> Why are these laws in place if they are not enforced?

Because the agencies that enforce them... Don't enforce them.

The government ran an investigation into government corruption and found itself free of corruption.
Bard just dives right in and role-plays it. It honestly feels kind of barbaric compared to the more sophisticated GPT4 answers.

Luckily I'm only working on those code bases so I don't care if it causes other programmers' heartache. If you don't like your code base, then I swear it's never been easier to find a job on newer code bases.
> Peptides can't be patented.

This is...mostly wrong. Like both normal wrong, and "x-y problem" wrong. There is definitely some truth in there, but the full explanation would require an actual lawyer, because there's a LOT of layers of complication.

Just so people don't have to simply take my word against yours, here's Jacob Sherkow, JD, a professor of law and medicine at the Illinois College of Medicine on the topic:

> semaglutide that's "made, used, sold, offered to be sold, or imported into the United States is possibly an act of infringement, if Novo were to sue them"

But this isn't just about patents -- that's the "x-y problem" that I was talking about. It may not be legal to import active ingredients of FDA-approved drugs. Most peptides (AOC-9604, BPC-157, Ibutamoren, Ipamorelin, etc) are "legal" because they're not considered drugs. Once they're FDA approved, they become not legal to import/re-sell unless you're a compounding pharmacy. It wouldn't generally be legal to import fexofenadine (OTC allergy medication), for example, even though it's not a controlled substance. Because importing non-FDA drugs is generally not legal unless you're a licensed part of the medical supply chain.

So yes, compounding pharmacies can provide it to you and you offload the legal gray areas onto them. But just saying "they can't be patented" kind of hides most of the legal quandaries. From a practical perspective, many organizations and individuals do import these things without worrying about legal consequences, because enforcement is very low. But I wouldn't formally pretend the legal issues don't exist at all levels.

I highly doubt it’s trained on that. I’m the sure it was curated and trained on the good stuff.
Rust is still in the noise vs the amount of market share that C++ has. That said I love it as a language but it's hardly "taking over", I have tried to push it at my company a bit for command line utilities.
AI shown to predict risk of pancreatic cancer well before symptoms appear
Scientists have found that artificial intelligence could be an effective tool in predicting pancreatic cancer before a single symptom appears, according to a study published in the journal Nature Medicine on May 8.

A team of researchers led by Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark and Harvard Medical School in Boston completed a sweeping study to determine whether AI could flag a person’s risk of developing the disease.

The results exceeded their expectations, with the model successfully predicting risk up to three years before diagnosis.
This comment is why the industry died in the US.

There is no such thing as a 'free market' really. Once people have been pulled into a specific academic program without 'true knowledge of market forces', the switching costs are high. They take an entry level job because, well, it's a job. 4 years later they find out there are only 3 employers who want their ultra niche skill, and so the employers use their power to leverage to shit wages.

This shortsighted action causes the opportunities in high wage areas to fail as devs do 'other things', while the jobs move to places where there are even more rigid systems and the 'work hierarchy' is integrated right into culture. Like Korea.

It's also why even very talented software developers outside the US are paid so little - it's hard to justify high pay in most companies, as it's not clear how to discriminate between the 'true talent' and 'regular devs' - so talent gets anchored very low. Devs languish or move or find solace in working on something interesting and intellectual, which is common.

It's why there is no real 'hardware' industry in the USA, all of the jobs are niche even if they are very hard, industry can hold them to the wall for low salary, it's more effective for them to be carpenters, while the jobs go to Asia.

All of that plus the fact that software can move much quicker and can be more profitable, the 'windfall' economic part of software makes the VC math work out better to justify more investment.

If we were to reorganize that around net value creation instead of just local barter between trades and enterprises, it'd be a different situation. Very hard to do. Government is stepping in with a big starting point, will industry follow suit? Maybe, I doubt it.
vanilla options (edit: pricing model) were invented by LTCM and they blew up on degenerate bets too

looks like it just comes with the predisposition

Well, I didn't think that anyone would say "completely impossible to be up to speed on what reality's doing" without some arcane math topic and mean it perfectly seriously.
These populations have HIV/AIDS, Hep C, and TB mostly.

