Resource extraction for batteries and EV will at its worst casue localized pollution. That is preferable to a high CO2 future that will make most of the global south.

Those are not games that fully utilize the PS5's NVMe-to-GPU asset loading tech. Things like actually flying over a giant open world map without merely teleporting.

Nanite was/is optimized for "next gen consoles" like the PS5 which has now become the current gen consoles. Things like direct NVMe-to-GPU asset loading, bypassing both the CPU and OS, is still early beta tech on PC.

Al Gore strikes me as one of the many boring centrist politicians we have been electing here in Denmark for the past 60 years. Obviously that means he has no chance in the US.

You are concern trolling. The negative effects of lithium mining and refining is completely trivial compared to the increasingly uninhabitable planet that more CO2 emissions will lead to.

These type of questions are not serious. This person already knows it's just a tiny fraction of what a non-EV vehicle will burn throughout its lifetime. Just downvote, flag, and move on.

There is a lot of propaganda on TikTok about how lithium mining and refining is too polluting and only the clever Chinese know how to do it at scale without polluting.

Tech workers in California are outliers. For most people in developed countries buying/investing real-estate is the only way to build wealth. Profits from real estate speculation is the only income that has low taxes here in Denmark.

I can't make GPT-4 generate a wrong answer for many of these. What is the author doing wrong when using GPT-4?

I asked GPT-4 through both ChatGPT and the API and it responded correctly without any fiddling. I keep seeing comments and posts on HN that significantly downplay GPT-4's capabilities. Are people actually using GPT-4 or are they using

In the .Net/C# world library users just expect that the library has implemented both DoThings() and DoThingsAsync(). However that is easier said that done because many of the foundational low-level IO APIs were implemented by Microsoft

It was trivial to make GPT-4 write erotic or violent stories using the API/Playground back in April and May but now they have neutered it too much. Obviously it was always neutered in the ChatGPT interface.

Snowden claimed in 2014 that the 2012 Internet shutdown in Syria was actually done by the NSA and not Assad. The totalitarian dictator apparently cared too much about the free flow of information to do such a thing. https://time.

Snowden was behaving like a Russian propagandist in late 2021 and early 2022. He was repeating Russian lies that they were totally not going to invade etc.

As a non-American I would love if Americans started doing more impulsive footgun politics like breaking up their big tech companies. That will finally give European and non-Chinese Asian competitors a chance.

We Europeans need to wake up. Big tech companies in the US (and soon China) are practically robbing us at this point. The neoliberal dogma that tariffs and trade barriers are bad is economical suicide for Europe.
