libertarian take on the issue of artists and content creators being peeved that AI is making crappier content for cheaper and driving down their job opportunities and wages, after training on their content (and sometimes regurgitating it word for word in large chunks) and not paying royalties.

If you think artistic people of various kinds are doing particularly well and need to have their privilege checked to stop the discrimination against AI tech bros...then I think you are out of touch. The starving artist meme is a thing for a reason, and most content creators are not making a lot of money. They enjoy it, and maybe make a little on the side. But most work a shitty day job as well to fund their passion, the thing that makes them enjoy life and helps them find meaning. They just want to contribute to culture and enjoy making art but wouldn't be able to justify it if all the existing low wage starving artist work dries up in favor of essentially free AI generated crap.

I'd hazard a guess that the majority of the country would take their side and call Silicon Valley tech bros and VCs privileged and anti-social.

I think a culture in which it is non-viable for an ordinary person to participate in art and culture on the side is kind of sad. I value these things because there is a person on the other end and it helps me empathize and try and understand how they are feeling and thinking. An AI kills that. You'll get great stock photos generic advertising, but you'll destroy something fundamental to human culture.

35 doesn’t guarantee anything, neither does does 70+. But in the real world Trump would be 82 at the end of his term, and he was the younger candidate.
the glib answer is that every election is a decision on that politician’s age or term limit, which is almost certainly the position SCOTUS would take here.

in reality, the advantages of the incumbent in an era of safe districts, where the real election is a primary with poor turnout composed mostly of older voters, are almost insurmountable.

and we are currently witnessing what happens when someone hits an age limit the national electorate is unwilling to accept.
I don’t vote, I’m a proud non-voter.

People frequently make this statement and I think it’s wrong at face value.

If you vote you are giving legitimacy to the beltway uniparty. If the election is “free and fair” why does voting give you the right to complain?
But they rarely agree about how to spend the money. Trump said "infrastructure week" was coming for four years. Biden got it done in his first year.

On one hand, this isn’t a drug, so it would probably be much cheaper to test and verify.

On the other hand, the average cost for drug R&D, testing, and approval was $2.87 billion each… in 2016.

That’s going to take serious cash to break even on.
Even on a per-capita basis, the US has considerably higher levels of both legal and illegal immigration.

About 3% of the US population is in the US illegally compared to about 1% in the EU.

Overall, about 15.8% of the US population are foreign born, compared to 6.1% of the EU.

Just like in the US, immigrants aren’t evenly distributed though so some countries have far higher percentages - just as some US states do.
Will insurance lower the cost in the case that this is a prescribed treatment?

The VP used to be the runner up [1].

E.g. the current administration would be Biden and Trump.

I couldn’t imagine that working today, as divided as the parties have become (especially in the last 20 years).

Patchwork lab notebook: Version control for everything
They've largely already mastered control of their domains, e.g. by outlawing all non-state media. Generally speaking, if you're already at the top, everything is mostly a threat simply because nothing is much of an opportunity.
Biden was never the quickest guy (or tongue) in the room. During Obama's term, he was legendary for putting rooms to sleep with plodding, off-topic monologues where he set up irrelevant straw-men and then knocked them down. Obama was, by far, the quicker of the two. Time has probably not improved matters, but it's going a bit far to say Biden's declining sharply. Even in his prime, Biden might have stuttered and stumbled through a debate with somebody as consistently unpredictable and utterly unhinged as Trump.

Is a younger leader better? Possibly. Speaking as a non-American, I have to note that, when Americans vote for a President, they're not just voting for one guy. They're voting for a guy who will select the entire white house staff. Biden surrounded himself with highly competent people with good ideas and they're why he's been an effective President. Obama could have easily done worse if he'd been less lucky with his staff selection. An old president who selects good staff can be effective.

Trump did worse during his previous term and would be objectively worse in his next precisely because he'll surround himself with family and yes-men. When staffing, a good leader tries to make himself the dumbest person in the room. Biden did that. Trump never will.

