The other parties you mentioned would probably have less motivation to preserve it, let alone restore it to a fully functional state. I find it rather bizarre that many posters here seem to think that it’s morally preferable for the TV set to rot in Japan rather than getting the proper care in the hands of an American collector, all because of some imaginary cultural baggage.

This is the same for a lot of supposed “theft” by museums. Lots of “priceless” objects now were at the time junk, so they were thrown away.
I don't have an electric car (not against it in principle but waiting for the right time).

One thing that always bothers me is that, from what I've seen, queuing for charging seems to be based on coordination and trust between EV drivers. Surely it would make far more sense to have some kind of virtual queuing system built in. Then when a charger becomes free it automatically sends you an alert and gives you some period to connect to the charger.

Longer term, I would hope charging stations would be designed with a layout which lets cars queue sensibly.
DMCA has withstood a lot of 1A tests in court, even some very specific and narrow fair-use claims. The suggestion that the entire law is infringing is simply unfounded. There are many limitations that the court allows on speech under the 1A, and most of those aren't even listed as exceptions in the Constitution, as copyright is in section 8. As unpopular as it may be, the constitutionality is pretty solid.

> Repealing DMCA

Be careful what you wish for. Repealing DMCA would mean repealing Safe Harbor provisions, which would just make it just about impossible to run websites with user-submitted content. DMCA might have some problems, but do you really want website owners to be held liable for everything a user posts on their site?

> Since section 8 exists DMCA is nearly entirely redundant.

Absolutely not. There is zero overlap between the two. Section 8 doesn't establish any copyright law at all. It merely establishes Congress's right to regulate it.

> Repealing DMCA would do nothing to strip copyright owners of their rights.

That's a pretty loaded statement to make. There are obviously things that rights owners couldn't do if the DMCA was repealed. I think what you're really arguing that those things don't matter? That could be a valid opinion, but it's still irrelevant. If Congress has the power to regulate something, they also have the power to regulate it ineffectively.
> It's not the devs in the sense of the coders, but more the senior managers and directors. I.e the Altmans and Nadellas. Software devs will be mid-tier just as today.

True, but devs will power the machine in return for insane rewards and because their intellectual curiosity will be partially manipulated. (Have you ever heard a company say, "this is where you can use your creativity to make a positive difference?" I have...)

> Institutional and social media will become more sophisticated in shaping public opinion. It will be bolstering the political party or parties that support AI. Oligarchy will be more entrenched.

100% agreed.

> I'm not convinced we'll make the energy, it will be some significant multiple of the energy devoted to the AI itself to have much impact. People will still work at least as much as they do today, except for a slightly enlarged plutocracy.

I think we probably will. Energy use by tech has been going steadily up and why else is Microsoft looking to nuclear reaction for AI and other companies are investing in wind?

> If there are more people in the world, living standards will barely budge. For example, robots replacing doctors and surgeons completely will only happen if the profit generated by them is great, and if they are plentiful there will not be as much profit. So not really any greater availability of medical care, and fewer humans earning bread from medicine.

I think that's plausible, although remember that profit may start to be replaced by direct resource acquisition. If the entire supply chain is automated, money isn't required to obtain final products from that supply chain IF you're at the top.

> There will be interesting culture clashes, because different places will apply it at different rates to different priorities. What do you think the real priorities will be for Saudi Arabia to adopt? How long would it take for Egypt to adopt, and for what purpose? Kazakhstan? Libya? Pakistan?

That is a scary thought too.

I'm kind of pro Amazon regardless of their ruthless capitalism simply because I don't think regular people could have come up with the conveniences Bezos came up with. He improved QOL for people, period. Unions would never have allowed something like Amazon to evolve to what it is today.

This is not true for all companies, but I think it's particularly true for Amazon.

There's a Danny Hillis talk on this but I couldn't find it.
I did. Not a year but 6 months. Combined it with building a business and working on my mental and physical health. + living in 3 countries.

In terms of “hacking on my own things”, I highly recommend it. Not needing to work allowed me to make a lot of progress in 6 months. I tried different businesses, and was able to focus way better than “hacking in the side / after my 9-5”.

In terms of physical and mental health, I also recommend it. Make sure to not work 16 hours a day and try to enjoy the free time as well. For me it meant going to the gym daily, doing more boxing sessions, and traveling a lot.

Lastly, in terms of healing burnout, I’m not sure yet. I’m learning now that burnout can be triggered by different reasons. So if you are tired from corporate, take a year off, and then come back to corporate, I doubt your previous issues with corporate will just vanish. But as always, YMMV.

Lastly lastly, didn’t have any issues with recruiters. On the contrary, it makes hell of a story.

Good luck. Feel free to reach out or check my blog, where I posted some notes form my sabbatical. Links/email/socials are in my profile.
In terms of annual deductible, claims are always dated to the date of service regardless of when they were submitted or adjudicated. I think what you're asking for is that if a prior authorization request is submitted in one plan year then all claims linked to that request should be counted towards the deductible in that plan year regardless of the date of service. That might help some plan members but would hurt others depending on timing.

Health plans covered by the CMS-0057-F final rule are generally required to issue decisions on prior auth requests within 7 days. But that rule doesn't apply to most private commercial health plans.

Ok, where do you nerds hang out and why am I not there?? I'm loving this discussion, y'all seem to be a rather rare breed of dev though. Where is the community for whatever this sort of dev is called? i.e., Clojure has the Clojurians Slack, the Clojurians Zulip, we have an annual Clojure conference and a few spin-offs. Where do you guys hang out??

Don't worry, if you believe in your AI magic so much just have it to teach you the concepts of the trade. The snark is because I think the AI hype is insanity and have lost respect for anyone who "claims" to actually use it. I try every. single. time. To replicate anyone's claimed success, and EVERY.

