You don't necessarily need AI to create a door that opens during a fire alert. You could simply make it so that the door is no longer badge controlled if a fire alert goes off.

Sure, it's possible someone might exploit this by creating a fake fire alert to open the door, but they could also trick the AI you suggested by using a fake panicked expression, maybe get some friends in on the prank.

Kind of a segue into why I think AI hype and crypto hype are uncannily similar. You could argue that blockchains have a lot of potential uses, it's just that we already have some kind of legacy technology that works fine and is usually much cheaper. In much the same way, I'd say 90% of people are using LLMs as search engines, albeit search engines that are more expensive and return strange results.

Anyway, point being, 99% of the applications one could imagine getting sniped by this law probably can probably be implemented using alternative, non-AI technologies.
I think there's one extension, although you _kind of_ covered it with "you just like the product"

Some people are addicted to the product. It's not even that they like it any more, and they can see the harm it causes, but they also can't imagine their lives without it.

I think it's a vital move by the government, but I also think it's too late.
> There's a shortage of detached single family homes in desirable cities and suburbs.

You have this backwards, it's essentially physically impossible for this to not be the case. Past a certain point you just cannot squeeze more detached single family homes into a reasonable distance from a city. Single family homes, suburbs, and the required car-centric transit they require are massively space and transit inefficient. If you want there to be affordable detached single family homes within a reasonable distance to a desirable city your best bet is to push for increased density within and around the core of the city, with walkable streets and excellent public transportation. The increase in livability and affordability in the center encourages more people who might otherwise be pushed out to stay and leaves more single family homes for those who really want them.

I noticed an interesting phenomenon when I was learning my 3rd language. Whenever I was struggling to find a word in the newest language, I was more likely to confuse it with a word in my 2nd language than with my 1st. For some reason, my brain had assigned language #1 as "primary" and then all subsequent languages as "secondary" leading to sometimes substituting words from one to the other under duress.
There will always be a shortage of detached single family homes in desirable cities and suburbs, because that style of housing takes up a great deal of land. The only way out is up.
I've visited many muslim countries and know a lot of muslims from different regions, so believe me: most muslims just don't care if you're gay or straight.

Those studies are so often flawed will pieces. Houses begging sold or between tenants are counted as vacant. Vacancies in rural Pennsylvania and Kentucky don't matter much for the homeless in Oakland.

What do you even do with that information? Ship the homeless around the country?

Other studies should that the higher the vacancy rate the lower the homeless rate and the cheaper housing is. So we can just allow people to build where people want to live and solve both problems.

My issue is that this could be applied very broadly:

> (B) a covered company that—

> (i) is controlled by a foreign adversary; and

> (ii) that is determined by the President to present a significant threat to the national security of the United States following the issuance of—

> (I) a public notice proposing such determination; and

> (II) a public report to Congress, submitted not less than 30 days before such determination, describing the specific national security concern involved and containing a classified annex and a description of what assets would need to be divested to execute a qualified divestiture.

The above gives the president the ability to shut down many websites out there from operating in the US if they are "controlled by a foreign adversary". Btw, the definition is here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/4872, which says: "Covered nation.—The term “covered nation” means—
(A)the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea;
(B)the People’s Republic of China;
(C)the Russian Federation; and
(D)the Islamic Republic of Iran."

I can almost see an executive justifying bad practices as "providing pain and suffering for your growth".

I understand the idea behind it, but it's survivorship bias in a pedestal. What about all the other kids that suffered the same or even more, but weren't lucky enough to become billionaires?

These wannabe inspirational quotes from lucky individuals don't make sense to me.
I'm seeing a lot of "censorship is bad" propaganda coming from the shills. This resonates with liberal minded people who are against censorship.

Now, that's not to say that most people here are shills or wrong for being against censorship. However they are unwittingly being coopted just as anti-racists were when China deflected any responsibility for a lab leak.

"The pattern isn't the important bit."

I was taking pattern as the electrical impulses in the brain. Which I would say is everything when it comes to thought and thinking.

Human Neurons are just Calcium Voltage potentials. Just like weights in a NN.

Yes. The human brain neurons are far more complicated than that. There is a lot of chemical soup of hormones and modulators that factor into the voltage potentials. What you eat can impact gut, that impacts how many neurotransmitters are produced, that impact when a neuron fires, that is experienced as a mood, etc.... SO yes, the human brain cannot be separated from the body.

There is some entity, brain+body. And it so happens that it is made from Carbon . And we call things based on Carbon to be 'organic' and it can re-produce so we call it 'alive'. These are just definitions, that we have assigned to things.

Just like a CPU can't be removed from it's power supply and keep working. There is a 'system' and it has 'parts'.

That doesn't mean, we can't model a brain to a degree close enough that you couldn't tell an AI and Human apart.