Case in point: The VP. In a Biden vs Trump contest, it was a very real possibility that either of their VP's would have to take over during their terms. Biden had Harris as his VP, and she's clearly ready to do the job. Trump chose a rookie senator yes-man with a profound lack of principles for his VP. The thought of Vance becoming President in 2026 or 2027 should terrify people.
Specifically, it is evaluated as almost impossible that someone could have accrued required experience before the age of 35,

Super Tuesday was on March 3 2020. Amy Klobuchar dropped out on March 2 2020 and endorsed Biden. Pete Buttigieg dropped out March 1 2020 and endorsed Biden.

There were definitely some interesting things going on in the 2020 Democratic primaries.
Yup and before that they tried to remove their opponent from the ballot and imprison him.
The results footnoted on the web site are underwhelming. Kids report they can pay better attention? If you weren’t trying to sell a product you would make up a better metric.

There is high corruption at every level of healthcare, from ambulance companies to prosthetists to local doctors to hospitals to pharmacies to insurance to government.

$99/month is pure corruption, and they get away with it because insurance can help cover it.

In healthcare, "Economies of scale don’t lower prices", and "prices rise to what the market will bear" - An American Sickness. Very much what you're seeing here for this price tag.
I wonder how much more lipstick can put on the algorithmic pig.

I guarantee they didn't invent anything new to gaming. It's just like all those studies that claim tetris helps with ptsd, stress, lazy eye, postpartum depression, etc. It's just a game. There's nothing that makes this game, or tetris specifically special.

There's more; that's just the first two years.
Well, yeah.

Then we could have had a better primary process, instead of putting huge amounts of effort into pushing a critically weak candidate.

People have been saying this for many months, and were basically told to stop helping Trump win. Turns out those people were right - so why defend the lies?
if the aggrieved party is fictional, then why should the person that was removed not be able to make a statement claiming that the accusations are false?
Maybe better to have server side using deno. Deno can also publish to npm packages now. With its sec urity model, it maybe better for server side use.
Perhaps also to detect tampering? Sudden pressure drop will attract attention.
I have to ask why is this article necessary ? Nobody is deleting nodejs anyway.
I've been on this for about a month and a half now.

The game itself isn't engaging at all. It was a struggle to get myself to actually play the game regularly, for the allotted time (30 minutes, 5 days a week). It feels like a pretty big flaw with the game - after all, one of the challenges that people with ADHD face is forcing themselves to do things they don't want to do. This game is a complete bore, and I can't imagine anyone over, idk, 10 feeling differently.

It's also an incredibly frustrating game, and for the first couple of weeks I was fairly irritated after each 30 minute session.

I haven't noticed any improvement yet.
> you must be younger than
> the average life expectancy
> (currently 73yo) - while in
> office.

As an aside, it's a common error to think that overall life expectancy is relevant to this sort of thing, it's not. That number includes those who die in infancy, etc.

If you wanted to limit it by "life expectancy" you'd want to limit it by the statistical expected remaining years of life at the candidate's current age.

For example, while the overall life expectancy in the US is around 73, for an individual at age 50 it's around 80[1].

1. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK62591/

Edit: Even if you pick the "right" life expectancy it's still pretty weird. You want the candidate to "only" have a hypothetical 50% chance of dying due to old age before their last day in office?

Then imagine something like COVID-19 happens again. Now a candidate on the cusp of being ineligible is suddenly ineligible because the latest life expectancy statistics shifted?

There's a reason political systems tend to prefer boring and predictable arbitrary limits.
these days my advice is to just learn to code. it's not that hard with ChatGPT's help. you can totally do it. think of it like cooking. just like you should know how to cook dinner for yourself, you should know how to write a computer program. doesn't have to be a Michelin star level dinner, but everyone should still know the basics.
> I’ve seen too many DYI mini-projects that implemented just enough and became too much important, and when they broke no one was around to fix that (the implementer had left a long ago and left scarce to no documentation at all)

Personally I have seen far more damage done by a reflexive rejection of NIH syndrome, than the costs you're describing here.

I've generally found it much easier to maintain a bespoke system built around a narrow set of requirements, than a general purpose system applied too-eagerly.
Pretty much. He ran in the primaries, they were mad at him, he lost his committee memberships and is no longer seeking re-election to congress, he speculates that this attitude from within the party is why no one else seriously ran against Biden.

