For the most part none of the people deported or held have even been accused of one of those crimes.

Most of the Venezuelans have been deported under the Alien Enemies Act, under an extremely tenuous reading of what an “invasion” is, by claiming they are members of a gang which is “invading” the country. If they can read the law this way then it’s not clear we have rule of law anymore. Anyway, the only court case testing this law didn’t turn on determining whether the members were factually members of the class. In this case there are serious questions about whether the people deported were actually members of the gang. Even in WWII relevant nationality individuals went before a civilian board to determine if they were of the nationality to deport.

The people being disappeared from colleges are being held and deported under the theory that they “pose a threat” to the United States, based on the Secretary of State making that determination, which again, not really due process. They are also being whisked to a more favorable circuit for their habeus petitions, which is pretty suspect.

Arguably maybe citizens will be afforded an actual appearance before a judge, but remember that they can just claim you’re a member of a Venezuelan gang and whisk you away. And once you’re gone how do you prove otherwise?

As far as being within US borders, that’s a strange argument given that no statute requires imprisonment within the US borders… I guess it’s legally untested but it seems insane to me that detention could be allowed to be under non-US custody. Among other things, that would move those detained literally outside of US jurisdiction. I don’t think it’s been done outside of espionage situations of dubious legality with people not resident in the US. Even the Guantanamo bay prisoners were under US jurisdiction.
America doesn’t do it for political and cultural reasons. It has absolutely nothing to do with scale, economics, or America’s “inability” to do it. Americans (unfortunately imo) have consistently chosen not to do it by not electing politicians who have pledged to do it.
I mean, do Windows or macOS tell the browser which mail apps you have installed when it handles a mail:// URI?

Linux users? That is, people who use a device that runs Linux? Like Android?

Or you mean desktop Linux users, though there aren't "a lot" of those. There's the business/corpo/science deployments but I don't think we're talking about that, but rather specifically home use. So we're talking mostly enthusiasts. I'd imagine many of those and perhaps even most at least lightly game and Steam is effectively the default place to purchase games on Linux. Do you run anything in an emulator? Impure! Purge with fire!

The software repository+compile from source paradigm isn't "Linux", it's not even "desktop Linux". Linux can execute software in a myriad of different ways, what makes Linux Linux is that it's infinitely flexible.

I one time click an add because I was curious how the scam worked. First they wanted my name and phone number... when I typed the last digit of the phone number into the form my phone rang immediately. They even managed to confuse me for a moment.

Next level would be to use 10, 100 or 1000 phone lines (depending on budget) and call people when they haven't typed their entire number.

Quickly train the sales "person" llm on whatever public personal information can be found using their name ip/location, phone number, anything about their friends, relatives coworkers etc. Mimic the correct accent for the region.

Or howabout a question about the ad to check if they watched it properly. If they get it wrong it seems only fair to give them a new ad. Some question should not have a correct answer.

Or, how would you rate this advertisement? With each rating triggering an unique-seeming follow up question.

Linear regression is machine learning. At their core neural networks are just repeated linear regression + a non-linearity arranged in interesting ways. The key is that they can be trained to fit data using some optimization protocol (e.g. gradient descent). Just because linear regression has a closed form solution and is conceptually simple doesn't mean anything here.

I stand corrected! But also I thought I was being clear that we were talking about universities. I'm not familiar with the Vietnam Academy of Sciences and Technology, but it looks to be a research institute. Unless things work differently over there (they very may well), research institutes don't confer degrees. Also looking at their news page it looks like they are hosting the PhD defense for Nguyen Thi Tra, who is from Hanoi Pedagogical University[0]. Good luck Thi Tra!

Maybe there are actually universities with departments in optimization. But if so, they are exceedingly rare. Departments are generally not very specialized. But hey, some universities do weird things.

> You cannot get a `PhD in Mathematics` - the title of the PhD is never ever (ever) `PhD in Mathematics` (or `Physics` or `Electrical Engineering` or `Computer Science`).

My diploma would beg to differ. This is not mine, but mine looks strikingly similar[1]. (This was just found by a google image search)

THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN PHYSICS

They got their degree from UCI. You'll have to take up any further objections with them, not me. You should probably start by messaging the Department of Physics and Astronomy[2].

As for me, you'll have a terrible time trying to convince me that the words I read on my diploma are not real.

I said nothing you can do about logging. Of course you can stop using large parts of the internet (or stop using it altogether) but that kind of defeats the purpose if there's no good alternative, regardless of accessibility. The point is that perfect privacy on the web is impossible, so why should OP worry about amazon storing voice data when tons is already logged in google meet, microsoft teams, zoom, webex, discord etc.
Kagi… its better than google. I tried for years to replace google and always came back, but with Kagi, I’ve never looked back.
No, but web browsers do have the ability to ask the OS which application is associated with a certain url type.

But it doesn’t leak that information to web pages.
It wouldn't be that widely distributed the majority will be in Florida and Arizona if the snowbirds look elsewhere. Border cities used to cross border shopping trips will also be impacted.

