The constitution prohibits “ex post facto” laws - how can you revoke someone’s documentation when they complied with the laws as they were at the time?
I agree with you generally that this should be illegal, but it probably isn't.
It definitely isn't ex post facto; this is not a law that punishes anyone from a legal perspective, it merely changes the requirements for a certain privilege (the ability to drive a vehicle). If it declared these licenses invalid before the date of the law (which could carry punishments for illegally operating vehicles), then it would be ex post facto.
Another way to put it is that it simply makes a certain action illegal which was previously legal, and laws do that sort of thing all the time. Consider that in the US you didn't need a driver's license in order to drive at all until 1913. The NJ law requiring drivers licenses also "revoked" someone's privilege even though they complied with the laws previously, requiring them to get a permit from then on. But, since it didn't introduce any punishments for not having the permit before it was introduced, it wasn't ex post facto.
Of course the law is also clearly discriminatory, but US's extremely limited anti-discrimination laws are likely not broad enough to be applied here.
The current events should awaken many people to the sad fact that US laws and its entire legal system exists primarily to protect the wealthy and the powerful from everyone else; all other functions are secondary. As such, many horrible, immoral, and unjust things are legal under US laws, and many others will be twisted into being legal by the supreme court.
It's not the fault of consumers, monopolization and price fixing are inevitable outcomes of capitalism. Even if people somehow weren't attracted by lower prices, amazon would do all sorts of shenanigans to drive competition out of business or agree with them to fix prices.
TikTok got its hold mainly by being extremely addictive and using predatory dark patterns to keep you scrolling. That and being less censored compared to other corporate social media. While we can try to strive for the latter (with reasonable limitations), we shall not do the former, even if that means less users overall. "Avoid success at all costs".
To be fair, LLMs can be quite useful tools to fill the gaps around traditional tooling for writing and coding. But I agree with you that they will never become AGI, just by their very design.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is already the case, depending on your definition of "code". After all LLMs can spit out code-looking text at a rate much faster than any human. The problem comes when you actually try using this code for anything important, or worse still when you try to maintain it going forward. As such, most code in projects that actually matter will probably be either created, or at least architected and carefully guided by humans for quite some time still.
It actually does this already sometimes, especially if you chat to it long enough. Not because it's "smart", but because it's just emulating a writing style of a corporate middle manager.
I could understand more-or-less everything at 1300, got the gist of the story at 1200, and could make out some familiar roots and morphology from other languages at 1100 and 1000 but not enough to puzzle things together.
As another vegan: sorry, no, it's not accurate. And the texture/meltiness is just completely off. It is similar enough for me to enjoy it and not want real cheese anymore. However, for many people (especially americans) cheese is some holy substance, so we do need to continue improving vegan cheeses for more people to jump.
I think the meme is a cliche of "haha you are in a relationship so your partner takes up all your time and you don't have any time for your hobbies". Which sounds like a pretty toxic relationship tbh
I made a really cozy and usability-focused setup like 10 years ago, and since I made it with NixOS+home-manager I'm just carrying it over with me. It is going strong after three device swaps, two moves to a new country, and meeting a partner, with some minor changes (i3 -> sway, Nord theme -> custom base16-based, pulseaudio -> pipewire, etc)
At this point, north korea is genuinely be a safer place to visit (if you have a visa). At least they provide you with a "guide" who tells you what to do and where to go, instead of just throwing you into a concentration camp straight away.
Soo, they piped a probabilistic token predictor straight into a root console of a customer-facing service, and it only caused an outage twice so far? They should consider themselves lucky.
Yes, it is never complete, but you have to compensate for that. Otherwise you kinda end up with a map of openstreetmap coverage quality rather than whatever you were trying to research.
