Hmm, knowing this it's unlikely that his lawyers will let him do that. From what I've been hearing this case is really all about optics + the 2024 election.

Democrats are banking on the fact that he won't be able to mount an effective primary or general campaign if he's under investigation. The democratic opponent will be able to just say "my opponent is under investigation!"

The Republicans are banking on two things: This case is flimsy and will fall apart, then the line will be "look at how the dems are doing political prosecutions". The other thing they are banking on (and polls have indicated this), that if Trump were prosecuted, his base would vote for him overwhelmingly and effective give him the nomination.

For the democrats there's also the "5D Chess" aspect where they want trump to win the nomination because biden already beat him once (this is a dangerous bet for dems though).

From my perspective reading the news I think the Republicans have the 2024 election in the bag. It's going to either be Desantis or Trump, the democrats just don't have the same kind of figure on their side. The democrats are going to be banking on running an effective "negative" campaign like they did in 2020 (no one voted for Biden because they liked the guy, they voted against Trump).

I know this is a pipe dream but I'm hoping that Vivek Ramaswamy gets elected. He seems the lest slimey and most pragmatic among the pack. TBH I need to go live on an island because I'm just so done with the sesspool that is American Politics.

I just want to point out that the last time a similar case was brought was against Cohen for this exact same crime. Cohen was convicted and served time in federal prison. In his trial, Cohen testified that he broke the law at the direction of somebody only referred to in the public disclosures as “Individual 1”. The only plausible person this can be is Donald Trump.

So, regardless of what you think of the case. Leaving out that somebody was already successfully convicted of this exact crime is a significant omission.

We do not know the charges yet of course. The most significant are likely to be campaign finance related with details of falsified records and hush money payments providing supporting evidence of those crimes as much as they are crimes themselves.
I suspect that he realized that there's money to be made being the professional luddite of the hot thing du jour that talk shows and schools can give him money for (as so many other people have done for other things), and he's taking this simple claim of 'AGI will murder us all' to get on as many talk shows as possible and make as much money off of it. I doubt he's speaking in public out of any concern for humanity's survival.

It's such an easy claim to make, because you can just say 'yeah, AGI hasn't murdered us all yet, but it will at some point' and keep kicking out that timeline further and further out until your dead and buried and who cares.
This should be studied a bit. At what point a partial reboot benefits the community/language before.

> so paying her to stay quiet is considered a campaign expense

isn't this a bit of a stretch? lots of things that could "make trump look bad" (TM) might have a political consequence, but does that make them all defacto campaign related? Aren't there plenty other (personal) reasons he would pay her off unrelated to the campaign (he's done/said things unrepentantly that could equally impact his campaign, so it's not clear Trump is even motivated to pay her off for this reason).
This country was founded on the principle of checks and balances. There are no checks on the police. Without adversarial oversight, police will always be above the law. This is a bad place for our country to be.
This applies to constitutional law only. Any state or municipality can legislate more specific requirements for policing if they choose, because that’s how federalism works.

People are already cut and pasting solutions off random webpages and stackoverflow. That they would grab stuff right out of chatgpt does not surprise me in the least. I would ask back 'why would this be any different this time?'
GPT-4 is absolutely incredible but the usage-cap at the moment makes it annoying to work with.

8 questions per hour (25 per 3 hours), is not a lot to work with for paying users - it started being like 10x higher and they've announced it may go down even further.

Nope. There is a constitutional argument that a sitting president should not get indicted. But for one thing that's not settled law in any form, nor is it based in "sovereign" powers, nor is it even an immunity. The constitution and the oath of office requires him/her to faithfully execute the laws. That means he can't be immune, he can't be above the law... And yes, the US constitution is beyond messed up. It just barely works well enough not to risk switching it up.

In Germany for example we have sort of an "updated" version, with lessons learned. But one thing I actually want changed is that members of parliament have actual real immunity. Not in the practical sense - immunity for individual members has historically always been waived by parliament at the slightest whiff of an investigation. But the example of Trump teaches us that it is a fallacy to trust in the decency of politicians and unwritten rules.

Arrests are not made on popular votes. The FBI was the legal authority to investigate and decide on charges, and they clearly said nothing was near a legal threshold to charge.

Hillary complied with them, didn't fight in the courts for years, didn't obstruct. The only places making such nonsense noise was certain media outlets.

The only accurate info the public has is from the FBI statements (and a few later FOIA releases). Rad those to get a correct idea of what is known.

So such polls are at best outrage fodder.

As the OP said, we have laws. Not mob lynchings.
Aren't you ignoring all the planning that was happening? Trump specifically wanted a riot during the certification to disrupt the process. This would (according to fringe legal theories) allow Pence to choose "alternative" state delegates, which would have given Trump the win.

