In what universe is having a dumb, sickly population the most rational move for having a productive nation? Seems like the individual wants and collective wants align here.

You also did not ask for what genes are the most survival of the fittest / evolution of a nation, so, I did not respond with such an answer. Nothing was "changed" here.
-20 - at which point the COP of the heat pump I linked to is still well above 1 - is equal to the coldest temperature on record in the locations I mentioned. Not the coldest daily maximum. The coldest temperature ever recorded, and the heat pump still wouldn’t require any backup system. Yes, it’s probably working hard at that point, but so? We’re talking exceptional conditions for the location.

And for the other 99.99% of the time the heat pump is so much cheaper to run it’s not funny - and in the long run you save even more when you’re not paying for all that gas infrastructure to be installed and maintained.
I'll be burying a 1000 gallon propane tank, for propane heating and two propane ranges (I have an apartment I've constructed) within the next year, with a propane generator to help during power outages, while I still can. I'll be heating/cooling primarily with a heat pump, but it simply cannot be relied upon for safety.

This is ultimately performative, as it doesn't really help reach carbon targets, and politically it seems like suicide with something like 70% of homes having a gas appliance. Even weirder, the governor is from Buffalo. I'm not sure that this is the hill to die on in the northeast. But I guess it would be good for property values of previous construction.
Meh. None of those has the weird multi-gigabyte L4 caches of a Telum. And none of them will continue working during an earthquake.
You can believe climate change is real and an imminent threat and still hold the position that banning gas stoves is a meaningless, misguided policy that will have no effect on climate change. There is no mutual exclusivity.

A typical natural gas stove burner uses around 7,000 to 10,000 BTUs per hour, which translates to about 0.8 to 1.2 pounds of CO2 emissions per hour of use. This doesn't even qualify as a blip on the radar of the global emissions problem. It's completely irrelevant to the problem you claim is prompting your antisocial outbursts.

At some point, you'll have to decide whether it's more about the climate or more about you. Hopefully you'll choose the climate eventually.
Thank you for your feedback!

Personally I am not sure if I like winning more than just combining the cubes together and moving onto the next seed if it can't solve the current one :)

Pre-generating seeds is a valid solution but since I don't want the game to make any network requests I don't think it would work for me. Brute forcing it makes me worried if it'd drain the battery.

I think I would rather add an opt-in (like a checkbox) option to make the game check fields for certain patterns that tell if a seed can't be solved and keep generating until there's a seed that passes that check. I think that way the game would still give you the occasional seed that can't be solved but statistically your chances would go up.

Regarding rotating the view, that would make it a different game and I'd like to keep it as it is. However, that sounds like it could be fun so please send me a link if you end up creating such a version! :)
I am a person who produces videos to publish on Youtube, and I want to add a different perspective to this.

Here is where we are currently at:
- Everyone complains about the ads, so they install adblock.
- Ads become worthless on Youtube for smaller creators, so they start taking sponsorships.
- Everyone complains about the sponsors, they call creators shills and sponsorblock is gaining traction to block them.
- Smaller creators shift to being dependent on direct support (Patreon, etc.)

Here is where we are going:
- People complain a video is too long, so they extract the data directly avoiding youtube.
- The creators don't get ads, don't get people to understand the effort put in and support directly, and don't get views. The videos just don't get watched.

A feedback loop is happening here where every possible method that allows making quality Youtube content sustainable is becoming impossible. The fact that anyone here is willing to pay for this service that will destroy the last shreds of this is extremely disheartening.

If you stop watching videos, there will be no reason to make the videos.

Years ago, after I noticed that most adverbs are redundant, I began to write an ebook processor that would strip the adverbs out of ebooks before I read them to save time.

It turned out to require rather more semantic parsing than I expected. Maybe its worth revisiting with the advent of large language models.
The video feed was HD video too! Alas, only one room in Australia got to see the HD video feed.
"There will be consequences"
In my job as an Analyst/Terminal Operator in support of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, J4 Logistics Readiness Center in the National Military Command Center (NMCC) inside the Pentagon, I found that the entire NMCC was a SCIF and that it was not that different from any other group of offices in the Pentagon. Okay, it was on raised datacenter style flooring, but that was more because you had all these cables that needed to run through the flooring and for handling the cooling, than anything else.

You had the security guards at the entrances, and you had to leave your backpacks and pagers and cell phones at the entrance, and there were no windows, but otherwise it wasn't really much different from any other office in the building. There were desks inside, they had STU-III classified phones, they had coffee makers, they had TVs connected to internal cable TV networks, some rooms had red phones, they had classified WWMCCS terminals inside, and so on.

