I was about to criticize your comment for unnecessary mean-spiritedness, but then I remembered that I don't have the moral high ground.

I once stayed with wealthy tech CEO whose had a very expensive MacIntosh-based stereo, plus some rather expensive looking speakers. His musical library? Grateful Dead, Chicago, Neil Young.

The guy gets the enjoy what he enjoys. More power to him. I just can't imagine spending so much for, musically, so very, very little.
AI generated code is incompatible with the GPL?
Given a company or individual cannot hold copyright of the source code output of an llm. And given the GPL requires that the author hold the copyright to the source code [1].

If AI generated code finds it's way into the linux kernel or any linux distribution does that invalidate the GPL license?

1) Many other countries don't have the ass backwards healthcare system that we have
2) Then there are the poorer countries. It turns out that things like providing them cheap food & medicine manages to a) provide a source of soft power & influence in the world, and b) helps us by helping them by limiting the spread of various diseases and maladies

But that's what countries do. They try to support people/sides that are better for them.

I'm not saying this is a nice thing, it's just how the world works. Russia was doing the same in Ukraine by supporting some people/parties and even poisoning politicians. Look at what happens in Belarus, their financial support to far right parties in Europe, etc. Heck, they invaded Ukraine ffs. By your standards, almost no country is sovereign.

NATO states engaging in a war with Russia? As you said, Russia is a nuclear power, no one is going to start a war with them... Do you know what even a single EMP can do to a country? Also, NATO isn't talking about fluid borders, making weekly threats about invading smaller neighboring countries or invading anyone... no one really knew what NATO was for anymore... until Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and escalated in 2022.

This started when the president at the time - a Putin friend - decided to cancel a trade agreement with the EU and sign one with Russia instead. I don't know how do you go from protests to the police killing people, but the rest is history. That's when Russia invaded and it went well for them, but it didn't go so well in 2022.

Putin warning for years doesn't remove any responsibility from him or Russia. It also doesn't grant him any power over a country. Russia is responsible for their own actions and while I don't see a problem with pointing out the meddling of other powers, I do think it's wrong to blame everyone but the country that actually started the war.
True. Income inequality increased.

The person I responded to suggested that only the rich saw income growth, and that they were achieving this by taking from the poor, which is wrong.

My fellow Americans need to stop inventing wish-fulfillment fantasies that everything's going to be ok and fine. It's a coup by the worst elements of American society (eugenicists! Christian nationalists! white supremacists!) in collusion with oligarchs, dictators, and autocrats. People are acting like the most disingenuous and dishonest people are scions of truth.

HAving had a similar experience, I have found it somewhat useful.

I've often found that my brain hasn't been working or working properly, and it's good to know that a) that happens, b) it can be transitory and c) even when it feels like it's working, I might still be fooled.

As I grow older, it's been a lot more difficult speak in absolutes.

At the same time, the contrast to observing when my brain actually -does- do something useful has also been useful and I have felt a lot better about leaning into that feeling.

This culture is insane and will gaslight the hell out of you, as will many of its constitutive members, so having some data on what it feels like to vividly hallucinate versus to have a different view on something has been very validating.

I am sure that sounds dumb, and that there are plenty of folks (especially on this social media forum) who would say that I am probably worse off for feeling like I have a better handle on "correct" and "incorrect", but hey, "enjoy the water, boys".
I believe the biggest dent AI has made is in the SEO and consulting industries.
> causality and entropy are not man made

Given that we fundamentally depend on our own, very human, sensory and cognitive apparatus to make any kind of judgement I have a hard time imagining a proof or even a convincing argument of this without falling back on “it’s obvious” (etc).

Yes, I am being obtuse. Sorry about that. Just for the record.

I should've been more clear. The Reals are very unsettling because there are supposed to be so many of them, but nobody has used, named, or described more than a few which aren't computable.

I don't find that comic compelling. It feels like a post-hoc rationalization more than the actual dynamic.

I'm a libertarian. I've tried for many years to engage with so-called conservatives on their own terms. I always get othered from not just repeating their thought-terminating party lines.

One of the most glaring instances was about surveillance. I completed agreed with where they were coming from. But trying to connect the abstract topic to the digital freedom tools I was working on/with somehow made it into an argument!

