Europe isn't any different, just the things being argued about.

But no, back in those days this board was absolutely dominated by ancaps and other libertarian types. The socialists and other progressives only really started getting active in the aftermath of Occupy Wall Street. Like any other causeheads, they tirelessly fill these boards with their messaging. The only thing that they really come together to agree on is "fuck the poor". You see it whenever posts about homelessness, zoning or rent regulation pop up.

Lectures are fun though. At least here in the United States, we're so serious about bigotry that even a statement that can be misinterpreted will destroy your career. Then Europeans deride us for being a divided, racist country...meanwhile all across Europe you have major political parties getting large double digit percentages of the vote running on hateful anti-immigrant platforms, major political candidates pulling stunts like burning the Quran as a party demonstration and football players getting racist expletives shouted at them during their matches. And we haven't started talking about Asia yet. That gets even more special.

So please, tell me more about how this is limited to the United States.

Without the law applying to all, there is no law.

The fact that we've come this far -- with all that Trump has done -- and are now only getting to what equates to a grain of sand in the grand scheme of all that he has managed to pull off... that tells you a lot. We've been playing with fire for a long time. If this isn't just the start of charges, we're in a lot of trouble.
Okay, instead of taking this at face value (with a big acknowledgment that it is genuinely frustrating that both Google and Microsoft don't have good contacts to just know what went wrong), I'll analyse this carefully.

This website is operated by Virtual Industries Group (https://www.vig.co.nz/), which is according to their website operates three services: School Bookings/School Interviews (https://www.schoolinterviews.co.nz/, focused on school scheduling and the service discussed here), Care Bookings (https://www.carebookings.co.nz/, which is the same service as above but focuses on day-care and other similar functions), and MessageMyWay (https://www.messagemyway.com/, which according to their website "is the communications hub for your community. It is your emergency communications plan, your telephone tree, and your email broadcast system all in one").

From a cursory glance, these three services shares this set of outbound MX servers. While it is very unlikely that someone who uses School Interview and Care Bookings would mark their message as spam, if the messages relayed by MessageMyWay is sent on the same outbound MXes then I could immediately see the problem. A large part of MX operators knows this and separates "marketing" and "operational" messages into separate servers to prevent this exact thing from happening. While I understand this dev's frustration, maybe the messages relayed by MessageMyWay are the ones marked as spam by frustrated parents who are receiving irrelevant school marketing which are sent to same MXes as their important operational messages?

If I were the developer (and still insist on using on-prem email), I'll operate three groups of servers:

Set A: purely for company-initiated messages, never for the customers

Set B: "operational" customer-initiated messages: School Bookings, Care Bookings, and MessageMyWay mails which are marked "critical" by the users (which is apparently additional cost)

Set C: "marketing" customer-initiated messages: "normal" MessageMyWay mails
You mistake our astonishment at GPT-4 as implying some slight against D&D; you attempt to minimize our astonishment by pointing out facts about D&D that most of use would probably agree to.

Yet this does nothing to mitigate our astonishment, which, perforce, is about a machine doing a fscking bang-up impression of a human.

This is like observing the world's first aeroplane and saying, "pfft, its wings aren't even flapping. Can't be a bird with out flapping wings." Yes, yes, we know. That is obviously not the point. Someone just invented flight.

tus666, I suspect this is an emotional self-management strategy on your part.

I'm anxious, too, but, in the words of jwz, you now have two problems, as you are still anxious, and must additionally expend psychological energy on continuous misdirection, whereas I just have the now-standard 2023 anxiety about x-risk. (Oh, and the astonishment. Kudos to the OP for such a brilliant demo of GPT-4)

> if it [unlimited FDIC protection] was effectively already happening, doing it officially would change nothing of substance

Except that it's widely believed that depositor bailouts still only apply to "too big to fail institutions", and if this had been a smaller bank with less politically important depositors, the FDIC might have said too bad.

Furthermore the main point of my original comment is that making it explicit gives the FDIC a reason to assess insurance premiums on all accounts in proportion to their explicitly acknowledged risks (which are non-linear!), rather than continuing to collect smaller premiums under the belief that they only have to cover small accounts, while often ending up covering larger ones.

