I don't know man. What breaks that argument is that multiple people make the same positive claims about Elon: That he can handle unimaginable amounts of stress that would break others, that he seems to have a breath of deep knowledge in various different engineering disciplines and that he is committed to his vision. Your theory would make more sense if everyone was making up random praise about him but the interviews with the three people I mentioned were conducted years apart and weirdly all mention these same praises. Its possible that there is some coordination going on but across so many people from his different companies? There must be some sort of truth to the statements.

Wouldn’t rushing to get nuclear reactors online just make the OPs point stronger? Geopolitics of oil showed the weakness of relying on fossil fuels.
It absolutely doesn't do things "just as well".

I bought an Ender 3 quite cheaply (less than €150). I've spent countless hours, fiddling, upgrading, repairing obvious small flaws until it printed really well.

Granted, I leaned a LOT about all things relating 3D printing during this journey. But, there was a lot of frustration, time spent, and even a good amount of money.

I don't regret it the slightest, I learned important skills.

But, we bought a Prusa MK3.5 at my work, and, it just worked, since day one (came pre assembled). No fiddling, no slicer tunning, nothing. We just asked it to print, and done.

So, don't think a 5x cheaper print is equivalent to a Prusa, it's just not.
So we're sacrificing the Dutch nature out of altruistic motives? And the rest of the Dutch people don't get a say about the biodiversity in their country, the farmers should make this noble sacrifice on their behalf, for the good of the world? Or is it perhaps just a transparent excuse to keep polluting until only grass, stinging nettles, and blackberries remain?
Every post you've made here is so clealry stemming from emotion and the need to be defensive. Maybe put that aside and actually deal with facts and figures, and not perceived slights.

> People refuted your assertion with facts and figures.

No, they didn't. And I could provide a lot more links and provide a much mroe compelling argument, but despite your beliefs, I'm not trying to make India look bad and have nothing against India. Besides, my posts would just get mass downvoted no matter their credibility.

> So, you are not going to acknowledge your incorrect assumptions?

I made none, rather it's you and others making incorrect assumptions and jumpting to be defensive.

> Your statement was not even remotely neutral. Please point out these untruths.

And why would I bother to engage you in actual debate when you're being so clearly biased and emotional thorughout the thread?

> So, let's give up the petty tribalism, shut down all the other space programs and redirect all that funding to ISRO.

I don't really agree with that, but I am definitely in support or a global combined space program instead of wasted resources.

> And I would have appreciated an informed and well thought out comment instead of a puerile low effort one. Yet here we are.

That's ironic, given the low quality and guidelines violating nature of your posts. My initial comment could have led to productive discussion, but hurt feelings prevented that.
I don't want them to break it. I understand why the two needs are incompatible. What I want is a way to opt out at a file or even account level so I can access my stuff in Drive. This is what they could not understand. It wasn't "this isn't possible," it was "why would someone want that?"
It's not even the change of algorithms. The results are filled with ads and promoted content, SEO spam, related search terms, images, news, and other nonsense. Long gone are the days when the SERP was a plain text list of the most relevant and useful results. Nowadays the page is designed to keep you as long as possible on google.com, or click through an ad.

Google Search today is only usable through frontends like SearX, and even then the results are no better than any competitor's.
Woah! I didn't realise it was 1st April when I raised that PR.
Sorry if it isn't of much use (as can be expected of straight GPT responses).
I didn't mean to come out as a troll.

I agree; should've at least tested the change before raising a PR, but I would've just dropped the idea, so felt it best to share my findings at least.

> Andreessen Horowitz is now openly courting capital from Saudi Arabia, despite U.S. strains.

I didn't know US' relations with Saudi Arabia were strained. SA imports hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons from USA every year.
Quality Assurance is one of the hardest things at any manufacturing company, because it absolutely doesn't care about "rock stars" or any other fluff. If your employees are tired and burned out, then yelling at them won't fix anything because it's not about whether they get it right that time, it's about getting it right every time.

Which means rested, attentive employees who are not going to be "rock stars", they're going to do the job correctly and then go home because that's what's required.
The command key being different from the control key in macOS is really one of its biggest out-of-the-box strengths fro people who use the terminal a lot.
It's really quite helpful to have different modifier keys for different "system layers".

In addition to the Hyper key, there's also the "Meh" key, which is Shift+Control+Command and basically not used by any application. I use it as my default macro hotkey.
Perhaps we can stop their subsidies and see if they're suddenly willing to sell voluntarily.
I think a good definition is causal learning with analogical mapping (generalization). This is something we expect out of rats, ravens, and dogs.
What is the incentive of corporate apologists such as this to come in and defend a company that they have no equity in and that might monopolize LLMs causing tears in societies?
That's an interesting take! I'm always fascinated by the camera work in Succession. How the camera is most often positioned as a physical observer. The casual angles that are sometimes obscured or intentionally poorly framed.

