I think this issue is that we are giving these companies the ability to reveal sensitive information about us.

We should rethink how we share our data and the costs that it has.

I don't think Meta and Google are to blame here. Other than encouraging us to give them our data unprotected (as well as trying to syphon up as much as they can get their hands on in the background).

> US electricity rules are something out of a 3rd world country

If you read about the CEE 7 standard that aims to unify power plugs and sockets in European countries [1], which includes the "Europlug" [2] mentioned in a sibling comment, you'll see that the situation is not any better than in the US.

For example, about the CEE 7/7 plug which bridges the difference between socket types in Germany (2-pronged - also in Denmark, Spain, etc.) and France (3-pronged - also in Belgium, Czechia, Poland), it mentions:

> This plug can be inserted into a Danish Type K socket, but earthing is not enabled.

Just based on how the entire article is structured, and the way it links in supporting evidence that normal people don't do, its like a delusional rant almost, but there's something off, honestly, the inconsistency in certain areas makes it looks like a number of articles that were generated by chat-GPT. Anyone else getting that vibe?

Aside from that, it completely ignores the division of labor, and AI isn't being developed to augment production, its being developed to replace human's as the source of productive effort.

For the communist bashing it does about universal basic income, its positively influencing socialist topics, cherry picking, and quite ironic.

The benefits we get from being the primary form of production are growth from challenges, professional experience, money, food, the means to support children, etc.

There's a lot of good reasons why thinking machines are generally outlawed/banned on pain of death in realistic scifi literature.

Overpopulation isn't a problem anyone wants to touch. What use is humanity if the environment becomes disadvantaged to human intellect, and there are too many mouths to feed for the resources available. There are always limits to growth.

Most benefits we enjoy today have only been possible through the division of labor.
Indeed. A household with a single wage earner will have a lot more free time. Its not just cleaning and cooking, it's paying bills, organising holidays, going shopping, arranging events/parties, socialising with neighbours, taking kids places, birthday cards/presents, keeping up with local council issues to be able to vote sensibly... the list goes on.

Honestly, given where the productivity gains of women in the workforce went (not to the actual workers), we'd probably have a better quality of life if only half the household adults worked.

This ceases to be a valid excuse when those people then jump into the middle of a discussion exclusively about laws and politics in the US.
> I'm not sure this principle is a good one. Almost everyone had probably broken a law or two (yes, this meane there are too many bad laws, let me know if youve an idea of how to solve that), so by investigating someone for some random thing they haven't done you've got a good chance of finding something. This de facto gives imprisonment powers to the police and prosecutors office, giving plenty of opportunity for corruption.

You raise a great point that we don't seem to be questioning what an AGI would actually want to do (or even if it would want anything at all), in favor of just assuming it would have certain human traits.

These anthropomorphized traits tend to either be a selfless pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the universe, including a desire to share that knowledge with us. Or, are a darker, more selfish lust for power and control and a desire to deceive us.

I think proponents of the singularity make the assumption that an AGI would have the selfless set of human traits whether naturally or hard wired.

Social media companies can't decide that a warrant is "invalid". Only a court can decide that.

From the article:

> Goldman indicated examples where internet services affirmatively go to court to protect user interest, "but those are the exceptions." "There's thousands of requests for every one of those cases"
It's actually quite different. That "someone much better than you" has limited time and is probably expensive to hire, therefore there can still be opportunities for less-skilled people. When that "someone" is an AI, we expect it to be easily replicated to satisfy all demand, at much lower cost than the wages needed to support a human.

I know this seems unrealistic, but rather than change how Open Source works, maybe we should change the rest of society to work more like Open Source?

It's unclear exactly why it doesn't work as well for you.

I have two comments that may be useful:

1) It's very unclear how good the generative capabilities of LLAMA are generally. It benchmarks well for code generation, but for English there aren't really any good benchmarks around. There's good chance the larger model performs much better since generative capabilities seem to be a partially emergent capability.

2) If you just want to "make it work" I'd suggest downloading all the Star Trek scripts you can that include Captain Picard and fine tuning LLAMA using them. It's unclear how well this will work, but that is probably about as good as you can get.

If you care about this probably deeply, it's probably worth trying the same with some of the other open GPT-3 models (GPTJ, GPT-NEOX etc)
That definition would apply to almost anything software produces ^^;

We can already have different licenses for compiled binaries vs the source. Also the output of ML seems to belong to whoever pressed the generate button atm.
> Firstly, can you even prosecute a woman for abortion? Aren't they legal?

This part.
> as in you can actually set it to some other non-sign extended 48 bit value with your program today and you’ll just get an MMU exception when you go to use it

You get an error because you didn't sign extend. That doesn't tell you anything concrete about the address size.

> After all the CPU doesn’t know something in a register is to be treated as a memory address until after the value is already loaded into the register.

> The advantage of 48 but addressing in x86-64 is fewer levels of page lookups (speed up), not abbreviated addresses.

If you're taking advantage of the address size in your program, you do only load 48 bits into your register from memory. Usually this is inside of a larger struct, or you've partitioned a 64 bit word into address plus flags.

One method that gets significant use is NaN boxing for dynamically typed values. Double precision floats are stored as-is, while other types of value including multiple types of pointer are squeezed into the 53 unused bits of a NaN.

Things like comments being used to provide optimiser hints in SQL queries are the bane of people writing parsers or anything that depends on them.

I think folding/lint/etc. markers are poor examples here, because they're basically annotations for other tools which seems entirely fine.

However comments that affect the behaviour of the code itself are really much less fun to deal with.

Worrying that JSON implementations would end up acquiring the latter is pretty fair given our track record as a species.

Except in this case, they are doing both. To not do what you're asking (not turn over data on abortion seekers), they would be breaking the law if they received a valid warrant.

Cola, excess vitamin C, and anything high in oxalate equal stone growth.

There are several stone types with different pathologies.

High citrate intake is generally good to counteract growth but there is no shrinking existing stones through diet. Anyone claiming this is a liar.

ESWL or surgery for anything larger than a few mm because passing would be brutal.
It's at least good that they're moving in this direction at all. Maybe the pricing isn't spot-on, or the capacity isn't there, or there are debates over the ticketing or there are some other issues.

Yep. Too many people design systems (both technical and otherwise) under the assumption 'their team' will always be in control, and it'll be their enemies who suffer.

Or that hey, this power will never be abused because the system won't allow it, and those in control will always have our best interests in mind.

Don't collect more data than you have to, limit the power of any systems you implement, and always design things under the assumption your enemies will take control of it in future.
Can you not hack together something to create a 'floating' keyboard? In other words a beams of light shine down each letter (forming a complete keyboard) and then a receiving mat (or possibly bounce back sensors in the head unit?) and any beam interuption/change of state registers as a keypress, so in effect 'air typing' a bit like the musicians of the 70's and 80's playing laser keyboards

I mean, SCOTUS said otherwise for fifty years. They decide what is and isn't legitimate and it was fair play until last year.

I agree with you in principle but AFAIK "actual laws" have never been necessary when the SCOTUS has declared a Constitutional right. Individual states don't need to codify a right to keep and bear arms, or freedom of speech or religion, nor can they choose to re-enable slavery or segregation, because those have all been decided at a higher level.

As it happens the Dutch authorities were pretty good with collecting ethnicity and confessional data in the inter-war period, then the very bad guys came along and we know what followed.

Data collection at scale and especially data centralization has always been a mistake, too bad many of the livelihoods of us here depend on exactly that.
The crucial difference is that pot users don't suffer from the massive U-turn. Rather, they celebrate it. They're the ones who lobbied for the change.

Gross profits are fine. We’ll leave the 25%. If people aren’t working full time (which was assumed in the calculation) then that means it’s >25% increase in salary. Seems pretty life changing to those employees tbh. Imagine a 25%-50% raise? Life changing to someone who is intentionally denied work so they can be denied benefits.
Yes, that too.

While there is the rare hidden gem, the most reliable way is to seek out reputable brands. That's the whole point of a brand. A brand encompasses a set of ideals and principles that become characteristic in the product, creating a market for like minded customers. The longer a brand is in existence and the more consistent they are with their principles, the greater is their reputation.

Of course, if a brand doesn't do their own manufacturing, you might find the same product white labeled by another seller. In some cases the seller might have a big reputation themselves like in the case of big box retailers, but in most cases are just internet drop shippers. Enterprising people might seek out such white labeled goods and save some costs if they discover it comes from the same manufacturer, but wiser people will see the value in paying for quality control, service & warranty and supporting the brand.
Even in the UK, which has quite stringent electric regulations, you can get two-conductor cables with a plastic earth pin (which is always required even if you don't need grounding as otherwise the shutters covering the live and neutral holes are not withdrawn). On the other end, it could have a "figure-of-8" IEC connector.

And I definitely noticed a tingle on some metal laptops even when they have a 3-pin plug and a "Mickey mouse" IEC connector on the cable to the power brick.
