As someone who is very into the "scambaiting" hobby of hunting down identity thieves, phone call scams, etc I would imagine they would look something like these operations you see in India or Russia where you get have an office full of professional thieves calling elderly people and scamming them out of their bank accounts, harvesting data or getting them to sign up for useless subscriptions. In 2023 alone there was $43 billion lost from identity theft. There was $200 billion in fraud from the various covid hardship assistance programs. These programs are huuuge and they have ballooned beyond what is logical in the past few years. Even democrats talk frequently about medicare fraud.
In case anyone needed even more reasons to despise "people in SV".

Totally appropriate. Everytime congress would ask USAID for information on their spending or audit what they were doing, they would just ignore the requests and say they were apolitical. They're not apolitical. The state department is by definition political, and responsible for the US interests. Totally reasonable to roll it under the state department where they will have to answer questions and not refuse audits. It's not going away it's just going to be accountable to the public that pays its budget (the US taxpayer).

Does the US have a constitutional court?

In some constitutional democracies there is a court that sits above the apex court, and they rule on constitutional matters only. I feel this is is an effective check/balance, as it makes the interpretation of the constitution completely unambiguous.
The #1 rule in my home is "Be kind" (not to be confused with "be nice".)

The #1 rule I try to abide by when coding is "Be empathetic" (to others and my future self.)

In practice, this means things like valuing clarity over cleverness (unless I can manage to be both!) and documenting unless I can really justify not (i.e., is it realistically "self-documenting"), but of course also extends to empathy for the user—I'm a front-end dev so much of my work is UI.

You may read this and think "duh" but trust me when I say that in the 20+ years of doing this professionally, those are very clearly not obvious guidelines (even for myself.)

Alright, well you have my respect.
I get the debugging experience, as I've already found it pleasant and painless compared to the difficulty of setting debugging environments in other languages. But for the messages first approach and thinness, what's the real world benefit in practice?
The problem in big part stems from the business culture upstream. They're trying to produce a game, but what they're really after is e-sports money. They design multiplayer to be about organized pro play, which brings in all the cheating problems of professional sports, so they end up subjecting every player to e-sports-grade security like those anti-cheat systems, despite 99.9% of the player base not caring about pro play in the first place.

This is the worst possible combination: players are forced to accept first-party invasive rootkits that are disruptive and ineffective, while cheaters still cheat.

IMHO the only sensible solution is to separate out e-sports angle from the game itself. People who want to "go pro" would be free to subject themselves to anti-cheats and drinking verification cans and past some point might as well buy company-authorized computers to play on. Everyone else should just be allowed to play casually and enjoy the game without the anti-cheat nuisance (and a looming threat of false positive).

With main incentive for serious cheating separated out, non-pro players would only have to worry about griefers. Those are a problem too, but they can be dealt with by simpler and less invasive measures than a kernel-level rootkit.

As it is, AAA multiplayer games are basically like if FIFA was to micromanage Town Recreational Leagues and hold them to the World Cup standard, because cheating is a Big Deal so every kid needs to take regular blood tests before the match.
This seems like a stretch. If I close Wal-Mart headquarters does Walmart still exist? For a little while, maybe. Warehouses will probably run on autopilot, people will still get paid for a bit, etc, but the company is walking dead. What they've done is effectively decapitate an agency without the consent of the legislature.
These are of course non-exclusive, in the sense that crony can be non-US investments. Investing in Middle East efforts such as Neom comes to mind.
> Who cares about the implementation?

I guess one difference between LLM-style AI and most other systems is that when other systems produce the wrong output you can usually step through the code, figure out why, and be confident that the same issue won't happen again.
This is amazing! Consider potentially adding support for WebSpeech api to make it easier. Something like

const voice = speechSynthesis.getVoices().filter(e => e.lang==='zh-HK').at(-1)

speechSynthesis.speak(utterance)
"it will almost certainly double in value in 7 years" implies 10% is an almost certain long term return. It is not.

10 years is a common rule of thumb to double your investment, this is a good guess since after adjusting for inflation, the real return of S&P 500 is about 6.8%. Which is about 10.5 years to double your investment.

(give or take S&P 500 being one of the best returns you will find historically)

Thankfully the open-weights models are trivially jailbreakable regardless of any baked-in guardrails simply because one controls the generation loop and can make the model not refuse.

Hi there. I'm a creative product manager with a deep background in UX research and design and production management. I'm ex BBC and Amazon and my experience runs across startups, SMB and Enterprise for the likes of Fox News, AT&T, TriNet, Coreweave and Live Nation. For the past 10 years, I’ve run HRIS products in the ML/AI space for TriNet and HireRight and also was the first product manager at both Corewearve and inference.ai. I consult regularly on GPSaaS and IaaS topics and also bootstrapped my own package design agency.
Yeah I mean Zucc was only 20 when he started Facebook and popularised the adage "work fast and break things", which was a great strategy for Facebook and its burnt out staff (or those that couldn't hack it) so of course it'll work for the biggest economy in the world too, it's basically the same as a startup, right?
I’m not sure I understand the process vs. initiation distinction you’re asking about, but yes I do believe there are other targets besides amyloid itself which make sense even if the amyloid hypothesis is true.

Easiest thing to do IMO is fund anyone that is over 18 that has paid into Social Security. Anyone younger - simple, reduce taxes to not include it. Phase that fucker out. Get rid of all but 10% of federal income tax.

