I found this logical leap to be pretty straight-forward, but it is a leap (rather than a clearly-telegraphed step).

My understanding was that the author sees the following:

- Lots of AI advocates don't just think an AI superintelligence is possible, but desirable
- They reason that an AI superintelligence will guide humanity to become better, and more intelligent
- There is no known, proven, objective measure of “intelligence,” all schools so far that espouse such a thing as being possible and coherent stem from eugenics, phrenology, and similar projects (VC, AI founders, and CEOs have significant overlap with these groups)
- AIs reinforce the biases present in their training sets and tuning, meaning they will gladly spout rhetoric from those same sociopolitical projects
- People believe AI output readily and blindly

Regardless of whether or not a Superintelligence emerges (I'm betting against), the outcome of this trajectory will be that the eugenics/phrenology ideological descendants will continue to guide any new AI to espouse their beliefs (whether intentionally or due to implicit bias), and that most people will just accept the resulting outputs as True™. AI then will reinforce eugenicist views (as it already is). ∎

All the best,

Trump has explicitly said it's the last time people will have to vote. I don't know why people are glossing over this. He intends to take full control and never give it up. The time to act is now, not when he announces some emergency that is a thin excuse to cancel elections.

I find pi-hole fascinating since it shows there is a sizeable market for open Linux routers in the home, but for some reason people seem fixated with running it on a raspberry pi. That’s fine, but it seems like the worst of all worlds? I wouldn’t say the Pi is particularly reliable, and it doesn’t have a switch chip inside it, or enough beef for heavier processing.

It’s all just standard *nix software that will work on anything from my SFP module running openwrt, to a reflashed MIPS Ubiquiti router, to my x86 FreeBSD box.

There is a lot of hokum and bad statistics in the medical field. Doctors truly don't have a great idea what improves post op outcomes.

There are some bigger studies coming out that show that early weight bearing is non-inferior to traditional protocols that ask for many weeks of NWB though, and given the obvious qol benefits of walking earlier it seems to me the standard should be mobilise ASAP.

There really isn't good evidence for immobilisation. It seems to be a hold over particularly for surgical fixation, where there's no real fear of displacing things if it's been fixated properly.
In the second quote, the phrases "in their official capacity" and "as the position of the United States" are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

The EO is going out of its way to broadcast that its purpose is to establish a unitary policy position of the executive branch that stems from the President, rather than having "independent" agencies providing contrary position from within "in their official capacity" "as the position of the United States." The logical leap from there to "the President's (unrestricted) opinion is the law (without reference to Congress or the Courts)" is vast.

The EO does not bear on the balance of powers between branches of government, but on the ability for the executive branch to function as a single entity within that balance, rather than a multiplicity of quasi-"independent" agencies.

The disincentives that have always prevented the executive from blatantly violating the law are still in force and unchanged. They have been functional through 250 years of Presidents testing the limits of their authority.

I don’t think that’s an accurate description of the decision. I think that it stated that when the President exercises core constitutional power (e.g. the pardon power, or the veto power) then the exercise itself cannot be illegal. I’m not sure if the decision of the Court left open the possibility that the conduct around the exercise of such power can be illegal. If so, then this could be a distinction without much difference: for example, issuing a pardon may not itself ever be criminal, but taking a bribe to issue a pardon is separate from issuing the pardon itself. To some extent, I think that some of this does flow from the structure of the Constitution itself, but I’m not convinced that phrasing it in terms of immunity is particularly helpful.

Then there’s a rebuttable presumption of immunity for more conduct. I don’t see that this flows from the Constitution, but perhaps it flows from judicial decisions over the past two centuries? ‘When the President does something official, he probably is immune, but maybe he’s not, and he could still be prosecuted from crimes he commits around the immune act’ doesn’t seem terribly meaningful.

It sounds a bit to me like saying that a citizen is immune from prosecution for his vote, but not for selling it or whatever. But I’m not a lawyer, and I could be wrong.

