Here are a few reality checks that might unfortunately put a damper on your enthusiasm.

Our yearly emissions are 36GT and ever growing modulo a reprieve in COVID. It was only about 20 just 17 years ago. That means you need to sequester more and more every year just to keep a constant percentage of sequestration. If you include deforestation and wildfires, this number goes up to 41GT which means there’s a compound effect since current models suggest that’s part of a negative feedback loop (ie worse due to our actions and global warming).

Perhaps more importantly, the 750GT number you cited (whatever the real number happens to be) is 1.5x larger than before we started burning fossil fuels at scale. So to get the world back to where it was, not only do we need to overcome our yearly expenditure, we’d have to pay back a lot of CO2 emissions debt we’ve spent building our economy and even 10 GT/year won’t pay back nearly three centuries worth of exponentially increasing emissions on any meaningful time frame once the world is at net 0.

All of this is ignoring the practical realities of scaling carbon sequestration up in a way that’s net positive and even mildly profitable or at least not expensive enough that it doesn’t become a collective action problem.

I’d be the first to celebrate if this were an actual solution, but unfortunately I think carbon sequestration won’t be a meaningful effort to even think about in practical terms until we’re meaningfully on our way to net 0 and we’re well off from that with politicians thinking about maybe banning fossil fuel car sales in 2035 which means it’ll take until 2050 or so for a meaningful percentage of fossil fuel cars to start leaving the road. And ignoring the manufacturing challenges about producing so many batteries (which I think we will probably solve), we’re nowhere close to solving decarbonization of shipping and aviation and don’t have line of sight on the big whale of the energy grid which is responsible for >70% of all emissions (yes yes solar - but worldwide emissions from the energy grid keep going up and we haven’t even made a dent in the second order derivative and maybe just in the third order if you’re optimistic with every indication that we’d actually need nuclear to change the calculus in the short term).

"And still they conveniently fail to see any connection with today times."

Who is they? The people who brought far right leaders to court because those were shouting SA slogans? Surely not those. And I would argue, that the new right indeed does see the connection, they want to have that connection to today times (see shouting SA slogans).

"It is some unclearly defined Nazis who took over the control of Germany and did all the killings and destroyed a few countries around."

Not sure what that sentence means.

"But not anyone's grandfather was involved."

You seem to have missed the 1960/70s where the topic exactly was that "The fathers did this and didn't talk about it" (In the West, East Germany just declared themselves victims of the Nazis) - which directly lead into the red terror (Red Army Faction RAF) of the 1970s as a reaction to "old nazis".

And you seem to have missed the large Wehrmacht discussion in Germany
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wehrmacht_exhibition
(late, I know)

"And supposedly the companies which built their wealth on slave work and death of thousands continue to prosper."

Many companies have paid [0] (late, not enough IMHO) for using slave labor - at least that discussion led to every company pay a historian to write down that part of their history most ignored before. The biggest problem is not the companies but some rich people in Germany like the Quandts who are one of the richest families in Germany and own a large chunk of BMW - they got their money by slave labor, selling to the Prussian army and the Wehrmacht and by stealing from jews.

Compared to that, my (German) grandparents lost their large farms (not complaining, or accusing, but as a comparison) and everything else except their clothing and the clothing they could carry in two suitcases. They were not on the right side of "War Is a Racket".

Indeed, I was thinking of an elective republic, which is also how I think the founders conceived it. Example from Federalist 57:

>>> The elective mode of obtaining rulers is the characteristic policy of republican government.

We can debate how electors are chosen, but if the elected choose their own electors, then it's not a republic.
Gödel had great respect for their work and was considered one of only a few people at the time to have read and understood the work. He wrote an entire paper later in life explaining he wouldn’t have come to his result without Principia because it showed him a base case to work from. Him and Russell would continue to meet and discuss logic well into the 50’s.
Coming from Typescript that doesn't look very ominous to me, though it would nice if the types could be inferred somehow.
Considering your choice of metaphor, it's clear that the phenomenon existed long before "tech". It is a hallmark of bureaucracy through the ages.
> Wait, you're proposing...

