>I'm trying to question the core assertion you made, that the US federal relationship is not comparable to the EU's relationship to it's member "states"

Honestly that's a weird thing to challenge. There's a long list of differences which you can easily discover by googling. Also, "everything should work the same as it works in the US" is not an argument. Even if the EU were analogous to the US Federal Government, then that could just as well argue that the US ought to follow the same rules on taxation as the EU rather than vice versa.

>Yes one is a federation and one is a confederacy, but what about that relationship makes it relevant to taxation?

How about the fact that the EU doesn't have the power to collect taxes? (There's the special 'tax' paid by EU employees, but citizens of EU countries don't pay taxes to the EU, and the EU has no powers to levy such taxes.)

>Why is it unreasonable for a country that hosts lots of EU institution to receive any tax income from that activity?

It's not inherently unreasonable, it just has a tendency to lead to conflicts of interest and conflicts between member states. One thing to bear in mind is that member states within the EU have much greater powers (as full nation states) than 'states' within the US system, so it's important to avoid this kind of thing. The EU can't just whip member states into line the way that the US Federal Government can usually force a state to do whatever it wants.

There's a more thorough explanation in the comment I linked earlier: https://politics.stackexchange.com/a/4968
The apparent low price is caused by advertising and word of mouth. Everyone knows that Ryanair sells €10 tickets from A to B, see? And Ryanair really does, a few seats per plane.

The average actual price is the average of the total price paid, which is not just the first few seats per plane, and which also includes all those taxes and extras.

If people make travel decisions before buying the tickets (as they're almost forced to), then some/many of them will base the decision of how to travel on the word-of-mouth price they've already heard rather than on the price they'll see at the end of the purchase process.
I think regulation (as in "PG&E is regulated by some federal agency") is the red herring. Firstly other utilities have by comparison outrageous specific territorial limits, making them clearly subject to one governments regulatory efforts. Facebook has spent years crying out again and agains saying "tell us what the fucking regulations are and we will code them". No one can answer of course because a) we as a society have not worked out what this all means, b) even if we did we would not get all the governments to agree c) even if they did can you imagine one multi-national regulator with powers over facebook, google, apple ?

A you own house is both an asset and a place to live. If your accounting models cannot handle that concept then you need to update them. Accounting 101 probably can't as it is complex and tricky, but more advanced models can. Now because you have to live someplace a house is not an asset you can just go and trade for whatever, but it is still an asset.
Yeah, exactly. There's no 1A territory here. The idea that a commercial business cannot be regulated and compelled by a State to produce a mere reporting of its relevant business activities is completely bonkers.
There is no paid-internet without ads -- so it's not that people prefer free we don't really have a group to test against. Maybe it's like the choice between water and no-water -- results show that humans like water.

But choices like: free water with punch-in-the-face VS paid water without punching would be better indicators of choice.

When there are few/no options then choice is an illusion.
Maybe he doesn’t care if people stop reading and he’d prefer to use the language he’s most comfortable with? It’s his blog after all, not yours.

Additionally, perhaps he’s making the point that a language with an expressive type system makes solving problems like this trivial.
The code is a relatively small part of the article, and quite far into it I might add.
I'd be interested in seeing that as well. The only thing I can think of that is similar is the interactive Apollo 11 in Real Time:

Should power companies be allowed to disconnect power (i.e. moderate) to entities that disagree with their ideals?

I'm not necessarily arguing X/Twitter is in the same league as a power company but this line of thought has many precedents.
Why are women turning to TikTok for advice about the pill?
No, that isn’t true. If you do substantial original work and employ AI that is different than if the entire work is the output of AI. Nobody is saying using AI for any one part taints what is otherwise a substantially original work.
Well the Llama.cpp running on CPUs with decent speed and fast development improvements, hints towards CPUs. And there the size of the model is less important as the RAM is the limit. At least for interference this is now a viable alternative.
I don't think so. The person he tried shifting blame on was black, and this was one of the landmark cases in America of a black person winning in court over a white one. The KKK hates both groups of course but not equally.

