I work with a few climate scientists so my opinions aren’t my own. I referenced 2 researchers above, what is wrong with their opinions?

[4] isn’t climate denial, it was an attempt to get some criticism of an interesting heterodox theory, and I found it!
[5] CCS is being used at large scale on many projects. Maybe we have different definitions of “at scale” and “successful”

I don’t need to prove it can be done: we already produce these with emissions and we already have CCS to avoid these emissions, there is nothing technological stopping this except economics.

The consensus is that climate change is real and I agree wholeheartedly. What I disagree with is exaggerations of the negative outcomes and rejections of technological solutions based on politics rather than science. In this aspect you will find many conflicting opinions.

Also please answer my question about 2C. Asking this is what led me to realising how much of climate policy is based on convenient politics and not science.
There have been many articles written about this, you should read them. But in some of the more egregious cases, I would ask you this: how do you sue a government for plundered art when the government has passed laws that prevent you from suing the government?
Rate of return = (current value of the account - value of all of your contributions) / current value of your account. That is to say, the total growth of your contributions.
And yet, this is a kind of figure that possibly could be proven, if you either assign a lot of people to read / analyze the papers and mark them "cargo cult" and "not cargo cult", or automate it with modern day text analysis tooling. Getting all the papers in one place will be a logistic challenge though.
What do you mean “but still…”? It’s a pretty important distinction. Meta does indeed use their massive GPU farms to train models and then release the weights for free and people indeed run inference on prosumer hardware

It would still be a crime. I would and should be chastised, but the person who robbed me should still receive a proper punishment.
Supreme court chief justice Oliver Wendell Holmes identified Boston as “The Hub of the Solar System", which is still somehow how people in the area think of themselves in my opinion. I live in the area. So it would be this:

I have always felt Ebay dropped the ball on this with untold amounts of custom, varying quality photos with tons of metadata added by users. Presumably they are working on using this, but I haven't seen anything from them for it.
A country like Norway, with one of the highest GDPs per capita in the world (significantly higher than even America's), is exactly the country that should be thinking about the environment before they think about economic development.
A surprisingly large number of these high end ovens are sold into houses where they are literally never used. I'm talking touring a ten year old house and I open the oven and the original manual is still taped to the grill.

At least in this case it might be shown off as a party trick.
My understanding is that AWD systems generally allocate power to a wheel under certain conditions where it's detected that traction is lost. 4WD sends power to all wheels all the time, except perhaps when traction is lost to one wheel and there is no locking differential. I imagine 4WD feels more powerful at getting unstuck because all the power is there right away and you're not depending on a system / sensor to recognize the need for more traction before it's delivered.
I doubt they're paying retail prices like the tweet implies. Still can't be a small number if that is true.
I'm not anti-Russia. I think Russia is a great country and a great culture. However, I'm definitely anti-Putin and wish for this war to end ASAP, regardless of final terms for either party. I don't think that Ukranian oligarchs are any better than their Russian counterparts, and certainly not worth fighting/dying for.
According to the linked heise.de article the defendant assumed the credentials were for a database that only contained his client's data, and immediately disconnected as soon as he realized he was actually seeing data for all of the complainant's clients.
They could open the cases, but this decision hinged on the permitting process not following the law that it needed to consider emissions, which the Rights of the Chile was a component of.

It is not a given the reasoning used in this decision could be used for oil and gas projects that followed a proper permit process at the time they were granted. There is more reason to believe this case would NOT apply in that situation.
The above is an example of "transfer pricing" or "profit shifting". What's the difference? Transfer pricing is illegal. Profit shifting isn't (within limits; it technically has to be "at arm's length" and other requirements)

You have it backwards: transfer pricing is legal, profit shifting is not.

Transfer pricing is the legal term used to refer to the establishment of prices between related entities pursuant to regulations. The transfer pricing regulations were created to cut down on profit shifting.
But turning on the app "uses" those credentials. so were all of their consumers guilty of hacking too?

What's the difference. MAYBE I could see this as a violation of the ToS but It's a far cry from "hacking".

Having a password doesn't mean they were trying to keep people out. They shipped the password.

That's like going into a building and they HAND YOU a keycard, and say don't go anywhere you aren't supposed to. And then it's actually a master key. How do you even know that it's going to let you into places you aren't supposed to go.

I have creds to googles services but it only gives me access to MY stuff.
Well, by that argument it's trivially easy to run emacs on a binary and change a pathname --- or wrap a program with another program to "fix a bug". Easy, no?

