Reminds me of seeing Putin bragging a few months ago about how Russia has more nukes than the US/NATO/whatever. Well yes, you better hope so, because if shit hits the fan, you have to take on basically the entire free world by yourself, whereas the entire free world is aiming everything they've got at just you.
Who takes the money home though? Those too can be made fungible. Let’s not try to justify exploitation and grift.

Yeah so that’s not how taxes work.
Any grounding that comes from humans is scarce. For training we really want automatic grounding from rules that can be applied trillions of times per second rather than labor intensive human grounding at much lower rates.

Of course, grounding from robots is also scarce unless you build a whole lot of robots. Ultimately we need systems that generalize rules from a small amount of grounding data. I guess that describes world models, which large language models currently lack (explicitly, at least).
> even humans can do it.

I think this is a misconception. Even in water, you cannot provide lift equal to your bodyweight.

It is easier to swim (vs sink) in water because the water gives a large amount of buoyancy.

However, in air and on mars, buoyancy is small enough to be negligible.
That comes off the balance sheet which doesn’t impact taxes. Eg if they raised $100k from friends/family to start the company, that equity investment has no bearing on the P&L or taxes owed.

Well, in BC, you can go here [1], enter anyone’s name, and find their complete criminal justice history in the province. For $6, you can get copies of all the filings, such as the alleged charges. If their charges were not pursued further, that’s in the record as well, but often the trail just ends without a particular entry indicating that charges were dropped.

I've cycled to work for years. I know what debris looks like. There wasn't any in the cases I mentioned - the roads were dry and clear. I'm not talking about cars at a standstill opening doors, either, I'm talking about traffic moving at 35 mph.

No, I don't fantasize about mowing them down. I want nothing to do with that. Help me help you to avoid hurting you.
The thing is, what if you're learning something particularly complex? How do you go about documenting what you need to do, because a simple list like that wouldn't seem to suffice?

Maybe my issue is how I go about documentation, as opposed to lists.

It might also just be that I don't know how to make a list not end up being an obligation. Aren't they obligations by definition, a thing you need to do?
How well does that work with iMessage etc? It would be an additional line I guess so should work okay I guess.

As Jeff Bezos recently said on the Lex podcast: one of the greatest compliments you can give an inventor is that they’re invention will be taken for granted by future generations.

“It won’t be any more wickedly cool than the internet” - saying something won’t be any more wickedly cool than the most profound and impactful pieces of infrastructure human civilization has erected is a pretty high compliment.
> And I want the world (or EU, then others to follow suit) to slowly reduce copyright to 0 years* after artists death if owned by a person, and 20-30 years max if owned by a corporation.

Why death at all?

It's icky to trigger soon after death, it's bad to have copyright vary so much based on author age, and it's bad for many works to still have huge copyright lengths.

It's perfectly fine to let copyright expire during the author's life. 20-30 years for everything.
Not a very convincing argument, but it is sort of funny to see a page making this argument with a script tag downloading a js file.
Thank you, what techniques resonated with you?
But that doesn't mean that tools don't make others lives more difficult.

Missiles as a tool to do damage don't necessarily make other peoples lives easier. But it might make the lives easier of those who wish to do damage.

Technology is a tool, which can be used to make lives easier and harder.

Right, this is exactly why I'm confused about the all-is-lost framing of this. $12K isn't nothing. It's a pretty shitty thing to have drop on you and I think it should revert. But if you're starting a software business that isn't a solo shop--so you have hundreds of thousands of dollars in payroll--I would expect a $12K difference to not be the needle-mover between "start a business" and "don't"; we're not talking a hot dog stand here.
You have to have income in order to be taxed. So there is no taxing non-existent profit. There has to be actual profit. What people must be complaining about is that they can't take all the income from product X in year Y and say it was spent on developing product X so no profit was made. Instead they'd need to have spent that income on marketing supporting and maintaining that product. Then they'd be making zero profit and no tax owed.
I'm a fan of DAOs for some things, but giving the legal ownership of the IP and the keys to running the entire platform to a subsidiary is not the same conversation as "here's how DAOs work."
Isn't that just because a helicopter design that can fly in the stratosphere wouldn't be able to fly at sea level?

Just like the mars helicopter cannot fly on earth.
It's true that buoyancy helps, but even so swimming clearly provides a greater propulsive force than doing the same motion in air despite the greater drag in water.
My example is slightly contrived because the parentheses around b are unnecessary to cast it, but it becomes more realistic if it's a more complex expression like this:

(foo)(a + b)

Or this:

(bar)(first = side_effect++, second)
I just learned recently there’s a lot of drama of “localizers” blatantly mistranslating or inserting their own words to push their ideologies.
But then by definition, that’s what their labor is worth. Unions can be a stopgap measure, but they can’t correct the underlying market forces. Or at least, I haven’t seen particularly persuasive evidence that unions can do more than make everyone collectively equal, which implies that everyone in X industry would be paid the same, or based on seniority rather than merit. Not my cup of tea, but I’m also privileged not to have chosen a field suffering from a surplus of labor.

