What “specific family of ideologies”?

What “specific narrative”?

If it is so specific, surely you could say what it is…

In the case of a board member of OpenAI running a separate chatbot company, it would be important to consider these factors. The specifics of the situation, including the nature of both companies, the level of competition between them, and the actions taken by the board member and OpenAI to manage potential conflicts, would all play a role in determining if there is a conflict of interest.

Definitely conflict of interest here and D'Angelo actions on openai board smell of the same. He wouldn't want openai to thrive more than his company. It's direct conflict of interest.
Ah yes, famously measured scholar, "LibsofTikTok" weighing in on whether someone claiming Jews are importing "hordes of minorities" due to their "hatred of whites" is antisemtic or not. Meanwhile, antisemitic mass murders used the same rationale to justify their actions and tons of white supremacists celebrated Elon's comments. Very normal.
Yeah, no. You can say a lot of things about Ken White, but saying that he conflates the 1st Amendment and Free Speech is one thing he does not do.

There's a ton of evidence out there where he is very specific about the differences between the 1st amendment and free speech.

You'd need a Beowulf Cluster of Apple //e's to run an Electron app in 1983!
If we're talking about the Apple ecosystem, you don't need to start a hotspot.

When you have an iPhone and MacBook nearby that are on the same Apple ID, the Mac shows a little notification "Connect to the Internet through <phone name>?" with the default button being OK, which instructs the phone to turn on the hotspot and the Mac to connect to it.

The phone also just shows up as another Wi-Fi network in the Wi-Fi menu alongside all the other networks, even if hotspot isn't on, using the same mechanism of letting the Mac remotely configure the hotspot.
There are plenty of inscrutable installers for macOS software. DRM-riddled bullshit and enterprise crapware are a disease.

> ”I kinda wish my EV would just set the apparent 0% and 100% points at a level that guaranteed X cycles, where X corresponds to perhaps 200K miles.”

They already do! In most EVs, 0% is not really zero: you can typically drive another 20-40 miles before it finally dies.

Most EVs will easily have a battery life of 200K miles, with some capacity degradation. Active battery management such as limiting the max charge is more about preserving the battery life beyond this, and reducing degradation.

And all of this becomes less necessary with LFP battery chemistry, which is leas fussy about charge levels and less susceptible to degradation.
Formally, the phrase "encode more or less of the program logic as data" seems meaningless, as you cannot implement a Turing machine with static symbols alone. I feel the quoted phrase is intended to capture the idea that a suitable representation of the data can simplify the processing, but that is what is behind the point I am making.

For example, in the case of an expert system, the data provides the specific facts of the domain and the logic is implemented by the program. In choosing to use an existing expert system engine, you have made a decision about how your system will go about achieving your goals, and that places significant constraints on how you should represent your data.
Gene therapies are being priced according to the annual costs of treatments they replace, not the cost of producing the gene therapy product or the value of the cure to the patients.

For example, Hemgenix is a gene therapy for hemophilia. It is a single-dose product priced at $3.5 million [1]. It's not CRISPR-based, so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison with the sickle-cell treatment discussed in the article. But I know from officials at the World Federation of Hemophilia that the direct costs of production and administration for Hemgenix are around $50,000. That's two orders of magnitude less than the list price.

The $3.5 million figure was likely arrived at because the existing products for hemophilia cost north of 350k annually, and Hemgenix is estimated to replace them for 8+ years.

> To me, it feels like chasing opinion and public sentiment - not following rigid, established legal patterns.

The sentiment is an integral part of the established legal pattern - the Howey test is about "expectation of profit".

Even if based purely on vibes, I think the man on the Clapham omnibus might well say: someone buying Bitcoin today, or Ethereum in 2018, is not expecting to profit from the efforts of their respective dev team, whereas someone buying Ethereum today is expecting to profit from the efforts of their dev team. (I mean, I didn't even know Bitcoin still had a dev team - isn't it basically "finished" at this point, and has been for years?)

And given the present turmoil they aren’t likely to remain in the position very long. Unless there are significant financial inducements, that vest without any tenure requirements, it’s hard to see an upside.
Stablecoins are supposed to be stable, and not rise or fall. There is no expectation of profit for a stablecoin like USDC. And USDC doesn't pay interest. People use it for stability and for payments.
There is a growing trend for amphora/qvevri/ceramic aged wines. Would be interesting to compare. Also wines at least partially aged in concrete tanks.

Many cheap wines are in fact oaked to hell, usually in the form of chips, extracts, etc. because the oak flavour can mask faults or give character to mediocre wines. I use oak shavings in my wine (from grapes from my vineyard) because barrels are a pain to work with.

(People also don't realize how much of the wine sold in stores at even medium price tiers is flavoured and homogenized with the addition of concentrates and other additions. One of the big ones is "MegaPurple(tm)", a colouring and flavouring agent made from Rubired grapes, that is responsible for a lot of the jammy fruity "new world" flavours that people seem to think is representative of "Aussie Shiraz" or "Ripe Zinfandel" or whatever their preference is. It's really just a concentrated grape extract. And extremely popular, and doesn't need to be labelled on the wine because it's made from grapes. It's one way producers can get consistent product year over year.)

