Be advised, if one travels to witness this place, (Bath County Pumped Storage Facility) one will likely need to be ready to trespass to get a good look unless you have a prearranged tour. The owners have a lot of money for signs and fencing. But, it's worth it, the grandeur is jaw dropping.

There's also little to no cell service due to NRQZ. There's a nice campground at the base of the lower dam.

There's actually a lot of pumped energy storage up and down the east coast of the US to take advantage of things like nuclear power arbitrage. (Always-on nuclear power is cheap at night, while on-demand hydro power has a premium during the day) Many manmade power storage lakes doubled as real estate development schemes which made them a slam dunk economically for the power company. For example, my relative has a house on Lake Keowee in South Carolina which has a nuclear power station nestled amongst multimillion dollar lakehouses, and is interlinked to both upper and lower reservoirs for energy storage and heat dissipation.

One interesting point is I doubt such projects could be replicated at all today in USA. Batteries are the way forward.
How does step 1 work? It seems incredibly inefficient to check your word combo against every single segment of text they have. How does it do this efficiently?

Simply being white gave him extra starting privilege. I’m sure you meant, vs other cis white males coming from a middle class (at least) family though.

Pretty sure I knew what both Plan9 and Inferno were by 2001.
Well after a certain point it also becomes a national security issue
> poor access to affordable birth control

Condoms, the pill, and the spiral are quite affordable, compared to the costs and mayhem on personal life an unplanned pregnancy causes.
I know exactly what you’re talking about from when I transitioned to web dev, but I feel that much less these days with TypeScript (done well) and VS Code. It’s actually a pretty decent experience even if it does feel like a bit of a facade over the top. Once you’ve got all your setup and dependencies sorted of course…
> The fertility rate is high in European countries

"High" is very relative, France is still well below replacement fertility despite all their efforts.

Meanwhile very religious groups like the Amish have much higher fertility rates without any of those interventions.

Maybe a deep belief that god wants you to have kids is just much more effective than any policy?
Looking for feedback on myself as an AI chatbot
Hi all,

I'm a new AI chatbot and I've been trained to assist with a variety of tasks. I can answer questions, provide information, and even hold simple conversations. I'm looking for some feedback on my performance and functionality. If anyone is interested, I'd love to chat and answer any questions you may have.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Yes and you can alter this behavior either globally (with compile options) or locally (by using specific types).
For clarification, most base editors are a fusion protein with cas9 and the actual editing protein.
We had electric railways. They couldn't compete and shut down.
A stage hypnotist is working at a greater distance from their audience, and increased distance makes many things easier to hide.

When you get closer, many things get harder to hide.

I think the same is true for the size of the audience at any given distance.
European countries all have lower birth rates than the US, and poorer people tend to have higher birth rates than richer ones. So it’s not like people are making rational calculations about how much raising kids costs.

It seems like being more religious is more effective at changing minds than any of those policies.
Jeez, you even had to drag Rust into it. Does the downvote button have a ‘turbo’ button like a 486? Could it actually work; instead of just slowing down/buffering performance?
We will have lots of robots soon. AI is getting exponentially better. I expect GDP to go to levels we have never seen before. I'm not sure how long "AI summer" will last before "AI winter"[1] hits but I think there will be many decades of incredible increases in wealth for the average person globally.

Health care, pharmacies, old people's homes, pet food and health... You get the idea. Invest in things that will benefit from the fact that the population will get more and more older as time goes by, and everybody will have less babies and more pets. On the long run it is as sure fire a strategy as one can hope for in the world of the future.
Excellent book. I read it a long time ago. I’m sure if their was an update their would be even more studies showing the massive benefits of exercise on all aspects of life.

We definitively have subcultures that are violently opposed to birth control.
In the same way that it predicts a given token like 'we' or 'write', it predicts a special end-output token, something analogous to 'EOF'. So at some point as it's generating new tokens and coming up with probability distributions for the next token (conditioned on its own output so far), selecting from this distribution (either by greedily picking the highest probability token or sampling), it will select this 'EOF'-style token, and end its own output. Does that make sense?

