>But alot of the new non-fossil energy production is now added to the existing energy mix, not replacing fossil fuels.

This is a really good point that worries me quite a bit as well. Energy is essentially fungible so any energy used by wasteful and pointless endeavors such as cryptocurrency mining or model training is energy that's not going toward reducing our use of fossil fuels. Worse it's energy that still has externalities associated with production and storage such as mining for solar/batteries destroying natural areas and hydroelectric impacting river ecosystems.

Fossil fuels should be phased out ASAP and the way to do that is to stop increasing energy usage and to ensure renewable energy is used only for activities that are actually necessary such as food production and heating/cooling.

As someone working in the "cloud computing" industry I see companies spending huge amounts of energy to index non-production logs they'll never look at. I see developers wasting huge amounts of energy to create useless models for generating content nobody will ever look at. I see companies leaving huge infrastructures running 24/7 just in case someone might want to get an Ad served at 3am. And I see the enormous grey data center housing all that junk that now sits nearby where there used to be a pristine forest full of wildlife.

>Close by where I live (45 min drive), Google is building a huge server park that will require approximately 5% of Norways total electricity production.

It's amazing how much these things consume and at the end of the day they aren't doing anything of value. Communities really need to come together to prevent new data centers and remove existing ones.

> median household income is increasing the fastest it has in 80 years even adjusting for inflation

I am not sure about that, inflation was quite high during 2022-2023 and prices didn't go down. It is true that inflation is down right now - as this is an election year; however you still have to pay for current prices with what you get as your current salary.

I don't know. Corruption gets easier with increased centralization. I think a far better approach is to innovate our way out of it. If carbon free energy sources are less expensive then the problem will solve itself essentially. A global carbon tax will enviably extract some portion of global GDP from corruption. That money would likely be better spent in other ways.

Basically, carbon tax is the accountant's solution, innovation is the engineer's.

It may just be a failure of the imagination, but on the face of it the only chemistry that could feasibly make organisms is organic chemistry. That's not because it's Earth's chemistry, but because carbon is a very useful lego brick. This leaves us looking for alternatives beyond chemistry, something like Douglas Adams's "sentient shade of blue", except imaginable and not nonsense. So your certainty about this is ... staunch, let's say.

It has to be if you can "seek and selectively extract from" a zip file: the ability to do that relies on the ability to read the end of the archive for the central directory, then read the offset and size you get from that to get at the file you need.

squashfs may or may not be able to do it with as few roundtrips (I don't know the details of its layout), but S3 necessarily provides the capabilities for random access otherwise you'd have to download the entire content either way and the original query would be moot.

It just occurred to me, do you have wide denormalized table queries where tables represent entities more than relations?

I think if so that might explain the difference in query structure.
It failed miserably because of poor UX, not business model. Social media conglomerates capitalize on integrated UX and use the power of it to fuel their business models. They do not really lock in their customers the way SaaS vendors do: before I left social media, I had at least 3 or 4 replicas of my social graph, overlapping by at least 80%. Users can move between platforms if there’s any value in it.
I generally agree with you - I spent years flying across the world with a carry-on only and I still miss that lifestyle.

But Japan is the kind of place that people want to bring a whole lot of stuff back - I know a lot of people who basically fly out with empty suitcases and just fill them to the brim with random tchotchkes over here — and hey, whatever makes them happy.
Something to consider is that many of the advantages that the article says women have might not be as relevant in the context of "one-off" events (even something smeared over a few days).

One advantage listed pointed was the higher fat stores, and a higher preference to burn fat rather than burn muscle. But modern food and fueling strategies (and this is of course race/event dependent) can also erode that advantage. If you can continuously dump glucose into your system at the right rate, you'll limit your body's need to tap into muscle or fat stores at all. In this race, you can carry whatever you want in your pack during a lap, and every lap you have the opportunity to refuel and pick up more food.

