I tried Blinkist which seems relevant to the strategy proposed. I listened to summaries of a couple of books I had in fact read and found the summaries superficial and probably focused as much on what people said the book said as what it actually said. I imagine Chatgpt will do the same right now due to available sources of information.
Wikimedia, as you may have noticed, is not a university.
The vast majority of scientific literature suggests the disruptive changes will, at any point, outweigh the benefits of a warmer climate, and thats the conservative best case scenario, assuming we don't trip any "tipping points."
Can somebody enlighten me as to why the native tribes are considered a large user of water? The article mentions them as a part of this agreement a few times, but not why they would have a more significant impact on the water use than any other town or city (assuming when they say tribes they mean the reservations).

Perhaps that's not how it works in the US? Or are they saying agriculture by the native tribes, and therefore that is considered different from non-tribe agriculture?
I have a hard time tracking income of a software product to specific employee contribution, unless it's a solo enterprise, which is rare and fraught with its own issues. Who's responsible for a piece of income? The original software author? The maintenance SWE? The SRE? The PM that identified the market opportunity? The exec that signed off the funds for the whole thing?
No, spinning is an accelerated reference frame. If you spin on a carousel, you won’t feel the same as standing still.

Now what does it mean for a black hole, which we assume to be a singularity occupying no space at all, to be spinning? We don’t know. That’s one of the gaps in our theory. But as the collapsed remnants of an object that was spinning, they should have done residual angular momentum.
Normally by convincing VCs that the company is worth the money of your inflated salaries and after X years they will make it back. Not many people out here are investing out of good will.
I have decided to undertake a complete revamp of one of my projects by exclusively utilizing AI-generated content, and there are a few compelling reasons behind this choice. Firstly, the outcome is remarkably versatile and outperforms my own contributions. Secondly, I have no reservations about openly sharing the code with others. And lastly, the process of infusing each function and package with my own touch of visionary flair has proven to be an immensely enjoyable pursuit.
The textbook industry seems like a racket that the old Italian Mafia would come up with.
Interesting. But I don't understand why "first in time" applies to states downstream of the source. The water started as ice melt in Colorado's mountains. So why isn't Colorado "first in time?" Is it because in the case of Colorado building a dam, they'd be utilizing the water (instead of just letting it flow), but Arizona was utilizing it before them (by pumping from it to drink)? And if that's the case, then surely Colorado can apply the same logic so long as they have some water facilities powered by the upstream flow? Also, Colorado was settled as a state before Arizona (IIRC), so they must have been using the water before anyone in Arizona was.
While I'm sure it is sarcastic it's worth noting that most (all?) blockchain wallets already do this.

Technically it's in reverse: the seed is random and then serialized into a human readable seed phrase but the deterministic key generation is already widely deployed.

There's no publicity needed to contradict a paper which wasn't publicized in the first place.
Not a physicist, but no.

An object can spin relative to itself. Particles away from the center are constantly accelerating. Gravity or physical connection are the forces that prevent these particles from flying away.

Thinking about it, I am not even sure an object can spin relative to another object. Orbit sure, but not spin.
The complex view is that more humans die from cold than heat until they don't, and more start dying from heat than cold.

And that people also die of starvation, cancers from fossil fuel extraction and a plethora of other things.
Land eventually exert pressure in the form of property taxes. For water rights there's no such thing.

In general, I feel like humans should not "own" natural resources. You can rent it from society, which is how I view property taxes, even though that's not exactly what they are.

I also don't think they should be arbitrarily seized. According to the article, some of the water reductions are being compensated for monetarily. I don't know the whole story there though.

AFAIK, you can't legally just buy a farm in the imperial valley and say you're going to use that water for residents in Arizona. Rights are based upon the use case.
This comment is an exquisite demonstration of the limits of first-order thinking.
Globalism prevent wars by making countries dependant to each others (Montesquieu Doux commerce theory).

Globalism permits to all countries around the globe to develop.

Nobody is preventing these countries to set laws about environment and working condition (which they actually do).

And by the way, I invite you to go to these countries and visit the factories there, and you will realize that western companies are raising standards (security and quality) on their suppliers.
Requiring an up to date textbook for math is just absurd. Pretty much anything you learn on an undergraduate math course hasn't changed for 100 years (and that's definitely true of Calculus I material).
The actual quote is:

"Part and parcel of living in a great global city is you have to be prepared for these things. You have to be vigilant."

