My understanding is that Qualcomm charges a percentage of the total device price and tries to bundle sales of other components, too. That would really discourage designs with integrated modems unless you were certain a large percentage of buyers would want to pay a premium for that feature.
That’s not how it works! Lithium is a fuel that gets used up by stars immediately whenever it might be produced in trace amounts. Unlike hydrogen, lithium wasn’t produced in the Big Bang. So most of the lithium that remains in the universe is produced outside of the cores of stars through the interaction of cosmic rays with other matter. Needless to say, that’s not a very common interaction (relatively speaking).

Now if you look at how larger stars operate (the CNO cycle [1]) you’ll see that it matches up with the higher relative abundance of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in the universe. Lithium, beryllium, and boron get “skipped over” in a sense.

Furthermore, if you look at a graph of the relative abundance of all elements, you’ll note that odd-numbered elements are less abundant than even (with the exceptions of hydrogen and beryllium). This is called the Oddo-Harkins rule [2] and it may also be playing a role.

Edit: I should also add that the third major process in stars, triple-α [3], involves the fusion of three helium-4 nuclei into one carbon-12 nucleus. This occurs in older stars that have exhausted most of their hydrogen fuel and so have built up a large core of “inert” helium. When their outward pressure from hydrogen fusion is no longer high enough to withstand gravity, they reach the much higher pressures and temperatures needed for triple-α fusion. Unfortunately for the lithium industry, there’s no chance of producing lithium this way since it is skipped over on the way to carbon.

I’m curious: if one of the board members “knows” the only way for OpenAI to be truly successful is for it to be a non-profit and “don’t be evil” (Google’s mantra), that if they set expectations correctly and put caps on the for-profit side, it could be successful. But they didn’t fully appreciate how strong the market forces would be, where all of the focus/attention/press would go to the for-profit side. Sam’s side has such an intrinsic gravity, that’s it’s inevitable that it will break out of its cage.

Note: I’m not making a moral claim one way or the other, and I do agree that most tech companies will grow to a size/power/monopoly that their incentives will deviate from the “common good”. Are there examples of openai’s structure working correctly with other companies?

I was amazed how well underground trains accelerate in Amsterdam and Munich. Also, how pleasant they are, and the interior design pleasantly fresh, with good amount of space and good-sized windows. That tube stock we have from the 70s looks really, really dated in 2020s. And the new ones look exactly the same, just even smaller windows? I can't imagine why they went ahead with that purchase.
I used Blazor Server to build a hobby project of mine [1] and must say I am pleasantly surprised. Not having to build a separate client and duplicating code and models is really nice. I use my project daily and it is surprisingly fast to use, and the dropped connection does not bother me too much.

I would not recommend using it for anything other than smaller applications where users are expected to have a steady connection though. But for smaller applications it’s a nice alternative, cutting some of the effort required to get an application out there.

It would be very easy to implement in software. Just display a green and yellow/red bar on the battery status icon and allow for people to say full is 80%, empty is 20%. Or something.

For me it is well worth going from charger to charger (they are everywhere, especially if you put some wireless chargers here and there) if that means the phone can still do a full day after 5 years.

I generally use phones until they stop working. I'm into my 3rd year with my iPhone 12 mini, the phone is still super fast, takes great pictures and still feels like "my new phone".
Depends on the city and airport.

Atlanta for example is a huge busy airport but also serves a lot of regional connections. I have flow in on a 757 and transferred to a much smaller regional jet to hop to a smaller city or town.
> Separating the last mile infrastructure from the ISP can make it possible to have natural monopoly for everybody's last miles, but widespread competition for ISPs. That might be really hard to pull off in the US but I think it'd be worth striving for.

Or even better, the model we have in France. The last mile is a monopoly for a limited time only (2-3 years). So if you build a connection to some place that didn't have one, you can profit off exclusivity for some time, and are incentivised to be good to the consumers because they can switch, but will probably ony do so if you're shit/too expensive.

In the case of spot markets CFTC can only intervene if there is a fraud or manipulation.

Wondering too. It does look like it though. It has that noisyness / fuzziness that makes it sometimes a bit too random compared to earth continents. I found that it works best for earth like map simulations (with water basically) when combined with some terrain physics (moving plaques of random sizes and other geological elements) to generate the high level details, and Perlin on top for the natural noisiness. For other planets though it does great.
Give it a week until it is exactly that that did actually happen (not saying it has been orchestrated, just talking net result).
I think recording of police officers in public is absolutely allowed, but standing around the lobby of a precinct recording, that feels like a step too far. The article described the person doing the filming as an agitator, and I get why they are doing it, but the confrontational nature of the filming just seems like the wrong way to go.

As the article discusses, I agree that a victim reporting a crime may feel very uncomfortable standing in the lobby of a police precinct while being recorded by someone.
> Good point! Better sit at home and not even try in that case.

That's not what I said.

And not even trying what ? I'm not saying you can't create a succesful company and earn a lot of money. I'm talking about power. The type of power those people have is virtually inaccessible to anyone. Because they have enough money to stop you in your way up. They have a wide range of options between destructing your business, taking control of it, or giving you enough money so that you stop your ascension.
It just confirmed what was already a rumor, the board of OpenAI was just a gimmick, Altman held all the strings and maybe cares, or not, about safety. Remember this is a man of the highest ambition.
1 isn't relevant to property value directly. You don't need to build in this case, the land value is higher because once you do sell the land can be much more profitably developed.

