It may not scale, but it's not greenwashing - for it to be green washing, you'd need either claims of lower co2 to be false, or pretend that this solves the issue completely.

Lufthansa, at least - when I checked - made no such claim. I reviewed their compensaid site thoroughly (afraid it's just greenwashing), and their communication seems very honest.

This study was focused on the US egg export market, so they were looking at moisture loss, which affects how "fresh" an egg looks and tastes, but they did not look at the rate that eggs go bad. Egg exporters don't sell rotten eggs -- that's the consumer's problem -- so that fell outside the scope of the study.

The theory is that sanitizing process makes the shell more permeable, which makes it easier for random bacteria in the environment to infect the egg; thus it risks going rotten faster. Refrigeration slows down the growth of these microbes, thus counteracting the increase in permability.
Plenty of musicians make money doing live performances. Since Spotify, record sales are just not a great revenue stream any more. I don't see AI impacting this much. But of course there are going to be some musicians that specialize in background music or other forms of, relatively, low value music work that are going to be affected by this.
Very nice... Shame no source code. But super nice idea.

The same arguments were made to dismiss rock music when compared to classical music. And a world without the Velvet Underground would be more soulless to me.

I've heard soulless music performed by highly trained musicians playing on great instruments. And soulful music played on crappy instruments by untrained musicians. On average, the great music comes from the more trained musicians on the better tools.

AI is just another tool. The vast majority of music is terrible. It will continue to be terrible. And a few geniuses will use AI the way Hendrix used the electric guitar. I'm excited to hear what that will sound like.

But it isn't a tech problem. It is a social problem.

Our society is not sustainable as-is. We don't need new tech to make the status quo sustainable, we need actual societal change. Less travel, more localization. Less cars, more public transport. Grow, shop, and consume local resources. Share talents to make that work. Build community, not corporations, etc.

Tech doesn't stop us from doing all that. What stops us is that many people don't want those changes.

Only if you think that guidelines about how to write code should be devoid of the context of the problem you're trying to solve. I happen to think that this is mostly wrong.
It's only people like Graham Hancock who thinks that hunter gatherers are primitive and unable to do anything organized. The reality is that they were perfectly capable, and they even have quite a bit more time on their hands than an agricultural society (which until very recently had to work day and night to survive - wait, it's still like that, for modern farmers in my own country. No time for holidays, ever).
The only thing hunter gatherers were lacking compared to agricultural societies was a possible difference in manpower, though for the latter all that manpower was occupied with farming.

I think Graham Hancock & co are confusing hunter-gatherers with nomads always on the move, with nothing more than they could carry. But that's nomads, nobody claimed nomads built Göbekli Tepe.
I think the position you expressing here is more of a hope than an actual reality. People already love AI art. Sure, when its been a deception people are upset. And the bars are set higher when you're upfront with the use of it. But the experiences it enables are great! I've already seen a dramatic uptick in the graphical quality of many indie games made by one or two man teams. When AI music becomes the norm, artists using it will simply outcompete those that don't, in exactly the same way bad autotune gave way to good autotune gave way to "wow she's a good singer" and now intentionally bad autotune becomes an instrument
Unlikely given the dimensionality and complexity of the search space. Besides, we probably don’t even care about the global minimum: the loss we’re optimising is a proxy for what we really care about (performance on unseen data). Counter-example: a model that perfectly memorises the training data can be globally optimal (ignoring regularization), but is not very useful.
Lets make ourselves redundant.

In Germany, and maybe other countries as well, the tomato cans have a 3 digit number printed on the bottom of the can. 220 for example. That's the canning date. The good ones, read Italian ones, usually also include a 2 letter code, like SA for Salerno, which indicates origin.

Obviously not a guarantee, but you can at least eliminate ones that were canned too early or too late depending on variety.
Common advice is to pick the ones canned between 215 and 245 (Early August to early September) as that's the typical harvest time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbon_(computing)#/media/File...

Okay, please show me the categories in this picture, and the logic of their relation to one another.

For example, the ribbon in the picture is under the "Home" Top-Level category. It has a subcategory called "Editing". But there is another toplvl category named "Insert". Why is that not under "Editing"? Is inserting something in the document not editing? Why is "Editing" not a toplvl category? What is "Design" (another toplvl), and how does it relate to Editing, Inserting and Drawing? Why is "Find" under "Editing"?

