It's important to consider the rate of change and cost of job-switching.

In America, there are no national programs for adult education, most Americans aren't aware of impending industry shifts, and 60% of Americans still live paycheck-to-paycheck without the time/money to adapt themselves.

If AI replaces N repetitive customer service jobs with additional labor demand in engineering, product development, logistics, etc... hopefully new demand = N, but at the same time we really need to ask how practical it is for those N employees to fulfill the new demand. If they can't retrain, the result is some combination of higher wages for those with the skill, offshoring, and lower wages for those displaced into even less skilled labor.
I'm not sure there's a good way to answer this question, people seem to have very different definitions of AI. The definition I learned in school was "AI is when machines do things that most people would say requires intelligence to do", which is (maybe deliberately) vague and prone to shifting over time.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_effect - the term "AI" used to include things like chess engines (and even simpler search algorithms), but once computers are able to do those things for a while and people get used to it, the term "AI" tends to shift and only refer to things that machines can't do yet.

It's admittedly a bit of an unsatisfying answer, but whether AI is here is more a question of your definition of "intelligence" than anything else.

I don't think that's much to worry about. The total energy needs of the US could be met by putting solar panels on only a small percentage of land, far smaller than what's needed for agriculture. Furthermore in some cases the land can be dual use
You are using N in a different sense than I am. Unless I'm reading the tree description incorrectly, N is the size of the tree itself, not the number of children.

With manufacturing coming back to the US, our energy needs will likely be even greater even with accelerating adoption.
It's really easy to generate a public RSA key with desired patterns in it. The 1992-era PGP did use the last few bytes of the public key as the identifier, but later versions moved to using a truncated hash (MD5, and later SHA). At some point someone generated colliding keys for all the keys in the public keyring and uploaded them all, which kinda drove the point home.

(I assume that it's harder to generate a public ECDSA key with a specific pattern, but elliptic curve stuff didn't become common until after hashes were used for key identifiers.)

Apple did manufacture the previous generation of Mac Pros in Texas, so it can be done, perhaps at higher labor cost (aligned with your point, I believe). I had one. Kind of wish i kept it.
It's all down to politics. The German government practically killed (predominantely East-) Germany's solar industry by messing around with the Stromeinspeisungsgesetz and didn't protect the local producers against the the Chinese ones who still produce under questionable conditions...

This is not apples-to-apples, because buses don't drive on all of the roads, whereas cars drive on (presumably) any road. The total mileage of roads used for bus routes is a small fraction of all road mileage, even where bus systems are extensive. So more roads must be maintained for cars. Road damage is also affected by vehicle speed, acceleration, braking and so forth; buses drive regular routes at regulated speeds and do not brake very hard.

I haven't really seen the "stored procedures for all DB access" pattern in over 20 years. In the Oracle and Sybase days, it seemed common. In general, it feels like too much overhead during development. It's another language you need to work with, another thing you have to update / keep in sync, and it will complicate deploys.

I'd only use stored procs for specific niche uses cases. And only if it was really performance critical. If you want to avoid SQL injection, you use prepared statements (or a framework/ORM that uses them.)

You can make the less charged argument that expanding the search for life has in every case so far led to extremely interesting scientific discoveries. So as a pragmatic strategy, it has legs regardless of where you stand on the question of life origins.
Worth mentioning that Walt Disney intended EPCOT to be his version of the company town. He only reluctantly agreed to build the Magic Kingdom as a way to fund it. After he died before the latter was finished, the board decided they didn’t want to be in the town-running business. Nevertheless, the company retained the autonomy the state of Florida had granted Walt as a condition of going ahead with the project. Florida gave Disney full municipal control, retaining only the power to tax. Today, as a result of DeSantis’ campaign against Disney, the ultimate fate of the Reedy Creek Improvement District is in the courts’ hands.
Even playing bridge (card game) with random people online can be pretty grim, though playing online games organised by some national authority (eg the English Bridge Union) is a lot better.
I bet the reason it doesn't work out is greed and that everyone is doing their own incompatible system. Gas/petrol would also not work out if every car brand had their own unique & incompatible composition of fuel.

This is something that governments could solve. Commission a decent swappable battery form-factor and offer tax rebates & incentives to both buyers of compatible vehicles (thus incentivizes manufacturers to make those vehicles) as well as gas stations to adopt the system.

It doesn't have to be perfect performance-wise, if battery swaps take 5 minutes and every gas station supports it, it'll still be good even if the effective range of such battery is half of a custom proprietary one's.

No, foreign FDI shifted from China to south east asia factories. There's a reason xi Jing ping was begging to share on a 'common dream' when he visited Vietnam this month.

Sure, foreign companies are losing in Chinese auto markets. That's to be expected with Chinese government support of local EV companies, as well as nationalistic fervor. The Chinese auto market is a small one compared to US however. And it's shrinking with China's economic collapse.

Yes, using the current lifetime cost of batteries etc. to cover when solar is unavailable, is currently cheaper than nuclear.

(We could also in principle do this with a global power grid, the maths says it's fine and surprisingly affordable even if that grid needs extremely frequent total replacement, but geopolitics will almost certainly kill such an idea).

> AI is actually creating a high number of jobs for consultants and other attention grabbing based professions.

Right, but I think maybe a lot of the backlash against AI is that no one feels bad or even has much sympathy for these folks. They get to eat, and they’re eating really well. I think people are a little more worried about the Joe and Jane’s who don’t carry computer science degrees.

