> or an image that gpt or midjourney refuse to attempt, grok is often willing

Nope. But I don't use GPT or MidJourney for image generation (I use ideogram) so you might be right when comparing with those two. But compared to ideogram, grok is more censored.
Now that you mention it, I'm quite surprised that none of the typical fanatical IP lawsuiters had sued arguing (reasonably I think) that the output of the LLMs is strongly suggestive that they have been trained on copyrighted materials. Get the lawsuit to discovery, and those data centers become fair game.

Perhaps 'strongly suggestive' isn't enough.

No, of course I don't. Work time is work time, and personal time is personal time.

It's not obsolete at all. Some people are foolish enough to blend working time and personal time, which is their affair. But lots of us understand the wisdom of keeping business hours separate.
> 10gbps transit at the rock bottom rate costs $600/mo.

So then 300Mb/s transit, which is around the services these incumbent dinosaur ISPs are offering, is $20/mo? And $20/mo is only 10-20% of their large monthly bills? You're basically proving the opposing argument here in the general case [0].

For reference, I've asked my 1Gb/s municipal provider if they have bandwidth caps, and they told me "no" and that they are not concerned with how much bandwidth I use.

[0] The specific case is that most users are streaming video from large entertainment providers, for which the ISP isn't even paying transit but rather merely the electricity and rack units of CDN edge boxes.
According to the paper, this worked because the dielectric change from all other blood diagnostics was negligible, allowing glucose to be measured. Gluclose in blood is around 80 mg/dL. It may be possible to measure other blood chemistry metrics that are similar in concentration at other frequencies, but there’s a lot of blood tests, many of which would probably be impossible - like white blood cell count, anything enzymatic, something whose concentration is measured in ug/dL, or something that has no effect on dielectric properties of the blood. I wouldn’t expect to see a whole blood panel via wearable radar anytime soon, but we may get a few more tests from RF sensing.
Sorry to break the party. A buddy of mine is deeply skeptical, and he is one of the few with a decent amount of peer-reviewed publications about non-invasive blood glucose measurement. The idea to use "Radar near-field sensing" is everything but new and nothing has ever come out of it.

"Breakthroughs" in this field are a dime a dozen: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/liom-cracks-holy-grail-non-22...

In early 2024, I became a victim of a fraudulent online trading platform that drained my account of GBP 50,000. As the Marketing Director at Greenfield Marketing Agency in Manchester, I thought I had a strong understanding of online risks, particularly when it came to financial transactions and digital security. However, this scam caught me completely off guard. Despite my expertise, I found myself in a situation I could never have anticipated, and I was devastated. I didn't know where to turn or how to recover the lost funds, and the emotional toll was overwhelming. After researching different recovery options, I came across Asset Rescue Specialist. From the very first interaction, their team demonstrated professionalism and empathy. They took the time to explain the entire recovery process in detail, ensuring I understood each step before moving forward. It was clear that they were committed to helping clients like me navigate this difficult situation with transparency and care. One of the most reassuring aspects of working with Asset Rescue Specialist was their constant communication. They provided regular updates on the progress of the case, which helped ease my anxiety. I never felt left in the dark, and I could always reach out with questions or concerns. Their team was highly responsive and patient, taking the time to address any doubts I had. Remarkably, within just 14 days, Asset Rescue Specialist was able to recover GBP 45,000 of my lost funds. While I didn't get the full amount back, the recovery of such a significant portion of my money was a huge relief. The speed and efficiency with which they handled my case were impressive, and it exceeded my expectations. The entire process was transparent from start to finish, and I felt like I was in capable hands the entire time. Looking back, I am incredibly grateful for the dedication and expertise of the Wizard Web Recovery team. Their compassionate approach made a challenging and emotionally taxing situation much more manageable. I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone who has fallen victim to online scams or fraud. If you’re facing a similar situation, don’t hesitate to reach out to them they truly deliver results and provide the support you need when you need it most.

