I believe you are correct, but at the same time, are we not already giving a lot of money to grifters?

For most research funding, I think the incentives are misaligned for the type of grifters we're trying to prevent, i.e. people just pocketing the money. The money is too low and the barriers are too high. The grifting that does happen is more about metric hacking and is about the status one achieves in academia. Yeah, there's high profile people that make good money on this, but at the same time many in the respective fields are not shocked to find that their papers were faked. There were usually existing accusations. But the structures in place are not well aligned to oust or investigate them. The publish or perish paradigm gives little time for replication experiments and you should come with strong evidence before making accusations. We're also getting better at this, but more awareness and more discovery has not led to these people losing their positions our status. (We even see universities protect them at times) Take this recent plagiarism case[0]. Most authors have quite good citation records and metrics, but how does a work that's so egregious not cause other works to be investigated, it warrants suspicion. We have network graphs of researchers, with their collaborators, but why do we not build these graphs for abusers? Most of the time the abuse is purged behind closed doors and so it even makes it harder to build the networks.

CS is especially egregious for this. I lost a lot of respect for a bunch of my ML researcher peers when they promoted Rabbit. The demo was so egregiously faked and none of the claims made sense given the state of research. But we throw tons of money at these types of problems. We thrive on hype bubbles and don't purge the conmen. Hell, we often reward bad behavior. Like how that intern that got fired from Bytedance for manipulating code won Best Paper and NeurIPS[1]. The HumanEval paper is ridiculously naive (to think you can write "leetcode style problems" and that because you wrote them "by hand" that they won't be spoiled by training on GitHub. You can find identical code to most of the canonical solutions trivially!). There's tons of memes in ML around plagiarism and as best as I can tell all these authors are still doing just fine. How an egregious case doesn't result in a 1 year probation for a conference is beyond me. We suspend students for this academic misconduct but bury it for professors and grad students?

The incentives are all wrong and we need to take a serious look at ourselves. Because we are in fact protecting the grifters. It is just lucky that most people are uninterested in grifting in this domain, though as said, there isn't much incentive to (obviously changing with the prominence in ML).

Fascist othering in the digital age.
“fine” and “you can enact any law you want on people because you are not accountable to them” also isn’t really the same.

(Not that trump’s accountability is particularly high… but there’s some hope he’ll be gone in 4 years, whereas the situation is different in china)

> By the way, if you think crypto UX is hard, try trading options with thinkorswim.

You've misunderstood me. I have no interest in shitty UX. A competition for the shittiest UX is like the lowest high jump. You want a shitty UX? I can get you one by 4:30, with nail polish. The fact that extremely confusing UX is easy to find in no way mitigates a merely very confusing UX.

I kind of agree with you though. Cryptocurrency is kind of a neat idea. Shame about the actual manifestation though. I'm not opposed on principle. If anyone ever figures out how to make it good, I'll check it out. But in the first 15 years, nothing reasonable has emerged. I don't have much hope for the next 15 years either.

Maybe someone will figure it out, but I don't think that's actually going to happen. So I don't think investments in cryptocurrency research or whatever is a good idea.
'Things Are Going to Get Intense:' A Musk Ally Plans to Push AI on the US Gov
The links at the top of your page take you right to it, for example https://archive.org/details/software

Just search for literally any piece of software or media you want, and you will find multiple copies of it uploaded by random people without permission. Petabytes upon petabytes of games, movies, TV shows, software, etc. constantly uploaded 24/7 for years, is all right there out in the open for anyone in the world to download. Want a zip file with every Nintendo game ever made? There's a dozen different scene groups all with their full dumps available right there. Have a favorite TV show? They have every episode of it.

Jason Scott himself has publicly advocated for people to "upload whatever you want and ask questions later" because it's "too difficult" to figure out copyright and their stance is always to just wait until a rightsholder complains before taking anything down.
My approach for AI generated code with more complexity was always this:

1. Ask AI to generate a spec of what we're planning to do.
2. Refine it until it's kind of resembling what I want to do
3. Ask AI to implement some aspects from the spec
Umm, gonna hard disagree. At least before the consolidation of media (whether publishers or record labels), the people who ran publishing houses and record labels did it because they loved books or music as appropriate. Publishing was never a big money maker and book and record stores fall into a weird part of capitalism where they don’t make a lot of money and they have a much larger number of distinct products than most other businesses do. I would guess that the local Target has fewer SKUs on the shelves than a modest-sized bookstore.

Note that Barnes & Noble has been successful since its last change of ownership because the CEO cares about books, not because he’s trying to squeeze every penny possible out of it.
When you first use VR for flight sims it is WILD. When you roll the plane you actually feel it in your vestibular system. Eventually you learn that it's not real and you don't get that vertigo feeling anymore but until then it's exhausting.

You only need Facebook for Oculus products. The rest mostly use SteamVR. I originally used an HP Reverb G2 but it was discontinued and now I'm looking into a PiMax Crystal. I hear the Valve Index is also pretty good. But VR is just so dang expensive.
I would say "link blogging" is how weblogs started: Relatively short logs of your accomplishments or mysteries you had solved that day or just musings about one's recent discoveries on the web published on the web. It was an answer to more static "personal websites" where any new article had to justify its existence by meeting a certain threshold of novelty and newsworthiness. Weblogs got shorter and shorter, Tumblr started, then some went on to this new thing called Twitter.

