No, making the law does not make you legitimate, having authority accepted by your military and tolerated by your people is enough.

Look at Taiwan for example? Almost every country does not acknowledge them as a country separate from China yet they are because their people and military accept their authority over their island and they have control over the island.

Look at north korea, the Kim family's rule is very much legitimate even though we can't say most of the people enjoy their rule, however they tolerate it and the military accepts them as rightful rulers. You can't justifiably prosecute them under NK law for stealing from their starving people for example because everything they do is by their legitimate and basically absolute authority.

If a ruler is not legitimate it is either the military or the people that have to engage in active revolt at a meaningful scale to bring about doubt regarding the ruler's legitimacy.

In the US civil war for example, it is hard to say Abraham Lincoln was the legitimate ruler of the south. At least not until he won the war.

Rules that can't be enforced have no meaning. Rules are enforced by force which ultimately means military but at the same time rules also have no meaning if a very largr portion if the people being ruled reject the rules. Therefore under the rule of law, legitimacy of a ruler is established simply by their ability to make and enforce rules. Not their popularity or niceness.

Anyone who followed the law cannot be punished and anyone who broke the law is subject to punishment. You can change laws and punish people who break them but the rule of law loses all meaning if anyone can be punished for an action that was lawful at the time.
I live in rural Japan (Aomori, Northern Honshu) and I see these cars daily. If they can survive the awful roads and weather here, I'm pretty sure that they can survive anywhere.
Obama era emissions regs make it impossible for (new) small trucks to be economically feasible. The way the regulations work disproportionately punish small vehicles.

Yeah, my state's Department of Transportation runs a GBAS/CORS network and anyone can have access to it just by asking.

Trouble is, that (and Galileo HAS) assumes you have internet access. Maybe you're so far out in the middle of nowhere (This is Australia we're talking about in TFA) that the internet isn't available, or reliable.

So maybe you think satellite-based corrections are the way to go, but I concur, a local RTK reference would also work. (But 99.9% of the time, the satellite service is gonna be less hassle.)
A few more HURDles overcome...
Yet the UK (and most other developed countries) have far fewer fatalities per vehicle or kilometre driven, as well as cars that output less pollution per kilometre.

Obviously there are many confounding factors, but the point is if the USA really cared, it'd federally mandate more effective measures like safety inspections and emissions testing. The import restrictions are protectionism.
How strong of an incentive do we need to ban an app? Should we ban apps made in Brazil, because the BRICS nations are considering making an alternative to the US Dollar? That's pretty adversarial. Or maybe apps made in France or Japan, because some of their companies compete with ours (especially in telecom)? And what about people who get in the way of progress, such as anti-war protesters? Not a slippery slope argument, I just want people to think about where they draw the line. There are no wrong answers,.. just... tradeoffs.
Man, I wish I could get a car like that in the USA.. I guess I'd probably want something with better crash safety, though, considering how many complete morons in the Bay Area are constantly speeding, weaving aggressively through traffic, running/pushing red lights, etc

Yes, we were surprised too. 25! Wait, '25'? We don't have 25 fonts... Part of that is due to a bug we hadn't noticed in the CSS versioning code & have fixed.

The actual number is more like 16 fonts (~500kb total), excluding the decorative dropcaps which are only 4kb each. This is one of the largest & most complex pages on gwern.net (even after splitting out much of it to gwern.net/gpt-3-nonfiction ), so, it pulls down pretty much every font. (Even the backup fonts, because of the emoji.)

As for why we use those fonts, well, it's not like we didn't consider using just system fonts, but you run into problems as soon as you have any ambitions: https://gwern.net/design#webfonts

Well the main problem is that population growth means that the traditional farming productivity - while sustainable for millenia - just isn't enough to feed the whole population of Indonesia and Bali in particular. Bali went from 1.5 million in 1945 (independence) to 2.9 million in 1989. The traditional approach is opening up new land but of course you can see how this is unsustainable.

So unfortunately the switch from biannual harvests to triannual harvests using factory-borne fertilizers and deep water usage was necessary.

(I was taught this in a fertilizer factory visit near Surabaya a few years back, so my information might be highly biased. But demographics data is there and ... It is what it is.)
Specializing in a role that doesn't require SQL very often, most likely.

Or like in my CEOs case, they know SQL and have a strong technical background, but would rather click around in a UI because they've become proficient in that UI over years of using a certain set of workflows.
There are some things that end up "accidentally" demanding exact equality of floats. Comparing the reference output of a program that writes floating-point numbers comes to mind. A multiplayer game that relies on each client computing gamestate locally can get desyncs to happen if two clients compute floats that differ even by that last bit.

