> That's not why they're targeting conservative voters. They're targeting the states & districts of senators and congressmen who are voting for Trump's agenda in an effort to get them to change their vote.

No. The post I was responding to literally was talking about personally taking advantage of conservative voters, not their representatives. The post above that talked about "punishing everyone involved in this tax hike to the maximum extent. It's pretty clear it's just a "fuck you," aimed at regular people.

No introspection, no proposals for solving the problems that would cause people to give tariffs a chance, just punishment. It's neoliberals saying, "we don't give two shit about you, if you resist our beatings, we'll just beat your harder for being uppity."

Why? I hear this implied, or outright said in your case, frequently with no backing for it. It seems like a truism.
> The last period of peace is as much an exception for one as it is for the other given a significant part of the history of the continents.

But... it's not. 160 years of straight uninterrupted time without total war out of 250 makes no-total-war the norm, not the exception. >50% of the last 250 years have been spent in one continuous period of people not having to wonder if bombs would be falling on their heads today.

That's totally different than Europe, whose longest gap between total war was the 100-year gap between Napoleon and WW1.

> Also, if we think of countries, ... some of those did not have a war on their soil for similar as USA

Yes, but those are each the size of a US state, so unsurprisingly didn't lead to them taking the place of world superpower.

If you're going to be criticizing my argument it would be helpful to keep in mind that I was replying to this:

> But a large degree of the exception was being excepted from being blown to smithereens during WW2, which is the kind of opportunity that doesn't usually come around twice.

You're taking things in totally different directions that aren't relevant to the question of how often the US will continue to be the largest Western country with no threat of total war on domestic soil.
Buy a second hand phone just for the trip. Don't log-in into anything (an Android), and install no apps. Just remember your password. Once you get to the hotel go ahead and install whatever you need for your trip (navigation etc.) You can check most things via the phone's browser, your email through Firefox/webmail, etc.
You can install signal and text to your 'other account' at you PC at home any photos/zips/etc.
If you are really afraid, you can reset the phone before you get to the airport to leave. Your photos will be waiting for you on the Singal at your home.

I'd put the spotlight on the repair prices to fix a MacBook screen: a full replacement will cost more that half the machine price, and basically the same as a motherboard replacement for low-middle range models.

It's akin to asking if you prefer to lose your right or left arm.

Apple would get out of that issue altogether if they gave up on the ultrathin screen. Again, the iPad doesn't have this issue for instance.

Hatchet looks very cool! As an interested dilettante in this space, I’d love to read a comparison with Dagster.

> or operate heavy machinery

What exactly do you mean by this one?

In large mining operations we already have human assisted teleoperation AI equipment. Was watching one recently where the human got 5 or so push dozers lined up with a (admittedly simple) task of cutting a hill down and then just got them back in line if they ran into anything outside of their training. The push and backup operations along with blade control were done by the AI/dozer itself.

Now, this isn't long term planning, but it is operating in the real world.

My meta-comment is that it's a really sad state of affairs that we don't as a society have an immune system that makes it so that an individual who posts openly about creating software whose sole (and even if not "sole" then certainly intended) purpose is to enable others to deceive and cheat their way to "success" is made a pariah.
The carpenter can sell the design of the chair.
Absolute nonsense, of course. Your case disintegrates completely given Spotify was given a specific and targeted carve-out in DMA.

The law is written to arbitrarily tax US "gatekeepers" while explicitly excluding EU gatekeepers. Booking.com is another, also carved out.
>..how do you keep up?

You/We don't. Simply not possible. The important (to you and your work) will show themselves. And/or limit what you spend your time with. Least amount of info/least amount of time (you also need time to 'digest' all that info and connect the dots).
What is the reasoning behind TTL counting down instead of up, anyway? Wouldn't we generally expect those routing the traffic to determine if and how to do so?
Very well put. I’m open to a future in which nothing is copyrighted & everything is in the public domain, but the byproduct of that public domain material should _also_ be owned by the public.

Otherwise, we’re making the judgement that the originators of the IP should not be compensated for their labor, while the AI labs should be. Of course, training & running the models take compute resources, but the ultimate aim of these companies is to profit above & beyond those costs, just as artists hope to be compensated above & beyond the training & resources required to make the art in the first place.
So, once again, we're in the era of "There's an [AI] app for that".

How was it then entered into the Altair? Did someone have to retype it? Or was there media that predated floppies that was used?
I don't think those are actually showing different things. The OpenAI paper is about the LLM planning to itself to hack something; but when they use training to suppress this "hacking" self-talk, it still hacks the reward function almost as much, it just doesn't use such easily-detectable language.

The Anthropic case, the LLM isn't planning to do anything -- it is provided information that it didn't ask for, and silently uses that to guide its own reasoning. An equivalent case would be if the LLM had to explicitly take some sort of action to read the answer; e.g., if it were told to read questions or instructions from a file, but the answer key were in the next one over.

BTB I upvoted your answer because I think that paper from OpenAI didn't get nearly the attention it should have.
"incentive to move manufacturing back to the US"

Only for the internal market. America will never again manufacture steel or cars for the rest of the world.

> you can observe what CPU instructions it uses to sign the challenge, and replicate the operations yourself.

No you can't, that's the whole thing with homomorphic encryption. Ask GPT to explain it to you why it's so.

You have no way of knowing the bounds of the code I will access from the inside the homomorphic code. Depending on the challenge I can query parts of the binary and hash that in the response. So you will need to replicate the whole binary.

Similar techniques are already used today by various copy-protection/anti-cheat game protectors. Most of them remain unbroken.
You've missed my entire point which is still not addressed at all with any of the examples you mention.

