While the incarceration rate of the US is atrocious, the prisoners (for the most part) have access to the legal/judicial system and are covered by things like habeas corpus, right to a speedy trial, right to counsel, visitation rights, etc.

Also, for the most part, prisons in the US don’t practice torture and political reprogramming. Nor are there concentration camps with indefinite detention save for a handful of black sites like Guantanamo.

People have gotten years-long prison sentences (which are de facto death sentences with regularity) in Russia for donating a few bucks to Ukraine or speaking out against the war. Nothing comparable happens in the US (for now).
Then maybe I am confused but in all the conversations I've been in previously "service job" was almost shorthand for "requires college education". I don't hear people saying we need to get rid of jobs at walmart to bring back manufacturing jobs.

They are talking about getting rid of jobs like journalist, software engineers, accountants, and various other jobs that require college level education as long as its something they associate with some nebulous intelligentsia that they have identified as their enemy
Email isn’t instant. It is usually delayed by 30-40s, but quite often gets into the 20-30 minutes range. Hell, a few weeks ago it took 6 hours to get the login verification emails for my epic games account and couldn’t login.

Emails don’t bounce until they haven’t been able to be delivered for DAYs. With an “s,” so you won’t even know there is a delay until the message doesn’t even matter anymore.
Good. It may finally lead to Legislative action reducing the 95 year absurdity.
You can still offload most of the model to RAM and use the GPU for compute, but it's obviously much slower than what it would be if everything was on the GPU memory.

I think the equivalisation actually ‘unmuddies’ the waters. It means you can’t say something like “the numbers are only higher because more adults are living together”, as that is already being adjusted for. In theory.

It’s still a travesty that the UK has not gotten much richer in the last 20 years than it has, but the constant refrain of “living standards are collapsing” and “no one can afford a house” just doesn’t match the data IMO.
The sentence as a whole is meaningful, which you can see by excluding 'to a combination of tariff and non-tariff':

> This calculation assumes that persistent trade deficits are due factors that prevent trade from balancing

The 'tariff and non-tariff' phrase is _technically_ superfluous but, subtextually, it implies there are such non-tariff reasons.

A DevonLive article on HN: this must be one of the four horsemen!
Another fun one in case someone's interested: the post shows an example of a type that may sometimes lack the inner value of a given type (`Maybe a`), but what about type that never contains such inner value? Would it be useful? And could you define some interface in style of `Functor` class that would prove this property?
The answer to both your questions is that they are not acting in good faith.

1) They didn't include services exported by the US un their "tariff chart" because that chart is just some post-hoc rationalization to their arbitrary, capricious actions.

2) They could implement a more calculated, predictable, slow way of doing this, but these people are not the kind to do that. They are shoot first, don't even ask questions later, just claim victory and keep shooting types.

> What's to gain from doing it this way over the one I mentioned ?

You're asking the wrong question. The right question is: "What do they have to lose by acting the way they are"?

They have nothing to lose. They aren't accountable to anyone. They aren't eligible to be reelected so they're not worried about another term. They have control over all branches of government. They have control of the DOJ and the FBI so they won't be investigated or prosecuted.

There's no downside or disincentive to act the way they are, and so that's why they're dong it.
Parent did mention a single craft. Of course NASA can’t even afford that these days so it’s all moot anyway.
It depends on how long-lasting are the goods. If you import a lot of gold but export less food, then you will get richer and richer over time. If you do the opposite, export gold and import food, then you'll get poorer and poorer, even if you have trade surplus.
the most unintuitive part is that from my understanding, individual tokens are routed to different experts. this is hard to comprehend with "experts" as that means two you can have different experts for two sequential tokens right?

I think where MoE is misleading is that the experts aren't what we would call "experts" in the normal world but rather they are experts for a specific token. that concept feels difficult to grasp.

Oh, this is DDA, not Bresenham, for lines.

An interesting point about Bresenham's algorithm is made by David Schmenk (dschmenk) on his "Bresen-Span" page:

"Take note that the algorithm can be viewed as the long division of delta-major/delta-minor. The error term is really the running remainder, and every step results in a pixel along the major axis until the division completes with a remainder. The division restarts by moving along the minor axis and adding the dividend back in to the running remainder (error term). This is a bit of a simplification, but the concept is that the long division will only result in two integral spans of pixels, depending on the value of the running remainder (error term). We will take this in to account to write a routine that outputs spans based on the two span lengths: a short-span and a long-span."

In other code, dschmenk does use DDA for anti-aliased lines.

