Totally agree that guidelines/guidance is ideal rather than zooming all the way to the enforcement side of the spectrum. I think i must have been thinking of "community policing" in that there is positive guidance and engagement well before actual enforcement is conducted...and your comment reminded me of this...so fully agree with you there. :-)

I've heard others state something similar in this context for AI-authored content (or not AI-authoered content as whatever the case might be), and I'm entirely in favor of this. Its conceptually similar - at least in my mind - to "organic" or "fair trade" (or similar) that exists for products, which i think is necessary and valuable to society.

Yup, explicit TVS or just diodes doing clamping or whatever. There's a fair bit of protection circuitry around. Often there's series resistors which help a lot, too.

Not to mention that all modern CMOS chips have protection structures on the input (though not really as good as you'd like for something that is randomly handled by charged up humans).
Losing as much as a couple percent of annual sales to prevent card-stuffers from getting through—which can knock you off your payment processor completely—is a pretty easy call for a lot of businesses.

Most are dramatically thinner and more comfortable now (slight stretch, more tolerant of more temperatures, significantly softer and more flexible, etc).

They've become daily normal-comfort normal-fashion wear rather than work wear. Of course they aren't as durable on average - it's a completely different material at this point, sold for a different purpose.

Durable stuff still exists, it's just harder to find because it shares the same name.
>Food loss occurs for many reasons, with some types of loss—such as spoilage—occurring at every stage of the production and supply chain. Between the farm gate and retail stages, food loss can arise from problems during drying, milling, transporting, or processing that expose food to damage by insects, rodents, birds, molds, and bacteria. At the retail level, equipment malfunction (such as faulty cold storage), over-ordering, and culling of blemished produce can result in food loss. Consumers also contribute to food loss when they buy or cook more than they need and choose to throw out the extras (See Buzby et al (2014)).

This mentions a lot of different causes of food waste, and appearance ranks as a small factor. It certainly doesn't support your assertion that the appearance of produce is a primary cause of food waste.

Legislation to prevent AI from launching a nuclear weapon
Out of curiosity, are you sending from a node you own and manage, or do you have your email hosted via a third-party (either with your branding skin on it or with the third-party's branding skin, i.e. are you "me@corp.com" or "me-corp@gmail.com")?

So my employer, for instance, "has our own email" but it's just Gmail and we never have problems sending or receiving because we're piggybacking on Gmail's "This is a corporate account with several years of good behavior under its belt" trust signal.
Do you see the contradiction here ?

SPAM in general is killing email.

If you were out on a walk and 9 out of 10 people where trying to mug you, you'd very quickly adjust your behavior to only walk in very safe places and let as few people as possible access that area.

There is a significant cost in spam protection by tracking reputation and content for the unending ocean of bullshit flooding the SMTP lines. Most providers want to cut communication with the spam source as quickly as possible to reduce costs.
Thanks. Fortunately I allowed for some uncertainty there.
I don't know if anyone has done the deep analysis to determine if fraud is more frequent and severe and agree this seems like a doubtful statement, but I suspect it's likely that corporate collapses have in fact become more common and more frequent -- but due simply to the fact that the global total number of corporations has increased exponentially since the mid 20th century.
It does sound like that, honestly, just needs more investment and maybe engineering into mode distributed storage for the whole renewable stuff.

I'm guessing sweet spot would be something like "big, economically efficient battery per street of houses + solar on every house", but as it would be shared it needs investment and power company have very little incentive for it
>> Sentencing is a separate system from policing.

Again, not in reality. Absent unlimited resources, street-level police determine which crimes are "policed" based on the severity of associated punishments. Change the punishment for drug dealing from a prison sentence to a minor fine and police will all but stop hunting drug dealers. Start sentencing jaywalkers to prison time and you will see cops at every pedestrian crossing. Sentencing is the guide by which police determine which laws the public most wants to see enforced.
Accountability is one thing; as actionfromafar notes below, a legal person may not be accountable in all cases. Transparency is another thing. The third thing relates to ethics; here the guidance is still in the making, but many have indeed stated that a journalist shouldn't put his or her name to a story generated by AI.

People get attached to things, including urban living.

I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish with rewriting it from the perspective of travel. That is pretty much how I feel about travel and transport infrastructure too.

Some cultures attach a lot of importance on travel, associating it with freedom, or mobility (both in the literal sense, and as a metaphor for class mobility). Don’t get me wrong, I love to travel, to explore, to hike the wildernesses or enjoy different urban locale and take full advantage of the transport infrastructure. That doesn’t mean it isn’t an illusion.
I’ve been curious for a while - would it make sense for some USB drivers to be adapted / recompiled to WASM and used via web pages? (Chrome can allow JS code to access USB devices)

Like in this case, would it have made sense to recreate the driver in this way so that other owners of the same camera could have immediately tried it out in their browsers regardless of their operating system?

