1. The Greens didn't push to close the nuclear power plants alone:

The phase-out of nuclear energy in Germany was first regulated in the year 2000 under the red-green federal government (Schröder I Cabinet) through a contract known as the Nuclear Consensus between the Federal Republic and various operating companies. In 2002, the German Nuclear Energy Act was revised based on this contract. The Nuclear Consensus stipulated that, assuming a standard operational lifetime of about 32 years, a nuclear power plant was allowed to produce a specified "remaining electricity amount" before being decommissioned. Based on the electricity production of the individual plants in the past, the assigned remaining electricity amounts would mean that the last of the 19 German nuclear power plants would be decommissioned around 2021. Because the Nuclear Consensus allowed for the transfer of remaining electricity amounts between plants, the Stade (on November 14, 2003) and Obrigheim (on May 11, 2005) nuclear power plants were decommissioned.

On October 28, 2010, the Bundestag, with a black-yellow majority under the Merkel II Cabinet, decided on a further amendment to the Nuclear Energy Act, extending the operating times of the seven facilities that started operation before 1980 by eight years each, and those of the remaining ten nuclear power plants by 14 years each. This was publicly referred to as a "reversal of the phase-out." In return, the energy companies committed to an annual payment of 300 million euros for the years 2011 and 2012, and 200 million euros annually until 2016. The funds were intended to finance the Energy and Climate Fund. Furthermore, the federal government (as announced on September 6) introduced a nuclear fuel tax of 2.3 billion euros annually for six years, from January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2016.

This extension was revised in 2011 – following the onset of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. This was publicly referred to as a "reversal of the reversal of the phase-out." After the announcement of a moratorium on operating times on March 14, 2011, the operators ceased their payments to the Energy and Climate Fund.

During the energy crisis following the energy conflict in 2022, the federal government allowed the continued operation of the last three nuclear power plants, Emsland, Isar 2, and Neckarwestheim 2, until mid-April 2023; this required a legislative change, as the Nuclear Energy Act of 2011 had definitively planned for a gradual phase-out by the end of 2022. In April 2023, the nuclear power plants Emsland, Isar 2, and Neckarwestheim 2 were taken offline.

Yes, but the average bike thief is looking for an easy steal and will avoid wasting time on a locked bike. Bikes in the Netherlands usually have 2 locks (a wheel lock and an extra chain), so thieves will usually move on from those first. A portable laser might allow a thief to steal even previously safer bikes just because it makes it quicker and silent (I'm assuming both).

> Virtually everyone agrees that a human learning from reading code doesn't violate copyright (by somehow copying the knowledge into one's brain), because the human brain is some kind of copyright laundering machine, maybe? I don't really know whether there is any argument for that apart that can't be reduced to an appeal to common sense.

This isn't really agreed on at all. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_room_design which wouldn't exist if it was agreed on.

However, note the case law example of the NEC V20 which found in NEC's favor:

> While NEC themselves did not follow a strict clean room approach in the development of their clone's microcode, during the trial, they hired an independent contractor who was only given access to specifications but ended up writing code that had certain similarities to both NEC's and Intel's code. From this evidence, the judge concluded that similarity in certain routines was a matter of functional constraints resulting from the compatibility requirements, and thus were likely free of a creative element.

The optimistic take is a feedback loop that makes them both better and more capable, writing code you can't debug is bad, but it could help you understand and build your own skills to a point that you can.

The pessimistic and more likely outcome is that people just want shit done and so they will slap any half working garbo together as they have done for the last 20 years I have been in the industry.

I do nightly backups of my critical machines to a central server, some are connected wirelessly. The server is obviously hard wired.

Whereas the wired ones upload their backups at full gigabit speed (~100MB/s including overhead), the wireless ones only ever upload at ~10MB/s. I might see it go up to ~30MB/s if I'm lucky, but we're talking pigs flying over blue moons.

