If you truly believe in the principles of free speech, no matter how offensive and evil and cynically motivated, then the logical conclusion of that belief is that adversarial foreign governments have the right to propagandize in America and to Americans. If you abandon your principles the moment someone invokes the foreign menace then you don’t really have principles.

People like to think of themselves as being pro-freedom because it’s hip and cool and they are brainwashed from a young age to be proud to live in “the land of the free” but the moments you interrogate those beliefs a little they start to fall apart. It’s more of a political aesthetic than a true belief system.

A related read is by Fei-Fei Li, who wrote more details about her point of view in a November 2023 article in The Atlantic [1]. The submitted article in The Washington Post focuses largely on the funding disparities, which she does highlight in her own article.

But her article in The Atlantic places a greater emphasis on the effects of a brain drain of AI researchers from academia to industry. She gives examples about how 40 roboticists left Carnegie Mellon for Uber in 2015, and how her close collaborator Andrej Karpathy chose OpenAI in its earlier days over "a faculty offer from Princeton."

She most notably recalls a quote said by someone at an OpenAI meeting that said that "Everyone doing research in AI should seriously question their role in academia going forward," and added the reflection: "To be honest, I wasn’t sure I even disagreed."

I made this app because I have such flexible schedule that I needed a tool where I can organise and structure my days efficiently.
All apps I tried had title based events (you had to type manually what you want to do each time). My app is based on the premise that most people do the same activities/routines every day: So when creating an event in this app, the user can just select the from the pre-created activities/routines instead of having to type it in manually. After you download the app you get 1 day completely free testing, after that you can use the code LAUNCH for another 2 months free use.

Instead, they suggested that Republicans vote for Jeffries as a speaker, and got Johnson.

Is that really better?

I'm sorry... this is ridiculous. I'm not vaccine-heavy (like I don't really think you need a chickenpox vaccine or a rotavirus vaccine if you're healthy or a Hep B vaccine at birth if you're low risk), but the idea of forgoing vaccines for illnesses like polio is just stupid. Too many kids died or were disabled for this. It's just stupid.

The injectable vaccine is safe and has been used for decades. There should really be no objection to it. The oral ones are a different story and I wouldn't let my kid anywhere near those (too high a risk of polio)

It's worse than that actually. The newer Tesla's actually include a "beta feature" to guess which way you want to go. The idea is you should never have to use the touchscreen: When you put your foot on the brake the car automatically selects F or R based on what the sensors see. Like in a parking lot if you parked nose in, it would see another car or wall in front of you, so it would assume you want to go in reverse.

It's labeled beta and disabled by default, but lots of Tesla features are labeled beta and still get used a ton.

I’m curious what they are going to do here. I could imagine… but I always come up with something slower unless it pre-compiling startup code. Otherwise I think the JS engine will be better. Unless you don’t want the JS engine at all…

Their use of SpiderMonkey does remind me though, that Firefox used to recompile extensions for next startup. I wonder if they still do that. That was before Electrolysis.
GP is (quite reasonably) using a deliberately slightly silly example as a rhetorical flourish. I would do the same.

What worked great for me for speeding up CI was using Cachix + namespace.so. This works so well I moved all my personal and our company CI to GitHub Actions.

With "it works so well", I mean:

* CI is cheap because namespace.so runners are faster & cheaper than GitHub Actions

* the UX is exactly the same as using vanilla GitHub Actions, namespace.so's runner is a drop-in replacement

* the CI starts up very fast because `/nix/store` is stored on namespace.so's "Cached Volumes" which are like virtual disks attached to the CI runner, so there is nothing to download to prime the cache, Nix can just start running immediately

* https://github.com/cachix/cachix-action uploads whatever Nix builds to Cachix in the background so from this point on if any of our devs pulls the latest code, they don't have to build any derivations locally, and lose time waiting, everything is pulled automatically from Cachix to their machines, they can get right to work. Or if I have to purge the Cache Volume for some reason, nothing needs to be rebuilt, just pulled from Cachix.

It's taken a few years to get this dialed in, but now that it works, it's sooo good!

> the “majority” usage is completely irrelevant to this discussion.

You've shifted the goalposts so much that I genuinely don't know what you're arguing for anymore. Are you saying "some people use <technology> for <bad>, therefore <technology> is <bad>"? Because then we're back to banning knives, banning cars, banning internet, banning everything basically.

Typically in these discussions it matters what the intended or majority use case for a technology is. If it doesn't matter, then what is it that you're arguing for exactly?

I fully agree with you that some people use image generators to generate new images in specific artists' styles and I agree that there's some moral issues there.
My thinking is that it enables a "more full" virtual world.
There’s no kicker to begin with - the vast majority of apps in the app story require internet anyway, and thus the web is more than a sufficient vehicle to distribute an app. Reddit, Facebook, instagram, Spotify, YouTube, Airbnb, the list goes on.

And no, I’m not trolling. Saying it does not make it so. It’s simply a fact that most apps on the App Store could be web apps. Go and look for yourself. In fact, most of the top apps already have web app versions which proves my point. Right now on my iPhone if you go to the App Store you see “essentials” which list zoom TikTok and Hulu as the top three - all three have web apps.

People have brainwashed themselves sadly into thinking you need an app.
Users benefit from accurate information.

If AI only answers what benefits the owner, that really reduces the value of the product.

I love the idea, especially from reproducibility and debugging standpoints.

It seems like there would be a significant performance hit, even if doing this on a single machine.

If the application does external I/O, it seems impossible to reproduce state if it depends on the state of an external system.

Can you give more details on the pros and cons and your ideas for ideal use cases?

Thanks!
This isn't about regulating what content American citizens are creating. It's about regulating the involvement of adversarial foreign governments to distribute that information. These are quite separate concerns.
Delete the social networks, work with real people and all of a sudden things become a lot less extreme.
Then American companies would need to consider whether they wanted to pull out of the market, or spin off a European version of the company.
>I actually don't think that TikTok is much of a Chinese propaganda avenue.

I don't disagree currently, but it certainly could be used for that. Due to the invisible hand of the algorithm, it would also be hard to know if a topic was trending naturally, or if TikTok was pushing a viewpoint. Setting aside the issue of whether or not TikTok should be banned, do you agree with the potential propaganda concerns?
Cost is a factor but you can have all this and car parking. Plenty of developments in my city are mixed use. 3 or 4 levels of underground parking, then retail, supermarkets on ground floor then bars, gyms, pools, restaurants on the next few and and 20 or 30 levels of apartments on top.

> Cars, phones etc all have to do the thing they're designed to do before they're sold to consumers.

Do you mean that someone individually uses each product sold? I don't think so.

Things wear down in use. It's just reality. Not only does the market value drop, but accounting systems recognize it through depreciation. You've tried to redefine 'used' as superior reliability, but that's only in the rhetorical world where 'war is peace', 'freedom is slavery', etc.

There is uncertainty to brand new, untested technology, but that's not what we're talking about. There is uncertainty to a more limited extent in unused individual products, but I've already addressed that.