No. Some significant differences between those examples and the new proposal:

(1) (most important) Those are all implemented and released. The time to debate how those things might best be handled is long over.

(2) The interactivity of text editing and selection are limited to local state of the control itself. Notably, they don't affect the DOM. pseudo-classes like :hover are effectively DOM operations, but are at least limited to a kind of boolean state flag, which is a lot less complicated and fraught than rendering arbitrary DOM subtrees.

Anyway, as I already mentioned, I'm not arguing against a reactive mechanism built in to the browser. I'm saying if you do it, it should not be a one-off for a single, specific case like <select><button><selectedcontent>, but should instead be a generally applicable mechanism.

Fascinating. Though I expect people to be concerned about privacy implications of sending screenshots of the desktop, similar to the backlash Microsoft has received about their AI products. Giving the remote service actual control of the mouse and keyboard is a whole another level!

But I am very excited about this in the context of accessibility. Screen readers and screen control software is hard to develop and hard to learn to use. This sort of “computer use” with AI could open up so many possibilities for users with disabilities.

>At least in the Gold's formalization

It seems to be a persistent myth (possibly revived more recently due to Norvig?) that Chomsky's POS argument has some interesting connection to Gold's theorem. The two things have only a very loose logical connection (Gold's theorem is in no sense a formalization of any claim of Chomsky's), and Chomsky himself never based any of his arguments for innateness on Gold's theorem. Here is a secondary source making the same point (search for 'Gold'): https://stevenpinker.com/files/pinker/files/jcl_macwhinney_c...

The assumption that syntax is 'separate from semantics' also does not figure in any of Chomsky's POS arguments. Chomsky argued that syntax was separate from semantics only in the fairly uncontroversial sense that there are properly syntactic primitives (e.g. 'noun', 'chain', 'c-command') that do not reduce entirely to semantic or phonological notions. But even if that were untrue, it would not undermine POS arguments, which for the most part can be run without any specific assumptions about the syntax/semantics boundary. Indeed, semantic and conceptual knowledge provides an equally fertile source of POS problems.
iTerm is slow? That's a new one for me...
Hmmm... interesting. How would that work? Just count the number of BT signals in a room?

How many BT devices is the average student or faculty member toting around with them at a given point?

Could conceivably be 4+ with some combination of: phone, smartwatch, tablet, BT speaker, game device, etc.
I totally get what you mean. I'm also someone who finds compiling or building unnecessary when running JavaScript in the browser. It feels like we end up studying and dealing with issues that aren't directly related to actual development.

I really like TypeScript as well. In fact, the back-end of this project is developed with .NET 8.0, and since TypeScript gives off a similar vibe to C#, I genuinely enjoy using it.

I've already made the web front-end open source:
https://github.com/Farer/breathingworld_client_web

Even though I’m using Vanilla JavaScript for personal preference and to minimize performance issues, I’ve also been concerned about potential challenges when collaborating with others in the future. I’m currently looking for collaborators, but it hasn’t been easy. Honestly, I might be going against the trend, but that’s a possibility I’m aware of.

To me Raku represents small-scale data mangling/processing and glue language for small scripting. Hacker oriented, personal and individualistic, not something you'd push in corporate. In many ways similar role what Python had decade ago, and Perl had two decades ago.
Vsync locked at 60fps on my desktop 1050Ti, which was released 8 years ago, so not too surprising.
Rust can be an intimidating language but the example you’ve provided there really shouldn’t be intimidating to anyone that’s using TypeScript today. There’s a little learning to with &self and & but that’s really basic Rust stuff. I don’t think it’s wise for a framework to attempt to hide core components of the language.
How is it tangential? It's directly related. The satellite is moving in a straight line at a specific speed. The explosion does not negate that speed, rather it just applies a momentary bit of acceleration/deceleration along a new vector. So unless an explosion can provide more acceleration that can null out the original object's speed, the pieces will remain in orbit. That's just how fast orbital speeds are, and it took a bit for that to click
I have been a paying ChatGPT customer for a long time (since the very beginning). Last week I've compared ChatGPT to Claude and the results (to my eye) were better, the output better structured and the canvas works better. I'm on the edge of jumping ship.

