# AI Could Still Wreck the Presidential Election - https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/09/ai-el...

> The freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment generally permits lying in political ads. But the American public has signaled that it would like some rules governing AI’s use in campaigns. In 2023, more than half of Americans polled responded that the federal government should outlaw all uses of AI-generated content in political ads. Going further, in 2024, about half of surveyed Americans said they thought that political candidates who intentionally manipulated audio, images, or video should be prevented from holding office or removed if they had won an election. Only 4 percent thought there should be no penalty at all
This is also where Google went right with QUIC: encrypt as much as possible to show middleboxes the least possible. This combats ossification. Then again it seems likely middleboxes will just block QUIC (or UDP in general).
I think people are constantly changing their comfort zones when they fall in love with different products.

People definitely would be open to real estate w/ software. Otherwise, by this logic, why do people use Zillow? Why don't they just drive to their local Relator office to ask about local listings? How could you trust an online algorithm to show homes instead of someone describing homes to your face?

We are seeing that the fraction of home buyers that sign with the first buyer the meet is declining - more opportunity for us!

You are reading aggression in based on the fact that I am disagreeing with you. It is text over the internet. Whatever tone you are gathering is purely imagined. I would suggest you visit fewer circle jerk areas and discuss things. People telling you you’re wrong and why is not aggression.

I mean. I assume you’re a developer as you have a strong opinion on immutability. So just test it? It isn’t as if testing the impacts of immutability of performance is a difficult thing to test out.

It is actually difficult to find results because functional programmers have flooded the internet with “yes performance is impacted, but performance doesn’t matter. Performance is a premature optimization”

Nevertheless, even with things smaller than a register, performance is impacted here:

By several X. Now get it objects that are larger than a register with numerous stack blowing deep copies and the effects are massively more pronounced.

The fastest Haskell game engine looks like PlayStation 2 on modern hardware.

I mean. That immutability massively hurts performance is not a point of contention, even among immutability fanboys.

I think you forgot your own post. You stated that CoW is trivial and I gave you a specific reason as to why that claim is a lie.
I am skeptical but optimistic. At the very least, this introduces another avenue to let competition drive down realtor pricing. I would like to see a realignment of incentives. Getting a cut of the sale price is just good for the agents' bottom line, but not good for the buyer or seller.

The problem is the monopoly realtors have. Regulate it better, or break it up, and the market can definitely handle the rest.

Fair enough, and I wish you luck because I welcome down pressure on existing fees. My take is simply that the positioning seems to unnecessarily make it a fight against all buyer agents, whereas it might be better to start by targeting the buyers who already "get it".
UBI won't work: it's almost implemented in my country (you can get 600€/month + many other welfare stuff by not working) and what's the result? Highest public deficit in the EU zone, highest tax rate in the world, rampant criminality, difficulty to get money by working because of said taxes, educated people leaving the country in mass, etc.
OK, but a mirror only exists to share an exact (hopefully up-to-date) copy of the repo. So we are just moving the goalpost from the moment you create the fork to the moment you edit it. Did that really change anything? I don't think so.
Extortion does not look like an easy case to make. Pull up some of the state statutes: they all seem to have intent and malice requirements, and/or, like California, require the threat to be of an unlawful injury. Threatening to ruthlessly exploit capabilities you lawfully have, like the bully pulpit of leading the WordPress project or the strictness with which you license your trademark, is unlikely to meet that standard.

(But see below for the 'DannyBee comment on how UCL unfair competition might work even if you can't make a case under the extortion statute itself).
I think it's healthy for projects to die. It frees up your time to start another project, instead of being stuck in a rut.

I sometimes find myself working on a project that goes nowhere, thinking that if I just put enough effort it will go somewhere, and I'm not having any fun or learning new things. And I'm hard on myself with thoughts like "I need to finish it, I need to finish it" but then when I ask myself: 'why?', it's usually because of this fear of _not finishing the project_ or maybe it's the fear of not being able to distinguish the grinding phase from the failed project phase.

