I'll be upset with liberal justices, too, if evidence turns up that any of them are being bribed on a grand scale by billionaires.

That this is regarded as partisan by anyone is why we're screwed. The revelations about Thomas should have had all of Washington after his head. Nope, it's "partisan" so zero action taken and normal people are even confused enough about it that here we are, having this exchange. If that doesn't scare you, it should.
It does have electrolytes.
I don't think anyone is arguing that emacs is *incapable* of being a good editor for Go and Python. I personally just don't want to. These same reasons are as applicable to emacs as they are to (neo)vim (which I used as my daily driver for a while).

1. I don't really want to bother with a DSL for configuring my editor (even if the language is usable outside of that context for other things)

2. I don't have time to bother with maintaining extensive configuration to get the level of code completion/refactoring/etc that I expect from a modern IDE (nor do I want to have to stop what I'm trying to work on to debug a problem with my config)

3. I don't want to have to research various plugins and stuff to provide functionality that I get out of the box with VS Code (or other editors)

4. I don't want to have a bespoke environment that only I understand when I'm trying to collaborate with my teammates

Don't get me wrong: I think digging into emacs and/or (neo)vim is a valuable thing to do and that everybody probably *should* do it at some point (even if only as an academic exercise), but to assert that they are a viable path for everyone is ignoring the reality that some people simply aren't interested in investing that time/effort into getting their tools working.

One can argue whether or not that stance is a good one or not, but you're just debating personal preferences and priorities at that point.

> Unlike with “Electric Soldier Porygon” the movie continued to be shown unedited in American cinemas throughout its entire run. Since the movie failed to pass the Harding Test, an alternative cut had to be shown in the UK, Ireland, and Japan. This meant that for at least two months of its theatrical run, Pixar had a safe cut they could show to English speaking American audiences and yet still chose to have the unsafe version in US cinemas.

Exhibit A - companies will only ever do anything if they are forced to, even if what they are doing is harmful and compliance is relatively easy.
> more education around basic models and how they work

yes, I think this is critical. There's a slate star codex article "Janus Simulators" that explains this very well, that I rewrote to make more accessible to people like my mom. It's not hard to explain this to people, you just need to let them interact with a base model, and explore its quirks. It's a game, people are good at learning systems that they can get immediate feedback from.
It's good to get an uneditorialized view so you can know what's going on without wasting your breath making the same complaints over and over.

But that doesn't mean the complaints are wrong. SCOTUS is an insane, dysfunctional institution.

The premise of judicial review is that if you have ideologically-aligned justices, then any petitioner who disagrees with Congress or the executive can file a lawsuit, hit the appeal button twice, and get SCOTUS to undo the law. The amount of law that is supposedly derived from the (tangentially related) terse sentences of the constitution is immense and, imo, completely unjustifiable.

The court's ability to strike down 100-year-old laws (whether acts of Congress or their own previous decisions), and their ability to effect these changes at times when the legislature is in a more or less favorable position to react, is destabilizing.

Even if this isn't convincing, just look at the farce that is lifetime appointments. Large swaths of our ways of living are dependent on the health, age, and egos of these people. We have had manifestly unfit justices cling on to the bench in hopes that they can retire under a friendly president. We can do better.
These are great reasons why this business will be hard, but given how ChatGPT and Perplexity are making inroads into search traffic, you can't deny it's an experience consumers prefer.
What a nice writeup. I've listened to jungle and related styles on and off over the years but I wasn't aware the music had played such a big role in 90's game music!
Bold of you to "Show HN:" a crypto project. As best I can tell, this will be use for all the things scam gift cards are typically used for now but more (because now crypto is involved somehow). Your 'stable-coin' doesn't inspire confidence either. Why can't I just gift someone some BTC or ETH? The only reason to include a coin of your own is for a pump and dump.

Really though, this stuff all sounds quite technically difficult. It's surprising to me that people still work on these projects considering it's rather dense subject matter (fin-tech) _and_ it hasn't really proven to be useful for very much in the West.
From what I seen myself and what my son is sharing with me, Iit is a culture war, people are filled with hate and they will believe the shit that matches their side of this war, even if the conspiracy is retarded like Earth is flar or "Israel invented the Covid vaccine to make people gay"
I dont blame them. Twitter is in free fall. The content is mostly conspiracy-of-the-week bots now. I already shut off my account.
I think that future loosening of the credit markets due to political factors is also playing a roll. By the time the runway is spent they may expect to be in a very different market so buying scale now is the move.
Amen to that. Although I think I feel like I am participating in a war I don't want to be part of.

> Both companies are private, so neither has a "market cap"

Private companies have shares. Given a per-share price, you can get a market cap. For a company with debt, like GrubHub, enterprise value is a better metric.
Even aside from bias, so much of the news entertainment produced by legacy media was slop. They didn’t act to raise media literacy because it would cut into their margins. Who could have possibly been surprised when their lingering prestige dried up and people preferred the slop on YouTube better?
This is a great point, but I wonder how much of that kind of search intent is part of google's traffic. If that becomes the only reason people use Google I wonder if they'll go the way of Yahoo. Maybe that's hyperbolic, but there was a time when Yahoo's dominance seemed unquestionable (I'm old).

To be clear, I'm not arguing for everything should be part of a pretrained LLM, but the experience of knowledge searching that ChatGPT and Perplexity provide are pretty superior to Google today (when they work).
In the age of google + AI + instant access to info, knowing how to ask the question is more important than knowing the answer.

