It might as well have been vibe coded. Sloppy sloppy architecture.

You seem to overly generalize. Nothing I said was racist. But you sir need your eyes checked. And uncivil attitude.

According to YOU. What a very poor all or nothing statement. And the reader should never listen to someone who claims all or nothing here or there. Nope. Perhaps throw a bridle on your unbridled "kindly fuck off nuance" view.

Couple questions .... what is the author's point of origin and experience with "democracy" and/or "democracies"? I mention this as the founding principals of this Lottery thing are more or less "complaints" and not values or principals really. It is very slasdash and hollow.

But this is a fun thought experiment so lets .... move on.

Why *exactly* is democracy the absolute best form of govt known to mankind? You just kinda slip that in there which is a massive assumption. And exactly which democracy is best aside from the one proposed?

For that matter exactly WHO? and I do mean WHO says that democracies aren't working? Who the fuck has the balls to say that horseshit premise?

No one is saying that. Not seriously, anywhere. No one. That ultimately is the fatal flaw for this thought experiment.

There are fundamentally different value judgments from "European" "Democracies" vs US vs Asian as examples.

Lottery based is an interesting system but not really doable the way this site lays out.

3 years is too short to do anything; unless there is a relief value where a certain percentage (by lottery) of that year's cohort can do something critical in any representative form of govt. Incumbency.

You do in fact need a slowly revolving core of representatives who can do proper work over 2-5 terms max. Otherwise its a constant nut house with nothing getting done and not near enough permanence for medium to long term solutions over time.

At the end of the day for me -- I do not think the people behind this thought this through and it shows. There isnt serious skull sweat in this thing and I think it undermines an interesting concept. I also think just because you are frustrated in democratic processes -- you are the problem.

Apathy is a choice. Ignorance is a choice. Frustration is a choice.

If you do not like your form of govt -- move, make peace with it or roll up them sleeves and get busy participating.

uh-huh. IF there is; Hamas carries the weight. Not Israel. Take a momma bear's cub away and see the momma bear's claws. Duh.

this is the same drack which appears endlessly on Linkedin and bluesky and lil blogs. Guess whatelse is pushed? the same drack in a Newsletter! Not interested and Hacker news is for so much better content than this horseshit.

Nope. South Korea can kick rocks.

Sounds like JD Vance was right. Huh. This with respect is the EU's monster to worry about.

ever try to dev with it on a Mac?

haha.

Nope. No thank you. Not sure if Windows has that issue.

A good thing. "woke" is a marketing term used by people who can make a buck from it. For it or against it.

James Conway.

Oh well. Maybe they can complain to their govt about how they need more stuff and money.

This serves as a PSA to pirate more. Up 12 percent YoY from 2019.

They do not need a law to take a website to court. They can already do that. I need to find the lobbyist website which tracks how much $$$ is coming from Hollywood to DC.

This is exactly like a plot from Silicon Valley. OA's "middle-out compression" will revolutionize the world! I agree with hackernews Habosa's starkly simple comment. These people are up their own ass.

Man that is thick.

- Elon Musk founded OpenAI in 2015 with Sam Altman and Dario Amodei to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) that would benefit humanity, not for-profit interests? - OpenAI was established as a non-profit with the goal of open-sourcing its technology when possible? - In 2020, OpenAI licensed its GPT-3 language model exclusively to Microsoft, going against its mission? - By 2023, Microsoft researchers said GPT-4 demonstrated early signs of AGI capabilities. However, OpenAI did not make it openly available? - In 2023, Sam Altman and Dario Amodei took actions that led to a change in OpenAI's board and direction towards profiting Microsoft over public benefit? - The plaintiff alleges this violated the original agreement between Musk, Altman and Amodei to develop AGI for humanity's benefit as a non-profit? - The plaintiff is seeking damages and to compel OpenAI to return to its original non-profit mission of developing safe and openly available AGI? - Key concerns are that for-profit interests now influence whether OpenAI technology is deemed an AGI and how it is used? - The change in direction away from the non-profit public interest mission damaged public trust in OpenAI? - The suit alleges OpenAI's actions constitute unfair business practices under California law?

