This is nothing but head-in-the-sand, arms-in-the-air, feel-good baloney to convince oneself to sleep well at night.

Guess what happens when you buy a used laptop instead of a new one?

That's right: less "standard practice overseas manufacturing".

Lifestyle change right there.

Buying less, using the same for longer, buying used goods instead of new are lifestyle changes that anyone can make and have an undeniable very clear impact by reducing the amount of stuff that needs to get made. Using my smartphone for 6 years instead of changing every 3 years doesn't mean the one I didn't buy gets sold elsewhere. It means one less sale.
Yip, gotta say I'm extremely surprised - not that it passed per se, but by 9-0?! I wish more of the justices wrote opinions. Gorsuch's opinion was pretty enlightening, but simultaneously even more confusing. Apparently the judges deemed the law of a "compelling interest" and "content neutral" which enabled it to sidestep a "strict scrutiny" of Constitutional appropriateness.

Yet his opinion was almost entirely critical of the arguments that justified such. And it also seemed to include misinformation (unless it happens that I'm misinformed) suggesting that the TikTok app could access "any data" - a term which he himself put in quotes and also italicized - about anybody in a user's contact list. He said it included, but was not limited to photos and personal information. And this leaking of data of non-consenting users was apparently a significant part of the case. I'd be beyond surprised if the Android/Apple APIs bleed any substantial amount of information through contact access alone.

Interesting times we live in, as always!
I assume this comes from the 60GWh figure, which does translate to about 200 flights (assuming energy density of gasoline; in actual CO2 emissions it was probably less since likely cleaner energy was used than for running planes).
Embed video cam under screen, direct eye gaze to a useful portion of the screen with the image people look at: their own.

I've seen ai assisted eye gaze fakery and it's pretty average. Steps into uncanny valley fast.
I have always felt this way too. Our personal choices do not move the needle on fossil fuel and plastics. One could embrace aversion to these out of a sense of sustainability to signal virtue, but lets not pretend it will save the planet. It won't. Restricting aviation flights, stopping wars and minimizing the dirty fuel used in maritime freight does much more. But the world will not do it.
Note, it's still in alpha at this time.

It's often called Kalium internationally. The atomic symbol is Ka.
I think the one case where I'd disagree is when it's a depiction of an actual person - say, someone creates pornography (be it AI-generated, drawn, CG-animated, etc.) depicting a person who actually exists in the real world, and not just some invented character. That's certainly a case where it'd cross into actual CSAM/CSEM, because despite the child not physically being abused/exploited in the way depicted in the work, such a defamatory use of the child's likeness would constitute psychological abuse/exploitation.
If all you do is look at the death count then it's easy to use a number and point against Israel.

Falcons upper stage isn't recovered or refurbished at all. And sometimes it launches the whole thing in expendible configuration more like SLS's use of shuttle engines than shuttle's.

People, especially men, get irrationally angry by even the slightest thought of their precious meat being touched (including here on HN; there are more than a few crackpots over here who promote a meat only or even red meat only diet). If there would be a reason to violently overthrow the gov, this would probably be it; not for the things that actually matter to better or save humanity, but to save their daily meat platter.
I sure hope you aren't consuming Po. It's usually only consumed by targets of Russian assassination.
Angry people are spiteful. I generally find it a lot more productive to get them to understand why their choices have consequences, how the can (progressively!) fix the problems, and watch things improve from there.
I doubt that the people who believe that obese people somehow violate the first law of thermodynamics will be convinced to change their mind now, just because Ozempic became a thing. They will probably just misunderstand how the drug works.

The question for me is, will Chinese people influence American people, or will American people influence Chinese people?

From my point of view, I think that America banning Tik-Tok has been the biggest win for China since they took the bulk of manufacturing.

The contradiction is more clear when comparing the abstract:

> [...] Results: Multiple regression analyses revealed that individuals with higher AIS scores had higher daily potassium intake; potassium at dinner was especially crucial. [...]

and section 3.2:

> 3.2. Association Between AIS Score and Dietary Patterns of Sodium and Potassium
> Multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate the association between AIS scores and dietary patterns of sodium and potassium intake (Table 3). Total daily potassium intake was inversely associated with log AIS score (β = −0.036; p = 0.034). When intake at each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) was analyzed separately, only potassium intake at dinner remained significantly associated with AIS score (β = −0.066; p = 0.003), suggesting that higher potassium intake at dinner may be linked to fewer sleep disturbances. No significant associations were observed for the sodium-to-potassium ratio.
The right solution is a camera either under the screen or hanging in front of the screen. The former is costly and not widely available, the latter is a non-standard configuration that most people don't want to use (because it blocks part of the screen).

