Most of what you believe about the world comes from Art whether it's syllogisms and parables, geometry and architecture, symbols and the integrity of rituals, or even the consequences of war, these are all Art. AI really is different, as if it's made of language, we're going to be able to simulate it. A lot of what we called art is ceasing to cohere meaning when we can generate it as a representation for nothing.

the question to me is, if art is a way for people to scratch out a bit of dignity and meaning in this life by finding and expressing something essential, what is it about AI that is so obviously in opposition to that value?

we don't like to talk about dignity because it shows some materialist beliefs as hollow artifacts of narrative that we can now simulate with some python scripts- but it's becoming suddenly urgent. What is still Art in an age of AI will likely form the map of what is still essential human dignity and experience vs. simulated experiences.

It sounds handwavy, but consider that if AI persuades people nothing is essential, then nothing is true or actually means anything, then there is no ethical backstop against atrocities and "state of nature," stuff. "Real Art" is the canary for that, imo. I'm not against AI or anything, but I do think it is suddenly on artists to get their shit together and demonstrate some essential humanity, or they will just be consumed by those with the reins of AI who would seek to deprive us all of it.
I take your point, but quick action is occasionally necessary. Presidents knowing that their actions could be second guessed are more likely to use the minimum force needed to achieve an objective.

AppX packages got a bad rep as well for a couple of reasons. Lots of new footguns when dealing with them or trying to remove them for imaging / mass deployment scenarios.

I'm pretty sure that the argument would be that extensions of current LLM and ML techniques could be the solution to the problem of AGI.

And all evidence actually points toward human reason as an incredibly inefficient and horrifyingly error-prone approach, that only got as far as it did because we're running 8.1 billion human minds in parallel.

While evidence suggests that human reasoning uses a fundamentally different approach, it remains to be seen whether human reasoning uses a fundamentally superior approach.

Indeed. The US constitution envisages impeachment by Congress as the first step to a criminal conviction.

Trump was acquitted by the Senate for his conduct on Jan 6. It’s OK to disagree with the acquittal but it did in fact happen.

Ultimately it’s really hard to design a constitution that is effective in opposing half of the population. You can’t solve mass social issues with laws.
Would this approach work for Big Tech companies and Behavioural interviews like Google or Meta?
> Please don't project what I said here onto trump, Biden or Obama

Technically the US is in this predicament because one of them wanted his vice president to not name a successor, after mentioning several times during his presidency that he wanted a third term.

Just because he's a bad wannabe dictator, it doesn't mean he's not a wannabe dictator. He even said so himself, "just for one day".
Seems to be in HTML5 as well.

https://html.com/tags/object/

One thing that seems to get lost in modern programming is the JS frameworks arose in a time where HTML5+/CSS were also growing to gain some of those capabilities.

For example, Web Components, Web Sockets, etc., are all pretty capable assuming it's a feature implemented in the browsers.

In a recent project / prototype, the task was to build video capture and playing from scratch in html/ vanilla javascript. It was surprising how far it got compared to the libraries and frameworks out there.

In the end, there were some tradeoffs to both but the consensus was no one had every considered HTML/JS alone could do it (even though js frameworks use.. js).

Javascript30.com is a handy spot for new to JS developers to learn Javascript how I think it should be learned. First Vanilla, then Libraries, then Frameworks, in that order. Each helps fill in the "why" of the next.
Yes of course. But wrt trust, it's vital for the specification! If the tests are good enough, the implementation is an implementation detail!

Because they're not conservative. They are radical reactionaries, to use the word that Moldbug himself coined. Essentially Republicans got tired of things changing despite their conservatism, got angry, and now it's not enough to slow change - they want to rewind us to the values of the 1980's or even the 1950's. This perspective is why they refer to any post-y2k mainstream social values as "activism".

The Democrats have now become the conservative party. Both in the abstract of wanting slow cautious change, and in the concrete principles that have long been held as conservativism - belief in American institutions, strong foreign policy to spread those institutions, the rule of law, and now even fiscal responsibility with having led the pull up from ZIRP!

I think your issue is that you are just a pessimist and aren't able to, or don't want to understand the optimist's viewpoint.

> With regard to, say, global warming, I would say it's rationally undeniable the future will be worse than the past, and the biggest problem isn't a lack of optimism in the present but rather a lack of pessmism in the past.

Life is primarily about problem-solving.

From a quantified perspective, the world is improving over time. There is less suffering now than in the past. This progress is driven by optimists who put in the effort to make the world better.

