I can never really tell, but I hope it's not malicious. When I was in college, a dorm neighbor told me that Obama had said/did something bad. I don't remember what, but it was incredibly dubious. I told him I didn't believe it and asked him to prove it; I'd even accept a Fox News article as evidence. He was red in the face because he couldn't find any article suggesting anything close to what he had said. Looking back on it now, I realize he genuinely believed what he had heard, but he had fallen for well-crafted language that created a new reality. It was so well-crafted, all that remained was the idea he was propagandized to believe rather than even a remnant of the title of the original article.

This same thing has happened to me over the years - I read an article and then it becomes relevant in some future discussion. I find the article (which is hard to find, because I'm searching by what the author[s] wanted me to think, not the actual article content) and read it again, only to find out that, upon a more critical reading, it doesn't say what I thought it said at all! Or the conclusion is much weaker than I had originally thought.

It's pretty amazing to see, though. Weak evidence used to support very strong American propaganda about seemingly weak Chinese propaganda. The goal posts inevitably get moved too - oh we have strong evidence of it, but we might tip off the Chinese! Like, huh? What does it matter if they're tipped off if you're going to force the sale?

I also don't think TikTok was ever a national security threat, at least not any more than any other social media platform. What are (were?) all the DoD recruiters and other military influencer accounts on TikTok like Nikko Ortiz (a counter intelligence agent from '18-'23) doing on TikTok? It was wild to see how during certain recruitment pushes, my FYP would be like a direct view into a platoon headquarters. (And yes, before anyone responds, US military social media policies like being aware of adversaries using social media predates the popularization of TikTok, no need to speculate about them not knowing that TT was a threat, especially not after the first ban attempt during the Trump administration)
How long did it take you to implement?

I never bothered to make a list of the mails I send but now I see it is quite useful to show how well it works. Maybe some data on implementation time would be as useful.
Regarding the immediate effect I am sure your point is valid. But it’s also a bit of a cynical point of view, wouldn’t you say?
People make these statements and pursue these personal lifestyle decisions because of their dreams for a better future - not its immediate effect. Just as companies need a vision to succeed, societies need vision as well. If a lot of people are vocal about something and live it, it has a chance of becoming anchored in laws and so force companies to do the “right thing”. Regulation follows collective values.
Because RSS is "too old"...
I also had doubts, but asked chat and it confirms it’s an issue - including sources.

The issue is that they are often localised, so even if it’s just 1% of power, it can cause issues.

Still, by itself, grid issues don’t mean climate issues. And any argument complaining about a co2 cost should also consider alternative cost to be reliable. Even if ai was causing 1% or 2% or 10% of energy use, the real question is how much it saves by making society more efficient. And even if it wasn’t, it’s again more of a question about energy companies polluting with co2.

Microsoft, which hosts OpenAI, is famously amazing in terms of their co2 emissions - so far they were going way beyond what other companies were doing.

What if there was a website that made it dead simple to work publicly on new compilers and learn from others doing the same?

I don't mean like github - I mean you should be able to see and run code in the browser and learn from others by experimenting with others' projects - everything public domain, and only for compilers ..

many languages supported from the start, and chained compilation so one could compile to a different hobby language that further compiles down the chain and in the last step the test program is run - maybe?
The layoffs and/or pay cuts are coming this year.

I don't see companies keeping large engineering head counts when they can get working software in minutes from specs.

So, I suggest you become better in writing software specs.

Writing specs is safe for the foreseeable future because:

1. There is still no ai architecture that is comparable to human brain other than rot memory.

2. There is no enough data to train a model from such architecture if and when it's invented.

While we're at it, how about 'adversarial' parties within our own country? Why should they be allowed to mislead gullible people?

that's the issue! like an OP i never was able to "converge" the images. for me it is phisically impossible: they are too far apart and never come closer. maybe because i have an astigmatism.

