To add to this, the fact that AI tools are black boxes that not even the creators can fully understand. This leads to a "trust us" mentality where actual answers about why something is can never actually be answered.
American cities are more violent, yes. But it doesn't make a lot of sense to pin that on San Francisco politicians, which usually seems to be the endgame with these warnings about how dangerous it is.
SF's population declined between 1950 and 1980, and it's homicide rate between roughly 1970 and the mid-1990s was up to 2 or 3 times what it is now.
Why would we ignore it? The purpose of fear is so we do give it more consideration and don’t charge ahead.
I go into this in the article :) the rustler team has a made a DirtyNif that can work around that, or you can manually yield if you'd like.

I wonder if you would hold that stance if they put out a sign that said "no blacks/gays/whites/whatever."
Wouldn't worry; reversing ageing implies the elderly won't need a safety net, and we'll all have longer to start families. Who knows, perhaps the second part will increase fertility rates back up to replacement levels…

And that's ignoring any of the economic transformation that AI will bring even without any genuinely novel breakthroughs.
Nice video on the link!

I like how those "1-G challenges" were solved.
Unsafe was 80's-90's Compton crack gang wars with machine gun drive-bys.

Unsafe is the current Baltimore or south side of Chicago.

It's true I'm glad they are giving it another shot. By the way, by far the most insightful one I found was https://generative.ink/posts/simulators/ but I will definitely read the 'what kind of mind' article when it's available.
>so that the poor who can't afford panels aren't subsidizing the rich who get inflated rates for their generation.

Perhaps we should quantify this subsidy, before we get up in arms about it. California gets around 14% of its electricity from solar [1]. The average electric bill is $2500 per year [2]. That's around $30 per month, total, for all solar. Of that, most of the solar is probably from farms, most poor people probably use less electricity than average, and wholesale electricity prices are not zero anyway. So you're probably looking at the single digits per month.

There are better places to look for ways to help California's worst off.

Things are more complicated than you might necessarily expect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_rights_in_Iran

(It's not just Iran; a number of countries, often extremely conservative countries, have _some_ form of cultural recognition of non-gender-normative people. Hijira in India would be a more complex example.)

Really? That's clear to you? How much coverage did they give to the Hunter Biden laptop? How about the Twitter Files? How about Biden's senility?

Yemen is a very poor & muddled example. You have Iran & Saudi mixed up there.

> Isn't today's situation the utility paying a retail rate for something with a much lower wholesale replacement cost?

Indeed, the utility will be making less profit. But the wholesale replacement cost is based on a market that the consumer doesn't have access to, they can only buy 'retail' so allowing them to sell their excess power back to the grid at that same price makes good sense.

> That doesn't seem like a wash to me.

From the POV of the electricity company it obviously isn't, which is why this was a politically imposed rule. But the power companies have a lot of lobbying power and that is why this is changed, not because it is good for the environment or 'more fair'. It's simply a matter of more money for the utilities.

> I'm not a big fan of "a battery in every garage" but I would much rather see subsidies of planned large-scale green power generation vs a shotgun of individual solar installs.

I actually am a huge fan of individual solar installs: it forces people to focus on their own consumption and their own habits rather than to see everything in terms of a couple of numbers. Once you realize how much you have to invest in order to generate a KWh you will most likely be more careful about how you use that, and conservation, not generation and definitely not storage has the biggest positive effect on the environment.
Er.... Just ask gpt4 to how to do it obviously.
Thank you! That looks great.
I don’t think it was a democrat or republican that was responsible for the murder of Bob Lee, which is the context here. And with it the right wing media who used it as another bullet in their non-stop culture wars and fear mongering for votes.

If you’re asking why is it that SF has the problems it does, well that’s very complicated. WWII imports of African-Americans to build ships soon out of jobs, various displaced groups by the booms and busts, vast social benefits that attract homeless as most other places lack it, supportive liberal policies that nurture it, one party rule that goes uncontested, homeless-industrial complex that pisses away money without any consequences, growing income inequality in one of the most expensive places in the world, liberal population who want to help versus hurt/jail/eliminate the vulnerable, street drugs that have become more and more lethal and addictive over time, laissez faire attitudes about drug consumption and sales, warm weather, population that enables panhandling, other states that buy one way bus tickets for their homeless, CA laws that basically prevent people from going to prison for many non-violent crimes, etc etc.
CA’s retail electricity prices are so completely disconnected from actual costs that trying to choose a notionally correct price for selling to the grid seems impossible.

Look, you can literally order your rate schedule off a menu!

https://www.pge.com/tariffs/index.page

Of course, supplying you costs the same amount regardless of which appetizer or entree you order. The times of day that are cheapest and the times of day that are the lowest-carbon for the grid have nothing to do with which time of use tariff you happen to get billed.

Here’s E-6, a common residential schedule, and you can look at the utterly insane 53 cent/kWh top rate and its unbundling:

https://www.pge.com/tariffs/assets/pdf/tariffbook/ELEC_SCHED...

So that’s 27 cents for peak summer generation. Surely, if you sell PG&E a kWh during peak time, they can avoid buying a peak 27 cents of power, which IMO they should pay you for. (Or they should *stop pretending it costs 27 cents to buy this power in the first place!)

I will grant that PG&E still has to pay to distribute the power you sell them. Fine, although their distribution rates are still nuts. They must be taking a page from AWS’s playbook here. Maybe they shouldn’t pay you that whole amount when you sell them power.

Oh, and it apparently only costs PG&E to generate 27 cents to generate that peak summer kWh for agricultural users. Go figure. And all these numbers are 5-10x the LCoE of basically any type of new generation.

edit: Santa Clara sells power for about 14 cents/kWh, all in, for residential users:

https://www.siliconvalleypower.com/home/showpublisheddocumen...