JIT as an adjective means just-in-time, as opposed to AOT, ahead-of-time. What Nvidia discussed at GTC was a software stack that will enable you to generate new CUDA kernels dynamically at runtime using Python API calls. It is a just-in-time (runtime, dynamic) compiler system rather than an ahead-of-time (pre-runtime, static) compiler.

No, the execution is required to eventually terminate. The challenge is to find the shortest possible program that generates at least G bytes of output and then stops, where G is Graham's (extremely large) number. This is sort of like the Busy Beaver problem.

Although Llama 4 is too big for mere mortals to run without many caveats, the economics of call a dedicated-hosting Llama 4 are more interesting than expected.

$0.11 per 1M tokens, a 10 million content window (not yet implemented in Groq), and faster inference due to fewer activated parameters allows for some specific applications that were not cost-feasible to be done with GPT-4o/Claude 3.7 Sonnet. That's all dependent on whether the quality of Llama 4 is as advertised, of course, particularly around that 10M context window.

Advertisement get the source money from the viewers, it does not create any money in itself. So, if advertisement is banned, people will have more money, and this money can be used to finance what they want to consume.

This is something that I still struggle to wrap my head around: if a company is paying X$ for advertisement, it means that people subjected to this advertisement will give Y$ to this company that they would not have paid otherwise, Y higher than X, otherwise there is no reason for this company to pay for advertisement. Yet everyone is saying "yeah, advertisement, I don't care, I just ignore it". Surely it cannot be true.
If you'll humor me leaning into the steel man and addressing advertising-as-practiced i.e. ad-tech rather than advertising in the abstract sense:

Data collection is the big harm right now. Advertising companies have enormous databases on ~any individual's interests, political opinions, gender identity, and much more.

The immediate harm of all this data collection is that, while Google has good security practices, the average webshop or advertising middleman does not, and so data leaks are frequent. Stalkers and harassment groups as well scammers and other fraudsters already use such leaked data. This particular harm is in the here and now.

The big looming threat is: What happens when a government decides to tap into these databases. (Y'know. Like they do in China.)

Because right now, should a government ever want to, it can just call up Google, Facebook, whomever else, and ask: "Give us a list of everyone who meets these criteria".

This completely trivializes any kind of large scale oppression of the people. Pre-compiled lists of almost every political dissenter, with verticals across almost every topic imaginable.

It's no hypothetical either. During WWII, the Nazis seized civil registry records in order identify and kill people as part of the holocaust. There's no reason why any future authoritarian government won't do the same to the big ad-tech databases.

---

For something in a lighter mood: The one general problem about advertising is that it's an industry prone to quite a lot of fraud. There's an inherent information asymmetry in that advertising agencies have a near-monopoly on not only the performance data, but also how it's gathered.

How many impressions did a video get? Only Facebook knows. What's an impression? Only Facebook knows. And why would they ever be honest about those two things to you, the advertising buyer?

What does it mean to have 128 experts? I feel like it's more 128 slightly dumb intelligences that average out to something expert-like.

When someone is trying to communicate some stuff to an audience, it's the responsibility of the orator to ensure the audience understands what they're trying to communicate, it's not the responsibility of the audience to figure out what the orator means thru their own effort or research or whatever.

There's always a baseline expectation of some kind of shared context, sure, and within that kind of context your comment makes total sense. But all of the stuff I'm pointing out is definitely not part of any notion of that kind of shared context. That's my whole point!

If you give a lecture to 100 people, and 5 people leave that lecture confused, that's their problem. But if 95 people leave that lecture confused, that's your problem.

This is not the fault of AI, it's just a tool. The fault lies with the specific people in government, MAGA republicans, using this very powerful tool in a reckless, negligent, and improper way. POTUS has endless access to real human expert knowledge, the top minds in the world, and they are using AI instead?

This is a scandal in its own right, but we have to deal with an economic crisis, and a national security disaster, on top of an apparent complete collapse of competence in the west wing; it's literally being run by C-students who graduate without doing their own homework.

Anyone who says the left is doing anything which requires power should not be taken seriously at all.

The left is people like Richard Wolff, Naomi Klein, Noam Chomsky, Slavoj Žižek, Ralph Nader, Norman Finkelstein, Vandana Shiva, Chris Hedges, Michael Parenti, Cornel West.

The left has almost no organized political power in the US. Except for a few city councils and a couple state houses, it's zero.

When people use "the left" as a catch-all for "not us", some broad brushed painting of "outsiders" this isn't a serious conversation, they're just waving their arms around and making sounds.