> 90% CL: Top search engine results completely inundated by LLM text

Are you sure you meant this as a prediction for 2025? It has been months, if not years, since search engines have been inundated by LLM articles.

The pursuit of advertising dollars has even made many long-tail queries worthless. Results often are a pile of AI-generated spam sprinkled with display ads and biased affiliate links. Ad blockers can deal with some of that, but there remains the problem of not finding appropriate results to many search queries.

This has been the sad state of the web for quite some time, and it’s just going to worsen.

Relatable!

When I was about 14, my mom got a new TV and I got the 27” Trinitron. I was simultaneously excited and terrified. I would have to move it.

My arms were too short to get around it. Somehow we made it down the basement stairs without help. By “we” I mean the TV and I. I got it across the room and onto the TV stand.

33 year old me would definitely need an Advil after.

Cool project, but this doesn't replace langsmith at all.

The power of langsmith is seeing full traces of moving through the graph and being able to inspect the inputs and outputs for each step. I suppose your framework supports that but langsmith is all free out of the box. Your code is really a replacement for open telemetry or something akin to new relic / datadog. Which is a much tougher sell IMO. Why use this over open telemetry?

Given I have never heard of any of {hazelcast, infinispan, IMDG, EntryProcessors}, even that kind of wrong would probably be a improvement by virtue of reducing the time I spend working on the wrong answer.

But only "probably" — the very fact that I've not heard of those things means I don't know if there's a potential risk from trying to push this onto a test server.

Review by Senate Democrats finds more unreported luxury trips by Clarence Thomas
6 months after the grand opening the east coast locations looked as if they were being liquidated not ramping up. To hide the fact that they couldn’t get the inventory mix they needed the staff were spacing out what little they did have. E.g. An entire aisle of king sized duvets with huge empty gaps, and no twin or queen sized to be found.
As both the payer and provider sides of the industry have consolidated to gain more negotiating power this sort of "payvider" vertical integration is inevitable. Kaiser Permanente has operated like that for many years and they only rarely authorize referrals to outside providers. UnitedHealth Group is moving in a similar direction by expanding provider groups under their Optum subsidiary.

https://www.optum.com/en/care.html

The other approach is to to shift from the current fee-for-service financial model to a capitated value-based care model. Under that model, claims basically disappear and payers hand over a set fee per member per month to a health system which then becomes responsible for doing whatever is necessary to keep that patient healthy. Early trial VBC pilot programs have been encouraging but it's tricky for providers to get the actuarial calculations right.

>This is precisely the sort of situation where taking the average is an awful way to ignore injustice - the poor get much poorer and the rich get much richer but everything is ‘neutral’ on average.

That has nothing to do with the ethics of capitalism, though. The poor becoming poorer and the rich becoming richer is not a foregone conclusion of a capitalist society, nor is it guaranteed not to happen in a non-capitalist society.
I cannot figure out if this is some kind of misguided satire or whether the writers of this piece are just that clueless.

Very nice and a bit of a surprise to me. I hope they are correct.

But unless some form of full inspections or spraying N/S America wide for containers coming from overseas, we will probably have more of these.

With the direction/trend of the "US Gov." being run as a business for the past 40 years, I believe we could very well see these hornets arrive in other areas.

Correlation != causation. Furthermore, the business models of a phone manufacturer are much different from a social media platform. Most phone manufacturers still make the bulk of their money directly from the end-user paying them cash (either for the device itself, or associated services), where as social media platforms primarily make their money from renting access to their captive audience to advertisers.

"if your wages go up with inflation, and you store money in stocks/bonds that keep up with inflation"

This depends on at least four premises:

a) that your wages at least track with inflation

b) that your expenses (not debt) track less than inflation

c) that you can buy into stocks/bonds before the inflation AND they track at least with inflation

If any of those are untrue, your conclusion falls apart.

If all three are untrue, your expenses are growing faster than your wages and the little you have left over is now buying already-inflated assets.. which we've seen play out once in recent times.
Once people open the door to using race based discrimination as a tool, they often find it is used in ways they find reprehensible.

It is simply naive to think that the threat of malpractice discipline by state medical boards would deter bad actors from delivering wasteful or unnecessary care. The fee-for-service financial system heavily incentivizes over treatment. If you don't believe me then read "The Price We Pay" by Dr. Marty Makary. It documents many such incidents for which the providers were never punished.

Say somebody unlocks AGI, whats the first thing they ask it to do? They might ask it to develop a strategy and tools to make sure its the only AGI. They might hack, buy, or even physically destroy any competition.

(This may be done covertly, or with a government mandate.)

Then once you have the only AGI, you have to ask yourself what you really want. You have wealth, you have power, what are you going to do with it?

Do you want to bring peace and happiness to the world? Impose your morals on everybody else? Do you want to fix the environment? Do you just want more and more and more until you own everything?

Most of the merchants seem to be somewhere between indifferent and complicit in what Honey is doing, so there is no problem there (the teaser for part two seems to elude to what happens to the merchants who don't play along).

The Chrome team seems like the one that would be most pissed about this. While some aspects of their management of the extension ecosystem are problematic, they make an effort regarding trust and security. The reason Honey has to be so aggressive in getting you to click a button in that popup window is the browser won't allow it to interact with the page (to swap out the cookies) until the user has affirmatively interacted with the extension on that page. That is intended to prevent extensions from maliciously manipulating third-party sites without user consent.
I replaced Evernote with Joplin about 5ish years ago. It was super easy in my case, so maybe it's worth checking into. I haven't used the desktop app recently, but it was always snappier than evernote at the very least.
