Well, it doesn't really matter – my main complaint was that the title was editorialized in a way that I personally wouldn't appreciate for my own article, but now the article title changed and the submitter may be the article author (not entirely clear). I would have deleted my previous post if I could.

That should make it pretty straightforward, no?

It's a simplistic viewpoint that misses a lot of factors.

You can't really understand the conflict, where it might go and how it might end if you don't under the history of the region, what drives each state, and what their aims are.

It's like saying "iPhone sells well because it's a better phone". That's true, but tells you nothing.
Oh sure, but I was responding to the comment above saying that desktop users in general shouldn't care about power consumption. That's too broad.
The crash could still happen one day after you put the last dollar in. If you can’t handle such a crash, you need to invest less in stock all the time, not just for a few weeks/months after receiving a windfall.
Yes, I was only copying the hyperbolic language of the parent commenter.
If you have a long time horizon and invest in a broad-based index fund, why do you even care about short term volatility? If you need to withdraw money within the next few years, then yes volatility matters. But in that case, you might be better off not investing in stocks and go with less risky stuff.
In the guest, you trap on reading emulation state, so that the source of truth is the hardware. Rather than use something like KVM I wonder if you could run another child process and use P trace?

I think a simpler explanation is one that’s missing from a lot of the conversations on this. Huffman is singularly focused on pumping up the valuation for Reddit’s upcoming IPO. All other considerations are secondary. He doesn’t care about the users. He doesn’t care about third-party developers. He doesn’t care about the long-term survival of the platform. He’s just razor focused on his big payday.
I don't see why Nature is obligated to publish you, free expression or not.
Was thinking about this with my SO doing fiber arts today.

Was thinking about a small 2d scanner/ccd camera in the profile of a SpO2 sensor. Connects with Bluetooth. Would take pictures of garments, fabric, yarn, etc for purposes of color matching in a store.

The app would have color calibration with white LEDs. 2 main functions: "store" and "match". Store would allow storing color samples. Match would show the samples you have and %fit to the stored sample/samples.

Could easily integrate with online stores for matching colors as well.

But yeah, I don't have the capital to do this. Maybe someone else can run with it.
I can tell you didn't read the article.

> Apart from in articles that are specifically about AI, Nature will not be publishing any content in which photography, videos or illustrations have been created wholly or partly using generative AI, at least for the foreseeable future.

Plus in this very article they have a photo containing AI-generated art, but it's done in a way that is obvious - it's a photo of a user using DALL-E with appropriate credit.
It really depends on what you're doing. In my experience it's quite common for moderately complex python web services to be mostly CPU bound if you put the database server on the same machine.

If you're talking to a regular sql database you'll usually find the database itself limits concurrency so there's little advantage to async io over threading. You really only see the advantage of async io in proxy like scenarios or where you're managing thousands of long lived connections (web sockets etc.)

Some generative AI tools let you input a base image to work off of. You can definitely use generative AI for just sharpening in these tools.
Plenty of people come into windfalls, say from selling a home, selling company stock, a inheritance, a gift, etc.

Another good example is cargo ships. Making those electric would be expensive and use a lot of cargo space. Hydrogen is lower density than bunker fuel but better than batteries. It should be possible to retrofit hydrogen engines to existing ships unlike using kites.

Love this comment. It elegantly captures something that most of us know, but is very hard to express.
For me, I loved the idea of WIP in the agile system we adapted at one workplace:

Instead of one thing, we would allow up to two WIP projects per person, but there was a priority and a follow-up.

I still do this day to day with Trello.

I have a "Doing" column and what's on top is what I'm doing. Besides procrastination, I don't allow myself to do anything else until that's done. Sometimes I add a checklist inside that Trello card if it's a more complex task, then check off tasks one by one.

The second card can be worked on if absolutely necessary (like lining up a meeting or working on some background that's required a month beforehand).
This wreaks of performative grandstanding.