We know that Trump was following this legal strategy. Why is it important whether Jan6 was an insurrection or a riot?
sin(x + pi/2) = cos(x) = cosh(ix)

Therefore, sin (pi/2 + i arcosh(2)) = cosh(-arcosh(2)) = 2

where arcosh(y) is the familiar inverse of the hyperbolic cosine, i.e. log(y + sqrt(y^2 - 1)), so we find sin(pi/2 + i log(2 + sqrt(3))) = 2.

This article reminds me of what I encountered.

In my case, instead of a Ruby program, I asked for an outliner application similar to Workflowy with clickable bullets to be implemented in CodeMirror v6. It understands what "outliner" means and can put "clickable bullets" in the right context. However, while it gives "plausible" answers, they are all wrong. Wrong API version (often the examples use the pre-v5 version of CodeMirror). Often confuses CodeMirror with Prosemirror. Imports non-existent CodeMirror packages that are clearly imaginary, and has considerable difficulty explaining them when asked. It completely doesn't understand the concept of Decoration objects. And many other problems associated with delivering uninterpretable code.

I had better luck with Cody, who is more familiar with CodeMirror's latest API.
I don't think any other IDE has "better" functionality. A Jetbrains IDE packs a ton of features (I have tried several alternatives but none come close). The only language where VSCode even seriously competes is Typescript (Rider is much better at C#). I used them originally on 4GB laptop and now on 16GB macbook, and I never found it to be too slow. (the indexing part can be slow, but they mitigated it somewhat by allowing you to download pre built indexes).

I have never spent 5 minutes on any index operation in almost any Jetbrains IDE. You might want to check your VMOptions and see if there is anything in there causing it to be extra slow.

That's simply not true. Nobody would have gotten where GPT is today without transformers. That's not a trivial bit of insight anybody could have had. Stopping research funding and publications will prevent rapid evolution.

GitHub's status as a Microsoft-owned subsidiary is showing. What a dig to manage to slip in—that one of your competitors, ostensibly a vanguard for openness and interoperability (and known esp. for favoring tech solutions that have a Web-y flavor in particular), hasn't taught its competing product to interoperate with JSON.
Those sound like very tenuous grounds. Most peoples' lawyers bill them for ancillary expenses, from printing/copying to first-class flights and other purchases in the line of work. It's not inconceivable that hush money would be in that category. Anything on a legal bill tends to go on most peoples' books as a "legal expense." In New York, there's no requirement to give clients itemized legal bills, although the client can request them. High-end lawyers tend to avoid itemizing their bills unless you ask (implying some sort of fee dispute).

At the same time, is this really the kind of thing you want a prosecutor to go after a former president and likely future presidential candidate from the opposing party for?

I asked chatgpt some sex questions some power there sure like the answers to:

"It is important to protect oneself during sexual activities to prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies. Using condoms or other forms of contraception can greatly reduce the risk of transmission and unplanned pregnancy.

Additionally, it is important to communicate openly and honestly with sexual partners about sexual health and STI status, and to get tested regularly for STIs, especially if one is sexually active with multiple partners.

Ultimately, the decision to protect oneself during sexual activities is a personal one that depends on individual circumstances and preferences. However, it is generally recommended that individuals take steps to protect themselves and their sexual partners from potential health risks."

Im sure they'd especially like the "multiple partners" part of its answer.
Bought one of these during the recent sale. It is a marvel. I had been thinking of waiting for an eventual v2, but it's honestly so cool today that it's not worth waiting. For me the main "wow" moments:

1. The first party, deck verified steam experience is super smooth, feeling just like a game console. It's like a switch with a deeper library and better controls. I love the community contributed control layouts as well.

2. The hardware itself is fantastic. The controls are great for both gaming and light desktop computing. Great feel in the hands, pleasant screen for gaming, and really just a much more comfortable experience than sitting at a desk or playing on the TV. It feels like curling up with a good book.

3. Linux with great windows compatibility layer out of the box. You pop it over into desktop mode and you have a Linux machine with ability to run most of the software out there for windows. You plug in a usb-c hub and you have a full desktop, keyboard mouse experience. And if you really have the need, you can dual boot into windows.

4. An insanely helpful community. Tons of knowledge out there for getting it to do anything you can dream of. So many people hacking on their favorite game to improve performance or play experience. Many folks writing auto-config scripts for anything from turning it into a retro gaming powerhouse to tweaking the swap file performance characteristics.

