Who recommends turning off capitalism?

But un-restricted capitalism is literally the stereotypical paper clip AI. It will seek out maximal profit at every cost. As per the very Adam Smith, it only works well in small, welll-regulated markets. Let the government do its job, and capitalism its own.
The llama 2 chat models are completely neutered. They are practically unusable. I'm convinced it was joke from the Meta engineers.
I don't think it will merge. After deno nodejs is getting similar features like native fetch, web stream etc. Similarly nodejs can just implement buns unique features
We did have them. We got rid of them because coins last longer so are more cost effective for small amounts like that.
Good point, building a desktop app with filament would probably be quite fast!
This begins to effectively sound like government subsidised mortgages, two steps removed and by the back door… huh.
It's not clear to me why there aren't more signing keys. After all, the public part is exposed at an URL you can retrieve whenever you're verifying the token.

I've seen service provider implementations where the access token is exchanged for a cookie or other similar token, in which case you can't really do anything about it anymore for the lifetime of the cookie.

But if you're always verifying the access token with a reasonably short cached key list, the service provider should be able to refuse the token reasonably quickly once the key is no longer advertised.
A bit more context from [1]:

> The contract between Freenom and the Malinese government that gave Freenom technical control over the domain extension and give out the domains for free, has expired on Monday July 17. The contract was not renewed, which means that the control of the .ml domain extension is returned back to the government of Mali.

How is MiniZinc in this aspect compared to Picat or other constraints solving languages?

I find the outputs command of MiniZinc particularly counter-intuitive and hard to use.
It's quite significant. Life expectancy is about 82 in France. Retiring at 62 vs 64 means:

1. Years of retirement: -2
2. Years of retirement payments: +2
3. Years of retirement fund returns: +2

(3) is significant because at the end the fund will have about 40 years of payments. Suppose an 8% nominal return for two years on average, this means you're getting about 16% on 40 years of savings, or ±6.5 years of savings, on top of 2 years of extra savings by working two extra years, on top of needing 2 years of fewer pay-outs, meaning the 20 year retirement is cut by 8.5 years, or a -42% decrease.

Not to mention side benefits. (ample evidence that working and staying active longer, reduces healthcare costs on society, for example).

I'm simplifying the calculations quite a bit of course, but this actually has a massive impact.
I’m sorry man but based on the stuff I’ve worked on and the situations I’ve seen, it just seems more plausible to me that the scientific enterprise tasked with scaring the shit out of everyone is not sampling and unbiased distribution.
They don't want it thanks to decades-long misinformation campaign waged with fossil fuel money.

The Finnish Greens are pro-nuclear, perhaps because they are not beholden to the same sources of funding as their German counterparts (and not to just blame the Greens here: look at your former Chancellor Schroeder).

It sounds like they are physically moving the element between a hot reservoir and a cold reservoir. Apply the field, and move to the hot side to disapate heat. Then remove fron hot side, release the field, and absorb heat on the cool side.

That should allow for pretty good separation between the two. I suppose rather than actually moving the element, you can use valves and liquid reservoirs to either let the cold reservoir flow through, or the hot reservoir.
This topic feels to me like a moonshot attempt [0]. Institutions like this, live on the EU handouts [1] (in fact I applied with my company together with Fraunhofer a few years back on a EU subsidy). Meaning, the fact it is subject of investigation does not imply this will proof to be a valid path to follow.

How I see it the following has happened. EU bans f-gases. The industry had objections and EU sets up a program of subsidies to search for alternatives. And there you have another political argument to ban f-gases in the first place. A mostly foreign industry (China, Japan, US) is suddenly a massive transition market where we (the EU) are engaging in massive investments and subsidies. It does not hurt the EU to stir this up a bit giving EU industry a better position.

[1] BTW I agree with these 'handouts' and the existence of institutions like Fraunhofer. As said I also cooperated with them on a similar package and with all fundamental innovations, it is highly uncertain if it will become a success.
When the berries are in season you can sometimes buy them at regular supermarkets or for sure at farmers markets.

They are quite intensively harvested in countries like Finland, Sweden, Poland and Belarus. The frozen berries are then exported.
For instance where I live (Austria) I can buy frozen Bilberries at a much cheaper price than regular Blueberries.
It's the clear tension of keeping our way of life now versus being able to keep parts of it in the future.

> If the value goes to 0 somehow you still have a roof over your head.

you got the cause and effect wrong here.