That statement would still hold for other countries with layer thicknesses in the 1m to 1.5m range. Which seems entirely comparable considering the area covered is multiple times greater.

Quick stats for the US:

In 2022, 11.3% of energy was generated by renewables (hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal, bioenergy, wave, and tidal). It's been growing at just under 0.5pp/year since 2007, when it was at 4.4%.

This is primarily driven by wind and solar. Wind power took off around 2000, and in the years since has grown from 5.6TWh to 434.3TWh in 2022. Solar power took off around 2011 and has since grown from 1.82TWh to 205.1TWh. Hydropower remains the #2 renewable in the US, with a noisy-but-nondirectional generation between 200TWh and 350TWh going back to the 60's, but solar appears poised to overtake it by 2024. All other renewables combined are holding steady or slightly dropping at ~75TWh (though anecdotally there may be some large geothermal capacity coming online in the medium-term future that would change this).

Narrowing the focus from all-energy-generation (e.g. including fuel) to specifically electricity, the US is currently generating 22.3% of its electricity from renewables, a number that has been steadily increasing at about 1pp/year since it was 8.4% in 2007.

Naïve extrapolation suggests we're about 75 years out from 100% renewables for electricity, but of course there are reasons to doubt that. For one, we've recently passed the tipping point where renewables are just straightforwardly cheaper than other sources of energy in many circumstances, and improvements in technology and infrastructure will just continue to make this true in more and more cases.

How about in terms of power consumed?

When I was a kid, it was cheapest to use electricity at night, because that’s when industrial demand was reduced. Now, my rates for electricity at night are significantly higher than during the day, because power output collapses from solar.

I, as a mostly happy Apple customer, would lose absolutely nothing and in fact gain quite a lot of convenience if Apple were to allow an Android iMessage client.

Sure, running servers isn't free, nor is spam moderation and servicing law enforcement data access requests, but I'm convinced that if they actually wanted to do this, they'd find an agreement that works for every stakeholder financially in no time. This really is exclusively about Apple's bottom line.

In already destroyed eco systems, “Just letting things grow” tends to lead to unhealthy monoculture of invasive species. Where I live, it’s mostly a bunch of buckthorn, autumn olive, and honeysuckle.

This reaction reminds me how introducing features to the less experienced and tech aware userbase may result in... somehow amusing entertaining show.

Years ago on fotka.pl (Polish hotornot equivalent) the company tried introducing XMPP support as chat component, doing what facebook later did. In feedback, users flooded forums with worthless threads regarding Jabber, creating this weird native to the site self-propelled meme, where they tried to convince themselves how this feature is somehow... dangerous.

The second time I saw this odd behavior happen was when the equivalent of classmates.com in Poland - naszaklasa introduced twitter-like microblogging service called "śledzik" (name comes from diminutive of herring which is śledź and śledzić, to follow sb). Users there reacted in similar way and soon they strongly opposed this feature by doing some form of protest with uploading various "anti" graphics into their photo galleries expressing how they feel about this feature no one ask for. The company behind the site kept microblog up until service ceased its operations in 2021.

I'm sure you're aware, but thought I'd drop this for our American friends. Australia and New Zealand (where I'm from) share Tall poppy syndrome[1] and going by that Wikipedia page, there are various over countries that have a similar concept.

Being overly self-congratulatory comes across as this sort of grotesque and unattractive quality. It is even true in the corporate environments I've worked at where you would normally otherwise expect it.

I've used an original Xbox One Bluetooth controller on Windows with about a dozen different Bluetooth adapters. I've never had problems. I also used a Bluetooth Xbox 360 controller before and once again didn't have issues. I also use a GuliKit Zen Pro controller without issues across close to half a dozen different Bluetooth adapters without issue. All in Windows.

I'd be interested in knowing what version of Windows you're using. Bluetooth has had a lot of updates in the past few generations of Windows.

The problem is that I don't understand what the preference is.

If your employee has a salary of $X, then the taxable expense should only be $X, it does not matter what the employee is doing.

So I don't understand what the benefit of classifying an employee's salary as being R&D was prior to this rule change.

That's the whole point of my question. As far as I can tell, every actual expense is tax deductible, which (from the complaints) implies that either there's an expense I'm not aware of that is no longer deductible (which seems bad), that the R&D classification allowed you to move when you claimed the expenses regardless of when they were actually incurred, or that R&D was used to classify non-expenses as if they were expenses. Only the first option seems reasonable to complain about, the 2nd seems of limited use (based on the complaints being made), and if it's the last option I would think everyone would support the rule change as the last option is imo fraud.

From the way people are complaining I'm assuming that it's not the last option, but I do not understand what the issue is here, because I don't understand what this mysterious "R&D" expense is, if not salaries, consumables, and equipment depreciation. Which are all taxable expenses.
The article pointed out other platforms have at least attempted to block searching for such things on their platform (and presumably don’t allow ads for such products as well). Not sure why one would need some sort of universal content adjudication solution before taking action against obviously abusive content?

This is the representation I usually see used for the tree of nodes for skinning 3D models. There each node has a transform, and the most common operation is to recompute the world transform for all nodes, formed by composing the transform for each node with the one for all of its parents. If the array is sorted so that parents always precede their children, that's just a straight loop over the arrays

for i = 0, num_nodes do
if parents[i] == -1 then
world_xforms[i] = xforms[i]
else
world_xforms[i] = world_xforms[parents[i]] * xforms[i]
