My interpretation of the underlying study is that 53.4% of the asian women who developed cancer in the study were nonsmokers, which I believe is subtly different from what you said.

But I think what NBC wrote on the graph is pretty unambiguous, that 53.4% of nonsmoking asian women in the study developed cancer. They titled the graph "Lung cancer among nonsmokers, by race" when it should really be "Nonsmoking among Lung Cancers, by race".

Or do you think between the title, caption, and data, their chart is presented in a way that can be argued is correct? It doesn't seem like it to me.

I think this is better than Stripe’s abstract everything approach even for people who are not into payments. Stripe has built a very leaky abstraction.
Let's not forget Charles Lindbergh in that group either. He was wildly anti-semitic, and spoke glowingly of Hitler frequently, even into the 40s. Maybe it was due to that medal he received from Hermann Gohering.

I’m not sure either side is invested in making sure people are suffering. I do think both sides have differing opinions on what the role of government should be in Americans lives. Neither side is wholly consistent, which is okay. Demonizing “the other” is the root issue. Everyone should stop doing that.
I think that most of the traffic being stolen away is going to be for low value searches. I (and probably almost everyone else) use Google when I already know what I want, ie I’m trying to get to a company’s website to buy a particular thing, but don’t know their url name.

I’m not going to use an LLM to shop for car insurance or look for hotels.
Every President is equivalently, and rightly, castigated by the opposition party over their executive orders.

Every executive order by every President is an abuse of power, as far as I'm concerned.

55/yr for Trump? 44/yr for Biden? No one should be proud of their side.

"Society" in this context can also mean "a tiny number of primarily self-interested individuals". That tends to be evident when the most powerful or influential people also happen to be strict authoritarians.
Thanks.

The paper describes LLM performance on a single, very narrowly prescribed task - compared with (if I am reading correctly) average humans (not trained practicioners in the field).

This is of course very, very far from a validation of these models as being on the whole suitable for use in real-life counseling situations. Involving, you know, real people facing a diverse set of mental health situations and risks.

Look, it's a fine technical achievement, your site. I'm pretty sure also that what I'm saying above is not news to you, and that you're perfectly aware of the current primitive state of these models. And that you're also aware of the fact that none of technology has been formally vetted or approved by anyone in the public health field.

In that sense -- it is really quite irresponsible of you to promote this tool in the way that you're doing it. Especially the language implying this is finished, trusted product ("Trusted AI companion"), and with human-like qualities no less ("is curious, compassionate").

And on top of that, to take people's money for it -- given that these tools can be quite addictive. And you're potentially exploiting people in very difficult situations and with limited financial options.

I know you have other disclaimers, but that's what I mean: These disclaimers are useless when they are contradicted by other statements (such as those above) which say basically the opposite.

That's why the disclaimers come off as -- doublespeak, basically.

You need to really re-think what you're doing here, and why you're doing it.
Nah, parties are bad. They perfectly exemplify the adage about people dedicated to the ostensible mission of the organization vs. those dedicated to the organization as an end it itself. With formalized parties, we often see the strategic concerns of the party as an organization eclipse any coherent policy goals that are the ostensible reason for the party existing in the first place.

Multi-party in particular democracy has some significant pitfalls, including the tendency of marginal and extremist parties to play kingmaker. The historian Hannah Arendt made some salient points about how the multi-party structure of Weimar Germany contributed directly to the radicalization and eventual total control of the state by the Nazis.

Politics will always involve factions forming around shared interests or values, but in a situation without those factions being calcified into formal organizations, or even identities, we'd expect them to be much more fluid and ephemeral, and for politicians to be much more willing to reach across ideological divides without worrying about institutional discipline or being ostracized by the party establishment regardless of their constituents' opinions.

Ranked-choice balloting wouldn't eliminate parties per se, but it would reduce their influence in the electoral process significantly.

> How the hell am I supposed to tell who all these down-ballet no-names are and what they actually believe in?

I'd expect a reasonable voter to investigate the actual candidates on the ballot and make an informed choice, and not merely rely on party affiliation as the only criterion for casting a vote.
"And on June 17, Lacey is scheduled to be sentenced on the one count—international concealment of money laundering—on which the jury found him guilty. It comes with a possible sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison. Lacey plans to appeal his conviction on this count, and there seems like a good chance it will be successful, since the money he allegedly "concealed" was reported to the federal government with all the proper paperwork. But he could still face prison time as that appeals process plays out."

