Increasing the tax on the yield of their endowments is your solution for solving that problem?

As far as cutting NSF grants, there are already legal limits in place for how that funding may be used - and it's not to support administrators and facilities. The cut to NSF is a direct cut to research, not college administrators.

And those "subsidies"? They're paying for Ph.D. students, covering their tuition and providing them a stipend. Now those students will be looking to study abroad - and once they leave, they're not likely to come back. Brilliant.

This isn't Stanford's loss, it's ours.

> So the firmware is locked down. To do otherwise will break spectrum licensing as the device then becomes capable of doing things outside the original licensed purpose.

So what. Take pretty much any older transceiver, swap out the quartz(es) and suddenly what used to be a ham radio can now communicate with police radios, or a commercial radio can be converted for ham use.

Yes, of course the former case is illegal and the latter legal as long as you don't transmit without a callsign and a ham license. But still, radio manufacturers were not required to stop people from doing such mods - to the contrary, up until the 90s it was commonplace to have detailed schematics and BOMs in radios, and it was just as commonplace for people to mod their radios.

I don't get why the FCC is putting up so much pressure on locking down devices ffs.

I've experienced this with github copilot. At the beginning of a copilot chat, there's a short paragraph. It tells you to use "slash commands" for various purposes. I ask for a list of what slash commands are available. It responds by giving me a general definition of the term "slash command". No. I want to know which slash commands you support. Then it tells me it doesn't actually support slash commands.

I definitely feel like I'm falling into the non-power-user category described here in most of my AI interactions. So often I just end up arguing them in circles and them constantly agreeing and correcting, but never addressing my original goal.

Regarding the source of the falsehood you believed to be true, there are only two potential explanations:

One, they intentionally deceived you, or two, they have no idea what they are talking about and should not be relied upon for truthful information.

That this particular false belief was so strong, and so core to your political stances, that you used it as the foundation for your argument as to why the current republican administration is acting in the best interests of the nation, I would hope that this would cause you to reconsider the rest of your stances as well as more carefully scrutinize your sources of information for veracity.

In short, please consider the possibility that your epistemology may be broken.

It's amazing how right-wing billionaire figures have captured social media platforms and news media outlets, such as Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter/X, Jeff Bezos's takeover of The Washington Post, Patrick Soon-Shiong's takeover of LA Times, and Rupert Murdoch’s continued control of Fox News/Sky News/WSJ/NYPost, Mark Zuckerberg's recent rightward shift on FB/IG, and yet the right keeps yelling about George Soros. The propaganda networks on the internet are mostly rightwing with lots of surrendering to Russian/Chinese influence.

Agreed. We do need more housing, but it can also be more quality housing. This is the part that most of the "YIMBY" folks miss out on.

We have a new, modern, but as cheap as possible building with the smallest legal unit sizes that went in around the corner from us less than 10 years ago. It's now nearly empty because every unit leaks, the appliances and cabinetry already need to be replaced, and it'll have to be half rebuilt to fix several structural problems.

The developer, fortunately, failed in getting a second building started because of community pushback. In response, the community has been attacked at the local, and recently international, level for being NIMBYs and "stopping necessary progress".

The same folks who promote more sustainable and people focused city design are fighting for these worthless buildings. Their intentions are right in the bigger picture sense, but they leave no nuance for what's actually happening on the ground.

This seems a bit naive. There are no arguments given as to why things would be better if the AI is more like a human.

Just look at how the world works: we all read and write crazy little symbols, which take children years to understand. We type on keyboards with over 100 small buttons, and train everyone to be a piano player.

And you want AI to be more like that, i.e. like humans? Sorry, but I guess I'd rather see AI evolve past our human limitations, and I'd be happy with a simple console output of the number 42.
The other answers here are great, but let’s say you’re right.

If you release a whole DB of data you’re going to have a hard time covering something you removed up in such a way that it’s not noticeable. Gaps in keys, suspiciously missing data for certain queries, etc.

Even if you do that perfectly, there are other data sources to compare to. If the city said it issued 2500 parking tickets and made $7500 in January on some financial report and the DB disagrees you have proof something is going on.

Or you could crowd source people’s parking tickets to compare to the DB to see if everything matches. What happens if one doesn’t? If one’s missing but the person had the proof they paid it?

It could still prove useful.
I wish n-gate.com was still around.
Honestly I don't see much of a problem if this is applied to imports of single items by an end user. I used to be that I had trouble importing some device partly because the power supply was not certified by the local regulatory entities. Most of what people import in single quantities are electronics with switch mode power supplies that work from 100-240v and at 50/60hz. I doubt many people are importing a hairdryer or a toaster. Personally if a power supply is approved by the FCC or some other important entity I consider it good enough for my personal use, even if it has a foreign plug.