And yet, the people who insist on having source code so they can edit the program and recompile it have said that for programs, having just the binary isn't good enough.
> If you left your front door wide and were robbed the public would have 0 sympathy for you

Not sure where you live for that to be the case, but someone coming in because I left my door open is not normal, even if I left my door open. Even if they claim they were "making sure everything was safe".
I'm surprised no one has brought up the power cost point yet. I have a couple services I'd like to be up 24/7 and paying for hosting on them is actually cheaper than I'd be able to do from home just due to the cost of electricity where I live. Plus I've had quite a few ISP outages, but my provider, as far as I can tell, has been up 24/7/365 in the few years I've been paying them.
I think the point is that the tax is a double-standard. Apple can inherently exploit more competitive tactics by offering a first-party option that is financially infeasible to resist.

Spotify isn't squeaky-clean either, but their argument is sound. Not only can Apple grant themselves private API entitlements (a literal competitive advantage), but competitors cannot offer a cheaper alternative even if they wanted. It's a situation where ad-ridden platforms like YouTube and TikTok are rewarded and legitimate licensed competitors can barely justify a native iOS app.
I wonder if it's possible to take the Wikipedia model (open source, non profit entity) and use that to build a social network.
Explain the latter part?
This explanation does a great job of blending pop culture analysis with ancient history. I particularly like the use of primary sources. The author seems to be a biologist and paleontologist[1]; anyone know if he's written anything else on history?

It depends. As an intern, working an extra hour to get free dinner and a bus ride home was absolutely worth it. But it's not as if they were forcing people to stay (for either the work or the food). My experience was that people with families generally didn't stay, which absolutely makes sense given their different priorities and life situation.
I think it's ok to take life if it's your own life or help someone to take their own if there are good reasons for it.

I don't know how a peaceful society should act if neigbour tries to kill them. I think if that's the case, they made a lot of mistakes already, if they reached that point.

Probably the only thing to do is gather your killers and send them to kill and tell everybody it's ok this time. And most likely just die regardless of what you decided to do. If this society somehow survives it's way ahead because they not only repelled foreign killers but culled their own. That's pretty much was the result of WW2. Europe was destined for prosperity after it no matter who won. Just because higher fraction of killers than normal people died.
>I tried to join Google in that era, unsuccessfully. (I got surprised by a weird whiteboard interview, with an interviewer who seemed to implicitly assume they were better than me, and came off as dismissive.)

>In hindsight, I wonder whether I would've 100% liked a company driven by software engineers (other than the apparent aspect of recent grads with senior-sized egos).

The same thing happened to me and left feeling the same in the early 2010s.

(Great experience however and any interview after that was a walk in the park)
Why is AI needed for this at all?

You should take a look at Schemathesis (https://github.com/schemathesis/schemathesis)
Of course it doesn't. We don't build nuclear generators with pre-approved unusable exclusions zones. This is a ridiculous suggestion.

Should we consider the potential blast radius of the catastrophic failure of wind turbines as well?

You literally cannot build structures in the path of a wind turbine if you want it to function.
Why open source it?
Just another virtue signal while their real motivation is something more sinister?
They are a for-profit publicly owned company.
Are investors happy about spending billions to open-source it?
Bootstrapping social tech ain’t easy. Expectations that this tech is free, plus the immediate need for support and safety for general populations mean that it’s very different than say, B2B SaaS.
I tried the demo with Cal Ripken Jr. I was surprised by some of the complex questions:

>Which MLB player won the Sporting News MLB Rookie of the Year Award as a pitcher in 1980, and who did Cal Ripken Jr. surpass to hold the record for most home runs hit as a shortstop?

>What team did Britt Burns play for in the minor leagues before making his MLB debut, and in what year did Cal Ripken Jr. break the consecutive games played record?

>Who was the minor league pitching coordinator for the Houston Astros until 2010, and what significant baseball record did Cal Ripken Jr. break in 1995?

All five questions are a combination of a question about a Britt Burns fact and an unrelated Cal Ripken fact.

Why is this? Britt Burns doesn't seem to appear on the live Wikipedia page for Ripken. Does he appear on a cached version? Or is it forming complex questions by finding another page in the same category as Ripken and pulling more facts?
Decentralized systems still need ongoing development and maintenance.
I always thought it would be cool if every NPR/PBS station also ran Fediverse nodes of mastodon or whatever the Fediverse version of Facebook is. Would provide a public-funded option with more transparency

JPM's Jamie Dimon believes Satoshi Nakamoto will either increase or "erase" Btc
Apologies if this is a repost, didn't see one after search

Edit: I haven't read much into the btc white paper or code but, as a layman I believe Dimon's comments may be a fundamental misunderstanding of how btc's blockchain and "decentralized" nature works
I mean, I guess you could call Claudine Gay a cargo culter because she used a particular method without fully understanding its assumptions, but if you set the bar that high then almost nothing is going to pass. If you've ever been in academia, you know Jose Ortega y Gasset was right when he wrote: "it is necessary to insist upon this extraordinary but undeniable fact: experimental science has progressed thanks in great part to the work of men astoundingly mediocre, and even less than mediocre. That is to say, modern science, the root and symbol of our actual civilization, finds a place for the intellectually commonplace man and allows him to work therein with success." Most of us, most of the time, work with "recipes" that we think will produce good science, and often that works, except when it doesn't.

As for Neri Oxman, the kind of word salad she spit out is definitely reminiscent of cargo cult behavior, but the motivation is different: if you're in a cult, you're a believer, whereas it's not clear to me that Oxman believes her own nonsense, and in any event she seems to tend to borrow stuff from other fields and does not presume to contribute to those fields. Consequently, her research doesn't really qualify as the kind of mimicking without understanding that Feynmen was talking about.

So I guess I must ask: is Sven Schnieders (the author) cargo culting about cargo cult science?
In the 1980s, I was briefly involved with AMIX, the American Information Exchange.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Information_Exchange

As an experiment, I wrote a short article and offered it for ten cents.

And one person paid me that dime! Exciting times.

(The Wikipedia article says that $1 was the minimum price, but this must have been before that was set.)

Microsoft was paying me a dollar a word for my MSJ (Microsoft Systems Journal) articles, so that worked out better.
People leaving the Bay Area for Austin and Georgia is hardly a race to the bottom.

The Bay Area has insane housing costs because of toxic zoning regulations.

Austin is a firmly blue city with extensive public services.

The parts Georgia Bay Area folks are moving to are similar politically and socially.

A better description is “people who value a well run city leave their poorly run city and move to a well run city.”

Corporations doing business in the country with the least environmental regulation is a race to the bottom.

Big corporations opening campuses in lightly populated suburbs is a race to the bottom.

Ships flying flages of convenience in third world countries is a race to the bottom.

People leaving a poorly run place to a well run place is not a race to the bottom.

When a person moves from the Dominican Republic to New York, that’s not a race to the bottom.
Modern fishing frequently does on-ship flash freezing and the results are often better than fresh fish. At least one reason is that the freezing kills parasites. But also the fish will stay viable longer.

The important detail is the method of freezing. Just tossing a fish into a regular freezer doesn't work. Flash freezing doesn't create large ice crystals which mess up the tissue.
I've been stopped when there was no probable cause, and contested. I was visiting the Golden gate Park a decade back and asked a ranger for some directions. They stopped me and my friend because "they smelled weed". We still got searched. We did not smoke and there was no way we could have smelled. We did have a still sealed container from a local dispensary that was not know in it's container, but a ziplock bag. The bar for probable cause is so low that it can be normal things (any given location in SF has high likelihood of smelling like weed). And remember, this is because I walked up to a fucking park ranger and said "hey do you have a map?" Even the second ranger protested and asked to be off record. Couldn't contest without going back to SF and that's technically federal property.

I'm just saying, I wouldn't rely on this being a sufficient safety mechanism. Abuse is rampant and difficult to prove.
Historically any time an attack surface as big as WebGPU has been exposed, "the worst you can do is crash the tab" has not ever been true.

Also note that for an unstable graphics driver, the way you usually crash the system is by touching memory you shouldn't (through the rendering API), which is definitely something that could be exploited by an attacker. It could also corrupt pages that later get flushed to disk and destroy data instead of just annoy you.

Though I am skeptical as to whether it would happen, security researchers have previously come up with some truly incredible browser exploit chains in the past, so I'm not writing it off.
AI will power the metaverse, it was the missing piece.
Crypto is exactly as real as cash. Both crypto and cash have value because people think they have value.

That's it.

And please don't reply "you need to pay taxes with it", if an economically failed state uses a currency that no one wants, it doesn't have value even if the state requires it for taxes.

And this is true for everything. Things have value because people value them. Even food. A steak has no value if no one wants to eat it.
Because given the choice it seems many people prefer free with ads to paid?

I'm just thankful that mobile phone networks haven't switched to a "free with ads interspersed into your texts" model yet.

