When you think about it, making fake news is orders of magnitude easier than making real news, the same way that a broken calculator is easier than a correct one.

Netlify worked for me when all we did was basic static hosting for about $500 a year. Then they wanted to up us to about 10k a year and suddenly the cost was significantly worse. The only reason we didn't dump it is because we didn't have enough engineers to swap it to something else because we had projects that needed to be done, but it was our top optional priority.

Unfortunately netlify went from loved to hated overnight.

Apparently [1] the group wanted to play safe and push for more verification internally, but Kwon (the third author of the first arXiv submission) posted his own draft without others' consent. So it's in my opinion useless to discuss whether the submission itself was sincere or not---it was never their intention.

Given the stark contrast in behavior between their sample and the one described in Lee et al., is this even the same material? Surely while the conductive characteristics can be explained by errors in measurement procedure, why would the behavior in a magnetic field be different? Were the original authors being dishonest? Was the replicated material different? The X-ray analysis seems to support that they are very similar, if not the same. I expect we're going to see more of this over the next week as more Chinese labs manufacture the samples.
Hardly comparable.

One started a platform with an upfront communicated commission rate that, at the time, was literally received with applause because before that the rates were significantly worse for developers and has never raised the rate in its entire history (instead lowered it for certain circumstances).

The other is a bait and switch, luring people onto the platform under one set of rules, only to pull the rug from under them years after the status quo was established and change the rules to impose a commission that didn’t apply to them until now.

One is hard to argue as an anti-trust violation and the other is pretty much a textbook example.
We don’t need batteries on that scale any time soon. Let’s project out 25 years and we might need 3-5 hours of 100% grid electricity storage nationwide depending on your assumptions but that’s about it. It’s not like hydroelectricity is going away anytime soon and that’s extremely flexible not just in terms of time of day but also days of the week, and wind doesn’t care when the sun is shining, and solar can shift east to west to cover more of peak evening demand on the east coast and peak etc etc. We can quibble about the numbers but it’s just not important.

As to storage we’re talking 4h * 500 GWh +/- whatever that’s only 2,000 GWh ish, but the specifics aren’t important. By comparison we’re talking a nearly 100% EV cars so 75 kWh per car * 282 million, that’s ~ 21,150 GWh. Those numbers are so huge we could bump things to 16 hours of electricity and it’s still fairly trivial by comparison. Build enough generation and storage could actually be even lower, it’s just a cost tradeoff and renewables are really cheap. (Edit: There’s been a lot of research into it and there’s plenty of raw materials for a 100% EV transition and on this timescale ramping battery manufacturing isn’t an issue.)

Also, that 30% number is wildly incorrect. Even just over a week the CA demand is expected to go from a low of 24,867 to a high of 42,007 in a single day, but you can’t design a grid for a single day. https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/default.aspx#secti... Things look similar nationally, we don’t have enough interconnects to really smooth things out and even if you did the daily variation is quite significant.

However, the actual disparity between peak annual demand and minimal annual is vastly higher and you can’t smooth it out. That delta is why idling a grid of mostly nuclear power would be so wildly expensive. Without France style exporting and importing from non nuclear countries cost go insane. The only way it’s even vaguely viable in the US is with similarly vast amounts of storage. But at that point adding just a little cheap solar + wind saves money, and that keeps being true as you use less and less nuclear.

TLDR; Cost effective mostly nuclear grid needs even more storage due to capacity factor issues when you can’t follow France’s model of importing and exporting a large fraction of your power to non nuclear countries.
More scary: you could target individuals and surround them with a bunch of fake persons that they have no way of differentiating from real ones and slowly push them in a direction of your choosing.

So what about the video[1] that shows magnetic levitation occurring?

Since the linked article was unable to reproduce this effect, it seems there are two possibilities:

1. The video is fake (which is really, really hard to imagine since that would predictably end the authors' careers).

2. The sample synthesized for the linked article doesn't match the original one for whatever reason.

Hah, I remember seeing that at the Guggenheim. You could actually use it, if you were willing to wait in line. If I remember correctly I was following a nice tour at the time focused, appropriately enough, on sculpture, so our little group just peeked in on the toilet when it was between active users.

The piece was by Maurizio Cattelan and called “America”. Cattelan is just absolutely hilarious; he also did stuff like putting a face-down Pinnochio into the fountain at the bottom of the Guggenheim lobby, making it look like he had jumped from one of the balconies—the visual was incredible :P
I wonder. Combining this with ocr in obsidian or something might get you there.
It’s not a single tool solution though.
There are some established patterns for S3 as a database. It's extremely common in "data lakes" (throw data of various schemas in and use a tool that can parse at query time).

There's client libraries like Delta Lake that implement ACID on S3.

Much of the Grafana stack uses S3 for storage (Mimir/metrics, Loki/logs, Tempo/traces).

That said, I'm not sure about the implementation Tarsnap uses--if it's completely ad-hoc or based of other patterns/libraries.
Roughly speaking, having kids requires:

(1) A good, stable long-term relationship, with someone who seems to be good parent material

(2) A sense of long-term economic security, with a surplus sufficient to cover the costs of a kid

(3) A good, stable, kid-friendly housing situation

(4) Plenty of spare time, long-term (to be spent parenting)

I didn't start using cannabis until I was in my late 20s almost 30s, and my brain was already fully developed by then (I guess?). So, perhaps that has something to do with it being easy to quit?

