> We just attribute everything to disinformation and throw our hands up as if none of this was avoidable

Well yes. it was. This was avoidable, but not by those fooled with fear from lies. It came from the rational people who felt their vote didn't matter, or that fell for obvious distractions as if somehow Trump was better because their aligned candidate wasn't the perfect progressive.

>Both sides are too busy pointing fingers now to really want to do anything about it.

if you only focus on the radicals, it's not surprising you become radical yourself and cast aside the grand majority of moderates. That both sidesing narrative is also a trick.
Well the assembly I put into it was written by humans writing assembly intended to be well-understood by anyone reading it. On the contrary, many NES games abuse quirks specific to the NES that you can't translate to any system outside of the NES. Understanding what that assembly code is doing also requires a complete understanding of those quirks, which LLMs don't seem to have yet (My Mapper 4 implementation still has some bugs because my IRQ handling isn't perfect, and many games rely on precise IRQ timing).

It is impressive. But for the same cost you can get vastly better performance with Postgres and bigger hardware.

It does come with internal redundancy, but do you need that? Also the cluster nature of it can come with some surprises as compared to a single database.
Not to disagree with your justified Socratic questioning, but this sparked my interest and I figured I'd share my (novice!) TIL: it appears the IAU uses a coordinate system based on our solar system on January 1st 2000, 00:00 AM, or "J2000.0". Thus (0, 0, 0) is at the ~center of Sol and the x and y are within Earth's orbital plane, which means the z axis is orthogonal to that. In other words, it seems like "above"/"up" in a astronomical sense denotes the same approximate direction as "Northward"/"North", which is pretty fascinating!

Of course as an arrogant computer scientist I think they're downright kooky for not basing it on the galaxy, but ce la vie. Presumably there's one of those too, and this just wins for boring social inertia reasons as much as for any technical ones.

There’s an interesting… paradox? Observation? That up until 20-30 years ago, humans were not computerized beings. I remember a thought leader at a company I worked at said that the future was wearable computing, a computer that disappears from your knowing and just integrates with your life. And that sounds great and human and has a very thought leadery sense of being forward thinking.

But I think it’s wrong? Ever since the invention of the television, we’ve been absolutely addicted to screens. Screens and remotes, and I think there’s something sort of anti-humanly human about it. Maybe we don’t want to be human? But people I think would generally much rather tap their thumb on the remote than talk to their tv, and a visual interface you hold in the palm of your hand is not going away any time soon.

The VC idea is incorrect. AI in some areas where companies compete like sales is just adding to the arms race. It's also rising expectations making products more complex. It's being used to make presentations better which is raising expectations.

> For democracy to work properly politicians need to follow the rules.

Democracy doesn't require that, except for a narrow subset of rules relating to voting and things like that.

The system you're describing isn't even democracy--it elevates lawyers and judges above the voters. Think about it: if there was a class of people you could trust to neutrally administer and enforce "the rules" then you wouldn't need multiple branches of government, separation of powers, etc. You could just make rules for everything, and trust the neutral arbiters to enforce those rules in politically neutral ways.

> Especially in this case where they had a red flag that she didn’t want to turn over the list until the deal was done

I'm not in the game but I think if I was spending this much money I would want some statistically sound samples of the list. Not the whole list, but enough entries to give me a high level of confidence that the list was made up of real people.

e.g. hash the name and DOB of everyone on the list, then give me the list of hashes. That way I know the list is not full of duplicates. Then I will pick say 10 at random, request their details, and make sure their hash can be recreated and that they are real people.
Even as a dirty Red Sox fan, I was quite amused at Judge's response when he was asked about it (quoting from a similar article on this from The Guardian):

He's certainly not wrong!
The way this is different is because those sites were faking it to make their site seem more active to users. Here there's no draw to users it's ONLY for the valuation and purchase. JPM wanted 4 million people unable to fill out a FAFSA but willing to pay to have it done. The exact kind of person who fucks up credit cards and pays $$$ of interest for years.

The article points to companies not knowing why they are piloting AI,
not knowing what they are doing,
and not having their data ducks in a row.

Those are all perennial issues with organizations following any hype cycle,
but why is there nothing in the article asking if AI is even doing anything useful?

Isn't it also possible that these pilots aren't reaching production because organizations discover the technology doesn't live up to the hype?
It's worth mentioning that GCC's ftrapv has been unreliable and partially broken for 20+ years at this point. It's recommended that you use the fsanitize traps instead, and there's an open ticket to switch the ftrapv implementation over to using it under the hood:

There isn’t a single Trump voter who ever cared about free speech as anything other than virtue signaling or a cudgel (and there isn’t a single Republican who will go against Trump in anything). Everyone crying about it the last few years was a liar or a fraud.

