Thanks, do you have sources for this information? I would really like to take a look at this in more detail.

Can you provide any examples? I’ve never seen this and have a lot of connections to the field. Quite the reverse, in fact.

Green is an unhelpful umbrella term IMO. We need to be specific. Even "low carbon" is vague and prone to abuse.

I'm not sure that's the case. I'm no expert but I believe those entities exist in part to take liability away from us as individuals. It's my understanding that, for example, in certain cases of privacy and security regu

Agreed. I actually made a quick edit to include that, and then saw you made the same point.

It's great that they're measuring but claiming to be carbon negative by purchasing offsets is quite a stretch. It really dilutes the true meaning of it. Also, the offsetting markets are very murky indeed. In many cases, offsets ar

I'm not an expert but I keep reading that bitcoin isn't fungible. Each bitcoin has a unique ID and public provenance, and that there are other coins that are truly fungible, like Monero - am I way off the mark?

I think you were unlucky, actually. I've been playing around with it on and off for a few hours now and sometimes it gets locked into the behaviour you describe, but for the most part it's very standard 4/4.

It's been fun playing around with it, thanks for putting this together, it's nice work. I have a couple of observations: firstly, it's interesting that the Guardian is considered to be dead-centre, while most in the UK would

I guess you have a problem with news editorial decisions then? For example, Fox News have a strong bias running through their programming. Isn't that a kind of implicit censorship of ideas?

Do you have any citations for your claim about EU innovation being bogged down by regulatory capture? In general, I've found that it's more like risk aversion in VC and other local cultural aspects before anything at an EU level c

I had the same experience with it, around the same age. I also read "On the road" far too late in life, and it just didn't work for me.

As well as being syntactically correct, it also reflects the contextual patterns of the tokens used to train it and then prompt it, which is perhaps limited by both intelligence and knowledge in humans.

I'd say that GPT-3 could probably beat a lot of the English-speaking (human) population at producing these though. I've read far worse on social media, that I've attributed to humans authors.

It's worth mentioning for context that they gained power via a coalition government and the Reichstag fire: 'In January 1933, the Nazis apparently had only 32% of the seats.' They really did seize control very quickly from th

While this is true, it should also be noted that distributors have already updated their business model to take a cut of Bandcamp sales. e.g. label X uses distributor Y to manage the process of their tracks in as many online stores and stre

We also need to consider the microplastics turning into nanoplastics. At that scale they can cross cell membranes. We still don't know what that means: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41565-019-0437-7
