> Der Kuss (by Klimt) is widely regarded as being good art,

The point is, generative AI images are not widely regarded as good art. They're often seen as passable for some filler use cases and hard to tell apart from human generations, but not "good".

It's not not-there-yet because AI sometimes generates sixth fingers, it's something another level from Gustav Klimt, Damien Hirst, Kusama Yayoi, or the likes[0]. It could be that genAI is leaving something that human artist would filter out, or because images are too disorganized that they appear to us to be encoding malice or other negative emotions, or maybe I'm just wrong and it's all about anatomy.

But whatever the reason is, IMO, it's way too rarely considered good, gaining too few supportive celebrities and artists and audiences, to work.

I am using NoScript on Firefox, nothing else. When I tried to log in, first it made me go through a stupid password reset, that involved sending a plaintext temporary password to my email account, answer a security question, then force me to change my password, which I changed back to the original one. What a joke.

Anyway, in NoScript I had to "temp trust" pge.com, while leaving all those other links (the ones you listed and a few more) as "untrusted". So right now I am logged in, but there is a pop up asking (forcing) me to "update my contact info" in case of a Public Safety Power outage. There is a little 3-dot progress icon I can see in the middle of the pop up, like it's trying to refresh something. I can't escape the pop up unless I click on "Update contact info" (even though I have no updates).

So I did that, not actually updating anything, and now I see what you describe, a grey-ed out page with my info, but the little 3 dot progress spinner just running continuously, and my mouse cursor also spinning continuously when hovering over the page.
As far as I remember, C++ doesn't define any struct of virtual methods at all. Individual implementations do. Hence why he points out that by convention the vtable is before all other members, and lists some of the implementations that follows this convention.

Also not a biologist, but as I understand it: Every living creature synthesizes proteins. Every time you synthesize a protein, there is a tiny tiny chance that it synthesizes "backward". Backward proteins are physically incompatible with "forward" proteins, and also increase the risk that more proteins synthesize backward. It leads to a cascade of errors where lots of proteins synthesize backward and the cells and internal structures can no longer function. It's like you fall apart due to half your Lego bricks being upside-down. And, this is all a statistical probability that could occur in any moment to any living organism.

The evolutionary defenses are to break apart all incoming proteins and reassemble them yourself, and have a cycle of life that starts new organisms from scratch. Large carnivores can't hope to break apart every incoming protein, though. So, basically our lifespans and reproduction method of growing up from a single cell are the evolutionary defenses against the natural phenomenon of prions. But yes, prion disease is probably what forces all higher foodchain animals to avoid cannibalism.

We don't need to expend much energy in speculation about organisations that don't like the term anthropocene.

> opinion that any Anthropocene classification should reflect the major impacts humans introduced as they cut down forests and turned land over to agriculture, which would put the start date many thousands of years in the past.

It isn't that small-scale activity has ever been the problem. It isn't that our species is incompatible with the Earth's biosphere -- we evolved on this planet.

It is in that our reckless pursuit of industrialism and consumerism (particularly in the past century), have we have scaled our population and our lazy, short-sighted, narcissistic hubris beyond what's even sustainable to keep ourselves healthy.

The Anthropocene is a valuable concept and it will be present in the geological record:

= significant loss of species because of destruction of natural habit to favour burning wood, coal, and cultivation of unsustainable food industries

= climate change because of the petroleum industry

= plastic in the oceans, in the food chain, in remote locations and in arctic snowfall

= chemical hormone disruptors in the food chain

= enormous dumps full of machine waste

That's not the usual meaning of "reimplement".
That same technology has also dramatically increased the cost of doing that.

Data isn't free and processing big data isn't cheap. As much as Google has the data, that means they need to store that data.

You know what used to happen before and still happens now, an example. I live in a restricted access area. Restricted in the sense rhat to get in some guy needs to take your name and license plate.

For many many businesses parks in my country that is still the defacto. There isn't really a camera watching that other than general CCTV that probably doesn't have the resolution to pick up text on our license plates. It's cheaper for them to literally pay a guy to stand at a boom and get that information than to install the technology required to track that automatically.

Yes please, I would love to read the criticisms of the book. Do you have any specific recommendations? Another commenter mentioned the Wikipedia page, which I am looking at now.

I definitely have criticisms of my own, such as the author being obsessed with telling the reader directly that Europeans aren't smarter (in fact he makes clear multiple times that Polynesians are genetically smarter than Europeans), and with him calling everyone and everything racist if they even consider the possibility that differences between groups of humans could have had anything to do with how their histories turned out, even directly calling any of those theories "racist." He also freely mixes his own opinion with facts, although he did usually make an attempt to include some of the counter-arguments, though they smelled a bit like strawmen.

But overall the book's attempt at comprehensive, engaging overview and the focus around what seems like such a simple question ("Yali's question"), and a lot of mostly accurate stuff, made for an enjoyable read and one I would recommend.
Each side (those using social media to highlight systemic failures / those too 'busy' contributing to said failures to use social media) thinks the other has their head buried in the sand.