Please note that I never once claimed traditional engineering is predictable — you seem to be stressing a point out of your pre-conviction what a software engineer would believe and not what I am stating plainly.

I am talking about a fully "finished" project (say, an apartment building, with people living in those apartments), needing to have a floor inserted in the middle.

This is not about "changing requirements", this is about evolving a project that was initially built to be an apartment building into a stadium or an airport without messing up any of the apartment dwellers.

Again, this does not mean that the agility and creativity actual engineering needs to posess is at all smaller (in fact, some of the examples that are hard with large physical structures, are trivial with software — like that "moving a bridge" example), but I stay unconvinced that the methods that work for engineering would work as well for software.

As I believe most technical debt comes from attempting to predict the future and not rushing, I don't see the parallel there either.

Basically, they are arguing points I didn't make and don't believe, and not addressing points I do make and do believe.

For a single player game, that might be a good explanation.

For a multiplayer game, though, it's not hard at all to see what's happening. If a cheater cheats and gets away with it, then they rationally should expect to receive social reputational credit, which I want to believe is something that instinctively makes most of us feel good, us being social creatures.

The thread is specifically about DMA. My parent comment mentions DMA specifically. This 'EU enforces the law equally' position is nonsense, considering Spotify, an EU company, was carved out from the DMA.

Sounds legit!
The idea that talks are performances was particularly striking to me. A lot of technical presentations come off as info overload. but the best ones incorporate storytelling, humor, or smooth pacing. these features help grab the audience's attention. in academia, how you present something is just as important as what you present.
> The list of dropped components is quite large. The cryptsetup, cryptenroll, unified kernel images, kernel signing and systemd-boot work nicely together.

These are also all components which would be extremely difficult to make portable - they require tight integration with the kernel and its boot process. I can't imagine how you'd implement them in a portable fashion, short of either making changes to the kernel on one or both operating systems, or implementing a complex set of shims to make them present similar interfaces. Either one of those options would be a sizable project on its own - I can't fault the developer from shying away.
Why not fix all the broken doc links and make sure you have the full sdk spec down first, ready to go? Then drop it all at once, when it’s actually ready. That’s better and more respectful of users. I love the product and want y’all to succeed but this came off as extremely unprofessional.

Sure but if you're so reductionist then you'd also be arguing that slaves were making a statement about their values and how they viewed slavery because the majority didn't immediately escape or die trying. It would be disingenuous to say or even imply from that statement that their value system was pro slavery though.
I think a lot of people are simply delusional. "My teams are holding me back, I only turn it on when they're throwing the game" or "I have the game sense of a masters player, I just don't have time to practice execution / grind rank". Boosting account ranks is the same deal, and it's a big industry.
> If the code works, passes all relevant tests, is reasonably maintainable, and can be fitted into the system correctly with a well defined interface, does it really matter?

You're not wrong here, but there's a big difference in programming one-off tooling or prototype MVPs and programming things that need to be maintained for years and years.

We did this song and dance pretty recently with dynamic typing. Developers thought it was so much more productive to use dynamically typed languages, because it is in the initial phases. Then years went by, those small, quick-to-make dynamic codebases ended up becoming unmaintainable monstrosities, and those developers who hyped up dynamic typing invented Python/PHP type hinting and Flow for JavaScript, later moving to TypeScript entirely. Nowadays nobody seriously recommends building long-lived systems in untyped languages, but they are still very useful for one-off scripting and more interactive/exploratory work where correctness is less important, i.e. Jupyter notebooks.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the same pattern happen with low-supervision AI code; it's great for popping out the first MVP, but because it generates poor code, the gung-ho junior devs who think they're getting 10x productivity gains will wisen up and realize the value of spending an hour thinking about proper levels of abstraction instead of YOLO'ing the first thing the AI spits out when they want to build a system that's going to be worked on by multiple developers for multiple years.

Explain why Spotify got a carve-out from the DMA despite being an effective monopoly gatekeeper.

Is it because it's an EU company and the DMA is a tax on the United States?

Come on, be real. Do you honestly think that would make a lick of difference? Maybe, at best, delay things by a couple months.

The only people making chairs by hand today are exceptionally well-paid artisanal craft carpenters and/or designers/studios.

It's not at all unusual for popular/iconic furniture designs to be copyrighted.

Reality is people who invent truly original, useful, desirable things are the most important human beings on the planet.

Nothing that makes civilisation what it is has happened without original inventiveness and creativity. It's the single most important resource there is.

These people should be encouraged and rewarded, whether it's in academia, industry, as freelance inventors/creators, or in some other way.

It's debatable if the current copyright system is the best way to do that, because often it isn't, for all kinds of reasons.

But the principle remains. Destroy rewards for original invention and creativity and you destroy all progress.
Hard not to see this as a class war that has been fed by some of the personalities that were big in the "conservative" sphere for a long time. Modern podcast influencers are big, but this isn't exactly a new thing. Rush and his ilk were big on lashing out against "ivory tower" theories. And they didn't invent the idea. Just went after easy targets.

None of which is to say that mistakes weren't made in the institutions. They were. Mistakes were also made by the critics. Populism, sadly, has a habit of celebrating their worst and elevating them to heights they flat out can't handle.

I think what you observe is more like a natural blowback to the prevailing idea that this is somehow beyond critique because it will fundamentally change culture and civilization forever.

Most people know roughly what is at stake, where they stand, and can defend their position in an honest way.

Then comes new technology, everyone and their mother gets excited about it, and steamrolls all those lofty ideas into "oh look at all the shiny things it can produce!". Be careful what you wish for.
