If the goal is a profitable space industrial complex somewhere other than Earth, than humans probably need to be there, but that seems like way way ahead of what we're thinking of.

We're not even close to bootstraping a cluster of autonomous robots on the moon, taking over the basic functions of base operations. Any humans at current stage is basically on sightseeing duty.
While I don’t necessarily agree with the commenter you are replying to - I can relate to how hard it is to separate Russia’s contributions from what is currently happening in Ukraine.

Modern Russia is fascist in all meaningful ways. This—at least emotionally—overshadows the positive contributions the country made in the past.

Right.

The issue I was getting at is that we need to build a shitload more electricity generation.

Whichever way you prefer, it's going to take longer than a couple decades.
I have also built a functional language, Winter (https://github.com/glaretechnologies/winter) that is used in our metaverse (https://substrata.info/).

A functional language has some advantages - because Winter programs can be bounded in space and time, we can efficiently execute untrusted scripts from users safely.
The scope of Winter programs is reasonably narrow - mostly pretty simple scripts setting a transformation as a function of time. But for that it works well.
Well, the existence of Google Docs in the office, of Chromebooks in schools, of AWS controlling a large share of what MS lusts after, etc indicate to me that perhaps they aren't destined to remained the dominant force they once were, similar to IBM.

Now, I know Microsoft is a near-2-trillion-dollar company, but they would not be the first company to have realized the folly of resting on their laurels.

Microsoft's future over the 20 year term doesn't look as rosy as it could. They'll remain a huge company, but perhaps they'll slip back into the hundreds-of-billions-of-dollars segment instead of the trillion-dollar-titan segment if the investments they're making don't pay off.

They'll have huge income for decades because it's costly and time-consuming to move away from existing systems, but for new companies, Microsoft is no longer a given.

Honestly, not sure. But I believe hybrids only represented around 3% of cars in 2013? So unlikely to be a big effect. Especially when you consider how much bigger cars are now, and how much more they weigh.

I sold two cars to Carvana in the last year and in both cases the offers from Carvana (which included them picking up the car from my driveway) were multiple thousands of dollars better than Carmax or dealerships.

Could I have made more selling privately? I don't know, but I can tell you that Carvana paid very handsomely to do all the work involved with buying your car.
The efficiency of electricity production has no influence on the amount of work it takes to convert heating from gas to electric.

Why would you want to use fossil fuels to generate electricity anyway nowadays?

I've spent several months above the polar circle and lived in Germany and Minnesota where it gets much colder than in France. Heating a 2 bedroom mountain cabin in winter in Sweden in -36C works fine with 3x2kW electric heaters. It's basic physics, there isn't any advantage to using gas given the same power ends up being transferred to the inside of the building as heat energy.
The pinnacle was Windows 2000; none of the releases since then really improved it. (And I say that as someone who thinks the Vista hate is overblown).

> This all looks very mind-bending to me (in a good way). Perhaps Verse will one day be as influential for PL design as Haskell has been.

I'm not convinced. Making non-determinism a first-class feature in the language might be good if you simply care about logical specifications that might enable you to prove something correct, but a real-world program implementation has to make heuristic choices for efficiency as to when to evaluate what (and perhaps where, especially in a parallel/distributed setting), and just stating that evaluation is "lenient" isn't really saying anything worthwhile. So this kind of design choice will ultimately be expressed with ugly hacks, as with e.g. Prolog where the 'cut' feature is used to override the default search strategy.

> most of the Earth will be uninhabitable.

I find that extremely hard to believe since the dinosaurs evolved on an Earth that was far hotter than what we'll see this century (as much as 10°C warmer). Yes, they evolved over millions years from the previous mass extinction event, but the point is that plenty of plants and animals were able to survive in such a warm world. It wasn't mostly inhospitable to life.

Also because humans have existed in all sorts of environments from tundras to deserts for tens of thousands of years with stone-aged technology, including ice ages. The latest IPCC reports puts the upper limit of warming under 4°C.
> None of that justifies claiming the cost is due to gravity.

It scales a lot with gravity. Compare the cost of a vehicle capable of reaching lunar orbit (e.g. the Eagle), with the cost of getting humans into Earth orbit (e.g. the Mercury-Atlas). And the Eagle carried two people.

Say you live in Coop City. Even getting to Gun Hill Road on the 5 is going to take you ten minutes on the bus. If you want to get to the west side of Manhattan, you're going to take the 5 to 149 St/Grand Concourse and change to the 2. To get to e.g. Times Square it's going to take over an hour assuming perfect timings.

