Yes, using the everyday definition of "gift." Is it an improper gift? Depends on what your professional relationship is with your friend and their family. Must you report it? That's a legal question that depends on a lot of things.

Friends giving gifts is usually fine and a positive aspect of friendship. But, in the case of Supreme Court justices, we've decided they need to record and publish these gifts. That way, Congress and the public can decide if their rulings were affected by "gifts." For example, South Korea's Supreme Court flew Ruth Bader Ginsberg over for $8000. That was probably more of a "professional networking and learning" gift. But if somebody with a connection to South Korea's government had a case before the court, then we could've pressured RBG to sit that case out.

Nobody is saying that cattle are the sole cause of climate change. Suggesting that is a non sequitur.

They are simply another artificial source of GHGs that are contributing to climate change. That's why you're statements are disinformation. The intention is to somehow equate the natural GHGs from species which arise very slowly and allow a balance to be maintained, generally, yes, in a cycle.

The point isn't that cows are a problem. It's that we've created a whole bunch of cows, very rapidly, without any corresponding plant life to offset the excess emissions they produce. While extremely unlikely, this could absolutely happen in a natural system, and it could still cause climate change if it did.

The problem is total GHGs in the atmosphere right now, of which livestock is a significant contribution.
cost of Waymo FSD hardware add-ons : $50,000

cost of Tesla FSD hardware add-ons : $5,000

Tesla benefits from vertical integration, which is super important in the innovation phase.

I think it's clear that solar panels, while working today, clearly haven't been able to solve today's problems, or else this discussion wouldn't be happening. But we should keep investing in them, one way or another.

Similarly, we should keep investing in the prospect of commercially viable fusion reactors. The harnessing of fusion reactors would be instantly revolutionary as opposed to the incremental progress solar promises. Therein lies the difference. Once is not necessarily better than the other.

And it's not a zero-sum game.

Now switch to physical flow and France is the top exporter for Germany. Note that cross border trading is day ahead and not complete, it misses at lot of the daily flow, anyway trading and physical are completely different because of Kirchhoff law.

Anyway people that talk about import from one country to another just show that they don't what they talk about. For example Danemark is a net importer for 2023, so it doesn't make any sense to say that most of Germany electricity import comes from Danemark, it actually comes from Norway and Sweden and Danemark is just passing it through. You would have to use flow tracing to get how much each country provide, but if there is 2 way to count flow there many more to do flow tracing. What is important is net position.

On my machine, I am able to create a prompt that suits my need and chat with the model in realtime. With 100% GPU offload, it replies within half a second. LM studio provides an OpenAI compatible api endpoint for my Dotnet software to use. This boosts my developer experience significantly. The Azure services are slow and if you want to regenerate a serie of responses (e.g part of conversation flow) it just takes too long. On my local machine I also do not worry about cloud costs.

As a bonus; I also use this for a personal project where I use prompts and Llama3 to control smart devices. JSON responses from the LLM are parsed and translated into the smart device commands from a raspberry pi. I control it using speech via my Apple Watch and Apple shortcuts to the raspberry pi’s api. It all works magically and fast. Way faster than pulling up the app on my phone. And yes the LLM is smart enough to control groups of devices using simple conversational AI.

> At the same time, there is a wrongness in Cloudflare being able to overwrite content and changing the 'truth'.

This is one of the many features of Clouldflare though, that you can enable additional features that modify your website in various ways - whether it's image resizing or analytics or security scanning.

If you don't trust Cloudflare to deliver your website, then you shouldn't use Cloudflare.
Why use this over LinkedIn Sales Navigator? Zoominfo/DiscoverOrg? How much time have you actually spent prospecting? If you have to ask vague questions to find your prospects, you probably don't know your ICP and need to refine your GTM strategy

"Contrary to what is stated on the polyfill.io website, Cloudflare has never recommended the polyfill.io service or authorized their use of Cloudflare’s name on their website. We have asked them to remove the false statement and they have, so far, ignored our requests. This is yet another warning sign that they cannot be trusted."
Agreed. I've given a few conference talks and found judicious animations super helpful when I'm presenting code.

Showing 10 lines of code on a screen at once is a surefire way to have the audience either not read/understand it or to read it, but ignore what I'm saying. So I like to build up a slide full of code by starting with a couple line (eg the function definition), then adding a few more, then a few more, and then the whole thing. Subtly animating the new line in is a great way to highlight what's changing. Double-so if I'm reordering lines. Otherwise the code is just flashing from one state to another and it's not always obvious what happened.