As long as you have the roof over your head, the value of the property isn't zero.

If you can no longer use the property as a roof over your head, it's value drops to zero. For example, the place is completely flooded, or destroyed in an earthquake (assuming no insurance etc).

> Any mortgage at almost any fixed interest rate ... will always beat renting

only true if you put enough constraints on the condition under which you consider this to be "amenable". In realistic situations, renting or mortgages could either be better or worse, depending on the circumstances. On average, it costs "the same" to live somewhere with rent, or via a mortgage - otherwise, there'd be an arbitrage opportunity!
The solution is a carbon tax, which is unpopular with big oil companies but probably also unpopular with many citizens who vote based on gas prices.

We may just have to use solar radiation management instead.
> It's almost silly how simple the real solutions are.

Simple? Real? Let me give you some numbers. Let's use electricity as a proxy for consumption[1].

Average global per capita electricity consumption is currently about 3000 kWh/a. To put that into context, you can drive your environmentally friendly EV (20kWh/100km) roughly 15 000 km (10 000 miles) and use no more electricity at anything during the year.

US electricity consumption is ~12 000 kWh per year. So if you want to not force third world to poverty forever and keep the global consumption at current levels (I'm not yet discussing decreasing global consumption, just keeping it at current levels). US folks would need to cut their consumption by 75% to allow the poorer to get even.

Sorry, but that is neither simple nor real. If we want to see the poor countries to rise to even mediocre living standards, we will face a huge increase in global consumption. You do not need to like this (I do not), but it is a fact. So please, stop whining about the need to reduce our consumption and start supporting initiatives how we can produce lots more energy and stuff sustainably. Because we need to do that.

no problems with that, but the internet sats all seem to be aiming for 500-600 (Starlink) up to 1000km. it's lots of 'space' :)
That must have been traumatic for you
They're bad if they make it harder to access more complex experiences.

This doesn't apply to McDonalds, because a McD won't automatically kill off more sophisticated restaurants within the same area.

It does apply to terrible movies and books, because more creative and original projects don't get made "for commercial reasons" - which is really just a form of corporate enshittification.

The issue isn't just that they're bad culturally - although they are. It's that they normalise conformity and creative obedience through the principle that the mass market is the ultimate cultural authority.

When a majority of creators self-censor because "This will never sell/get made/be published/be listened to, what's the point?" - that is a very dangerous place to be.

You don't need to burn or ban books to destroy the values they represent. You can censor them implicitly by making sure certain values, ideas, and creative orientations have no cultural presence.

Biotumen: Bitumen Reinvented
Same. I always look for a reason to run FreeBSD for jails and ZFS but I just can't. Questionable compatibility and the lack of OCI containers (which are an easy way out if you don't want to spend time setting up a jail on your home server in your free time) always ruins it.

I could run a VM for Linux but i could also only run Linux and not deal with that...

With that said, cooling reactors need a bit of rethinking with this warmup, rivers may no longer be fine to use.

The population pyramid is mostly due to the post WW II babyboom. Not sure what you're proposing then (family planning?) and now (also family planning but now reverse, mass migration?) going forwards to get a grip on a balanced population pyramid.
The article clearly says that it is for the US but I still can not think of a reason why that would be valid for US and not Europe for example

You misread the jokey intro I think, which goes on to say it applies essentially everywhere in secondary effects; it makes no claim about the direct value of long term mortgages elsewhere except by implication that in similar systems generally they are a bad idea.
The reason for this is that while all the individual electronic components, the PCB, and even likely the peripherals such as the display panel, are all very likely rated for at least 70-85C, the lack of active cooling in smartphones is why an ambient temperature of >35C would spell disaster for smartphones (fortunately due to temperature awareness of the SoC, the SoC just shuts off).

Even though the smartphone SoCs may dissipate around <2W of heat, to transfer that heat out of the chassis is pretty hard. This is coming from experience from working on a consumer electronics product where we have run at least 20 heat simulations on Autodesk and learnt how tough it is to dissipate out even 0.75W heat.
Saying it should have been Windows CE is just survivorship bias IMO - and we don’t know that they didn’t write documentation on the protocol or that it’s poorly understood - it might just have been easier and safer to emulate an app that everyone is happy with rather than rewrite it (these film projectors might be more in “keep them alive” mode rather than “improve” mode while digital is growing for them).

