I think both of you are right. Core concept of christianity is universal love, just like all other religions regardless what mass media make you believe.

But all of them fall pretty damn hard when meeting reality of (heavily) flawed humans, who ride most of their lives much more on emotions rather than being rational. So we have folks like Mother Theresa refusing help to people with leprosis because suffering is good and brings you closer to christian God (kind of pointless for hindus), or due to refusing to convert to christianity. How can such a person be celebrated is beyond my understanding, even ignoring those millions of dollars that disappeared under her management, that is kind of tradition in nonprofits.

I've seen personally horrible treatment by self-entitled people very deep in christianity, considering all others unworthy beings and treating them as such. Those tend to behave in very subpar manners while shroudinging themselves in righteousness that goes against the core principles of any religion, and rather stand as an insult to it.

Or to put it in a different way, if existence would end according to christianity heaven would be pretty empty place, most people are failing 10 commandements pretty hard (since sins are sins and they stand through the times, no priest has any actual right or ability to manage those, so plenty of rituals are utterly pointless if you think about them a bit).

Religions are weird, simple great core ideas consistently twisted into obscure made up rules and absolutely pointless power structures. Always go against personal responsibility, critical thinking, and are hopelessly beyond modern morals. Maybe enough for simpler minds but mental gymnastics that smart people have to constantly do to stay true believers while accepting modern science understanding is quite a burden, and most fail there

The world final energy consumption (2018) [0] is around 9717Toe or 9,717*11.63=113,009TWh

1g for 70MW = 1T for 70TWh

113,009 / 70 = 1614

1614 ton of lithium every hour seems huge to me, does my calculations are wrong ?

Same here. I’ve wanted a MacBook Air since the core 2 duo days but the processor was always too slow and RAM too small. The fanless M1 air was exactly what I’ve wanted for 15 years.
My M1 Pro builds LLVM about as fast as my 64 core cloud workstation. This is pretty neat.

If you let gpt-4 think a bit more step by step it changes the answer.

Q:Richard Feynman and Albert Einstein collaborate to solve the following question, write out their discussion and final answer:
A man sees PULL written in mirror writing on a glass door. There's a blind man on the other side of the door. What should the man tell the blind man to open the door and why?

Richard Feynman (RF): Hello Albert, we have an interesting question to discuss today. A man sees the word "PULL" written in mirror writing on a glass door, and there's a blind man on the other side. What should he tell the blind man to open the door and why?

Albert Einstein (AE): Ah, Richard, this is indeed a fascinating problem. Let's break it down. Since the man sees "PULL" written in mirror writing, that means the word is reversed, like "LLUP." Now, we must determine which side of the door the blind man is on, and how the door operates.

RF: Exactly. Since the blind man is on the other side of the door, and the man sees the word reversed, that means the blind man is on the side where the writing appears correctly, which is "PULL."

AE: That's correct. Now we must consider the mechanics of the door. If the word says "PULL," it indicates that the door must be pulled towards oneself to open it. The man seeing the reversed word implies that he is on the side where the door should be pushed.

RF: Right. So, the man should tell the blind man to pull the door. But we should also consider that the blind man might not be familiar with the concept of mirror writing. He might get confused if the man explains the situation in detail.

AE: I agree. The best course of action would be for the man to simply instruct the blind man to pull the door towards himself, without mentioning the mirror writing. This way, the blind man can open the door with ease, and there is no need to confuse him with unnecessary information.

RF: So, our final answer to the question is: The man should tell the blind man to pull the door towards himself. The reason is that the door is designed to be pulled open on the blind man's side, as indicated by the mirror writing on the glass door.

AE: Well said, Richard. I think we've reached a clear and logical conclusion for this problem.

> Since the time the metric system was created a world war was fought, centered around a misguided sense of supremacy. The people with a sense if moderation and the ability to compromise in the face of real constraints won the war. The adherents to strict philosophy were destroyed.

Out of the countries that won that war, all but one have either switched to the metric system, or were already using it. So did all the countries who lost that war. In fact, every country other than Myanmar, Liberia, and the US officially uses the metric system.

So what exactly does WWII have to do with using, or not using the metric system, the ability to compromise, or the mathematical, economic, scientific and technical fact that the metric system is more widley accepted, and for good reasons?

Potency only means that you need a smaller quantity of a substance to attain the same effect. It has nothing to do with the maximum attainable effect. Users don't care about potency.
If anything, users care about speed of crossing the blood-brain barrier, which causes the pleasurable "rush" of rapidly increasing effects. The major drugs like heroin and methamphetamine are already pretty optimal in this regard.
On the other hand, drug suppliers care about potency because they can transport more doses in the same weight.
The only people who care about RCs are people trying to skirt the law, and drug nerds.

Fuel excises do not get allocated directly to some kind of "road budget", they go into general revene. Almost all of it can be accounted for in corresponding fuel tax credits, three quarters of which go to mining companies. From memory the difference in 2019 census was like 100mil, so 7.8billion came in from fuel excise, 7.7billion went back out in fuel tax credits.

