If it ain't broke...

Sure, but they clearly haven't "scrubbed all references" of their open weights from their site.

There's a "Download" button for their open models literally two clicks away from the homepage.

Click "Learn more" under the big "Committing to open models" heading on the homepage. Then, because their deeplinking is bad, click "Open" in the toggle at the top. There's your download link.

You could try the EU small claims court: https://europa.eu/youreurope/business/dealing-with-customers...

Vos Savant mentions this, and she's kept track of who did and didn't understand the conditions:

> And a very small percentage of readers feel convinced that the furor is resulting from people not realizing that the host is opening a losing door on purpose. (But they haven’t read my mail! The great majority of people understand the conditions perfectly.)

I've read through this thread, and for anyone criticising the Monty Hall problem, the article, or Vos Savant herself, I recommend reading the original responses by Vos Savant, available on her website on te Internet Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20181118225305/http://marilynvos...

They address every single (meta) concern I've read here.

Little bit off-topic, but I love how probability gets you into phrasing like "the goat isn't distributed over those two doors"

> The current national average (through Q2 2022) of homes powered by a MW of solar is 173.

My guess is that this is still acquiring the email tech, but Notion has no interest in end-to-end encryption. They don't care for the customer base, since those are all with Skiff (partially) for the E2EE stuff.

I'd bet they'll either unravel the E2EE from Skiff's software to relaunch it under their brad, or use their newly acquired expertise to build a Notion Email service from the ground up.

I thought this was a very interesting and accessible talk by the lead of Rust's Infrastructure team about the complexities that come with building a language at the scale of the Rust language. He gives lots of specific numbers, and also reveals some of the plans to deal with future growth.

I think another interesting development related to this space is GNU Taler[0], which has gotten EU and NLnet grants, and could probably hook into these APIs.

I googled "plastic harm", immediately hit this Wikipedia page (linked to relevant section):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_pollution#Effects

It's fairly well sourced. Some examples of harm from plastics, mostly on the environment:

> Degradation (changes in the ecosystem state) and modifications of marine systems are associated with loss of ecosystem services and values.

> in 2019, production and incineration of plastic will contribute greenhouse gases in the equivalent of 850 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere

> For example, in Bangkok flood risk increases substantially because of plastic waste clogging the already overburdened sewer system.

> Marine wildlife such as seabirds, whales, fish and turtles mistake plastic waste for prey; most then die of starvation as their stomachs become filled with plastic. They also suffer from lacerations, infections, reduced ability to swim, and internal injuries.

> When analyzing the effect of polyethylene microbeads (origin: cosmetic exfoliants) on the aquatic macrophyte L. minor, no effect on photosynthetic pigments & productivity was found, but root growth and root cell viability decreased.

But this one's about humans:

> By affecting the thyroid hormone axis, BPA exposure can lead to hypothyroidism.

To be fair, we don't need it to overtake, or even come close to, the entire plastic industry. It'd already be nice if it, and other sustainable materials, could chip away at different uses of petroplastics.

Certainly sounds like you're hyper-selecting to your own biases and ignoring real evidence when it doesn't agree with your personal observations.

I thought that, remapped it, and it turned out to be incredibly easy to swap over. I think it's because it's so much nicer to use.

> How that can support the R&D or future capital-heavy expansion?

I guess if it's showing enough promise to be profitable on its own (workout R&D and expansion costs), Google can probably spare a few more billions.

> EU budget cut by half

I realize this is a joke, but the EU being the EU, it of course does publish[0] information on its translation costs. In 2023, translation in fact is budgeted for only 0.2% of the total EU budget. All costs included, that's €349 million for EU translation services.

> justify the removal of regulation

Specifically I'd say the "refactoring" of regulation. Plenty of regulation around that has correct intent but bad implementation.

> lower quality than real meat

Strawman, no one said anything about the quality of the meat.

> higher cost

Literally the opposite of what GP said?

> those who go to sleep hungry(children)

Weird appeal to emotion.

> plants are fine with being stacked and raised by artificial light sources and finely setup nutrient solutions and whatnot

We also don't even need to do that to produce plenty of plant protein for the world population. Current farming output is way more than enough to sustain us all several times over: https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets

> everything looks like it is in fact published by 8bit Solutions

In fact the store seems to state exactly that in the big primary heading that says

> Bitwarden

> by 8bit Solutions LLC

I don't necessarily want to add or take away from your point, but I do want to note that I believe this is false:

> People around you by and large no longer think it's their duty to help.

GoFundMe raises about $650 million for medical costs each year[0]. That's just one little thing, I suppose, but there are many, many NGOs, charities, religious institutions and unaffiliated individuals providing personal care inside their communities and outside. There's plenty of care that /cannot be provided/ by these organisations, and was not provided in the past by private charities either. Neither could provide cancer treatment or cure a patient with major injuries from a car accident. That's a job for institutionalized healthcare.

Love how simple this is. Let's see how this scales when everyone starts adding their open positiobs!

Hard agree! I think the success of Github's PR system over Git + email workflows has proved itself quite well through sheer adoption numbers.

(I'm Dutch) I don't think this is true. It may have been true in some instances, but I can't find anything about that. Dikes are reinforced using rocks, stones, and tarmac.

A rewrite might simply make it more resilient through changes in the base architecture. However, I know nothing about Linux's bluetooth stack and I assume that it's probably taking into account a lot of those glitches already.

I also love the look of this car. I think the closest thing that's actually on the market might be the Honda e[0], but the price isn't worth it for the limited range imo.

That's a choice you might make for yourself, rather than a choice the state makes for you. There's a big difference.

Your source says Ford's cohort was identified as a local, not Ford himself.

This is a heartbreaking story. I love playing D&D, and I can only imagine how important it is to these people in a setting like this.

I hope the United States joins the rest of the western world and bans capital punishment soon--preferably yesterday.
