ME: "Release of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from warming ocean sediments and decaying organic matter, a potential extinction event." Is this a realistic possibility?

GPT-4:

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) release from ocean sediments and decaying organic matter is indeed a plausible mechanism that could cause significant environmental changes. This process is often associated with a scenario referred to as "Canfield Oceans" or "Canfield Ocean events."

Paleontologist Peter Ward, for instance, has proposed that hydrogen sulfide emissions from stagnant oceans could have contributed to several mass extinction events in Earth's history. In such scenarios, increased oceanic warmth and decreased circulation might have led to anoxic conditions (lack of oxygen) in the deeper ocean. These anoxic conditions, in turn, would allow sulfur bacteria to thrive, which would generate hydrogen sulfide as a metabolic by-product. The hydrogen sulfide would then be released into the atmosphere, where it could cause significant environmental disruption, affecting life on both land and sea.

However, it is important to note that these scenarios are not straightforward, and various factors would need to align for such an event to occur. There are many potential feedback mechanisms in Earth's climate system that could either amplify or dampen the effects of increased hydrogen sulfide production.

In the context of contemporary climate change, we are indeed witnessing warming oceans and increases in oceanic dead zones (areas of low oxygen that can support sulfur bacteria). However, whether this could lead to an extinction-level hydrogen sulfide release is still a matter of scientific debate. Current research suggests that while an increase in anoxic conditions and dead zones is cause for concern due to their direct impact on marine life, a Canfield Ocean event is not considered a high-probability outcome of current climate change trends.
From the viewpoint of outcomes, everything beyond outputs is simply too obscured to make sense of.

I don't think that's always true but you definitely have a valid point in a lot of cases. For inputs I was thinking about stuff like measuring time spent on specific activities without reference to whether the employee had been set up to make good use of that time or whether those activities were themselves worthwhile. That would contrast with outputs like measuring a software developer's productivity by the classic lines of code metric or some modern version like number of commits per day. A developer working 80 hours/week and producing 1000 lines in 20 commits in that time will look great by those metrics but I'd rather hire the developer who would write only the 100 useful lines that would survive into production in 20 hours and 5 commits because they thought before they wrote.
You're expecting too much from a cheap card. AMD offers many 16GB cards, and used RTX 3090s (24GB) are very affordable and are the go to for AI.
>Why shouldn't the "productivity" of these staff be measured? Because you don't like it?

No one is arguing against this. Stop creating strawmen.

People are against draconian practices aimed at micromanaging people when data is already available, individuals are meeting targets or the targets aren't met due to something out of their control.

In the case of programming, if you have any decent system, you can query commit dates, opened bugs/features, closed bugs/features, time in meetings put on the public agenda, and more. None of this requires surveillance during the development process, only measuring inputs and outputs.

Your argument is circular.

Oklo's design is new. It's a fast reactor; out of about 400 reactors in operation worldwide, maybe 5 are fast reactors, all others are thermal reactors, the majority pressurized water reactors. NRC's experience with fast reactors is in consequence much more limited than their experience with PWR. A new Chernobyl type of accident for a radically new design is not at all inconceivable.

Even if the NRC did analyzed every single conceivable angle, a Chernobyl episode could still happen, because they are not aware of new angles, which would be discovered after years of operating the new type of design.

But one thing is needed: the applicant needs to commit every possible effort to show how the risk can be mitigated. And that's exactly what Oklo did not do. They submitted a 19-page document [1], which the NRC found lacking [2].

The NRC then appropriately gave them a failing grade, and told them to go home and do better next time.

What point are you trying to argue? That this design is safe anyway, because another Chernobyl is out of question?

You're moving the goalposts here. Rust is being used, in significant projects (eg: proxies at Cloudflare, a company where http is somewhat of a big deal: https://blog.cloudflare.com/introducing-oxy/ ; Dropbox's new sync algorithm, a company where file syncing id kind of a big deal : https://dropbox.tech/infrastructure/rewriting-the-heart-of-o...).