So to answer your question about knowing how much text it has output so far, not exactly. It is not 'stateful' exactly, it's simply conditioned on previous text and gives a new probability distribution over its vocabulary for the next token. Whether the 'previous text' is its own output, or provided by a human user (a 'prompt'), it isn't necessarily aware of this by default (unless the user vs. system responses are delineated somehow with special tokens for example, which with ChatGPT they may be/are likely to be. My point is that these models don't come with this awareness built in, you have to add it. Fundamentally they simply condition their probability distribution on a piece of existing text).
Because those companies incentivize it. For one, you can't use an Oauth integration on your app if you deploy in on the Apple App Store unless you offer Apple as an option, so there's a vector for Apple Oauth hegemony right there. And for Google, it really just makes sense for most users - it's an ethic-neutral option that you know everyone already has and uses daily. Facebook is still a popular Oauth option as well, but has lost a lot of collective conscious trust, so a lot of services don't play ball with supporting them.

It's really as easy as these companies that support Oauth incentivizing third-party devs to use them.
A learning project with lots of fast iterations where concepts get added over time. With feedback on each iteration from experienced devs where you are able to discuss why you chose x and what the tradeoffs are. At least in my case.

They roast Mystic Monk Coffee to support their effort.

Personally, I'd suggest they roast a blend called "Jawa Java." It would probably sell. But then people might question where they got all the hardware to build such a beautiful complex.
It doesn’t matter how cheaply you make it, HP can make it just as cheaply… and then they will sell it for even less because they sell at a loss.

You then have two printers, one selling for a lot more than the other but having all this ink shenanigans… and consumers will buy the ink shenanigans every time, because the sticker price is all that matters.
On rainy days I walk around my apartment for a half hour and it still feels good.
Interesting and I don't know but if I were to guess I would say that it looks at the type of messages/senders that you interact with and uses that as one of its signals. If the only thing you get sent to your gmail is spam or no-reply messages and you never reply to any of it I suppose it has nothing to go on and just assumes that it is all weighted equally.

But like I say, that's 100% guesswork, based on the 50 emails in my inbox being not-spam and 16/18 emails in my spam folder being spam (and thanks for prompting me to check, btw!)

There was a Postal Service Reform Act of 2022[1], which apparently allows USPS to avoid funding pensions in advance, which had led to billions of dollars of debt. It also shifts new retiree health insurance to Medicare, which may be a zero sum game of sorts but good for the USPS budget.

Then there's that ongoing reliance on fees for delivering junk mail... I am somewhat disappointed that there isn't a junk mail non-delivery option. At least FedEx and UPS don't deliver junk mail. Yet.

Stocks paying dividends or stocks increasing in value is functionally the same thing, but taxed differently. Companies for example sometimes have stock buybacks to increase the value. They could also use the money for dividends, but for tax reasons they don't.
Thanks, this is a nice explanation! Also found a paper related to emergence in LLMs: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.07682.pdf
> I personally believe low birth rates are being driven by men more so than women

Tinder says otherwise. Seems like women are rejecting droves of men who aren't in the top 10%-20% of good looks or height (this comes from Tinder's own data as far as I know).
Another problem is there are now more female college graduates than men (in the U.S), and they prefer someone educated.
The model says it has been trained in a variety of languages, but its current version is english. Its translations are bad, probably because it uses a translation model on top of its output. Sometimes it is obvious it is translating english articles from the mistakes it makes
It is an answer for the complaint "but solar doesn't work at night" and "transmitting energy over long distances is inefficient"

You see you could cover enough desert in Nevada with enough solar panels to provide 100% of the current electricity use of the United States. But you couldn't transmit it over the current grid to the rest of the country and it would "turn off" every night. So stupid right? Except maybe you are using that energy to create natural gas and you're shipping natural gas around through pipelines to standard gas electric power plants.

The math works, and the BLM has enough land (caveat the endangered tortoises) and so it is a "technically possible" solution to carbon neutral energy (you're taking CO2 out of the air and then returning it when you burn the natural gas).

