Some private properties really are part of the public sphere, counting for the protection of free speech. The main example being printed newspapers, that will print opinion pieces sent to them, even when they go against the private owner's interest, even when the opinion piece comes from a political enemy. They are privately owned public forums.

Other examples of public spheres in private hands are the internet provider you're using to read my comment and write your own reply. The ISP doesn't interfere with your free speech. E-Mail is another great example of a public sphere. You can freely send your opinion to any and all the people you want.

In some countries, all unexploited nature is considered public space. Trump's Twitter was deemed a public forum.

It has nothing to do with government ownership, even though most physical public forums are government owned, such as parks, streets and squares.
Lithium is not very universally abundant.

You cannot estimate abundance by atomic number like that. The big bang produced mostly hydrogen and helium, with traces of lithium and beryllium. The elements heavier than that are mostly produced by stars, and the physics of fusion have a massive impact on what elements, specifically, get made. Free protons join together to become helium-4 much more readily than any other fusion process, meaning that by the time heavier things start forming, the raw material is entirely ⁴He.

This means that things that are easily made of ⁴He are dramatically more common than anything else, making the most common isotopes after ⁴He oxygen-16 (4 alphas), carbon-12 (3 alphas, less common than oxygen because it's less stable and easily picks up another alpha), neon-20 (5 alphas), and iron-56 (14 alphas to nickel-56 which immediately decays twice through β+ to produce ⁵⁶Fe). Iron is so high up above all the other intermediate steps, because it's the last stop: In heavy enough stars, the entire core converts to iron, and reactions past that are energy-consuming, not energy-producing, so after that the star collapses.

Lithium is not on any of the major stellar nucleosynthesis pathways, which means it's only produced by exceptional processes, making it roughly as universally abundant as the other stuff that is made by exceptional processes, like scandium or gallium or zirconium. But none of that matters, because:

Lithium is abundant and easy to extract in the earth's crust.

While there's not that much of it up there, there's plenty easy to extract down here, because it's so light and likes forming light compounds, meaning that a huge proportion of all the lithium of all the rocks that came together to form the earth is reachable to us. Lithium is not rare. Any statement about lithium batteries that bemoans the scarcity of lithium is doubly confused: Firstly, because lithium is simply not scarce. Secondly, because lithium is such a tiny portion of the battery, that despite being in the name, only a small fraction of the materials cost is lithium.

Lithium price has had a few big spikes because mining is a very high-capital industry where spinning up projects is measured in years, if not decades, and we suddenly started using a lot more lithium in ~2010. Accordingly, the price has spiked from the ~$5k per ton (which is roughly in the same ballpark typical cost of extraction, where any abundant mineral prices end up at), to the heights of $37k per ton last year. Even at this high price, lithium was not even the most expensive material component in most lithium batteries, because typically only 1-3% of the battery's weight is lithium.

But these prices won't last, because having the price of a commodity so high above the cost of extraction means that new mining projects are spinning up.

Well, I think Twitter can actually be a normal place. But the sentiment is about the average, not what it can or can't be.
iMessage just stores messages in SQLite on macOS. They have a server process that runs on macOS and reads that database. So it’s not like they reverse engineered the protocol; they just read a local database in a standard, open-source format.

"against AI safety"

You speak against AI and against AI safety? In what way? Wouldn't be speaking against AI enough? Or would AI safety mean laws to prevent AI existence? Like in the Algebraist? (though it is funny in that book how the powerful use AI when it suits them).

Sorry for not being up-to-date. I can't read anything about discontinuing Xamarin on wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xamarin

Ok, MS says this: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/platform/support/policy/x...

> Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Mac are now integrated directly into .NET (starting with .NET 6) as Android, iOS, and Mac for .NET. If you're building with these project types today, they should be upgraded to .NET SDK-style projects for continued support.

> Xamarin.Forms has evolved into .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) and existing Xamarin.Forms projects should be migrated to .NET MAUI.

So to those of you using Xamarin: how painful it is? How compatible Xamarin.Forms or not is with .NET MAUI? Are they totally different tech?

