Hence my point.

To be fair to the courts not every right or legal doctrine needs to be enumerated in law. The law provides a framework and the courts extrapolate for specific cases or corners that are maybe nuances of the legal framework enacted by law.

But both political sides have said the courts often exceed their mandate and create law by fiat. The challenge is the legislature is essentially frozen in dysfunction that the courts are filling the void and exceeding their mandate without balance by the legislature. Congress could pass laws banning these practices or providing a framework for qualified immunity (which some limited form surely must exist for people doing jobs like the police given they must have the right to use force and other typically prohibited means, but are also just as fallible as anyone else). But they don’t because they’re too busy angling to shut the other side out.
I think they've also turned it into a book so people will have something slow to peruse in order to absolve them of their digital guilt.
> I spent 4 years stationed at Camp Hansen, Okinawa and I'm not sure that represents the majority of Okinawans. Anecdotally, the rare protest was extremely tiny, like less than 20 people, and I've never had a negative interaction. I often yearn to return because the place was so lovely and friendly.

Huh? You're concluding that the vote was not representative because you didn't see a lot of protestors and Okinawans are friendly?
I don’t know if these books address your specific question, because I haven’t read either one.

Peter Sestoft has looked at spreadsheet implementations:

He or she preferred a time when the world was less connected, and one’s ability to travel was dictated more by wealth, status, and education. Think of a time when to pull off a trip to Japan you had to use a travel agent ($) to assist you in even figuring out what hotel to go to and how to get there. You’d rely on print magazines and books to even first decide where to go, and those only had so many pages to print. Rick Steve can only write so much.

Now thanks to the internet and other technology advances, travel is more accessible (Google Maps), cheaper (flight and hotel comparison tools), and more people are doing it. You also have entire nations that are traveling now in ways they didn’t 20 years ago (e.g. China).

Yes, this all means more crowding and it is less pleasant. But social media is just one small input in all of this. The only way it returns to “how it was” is a return to a more exclusionary travel world.

(I expect someone will make a comment about hostels and backpacking. I’m not refuting there were means of travel that were more affordable and accessible. But we’re talking about mass accessibility and availability across all markets.)
ChatGPT is an absolute game changer. And I was very conservative with systems like GPT and DALLE-2. For example, I've been very lazy with automating some things on my work laptop, using Powershell. Now, I just had to ask ChatGPT for "write a powershell script that toggles "use setup script" in the windows proxy settings" and I was done in 5 minutes. Amazing. I foresee a paradigm shift in how we use Google in the next 1-2 years.
They're not though. Assange would be tried in a court with codified laws that are written by elected representatives of the people. He'd have a right to legal representation of his choice. He'd be able to call witnesses to defend him. A jury could decide that even if he's entirely guilty of the crime, that actually the law on the books is incorrect and therefore nullify it. If he gets an unfair trial, he can appeal and get another one with a different judge and different jury. If it turns out that the conviction was correct given the laws, and the juries are pretty much fine with the laws as written, he still can make an argument to the very philosophical principles of a democracy in the Supreme Court and be vindicated. All of these are imperfect, yes, but they are imperfect in dramatically different ways than an authoritarian theocratic regime is imperfect.

"There is a concept of law and punishment" is where the similarity ends. To observe that a system resists reform is the same observation as "there is a system." That is what they do. All the systems that have no resistance to reform aren't systems. They don't exist!

>I can say that tolerance requires a capability for abstraction that is not intuitive to everyone

there's some pretty interesting research related to this done with criminals. At lower levels of IQ they aren't capable of hypotheticals like "how do you think the person felt when you robbed them" or "how do you think the mother of the person you killed felt about that". Which raises the question of how much they can even be held accountable for their actions to some degree

Empathy requires a certain level of intelligence, children don't have the cognitive ability for it until they are a few years old and there are many "normal" adults walking around with IQ in a similar range as those children. High IQ psychopaths are interesting because they seem to be able to overrule most criminal behavior despite also not feeling empathy, they probably just run some sort of cost-benefit analysis that simulates empathy

Considered by whom? They must be insane, if they think that the presence of severely imperfect systems of election of candidates makes individuals in a population responsible. Only the use of a non intellectual organ can come to that conclusion.

You have just proven, through stating the pervasiveness of lunacy, that the responsibility of the sane can only be limited.
> My stance is the exact opposite, it's that they do have agency but that the constant articles in the West celebrating a chance for some sort of regime change actually gives the Iranian government the ammunition it needs to make them appear sponsored/non-organic.

It barely matters. Diplomats do try spin things that way, but the government's problem is that they can't stop the protests inside despite having already killed hundreds of protesters, foreign media is pretty far down their list of concerns. In Tehran women are walking around without headscarves in blatant defiance of morality rules and the government is growing desperate.

Recent talk of maybe relaxing morality rules are a desperate attempt to placate the protests, not put on a show for the West.

fwiw, the ChatGPT summary of the article is:

"During the pandemic, people have been consumed by their digital lives and have felt hollowed out by this. In response, many people have turned away from digital and have sought solace in things they can touch and feel, with their whole bodies. This has led to a boom in outdoor recreation and in activities that require more physical and mental effort. The author suggests that getting back in touch with reality can make us whole again."

Not to steal the author's thunder but I like to find out quickly the point and dig into the interesting parts. Not even sure if the above is a good summary but someone who did read the entire article word for word can tell me!

Did you read the code it generated? It doesnt do anything. Its just a list of do_thing1(), do_thing2(), etc. When asked to elaborate more it just says ok do_thing1() is made up of do_thing1a(), do_thing1b(), etc but again gives no actual code to the functions.

