I was seemingly randomly selected to be a moderator a couple of times on Slashdot. I don't remember how long each term lasted, maybe a couple of weeks? It seemed like a good system to keep anyone from being in the role for long enough to be the target of corruption and to prevent much damage if the selected person was simply a shitty moderator.
Interesting, maybe they feel that they have a strong enough grip on their customers that they can move them away from proprietary hardware to higher-margins proprietary cloud solutions.

My point is that there's no imprimatur for placing copyright material on the Web and then automatically paying the owner of the copyright --- without that, there should be no de facto expectation that a copyrighted document exist on the Web which is what I understood you to be specifying.
Okay, so advocate for repealing laws that age-restrict sales of alcohol, tobacco, etc. I don't think you'll find much support for your position, and until you do the company has a duty to do basic due diligence to not break the law.
Love to see further work on constrained decoding like this and other systems introduced in the comments!

See my work and the paper about it. I've got a lot of y'all beat on this (constrained decoding, not the templating and structuring) by about a year:

Sounds like the last time you used Linux was 20 years ago. Linux been as easy as Windows to install and use for at least 10 years now. My mothers laptop runs Linux Mint and she doesn't know its not Windows even though the colors are all wrong. Why? It's all about the DE - if it looks like windows, walks like windows and quacks like windows, its windows. If she can click on the menu and find the internet then it's a win. Installation was was as easy as windows and everything worked out of the box.

Hell, I installed the Chicago95 XFCE theme on my main system to see how well it emulated the look and feel of Windows 95 and wound up liking it. Why? Because even though it looks dated, the icons were immediately familiar and I felt navigation instantly become easier.

Do not underestimate the power of familiarity. Many of us grew up on DOS/Windows playing games and typing school work up in Word so moving away from those familiar waters is HARD. It's like being an immigrant moving to a new country - you have to put in extra effort to learn to adjust to culture and language. Some can, some cant. YMMV.

The momentum has grown far beyond the point of no return.

As we can see it already happening, it is far more likely for me to be struck by lightning than RISC-V not take over the world.

>If RISC-V does make solid inroads into servers and supercomputers

See recent talk from BSC's Mateo Valero[0]. EU's supercomputer roadmap already is RISC-V centric, and their researchers already have a few generations of finished RISC-V designs.

They cannot. RISC-V Foundation is based in Switzerland.

I have no issue with labelling requirements for large commercial operations. To be honest I thought we already had that for adult content, given the specific TV/radio limits and the "confirm you're 18" popups so popular on the web.

I realize I'm beating a dead analogy here, but I don't think we should impose
those labelling restrictions on independent hobbyist websites, just like we don't require licensing or ingredient labelling for small bake sales.

But even if we did, "label obviously-adult content" would be way more reasonable than "collect personal information to verify the real-life identity of site visitors, and log this sensitive data so it can be accessed (/hacked) later"
I'm flabbergasted that OpenAI does not yet offer an API that reliably returns JSON based on some schema you feed it. It's sort of possible to force it to do this but not really to a production-ready degree.

That's exactly what they're doing with the biggest ad trackers and browser vendors. A lot of Mozilla's "side-projects" are stupid and I also agree they should focus more on Firefox, but this one is pretty in line with their general mission of "we'll fight the big guys because, if we don't, nobody else will".
At least it would give a private citizen recourse if snooping did happen; it would become private by law. It is currently not.

Maybe it all goes south and people are worse off with their privacy than now but I can't even imagine what "worse off" would be. The particular example you gave ("spooks in three letter agencies") currently happens and I can't exactly expect it to stop. How could it be worse?
>What changed is the Queen’s Gambit got popular

I'm not sure if The Queen's Gambit is popular viewing with the 11-14 year olds obsessing over chess in my local middle school.

Twitch? Yes.

They had to stand up four separate chess clubs because one club with 300 members (about half the student body) was too much to handle.

So now there are intense intra-school rivalries like with Hogwarts houses-- never mind inter-mural competition.

The issue is it takes years (decades) to stand up a new bank due to the extensive regulations, processes, etc. that need to happen - and who knows what is going to happen next year - let alone in that timeframe.

The reason why we have such consolidation is that merely existing in the Byzantine world of banking regulations is nearly impossible, and only the largest entities can afford the legal, IT, trading/financial mojo, capital, etc. resources necessary for it to occur.

The big 5 have not only such resources, but enough economic impact if they fail that they can force regulators to stop doing a regulation that would kill them.

