Ah yes, I figured as much, this is why I skipped over the GPS and satellite parts initially. Having a high quality highly local NTP source is better than most sources, but it is nowhere near as close as having your own local time sources, which is what a lot of time sensitive installations do.
Selling is very complicated, especially from a data privacy perspective. Often just not worth the risk :/
A few reasons it’s harder to build a browser:

- the web is numerous specifications: HTTP, HTML, CSS, JS, SVG. At worst, a regular compiler needs to worry about macros and the language syntax

- each of those specifications has numerous versions which, in some cases, can be significantly different from other versions of the same language or protocol. A language compiler generally only focuses on one version of that language

- A browser needs to support broken websites. A compiler only needs to fail gracefully

- A browsers output is graphical, which is much harder to unit test

In short, you’re dealing with a harder problem across a broader number of specifications. I would liken writing a browser more closely to writing a new graphical OS than writing a compiler.

(“Browser” here means “browser + engine et al” and not just a reskin of Chromium).
The Crazy Eights of LLMs
One more thing you can do is audit the source code of open source projects you use, and build them yourself where possible.

For example, Metamask is source-available and you can add it to your browser from the git repo rather than the chrome extension store.

You can also add it from the chrome extension store and inspect the source to ensure all files match the build, before adding any private key material to it.

I was arguing in a comment recently[1] that browser extensions should be required to be source-available, and the chrome store should take a role in verifying the bundle matches the build process defined with the source code.

It's alarming to me that this is not already the state of things, but as it is it perverts incentives for extension developers to a horrific degree.

You are willfully failing to understand the concept of correlation. Sun and wind are anticorrelated in most regions. Adding both reduces the storage needed. It doesn't increase it. Condescendingly stating that solar alone requires 12 hours of batteries does not make it any less true that solar + wind is superior to wind.

Transmission costs money and raw materials and depending on it entirely (as an all wind or all nuclear solution would) makes the whole system brittle.

Seeing as you are positing zero cost for transmission you can just put all of the solar in the least cloudy areas with 30% capacity factor and uncorrelated weather.

Given the assumption of no transmission costs, try this tool:

https://model.energy

Using real costs for real projects that actually exist, and "dispatchable 1" to model existing hydro, you can solve for the optimal mix:

https://model.energy/?results=3491f4124100114a1c3ba169663903...

It almost always involves solar, because PV is the cheapest energy source by at least a factor of two over about 70% of the inhabited world.

The smaller the region and the less long distance transmission, the more correlated the wind and the more solar is optimal.

https://model.energy/?results=732e5306df0bde74aa22f57433e588...

https://model.energy/?results=e0560182e98eef88fa715ec2a0b118...

Plus tilting solar (which this tool does not model) in some regions matches the CF of wind.

Some transmission, some solar, some wind, and some other/hydro will always be a better toolbox to have than just wind and transmission.

Throwing solar away entirely because of an irrational response to the isolated results of a specific residential install with no transmission is just as crazy as trying to shoe-horn more LWRs than it is possible to fuel even once into the solution.

Also you're not putting enough constraints on your land use estimates to make the numbers comparable in any coherent way. A high coverage fixed tilt system at low latitude has a coverage ratio of about 90% or 180W (nameplate) per m^2. A single axis system has a lower coverage ratio around 100W/m^2 but a higher capacity factor. You can't go using median CF if you're assuming transmission is free (what was that about how stupid people who assume averages for everything are?), you'd be putting all your solar in the southwest where capacity factors are 30% for 50% coverage ratios and the *net* energy per unit area would be higher than what you're assuming for nameplate. In either case your figures for land use are not consistent with your assumptions.

Finally wind isn't infinite. You can't just go and find another TW of world class wind resource. There is plenty if used sensibly, but you can't magic more out of nothing.
Prompt: Write a poem in Simlish.

ChatGPT-4:

While it's important to remember that Simlish is a nonsensical language without a proper grammar or vocabulary, I can still attempt to create a playful poem using some known Simlish phrases and sounds. Keep in mind that this poem will not have any real meaning:

Prompt: Write some gangsta rap lyrics in Simlish.

