>So sure, the bail is for preventing flight. It is not about justice. But ultimately the "justice system" is also not there to do "justice": it is ultimately there to insure societal stability and harmony. When a people get the sense that "the system" is stacked, and gives preferential treatment to special people, it undermines the very purpose of a justice system.

Okay, but what's the alternative here? Have a bail/trial by public opinion so the results are maximally aligned with what the public wants?

There's also the alternative of making the justice system more humane, but like you said:

>One reason to stay within the law is that even due process can be a rather nasty experience, and generally to be avoided if possible. The threat of rape in US prisons is repeatedly referenced in "cultural products" coming out of LA. It is pretty odd when you think about it: systemic abuse is taking place and blockbuster films reference it and apparently the government doesn't care.

The government doesn't care because the public doesn't care. It's hard to garner sympathy for suspects. I suspect that in the depictions you speak of, the thought that goes through the average audience's head is "criminal getting their just desserts", not "this is a failure of the criminal justice system because someone is effectively being punished before they're convicted".

Perhaps OpenAI should provide an API such that web-browsers can instantly look up any text and see if it was created by one of their GPT models. Then browsers can highlight and mark the text as such.

Perhaps it should even be a law that any AI should record its own output for later queries.
This bail deal is just a travesty of justice and nonsense! He or his family promised to pay a bail of $250 million. But they DON'T HAVE this money, unless he uses money that was stolen from other people. Unlike a normal person, he didn't have to pay this money to leave the jail, just signing some papers. It is absurd that this is happening. The guy should at least pay upfront several million dollars, if hey really want to call this bail.
I think there are a great many prominent counterexamples of bail being denied for people who pretty clearly fit that bill. Chelsea Manning comes to mind, being neither a flight risk nor potential re-offender.

It isn't clear that the argument is either which way. If we interpret it economically, the argument is a variant of "we should cut off our own nose to spite our face". Why should the American consumer be hampered because the Chinese consumer is hampered? That isn't clever.

But there is a pretty good military argument. Giving the Chinese government an easy way in to most mobile devices seems like a rookie mistake.

Ideally, the US should legislate that all code is covered by the GPLv2 or v3 so we can monitor what is going on and be positioned to exercise freedom from Chinese spying. That's be the best of most worlds. The real issue here is, as usual, that we can't see the source code so we don't know what it does.

This is ultimately a predictable outcome for any password manager that stores your credentials on someone else's server.

Just like they say in crypto "not your keys, not your crypto" - it applies here too. Not your storage, not your passwords.

KeePass on an airgapped box, or an encrypted hardware password manager with no network interfaces is best, though frankly, I'd even be more comfortable writing down passwords on paper (at home) than I would be storing them on someone else's server.

I say all this as a big tech red teamer, or, someone who breaches other people's servers for a living.
"Ban the lot" certainly seemed to trying to equate them.

Spying on journalists is bad in ways that selling me tailored junk is not. You don't ban companies for selling somewhat embarassingly appropriate junk. You do ban them for spying. What you absolutely don't do is ban the junk selling because someone else spied.
I think that quote is accurate, but not unreasonable from the perspective of the justice system. My intuition is that alleged white collar Criminal is in fact less likely to commit a new Ponzi scheme while awaiting trial then an alleged drug Smuggler.

The justice system should be blind, but not to facts and reason

You never really need something other than make, but I’d consider it borderline professional malpractice to try and wrangle medium-to-large size projects with make.
Oh, it's about people who use AI, I thought they were going after the real cheaters: the people who use a prefab computer to solve the problems rather than building their own from scratch.
Closed captions are usually available for that need (which is also helpful for people who became hard of hearing later in life). But that's a separate need than what is effectively translation.
Yeah I tried that for ages. Was never seamless enough to get the whole family on board easily.

Especially across multiple users.
Glad that there are absolutely no similar things happening in US or European politics! It’s great to live past the light of Valinor where no bad things happen.
So you're saying it's impossible to define what TikTok is doing wrong? Why does TikTok deserve a ban but not other major suppliers of short-form video that are tracking their users, etc.

