IANAL, but my understanding is that that effectively is what SCOTUS does most of the time, i.e. very few issues make it to SCOTUS that aren't constitutional questions. In any case, there is not any higher court like you're describing.
Indeed, my appologies.
While I’m not interested in marketing, my focus over the next year will be to get better at sales. One of my best friends is in technical sales and he gave me a few books to read.

I consider marketing, broad based brand awareness and “sales” to be more one on one. Of course I’m talking B2B.

Context: I’m a “staff” cloud consultant at a 3rd party consulting firm and was previously a mid level cloud consultant (L5) working directly ar AWS (ProServe). I just got into consulting four years ago from hands on keyboard development + cloud architecture at smallish product companies. I’m really new to this.

Currently, when I come into a project, I already know from a thousand foot view what the customer wants - the business problem they are trying to solve or the opportunity they are going after since sales has already spoken to them and I’ve spoken to sales.

My job is to get them there (well now to lead a team) and to convince them that the solution I present to them is the right one. But my job is still just to convince the decision makers. Sales handles talking to the people who control the purse strings.

My next goal is to convince clients they need something that they didn’t know they needed instead of convincing them that we are the people that can help them execute on an initiative they already know they want.

Hopefully moving closer to the customer will provide some protection against software development getting commoditized to cheaper places (more likely) or AI (less likely)

Absolutely fucking yes.
I disagree, that's throwing away the 1979-era qualifier of management decision, as distinct from the decisions made by an hourly employee (or computer) following a pre-made checklist (or program.) It's not the same as FizzBuzz "deciding" to print something out.

Related qualifiers might be "policy decision" or "design decisions".
This is the only thing I think of now when I hear "that's amore" - https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/22/science/moray-eels-eat-la...
Further context here: Ed Martin is the guy who supported pardoning rioters from Jan. 6th and also claims that the 2020 election was rigged. It would be appropriate to say he doesn't have the most politically lucid track record.

On the plus side, this sort of wanton cronyism should correlate with an uptick in nations recognizing how head-up-ass insane American politicians are.
We let corporations be unaccountable, so why would we treat computers any different.

I'm Jonathan — a builder, marketer, and frontend developer who loves working at the intersection of technology and growth. I’ve bootstrapped a marketing agency to $60K/month, run multi-million-dollar ad campaigns, and built sites and automation systems that help businesses scale.

Here's some things that I can help with:

- Running Profitable Ads (Meta, Google)

- Landing Page Development

- Conversion Rate Optimization, A/B Testing

- Advertising Offers/Strategy

- Dashboards/Analytics/Tracking

I’ve worked with startups, private equity firms, and everything in between. If you're looking for someone who can bridge the gap between engineering and growth, let’s chat!
> * Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) “Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk”

> * Rep. Chris Murphy (D-CT) “This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let’s call it what it is.” -And- "Let's not pull any punches about why this is happening. Elon Musk makes billions off of his business with China. And China is cheering at this action today. There is no question that the billionaire class trying to take over our govt right now is doing it based on self-interest."

> * Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) "It is a matter for Congress to deal with, not an unelected billionaire oligarchy named Elon Musk. And Elon, if you want to run USAID, get nominated by Trump and go to the Senate and good luck in getting confirmed."

> * Rep. Van Hollen (D-MD) “We asked to enter the Aid building, really on behalf of the American people, but to talk to Aid employees, because … there’s been a gag order imposed on Aid employees. So we wanted to learn first-hand what’s happening. We were denied entry based on the order that they received from Elon Musk and Doge, which just goes to show that this was an illegal power grab by someone who contributed $267bn to the Trump effort in these elections.”

Estimated crowd of 100 protesters (reported). Other attendees and speeches made by Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly, Omar, Olzewski, Senator Van Hollen (seems like more maybe there not much coverage to confirm)
It's the style of law that says "Anything not explicitly permitted, is banned."
There is nothing special about game development that justifies not knowing/caring about security. It's 2025. Everyone is deploying into a hostile environment (the world). Security is now a horizontal that cuts across all kinds of development: frontend, backend, web, mobile, PC, console. You can't just say "Oh, security is the job of a Security Developer. I am just a Xyz Developer."
YouTube is also not locking you in a cell and physically depriving you of your freedom as opposed to the original analogy.

There's no book publisher as big as YouTube/Google but that doesn't break the analogy, and there are plenty of other places you can host video online.
You’ve set up an either-or here that fails to take into account a wide spectrum of thought around accountability and punishment.

When it comes to computers, the computer is a tool. It can be improved, but it can’t be held any more accountable than a hammer.

At least that’s how it should be. Those with wealth will do whatever they feel they need to do to shun accountability when they create harm. That will no doubt include trying to pin the blame on AI.
While hard/impossible in practice, I agree.

