Google's money printing is based on people telling Google what they want in the search bar, and google placing ads about what they want right when they ask for it. Today people type what they want in the ChatGPT search bar.
- vim on the left half of the screen, a jupyter QtConsole on the right, showing any plots, possibly interactive.
- the kernel on the jupyter QtConsole can be running on a powerful remote host, e.g., with GPU, but the plots are displayed locally
- Focused window is always vim. From vim editing a .py and without ever leaving vim or touching the mouse, one connects once to the jupyter kernel of the QtConsole. Then one can send a selection of lines, or vim text objects, to be evaluated in the QtConsole with a few keystrokes. Code is shown+evaluated and plots are displayed in the QtConsole as if the code sent from vim had been typed there.
One gets the full power of both vim and jupyter kernels with native plots. No more browser based notebooks or other editors with half-baked vim bindings.
Now tips are requested upon payment before service rendered. In front of workers and next customers. Minimum wage subsidies passed on to the consumer through social coercion, and maybe some insurance that nobody will spit in your coffee after you pay (but do the barista and the cook actually know how much you tipped?)
The EU could up their game by recognizing the democratically elected Belarusian individuals as the rightful government in exile, and propose to kick-start EU integration talks with them. That would send a strong support message to the Belarusian people.
Coastal mayors and governors have access dashboard to order nuclear submarines and pay by the hour. Submarine plant comes within a week, plugs itself to the local grid from the shore and electricity flows in. You may want to reserve an instance for a year or the submarine may move to a higher bidder municipality. Emergency cooling handled by construction even in worst case scenarios, no pumping necessary.
Regulations are fine because the submarine plants are not built in your country. Nuclear waste moves out of the country with the submarine when submarine is done powering your local grid. A real-time marketplace lets cities and countries worldwide bid to host the waste for good money.
Alice, wanting to transact, writes down two opposing orders, say buy 1 share of A for $10 and sell 1 share of A $10, plus a signed secret stating which order it actually is.
Other players subscribe to one of the two opposite orders.
Next thing (whatever that means in these blockchains, but after other players have subscribed to one of the two opposite orders), Alice reveals the secret using her private key. This reveals which order it was (buy or sell). Alice then makes a deal automatically with whoever subscribed to that order. The other opposite order is cancelled.
When users share their bills and EOB, provide them with an automated analysis of their bills: what seems weird, which billed items were far above average prices, etc.
This information can be precious when negotiating with the doctor's office, when Yelp/google-maps reviews, or when contacting your politicians about the absurdity of health care costs.
Typing the whole leaked document into a brand new Word file does not require experienced background and would protect your sources against most steganography tricks

I am not so sure the letter attempts to cancel Anandkumar. Although her blacklist clearly went too far, it's quite difficult to find the context that led to the letter (as several comments show in the thread).
The sad truth is that expressing publicly any opinion on diversity/politics/AI ethics is currently a minefield for anyone's career and online safety. It shouldn't be the case and that's how I understand the letter.
The author of the blacklist retracted the list and apologized.