The Aptera looks interesting for that sort of space. You might be able to option it with the lowest battery if you don't care about range and with the largest solar panel option and perhaps never/rarely even need to plug it in.

I've heard this pitch from a few AI labs. I suspect that they will fail, customers just want a model that works in the shortest amount of time and effort. The vast majority of companies do not have useful fine tuning data or skills. Consultancy businesses are low margin and hard to scale.

To me, I think it depends on what is the goal when you are searching something and what is that data in particular. Infinite scroll and pagination offer different user experience proposes, and make different assumptions about the user.

To give a blatant example where I don't see a pagination system making that much sense, pagination on a personalized news feed of some social media. That information is changing constantly. It's a never-ending information stream.

Even in the case here, if you are searching for a blog or podcast, you could just link that blog article rather than the page search where you found that article. Especially in a situation where you don't have any interaction with that content aside clicking on it. Especially when the search engine doesn't seem to have millions of results, which seems to be the case here, it seems to be a relatively small list of blogs submitted to this site.

Infinite scroll on the other hand have some problems especially in situations where you are expect to interact with that content one way or the other (such as a commentary section). In fact, when dealing with really large amounts of data, it essentially buries that data. Think about a commentary section with 60.000 commentaries. Essentially 98% of them are hidden way because the browser will crash before loading them. So if you decide to go down infinite scroll route, I think the very least you could do would be offer another way to search for stuff, such as search option inside the commentary section (although nobody does that). But I think a pagination system would be better in that situation.

Anyway, just some food for thoughts.

Well... yes. What's your point?
‘Prevents’ is an odd way of putting it.

A thing eating dead instances of its same family is already a near ideal situation for passing disease, no fancy evolutionary mechanism required. Frankly, hard to imagine a better one.

If mammals needed a ‘anti cannibalism’ evolutionary mechanism there are plenty of other mechanisms - like disgust responses - that would actually prevent disease.

Agreed, I think the key here is that the Game of Life is structured enough that many computational steps can be elided in this way. If it was more chaotic, this couldn't happen. The realization that GoL can be used to run one GoL cell in isolation is the brilliance here I think. Once you can decompose one single cell into GoL, you can also compose GoL into one cell and save computational cycles. Then suddenly it can be GoL all the way down.

2024 is going to shift into a tough year for AI. Business minded folks are already starting to deeply question where the value is relative to the amount of money spent on training. Many/most of the GenAI companies have interesting ideas but no real business plan. Many of the larger AI companies look very shaky in terms of their governance and long term stability. Stability is showing itself to be very unstable, OpenAI has its mess that still seems not fully resolved, Inflection had a bunch of strange stuff go down earlier this week, and more to come.

I’m a huge fan of the tech, but as reality sets in things are gonna get quite rough and there will need to be a painful culling of the AI space before sustainable and long term value materializes.
"Guys, we know our users' names, addresses, all of their emails, browsing history, location history and contacts... but we're missing the critical information! Their phone numbers! Can anyone come up with a security justification for asking for it?"

-Nobody ever.

Come on, use your brain. Even if you are talking about smaller entities who might otherwise only have names and emails, why would they want phone numbers? They don't care about identifying you. And even if they did they already have your email and name.

I'm curious about where you draw the line between basic safety features/spam filtering and "curation" and the reasons behind that.

Ad blockers just use a list of known malicious URLs/domains/CSS selectors and use that to block/hide elements.

This is identical to Safe Browsing (preventing loading of known malicious domains) which you seem to be fine with and don't see as "curation".

Your attempt to point low-skilled labor as doing great ignores that a lot of low skilled workers are just leaving the workforce, and that a low-skilled job is not a path to house ownership, in part because house inflation is heavily localized and not equally distributed. If you are a low-skilled worker in an urban environment that wage inflation maybe helps you keep up with rent and go out to dinner one more time a month.

Low-skilled labor in America is basically a temporary way to make money and offers no long term future. That was not the case 40 years ago. You have to use whatever opportunity a low-skilled job provides as a springboard to high skilled labor, otherwise you will tread water at best. In part cause you cannot use it to acquire financial assets (a house, 401k, etc) and the American economy is now built around ensuring financial assets appreciate (inflate in value).

Prions are indeed very concerning on a concrete per-instance basis, but —unlike viruses— not that concerning in the abstract as a generic threat. Prions as a phenomenon do not exploit an essential feature of our metabolism, and cannot 'evolve' per se, but are limited to the specific cases in which a) a given protein sequence can stably misfold rendering it ineffective, b) exposure of already functionally 'eufolded' proteins to the misfolded one can trigger subsequent misfolding, and c) misfolded versions of the protein can and do consistently come in contact with non-misfolded functional ones.

I'm not trying to downplay the threat and incredible difficulty of preventing known prion diseases, particularly with regards to destroying the infectious prions. However, to illustrate the rarity of the phenomenon on a per-protein basis, consider how the processes involved in cooking have themselves been denaturing (i.e. mifolding) an unimaginable number of all kinds of proteins in a myriad of ways all since human prehistory, and yet we have no known examples nor even hints of new prions having been created in the process.