I'm just saying, that when we do reach that point, then we'll be forced to realize the AI also has an internal subject experience, and is 'conscious', or we'll have to acknowledge that humans do not.

It will be either/or.

Humans and AI are both conscious, have internal subjective experience.
or Neither do. And if neither do, then humans really are just hallucinating their inner experience, but not in control. Humans are also deterministic. Nothing special.

I see from your other posts, that you seem to be putting a lot of faith in Chaos Theory or Quantum Mechanics as some underlying explanation. To give humans the special sauce.

I'd just say, introducing randomness, does not make a system un-determined. That there is a lot of randomness in our 'chaotic' body, does not imbue it with agency. Randomness != Agency.

Edit:
I like the clay example. I'd say that is like the NN that goes through training, then released, but the model is static. Doesn't get updated. Eventually these AI's will learn as they go and be continually updating.
For what it's worth - you come across as completely unserious if your suggestion to fix housing shortages is genuinely to levy a $100k tax for property owners who aren't currently renting out their units.
Technophobia is a constant surprise to me, especially here. But then, I'm weirdly far in the direction of embracing change — it took me until my 30s to learn about the Chesterton's Fence version of conservatism, and through that example that there was any form of conservatism which had merit.

Looking it up, I'm surprised how common technophobia is, 85-90%[0]; I should be more mindful of this.

In my experience, someone who is new to EVs will tend to do a lot of short, fast accelerations to explore how the vehicle performance. That happens mostly in the early stages of using an EV and after a while they settle in to a more normal (ICEV similar) acceleration pattern.
In a previous discussion thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39692670), there was a significant amount of discussion regarding the belief that the push for this legislation may be influenced by the pro-Israel lobby, specifically in reaction to the uncensored flow of information via TikTok following the events of October 7th in Gaza. These discussions were quickly downvoted and flagged. However, I believe it is crucial to engage in this conversation respectfully and with a genuine intent for understanding. The potential influence of such lobbying efforts, if substantiated, carries profound implications that merit thoughtful discussion, irrespective of one's personal stance on Israel, Gaza, or the broader political dynamics. If you share these concerns, I encourage you to reply with any evidence supporting your viewpoint, so we can engage in a constructive and good-faith discussion about this issue.

When I was young everyone told me to start saving early because compound interest. Every dollar you don’t spend today will be $30 when you retire!

That is the least interesting reason to start saving early. In fact it’s such a bad reason it probably puts people off the concept. Few enough people actually listen to it that it makes you wonder.

Every dollar you don’t spend at 25 is a dollar off of your expectation of standard of living. Which is a dollar you don’t need at retirement. And saving early means stock market usage early, and stock market losses early. The sooner you learn not to lose your shirt on the stock market the better. And that’s when you have a few thousand to lose on the market instead of later, when it’s tens of thousands.

Those are the reasons you start early, and start small.

>masked with N95s

I see this as an example of confusion between population-level and individual protection. Widespread use of N95s is great at keeping the hospitals from overcrowding, but if somebody is serious about personally avoiding COVID, 95% percent filtration seems rather low (and there's leakage around the sides too.) If they were truly serious about avoiding COVID, they'd use an elastomeric half-face respirator at the minimum (which has the bonus feature of being more comfortable to wear).

Related question I've always had: does anyone know why trees on the west coast of the US and Canada grow so tall? You'll find the tallest species of fir (douglas fir or if you're being pedantic the grand fir), pine (sugar pine), hemlock (western hemlock) and cedar (western red cedar) as well as the redwood species. Other places with similar climate grow tall trees but nearly so high. Is it something about the climate or are forests here just full of highly evolved specimens involved in an arms race?

But Tiktok is much worse for US citizens:

- Facebook+Twitter are US-based entities and have to follow US laws and regulations in a much more strict way than Tiktok

- They are not controlled by a politically-motivated adversarial government

You are also conflating apps "from a country" vs apps "under a country's gvmt control". I think most here would agree "apps from a plurality of countries" is a good goal to strive for, while "apps under a dictatorship's gvmt control" is not.
The expected increase in cancer would be statistically undetectable. That doesn't mean regulators should assume there is no increase.
That's somewhat irrelevant IMO.

There are hundreds of thousands of hard workers (probably millions) that are smarter than him that will never become billionaires. The difference is: he got lucky.

This is the nature of survivorship bias.
Rich hater be hating here. He came from poor to the top and wasn’t passed a silver spoon, so he has enough qualifications to lecture.
So if TikTok was not earning any profit from US (for example, if it was sponsored by the govt), there would be no commerce and it would not be banned? I do not believe that.
Montenegro and Domen D.O.O. Podgorica, the company that runs the .me domain, can redirect the domain as desired, without effective repercussion or recourse. Domen's and the Montenegro government's beneficial owners are not publicly known. One would hope that the security relationship between the IRS and ID.me would be effective enough to defeat such an attack, but we don't know who the beneficial owners of ID.me are either, or anything about its infrastructure and supplier security... But one expects they would happily sell that information anyways.

