I'm not at all opposed to implementing new laws that society believes will reduce harm to online users (particularly children).

However, if Section 230 is on its way out, won't this just benefit the largest tech companies that already have massive legal resources and the ability to afford ML-based or manual content moderation? The barriers to entry into the market for startups will become insurmountable. Perhaps I'm missing something here, but it sounds like the existing companies essentially got a free pass with regard to liability of user-provided content and had plenty of time to grow, and now the government is pulling the ladder up after them.
You are simply not shielded from liability, I cannot imagine a scenario in which this moderation policy would result in significant liability. I'm sure someobe would be willing to sell you some insurance to that effect. I certainly would.

Sure. The point is the thing you said only an open-source model can do, it can do. Plenty of proprietary LLMs can cite sources.

The plain truth is most of the benefits of open models are not on the consumer side. (Or at least, I haven't seen any articulated.) They're on the producers'. Open models are better for those of us training models. That's partly why the open data debate is academic--very few people are training large foundation models because the compute and electricity costs are prohibitive.

Yes, the solution is more speech. Teach your kids critical thinking or they will be fodder for somebody else who has it. That happens regardless of who's in charge, government or private companies. If you can't think for yourself and synthesize lots of disparate information, somebody else will do the thinking for you.
Just because you have the dataset doesn't mean you can generate a reference. Let's say I hand you a potato salad recipe and a copy of the entire internet. Say you somehow extract all potato salad recipes from the dataset (non trivial btw) and none of them are an exact match for the recipe the model generated. Now what?

But more on point, we're discussing modification of how laws are interpreted. If someone can be held civilly liable, why can't they be held criminally liable if the "recommended" content breaks criminal laws (CSAM, for example)? There's nothing that prevents this interpretation from being considered in a criminal case.

The article mentions that FlyCASS seems to be run by one person. This isn't a matter of technical chops, this is a matter of someone who is good at navigating bureaucracy convincing the powers that be that they should have a special hook into the system.

What should really be investigated is who on the government side approved and vetted the initial FlyCASS proposal and subsequent development? And why, as something with a special hook into airline security infrastructure, was it never security audited?

You're conflating several schools of thought. Utilitarianism, which appears to be your basis for defining ethical behavior, underlies this reasoning behind compulsory government action.

This line of thinking is often repeated in election cycles and mindless online discussions, with mantras like "We justify doing something heinous because it serves 'American Interests'" or "We'll coercively tax one group and redistribute funds to another because they'll do something dubiously for the 'greater good'".

However, Utilitarianism is not a foundational principle of libertarian ideology. In fact, libertarianism often refutes and rejects it as applied to governments. It doesn't prioritize egalitarianism or rely on public opinion when defining citizens' rights.

The argument for a free market unencumbered by protectionist policies isn't about the greater good; rather, it's an argument for an ethical government grounded in first principles.

The "greater good" argument tends to crumble under close examination and logical scrutiny. Its claims on reason collapse as soon as you scrutinize them more deeply.

Notably, Utilitarianism has been the basis for nearly all modern-day dictatorships, which rely on a monopoly of violence to enforce the "greater good".

It's possible to support free markets while still caring for others – this is called altruism. It's similar to utilitarianism but without coercion and fallacies.

Definitions are very often proscriptive. Communication only works when people are able to understand the language being used. Imagine how well networks would function if we didn't have documented protocols that define what things mean and how they should be understood.

Nobody can "force" someone else to use the correct definitions of words, but when people disregard their established meanings they risk communication breaking down and the confusion and misunderstandings that follow. If I went around speaking nonsense or making up my own invented definitions for established words I shouldn't expect to be understood and others would be perfectly right to correct me or ask that I stick to using the well understood and documented meaning of words if I expect to have a productive conversation.

It's also perfectly fair to call out people who twist the meaning of words intentionally so that they can lie, mislead, and manipulate others. When it comes to products, companies can't just say "Words can mean anything I say they do! There are no rules!" to get away with false advertising.

I work a lot with IoT data, where basically everything is multi-variate time-series from multiple devices (at different physical locations and logical groupings). Pandas multi index is very nice for this, at least having time+space in the index.
Largely my take as well... I just want the simplest thing that works at this point... I'm heading in that direction as I need to replace appliances as well. So far this year, the microwave, range and dryer have all died. The microwave was the single biggest safety hazard I've ever seen, and they say you shouldn't work on them yourself... what happens when it turns on if the door is open? Or, you discover later, it's actually just on all the time even though the light is off and the fan isn't running.