How easy/hard it is to go from Xamarin.{Android,iOS,Mac} to .NET6+ ?
Upvoted because I appreciate your taking a position and if the Twitter mob won't stop you there is no reason to have the HN mob squelch you.

That said:

I'm fairly aligned with your position in that I believe that technology should be utterly subservient to us and I draw the line at push messages and don't have a smartphone, online assistant or any other crap like that. I'll think for myself and I will allow myself to be interrupted where and when I want it, not when some piece of needy technology believes it is time for me to be distracted. My attention is my most precious commodity and I'll spread it around based on my own preferences. That is also why I've banned advertising from my life.

But I recognize that this is a personal decision first and foremost and that there are many other people for whom convenience is a far bigger factor than it is for me. At the same time those people are often wondering why I'm as productive as I am but that's not for me to explain, I lack the tools to tell them - politely - that if they dropped all of the crap in their lives, opened a book or two and learned some more skills that they too could be more productive.

I've been accused of being a modern Luddite and that's kind of funny because for forty years or so I think I was solidly positioned at the forefront of the tech scene, right at the bleeding edge and in quite a few cases working to advance that frontier. But now I'm much more aware of the shadow side of all this stuff and that's why I'm very cautious about what parts I allow in and which parts I keep out, even if that means less smooth interaction with those around me who all embrace all this stuff without a second thought.

Oh, and maybe lay off the all-caps words.
IMO the only question is one of magnitude. Based on a cursory search it appears that adblock addons are used by anywhere between 20-45% of users across all browsers. Based on this I wouldn't be wildly shocked if Chrome sheds anywhere between 5-10% of its userbase almost overnight.

I would also expect this to cause a modest-to-significant backlash against Google as a whole. This is a change that will be widely noticed among regular internet users, and rolled out at a time when Google's bread and butter (search) is at its weakest point in decades.

Moving into purely speculative territory here, but I also wonder what impact this might have on their business moving forward. Without having hard numbers to back this up, my anecdotally-backed hunch is that ad blocking is disproportionately popular among younger users. That's a risky demographic for any tech company to alienate in part or in whole.

Very interesting, and the first time I might have been nearly sold on it. Maybe next new project I'll try it out.

Razor pages with JavaScript on the front end and automatic diffing on the backend is definitely appealing. As much as I don't like the idea in general of serverside session state.

By the way, I think if you used a light-dom framework like alpine or petite-vue you would avoid most of the issues with the page not recalculating the front-end state on navigation.
I don't believe that we're gonna have Skynet on our hands (at least not within my lifetime).

What I do believe is that as the hype grows for this AI stuff, more and more people are going to be displaced and put out of work for the sake of making some rich assholes even richer. I wasn't a huge fan of "Open"AI as a company, but I sure as fuck would take them over fucking Microsoft, the literal comic-book tier evil megacorporation being at the helm of this mass displacement.

Yet, many of these legitimate concerns are just swatted away by AI sycophants with no actual answers to these issues. You get branded a Luddite (and mind you the Luddites weren't even wrong) and a sensationalist. Shit, you've already got psychopathic C-suites talking about replacing entire teams with current-day AIs, what the fuck are people supposed to do in the future when they get better? What, we're suddenly going to go full-force into a mystical UBI utopia? Overnight?

In a microfpv world (tiny drones) it used to be pretty common to overvolt li-ion batteries to fill them "beyond 100%". These days manufacturers sell you batteries rated to charge to 4.35V,but they don't last long this way.

Some mad people even charge huge 6c-2500mAh batteries like this, but it is insanity.

I've released the Gowebly v1.8.0 which includes daisyUI components library support for the frontend.
That was an issue I encountered when writing the logic for Shogi so that I could build my own engine.
Writing Python to express the logical dependencies was surprisingly unintuitive.

My original attempt was clunky and I rewrote the logic from scratch 2 or 3 times until I could bear look at the code and not wince.

Charge Li-Ion to 4.21V and that's that. The rest (over 4.25) is overcharging. If you see the voltages charged - it's clearly outside the spec. Using a voltage -> percentage table is just a gimmick that has managed to stick. The entire discussion is littered with percentages that aside being non-scientific, mean absolutely nothing at all as they are not comparable.

