That said, it's obvious that you have your history and you won't be separated from it

Even with a cherry picked list, you've provided no evidence that the Constitution gave the states any significant power. Indeed, you've grossly misrepresented the only case you could find that even touched upon states powers:

- Cooley v. Warrens does not hold that states can regulate interstate commerce. It rules that they can regulate intrastate commerce that implicates interstate commerce so long as the regulation does not conflict with federal regulations governing that interstate commerce.

That's probably for the best. You wouldn't have won this argument since history isn't on your side.

In Santa Barbara there is a group that targets random businesses; random shops and restaurants with outdoor eating.

It sucks for the business, it sucks for their clients, it sucks for random people walking by on the street.

I'm all for limiting the unchecked authority we give police, we need to end qualified immunity, etc. But we should take the problem on directly. And I'm all for filming cops who abuse their privilege. But the reality I've seen in person is this is sucky.

Thanks! This makes me wonder if it might be possible to build a wristwatch SDR, essentially the same as this project but with a very wide band into the Ghz, as with some small USB SDR's. It'd be so cool to have something so versatile in Casio form-factor.

Another way of looking at it is that fat serves a purpose in the body. It's true that if you're optimizing for a very narrow outcome, very low (but not no) fat bodies can look ideal, but for one thing, that's actually a pretty unhealthy body, and for another, the best weight lifters in the world actually have pretty substantial fat reserves to support and sustain their muscles.

No fat can help for going fast and efficient, but it prevents you from going strong.

My most commonly used cables are stored on the wall using 3M removable clips (they work like lightly sprung clothes pegs). The remainder are coiled and tied, and stored by type in big, labelled plastic bags. The bags live in a large lidded plastic bin.

That should be weighted against how many CO2 is saved by LLM due to increased efficiency. A person living large in a big house, eating well, flying overseas for vacations, with 2-3 cars in the garage, consumes much more CO2 than a GPU that replaces him.

> Such strong speculative predictions about the future, with no evidence. How can anyone be so certain about this?

The evidence is all around you. For anyone who has made any serious attempt to add AI to your current life and work process, you will fairly quickly notice that your productivity has doubled.

Now, do I as a random software engineer who is now producing higher quality code, twice as fast, know how to personally capture that value with a company? No. But the value is out there, for someone to capture.

> It's like everyone is in the same trance and simply assuming and repeating over and over that This Will Change Everything

It already is changing everything, in multiple fields. Go look up what happened to the online art commission market. It got obliterated over a year ago and is replaced by people getting images from midjourney/ect.

Furthermore, if you are a software engineer and you haven't included tools like github copilot, or cursor AI into your workflow yet, I simply don't consider you to be a serious engineer anymore. You've fallen behind.

And these facts are almost immediately obvious to anyone who has been paying attention in the startup space, at least.
I've never understood why Chalmer's reasoning is so captivating to people. The whole idea of p-zombies seems absurd on its face. Quoting the article:

(quote)

His core argument against materialism, in its original form, is deceptively (and delightfully) simple:

1. In our world, there are conscious experiences.
2. There is a logically possible world physically identical to ours, in which the positive facts about consciousness in our world do not hold.
3. Therefore, facts about consciousness are further facts about our world, over and above the physical facts.
4. So, materialism is false.

(endquote)

Point 2 is textbook begging the question: it imagines a world which is physically identical to ours but consciousness is different there. That is baking in the presupposition that consciousness is not a physical process. Points 3 and 4 then "cleverly" detect the very contradiction he has planted and claims victory.
I actually have pretty fond memories of PalmOS PDAs. The hardware was very nice, but they were held back by the resistive touchscreen and dependence on a stylus for input. I never used a Treo but it felt like this was Palm trying to copy BlackBerry by adding a physical keyboard.

Edit: There were also the limitations of that era that held devices back in general. WAP internet[1] was awful, but most mobile services were too slow for much else.

I second that wholeheartedly, and I also run two 19" Synology NAS units, one at home and one at the office. All smooth sailing so far.

A colleague uses a QNAP instead, which he claims is better price/storage ratio at the expense of lesser software usability, and I'm okay paying a bit more of my own money (at home) as well as taxpayers' money (at work) on better usability, because it will likely pay off by saving time in the long run, as I currently don't have a dedicated sysadmin in my team.

The only question mark to date was when installing with non-Synology (enterprise SSD) drives I got a warning that mine were not "vendor sourced" devices, and decided not to take any risk and replace all drives with "original" Synology ones just because I can. This may be just disinformation from Synology to make their own customers nervous, and it reminds me of the "only HP toner in HP laser printers" discussion, but it would have been a distraction to investigate further, and my time is more valuable than simply replacing all drives.
It is very much correct. Chomsky's relationship to truth is flimsy at best when it comes to anything related to the West's foreign policy.

His position on Vietnam War vs. war in Ukraine provides a nice illustration. In the former he was demanding an unconditional pull of US forces from Vietnam, in the latter he was asking Ukraine to capitulate to invader's demands. The only consistency in his opinions is the "West bad".

These numbers are just the hole from GPUs that have already been bought/ordered. Today's GPUs will inevitably be replaced by something, whether it be better GPUs, NPUs/TPUs, ASICs, or FPGAs. As chips get cheaper in the future the hole will grow at a slower rate but it only grows.