Also, the entire Ribbon is RIDDLED with scrollbars and drop down menus. Some buttons are themselves text-labeled, others are not, there are different sizes and layouts.

Also, left of the "Home" toplvl is another giant button, that has only a logo, and apparently leads to further functionality. And above the toplvl bar is another bar with what seems to be save, back, forward, and what I can only assume is another dropdown menu.

So please, do tell, where and how, and by what principle is this organized?
> If a system could lower the barrier to entry, then you could also make an argument that a music AI makes it a more level playing field.

The barrier of entry is a business one, not a talent or skill one. Every country in the world has virtuoso musicians who don't earn money. Many/most of the hugely successful musicians released music that could be recreated pretty convincingly by amateurs with a few years of experience (vocals are probably the only exception as we strongly associate them with individuals).

I was discussing with a client how to integrate our software with his.

He sent me a screenshot of the main form.

I put the screenshot into ChatGPT and said “make a react form like this in bootstrap”.

Made some adjustments, added my software, a few hours later showed the client who was knocked out to see a proof of concept of our systems integrated so quickly.

When doing web development I often take a screenshot of a problem with css layout, upload to ChatGPT and ask how to fix it.

The demo shown in the tweet seems pretty similar.

> People who enjoy designing over-engineered cathedrals and can't be bothered to think about the low-level efficiency of their algorithms.

When that's deliberate, I'd say it's good.

Quite often we need to optimize for maintenance. Or for high churn in developers. For readability. Adaptability. And so on. Each optimization is a trade-off. It's not always "performance vs readability", but quite often it is.

If we spend time and effort on the low-level efficiency of algorithms, AND that comes at the cost of readability, adaptability, maintainability or any other -ility, we should very deliberate make a choice: does performance matter more than X. The answer is suprisingly often "no". And it's one of the many reasons why today's software is slow, bloated, battery-eating and unstable.

Well, the times when that choice is not made deliberately are probably more to blame.

That's distinct from the failure of communication. I believe GP meant something closer to what we'd call a "brain fart", where you read the text correctly, but "understood" something different.

> I don't think children have problems telling the difference between fantasy and reality. If a child isn't telling the truth, most of the time it's not because they can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood

Do you have children? I've been saying that GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 failure modes are disturbingly similar to the failure modes of my own kid, who happens to be 4.5 right now. I mean it.

It's a realization that hit me when I started noticing her "context window" growing - when she'd go into story mode, telling some fantasy stuff like having a sister giraffe who flies a helicopter or whatnot, I could tell that, if she doesn't mention something again within 30 seconds, it would never be mentioned again - a forgotten detail. That window of time kept growing over subsequent months, and is too large to notice now, but hey, the entire way she'd construct her stories was very similar to what you get when you prompt the LLM for a story and just let it keep writing.

Anyway, on the parenting stuff:

> it's not because they can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood, but because they are deliberately lying to you for one reason or another - e.g. they don't want to get punished.

That's true at a later age. Early on, even at 3 y.o., they get genuinely confused about reality.
So the whales are saying: "May They Never Secede" talking about the wells, in reference to the confederacy whom already seceded. And they say this because obviously if the wells "seceded", humans would go back to whale hunting.

You are not a sample size of 1, I completely agree with you.

People hate reading low-quality content created by humans, and as far as I’ve seen, AI-generated articles are even worse.

Even if someone manages to use AI-generated content to trick Google and rank well, I suspect that will be really bad for the content creator’s brand: people will read it only once, and as they realize it’s AI-generated, they will never come back.

People hate content farms.
You would think resetting a breaker could be automatically or remotely done based on some telemetry from a self diagnostic system (or lack of expected telemetry). I would think remotely monitored cameras and a voice interface (would be a nice feature) on the charger would be a more efficient way for watching vandalism and communicating with customers.

One other aspect is the tomatoes sold in supermarkets have to be varieties that can withstand some considerable time being trucked around, where as presumably the canning facilities are regional to the growers.
That’s a good point, although I would still maintain that they constitute a different “type” of person than those that reside in their country of origin, because most people don’t uproot their lives to move between countries. Whether or not that correlates with being more of an independent thinker, I don’t know.

