No, the fundamental issue with carbon credits is its economics. It would be much healthier to set a fixed price for carbon emissions. This price should be based on the externalities caused by the emissions. In the worst case, the price is the cost of extracting the CO2 from the atmosphere again. Such a fixed price, a carbon tax, would help the industry because it would make production costs more predictable, and it would be much more fair than carbon credits assigned to those firms that hire the best lobbyists. When fixing the emission quantity instead of its price, the price of carbon credits tend to either go to 0 (if there are too many) or infinity (if there are not enough) at the end of a credit period, which is total nonsense. However, for politicians, carbon credits are much more attractive because being able to distribute them gives them power.
Now that's a blast from the past in typing class. I remember hearing people complaining about this or rather using it as a horror story about the class. Of course by the point in the class you use these, you've passed the point of being expected to know where the keys are and it is pretty much an advanced part of the class.

Not sure if that's your reference or not???

I don’t drink soda anymore, but when I did, it was mostly Coca-Cola. After moving to the US, I decided to try Dr. Pepper. Couldn’t get past the first sip, because this thing tastes like cough medicine (the bad kind). I know taste is very subjective and individual, but it puzzles me how people can drink—and like—this thing.
When you said "everybody else goes into business to compete with him"

I was just trying to say this isn't true in a lot of cases due to a wide range of barriers to entry. This can be legal (patents or regulations), natural monopolies like telecom...etc.

You said competition leads to higher wages and I stated that hasn't been true in a lot of places and used fast food as an example. Your response, while true doesn't seem to be relevant to what I was saying.

I know you're a lot smarter than me, so we're probably just talking past each other :)
I would like to have full text search of websites I've been to, since I often don't remember enough exact details to re-find something. That doesn't need the AI model or screenshots though.

VALIDATE & PRESELL YOUR MVP

I have worked for venture-backed startups for 8+ years, validating B2B products & building sales teams from the ground up (ending with VP of Sales).

I specialize in helping technical founders validate B2B product ideas, pre-sell so you have paying customers at launch, and use that information to build compelling sales/marketing.

For your first call, once I learn more about your idea, I will build a plan with you on how to get your MVP off the ground (for free).

If you love my work, then we can figure something more officially after.

This large piece of text starts kinda convincing but then there are nuggets, like I guess glitches in the matrix, that kind-of ruin the show. for example:

"""There’s some assumptions that flow into the exact numbers, including that humans “think” at 100 tokens/minute (just a rough order of magnitude
estimate, e.g. consider your internal monologue)"""

also for example quoting AlphaGo's move 37 against Lee Sedol, but failing to quote the fact that AlphaGo's domination against even non-grandmasters was soon enough destroyed (see https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/man-b...)

This makes me think the whole thing is not really science. For example there is very little about energy costs and energy availability limits in there, just the amazing statement that the US only has to burn lots of its nat-gas (emitting lots of CO2 btw.) to get the power needed.

It’s a tool for human creators. The stories are written by writers we found from platforms like Wattpad, Kindle and Chapters. Then the art is made by artists using the AI Studio where they control the characters’ pose and facial expressions. That’s the production process.

So if this works, all creators get profit. It should enable more human creators to make money, since previously they couldn’t complete a finished product alone.
The point is that the existence of this code proves that remote access is possible, you just use any one of the many proven malware vectors to get the user to install a binary that does the same thing as this repo does but ships it over the network to your servers.
Why are you assuming that people want to stop understanding the AI models?

If anything, AI researchers are digging deeper into the models too

And people in physics are starting to use AI tools to model physical phenomena

I think that it’s a never ending task to understand all the black boxes. Definitely not possible by a single person. But also at some level you get to circular references. There is no fixed point in the universe, there is no point 0 or origin that we can find. Everything is relative to something else
Check out Dagger, their shared (or distributed if you squint) cache is sort of what you are getting at. It works based on containers (with hashes) and their inputs (also hashes of filesystems & config), and will only run steps that are not already computed. To get the "distributed" aspect, connect builders (local & cloud) to the same engine.

Most CI is already "distributed" in the sense that we typically have sub-jobs and multiple workers. We already use git, which is the ledger. Adding the permissionless layer would be too expensive and a distraction from getting real work done.

On the trust side, people don't want to rely on computers they don't control for their software supply chain. We already have enough to worry about with external dependencies we pull in.
Many streamers deprioritize web and other platforms... Really solid accessibility options that aren’t available on other platforms.

Which streamers/accessibility features are you referring to? I'd be very surprised to learn that streaming services like Netflix deprioritize the web experience & I can't find any reference to this online.

TV time is about no-fuss and unwinding.

I'm really trying to understand this sentiment. What do you find so fussy about the experience of desktop apps or web sites compared to apple tv/other set top box apps? I don't have much experience with different set top boxes. I just know I'd be pretty wound up if my set top box killed off my favorite app...

The ACOUP blog post only deals with the Middle Ages, and only on the European Middle Ages. (And a brief reference to the pre-Middle Age eras notes that the Romans were very much proponents of total war.)

The idea of total war didn't become a thing until much later on.

Troy, Assyria, Babylon, Macedonia, Carthage, and Mesopotamia would like to have a word with you on that point. Or they would, if they hadn't been completely wiped out. The Mongol Hordes were known for total warfare. It was their whole spiel: join us, or be completely destroyed.

The very concept of not targeting civilian populations during warfare is so recent that there are people still alive today who were around when the idea was first proposed.
And have those itemized breakdowns resulted in political pressure to change things?

If the goal was to train a large model to interact with the OS, this data would be extremely useful. But that can't possibly be their ultimate goal, because they've assured us that the data remains local.