I guess we will see if these are answered. Personally, I do not trust Musk nor Altman. Approach them from a corner is what I am saying. OpenAI while their idiot savant in chatGPT is interesting. It is hardly worth paying for with such vast gulfs between good and useable answers and the usual terrible or lazy ones you get normally. While it is important to have a basic ruleset for AI, not when it comes to making it pre-k playground rules. No innovation can be truly had with such onerous and too polite rules today. Narrow AI indeed.

Well of course it is a power play or grab. But you what? It is the same thing when I look for a sidegig or new day job and tell recruiters representing companies -- Remote only. Thanks, but no thanks for hybrid.

Ok, and the lesson was you still trust this service?

That is insane. Why would you stick with an irresponsible company? Unless it is a cultural thing and they are the Walmart of that local area?

I do not get it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjmjqlOPd6A

Unknown. But if it means higher costs for routine shit. GFY. However, you can in fact go live in the forest in your underwear if you really want.

No my dear Kara. Coins have three sides. Can't forget the edge.

"Before his sentencing in March 1996, Kara made an enigmatic statement in court, promising at some point to share his side of this fascinating tale “Remember, every coin has two sides”

AI Summarized (kagi) since it is a longer read.

* Senators Hawley and Blumenthal introduced a bill that would exempt AI from Section 230 protections. There is debate around whether Section 230 currently protects AI output.

* The bill's definition of "generative AI" is extremely broad and could apply to technologies like autocomplete, spellcheck, and grammar check.

* By exempting all conduct involving the use or provision of AI, the bill would effectively eliminate Section 230 protections for most internet companies that utilize any form of AI.

* Plaintiffs could claim that content had some AI component to avoid Section 230 dismissal and drag out cases.

* Companies using AI could lose protections even if they were just following user instructions with their systems.

* The bill creates a loophole for problematic state laws regarding AI and internet liability.

* Removing Section 230 protections would discourage companies from hosting user content with any algorithmic elements and chill innovation.

* Spamming defamatory content combined with unrelated AI could remove protections for the platforms.

* The bill is a "poorly drafted sledgehammer" that would undermine the open internet and hand competitive advantages to other countries.

* While reform may be needed, this is not a narrowly targeted approach and would have significant unintended consequences.

Curious to see the shelf life of this app. Very cool. Will have to test out. Although keeping at arms length in case ONE iOS update or android update nukes it.

If it’s an old school cop sure! But if it’s an automated system… not so sure

In my state it’s unconstitutional for automated ticket systems since it can’t be reliably determined who drove the car.

They would still have to prove you were the one driving the car.

You must have the most points for hacker news hall monitor.

Make sure you qoute the guidelines at me. Tattletales have to just have to people please. Lol.

This is useless just like everything they do. Masterfully full of synergy and nonsense talk.

Is there anyone hear who actually believes this will do something? Sincere question.

It would be good to get some background on the original owner(s) and why they sold. Was it retirement? Was it move to the next thing? unknown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandcamp

Nope. hard pass. Meta can try all it wants to make these happen -- but they arent going to land. Why would I want camera glasses locked into facebook? Fuck that. If they made non-camera ones with just the speakers -- those would have a bigger market what with cameras added. I am sure they next revision of the facebook phone will takeoff /s

That does not count. Those are all from parts kits. 3D printing of firearms outside of superficial accessories is a fraction of a fraction. And newsflash to the world -- Americans have been making "ghost guns" for hundreds of years. Hardly the worth the attention of Law Enforcement. Maybe focus on real crime and not propaganda tuned to scare the average burbanite.

Nope. But NY can fuck over its own citizens until the Decision Class and Elites Leave. It may take a few more decades or years for them to sink into their own version of Detroit circa the 60's. But it is already happening across once large and prosperous cities.

PS, an un-friendly jab: LOL; voting blue no matter who sure is working.
