How to make money:

Offer this as a service to a business. The service (which I'm charging for, but don't yet have customers) is:

1. Paint some scooter parking lines in a reasonable spot, and add a signage explaining why the org wants to incentivize scooter usage.
2. The scooter parking would make use of existing nooks and crannys in the parking lot, so it wouldn't take away existing car parking.
3. Work with the staff to find the staff that lives relatively close to the business, and is amenable to scooting. Teach and train and hand-hold through their scooter purchase, so when they're working, their scooter is parked outside.
4. Once there's staff using scooters regularly, there will nearly always be a scooter or two parked outside the building, which will start to normalize scooter usage for customers
5. Hand-hold early adapting customers through the same process.
6. Add signage and website and email campaigns to let interested customers learn more about the whole thing.

Done. Every time there is a scooter parked in front of a business, that's a car parking spot freed up. Keep refining the process until during busy hours, there is a number of scooters in front of the business equal to ten percent of the number of parking spots.

I won't be removing any parking. Only creating new parking, and helping more people start scooting.

I ran for city council in golden, Colorado, a few years ago, and saw far too much of how the sausage is made. City councils have no power, by design. They exist to absorb the ire of angry citizens, and to insulate the city staff from the effects of their decisions.

There is no world where city council is helpful. They're a lagging indicator of the social norms of middle and upper class white people.

The legal changes will lag social changes, so it's not helpful to directly target legal changes.

Why?

It's a serious question. What would be the point of going on? Why would we have to figure out how to do it?
I have a ~$175 Android head unit that offers CarPlay functionality in one of our daily drivers. There's nothing stopping car makers or head unit/car infotainment systems makers from creating CarPlay compatibility in their devices.
Currently there's a dedicated fuse for the OnStar system. You can pull that and the consumer facing OnStar functionality stops working (remote monitoring, etc). I assume it's really actually fully disabled by the fuse, but I can't guarantee it.
Just the opposite. Bad people on both sides. Or at least, jumpy, armed people on both sides.

As I said, it's better than being the jumpy, unarmed one facing the jumpy, armed one. Most of the jumpy, armed ones currently have nothing to be jumpy about -- which makes them extra jumpy because they're jumpy about everything. And when faced with an actual threat... it's going to be bad.
From a compiler as system environment perspective, there are a couple of approaches used:

-- 4gl languages[0] aka direct in-language support for database(s)

-- programming language library extensions for dealing with specific types of databases/database formats

-- use of a programming language's standard file/internet read/write functions to import/export formats such as ODBC,json, html and ascii delimited file(s).

I wonder if Georgi or jart use GPT in their programming and design. I guess the training data was lacking for the sort of stuff they do due to their field of work especially jart.
When I was a kid in the 80s my house had an electric heat pump and the aux (resistive) heater coil didn't kick on until about 0F (-18C). You could tell because it smelled a bit when it happened, which was pretty rare. I guess it probably kicked in some more times overnight and I didn't notice, but overall the heat pump did the lion's share of the work.

Heat pumps have become much more efficient since then. I replaced an old and rusty unit on my first townhouse and cut the electric bill by $100-$200/month in the middle of summer and dead of winter.
You don't have to get yourself better informed. Info asymmetry and knowledge gaps are at all time highs.

There is nothing gained asking random ppl to be better "educated and informed" about things even experts are still processing.

Just remember, all the thousands of news stories and podcasts and stand up comedy routines and movies and shows "educating and informing the public" did absolutely nothing to stop the iraq/afghan war, or the 2008 meltdown, or the election of circus clowns, or the mindless attention economy and so many other serious issues. Zero effect on outcomes.

So there is this "let me tell you how to think and feel about x" buffoon class army that pops up everywhere these days. They are not doing anything useful (or abv outcomes wld be different) Other than collecting likes/followers to pay their own mortgages. So tune them out.

Leave things to the experts, is the least time/energy wasting move available.

"RCI works by first having the LLM generate an output based on zero-shot prompting. Then, RCI prompts the LLM to identify problems with the given output. After the LLM has identified problems with the output, RCI prompts the LLM to generate an updated output."

"Similar to other prompting-based approaches for reasoning in LLMs, RCI can be viewed as using the LLM’s output to write to an external memory, which is later retrieved to choose an action"

I bought the 64 GB model and then picked up a 1 TB Sabrent Gen 4 SSD to install into it.

Pretty straight forward! The Steam Deck is repairable and there are a ton of iFixit guides.

The only things I didn't really like were:

- Unhooking plastic clips on the case - I dislike this generally since I'm always afraid of breaking a clip

- Disconnecting the battery was a PAIN. Everything is pretty compact - it took a long time to get it out.

