From the source given in the article:

immigration officials did not write names down—they checked them off on a list in front of them. In other words, the names were already written down. The officials were not working with blank sheets of paper on which they created lists of newly arrived passengers, but with ship manifests, official lists of passengers who had disembarked. These manifests were required by US federal law as of March 2, 1819.

If an error occurred, it occurred before they set foot on their ship. It's also an error of no actual consequence, because immigration officials at Ellis Island did not issue new arrivals with any form of identity document or record their existence into any domestic registry. Their job was simply to control the point of entry. There was no bureaucratic mechanism by which an error on a passenger manifest could have followed someone off the island.

"We changed our family name because a dumb official at Ellis Island wrote it down wrong" is a story that appeals to modern sensibilities, but it's a rewriting of history.

The exact wording in my state for the red flag law is:

> If after the hearing pursuant to subsection (a) or subsection (b), the court finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the respondent poses a risk of causing bodily injury to self or others by having in the respondent's control, ownership or possession a firearm, rifle, shotgun, machine gun, weapon or ammunition, the court shall grant the petition. If the respondent does not appear at the hearing pursuant to subsection (a) or subsection (b), the court shall grant the petition upon a determination that the petitioner has demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence that the respondent poses such a risk.

The key operative words are "a preponderance of the evidence that the respondent poses a risk". It doesn't give any specific wording as to how likely the risk is, but a plain reading would expect that it could be less than 100% and perhaps as low as 10%.

Also note that, at least in my state, the respondent is afforded the opportunity to be present at the hearing determining whether or not they pose a risk.
With prejudice just means it can't be refiled.

My 2024 goal was creating a website for me and hosting a copy of my newsletter there. I heard a lot of good things about Hetzner and choose them. Just right after signing up, even after I put a credit card with 3DS they immediately banned me. I wrote to support, they forwarded me to page. I uploaded my passport with my face. But my account is still banned. And worst thing is I’m 1 month late for my 2024 goal.

True. I’m working on a project to answer some of these questions and consider innovations that might have an alternative outcome. We hope to make it a collaborative project with wiki-like tendencies. To me, figuring out how to create technical social infrastructure that does not inherently have anti-social incentives is one of the most important problems of this moment.
I think you're onto something, but I'm not entirely sure that that's exactly how it's going to play out.

First of all I don't think that "compatibility will reign". It's more like once the industry really starts picking up RISC-V, fragmentation will reign (at least for a decade or so).

It's also quite likely (IMO) that we'll see a "next generation" rather sooner than later, i.e. "RISC-VI". RISC-V, with some agreed upon extensions, may become the norm for Android, mobile, automotive and so on, but for the high end (servers, gaming, etc) I think that the industry will push for a different philosophy than the RISC-V authors originally envisioned - and that could become a new "revision" if you will.

You mean why luxury apartments will become regular apartments? Most of the "luxury" apartments these days aren't really that special besides being newer and trendier. Of course, the truly iconic buildings will always be considered luxurious, but even the above average ones depreciate. In Manhattan, you can see a lot of buildings from a century ago with degraded ornamentation that would have been beautiful in their heyday, but they're actually more affordable than their neighbors that are plainer, but more renovated.

It's worse than that.

In principle you could easily avoid K9 detection just by putting the drugs in an airtight container. In practice it's hard to avoid any of the drugs getting on the outside of the container or any person who walks into a room with them, and the dog may be able to smell that.

But the same is true when you don't actually have any drugs. Walking through a room (e.g. a club) where someone else has drugs can cause the scent to get on you. Infamously, the majority of cash has traces of drugs on it. So the dog can't detect a kilo of drugs in an airtight container, but it can detect traces of drugs outside of it, which are commonly on people who don't actually have any drugs. The whole thing is a pretext.

My money has been on Meta for AGI since they started training people to label data for them (tag your friends!)

Between all their properties they have more instrumentation on humans, collecting human behavior trajectories and state action pairs transfer learning and inverse RL than anyone - and it’s not even a close second

Specifically and critically I think they likely have the largest egocentric multimodal labeled dataset collection platform from their meta quest and ray ban glasses products

Apple is the only group that will likely beat them to egocentric data collection at scale but I expect Meta to catch up quickly once people are used to it socially
I don't think it's a matter of preferring non-decimal fractions. People use what they are used to, inertia is powerful. Where I live we use metric but gas and paint are still measured in gallons because they were measured in gallons in the not so distant past. Our cooking books do mix 1/4 liters with teaspoons.

If they connect with a desktop application, said application might run some queries against `INFORMATION_SCHEMA` in order to display schemas, tables, and columns. If the investigation is open-ended enough ("we have no idea so just figure it out"), then it might seem reasonable to connect to the database to see what it's about.

It's already hard to see the malice in their actions but it's harder still when I consider that they immediately alerted the company who made the error. Even more when I consider that the company fixed the error. This developer did the company a favor and they had charges filed against them over it.
I think that distinction firmly lies in what founders decide to tell themselves.

This case has been going on for a few years.

Last summer the court declined the prosecutor's case (in this system, the prosecutor files their case with the court, and the court does a quick scan and will dismiss the case before scheduling the trial if it's obviously unsound - happens fairly rarely). Prosecutors got this overturned by a higher court, which means this trial happened at the same lower court, but with a different judge than the one who initially dismissed the case.

