You’re talking as though the only decision behind reproducing is an active rejection of contraception. Whilst this be practically happening during the fecund period, it is hardly the only influence and is certainly not responsible for the decrease in average fecundity women have seen across the world. The idea that this is a trait that is going to be selected for when every breeding pair are part of it is patently ridiculous to my perception, there is no population bottleneck or significant progeny advantage that you are gaining against every other reproducing couple that drives an evolutionary advantage; and we’re certainly not going to be able to select for a shorter gestation or increased/earlier independence of the young
I don't think that cynical view is justified. There are and have always been countless problems with the state of the world. Our ability to know about those problems in detail has never been greater. Anyone who looks at and cares about those problems will have unlimited ammo for pessimistic thoughts and discourse - just as the article argues.
Demand did change though - people weren't pooping as much at offices, restaurants, and retail stores. All those places tend to use "commercial" toilet paper that is not available in your average grocery store.

If you looked at commercial suppliers during 2020, you were much more likely to find available supply, though it may be a bit awkward using one of those giant rolls at home when it won't fit on a standard dispenser.

I’m far from an expert on the topic, but when I think of a peer reviewed paper, I assume the review is for the content… is the methodology sound, can it be reproduced, etc… I don’t think they are checking for grammar and sentence structure. That’s not their area of expertise and they probably don’t want to waste their time playing English teacher. If the person who wrote the paper is a non-native speaker, I would expect them to work with a native speaker to proofread and edit, if they care about the paper reading well.

Supposed these panels were $100k/plane.

Jet fuel costs $0.36/lbs and a 777 burns about 30 lbs/nm in cruise. Suppose a 777 averages 14,000 nm/day. That's 420,000 lbs/day or $151,200/day. 1% savings would be $1,512/day, so the break even point would be roughly 2 months and would be profitable from then on. Suppose a 2 year lifecycle. That a savings $500k per year per plane.

But the way they delete chatrooms is off brand. If you want to incentivize people to chat in chat instead of in comments, make sure chat is actually usable. That means not deleting chatrooms after a few days!
Old compilers/IDEs like Turbo Pascal or Think C were/are usably fast on single-digit MHz machines and emulators.

And even if the CPU is 50 MHz, modern DRAM and NVMe flash are very fast compared to memory and storage on 1990s (or older) machines.

Older versions of Microsoft Office (etc.) ran about the same on 50 MHz systems as Office 365 runs today.
It was my understanding that because most businesses were closed for an extended period of it the TP-production companies had to shift their production lines from the god-awful paper typically used in commercial settings to the paper typically used in homes.

A few weeks into the shelter-in-place order, I did see commercial TP appearing on the shelves in my local corner stores. A while later, I started seeing household TP appearing again.

I'm not claiming that there was no hoarding, nor that there was no profiteering by folks buying up lots of stock and selling "on the street" at inflated prices. I am definitely claiming that closing most businesses for an extended period absolutely changed the underlying ratio of crappy commercial TP to better home TP required... which apparently isn't something one can respond to overnight.
Git RCE affects recursive clones on case-insensitive filesystems with symlinks
I think everyone involved realized that LLM's are a dead end that has nothing to do with AGI, and we're no closer to AGI than we were before LLM's hit the scene. LLM's are nifty chatbots and have some other uses, but at a catastrophically high and unsustainable energy cost that means they will never be profitable.

Who needs a safety team to control that?
Not really, it's an insurance against rebellion - just as Bismarck intended with first social programs. If you give people some low levels of safety, but consistent, predictable safety, they will happily hand the billionaire class the real fruits of their labor.
The fridge addresses the issue of the post: oil separation; more so than spoilage.

I wish I had the discipline to keep a jar of peanut butter around long enough for it to spoil. :)

Growing up we put the peanut butter in the pantry without separation issues because my parents were either fine with or oblivious to the stabilizing additives in the mass produced peanut butter brands.

