Based on the title, I was waiting to see mention of ML/AI but it quickly went down a path I didn't expect: the potential downsides of have AI de-anonymize data that was previously anonymized.

I'm kind of surprised by this take and ultimately think this article wasn't particularly interesting.

Here's my take on the cross-section between neuroscience and AI: https://bower.sh/who-will-understand-consciousness

Ultimately, I don't think we are going to discover consciousness in chaotic biological systems. Rather, we will find it in silicon.
Not in this case. A birkin bag is proof that you convinced the salesperson that you de3srve one or can afford secondary market prices.

But it is important to get a good overall understanding of AI so that you can make connections and build diversifiable skills. It's also important to learn the maths - ensure your calculus is solid.

Sorry to ask you to go through other threads, but would you mind picking out the ones that show your math?

The link you did share, has this table: https://oldgrowthforestecology.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/0...

It also states [1]: "On sites like Fairy Creek, old forests are estimated to store twice as much carbon as mature forests and six or more times as much as clearcuts. Productive coastal old forests can store up to six times more carbon than old forests in drier climatic areas."

In that quote "productive" I think means mostly a mature forest (in other places it is noted that only a fraction of area is available for logging, so it's not quite clear what exactly productive means).

From the table of sequestration - it's very interesting how much carbon is sequestered into the ground compared to above ground. Old growth put a lot more into the ground, while new trees sequester almost entirely above ground. The numbers are very different too... The old growth, per same unit area, have a lot more sequestration compared to regen and immature forests.

> Be aware however, I've done the math before and even if we turn ALL potentially forestable AND farmable land into forests, it is impossible to sink all the carbon we're currently emitting into forests. Not even close, unfortunately.

A lot of land cannot be forests. I know this wasn't quite your point - but one thing I think missed by the "grow forests to chop them down and bury them" - is that when a forest is chopped down it no longer is fire resistant. A person can only do that for so long before an intense fire comes along and turns that area into a savannah. The growing trees have no chance, they all burn down - this is how forests become savannahs.

I truly appreciate your comment and the dialog here!

Because funnily enough, the comment itself is kind of malicious compliance.

It has the form of polite debate, but it also feigns to not understand the parent (bad faith is a pretty simple/obvious concept and I'm sure the author gets it), which ruins the discussion. So yes, it appears reasonable that it is flagged.

Ok but just logically. What’s more important? 80% of your economy? Or more expensive energy? Whatever we believe about the latter, the former is existential.
i'm not a super discerning keyboard user but it's definitely not a laptop. my main gripe is probably the in-between key spacing, but there's nothing you can do about that in such a small form factor. you can't quite fit your hands, so i'm using as many other fingers as you can fit. at first you tend to hit multiple keys sometimes or don't quite press the key far enough but it just takes a bit of practice and gets 95% better. all in all not terrible, not great. about what you'd expect on a device this size.

I've never used an fx(tec) but judging by the pictures it would be about in-between one of those and a laptop keyboard.

I'd say it's borderline but i've considered using it for "distraction-free"/fun stuff where i want to write something but i'm not bottlenecked on typing speed and maybe just want the novelty of the form-factor. i think the best i can say is that i don't hate it and would use it in a pinch but not for work.

Svelte will work here the same way that React does. If a component/element isn't mounted it will not render or update.

Where Svelte has an advantage is that:

1. A lot of stuff is built in, but extendable/replaceable. Styling, animations, basic state management, ...

2. It's update model makes it easier to use vanilla libraries without the need for any react-x wrappers.

3. The update model is also easier to use in general. The amount of stale closures and referential equality issues I have to fight every time I do something in react is insane.
I get that. So microwavable issues.

I'm probably an odd-ball though. If there's oven directions, I almost always go with those. Usually more evenly heated, things can be crispier instead of just soggy, etc. My countertop convection oven heats up pretty quick and uses its fan to cool off pretty fast as well when done, so I can often get a set it and forget it kind of deal reheating frozen foods in it once I dial in the time/temp on convection mode for whatever dish I'm making.

I also tend to let a lot of my pre-made frozen foods thaw in the fridge the day before cooking to speed up cooking times. Once again that usually takes some trial and error to dial in the cook times as the packaging pushes you to keep the food frozen until cooking.

Realtime collaborative _thing_. It's super clear. Trying to steal a term already used to mean other things, namely playing video games with more than one person, is a terrible idea. You have words already that mean what you want, and everyone understands them.

Google docs is a realtime collaborative word processor. Git is a collaborative source control system. If you told me that Multi is a realtime collaborative editor then I'd instantly understand. But trying to say that my OS needs to be multiplayer is just confusing buzzword bingo.
The cost of a Ferrari isn't in the car. It's in the insurance, maintenance, and stress of anything happening to the car.

It seems a lot of the process is slowed by "someone has to run to the registry" type stuff which has to be done in a specific order and during "normal" business hours. Typically the sales guy is eager to finish (just wants to sell his next car) but the paperwork is where things get really slow.

The entire time I was thinking how much of a "waste of time" this all was for the sales guy. He really didn't do much after the initial 2 hours of sales time, just "held our hands" while the paperwork was processed.

>You’ve driven a lot of car models yet you wouldn’t know how to compare handling?

Correct. I've also been driving for a quarter of a century.

>That claim seems disingenuous, in order to serve up a point.