Equating the existence of unsafe with C is laughable imho (it'd be barely comparable even if 100% of the rust code was in unsafe blocs, which never happens). Not even then it doesn't matter for the original point : rust is used in production for business critical functions, in large companies.
ChatGPT and Bard Experience Coding
I have created a bulk short videos of 10 seconds. I used python with ChatGPT free version first and realized that it took me about 4 hours to get that code running. I used a CSV file to text overlay on one video and create another one. I'm addition I added a custom background music as well.
Problem I faced was the library it suggested was hard to install and configure which took time then multiple outdated and wrong syntax.

Over the time iterating the questions the code become more ugly had more bugs.

This finding was for me very different than I expected as long as the conversation goes it looses the efficiency of generating answer.

What is your experience in coding with chatGPT or Bard?
My apologies. Please take the first ":" of the first paragraph and replace it with the following string: " is as follows:".

the FDA face an unenviable challenge: how to promote healthcare innovation without endangering patients?

regulations that are too loose may cause suffering and death while regulations that are too strict will delay or block prevent helpful treatments.

regulating healthcare is extremely difficult and largely a thankless job.

one solution is to approach national healthcare like national security and let people volunteer for treatments like volunteering for the army.

in short, overstate risks but let patients decide.

adopt cigarette-simple consent forms that state in bold words that an experimental treatment is likely to cause death or crippling side-effects like paralysis, blindness, stroke, Alzheimer's, or worse.

perhaps require multiple signatories from family members to guard against irrational behavior.

this protects the FDA while minimizing barriers to innovative therapies and treatments.

> Bottom line up front: I think the solution is to let small groups of people most directly affected by a new development vote on the development. I think this would make it possible to buy them off, and win the support or compliance of the most motivated opponents of the things we need to build.

This shifts the problem from one place to another. Who do you decide gets to vote?

> I realise that this is a very vague categorisation. Who is to decide what “significant” losing out means here? Bear with me, but ultimately that is what I’m going to suggest is the big, interesting research question for anyone who wants to solve vetocracy.

Oh. So the solution is: I don't have a solution so I'm going to move the problem from one place to another and state that it is an interesting question for someone else to solve.

This goes on and on for a ridiculously long article stating how awesome this would be, if we could only accurately identify those affected by change. Sure. Just given a sufficiently smart compiler. Given an omnipotent genie. We can all solve all of the problems when we bury them in some impossible wish.

All we need are the right people to vote. None of the wrong people. And then we can bribe the right people to vote the right way. Then democracy will work. /sarcasm

If your solution to vetocracy is to limit democracy then you aren't using democracy. Democracy becomes subordinate to the mechanism you are using to define the limit. At that point, the mechanism that determines that limit becomes your solution. So hand-waving it away as "an interesting research problem" means that you haven't solved anything at all. You could just as well get rid of democracy and keep only the mechanism of limit and the bribes.
Casually eyeballing the results, one thing that stands out to me is that the empirical winning chances for stronger (higher Elo) players are actually better than the "normative" winning chances the Elo algorithm was designed to converge on. I wonder if that pattern holds up under scrutiny? It might be an interesting anomaly to explore, at any rate.

Milk-V Duo is a $9.00 RISC-V tiny embedded computer
Price plus shipping and taxes; still interesting nonetheless.

Also FTA:
> The Wiki pages for this device describes that the “Milk-V Duo includes CV1800B chip with a 100Mbps PHY.
PHY is linked to a 5-pin solder pad, Additionally, an external transformer and a RJ45 socket are needed for Ethernet use.”

I don't see the lack of transformer a problem for various reasons. Driving an Ethernet transformer requires some current, and it can be avoided completely when making point to point connections between two boards on the same system, or using switch chips (also without magnetics) to connect more boards in a star scenario such as a small cluster.

Oh, ya, there is definitely some organized crime mixed into it, and the fences for stolen goods need to be dealt with. But frankly, it doesn't require a lot of organization when the police are being so lack on their enforcement (mostly because they are understaffed, not because they are lazy or anything). Anyone can do property crime, and there are lots of avenues to convert booty into some cash.

> Mainly, what I'm saying is when someone has demonstrated reform we need to stop punishing them at some point.