There’s lots of conflicts of interests beyond Adam and his Poe AI. Yes, he was building a commerical bot using OpenAI APIs, but Sam was apparently working on other side ventures too.

This has been discussed even on HN; a quick search would have answered your question. Just because your community can afford it doesn't mean everybody can:

In 2021, 15% had access only through mobile devices (no wifi): https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/fact-shee...

> More than 83% of people in the U.S. access the internet on their smartphones, tablets, or other mobile devices. And these devices are the only means of internet connection for 15% of Americans. In general, because mobile access and wireline connections offer different speeds and functionality, consumers tend to view the two types of service as complementary and subscribe to both if they have the means.

A govt report (based on older data) points out that 20% of households have no household connectivity, and while various reasons are given ("don't need it" "can't afford it") the unconnected households tend to be the poorest, suggesting cost is a barrier: https://www.ntia.gov/blog/2022/switched-why-are-one-five-us-...

> Musk is also a fan of the theory that when he speaks, your criticism of him violates his rights

I hate to use such trite debate bro topics, but isn't this a motte and bailey fallacy [1]? The motte is "we're just criticising Musk" while the bailey is "we're systematically contacting all of his advertisers and letting them know that if they continue to support him then we will campaign against them as well".

The whole point of cancel culture isn't to state your objections/criticisms of ideas, it is to attack the support systems of individuals. Like, calling their employer en masse and demanding that they are fired. Or pushing their bank, their ISP, etc. to remove their ability to conduct any kind of business. Or to mass-report their social media to get them deplatformed.

To phrase this as "we're just trying to criticize, why is he so mad and why does he want to silence our criticism" is a pretty manipulative take. Even to say "if advertisers want to leave they can" is a misrepresentation - advertisers are being extorted to leave, they are doing so under some pretty extreme duress.

The cost to replace the battery on iPhones, which most people would consider to be “difficult to replace” is only $100 directly from Apple. Really seems like paying an extra $100 every 2-3 years is a decent deal for something that has 20% more battery.

Unfortunately, Musk filed the suit in a state which has a worse anti-SLAPP law, which makes it harder for him to be forced to pay to defend free speech. Although Media Matters might have a good shot at effecting a change-of-venue by arguing that it should be brought in CA (where eX-Twitter is headquartered) or DC (where Media Matters is located).

Scrolling to causes of action:

> Interference With Contract

Lolnope. How did Media Matters interfere with advertisers' contracts? As I understand it, the advertisers willingly pulled their advertising (which I assume the contracts give them the right to do so). There's no allegation that it was specifically the MM report that caused them to pull the advertising either, so even if you want to view a willful termination of contract as interference, you haven't even plead enough to get there.

> Business Disparagement

Again, lolnope. You concede that the facts are true--you did in fact serve up the ads next to misleading content, and you admit that. Perhaps they are misleading, but when you're trying to argue that "they only demonstrated 5 ad views, so it doesn't count," my sympathy is not with you. And misleading usually isn't enough to get you to disparagement anyways.

> Interference with Prospective Economic Advantage

Hey, here's a claim that actually makes legal sense. But see last bullet point, this isn't going to hold any water.

For someone who claims to be pro-speech, he really seems to not be in favor of speech about him.
There you go again, shoehorning in your carefully constructed talking points, without actually addressing any of the topics of the conversation.

> So I just leave them plugged in

Isn't that exactly why you want a device that can self-limit? It doesn't need to lie.
> Is it still a problem for the advertiser?

Yes, because it's being shown in association with the bad content. That was in your first sentence.

>It's at least not a public perception problem anymore, more of an edge case of "do I want to encourage antisemites to shop at Target" kind of thing.

That's a different thing. Twitter isn't selling antisemite-targeted ads to Target... that's the whole point. Twitter likely agreed with Target to not show its ads in relation to negative content like that. If that negative content is all that you see when you go on twitter, and twitter is still serving you ads, then they are serving their advertisers content in association with this negative content.
Did you have an automated way to do that?
Microsoft before: no claim over AGI

But at its best, government agencies are exactly that.

It's free people in a free market learning from their mistakes and saying "well THAT sucked! Let's not do THAT again!". But you know, more efficiently, as is the market's want - rather than re learning the same lesson over and over and over again, we write it down and codify it.

Of course, that's regulations at their best. Regulations at their worst are pretty awful too! But given your post was about the very existence of regulations and their related agencies, I thought I'd offer a perspective :).
Yenc is still used a lot actually, for the purpose of what Usenet has de facto become, a piracy network :)
At any company, the square root of the number of people working there do 80% of the work. So, more people makes that group larger, slowly.

