Upon visiting the site, it automatically downloads a zip file named "YourTaxReturns.zip". And then what? How is this any worse than the user downloading the zip directly? They clearly wanted to download it, given they clicked on it after all.

IMO the correct solution is giving users adequate information. Instead of downloading files automatically, the browser should prompt. "You're about to download a file from the internet...".

Of course we all know what will really happen is Google will continue to use Chrome to obfuscate the way the internet works and all of the big tech companies will sell "solutions" to the problems they're causing.

> I don't know what to tell ya then.

Well maybe tell me a single car model where the door cannot be taken off and a single source outside of yourself who claims this as an anti-theft feature.

> if you disagree with that then we have to agree to disagree.

I agree with you that welding the hinge of a door to the chassis would lower its repairability. I disagree that it would make it less likely to be stolen. Cars are not stolen by people walking off with their doors. Assuming that there is some means of ingress and egress enabling normal users to regularly enter the vehicle, that is the doors are not completely welded shut, thiefs will use that.

If you are making the point that a vehicle completely welded shut would be less repairable, and also less likely to be stolen I guess I have to agree with that. For some reason I don’t predict it to be a comercial success though.

Common vehicle anti-theft features include immobilisers, steering locks, coded key fobs, car alarms, kill switches. I don’t see that you have shown that these techniques make cars less repairable.

> how about you just not buy kia.

Consider it done.

> why people want to involve the government in everything is just beyond me

I can explain this part. People get their car stolen and they call the police to report it. They expect that the police will expend resources to find it and punish the thieves. Many in among these very comments have expressed that sentiment. That is where the government gets in the picture.

Or people fall victim of some other crime. Like they have a hit and run traffic accident, or someone smashes into their shop window with a car and drives away with stolen goods, or any number of other crimes. They report it to the police who investigates and realises that the criminals used a stolen car to facilitate their crime. Because a ready source of easily stolen cars is not just a headache for the people whose car have gone missing. It undermines the security and safety of others too. This is an other way how the government got involved.

Are you with me so far? Do you agree that people can and should report to the police when crimes have been commited against them?

Assuming that we are on the same page so far. Or at least that you are seeing my point even if you are not agreeing: what happens next is that the police looks at their statistics and sees that many of these crimes have their root in the shoddy safety practices of a particular car manufacturer. They see that it costs them a lot of money too. So they go and ask their own government paid lawyer and ask them if they can do something about this. And presumably said lawyer told them that yes they can do something about it, they can sue the car manufacturer for public nuisance.

That is how people reporting crimes leads to the police noticing a common theme in the crimes and that leads to the city suing the vehicle manufacturer. I hope that answers your question about how and why people got the government involved in this issue.

And yet the process to grant bluecheck was to literally check personal id, and grant it to whoever had media presence. For years, you could request verification, send a couple of links citing you, provide a government-issued ID and that was it.

Twitter verified literally every public figure it could - regardless of politics - even those who didn't seem to need verification. However, being a niche contrarian blogger does not make you a public figure, and that's where I feel the resentment is located.

I think the source of creativity and knowledge is the world. Without access to the world we can't do science. LLMs are like brains in a jar, but when they get tools they can integrate external signals and actually become creative and even discover knowledge - like [1] and AlphaGo's move 37 (it has access to the go table, which is the "world" of Go)

But this "access to the world" needs massive scale, we are billions of humans all experiencing the world, AI needs probably a similar number of agents doing massive trials and search. AlphaGo sure did need lots of self-play games, not just a couple. AlphaTensor learned to improve matrix multiplication by the same method. Biological evolution produced us the same way.

It's an open-ended exploration problem. A closed system can't do it, and the scale needed makes it expensive.

Sorry, these views are not "how Americans view the U.S."

The GP comment is pushing a certain narrative that (in my view) has been ginned up by reactionary groups for their own ends.

In addition, it's wrong on the facts (insofar as it makes any fact-based claims versus just pushing buttons).

I'll go farther. I scoff most profoundly at the viewpoint of the GP post. I view people pushing it as low-information and politically naive (if they actually believe it) or evil and opportunistic (if they are just "intensifying the contradictions" for their own reactionary ends).
Yeah. It's a bit like a junior programmer saying architects are not software engineers because they don't write the code.

I am a musician and this is interesting to me at least. Some of it is laughably bad but there is some goodness in it too.

I could see this being used as a tool for song writers as it is currently it could be useful. Tell the AI a prompt listen to it and get some ideas. I do not think it is coherent enough to write a full song but I downloaded a few prompts and thought there is something good in this snippet.

This is good work whoever did it.
These models aren't actually doing any musical comparison -- they are trained on audio, and from audio, piece apart with a "note" and a "melody" and an "instrument" are from the labelled training data. No intentional theory is being done!

