From the interview, Zuckerberg was saying the opposite of the idea that we are nearing a dystopian God-AI timeline. He was saying that other AI companies were trying to create a god AI, but that this likely wouldn't be the case realistically. He seemed to be closer to saying that AI companies were overconfident in their beliefs in the possible competitive advantages of their own models.
If Congress lacks expertise on a particular topic then they can front load the process and seek expert input, then write that into the legislation. There's no need to delegate that to the Executive branch for interpretation after the law has been passed. This might slow down the pace of legislation, which would be fine.

In fact that is what we did. Just 50-100 pissed off residents mail and phone bombed the city until we got a response. The inspector made the excuse that he issued the permit months ago. But the filing portal had it on the day after our campaign.

I get legitimate value from ChatGPT on a daily basis. Writing quick one-off regex expressions, or JavaScript to scrape/filter something from a page I'm on (just did that one last night), or to write an ffmpeg command where I can just describe what I want in plain English instead of the old method of cobbling together commands from StackOverflow.

I don't expect it to do anything innovative for me, but it sure saves me time on mindless boring tasks I've done hundreds of times and are much quicker to just describe in English to an LLM.
> Society can't operates if laws change every day

Funny you should mention that. Gorsuch wrote the exact same thing while arguing in favor of overruling Chevron. You can find it by Ctrl+F-ing the string "though the laws do not".

> "Chevron’s fiction has led us to a strange place. One where authorities long thought reserved for Article III are transferred to Article II, where the scales of justice are tilted systematically in favor of the most powerful, where legal demands can change with every election even though the laws do not, and where the people are left to guess about their legal rights and responsibilities"

> SCOTUS is governed by the constitution.

It seems unpopular to point out this morning, but the vast majority of the power SCOTUS currently exercises is not enumerated anywhere in the Constitution. They gave it to themselves. Congress is by design the most powerful branch of the government and they absolutely can dramatically curtail the power of the judiciary if they want to.

I'd advise the folks who are quick with the downvote button to go learn more about the Constitution and in particular Article III. It is really fascinating and you can go down quite the rabbit hole learning about it.

Are these two limitations of rational thought described in the literature:

1. Rational thought takes place in an irrational environment. As much as we try to control for biases, fallacies, heuristics, effects, etc, our evaluation of a scenario is dependent upon our personal history.

2. Rationality is a great tool for breaking things into small parts and describing acting in small steps; but a fundamental error occurs when we 'zoom out' to a system and use those small parts to say something definitive about the whole. In each step 'down', we exclude details not relevant to that scope, but we neglect to add those details back when we consider the system.

AI will certainly not save us from #1 because it will have it's own history.

#2 may benefit from AI, but the people using it will still have great difficulty.

I looked into this previously, though it was a while ago so I no longer have the sources to hand. Nicotine is still addictive on it's own but when given to non-smokers in a non-tobacco form it's notably less addictive than smoking. Still addictive but far closer to coffee than cigarettes.

Some of this can be explained by different consumptions methods. For example in lozenges, gum and patches nicotine enters the bloodstream much slower than smoking or vaping so even if you consume the same overall amount the peak is lower slowing adaption. But that couldn't explain it entirely.

The court seems intent on allowing judge shopping conservatives to gut any even mildly inconvenient law.

Going back to a "balance" where judges interpret law and no one else creates massive ambiguity across courts & greatly degrades any ability to govern. That seems to be the fantasy world that some parts of America desire. And that this court is working towards, hard as it can.

It interprets that only the court gets to allow or deny

Except Chevron was just codification of the status quo that had existed since the founding of the country.

Congress cannot be expected to craft every bit of law and regulation down to the finest detail, and the gridlock that has been congress over the past several decades should make it clear that it's practically impossible. The regulatory power of federal agencies has never been broad and without oversight from other branches - they operate on the authority given to them by Congress.

The executive branch has not just been creating agencies wholesale and giving them sweeping regulatory powers, congress has passed laws creating them and delegating authority to them.

