I've only ever seen something similar by the British Geological Society in 2015:

Both of these are fantastic visual aids for those with a moderate amount of geology knowledge.

A pseudo-public joint venture model is viable in internet telecoms (eg ICANN), so why not in payment clearing?

The narrative environments described have only been inhabited because they have been useful to their inhabitants. Fluency in the mass media enables the fluent to better convey social signals amongst each other, etc.

Each of these prior narrative environments has featured some abstraction to mask the role of wealth and power in shaping small scale, mundane events (e.g. per interpersonal transaction, per call-response joke).

Any new narrative layer involving person-AI interactions will probably need to find a suitable mask to overlay the basic financial elements to get takeup outside of futurists and the tech-savvy. Lacking such a mask is why web 2.0 forum and wiki models had to settle on an overtly non-commercial paradigm.

We can also calculate at what point we will fill the metaphorical jar and start to cannibalize. We will start using up more resources than the planet produces annually in about 1970:

Take a pinch of the spores of some rapidly-growing fungus and drop them into a gallon jug, one whose walls are coated with nutrient so the fungus can grow as fast as it likes. Suppose you do this one morning, and that exactly 4 days later you find that the fungus has filled the jar and is just beginning to overflow it. How full was the jug the morning of the 3rd day?

It was half full.

Other replies have brought up skepticism and its propriety in this regard but what about the outcome where Copilot, or a similar product, is genuinely the next paradigm with all that that entails? Can we expect a regulatory environment that is more apathetic to customer interests than the present?

I don't think it's politically viable, even before accounting for labor supply changes.

AFAICT this omits a description of the contents of the training dataset or how it was assembled.

Why is Hungary omitted from the list? It is between Türkiye and Greece in economic size and has a history of local imperialism, surely it's a notable contender?

Was there a frame of thinking about all forms of media content as elements of a single category prior to Web 2.0?

It seems like an easy way to test the hypothesis this article alludes to.

There is probably some sweet spot of n between 0.5 and 2, but not near 1, such that the quotient of comment score^n and thread score^n gives good results.

I've not read much about astronomy or cosmology compared to topics nearer to Earth and found this to be the most interesting thing I've seen on wikipedia in years. I'm picking up a copy of Carroll and Ostlie's Introduction to Modern Astrophysics.

Are there any other niche topics in astronomy that I may find deeply interesting?

Most of those social factors you've listed are things that are influenced by base transportation costs, so I wonder if there are similar patterns in other places with gun ownership and varying topography: Australia, Canada, Russia, Southeastern Europe...

The distribution along the basin and range parts of the country are very interesting. Just eyeballing it, it looks like there is a significant altitude component.

Is it just the second and third-order effects of higher transportation costs, or is it something to do with barometric air pressure?

It's a book review, presumably with some intent to advertise the book and its contents. I'd say it's done a good job of that because I've just ordered a copy of the book.

My takeaway so far, not yet having read the book, is that it's indirectly arguing that a new paradigm is needed.

I'm curious about how this general format of social blogging works psychologically.

Do users tend to get FOMO at a similar rate to the feed paradigm that is the industry norm or is it reduced? Do users encounter any anxiety over their tagging styles?

If you're unable to answer that's fine.

I think it might just be the corollary of the aphorism: "If you build it, they will come."

Germany is much cloudier than California and it is also at a significantly higher latitude, where the solar insolation is a lot smaller.

Solar panels above about 50°N almost never break even from a carbon budget POV over the lifetime of the panel once you account for mining, smelting, panel production, transportation and end of life processing.

You can fudge it if you have a location that far north with both a high altitude and low annual cloud cover but there aren't very many of them. AFAIK the only place with good annual solar potential at that latitude is in the Amur Oblast of Russia.

.

That said, all of this applies to solar buildouts in the northern and central latitudes of Europe. Building panels in Spain/Italy/Serbia/etc and transmitting power is a wonderful idea that hasn't seen as much uptake as anybody with green ideas would like.

I'd trust it a hell of a lot more than a binary originating from any other USG letter agency, except maybe OSHA and the NWS.

The films of Don Hertzfeldt, some of the shorter of which are on youtube:

In literature, the genre of nonsense poetry, example given:

> HS2, a train route, has so far been more expensive per mile than the Large Hadron Collider.

I reckon a couple economists could get a bestselling book out of this.

That's a naïve view of intelligence, uninformed by the academic consensuses in philosophy, economics, biology, psychology etc. Additional intelligence, for any agent, is simply additional ability to reason about the world in relation to the agent's preferences.

Intelligence does not create new preferences or erase old ones.

We should be thankful that Betteridge's law of headlines applies here because Germans have a historical trend of coming up with internationally unpopular policies when they feel like they're in an economic downturn.

It's a lack of imagination amongst policymakers that has resulted in this business being treated differently than a hypothetical business selling kidneys for $8k.

Typo, I meant bodily integrity.

If this is approached with the idea that donors must be properly compensated there is a risk of setting up a new sector of the economy, one where people are economically coerced into sacrificing their bodily integrity just to make rent.

Assuming that this discovery is turned into a useful technology, any method of systematizing that technology that doesn't have a mixture of lawyers, bioethicists, sociologists and patient advocates in a policy-making role will introduce new horrors to society, outweighing the gains.

That's what I assumed your typo was intended to be. The question stands.

Posting communities will inevitably try to find false positives, and it'll be fun to see if there are any.

I'm wondering about real photos that have deliberately been shot to screw with normative standards of photo composition, like Weston's headshot of Igor Stravinsky. Another genre of photo that may be flagged are sci-fi and/or fantasy film set candid shots, such as photos featuring an actor (or actors) partially out of costume.

Come to think of it, various photography hall of fame galleries could be great testing suites.

But was that the case a month before the invasion?
