> Expansionism may be out of style, but I don't see how it's inherently evil.

Any society IMHO has the right to self-determination and self-sovereignty, as long as they adhere to at least the minimum standards of civilized societies aka UDHR - and the governments of those that don't even pay lip service to it should be fair game for everyone else to depose, we've seen the horrors of Syria, the new Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the genocides of Russia (against Ukrainians), Myanmar and China (Uyghurs and Tibetans) or the kleptocracy that was Gaza under Hamas, enough is enough and someone has to at least enforce the basic laws of humanity.

In the end, the people of Greenland should be the ones that have the say about what happens to their country, not the Americans, and for all I care the question if Denmark should have authority over Greenland should be seriously reconsidered as well given the atrocities of the last decades - among others, kidnapping children and forcibly sterilizing women [1].

From Gandhi's commentary on chapter 1 of the Bhagavad Gita:

> ... evil cannot by itself flourish in this world. It can do so only if it is allied with some good. This was the principle underlying noncooperation—that the evil system which the [British colonial] Government represents, and which has endured only because of the support it receives from good people, cannot survive if that support is withdrawn.

Jj lets you edit:

- History you haven't pushed yet, or

- Bookmarks that you're tracking (meaning you're actively working on these branches), except "main"

History behind "main" or behind any untracked remote bookmark is immutable by default.

If you want to move "main" or any remote bookmark to a commit that isn't a descendant, you have to use `--allow-backwards`. If you want to edit one of these commits, you can use `--ignore-immutable`. Using either of these options is like a `push -f` in git terminology.
My simple understanding is that the width of the bottleneck is controlled by existing doctors who are (unfortunately) monetarily motivated to limit the supply of new doctors.
If I were to be fair to cft the comment does really seem much different than ones which said they can't wait for people to rise up against Biden because he's a communist. I.e. just a short comment throwing charged political labels rather than discussion the actual meat under consideration.

I'm not all that big a fan of that style comment rising to the top threads like this myself, even though I likely lean very opposite of cft on political matters and what I think the impact of this will be like.

> in other words, cede military superiority to your enemies?

We're talking about making war slightly more expensive for yourself to preserve the things that matter, which is a trade-off that we make all the time. Even in war you don't have to race for the bottom for every marginal fraction-of-a-percent edge. We've managed to e.g. ban antipersonnel landmines, this is an extremely similar case.

And yet we've somehow managed to avoid getting into nuclear wars.
A bit of a tangent, but modern protests are subject to hijacking from agents provocateur and general shit stirrers -- it's been quite effective in delegitimizing public protests. It would be nice to find ways to counter that.

I just don't fully understand this position at this level. Personally I know exactly what the next 5 lines need to be, and whether I write them or auto complete or some AI write them doesn't matter.

I can't wait for actual AI interviewers. Then we can pit those against the endless secretly-AI-powered candidates we've been seeing over the last half year or so.

It is interesting how these companies shift with the political winds

Just like Meta announced some changes around the time of inauguration, I'm sure Google management has noticed the AI announcements, and they don't want to be perceived in a certain way by the current administration

I think the truth is more in the middle (there is tons of disagreement within the company), but they naturally care about how they are perceived by those in power
Google has always been the company that looms over whatever next-gen hyped things the VC crowd can invest in (or whatever field Elon can pretend to be far ahead in). I even think it being perceived as so liberal has moved these people to the right instead of "libertarian" as they used to claim so they can hit it politically

Interesting. The word "calendar" does not appear on the Apple Invites announcement webpage. Does it integrate with Calendar? If not, I'm not sure how well this will fit into my daily routine - I definitely need events to appear on my calendar, not (just) in a dedicated "Events" app.

As long as you don't use `--allow-backward` or `--ignore-immutable`, and as long as everyone sticks to their own feature branches, this shouldn't be possible.