Forcing psychotropic drugs on uncontrolled psychotic patients is already done. They are a danger to themselves and the people around them. Once stabilized they are discharged and they get scooped up again after the antipsychotics wear off. They really stand no chance without constant intervention.
UE looks cool, it's full of features, but it's also full of warts (especially when you realize how poorly designed and implemented certain parts are, and the huge mess they made with their C++). My major issue with blueprints is that they are always abused and turn into an unmaintainable mess in the blink of an eye.

The company I work at has a massive UE-base codebase and we've been working hard for months to purge as much blueprint logic from our it as we can because it's simply impossible to maintain them. Epic is pushing them hard but I just can't see them as more than a way for amateurs to mock up stuff.
Imagine being on Hacker News and arguing against user freedom. Do you realize where you are?
Was thinking the same, but wonder if an arrest in Japan is somehow different to an arrest in US for instance, and hence not quite as excessive as it immediately sounds.
what about emulators?
The idea of belief/tribes being more rhiziomatic, being assemblages of vibes/ actually kind of has some real appeal to it, kind of works?

Scenario: you register foo.com and generate a certificate. You get bored and let the domain lapse. A decade later, a bank re-registers the domain. At best, they can only revoke your cert after it's used in a MITM attack, and a single fraudulent bank transfer from a rich person can net you a million bucks.
Punishment is big business and criminals are your "total addressable market". Lawyers, law enforcement, prisons, security companies, etc and anyone providing services to them rely on there being a steady supply of crime and criminals to stay in business. Reducing crime isn't actually in the establishment's best interest.

Van Gogh and the Consolation of Trees
First, I agree regularly capture is highly incentivized in capitalistic systems but I am going to argue regularly capture is in fact anti capitalist.

Anyway there’s a common argument for IP as being capitalist, but there’s also many arguments that limitations on IP are also capitalist. Many musicians only want to outlaw the most blatant forms of copyright infringement as they feel imitation drives things forward. There’s a huge spectrum of arguments around the idea that various forms of IP is in fact government granted monopolies on culture which limit competition. Obviously companies with valuable IP want to extract as much money as they can from it, but that’s just profit maximization.

To be clear I am not arguing for any specific set of rules for what is or isn’t capitalist. There’s advantages to more freewheeling systems where constant minor improvements can quickly play out in the market (Chinese copycat electronics) and there’s advantages to systems which promote larger scale investments (cars).

IMO, it’s the results being consistently applied that’s most important. Both vary stringent environmental regulations and nonexistent regulations are capitalist. What you can’t have is insiders able to bribe enforcement so only one company can make a competitive product because then the market isn’t rewarding investment. Which is exactly what you describe in the telecom industry.

Here's a better link about vacancies, actually: https://socketsite.com/archives/2022/02/there-are-not-40000-...

I just don't think the numbers hold that second homes and short-term renting account for the problem. Remember, California needs to build four million new homes just to deal with existing demand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_housing_shortage

IIRC also Vancouver (which is I think even more expensive than SF) tried to tax vacant homes and stuff and I don't think it made a dent. https://vancouversun.com/business/real-estate/three-years-in...

I'm not sure why people are so resistant to the obvious solution, but it seems to me no matter how you look at it, you just end up coming back to the most effective thing to do is going to be to get more housing built.
ChatGPT: I apologize for any inconvenience caused. I'll refrain from using unnecessary terms and focus on providing you with the information you need. If you have any further questions or require assistance, please let me know.

ELIZA: How long have you been always apologizing?
Where should it be used, and where shouldn't it?

I think, right now, with something like mitmproxy, for example, you can't use the wireguard mode unless the other proxy is "elsewhere." With this, perhaps you could use it from the same machine?
The last line in the argument reads:

assuming that Stephen wasn't playing games with me, GPT-4 not only
gave the best possible answer to my query, it even knew somehow
that I was referring to the Wolfram language.

Given the earlier interactions, is it not possible that the very references to Wolfram in these previous interactions provide a "bias" or inference in answers that ChatGPT gives and as noted in other comments, the need to appear courteous and knowledgeable (even condescending?) makes it provide an answer using wolfram language?

Perhaps it is unanswerable because a truly separate same query by another unrelated user to attempt to remove the bias is no longer possible, the bias in THAT question is now embedded.

Isn't this exactly the problem with these models, they actually can become self biassing based on all their own previous answers?

The wrong get wronger :)

I guess I was distinguishing them in terms of whether the event in question has already previously been specified, or is being newly introduced and specified now.
I’m a very happy Kagi user, the search results are way better (subjective, I know) for me, that is, I can usually find what I’m looking for in the first few entries.