I'll say this, cannabis is no panacea, but I do find the benefits profound. There are some negative side-effects, but they are very benign in the grand scheme of life.

I am not anti-medicine by any means, but I will tell you this much. Cannabis has been better in terms of efficacy and side-effects than the one anti-anxiety medication I tried back in the day. Cannabis was far easier to quit too.

Well that depends. 57% of the world's uranium is mined with in situ leaching:

> In situ leaching (ISL), also known as solution mining, or in situ recovery (ISR) in North America, involves leaving the ore where it is in the ground, and recovering the minerals from it by dissolving them and pumping the pregnant solution to the surface where the minerals can be recovered. Consequently there is little surface disturbance and no tailings or waste rock generated.

That's from Burroughs's work, which was based off of Nourse's. But that idea of two parallel times - of someone living in more than one time - is such a hallmark of Philip K. Dick's later work that I can't help but wonder if Borroughs was inspired by PKD. The timeline fits: Borroughs wrote this in the late 70's, and PKD's experience that led to his obsession with parallel times was in 1974 [1], and his first published work inspired by it was that same year.

If Borroughs was inspired by PKD, that's another weird coincidence in this chain of events. If he wasn't that's maybe even more of a coincidence actually.

Cryptocurrency would like to have a word with you.
But we don't need commerical breeder reactors. The USA just needs to build 4 PWRs for each reactor it presently has to generate electricity entirely from hydro and nuclear. This is vastly more feasible than provisioning terawatt hours of energy storage.

"Just scale up" is a good summary of how to decarbonize through nuclear power. We have decades of experience building nuclear plants. Not so with hydrogen based electricity storage. Plans for renewable grids call for the use of novel electricity storage systems because none of the existing storage mechanisms are feasible. Until we've built the storage mechanisms proposed, any plan involving it's use is effectively hand-waving a big part of its implementation.
Wrong answer.

That's fair. But what about South Korea, China, India, Turkey?

In China you can't probably trust the official cost numbers (I'm not even trying to google for them). But you can't deny the astonishing pace they've built in the last decade: in 2012 they had 12 GW of nuclear capacity, in 2022 this went to 52 GW. 40 GW in one decade. France built 41 GW of capacity between 1980 and 1990, and the US 44 GW between 1970 and 1980, so this is not unprecedented, but it'd darn impressive in post-Fukushima era.

Powering the world (all energy, not just the grid, and not just the grid in the US) with PWRs won't work, because we run out of cheap uranium too quickly. Breeding is needed for sustainable use of nuclear.

>Hmm, that seems more apt for "recursion".

https://www.google.com/search?q=recursion
Maybe. The thing about nuclear reactors is that the fuel cost is nearly zero on account of how little of it you need. Even with reprocessing, it is still <$0.01/kWh. So nearly all cost with nuclear is upfront. Mass production of nuclear power plants will drive that down dramatically. Nuclear, if done at scale, is can be very cheap.

So having a stable source of cheap electricity that can be built in nearly any location is still a good idea. Even in a world with super cheap green hydrogen.
I'd say not only cheaper, but the industry hadn't yet standardized regarding graphics technology so a lot of companies were trying different things (and not selling them to competitors at all).

Yes, I am conscious of the immense protections health and personal data need to be guarded under when stored together. I recognize that there are strict certifications companies get to handle such info and I don’t have those. This is another place my decision to make everything public actually shines in my opinion. If I allowed making things "private", it might give a false sense of security (and require convincing the user to entrust that I could maintain that) whereas right now I hope it is clear that you should anonymize anything you input. I do not collect any personally identifiable info other than email (which can be a burner). Even if/when I integrate payments, the user should be able to use something like privacy.com.

I'm not well versed on business structures, so I'm having a bit of trouble following your second point about b-corps with relation to freemium.

Wow, that is exactly a path I have been thinking of taking this from the start. Vaguely, I'm interested in integrating biomedical papers linked by the conditions, therapies, and causative effects they mention and allowing discussion on them. Some of the higher-quality APIs I've found with this info do charge, so I'd be especially interested to hear about the projects you work on and if their license allows for use.
This is honestly a pretty good description that tracks with my experience (except watching someone getting ripped apart).
Of course under the assumption that LK-99 is indeed not what has been claimed, I am not completely ruling out that they just failed to reproduce the material. And while I initially said that the LK-99 paper does at least not look like a crackpot paper [1][2] and still think that was not an unreasonable judgment given my complete lack of expertise in the field, just comparing the presentation in this paper and the original LK-99 paper makes me judge the replicators as more competent. But sure, looks can be deceptive.

Kids, but not adults. What's the difference? A more interconnected world model with underlying structure. LLMs have such structure as well, proportional to how well they're trained. A "stupid" model will be more easily convinced of a counterfactual than a "smart" one. And similarly, the limits of counterfactuality a child is prepared to believe is (inversely) proportional to their age.

It seems like some of the difficulty comes from trying to calculate the the contour as a vector rather than a raster image.

I would think that a method that only calculates the contour up to a given resolution to be much easier. Rendering the model using location mapped to color and then a post processing step on the image seems like it should be able to do the job.

From our experience, single or few line replacements generally fine, since many of the changes are many few-line changes in multiple spots accross multiple files. We also provide surrounding context for the search-and-replace pairs, which helps with the model. Beyond 10 lines and the model also usually add the function headers in there which helps with the code generation.