Most tool batteries, vacuum and mower robots - all charge below 4.2V - yet phones (and some laptops) are special.

Morealso charging it to '80%' means little as we have no clue what charge profile: constant voltage [how high]/current is used and when.

Altman is an interesting character in all of this. As far as i can tell, he has never done anything impressive, in technology or business. Got into Stanford, but dropped out, founded a startup in 2005 which threw easy money at a boring problem and after seven years, sold for a third more than it raised. Got hired into YC after it was already well-established, and then rapidly put in charge of it. I have no knowledge of what went on inside, but he wrote some mediocre blog posts while he was there. YC seems to have done well, but VC success is mostly about your brand getting you access to deal flow at a good price, right? Hyped blockchain and AI far beyond reasonable levels. Founded OpenAI, which has done amazing things, but wasn't responsible for any of the technical work. Founded that weird eyeball shitcoin.

The fact that he got tapped to run YC, and then OpenAI, does make you think he must be pretty great. But there's a conspicuous absence of any visible evidence that he is. So what's going on? Amazing work, but in private? Easy-to-manipulate frontman? Signed a contract at a crossroads on a full moon night?
No movement or religion is internally consistent in its full set of ideas. Especially religions. You'd have to have a movement that is really single mindedly focused on one thing and very fundamentalist, to be able to limit the inconsistencies, to have some consistent baseline of ideas and goals.

Whether something is propaganda or not has more to do with the methods and goals, and scale of the communication effort. Like a sustained effort to influence masses of people to do something or change their thinking via a onesided communication, a communication that does not even acknowledge that some opposing ideas exist and actively suppresses them. If it does acknowledge them, it presents them as carricature in order to reject them. It plays into pre-existing biases and weaponizes them, etc.

Yes, inconsistency may or may not indicate propaganda, depending on how big it is, and if there are attempts to hide it, or not acknowledge and discuss it if someone raises the questions.

For example, recently I added a comment under this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0163ne8AQO4 simply stating the fact that this is the old covenant from more than 30 years ago, and there are newer communications that update/contradict it, and linked to the new updated thing https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hamas-2017-document-full

It was an only comment with actual sourced argument and was deleted almost immediately. So this 50 million USD campaign to spread the "truth" is definitely propaganda. Mass marketed, manipulative, and censuring rational discussion and information that may take away from it's goal of influecing the masses to justify continuing the current war, and avoiding ceasefire/peace. (and the campaign is named "for peace", at that, lol, very Orwellian)

One, fairly obscure letter does not propaganda make. It's more like a manifesto, or whatnot. But yes, if al-qaeda had a sustained campaign specially targetted at western audience, to make it look different from what it's like to locals, to achieve some goals that would benefit the group, then sure, I'd call that propaganda.
That is just objectively untrue.

It is, plus extra segmenting with `=` escaped line breaks [1]:

> Lines of Quoted-Printable encoded data must not be longer than 76 characters. To satisfy this requirement without altering the encoded text, soft line breaks may be added as desired. A soft line break consists of an =

IIUC in Base64 you can throw whichever white space anywhere and it should be ignored. And in URL ("percent") encoding there is no insignificant white space possible (?) and encoding of white space depends on implementation (dreaded space `%20` vs ` ` vs `+` in application/x-www-form-urlencoded [2]).

I'm afraid EA is not a veil. Altruism is a deeply disturbing moral philosophy, if you actually think about it's implications and how it differs from it's originator - utilitarianism.

Similarly, AI safety is something that's religiously believed by some quarters, not all of them ignorant. According to The Atlantic's article on the drama that was posted here earlier[1], Sutskever - supposedly the brightest scientific mind in OpenAI believed in things that would not be out of place in the MIRI cult of old.

The most plausible sounding reason I’ve heard is that Open AI was originally a charity. People donated money to a cause. Most who donated got nothing in return. Those who donated a lot got board seats.

Now, the the employees of the for-profit arm of the organization are all trying to get rich while those who donated the original money get nothing. But… they still have their board seats, and they’re weaponizing them.
No, currently they don't. All the old cars not fit for europe anymore, just get send to africa.
