The US, for the most part, does it the same way.

Except to compare other developed countries to the USA, you have to remember that most other sane countries run elections from the nation level, whereas the US runs them primarily at the county level. We have 3300+ different jurisdictions all testing slightly different methods and policies with mostly the same aim. And states get to pass statutes to decide things like mail-in, dropboxes, identity requirements, etc. so counties can't homogenize their policies unless states do. Lots of small counties run their elections exactly as you described.

But we also have more requirements than other countries.[1] We support voting for out-of-country citizens and active-duty military. These are treated like mail-ins and have been for decades.

Some states support same day registration (including for people who move counties/states in the weeks before election day).

We support provisional ballots (there are lots of edge cases including recent name changes, citizens being removed from registry without the approval of the voter, ballot misprints, the paper was destroyed, the ballot print does not conform to the scanner, mail-in ballot was never delivered, etc). All of these types are reviewed by the county election officials with signature verification before they are counted as valid ballots.

"Having some basic form of identification is a prerequisite to being an at all involved member of society." So complain to legislators. In California, the right to vote supersedes the ability to get a valid government-issued ID or "being an at all member of society".[1] It's also worth pointing out that the right to vote is a constitutional right, whereas the ability to obtain a government-issued ID is both cumbersome and very expensive for some people. Think along the lines of people whose documents were all destroyed in a fire, people who are homeless, and people who are released from prison but whom have not paid the massive fines associated with prison in many states. It's not my fault that you value the right to vote differently than legislators.

Wow look at this thing that has the potential to do labor that previously required a human's time and effort. When you capture the value it means you can either do more or have more leisure. When you don't capture the value it means the treadmill of "being valuable to my employer" just got faster.

> Why not automate cargo ships? There's far less to hit in the ocean and far fewer inputs required.

Maneuvering a ship is but a very small part of all that's needed to maintain a ship operational – engine maintenance, paperwork, dealing with port agents and customs, operating the radio, etc.. Much of that can be automated, I'm sure, but the return on investment is quite poor. Crew salaries are a small part of all operations costs, so you're not saving much by removing them from the equation. (Add to that the fact that large cargo ships can exceed $1B worth of cargo, so I'm not surprised that the economics don't make much sense.)

> A delusion is a false fixed belief that is not amenable to change in light of conflicting evidence.

Another way to think of being delusional is “lying to yourself”…

Personally I’d argue yes. I’m lying to myself and then by proxy to everyone around me.

I could say “I don’t know” instead, but I didn’t.

I'm watching the imagineering story on Disney+ now (s1:e1) and it seems he did build it. To what are you referring?
Governements are in a weird place on those fronts. Either they don't try to interfere with what happens on social media, and they are criticized for not protecting people, and also have to deal with the consequences (I'd argue that misinformation about a disease will have health consequences. Maybe they're overedtimated, though ?)

Alternatively, they have to try and "police" social media, which can not look like anything but policing free speech, which, especially in times of uncertainty, is bound to backfire.

I wonder if people would be concerned too if the social media platforms were, in the end, ruled by juges rather than governments?

It would still be a "them", but at least it would not be the same "them". Or would the social networks start to revolt against judges ?

(Yes, I know, it will look a lot like separation of powers ((c) Montesquieu), and like we're going to reinvent "judges" and "the laws of free press from the late 1800s" any time soon.)
> In this sense, in the coming period, a better position, improved conditions, continued constant growth in the number of registered ".ME" domains and an approach to the sale of Premium domains that will produce the desired results are expected, which would ultimately be reflected in an increase in the total income of the state from this extremely a significant resource.

I’m not surprised by this move, I always was a little wary of using country code TLDs.
The problem with that is that you need to spend money to either host your own instance or pay someone else to do it for you. Most people are tech-illiterate and do not want to pay to host something which doesnt even reach the threshold to be a "hobby"

Well, yeah. There's a distinction between lying and being incorrect. I do think the parent is right in that when we accuse someone of lying, we're mostly accusing them of making assertions or statements they don't believe to be true (actually, this means that their lies could actually be factually correct—all that really matters is the the author of the utterance does not actually believe in the truth value of what they are saying)
For this particular form of demo, modern hardware is just too powerful, and the quality of the demo is purely the quality of the assets. So a demo for a modern platform would require the same scale as what big AAA game or movie studios produce. Which is also art, but a different kind.

With limitations, more interesting cleverness, and a scale of project a single person can muster, can thrive instead. So there probably really is something to this particular generation of hardware, the order of thousands of bytes is more "human scale".

I don't think you would make this argument if you had seen up close the damage a car can do to a pedestrian. The problem isn't noise. It's that there are two ton vehicles traveling close to unprotected people. Anything that can mitigate that is a good thing. The argument about noise pollution causing health issues is ridiculous in comparison.

I've heard that some EV drivers turn off the sound because it annoys them. They are potentially setting themselves up for a lifetime of remorse.

I think one of the biggest problem with this kind of tools is the inability to know that it doesn't know. It doesn't really know how to be humble besides things that it has been hardcoded to response as such (like giving financial or health advises).

I think that every single response from an AI is a liability on the company's part. This is unlike an internet search where it is only displaying links but LLMs are basically synthesizing new contents. If they want to claim that what their AI produces is not merely a derivative of their inputs then I say let them have it (in order to not pay those that the AI gets its information from).

