That's a problem with this article, and too many like it.

OK, we're going to run out of various natural resources over the next 100-200 years, let alone the next 1000-2000. We will have a mostly sustainable society, like it or not. But it need not be a low-tech one.

Energy probably won't be a problem. We have so many low-cost renewable sources now that the fossil fuel industry has trouble getting capital. The energy situation may look bad for another 10-20 years, but not for much longer than that.

What looks like a problem? The US Geological Survey has studies for all the major useful minerals.[1][2]

Some minerals are recycled easily because they're used in their elemental form. Copper and aluminum are good examples. Others get used up by being combined with other minerals in a way that's hard to undo. Manganese and vanadium are good examples, because they go into steelmaking. It's hard to un-make steel, although you can recycle it as steel. Something to expect is metal scrap sorting that does a quick spectrographic analysis on each item and routes it to the appropriate bin for re-melting. There's probably a startup opportunity there.

Expect lithium battery recycling to be a major industry. Lithium batteries are a far higher grade source of lithium than ores or brines.

Biologic systems are more recyclable. Biology is mostly C, H, O, and N, assembled in different ways. This doesn't necessarily mean "natural". We can expect to see a bigger role for semi-biological processes such as fermentation, synthetic enzymes, and such. The Impossible Burger uses a synthetic enzyme to produce the taste of blood people want in a burger.

This sort of thing is probably enough to get through the next 100-200 years. The next 1000-2000 years will be tougher. But more technology will be available.

> Do you work at a company that handles netflow data? Do you work at an ISP distributing that data? Or do you know anything else about the trade or use of netflow data? We'd love to hear from you. Using a non-work phone or computer, you can contact Joseph Cox securely on Signal on +44 20 8133 5190, Wickr on josephcox, or email joseph.cox@vice.com.

Say you do. A new article is published, containing information you leaked. Your company makes a list of lets be extremely generous and say 10,000 employees with access to the leaked data. Then they look at the reporter's social graph, and make a list of everyone 1-2x removed. Then a list of websites where all of these people's contact information or articles have appeared. Then a list of their employees who have seen these articles/contacts on their non-anonymous browsing, sorted by recency and proximity to the author.

How many names does that leave?

Now they look at VPN purchases or downloads of Signal or Tor. Or if you were stupid enough to buy an "anonymous" phone/laptop with a credit card, they can now compare its browsing fingerprint to web searches for Tor/Signal/Vice/etc. originating from your area. Or they buy phone or license-plate reader location data and see if their employees visited any computer stores, but left without making a credit-card purchase.

How many names are left now?

Haha thanks

Well a lack of a creator means we invent our own purpose I suppose, and garner whatever ethereal meaning from that we can.

That just feels hollow to me. The idea that we are just biological machines serving the unfathomable aims of some sky daddy is unsettling but suits me better than our purpose being a bunch of lame platitudes about being kind or whatever.
Sorry, I don't have anything available.

One item I remember was that I said "Dr Kemeny" in relation to Dartmouth College (he was a famous mathematician, invented the BASIC programming language and was president of the college). It replaced those instances with "Jack Kennedy".

In another instance, I said that "Evidently, you have a reading comprehension problem.". It replaced it with "Evidently, I have a ...", completely reversing the meaning.

There was zero problems with the microphones or audio, and it was not rushed or mumbled talk. There were 80+ other examples over a few hours of talking, and some from other speakers. And those were just the obvious ones I could catch.

Another massive problem with this technology is that a human stenographer can notice when s/he missed something and didn't hear and ask the speaker to repeat or clarify what was said, and will often during a pause request clarification on spelling of names, addresses, etc. In contrast, this "AI" technology just barges ahead ASSuming that it knows what it is doing and inserts literally whatever sounds good in the transcript, completely silent that it doesn't have a clue.

Having seen this up close, I'm of the strong opinion that anyone foisting this software on the market without huge warnings that this is not usable for any critical functions is, basically a fraud. They know or certainly should know that these failures not only exist but are common and systemic, yet they barge along like it is OK. It is not.
It doesn't matter the price when the loan was originated, because as the affidavit says, Celsius had provided additional capital. When you have an overcollateralized loan, as soon as it goes below the required threshold a capital call goes out, and you liquidate if that's not met. You don't wait until it's at bankruptcy to issue a call.

https://www.ft.com/content/5eff6c38-9410-45af-94f7-2488b3a87... this also confirms some of it:

>“If bitcoin drops, they give us a margin call [and then] we have to give them more bitcoin,” Mashinsky told the FT in October. He said the loans were typically 30 per cent overcollateralised.
The price of bitcoin has since dropped by about half to $30,000. The person familiar with the matter said Celsius had indeed posted more collateral as a result of the falling price.

