Regulation 1 mandates data collection, creating unintended consequences. Now, regulation 2 is required to counter the effects of regulation 1. Regulation 2's unintended consequences are similarly either unknown or ignored. This suggests that regulation 3 may be necessitated and that the trend may continue indefinitely.

In theory infinite regulations would suggest that no one would be permitted to do anything eventually. However, before we reach that point, the cost of compliance will be so high that publishing websites will become untenable.

An equilibrium of regulatory capture favoring large publishers will likely emerge before this point. Those large interests will have the resources to influence regulatory outcomes. Their incentives will include maintaining a sufficiently high barrier to entry while optimizing their own compliance costs.

I'm sure it can do that in many cases. But if the scopes are a bit complicated, and in particular when variables are captured in lambdas, it's just not possible. The semantics require the TDZ behavior. If you can statically analyze that the TDZ won't be triggered, you can lower to `var`, but otherwise you have to keep the checks.

Context is often not the only issue. Really the issue is attention - context is a factor in how well the LLM handles attention to the broad scope of a task, but one can anecdotally easily observe the thing forget or go off the rails when only a fraction of the context window is being used. Oftentimes it’s effective to just say “don’t ever go above 20% of the max”

You make a good point. They may well as admit at this point that curing cancer, new physics, and AGI aren't going to happen very soon.

What surprises me a bit is that they'd take this TikTok route, rather than selling Sora as a very expensive storyboarding tool to film/tv studios, producers, etc. Why package it as an app for your neice to make viral videos that's bound to lose money with every click? Just sell it for $50k/hr of video to someone with deep pockets. Is it just a publicity stunt?

>For those who want a fast to learn

Why would I want something "fast to learn"? That sounds like one of the most ridiculous arguments when choosing a tool to master ever. On the level of "I chose this university because it was walking distance from home".

I'm choosing a tool I'm going to be using for the next 40 to 50 years. Whether it takes a month or a year to learn makes no difference whatever.

I want a tool language which is widely portable, so that I could run my programs without rewriting them on as many machines I own as possible.

I also want them to run as fast, as possible, because I want to run many useful programs on moderate hardware.

I want to be able to use as many libraries and external utilities as possible, because nobody knows when I might need them.

It should also work without internet, because who knows when exactly the government is going to cut the wire.

These core features are what I b would not even consider a language at all. The rest is bells and whistles. Nice to have, but completely optional.

>Two of them in the top 10 for all cross platform

I've never heard about any libraries from that list. In any case they seem like tools to write webpages, not tools to write desktop software.

At papr.ai, we've been building agentic 'RAG' pipelines for 3+ years and tried almost every new thing to enable agents to search info - keyword search/grep/regex/text2sql/bmi25/semantic vectordbs/knowledge graphs/etc.

We validated the obvious thing - the best approach depends on your use case: 1. keyword/grep/regex/bmi25 works best (fastest, cheapest, most accurate) when you know exactly what you're looking for. 2. semantic search works best with unstructured data when you're not exactly sure what you're looking for. 3. text2sql works best when you have a few pre-defined queries with limited joins the agent can use to fetch structured data. 4. knowledge graphs works best when you need to find info across unstructured + structure data that go beyond semantics similarity (i.e. find arxiv reports by x author the discuss novel knowledge graph methods published in the past 3 years but don't mention neo4j).

So - we ended up building a simple add/search api that predicts where the data should come from, and what the user needs this week/today and cache it. It's accurate and it's fast.

A good starter would have been running the keyfob data on a different CAN line than the one going into the headlights... you know, the one you can reach with your hand from the outside.

Then we could also talk about encryption, but at least making it a tad more difficult to have physical access.

Not that toyota is the only one. If you ever notice a car that has a reinforced grill protecting the front RADAR, or the rear lights... now you know why.

I don't see instructions to fork LLVM on the "Integrating LLVM into your project" page: https://llvm.org/docs/Projects.html

You should fork it if you're doing development work like Apple, Intel, AMD, Nvidia, etc because that's how open source works, but it's not necessary if you're using the tooling as-is.

It might be helpful to consider how other people will read your comments before getting defensive next time. It wasn't until I looked at your links that I understood what you were trying to say because it's not the meaning most people are going to assume.

I use them regularly and have never had anyone not accept them.

I have had many places reject $100 bills though.

I’m that weirdo that tries to pay cash for most everything, so sample size is large and across a diverse set of businesses.

Due to what I tend to pay cash for these days (lunches, drinks with a friend, etc.) and prices being what they are, they are rapidly becoming my “go-to” denomination.

California has more churches - but not more practitioners.

San Francisco has four Orthodox Christian cathedrals. Many big cities only have a single Orthodox Church, much less a cathedral. San Francisco also has a many Catholic Churches - most with an ethnic component, not to mention Buddhist and cultural associations.

