> I think you could find trans people themselves who might to some extent agree with that - I've more than once heard of people who knew themselves to be deeply miserable before ever hearing about transness, then discovering it, finding it "clicked", transitioning, and becoming much happier as a result. Does that qualify as "social influence"? They might not have transitioned if they hadn't known it was a possibility.

I don't think that is what is meant with the statement, but rather, that they mean the people are identifying as trans due to their peers, rather than actually being dysphoric.

As an anecdote, for me that's almost what happened, but I was just miserable for other reasons (depression). In todays climate of affirmation being seemingly the only socially acceptable choice, I likely would've started transitioning and become even more miserable.

This is one of the reasons why I REALLY dislike the current paradigm of affirmation first, rather than actually checking whether the problems are caused by dysphoria or something else.
American states have generally less autonomy than Canadian provinces do. Federalism is common worldwide, it's far from an American thing. EU countries are _vastly_ more independent than American states, and when you throw in the cultural differences, it grows hugely again.
> Apparently, ARM wants to push through a new licensing model to generate more revenue. The main aim is to base license costs on the price of the device rather than the processor. According to Qualcomm, this involves a one-off payment of several hundred million US dollars plus significantly higher license fees on an ongoing basis.

Interesting. That's what Qualcomm itself does, right?
It is Titian under the hood. And it's absolutely crap.

Also fun fact, Titan's image generator will refuse any prompt that references Bezos because it "violates content policy"

Very nice! I'm hoping something similar comes for wargames - the ones with hex maps and bazillions of cardboard counters. These games in modern incarnations tend to suffer from complexity and physical fiddliness, and AR/VR could help with both.
> why [Dutch Roll] wasn't bigger news

I think the name is a serious problem. Something like “uncontrolled aircraft orientation” is more descriptive. “Dutch Roll” brings to mind thoughts of “is it better than Swiss Cake Roll?” and “is this news-spam for Hostess brand emerging from bankruptcy?”
With "Perfectly ok" I think the commenter meant that the German Politics contradicts itself with its decisions, e.g. We want to become “greener” aka climate neutral in the long term and at the same time we are reopening coal-fired power plants because we need the energy in the short term.
You mentioned pornography as well. And when people use "offensive" in an absolute sense, that often is synonymous with "what the HR department wouldn't want you looking at on a work computer", i.e. NSFW.
That is indeed a valid definition one could create for this word which does not exist in modern language.
IMO the relevant benchmark for now is a mixed stream of requests with 50 (20%), 500 (50%), 2000 (10%) and 50k (20%) input tokens, ignore EOS and decode until you get around 300 output tokens.
Do I get it wright - the reason to implement a custom protocol above udp instead of using tcp was the benefit to have a certain amount of packets that didn’t need to be acknowledged?
> The foolproof solution (if such a thing could ever exist) - is to not have a healthcare system that is built for-profit.

Well we 100% agree here. The system you describe sounds totally reasonable to me as long as the government is managing things reasonably.

I'd extend this problem to effectively every industry too. Profit is such a corrupting factor in any business and really ruins most things. Free markets, capitalism, whatever I get all of that but creating incentives entirely around winning a zero sum game is terrible for everyone in the long run.
depends, in terms of territory us is big, but you don't randomly travel east to west coast just like you don't randomly travel portugal to estonia. Most car trips in both us and eu are pretty small and can easily fit current ev range for most ppl/cars
Eek… I’d never want to fly a plane that’s beneath me. I’d prefer it to be at the same altitude.
A third option would be to use it as animal feed. Then the carbon ends up in sewage (from humans eating the animals) and fertilizer (animal waste), but we were going to end up with those anyway. Tho depending on the specific animals, there may also be methane involved.

While true, this was a pretty different situation in that it was 1959 (engineering standards have changed a lot in the last 65 years), and the dutch rolls were being performed intentionally for demonstration purposes.

> Isn’t it better to educate people about information and fallacies rather than protecting them from these for life.

The story itself is about someone attempting to educate their boss, and their boss subsequently getting fooled by it anyway — and the harm came to the one trying to do the educating, not the one who believed in the tiger.

I'm not sure it's even possible to fully remove this problem, even if we can minimise it — humans aren't able to access the ground truth of reality just by thinking carefully, we rely on others around us.

(For an extra twist: what if [the fear of misaligned AI] is itself the tiger?)
Well, 1978 was a long time ago and environmental concerns weren't a big thing back then. RWE had all rights to do what they did, even the Green party acknowledged that when the Hambach Forest situation escalated.