We constantly face problems to solve, both on a personal and global scale. Even as the world improves, there will always be significant challenges to address.

Despite your passive-aggressive swipes at Elon, he has done much more than you or I for the betterment of the planets. He's made EVs and renewable energy mainstream.

> We've known about global warming for many many decades but have done almost nothing to stop it.

What are you talking about? The world has done a lot to combat global warming. Just a few things:

- Paris Agreement

- Kyoto Protocol

- Significant investments in wind, solar, and hydro-electric.

- Drastically improved energy efficiency standards and regulations for buildings, vehicles, appliances, and industrial.

- Increased focus on large-scale reforestation and conservation.

- Development of carbon capture technologies.

- EV advances

- Public awareness programs and grassroots movements.

- Carbon and energy taxes

PS: I assume you are "lapcatsoftware" Jeff? Because your pessimism is so signature? I encourage you to try and look at the bright side of things, if only for your own benefit.
Good point!

I'm not sure if there are any databases that do your 'with a lot of care' option, but for anyone curious about what that might look like in practice there are file systems that forgo write-ahead logging and maintain metadata consistency using techniques like soft updates[0] or copy-on-write up to a root[1].

It’s also likely that the project 2025 people will have almost every federal employee declared a political appointee which would give any sitting president the power to fire any prosecutor prosecuting him. This was one of the OMB changes Trump made at the end of his last presidency.
I was just told that they American PMs there have limited power, autonomy, ability to get information, etc. It's very top-down, need to know, they have a culture where if you start to give #s on something during a meeting a representative from the legal department might cut you off and tell you to stop speaking because leadership cannot be allowed to know that info. (Take a guess why)
It's extreme to the point of silliness. If a court decides that would fall under "official acts", we are already doomed.

+15 years of professional experience mainly with Python

+4 years of hands-on technical leadership

I'd love to work with Haskell and Nix (my side projects use them), although I've been using Python professionally for about 10 years. I like to get my hands dirty and have always worked with things like CI/CD pipelines, provisioning VMs, and so on (for example, I've been using Docker since 2013). I'm used to complicated code bases that need serious improvement.

I've got a lot of side projects visible on GitHub at https://github.com/noteed/ and https://github.com/hypered/. One of them is https://slab-lang.org/.

Please contact me at noteed at gmail.com.
So this good advice until you need templates, which you need if you want for example syntax highlighting (include the css and the js file which parses code). From there, it's all a nightmare of having to re-sync every template change and it becomes not worth it.
It can replace/alter <head> tag too yes.

I'd have to test if it works locally without a webserver.

With a web server like the embeded Python or PHP webserver, it works everywhere.
> Livestock accounts for somewhere between 10-20% of global greenhouse gas emissions

livestock returns back CO2 captured by plants + transportation cost. So, transportation cost part is not CO2 neutral if they use fossils(very likely) and needs to be estimated.
Yeah, this pearl-clutching about presidents being tried for criminal acts is loathsome. I think quite a lot of people believe that quite a few past presidents are guilty of war crimes, and that there should be real consequences for those crimes. My knowledge of history in this regard more or less begins with the Vietnam War: since 1955, I am not aware of a single president who hasn't ordered acts that are crimes against humanity. And throughout that time period, our crimes against humanity have brought ruin to much of the world. Perhaps presidents should fear the law.
The issue is that presidents can be prosecuted even if they likely didn't break the law. It would be possible to just keep throwing bullshit charges at a former president either until one sticks or until their resources to fight off an unending string of legal battles is exhausted. It does make sense that the bar to prosecute someone should be higher when they are particularly likely to be the subject of malicious prosecution and the fear of such would interfere with them carrying out their duties.

The issue is that blanket immunity for official acts is not just raising the bar, it's launching it into orbit. Not only can a president not be prosecuted for questionable decisions or on scant evidence, they can not be prosecuted when their crimes are heinous and obvious so long as it is plausibly within their domain.
Why are actions being taken against military targets outside of a declaration of war?
Is there a difference? Legally? Both would be official acts, right?

The argument they are making in the full context is that you can use the Nixon tapes admitting to the crimes in question, but you cannot use tape of Nixon discussing with his advisors the legality of such crimes.

