> The moon is white. White is the most natural color of light at night. White street lights are probably the most natural approximation.

You say "white" as if there's only one color white, which isn't the case when you're talking about a range of lighting temperatures. The moon also has a unique light profile that it reflects. It's not the definition of white. Either way, if you're advocating for something resembling 6500k daylight white lighting at night, there is nothing at all natural about that. The moon casts a very dim light, even at its brightest.
It doesn't have to be as efficient ... a hyper-efficient private business that shift most of it's profits to a tax haven (as they all do) provides less benefit to the country than a moderately efficient state enterprise that invests all the gains back into the country.

The point is for the country to take the role of "business owner", and to relegate the private businesses to the role of an "employee" (with a commensurately smaller slice of the upside) ... and if they don't like it, someone else will take their place ... after all the country has a guaranteed monopoly (they own the entire resource).

Just because I technically could get something equivalent for free, doesn’t mean I necessarily want to.

I’m fortunate enough that the monthly subscription isn’t exactly breaking the bank, so it’s a good way to support the content I enjoy, and is more realistic and affordable than subscribing to dozens of Patreons.

I also do the majority of my viewing on my TV via Apple TV (and previously the built in TV apps), so the options for third party alternatives are very limited even if the above were not the case.
$300? De-minimis. The costs of you taking any legal action far outweigh the benefits. The best course of action is to cancel your card and check with your company that this blocks all recurring payments. It'll be a pain to reinstate legitimate recurring payments you may have on the card - but the flipside is you'll get a chance to review all the recurring stuff that you subscribe to!

Passive voiceprinting for call centers, including trying to detect frauds and deepfakes. From the page:

> Call centers use Pindrop Voiceprinting™ technology to analyze the characteristics of their customers’ voices. With the Deep Voice™ Engine, they can verify that callers are who they claim to be, or if a caller’s voice matches that of a known fraudster profile.

> Every caller’s voice presents unique acoustic and behavioral features over the wire. Pindrop analyzes these unique signals, extracted from short utterances of a caller’s speech — whether they are interacting with the IVR or with an agent — to develop a unique voiceprint for each caller.

> Blacklist: Crossmatch a caller’s voice against Pindrop’s voice blacklist to detect repeat fraudsters

> Anomaly Detection: Examine speech for voice morphing, recording and playback attacks, and simulated voices.

>>those who take offense are generally understood to be mistaking the intention of the speaker.

This is literally the entire point of what I said. Everything you said before it is unnecessary. Obviously I wouldn't use the word to offend anyone. But if you are quoting a passage from a book(as an example) that uses that word, then write it out not put dashes instead of letters, that's just silly - you still used it, just self censored yourself.
> "Once these models achieve a high level of comprehension, training larger models with more data may not offer significant improvements (not to be mistaken with reinforcement learning through human feedback). Instead, providing LLMs with real-time, relevant data for interpretation and understanding can make them more valuable."

To me this viewpoint looks totally alien. Imagine you have been training this model to predict the next token. At first it can barely interleave vowels and consonants. Then it can start making words, then whole sentences. Then it starts unlocking every cognitive ability one by one. It begins to pass nearly every human test and certification exam and psychological test of theory of mind.

Now imagine thinking at this point "training larger models with more data may not offer significant improvements" and deciding that's why you stop scaling it. That makes absolutely no sense to me unless 1) you have no imagination or 2) you want to stop because you are scared to make superhuman intelligence or 3) you are lying to throw off competitors or regulators or other people.

Frame challenge : Why would accounts ever need to be archived?
It's widely known that we're leagues ahead in cyber capability, just like the rest of (most of) our military technology. To pretend otherwise is sophomoric.

I'm sorry, I just don't agree with what you are saying. This discounts the economic and imperial interventions the US has made around the world. By contrast, China has not done any of that and Russia didn't until very recently, but even the Ukraine situation is more defensible in a sense than running halfway around the world to fuck with Iraq for lulz.

What are you talking about? People exploring nature at night have been using red lights for decades. It's standard equipment.

There's no mystery around the reason to use red light either. Nocturnal animals, especially mammals, have far more rods than cones in their eyes. This means they are much more sensitive to brightness than they are to color.

Red light in practice is far less bright than white light for the same input energy (a bit more complicated than this) and for quite a few animals they may not see it at all or very poorly.

None of this is theorizing, the effect can be readily seen in practice.
It's climate ACCELERATED change that is the problem.

The earth has undergone many climate changes over time. The ice-age 10,000 years ago for example. The change is slow. Plants and animals have time to adjust to changes. But current global warming appears to be occuring at a rapid rate.