Advertising medicine, medical services and legal services used to be illegal because it is unethical. Then the US Supreme Court ruled it had to be legal. This is just stating history. Interpret it as you will.
Presumably the difference is index (listing links) vs reproduction (actually returning content).

Also, it’s easier to remove copyright material if it’s not all crammed into an LLM first. Eg. If someone wanted to remove their website from Google, you can do that incrementally without rebuilding the entire index, whereas it’s a lot harder post-LLM (post-processing is probabilistic at best).
>You can cover up the truth, dissemble, point fingers, or—best of all—be humble and honest

If covering up the truth works, why would you risk telling the truth? At worst, the outcome is the same (minor scandal). At best, in most cases, nobody ever learns about the lie. The rational choice is to never tell the truth until it's completely obvious you lied, they e okay dumb.

(Sorry for cynicism. I don't really think like that)
The line doesn't matter, because advertising is protected by the First Amendment.
The Golden Records [1] seem like astonishing, singular undertakings to me. Like the Svalbard seed bank, or the LHC, or the Prado. Their existence inspires me because they remind me of what we're capable of.

The book Murmours of Earth by Carl Sagan, Frank Drake, and Ann Druyan is an interesting commentary on the ideas and choices behind the production of the Golden Records. Published in 1978, but there are copies available from the usual aources.

Actually, no, not at all, and the creation of the phrase claiming social media to be a democratization of communication is wonderfully crafted manipulation. It is the opposite, it is gossip, as in the first false negative is free and any counter truth is expensive to the point of being impossible. It is the perfect communications medium for a powerful subculture to render the rest of culture babbling idiots. Which is what we have today. The "news" reports on emotional fronts, and the factual information of civilization's operations are opaque beyond a stock value. The "news" is truly talking heads, not actually giving actionable information, unless that action is a paralysis of fear. We have a plethora of tyrannical fiefdoms - the corporations the majority of humans are employed and maintained on stagnant wages rendering them 1-2 paychecks away from total loss of their accumulated wealth. The civilization is a farce, cruel, and immature to the point of insanity.
> The remaining YouTube channels would be concentrated around the ones that are of higher quality, rather than easy slop produced to push ads. Nobody would try to clone someone else's channel for money. They would only be produced by people who were passionate about that topic. There would be fewer channels by passionate people, but the percentage would be much higher, so it's not necessarily a worse situation overall.

I have some questions about your vision.

- How many content creators would no longer be able to make passion videos as their full-time job because they're no longer getting revenue-sharing from YouTube?

- Okay, some content creators also have Patreon etc. What's the incentive to post these videos publicly for free, as opposed to hoarding them behind their Patreon paywall?

- What's the incentive for YouTube to continue existing as a free-to-watch service? Or even at all? Take away the ad money, and I can't imagine that the remaining subscription revenue comes anywhere close to paying for the infrastructure.

> The line is clear: is money being exchanged in order to promote a product? That's advertising.

The line is absolutely not clear.

Is ABC allowed to run commercials for its own shows?

ABC is owned by Disney. Is ABC allowed to run commercials for Disney shows? Is it allowed to run commericals for Disney toys?

Can ABC run commercials for Bounty paper towels, in exchange for Bounty putting ads for ABC shows on its paper towel packaging?

Literally no money is being exchanged so far.

I'm familiar with a lot of gray areas that courts regularly have to decide on. But trying to distinguish advertising from free speech sounds like the most difficult free speech question I've ever come across. People are allowed to express positive opinions about products, and even try to convince their friends, that's free speech. Trying to come up with a global definition of advertising that doesn't veer into censorship... I can't even imagine. Are you suddenly prevented from blogging about a water bottle you like, because you received a coupon for a future water bottle? Because if you use that coupon, it's effectively money exchanged. What if your blog says you wouldn't have bothered writing about the bottle, but you were so impressed with the coupon on top of everything else it got you to write?

You can argue over any of these examples, but that's the point: you're arguing, because the line isn't clear.

What I'm saying is set a minimum wage on imports. Set a global minimum wage. Anyone importing something from somewhere that doesn't meet that minimum wage would have to pay a tariff greater than the amount saved with low wages.

The goal is to increase competition and improve fairness between locations. You wouldn't want to do it all at once at first, rather a gradual increase. You wouldn't want to distort the local economy too much so don't insist somewhere pay 10x the median local wage. Lots of things you would do which are more complex with an eye for fairness and competitiveness and definitely not trying to raise everyone by force to American levels of wages, but always measured amounts of
