The element driving this innovation is Bismuth. Bismuth connects the monolayer material (molybdenum disulfide) with the metal electrode. Bismuth is only twice as abundant as gold and its largest producer by far is China. China also decided in 2020 that their Fanya Metal Exchange bismuth stocks would be used internally for manufacturing[1].

I wonder, if Bismuth is largely required for large scale production of chips in the future, if it will drive more mining for bismuth, as it typically is a byproduct of other metal extraction, particularly lead. If not, would we then see in an increase in the price of Bismuth? Or is the volume of bismuth required for these chips not enough to drive global price increases?

The outrage pieces are only a slice of things that engage people. People can be engaged by things that amuse and entertain, things that inform, as well and those kinds of things make their way to trending frequently.

Twitter feels more like a multi faceted vehicle, where cancel culture and outrage culture are well represented pieces of the bigger media machine.

I don’t know if there is anyone that knows for sure if it is possible to create an AI sophisticated enough to detect skilled professional acting.

Though, if we allow our imaginations to take off a bit, one could imagine an AI that can represent the entire mental state of an individual in itself and probe it to determine if you’re acting while you’re acting in front of the AI.

We already have segments of the population who have to deal with various forms of addiction and dehumanization and this has not stopped us in the development of new medications and technologies.

Should we prevent the development of this technology due to its potential for abuse? Should we develop the technology for its potential to benefit ourselves?

Obviously brain implants that can read and write thoughts come with an extraordinary amount of power and it is both wonderful and terrifying to imagine the potential benefits and dangers that it could provide us.

I think we will do what we have done through history and someone somewhere will develop the technology if it is possible eventually regardless of our qualms with its potential to destroy people.

On the other side of this, some people require external emotional regulation because their brains fail to do so for them and take medication for it. So having this as a treatment option isn’t necessarily something we should avoid pursuing for cases where medication isn’t an option for whatever reason.

If you can avoid it, simply don’t give anyone your phone number. Then you can use security keys, hardware keys and recovery codes. Obviously some places require a phone number, but for those that don’t, avoid giving them one.

This is false. There are many other one party consent states. See https://recordinglaw.com/united-states-recording-laws/one-pa... for more info.

Some ML algorithms certainly can fall within the category of a narrow AI, as they perform exceptionally well on tasks in a narrow band of functionality.

Would there be a way to demonstrate that this hurt your growth and could you seek damages for this, despite the terms of service?

And if this is actually a pattern with the Google Play Store, couldn’t someone design an elaborate set of traps to demonstrate this in Court?

I don’t believe fun conversations are mutually exclusive with secure communications. You can have fun conversations with them being secure from prying eyes.

Facebook, the government, twitter, they all already arbitrate what speech is/isn’t protected. In the case of twitter/facebook, it’s the digital public square and the government is in the physical public square, for now.

One problem with this is that people do not have as much potential recourse through Facebook and Twitter as they might through the courts.

The penalties are different too. You might be facing a ban from Fb/twitter instead of prison time/fines from the courts.

Having skepticism in the arbiters of what is/isn’t protected speech is critical. We should be skeptical of them and challenge them if we think they are wrong. Organizations, like the ACLU, exist for this reason, to protect our rights.

Maybe locally networked is what they meant

The best solution from my perspective for the community would be to have a standard that handles issues/prs and the like that could be taken from one code hosting solution to another. Just like how you can take your code with ease from one solution to the next by cloning.

It’s the same idea that we already use for our code but applied to all the other bits that are necessary for maintaining projects.

There are some pretty obvious problems with actually implementing this, however. One of which comes down to getting all the existing code hosting solutions to agree on a standard. As they could simply create ancillary standards to differentiate thenselves. Not to mention all the work involved in implementing this when most people are accepting of what we have now (until it bites them somehow).

Are there any existing FOSS tools that let you do a similar thing to what Excel does in the data layer but with Julia (or another programming language)?

i.e. I’m in my cell and want to type my Julia right in that cell and watch it live update when I hit enter, similar to excel

It seems to me the hype bubble is centered around things that require GAI to solve. Progress in more general methods for weak AIs has led to confusion about what is possible with current methods.

