> Is there any actual evidence that this marginally lower latency makes any real life difference?

Yes, compare the specs of DDR4 and DDR5 to LPDDR4X and LPDDR5X. The latter are significantly higher performance.

This is also the reason that Dell recently introduced CAMM memory modules -- it is an attempt to address the packaging bottleneck that is limiting the speed of DIMMs currently.

The amount of time that it takes a signal to go down a wire has been relevant for DRAM for a while now. If you look at the traces on the board of any relatively modern computer, you'll see some that take circuitous routes, for the purpose of having the signals arrive at the CPU at the same time. You can see this even on relatively low performance devices like a Raspberry Pi. https://www.cnx-software.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Rasp...

They're being ironic.
I agree that regulation will be useless because the politicians and most people wouldn't even be capable of detecting bad content as bad. I also agree with your second point: Humans will prefer robots. It turns out human beings are actually quite terrible to deal with. Constant scheming, laziness, lying, low intelligence.. the list goes on and on. The second you don't have to deal with a human being, you'll be glad. In any shop, factory or anywhere.
But I don't agree that it's game over. This needs to be a turning point for humanity: Finally start using your time to actually do something other than exist to exist. Actually try to conquer the stars, actually do something. Don't just sit on a single rock in space and pretend that's good enough.
Watching congress grill Powell, it doesn't look like the government is keen on doing anything except blame the fed.

Early on I was hoping that Biden, seeing the writing on the wall that he can't do a second term, would step up and be the fall guy for the "terrible policy" of cutting spending and raising taxes. Looks like that isn't going to happen though.
There is no world in which the US "lost or expended 80% of its arsenal" that it would matter at all whether we could produce more. I can't even think of a good analogy. "Should I store a box of extra smoke detectors in my attic in case I have a house fire and my current ones are destroyed?"

I think console vs PC is definitely one part of the problem. My buddy on console (xbox) definitely experiences much fewer game breaking bugs and crashes than the rest of us in the squad who are on PC.
Well if the US government ran a LFTR / MSR they'd have both power for the facility and something to process a lot of the isotopes and a means for extraction.

The core contention of the article is that plutonium disposal is an issue. Not in an MSR! (at least from my reading). I can see how solid fuel rods are precisely designed in old crappy fuel rod designs, since you need to design the rods to avoid them melting down.

MSRs are meltdown proof, owing to the fluid nature of the fuel. If the fuel is overheating/overfissioning, then a "plug" that is artificially cooled will melt, and the fluid pours into a shallow pool. Since the shallow pool distributes the fissile material in a way that stops the chain reaction (since effectively a volume is reduced to a sheet, so all the neutrons in the vast majority of directions don't run into another fissionable/fissile nucleus, the reaction stops)

Aside from the plutonium, IIRC molten salt reactors can "burn" a lot of "waste" isotopes since if it isn't fissile, let it hang around in the salt and a couple absorbed neutrons will make it something that can.

The fission products are in a liquid, so the fluid can be chemically processed more easily to extract products. Yeah, there's a LOT of handwaving there, but fundamentally if you have a breeder reactor you can "process" waste into a usable form.

The best thing about MSRs is that they scale to smaller sizes: the ORNL research reactor was closet-sized. A general MSR for fission product processing would have a lot more stuff for processing the salt for waste, yeah.

As for replacement parts and the associated dangers for weapons construction, that's not really a nuclear issue once the nuclear material is separated.

The inherent chemical toxicity of all this is a problem, but fundamentally what you are doing is containing the salts and processing them. Toxic stuff will eventually get transmuted to something else, so you just need to keep the core thorium -> uranium cycle going and "work on" all the rest of it to get it to a usable or more stable element.

Yeah it's expensive, but TFA mentions billions for disposal/processing. Well, we could have had a usable MSR design and tons of knowhow to go with a good disposal method.
> Squeezing by cars in start/stop traffic is one of the more debatable ones.

Where I live, this is called "filtering", and it's encouraged by both cycling organisations and motoring organisations. If the ICE traffic has stopped, then the worst that can happen is that you misadjust some motorist's wing mirror, and they have to wind their window down to fix it.

> Driving without lights at night, wearing dark clothes, is the one where I see absolutely no upside for their behavior.

Agreed! If you dress up as a piece of tarmac and proceed down a tarmac road made for cars, without lights, you should expect cars to treat you like a piece of road, because that's what you look like.

Chomsky condemned the US ground invasion and carpet bombing of Kampuchea, which destabilized the country and I'm guessing the mass death of civilians from does not fit into your genocide definition.

