Yeah I was hoping to see some more details on that. I'm in favor of a ban like this, but as with every big move like this, there are negative consequences that come with it (everything has trade offs).

I am very curious how they framed the question to get such a high percentage of agreement. Surely this ban would result, at least in the short term, in higher prices for a lot of goods.
Yes, but who wants to pay more for them? It's very hard to beat single use plastic bags for environmental impact: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/grocery-bag-environmental...
I completely agree. I'm not philosophically-brained enough to know how to define "intelligence", but I do think that ChatGPT qualifies as at least "intelligence-lite".
You're looking for the Juicero: a real tangible (over)engineered product that certainly did a thing, but nowhere near what the manufacturers said it aimed to do.
Even the description is practically word for word! Some time before I was born there was a promotion whereby saying "two all beef patties... on a sesame seed bun" in under a certain time got you a free big Mac.
Have you smelled them? Do you wash them?
Would it even wiggle the eardrums relatively to the rest of your head? Intuitively it seems that would only happen if the wavelength is exactly right, but at that wavelength the frequency would be inaudible because the speed of light is so high.
Medical supplies also tend to have much better-defined disposal processes and ends-of-life than, say, plastic bags or coke bottles.

Weren't plastics and the recycling movement supposed to be good for the environment?
> The company is switching to an on-device approach that is more private and works on each phone independently.

To me, that means "Google doesn't want this data on their servers", which probably translates to "We can't keep this data from law enforcement, and that is not what users expect/want, and it is harming our users, so we won't store it at all".

We should be cheering this.
Straws are a negligible [0] part of plastic waste, and the idea they aren't stems from research by a 9-year-old child [1].

We don't have to replace all single-use plastic, just those that matter.

Yep, asking people vague questions about the boogieman du jour is a questionable excercise at best.

If a competing research team had gone out and done a survey with the question rephrased as, "Do you want a global ban on medical syringes and bottled water?"

You might find out, amazingly, 92% of people strongly support single-use plastics!
This is a common misconception. Modern robots are very limited in their capabilities, out of necessity. Mars is a great example. Perseverance has the most capable drill of any rover, and it can drill up to 2.4 inches deep. [1] And these drills are used extremely sparingly because they tend to break rapidly, like any sort of moving part. Perseverance's top theoretic speed is around 0.07mph, and it's a speed demon compared to prior rovers. [2] Same reasons - the more you move the more things break, and the nearest repair shop is pretty far away. The first humans on Mars will almost certainly learn vastly more in a week than we've learned in 60+ years of probes and rovers!

Beyond this though (and also the survival aspect as others have hit on), I'd simply mention the inspirational aspect. Many who lived through the Moon landings (as well as those who did not) see this as humanity's greatest achievement. And I think this sort of stuff helps to create a better future for a people. When asked what they want to be when they grow up, the most popular choice for American children today is a vlogger/YouTuber, the least popular is astronaut [3]. In China, the answers are completely reversed. Who's going to have the better generational outcome in 30 years?

But of course this isn't just for children. So many people just seem completely devoid of hope and optimism for the future. And that's completely understandable the way things have been going for many decades now. But show literally anybody this video of the Falcon Heavy landing [4] and the first question you will always get is, "Is that real?" People just can't even believe what we're achieving, and I think doing even more of this, on a much larger scale, and making it all the more visible would really improve so many lives, and likely the entire country itself. Just read the comments to that video, to see how it impacts people, and those are friggin YouTube comments!

MyFirst New Release: Kids Round-Face Smartwatch
Designed for kids, created for parents, from parents! myFirst was founded by a team of super daddies who wanted to bridge the gap between technology and good old fashioned toys!

As a parent themselves, the myFirst founding fathers saw the need for their kids to engage more with new and advanced technology as the world developed. The lack of supply in the market that would guarantee the safe use of technology in kids greatly inspired the team to come up with creative and innovative designs.

I don't know the exact encoding and decoding mechanism that ChatGPT 4o has, but I'm pretty sure all the basic facts and rules is already encoded by the models. And you conveniently added the rules that encode the puzzle itself.
'in 2011' is weirdly recent though isn't it, not even to mention specific? Was there some particular advancement in Prolog based NLP around then that those of us with only a basic introduction to it (and not using it in an NLP course) wouldn't be aware of how capable it is in that regard?

Because I agree with you that sounds ridiculous to me, but also my level of Prolog is like

parent(a, b).
parent(c, b).
couple(x, y) :-
parent(x, z),
parent(y, z).

and dimly recalling what a 'cut' is. (I'm exaggerating a bit but I've barely used it since university, not even 100% sure about that syntax)

So I'm prepared to believe the state of the art for ChatGPT-like thing done in Prolog is a lot more impressive than I might have expected if someone asked me yesterday.
Great graphic on the environmental impacts of different kinds of grocery bags: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/grocery-bag-environmental...

