From the article:

>Galaxies usually start their lives full of young stars, which are made mostly of light elements like hydrogen and helium. As stars evolve, they create heavier elements like oxygen, which get dispersed through their host galaxy after they die. Researchers had thought that, at 300 million years old, the Universe was still too young to have galaxies ripe with heavy elements. However, the two ALMA studies indicate JADES-GS-z14-0 has about 10 times more heavy elements than expected.

I didn't know this so I also wasn't surprised by the headline. Although it seems from this quote that they also did expect oxygen to be there, just not as much as they determined to be there. Although I have almost zero interest in space so perhaps this is bigger than I understand. I only clicked on the article because oxygen seems like a pretty simple compound to me and was surprised by the headline. I also think the headline is somewhat misleading due to the point above and how distant the galaxy is isn't the actual the newsworthy point as you say. It is only relevant to the extent that light from distant galaxies reaches earth slower.

The real headline should be something like "more oxygen than expected is created in young galaxies" which is indeed one of those space articles I would never click on.
For those exercising their GDPR right to rectification, my general feeling is that a filter applied onto the model to prevent the invalid output should be considered sufficient here. Judging a system by an incomplete internal representation part way through the computation feels like a bar that essentially all systems would fail - like if someone's record initially has them as 0 years old for a few microseconds before fields are initialized, or if a data structure on disk is made up of a base checkpoint then sequentially-applied diffs.

In a practical sense, for cases like the article's where the error seemingly arises out of random noise (due to relative obscurity of information about the subject) it's unclear to me to what extent that the false claim is really "in the model weights" in any way at all.

In a potentially more philosophical sense, even for cases where it's not down to noise I'd question whether the weights/activations have real-world meaning beyond what they are presented to the user as. If some bool in a user's record is shown on the GUI as "Married" then that's the meaning of that bool. Equally if some activations are mapped to "Insufficient information about John Smith" instead of "John Smith is a murderer" then I feel that becomes the meaning of those activations and weights.

Certainly it means something. Alone it says little but in both previous comments there are other words to provide context and even explicitly communicate that I mean you need to be looking at the tokens and token passing. How the LLMs communicate. The low-level details in how that communication operates.

> because it's one level down

So we're in agreement?

Aren't we after the "low-level"? That's this whole conversation... yes, it is a level down, that's my whole point. Just as my original analogy with assembly being a level down from C. Working at the metal, as they say. In the weeds.

I honestly don't know how to respond because I'm saying "this is too high-level" and you're arguing "you're too low-level". I'm sorry, but when you do stuff at the low-level you in fact have to crouch down and put your face to the ground. The lower the better. You're trying to see something very small, we're not trying to observe mountains here
The economics of desalination can be complex, but the TL;DR is that in most cases it's only economical when there's no alternative for potable water and not industrial/agricultural use (though that doesn't stop some places from doing it anyways for security or too much money reasons, particularly Saudi Arabia).

Desalination also doesn't help inland areas like Mexico city, as there'd also be large costs to pump the water from the coasts - Mexico City is 2200m above sea level.

The only nuclear powered surface vessels left in the US fleet are the Aircraft Super-carriers, and their water is created for supporting itself - ~5-6K sailors and any that's needed for operations (cleaning, steam launchers on the Nimitz, etc).

Nuclear micro-reactors are still a ways away and are probably not a viable option for developing countries - Mexico currently has only one nuclear power plant. There is probably a future for nuclear powered desalination for coastal cities in arid areas, but it won't help everywhere.
This stuff falls well into the category of "people show you who they are" with the current admin and their lackeys
LLMs are, in a sense, compression. Somewhere in that compressed data, this false story is stored. That's clear from the fact that the error is reproducable.

It's not the victim's fault that the data is stored in a manner that isn't convenient for OpenAI to delete. The information is still there, just compressed.

It was originally supposed to be an exoskeleton of folded metal.

This informed the whole design, it would lead to a lightweight, low cost truck that could be delivered with the battery tech available at the time. They highlighted not painting it as a cost saving move at the reveal.

Then they gave up on that idea as unworkable, but kept the look, so it's like designing a bit of furniture around some fancy solid wood steam bending technique then trying to fake it with wood laminate.

It was also delayed so long that other truck manufacturers just used the cheaper batteries available by then to make competitive trucks based don standard truck bodies.

> What's left except for sites to start requiring credit cards, Worldcoin, or some equally depressing equivalent.

Just to say the quiet part out loud here.. one of the biggest reasons this is depressing is that it's not only vandalism but actually vandalism with huge compounding benefits for the assholes involved and grabbing the content is just the beginning. If they take down the site forever due to increasing costs? Great, because people have to use AI for all documentation. If we retreat from captcha and force people to put in credit cards or telephone numbers? Great, because the internet is that much less anonymous. Data exfiltration leads to extra fraud? Great, you're gonna need AI to combat that. It's all pretty win-win for the bad actors.