I’ve put a dos application running in an emulator on an android device for a project to roll out new hardware because that took a few hours to configure rather than a year of development.
Nuclear is only an intermediate solution but many treat like the final one.

It isn't helpful averting one problem to create another one.
I understand your point, but the probability math works against you as the number of platforms grows, unless you have excellent data segregation and access controls. What happens in most cases, each new platform serves as an attack vector to be exploited to gain access to all of the data.
Seen plenty of nice nodejs backends. Seen also some serious frankenstein PHP projects. Language really doesnt matter. The people behind it do.
The worst part of Bun is the lack of compatibility with other Node stuff. I’d use it if it weren’t for my wish to use Prisma on my project.
Makes a lot of textbook assumptions.

In my case interest minus tax breaks plus property tax is 40% of current rent for a similar place.
I mean, they might have tried Bud and expected Americans to appreciate _any_ better product? Can't blame them I guess.
That was my most generous interpretation too, but when I read it I didn't see any details on whether or not this is solid state. I'd be suspicious of a high performance solid state heat pump.

To add more to the confusion, there's also single-laser IMAX, which gives you a 4K picture in a 1.9 to 1 aspect ratio. Taller than standard 2.39 to 1, but not the full IMAX.
Killers of the Flower Moon has a young Hoover in its cast of characters, and it does a pretty good job of describing his rise. It's also a fantastic book in its own right, which should be read before the incoming movie spoils it forever.

> Still no solution for nuclear waste

That’s false. In France we have a project to bury them 500m underground in stable geological formations. And even if this site failed to retain the radioactive (which studies says it will not) that would be a minor issue against climate change.

As for security issues since nuclear power exists (~70 years) we can count deadly accidents in some dozens of victims while the pollution due to burning fuels kills several thousands of people every year.

At this point it’s so ridiculous that you have way more chance to die in a plane crash of anything nuclear.

Also contrary to a belief, a plane crashing in a nuclear powerplant, while creating a certain horrible mess would not be really different than crashing it in any petrochemical plant. For comparison that would be way less dramatic than the AZF of Beyrouth explosions.
It is not Peltier. But seems like solid hardware indeed.

The efficiency of heatpump is 1.0 thermodynamics. Ie yes there is a transition in fluid / gas, but the efficiency is not because there is a split. Monobloc heatpumps are common, and have similar efficiencies compared to split units.
No please no. PHP is a top layer of C. Not Java.
Absolutely. I can remember running a full-blown UNIX in 70 megabytes of hard drive. Try doing that today. <grin>

But who knows whether some version of Linux can't be run on an Arduino if that Linux version can be cut down enough?

There were some versions of Linux that used to fit on a couple of floppies, or maybe even just one floppy. Or am I thinking of something similar like QNX?

It's not bad, it's just still too early to "jump in", except to be an early adopter and perhaps one of the go-to experts when the bulk of the user developers come on board. The price for that is to always be prepared to refactor anything you build at this stage.
You missed the point about science being solved and the view around consensus. I'm guessing you didn't watch the short video.
> Objectively, MS tech still gets the job done

Mostly, if you don't have too high expectations.

My employer has had to invest I don't even want to know how much in an EDR (or whatever it's called nowadays) and a slew of services around this circus just to pretend their Windows systems are secure. Didn't catch a home-grown cryptolocker, though, and happily allowed it to encrypt its own files.

They mostly use web-bases SAAS applications anyway, so could trivially replace windows with an OS with a better security track record.

Plus, AzureAD always seemed kludgy. Until recently, they insisted on having SMS or phone as a second factor for password recovery. Which allowed you to reset the stronger 2nd factor used for auth. They only started supporting Fido tokens like a year or so ago for regular 2fa. Their authenticator is a joke: until recently, you had no idea what you were approving. It still doesn't support group inheritance, so if you base it on your local AD as the source of truth, you have to jump through more hoops and add more ad-hoc groups and maintain them. Good times.
> Imagine millions and millions of people doing this

But they won't. Even here on HN, where some smart people roam, touching their meat (like, eating LESS of it, not quitting altogether) will make them into incoherent angry (I guess) men. And that's of course a big step, smaller steps are even not a thing for many people; not flying, no car, hell, here people even refuse to obey the law of not topping up (or filling) their swimming pools even though there is an huge water shortage.