> * It's my view that MVC (and therefore Rails otb) is not ideal by itself to write a production-ready app, because of the missing service layer.

This is quite the claim. I despise service objects, personally. They end up scattering things around and hurt discoverability. There are other ways to do modelling that scale very well. There are a few blog posts on it, here's one from someone at Basecamp: https://dev.37signals.com/vanilla-rails-is-plenty/

This is of course very OO which I'm not a huge fan of. Elixir's Phoenix framework, for example, uses "contexts" which is meant to group all related functionality. In short they could be considered a "facade."

In any event, if you like services you like services, they can work, but saying MVC isn't enough for production-grade is a bit misguided.

I do agree that model callbacks for doing heavy lifting business processes is not great, though for little things like massaging data into the correct shape is pretty nice.

The problems you describe only involve "tech" as the vehicle for the scam. The scams can and do just as easily happen in person or over the phone.

You can talk to the bank and ask if they can prevent or limit purchases of crypto and large transfers, especially transfers never authorized before. Credit card companies have sophisticated fraud detection mostly based on patterns of legitimate usage, and I think at least some banks do as well. I know my bank (Charles Schwab) will flag unusual transactions outside of my normal patterns.

You could move the bulk of the funds into a separate account that requires two signatures, or doesn't allow electronic transfers or crypto purchases at all -- a savings account at a credit union, for example. Only have enough in the current account for the elderly relative to pay their routine bills.

I have had this conversation with my own parents, telling them to never trust any unsolicited phone call, email, or pop-up on their phone or computer. They can always call the bank, IRS, police, whomever the scammer impersonates.

The only technical solution I can think of involves a basket full of hornets for the scammers who prey on people.

"WHAT KIND of cheese is the moon made of"

Climate/Energy policy is the electorate, not the government.

You're not protesting The Government here, you're in fact protesting your neighbors who elected the politicians. It seems self evident that any policy being protested is in fact a popular policy and that protestors are the minority attempting to force their will on the majority. By this line of thinking it seems any group protesting anything is missing the point.

Also - who wants more nuclear power? We can go back to living in caves and fighting for scarce resources, expand the nuclear power infrastructure or continue to burn oil and gas. Pick one.
Is it only for public posts, or also private ones ?

I wouldn't post private information in a public area, but I happen to exchange adresses or account numbers in private messages, as I would do in emails. Not on X since I'm not on the platform, but any other one will do the same if not already done (e.g. Reddit).
From the computer use video demo, that's a lot of API calls. Even though Claude 3.5 Sonnet is relatively cheap for its performance, I suspect computer use won't be. It's a very good idea that Anthropic upfront that it isn't perfect. And it's guaranteed that there will be a viral story where Claude will accidentally delete something important with it.

I'm more interested in Claude 3.5 Haiku, particularly if it is indeed better than the current Claude 3.5 Sonnet at some tasks as claimed.
So, once you understand the cultural context, you know to give the people both mosquito netting and fishing nets. This would be easier if you could afford outreach and food assistance. This just shows that food assistance is a key part of medical assistance.

> people who have lived with malaria for generations don't see it as being as big of a problem

I don't accept the idea that these people want to live with malaria because it is normal. People don't like being bitten by insects. They just like starving to death much less. Appropriate funding can honestly solve this problem.

Gaming and applications that require extreme performance is the only application where Fp doesn’t work well.

> But it's not even mainly about performance. The structure of the code changes with every requirement change. In a non-artificial code you're doing stuff other than calculating the result, and all the associated state and dependencies now have to be passed to 4 different loops.