Which is ultimately where this is all going. Either nationalization (unlikely) or the big banks writing their own regs (in practice).
> I don’t agree with “They don't control the demand for their power” because Bhutan do have choice over how much they deliver, even if it is only in the long term via their contracts. Bhutan exports 70% of their power, so clearly India wants it.

Without specific knowledge of the agreements between India and Bhutan, this is also hypothetical, and I have to say that it's a big assumption that "India clearly wants it." And even for economics 101 commodities, no supplier controls their demand curve or the optimal quantity to sell.
This is a great list. Just to piggyback on the Pilot Vanishing Point. I originally wasn't interested in getting one because I was put off with the clip being on the "wrong" end of the pen. I wound up purchasing the Mahjohn A1 which is basically a Chinese replica of the Pilot Vanishing Point. (I guess the patent expired after 50 years) It's my new favorite pen. Even with a steel nib it writes very smoothly. Because it's almost identical you can interchange the cartridges and pin nib inserts.

I'm very tempted to buy the actual Pilot Vanishing Point insert and swap it so I have a 18k nib.

Originally released in 1963 it really is a really cool piece of engineering. Highly recommend the Pilot Vanishing Point or the Chinese replica as a daily writer.
> I use boring normal free ChatGPT so maybe it's on me for not using GPT-4 or some other model, but either way, imo it's not been very impressive in the problem spaces I find myself in.

You can use GPT-4 fairly cheap if you sign up for a developer account on platform.openai.com and then use their playground. There you pay per usage; even though I've been using it fairly heavily, my typical monthly usage is still way under $20.

Here's an example that both impressed me and saved me a load of time just yesterday:

Looks great for writing compilers in to me. Doesn't need much in the way of external libs, really well positioned to build parts of MLIR using it.
It follows from the way addition is defined on top of set theory. "a + b" is implemented as "increment a (the set that represents a) b times".

A number is represented in set theory as a set that contains all of the numbers before it. 0, 1, 2 is {}, {{}}, {{} {{}}}...

SO! If you start with a finite "a" and increment it infinite times, you still have infinity; you haven't broken out.

But if you start with Infinity, then adding anything to it gives you {Infinity}, {Infinity {Infinity}}, etc...

Transfinite addition is not commutative!

No it won't. The language is not a super-set of Python, its another language that somewhat resembles Python. You can't drop in some Python code and run it with Mojo and expect it to work.
Naively, I'm surprised it's not common(?) for large or well capitalized employers to offer favourable mortgages in their comp packages. Some banks certainly do it as a perk. It would also create a new asset for the company, where the loan itself could be sold on if needed.

If you have a whole pile of balance sheet cash, buying up some city condos and leasing them back to key staff seems like a pretty good investment. You can use them to secure cheap debt if you need liquidity, or sell the leases, and it's an inflation hedge. It seems so simple and progressive that it must be illegal for some reason.
> Theocracies can be elected.

No, they can't, at least not by a general citizenship against a general pool of candidates. The Vatican's citizens don't get to elect the pope, and among those few who do vote, they can't choose a Bhuddist to be Pope.

Well,I think you have to try really, really hard, not to see that.

It may not be to your taste, but the fact that those flats sell for millions today is a counterexample to your claim that brutalism is nothing more than an assault on the lower class. The fact is that plenty of wealthy people disagree with your aesthetic judgement enough to pay to live in those flats for sums that would easily buy them a house in a leafy, conveniently commutable part of London. It provides an alternative motive for at least some brutalist designs.

It's probably worth examining where this reflexive response comes from. The person you're replying to didn't defend anything. The comment was just that the trend predates the past couple of decades.

I don't think so. The legal and moral principle of free speech is meant to protect different political, scientific, philosophical, etc. views. It's not meant to protect a pedophile's right to sexualize children. What do we lose by censoring those people?

Speaking from personal experience Cigna's line employees will also lie directly to your face on a recorded phone call while you're taking notes because their policies are geared toward following the letter of the law vis a vis retention while ensuring that their arbitration process effectively blocks you from suing them effectively unless you sue them before trying to work with them.

We've been quoted 6 weeks to have a manager listen to a phone call, which is the exact period of time that their call recordings are retained. They're the worst health plan I've ever had the displeasure of using.