Most of these are due to extreme diversity, not religiosity.

Diversity isn’t an absolute good.

Having 200 churches, each with 50 members, does not make you more religious than a city with two megachurches, each with 20,000 members.

Surprisingly, this conversation is not totally out topic.

You can try to convince yourself that an elected administration has no actual power to do anything because of $reason (law, how government works, searching to compromise, not antagonizing people, etc), but this exercise in self delusion is not very convincing when the current administration, clearly, do not look like they suffer from the same paralysis.

Like you can try to delude yourself that today is impossible to build great infrastructure because of regulations, maintenance costs, respect for environment, individual freedoms, etc, and Bam! Another country just build it, compliant with the state of the art engineering and respectful of environment without slavery etc. Like they party on your rain.

Icarus drowned in the sea.

Possible, but many concepts and principles are frozen by the age of 30 already.

I have never seen someone which is left on the political spectrum at 30 become a Keynesian by 50.

I know such people exist, but they are the exception.

Personality psychology shows personality does not change much after 30.

And there is even some theories such as the “impressionable years” (15-25) which are even more extreme in that respect, stating that basically very little changes after 25.

Overall this makes me doubt stem cells can change any of this.

But I am myself way past my impressionable years, my mental flexibility is lessened, I may be wrong and not open to new ideas.

It would feel sad though, having civilisation lead by the same people over hundreds of years if not more, somewhat stratified, predictable, dull.

> The one thing I really can't stand about macOS is "Secure Input". It won't let you use something like TE or KM to input a password.

It actually will. The problem is that when secure input is enabled, you can’t trigger a macro from the keyboard, because the daemon isn’t allowed to intercept keystrokes. But if you can trigger the macro some other way, like through a mouse button or a MIDI message, keystrokes can be sent just fine, even into a password field.

> but I do remember seeing at least one in which all four of these were distinct.

None of the major Indian languages I'm familiar with have 4 nasal phones, from either the Indo-Aryan or Dravidian language families.

In the Indo-Aryan languages, the convergence of the various nasals is so complete that they are all often represented with a single "dot" diacritic character when they occur at word junctions.

I'd be open to hearing examples of Indian languages that have 4 nasal phonemes, though.

I've used them all, and they all have their place I guess.

ChatGPT is far and away my favorite for quick questions you'd ask the genius coworker next to you. For me, nothing else even comes close wrt speed and accuracy. So for that, I'd gladly pay.

Don't get me wrong, Claude is a marvel and Deepseek punches above its weight, but neither compare with stuff like 'write me a sql query that does these 30 things as efficiently as possible.'. ChatGPT will output an answer with explanations for each line by the time Claude inevitably times out...again.

Wow. Good for you. A 4 mile run would almost certainly kill me. I think I'd drop dead after about a mile. Cardio is the one thing I'm really not good on, and I have a minor arrhythmia. About 20 burpees and I feel close to blacking out. I want to improve on it, but very carefully. But it's still been possible to lose a good amount of weight without putting a lot of strain on my heart. Still not at my high school weight, though! I was 130. I've come down from a high of 175 to 155, and have a hard time getting below that.

My favorite piece of media is Contact (book and movie).

Ellie is someone I would consider having an open mind. She dedicates her work, at great risk to her own career, finding signs of extraterrestrial life. Despite everyone telling her not to waste time and resources on it. But she does and she does it by collecting the evidence first, and when she got it, double and triple checked it before making the announcement.

Avi kind of does the opposite. He hypes his ideas up first, often taking credit for others' work, without sufficient evidence.

A different lens to view this:

If you benefit from receiving stolen property, does the law force you to return it? One way of interpreting your scare quotes is that the executives turned a health insurer into a law violating company.

Obviously there are burdens of proof and this is most likely not possible to prosecute (it sounds like the health insurer has already shrunk and based on the date of the anecdote above, I’m guessing the relevant statutes of limitations have expired.

That's more than I expected from them, genuinely. But it still doesn't seem like a very solid solution. I wonder how much variation in look and voice it accepts?

My partner likes to cosplay, and some of the costumes are quite extensive. If they want to generate a video in a specific outfit will they need to record a new source video? The problem exists in the other direction, too. If someone looks a lot like Harrison Ford, will they be able to create videos with their own likeness?

I wonder how this extends to videos with multiple people, as well. E.g. if both my friend and I want to be in a video together.

