I wonder if we could wield regulation to discourage products that phone home without also providing the ability to:

- install a cert so we can MITM the traffic and see what they're phoning home about

- turn off the phoning home without breaking local functionality

- configure a different address for cloud I/O, such that I can run the "cloud" part on my own infra if I want those features
In my experience, "Artificial Intelligence" is simply a job humans do right now, that computers can do with current, or slightly future, technology. If computers do it (and have been doing it) for a while, its given a new name.

Ex: "Reading text" used to be an AI job. today its called optical character recognition, or OCR.

In WW2, you'd need a pilot to kamikaze an airplane into a ship, or whatever other target, with reasonable accuracy. Today, we have autonomous flying machines that do the same thing. But we've been doing it for decades so its not AI anymore.

Honestly, if you could load an M777 155mm gun with the same reliability and cheapness as a grunt soldier, you'd probably have a bigger effect on modern warfare than hypothetical $billion AIs running off of 5000 GPUs.

We _do_ have autoloaders for M109 Paladins and such. But getting the cost down and reliability up is a big deal.
It's funded by its members. So they basically pay to meet and promote their business to invited leaders and politicians. I guess you can make an argument that the more exclusive and mythical you can make it, the more likely are businesses to pay to participate.
Multiple claims, all related to 'fraud'. Claims that OpenAI is committing fraud because they are a for-profit disguised as a non-profit, for example.
It is. The springs which hold the cable in are in the plug, whereas they are in the socket for lighting. These springs are effectively consumable components.

I think this is a conversation worth having, but personally I haven't made any decisions. There are a few interesting names on there though, from VOX, The New York Review of Books, and In Our Times. I think the community just needs to be aware that these types of pushback are happening, esp in the light of the Writer's Guild strike. The timing has to be intentional.

I love generative AI for ideation, esp around product design, but I don't think (at this point) I'd use any of what it generates as my final work anyway. But that's just me.

Without irony, here's ChatGPT's summary:

This legal complaint alleges that defendants operating a non-profit entity for the benefit of humanity have committed massive fraud on donors, beneficiaries, and the public. The complaint raises concerns about OpenAI's operation, including its dual structure as a non-profit and a for-profit entity, potential insider dealings, and the exclusion of the general public from its benefits. It claims that OpenAI has used deceptive advertising, unfair competition, and fraud to develop its valuable resource for personal gain.

The complaint highlights OpenAI's mission of benefiting humanity and points out that a narrow group of stakeholders have received commercially invaluable early access to its technology. It also argues that OpenAI's for-profit operations might infringe on copyright and fair use laws, as the technology is built on large datasets, much of which is copyrighted. It accuses OpenAI of breaching trust and fiduciary duties, disrupting legal frameworks, and potentially engaging in willful and wanton negligence by increasing existential risks related to AI.

Finally, the complaint alleges that OpenAI might have engaged in banned political activities, specifically suggesting that the technology may have been used to influence the 2020 US presidential election in favor of the Democratic party.
There is an entire product category of "universal power adapters"[1] that wouldn't exist if GP's problem weren't an issue - and that was back when most adapters were just "dumb" power sources that provided a fixed voltage with fixed maximum current.

There is no way to combine Micro USB, USBC, Thunderbolt and whatever Microsoft was doing with Surface devices into one adapter without separate electronics for each port.

> 1) Companies are not incentivized to produce incompatible cables

They absolutely are. I figure, it's not even greed (most of the adapters were included with the devices) but simply "designer convenience". It's certainly easier to design a device if you can choose an arbitrary input voltage and max power for your device.

It'll also certainly make your life as a manufacturer easier if you only have to provide warranty for devices that are run with your own power adapter.

Also, Apple in particular seems to have an aversion to follow any kind of standard not set by themselves if they can in any way avoid it. See Lightning, Thunderbolt, MagSafe, etc.

Doesn't mean this is better for anyone else except from the manufacturer.

> 2.) Would the amount of charging cables you have purchased in your lifetime even fill up one regular-sized (13 gallon-ish) trash bag?

I haven't measured but this isn't the point for me. But it used to be that the amount of adapters that you had to take with you were increasing: I.e. if laptop, phone and ipod all had different adapers and you were travelling, you had to take three of them with you.

> All my consumer electronics devices have stopped needing their own charger for years now.

Yes, so have mine, thanks to the EU regulation.

Managed to load the PDF. It seems to be pretty scattershot, basically a collection of every complaint we've all heard about AI. Not a lawyer but key complaints seem to be:

* Despite OpenAI’s mission to ‘benefit all of humanity in a broad and distributed manner,’ early stakeholders that are part of the YC network or bought in are now getting commercially invaluable early access to these systems.

* These GPTs have been trained on large datasets that belong to the commons; text, images, and video freely available across the internet. This free data is typically only used for research purposes under Fair Use law. No compensation has been offered to anyone who created this data. Much of it is copyrighted.

* The blitzscaling of OpenAI is problematic and illegal in a number of ways (Fraud, Breach of Trust and Fiduciary Duties, Legal Disruption, Copyright infringement, etc, etc, etc)

* Demonstrates bias against Trump and not Biden.
Not a lawyer, but my reading of this was quite different. It seems to me like the core of the argument is that "OpenAI" wants non-profit benefits while clearly profiting. While the complaint document itself is verbose, I imagine this is the kind of thing that eventually contributes to setting a precedent for how training data is handled in the legal system as well?

I notice the article only has base power draw in it. I’d want to know max TDP before anything gets crowned. This AMD is 15 watt base, the M2 is about 20 watts.

