He also hasn't really done anything. Mostly because he made a bunch of promises to do things he doesn't have the authority to do.

This is a strange argument coming from the side of the argument that usually talks about billionaires being greedy and doing anything to make the numbers go up even though they can't feel the difference.

They can certainly afford it but they obviously like their money to stay theirs and like getting more of it, not less.

High speed rail.

It, in effect, turns out not really to be a land value tax at all. It turns out to be a tax on the most valuable thing that _could_ be built there because that's what gives land it's value.

So you're completely correct, the value of the land changes with what's around it because it opens up new options for what someone might build there.

Politicians don't care about that either. They care about trying to balance the budget by cutting money from the places that people care about the least.

Profitability of renting effects supply. Reducing the profitability of renting reduces supply which, as you noted, increases price.

Public prisons have all of the same incentives to reduce costs and anything you should do to ensure public prisons are following minimum standards (regular inspections and regulations) can just as easily be applied to private prisons.

The problem isn't the profit. The problem is the lack of accountability.

This isn't really a low trust society, it's a litigious society problem.

These lawsuits aren't a myth, if you hire a lot of people it'll eventually happen, even if you're not violating any laws. The lawsuits, even when you win, waste time and money. Giving reasons, especially customized "human" responses is absolutely going to increase your chances of being sued.

There is also the cost of the inference hardware that gets ignored because they already have it from training.

The main problem with the scenario of just doing inference is it relies on nobody else training models better than yours. As long as people are training private models that are better than yours, just inference isn't a viable business model.

That's an awfully exciting narrative you've spun.

You seem to be neglecting the important part of that scenario where you're other option you have to compare it to is a human driver that will randomly get it a crash at some higher rate.

You're making it sound like the obvious answer is the irrational one.

Both oversample people that want to take polls, that's the problem.

In fact, online polls are worse because you now have to make sure the "people" answering are actually people and are actually able to influence whatever polling data you're trying to gather.

They've gone from gathering a dataset that's been becoming less reliable to one that is even less reliable.

That's like punching the ground because it hurts to punch the wall.

Online polling isn't an improvement, it's just a different error.

The easy fix is to not do online polling.

If DOGE is going to have an effect on network security, it's not going to be for many more years.

Think of all of the science that goes into firing and controlling a precision guided missile. How much of that technology was created for military purposes.

> There are no military or economic applications of knowing what Martian soil is made out of, or why it lost its atmosphere, or whether life evolved there too.

That should start with, "There is no _known_..."

Unknown unknowns are why people who care about economics and power (governments) care about science.

That's the same sentence.

They cannot afford to lose the worth of their time solving that problem.

> "The brain does it" is not in itself a reason to do the same in AI.

What are the Tensors in LLMs modeled after?

AI demonstrates it's value by solving a problem humans found not worth their time.

This is less valuable than me asking chatgpt to find me a recipe.

Lying and bravado, as always.

Everyone in this scene knows upgrading your console is sure path to getting yourself locked out of current and probably future exploits. I don't think anything really changed here. The moment these exploits go public, they'll be patched in the next version.

This vulnerability will still exist in older versions. The project can still continue development of Linux on PS5 and, eventually, another exploit will be found that enables the installation on a later version.

Frankly, based on the language used, a resignation over this seems to have a lot more to do with the person being upset that LLMs are lowering the bar for entry. They seem more upset that their skills aren't as useful as they were.

It seems like the reputation as a PS5 hacker was the objective, not getting Linux running on PS5.

The words on the paper represent the ideas of what it means to be American. Trump has nothing to do with that. His actions, when the do not align with that paper, can be described as "anti-American".

The US has had a total of _one_ government and what it means to be American is in the founding document of that government. To be German is to lay claim to a history and cultural lineage that is filled with many different governments and even different states all-together.

The US has distinct regional and cultural identities as well, to be a Texan means something more akin to being German. Texas has a history that extends beyond the US. One can be American and Texan precisely because they are describe a different thing.

To be American is to ascribe to a certain set of ideals and, as far as someone isn't living up to those ideals, they are "anti-American".

That kind of gets at my point. To be "German" means something different than being "American".

> And that's the weak link of tying ideals and values to a location like a country

My entire post is about exactly how this is not the case, American values are defined in a document[1].

Not really. America stands for something, they wrote a whole document about it.

There is a big difference between being "American" and being something like "German" because Germany has existed for so long as different governments and the thing that ties it together is not an ethos, but an ethnicity. Being American is different, there's no ethnicity that makes one American, there is only it's ethos. The ideals written in the declaration of independence are American values.

What libertarian utopia do you live in?

You forgot to mention that those people weren't considered "white" at the time.
