Its a misnomer to believe that “Florida is only a few feet above sea level”. Immediate costal/beach areas of course are, but most of Florida is well above sea level. Most of the people moving to Florida are not wealthy, but middle class folk, and are not buying in the coastal areas. They buy far enough inland that sea level rise if it happens at all to a danger level will have zero affect on anything but future beach quality. Might make the distance to the beach a mile or two shorter.

The rich who are buying coastal properties aren’t buying with 2100 in mind, they are buying with 2022 in mind.

Makes me ponder what kind of video games an _advanced_ AI could create on the fly.

People talk about the impact of DALL E on art, but what if it goes _further_? How complex of an RPG world could an AI build around a player?

To the naysayers; decades ago it was impossible for a computer to display images like the ones DALL E makes. For a good chunk of computer history even holding these image bytes in memory would have been a feat.

Timelines aside, it’s fun to ponder about.

YouTube likely won't change, the profit is too big even if the model is failing.... They exist to make big brand partnerships that make them tons of money, they generate tons of money from embedded ads on content they don't have to pay for, and they collect lots of independent revenue from any account that wants to be viewed by charging for paid promotion fr visibility.... Pure profit.

YouTube also has volumes of content, most of which barely gets seen, while they have a massive user base that is regularly unsatisfied with recommendations they get, and a creator base that makes no money despite grinding immeasurably on original content. Content thiefs regularly get rewarded big on the platform.

The content ID system is abused by black hat hackers regularly to make money and YouTube does relatively little to stop it because it doesn't cut into their overall platform revenue. The content ID system also serves big business in supporting a gate for what is sampled and remixed, and it frequently is only applied to medium and small creators, which often blacklists those creators from the site altogether.

The content ID system has also helped me in small ways to protect my own IP, as I've found that a few people have directly copied my own content and re-upload it as their own, so it's not all bad, but if they slow my video down by a tiny bit, or change the audio in one of many other ways content ID is totally useless...

There are thousands of accounts that transform audio (slowing it down slightly and doing other things like adding reverb to audio) on video clips, which literally steals money from creators and musicians on the platform. Audio is one of the primary facets of content ID on Youtube.

YouTube's technical support is extremely weak, because they really don't care about anything other than pleasing shareholders now because of the long line of people who upload endless streams of video content in hopes of being discovered, but the market is totally saturated with creators, and small creators only make pennies because they're always pitted against hackers and large corporations with lots of money for attention.

YouTube is still useful if you know how to dig deep and find content where people aren't stretching out presentations just to improve their "watch time" metrics or following the scripts of creating bright thumbnail images, using clickbait-ey titles, and saying "like, follow, and subscribe" over and over again in every video.

YouTube won't change until people stop following the fake sense of conformity it encourages. The majority of platform creators are spending tons of money and time creating content that only works on YouTube ritually for no pay, and subjecting themselves to rules based on whims of YouTube executives, that work to please shareholders and major accounts, not to find new talent and to drive innovation for the platform that benefits creators.

When I have a project I'm really exited about working on I'm productive and it feels great, when it's something I have to do for the business but I don't love the project, I'm slow and doing the work is a grind.

This is completely normal. There is a conflict between what you know on a deep level and the false consciousness you are required to uphold, and that you do uphold by completing the work.

The ground truth is that, even though your boss probably isn't a bad or mean person, he too has a boss, who has a boss, and following the chain one almost always finds a vested interest in a corrupt status quo whereby a small set of hereditarily connected rent-seekers who stifle progress and don't care about anything but expanding their own wealth and power.

You can make money by collecting small donations from normal, decent people, but there aren't that many to go around, because the fact is that normal humans have almost no economic freedom. Modulo a rounding error, all money is blood money: it comes either from wealthy people and corporations who have evil intentions, or from governments that might have decent intentions but have been corrupted by evil psychopaths from the private-sector elite.

The fact that rich people are paying us to do something is as strong a signal as there could be that what we're doing is poisoning the world, possibly in a way we don't fully understand. Plus, any time we do something as a subordinate, we know that if we perform too well, we are sending a signal to people who are humiliating us (even if in a superficially professional and kind way) that treating us as subordinates works, and encouraging them to humiliate us even more.

