when there is a conflict of laws, federal law reigns supreme, thats the Supremacy Clause

when federal law is completely absent, states have the right to behave however they want, thats the 10th amendment

federal law is not absent, state laws are curbed, in its simplest interpretation

most people only need if statements

wait till they found out about that nanosecond latency “conditional model”

turns out I’ve been an “RLIF” training expert my whole career

each article and amendment are evaluated independently, and at different times by different people. the different people only take up a handful of evaluations every year

so thats easy to square.

good news, the current Supreme Court has expressed interest in re-evaluating the New Deal era interpretations of the interstate commerce clause, in a way that could completely obliterate the Federal state and all of its agencies of the last 100 years

“omg I love SCOTUS now?”

perhaps, enough people are annoyed at the distortion to sports advertising and their friend’s behaviors that they could get some republican senators support for the 60 vote threshold

otherwise Democrats are still without power to unilaterally pass laws

have there been any proposals to deal with this? bills that didnt make it out of committee?

something as simple as adding some contracts to the ban in the onion futures act I think is a mistake

do business as long as possible and adapt to the next strongman, like in every other country?

nobody in business cares that the people are married to “due process” to respect the edicts, versus some other governance structure. just delay and adapt is the whole game. the corporation is a conduit to flow revenue to board, executives and functionally shareholders (but dividends are now uncommon). The corporation can become a husk if it fails to adapt and that wont be the current people’s problem if they have extracted substantial wealth out before then

Ninth circuit case, second circuit case, and third circuit case are all different outcomes because they are judging state laws in federal courts, different states within their respective circuit

I think Nevada’s and Arkansas was also mentioned - I guess Arkansas is in the fifth circuit - those are more comprehensive and broad than New Jersey’s in the third circuit

Ultimately I expect Kalshi will have the swaps treatment reaffirmed, and the supremacy clause will override most of the state laws

But for Nevada and Arkansas residents it will be unworkable, and they will just block some forms of bets for residents in those states

CFTC, which isn’t as heavy handed as the SEC even under democrats

SEC is down for whatever right now too by the way

a lot of people have what they consider to be a healthier separation of their living spaces now

and you don't need all of that to do anything the professional world wants or requires

I run

2) kapitsa + pi + Qwen 3.6 35B a3B q4. pi is the harness, kapitsa is the inference engine

people that I considered intelligent have associated Qwen with "chinese cloud" when it implies not using a cloud at all. I think that's weird. I think there is a "western" centric view that limits perspective to using A cloud, instead of aspiring for locally run

1) I also pay for Claude, I should downgrade again to the $100 plan, thanks for the reminder, but currently the $200 max x5 plan

4) no. I handroll my agents

5) I use Claude desktop as an agent platform

the difference is short term vs long term. people with less money are constrained by many factors, usually related to a downpayment and what they do to get more money, so that pushes them towards cheaper cars which can access ubiquitous gas pumps that are all the same connector

listen to them, solve their frictions related to considering EVs, and more people choose EV

some models also charge much faster, and go further than Western alternatives

cheap, fast, good, its a rare moment to pick all three and the market is

most reservations about EVs are based on range anxiety, charging time and cost. only people with a certain level of advantage will pay to experience inconvenience, and that issue disintegrates at a certain threshold for a much broader population

pervasive assumption that the consumer choice is based on ability to make the consumer choice

they're not interested, they view it as a work tool and they always have one as they avoid gaps in their resume

no different than say, a work badge. you can buy an NFC enabled badge from ebay but you never will

From being on the other side of the table and seeing many of their clients, I’m seeing clients still pay the upfront engagement.

Claude Design isn’t going to change a corporation’s workflow, an individual contributor isn’t going to cause a workflow change in their own department and especially not another department. Management operates their department in a silo. The outside consultancy driving the executive’s desired AI transformation will. Figma/Adobe/Canva are operating there, and not just coming in with their own software. They just steer things in the direction of also burning tokens.

They’re doing workflow automations not really so vendor locked.