How OS-specific are most USB devices?

Yes, it seems Canada takes a blanket ban approach:

> Canadian law bans any visual representation of someone depicted as being under the age of 18 engaged in explicit sexual activity.

So you could draw an imaginary person in crayon on construction paper as a child and it'd be illegal.

(I was going to write 'of yourself' but it turns out that would actually be permitted: '"What about sexting?" In Canada the law creates a “private use” exception to child pornography. This means that a person can possess sexually explicit depictions of him or herself that may otherwise qualify as child pornography. A person is also permitted to distribute the depictions to any person who is in the depictions as long as the depictions were made with the consent of everyone shown in them and the activity depicted is legal and does not show exploitation.' https://lakinafolabilaw.com/possession-of-child-pornography-... This immediately starts making me think about deepfake and loopholes - could you license deepfake-CP permission from an adult to make it for your own personal use, because that would then have be 'made with the consent of everyone shown in them'? Or, since you can distribute it yourself, does that mean you can sell deepfake-CP of yourself to anyone as long as you use deepfakes to put them into the generated image as well? What a strange twist in the porn industry that would be! I doubt people writing these sexting exceptions gave this any thought...)

Because that is not how American immigration has traditionally worked. Many of us are from families that did not have the means to put someone through graduate school, they arrived as Irish orphans or with $8 in their pockets. The graduate student doesn't need the citizenship, the person with $8 in their pocket does. Imagine a world where the graduate student who is already guaranteed to be pretty successful AND the immigrant who came with $8 dollars have good lives. That's what America is about to me. That is why we limit immigration number by country (so more people have an opportunity) and promote familial immigration, not immigration of elites. If you want that system there are plenty of countries with golden visas, one right next door to the USA.

GPT-4 exceeded average adult human theory of mind when the simple prompt "Let's think step by step:" was added. It got every question right when the prompt included a couple of example puzzles.

Recognizing new rights shouldn't require a Constitutional amendment. It is possible under law, which has a vastly lower bar. If we can't pass it by law, we surely can't surpass the even higher bar Constitutional amendment.

The law is already a high bar. The process is designed to favor inaction. A dedicated minority can prevent law from passage -- and can do so solely for political reasons, regardless of their personal feelings or those of their constituents. To pass a law requires control of the House and the Senate (by a filibuster-proof margin) and the Presidency, at the same time. And an amendment is even higher than that.

The Supreme Court should be able to shortcut that by recognizing that the 9th Amendment explicitly forbids a reading of "you don't have this right if James Madison didn't give it to you". When they make that claim, the entire process is cast in doubt.

I would vastly rather see the Congress pass these rights. But when the Congress has cemented a Supreme Court dedicated to ensuring that you gain no rights, and is further willing to use any minority advantage to guarantee that it can't be done by law, then the Constitution really is a suicide pact.

You're wrong about the Presidency.

The Constitution explicitly states that he or she must be a natural-born citizen of the United States; naturalization won't do. State election boards generally take the word of the political parties, but as has been shown in recent years eligibility can be challenged in court -- most often by racist shitheels upset about the skin tone of the candidate in question.

A qualifying birth certificate is usually the path taken here.

So yeah, you don't have to show it unless challenged, but if you can't show it you likely WILL be challenged, and that could be a problem.

The article seems to indicate that he was putting (real) childrens’ faces on sexual imagery that didn’t involve them. From context it would seem to indicate that the underlying imagery wasn’t actual CSAM, otherwise it wouldn’t have been called “synthetic” I think. But the article is never very specific on this point.

It’s not clear what would have happened if the faces were the output of a generative AI model, and didn’t actually involve real children. That seems like it's coming soon. Presumably the law is going to treat all of that the same as actual CSAM, but people will need to think hard about the reasoning for it. All of the quotes in this article stress the possibility of harm and risk to (real) minors whose faces were duplicated. Which seems like a very reasonable set of concerns!
"It goes without saying that our messages are not spam" haha no. I don't know what it is with these people who think their god gave them the inalienable right to send messages without rate limits just because they are signed with DKIM. The most likely explanation for why that site "School Interviews" got rate-limited is people marked their junk as spam and their sending IPs got bumped down into the bozo quota. And the most likely reason for people to have marked them as spam is they failed to do verified double-opt-in and just started spamming away at whatever address their customers mistakenly typed.
There's a problem that's just as bad, it's the reverse POV of this article.

Basically, you can't block the big providers - Gmail, Microsoft, AWS SES, Mailchimp, Mailgun and friends - because everyone and their dog is using them. But their reaction to abuse reports is spotty at best... you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

The root cause obviously is spammers and scammers, but governments don't care about putting a final stop to bad actors.
