Sorry, my point was that I don't think the average person understands they're constantly making use of data centers.

As they answer the poll on the data center hosted website, before ordering delivery by making a data center hosted phone call, with the driver getting to their house via datacenter hosted mapping service. The driver hands them their food along with a small Amazon delivery box that was waiting on their porch, delivered via the work of many data centers. They then go enjoy a streaming movie as they eat their dinner, after telling Alexa to dim the lights, and to order more napkins.

It's in the headline "New form of plastic pollution discovered on the shores of vulnerable coral reefs"

"on the shores"

and the "form" part of that headline is literal. It's not a new pollution, just a new physical "form" of that pollution: plastic that would have been floating around on its own instead stuck to old bits of coral that would have been sitting next to it.

Seems intentionally deceiving/alarmist.

> While more research is needed to determine the exact origin of plasticorals — one likely source is beach bonfires

Considering the last picture they have is a bit of plastic (or wax), on top of some leaves, with burn marks, this seems like a logical conclusion.

You might have to wait a very long time for some of the gas to become a rock.

> would suggest just creating a new reddit account under a different email?

As someone banned from Reddit, this violates TOS and (for me) resulted in a ban based on some kind of fingerprint that survives cookie wipes.

You can read code, rewrite the functionality yourself, and sell it, and not be at odds with copyright. Open source does NOT protect against reimplementation. See Java lawsuits.

If you don't want your code to be used as possible inspiration, then you are not actually for open source, and are using the wrong license. The licenses are legal bindings, not moral bindings.

"Don't use any concept found within this code" would be a license that doesn't really fit with any current copyright law, and it wouldn't allow any software to exist, except that made in the 70's.

Yes, and that is what's statistically impossible. They said one cert.

> In this case one cert gets defeated and you go the odds of that number being that low are 2^-384.

> Essentially impossible if it were randomly selected.

You would say the same of any seed I gave you. You've just artificially assigned this number with some sort of emotional importance.

Can you expand on this? How? Any examples?

Is that a requirement though? If the AI used existing understanding/methods (which I assume it did) then there's nothing really "new" there, right? Shouldn't it be possible to get understanding from how the existing methods were used? Or, even knowing it's true, cull an incredible number of paths from the problem space around it, to make finding understanding easier?

I'm not a mathematician, but I've always been able to find understandings from exploring the paths starting from either direction of the conceptual graph that exists between a "problem" and a "solution".

> What does "behind" actually mean, though?

In this case, reading the link you're replying under, it's being able to mount a disk formatted with a popular filesystem. The alternative here is waiting for a human to type this relatively "solved" problem, as a procedural requirement, more than anything.

So, it can easily mean "things won't work in this OS". But, that's to be expected with FreeBSD, for legitimately good (from the perspective of FreeBSD) reasons.

You'll need to wait for Wine to be ported to Windows for that one!

Code was malleable only to a developer with great code comprehension. In my experience, this was actually very rare. I think part of the reason is, you don't get any recognition for modifying a few lines of someone else's code compared to "I created this new library/app to solve this problem for our org!".

I think you would have to go back to more classic genetic algorithm/pet training methods: Iterate through increasing "distance" to the goal. Initially make the goal simple/immediately available, then slowly "distance" them from the goal, with more obstacles/etc introduced between, as you go.

For a homing pigeon, this would be literal, driving further and further each time you release them.

For an agent that you train to walk, this would be flat surface to past some line, then introduce speed reward, then non-flat surfaces, then obstacles, then curves, etc [1].

If I understand correctly, those are single rotor but NOT single motor. This is a single motor design, which is why it's neat. There are no additional control servos/motors.

In that case, the valves/pistons pairs are all independent actuators. The hydraulic motor is more a constant power source for all of them.

True, that was one of the headlines. Now, how about all the rest [1]?

I predict they will, once macOS drops intel support in macOS 28.

> why aren’t we seeing it from the major publishers?

Models are just recently capable of reliably doing this type of deeper work, which is why you're only seeing it now. There hasn't really been enough time to see it. And still, why? Modern gaming on Linux is almost always on accident, with the devs targeting windows, with no thoughts of Linux at all. Seems like it would make more sense to point the AI at wine, to make linux run Windows better.

How is that a logic interpretation? They're problems humans couldn't solve. That makes them hard, by definition.

No, I did. That's the apathy I was referring to. It's an excuse to allow unacceptable behavior, at the expense of everyone else in the shared space, leaving that shared space to be abandoned by anyone who has the means to abandon it.

Cities poll these things. Look up your local public transport polls, to see what others think. If you're in SF, for example, you wont be remotely surprised by the results [1].

I appreciate the correction.

This is literal, partly how the guy down the street, at your local saltwater aquarium shop, keeps supply in stock. This is grafting/cloning from fragments, boring coral propagation, widely done for many decades. It only works very quickly for some coral though (there are over 1000 known).

Nobody involved with any of this consulted a marine biologist with a rudimentary understanding of coral, or the guy propagating it for a living down the road.

How did I know this? I did a report on coral when I was a kid.

I'm actually, very clearly, referring to public transit and the realities of shared spaces that don't have behavioral enforcement, and, in most big cities, complete apathy and blindness to bad behavior.

Or, he has a full understanding that, like everything single thing he's ever been involved with in his career, it's a new tech under development and will, as every measure up to now has demonstrated, improve over time. And, as all tech that has ever existed since the beginning of man starts, has somewhat initially limited, but still very practical and real, use in its current state.

Again, he's pragmatic, and has seen countless types and iterations of tech come into existence. The people expecting perfection from the start have no actual experience with the creative process, engineering or design, and and only want progress to stop (because there is, literally, without exception ever existing, no alternative to iteration).

You can usually be pragmatic but entirely emotional about something specific. Famously, Linus is both pragmatic AND emotional about being pragmatic.

> This incredible new result

Only if you've never talked to anyone remotely involved with propagating coral, including those in the saltwater fish-tank community!

> where Linus embraced AI as frictionless has its been

Why? He seems very pragmatic. I fully expected him to embrace it, with the only concern being correctness and quality.

Tesla is actually a battery and electric car company that makes environmentally friendly cars and grid storage, and is probably towards the top of the list for companies who have reduced CO2 output in the world.

You're thinking of xai. ;)

All of those places you listed don't tolerate a homeless/mentally unstable on public transport. Thats the only way it can work. No alternative. Strict enforcement of public behavior on them. The left leaning policies in all the big cities, where public transport would benefit most, aren't compatible with this requirement. Ours only recently started gaslighting us into claiming they never supported defunding the police!

I know exactly zero people that use public transport because of safety, specifically homeless/druggies. And yes, we all tried. I was an idiot and went with a kid, for my first and last time, after listening to a local, with mental blinders on.
