The poster has a point though in that the government is the Ur-legal-fiction. What ends up being a problem with any subsequently spawned legal fictions will necessarily be an issue with Government.

That being said, you're absolutely correct, and I don't think that it is on you to solve the Government level issue, and there is nothing about the Government level issue stopping us from slapping some additional constraints on legal fictions it spawns. The devil, however, is in the implementation details; many of which tend to cross increasingly hairy and controversial lines.

Things like limits on freedom from compelled speech for corporations with regard to privately funded research. Revocation of trade secrets (therein tend to lay the fertile ground for corruption). Mandatory recordkeeping practices that start violating the human dignity of everyone to be free from constant scrutiny, as it is only with complete comms records that one could actually piece together the facts of what happened; which still runs into the issue of criminals gonna crime; so what you effectively do is partition your population into two groups. Those that aspire to comply, and those deadset on success even at the risk of non-compliance.

Firsthand experience: If you have warts that aren't resolving and finally get a better diagnosis than "hypochondriac" for other health issues, this may help you sort out how to finally fix the warts.

Inference: If you have persistent, treatment-resistant warts, wonder what else is wrong that you can't seem to fix it.

The US has a defined benefit pension called Social Security. It is relatively generous compared to retirement pensions in other countries. A defined contribution plan like 401k is in addition to this pension; most developed countries also have something similar. In this regard there is nothing unique about the US.

E.g. this tool from Berkeley lets you select (but not deep link ...) by major and see median salary by year.

https://career.berkeley.edu/start-exploring/where-do-cal-gra...

- EECS goes from $116 in 2018-2019 to $129K in 2022-2023

- CS goes from $118K in 2018-2019 to $135K in 2022-2023 (I'm actually surprised that this is slightly higher than EECS, given that I think it's supposed to be the easier option).

Of course data from 2023-2024 grads won't be available for some time. But my point is that 75k would be like a 40% drop of median salaries. Is the dip really at that scale from last year's grads to this year's?

I'm glad that the man 'charging toward someone with a knife' was apprehended with facial recognition technology. In general I favor its use for catching violent criminals.

'Austin police officers have received the results of at least 13 face searches from a neighboring police department since the city’s 2020 ban — and have appeared to get hits on some of them, according to documents obtained by The Post through public records requests and sources who shared them on the condition of anonymity.
“That’s him! Thank you very much,” one Austin police officer wrote in response to an array of photos sent to him by an officer in Leander, Tex., who ran a facial recognition search, documents show. The man displayed in the pictures, John Curry Jr., was later charged with aggravated assault for allegedly charging toward someone with a knife, and is currently in jail awaiting trial. Curry’s attorney declined to comment.'

From what I gathered, they Photoshopped a CAD drawing and changed numbers around (and not far presumably) — I’m not sure why that is too surprising given that the manufacturer is building it off the measurements and not literally the scale of the actual drawing?

(And given that drawings used to be hand drawn with pencil and paper, you have way more ton of precision control in a non-linear tool like Photoshop that gives you precise measurements than some rulers and those types of tools.)
While I am concerned about the rm -rf possibility and that's what my initial comment was about, it's not the only concern.
I'm also concerned ChatGPT will return a ffmpeg command that is functional but suboptimal, creating a product that's subtly wrong. For example, a slideshow that's subtly misordered, a video file that's 10x the size it needs to be, compromised audio quality, or a video that runs fine on my PC but has poor portability (video players can be surprisingly finicky). When I look up ffmpeg commands on stackexchange, there's always feedback on any suggested command that explains what's wrong with it and what a better solution is. Often the first solution will work, but maybe only with certain ffmpeg distributions or there are major caveats to the result.

I do appreciate the container solution, since it's generalizable to other ai-powered tools in this class.
To add on to the above - in the grand scheme of things Google probably does not care about foreign political influence. It's likely the US government has politely asked them to maintain service in Russia.

> So I don't really see how the DA is that relevant.

Because only they are the one with the power to actually act on this and pursue charges. They are supposed to validate the facts before proceeding, but here they just take the word of hertz without any evidence (since hertz's systems are messed up as you say so they don't have any idea what's where) and run with it, accusing innocent people.

The DA is the one with the power to tell hertz to produce credible evidence or go pound sand. But they don't.
The higher the surface area, the higher the risk. Either browser engines maintain two separate methods for creating the URL object, or they use the same base function that's called in two different ways. If someone writes optimised code for one, they can easily forget to keep the other into account.

It's easier to secure a JIT with 100 methods than it is to secure a JIT with a thousand.
My counterpoint is that it takes time for someone to become productive in a tech job. In my pocket of the industry, I'd say as long as 3-9 months. In fact, in that time the employee is a time sink: you get less done as you're still onboarding the employee.

So if they are going to leave after a year, that's a big disincentive to hire, regardless of how they are at problem solving.

Sure, there's good reasons to leave quickly, but if these stack up, I'm inclined to pass.

Also as a US citizen I am totally unsurprised to hear about multiple law enforcement agencies continuing to conspire with eachother to violate rights and break laws with no consequence.

