I've all the protective equipment and I know what to do if the bee attacks get overwhelming: run to a shed and leave the door ajar -- angry bees don't like to follow their targets into dark places!

But also if you're going to try to kill an africanized wild beehive you should use soapy water, with a sprayer, and if the bees attack then you'll spray your attackers with soapy water than that's that.
All of them seem like non-sequiturs, they have little relation to each other or to the comment they reply to.

The haber process doesn't require that the hydrogen comes from natural gas, and if you use other hydrogen sources and clean energy doesn't release CO2. From what I understand the popularity of natural gas simply comes from natural gas being one of the cheapest sources of energy. If you have cheap electricty you can just run a fuel-cell backwards, or electrolyse water. Electricity just happens to be more expensive than natural gas. Other processes will hit the same problem, since the overall energy requirement is the same. Whatever process we find needs the energy from somewhere.
AI (or any other breakthrough tech) will only exaggerate the difference set up by the tax code. As long as there is an incentive to keep corporations growing the divide will increase.
I just want to emphasize two words: trust and freedom.

TRUST:

The primary reason why some solutions proposed by other comments around how we can use smart knobs, touchscreens with protrusions don't work is that we TRUST the physical buttons most. If you feel it registers, you know it surely registers. You can reach your finger towards the panel without thinking beforehand whether to increase or decrease the volume without fearing accidentally triggering other functions. In words of the WWDC 2018 presentation "Designing fluid interfaces", the thought happens WITH the motion. Why do people still use physical camera blockers when there are already plenty of software solutions available? Trust.

Smart knob-like implementations would not solve the problem. For really important stuff like the volume controls/mute button, we really need something that we users can always trust. The ideal implementation is probably only using them to control variables currently showing on the screen(like the touchbar!)

I read an article before about choosing keyboard to maximize typing speed. It mentioned that the more confidence you have with the keys the better. The experience of typing with unreliable and low-feedback butterfly keys on a VPS over the globe with 300ms roundtrip latency is beyond hell.

I have always hated automatic forced updates, even when they do not cause any performance or stability issues. With physical buttons, you know it is here to stay and can never change. However even we manage to make users able to navigate the touchscreen without looking or just with peripheral vision, who knows when it would change drastically tomorrow when it updates itself in the night? The crux is that with touchscreens, car makers would treat them, and the car, as a massive mobile device, but we users actually expect them to be like computers, or single-purpose servers.

FREEDOM:

The actual implementation is much much more important than the idea itself. The problem is simply too much freedom for the developer. JS and CSS animations/transitions, when used properly, can make the experience smooth while not being dizzy and annoying. But observe the current fiasco of "BEAUTIFUL" and "MODERN" web "DESIGN"s. The thing is, the limit of how bad incorrect executions can be, is probably more important the limit of how good it can be when correctly executed. We can have the fastest processors, screen with the fastest response time, and still some UI "designer" can make it feel slower than the Windows 95 on Intel Pentium, remotely controlled over the continent.

(Please excuse my poor english and bad writing skills.)
Still, it's disappointing how (understandably) inept the average person is at reasoning where they should and shouldn't be placing trust in tech. It's also disappointing to be involved worth the tech industry, broadly speaking, and frequently witness shit shows of security incompetence and outright charlatanism. We can all do better, right? How we do that is definitely a question.
whats even worse is that they never seem interested in assigning blame on Twitter's CEO and Board

Elon only offered to buy Twitter...that offer had to be accepted (and no, the Board was not "legally obligated" to accept the offer)
The difference was that the larger behemoths were required by law to manage risk better. They were subject to a stricter ongoing regulatory regime. The medium banks convinced the corrupt Trump administration and a bunch of corrupt law makers to pass a law that subjects them to a much lighter regulatory regime.

Their reasoning was that if a bank with "only" 250 billion of deposits fails it will not have a systemic effect on the economy. That reasoning was really dumb and now that a couple of medium banks failed the stupidity of that reasoning is obvious for everyone to see. Of course wiping out 250 billion dollars of deposits will cause a bank panic and will have an overall negative effect on the economy, and the fed is working hard to make sure this does not happen.

But generally speaking smaller banks are not by nature riskier. They only got riskier because they passed themselves this law that allowed them to get riskier. And now they will get a reputation for being riskier, and since in banking reputation is everything, they will become riskier.
there's also a video of Bill on "The Computer Chronicles" talking about HyperCard, in 1987 or so.

