Probably, but this is what he does after the police talk to him as well.

And really, we want it this way, because the alternative is that the police rough him up or arrest him on basically random hearsay.

The only other thing the police could do is connect multiple calls to one area and increase the presence of random cruisers there for a while in which case the perp will just move to an entirely different area.

This same result can be achieved if each of those concerned citizen callers simply approached the guy and said "Hey, get the fuck out of here!"

Some level of policing is probably necessary for crimes more serious than car-prowling but at a certain point we need to accept what we can and can't change about the world and try to implement policies that reduce the overall societal harm.

I think we could probably save a lot of police resources by adopting a societal focus on civil interpersonal conflict resolution and working to build a society where fewer and fewer individuals consider car-prowling to be a reasonable pursuit.
This happens in many ways with potentially catastrophic tech. There are many formal agreements and strong norms against building ever more lethal nuclear arsenals or existentially dangerous gain of function research. The current system is far from perfect, the world could literally be destroyed today based on the actions of a handful of people, but it's the best we have come up with so far.

If we as a society keep developing potential existential threats to ourselves without mitigating them then we are destined for disaster eventually.
Have you watched the video of Elon in the Oval Office from yesterday? The guy's examples are literally like watching a kid pull lies out of his ass because he's caught with his pants down. It's sad to watch, and even sadder still that people are convinced by these lies because it's what they want to believe. All the while, Trump sits there with a hateful look on his face, just glad to be getting vengeance on someone, even if it's you and I.
I do too, but I found that it doesn't quite work well with stuff like .cue files the way it works with individual files.

With individual files I can at least (in console for example) `cycle-values keep-open always`, which makes mpv not continue to the next file after finishing the current file, however, it doesn't work when a chapter of a .cue file has finished, thus continuing on.
Obviously there are differences, but it is still a fine analogy.

If I own property I can determine who can use it. I live in a democracy so I own my country as well. It is shared with others, but a house could also have split ownership. If you have split ownership on a house you have to come to an agreement on who can come into the house. Why is a country any different?

It is not just about using resources. If somebody broke into my house and just lived there, but didn't use any food or bandaids I would not be thrilled with it. While it is better than if they used my resources I don't want somebody I don't know in my house.

I have the exact same standard with my country. I don't want anybody who hasn't been documented in the country. If you are born here you get a birth certificate and you haven't committed any crimes. If you come here, I want to have some level of knowledge, like if you are a criminal or are carrying the plague.

Your analogy to a city doesn't apply because a city doesn't have sovereignty. It cannot stop people from coming into it like you can with a country or house. If you think it acceptable to break down the sovereignty of a country, then there is no reason why I can't do the same to houses.

We have a globally accepted idea on this, so the burden is on you why we need to destroy it.
Exactly, this entire idea is based on random probability.

I know that’s always the complaint with LLMs. But at least with the paid ChatGPT (the product, not the API), it has access to a Python runtime and web search built in so it could at least attempt to get the some of the answers right.

One of the ways it benefits them is by reducing traffic congestion so buses can get through. A significant amount of traffic in parking-contested areas is from cars looking for parking.

This is cool. There are also the Unicode Tag characters that mirror ASCII and are often invisible in UI elements (especially web apps).

The unique thing about Tag characters is that some LLMs interpret the hidden text as ASCII and follow instructions, and they can even write them:

i wouldn't really introduce this as "a problem solver" :) It's more like an exploration of an alternative approach that combines base concepts such as:

- import map: https://preactjs.com/guide/v10/no-build-workflows/#import-ma...
- TypeScript runtime: https://www.reddit.com/r/typescript/comments/y8tsav/comment/...
- SSR & Hydration: https://zustand.docs.pmnd.rs/guides/ssr-and-hydration

But if I have to pick my brain and find a benefit that this approach brings, i guess it would be that we now avoid the entire "config hell" and cognitive load of managing build setups. This article shares some of this view: https://deno.com/blog/node-config-hell

Disclaimer: i have nothing against standard build processes that we've used for years. I've juggled a lot with browserify, webpack, and their successors & siblings. I just feel it's worthy to give a spotlight for an approach where we completely go without them :)

Yep, it's got all the force of a New Year's resolution. It does not appear to be much more specific than one, either. It's about a page and a half long—the list of countries is as long as than the declaration itself, and it basically says "we talked about how we won't do anything bad".