I'm all about stupid, but repairable appliances now.

Unfortunately in 2024 with extremely inexpensive solar cells, I don't see much future for this technology. Even fixed latitude tilt angles are coming into question given the modest cost increases that they create versus a flat or a vertical panel. It costs more to blow glass into vacuum panels than to acquire PV area.

Much of the developing world latched on to solar concentrator water heaters 10, 20, or 30 years ago, and they were common in a backpacking trip through China a decade back. It's good tech, depending on your climate, but it seems to have been superseded.

Reminds me of a bug that I field for my podcatcher.

It has an automatic playlist feature where it automatically queues up next episodes based on some simple rules.

One of the rules is "alternate podcasts" to ensure that you rotate through podcasts rather than listening ot just one because it happens to be the oldest or similar.

I noticed that I was always listening to the same two podcasts despite having this feature enabled.

It turns out that whenever it downloaded a new episode it would regenerate the playlist and forget about where it was in the rotation. So when I finished and episode it would download the next one and reorder the queue, putting the other podcast next.

I filed that to the developer and they said "working as intended", when you change the set of downloaded podcasts the playlist is regenerated. And said they wouldn't fix it.

But this behaviour is clearly not what it should be, it defeats most of the point of the "alternate podcasts" flag (It only works correctly if you only ever have two eligible podcasts or disable auto-download)

One common view is that there is THE wave function of the universe. If it collapses, it collapses, there is no way it can collapse for some observers and not others. You might not know that it has collapsed but that does not make it not collapsed.

There is a different view that the wave function is just an representation of the knowledge someone has about the state of the universe or some part of it, in which case it can collapse for some and not others. On the other hand there is not really any collapse at all in this case, it is just a fancy term for updating once believe about the state of the universe or some system.

It is also important to note that a collapse is not a total collapse into a point. Measuring different things will collapse the wave function along different dimensions, only measuring everything in the universe would collapse the wave function along all dimensions into a point, or as far as the uncertainty principle permits.

> In its first week, Apple had sold 270,000 iPhones domestically.[47] Apple sold the one millionth iPhone 74 days after the release.[48] Apple reported in January 2008 that four million were sold.[49] As of Q4 2007, strong iPhone sales put Apple no. 2 in U.S. smartphone vendors, behind Research In Motion and ahead of all Windows Mobile vendors.[50]

> As of October 2007, the iPhone was the fourth best-selling handset in the U.S., trailing the Motorola RAZR V3, the LG Chocolate, and the LG VX8300.[51]

I’d say being the #2 smartphone vendor on your first model and beating all Windows Mobile would be a fantastic first step and a clear indicator it would be extremely successful in addition to being #4 across all us handsets. 4M were sold in the first 6 months. You’re just simply misremembering how big it was and how well it sold.

The 3G version the next year sold 4x as many units (25M) . You could say it’s because 3G was such a huge upgrade our other software things like mms and App Store, but the first iPhone was in 6 countries while 3G was in 22 and got to 70. The 3GS did outdo the growth of that since it shipped 5M more units than would be explained just by being available in more countries (80 vs 70).

Could you predict it would end up dominating the smartphone market even as that market ate up more of the legacy feature phone market? Maybe that’s harder but the iPhone’s success wasn’t all that hard. The lack of any competition that could really keep up was another indicator. Android was a pretty big failure for a few years until enough of the feature set became parity and table stakes that people felt comfortable using it (or because Android was available in a lower price segment Apple wasn’t competing in).
So you believe that presenting the results (especially if you filter on something like 'relevance') of a search now makes the website liable?

It's about 1.3% of hourly waged workers who are at or below the minumum wage according to the BLS.

How often/much do you realistically need to heat a house with high, quality, modern insulation? Does your house have triple-paned windows, a vestibule for each entryway, well insulated walls, attic, and roof, etc?

Also if we're talking about heating, there's also the possibility of geothermal heat pumps, which seem to work everywhere, and while they have a high one-time capital cost but I'm pretty sure can more or less keep trucking along providing unbelievably cheap heat pretty much forever - even if you have to replace components, you probably won't ever have to redig the shaft again, which is a huge factor in the cost.