Volcanic eruptions expelling massive amounts of smoke and ash and huge meteorites hitting the earth have also triggered rapid climate changes.
I'd agree, but the historical computing restrictions were usually hitting ceilings over 8, 12, or 16 bits when those things were very expensive.

32bits is just about large enough (within an order of magnitude sense) if the space was used more efficiently.

128bits I've heard described is like "every atom in the universe" big. If so, then 64 is probably enough for every atom on Earth.

Now I've just thought of another angle, similar to UUIDs. They are used because they can be assigned randomly without worry of collision. But I don't think IP6 addresses are being assigned randomly, hmm.

Keep in mind, RH drops as temperature rises. Experienced the same in Florida. Every once in a while you'd get a super hot day, but the humidity would read lower than usual.

The humidity at 44C was probably in the 40s.

Not that any of this is good news, just trying to clarify it wasn't 44C at 78% RH. That would be insanely deadly.

So what? Buy from the other guy if you don't like it. If there is no other guy, then we need the FTC to take action. Nearly everything I use daily has a cheaper or generic version.

“We’ll show you how to make sure you don’t have even one crystal fall off the plate.”

My personal pet peeve is Azure Application Insights which uses Log Analytics under the hood… at a rate of $2.75 per ingested GB of logs stored for one month. That’s highway robbery.

Let that sink in: They charge $2,800 to store a TB of text that takes a few hundred dollars of overpriced cloud disk and maybe $10 of CPU time for the actual processing. That’s the cost of a serviceable used car or a brand new gaming PC!

But wait! There’s more.

In reality that 1 TB is column compressed down to maybe 100 MB, making it about $30K charged per terabyte stored on disk.

It doesn’t stop there! Thanks to misaligned incentives, the ingested data format is fantastically inefficient JSON that re-sends static values for every metric sample collected.
Why would anyone ever bother to optimise their only revenue?!

They won’t.

The reality is that a numeric metric collected once a second (not minute!) is just 21 MB if stored as a simple array. Most metrics are highly compressible, and that would easily pack to 100 KB per metric per month.

A typical Windows server has about 15,000 performance metrics. We could be collecting these once a second and use a grand total of… 1.5 GB per month. That’s every metric for every process, every device, every error counter, everything.

Modern server monitoring is inefficient and overpriced by 5 orders of magnitude. It’s that simple.

That fact that your company can exist at all is a testament to that.

China can compete in this method because they have 4 times the population of the US. And even so in aggregate they are still clearly in 2nd in the global hard power race.

Scarily for china their demographics look horrific through the rest of the century while America will likely continue growing due to immigration. By 2100 it's projected they could have less than twice the population of the US. Will they still be competitive then? Will any of the asian tigers besides Japan & SK escape the middle income trap?

> It has the same advantages search has over ChatGPT (being able to cite sources, being quite unlikely to hallucinate) and it has some of the advantages ChatGPT has over search (not needing exact query) - but in my experience it's not really in the new category of information discovery that ChatGPT introduced us to.

I think the two could be paired up effectively. Context windows are getting bigger, but are still limited in the amount of information ChatGPT can sift through. This in turn limits the utility of current plugin based approaches.

Letting ChatGPT ask for relevant information, and sift through it based on its internal knowledge, seems valuable. If nothing else, it allows "learning" from recent development and effectively would augment its reasoning capability by having more information in working memory.

NAC is a glutathione precursor. It is both anti- and pro- cancer. It is anti-cancer in a sense that glutathione reduces the risk of getting cancer in the first place. It is pro-cancer in a sense that it reduces the power of immune response due to reduction of the amount of produced ROS, which may theoretically lead to a faster cancer spread.

So yeah, they both are kind of similar in that dimension.

FL didn't give land to Disney. Disney bought all of its own land via W.E.D. Enterprises and other dummy companies they used to discretely make the purchases in 1964 [2]. Later, after Walt's death in 1965, in 1967, Roy O. Disney made the case for the Reedy Creek Improvement Act [1], which gave Disney an exclusive zone in the state independent of county/city/state zoning laws, building codes, school districts, etc.

Part of the pitch to getting the Reedy Creek Act passed, was the plans for E.P.C.O.T. (Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow) and the plan to build a new urban development. Those plans were complicated after Walt's death and permanently shelved after his brother Roy's retirement in 1968, but Disney retained its exemptions in spite of never truly undertaking the original plan and simply operated a tax-reduced, virtually regulation-free amusement park, until this year.
