YouTube’s content policy regularly demonetizes history channels, even ones which are throughly self-censoring and separating the most likely to be demonetized content into separate videos.

The EU digital services act incentivized YouTube to ramp up age restrictions to avoid running afoul of the law which basically strangles the financial viability of much of this content since you need to be logged in and the less people who see it the less people will be shown the video. So it’s not just simply YouTube mulling things and going they don’t want this content on their platform, it’s YouTube thinking it’s easier to blanket block everything and ask questions later in response to regulation. It’s not just how things have always been on YouTube things are getting worse and will get worse as more and more organizations believe YouTube needs to be reformed by threatening them and YouTube continues utilizing the cheapest laziest forms of compliance.

We’re creating a world which isn’t in anybodies best interest just to be risk adverse against pissing off whatever special interest be it copyright holders, advertisers, or governments.

That's not accurate. They were losing about $2,000 on the lowest-tier models. See https://theticker.org/11334/business/general-motors-to-stop-....

Still, to your point, the logical solution there would be to find cheaper ways to manufacture the car people want, not try to demand people buy other cars that are cheaper to make. They weren't even trying to be manipulative about it - they were just like "nope, you can't have this anymore, but please still give us your money."

How is it possible to spend $9M to rehabilitate one individual?

If there’s anyone familiar with this or from the product team would sincerely appreciate any insights on this scenario.

Looking at the AGPL license, where would the licensing prevent or impact building an independent source code plug-in to integrate n to a piece of software that calls the hosted service via API, or an unmodified self-hosted copy?

For me it helps spread awareness and use of a well made open source signature tool.
Ah, I read it as "worth" or maybe having spent that much in work across ownership, not as a one time cost. The rest I'm sharing just as a picture of life in the states.

Children in the US can begin work at 14, and assuming he either bought or was gifted a low value project car that he began putting money into from the age of 15 when he would have been eligible for his learner's permit, he could have been earning for up to 5 years before his latest job.

It's also not unheard of for children to own vehicles before they're old enough to legally drive them. There are no license or minimum age requirements for ATVs in some states, and in rural areas, some children begin using them to commute (off-road) as soon as they're large enough to operate them. One of our local schools had stables for horses, and another had chargers for golf carts. While helmets weren't legally required, the schools encouraged them.

In 2020, McDonald's paid cashiers just over $11/hr, so if he worked there just 500 hours each year from the ages of 15 to 18 (10 hours a week), he would have been able to earn over $20K before he was 19 without much effort - or earned all of that in a single year after graduating high school and working full time.

If he was a car enthusiast who wanted to work at an auto shop, like NAPA Auto Parts ($15/hr base), he'd have been able to earn $15K in two years working the same part time schedule. He also would have received full state and federal taxes back each year, so it would have been near to gross earnings.

This isn't really uncommon here. Everything costs something, so most people have to work starting from their teens. Insurance, for instance, is expensive for young men, so if he hadn't been paying on his car's current cash value (or at all) to control costs, he may have received nothing on the vehicle after it was totaled, but he wouldn't have owed anything. By 19, he'd already be used to living paycheck to paycheck.

And while there's no limit to what someone can spend on their car, I'm also taking $15K as an embellishment. $8-10K is more normal for moderate aftermarket work, including labor, and some people buy, sell, and trade up often. I'd believe a teenager spending $3-8K on used aftermarket and then telling people it was "worth $15K", estimating it would have cost around that if they'd bought new and had the work done professionally.
High efficiency scrubbing appears to be feasible.

I'm sympathetic to your take on how overly grandiose the language is, but I also think you're being too harsh here.

The idea that the universe is discrete/computational is a fine idea, but underspecified and useless on its own. There's an infinite array of computable rules to choose from. But the fact that with a few assumptions on the rules you can then limit to both GR and QM is very non-trivial and, in my opinion, pretty surprising.