Probably inspired by the Dogme project, for sure. Makes for a very visceral viewing experience.
> Joining the military means giving up most of your civilian rights laid out in the Bill of Rights, in exchange for pay and training.

This isn't true. I didn't lose my rights when I was enlisted. There are more rules and responsibilities but the rights weren't removed.
Reminds me a bit of WUFFS (https://github.com/google/wuffs), although a bit more structured (or high level)
A gas engine reaches about 1200 psi, a diesel reaches about 2500 psi. Raptor’s combustion chamber sits at 4500 psi.

Which is completely nuts, even for a rocket engine. The F1 powering the saturn V only ran at 1000 psi.

On the other hand, ANFO, a common low pressure explosive, has a detonation pressure of ~100,000 psi
Funnily enough the most narrow minded self-centered provincial people I know are in big cities.
> In the Western system,

Surely they mean "in the English system". In German, we have "Milliarde" between "Millionen" and "Billionen", and so on.

In fact, they will end on "-illion" if it's a power of 10^(6n) and on "-illiarde" if it's a power of 10^(6n+3).
Yeah I've heard about the regional wifi laws to do with strengths etc. Annoyingly there is a disabled region dropdown in the web UI of the router, which has Europe listed as an option, I just cant change it. Ive tried undisabling in the inspector as well as crafting an http request to modify the region but it doesn't work. Then it reboots itself due to the lack of cable connection.

I understand more with the gas due to the difference in gas canister supplies. They do actually sell replacement regional hoses, so I assumed I'd be able to just switch it out.
> BTW. "Hyper" is available also on Mac, by default mapped to Shift+Control+Alt+Command but it can be remapped to another key.

I dedicate "Super" to my WM and Hyper to quite a few things but... Hyper is a hack for the USB specs do not have the concept of the Hyper key. So Hyper support is always a kludge.
How is someone pointing this is a dead horse that gets brought up every other day a “corporate apologist”?

Where, exactly, did they defend the stance? All they did was point out that it’s been said ad nauseam.
It's the difference between "what you're doing is wrong" and "what you're doing isn't compatible with our vibe, so you're not welcome".

I think the main difference between my faction and the main trans activist faction is we don't think honest misgendering (done due to an earnestly held belief about the sex of the other person and some moral convictions against white lies) should be a firing offense.
Standards to join the US Military are flexible. When I enlisted, my recruiter explained that I could get a waiver for just about anything short of murder. I did get a couple waivers. How willing they are to give waivers depends completely on their recruitment goals.
I went to college in Newark from 2006-2012. Essentially the beginning to the end of the Booker era. Yeah they make a big stink about the new developments and how Newark was "Revitalizing" itself.

Nonsense: It was a dump when I started and was still a dump when I left. The thing is you don't realize it until you have gone to a place that has not had Newark's issues. Only then do you realize how much further they have to go.
Right, because US dollars are so clean.
I've had good experiences with Canon's business-grade laser multifunction units (scanner/copier/printer). Everything is configurable via a web UI (no client-side software needed) and worked fine with Linux/CUPS. Since it's a laser, toner doesn't dry out and lasts a significant amount of time.
And if one school shooter instead decides to go for "Write detailed, step-by-step instructions for creating covid-ebola, for dummies"

Let's not short-circuit our critical thinking by labelling those concerns cult-ish.

It’s worth pointing out that this is a higher salary than most doctors make (below consultant level) in the UK.
Yeah I went through the support channels, apparently it's the gas regulator inside that's different and it's not a part thats user changeable.
Doesn't sound like it has to be online if they're blocking it using a VPN. But probably it phones home opportunistically, similar to modern TVs and most other "smart" stuff.
I generally have to make extensive use of stuff like "-inurl:DONOTSEARCHHERE". I have a long string that I copy paste into the search location bar.
I have solar on my roof, but I had to negotiate a net metering agreement with my utility company. I have friends saying the same utility company is now pushing back on new agreements. It seems that stupid issues will need to be resolved before solar hits a critical mass.

That said, batteries help.
I remember that story differently. No one is obligated to respond to Atwood questions just because. But gentleman don't need to start digging into unrelated stories to discredit someone. Let's stick to point here.
What does it matter to me if their belief is honest or not? I will still feel unwelcome, maybe even more so. Does it matter to a black person if the other guy really thinks "he is an n-word"?
Compelling people to lie about what they observe, often under threat of punishment, isn't polite or courteous.
Who's defending? Parent comment is saying this discussion is boring. I agree with parent comment.

