I understood it in a slightly different way: The multinational oil companies owning these Chinese companies wrongly claimed that these would save millions of tonnes of CO2. The German authorities accepted this claim even though there was reasonable doubt and it could not be verified because China doesn't allow German authorities to come to China and verify it. The way you phrased it made it sound as if Germany (as in the government) was somehow trying to profit from it. However, they are the ones being frauded.
The problem here is that for current AI systems, the state of the art is the one that has ironed out the most kinks. I.e. what you would expect from a polished product. That is basically ChatGPT with it's monstrous API that does tons of god knows what behind the scenes in addition to feeding text to an LLM, most of which was figured out by trial and error from user reports. There's no doubt that a modern LLM based Siri would be a much better product than the old one, but if they're not careful, they will fall into the same trap they did the last time introducing an assistant.

As a foreigner living in Germany, it’s been incredibly disheartening to become more aware of the level of political discourse here. AfD will continue making huge gains (which I’m absolutely worried about) as long as their opponents continue to reason like toddlers.

The updated headline reads: "Suspicion of fraud in climate protection: Despite warnings millions have been paid to corporations".

The original headline from the 11th of June reads: "Defrauded of millions: did corporations subvert German climate protection?"

Both are an understatement, the volume in question is up to 4.5 billion EUR since 2020.

Yeah, feels more like another reason to hate them for contributing to the enshittification of the web.
It's also not reasonable to assume that a growing organism will break down a smaller amount of stuff every day.
Fewer is subtraction, times fewer is division.

More is addition, times more is multiplication (or 1 plus multiplication, oops).

I don't think anyone says "twice fewer". Or "twice more" when talking about quantities.
Yes, not surprising that Henry VIII found the idea of dissolving them and taking all their stuff so attractive :)

Yeah, would love these on RP2040.

As well as better ADC, "halved" (half mem, IO, PIO and CPU) cheaper version, "doubled" version (2x mem, IO, PIO and M4f CPU cores), integrated flash version, etc. Better power consumption.

That said, I do like PIO and you can use RP2040 as a PIO-peripheral to something more protected.
I approve. I've had this conversation over and over on what.cd back in the day.

It's American/Multinational Oil companies defrauding the German government. The Chinese company actually contacted the German government to blow the whistle and say "Hey, those things you have about us are not true".
"10 times less" contracted to "10x less" maybe?

The first sentence seems fine to me. The contraction much less so.

Agreed with you that (a) AGI is a real, transformative, and possibly calamitous event, and (b) with the amount of money getting pumped into it we will almost certainly get there.

However, I have a personal hobby horse here, which is reminding people that if we shut the flow of investor money off using the right economic policies [1], we can almost certainly just ... stop the research outright, before it becomes an issue.

That is not what the article said. The German government subsidized American/Multinational oil companies who CLAIMED they had environmentally friendly companies in China.
The market cap of a company is not real money. However, owning a significant share of the shares can help rich people get real money without any real downsides. For example, Musk (any most billionaires) use their stock as collateral and take out super low interest loans against that stock. They don't pay any income tax on this loan, since it's not income. On the contrary, they can deduct the interest rate payments from their tax bill.

This money they then use to buy property and other wealth. So, they make more money with not really their money (debt) and they use all tricks in the book to minimize their tax burden - which is much lower compared to (relatively speaking) low and middle class folks who earn most of their money through income and pay high income taxes.

So, you see, even though his pay package is in Tesla stock and its value therefore "not real", he uses it to get very real cash using it. In finance this is called "leverage".

They used to be in Switzerland for the tax structure anyways. The move back to Sweden and the lax regulation was designed to repatriate the business.

> species threatening problems

The human species is facing a threatening problem? I think I know the problems you're talking about, but it seems to me, they're mostly threatening to the current social and economic order, and not to the actual species.

It's marketed as the latter by the former. It's a clever strategy. It has reformed the conversation in the light most favorable to their interests and not yours.

> some of us will be filthy rich when the party stops.

It could be worse. It could be private equity. This company at least produces _something_, and to the extent there are species threatening problems, they are spending a fair portion of their money there.

