From what I gather in the Federalist Society Papers, the original intent was that we would reinvent our country every 25 years or so, draft a new constitution and incorporate all of the changes that we needed to continue to function with the precept of being a great society, "Of the people, by the people, for the people".

However, requiring 100% of states to affirm the new constitution was difficult enough in 1776 when there were only 13 states and they all had a common enemy to band together against.

Doing that now would probably be impossible or require antilogic so extreme no human could read it without their ears bleeding from the brain hemorrhage.

Ah, so bribery is OK as long as you simply imply you will receive gratuity if you scratch my back (and then receive it afterwards), rather than receiving gratuity upfront in exchange for doing something.

An astoundingly stupid ruling, but one that makes sense when you look at some of the 'gratuity' the current justices have received.
I was among those who received a demonstration email, and I can confirm that DKIM+DMARC+SPF all checked out.

My phone I use for EV statistics monitoring (Ford E-Transit doesn't give you ANY info by default) usually has Wigle.net running in the background. There's a few times I had it up on the screen and called someone by name after they cut me off. It feels a lot like seeing NAME's iPhone all over wifi networks except its NAME's <GM PRODUCT>
I thought it was being ironic. That on SNL he's competent and gets stuff done. Even if those things are shady and questionnable. And as a teen who didn't know shit about anything that's the impression it made on me. And frankly that's the point I was making. Not that Reagan was competent, but rather that Phil Hartman did a good job at portraying him as competent. If you just see the skit for what it is, Phil Hartman had a lot of dialogue to deliver with precision and skill. Especially when you compare with other performers. Fast forward to a decade later and you got Jimmy Fallon who can't utter one line without cracking up

>I get pretty annoyed when people lie to me to sell me something even if it's obvious they're lying.

Exactly. When companies put out half-baked products to try to ride a hype wave, they're betting on idea that their customers are idiots with the same low standards. Companies need to hold themselves accountable and have enough respect for themselves and for customers to not inflict crap onto the world.
That allows the government to censor at will by censoring on the policy level, by making Facebook adopt government-demanded policies. Since it is always possible that Facebook could have come up with the same policy anyway by coincidence, it's never possible to trace any specific act to the government censorship.
Is it just me or did gen AI allow companies to cheat a lot more with their demos/showcases? I feel like there’s absolutely no way to tell if what’s shown is representative, cherry-picked or outright faked. I mean, it’s non-reproducible by nature, so it even gives plausible deniability to unscrupulous marketing departments.

I’d rather watch a YouTuber or streamer do a real project in a tool too see if and how it works in practice.

Had something similar happen to me before. Was driving down a main street that went through the edge of a college campus. A student on the side of the road, not at an intersection, decided to cross the road not too far in front of me.

It didn't even make sense to cross there, as I had just barely driven under a walkway that crossed above the street specifically for students to cross that street safely too. (I attended that college too. The walkway is more convenient than what they did). Surprised the hell out of me.

I had just barely enough time to realize what was going on and swerve around him. If my reaction time was just slightly less or I did the wrong thing in the moment I would have hit him head-on and either severely injured or killed him. I believe the speed limit was 35mph there, so I was likely going just over that.

That was like 15 years ago at this point, and it still bothers me how close I came to hitting him. I can only imagine how much worse it is for your friend.

Typically with an LLM you would tokenize strings in a batch and use attention masks to run inference in parallel.

OpenAI must have some similar capability. Looks like they have a batch API.
Yes, it's not "vexing" when you look around. I'm glad there's data out there as proof as well.

Unfortunately, I don't think much will happen on a policy front. US manufacturers are no longer building sedans and are focused on crossovers (which all look and act the same) and trucks. There's even an electric Hummer now which, I don't know, seems to miss the point. No one of anyone political party will go against what the car industry is doing (see all the bailouts across the years) because it's almost as untouchable as Wall Street in terms of looking like you're supporting blue collar jobs programs, union jobs, etc. even if it has a negative effect on society.

In a post earlier in the week, someone pointed out the CAFE regulations. That might be the best route.