How was he found guilty of concealed money when he reported it to begin with? Then could still serve prison time for it.

AMD hasn't shipped their "high compute" SOMs, so there is little point in building inference around it. Using programmable logic for machine learning is a complete waste, since Xilinx never shied away from sprinkling lots of "AI Engines" on their bigger FPGAs, to the point where buying the FPGA just for the AI Engines might be worth it, because 100s of VLIW cores packs a serious punch for running numerical simulations.

I work on KYC systems at a medium/large sized financial institution. The trend of adding KYC requirements to more and more online services is troubling.

KYC adds a huge burden to anyone trying to offer a service. Implementing KYC imposes significant burdens on service providers due to the complexity of identifying users across different countries and understanding varied regional regulations. You end up outsourcing your KYC to another company. But most KYC vendors don't support all the countries you want to support, so you either end up limiting your service to the service area of your KYC vendor. Or you end up integrating multiple vendors together, which is challenging since vendors generally prefer exclusivity.

If you didn't have an engineering team working on KYC before, you will now. You will likely need to add to or expand your compliance team. Your company will shift either slightly or significantly from being an engineering or product driven company to being a compliance driven company.

KYC raises barriers and entrenches incumbents. Look at financial institutions and porn.

KYC is generally not evidence based policy either [1, 2]. Bad actors get around your KYC requirements, and your KYC system ends up being a hurdle for innocent users. A lot of KYC systems rely on data aggregators (aka the people who buy your personal data), and if you aren't "in the system" either because you are young, poor, or privacy conscious, you are faced with suspicion.

My experience is that anti-fraud systems tend to weed out bad actors better than KYC systems that are mandated in a governmental top down manner.

I don't think anyone is under the presumption that these requirements are bulletproof. The point is to just target one big glaring loophole.

> $50,000/month? That would be almost everyone

It might be almost every individual developer. But that isn't really a huge cloud spend at all for an organization.

But speaking of loopholes, what do you think bad actors would do if you told them that they weren't subject to KYC under a certain dollar amount? lol

Nations are abstractions. Trade involves individuals and businesses. Whatever the US Navy is doing to secure overseas shipping lanes doesn't change the nature of that in any substantive way.
That was before the people most opposed to net neutrality had started lobbying local governments to give them monopoly access and to make it illegal for local governments to try and encourage competition.

Basically I find a good rule of thumb to be: if comcast is against it, it's probably going to improve the lives of everyone via some form of competition between businesses.
This is the correct approach - double license, if you're non-commercial then you'll get GPL/AGPL/etc. and if you're a company and want to use it to make money this way or another then pay up.

A fair approach that provides a way of supporting the people making it and further development.

Never forget Spanish, Portuguese, French, British, Danish, and Dutch, and later, American mercantile colonialism led to the exploitation, suffering, and deaths of ~100 million indigenous and ~15 million African peoples for profits that built the US and Europe and the fortunes of a small cadre of elite landowners.

US colonialism lived on through economic and military interventionism through Manifest Destiny in N America and Monroe Doctrine in the greater Americas for more than 2 centuries, and still continues to meddle to this day. An explicit policy of American military supremacy post-WW2 is one of the fundamental genesises of the Cold War.

Google Search is a product embedded in the lives of everyone on the planet. I wonder to what extent its growth is a reflection of increasing population and Internet penetration. Even if "competitive knowledge engines" impacted Google Search, the effect would likely be minuscule compared to existing growth trajectories.

Speaking personally, there are some queries where I prefer an LLM. But usually I start with Google, and it's only after 5-10 searches that I get frustrated enough to remember I could just ask ChatGPT instead. So ironically, I actually send more searches to Google than I would have if they gave me the answer on the first one.

I wonder what their search metrics would look like if they removed quick bursts of searches. Presumably, someone searching five times in a row is actually having a bad experience, rather than loving the product so much they came back to it five times in one minute.
Layoff is not the same as "fired". Please use the correct terminology in consideration for those who lost their jobs.

Also, the termination dates for those who were laid off in January 2023 would be around April 2023 (the layoff news came earlier due to WARN act), so the employee count as of 2023-03-31 might not include those people. This means a difference of ~10000 can be accounted for by the 2023-01-20 round of layoffs.
in Zuck's 3-minute video on insta, I initially thought he announced there would be Google Play Store, which would very likely imply Google Mobile Services, too.