To your point, does it prove that this is _the_ correct theory? Definitely not, and metering language around the claims is important. Still, the result feels novel, surprising, and worthy of further investigation, alongside the other popular models being explored. I think it's a shame that Wolfram's demeanor turns people off from the work.

>150 ± 20 nmol s−1 cm−2

Isn't this miniscule? Is this commercially viable?

Edit: The molecular mass of nitrogen is 28, so 1 mol is 28 grams, so 150 nmol is 28 x150 nano grams = 4.2 micro grams. How much gas is this?
I don't think it's realistic as a fuel for cars, but "worldwide transportation" means more than that. I suspect they're talking about container ships, tankers, and such.

Ammonia is easier to liquify than hydrogen, and is in many respects easier to handle. However, it's definitely not something you want to have a spill of at a gas station or in your garage, and for that reason, it probably won't have "consumer" uses.

As far as industrial gasses go, it's certainly nowhere near the worst, and there's plenty of ammonia tankers on the roads today, but large spills do kill people every now and then.

Serious citation needed on that. Most people said Apple did a good job and that Qualcomm needed to step it up considerably to stay in the game. If they have, that’ll be great for many millions of buyers so competition will have worked exactly the way we wanted it to.
> For example, I would call people contesting the right of Israel to exist, despite many generations of Israelis living in that area, despite the UN's recognition of the state of Israel, and despite the historic connection of the Jewish people to that land (and there are ofcourse many non-Jewish Israelis which people tend to overlook), anti-semitic. If someone aligns themselves with this message, I would also tend to consider them anti-semitic.

The 'right of Israel to exist' is the right to maintain (by force) a demographic majority created by mass expulsion because Israel is an ethnostate in which only one race has full civil rights. Allowing the right of return to Palestinian refugees and their descendants to the homes from which they have been expelled since 1948 is the negation of Israel's 'right to exist' because 'existence' here has nothing whatsoever to do with the existence or survival of Israeli citizens.

There is absolutely nothing annihilationist (nor anti-Semitic) in denying Israel's 'right to exist'. Despite its pretensions to the contrary when convenient, Israel is not 'the Jewish state' and its people is not the Jewish people.

Rehab is an industry, if you have money there is a lot of high end places which are basically luxurious hotels with loads additional staff monitoring you 24×7 .

I am speaking as a user of the product and offering feedback - the whole point behind Tor is to protect your anonymity and that's hard to do when the browser itself is leaking your IP (and other data) to some service you don't even care about. At best, such kind of integrated services should be opt-in only by default. (Note that Firefox services are now opt-in too in Tor).
I'm not sure I'd leap to "much simpler storage problems than for hydrogen" for a highly corrosive gas.

The lower explosive limit of hydrogen is ~4%. By comparison the 300 ppm immediate danger to life and health threshold of ammonia is .03%.

It is intrinsically dangerous, i.e. without a source of ignition, at concentrations 2 orders of magnitude lower than the LEL of hydrogen.

Not every hydrogen leak is a concern, but just about every ammonia leak is.

The established OSHA 15 minute exposure limit for ammonia is 35 ppm, 8 hours is 25 ppm.

Panopticon techniques are real, they work on multiple levels, and there are bad people who organize to use them. The dignity of your humanity is not guaranteed in this world (or free), and it requires conscious vigilence to develop it and preserve it. We legit worry that the internet has become a panopticon and our tech is devouring our civilizations, but it also gave us the most devastating antidote to it that no tyranny can or has ever survived. It's one word, every machination is powerless against it, and to forever secure our humanity I will share it here by example:

Whats paradoxical though is how these vehicles lasted decades. Sure they had issues, but trabants, skodas, dacias, yugos, all worked for decades - of course they required maintenance but were so basic that anyone could do it. Somehow modern cars have all the gadgets yet fall apart once out of leasing and last 10 years at most.

Yellow vests protests and Occupy Wall St. are examples of ineffective movements: lacking identification of root causes of problems, lacking specific demands to redress, lacking leaders, or lacking resolve. XR is also sort-of in this camp.