Tools that rewrite video to change the appearance of the eyes are disturbing, and also not trivially integrated into the video calls people are already making.

Flow batteries?

Not light weight (for stationary batteries, does that matter) but tick the rest of the boxes
737-800 burns about 3t of fuel per hour. NYC-SFO is about 6h, so 18t of fuel. Jet fuel energy density is 43MJ/kg, so 774000 MJ per flight, which is 215 MWh. Assuming the 60 GWh figure is true (seems widely cited on the internets), it comes down to 279 one-way flights.

There are multiple organizations not registering as foreign entities who route a lot of political spending. Sometimes they are caught, but there is very little enforcement of political spending rules - and there is even more spending unchecked in the open skirting the transfers legally as far as I can tell.
I found this very interesting! Thank you
And that's the early game.

Imagine when AI will be monitoring all internet traffic and arresting people for thoughtcrime.

What wasn't feasible to do before is now quite in reach and the consequences are dire.

Though of course it won't happen overnight. First they will let AI encroach every available space (backed by enthusiastic techbros). THEN, once it's established, boom. Authoritarian police state dystopia times 1000.

And it's not like they need evidence to bin you. They just need inference. People who share your psychological profile will act and speak and behave in a similar way to you, so you can be put in the same category. When enough people in that category are tagged as criminals, you will be too.

All because you couldn't be arsed to write some boilerplate
How effective IYO was Morgan Spurlock (RIP) the activist filmmaker ("Supersize Me", [0]) at trying to educate the general (meat-eating) US public on US meat production, the restaurant industry, nutrition, marketing?

(PS:it's not a dichotomy between strict vegetarianism vs meat 4+ days/wk. Can encourage people to eat healthier and more sustainable.)

If I remember it right, Mythbusters did the "sinking boat will pull you under" and found it was a myth?
Environmentalists and those championing similar causes politically have taken this approach for decades. The result has been a perpetual shift to the right-wing who has no qualms about playing dirty, using fear, anger and other tribal emotions to gain support. Everywhere in the West, authoritarians are seizing power.

Good luck with continuing the virtuous approach while the world goes up in flames. It hasn't worked and has gotten us to where we are right now.
Extremely weak argument. Just because one platform is shut down does not mean the right to free speech is affected. A platform, mind you, under full control by the Chinese Communist Party, who do not allow ANY form of free speech to exist in the country they have under their thumb.
Wow, I really have wanted something like this. Have you spent a bit of work on prompting gpt-4 to get good results? Am curious what you found worked the best for your app
I know data centers are built next to wind farms for these reasons already. We have an abundance of those projects out here in the PNW.
The datacenters I've been in with emergency cooling fans in the walls all exhaust out, not in. Easier to get portable CRACs inside and get a good draft going.
The real shocking information I gained from this paper is that the AIS goes from 0-24 (0 = perfect sleep, 24 = total insomnia) and the study participants had an amazing average AIS score of 4.3 (SD 3.3)! Wow, how well all those people must sleep!

As someone scoring 12, it's pretty bad and I am suffering a lot while trying to sleep and during day time because I did not sleep well.

If my understanding of statistics, standard deviations and the standardized partial regression coefficient are correct, potassium supplementation in the evening only DECREASES this score by about 0.2178 (Beta −0.066, multiplied with SD of 3.3), which is kinda worthless.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
Not just lack but outright apathy and villainizing of these attempts. If you try to tax gas some oil CEO will run a campaign explaining to the working class that their commute will now cost 10% more, which obviously makes people upset. Part of it is that we, unfortunately, can’t actually subsidize car commuters anymore. But part of it is that CEO is going to incur a cost of 50%, as he should, which is why he’s bothering to spend money riling people up.
What is the intended use case for such a processor?
> Willpower is not a muscle, it's a well that fill doing what you enjoy, and clear when used.