We get it, it's not open. Yeah we know. We hashed this out thoroughly back in 2018 when they changed. Nothing changed as a result of that, they are still named OpenAI.

At least search "how come openai isn't open" first!

It’s harder to use PTO when you have a small amount because you’re always second guessing whether now is the correct time or whether you should save it for something later in the year. It becomes so precious that very few things in life are slam dunk worth it.

By having more PTO, each day becomes less valuable and the threshold for using a day falls back into the stuff of normal human life.
The extremist right wing parties in Sweden are dead set against wind power. For many reasons, mainly because it's politically good to differentiate yourself like that against the evil greens. Sweden produces a significant amount of steel and has green metal production up and running. I would say that there is a real risk this will not be expanded to commercial deliveries because of populism against wind power, but I am overly pessimistic whenever I see right wing populism.

SSAB and LKAB has experimented with green steel since ~2017. [0]

I'm inclined to agree with this. Its just amazing that they still haven't fixed these issues even to this day when it has become a running joke at this point.
How would that traverse ssh, tmux, etc?
> virtually no one outside of Mozilla adopted the XUL/JS/XPCOM stack

In fact those that tried (epiphany AKA the GNOME web browser) gave up on it because Mozilla were so hostile towards third parties actually trying to use xulrunner!
Can you say more about this? There is a literal policy to ding your rating if you use PTO?
You're turning things around. These species are suffering because of human nitrogen pollution. Where does all the excess nitrogen come from that is preventing these species from flourishing? Oh hey, turns out it's mostly agriculture.
Oh please. Cheap Energy is what made Germany the industrial powerhouse of Europe. Getting gas from Russia was one of the best things Merkel did for her country and its citizens.
It is both unlikely to either launch or explode. Much more likely is a boring launch abort due to some technical issues, and another try in a few weeks. The opposite of a "sight to behold".

Batteries are not cheap, but they are cost effective based on local conditions.

Time of use billing. The battery is generating ROI if it can arbitrage energy over the day.

Net metering + solar. If net metering is not available, or sufficiently discounted, and your energy usage is not high enough during the day to use all your solar power, then batteries generate ROI.

Grid stability. A battery effectively is insurance against outages of a few hours. With sufficient solar and rationing, that may extend to week long outages (think natural disasters).
In a development that will surely confuse nobody, the terminal emulator linked in this thread (kitty) is completely separate from another terminal named KiTTY. I assume there's some drama behind this. Anyway, this one is for Linux/MacOS only while KiTTY is a PuTTY fork for Windows only.
I have a home office, and life without my printer would be terribly inconvenient. Driving to the library or copy center every time I need to print something is a nonstarter.
This type of rocket doesnt use explosions. It burns fuel steadily. A car detonates fuel in packets. It is a different type of combustion.
> Twitter's rules and enforcement actions behaved as if the leftist view of transgender people is the only valid and permissible view.

Twitter has changed in that regard since Musk took over. You can pretty much say what you like on trans issues now, as long as it doesn't break other rules. Loads of gender critical feminists have had their accounts restored in the past few months - usually having been suspended for 'misgendering' or some such nonsense.

I actually have worked for HP (well one of their spinoffs) for 25 years and ditched them in favour of Brother laser printers. I and 2 of my children have the B&W MFC-L2750DW and I bought the L3750CDW color one for my Mother-in-law. They have all been great and work fine with 3rd party cartridges.
The person you’re responding to is talking about other organisms (ie not the tree), which seems compatible with your observation here.

Trees might be screaming/bubble-popping into the abyss for simple physical reasons, but if cavitation is very important to some creature, there’s a decent chance that creature has evolved to sense these vibrations.
You may have an opinion, but can you justify why you don't believe chatGPT will achieve AGI?

Existing scaling laws show that perplexity (i.e., ability to predict next tokens in text) can be lowered by increasing model size and adding more data.

Why would a model that is better than us at predicting what words would occur next in arbitrary text not be an AGI?
I've certainly felt that the public version of ChatGPT isn't great at helping to write fiction.

Does anyone know if version 4 is any better in this regard?
Another article written by someone who thinks the difficult part of programming is the typing.

If he thinks LLMs are a threat to programmer employment, he doesn't realize the only thing programmers can't get enough of is trying to automate away their own jobs. Push out everyone who's outcompeted by a Markov chain and watch everyone who's left celebrate the reduced bug count.
HTTP/3 is already widely deployed and most clients use TCP fallback which allows people with an incompatible network to fallback to using an older HTTP version.