As others have mentioned, you can look at the joke that is the patent system and the absurd games played around the law there to get an idea of what we're in for with this decision. I don't understand how anyone can think that's the place we want to get to for everything else.

This Court seems to be reducing both executive and judicial power, pushing it back to the legislature where it belongs.

But we now have worse representation in the United States than in Communist China, we're an extreme outlier among every OECD country, and this Congress is close to doing literally nothing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acts_of_the_118th_Unit...

So the result will be reducing federal power itself, kicking it back to the States. You know, laboratories of democracy. And now seemingly autocracy and theocracy as well...
Predictable, certainly. Consistent, not so much. They seem to start with a decision and work their way backwards through the reasoning, cherrypicking from a versatile and whimsical set of "principles".

Originalism not cutting it, try textualism, conservatism, or maybe even a little liberalism if you want to spice things up! If none of those are really doing the trick, there's always the "tradition" sledgehammer that you can use for anything you want.
We had three kinds of retros - product(half an year), sprint(monthly), incident(per rotation). Yes product folks join the first one, but definitely not the more frequent engineering retros, which is also where the mentioned issues surface faster, also is taking the most time. How's it like for you?
Right, and those two years are generationally distant. Another question I have is if pilots have a stable mechanism (that is, an unchanged objective sensor or something) that records the CAT or if it’s recorded by pilots, whose sensitivity to CAT might differ over time. Didn’t mention in the article how it’s measured.
And yet, doesn't this give undue authority to the legal branch? like it just makes the legal branch the new administrative state. Reading through Chevron, it seems excessively logical to say that if a rule is vague, you defer to the people who made the rule to interpret it.
Back in 2018, I built a flame graph generator for AppDynamics APM-captured snapshots which are traces of call stacks captured over execution time with stack frame timing. Those would typically come from java or clr, although other types like node and ruby and php were also supported.

My tool could handle one snapshot or hundreds of thousands of them and it was more useful to aggregate many snapshots I used on Brandan Gregg perl script implementation as reference but wrote all the code myself from scratch to produce just what I wanted. One of the more key things I felt was different was was adding color coding of the TYPE of the call frame based off the code namespace - like green for Oracle jdbc driver or blue for websphere entry or light azure for the clr internals. With multiple contrasting colors one could see the important transitions from own code to library code and back to own code.

It was one of the most fun coding challenges I've ever done. Pretty much the only time I had to refactor recursion into stack because some of the call graphs (looking at you java) were so ridiculously deep

Isn’t this really an argument about delegating authority?

Chevron deference is about congress creating administrative agencies and delegating rule making to those agencies.

There isn’t some separation of powers issue here, the idea is that where congress does legislate and an agency makes a reasonable interpretation of a nuance implicit in the law, these rules carry the weight of the law.

For instance, congress mandates that the EPA enforce clean water standards, and the EPA sets parts per million for various dangerous substances. Would it make sense for congress to have to pass new laws each time a new chemical is introduced to our environment?
I think that no one believes killing consumers of these products is a viable solution or that it doesn't have disastrous side effects. What happens with rhinos that die? do we have to collect their tusks and these are rad-waste now?

Making them radioactive with non-penetrating particles might be ok from the standpoint of trying to make them less desirable... but you aren't making them detectable & it is highly controversial to do this.

Do we really not record turbulence sensor data off the airplanes and download it when they’re on the ground?

I’m also surprised that these airplanes have on demand satellite TV streaming to these airplanes but airlines claim that it costs 100k to add that to existing planes. There’s just no way it’s 100k per plane - there must be a cheap way to retrofit the data without having it be reliable since it’s opportunistic. And heck, France is doing it every 4 minutes for their planes so why can’t Americans figure out how to do it.
Show HN: Light CMS with SSO Using Asp.net Core Identity and OpenIdDict
Hello,

For some time now I've been developing a very light and flexible open source CMS(do not expect the Umbraco level of features as this is the first version) that includes an example of how could your mount your own SSO authentication server using ASP.NET Core Identity + OpenIdDict for OAuth 2.0 authentication flows.

It uses as a default the PKCE authentication flow but it is very flexible and can be extended or converted into what you like.