Also, make all black budget projects that involve underground alien bases public and move it all private, so Elon and other people can just directly invest in those instead of coming out of our taxes through the DOD.

I was asking specifically about how US economic dominance is a factor. Why is USAID more important when US economic dominance is high.
I think that’s extremely debatable. Last I checked “unauthorized access to confidential taxpayer information” was not an election topic

Gee, I'm shocked, shocked, that a guy who stole large numbers of classified documents on his way out the door and stuffed them in unused bathrooms in his house(s) would fail to safeguard confidential taxpayer information.

You're right, it wasn't an election topic. Nobody who had any power cared to make it one, nobody who cared had the power... and nobody else was paying attention.
Beautiful. I love this. I hope you sell millions.
> Secure Boot on most Linux distributions, except for a few that implement TPM-based Secure Boot like ChromeOS Flex and custom Linux builds, is merely intended for UEFI support and Windows dual-boot compatibility, rather than being a genuine mechanism for detecting OS image tampering.

So basically Linux distros without DM-Verity and TPM support? Basically not boot chain verified?

ChromeOS uses coreboot vboot and Flex may use secure boot, but I haven't seen a ChromiumOS fork signed to work with UEFI secure boot, or worse coreboot with vboot, while a Linux distro it's possible with secure boot (I'm not sure about vboot), but to secure it and the software to a similar level, I feel it would just become similar to ChromiumOS, because there's so much software on Linux that is not isolated. I think Flatpak has way too many permissive permissions that even allow access to home directory and system permissions by default. Android apps are better, albeit ChromiumOS doesn't have Android apps enabled, are built with memory safe Java/Kotlin, with denied by default permissions.

QubesOS does isolate Linux applications better than ChromiumOS, but it's just because you can have multiple virtual machines to isolate each Linux application. AFAIK ChromiumOS just uses one virtual machine + container?

It is technically possible to apply DM-Verity but I've only had experience setting it up via initramfs, I heard Android applies it directly from the kernel. Making DM-Verity work on a lot of distros would completely change the way traditional Linux works, and would ideally require something similar to Android and ChromeOS way of working by system updates, to apply those root images. (Or maybe remake a root image, but I want to reduce privilege as much as possible.)

And not just that, traditional Linux out of the gate lets the end-user use root, or a privilege escalation software like sudo/doas, whereas Android/ChromeOS has no root access by default.
Advertising is just a tool. Shopping addiction is really unfortunate but it exists with or without targeted ads - people buying too much stuff has existed since shopping existed.

However, some categories of products are categorically bad, like gambling. So we can ban anything that makes it easier to do those categories.

That doesn't mean it's subject to the whims of the president. When Congress creates independent agencies, they lay out exactly how the president has oversight (usually by hiring and firing the director and/or board).

I remember you pushing this idea (that the independence of independent executive agencies are unconstitutional, or unaccountable, or similar) heavily in a thread a couple days ago. Where is it coming from? AFAIK virtually everyone on both sides has agreed that the independence of these agencies was a Really Good Thing for the last hundred years.

In modern gaming you just make every texture max size even though it only covers a tiny surface and will only fill 6 pixels on a large monitor.

Also, half of their shaders are broken on some configurations. Also they used a function call wrong so their game tries to render something a bunch of times instead of once.

A huge portion of NVidia and AMD GPU drivers is literally hacks to make games actually run well. Both Nvidia and AMD patch game shaders at runtime to keep things from being unusable, and hack around broken behavior or wrong usage of APIs. It's exactly reminiscent of the situation Windows 95 had when all sorts of popular programs couldn't even save interrupt flags properly because they straight up did not read the manual which had many sentences and code fragments demonstrating that what they wrote would not work.

Also, Titanfall 1 shipped with like 30gb of uncompressed audio. They did this to "reduce CPU load". In 2014.
I would be 10X as concerned and so would everyone else because mishandling those programs could absolutely wreck the lives of tens of millions of people.

My point is that a lot of people seem to be in an "ends justify the means" mindset here where it's OK to rubber-stamp over laws, security, any sort of requirements for competence, or even basic understanding of what's being destroyed because in the end, this is chaos is going to have such a tremendous impact.

But, it's not. It mathematically can't. Even if it all turns out amazing it will be a small dent in the problem it's claiming to solve.

So, in the end, all of this is actually just chaos for sake of chaos. In the process, a whole lot of real people will be hurt in real ways. It's not bad at the same scale that "Turn off Medicare until we understand how it works" would be. But, it's nonsensically destructive in exactly the same way.
Even if there aren't location-based salaries as such, there's a lot of "ROFL, we're not going to match your Facebook offer." I worked for someone who eventually ended up with very few California employees and, I believe, eventually closed their relatively small office there.

>Moving is easy

I disagree with this. If you have a relatively small number of possessions living by yourself in an apartment, maybe. But, as you say, with a partner and even kids with an established circle of friends—and maybe a house, is definitely not easy.
This is really cool, thank you for sharing! We've built a similar feature for mitmproxy lately, but with different tradeoffs. Our approach does require root and we don't have automated certificate install (yet), but we don't require apps to run in a dedicated namespace (so you can capture already-running processes). Super awesome to see this now, excited to dive into the code and see how you do TCP reassembly etc. :)