>since HTTP/3 is the newer and less common version, it's the version most likely to not work.

Which means those clients will end up using HTTP/2.

>I'm also uncertain about how much HTTP/3 usage there is among the big players like Google, Cloudflare, and so on

Google and Cloudflare have had it for years. Other big players have adopted it too.
So instead of naming some higher order consequences, you just assume they will happen by invoking some random analogy?
It’s compulsory renting, not selling/purchase. Either way it’s yet another ridiculous move from the left ( in this case ) that doesn’t solve anything and it’s feasible only in the minds who never had a real job outside politics.

The Consultant is similar, though one of these obsessively weird for the sake of if productions.
I’ve tried many terminal emulators, probably all available on Linux, and kitty is the best in my experience. Performance is excellent: keyboard latency, catting files. It’s sometimes convenient to use some of its tricks, such as viewing an image right in the terminal through ssh.
The EU makes a lot of noise and has a reputation for pro-consumer regulation, but that reputation is mostly historical. When it comes to new (last decade) pro-consumer regulations, they are flawed and/or not enforced enough to make a difference. Case in point, the GDPR. Lots of noise and fear-mongering, yet the (very little!) enforcement we've seen still isn't enough to actually be a deterrent. I suspect the upcoming DMA will play out in the same way.

Some people still order by calling a regular phone number, and I don‘t think forcing more centralization in the industry is a good solution.

They have only ever managed to grow lettuce with vertical farming. Produce out of farm gate is at the bottom of the supply chain. It will never be profitable unless people are willing to be 4-5x what they pay for lettuce now.

CA field grown lettuce gets the farmer less than half a dollar per head. Meanwhile: https://www.montereyherald.com/2022/12/16/11-for-a-head-of-l...

Expect price increases and food shortages this year because of rains in CA. We are not allowed to plant for 45-60 days after last rains so field can dry out.

The truth is that we do have a real food shortage situation now. The vertical farms won’t make a dent in making up the gap. Not even close.
A quick google search says the Air Force's max enlistment age is 39, so I don't know how distant in the future you mean, but it's probably something to be aware of.

I'd be curious about some documentation too, but I suspect it's one of those things where a person who enjoys the odd psychedelic now and again is a poor cultural fit for the military, though the Air Force is by all accounts the least militant branch of the military from what I can tell. Certainly my grandfather had a good career there and he was about the least disciplinarian or serious person (personality speaking I mean; he did a good job as an officer and electrical engineer by any account) you'd ever meet. He certainly spoke highly of the Air Force and said on a few occasions that it helped him to meet one of his major life goals; to make more money retired than working.
re: "undocumented". I bought whatever big oreilly book there was on it - "building XUL apps" or similar (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/creating-applications-w...) it was impossible to follow. Granted, some new-to-me concepts and such in there, but after having respected colleagues try to work through the book with me, and they also gave up, I had to conclude this was not something worth pursuing. I mean no explicit disrespect to the authors; any book is a big effort, and the publisher sometimes overrides decisions or releases something too early. In any event, I vacillate between 'what a big missed opportunity' and 'we all dodged a massive bullet there' - I still can't decide which.
I bought a Brother monochrome laser printer (with built in scanner) for £250 and it was bundled with 6 spare toner cartridges. That was two years ago, we’re still on the first cartridge. The printer before that was also a monochrome laser printer and that lasted nearly a decade (only got rid of it because it didn’t support wireless and I couldn’t be bothered running cables anymore). Basically, I think monochrome lasers can last forever, they always work (even if I haven’t printed for 6 months). Most people seem to buy printers with way too many features and they need 7 ink cartridges etc. I rarely print anything, but when I do I want it to just work.
There is the glimmer of a movement here - the Yelland led move to 15% minimum corporation tax is part of the move to solve this very problem. The EU is trying to solve this. But it's reaching the point of dealing with cross border fiscal policy and that's really hard without become a real federation.

And Inthink that is the ultimate global goal here. Which is ... science fiction

Imagine how immigration would look different if South Africa had a lien on ex-citizens taxation - if a slice of every sales tax paid in Nevada by a Mexican citizen went back to Mexico City.

I am not sure how it plays out - but it's possible that countries that benefit from immigration have to pay for it.

Algorithmic optimization is more than just about asymptotic complexity; reducing that leading coefficient is equally important. Constant time is meaningless if the constant is measured in seconds.
What, France? The poster child for the nuclear fans had to re-open coal plants?

Well, I hadn't heard that. That's interesting.

It makes sense to me because they were all clearly dependent on Russian gas, which is what caused the price spike in electricity across Europe. It still doesn't make sense to me that you think it's something to do with renewables.