If those insurance premiums get too onerous for large accounts, then that creates a preemptive incentive to split up accounts and/or look at other non-bank financial custodians (decreasing FDIC's exposure either way).
I Gave ChatGPT an IQ Test. Here’s What I Discovered
This is a nightmare scenario. I can't believe that Trump has been inflated to enough importance that people are willing to casually risk the republic over it, like it's no big deal, just Thursday. I think that the Democratic base has been radicalized with messages of terror so aggressively since 2016 with the fear that Russian-Hitler-Trump is going to start shoving them into camps, that the unimaginable alternative of potential societal collapse seems like a fair risk.

> This is just red meat for Trump's base.

I hope we can still continue to talk about this stuff in horserace terms, but if Trump serves an hour in jail, or even sits in cuffs for a minute, I don't think we're going to be having any elections for a while.
Yeah but if you need to solder in a musical instrument tube amp, you can do it with a hot brick. Casual home tinker types can manage pretty OK on point-to-point stuff.
The US did tried to do that, it was overruled which is why the Clinton administration voted no.

The US government is not allowed to participate or facilitate a criminal prosecution that would deny a US citizen their constitutional rights there has been a Supreme Court case about this already ironically in 1998 which was also one of the triggers for voting no.

On a side note the ICC is terrible, any party can bring up a case, there is no separation of duties, no defined scope and no right of appeal.

The ICC is nothing more than virtue signaling, and should never been established in its current form the world was just too high on its own supply of late 90’s hopium at that point to care.
I’m pretty sure that George Bush Jr. qualifies for way more charges solely based on the fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq. But no, hush payments to porn stars is a lot more important. Welcome to clown world!
Law means anything if its applied equally to all sides. Biased applications of law, does not mean anything.

Nuremberg Trials were political: We humiliated and destroyed the Nazi's for loosing and killing 6 million jews. Nothing wrong with it but nothing lawful about it either.

If Nuremberg Trials were lawful, then we should have put US generals on trial for indiscriminately burning Tokyo, Osaka, Nagasaki killing millions (including small children). I don't see how this is any different from the holocaust except that its close to 700k dead vs 6 million in holocaust. If you think this numerical difference gives complete immunity to US soldiers for targeting civilians, I'm really interested in your moral philosophy.

We should also have put most of Russian Army on trial for massacring most of the German Army and a large chunk of their population (Close to 10 million). Arguably the charges would be much lower since most law allow killing of soldiers, however without soldiers it was still close to a million civilians killed.

Thinking that Nuremberg trials wasn't just a political show that was arguable necessary to maintain peace, but was instead pursuing some ephemeral Universal Justice is being deluded
Is your position that OpenAI should have to suspend their business over this?
Turkey ratifies Finland's NATO bid
Or were just willing to adapt when others didn’t. Blackberry mocked the touchscreen for years until finally coming around and their initial implementation was awful.
I’m not saying we can’t speculate about the charges. Was there anything in my question that indicated I thought people here should be prohibited from speculation?

I’m asking how someone can be absolutely certain in their speculation about those charges.

Is the NYT saying the charges are particularly strong, or are they saying the charges are particularly weak? I haven’t seen that from them, but if they are then I have the same questions.

I’m not holding anyone here to a higher level of scrutiny than the NYT. I merely asked where someone’s confidence came from.
My take: If we want to keep electing criminals as president, then we should be willing to keep charging them with crimes.

This isn't a parking ticket, it's misusing campaign funds to help get oneself elected president.
From Trump v. Vance; Justice Alito in the dissenting opinion:

> ... And the district attorney should set out why he finds it necessary that the records be produced now as opposed to when the President leaves office. At argument, respondent’s counsel told us that his office’s concern is the expiration of the statute of limitations,11 but there are potential solutions to that problem. Even if New York law does not automatically suspend the statute of limitations for prosecuting a President until he leaves office,12 it may be possible to eliminate the problem by waiver.13 And if the prosecutor’s statute-of-limitations concerns relate to parties other than the President, he should be required to spell that out.

> ...

> 12: See N. Y. Crim. Proc. Law Ann. §30.10(4)(a) (West 2010) (statute tolled when defendant outside the jurisdiction); see also People v. Knobel, 94 N. Y. 2d 226, 230, 723 N. E. 2d 550, 552 (1999) (explaining New York rule for tolling the limitations period when a defendant is “continuously outside” the State and concluding that “all periods of a day or more that a nonresident defendant is out-of-State should be totaled and toll the Statute of Limitations”).
Just checked twitter thread.

Lots of reply was just "so what?"

Obviously lots of people just don't care .
There's heaps of newsletters of varying quality. Twitter too, it's just a lot - not sure of a great centralized resource. For GPT powered tools futuretools is great, but that doesn't really cover models.