Another, admittedly niche, scenario is that numerics code can use lower-precision types to emulate higher-precision types (e.g., represent a number with a pair of doubles).
I'm surprised as well. I thought the problem with cancer is that the immune system doesn't react/detect it and therefore might not provide a discernible signal.
Except that Stack Overflow’s CEO, in this very article, says that it’s a violation of the Creative Commons license to train an LLM on their answers. So what he’s actually proposing is very unclear.

> When AI companies sell their models to customers, they “are unable to attribute each and every one of the community members whose questions and answers were used to train the model, thereby breaching the Creative Commons license,” Chandrasekar says.
The benchmark should not average the values but take the lowest.

I would not write a better explanation than Daniel Lemire on his blog:

It is even more complicated than that! Some immune cells, like T cells, will actually edit their own DNA through a process named V(D)J recombination. So the immune system is actually editing some of its own DNA!

has anyone run Doom on it yet?
Would be great if it somehow kept track of a score. As is it's amazing to look at and the plot is vaguely interesting, but it doesn't feel like an actual game.

Nope. If you give a lot of notice before quitting "permanent employment" they will walk you out immediately.

As I understand it, RTK nulls that out. If your RTK base is fixed to the landmass that's moving, your rover positions will move right along with it. So a farmer with an RTK base stuck atop their silo or whatever should be fine.

Naw, it's not the exception.

Got my license in California, instructor skipped the freeway part of the drive test which is mandatory.

Moved to Oregon, new licensees require both a written and a drive test but the DMV skipped them both because I already had an out-of-state (California) license.

Driver licenses are literally stupid easy to get here in the US.

I haven't used Evidence so can't speak to its capabilities. It's been a while since I've used Dash and Streamlit so I can't recall exactly what caused me to throw it aside but I do remember that formatting was hell and to even get close to what I wanted I had to use components from plotly express, dash, streamlit, essentially every Python data viz library. It was just too much of a hassle.

Uh, yeah, about that...these commercial space flight companies are less than awesome about correct flight plans. Virgin Galactic, for example, wildly blew their flight plan on the flight with His Sirness aboard...and suffered zero repercussions for it, I might add.
No. If they blocked me sharing passwords I’d probably just make an account for the family member and pay for that and miss out on the 10-15 hours of value I get out of Netflix every year.
One of my big issues with these computational artifacts is that they are not modular -- in the sense that, if I wanted a studious snake without claws -- what things do I need to do to get it to produce a version of the snake, but "fixed" in the way which I describe.

E.g. here, when I say modular -- I mean that a "fix" can't be implemented in a local, small way. I need to try again with a new prompt, etc -- and it's not clear to me how to "fix" my prompt to get the right thing.

one way to support this sort of modularity might be with a GPT-4 / langagent integration which would query Midjourney until it gets a picture which satisfies my criteria, changing the prompt, etc.

The problem is that, if the integration or langagent has an issue -- how do I modularly fix those systems? And so on.

This sort of question "how do I figure out how to fix this prompt-based thing" makes me worry about a sort of "turtles all the way down" problem. Okay, so maybe I don't need to understand exactly how to use these systems to get what I want -- just let another LLM do that ... but what if that LLM has an issue ... and what if the LLM which is prompting that LLM has an issue ...

It concerns me. I'm not sure how well founded my concerns really are.
I understand the business motivation, especially because this is likely existential for SO, but it feels perverse to take information that people gave to help others and try to paywall it.

I wish there were more books in this mold (reimplementing interesting or foundational systems in ways intended for humans to read and understand). I feel the like systems that would admit this sort of thing are important systems. I’d love to see this done with (for example) a Smalltalk image and interpreter, or a simplified network stack.
Any chance of making Evidence available as a Remark plugin? Would love to be able to use it as a tool for interactive documentation
But the reason you lose rear-wheel traction on a rwd car is usually because of the motor. You are less likely to lose traction on the back tires with a FWD car.

The more things you overload (acceleration, brakes and steering) the harder it is for a tire to do the right thing.

My experience is heavily biased towards people at risk for long covid. I live in TX surrounded by people who weren't too serious about covid. I have friends that got covid 3-4 times. I know people with actual measurable lung damage that have long term consequences in that sense, but I know _zero_ people with anything resembling "long covid". No one I know knows anyone who has long covid. I believe it exists because a wide range of other viruses have occasional mysterious long term effects, but what I don't believe is that it's possible for it to be anywhere close to as common as it's purported to be(figures like 10-30% of those infected were thrown around by news outlets back when I was paying attention). My personal bet is that the majority of peoples' symptoms are psychogenic with a small minority experiencing physiological effects worth studying.
I really need to try Claude, but, well, so much to keep up with these days... FWIW, I've found that GPT-4 in the Playground is pretty good at creative text compared to ChatGPT-3, with a bit of prompting. It's still sometimes inflexible, but mostly works. (GPT-4 inherits a lot of the weaknesses of GPT-3 for creative text, unfortunately; you can fool yourself into thinking that it's genuinely learned to rhyme or what phonetics are, but underneath, it's still the same BPE-flaws.)

