Sure, but they’re not the entire set - and it’s the people that hold the view earnestly that are more interesting to steelman.

The same could be said for people who want encryption (and often is by partisans on the other side, “you just want to hide bad behavior and only pretend it’s about general privacy”).

I think strong encryption and user control is important (I work on urbit full time at Tlon and encourage friends to use Signal), but I still recognize there are real tradeoffs that result from empowering individuals this way, I just think on net it’s the right decision even with the often terrible downsides.

It’s easy to pretend there are no downsides and people like to structure policy opinions as if this was the case, but it rarely is.

> “ Robin Hanson proposed stores where banned products could be sold.1 There are a number of excellent arguments for such a policy—an inherent right of individual liberty, the career incentive of bureaucrats to prohibit everything, legislators being just as biased as individuals. But even so (I replied), some poor, honest, not overwhelmingly educated mother of five children is going to go into these stores and buy a “Dr. Snakeoil’s Sulfuric Acid Drink” for her arthritis and die, leaving her orphans to weep on national television.

I was just making a factual observation. Why did some people think it was an argument in favor of regulation?

On questions of simple fact (for example, whether Earthly life arose by natural selection) there’s a legitimate expectation that the argument should be a one-sided battle; the facts themselves are either one way or another, and the so-called “balance of evidence” should reflect this. Indeed, under the Bayesian definition of evidence, “strong evidence” is just that sort of evidence which we only expect to find on one side of an argument.

But there is no reason for complex actions with many consequences to exhibit this onesidedness property. Why do people seem to want their policy debates to be one-sided?

Politics is the mind-killer. Arguments are soldiers. Once you know which side you’re on, you must support all arguments of that side, and attack all arguments that appear to favor the enemy side; otherwise it’s like stabbing your soldiers in the back. If you abide within that pattern, policy debates will also appear one-sided to you—the costs and drawbacks of your favored policy are enemy soldiers, to be attacked by any means necessary.”
Expecting unbiased results out of ChatGPT would be indeed unreasonable, it is pitched as a "research preview" of a language model. I would completely expect ChatGPT to have all kinds of weird biases. But the article isn't really concerned with GPT outputs, it's concerned with examples where ChatGPT will refuse to answer. Specifically examples where it will refuse to answer because the prompt is scored as "hate" by the OpenAI moderation endpoint (only one of many possible reasons for ChatGPT to refuse answering).

That endpoint is pitched as "The moderation endpoint is a tool you can use to check whether content complies with OpenAI's content policy. Developers can thus identify content that our content policy prohibits and take action, for instance by filtering it.". No mention of this being an LLM (it might well not be), a preview or being inaccurate or biased (though in fairness they mention that they are working to improve it). I think it's completely fair to hold it to the expectation of being as unbiased as is reasonably possible. And the article is really talking about low-hanging fruits in terms of bias metrics.

The difference was pretty drastic. My NEC FP2141SB in the early 2000s ran 1280x1024 @ 100hz, those Diamondtron/Tronitron tubes were next-level for their time even though they were super finicky.
Wow! this brought back a whole lot of memories. I spent countless hours of my childhood on de_dust, de_dust2, the Italy map and the pool one. I still remember the "Roger that", "Fire in the hole", "Follow me", and so on. Playing this on my constantly-virus-riddled Windows XP computer is one of my earliest computer memories.

The so-called regulated marketplace only has a thin veneer of propriety. Naked short selling is rampant, many financial statistics are entirely self-reported with barely a slap on the wrist for intentional fabrications, market makers have privileges to manipulate the price that normal folks don't have access to, etc. And one time the plebs got one over on the financial class (the GME thing) they literally "shut it down".
Oh, a both-sideser.

Well, if that's the case, you really shouldn't care. It should be as easy for you to be one as the other, yet those who invoke 'both sides' really only ever seem to be favoring one side.
Side argument - why do you need protection from drug dealers? Just don't buy drugs from them if you don't want any.

Main argument: you bring up very important aspect - emotional one. We are very emotional and in the heat of the moment you probably won't be able to make good technical and reasonable case to persuade people, but that doesn't mean they are right.

Also I am not against _solutions_ to the problem. I am against solutions that when implemented have really low cost of switching them into tools of abuse.

Example: There is law that allows banning of websites (just DNS resolution) that promote gambling, illegal porn etc. It was recently used to "take down" a website that leaked emails of politicians of current government (it could be bad if we speak of some national security / military stuff, in that case they share info about corruption and nepotism)
Trust decays exponentially with distance in the social graph, but it does not immediately fall to zero. People who you second-degree trust are more likely to be trustable than a random person, and then via that process of discovery you can choose to trust that person directly.

> The city mostly shuts down at an absurd hour. Trying to run errands at 10pm feels like trying to run them at 3 am in most major cities.

I wish Target stayed open past 6pm, but for nightlife if you go out on Friday, you don't have to go to sleep until midday Saturday (if your wallet is fat and you're a club rat). Not quite Berlin's Friday -> Monday morning, but that's too much for me.
Ask HN: What are alternative ways of visualizing and managing tabular data?
One of the functionalities of our application is the management of what we call parameters or entities. There are different entity types and they can have relationships between each other. Typically there are a lot of entities (rows) per entity type, and there also a lot of keys (columns).

