It should be impossible to negotiate this with individual policemen - if the state or municipality has the requirement and authority to provide security for something, then the conditions for that should be handled by the government (and then the officials would execute that as part of their ordinary non-negotiable orders of what duties their service requires), and if the government does not do that thing, then police officers should not be involved at all, this should be handled by private security, in which case even if someone from police participates off-duty, they shouldn't be permitted to have uniforms/badges/official authority, as they are not there as representatives of the state but as civilians.

There shouldn't be any middle ground - either the government sends the police to do whatever the government requires, or it does not - the policemen themselves should not get a choice, they exist to execute and enforce the government decisions, not make them.

A tax that is refunded isn't really a tax liability, it's an asset making 0% gain or interest, and will be converted to a cash asset within a 18 months or less.

Regardless, most people don't like tax, and there's not much they can do about it if they are W-2 wage earners short of opening a side business or maxing out retirement investments (which isn't helpful to someone trying to buy a house before they are 65).

I meant specifically the time in the late 80s when investment in AI collapsed because it was overhyped and caused the downfall of Lisp Machines. The AI field itself kept moving forward, but investment and grant funding was cut to almost nothing for a long time. It took a long time for the field to get to where it is now, but the hype cycle has been going back and forth for decades in AI.

> but the idea of an insurance company deputizing millions of cameras to perform mass surveillance to make a buck is suddenly okay because drivers that make us angry on the road get hurt by it.

I'd word it more like drivers who put me and others around me in danger should be punished for driving recklessly.
Of course there will always be a use for surplus energy. It's basically free, so we'll probably see whole new industries pop up to make use of it.

For example, an aluminium smelter might use free summer energy to turn alumina into aluminium, and turn the plant off in the winter - at which time the labor force can do extended maintenance and do post-processing on the aluminium produced during the summer.

Although finding an industry where such seasonal turnovers are viable isn't trivial, if you find one it's going to be far more profitable than very lossy storage.

This is 200% in the wrong direction.

We should be removing the incentive for the justice system to benefit from collected money at all let alone expanding it.

"Incentivized" justice is gigantic moral hazard. The system will invent "crimes" in order to keep the money flowing.

Cyberbullying is mentioned a lot in this article but it's as the driver for previous set of rule changes around what happens to students who use cell phones in those situations. This new ban largely focuses on the general distraction phones cause, cyberbullying is at most just one small component in that.
“Up to” gives a nice bludgeon to hit the repeat or clearly malicious offenders.

It’s a response to the “insanely dangerous” actions of the industry.
Sure, when the cameras start turning into a source of revenue then the city has an incentive to adjust the timing of the lights to maximize revenue and not minimize harm. This has happened (notably, the city of Chicago reduced the time of yellows and it led to more tickets and more accidents).

The other thing to remember is that governments don't operate red light cameras. They hire contracting businesses to install and operate them, and normally instead of paying a fixed rental/maintenance rate for the cameras those companies typically get paid a fraction of the fines. That means the designer/operator of the camera doesn't have much incentive to make the camera accurate or maximize safety, but to maximize how many cars it can issue tickets to (whether or not they're actually breaking the law or not).

When you take that to the extreme, the red light camera companies will even lobby local politicians to install more of them, and advertise them not as a tool for safety but for revenue. In some cases they've straight up bribed mayors and city officials with kickbacks from the ticket revenue.

All told, red light cameras are pretty shitty at making roads safer. What we really need are narrower roads with fewer lanes and smaller cars, but that's systemic. If we want to make specific intersections safer you can park a traffic enforcement officer at the intersection which will do more than any camera will.
This is refreshing to hear. The DSL provided by this plugin feels like an entire new language to learn. My experience with Tailwind has been positive but I'm not sure I want to learn new ways of doing the same things just to stay within a pure Tailwind framework.
The thing is, the killer app of the generative AI space—at least for large language models (LLMs)—might already be ChatGPT. While people are still searching for the next big application in this field (https://www.lycee.ai/blog/build-killer-app-of-generative-ai), it's possible that it has already been built. ChatGPT includes a human-in-the-loop design, avoiding the complexities of agentic workflows. You ask questions, get answers, iterate, and use the code interpreter if necessary. It’s like having a thought partner.