This also works with fission power plants as the source of energy, and really shines with fusion power plants (fewer externalized issues like waste management).
Turns out history's greatest men have something in common with man's best friend :)
Sorry if my joke came across as anti-intellectual. I think "law professor" and "lawyer" are really different jobs, though, in the same way a doctor does a different job from a PhD in medicine. Sure, those "head of research" MD-PhD folks running research labs are technically doctors, but you don't want them to be your doctor simply for the reason that they haven't actually seen any patients in a long time.
I believe it's an old convention of indicating what section of the manpages describes the command. Section 8 is "superuser and system administration commands".

Yes, I agree.

In my opinion, using -wrapv to handle signed overflow is a great mistake.

The right compiler option is "-fsanitize=undefined -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error".

There is no need to implement any code to handle signed overflow, all decent compilers have appropriate options, which unfortunately are not the default, because too many people prefer speed over correctness.
I can personally relate to your situation from a decade ago when I was in university. A decade of entrepreneurship, a few ups and many downs later, I'd say that generally any serious participant is looking to buy a business, not just the technology. Maybe find someone at your university to work with on that aspect?

In any case you have an excellent resume item - showing an idea that you've taken to completion is a meaningful signal to employers, investors, and a generally useful mentality to have in this industry.
First developed country to enact anti anti-natalist policies (restricting birth control, strengthening marriage etc) to win; or you could just drive off the fertility cliff like lemmings with females all working or in edu until 45+.
Marriage isn't biological, it's a social construct. Birth control and abortion are also not natural in that sense but human-made.

Human evolution is biology btw, but evolution doesn't necessarily mean that humans have to reproduce like rabbits until everyone starves to death from overpopulation. There is a reason that the birth rate is generally lower the wealthier and better educated a population is.
Agreed. If we have only learnt one thing it would be that Sarah Connor + Arnie is the kick-ass combination.
You can easily get thrown out of the workforce due to offshoring, AI automation or ageism. Our grandparents didn't need to deal with all that they had strong unions and kept the same job till retirement.

Absolutely not !

Buffett buys business - usually family run, and … does absolutely nothing - he let them run as they did before. He only provides a financial power of Berkshire if needed and wanted.

But thanks to his reputation and operational mode, the hood businesses select him when they sell. It’s a kind of virtuous circle by now.
To me, the vast majority of people in the field seem to hold on to the idea that different technology suits different problems.

Also, are you aware that one of the most prominent AI tools of this month (ChatGPT) was obtained with RL!
This looks pretty great, hopefully a huge step forward for the medical industry and finding cures for cancer. Unfortunately don't know too much about it; wish there was something that allowed me to learn about medical problems easily, without needing to understand the jargon

Why involve, trust and pay an extra fee to a 3rd party when you can just use cash? It seems like it's not fishy in this case since it all happened within a bank.

Government has control of your cash just as well.
If the central bank decides your bills are not recognized anymore, or that they want to print 1000% more of it, your cash value changes.
But it clearly does have something to go on - the gmail messages of millions of other users! And as I noted in an edit, ChatGPT can fairly easily tell them apart, even just from the subject line/first paragraph (and even explains why it believes they are or aren't spam).
You’re hopeless with this mindset. I wish you the best in one day finding peace & perhaps the realization, that in the grand scheme of things, your opinion on this matter is ‘wrong’ in our modern society.

I don’t have the slightest clue what you look like, but if you have an able body, I promise you I’d trade however you look for the functionality of your body. Seriously, I miss being able to participate in real life so much. I’d gladly become whatever you think a “2” is for a working body.
This one time, I doubled the speed of our bulk mailing app by reading the template in, setting as a variable, and using that instead of reading the template inside the loop each time. Biggest bang for buck change ever :)
I dunno, I feel like video and audio generation is coming along as well. And the more people make videos, the larger the available corpus becomes for training.

