This is the problem with people who think like you. You see someone say "there can be good reasons to suspend rights in exceptional circumstances" and you just go and find an example of a terrible justification to suspend rights (sometimes with an outright evil or cruel motivation), as if it was the same thing.

When I used the example of STIs, I was alluding to things like how the "duty to report" [1] and the criminalization of very limited and targeted behaviours [2] have the effect of narrowing very specific rights in very specific circumstances. These are policies that are reasonable and that generally are designed to limit rights and freedoms as little as possible in order to achieve a particular goal. We're not talking about suspending rights just because it's "convenient", and I wasn't alluding to using humans as guinea pigs for unethical research programmes... I don't know what you were thinking.

You apparently don't see the difference, but that doesn't mean you have special insight-- if anything, it just means you're confused about the principles at play (or, perhaps more charitably, you're assuming that I'm a fool and are misinterpreting what I'm saying).

> a reliable store of value is one that preserves its purchasing power over time.

let's break this down.

Over a long time, technological improvements happen, which makes "things" cheaper, all else equal. So presumably, maintaining purchasing power over time means you get to partake in these technological improvements for zero risk - ala, your $1000 dollar can be used to buy an iphone in 10yrs time that is hundreds of times better.

But the implicaation that you didn't take any risk - the losses on development & research, investment and the dead ends - are all paid for by somebody else. If the investors demand a high return based on this risk, they will absorb all of the profit from taking the risk. This absorption includes a return on the price of said goods being sold, so it _cannot_ cost the same in 10 yrs time as today and only account for inflation (if this were the case, it means they made no profit).

So both scenarios cannot coexist - you either lose purchasing power by not investing, ala you lose to inflation (same thing). Or the technological improvements don't come.

While it's not easy or simple for every facility, in general it seems to be possible to pull whatever data you want from Epic and other EHRs. There might be a fee, work order, and vendor involved, but if you want a 100GB CSV containing certain columns, it's generally possible.

Of course matching that data up with sets from other locations will still involve someone in the middle gluing it all together.

Not really. The perforations on the shadowmask (or aperture grille in later displays) were significantly smaller than the electron beam -- a single pixel would always consist of multiple phosphors of each color. There was never any expectation that pixels on the display would line up with the phosphors.
Also, off-by-one errors.

The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman
Curious to know whether anyone else here have read this, and their thoughts on it. I've just finished my first reading and found it entirely impossible to stop until I had read the whole thing. I've left a comment to kick off a discussion:

- There's an obvious symmetry with our own times, where stories and facts are smeared together. It's touching how clear it rings of "we see what we want to see" in the modern world of an infinitude of hot takes and narratives. Of course, even more recently, generative AI puts an even more literal spin in this direction.

- Desire and Will. In this book these two are differentiated in that desire cannot be changed, whereas you can will a desire into existence. I'm not sure about the philosophical basis of this - I've not read The World As Will and Representation - but I have a feeling it might strike some similar notes.

- In the interest of not spoiling the book, I'll say the carnal stuff is very in-your-face and deliberately so. The author was definitely shocking when she tried to be.

Apple invited Flash developers at top sites (CNN, ESPN, NYTimes, etc) to a week-long class in embedding Video in cross-browser compatible video codex instead of Flash, right before the release of the iPad, so Jobs would have sites to demo with on stage.

AI is different. A 10x developer can now potentially build at 100x speed with Copilot and GPT4, but with the built-in sandbox it is likely that GPT will not only run but also optimize code beyond what any developer can do. I have no doubt that within weeks if not months, there will AI generated code a human will not be able to understand that will outperform and be available with just a word request.

This is not a shift from Flash to JS. That’s a shift from Software Engineering to being a Business Analyst overnight and the compensation will be even less due to oversupply of white collar talent. Management will be reduced too. This is not doom and gloom, this is prepare for these layoffs to be permanent and increased within months.

> They can take pride in their skill as a smith elsewhere too.

I can take pride in my skill anywhere I want. What I care about is that my employer takes pride in my skill.

Even if another pays more, I’d prefer working for someone that appreciates my skill (and shows that in ways not necessarily salary based).

Of course there’s a limit to this, but it’s generally true.

