Yeah, that explanation was dead wrong. Here is the real one.

The phrase "at the same time" means different things in different inertial reference frames. So what is FTL to one observer, is traveling backwards in time to another. If you can warp from any reference frame, you can therefore travel backwards in time.

As for why "at the same time" changes meanings, let's adapt Einstein's example.

I'm in the middle of a moving train. You're on the train station. As we pass, lightning strikes right between us. Will the light from the lightning arrive at both ends of the train at the same time?

According to me, obviously. In my reference frame the train is not moving. Light has a constant speed. It will reach both ends at the same time.

According to you, obviously not. Light travels at constant speed, but the train is moving. Therefore the back of the train is moving towards the light, and the front is moving away. So the light gets to the back of the train before the front.

So when the person on the train says that an event in front and behind happened at the same time, the person not on the train says that the event behind happened before the event in front.

Now consider this. I'm on a spaceship with a warp drive. This is a great warp drive, travels instantly in whatever reference frame I'm in.. I warp forward a long distance - like a light year. I accelerate forward. I warp backwards and arrive back a bit behind where I started at. I decelerate, and I'm in my own past!

That's the causality problem.

interesting thread, so the multitudinal effects of gas output came back with more nuance than anyone expected.

the oversimplified explanations of "this gas bad" are finally worth collapsing because nothing only ever does just one thing.

on the bright side, if this cloud seeding business helps keep everything cooled, i suppose that's a good takeaway.
Most tokens are word or sub-word level. A token can be "find" or two tokens can be "find" and "ing." To argue that this isn't inherently using the underlying grammar rules is plainly wrong. To argue that an LLM trained on English text is capable of "making up words" (in any meaningful sense of that sentence) is even more wrong.

I think that’s a good question to ask, but maybe best asked alongside other questions since the answer is not likely a binary choice between busy/lazy:

- Am I overextended?

- Is it something I value?

- Is it a thing that I “want to want” or know I’ll enjoy once I start doing it?

- Is it an unreasonable expectation set by the less ideal aspects of society?

Laziness is a possibility, but just one of many.

You are totally right, the amount of chemical in comparison to the total frac job is small, but when you start putting 8-16 wells in the same space where once we only did 4, then it starts to add up. I used to have a full chemical list somewhere, but can't seem to find it right now. Also, to your point, things like benzene and toluene are in the mix at times - and if a company has a "proprietary" mix there can easily be some really rough carcinogens in that, too. This is a slightly different topic, but the amount of clean water used in the process is an eye opener. Say you will have 8 wells on a 1280 spacing (so 2 mile laterals, roughly), and they use 75,000 bbls of water - fresh water, you can't have any side reactions happening and recycled water adds significant cost to an already pricey well (probably $7.2- $8 million each for drill/completion), that is 25.2 million gallons of water for just one pad of wells. In terms of future water access, coupled with "is that water clean?", it becomes a real issue. Typically frac flowback water is dumped to a lined pit (which, at times, it can leak through to the ground water), and that water is then transported to an injection well nearby to inject at some point below the water table. But you can't always trust people to do that right things when costs come up. There are bad injection wells where the water is absorbed at the water table level.
To be fair they're a tiny company and presumably see a natural fit with Apple on this, so it's probably a sound strategy to let Apple worry about the marketing of the developing space (AR productivity) generally, while Immersed just leverage their significant existing rep within it as it expands.
Yeah, I used to take pride in always being willing to help people out with programming, but over time I've ended up saying "I'm too busy" more and more often.

It’s not a mapping of words. It’s a mapping of character sequences. You can ask chatgpt to define “hackernewsitis (zero hits on google) and it gives a plausible definition.

Also the fact that it can write code is evidence that it can understand new concepts. A variable declaration is a coining of a (very short lived) new word.

It’s about convenience for the government. To take a site down by other means requires contacting ISPs to not route packets from an IP address or contact the site owner with legal action. This requires labor on the governments part.