"It's good when the government gives me money and bad when the government gives other people money" is the mentality of a child, and not a particularly bright one.
You're acting like computers, or neutral actors external to the political system, decide "when rules are broken" and what "punishment" to apply.

That's entirely the wrong way to think about government. Government isn't about rules, it's about allocation of power. You have to think about government in terms of who is entrusted with power to make which decisions. If you entrust judges and lawyers to decide "when rules are broken" by elected officials, you give them power over those officials, and over voters.

Now that's okay to a degree, but the question is: where does the buck stop? If you design a system where the buck stops with lawyers and judges, then you've effectively given those lawyers and judges power to overrule voters. It's better to design a system where the lawyers and judges demur in situations like this, to avoid a "tail wagging the dog" situation where the legal system is invoked to resolve a political dispute.

I'm not sure what JPMorgan could have done before closing the deal realistically. At a point society only works if people tell some version of the truth. It's very hard to protect against blatant and shameless fraud beforehand.

> While today journalism struggles to make money

It rather depends on what you mean by journalism. I suspect your definition is true to the Guardian's apparent aims, publishing well researched truths to an interested population. What was being published in the 1800s was most certainly not that; instead, being very similar to the current forms of "opinion journalism" that are exceptionally lucrative today.

> Frank’s chief software engineer, Patrick Vovor, testified that Javice had asked him to generate synthetic data to support her claim that the company had more than 4 million users. When Vovor asked if that was legal, prosecutors said, Javice and Amar assured him that it was — and told him they didn’t want to end up in orange prison jumpsuits. Vovor testified that he refused to help. “I told them I would not do anything illegal,” Vovor told jurors.

That is one hell of a defense

Yeah, those are totally "massive campaign problems". Massive. Gigantic. Career ending.

Oh wait, Trump constantly throws out insults and associated with morally repugnant people. He insults christians and veterans and still got elected. I don't think these are the real issues.

I was reading about the cinematography of _Collateral_, possibly the first large budget feature film to be shot digitally, and one of the issues back in 2004 when it was made was the amount of storage required for digital video and the risk of not being able to retrieve the images from the data stores:

> “We did massive testing with the hard drives, and everything was great, and then we had an experience where we shot, and when we sent in the material, they couldn’t get the information off the hard drive,” said Cameron. “So the studio went ballistic and was like, ‘There’s just no way we can we can let you guys do this.’”

> The compromise was the production would record to hard drives as well as SRW tape. And unlike today, verifying the digital footage was equally cumbersome and tension-filled.

> “We recorded everything two or three times on decks that we carried with us,” said Beebe. “So we were backing up, two or three times.”

One thing I started doing the last time I picked up guitar again, which was about two months ago, was wearing disposable nitrile gloves on my left hand. They're extremely thin and durable, and have minimal impact on dexterity, but allowed me to practice for over an hour a day with no residual pain the next day. It was always possible to practice through the pain on one day, but where I would slip up is skipping a day because my fingers still hurt. (And skipping a day turns into two...) I've still developed calluses, too, but I'm not quite ready to give them up. I'm much happier with my progress than I was any previous time, probably because I never skip a day of practice anymore.

It's not the most eco-friendly thing I've ever done, but I figure it's a pretty small amount of plastic in the grand scheme of things (especially in my line of work).
I can backup, wipe and reload my phone. I'll do the first two before transiting a US border.

There is a weird situation in cycling where any attempt at improvement (even in riding postures) getting banned by the UCI has become a meme and each year's announcement generates a fest of joke videos.

That would be the other end of the spectrum we're trying to avoid.
Maybe, but I think another part of it is just a dangerously broad construal of the whole concept of executive power. Executive means you execute. Someone else should decide. Executive authority just means you are authorized to do what someone else said should be done. We have gone down a weird road in the US with the creation of "quasi-legislative" agencies that are created by Congress but are then under the control of the president although their function is essentially legislative. Instead Congress should just be able to entirely specify every aspect of those bodies' operations, including what (if any) the president's role is. In other words, the president can "use" executive authority, but the legislature should be in charge of deciding what counts as executive authority in the first place. If congress wants to delegate power to arbitrary bodies with no presidential involvement, they should be able to do so by passing a law as usual.

You can of course say that a reckless executive (like the one we have now) would still run amok, but I think we'd have less of a problem if these matters had been clarified long ago.
In minor leagues you root for the players. At least when I was a kid I did. I knew them, had my favorites and they were accessible. I got lots of autographs of future stars and it was incredibly exciting to see them make it to the majors.
