For reference the number #1 affected country is the US. It just consumes so much more oil per capita then anyone else and unlike some other countries can't close it's oil import/exports due to logistical reasons.
Generally speaking, static typing is the great enabler of writing bad Python code.
As soon as static typing is introduced into a Python code based, the developers start writing unscalable coding patterns that don't scale to larger programs.
That's weird, because the majority of the propaganda from the 2 right wing parties in the UK right now focuses almost exclusively on promising to stop mass-migration. Its been this way for several years.
What parties say and what they do are very different.
The right wing wants to import cheap labour. That's why they fell out with Europe when European Labour started pushing up the cost of British labour.
non-British long-term immigration in 2010 when the right wing party took over was 498k a year. By 2023, their last full year of power, it was 1291k a year.
Since then its dropped back to 703k, lower than the value when the Lib Dems were booted out of office and the government went full Tory.
This is by far the most succinct, understandable, correct, description of the holographic principle. I don’t know all articles don’t just lead with this.
Oh sure. The parent universe could be the 4D event horizon of a 5D hole. It’s holes all the way up. If you draw little heads on them I guess they’re like round turtles so if this is true the turtles people weren’t as far off as we thought.
Since all the event horizons “touch” at N-1 dimensions I wonder if this is isomorphic with certain forms of string theory? Maybe there’s 11 levels of holes?
BTW this isn’t my idea. There’s papers on black hole cosmology. You can make the math work but no way to test it. Yet?
Quibble: A black hole still has a charge, mass, momentum vector, and spin vector. Which, yes, still vastly reduces the number of states needed on the surface of the enclosing container.
Does that mean that all the black holes of a particular volume have the same interior? Or does it mean that the black hole state is the case where you can’t tell what the interior is?
> Well the density goes down the larger the black hole so the extra states are still missing.
Huh? If the correlation between density and mass is perfect, that means two things:
1. There is an upper limit on the mass of the black hole, set by the volume of the box containing it.
2. The black hole's possible mass and density occupy a one-dimensional space and not a two-dimensional space.
Now, it appears to be true that the (possibly nonlinear) correlation between mass and density is perfect; for any mass a black hole can have only one density. But that doesn't make the space of possibilities finite. It certainly won't make it into a single point. And in fact black holes appear to have three independent physical dimensions: their mass, their electric charge, and their spin.
That's an artifact of it not using A-Z as it's alphabet. What you type gets translated before the AI sees it. The seventeen word the AI sees does only contain three 'e' s.
Is this true? If so, does it mean anything? Sure, it is tokenized in processing (tokens don't really have an alphabet either), but this means it did not correctly parse the problem at all if this is the case.
Reading your comment, I asked it to count how many characters are in the word. It answered correctly: 9. It then also said it skipped an E in the prior chat and corrected it count to 4. It spun for 52 seconds so maybe some Python was involved.
As an American, I don't necessarily want the US to be trusted. I want foreign governments to put pressure on us to stop developing omnicidal AI. The sooner the "rogue AI agents" conversation links up with the "USA is untrustworthy" conversation, the better.
I'm not as optimistic as you are, because a component of the rightward shift is the international collaboration of the respective movements' leaders. For example, US republicans closely worked together with Orbans party and Germanys AfD, exchanging strategies and such. This is also reflected across the media landscape in these countries - when new fabricated talking points pop up across US conservative spaces, it usually takes 2-4 weeks until the same talking points are repeated by many German right-wing media outlets.
Of course these alliances won't survive forever, as these movements have to continually expand their definitions of "out-groups" to keep their core "in-groups" satisfied, since they keep making their countries' issues worse by attempting fixes that are easy, simple, and wrong. But when a movement is built around the rejection of any uncomfortable history or research mixed with a huge dose of anti-intellectualism, it is fundamentally incapable of ever reflecting and learning beyond what the personal gain of their leaders.
Why do you think so? The US funding won't suddenly stop, especially given how much the GOP hates the EU. Plenty of other rich people too.
Unless there are objectively good reasons to expect this we must stay vigilant, since if we gamble on infighting and it goes poorly, the consequences could become horrifying.
yup, but the utter majority of foreign funding that was found in the AfD and the other far-right parties' scandals came from Russia. The propaganda they spout comes straight from Russia. The bot farms amplifying their propaganda are mostly Russian.
Sure, the US MAGA network, the super riches (Musk, Thiel, ...) aren't to be underestimated. But they are breaking apart already and without a cohesive force connecting them, they will be much less powerful.
Sure, so far the funds came from Russia, but the US government has openly talked about increasing their funding.
I don't think that their propaganda is fully dependent on Russia. IMO their strategy was really easy to observe during/after the 2020 election: they do contentious things with barely any justification, then watch conservative social media spaces for explanations/justifications that users naturally share & amplify. From these options, they select ones advantageous to them, and then turn them into talking points. This machine doesn't need to get talking points from Russia! They just need a halfway charismatic leader to keep it going, especially due to my next point.
The bot farms are no longer needed thanks to AI! I guarantee you, they are already running plenty of bots themselves. And since these days most social media & news media companies are aligned with/owned by them, they can easily optimize their approach well enough to become dangerously effective.
I just don't see a reason to feel so safe about them breaking apart before major damage is done. Just look at how genuinely friendly Trump acts towards most highly authoritarian leaders, compared to the way he acts towards most other leaders. I assume they'll definitely break apart after e.g. the EU is broken up, because then the US will squeeze everyone else. But under Trump they're going to keep it up, as far as I can see.
it takes at least 20 years to build a nuclear power plant and it takes another 20 to build it back. it costs a multitude of resources and money to build, maintain and tear down compared to renewables.
nuclear has its role currently but it's not the future.
Long long ago people planted trees where a windmill was to be build. Construction would start 20-30 years later and also took quite a bit of time.
If it took (I dunno) say a year to build one you could pick a new location and plant trees each year.
Seems almost an alien concept but I guess it is a bit like a construction company has to wait for the new powerplant to expire before they get to build a new one.
Yes, switching energy sources takes a while, but the energy system is being completely rebuilt anyway as equipment ages out, so you need to be continually doing this anyway.
None of the actions that countries are taking to decouple from the US happen over night.
The US has destroyed its privileged position among nations, but the effects won't be visible for a couple more years.