As I see it, this is another step in a field whose history is a story of force-multipliers. 60 years ago, they used punch-cards.

When did we move onto this? I guess you are referring to the UN, and the "rules-based international order" where you need UN approval to go bomb a country that didn't attack you. Stuff like that, right?

Well, just to keep on that narrow focus (and not even invoking anything else), the USA and NATO has violated it multiple times in the last 25 years alone. Let's just take one relatively tame example:

In 1999, NATO bombed Yugoslavia after being denied approval by the UN. Their rationale: "to stop a genocide of Kosovar Albanians" sounds very much like Russia's rationale: "to stop a genocide of ethnic Russians in Donbass". They bombed it for many days, killing hundreds of civilians in the process. Well, thankfully, Russia did not send endless weapons to Yugoslavia to defend itself against NATO, so Yugoslavia surrendered and had to agree to let NATO peacekeepers be stationed in Kosovo. This is not normally considered "NATO occupying part of Yugoslavia", but peacekeepers.

Afterwards Yugoslavia fell apart. Kosovo declared independence unilaterally. This all has parallels with the Ukraine war. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo_independence_precedent

At the very least, we cannot seriously say that "NATO is a purely defensive alliance". And we can't say "Russia's invasion was unprovoked and unjustified" while simultaneously defending NATO interventions in Kosovo, Libya, Syria, or USA invasions of Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

Many countries did in fact denounce what NATO was doing. And many countries denounced the invasion of Iraq. However, I have heard people bring up ad-hoc justifications for it like "well, it's not as bad because we didn't want to annex any part of Iraq".
I think the underlying assumption is that there is (an invariant) structure and distribution that becomes more resolved (q) as more data is incorporated. Training LLMs also involves sequences of tokens by design so that is also implicit. The only venue left is to question whether this (n -> q) is a linear relationship or something else. That would only matter if we were looking at absolute measure (to compare say an LLM architecture to something else), but as a comparative measure for LLMs it works, whether it is o(n) or o(logn) or whatever, since more tokens means more sequences and more sequences mean greater ability.

I didn't say it's not there. or that you couldn't communicate the ideas of math/arithmetic with language.

You can get GPT-3 (yes 3) to have 98.5% accuracy on addition arithmetic (even very large numbers) by..simply describing the algorithm of addition to performed on 2 numbers.
https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.09066

The basic idea i'm communicating is that not everything that can be extracted from self supervisory token prediction can be extracted with the same ease. and it is very easy to see why math is one the higher difficulty things.

It is extremely easy comparatively to infere "happy" from the sentence - John is smiling therefore he is ----. all the information you need to make that inference is packed tightly in the preceding words. it is not the same for arithmetic at all.

I strongly disagree with that.
>"And all the LED lighting I've ever seen is repairable; you just need a soldering iron to do it"

Why not? What if something requires a screwdriver? I'd say that's not repairable either, by your definition, because it requires special tools.

If something can't be repaired realistically without destroying it (like a Microsoft Surface laptop), that's "not repairable". Needing a soldering iron is not a big deal.
Absolutely right, it is somewhat disappointing that the top two comments are just negative gut reactions by commenters that don't seem to have actually read the article.

I don't understand - what do you find confusing about Ukrainian players not wanting to play with those playing under their invader's flag?

What hypocrisy have those Ukrainian players shown? If the US invaded Ukraine they may we'll have decided not to play American chess players.

As for your note that there are multiple "actors" in the Ukrainian conflict, many people don't buy that. They don't think Russia has any legitimate right to "buffer" states.
Wow. This is the most amazing take I have seen. It is truly boggling to see somebody trying to lay this at the feet of the employees.

It’s not that activist billionaire, shareholders are demanding layoffs. It’s the workers fault for wanting a share of the pie and not just taking what they’re given quietly and meekly.

You’re right, it’s not a class struggle. For it to be a struggle both parties have to recognize that it’s actually a struggle.

This argument would make sense if the companies doing the layoffs were largely unprofitable, and not spending huge sums of money on stock buybacks and inflated executive salaries.
While I take your meaning here, I would suggest also that natural languages are even more stupidly information-dense. And while the rules of their logic are not as hard and immutable as the semantics of programming languages, they do have plenty.
I don't have a place that I own or rent that's called home. I am living as an undocumented refugee, somewhere in Europe. Sorry, I can't rely on physical storage of information (except mobile/portable devices). The place in which I live at is not on the list of what I can control. That's mainly decided by government(s) or my social network members a.k.a friends.

