Yeah the lack of a refinery does seem like a problem. Maybe they were making something close-enough to diesel out of it with some crude process? No way they were making gasoline, nor most other petroleum fuels.

Three a day seems like overkill. I think if you brush at least twice a day, then one xylitol gum at night after brushing is probably sufficient. Kills the bacteria that grew during the day and kills bacteria that try to grow in your mouth overnight.

Cause it wouldn't give better results. The big advantage of putting telescope in space is that don't have to deal with the movement of the air distorting the image. That doesn't matter when taking pictures of diffuse objects.

The disadvantage is that it is in space, you have to spend 10x or 100x as much making something that can work in space, and you can't maintain it. I bet it would be much better to spend that money making dozens of these around the world, or iterating on the design.

The other advantage is that atmosphere is opaque for some wavelengths. The infrared wavelength that JWST looks in are absorbed. It also helps to be able to cool down the detectors to lower temps. One reason we aren't seeing direct replacement for Hubble is that the big ground telescopes with active optics are as good.

That sort of issue crops up all the time in medicine. Screening for conditions will always produce some false positives, and the ramifications can vary from scaring the shit out of someone for a few weeks before you determine they don't have cancer after all to them dying as a result of further testing/treatment that wouldn't have happened without that initial screening. That and the potential adverse outcomes of the screening itself (and its costs) always has to be weighed against the value of the true positives.

Given it's est. he'd have paid $500m+ in income tax in 2023[1], I think your calculation is off — he's subsidizing your economic activity.

Just because the rate is lower, doesn't mean the real $ amount — what actually matters — isn't vastly higher.

(Don't have any firsthand experience but) I've always assumed their relationship with English is similar to most Americans' relationship with Spanish. They are both taught in "textbook" form as part of the curriculum, and as a result most probably could get by on "input" (reading or slow verbal comprehension) but there is no need to be good at "output".
Hmmm... Not sure for this one
You can look at individual items and see how their prices have changed. Things that scale with technology and efficiency improvements have indeed gotten cheaper or tracked inflation.
But things that require human labor or don’t benefit from technology (like a nurse, or food, restaurant) are up 50% just in the past few years.

I don't understand your question.

What I'm saying is that calling a library/crate/whatever is an entirely different thing from using a tool like a compiler/IDE/etc. In the former, you're incorporating external code into your project. In the latter, you're not.

I think most people wouldn't say that you're "using someone else's code" in your project just by using a tool written by someone else because the tool's code is not being included in your project.

Perhaps I misunderstood you, though. Your statement "There must be a bunch of hardcore people on here who are writing directly on the metal in machine code" heavily implies that you believe that using an assembler or compiler counts as "using existing code". In this context, I don't think it does.

By the way, I do, in fact, sometimes write code directly in machine language. Not large amounts of it, of course, but some.

“[This short story] depicts the last day in the life of Laia Asieo Odo, a revolutionary figure, shortly before the revolution she helped inspire sweeps through her society. ‘The Day Before the Revolution’ was written soon after The Dispossessed (1974); it is described as a prologue to that novel, which is set in the same planetary system. The idealized anarchist society depicted in The Dispossessed is based on Odo's teachings, and is a stateless, scientific, and largely anti-authoritarian society. Odo's theory is put into practice after the revolution she inspired, with the colonization of the moon Anarres and the establishment of a society without private property. In The Dispossessed, she is usually referred to as the historical figure Odo, but in this story, told from her point of view, she is called Laia. In her preface to ‘The Day Before the Revolution’, Le Guin described the philosophy of Odo as anarchism, and dedicated the story to anarchist theorist Paul Goodman.”

One of the techniques for a voice assistant to distinguish its own voice from background sound is called a Fourier transform, although I expect that the state of the art in this area also includes some other techniques and research.

>Many of them claim that there isn't anything to emerge that hasn't already emerged. Their claim is often that there is no "intelligence" or "sentience" or "understanding" or "consciousness" distinct from the behaviors already displayed by existing statistical models.

Woah boy, I detect mischief in this portrayal of who is claiming what. Two questions to separate out here. (1) Can computers ever, in principle, do the all the special kinds of things that human minds can do and (2) do LLM's as of 2024 do any of those truly special things?

But also a separate thing to untangle, which is whether (A) LLMs do anything intelligently given the various possible meanings of the term, and (B) whether they are conscious or sentient or are AGI, which is a whole other ballgame entirely.

I think there's mischief here because I do think it's nuts to say LLMs right now have any special spark, but you seem to want to make proponents of (1) answer for that belief, which I think is not very fair to that argument. I think it's rare to find people in the wild who are considered respectable proponents of (1), who would say that. More often you find people like that Google engineer who got fired.

And I think there's mischief here because it's one thing to say LLMs do (A) and another to say they do (B), and I think you can reasonably say (A) without going off the deep end. And I think blending A and B together is again trying to make (1) answer for a crazy argument.

3. You need Face ID to disable lockdown mode

4. Face ID cannot be used in lockdown mode. Go back to step 3

5. I have to reset my phone. I forgot that I have eSIM, so resetting deletes my phone number too.

Step holy shit: Apple let me delete my entire sim card in about a one click warning lol.

This is a beautiful comment, and I couldn't agree more.

There is only one standard of accomplishment and it's set by people like Mozart.

Accepting that is humbling, but it's required to know yourself and grow. My contributions probably won't amount to much, but Mozart (et al) have shown us what good looks like and it's fun to strive.

I would suggest, instead, that we can still see their light.

They may have popped their clogs, long ago, and we would not have known, as we're seeing their old videotapes.

There's something called the "Cosmic Event Horizon," or somesuch. It's the distance from us, that we'll never be able to see, because it is more than 13.8 billion light-years away, and we'll never see anything beyond.