The way we addressed this visually is by allowing the user to manage cells in a row/column or tabular based approach. Think of it as a big excel file, with each sheet representing a certain entity and then relationships are created using key/foreign keys.

I am thinking however that this is not the optimal ways of managing parameters, and want to try to think out of the box a bit.

What are some of your thoughts/ideas on how to approach this problem?
Sometimes. I feel good when my post or comment gets votes.

Not really sure I agree - particularly for skilled engineers. The salary gap at the mid to high-end between the UK and US is large right now, even at FAANG-grade firms. I have recent first hand experience of watching US based FAANG employees who were otherwise keen to do it turn down an offer to work in London for a year due to the drop in salary and living conditions.

The "other things" aren't what they once were either - I'd take my US private health care over the current state of the UK's NHS any day of the week right now. The wait times for even basic treatments are insane, and thats before we consider the wider state of the UK economy and public services.

> you will have your skilled visa in about 2 weeks depending on the country.

You can't really generalize like this in my experience - there are so many individual factors - just where you were born is going to affect how long your visa takes in many countries. The systems also vary enormously, from opaque hard to navigate like UK/US to open points based like Canada or Australia etc. It takes far longer than two weeks just waiting for an H1B decision result too in most cases.
Parts of Germany instated laws that allowed to arrest people without trial for 30days.

They claimed to only use it to prevent severe crimes like terrorism.

Current statistics show, the most people that got arrested via that laws are climate activists.

So either the law makers and police are incompetent and therefore shouldn't make these laws way or they know what they are doing and therefore shouldn't make these laws.

BTW these laws made for "good reasons" don't get the jobs done.
Yawn, another doomsday post because someone is scared of change...
plausibly, and plausibly making private communication illegal would result in less private communication successfully taking place, but it certainly wouldn't result in private communication dwindling to an insignificant activity, which is the most charitable interpretation i could come up with for the obviously absurd claim i was rebutting, 'if it's illegal people just won't use it'

I'm thinking about Chat GPT in the general sense as a search engine replacement. I have no knowledge of or interest in apps that offer legal advice using Chat GPT as a back end. Seems risky unless you show a lot of disclaimers.
I see what you mean, but I wouldn't compare $20 for work to e.g. $20 for Netflix Pro Gold Premium; it's business vs entertainment.

You're probably right that it's a medium-term game for employees (if their employer isn't ready to pay the $20, which I assume they would be), but you will certainly be more productive and get things done quicker than others (and probably measurably so), which should give you a good spot for a promotion or negotiations. But of course, that only really works if you derive value from ChatGPT. If it's more of a "my work is easier but not faster or better", then it won't make sense.

Do you find that this creates a degree of background stress/anxiety? After many years of being a highly effective IC/consultant, I’m still trying to adapt to being primarily a manager with a software engineer title, and not sure how well that’s going. It can feel unsettling.
Honestly just fiddling with quotes and parens takes forever - this is a nice usage.
> But they should also understand that policy are rarely the enemy, either, and treating them as such will result in a worse outcome on average.

If you are afraid of what will happen to you if you don't comply with everything someone says, they are your enemy.
Dunno. Say you bought a bored ape nft, it would be possible for different virtual worlds to let you have that look for your avatar in the game. The bored ape people would probably have to pay something to the world operators for them to implement it but it doesn't seem impossible and might be kinda fun.
> the kinds of amazing interfaces that developers can build when you give them the raw bedrock APIs that other platforms already give their developers.

They don't provide just the "raw bedrock APIs". They also provide a plethora of high-level APIs, including controls, layouts etc.

Fair enough. I wonder when the change happened, as someone born in 1979 in Ft. Lauderdale I had the same freedom (even requirement!) to go out on my own as a child that many posters have mentioned here.

Assange's alleged crimes are not political.
So many events missing. This story itself is an example of why people have lost faith.

No WMDs in Iraq for me was the one that turned me. A Republican administration seeding the New York Times that lie and they published it with basically no research. The former CEO of Halliburton, Dick Cheney, who oversaw the acquisition of KBR for fuck sake (the largest private contractor in the Iraq war with $10s? of billions of contract dollars per year)[1]) was the de-facto president of the US at the time.

The Hunter Biden laptop story being suppressed as Russian misinformation right before the election when it was legitimate is another big one.

[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KBR_(company)
"In the 2000s, KBR employed more American private contractors and had a larger contract with the U.S. government than any other firm in Iraq. The company's roughly 14,000 U.S. employees in Iraq provide logistical support to the U.S. military.[38] Some U.S. Marines revived the Vietnam-era nickname 'Burn & Loot' as a name for the company during the Iraq War.[39]"

You mean there are people who genuinely feel that it should be an arrrestable offence to let an 8-year-old out on their own?

Well, sure; that doesn't surprise me. But what some cop "feels" bears no relation to what the law is.
> The fantasyland is when we imply that they never speak to each other, never make plans, and have no agendas. It's a failure of thinking at scale.

