The Republican SCOTUS feels that it should have completed unchecked power to invalidate any laws or policies to which it is ideologically opposed. Its power has never been checked. It has only ever usurped and expanded its power, and only ever moderated under the threat of being packed. The constitution gives Congress the explicit power to set the jurisdiction of the supreme court, which to my knowledge, has never been used to restrict their power.

The Republican supreme court believes all policy decisions should be left to the legislative branch, not because Congress cannot delegate authority, but because the filibuster completely guarantees that nothing can become law without a 60-vote supermajority in the Senate, which in the current political environment means votes from several members of the hyper partisan Republican party.

It's like all the celebration of George Washington relinquishing power after two terms. "Wow no one has done that before! So progressive!" But he was a property owner, in a country where only property owners could vote, and he knew that only property owners would hold any elected positions in the US government. He knew that the political interests of landowners would take precedence over all others, so why would he care who ran the country? This is the situation with our Congress. Nothing can pass without a supermajority in the Senate, requiring hyper partisan Republicans to give Democrats a win, which they will not do.
I tend to frame it as the secret sauce is 99% of the solution, and the platform/API-interaction is trivial, as the term is used in science.
As an LGBT person who grew up in a religious family in the south, I think this ruling is fine.

We have a right to choose who we work for. If an evangelical doesn't want to do wedding services for LGBT folks, realize that the street goes both ways.

Would you want to design something for a conservative that wants a God, hunting, and football themed wedding cake? What if, perhaps as a joke or perhaps in serious earnestness, they put Ephesians 5:22-33 on their registry?

If you did web design consultancy, would you take on a Republican political candidate as a client? What if their website espouses gun rights and is anti-abortion?
How long do you figure until youtube premium also starts showing ads, just promising fewer than the free edition?

Because other services have done that model change too.

Another possibility is google could kill gmail accounts from youtube ad blockers someday, who is going to stop them?

Why do you think a phone call (with implied privacy and the legal framework to back it up) is the same as a company providing you public presence under their brand name, and advertising revenue?
I have both an XBOX Series X and a PlayStation 5.

Maybe I am too old, but I hardly feel any differene.

I am not saying it is not there, I am saying I cannot feel it.

The only difference is in the triggers, where you have to press more or less on the PS5.
Yeah, I think the title here was editorialized. TLA's title is "YouTube removed video of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for violating vaccine misinformation policy", whereas the HN title is "YouTube Removes R.F. Kennedy Presidential Candidate Interview", which makes it sounds like YouTube removed official campaign materials.

We could give YouTube the same rights that we give other common carriers, but I suspect the antitrust exemptions may make people unhappy. We would gain the ability to force them to be non-discriminatory, though.
Thank you. I hope we're both around to do that.
This effect is not uncommon with respect to powerful psychedelics but it does have a mechanistic neurological explanation which in turn helps explain the psychological (or spiritual if you like) knock-on effects. It's really the same kind of thing underlying optical illusions, such as the dancing grid dots illusion:

https://mathworld.wolfram.com/ScintillatingGridIllusion.html

Fundamentally your brain is interpreting signals coming in from your optic nerves at all times so you're not really 'directly experiencing reality', you're interpreting and processing a stream of data and constructing a map of reality from that data. This is usually all done unconsciously, but what psychedelics do at a mechanistic level is interfere with the neuronal processing of that data. You might get a crossover of memories feeding into the visual stream at some level of processing, hence 'seeing visions', or the sound channel might get mixed with the visual channel ('seeing sounnds and hearing colors').

It's not too surprising that this can have profound effects on people's psychology if they were not expecting or aware of this underlying mechanism. It's a concept in philosophy, as well, I believe it's called 'radical skepticism' or some such, the belief that nothing is real, and is in the same category as the simulation hypothesis, i.e. the belief we are in a Matrix VR world. This could plausibly lead to dissociation from normal goal-oriented behavior and result in full blown mental illness in extreme cases.