A counter example is that we have recordings of JFK planning and discussing the legality of Operation Northwoods, but simply discussing or planning a potential crime is not a crime in itself.
In the case in question, the former. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki
Do you mean beyond what's written in the decision itself? Do you have a specific criticism of what was written by the justices themselves?
Except the ruling doesn't say that.
The impeachment process only applies to a sitting president. Once they're out of office, the threat provided by an impeachment is gone.

More specifically, the role of the house impeachment and senate hearing is removal someone from office. That's it. There's no potential for punitive action (fines, jail, etc).
I think that’s the argument, yes. I think it’s facially a bad one when you consider all the examples of functional police that lack QI. Makes me skeptical that it’s a good faith argument.
It’s valuable precisely because it’s relatively low frequency, which means it works for things that need to punch through buildings.
> It had armed gangs, both right and left-wing, fighting in the streets

See: 2020 in the US.

> completely failed monetary policy

See printing off a lot of money to deal with an emergency because the US hasn't had a meaningful conversation about revenue since 1993 when George HW Bush went back on "read my lips"

> sky-high level of corruption

You have people on this court accepting vacations and gifts from people who are wishing to push a certain political viewpoint on the court. They just ruled this was okay, too, by neutering a federal anti-bribery statute. Money is considered protected political speech.

There are a lot of parallels between Weimar Germany and the current state of the USA. More than anyone should feel comfortable with.
How well did that work previously?
> However, there is a history of Republicans increasing government regulation on private businesses

They also like regulating people's private lives. Who you can marry, who can have kids, who can use birth control, who can go to pornhub.com, who you can have sex with, what sex positions you're allowed to use, what books you can read, what you can teach in schools, what meat you can eat, etc.
That is _technically_ correct (the best kind). There's some plumbing between conhost and Terminal we need to clean up before we can add it to Terminal too. We've got a branch ready, we've just got to merge a whole stack of PRs first before we can get there.

> it goes from collectible to paperweight

That's what OP is confused about - why anyone would buy an experimental car without knowing it has potential to be worthless. The lack of parts on a novelty ice car has the same issue when the company folds.
Good question!

The pressure differential, in essence, is created by a faster airflow over the airflow. As the total pressure in your flow stays constant, if you increase the local dynamic pressure (with a faster flow), the local static (measurable) pressure decreases.

So if you manage to shape your airfoil so that one surface experiences a faster flow (on average) than the other, you can create a pressure difference, and therefore lift.

And in effect it is true that the gas will most probably need to be turned and displaced, but that is really the airflow adapting locally to the obstacle (airfoil) it encounters. The nose of the airfoil, where the acceleration is high, can be a place where a lot of lift is created, but it is not necessarily so.

You can see example pressure distribution plots below:

> but the harm can be stopped by the states.

If we refuse to recognize that harm under the current Rule of Law, then who is going to identify and prosecute "harm" besides politically motivated ideologues? It sounds like a surefire way to cement the separation of the Executive office from it's respective checks and balances.
Why does it take 52 seconds of CPU time to serve 275 gopher requests? That’s a couple orders of magnitude more than I’d expect.
No, Trump was a candidate, not President at the time of most (all?) of those crimes. They also yeah probably can't be considered official acts even by _this_ Court.

Y'know, the president has very convenient authority for just this kind of thing. Something about drones and strikes? Would be a shame if when people tried to impeach the president he exercised his qualified immunity to convince them that it's a Bad Idea.
In practice the court will say whatever POTUS tells it to say, lest an 'official act' remove some of the members of the court and their loved ones.
We've got only a very limited understanding of exactly how the current climate works. We have (and have had for a very long time) crude understanding that more CO2 == more energy from the sun retained == more hotter overall.

We've got a Chesterton's fence here with our existing climate as it was between a long time ago and 1940. Sure, sometimes it gets too cold and sometimes it gets too hot, but it's mostly something we've gotten used to.

Once we get into a situation where all sorts of enormous systems with enormous inertia get out of whatever balance they've been in until now change, we're off into radically uncharted territory. It's not something we should gleefully jump into just to see what happens.

We're dancing on a cliff in the fog, we may even be wile e coyote dancing on a cloud.

"mad max" is "turn off all fossil fuels"

"venus" is an example of what can happen with too much CO2 in the air

One of those is actually a fictional thought experiment, the other's actually quite real. The magnitude of how bad the real one is is pretty terrible.. I guess I should just trust you that we can't possibly become venus; is 1/100th of venus tolerable?

"Between madmax and venus" is the path we (civilized, happy people) need to follow over the next 100 years. Hopefully it's a pretty broad path.
