If it is as described, won't it harm turtles in the same way plastic straws do? That is, after all, why paper straws became popular following that viral video that went around. Poor structural integrity was the desirable trait they offered.
What do you mean it was widely overstated? It is held by the mainstream news as the driver of paper straw adoption. It is not like people gave up on plastics in general over concern for the environment, it was only straws specifically.
I think you misread my comment. The worry that turtles were having widespread injuries due to plastic straws was overstated. It started with a viral video. There's no evidence that was anything other than a freak accident.
That's not to say plastics are good, or that marine life aren't affected by them. Clearly they are. Straws are a small factor in that, and I was simply stating that a cellulose based straw that degrades in the ocean is not going to impact turtles, certainly not more than the few rare instances plastic straws harmed them.
Then you misunderstand the situation. People didn't start flocking to paper straws because they actually pose a widespread threat to turtles. It was only done so under feeling good about the idea of helping turtles avoid the hypothetical fate shown in said video. In order to achieve that goal in maintaining the idea of helping turtles, it is necessary for the straws to have poor structural integrity.
Granted, I expect the novelty has already started to wear off. There seems to be growing movement towards returning to plastic straws. And fair enough. You can only worry about turtles for so long before the next viral video gives you something new to worry about. And for that reason, plastic straws may no longer need a replacement (from the irrational human emotion point of view).
A surprising number of things are Turing-complete, I wouldn't be too surprised if with the addition of some clever rules, this list was one of them. :D

Some of the best combinations are when either of the parties would absolutely thrive on their own.
Ideally then a merger would be most formidable if it was greater than the sum of its parts.
Things are rarely ideal and it can also be quite formidable when it's only equal to the sum of its parts.
Or even "less-than-equal" if it's really affordable, depending on the combined resources, or even one-sided resources.
None of this really means any "merging" of tasks or facilities, or combining business structures, etc.
There's such a huge amount of options and possibilities just from different approaches and levels of equity and cash consideration.
A merger can completely engulf the smaller company, with a logical transition plan to deprecate its separate identity (sometimes for better or worse) and assimilating it into part of an established structured monolith. Or even creating a new monolith altogether in combination. OTOH it can be done so there are virtually no changes to either org up and down almost their entire separate structures, with only a handful of operators at the top adjusting to equally influential changes which are purely in financial elements alone.
This is not completely unlike Ive getting paid in advance to work his magic. Except it looks like he was up to new tricks starting a couple years ago, with sama's encouragement. Or is that more like deferred compensation? If it's going to be insanely great there's probably so much work to do, there wouldn't even be time to spend an extra billion dollars or so, plus that's a lot of money so it would be best to have a better idea if it's really worth spending before you go whole hog too.
A couple years ago it was probably a good bet that something big could come out of a collaboration. And it could really be worth money someday. And that idea is now worth more than it was back then. And as good fortune would have it, sama was on a trajectory to be better able to afford it now for quite a high price compared to what it was worth then, and he couldn't have justified it yet back then anyway. I would think Ive has made progress in the last couple years (without spending exorbitant amounts) that impressed sama more than ever too. Imagine what he could do if he had exorbitant amounts :) I guess we'll find out.
Looks like Ive will have quite a bit of resources to finalize designs and ramp up, plus billions more in equity to fall back on if that's not enough. This may just it be what it takes to launch a mass-adoption physical product without having undue pressure to prematurely issue something with any type of shoddiness.
It's very marmite. I used to hate it when it was vscode's crappy copilot. Now with Cursor and Windsurf, after some onboarding, I find it indispensable. I have used AI for coding for 3 separate roles:
- freelancer
- CTO
- employee
And in all 3 cases, AI has increased my productivity, and I could ship things even when I'm really sleepy or if I have very little time between things, I can send a prompt to an agent and then review things, and then when I have more time, I can clean up some of the mess.
Now my stance is really at "Whoever doesn't take advantage of it is NGMI"
You're specifically very wrong at "LLM's cannot do: following a formal spec in a particular problem domain". It does take skill to ensure that they will, though, for sure.
No, it's more like knowing the strengths and weaknesses, and if the work is good, accepting, and if not good, directing in the right way. The latter may take some time to learn, for sure, but not that much, and once you know, it's faster and faster.

Curious... I can understand that this may be a defensive action, however, feels unenforceable. And in some cases impractical for the user, after seeing this I may keep looking for alternatives for example because it's not clear to me if I have a chat history that has the search results in one of the messages, do I have to have a kind of mechanism to clean those out or something?