Sure, maybe everyone's lying, including in sworn declarations. Alex has obviously lied a lot leading up to the Celsius bankruptcy, so I'm not going to say that anything he says must be true. But I don't see any particular reason to doubt the claims here that tether's loan was overcollateralized, called, and liquidated with no loss (and in fact they returned excess collateral to Celsius, as per the court document above "preserve the remaining collateral in excess of the value of the loan"). I do think it's unlikely he'd swear to that specific claim under oath if it wasn't true, as he'd have nothing to gain from it?

At work we run some (non-GPU) instances in every AWS region, and there's pretty big variability over time and region for on-demand launch time. I'd expect it might be even higher for GPU instances. I suspect that a more rigorous investigation might find there isn't quite as big a difference overall as this article suggests.

Uhm, no. I’m a backer of the Original KS and IndieGogo campaign, you know what the campaign says?

> Real quick, Star Citizen is:

> A rich universe focused on epic space adventure, trading and dogfighting in first person.

Literally the second bullet point is about single player, multiplayer is only mentioned a few more points down.
I backed this game when the original Kickstarter happened. That was ten years ago. A whole decade! The game is a victim of its own successful funding campaign. I wonder who it's even for anymore. Is anyone actually playing the early demos they put out?
IMO, it is very difficult to prove

1: If that watermark is recognizable enough to be a getty watermark or something whose shape vaguely looks like a watermark.
2. Where that watermark is coming from.

From how the model is trained, it is possible that the model considers the watermark itself a style of the picture and mimics it. But it would be mission impossible to trace to a particular work that the inspiration is coming from.

> 1. Buckets is unnecessary concept. Why use it at all, when we have domain and path. That should be enough.

Bucket is a very important concept in S3 buckets. Because a S3 bucket is a container filled with S3 objects. A S3 object can have a fine-grained lifecycle policy defined and attached to them or can have one, all or a combination of the following:

1. S3 objects can be versioned. S3 object versioning is very useful is many scenarios, and the S3 bucket can automatically purge expired object versions for the user after a desired period of time with zero effort – it is defined in the object lifecycle policy.
2. S3 buckets are event-driven. A S3 bucket can be configured to emit an event when something happens to a S3 object in the bucket. There is no need to poll a S3 bucket for changes, for it can notify interested consumers via a new event. S3 buckets offer a rich set of events to choose from that cater for multiple use cases. S3 bucket events are a boon that also greatly simplifies the solution architecture, design and implementation.
3. S3 objects can be locked in governance or in compliance modes for a certain amount of time. Both are useful to prevent the accidental data loss or preclude nefarious attempts to corrupt/delete the important data. The compliance object lock is very useful to satisfy statutory compliance requirements when sharing the data with regulatory and government bodies. Object lock is applied at the S3 object version level and can also be lifted automatically via a defined lifecycle policy wth zero coding effort required.
4. S3 bucket can be set up to automatically replicate the data across multiple S3 buckets, either across different accounts or across regions. S3 buckets can be replicated in full or in part with zero extra coding required – replication rules are defined in the replication configuration.
5. S3 buckets also allow one to choose a storage class which is equivalent to the automatic data archival.

> 2. Authentication is too convoluted. Signings, etc. Simple `Authorization` header should be enough.

S3 buckets are often useful to share the data with external business partners, therefore the identity of the party accessing accessing the bucket is to be asserted first. Multiple business partners can be granted access to the same bucket either in its entirety, or the S3 bucket can be partitioned and the partner can only be granted access to that partition. Therefore proper authentication is important.

> Basically I want to be able to use object storage with simple `fetch` and few lines of code. Without all that SDK nonsense.

Then you are probably do not need a S3 bucket and can stand up your own HTTP server with a block storage attached to it or explore alternative solutions.

S3 is a complete, feature rich software product that may or may not be suitable for one's needs. In most cases, though, it is very simple and easy to use and having to use the SDK is a non-existing problem.

