It does not. 40C / 104F temperatures do not feel comfortable no matter what the relative humidity is. Those are the low summer temperatures in the desert lowlands.

The fact that the heat doesn't go away even at night is another issue. If the power ever fails for vulnerable populations, they're immediately in danger. There's no reprieve of night or insulation you can use to fully mitigate those conditions.
I moved to AZ. I spent my first month here on a visit in July, when I could feel the heat from the asphalt through my shoes to the point is was painful after just a few minutes.

I figured if I could handle it then, the rest of the year would be great. It is, it’s basically vacation weather 7 months out of the year with multiple biomes within a 2 hour driving radius. You can literally drive an hour into a snow fall in the winter.

I grew up in humidity & constant allergies. AZ is heaven by comparison. The dry heat really is amazing for health and sinuses.
we are so close to a clean energy transition, I think takes like this one, that equate energy use with harm, are going to seem quaint in a couple years

I formulated this portion of my post specifically to induce contemplation as to what it is when we, as humans, reason. My hope was that this exercise could provide perspective regarding the difference between our existence and really cool, emergent, novel mathematical algorithms.
It may not even be humans that deal with those reports.
That may also be why they think everything is fine and their users are dumb.
> People who want what they already have can just use what they already have.

My point is that while people may want to pursue what you described (some advanced UI behaviors), in practice they fuck up even basic functionality, because even that is almost impossibly hard to implement with text rendering and editing.

For example, in Repaint some basic emojis don't work. And I didn't even try inputting some Arabic or Hebrew or Chinese — I am sure that doesn't work too. Hats off if they manage to do it, but at this point they have spent all their funding on a custom text editor, while they could have spent in on actual features.

I, as a customer, don't care if a product uses WebGL or is written in Rust... All I care if it works or not.

Yes, this is exactly why I won’t use these federated identity features of platforms like this. I have a reasonable amount of trust that they are mostly secure, but I have zero trust that they will be helpful if I ever have account troubles.

> So despite the perception that this season has been slow to start, it actually has not been. In fact, 2024 is in rarefied air in terms of ACE to date. This perception might have to do with storm inflation, or the idea that we are naming more storms today than we did, say, 20 or 30 years ago. In 2020, basically the benchmark for recent historically active seasons, today marked the formation date for Hurricane Laura, the 12th named storm of the season. Here we are in 2024 sitting at five, and it’s no wonder the perception is skewed. Despite having more than twice as many storms to this point in 2020, we only had half the ACE (26 vs. 55 this year).

> We’ve had a “bang for our buck” season so far with quality storms over quantity as, say, in 2020. And while we are in a lull now, the setup is probably going to change in 7 to 10 days to allow things to crank up in September. Never call it a bust. If it is one, we can discuss why in November.

Yes, one reason was that it didn't support games, or at least not very well. Roblox and Fortnite are far more popular than SL ever was.

Just that this time the system didn't work as expected.
The Trump administration backed away from policies meant to reduce carbon emissions, and promoted policies meant to increase energy independence through increased reliance on and use of fossil fuels. The same administration also rolled back nearly 100 separate environmental regulations. It supported developing energy reserves on federally protected land, including national forests and near national monuments.

Trump himself has regularly expressed skepticism over anthropogenic global warming.

I’m… genuinely not sure you can reconcile this with a claim of him being an environmentalist on any axis.
I thought so too until I used Supernatural on Quest 3.

I've given this some thought too and am doing some documenting for friends. Hard to know the answer.

I have paperless photos seafile and a few other things copying to a usb drive nightly that my spouse may remember to grab unencrypted. I'm tempted to throw a 2tb ssd in her laptop to just mirror it too. But access my nas let alone setting it up somewhere else after a move or with new network equipment, email hosting for our domain, domain registration are all going to be voodoo to my spouse without some guidance. I'm tempted to switch to bitwarden proper instead of self hosted too.
So actually widening the moat between the behemoths that can easily step across it, and the startups for whom staying alive long enough to gain a following is a struggle in and of itself.

> Not a single company that offers AI tools, that I know of, provides energy usage and carbon footprint information

What would this look like exactly? What earmarks the power usage as AI, opposed to regular server cost? Just inference and training, or does this also include cost of accumulating and cleaning the data?

It seems like there's no real metric defined here, and as a result any self reported cost by compute breakdown would be largely meaningless.
I'm not here to deny those things - I'm not really qualified to argue in either direction. I wanted to focus on some of the good religion brings, even if you're not religious.