Thus, if they do suggest submerging your kid under water for 5 minutes to cure their headache, then such recommendation necessarily comes from the company that provides them. And they should be liable for such posts; just like how every other company would if one of their employee ever suggests such a thing.

I am very sure. The number of immigrants does not reflect the difficulty of the process and misrepresents the constituents of that group. If you break down your numbers by type of visa, you'll see that chain migration is a major factor (where someone applies for a resident visa as a family member of an existing resident or citizen). If you're a college educated engineer (the type of immigrant the US should be trying to attract) without any family already in the US, good luck to you.

IMO this is a bogus perspective. Any culture activity ultimately needs curation or you end up with shit.

I am an American that grew up near the border and always listened to Canadian radio because it was so much more diverse musically. The only thing that could compete was local college radio because it was heavily subsidized by student tuition.

Otherwise, you end up with the lowest common denominator of shit with culture competing in an open market.

The alternative is great if you just want to watch super hero movies and listen to pop music all day.
This assumes AI will be able to offer support outside the trained corpus of human knowledge and generate code with post-training-date apis. These will probably still require human support and feedback so that subsequent AIs can also support them.

This means companies like stack overflow will require licensing and compensation for AI corporations to use new data - it won't be free anymore.

Data hoarding is the future, not open data sharing (because everyone will fear being replaced). We will see a more closed future behind paywalls. It will be very expensive for subsequent versions of ChatGPT etc. to be trained with up to date knowledge outside of Wikipedia etc.
We knew at the beginning of 2020 that the mortality rate was below 1%, we new it wasn't a new black death.

It was also quickly made taboo to say anything comparing it to a common cold. Many platforms silenced these ideas by censoring posts and shadow banning users.

There absolutely was hystaria involved but it was leaders, medical experts, and society responding irrationally based on fear. We did know it wasn't the plague, there were some in early 2020 raising valid points that it looked to have a mortality rate closer to 0.1% largely impacting the elderly and seriously ill.

How where these steps taken by governments valid, both legally and morally, when they were driven by fear and crushing individual rights?
It's really useful for the entertainment industry. Great copywriting, or rewriting, or perspective taking (tell me what is important about this from the perspective of [blank]). I also enjoy it as an interactive assistant.

It's sort of ok with massive error correction for lots of other things, but what I find is prompt engineering is a serious skill to learn, not unlike learning a formal computer language. Maybe even higher effort. So, the barrier to know how to prompt ChatGPT is sort of high, and outside narrow fields the output is not especially useful, which makes it another niche automation tool.

Pure Wasm is, OTOH, a fairly interesting constrained platform if you keep the JS glue to a bare minimum (essentially requestAnimationFrame, call Wasm, and blit the TypedArray you get onto a <canvas>, plus similar for the audio) and don’t export any JS APIs to the Wasm side either. Then essentially all you can do is pure computation without side effects, writing the results to a fixed chunk of memory to be blitted. No HW acceleration, no OS services, no "unbounded" heap to allocate from at your leisure…

Of course you can do all this natively too, but you have to enforce the constraints yourself.
I disagree. I think it misses the point completely.

The C64 had limitations not because of its relative capabilities from today but t because of its literal limitations. Even back in 80s and 90s, when those systems were still relevant, people were pushing the capabilities of those systems for fun.

There are demo scenes for web browsers of sorts but they’re not the same as the C64 era because there simply isn’t any limitations on what you can do in a modern browser. So instead of the demos like in this article, you get people either implementing $game in x lines of code (often with about a hundred thousand lines of additional dependencies that weren’t counted), or someone building interesting mini games in WebGL.

However when you look back at the web prior to WebGL, WASM, etc, there were the more C64-like demos because the web back then was limited. Which is when you saw things like Linux running on an x86 emulator in pure JavaScript.

So it absolutely is about the fun of trying to build something that the platform shouldn’t support given the platform’s limitations. For some people, it is like a sudoku for crossword. The fun in the challenge.

Now you can argue whether calling that an “art form” is pretentious not. But art is subjective so I say just live and let live on that particular point. If people think of it as an art then it is art to them. If you don’t then it’s not art to you. But it’s silly to argue other whether it is or isn’t art.

I tried a bunch of different options and landed on multipass.

I'm curious whether someone has found a good option for running x86 images on m1 chips.

I'm generally happy with the multipass VMs I'm creating but they are arm architecture so then if i use docker images inside them I'm limited to arm images. Maybe I just haven't explored how to run x86 correctly within multipass?

I'm finding that usually arm images are a step behind the x86 images if they are official, or they are built by someone outside the organization, so I'm never sure I'm using a safe image.

Do any of the options here make it performant to run x86 on apple silicon? Some interesting comments on Rosetta that I don't fully understand.

There are quite a few things that have their own JIT / code generator instead of using the gcc or llvm infrastructure that has worked for years. New ISAs is always the downside of doing your own code generation.

Dotnet doesn't yet have a RISC-V JIT. Samsung are currently doing that. A couple of months ago they had it to the point of a command line Hello World working, but there's still probably a 1-year project for a team to finish everything to production quality.

There was a message from the maintainer this week that Luajit is getting close to being usable.

Java JVM has worked for a long time but without JIT. I think that is also being worked on but I'm not sure the status.

There was a blog post this week with the status of Box64 on RISC-V with some benchmark results. It seems to be basically fairly complete but not yet polished.

Driving provides far more utility than just moving a person. It moves to-and-fro many people over relatively large distances with many other objects, all on demand and on the whim of the driver.
