Perhaps in 2010 this would have been sufficient. Unfortunately decarbonization alone is no longer enough to stabilize at 2 degrees of warming. For a stable climate massive decarbonization and removal is needed.

> Like I get that people expect content online to be free and the alternative sources of information are freely available but its just so tragic.

There is more to it than wanting free stuff. At least for some of us.

I have never subscribed to newspapers. If I wanted one, I would go to the convenience store or find a newspaper box. Why? Newspapers sold subscriber lists. I realized early on that online news sites would do the same, only they would have far more valuable data: they would know what interested me from what I read. So instead of being the target of advertising, I would be the target of targeted advertising.

(It also doesn't make sense from a convenience perspective. Newspaper subscriptions offered convenience through home delivery. News sites offer the, admittedly minor, inconvenience of managing accounts.)
Actually, higher speed makes it easier to pull up. You have more lift and more control authority. As long as you don't exceed the aircraft's structural limits, airspeed is your friend.

It's when you are low and slow and try to pull up with the elevator that you may stall the aircraft. You need to push the throttle to gain some airspeed.
Nontemporal writes are substantially slower, e.g. with avx512 you can do 1 64 byte nontemporal write every 5 or so clock cycles. That puts you at >= 640 cycles for 8 KiB.

> Whether or not being an ass is unethical I'll leave to the philosophers.
Agreed, we have to find a way to do both. It's unlikely we will prevail. As is, the path we're on is about 4 million tons per year of removals by 2030. A new model from Rocky Mountain Institute suggests we need to be at more like 285 million tons annually of removals by 2030 to be on track. It's time to invest in scaling carbon removal.
Programming itself is the art of abstracting. Functions are by definition abstractions over a set of instructions. The question is which domain is used for the abstractions as you add more and more functions. When there are bad abstractions, it just means the abstraction model used does not map properly to the problem domain.

The only real downside is the overhead in learning the abstractions as they can be arbitrary and would require understanding it like a machine with all it parts and what they each do. This is where functional programming offers a universal way to abstract any computation, but that is besides the point.

This is somewhat true. It isn't as though parents don't understand and remember the pain completely though. It's not amnesia. There is also a very tribal mentality (from what I've seen) in mothers. It's quite a beautiful thing where it is at the same time an exclusive community (you can only be a part of it if you have given birth), at the same time everyone who is a mother is automatically welcomed.
If batteries were literally free today, they still wouldn't be good enough due to the cost in support electronics required to put them on the grid (which is currently about price parity with batteries per watt).

EDIT: and those electronics also degrade - a lifespan of 20 years would be reasonable at scale.
"Most authors know that things like this help their reach and ultimately make people more likely to buy their books in the long run."

This is a huge, HUGE false belief amongst the technocrats who think they are on the side of the creators. I put this in the same bucket as the 'it democratizes creativity' fallacy.

It might have been true right up until every techbro decided it was totally fine to scrape every bit of creativity off the web – legally and illegally – and repackage it into an AI model.

The publishers are bad, agreed, but at least there's a framework for artists to make a penny for every buck. Today it's open season on every author, illustrator, photographer, and writer.
Therefore you have to go be in those user interviews

Did you go be in those user interviews?
Yes, exactly. Imagine spending your life developing something so brilliant and wonderful, so well-loved that even your descendants can benefit, and then have some technocrat decide he was going to destroy that with a single keystroke.
Things are changing now, pretty fast. The architecture that is optimal for humans is not the same architecture that is optimal for AI. AI wants shallow monoliths built around function composition using a library of helper modules and simple services with dependency injection.
So it's text expansion. Maybe you should just call it that? Also I 100% thought it was a keylogger with some relation to a sex act in the UK, which is why I clicked in the first place. Maybe not a great name for something as innocuous and not entirely erotic like text expansion.
That's kind of true, but it isn't the right comparison. The gear hub isn't just a replacement for the derailleur, but also all your gears, and has a simpler axle. The IGH is still a bit more expensive (~$200 vs $80 for a not completely bottom of the line derailleur based system), but it also requires a lot less maintenance to keep working well.
That ("Invasion of the Space Invaders", 1982) is a fun book, and yes, it does genuinely feature tips for Space Invaders, Pac Man, Donkey Kong, and other games of the period, but it is also a slice-of-life of London culture in the early 1980s.
Awesome, always nice to see my mathematical intuition still works. Also an interesting piece of mathematics.

