That was one example, in an ideal world where an LLM just spouts out human knowledge, there are no holds barred.

There's enough literature online, blog posts, textfiles on how to synthesize drugs, build your own weapons, but try prompting GPT, Gemini or any other major LLM out there you'd get a virtue signalling paragraph on why you're a bad person for even thinking about this.

Personally I don't care about this stuff, but in principle, the lack of the former points to LLMs being tweaked to be "safe".
they're actually providing a service. It is easy to consume pirated content, but have it curated, listed and streamed directly to your tv adds value, so people are willing to pay for it.
This reminded me of the forced photographs that Marc Garanger took of Berber (Kabyle) woman for identification cards for France during the Algerian Revolution [1]. My ancestral village in Kabylie was similarly emptied out with forced relocation and napalmed when my dad was a kid, so it's always wild to see these photographs.

"The number of variables for sleep apnea is large to have certainty."

Clearly they have to know which part of your airway is restricted. Most of the variables for sleep apnea are not related to the surgey, just factors that make it more likely to experience that restricted airway (drinking, weight, etc).
I was part of a gaming group in the 1980s that played Diplomacy on custom maps that we made (my wife worked for USGS Map Sales, which gave us access to a lot of nice maps) and some other games. We also had Nomic in the rotation.

My experience was that it was a lot of fun with five or six players, but it tended to run quite long (three to five hours) and it was exhausting.

I think it’s quite educational about the legislative process. After a few games of Nomic one no longer wonders why it’s so hard for legislatures to get things done. One also gains a certain respect for the sheer stamina (and bladder control) of people who do it for a living, rather than as an occasional amusement.

I like to tell the story of one game in which a player, annoyed with the tendency of the players to lard up every proposed change with endless amendments, proposed a new rule that anyone who proposed a fourth amendment to a proposal under discussion would be doused with a glass of water. Everyone else was similarly annoyed with all the amendments, and so the new rule passed unanimously.

So that curtailed the amendments some, right? Ha ha, no. Rather, in short order everyone was soaking wet and the word "douse" had been redefined in the rules to mean dipping fingers in the glass of water and waving them in the target’s general direction.
Make something automated, and it will be gamed. The more the automation and "efficiency", the worse the gaming.

People are telling you to read the book because, yes, it has a ton of perspective on the long-standing market and regulatory forces that shape the environment that almost certainly led to this specific incident. Understanding how loss-of-power incidents happen, why ships are built the way they are, how flags-of-convenience affect the standards to which ships are maintained and inspected, how ship builders, owners, lessees, operators, crews, and regulators interact, YES, all of those things are extremely relevant to understanding the present situation.

If someone made a landscape painting today using the wet-on-wet technique, would you argue that a Bob Ross episode from years ago couldn't possibly tell us anything about it? That's silly. It's precisely applicable. Mr. Ross himself might not describe the specific location of today's trees or clouds, but he can darn sure tell you how the brush strokes add up to make a tree. Actually he's probably one of the world experts on precisely that.

Proclaiming your ignorance of extremely-well-researched expert sources is not a good look.

This is one of the biggest issues with containers IMO. This and the layering system, which I think is poorly designed both to configure and to actually do the tasks it's meant to(build and delivery caching).

The solutions to this problem in the space have basically been to provide scanners to crack open the containers and detect things with known vulnerabilities. But I have not seen (m)any solutions around these scanners to facilitate the lifecycle of landing fixes.

Even if you provided a tree of a-proved base containers for each deployment lang in your org, you can't just update the base and deploy the world, there's not even tooling to automate working over the "FROM hierarchy" of images where you could detect which need to use new bases.

Because of the difficulty in managing large container hierarchies, in some orgs the later drives a common methodology of making image tags mutable, i.e. `ruby:myorg-v2`, which makes the FROM more like a dynamic link reference that gets updated automatically on the next build. I view this workaround as a regression brought on by the _still_ incredibly poor and complex SDLC tooling around managing images.

There's about two sentences in the article that say "it's suspicious, but nobody's going to look into it harder than they have."

The piece you linked shows many indications he was in great spirits and eager to testify, so I am not sure it supports your efforts to refute the conspiracy. Personally, I am more vulnerable to the conspiracy that the suicide was forced or staged after reading that article.
Hire people to enforce the "good speak" and not free speech. How does no one see a problem with politicians deciding what can be said and not said or what can have scary flags on it in the course of a political discussion? Has literally no one paid attention to the dystopian sci-fi that's been put out for the last hundred years. Most of that sci-fi was based upon communist regimes and what they were doing at the time. The Free world has forgot that freedom was the core principle of the Free world.