I have no idea of who or what pinned the ipfs content. I really don't gather those statistics and have never tried to do so. The only "metric" which grabs my attention is that the content is widely distributed and that its reliably accessible via more than one way (not depend on a single point of failure) over large-scale electronic networks/protocols (HTTPS, DNS, IPFS, ETH, ENS..).
It doesn't seem whataboutism in the comment, as the author says "Russia is a bad actor", so it's not about someone did something before, so it should be accepted now. It's more about non equal treatment of the same bad situation done by different parties. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
I like the `StrictHostKeyChecking accept-new` setting.

Accept new host key without prompting the usual `Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?` (great when scripting on 100+ servers). Still reject known hosts mismatch (so shity Wifi can't inject their ads). Everything can be setting up again by just removing `~/.ssh/known_hosts` (instead of that GitHub messy blog post about curling and seding output to `~/.ssh/known_hosts`).

> if an artist can be replaced by it, maybe that artist deserves it. I say this as an artist, 36 years of experience.

This is such an insane take to me at this point. I've used a few of the AI art generators and there is close to zero chance I will ever hire an artist or a graphic designer again (yes, I've hired artists).

I've seen the shortcomings, and sure a very expensive artist can fulfill my needs at an A+ level 100% of the time. But why would I pay so much money to a human artist when after a few minutes and a couple prompts I have a B+ or A- result? As a person with finite money, that last teeny bit of quality is not worth hundreds or thousands of dollars when compared with a very good result for essentially nothing.

People are saying the same thing about programming. That if you're set to be replaced by this you're not "very good". I cost a LOT of money. I am good at what I do. AI is essentially free at that too and learning at an insane rate.

This is absolutely going to break the world.
Interest rates have been low since 2008. Money markets were popular before then but we’re paying tony amounts for years. Same goes for bank cds. This is one reason for such a bill market run in stocks with money chasing yield going into stocks. A money market at near zero vs Verizon paying 4% was seen as a better deal. Only in the last year has cds and money markets come back into favor and there is a large move into them.

I care about being a professional, and delivering quality work. That's not the same as caring about a product/company.

Right - it isn't altruism; it's basic professionalism - and the only psychologically healthy thing to get through the day, actually.

"They're paying me decently, they don't take me for granted, don't get in my way of helping them and they definitely aren't jerks. So why not do a good job?"

Actually caring about the product/company doesn't need to factor into it.
It's a matter of degree though.

Do you just tell the AI "this person had cancer?", or "this person went into remission 1 year ago?" or "this person was treated with 4 lines of chemo, partial remission for 1 line, non-response for 2nd line, strong response for cycles 1-3 for 3rd line, but then discontinuation due to tolerability, then 4th line complete remission after 6 cycles plus two courses of radiotherapy"?

Theoretically you could do this, but capturing all this and correctly interpreting it is far harder for AI than for a human who has been directing treatment the entire time.
>> but it's more likely that land use becomes addressed via land value taxes rather than by appropriation.

Trust me, not only did I read it, but I also thought through these issues over the years.

"Yes, Politician B did do this-or-that immoral thing, but then again so do other politicians. So what's the big deal?"

This is not what's being said. What's being said is:

We typically want to stay neutral among conflicts. You are pressuring us to take an unprecedented step of banning athletes from country X because country X did an extremely egregious thing B. Sure, let's do it. Can we also ban country Y who did B times 10?

No, you can't. If you try we will retaliate!

So, you aren't really concerned about the principle. You first pick a target country (e.g. Israel) and then you come up with some spurious reasons which you don't actually believe in, just to bully us into taking this action

It's not about "whether it's not a big deal". It's about comparing apples to apples. Having a sense of proportion.

"You must eject this person from the group. They farted. That's beyond the pale."

"But you have been farting far more, and also punching people in the face, and you are still here. Should I eject you too?"

"Stop your Whataboutism! We are only talking about this one person!"

THAT is a logical fallacy