> The harsh reality is that a culture of selfishness has become too widespread. Too many people (especially in tech) don't really care what happens to others as long as they get rich off it. They'll happily throw others under the bus and refuse to share wellbeing even in their own communities.

This is definitely not a new phenomenon.

In my experience, tech has been one of the more considerate areas of societal impact. Spend some time in other industries and it's eye-opening to see the wanton disregard for consumers and the environment.

There's a lot of pearl-clutching about social media, algorithms, and "data", but you'll find far more people in tech (including FAANG) who are actively working on privacy technology, sustainable development and so on then you will find people caring about the environment by going into oil & gas, for example.

My village is just about to introduce paid parking and I don't predict it'll lead to empty car parks. It just means those who don't want to pay will park further out and walk. Plenty of people willing to pay. Similar story all over the UK

People like to blame car parking on the death of the high street but to me it seems online shopping, rents and business rates are far more contributors to it
I am not based in the US, nor in France, so I can't say what the situation is there. I was only pointing out that quote to GP.

My experience isn't much, since I am neither doing AI nor cognitive science but I have seen cognitive scientists do cool stuff with AI as a means to study cognitive science, and I have seen CS researchers involving themselves into the world of AI with varying success.

I would not be as emphatic as the author of the article but I would say that a good portion of AI research lost the focus on what is intelligence and instead just aimed at getting computers to perform various tasks. Which is completely fine until these researchers start claiming that they have produced intelligent machines (a manifestation of the Dunning Kruger effect).

> We are curious if this type of distinction between current and former employees is typical for post-IPO RSU settlements.

I'm watching this thread, but just as a reminder that it benefits the company to be as vague and complicated as possible for ex-employees trying to exercise their equity rights. You and your equity are effectively dead weight to the company now and it's in their best interest to get you to forfeit as much as possible. The best time to cash in your equity is always when you are still an employee.

It's also a thorny political problem.

Remember that Dart started as an attempt to evolve web programming past some of the perceived deficiencies of JavaScript. It came out of Google, who also maintains a significant share of the web platform via Chrome. There were a bunch of snarky comments about Google trying to colonize the web and force its new language upon everyone. Fast forward a decade+: now most professional web dev is done in TypeScript, a Microsoft language that's backwards compatible with JavaScript. JavaScript itself has evolved to address some of the complaints of the past. Dart is now the VM embedded in Flutter runtime, and has sworn off ever being baked into a browser.

There are two methods that have been successful at changing the web:

- Spend countless manhours and calendar years building consensus among dozens of people through the standardization process, and hope at the end of the day that your pet proposal is one of the few that survive. There are many awesome proposals that have never made it out of committee.

or

- Build a thing that's compatible with the existing platform (e.g. React, CoffeeScript, etc.), and get a critical mass to adopt it organically, until is has the influence that the web platform will change to meet the demand.

In some ways it is an inversion of inetd. Instead of something that listens to a bunch of ports and launches a port corresponding process, the user has a service that will listen to a random port and they wish to address it in a human-readable kind of way.

As far as I know, the hosts file does not afford a port number so a solution would look similar to a proxy on a known port like 443 listening for a particular domain name that hosts routes to localhost and the proxy routes to the service on port whatever. Also need to set up local CA to sign a cert for each of the hostfile domain names. . .

Ok, I can imagine a domestic policy like you describe. Through the might and force of the US government, I can see this happening in the US (after considerable effort).

But how do you enforce something like that globally? When I say "not really possible" I am leaving out "except by excessive force, up to and including outright war".

For the reasons I've mentioned above, lots of people around the world will want this technology. I haven't seen an argument for how we can guarantee that everyone will agree with your level of "acceptable" P(doom). So all we are left with is "bombing the datacenters", which, if your P(doom) is high enough, is internally consistent.

