The comparison to western European countries doesn't hold up. Speaking from Norway: yes, it's true you have to provide ID to vote, both in national and local elections. The difference is that obtaining ID is trivial , to the poin

Resource is expensive in location A due to too low supply. Resource is cheap in location B due to higher supply. Moving resource from B to A is non-trivial. Why is it so crazy that the facilitators of getting the resource moved get compensa

I, too, am very sensitive about cameras invading the privacy of neighbors. But to be fair, it is perfectly possible that the cameras in question don't view anything outside of the property in question.

Have you ever visited the real world? You have to live with plenty of idiotic laws all the time. This does not mean you have to like them. Nor does it mean you can't welcome laws that remedy some of the downsides of the idiotic laws. I

Of course the underlying law is idiotic. What I meant is that if we take the law as a given, then the exemption we are discussing here are very good and sensible . I wish they weren't needed, but given that they are, the language seem

Backtracking, of sorts. The LLM descends a seemingly fruitful path, and all of a sudden that path seems less so. So you backtrack a few tokens ("erasing"/"undoing") and resample the probability distribution a bit ba

You can coax Netflix into giving you 1080p in ordinary Firefox by setting the right user-agent. That's good enough for me, and if it stops working I'll be motivated to stop paying those assholes anyway.

I think it all comes down to a dichotomy that wasn't extremely visible before LLMs: there are, broadly, two kinds of people – those for whom the journey and the learning are the most important, and those for whom those are mere obs

So if I want to push an existing project with 1000 commits to GitHub for the first time, I gotta do it over the course of 10 months? Encouraging big commits seems antithetical to the idea of git in general.
