Who'd have thought a bunch of authors would be offended by critique and/or analysis of their work by an AI?
Seems petty, I guess that's because only the best works get heavily scrutinized, e.g. Shakespeare's plays and these are hardly that.
Great example! I think your library wouldn't be illegal itself, but distributing it would be illegal.
Don't you want to know if something restarts unexpectedly? It's a bug that should be understood and fixed. (If it's not a bug then it's not unexpected.)
Sounds as though your view of the AI is purely positive, in that case. That's fair enough. The answer for other people may well not lie in the question (e.g. for all the people who don't like this development), but it did for you!
Things like GPT already create competition for authors even using their names.

Let's say I start a lemonade stand. I sell lemonade for a pretty big markup... say €3 a cup. I add lots of ice to it as well, this is not a good deal for lemonade for the customer... but people seem REALLY thirsty and I am getting a good flow of customers. A local businessman approaches me and says he will lend me money to expand operations. He offers me €5 million. I take his money and I use €1 million to expand operations, I use €3 million to invest in the rights to every street corner in town, and I pocket €1 million. Then the value of the contracts for every street corner in town plummets. Suddenly these street corner contracts are worth €700,000 and I paid €3 million.

Now my business is worth €1.7 million. €3.3 million disappeared and I owe that businessman + interest.

If I sell lemonade for €3 a cup, but I'm only getting 50 customers a day with my expanded operations it will take me 60 YEARS just to pay down the principle.

Even if my product is expensive. Even if it seems like, for a lemonade stand, I'm doing well. Debt, the value of my assets, and mismanagement or corruption can vastly outweigh these factors.
I don't understand why people get so emotional when you mention the word communism

It was a simple comparison point on the previous comment that, by my standard was also wildly off base (given that he said dumb to a whole country basically)

the fact is that the west seems to be so attached (weirdly) to communism despite even those who implemented it already abandoned.

Why?
Not sure I understand. Numbers in JavaScript can't hold infinitely large numbers, so after a few squarings using x*x or Math.pow(x, 2) you're at float max (or at least lost some precision, breaking the proof) and would need to resort to custom code again rather than a hardware-accelerated browser-native operation.
>This is what you get when you get an MBA type business management constantly

I love how HN blames MBAs for everything.

This was greedy "tech people", nothing more nothing less. Maybe if a few of the characters in this saga had MBAs they would have been able to better judge the value of the business, as opposed to gut and vibes. After all, it was the MBAs who pulled the IPO, while the tech crew continued to push this garbage on the public.
I have an Ultimate64 too, I did this project for philosophical reasons, since everything is new, even the motherboard, it's definitely a new machine, but at the same time, if you look at the electrical activity on the traces, you would conclude it's a c64, and yet, there's no commodore chips on there..
The most commodore thing is the firmware which is on the UV EEPROMs, and even that is slightly different since the original machine used mask roms rather than writable roms. So, it's very much not about "sense" on a practical level (then VICE with a couple of Quickshot competition pro USB sticks makes the most sense)

Well, it's true in that the predominate theory is "humans are all primarily and recently descended from a population somewhere in East or South Africa with a small amount of admixture with local hominids" but the multiorigin theory is pretty much always brought up in the context of implying that different human populations are actually different species.

I very recently tried and failed to commercialise a novel bioreactor system for microalgae [0]. You are correct that surface area is an important factor in considering algal growth characteristics.

In my opinion, microalgae production for bulk purposes (i.e. biofuels rather than current pharma usages) has thus far failed because the existing cultivation systems are very energy intensive (pumps), labour intensive (cleaning), and inconsistent (cell growth and lipid concentrations are more or less non-deterministic). This all means that the cost of production is higher than what you can sell the raw output for in most cases.

Our novel approach was to engineer growth media aerosols (100 micron diameter microdroplets), and suspend microalage cells inside each microdroplet. Then we made a literal cloud (microdroplet air suspension) inside an environmentally controlled greenhouse volume. Doing this enables an extremely large surface area contact between the growth media and atmosphere (also CO2 enriched atmosphere), as well as energy efficient mixing and circulation processes. Our calculations showed that orders of magnitude energy efficiency improvements are possible compared to existing cultivation systems (raceways, tubular PBRs), and additionally scaling is inherently possible due to the ease of building out larger and larger volumes to contain such microdroplet atmospheric suspensions.

Existing systems cannot be effectively scaled due to e.g. pressure limitations associated with tall water volumes, risks of culture contamination, light penetration etc.

One question I don't see asked in the various threads covering this: why does windows freely offer such data? At least Intel does give you an opt out (should be opt in really), but other applications can freely collect this data without you knowing.

Windows needs to have much better control maybe a "telemetry" setting to control each apps access to the data, but that would most likely require some serious reengineering.

Just use an app like Simplewall and block outbound connections, you should be doing that anyway as windows sends so much data off to the NSA anyway.

Do you have a link for the blog post? I'd love to read more about that.