When the M1 came out, Intel announced chips that would crush and crush it they did, while drawing significantly more power. Intel announced with a 45 watt base TDP which didn’t look too far off the M1 Max, but the 12th Intels ended up peaking at 115 watts for the 12900HK.

It basically came down to if you were looking for something portable but would be plugged in when in use, the Intel offering was superior. If you wanted battery life, the Apple product remained superior.

Competition is good and hopefully AMD remains power competitive, but given a 7800 runs around 88 watts in normal use conditions and has 120 watt max budget, I would expect that performance AMD is touting to come with higher power draw.

And now think about all the normed parts you encounter everyday: screws, material, plugs, tools, fuel... All of those stabdards have been enforced at one time. Including adminiszartive commitees, staffed mostly by industry (!), to revise them and keep them updated.

That neother of those exists anymore is hardly the fault of those norms.

I hear this point a lot from standardization-inclined folks, and strongly disagree.

Standardization works to turn already existing solution into a widespread commodity. Standardization does not work efficiently to invent new better ways of doing things.

The only viable driver for innovation is experimentation, not making new ‘better’ standards on paper inside some walled “industry” committee.

It's funny, because I've never really thought hard about this, but I made a similar decision on my personal site.

My site has a "dark mode" style theme - dark background and "white" text.

When I was initially designing the theme, I opted for a slightly-less-white text color, and as I've spent more time on it, I ended up bumping that color to be closer to pure white. (I'm using Tailwind, so this change amounted to "text-neutral-400" -> "text-neutral-300".)

I think I did this because the "more white" color seemed... sharper (very insightful, I know)? Like it was "an assault on the eye" to have the color be so bright. As I continued working on the site, I decided, in short, that that was stupid, and that I should have more contrast.

This was a good reminder for me that some of my pages need that styling updated, but it works out well for demonstrating the difference:

This page has the old, less contrasting color for the body text (text-neutral-400): https://epiccoleman.com/posts/2023-03-07-how-i-built-this-si...

This page has the new, "whiter" color (text-neutral-300): https://epiccoleman.com/posts/2023-04-05-svg-circle-of-fifth...

After skimming through these again as I linked them in this post, I think I could even bump it up to be even closer to white.

I also have a pretty bright monitor (it's an Apple Thunderbolt Display that I got for a pittance from my old office when they switched to Dell monitors). So that may be influencing me towards slightly less contrast.

Anyway, not to ramble, but I guess my point is - design is hard! It's not easy to take into account all the myriad different factors that need to be considered to make designs that look aesthetically pleasing while maintaining readability at various brightnesses and screen sizes and so on and so forth.

Edit: One other consideration - I wanted some color contrast between elements like text, headings, and the post date - so that's another thing I was trying to take into account. For example, if you want your headings to be a bit brighter than your text, you're left using (for example) text-neutral-200 for headings and text-neutral-300 for text. Again, as I continued tweaking, I realized that the size difference between headings and text does enough work establishing contrast that this was unnecessary - but it's just one more factor in a long list of things a designer has to think about to make things look right.
The surplus is created by the environment that grows the fish. Sunlight, plankton, little fish, big fish, plate.

Then someone brings in a trawler that scoops up all the fish, and the heretofore independent fishermen now need to do something to convince the seafood company to give them the fish sticks now pooped out by the ship.

So the fishermen become tax accountants and baristas, to provide services for the fish company's clerks.

Net, there is now more economic activity and more GDP. Whereas before, the country only produced as much fish as the fishermen needed to eat (and some surplus to sell at the local market), now it also produces tax services, and espresso services, and fishstick exports.

This lasts for about a decade until the fish stocks are depleted.

The fishermen, who used to live in bamboo huts they'd rebuild themselves every few years, now live in concrete apartment blocks, and they can no longer afford rent.

There's rumours Apple made a 10-year commitment to lightning, which wouldn't be at all unusual - especially giving all the moaning when they switched from 30-pin to lightning.

I find it hard to believe that cables are a core part of their business. It just gets thrown out every chance it gets. They put usb-c on their laptops, everyone said it was to sell dongles. They didn't put usb-c on the phones, everyone said it was to sell dongles.

All reminds me of people saying what a huge mistake it was that the original imac didn't have a serial port or a floppy drive.

Let me put it this way then: "AI" allows common men to ask a computer questions using human languages, instead of using a string of esoteric keywords and symbols arranged in a way a computer understands (aka programming languages).

You can put a modest telescope on a good quality mount and produce some great photographs, or amateur science if you want. No telescope will be able to overcome the faults of a mount that can't drive it with great accuracy. Notably their site has very little to say about the mount itself (except that it's "direct drive").

The question is more: Why the fuck do you care if Apple allows sideloading or not. It is a feature you do not have to use and (if Apple implements sideloading) you probably would need to explicitly activate. Just leave the option off, but instead you are here saying the option should not exist for anyone. Those that are reluctant to use it can just ignore it.

WHY?

I should be able to load anything on any phone THAT I OWN. Even if the manufacturer does not want me to. I bought the Phone. I didn't Rent it. I didn't borrow it. IT IS MY PHONE. Why should the manufacturer dictate what I am allowed to do with the phone?

> especially the EU, which was mostly built on the basis of confrontation with Russia

The EU was build to avoid another World War were Germany/UK/France start fighting. Once all European countries are tied economically for any of them to benefit of starting a war is very difficult.

And, of course, there is also the idea that a bigger economic area will create more opportunities and make Europe more competitive.

If anything projects like Nordstream prove that countries inside the EU were willing to increase their ties with Russia. If Russia had not initiated another war, Crimea was given a pass, there will be closer ties.

Russia has nobody else to blame from breaking ties with Europe but themselves.
The percentage (77% of victims lose money) is totally unfounded.