> ALT-yen-mark to get a proper backslash

I believe this is an artifact of JIS_X0201, which is, to my knowledge, the first major Japanese 8-bit encoding and mostly 7-bit ASCII + Katakana (that character set you see in old Japanese video games) and some Japan-specific symbols filling the other half of the 8-bit space.

In it, byte 0x23 was changed from "\" to "¥".

The history is fascinating:

> The 1964 ISO draft reserved the positions 0x24 and 0x5c for first and second currency symbols to be assigned by each country, but it was considered too dangerous in international communications to use currency symbols that could be localized. The ISO committee had two options that to use a generic currency symbol (¤) or to give the dollar ($) and pound (£) signs permanent assignments. It was agreed that the dollar sign was assigned to position 0x24 and the pound sign was to position 0x23. The latter was not required in countries that did not need the pound sign. The JIS committee decided to put the yen sign (¥) in 0x5c (one of the national use positions).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JIS_X_0201

It's legacy lived on in Shift JIS which Window's extended and resulted in Japanese Windows computers having file paths like "C:¥Users¥MyName" and escape sequences like "¥n"

All this to say, my respect for Japanese devs who work with encoding is top-tier.
Sure, but is it because families opinions on that?
Can't you run the model in reverse? Brute force through various random parameters to the model to figure out which ones make a difference? Sure, it could have absurd dimensionality, but then it would be unlikely one could even grasp how to begin. After all, AlphaGo couldn't write a book for Humans about how to play go as well as it can.
100% agreed.

I'm the kind of reader that goes back and forth when reading a novel. I like to go back and re-read when a character was introduced, or simply go back a few pages.

The UI of the Kindle sucks for this. It excels at finding a specific sentence, of course, but not for the kind of flipping pages I enjoy doing.

Maybe it's because I took an actual typing class way back in the dark days of actual clackity-clack type writers, but I don't get the dislike of shift keys. Are these people that learned to type from only playing games or other non-formalized learning to type? Kudos for you learning regardless of the method, I'm just looking at why I don't have the same aversion to the shift keys. I even use the "proper" shift key meaning I use the left shift when using a right hand key and vice-versa.

Haha, I read through the beginning of that article which focused on hexagonal. While it was an over-complicated example, it didn't look too bad. But then skipped ahead to your quote. It definitely felt like satire to me! (Or at least I hope it was!).

And that's where a balance is needed. No one seems capable of defining what good architecture is. We have plenty of posts about spaghetti code, architecture astronauts, etc. But there's few comments with success stories, especially about fixing a spaghetti codebase and what that project looks years down the road. And I think that's because the problem is multi-faceted.

It's not "just" a technical problem. From a technical side, it's primarily lots of little patterns that as a whole add up to producing quality code. But there's also the social side, to hiring, reining in devs, enforcing the code patterns and quality, pushing back on business, etc. I can give lots of examples, but this would be a long post. All of these factors ultimately determine the fate of the project, the quality of the code, and whether it becomes spaghetti code or an over-engineered mess.
I agree, and I was not precise enough.

China obviously has policies that benefit exports. But I think they're going to far with this EV thing, and they might be realizing that they've gone too far with their policies... But too late. Their industry and internal politics are designed to reward this overproduction.

--------

The real issue is internal Chinese demand has dropped off a cliff since COVID-19 and Evergrande issues combined in a terrible storm the past few years. Chinas internal economy has never recovered so they only have Exports now to rely on.

But now they're hammering exports to the point of causing geopolitical issues.

China does not want to be so reliant on foreign markets either. They're a proud nation that wants to stand by itself. But they have nothing but exports holding them up right now.

> Tolerances don't guarantee any properties of the statistical distribution of parts.

That's incorrect. They, by definition, guarantee the maximum deviation from nominal. That is a property of the distribution. Zero "good" parts will be outside of the tolerance.

> It will start converging on something much higher than that.

Yes' and that's why tolerance is used, and manufacturer distributions are ignored. Nobody designs circuits around a distribution, which requires luck. You guarantee functionality by a tolerance, worst case, not a part distribution.
Yea, in theory, the way its stated, it would be a plus for the industry and Iceberg consolidation.

CalVer: Timely Project Versioning
The carbon credits based on counterfactuals (e.g. how many trees on this forest would have been cut down in some alternate universe) are true insanity. Impossible to verify by their very nature, and the schemes to estimate their truthfulness (measuring deforestation of neighboring forests) are easy to game. For instance the owner of a forest that wouldn't have been deforested anyway can claim he would have, then pay locals a smaller reward to ruin neighboring forests to "verify" the legitimacy of his claim.
Very true, I was writing as absolute value, not % (magnitude is where my day job is). My point still stands: it is complete nonsense that tolerance goes down.
I agree. How are these people graduating? What does that say about our universities?

I see your POV, but at the same time, shouldn't Canada ask itself why it doesn't have a Netflix equivalent? American media reaches far, but it's made in the US.

That is perhaps not a great example. My brother is a business analyst at Nike (has been for 15 years or more).

Granted, this is the kind of data he works with routinely, so it may be more difficult for other teams that do not.

I am not really well read on Russian literature (work in progress), but my impression is that they are all over the place in terms of complexity and accessibility. There's rube-goldberg contraptions of genius like Pale Fire, and at the same time short stories that are boiled down to the bare essence of a feeling like Chekov's In the cart. And Tolstoy can write a tome like War and Peace, while also writing Master & Man which approaches Hemingway in its brevity and efficiency.

Nabokov's stories and reputation are intimidating, but if you drop your anxiety over missing the point, he's still a very entertaining, passionate writer. I definitely missed a lot when I read Pale Fire, but I still enjoyed it a lot, even being naive and taking everything at face value.
