I was just discussing this with my wife while driving on the local expressway on a clear Saturday afternoon. The speed limit is 55 MPH but everyone was moving at 70 MPH without any issues. The road is wide and straight with limited on/off ramps and the faster speed felt very natural.

This is a common occurrence on this road and everyone seems to abide pretty well. Sure, there is the occasional "idiot" doing stupid things (weaving in out of traffic, speeding up / slowing down, etc.) but for the most part it just works.

The big problem is when a LEO is around. Everyone slows down to 55ish MPH and traffic backs up and people do weird things.

However, I don't know the solution. If we raise the speed limit to 70 MPH does that mean that people will then feel comfortable going 80 or 90 MPH? If we lower the speed limit to 30 MPH will that cause everyone to only go 55 MPH? This piece of road just feels right and natural at 70 MPH; everyone seems to think so, if unconsciously. Will changing the laws "fix" this piece of road?

There are alternatives to iron that have higher efficiency and lower prices. For instance https://hydrogenious.net/ does exactly that but with benzene like structures. The advantage of this is that you can reuse existing infrastructure for transport and you have higher transport efficiency: while the square cube law exist, the same thing holds for the forces on the chamber walls which have to increase in thickness. Hydrogen tanks are also very expensive as they have to be manufactured to tight tolerances (and they need to be replaced rate often due to hydrogen creep weakening chamber walls)

Most capitalists see the value of a stable consumer class, though, backed up by a legal system and economic policy that injects money to prevent the collapse of their income-drivers.

It communicates disagreement and pushback to perceived aloofness.

Its archetypal form would be an academic making a Monty Python Witch Trial argument being refuted by an average Joe. You generally don't see it followed by a rigorous intellectual argument, because by its framing it's rejecting intellectualism. Put another way, it's a call to common sense. In reality, it tends to reflect an inchoate argument,.
Pretty matter-of-fact tone for a subject of complete mystery to us.
I tend to agree that LLMs are not thinking in the way that we usually mean it when referring to human thinking. However I think it is dangerous to assert on the capabilities of a system based on the structure seemingly imposed by its API. Take for example the instruction set of a CPU. One could argue that a cpu only has N registers or can process only one instruction at a time because the instruction set only contains N registers, and processes instruction linearly. But on any modern application processor, the register renamer allows many more physical registers to be allocated than can be names in the ISA, and instructions are dispatched in parallel to mitigate memory latency and increase throughput.

What I mean is that an LLM is not a stochastic parrot because of its API, but rather because it does not outdo a stochastic parrot when tested.

This could change though. LLMs could think in full sentences and spoon feed them to us one token at a time, rewording as necessary to provide a few possibilities. They could memorize the letters in each token and count letters correctly despite the limitations imposed by the API.

While I don't doubt that there's a lot of fudging going on here, the author is a bit off in thinking that the only research use of pancreata is in transplanting islet cells into patients. In particular, there has been a lot of research recently into "encapsulated islets" -- placing them inside some form of membrane which allows nutrients in and insulin out, but protects them from the immune system. This would make it possible to implant an "artificial pancreas" without needing life-long immunosuppressant therapy.

For others reading the parent comment to this one - they left out the most relevant part of the Brazilian constitution for this situation, presumably on purpose to make the secret censorship orders look legal. Within Article 5, is Title 9 which reads:

> “IX. expression of intellectual, artistic, scientific, and communication activity is free, independent of any censorship or license”

And note that the introductory text that precedes this reads:

> “Everyone is equal before the law, with no distinction whatsoever, guaranteeing to Brazilians and foreigners residing in the Country the inviolability of the rights to life, liberty, equality, security and property, on the following terms:”

In other words, “communication activity” (which posting on Twitter obviously constitutes) is protected without censorship.

Petroleum is not a recent discovery, it was known to various ancient peoples in Asia, North Africa, Europe, and America where it seeped to the surface and was used in various forms for at least 70,000 years. It was most widely used to caulk ships, pave roads, cement buildings, waterproof canals, heal skin diseases, kill lice, and preserve mummies (Novelli and Sella 2009).

"History of Oil: Regions and Uses of Petroleum in the Classical and Medieval Periods" (2020)

What limited wider application were largely limits to how rapidly it could be extracted, which waited for drilling methods first developed in China for salt mining thousands of years ago, before being adapted by Galacian and American oil prospectors in the 19th century, and far more importantly, transportation, first in barrels on barges, then on railroad cars (requiring iron and steel for locomotives, cars, and of course rails themselves), and pipelines (requiring high-quality steel and manufacturing processes), virtually all of which required industrial-age technologies.

