fortunately, you aren't only operating on representations, right? lemme check my Schopenhauer right quick...

the people that want to make sure the AI never gives you any "potentially dangerous information" also want to rigorously control your google search results, and also what books you're allowed to read

And what bathroom you go into, and what your genitals look like.

are these "technological advancements" in storage in the room with us right now? because I'm looking at today's price per TB and it's higher than it was in 2020

did you calculate it with real inflation adjusted price? not the BS numbers in financial media, FED etc. Since 2020 unlimited printer, inflation is not few %.

What authoritative number did you have in mind, oh economic sage?

The correct number would still be somewhat negative (deflationary), as you'd expect. BLS says -8% https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CUUR0000SEEE01?output_view=d...

connectors are bad for signal integrity and GDDR is particularly picky about this

We're talking about ordinary RAM to augment, like a cache.

Not as GPU VRAM expansion.

"repeatedly struck down" means somebody keeps bringing it back

They're proposals by a minority. I'd like to see it go to see chat control go to grave permanently, but I'd also rather not that the democratic system allows for the permanent barring an impossible to define class of proposals from even being proposed. Or do you have other solutions?

I'm definitely for creating EU directives that enhances digital privacy rights and sovereignty to block whole classes of privacy-endangering surveillance proposals in the future. That seems like the best solution to me. It's much better than allowing those proposals to be made again and again until they are passed in some shady package deal. Even if such a proposal is struck down by local laws, constitutions, or the ECHR, once they have the foot in the door, they will only be modified minimally to comply with the constitution.

you've posted this multiple times and it's not actually true. go read the ingredients list on a supermarket burger

You're right, it's more salami, hot dogs and other meat products. But you're right on burgers themselves for the most part.

> go read the ingredients list on a supermarket burger

Perhaps a tangent, but they're not required to list "chlorine" as an ingredient if the slaughterhouse washes the beef with bleach to kill bacteria.

they're obviously trying to steer customers to the monthly subscription instead of the pay-per-token API.

now, the consensus of the commentards on this website, who don't have access to any of anthropics financial data, is that the monthly subscriptions are a money loser!

so either the leading AI company's business dev team is wrong or the Jacker News comment section is wrong, it is a mystery

no, the other such labeled companies are foreign owned firms like Huawei that the government never intended to do business with in the first place

Grocery stores track their customers very extensively and cash purchases are fairly rare. I'm very confident that Costco, for example, knows everything that every member has bought from them since the tariffs started.

Hydrogen is so hard to handle that NASA never really figured it out; hydrogen leaks just delayed Artemis 2 last week. There's been about 70 years of trying to solve these issues for space launch and very little progress. It doesn't seem like it'll be easier trying to do this as the scale of every gas station?

I have done a deep dive here: https://www.mikeayles.com/blog/on-vehicle-hydrogen-generatio...

Short answer, it takes more energy to generate than the energy it produces.

You can do things like only producing electrical power from the alternator when decelerating, ensuring no load comes off the engine, but that would require accumulation as you're not actually burning fuel then either.

But running the numbers on the power requirements, I reviewed one commercially available system (at 12v 14A) and calculated that the HHO they are able to produce is 0.037% by energy going into the engine vs regular fuel.

When presented with 0.037% of the fuel substituted, their 10-15% claim on fuel savings becomes a bit of a red flag.

i meant hydrogen from regular fuel, not from water.

Surely that's a thermodynamic waste? Use the energy in the fuel to extract hydrogen from the fuel to them use the energy in the hydrogen to generate electricity to turn the wheels.

Is there a chemical process that achieves this with a better efficiency than just using the fuel to turn the wheels?

Onboard reforming has been explored and it's not great. The end-to-end efficiency is poor (<50%). It adds a ton of complexity. It requires having a reactor running at over 700°C. It takes time to warm up. It's not cleaner. Impurities like sulfur kill it.

In the end it's only about as efficient as just using a regular diesel engine, much harder to service, more expensive to maintain, and doesn't improve your carbon footprint at all. What's the point?