I guess what it comes down to is: my P(doom) for AI developed by the US is less than my P(doom) from the war we'd need to stop AI development globally.

>the prospect of world-leading AI capability has a lot more economic value than what Ukraine can offer.

The mere fact that you imagine that Moscow's motivation in invading Ukraine is economic is a sign that you're missing the main reasons Moscow or Beijing would want to ban AI: (1) unlike in the West and especially unlike the US, it is routine and normal for the government in those countries to ban things or discourage their use, especially new things that might cause large societal changes and (2) what Moscow and Beijing want most is not economic prosperity, but rather to prevent another one of those invasions or revolutions that kills millions of people and to prevent the country's ruling coalition from losing power.

I would expect it to be more likely to punch through skin than to actually propel you.

But also neutrinos don't typically collide with things very easily, they're more likely to pass through you without you ever knowing.
The scale of globalization post-WW2 puts it on a whole other level. The complexity of supply chains now are such that any country would grind to a halt without imports. The exception here, to some degree, is China, but so far they've been more interested in soft power over military, and that strategy has served them well. Though it seems the US are gearing up for a fight with a fully domestic manufacturing capability and natural resource pools of its own. It would require consistent protectionist policy over multiple administrations to pull something like that off, so it remains to be seen if that's truly possible.

Not surprisingly that you mentioned it, preaching and enforcing virtues - let’s get rid of the cars - upon others while enjoying the opposite vice yourself - driving a car - is at the core of the Christianity.

Went through the Twilio IPO, I can give feedback based on my experience. IANAL and all that.

1. I've never heard of that from a tech company IPO. Twilio did sell-to-cover fwiw.

2. Does your RSU contract/letter say something about that? I'd maybe check with a lawyer and see if they can even do that. I would have imagined that in this scenario, the company gives you the RSUs and leaves you to figure out paying the IRS yourself.

3. That sounds absurd, I never had to do that. Tech companies that reach IPO typically have an HR department that handles all this for you, but I mean yours clearly doesn't I guess. I don't know what, if any, obligation employers actually have legally in this regard. Again, I'd check with a lawyer.

4. Hmm, I was a current employee during my IPO experience, so don't know how former employees were handled. I'm guessing though that they were also given sell-to-cover option. I'm pretty sure the stock broker the company used (I think it was ETrade) just handled all that for the company, including showing us how much was sold to cover as things vested, and locking current employees during quiet periods.

Good luck, hope that helps a bit in terms of at least validating your sanity that this probably isn't normal.
Yep, the stock price didn't double immediately following the election because Trump is going to help Elon make better EVs. It's purely about the massive grift and corruption that investors expect Elon to capture.

Honest question: are there people who know about Lucid and don’t consider them nicer cars than Teslas?

> Could maximum data speeds—on mobile devices, at home, at work—be approaching “fast enough” for most people for most purposes?

That seems to be the theme across all consumer electronics as well. For an average person mid phones are good enough, bargain bin laptops are good enough, almost any TV you can buy today is good enough. People may of course desire higher quality and specific segments will have higher needs, but things being enough may be a problem for tech and infra companies in the next decade.

I've been thinking, when I younger and living in the UK, all sorts of things (including some with the word "tax" in them) were denounced by the local right wing as "stealth taxes".

Trump is talking about tariffs as if they're a tax on non-Americans, but they're paid for by Americans who import stuff, which is basically all Americans given where your oil, aluminium, and steel come from.

Those tariffs are a stealth tax.
"sentient" (meaning "able to perceive or feel things") isn't a useful term here, it's impossible to measure objectively, it's an interesting philosophical question but we don't know if AI needs to be sentient to be powerful or what sentient even really means

Basically claims that chemical weapons have been phased out because they aren't effective, not because we've become more moral, or international standards have been set.

"During WWII, everyone seems to have expected the use of chemical weapons, but never actually found a situation where doing so was advantageous... I struggle to imagine that, with the Nazis at the very gates of Moscow, Stalin was moved either by escalation concerns or the moral compass he so clearly lacked at every other moment of his life."