While it is set up to work flawlessly with the rest of Microsoft integrations such as Azure it can be connected/made into whatever you want.

This is also my first public project so I would appreciate any feedback you can give to me.

Thank you :)

Scrum (or Agile, I can’t tell the difference really) kills morale and arguably performance too. It is mostly makework, and leads to more posturing and buzzword usage, which the enterprise already has plenty of. Hard pass from me. Also, sorry if you’re a Scrum or Agile person, but I’ve found that to be a largely bozo position.

> They believe that Congress makes the laws, the Executive branch enforces them, and the Judicial branch interprets them. They believe that the Executive branch and the Judicial branch have been compensating for Congressional failure for too long and they have been very clear that they're intent on undoing that and rolling the system back to how they believe it should be.

If Congress wants to delegate authority for micro-managing things to agencies, why shouldn't they be allowed to do so?

> Kagan cited as one example a hypothetical bill to regulate artificial intelligence. Congress, she said, “knows there are going to be gaps because Congress can hardly see a week in the future.” So it would want people “who actually know about AI and are accountable to the political process to make decisions” about artificial intelligence. Courts, she emphasized, “don’t even know what the questions are about AI,” much less the answers.

If Congress doesn't like where an Executive agency is headed they can further change the Act governing it to clarify things. The guardrails can be set that way, and with-in them agencies—generally subject matter experts—can write and refine regulations as they are needed.

The Executive agencies and departments are created by Congress. US regulatory agencies have authority because it was given to them by The People (through their elected representatives).

The Judiciary seems to be limiting the Legislative here. Is there anything in the US Constitution that says Congress cannot delegate?

It still won't be permanent, but water-slide decals will probably work better than stickers, and about as well as the marker while being more legible. It might also be possible to put a clear coat paint on it that'll help them last longer.

The big advantage over stickers is that they aren't held on by glue, but instead by the plastic that they're made out of conforms to the surface and grips it instead. That said I'm not sure how to make white text for a black keyboard.

One thinks you have never had a really damaging surgery. For obstructive sleep apnea I had the back of my tongue microwaved, my deviated septum repaired, and my uvula and back of throat removed.

Gotta wonder if it would be better to instead focus on making it easier to source keratin from a bioreactor / cell culture. Crash the market with "counterfeit" rhino keratin which is as good as the real stuff anyhow.
I am really not a fan of the current Supreme Court, but this looks to be a good ruling. Agencies get carried away by their power, and this power requires stronger checks by real courts, not by the fake agency courts that always rule in favor of the agency. I make no judgment on how this ruling will be used or abused.
Everyone else has to pay the price that data centers are willing to as well. And they can afford quite high prices before having margin troubles - likely much higher than what we as residents want to pay for energy.
This seems really inefficient though. Do we really want top-down authority of decision making like this? No one would think it was good if in a company where if the rules of how to do your job were vague (and in this case, we're talking about delegated responsibilities), you had to go to the board of directors to get them clarified.

The 'of partner websites' bit seems a bit shoe horned in to try prove some point. It hallucinates URLs for any site, and I don't think the partnerships are relevant here.

I genuinely think it should be a legal liability to make a claim such as "we have strict security measures on the platform to ensure that your personal information and your safety are secured."

First, because they're probably just outright lying to imply they're taking security as a paramount priority. They're likely following minimal guidelines to cover their own asses legally.

Second, because it's physically impossible for them to guarantee data security. It's like making a promise to a child that they're never going to die. A security breach is a matter of probability, not a door you can close and forget about. A society that allows companies to make absolute assurances about security at all is endangering itself. But it also means that levels of security and due diligence are difficult to quantify because we don't even conceive of it as a probabilistic issue.

(I also just watched the new Ashley Madison doc and it's really sticking with me that they made up fake certificates of security while putting virtually no effort into the real thing, and actively chose to play chicken with their users' data when they had the option of closing up shop - an extraordinarily clear case of being blinded by greed, especially as the payout was obviously forfeit if the hackers followed through. Both of these choices should have legally put much of the blame for the fallout and suicides on the CEO.)