Honestly it might be a bargain, simply for maintaining a certain brand image. Apple has a huge pile of cash, and with respect this is content very very very few other companies are willing to or can afford to make. It buys Apple a kind of mind share that will last & endure & keep paying our, will maintain the Apple name, in a way that nothing else Apple could possibly do would.

Command A: An Enterprise-Ready Large Language Model
If you mean, do we want desktop Linux to have distros, that ship sailed several decades ago. Yes, you don't need a distro to run Linux (as I said before), but most people who run Linux use one.

However, Linux distros, while they play an app store-like role, are still very different from the Windows or Mac app stores. First, they don't restrict what else you can install on the system; you don't have to jailbreak your Linux computer to install something that the distro doesn't package. Second, they don't insist that you set up an account and hand over your personal information, or nag you constantly if you don't do that.
Actually, what most countries seem to do (according to other comments I’ve seen here), is just delegate to local bodies, so country size is a complete non-issue.
Hmm, I like this idea of "write napkin code and let LLM review/expand". In principle one can probably be quite fast and loose at this stage after all, and as you mention for coders it's often easier to express an idea in napkin code (be that "pseudocode" or real code with just zero effort into correctness as a pilot hole).

I think I'll experiment with this as well.
It isn't a stupid question, it is a good one. The answer would depend on how the field is generated in the first place.

Given a field generated by asymmetric rotation of the molten core at the center of the Earth, 'shorting it' (apply a load) would presumably affect the core's rotation. In terms of relative energy however, the poor coupling at the surface would suggest that this would be a very challenging way to divert any meaningful amount of power from the core itself. It would however have to deal with points in time where the core reverses its magnetic field. The papers on core reversals are fun to read.

I think more usefully, the presence of the voltage, might be an interesting way to localize one's location and orientation.

I remember brainstorming "off the wall" power generation ideas and one that has yet to be realized would be to inject dust ahead of a wind turbine with a collector in the back. Then using the Van DeGraf effect to generate power instead of lightning as it currently does.

Ironically I skimmed the first few paragraphs and the essence to attracting attention is to "get to the point". At which point I scrolled down to the bottom just reading the headlines and just couldn't be arsed. I'm usually more interested in the comments.

Edit: looks like I'm not alone.
I thought the ACA was based on the Swiss system of mandatory insurance? The heritage foundation copied the Swiss, Romney took that proposal to Mass, and Obama thought going with a Conservative initiated plan would make it more bipartisan (it didn’t, but mainly because republicans hated Obama).
I wish there was an option for “give bogus contacts” which showed the app a list of contacts - but it was all randomly generated junk. Make it so the app can’t tell if the contacts it gets are real or fake.

I read a fiction book years ago where there were cameras everywhere. To get privacy, instead of hiding their identities the protagonist paid companies to insert bogus information into the information brokers’ network. So if they tried to figure out where they were on a certain day, 20 records would match. I think this is a much more likely vision of the future.

"Well, whether it's better to fluoridate the water or not, ~half the world got the answer wrong. But the important thing is they didn't argue about it."
There isn't a permission for that though - it's all or nothing. I agree that it should be more granular; each app should really have its own scoped file storage area by default, with "access anything" being reserved for file browsers, backup software, etc.
Man.. there are times when trying to debug some error yields no search results and no leads to follow other than "dig through megabytes of the arcane source code with no context of how it's meant to fit together" and if it were possible to have an LLM be able to RAG an entire git repo online and answer questions about it, that would be pretty choice.

I've had basically zero luck with RAG myself so far, especially as I always try to go the local route for better infosec vs relying on cloud solutions like copilot. But trying to tap an LLM to help grok a public github repo wouldn't cover any sensitive data so I wouldn't mind using the cloud for a task like that.
Just reading it wrong. You can't turn off ads in scenic mode, but you can turn off scenic mode.

Vizio kind of has a lot of dark pattern messaging. As an example, they make it seem like you HAVE to enable the microphone on the remote or install an app to change the TV volume. They don't provide a diagram of the remote, so if you don't notice the volume rocker on the side, it seems like you only have two rather invasive options.

Another example is they use wording that makes it seem like you can't use the TV if you don't agree to the terms, but if you do select the disagree button (and after confirming you really want to disagree lol), it just reverts to a dumb TV.
That's life.

If you look at the US as a simulation that branched of the mother tree of Europe in the 15th century, you won't find it odd that it is rediscovering what Europe has already figured out.

Unless you keep doing it (and getting people in congress signing on letting Trump pass) you let norms erode, and accept lawless state. Democrats are complicit by not impeaching Trump for every crime he’s committing.

Failed impeachment (or conviction) is much better than no impeachment at all.
The cloud is great as the failure mode is statistically independent of the home backup failure mode. So both backups together if they have a 1000 to 1 chance of failing per year would give you a million to 1. You'd need to lose your primary data then hit the 365 million to 1 to lose all data.

As someone else in comments mentioned though, one alternative strat is to describe your problem to the LLM using pseudocode or napkin code that you at least don't have to link every last inch of to get it to function. And then of course the LLM's reply is going to revolve around an iteration upon the code that you wrote (often with most of that linting done for you for free).