Personally, I don't really see the difference between 'base reality' and 'perfect simulation' if there's no scientific method to distinguish between the two. If a flaming angel (or UFO) appears in the sky above me, I'll still try to collect its electomagnetic spectrum. Similarly, most people can recognize when they're under the influence of a drug and when they're completely sober - at least, with experience. A first-time user could definitely get these two confused, with dangerous consequences, hence all the warnings about set and setting, trip-sitters, etc.

Regardless, those with a fragile grasp on reality or who are lacking a solid psychological core self-identity should definitely think twice about taking powerful psychedelics.
Derelization feels like the world isn't real , there doesn't seem like there is a connection between you and the person you are talking to or the world , to me it wasn't scary , if fact it was very interesting, I've had it for a total of 3 months only.

depersonalization is hell this time if feel like you arnt real , the effects of depersonalization includes the following . 1.Visual disturbances : everything feels like low fps and blurry . 2. Spatial disturbance : it feels like you are controlling your body like a robot 3. Physical sensation : touching your body feels weird as if it didn't feel like it used to , the sensations and even the size of your limps when you grab it feels different. Even looking at your self in the mirror feels like looking at another person

What helped was a short guide online how to get out of it . First is to accept it second is to understand that this is purely a response to stress , it's a way the mind helps to protect you , stay calm and you will get out of it .
You really think anyone who isn't already sucking up to him cares what Vlad is saying? The US could probably do anything in Russia right now short of using a dirty bomb (and even then, as long as there are no US markings ..) and nothing would change.
My main complaint with the PS5 controller is that it's a terrible remote control for streaming services. The triggers are constantly being activated just by setting it down on its back and if it falls on its front the sicks move causing video to fast forward or rewind. It seems to fall off the arms of chairs and couches easily too. When you're holding it like a controller though it's fine.

My minor complaint is that it came with two internal microphones, but thankfully it's very easy to open the controller up and rip them out.
Asking for proof of vaccination was common here in Portland, toward the NR of the epidemic, when restaurants and venues were opening back up.
That dose/setting was the trigger here is pure speculation.

Really, we should just leave it at: "sometimes, for unknown reasons, these drugs can fuck you up for years".
There's a pretty clear dividing line that says neutrality of communication does not extend beyond physical infrastructure. He cannot be denied access to phone lines or internet fiber, but any service running on them is free to set their own TOS and enforce them. In fact, internet really isn't free at all since Trump rolled back net neutrality. No more than he's allowed to walk onto the set of a news broadcast and interrupt the anchors.
What we're seeing now is a frantic attempt by companies to ram "AI" into everything. Some force (Wall Street?) is expecting companies to say "We're using AI." What do you need it for? "We don't know, but damn we've got to use it for something!"

A few years ago, few were talking about AI. Today, if it's not somehow crammed into your product roadmap, you might as well start looking for another job.
I believe the GP is saying that in their language, they're getting advertisements for over-the-counter cancer "treatments".

Sure, if everyone is smart, well-educated, rational, and has access to affordable licensed doctors, there isn't much harm in such garbage advertising. However, the problem is that these advertisements are being displayed to people who live in the real world.
But then what do we do with all these tar and feathers?
For trading systems that are still software based they absolutely do not allocate or reclaim on the hot path for this reason.
Yes, it almost makes one think that the post revolutionary French state is only really good at one thing.
> what else do you need to see to believe? (geniune question)

It's not that I don't believe in LLMs.

It's that the level of media attention AI is getting isn't backed by the same level of real world use cases, yet. (All of the use cases you listed are awesome, no denying that, but I don't think those alone justify the amount of hype in mainstream media)

A small long-term increase in cancer risk is really hard to notice.

And lots of cultivated plants have downsides.

> By the same logic, there would be no a priori difference in risk profile between vegetables and random research chemicals.

No, that's a strawman. Nobody is suggesting that "random research chemicals" should be considered safe. And extracting random chemicals out of plants would also be dangerous!

I have to admit that the irony of posting that sort of thing on a communications medium where all posts are monitored and some are blocked is always amusing to me.
Again, I do tend to agree that there is a lot more "there" there with generative AI. But I think it's also true that it's too early to be sure.

