It's also far less dangerous for general health than sugar, which is ubiquitous and fed to children with no restraints. There is no argument for health to restrict cannabis for adults, the risks are well-known, and people are engaging in it, particularly in abuse, with full knowledge. Even the dangers of sugar are still not so well-known, as supermarket shelves demonstrate.
I stopped reading news in the last 3 years and i havent had one "damn, i didnt know about that" moment. News is truelly unimportant.

As for "nowadays there's no difference between those 2 things". I think the "nowadays" part is wrong. I think people have been like this since the beginning of mankind. Just look at medieval witchhunts or ww2 germany.

However, i think the it's an interesting story. It kinda revolves around the philosophy about what is "true". I cant answer that though, but it's interesting to think about.
Suddenly working for some German employer (so I can get free trips there) sounds much more attractive.

Because LLMs don't work in a way for that to be possible if you operate them on their own.

Here is the debug output of my local instance of Mistral-Instruct 8x7B. The prompt from me was 'What is poop spelled backwards?'. It answered 'puoP'. Let's see how it got there starting with it processing my prompt into tokens:

'What (3195)', ' is (349)', ' po (1627)', 'op (410)', ' sp (668)', 'elled (6099)', ' backwards (24324)', '? (28804)', '\n (13)', '### (27332)', ' Response (12107)', ': (28747)', '\n (13)',

It tokenized 'poop' as two tokens: 'po', number 1627, and 'op', number 410.

Next it comes up with its response:

Generating (1 / 512 tokens) [(pu 4.43%) (The 66.62%) (po 11.96%) (p 4.99%)]
Generating (2 / 512 tokens) [(o 89.90%) (op 10.10%)]
Generating (3 / 512 tokens) [(P 100.00%)]
Generating (4 / 512 tokens) [( 100.00%)]

It picked 'pu' even though it was only a ~4% chance of being correct, then instead of picking 'op' it picked 'o'. The last token was a 100% probability of being 'P'.

Output: puoP

At no time did it write 'puoP' as a complete word nor does it know what 'puoP' is. It has no way of evaluating whether that is the right answer or not. You would need a different process to do that.

There are a few comments here related to how unethical the chicken industry is. Other animal production is just as bad, cows are treated terribly whether they're being raised for meat is dairy. If you are one who believes plants may have feelings or that the fungal network is actually used as communication between plants, the concerns would spread to them as industrial farming treats plants just as badly.

I wish more people would go out of their way to buy from local farmers, and that the government would get out of the way with regulations so that it could be a more viable business.

Its nearly impossible to start and run a profitable small farm today, and when production goes to an industrial scale all concern for the animals' (and plants') well being is lost. Everything is boiled down to numbers in a spreadsheet and producers rarely even interact with the animals at all, of course they won't care for an individual animal's well being.

Don’t underestimate the power of status quo. Also, how unpopular it is to criminalize things.

Also, Germany has coalition governments. As long as there is no CDU/CSU and AfD coalition (and then Germany would have worse problems than recreational marijuana) at least one of the currently governing parties will be part of the next coalition.

Given that together with how hard the status quo is to change I’m relatively optimistic. Even though the conservative highly irrational, science and fact denying course is deeply worrying. So they might be ready to govern with fascists. But then, as I said, recreational marijuana is not my most pressing worry.

This already happens for FIDO/WebAuth using a hardware root such as a Yubikey or Secure Enclave, and I believe SubtleCrypto uses hardware acceleration in some cases but I don’t remember if it makes it easy to know that.

One thing to remember here, though, is that there isn’t anything special about key material in this attack other than it being a high-value target. If we move all crypto to purpose-made hardware, someone could just start trying to target the messages to/from the crypto system.

Also, I hope medical weed is easier to get prescribed now, it has very good infrastructure. As in, you see which pharmacy has which strain online in many cases, etc.

With legalized gov corruption (lobbying) and media campaigns to brainwash us into thinking how amazing all these megacorps are, of course most people think a centralized internet is the bee's knees. These people don't have time to crawl through these niche information channels and find out how these user-hostile corporations operate. The people see pretty colors and drool in response. We're given enough time to work, make some babies and die.
Obviously the re-evaluation will show no positive effects on the black market because there's no legal way to buy your drugs (aside from home-grown or cannabis social clubs).
This test is interesting from a general high level metric/test but overall the way they are extracting data using a LLM is suboptimal so I don't think the takeaway means much. You could extract this type of data using a low-end model like 8x7B with a high degree of accuracy.

A society determines which harmful substances (and its effects on the individual and the society) it tolerates and how. Alcohol is in Germany tolerated (more than in the US) and it is also a huge legal business.

I'm for tolerating both alcohol and cannabis, but without mass marketing (ads, ...).

One struggle we face is the large inflow of other drugs, the resulting damage (for example from crack) currently from south America, the import of crime from there and the use of the drug business of legal cannabis business to expand their other drug business.
You're partially right. It's obvious that the solution is to combine traditional programming with AI, using traditional programming wherever possible because it's greener. Assuming you want things to turn out well in every possible future scenario, your decisions only matter if AGI isn't right around the corner. So assume it isn't right around the corner. Then there's going to be some interesting combining-together of manual human intervention, traditional software, and AI. We'll need to charge more for some uses of electricity, to incentivise turning AI into traditional software wherever possible.

Crypto is nearly pure waste.
I think it’s wonderful it didn't go the way of only allowing big-pharma and special pharmacies to distribute it, making big players pocket all the money.

