I'd respectfully submit that Christians "confronting" me over what I decide to call my business is a fantastic example of someone trying to control the conduct and speech of others.

There's a horrendous double standard around religion in our society, whereby religious people demanding things of others is always some beautiful instance of protected religious self expression, but any obligation on religious people to tolerate others is a grievous violation of their religious liberty.

It is infeasible to suggest that I must check with every fringe religious movement before I name things, or choose mascots. But worse, it's intolerant. I have the right to my own beliefs, and to act and speak in accordance with those beliefs. It is no one's business but mine if I decide to open a shop called "Lucifer's Lamps & Light Fixtures".

Tolerance does not consist in pretending to all think alike, it requires genuine acceptance that others believe and speak differently, and that that's OK.

I am just looking forward to the end of the year when I finish one of my jobs... allowing me to remove Windows from my laptop. Currently I have to use it!

Does not matter if its Windows 11, Windows 10... or even if its Windows 98. I just want GNU/Linux on it!

All my other machines have Linux.

(to note -- it is Windows 11.. and I have mixed feelings about it)
> which comes perilously close to "either believe as I do, or at least have the decency to pretend that you do in public."

Pretty much everyone has those sort of rules, and they have changed and evolved over time. Societies converge on a set and then find anyone who has a different set grating, because "muh morals", but if you're self-aware enough you'd realise that whether those rules are predicated on spirituality or something else is irrelevant to how it ends up "working" in practice.

Actually, the fact that you're expressing this dissent is showcasing your own tendency to enforce such rules.
> However, there is the https-only movement to prevent web browsers from viewing my website, because it it not https and therefore not 'safe'.

Like i said, nothing is stopping you from doing whatever you want other than the fact that other people might not like it, and might choose to treat your website differently. Just like you can choose not to use https, other people can choose not to like sites that don't use https. Freedom goes both ways.
If it’s happening systematically to almost everyone than the whole system has been calibrated to that. Probably want measurements to be slightly high to err on the side of caution anyways.

There are meltdown-free designs as engineers have learnt from previous problems.

That's exactly the point of government regulation, want to build a privately developed and operated commercial nuclear reactor? Requirement #1: it cannot be physically possible to have a meltdown.

Pretty much the same way jet liners have black boxes, round windows, no smoking, seat belts, etc. The FAA regulates and legislates that.

The irrational fear of nuclear power is just that.

This is a difficult one to judge because, while the logo may keep some extremists away which, I agree, would reduce diversity, a policy of kowtowing to such extremists may keep more open-minded people away instead.

All the fixes he's proposing to add to Appimages were solved by Flatpaks and Snaps. Of course he dismissed both options while giving flimsy non-concrete reasons.

Well, let's say ads work. I am not convinced, but you're persuading me. :)

Can't outlaw them - we still need them to quickly inform & educate the masses. The governments will definitely use them even if just for "good" purposes. Who will define "good" though? In a world without ads people will not build an immunity and any ad will have such an effect that the temptation to use it will become irresistible to anybody in power. And mark my words: they'll use them for worse stuff than smoking and eating.

Also, we'll loose all ad-supported free stuff. And there is a lot there, like pretty much all media. The poor will be the most affected, too, since stuff can be paid with money or attention and they have no money.

> Tobacco industry

I don't know any smoker that is not aware of the dangers. But what they get out of it makes it worth it to them. Believe it or not, most people do not live to maximize their life expectancy, they have other criteria as well - like pleasure or enjoyment of life. Otherwise everybody would start their day with 4 hours in the gym and walk everywhere.

> After advertisement was abolished, Tabacco use went down significantly.

I'm sure there were many other measures taken as well.

> the obesity epidemic [...] believe advertisement has something to do with it

How about the food pyramid pushed by governments that was full on processed carbs? How about the vilification of fat & meat made by the medical establishment I believe? How about people naturally choosing comfort and pleasure over hard work and restraint? How about partners working both with little time left to chop and cook at home?

I doubt you need ads to explain the obesity epidemic.

> I've never seen an ad for not eating. I've never seen an ad for not buying a pair of shoes.

Because we must eat and have shoes - we can't not buy food or shoes. None of those ads made me buy, they just influenced my purchase decision. And I see plenty of ads for health advisors and nutrition experts that tell me to eat more veggies and less sugar. Maybe they are not on main stream media, but alternative media is full of them.