This thread started as question on how MacOS is more efficient, not the usefulness of more RAM. In any case, you might still benefit from the substantial increase in bandwidth and lower system / built-in apps memory usage, plus memory compression, making 16GB on Mac more useful than it seems.

Such agency will have hard time building trust (especially given it's a government agency - modern governments aren't particularly good at building trust), and it could lose it all over a single honest mistake, or (as we're talking about conspiracies here) some sort of a poison pill dataset.

Neither does censorship, of course - if anything, it fuels the conspiracy.

What works is education, in general. The better the quality and versatility of education, the higher are the chances an alarm would ring in person's head when he reads some controversial statement. But quality education is an extremely hard and costly problem.
There are all kinds of presentations for seizures. Ones in the frontal lobe are particularly hard to catch based on external presentation. If one is suspected of having seizures they will get a continuously monitored EEG where times associated where the seizure like state is monitored electrically. Sometimes it's a really weird presentation of a seizure or sometimes it's psychogenic. Either way it's good to have these people get some help I'd it keeps happening.

great wiki summary. Thanks for sharing.
Then you still have the issue of whole-system incentives. With free software, there is no incentive to prevent OpenHearingAids from working in France, since it's provided at the user's own risk, and installed by the user themselves, who don't have to ask permission to do so. But when a company controls the process, that company is responsible for everything.

It's somewhat similar in spirit to the end-to-end encryption issue: government agencies can demand platforms hand over copies of users' messages if they have them, but they can't force platforms to have them, resulting in platforms going out of their way to not have copies of users' messages. If a platform went out of its way to not have control over the software its users run (this describes most non-Apple general computing platforms) then it can't be forced to regulate that software. If it does, it can.
> We talked about "critical thinking", "creative problem solving", and "comprehension of complex systems" as the next step, but even when discussing this, how long will it be until more models or workflows catch up?

All 135 mln ethnic Russians seem to have close ties to Putin, from what I understand reading Western media.
Assuming the source was an aggregator that at worst would simply be reproducing Coca Cola's greenwashing PR was a less reliable source than Coca Cola's greenwashing PR would seem like a pretty bad heuristic...

Granted, there are also conspiracy theory websites likely to be less reliable than Coca Cola about Coca Cola, and activist websites whose reliability on the subject of Coca Cola varies from considerably more to considerably less reliable than Coca Coca's own press team, but I don't see any particular reason why teens would assume Reuters was one of those, even if they didn't know what Reuters was. Particularly not if they were showed the article. Sure, there are other ways you can make it make sense like if you substituted "reliable source of Coca Cola's opinion" into the text. But the more obvious explanation is that a large minority of teenagers believe that the most trustworthy authority on anything about Coca Cola is The Coca Cola Company. Just like similarly large proportions believe that Google's sponsored ads are the most popular or relevant results or that something labelled "Commentary" isn't an opinion...

You absolutely can get precision and plain language at the same time. See, for example, the English text of the GDPR.

The ideal situation is that we only need about half an hour of instruction (saying things much like your second paragraph) before a literate amateur can interpret most laws correctly. That instruction can then be given in schools: it could be lumped in along with all the other miscellanea ("here's how to vote", basic financial literacy, sex-ed, etc).

so it uses computer vision to recognize objects like mountain, sea, land, buildings and figure out its relative position?

Sure. You may just not have a navigation system or be able to park in some places. I don't need a smartphone to drive in general and don't always plug it in locally. (I may more or less need a transponder on some roads or have a bit of hassle.)

Or just order from local restaurants using GrubHub. Most mark up their menu prices to absorb the hit they take from working with GrubHub and similar services.

> 1. Different energy sources produce varyings of co2

Yes.

> 2. This likely does not include co2 to make the GPUs or machines

Definitely not, nobody does that.

Wish they did, in general I feel like a lot of beliefs around sustainability and environmentalism are wrong or backwards precisely because embodied energy is discounted; see e.g. stats on western nations getting cleaner, where a large - if not primary - driver of improved stats is just outsourcing manufacturing, so emissions are attributed to someone else.

Anyway, embodied energy isn't particularly useful here. Energy embodied in GPUs and machines amortizes over their lifetimes and should be counted against all the things those GPUs did, do and will do, of which the training in question is just a small part. Not including it isolates the analysis to contributions from the specific task per se, and makes the results applicable to different hardware/scenarios.

> 3. Humans involved are not added to this at all, and all of the impact they have on the environment

This metric is so ill-defined as to be arbitrary. Even more so with conjunction with 2, as you could plausibly include a million people into it.

> 4. No ability to predict future co2 from using this work.

Total, no. Contribution of compute alone given similar GPU-hours per ton of CO2eq, yes.

Lets not forget that Airlines make a ton of their revenue from co-branded credit cards. [1]

Spirit has a credit card from Bank of America [2], but it's terrible outside of the introductory bonus miles offer, which for an airline card gives you a lot of miles for a low intro-spend. Other than that, you get priority boarding and that's about it. No real other perks. I got it, and was probably flying on Spirit more in a few months than any other time in my life because I was traveling last minute to see my late father while in hospice and Spirit was far and away the cheapest flights for next-day flights.

As for status, you have to basically fly weekly roundtrips to get any perks (free bags, etc.) [3]

On top of all that, most business travelers won't take Spirit, and it's often not an option in Concur/Biz travel middleware because companies know the hidden fees so it's often not worth listing for budgeting against known airlines.