No. I’m saying the initial design needs to be one loop for every module. You then compose the modules to form higher level compositions.

If you want new operations then all you do is use the operations on intermediary state.

That’s how the design should be. Your primitive modules remain untouched through out the life cycle of your code and any additional requirements are simply new modules or new compositions of unchanged and solid design modules.
Those blacked out areas are totally aliens.
> If a teacher is unable to teach Johnny to write a for loop, despite Johnny’s genuine utmost motivation, I would question teacher’s competence or at least fit.

This relies on everyone's ability to learn being determined solely by motivation rather than innate ability. As someone who has tutored both deprived children and the very bright I can say this unfortunately isn't true, even though the world would be a better place if it was.
I mean, storage might be an easier option ;)

There are many alternatives, but I have a 10kWh LiFePO4 pack that is sufficient for my house 95% of the time.

There have been great strides recently in battery recycling and new chemistries. Not to mention alternatives to batteries.

To me this seems like one of those problems that seems impossible until the economics start driving innovation. I think we are heading in the right direction.

You said it yourself it's for a specific group of people.

Society will still think it's rude if someone they know who doesn't have a hearing problem under 40 doesn't take their ears out when trying to have a material conversation with them. It doesn't matter how many old people have airpods in. Because again - the younger group generally doesn't need it.

Taking your ears out is a sign of respect and showing attention like the article says.

Why are we so bent on fighting human nature?
I still feel like the difference between Sonnet and Opus is a bit unclear. Somewhere on Anthropic's website it says that Opus is the most advanced, but on other parts it says Sonnet is the most advanced and also the fastest. The UI doesn't make the distinction clear either. Then on Perplexity, Perplexity says that Opus is the most advanced, compared to Sonnet.

And finally, in the table in the blogpost, Opus isn't even included? It seems to me like Opus is the best model they have, but they don't want people to default using it, maybe the ROI is lower on Opus or something?

When I manually tested it, I feel like Opus gives slightly better replies compared to Sonnet, but I'm not 100% it's just placebo.

Great work by Anthropic!

After paying for ChatGPT and OpenAI API credits for a year, I switched to Claude when they launched Artifacts and never looked back.

Claude Sonnet 3.5 is already so good, specially at coding. I'm looking forward to testing the new version if it is, indeed, even better.

Sonnet 3.5 was a major leap forward for me personally, similar to the GPT-3.5 to GPT-4 bump back in the day.

Working well for what? Generative linguistics has certainly made progress in the past couple of decades, but it's not trying to solve engineering problems. If you think that generative linguistics and deep learning models are somehow competitors, you've probably misunderstood the former.

BUT. I don't have any fancy shell prompt nor ligatures (don't see any point) and there is a warning that enabling said ligatures will impact performance...
Why not rev the numbers? "3.5" vs. "3.5 New" feels weird -- is there a particular reason why Anthropic doesn't want to call this 3.6 (or even 3.5.1)?
im unclear, is haiku supposed to be similar to 4o-mini in usecase/cost/performance? If not, do they have an analog?
I was talking about the spectrum, not brightness or intensity. The spectrum represents a variation in just a single quantity - energy per photon, or wavelength if you prefer. The spectrum is orthogonal to brightness/intensity/power.
That's mildly interesting, I suppose. But why do I care what Anthropic wants? I don't want Anthropic's AI agent to control my computer. And it's my computer, so Anthropic can get lost.

I agree the question of events still kind of remains. I think they should always be mirrored because they shouldn't be two separate elements. You shouldn't be able to change the "selectedoption" because it should be a pseudo-element. If the <option> changes, the pseudo-element should immediately change. It gets its content from the option.

You don't need to rearrange the HTML of the "button". You can use ::before, ::after, and general styling to do anything you need to. I'm struggling to see any advantage even if you were okay with using HTML to style pages.
