Gallium is not a source of sterile neutrino. Gallium is a good "electonic neutrino" target.

The problem is that they only detect the 80% of the "electonic neutrino" that they expect and they have no clue of the cause. One of the posibilities is that the other 20% of the "electonic neutrinos" mutate to "sterile neutrinos" during the trip.

(Note that there are 3 types of neutrinos and it's possible that there are also a few types of sterile neutrinos (3 is a good guess).)

> After all, the Federation from Star Trek is pretty much the only well-known case of an utopia that actually works in fiction writing

Eh. I mean, by Voyager/DS9 it has secret police, and _literal mine slaves_ (old-model sentient holographic doctors). And it appears to be _basically_ a military dictatorship; the civil government in practice always seems to be subordinate to Starfleet. It also happily trades away inhabited territory to the Cardassians, who are essentially Space Nazis. And it has a safety culture that would make the Soviet Union blush. Really, the closer you look, the uglier it looks.

We also don’t see that much of how Federation _civilians_ live, and a lot of what we do see frankly isn’t that great.
>you should keep it in mind before dismissing people who say that smartphones have become required.

I never dismissed anyone, read my Original comment again. I asked the user devjab if smartphones are really a necessity for survival where he lives, as in if there's actually no way to do banking in person or use physical IDs in government offices, because I found that hard to believe from my experience of living in 3 different EU countries where physical acces for non smartphone users was always available and smartphone ID apps were only optional for those who want extra convenience of not going in person to offices. If

Our government is doing some terrible things. I voted for this government and I feel I should take some responsibility for it. I accept that there may be consequences, potentially awful ones.

I am afraid we are about to vote in a government that will do even more harm -- including to me personally. I think that a lot of people are choosing that harm deliberately. But even worse is a lot of people who are willing to accept that harm to me but without feeling any responsibility at all.

The world is difficult. We make hard choices to live together. We do our best, or at least most of us do. I wish there were more empathy, and I accept that this means I feel guilt.

The Russians are not really a democracy and their understanding of the world is severely warped by their media. And even those more clear on the situation can do only a little. But the more they individually feel a responsibility, the sooner they can collectively do something.

Disinformation from an AI Spam Farm Ended Up on Top of Google Search Results
Many people have a partner and/or friends and/or social networks of friends. Trying to simulate that through work relationships will make your lonelier. It's hard to rebuild after a divorce but rebuilding in work relationships will make you feel more hollow as you are building on quicksand and when you lose your job or change jobs you lose that network.

You are better off going to church on Sunday or finding some other network outside of work. Axe throwing is popular. If your job life changes you shouldn't have to rebuild your social network. Diversity of social networks will help you through things better. Putting all your eggs in a fragile basket of at will employment is setting you up for a crash.

Dinosaurs are also not extinct[1]. I think the confusion just comes from people assuming they know what words mean when they don't.

For example, a bat is a mammel, if all other mammels died except for like 1,000's of species of bats, would you say that mammels went extinct? The title is correct, but you have been misled by the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Loved Palitana, and walking those stairs was a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience, but government action to force vegetarianism on people who don’t believe in it is just as bad as government action to force meat eating on people who don’t believe in it would be.

Training deep Boltzmann networks with sparse Ising machines
"...Using hardware-aware network topologies on field-programmable gate arrays, we train the full Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) and Fashion MNIST datasets without downsampling, as well as a reduced version of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, 10 classes (CIFAR-10) dataset. For the MNIST dataset, our machine, which has 4,264 nodes (p-bits) and about 30,000 parameters, can achieve the same classification accuracy (90%) as an optimized software-based restricted Boltzmann machine with approximately 3.25 million parameters.Similar results are achieved for the Fashion MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets. The sparse deep Boltzmann network can also generate new handwritten digits and fashion products, a task the software-based restricted Boltzmann machine fails at..."
How is that not intelligence? Also you are fine with the word "learning", but not "intelligence". I would think that learning requires intelligence. Learning arguably is a stronger word than intelligence.

Also who is "we" that "used to"?

Machine learning has always been part of AI. It is a field within AI. When people call it ML it is because they are being more specific, but it has always been fine to refer to it as AI.

I think your talking points are mostly put of date or incorrect.

First, batteries are cheap today and being installed on grids at fantastic scales all the time. I suggested 5GWh of batteries above, which at that scale could probably be delivered at $300/kWh installed in a 2024 project. (Back in 2022, that figure was a $481/kWh and price competition has been brutal since then, see figure 3 [1]) At 6000 cycles of lifetime, the cost of delivering a stored a kWh is only $0.05, less than typical transmission and distribution charges.

Second, solar is cheap, and that includes the land costs, at $0.04/kWh unsubsidized (slide 31 [2]). Land producing valuable electricity is now wasted, it's the exact opposite of waste. Solar is recyclable, as a simple web search will show. Further to say that solar is somehow "not sustainable" is just bad propaganda on a massive scale.

There are 571GW of solar+battery projects seeking connection on the grid. [3] Very few of those projects are planning on using Tesla's storage. Now, all of those projects are going to have vastly smaller batteries, but scaling up the battery to cover for 24hour power is an easy design change, especially if it helps the project start generating money years faster than it would if it had to wait for an interconnection. A new data center could partner on site as the off-take for one of these hundreds of proposed projects, if it's close enough to the data center resources. NC would be a likely site.

Well, I do not know if I have convinced you it's a good idea, but I have definitely gained a lot of conviction for myself that it's a fantastic business idea for both the power project and the data center... now if only I had serious skin in the game on either side so that I could benefit from it!