Lots of poor judgement here. Needs maturing. I suspect there's some non-native English speaker problems here too.
Yes, that. But also that these different externalities will have different responses to reduction at scale, which also impacts how effective action on a more "personal" level really is.

For example the OP was talking about plastic. A 2% reduction in plastic waste has a clear benefit, because any amount of plastic reduction is a bonus. However it is not clear that a 5% reduction in CO2 emissions due to Americans driving their cars less will have any meaningful difference when it comes to climate change.

It's completely different to say that the government took the lead in an industry that didn't exist before and to say that it provided support to an already successful industry. Of course, what I said was wrong refers to the former. In fact, the government supports all industries to some extent, so that can't be a label.

If you have an application that does not support RSS/atom yet, you can easily add support with a few lines of Python.

Or use an open source module. Here is a general atom feed generator that I wrote and published under the GPL:

Just 14 lines of Python. And it has been reliably serving the feed for my own website for quite a while now.

Hello Simon,

You mention that

> Google, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon all have net-zero emission targets which they take very seriously, making them "some of the most significant corporate purchasers of renewable energy in the world". This helps explain why they're taking very real interest in nuclear power.

Nuclear is indeed (more or less) zero-emission, but it's not renewable.

Thank you for the synthesis and link to the original article, it's a good read!
Where I have RSS feeds from news sites, I usually skim down the list of titles, read an article (in my feed) if it's interesting, and then move on. I never visit their website, I don't see their adverts, their tracking scripts can't run, and I don't see or interact with their comments.

Which is great for me as the end user - but makes it much harder for them to monetise.
I might have been one of these people, because I was following your site as a bookmark in my RSS reader already. I didn't see any content in your feed so I checked again for a feed endpoint. I found it eventually on your site, but you might consider making it auto-discoverable (see https://www.rssboard.org/rss-autodiscovery). People only have to enter your domain name into their RSS reader then.

That's good to know. The number of times I have subscribed to someone on YouTube only to not see anything from them in years, and then find tens of their videos YouTube never offered is just insane.

So many times I can't find anything to watch on YouTube and it just isn't showing me any of my subscriptions, it's ridiculous.
There are many good reasons to ban TikTok. For example, reciprocity on free trade. Why should Chinese companies get access to the American market when no western social media apps are allowed in China?
> I don’t understand this perspective. It should be abundantly clear at this point that these systems are quite useful for a variety of applications.

LLM are polyvalent. But in most of the tasks they are not the most efficient way to do the task.

Want to play chess ? Use Stockfish or Leela.
Want to do image recognition ? SAM or TinyViT like models.
Want to know if your are sick ? Go to the doctor or at least do a search on the web.

Yes, there is tasks where LLM are perfect for (speech analysis/classification for example). But omnipotent chatbot isn't one for example.

If there were a revolutionary use, we would have a productivity boom. We don't.

Bottom line: The Apple brand translates to double the cost.

Similar specs and functionality from other sources costs half as much. You can pay $130 or $60 for a TB4 certified cable --- the choice is yours.

The question is --- do you actually have a real need for a TB4 certified cable? For most casual users, the answer is probably no.
Because America, obviously, needs their own great Firewall. I don't see any other reason. Also no idea what you are talking about, a country that has values like this doesn't ban random social media sites and propagates them as bad propaganda without evidence.

Yes, read about the kind of things employees of TikTok have to agree to. The summary is that they essentially have to uphold the goals of the Chinese government. They also have two different managers, one in America and a second handler from mainland China.

> Build vs. buy is largely the same equation as rent vs. own in real estate or automobiles.

I would say this is not a valid analogy. If you buy real estate you have an asset. However, if you build something that is not your core product you have a liability and not an asset. You're not going to get more money because you have a bunch of tech you built that you could have bought.
Let's build the greatest great Firewall ever built!
I was just playing around with this problem. I ended up firewalling the SSH port for all but my personal IP, then have wireguard set up so I can use it from within my wireguard network. Works perfectly so far as long as I have my clients set up.