Huggingface.co is obviously good too.
It's more than that or people wouldn't be charging 90+ year olds who were concentration camp prison guards in their teens and early 20s.
Judging comments from republicans on Twitter "this is a political prosecution, from a biased Soros backed prosecutor"

Selective prosecution to try to sway an election was rejected once by voters after when Bill Clinton was impeached for his affair. So this will not directly boost Democrat's chances, might even make Donald a martyr.
But would make sense if the strategy was to split the vote on the right.

Trump being in legal trouble is the carrot that got DeSantis to run. The problem is if DeSanits defeats Trump in the primary, he can't win in the general precisely because he defeated Trump. Trump has too many supporters that will never switch sides.
> Also of note is that Edwards was acquitted

Perhaps he had some sort of defense. I hear that's how courts work. Along with dealing in findings of fact and law, rather than speculation about whether it's vaguely fair or vaguely unfair.

I'd imagine a billionaire who is also a former President of the United States also has the resources to muster a defense as effective as a non-billionaire former Senator, if there's an effective defense to be made.
Shout out to empressplay and her teammate(s) (sister?) for their work on turtleSpaces, an underrated, solid implementation of 3D logo in golang that can run on the browser. I've used it to teach children, and they've quite liked how easy it is to create 3D games and animations that can be looked at from any angle. Thank you for creating turtleSpaces and for the endless work adding features, fixing bugs, releasing new versions and quickly answering questions! I've no connection to it other than being a grateful user.
Why is speculating about this stuff helpful? This is just you assuming the best of everyone and asking why other people assume the worst. None of us (I'm lying, this is HN and there are billionaire insiders browsing it) have any idea of what's going on behind closed doors during this endless process of trying to disqualify Trump from standing in the next election.
Doing a thing, and doing it well is a really good differentiator! The thing about software is that it scales way easier than a Korean bakery, so the brand itself is the important differentiation. If you can identify a need in the market and throw the right pieces at it, and spend 6-months building it in secret, that 6-month head start building your product and adding features before you release to the public is your moat. Yeah it's not the deepest moat but those features are a moat nonetheless and you can totally build a successful business on top of that. Anybody that starts after you launch is going to be 6 months behind and forever playing catch-up.
Probably nothing compared to actually working on replacing oil.
I would. The engine is clearly hugely upgraded and they've definitely added a lot to the formula, but they've also kept a lot about what people loved of the original games. I'm really looking forward to the final release
I understand this is a revised case, with a new legal theory. Public opinion matters, the case has to be sufficient enough to go after a leading candidate for president.

so lots of questions like this will come up:

What does the state of NY have anything to do with enforcing federal election laws?

How is paying hush money a crime, when it hasn't been before?

How can it be an illegal Campaign contribution, when Trump was financing his own campaign?

7 year old case, how isn't this past statue of limitations?

The State's witness is a self-confessed liar, how can his testimony be sufficient.
The fixtures with separate voltage converters in their own box seem to not flicker - but test before but.
Sir/Madam, the discussion has started. You are still discussing procedural details.

Do you have anything of substance to add?
I understand your point and understanding both sides of the country is very important, but so also is justice. I mean, what if he is guilty? If 48% of the population is ticked off by a guilty conviction that theoretically could be correct, that shouldn't stop us from convicting a criminal.

I'm not saying Trump is a criminal; I am not on the jury and do not have the facts. But I'm saying someone should be convicted if they're guilty even if it has political implications.

Whether or not people are angry at a result, that is their choice to make.

Maybe such code is written by people scarred by JavaScript and trying to avoid ==. But not sure: I saw this in the wild as well — actually, the victim brought the broken function to chat scratching his head — and he was a quite experienced backend guy (and the experience wasn't in nodejs, AFAIK).

A pretty funny kind of bug, actually: it was some relatively simple function, passing the unit tests but doing some nonsense on real data. Thing is, it was comparing some sequential ids and working perfectly as long as there were no more than 256 objects.
While a Grand Jury should theoretically be a high bar to cross, it certainly seems like (in practice) they’re not so much of a challenge.

I’m also generally much more skeptical of state level pre-indictment processes which generally aren’t quite as buttoned down as federal pre-indictment processes (though, that’s a pretty broad generalization).

But, the indictments will come out soon, and the evidence supporting them eventually, so time will certainly tell.