(Of course there are still ads in my texts, but at least those are officially spam rather than network endorsed.)
It's annoying how, in the world where a few boys could code Second Reality in 1993 in barely a megabyte or two, on computers that were a tiny fraction of what we're using today, we (collectively) have somehow obfuscated the matter of simple remote sensing and switching across a network into this ongoing kerfuffle of competing interests and complex, shaky solutions.
What Makes the International MXT Diesel Truck So Cool
Not only the commute, but also lunch breaks. In US and Canada, lunch breaks are short, but back in Brazil I had a 1:30h lunch break, and then at another job, 1:12. But I'm at the office, can't go to bed, I'm at the company's computer so can't do anything I want, also it's in the office, so if watching some TV show or anime that has more graphic content, that might also be a no.

So basically, waste of time.
This is like giving someone a book you wrote to proofread, with your password unintentionally in the text. They use it to login and then tell you about it. Sure, they shouldn't have logged in, but it doesn't feel like it deserves criminal charges.
Especially the hardware requirements.
looking at the article, you're really splitting hairs - wind and nuclear are 0.3 and 0.4km2, many of the others are 20+

if you were to ask someone based on that if wind was one of the techs that use least land, it's an obvious yes.

I think you're being more disingenuous than the article..
I should have built a video card company based on VAX designs.
The "network" argument is true for collectibles as well. There is a human network of people interested in collectibles. Putting it on a computer is not a material difference.
Scroll down. This is the first of ten examples.
I love facebook. I hate other big tech companies. Facebook has done far more for software than any other company in the last 15 years. They:

1. Pushed salaries up across the board. Many people are not aware, but facebook was a major driver behind the 500k+ senior engineering pay.

2. Released major open source software: PyTorch, React, GraphQL, React Native. They basically invented modern web development.

Facebook is basically the only game in town when it comes to open source. Whatsmore, Mark Zuckerberg should be more widely applauded. I know his open source ai strategy has capitalist roots, but its still great for the world.
I did read carefully and responded to that point. I'll also point to other comments in this thread which demonstrate an over confidence in being reliant on this as a system that cannot easily be abused.
This has been our strategy. We bootstrapped as long as we could. We got 1 & 1/2 products live. But with a long sales cycle, and security certificate requirements, we needed funding to cross that chasm. We’ve raised one round and our goal is to get to break even. Our competitor have gone the other route, VC after VC, and while it’s enabled them to grow, it’s left a bad taste in their customers mouths (who’ve effectively been burned and churned). It’s made it easy to differentiate ourselves, and our motivations, and ultimately win their business.

Had similar idea, e.g. identifying typical sections of a rejection letter and creating random letter from the hundreds of them I have received. Gave up the idea. Nobody cares about your bitterness. It's impersonate, someone found your CV repulsive and simply clicked send button.
You should check out MoE-Mamba (https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.04081), it's faster and more accurate than Transformer-MoE. Of course only time will tell if it's better when scaled up further than the paper goes.
By asking to be sincere. Yeah thanks
This is a high profile case because they went public with it, but I assure you, stuff like this happens a lot more frequently than you might think (the public can attend court proceedings in that country, but they are neither published nor publicized for the vast, vast majority of cases). It's why anyone remotely familiar with the legal situation (not just in germany, many countries have similarly broad laws, like CFAA or the Computer Misuse Act) will tell you to never ever, ever do vulnerability disclosure yourself to the responsible party.
Sometimes you’re still the product if you pay for the product.

> Also please answer my question about 2C. Asking this is what led me to realising how much of climate policy is based on convenient politics and not science.

https://www.reuters.com/business/cop/whats-difference-betwee... ("Explainer: What's the difference between 1.5°C and 2°C of global warming?")

https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2021/08/1-5-or-2-degrees-... ("1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius of additional global warming: Does it make a difference?")

You keep saying climate policy is based on politics, but you are not providing any evidence of that. Please provide evidence of your assertion this is political. You argue that "there is nothing technological stopping this except economics"; that means it isn't feasible unless proven the economics will improve. A proof of concept does not guarantee scale.

WebGL has been around for more than a decade and didn't turn out to be a security issue, other than occasionally crashing tabs. Neither will WebGPU be.
Seems like those laws to need to be re-written. Intent matters and it doesn't seem like this "hacker" was trying to do any harm.

Company got caught with their pants down and want to punish this person for exposing that.

When I was younger I was naive to think these business leaders were some types of geniuses. Turns out every one of them is just jumping from one hype to the next, hoping something sticks. If it doesn't, write it off. If it hits, they're a genius.
yeap - 60 for collocation only. 99.9% uptime SLA (power/network). I've had 5-minute blips 3 times in last 12 months. The hardware itself is bought used $400 for the whole server (not including HDD). HDD was around $400 too. so last 2 years: (24 * 60 + 800)/24 = ~$94/month and going down every month