In short, single use plastic bags are very hard to beat.
Yea, taking 5 seconds to rinse the bag out in the sink is _such_ an inconvenience. Life is rough.

I stopped buying meat for environmental / water usage reasons a while back, so no, this isn't an issue for me anymore. Guess I'm just a stupid hippie.
I had the same thought, the quality of writing from the LLMs themselves is a lot better than what's written here.
There isn’t one. Some things are not measurable by this standard and the stats relatively meaningless. 3000 people from a whole continent? Cmon
It appears the government has no clear strategy and lacks the famous "the day after" plan.

But from IDF side, it took two weeks to take over the whole border with Egypt. Rafah is empty and by the end of the month, it will be Israeli.
So yes, they spent months not doing anything while the government was trying to secure hostage release and Biden was screaming do not touch Rafah.

But in general what strategy do you need? Take over, destroy the military infra and prevent smuggling. That's all that is needed.
Gaza is thousand years back, it will never recover. It is not a threat anymore in any meaningful way.
By that logic, Theranos wasn't a scam either. The hardware existed and it delivered a result. It didn't do what was claimed however and the results were routinely faked.

It was claimed that the R1 would navigate an app like a person would. That it wouldn't matter if the UI changed because the AI would figure it out the same way a person would. It follows a script and breaks when the UI changes.

It was claimed that it would be faster than ChatGPT. The majority of it is a ChatGPT wrapper.

A product exists, sure, but I'd be surprised if anyone feels it met expectations.
If we can relatively easily reduce the single-plastic waste of those 10%, why not start there (while in parallel thinking about alternatives for product wrappers)?

There are also so many other product container types than plastic: Glass, metal cans (ok, these are often plastic-coated and I don't know how recycling for these works, but it seems to be possible), paper... It doesn't work for everything, but it does for many things – assuming the right incentives are in place.
Juicero might be an example, though I'm not sure if they made any specific large claim that was totally false, unlike in this case. Perhaps if explicitly Juicero claimed that some special magic was going on during the squeezing process, but I don't think they did
You don't think they also did mass layoffs together to not suppress wages?

Don't them smell? If you wash them by hand you end up using more resources than if you had disposable. If you put them in a dishwasher then, I guess that would work, but seems like a lot of effort for takeout.

> I'm more concerned about trash in the rivers/oceans, and microplastics

Are you dumping things in the street? I suspect you are not. River/Ocean trash is a huge problem, and is not being caused in the US or Canada.
Its not just that the LLM fails, its the kind of failures it makes that illustrate how far what the LLM does is from human thinking. Like the problem someone posted where you have a boat and a goat and you want to cross the river, and the LLM's solution is cross the river with the goat, come back with an empty boat, and then cross again with an empty boat.
A human might miss the insight that Alice's brother has one more sister than Alice, namely Alice herself. A human would never think the number of sisters her brother has depends on the number of brothers she has. Not if it has any clue at all what "sister" and "brother" mean.
Go to the Wikipedia pages of these events and click on "Talk" at the top or see the history of those pages. The amount of people fighting over this information war is mindblowing.

RunsOn is the only on-premise solution of the bunch, so it is single tenant, and as such it cannot easily have pools of 10s of machines on standby to start within 10s. So on queue time I’m comparing Ubicloud against the other SaaS providers, and anything higher than 20s is not especially great in that case. Plus you have high variance, which I personally consider an issue.

Once this improves I’ll be sure to update it.

Their paper says that they trained it on the Lakh MIDI dataset, and they have a section on potential copyright issues as a result.

Assuming you don't care for legal issues, theoretically you could do:

Designing a test for which one cannot possibly prepare is a problem that’s bedeviled test makers for a long time. The team behind the SAT threw up their hands and said it no longer stood for “scholastic aptitude test” but just… nothing.

www.shadertoy.com would like a word.
The article is talking in aggregate over a workers lifetime.
Yeah, as a distiller of collective knowledge as captured over the first 30 years of commercial internet, it does exactly what it should. That's not always "right" but it still provides huge value even if all it does is practically filter and distill, leaving you to nitpick or correct.

It doesn't have to be "magic" to displace a lot of things people spend time on every day.
Again it's all startup talk. I never mentioned orders of magnitude, I mentioned complexity. You keep focusing on what already uses electricity, ignoring the fact that 80% of the energy we use is NOT electricity.

And you still haven't answered my question: how do you power a big merchant boat with electricity? Do you realize it doesn't work with batteries, or not? And do you realize that the merchant boats ARE globalization? We don't have a technical solution for that, not even as a proof of concept. And most certainly not with renewables.
Humane brooch(mentioned by author), Alexa, Siri, whatever, also fails on all these points, or doesn’t offer the respective functionality. Why is the author giving them a free pass?

What is wrong with the tooling using playwright scripts for services that don’t provide an api? What does the alternative offer? What is this magic ai automation the author thinks exist supposed to use?

This whole article is just singling out one interface from many, and doesn’t understand the very basic backend implementations these agents, including ChatGPT plugins, Siri, Alexa, etc, use.

