Isn't the Free Market already a form of AI that does exactly that? How can you ban tools for measuring the value of things?

Coalition navy ships (US, England, France, Germany, etc.) are supposed to protect commercial vessels transiting through the International Recommended Transit Corridor (IRTC). Either this ship left the IRTC or the IRTC isn't being protected.

Ships coming through the Gulf of Aden to reach African ports south of it are advised to head east until they were south of India (past the Maldives) before heading south, and then head due west to reach their destination. It's really expensive advice though, and not everyone follows it.

I was on the USS Momsen's VBSS team in the Gulf of Aden back in 2010-2012. We showed up with overwhelming force and they knew they'd survive if they didn't fight back. It was relatively safe and boring. We had protection from our reputation.

I think the US Navy's reputation has been squandered in the last year and I've worried it would make VBSS a lot more dangerous.

Edit: we also didn't hear much from the Houthis while I was there. Things got worse in Yemen after my time.

IntelliJ's .idea/ folder has its own .gitignore and Copilot expects to find things committed under a .github/ folder.

I used to be a purist about IDE configurations, but if everyone isn't on the same page about formatting and stuff like that you see a lot of file churn as things move around.

I would have said the same thing about the .github/ folder, but I've had to add things to it to prevent Copilot from thinking bad patterns in existing code are actually good patterns that should be repeated.

It makes more sense when your communication between teammates is constrained to the repository, because your other communication channels are already saturated. They're meta concerns that really have nowhere to go outside the repository without getting lost.

Is there no constraint preventing extra usage billing from being used before regular usage billing has been exhausted?

>They have some tricks on managing file access that others don’t.

I thought it was a Windows thing. My Windows work computer is so heavily managed and monitored I assumed that was why Copilot stops being able to get terminal output or find the file I'm looking at. It's the same problem in IntelliJ and VSCode, with different models trying to find things in different ways.

Now that I think of it though, I've only used Copilot at work. At home I use Debian but I've never tried using Copilot. Claude, OpenCode, Gemini, and IntelliJ's AI Chat pointed at local Ollama models never have issues finding files or reading files and terminal output.

Ahhh.... I couldn't figure out why they said that. I forgot the Statue of Liberty had double-helix staircases.

I assumed you'd want to run one immutable model that can fit in memory without any temp files.

I'm thinking of Debian and how much effort it takes to maintain stability and security over time.

I can't imagine we'll really be able to trust AI without it's use in open source software where we can see how reliable it is.

Java (incl. Scala, Closure, Groovy, Jython, etc.) is better suited to running as a server. Let agents write clean readable code and leave performance concerns to the JIT compiler. If you really want you can let agents rewrite components at runtime without losing context.

Erlang would offer similar benefits, because what we're doing with these things is more message passing than processing.

Rust is what I'd want agents writing for edge devices, things I don't want to have to monitor. Granted, our devices are edge devices to Anthropic, but they're more tightly coupled to their services.

I bet they can already weaponize their satellites to prevent the launch of other satellites.

Putting data centers in space keeps them out of reach of humans with crowbars and hammers, which may have been a vulnerability for those robots Tesla is building.

>So it's important that there is a moment when these things aren't optional.

I haven't found anything more effective than making sure it happens fast enough other devs don't have time to think about disabling it. They might make their changes locally relying on an IDE without running the full build, which pushes the exceptions to the build agent. Developers may not have privileges to modify those builds directly, but complaints and emergencies slowly erode impediments to deploying.

Fossil fuels were cheaper too, and dilution was the solution to pollution.

The wildlife refuge part isn't. It's managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.

I expect there will eventually be enough cameras publicly streaming public spaces for anyone to be able to track any vehicle anywhere.

It really depends on the context.

Everyone's bandwidth would be saturated if no one assumed their reader knew what they were talking about, but assumption is a form of lossy compression that allows both miscommunication and misunderstanding.

Think of them like different social groups.

The unit of decentralization is the group, not the individual. The client-server relationship is still centralized.

Joining a community is a highly centralizing act. ;-p

Self-deport where? He moved here when he was twelve.

Not to mention...

>According to the family's attorney, Zavvar was charged with a misdemeanor for marijuana possession in the late 1990s. In 2004, he was stopped while reentering the country, which initiated deportation proceedings.

Biden pardoned simple marijuana possession.

>which pardon shall restore to them full political, civil, and other rights.

I think it stands to reason that covers orders to give up all rights and self-deport, as a consequence of simple marijuana possession.

Well, their standards haven't been lowered. They have been raised to your dissatisfaction, and this article still made it through.

>I will seek my answers to the universe elsewhere.

You'll have to look elsewhere for articles that pose a threat to disadvantaged groups.

I enjoyed reading this.

If it's all under one hierarchy controlling it, that's true. If the platform is decentralized and the development of the platform is independent from its use, that vulnerability from the top doesn't exist.

I'm thinking of public platforms like the internet or Bitcoin or Mastodon. Twitter isn't public, so there is no way to know what influence other entities have on it. The same is true of any individual using any platform, but there are too many individuals. We want control over the use of a platform to be divided across as many entities as possible.

There is no unbiased platform for all people to discuss ideas in nature. I don't know why anyone thinks they can create one. You can't increase communication by raising the noise floor.

Consider that a lot of NIH research funding has already been cut.

They effectively ended research they didn't want to release, wasting funding already provided, while counting it as wasteful spending.

How is this book not in Project Gutenburg?

I think of them in terms of the adapter pattern. It would be great if I could talk directly to the SME on the other end of my problem, but the interface I'm going through is the interface for everything so the first layer you hit is the facade with a bunch of adapters that don't know much about the implementation behind the interfaces they're trying to get your message to.

When my father started working at the St. Lucie nuclear power plant in ~1988 they had just gotten rid of a shipment of tape dispensers that arrived too hot to be kept on site.

>We see this in a very specific case, which is in the onset of heart problems. So basically its a more nuanced finding. The finding is not quite as strong.

The one divorce I can think of in my extended family came from the onset of heart problems. Properly speaking, it was the abortion she had that caused the divorce, not the fact that she would have died otherwise.

It's still pretty great for toothpaste (I use Squiggle) and chewing gum that cleans your teeth (I chew Mentos).

The theory may be premised on false beliefs about unions.

The problem is how energy is produced. You're offering solutions at what I think is the wrong end. Pigouvian tax things causing the problems at the point of extraction and let the free market respond to that. The negative externalities have to be realized by the market.

Isn't it how electricity is produced that's causing the problem you describe?
