That statement was in a context of a paragraph about solar for wealthy people / upper middle class on a site with tech people who, coincidentally, near universally fall in that category.

If you have solar, you won’t ever go 3 days without some energy generation. The 3 days of battery is mainly a buffer for night time when solar is offline.

One criticism I have of the TfT/PKM space (as a member of it) is it often puts too much onus on the tool or system you use. The human element is often diminished in favor of replicating our brains in our notes.

So instead of making connections in your mind while using the TfT app as an external thought workspace, we put this extra process on top to make the TfT system a replication of our brains in and of itself. For most people, this is an unsustainable effort (myself included).

As I see it, the tool is simply the place we work out ideas and how we mentally relate them to one another. Whether a plaintext file or an interlinked set of notes is sufficient to achieve that end goal is up to the individual.
> Most acquisitions happen due to an acquirer wanting one of three assets: your team, your product, or your revenue. And if you’re lucky, all three.

I might be alone on this (I don’t see it mentioned often) but I think I’d consider it very lucky if they only wanted 2 of those 3. A huge part of why I started a company in the first place is to not work for someone else, and selling myself back into a job seems like the opposite of a win!

It doesn’t seem very common for sales to happen without the founder sticking around though. I’ve assumed this is because buyers do in fact mostly want the founder as an employee, and either aren’t willing to do the deal without that, or the offer is so much lower that it’s not worth selling.
The thing is there are many people who are fine with this because their preferred party is in charge.

They do not care if these obviously dystopian abuses of power are wrong because they are ideologically aligned with those in power (at least, they think they are)

Exactly. We are moving to a tine where having a person individually and attentively help you with anything is a high order luxury item.

A major change is on the horizon though. We are close to where a large language model could play the role of the support side of that call. But if it an AI on the support side, would anyone bother to learn on the customer side?

> Large groups of people classify people by their gender at birth, and 1) would disagree that this distinction is social in nature

The disagreement is not over the factual physical observation. “Was born with (or without) a penis” is not a social distinction, but is also not the source of the disagreement.

The social weight given to it, OTOH, is. “Gets addressed in a particular way, is allowed in certain shared spaces and banned from others, etc.,” are, factually and indisputably, social distinctions, and are the focus of the disagreement.

> 2) Would also disagree that it has historically been socially constructed differently in different culture

This is just factually wrong; systems with more than two gender roles, and/or where one or more of the most closely corresponding to the supposedly universal binary defended by the side that claims one exists can be ascribed on bases other than the physical traits that faction demands should control ascription of gender have, in fact, existed (before now.)

> You won't find any example where such a norm became dominant, and you won't find any society which lasted more than 50 years after such ideas became even speakable in public.

This is, simply false; there are, for instance, very many examples in the indigenous cultures of the Americas.

The issue I, and many others have is not in the idea of BEV's but more in the current state of Battery technology. Lithium is infact "scarce" in the since that the total quantity available is less than what would be needed to replace all vehicles. Honestly though Lithium nor cobalt is the issue, cobalt will likly be replace with LiFE chem batteries anyway.

Copper is a greater issue, also the economical longevity of BEV's are another issue. You seem to focused on the idea of battery recycablity which has yet to be proven to be ECONOMICALLY viable (much like everything else beyond Aluminum) yet do not talk about all the other limited materials that go in an EV outside the battery like copper.

It is not uncommon for environmentalist to simply ignore economics as an inconvenient truth, or an irrelevant topic that does not need consideration but BEV's have all kinds of economic issues including a lower expected life due tot he cost of battery replacement, resell issues on the used market, etc.

That is with out getting into the technological problems with BEV's in winter..

If anyone is "glossing over" anything it is the BEV proponents that want to hand wave all of these things with whataboutisms (like you have in your comments) or simply pretending those are not issues, or worse that government can hand-wave a solution
Not sure how they can deliver firewood when the roads are impassible. And in very heavy snowfall -- esp dry powder that you get when the air is, and stays, very cold -- you'll continue to get significant amounts of snow on the roads long after it stops snowing as the wind blows it onto the road.

Additionally, a well-maintained suv with 4wd and snow tires isn't a cheap thing to own and maintain.

And if you get your car stuck somewhere with wind chills dipping to -50F, dying of hypothermia is a possible and/or likely outcome.

You can really tell who has never lived through a serious winter.

Pretty sure you wouldn't when it starts telling you to make illegal turns, or tell you to turn where there are no roads etc, that is the state of language models for code. You'd likely run over a person or get stopped by police at some point if you listen to it, then it is easier to just turn it off so you can focus on driving. A bad assistant is much worse than no assistant.

Edit: And these models are more like Teslas autopilot than an assistant giving you directions, since you have to oversee what it does instead of letting it tell you what to do. An autopilot that does the wrong thing 10% of the time is horrible.

Yes, of course. Your tone has to convey not only, "I am not a predator" but also "I do not perceive you as a threat, and so the purpose of my vocalization is not to scare you away because I perceive you as a threat, and if you come close I am likely to try to harm you in order to defend myself."

I use Copilot daily and experimented with using ChatGPT for real work code.

It’s an incredibly valuable tool even with having to rewrite the larger outputs… the small stuff like autocompleting variables and keys is highly accurate and what it most often generates (it’s scary how good it is at finishing the exact line you had in your head x50 times a day).

What you need to be careful about is when it generates entire functions or whole mini-modules. This is still extremely useful because it gets your brain running. It provides a simple template to suggest how it might look.

That way you’re no longer starting from scratch, you see a toy example with real code - for intellectual/creative work having that sort of seed is super useful.

