Do investors still not care about revenue and profits at a $300 billion valuation? Seems like the bigger problem for them is that they are losing money on the vast majority of those WAUs with no obvious route to profitability because most them will simply stop using it if forced to pay for it.
Several folks here have recognized that the spin direction depends on whether you look at the plane of the galaxy from ‘above’ or ‘below’. One thing I didn’t see in the article is how the two types of galaxies are distributed across the 3D spherical coordinates when viewed from the earth (or rather from the JWST).

Im thinking: what if there are a bunch of massive objects like black holes in certain directions that are causing the light to bend in a certain way. So what would normally be light coming from the top of the galaxy plane, is actually light reaching us from the bottom of that plane. Would this slew the distribution of the spin one way - I don’t know.

Honestly the fact that this murder is even a thing where we can’t agree on how condemned it was is already multiple orders of magnitude higher than the median murder that happens.

This is still a very useful signal if you’re thinking long term society health.
is there any harm in the games if the kids can't spend any money?

that is my solution. i allow my kids to play games, but i am not spending a single cent on them. their accounts never even get the ability to spend money, and so the kids can waste their time, but they can't gamble because they don't have access to money. i know my son tried to earn some robux, but he didn't get far and he focused on games that were playable without. eventually the kids lost interest...

same goes for genshin impact. we even played that together for a while. my oldest made it to level 48 out of 50 by just grinding. money was never an issue because he knew that i'd be firm on that, so he never asked. (i just asked him about that and he found that the benefits from spending money wouldn't really have been worth it. they didn't make the game much easier, so why bother?)

No, sometimes things happen by coincidence. And in the market, where something is always going up or down, there are a lot of coincidences to be found.
That's my point, sorry if it wasn't clear. Non-transitivity is resolved procedurally. We can theorize about Arrow all we want; in the meantime we can write rules that actually do produce electoral results.
Bluebeard is a fairy tale about a lass who marries a guy called Bluebeard and he gives her the keys to his house and tells her not to go into one specific room and that room contains the bodies of his former wives.

I might be misremembering it somewhat, but I believe that's the gist.
I’m with you on that.
Thank you. That's a shame, it was a cool-sounding story, just unlikely enough to sound plausible.

You may have read a different comment then. I didn't doubt this claim, I only asked for more information about it.
And no, one should never be discouraged from doing so, even if a "basic search" (not exactly well defined either) leads to many results.

This whole "do your own research" attitude is not good. It's easy to make any claim whatsoever without any basis of truth in this manner. Good for you if that is enough for you but for me that is not enough, logically speaking.

Just this past weekend I gave up trying to install OpenSUSE on a new laptop. I couldn't figure out which magic combination of overlapping Xorg, Wayland, and who knows what else settings were required to make ctrl:nocaps work both in the console and in KDE. I had FreeBSD running with a X11 Mate desktop, with all my files and software , ready to rock in less than an hour. Only thing remaining is to figure out suspend/hibernate and make the brightness keys work. What a breath of fresh air.

I doubt you truly need the taken-at-location part other than for political acceptability. Sure, it's safer, but taken at location imposes a considerable burden upon the users.

As for ease of access--the experimental data is limited but doesn't appear to show any big effects.

The drug war imposes huge costs, though. My personal thoughts on this:

1) The date-rape drugs probably should be illegal or highly restricted.

2) The addictive drugs should be legal for adults. Experimental data will be needed to figure out if we need to make them prescription only--if a prescription requirement is imposed addiction should be considered a valid reason for a script and it should not involve the hoops that a controlled script currently entails.

3) The stuff that has little addiction potential should be legal for adults, period.

4) No advertising beyond simple price lists is permitted anywhere other than where you know the person has already indicated an interest in the substance. (Thus I would permit a cigarette company to freely tout their products behind a click-through--lots of adult websites do the sort of thing I'm thinking of.) Products are siloed--if you're looking at X you have not expressed an interest in Y. One business can sell multiple drugs but must silo them from each other. Ads can never chase you--once you have left the website consent no longer exists.

5) #4 also applies to tobacco and alcohol. The gas station can sell smokes but all the tobacco-related ads have to go. Many grocery stores already silo the alcohol and I haven't seen tobacco not siloed in a long, long time. (Smoke shops with the cartons laid out are siloed--it's just at the front door.)
Except for particle accelerators. I hear CERN specifically did build that underground. </SCNR>
Well, it does mention Musk, so I guess we have to flag it.
> to ensure no commercial interest could interfere with the paper.

How do they explain their taking ads, then? https://advertising.theguardian.com

There's zero assurance that they could provide that would convince me this doesn't come with influence over editorial matters. It's the same problem NPR has (shoutout to the 'old "National Petroleum Radio" moniker from the invasions of the oughts).

Great business partner providing ... what value?

