> As I understand things, MPs who are on Twitter regularly get anonymous threats of rape, murder etc https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63330885 - credible threats,

I am sure threats of violence are already illegal. If those people are in the UK, they should be prosecuted. If they are not in the UK they is not threat. I don't believe any if these online threats BTW are credible.

What these MPs do is frequently make outlandish statements, which then gets them a bunch of hate (Jess Phillips has done this her entire political career) and useful idiots will shout their mouth off online. These MPs then point to all the "hate" they are getting. There is even a meme demonstrating this very effect:

The murder of David Amess had nothing to do with Social Media. The killer said it was to do with religion when asked by Police.

I believe the individual was deemed at risk of radicalisation.

> You and I have the luxury that we can just not be on Twitter - but when you're an MP, unless you're in a very safe seat you've got to meet voters where they are, not where you'd like them to be.

They don't need to be on Twitter. Twitter isn't their local constituents. They have surgeries for this very reason. Very few people on Twitter are relevant to what happens on election day in their constituency.

> So from an MP's perspective? In one hand they've got a report about revenge porn, cyber-bullying, 4chan /pol/ and pro-anorexia facebook groups. In the other hand they've got their phone where someone's just told them to kill themselves.

Even if that is true that doesn't mean we restrict everyone's rights because a minority are engaging in illegal/immoral acts.

> They believe in these "illegal harms" because they've got a front row seat, and experience them on a daily basis.

That is what they say to sell the narrative that they need to censor social media. If you look over the last 20 years. It is as if nobody has learned anything from the early 2000s and the war on terror. They will exploit (or create) any crisis.
Argentina's economic woes are because of the cult of peronism

Unfortunately, like in Asia or Europe, the US never stopped interfering in the democratic process of South America. Still today, many of those countries are defacto western colonies and lack any independence. And the few who dare proclaiming themselves as Republics tend to end up on western blacklists.
While the US is extrem, the “obesity epidemic” affects pretty much all countries as they become richer. I wonder if recent developments in obesity drugs like ozempic will have a significant impact there in the coming decades.
How much of this is due to them not visiting and how much is due to the change in dynamics though? Think it's conceivable them not wanting to see the baby early on or in the hospital might suggest a fairly critical divergence of interests
> Nobody wants to pay for forty years of continuous incremental improvement, maintenance, and modernization.

And yet somehow, we are willing to pay to reinvent the thing 25 times in 40 years.
Well, not anything. I have glass embedded in my foot which isn't being attacked, for example, and there are plenty of examples of biocompatible polymers, many of them already used in medical implants.

(By the way, all organisms are made of chiral molecules; what we're talking about is reversing the chirality.)

Some of the things the immune system uses to attack things, such as superoxide, would work fine on mirror organisms. Others, such as antibodies to existing organisms, wouldn't work at all. I don't know what the balance is.
One might ask one question further, why would peronism, a hugely protectionist and isolationist philosophy gain ground in Argentina.
Low battery detection relies on reliable battery level reporting.

Most of my devices hover around 90% for months, then drop to 60% and die within a day. I've stopped bothering with preemptive maintenance, and just replace batteries when devices drop offline.
Isn’t that a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater? Many regulations serve to protect individuals and the environment, both of which might otherwise be overlooked in favor of corporate profits fighting in the free market. I'm afraid that when advocates of minimal government push their agenda, they often envision a level of reduction far beyond what most people would find acceptable. In situations like the one under discussion, I believe improving the regulation would be a better approach than eliminating it entirely.
The Racket distribution has many languages, in particular a few "Student Languages" that are simplified versions of the main language and are degigned to use with the book "How to Design Programs" [1].

They have some artificial restictions to avoid common errors of beginers, and give better hints in case of common errors. They are (almost) a subset, so you can just change the language declaration at the top and get the full power.

#lang beginer ; <-- I'm not sure which is the magic keyword [2]
(define (f x y) (+ x y))
(display (f 2 3)) ;==> 5
(display f) ;==> error: it's probably an error of a beginer

#lang racket
(define (f x y) (+ x y))
(display (f 2 3)) ;==> 5
(display f) ;==> #<procedure:f>

[1] https://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/htdp-langs.html

[2] There is some magic in the editor to hide the declaration in the students languages and I don't use them, so I'm not sure how to summon them in the text version.

Of course they came from playing. But did you have people claiming we have a general AI while basic programming building blocks were still on the operating table?
A world where people only do what they want or feel like doing is indeed a pretty depressing world, I know because that's exactly the world I am living in. The world I grew up on was very different, and I absolutely miss it - Christmas parties, lots of birthday parties, church events, school events, local neighbourhood events... you name it, there were lots of things to do and go to and you were expected to. I think half of the time I didn't really want to, but it didn't cross my mind to say I didn't want to go, and I think that was much, much better - today I barely go anywhere, but I know people also won't come if I call them :( it's just such a sad world.
> If a student is learning on a teaching language without much adoption, there's just not much else a student can do but use the materials that part of the course.