The nostalgia is understandably for fully user transparent, user controlled, "home" repairable cars .. which is understandable and a goal I'd like to see in EV's.

Open source code, no phone home or hidden backdoors, optionally no wireless or external connectivity other than by on board physical port, etc.

Cars of yore have car manuals, manifolds and heads can be replaced with official parts or scrap yard parts or third party vendor alternatives, etc.

I use EV's for work related applications, I'm still holding off a personal EV until I can find something in Australia that fits my list. Until then I do most local area travel via walking, electric scooter, or homebuilt EV trike with basket for shopping - there's a Land Cruiser for the rural trips and hauling loads but that's more a once per week driver.
And why did politicians outsource that to the market?

It's not like the industry and certain media companies lobbied for it big time claiming the market is so much better.

Just look who they voted in Germany for the EU. The same party that blocked the energy transition with faulty studies, made Germany dependent on russian resources, botched the nuclear exit leading to large compensation payments, installed a debt break in the constitution that is based on a faulty Excel calculation etc.

Seems to me like people want to get fooled. As soon you tell them the truth they listen to those who promise easy solutions for complex problems.
One time, I paired with a guy that used `R` all the time.

It was an eye-opener for me, too. I use `R` a little more often ever since then, but -- like a lot of others here -- my mental model defaulted to more of a `cw` approach.

Maybe there's just two types of vim users. This could be the latest new Silicon Valley personality test.
React isn't a way of structuring code though. It's a whole (huge) framework dedicating to making web apps/pages. And most of the time it seems to be used to replicate functionality that the browser can already natively do (for example, navigating to another page).

You want a good example of how a non-react website and its code might be structured, look at GitHub. At least from a user perspective, I've never had a problem using the back button or ctrl-clicking links while navigating GitHub - which is not something I can say of most other React and heavy-js websites.
I don't understand how you can build up this sort of reaction but you still need to "work out" what it means. It sounds like you learned what it means just fine.

Also the most direct translation is "value reduced by a factor of ten".

"x" means factor, "fewer" or "less" means reduced.

Perhaps you are confusing Athlon 64 with Athlon XP. The image shows an Athlon 64.

Even Athlon XP was initially fast, but then Intel, after switching to an improved 130 nm CMOS process, has succeeded to increase very fast the clock frequencies of Pentium 4, from the low 2.0 GHz until 3.06 GHz in 2002 and eventually 3.2 GHz in 2003. The clock frequency advantage became so large for Intel that Athlon XP was no longer competitive.

On the other hand, Athlon 64 was in a completely other class, at least when using a 64-bit operating system.

I had a couple of Athlon 64, a 2.4 GHz single-core and a 2.2 GHz dual-core. The 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 CPUs were no match for them.

With a 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 I needed 2-3 days of non-stop work (24/24) for the compilation of a Linux distribution, while with Athlon 64 that was reduced to only a half day's work.

Before the introduction of Core Duo in mid 2006, for a couple of years all the available Intel CPUs that competed with Athlon 64 were not only extremely slow, but they were also extremely loud, suggesting an airplane takeoff (because the Intel 90 nm process was a failure, with huge leakage; the Core Duo that made Intel the best again was made in an improved 65 nm process).

The various variants of Athlon 64 became worse than what Intel offered only after mid 2006, though even much later there were many cases when they were cheap enough to provide better performance per dollar than Intel.

The image shown by the other poster is of an Athlon 64 made in 2005, at a time when it was the best CPU that could be obtained from any vendor.

The main thing is to be clear about the main goal of the relationship. Different kinds of founders often want/need different kinds of things:

* all founders -> potential investors, investor strategy

* most founders -> hiring advice, hiring network, exec eval

* b2b founders -> warm intros to potential buyers who trust the advisor, validation through association

* non-tech founders -> understanding and mental model of tech team dynamics

* first-time CEOs -> "how to CEO", coach-like role, potential BOD independent path

* seeking exit -> connection to strategic acquirers, indirect signaling

* solo founders -> talk through decisions/choices/what-ifs without impacting the organization

Sometimes this evolves over time, if the relationship lasts a while. The longer the relationship, the more areas it tends to cover. Often, the more experienced the founder, the more specific the initial expectation.

