Of course I mean figuratively. Humans don’t have a rumen, so our capability of extracting energy from vegetables is much more limited, basically we need starch (grains or tubers). These animals can feed on grass where these nitrogen-intensive crops won’t grow without fertilizers.
I must be really out of touch, because I cannot imagine how this is a billion dollar business.
Worth reminding that the IPCC stance is not apocalyptic, in contrast to what you seem to suggest.

Rich countries are scarcely getting back around to upscaling nuclear themselves, much less subsidizing it in others. One advantage the developing countries have is they don't have the baggage of existing extensive infrastructure for electricity, and some renewables can be deployed in a more decentralized fashion (i.e. solar). I believe this is currently happening in India in limited fashion.

Add to the fact, renewable tech, and mitigating tech like carbon capture, is very much subsidized in the West. The necessary shift from the private sector is going to cost trillions; it's happening already, but not overnight, and the angsty projection against barons and the wealthy class won't make it go any faster. I mean, they needed to hear the message, but there's no reason to believe it isn't loud and clear at this point.

Yes, I agree. In many places, this is the case - but not in the US.
> I'd figure out a way to get `sz` on to a host and exfiltrate data to my heart's content with ZMODEM like we did back in the day.

Probably as easy as `cat > sz` and then paste it over the wire? Maybe run through base64 first. Although actually depending on the situation you might be able to just do that directly and not bother with this? Like just as a super simple non-scientific test:

$ ssh someserver cat /bin/ls > ./test-ls
$ ssh someserver md5sum /bin/ls ; md5sum ./test-ls
b3535289b2932e25650074aa6d89bf3c /bin/ls
b3535289b2932e25650074aa6d89bf3c ./test-ls

That looks to work.
This is another company I have always felt is going to implode one day. They don't do anything that interesting let alone proprietary. The CEO is an ass and everyone knows it, he acts as if in an in-browser repl is going to change the world. I have no idea how their valuation is so lofty but the core tech is easily duplicated since a lot of the heavy lifting they used to do has become obsolete.
To be clear, I find the conditions you're describing to be abhorrent and an unacceptable norm, and I've argued elsewhere in this thread to that end.

But real free-range farms actually exist, and are not someone's "hypothetical uncle's house". The products of these farms are available in stores, and purchasing them does not contribute to the abuse of animals in factory farms.

To claim otherwise cannot be justified by an examination of facts/reality, and is to claim that I didn't eat dinner last Thursday. This is not to say that sourcing food this way is easy, and it's certainly not cheap.

> the act of paying others to abuse birds in farms, which is where every single person reading this is getting either the vast majority or all of their bird flesh.

The point with all of this is that there is a nuanced conversation to be had. Oversimplified binary reductions do not represent reality nor are they a useful point from which to have a conversation about how to improve the status quo. Issuing blanket statements like the one quoted above can only create a wedge between your position and those who you'd arguably like to reach with it. I happen to agree with you re: the horrors of unhappy hens, but you're also directly contradicting my lived experience.
Well, certainly a lot of people running older software have had the joy of their disk size being larger than the software can handle. There's plenty of software that expects the disk size in bytes to fit into an signed or unsigned 32-bit int.

I also don't know about data transfer rates but if you want to emulate the really old stuff in DOSBox, you'll need to carefully examine pages like https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Performance because there are plenty of games that do a divide-by-zero crash when they're trying to time the CPU for running at the desired speed.

Come on, I know what RPGs are.

This isn't about role-playing games, it's about the specific term and act of role-playing-- and kids barely out of diapers describing it as such. It used to be the domain of therapists, then pedophiles.

My point was that they were way too young to know what D&D even was, and is a product marketed to boys (up until 5E anyway). Mine were still playing with dolls at the time.
Well,I'm going to send them a subject access request every thirty days for life. I suggest everyone else do the same, and make this expensive.

I'm angry enough about this to be out for blood now. This is absurd.
I think there's an analogy here to GRE scores and other standardized tests. With GRE scores you can predict someone's GPA, but you can't necessarily predict their success at doing original research. That's because success as a researcher depends on personality traits that are hard to measure like creativity, independence, self-discipline, perseverance, and passion about a subject.

Programming puzzles are the equivalent of the GRE for programming jobs. It might tell you something about the candidate, but I'm skeptical that it measures the most important traits and skills that really good programmers have. It's an empirical question, but your skill at solving programming puzzles might not predict your ability to systematically break down large problems, write readable, robust, well-documented code, or design and debug complex systems.