Silicon-Based Life May Be More Than Just Science Fiction
without a big genetic assay isn't it virtually impossible to know whether or not the trait (hydrophobia) persisted due to the symptom itself rather than just a correlated advantageous mutation that brought along hydrophobia as a happy coincidence?

if we need to continue the flawed math analogy; evolution has always done pretty imprecise cocktail-napkin math, even if it has been wildly successful at it.
If you want to make things up, maybe don't send it to other people unless they asked for it?
Personally I would not hardcode the discovery process in code but just gave the llm tools to browse the code and find what it needs itself.
Thank you for the resources! I will study them.

FWIW, libp2p also enforces transport encryption, quote:

I think your analysis about efficiency is specific to one kind of implementation of recursion that is not the only possible one and certainly not the most efficient one, or how it's done in Prolog. But talk is cheap so I offer the following as a proof of concept.

This is my factorial predicate in Prolog, tail-recursive style:

%! factorial(+N,-Factorial) is det.
%
% Calculate the Factorial of N
%
factorial(0,1):-
!.
factorial(N, F):-
factorial(N, 1, F).

%! factorial(+N,+F,-G) is det.
%
% Business end of factorial/2.
%
factorial(1,F,F):-
!.
factorial(N,F,G):-
F_ is N * F
,N_ is N - 1
,factorial(N_,F_,G).

And this is its output running on SWI-Prolog and printing out statistics about its execution:

?- time( factorial(100_000, _N) ), format('~e~n',[_N]).
% 199,999 inferences, 0.672 CPU in 1.184 seconds (57% CPU, 297673 Lips)

That will run on the smallest Arduino you can find, or at least the smallest embedded system you'll likely find that runs an OS.

Note that the above is measuring all utilisation since I started up SWI-Prolog, not just to run my code (e.g. 3,441 predicates is all the SWI-Prolog libraries).

If I try to do the same calculation on the Windows 11 Calculator (switch to "Scientific" version), I get the following output:

Overflow

That's on my 64 GB RAM laptop. I'm saying this to show that 100k! is not a small calculation, but it can be done efficiently with tail-call optimisation.

Its a special "kind of fraud and failure" that launched 90% of mass to LEO in 2024.
Also a great way around code that tries to block you from hitting resources local to the box. Lots of code out there in the world blocking the specific address "127.0.0.1" and maybe if you were lucky "localhost" but will happily connect to 127.6.243.88 since it isn't either of those things. Or the various IPv6 localhosts.

Relatedly, a lot of systems in the world either don't block local network addresses, or block an incomplete list, with 172.16.0.0/12 being particularly poorly known.
The points 1 and 2 are why cross platform 3D APIs like those managed by Khronos are "portable", and in some extreme cases have enough execution paths with vendor extensions,

All I’m saying is that there is a huge machine backed my more money than can be reasoned about which doesn’t care about the environment.

It’s been an almost 100 year battle to get laws and business culture to be more mindful.

It’s clear that it doesn’t really work. At best it works, but far too slowly.

The most any small group of people can do is treat symptoms.

I don’t have faith in our ability to solve the root cause in the face of the political-industrial machine.

Just in 2020 we saw crypto explode. An insane money hungry machine that burned energy to literally waste time so that the value of a record in a ledger increased.

Both individuals and large businesses jumped on that trend with 0 care towards the environment.

LLMs are similar in terms of energy consumption as well.

I’m sorry, but I can’t share your optimism.
In my city, there is a GIANT pile of glass sitting on a slab near a landfill. The commodity price of glass is so low it's not worth selling, so they just store it in hopes of maybe one day selling it. I doubt that will happen and I suspect it's just been put into the landfill by now.
FWIW, eBay no longer works like this. When you put up a listing there’s now an option, enabled by default, to require payment at checkout.

This situation may still occur if you are taking offers on an item. In that case the buyer has to pay within 48 hours of the offer being accepted or the listing will become eligible for re-posting.

Formally speaking, transcendental syntax is the successor of the Geometry of Interaction programme (which is sort of parallel to the development of ludics). It gives a new and more general version (or an abstraction) of proof-nets. Whereas ludics is an abstraction of proof trees in sequent calculus.

