Looks like the bill as passed didn't include that provision?

https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/3151
Several factors:

* I'm assuming that when you were a student, you didn't have a lot of possessions to move, didn't have a family and kids to move too, didn't have a house to sell.

* You generally need to acquire a place to live before you can move, otherwise you'll be homeless when you get there. This will probably involve putting down a significant deposit on a new apartment, before you get the deposit back on your current apartment, if you live in an apartment. And many apartments require income verification to apply, which makes it difficult to move to find a new job; you have to already acquire a new job in the new place before you move. And of course travel is expensive to find/acquire a new job/home in a new place.

* Moving can be very time consuming, especially if it's long distance. Which means time off from work, which may lower your income even more.

* Of course losing access to friends and family, as you said.
Thanks! Just read through all the provisions in the law and indeed noted the lack of any apparent reference to this disgraceful scheme.
Here's an interesting article I think you might learn something from. An excerpt:

> There are lots of good arguments against considering superintelligence a threat. Maybe strong AI is centuries or millennia away. Maybe there will be a very gradual transition from human-level AI to superintelligent AI that no single agent will be able to exploit. And maybe superintelligence can be safely contained in a very carefully shielded chamber with no means of connection to the outside world.
But the argument above has always seemed to me like one of the weakest. Maybe we’ll create a superintelligence, but it will just have no idea how to affect the physical world, and will just have to stay forever trapped in a machine connected to a worldwide network of computers that control every aspect of our economic and social lives?

Perhaps it will pan out, but it seems more like a private intellectual-property play than a real effort. It will likely slow progress by wrapping up information and access.

Methodologically, no one solves a hugely complex system by looking at the whole thing.

We've made tremendous progress when investigators focus on one interaction and do the bench work to isolate and prove features of it.

It's true that researchers need interaction data banks, e.g., to identify all the components in a metabolic cycle, to see what might be affected when part of that is amplified or suppressed.

Epidemiology is notoriously unhelpful in immune research because there are not enough numbers/powers to overcome individual variability.

Researchers largely work on models that operate immediately. There are no in-vitro models for immune learning, and few even for the relevant gene regulation.

People have tried and failed to build a control-system model for even the simplest interactions of a single cell.

Synthetic biology companies have burned billions with few results. I wouldn't expect someone with 40 years in HIV research to have the technical or leadership skills to pivot to the immune system.

My mom really enjoys the Silent Hill series and my wife loves Zelda. Can you explain what makes "extensive video gaming" a man thing?

For that matter, what makes programming a man thing? Some of the most prominent names in computer science are women. Grace Murray Hopper would probably take some issue to you calling programming a man thing.

That's all true, but everybody has access to that. None of that is scarce so the value is basically 0.

You asked for advantages that Google has and the text of 25 million books is one thing. A lot of the text is going to be scarce and so it's something of value Google has and others do not.

Google also has built a massive GIS database from driving their cars around the world. Apple has a smaller database and there are some third parties (like ESRI) that will sell you access to their database. If you want to ask an AI something about your neighborhood, Google has more data than anybody on that front.

Doing twice as much of it wouldn't scale.

Making a super-flat mirror is extremely difficult and requires state-of-the-art facilities, and state-of-the-art equipment. And highly trained, experienced employees. And there aren't enough of any of that to scale rapidly.

It's not just about scaling 1 input. You have to scale the entire supply chain.

Is this really something a technologist could take on? Apple could almost certainly copy and improve any hot new tech before it has time to seriously hurt their bottom line. They have a ton of resources...

My guess is that only another Apple could dethrone Apple. That's to say a company that produces high quality products with strong branding consistently over multiple decades. Google and Samsung are competitors but in my mind, as an Apple user, their products are not worthy quality wise of the luxury prices they demand.
I've noticed that Graeber's books seem to draw critics who complain that the book does exactly what it says it will up-front, with exactly the amount of rigor it says it will have, up-front. That he's not writing the Principia Mathematica of [topic of book] with each one seems to be a sticking point, even when the book never claims to be attempting that.

I see similar complaints about works like Russell's A History of Western Philosophy (nb I wrote that Principia reference before thinking to include this part). "There's too much of his opinion in it!" framed not as a caution against treating it as a straight unbiased "take" throughout, but as a flaw in the book. But... it lays out right up front that his intention is to first lay out each philosopher's positions as he understands them—and only a subset of those positions, explicitly avoiding some whole categories of philosophy—and then to provide his take on their position in the broader story of philosophy, which parts have been enduring and influential, which have fallen off, et c. And then then the book does that thing it said it was going to do. What do readers expect? Do people skip introductions and prefaces or something?

Bullshit Jobs goes out of its way to call out the limitations and scope of what it's attempting, it's not like it's trying to trick people.

(another thing I've noticed is people having trouble with the "concisely and confidently assert in a paragraph, then back up the position and directly address obvious criticisms in the following paragraphs" style that Graeber uses in, especially, Debt. I've read upset reviews that complain that Graeber ignored X, where X is some obvious problem with something he claimed, but he didn't ignore it, he explicitly covers that problem and attempts to address it, but it seems some readers check out the second they think of a problem in some argument and just go "ah ha, caught you you fraud, you didn't fool me!" and then, I dunno, skim-read until the next assertion, I guess?)