The context was talking about working with other big cities, specifically New York as it was just before a meeting with Bill de Blasio to talk about cross-training and information exchange.
I’m sure the fine folks at Агентство интернет-исследований aren’t having a hard time coming up with ideas.
Update: Rounded corners are in now!

You can add a cornerRadius query parameter, which can take four possible values: s, m, l, or a number in pixels.

A few examples:

https://badgers.space/badge/look/I'm%20slightly%20rounded?co...

https://badgers.space/badge/look/I'm%20rounded?cornerRadius=...

https://badgers.space/badge/look/I'm%20even%20more%20rounded...

In general, I'd recommend going with s or m. Anything larger than l will look weird, and anything less than s will be barely noticeable.

The actual values are: s: 2px, m: 4px, l: 6px.
Explain what about thermodynamics allows for a closed system to progress forward in time without increasing disorder please.

Or are you proposing we export the disorder to outer-space? If so that’s a plan I’d love to hear.
For many of us, work is partly motivated by the desire to avoid making other people carry our weight. Do you not see anything virtuous about that?
The solution appears to be rather simple here. Just establish "office hours" and put them in the calendar or something. These are times when you will be available to answer any questions. Otherwise, unless a true emergency comes up, it's focus time.
I have physics, math and chemistry books from 30+ years ago that are not lacking at all in content. I truly do not understand why it is that, in the US, most science books aren't 100% free all the way from K through graduate school.

In fact, my kids have used my old books to help them with AP Physics in high school. They tell me they like the lower content of distracting color-filled "circus acts" (as they call it) and better explanations.

How much of the math, physics and chemistry has changed? I would guess, depending on stage of learning and subject, somewhere between 0% and 10% (with 10% possibly being an exaggeration). It is nothing less than ridiculous that students have to buy books on Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, etc. for $60 or more.

This is the kind of thing that really gets me going about just how badly our system of education has derailed in some areas. Most school books, at a national level, should be freely available and used year over year, preferably in electronic form.

What is wrong with a, let's call it, federally publish set of books covering the sciences and other subjects? They could be evolved over time.

I know these things exist in various forms, we simply don't seem to lay down the law and use them. CK-12 used to be about books, now they seem to have expanded beyond that:

What's wrong with these books?

Although most countries end up rewriting their constitutions every now again, just look at Chile now, or even France since WW2. Very few, maybe no countries have a constitution as set and inflexible as the US.
No, I’m not moving goalposts. I’m telling you why Russia fights where it fights. And Ukraine largely not daring to attack supply lines in Russia proper is of course part of the calculus.
> Ukrainians talk big and pull the occasional stunt but they know better than to attack Russia proper.

Russia claims that the Donbas (and Crimea) is “Russia proper”, and also, well, just now: https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/22/europe/belgorod-ukrainian-for...
My country does not have a 1st amendment, but ok?

My country does not have free speech. It has some of the most stringent copy right laws in the world. It also has defamation laws that have been used to suppress truthful reports.

Police are allowed to hold you indefinitely with no justification. (Technically they are limited to 30days) They are allowed, and constantly refuse to allow you access to a legal representative.

They are allowed to force you to confess to a crime you never committed.

Politicians get away with corruption, and secure votes through the use of cults.

I know what it looks like when the current dominating party was created by a literal Class A Warcriminal from WW2.

These anti- encryption laws make life even worse. The last thing we have here is a semblance of privacy.

I do not want, or need 1st world countries such as Britain or Spain to give an example for my government to follow.
> So, yeh, success to the successful. Who needs teachers or GPs anyway, right?

You are wrongly framing the builder as the bad guy, and not the homeowners that lobby for SFZ that causes a scarcity of flats which then causes the possibility for abnormal profits. Study the causality and place the blame at the correct place if you want to enact real change instead of just making people angry.
I know how to program. I understand lisp. What I have problems with are all the built in functions and variables in emacs-lisp. It has dramatically improved the readability of my emacs configuration and also taught me about some new ways to do stuff in emacs (and when to stop because I can’t do something).
Well technically no black holes have ever been directly detected.