You're comparing the two technologies at totally different points in their hype cycles. The comparison point to where AI is right now is to Bitcoin / very early Ethereum in the late 2000s to early 2010s. Nobody knew where it was all going, some people saw endless potential, other people saw nonsense and scams. The explosion of bitcoin into mainstream consciousness in the early 2010s is akin to the explosion of ChatGPT over the past 6 to 9 months.

But what's next? That's what matters. The early 2010s bitcoin boom now pretty clearly looks like a fad, in hindsight. Was ChatGPT also mostly a fad, or is it going to be a lasting fixture of productivity and/or entertainment moving forward? I think it's the latter - it has already changed my habits at work in ways that I think will be permanent - but I just think it's too early to say for sure.

(And to be clear, I'm not talking about machine learning as an academic discipline; I totally agree with you that there is definitely enough evidence to say there is a lot more "there" there than research into chained hashing to solve double-spend-like problems.)
also having worked in the space: HFT should not exist. Break up the day into segments and have a single crossing. Do it every five minutes or whatever for sufficient timeliness. the millisecond race does not make anything better for anybody except the people doing the trading.

Their business model allowed for greater ease to actually download and run unregistered/unlicensed copies, but higher costs with per-core licensing and clauses which required (i.e.) the per-core licensed OS plus the per-core licensed database if you wanted to use the latter.
It was both easier to run for free and way more expensive to run in legal compliance.
I don't think it's an either or thing. Both situations are bad. We should both hold Trump accountable AND push against corruptions by all politicians. If Hunter Biden was influence peddling (no idea if he was)...that's a problem too and so is whatever I assume Jared and Ivanka were doing for 4 years (e.g. the $2B Jared reportedly got from Saudi Arabia).

I do agree that some of the culture war is likely manufactured to prevent a concentrated movement against a system that overly caters to the ultra wealthy.
well it is objectively outdated based on the different tech and capabilities.

now as to if these are something you want or need is another question.
His stance on vaccines is absolutely wild. He thinks that a majority of modern diseases were directly caused by vaccine research including HIV, Lyme and going all the way back to the Spanish Flu.

> Yet, we're kind of okay with not hearing back from a company.

I am perfectly fine with that. I keep applying until I actually have a job, so telling me that I did not get a job doesn't do much for me other than clutter my inbox.

The people who think they are being respectful by trying to schedule a time to talk with me to tell me that I did not get a job are really just wasting my time. I gain nothing from that interaction at all and had to allocate a block of time to it.
AI engineer is a hype term for someone that can incorporate LLM to solve an engineering problem. It isn’t that hard to use OpenAI apis, LLM are like super abstractions. You tell it in natural language, as opposed to a specific programming language. It’s still a very narrow field. The hype is real but it’s getting a bit frothy

My SO's senses are focused on the sense of smell and she swears that increased tick activity in an area is associated with a distinct smell - she picked-up so many ticks during childhood that it's a miracle that she didn't get Lyme disease so I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt in this case.

In light of this research it's possible that the smell in question is that of dry foliage/soil.
There's two ways to increase business income, extract more $$$ from a captured user base or create value to attract revenue. One is a sign of a healthy company looking at future growth, the other the sign of a zombie company that has to put a tighter squeeze on you quarter after quarter to keep their numbers up. The people making purchasing/vendor decisions take into consideration the risk of going with a 'zombie' company, so those that do pay are also likely to consider moving away as well.
kitsch bent makes a very good (injection molded, i believe) clone of the whole assembly. the controllers i did a few years ago actually only needed the bowl replaced. with a bit of silicone lubricant dabbed onto the places where plastic grinds together, they feel practically new again.

worlds apart from those awful gamecube style sticks that make playing quite a few games impossible.

