> For example: what would it cost Amazon if they were charged a recycling fee for all single-use packaging by the state California?

The bigger question is what would it cost the planet. For Amazon to collect and recycle the packages, rather than the local municipality, would enormously increase the amount of emissions created.

You would be making things much much much worse.
lol privacy policy is definitely one of the things that goes on the TODO list.
We simply can't mechanically derive the underlying model strictly from facts. No amount of computation that transforms facts into other facts can reach the deeper layer of the truth. There's simply no logical nor mathematical connection b/w the phenomenon on the surface and models that can describe it concisely.

The modern AI models can successfully fit to various phenomenon, including even some chaotic ones, but they never can describe the phenomenon in truthful and concise ways. The modern AI strategy will need billions of parameters to unreliably predict a chaotic system that can be cleanly simulated w/ thousands of variables. Reducing the complexity from billions to thousands is a huge leap that can't be derived logically nor mathematically only from the observed facts.

Simplicity would be more likely to imply creation than complexity.

Simplicity implies understanding and intent.

No one would design the absolute spaghetti code mess that underlies our existence.

Look at the computers we build. Neat little rows and friendly little abstractions.

> but 20% of recycled plastic ends up in the ocean!

I'm virtually certain that's not even close to true. I remember reading a study that pretended like that was the number, but looking closer the "study" was basically "let's make up numbers, and extrapolate them", and they didn't collect any actual data.

I've always understood "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" to be applied in that order. But commercial consumption propaganda of course emphasizes recycling and de-emphasizes reduction and reuse. Emphasizing recycling encourages guilt-free consumption which is good for profit.

That is a really strange way of looking at this.

From what I can tell, the car wasn't broken, it was operating as expected. It couldn't get the battery warm enough so it didn't charge. If you had replaced that specific Tesla with another one (modulo variations in battery heating technologically) it likely would have behaved the same.

Right.

Crucially, these models don't actually state that the companies that do the best job will win out, but that the most profitable ones do.

The problem arises when screwing over the user is more profitable than doing it properly.

That's why the tech industry is so ethically corrupt today. There's very little regulation to make dark patterns and sloppy security practices more costly than they are profitable.

I view JAX as primarily an automatic differentiation tool with the bonus that it makes great use of XLA and can easy make use of GPU/TPUs.

Penske is the winner there (edit: in my experience, YMMV). We moved from CA to OR in spring 2021. Got a res through UHaul for a box truck, and got a call 24 hours later basically telling me that they were massively overbooked and wouldn't be able to confirm a truck for me until the morning we were supposed to pack the truck up and leave. There's not a snowball's chance in hell that I'm gonna plan for a move with that level of uncertainty, lol.

Called Penske, because I'd always had a good business relationship with them via my job. I was told, "Oh, yeah, we don't do that shit. If you book a truck that day, it's gonna be here, guaranteed."

Sure enough, Penske had it. We packed up the truck, I got on the road, and about 45 minutes later I got a call from UHaul telling me that I could pick up an available truck, but it was three hours away.

I laughed loudly and just hung up.
It probably had problems with this part "two one dollar bills". A lot of text that contains "two" and "one" results in a "three", but also many texts with "two" and "one" results in "two", and then the model randomly chooses between those two interpretations. The worst part is that it doesn't even do it consistently for the same piece of text, creating that nonsense.

Thank you for the contextualization - but Iran’s handling is nowhere close to Islamic, not observing the hijab doesn’t take you out of the fold of Islam (also where have men been held to the hijab - covering awrah, in such places?) - the 5 pillars are the fardh, everything else is something we strive towards.

Allah SWT’s mercy is boundless, hudhud punishments can’t be enacted for something minor of this sort. Iranian government lost the plot and is using every excuse to feign legitimacy when it never had any.
I've started full-vim and eventually settled for exactly that. It's been a success. Recently had to work from Windows after years on Mac, also using VSCode after years of Intellij and it wasn't a big deal because the Vim experience was mostly on par between Intellij and VSCode. I still prefer Intellij, but the remote coding (over SSH) experience on VSCode is just so much better.
Despite being well off income-wise, my expenses are under $20k/yr on average. This is with owning a home, buying a car every 5 yrs, and basically buying anything else I might want. I could go as low as $5k/yr in fixed expenses if I had to.

I could spend more, but can't think of any additional products I'd want to clutter up my house with.

Not doing anything too special/weird here (I grow some of my own food and try to repair things myself, but that's about it), so seems strange you'd need so much in retirement.
That goes both ways. The US economy is dependent on having markets for consumer goods. Losing the EU as an easy market nukes the US economy as well.
I've been seeing ideas like this a lot lately and I really don't like them. If something that's been in widespread use for decades is bad for the environment, come up with a better alternative first, and only then stop producing the old thing.
Interesting that plastic bottles that get accidentally shipped to India are still worth extracting and recycling.

> unmasked waste pickers sifted for metal cans or intact plastic bottles that could be sold

The plastic they burn is envelopes made of soft plastic that have been incorrectly sorted by the recycling process and bundled with paper that they do actually want.
Other benefits of this approach: registration would make it much easier to identify works out of copyright and it would be much easier for the public to reclaim abandoned works.
Sure, but my point is that the computability of something is a poor measure of its complexity as a game of the non computable aspects are game theoretically always a dumb idea.