I am certainly willing to believe these models can write trivial functional code such as generating an example of a well known algorithm with lots of open source code for the model to ingest. I'm not convinced at all that it can write non trivial code to do new things.
Reading that only makes Minio and Garage seem more similar. They are both single-binary, clustered, S3-compatible file storage solutions.

In the world of Android, apps are signed (including system/platform apps) through a trust-on-first-use system. There's no PKI with roots and intermediates which could support easily enabling a quick fix.

On Android, an updated app is validated by the system to be signed by the same signing key hash as was used previously.

The most recent (v3, IIRC) apk signing scheme allows you to update an APK and sign it with the old key, and committing a future new signing key, which permits re-keying an app.

To use this, I believe you need to ship a platform (operating system) update, as the underlying apps are signed using old APK signing schemes.

These OEMs are likely not always shipping the latest OS version, but could look to techniques used in the custom firmware world, where there are tools to allow reflashing the OS without losing app data when changing system signing key.

It requires engineering effort for already released devices though, so I suspect we will see very little action - as usual, the eyes are on the future products, not on previously released products.

I assume Google play protect will be used to carefully patrol and detect apps on devices signed by the leaked keys, but this isn't hugely helpful for anyone concerned about "zeroday" style targeted attacks against them.

There's a line where you should intervene when others are not letting others live and let live. That's the overall human societal obligation that everyone has to each other.

Then there's another line where you build the type of society you want, but only within your own circle of culture or geography or whatever.

Live and let live requires assuring the first part, while also not imposing your own version of the second part on people who are not within your circle. The expression has always had nuance. Until now, I had never heard such a simplistic interpretation.
I'm working on a framework in Ruby that uses Haml for templating. It is inspired by React and has a VDOM, but it's 100% server side and DOM-patches are streamed to the browser as state updates on the server. Callback handlers are just POST-requests and they are set up like this:

ruby:
def self.get_initial_state(initial_count: 0, **) = {
count: initial_count
}

def handle_click
update do |state|
{ count: state[:count] }
end
end

%div
%p Current count: #{state[:count]}
%button(onclick=handle_click) Increment

I don't know if anyone would be interested in using anything like this.
As much as you abhor bloviating, sounds like you're bloviating too.
The main things that are needed are silence and trust—and not just for the would-be prophets among us, but for all of us: teachers, policymakers, clerics, parents, humans of any stripe. Panicked catastrophism will only ensure that our challenged cultures stay brittle and stuck.

The turn to panic has been an immensely frustrating aspect of the past several years. The liberal establishment has gnashed its teeth, shrieked, buried its head in the sand, blamed its comeuppance on omnipotent Russian bots, anything to avoid going back to reality...

Elon is angering liberals and he has clearly crossed a line by exposing liberal bias.

I tried your prompt 5 times in a row using the Try Again button. The results:

x = 10 and y = 5 (adding equations together)
x = 10/33 and y = 15/11 (substitution method)
x = 5.33 and y = 2 (substitution method)
x =5 and y = 2.5 (algebraic manipulation)
x = 5 and y = 5 (elimination method)

However, when I asked it to write a python program to solve the problem, it did much better:

Write a Python program using numpy to solve the following problem: suppose
we have two unknown quantities x and y. If three time x plus two times y is
twenty, and 2 times x plus three time y is ten, what are x and y?

It produced the following program:

import numpy as np

# Define the matrix of coefficients
A = np.array([[3, 2], [2, 3]])

# Define the vector of constants
b = np.array([20, 10])

# Solve the system of equations
x = np.linalg.solve(A, b)

print(x)

Which is basically correct. (The only nitpick I can see is that `linalg.solve` will return a vector containing both x and y, so a better answer would be `x, y = np.linalg.solve(A, b)`.) If you copy-paste the above program you do in fact get "[8. -2.]", which is correct.

However, ChatGPT, after providing the correct program, also claimed that it's output would be "[5. 5.]" which is not correct.

My impression is that ChatGPT being a large language model, is excellent at translating from English to Python, but terrible at actually performing calculations. Which is fine. We have programs which can efficiently run numerical programs. ChatGPT fills the role of a programmer, not a calculator.

I want to emphasize how impressive I think ChatGPT is. Even the above examples, where it gets the "wrong" answer in the end, are impressive. Most of my interactions with it were very positive. But we need to understand its strengths and weaknesses to be able to use it effectively.

Studies like this are dangerous.

1. Scientific articles are almost like luxury clickbait these days. Let’s be frank: how many of us paid even the minimum of 12 USD for 48-hour access to the complete study and know what they even mean by the title?

2. This study in particular will likely engender the notion, that will now be taken as fact, that political intolerance is indicative of lack of “cognitive ability” (whatever that means). This point itself is an assumption, because the abstract consists of stanzas of loaded jargon.

Phoenix LiveView. Some learning curve, but once it clicks, you’ll understand there’s very little reason to use anything else for web apps.
So the signing key for Samsung Android phones were leaked so that any software that is loaded is signed such that it comes from the App Store is trusted. The problem for OEMs is that developing and distributing a new key requires a Firmware update and it isn't trivial to develop for QA/QC because if they make a mistake with the keys then devices could be unable to load apps from the App Store.

The DoJ gets to keep the money from what I understand. On the Federal level this is the better version, because at least it needs to be reappropriated to the department through institutions.

At many local level states, literally the police dept gets to keep the money and fund e.g. bonuses using them, which is really a peverse on the ground incentive.