The issue usually lies in there not being enough security rules in place, not in keeping insecure rules active. For instance, for the Arc incident which we were given more information on, it was due to not having a security rule in place to prevent unauthorized users from updating the user_id on Arc Boosts in the Firestore.

Go into any other industry and hear when they say, "shoot yourself in the foot", and you've likely stumbled upon a situation where they blame their tools for making it too easy to do the wrong thing.
As a Canadian to a Svenskar. Your last sentence makes me wonder what we're really angry at the Americans for. Most folks in my country have pissed on Americans for as long as I can remember for thinking they are the world police and "keeping world order". Well uhm, turns out they were and now we're annoyed they don't want to do it anymore? It's interesting, feels like to a degree some folks are pissed off about America stopping the very thing they wanted them to stop? Interesting times.
If you could prove the bit about causality you'll get a Nobel prize or two.

I hate to break it to you, but you are in a western country, too. The same anti-democratic forces at work here are working on your citizens too using the same tools, private intelligence, compromising of elites, and social media manipulation that worked on people not so culturally dissimilar from yourselves. You can blame us, but our fates are tied. Your anti-encryption laws are a prelude to despotism. Your PMs don't exactly represent the model of western leadership. I think you guys have dealt with unstable governance in the last decade, no?

There is an up vs down fight happening across the west, it isn't EU vs US. It's not left vs right. It's those who make money chiefly proportional to time vs who make money proportional to what they own. It's those who have the power to be above the law vs those who want justice.

What are people in UK doing to combat their own aristocracy/oligarchy? When you look at us, you're looking at a potential future. Is there anyone worth mentioning in the UK exercising their backbone? Serious question, because there's only one American in all the west (not currently at war) that I've seen use theirs and while I agree, I'd prefer a more palatable model of dissent.
> There is no shortage of land, there is a shortage of efficient transportation. All this talk of building up and creative ideas around housing is great but the ultimate problem is transportation. To solve the problem of housing in LA, a person should be able to live in Reno,Nevada and work somewhere in Santa Monica, CA.

Trying to present this in such absolute terms makes it wrong. There’s no feasible way that a 600 mile one-way commute is going to be desirable short of magic teleportation booths. Even if you have a personal jet and priority air traffic control that commute sucks and people want to be enjoy the areas where they live, not spend all of their time traveling somewhere else.

Transportation really is a big problem, but it works the other way around: we need transit and enough density so people don’t need to use cars on a daily basis, freeing up close to half of the land usage in American cities and making housing cheaper. What would help would be if there was a way to live in Burbank or Chatsworth and not need to spend an hour driving to go to Santa Monica, or paying many thousands of dollars per year for the privilege of doing so.
I wonder what the Swedish government thinks of the DCA agreement now. I would definitely reconsider.

> The US and other rich Western companies dump their healthcare and housing costs onto the locals [...] And the reduced taxes that the nomads etc pay doesn't help it. (that is, the ones who actually pay).

Most nomads are going to be getting private health insurance. It's true that a lot of them are not paying their taxes, but if you're talking about Latin America that's true for a large portion of the domestic population as well. I looked into relocating to a country in South America a few years ago and had a lawyer tell me to not even worry about filling out the relevant visas because he had clients from China who had been living there for decades with no papers (I opted not to retain his services). The key here is that even if they aren't paying taxes, they are bringing money into the economy and are generally not competing with local laborers. This attitude has started to shift in places like Mexico City because a lot of the expats are not digital nomads but instead run-of-the-mill immigrants competing with the working population for jobs.

Your home might have a single provider you've previously contracted with for fixing your fridge, air conditioner,... We had such a service.
I actually agree with that, even though it's not certain wherever the "revolt of have nots" could be held off forever or it's inevitable.

However my point is that there's a huge difference between demanding a wealth tax and the "inheriting is the root cause of all corruption" approach. Former is a measure to preserve status quo, latter is a dangerous utopia.

The US taxes non-resident citizens.
I think auth in the way that b2b services require it is, at the bare minimum, awkward, and made more difficult when you step out of a language ecosystem where that problem has been solved extensively.

As you say though it’s not technically hard, it’s just a massive fucking faff. OIDC, identity providers, oAuth2, SSO… and I would argue that solutions like Cognito complicate that setup far more than they should.

