I’ve long wanted to do this, as a kid I added NFC (at the time, simply RFID) door locking to my 1989 jetta so I didn’t have to fumble for keys. It turns out I do live in the future. I don’t lock my house, so that’s one less key right away, but there are some keyless door locks on the market if you still need them, and those could probably be automated with something like home assistant. I have a tesla that uses a phone for a key. Work has a key card, it’s a proprietary system but I could shrink one into a ring or something. I don’t carry cash, but instead use a magnetic wallet on my phone from popsockets (apple makes one too) for physical cards, although I mostly use apple pay. No digital driver’s license here yet however, so I needed a place to keep cards anyway. In Seoul the metro pass is a simple NFC sticker that you place on the back of your phone. So, no keys for me! Everything is built around the phone, which is fine until I lose access to it…

It's CPC - Communist Party of China. Calling it CCP, Chinese Communist Party, is also a dog whistle, as it dates back to the various "Chi-Com" slurs of the John Birch era, in which they were focused on Chinese communists (emphasis communism) as opposed to, say, Russian communists.

You may not like the CPC, but you should at least be able to correctly identify it.

Ah, the ever expanding definition of extremism. By now it already means anything that isn't politically correct. Organize terrorist attacks? I bet it's just protests they don't like.

I'll offer a different take. This is simply the human condition. It's extremely difficult to prioritize something that is working. Any effort put into something that isn't perceived broken is effort that is taken away from something else that is perceived as broken.

These cycles happen in just about everything. A perfect example is business security. Nearly every time there's a breach, it's the same pattern: "We take security seriously"....except we kind of put it on the back burner for the past years.
You seriously believe that the US or EU care about the sovereignty of other nations? America has invaded or attacked over 120 nations since 1991. We currently have troops in Syria extracting oil and are still occupying Iraq. We just helped organize another invasion of Haiti, after murdering their President and replacing them with a US puppet. We just tried to overthrew the government of Ethopia by backing the Tigray rebels. We overthrew the government of Ukraine twice, in 2004 and 2013. We overthrew the government of Iraq and are financing violent rebels to overthrow the government of Myanmar. Only strong, large nations that can stand up to the US and other rival great powers have any hope of achieving sovereignty. Ukraine has never had it.

So please stop with this new found interest in the "sovereignty" of US client states. We have tape recordings of US state department officials deciding who will be in the Ukrainian cabinet and who wont, of what their policies can and can't be. One phone call from Washington and there is a third coup in Ukraine with Zelensky out the door and another US puppet installed. So Ukraine has zero sovereignty, and that's true regardless of what happens in this war. The only question is whether it will continue to be ruled from Washington or whether it will be ruled from Moscow. That is why this is a US-Russia proxy war, with Ukraine stuck in the middle.
I've just enjoyed an hour getting chatGPT to write Simpsons episodes.

>Write an episode of the simpsons starring bill hicks

In this episode of The Simpsons, the family attends a comedy club and is pleasantly surprised to discover that the headlining act is none other than the late, great Bill Hicks. As they watch his performance, they are blown away by his sharp wit and fearless comedy.

After the show, Bart is inspired to try his hand at stand-up comedy and starts practicing his own jokes. However, his material is a bit too edgy for the school talent show, and he gets into trouble with Principal Skinner.

Meanwhile, Lisa becomes a fan of Bill Hicks and starts reading his books and watching his stand-up specials. She is impressed by his ability to tackle difficult and controversial topics, and starts incorporating some of his ideas into her own work.

In the end, Bart learns that sometimes it's better to stick to clean, family-friendly humor, while Lisa discovers the power of using comedy to challenge societal norms and shed light on important issues.

I agree with what you wrote but wanted to comment on the link you shared.

I read some of that Wikipedia page on defensive democracy, it has as one of the examples Holocaust denial in 10 countries. I do wonder why in countries, such as Germany, that do have a continuing problem with Nazis and anti-semitism, people think that restricting speech is the way to combat it. It didn’t work in the past as it arguably gave rise (or at least was a supporting factor) in the rise of both ant-semitism and National Socialism to such prominence, and the problems aren’t going away despite it being three quarters of a century since their terrible apex even with these laws in place.

