And once you're generating there's no great way to just "disconnect" in many cases. If you disconnect the load, the charge still has to go somewhere. Preferably not into nearby equipment. Even the safety switches are non-trivial when dealing with high power - if you break a cable connection, the electric arc will still keep them connected.
Savings Plans will always match as long as there is usage somewhere and you're not overcommitted. Standard RIs can get mismatched even with other uncovered usage, but can be disposed of via the RI Marketplace (that of course assumes there is a buyer out there somewhere). Once you make a Savings Plan commit, you are stuck with it. They have different "benefits".

Synchrony/JC Penney notifications addressed to others in my Sbcglobal/Yahoo mail
Initially thought they were phishing emails, or at least scammy Spam, but after further inspection these do look legit in the sense that they're actual statement notifications from Synchrony.Although I do have Synchrony accounts, none of them are JC Penney. I received 2 of these, each sent to different recipients (both different names, last 4 digits of account numbers, statement balances, 2 different sbcglobal.net emails). What I'm wondering is at which end the screwup is, Synchrony or Sbcglobal/Yahoo so the culprit can be notified. I wanted to check if anyone else has seen this or similar, and if so, which email provider you're using.
I wish these prices were reflected to the consumer. Electricity bills in South Australia are ridiculous, and as a renter you don't have the luxury of installing solar panels.
I think the dominant question here is, "I have this machinery that produces electricity, and it's hooked up to the grid. Why can't I also hook it up to the ground, and -- during periods of negative prices -- send the electricity into the ground instead of the grid?" Nobody charges you to ground your wires.

>There's an entire thread[1] up here where people from the UK are saying the same thing

Yeah, they are talking about the infraction, not the word. The point I had been making

>My argument is simple: try translating "jaywalker" into literally any other language. You can't. "Jaywalker" as a concept only exists in the US.

I can translate into Russian: "пешеход, совершивший переход проезжей части в неположенном месте". Don't know other languages but I am sure not every country is like a UK, where, according to comments here, everyone can just walk into traffic at any moment so everyone drives at 30kmh :)

>On top of that, you literally can't label a person as a "jaywalker" in Russian. Mind-blowing, right? Languages are fun.

You cannot label a person a "speeder" or "tailgater" in Russian too. Wow! Languages are fun indeed.

I'm going to hazard a guess.

If we assume the numbers for a sort of medium-size nuclear plant, we've got a total power generation of 500MW.

Dumping that kind of power is... hard.

If I haven't missed an order of magnitude, that's enough to boil an Olympic-sized swimming pool in about 25 minutes (500MW to boil 2.5ML of water, assuming STP).

So you'd either need to build and maintain the infrastructure to burn that kind of energy when it isn't needed (not cheap) or just sell the power at a loss (likely cheaper).
There's nothing wrong with ArXiv. There's a lot of bad stuff on there, but the overall quality there is higher than the average published work, which is dominated by the many many low-tier journals out there.
The question is not how to reduce or cope with inequality. Rather, the question is: why is there wealth in the first place? Why have billions of people risen out of poverty over the last few centuries?
It's a joke site, it generates random excuses for data breaches.
I think the power grid should be socialised and electricity handed out for free, especially given our increasing dependency on it. Solar is technically "free" energy given there's nothing to setup and maintain except the infrastructure, versus coal/oil/gas which requires mining, refining and transportation of materials before you get to the generating and delivery parts of the process.
> That's an extreme overgeneralization that's wrong in just the right places to be misleading. While there is a reduction in energy expenditure associated with the reduction of caloric intake, it is not equivalent to the reduction in caloric intake.

I didn't mean to imply that it was 1:1, just that the model doesn't hold entirely.

> CI-CO is not a perfect model, in that it doesn't perfectly estimate weight loss rates, but the general concept holds true.

In general, I suppose, however most people aren't trying to lose weight but rather fat. Consuming sugar causes a spike in insulin, and insulin triggers the uptake of sugar in the blood by adipose tissue as fat, and actively prevents the release of fats stored therein. [1]

So in the most literal sense, CI-CO works, in that (net of the 16% reduction in TEE relative to your reduction in CI per your data) you're going to need to get the calories from somewhere. However, if you eat 30% less calories than your BMR entirely as sugar, you're much more likely to be burning alcohol, glycogen and protein than fat, certainly in the near term.

If you combine that with the "eat 6 meals per day" fad and you're in for a seriously tough time losing fat. On the other hand if you at 30% less calories than your BMR entirely as sugar in one sitting over 20 minutes and fasted the remaining 23h30 you may actually lose fat, since that'll give your body time with low insulin levels.

Let me re-state: CI-CO is a very inadequate model for losing fat.

Some places have flexible pricing, where electricity costs more at certain times, which allows users of electricity to do this. I don't think it should be the grids responsability to do that kind of scheduling. It would be nice if everywhere we had some kind of hourly pricing adjustment that would fluxuate within some predefined price range, then you could hook into the grids api to determine when to run your appliances.
> However, seawater concentrations of uranium are controlled by steady-state, or pseudo-equilibrium, chemical reactions between waters and rocks on the Earth, both in the ocean and on land. And those rocks contain 100 trillion tons of uranium. So whenever uranium is extracted from seawater, more is leached from rocks to replace it, to the same concentration. It is impossible for humans to extract enough uranium over the next billion years to lower the overall seawater concentrations of uranium, even if nuclear provided 100% of our energy and our species lasted a billion years.