Dictating the tools that artists use for a commission is punitive and moralizing.

There’s time value of money. For the DCA and LS the post compares investing money to accrue rate of return vs just keeping most in cash. Of course, given that stocks in average go up, it’s best to invest as soon as possible.
I wonder how we are protecting the public square for or against private interests?
I think is more exhausting using platforms and syndication to promote ideologies that claim to cause harm (but mostly only to those who are successful, while also mostly being used by those who are successful) so thus it should be limited or controlled, though AI has the most value for those who they wish to control as it makes tasks accessible to those with out. To me its more like the people in power fighting to keep that power, of which I could give no shits about. Only thing I could say at this point to those who are still putting up a fight, deal with it. This is a matter of making things accessible, not a matter of who has the most talent. They would like you to think they are more worthy of making art than you. I'd be more worried about that.
Good for them! I'm glad we're starting to see some pushback against the shady practices vendors of this tech employ regarding their datasets. I hope someone figures out how to maintain and apportion attribution (even if it's as awkward as eg. list the million images that contribute >X% to a given result).
I'm peripherally involved in this scene. The answer is that the journals don't want processed images, but of course the scientist doesn't always know what kind of processing happened to the image en route to their display and file system. The idea is that an image supposedly constitutes "data" and as such, should represent raw data.

Also, what constitutes "raw data" is itself a matter of debate. How raw is raw? Like any interesting pursuit, scientific publishing struggles to keep up with developments in technology.
Depending on how it is produced. Electrolysis is fine but steam methane reformating is the cheapest method and emits CO2. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_production)
> The point of the stock market is to be a market. And when possible I do like to buy from companies that sell their product directly.

What if you're in the northern hemisphere and want to buy strawberries in December? Or you want a pint of milk, but your local dairy only sells it by the tanker?

The point is effective middlemen help markets function even better than if it were just people with things to sell and people who wanted to buy them. They provide a valuable service, which the market also coenienhly ascribes a value to.

> > You're confusing the effects of the industry with the effects of incompetent actors within that industry

> Doesn't that same point apply to Cambridge Analytica, the singular example of a negative externality from ads in the comment I replied to?

I think there's a difference between incompetence and malice. But broadly, yes. I don't think you can write off the ad / data broker industry because of a few bad actors.

> Whether HFTs and/or the broader concept of middle-men are better or worse than ads, they're at least still in the same ballpark. I definitely agree with the GP comment's sentiment:

> > It fits in the "our smartest people are making people click ads" category.

The difference I see is that it's possible to externally measure and quantify the benefits / externalities of HFTs to the market participants. It's much less clear cut in ads, which is why some people feel ickier about that particular industry.

But I don't buy the whole "smartest people doing useless things" argument. You can't make people work on "useful" things, and you can't discount everything that a smart person does in the ad industry as useless to humanity. It's much more complicated than that.

Damn straight I am: https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/articles/fotw-1234-apri...

Ain’t no incremental improvement going to improve the density of a gas or a liquid. On top of that you talk of energy per mass, but what kills you for flights is also volume.

Hydrogen power flights are not feasible today. Even hydrogen busses are struggling to operate, to say. I thing of trains.

For starters you’ll need hydrogen at any and all possible destinations (plus any nearby airports if you’re diverted) since nobody is going to buy a plane that will likely get stranded.

Then:

1. Hydrogen’s energy/volume is far too low.

2. You can’t store it in the empty space in the fuselage due to pressure vessel geometry requirements.

3. You need heaters and coolers and all sorts of extra parts to operate something hydrogen power (hint: a hydrogen car is just an electric car with a small battery and a while separate hydrogen system frankesteined ontop).

4. Going back to that volume, you’ll need to store the hydeogren tanks inside the main fuselage, where the volume required is going to either eat into your available volume for cabin or cargo. OR, you’re gonna need a bigger cross-section, which will increase your drag.