This is actually true of fossil fuels generally: coal was first used proximate to natural occurrence, then in Britain where the proximity to coastlines and waterways meant that it could be shipped large distances, and natural gas required pipelines, pressurised storage facilities, and cryogenics. Even today, natural gas remains difficult to store and transport in bulk without ready access to pipelines.

In the US, despite abundant coal reserves, fuelwood served the bulk of energy needs until the development of Bessemer-process steel permitted not only railroads, but railroads whose rails could handle the weight and forces of heavily-laden coal gondolas, in the 1880s. Locally-sourced, locally-transported wood was far more practical, and overwhelmingly abundant (despite being harvested at rates exceeding replacement).

Meanwhile, alternatives for fuel, medical, and other uses were generally available, mostly through plant- and animal-based fats and oils: olive oil (from which petroleum oil received its name), wood and charcoal rather than rock coal, and animal fats used in skin treatments and candles. These could be locally sourced near population centres and rather than in the remote and often hostile regions in which fossil fuels were found.

The ancients were well aware of fossil fuels, they simply couldn't make ample use of them without numerous other complementary technologies.

Do you consider anti-government Chinese people, such as Falun Gong members or general pro-democracy activists to be bad actors and that censoring their speech is important to protect institutions from them? I'm trying to point out that you can't simply decide who's good and who's bad. Censorship entrenches whoever happens to be in power regardless of their merits. Maybe you think democracy is the important part and autocratic governments are wrong to do censorship while democratic ones are wrong to allow free speech?
If he worded it like you did now "Russian line", I would agree--but he didnt. He used a word that Russia loves to use in cry bully situations. It implies that Lithuanians are doing this because they just happen to hate poor russians while they have legitimate reasons to be scared and are forced to react.

You may think that Im pedantic or whatever but Russia has history of subtly playing with words and thus dictating the discourse. For example term eastern europe was hijacked by soviets to enshrine and justify their sphere of influence which was a completely made up term which descends from germans and their ostsiedlung--the settling of lands to the east of germans states by germans.

Humanity has barely figured out how to run safe text-only online spaces. Spaces with images and video are far harder. Spaces with full 3D interactivity of user generated content is so far from being safe, and that's not even counting that things like VRChat and Roblox are scriptable.

Each escalation of content type brings a significant increase in the complexity of moderation, and things like this show that it's not just moderation to protect people from being offended, it's moderation to keep people physically safe. We need to take this a lot more seriously than we currently do as an industry.
> They would go so far as to pick a materially worse deal that allowed them to pay no taxes, over a higher payout that required some taxes paid.

I find that hard to believe.

I highly suspect that the "materially worse" deal you speak of is simply less liquid cash, but more retained wealth.

A principle source of methane leakage is from gas wells themselves, as well as the extensive infrastructure involved in processing and transporting gas from its point of extraction to usage.

<https://www.epa.gov/natural-gas-star-program/primary-sources...>

In situ / on-prem methane production, storage, and usage would tend to minimise much of that.

Further, I don't see methane synthesis as a likely option for synfuel storage applications as described here, as heavier fuels (~C-12 -- C-15 chain-length kerosene) is liquid (far easier to handle than a gas), nonvolatile (as contrasted with petroleum or lighter hydrocarbon distillates), and can be stored in simple, unpressurised, unrefrigerated tanks virtually indefinitely. You're creating a problem which needn't exist.
I generally agree. Case in point: all that is transpiring with Telegram, compared to Signal.

It’s unfortunate that your thinking has been reduced to this by democratic rhetoric. No, the country isn’t “the rich paying their fair share” away from thriving, here or anywhere else in the world.
> Which "we" are you speaking for? That doesn't sound like the tech world...Silicon Valley based companies have been politically active since at least 2016

That was the tipping point. Before Trump, it was common to hear techies in the Bay Area proudly proclaim that they didn't concern themselves with politics. (Reminds me of the way aristocratic Europeans talk about commerce.)

Tech always had views on policy. But it wasn't outwardly opinionated on politics, certainly not partisan politics, in the overt (and influential) way that it is today.
Fraud isn't just lying, it also has to be for some sort of personal gain, typically financial. You're taking their money too. If you tell people that if they invest in your pyramid scheme they'll get rich but you have no actual pyramid scheme and don't take anyone's money, then it's not fraud and shouldn't be banned in my opinion. But it is a lie.