Imagine a writer with writers block staring at a blank page vs a generated sample of dialogue between two characters or an intro paragraph to get the ball rolling.

Usually you have to burn a few cycles, fail a couple times writing some code, to get to the point where you’ve written something good. So it’s a normal part of the process to throw Version 0.1 away IMO.

In my experience, the limitations imposed by the borrow checker actually make you express your ideas more clearly. In this way, you might be fighting the compiler, but when your code does compile, it usually does what you wanted it to (and is also designed in a much better way, since you're forced not to take the easy way to the finish line).
Well yes, the problem of being targeted by a centuries-long genocide campaign carried out by and within the borders of the wealthiest and most advanced nation on earth is, in fact, unique to American indigenous peoples.

I'm not saying "bad things only happen to native Americans." I'm saying "the American campaign of genocide against native Americans only happened to native Americans."

At this point you seem to be willfully ignoring the numerous modern day examples of injustices perpetrated on these people. This is not some long-gone history. As mentioned in other threads, governments kidnapped native children as recently as the 1970s. They showed up to houses, stole children, shipped those children to boarding schools to be raped, tortured, and killed en masse - optimistically to be brainwashed out of their culture. Governments are continuing to wrestle natural resources from tribes as recently as today. Right now. Across the entire country.
Interesting. Have heard mention of similar over the years, but never seen it in person myself.

Sounds strange, as - without knowing any better - I'd expect the memory interface to be agnostic to the chips implementing it. eg "address 0x11111111" on 'high density' ram would be seen exactly the same as "address 0x11111111" on other ram

I kind of object to that use of the term, when social media was coined it clearly did not apply to pseudonymous forum sites.
The NY Post was banned for violating the hacked materials policy, and they were unbanned after Twitter changed the policy. It wasn't 12 hours, but it was pretty quick. Meanwhile plenty of other media outlets published embarassing details about the laptop contents on Twitter, and were not banned... because they didn't violate the hacked materials policy. If underlying goal was to suppress the story about the laptop and prevent embarassment, why didn't they also ban those accounts?

Also, what exactly is the rule you want in place re: banning by social media platforms? Do you have a principle behind your positions that you can articulate?

Some days after the call we got a stack of floppies in the mail from Microsoft with a small bug fix that helped with whatever the situation was we had encountered. Just night and day compared to most modern interactions with tech companies.

> They recognized her as the person that fills the feeder

Even songbirds do this with my parents. If they're outside and the feeder is empty, they'll perch on the closest (but not too close) spot and squack until my parents move, then they'll perch a little closer to the feeder and repeat if my parents follow them.

If they're not outside, they'll sit outside the door or even fly into the garage if it is open and chirp and squack until they come out.

It's amusing and more than a little impressive to see since songbirds aren't much associated with intelligence like corvids are.

"Developers Outraged After Free Intelligent Assistant Fails to Write Perfect Code on First Try"

In a shocking turn of events, developers are expressing their frustration and outrage after their nearly-free intelligent assistant failed to write perfect code on its first try. Despite being able to complete various coding tasks with ease, the assistant has reportedly struggled with issues such as logical bugs and security vulnerabilities.

"I can't believe it!" exclaimed one developer. "I spent all of ten dollars on this fancy new assistant, and it can't even write a simple program without introducing some kind of flaw or weakness. What's the point?"

Others have expressed similar disappointment, with some even going as far as to claim that the assistant is "useless" and a "complete waste of resources."

However, experts are quick to point out that the limitations of these intelligent assistants should come as no surprise. After all, they are not capable of reasoning about code or understanding the intricacies of secure programming.

"It's important to remember that these assistants are simply tools, and like any tool, they have their limitations," said one industry insider. "Expecting them to write perfect code every time is unrealistic and unfair."

Despite the disappointment and frustration, developers are still finding ways to make use of these intelligent assistants, recognizing that they can still be valuable resources when used properly.

"I guess we just have to accept that there will always be some limitations, and work with what we have," said one developer, shaking his head in disbelief. "Who would have thought that something so advanced and powerful could still be susceptible to the occasional bug or security issue? The future is a strange and mysterious place, indeed."

Note that just because that would cut CO2 does not mean its worth doing. E.g. that speed limit could easily cost more QALYs (e.g. via longer commutes meaning more tired people and less quality time with kids and more spousal arguments) than are saved with it. Particularly if, for example, geoengineering via sunshades or somesuch proves viable this century.

While this may work for certain use cases, I don’t know that it is a stable definition of “my data”. One starts running into paradoxes when you consider data you generate when having a conversation with others, for example. I haven’t given this deep thought but perhaps our desire to use concepts or “property” is ill fated. On the other hand, a privacy lens can capture cases that “my data is what I generate” cannot adequately address, such as a friend snapping a picture of the inside of my house and posting it on social media.
Funny because EV is a losing strategy if everyone tries to get giant long-range batteries. Resourcing that many minerals is quite a problem. Small batteries and hybrid for long trips might be the winner after all. 95% of car trips

> It's been 100+ years since they were mistreated in any serious fashion

This is just patently untrue. Land is still being stolen, programs to help Indigenous people are still being cut. I dont think people realize how close our history actually is. There were still nearly 10,000 children in Native American residential schools as of 2007. The height of them ended in the 70s, which is barely 50 years away. Thats quite literally the parents of modern day teenagers and young adults.

These schools have absolutely decimated the population and culture of indigenous people.

That was Sansar, which was a "game level loader" type of virtual world. You connect to a space, you wait while a gigabyte or so of content downloads, and then performance is good. It didn't sell.