The timescale that this race occurs over probably isn't enough for the recovery advantage to really show, but uh... I've never run an ultra (or a normal marathon...), so I really can't judge.

Finally, the very nature of races (and having a time cut-off) is just soooo different from if endurance hunting for your life style. In a race, burning up all your matches to just barely cross the finish line in time (or at all) is a winning strategy. In real life, burning all your matches to catch an animal on a hunt is -generally- not a winning strategy (if it means that you'll be in recovery and shit at hunting for the next 2 days). If hunting-gathering is your life, your strategies should be built around consistency and risk management. Many of the advantages listed in the article seem like powerful tools for risk management. As your sport (or your metric) better approximates the risk management scenario of "life as a hunter-gatherer" I think you'd expect the female advantage to show more prominently, and maybe eventually dominate.

Mitigating a token-length side-channel attack in our AI products
The phrase "Secure beneath the watchful eyes" really reminds of the Techno-utopian poem "All watched over by machines of loving grace", it has the same bold wrong-headed naive optimism in a higher power able to keep us safe, like a security blanket.
That's precisely doom slinging. "Banks are clearly under stress" is just ridiculous on it's face. And "historical norm" was literally and clearly refused upthread. What are you citing?
One-time pads need you to have a limited amount of data to encode and a good channel through which to send your one-time pad. However, assuming AES isn't broken by quantum computers (there is no evidence that it is), you could use a relatively small one-time pad to generate keys to encrypt a much bigger bulk of data.

Not the craziest idea in the world, but you still need a very secure physical key distribution medium, which is hard.
> Yep. They are the ones that chose to end software support for the device a mere 2 years after it was released. Or did someone else make that decision?

You’re totally correct - and there seemed be be few changes in iOS 6 that necessitated that move. That said, getting it above iOS 11 was never going to happen given the architecture change.

>That decision about accepting the limitations and trade-offs should be in the hands of end users, not the device's manufacturer. I can install a relatively recent Linux distribution on my 20 year old PC and decide for myself whether I can live with the performance.

iPad users are not even remotely in the same group as Linux users.

As a Linux user using old hardware you are making an educated decision to do so, knowing all the pitfalls.

Your average iPad user just wants the thing to run at speeds comparable to current devices and with minimal loss of functionality.

An iPad is not a full blown computer like a modern day laptop is.

I used to be an Android girl. I owned an original Xoom and later on, a Nexus 7.

They were both unusable within a few years because the needs of the OS was greater than the devices could handle: and that’s even after I rooted them both and upgraded to the latest Cyanogen versions at the time.

Thanks for linking. I agree and strongly believe product companies are in the best position to monetize Gen AI. Existing distribution channels + companies being extremely fast to add AI features.

Where start-ups like Stability need to be rising to compete will have to be AI-native e.g. products re-thought of from the ground up like an AI image editor or as foundation-level AI research companies, agents or AI infrastructure companies.

There's no reason Stability can't play in both B2B and API if planned and strategized well and OpenAI can definitely pull it off with their tech and talent. But Stability has a few important differentiators from OpenAI where I believe if they launch an AI-native product in the multimodal space, they stand to differentiate significantly:
- People join because they believed in Emad's vision of open source so it is their job to figure out a commercial model for open source. They can retain AI talent by ensuring a commitment to open source here. If they need to ensure their moat is retained and can commercialize, they should delay releasing model weights until a product surrounding the weights has been released first. Still open source and open weights but give them time to figure out a commercial strategy to capitalize their research. However because of this promise, they will not be able to license their technology to other companies.
- Stability's strong research DNA (unsure about their engineering) is so badly fumbled by a lack of a cohesive product strategy that it leads to sub-par product releases. In agreement to the 3 'layers' argument, that's exactly Stability's greatest strength and weakness. Their focus on foundational models is incredibly strong and has come at the cost of the interface layer (and ultimately the data layer as it has a flywheel effect).