It is a problem for importing large quantities to resell though, I'm not defending the ability to import 100s of death traps and sell them to people.
Show HN: Claude Player, a generic agent to try and play GB(C) games with Claude
I have been working on this project for a while, and have been meaning to clean it up and release it, and with the release of Claude 3.7 (especially given their semi official https://www.twitch.tv/claudeplayspokemon stream of a similar project), I thought it was a good time to do so.

I've taken some imspiration from their official implementation by adding additional memory tools and summarisation, however mine differs in that I don't have any coordinate based movement helpers: it is purely button based. Additionally, the emulator only ticks when the AI sends inputs, so it is not running at real time speed.
Another issue is trust. When it does tell you inrormation, how do you know you can trust that?

Jeff Bezos' revamp of 'Washington Post' opinions leads editor to quit
this is complaining about the state of nature dressed as political commentary. perhaps Mr Swinton could show an example of a society that would satisfy his definitions, but he cannot, because his complaint amounts to the fact that the world is flawed and no system is a utopia.

In fact his central complaint, that we are slaves, is the same exact lesson taught in the story of Genesis from the oral history that predates Judaism.

He is complaining that in life, we are cursed to work. You know, "the fall." A problem for every human since we became aware of the existence of the future.

This isn't some cutting insight into the downfall of American society, it's just a complaint that the world is unfair.

Well guess what? Get used to it. It's unfair in every system. This one is one of the more fair systems, though.
That's a lot of mythologising.

Look up all the shady stuff companies like Intel were doing in the 90s, from IP theft to outright bribing companies to avoid their competition (which was better).

Nope you're wrong. Lonestar has this all figured out. They even have a landing page and dramatic promo video, which is a clear sign of how much due diligence they put in after receiving their oversubscribed $5M seed investment.
> Over 100 countries worldwide have laws that restrict where certain data can be processed and stored, often to within that country itself. As a data center provider, it’s impossible to accommodate all potential customers in any one location, except in outer space. According to the United Nations’ 1967 outer space treaty, space and the moon are “not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty,” and as such poses a loophole for data sovereignty laws. An American satellite is under American law, but it can carry a black box inside it that’s under British law, or any other country’s. A moon-based data center can host as many separate black boxes as needed, to accommodate all of its diverse customers. Governments seem particularly interested in this prospect.

Setting feasibility aside, seems strictly like this is privacy for the entities that deserve it the least. Privacy is for the individual and their "owned" data, not for governments to craft digital black sites.
It's been the end game of fan translation forever. I used to be a manga, LN, and anime scanslator/fansubber in another life.

For popular manga the "meta" today is roughly:

1. Wait for the chapter to be released in China or Taiwan where copyright isn't as broadly enforced.

2. Upload the Chinese raws.

(Steps 1-2 usually happen in a different ecosystem than translation.)

3. Have a Chinese/English bilingual person read the manga and turn it into translated text. These folks are usually pre-teens or teenagers. If this is a popular series, they're under intense speed pressure (the group that drops first wins all the imaginary internet points, or basically all the page views and torrent peers.) The quality of these translations are usually anywhere between average to bad. The kids read barely enough to understand what's going on (given the intense time pressure) and that they're already starting from a translated source (JP -> ZH.)

4. Have your typesetter clean the manga and prepare it for English. This is generally done by also a pre-teen. If they're under time pressure they'll do the bare minimum here to get it out quickly.

5. If you have enough staff and the series is popular, an editor will then edit the text to make sure it makes sense and perhaps rewrite bits to make it reflow into the text bubbles. If you don't, they're often the same person as the TL or the typesetter/cleaner.

6. Upload onto the sites/drop the torrents.

If you can read Japanese you'll realize that a lot of these translations are speed oriented and the quality is quite bad. Sometimes quality-oriented groups will go ahead and revise an already released manga but more often than not once some scanslations are out, others will consider the series "translated" and bad fan scanslations will live on.

When I was active the steps were different; they've changed as they've responded to time pressures. It's already a huge race to the bottom. Most of the big series are getting translated by pre-teens and teens. Some more niche series are being tackled by college students. Doing AI assisted translation is just the next step in an ongoing war to speed up translations.

An interesting side effect of that is one can use the grid frequency to coordinate emergency power response - individual nodes (batteries, peaker plants, etc.) can react directly to the frequency measurement with generation or load, thus stabilizing the grid. Too much energy is equally an issue. Usually it's called fast frequency response these days.
Good idea ! Some sort of handle on mobile that's inviting you to "grab" it. good point.
Energy, even if it doesn’t convey information is still a “thing”. Photons with a black body spectrum - thermal noise, are still things.

At the end of the day I expect the quality of discourse to dip: being afraid of contradictory opinions is the first step in intellectual decline.