> The trick is getting them to do it and letting them believe they made the choice.

If I wanted to protect my kids from that, I would expose them to more ads, not less. Because they would be even more vulnerable to ads if they saw fewer of them.

I believe that for the best ideas to win, we need to debate more, read more and learn more - not to burn the "bad" books.

Back in USSR times in the 80s my high school had a room for a dental work.
Of course it had a soviet electric motor drill, not any fancy or not so fancy compressed air turbo anything (because it's cheap like some great RBMK reactors which of course cannot fail) and a young visiting dentist to test their skills on kids. I do not have any great memories related to this.
But now I'm also thankful that at least there were no resources to have an X-ray machine for some practice.

I do agree on not letting nuclear reactors explode, but I did use the SpaceX example on purpose. Before SpaceX started to do it, the concept of iterating to that degree on rockets was unthinkable. There was a self reinforcing loop of "rocket launches are expensive, so we must plan for every contingency, so the launch cycle is long and expensive". SpaceX proved that wrong.

I think small modular reactors are the way out of the similar cycle we've got for nuclear reactors. And I think that building a small number of large ones is going to be a lot better if we're also building a large number of small ones and learning.

It's like not building a y houses for 30 years and then building a massive skyscraper. If that's all we do then we'll only ever have one way of building a skyscraper because there's no room to experiment on other construction materials and techniques.

In Britain, it's very well known by those of us who are 40+, and I think even younger people will at least have heard of it, even if they haven't played it themselves. It was an absolute staple of playgrounds in the 1980s. There's a rich history of supposed 'cheats' — boiling the conker in vinegar was a classic. And, note, conker, not chestnut (two different things).

LLMs are not simulating brains in any capacity. The words 'neural network' shouldn't be taken at face value. A single human neuron can take quite a few 'neurons' and layers to simulate as a 'neural network'.
Physics has kinda-solved what it means to know something.

- JTB is not enough, for something to be “true” it needs _testability_. In other words, make a prediction from your knowledge-under-test which would be novel information (for example, “we’ll find fresh cow dung in the field”).
- nothing is really ever considered “true”, there’s only theories that describe reality increasingly correctly

In fact, physics did away with the J: it doesn’t matter that your belief is justified if it’s tested. You could make up a theory with zero justification (which doesn’t contradict existing knowledge ofc), make predictions and if they’re tested, that’s still knowledge. The J is just the way that beliefs are formed (inference)
Those are definitely exaggerations for marketing purposes.

I find it incredibly silly that 20+ years after the first more advanced "AIs" in games like Half Life, we're still far from a point where I can fire up a game of Dota 2 with bots and have the bots behave constantly well at an intermediate level, so that I can turn Dota 2 into a solid single player experience (I don't have the time nor the patience, anymore, for managing a team of toddler brains for 30-60 minutes).
Exactly. But interfering might actually make it worse.

if you don't care about any externalities (like spacex), sure. but I doubt hospitals or just normal people who need electricity would be super happy about power sources failing because the people building them subscribed to the "move fast/break things" mentality instead of actually building reliable/safe infrastructure at the cost of it taking longer
They have codified human knowledge in human language, represented by arrays of numbers. They can't access that knowledge in any meaningful way, they can just shuffle numbers to give the illusion of cogency.

Well clearly from that comment you are just as much invested in the topic as they are else you wouldn't go out of your way to be offending to trans people, mocking the fact that they are born with a dick so that they are not real women and positing that they are somehow invading women spaces.

I don't know if trans women are real women but they are what they are and certainly entitled to live a good life as any other member of society and if they are only asking for being called (trans) women instead of men with dicks I fail to see how this is more of an issue that having access ramps for wheelchair in buildings

2160x3840x8 per frame uncompressed, for 8 bit video... Even at 24fps that exceeds 1 Gbps.

So "full fidelity" means ~8:1 compression ratio? At 60 fps it's closer to 4 Gbps so ~20:1?

Not to mention 8 bit video is not great and susceptible to banding as well as in general already concidered compressed in color space even when "uncompressed".

You can probably get away with streaming it at that quality but by any of my definitions it's not close to high fidelity.
I had to check the numbers because it grabbed my attention.

No issue with your quoted figure of 30,000 TWh (annual) global electricity consumption.

But we only need to do 7TWh of battery supply in year 1 (or say only 1-2 of that makes it to grid storage).