Like with all games and cybersport in particular, that last 0.5% of finesse is all that matters, this is decent imitation but not really CS1.6.
To give some idea my Rk3588 idles somewhere 1.75 to 2.2 watt range, ran it for 17 hours mostly idle except for some apt upgrade/installs on a kill-a-watt to accumulate 0.03 kwh.

Using geekbench 5 your J4105 gets 396 single-core and 1294 multi-core. The rk3588 gets 684 single-core and 2680 multi-core. So rk3588 is 1.7x the single core performance and 2.0x the multi-core performance at around half the power (2w vs 4w).

I've not found make problems with ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Large source code compiles like building rust/go just work, and so far I've found all the ubuntu packages I expected. Sure I'm sure there's some codes that don't like AArch64, but the situation does seem to be improving.
I wouldn’t call that an Easter egg. It’s not hidden.

At a moderate distance, assuming LAION OpenAssistant and/or Carper.ai deliver.
This particular case isn’t like that all.

Do you agree with the premise that it would be incredible dumb and dangerous not to structure their business into a legal limited liability company?

Do you agree that the accounting and tax handling is best left to professionals because it can be complicated and because you trade a little bit of money for the peace of mind that you’re following the rules and more free time?

If you agree with those two points, then the act of paying out the profits as a dividend instead of a salary rolls out pretty much for free. Because it’s not some hard to set up tax avoidance construction, it’s the norm.
Don’t be so sure! Top Gun Maverick made more money than any marvel movie last year.

I blame open offices. I used to love coming into work and having my own space to work. Then open offices came around and I nope'd the heck out of there. I no longer had my own desk. The pleasant quiet cubical became a loud PITA. There was no longer even the little privacy I had when I first started working.

I miss being able to hang out with work friends at the office, but not enough to go back to the open floor plan horror show. Not to mention living downtown near 3 freeways and having to dodge traffic just to get some groceries...
This is a subthread about the median income that we would compare the $7M payout to, not the $7M payout itself. It certainly falsifies the graph paulluuk linked to, and using high CA taxes on the Bay 12 payout only further undermines paulluuk's comparison.
This works both ways.

Other motives are also suspected among the people and organisations fighting these laws.
I have karma?
There's a ride at Universal Studios Orlando that does this. Omitting details because it was a great surprise.
Those cops are lucky they didn’t pick the wrong family to mess with.
Not particularly. The closest thing to a benefit for gaining karma is the ability to downvote others at 500, and even then that's not very useful unless others join in.

Personally, I wish that downvoting wasn't an option at all, since its only purpose is to potentially hide opinions you disagree with. Sure, the purpose is SUPPOSED to be about keeping discussions relevant, but we all know that's not what people use it for.
The "free press" in the First Amendment refers to the right of any individual to freely operate the machinery of publication, not any grant of special rights to "the press" as the collective of journalists and related trades.

Don't let them trick you!
Personally, I read The Economist on a weekly basis and feel that is very good quality. Not that I think it's 100% accurate or always right (though they admit when they are wrong and put in corrections), but the writing is also good and just enjoyable to read. Like reading a novel from a good author. It also gives a good breadth of coverage even if not always super in-depth.

This is a very different experience from watching cable news for example. Yet both are considered "The Media"
wow -- jeepathon2k made my brain tingle. I cannot believe that I still remember that map.

I'm simply making the suggestion that "Hey guys, you shouldn't hate $currenttopic, you should hate $completelyunrelated" contributes nothing to any discussion in which it's uttered.

Yeah, the 162 treatment defense is the thing I've seen on here that seems like it may hold some water, and I'm planning to go back to my CPA and talk about it with them.

To be clear my companies are going to be fine either way, but I am not a fan of pulling up the ladder of success behind me and the me of 10 years ago trying to start his first thing shouldn't have to deal with this nonsense.
Right. And 'unable to utilize' I think just is about the credit being non-refundable. EG, if are otherwise already showing a loss, then you don't want to use the credit. If you have reportable income, then the R&D credit might be beneficial.

Though, I'm not sure you can split the credit or carry any forward, etc. Every tax situation is different.
Even though that gets brought up as a reason very often it is not true. Firstly the US (like many other democracies) has a two house system. The senate is designed to counter balance the power of high population states. Even if the US went to a popular vote system now it would not be governed by california and NY, because the senate gives disproportionate power to smaller states.

If you read historians opinions there are several reasons, the "big States get all the power" is typically not cited [1], however one important reason which does get cited is slavery. The southern states wanted a way to count slaves as population without actually letting them vote. The three fifth rule was the compromise [2 - 4]

I don’t know for sure but 3.5M lifetime sales times 30 is $105M*70% is $73.5M, they have around 30 employees, maybe they pay $200K a year, so that’s $36M over 6 years, netting them $37.5M. I could be way off though.
Still might be worth it. My strategy for getting "raises" always was:

1. increase productivity
2. ask for a raise
3. profit or change company

and it worked pretty good last 7 years. Certain investments in tools definitely helped with that.