You could make a similar claim about a game where any player can win at any time if they choose, but can alternatively do anything else. It’s not computable, but it is irrelevant to the complexity.

You could probably also argue that a Turing intending player is still computable if playing against someone with a defined strategy. Because they will be halted by the other player winning.
I've actually ended up syncing my KeyPass db & sharing it with my team via our own gitlab instance.

I'll have to pull changes if anybody added entries but:
- Db lies on our own encrypted servers instead of someone elses cloud
- access within the team is easily managed via ssh
- I'll have a commit stream telling me if anybody added sth and what
- can't easily fuck anything up in those shared records, have to consciously commit changes
- when we rotate master pw we clean the repo
Actually a lottery system would be way more representative. The chances of a wealthy politician being chosen by random lottery are pretty small.

A random person as president every term, that sounds like a better system to me, a person more likely in touch with the everyday problems and with far less political motivation. Plenty of reasons it wouldn't work like immediate corruption by companies wanting their own legislation by promising random person money and jobs after their term. Not necessarily worse than the corruption we have now. Interesting idea nonetheless.
sounds like hooking the API up to wikidata would be a sustainable long-term solution (presumes wikidata has the relevant coverage).
I had to beg for a simple server to separate staging and customers demos once, that were jamming up half a day a week.

They actually have a GUI interface over it now with the ability for power/legacy users to drop into the raw shell, if they wish. From feedback, many of the older agents actually prefer the command line, because it’s muscle memory and an experienced agent can perform routine tasks that would take multiple screens in the UI with one hand in the way we’re comfortable with our text editors.

> The first guy in the article built a $1.4 million house...

The article also notes that he doesn't have a mortgage. So that's $1.4M in assets. Not liquid assets, sure, but a lot of folks here are being snarky about it.

If you're already retired, you could do a lot worse than having $1.4M in home equity on top of your existing million dollar retirement savings. There are ways to get at that money, not the least of which is selling the home when the time comes (as it will come for all of us).

Yes, it is an extremely dangerous power. It is also, unfortunately, sometimes necessary, especially in emergencies. I'm generally strongly opposed to eminent domain when it's used for "economic development" and other such goals, but COVID was a textbook example where it was warranted.

And as for the difference between "speech" and "action", what the released emails show is that the government didn't stop at speech - it used Twitter as a proxy for censorship, and censorship is an action.

This is cool, I’ve only heard of cavitation in the context of the piston cylinders for the 7.3 idi engine. To mitigate this failure mode in the engine it’s important to keep coolant in good shape and maintain an additive.
This paper speaks about how cavitation is a widely studied phenomena (news to me!) and they’re more interested in the interplay of cavitation bubbles/particles as a whole - fascinating!
Applying grooves/textures in the micro fluidic passages are posited as a solution and am curious how that’s even possible, but am also wholly unaware on how microfluidic chips are manufactured. Maybe a subtractive chemical process?

While this is good advice in general, I have seen that people do end up having to connect to public WiFis in general (airports, traveling in a foreign country, lost LTE connections). I advise people never to accept "Insecure connection" warnings in browsers, with TLS in place and HSTS, practically the risk is very low.

> Studies on actual infections rates seem to be almost completely absent.

Numerous studies have been presented to ACIP over the last few years covering asymptomatic infections, symptomatic infections, and hospitalizations. From the 2021 meeting covering Pfizer-BioNTech, there were 5, [1] 17 [2], and 13 [3] of these studies, respectively. There are similar sets for Moderna [4]. From what I've seen of the ACIP meetings, those are the results they focused on the most.

I don't have much knowledge of medical research but I don't see how this could possibly be "completely absent". Would love to hear more about what's missing from these and the dozens of other studies which have been done since.

It has nothing to do with the browser vendor being in the ads industry. It's up to the website operator to respect it. If a website operator doesn't like a browser vendor's DNT defaults, it won't respect it, and that is why DNT failed. Regulatory backing could fix it.

Where is this coming from? The vast majority of what the EU does doesn't concern anyone but the EU, and is sometimes actively hurting non-EU entities like American corporations.

One motive I can see is to inflate the reports of school shootings. How often is news reported, then "if" there is a debunking, in print its inside the back page whereas the initial report was a lead on the front page.

I’ve had several occurrences where a delivery person would get all the way to my house, park on my street, call my phone, and if I didn’t answer, just drive away. I don’t think it’s always about the mileage, sometimes the driver is just lazy and wants any excuse to not have to do their job.

(It’s happened with a package delivery, as well as a washing machine installation. In the latter case it was Home Depot, when I finally got ahold of them they said it was my fault for not answering the phone and that I had to reschedule for 2 weeks out, meanwhile I didn’t have a working washing machine. I cancelled the order instead, went to Lowe’s and had a washer in a few hours.)

This might be true on military/nato matters, but economically, Europe and the EU can quite take care of themselves.