People really can get themselves out, though. I did. There’s no reason for individuals to subject themselves to it unless that’s what they really want. I.e. it doesn’t necessarily seem like a bad thing that situations like these exist.
Obviously, the "free-less programs" are not a "one size fits all" option. Like pretty much everything in IT and the dev world.
One thing I observed during my format analysis was that the solution mode was not very intuitive. It is not clear that the "Reset position" would restart the animation (which cannot be paused by the way), and you can make a move even when the animation is still playing.
> population tends to put value not on the result, but origin and process

I think population tends to value "looks pretty", and it's other artists, connoisseurs, and art critics who value origin and process. Exit Through the Gift Shop sums this up nicely
I think this is a good question. I don't think you're going to find a RISC-V board with comparable performance to an rPI 4 or 5 in that price range currently.
Perhaps it's a misunderstanding of your statement? From my perspective, what I understand from what you're saying is that gay people have long fought against the idea of marriage, which I have not seen as being true.

If you're saying it's government and culture (and many religions) that are against gay people marrying, I agree with that.
> Some cyclists are better than others at signaling before switching lanes.

They're not "switching lanes". They are wandering randomly back and forth over the line, with no discernable purpose. It's not about parked cars, either. The stripe is fresh and new, it is not "nearly invisible", and it periodically has a bike painted on it so nobody can misunderstand that it is a bike lane.
> a future mutation was necessary to save humanity

Even in that scenario, it is very simple, we protected the people today and use vaccines to induce the necessary mutation. The moral choice in my book is to always err on the side of the living than "potential of the living".
> It should alarm animators that they’re paid so little. It alarmed me as a gamedev when I saw how much webdevs earned in comparison. It’s partly why I left, and I was much happier for it.

Well, as a software engineer game development is among the lowest-paying jobs you can have, and you usually don't need any special training to switch to something more remunerative. As an artist, though, there's nothing hugely better you can just switch to without doing a lot of training, which is a tough bargain given how expensive art school can be. Sometimes people successfully pivot to graphic or UI design, which is generally more lucrative, but that's about it.

Ironically, game dev at a medium or large studio is actually one of the more stable and lucrative careers in the art world, unlike software development where it's the opposite.

> To my knowledge, there hasn’t been a successful one yet for software, but I’m ignorant of the art world; maybe they have one.

Yes, animators in L.A. at many major studios (e.g. Disney) are unionized, and as a result they're among the best jobs you can get in that field. They still work long hours, but you can earn six-figure compensation with good benefits if you specialize in the right things (generally the more technical you are, the better off you are).

Very true. I was watching a video yesterday learning how to make brush work digitally. While there were examples, they were just examples but the rest was specific techniques and demonstrations.

Switzerland has pretty low fee debit cards (Maestro?), which I used extensively during my time there, as a foreigner I didn’t qualify for a credit card with BCV, so no visa/mastercard, but I really didn’t need it.

Back in my he states, I avoid any business that takes only cash, because I’m not carrying anything but my phone and a backup credit card in case tap to pay isn’t accepted. I also think businesses should be allowed not to accept cash given that those that do are targets for armed robbery these days (a problem I expect Switzerland not to share).
This appears to be basically the same argument I responded to originally, but rephrased in a different way -- that the privileged artists want to prevent anyone else from attaining their power and it's not fair.

You didn't address my original point, which is that your drawing-assistance-machine was only made possible by surreptitiously training on a vast amount of artist's work without their permission.

To use your nanobot analogy, would you see any problem if the nanobot company attained its power by secretly scanning the brains of surgeons without their permission, so that it could mimic their neuron structure and give its users the same memories and motor skills? Or is the process by which the power was attained a non-issue for you?

Who cares? With AI, you don't need art school. AI is making humanities redundant, and people are too proud to admit it.

I can't believe how many people are not in awe of the possibilities of AI art, so it's great to see AI disturbing the cynics until they learn. Not everything is political, but I'll let them have this one.

You would think the economists at UChicago would have told these researchers that their tool would achieve the opposite effect of what they intended, but here we are.

In this case, the mechanism for how it would work is effectively useless. It doesn't affect OpenAI or other companies building foundation models. It only works on people fine-tuning these foundation models, and only if the image is glazed to affect the same foundation model.

I tried to think how this might go wrong. The part that I can see going wrong is with the 'choosing' array, an optimizer may choose to combine the two writes and just write 'false' immediately. I feel like that breaks a lot of reasonable guarantees, but let's run with it.

So basically the problem is that two processes might pick the same number, see the other process with an (outdated) lower number and choosing=false, and go ahead into the critical section.

So basically you need a guarantee that the write to the choosing array lands before picking a number. You can simplify things a bit by simply setting 'number' high instead of using 2 arrays, but still.
Is the goal to give players an engaging experience, or guide them through specific chess material?