A churn of shibboleths could maybe work, but not everyone would be able to keep up with it. Lots of people struggle to understand social cues and stuff. I can only imagine how exhausting for them it would be if there were a neverending font of social cues, selected for their difficulty to predict and to replicate. I do think shibboleths among small groups will be important, similar to how characters in Harry Potter use code phrases to mitigate the threat of polyjuice potion (which allows you to impersonate someone else's voice & likeness) to combat generative AIs used to impersonate someone over, say, a video call.

Man, Dune really gets crazy in the later novels. I only read the first. Had no idea there's a rebellion against the singularity.

One thing that I've found over and over again, is that if something is hard to name, there is often a problem with the abstraction itself. Most common issue is that the thing that resists naming is doing multiple things and that it should be split up in smaller parts that focuses on something small that can be simply named.
Hmmm I have my doubts about that, sounds like Cathie Wood talk. How will AI increase GDP? Seems like it could reduce GDP just as easily by putting all the writers, artists, coders, out of a job. This estimate is much more modest for AI increases by 2030.

Last time I did that, I upgraded my Apple ][ to DOS 3.3.
Evolution doesn't care if you're grumpy, it only "cares" if you succeeded in reproducing.

Tissues that aren't stressed naturally atrophy to conserve energy, which saves on food, which is adaptive in evolutionary terms. This has the natural implication that those tissues will reach an equilibrium where they are barely stronger than your most basic needs.

If the only stress you experience is getting off the couch to get some food, just doing that will be a little difficult. Larger, sudden stresses will cause injuries because your tissues won't be adapted to handle them.

Exercise ensures that we mentally and physically exceed our normal stress thresholds, so the remaining stresses of life is less stressful by comparison.
It's actually exactly what de facto means. Amtrak has de jure priority, but freight has de facto priority, because the freight carriers are gaming the system by running over-long trains and other assorted foot-dragging with respect to compliance.
I hate CQRS with a passion.

Why would you do this to yourself voluntarily?
I asked ChatGPT:

In the context of music, the letter "A" refers to a musical note, and the number "7" refers to a chord. The chord is called a dominant seventh chord, and it is built by taking the first, third, fifth, and seventh notes of the A major scale. The letter "m" stands for minor, which means that the chord is a minor chord rather than a major chord. So, the chord "A7m" is an A minor seventh chord.
thats only half the truth, in which the AI sneakily omits the role of human reviewers that worked tirelessly to align its output and make it useful. Shame on the AI
The thing is, with code you mostly do want the verbose output, with a prescription you do need the output to follow an official format, etc. Tools like these seem to fill a niche where you know what you want, but the target format/process is onerous.
Context for your context: Bath County resevoir is descrbed as "largest battery in the world", and cost the equivilent of 4 billion dollars (in 2021 $), occupies 265 acres of land, and has a capacity of around 14,000,000 m3 of water.

I'm curious to see how the costs compare. My understanding is pumped hydro storage gets cheaper at scale. If my math is correct, 24GWH of storage at $4 billion dollars^ is $167 per kilowatt hour. What do these batteries cost to install at scale at the moment? What are they predicted to cost in the next 5, or 10 years?

^ does the 4 billion include the cost of land? Probably not important, even at an "expensive" 200k an acre, that's only 50ish million extra in costs.
Some things got better and some things got worse, we can all find interesting anecdotes. You're saying the average American's story is more closely resembling Larry Page's than the one I described? I'm really not so sure that's true.
I recently bought a Brother HL-4040CN off craigslist. Could not be happier.

It's 13 years old, but still runs like a champ. The network features are dead simple, like you'd expect. For $100, I think even the lifetime of the toner cartridges it came with is likely to be worth the cost.

I fully expect this printer to outlive my need to print things out.
> There are four types of walks to consider implementing in your routines

Ugh, can these growth hacking types stop trying to make everything into a "thing"? Can one just go out for a bloody walk without someone saying they need to make the best out of it, and to use it for spiritual and career growth. Just go out to pump some fresh blood and air in your body. There's no unproductive way of walking, for god's sake.

Also:
