Realizing that there are other issues with which to contend, why not just start slowing down airline flights?

Drag, and therefore fuel used, is a function of velocity squared.

Slowing down from 500 to 400 knots adds a half hour to a 1000 nm flight, but could provide maybe 25-30% fuel savings?

Misleading article: proptech has made managing sfr at scale feasible. But the major drivers are low interest financing for bulk purchases of houses (much cheaper than mortgages), preferential tax treatment (no transfer taxes, no death taxes), and the fact that homeowners are increasingly incapable or not allowed to provide their own maintenance, making scale worth it.
Most things aren't decriminalized, just psychedelic truffles (which are legal) and cannabis. Official policy is to tolerate everything, unless someone is being a nuisance.

The Netherlands is an interesting case. Despite amphetamine, MDMA, etc. being illegal, The Hague has turned a blind eye to massive industrial production farms in the south. At one point, the Netherlands almost held a monopoly on the world's MDMA production. Rumors of conspiracy suggest it's intentional, but the end result is the same. Many of these drugs are de facto legal, if not de jure. Of course, this was the landscape some decades ago. It's been changing. Mexican cartels are starting to elbow in, and it's been causing "problems". Watching how the government reacts to the evolving ecosystem is going to be intriguing.

I've been using Phind [0] for specifically dev related stuff, and it's been great. I very much like that it gives me all the resources it uses.

On the other hand, I feel like my experience with Phind has been so great because with all dev stuff I ask it it's always been something I could try out right away.

With non-dev stuff that isn't always the case. I'd love an LLM that can do the same thing as Phind, as in providing the sources it's using, while also working for everything.

It's been legal recreationally in Oregon for a number of years now, and medically legal for 10 or so years before that. Basically the same story...record tax receipts at first, but slipping the last few years[1].

There have also been a lot of stories in the couple of years or so regarding massive cartel growing operations[1] blending in with the legal grows, flooding the market with cheaper cannabis. These are usually staffed by people who are the victims of human trafficking[2] working off their "debt." A lot of people are going back to black market cannabis because there are no taxes, so it's about 20% cheaper right off the top.

If McDonald's is taking money out of people's paychecks and replacing it with McPoints or whatever they call them, then yes.

Companies can give prizes or awards on top of paying their usual wages with actual money, but as soon as they start paying people less because they're compensating them with fake money it's a problem.
If you're selling it, you also have to count it as income and pay income tax as well. I don't know that it adds up to 70%, but the excise and sales taxes aren't the end of the story by a long shot if you want to be in full compliance.

Nobody should be trusting anything they see online anyways. Trump and his whole cohort were real people spewing real lies all the time, so is it really that different if its a midjourney photo with some GPT text? We've been in an age of needing to check your facts from multiple reliable sources for some time, and I think this might actually accelerate some important developments that will help us by not just combating AI but also lying leaders. Information needs to be cryptographically signed by the device/creator/journalist/organization and reputation needs to be tracked.

Tucker Carlson's texts have exposed the fact that he was lying throughout the Trump presidency. The number one news anchor on the most watched channel in the US was lying to the public and then privately texting with friends and colleagues about it. He should be shunned from public media for good now.

The internet has been full of crap for years, so my prediction is AI generated content has a burst of utility early on for bad actors, but it will quickly be normalized and cast aside like most of the garbage we wade through today.
None about logistics, other than often showing the bases in basically every single one ever made.

You can use 2 different versions of the same library in the same program.
You can use incompatible libraries in the same project, as well as libraries with incompatible/conflicting dependencies.
It's easy to share written scripts. The script file becomes self-sufficient - the user does not need to install the necessary libraries.
The library does not leave behind "garbage". After the end of the program, no additional files remain in the system.
Sure, I remember when that complaint was often cited. I'm just saying that using a version control system was the most common case even then. It wasn't as common as it should have been, though, that's true. But using version control was still common well before git came around.

Now, if you go back to the mid '80s and earlier, version control was rare.
Denmark has a system like this, MitID, it support OAuth2 and OpenID Connect, so here it should be possible. The US doesn't have a country wide system for identification only, not that I know of at least. I can understand companies, like PornHub, not wanting to pay along, unless the government provides a system for age verification. Still it would also be a lot of work to integrate with every single government ID scheme around the world.