In any case power capture is just another one of those axiomatic things of the human condition for me. After all, democracy and capitalism is being contorted into neo-feudalism in our own lifetimes.

My point was that even though they seem silly to nonbelievers, I suspect a lot of people would probably be happier spending an hour a day singing hymns and reciting prayers. It turns out singing can be a pretty good mind-body hack for making you feel happier. And prayers are a pretty good presence of mind hack for regaining focus

I think the problem with documentation is that most workers feel it's the lowest grunt task, training your replacements and not 'doing'. When in reality, you're helping onboard the next wave of people. And the best part is they don't necessarily need your time, just your docs.

I've on many occasions have been a part of detailing documents and creating them for the purpose of how-tos, I always felt a sense of accomplishment when being able to help new people into the team especially if it was something I struggled with.

A trusted colleague and I were talking recently about documentation and I was saying this much, they said it's the work that the lowest person at the company would do and I should stop viewing it as such a high level. I still enjoy documenting process but now I don't want to do it due to the fact that it is seen this way.
I'm going to plug my open-source metaverse - Substrata (https://substrata.info/) - and talk about it a bit, since it seems relevant to a lot of the topics in this article.

A single world: There is a single main Substrata world, which is filled with user-generated content and scripts. Rendering this and running physics for it is such a difficult technical problem that most other metaverses don't even try! Instead they tend to have lots of separate worlds / rooms. A single main world was important for me, partly as a result of reading Snow Crash.

Technology sharing:
I recently added Luau scripting, which is a fantastic Lua fork from Roblox. It allows sandboxed script execution, has a JIT mode, and has all the usual benefits of Lua (easy binding code etc.).

Substrata also imports standard formats like GLTF. GLTF actually allows pretty good reuse of assets between metaverses.

Crypto: Substrata optionally uses Ethereum NFTs for land - people can pay for land in Fiat, and then optionally mint the land as NFTs.
The big advantage of using NFTs here is that allows land to be traded on the 'secondary market', without me having to do anything, and without my permission and involvement.
If I didn't use crypto then i would need to implement some kind of marketplace myself, perhaps with an escrow system for land transfer etc, and have to deal with fraud and chargebacks etc.

Actually most that I know are all in that bucket. The trick is that this raises the deficits which they then get to blame on the next Democrat in office. It’s a fun party trick.

Say what you will about “tax and spend” liberals but it’s a sight better than political faction that spends even more but forgets entirely about the revenue end of the equation.
Performance per watt and battery life are only somewhat related. For laptops idle and sleep power usage are far more important. For example the AMD AI 300 chips have better performance per watt than Snapdragon X Elite but have worse battery life.

As much as these companies should respect our preferences, it's very clear that they won't. It wouldn't matter to these companies if it was outright illegal, "pretty please" certainly isn't going to cut it. You can't stop scraping and the harder people try the worse their sites become for everyone else. Throwing up a robots.txt or llms.txt that calls out their bad behavior isn't a bad idea, but it's not likely to help anything either.
The economy doesn't stop because it's hot out. People still exist outside all summer in Arizona doing construction, delivering packages, working in warehouses without climate control, living in open air prisons, etc.
I'm not that familiar with llms, but surely we are already at the point where web pages can be easily scrapped? Is markdown really an easier format to understand than html? If this is actually useful wouldn't .txt be supperior to markdown for this usecase?

Does this solve a problem llms actually have?

Not trying to be negative, i'm honestly curious.
y'all should vouch for me, because this needs to happen.
granted, the article says the bug lasted about a week, making $23,000 on the bug, and refunding all players before any intervention.

it is a bit sketchy they did not inform any players of the reason for the refund, but im not sure how they could have handled this better. what are your thoughts
LoL, what're some on your list right now?
I think it is. Lots of actually used standards use it. I see it in the wild all the time.

Certainly more well used than content negotiation which grandparent also mentioned.
I really feel like epic games should be paying games to let people use their consistent character across games. It doesn't need to be significant. Just the metahuman mesh.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the point of markdown is here either. I would expect that anything that looks remotely like a URL will be collected and scraped no matter what format it's in.
God if they made shooters as good as Q3 and Doom then I would definitely play more of them.

> You can't cache it at every resolution

True, but you don't need everything at max resolution simultaneously, so you can update your caches according to the current zoom level and thus get infinite zooming if you want.