You're right, the numbers are very close to recent official figures. I looked them up to calculate the per capita rates. So USA is actually better than other countries? Kind of defeats these arguments here - interesting. (By the way I’m not from us)

Based on the latest available data (mostly 2023) and current population estimates:

* *UK:* ~56.0 per 10,000 people (1 in 178) * *Australia:* ~45.4 per 10,000 people (1 in 220) [using 2021 census data] * *Germany:* ~31.0 per 10,000 people (1 in 323) * *USA:* ~19.4 per 10,000 people (1 in 515)

The per capita distinction is more significant than the raw numbers suggest.

(Note: Methodologies for counting vary by country, which can affect direct comparisons.)

The Kurzweil singularity vision (which is what popularized the term), as I recall, was of a particularly effective merger between human and machine intelligence as an effective interactive whole (with a resulting feedback loop rapidly increasing the machine side of the capacity so that it predominated in thaggregateat); a machine passing any form of the Turing test is neither necessary, nor sufficient, nor even particularly relevant to that.

> Most people don't have domains, and so their identity will be owned by a third party.

Indeed, and as a result, such users will always be vulnerable to specific risks like sudden bans, i.e. when the hosting service becomes adversarial. The only full protection is to own your own domain off a neutral TLD, with protocols that use DNS to describe how traffic should be routed.

But, because most users don't have domains (as you pointed out), the state-of-the-art can still be improved upon with partial flexibility and protections, when the hosting service is cooperative. This project allows people to keep their Bluesky handle (because they don't own a domain) while (hypothetically) moving their data hosting to a different provider, unlike current Big Social where your data is stuck on Facebook/X/Instagram/TikTok/YouTube forever. Bluesky has an interest in this because it also allows people to set up their own handle and move their hosting to Bluesky.

Sometimes we improve upon the existing state of the art not by delivering perfect solutions, but by delivering improvements upon limitations that we accept as a given (like the fact that most users will not set up their own domains).

Yeah, that’s a really odd take. Git is completely usable apart from GitHub and I would wager that the majority of Git usage happens without GitHub. I personally have far more personal repos hosted on a NAS than anything in GitHub, and while I did work for one company that used GitHub professionally, I can’t imagine it’s anywhere near ubiquitous. Prior to that I worked at a company with 10s of thousands of internal git repos and before their migration to git used a git front end for perforce. Prior to that (and prior to GitHub), I used a git front end for subversion.

I see GitHub as the successor to SourceForge, not a requirement for using git.

Update after more testing: looks like every popular video game prompt (even those not owned by Nintendo) triggers a Content Warning, and prompting "Italian video game plumber" didn't work either. Even indie games like Slay the Spire and Undertale got rejected. The only one that didn't trigger a "similarity to third party content" Content Violation was Cyberpunk 2077.

Even content like Spongebob and Rick and Morty is now being rejected after having flooded the feeds.

Yeah it’s a complicated picture and of course nobody knows, but it would be helpful to split “benefits” into things like;

- net benefits to the average person (considering drawbacks)

- overall relative benefits compared to income groups

- benefits in certain areas of society and topics

I think there’ll be some “benefits for all” in terms of things like medical advances and health technology. There will also be broader benefits to all in general areas but as a parent poster said it’ll benefit equity holders most and there might be some bad tradeoffs (like we’ll have access to much better information and entertainment but it may also affect the overall employment rate). It’s a very nuanced picture and it’s probably disingenuous of some tech leaders to say “we’ll all benefit) but some do believe that will be the future.

I would go as far as to say divorce by itself should always result in split custody.

Other proceedings can take custody away. For example, if both parents are abusive, they should both run the risk of losing custody, regardless of if they are married or divorced.

Divorce by itself is irrelevant.

I’m not saying we should leave kids with abusers, I’m saying the process of determine whether one or both of the parents are abusive needs to seperate from divorce.

This is already happening.

Many district attorneys have begun refusing to prosecute abuse claims - or any marital crime - until divorce cases are over.

In some cases the abuse adjudication might happen first. But it shouldn’t happen at the divorce hearing.

The idea being to separate the civil divorce from a criminal prosecution.

Divorce should always seek to maximize parent rights for both parents.

Other proceedings can deal with abuse.

Or, the returns on capital exceed the rate of economic growth (r > g), if you like Piketty's Capital in the Twenty First Century.

One of the central points is about how productivity and growth gains increasingly accrue to capital rather than labor, leading to capital accumulation and asset inflation.

I'm not following this as closely as I probably should, but it seems to me to be more of a data collection and retention scheme than something that'd actually be useful to me and my neighbours in a crisis.

In part because cash is common in my part of Sweden, which is likely annoying to the bureaucrats and oligarchs. Cash is nice because a transaction does not involve a measure of creditworthiness while only leaving an indirect trail, and this 'offline' thingie they're going for probably does and besides keeping personal data available 'offline' for performing such stratifications of people it also (theoretically) allows for a phasing out of cash also in crisis and armed conflict.