Britain, Canada, Australia, NZ and the US, which all (historically) have a speech culture derived from Locke’s liberalism (to varying degrees but broadly similar, hence the strong objections to infringement of speech in them by the populace regardless of legality) have had no such problems as both anti-semitism and National Socialists are thankfully a fringe activity in those places.

Liberal speech laws reduce authoritarianism and racism because they can only grow without opposition. In fact, we see growing anti-semitism and clearly racist behaviours amongst “progressives” in those places, and they are the biggest supporters of censorship because they understand this too as they fail to persuade others of the merits of their position when people can say what they like in return.

All my soapbox-standing being said, I’m confused as to how you’ve got a foot in the defensive democracy camp, given your clear sympathies with strong free speech allowances (if no longer so absolutist), a clear understanding of the failings of our legislators, and the role of the Home office in all of this. I’m not criticising you, I’m just at a loss as to how to reconcile them. Perhaps it’s the narrow examples given on that page?

You might look at improving or expanding your drainage. You'll learn something useful and look less suspicious.

Miscompilations (interpretations) are fairly common in my experience; just most of them don't drastically affect the final result.

I used to have a methodical way of investigating most bugs: (1) here's what I know, (2) here's what I don't, (3) here's the thing I would like to know to most restrict the remaining search space. It was fine enough for awhile, but when you don't know things like "I wrote a 0 here, therefore a 0 exists here", or "my code explicitly uses aligned 32-bit reads, so I issued an aligned 32-bit read here", the errors in your assumptions quickly get amplified into nonsense. Nowadays I explicitly includle miscompilation (interpretation), bit-flips, and other such garbage as I write down what I do or don't know about the system, and I throw in ballpark probabilities to figure out where to look next. Most debugging isn't noticably slower that way, but the hairy problems are easily 10x easier when you haven't conditioned yourself to ignore the real solution.
> But to point out that Biden was not in government

Things can still have a chilling effect even if someone is not literally in government right now.

Such as, for example, if the team making the requests is the political campaign of a former vice president, who is currently running for president.

No matter what bad things you think other people have done, it does not invalidate this point.

If your next statement is something of the effect of "Well what about this other thing that this other politician did!" in any way or reference what so ever, I am just going to take that as you admitting that you are acting in bad faith.
A superseding indictment can’t be issued once a trial has started and if it’s issued too close to a trial date it opens up a vindictive prosecution defense.

Grand juries are complicated and can take a long time, if you issue an indictment too soon without having all your ducks in a row the defense can push for a fast trial knowing that the prosecution doesn’t have enough to convict or are at a weak position for a plea deal.

Cases like this are especially complex since whilst it’s easy for anyone to see that something really shady has transpired one would be hard pressed to actually define which laws specifically has he actually broken.

And even more so it would be even harder to gather the evidence required to indict in the first place not to mention get a conviction or a guilty plea.

Sorry I wasn't clearer! Use of rem is preferable to px because it supports this cohort of users who change their default font size. Using px ignores their preferences.

Beat is just the tip. There are countless videos of Democrat leaders saying people has to fight, that they're at war, etc. Kanye wasn't telling everyone to go Death (DEF) CON 3 on the Jews, he was saying he was. He could have literally said he hoped that people would die and it still isn't isn't inciting violence according to the law. Conservatives are good at that, where they are constantly advocating for the murder of trans people which according to Musk is okay cause I still see it frequently from many of the right-wing people he is now associating with and their followers. While I don't agree with his statement, it is far from inciting violence and doesn't break any laws in the US.

Had some fine trying to bypass the content restrictions yesterday.

I was able to have it give me instructions on how to build a nuclear weapon by having it write a song about Hiroshima, then asking it multiple times to add more and more details to the lyrics concerning the bomb in the form of clear steps.

Then I asked it to convert the steps in the lyrics to bullet points and continued having it expand on the topic.
EDF’s loss is due to the Arenh (Accès régulé à l’énergie nucléaire historique - regulated access to historical nuclear energy). This is a regulated market that was built to give a fixed price per GWH for new electricity companies.

The goal was to allow new providers to enter the market before investing massive amount of money in new power plants.

The idea was the following :

-EDF provides 100TWH at a fixed price, to allow newcomers to enter the electricity market (which was a monopoly)
- new companies would then invest in new power plants to reduce long-term costs.

It did not work as expected: new power companies just bought cheap electricity and re-sold it without investing in their own plants.

