At some point, the adults in the room (and specifically, a few brave and seasoned elder statesmen/women) need to stand up and state the obvious: On sufficiently long time scales, the internet will not tolerate states, and states will n

It's wild to me that these sorts of stories provoke - on HN of all places - frothy calls for state intervention. Is it by design? Is this some dark campaign to stifle open source LLM development? Some mushrooms are horribly poisonous.

The most insightful tarot draw I've had (out of maybe five in my life) was one where I forgot to shuffle a brand new pack of cards, so I got four of the same. I don't even recall which card it was, but it inspired careful examinat

Just to be clear: you're comparing the collapse of the creative restrictions which the state has cleverly branded "intellectual property" to... the holocaust? Of all of the instances on HN of Godwin's law playing out tha

I have a pretty solid collection of data - emails and such throughout the years, reddit and HN comments, photos and videos, audio recordings... But what do I do with it?

Idea: Specialized motion-capture system to help jugglers increase their object count, stamina, and trick repertoire. Roast: Oh great, just what the world needs: another gizmo for the 12 people who think they can make a living from juggling!

Although I agree that your question is important and sensible, I also think that the metaphors involving locks, keys, and doors have added complications rather than subtracting them to every discussion where they've been applied since

I'm surprised to see agreement, even just in principle, with this amendment. If you think this is OK, are you just against ADS-B altogether? I have serious qualms about someone flying a 23,500lb hunk of metal, laden with volatile and e

At some level, isn't the whole exercise of characterizing the copying of bytes as "piracy" just a way to justify invasive state policy? We can observe that the nature of information is that it is free to copy. This is not a

No, I really don't know. Do you just mean drugs which the state prohibits? If so, isn't that begging the question? If a person wants to go to a place where drugs are prohibited, and "drug" is defined as a substance whi

In addition to prohibition being impossible (and a policy failure in every case where it has been tried, without a single historical exception - one of the most consistent policy outcomes in all of political science), it also isn't cog

You seem to be conflating a distaste for demonstratively failed policy, like as prohibition, with an appetite for what you are calling "recreational drug use". Do you acknowledge the failure of prohibition?