The only reason the system doesn't collapse in an afternoon is that we're indoctrinated into bourgeois false consciousness. But something tells me you knew that already.
The other big problem here is that it would only be useful for trans-oceanic trips (i.e., international). This is American Airlines.

Who in their right mind wants to spend top dollar to fly internationally on an American airline, worst of all AA, one of the two worst airlines on the planet?

Anyone with some money who wants a nice international flight is going to take one of the Asian or Middle Eastern airlines, not one of the shitty American-run airlines. The level of service is so far superior it's not even funny. AA is infamous for their horrible service in First Class.
You can throw TFA around all you like but

> Also, according to US federal sentencing guidelines, insider trading actually gets you harsher punishment compared to theft[2], 2 more points to be exact. For the duo mentioned in TFA, it's a difference between 10–16 months (for theft) and 15–21 months (for insider trading).

Is demonstrably false because as TFA says, the penalty for insider trading is a fine, no jail time, and no need to admit guilt.

> I suspect the reason for the lack of fines is that they didn't actually do anything illegal, or that they were difficult to prosecute, not because it's legal to defraud people.

Yet we know from multiple trials, and multiple lawsuits, that what they were doing is in fact illegal, because if what they were doing _was_ legal then instead of saying "most had no jail time" I would be saying "none had any jail time", instead of "only paying back a quarter" they would not have had to pay back any.
I was thinking the same thing but you likely have an area to work with however L1 points are unstable as it is and require satellites to alter the courses every once in a while potentially if you use the magnetic field as a light sail slightly in front of the point you'd be balanced between the sun and mars with less active thrust

Puts the claims that the nuclear industry is over-regulated in a different light. Maybe it is, but this article clearly show why it had to evolve that way.
You can also pin most packages to testing, but allow packages from unstable/experimental to be installed but pinned at lower priority and also pin security updates from unstable at a higher priority. I think this approach is the best of both worlds.
The chip hasn't changed much since I posted the article.

It is conceivable, that a popular artist will become replicated using an automated method or a manual one. We see that happening all the time with music and art. The best artists are the ones who influenced others the most.

I agree, VPNs were absolutely not always used to hide internet activity, but sometimes they were. Early on they were certainly most often used by companies to connect networks or to connect to resources on their intranet, the need (and the money) was primarily there, but I'm not surprised that using VPNs for privacy reasons got more popular as time went on. Even back then I thought it was pretty cool/useful tech and I had no LAN to speak of.

Which means it would have to run continuously. Which completely defeats the purpose of having a plug-in hybrid, which is to make most trips using only battery.
Come on now that's not really fair. It is totally legal for Nancy's husband to invest in companies and then for Nancy to push and kill laws that work in the financial interests of those companies. Even if you could prove Nancy was a total crook and the profit motive of that trading was driving her political dealings at the expense of the taxpayers, even with total documentary proof of it, it's not at all illegal. So calling insider trading isn't a legal definition at all.

It's not illegal so it's fine is something of a mantra around here.

But Trump is as crooked as he was weak and I honestly believe that too.
Bingo! We are artificially pricing gold incorrectly! USA has very little gold compare to others like Russia and China. Nixon realized this in the 70s and then we have fiat dollars. Most people don't know the price of gold other than what is being advertised on the market which is based on paper gold mostly. Having gold as valuable can undermine USA petroldollar dominance and bad for America in general as gold commodity USA has very little to influence worldwide order.

Well, that's probably why the chip wasn't super-popular :-) The chip reduces your part count somewhat -- it would take a bunch of TTL chips to replace it -- but it's not like a microcontroller that solves your problem entirely.
TBI is a generic term. The article doesn’t mention the nature of TBI, or include CAT scans.

TBI is severe with GCS 5 at the time of admission (thresholds are 8 and 12). The patient shouldn’t be able to read academic papers in neurology a week after accident! A lesion in the brain so bad that changes personality like that is expected to come with significant overall disability. So I can’t make sense of this presumably sensationalized story!