I'm not alleging a grand conspiracy or anything. It just seems like internal party politics and personal incentives led to the democratic party ultimately ending up with a nominee that people aren't excited about (who I will vote for anyway).
Third-party libraries? TLS has definitely had its fair share of implementation and protocol vulnerabilities.

Although in mailhog's case it looks like STARTTLS was never implemented. Hence the forks.
I met him once but never took a class. I wish I had because I enjoyed listening to
him. Deeply knowledgeable and great intellect. We spoke mostly about the Making of the English Working Class by E. P. Thompson, which is worth reading by everyone in the US and UK (and elsewhere). The other great book by James C. Scott is Weapons of the Weak.
It seems to me the pressure built up and he could no longer fight it, which means he had no choice. The party did not allow it, just like they didn't allow Bernie in 2016.
Depends on how you look at it.

As others have pointed out, Lyndon B. Johnson declined the nomination for Democratic Presidential candidate in March of 1968, well before both most of the primary contensts and the then-open Democratic Convention in Chicago. Rather famously, that convention didn't go particularly smoothly.

(In an interesting coincidence, this year's Democratic primary is also in Chicago.)

George McGovern's 1972 vice presidential nominee, Thomas Eagleton, stepped down after it was revealed Eagleton had undergone electroshock therapy, two weeks after the Democratic Convention. McGovern selected Sargent Shriver as the replacement candidate.

Horace Greeley, Liberal Republican Party and Democratic Party candidate in the 1872 election, running against incumbent Ulysses S. Grant, died on 29 November 1872, after the general election but before the Electoral College met to count its votes. Greeley carried no states and won no Electoral College votes.

Obama can't be VP either as the rules are that anyone ineligible to be president can't be elected as VP (there's apparently some debate over whether they could become VP via being promoted from lower down in the succession in the event of a presidential vacancy).

Sanders could, but I think he has the double issue of his two prior failed campaigns - a lot of his more motivated voters from previous times might have a "boy who cried wolf" reaction a third campaign. He also doesn't really disarm the "too old" criticism, even if all evidence points to him aging a lot better than either Biden or Trump so far - Biden 2020 vs Biden 2024 would give a lot of people pause even if Sanders gave the world's best debate performance at this point.

There's also the fact that Sanders has been actually pretty influential in Biden's presidency, which I think is why he came out so strongly in favour of Biden a few days ago.
You know when they don't say actual numbers that it doesn't work much better than a placebo.

They do, but this update bypassed all of those rules.
This reeks of propaganda - I don't accept the nonsensical premise that a terrorist group is somehow forcing a vastly superior military force to kill this indiscriminately, and I especially don't buy that civilians somehow invite their own deaths by not supporting the regime that is actively killing them right now. I think most people, regardless of religion, nationality, creed, or ethnicity, find the way the IDF is going about this appalling

Also, as a minor side-note, you manage to contradict yourself even in this short reply, first claiming that muslims by and large don't support Gaza, but then concluding by claiming that somehow the Gazans being bombed in their homes are behaving so egregiously that they'll soon lose the support of everyone "outside of the Muslim world". I'm not surprised you can't keep your argument straight, as its logic is incoherent in the first place, barely making sense even in this ridiculous framing of the conflict

Seeing like a state is a very though-provoking book which I thoroughly enjoyed. I should give it a re-read.
Using older ChatGPT models is free* and the people who pay for it do so for convenience. Sure, you can jump through 10 hoops to make it cheaper but for most people $20/month is less than the value they get from it.

> A subscription incentivises the company to lower cost per token and move customers to cheaper models to increase margins, even if it's at the detriment of output quality.

Due to the high-stakes vibes of LLM development and the similarity between UI, customers can switch to another provider pretty quickly in case the quality drops significantly.

