I also believe we have inherited the stars. Equally i believe we should grow unlimited.

Among said stars. I think earth should become a green utopia but humanity should colonise space starting with our own solar system.

I think we should expand everywhere we can. But keep home safe and clean.
Very good points.

Also interesting:

- atmospheric rivers (rainforest deforestation influencing rainfall even on other continents)

- biotic pump theory (or something like it) - without continuous/significant forest we lose rain inland and get droughts

- forestry practices - those sorry ass patches of trees (33% of land) surrounded by fields and pastures (50%) in europe should not be called forests, they don't force wind to go over them, because they're not multilevel canopies, so wind goes through and dries them up and they're dying more quickly and don't function as well as they could if they were larger and properly structured (like primaeval forests). Our foresters make them look like monoculture parks, even removing dead branches and stumps ... no wonder that they're almost biodeserts.

- cca 50% of felled roundwood (paper, celulose, furniture) could be replaced with cca 5% of animal agriculture lands and hemp

Is the “world-tradeable” aspect so relevant? Nuclear warheads are going to be locally built and would be send in missiles that would also be built in Russia. The PPP argument is that it’s much cheaper to pay a bunch of rocket engineers and nuclear scientists in Russia, in rubles than in Los Alamos, in dollars. Same for all the logistics chain from raw materials to final assembly, upkeep, and maintenance. If your steel is dirt cheap because you’re full of ore and gas is plentiful, and your workers are paid peanuts, then your tanks are going to be cheap, at least for your own use, regardless of how much they cost in another country. So why would PPP be irrelevant in the case of military hardware?

The exact same, maybe using AI on the backend to improve results, maybe for language translation. But AI is useless in search for the most part. People are looking for a specific thing quickly with the least typing. People don’t want to have a conversation with a chat bot to personalize their results.

I think AI is overhyped right now. Very few real businesses being built on GPT outside of copywriting and blog spam, and consumer toys (avatars, art, funny filters).

I also think Google knows it’s not as disruptive as people think it is.
Great points. I would add:

Summarization is actually a less effective learning technique, according to Dunlosky and other literature in cognitive learning science. Dunlosky recommend other techniques namely "practice testing" and "distributed practice". So I guess those more powerful (and time consuming) techniques are worth using if the book is worth learning thoroughly, whereas summarization and outlining, etc. are less mentally challenging/effortful techniques but still somewhat useful, just empirically less proven to be very effective.
Well, I did qualify it with "unbridled".

This is dangerous rhetoric that feeds into the idea direct war with Russia is an option. In the current international climate, many might think it's a good idea. It is not.

TPB sucks now.
It's fed sub-word tokens not letters (even though it can split a word into letters), and apparently struggles with counting in general. No doubt some of the things it struggles with could be improved with targeted training, but others may require architectural changes.

Imagine yourself trying to use only 5 letter words if you can't see how many letters are actually in each word, and had to rely on a hodgepodge of other means to try to figure it out!
How would you get the correct number? I just did two Google searches and can't find the correct answer anywhere in the first page of results ("Novel The Haj chapters" and "Novel The Haj chapter list"). Even looking in the "look inside" preview on the Penguin Randomhouse website doesn't help because it apparently doesn't have a table of contents. I'm not surprised ChatGPT doesn't know and to me the only bad thing is that it's hallucinating an answer instead of admitting it doesn't know.

I don't want to come off as self-promoting, but the DnD DM problem is exactly what we're working on solving.

Why?

I've previously mused whether there are any nuclear powers that merely pretend. After all it is a deterrent, when it gets to the point you have to use it you've already lost. The point of a nuke isn't to use it, it's to stop the other guy using theirs. A silo full of cardboard ICBMs is functionally as useful as a silo of actual icbms
Library Order in Static Linking
ChatGPT with GPT-4 seems to get this right:

In Java, strings are internally represented by an instance of the `String` class, which is an immutable class that means once created, a `String` object cannot be changed.

The `String` class stores character data as an array of `char` data type. Prior to Java 9, this array was encoded as UTF-16. This means that each character in the string is typically stored in 2 bytes (16 bits), which can represent a range of Unicode characters.

Starting with Java 9, the `String` class uses a `byte` array, plus an encoding-flag field, to store string data. This change was part of the "compact strings" optimization, which is aimed at reducing the memory footprint of `String` objects. The flag tells the JVM whether the string is encoded as UTF-16 or Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1), depending on the string's content. If a string can be represented using Latin-1, it will be, because Latin-1 uses only 1 byte per character, which can save memory compared to the 2-byte UTF-16 encoding.