People have discussed things like the balkanization of the internet for a long time now. One might think that the threat of that and/or the fact that it's such an unmitigated dumpster fire already might lead to some caution about making it worse! But pushing the bounds of harassment and friction that people are willing to deal with is moot anyway, because of course they have no real choice in the matter.

"A key reason for the rise in consumption is its availability and, in many cases, its lower cost compared to drinking water. In many rural communities in Chiapas, access to safe drinking water is limited, local stores are well-stocked with Coca-Cola, and the company's marketing campaigns have ensured that the drink is always within everyone's reach."
Yes, Querétaro state (not the city).

If you check the link in my comment these are not the data centers close to the city which everyone knows but newer ones in Colón.
Evaporating a gallon of water eats about 2.5 KWhr. Buying a gallon of municipal water costs me about 0.6¢, or about 2% of the equivalent amount of electricity. AC is efficient, so say we'd only have to increase water prices by about 500% to make it not worth it to use evaporative cooling.

Your claim is that increasing the price of a basic utility by several hundred percent to prevent a company from using a huge amount of it is a fake problem? That sounds like complete bullshit to me, and I don't even live in a city that's collapsing into the ground due to aquifer overuse.

I don't know anything about water allocation and provisioning in Mexico City, but the article itself doesn't limit itself to Mexico city either:

"It exemplifies a future that cities worldwide could face if global warming and overpopulation continue."

The city where I live is, I'm sure, very different from Mexico City, but we have reduced our water usage while the population has grown, thanks to things like xeriscaping. I imagine things are more difficult in Mexico City because there is less money, and orders of magnitude more people.
Absolutely and that's probably the average case. Now take the hundreds of thousands of other people that have run into issues, and take the 0.1% most extreme cases. This makes up essentially 100% of what you read in the media.

For instance this case actually started when Canada refused entry to her for fear she was attempting to work illegally. [1] The led to a suspension of her "visa waiver" (I assume a visa on arrival scheme) and a subsequent detainment/investigation on the US side which also determined she was working illegally and thus subject to detention and deportation. To say it's an unusual case is an understatement, but all you will read about in the media is unusual cases.

Frankly, in a lot of these cases the site owner (e.g. Razer) has already decided to put their interest ahead of mine by requiring accounts to e.g. configure peripherals locally so they have can harvest sign ups for their marketing lists or tell investors they have XXX MAUs.

It's a false assumption that technological progress happens automatically or even that it's based upon the passage of time.

Progress happens as a result of many choices made by individuals to invest time and energy solving problems. Why is solar rapidly improving now? Because way more people are invested in making it better.

Nascent technologies almost always face an uphill battle because they compete against extremely optimized legacy technologies while themselves having no optimization at first. We only get to the current rapid period of growth because enough people pushed us through the early part of the S curve.
Some key insights we gained:

- The w3c DID/VC stack is dominating the space which sounds great for interop but there are major interoperability problems due to 200+ different DID methods for key discovery.

- We indexed them all and show who uses what.
1181 government entities in 105 countries endorse decentralized identity projects. Often by funding.

- The US, Canada and Germany have the most active startups and projects in numbers.

- Switzerland and South Korea have some of the highest ratio of active projects per capita, indicating there is a big push towards decentralized ID in these regions.

- 63% of Identity Projects which call themselves decentralized use Blockchain

- The most used Ledger is Ethereum, followed by Sovrin, EBSI Network, Polygon, 140 ledgers are being used in total
> Though the problem is that delayed trains are often overcrowded trains.

I've experienced exactly this with Deutsche Bahn trains, but I've been looking at the National Rail Conditions of Travel [1], and there's no requirement that tickets automatically turn into "flexi" tickets, allowing use of alternate routes, unlike German regulations.

I'm guessing a huge number of people being allowed to hop onto the next train instead of just being provided a refund is a huge cause of overcrowding, but I also haven't experienced the UK rail system first-hand in many years.

That's not true, as made aware to mainstream people when the Zizian murders made news.

People in crisis are finding their existential grounding in these emerging belief systems about "the simulation" and other scifi-inspired ideas, are taking them exactly as seriously as novel belief systems from other eras, and are assembling into communities that collectively reinforce their beliefs.

I don't think you can really prevent that from happening, as we see it throughout history and geography, sometimes just forthing in small communities over a generation or two and sometimes sweeping across a whole societies in a profound way, but its ultimately common for "speculating existence" to be both casual parlour talk for some people and an emerging dogmatic belief for others. And that's exactly where we're at with this stuff now.
You might want to check a topographic map of Mexico and exactly where Mexico City is located before being so dismissive. It's in an elevated plain (more than 2km elevation), surrounded by mountains in the middle of the country, ~300km from the closest sea. Also, it's a seismically active place, with active volcanoes, and with highly unstable ground that is sinking.