Either nobody has tried to find out yet, or it is not.
Wait, how does lack of voter participation open any new party doors? There’s third party candidates on the ballot, which sometimes get a little traction, and then there’s write-ins, which don’t get traction. Not voting avoids both of those possibilities. Ranked-choice voting would enable other parties in a real way. I don’t see how not voting opens any doors. A third party has no legitimate chance in this election or for the foreseeable future unless voting breaks down completely. Neither party is going to let that happen if they can help it. The last third-party candidate to make it to 2nd place was more than 100 years ago (Teddy Roosevelt, 1912).

Notably Corbyn actually got more votes than Starmer in both elections he ran - the change is more to do with the right vote being split between the conservatives and reform, the conservatives losing the centrist vote after the clown show of the last 5 years, and a unofficial pact between Labour/LibDems prevented splitting the centrist/left vote the same way the right vote was split.

The timing suggests there was conflict within and Joe couldn't unite the party. Otherwise it would have happened much earlier before the primaries.

Show HN: The Sundown WebGPU game and SIM engine
I just pushed up the initial version of a new WebGPU + JS engine I've been working on. It is free and open source under the MIT license. Hopefully it's of use to someone other than me! Here are some of the features:

* WebGPU renderable abstractions

* Flexible render graph for crafting render and compute pipelines

* Simple, expressive material system for crafting custom shaders and materials

* Gameplay simulation layer system for adding layered, modular functionality

* ECS system for more efficient processing, using TypedArrays where possible

* Simple, context-based input system, allowing you to set up different input schemes and contexts

* Built-in PBR shaders

* Auto instancing and draw batching of meshes using a specialized mesh task queue

* Helpers for loading GTLF models, tracking performance scopes, named IDs and more.

As an aside, I am forking this to pursue the more ambitious goal of building a visual-first AI building platform. Not for generative AI, but for all types of AI algorithms and techniques. An intuitive way to build MLPs, Bayesian systems, RL pipelines and more.

The idea is that making AI crafting more intuitive will open the door up for more people to bootstrap us towards a better future. Anybody should be able to creatively come up with new types of intelligence, given sufficiently powerful building blocks.

Researchers have been crafting the building blocks of AI for decades, but it's high time we start giving those building blocks to everyone so anyone can craft entirely new kinds of tools and intelligences.

It's very important to twist the news like some terrible things are happening in Russia, when it's quite the opposite.
My initial reaction is that it looks like a Super Mario Galaxy ripoff.
Everything not expressly prohibited by law is permitted. Extending copyright retroactively to cover AI training is like prohibiting the wearing of blue shorts on Thursdays and fining anyone who has ever worn blue shorts on a Thursday.
>Cycling without a helmet may not be statistically safer. See for example "The Ultimate Question: With or Without a Helmet?"

I believe you wanted to say "may be statistically safer" because the article you referenced tries to infer that helmets cause more accidents even though significantly reduce the number of fatal/serious ones. What if construction workers also want to be "statistically safer" in this sense?

It's trivial to see that PPE that prevents fatal and debilitating injuries is going to increase the total number of injuries as a person, who otherwise would have died or stopped participating in the dangerous activity forever, can go on and accrue more minor injuries.
Cuba was being invaded at that time (Bay of Pigs Invasion, later there was also discussion about a false flag attack to kill people, blame Cuba and then justify an invasion). From the point of view of Cuba, the Russian missiles were a way to ensure that other invasions would not happen again. If the missile crises were not solved, then the conflict would escalate to a war, but fortunately, it did not happen.
If my college textbook's author demanded a percentage cut of my future earnings I'd be much more peeved than content creators are now.

I think pointing out that it's crappy is a much better critique of crappy content than looking at how it was generated.

As for tech bros vs. artists, that's a reality show I haven't watched and one I'm not interested in. I'm interested in progress and human advancement, and I'm definitely not a Libertarian or tech bro.
Agreed.

Hasn't the number one thing anti-biden people have been saying is that he isn't fit for office due to his mental state?

Its bizarre seeing them flip to calling this a coup as if biden stepping down is suddenly an illegal/unconstitutional thing.

I consider this "concern trolling".

They said for 4 years how he's barely mentally there / can barely speak / not fit for office, and then when the Democratic party pressures him to step down, they go all surprised_pikachu_face.png.