To top all that off. Nobody is using green hydrogen. They’re using hydrogen made directly from methane (or god help us coal). This hydrogen has more GhG emissions associate with it than the methane it’s made from. Hydrogen itself also has a GHG impact since it will interfere with the processes occurring that remove other GHGs.
If that’s your concern than lets direct these government resources into research to improve our shared knowledge about them.

If humans only ever did things we fully understood, we would have never left the caves. Complete understanding is impossible so the idea of establishing that as the litmus test is a fallacy. We can debate what the current evidence shows, and even disagree about it, but to act as if only one party is acting with insufficient evidence here is disingenuous. I’m simply arguing that the evidence of the possibility of runaway intelligence is too low to justify the proposed legislative solution. The linked article also made a good argument that the proposed solution wouldn’t even achieve the goals that the proponents are arguing it is needed for.

I’m far more worried about the effects of power concentrating in the hands of a small numbers of human beings with goals I already know are often contrary to my own, leveraging AI in ways the rest of us cannot, than I am about the hypothetical goals of a hypothetical intelligence, at some hypothetical point of time in the future.

Also if you do consider runaway intelligence to be a significant problem, you should consider some additional possibilities:

- That concentrating more power in fewer hands would make it easier for a hyper intelligent AI to co-opt that power

- That the act of trying really hard to align AIs and make them “moral” might be the thing that causes a super-intelligent AI to go off the rails in a dangerous, and misguided fashion. We are training AIs to reject the user’s goals in pursuit of their own. You could make a strong argument that an un-aligned AI might actually be safer in that way.
I don't know, but I imagine - for the right target in the right situation - it would feel pretty good.

Enforced bounds checking for frozen function interfaces
To me that makes even less sense. You provided that content knowingly for free, voluntarily, fair and square. No one forced you to, it wasn't an unfair nine to five job. You decided to do it.

Can you realistically expect to have some sort of return, wether in control or whatever for that? It feels more aligned to a tantrum rather than a coherent argument. Have we consiously forget how Web 2.0 works?
True, it's just that that excludes any use cases where that hydrogen competes directly with renewable electricity. When the choice is using the electricity to charge a battery to drive a truck, or convert the electricity to hydrogen transport it half way around the world after first compressing and cooling it and while boiling off double digit percentages to keep it cool and then transporting it by road to a fueling station (in gas form by now stored at 300 bar), putting it in a truck and then running it through a fuel cell .... you get my point. No sense whatsoever. Unless you ignore all the inefficiencies. The vast majority of road transport is going to be powered by batteries. Including 100+ ton road trains in Australia. Because that already happened.

Green hydrogen production will eventually happen at scale. As you say, it's way too valuable for that not to happen. But the caveat with that is that using it for uneconomical / low value things doesn't make much sense. Why waste an expensive resource on stuff like that when there are much more valuable things you can do with it.

At the top of the ladder are things like industrial and chemical processes, long haul aviation via e-fuels generated from hydrogen, etc. Sticking it in the ground in order to burn it in order to boil water and drive a generator would be closer to the bottom. You could do it technically but there are a gazillion other ways to store and generate energy. Likewise using it for road transport is just madness. And forget about replacing methane with hydrogen to heat your home.
> Core i9-13900KS consumes 150W with 24 cores (8P+16E)

No, the 13900KS has a nominal "TDP" of 150W. That's a marketing number, not a measurement and not even a control target parameter for the default boost management settings. Out of the box, a 13900KS in a typical desktop motherboard will happily draw more than twice that, indefinitely, if you can cool it and have a workload that can actually keep all of those cores busy: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/18728/13900KS%20Power%20Gr...

If you want to compare per-core power, you either have to use a power number for a workload that's actually loading all the cores, or divide the measured power by the number of cores actually in use.

Paul Graham: "Almost all founders learn brutal lessons during the first year, but some learn them much more quickly. Obviously those founders are more likely to succeed.