In 1975 the coalition led, nominally or not, by Sihanouk gained control of Kampuchea (again, in the case of Sihanouk). The US and west said a genocide was happening between 1975 and 1979, but immediately somewhat covertly, and then openly, began arming the coalition with Pol Pot and what the west called the Khmer Rouge.
Is there any way to use the Flipper with these trains?
The motors for the trains are better than that because they're designed for continuous use (somewhat) but yeah, at the end of the day Lego is a toy.
It's not a notional principal for a fx swap, it's an actual principal that you swap. If your counterpart defaults, you're still liable for what you owe (usually multiple millions) but you won't receive the other side.
> Now they have two photos. Next time I fly, they will have three. Soon they have lots more. Why would I want this?

Have you not used Google photos? How many photos do you think they need to make a positive match? If you have a driver’s license and a passport, they already have two photos of you.

How are you making the TSA’s job harder? As soon as you check in at the airport, they already no who you are, what time you checked in, your final destination, how many bags you checked in etc. they can open your checked luggage, go through it erc.

They have an even better idea of what you are carrying on board the plane when you don’t have TSA Precheck because you have to take everything electronic out of your bag and they even know if you have funny looking feet since you had to take your shoes off.

The only person’s life you are making harder is your own.
Are you going to be hiring in the US?
Paying fine doesn't seem enough.

> I'm good at not falling off my bike. The biggest thing that concerns me is drivers...

I think this is a good way to frame it for those who ~~are anxious about riding~~ don't regularly ride bikes. It's really easy to ride safely on your own once you learn the intricacies of riding on two wheels. Bikes are hard to tip over if you know what you're doing. It's the introduction of large machines with the means of generating immense amounts of kinetic energy with very little human input that things start getting complicated. In fact this applies for the introduction of electric bikes and scooters, too. So many times I have seen new riders on shiny new e-bikes accidentally shock themselves four meters forward because they aren't used to the throttle. Imagine if they're waiting behind a cyclist, or at a stoplight, and they push either themselves or a cyclist in front of them into the flow of traffic.

I would be interested to see hard data but I suspect "one-person" bike injuries are much less prevalent and dangerous on average than those involving at least one cyclist and at least one motor vehicle (including e-bikes).
High bandwidth, low latency unified memory is a central component of the M series architecture and a key reason those chips perform so well at their power profile.

I'm not sure what "evidence" I could provide that would convince you since we don't have high latency Apple chips to benchmark against. However, there's a reason VRAM is soldered onto GPUs.

The food safety in general from my Chinese in-laws gives me panic attacks. Mostly related to meat. But they also don't do dumb things like we do such as eating raw cilantro from Mexico.
The US was planning to burn nuclear weapons plutonium in the Palo Verde plant in Arizona which are a European design designed to use MOX fuel from the very beginning.

The hang up is that they were unable to build a MOX fabrication facility in the US even with the help of the French, who have run a successful MOX plant.

I haven't seen a detailed explanation of what exactly went wrong, but it seems challenging to build a MOX facility to operate under US worker safety regulation. The trouble is that quality MOX fuel is made with a high energy ball mill that alloys uranium and plutonium oxides by making plutonium particles that are potentially deadly if you inhale them.
I understand the point being made and certainly there are very many safety devices mandated for cars, but the fact remains, that the vast majority of cars do not have airbags for rear seat passengers for example, and given the volume of auto accidents, it would be hard to imagine that mandating helmet usage would not significantly reduce injuries and fatalities.

Of course all of this is simply to say, that there is a line, where the marginal safety gain is outweighed by the cost, both economic and otherwise. Different people and organizations are going to have differing opinions on where this line should be, but arguing purely on the side of harm reduction misses a great deal. This is aside from personal responsibility, liberty, etc.
There is a simple solution to the AI spam issue (and spam in general) - a social trust graph at the heart of content aggregation and discovery. Associate all content with real humans and allow people to control their level of trust in other humans, then derive a trust score for content based on a weighted combination of your trust of the creator and the trust your friends put in the creator. When bad content shows up as trusted for a user and they "corrects" the system, that correction backpropagates trust penalties through the social graph. By allowing people to see when they lose trust, it creates a feedback loop that disincentivizes sharing/trusting garbage to preserve social trust.
Very fun to see this here ! I've been to Bordier's shop in St Malo, they do make lovely butter. If you know a bit about France and Brittany, you'll know that "les bretons" are very much fond of their butter. Check out how they make the famous kouign amann and if you get a chance, do have a taste if the quantities of sugar and butter don't put you off ;-)

Where are these known sources on the Internet that can be trusted to faithfully relay primary works and/or provide trustworthy analysis?