The financial crisis in 2008 was caused by investors who made risky bets based on models they built telling them that mortgage-backed securities were a safe investment. Our understanding of the world is guided by social science that seems to involve an incredible amount of p-hacking using statistics packages that make it easy to crunch through big datasets looking for something publication-worthy. It seems like tech already gives people plenty of tools to make poor decisions that hurt everybody.
I noticed Nim allows using the Go GC as an option. How does this work? Does it compile into Go as a target language? Or can it link with Go's (ever changing) ABI? Or is the Go GC available as a standalone C lib? I'm just curious how this works...anybody know?

EDIT: I think I found it - looks like it actually isn't new: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/1278. Sounds like the answer is: Links via GCCGO to their channel implementation. Compatible GC was written in Nim to go with it.
HLS was a significant improvement over other options for live (rtmp) and adaptive bitrate solutions.

I mean it could be delivered via HTTP and was was built off of open standards for the manifest files. (HLS just breaks down mp4 files into smaller chunks and lists them in a text manifest file based on the mp3 playlist spec) *

It significantly moved the needle forward on how video was delivered and did so in a standards based way until DASH came along.

Not sure why the hate here for their “proprietary standard” it wasn't proprietary - just no one was using it and it eventually became a defacto standard because it “just works”.

* I know I’m simplifying this.

No worries at all, I don't take that personally, but may I ask what facts you think I am ignoring?

The facts are as follows:

1. GDPR asserts extraterritorial jurisdiction. This is clearly documented and is within the text of the act itself.

2. This is unprecedented. There is no other law from any (lets say first world) country that asserts extraterritorial jurisdiction to anywhere even close to the GDPR.

I've provided links for both of these claims.

jacquesm is arguing against both of those facts, claiming they are not in fact true, and linking to US laws trying to state that are the same thing, when they are not even close.

> It's enforcing rules on data sent to/from people in the EU and the servers (not just servers ofc), i.e. on companies offering their services to people in the EU.

Quoting from an earlier link I posted:

"Let’s say for example that you are a Chinese web shop with a website that is available in German, French and English as well. You also process multiple orders a day from individuals within the EU and ship your products to them. This will make you fall in the scope of the GDPR, even though you have no establishment in the EU and are not performing any data processing activities within the EU."

The point is that that Chinese web shop can provide services to EU citizens, and the EU has no way of enforcing any aspect of the GDPR on that Chinese webs hop, and I'm pretty sure China would be the first to tell you the GDPR does not apply within its borders.

> If the companies don't wish to follow the laws of a specific country (or in this case, all EU countries), they're welcome to not provide services to those users.

In this case, the company could be following the laws in their home country, and be in violation of the GDPR just because an EU citizen bought something from them.

In this case, the EU is responsible for blocking the website, rather than the website needing to be in compliance with the GDPR.
Although I broadly agree with this, I think you're missing the point that statistical characteristics of particular demographics can be very important.

For example, let's say that in fact roughly 30% of women are support a particular candidate, and that this number will not vary by much more than 5% in either direction. Given that women are more or less 50% of the population, that means that this candidate will need to make up a fairly significant vote deficit by over-appealing to some male demographic.

So yes, not all women or Latinos or African-Americans vote the same way, but if, statistically, enough of them do, then you can make some broad observations about candidate strategy that are likely consequential (and true).

The whole point is that no one knows how to engineer these principles into a model, and no one has a good plan for doing so either.
We know how they work, that is true. We don't know why they work, because if we could, then we could extrapolate what happens when you throw more compute at them, and no one would have been surprised about the capabilities of GPT-N+1. Also no one would have been caught with their pants down by seeing people jailbreak their models.

To illustrate it in a different way: on a mechanistic level, we know how animal brains work, as well. Ganglions, calcium channels, the stuff. That doesn't help understand high level phenomena like cognition, which is the part that matters.

If you're right about the LLMs revealing their inner working, that would be indeed a reason to chill out. But I have my doubts, given that LLMs are good at hallucinating. Could you justify why the human readability is actually true, and support that with examples?
A taxiway that goes under a runway would require large, long inclines and declines. An A320 is ~12m tall, and with a 5% incline/decline (which is very large) you'd require 480m of horizontal distance in incline/decline, which sounds like a lot. And some airplanes are two times as tall as the A320, and with some margins added, it's probably safe to guess that an underground passing would require airplanes to taxi hundreds of additional meters to pass through the tunnel.

Airplanes burn a lot of fuel when taxiing, and taxi very slowly. So it's likely an expense, time and space constraint.
This is anecdotal, but most New Yorkers I know care, there's just not much they can do. The NYPD is effectively a military force and they have de facto veto power over the city government.