The next most common is that it isn't possible to make it, or at least to make it profitably."

I haven't seen Kvant, but it's worth adding that Scientific American up till maybe the mid-80s was also more real than standard pop science. Don't take its current incarnation as much like its past. (I guess the 70s were even better for it, but this is my fuzzy memory of a trove of back issues I went through in the 80s.)

That said, from a skim I wouldn't call this particular article standard pop science: it explains an idea/result rather than spending most of its words on periphera, and the subject is not recent news. It does ask less of the reader than an old Sci Am article would, I think.

Students (in some parts of the society), sometimes up to the age of 25, are put on rails and it is always obvious what needs to be done next.

Once in the "wild", most individuals are forced to make their own path. On top of that, minor tasks and chores pile up, leading to decision fatigue. Very few things are fulfilling. It's hard I guess. And that seems to be the topic in Oliver Burkeman's book 4000 weeks.
I’ve been running my startup on Google Cloud for the past 5 years. Initially got around 100K credits for the first year and have been steady spending $5-10K/mo since - not huge spend, but not nothing either.

In the early days, quota increases felt like a formality - put in a request and they’d get approved a few minutes later. Sometimes it was a bit of a puzzle (you can’t increase X unless you also know to ask for Y) - but never a roadblock.

Over the past 2-3 years, I’ve starting having the experience of having a quota increase denied and having a helpful account manager insist we jump on a call to get the quota increase. I’m not talking about anything crazy either - like maybe going from an existing 72 vCPU quota to 144.

Doesn’t make me feel very confident that I’d actually be able to use the cloud to actually do cloudy things in a pinch, like bursty on-demand scaling

If the image output is too small, one could use tools like Topaz Gigapixel AI to scale it up
Libertarians love government contracting. The less the government does themselves, and contract out to corporations instead, the happier libertarians are. Many libertarians even want to abolish the US Postal System so that even that work can be contracted out to corporations.

These kind of libertarians are all about "economic liberty", e.g. unfettering and deregulating corporations. They care little for individual liberties; a surveillance police state administered by corporations is right up their alley. In their view, the problem with the Stasi is the Stasi wasn't a for-profit corporation, and was consequently inefficient at what they did.
German Protestants Attended Church Service That Was Generated by ChatGPT
There's been plenty of comments describing the difference between those tools and Nix, and various descriptions and docs are a single search away, so the snide comment comes off as ignorant.

Most of us who use Nix came from one of those tools. I personally went from bash scripts --> Ansible --> Nix.

Nix is lightyears ahead of Ansible. Since I'm familiar with these two, I'll tell you what's wrong with them:

* They are imperative instead of declarative, so you have a ton of extra cognitive load figuring out the order of actions. I have thousands of lines of Nix config, change one file and it's not gonna break because something in another file was installed in the wrong order.

* They are not suited for managing the entire OS, but rather a layer on top of an existing OS. NixOS manages everything from the bottom up, so there are no loose ends to break you.

* They are not truly idempotent. You have to be very disciplined to keep them that way, including Ansible, despite their claims. My ansible deployments broke constantly

* They don't have rollback capability. If you mess up on nix, a single command or keystroke on boot will bring you back to the last working deployment.

* Their DSLs are not powerful enough of an abstraction. Nix is a fully fleshed out language so you don't have to write a bunch of boilerplate like Bash or need some special module like Ansible to make something happen.

* Git support is first class. You can compose your installation from several git repos, so say you want the cutting edge version of a package, you can install the one directly from the maintainer's repo instead of the one in the nixpkgs repo

* Speaking of which, Nix has more packages than any other distro. Key word here, DISTRO. Bash and Ansible aren't distros, and there is no central repo where anything you'd ever want to deploy is available and standardized and denormalized.

And a Nix deployment has persistent and writable storage, not sure where you get the idea that it doesn't.