The other side of it is designing cities that have safer streets. Here in LA, that means painting a lane and throwing up some plastic pylons vs actual time, money, and effort to reduce the amount of travel on streets and the speeds we can get up to.
This comes as a bit of a surprise, since Intel supposedly sold off their silicon photonics company last fall to Jabil? https://www.theregister.com/2023/10/31/intel_silicon_photoni...

This initial chip is going PCIe (and presumably eventually CXL or maybe UCE)... From Intel's press release:

> This first OCI implementation is a 4 Tbps bidirectional chiplet compatible with PCIe Gen5, supporting 64 lanes of 32 Gbps data in each direction over 10’s of meters, realized as eight fiber pairs each carrying eight DWDM wavelengths. Looking beyond this first device, the platform has line of sight to 32 Tbps chiplets.

I do wonder what would have happened if OmniPath hadn't been cancelled. Intel needed to get a lot faster, but at the time 100Gbit for very little extra $$ and being on chip seems so so excellent. As an Infiniband like it's low latency RDMA seemed so excellent. Feels weird seeing this swing back around, half a decade latter. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-omni-path-200-fabric...
In a quintessential example of late stage capitalism you can pay a service to get you to the front of the line. They DDOS the irs phone lines and give every available slot to a paying customer. At the expense of making it impossible for normal people to get through. This behavior is not treated as illegal or abusive by the powers that be.
Right. There is certainly a component of risk in the models but there’s also “how valuable a credit consumer are you”.

Which is why things like closing accounts or paying loans early actually hurt your score. CRAs and their advocates say “we lost a datapoint so our uncertainty increases”, acting as if that historical data has no value.

When I was applying for a mortgage and my credit was as “clean” as it has been (balances, accounts, etc.) Verizon filed a collection over what was a fraudulent account. Score dropped 140 points. In the course of three business days that collection was deleted, and my score went back up… 50 points.

Multiple factors, I know, but that also makes me think that even some of those deleted trade lines and delinquencies and others are still floating around and factoring in.

Because it's an easy political win. Whichever side you're on, you can present it as the end of the world if you lose. Either you're killing millions of babies or you're putting women in shackles.

In reality most people want some kind of compromise on it. But the extremes get the voters out. Certainly the anti-abortion voters turn out in droves. (Abortion rights voters are kind of wishy-washy about it.)

Most actually kind of liked the compromise that Roe put in place. But it was an easy thing to attack, and to demonize their opponents about. So they did.

I think part of the issue is that the data are so sparse and variable. We are talking less than a thousand drives with an incident vs the tens of millions that take place in that city to no incident. If we go from say 100 to 120 deaths in a year, are we really seeing an increase or are we merely seeing the typical variability for a rare event?

Oh dear, USA; you have a real problem with your Supreme Court enacting precedents for things that are clearly not in the interest of a succesful USA.

The Supreme Court is supposed to be the last-resort, the fail-safe, the watcher of the US legal system. But somehow it has become infected with partisan BS and now we have to wonder Who watches the watchers? How do we get out of this mess?
But none of these problems are relevant to GPL vs AGPL, they apply equally to both. Seriously, just diff the text of both licenses - the only difference is article 13, which is very clear and unambiguous:

It reminds me of when years ago I disabled watch history on YouTube and I realised that with that, recommendations became significantly worse, which in turn made me watch YouTube less, and have a tighter control, through subscriptions, on what YouTube recommends me. By making YouTube worse, I made my YouTube experience better.

Now I always pay attention to these kinds of things to see how can I get more control over personalised recommendations if I can't avoid them

Yes, that's definitely part of the problem. How do you evaluate the overall goodness of an organization that does thousands of things, some helpful, some harmful?

Hmmm. My software compiles itself 'without human intervention' when I click the compile button (ignoring the thousands of hours of work I put into writing the code and the even larger amount of work that went into creating the compiler).

Are you in California? Just curious as this is the experience in LA but didn't know how widespread nationally things have deteriorated.
From your NJ article:

> Hoboken director of transportation and parking, Ryan Sharp, said the city had deployed a number of initiatives to make certain intersections and roads safer — things he called quick implementation, high impact solutions.