>You most certainly would be able to differentiate and compare

No I wouldn't. I swear to you I'm not lying. A car is a car to me. There are different sizes and some are a bit more comfortable than others but they are mostly the same to me. I don't even know what "handling" even means, I've never had a car behave unexpectedly when turning the wheel.

In sure I would notice a difference if I was racing or something, but I'm not, I'm just going to the god damn grocery store.

I imagine foods that need a lot of moisture content are probably better with the microwave, those trays probably wouldn't seal well and you could lose a lot of moisture in the 30min or so it probably takes to reheat from frozen. But in the other direction it seems foods that are crispier usually aren't great in the microwave in comparison.

But IME even with a good microwave a lot of frozen meals tend to reheat somewhat unevenly with the default directions even with a rotating tray. I do admit I've never used a microwave where the magnetron moves though.
From my experience the biggest PITA with switching to jdk 17 and beyond is the module system (jigsaw). Very few projects utilize this in practice and instead of being a step forward it's a source of annoying runtime errors and typically results in a --add-opens mess on the command line too.

Moving away from traditional JNI (especially with critical JNI natives) also complicates what used to quick and easy work. But at least Panama clearly comes with interop and compiler-level improvements.

Jigsaw though... I can't even.

While I cannot argue about a Specific approach, I could say that hallucinations can only be minimized but with a various level of measures while working with large language models.

As an example, while we were building our AI Chatbot for Ora2Pg, the main challenge was that we used OpenAI and several other models to begin with. To avoid hallucinations to the most possible extent, we went through various levels including PDR and then Knowledge Graphs and added FAQs and then used an Agentic approach to support it with as much as information as possible from all possible contexts.

As it is very challenging for anybody and everybody to build their own models trained with their data set, it is not something possible to avoid hallucination with generic purpose LLM's unless they are trained with our data sets.

The chatbot that we built to avoid hallucination as much as we can.

This is true and worth mentioning. Much of the tourism industry won't work with logging and mining soiling the pristine landscape.

A negative angle is that they used to be able to live off the land with hard work. Then the city people banned that, and now they're reduced to serving those city people on their nice vacations.
It's pretty unfortunate that we ended up with system dependent newlines. This means that text files are not byte-for-byte the same across systems so comparisons or hashing need normalization. This also makes reliable line splitting less convenient. I was also bitten by FTP transferring binary files with text mode instead of binary mode, causing corruption.

Nowadays I tend to enforce LF everwhere. Windows can deal with it, and it ensures consistent cross platform handling. I know that Rust also uses a single LF on all platforms, not sure if there are other such languages.

i agree that "unreliable" isn't a good term for the transport. reliability is a property of the system, not of the transport. and you can make an unreliable system with TCP or a reliable one with UDP

but, "best-effort" implies that it's doing some effort to ensure delivery, when it's really dropping any packet that looks funny or is unlucky enough to hit a full buffer

i like "lossy", but this is definitely one of the two hard problems
It's still very much a dinosaur industry. I suspect the names (i.e. Tony Jone's Toyota) in dealerships and dealership gorups are typically 70+ years or older by now. Children might be taking over and running things now but dad is still likely "chairman of the board" and makes final expense decisions.
Because GP's comment mixes the concepts and who thinks what in a very "I'm just asking a question" way, while suggesting that everything not illegal is 100% fine. People don't appreciate that because they see exactly the kind of person who would operate in that malicious compliance mode.

Obviously you can't regulate every bit of behavior and this will always leave room for abusing corner cases. You have quiet hours in your neighborhood? I'll just make the maximum amount of noise every second it's allowed, forever. It's legal, it's not fine. So clearly GP's comment rubs people the wrong way enough to be flagged.

It's pretty clear from the term itself that malicious compliance is compliance or else it would have been called (malicious) noncompliance. This is what people think Apple is doing. What EU authorities believe is that Apple is not compliant with the law, perhaps for different reasons than people see as malicious compliance.

So the EU is bashing Apple for them not being compliant, while regular people are bashing Apple for the malicious compliance. The second one is perfectly fine to do even without a judge's verdict.

Sure, putting files on a CDN is very cheap. But, point of sales is a massive pain in the ass. Updates are a massive pain in the ass, notifying users of updates and security patches, not to mention marketing. These things are such a huge pain that I can see why a platform would charge more than pennies for them.

Facing building out exactly this stuff myself using Stripe, a traditional website, building in licensing keys, etc etc. If something like the app store were multi-platform and had a bit more support around offline licensing and things like upgrade pricing, then honestly I would not immediately discount it even at 30% cut. Especially if I got some marketing out of it too.

You can argue wether 30% is the right number, but what the app store provides is definitely not "basically nothing".
I think "not correct" is unfair.
The comment's audience was people who are unfamiliar with the effect of financing on market rents. To that end, I left out some nuance and caveats.

I appreciate your expansion on my statement though: "The bank doesn't want that either, as long as the payments are coming in on time."

But Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) looks at Net Operating Income, not just the collateral property's rents.
DSCR is recalculated at intervals based on the lender's policy.
That policy varies from bank to bank.

All banks' policies are examined by regulators, so it's not as though banks can totally ignore DSCR, but there are ways to mitigate policy exceptions that range from business as-usual to "Extend and Pretend"[1] that's been common since the Federal Reserve rapidly raised rates in 2022.
