If gambling stops, the economy collapses.
trumpdong··on The Reversal Curse: LLMs trained on "A is B" fail to learn "B is A" (2023)
Pretraining could be reasonably expected to make it learn that mother/father and son/daughter are inverse relationships and Tom is usually a male name.
trumpdong··on Successful Psilocybin Treatment of Alzheimer
AFAIK psychedelics are thought to stimulate neurons into connecting with each other more than they normally do - both temporarily (which explains the short-term sensations) and also permanently (they stimulate neuroplasticity).
trumpdong··on Improvement in advanced Alzheimer’s disease following high-dose psilocybin
Psilocybin is one of those things we don't even know the full effects of because the government had a hysterical fit and completely banned it because people who took it were more likely to oppose the Vietnam War.
trumpdong··on Ported my C game to WASM, here's every bug that I hit
You don't need 4GB and it wastes memory to make pointers twice as big? Even Linux supports running 64-bit code in a 32-bit address space ("x32 ABI") for this reason.
trumpdong··on Ported my C game to WASM, here's every bug that I hit
JS in the web context is what C or assembly is in the native context: something you have to use, because it's the foundation the platform is built on, and every language needs a way to interact with it, and good languages support it inline when you need it.
trumpdong··on Ported my C game to WASM, here's every bug that I hit
There's no way to draw on a canvas in WASM either. You just decided to write JS wrapper functions for that. But you didn't write wrapper functions for DOM manipulation.
trumpdong··on German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews
It's why people say "Donald Trump was held civilly liable for sexual assault in the E Jean Carroll case" instead of "Donald Trump raped E Jean Carroll"
trumpdong··on German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews
Why should Google do anything unless not doing anything costs them money? Record the behavior, then contact a lawyer.
trumpdong··on German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews
The danger there is that the government will demand access to a journalists sources. "Leak reports Area 51 has aliens!" "Oh yeah? Prove who told you that or we'll arrest you for lying"

Or selectively. "Vaccines cause autism!" "Okay" "Vaccines don't cause autism!" "Prove it beyond a reasonable doubt or we'll arrest you for lying"

If we can solve these problems, then yes?

I guess there is a small benefit to living in a police state!
trumpdong··on Grit: Rewriting Git in Rust with agents
That's not copyrightable because it's trivial.
trumpdong··on Launch HN: Transload (YC P26) – Measuring freight items with CCTV
Props for finding a problem that needed to be solved instead of just generating some hype
trumpdong··on Grit: Rewriting Git in Rust with agents
Making something similar is copying for the purpose of copyright law. If I trace over a Disney character it's still copyright Disney.
trumpdong··on FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get all customers' IDs
Fun fact: in India, it is a crime to connect the IP network to the telephone network in any way whatsoever that allows calls originating in IP to terminate at telephones. This is because IP network users don't have to provide ID. (It does not prohibit calling from telephones to IP networks, or IP apps calling other instances of themselves)

Don't those clerks go to jail?
trumpdong··on FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get all customers' IDs
Isn't this the exact same thing? If you don't have a valid ID to vote, now you don't have a valid ID to use a cellphone either. And if you wanted to go and get one, too bad because you probably need a cellphone to do that.
trumpdong··on FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get all customers' IDs
So basically people from Africa won't be allowed to use their phones in the USA by order of the government? (If they can even get into the country without ending up in an ICE camp, of course)
trumpdong··on FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get all customers' IDs
It's not about controlling them, it's about controlling you and me

Did you ever read about how the creator of Session was forced to flee Australia and move to Switzerland?

It's hardly un-American if America does it the most, is it?
trumpdong··on FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get all customers' IDs
There are phone farms that exclusively use burner phones and do not need to spoof caller ID.
trumpdong··on FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get all customers' IDs
The loophole is to use a homeless person's ID for $20.

Wait. In the US don't they not even have an ID standard? The homeless person probably doesn't have any valid ID and neither do members of several other disenfranchised groups, right? So now they're not allowed to have cellphone service?

An SMS activation price is about $0.13 btw, there are several sites that do this commercially with hundreds of thousands of numbers. Not going to name any since that'd be advertising for them.
trumpdong··on FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get all customers' IDs
Can you tell me more about how to order and receive a fake ID on the dark net in less than 30 seconds? It does sound rather implausible.
trumpdong··on FCC wants to kill burner phones by forcing telecoms to get all customers' IDs
This is already a thing in most countries btw
trumpdong··on Flat Datacenter Networks at Scale at Amazon
It's not a consequence of this.

And that's their... third... fourth? completely separate system for connecting an AWS virtual network to a physical DC in the outside world?

trumpdong··on Flat Datacenter Networks at Scale at Amazon
On the internet each ISP is looking for congested links and expanding those links, like a lazy-loaded fat tree.
trumpdong··on Flat Datacenter Networks at Scale at Amazon
That's a different thing entirely, that assumes you already have a physical layer that allows any client to connect to any broker, this is about building that physical layer