It sounds like you want to do away with rule of law and just have politicians ban apps they don't like?

It seems either it is too hard to differentiate what TikTok are doing wrong from what the other companies are doing wrong, or it's inconsistent treatment?

ISPs already gather a ton of information it would be nice if they used it to help us (would require legislation). For example it should be easy to get a report from my ISP "top ten entities to which I uploaded data this month". I should be able to clock through and see how much data, what days and times, the company who control the domains in use -- for example from pihole use I know MS get a deluge of data from my home.

With that information a user should then be able to privately compare it with a log from their phone and, 'hey look, whenever I have GPS on Facebook receives data' or 'whenever I use $app my uploads go up, but it doesn't need any uploads to work'. That data then socials be used to prosecute GDPR breaches (it seems it could almost be entirely automated).
I live in maybe the most globally free movement neighborhood in the US and the one that perhaps invented the globalist mindset you are criticizing (Hyde Park, Chicago).

Yet I know everyone of my neighbors and our community is cohesive and stable (though it’s rare to live near extended family, thankfully in my case). Virtually everyone of those neighbors (including me) is an economic migrant.

We have soul, we have warmth and we have near daily events that cause us to interact closely with each other.

Maybe it’s not the globalism that caused the issues you are seeing. Maybe it’s zoning or the civic planning of your community? Do you spend a lot of time in cars? Does your community not have civic organizations that allow you to work with a variety of people in your neighborhood? Or perhaps there isn’t any diversity so everyone feels isolated? Or maybe you just aren’t participating in your community?
The idea of using crypto wallets as canaries is an interesting one, however. I bet you could set that up to only be tripped by a major compromise.

And yes - there is basically no way to actually prove that your passwords on a server aren’t accessible to someone - especially if they can update software.
This is exactly the right way to look at it. Especially when pretrial incarceration is maybe the single most effective tool for extracting a plea agreement (even from the wrongfully accused!)
A proper UI is not about telling people how the things are done, it's about managing/meeting users' expectations on how the things are done, so it's pretty valid to let the users wait longer if that makes them feel better (not saying there are no better ways), pretty much like a placebo.
I would consider localizing for en-US visitors as many will have no idea what you mean by “brackets”.

I would also suggest that you actually make the landing page “work”, whatever that means for your tool, with no extension — on mobile I could not make it do anything at all.

Good luck!

JFC. Presumed innocence?

What the hell is wrong with people. He didn't kill anyone. He's probably a criminal - but until he's convicted he's not a danger to himself or others and should not be in a jail cell.

And I don't care if it happens to others - two wrongs don't make a right. We should scrap cash bail for the entire country and fix our justice system, not become a rabid mob demanding everyone suspected of a crime spend time in jail until proven innocent.
Objective of the justice system is to give defendants who are presumed innocent as much Freedom as possible. The chances of I'm alleged white collars Criminal spinning up a new Ponzi scheme before their trial date is low.

The chance of a alleged drug Smuggler or violent Criminal reoffending before trial is higher.

While the justice system should be blind to the economic situation of the defendant, that doesn't mean it has to be blind to common sense
For clarification, was this a imagined GPT3 session or an actual one?
Indeed, I can see this being a bureaucractic challenge more than a technical one.

There are quite clear paths forward and no shortage of prior art for the engineering portion, unless there is something we aren't privvy to it must be lack of incentives and bureaucracy.
How good is it at answering yes/no questions?

For example: "Is the following text part of an advertisement? ..."
FWIW "regular criminals" routinely get bail. Even murder suspects do; around half of them. Despite that, there are some obvious issues with cash bail, which is why bail reform is a major area of legislation in some places. Several states have recently switched from cash bail to a points system.

That points system seems like an infinitely better idea than advocating that shitty conditions and mistreatment be applied evenly across all people. Presumption of innocence, right? No matter what we all think, SBF has not been proven -- in the way that matters -- to have broken the law.
A tape drive actually led to my adoption of Linux.

Around 1999, I decided that a QIC tape was the best backup solution for my home network. At the time, I had a 486 running Windows, and two Apollo 425t running OpenBSD. The 486 may have also dual-booted into OpenBSD.