Well yes, we tried once "fixing" it with communism, which simply dictated values for things like salaries and forcibly assigned jobs. And communist economies fell apart because of the horrific inefficiencies and inflexibilities.

If you want to fix it, I'd ask you this: suppose there are 20 million people who know how to code worldwide. But that if coders were paid the same as bus drivers, there would be 100 million coding positions available worldwide. How do you decide which one-fifth of companies get coders, and which four-fifths go without?

Currently we allocate the fifth to the companies who want to pay the most*, because we've decided that's where they're most helpful in general, because those are the companies building the most potentially profitable products that provide the most economic efficiency (lower prices and/or higher value for consumers). And this is why coders are paid more than bus drivers.

So what's the alternative allocation you're suggesting? To achieve what alternative goal? Because it's not helpful to say "it is a problem that can be fixed" if you don't also provide the fix.

* There can also be non-monetary factors (nice office environment, purposeful mission, good vibe with team) but they can be converted into estimated monetary values for purposes of comparison -- it doesn't change the argument
I use to think it was narcissism of small differences, Sino-sphere cultures hating on each other but from what I hear in Vietnam, they're jerks to everyone. Even PRC firms in Viet did not seem to have _that_ bad of reputation to work for.

> India System

Does lobbying power from Tata or Adani influence over said politics? Seems like they have competence and connections to take over failed foreign ventures. Not implying it's coordinated, but domestic players have a lot to gain. And probably better cultural experience to run these operations after capital is setup in country. I imagine Indian chaebols have more ability to control unrest, vs in PRC tight relationship with Foxconn essentially delegates crowd control to compliant local govs.

This is first article I found: https://www.deccanherald.com/business/business-news/why-mncs...

>A slew of big names including German retailer Metro AG, Swiss building-materials firm Holcim, US automaker Ford, UK banking major Royal Bank of Scotland, US bikemaker Harley-Davidson and US banking behemoth Citibank have chosen to pull the plug their operations in India or downsize their presence here in recent years.

I think SKR took over the GM plant. I'm pretty sure JP expansion in India stalled last few years during covid but reporting last few months seems like SKR + JP is going to give it another go. If they can make it work long term, and hopefully they can, good on them.
There's a very large difference and lots of possible expressible dynamics between "no entropy increase" and "lots of entropy increase".

Keep showing us how little you know about the topics on which you comment.

PS the Earth is not a closed system either. The incident sunlight is the only thing that keeps the Earth warm at the macro scale, and energy radiates back out mostly in the infrared range. The amount of greenhouse gases can differ and the global temperature will differ as a result.

Yes, this is what Ur/Web does albeit this is limited to Web Server requests. I'd argue all programs could be short lived and memory management becomes a matter of sizing program's scope/role to the amount of memory you can greedily consume. Certainly many sorting program (for e.g.) can leak until they terminate. Then, cheap instantiation and communication between programs.
Well, maybe we could limit this by having a list of preset actions that the LLM can take and those actions can contain canned responses based on templates. This way we can make a chat bot with a LLM model that never sends its output to the user. For some applications, this might be enough, since you still get the amazing interpretation abilities of a LLM.
The LeCun's and Bengio's of the world build the AI equivalent of Formula 1 race cars - absolute bleeding edge technology, every part understood and optimized for peak performance and efficiency. ChatGPT is a Honda family car. It might not be theoretically perfect but it will get your kids to school. The best and brightest minds of almost any field tend to underestimate how much of life is best served by a Hatchback.

There is a horrible bug on the rotations. When rotated, the pieces are also flipped.
And does our specific position on that gradient matter, at all?

Again, I’d love to hear your explanation of how we’re exporting this entropy. Black body radiation? I don’t think that’ll be enough.
Also, consider a hive in which all foraging bees exclusively followed waggle dances. Pretty obviously they would eventually all end up going to the same place and the hive would run out of food. Therefore it makes sense that at least some bees should ignore the waggle dance at least some of the time. But it doesn't have to be the same bees each time, and the article doesn't present any evidence that it is.
It's not that people aren't believing you or that it's not true, it's that it doesn't apply to the conversation at hand and so completely misses the point that it's kind of baffling that anyone would arrive at your conclusion that it's this simple with a straight face.