I can think of one of the former: Project Gutenberg, which has done a great job of making electronic versions of primary sources from throughout history available. But they don't help at all with deciding which primary sources to read.

I can't think of any of the latter. Every single source I'm aware of that claims to "provide trustworthy analysis" has failed to keep that promise.

But at least, at the moment, I can be reasonably sure that something on the Internet that purports to have been written by a human, actually was written by a human. So I can at least make use of my knowledge of humans to judge what is written. What happens when AIs can generate wrong content that I can't distinguish any more from wrong content written by a human? And then the AIs start claiming to be humans (after all, on the Internet, no one knows you're an AI)?
If there is a "license agreement" which terms are under debate, there is a legal contract that was entered.

this definitely sounds plausible, is there somewhere i can read about this ?
AFAIK they can't legally claim your donation as a tax write-off, at least in Canada.
I do not think it could. What I see GPT doing here is generating a lot of plausible boilerplate. We already have this via things like code snippets. I find them to be useless, like autocorrect on my phone. It gets in the way of my reasoning and does not really enhance it in any way. Sometimes I make mistakes typing but I’d rather them be my honest mistakes than the computer censoring/rewriting my thoughts.

Good engineering requires good reasoning skills and GPT has exactly zero reasoning. It cannot do the thing that humans do and it cannot do what a calculator can do. I think it is neat and fun, but that is all, a novelty.

I’ve used auto-routers for PCB layout and they will do a 90% job that takes just as much work to redo to get the last 10% as it would to have done it right by hand from the start. There may be a future for operator-in-the-loop type guided AI generative models but I don’t see a lot of effort devoted to making real systems like that. Watson seemed to have this potential and failed even after a brilliant display of ingenuity on Jeopardy. I see these models headed the same way.

I think there is no chance for Chess.com to lose.

Hans will need to prove they were malicious which I don't think he will be able to. However, I suspect he will consider losing a lawsuit because of that fact he failed to prove maliciousness as opposed to Chess.com proving he cheated (in the game vs Magnus) a win.
I think even the staunchest pirates believe in attribution, something that I suspect is core to this issue. If, upon performing the trick, the entertainer talked about teller and his role in developing it, I suspect very few people would have a problem with it.

Well, I don't know what kind of 8 year olds you know but it definitely works better than any 8 year old I know at programming. In any way, I still think it's fairly impressive compared to what existed before.
That will depend on what your project requires. There are a large number of Pi users that could get by with a simple x86 desktop-class PC or thin client [1] which, as the article points out, can have pretty similar wattage and compute power compared to say running 3-4 Pis.

It gets a little tricky when you start talking about GPIO requirements. There are things like the ASUS tinkerboard [2] but it's much more expensive than a Pi.

> Still not lying.

In 2017 at the event he said they already had the technology to do truck automated follower convoys today (2017), it was only stopped by regulators. Seems like a complete lie given what we know of how their technology played out and even the single track tesla in tunnels in vegas still use drivers.

On Tesla's own website since around 2016 they said the cars could operate on their own but they only have a driver there for legal reasons (opening scrawl to the video at tesla.com/autopilot). Complete lie, the Nvidia stack and the software Tesla had for it couldn't do it, nor could several later stacks over the years. Regulators weren't what was stopping them unless they are saying they at Tesla are murderous psychopaths and would kill if it weren't illegal.
This is a nice project! I did something similar a few years back to get notifications when the clothes dryer finished running in the basement of a multistory building: https://github.com/mccollam/UDLDryerSensor
Amazon egress changes depends on the region of the s3 data location.

Bandwith cost highly depends on the scale and target network. Cloudflare has a good blogpost on relative bandwith cost: https://blog.cloudflare.com/bandwidth-costs-around-the-world...

To put numbers to the relativity, for a somewhat smaller datacenter in Central Europe with a 100Gbit/s connection, the running Cost of transit is somewhere around 0.00004€ per GB, on a theoretically fully sustained connection(not realistic, also with no redundancy or hardware).
Peering is basically free(after initial buildout) with around 3k€ per 100Gbit/s (https://www.ams-ix.net/ams/pricing). This all excludes cost of investment for initial buildout and hardware.
On a scale on amazons level this becomes even cheaper, since operating your own network is cheaper than buying transit.