I had a similar experience to the person above - after a few puzzles where the first move is the same I wasn't interest in doing more. I also don't want a random puzzle - generally puzzle progression goes from easy to hard - will random just give me a really hard one?

If you are set on keeping the order of _1001 Ways to Checkmate_, maybe giving some context on which chapter the user is on would be nice (Queen Sac, Forks). Otherwise as a user, if I don't want to do some unknown amount of queen sac puzzles over and over then I'm just going to bounce.

$25 Billion what? Revenue? Profit? Total Transactions? That is a meaningless number without some context. It's also not a whole lot for an entire industry. Why is that supposed to mean that animators should be paid more? They could be making $25 billion in revenue and have razor thin margins or be losing money already.

Replying to my own comment to add: You'd have to reassemble them by hand. Even if you find all the pieces, you have to arrange them properly, and then, what, tape them together? Who's going to accept that for spending?
It’s more than PR: it’s recognizing that there is a massively greater cost to failure because fixing even a small problem is impossible. When you’re designing something with sufficient robustness to hit that minimum success requirement, it’s almost certain that you’ll be able to exceed it by a large margin. NASA is willing to pay more to avoid failures, and given their funding model that’s almost certainly the right call.

Think about it like having to get across town after work for some reason. If it’s your buddy’s party and it’ll run all night, you might take the bus or call an Uber but it’s no big deal if you’re a few minutes late. If it’s your party, you might pay to park your car nearby or have a ride waiting for you. If it’s the meeting where you’re selling your company or announcing your presidential campaign, you might have a helicopter waiting on the roof. NASA’s stuff is all like that last case because the base costs are so high - shipping anything to another planet and waiting years to do it again, if you are given the chance, costs so much more that it makes sense to pay extra to build everything with deep safety margins just so you can say the odds of failure are comfortably low.

While this is true - that many laws are broken, with the government looking the other way, or citizens just keeping their mouths shut - the statements made by Singapore's leadership sends a chill down my spine.

Just recently they made unilateral (clearly, because PAP controls Parliament and has since the country's founding) changes to the law that police don't need a warrant to search someone if there is a "reasonable suspicion the person may destroy evidence prior to a warrant". Not to mention there is no "right to remain silent" or "right to lawyer" (before making a statement), etc, etc.

But what really caught my notice was the quote from the Minister of Justice - “There is no downside to this amendment because if they search and they find the evidence, or if they do not find the evidence, no one is worse off."

To me that is wild. Invasion of privacy of an innocent individual and "no one is worse off". There isn't even an attempt to talk about trade offs - "yes, this is in invasion of privacy, but we're carefully balancing it against the need for an effective police force". Just straight up "searching the private space of an innocent individual is insignificant".

That said, there is overwhelming support for this kind of law in Singapore. There was a recent poll that asked something like "Do you agree with this statement: It is better that there is stability than democratic rights." and 70-80% of Singaporeans said "yes".

So "meh?". I may recoil at the very premise of the system, but Singaporeans seem to like it.

You could actually run a small chess engine a few moves ahead to sort the full list of legal options into the order of obviousness.

Then you can use a variable length encoding (Huffman coding?) to encode the moves, with more obvious moves taking fewer bits. You could even encode multiple moves into a single code point, and it might be possible to encode an entire sequence of obvious moves (like a complex exchange) into a single code point, which might be encoded as just a single bit.
Why tax income? Wealth should be taxed. The problem is hoarding, not doing valuable work.

For example, owning land that is empty or an empty building for years just so it appreciates deprives the community. Tax the shit out of it so it forces the owner to use it productively or sell it so someone else can figure out how to use it productively.
What about the crusades? Traveling from France to Israel to “take back the holy land” seems pretty religiously motivated.

If you would pay $0.01 per song on Spotify. Then if you listen to an artist's album of 10 songs for a 100 times, so 1000 song plays of $0.01, that is $10. Spotify takes 30% cut, then the artist gets $7 and Spotify gets $3. Now if 10,000 people listen to the album a 100 times, the artist gets $70,000 and Spotify $30.000.

What the artist needs to do for this is come up with the songs, work them out, practice them with a band, record, produce, mix, artwork, release, promo.

For Spotify to release the album on their platform, they just need to sign a deal with the artist and add the album to their library. And this process is obviously largely (if not fully) automated. Of course they have some infrastructure and costs for this, but I think they're much better off than the artists.

My feeling is that an EoR (employer of record) like remote.com might be enough for everyone to be able to avoid R&D capitalization. The research happens in Canada, by a Canadian employee of a Canadian company. You pay an American company for outsourcing human resources. The American company pays the Canadian company for human resources services.

Then again, if you're paying another company for outsourced human resouces, but you have an IP assignment clause as part of that, maybe you would need to claim it as your R&D expense