The company currently screams a need for effective leadership that can add on interface and data layers to their product strategy so they can build a strong moat outside of a strong research team which has shown it can disappear at any moment...

That's a loooong time, obviously, but it's not "theoretically impossible"
Google Cloud Functions is another online service where you can run arbitrary Python code "in the cloud" (on Google's servers). They have a free tier. And if you want to use it... you have to give them your credit card information. That's just how services like these work.

Reflex has nothing like that: you can't run your Python code on their servers, yet --- and once you can, you can be sure they're not going to let you try it for free without asking for your credit card.
It's really all software.

It's just that in this case the interface is within the skull as opposed to transmission through the optical nerve. :P

Real GDP is supposed to account for that with the GDP deflator. Whether it actually does or not is a different story since I'm not knowledgable to know the details of that calculation, but I agree with your sentiment. Per-capita GDP has nothing to do with wealth distribution and with a depreciating currency, those at the bottom get the short end of the stick.
> What we do know with certainty is that Earth's chemistry can result in life

We know that Earth's chemistry can _support_ life. Panspermia is still a plausible explanation for life on Earth.
My issue with this approach is that the synthetic data, and the language used to describe it, necessarily encode a viewpoint - a bias - on the part of the creators. I am firmly behind the need to use language as an intermediary signifier, not just for utility purposes, but because it unlocks the ability to use language as an anchor for arbitrary AR data. My problem with this particular approach is that it requires us all to agree on what things are called, and requires the training dataset to cover everything users might come across.

My feeling is the better approach is to train a generalized segmentation model, derive multi-parameter representations of those segmented ‘things’, derive embeddings from those things for compression purposes, then allow users to ‘tag’ or ‘label’ or ‘describe’ those things as a service to other users. Then we could choose whose language about the world we ‘subscribe’ to, and anyone could attach any digital payload to any real thing/person/place without anyone else’s help or permission.

Wow that is so cool. Fractal game of life! Is this just a very specific configuration that repeats in a fractal way?
Question is to people who say if universe is teeming with life, then why is it not visible close by: We don't know how large the universe is. If say life is "teeming" means it's found every 1M Parsec on the size of 10^100M Parsec, wouldn't it be teeming, and yet nothing in our vicinity?

I'm being genuinely curious, not dissing on anyone.
> and the use of technology didn't substantially change that.

This is complete BS. Technology made it scalable to track where everyone is and query it historically. This used to require tailing someone so it couldn’t be done at scale.
If this were commonly-used code at the core of a project, I would definitely agree. However, this is the kind of thing that gets stuck into a CI pipeline and not looked at for months or years, and it's written in two languages (GraphViz and very SQLite-specific SQL) that probably most people don't use regularly. I gave it the comments I'll wish it had the next time I come back to it, to figure out how it works.

> If your contract says you make $5000/month in salary, then why would the number of dollars decrease?

Well, deflation means everything costs less. And "everything" includes wages and salaries, even yours. If we had 50% deflation, that means the boss could hire somebody who was as productive as you for 50% less. This is elementary, right? That's what deflation means.

So either you are going to renegotiate that contract, or the boss will just fire you and hire somebody else.

"But I have a contract--how can he fire me??" Do you have a contract with your employer? If so, take another look at it--it will say you can be fired at any time for any reason.

There was a time in America when unions were strong enough that they could demand contracts for you which limited the conditions under which you could be fired. But (thank you, Ronald Reagan) those days were half a century ago. Some call it bullshit, some call it "efficient capitalism".

But the more efficient capitalism is, the faster your salary would decrease in lockstep with deflation. You would very rapidly not be able to pay your car payment, mortgage and credit cards. And if you think the banks are going care about your sob story, remember in 2008, the last time that large numbers of people couldn't pay their mortgages, they were kicked out into the street by the millions.

> (in countries that don't suck, anyway).

Well, two points, 1) America is a country that sucks, in that sense, and 2) Countries that don't suck do not let themselves fall into a deflationary trap.