Even better, I sometimes want to walk through the execution of code. I love having a red arrow highlighting what line we're on, and animating it between positions is a good way to highlight that we're moving from one thing to the next, especially with non-linear jumps (like from the end of a loop back to the top).

Animation is an easily-abused tool, but it's also a powerful one.

"We designed and built a rocket engine in two days."

However, even in the rocket field, there's a "design, simulate, build, test" cycle. They can do two of those steps in effectively 0 time and with significantly lower cost.

Moreover, it looks like the design has incremental feedback from something akin to simulate.

Sadly, it's not a very interesting read.
That doesn't mean the 'uhhh...' is related to the certainty of the remainder of the response.

I literally just tested your prompt, with the question "is the sky blue?" and chatgpt prefixed the response with "uhhh..."

These models create the illusion of thought by statistically stringing words together, but they don't actually think or perform judgement of their own.

Edit: After digging into this for a few minutes, I challenge you to try prompting an LLM to judge the certainty of its own responses. The results I am getting are even worse than I thought it would be.
Texture (the statistical arrangement of all the crystal lattice arrangements that make up a metal) can play a role on mechanical properties, but current metal AM is more than able to meet material standards.

Do they actually use features like ARM trustzone and encrypt the firmware?

>fascinating how Swedes are so concerned about the small number of crimes committed by the US and want the US to withdraw.

Withdraw from what?

>Yet they remain steadfastly silent on the crimes committed by Russia and China.

How have we been silent on those crimes. We have been quite concerned, they are almost next to us.

I don't myself want to be part of NATO, but evidently the government is to afraid not to be, so now we are.

>Should the US withdraw from geopolitics and allow those other two to fill the vacuum?

The US has not gained anything of geopolitical value by storing people in the Guantanamo Bay prison camp or by flying suspect terrorist to torture camps in Europe, or by inhuman treatment of prisoners, as happened at Bromma. It hasn't gained anything geopolitically by going after people who revealed war crimes.

The US actions that I oppose are for the large part neither of benefit to the US itself, nor to me. On the whole these actions are just stupid.

To the degree that I want to avoid US troops in Sweden, this stupidity, these useless and harmful decisions that get implemented are one of the problems. Because if the US can this stupid on matters like Assange, or can desperately want to torture some random nobody, and are in such a hurry to do so, that they fly him through Bromma just because can refuel there, then they can do any kind of idiocy, and it can end up being me, or something Swedish that matters that pays the price.

The US can defend its interests in a more co-operative way and with greater respect for international law and for its partners.

>Like Julian Assange himself - I suspect many Russia supporters are hiding in plain sight.

If you're implying that I would like Putin, who I consider basically a Chechen-cuddler. I've had less problems with him historically, and I don't think I fully understood how vengeful he was until he did as he did against the Karabach-Armenians. I'm probably more pro-Russia than Zelensky is-- I don't hate the Russians and I like many aspects of Russian culture, including their mathematics tradition and some of their music.

I don't see the Ukraine war as per se very different from the Iraq war. This means that I view Russia and the US as closer on the level of morality than most people, who I feel have a bit of short term view of the world. These things 20 years ago are like yesterday to me. Details matter though, and scale, and many other things.

Rather, when it comes to support of Ukraine my view is not based on morality as such, although I do believe that the Ukrainians have a right to rule their country, but rather on Swedish defence needs. We Swedes need to support them and ensure that Russia does not expand and get a border against Poland or some other unnecessarily forward position. There is no reason why we should allow such a situation, which will only cause us problems.
> changing the 'truth'.

This is sort of exactly what cloudflare does, though. They host your content on their servers. They're serving a mirror of the original files from polyfill.io and browsers are getting the same original bytes. If it's a fact that pulling content from polyfill.io is a security issue, why wouldn't you want them to do this? The "truth" as you describe is a third party that you don't trust (who acquired a service you use from the original provider). The status quo is inherently bad. "We served your page for you, but without the injected code and with full compatibility" feels like an awfully nice thing for Cloudflare to do that they simply didn't need to do.
This is _exactly_ how we get Terminators, folks.

Intra-LATA calling between neighboring towns got a bit more expensive for a while, yes, but long distance almost immediately became much cheaper. It was like the move from film photography to digital -- suddenly everybody was taking photos freely, because the marginal cost was almost gone.