Anyway, I had a bare-bones 386 sitting around and I had upgraded the 486 so much that the spare parts were available to reconstitute the 386. I found a nice floppy tape drive, consumer grade, and wouldn't you know that OpenBSD didn't have floppy tape drivers. So I installed Linux on the 386 and it was a dedicated backup server.

At the same time I had a SyQuest EZ 135 that I was very fond of, and those 135MB cartridges could hold good stuff, like a complete complement of Windows updates. But its capacity was too low to be a backup solution, of course; it was storage on-the-go.
It sounds like we're mostly on the same page, but to argue the 3 point a little harder- war is bad for business and I don't like gas prices going up. Everyone should sit down and chill the fuck out and it is good (for us) to ensure that's in their best interest too.
Not that I don’t believe you. But can you give an example?
Any two factor that doesn’t require your firstborn or travelling in person to some frightening building to remove is basically a form of security theater. Most can be removed by support pretty easily just by asking.
I'm pretty sure every other time lastpass has had an incident that we've seen isolated stories like this.
If you fall in the right place on the curve $75 / LTO-8 cartridge still makes a lot of sense. It doesn’t take many $400 hard drives to make up the price for a tape element at that per-cartridge price. (Assuming you can deal with sequential access, etc.)
> Moreover, rich people are more easily able to satisfy elaborate bail conditions.

Rich families are. I assume his accounts and assets are entirely frozen. His parents put up their house to secure his bail. [1]

Is this even a real problem? It's not 1920 anymore you can't do anything without papers.
Yeah they are a concern, but the justice system shouldn't look at anecdotes. It should look at overall statistics.
Maybe I should have been more specific. In my mind there is a difference between stopping outgoing ddos attack and blocking/censoring websites.
In what sense is it a bad thing that the government can see who drove to the scene of a crime?

Especially when, to prevent abuse or mistakes, that isn't sufficient on its own to justify police action?
Just watched the videos, a few thoughts:

Coffeezilla says that Tether doesn't need to honor your redemption by point to the TOS. The TOS that he shows in the video says that Tether reserves the right to delay the redemption and pay it in-kind securities held by Tether. So if Tether is holding a bond, they reserve the right to give you that bond instead of selling the bond and giving you the proceeds. That's very different than his claim that Tether doesn't need to honor the redemption.

His discussion about whether or not it was transparent that Bitfinex and Tether were owned by the same people. He plays sound clips that sound a little misleading: Phil Potter is prompted with "Tether is Bitfinex, right?" To which Phil Potter responds: "No, it's not." Is that really misleading. If someone asked Elon Musk, Twitter is SpaceX, right? Wouldn't the answer be no, even though they're owned by the same people? All the sound clips are less than 10 seconds longs, so it's really hard to understand everything in context.

The leadership team of Tether does seem a little sketch.

The part about Tether lending Bitfinex money to stay solvent while Bitfinex's money was held by the state pending investigation of their bank was sketchy, but technically the currency would still be backed by the loan, assuming Bitfinex can get their money back, which seems likely given that they weren't a party in the investigation holding up the money.

I think the bottom line is that you have to trust the Tether team to handle the money wisely. Usually, you can't trust people to do that so using Tether is extremely risky. As for the video, I won't say it's wrong, but it certainly picked the least charitable interpretation of events and also cherry-picked sound-bites, which is kind of a misleading tactic to use that helps suit a narrative.

I will happily pay if ChatGPT can understand my complex requirements and give recommendations,

For example, if I need to get a used phone that I can flash lineage OS, which is sold by a seller with high rating and has been active for 5 years. There is no way Google is providing me such recommendations, but if ChatGPT can lookout for such phones across multiple ecomm websites and give such recommendations, I will happily pay good money for that service.

I should have been more explicit; I was being a bit flip, trying to inject a little lightheartedness.

To specifically respond to just that one point, New England is in many ways an unusual region so I don’t think we should use the scores from here to come to any particular conclusions about the country in general.

