Externality of energy consumption? I'm pretty sure they are already paying for that. Or are you saying they should pay more per KWh than some other user for some reason? As for SMRs my guess is that local regulators will be the first hurdles to overcome. Cities and states will either embrace or reject the risk/reward there. I know the DOE approved one last year at the national level.
I did some back of the envelope calculations, there is 1 gram in 100 million metric tons of seawater [0] and there is an estimated 1.3x10^18 metric tons of seawater on earth [1] then the total amount of gold in ocean is about 13,500,000,000 grams of gold

This is not possible under current models (not any more so than a linear model spontaneously changing its own parameters) and will require a very specific and dedicated architecture to enable it. It’s not something we need to monitor for, it’s something that will very deliberately be planned and we can just regulate it there.
> They can't "give up their nationality"

You can, but it's a fucking pain in the ass, and when Zero COVID kicked in, the Chinese Embassies and Consulates stopped processing anything.
So now you’re saying it wasn’t serious because there was no one killed? I’m very confused here.

I thought it was serious, just less serious than those that actually killed people, because it does show system issues at Boeing related to actually doing safe changes to their planes.

Which is a scary operational problem, but at least not a major plane design problem.

Which will kill someone (or a lot of someones!) eventually.

And got called a psychopath for it, apparently? Which doesn’t seem very polite.
I assume this would be only in the default Fedora workstation w/ GNOME DE, right? That would certainly break the Cinnamon spin that I use on my Fedora installs, since it's still using X.org.

Why should the EU fine 10% of Apple's global revenue when they're violating an EU-specific law? Shouldn't they just fine 10% of EU revenue?

> I'm sure it won't take too many 10% of global revenue-fines before they get in line.

I'm sure it won't take too many of those before Apple just decides to leave the EU wholesale, as it only accounts for around 10% of their own annual revenue.

Your response sounds like “you can’t derisk deploys, you can only derisk deploys”
> It has access to the same amount of knowledge that any individual human (with internet) has.

Do you have a nuanced definition of "access"?

GPT is generating most responses from its own model weights, it only reaches out to the internet in certain situations (and it tells you when it is doing so).

> Further, it's not possible for an AI to complete the full test as one component is recall

GPT has recall during one conversation and they recently added features to recall details from previous conversations (again, unless you mean something different by "recall")

> It bears remembering that ChatGPT was trained on data produced by humans, volumes of text, novels, scientific articles, blogs and reddit posts. To ascribe it intelligence for its ability to algorithmically reassemble it's training data is to do a disservice to all the authors of that original work.

I don't think GPT is conscious or anything, but I'm curious what you think the distinction is between a human child learning from its environment and a computer model learning from training data. GPT has created many truly novel outputs based on what it learned from the training data.

Mechanistically, how is a brain learning from data different from a computer model learning from data?

"JavaScript: The Good Parts" was a great and a very important book back in the day. I am sure it inspired many of the improvements JavaScript has seen since then. But as it has seen these improvements, and as they were many indeed, I am not sure the book is still as relevant as it once was. Or to put it differently: There are many more good parts to JS these days compared to when the book was released :)
"As William R. Catton Jr. pointed out trenchantly many years ago in his book Overshoot, this is the situation the human population of Earth is in just now. The invention of fossil fuel-powered technologies and the breakneck extraction of fossil fuels that followed provided the industrial world with a resource base equivalent to ten spare planets. That was why population figures started rising in the nineteenth century and went into overdrive in the twentieth: all those additional resources temporarily boosted the carrying capacity of the planet to levels never before reached, and allowed our species to experience an immense population boom."

How to make a "krul" (unofficial Dutch symbol for OK) (2016)
I’m not even sure why we would need to ‘make’ them pay for this. As it says in the article:

> A major factor behind the skyrocketing demand is the rapid innovation in artificial intelligence, which is driving the construction of large warehouses of computing infrastructure that require exponentially more power than traditional data centers. ... Tech firms like Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta and Microsoft are scouring the nation for sites for new data centers..

Sounds like these companies have capital investment available, and their demand is inducing increased supply of data centers.. which should also induce demand for electricity supply too.

If they really want to grow fast they are welcome to invest in generating capacity and grid infrastructure too.

I agree that being a local you’re not a target.

Regarding the crimes against some foreigners:
- It shouldn’t happen. That’s why we elected a new major with a very different philosophy from the previous one.
- 1,8M foreigners came here in 2023 and 35 got killed. Again, the number should be 0, but once you see it as a statistic it feels improbable.
- If you don’t do ilegal stupid stuff you shouldn’t be doing in the first place (you know what I’m talking about) you’ll be fine.
Because users are using those drivers...? Sure you can say 'fuck the users, they should just buy a different GPU', but thats exactly my point. Bad time to do that as its picking up steam
When I had AT&T fiber, they had an ONT and a Modem, the ONT was installed outside the house, styled like the NIDs for POTS. There was no fee for the ONT, but there was a rental for the "modem". Afaik, all the modem did was run 802.1x auth and do crappy NAT.

