> Do you think you would get his 11-12 million listeners to agree with you on what society should expect? Who gets to decide that?

I'm not sure why you presume that "we, as society, should expect better" means "this applies only to Joe Rogan listeners and we need to convince them." It's a general stance on how society ought to operate, and the use of "ought" is in the "how ought one live?" question raised by ethics.

We get to decide that as society. This isn't a new concept. Society would not have advanced to a point that we were capable of having this conversation at all if "we" had not already agreed on basic principles, such as "you should not steal", and "you should not murder", and "be generally honest in your dealings with others if you want to keep your reputation". These are all inherent rules of society which you implicitly follow in order to be part of it.

Holding public figures who have a louder voice to a standard of behavior which does not actively undermine society by giving credence to disinformation isn't some horrible leap or infringement upon your freedom. It's avoiding the Gracchi.

> You invoked Godwin's law twice.

Mentioning Nazis isn't Godwin's Law. Feel free to substitute some other bogeyman who you feel giving an unfiltered platform to would deteriorate society.

> What sort of argument are you going to win by invoking Nazis and worst case scenarios? Surely the slipper slope fallacy applies here?

No, it doesn't. Honestly, I'm getting the sense that you've never engaged in any kind of philosophical discourse before, which this is sort of veering into, and throwing out the names of fallacies doesn't mean they apply.

The point is, as I said in my last post, a reductio ad absurdum. It is constructing a contrapositive. It is saying "if we follow your reasoning to its logical conclusion, this is where it leads; verify whether that's true or false, less black and white."

And it was false/shades of grey. Clearly there is some level at which even ardent JRE listeners believe giving people a platform is harmful. So the question is "what are the guidelines for when something is too much?"

My position is, as repeatedly restated, that those with a greater platform have a duty to not do harm to society by allowing crackpots to talk without being challenged, whether that's denying climate change, believing lizard people run the government, believing we are secretly in contact with aliens, taking veterinary antiparasitics on the advice of one person rather than the guidance of literally every medical organization on Earth, etc.

It has no been made clear anywhere what the position of Joe Rogan defenders is other than "he's just a comedian; you shouldn't take him seriously; people can think for themselves; he doesn't have any obligation to question them". But again, it's apparent that having Nazis or murderers on with an unfiltered platform would cross some line. So where is that line? Where are Joe Rogan defenders drawing the line of what is "too much" to air? What is the basis for drawing it there and not somewhere else?

I deeply appreciate Colab. I bought a nice home GPU rig a few years ago, but seldom use it. When I am lightly using Colab I use it for free and when I have more time for personal research the $10/month plan works really well. I can see occasionally paying for the $50/month plan as the need arises in the future.

I am working on an AI book in Python. (I usually write about Lisp languages.) About half the examples will be Colab notebooks and half will be Python examples to be run on laptops.

In any case, I like the soon to be implemented changes, sounds like a good idea to get credits and see a readout of usage and what you have left.
Ah, and here is the crux of it. For you, to judge means you must express it. You have to let people know about it! It's not real unless you shout it from the rooftops, is it?

And therefore, if someone doesn't judge -> scold right then and there, why, there's no judgment at all.

I submit that this is not true.

One issue is the higher upfront cost and this is where high-tax Europe could make a smart move: reduce VAT on products that get certified to last longer (modularity, longer warranty, fair pricing on spare parts, refurbished program to re-sell devices).

This might help incentivize consumers and producers. As an added benefit, they could upgrade components along the way, e.g. smart home integration with new standards for replacement parts.
So go on a cruise where that's the prearranged theme.

When I hear what you're saying it's roughly equivalent to "I wish I could go out to bars and talk to people who don't have TV" about 2 decades ago.

I was trying to say that there was a way forward for the Cold War to end without the dissolution of the USSR — not that it'd be great for the occupied countries (or people of USSR in general) for USSR to continue existing.

That way we could have ended up with the new countries not having old apparatchiks as little tsars. Maybe we'd have an independent Yakutia, Siberia, Tatarstan too

While that may be the true in the cases of very small countries, on the other hand, Europe generally has even stricter regulations than the US and it also has better payment systems, so I'm not sure that the problem with the US taking so long to achieve this is necessarily due to having more regulations than other countries.

The US also has recently seems to have a hesitance toward introducing new regulations that actually seems to have made it harder to change things like these in cases where the private sector isn't able to take the initiative on its own.

The United States didn't do enough to help Russia transition to democracy in the 1990s.

If anyone is interested why the US get involved in other countries affairs, just look to comments like this.

I'm not sure why the US has any responsibility for helping Russia transition to a democracy. And I'm not sure why, when the US does provide assistance, when the country fails to become democratic, it's because "the US didn't do enough".