Every time I think about the distances and scales of the universe, I get a headache.

>> there are no arguments that are both rational and anti-Israel.

> This seems like a leap of logic.

a) There are no illegitimate states

b) Israel is unique and unquestionable

...<then non-sequiturs about South Africa and Rhodesia>

I am a Westerner. One of my core beliefs is that rationalism and logic leads to truth and correct action; conversely that irrationality and emotionalism leads to suffering and poor decisions. I'm not pro-Israel because I've chosen "team Israel, right or wrong". I'm pro-Israel because the pro-Israel arguments that I've heard are far more rational than pro-Palestinian arguments. I do seek out anti-Israel arguments, hoping to find something rational, but so far, nothing. Again, my goal is truth and correct action, not tribal chest-thumping.

Your arguments here did not hit the mark. I do not accept that South Africa or Rhodesia are appropriate comparisons, and therefore their inclusion was a non-sequitur.

Further, my null hypothesis is that Israel is an unremarkable state, not "unique and unquestionable". I therefore interpret Israel as doing only that which any Western nation would do in the same circumstances. Yours appears to be the obverse, that Israel is uniquely questionable. Maybe it is? You'd have to supply evidence or arguments compelling enough to match that thesis, for me to be convinced.

If you do want to earnestly go down this path of becoming the first to construct actually rational arguments against Israel, you won't be able to just throw around emotional shorthands like "apartheid", "Nakba", "settler-colonialist", etc. It's lazy emotionalism designed to stop rational thought. It will convince only those who are already convinced, but it's not a rational argument.

If you want to argue rationally and compellingly that Israel is "an apartheid state" then understand the strongest arguments against using that term, and dismantle those arguments. We pro-Israel peeps have heard all the accusations, but have never heard any considered, thoughtful, direct, courageous rebuttal of the "Israel is not apartheid, actually" arguments. Just more emotionalism.

I do bet that if you take the journey to understand the arguments for and the arguments against you will conclude that it's not appropriate in Israel's case. But! Maybe I'm wrong about that! Maybe you will come up with a really rational, dispassionate argument that Israel is an apartheid state and all rational people will be compelled to follow the truth, reluctantly or not.

Good luck. I honestly look forward to see what you come up with.

I just moved to the Seattle area and like it so far. It's very scenic and cool so far temperature-wise (although getting warmer over the years from what I read). I have family here, but even if I didn't, it'd be a strong candidate because of the weather (I'm ok with cloudy and cool), nature/scenery, and the tech industry. Housing is quite expensive though so raising kids may be more difficult...

This is the first time I try reading a Jepsen report in-depth, but I really like the clear description of Datomic's intra-transaction behavior. I didn't realize how little I understood the difference between Datomic's transactions and those of SQL databases.

One thing that stands out to me is this paragraph

Datomic used to refer to the data structure passed to d/transact as a “transaction”, and to its elements as “statements” or “operations”. Going forward, Datomic intends to refer to this structure as a “transaction request”, and to its elements as “data”.

What does this mean for d/transact-async and related functionality from the datomic.api namespace? I haven't used Datomic in nearly a year. A lot seems to have changed.

... also could have a unintended effect. A kid could start to notice a peer pressure and get more clear idea how to follow trends or even predict them and to run ahead of them.

Teenagers are really concerned about what their peers think about them. If you tell them all about peer pressure, they will listen attentively, and develop a strategy how to grow in the eyes of their peers. Very bright could get the idea that you can be the source of peer pressure. Lets start smoking and lets make all others to start smoking too.

I would say, that if you talk with kids about smoking, some of kids get the idea that if they were seen smoking, then they will look more knowledgeable about smoking than you. Or maybe they will see rebellious and independent from boring adults. Especially rebellious if adults talk about dangers of smoking all the time.

People's minds are difficult complex machines, they could react at your stimulus in unexpected ways, and the more ways you can predict the more mind-blowing unpredictable become.

I wouldn't count on it, it is still derivative work and I am sure the licences for the games forbid this. Some companies may let it slide, but Nintendo is known to be aggressive about their intellectual property.

And you will probably have a hard time arguing that it doesn't promote piracy. You can't get "ROMs" officially. You have to extract them from the cartridge with specialized equipment, or maybe in some other way, but it is not as simple as reading from a CD. It means that most people will simply get them from illegal sources. With an emulator, you can say it is for "homebrews", but if you recompile a commercial game, you can't use this argument.
Sinclair is now using epigenetic regprogramming with OSK (developmental) genes to effectively regrow the severed optic nerve in primates and proceeding to humans. Levin has mouse paws cut off in a similar way and regrows them in a wearable bioreactor with a mix of drugs, which include not only "electroceuticals" (ion channel modulators), but probably also some (growth) hormones or hormone precursors (as he mentioned in a podcast they may use some estrogen precursor).
Yea, they regenerate ~70% of the whole paw with multiple tissues, but the end result seems the same if it would be obtained by OSK reprogramming.

In a recent podcast #300 Attia was again mentioning the rather reliable benefits of caloric restriction. So thermodynamically it still seems ridiculous that by reducing the inflow of energy (at least the one of the most well-known type) the biological (and presumable computational) efficiency is increased at literally no cost.

I agree, but I just don’t see an alternative future if we want to maintain an open platform for the global exchange of ideas.

I also don’t feel like this changes the privacy debate. I’m not naive enough to think Google and 1000 other data brokers don’t know exactly who I am.

Having a verifiably unique digital identity wouldn’t change that fact. I’d still want to control when and how data associated with my identity is monetized.

Maybe regulators can force Google et al to digitally watermark data before they sell it, so if I find it elsewhere without my permission I can trace it back to Google and seek remuneration.

I think the only way we get the internet back is to hold everyone accountable that wants to participate.