Algorithmic music composition has usually been split into two:

1. Generate notes (re: theory, genre)

2. Generate sound

(i.e., EMI[0], Kulitta[1], MusicNet[2])

Now we are doing both at the same time, and backwards. The model isn't (necessarily) going "write melody, then generate the sound", but rather, "here are 500 songs that are described with X, 500 with Y, and you want XY, so we'll combine these two" :)

(This is my best understanding, so feel free to correct)

That’s not true. Twitter hid the chronological feed behind a small button barely anyone knew about. And before that there was a multi-year period where the only way to get chronological tweets was via using Lists. Which was extremely frustrating.

I’m happy Twitter has made the followers only feed a prominent two-tab UI. The algorithmic one was always completely useless. If Twitter can do what YouTube did to their feeds recommendations feeds Twitter can do very well but without TikTok style engagement metrics with videos are well suited for I have a feeling it’s always going to be bad on Twitter.

I get the feeling the only people who (ever) liked and engaged with the Twitter AI feeds are the same people who like Reddits r/all, which aren’t the sort of people I want to interact with anyway.

Possibly. But you need to address the fact that a lot of these folks need expensive medical assistance. That isn't just housing.

Somewhere around 15% of SF homeless have a traumatic brain injury. That's about 1 in 8 homeless who desperately need expensive medical assistance.

Single payer/medicare for all would have a larger impact on the homeless than mere housing or cash.
This reminds me of being a kid in the 90s and installing the DOS version of Command & Conquer onto a parent’s laptop and then being asked to delete it. COMMAND.COM yep that must be it…
No, that is not an apt analogy. Homeowners did not design the lock. Homeowners did not introduce a flaw into the lock to save money.

Think about it this way: no one forces a kid to jump into a pool and drown, but if you have a pool without a fence completely surrounding it and the kid does just that, you are liable for the damages by creating an attractive nuisance. Hyundai created the situation of easily stolen cars by not "building the fence around their pool".
where we agree:

* not all cancers are caused by viruses.

* only some cancers are caused by viruses.

where we disagree:

* that science has proven the majority of tumors are definitely not caused by viruses.

could you kindly share a few of the studies disproving the majority case? in particular, i'm interested in the sample size and diversity powering these refutations.

to clarify, i'm not saying you're wrong. simply seeking to learn more.

You're right that there are a variety of folks working on these things, both in academia and industry, but it's more complicated than "PhDs do this, others do that". It comes down to knowledge, ability, and experience, and the best research groups grab onto that wherever they can and slot people into the roles that are right for them.

"In spite of its secondary role as a semiconductor supplier, the course of semiconductor research was shaped by the scientific and engineering achievements at BTL during the 1950s. While most of the semiconductor industry concentrated on manufacturing germanium transistors and diodes during this decade, BTL spent most of its research dollars on silicon devices... Of the ten major events instrumental in the demise of germanium as the preeminent starting material, seven originated at BTL while the other three were derived from BTL research activities. "[0]

It is highly dependent on make/model but most of the time the data is transmitted through the telematic control unit (TCU) which often has a cellular modem that can connect to cellular networks and you might be able to remove or disable/cut power to the TCU.

There is the other side of the equation , Indians have to fine with it too.

I can’t speak for all 1.4B, but I find this misappropriation of my identity at best annoying and many times offensive .

Just identifying ethnically in say a form is a complex dance in the US .

- Identify as an Asian is considered inaccurate and also not acceptable for East Asians who already find it difficult enough being grouped as one big AAPI bucket which have vast differences

- Identify as Indian could mean indigenous American or people from my country , so ambiguous.

- Identify as Indian American and have nuanced differences between American Indian understood, that is assuming label is accurate - for residents who are not naturalized citizens it is not and that’s most Indians in the US

- Identify as East Indian, that have different interpretation in India and America

It just not our identity it is the swastika, or turbans symbols of my culture are just appropriated to be abused or misunderstood at least our name should be ours ?
> The flip case is a large reason why I prefer the 28 though

I can see the split case might have some benefits. It wouldn't work the way you describe, but I wish they'd put scientific calculator hardware in the 200LX case. Nice display and great keyboard. (The 200LX _did_ have a built in program that acted a little like an 18C business calculator.)

I have both a 48SX and a GX. I like the form factor of both better than the 50, although the hardware on the 50 is much better. (If I remember properly, they replaced the custom Saturn CPU in the 50 with an ARM chip running an emulator... it's overall much faster.) Neither of mine get much use, but they do have lots of sentimental value.

The missus is a proofreader and editor.

Self-publishing means people frequently don't have a proofreader or editor, and most adults like to think they wouldn't need a proofreader or editor for a kids book because they're an adult.

Everybody needs a proofreader and editor, especially people who think they don't, or think Grammarly is an adequate substitute for a human being.
