Surely such a small variable wouldn't change anything about the conclusion. And the method used to calculate global mean surface temperature has never changed either.

Good article. I look forward to the day when Ehrlich’s bad ideas are no longer en vogue.

Do projects like Jumpstart Pro or Bullet Train exist for other languages? Like Go?

Regardless of what did or did not happen the whole thing smells to high heaven. This is analogous to when authorities take your device out of your sight. It must be considered comp…

> Conspiracy theorists aren't going out on the streets protesting the gradual erosion of civil liberties. I love a good No true Scotsman mixed with a twist of ad hominem.

And what about all of the “conspiracy theories” that have turned out to be partially or totally true? Were those just lucky guesses?

Ground beef got a C which tells me everything I need to know about the utility of the system.

Yeah not exactly a novel hypothesis at this point. People have been saying that since the GPU mining heyday.

> FedNow is owned by the Federal Reserve, and not by a bunch of banks. Sorry I have to ask. What do you think the Federal Reserve is?

This is the type of thing I don’t trust the government to act on. The people that would write the legislation have been bought and sold by the same people trying to make movies fro…

Martin Luther also threatened the Catholic Church by translating the Bible from Latin into German. That was the first time people other than priests had wide access to the text dir…

> Maybe I'm old, but I still like to own my music. Maybe. Good idea nonetheless.

> What is a bright kid supposed to do when their parents have a third grade education? What do they do in the current system? Get stuck in a class that can’t move faster than the a…

Neither of you know anything about one another. Perhaps it’d be more useful to ask questions to make sure you have the best information to make a decision with.

Wow you sound very confident in your speculation. Surely predicting the outcome of lotteries is a more lucrative use of your skills?

> The purpose of news is not to inform. It’s to generate fear based on biases and use that to generate clicks and more fear. If done well, it’s designed to create an unvirtuous cir…

> I benefit from regular access to information that clearly is unmediated. No experience is unmediated. There is always an interpretive apparatus attached to perception.

Well, Climategate happened. So there is legitimate reason to be skeptical of dire claims. And yes, I’m aware all of those involved in the scandal were cleared of wrongdoing. That’s…

Interesting side note “boustrophedon” translates roughly into “writing as the ox plows” hence the zigzag.

They lied. That’s what it’s called. Not left out.

It seems like there have been a at least a couple articles critical of Pichai in as many months. Wonder if someone is trying to undermine or replace Pichai.

Engagement is engagement. Ryan Holiday wrote about this years ago. He’s not an academic but has a solid grasp on the practical aspect of how to exploit this tactic.

I’m sure someone is working on adding support for human-like errors in LLM outputs.

That could be a more effective approach.