It's pretty clear it's a no win situation. The US gets blamed for "doing nothing, or not enough" and then when it does something it gets blamed for "interfering with another nations affairs".

I'm starting to see why the founding fathers were such isolationists and the US as a whole was isolationist until WW1. There is nothing good that can come out of getting involved.

So they are 'owned' by the government in any way that counts.

The official legal Fed shareholders are more comparable to bondholders in other companies. Even the dividend on those shares is fixed, much more like a bond.

When the Fed was first established, there were some rather peculiar political circumstances around, and those circumstances demanded a peculiar compromise in the way the Fed is structured.

More than a century later, political circumstances have changed a lot, but the strange structure of the Fed stuck around as an artifact that was never annoying enough for anyone to bother cleaning up.

It's the legal equivalent of old crufty code that nevertheless does its job and doesn't get in the way, so why touch it?

Of course not, but there is a lot of things what can tell you there could be valuables there. Ruined flat in a commie block is one thing, but a freshly renovated flat in that commie block is another thing.

Subtly. Most people aren’t going to notice.
Right. (I feel like I should add this disclaimer because I don’t think you’re hostile to the problem as stated and also because I don’t want to be misconstrued as shilling “crypto”; below is expansion of the thought in case it’s not immediately obvious to other readers, and not advocating for any solution other than recognizing the current one is effectively reinforcing poverty.)

Roughly equal to common overdraft fees, which similarly burden those most in need of fast transactions. And often these burdens compound not just on themselves but on top of each other too, eg if I help a family member cover an expense plus overdraft we have to pay double the overdraft to pay the overdraft; when I was tight on money between jobs but had available credit I’d have to pay another increment of the same, plus interest. All told, it could cost around 150USD pay a 5USD bill. Which only affects people who are unable to pay such a small bill. Now that I’m not between jobs and the burden of fees is less of a concern, but I don’t have to worry about the fees at all because they’re processed out of my bank account. But the transfer still has a fee for the recipient if they need it sooner than “in 3 business days” which can often be effectively a week. That’s long enough to incur much greater costs, ranging from further monetary penalties to eviction depending on what payment is due.

We’d all be better off, as a family, opening a joint bank account but I’d be surprised if that wouldn’t flag a fraud alert if not actually violating some law I’m unaware of.

Yes, they swooped in, as I said
I'm saying that a catastrophic decomposition through a coup that left most of the Soviet apparatchiks in power (Lukashenko, Yeltsin/Putin, etc) is barely better than nothing at all.

The problems it caused to people in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and many other former Soviet republics aren't minor by any account — and they are a direct reason for why Putin managed to hold power for so long.

The way in which the USSR dissolved itself is why we have a war in Ukraine now.

Register renaming is a microarchitecture feature; your OS can be completely oblivious to them because it has no way of using (or even knowing in many cases) them. Register windows, OTOH, require the OS to be aware of the “spill stack”. The difference is also in their purpose: register renaming is for OOO superscalar execution pipes to allow multiple operations at once; register windows are an attempt to avoid pushing “clobbered” registers to the stack when calling functions.

Nothing precludes an architecture from having both: register windows to avoid register clobbering and register renaming to allow dozens/hundreds of micro-ops “in flight” at the same time.

You've cherry picked a project at 53 degrees north and come up with a value that is barely area constrained once you include wind in the mix. There are numerous countries south of 40 degrees where existing projects produce over double the power per area. Example: Nunez de Balboa which is mid latitude spain has an average capacity factor of 20% at a latitude where winter capacity is usually around 60% of summer -- easily hitting the constraints of >10% and within transmission distance where geopolitical, cost, and efficiency factors are manageable. Southern spain, italy and greece have some areas that are even better.

Moreover, the existence of a plant at 53 degrees with under half the capacity factor achievablein europe is strong evidence for the thesis that solar is both sufficiently cheap and small, otherwise it would have been built near munich, not hamburg.

Moreover you need to compare like for like. When the proposal is to spend tens or hundreds of euros per net watt on multi junction panels that can handle shock loads of 1000s of Gs using launch capabilities that don't exist, then compare against something other than the cheapest available previous generation modules.

A 29% efficient hybrid silicon perovskite panel would be an example. This would produce double to triple the net wattage again as they perform much better in partial cloud or with sunlight further from normal and with realistic projections for cost would be around €1 to €2 per net watt installed as a dedicated facility including land.

In total you're around a factor of 5-15 over what is necessary.

A reasonable proposal then puts your "20%" figure at something more like just putting panels on top of the built up and paved areas starting south of Nuremberg and only going north when you run out of space. So to conclude

Whenever I think of AI and its implications, I find it useful to think of our current version of the AI: The Market. Its profit-maximizing function is the canonical paperclip maximizer.