I am still working on some projects there - I'm most excited about an experiment into translating John Milton's _Paradise Lost_ into contemporary alliterative English verse, using an inner-monologue approach to revise it line by line repeatedly: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/12pqqg6/di... Sample of intro 'translation': https://pastebin.com/WmHKD9RP

GPT-4 suggested titling it _Perished Paradise_, and I rather like it. :)
I want to see better supply chain security but the main thing I see here is that PyPI is partnering solely with Microsoft on this and it seems like a huge bummer. As another comment mentioned, PyPI is lacking in curation and this doesn't address it.
In a similar vein, I have a Canadian market '02 Highlander that was imported by a dealership to shuffle stock around back when it was new. It helps that AFAIK there aren't any physical differences between CDM and USDM Highlanders.

What’s stupid is Facebook is getting very good at blocking this type of content through a mix of classifier systems, user and moderator intervention. TikTok has gotten a pass for it so far.

Probably because nobody is missing the point. They understand that huge vehicles are largely bought as a status symbol and they're mocking those people for buying an unnecessarily enormous hunk of metal.
That distinction is irrelevant because we are talking about the rule of law and administration if justice.

If you invade a country and steal it's riches then it is that country's burden to exact justice against you by means of war or diplomacy. That is not the topic here.

Much if britain got rich off of slavery and conquest yet it is the royal's riches that is being discussed here and the reason is not because it was unlawfully gained. It was abdolutley lawfully gained under the laws of that time.

How you obtained wealth irrelevant so long as it was lawful. You can argue that invading countries was illegal at the time and the royal's broke the law and if that is correct I am with you on that. If is not then you are an even worse if a theif than they ever were because you are not only masquerading as an agent of justice when you are stealing just like they did but you are acting in hypocrisy as if you were better than them.

And even if you were how silly if you to take wealth gained by conquest and give it to your people when it should go to all the countries from which it was stolen.

I read Code by Charles Petzold earlier this year and I feel like I had a similar realization. A simple switch can lead to such complex systems.
One example I can think of: A CS major is likely to have at least been exposed to the idea of Big-O estimating algorithmic complexity.

A non-CS grad is much less likely to have. They may not even have a concept that estimating algorithmic complexity is even possible. They may have zero understanding why a massively nested loop structure is slow.
They’re doing all the roles that allow developers like us to have a job.
It won’t be, because “exchanging” API tokens isn’t something you’d normally do. It’s only done in the context of trusted publishing; in any other context you would continue to use the ordinary API tokens that this feature is built on top of.
Small, fat, knobby tires are actually better for sandy, muddy, uneven surfaces. They apply torque easier, have less unsprung weight, move easier through uneven terrain. Small thin tires work ok too, but tread is more important.
Any machine which is Turing complete is Tetris-complete and all the other -complete you list. At the end, all of it is just binary values somewhere and trapping instructions which you can perfectly run on anything Turing-complete.
> the consensus seems to be that publishers weren't going to do anything about CDL until the IA started freely distributing digital copies in the early stages of the Covid pandemic

I've seen that argument here many times, but I don't think it's true. It may have accelerated the lawsuit, but it was inevitable. IA was likely just going to buy more and more copies of books and lend them out digitally.

Live near DC. Color me curious.

Does GPT-4 look like 'most products'?

You are talking about a revolutionary product that literally dominates mindshare from consumers to students to CEOs to governments. Its a pure monopoly that has insanely wide utility and instantly obvious value proposition.
See other replies: I think it’s inaccurate to call this a partnership or endorsement. GitHub being the initially supported publishing platform is primarily a matter of expedience and greatest impact.

I wonder if low-hanging fruit is just "immune system health". train on healthy vs unhealthy immune systems and give a status bar.

It wasn't clear from the article, but I think this is fallout from something Lindell called "Cyber Symposium" in 2021. Lindell promised PCAPs to people, which as we know, are files with ethernet or WiFi frames in them, in a conventional format. Conservative-leaning infosec expert Robert "rsnake" Graham was in attendance and live tweeted it. Graham is something of a curmudgeon, and apparently independently wealthy, so he would almost certainly have been happy to find PCAP-formatted files that showed any contact with voting machines.

Graham did not find any such thing, and was disappointed that the Cyber Symposium was such a mess, and that he didn't get any PCAPs. So the winner of the challenge isn't alone in saying that the files provided were untainted by packet captures and had nothing to do with the 2020 election.

Toyota can't import trucks with such a small footprint. That would screw up their fuel efficiency metric. That could lead to fines from the US government. That is the primary issue here that prevents the sale of small trucks in the US.

With the current regulations, it makes the most sense to sell trucks with the longest wheelbase and largest width.
