> The wording of the 14th Amendment is ambiguous?

It is only ambiguous read in a vacuum. Read in the comtext of the US legal tradition in which it was written and the way the prior English common law tradition was incorporated into that tradition, it is...rather unambiguous. (Most notably, its exactly how the Supreme Court had applied the principles of English common law involved in multiple citizenship cases before the 14th Amendment establishing a uniform Constitutional rule for birthright citizenship was drafted and ratified. )

> If they can get the SCOTUS to reconsider United States v. Wong Kim Ark from 1898 it could go either way.

Sure, if they can get the court to ignore the clear meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the context in which it was written, it can go either way. But Wong Kim Ark isn't like Roe and the line of cases descended from it, its not controversial even within the kind of conservative legal tradition that dominates the court.

The Trump Administration could probably get such a case before the Court if it really wanted to, but even this court I can’t see splitting more favorably to overturning the status quo on this point than 8-1 against.
The folks who wrote the original Zork were AI Lab folks who were generally more interested in the technology than the game design. They weren't really that interested in games as the end state. Which led to Cornerstone but that's another story.

And, yes, computer resources were a big issue. I think you can find at least one presentation from Dave Lebling (maybe?) at GDC where he talks about some of this.

> In order to coerce the Netherlands to align with ASML Export Controls

Oops. You went down the wrong route. The credible threat I'm talking about is over the International Criminal Court potentially prosecuting American service members.

That is as credible as it gets. Elected politicians got together, and signed their promise of it happening into literal law. There is no more credible way for America to signal that they are going to do something besides actually doing it.

Please re-read my comment more carefully. I'm not talking about the ASML or export controls.

> The very fact that you label this as "as credible as it gets" should tell anyone that you and OP are either extremely uninformed, or being intellectually dishonest with an agenda to divide.

You sling a lot of accusations. Try to not guess what I might think. Read my actual words. Thanks.

America did in fact threaten the Netherland with invasion. Credibly. This is a fact. I precisely named my source in my previous comment.

No. They did not do this in context of ASML, nor did I say that they did that.
I am glad we got to your real answer. Which appears to be "we can't do that, we need the ultra-wealthy to spend money on us." One of the lessons of the pandemic is your economy is actually better serviced by many people spending money than by 1 person hoarding it.

You can make the cost of doing business in your country that they have to be worth less than your cap.

But the effect of this is actually that we would realize we don't need the ultra-wealthy. We would likely do better because it would be a significant downward pressure on inequality in the countries that enforced it, and more people would have opportunities to make it big.

Best Practices Are Dead. Long Live Best Practices
It only “doesn’t work” if your goal is to appear morally impeccable to everyone.

If instead of this worrying you

> you will be the one who, according to some, is advocating for things that cause harm and is considered a horrible person.

you have a set of morals that centers something more or different than theoretical other people’s opinions, your example of the current “conflict in the Middle East” is still a good example just not for the reason you stated. It is a perfectly valid ethical position to think that genocide is bad and that people that advocate for genocide are also bad. To pivot to “actually the Really Bad Thing would be if you said that and someone somewhere disagreed with you” is weird and hollow.

“The truly wise know that everything is morally equivalent, except for the pursuit of unbounded approval which is Good for some reason, and believing otherwise is the same thing as getting your morals from comic book movies” isn’t a coherent or defensible moral position. The Marvel movie comparison is a thought terminating cliche.
When I lived in Austin I looked at buying a pair a couple of times (I went to the chains, like Cavender's and Tecovas). But I have funny shaped feet so none of them fit quite right.

Wasn't ASML started based on research funded by the US?

> In 1997, ASML began studying a shift to using extreme ultraviolet and in 1999 joined a consortium, including Intel and two other U.S. chipmakers, in order to exploit fundamental research conducted by the US Department of Energy. Because the CRADA it operates under is funded by the US taxpayer, licensing must be approved by Congress. It collaborated with the Belgian IMEC and Sematech and turned to Carl Zeiss in Germany for its need of mirrors.[25]

Before aiming to not be pushovers, EU should probably study the history of their own companies.
This line in the article resonated with me:

> First, it sets the stage for what was to come, and second, while it was unquestionably a success, it was not my success.

I used to think that success was being successful the way I wanted and I was often frustrated because things were working but not because of the way I wanted them to. Turns out, it's doubly difficult to make things not only work but also work the way I want.

I've since tried to be more open-minded and see wins that perhaps I didn't expect or want still as wins and it's made me feel a lot more successful. One might scoff and say I should hold myself to a higher standard, but at the end of the day, success is only an intrinsic feeling anyways. It's not a measurable metric so I might as well feel better about the progress I'm making.

In the context of the article, the author could see these all as failures, but it sounds like some of these were pretty successful. In fact, the author concludes as much, finding happiness in the "failures". It's all an arbitrary label anyways.
> Trump would not have been forced to hand over power

Can you re-read your sentence and ask yourself if this is a normal thing to say in a working democracy? That this is even on the table means Trump IS a dictator. He was just too dumb to know how to make it work in 2020. From a non American lens, it actually looks like you handed power to a dictator because he won "fair and square" this time. I have trouble believing the US will have another genuine vote in my lifetime.
> and when humans figure out patterns they're allowed to reproduce those as well as they want so long as it's not verbatim, doing so is even considered desirable and a sign of having intelligence

No, doing so is considered a sign of not having grasped the material, and is the bane of secondary-level mathematics teachers everywhere. (Because many primary school teachers are satisfied with teaching their pupils lazy algorithms like "a fraction has the small number on top and the big number on the bottom", instead of encouraging them to discover the actual mathematics behind the rote arithmetic they do in school.)