The only way will be if governments decide to step in. Problem there is; a lot of gov people and the people they support or who support them, are giving the wrong examples; big cars, slabs of meat, villas all over the place, bailing out struggling airlines, making sure the energy/oil companies can make more profits, making sure farmers have to obey nothing of these new rules because export products (so they can keep using whatever amount of water, cut ancient trees down just like that, ...) etc. People pick the govs they like, which means they hope either things will get better for themselves (not the world) or remain the same.
> That time is now

We diverge on this point and I talked about it in other comments.

> we should decrease our current CO2 usage as much as we can, even at a small price of personal luxury

It’s luxury because we live in the first world. In the 3rd world where most people live (and most people are poor), these policies have catastrophic consequences, such as the Sri Lankan organic farming affair.
This seems like a Fraunhofer internal project so it seems to be from the base budget they can freely invest into research (still tax payers money and with a political edge to it)

The general criticism to the European subsidiaries applies though to all the 'competity' research funding that not necessarily leads to go to market approaches . But this IMHO is a bad example.
Jerry Pournelle would have written it while procrastinating about writing an article for BYTE Magazine.

No legal route to euthanasia is driving people to do this.

I'm willing to bet there's a whole chunk of deaths where clinicians look the other way for assisted suicides as long as it can be put in an ambiguous category (e.g. heart failure) because of the lack of framework.

All it would take is a slow multi check legal process that would take a jury of peers, who don't need to be in a court together, to individually back a (pro euth) medical professional's opinion. It allows the sufferers to have a wind down period to reconsider, some dignity, and less worry their loved ones will be charged. It's not like people decide on killing their loved ones in a single day, this is something considered over months.

I see no reason for blocking a legal route, the argument it could be used for murder implies this is a norm and a court cannot be expected to make the right decision in that circumstance, which would actually imply that they make a mockery of the regular justice system, which clearly isn't the case.

It's time we stopped this backwards system, religious nuts can opt out of using it (don't force your religion on others) and allow people dignity, less worry, less pain and less strain on a stretched family and infrastructure keeping a patient alive who doesn't want it.

Nothing in the modern Hippocratic Oath is incompatible with this, it even supports it - they're treating a person, not the disease.
Thanks again for taking the time to elaborate. I would not have assumed that being able to see an "after image" was related to this -- I had always assumed that that phenomenon was due to sensory overload. There is still a lot to learn :)

I read that most people with aphantasia do have visual dreams [1], which I found interesting.

In some period of my life I used to have nightmares about my grandmother (who had died many years before), and I remember seeing here face very vividly, as if the entire dream was real. Based on those experiences, I tried to draw her portrait, but try as I might, I failed miserably. I could just not access that imagery while awake.

> I’m not sure why you think this is unlikely

Now you got me doubting that as well :)

I think that most of the misunderstanding stems from an unclear definition of what "forming visual images in ones head" means. I guess it means different things to different persons. For me, as referred to in the dream example, I cannot keep a sharp visual image in my head at will. But there is some vague access to certain visual memories and visual planning, so I would not call my self aphantasic.

I agree that there is a great variation in how peoples minds work, that's what makes life so very interesting!

What scientific enterprise? You do realize there are plenty of countries/institutions with widely different monetary/political incentives that finance absolutely separate groups to do research?

So unless you believe in some Secret Government that controls everything, it is just a completely naive take that has no basis in reality. We can’t even coordinate a single country’s various, independent incentives even in very authoritative governments — and you believe that every study made is financed with the same incentives? If not, you can surely list reputable studies that call out the fake research, right?
In a nutshell, you attempted to steal an invention from the wrong man. You are a thief and you are a liar.
The least it can cost is as much as it's marginal cost of extraction and delivery. These asteroids are so large it would take trillions of dollars to extract all the resources.
It seems to be known as F-gas known or CE 517/2014 and its effect in europe right now is about phasing out the most harmful fluorine based gas, (going from R-410A to R-32) and mandating regular maintenance and forbidding installation of heat pumps by non qualified individuals (to prevent leaks)

The article is about degrowth.

The paperclip thought experiment is a stupid thought experiment. An AI that had the executive functioning to improve its entire substrate (e.g. rewrite the entire TSMC Nvidia chip and software supply chain) would require the same higher order agency that would stop it from destroying the world to turn it into paperclips. It only seems plausible if you spend all your time disembodied from reality browsing lesswrong.