2. If we're playing game theory (and we should be) then this is wrong, as it will drive up Vancouver land prices (since that's the area people want to live) and push down suburb land. NIMBYism is a whole bunch of localities playing the exact same exclusionary game, so if this was something that was a main point of contention for the nimbys Van proper nimby's would be in favor, which they mostly aren't. Maple Ridge, Langley, etc. don't have a say at the local NIMBY level over Vancouver and so wasn't really considered in my claim because they don't matter. If everyone was operating on game theory contingent on this idea, Vancouver could approve this, collect their higher land prices and Langley could stay low density and it would solve a lot of this housing problem and each city would rightly have no say in what the other did. Van is still against so caring about the housing price in Langley obviously isn't driving their NIMBYism.

3. Transit and uber issues affect pricing dynamics in the suburbs, which I wasn't talking about. Your original post mentions Vancouver, not the suburbs.

Our school district has an in-between approach: they buy cheaper devices (ChromeBooks and iPads) without cellular connections but they have Wi-Fi hotspots they’ll give to qualifying students who wouldn’t otherwise have access.

My hope is that more voters will see municipal Wi-Fi as a valuable utility since we have dark fiber all over the city because they’re choosing not to compete with Verizon.

> why AI could potentially destroy to humans?

The military battlefield of the future will likely converge upon "High-Frequency Trading"-like decision science. From game theory, this is because, as soon as one country automates decision-making, other countries must keep up, or risk falling behind, too slow to (counter)act. Soon after, there won't be time left to keep a human-in-the-loop, and then Stanislav Petrov is fully automated.

Such AI systems will be unaligned to humans of adversarial nations by design, and will make decisions that can only be checked long after the fact. Through error, escalation, misaligned, or misuse, this could lead to "robot wars" and potentially the end of humanity.

> What is the scenario(s) people are thinking about?

Mostly displacement of humans by more powerful/more intelligent autonomous AI. Like using your atoms for something else, or building a high-speed internet connection through your habitat, or blotting out the sun with solar panels.

Somewhat like a rationalist "God" that is terrible and vengeful. Or how an evil AI may take over the world in a Harry Potter fanfic.

Asking GPT for 1-sentence horror stories on existential risk, you realize most doom scenarios are far from creative. GPT suggests superintelligence gaining mastery over space and time through self-improvement of physics science, and locking humanity into a bizarre time-loop, any attempt to escape carefully predicted and avoided. Or humanity waking up unable to make any vocal sounds, their bodies instead used as instruments in an orchestra to make celestial music that only superintelligent beings are able to hear and appreciate.

Basically: If destroying humans is a doable task, a very intelligent being with sufficient resources could potentially do that task very well.
> They have been loud on crypto and now it's this stochastic parrot

Okay. So there are investors hyping these things. You claimed that "ChatGPT launching a few weeks within the collapse of FTX" is not a coincidence. What it is then? Do you believe some of these investors seen FTX collapse and decided to make ChatGPT? Do you believe that OpenAI was delaying the release of ChatGPT until FTX collapsed?

What is the connection if they are not coincidence? Please be as specific as you can.

Yes, in PRP they take your blood, extract platelet-rich plasma from it and inject it into your joint.

With SVF they make you a small liposuction (around 80 ml if I am not mistaken, local anesthesia),
then also extract cells from it that are similar in function to stem cells and inject them into your knee.

PRP is very noninvasive.
SVF is more invasive, mostly the liposuction part, but I'd say it's still walk-in the part if you compare it with something like arthroscopic surgery.

Workers AI Update: Hello Mistral 7B
Adding to this - it's really interesting the safety stuff that *is* in this paper. Such as:

> We probe some of the categories where we see a larger difference (e.g., violent) and
observe that Orca 2 tends to counter the harmful positions more often (which is penalized
by the metric), while models that have gone through RLHF safety training tend to decline
to respond more often (which is rewarded by the metric).

Or the fact Orca 2 is less likely to extend hate speech than Llama-2-chat which theoretically went through safety fine tuning even though Orca 2 did not have any explicit safety fine tuning.

Research over the past year has really demonstrated (a) just how impactful fine tuning can be - to the point of transmitting capabilities from larger models to smaller, and (b) that we're still clumsily wading through that process with only partial clarity on best practices as the foundational pretrained models get better and better at astounding rates.
> They're not rich. There's no fixed 30 year mortgage in Canada, only 5 year fixed.

And yet the home ownership rates are basically the same in the two countries (~65%), and the median net worth of Canadians is higher than that of Americans:

* https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/1012/u.s.-or-can...

And outside the last 2-3 years, short-term, variable-rate mortgages have been a better deal the majority (90%) of the time (especially since the 1980s with mostly-falling rates):

> Many fans of variable mortgages quote research by Moshe Milevsky, a professor of finance at York University. He found that, between 1950 and 2000, Canadian homeowners would have been better off with a variable mortgage almost 90% of the time. More recently, between 2007 and 2022, the five-year variable interest rate has mostly been lower than the five-year fixed rate, sometimes considerably so.