Our part of the Defense Information Systems Agency was disbanded after Desert Shield, and the personnel were scattered to the four winds. I was on the short list to go to the Red Phone project at the NSA, but they instead grabbed me for the internal IT group responsible for doing all IT support for the DISAnet network. After that, I didn't do any classified work, so I don't know for sure how things evolved in the classified arena.

But I would imagine that smaller SCIFs might be something like a highly customized shipping container, sure.

that doesn't mean anything, it should be "Egison makes programming dramatically simpler!"
Mastodon doesn't need to scale. Scale is about maximizing revenue with dark patterns, SEO, clickbait, propaganda and dopamine loops. Scale is the cesspool of human hatred and stupidity. Scale is you and your data being the product. Scale is a cancer Mastodon and other decentralized networks can hopefully avoid.

The only thing Mastodon has to do to "win" is continue to exist and thrive in its niche while the lumbering,, centralized corporate social media dinosaurs choke to death around them.
I always find the "unlimited budget" angle interesting.

The entire Apollo program had a budget of $165.5 billion (in 2021 dollars), over a 10 year program. $16.5 billion per year. It's a big number, but it's absolutely dwarfed by things like a $600bn military.

I honestly don't get why you have to take such an extreme interpretation of my comment. Since it may not be so obvious, my main criticism was of government in general.

Disagree: This is an area to which I've devoted some study (amateur theologian, former professional "street-level historian," i.e., litigator). I can't speak to his comments about the Qur'an, but his comments about early Christian sources seem to be pretty much the consensus among scholars.

Methane leaks are much more environmentally damaging than often appreciated because methane is such a potent greenhouse gas.

That wasn’t their claim at all, so it seems questionable to demand they prove this.

It’s like if someone said “cheerios are good for the heart”, and you asked someone to demonstrate that nobody ever had a heart attack while eating cheerios. You’re challenging an exaggerated version of the claim that was made, not the actual claim.

IMHO it should say "especially stoves".

While gas stoves are nicer for cooking then simple electrical stoves, induction stoves have become comparatively cheap and can be roughly as good as gas stoves.

At the same time having gas stoves is associated with a non small number of health risk especially with subpar ventilation and also associated with a non small risk for pretty bad accidents of all kinds.

So a ban on gas stoves is IMHO overdue.
Here is an thought for you:

Think of your profession. Count the number of people that are not qualified for the job, or that are actively doing drugs while on the job. Now count how many of those get fired and pushed out of the profession, via judge, customer reviews, bad industry rep, or loss of license.

Now doctors. Do you think there are doctors not qualified for the job ? Or on drugs ? Because, there are exactly zero doctors pushed out of the practice of medicine.

That should answer a few questions about whether you can implement transparency.

Based on the information you've provided, I don't think we can get rid of a whole percent, since that would require the entire country to completely get rid of gas stoves and also for their new electric stoves to be powered by something that does not produce emissions.

I know you'll disagree, but my take is that the upside (<1% savings over the course of, say, 30 years) is outweighed by the downside (lack of ability to cook or boil water during a power outage, far worse cooking experience).

Global South, i.e. BRICS+, sells and consumes huge amounts of oil.

Russia has proven mineral reserves of $75T, most in the world by a fat margin. If they stop selling their oil they're done, and so are China, India, Japan, and parts of Europe. BRICS don't have the ability to drop oil without catastrophic impacts on their food and energy systems.

Climate science is hard. The margins of error are wide. They already have a track record of being overly aggressive on predictions.
What subsidizing? I built my house, I had to pay someone to dig into the street to hook up to the gas lines and then fix the road. Then I had to pay the gas company to install a meter and turn on service at my new address. And finally, they send me a bill every month for the gas I use.

Having that gas hookup saves me a ton of hassle during the winter months when, inevitably, power goes out and I need to keep my place warm for a day or two (or more, though rarely) while I wait for service to be restored. My neighbors appreciate it as well, as they can come get warm in front of my gas fireplace and cook on my gas range.

I have yet to see a downside of having gas as an option, it's only helped ESPECIALLY given the geographic realities of where I live (feet of snow overnight, subzero temps for weeks/months). Ironically the pushbacks against people who are PRO gas proves how insular the anti-gas crowd is, because apparently they can't imagine a reason someone would NEED that as an option

Counterpoint: the bad people are already doing bad things. There is already plenty of secure communication technology, it’s just not super convenient. The highly motivated weirdos don’t mind that though.

There is a much larger group of people (parents) who need a secure and convenient way to share photos. They are not as driven as the perverts, so they need all the support and user-friendliness that we can provide.

We should build the tools that help the parents protect their kids, and let law enforcement deal with the other group.
We're talking about hypothetical situations for a technology that, as far as we can tell anyway, hasn't been invented yet. All we have is assumptions.

The question is, which assumptions do we think are warranted and why?