Given the issue of hallucinations in LLMs, this might be the only feasible user experience. Users must be aware of the potential for hallucinations and have a way to iterate until the desired output is achieved. How else could this be done effectively except through a chat interface? We need to cut through the noise quickly and start leveraging the true value of LLMs (https://www.lycee.ai/blog/llm-noise-value-openai).
Hmm, I'm not sure what you're getting at or how it relates to my question.

Also, someone could have received lots of income, say 5 years ago, at which point their income tax would be very high. The following years their income tax might be low if they, e.g., don't sell any stocks or take distributions from various trusts they have set up.
Ah, ok. It sounded like one or the other (i.e., people who inflate their refund aren't planning well) but personally I find that adding withholding at an amount that often leads to an inflated refund is a good low-effort way of minimizing risk of underpayment penalties (and it eliminates the need to think about estimated payments) for those good years where substantial gains unexpectedly occur. Of course it's like giving a free loan, which isn't great, but it's miniscule relative to the time I get back by thinking less. And I definitely minimize my liability -- loss harvesting, avoid short term gains, etc. -- so I am squarely in both camps.

"Acceptable" is debatable. Is the company genuinely trying to fix the issue? Can they demonstrate it (provide PRs, resourcing information, updates, etc?)

The real solution is not over-regulating the internet. This is how we end up with the comparatively barren tech landscape of the EU, or the trend towards authoritarianism in Brazil, where a massive platform was banned simply because some small and questionable rulings were ignored.

The innovation aspect really bothers me. As a SWE you definitely feel the development burden of so much regulation, it is huge, and that's with the might of a large company and all that brings to support you. I can't imagine startups will ever even attempt to meet these regulations.

My own experience dealing with regulation in big tech makes me believe this is one of the chief reasons the EU has experienced technological stagnation. Maybe good in the short term, very bad for humanity in the long term.
I wouldn’t recommend it for anything large but for fast internal tools, CFML is faster than anything I’ve seen to get something up and usable. When Covid started we needed to track testing and positives and notifications - all the fun stuff. And it needed to be up in running in three days. The next day I had a release candidate and we deployed and announced it on the Monday. Similar places took weeks or had to wait for off the shelf products.

Would I sell it what I made? No, but if your primary concern is getting stuff done, it surely will.

As for naming accounts, it's not just "naming criminals". It's effectively equivalent to sharing CSAM if I'm telling people specifically where to find it. Even if I knew where, which I don't, I'd prefer not broadcast that information. And I'm not sure why you're so eager to learn specific account names. It's a pretty weird thing to ask for on a public forum, honestly.

I worked briefly in a team teating the BlackBerry thermals. I’d be surprised if this was the case — phones have temperature monitoring, and are designed to manage their functions to avoid overheating. There are set maximums for each external material (glass, plastic, metal), and exceeding those can result in lawsuits. (Which happen regardless…) The phones should have detected the temperature conditions and decreased power to the radios.

I’ve got interesting comparisons of BlackBerry vs Apple on this metric. Different story though.
I would argue that the biggest novelty is being able to share your screen or camera feed with the live voice - and there's no announced timeline on that yet at all.
With OpenAI's valuation and current interest rates, I don't really understand why they aren't visibly under pressure to show there's a lot of price tolerance, and until they attempt it, no one will see how quickly those model migrations get prioritized and completed.
>Lowering the cost and effort to produce basically "looks good" images for lots of casual uses isn't, itself, an advance in fine art, sure. But it is, in itself, useful.

What you misunderstand is what "looks good" means. Before AI, art that looked good was valuable and impressive precisely because few artists could produce it. It was amazing (and it still is) that a human being can reproduce realistic or surrealistic imagery with just pencil and paint.

If anyone can do it with one click, there is no value.

Like I said before, you're using AI art and comparing it to other media, like pencil and paint. That's like comparing photography to pencil and paint. Just because photography is more "realistic" that doesn't mean people will value a photo more than an artist's realistic rendering of the same thing.

When AI just looks good, that is actually the most worthless possible thing, as valuable as a sketch of a stickman.