Now, when I look at the ingredients list I only want to see “peanuts”! (And maybe <1% salt)
You’re one step away from buying your own peanut grinder and measuring the exact amount of peanuts you need like they’re coffee beans.

Seeing a lot of similar stories here. We used to do a game of hide and seek on our massive dead end street. Wed use peoples bushes and cars to hide. I still remember the sound of crotchety old mr peabody chambering a round in his shotgun behind us one night. Pitch black. Never saw his face, just heard him let us know we were about to die if we didn't leave. Pretty sure he knew it was 2 little kids
I'm genuinely shocked that this Supreme Court permitted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to continue to exist. It challenges my world view, in a way that should give me some optimism.

It doesn't, but that's cynicism, not realism.
Companies perform illegal acts all the time, accountability is important. Can’t allow malicious people to get away with malicious behavior when mechanisms (regulatory and legal framework) to keep them in check exist.

We likely see what a just world looks like differently, and that’s fine. If someone has to pay you to be quiet when you leave, they have something material to hide worth pursing.

If you feel like sharing examples of the carve outs you mentioned, please do so I can communicate them to regulators for further triage and actioning.
We played as a kid and it was always fun but a bit annoying when players would argue about whether they had safely crossed the line when the other team tagged them, so in my 20s, I had the idea to solve that once and for all with 1,000 feet of yellow caution tape! I organized multiple games at Spotts Park in Houston, a city not known for having elevation changes, but Spotts has a bit of hilly landscape to mix things up, plus plenty of trees and other things to hide behind. It wasn't pitch black since we were in the middle of the city, but it was big enough that people could sneak to the other side undetected if they kept looking for routes with no enemy patrols. We actually used glow sticks as the flags and the only particular rule was that they had to be visible from multiple sides if you were several feet away. A lot of adults came out to play--at least a dozen per side but sometimes twice that many!
They quickly find out there is no Skynet to control, it’s all just simple alignment so it doesn’t spit out how to make bombs and slurs.

That's it. Shamans appear in disparate cultures over millenia upon millenia, helping people in astounding and near-inexplicable ways... And modern academia is just like, 'well, they believe in spirits and take drugs so they must be dumb - now off I go to work to pay my $400,000 mortgage, because that's sensible'.

We owe these traditions an astonishing unacknowledged debt, and the people telling us so are ferociously attacked.

The stereotypical lunch for a salaryman is ramen, which is just is carbs served in a broth just dripping of fat. Go to a popular teishoku lunch hole-in-the-wall and you'll see[0] a kara-age set (fried chicken and rice), chicken nanban (fried chicken with a fatty sauce, and rice), or maybe a katsudon (fried pork on rice). The veggies you get are some pickles and then a pile of dry shredded cabbage.

The stereotype of Japanese food abroad is it's all just grilled fish and sushi but there is a LOT of fried food involved.

I'll say US portions are absolutely out of control though, I think that's the biggest thing. When my Swedish friends went to visit the US they ended up just ordering one thing at every restaurant and sharing it, and the waiters would just laugh at them.

Starship Flight 4 begins Wet Dress Rehearsal campaign
There is a lot to be said for getting outside the four walls of a business (or org) to evaluate things. If it's not visible outside those walls (software buggy enough to lose customers) and doesn't introduce significant future risk to the business (competition can move faster than you) it's probably good enough. The real trick of course is predicting and communicating why you think one of these is true. It's an essential problem of commercial software dev.
Agreeing with circuit10's comments, I don't think many proponents of AI Safety are doing so through Pascal wagers. People differ a lot in their assessment of how likely certain risks are, but people I know working on AI Safety tend to place numbers between 1% to 30% of a global catastrophe associated with AI in the next 20 years [1]. I don't think this is negligible, nor analogous to your supermassive teapot example.

[1]: You might disagree with this assessment, but my point is that this is not where most people are arguing from.

Though JS is single-threaded, it only builds the render tree and is more than fast enough if you’re careful. RN has a separate UI thread for actual rendering, I/O is offloaded and extensions can use extra threads.