Either way, too many times I have experienced a liberating feeling when I failed. It's a chance to start over.
The original cited paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.08277 "Deep Differentiable Logic Gate Networks" struck me then as very clever, ultra-efficient/small, hardly any inductive bias or prior... But you have to wonder if it's able to scale reasonably well. Differentiating continuous versions of 16 discrete operations in parallel sounds expensive, especially since you presumably need a bunch of them chained in order to approximate a single neural primitive. Even distilling an existing LLM down might be too hard.

More expressive nature of F# means you don't have that many files. C# is luckily and finally moving into that direction too. There was no reason for "one file per class" policy anyway, but it was still widely adopted historically.

Here's an example of a worst-case scenario (GUI frameworks and the extensions have notoriously huge amount of code): https://github.com/fsprojects/Avalonia.FuncUI/blob/master/sr...

But realistically an average project would look closer to this instead: https://github.com/DiffSharp/DiffSharp/blob/dev/src/DiffShar...

Once you have enough files, it might be a good idea to factor out separate concerns into different projects.

The Plano Walmarts I've shopped at don't. Neither do the Targets in Richardson/Plano. Nor the Walmart in Murphy. I think the Walmart off Forest @ 635 does though. Strange how they don't bother locking it up in the more affluent areas even though supposedly its got virtually nothing to do with shoplifting.

And please, once again, explain what benefit the store gets from locking up merchandise if it has nothing to do with shoplifting? What positive outcomes comes from it from the business' perspective?

> The 6% fee was paid by the sellers, not the buyers. Buyers didn't pay anything to the agents.

Buyers are the ones paying everything.

At 6%, that means the seller is willing to accept 94% of the sale price for the deal. So with a lower fee or simply less middle men feasting on low information transacters, a buyer with 94-100% could purchase that house and both parties would be happier.
You're avoiding the question because it destroys your victimhood narrative...

For a small island off continental Europe to control the whole of the Indian subcontinent it means a huge gap in strength and development. A bit like when the Romans conquered the Mediterranean and Europe. This needs not hurt feelings or make one look for a narrative to blame others. Instead, it should trigger change. It happened in Japan, China, and India which is now developing fast and will soon be a top global power.

Moving Linux and its associated projects to GitHub would definitely help. I don't buy the arguments that GitHub isn't suitable for it, e.g. because it doesn't allow each sub-project to have its own area. Things like tags help a lot to separate issues and PRs based on which sub-project they're a part of.

Compulserve was the first Walled garden.

I find it very interesting that we went from people mostly being on Compulserve, to AOL, to Yahoo and the concept of integrated portals, to a bunch of small websites strewn around the internet, and then back to a few social networks. All that happened organically, with no antitrust scrutiny or regulatory changes (beyond the commercialization of the internet) that I know of.
Interesting that I observed the opposite. During the pandemic people I know who had to work were sent into extreme psychological dysfunction that they're still dealing with the fallout that followed. Those that didn't need to work flourished.
The latest Google Pixel phone (you know, the one that Google actually set the price for) appears to cost the exact same as the latest iPhone ($999 for pro, $799 for non-pro). And I would argue against the "less good" bit too.

UBI is a failure of imagination for jobs programs. Don't get me wrong, as a society we should take care of everyone so that no one dies of starvation or freezes to death, but don't just give people handouts, pay people to do stuff. Even something as simple as planting trees.
I think the main issue they didn't do a distribution, they just asked a single question without a range from weekly to daily, etc. etc. Most folks were probably too shy to admit it as a regular thing, but also didn't have a sometimes option.

To me it's just bad data, pretty much asking for folks to be like "no". But also I can't find anyone having bothered to do any other data collection on it.
Star Trek mostly just kind of handwaves this sort of thing rather than actually explaining how it works, which is probably the right narrative decision because it's usually beside whatever point the story is trying to make.

Why did people start talking about open source in this thread? This is almost the opposite of open source, and doesn't claim to be open source. It's restrictive to the point where you should just treat it as an official source leak. It's even called "collaborative" by which they clearly mean that if you want to work on the software, you're free to send them a pull request. You're also free to compile it yourself, as long as you don't distribute it (modified or not) in any way.

