It just means that the entire system has not been captured by insane people that there is still some pushback. Anyone who believes in the Unitary Executive Theory likely believes that the President wears imperial robes. The idea that the Pr

Whether or not you agree with how US laws are drafted, this administration has no logical foundation for anything it does which is a massively different and worse problem by orders of magnitude. This administration runs on whims. This is ho

Yes, if it was that a search result returned a defamatory article that Google had nothing to do with outside of indexing, it is likely they would not be found liable. The court is clearly trying to make a distinction that the AI search resu

> Pretty much the exact thing that Google AI Overview does. No, the article implies the court’s logic is that the AI search results are presented as search results and that’s a big part of why they are liable. It seems like the court (ag

There is a lot of tension that the report seeks to either minimize or avoid. It’s also just really hard to express it in a report like this because there’s no real place for it if the goal is to look professional. I think the RubyGems fiasc

IMHO, Ruby Central keeps trying to find a way to frame all of this in a good light, but it seems like they keep falling flat. They tried doing filtered Q&A avoiding all the obvious questions that people hostile to what happened would as

From what I can tell, this story is primarily about personalities. The community essentially ended up with several factions, but I’ll try to explain this without it degenerating into the schoolyard fighting that it appears to be. 1. Ruby Ce

Don’t worry Peter Thiel will help change that after he destroys the functionality of most of the global economy since he’s basically asserted that New Zealand is his break glass refuge.

Why? If you care about the rules based order that we have mostly try to adhere to for decades, all of this is an enormous attack on it. Is the United States at war or not? What basis is there to sink a frigate leaving a naval wargame exerci

It did not raise $110 billion. According to their own SEC filings $35 billion of Amazon’s funding is contingent on “(i) OpenAI meeting specified milestones, and (ii) OpenAI directly or indirectly consummating an initial public offering or d

The future is not evidence? I don’t understand what you’re saying. > The company is going to produce 5-6X the revenue with a similar number of employees as they had 6-7 years ago before the overhiring boom. That’s not evidence. That’s a

The problem is that there is no hard evidence anywhere to actually prove this. I’m going to avoid whether or not AI productivity gains are real, but all the “data” I have seen affirming this is black box observations or vibes. Even your evi

This really depends on how a state structures this, but “county courthouse” is not necessarily a meaningful statement. The judiciary is a state function and it has been delegated to county for purposes of logistics. In larger states, each c

I remember distinctly that the developers said they were working on a next generation version of it and it just never happened. I think they just ran out of funding and died with a whimper.

Apple is on the record as being neutral at worst on the matter and at best weakly supportive. I think there was an article when the M1 came out where it was reported that the Asahi Linux folks met with some Apple developers where they were

This reminds me of modern windows having fake panes. They’re just strips that are applied to give the impressions that there are multiple smaller panes because people are used to that and it feels “correct”. I have to imagine past glassmake

The most worrying thing is that Mullenweg just seems unwell and has created his own reality distortion field where he can no longer see the absurdness and damaging nature of his actions. His behavior reminds me of a cult leader or a celebri

I agree with most of this story, but I really find the assertion that weird nerds are just autistic rather offensive and dismissive. It reminds me way too much of lazy teachers in the 90s insisting students they didn't want to manage w

Has Musk ever handled the operational aspects of the companies he claims to run? Does he really understand what it takes to make a company _work_? For instance, my understanding of SpaceX is that he really should be seen as the initial fina