That doesn't mean that a company can just cull the rest of the employees not in that group mind, just that a small number of them are responsible for most of the value while the rest work as a support structure to allow them to do what they do.
Perhaps this is nitpicking too much but now I wonder on the point of obligation. Is this IRS function required per some law or other mandate?

Of course, it seems best that a regulating body is clear about their regulations. It seems weird that’s even in contention, to be honest. But I do wonder about an obligation to do so.
Securities law is about disclosure. Registering is about filing disclosures.

This is all about disclosure, nothing at all with business function.

I'm sure there's some math behind calculating certain values for disclosure, super important. The importance of this is because the numbers have to reflect reality for the purposes of proper disclosure.

Disclosure.

If your business is to rob trains, not the SEC's business. So long as you disclose your finances you can sell shares of your train robbing business. The criminal conspiracy charges you'll face will have nothing to do with the SEC and everything to do with your state government or the FBI if you messed with interstate commerce.
Thanks for this pointer--I hadn't heard of mpv, but it works amazingly smoothly.
In general I'm on the "many crypto tokens are securities" side here. However this isn't right:

> Whereas essentially the only use of "stablecoins" is as investment schemes; even if someone isn't expecting the value of their stablecoin to rise against USD, they're expecting it to rise against something.

Stablecoins are very frequently used as transfer tokens for remittances, wages and ecommerce. We pay overseas staff in USDC for example (it's quicker and easier than bank transfers).
>Quarto isn’t without its fair share of issues

I like Quarto, and I'm rooting for it, but in putting together a basic web site last year, I spent far too much time isolating and reporting bugs, and waiting for fixes. I get the sense they're moving too fast, and not thinking things through on a basic level.

Yes, every new software project has bugs, but IMO things like the product malfunctioning if menu item text has a certain combination of (ASCII) characters shouldn't happen.

That sort of thing makes me hesitant to delve deeper into the feature set and rely on it more heavily.

This is the root of the problems on both sides.

You've completely forgotten about the actual service you're paying for because it's so "cheap" and ubiquitous.

People use like infrastructure what used to be a treat. Like room service.
The best way to mitigate attacks like this is simple: don't hold the data in the first place. Beyond that, encrypting and limiting who has access to what, and
logging who opens what when makes it much harder for attacks like these to go under the radar. Obviously, not every company is Google and having super sophisticated security practices is both hard to do from an engineering standpoint (requires lots of infra) _and_ requires staff to have a security focused mindset. This is not something a lot of places have, not even tech companies by trade. The cost benefit analysis isn't high, so you end up with orgs that do things akin to dumping all corporate code into one Github account and then wonder how things went wrong when something bad happens.

Boeing Co, as a government contractor being hacked is obviously more concerning than a breach at $x company. It's a shame. I'd say this is a learning opportunity, but it likely won't be. Onto the next round of "cybersecurity" speak...

1A might not be the end-all, be-all of freedom of speech, but what Musk is trying to push here is not anywhere close to freedom of speech. At all[0]. He wants to censor his critics, and has figured the easiest way to do so is to co-opt legitimate concerns about advertiser control over the Internet and use it as evidence of him being "censored". It's a very transparent attempt to do so, and Musk's commitment to freedom of speech is laughable, so we don't need to argue where the line between advertisers' freedom of association and Musk's freedom of speech actually lies.

But if you do want to argue where that line should be, fine. I'll bite.

Advertisers absolutely have too much control over speech online. 404 Media recently published an article about how brand safety filtering has more or less defunded a lot of news coverage relating to the loss of reproductive healthcare and women's rights in America. So I can empathize with what you're saying. However, I can't think of a coherent legal argument as to what the advertisers are doing wrong.

In telecom law, we have the concept of common carrier regulation, which applies to middlemen that connect two parties together. e.g. your phone company cannot bill extra for the same phone call because it happens to be valuable to you[0]. We took a look at the balance of harms and decided that a phone network that cuts off businesses to extort money out of them is worse than the burden placed on phone networks to serve all customers, even the awful ones.

How would this apply to a situation in which the edge of the network decides they don't want to associate with you? We're not talking about ad exchanges cutting off Twitter, mind. These are individual ad buyers all looking at Musk's behavior and deciding "we don't want to give this person money because it makes us look bad if we do that". Do we force ad buyers to blind-buy ad inventory to get around this? Can that even be done? How do they deal with the potential brand damage of being forced to give money to someone that people think is a censorious antisemite? Do companies just eat the loss of goodwill or do we force people to buy from companies they hate to "maximize free speech"?

At some point we have to cut the chain of logic off, before the cure is worse than the disease.

[0] More generally, my personal opinion is that free speech should have a self-defense clause: i.e. that it should not afford speech protections to acts that are contrary to freedom of speech. I think advocating Nazi ideology would count as such an act; certainly most of not all of their ideology is a blatant middle finger to the 1st Amendment. Why protect that which wants desperately to kill you?
How is that all that damaging? I’m sure those batteries are recycled in basically all cases and yes, I’d expect battery replacement does indeed forestall replacement for many phones.