Also they normally aren't free to use, each query normally cost money, why would the porn sites want to pay for a service they didn't want anyway.

Another issue with these system: They are high value target and they tend to be just as crashy as other government IT projects.
There is much more variety to the physical shape of fountain pens, in just about every measurable dimension. Then, part of the process is to develop a sense of how each pen feels and to discover the one that feels best to _YOU_. It's very personal. It sort of behaves as a tailored suit.

I should mention that the ink can also influence the feel of the pen. There is also that to discover.

The government controls the amount of dollars. It's not paying back out of coffers, just print the money. But if you really want to, you could cover the deposits from FDIC which is insurance paid by that bank. Secondly we're not bailing out banks. We'd be bailing out the depositors. The banks and their stock is free to go to zero, everyone is fired, etc. I think you've conflated two different things.

Thanks for the pointer, we haven't checked out OPAL yet. It seems to be the most popular standard when it comes to "Self Encrypting Drives" (SED).

Looking into it shortly, I've found a paper from 2019 from Meijer et al. ([1]) finding several flaws with OPAL-compliant drives. They further find that BitLocker entirely depends on SSD-based encryption if the hardware advertises it. This finding's nature is very similar to ours in that BitLocker's Disk Encryption is insecure/unreliable in particular hardware configurations.

I think given the options the really wealthy have, the other question is would a US wealth tax really have a large effect on currently US-based billionaires, or would it just cause a shift of those billionaires to be based elsewhere? Can you only have a really effective wealth tax if it's in coordination with a lot of other countries, as with the developments a couple years ago on a global corporate minimum tax?

Blocking access to pornographic websites is the responsibility of parents or other responsible adults absent a federal ID verification system that would enable websites to reliably block kids (similar to S. Korea).

You can justify almost any amount of censorship based on "thinking about the kids". But our society is built for more than just the first 20% of human life. The proliferation of this argument that everything from the internet to IRL bookstores need to be censored to protect children starts from a good place, but it jumped the shark a long time ago.

Absolutely. The moment it became clear to me was back when Google completely broke gmail and search for WebOS devices. It served the most rudimentary, broken WAP like version of Gmail and a stripped down version of search. Gmail was basically unusable.

For Meyer, his veganism also unlocked his discovery of a purpose. He claims that ending animal exploitation is his calling and that as an athlete, he represents an alternative viewpoint that can help achieve this.

“In a world where billions of animals are killed for food every year, and billions of marketing dollars are poured into campaigns linking the consumption of animal products to masculinity and improved athletic performance, my running provides a counter-narrative – that we can thrive and compete as plant-powered athletes,” he said.
Those are simply the bog-standard IEEE/IEC.754 floating point infinities, so they're the same thing in essentially every mainstream language.
Yes, let’s completely ignore the Guardian article.

The difference between the two is that one is a source of amusement while the other group has already affected public policy and budgets. It’s estimated that there are 3 million flat earthers in the US, while there are approximately 50 million people who supported the defund the police movement in 2021.

Unlike the flat earth people, the defund the police populist movement actually has political clout and they have changed budgets for several police departments. If you stick your head in the ground, the progressive populists don’t magically go away

I had an debate with a friend's wife a while back (these always go over so well). That there's a bothersome logical inconsistency of having Alcohol XOR THC products (of many kinds). ie Either both should be legal, or neither.

As far as I can tell keeping alcohol legalized is simply having the moderate 59%[1] of drinkers use tyranny of the majority to enforce their freedom at deep detriment to both the hazardous/heavy drinkers (but also to everyone because the negative effects of drinking distribute to moderate/non-drinkers. I presume that this is also heavily lobbied by Alcohol industry in the US because more than 2/3rds of revenue come from heavy drinkers. And grabbing the first headline that matches my theory it seems like tax revenue doesnt cover the societal costs [2]

Related to the topic at hand it seems the societal costs of alcohol abuse is greater than drug use[3] (all drugs combine). So again, if Alcohol is Legal, then THC should be too, though I maintain it'd be even more societally beneficial to prohibit both.