I understand the theory of that but wonder how much difference there actually is.
Of all the features that you have listed, I use only the syntax highlighting. I have never tried to turn it off for longer than a few minutes when it worked.

When it is broken (e.g. wrongly coloring stuff) I sometimes turn it off, but this is usually not long enough to find out if I am really better without the colors.

Turning off the syntax highlighting is still one of the things that I would like to try out some day...
Every single major population center that has distorted (high) housing costs relative to income, also has very strong protections for the existing home owners (NIMBY).

"There are no coincidences..."

The solution is terrifyingly simple: don't allow existing residents to block new housing developments. If they don't like it, they can move.

This will probably never happen in the U.S., because the government no longer functions as intended.

> But not like the UK

The UK's social housing scheme was/is a stonking success, right up until about 1980. it completely reset the minimum standard of housing from slums to actually decent. It wasn't all a success, skelmersdale and thamesmede sucked balls.

The problem with the uk's social housing came as follows:

1) the change from needing a job to have a council house to being a dumping ground for troubled families without support
2) removing the ability of councils to fund new housing
3) overly complex centralised funding of repairs and upkeep
4) selling off housing and then taking the money away that was needed to replace them

Thats very different to the "projects"
160 million US citizens post/watch those videos on tiktok, tiktok is their platform for expressing themselves, by banning tiktok, they can argue that the government is taking away their platform for expressing themselves.

It's not rich hating, it's that there's a billion poor people who weren't passed a silver spoon, worked hard, but ultimately failed in the one key element: luck. Rich people never understand that most of their success came from luck. In general, it makes them very unqualified to tell other people how to get rich.

And no I'm not saying rich people are too dumb to understand it, I'm saying that they're trying to rationalize survivorship bias, which pretty much everyone on planet earth does, knowingly, or unknowingly.

Tell Congress: Stop the TikTok Ban. Instead, Protect Our Data No Matter Who
Guix started as a fork of Nix, but I believe all original Nix code has been replaced with Guix specific code at this point. Core functionality is pretty comparable between the two of them. Two differences I can tell you immediately is that GNU Guix has a built in user home configuration management system[0], and Nix depends on an external module to do the same[1]. NixOS, like most distros uses systemd for it's init system. GNU Guix uses Shepherd[2]. Honestly it hasn't really been much of a point of note in my experience, but it's probably worth mentioning as a difference.

Regarding Free vs non-Free packages: this can be a pain point if your system requires non-Free packages to function on GNU Guix. I (like most other Guix users I would guess) use the nonguix[3] channel for additional packages. One of my systems requires the baseline Linux kernel for propriety Ethernet drivers (included in Linux because of GPLv2 :P), so I had to create a custom installation ISO with the baseline kernel. This probably sounds horrifying, but creating a custom installation ISO is actually very easy in Guix (and probably Nix as well). It's the only distro I've ever done it for.

But between the main Guix channel, nonguix, and Flatpak, it's very uncommon that I cannot find what I want. According to repology[4], Guix is the #5 repo for most packages. And the few packages that I have wanted that were missing, I have actually been able to contribute package definitions for upstream to Guix, since the process is very easy and well documented (also the only distro I have ever done that for).

Do you think he would feel the same if the government split apart Nvidia and forced them to either sell the software (CUDA) or hardware as separate companies? After all, it's not like he has the right to run his company at the detriment of society. Opening up CUDA would be a massive net gain to humanity, or at least allowing more open source software to run on Nvidia hardware.

This is just an extremely tone deaf article from a billionaire.

This is a really terrible message to put out, especially where once upon a time America truly tried to make a "great society" through new deal programs and civil rights advancement; but nowadays the political climate is trash, largely thanks to the elite class rat fucking it into submission.
Yeah, you're missing that it's most likely unconstitutional, because it violates the First amendment.

Also related, but somewhat separate, is just that people should have freedom to information.
Paul regularly livestreamed on TikTok -- almost daily.

When I first saw him, I was rather horrified by his predicament. But then I saw that Paul was always upbeat and positive and accomplished. He seemed to live his life to his maximum. And he accomplished more than the average abled person.

I hadn't seen him the past couple weeks (though my TikTok usage is more cautious morbid curiosity and at an arm's length). I guess this explains it.
Front-and-center political takes (like a #FreePalestine and blog link at the very top of https://darklang.com/) are not something I expect with the software I choose to use. It's a strange thing and makes me less likely to embrace an already risky, experimental software.

Yea of course this is just an LLM interacting through a very crude interface with some control algorithms, but I think it is amazing that we sort of have an approach for both ends of the complexity spectrum now: LLMs for high level, vague, common sense reasoning, and traditional robot control, planning, machine learning methods for the physicak execution of simple movements. We just have to gradually connect these two systems.
