Big projects and education require copying ideas from one brain to another. Language is a good medium for doing that, much better than improvised gestures. But words and ideas must be different things, or nothing read could ever be misunderstood, and no one would ever be at a loss for words.

When I imagine a tree, I get the image and the feel and the scent, the qualia. Hearing the word “pine” for the first time did not make me smell anything. I had to learn to associate those syllables with my memories of pine trees, and they only work between me and other people who have done that.

One of my customers used email (a gmail account, no less) as a message queue between their front end site and the back-office processor. This worked quite well for close to a decade I think.

It basically evolved from when applications from their original customer facing site were emailed and manually entered into the back-office system by a human. They were looking to automate this with a minimum of changes to too many of the moving parts at once, so I reformatted the sent email to contain an XML payload so the new back-office automation could read and process it (and in a pinch, a human could still review any problem applications) using Java's mail APIs.

Things evolved, the front-end web site got replaced with a Wordpress site, but the email message queue kept working for a long time. In the last year or so it was getting more and more onerous though. Reconciling information between the front-end and the mail box showed not all emails were being delivered, and authentication to gmail was becoming more and more of a burdensome moving target.

I just recently replaced the whole thing with an API call made from the back-office to the Wordpress site to access the stored data. (The original site didn't store, just emailed, which was why this was not an option historically.)
This makes the reasonable observation that copyright, like other kinds of property, is a social technology. It’s very reasonable to ask if the machine could be improved with shorter periods of monopoly or with a smaller bundle of rights.

I wouldn’t jump all the way to concluding that destroying copyright wouldn’t have ill effect though. The concept was created to incentivize and monetize creative production. There is a Chesterton’s fence prohibition against tearing up the incentive machine without knowing exactly what would replace it.

The Vietnamese have been expanding wind and solar power generation, but transmission is a serious problem. Vietnam's grid is congested and has poor connectivity with neighboring countries, which limits their ability to integrate renewables into their power grid.[1] This is something the international community can and should help with.

Full lifecycle integration of our technology into F500 companies to deliver cloud services to their end-customers. Think Rackspace, GoDaddy, Sprint, Comcast, AT&T and two dozen of their peers across the EU and APAC.

The average sales cycle was 9-18 months, and the average GTM was ~9 months. Technically I was in a partnerships role and I was supposed to work with our dept heads to align with our partner's dept heads for sales, support, product, legal, etc.

But because I joined earlier than all of our department heads and worked with the CEO to develop the program, was closer to the requirements, and they weren't KPI'd on these partnerships / had their own problems, they were happy to let me do most of the work.

I was 26 when I joined and the folks I worked with were 10 - 25 years older. I pitched SVPs, negotiated legal agreements, wrote API integration specs, did on-sites, repped us at industry conferences, product managed packages, trained sales and support teams, etc.

You would be right if 1. there were any reason to believe that Starlink would be increasing capacity 2. the hundreds of millions of dollars of premium were "reasonable" to build that increased capacity.

But I don't see much sign of increased capacity (they may have built an extra ground station somewhere) certainly not anywhere near hundreds of millions of dollars worth. And I'm not even sure it is possible to increase capacity: The constraint is probably the satellite to ground bandwidth which you can increase by adding satellites but not in a specific area because they are LEO.

> Food is fairly inexpensive as well

Really? I admit that this is anecdotal, but as an American when I studied abroad in Europe I was consistently pleasantly surprised by how much less expensive eating out was. In particular I felt like it was much more affordable to get healthier food at restaurants compared to the US, and also much cheaper to get alcohol drinks at restaurants. There were a few exceptions (Copenhagen, Paris) but even major cities like Rome, Munich, & Barcelona had pretty well priced restaurants (which included tip).
I have always been slightly annoyed that the RP2040 didn't feature a RISC-V core to being with, with a 2nd gen that includes the privilege mode specification. RP2040 as it stands is nearly capable of being "learned completely" and providing something like an OS, but having a hardware MMU really makes a different experience. Of course, the ARM architecture has an MMU spec too, but I've got a soft spot for RISC-V.

> only one kid at a time or I sell the trampoline" does help a lot (it's what I did).

As a kid who grew up with a trampoline in the backyard (and who had 4 other friends w trampolines as well), I never would have used it if that was the rule. 90% of the fun was jumping w other kids, whether it was playing basketball, tag, or just double jumping. Did kids get a little hurt sometimes, sure. But it all in the vein of “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” one kid did crack a front tooth once but that was the worst of it.

> With regard to conservative voice (as a former liberal) I can tell you it’s the left voice that doesn’t understand the conservatives and the value they bring.

As a recovering conservative (of 25 adult years) I can offer that any deafness is not only mutual, one side is currently bullhorning it as a virtue. As far as bolstering our energy supply, it isn't at all clear how revenge-based, hostility-flavored culture wars achieve this.

My observation is that one side has conjured up a boogey man from the worst possible perceptions of the other and now models all of it's own behavior on it. I can not see how this advances one worthwhile goal.
As OP notes, though, textbooks aren't mandatory costs. A few classes will actually use the books extensively. Most others will deliver all the information in the lecture, with the textbook being referenced in the syllabus and never talked about again.