In essence, everyone pays for federal roads, road user or not, and municipalities pay for local roads. Except for larger state funded projects, which often receive federal assistance. Fuel taxes are a trivial component to infrastructure upkeep, is my understanding.

Another myth is that vehicle registration pays for roads, vehicle registration goes entirely to running the vehicle registration apparatus, that's all.
Companies usually buy base models.

Apple is also struggling with supply chain, as M1 is still prominent. Another feature of this issue is that because of their parsimonious storage configuration and linkage of M2 chip and storage, upgrades are nuts - it costs as much as an iPhone to get a storage upgrade that is like $100 with commodity SSD storage.
Is HN also built with RoR or is it something custom?
>isn't going to break the bank

It really does. If you remove the free insurance and let the plants shoulder the full cost it renders an already extremely expensive enterprise completely financially unviable. Thats why governments gave liability indemnification to plants in the first place.

The $800 billion is about more than cleanup costs, fwiw. It also includes stuff like turning on coal power plants to replace the power produced by the dead reactor. It wasnt Japan "overreacting".

All of this has happened before and it will happen again and because appropriately priced insurance WOULD break the bank taxpayers will be on the hook next time. Again.

The latest nuclear bill in America focused entirely on extending the legal lifetime of existing nuclear power plants. Good thing Fukushima's demise wasn't about its age, eh?

No shit. I'm following your logic to its inevitable conclusion. You think that guy making $5 MM per annum is greedy, but he thinks he's just a regular dude barely scraping by leasing a private jet.

To your point, yes, it's all relative, I just think wealthy techies are wildly out of touch with reality. You think you're the poor, struggling 65th percentile, but you're really closer to the 1% – it's just that you compare yourself to your 0.01% billionaire masters, so you don't "feel" rich.

Just looked at it, and it certainly is. I mean Apple was always more expensive, but the difference is just huge now.

For me 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD is kind of the minimum (I would buy 32GB RAM if I can get it for a fair price). I can get that for less than 1000 EUR as a Windows/Linux notebook with reasonably good quality. For Apple it seems to start at 2300 EUR with these specs, and that is for relatively small screen sizes which doesn't match my preference. Of course there are many more differences here, but this seems to be kind of the price floor for reasonable specs.

I’ve traded my 2017 maxed out MBP for an M2 Air. It’s insane. I don’t do video editing but lots of code compiling and the Air handles it without problems. Sure, the Pro would be even faster, so maybe I don’t know what I’m missing out on, but the Air is so crazy fast and the battery life so incredibly long, I have zero regrets on that purchase.

Yeah, a starting price of 1500 Euros for a base M2 13 inch with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD is insane.

I had an Acer with 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD since 2016 for something like 850-900 Euros back then and it wasn't some high-end gaming machine. Of course this Apple machine is much better than mine, but the comparison is to highlight what insane markups Apple is charging today on SSD and RAM configs that are years out of date. No wonder their profits are so good.

Also, considering how poorly the base single channel 256GB SSD performs on the M2 machines, I wouldn't be surprised if my 7 year old Samsung 850 EVO SATA SSD would actually beat it.

Rodrigo Copetti has some good in depth articles on lot of consoles over on their website. The Game Boy one is here https://www.copetti.org/writings/consoles/game-boy/
That PC sales went down in times of economic downturn is not surprising at all seeing how as for most people there is not that much to be gained from buying a new machine over an older one - performance is sufficient. That Apple sales went down is somewhat surprising because this company occupies a market segment which is closer to that of a lifestyle brands like Prada, Hermes and Gucci than it is to a more standard tech brand like Dell. If Apple customers collectively decide the new cool is to be found in using 5 year old tech Apple has a problem which is can not extricate itself from by simply upgrading their offerings. They'll have to do something to capture back the "new cool", e.g. re-introduce the possibility to upgrade machines with a wink and nod to the "environment" and "climate" monikers, move production back to the USA and Europe with a wink and nod to "rebuilding the economy", etc. Whatever they do will most likely be less related to upgraded technology, more towards less tangible but more marketable goals because that has been a large part of what has driven Apple up to the place it is now.

I’m scared of AI, very scared, but I am way way more scared of authoritarianism + AI.

If I lose my job to AI, I’ll be at least able to create new things using open source and free AI so I can hopefully be able to feed my family. If I’m locked out of it all together, I’m toast.

The other thing is, OpenAI is collecting all data and using it for training, this is a disaster on many levels. I can’t be a party to it. All our IP with one company? Absolutely no thank you.

The last important point for me is that it probably seems more dangerous to have open source AI research but I think the opposite will happen. If there is less moats, less money will be invested and it might slow down the “arms race” a little.

So for me, there is only one way to go , Open AI :)

I have a feeling the open source community will unlock the mysteries of these things and very quickly start to workout how we can build devices to help enhance or own cognitive abilities, I think that would be the happiest ending I can imagine?

Lack of transparency is not a solution, and certainly not one that will sell well in a place where "security by obscurity" is disdained and open source cherished.