Since we disagree in how big the gap is, and neither of us is going to get a satisfactory answer out of a chip maker any time soon, perhaps a different argument: there are plenty or microcode updates all the time, doing more than fix just security bugs. There are also security bugs like M1racles which have nothing to do with performance incentives. If these can all be explained by a lecture halls worth of people finding things most wouldn't post release of the chip then why does the same situation on security issues require unique explanation?
So I think it's true that China is, for a totalitarian regime, relatively science-friendly on high-stakes stuff (or, at least, it is _today_; it very much wasn't in the Mao era - see the whole War on Sparrows thing). Archaeology (with the exception of its intersection with climate science) is relatively low-stakes, though; the downsides of getting it wrong for ideological reasons are limited.

Spike protein looks like iron transport inhibitor hepcidin (discovered fairly recently) and it's speculated it inhibits iron uptake by cells and prevents cells from moving excess iron out so one could end up with cellular-level anemia or its opposite.

As opposed to being paid directly by the people they're supposed to hold accountable?

Government-funded media would at least have a fighting chance of being neutral, checks and balances and all. By all accounts the US justice system is corrupt as well, but it would obviously be orders of magnitude worse if you outsourced it to private corporations.

How was the tool in question, the tool the book authors were outraged about, "stealing their IP"? It's also unclear how it would make any money at all -- indeed, the tool's author even said it made no money.
I really don't. It puts one tool in the position of having to be good at all those things; and implicitly puts one ecosystem in a privileged position compared to everything else in the project by default, rather than by choice. It also means the file format of that one tool needs to be hammered into shape for every use case, and if it's something lobotomised like JSON, everyone suffers.

Give me a Makefile any day. Yes, that's a specific choice of top-level tool, but it's a better choice than most for that specific top-level job because you just shell out to whatever else you need. Not having to rebuild dependency management is a win, too, where you can take advantage of it.

Apple surely has the interest and money to buy big parts of Disney‘s movie catalog. But Disney is much more than that.

Until the recent CEO, it was mostly a park + franchising company and most of its assets are still physical.

No way Apple would buy Disney as a whole. They only need the content. Potentially, this also leaves Disney in a strategically healthy place as well and helps them focus on their original core business.

I was so annoyed having burnt a ton of time going through a number of rounds, submitted an essay, and then giving an extensive presentation only to get a cold, bland, automated rejection email.

But the thing is, the world of GoT isn't a realistic depiction of how medieval society would mutate due to dragons and zombies; it has so many divergences that George Martin's claim to be depicting a more realistic medieval society than in other fantasy worlds just does not hold. Like ACOUP points out, Westerns looks more like the Renaissance or even Victorian England.

It's not just religion (which, by the way: why do the dragon-riding Targaryens also do NOT believe in zombies or gods?).

It's also the feudal system. It didn't work like in GoT, as Brett from ACOUP shows. Medieval tactics (without dragons, how much of the battles happen in the books and show) don't work like that either. The bannermen system cannot sustain such large armies. Kings didn't randomly mistreat their populations. Logistics don't work like in GoT -- and that's current real world logistics, not even medieval! Steppe people weren't like the Dothraki. And so on and on.

Martin's world is pretty cool (to me, anyway) but is in no way more "realistic" than the Disneyland worlds he complains against.

> is currently restructuring its farming subsidies to, among other things, encourage sustainable farming and mitigate food security risk ... reduce their flock by 90% or so

That seems reasonable to me. The UK has experienced heavy deforestation and holds one of the highest percentages of land dedicated to animal farming, if I recall correctly. Animal ag is a very inefficient and polluting way to feed the population.

> is currently restructuring its farming subsidies to, among other things, encourage sustainable farming and mitigate food security risk

In my opinion, the best approach would be to reforest or rewild those pastures. After all, those pastures were mostly forests in the past. This protect biodiversity and wildlife, improve local microclimates, and help the country achieve its climate goals. Although grazing is sometimes promoted as a regenerative technique, scientific evidence suggests otherwise.

A potential solution could involve government subsidies for afforesting those pastures, similar to what New Zealand is doing.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22120...

Promotion of afforestation in New Zealand’s marginal agricultural lands through payments for environmental services

"We find that even without PES, 56% of these agricultural lands present lower economic returns than forestry. When PES are considered, results suggest that, depending on the PES schemes and carbon prices, 77–100% of the low-productivity grassland areas could financially benefit from afforestation."

> It’s a hard problem that ought to have been solved decades ago.

Given the reference to a common ancestor, I suspect that they means something more along the lines of "birds aren't reptiles", which is or is not true depending on what you mean by "reptile".

It's not like there exists any small player who can even imagine building a fab like that.

These are for the most part digital chips. If you make a cycle accurate replacement, they're close enough in that they for most users won't change the output. E.g. here's an in-progress cycle accurate 6510/8500 replacement, that is if anything more compatible than some of the alternative "period" licensed 6502/6510/8500 designs, where support for the undocumented instructions vary:

Nobody that currently exists - at least to my knowledge. This is a hard, mostly thankless problem. Distros solved a similar problem, but they have different motivations and so didn't fully solve everything. Languages like rust have a partial solution, but they don't play well with other languages and the full complexity that can result.