I haven't seen proposed timings for the East Bronx stations into Penn but Fordham to Grand Central is only like 20 minutes. The railroads are much faster than the subway because of less stop-and-go due to fewer stations plus greater top speed.
Something that clicked for me while reading this article: ChatGPT means that a person can write faster than they can read.

Over the past fifty years, technology and the internet have made it increasingly easy to produce content. And on the whole, looking back, I'd say that has been a net negative. Because our "attention", as the article puts it, is a limited resource, and the world today has too much noise and not enough signal. And that's the world before ChatGPT.

We are now at the point where producing content is easier than consuming content. That has never happened before in all of human history. And humanity is clearly not ready.

Both of these are something you've stated as "bad" ... why? Why are they bad? Clearly the model works and YC has been very successfull, could it be because of these reasons? I don't know either way, but your website doesn't really explain why these are bad things, just states them as such.

These things are going to drive me crazy. I think stuff generated by an AI like this should have to be tagged. It’s infuriating to waste one’s time trying to read an interpret a message (or some code), trying to understand the author’s intent, only to realize the author merely pressed a “generate a bunch of code/text” button and I’m spending time trying to interpret shit the author didn’t even spend time writing.

My experience with this hitherto relates to terrible scaffolded/generated code. I’m scratching my head wondering “why did s/he do it this way?” only to realize the nonsense code was lazily churned out by some generator. I wish this stuff was labeled clearly.
How well does this work in practice? I'd imagine it works better for stuff like 4koma style where the panels have a consistent size/emphasis and stick rigidly inside the confines of the panel but what happens for big dramatic panels?

I don't actually think buying cars sight unseen is the main obstacle here, because what you're describing (folks taking advantage of the system) represents a tiny percentage of transactions.

I think the biggest issue is that you've taken a business which has notoriously low margins (used cars) and you're operating on the lowest margin end on both sides. On the sell side you're buying cars that would otherwise be sold private party - i.e. from the most price-conscious sellers. On the buy side you're competing against dealerships on price but also offering a more premium/white-glove experience which eats into your margins.

The phallus is a representation of strength, dominance and leadership, while the golden throne suggests a desire for elevated status and recognition. The underground chamber can indicate feelings of being hidden or unseen, and not being able to fully express yourself. It could also be a sign that you are feeling blocked and unable to access your true power or potential. This could be related to a lack of confidence or fear of success. The dream could be encouraging you to explore your inner strength and take a chance to reach for the things you want in life.

I did, and I think this kind of reasoning is not wise or meaningfully scientific. Experiencing physical pain in the response to something when you see it is way more immediate and way more relevant to one's own decisions regarding that stimulus than some study about average effects across a population of people who have different eyes than you in a situation that you can only hope is sufficiently analogous to your actual usage. (Note that GP writes only about their own experience— their comment does not contain a general argument.)

The article in the OP mentions that things may be different for people with various eye conditions. Guess what? Experiencing pain from using light mode is pretty much a defining symptom of such conditions.

> Light sensitivity is a condition in which bright lights hurt your eyes. Another name for this condition is photophobia.

https://www.healthline.com/health/photophobia

Through genetic testing, my sister has been diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease which is a cause of photophobia. Despite seeing eye doctors (including various specialists) her whole life, and knowing her entire life that bright light is painful for her, it took her decades to get that diagnosis.

According to your reasoning here, self-advocating for her health and accessibility based upon her own experience of her conditions would have been based on unworthy 'anecdotal proclamations' up until a few months ago.

Let's revisit that characterization:

> Anecdotal techbro proclamations that dark mode is easier to read has been categorically proven false. It’s not easier to read and it’s not less strain on your eyes.

It's very easy to find studies later than the date of the OP challenging this view on eye strain with respect to dark mode, including ones that consider the effects of blue light filters, e.g., https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9363189/

> What happens when it turns out some genetic inserts in the corn creates something like mad cow disease (but in humans) 3-5 years later? Turns out some protein the corn produced we thought was harmless caused massive issues.

Do you require similar safeguards with plants created by "classic" genetic engineering and random mutations occurring all the time? Such methods usually involve making tons of random mutations, which nobody tests for anything, until we manage to also get the one that we want.

Of course you rarely make a completely new protein by random mutations (different story with naturally evolving viruses), however, current genetic engineering of plants and animals for food is AFAIK not about completely new proteins too -- it's about turning off existing pathways, or about transferring existing proteins from one species to another.