Most problems are not well-addressed by shallow monoliths made of glue code. It's irrelevant what "AI wants", just as it's irrelevant what blockchain "wants".

Hi. How come Hightouch requires a LinkedIn URL, but does not require a resume/CV, in order to submit a job application?

Shouldn't that be reversed (ie - social media profiles are optional)?

Also, do you consider that social media profile URLs may be included within a resume? If so, why create additional busy work?
Inverting the Z axis purely as a UI quirk/implementation detail is one thing, but more interesting would be to embrace it as a means of representing the time scale of the universe - as you zoom into the earth, you zoom into the deeply redshifted ancient data, which conveniently is from a smaller universe so projecting it onto a smaller shell of the sphere makes sense. Until you reach the core, which is a picture of the cosmic background radiation.
Why not? You don't have to use one if you prefer to stay within the walls so why don't you want others who dare to venture outside of them to have the opportunity to do so?

You are wrong in the sense time dilation happen in different observer … it is nothing to do with one object. Your time remained as your length to you.

Light speed is the limit. You cannot exceed it and you reach it time stop to you … but still you move on in the speed of light.

Another issue you have thought of is the real space “dilution” or that bloody constant Einstein mistake originally. The so called dark energy describe it. We are not sure as it depends upon the model. But it is very unlikely you can reach everywhere you like unless the universe loop around itself (so like on a Sphere you can cover the whole surface of the sphere if you travel with unlimited time … except it expand as we think it is and you cannot).

One possibility though is the universe contract. Then no need to travel la. The whole universe collapse on you.

What happen when we reach the point our laws of physics as we know it no longer held … no human knows. May be …

Let there be light. As God in bible does not make this world out of nothing it seems. Or if you not God person then the empty vacuum field has possible enough to produce the universe (and destroyed it in 10^-32 second.

Anyway all amazing stuff. Just as a hacker really really want an emulator and look around this human artifice that is our gift to the universe. (Just hope the tv serial of hitter in Germany olpymic does not hurt our images).

I actually don't see the legal distinction here. A browser with an ad blocker is also:

1. Asking for a copy of your content

2. Manipulating the content

3. Redistributing the content to the end-user who requested it

Ditto for the LLM that has been asked by the end user to fetch your content and show it to them (possibly with a manipulation step e.g. summarization).

I don't think there's a legal, copyright distinction between doing that on a server vs doing that on a local machine. And, for example, if there were a difference: using a browser on a remote desktop would be illegal, or using curl on a machine you were SSHed into would be illegal. Also, an LLM running locally on your machine (doing the exact same thing) would be legal!

I understand that it's inconvenient and difficult to monetize content when an LLM is summarizing it, and hard to upsell other pages on a website to users when they aren't coming to your website and are instead accessing it through an LLM. But legally I think there's not an obvious distinction on copyright grounds, and if there were (other than a very fine-grained ban on specifically LLMs accessing websites, without any general principle behind it), it would catch up a lot of legitimate behavior in the dragnet.

I'd also point out that in the U.S., search engines have passed the "Fair Use" test of exemption from copyright — I think it would be very hard to make a distinction between what a search engine is doing (which is on a server!) and what an LLM is doing based on trying to say copyright distinguishes between server vs client architectures.
If in a dry climate, a derailleur transmission can last a long time and will be cheap to maintain. But once a person starts replacing quality components with like quality, especially in a wet climate, a derailleur transmission can be expensive over 10 years.

The set of my experience is { Shimano: [ $various_derailleurs, Nexus 3, Nexus 7, Alfine 11 ] , Rohloff: [14 speed], Other: [rear-hub e-bike] }

$various_derailleurs -- fussy to maintain, cheap to replace but costly over 10 years

Nexus 3 -- rubbish

Nexus 7 -- not bad for modest bicycling

Alfine 11 -- zero maintenance, excellent performance, cheaper over 10 years than $various_derailleurs

Rohloff -- low maintenance, expensive, built to last, and 14 speeds! But heavy and 10% efficiency loss.

e-bike -- reliable, fast and fun, but zero exercise and in the range of a Rohloff for cost

In short, I think an e-bike in 2024 is brilliant for single-mode commuting. The technology is reliable and performant... but heavy.