I also have my own theory about this which might just be my own personal bias. I feel like standardized tests encourage conformity in thinking. By relying on standardized tests, you are selecting for individuals who are primarily motivated by external measures of success and approval. On the flip side, you are selecting against individuals who are intrinsically motivated to learn and build things, but who may not care about those external factors. My theory is that organizations with too much of the former and too little of the latter are going to have issues with groupthink and will be less likely to be innovative.

This isn’t what @onion2k was talking about, so straw man, no?

You’re also talking in platitudes. Having a passion for what you do isn’t a recipe for good business, and isn’t necessary. It might be great for you, if you want. But people with actual experience have learned this repeatedly.
This is surely a gross oversimplification of what's happening. If you see layoffs.fyi, there are a lot of rows with more than 5% fired or where the numbers are in several hundreds to thousands.

While some companies are known to regularly use the tactics you mention (and a lot others also do the same from time to time), they don't use mass firing as a means.
I don't get the notion hype, I just don't like it.

Even worse, is you go on product hunt and there are nonstop 'product' launches which are just notion templates named 'operating systems' being sold at crazy prices for what they are.

I don't get what I am missing. I personally love and use Trello, because it's basically just a bunch of lists that I can drag and drop too, i have a boards named 'spark board, where i keep lists of things I am interested in, it's a list of movies, tv shows, games to play, things to eat, things i might want to buy, even lists for different people and things they mentioned so i have gifts for them when it comes time to buy, whenever i need anything I just go there, search the list and find something, but notion is just annoying to me, I hate the UI and i don't see the point in it.
> I wouldn’t want to be operating the drill that punctures the magma chambers!

Even if that happens, I wonder if the hole would be so deep, that the magma cools and solidifies in the borehole before it reaches the surface. Similar to how pristine sub-glacial Antarctic lakes are sampled by drilling straight into them (!) and letting the water flow up into the hole, where it freezes.

>Cities have fallen to disasters throughout history (easy example is Pompeii). Cultures vanish. The only reason anyone's still around to talk about it is because natural disasters, wars, and human errors have largely been localized. Climate change won't be.

The "Bronze Age Collapse"[0] wasn't global, but it certainly wasn't "localized" in the sense that (I think) you're using it.

Yes, I'm picking a nit there. That said, you're otherwise spot on.

Glad I wasn't the only one confused by this.
The question that always needs to be asked (and ideally should have a section in the readme): What are the limits to what prompt injection can do with this?

- Does the app support embedded LLM-generated links/images (either through HTML or Markdown)?

- Is there any long-term reading history being stored (even locally) that the LLM has access to and that could be included in an exfiltration attack?

- Are there plans to offer external hosting with user accounts, and if so, see above question about image/link support again.

With any LLM tool like this, the answer to "is it vulnerable to prompt injection" is "yes", so the actual question is "how much is the app doing, how bad would prompt injection be?"

In this case, from what I can tell, it's just a self-hosted summary tool, so prompt injection would be limited to a website getting the LLM to generate inaccurate summaries. It doesn't look like the LLM has the ability to insert links/images, but I haven't tested in more detail to make sure. So threat seems minimal?

But I really encourage projects like this to add sections to their README files spelling that out more explicitly. We need to get better as a community at making sure that people understand that prompt injection is a factor that needs to be considered for every single LLM-based project.
Antibiotic overuse is shockingly common in a lot of countries. A company I worked for had a lot of remote offices around the world that I interacted with over video. Whenever I had allergies or a runny nose, I'd get a lot of people asking me why I'm not taking antibiotics. They'd recommend different types of antibiotics that they thought "cured" their last cold.

There are many countries where pharmacies don't require prescriptions for common drugs. People can stop by the pharmacy and grab some antibiotics whenever they feel like taking some.

The United States isn't totally immune. Many people go to the doctor at the first signs of a cold and demand antibiotics. Most doctors will refuse, but some of them start writing prescriptions so the patients will go away and leave a good review. Anecdotally, online local parenting groups always seem to have some group of people swapping tips about which doctors will prescribe antibiotics so they can go get the drugs they want. There are also the people who order fish antibiotics and take it themselves, too.

Antibiotic resistance is only part of the problem. Unnecessarily destroying gut bacteria is not great. Getting C. Diff. Colitis is not fun.

A paper would tell one the thing passed peer review, and also let us look for papers publishing rebuttals. If it sank without a trace in the refereed literature, that's a screaming red flag.

I am very dubious the idea is correct. If objects at large distances from the galaxy center have these large relative velocities induced by external objects they wouldn't be bound to the galaxy.