I understand that ATT has moved towards combining the ONT and Modem into a single piece of equipment.

Ideally this is where everyone ought to be anyways. In a vacuum, all of these would stop bad deployments in theory. But in practice, no amount of prep can address and prevent every potential way a deployment can go sideways.

Plus if you're B2B, your clients are likely mentally checked-out on Friday anyways so they won't even see the new stuff.
That is a satirical twitter account.
My take away of a long post.

<< It’s a general feature of machine learning—and AI—techniques that they can be very useful if an approximate (“80%”) answer is good enough. But they tend to fail when one needs something more “precise” and “perfect”.
I'm pretty sure this is a shitposter account
I was unclear, or perhaps I misunderstood the comment I was replying to. I read it as "deploying on Fridays isn't a problem if you derisk the deploys".

My response was that you can't derisk deploys to the extent that Friday deployments are good practice.
I wrote the “ai” for one of the early popular forks of Slime Volleyball. I have a lot of fond memories! Recently I wrote a modern interpretation of the game in pure TypeScript/html canvas.

Yes, actually you can. As an artist on Spotify you can add a PayPal donation link directly in your artist profile, and you can integrate Shopify merch directly as well.

Even linking specific products with specific releases. I only wish they supported more vendors than Shopify. But they state the feature is currently in beta.
Looks as if there will still be a paperback version released in the future as well for anyone that prefers that format.

I don't work in JS at all professionally but this book has intrigued me for a while at this point after seeing it recommended so often. I think I'll pick up a copy once the paperback is released.
To my knowledge no browser supports transferring an extension's user base from one extension to another. If you want your users to switch, the only think you can do is show them a link of where to get the new extension they should install.
The step we need to take is find one such vendor which delivers non compliant popups, find the customers of those popups, take the 10 biggest ones and give them a nice big fine that's big enough to scare every other business into compliance.
Accurately determining risk relies on decent starting data, otherwise you run the risk of Garbage-in, Garbage-out. Whilst things like VEX and EPSS can help, they are based on the starting point that is CVE assignment and CVSS score.

I don't particularly think that CVE+CVSS has been the "right" way to do things ever (definitely not in the last 10 years) but my thoughts don't really matter whilst regulators and governments apply special significance to them, which they do.

Security bugs are special if a regulator can deem you in non-compliance if you have too many of them.

This is of course leaving the whole area of attackers who actively try to exploit them to one side :).
Disappearing Cities on US Coasts
This reads like super low effort blogspam. Seeing this advice from a deploy vendor makes me think, “these people must not be serious about their product”.

If your deploys break a lot, fix your testing and deploy process! Then you’ll have much lower stress every day of the week, instead of low stress on Friday and high stress every other weekday.

At least figure out how to make rollback super quick and easy. Then at least if something goes wrong at 11am when you’re rolling out the Friday deploy, you can roll back and be stress free again by 1pm.
This point seems to be overlooked very often.

I used to work at a Chinese tech company. I hear that it's pretty common to use aliases, instead of your real name, due to anti-compete clauses when you switch between companies.

What if iris scanning becomes the new "log in with your device", and what if the way worldcoin stores your iris scan is actually not encrypted?

I don't know why you're comparing a high definition full iris scan to random photo of you, they aren't the same things. The point is security is made of things you know and things you have, and eyes are hard to pass around, so someone being able to "have" your eyes to fool a scanner is useful for many classes of attacks, we don't need to know the full attack chains yet to know it's inherently a risk because it turns a thing you have into a thing you and Worldcoin and whoever worldcoin sells or gets hacked by - all have.
Disappointing to see the various crow garbage vending machines not pan out. I wonder of it's actually impossible or if it's just been poorly executed.

There's thousands upon thousands of discussions on here about Russia, Ukraine, China, North Korea, Iran, USA/NSA, etc. Why is discussions about Israel suddenly "totally off-topic and inappropriate?"
It's a great explanation, but I've never heard the term 'binding' used to describe variables. It's usually reserved to function binding or bridge APIs like the DOM.

The tricky thing is that "boxes" are the right abstraction for primitive values. After that you need to explain how references work, and that's pretty much the same 'tentacle' concept. This method spares the reader one step, but might cause confusion once they face problems that require that understanding.

This seems to offer an interesting (partial) candidate for the Great Filter. What if there are tons of advanced civilizations on tidally locked planets orbiting red dwarfs, who have never reached for the stars, because they simply can’t see them?

Or rather, they can see them only once they’ve developed the technology to explore a side of the planet which they’re extremely poorly adapted for. Imagine if we had only been able to even begin to study astronomy through polar expeditions, for example.