Sure, but we aren't asking for that anymore. Its like...ok treatment, but if you don't take it, you still get to walk, so why bother? Jail isn't in the cards anymore unless you at least bash someone's head in, and even then its questionable. Also, our system now seems to be based on financial disincentives (e.g. you get your car towed if you park illegally) and that really doesn't matter to someone who has nothing to lose (e.g. the towing companies won't go near certain vehicles because they know they are never getting paid). We need to do everything possible, maybe throw most of our resources at, people getting to a point that they have nothing to do lose (e.g. make sure felons after jail/prison have a way forward that they don't want to lose).

In my country, 85% of the press is from the left.

if a leftist comedian makes a joke, nothing happens.
If a right-wing comedian makes the same joke, he could be sued.

This happened several times.

Someone relatively famous on the left came out as a pedophile, he confessed in an audio. The left was very worried that he was going to commit suicide...

The same does not happen when some famous pedophile is from the extreme right...

The left is against any arrest of homeless drug addicts. They don't try to treat these people, I saw a video on the left teaching how to use crack, taking care of your health, not using soda cans, because the paint on the can (!) is bad for you.

Of course the solution for homeless addicts is to kill everyone, for the alt-right.

Our former president is right-wing. "An anti-scientific and anti-ecological president"

The current president is leftist. With the same anti-scientific and anti-ecological ideas, BUT NOW he is right.

And between these two idiotic views, nothing is fixed.

My country has many basic problems such as hunger, security and basic health. But people in power are arguing about pronouns and shit.

Yeah, you can argue about anything, but for me, with decades of watching this shit, it's not about arguing about pronouns, or... it's about doing nothing about real issues.

Nothing about this is new, it's just weirder than in the past.
By the way... The USB-C standard goes up to 240 Watts.

Thats 48 volts (fairly safe IMO) at 5 amps (only marginally safe IMO, on that connector design).

There are laws in many countries capping voltages, but not on currents - which is why the standard is pushing the safety envelope there!

The standard has no way to detect damaged cables (ie. baby chewing through the cable), nor connections getting hot (ie. an old dirty connection heating up and catching fire). But I suspect a future revision will allow both more volts and more amps, and will add those safety features - I'm hoping on the next version being 500 volts and 8 amps, allowing it to replace all household outlets.
There's also the added failure mode of a PSU deciding it needs to supply 20V to a device that can only withstand 5V.

Broadcom doesn't put chips "in the wild", which leads you to the paradox that is RPI. It was a scrap chip that Upton made into a cheap educational computer, the rest of you ran off with it as a supercheap COTS computing module and now nobody can figure out how to ship their products without it. Or, most distinctly, nobody wants to believe that the RPI isn't subsidized and all SoCs are this cheap.

Broadcom doesn't deal with small fish, much less hobbyists. I've dealt with their products working for a large product maker and it wasn't any better on that side of the fence.
As a recent grad, I can speak on this a bit:

My biggest problem with the current textbook industry (among many) is that each textbook manufacturer uses their own proprietary format for reading the books and doing assignments. Wiley and Sons uses WileyPlus which, in its original incarnation, used Flash until the very last day Flash was officially supported. Don't want a potential security hole installed onto your laptop? Too bad, transfer to a different school because this one has been bought out by Wiley and Sons. And the interface was absolutely horrid. If you were doing division in their math website and entered a "/", they never set up the Javascript to state you were typing in a textbox so Firefox would open the "search this page" prompt.

This system made doing my homework more frustrating, not less. I dreaded doing math homework every day from age 16-20, not because I didn't want to learn, but because I was constantly fighting WileyPlus' "quirks" instead of just doing the math.

All of these websites, not WileyPlus alone, also have horrible uptime. There were often times I had pressing homework to do and would be met with a "Servers are down for maintenence" screen. Since the textbook publishers cut predatory deals with the universities, professors are completely unable to switch to another publisher if these availability problems get out of hand. This leads to worse education outcomes, frustration with the professors who are constantly wrestling with the website, and students being forced to take out predatory loans to pay for these horrible books.

I do not miss college.