30,000/365 is 82 TWh daily. So that’s the number to crack, surely? Because a significant percentage of storage will be to make up for wind and solar, which generally approximately follows some sort of diurnal cycle?

If we will be closing in on a couple TWh annual storage capacity in 6 years (leaving aside any real synchronised attempt to get vehicles to be part of large scale distributed grids) then only a few years on from 2030 we’re going to be able to store a significant percentage of our daily energy demands

There is a big difference between "nothing is stopping you from starting an exercise program" and "nothing is stopping you from being the ruler of the planet" even though the construction is the same.
These look really nice, thanks for sharing.

Out of curiosity, were you setting out to create something new for stylistic reasons? Or licensing? For the fun of it? From a distance I'm trying to distinguish this from something like remix icons https://remixicon.com

SMDs are not that bad, I always design my boards with SMD components, though I never put smaller than 0805. The chips are even easier to solder once they are fixed at two or three points.

The fatal mistake of this AI cycle was calling LLMs AIs, and publishing impressive chatbots before they were wired up with more useful stuff than passing the Turing test.

It made some billionaires who will argue it was a tremendous idea. But in the long term I think it will cause another AI winter that will dry up funding for useful research that would take longer to mature. Or maybe it's just like fusion... promising on paper but so incredibly expensive to handle as to render it useless in practice.
> This doesn't seem to be about forking, but rather contributing upstream using a GitHub-like model.

Probably useful to distinguish between the concept of "forking" where you basically take the existing project, duplicate it, then start working on your own independently, and the action of "forking" in the GitHub UI that just duplicates a repository.

The latter is commonly used for contributing upstream, while the former would be when you don't want to contribute and want something independent.

Yes, that shit study which models supplying the entire grid with one energy source and lithium storage through all weather conditions.

I would suggest reading the study I linked so you can see the difference in methodology when credible researches in the field tackle similar question.

The credible studies are focused on simulating the energy system and market with real world constraints. Which unsurprisingly works out to be way cheaper when not involving nuclear in the picture.

You are prohibited from the following uses:

This is really strange. Who would use icon sets if not GUI libraries? Is it some web-ism that desktop app developers are too old fashioned to understand?
Yes, it is true. Websites built on wordpress do not generally use wordpress trademark to generate revenue. Its not recommended to have footers that says "built on wordpress", nor is recommended to keep the default website icon. If the client is, say a medical company that sells medical products, any reference to wordpress would be unprofessional to have on their company website.

Is that client of yours a web developing company that focus on wordpress in their marketing?

The number of cases AI is used for is too vast to cover, but I do have the same experience. I've a few heuristics about assessing how well AI will work.

1) AI's performance decreases exponentially with the sparsity of relevant examples available on the web. The fields in which these are prevalent tend to be specific frameworks, libraries or hardware. AI may sometimes extrapolate from similar examples - for example many JS libraries are similar to others - but when it comes to, say, firmware libraries, it fails horribly. How relevant is relevant is a matter of some dispute. I find that it cannot transfer much beyond direct examples of library code. It's not necessarily a matter of bad documentation, even if the necessary docs are there, it has very poor ability to come up with a solution from first principles.

2) AI's performance decreases linearly with the number of different dependencies that piece of code connects to. Part of it is it doesn't have the context, part of it is that the chance of it seeing that particular configuration decreases exponentially with the number of variable configurations.

3) Bizarrely AI is terrible at recommending books. I was asking it for books on introductions to category theory and it made a whole bunch.

Where AI is useful is writing boilerplate, especially starting code which has minimal dependencies and plenty of examples online.

There's this quote from Andy Warhol that I think has great explanatory power:

> What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca-Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca-Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca-Cola, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good. Liz Taylor knows it, the President knows it, the bum knows it, and you know it.

The UK has the exact opposite of this. Everything that's for sale here is finely graded according to the buyer's budget and taste. Where someone chooses to do something as innocuous as their grocery shopping in the UK says an awful lot about them.

If you visit the UK without an awareness of all these little class indicators, you'll probably find yourself frequenting establishments that target the lower end of the socioeconomic scale, because discretion is highly valued by those at the top. There is truly excellent food to be had here - British cheeses win more international awards than French ones, for example - but if you don't know where to find the good stuff, you'll end up getting the slop the lower orders have to put up with.
