Totally I would love this feature. Even to the point where you could use reverse incentives. Pay a fee for having fewer apps. Pay for freedom.

Only short term, as increased prices give incentives to produce things without carbon emissions. Besides, these prices have always been there as external costs. You just never paid them. This needs to stop anyway.

Unfortunately our democracies have a blind eye when it comes to internalizing external costs and executing on policies that might take 20, 30 years to get implemented. It is a process with many setbacks every other election cycle. This is o

This is absolutely the right direction to take. Ambitious programs are hollowed out since voters get angry and shift to conspiracy theories and populist parties to maintain their lavish lifestyle. CO2 emissions worldwide are still growing e

I don‘t get it. The two of you now live closer together, but what about your spouses? What about the friends of your kids?

Better cognition? Maybe. As long as planners contain a single if statement in C++, totally. But sensors? These cars scan the environment with dozens of sensors, much better than what a human can do. Better perception? Yes, although the perc

Absolutely. For example it doesn't say that OpenAI employees can't look at everything you write.

If you use ChatGPT through the app or website they can use the data for training, unless you turn it off. https://help.openai.com/en/articles/5722486-how-your-data-is...

Flourished? Well I read the stray dogs you find there are very young, they die at a young age. Which has made them an attractive study for how quickly their genes adapt. Apparently many of the features that domesticated dogs had from human-

How would a non-Google developer write a browser app that can save its state locally, like Google docs?

Microsoft did this in 2014. Didn‘t hurt.

Those numbers are rough approximations - a query goes through deep pipelines of selecting pages, ranking and refining them in several stepsto achieve the best possible precision-recall trade-off and optimize for clicking through to the resu

Well, Brazil needs to stop producing oil within at most a generation. Or pay for it.

I have found that companies that are owned by foundations are the better citizens, as they think more long term and are more susceptible to goals that, while still focusing on profit, might also take other considerations into account.

If you‘re only 2.5 years in there‘s plenty if time to look for something else. Maybe you have a talent or skill that can get you closer to being happy Try that with 15 or 20 years under your belt and a mortgage and a family… it‘s hard

Come on, under how many rocks are you living? The IPCC reports have it all. Their models include plant growth already. Google it.

The company that runs the DB system (HAFAS) provides this system for half of the European railways though. And, interestingly enough, also for BART. https://www.hacon.de/unternehmen/

Fugue is really cool as it makes a complicated thing simple. The learning curve is a few minutes (provided that you have an installation that works, of course)

For my part (phd in computational linguistics, first classical „AI“, then machine learning, then deep learning since 2014, not working on NLP for the past 5 years) - I thought I would know a thing or two about what‘s possible, and I am st

This is hilarious. The point of a task like a welcome email is that they _take effort_. I can’t help but think that an example like this shows how far Google has become like Microsoft in the 2000s. A bunch of rich, middle aged managers that

Well you wouldn‘t be able to find out if you‘re above or below average then.

The problem is with doing the accounting for this… wouldn‘t we need a separate price for everything we buy for every product on the market?

I think one problem with these models is that they have eye-watering operational costs. I‘m sure that a few years down we will have better hardware, but at this point a query sent to a chatgpt bot is probably 100x the cost of a normal searc

Different topic, but have you ever computed return on interest over 1000 years? Even 2%? It makes it immediately clear that wealth connected with the ability to compound interest can only ever be a short-term anomaly.

I don‘t think it is clear to everybody. What it is also saying is: More money means you are a greater liability for society. So in addition to having greater power you cause these additional costs for everyone - unless we finally manage to