> I try to keep emotion out of this newsletter. I have always tried to write Notes on the Crises in a calm, detached tone so that the information I highlight shines through. However, I must be honest with readers: I’m absolutely terrified. When I first read the Washington Post’s reporting I subsequently had a panic attack. I am not subject to those. I didn’t have one during the start of Covid-19 when I started writing about the full health, economic, and political consequences in March 2020 and knew before many, many people that millions would die. Nor at any time subsequently did I have one. Even as someone who has spent an unusual amount of time thinking about the Treasury’s internal payments system for a person who has never been in government, I find grasping the full implications of Elon Musk and his apparatchiks reaching into and trying to exert full control over the Treasury’s payment system mind-boggling.

> There is nothing more important on the entire planet than getting Elon Musk and DOGE out of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and allowing career civil service employees to run the Treasury’s internal payments system without capricious and self-serving interference from billionaires and their allies. This effort must fail if we are to safeguard any semblance of due process and lawfulness in the executive branch. A vague anonymous promise that DOGE only has “read only” access is not enough. They need to be rooted out so that we can return to the slower moving, less dangerous, “five alarm fire” constitutional crisis we were having as of Friday morning.
Hey HN!

I built BoltNote.ai because I absolutely hate dealing with traditional IT ticket systems—it feels like you spend more time creating, updating, and tracking tickets than actually solving problems. During my time at Tesla, this became painfully clear. So I decided to build a solution that’s more flexible, more immediate, and less of a chore.

BoltNote.ai uses LLMs to automatically organize notes, surface connections between ideas, and provide quick, context-aware answers. The idea is to help you spend more time doing real work instead of just writing it down or juggling countless tickets.

Link: https://boltnote.ai

*Why it might be useful:*
- Automatically groups notes and extracts key insights
- Visual mind map feature to see connections at a glance
- Context-aware chat for quick Q&A from your own notes
- Currently free to use while I gather feedback

I also wanted to mention that I self-built this using Cursor—it’s been a great workflow for rapidly prototyping and refining. I’d love any thoughts or suggestions you have. Let me know if something’s broken or confusing, or if you have ideas for how it could be better. Thanks!

> Theatrics is really all the Dems ever do these days.

They have no power. They can't set the agenda; they can't get legislation to the floor; they can't call investigations. They certainly can't arrest lawbreakers. All they can do is make a case against the ruling party. And if they do it quietly and politely, no one will hear it. So really, it is political malfeasance for them not to be theatrical.

All they can do is make Republicans pay some price for the destruction they are bringing to the country and the world. And this requires theatrics. They have no other levers they can pull.
> Maybe in 60s that kinda of classification would have been fine, but not now, right?

Thus classical, as a reference to the idea that:

This sounds like a conflation of responsibility with accountability. A machine responsible for emitting a certain amount of radiation on a patient can and should be reprogrammed. The company and/or individuals that granted a malfunctioning radiation machine that responsibility need to be held accountable.

(Contract only)

Experienced (10+ yrs) full stack product engineer. Very good at both web & mobile & desktop apps, APIs, Postgres, Linux, mentorship, and communication in general. Touch typist, VIM ninja, refactoring monster. With an academic background of philosophy.

Been developing a lot of different projects for different teams, company types (startups, scale-ups, enterprise) and industries (fintech, adtech, edtech, e-commerce, BI).

My technical specialty is building simple systems with few moving parts that contain as little accidental complexity as possible. I'm pragmatic but always chase proper implementations at the same time. I don’t easily buy the hype nor subscribe to every new shiny tool & paradigm. I focus on robust & reliable software as much as possible.

My business specialty is caring greatly about understanding your domain, business model, figuring out your product priorities and actually iterating fast. In a world where the majority of software projects fail and the majority of engineering hires disappoint, I am promising you the peace of mind of knowing that you have an actually capable engineer beside you who understands your business model, cares about your investment and is able to make good judgements.

Always looking for interesting & challenging projects and smart people.

Feel free to contact if you don't have the luxury of failure.

Have been having a lot of laughs about all the things we call AI nowadays. Now it’s becoming less funny.

To me it’s just generative AI, LLMs, media generation. But I see the CNN folks suddenly getting “AI” attention. Anything deep learning really. It’s pretty weird. Even our old batch processing, SLURM based clusters with GPU nodes are now “AI Factories”.
We'd all love to agree on limiting handouts to things that give the American people nothing in return... good luck convincing Trump though.

To stop people from making illegal decisions ahead of time, and not just to punish them after. If there is no accountability to an AI, then a person making a killer robot would have no reason to not make a killer robot. If they were more to be imprisoned for making a killer robot, then they would be less likely to make a killer robot.

In a world without accountability, how do you stop evil people from doing evil things with AI as they want?