I'm an auditory learner who only ever used the books when there were homework problems out of them. I saved a ton of money in college by getting good at guessing which types of classes/professors would actually require the book, and I would not have appreciated seeing the books bundled with tuition.

I knew the researchers at AS a decade or so ago and they were absolutely unhappy and in fact miserable that people kept making up lies about this or intentionally (and even unintentionally) misrepresenting what they were doing, in terms of research and policy.
Taking the site at face value, the claim is removal (not offsets). However, even at face value, the amount of carbon removed is far less than what has been sold.

(I agree that offsets seem unhelpful at best, just not sure it's worth deep diving on that when this isn't obviously about offsets.)

What is the perf of GPT4 vs GPT3.5 in the 'reasoning', 'reflection', 'critisism' and 'resolver' tasks like in your project? I see that you have commented out gpt3.5 and replaced with GPT4 in config yaml. Was GPT3.5 perf too bad? I don't think many people have GPT4 API access. If this requires atleast GPT4 to be effective, it might take a while before anyone else in the community can take it up.

fold is a natural consequence of church lists, probably the most fundamental way of expressing the list abstraction:

\f \x (f a0 (f a1 (f a2 x)))

So fold is just applying a list (function) to 2 arguments. Or you can be helpful and make something like fold := \f \x \l l f x which is useful for binding the f and the x and applying to multiple lists (everything is Curried of course)

LISP is not quite based on lambda calculus, so it should be no surprise it doesn't quite get reduce(i.e. fold) right.

See also church numerals, which are like lists but without the elements, they also have a 'fold':

\f \x f (f (f x))) == 3

We can make trees! Which again also have a 'fold'

\f \x f a0 (x a1) (f a2 (x a3) (x a4))

And many other more exotic folding data structures.
I mean, I think there have been plenty of examples of new moderation teams being able to kill popular subreddits. So I do think there's a good chance that the option is illusory. The subreddit will die if you piss off all of the moderators at the same time and it kind of doesn't matter if it's through a protest you won't listen to or by firing them.

Is there a difference between removal and offsets? I tried to research the consensus but couldn't find anything. For instance the dashboard shows Microsoft purchase 2,819,637 tons of 'removed carbon' - surely to offset their own activities no? Am I missing something obvious, or is this just re-branded carbon offsets?

Although I agree with much of what he says, it seems like Rowan Atkinson is unfamiliar with Popper's Paradox of Intolerance.

Yes, about 1990 one could show up at a copy shop on Rte. 1 in College Park, Maryland, mention course number and section, and get a fat stack of photocopied material. I believe that I purchased the ones I did during the last year or two such such packs were available: after that, the publishers leaned on schools to make the professors stop providing them.

I think the conceptual ideal of the offsets marketplace is that it is equivalent to removal, but in practice, I don't think it lives up to that. E.g., as a sketchy offset seller, one can sell the promise not to cut down the same tree repeatedly and that dilutes the carbon offset. Or sell credits against a forest you weren't going to harvest anyway.

Removing carbon seems fundamentally different -- if the carbon is actually removed as sold, and measured correctly.

(What Microsoft is doing isn't selling into the offsets marketplace.)

I disagree with your sort of moral argument against buying offsets / removal. I think it's fine to pressure companies into paying for externalities (either via ESG shareholder advocacy or regulation) and this is just one flavor of that.

Right. I guess what I mean about "product of their funding model" is that you do not get a seamless, joined-up-design product at this price point, with that much community buy-in, that much documentation etc., without the Raspberry Pi's origin story.

Any number of companies have tried to do this and failed, because you don't get to _here_ by just launching a new commercial, cost-effective, powerful small product and hoping it gets supported. You get to what the Pi is now by starting the way they did.

It sometimes surprises me that the US market, with its many tech billionaires, has not managed to achieve anything similar. To the point that at least one US tech billionaire (Eric Schmidt) has backed the Pi Foundation instead, because it's doing the actual work.

I don't have an academic background, and I'll agree that the majority of books I have picked up have covered the subject very well. It's a pretty common technique though, for assembly and for bytecode, so I've learned by reading implementations. `peephole.c` in CPython is particularly easy to read with a small understanding of the CPython API. It's a very limited implementation, but the idea goes far. Lots of things that you might expect the compiler to optimize in IR can be done directly from the bytecode instead.
As somebody that grew up in Iceland but live in the US now, the Icelandic health care system might be bad, and is definitely getting worse, and the main reason for that being that it is severely underfunded (and the main reason for that is the Independence Party [See your post above]), but compared to the US system it is still heaven.
> there should be no restraints on free speech.

There are always restraints on speech, and it's silly to pretend there aren't. The classic example is yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theatre, but threats, blackmail, and slander are all forms of speech with serious restrictions on them. Forms of speech that endanger or coerce other people are not free. The same could be argued about hate speech: speech that creates a hostile environment for vulnerable groups, and often ends up silencing them (thereby effectively restricting their speech).
In lieu of this, do we have a benchmark of the best open source models?

You should probably add an example for using the special commands '.critic' '.resolve' commands that you are projecting as the key 'spice' of your project. There is no 'how to use' or 'how it works' provided for these special commands in your readme.md. One would have to walk through the entire code to hopefully get an idea. I went through the main script - I have an idea on the overall flow, but I still don't know how these special commands work. Other people might also run into the same issue. So, additional documentation can help