> According to a decision by the Jülich District Court on May 10, 2023, the criminal proceedings against the security researcher have been dismissed. The court assumes that no criminal offense has been committed because the data accessed by the security researcher was not sufficiently protected. "Only data that is specially protected against unauthorized access is subject to the scope of protection of the criminal offence. This presupposes that measures have been taken that are objectively suitable [...] to prevent access to the data," the court's decision states. "The court does not agree with the opinion of the public prosecutor's office that password protection as such is sufficient. A password does not always provide effective data protection, for example if it is too simple or is used in a standardized way for certain applications. In such cases, the provision of access to data does not constitute an offense."

> Through its own investigations of the Modern Solution software, heise online was able to confirm that it did indeed contain a built-in default password. This meant that anyone who had examined the software, which was freely downloadable from the company's website, would have had access to the data on the Modern Solution servers.
It's more like you're given a keycard to a building that says "Floor 20" but then find out it has access to all the floors and telling the building security about it. All they did was 'open' the 'elevator door' here revealing the access they mistakenly had. It doesn't sound like they snooped through other customers' data or downloaded anything.
The headline is a bit misleading, since the "biggest US rivals" sell 1/7th as many EVs as Tesla. It's a rival, and it's ahead of the other companies, but it's not exactly neck-and-neck.

I didn’t look too deeply into the scandal about plagiarism (because seeing people I admire fight like kids makes me sad), but I saw one glimpse: one accusation was comparing the Literature section of two papers by a PI and their Ph.D. student, and finding the two first paragraphs matched.

Dude, that’s the “You must read this before taking the class” segment of the paper. It’s a human-legible context for the Reference list (and occasionally, the opportunity for some minor pettiness against the competing lab). No one reads it (except Master’s students trying to catch up), and of course, it’s copy-pasted between two papers on the same topic.

After that, I kind of skipped the topic.

Be that as it may, these "crap holes" are a definite source of financial stability for a huge majority of people in Eastern Europe. Moreover, they are often refurbished into nice apartments, and sometimes even by Western foreigners. Where I live roh bau prices for these apartments begin at 3,000 eur per sqm.
That's true. Aircraft that do not cross borders are only subject to the home country's laws.

FWIW I'm very glad in the US we still allow experimental and home-built aircraft. That's how we got aircraft in the first place and many experimental planes (most?) are built from kits engineered to similar specs as certified aircraft, they just don't go through certification.

However EASA does not actually make Boeing go through a full from-scratch certification again. For the most part EASA reviews the FAA's certification and does not actually put the 737 through a from-scratch certification. This is part of the various "Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreements".

For certain hard requirements (as you noted) there may be disagreement on the rules and the manufacturer may be required to do additional certification with FAA or EASA for the differences but again it is not usually a from-scratch process - it only covers the differences. Technically other countries have similar processes and their own agreements but FAA (being the origin country of powered flight and home to the most aircraft manufacturers) and EASA (home to Airbus and also highly involved since the early days of powered flight... the Wright brothers toured France with their flier to much fanfare, disproving a lot of skeptics in the process) are the leaders and everyone else mostly just follows them rather than inventing their own rules and certifications.
It's a reference to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZe5J8SVCYQ

> The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
I know it’s cowardly to post this from an anonymous account, but I don’t believe this work, because the scientist, Andy Dillin is a fraud. A friend was a student in his lab and discovered something that disproved a key paper Dillin built his career on, and Dillin took him off the project and covered it up.

I hope this is true because it would be an amazing breakthrough, but Dillin is the type to fabricate breakthroughs to further his career.

It's factual.
If we're going to include negative externalities then someone has to figure out all the positive ones too. The economic upside of cheap energy isn't being accounted for in the price either, because low prices tautologically can't capture high value per unit and flows on to people further down the value chain.

The challenge of doing so is insurmountable, that way is the madness of centralised planning.

The comment I was replying to did not say LLM or Generative AI. It didn’t specify LLM and simply asked for examples where AI is making good.

Instead of saying, “is there a source?”, or taking 2 seconds to Google “4 year cancer detection with AI” people are lighting up the comments about failed AI from IBM from ten years ago.

Here is the source:

https://www.unilad.com/technology/ai-detected-breast-cancer-...

Also re Watson. Top Google article for the search terms “Watson medical ai” leads to this article, which contains the best response to your criticism:

> I don’t think that the failure of Watson means that artificial intelligence isn’t ready to make significant improvements and changes in health care. I think it means the way that they approached it is a cautionary tale that lays out how not to do it.

https://slate.com/technology/2022/01/ibm-watson-health-failu...

Whether LLMs deserve all this hype is debatable, but whether there is merit in AI technologies being used today is not. There are some pretty good use cases in medical, pharma and biotech, agricultural, etc. Few of them are based on LLMs but that wasn’t what the commented was actually asking. They were asking if “the AI hype” had any real applications, and it does.

LLMs are just the manifestation of the Gartner hype cycle anyways. And we haven’t gotten anywhere near the terminus for them either, with almost every vendor and open source project planning to at least double model size in the next year as hardware and GPU capabilities expand. I think we have yet to see what LLMs can really do and will be much more pleased with them in 2-3 years as they mature.

I don’t know the details, but one of the few benefits of having companies as rich as Apple is that they can conceivably push back on stupidly broad patents. That they have lost this case doesn’t mean the parent is in any way sensible. Most parents are obvious and the patent examiners seem to have very little expertise or time to do their job properly. This creates a mess, and the courts sometimes enforce patents even when they seem stupid to everyone in the business.

I’m not saying that happened here - but it might have. Most patents are dumb.

An entire culture exists among us, a society parallel to our own. Looking back through history, the signs have always been there. I have heard that one in six are sensitive enough to hear them on their own, and anyone if (for whatever reason) revealed.