Plus, it’s an easy B2B money maker when so many businesses lock their SSO functionality behind a top-tier enterprise plan. So that’s the real reason for making auth harder than it is. If it was about security it would be a basic feature.
Question about Sweden: the US influenced your decision to abandon nuclear proliferation about two generations ago. A major factor in wider strategic weapons today is whether Elon Musk would fund you or your adversaries’ satellite, targeting, etc. Is that what a “new Yalta” looks like?
I think I partly agree with you.

Because of Hyrum's Law people will end up depending on everything but in practice if you stabilize everything as C++ attempts to that's a disaster too, just a different and more insidious one. The amount of lost performance is small (Titus Winters estimated perhaps 1% in 2019) but it grows slowly and forever. However the missed opportunities to fix bugs are an incalculable loss. The reason something as basic as sorting isn't very good is sorting code which was passable in 1998 is grandfathered in as a must-not-change Hyrum's law stable ABI. The state of the art changed, the provided baseline stayed where it was.

You need to properly set expectations, and part of that is design by avoiding mirages of stability. If X isn't promised, don't leave it to chance whether your users think they're promised X, make it as obvious as possible that you can't have X. Don't just accept that "Life, uh, finds a way". We're active agents, we can do better.

When Clang's libc++ tried to fix sorting they had to roll it back due to breaking real software. When Rust changed their sort implementations most people didn't even notice, maybe a few said "Ooh, my program is faster, I guess the new compiler optimised it better?". That's about correctly setting expectations.
It's not an apples to apples comparison, really. Tape is desirable for its nonlinear (read: saturation) characteristics, and those can't really be measured in a very comparable manner by taking a regular digital domain bit depth analysis and dropping it in the tape world using the background hiss and 0dB as a clamp. It's an OK talking point, but it's easily oversimplified.

Hiss is variable, too. When calculating the low end of the range from the background hiss, do we consider a -80dB hiss above ~2000Hz affecting the "bit depth" more than -80dB hiss below it? The hiss is nowhere near white noise either, so some frequency ranges are more affected than others.
A lot of people are well aware of how much they are deluding themselves (into thinking they are happy and deserve to be so) that they should avoid psychedelics at all costs. It's like their ego knows it's in danger.
You are correct finding numbers can be a bit hard. Here is what I have found.

Since President Biden took office in January 2021, the U.S. has experienced a significant increase in illegal border crossings. Reports indicate that there have been approximately 8 million "encounters" at the U.S.-Mexico border during his tenure, a substantial rise compared to previous administrations.
This surge is notably higher than the figures recorded during the Trump administration, which saw approximately 2.4 million encounters over four years.

For graft I was referring to the continual mismanagement of funds by Federal Departments.
- An estimated $236 billion in improper payments were made, encompassing over-payments, underpayments, and payments lacking proper documentation.
- The DOD hasn't passed an audit in in 7 years! We can not account for our spending or our military assets.
- The whole US Aid thing is also part of that graft. US dollars going to questionable endeavors to enrich a few.

There are many more examples from FEMA and other organizations. The examples illustrate a systemic issue with the federal governments financial management.

> “let’s construct source that can be used interchangeably with the original”.

You lose a lot more than whitespace, you lose semantics, metadata, and lots of other information that makes it so

Obviously byte coded languages are a bit easier, and you may get lucky and experts help a lot, and perhaps LLMS can help a little.

Both Rice's theorem and the system identification problem from the cybernetics days relate to why it is so hard.

> Given a system in the form of a black box (BB) allowing finite input-output interactions, deduce a complete specification of the system’s machine table (i.e., algorithm or internal dynamics).

AND

> Given a complete specification of a machine table (i.e., algorithm or internal dynamics), recognize any BB having that description.

Decompilation doesn't give you the equivalent of the original source code, it gives you new source code that appears to be functionally similar to it, and many people who has been forced to use decompilation to recover from lost source code or consultant time-bombs have run into the problems that admittently seem pretty counter intuitive.

Remember that Rice-Shapiro and Kreisel-Lacombe-Shoenfield-Tseitin extend Rice to partial and total functions in finite time.

Telling if a program is equivalent to a fixed other program, even for total functions is still undecidable as they are 'non-trivial' properties.

Most of the time you can make it work, but it isn't a case of:
