You clearly aren’t familiar with GNU or the Free Software Foundation. There’s nothing wrong with that: everybody starts out without being familiar with anything.

In a nutshell, Richard Stallman worked in MIT’s AI lab in the 1970s. The lab had a certain ethos that he loved ( https://www.gnu.org/gnu/rms-lisp.html , https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/stallman-kth.en.html ), but when it became common for software to be sold without the source code, he actually decided to start a foundation to recreate that lab ethos ( https://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.en.html ). A lot of programmers agree with his view that refusing to give users source code, and legal permission to use that source code without restriction, is a terrible afront to freedom.

However, people have spent decades telling Stallman that if they adopted his principles, they couldn’t use their computers in the modern world. Every so often, he makes a declaration about various distinctions (it’s okay to use a computer even though the firmware isn’t free; it’s okay to read documents on the web, but any JavaScript should be treated as a program and you should insist on an acceptable license; he, personally doesn’t own a cell phone, but sees no problem with using somebody else’s non-free phone in a case-by-case basis; etc.). This is simply an extension to enforce one of his rules. Some programmers will feel bad about themselves if they don’t live up to Stallman’s expectations.

Yes, but it’s not always perfect.

I’ve been notified of an “unknown AirTag” while I was home. When I checked the locations it was seen with me, it was a random zigzag within a block or two of my home.

I’m pretty sure what happened is that the AirTag belonged to one of my neighbours, there were some GPS distortions happening that made my phone think it was moving slightly, it kept hearing the AirTag’s signal, and it assumed I was being stalked while wandering near home. This person might have the same thing happening to them.

I suspect that people doing the interviews will do the same thing so they can appear to be an expert in all subject matter.

On the contrary. Unless some AI armageddon happens, humans will be nurtured by AIs like in the movie Wall-E. Totally dependent by it, but a true utopia.
I worry that this tech will amplify the cultural values we have of "good" and "bad" emotions way more than the default restrictions that social media platforms put on the emoji reactions (e.g., can't be angry on LinkedIn).

I worry that the AI will not express anger, not express sadness, not express frustration, not express uncertainty, and many other emotions that the culture of the fine-tuners might believe are "bad" emotions and that we may express a more and more narrow range of emotions going forward.

Almost like it might become an AI "yes man."

People obsess about interviews because they need to do well to get a job to make money so they won't live on the streets. The whole interview process is a total mess these days. Already filled with ML stuff to reject your application before you even get a chance at an in-person interivew.

People already use AI to punch of their resumes to make themselves look more attractive.

Doing great in a FAANG interview is life changing money for people from the lower and lower-middle classes. It can bring up your entire family. The stakes are high, which means people will use every tool to have an advantage.

The interview arms race just got more crazy!
You can call anything you do as a "genuine well-founded harm-minimization strategy", but nobody is out there banning knives and gardening shears and shovels and baseball bats and other tools that can contribute towards "easier violence" because of the cost to society. You either have an absolutist/ideological view on this, or you're willing to compromise. Ultimately its a matter of perception, and then too, some people are easier to convince than others.

Real estate investors earn money largely through rent. The will not price out current residents unless they can attract new residents, perhaps by upgrading their properties. Rising rent is a risk you face as a tenant. You can avoid it by buying, but then you face the risk of falling prices and rising property taxes.

In general, high housing prices are caused by limited supply, not investors.

Voice input makes sense, voicing is a lot faster than typing. But I prefer my output as text, reading is a lot faster than listening for text read out loud.

I'm not sure that computers mimicking humans makes sense, you want your computer to be the best possible, best than humans when possible. Writing output is clearly superior, faking emotions does not add much in most contexts.

In my ChatGPT app or on the website I can select GPT-4o as a model, but my model doesn't seem to work like the demo. The voice mode is the same as before and the images come from DALLE and ChatGPT doesn't seem to understand or modify them any better than previously.
I think this comment is easily misread as implying that this GPT4o model is based on some old GPT2 chatbot - that’s very much not what you meant to say, though.

This model has been being tested under a code name of ‘gpt2-chatbot’ but it is very much a new GPT4+-level model, with new multimodal capabilities - but apparently some impressive work around inference speed.

Highlighting so people don’t get the impression this is just OpenAI slapping a new label on something a generation out of date.
What truly bothers me as a user of both an iPhone, an airtag, and a Samsung, is the seemingly nonexistent option to "ignore this AirTag forever".

Yes, can confirm. I personally know multiple people who have had that exact experience; one just mentioned it last weekend. If they knew in advance they traveled with an extra suitcase full of jeans to sell, not so much for the money, but to make/help friends.

The biggest anti-stalking feature is that the tracker will beep when it's notified when it's moving in proximity with a phone or other device. So obviously it's trivial to create a tracker that doesn't beep.

Your phone can also refuse to send notifications about the location of a nearby tracker if it thinks it's being tracked, but if there are a bunch of other phones nearby that can relay that information there is nothing to stop them from doing so.

And note that if the Empire were to use peer-level ships they would be subject to attrition. The rebels would jump in, ambush one ship with a barrage of fire and jump back out. This can only be defended against by either making the ships powerful enough to pretty much preclude this, or by packs staying close enough together. And if you work with packs you get a certain amount of flexibility but at a higher cost to accomplish the same thing.

There is also the fact that they are fighting with shields and energy weapons. Shields mean the first damage a unit takes doesn't happen, energy weapons mean no heavy hits from small units. An ISD comes through unscathed when attacked by reasonably light forces and can't meaningfully be ambushed. That's a major psychological factor.
The immune system reacts to molecules on the surfaces of cells, not macro-level properties.

And even if you can get the immune system to react to the tumor, it's better if you've removed 99% of it, so that there's less opportunity for the tumor to evolve away from the immune reaction.

(Or, in the likely case that you just slow down growth of the tumor a lot: better to start out at a 99% smaller size).

False. There were one or two towns that implemented opt-in rewards programs, in which you could get benefits like deposit waivers at the local library and other minor perks.

> The law is so vague that I can imagine in practice it's abused for all sorts of things

You're trying to read and interpret a law for yourself - one that you admit you have trouble understanding. Instead of trying to figure out what the legalese means for yourself, read what an expert says. You linked to the law at "China Law Translate," which is a project at Yale run by the guy I recommended earlier: Jeremy Daum. Jeremy Daum has expended a lot of effort trying to explain to the media that the Social Credit System has nothing to do with scoring, that it's mainly aimed at businesses (not private individuals), and that the only way you can be subject to any penalties under the system is if you are sentenced by a court of law under an already existing criminal statute.

I'll give you a very concrete example of how a private individual would actually interact with the Social Credit System. There's an MMA fighter in China who is famous for challenging and then beating up traditional martial artists. He challenged an old master who refused to fight. He then started insulting the old master in public. The old master sued the MMA fighter for defamation and won. The MMA fighter was ordered by the court to pay a fine and apologize, but he refused to do so. This is where the Social Credit System came in, after the guy was sentenced. Because he was in default of a court judgment, the MMA fighter was put on a blacklist, which among other things prevented him from buying high-speed-train tickets.

That's how the system actually works for private individuals. It is nothing like the internet meme about everyone having a score that goes up and down whenever they post an online comment. It's a system that can apply additional penalties to people who default on court judgments, but which mostly deals with corporate regulation. The basic idea is that businesses that have a good track record for obeying regulations and honoring contracts should receive less scrutiny, while businesses that have bad track records should receive additional scrutiny, be barred from getting government contracts, etc.
