Why couldn't it actually be safer since you could have distributed power centers, across multiple motors?

You could also have hybrid approaches - there is space between not being able to glide and smashing your landing.

I'm just getting at it being a different system so some old assumptions can be reexamined.

Bigger challenge than landing is energy density.

Regardless it's a very interesting space.

You can rethink the engineering with electric motors.

The planes you are describing are designed assuming they will be lighter on landing because of fuel. So why design them for take off weight?

Electric motors are condusive of blown wing design for example, and would have a unique landing profile. (The plane can land at much slower velocity)

Edit: yeah they've moved the engine shroud which allows for lower speeds. Given the same runway you would be able to trim vertical speed.

The uptake (successfully getting value put of llms) is probably the bigger opportunity than the models themselves at this point - as model performance gains plateau and converge, the possible margin per token may get close to nothing.

Canada punches above its weight on a research pov, but misses on capitalization. That said I think US market is going to take a massive hit from over investment. Related sometimes Canada's caution is a good thing! (See financial crisis).

On the other hand... The opportunity for the frontier labs is less on research / capital in my opinion, but whether network effect becomes a material advantage.

There is some truth in what you are saying, which makes for the best misinformation.

Canada's fires are largely in unmanaged areas in wild forests not tree farms, suppression was never happening, the increase in fires is due to hotter weather (the north experiences higher increases than global average).

Forest management is more of a contributor in the US (but climate there too).

BTW prescribed burns do happen but they are heavily regulated, not a tonne of them. There were a bunch of deaths a while ago, which increased regs, rightly or wrongly.

Training needs to continue though and I don't think continous learning is solved.

I'm assuming efficiency gains are being delivered - but that's combating growing scale.

I wouldn't mind an annual training run performed by some global academic body, with revenues flowing from private/public customers through to data sources.

Think about it in the extremes.

If there were a billion poodles out in the world, and they caused 10 human deaths.

And there were 50 terriers out there and they caused 10 human deaths.

Which breed would you buy for your grandmother?

For every five terriers out there, one is killing someone on average. I would go with the Poodle.

Nah, There were a string of controversies, expenses, yes, but altering a document (in a rediculous fashion) to remove funding from a foreign aid agency was the largest, speculation was that the request came from Harper because the agency was promoting divesting from Isreal.

Yeah the OJ thing did also resonate with the public, maybe why you are thinking of it and forgetting everything else?

But actually, I don't think she was as bad the party surrounding her.

Eh I saw bunch of comments with bullshit in them from someone that looks like they get all their info from the Toronto Sun's Facebook page.

Bev Oda altered documents, look up the 'not' thing its wild, it wasn't just the 16 dollar OJ, limousines, extra hotel rooms etc...

It's not at all comparable. If I go into a library and get a book on fixing cars, the librarian doesn't follow me around suggesting Joe Rogan.

Kids books from the library don't autoplay a pipeline of incrementingly extreme, dangerous or vapid content.

I don't see the value in the data being greater than the cost of administrating a patchwork of varied regulations across the globe.

The Australian ban, and proposed bans in other countries (generally I only looked at a couple) aren't targeting things like Nebula though, focus is on large scale user to user platforms.

I just checked out YouTube front page in a fresh browser and it's several tiers below Romantasy in my opinion. You may have a more personalized experience, but the front door of Youtube is... nauseating.

The medium matters as well, the audio, visuals, length, like a sleezy, hyper active content casino.

Anyway, I cheer for any friction added to these tech companies because they are doing so much harm, so anything to slow them down.

But I do get the concerns around IDs and privacy (I personally wouldn't provide any). I think regulatory capture concerns are real as well. My preference would be on targeting the recommendation systems, and also making the platforms liable for content they are broadcasting.
