And one tree does 25kg per year. So each person should plant 14 * 365 / 25= 204 trees. Seems very reasonable.

In fact the winner take all / must become a unicorn approach to startups here is probably driven in large part by our inability to block competition from copying ideas. A good thing?

I’ll take that as a yes.

Those are certainly important questions and the answer i like is probably USA shouldn’t meddle in other countries concerns. But I think it is true that at least some of the often listed examples of USA supposedly interfering in democracies

If there really is a risk here it seems quite naive to think some regulations are going to prevent them: Whereas it’s hard to build a nuke at home it’s relatively straightforward to train a model. If a recipe exists to cause havoc someone’

I saw this (now aged by four months) post from openAI on a method of detection. It’s not perfect but there is certainly some signal present. https://openai.com/blog/new-ai-classifier-for-indicating-ai-...

I agree. Nevertheless I’d love to see the USA spend more on research. Many highly skilled people get PhDs here with the hopes of doing academic research but end up having to leave due to lack of opportunities. Maybe the current state is o

I can’t relate to this, as it seems to imply you just don’t believe that really talented people exist and that these people can accomplish things other simply can’t. Doesn’t jive with my experience.

Cool, thanks so much for this info. I only knew the name from scipy, where one of the optimization method options carries his name. Good to learn more … and wow what a contribution.

High crime, bad public schools, and high taxes… sounds like a common set of problems being faced by many us cities.

It’s not surprising that those opposed to this ideology have been most motivated to catalog its excesses. BTW, to get crisp: she and similar others (I’m in this camp) support fair and equal treatment of minorities. What we oppose is the f

Subscribe to Bari Weiss’s substack (free press) and you’ll get an article about this every other day. Her backlogs will give a fairly lengthy list, but certainly not exhaustive.

If the mechanism is not known, what do we know? Since almost everyone got covid, in what sense do we know this is at all associated with covid?

Pretty interesting to think about how the internet has changed engineering. Eg if most things were learned by book in the past, I’d guess that would result in more coalescence around the standard libraries — need enough readership to make

+1 In fact there were many different schools of thought back there both within Athens and across city states. For me, learning about the vibrant debates between them was one of the most fun parts of studying Ancient Greece.

I’d expect docs would have tried giving these patients antibiotics though, just to see what happens. Maybe once the disease catches the bacteria can be killed off but the disease persists.

So you think the liberalism in sf is helping these people and we need more of it? Or do you think the liberalism in sf we have now is not the right variant?

I don’t believe the problem can be solved, at least in full, but instead we have to pick our poison. We must either choose the current dystopian solution, or instead criminalize / institutionalize these people against their will. One

“It’s important to get a grip on what’s going on today and not what was going on in 1985,” Amen. Some don’t agree though. They say we should favor historically mistreated groups because it’s important context. Yet, in higher ed this ofte

This is an interesting example. The wiki said he was worth $200B at his death, while his boat cost $200M when built. When he died it sold for 230M. So in a sense it was an asset, in that it did not depreciate (ignoring inflation). Thoug

The usual argument is you need a metric and a check metric that can catch gaming the first. Eg unit sales and mean price per sale — the latter preventing a race to the bottom on price point.

Sounds to me like he was an elite engineer concerned with how regulation would affect him and others like him, while the regulations would primarily be aimed at constraining the output of lesser beings. He argued that the lesser beings wou