I purposefully used the word feature in my reply and I don't think CUDA is a feature. I see that as a massive ecosystem built on a proprietary platform.

Since the training data is basically the “source code” via this reasoning, does that mean there are trade secret claims (source code theft) to be made against GenAI companies? The argument would be that sites like SO, Reddit, etc implicitly grant permission to read the “code”, but not to “run in production”.
It was not mere "tweets that didn’t align to their ideology". There was a coup attempt in Brazil, first through attempts to discredit elections and intimidation/obstruction of voters on election day. Some Borsonaro radicalized followers even attempted to blast a fuel truck in the Brasília airport:

https://g1.globo.com/fantastico/noticia/2023/01/15/exclusivo...

It culminated in the January 8 violent coup attempt. The ringleaders coordinated through social media too. The order came after Twitter obstructed justice by refusing to cooperate with the investigations on the ringleaders of the coup attempt, and when fined for it, refused to pay, closing its offices.
Exactly. It’s one justice on the Supreme Court, with the support of President Lula, suppressing political speech from the opposition. The Brazilian constitution explicitly says expression is protected without censorship in article 5. But this corrupt justice claims the other court he serves on simultaneously gave himself the power he’s exercising, to unilaterally censor content, ban accounts, and arrest people for protected speech. Twitter (not Musk’s decision but their CEO) would comply if orders were legal. But they’re illegal under Brazil’s own law. And we saw how unhinged the administration has become, with the ban on VPNs and threat to fine VPN users thousands a day. I expect other tech companies to avoid having an office in Brazil given aggressive intimidation tactics like seizing personal assets of Twitter’s lawyer.

By the way, the title of the linked article is misinformation. There is no need to “comply with local laws”, because no such laws were passed. The offending justice, Alexandre de Moraes, himself claims his power from a ruling from the other court that he served as president of. Which makes zero sense.
It's not surprising at all that some corporate analyst doesn't know shit about the technical domain. I see it all the time in cybersecurity, there are two types: the hackers who understand the different layers of technology, how they interact, how they can be broken and how they can be fixed, and the checklist monkeys who don't even understand the questions they're asking.
Nice write up Sebastian, looking forward to the book. There are lots of details on the LLM and how it’s composed, would be great if you can expand on how Llama and OpenAI could be cleaning and structuring their training data given it seems this is where the battle is heading in the long run.
The USA would be better off moving away from fixed cost fines and to dynamically calculated fines based on individual and organizational wealth. This way the law binds the poor and the wealthy. It would also erode the statement "Fines are the cost of doing business".

A lot of these projects are financed with rent projections as part of their valuation to lock in loans and attract investors. So lowering rent wouldn’t be an option as it would make the problem worse.

I think the most likely outcome is that the various investment banks and their lenders will come to agreements on loans. If the problem gets too big the various governments will bail them out, but most likely a few will buckle and have their projects picked up by others with no real change happening.

If you want cheaper rent you’re going to need political intervention.

Assuming that Perplexity doesn’t operate its own search engine and crawler, how would it be able to operate without Google?

Google’s search index and its maintenance will remain a required functionality for the internet, and it will have to be paid for one way or another. Furthermore, AI will continue to require a corresponding search interface to implement its AI search on top of, and some portion of human users will also still want to directly access it, rather than only through an AI front end.
Yup, also work in big tech and confirm this.

Does this really make much of a practical difference these last decades? I wrote a text editor back in the late 90s in DOS using DJGPP with per-line allocation and it worked fine on the Pentium MMX i had at the time (and my approach to optimization at that time was be ignorant of the concept :-P), i'm not sure it'd really make much of a difference on any desktop or laptop CPU released past 2000 - at least as far as users editing text files are concerned (might make a difference if you try to open a multiGB file with barely a line break and accidentally press a letter :-P).
That's definitely do-able, but I didn't want to do that because it adds a level of indirection. When I put my relevant commands in a script, I have to start thinking about what directory it's in and how that affects its operations. I also have to think about how to handle errors for failures of the various commands, and I can only handle those errors on the target machine. If I'd doing expect and a command has an error, I can handle it on my local machine which might have more info (maybe I can set it up to switch to a backup machine or something). Are these solvable problems? Sure, for me it's a matter of taste.