I’m under the early adopter pricing but I fear that the higher price (and cognitive effort in lower prices to keep track of how many searches I’ve made) might make adoption a bit harder. I really really really don’t want Kagi to go away! I’ve shared with some friends that are also using it and even though they also reacted to the price change, they decided to stay (just like me) because of the early adopters price.

This part is totally unsolicited advice, but I find my self searching quite often for the same thing, like, my browser will remember a search instead of the domain of the thing I’m searching for (i.e. wanna go to namecheap, my browser remembers the namecheap kagi search instead of namecheap.com), maybe there could be some space to optimize repeated searches? Idk, if I’ve made a search X times the just cache it and return me the same result, don’t count that towards the total, and add a little message that the results are cached and if I want to search again click there? I know I could make bookmarks but changing behaviors is a way taller ask than caching. Anyways, best of luck and I really really hope that kagi stays afloat!
A cheapo home probably would help that guy a lot. This is called a housing-first approach. It's easier to get off drugs when you're not, you know, homeless. But yes, other approaches are needed for serious drug problems. But we know that drug problems aren't the biggest factor in homelessness.
i am not making any assumptions at all. only stating two objective facts: Russia has ratified multiple international test ban treaties, and it has honored those treaties so far.

you are the one making assumptions and imputing negative intent.

i do agree that it ultimately does come down to the point that they "don't want to," because of course a treaty is just words on paper, so it is always a choice whether to follow it or not.

on the other hand, to assume that Russia's choice to abide by its treaty obligations is because their nukes "don't work" is a wild leap of fantasy based on no evidence or logic whatsoever.

Russia is clearly massively outgunned both militarily and economically by the US/NATO and nobody disputes this.

logically it is in Russia strategic interests to pressure the US into nuclear treaties that reduce US nuclear capacity so that Russia can be more competitive militarily at a lower cost.

Russia would not be able to maintain even their war in Ukraine without the support or acquiescence of their allies and countries that see a benefit in remaining somewhat neutral (china, india, brazil, turkey, saudi arabia, iran, and many others). Russia would have zero chance whatsoever in direct all out warfare with US/NATO and they are well aware of this and so they have to play to the court of international opinion in order to stay alive.

consequently, it is in Russia's interests to avoid escalation, especially nuclear escalation, as much as possible, and this is the course they have been following so far.

i am not making any assumptions about Russian intent (which i know nothing about) but the objective facts of their strategic situation mean that launching (or testing) nukes would be suicidal and so, assuming that they are rational enough to have basic survival instincts, this seems highly unlikely unless it is a last ditch mutually assured destruction play where they know they are going to be conquered either way.
Not to mention all the bullshit social media platforms that promoted the stupid conspiracies that led to the insurrection and even profited off all the "engagement" around it.
> The incentives to leave China and come to the US must be shrinking.

Seems like the opposite from my perspective. Window on a more open China seems to be shrinking fast. What makes you think reasons to leave are shrinking?

If someone is claiming "concerns" about vaccines for >15 years and is regularly found lying, what else should you call them? Because he hasn't just had "a problem with a specific vaccine".
The article answers that

> "Steins;Gate" is a visual novel, and as the name implies, the gameplay consists primarily of reading, with few prompts or inputs required by the player. With the intended appeal being much more watching the narrative unfold than directly controlling the onscreen action, visual novels are, comparatively, closer than other games to a book or movie

In contrast, even a campaign in AOE2 requires a lot of actions to go anywhere.
Also, there is MHL alt mode which sends the signal over one pair like DP.mi don’t know if this gets used but at least it makes sense unlike HDMI mode.

The reason why HDMI alt mode is awful is that it uses most the wires for HDMI. That doesn’t leave any wires for other uses like USB3. It may even use USB2 wires. The UsB-C docks would be impossible. The only use is for passive adapters.
Seems the first fast movie arrests were about two years ago.

Why are you outright denying that the data exists? And you're calling it being "grounded in reality"? Seriously? That's lunacy. The data I provided demonstrates you are wrong about your theory of homelessness. I can't do anything else for you.
¿Por qué no los dos?

Due to the inherent unpredictability and lack of scheduling guarantees of sleep on most OSes, it is likely that sleepsort won't work in the first try.