I reference this show in The Big Bucks. I went to all kinds of trouble to find out when, exactly the show aired in 1987, and finally gave up.
I'd say between that healthkit and arduino's it was snap-circuits which allowed kids like me to get into electronics, the manual was detailed and looking back it's fairly technical although it unfortunately it always assumed you knew what they meant, the manual would tell you to never short circuit the battery but 7-y/old me was so confused as to why you shouldn't because it never got into things like electron flow.
I guess because it's the only one on the market? At least afaik

Totally fair. Thanks for educating me on a proper use case.
Worth noting from the article:

> The verdict required American Seafoods and its subsidiaries to find a new way to ship seafood into the United States, bringing the Bayside Canadian Railway's usefulness to an end.

It looks like the "railway" owner solved the problem by switching to Russian-sourced seafood (Jones act applies to shipments between US ports): https://www.maritime-executive.com/article/cbp-bayside-canad...
I don't see much spam. It's far, far less than Twitter. I can mute people I don't want to see. And I can be anonymous if I want. What exactly did you mean?
Nice idea of the FDNY.

Now, FDNY and sanitation need to do something ACTUALLY ADEQUATE to solve the problem.

IOW, they must make it CONVENIENT to properly dispose of batteries

>>introduced a bill to require the sanitation department to develop a plan for educating New Yorkers about the proper disposal of these batteries, including holding regular disposal events.

>>The city has a dedicated hazardous waste disposal site in each borough — but the hours of operation for these sites are limited.

These measures are a dumb waste of time. Everyone already has a list a mile-and-a-half long of things they should do, and properly disposing of batteries is already on it. Many of the things on everyone's list never get done.

If they want it done, they need to make it easy to do. Heck, just hang some small-ish double-walled steel bins on the trash trucks, and ask people to put their batteries next to their trans bins instead of inside them. At least that'll be a start until a more permanent solution is designed.

They are a major inconvenience for everyone. Only the most conscientious people who have the extra time will do it.

Not if we take the lore around mass survey into account (Snowden etc)
They are doing that today. The FBI asked cell phone providers for everyone who was around the capital January 6th.

ITYM pro-competitive. It was Microsoft's behaviour that was anti-competitive.
It is really not that bad. Really the only problem is gcc. Clang/LLVM stuff works perfectly fine and if you really wanted you could use MSVC.

If I read and understand that correctly, they aren't addressing the UX of the editor, but the engine's features instead? Features are nice, but I don't think people want to type their text in a big window before they see it on the canvas.

Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.NET, and even MS paint let you write text directly on the canvas with an insertion point. The Text tool in Krita is a whole level of abstraction away from being able to see what you want.
> a hated villain just because he took away [Twitter]

This gets the details wrong. The backlash towards the Twitter acquisition was essentially immediate and a consequence of the fact that Elon was the one behind it. The antipathy towards all things Elon had already been in slow foment leading up to the announcement of the proposed acquisition last Spring.
It does seem perfectly in line with the 1% rule[1] for social networks. In this case I'm not sure if a user is a content creator or not so it's a little unclear if this is 1% of 1% or 1% of all.

> Sometimes caring for people is ensuring they find better job opportunities elsewhere. Leave glowing reviews, give them warm leads at other companies, give good severance packages.

> But you do not have to keep them hired. You are running a business, you hire based on your needs, not theirs.

Caring for someone isn't kicking them out the door with a kind word. That's just assuaging your own guilt and little else.

If you actually "cared" for those people, you'd keep them on the payroll until they actually found "better job opportunities elsewhere."
Looks like the diseases in question there are diseases that are more prevalent amongst men than women. Not diseases that are exclusively for men over women. Perhaps there is a curve where if its a disease that can affect both genders there is a bias for men, and if it is exclusively to a specific gender then women get the benefit.

Honestly the only thing that I think has genuinely improved is Community Notes. I think it's pretty smart that a note is only added when people who usually disagree with each other agree on a note. I don't know if that was something in the works prior to Musk or not, but it seems like the rare good idea for improving social media discourse. By comparison, Twitter Blue seems like a gimmick at best.
> The idea that the government would know specifically how much we spend, where we spend it, and could deny transactions sounds pretty distopian to me.