I think that is the biggest advantage of using a teaching language. You can give them curated, high-quality examples and make sure they not led astray by crap code they find on the internet.

And in the ChatGPT era it forces them to actually learn how to code instead of relying on AI.

The main problem is that student motivation is what drives learning success. Just because something is good for them and theoretically the best way to learn does not mean they will like this. It is difficult to sell young people long term benefits that you can only see after many years of experience.

It seems to me that the majority of students prefers "real world" languages to more elegant teaching languages. I guess it is a combination of suspected career benefits and also not wanting to be patronized with a teaching language. I wish people were more open to learning language for the fun of it but it is what it is. Teach them the languages they want to learn.
To reinforce your argument, in the linked article GFS claim that they weren't responsible for the tax avoidance. The recruitment companies they subcontracted out came up with this wheeze.

Complex corporate structures enable plausible deniability. The CEO of GFS probably didn't know what was happening, but also probably didn't want to know whilst enjoying the low fees charged from the recruiters.
I did not show the right side at all, so I am not sure how you can make that statement.

The point is that a+b is symmetric in a <-> b and a-b is anti-symmetric. Both left and right side are anti-symmetric.

The original idea was that they needed big engines and bad aerodynamics to be able to perform their functions of hauling bulky loads and towing heavy trailers. Few people who didn't actually have those needs would want to drive one because they were unwieldy to drive and uncomfortable to be in relative to cars, so such an exemption surely wouldn't be widely exploited.
I'd say ChatGPT at least is a fair bit better at Python than it is at Scala which seems to match your experience.

But "Large language model" as a topic in google trends is still in its peak. Maybe just everyone who would be the audience is already knowledgeable about LLMs so why would Google Search trends be able to keep rising?

> If that's what you think matters above all else, would you support a literal mafia group taking a cut if they had started the market in that particular city?

This is called being a "landlord" and it's actually completely legal.

You buy some land, you build a mall, you invite shopkeepers to set up shops and sell to customers visiting the mall, and the shopkeepers give you $$$$ every month, forever. If they ever stop paying, they lose their shops.

Even though it's shopkeepers that draw customers to the mall in the first place, and even though the shopkeepers are covering all the maintenance costs of the mall, you get paid anyway. Because you own the mall.

So if a mafia group created a market, took a cut from every shop, and threw out anyone who wouldn't pay them their cut? That's actually a legitimate business.
And yet, zero proof again.

Getting so worked up doesn't seem objective so it's difficult to take your comment seriously.

You need to do a risk assessment and keep a copy. Depending on how risky things are, you need to put more mitigations in place.

If you have a neighbourhood events thing that people can post to, and you haven't had complaints and generally keep an eye out for misuse, that's it.

If you run a large scale chat room for kids with suicidal thoughts where unvetted adults can talk to them in DMs you're going to have a higher set of mitigations and things in place.

Scale is important, but it's not the only determining factor. An example of low risk for suicide harm is

> A large vertical search service specialised in travel searches, including for flights and
hotels. It has around 10 million monthly UK users. It uses recommender systems,
including for suggesting destinations.
It has a basic user reporting system.
There has never been any evidence or suggestion of illegal suicide content
appearing in search results, and the provider can see no way in which this could
ever happen. Even though it is a large service, the provider concludes it has
negligible or no risk for the encouraging or assisting suicide offence

An example for high risk of grooming is

> A social media site has over 10 million monthly UK users. It allows direct messaging
and has network expansion prompts. The terms of service say the service is only for
people aged 16 and over.
As well as a content reporting system, the service allows users to report and block
other users.
While in theory only those aged 16 and over are allowed to use the service, it does
not use highly effective age assurance and it is known to be used by younger
children. While the service has received few reports from users of grooming,
external expert organisations have highlighted that it is known to be used for
grooming. It has been named in various police cases and in a prominent newspaper
investigation about grooming. The provider concludes the service is high risk for
grooming
I'm a noob when it comes to DBs, but stumbled upon using InfluxDB with Home Assistant - would you say that's a solid choice, or are there better alternatives out there?
But LLM is obviously able to organize documents and data much more intelligently than any ML algorithm from the past.
And that shows that viewers won't be watching AI generated content? If anything, I think that it shows exactly what I'm saying - that there are viewers and the cost is essentially zero.
Organising data even if it's not 100% perfect is much better than completely unorganized data.
Admitting that I'm pretty oblivious here... The article is about a 44-year study, in Denmark. My impression is that most current-market cannabis, at least in the US, has been selectively bred to contain orders of magnitude more psychoactive compounds than the back "back then" cannabis did.

If so, this study might be less-than-relevant to modern cannabis use. At least in the US.

Anyone more familiar with this?
Very good definition. Definitely Tom-and-Jerry-esque mixed with blue collar scroundrel overtones.