I do not believe for a second that Santa Clara can buy and distribute power for half the claimed amount that PG&E pays just to generate it.
Rust doesn't have a lot of good runtime introspection tools (or they're very not obvious). If you're running a system with a lot of concurrency, it's nice to be able to attach a debugger and find out exactly what's going on with each of your tasks.

I haven't seen hot loading for Rust (but a quick search shows there's some out there), and I'm not sure how amenable Rust is to dlopen and friends to force the issue.

Erlang (and Elixir) have a constrained language that allows for BEAM to be effectively premptive in a way that a Rust concurrent runtime can't be. At every function call, BEAM checks if the process should be preempted, and because the only way to loop is recursion, a process must call a function in a finite amount of time. A Rust runtime cannot preempt, if you need preemption, you've got to use OS threads, which limits capacity, or you need to accept cooperative task switching.

Also, some of us are as anti-typing as you are pro-typing. :)
The primary argument was that it makes it a voluntary decision for them ("opt back in"), because they'd have the opportunity. It doesn't mention that those are necessarily great opportunities, but we usually consider having opportunities better than not having them.

If you're unemployed and you get an offer a week, you're better off than if you didn't get any offers, even if those offers aren't great. Options > no options.
That remains a massive discrepancy.
In the US, men still don't have the right to wear miniskirts.

The `Monad` instance for `Maybe` and `Either` is precisely for doing sequential computation!

Consider the following:

myBigSubroutine :: Maybe Int -> Maybe Int -> Maybe Bool
myBigSubroutine ma mb = do
a <- ma
b <- mb
return (a > b)

Here we are sequencing the "effect" of optionality. `ma` must be evaluated before `mb` and if it returns a `Nothing` then we short circuit and do not evaluate `mb`.
I don't know what it will look like, but remember that the job of a "coder" is not to "write code" but to solve business problems.

The programming profession has always demanded that developers operate at higher and higher levels of abstraction and produce more/bigger/faster. I expect LLMs to continue that trend - a tool to get more done at a bigger scale.
You'd need some kind of authentication as well.

I don't think it is some big "Washington and the buddies" conspiracy theory, but something much simpler.

Fearmongering and doomer attitudes drive clicks for news publishers. Clicks drive money. Money drives their growth and influence. Which, in turn, drives more clicks.

And guess who is thrashing around in their desperate attempts to stop bleeding influence and money in the internet age? Traditional news media.

Not that difficult to see some clear examples of that either, like the recent bills in some countries trying to extort FB and Google to pay money for every news article shared on their platforms (for google it was in the form of the preview snippets, for fb it was in the form of users sharing links iirc).

I like this question a lot. I'd say the answer is that submarines swim quite well, with good speed, amazing range of depth, and excellent directional stability. They are, however, poor swimmers when it comes to agility (quick changes in speed or direction).

The label "swimming" or "mind" is just a label, what matters is how things compare along any metric we can evaluate.

Land use also matters - these roof right now are a waste of space and energy because there’s nothing on them doing anything useful except heating up in the summer, requiring more AC and various materials to try and keep them cooler. Using this unused space for energy generation is better than not using this space and transforming spaces that could otherwise be dedicated to nature or food production.

Ubiquitous everyone carries a smartphone mobility that isn't plugged into centralized information sources should perhaps, in retrospect, been predictable in 1993 but I don't think it was obvious. It certainly wasn't 10 years earlier to the vast majority of people other than as a hand wavy Foundation-style Galactic Library (which tended to be the SF-type prediction).

Also, don't take what I wrote to be "No one could have predicted this" but rather someone teleported in time would be just amazed about these aspects of ubiquitous information retrieval.

What if machine intelligence doesn’t look like human intelligence? Say it looks like insect intelligence? Will we be able to recognize it? To what extent is our intelligence a consequence of our bodies, evolution? Would a computer have intuition? Fight or flight responses? As a species, we're still debating which mammals are "intelligent" and they share most of our circuitry and evolutionary history.
No, the most helpful thing for the environment is to deploy solar anywhere it will fit as fast as we possibly can until CO2 emissions from electricity are driven to 0.

For the last decade, deployment of rooftop solar has chugged along at a steady pace while utility-scale solar projects have been bogged down by red tape and disinformation campaigns. So rooftops have been and will likely remain the fastest deployment target.

The planet was already out of time for perfect solutions at the turn of this century. Now is the time for pragmatism.
Laughable peanuts. What's the realistic burden of raising a child from 0 to 22 years in a developed country (including college)? $300-500k last I checked, possibly even more.

Agreed. I do have that, but I also want to use the same keyboard with Mac, Linux, Windows. So far I've been switching keyboard configurations on the keyboard every time I use a different OS, but I'd like to move that to the OS so that it's automatic.

Sorry to be offtopic, but I've been using Pulumi at work for the past 6 months and I'm really not impressed. It's basically just Terraform but worse, with a million ways to declare your infrastructure instead of just one. Infrastructure people tend not to write the best code and from my observation the extra freedom of an imperative language just makes stuff even more complex and harder to maintain. It's also much harder to automate than Terraform, I am not aware of any equivalent to Atlantis.

Also, Pulumi previews (equivalent to plans) are complete bullshit. If you don't write your code carefully, resources can be created and removed and you won't know it's going to happen until you start applying... it's an engineer's worst nightmare when a tool lies.
For that the app must be in foreground. How does WhatsApp manage to be always on the foreground? My app always gets killed by Android.

This is true, but with electric cars becoming more and more widespread local generation is having a measurable impact on daytime generation. It also offloads the grid because every KWh generated locally and consumed relatively locally doesn't need long haul transmission, as opposed to 'large installations'.