The wireless machines range from "one wall away" to "other side of the bloody house", but they're all the same. Even if I get one one sitting right next to the router it won't do more than ~10MB/s. I'm also located in the middle of nowhere in terms of EMI, so the air is clear.

Wireless is bullshit. If you need speed, just run copper and save yourself the grief. You only use wireless when the convenience of not running copper and/or being mobile trumps the lack of speed and reliability.

> Why does, 'mat' follow from 'the cat sat on the ...'

You're confidently incorrect by oversimplifying all LLMs to a base model performing a completion from a trivial context of 5 words.

This is tantamount to a straw man. Not only do few people use untuned base models, it completely ignores in-context learning that allows the model to build complex semantic structures from the relationships learnt from its training data.

Unlike base models, instruct and chat fine-tuning teaches models to 'reason' (or rather, perform semantic calculations in abstract latent spaces) with their "conditional probability structure", as you call it, to varying extents. The model must learn to use its 'facts', understand semantics, and perform abstractions in order to follow arbitrary instructions.

You're also confabulating the training metric of "predicting tokens" with the mechanisms required to satisfy this metric for complex instructions. It's like saying "animals are just performing survival of the fittest". While technically correct, complex behaviours evolve to satisfy this 'survival' metric.

You could argue they're "just stitching together phrases", but then you would be varying degrees of wrong:

For one, this assumes phrases are compressed into semantically addressable units, which is already a form of abstraction ripe for allowing reasoning beyond 'stochastic parroting'.

For two, it's well known that the first layers perform basic structural analysis such as grammar, and later layers perform increasing levels of abstract processing.

For three, it shows a lack of understanding in how transformers perform semantic computation in-context from the relationships learnt by the feed-forward layers. If you're genuinely interested in understanding the computation model of transformers and how attention can perform semantic computation, take a look here: https://srush.github.io/raspy/

For a practical example of 'understanding' (to use the term loosely), give an instruct/chat tuned model the text of an article and ask it something like "What questions should this article answer, but doesn't?" This requires not just extracting phrases from a source, but understanding the context of the article on several levels, then reasoning about what the context is not asserting. Even comparatively simple 4x7B MoE models are able to do this effectively.

People lose jobs from technological progress, they've been able to see the writing on the wall for a while, and it's still not even a done deal, so frankly if journalists aren't figuring out how to get paid now, it's kind of on them. If their answer to how do I get paid is lawsuits, they deserve the suffering they're going to get.

I got it from your original post: you don't give a shit. I was just calling you out on it. At least you own it.

> 2. Open source data sets can have curation too, this seems like a silly strawman to make.

It's not a strawman, but "curated open source data sets" are a red herring: those data sets are not what is going to be controlling the online experience of the vast majority of those online.

The conservative Sohrab Ahmari recently wrote a piece in which even he found Musk to be too conservative for his tastes. One of his complaints:

>A popular white-nationalist account with the handle “IAmYesYouAreNo” posts a meme declaring, “You are witnessing the biggest act of cuckoldry in human history. An entire civilisation willingly giving away its land and women.” Musk quotes the post, adding in his own words, “Accurate” (he has since deleted the response).

What's the mitigating context here? Can you adequately explain it for me?

A big enough quantitative change is a qualitative change. There is a big difference between a bad programmer who banged on that code for three days before finally getting it to do what they wanted it to do, and never went back to try to minimize it and clean it up, and that same programmer pushing a prompt into X-GPT and getting that code in five minutes, then moving on to do it again and again and again dozens of times faster than before.

Like everyone else here of any experience I too have waded through gooey code that was impossible to discern any purpose or design in, because there really wasn't any, after everyone was done hacking on it. But the hacking was still bounded by human speeds.

Our only two options for a code base produced that way would be 1. discard it and start over or 2. hope that the next-generation AIs that aren't just LLMs are able to clean it up, since "automatically cleaning up LLM-generated code bases" is going to be a rather lucrative field. LLMs, no matter how much you hypetrophy them, aren't suitable for coding at scale, and they can't be. Their architecture is just wrong. But that's a claim I only make about LLMs, not AI in general.
If we can automate anything ANNOYING we can do anything we like.

