Laws that mandate interoperability between devices are a net win for individual consumers and the market as a whole. They simplify people's lives, make society more efficient, prevent opportunities for blatant rent seeking and ultimat

Absolutely. The other comments replying to your original comment that are nitpicking over implementation details miss the purpose and importance of this step. The fact that this release process is missing this key step is significant too i

But theres a balance to be struck there — keep the government too small and weak and it is susceptible to corruptive forces from domestic and foreign enemies alike. So imho it isn’t enough to simply keep government ‘small’ —it is also impor

I don't know if it's so much about making sure these people know what they're supporting but it's definitely significant that this is one of the few places where you can have a dialogue with the people who work at these

This is a neat idea. I've been wondering for a while now about using these kinds of models to compare architectures. I'd love to see the output from different models trained on pre-1905 about special/general relativity ideas