I don't find it hard to believe because of the dishonesty I've seen from ADL and Zionists in trying to distort the truth, and the disingenious way they respond to those they disagree with. For example, conflating all criticism of the state of Israel with anti-Semitism and an attack on Jews when that state, like every other country, has many faults to criticise it for.
As a grad student at MIT in the mid 90s, I took my elderly Toyota to Ray's garage to get worked on several times. I was amazed to find out that often as not Ray would be the one working on my car. He was as funny in person as on the show and was talented at figuring out the least expensive way to get the old blue thing back on the road (I think he remembered what it was like to be a grad student financially speaking :).

Really appreciated that he was still providing that service. When I graduated, I celebrated by getting the Blue Plate special done - where they went over the vehicle and enumerated all the work you needed done, ought to get done, and could do if you really wanted to. The only mechanics I've ever really trusted to go on that sort of fishing expedition...

>People have been predicting companies like Intel and AMD overtaking Nvidia for a very long time now, and it's never panned out.

And I have been saying "drivers" for 10+ years. Anyone who has been through 3Dfx Voodoo, S3, Matrox, ATI, PowerVR era should have known this but somehow dont. And yet it keeps coming up. I still remember an Intel Engineer once said to me they will be competitive by no later than 2020 / 2021. We are now in 2023, and Intel's discrete GPU market share is still a single digit rounding error. To give some additional context Raja Koduri joined Intel in early 2018. And Intel has been working on Discrete Graphics GPU budding on top of their IGP asset since 2015 / 2016.
Considering this same failure has happened a few times in recent memory maybe its over optimistic of me to expect an entry on the support wiki or something.
Yeah no. We didn't choose this war; I'm banging no drum. Thanks for the baseless character assassination. You may want to read this sites terms of service, if they matter so much.

This is simply a billionaire taking international issues into their own hands, in favor of their preferred foreign government.

Treating with a foreign government as a civilian (not a member of the State department) is actually treasonable. Go read your law again.

How could this be detected and enforced though? Rely on self-reporting?

Let's say we outlaw surveillance tools (e.g. customer data platforms). Wouldn't this give an advantage to the big tech since they can covertly roll their own?
There are fairly few bright-line tests, because they're hard to write.

For instance, consider your proposed test: The copyrightability of works would change retroactively depending on the capabilities of AI. Something that can't be reproduced by AI today could be next year. Is that a desirable outcome?
So let's think this through: you have 10 1EB tape drivers in a RAID0. Each drive has a max throughput of 100GB/sec, so the array has a max throughput of 1TB/sec. Congratulations, now you can write 1EB of data to your array in 1.2 days!

But what about the other 9 Exabytes? Yeah, it will still take another 114.5 days to even touch that; and that's assuming "GB/s class speeds" means 100GB/s, and not less.

You may as well just get 10 100PB disks. There is no point getting extra storage that you will never have time to write to.
>I think it's actually pretty damn easy to define "enough" precisely. If the AI + human generated image cannot be easily recreated by AI, than it's enough.

That's a terrible test, because the capabilities of LLMs are constantly evolving. And the words "easily" and "recreate" just creates more ambiguity.
I see, thanks, so the EU is basically trying to stop the marketing tactic. That makes sense, though it's not about stopping "cheap flights" then (I haven't seen a 10 € ticket with Ryan in years).
Ok - I'm going to pick on you since you responded with this first:

Here's my argument:

1. Copyright in some sense is probably a net win for society.

2. Copyright in it's current legal form in the US is - fucking unquestionably - abusive.

7 years with a 7 year renewal after review? Probably ok, feels long in today's digital age.

To the author's death? oof, that's a long time to protect works, but maybe I guess, in some specific fields of work.

To the author's death PLUS 70 fucking years? Get the fuck out of here. Literally - who the fuck other than giant corporations is POSSIBLY benefiting from this? This is a fucking insane level of protection, and is outrageously harmful to generating new content (Just take a peak at all the fucking remakes that constitute our new films, and the miserable content licensing restrictions that pop up everywhere and kill so many new things)

---

So my stance is firmly: Yep, they probably are taking some of your work. But also: Your work is also grounded in the work of others (again - fucking unquestionably). Further - the copyright system at large is SO fucking harmful that I don't really think it should exist anymore (side note: I'm really underplaying my feelings here, "nuke it from orbit" is probably still an understatement... "I'd like to see it suffer before it dies" is probably close).