> "Things like trying to improve sightlines at corners by doing what we call daylighting," he said. "So that can be installing something as simple as what we call a vertical delineator post or a flexible bollard. These posts get installed within 25 feet of crosswalks, and they physically restrict cars from parking right up against a crosswalk."

> "One thing that you won't see is something called a leading pedestrian interval," Sharp said. "And basically, what that means is we've programmed our traffic signals to give pedestrians a few-second head start when they get into the crosswalk during their pedestrian phase without having to worry about turning vehicles."

Designing roads to accommodate pedestrians! Love to see it!
GPT-4 is “holy shit, this actually works, could be better but it’s so good I almost can’t believe it” while GPT-3.5 is “when it works it’s pretty great, just a pity it almost never does”.

So I would assume that three letter agencies would love to take something like GPT-4 and fine tune it based on all the data they have about existing terrorists.
Another reason not to get involved with crypto.

People kept telling me, "These companies have billions of dollars invested in them, they're rock solid, its a great investment." And then you keep seeing these crypto companies who are valued in the billions continually going under and taking investors money with them.

I've always admired what crypto was aiming to achieve, but stuff like this hinders their effort for people to take this stuff seriously and get involved.
> Whatever Pagespeed or Lighthouse might say, we haven't found minification to be a big benefit when we turn it on.

Minify CSS Potential savings of 20 KiB
Minify JavaScript Potential savings of 82 KiB

The benefit is less data going over the wire. I get it--100 KiB doesn't sound like much these days, especially given the page weight of almost 800 KiB. But it's still an extra 100 KiB that doesn't need to be transferred and it adds up over time.

If you minimized your code and did a few more optimizations, you're talking about a more significant amount of data you could be saving your viewers.

> Sometimes you need to be specific. You don't establish that that CSS is unnecessary to achieve the goal.

That selector and the many others like it is a sign of poor CSS architecture. If your design results in you having to be that specific, it means you're doing something wrong.

It's a classic case of fighting the cascade instead of having it work for you. If there was an architecture (like ITCSS or OOCSS for example) [1], you wouldn't need to write such a deeply nested selector in the first place and the dozens more just like it.

Creating reusable components in CSS would reduce the amount of code dramatically and make it much easier to maintain.

People are missing a key insight about channels, which is that close is a write. Typically, you want one piece of code reading, and another piece of code writing, and that's where their code goes wrong. A panic is appropriate in this case, as it's always a bug.

The underlying feature that people are looking for is a TCP-like "either side can kill the other side" feature. This is what contexts are.

func read(ctx context.Context, c <-chan any) {
for {
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
return
case x, ok := <-c:
if ok {
fmt.Println(x)
} else {
return
}
}
}
}

func write(ctx context.Context, c chan<- any) {
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
close(c)
return
case c <- i:
}
}
}

In this example, the type system prevents the read function from writing to the channel (avoiding the panic in the writer if the reader were to close the channel), and the context causes both sides to exit cleanly. You can plumb in the cancel function returned from context.WithCancel/context.WithCancelCause to allow the reader to kill the writer. (Incidentally, the reason you have to do this is because context.Done() is type <-chan, not type chan, so you can't just close(ctx.Done()).)

The writer can still kill the reader by closing the channel, because closes are writes.
Don't forget the USCIS. It takes a lot of time, patience, and skill to navigate the phone tree in a way that doesn't either end the call immediately, or tell you to visit the website and then end the call.

> Claude offers a wide range of potential applications for government agencies, both in the present and looking toward the future. Government agencies can use Claude to provide improved citizen services, streamline document review and preparation, enhance policymaking with data-driven insights, and create realistic training scenarios. In the near future, AI could assist in disaster response coordination, enhance public health initiatives, or optimize energy grids for sustainability. Used responsibly, AI has the potential to transform how elected governments serve their constituents and promote peace and security.

> For example, we have crafted a set of contractual exceptions to our general Usage Policy that are carefully calibrated to enable beneficial uses by carefully selected government agencies. These allow Claude to be used for legally authorized foreign intelligence analysis, such as combating human trafficking, identifying covert influence or sabotage campaigns, and providing warning in advance of potential military activities, opening a window for diplomacy to prevent or deter them.