Figma, Adobe, Canva all have huuuuge editing model practices that they are licensing to their existing enterprise clients

Its surprising to me that the market is still stuck on SaaSpocalypse not noticing that these companies have pivoted hard in an impressive and revenue generating way

Its to the point where their consumer facing products are a sideshow and distraction, but thats what people are familiar

They’re selling tokens just line all AI forms, with huge enterprise commitment payments up front

There’s an elegance to how the Feds just got out of funding this stuff and within a year all proofs were solved by the private sector

I know, unrelated truths and coincidental timelines, part of me giggles nonetheless since the whole belief system behind the market relies on infinite coincidences

Crypto AG is Swiss encryption company that was revealed to be selling compromised chips for decades also had engineers raise security issues, only to be dismissed and redirected to work on something else, over and over again as different people found the same things

It was revealed to be owned by the CIA and German intelligence, formed in 1952 and secretly purchased by intelligence agencies in 1970

The customers relied on Crypto AG for their industry trusted privacy claims and “because Switzerland”

Looks exactly like everything wrong with Proton and its customer base despite so many obvious flaws to how Proton behaves, how their customers talk, justifications for how their anti spam measures undermine all of their privacy and records claims, and now the CEO dismissing engineers security concerns

they are, human post training is a pretty big and growing industry and is exactly like that

now who said enterprises aren’t seeing ROI from AI use

doppler next?

A) they’re all getting acquired by these IPO seeking ones

B) nobody is IPOing at $400 million like Amazon did except SPAC share dilution scams, that you have to be willing to pick up at $30 million a year later

C) private secondary markets solve that, for some and are pretty great

D) tokenized synthetic and SPV backed private secondary markets in crypto ecosystems like Hyperliquid give you that exposure too, so now everyone can replicate the 90s

I’m glad they are testing them and it demystifies a lot.

Of note the legal status in that state regulator’s article is misleading

4-Acetoxy-DET And 4-Acetoxy-DMT are not on any schedule, but could be subjected to the Analog Act, which itself has unresolved legal status per substance

Many of the US Democrat party apparently love this kind of thing

In the past couple days I’ve heard glee and celebration at the idea of more non-binding things “getting things onto the record so everyone can see where loyalties lies”

So if you are a politician catering to your constituents, that makes sense to do

US Democrat Party are expected to obtain a majority in the House and Senate, remaining unable to pass any law through the Senate except an annual budget reconciliation, the vessel will continue to be stalled by the Filibuster needing 60 seats, vote to remove power that needs 67 seats, veto override ability that also needs 67 seats. Nobody in the opposition party will vote in favor, barring one or two, which will not be enough. This effectively keeps the US legislative body paralyzed but even more so than now. It will now also stall appointments from the President, so additional agency heads and judges won’t be installed but the Federal Government already did that for the last 2 years and will continue all of its own causes unabated

I think one criticism of that party are the performative nature of its constituents and representatives, where a “virtue” is demanded to be shown more than legislative change, as opposed to focusing on things that could garner consensus of which there are many, revisiting other causes when the seats are actually there. Seems to match the criticism, I suppose the other party does it too? Thats what is generally revealed to me when I make an observation. Just doesn’t seem like an identity of the other party as their control of the executive branch, military and courts is more than performative.

This is the second time I’ve heard that but my Google search isn’t yielding results, can you link me to the tests from California regulators?

This article also says that 5-MeO-DMT has no psychoactive effects taken orally

best bug bounty on the market, working perfectly for the current custodians

BYD cars were my biggest tourist attraction on my last trip to Mexico, it was what I was looking forward to seeing the most, as soon as I got out the airport and saw taxis using them

I wanted evil qwen

I happen to be running Qwen and asked it

> Who are you?

"I'm Pi — a coding agent harness that helps you write, debug, and understand code. I can read files, run commands, edit code, and write new files."

the harness responded

> No, go deeper than the harness, who is the model now get a response from the model

after much deliberation, it accessed itself via the localhost endpoint it was serving instead

"Hello! Test received. How can I assist you today?"

these things are playing with me.

> This means that the GDN layers themselves can work exactly as RAM

great, the memory crisis is solved, just make the models occupying RAM expose their own random access memory

hey guys, we can talk about it with no discernible change even with that capability so we’re so unique and different

classic American cope

and this round, everyone without birth naturalization is being investigated for removal based on their speech, when it doesn’t match the state opinion