I won't negate your experience, since this is such a personal thing, and it's not like we have a rigorous scientific understanding of these things. But to me, willpower does feel like a trainable thing. Doing hard things seems to make me better at doing other hard things. Limiting my TV makes me less likely to compulsively eat later. Working out hard makes me less likely to lie in bed scrolling on my phone. Doing hard coursework makes me more focused at work.

The caveat is that these changes seem to happen pretty gradually, and the gains can be lost pretty easily, just like with muscle.

But being in a perpetual caloric deficit can be pretty rough and can definitely sap your energy. Glad you found your way to a healthier weight.

> rage-inducing profit seekers

That pretty accurately describes Twitter and Facebook these days. TikTok, not so much, which you would know if you had used the platform. (Or, you have used the platform, and you prefer rage-inducing crap, so it continues serving that to you)

The proponents of the ban keep mentioning some kind of nefarious "communist" propaganda, and some kind of nefarious privacy data access, but I've yet to see someone show concrete examples of what that would look like.

My TikTok feed contains a ton of funny cat videos, Europeans shitting on clueless American tourists, OF models hawking themselves, the ubiquitous dance videos, people making caricature cringe videos, and a bunch of viral meme videos. And a lady drinking Costco peach juice.

Where's the propaganda? Not in my feed, that's for sure.

Where's the rage-inducing bait? Not in my feed, that's for sure.

What privacy data can the nefarious CCP access about me? That I like cat videos and memes?
Starred! Am currently in the process of releasing a new app so this is what I needed today

I think people should be angry about that, yes. I’m not particularly interested in tying eating meat to racism or whatever it takes to make people fearful enough to support you.
Thanks so much for the kind words! It means a lot :)
Discovery algorithms are part of client presentation and should be under control of the client, regardless of beign commonly done where the database lives.

From the technical perspective, for things where your view is limited to friends that is straightforward to do on the client. Global discovery using metadata can be done using deterministic searching which condenses the view of the database enough that the client can then rank those results however it'd like. And global discovery from a pure firehose is likely even within the reach of a modern personal computer.

As far as apps taking a copy of data, the first obvious control is that its only apps you choose which have access to your data. And for the general problem, that is the point of privacy legislation - which was taken as a given by the comment I was responding to.

Left as a warning to other birds, no doubt.
What's missing from this type of discussions is performance quantification and scientific attitude. It assumes solid food is indulgence and ultraprocessed vegan shakes paired with appropriate willpower is all it takes to do anything.

Things just don't work that way. Been there, done that. Willpower does nothing. Extra calories around your berry is extra calories around your berry. It's much more worthwhile to think about reducing GHG emission from farming than deceiving yourself into self-harming and projecting your own doing onto greater society.
If it’s pure hydrogen then it produces no smoke ;)

One that require additional work beyond simply feeding the image into the model would be this example which is a mix of barely legible hand written cursive and easy to read typed form. [0] Initially 4o just transcribes (successfully) the bottom half of the text and has to be prompted to attempt the top half at which point it seems to at best summarize the text instead of giving a direct transcription. [1] In fact it seems to mix up some portions of the latter half of the typed text with the written text in the portion of it's "transcription" about "reduced and indigent circumstances".

[0] https://catalog.archives.gov/id/54921817?objectPage=8&object...

[1] Reproducing here since I cannot share the chat since it has user uploaded images. "
The text in the top half of the image is handwritten and partially difficult to read due to its cursive style and some smudging. Here's my best transcription attempt for the top section:

...resident within four? years, swears and says that the name of the John Hopper mentioned in the foregoing declaration is the same person, and he verily believes the facts as stated in the declaration are true.

He further swears that the said John Hopper is in reduced and indigent circumstances and requires the aid of his country.

The declarant further swears he has no evidence now in his power of service, except the statement of Capt. (illegible name), as to his reduced circumstances ...

Sworn to before me, this day...

Some parts remain unclear due to the handwriting, but let me know if you'd like me to attempt further clarification on specific sections!"
Come to my office and tell me how it’s not actually my office because it’s leased by my company from the investment vehicle for institutional investors that owns the building that stands on land owned by someone else again that was stolen by the British anyway and therefore calling it “my office” makes me a fool and a liar and I should just “say what I mean”.
Please no we’ve already suffered enough :(
> Let's take Americans, for example, driving their cars to work.