Tell HN: If you're launching an AI product, please do it without a waitlist
The era of getting interest from waitlists for AI products is hopefully over. As a user, I now hope to see the ability to sign up, or failing that an interactive demo, and failing that a demo video.

If it's an interactive demo and a waitlist to help you handle an influx of users, that seems fine.

Though a pure waitlist at this point without clearly showing the product isn't ideal.
Indeed. This is why a free press exists. Too bad fewer and fewer people appreciate it.
If you have the language server installed remotely LSP mode works via Tramp, too:

Best to add the language server to your application’s runtime anyway.

But for magit or vc you’ll need a remote git and repository, yes.

No, you're massively anthropomorphizing them. You can't just add a "loop for rationality"—writing is a second-order product of first-order reasoning. If a model trained on that second-order product isn't reproducing the first-order behaviour, you can't just tack it on in an extra module.

It's like trying to teach something to dance based on the footprints of dancers. Depending on the dance, maybe it'll work and maybe not, but with the dance of reason and the footprints of writing it's not working, and no extra module we tack on will change the relationship between the dance and the footprints. It's a fundamental flaw in the LLM architecture.

I don’t read that as a cause for guilt as a white person. I wasn’t there and I wouldn’t currently support that kind of endeavour. I’d almost certainly speak up against it, and I don’t hesitate to speak up about injustices that are still occurring.

I read it as important history to take into account moving forward. There’s no need for guilt over a past you didn’t participate in. There is however a benefit from considering the past and how it affects the present, and an opportunity to be better for it. At no point does anyone need to feel guilty, though.
Are they going to also coordinate this with the states so Federal and State can be done for free for most people?
I dont care what gender means:

>If gender now means something that doesn't realy exist then it is a useless word.

>As well as the redefinition of "gender" to an extent but "gender" as a term for sex is recent in any event and has been used by acedemics to refer to the sex based behavioral differences between males and females since its begining.

I notice you didn't respond to the rest of the post which is understandable given that you didn't even understand the part that you did reply to.

>but I can't help but think that's based on some irrational attachment you have to the old meanings

Can you point to where I show any attachment to the word "gender?" As I said, "gender" is a recent term for sex in any case, and I don't care about losing "gender" as a word in itself. What I did say is that people are unable to have meaningful conversations because of the confusion caused by the the attempt to redefine these words. I also disagree that the words have truly been redefined, not out of emotional attachment but because I simply do not agree with your claim that the definition has reached a consensus. And to your point about language being "a group thing," I would add that it was the genderists who forced this redefinition, complete with rules to fire people who do not follow it. That doesn't sound like "a group thing" to me at all. An example of a real redefinition is the word "egregious" which originally meant "outstanding."[0] Nobody forced anyone for the meaning to change, it evolved naturaly. In any case, my argument does not even rely on what the definition of "gender" realy is.

>or think that the words are therefor "useless" or "don't really exist", etc.

You have it completly backwords here. The word is useless as it conveys something that does not exist. Therefore we should not use it, but if we did truly use this word I would not say that it doesn't mean that, only that the meaning itself has no meaning. I think your inability to understand that words and meaning are seperate is what is confusing you here. But from the absense of "man" and "woman" from your argument alongside "gender," I think even you know that we will never see a male as a woman.

I stand corrected. What are the common suggestions to solve this issue?
My partner is a freelance copywriter / editor. Despite all the talk about how AI is going to take her job, she’s more in demand than ever. She has companies begging her to come on full time, but makes good coin freelancing and gets to set her own schedule that way. One of the challenges I observe is that a lot of people get hired into marketing roles because they are high-energy project managers - but they don’t know how to write, ironically. So there is an opportunity to be the grunt behind the scenes cranking out all the different types of content needed in corporate America. Also - in many industries there are rules and regulations about what you can say, how and when you can say it. Knowing those nuances also adds to your value.

That behaviour is actually documented though? It seems to be a corner case that OS developers didn't pay attention to until it was exploited.

It goes all the way back to 1980, where a revision to the 8086 introduced this to prevent an exception or non-maskable interrupt from using an incorrect stack pointer (by making MOV SS / POP SS atomic with the next instruction, which must load SP).

Arguably it should no longer be necessary in ring 3 protected mode, since the stack will be switched automatically - unless the handler itself was in ring 3, but no current OS allows that?
Any human-friendly alignment is better than none at all.

If China invades, the West probably couldn't swallow Russian-style sanctions for the whole country, but it would assuredly enact sanctions related to activity in Taiwan. TSMC is not trading with China suppliers to make its chips, its trading West.

https://www.techspot.com/news/96291-taiwan-destroying-tsmc-e...

So TSMC would probably become irrelevant in due time if there were strong sanctions against China. That, and the persistent rumour that Taiwan has a plan to literally blow up the fabs if China invades gives us a picture were invading Taiwan is ideological for China, not an economic power grab.