Consequently there are a lot of gaps in this approach. For example, wahapedia is a mirror for Warhammer 40k rules. Games Workshop, the rule book authors, would be happy for the site to be inaccessible, but since the site is hosted in Russia, and they don’t respect western IP laws, it continues to stay up.

The less the government has to do, the lower your taxes in theory. Exporting government functions to private institutions is very common. For example, many legal agreements have forced arbitration clauses. It is perfectly acceptable for two consenting parties to agree to alternative dispute resolutions outside of court. Except one of those parties (the customer) has no ability to influence the wording of the contract and all vendors have the same arbitration clauses. Consumers pay for it in the form of lower value and higher prices.

Many municipalities require new construction to have homeowners associations. They don’t want to have to deal with all the resident disagreements. These HOAs charge a fee to residents for the upkeep of the services in the community (like a government), and have legal means to enforce transgressions such as foreclosure on your home (like a government). But there is also another government over it, they still charge you property taxes (which ostensibly pays for those services) and those taxes haven’t gone down.

So yes, not only is moving government functions to private entities inefficient, and there’s plenty of examples of to back it up, it just shifts responsibility around and ultimately costs regular people more.
Fair, it happened occasionally. In most cases where it’s well-documented, though, it seems like it was more realpolitik than the sort of “spreading the good word” approach of the other monotheistic faiths; AIUI the details of the Khazar case are a bit of a mystery.
he lost me at "a language model’s vocabulary is limited to the words that exist within the model’s training texts, which means a LLM can only refer to objects and relations that we humans have already discerned, named, and written about."

This is trivially demonstrated to be a false statement, as GPT is capable of synthesizing entirely novel words based on very little input guidance.

i'm certain that any website "suspected" of breaking the law will go through multiple bureaucratic hurdles where they need to prove their innocence to a committee, as opposed to someone else proving their guilt in a courtroom. in the mean time, sorry, your website is blocked because its election season and we don't want this information getting out right now.

I think there are better alternatives than democracy. It's something I hope to publish something on.

It astounds me that we have so much more knowledge and modeling capacity these days, but this 'problem' of optimal form of government has not seen any progress being made - everyone just stopped at 'democracy'.

There are conflicting reports on that, so I don't think you can say that with confidence. A lot of sites also are unreliable, correlating an increase in plant based foods with growth of veganism, for example.

It really won't. Companies are the problem. People will never have more than a minimal impact.

You might think it is wrong, but I think it is a perfectly cromulent case of AI "making up words".
I don't understand why anyone would think this is even the slightest bit weird. The situation described is dynamically unstable. The object remaining at rest forever is only possible in the Platonic ideal: zero friction, infinitely rigid materials, no thermal motion, no external perturbations. As soon as the state diverges from the Platonic ideal in any way, positive feedback will amplify that divergence. So the prediction for the Platonic ideal is exactly what one would expect: the object might stay still, or it might start to move at any time without any apparent cause.

Of course, this situation can never actually be observed because even if you could somehow construct it (and good luck with that), you couldn't actually look at it because merely shining a light on the object would give it a nudge.
- "There were ways, of course, to get around the SPA and Central Licensing. They were themselves illegal. Dan had had a classmate in software, Frank Martucci, who had obtained an illicit debugging tool, and used it to skip over the copyright monitor code when reading books. But he had told too many friends about it, and one of them turned him in to the SPA for a reward (students deep in debt were easily tempted into betrayal). In 2047, Frank was in prison, not for pirate reading, but for possessing a debugger."

Surely you aren't suggesting that mathematics, language, philosophy, or abstract thought in general is only 300 years old. Surely not.
The article is pointing out that, if we think of Newtonian mechanics as a set of math equations, then there exist simple systems in which the future of the system has multiple equally-valid solutions to those equations.

Mathematically, it’s possible to have a differential equation with an initial condition, and still have multiple different solutions. That’s what the author creates as well.