I think it's more subtle than that and the danger relies more on the massive usage of chatbot AIs. Like some people I know, they use it many hours every day and they get trapped in some kind of "echo chamber". Because they think chatbots have a consciousness like a human and they are social "beings" or entities, they sometimes get tricked into false beliefs.

Agreed, though I think when people advocate for "trans rights are human rights" it's almost always also about the "right" to access spaces that were intended for the sole use of the opposite sex - which isn't a human right either.

I’ve gotten to see some of that at a local level and… I just don’t know. We barely managed to pass a local school levy to recoup from a major accounting error that would have meant massive layoffs for the district. It’s a pretty good district academically, and I was shocked at how many empty nesters (new ones, too) were vocal about voting no just because “no new taxes“, despite all of their kids consuming that very system with great benefit for the past 18 years.

A few counties away, the library district said without a tax increase, they’ll have to shut down. “No new taxes” carried the day. Library shut down. Now folks are howling. And again it’s the non-voting kids that suffer.

If this is the behavior of folks about issues affecting their neighbors, in their own town, I’m not too optimistic what sort of support we could see for any kind of longer-term issue, especially if it isn’t atop the media cycle.

One, not true. If a real estate agent sells you a house based on a bunch of lies and somehow forgets to charge a commission, they're still punished.

Two, you're still drawing criteria per which speech is punished.

Back then the appeal of console games to me were that beyond a convenient factor, they were also very specialised hardware for one task - running games.

I’d imagine that for some wealthy people it’s an unavoidable outcome of hiring wealth managers simply because they need someone to manage their wealth. The managers, in turn, have a professional obligation to minimize costs, including taxes - so they cook up these tax schemes.
This is largely academic now. LLMs do a good job of writing highly complex queries with the django ORM.

All you need is the django toolbar so you can check their efficiency, then keep telling it to make them more efficient.
In 15+ years I’ve only used two orms: Django ORM and SQLAlchemy. I’ve also skimmed docs for many others (some JS orms, etc), and those often look completely unusable.

SQLAlchemy is leagues above and beyond Django ORM. I can’t say I have nightmares from dealing with it, but it certainly was not pleasure. A bit too much magic here and there, not flexible enough and provokes too much bad practices. Re-defining save() methods to do a lot of work, anyone?

The best “orm” that I’ve ever used was not an ORM but a query builder — HoneySQL from Clojure. That one is fantastic. No ORM bullshit, no extra data loaded from DB, no accidental N+1 queries. Not reading docs on how to do a GROUP BY, everything’s just easy to write.

Frankly, we often use SQLAlchemy as just a query builder too. Makes life so much easier.

Doesn't deserve to be flagged, but man, it is super super sad that there's just so so few devices of any type that are consumer accessible and/or run modem androids.

The e-ink market keeps pushing out some incredibly decrepit products. Maybe at some point there'll be some devices built around chips with some upstream Linux support & something can be done, but most of these e-ink devices are built around pre-rotted/already-decayed platforms (older hardware with no path to modern software support).
SQLAlchemy is the best stand alone ORM I have found.

So I did not want to open-source yet, which is why I picked BUSL-1.1, and from what I can tell, the other BUSL-1.1 I've looked at had this clause to open-source at a later date (AGPL3 is an open-source license after all).

I'm still trying to figure out the licensing around this whole thing, so this is temporary I believe.
> hundreds of videos and thousands of hours of content: just charge me a fee to host my videos. I'd pay $100/month

$100 wouldn't even cover the storage mate. Let's say you've got 2 thousand hours of content (smallest amount that qualifies for "thousands")

At 2k resolution, that'd be around 30TB
And you'll want to preprocess it to 1080p, 720p, 480p, so add another 15tb for the other resolutions.

And YouTube supports 4k, so if you're shooting at that resolution, you can add another 50tb on top.

Purely storage you're already looking at a ~$2500 monthly bill.

And then you're gonna have to host and serve it to hundreds of thousands of viewers, the bandwidth cost is gonna be astronomical. Every 100 hours of streamed content is gonna be another ~$100 on top. With a 15 minute video, that'd be 400 views.

And I significantly rounded down on every calculation as this is napkin math. If you'd use AWS S3 pricing for storage and egress you can safely double my dollar numbers.
