You give me too much credit. I was just being tongue-in-cheek about Principia Mathematica.

Hasn’t this been tried already?

It's actually based on country of birth. If your parents were French but were living in India when you where born, you will be in the India quota, even if your nationality is French.

It's 100% based on country of birth. What do you mean?

Since we are talking for other people, "devs" wouldn't have supported someone downloading all those copyrighted works from the pirate bay and profited by, for example, selling them. I don't see any 180.

Weren't they already rebuilding it a couple of years ago?

? In general, it is, unless it has some collector value, for example.

Not that I know of. I just heard rumors but never saw it myself.

Im surprised to hear that. I went to Caltech for my postgrad and never collaborated on an test, and it would have never ocurre me to do so (and no, the professor didn’t have to explicitly say they collaboration was not allowed. It was just the standard honor code).

We all suspected of people that didn’t adhere to the honor code and it was frowned upon, and they could have faced repercussions if anyone had reported them.

Couldn't you use it with a Codex subscription? Plus is $20 per month

Even the diagrams

Years ago, I worked at Apple at the same time as Ian Goodfellow. This was before ChatGPT (I'd say around 2019).

I had the chance to chat with him, and what I remember most was his concern that GANs would eventually be able to generate images indistinguishable from reality, and that this would create a misinformation problem. He argued for exactly what you’re mentioning: chips that embed cryptographic proof that a photo was captured by a camera and haven't been modified.

That's your reading of the situation, and far from logical to everyone else.

I log in. Click on Business -> Domains. Then click on the looking glass under "Actions" on my domain. I can there see all my addresses an Pwned Sites.

But I think you are right, because I only have 3 breached addresses under my domain (I do see the 10 addresses wording under subscriptions)

It does. I just checked mine today. I can see exactly which individual email addresses in my domain where exposed and in which data leak. I have never paid for it.

Does that make sense though? It seems appropriate to me that only citizens of a country can vote in the elections of such country (US or elsewhere). It’s definitely more complicated than “no taxation without representation”.

Some counter arguments from the top of my head:

What about tourists? They pay taxes while they are here too.

What about electoral interference? It’s way easier to pay taxes than to gain citizenship; this would create a perverse incentive.

What about allegiance? When you become a citizen you pledge allegiance to the US. Not when you pay taxes. Would incentives be aligned?

What about citizen only duties? (male) Citizens have to sign up for selective service and might have to go to war. Not so with H1Bs (though, to your point, permanent residents have to do it). Would it be fair to offer voting rights to everyone even if they don’t have the same duties?

> Taxation without representation (i'm suggesting adding the latter, not removing the former)

Happens to permanent residents too, not only employment visas.

Off topic, but if I slide left to right I get a tutorial jquery.mmenu on this page.

I still have mine with rockbox installed. I had to replace the battery, and the clip broke years ago, but I haven’t found anything like it to replace it.

WhatsApp used to be a paid app, and I paid for it back in the day, as did lots of my friends.

I think lately I look at anything new with my guard up.

In this case, first the FAQ gave me those vibes. Why? Hard to tell. If I have to force myself explain it, it has the kind of didactic and dumbed down tone that I usually get from chatgpt when I ask questions about complex topics.

Then I went to your blog and saw the entries were mostly (I assume) AI generated as well. I know it doesn't necessarily follow that because of that this website has been mostly created by ChatGPT as well. But I saw it as some kind of weak confirmation.

Finally some of the JS code comments such as "Plot Charts" right before a "PlotChart" also made me think this.

As I said, I'm just extra cautious about this stuff lately. You are the creator, you know how you did it. If my intuition was wrong I wholeheartedly apologize for making that statement. I could probably have expressed it in a kinder way. I know that it's not easy to create it something now and put it out there for people to see it and criticize it.

The whole website and the way FAQ is worded give AI generated vibes

Counterpoint, it has happened to me twice, once with Lufthansa and another time with a low cost airline (Vueling). Both times I was paid without fuss. Both times I filed for it myself.

I got a box full of them. It's such a treat when you come home and they are waiting for you in your mailbox!

One of my favorite ones is from the USS Hornet Museum [1]

I understand that one as a reference to facebook being a social network, rather than a reference to its actual management structure.

Mañana does rhyme with banana, what do you mean?

But yeah, the mnemonics are awful.

That’s an oversimplification. Saying that it’s error prone because you have to write in two places is akin to saying that using a checksum is error prone: you have to write now the vale AND the checksum! More opportunities to make an error!

Doble entry accounting is very similar to a checksum in that sense. It provides error detection. If you make a mistake in one of those two places, you will know immediately. As opposed to single entry, where you can carry that error indefinitely until somehow you catch it.
