I'll preface this by saying I also dislike using chat as a pattern for AI tools. However, in theory, the idea has merit. Just as having 100% of the specifications and design guidance for a product is valuable before development, complete requirements would seem ideal. In reality, though, many requirements and specifications are living documents. Should we expect to rebuild the entire application every time a document changes? For example, if I decide to reduce a header's height, there's a significant chance the application could end up looking or feeling entirely different.

In a real-world scenario, we begin with detailed specifications and requirements, develop a product, and then iterate on it. Chat-based interactions might be better suited to this iterative phase. Although I'm not particularly fond of the approach, it does resemble receiving a coworker's feedback, making a small, targeted change, and then getting feedback again.

Even if the system were designed to focus solely on the differences in the requirements—thus making the build process more iterative—we still encounter an issue: it tends to devolve into a chat format. You might have a set of well-crafted requirements, only for the final instruction to be, "The header should be 2px smaller."

Nonetheless, using AI in an iterative process (focusing on requirement diffs, for example) is an intriguing concept that I believe warrants further exploration.
No, it means that Spotify is way way better - for both us, the consumers, and the authors which can reach way more audience way cheaper than through the old publishers.
DOGE did feature prominently in the campaigning and some of us did vote for the full package primarily holding our nose on other parts of the campaign that we were not happy with specifically because we wanted to see this happen.

What's your point here? Our system is set up to give outsized power to whoever secures a majority of the electors. There may be a better alternative but are you complaining about the system being flawed or complaining that the numbers didn't go your way? The rest of us also had to put up with decisions under previous administrations that we didn't appreciate despite only a similar number of people actually voting for the administration.
So was I, now I'm over 40 and boy oh boy can I tell you how I would definitely not trust myself at that age going into such critical systems.

> US shipbuilding rose to a dominant position while it was in place.

You seem to be omitting the fact that the US sank pretty much every non-allied boat in the ocean during WWII and bombed every shipyard outside of England. That created a MASSIVE advantage.
> As much as I respect Bertrand Russell, I'm not sure if _Principia Mathematica_ is the last word on mathematics for the century.

I feel like they picked it because not much original mathematics is published in book form. Most of the work that shaped the century in mathematics was published as papers.

They might also have picked it because Russell published books that are readable by laypeople, so in the unlikely event that someone tried to read Principia Mathematica because of this list, they could put it down and pick something else by Russell to read instead.
Are there are any other approaches for this problem? Seems like there should be.

The Capitol Police Board oversees and supports the United States Capitol Police in its mission and helps to advance coordination between the Department and the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives and the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate, in their law enforcement capacities, and the Congress. Consistent with this purpose, the Capitol Police Board establishes general goals and objectives covering its major functions and operations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations.

The Capitol Police Board consists of the Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the U.S. Senate, and the Architect of the Capitol. The Chief of the United States Capitol Police serves in an ex-officio non-voting capacity. The Chairmanship alternates annually between the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms.

Possibly. If I were in Congress, I would try to do something about it, but I'm not and pretty impotent in this regard.

But we have to pretend that China is our friend. We have to pretend that even if they have some internal problems, that they're on track to becoming this reasonable democracy. We have to pretend that the Han are a people who are willing to coexist as equals on this planet with non-Han, and that though they've always historically been concerned only with their traditionally held geography, that they won't have [cough]Tibet[cough] expansionist ambitions on that continent or others.

I don't know what could be done about all of this. If, for instance, there were another president who wanted to do something about it, and tried to spur redevelopment of our industry and economy, even ignoring all the political bullshit he'd have to navigate... what happens when the secret talks somehow leak to the Chinese intelligence servies (as they inevitably would), and they start interfering before he could even start? Not that I like the idea of a president taking such power, but the idea that 535 Congressmen should instead do it openly (or could do it secretly) when the Chinese would sabotage such efforts is sort of absurd. Painted into a corner, and the people who painted us here are all senile or dead of old age.

Interesting how you assume everyone with concerns must have voted for them. Maybe brush up on how voting percentages work - you'd be surprised how many Americans can be affected by election outcomes regardless of how they personally voted. Math is fun that way!

Funny how quickly we jump to 'you must have voted for them' these days. Maybe the real problem isn't who voted for who, but how we've all gotten so used to seeing each other as enemies instead of neighbors who sometimes disagree. Just a thought.