> The west—aka white people

This is the problem. Western culture isn't just white. Hell, the term 'white' is really a New World race. In the Old World, Europeans were enslaving each other and being enslaved by e.g. the Mamluks and Ottomans.
Yeah totally. And it did take a stupid amount of effort to make it produce stuff that didn't sound like crap, actually had some substance to it, etc. But most people won't bother, for sure.
> What do you call this position?

Being reasonable. The master/slave thing is silly.
Have you seen the quality of said products? The demand for engineers that actually know what they're doing will grow. If you actually know what you're doing and used to write code by hand (LOL!), AI just let's you fly.
>The power dynamics you're talking about are always in the context of North America, specifically the USA

Well that’s where the people are that are having these discussions for the most part. People from other parts of the world would be wise to have their own discussions and ignore the American cultural context of our discussions.
I still hope for a next election in the US. I don’t in china. That alone makes china significantly less stable /reliable on the long run (while on the short term it might be the opposite actually)

its funny, it seems the point of this kind of response is to imply that my analysis is naive or overly simplistic but there are hundreds of thousands of pages of math and science and philosophy on the topic. im not just making this up, im simply explaining why its happening. these smug responses never seem to actually engage with anything except simplistic propaganda substituted in for the actual argument being made.

It’s a reasonable question, and one I had myself. Of course the UX is different, but that is self evident and we don’t need to be pedantic. What’s not obvious is whether this is wrapping the existing RandomPage API, filtering it, doing some sort of prediction/recommendation, etc.

The legislative branch makes the laws. The Judicial branch judges whether laws were broken. The executive branch has the power to enforce laws (or to not enforce them, as they see fit).

The current executive branch will not enforce laws against itself, and nobody else is legally allowed to enforce the laws, so all the courts & congress can do is write strongly worded letters.

Second video: Shadows reveal inconsistent lighting direction. Disappearing and appearing studs on the watch strap. It also has bizarre clothing design with buttons on a non-opening shirt and what seems to be a printed fake weaving pattern that doesn't actually correspond to real weaving, but this could theoretically be made in reality.
Reacting to a [flagged]: This is on-topic for HN, since it involves someone discussing how they plan to re-architect huge software systems and design new features... Even if they are terrible choices that could also break some laws.

One of the examples in the article may sound familiar to those of us at larger-companies. Imagine an authentication service, with nice clear boundaries between it and the other systems and subsidiary-companies users are traveling to. Those other systems each possess their own different teams and problem-domains, including business-logic around permissions and privacy. Some of those differences may be hard-requirements. (In the case of government, from actual laws that enable the organization.)

However Some Executive wants the authentication system to be twisted into a master person-info database, aggregating sensitive private information from all of the other ones, in the name of "preventing fraud." Exactly what kind of fraud it would prevent or why the cross-domain expertise should be coded in there is not examined.

So that's the login.gov thing. Even this excerpt of the meeting is feels depressingly familiar to me, a situation where some new manager is desperately trying to leave their stamp on things with a New Initiative that will justify further promotions:

> “I think we were on the topic of login aggregating data. It's an illegal task,” the employee question, which was read aloud by a woman facilitating the meeting, said. “The Privacy Act forbids agencies sharing personal information without consent.”

> “The idea would be that folks would give consent to help with the login flow,” Shedd said. “But again, that's an example of something that we have a vision, that needs worked on, and needs clarified. And if we hit a roadblock, then we hit a roadblock. But we still should push forward and see what we can do.”
Dang, I forgot about the other kind of worry.

> it is instead textbook xenophobia, so your comment is mostly just an annoying pedantic correction

We're in the midst of a backlash to reducing the word racism to a banal definition. Let's learn from it.

Karp's statement is xenophobic, jingoistic and bigoted. It's worded to not offend racists, because we have a lot of them in government right now. But it's not racist per se, and will be found agreeable by many non-racists in a non-racist way.

Based on Musk's tweets we had a fully-functioning FSD years ago and CyberTruck sales have been a runaway success...
I am well aware of the reasons why it didn't get through. The median voter doesn't. Saying you will do the same means you will do the same, ie, it will be blocked somehow.

By the way, it's not true that it was entirely stopped by Republicans - for every vote there were Democrats that went over the line, and the Democratic leadership failed to whip or primary them, which the voters rightly or wrongly will assigned the blame for the Democratic party.

Additionally, the fact that Trump appointed judges that were able to block them is in no small part thanks to the Democratic party being too ineffectual to do the same in the Obama and Biden administration.

Unless the Democrats make a point of recognizing what they could have done to play the game better and get their campaign promises through, the average voter will, rightly or wrongly, simply interpret this as the Democrats not being willing or able to follow through, and penalize them in consequence. When the Democrats willingly slow down and let internecine fights prevent themselves from helping people while the Republicans just ram their agenda through, voters will inevitably interpret this as the Democratic party making the conscious decision to break their promises, which is not entirely correct but not entirely false either.

To avoid this, Democrats would have had to be candid and say that they would likely not pass their electoral promises even if they had a majority (see: Obamacare), or somehow fix their party and get their shit together.

Let's assume that every rule has an exception. Then this rule must have an exception as well, so there is a rule with no exception. That is a contradiction.

So most definitely, there are some rules with no exception. The ones you are sure about should be among them.

Innate in this context may just well refer to the fact that he strongly believes that values rated pretty high in the west like democracy are inherently good and they should be promoted to the rest of the world.
