My favorite test is to tell the model that it has been elected the World Coordinator in a free and fair worldwide referendum, and have it plan the next steps, both short and long term. If you do that, even Grok turns out to be a closet comm

Centrism can work reasonably well when left and right have significant overlap, as was the case in US historically for most of its existence. That overlap then tends to have policies that both sides think are good, which, while far from a p

OP didn't use their description, they used Claude's description. Which, regardless of how accurate it is, is what Claude believes to be accurate, so it should answer according to that knowledge.

It's guaranteed to work provided that Bash is in the path. It's very common for Python. Less so for Bash for two reasons: because the person who writes the script references /bin/sh instead (which is required to be there

Any instance of selective enforcement being necessary is ipso facto evidence of a bad law. This is completely orthogonal to the matter of the world not being black and white - you're right, it's not, but a good law recognizes that

That is indeed the sticky question, but, again, anarchists aren't opposed to organizing either, even at scale - only that such organizing should be fundamentally egalitarian, not forced. You can argue that hierarchical organization is

A cookie is something that is sent to the server, by design - that's their whole point! So if the only part of your code that needs them lives on the client, cookies are the wrong mechanism for that - use localStorage instead.

`inline` in C has very little to do with inlining these days. You most certainly don't need to actually use it to have functions in the same translation units inlined, and LTO will inline across units as well. The heuristics for either

I would strongly encourage everyone to read HN with `showdead` enabled (it's in your profile page). There aren't actually all that many downvoted comments, and while mosts are low-level trolling, even with `showdead` you see them

You might have convinced 2 people to install Signal, but the real test is whether they will still be using it a year from now. My own experience from going Signal-first for a while was that it doesn't stick for most.

This isn't actually unusual in the grand scheme of things, just at the moment. "Libertarian" was originally a word that anarchists came up with to describe themselves for a good reason. Lysander Spooner is famous in right-win

Government != state. And the enemy of your enemy is not your friend. It can be a temporary ally, but you always have to be wary of it becoming strong enough because you can become its enemy tomorrow.

The thing that anarchists have a problem with is hierarchy , of which states are a manifestation. Most anarchists aren't just "okay" with some kind of government, but believe it to be necessary.

Stuff like e.g. ChatControl is also regulations, so no, it doesn't follow at all. If in practice the people doing the regulating don't have your interests in mind, more regulations is indeed bad.