I don’t think this article is about continuous vs discrete physics, as some commenters suggest - nor about reality at all (not directly). Rather, this is pointing out a surprising property of the model of Newtonian mechanics.
Nope, they used 16k x 1-bit DRAM ICs.
But Low Energy FTL travel is far greener for our Galaxy than HE FTL. With HE FTL, just one mistake can born new supernova. Moreover, it requires year of whole star energy for singe travel. 90% of stars turned dark just because of that. I will call you "Dark Lord" from now.

The only one from the list you gave that doesn't make sense to me is Shell, but it's also one of the lower ranked ones. The rest could make sense since they're all likely voted on with new frameworks in mind, which means new code bases. Also, since most of those appear in the most hated as well, it shows that there's a distinct factor between those that love these languages, and those that don't. The distinguishing factor is likely the framework they're on.

Also c'mon man, some of these arguments are just made in bad faith and you know it.

The article is hard to follow for me, but if I understood it correctly, this is not true:

> That is just not going to happen in (classical) reality, though. Because once you properly set the initial state of the ball (force=velocity=0, or any other values), then the solution becomes unique

If you set velocity = velocity = 0, then the ball staying at the top is a valid solution, AND the ball rolling down the hill (in any direction) is also a valid solution.

If this sounds confusing (it did for me), look at the example at the end, it's possible to do the reverse - send the ball rolling up the hill with perfect velocity, such that it stops at the very top after time T. And if that is possible, the opposite is also possible because NM is time reversible.
Banks offer Notary Public services. Sometimes I like to pick up a few rolls of quarters. Safe deposit boxes (are also being phased out.) Bottle of water when I'm in the neighborhood.

Yes, branches are becoming less important.
Both were faster. DRAM was a little cheaper, but required more circuitry to handle refresh on most CPUs making it a wash cost-wise on some designs. Typical woz engineering got the cost of the refresh circuitry down to where DRAM made sense economically on the Apple ][.

Interestingly Z80s had DRAM refresh circuitry builtin which which was one reason for their prevalence.
THIS! As we will grasp the effective impact of the past century of burning fossil fuel, we will first go in denial, hoping for a technological miracle.

While there might be a way to produce 84% of the energy currently used without involving fossil fuel, it would not reasonably be implemented in the next decades.

So, we might have to change the way we live. The sooner we adapt, the less painful it would be. If this is not for the climate, it would be as we reach peak oil/gas/coal.

Well no it is not. You can't run that on linux which I'd imagine most people who are wanting to do server-side wasm are coming from.

This is another issue:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {
char *s = "world";

s[0] = 'o';
s[1] = 'w';
s[2] = 'n';
s[3] = 'e';
s[4] = 'd';

printf("Hello, %s\n", s);
}
But isn't a binary absolute in this case and cannot be used in the basis of first principle's assumption of truth.
> If only. Its program counter is 16 bits, but the other registers are 8 bits.

Oh wow, I didn't remember that. I had to go back to double check it! Maybe the NES had wider registers? Or maybe I'm just completely misremembering, which is definitely probably absolutely the case.

Also, thanks for all the other links! Really interesting stuff.

Recursive insight is possible with a model that self trains, but right now that would result in a detour into unreality. Perhaps with the right systems of vetting prior to incorporating new data into the retraining set.

Right now they just get stupider if you train them on their own output, which suggests that the quality of the data available in the training set is higher than the quality of output produced by the model as a general rule. The fidelity is < 1.0 . Apparently, it is possible to achieve fidelity >1 (the growth of human knowledge) but our algorithms are not so great at this point, it seems.

> once you properly set the initial state of the ball (force=velocity=0, or any other values), then the solution becomes unique and that’s it

No, you've missed the point entirely. There are circumstances under which the solution is not unique, and the article describes such a circumstance.
No, certainly not. Many of the most important instances (and in particular many of those most likely to be linked here) don’t use the word ‘mastodon’ in their domains, and of course there are lots of personal ones.