This is a nice essay, with an excellent example of the challenges and art of literary translation. But the author seems to assume that "computer translation" is limited to services like Google Translate or DeepL: put in a text, get a translation, with no consideration of the context or purpose. Properly prompted LLMs yield much better results and are already helping human translators produce better translations than they could on their own. Whether a completely automated workflow is possible for translating literary texts in an artful and engaging way—I don't know. But I wouldn't reject that possibility out of hand.

It's a terrible opinion and free speech means people can call out harmful beliefs and behavior. Society is all about establishing social norms, so it's almost an obligation. You are free to be wrong and ostracized.

Matches are so made that you will only fight vehicles with a similar strength. Each vehicle has its own rating and a a slight (dis)advantage is tolerated to more easily find a match.

Problem is, nerfed vehicles like the HSTV-L have a higher rating than OP stuff like the 2S38, even though the HSTV-L is worse than it actually should be IRL.

The higher BR a vehicle has the more capable vehicles it has to fight.

French people have brains and hands. They also have Jacques Lacan.

IOT for me seems to come from the perpsective that human beings are brainless, stupid and lazy and the thinking is that something technical can replace simple day to day human engagement with the world, stuff like locking and unlocking a door DOH!, turning a light bulb on and off DOH!, turning the radio on DOH!, setting an alarm clock DOH! and speaking to an inanimate object to select your favourite song DOH!.

Having IOT does not make life easier. Just use your hands and brain, thats why you have them.
Oh I am a powdered detergent truther already. I use the prewash tray. I clean the filter. I follow the manual to a tee. And you know what it says? Heat the water up out of the tap.

Only if there's inflation. If there's no inflation then people won't do anything. Most people don't know what's going on because they get their information from social media echo chambers. Truly a dystopia in the making.
Saying you need to verify "literally everything" both overestimates the frequency of hallucinations and underestimates the amount of wrong found in human-written sources. e.g. the infamous case of Google's AI recommending Elmer's glue on pizza was literally a human-written suggestion first: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pizza/comments/1a19s0/my_cheese_sli...
There's something a little interesting in the measure zero observation; we've run into it in a couple places too. For instance: we now do voice calls ahead of our last hiring exercise (it's a little bit counterintuitive and needs some prep) because no matter how carefully we wrote about it, even with highly motivated candidates (many of whom we statistically end up hiring!) nothing we write seems to sink in. We have an API quirk that works the same way, too.

There should be a name for the effect.
I'm assuming you and the son of the other commenter are US citizens? Quite frankly the way the US operated on most things absolutely baffles me. In the UK were the same thing to happen to you the police would be paying the bill, but obviously we have the NHS so it actually pays. The NHS might be broken but I am thankful every time I hear an American health story!
Mixture of all three, but for the purposes of “accountability”, prevention of the behavior in the first place. But I don’t want to debate prisons when that’s derailing the larger point of “accountability in AI/computers”.
I disagree. The main point of this line is not about what to do _after_ a mistake (assign blame, punish, etc), but rather about setting up the correct incentives _before_ anything happens so that a mistake is less likely.

When you're accountable you suddenly have skin in the game, so you'll be more careful about whatever you're doing.
I'm confused, is there supposed to be some kind of game on the site that isn't loading for me?

There are references to things like "dungeons" and "encounters" and so on, but all that I see are a bunch of pages with lists of words/phrases in boxes.

> Obviously not, or they wouldn’t have lost.

That doesn't follow. It would be true if everyone voted on a correct and comprehensive understanding of the issues and where candidates actually stood on issues, but a massive proportion of the population just votes on vibes and is completely ignorant of actual policies or issues. Trump is objectively more responsible for the overturning of Roe v Wade than any other person, but ask a swing voter and it's pretty likely they won't know how Trump has anything to do with Roe v Wade and think he's pretty tolerant of abortion.

People don't vote on actual policy. They vote on vibes and other heuristics.
You can only hold computers accountable if you can guarantee no outside modification. We still haven't ever successfully had a system that's not "pop-able" that I am aware of.
> doctors were considered acting as non medical pseudo police for the purposes of challenging the care

What does that mean? They are either providing the services on behalf of the police, so their pseudo employer needs to pay them, or they are medical professionals providing a care you did not consent to or requested, in which case they should charge the party that requested the services, again, the police.

In both cases, you were not the contractual beneficiary of the services, so you own nothing. The fact that your blood and orifices are involved is purely incidental, any evidence resulting from this unnecessary medical act can only be used against you, so you would have no reason to want it.
They're not 20% less, they're a third of the price of a new one.
The vast majority of Americans care about improving the lives of Americans. Trump and Musk are likely no exception.

They might care about other things more than that though...
So why does every website persist in annoying their users? Are they all (or 99%) simply stupid? I have a hard time believing that.