The unfortunate reality is declarations about existential peril and what we "should" be doing fall on deaf ears of policymakers and regulators where particular governments are de facto run by the billionaires. Most necessary changes cannot happen without first defenestrating corporate lobbyists and the money politicians receive. This won't happen by elections, by reform from within (Sen. John McCain discovered this), or by wishing for it. And honestly, most US politicians should be in prison because they do more than just take stacks of cash and gold bars to fund reelection media buys, many allow their attention and votes to be curried for it, and even propose bills verbatim from the lobbyists of their benefactors.

Change can only happen externally by many, sustained, nonviolent mass demonstrations sufficient to achieve specific policy objectives. ("World peace" and "save the planet" aren't policies, while "phase out all coal power plants in 5 years" is.)

In absence of the people demanding specific actions and changes, the "green revolution" will be half-assed for renewables in electricity (currently at 30% worldwide, may top out at 80-90%), but that's about it. No net negative global emissions and not much carbon sequestration. Ultra-processing and megafarming practices sure as shit won't change by debate or wishful thinking alone.

> Turing Test is not casually passing as human in casual interaction. It is stumping a human dedicated to rooting out that it is a machine who is aware that one of the participants is a machine.

It's a good point to bring up that what counts as "passing as human" is ambiguous, because people are using different definitions.

I'm reminded of how trans people say that passing is a spectrum, and not a binary. There's a difference between passing in the distance, passing from 20 meters away, passing when interacting with service workers (like cashiers, receptionists, etc.) or in other quick interactions, and passing with your friends, family, and coworkers. Maybe someone trans passes in quick interactions, but not in an extended face-to-face conversation with a stranger. I've also heard that people relatively ignorant of trans people are less likely to perceive them as their birth sex compared to people who are liberal or who aren't but spend a lot of time reading about them anyway (e.g. certain feminists and conservatives). Those people are likely to see someone wear a dress and take the mental shortcut of categorizing them as a woman, not paying attention to details that others would have, unless it's extremely obvious that they don't pass.

The same can be applied to AI. A language model might pass as a human to someone who doesn't know about AI; or to someone who knows about AI, but isn't expecting it in a certain context; but still not manage to stump the person who suspects and tries to figure out who's an AI and who's a human.

At atmospheric pressure Ammonia liquifies at −28 °F (−33.3 °C), Hydrogen −423.17 °F (−252.87 °C). That alone is a vast improvement. You can build a car/boat/aircraft that keeps its Ammonia fuel tank cool with minimal effort however it’s wildly impractical with hydrogen.

Add the issues with hydrogen embrittlement and Ammonia starts to look trivial by comparison. People deal with industrial quantities of Ammonia on a regular basis without significant issues. Hell even gasoline and diesel are toxic and can be quite dangerous

It is certainly easier to liquefy, I can't argue that point.
That’s a bigger problem than barcodes then.
I had played Veloren a long time ago, so I just tried it again.

My items were still there (nice!) but I was not dealing anywhere near as much damage as I expected. Maybe there was power creep? And more concerning, all NPCs attacked me on sight, shouting "murderer", and I have no idea why. I tried asking in chat, which was surprisingly international, but got no answers. The manual doesn't explain any aspect of the game world either.

I guess that's the danger of MMORPGs in constant development. It's hard to integrate existing characters and guides with new behavior.

Also, I'm thoroughly impressed with the new UI and reflection rendering. It's coming along really nicely.

A few years ago I realized that getting older (40+) means having to slowly see almost every symbol you've grown up with becoming completely obsolete and/or dying. It filled me with dread thinking about Chuck Norris, Arnold, Stallone, etc.

Yeah, and a while ago there seemed to be people who didn't think it was F/OSS, and wanted to avoid it because it might reduce the likelihood of someone contributing.

One thing I do think that people misunderstand is that a company can absolutely take your project and run it as a service -- they just have to contribute code back if/when they modify it.