I'm interested to see what happens with this from a FISMA perspective. In my experience, the closest thing there is to inter-departmental enforcement of FISMA is SESers and system owners being afraid of political optics attempting to explain their failures to congress and OMB's CIO council. I don't see how either of those are going to be a deterrent for DOGE under the Trump administration, who both controls OMB and is willing to battle with congress.
Of course the first thing anyone talks about are the now far-less-secured data on every US citizen's SSN, DOB, Addresses, Bank Accounts, Taxes, TelNos Emails, etc. now held not (only) in the well-secured US Govt internal networks, but now off on some Musk-run network setup by a handful of naive interns. And of course the implications when Musk and/or Trump make good on promises/threats to use that access to directly screw with the payments through that system.

What I have not yet seen even mentioned is how useful the data on networks or connectomes of people, corporations, and other entities would be to someone like Musk or his friends in Russia and China. This connectivity data has long been recognized as Facebook's greatest asset. Musk already has huge amounts of data on who is linked to whom by owning Twitter, and has most of their phone numbers &/or emails. He can now correlate those two data sets and any others he might want to purchase and ... 3. Profit!

What do you see as possibilities for steps 2 and 3?
Bad analogy. There are many dimensions in which my experience as a dairy cow may be affected by ownership.

In the case of an investment fund, there's really just customer service and rate of return. If I have a good experience in those dimensions, why should I be concerned with ownership structure?
Database Uniqueness and Combinatorial Topology
The title here is deceptive and I'm not sure the study authors did a good job of characterizing their results. They found that Democrats were likely to see less Democrat-aligned content than Republicans were to see Republican-aligned content. But Republican-aligned as a category included both pro-Republican and anti-Democrat content and the big difference was that Democrats saw less anti-Republican and more anti-Democrat videos. Which may seem like a conspiracy until you imagine the amount of anti-Harris/"uncommitted" content that was on TikTok during the election cycle. Even if you think that have an edge to the a Republican ticket I don't think you could reasonably describe a video by a DSA guy decrying the bombing of Gaza as a pro-Republican video.

Perhaps more succinctly, there was more anti-Democrat material from both sides (and the binary clarification system is reductive in a way that obscures what's going on)

Clearchannel (which became IheartRadio) owns most radio stations (>850) in the US. They fired hundreds of DJ's in ~2011.

https://archive.nytimes.com/mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2...

When I was a kid in the 1980's I used to call the DJ and request songs A LOT. When I was a teen I used to call in to win contests. Now when I listen to a 'I<3Radio' station in the garage, its clear all the DJ segments are pre-recorded and everything is automated. Its all soundbites. Its all garbage. Its all advertisements. Its the same ~30 songs on rotation.

The Theory Behind Understanding Failure
It would help solve bots absolutely, but there are other ways to approach fraudulent activity. I don’t see a huge downside personally, but I’m not in the industry. Given it’s a large, competitive market and this change appears revenue neutral, I think there must be underlying reasons neither of us are aware of.

If the majority of artists and labels wanted this system I don’t see why they couldn’t lobby and negotiate for it?
It's an evergreen moral panic.

Historically, we retrospectively recognize the seminal importance of scenes that had virtually zero participants, and rather than regretting that those scenes were so tiny and demonizing the distribution networks that served less-seminal music to the vast majority of listeners, we romanticize the marginality of those scenes.

But when we see the same thing playing out contemporaneously, with creative niche music reaching tiny numbers of listeners and not getting traction via the distribution networks that serve the vast mainstream, we treat it as a crisis.
True but I think it's out of touch to not see the trans part as effecting the severity factor to it. Like some of the first advice most trans women get only wear shoes you can run in. Where in my experience if you aren't enough of those three you'll get chased down and no one will care to help.

An example of where this is going is Apple's so-called "System Integrity Protection"[1] which is essentially an access level to system files that's even higher than root. It's Apple arrogantly protecting "their" system from the user, even from the root user:

System Integrity Protection is designed to allow modification of these protected parts only by processes that are signed by Apple and have special entitlements to write to system files, such as Apple software updates and Apple installers.

Only Apple can be trusted to operate what is supposed to be your computer.

Not really in the style of degenerate drinking. Bud light can’t put out an ad of people beer bonging in a public park. They have to look upstanding, grilling in the backyard of a private home, not overindulging. Likewise with creme brule torch companies; they can’t advertise on grounds for drug use.
Political pundits for major outlets (538, New York Times, Washington Post) reference this constantly. It's mentioned all the time in media to the point where when people talk about congressional approval I turn my brain off because I know they'll say some version of "congressional approval is low but people generally approve of their congressman".

Speaking of the artists, I keep seeing articles about Lo-Fi being AI generated, but nobody ever lists who the authentic human artists are. The folks who love the genre and are making music because they love it, not just slinging out track after track where each one is being uploaded to Spotify under multiple artist names.