It might be difficult for founders to express their needs directly in transactional terms, especially if the advisor is perceived to be an influential person in their industry/milieu.

The second biggest thing is for there to be trust and respect in the relationship, in both directions. This is often harder than it sounds, especially for people who are being cold-introduced to each other. It often helps to go through an unpaid get-to-know-each-other period without legalities and commitments.
The author shows notorious negative cases to invalidate a whole industry. Talks about the beauty of Excel more with a nostalgic look. If a company can replace a SaaS subscription with a process in which some employees share an Excel file, they don't need other software at all. Any software product (SaaS included) what tries to sell is a methodology or a way to do the things, condensing the know-how of an industry; whereas an Excel file most of the time means a clumsy attempt by someone to bring some order to the process. The data dependency is something governments should regulate, forcing easy portability. Of course, after years of using a specific tool it is natural to create a dependency, but it could be considered a tax from modern life as the author himself explains, it's something you cannot escape from. Or at least, the change will not involve just cancelling all your company SaaS subscriptions

How Semantic Search Projects Fail
The minimum technology required to solve a problem isn't always the same technology that a team has experience with, has existing projects/code in, can readily hire for, etc. Nor is it necessarily the same technology capable of solving future problems. Besides, some people just like the mental model of some tools and enjoy working in that way. The idea that we have to pick the minimum tooling every single time usually seems like flawed thinking based on that out-of-context Tim Berners-Lee quote.

You can manage things in your life when they occur instead of spending money to displace them or risk losing your job because of them.

In another way, if you present a worker with the option between two jobs with the same hourly rate, one having flexible working hours and the other not, which would expect to be more likely choice? You can then measure the value of this choice by changing the hourly rates between the two until you see changes in outcome and you would be able to estimate exactly how much "more money" it appears to be "worth."
If you don't have to pay for child care because you can just take off the time to pick up your kids from school, you are saving money your job otherwise forced you to spend.

Being forced to commute at peak time costs more - on a retail salary the difference between a peak and off-peak ticket can mean that the first hour or two of working is essentially pointless, as you're just paying back the cost of getting there in the first place.

Having to pay an extra surcharge to visit the dentist, because you can only go on a Saturday because you need to be at work other days. Flexible working would allow you to just take the Tuesday off no problem and go when it's cheaper.

I'm sure there are lots of other examples that apply to different lifestyles.

OK. I don't mind shorter inputs. Also I hope to have one place for my flashcards i.e. make flash cards directly without LLM too. I hope to write kanjis on my iPad to make flashcards - I can't seem to figure out how to create new cards directly?

Email is just an odd case today since I was refunding an item. I usually want to focus on phrases everywhere, my yoga/pilates class, baseball team, sometimes TV, sometimes what I hear on a podcast, sometimes on a magazine, and get a detailed breakdown. It's not usually in formal, nor long.

I personally like both flash card directions because it allows me to practice how to write kanji for example instead of just recognizing, or in the context of phrases, it helps me practice active recalling rather than just passive recognition.
Agreed. Sometimes the early bird gets the worm, but it's always the
second mouse that gets the cheese.

Hype cycles seem to be getting shorter and more intense, and the
honeymoon is an orgy of capital. The morning after, when the hangover
clears and the drinks bill needs paying there's a thousand firms out
there needing to "do something with AI whatever the cost". That breeds
unnecessary and unethical technology, and it means forcing it on
people through pseudo-markets. It's not just that AI is questionable
as a technology, but that toxic money and motives around it make
things worse.
It is reasonable to assume that they are in on it. At the very least they got out of their way not to change it, even when they were being notified about potential fraud.

> In other news, water found to be wet.

That would indeed be newsworthy if countless businesses were to be insisting that they are trying to make their employees wet by pouring sand on them, providing them with T-shirts with the word "WET" printed on it, asking them to wish their dryness away, or (the most enlightened ones) telling their employees to go outside on cloudy days — anything except, you know, simply pouring water on them.