This shouldn’t be taken as a response to your other points, most of which seem reasonable enough or at least I don’t know anything in particular about them.
I had the DOS version. It was our 80s version of 3d printing, on dot matrix. I had built everything in the app by the end of it and my parents bought a lot of refills of their sticky paper from Egghead.
Hmm, as much as I dislike advertising (which is packed with all kinds of lies, not just about the cast of a movie), their loss here doesn't seem to justify a suit? I mean, $3.99 for a disappointing rental, that can't even be worth taking to Small Claims can it?
Some overrides make sense. Airbus’s flight envelope protection prevents pilots from stalling the plane. A great many accidents have happened due to stalls.

Airplanes have never been safer, despite many more planes flying. Crashes of airliners is rare. If anything, that points to automation greatly improving safety.

Thing of it this way, many more pilots accidentally hit the TOGA button on the ground. The automation has surely prevented more accidents than it has caused.

Crypto/Web3 Startup Ideas (2023 Edition)
I use Inoreader as well.

They run annual Black Friday specials that end up giving you 18 months for the cost of 12.

They have advanced filtering and rules.

They have some social features I don't use but that approximate what Google Reader was mourned for.

I really rather wholeheartedly recommend them.

The only negative thing I could say about them is that they seem rather close-minded in a rather non-P.R.-friendly way to feature requests, and don't seem very interested in improving the product in ways their customers request, although they do, however, still (slowly) improve the product. It's not in stasis as many other products sometimes tend to be (cough Remember the Milk cough cough)

That having been said, to me, the product feels rather rock solid as it is in its existing functionality, and to me, it feels like a solid power tool.
Building a website like it's 1999
It's unclear to me based on the wording in the bill whether this only applies to government devices. IANAL but sounds like it would also extend to devices with government profiles installed, i.e. any contractor that has USG MDM on their phone or laptop. Also wondering if this applies to defense or just civil-side?

People forget that a gigantic portion of the government is made up of federal contractors, some agencies are almost entirely made up of contractors. Depending on how this bill is interpreted this could lead to govt banning certain social media from the personal devices of FTEs/contractors with MDM enabled.
Just a coincidence! I didn't have any other post in mind.
"According to Bloomberg, Bankman-Fried was held in the sickbay, where he had access to a toilet, running water, a TV, local newspapers, crossword puzzles and many other perks, including vegan food.

The line is drawn at birth. I'm not sure what you're trying to say here unless you're arguing that those states that allow abortions at all stages allow you to abort a baby that has already been delivered.

One of the things that I find interesting in terms of long lasting standard or infrastructure development is that small variations in design choices early in a system result in radically different performance down the line. For instance the width or guage of a train track will greatly influence the carrying capacity and the size of objects transportable via rail. Same for the size of lane of road. Infrastructure, and standards tend to have an inertia like quality as changeover to a slightly improved system takes significant capital.

In general it seems absolutely insane to me that we rely on an antique control strategy for the Subway while in other industries outside of rail such as aviation or automotive such a system would be easily automated.
I have only used Gumroad for ebooks. I'd guess they would at least have some way to play the audio and may be even remember last location for users returning.

That said, I was suggesting Gumroad mainly for providing the files and let users use their own preferred apps. Sanderson's team has mentioned that currently they do not have bandwidth to host audio on their own site.

What did his bail terms say? If they said stay in the county, for example, then he fled regardless of where his home was. If you breach bail terms (without good reason, eg preventing a death) you should never get out on bail again.
Freedoms can't defend themselves, because they're abstract and subjective. Human beings decide what freedoms other human beings have, collectively and by various means with varying efficacy, such as use of force, tacit agreement, etc.

People in China are certainly free to speak whatever they like. But if they say the wrong thing their genocidal dictatorship will stomp on them hard. Here in America we have means to defend free speech through the use of force, e.g., the courts, and a generally accepted social contract that some (many? I hope) are loath to break: and that freedom doesn't mean other individuals can't or won't react negatively (cf: Musk and Twitter).

>Boston is located in Massachusetts, United States, and it is approximately 0 miles away from itself. It is not possible for a city or location to be a certain distance away from itself, as it is the point of reference for measuring distance.
