Yes. The old Boomercon Right actually believed in free speech, equality and democracy. The New Right consider them some of the dumbest ideas ever because we've now seen that they're enough to destroy civilization in a few decades.

So right now the Boomer Republicans are the only thing preventing the right from throwing the left into camps. As soon as those are gone it will be full on white male identity politics and no mercy for the woke left.

The left don't actually believe this because otherwise they'd be doing everything possible to appease the right, but it's true.

I'm pretty shocked that this is the first design receiving commercial approval. I recall having heard about this approach for decades and assumed it was deployed years ago. Guess it's a good illustration of the challenges of working in a marine environment.

Indeed. I recall student group projects for wave and tidal power generation. It was some interesting stuff, some similar to this buoy concept, others underwater sails, and some reminiscent of paddlewheels.

Challenges were not so much the power generation, but transfer to land at scale. and storm survival. Looks like this folk have it figured out, having survived 18.5 meter waves. And in operation 3 years by now. Kudos to them.

Another interesting power generation effort id taking place in the Bay of Fundy. With huge tidal swings there is a huge amount of energy to be harvested. My guess is their main challenge is the extreme tide variations, at one place 15 meters. Most low/high variation is around 10 meters. So we have to deal with bare ground at different times of day, and the rotating time of low and high tide. But they figure they can extract 2500 MW of the 8500 MW kinetic energy there. https://natural-resources.cana...

That puts you on an iPhone 7 at the highest. iOS 15 is the oldest version installable on those, and not by coincidence, also the oldest iOS still receiving security updates. It was released five years ago as of September 20th.

So while you're 100% technically right... You might want to start planning for a new phone before October.

On the whole you're right because we simply don't know how to do it yet.

The GP isn't entirely wrong, though - It's also safe to say more training data is needed. Model weights vs training data follow a pretty clear power law, and current top models are already orders of magnitude underdetermined for their number of weights. Problem being, the current data set being used by the major players is effectively the sum total of all digitally-available human knowledge.

Unsupervised training is the hot new thing, but it doesn't really matter much if there's no more data for the AIs to find on their own.