Surely there are many genuine, human Lo-Fi artists, and I'd love to know who they are.

That’s a cute setup there, but misses the point. The west—aka white people—don’t have any ”innate“ traits that make them superior to other humans. The entire foundation of our lives is built on the exploitation of others over hundreds of years. Suggesting that is the natural order of things is twisted bullshit, and we’ve heard it a hundred years before. It was wrong then, it is wrong now. Even alluring to that school of thought is wrong.

And no amount of „admit you like being privileged“ changes that.

I've worked with a wide range of brilliant people of various ages in my life. Nothing I've seen about these kids makes me think they are significantly smarter than the somewhat-above-average folks I've worked with. Historically, the government has hired people like this (for example the NSA pulls in some number of mathematically inclined graduates every year; NIH has brilliant interns, etc, etc).

And none of these kids skills mean they are particularly well suited to the subtle job of reforming the establishment.

As others have mentioned, we have gone through this in human history before, say when looms became automated and huge employers disappeared overnight. Things change, and those that come after us, wont miss the things that disappeared; nobody is calling for the destruction of automated looms today in order to restore those manual jobs.

To my mind, the problem is one of expectations, and wildly out of control governments which empower corporate monopolies. It has disempowered small, local communities to trade and lift each other up, in small and simple ways.

In general, I'm wary of places with relaxed enough informal policies that somebody could just walk over to a machine and fiddle with it. It's not that I actually intend to do some kind of top secret computing on Internet-facing machines like those, but I also don't want to have to be _as_ concerned about those edge cases when I'm deciding which things to run or host on it.

Two years - Congress is replaced every two years. 1/3 of the Senate is replaced every two years. Given that they've only been in office for two weeks, two years seems like a long way off.
Respectfully, this is such a Valley attitude that one would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. The fact that this approach "works" on software and tech in general, does not make it a philosophy to live by IMHO. And I quote "works" because it doesn't always work, and even when it does, it produces a subpar experience for the end user, that sometimes the user has no option (or escape energy) but to withstand.

This might work when the thing you are constantly breaking is optional for me to use. I will keep using as long as the value it gives me outweighs the breakage pain. If you break it enough times, I might just get fed up with it and not use it anymore, or go with a competitor. It is a risk that YOU are taking with your product, that sometimes will work and sometimes will not.

In the case of the government social apparatus being handled by techie kids in crunch time, THEY are not the ones taking the risk, but the population that depends on those systems. There is a reason why those systems are analysed ad infinitum before replacing them or changing them. And yes, they evolve slower than modern tech systems, but most of the time there is good reason for it.

They might be ok with a release in production with a couple of bugs and come back on Monday and say -oops- on your morning standup. This is something that should not be acceptable when we are talking about services that millions of people's livelihoods depend on.

They can YOLO it all they want, in their private endeavour, with their (optional to me) product. They do NOT get to YOLO it with my life's critical things.

I work on GenAI in the media domain, and I think this will hold true with other fields as well:

- Text prompts and chat interfaces are great for coarse grained exploration. You can get a rough start that you can refine. "Knight standing in a desert, rusted suit of armor" gets you started, but you'll want to take it much further.

- Precision inputs (mouse or structure guided) are best for fine tuning the result and honing in on the solution itself. You can individually plant the cacti and pose the character. You can't get there with text.
There must be some confusion because they aren’t cutting programs approved by congress. They are literally cutting funds that were NOT explicitly approved by congress only.
Federal layoffs 'likely' if too few employees choose to quit, memo says
> If you keep revenue and control combined (a simple share structure, where each share gets a piece of the revenue and a vote, and employees get shares when they join), then you have other paradoxes. To make this work, you need to prohibit employees from selling their shares to investors, otherwise you're back to a conventional corporation. You also need to take the shares away from employees when they leave the company, otherwise former employees become a de facto investor class that you wanted to avoid

If I understand the notifications flow correctly: a device (typically mobile phone) will get a "registration" with a "push url" from its platform/provider (eg android/google or iphone/apple), which it hands to an application server (eg IMAP server), which then uses that to send notifications to the push url, "authenticating" with vapid. And due to vapid, no special account/preregistration is required for the application server to talk to the provider, hence decentralized (good!). The platform/provider behind the push url makes the notification appear at the device. It is quite a complicated way to get a message from server to device...

The post says it is about Android. But I'm online searches turns up documents about VAPID at apple/ios. Will it work there too? What about other platforms (eg non-google android-likes)?