They didn't during my time. But my department didn't do anything that had to do with Web... also, we got into Google through acquisition, and the company originally started with developers working on Linux and rarely Macs. The IT wasn't really very selective about it, so there was a guy who wanted a Windows laptop, and they gave him one since they had licenses for the HR / sales etc. people, but he quickly gave up the idea.

So, by the time we became Google, nobody really thought about it as a viable option.

Why are you quoting a revenue figure but talking about profits?

AT&T has a profit margin currently of about 11%, which is around the average profit margin across all industries. It isn't a particularly profitable business. Not the worst, but also far from the best. In a company like that profitability can be very volatile. Small changes in the per-user cost can wipe out all profits overnight, which is why it's common for companies with billions in revenue to suddenly flip from net profit to net loss. That happened to AT&T in Q4 2022 when they went from a +17% margin to -7% in the space of a single quarter. They didn't start making profits again until a year later.
That's a myth. It's not how recessive genes work.

There's no need to define it as hate speech, since the DSA purposely mentions a very vague "harmful speech/content" (not "hateful") which can in turn applied to whatever the EU sees fits.

For example, any objection to the current policies w.r.t the Russian invasion of Ukraine can be censored due to the DSA and this has happened recently to a prominent Italian YouTube influencer (Andrea Lombardi). His tweets were censored for his opinions about the Ukraine war.

How many other tweets are being removed which we don't know of because they are not coming from famous people who have channels to make themselves heard anyway?

> Brother, I don't even currently own a car. I couldn't care less about speeding.

And that's a problem: car accidents are the #1 killer of people under 40 in the US and speeding is one of the top 3 reasons for that (the other two being drunk driving and distracted driving).

> Constantly adding ever more invasive mandates to enforce laws just takes us further and further down the path of privacy violations. You say that there's no evidence that this regulation requires violating privacy rights, but when the legislation doesn't expressly account for preserving privacy, than it's a safe bet that privacy will not be protected, and will (eventually) be abused.

Wouldn't it be easier to simply have blanket laws regulating what data can be collected by companies and law enforcement, and what data can be sent to law enforcement, not specific to speed limiters?

To be clear, I'm a personal privacy absolutist: I share your concerns with privacy, but I don't think the approach you're suggesting, of having privacy baked into every individual law, is particularly effective for a few reasons:

1. It dissipates the fight for privacy across a million different small laws, spreading resources being used to fight for privacy rights too thin.

2. It pits privacy against a bunch of other legitimate causes: if you hold up this law because of privacy concerns, you're making privacy the enemy of car safety advocacy. That's obviously not your intent, but car safety advocates are going to view it that way. If you hold up a law forcing insurance companies to pay for gene therapy because there are genetic privacy concerns, you're now making enemies of families of people with genetic diseases. If you hold up a law forcing employers to give sick leave because there are medical privacy concerns, you make an enemy of workers rights advocates. Spread across a bunch of different political issues, this create a ton of political enemies for privacy, and adds real grassroots support to the anti-privacy movement.

3. It's ineffective in actually enforcing privacy, because it isn't at a high enough level. Invaders of privacy need only find a loophole in one law and then collect all the data they want in that context, or even collect that data in a context where it's illegal and then pretend it was collected in a context where it's legal (i.e. parallel construction[1]).

Privacy doesn't need to, and shouldn't, permeate every law that is made. Instead what we need is comprehensive privacy legislation that blanket prevents companies and law enforcement from collecting data on people and storing it in central repositories, and provides real penalties for violating that.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction
Those are certainly two ... examples.
As someone who is much more concerned about privacy issues than most, I think this solution is excellent (ignoring whether or not it solves a real problem). I'd do it without hesitation.

The photo would be taken by me, on my device, and no data about it ever enters the control of any other entity. It's hard to fault.

I agree that it would be improved if the staff also required the photo to have a timestamp attached and actually confirmed the time on exit. But even just the photo alone probably gets you 98% of the benefit. Security is never 100%. The main point of any security system is to increase the difficulty of doing the bad thing, and this system does that.
Any tech can be harmful, cf. cryptocurrency or nuclear bombs. My comment mostly referred to taking it to such extreme with a particular tech. Some people also tend, while demonizing (the yet to be confirmed to be possible even in theory) AGI and its capabilities, to completely sideline humans deploying it, as if they would be guilt-free.
Abstract Heresies: Monkeys vs. Shakespeare
This is really great! Thanks for making it!

I will say, personally, my problems with grid are usually centered around getting them to do the expected dynamic rearrangement, rather than just setting up the grids in the first place. It's always an MDN hunt, for me, when I want to get a grid to collapse to fewer columns rather than squish the columns (or vice-versa).

But, in general, it's always nice to have simple utilities like this to simplify those rote things we do all the time. I'm sure I'll be using it sooner rather than later!

One quick suggestion: if establishing grids set the state in the url, it would be trivial to send someone a link to your utility which had the grid they wanted. Not sure exactly how useful that would be, but I just figured I could pop a bunch of "standard" layouts into a text file as urls and that would make the utility easier to rely on, for me.

I went to school fifteen years ago and even then the focus was less on “computer science” and more on “software engineering”. I think, with the enormous rise in demand during the 2010s and the regression to the mean of the undergrads, many programs became almost like trade schools, more “software technician” than “engineer”.

My (weak) prediction is that if the decreased money in tech continues for several more years, coupled with the advent of AI, we’ll see a shift back to more rigorous courses.