An Alfine 11 or Rohloff is bliss for multi-modal commuting (assuming 16" or 20" wheels).
There's a lot of range in internally-geared hubs though, from the crazy end with the $1500 Rohloff 14sp to the $80 Sturmey-Archer 3sp. I commute on a Shimano Alfine 11sp that's ~$200 which isn't exactly "a tenner" but if you add up the price of a derailleur, cassette, chainrings, etc. I don't think it's much different?
i’d guess that a very very very large majority of people don’t know or care what RCS is. i certainly don’t. i can’t even remember the last time i used an sms or mms. most likely people use whatsapp or telegram or signal or whatever if they’re not using imessage
I think that is the whole trick - they look like they are all in parallel on four wires, but really two of the wires are daisy chained through each device (like serial LEDs). In this configuration you can do the light tricks without knowing the order, but you can also enumerate the order. I have seen addressing based on hop counting, or by appending your ID to "who are you" message.

Eg: Host sends "who are you" first device appends an ID number and then propagates the message forward in the chain. Each device does the same, until the last device in the chain (which detects electrically or via a timeout that there are no more devices) decides to loop the message back to the host.

I don’t think you’re following my point (I probably explained it poorly).

People voluntarily agreed to follow the robots.txt model when they could have ignore it. To this day, a plurality of people seem to support that standard.

That doesn’t keep content from being discoverable or accessible. All sorts of ways to find web sites outside of sites that use crawlers — directories, web rings, social media, etc.

There could have been an ads.txt model, but people probably would have likely ignored it. Your response would seem to be the norm for defending ad blockers — you somehow have a right to the content and if they can’t force you to view their ad, that’s on them.

Why do people get to dictate who accesses a page but not how it’s accessed? That binary seems completely arbitrary.
Everything is a web app these days because many developers are incompetent and don’t know how to do anything else.

I have read 4/5 of their books. and 4 editions of the Big Nerd Ranch Android Development, 2 of the Big Nerd Ranch iOS Programming. I found those books exemplary with their quality and depth of the topics with which they taught. I would put the technical guides of similar quality to O’Reilly, and I want to say better than Pakt and I like Pakt.

I am sad to see this go. I read the first one of their books when I was less than a year in the industry.
An internal transmission hub replaces a hub, cassette, and derailleur and starts at less than $100 for the whole kit.

A derailleur can cost $10, but it won’t be nearly as durable. Buying a high quality one is gonna cost in the same neighborhood as $100.
Sure, but you could say the same for white t shirts.

Anecdotally, my wife's Magnum Premium 2 has held up well for 4 years of all weather use in west coast Canada. This includes pulling a cargo trailer or kids trailer year round - salty and sandy slushy snow, pouring rain, sun...

I’ve been using FSD for the last 6 weeks. Paid for the monthly subscription, and running v12.3.6

It’s almost killed me once, when it was about to blow through a red light at ~70mph, while a car was about to turn left in front of me. There was no indication that it was going to stop, so I slammed on the brakes.

Then, after about three weeks, it stopped tracking the lanes properly, and would drive straddling the lane divider. I’d repeatedly enable it when I was in the far left lane of a 4 lane road, and watch as it would promptly begin driving about two feet into the right lane. Disable, and reenabled and it would repeat this engineering feat. It continued for 2 days. Yesterday it was just driving extremely right justified. If there were any cyclists in the bike lane, my mirrors would be intruding into their space.

Of course I bought the FSD function as I knew that I would be attentive and provide feedback, kind of a service to humanity, as this feature is far from prime time, and isn’t safe. I may cancel the service as I’m concerned that my 17 year old new driver will enable it, and not be as attentive.

How is using perplexity any more so making a copy than your browser is making a copy? Unless you are distributing your website on thumb drives or floppy disks all distribution is achieved by making a copy. That's how networks work.

Your logic would also imply that viewing a website through a VPN not operated by yourself would require the VPN operator to have a redistribution license for all the content on the website which is not the case.

How do you think google is able to scrape whatever they like and redistribute summaries of the pages they have visited without consulting everyone who has ever made a website for a redistribution license.

That being said, Copyright is not enforced or interpreted consistently. It seems that individual cases can be decided based on what people ate for lunch on the day of the case, who the litigants are, and maybe the alignment of the planets.