I think self-growing is an excellent way of obtaining it. Social clubs to distribute is also great, let’s see just how much bureaucracy will be involved.

The fact it’s not a commercial legalisation is excellent – it means there are no agents with extreme financial interest hurrying to make a big buck from promoting it in dishonest ways, making it ubituqios, push it on kids etc. etc. etc.
Only the right are against it and if we vote for them we have much bigger problems like mass deportation and more policing...

Tokenisation turns a continuous signal into a normalized discrete vocabulary: stock "went up a lot", "went up a little", "stayed flat". This smooths out noise and simplifies matching up similar but not identical signals.

I dont disagree. Most people totally missed what his message was. Which was basically 'lets add a small bit of standards here, and here are things to look out for'. Then as engineers we went bonkers with it and wildly bikesheded the thing.
This is very well written. Aside from the topic at hand, I had a realization that an essay written in this manner (from the context I assume with input from at least two people) feels as if written by superhuman, combining the individual insights of each into a greater, more insightful whole. It's obvious, I suppose, but this idea had never crystallized for me before reading this.
I agree, why do so many think that an immersive computer environment that makes the full power of the machine ergonomically ready-to-hand is some kind of retro thing?

THC is a hallucinogen. It can trigger psychosis. I know a person who committed suicide because of this. I know more people who kinda threw their lives away and became total slackers, because they were high all the time in their late teens.

A single dose is probably irrelevant for health. But I’d argue that (mental) health would suffer way more than compared to all health effects of sugar.

I’m not against legalizing cannabis, but the cannabis community downplays the risks of regular consumption a lot.
> This doesn't make a lot of sense.

I think it makes a lot of sense. It's a first step towards a broader legalization. Consumers of cannabis will be less stigmatized, which will lead to a more open, honest discussion. I believe the social clubs will work, and bureaucracy will improve over time.
I think the statement was coined specifically for large companies.

> just because they are digital natives, doesn’t mean they can actually use business tools.

As I explained in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39789906
"digital natives" refers to the fact that this is the first generation for which (rather consistently available) internet was something that they grew up with from very early childhood on, i.e. they "never saw the 'old world without consistently available internet' in their life".

So, quite by definition, it does not imply that digitial natives can use common business tools.
"Being able to do exactly what you want with a thing you paid for" is a very different angle of argument to "knowing it allows Apple to heavily tax all AppStore developers"

I was tackling why I don't think that argument holds water with the average person.

"now the greedy company won't let me do what I want with it unless I buy their overpriced add-on"

With printers this is very tangible to the customer, with the App Store what you're describing here isn't as tangible because nothing on the App Store is actually expensive, it's either free or relatively cheap and it's more a case that the user pays little or nothing, Apple gets a cut for doing close to nothing and the dev gets screwed, printers is more the customer gets screwed.
I'm a Greek and this article saddens me.

Greece is run by a populist government, one of the two parties that had be running Greece to it's demise. Kyriakos Mitsotakis is the first Greek politician in my opinion to understand modern media and how to manipulate them, appearing as the sensible choice to people who don't put any effort into researching politics.

All that while we've had the government donating millions to friendly media,

the Greek version of Watergate, with the goverment spying on politicians, journalists and others

and two trains colliding because of state incompetence with many students dying.

All that have not been investigated properly.

Finally the average greek person has not been feeling any "fastest improving business environments" one of the reasons being that the sectors that thrive are not beneficial to the country.

I was recently working on a UI system that attempts to let AI build websites autonomously. When you start working on it you quickly realize how many tradeoffs you have to think through. Most of the questions arise from the limitedness of the context window. For example, Claude 3 supports 200k tokens.

You also have to take into consideration, that since chat history is sent with every new message, the price of the conversion growths ~ n^2 of the number of messages. So do you send the whole codebase? Or do you let AI run commands like ls and cat to read the files it needs? Do you want a file in the directory with quick history of what's already done, and what needs to be done?

Another thing I find interesting is how microservices became a natural choose vs. monolith apps when building with AI, again due to limits of the context window. So you focus on thinking through all the components and their APIs, and then let AI build each of the component. If it can be done in isolation without any knowledge of other components, that's better.

Also, it quickly becomes obvious that fully-autonoumous builder does not make any practical sense. Real person still needs to look at the progress, and give guidance. Not even because AI can't do this, it probably can. But because your own understand of what you are building changes over time. So it should be semi-automatical, with real users being able to change the course any moment.

How do you build the autonomous loop?

One thing I find useful is to let AI write tests first, and then run those automatically on each new chat message. TypeScript types also helps catching broken code early. In those case automatical message is sent "Hey, you broke the tests. Here are the error messages. Go ahead and fix those." Operator doesn't have to bother, until it's fixed.

Another loop can be build with the ability to send screenshots. So at any moment system can send a screenshot to AI, and ask if it's good enough, and if it wants to make any changes. That also improves the quality.

Well, you get the ides. It's an interesting task to ponder.

I think a lot of developers will be surprised how many customers actually side with the convenience of the platform over the actual person creating the value.
They almost certainly would. There's plenty of scummy ways to do business, my guess is they'd produce blister packs of gel capsules filled with THC oil at 480% markup and then fight tooth and nail to recriminalise all other methods of intake.
If you've decided that it's ok to kill people for trying to cross the border you can already do that. The US border is not in a jungle. If you seed it with enough landmines almost no one is making it through.
