From my experience with similar projects, it doesn't get any simpler than creating a virtual environment, running requirements.txt and using a simple function to get what you want. Did you have a problem when you tried running that? Co

So their proposal is to leverage large language models to propose automated, reasonable changes to a codebase that is constantly checked for "fitness" in a particular task. I've always been fascinated with evolutionary mechan

Ok, thank you for the clarification. I see your point, although "as good as Google" qualifies as "enterprise-level" in my book.

The ICOs were the OG NFT's. The whole crypto ecosystem of today is definitely wilder though.

I think they will have a very hard time recruiting in Germany. There is certainly no patience for this permanent crunch, anti-union attitude that seems characteristic of Tesla in the US.

Their Colab examples work pretty much like that.

My energy usage estimate is also based on daily use. And even if we extrapolate it to a 10x increase, 55000 GwH, and it could be available now, we would not even achieve the same levels that nuclear already does just in the US, today. Every

I feel sad when I see replies like yours, because honestly I don't think you understood my point at all. If you combine all the other things you mention here, all of them together, right now, are incapable of addressing even 1% of our

Yeah, it's a great idea. But the problem is the specifics. For example, the electricity storage you describe, do you have any idea of its cost or feasibility? For example, all the battery capacity in the world right now is about 1000 G

Most other energy sources are cheaper - at least upfront. For example, coal and gas are much cheaper, but they cause huge health and climate damage. Solar and wind on the other hand are clean, but they are intermittent, so in bad days you m

I had the opposite experience, I was disappointed to see how some famous cities (Copenhagen and Rio de Janeiro) look really bad with generic buildings. Maybe it's a US vs rest of the world thing, or am I missing any setting here?

I was expecting a more objective evaluation of fact-checkers (ie, how often do they actually get things right or not). The reader is treated to a couple of anecdotes about egregious mistakes, and the implied conclusion is that no one is int

Well, as the article itself describes, there are many decent materialistic explanations for this problem - I personally am fond of Daniel Dennett's interpretation of it.

Bitcoin at 12k in 2017? Really? You should welcome all the nay saying here if you think Bitcoin is bound to go up again.

Could you elaborate on what phenomena are difficult to explain through materialism?

It's not as simple as that. First of all, why pick only 2018, but not 2019, or in fact an average of previous years? Second problem is that 2020 was an exceptional year. People contacted each other less, so we expect them to die less f

Very misleading analysis here. First of all, the obvious: Sweden should not be compared with an average European country, but with its peers. It is richer and has a much different weather and population density compared to all the big count

Flights were five times more expensive in the period you refer to [1]. I would bet that the number of fliers increased almost proportionally. A significant part of this cost reduction is efficiency gains, with better, lighter airplanes that

There were several other mistakes there, but the most annoying to me was this hand-waving between correlation and causation. Sure, crypto boomed during a period of intense QE. There were also unprecedented cash payments for everyone and a b

I'm usually on the fence between gross incompetence and straight out deception as the cause for these proposals, but in this case I'm convinced of the latter.