Actually, the option to divest is to escape control by the Chinese government, not to enter control by the US government.
>Great now you moved the target from sshd to wireguard

I definitely agree with your general sentiment, but in this case wireguard has a much better designed protocol. No response to scans, waaaaay smaller attack surface, no deep integration with a shell that needs to be explicitly disabled depending on use case, no pile of obscure authentication options that you need to make sure to disable...

> Outside the boat, Sarah, Hissora and the others who had jumped off eventually found the two life rafts, which had deployed after the sinking. As they clambered on board, they saw the boat's captain and a number of other crew members were already there.

> "There should be some supplies in here," Sarah remembers one of the other guests saying. All the people we spoke to recall a safety briefing mentioning that the life rafts had food and water in them - but they did not, the BBC were told.

> "We found a torch, but again it didn't have any batteries. We didn't have any water or any food," Sarah says. "There were flares, but they had already been used."

> Sarah also says of the three blankets on board the raft, one had been taken by the captain for himself, leaving one for the rest of the crew and another for the guests. "We ripped it up and huddled together," says Sarah.

Absolutely disgraceful behavior from the captain here. This is not a person who should be entrusted with a houseplant, let alone the wellbeing of any number of people on board that vessel.

I have some app/service ideas which all involve "informing" the user about something.

Implementations of this notification mechanism are either spammy, privacy-problematic, or both: (Web) Push notifications, Email, or Messages.

The only solution that doesn't have either of these problems seems to be RSS: Provide the user with (customised) feed link and let them/their RSS client deal with it.

I really wish RSS was less niche and more mainstream. I will "advocate" for it regardless.
Ah nice, thanks for the heads up! I’ll look into adding this soon.
The fact that it's up to the insurance provider to choose what medication they cover is so absurd. Your doctor can prescribe medication, and the insurance company can say, "Nah, we choose not to cover that. And we don't cover the generic versions either!"

It's so shitty when you have to change insurance plans, and then get stuck holding the bill for medication that you were taking, but is no longer covered under your new plan -- especially for weight loss drugs that don't seem to be even like 80% covered under any plan you can get on your own.

Insurance should cover everything. Period. Full stop. Just because you change jobs doesn't mean you should ever have to change medications.

Anyway, Free Luigi! =P
>If China is so developed, why does it fight for developing nation status?

Because "developing nation" status confers certain exemptions and benefits.

China is ruthless about (ab)using every possible trick in the rulebook to take and hold the higher ground, this is just one such example.
One problem with all these maze algorithms is how they are completely random.

When a human creates a maze, he might start with the solution, then add a few false paths that end near the finish but just fail at the last step. Maybe a few loops are added, or a picture or special features are integrated. Only at the very end, the leftovers are filled in with random data. The process is a design, not a random generation.

Are there any algorithms available that do similar things?
I would be curious why you think the idea of a podcast is coupled to a specific distribution technology
Yeah, I never get any views from the US on my videos even though they are in English.
I don't want to be rude but I don't think that your personal experience is of any interest. The only question is "are LLM relevant ?"

And the only way to assert that they are is to get numbers (big or small) and to compare them to alternatives.

That might be a useful site, but why on earth is it stuffed full of privacy-abusing, invasive advertising? I'm sure there are better sources for the RSS standard.
It's the best option if you use multiple devices and have the ability to self-host IMO.
RSS was a key protocol in syndication a widely free and open web before the domination of big tech/social media. We now have new internet generation that has never known RSS, relying largely on "the algorithm" of the big tech in content syndication.

Thank you for your effort in advocating RSS support. I hope RSS makes a major come back especially with the recent events.
Most people also decided it's a good idea to use browser from an advertising company. RSS is not good for business and it won't be provided.
Getting off this planet is easy without absurd missions like going to Mars. We could build space habitats or moon bases. Going to live on Mars is not an option for us at this time. We lack the biological resilience to do so. I won't even mention that it must be a planetary effort to even have some chance of success.