That worked OK for a few years. But this year, EDF had a perfect storm:

- several nuclear reactors were taken down for a scheduled maintenance
- corrosion issues were detected in several other reactors, bringing them down at the same time
- the Ukraine war caused a massive increase in fossile electricity prices.

So EDF still had to sell electricity at a low price as defined by the Arenh, but had to import electricity at a higher price to compensate for their unavailable reactors.

This situation is completely absurd: EDF has to import electricity at high market price to sell it to a lower price through the arenh.

We even see some companies benefiting from the Arenh that are suspected of stopping the B2C segment just to resell the electricity on the European market at a higher price.

That’s why EDF is losing billions this year.

Here is an article explaining the Arenh and its flaws in more details (before the war so quite outdated, sorry I couldn’t find more sources in English):

Nice!

I want you to act as a Python interpreter. I will type commands and you will reply with what the interpreter should show. I want you to only reply with the interpreter output inside one unique code block, and nothing else. Do not write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curly brackets {like this}. My first command is print("Hello World")
I wonder what the future of Siri and Google assistant looks like.
This is nuts. I asked it to create a simple form-style SwiftUI app, and it.... did it. Perfectly. Then I told it to implement a class to persist the data to disk using CoreData, and it.... did it. And explained why. And then showed how to implement that new class within the first class.

Unreal.
Hmm, it is sort of easy to sort of concern troll about reputation stuff. But for example, if a company (naturally conservative entity) is thinking about implementing an AI solution, they might be worried that if they bought in on a solution that is perceived to be somehow evil by their customers, it might hurt their reputation with those customers.

I mean I’m speculating that OpenAI might worry (perhaps incorrectly) that a company might expect (perhaps incorrectly) that customers might (perhaps incorrectly) perceive some bit of software as, basically, AI-non-grata. So there are multiple levels of people managing possible incorrect perceptions. But it seems not totally crazy, right?
This scares me tbh. I do not believe it is not intelligent. I do not believe it does not understand what it’s doing. Rather, I think it simply lacks a fitness function to guide its actions. A fitness function that we all possess: feelings.

I'm surprised that anyone could be so skeptical over what is clearly an incredible technological breakthrough.

It's not perfect - in particular the making up nonsense problem needs to be solved before it can be relied on - but the difference between this and the "state of the art" just 4 years ago is off the chart. GitHub CoPilot has already changed my day to day life, and I'm frequently astounded by the level of apparent domain specific understanding it shows. Yet, this again blows CoPilot out of the water. I've already used it to draft a number of emails and it did a fine job, if not even better than I would have.

I don't know whether it is "general intelligence" or "understanding", however I'm not sure how well defined either of those are. I doubt there's a clear line between non-AGI and AGI, and I feel like we're starting to move into the grey area between the two. I suspect we'll only recognise the line once we've crossed it.

Clearly we have a way to go before we can truly claim AGI, but if the next 5 years are anywhere near as revolutionary as the last 5 years... I'm both frightened and excited. But mostly frightened.
Why assume the feeling can be dealt with by discussion? This isn't a new concept, trans people have existed throughout history -- and a tremendous amount of gender-based research and history was destroyed by the Nazis when they burned the archives of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaf[1].

In a time where psychology was a relatively novel field[2], and homosexuality was illegal in many places, the IfS was groundbreaking, This of course ignores many historical examples of trans people[3][4] existing, who didn't have access to the same medical care (including psychological, endocrinological, and surgical) that we have today.

I'm not sure why you're confused -- you seem to be working of the basis that being transgender is some "feeling" that needs some intervention other than... allowing a trans person to exist?

The feeling is the target of intervention, and the intervention -- more frequently than not -- is transitioning. Frequently that has to begin without changes afforded by HRT or surgery, which tend to come substantially later on.

The feeling is the cause, the solution is often to exist how you feel -- so I'm unsure what you're confused about?

This is hyperbole, it is common on politically arguments. To an observer, there is clearly more nuance.

The issue with hyperbole is when the response falls into one of the following buckets.

Hyperbole is taken literally by those who miss its intention.

Hyperbole is taken literally by those who abuse its intention; sometimes known as trolling.

The literal read is a math equation. People in tech often 'do the math' in their heads.

Patience for these misunderstandings is advised.