If the product is being shut down, it is definitely not a big acquisition.

The only way to be sure it's worth something is if a secondary market exists for the shares. This is only going to be true for later stage companies, not early stage ones though.

I think the best advice on the topic of early stage options is this blog post: https://www.benkuhn.net/optopt/

The TL;DR for me is: Be more picky about the company than the specific comp package. When you're there, find as much as you can about the revenue growth and retention metrics (assuming B2B), and quit after your cliff if it doesn't look like it is going well enough to justify the valuation.
Seeing people defend the cassettes is weird. Here's how I look at it:

1. The company say's being eco friendly is important to them.

2. They manufacture, sell, and ship expensive plastic containers for their detergent.

3. The machines don't necessarily need this specific detergent, and will work fine by leaving in one of the "cassettes" and just using normal dish detergent.

This means that the cassettes were never necessary, and are purely a separate stream of income for the company. Literally the printer ink method.

Which means they didn't have to produce this plastic waste at all, they could have just allowed it to use a smaller amount of liquid or powder detergent (pre-portioned pods are probably too much detergent).

Hell even if they wanted to continue with the printer ink approach, they could have used powder detergent in little wax-lined cardboard containers.

Regardless of how well they're recycling or re-using the cassettes returned to them, the cassettes never needed to exist. It's more plastic taking up more space in more polluting delivery trucks.

At the end of the day this company is selling a dishwasher and a detergent subscription service. It's not the worst thing out there and it's not creating nearly as much plastic waste as the fishing industry but it's still a company greenwashing itself to sell you more garbage.
Having been engaged in the online TTRPG/D&D discourse for many years - the general zeitgeist didn't start out as being snarky about D&D, even when they were proponents of alternative systems.

But the explosive success of 5E has brought that out, and it's not entirely the fault of the people being snarky about D&D. Some of it is 'eternal september' quasi-nostalgia, some of it is people pushing about against something being popular, but a lot of it is that D&D discussion has invaded all sorts of other places that were either specifically about alternative systems, or were intended to be balanced in what was being discussed. The relative newness for a lot people in the overall hobby, along with Wizards very much pushing it as a lifestyle/identity choice has also resulted in a lot of people discussing D&D on the internet being some mixture of hostile/dismissive/etc. of any discourse that isn't about 5E.

I've lost count of the number of conversations I've witnessed where people are talking about something they dislike in D&D or asking how to homebrew a system on top of it to do a certain thing, and someone will politely say "Hey this is pretty core to how 5E functions and is part of the primary gameplay loop, you might want to look into X system because it handles Y thing in Z way, which seems to align with your needs here," and they get a rather rude dismissal. With the release of the One D&D rules, I saw lots of conversations where criticism of them, even from 5E players, were taken as some sort of personal attack on a core values of people who were fans.

There are plenty of assholes in the OSR, storygaming, etc. scenes. Toxicity sure isn't limited to the 5E players. But the sheer number of them, coupled with the previously mentioned Wizards marketing strategy, has resulted in a lot of the rest of the TTRPG community stuck with their hackles raised and feeling like they always have to be on the defensive. And that leads to the snark.
You don't do a single proof of the entire 10k line program, you do proofs of the many small functions that make it up. If you can use each proof as an axiom going into proving the functions that use it, then each of them becomes easier to prove too. If I have a function that might sometimes mutate a variable off in another part of the program, that's just inherently harder to reason about that one that is idempotent and guaranteed to have no side effects.

I like to call it carbon chauvinism. There are people who believe that no matter how high the simulation fidelity, no matter the level you simulate the neurons, you can't simulate consciousness. I think they can be safely ignored until after we've tried.
Very fun article. I don't feel that I was "wrong" going in, as I had no real concept of most of this. I was definitely ignorant of a lot of scenarios, though.

In particular, I knew the moon was tidally locked to the earth; but that was about as far as my thinking on that went. I'd somewhat assume that the moon is "swelled" towards the earth, but maybe not because then the sun would break the lock? The article covers that the general variables involved with moon orbits largely precludes this, I think.

Would be a lot of fun to have a VR experience that lets you see some of this from the different perspectives.
>The field of programming is young and still developing rapidly, and it is varied enough to have room for wildly different approaches.

This was an interesting line of thought to digest. He's right, of course. Programming is probably still in it's infancy.

Studying and learning about programming however, can make you believe it's some ancient art mastered by the giants of our recent past, the perfection of which is never to be surpassed again.

Is it possible to collect actual observations to confirm or deny the results of this modeling? A key part of any well formed scientific hypothesis is that it can be validated or disproved by real world experimentation or observation (falsifiable). Where will that data come from in this case? Computer models are an important part of science, but if they can't be validated against data, what's the point?