They're not guiding the user to shop a or shop b, they're

- redirecting the attribution away from the actual affiliate (could hurt shops because their affiliates become unhappy and advertise their competitors)

- automatically applying coupons that decrease the shop's margin.

How are they "great business partners"?
My favorite was the "TYPO II" ("Type Your Program Once") application, which was part of every Antic! Magazine program listing:

https://www.atarimagazines.com/v3n9/TYPOII.html
https://www.atarimagazines.com/antic/

This was wrapper around the BASIC interpreter that printed out a 2-character checksum of each entered code line.

The magazine printing also had an associated 2-character checksum for each line. Your job: make sure the checksums matched.

As a teenager who only had cassette-based storage (couldn't afford a disk drive) and was addicted to typing in programs from Antic! and ANALOG magazines, this was a lifesaver.

(ANALOG's checksum program wasn't quite as convenient, and, IIRC, required a disk drive?)

I can't tell if you're deliberately missing the point, or don't know what due process is, but whether or not he had questionable affiliations isn't even the central concern.

>However, the government will have to prove to the immigration judge that Khalil willfully failed to disclose that information, and whether that disclosure would have impacted his eligibility for permanent residency.

There is a reason we have a court system, and to sort out these issues BEFORE we take violent action against people here legally is entirely the point.

The fascists are using a law from hundreds of years ago that's only been invoked thrice, all while at war, and the last time to wrongfully put the japanese in internment camps, to circumvent due process - that is the forrest you seem to be willingly missing for the trees.
The idea that LLMs have any road to AGI is much like looking at Charles Babbage's analytical engine design and decreeing that the road to creating a mind is, to borrow a quote from Henry Babbage, merely "a question of cards and time".

These guys are based here in San Diego county. I've been watching them for years.

It's good to see some new news, and I think the road trip and report are an interesting update.

But I do think they could have avoided criticism like what we're replying to above, if they had stated clearly how much of the 300 mile day was powered by the photovoltaic, and how much relied on plug-in charging.

I'm not critical at all, and I still want to know those details 8-/

Solar powered daily errands and even a modest commute are totally viable here in the southwest. I work from home, and plug my Nissan Leaf in about twice a week. So that's about 300 miles per week. I could almost certainly do my driving in the aptera without plugging in at all.

The look is strictly "form follows function", it's not intended to be a fashion statement, it's intended to be maximally efficient.

I think you're right, except for the spelling of Lorentz factor.

The equation is on Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_factor

The terms are:
v is the relative velocity between inertial reference frames,
c is the speed of light in vacuum,
β is the ratio of v to c,
t is coordinate time,
τ is the proper time for an observer (measuring time intervals in the observer's own frame).

If we could compare the time as we know it (based on the SI unit of seconds using an atomic clock) against the time at the singularity at the centre of the universe, we could figure out whether we're in a black hole, whether we're at the event horizon, or whether we're outside.

But we would have to assume space is a vacuum, which isn't entirely true.

I think we agree here in general. For me the risk is too high when only one person can abuse power in a meaningful way with little or no check on that authority. I put most executive branch powers (in the US) on that list - the president was meant to largely be a figurehead only executing on what the legislative branch passed and the courts haven't found unconstitutional.

> That's why it's so important to elect people of high character. Most politicians fail this test.

I'd say we have failed to build a system that incentivizes anyone of high character to run for office.

If everyone else is using PPE, but you choose not to wear PPE, there's no empathy to be given. You may think the need for PPE is a hoax, but that's not anyone else's problem if there's a direct repercussion for your actions.

Because they are mentally ill. They need more because that's who they are.

And at this point in time, their biggest risk is not being able to get their desired 7% return yoy. They can't get it via innovation because they are not innovative. They can't get it via fed printing money. They can't get it via general investment.

They can get it by exploitation or by robbing/scamming. See Trump coin or buying elections.

And no, they are not interested in making the world a better place. Their sickness wants just more more and more for themselves.

One of the things I learned from those leaked messages the other day is that the people pushing these ideas publicly actually seem to believe them, because even when they're around other people who might be in on the "con" they're still loudly pushing the same ideas. So yeah, I definitely believe the leaders that are on-board with this are just really stupid. It doesn't take a ton of intelligence to make a ton of money. You just have to be persistent and you have to get good opportunities, which are largely luck of the draw.

That reminds me of a quote from some Perl documentation[1]:

> Perl does not enforce private and public parts of its modules as you may have been used to in other languages like C++, Ada, or Modula-17. Perl doesn't have an infatuation with enforced privacy. It would prefer that you stayed out of its living room because you weren't invited, not because it has a shotgun.

It's not exactly the same situation, but the point is, at the end of the day, you need to be able to rely on the people involved being willing to act reasonable. If you can't, then you're going to have problems.