The largest bottleneck historically was the bridge between obj-c and js (now superseded by JSI), and not the speed of the engine itself.

The sphere does not need to be built or owned by a single entity. You too can own a single unit of the sphere for the low, low price of $2T. There can be different corporate entities owning different sections and monetizing it in all kinds of ways (e.g. the KY sector is ideal for powering asteroid mining in the Kuiper Belt)
American, yes.

Can’t speak for the whole country, but in the Midwest, rural community I grew up in, people had a “better safe than sorry” attitude, and would call police on mere suspicion that you were up to no good or that something was amiss.

Even told them afterward how wrong they were, they’d probably shrug and say it was still good for the police to check.
I find this kind of dismissive attitude annoying.

There are good arguments in the literature for why you might want to care about these risks [1, 2], and I think there's lots of room for reasonable disagreement about whether these are arguments are any good, but pretending the entire field of AI Safety is just delusional is just bad faith at this point. Especially when companies like OpenAI, Anthropic or GDM were explicitly created to build AGI, and have been talking about these risks since they were first founded.

Why not just cache the shader compilation output and save it do disk? Only stutters or object pops on the 1st run.
I've been disparaging Sam and OpenAI a fair amount in this thread, but I find it plausible that Sam didn't know.

I remember a job a few years ago where they sent me employment paperwork that was for a very different position than the one I was hired for. (I ended up signing it anyways after a few minor changes, because I liked it better than the paperwork I expected to see.)

If OpenAI is a "move fast and break things" sort of organization, I expect they're shuffling a lot of paperwork that Sam isn't co-signing on. I doubt Sam's attitude towards paperwork is fundamentally different from yours or mine.

If Sam didn't know, however, that doesn't exactly reflect well on OpenAI. As Jan put it: "Act with gravitas appropriate for what you're building." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40391412 IMO this incident should underscore Jan's point.

Accidentally silencing ex-employees is not what safety culture looks like at all. They've got to start hiring experts and reading books. It's a long slog ahead.

You can tell from France that French people just naturally like rioting.

(Americans have a highly mythologized idea of protesting based on misunderstanding the Civil Rights movement, so they think that 1. all protesters have strong morally correct political causes and 2. protesting does something good for those causes, and therefore think the French are noble workers fighting for their rights here. In fact they don't accomplish anything, the government just ignores them and are never voted out for this, and they're mostly advocating for wild conspiracy theories anyway.)

I have a distinct feeling this will have exactly the opposite PR effect by creating instant outrage clickbait and shareholder "victims"/"martyrs" the press may choose to celebrate with wall-to-wall coverage. Even discounting the drama cycles, that data exists that needs to be actively silenced because it's bad makes E-M look even more both evil and guilty. It makes me wonder if somewhere in E-M's management, legal, or PR departments there wasn't just incompetency but a desire to burn down what remained post-market cap implosion.

It’s not all or nothing. I’d be surprised if we don’t see autonomous quad copters in eastern Ukraine dropping bombs on soldiers by end of ‘25.

The parts and models are off the shelf now, it just needs the first person desperate enough to release a swarm of killcopters with cheap ML classifiers to make it a reality.

Curious how people will feel after the first autonomous swarm becomes widely known, because it will be replicated widely.

This is not what the IPCC reports say and so there is no reason to believe it.

Publishers seem to be doing their best to sabotage the intrinsic, reader- and library-beneficial features of ebooks and digital collections (such as unlimited readers anywhere on the internet at near-zero marginal cost, easy replication and distribution of books and collections, easy format shifting, etc.) while adding new, reader- and library-hostile features (invasive tracking, annoying restrictions, remote deletion, intrusive monetization and advertising, etc.) This aligns with existing business incentives, but not necessarily with the public interest.

This seems unlikely to change without changes to copyright and privacy law, along with effective enforcement.
But why Clojure, I am curious about the choice of the language?
