> Every claim to property over any parcel of land is fundamentally a coercive taking in that it tries to forbid everyone else,

Something can't be "taken" if it's not owned.

Property rights systems exist because people use property to achieve their life's values, and having billions of people argue over how to use land is not enactable (I hope that's obvious).

People's lives are not served by telling billions of people who want to use a plot of land to "fight it out", and thus governments have reasonably enacted systems that gives gives people both physical and intellectual property based off their. efforts.

This isn't to be said that property systems can't be improved, our intellectual rights property system obvious has many ways it could be improved (and it changes as we discover new knowledge). The end goal of these political policies though is to create social systems that allow individuals to maximally pursue their life.

Property systems goals are NOT to give everyone a certain quality of life.

Take a look at even the most communist/anarchist society you can imagine (the kind with people who hate those who own property), and you will see systems of an authority being grasped for that help coordinate use of material means in order to avoid violence. Reality cannot be escaped.

For cloud providers it makes sense to be model agnostic.

While we still live in a datacenter driven world, models will become more efficient and move down the value chain to consumer devices.

For Enterprise, these companies will need to regulate model risk and having models fine-tuned on proprietary data at scale will be an important competitive differentiator.

> You can say LLMs are fundamentally dumb because of their inherent linearity. Are they? Isn’t language by itself linear (more precisely, the presentation of it)?

Any linearity (or at least partial ordering) of intelligence comes from time and causality, not language - in fact the linearity of language is a limitation human cognition struggles to fight against.

I think this is where "chimpanzees are intelligent" comes to the rescue - AI has a nasty habit of focusing too much on humans. It is vacuous to think that chimpanzee intelligence can be reduced to a linear sequence of oohs-and-aahs, although I suspect a transformer trained on thousands of hours of chimp vocalizations could keep a real chimp busy for a long time. Ape cognition is much deeper and more mysterious: imperfect "axioms" and "algorithms" about space, time, numbers, object-ness, identifying other intelligences, etc, seem to be somehow built-in, and all apes seem to share deep cognitive tools like self-reflection, estimating the cognitive complexity of a task, robust quantitative reasoning, and so on. Nor does it really make sense to hand-wave about "evolutionary training data" - there are stark micro- and macro-architectural differences between primate brains and squirrel brains. Not to mention that all species have the exact same amount of data - if it was just about millions of years, why are bees and octopi uniquely intelligent among invertebrates? Why aren't there any chimpanzee-level squirrels? Rather than twisting into knots about "high quality evolutionary data," it makes a lot more sense to point towards evolution pressuring the development of different brain architectures with stronger cognitive abilities. (Especially considering how rapidly modern human intelligence seems to evolved - much more easily explained by sudden favorable mutations vs stumbling into an East African data treasure trove.)

Human intelligence uses these "algorithms" + the more modern tool of language to reason about the world. I believe any AI system which starts with language and sensory input[1], then hopes to get causality/etc via Big Data is doomed to failure: it might be an exceptionally useful text generator/processor but there will be infinite families of text-based problems that toddlers can solve but the AI cannot.

[1] I also think sight-without-touch is doomed to failure, especially with video generation, but that's a different discussion. And AIs can somewhat cheat "touch" if they train extensively on a good video game engine (I see RDR2 is used a lot).

I think this is the arguable part. The more AI compute becomes valuable, the more reason there is to divest from their software moat. Their hardware is good, but not unassailable. I think their modest (by tech hype standards) P/E is recognition of this.

To be more concrete, space rockets nearly all fly with inertial navigation, but they are extreme case, because most use only inertial navigation just few minutes (so all those classic gyros/accelerometers integrated errors are small enough to successful enter stable orbit, and then using some sort of radio or optical fine measurements and making corrections with fine engines).

Planes flights are much more lengthy than rockets - I think, typical ~40 minutes or more (most long I hear 20 hours), so INS could integrate huge mistake.

Really funny spin from their PR department too:

I'm gonna take a stab and say there hasn't been an immediate, sharp increase in public desire to completely destroy relations with Europe. Certainly, the Ukraine war is very polarizing, especially in the U.S., but I don't know how far I would read into it to determine overall European sentiments.

I'm specifically thinking outside the confines of Trump, who is a wildcard, and pointing more toward public sentiment.

They don’t even have nuclear power anymore - they shuttered the last of their nuclear power plants. The entire supply chain will need to be developed and tested without running afoul of the test ban treaty.