- Flashing the OS requires you to have a good internet connection - it won't tell you if it can't connect, it'll just say it's trying to connect. Just press B, re-select a network, and move into a better spot.

- During the flashing OS process the buttons won't work. They work after everything is done installing.

> Anyone have any numbers to back this up or refute it?

Don't know where you are, but here in the UK right now the split is 34% wind, 29% gas, remaining <other> [0]. If you migrated from a modern condensing boiler with 90% efficiency to a heat pump with 300% efficiency (1 unit of electricity outputs 3 units of heat), then with the gas condensing boiler you're getting 0.9 units of heat per unit of gas, and with a heat pump you're getting 0.87 units of heat per unit of gas, _plus_ 1 unit of heat from wind.

Over the last year, the _majority_ of the time the split in generation sources looks like this. It's occasionly heavier on gas, but for 11 months of the year, it's a no brainer, and I don't think that outdoes the 1-2 weeks per year that you're using an almost equivalent amount of gas.

They could release embeddings for their categories, they claim to have over 150K categories so that would help understand what is "close" to the categories you like. To proper interpretate why some recommendations got in your feed you will need access to your user embeddings so maybe they can do some sort of personal portal to explore those.

That's hot it is with my Fit. No touch screens or syncing with apps or any of that. I stick my phone in the holder, plug in power if I'll be driving for a while, and switch the stereo to aux/bluetooth.

I've had rentals with Carplay/Android Auto and they're kinda neat when they aren't a pain in the ass to set up (probably due to the cheap head units' software). But I already see nav and hear directions/music/podcasts/calls through the car's stereo.

I thought about upgrading the head unit from stock, but then I realized I was looking at a few hundred bucks at least. I don't spend enough time in my car to need a slightly bigger screen when I already have one right in front of me, sitting in its mount.

Not as if I'd rip the thing out if I got a car with Carplay/AA built=in. I just don't see it as a huge selling point.
> Seems dumb of them. Cost is trivial and their competition that isn’t so politically motivated will have a much further reach.

It's wild hubris for twitter to try to invoice/penalize the very users and organizations that make twitter anything but insolvent. There should be money exchanged here, but it should be flowing generously and most importantly in the other direction.

> Kids can get Porn Novels where you are?

It’s mostly self checkouts, so yes, if the library has the book. They wouldn’t have porn magazines.

Or they can read it there, or they can take it to the counter and get it out via the librarian.

There are also computers for use, though I assume they have filters/blockers/restrictions.
Your arguments are all over the place and frankly I don't understand what is the problem you are trying to say. Something can be both undesirable and normal. In fact, I would even say that most of the time, the most normal outcome is a failure and we have to put in extra effort to make it a success.

I have seen plenty of bright and intelligence students who most of the time are just parrots of what were told in class or from some other sources. It is actually highly unusual for a high school student or even a freshman or sophomore in college to have an absolutely original and correct idea. That doesn't mean I look at my students as unintelligent, even the below-average ones.

And here comes the crux of the issue. You automatically assign the ability to "reason" to a human even when we make mistakes aplenty. But when a machine does it, you said that is a proof of unintelligence. This is what the OP was criticizing in their post. Most deniers are using arbitrary requirements applied only on the AI and not humans.

After teaching quite a few college level kids, I dare to say that the AI models right now exhibit reasoning ability close to many human. Doesn't mean they are sentient or human-level yet, but they are definitely much much better than what I would ever expect out of dumb silicon and steel.
I am using an Ecobee thermostat with a heat pump and it is working, for both heating and cooling. Is it doing something inefficient or wrong? What am I missing out on?

To be clear, I wasn't accusing you of this, in general there is a broad sentiment going back all the way to the 80s that espoused a racist view that Asia could copy and produce but could not create. In middle school we were sold the vision that we would design products because of our superior creativity and intellect and people in Asia would make our products.
The indisputable fact is that everyone who votes Republican is voting for the party that supported and continues to refuse to denounce the Jan 6 coup attempt.

This, on top of being the party that is actively working to create laws to make it easier to hurt people they don't like all over the country, and laws to make sure they get to determine the results of elections anywhere they can ram it through.
We are a pretty large org and especially for major incident resolution I see coscreen work. However, in order for it to be used during majors the software should be readily available for the engineers. On the other side I can also imagine being challenged why we would need to pay seats for all our users.

Will there be an option for something like floating licenses or being billed after the fact?

Gun ownership has been tied to race and civil right in the US for a long time. After the Civil War, there were laws passed to prevent black people from owning guns. Gay people and black people have had similar experiences in dealing with hatred and discrimination.