> - Is Raft alone in this space, or are there other popular algorithms/libraries that fill the same space?

to give an obvious answer, blockchains are one of the methods used for trustless consensus (imagine how things could go wrong in RAFT's case if the leader was malicious)
I agree. This is one of the big factors that I haven't seen thoroughly addressed on this topic: no matter how capable AI tools are at interpreting broad declarative prompts there's still a wide degree of complexity in expressing detail and subtlety that I don't think they'll be able to match anytime soon, if ever.

The author gives the example of needing dozens of images to accompany scenes in his book. If you feed DALL-E something like: "create a panoramic view of a grey ocean with four mountains and an ominous dark sky", then sure, it can handle that prompt fine. It'll do a great job at broadly interpreting adjectives and phrases that are unambiguous. Mass produced art for advertising/media is going to change drastically because it doesn't need precision.

However, once you introduce specificity and detail the tools are going to suck. For example, telling it to generate a portrait of a specific person with subtlety in expression, body language, pose, and demeanor. It'll create something that looks aesthetically sane but not anywhere near what you had in mind.

And just for some extra counter-predictions of my own:

- The novelty of seeing thousands of "good enough" images in mass media is going to wear off

- AI generated images will become obvious to the average person

- Society will largely get tired of AI art due to the lack of novelty

- The utter collapse of the art profession some are predicting is never going to come
Technically imperfect and “a scam” are very different things
From Nate Silver: “This article is full of terrible statistical logic. Yes, it's hard to exactly quantify the risk of a highly deadly nuclear accident. By nature, tail events are rare. There is intrinsically some guesswork. But empirically the chances are very low.

The author also blatantly cheats by counting Fukushima as 3 separate accidents, as though they occurred independently from one another and didn't have a common cause like oh I dunno a magnitude 9 earthquake.“

As much as I'd like torrents to be more tolerated, there is a difference in that the torrent sites contain the .torrent files which contains all the necessary info to download files. ie, They're supplying more than just a link.
Yeah, I agree with that. I think the best answer to that is georgist; one could argue that an average piece of land is extremely cheap, so there's no problem, everyone can get one; but if people want a specific piece of land, and many people want the same ones, a distribution mechanism is needed.

It's basically a 'black swan' problem. Even if the average risk of catastrophic failure is low, the consequences are very high, particularly if the plant is near a populated area that might be converted into a 50-mile radius 'exclusion zone'. Imagine, for example, if Indian Point nuclear power plants suffered a catastrophic failure and forced evacuation of Manhattan?

Practically this means costs of nuclear power plants are very high, as you have to over-engineer them relative to other power sources. Natural gas and coal plant accidents are relatively common, for example; similarly oil refineries suffer fires on a regular basis. However, Texas City (site of a major BP disaster in 2005) is not currently a 100-year no-go-zone. Here's a 5-minute video on how that played out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9JY3eT4cdM

Point being, there's no way to reduce nuclear power upfront costs without also introducing unacceptable risks, and that's a major reason why nuclear isn't going to replace fossil fuels on a global scale (along with the uranium ore to fuel rod to waste pile supply chain issues,decommissioning costs, etc.)

There's no catastrophic failure mode for a solar/wind/storage based grid, and that's one of several reasons why nuclear will remain little more than a niche provider.
But those games are definitely better with deliberate and bespoke flavor art imo. But yeah, if you're on a budget, that's probably the best use-case.

I don't believe it has to do with X country takes food more seriously. I do believe it has to do with labelling at some point, say something that is labelled from X country but is coming in from Y country. The person bringing it in from Y country will argue the label is true and that it is from X country but it just costs less in Y country. But, how can border agents guarantee that it is what the label says it is? They can't. Same thing with that prosciutto, you say it is Italian made but there is no way border agents can honestly guarantee that it is and that any possible bugs/bacteria/etc aren't in it. Also, I believe that it is the whole transport of such meat/agriculture products. Things like temperatures, packaging, labelling, etc are important when it comes to food safety. Something that is deemed unfit for human consumption may get a pass elsewhere. I'm pretty sure it is an 80% of the stuff out there is safe but 20% is unsafe so customs just tackles all 100% as unsafe to prevent mistakes.
I also don't have direct experience, but I would guess some of the same things that motivate someone to run afoul of the SEC would motivate someone else to conspire with them rather than "kill the golden goose."