About the Tesla factory thing, those protests are mostly done by a handful of environmental activists and - most importantly - NIMBYs from the surrounding area.
I'm not sure if they're increasingly tiny minority but they are becoming more vocal.
South Korea was building until their corruptions scandals blew up the industry. They haven't been able to sign a single export agreement since. [1]

China has for every single passing year been reducing their nuclear targets in favor of renewables. They keep a toe in the nuclear business but it is not core to their energy strategy anymore. [2]

We can have a look at all reactors we have tried to construct in the past 20 years in the west. The French examples are the pretty picture.

Finished:

- Olkiluoto 3: Took 20 years.

- Flamanville 3: Incredible cost blow-out and delays.

- Vogtle: Laughably delayed and expensive.

Under construction:

- Hinkley Point C: Laughably delayed and expensive.

Cancelled after investment decision:

- Virgil C. Summer: The ratepayers are going to pay for this chaotic project for decades to come.

- Hanhikivi: Was apparently hard to certify a Russian reactor for western standards.

Cancelled before investment decision:

- NuScale: In the end it cost more than Vogtle in $/kW.

Planning limbo because no one can agree on the costs:

- Wylfa-Newydd

- Sizewell C

- Oldbury B

- Bradwell B

- Moorside

Early stage planning:

- 6 new EPR2s by EDF in France: Continuously getting more expensive.

Given this horrific outcome taking statistics from the 70s and saying and saying it has any relevance to the costs and timelines of nuclear power construction in modern advanced economies is just sticking your head in the sand.

Please compare Germany and South Korea then. South Korea, the modern poster child for nuclear power held up as the paragon to emulate. Stuck at 450 gCO2/kWh which is worse than even Germany.

21st century nuclear power does not deliver decarbonization. Renewables do.

Apple certainly looks at it that way, but is not legally entitled to collect a royalty simply for making apps that run on its operating system. Instead, they have created a technical mechanism to do so.

The EU and Japan have decided that's unfair.
> - Constructive solid geometry. Create a cylinder. Create a thread form. Extrude the thread form along a spiral. Subtract that from the cylinder to get a screw. Chamfer the end. Autodesk Inventor has been able to do that since about 2014, which is what you get for the big bucks. There's some open source code, but historically it hasn't handled the hard cases well. This matters when the next step is cutting the part out of metal.

In freecad I didn't encounter any issue doing just that. Of course we are 10y later, so maybe things have improved.

I made quite elaborate custom threads for 3D printing this way.
To be clear, I 100% agree regulation and more commonsensical legislation is fundamental to stop and punish bad players like Elsevier. I just find it gross that consolidated players invariably go their way.

Most of Asimov's robot books were about how the laws were broken, not how they were upheld. Reading between the lines, you get the idea that such laws would be ineffectual in practice, and thus the writing satirical to an extent.
I totally get that kind of imagination play among friends. But I had someone in a friend group who used to want to play out "thought experiments" but really just wanted to take it too far. Started off innocent with fantasy and sci-fi themes. It was needed for Dungeons and Dragons world building.

But he delighted the most in gaming out the logistics of repeating the Holocaust in our country today. Or a society where women could not legally refuse sex. Or all illegal immigrants became slaves. It was super creepy and we "censored" him all the time by saying "bro, what the fuck?" Which is really what he wanted, to get a rise out of people. We eventually stopped hanging out with him.

As your friend, I absolutely am not going to game out your rape fantasies.
Well thank you for assuming my friend is smart, not stupid.

200 years ago you could predict that your life would be about exactly the same as your parents' life so you had a lot of shared experience which facilitated culture transfer from one generation to the next. These days our lives are very different from our parents' life so it is difficult to share a perspective on common experiences and to transfer that wisdom. This implies there is a self-limiting factor to accelerationism.

My own prediction for AGI is a millennia at least. ;-)
And yet standards of living in Europe are comparable to those in the US, and preferable at the median. Our attention is captured by speculative valuations of unicorns, and yet people actually need real stuff made, drugs developed and made etc. Europe does perfectly well in many non winner takes all sectors where English language and network effects are less relevant.
The political instability created by the US neoliberal experiment is something I hope we can avoid over here too.

"You can see the future first in San Francisco"

If governments were serious about climate change they would invest heavier in public transport, not greener cars (which are only greener to drive, but definitely not manufacture).
Standby PCU sounds like a control system. Was that a cause or effect of the event?
It's interesting to see the dynamic of the downward spiral (no pun intended) "pile on" media cascade mechanic in action, through your comment.

What I mean is, you are assuming now (you probably wouldn't have a year ago) that this Dutch Roll incident was caused by the plane being Boeing. So, why would anyone even buy a Boeing at this point?

But what indication is there of that this Dutch Roll incident was caused by the plane being Boeing? As far as I can tell, Dutch Roll is a phenomena whose causes aren't fully understood, that rarely, but occasionally, happens to planes, not just to Boeing planes.