Some are saying that this allows people to postpone taxes, but not really. Not in aggregate. Someone has to sell their shares for companies to buy back stocks. For those who sell during the buyback, that profit is subject to taxes. Moreover, the market cap stays the same. Technically the shareholders already owned that cash they used for the buyback. All it does is move places on a report. If it were better used in R&D, that is a complaint they would be motivated to take up with management, since otherwise the buyback would be losing them money.

I suppose you are too young to remember that back in the day there was no IDE helping you with autocompletion, thus one character less in the name is one character less to type.

Furthermore, I'm ready to bet you are from the USA, and you forgot that most of the world (even the programming world) does not speak English natively, thus "SeedRandom" is NOT clearer than "srand": it's just as cumbersome and longer to type while reading character by character on a paper manual.
A Gallup poll made on behalf of CNN and USA Today concluded that 79% of Americans thought the Iraq War was justified, with or without conclusive evidence of illegal weapons.
The engineers have accounted for this and appropriately fasten the individual components to the machine rather than bringing the parts in for assembling the machine while the high powered magnetic field is present.

They won't make digital ID mandatory yet; the point is to make it as inconvenient as possible not to have a digital ID. It's likely you won't be able to do your taxes online without signing up for it. Then you won't be able to receive certain government services. Businesses will be able to use it, starting with banks.[1] It's just about making it more and more inconvenient until you're forced to use it because some service you can't do without requires it.

The Netherlands has some respect for digital privacy. In Australia, it won't be hard for the Americans to access this data. The point of data privacy isn't just about not giving up information. If a particular agency needs a piece of data, you don't want every other government agency to have access to it. A digital ID makes it convenient to aggregate everything.

Australia has tried this many times. They even satirized it in the TV Show "Utopia" (Episode "Mission Creeps")

What is the deal with school administrators? I've never interacted with a profession that incompetent and self-important. Some, I assume, are good people.

> Fresno High is the latest school in the district to roll out the 5 Star Students app to regulate student trips outside classrooms during instructional periods. Students are limited to two seven-minute bathroom breaks during the day, and the app keeps track of the time they spend outside of classrooms.

I'd sure hate to be a student with IBS having to deal with this system.

Or female. I wonder how much the school district is paying for this app.

If the real costs is decreasing that's usually good, a decrease in nominal prices not so much. Why would you invest into increasing productivity etc. if you know that you revenue will only go down Longterm? Generally we'd want to quality to increase while prices stay more or less the same to encourage innovation.

> We've made massive increases in production efficiency

Likely much if not most of that wouldn't have happened if monetary supply was constrained and there would have been a lot less investment.

> the real value of the already enormous debts would increase even if the nominal value didn't

Why would you even want that to happen? I mean that was a pretty common situation in the 19th century and generally and it was pretty horrible. Imagine if you were a farmer who had a mortgage and the price of the goods you were selling kept going down every year... OTH other hand you could just buy government bonds and spend your days not doing anything useful (e.g. if you were an English aristocrat on a fixed income).

> By keeping the money supply increasing, the economies are collapsing slowly instead

Except they are not collapsing. What we have now is generally a huge improvement over the permanent boom and bust cycles that kept happening until the 1930s in large part because the money supply was constrained and increased at a slower pace than the economy was growing.

I'm now vegetarian, had been vegan for many years. But used to eat meat. I won't touch meat now but I like cheese and the quality of vegan cheese is so poor.

I like honey, it has wonderful attributes to your health,
It makes a good syrup for cakes.

The quality of vegan food, here at least is eh at best.

And you can't just take away meat from those who do eat meat and expect them to fully comply to eating vegetables or such patties.

The vegan industry of food has a lot of processed food.
Unless your eating dal's, soups, and actual food where you processed it it yourself, it's not great for you.

What vegan foods are you eating?

Why Not Mars (2023)
May I suggest a radical POV: time you spent reading books is time not spent validating & building & selling your ideas.

I don’t mean to be rude, but there is nothing special there, no secret sauce, no guaranteed path etc to write books about. It is mostly a common sense knowledge + a bit of inspiration.

But it’s the same inspiration you get from your favorite film heros or real books, like literature.
It is the same type of person that says Romans were more ecological because we have cars and they had carriages drawn by hand or by horse.

Which is to say "let's just pretend that all of those pesky details do not exist".
Regulations are written in blood, because trying to make everything safe pre-emptively is impossible economically for a number of reasons. Primarily being, you can’t (usually) realistically force people to spend the money on something that isn’t clearly an actual problem.

And that fundamentally means until someone ‘bleeds’/a big enough disaster happens, some things won’t get fixed.

See the triangle shirt waist factory for an example of what it took to be able to force people to pay for certain kinds of fixes.

That's what I made hedonjs for, a kind of repl for doing more than the node repl, it allows you to slowly build out your program without restarting it, adding and editing functions (and callbacks, with a slight bit of trickery) and variable values while the program runs.