In the US, there are a lot of people who own guns, and there are a lot of people who feel that they need to overthrow the government. Maybe not right now, but sometime soon. That was a big undercurrent to the whole Jan 6 insurrection. The fact is that something like half the population is Republican, and half of that believed that Trump had the election stolen from him. So, as a rough estimate, something like 25% of the US population thinks the government is illegitimate. I don't know how many of that population would support a violent overthrow, but it's much greater than zero.

So, given all that, what's a regular person to do? I can totally understand why a peaceful, non-insurrectionist would want to own guns. They buy guns to protect themselves from the people who think that they need to overthrow the government.
> that's what pretty much every person does

But the people who are relevant to the matter work to bring that beyond a minimum.

> and if you put a gun to my head

And how are they choosing to balance them, per capita, or just both sides should get 50%? It seems pretty clear they are making editorial decisions here. Does that break their section 230 protections?
No it's not quite the claim, because the question is nonsense as a riddle - if it's really about polar bears then the talk about trains and windows and speed is all irrelevant and can be discarded. Which is exactly what ChatGPT did. And if that turns the riddle into some silly gotcha then whatever, it's a bad riddle.

And as you point out, the average person would also be confused - "I don't know, purple?" would be a reasonable response. Because the question is dumb in the first place
The NHS is chronically under-funded compared with other western European countries on a per-capita basis. It is one of the most efficient systems in the world in terms of £ in and outcomes out.

The underfunding is the cause of the inefficiencies that you have probably seen. It literally does not have enough staff, buildings, beds, mri machines etc to operate and is constantly fire-fighting.

Yes, it's a big employer, and? It provides health care to 70 million people, of course it is. Why do you think competition would improve things? the US spends more than 2x as much per capita.
For some problems, somehow GPT-3.5 is better than GPT-4.

I asked it to help me extract certain values from a spreadsheet. It gave me a complicated and overly long formula using FIND and MID that didn't even work.

GPT-3.5, otoh, gave me a neat little REGEXEXTRACT formula that worked perfectly.

When I pointed out to GPT-4 that it can just use regex instead, it "apologized" and again rewrote a formula that didn't work.
I agree that LLMs could be one module in a future AGI system.

I disagree that LLMs are good at simulation. They're good at prediction. They can only simulate to the degree that the thing they're simulating is present in their training data.

Also, if you were trying to build an AGI, why would you NOT run it slowly at first so you could preserve and observe the logs? And if you wanted to build it to run full speed, why would you not build other single-purpose dumber AIs to watch it in case its thought stream diverged from expected behavior?

There's a lot of escape hatches here.
Whether or not that's true for your particular situation is going to be very location dependent, but I think the salesperson is fairly wrong in the general case in the US. Fossil fuel generation accounts for about 60% of US electricity and natural gas electricity generation is around 50% efficient. Another 5-10% is lost due to transmission, so say around 40% of the energy potential of a natural gas power plant makes its way to your house as electricity. Combine those and it means that every 1Wh of electrical energy generated takes the equivalent of 1.5Wh worth of natural gas.

That doesn't sound particularly good, since new natural gas furnaces can be around 90% efficient, meaning that same 1.5Wh of natural gas could produce 1.35Wh worth of heating. Except heat pumps have an efficiency of around 2.5-3, meaning for every 1Wh of electrical energy they consume, they produce 2.5-3Wh worth of heat. That means producing 3Wh worth of heat with a heat pump consumes 1.5Wh worth of natural gas in the standard US electrical energy mix. Getting that same 3Wh worth of heat directly from a natural gas furnace would take over twice the amount of natural gas. Even if your electricity generation is 100% natural gas, the heat pump would be very competitive with natural gas.

Now if you live in an area that gets really cold (meaning heat pump efficiency on average is lower) and all your electricity is generated by an old coal power plant (which is less efficient and dirtier), natural gas heating may actually be a greener option for now. But on average that's not the case and many places in the US have much better green fundamentals for heat pumps thanks to mild temperatures and/or lots of non-fossil fuel energy generation.
Police already know about this. It's called a "dragnet".

Critically, no re-doing of the parking required. It'll just be adding scooter parking spots in existing nooks and crannys around the building/parking lot.

Company is incentivized by adding available vehicle parking spots.

Sportique scooters, the local scooter dealer to Denver, is down and happy to offer me some commission for scooter sales that I bring in, but that's not the main thing for me. I want corporate buy-in from the companies I'm courting, cuz I'll need their permission to access staff and customers.

(I'll be adding signage, and the companies will make some concession to scooter riders, to make it a bit more appealing. A free drink, $20/mo in free food, etc. It'll be a case-by-case decision, based on what they can offer that's easiest/most useful to the customer, etc)

Scooters are super cheap, and let you move through a city way fast, and can be parked nearly anywhere, regardless of how busy the area is, and it's literally $6 for a tank of gas. And they get 100 mpg.

I think a little progress will lead to a lot of progress.
