No, this is why anti trust regulation should be created and/or enforced. It’s insane to me that the “free market” simps don’t understand that you cannot have a free market without regulation. If you get rid of these regulations, you end up with corporate socialism, which is the absolute worst form of economy.

If you don’t expect it to be obeyed or enforced, then I would say that means it should be fast tracked to be changed. “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”

The point is that if you don't follow the law as is then what expectation can you have that anyone follows your changed law - and if no one does then what's the point.

You say "should be", I say "won't". One of those is a statement about material reality.

Not unless the constitution changes first. You have to be born in America to run for president.

If you bribe five members of the Supreme Court, the Constitution can be whatever you want it to be.

Sure, and Denmark might sneak attack Maine. But what’s the point of wild speculation.

You're acting like the landscape of law hasn't changed and been affected drastically by the purchased Supreme Court justices. That has literally happened. It's not a hypothetical or speculation.

I’m not. But this particular example is so beyond the pale for everyone, that it simply isn’t going to happen.

If I had a few dollars for every time I heard “that’s so beyond the pale, it couldn’t possibly happen”, I would be buying some more RAM for my homelab right now.

That’s what licensing is for, not unions.

i don't believe that software development should require a license. imagine having to get board-licensed to download gcc; therein lies the death of free software and owning your devices.

> therein lies the death of free software and owning your devices

(That’s what these people want)

A union could absolutely get involved in something like this.

I found a seashell in the middle of the forest in (well inland) Mississippi. That was an interesting find, and lead me to learn that much of the continental US used to be covered in a sea, I believe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Interior_Seaway

This means the shell was dozens of millions of years old, and may be the oldest thing I’ve ever held, except maybe some rocks.

The article looks LLM-ey, which was really off putting for otherwise interesting content.

"If the model predicts wrong on your filaments, that’s a data problem, not a model problem. We need more measurements."

…

"… there’s a real path to a proper perceptual colorspace model in the spirit of Mixbox or Spectral.js – predictions that are correct by construction across the full ratio space, not patches on residuals. None of this is hard. The math exists. It’s a data problem."

…

"Not in some distant future. Now. The hardware exists. The slicers exist. The filaments exist."

There’s something to be said for the amount of microplastics that end up in the environment. And also that the comparison isn’t only against the US, there are other countries that lead the way in plastic reduction.

I often think it’s the opposite in fact, that the LLM smells come from LinkedIn text.

This tracks. Linked in, stack overflow, Reddit, even hn. All in the training data, I assume.

> At this point, however, it’s not obvious how to stop the deal.

Impeachment, but congress has bent over so much that they can taste their shoes.

They like the payment, and yelling about it while actually not doing anything about it means they get the benefits (as long as their constituents buy it!) while not having to do the actual hard work on take on real risk.

When it blows up, they can even say ‘I told you so!’, often while profiting from it insider trading wise.
