Now, Later, and Lasting: Ten Priorities for AI Research, Policy, and Practice
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) will transform many aspects of our lives and society, bringing immense opportunities but also posing significant risks and challenges. The next several decades may well be a turning point for humanity, comparable to the industrial revolution. We write to share a set of recommendations for moving forward from the perspective of the founder and leaders of the One Hundred Year Study on AI. Launched a decade ago, the project is committed to a perpetual serie…

> Taken together, PACER and PRESS would save Pennsylvania ratepayers $252 million over the next five years, create 14,500 jobs, and once again position Pennsylvania as a leader in the energy industry.
Go Governor Shapiro!!

Gov. Josh Shapiro: My commonsense plan for a new era of energy leadership in Pa.
Pennsylvania’s energy industry has long created good-paying jobs and ensured consumers have reliable, affordable power. The coal mines and oil fields of Northeastern and Western Pennsylvania fueled the Industrial Revolution, which powered the middle class and led to the creation of the American labor movement. When fascism threatened freedom overseas,

Social revolution, a how-to by @… (i know, it's NOT a how-to, fool), i loved reading this and was happy the campfire metaphor was not taken to a place i feared, the pissing on the embers before moving to the next campground:
"Social movements have an uphill battle. You’ve survived the initial repression, then you’ve survived the constant one-two punch of repression and recuperation. You’ve survived splintering by refusing to let the more radical elements within your movement be isolated and picked off. You’ve become a full-fledged revolution, combining mass social movements with militant actors who are redistributing property and defending the gains of the revolution.
The final recuperative force generally comes from within the revolutionary movement itself: authoritarianism. It’s Boromir grabbing the ring of power, it’s the Bolsheviks declaring themselves in charge of a pluralistic movement and killing everyone who disagrees with them.
The purpose of a social revolution is to redistribute power horizontally, but there will always be people who say “yes, and I should be given all of the power so that I can better redistribute it,” rather than continuing to work from the bottom-up model that built the revolution in the first place."

Covid is revolution insurance.
Within the next 10-12 years climate change is going to hit the point where the rich will retreat to their bunkers and leave the rest of us to die.
10 years from now ppl with no immune systems left will be dying of paper cuts. Covid will ensure the angry masses don't tear their bunkers apart brick by brick.

"The word is about, there's something evolving
Whatever may come, the world keeps revolving
They say the next big thing is here
That the revolution's near
But to me, it seems quite clear
That it's all just a little bit of history repeating"

This is an idea of expanding 1541 memory (RAMBoard) with a twist.
Extra 8K of RAM is enough to hold a whole track. Last year I have already patched 1571 ROM to read whole track in one disk revolution and use that RAM as cache. 1571 has plenty of unused ROM space, but for 1541 I need more than available 16K.
The idea is to have RAM in $80-$9FFF and ROM in $A0-$FFFF. Maybe that extra ROM space could be used for lookup tables to speed up GCR decoding too.