At a large zoom level, few things get into the viewport, so it shouldn't cause troubles. My guess is that the troublesome scenario is when you zoom out (so that lots of pages can get rendered simultaneously), not when you zoom in?
Also "well-known" was always such an awkward name to me.
Sounds like the first step is to define a metric. The second would be to measure. Until then, companies can hide behind the "there's no evidence..." wall.
That's another example, but its too spooky for me.
It's based on the series of robots.txt, humans.txt, security.txt, etc
First paragraph is a description of single channel redbook CD-AUDIO format right? Second paragraph is basically describing FFT and inverse FFT. Third paragraph is basically how MP3s work right?

Yes. Converting docs to markdown and using them in claude projects, for example, makes a big difference.

That’s really my primary issue. Google indexing my content and directing traffic to my site is one thing.

But unlike search indexing, there is no exchange of value when these LLMs are trained on my content. We all collectively get nothing for our work. It’s theft dressed up as business as usual. I’ll do whatever I reasonably can to avoid feeding the machine and hope some of the ongoing and inevitable legal fights will rein things in a bit.

How is internationalization, IME support, emoji, accessibility?

I just tried to insert an emoji on the demo. The page didn't recognize the IME was up and when pressed enter in the IME it inserted a carriage return in the text area. I tried pasting in some Japanese and an emoji. Neither displayed. I tried right-clicking so I could use cut/copy/paste/define/lookup/spellcorrect. All of them were missing
I’m not interested in your hypotheticals when we can just talk about the actual use of the image. Why change the context? At the places I’ve worked it’s been unusual for people to even set a wallpaper and extremely unusual to use some arbitrary image in an email signature (like what??).

Maybe you should ask some women that you know what they would think about this actual scenario (not contrived scenarios), rather than presuming.
Of course they benefit, that's why it's a deal. But we don't. The free market or average taxpayer doesn't get anything out of it. Competition and innovation gets stifled - choices narrow down to 2 major providers. They make all the money and control the market.
Yes, this would be another way to escape from the conda base environment.

And as I've indicated in other responses, I absolutely agree that students need to learn how to edit files and run commands from the terminal. The only question concerns the order in which to teach these basics.

But please understand the facts. The majority of students I've encounter who have Anaconda installed on a Mac, had totally given up on the possibility of running an official version of Python. This, by the way, is a big indictment of the Anaconda Navigator, which encourages students to keep using a GUI instead of mastering files and shell commands.

Part of why I recommend the basics:

- an official python
- pip and pypi.org
- venv from the standard library

is that it gets them out of this pattern of this dependency on a GUI. This, by the way, also gives me some hesitation about VS Code. It too reinforces the GUI as the way to set up a working environment.
Ha!

On the other hand, I threw out my antipsychotics years ago, and I still drink, smoke pot...I've even taken psychedelics now and then (almost lost my head doing so one time, hasn't stopped me since!) I say all of you are just afraid--of course you need some level of rational control, but only enough to drive everyone else mad. Its not my problem, its theirs, and I'm here to make sure they understand it.

>oh, but you're not insane, you're clearly a highly functional person who wasn't supposed to have been given antipsychotics

No, I was and I am an extremely delusional person. I just figured out what to say to keep the world of the sane off my back.

I think giving a slap on the wrist for first offense can still be very effective, as long as subsequent offenses are harsher. Especially if it doesn't appear the offense was comitted with intentional malice, and the company did what they could to rectify it once it became known.
I understand that companies give those reasons when the real reason tends to be that the company is locked in to a lease agreement or some similar real estate-related issue. But if you’re saying those things are actually true, that gets a big fat [citation needed] from me.
Yeah thanks, I tried to say I’m not criticising religion

It was a literal cult I’ve read like hundreds of articles and regrets of members and experienced first hand discussions that are manipulative and withholding information and rationalising political stuff with scripture that anyone would just have to experience to get why it’s manipulative and exploitative, it won’t come across online as easily

So it’s a lot of research into the brainwashing funnel of a type of cult that I was talking about and not religion at large
No, see you're supposed to create and upload this specially formatted file on all your webservers for free, just to make it a little easier for them to take all your content for free, so that they can then use your content in their products for free, so they can charge other humans money to get your content from their product without any humans ever having to visit your actual website again. What's not to like?

If they had to pay for all the content they take/use/redistribute they wouldn't be able to make enough money off of your work for it to be worthwhile.