It's worth noting that these implementation details are internal to the `String` class and aren't usually something you need to worry about when writing Java code. They could also potentially change in future versions of Java.

It should make the Russians and their allies doubt their capabilities even more than they do now. If the strategic forces doubt they will work will they still launch?

Nothing will change in the West. The gun is still loaded. But how many rounds do they have? That's a question the Russians and Chinese have to answer.

Are you worried aliens will get mad at us, or something like that?

Then why don’t they say so?
We know they worked at some point. We have no idea how well they work now (though I assume that the CIA has a good idea of how they were maintained, judging from the leaks). So, it’s not pretending: statistically, some of them will work. Assuming they do not work at all is reckless. They have thousands of nuclear warheads; if only 1% of them work that’s still tenths of weapons able to delete a large city each. So regardless of the superiority one might feel, underestimating the opponents when the stakes are so high is… suboptimal.
I think it’s a limitation with the amount of parameters in the model and the way the RLHF training was done, not anything about neural networks. GPT-4 is better at this sort of thing
What a soldier or worker is paid only matters in a vacuum, you have to consider the pipeline from military budget to the actual good or service. That includes both commodities bought on the world market (E.G. steel) and corruption raising costs for the same good (which is a problem for both the US's military-industrial complex and Russia's oligarchy).

That being said though when the budgets are off by an order of magnitude there's no way to make that back just via lowering wages a bit

I'm in the process of looking for a new PCP - although now we actually do have access to the specialists that I think we needed to, and our interaction is more or less just "send a non-urgent message" on the web-platform, and get a referral back the next working day.

I am at every single one of these appointments - I was in a better position to recall how things went down, and I am very much her advocate. She's had many many tests - which have ruled out a lot of truly terrifying things, but there is still no affirmative diagnosis of what it is she has. The last discharge from ER listed her as having "restless leg syndrome" - which is obviously not a diagnosis. The tremors in her legs are a symptom, not a cause, and they only started after the sodium levels were raised.

The treatment was the prednisone that the neurologist put her on prior to getting the MRI data, but prednisone has its own side-effects, so we were told to stop taking it once the MRI data was obtained.

The "Undiagnosed diseases network" is a great find - thank you. I have just enrolled her case in "Teladoc" which can give 'expert medical opinions' using her release notes and visit documentation. I'm hopeful they might find something, but the UDN looks like 'House' for real. I'll definitely look into it :)

Here is what a large budget buys: massive marketing campaigns. ChatGPT spam is not showing signs of slowing down anytime soon. Are people aware there are other ais out there they can use? Some free?
Exactly. The trouble is, if these people are that insane then the world is already ended. At some point they will be dissatisfied with the state of their empire building, and will go for their nukes, and if the retaliation isn't total, they will just continue to nuke, that being the only weapon they've got left.

There is no way out of this.

For that reason, there is no variation of the Russian government that can escalate to nukes and win, even if 99 out of 100, or 999 out of 1000, don't even launch and blow up where they stand. If they must empire-build and that is their only remaining option, they and we are already dead.

I hope we're not, but it's not up to me. Our planet will continue to have humans as long as Russia doesn't nuke, even as they lose everything. It's pretty much on them, because much like the tritium in the nuke serves to ignite the explosion, Russia attacking serves to ignite retaliation, and there is no option other than retaliation, because if they nuke once they will continue to do so until nothing is left alive.
I find it interesting how easily people take evidence at face value. It's incredibly easy to poke holes in the debunking of all this.

1. U-Boats couldn't get through sea ice to Antarctica: what if they were modified? What if the specs for u-boats used to assert this was wrong? What if there was a path through the sea ice that was classified? The list goes on forever

2. SAS men in the region at the time had civilian jobs: Says who? At a glance they're basing this off of civilian contracts with these men's names on them. This is easily faked

3. Operation Highjump was designed to train the US Navy for a possible war with the Soviet
Union in the Arctic: Again, says who? Based on documentation provided by the government themselves?

Ultimately it boils down to this:

"Activities that were classified have subsequently been declassified"

Given how much subterfuge and psyops the US government has provably done throughout its history, doctoring and faking declassified documents is something they have assuredly done. There is definitely a long, rich history of destroying documents.