*put perform = outperform
One of the laziest submissions of open questions. Most have completely uninteresting well known answers:

* Obesity: We are eating more. We are eating higher calorie foods. We are also eating more sugar. The days of cooking raw foods in the home are few, and when we do, we do so by cooking with pre-prepared items that tend to have high caloric intake without many of the previous dietary benefits.

Most families are down to one non-starchy vegetable a day, arguing that the tiny amount of pasta sauce counts as a vegetable as it contains tomatoes, ignoring the added sugar. To fix this, people are willing to sell us a never ending stream of services and advice, where the most effective advice is deemed uninteresting compared to the attention grabbing advice.

Our health industry has spawned a wellness industry, where we are being told that blending our fruits and vegetables (releasing more sugar) need to be sweetened with honey (more sugar) as it is more healthy than table sugar. Here is a clue, just don't blend the stuff and eat it; but, that would hardly spawn an industry.

- Alcohol: Yes, there have been numerous studies that moderate wine drinking can have health benefits. The main issue is that drinking in the USA probably involves at a minimum more alcohol than would qualify as healthy, and it is a relative health benefit that can easily be cancelled by too much ethanol.

Here's a hint, food is a mixture. Drinking gin-and-tonics might also prevent malaria, a health benefit, but give you cirrhosis of the liver, a health hazard. Mixtures do that.

- Boogers: Any biology student knows that they are primarily comprised of sugars, and are a mixture of sugar, whatever else is in the nose, and water. Why do they come in so many varieties? Sugar is flexible, making up trees, sugar glass, sugar for your coffee, and much, much more. No news here.

- Jeanne Calment: Most people believe she took over the identity of a relative to avoid inheritance tax. The French government refuses to entertain this idea, as they prefer to have a national icon. This is well covered in the article, but in a fit of "let's disregard the contradicting ideas" is summarily dismissed with "the fraud theory seems highly unlikely to explain the Calment anomaly" because, they're already believing Clament is an anomaly and thus cannot believe she isn't.

Oddly enough the Clament story is just like the other items in the list. If you start from a position of believing something is unusual, you have to assume that any bland explanation must fail because it wouldn't make it an unusual item.
.NET is ok, but the classes you make serializable generally aren't how you'd write a normal class, which is what I mean by "ergonomic." As far as I know, you need your fields to be public for both reads and writes, and you need to write a separate constructor if you want to create the types programmatically. Go lets you serialize objects more-or-less how you'd write them without serialization, as does Kotlin.

Define “easily”.

Seriously, if you ever dealt with land in your life, you would know agriculture is anything but “easy”. It only exists in today’s shape and form thanks to fossil fuels, massive government incentives and cost externalities.
> But the whole point of the "cute solution" is to solve with O(1) memory; if you're willing to allow O(n) then the linked list also admits more sane solutions.

Yeah but the "parallel BFS" solution is actually slower. Overall people sacrifice memory for speed in these algorithm problems.

Additionally the input is already O(N) so if you count the input as memory the addition of O(2N) doesn't shift it. If you don't count it well you're deliberately removing real world actuality and making the problem harder.

>I'm not sure what you mean by comparing "layers" of traversal. Tortoise and hare is about provide a termination condition in the case that a cycle exists. In the case that there's no cycle, every algorithm must inspect each node, so is O(n). In both the linked list and the DAG case, if there is at least one cycle, (a) both pointers will enter it in at most O(n) time, and they will match in at most O(n) additional time, so this stays big-oh optimal.

It's layer based traversal via BFS. You have to compare the layers produced by the tortoise and the hare. Let's see for a binary tree:

For traversal:
hare: O(N)
tortoise: O(N)
There are N total nodes so traversal via bfs or dfs will always be N.

BFS traversal happens in layers of breadth. The height of a full binary tree is log2(N + 1) - 1. The length of the last layer is 2^height. So the amount of nodes in the last layer is (N+1)/2

Because at each stage of traversal from the turtle and the hare we have to compare the "layer" of traversal between the hare and the tortoise to see if they overlap there is a roughly O(((N+1)/2 )^ 2) comparison as we cycle through each node in the layer to see if it exists in the other layer being compared. This reduces to O(N^2) processing time.

So total is O(N^3) because you have O(N) traversal time, and O(N^2) comparison time on each traversal step. You can reduce the layer comparison to O(N) if you save one layer to a hashset and then compare that set to the other layer, but that has a memory cost and only reduces the total big O to O(N^2).
Mine cheese.