Because iMessage seamlessly integrates into SMS/MMS, and very few Americans rely on alternative apps for their primary messaging platform.

As for why blue bubbles? No idea. Best guess is it's seen as a status thing - green bubbles are non-iPhone users. The only other theory I have is that iMessage is cross-platform with other Apple devices, but that is a strong argument for other messaging apps IMO.

Nice strawman you got there. No misanthropy in my post, just calling out someone who thinks being away from the hustle and bustle for a few days then returning home to a (presumably loving) wife is enough to know about the general effects of solitude.

Interesting!

From the cited paper itself:

> The top 5 consumers in 2020 were China, Brazil, India, USA, and Australia

But also:

> In contrast, Australia now also appears among the top 5 –however, in the absence of any public report of AMU since 2010 [29], usage for Australia was obtained through extrapolation, as with other countries that do not report data. Therefore, predictions may not accurately reflect the current country efforts to reduce AMU.

So it's not clear if the data actually is accurate (and the paper really is about how accurate data is missing for many countries).
Feels like this is where having the LLM "think out loud" helps. I've seen examples where a model makes a mistake and then corrects itself.
The "chain of thought" thing where you tell it to "think step by step" is a slightly different thing. That's a single forward pass, where it can only reason based on what it output earlier. But once you reply to it, and the interface feeds the whole conversation back to the LLM, it now can look at the entirety of its previous answer.
And RCS being worse, as people don't even know it exists so they don't even accidentally use it.
There are still people that appreciate watching someone play a guitar or violin or piano, or make traditional art, because the character of the artist comes through. For example, with classical pieces, each musician plays the composition a little bit differently, and so their character comes through, their soul. I don't think a machine can really replace that, because there are still people that like to listen to live artists play at a classical concert or in a coffeeshop, when that same music has been able to be composed electronically for a couple of decades now.

The problem though is that fewer and fewer people are interested in this sort of thing and more interested in generic electronic garbage background music, as others have said. Classical concerts are getting less attendance over time, there are less acoustic or live performances, etc. People altogether seem to no longer buy traditional art because they can buy prints that look good on the wall. The point of buying traditional art isn't just it looking good, because like musicians, the character of the artist and their personality comes through in the paint strokes, color choices, design, composition, etc. Which is why people close to the artist often appreciate the work even more than a stranger would (ie: your 4-old child's school drawing), because the way it's created reminds you of that person and their soul/spirit.
The idea of an authorized secret human imposter is really what makes it for me.

I wouldn't want to find a customer without a liability veil in place. At least in my state, an LLC is maybe $150 to set up and $70 every ten years. The paperwork is really 1 notarized form plus your bylaws (templates are available) and a report every 10 years. That's a small price for liability protection. If you make it generic enough, you can reuse it for future business ideas too.
That's not why that stuff is labelled "conspiracy theory". What's labelled like that are theories about conspiracies, e.g. that all 400000 who worked on the Apollo program was in it together to fake a moon landing, or that all the world's archaeologists are "in it together" to suppress information (one which Mr. Hancock subscribes to).

Theories that are just claimed wacky and requiring no conspiracy "to suppress the truth" are called fringe theories, not conspiracy theories.

So, yes, "Fringe hypotheses" may be worthy of consideration, sometimes.. but conspiracy hypotheses are not worthy of consideration, because for those to turn out true would actually need a real huge conspiracy of people who knows it's true but agree to suppress said truth. If anything you hear needs a conspiracy in order to not be accepted then you can safely dismiss it. If it's just fringe then feel free to pursue it.
This is specifically a competition for young people. It's totally based around age and that's fine. A teenager doesn't have the luxury of 20 years of professional experience.
>Anything you can run on Itanium is almost certainly going to work better on AMD64.

I worked on a project targeting hp superdomes (PA RISC). When that architecture was on its way out they started looking at amd64 as a replacement though Itaniun was the “successor” to hp risc and could run hpux (HP was involved somehow). It really never took off. The advance compilers that would give itanium software speed never really happened.