Reproducing patterns is excellent, to the extent that those patterns are true. Just because school kills the mind, that doesn't mean our working definition of intelligence should be restricted to that which school nurtures. (By that logic, we'd have to say that Stockfish is unintelligent.)

> Me, by hand: [you] [are] [not] [a] [mechanism]

That's decoding the example message. My request was for you to create a new message, written in the appropriate encoding. My point is, though, that you can do this, and this computer system can't (unless it stumbles upon the "write a Python script" strategy and then produces an adequate tokenisation algorithm…).

> but this specific challenge you've just suggested

Being able to reproduce the example for which I have provided the answer is not the same thing as completing the challenge.

> Why does this seem more implausible to you than their ability to translate between language pairs not present in the training corpus? I mean, games like this might fail, I don't know enough specifics of the tokeniser

It's not about the tokeniser. Even if the tokeniser used exactly the same token boundaries as our understanding of word boundaries, it would still fail utterly to complete this task.

Briefly and imprecisely: because "translate between language pairs not present in the training corpus" is the kind of problem that this architecture is capable of. (Transformers are a machine translation technology.) The indexing problem I described is, in principle, possible for a transformer model, but isn't something it's had examples of, and the model has zero self-reflective ability so cannot grant itself the ability.

Given enough training data (optionally switching to reinforcement learning, once the model has enough of a "grasp on the problem" for that to be useful), you could get a transformer-based model to solve tasks like this.

The model would never invent a task like this, either. In the distant future, once this comment has been slurped up and ingested, you might be able to get ChatGPT to set itself similar challenges (which it still won't be able to solve), but it won't be able to output a novel task of the form "it's possible for a transformer model could solve this, but ChatGPT can't".
Nvidia outsourced their manufacturing, as did a lot of similar startups from the 90s. Even back then, VCs didn't want to invest in hardware companies that were going to actually build their own hardware because that's expensive, they wanted companies that designed their products in the USA and had them manufactured by other fabs.

Nvidia got lucky by building a product that just happened to be amazingly well suited to a technology that would emerge 20 years after they were founded. Credit where it's due, they developed CUDA and gave universities gobs of cash/hardware to train students to leverage CUDA for machine learning and later, AI. But if not for AI, Nvidia would still be a video card designer with a market cap of maybe 5% of its current valuation.

It's difficult to call them a hardware company in the sense that Intel is. They only do designs of hardware, and a lot of their value comes from the software they designed to leverage their hardware in ways beyond their initial purpose.

Have you ever seen how Starlark is used in the real world? The rulesets for Bazel and Buck could be described as "scripting". It quite literally automates actions.

Also, you are confusing how bazel uses starlark with starlark itself. It's trivial to expose an open or read_file function.
Or, I don't know? The Netherlands considers the US an ally and if the US asks it, we (sometimes begrudgingly) do it?

Which circles back to the current problem in the White House. Allies don't work on transactionalism and threats. They work using a lot of silent diplomacy and the understanding that you sometimes sacrifice a bit for an ally.

Everybody gets some wins.

I'm looking to buy an MP3 player. My reason for not using my phone as an MP3 player is that there simply aren't any good MP3 player apps on the iOS App Store. Everything either a streaming app, or "free with ads".

Criteria isn't strict, but no devices that are just an Android with the cellular modem taken out, which I see a lot of listings for. Rockbox support is preferred but I've had no luck finding anything in their supported devices list that's not an iPod, used or new.

If you play a version of the original MIT Zork (often called "Dungeon"), you'll find it isn't exactly the three games put together. There really isn't much plot in the original -- like Zork I it is just basically a treasure hunt (as was the Colossal Cave Adventure which inspired it). There are additional puzzles and plots in Zork II and III that have no basis in the original.

This does not feel like at all a good faith reading of the situation. Hardcore anti trans-activists on the right would like to make life so miserable for transpeople as to essentially eliminate them from public life entirely. That is the context in which these supposedly hysterical responses emerge. I say supposedly hysterical because transgender people of all ages do commit suicide at a higher rate than other groups. This should be considered a public health emergency but it largely isn't because transgender people are the most useful scapegoat of the day (even better than immigrants). Of course that doesn't mean that every child who questions their self identity should be given immediate medical intervention, but neither does it mean we should deny care for all.
Is there some kind of reader-mode filtering site one can put a URL in to get a version that undoes this extra effort to remove capital letters? From what I’ve gotten of this piece I think it’s up my alley, but reading it is unpleasant.

I expect there are several categories of people for whom this is even more annoying than for most of us, and who can’t just get over it or re-train their brain to do better without the very-useful cues provided by capital letters, notably dyslexics.

It's very difficult to get past this issue. We have Iranian citizen clients and non-Iranian citizen clients who have visited Iran whose visitor and work visa applications have been pending for more than a year. One option is for your colleague to ask his federal representative to reach out to the Consulate. This is done all the time but to be clear, it usually doesn't help but there's really nothing else to do. In the non-tourist visa application context, some people file mandamus actions, which oftentimes help but I think such an action would just accelerate the denial of the visitor visa application.