This is easily solved by switching to EVs. A small-size EV (perfect for personal transportation) is only slightly less CO2-efficient than rail ( https://ourworldindata.org/travel-carbon-footprint ).

I wish the world would ditch public transit entirely. It's nothing but a misery generator. It's far better to switch to remote work and distributed cities.
If there are not many tech staff then you probably deserve more. Unless your salary is really high now.
They weaponized the backend to drive that by injecting in recommendations for that inorganically, or that was something that emerged from having a recommender system backend?
And this is why everything will keep going up in flames - you're not interested in doing what it has been shown to take to get people to support your cause.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter what we think people should be angry about. FWIW I obviously completely agree with you! People should be angry about those things! Turns out they aren't. What matters is the reality we live in.
Yep, this is the real answer. It's also the only answer. The big fiction was everyone getting hopped on the idea that "karma" was going to be real, and people's virtue would be correctly identified by overt environmentalism rather then action.

Fossil fuel companies won, and they won in about 1980s when BP paid an advertising firm to come up with "personal carbon footprint" as a meaningful metric. Basically destroyed environmentalism since...well I'll let you know when it stops.
Could you say more?

Are you talking about comparing CO2 to N2O to CH4 to fluorocarbons, for example?
Foo and bar are often not metasyntactic at all, and often do not have to be substituted for real use. The only problem would be that they're not good names in the domain where they end up.

A metasyntactic variable is a variable whose value is syntax. This most obviously happens in macro programming. A macro manipulates syntax, and so it is on a meta level. Typical metasyntactic variables in macros are names like expr, var, sym, body, initializer, type, ...

In documentation, metasyntactic variables indicate where information is to be substituted, not alternative naming. For instance: "Your network-wide home directory is found at /nfs/atlas/users/$YOUR_USERID." A file system path is a kind of syntax. Symbolic indications where specific, correct forms are to be substituted from are metasyntactic.

Foo and bar are just example names shown in regular syntax, not in a meta syntax that transforms to regular syntax. Made up example names are not meta. Bob and Alice are not meta!

For instance, "The simplest pattern for a C definition is: <type> <ident> = <initializer>;"

Here those words in angle brackets are metasyntactic variables. The instructional text then continues:

"For example: int foo = 2 + bar".

Here foo and bar are no more metasyntactic than int, + and 2! They are just example material. The act of generating an example from a syntactic pattern is a metasyntactic activity, to be sure. The resulting example is not meta though.

As a rule of thumb, the symbols in anything that resembles a grammar rule are metasyntactic. Symbols in a piece of syntax generated from the grammar are not, or at least not in respect to the language described by that grammar. They are an example of the language.

Exactly, regarding strengths of addiction. I don't feel morally superior about not being an alcoholic... it's pretty clear that my experience of alcohol is just wildly different from some of my friends. I enjoy alcohol fine, but I never feel like I'm exercising willpower when I choose to stop after 1-2 drinks.

TikTok is outcompeting its US rivals Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts because their algorithm for choosing which videos to put in front of users is simply superior. Divesting means that they would need to sell that algorithm as well, which is pretty obviously worth a lot more than their US market, which is why they're making this decision.

How is that? It was at surface pressure and then rolled over.
There was a profit motive in all of those except Santa. For instance until the main players in CFCs (which were the main cause of ozone depletion) were able to invent, patent, and market an alternative to CFCs they successfully lobbied against any change. Then they got a new patent, turned 180 degrees, claiming CFCs were the worst thing to ever exist - and made a ton of money after they were banned. Same thing with stuff like asthma inhalers.

When people want to do something, we're unstoppable. But unfortunately that means the good and the bad, and right now polluting actions are incredibly beneficial, and the alternatives are mediocre and not only unprofitable, but generally incur a substantial cost. There's a reason places like the US/Canada/Australia talk a mean game about climate change, yet remain some of the biggest polluters per capita, by far.
Well yeah, you've got to stay angry at the right people at all times. As long as 49.9% of us are preoccupied with hating the other 49.9% of us, it's nice and cheap for the 0.02% to run the show. That's the social media value prop: division as a service.