They will also from time to time edit your explanation of benefits, which is against the law. Don't trust them and keep all the paper copies of everything they send you.
I do see how these are close to "wrong size". But my interpretation of "bought by mistake" was that I didn't mean to purchase a thing, not that I meant to purchase a thing but it turned out to be the wrong size. It's also not "no longer needed" since that implies it was once needed, which it wasn't.

But I agree that these are some of the more consistent options, out of all of the possibilities.
What studies? The link you shared is a click-baity ("Science stopped believing in X and you should too") article by an individual clinical psychologist referencing (and overstating) the findings of a proposed etiological model and accompanying systematic review which suggested moral incongruity as one underlying cause, perhaps the key cause in these authors opinions[0].

Notably this study predated the addition of compulsive sexual behavior disorder to ICD-11 and was neither validated nor accepted as the correct model (hence excessive use of 'proposed' and 'preliminary'). You may also notice there are seven separate commentaries in response to this study with an eighth by the original authors in which they acknowledge the several limitations of their proposed model[1] and make the following statement:

"Rather than present an argument against CSBD, it is our intention and belief that our model of PPMI adds needed nuance to ensure the accurate use of the CSBD diagnosis."

Well, both regions are deserts occupied in majority by religious zealots of a single ethnic group that believe in polygamy and their economy is primarily driven by natural resource exports (oil for the Middle East; gold, other metals, and agricultural products for Utah). I don't think the comparison is that far off.

Utah is 85% white and 60% Mormon, so...

The only reason that Utah isn't whiter and more Mormon is due to all the immigrant workers, just like the Middle East...

I haven't had this experience with TWSBI. They used to have somewhat more finicky nibs before they switched to using Jowo nibs. I've found the nibs on TWSBI pens to generally be pretty well adjusted Jowo nibs. They aren't the same level of quality control as Japanese brands but are probably better than any European brand.

Plus they have a really good lifetime warranty. If your nib has issues, call them. They will probably send you a replacement.
I get what you're saying: I'm the same for most products, though I do go out of my way to find and use things that are exceptional and in some cases I've actually kinda succeeded in finding that.

The issue here is that this wasn't always the case, or at least wasn't always this bad. While Firefox has always been far from perfect, there was a time when mozillazine consisted mostly of praise and evangelism, and not all of it naive fandom. Also, as a former Opera user, there was also a time when the landscape as a whole contained a higher quality set of options in general. There were numerous browsers then better than the current least worst.

Even recently, Firefox has inspired hope & interest with Servo, Quantum, and even things like the amazing webextension migration effort: controversial and unpopular with many it was nonetheless a greatly successful engineering effort, and has borne fruit in the recent furore over v3 manifests, with Firefox coming out ahead. It's also got cool added APIs that makes sense for the traditional Firefox community but are still standards compliant and interoperable. But all that progress is now already waning with Servo dev cut, progressive popular distinguishing features like MAC being relegated to APIs & UI removed from core.

There's precious little left to distinguish Firefox from Chrome, and nothing new on the horizon.

> Courts don’t make law. That’s a good thing.

So is the ability to invalidate laws that violate the constitution. "You can't do that" isn't making law.

The law preventing judicial review in this case violates the Eighth Amendment. If a state passed a law saying "courts can't intervene in First Amendment cases" it'd clearly not pass muster and get struck down; why do you feel it works here?

> The legislature can fix the law to allow revisiting cases or abolish the death penalty, or both. The governor can pardon this man.

And if they do not, the court should step in to fix the Eighth Amendment violation. The Eighth is definitely law, and it definitely applies to all three branches of Oklahoma government.

> The courts already mishandled the case, why do we expect them to fix it?

Why wouldn't we? They do that all the time; again, it's why we have appeals courts.
Salesforce uses Perforce internally, and it's a _massive_ source of problems for their giant monorepo precisely because there's no lightweight branching, so among the 1500+ developers working on the same codebase, _someone_'s always checking broken crap into the same branch all the time and causing huge headaches for everyone else.

When I left, they were investing a ton of time and developer hours into trying to duct-tape git onto their workflow by having smaller groups of developers share cached copies of their huge Perforce repo, and shunting the inevitable merge conflicts onto someone else and hoping for the best.

I spent a considerable amount of time training folks at my acquisition how to work in this environment, and roughly 70% of that time was "yes, Perforce _is_ weird and confusing and annoying, and yes, it _would_ be better if we had lightweight branches, but instead we're stuck in the version-control stone age of Perforce, so here's the complex process you can try to go through to un-break your own local codebase temporarily until someone else has fixed the broken crap they checked in."