While desalination is unquestionably a good solution to combat the overconsmption of water in many places, aqueducts from desaliatnion plants on the sea coast to Mexico City would be extremely expensive. And you'll have to figure out what to do with the salt brine.
Thanks for such a detailed response, extremely helpful! I do share many of the frustrations, and hope that you are very successful. I have not yet discovered how to make marimo work for me or my teams, but I'm keeping a close eye on it because lots of very smart people like it a lot.
> Do unto others what you would do unto yourself and all that.

I think that means to treat others as you’d like to be treated when you interact, not actively do to people what you’d like others to do to you. “I know what’s best for you and I’m going to make sure it happens” is a threat to most people, I’d say, and that was my point about regulation enacted by expert groups without public vote.

> An anecdote: My mom has used Apple's Books it since it first came out.

When my mom was fed up with lack of a specific game (can’t remember which) on her iPhone, she switched to Android and hasn’t looked back since. No additional regulation was necessary and nobody was left behind.

> Sure, let's just have supranational companies create walled gardens with arbitrary rules. Nothing bad has ever come out of that.

Only when monopoly was involved.

I’m not against interoperability, but I think it’s wierd to force anyone into it, be it a company, or a consumer, since nobody is in a monopolistic position, and everyone has a choice. When people have a choice they can make it as they wish, and they do, that’s why Apple is not in a dominant position - because people can make a choice.

The thing that’s funny to me is that regulation now caters to people that want a specific device type with specific functionality dictated by government allegedly on behalf of the average consumer.

It improves with time in my opinion. Even the main characters voice changes with time. It's like they developed the show on the fly but it does get better. Obviously with any TV show or movie it's highly subjective and you may still hate it. My favorite character is not even the main character. I enjoyed "Cocoa Puffs" a.k.a. "Root" (Amy Acker) the most which probably explains a lot of my failed relationships. Still looking for the real version of her.

I personally enjoyed it enough to put up with Amazon's weird "Freevee" ads since they did not give me the option to just buy it. The only thing I did not like is the same thing I dislike about most of the shows on Netflix and Amazon is that it drags on really slow. I could have combined many episodes into one, multiple times.
If the sender or recipient has iCloud backup enabled then by default (i.e. without ADP) Apple can read the entire iMessage conversation. And they routinely do, at the request of law enforcement. Since Apple does not allow default-secure alternative cloud backup solutions to exist, it is almost certain that a large majority of iMessage conversations are compromised in this way (with no notification to sender or recipient).

Apple deliberately makes this non-obvious, but it is disclosed here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102651

> Messages in iCloud is end-to-end encrypted when iCloud Backup is disabled. When iCloud Backup is enabled, your backup includes a copy of the Messages in iCloud encryption key to help you recover your data. If you turn off iCloud Backup, a new key is generated on your device to protect future Messages in iCloud. This key is end-to-end encrypted between your devices and isnʼt stored by Apple

And is the backup end-to-end encrypted? No, not by default, as disclosed on the same page. It is encrypted "In transit & on server" with keys stored by Apple, which means Apple can decrypt it. And they do, as mentioned earlier, for purposes other than "to help you recover your data". The non-default Advanced Data Protection feature is required to get end-to-end encryption of the backup.

Note that Google's equivalent Android backup feature has been end-to-end encrypted by default for many, many years. Plus, alternative backup solutions are allowed to exist on Android.

IKEA is regularly mocked for selling junk made of newspaper clippings and chewing gum; but no one would question their ability to design passable furniture made out of the cheapest materials possible, transportable in an average car, assemble-able by an illiterate, with prices that are below their competitors and often get reduced as they find new efficiencies.

Tesla probably takes a lot of inspiration from IKEA; but consumers expect a lot more from a 80K USD car expected to last hundreds of thousands of miles, than wobbly furniture that will be trashed at the first move.

You are doing it wrong; the sum of all accounts should always be zero.

In a certain dumb system used in English-speaking countries, instead of summing to zero, they play games with determining which account is a "credit" or "debit" and have to do the subtractions in the right way. This is for the job security of accountants.

In a sane system, you make external interests (owner's equity and loans/liabilities) negative-running accounts. E.g. if the business has $1000 equity and value of the business goes up by 10 dollars which does not come from a loan, then equity goes from ($1000) to ($1010) to offset that so the balance remains zero. If the 10 dollars came from a loan, then that loan account goes more negative by $10. E.g. loan goes to cash. Cash goes from $500 to $510. This comes from a new loan, so the account tracking that loan is ($10).

equity + liabilities + assets + .... every other account ... + cash = 0

Owner's equity is kind of a loan: the business "owes" that value to the owners. ("Owe" and "own" are related!)

I'm probably not understanding it fully, but the problem in TSLA accounting seems to be that assets they have not been sold are recorded in the books as undervalued.