Append a check for order and a retry loop when the solution is incorrect and now you have a production-ready sort. A sleepbogosort

I declare this my new favorite sorting algorithm.

Are you arguing that voters should continue supporting "establishment stooges" because hoping for change is pointless?
Agree about usury and all (I think mortgages should probably be illegal), but is consumerism really a big driver of high earners continuing to focus on high earning as opposed to more altruistic research? I feel like keeping up with the Jones’ maxes out at a level that, while much higher than the median income, is not that high among the incomes of geniuses wasting their potential at tech companies. The treadmill feels much much much more about status and future freedom than about consumption itself (granted some consumption is status signaling in nature).
Maybe there just weren’t any that worked very well. Once upon a time I had the privilege of seeing an FDA database of adulterated herbal / nutritional supplements; and the most common thing in there by an overwhelming margin was supplements spiked with Viagra. When I asked why I was told, “Man has searched for an aphrodisiac for thousands of years, and we finally found one.”
I agree with all of that.

I guess I interpreted your first response as disagreeing with my comment, when you were actually just bringing up a different topic.

You are missing that there is a chip in HDMI side of the cable that converts DisplayPort to HDMI. DisplayPort is what goes over the cable and what the device knows about.
That's why I said the scaled cosine distance, the dot product between two vectors is a scaled version of the cosine distance.

This is practically every neural network layer that uses a MAD (multiply-add) computational motif, including 3x3s.

Surprisingly few people know this.

I believe you might have the reduction order a bit backwards -- the dot product reduces to cosine similarity and not the other way around as cosine similarity is the normalized dot product.
A lot of devs work for Apple (or Microsoft or TikTok or...); engineering and ethics are totally orthogonal. ;p
American cars tend to be a lot cheaper to maintain than German.
this is more common than you may think at all levels of the industry. some failures get more publicity than others. all the hand wringing over vendor silicon reliability data and TRIM and RAID topology and i/o pattern optimization doesn't matter one bit when the firmware just decides to delete itself along with all the data for no reason at all.

this one was a real pain in the ass to deal with. always make testable backups, people. backups are not the same as redundancy. a 1, 2, 3, even 7 or 14 day recovery point is far better than poof it's gone.
It's interesting, it sounds like Apache is closer than I thought. I posted Netcraft's link since I've followed them for years, I'm not as familiar with W3Tech. I can't speak to which has more reliable data but W3Tech's numbers doesn't surprise me.

I think the goal is not to have "pypi uploaders" but instead have a discovery system designed to enable safe caching of artifacts and automatic discovery of where an artifact is hosted.

The exclusionary aspects can be mitigated via somewhere like github offering package hosting for their users. $10/yr for a domain name also isn't all that much.
Pretty much any game you can think of has a full playthrough on YouTube. I am not fully informed on this topic, but from a distance, this seems like a poor decision by the Japanese government. Why go after YouTubers when there is rampant piracy of all things anime? Easy targets?
I find it interesting how HFT apparently creates no economic value whatsoever. The value is siphoned off more traditional market trades.
I really don't understand how this company fell so far from grace. Their product was excellent. Don't get me wrong, I've read the history and understood how they failed to pivot from hardware Lisp machines, but they have completely vanished without even chugging along as a legacy systems provider (think OS/2).

Does any of their influence survive in modern hardware or software design? I hardly ever see Genera cited.
The parent commenter in this case is referencing the tendency for high dimensional spaces to very quickly go "off the rails" in that, if I understand correctly, most smooth spaces are locally flat, but as you get further and further away, the curvature can really screw with things.

Even with that fixed, Euclidean and otherwise measures do not translate intuitively to high dimensions outside of much more local spaces.
It would be interesting to see how this compares to FoundationDB[0].

The US has the fifth highest per capita prison population in the world.

The four countries with a higher per capita population are: El Salvador, Rwanda, Turkmenistan, and Cuba. (Omitting American Samoa, because that's a US territory).

None of those are major countries, so the statement "The US is the most punitive major country in the world" absolutely holds water.

If you want an idea of how crazy high incarceration rates are in the states, just compare the prison population per 100,000 inhabitants with its neighbors:

Canada - 85
Mexico - 174
USA - 505

On a side note I wonder how many people would rather lose a limb than spend a decade in US prison.
Dan Ives says China is losing the A.I. race