That boat has sailed. Private enterprises collect spending information[0], associate it with your identity and sell the aggregated data to anyone willing to pay. The FBI is on the record as willing to be pay for this data. This dystopia has the "free market/small government" seal of approval.

0. Which is why every retailer badgers you into joining their rewards program based or your phone number and/or email.
What if an unhinged language model generates all this noise talking to other language models, with no humans involved at all? The only human involvement would be an instruction to start spouting some believable bullshit on controversial topics, plus granting access to some private messaging tools and providing a contact list of other language models to talk to.
> Mandatory military conscription is an act of desperation in the face of potential national annihilation

Most neutral European countries like Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Austria have maintained it to one degree or another. I don't think it's generally viewed as 'an act of desperation' by most people in those countries or even that unpopular.
It makes me want to revisit The Web Of Trust[1], and apps like Keybase where users have a cryptographically verified social graph comprised entirely of people who were verified by another human that knows them. That whole idea goes directly against anonymity though, so maybe that will become a more pronounced way to split the internet: verifiable human identities, and anonymous bots and humans.

This is already happening. Banks report all transactions above a very low threshold under various justifications and laws, plus the government is always going to be the front-of-the-line creditor and can trivially find out your entire net worth at will. We could at least look to cut out rent seekers on the baseline services and make banks compete on performance and value-add. As a customer and shareholder of banks I feel like I'm getting ripped off on both ends.

I am currently employed as a post graduate student, applying deep learning techniques to model physically realistic scenarios in natural sciences and engineering, after having already completed my Masters degree in mathematics.

I am interested in EITHER:

a) A Doctorate position, with research focusing on learning theory of deep learning models and/or deep learning applied to science/engineering.

b) An industry position working with deep learning models as a researcher, scientist or engineer.
I'm surprised the debt got totally wiped out too on $220B in (HTM) assets vs $100B in deposits. Those assets have to be severely discounted to arrive at JPMorgan's $2.6B windfall figure. Just last week Levine was saying:

> First Republic estimated as of Dec. 31 that its assets were worth about $27 billion less than their carrying value. So figure its assets are worth something like $206 billion on a good day.

So I'm wondering where the gap is.

> Meanwhile it has ... about $105 billion of secured borrowing from the Federal Reserve and Federal Home Loan Bank system.

Presumably JPMorgan is assuming FR's debt to the these central banks?
There are actually a number of different pesticides that are linked to parkinson's. It's especially strong for farmers who get a much larger dose than the people consuming the food - simply type "parkinson's farmer pesticide" into google scholar. One example is Paraquat, which is already banned in numerous countries but not US [1]. Aside from this Parkinson's link being established in farmers who use Paraquat, it's found it rats too.

Another is rotenone [2].

My experience in "Applied Research" is that often "good ideas from lower ranked researchers" (or good ideas from anyone really) is "I saw this cool paper, let's try and implement that". That doesn't mean top people like Hinton should get all the credit, but let's not kid ourselves and believe most of the ideas didn't origin in academia.

One of GOpenAI's recent breakthroughs was switching to FlashAttention, invented at Stanford and University at Buffalo.

All these projects don't understand that it's not the principle of free communication or the idea of sharing content that made networks like twitter and facebook so successful. It was an army of engineers and designers working closely together with marketing people and even psychologists to maximise user engagement and retention. Heck, you could just endlessly recycle the same algorithmic content mixed with camouflaged marketing influencers sans any real stuff and people will suck it up like crazy (looking at you, tiktok). One of the key things nostr criticises (addictiveness) is what will keep it from succeeding on any broader scale.
> The tried and tested method is international agreements.

You really think actors like North Korea, Al Qaeda, etc. will adhere to International agreements?!?
Of course papercuts matter. They aren't showstoppers, but every one makes the software feel less trustworthy, less reliable, less solid.

If there's only a small number, that's fine. Past a certain threshold, however, and the software will be seen as undesirable no matter how good it is at allowing the user to accomplish what they need to accomplish.

It's simple, you can develop a client or relay without too much effort, and has an active dev community. It's also FUN. It keeps me going back on a way that Mastodon never did. Not to mention client interoperability is dead easy. It kinda just works which is really nice.
"Oh no, all this complete free and open source software exists but it's complex".

You're demonizing Firefox and MIT and calling their output digital chains. It's fair to say that is a fringe opinion.