Besides, nuclear weapons are almost worthless without submarines to carry them. They’d only be useful against an unsophisticated adversary.
> Now that we have NAND storage, would we create filesystems differently? Are there ways to make a step-change in overall performance somewhere?

you might enjoy Allan Jude's "Scaling ZFS for NVMe" talk [0] from 2022. the tl;dw is that modern NVMe drives have gotten so fast that filesystem developers are having to revisit assumptions that have been true for decades about which operations will be slow vs. fast.

flash storage that exposed a SATA interface and pretended to be a superbly fast hard drive was an evolutionary improvement of sorts. NVMe is more of a revolutionary improvement, it does away with the spinning-rust assumptions. for example, SATA limits a device to one command queue with 32 commands; NVMe makes it almost unlimited (64k queues with up to 64k commands) [1]

there is also a corner of the NVMe spec [2] that allows you to treat an SSD directly as key-value storage instead of block storage with a filesystem implementing a key-value layer on top of it. this is promising but AFAIK no mainstream filesystem is using it yet, and I'm not sure if support has even trickled down into consumer drives or if it's market-segmented off for datacenter use only.

You want a mandated block of government code in every browser?
It's not functionality. It's access to content.

The real target is replacing search with AI, as well as locking up all content creators into exclusive deals so that other LLMs don't get access to the new data.

Just like how streaming has locked video content under different vendors, LLMs will split information across multiple vendors and we will need to get subscriptions to different companies in order to search things in the future. And it's going to cost a lot of money for us peons to get access to data in the future.

Which gives me great amusement about the current human spaceflight plan to land upright Starship on the moon, and lower astronauts from the top of what is effectively a tower-like 13-story building (52.1m without landing legs, at 9m tube width) using some kind of elevator solution. To put things into perspective, this is roughly the same height as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and with landing legs extended probably about the same width as well.

https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/nasa-astronauts-test-spac...

Sure, there's lots of details to consider, e.g. center of gravity, overall weight, maximum possible duration to hover and ability to accurately steer and pick your landing spot. But the inherent difficulty in "how do you not topple over" is definitely there, and it's clear the proposed Starship lander will have to outperform these IM landers significantly.

That said, if you want to scale out payload to the surface I guess you have to (which however eats into your center of gravity advantages from having lots of engines at the bottom, too).

The Insider program was initially created to combat leaks by just making every build public. At first they really listened to feedback when Gabriel Aul led the program - after he left, it became a joke (they tried hard to make "ninja cat" a thing) and the "unloved child". Microsoft doesn't know what to do with it, testers can't test anything and provide feedback since 1) MS ignores it 2) it has a literal roulette built in where features get (de-)activated upon reboot. They reopened the beta program for Windows 10 a year ago (to backport some Windows 11 features like Copilot?) and closed it after a few months.

Your example proves my point. If there are no judges, the government has to let you go free. They don’t force anyone to become a judge.

Agree. Not sure how, “I’m super interested to learn more,” indicates hostility.

Note, I have access but this is not my field. I just asked ChatGPT your question after have it read the paper. This is what the response was:

Yes, the paper provides the 12-mer amino acid sequence of BRP: THRILRRLFNLC .

Regarding post-translational modifications, the BRP peptide was synthesized with a C-terminal amidation, which was critical for its bioactivity. The non-amidated version of BRP was inactive in vitro . Additionally, the paper mentions that the C-terminal cysteine (C12) was synthesized as a free thiol .

So, BRP is not just a simple peptide—it has a key post-translational modification (C-terminal amidation) that influences its function.

> giving birth to another person is morally good or, at worst, morally neutral

The libertarian argument is that you made a person without their consent, and now they have the burden of deciding whether they want to continue to live, and this is unjust.

> However, we may come to an impasse, as I don't find "taken to its logical conclusion" arguments, or the paradoxes they can impose, to be particularly persuasive.

My own arguments may be taken to their logical conclusion without encountering a reduction to absurdity.

> Even if we accept it as true...

We don't have to accept this as a postulate. We can observe empirically that specialization and trade with others benefits the participants. Then not everyone has to be a doctor, a shelter builder, a farmer, etc. (none of which they can even do competently without a teacher).

> Society is unjust and unfair, which is bad

This step is doing a lot of work. If you believe it is unjust that you were brought into this world without consent, sure, but that idea of justice is absurd. The idea of justice divorced from the idea of benefit ultimately leads to the absurdum. Fairness is not an end goal in itself but one of many means to achieve mutual benefit, which satisfies the primary goal of personal benefit.
We've already investigated this for science and showed there is no connection. Instead we're just wasting taxpayer dollars (MY dollars) on shitty research for the sake of some insane non-elected bureaucrats suffering from severe brain rot.
