I'm originally from a country that has proportional representation. Let me tell you - it's a total disaster.

One serious problem is actually the law you mention - in proportional rep there's a plethora of parties, most of whom have no chance of ever governing or influencing policy. Two-party states are better in that the population can punish party A by voting for party B and vice versa. In a many-party-state, some people stop voting for party A but they split their votes between B, C, D, and E, none of which are effective in opposing A.

The other serious issue is that each party has a completely unaccountable and opaque system for deciding on a list of representatives. Getting on that list presents wonderful opportunities for corruption for bad politicians.

I now live in first-past-the-post Canada and it's so much better. I have an actual politician who is motivated to help me when I ask and read my letters because a couple of thousand votes can swing the local election; whereas before I was a faceless, undifferentiated citizen and went completely ignored.
This 'Juice' concept elevates mundane experiences, making them more enjoyable and satisfying. While similar to the 'bells and whistles' concept, which often adds superficial embellishments that distract from the core experience, 'Juice' integrates seamlessly with the essential elements of a product or service. It's the secret sauce that makes cool products stand out. Personally, I'm always on the lookout for 'Juiced' products that deliver exceptional experiences. Even I try myself to juice my own Apps.
Sure, but isn't it more likely that a key that has to be shared by who knows how many ssh load balancer machines at GitHub and can't be easily rotated because it's pinned by millions of users, isn't it more likely that that private key gets eventually compromised or thought to be at risk at being compromised?

We need to compare the relative risks within the same context, namely within a company like GitHub

So it's not relevant to bring up failures of other CAs
I live in a Rust Belt city, and most of the homeschoolers within the city are secular, and stridently so (and here there's greater overlap between homeschoolers and unschoolers). There are plenty of Christian homeschoolers as well, and their reasons for that choice are quite varied. So, you are painting with a very broad brush and making assumptions based on cultural stereotypes.

Personally, my wife and I homeschooled our kids through junior high school, in a mix of Christian cooperatives and homespun curriculum. One kid went to high school at the local Roman Catholic school, the other to a public school.
> Considering that this will only apply to failing products

Companies like Google often shut down products that would be called incredibly successful if they were a startup or small business. In $BigCorp, the yardstick is their main moneymaker, and if you are less profitable and don't fit in the larger strategy you can get cut simply to help the company keep focus on what's important.
> you should be paying market rate for insurance on those funds

which, if you bought short term treasuries, you can easily just get that safety for "free" (aka, there's no such a need for insurance, unless you believe the insurers are safer than the US gov't).

Having it at a bank should've been equivalent, since you can make the bank's scale of economies in the buying/selling of short term treasuries to make it even easier (dare i say, even transparent). However, when a bank does this, they want to squeeze even a tiny bit more profit, and thus, instead of buying the requisite amount of short term treasuries, they bought long dated bonds/treasuries, which is insanely risky.

The VC depositor should've been financially savvy enough to look at their bank and see this, so i argue they did not deserve the bailout beyond the existing mandated FDIC one. it's causing moral hazard in the banking sector.
This is absolutely unbelievable when you think about it? I just checked to make sure it wasn't April 1.
The easiest way to run alpaca Lora locally is with this little known fork [1] that uses Docker. You’ll be up and running in about 20 min with pretty much any modern consumer Nvidia GPU.

> apple doesn't get the full advantage of tons of user data from the wild.

Do you think OpenAI did? Perhaps Apple doesn't have the vast amount of data that Google has, but if OpenAI managed to have like 200 wikipedia-sized corpuses of different textual data for their English GPT models, that's certainly not out of reach of Apple.

I have an Acer travelmate spin b3, which is a 11" convertible laptop.

Left side:
* barrel jack charging port
* HDMI
* microSD slot
* USB-C (also usable for charging)
* Gigabit ethernet

Right side:
* USB-A
* 3.5mm jack

Even discounting the microSD slot and the barrel jack, this is 5 ports. On a 11" laptop.

Granted, it's not exactly thin, but I really don't care.
One of the reasons artillery faded away as a tool of the American military is that we became unable to make the actual gun barrels as the steel industry declined in the 60s and 70s. No domestic sources produce the steels or can work them as required, for large artillery.

I lived in both sides of the fence, don't worry.

> just that we need to appreciate what we have and not talk out of our behinds about the oppression

Yes, I'm thankful to be able to discuss with you how badly we are screwed without fear of getting even more screwed.

What else should I be thankful for that our benevolent ruling class gives me? That they don't behead me and put my head on a stake?

You seem to mistakenly believe that I would like to burn down the system to live under a Khmer Rouge 2.0. I just don't live under any illusion that our ruling class is benevolent. That they exert their power through political influence and crony capitalism instead of just coming to my house and murdering my family is not something to be thankful for.
Inside The Saudi Strategy to Keep the World Hooked on Oil
Honestly, I've looked at shorting MS due to openai.

Their technology (LLMs), or the secret sauce, can easily be stolen just by the process of putting that tech out there.

Have a look at Alpaca, FB made it, someone leaked the weights and now there's a dataset of training it for only a few hundred dollars that can beat openai at its best.

Not everyone needs to employ a PhD for doing customer service, in the same way not everyone needs GPT5 for answering support queries.

Their business model is leaking away from them.

These are not comparable situations.
Ideally everyone should do a good job, sure, but cops are in an entirely different position in terms of power and responsibility.
as part of the executive arm of government they are tasked with holding the monopoly on violence and egregious mistakes in doing so are a fundamental violation of basic rights and the peaceful order of society.
When they screw up it's not a bad product being delivered, it's trust in society being eroded, lives being destroyed and the door to tyranny being opened just a little further.
severe deterrence against misbehavior, loosing a job honestly seeming VERY weak compared to the scale of responsibility at play here, should simply be par for the course in this context.

Big Tech was in trouble before the A.I. boom. In particular the idea that “I want to work for FAANG” has been Hacker News’s #1 delusion that really is more like “I want to get bit by an Alligator”

You certainly get paid well at those firms (except for one of the A’s) but you won’t learn anything transferable because those firms are profitable because of monopolies (F, G, and 1.5 A’s) or over capitalization (N, half an A, look at the case of Uber, it is easy to sell a lot of half price taxi rides but it doesn’t make money in the long term.)

The technology of LLMs may wind up less centralized than you think, the current networks are still pretty inefficient as people understand how they work they’ll get cheaper to build and run, On huggingface (which publishes numerous free models) they list 13 applications of transformers but y’all are hung up on just 1 of them. (Getting seduced by text-generation bullshitters)

As I see it there is a whole world opening wide and it is time to jump in. The danger is not that those chatbots replace coders it is that they replace the Donald Trumps and L. Ron Hubbard’s and Eliezer Yudkowskys.
>what surprise me is that a Windows 11 Pro licence cost 259 Euro. Micro$oft still make a lot of money with windonws =)

Not really. Windows 11 Pro retail is $199 today which might sound steep but in comparison Windows XP Pro retail was $299 in 2001 which adjusted for inflation would be $500 today. Ouch!

Windows 95 retailed at a whopping $205 in '95 or ~$400 in today's money, while a retail Win 11 Home is $139 now.

So Windows has actually gotten massively cheaper, which is weird considering that OS complexity, update frequency has increased and SW dev salaries and expenses have gone up since then.
Indeed peripherals like printers usually have "mainboards" and not motherboards.

IIRC it's so since Titanium PowerBooks which were the first to go widescreen at Apple, so it's 2001. Then aluminum PowerBooks with 16:10 screens, too. Intel MacBook Pros continued the trend.
I the US the process can absolutely be a nightmare. But laws have absolutely changed because they were effectively unenforceable. Towards the end of prohibition juries were regularly refusing to convict anyone on drinking charges. Didn't take long, all things considered, for the law to be thrown out because it kept clogging up the legal system with cases that ended in not guilty.

My original point was simply that juries can be doing something about laws they disagree with now. Often this topic turns to a solution that is entirely rebuilding the system which is an almost impossible feat - the system is too bjgto just put on hold for a year while we all decide what to replace it with.

I don't know if you've ever been on a jury closely related to a case, but both the judge and prosecutor will describe the jury's job as hearing the law, revising the facts presented,and deciding if the law as written a broken. We have taken that lesson and treated it this way, but a jury can tell the lawyers to f$#& off and decide whether they want to punish not whether the law was broken.

I gave a try at Alpaca-LoRA with tloen's tuning and it definitely feels in reach of GPT 3. Not quite as good, but some of that may just be in whatever's going on with OpenAI's hidden prompts encouraging lots of text out of the model.

Does it really? Honestly, it's hard to take such sentiments seriously when you start mentioning these particular "hype" billionaires.

For one, it seems like most spite comes of expecting them to act like some godly idols, instead of like some dudes. But largely, it's just that there are so much worse examples, dealing in so much worse things.

You just can't help but wonder if the person actually grasps the scale, or if the whole thing boils down to distaste of someone's character and behavior.

At a notebook-specific forum I frequent[1], a user has noticed that the Framework 16 modular discrete graphics solution uses a connector first used by Dell in its Precision 7530 and 7730 workstation notebooks, released in 2018. The connector is called 'Dell Graphics Form Factor' (DGFF), and is the array of gold LGA pads on the motherboard seen in the bottom-right screenshot in a photo, at the above link.
Dell has been using DGFF ever since, in all Precision 7XXX notebooks and the Alienware Area-51m, to facilitate modular GPUs.

However, Dell changes its notebook layout every two years, so these GPUs are not upgradeable after two generations (so a 7530 could be upgraded to a GPU from a 7540, but not a GPU from a 7550, released in 2020).

It's going to be interesting how Framework adapts the connector for its own use. The Dell cards are fairly high-powered; in the most recent 7770 (17" workstation), the RTX 3080 Ti and Quadro RTX A5000 cards may draw up to 130 W.

Some examples of previous and current DGFF discrete cards (all by Dell, for Dell notebooks) are here[2][3][4][5]. Notice the difference to the previous mobile GPU connection standard, MXM 3[6], which was used by Dell in its Precisions until 2018, when it changed to DGFF, HP in its ZBooks until about 2020 when it changed to a soldered solution. Other notebook ODMs like Clevo and Tongfang still use MXM cards in their desktop replacement notebooks. I'm not sure if Clevo still sells these monsters; they had a 780 W power brick, itself heavier than many slimmer notebooks.

I’ll keep repeating this: if you don’t have a career future you who are smart, engaged, knowledgeable and passionate, then no one does in any field. Personally, I believe this tech will change work, make it faster, let us get more done and remove our blockers faster. Like the introduction of the computer to the office, we will have to adapt and re-learn, but will also be more productive. You sound like a person to loves to learn and so would be at an advantage.

But if this really is going to destroy wide swaths of jobs, if it becomes a human-level AGI copilot that lets a CEO run a Fortune 500 with just a few dozen prompt engineers, then forget trying to become a plumber. We will have the most massive wave of unemployment in history and it will end either in basic income and quality of life for all or a butlerian jihad.

16:10 goes ALL the way back to some of the earliest widescreen LCDs. The original Apple Cinema Display was 1600x1024 in 1999. This was predated by the SGI 1600SW with the same resolution in 1998.
You cannot just pop in any panel that you like. The whole assembly needs to accommodate for it. I think your company would have to be obscenely rich to afford such a supply chain so it could offer different display assemblies for the same laptop.
You have isolated yourself to only one type of capitalism, and then seemly incorrectly extracted free markets from being capitalism, when in reality in lay terms free markets is what people refer to as capitalism. The other esoteric types of capitalism are not widely known and therefore in common language should not be used in place of the more widely accepted understanding of free markets when talking about "capitalism" in colloquial conversation as we are here.

In short when having informal conversations a person referring to "capitalism" should be assumed to be talking about free market capitalism unless they indicate otherwise, Not to be assumed to be referring to corporatism, crony capitalism, mercantilism or any other types of capitalism

<< why is no one there pushing for a federal level single training institution and increased academy training.

Well at least here the answer is somewhat simple.

There is a deep ingrained level of distrust for federal government. It has been there since country's foundation and the past few decades have done nothing to lower it ( and one can reasonably argue it has only increased ). In a sense, the reason is structural.

<< It needs to be federal, standardized, and just longer than the few months training US cops have.

FWIW, FBI is effectively federal police. I think you will agree that they had their fair share of, uhm, not great behavior.

<< I mean knowing my local government incompetence I would be pretty nervous in having people with guns being trained by a local institution.

The whole point of cop that is local is that people will not, ehkm, revolt, because random guy from NY got plopped in AK and does not understand the basic environment they are in.

I personally prefer local. I think last year I went to our local quarterly neighbors/cops outreach and I was largely happy with what the sheriff had to say, because it dealt with MY local issues and not some pre-ordained stuff from the top.

Like I said, the issue is structural, because US is a massive country.

Gell Mann Amnesia
I have the Aranet4. Pretty expensive (220 eur) but I'm very happy with it. During the reconstruction of our house, we are sharing a bedroom with the kids. It's cold, we close things... First night I saw CO2 go up to 2500 ppm and I got up to open windows. I had headaches every morning, that's gone now (I do have cold nostrils now though).

And now I'm using it to check all spaces, I'm going to need some active ventilation in almost all rooms it seems like.

I feel that CO2 ppm is a good proxy for measuring the need for ventilation (which is also needed when cooking, moisture etc). I'm using the hell out of the device. It's nice that it will probably last >1 year on a standard battery.

One device in every room would be cool, coupled to Home Assistant to steer Blauberg ventilation units or something... The Aranet is too expensive for that, so great to see developments like this.

I guess the "damages" claims don't arise from filming them, but from making the video public.

Still, it seems to me (IANAL) that the suit doesn't stand a snowflake's chance in hell. In particular, they reckon their damages not based on any actual damage, but on the earnings Afroman made from publicising them.

Well, that's what the report says; but it's from The Grauniad, and the quality of reporting in that organ has been declining rather quickly (whatever Wikipedia says about "reliable sources").
If the rules are what are advertising before the crisis then we'd have evidence of that by now. They are not the rules. The rules are that money will be printed and bailouts given. There are a lot of things that might surprise us, but the fact that the response to a crisis turned out to be a bailout was always a given.

Libertarian means they should acknowledge that these bailouts are making everyone worse off. But if we're going to do the bailouts anyway? I want libertarians to be first in line. There is no point letting authoritarians gain an advantage because of theoretical considerations; there were ample opportunities for the libertarian solution to be bought in from 2007-2022. They weren't, so at this point there is no reason for the brunt of the damage to fall on people who believe in freedom.
This here is why I never believe anything someone says about cryptocurrencies. Every time I ask a crypto enthusiast they'll eventually relent that yes they do own a lot of crypto they expect will go up in price.