Just rolled it out internally at our company as well. It’s nice to have access to GPT-4 without having to pay for it myself (those queries and responses get pricey if you use it a lot).

Super helpful for boilerplate code. Right now, we have a limit of 500 tokens though, so it somewhat limits asking more complex questions.

Interestingly, our internal team supporting it has added a ton of initial prompts depending on what vertical of our business you want to ask about. Kind of neat, as I haven’t tried to get the AI to pretend to be something else as of yet.

> It’s perhaps a cautionary tale about addiction and having one’s mind warped by social media

I view it the same way, but in the opposite direction. Musk has arguably done more for the environment than anyone else alive, but his social media faux pas and the responding social media cult-like hate has made him a persona non grata to those who claim they hold the environment "sacred".

Social media drama is apparently more important than the environment to many on the left.
I have no desire for “society” to make rules that govern my kids. Especially seeing that between gerrymandering, the electoral college and the fact that each state no matter what the size has two senators means that people who would love to impose their religious beliefs on others have an outsized influence on laws that are passed.
> Do you think there is or isn't deleterious effects when children watch misogyny at a young age, what about watching programming that would show the beating of animals, even if animated and just for "fun", or programming that shows being "fat" is undesirable and indulging in bulimia is desirable (what could be wrong with over-eating and then just vomiting excess, right?)

I think he was asking (and rightly so) what the scientific evidence says, not what someone's opinion is.
... I gotta say, that's a surprisingly good comeback. One would have to dive into the stats on how many people get married in the first place and then divorce (iirc the latter is about a third? At least in my country) and then halve that rate, so it's not going to be an "extremely" by any definition I think, but I do better see your point.

Makes me think about gambling. Most people either don't do any or do it in normal proportions. For those that do have trouble, as this argument is about addiction after all, there's a self-imposed timeout mechanism that gets centrally registered so that any gambling place will enforce the timeout on this person. I don't know how much it helps, and it also goes into having to identify users to avoid circumventing even a self-imposed safeguard, but it might be an industry to compare against and draw research from (I haven't seen it mentioned yet in the greater thread).

So in summary:

- you unlocked your bootloader w/o re-locking it again → insecure

- you used a phone that doesn‘t receive OEM updates anymore → insecure

- you use firefox over tor: no sandbox, very unique fingerprint

- all of the device‘s traffic is routed over tor → any authentication on a non-privacy service compromises your anonymity

I don‘t think this is a good setup.

> I can't supply what you seek of something within the model that violates the model.

That's not what I asked for. I asked you what you are basing this claim on: "All "orbits" are in reality, spirals. Away, or toward things they're orbiting." Waving your hands and saying "entropy" or "dissolution" or "I don't like the way the models are presented" does not answer that question.

Here's an example of a valid answer to the question, but for a particular case, not for "all" orbits: the "orbit" of the Moon around the Earth is in fact not a closed ellipse but a spiral, slowly spiraling away from Earth. Why? Because the action of the Moon's gravity on the tidal bulge in the Earth caused by the Moon causes the Earth's rate of spin to slowly decrease and the Moon's orbital energy and angular momentum (which determine its perigee and apogee) to slowly increase. But note that in this particular case, the effect has nothing to do with "entropy" or "dissolution", and the model that includes it is commonly presented in textbooks and is not a mystery at all.

Here's another example for a different particular case: the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar. The "orbits" of the two pulsars around each other are not closed ellipses: the pulsars are slowly spiraling towards each other as they emit gravitational waves, which carry away energy and angular momentum. Here, again, the effect has nothing to do with "entropy" or "dissolution", and the model that includes it, while generally only presented to students majoring in physics, is again not a mystery at all.

But these are just two particular cases. A valid answer from you to my question about your claim, which claimed to cover all cases ("all" orbits), would be something along the same lines as above, but citing an effect which is known to be present in all orbits.

Do I understand correctly that three architectures of "AI-enabled hardware" (I couldn't come up with a better term) are the following?

1) separate cpu and gpu,

2) cpu and neural cores,

3) gpu-like cpu (like in this post).

In the long term, is any of these architectures potentially preferable for a) training, b) inference?

(I am guessing cpu + gpu is not ideal for consumer-level inference because of gpu prices and their space requirements, I don't know much about hardware.)