[I get most of my information from Ukraine: The Latest] It seems to be that when Ukraine has even the below-necessary arms (be that artillery or air support or smarter, longer range weapons), Russia is unable to make significant gains.

Whether this is due to the impotence/utter incompetence of the Russian military or the inherent advantages of defensive fighting, I'm not sure Ukraine _can lose_ this war as long as NATO continues to the supply them with the tools.

Agreed! Fantasy tends to assume your basic needs are satisfied, especially the unsexy ones. E.g. you rarely see someone use the restroom in space, and I bet that the “fantastical” nature of Kowloon is interrupted in reality by waste management

Mostly I just find these arguments to be evidence that 'measure theory is not very interesting', that is, it's concerned with proving things about mathematical objects that you won't find in reality and therefore I don't care about.

I wonder sometimes if there is a concrete version of the statement: 'there is an infinite number of interesting theorems', which would suggest that perhaps doing 'all the math' is not a good idea and we should only do the math which we find important.

(of course, others would disagree that measure theory is unimportant, anyway. Shrug.)

It's not culture (organic), it's systems (planned): if you don't, on day zero, agree what code reviews should cover (and what not), then code reviews are a pissing contest first, and a useful tool second.

I noticed a lot of people don't understand both the limitations of code reviews, and what issues they can and should solve. Writing good critique (of anything, not just code) is hard, we don't train people to do it, and usually don't even regard this as something that needs training and understanding.

As a thought experiment, imagine we were to scan the position of every molecule in the human body to the Heisenberg limit of accuracy. Imagine we were to plug the resulting model in a physics simulation that models every biochemical and physical interaction with perfect fidelity. This is a thought experiment, and what I suggest isn't ruled out by physics, so let's assume it's technologically possible. Would the simulated being be "conscious" in the same way the original human is? Would it experience "qualia"?

If you think the answer might be no, then congratulations, you actually believe in immaterial souls, no matter how materialist or rationalist you otherwise claim to be.
> I would call phones like the Palm Treo and later BlackBerries smartphones.

It's not just you; at the time these products were available, _everyone_ called them smartphones. Emphatically, Apple did not bring the first smartphone to market, not even close. They were, however, the first to popularize it beyond the field of nerds into the general public.
Why not just sue the hell out of them? Would also break their business model really fast.
"Unlike the CPU cloud, which became an oligopoly, new entrants building dedicated AI clouds continue to flood the market. Without a monopoly or oligopoly, high fixed cost + low marginal cost businesses almost always see prices competed down to marginal cost (e.g., airlines)."

So why aren't there more entrants in the CPU cloud area? The technology is a commodity. Google and Amazon don't make CPUs.
OT, sound simulator related:

I recall a thunder simulator (generator?) from years ago. You could draw/modify a “line” representing the ground surface, give it a few seconds, and it would output thunder. Early-ish internet days, Java applet. Might have been on a university web site.

> This ruling seems to open the door to a president being immune from, say, commanding SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival.

That is what the media - the same media who until a few days ago told you your current president was in no way diminished in his mental capacity - wants you to believe, they in turn were prompted by a 'progressive' judge - Sotomayor. It was clear from the outset that the media was lying about Biden and it is clear from the outset that this ploy about presidents being able to order hit jobs on their political rivals is a lie.

In short, think for yourself and you have a much better chance avoiding becoming a useful idiot as Lenin called those who blindly followed what the Party told them.
>I usually fall asleep fast, sleep through the night and wake up without any recollection of dreaming. I guess it’s usually a good thing, but it feels like im missing this whole thing a lot of other people experience.

Probably depends on people, but dreams can mess your entire next day up, it does not happen often to me but I have bad dreams like I lost my child in a crowed, or something bad happened and someone I loved died. This emotional pain in the dream I think causes something in the body to trigger sicne the next day I am still feeling like shit.

Then you might have good dreams, where all is perfect and happey and you have the thing you desired but then you wake up and you realized that it is not real and things are not good.

And for soem god dam reason like many others there is the dream with the exams.

Chess paints a clear picture of the strategy/tactics distinction to me.

Tactics is concrete. Carry out these steps, and some goal is achieved. It’s the action that actually moves something forward. I can prove that I can checkmate my opponent in 3 moves or less by following these steps. I threaten two pieces simultaneously, and you can only defend one.

Strategy is a proxy, a general objective that aims to put one into a position where tactical steps can be carried out. If there’s no immediate tactical steps to carry out, then I try to “control more space” or “make my pieces more mobile” or “protect my king” or whatever. An accumulation of these nebulous strategic advantages tend to, eventually, lead to a state where I can forcibly carry out a series of steps that gain an objective advantage. But sometimes obtaining a strategic advantage doesn’t pan out. I gain the “initiative” and my opponent is on his heels struggling to defend, but in the end he’s able to defend, and I have nothing to show for it.

In practice, tactics are less certain, but still highly probable. If we send a package via courier, a high percentage of the time it will arrive at its destination. But once in rare while the courier has an accident and our package doesn’t arrive.

Tactics and strategy are also relative to skill level. I can’t carry out a checkmate in 40 moves. I’m left to try to achieve a strategic advantage, like “keep my opponent’s king boxed in”, until sometime later I can hopefully see that forced checkmate in 3 moves. But a computer can detect the forced checkmate in 40 moves, and also carry out the correct steps to completion.

The computer can execute on that skillset better than I can, and so a situation that requires strategy for me is tactical to the computer.