The reality is that it isn't hot vs cold, it's all of the things climate change are affecting -- hotter weather, yes, but colder weather too, less predictable weather, more extreme/frequent storms and natural disasters, crop failures, the associated geopolitical fallout, loss of habitable land, water shortages, and the countless downstream effects of all of the above and more. And I'm pretty sure that all those things are deadly.

Also, putting literally all of that aside, hot weather kills people too, so if it even were as simple as "hot vs cold," more frequent and hotter hot weather would also kill more people too. Look up wet-bulb temperature if you'd like to find a new source of nightmares.

The fact that you apparently don't see any of this and just think "hot = better because more people die from cold weather than hot" is why you're getting downvoted to oblivion. It's a surprisingly braindead argument even by HN's all-too-frequent "can't see the forest for the trees" lapses in judgement.
> You could say the same about any professional.

False.
Do you work 2 jobs to maximize your income or do you have nights and weekends off? If not, how do you explain that trade off to your student debt collection agency?
I don't know, but they're exiting the business anyway. The article also mentions Foxconn and Luxshare, which are Chinese.
To be fair management not knowing what you were doing was probably not sustainable.

Though strangely most additions have focused on giving management more control, not more understanding.
Compare the infinite set of integers to the infinite set of reals. Infinite sets can be subsets of much larger infinite sets.

Also, density is mass divided by volume. You have two variables to play with.

But all of this detracts from the notion that infinity and singularity may have no physical analog. They're mathematical constructs.
It's not a closed system, we import massive amounts of energy from the sun every day. Some of it escapes back into space, depending on the atmosphere/albedo/etc.

Anyways, how do you think radiators work on space stations?
That's very cool! were there any particular techniques that you remember that were helpful?
Looks like the exploit requires physically opening the phone and attaching a cable to the phone motherboard/fingerprint reader chip.
The UK has the third largest tech industry, only after the continental-scale megastates of the US and China.
The webpage context vuln demo against bing is hilarious. I had semantic web browser context via Chrome Debug Protocol and its Full Accessibilty Tree ready a month or two ago but decided not to put it in anything precisely because of prompt injection like this. I don't think these can be tamed in the way they need to be to be productized, especially not in the way big companies want. That's not to say they're useless, though.

You can also hook yourself up to the websocket and see that their solution to similar problems of prompt injection, bad speak, etc. is to revoke output of responses. It'll generate, but it has another model watching, and it'll take over once it detects "bad thing" (and end the conversation totally on the front-end. but it'll still keep generating, till about 20 messages in, and then the confabulation gets to be a bit much and/or the context just disappears and it just keeps responding as if it's the first message, with no context.)
As you live your life, you are always developing habits. If you live promiscuously, you are training yourself to be incompatible with marriage.
There are frameworks out there for doing that kind of thing, see https://rasa.com/ for example. It's not using any LLMs at the moment, just BERT and DIET mostly but it's highly customizable and you could likely bring in an LLM for doing some interesting things to handle more complex messages from users.
Except mercantilist and imperialist societies got their way through violence. They didn't really have "business partners" to squeeze in a modern sense. They had subjects they would steal from and oppress. Capitalism was supposed to be different. Apple notably doesn't have a standing army bigger than the US like the East India Company did in relation to England. If the results end up looking similar, that is a huge indictment of the system.
Not really related, but the feeling of elation when I alloc'd 1M of RAM in OS/2 and it _didn't_ swap changed me.

This was on a 386sx with 8M RAM and it was pretty much all the available memory after the OS was loaded and settled down.

A MILLION BYTES!!

Didn't do anything with it, but still, after DOS and EMS/XMS memory and all the other falderol of managing memory. (At the time, it was also the only x86 OS that would format a floppy drive without bringing all the other threads to a crawl. UI was still available-ish, BiModem was still BiModeming...
The earth isn't a closed system. It receives energy from the sun which can be used to decrease entropy here on earth. Like an organism receiving energy from eating other organisms can regulate its own entropy. Sure you can't escape entropy because the sun will eventually die too, but that's a while away.
So you’re saying we’re doomed to an increasingly unpredictable and disorderly existence, regardless of our actions?

I agree.