There might be links or transcendental syntax may subsume both geometry of interaction and ludics but nobody studied the relationship with ludics as far as I know.

My current understanding is that we should distinguish "proof-objects" (a sort of certificate) and what I call "proof-process" (a recipe, a method for building proof-objects). GoI/TS mostly speak about proof-objects. If you know about proof-nets, I don't see them as the essence of proofs behind sequent calculus proofs but as formal certificate constructed by sequent calculus proofs (seen as recipes). The link between ludics and GoI may be there but I don't know. There's nothing written about this.
Given the intraday prices, are there sufficient incentives to stimulate creation of energy storage businesses to sell the excess electricity back a couple hours or days later?

Or have the wasteful idiot cryptoasset miners been regulated out of existence such that there is no longer a buyer of last resort for excess rationally-subsidized clean energy?

Are the Duck Curve and Alligator curve problems the same in EU and other energy markets with and without intraday electricity prices?

Can cryptoasset or data mining firms scale to increase demand for electricity when energy prices low or below zero? What are there relocation costs?

There are two types of slime mold: one that's a colony of many cells, and another that's a single organism: one giant super cell with multiple nuclei. I don't know which one tastes better though, but I do know a recipe for dog vomit slime mold, which is plasmodial, or acellular: an giant single cell organism, not a colony.

https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/slime-molds.htm#:~:text=The....

>There are two types of slime mold: cellular and acellular (plasmodial). During the life cycle of cellular slime molds, they remain as single cells. When an individual cell encounters a food source, it sends out a chemical signal which attracts others of its kind, drawing them in until they form a mass which is capable of movement in an amoeba-like fashion, with each cell maintaining its individual integrity. The fruiting bodies of cellular slime molds release spores, each of which becomes a single amoeboid cell when it germinates. Cellular slime molds are rarely visible to the naked eye.

>On the other hand, plasmodial slime molds start out as individual amoeboid cells, but join together to form a multi-nucleate mass having only one cellular membrane (a "super-cell" containing multiple nuclei). This mass is referred to as a plasmodium and is frequently observed as threads of "slime" on rotting wood. The plasmodium matures into a network of interconnected filaments, which slowly moves as a unit as its protoplasm streams along the network. These plasmodia can be quite large; some species have been recorded to be over thirty square meters in size!

>Also referred to as myxomycetes, plasmodial slime molds are commonly seen on decaying forest litter and rotting wood. They play an important role as decomposers and recyclers of nutrients in the food web. Their diet consists of the bacteria which feed on decomposing plant matter. In turn, slime molds may be consumed by nematodes, beetles, and other larger life forms. In the laboratory, slime molds have demonstrated the ability to navigate a maze in order to reach a food source, and to anticipate the reward of food at a future time after having been fed on a regular schedule at one location. They communicate via chemical signals to others of their kind. That's pretty impressive for an organism without a brain! They can be found throughout the world, but the Pacific Northwest and Mount Rainier National Park provide ideal habitat for these amazing creatures.

>Fuligo septica is a species of slime mold, and a member of the class Myxomycetes. It is commonly known as the scrambled egg slime, or flowers of tan[2] because of its peculiar yellowish, bile-colored appearance. Also known as the dog vomit slime mold, it is common with a worldwide distribution, and it is often found on bark mulch in urban areas after heavy rain or excessive watering. Their spores are produced on or in aerial sporangia and are spread by wind.

Collusion through Common Leadership [pdf]
Common leadership, via the sharing of board members, significantly increased the likelihood that tech firms would not hire each others' workers. This form of 'no-poaching' may have had much bigger impacts on wage suppression:

"It is worth noting that such collusion against workers may have costs beyond just the directly impacted workers in the high-tech sector. Wages and salaries of jobs in one industry can serve as reference points when workers in other firms/industries negotiate their wages. Thus, if high-tech workers get paid less, this may impact wages of other workers, say in finance, which may then impact wages in another sector and so on. Collusion in one sector can have impacts on other industries."
