Isn't it nice when you get nerd sniped by complete nonsense? I wanted to see what amendments would get invalidated using the quoted line of reasoning, aside from the whole Bill of Rights. Using the date of ratification from Wikipedia and subtracting the voting age at the time gives you the absolute lower limit of the age of any voting constituent:

Using the SSA cutoff date of 115 years, we see that the 20th and the 21st are a bit iffy, which isn't so bad because the 21st is the repeal of the 18th, and the 20th is a bit technical, but: women's suffrage is kaput!

That timeline isn’t even close to accurate. Apple was doing quite well in the 80s when Jobs and Wozniak were there. In the early/mid 90s was when they started going downhill (well after Jobs was gone), and by that time they had already outsourced a lot of their manufacturing (computers in Cork, Ireland and Singapore, and motherboards/components in places like Taiwan).

American society is set up around spending money - since it was rebuilt around car travel in the 20th century, simply meeting up with your friends often requires a fair amount of money and time and public spaces have been steadily curtailed or made less pleasant to try to discourage homeless people from using them.

A self-reflected sane person would see how that gesture in that context can be misinterpreted and would have avoided it in the first place. It's not like you can't express throwing your heart out only in this way.

I foresee three big challenges to funding science at the state level.

Shifting to state-level funding would require states to independently raise new taxes. Each state would have to work within the constraints of its state level constitution for levying that tax. Research would no longer be pork. This seems politically difficult.

States would have to either coordinate on which grants to fund or accept a siloed, fragmented system. That seems inefficient.

Institutes at lower-income states would not be subsidized by higher-income states and fail. That seems wasteful.

All that said, it might be the only alternative.

She then chilled out John Carreyrou and The Wall Street Journal financially and legally for trying to expose her deception

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has dramatically reshaped the landscape of creative industries and academic research, effortlessly transforming simple textual prompts into stunningly high-quality images, videos, and multimedia content. Despite these remarkable advancements, generative AI still grapples with significant hurdles when it comes to accurately depicting the intricacies of complex physical phenomena, the delicate nuances of human motor skills, and the elusive nature of abstract conceptual structures. In this paper, we offer a thorough and insightful analysis by weaving together the findings of two groundbreaking studies: one meticulously examining 100 carefully curated prompts that expose the persistent shortcomings of generative models, and another unveiling revolutionary frameworks inspired by cutting-edge insights from neuro-cognitive science, quantum computing, and multisensory integration. We delve deeply into the systematic challenges spanning a wide range of themes—everything from physics simulation and the replication of fine motor skills to optical processing and the generation of meta-concepts—using the widely publicized example of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s left-handed writing as a compelling focal point to illustrate these issues. Our holistic approach blends rigorous empirical validation, meticulously designed controlled experiments, and a forward-thinking multidisciplinary roadmap that incorporates innovative concepts like Neuro-Mimetic Generative Adversarial Networks, Quantum-Enhanced Physics Simulation, and Ethical Reality Anchoring. Through this comprehensive study, we map out a transformative pathway designed to address and ultimately overcome the current limitations of generative AI, with the ultimate goal of elevating these systems from mere pattern replication to achieving authentic physical and conceptual simulation that mirrors reality more closely.

Typically in AI and CS what we mean by "next token predictor" is a system that maximises the probability of the k+1'th token given the k previous tokens. More formally:

P(tₖ|t₁,..,tₖ₋₁)

For example, the original OpenAI GPT tranformer model was trained to optimise the objective:

∑ log P(tₖ|tₖ₋ₙ,..,tₖ₋₁;Θ)

Where n the length of a sliding "context" window and Θ the parameters of a neural net model (here, a Transformer architecture) used to optimise the objectivbe.

> How much does the fossile fuel car industry contribute to these numbers? I couldn't find that information.

Let's try to deduce this number.

According to https://www.acea.auto/files/ACEA-report-vehicles-in-use-euro... in 2023 there had been ~294M passenger cars registered (on the road) in EU+EFTA+UK (page nr 4).

Roughly around 93% of those ~294M passenger cars are either petrol or diesel, so ~274M (page nr 14).

According to https://www.acea.auto/figure/average-co2-emissions-from-new-... the average CO2/km consumption for new cars is 110g.

Let's correct this figure so that it also includes the older cars so let's assume that the CO2/km consumption is 130g.

Let the average passenger car distance travel be 15k km a year.

274M cars * 15k km * 130g = 5.343×10¹⁴g = 0.5343 billion tonnes.

So, only 10% of total CO2 emissions from Europe and 0.01% of total CO2 emissions in the world?