Similar things were predicted in the 70s but new sources of energy and improvements in productivity invalidated those predictions. Obviously at some point limits will kick in (unless we can expand to other planets) but what to do about that is more of a political question than a scientific one. I personally think it is more appealing to attempt expanding the limits, as we've done in the past, than to pre-emptively adopt austerity measures to live within estimated limits.
Nice post, but that's way too much work to be worth it. You really want your camera and mic setup to just work rather than having to tell someone to wait 10 minutes to call because you need to reload your kernel module.

No they don't compare at all. ChromeOS is highly sandboxed and limited in a way desktop Linux can hardly do with normal apps.
Cloud reliability is not the same as a reliability of already spawned VM.

Here it's the possibility to launch new VMs to satisfy dynamic projects' needs. Cloud provider should allow you to scale-up in a predictable way. When it doesn't - it can be called unreliable.

Well, you're only required to mark to market if there's some regulation applicable to you saying you need to mark to market. Otherwise you're being sloppy and foolish, but the only way they can really go after you is to show that you knew it was outright misleading.

> If you use a GPL'd library in your software, then it's uncontroversial to say that you have to follow the terms of the GPL. You can't say "well actually, the compiler is just reading your source code and learning what sort of binary it should produce, just like a human learns by studying source code, so I actually don't have to follow your licensing terms". No one would buy that. You clearly used that library, so you have to obey whatever terms come along with it.

What if I read the code, understand its concepts, and re-implements another library that provide similar functionality without directly linking to the original repository, that is not an infringement, and actually how open source community has always been operating, like MariaDB to MySQL, or any projects that markets themselves as 'open source alternative' of some commercial software.

I would argue, the diffusion models are really good, it is possible that they capture the essentials of drawing that they learn no different than a human. Put in another way, it masters the imaging process at fundamental level
As far as I know, all the ETFs were bond funds, but maybe someone said they were propping up the stock market because ETFs are traded on stock exchanges, and then someone else interpreted that to mean they are buying stocks...

Yes. It just like calling the release of compiled closed binary blobs as 'open source' even when the source of reproducing the compiled output is unavailable.

> If I asked a programmer from OpenAI to modify the model to better support Japanese speakers from Hokkaido, their "preferred form" of the model's source code would include the 680,000 hours of audio used to train the model.

Precisely. These 'users' lifting the model can't do it themselves. You will still be contacting OpenAI for support or to add support for another language and they will be the ones able to modify the model.

> Just don't call it open source.

That is true, it is still closed source and already we are seeing the hype squad already apologising to OpenAI as they 'open sourced' a closed model that you can't modify yourself.

OpenAI is still business as usual and nothing has changed.
That's an astonishingly small minded and fractally incorrect take.

First 400W is peak not average.

Second Wh isn't W. 400W is 400/2000ths of 2000W

Third 500mW can provide a reasonable amount of compute for most tasks as evidenced by my 2 yo phone being a perfectly usable desktop when plugged into a monitor. The 10W to run peripherals vastly exceeds the compute needs and is mostly in the form of light being absorbed by an lcd. Before that I had a 6yo laptop that used around 3-10W including screen. Phone hardware is perfectly capable of gaming, local document editing, compiling, and even running small scientific workloads.

Fourth you're completely ignoring embodied energy, transport and climate control which are the things that actually matter.

Fifth. You can do things that aren't sit at a computer.

Sixth. A high power desktop isn't that common even amongst people who play new AAA games a lot.

Seventh. The attitude of 'we can't possibly deviate even miniscully from having everyone on earth follow my exact lifestyle (even the 90% of people who have no access to it) right down to one particularly wasteful aspect of it that has only been around for fifteen years in its current most wasteful form' is unfathomably small minded and entitled.

>What if I read the code, understand its concepts, and re-implements another library that provide similar functionality without directly linking to the original repository, that is not an infringement

I agree, that's fine.

The analogous situation with image generators would be if the companies that trained the models had a human artist look at every image in their dataset, paint a unique but similar image, and then feed all of those images into the model, so that no copyrighted images were used in training without permission. But that's obviously not what they did. They just fed in the images unaltered, without getting permission.
It sounds good. But what's the line between success and failure?
If you have a contract with your employer, "at will" employment does not give you the right to violate it. Many employees (for example, those who are part of collective bargaining agreements) might not fully realize that they have a contractual obligation to their employer not to quit without notice. (Executives, who are more likely to have individually negotiated agreements, are of course far more likely to be aware of the implications.)