Nothing wrong with this, but I don't understand why people started arguing about open source. Because you get to look at the source?

> You can't truly be federated if you require centralization.

I’m not so sure: isn’t the certificate transparency log a pretty good example of a federated group of disparate members successfully sharing a view of the world?

That requires some form of centralization to be useful (else it’s not really a log, more of a series of disconnected scribbles), and it’s definitely a true federated network.

> Those who didn't need to work any more, became rather depressed, quite quickly, compared to those who kept working.

I'm going to be completely honest with you, I really think you need to consider other reasons why people might be depressed in the situation that occurred during the pandemic. I don't know anyone who was doing particularly well, including those working (heck, people at my job at the time were struggling pretty badly with mental health to the point where they started reaching out to us.)

I'm not even saying this as a person that has a strong opinion on UBI, and I am sure some people sincerely believe not having a job was a major detriment for them. I absolutely think it did help me, but the way I see it, it helped because it was something to cling onto for a bit of normalcy, and of course, a bit of social interaction. Outside of the pandemic, a job is not nearly as critical for those two things.

I also do personally think that I still broadly like having a job, and I have had almost no gaps in employment since I started working professionally. That said, if money were no object, I would absolutely take breaks off of professional work for months at a time. For me, I find both professional work and hobby work important in very different ways, and wish I had dedicated time for both. Anecdotally I've definitely known engineers who periodically take months or even a year off of work when they get the opportunity and it seems to be a very healthy thing for them.

The existence of UBI would maybe tempt people to rely on it even if it is detrimental to their lives, but I think it's wrong to draw the conclusion that it's bad because jobs can be a source of fulfillment for many. In the future it's very possible we're going to need to approach the problem from another angle anyways, since there's simply no guarantee there will be meaningful work for us all in the future. (I'm not really convinced there won't be, but it feels unreasonable to consider it outside the realm of reasonable possibility.)
I am actually your target market. We are looking to buy a house early next year. But, one thing that put me off is that you don’t list what fees you charge, is it flat rate or a percentage, ..etc.

In the FAQ I see this but no mention of the standard terms of the buyers agreement:

> Do I need to sign a buyer agreement?

> We will let you know if you need to sign a buyer agreement. You will for sure need to sign a buyer agreement when you submit an offer through us, but otherwise we can work out a timeline.

I know you just launched so not assuming any bad intent but it would be good to share pricing information for the services you offer. I have had to deal with lots of “Call us for pricing” in my day job. So, for stuff like this I just move on if I don’t see at least a price range listed somewhere upfront.
I know you aren't necessarily talking about in-editor code assist but something about in-editor AI cloud code assist makes me super uncomfortable.

Cheapness has a quality all its own.

Gemini is substantially cheaper to run (in consumer prices, and likely internally as well) than OpenAI's models. You might wonder, what's the value in this, if the model isn't leading? But cheaper inference could potentially be a killer edge when you can scale test-time compute for reasoning. Scaling test-time compute is, after all, what makes o1 so powerful. And this new Gemini doesn't expose that capability at all to the user, so it's comparing apples and oranges anyway.

DeepMind researchers have never been primarily about LLMs, but RL. If DM's (and OAI's) theory is correct--that you can use test-time compute to generate better results, and train on that--this is potentially a substantial edge for Google.

The vast majority of agents communication is over text and email. It is quite rare that it is required that a realtor must make an in person appearance somewhere, usually that's just for first meetings.

But yes, when stuff like this happens, we'll have a person do the required representation.

Put it like this: if 90% of realtor time is spent on communication that is done over text an email, then each realtor will be able to serve 10x the clients. But that still leaves time for them to show up at a courthouse on a Friday, as you mention

That's how insurance companies are supposed to work? The current price they were charging was presumably based off the assumption that they didn't have to pay 2-4x more for "advanced surgeries". If as a result of this court case it turned out they did, you'd expect prices to go up. It's not any different than insurance companies raising prices after a major disaster.