But now that we are collectively bought-in on a Boeing hate-fest (and they certainly seem to have brought it on themselves, no doubt!), we just knee-jerk apply the cause to any issue seen as being explained by the aircraft being Boeing.
And they also are actively trying to turn RISC-V into AArch64 but without any license fees.

If you even try to do any business with Qualcomm they make it incredibly clear they will go nuclear on anyone for the slightest breach of their contracts to protect their IP, but they completely fail to make this reciprocal. It is a classic case of what-I-do-is-valuable-what-you-do-is-trivial.
As a side note, if anyone is looking for clean well factored easy to understand code, the golang standard library is a great example.

I learned go this way. I don’t mean I learned the syntax I mean I learned how to structure the code. It’s just really well thought out and extremely pragmatic.

It’s a master class in “clean code”.
one thing is to build, another thing is to keep what you have. The beauty of nuclear is the longer it works, the cheaper the avg energy gets since most of the cost is actually building the infra
The skill of finding errors is actually a very useful one. I can count on one hand how many times I've made similar mistakes in code, after 3 hours staring at it that lesson really sticks and you don't make it again.

When an algorithm tries to fix it for you you only learn how to send the code to the algorithm to fix it for you. It's convenient in the moment for sure, but you haven't learned how to fix your own code and won't know how to fix it when the algorithm is the cause of the error.

That also ignores secondary risks, like giving your codebase to a nonprofit / very much for profit company. That isn't always possible depending on the codebase, and in general why bother giving them access to it when you instead learn how to find your own missing semicolons? Why spin up a pipe of GPUs and burn all that power rather than learning to do it yourself?
No, because as soon as you take it out water from the atmosphere will start to condense on the surface and destroy the diffractive properties.

Mostly stuff you can't really change. Like, the cultural difference between Sweden and Greece is _way_ bigger than between California and Virginia. You've got the language barrier too. This isn't gonna be fixed, maybe ever, but will continue to cause friction.

Someone who learned English mostly through books and the Internet could very well have such a mixture, since unlike native speakers of English, they don't have a strong bias towards one region or the other. You could even say that our "training data" (books and the Internet) for the English language was the same as these LLMs.
It’s being downvoted because it’s technically incorrect. They are describing a Dutch Oven.

>The pesky customers want "Safety", and we aren't selling "Safety", got to get some of this "Safety". Guess we better do some re-orgs, some focus groups, some training to make sure everyone knows "Safety" is important. Maybe throw in some training on "Quality".

Gah hahahaha.

Oh God, don't make me laugh that hard. One does not merely add some more Quality to a product as if it were flour in a cooking recipe. Quality is literally the single most difficult to add back to something once you've decided to skimp on it; as quality itself is a compound output. It's a result of having your entire goddamn company devoted to the goal of creating a quantitatively superior product.

Boeing decided it was time to not sweat the package, and to turn itself into a financial product. As it turns out; it's pretty much impossible to do one while not doing the other...
The cost of nuclear energy is reflected in the electricity bill, not the initial investment. If you look at countries like France or Finland, the cost is very low. And in Finland, it's not "old technology."
In contrast, German bills, heavily reliant on renewables, are among the highest and most unstable in Europe.

> "unsolved problems"

Do you mean the intermittency of renewables?

> they have/use mostly government run industries.

I don't think in French nuclear is mostly used for gov industries. So I dont understand this point.

It's amusing how your arguments against nuclear are purely ideological and filled with intellectual dishonesty.

I don't understand your connection between nuclear weapons and nuclear energy.
nuclear doesn't have unsolved problems. It's only problem is the cost. We already know how to operate the plants, how to safely store the waste or reprocess it to reuse multiple times, how to solidify the waste - all of this is already known, the question is if govt's want to spend the money now for this infra to get the prices down in the future and reduce the build times like China did

Are they low-tech? at least BYD presents all the known tech, bells and whistles for a lower price.
This has become the most plausible theory to me over the years.

The biggest piece of evidence I see is our ability to memorize non trivial sequences with perfect recall even after decades of time elapse.

Who can still recall things like the home phone number from their childhood, or CD keys from various games and operating systems?

Yep, that's a huge problem, and one that isn't easy to fix. The European market is vastly more gragmented than the North American one, so even without Europe's penchant for taxes and regulation, North America can more easily get giant companies that can reach across the Atlantic.

The only real answer is protectionism, and there's a good chance that'll hurt more than it helps.
I think the act of coding is fun, even if the domain is not.

I think the goal should still be fun. It’s not fun to lose the beans.

I think when the coding becomes overly fearful is when bugs and problems happen. Maybe you don’t have much leeway around the bean part, but you have a lot of room to test and validate that system. How do you make that system as fearless to work with as possible?

It’s a difficult goal, but achieving it is a worthwhile accomplishment. A difficult puzzle that some might find fun.
