It depends what we're judging, doesn't it? If it's "is the formatting in this document compliant with our standards?" I think it's reasonable. If it's like, life-altering if it's wrong I'm less

Well I’m not sure you will find many people who feel the program is perfect as-is but the natural interpretation of what you said in context seemed to be that we should at least temper our criticism.

Well, I’m not making a claim about people showing up to argue on Hacker News so much as the people making the policy. But anyway I anticipate the result of this policy will be economic harm to everyone including people anticipating it will

Just because the status quo isn’t good doesn’t mean we should blindly support anyone changing it even if their results will be even worse.

Well then it’s not working; they’re just hiring people abroad. That outcome would be a disaster if your goal is helping American workers but a success if your goal is just reducing the number of foreigners in the country without regard for

You may well be right but that’s where the urgency for massive action comes from.

Put another way I don’t think this policy is a good way to address the issues you’re talking about because it’s just moving jobs out of the U.S. altogether.

What do you mean it is a distraction? I don’t think the fact that people at the highest level of power go on TV and give racist lectures about how Haiti had problems because Haitians themselves are defective should be ignored when we look a

If you look at it in a vacuum sure. When the same administration is actually floating the idea of making the program more coercive by making it so you can be deported immediately after losing your job I think it’s pretty reasonable to recog

They’re doing the opposite and floating the idea of making the program more coercive by ending the grace period to find a new job, so that essentially ICE could wait outside an office after layoffs and start cuffing people. This is because

Nobody is willing to state this but it’s pretty clear if you look at the way officials behind the policy talk: they’re OK with this. They don’t mind economic harm. The purpose has nothing to do with protecting workers and everything to do w

You don't see this as an attempt to create a new regulatory moat then?

The kind of results you get from the one on Google Search and a dedicated "Gemini Pro" response are totally different. I'm assuming that's cost savings.

I'm assuming they're basing this on the no-passwords part.

Then I guess the states' attorneys general are suckers for not bothering to bring a case.

Yes, the President enjoys great latitude to do things that are ill advised, immoral, or harmful without breaking any laws.

If “his buddies” are not elected the President cannot realistically enact legislation.

None of that makes it, legally, an illegal bribe.

by emodendroket 14d ago
What he did was promise to enact a massive stimulus if elected. If that is illegal you might as well ban any kind of campaigning, because any campaign promise could be construed as a "bribe" to deliver concrete benefits to voters

While his proposed policy is likely extremely unwise there's nothing illegal about it.

I think there's a reason that they've pushed to get these things up all over the country in a very short amount of time. I feel like the more entrenched they are the less likely the Supreme Court is really going to find against t

Another thing is, I have been playing Chinese chess a bit lately and, yes, Pikafish is stronger than any human player, but if you actually share a board state or list of moves with an LLM they will fail to accurately interpret the state of

The board, presumably

by emodendroket 1mo ago
Well, maybe. But most fields of human endeavor aren't very much like a board game with clear, unchanging rules and a single, unambiguous objective.

Yes, but aren't you just restating the premise in more words?

Working on a passion project or working through the hairy details of a complex algorithm or whatever can be fun. But that's not really what the job is like most of the time.

Sure it is. It's just bound to a vowel.

> But that said -- and as others have noted -- the explanation here is misleading, and that's because of the dependence on romaji / transliteration. Japanese conjugation is extremely simple, and the author is missing some essen

"War is politics by other means" is the one line of Clausewitz everyone can quote.

I don't think there's some magical technical trick that lets you do an end run around politics.