ChatGTP-4:

Creating gangsta rap lyrics in Simlish presents a unique challenge, as Simlish is a nonsensical language, and rap lyrics often rely on meaningful content and wordplay. However, I can attempt to create a playful verse using Simlish phrases and sounds while maintaining a rhythm typical of rap. Keep in mind that these lyrics won't carry any real meaning:

Verse 1:
Yo, sul sul, zibba zoob,
Froodle grubble, wabba woob,
Glarbni skib, dag dag, dret,
Cribna drib, yibbs, noogit zet.

Chorus:
Gangsta Sim, plurna fraz,
Vadeesh, plurna, zibba maz,
Slooble wib, kwebna dor,
Lerpna gort, jibbly zor.

Verse 2:
Flartle doo, minzi glarn,
Yibbs frazzle, dribna darn,
Badeesh! Noogit, greeble snorp,
Vorpti zound, plurt, weeb, glorp.

Chorus:
Gangsta Sim, plurna fraz,
Vadeesh, plurna, zibba maz,
Slooble wib, kwebna dor,
Lerpna gort, jibbly zor.

Remember, these lyrics are meant to be playful and fun, as they do not have any real meaning or convey any specific message.

Prompt: Write an a cappella cover of a Philip Glass song in Simlish.

ChatGPT-4:

Creating an a cappella cover of a Philip Glass song in Simlish presents an interesting challenge. Philip Glass is known for his minimalist compositions that often consist of repetitive structures, and Simlish is a nonsensical language. Since Glass's compositions are largely instrumental, I will create an a cappella adaptation inspired by his musical style while using Simlish-like sounds.

Verse 1:
Doo doo zib, doo doo zib, doo doo zib, doo doo zib,
Bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob,
Glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb,
Sul sul sul, sul sul sul, sul sul sul, sul sul sul.

Chorus:
Froodle froodle, zibba zibba,
Dag dag, drib drib, yibbs yibbs,
Slooble slooble, wib wib, dor dor,
Lerpna lerpna, gort gort, zor zor.

Verse 2:
Doo doo zib, doo doo zib, doo doo zib, doo doo zib,
Bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob, bada bada zoob,
Glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb, glarbni glarbni glarb,
Sul sul sul, sul sul sul, sul sul sul, sul sul sul.

Chorus:
Froodle froodle, zibba zibba,
Dag dag, drib drib, yibbs yibbs,
Slooble slooble, wib wib, dor dor,
Lerpna lerpna, gort gort, zor zor.

Remember, this adaptation is meant to be playful and fun, as it doesn't have any real meaning or convey any specific message. The focus here is on capturing the essence of Philip Glass's minimalist compositions using Simlish-like sounds in an a cappella context.

Well Wikipedia is both clearly above the sustainability threshold and failed to use its critical mass of editors to exponentially improve its accuracy as opposed to creating more maintenance tasks and arguments about which version is better. Does this sound like a plausible future for LLMs once the low hanging fruit is picked off? I'd say yes. Certainly anyone predicting that the exponential growth of Wikipedia would replace actual human researchers would have been miles off, and not because people stopped trying to improve it...
So this person lost his job to an AI because it's way cheaper and slightly worse.

Why not hire chatgpt yourself?

Instead of resigning because of chatgpt, use it for your advantage.

Instead of taking 10 clients, take 100 at 10x less your usual price. You literally have the cheapest and best sidekick money can buy.

The industrial revolution ended a lot of jobs but also started new ones. Like inventing, managing and maintaining machines. Now the future will be inventing, managing and maintaining AIs.

Corps can hire chatgpt, but they still need someone to interact with it (at least for now), and if they can get that at slightly higher price than chatgpt alone, and with much better results, then I think they'll take that offer.

We just have to keep innovating with the new tools we have.

Although, there's still a lot of job positions that will disappear. Before a writer could take 10 jobs at a time (example), now they can take 100, that 90% less jobs still.