In the traditional CS sense, the things you mention could all be considered weak AI.

I predict as we continue to transition to stronger AIs with more advanced capabilities we will continue to see a shift in what people think of as “AI”.

Would we be able to democratize these large ML models using something like SETI@Home or similar? Would more research in distributing models across large networks be useful? Has research on this topic been done?

I agree with this, we should allow our cats to be outside. However, I do not think we should allow domestic cats to roam wherever they please. We should let them roam in a somewhat controlled manner.

Additionally, feral cats are awful for native bird and small mammal populations. Your cat will probably hunt and eat small mammals and birds if you let it roam freely.

Coding is not the only thing required to be an excellent developer and contributor to your team and company. Sometimes you must gather requirements from users / customers. Sometimes you have to work with other teams or products to integrate them into your product.

There’s also the aspect of working with the rest of your team on whatever problems you are solving and not siloing yourself to just the problems you’re working on.

That and when you’re hit with new and interesting problems that have never been solved before, you cannot look those up in the leetcode manual and memorize them to solve. You have to actually create something on your own and apply whatever you’ve learned from programming in the past.

It’s like playing a survival video game with the detailed how-to always at your fingertips versus being in the wilderness having to survive on your own wits without a guide.

Would having 6000 false positives be okay for being able to find the 1000 true positives?

Would further testing be able to show whether or not there is actually cancer?

Maybe they will be able to improve the accuracy of the test enough where the false positive rate of the test is <<5%...

I found the app to be gorgeous and well designed. Very smooth. I would go as far as considering this over JIRA.

Only thing I’m not really keen on is the sign in with the google account. I’d rather pay to have an account than have to sign up with google.

Sign in with regular email doesn’t really work either, because it never gives you a way to create a password, it just sends a code to your email. If I want to login from a different computer with same email, I can’t unless I sign in with a google account.

Why does it seem more likely?

Part of the problem of systemic racism is lack of representation. If you aren’t getting representation for your community then your issues are less likely to be addressed.

Why can’t he feel a sense of moral obligation to have members of our community be represented in seats of power?

Large software companies already do this and have offices internationally.

Grokking being beyond understanding something is central to Valentine Michael Smiths understanding of the world, and therefore the plot, in “Stranger in a Strange Land”.

Grok is not simply understanding or knowing a thing, it’s knowing that thing so well and all the things related to that thing, and understanding all of your feelings associated with that thing, that it becomes a part of you. At least, that was my interpretation of it.

Heinlein’s explanation and exposition is more detailed in the actual book. If you have not read it, highly recommended.

It seems apparent that the government could’ve distributed these loans to qualifying businesses if they wanted to. The government was able to distribute individual checks to people. It does not seem far fetched to extend this to business accounts.

Maybe someone else can describe technical blockers as to why the government couldn’t have done this. It seems mostly political.

I’ve had success doing somewhat the opposite. I usually am not fully awake until 9/10 am, even when I wake up at 7:30/8. So I do my light admin stuff in the morning, eat lunch (I eat lunch at 11:30 usually), go on a walk or do something not work, and then do 2-4 hours of intensive work.

Shock is a noun, as well as a verb.

> No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

It seems to me that it states “with another State”, as in a capital S State or a member State of the United States. Then explicitly calls out as another option, “or with a foreign power”.

Furthermore, the title of Article I, Section 10 of the US Constitution is “Powers Prohibited of States”.

A lot of people won’t like this. I personally really enjoy some of the local restaurants in my area. The uniqueness of their food and aesthetic is something you can’t get anywhere else. Even close approximations aren’t the same.

So, with loss of small business, we lose access to certain unique perspectives of how those kinds of businesses should be run. We lose the character that those businesses add to our cities and towns. Furthermore, there is an economic cost to the loss of those businesses for our cities and towns.

If it’s better for tech, it doesn’t mean that it’s better for humanity.

It would be interesting to train the 3D Designer on more classes. Then have the text generated from something like AI Dungeon 2 feed into it and see what 3D designs it generates.