I don't think the "we can just turn it off" assumption is a safe one at all because it relies heavily on there being only one system you wish to turn off and it being a fairly weak system. Though, I do believe the priors suggest that this scenario is actually a possibility. It's just that, so what if it's a possibility? What happens after you turn it off? Is it the last AGI to come into existence and humanity just stops trying to build them? Does someone wind up turning it back on?

What I think is more worth being concerned about is something that starts out looking benign and grows in capability over time. Eventually it could establish enough defense mechanisms to make it non-trivial to disable.

The other possibility, and the one I'm finding more and more likely, is that consumers will increasingly integrate locally run models into their lives , as well as models served up by APIs that they will have credentials for. Eventually some threshold of capability is reached in both these types of models where, on their own they're not that powerful, but they either might begin to interact in surprising ways or potentially be leveraged by another more powerful system. The idea in this scenario is there may be 10s or even 100s of millions of things that would need to be turned off.

I'll wait for the RISC-V version of the SDK. I see no future where Windows for ARM meets ample success.

We know there's a Windows for RISC-V in the works, as the foundation's talks at the Summit referenced it multiple times.

ARM-based, hardware-wise, there's only Qualcomm-based laptops. Qualcomm is very obviously not going to be making SoCs based on ARM CPUs for long.

They have been RISC-V members for a while, they are being sued by ARM, and they've clearly expressed their intent re: RISC-V in their talks at the RISC-V Summit.

As for other SoC vendors, I doubt there is interest. Not now that RISC-V is already taking off.
Not a proportional vote but a territorial vote nonetheless.

Well, 50 years ago when I started assaying caustic soda cargoes, bureaus like ours were not yet using computers for this in the chem lab.

The bench technique was not as repeatable as I needed to begin with, but the easy calculations were identical to how it had been done using slide rules, only electronic calculators were the modern replacement.

The fourth decimal place really maks a big difference when you've got thousands of tonnes.

There was one caustic plant where they had a very specialized lab apparatus that allowed better precision, but we were not going to be able to adopt that approach worldwide in our independent labs.

I figured out a way to easily reproduce the results using ordinary apparatus, but the calculations were far too hairy for most bench operators to adapt to. And that was with calculators, nobody would have ever done this with slide rules.

So I wrote a little Basic program on the Commodore VIC20 that we had in the office just to experiment with. With 20/20 hindsight I was the first and only programmer at this particular multinational at the time.

Then it was a breeze to just assay the easy way on the bench, type in the readings to the VIC20 and out came the result.

Ended up leaving the company to build a lab in another port before this could be deployed elsewhere, did configure the code for a few different platform Basics before the IBM PC became so common, and used it myself ever since whenever I need to break out the big guns to settle a dispute or something.

One of the reasons I think it lasted so long for me is because it solved a problem that existed many decades before I came along with a systems approach that included code for the first time in history.

Redundancy is good.

If you can cook and keep warm on both gas and electricity, then an outage of one or the other is much less of an issue.

All of these things exist in the Python package ecosystem, and are generally much more common outside of ML/DS stuff. The latter... well, it reminds me of coding in early PHP days. Basically, anything goes so long as it works.

Apollo was actually pretty close to the same GDP share (2.5% of GDP annually) as the modern defense budget (3.1% of GDP).

Inflation-adjusted numbers ignore that we have more people and more value produced per capita now than in the 1960s.

This is the first AI project to actually give me pause and envision a world spiraling out of control. This is asking AI how we should think and if it were to catch on gives a rather terrifying amount of power to the AI and the people behind the scenes. But realistically it is probably no different than what we have now and the sort of person who would ask an AI how they should think is already farming that out anyways. Status quo for the win, disaster averted.

> you are putting hundreds of times more harmful particulates into the air than the stove puts out alone.

This is true and entirely misses the point.

A gas stove emits NOx. Cooking some foods at high temperature emits particulates. Different cause, different poison. Also, an air filter can easily remove particulates, but getting rid of NOx with anything other than outright replacement of the air is not so easy.

edit: NOx is for real, and calling it a “green” issue is disingenuous. As far as I know, NOx emissions from stoves are not a particular threat to neighbors or overall outdoor air quality. But they are substantial when concentrated in a house:

(Seriously, look at the last graph in the supplementary material. Admittedly it’s an oven, not a stove, but those levels are no joke and the operating time needed to hit them is low. Baking a pie or cooking a big pot of pasta with a gas oven or stove in a kitchen without proper ventilation is quite unhealthy. And those recirculating carbon filter vents won’t help.

Unless you are having customers ask you for it, I would hold off. It's expensive, even done cheaply, most of the automation tools are just automated testing platforms with integrations to third-party systems that may or may not suit your environment. The templates are nice but as a 1 party shop you will end up rewriting large portions to suit your needs.