I have met a few "rationalist" types, and I went to a "rationalist" meetup in San Francisco, although they called it something else and didn't care for that label, but couldn't really get other people to stop calling them that.

The overall vibe was like a tech meetup crossed with a church picnic. There were a lot of programmers and grad students there to do a little professional networking, talk about books they like, whether they should be donating to charity a little, which charities worked best, and how to avoid throwing away the leftover cookies.

The subject of AI millennialism was not broached in my presence, all though I did meet some people who were working on AI.

There's also a small Canadian company called Edison Motors that's doing some very interesting work in developing hybrid diesel-electric logging and back-country hauling trucks. They've taken a far saner approach to growth (Ie. not the typical SV hyperscalling model) and are actually building trucks that solve real world problems and I am personally a huge fan of them. They might not have the glitz or funding of your typical "Startup" but they are actually building a sustainable business that has a very good chance thriving for decades to come.

Making rules sounds awfully like legislation, which is a job for the legislature rather than the executive. Arguably, the executive can only regulate the executive, and Congress has to pass laws which apply to the populace at large.

That’s certainly not the way things have been run for a long time, but it doesn’t seem irrational to argue that’s the proper constitutional structure.
If you look at the CVE lists, about 70-80% of all c memory bugs are related to OOB Read and Write. Additionally, like rust, fbounds-safety can remove redundant checks if it can determine the bounds. My question is how likely can it be adopted in the kernel (likely high).

I will need to read their conversations more to see if it's the underlying fear, but formalization makes refactoring hard and code brittle (ie. having to start from scratch on a formal proof after substantially changing a subsystem). One of the key benefits of C/Kernel have been their malleability to new hardware and requirements.

You asked whether something is a democracy, not a modern democracy, hence why I gave the examples I did.

Also, no need for the ad hominems, there is no reason to accuse me of not understanding something or it being "embarrassing," that is not helpful to any sort of conversation.

I'm also a very happy NextDNS user. A couple other thoughts for anyone considering this:

• The free plan supports 300,000 queries/month (all features, unlimited devices, unlimited configurations) and is a great and simple way to test drive it.

• If you like the idea but want more knobs, many people are also happy with competitor Control D. I'd just caution that the two-year-old comparison¹ on their site is just wrong about several claims (including "lower latency") and is not without problems itself². I looked at them and chose NextDNS as a better "set and forget" option that also plays well with Tailscale³.

That's kinda a weird statistic, given how many people are nowhere near Manhattan. I live in New York State, but it's 7 hours away, so I don't have any opinion whatsoever on New York City's congestion charges. Nor should my opinion (if I had one) carry any weight.
He also failed to secure a majority of the votes cast, winning with a mere plurality. (Not that the raw number of votes cast actually matters all that much, given our idiotic presidential electoral system.)

So what?

Totally agreed that it's out of bounds to label all Trump voters as rednecks & white nationalists. But not sure where you're getting that: read upthread. No one said anything like that. Just "Russia-aligned state actors". Which is also pretty silly.

But in a way, it's worse than all that. If his supporters were actually all rednecks & white nationalists (or Russia-aligned state actors), at least we could say, "well, the country is actually full of shitty, uneducated, racist people, so I guess this actually is the will of the people". But right, that's not the case. Instead, Trump and the GOP have lied and manipulated to the point they've managed to dupe a much more diverse group of people into believing in Trump. Or, at the very least, into believing that the system needs to burn in order for it to be remade in a way that will serve these people's interests.

All this is a crock, of course, and there are already quite a few surprised and upset Trump voters who have experienced an interruption or loss of some government service that they depend on. So ok, let's expand it the list. Sure, there are rednecks & white nationalists. But there are also just regular ol' idiots who fell for Trump's nonsense. And actively awful people who are fine with a lot of others getting hurt, just to spite the current establishment.