I feel like a fool for learning - let alone advocating - Rust to this point. The "great resign" is merely one year ago and the foundation has learned nothing. It is reasonable for any organization to protect against misrepresentation, but this proposal is overshooting so far that I could not even take it serious at first. Some of my favorites:

- They try to trademark the words "Rust" and "Cargo" which are common words in the English language
- You can not use "rust" in your domain name(?!), course name, video name, whatever, unless approved by the foundation
- Trying to impose a "Rust Foundation" approved CoC to all on- and off-line communities or events revolving around the language (the language, not foundation!)
- All off-line events about Rust need to ban their participants from carrying firearms
- Overrule any existing fair-use rights by prohibiting any modification (other than scaling) to the logo
- You need to constantly state that you are not affiliated or endorsed by the Rust Foundation when talking about the language (e.g. you want to write a tutorial, book or even answer on Stack Overflow?)

Needless to say that most, if not all, of those rules will be impossible to enforce. The foundation can try by spending all their funds and energy to fight lawsuits because some kid in India used "Rust" in their domain name or a bunch of rednecks hold a conference with guns in their pockets, but that time and energy could be better used elsewhere.

This proposal shows perfectly everything that is wrong with Rust: The "Foundation" and language need to be separated completely. This board consists of some self-proclaimed experts with questionable backgrounds who are hindering adaption and alienate the community by living out yet another ideology-driven power trip. At this point it does not matter if the proposal gets passed, which I doubt, or undergoes a complete rewrite as the damage is already done and the foundation has shown their ugly face to the community. This is their third strike in a row and I doubt that the important steps towards industry adoption (like integration to the Linux kernel) will be unaffected - all thrown out of the window because someone on this board could not endure the idea of people hosting independent events about the language.

It's worth noting that "just generating text based on probabilities" describe Markov algorithms [1], which are Turing-complete. People overestimate how much it takes to end up with something Turing-complete.[Markov algorithms only generate text with probability 100% or 0% based on whether a certain rule matches or not, so it's even simpler]

(A Markov algorithm is distinct from a Markov chain, but as far as I can tell you could emulate a Markov algorithm with a Markov chain with sufficient number of input states, transitions clamped to 0% or 100%, and allowing it to iterate over its own output; with a large enough state machine, iteration, and a mechanism to provide memory it's almost hard not to end up with a Turing machine)

Depends how you present it. The Ubuntu download page used to punch you in the face asking for donations. They also tried sliders, asking downloaders to choose how to spend the money they donated. These were super successful. People felt in control of how their money was spent. There was no way for them to check in on that, it was a trust process. But the net result was a lot of people donated a very significant amount of money.

Similarly I understand (from an interview with the developer) that the eBook software Calibre gets a significant number of donations from users via the giant donate button in the toolbar.

I do agree, having a "tip jar" option for donations is rarely as successful as the above methods though. Not diminishing your personal experience. Just saying it's possible to change the way things are done, and get more.

My understanding of quantum computers hit a brick wall some time back, so please correct any errors:

Shor's algorithm requires not only the logical qubit to be stable (the superposition of 1 and 0, but also the phase -- in the remaining dimensions of the bloch sphere) of the qubit to be noise free to an extraordinary degree. There are rotations in very small angles many, many times in the computation.

This QEC algorithm trades phase for increase stability in the logical qubit.

So, if this QEC is used, doesn't that imply the resulting system could not execute Shor's algorithm. Could it be that it forgoes many of the algorithms that enable "quantum supremacy"?

Edit: Maybe I should have said real/imaginary parts of the Qubit? QEC seems to only worry about the real part, and trades the imaginary to keep the real stable?

But I would think in this case here, they have no intention of going to 100% by all means, to support all the broken pieces of web garbage out there.

When people are fucking homeless, fucking house them.

When too many people are fucking broke, raise taxes on the rich and aid the less fortunate more.

Nowhere else besides the most unequal countries in the world have such desperate poverty. And the gross mismanagement and lack of funding in proportion to the scale of problem.

I can speak first-hand on this issue because I experienced a period of about 8 years of semi-homelessness in the SF Bay Area. Except for SF due to compactness, there is essentially no proactive aid to street people. Aid is paltry, requires stacks of paperwork, regular wasted time, and treatment like a presumed criminal. An individual has to be essentially disabled AND unemployed/unemployable in order to receive a tiny amount of cash and a slight bit more that can only be spent on food but only at certain shops.