Hetzner charges 1,19€ per TB, amazon 90$(on the first 10 TB). So amazon probably doesnt really care about the price differences per region and went with a mixed calculation, since their margins are so absurdly huge.

also, major parts of the cost are in hardware and staffing/development, of which amazon has way more, due to the demands of SDN.
The key thing is GPT3's apparent certainty when it says utter rubbish (like how to calculate the fourth side of a triangle). You have to be skilled in the field to catch those perhaps subtle issues - once they start adding a certainty level it'll be more worrying re: losing jobs to AI
AFAIK, it's all about tax deductions. If a company gives to a charity, they can write it off, but they'd rather someone else foot the bill for the giving. So by presenting the option to round up your purchases or whatever, they give you the opportunity to essentially pay part of their taxes for them.

So in general, if I want to give to a charity, I give directly and claim the deduction myself unless the company is matching or something.
Honestly hadn't even considered that factor. But yes, you're right, they do refer to it as the 2012 model, the 2013 model, etc. Each being distinct in the eyes of the manufacturer. So, from Honda, if their entire line is outfitted with the offending system for 10 years, that's 130 models just from Honda.
Chevy and Dodge still sell vans and trucks with basic radios (the latter of which I think is only in Mexico)
Last night I had ChatGPT write a streamlit app for me and I felt it was like talking to an enthusiastic junior dev who takes feedback really well and works incredibly fast. This is an incredibly high leverage technology and we're just figuring out how to use it.
No, but installing an maintaining diesel tanks and pumps ain't cheap either! Especially if you have to deal with any environmental destruction caused by spillage or leaking tanks (happens way, way more than most people think).
The guy who suggested the AI was sentient was clearly wrong, and strange in a bad way. ChatGPT enthusiasts are just having a good time with a text generation AI. How did you even come up with this comparison?
I think the problem is assuming GPTChat is a reliable source at all. You can probably assume your median coworker knows something correct about embedded systems but it's not clear why you would assume or if you should ever assume ChatGPT is correct about anything.
> There are many many thousands of Dutch who bike daily without a helmet, so this is a false dichotomy.

That is not a false dichotomy. The meaning of "safety" here is referencing local standards that have been socially defined. Specifically, this is about the US.

> The biggest thing that concerns me is drivers and their associated cars. In many cases a helmet will do nearly nothing when you get crushed by an overpuffed SUV or truck.

Or getting knocked to the ground, where you will not have the angle or too much momentum to protect your head (even after your wrist/arm snaps).

> There is a real need for society to discuss whether the value of reduced injuries outweighs the cost

This is the value in helmets, which has been validated immediately in every locale where it was enacted, to my own chagrin. The article immediately tries to conflate reduced usage with reduced injuries, as if more usage would reduce injuries. I'm sure there's a small multivector "Safety In Numbers" variable that has a reduced injury rate with an increase in usages...if nothing else, from normalizing bikes in some areas, but it's small enough that the injury numbers still go up from increased usage and no helmets.
Are you saying the federal government billed you for the cost of their investigating you?
I love the spectrum of takes on this.

Some people are pretty much posting “This will be what finally delivers us to fully automated luxury gay space communism, probably within days” while others are saying “I am not impressed in the slightest. It doesn’t even know how to love.”
How can you use it anywhere? If you need to know enough about a subject to judge whether an answer it gives is correct why would you need it in the first place?
As far as I understand the case is about what a customer donating to the ADA through the CVS system would reasonably expect to happen, vs. what happened. It doesn't matter what the agreement with the ADA is. What matters is what the customer would expect based on what CVS was presenting to them and what happened.

So, consider 2 scenarios:

1. CVS collects $1mm from its customers for the ADA donations. The customers' expectations would be that the ADA would get $11mm. $10mm for CVS's legally binding payment, and the $1mm they donated through CVS. So the customers are short $1mm, and CVS is short $10mm.

2. This suit is claiming that the ADA still receives $10mm. The customer is short $1mm, but CVS is only short $9mm.

Irrespective of what CVS's agreement with the ADA is it sounds like a reasonable person can legitimately claim that #2 led to a donation to CVS, and not the ADA, and so CVS's representation was fraudulent.

Of course, money is fungible, so this is likely hard to prove. But the case seems like a fairly reasonable one on the surface.
Why, given that I'm comparing to the US private sector?
I'd assume just a sponsorship contract where CVS agreed to pay and in exchange got to feature the ADA partnership in advertisements and such.
Hi Dan, the article appears to originally be from (2013), in case you want to update the title.