So... if you want to talk about bulk exploitation - go fucking yell at the current media companies, because holy fuck are they the worst fucking companies in the world to make this claim. They are leeches.

If you want me to step to your side: CURB THE FUCKING ABUSE.

Otherwise... you are the shitty cab company and the LLM is uber: Are they ethical? Eh - Nope. Are they unquestionable better for most people? Yes.
Will I take a useful and unethical company over a stagnating and unethical company? Yes, yes I will. Would I prefer real governmental action to either of those? 100%.

Toy solutions deal with small data inputs. How many lines of that 20k is just optimizing for large inputs (you can’t have long repeating sections in small inputs).

Agreed, and to be honest, this extension is more for myself as I would be extremely skeptical if someone else made it especially with the permissions it requires.

It would probably be more successful as a feature added to an existing trusted extension such as Temporary Containers.
I'm surprised Google licensed a software Cast receiver! I wish more devices could be a Cast receiver. It seems like such a huge downgrade versus Miracast that only specific appliances could receive.

I wish the Open Screen Protocol was more active. Google kind of promised with secondary screen protocols they'd help make a open protocol for the web, and they got so far, but activity has really faded so hard on this crucial effort.
I'm making the stronger claim that fine-tuned BERT is almost always better than ICL GPT4. That is, you beat ICL GPT4 with a model of less than 1b parameters. These are the results in the literature.

Fine-tuning GPT3 is actually a strange middle-ground: you're constrained to solve the tasks via prompting, rather than attaching output layers and doing gradient descent over a loss function that directly matches the task. So fine-tuning LLMs for these classification tasks is indeed often worse than just using the larger model.

The other thing is, as you scale up the model the ratio of output weights to the whole model weights gets quite out of balance. This introduces some technical challenges, and so it's kind of tough to make it all work with medium size LLMs of around 7b parameters or so. In contrast the process of fine-tuning BERT-sized stuff is really well explored, and it's easy to find more or less push-button solutions.
OK, thank you for the correction! I'll read it and learn more.
I agree that social anxiety and introversion often get conflated. Another component of introversion I have found for myself seems to be physiological. I have always considered myself fairly introverted and have also had a fair amount of social anxiety. In my younger years I largely isolated myself for large periods of time. At one point I started taking a vitamin B supplement to attempt to treat some RSI nerve issues. It didn't seem to impact what I was trying to treat, but I began to crave social interaction which was challenging for me because nothing in my life was structured to provide me with social interaction and I still had enough social anxiety that I did not even consider seeking out interaction more directly (like going to a bar and chatting with people). The craving of social interaction went away after I stopped taking the vitamin B supplement. I experimented on and off with the vitamin B, but it eventually led to me having severe insomnia when taking it so I had to stop. I have noticed a similar but milder response to supplementing vitamin D (both feeling more social as well as insomnia).

Nvidia have great hardware. If anyone can beat them, fine, but this seems unlikely. Groq looks cool though (thanks to the one that linked to their video). I'm wondering if the entry-level chips can really ever compete though, since LLMs need a certain amount of VRAM. Will the price of VRAM really ever fall substantially enough so that anyone could run their own LLM locally?
And your statement here is part of the problem.

Too many doctors are quick to look at a person and their lifestyle and just say "welp, get outside, get more active, lose some weight, get some sun"

There are cases where supplements or medication are completely valid.

How many (primarily women, but some men), have hypothyrodism. I know of at least 3 other women in my life who, instead of the doctor listening to their symptoms, just kept recommending "eat better, exercise more, lose weight".

No. There was a serious problem. And a problem which literally makes those three things almost impossible. And can be detected with a simple blood draw.

One of my friends finally went to an urgent care, they did the test, prescribed levo with a "follow up with her doctor", and the doctor wouldn't renew the prescription because she was just "inactive and retaining water". Of course at this point she switched doctors to one that wasn't a misogynist.

Same thing with vitamin D. If you live above 37 degrees of latitude, chances are you are taking vitamin D most of the year because "sun on your skin" just ain't happening.
Is there any registrars that don't have free private whois?
About a dozen years ago, folks estimated that G made about $100M/day from AdWords. That number has probably kept pace with inflation, but even if it hasn’t, they’re committing at most about a fifth of day’s income, per year, or 1/1500th of their annual income.