I would love to see a federal ban on any law enforcement using facial recognition for the near term at least until it becomes much more accurate. This, abolition of qualified immunity, mandated body cameras and the demilitarization of departments would be a great step in making this country safer.
> this description misrepresents Relativism

The position I have outlined is fairly standard and commonplace; that it is different from the view you call ‘relativism’ does not mean that I have misrepresented you, since I did not in fact intend to characterise your specific view.

> It’s not that there are no facts to discover, but that whatever you discover is a mental construct that is mediated by how you think about it.

If the ‘mediation’ in question is sufficiently strong, whatever is discovered is not, on the usual reading of ‘fact’, really going to consist in facts.

> This ‘nihilism’

is not standardly called nihilism. Those standardly called metaphysical nihilists in the literature tend not to be relativists; in insisting on their position in the debate, they usually think that the debate is meaningful.

In the later section of your comment, the sort of mind-dependence to which you advert is unclear. One reading is that you think that the process of intellectual enquiry as we perform it is mind-dependent because it takes place in our minds; this much I think is quite plausible. Another reading is that you think that any criteria of success (e.g., correctness) will also be mind-dependent, which is fairly close to Berkeley’s idealism, in that, if Berkeleyan idealism is denied, there will presumably be mind-independent facts (up to translation schemata) that we can get right or wrong. I do not intend to debate whether Berkeleyan idealism is true, but it is certainly different from what is typically taken to be metaphysical relativism in the metametaphysical literature.

Several years ago I had a wart on a finger. I used Compound W Nitro Freeze on it (not the other Compound W which is salicylic acid). So basically an at-home OTC cryotherapy. It only needed one treatment, and the wart fell off a few days later and never recurred.

A year or two after that, I got a plantar wart on my foot. I gave it the same treatment with the same result: the wart fell off within a week.

In both cases, the treatment was painless, with no apparent damage to other tissue and no scarring. Needless to say, I recommend this stuff. Be sure to read the instructions thoroughly before using.

No, the pertinent part was having a ritual. There’s a little understood pathway in the brain and immune system where you can will your body to attack the virus that causes warts.

There’s another cure that involves tracing it on paper and burning the paper every day until the wart is gone.

The last time I had a wart, I decided to cut it out because I was so sick of having it on a tender part of my finger. I know for sure I didn’t get the base of the wart, but within a week both that wart and my other tiny wart were gone. I just finally had enough of the freeloader and my body got the message.

Postel's law should not be applied so broadly, and certainly shouldn't be used as an argument against further validation of inputs.

Garbage inputs are the responsibility of the sender, not the receiver. You can and should accept a small margin of error in inputs where errors may logically appear, but if the receiver accepts too much error then it becomes responsible by creating a complicit norm. If the responsibility of error remains on the sender then introducing further validation is less likely to cause breakage in communication.

Coding Cells – Computational Tools for Protein Design
Ancient cultures relied on observation-based trial-and-error knowledge passed down from generation to generation, mostly involving people dying. They didn't have to understand the causes in order to be correct about the effect. E.g., if you eat raw meat that's been sitting there a while, you get sick and might die. How do we know? Because X and Y people died after eating it. But if you cook it, you don't get sick and don't die. How do we know, because A and B people cooked it and didn't die. Thus -> cook meat. Why? Who knows what unscientific reasons they would give (likely superstitious ones). But "discoveries" of this sort were passed down, in the same way that they discovered which mushrooms not to eat (by people dying when they ate them).

Same applied to which local sources of water were safe to drink (i.e., people didn't die when they drank from there), and whether fermented drink (i.e., beer) was safer than water.

Correction -- at least for Challenger, engineers did not think there was margin, and argued against the launch.

At the technical level, both tragedies were caused by design flaws. Organizationally and culturally, multiple factors contributed, but an attitude of "nothing has happened yet, so this is fine" (normalizing risk) was a major one.
The inference engine Watson is still out there. Branding of IBM's Generative AI entry is branded watsonx [1]. Pushed aggressively internally, widespread high-impact production traction-driven cash gushing accounts remain elusive, but because it is a CEO focus story to sell to shareholders, it will remain protected until a critical mass of shareholders figure out the ground truth.

Unless the CEO can raise more debt and raid cash more than he has already by at least an order of magnitude, I'm puzzled how they even have the cash firepower to hire the right staff at the right scale and support them with the right infrastructure to compete with the current GenAI leaders, and IBM possibly might take the "package for enterprise" road instead of trying to beat everyone else to the bleeding edge. Not nearly as capable, but reliable enough in operation the lawyers and insurers can understand it enough to slap indemnity stuff all around it.

Oh dear. My stock, clean Windows install with its default config absolutely poops the bed when trying to perform basic search/retrieval tasks (I'm talking things like launching an app I started to type the name of after hitting the windows key). Whenever I've dug into what it's doing, I've found it busy doing more important things like indexing my temp directories, or node_modules, or ensuring that all of my malware service executables are eliminated.

It's a nice headline feature but I really can't see it having a positive impact on the default Windows user experience.