I’m flagging this post because it is unjust.
Sounds like you just described exactly what's wrong with SPACs
I mean from a justice standpoint, squatting is wrong

But from a societal standpoint, the laws being this way have a bunch of positive externalities

1. It provides shelter to the homeless, with all the advantages we know that has

2. It provides an incentive to not leave property vacant. Very important in a country with high vacancy rates 1nd a hiusing crisis.

Note also that this is done at the expense of investors. Whose role in a capitalist society is to take on risk.

So while it is an injustice, i can definitely understand why it is this way.
I think big companies (with recruiters) no, they just want to hire people and keep their jobs. At smaller companies, where non-recruiters are screening resumes, I think yes, but only if it's extreme (like 2+ jobs per year for several years).
Perhaps this is just personal experience, but the worst jobs I've ever had also paid the worst. The places that are badly managed either don't know or can't afford market rates, so they try and hire cheap labor. Think body shops, game dev, government positions, etc.

By contrast, a place that has expensive employees is going to see their time as more valuable, so there's a direct monetary incentive not to waste it and the cash flow exists to do things. Doesn't always work, but it dramatically improves the odds.
The actual question was [0]:

> The United Nations agreed in 2022 to develop a global treaty to end plastic pollution. How important or unimportant do you believe it is to have global rules to…

> Ban unnecessary single-use plastic products, e.g., shopping bags, cutlery, cups & plates?

Can't tell if the guy, or the background, or both are AI generated.
Employees are also giving up compensation for lower risk and fewer unknowns.

A risk adverse person, or even rational one, may avoid still avoid positive EV gambles.
This does not match my experience where the average retention duration for employees across all the companies I've worked for or have known has bee around 2.5 to 3 years.
I feel like there are two levels of single use plastics. Single use plastic for individual use like food preservation seems like a decent carve out. Though, I suppose any carve out would be abused. Something like "can't ship with single use plastic as a packaging utility"
I bring a bookbag to stores, but if I forget one I buy a "reuseable" bag and then get rid of it. If you need a bag you need a bag.

Before plastic, stores had paper bags. Some stores offer these now but many don't. I find it surprising. They're certainly less useful than plastic bags but they're plenty useful. you can walk with 2-3 in your arms, they hold a good amount of things, and they're recyclable. And then if you need one with handles you can get one of the paid bags stores have.
> Don't understand this lefty obstinance against preparing for the unexpected when the negative outcome is the death of humanity. Is it because you don't like Elon?

I agreed with you right up until this garbage.
> The analysis found that, as of November 24, the New York Times had described Israeli deaths as a “massacre” on 53 occasions and those of Palestinians just once. The ratio for the use of “slaughter” was 22 to 1, even as the documented number of Palestinians killed climbed to around 15,000.

You could copy this paragraph verbatim into Manufacturing Consent and it would fit in perfectly.
Many of these you can move if you wanted. For instance, git looks in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
you can burn used foil for energy, possibly more easily than you can burn used plastic wrap—high-quality plastic wrap is polyvinylidene chloride, and burning it produces hydrochloric acid, which is a hazardous waste product you have to properly scrub from your exhaust. possibly you have to deal with inferior polyethylene plastic wrap, which is much worse at blocking oxygen, but is easy to burn safely

you can recycle used foil, it's just generally not high enough value to be worthwhile. organic contaminants burn off in the crucible

aluminum-air batteries are one of the most intuitively appealing ways to burn used foil for energy, but they are not yet in wide use

it's possible there are externalities not adequately captured by the retail price, such as toxic emissions from the manufacturing processes, or occupational illnesses. but it seems unlikely that those are hundreds of times the retail price
Thanks for the pretty good ideas. What already works is also the combination CTRL+F (forward) and CTRL+B(backward) which is provided by the underlying library (tview) and pretty standard vim keymap for that action.

But yeah keymaps should become configurable eventually.
Scam generally implies some form of deception, and I think selling a product that claims to have proprietary AI and not just wrap ChatGPT when it does not have proprietary AI and in fact wraps ChatGPT certainly qualifies as deceptive.

> No, it's merely incredibly difficult.

It's difficult, but I don't think it is _that_ difficult. Ecologies, like any living systems, can self-heal and regenerate. There are practices that allows us to tap into that regenerative power as societies. They may not happen fast relative to our individual human lifespan, but 50 years is more than enough time to restore wastelands or reverse desertification.

I don't have a good answer to how sustain an economy based upon mining, refining, and manufacturing things out of mineral resources. Many of us have gotten used to modern conveniences (at its own cost related to mental and emotional health, and social cohesiveness). I think what most people balk on are on the perception of having to go back to barely surviving off the land, or having to alter lifestyle. Lifestyle may have to change, but the same regenerative power of ecologies also gives us significantly more resiliency.
I also don’t think that most white boarding interviews actually use that kind of question.