I, too, would like to receive good press for donating less than 0.06% of my income! Tithing comes to mind.

If they wanted to put any force and meaning behind those words, they’d just hire Gebru on as a consultant and then I wouldn’t even care about whether they were buying friendly research articles at $2M each.
In particular, the Zauderer test allows the state to compel commercial speech if doing so is "reasonably related to the State's interest in preventing deception of customers[1]." It's obviously up for debate, but I think one could make a strong argument that Twitter's content policies pass this test.

(More generally, however: there's lots of compelled commercial speech that doesn't fit into this flowchart. Taxes, commercial permits, leases, etc. I think one could make a strong argument that this law is strictly logistical in nature and represents no more of a 1A risk than Twitter's commercial leases do.)

I'm more interested in his qualifications in legal analysis to come to his conclusion that Musk's challenge is strong, and frankly, I don't really think his opinions on Musk have a strong bearing there. Especially given the fact that I don't think there is a reasonable legal basis to say the challenge is strong. So him being against Musk has gotten me nowhere in this.
What kind of GC do you talk about here? (RC is also a GC algorithm, but you seem to mix some of its shortcomings with that of trading GCs).

1) this is generally true, but many part of this can be done concurrently, and if we want to improve latency at the cost of some throughput than there are low-lat GCs that maximize the pause times (it is basically independent from the heap size), so in practice you have similar interrupts as you would from the OS alone.

2) this is not a problem with tracing GCs, only with refcounting (most well known is Python, ObjC and Swift for this perhaps). You can still leak memory everywhere by e.g. storing them in a huge list forever, though, but that is a much rarer and easy to debug bug.

3) this is again only true for RC, and it is the reason why it is slower than tracing GCs, especially when it is multithreaded and the increment/decrement has to be an atomic operation.
What are the main differences?

I don't see a difference between drawing something with paint and brushes vs prompting a model for the desired output (624 times, no less).

Sure the latter requires less labor and a very different skill, but it's still a creative act.

> You might dismiss that there is any inherent risk to total strangers knowing intimate details about you, but I personally think the risk of this is a "specific harm".

It would be interesting to discuss the merits of this idea. Call center employees are often heavily restricted in their access to user data for the precise reason that specific harms -- stalking, fraud, etc. -- actually occur.
A very big reason that few corporations or outlets discuss is commercial real estate. A lot of these businesses likely have deals with the city where they agreed to let them build a fancy new building, in exchange for a larger tax base that commutes to the area, buys lunch, whatever.

Furthermore, buildings are more valuable when they're used.

The best rule of thumb is buying or renting will turn out about the same in the long run if you invest the difference saved by renting. Buy buying your up front payments are higher than renting, but you pay the house off and long term pay less and thus need less to live on. Renting you have more free cash up front, but you need more cash in the long run.

The above is the rule of thumb though. You have to run numbers for your life situation as they constantly change. Note that some of the numbers are for your life situation which itself can change. Renting is often better just if you buy and have to move there is a bunch of negatives.
I appreciated the Haskell examples, they aren't particularly hard to follow. How do you think those more popular languages got more popular?
I'd argue in favor of at least an annual review process. Have a dedicated "feature freeze, emergencies only" period where you evaluate your existing data structures and queue up any necessary work. The only real hang up here is one of bad management.

In terms of how, it's really just a question of Schema A to Schema B mapping. Have a small team responsible for collection/organization of all the possible schemas and then another small team responsible for writing the mapping functions to transition existing data.

It would require will/force. Ideally, too, jobs of those responsible would be dependent on completion of the task so you couldn't just kick the can. You either do it and do it correctly or you're shopping your resume around.
"Slippery slope" and "ad hominem" are the names of fallacies. A fallacy is a defective step in logical reasoning.

Hearers shouldn't be persuaded by fallacies; they're deployed in persuasive speech because (a) many people aren't familiar with logic, and find them persuasive, or (b) because the speaker isn't familiar with logic, or (c) because the speaker is out of logical arguments, but is still determined to win the argument.

Or some combination of the three.