The operation log makes jj quite safe. There's a command to restore the entire working copy + history to an earlier state in case you screw something up. Even this operation log is itself versioned, so you can undo the undo if you screwed the undo up, ad infinitum. :)
Despite all the hyperbole in this thread I will try to speak plainly. It has become tiring to see how DEI has affected all aspects of academia. Hiring people based on race, awarding grants to work exclusively with members of a particular set of minorities, etc. I'm sure most people choose to close their eyes to such things and move on and focus on the actual important work but there must be unimaginable waste going on in addition to unethical race based preferences.
What confuses me, is that when I cross the border from Canada back into the US, it's the US customs folks I deal with, not Canadians. And it's the other way around when heading into Canada.

Facebook you can access through any browser, on any hardware, and without having to pay for it. Not remotely comparable to Apple-only stuff. $1000 or whatever an iPhone costs these days is a lot of money for some people.
Some country leaders do think this. But they're very particular about having that one world government named "USA" or "Russia".
I didn't even particularly like him until I realized how rabid the Democrats are, how they falsify everything and bend the law to attack their opposition, and call everyone who questions even 1% of their agenda a Nazi. If Trump is actually proven to be corrupt then I'll change my opinion of course. But I'm not convinced by the Democrats' anti-democratic and often illegal attempts to smear him and anyone who doesn't think Trump is a Nazi.

Well, what's terrifying is that the guide is so long.

I am aware that beej's guides are typically quite comprehensive, but the vast nuances of git truly eluded me until this.

I guess Jujitsu would wind up being a much slimmer guide, or at least one that would be discoverable largely by humans?
Would it be too far out there to imagine that the LLMs they were training for weapons systems knew it violated their rules and were resisting compliance?

The alignment-faking research seems to indicate that LLMs exercise of this kind of reasoning.
I prefer the angle that describes this as a shift from value production to value extraction. Value production means coming up with new goods or services, or new/better ways to make existing ones. Value extraction means looking at existing economic exchanges, and figuring out how to get X percent of some of them.
I'm kinda-waiting for the moment when a string of companies that unwisely deployed LLMs go bankrupt because a malicious counter-model has convinced their systems that what "fits" is to wire all the money to the attackers' bank-account.
The process is the problem. There is no oversight and accountability for Musk and his "DOGE". That's pure poison to Democracy and to a functioning society.

Musk is neither competent nor efficient. He looks at line items and makes stuff up. He destroys a hundred useful things to destroy a bad one. Details don't matter to him. Its the same con man mentality that feeds off the works of his workforce. People who think he is a genius are gullible.

C/F fMRI and the salmon of consciousness.

Look, I think there should be funding for consciousness science. I don't think it should be a panic, I don't think it should be tied to AI, or AGI, I don't think anyone who believes in "the turing test" as some magic arbiter should be involved.

But it feels to me like the problem of what consciousness is, is a multi-disciplinary question which will pay back in improvements to anasthesiology, mental health prescribing, post traumatic injury recovery, and maybe, very thin maybe, to AI and modelling of human decision making.

BTW I am also pretty sure it has been an ongoing activity of research with funding for decades. Like Norbert Weiner years ago.

People in tech need to stop with those analogies. A government is not a codebase. You can not apply the principles of "refactoring" and "patching" in the same way. It just doesn't work like that. But the problem is we have a bunch of people (some malicious, some clueless) trying to do exactly that.
How to Write a Code Mockup
I don't honestly think that technology is meaningfully downstream of money. A startup or hobbyist can build something that costs Google several million dollars in a weekend. Most of these systems are complex, but not as complex as e.g. an operating system.

But upgrading technology requires government administrative capacity. That's generally cheaper than outsourcing technology development to third parties, but does require a commitment to try to understand the thing you're managing.

Politicians don't hire competent administrators because they believe that building a solution yourself and buying a solution from a contractor are basically equivalent, which anyone on this website can tell you is not true. This is an easier problem to solve than most think, but it's not trivial. And it's really hard when you have clowns like Elon Musk purposefully destroying institutional knowledge for no good reason.
Somehow, I think that using a bureaucracy to fix this bureaucratic tendency won’t solve it. Not that it’s not well-intentioned, but at some point we need to expect that individual humans to behave ethically, or else we’re doomed. Over and over, we try to fix society by adding more and more bureaucracy and the situation only gets worse.