Some would do just science, innovation, because "solve everything" means nothing in practice, means just solving current problems as we know how to solve them in an automated fashion, some other will live like Virtual Revolution (movie) "connected life", some will have sex as much as their body allow etc.

A day we hope to became able to evolve after our body, substituting it with machines, to reach formal immortality, meaning "we live as long as we like, no suffering, no illness etc". That's an old dream of the humanity, ancient Greek's have called it "the Gold age".

This is why he is setting up his own exit node and paying for his own instance. Using VPNs is an easy way to get a block from your bank. VPN IPs are frequently added to denylists because they have a high chance of being used by bad actors.
Although to be honest, cloud providers also get ban-hammered from time to time.

The best thing would be to have your own physical machine act as an exit node instead of relying on a cloud instance. That would bring a whole series of new problems for keeping a machine up and running while you are away, but doable

I'd say Tesla is in alot of trouble from:

- low cost EV's from China

- a CEO who has alot of other interest

- a product line that is starting to look pretty old

- a new truck product that has hard far more complaints than their other lines

- a cancelled low end car that will allow a big door open to low cost providers.

But I've thought Tesla was in trouble before and I've been very wrong on that account.

Their charging network is a nice moat but one that can be over come in a few years as setting a charging station is now a week's worth of work, unlike a gas station that can take a year just for permitting.

Their stock price used to be a huge net positive for Tesla to help keep employees happy and cover up alot of mistakes on roll outs but that hasn't been great in the last year and their largest owner has alot of sell pressure on the stock due to his other interests so its hard to see the stock doing well in the next year to two.

The thing that keeps me from seeing Tesla fall off a cliff is that Elon seems capable of doing incredible things if he can focus.

If Tesla really starts to decline and Elon can find a way to stay off twitter and focus on it then I can't see how you short this company.

Even if the worst happens to it, someone will acquire it just for their global factory setup and their battery production.
Many people (still) don't understand how 2FA works.

Whereas 99.999%? of the users won't use tor/$vpnCompany/cloud provider IPs. It's all in terms of which is less likely to lead to a support request.

Oh for sure, and in a commercial setting your other point about being able to hire people is just as important. Don't get me wrong, React and friends are totally fine tool choices for teams and projects of significant (or loosely defined) scope.

It does seem a little strange considering that they have a microSD module which is electrically almost exactly the same thing (the only difference is the mechanical write protect toggle).

Then again they have a miniscule engineering team but they have made two laptops with some pretty non-conventional design aspects and a bunch of modules including a swappable GPU and (one of?) the first 180W USB-C power supplies they're doing a pretty good job so far.

Considering the relative rarity of SD cards compared to microSD, other than photo- and videographers who aren't really a core demographic, welded as they often are into the Mac ecosystem, I can see why it's not the biggest priority and it certainly doesn't smell of dishonesty. I mean, why would they even be up to shenanigans over SD cards of all things?

Since they're on the case (ha, geddit?) anyway, you can get a $5 USB3 SD adapter today and buy the module when it comes out. Which is more than I can hope for with a recent ThinkPad!

In psychology, there is an idea of "locus of control".

I think OOP done well and applied in suitable scenarios results in entities that have internal locus of control; it's mutations of state are internally managed.

OOP done poorly has external locus of control where some external "service" or "util" or "helper" manages the mutation of state.

Tangential question that rose up regarding availability vs. quality of life.

For a small startup whose products are only available on the US, does it always make sense to do nightly oncall? This doesn't work for some products, but if, for example, you have a site that sells mattresses in the US, would you wake someone up to fix the site at 3AM?

I guess here the main $$ loss would come from accepting so much traffic. But I wonder if we can better differentiate what's worth waking up for.