I would expect to have more new Tintin comics as result, but probably will be at most a good falsification (Don't made me make talk about the new "Lord of the rings" film).
That's interesting, thanks for the link! I also thought that ECDSA and ECDH are post-quantum compliant.
But obviously it would be far from accuracy that LLM would be able to do. E.g. generate search keywords, tags, other type of meta data for a certain document.
Yeah, I was aware that a variation of the Elo system is used in esports, but didn’t know it had a bit of a bad rap. I can imagine it’s got its challenges when applied to a huge pool of players. I did a quick google search, and it seems like an interesting rabbit-hole :))

My goal isn’t to just use the elo system for the sake of it, but to bring a fun ranking element to competitive games like board games and stuff. currently elo system works for us, but if we find something better, no hard feelings.

Great news. Sea Shepherd does amazing work in stopping Japan’s inhumane whaling practices, which are often falsely claimed to be research expeditions. Japan isn’t the only country still engaging in the cruel hunting of these highly social and intelligent creatures but they’re the most visible. The international community has not reigned in Japan’s whaling activity, and so the burden has fallen on groups like Sea Shepherd.

Next up: disruption of China’s giant fleets of illegal and unsustainable fishing ships.
It was a figure of speech. Comparing to how much it can cost to make a non-AI video, this is basically free, and if we can learn from the change of costs in LLMs, the price will probably be ~10% in ~2 years from now.
Its not clear to me what the purpose of the high IQ societies Hoeflin founded was other than to give him a prominent role that he did not have at Mensa.

Its not my experience of Mensa which mostly operates in small groups. I just do not find people having a high IQ necessarily gives them a great deal in common.

They don’t return anything, what are you talking about?

Subscribers are never happy, it’s very expensive and fails to cover many things. But what choice is there? Don’t get coverage and hope you don’t get sick? Often times you don’t even get a choice… the company decides what plan and such you can get. So no, there’s no incentive to do the right thing other than the potential loss of corporate customers (which don’t have the same incentive as individuals) or potential lawsuits.
Because economists only call it demand to the extent that people are willing and able to make a purchase.

If someone has a need or wants something real bad but can't afford to buy the desired quantity at the prevailing price then economists don't call it demand.
I completely agree, I'd fully support copyright being reduced to 25-30 years.

The whole point of copyright is to grant an initial monopoly to a creator so they can benefit from their work, promoting the viability of further creative works. It's supposed to be a positive for the ecosystem as well as just the individual creator but I'd argue absurdly lengthy copyright terms, the fact IP trolls are a viable business model, and the fact large corporations end up dominating the creative space are all ways copyright as it stands negatively effects the overall creative ecosystem. 30 years or about that would permit the creator to benefit exclusively from the original release and a nostalgia cycle, but then it'd be fair game for everyone else to build on which is how culture has always worked. I think that arrangement would be far healthier and promote more creativity.
Belarus and Kazakhstan are vassal states of Russia now and for the foreseeable future; possibly they will be annexed officially at some point, like the Crimea and probably Donbas. Sweden would probably still be neutral if it hadn't given up its nuclear weapons; it seems to be at significant risk of being invaded by Russia again (it was invaded in the 18th century and again in the 19th), which is why it joined NATO in March. That, in turn, puts it at great risk of going to war this decade even if it doesn't get invaded, for the first time in 200 years.

It's unclear if Belarus and Kazakhstan really had nukes in the first place such that they could "give them up"—as with Ukraine, the nukes stationed there were Soviet nukes, controlled by Moscow.

South Africa does seem to be doing okay, though. It's not that likely to be invaded by Zimbabwe, and since the end of apartheid, a civil war is looking increasingly unlikely.

AI and Constitutional Interpretation: The Law of Conservation of Judgment
Perhaps.

I was trying to reason it out, you have the thermal mass of the heat exchanger material, that you aren't going to be able to tune to every temp differential.

at the start of the cycle, it may be very efficient, but at the end of the cycle where the heat exchanger temperature is going to approximate the temperature of the air, efficiency is going to drop, and that would be happening along the length of the heat exchanger, so by the end of the cycle the inlet would be basically doing nothing, and the exhaust quickly getting to that point (in the best case).

I was starting to confuse myself at this point, so the constant temp model seemed easier to reason about.

Although, having written all this the model would basically be a constantly shortening counter flow heat exchanger? with a thermal mass not necessarily tuned to the temp diff.

So its still going to be worse than a counterflow heat exchanger, at least theoretically.
Honestly i think Palestine is very very minor reason. Some super pro israel politians might point to it as reason but its seems more of a cover. Why? Because there is huge support of palestine on facebook and instagram too. Its probably even bigger than on TikTok. These services have all the same content. If content creators arent already posting on all of the networks then there is army of people/bots who will hapily repost for them.

There's something about the 'album' format as well, you can fit a lot more on a page.
I'm not sure how I feel.

On the one hand I absolutely understand what all people are mad about. Docs are for humans, so LLMs understanding them shouldn't be a reason to reject something as simple as a table.

However, it also makes sense to make sure we not intentionally put things in a format that's bad for LLMs when other formats are available and just as useful for humans.

Personally, one of my favourite uses of ChatGPT is to just throw in any manpage followed by a question. If all manpages had specific sections that an LLM couldn't process I'd be a little annoyed at least.

I mean at that point why not take the (future) LLMs into acount?