Good timing -- we actually just published a tutorial showing how to build semantic image search (including generating vectors with CLIP) with faiss this morning: https://blog.roboflow.com/clip-semantic-search/
I haven’t gotten access to it yet, I can tell you it’s very powerful because I’ve played around with LangChain a bit which follows the same concept of exposing an LLM (not limited to GPT/OpenAI) to external APIs to allow it to execute code (REPL) and get back a result, running mathematical operations with Wolfram Alpha, accessing up-to-date information through search engines, RSS feeds, etc. In my opinion it’s the obvious evolution for LLMs in order for them to be truly useful. As far as I’m concerned sky will be the limit with ChatGPT plugins. The biggest constraint with LangChain is context size, which will be much easier to deal with when the GPT-4 API is available to anyone.
Is it illegal for the president to lie to Congress and the American people? Other than that, the military adventures were authorized, and Bush was within his Constitutional power to prosecute those military adventures.
A grand jury sat and apparently found charges to be warranted.

It’s funny, Republicans used to often wax in about the sanctity of the rule of law. For some reason, the entrancing powers of Mr. Trump led many to throw that away to stand behind the demagogue.

We should demand better. I live in New York. 2/4 most recent governors left office as part of a deal to avoid prosecution. Prominent legislative leaders were convicted and removed from office.

Regardless of party, there needs to be a standard. Breaking the law and laundering money to buy the silence of a sexual dalliance is a serious crime. Former NY Governor Spitzer was facing federal charges for money transfer violations of his own money to solicit an escort.

Mr Trump seeks to make this a political matter because that distracts from the heart of the matter — his actions. The people who in good faith donated to his campaign wanted to “make America great again”, not pay hush money to porn actresses.
Do you have a substantial counterpoint, or did my tone offend you?
what’s an example of a financial task an LLM can do? does it know to sub out the math portion to an external module like wolfram/an actual calculator?
> especially if he is convicted of paying off a porn star to hush up an extramarital affair while his wife was pregnant.

We already know he did it. This is something that has had at least 100K articles written about it. The indictment isn't for that, it's for a campaign finance violation. Paying prostitutes to sign NDAs isn't a crime.

edit: So I think a conviction will make absolutely no difference. I also think 25% is a good estimate for Trump's absolutely militant, committed base. That's a larger, and more united base than any other group in this country. It's also a group that's been dreaming about this for decades, armed to the teeth and mixed up in religious eschatology about the end of the world.

The reason nobody should be above the law is because it’s important for our sense that the law is impartial.

This is also why it’s important to not use the law as a political tool. Otherwise trust in the law is undermined.
I tried it, it looks good! I had to modify the code to accept 8000 tokens for chatGPT. It would be good if it saved the json payload of the responses as well.

It uses 2 external calls to a javascript CDN for the microphone package and something else. It would probably be best if it was localhost calls only since it handles an API key
Oh man... I am so nostalgic of the past web. Probalby because I became the person I am browsing that web (I was a teenager maturing).

The images of the old Google and the Google Toolbar (in the web.archive link) brought so many memories... Not only of internet, but what was happening with my life around it, the people I had, and more. Those were the happy times, weren't?
To make this claim you have to argue that the indictment is illegitimate. And I suppose there are a lot of people who will make that claim.

Presumably the reason Obama, Bush and Clinton won't be charged with crimes is that there isn't enough evidence that they committed any crimes for a prosecutor to seek an indictment.
> conspiring

I wouldn't use that word. Of course, if you break the law, you should be brought to justice no matter who you are. But come on.. Let's not be overly naive and believe that everyone operates in their own virtuous bubble.
A political prosecution isn't wrong per se. Many, many prosecutions are political at heart (as seen in "tough on crime", or even "reform a corrupt system" DA offices).
Having SPF and DKIM implemented says little about the email coming from a server. But it should allow filtering of spam from domains based on the history of emails received from them, and how users have interacted with them. They should allow the keeping of trust scores at a domain, rather than server or IP, level, and that should be feasible with even relatively few emails involved.

Yet Google and Microsoft don't do that. I can send replies on a personal domain and server to people I've talked with often in the past, and quite often they'll go to spam with Gmail. I can send emails to universities running Office365 from the domain of a prominent university, and sometimes they'll go to spam. I've seen Google and Microsoft email at universities have emails from mts-nature.nature.com, Nature's manuscript tracking system, something no academic would want sent to spam, get sent to spam. SPF and DKIM should allow these things to be rather simply avoidable. But they don't.
Well there are those pesky pictures of Hunter smoking crack while saying he's clean on a federal gun background check. Thats a biggie.