But I was wrong: Zuck also said "if they (Google) are up for it." If Zuck has to resort to spitballing that idea out loud, I'd say it is far from happening any time soon.

That means HorizonOS is def not an Android equivalent to VisionOS. It's just AOSP plus the Horizon SDK.

Google should do a deal with Meta. But they guard Android with a very risk-averse approach.
Yeah but this should be the same increase in diagnosis amongst other non-smokers, or closer

My hypothesis would be environmental plus genetic, given that our east Asian phenotype population is small and consolidated to small areas of the country. NYC, Socal

Who is leading the race for "critical technologies"?
That's right, and they have, but I still earn enough income to develop and maintain the program. Free redistribution does not hurt my sales because people who would have paid for the program do, and those who wouldn't can end up trying it, a fraction of whom go on to become customers because they want updates and support from the most-trusted source (me).

You'll see a very similar thing elsewhere: illicit file sharing increases box office revenue and increases album sales.

Anyone who wants a no-fee copy of RCU can find it many places by searching. If someone ever extends my program with a cool new feature, their version must be released as AGPLv3+, and that means I can re-incorporate their improvements into my own offering. The market dynamics of free/libre software are such that since I have the reputation, the first-mover advantage, and the top search engine rankings, then anyone looking to compete needs to do so on quality of features -- which I have the license to copy, just as they copied from me. Anyone who wants to compete with me needs to compete with all that.

Anyone who shares my program ends up promoting it in the best way possible, by talking about it and telling others it's good and worth using.

That's an excellent point too. Some payment systems have abysmal technology. The product I worked on was focused on international payments and in a couple cases, the "API" was literally, "Upload a CSV file via FTP, and at some later point, another CSV file might appear on the FTP server with some of the payment results, but if it doesn't, call us because we probably just forgot to upload it."

I think Ben Eater's 8-bit computer is closer to what you want: https://eater.net/8bit/

It's been a few years since I studied it (I even built the clock module, registers and the ALU), but from what I remember the biggest departing point from what you want is that the control logic (from instruction decoding to deciding which sub-units to activate for each instruction) is done with an EEPROM instead of individual logic gates, as described here: https://eater.net/8bit/control

> I'd like to strip that sentence of the LGBT context, and point out that the general line of thinking (that there are legitimate reasons for wanting to kill a group of people's children) is actually popular enough to drive major policy. For example, given the historical record, Israeli society has been conditioned to be okay with murdered children and applying disproportionate and devastating force

Yes, Im aware that this 'Kill their mothers/children' thing was brought to top-level public policy by their recent foreign affairs minister who for the first time publicly and openly used that rhetoric and it helped her career a lot. After this, their prominent politicians seem to have stopped hesitating from openly calling for it and this is the result.
In that case, I submit that the answer is “strawberry” and we can move on to a more interesting question.
Individualism in western countries varies quite a bit. In cross-country scores, Spain has numbers far closer to the middle east than to the US, and then Peru is closer to China than to Spain!

So your invdidualism argument is only strong if by western, you mean the anglosphere, the Netherlands and Belgium.

> I believe a right to privacy once existed, but it was nullified as it formed the basis of the case for Roe V. Wade.

It was kind of the other way around. There is clearly no explicit right to abortion in the constitution, so to find one it would have to be implicit, but the Court in Roe wanted to find one, so they made one up. The reasoning was something like, the constitution implies there is a general right to privacy and laws against abortion violate it. The people who liked the result were then stuck trying to defend its inconsistent reasoning for 50 years, because the same logic would cause all kinds of other laws to be a violation of the same right. Obvious example would be drug prohibition; government invading your privacy by trying to control what you put into your own body. Same logic as Roe.

But Roe was never actually extended to any of that stuff, so overturning it didn't re-enable drug prohibition after it was struck down, since it was (inconsistently) never struck down to begin with.

The cases having to do with anonymous speech are independent and use entirely different logic. The general idea is that people are deterred from speaking (chilling effects) if people can associate what they have to say with a physical person who can then be harassed for expressing an unpopular opinion. It doesn't have any of the same problems because there is no First Amendment right to morphine, which they could ban outright under the same justification as they ban heroin, so having to show your ID to get morphine isn't deterring you from exercising your right to free speech.
You do know that things like hearing aids exist right?

Maybe I did something wrong dividing the clock so it was not stable, but the system I described really works flawlessy.