Excerpt from his site:

"Tech Trader is a fully autonomous trading system live with no human intervention or updates, now for over 10 years. It is unique from conventional algorithmic systems, not only because it actually is fully automated, but because it takes a "human" approach to markets. It is not quant. It is not stat-arb. It is not high frequency. It is a program that looks at stocks the same way a person does but with the cold discipline and infinite attention span of a machine. It is analogous to having a thousand independent traders each focusing on a single stock, as opposed to a single quant manager trying to make sense of a thousand datapoints. A person doesn't think through stats, correlations, or complex math models when trading, and neither does Tech Trader. Tech Trader leverages technology to do what human traders do at scale rather than approach markets from the point of view of an academic, mathematician, or scientist.

Since its launch in Dec 2012, Tech Trader has been trading live capital completely on its own, fully automated in the truest sense with no human input, no tweaking, no updates. It is, for all intents and purposes, an autonomous hedge fund, one of the first to truly trade unsupervised for years on end. Whereas many "automated" or "AI" funds may have a hundred scientists providing the actual intelligence behind the curtain, the creator of Tech Trader consists of just one person - a self-taught individual going by the gaming moniker pftq, who created the system at age 21 and has long moved on to other interests. "

Fraudsters will do what fraudsters do. If it wasn’t crypto it would be scamming retirees or hoarding PS5s. They’re a largely insignificant part of the economy. At a macro scale private capital has a much larger impact.

The issue is there’s a lot of dumb VC money floating around looking for a quick billion instead of investing long term fundamental research (boring!) that may produce results later on. It’s a fundamental issue with the economy because what Capital wants is not to do what’s best for humanity or even to build a sustainable widget factory. Capital wants a money printer. It’s a big inefficiency in the economy because ideally they’d prefer sustainable growth instead of 1000x unicorns.
This could end up going very dangerously for the planet depending on how these AIs are set up with their incentives. If the neoconservatives who run the world set up these models to their own benefit, we are probably going to be doomed with a dead planet in a few centuries. Imagine if they were set up to go for profitability above all else as a capitalist would expect. The planet would be destroyed before long. Newly identified resources will be squandered as quickly as possible for short term gains realized in a single investors lifetime, over considering long term health of the planet which likely means not prioritizing quarterly profits and leaving behind some fruit on the tree so to speak. An AI might be used to more easily make what would be coldhearted or uncomfortable decisions for a person, like deciding what communities are the most profitable to invest in versus considering which might require the most need (which probably means sacrificing profitability to pay more costs).

However, if the AIs were set up to incentivize collective good over short term profit taking for well leveraged individuals, then this could be a revolution in terms of work/leisure time for the masses, akin to what past philosophers must have expected from us in a future with more available resources and a lessened need for labor.
So why do fountain drinks also cost $1.50? Fountain drinks are shipped as concentrated syrup in boxes, costing much less to store and ship.
Sometimes freedom of speech and the democratic process has to be prioritized over private platform policies. There are large nations where all large mass media networks are forced to allow every candidate and party a certain amount of election propaganda on their airwaves, maybe that's an idea to stop this abuse by YouTube and other networks?

Do good products fail to take off on their own because advertising is an absolute necessity, or is it because advertising allows bad products to saturate the market so thoroughly? In a hypothetical world without advertising, would it still be true that good products couldn't take off on their own merits? Or would they spread effectively by word of mouth in the absence of the noise generated by the advertising industry?

I don't have an answer to this question, it's purely hypothetical. And even if it is true that in this hypothetical world, good products would spread, we're still left with a prisoner's dilemma to resolve in the real world.
Yup. How much do the politicians who created intellectual property care about YOUR finances?

So are you admitting that the decision we're talking about here is a good one, and just lamenting that it isn't applied in certain other cases? Which are the cases where you believe it should have been applied?

Or are you saying that the Major Questions doctrine is bad, and that so long as some addled brain can come up with the slightest chain of rationale to something in an otherwise-unrelated law, we should always open the floodgates? Because if legislating leads to such danger of misinterpretation, then I think we should all be praying for a whole lot more gridlock so that the Executive (whatever party he/she may be from) gets less rationale to do whatever the heck they want.
