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. 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

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

no it’s stuck there, M1 has a 720p cam with a smaller sensor thats noticeably bad in low light, and the refresh has occurred twice to 1080p with larger sensor and 12MP but cropped to 1080p for audience tracking

it has just a few models it can download, it's really qwen and apple silicon pilled

it has unsloth on the list of 3.6 35b variants only on the 2-bit unsloth UD-IQ2_XXS GGUF variant

I'd say let it down 4-bit Qwen 3.6 35b again and see what how it performs in both benchmarks and your preferred conversational and agentic harness

it's Kflash verifier is competing against MTP and Dflash2, thats where the additional novelty is

I put a lot of thought into this last decade, I find that some bills are big blocks of new text, and other bills are convoluted instructions to modify other blocks of existing law, sometimes saying "strike this word and that word" other times referencing just a subsection of another law. hyperlinks to that other law or a model of what the legal code would look like is necessary

Agentically this could be done now, but it would still just be the tip of the iceberg

You're looking at quantum states of law and regulations, and that's just for one jurisdiction

heyyy same, checkout kapitsa as the inference engine, gets 145+ tokens/sec

https://github.com/nace-ai/kapitsa

this machine just keeps getting better and better in the inference world. the memory bandwidth is too good, newer macbook pros aren't that much faster in memory bandwidth, many are slower. not enough to upgrade yet as they're mostly horizontal upgrades, the improvements in other areas are adding up like wifi bandwidth and protocol, NVMe speeds, webcam

if they do the M7 correctly: which is just everything their current models do plus way faster memory bandwidth and much greater memory possible 192GB+, then it will be a really great and timely upgrade

you can probably get the battery replaced for a better speedup

I've never seen a Modern Slavery Act statement, does that mean no 996?

> “Plot based media” you actually heard someone say this? Like it was a bad thing?

yes, and its Gen Alpha that says it. they're just young though, but they are in aggregate an independent spending powerhouse

I understand but I wouldn't dismiss how consumer choices already contribute to this

Younger people I know, and market to sometimes, literally avoid "plot based media" in favor of brainrot. Akin to what my generation used to call "sooo random"

People catering to it earn a lot. They don't identify as directors, but they are. They don't identify as artists either. They identify as influencers and brands.

You will never be the generation they engage with. I don't expect to base any of my choices in following trends looking for opportunities to be contingent on your affinity for movies and first/third person games.

Even when it comes to spending, they are a powerhouse because parents nationwide and worldwide give them their weekly allowances in platform credits, with no further accountability on how it's spent. There is a large audience already, trends that are full economies within a few months instead of needing to wait an entire 12 to 20 year generation for the audience to have independent purchasing power.

That's what is happening and why someone with even greater perception than me would say things that seem out of touch, but are closer to reality than you'd realize.

> needlessly complex and of limited benefit to anyone not already at the top

you have things of value all around you, captured value that you cannot turn into cash because of its poor liquidity and poor institutions for that asset class, you don't need to be at the top. there is a collector of old concert tickets, a collector of your digital footprint, a collector of your furniture, a collector of the junk you've been hoarding. you just can't find those people, get a fair price, avoid getting scammed, or have any remedies if you did get scammed, compared to assets that institutional banks service. And because you can't, the banks can't either and have the same issues, hence why there is no lending market or way to mitigate risk.

I didn't write in this thread to have a contrarian view, it's a system I'm aware of and am impressed by its growth.

I'm not here to sell you on it but like I wrote to the other person, it doesn't make sense for people to just want others to experience more of the pain they experience, the state is not a responsible party to have a piece of everyone's transactions. You should be asking why any of us are experiencing pain instead of ire at those who have an easier way to avoid the pain. Taxation is just one of the state's revenue models, its other methods can grow, additional methods can be employed, its spending can shrink, and right now all of its revenue is just going to pay the interest on debt it already accumulated. With that understanding I can't view proposals based on punitive hate seriously. You're proposing to give a degenerate spender more money, just because you found someone that's not paying the degenerate? And any amount you give the degenerate doesn't even pay down its debt, just the interest? And that just makes it more credit worthy to continue accumulating more debt? Not everyone needs to pay the degenerate, get in a place where you don't either.

Modern taxing authorities aren't even that old. It's hard for me to treat it as time immemorial because its not and you can influence how exposed you are to it.

it's all related

most of the violent crimes are from people with prior crimes, but the prior crimes themselves weren't necessarily violent, but just enough to marginalize that person from ability to participate in society with steady jobs

such as the possession of now-legalized substances, and the possession stop itself was based on flimsy pretexts that could have been fought, but it made more sense to take a plea-deal for that person or they were not aware of how to not engage with police and damned themselves without a lawyer present

I can see how this competes with a tax fairness idea

I think you would appreciate how this contributes to it, Bertie the Janitor should be able to use their kitchen table, furniture and objects around them as collateral too. This is the direction it’s all going as all the frictions to trade, liquidity and price discovery go away.

Regarding tax, the state is not a responsible spender with a balanced budget, its services are paid for by its bonds and the tax is one of many revenue sources to pay the interest the state owes. I’m writing that to point out that the ire is put towards the wrong participants. It doesn’t make sense to ask why we aren’t getting taken from equally, when why are we being taken from at all is also valid.

Driving one town over to pay a lower gas or sales tax is equally weighted as all other tax avoidance

Regarding the payments themselves, this strategy does involve paying the banks interest. As far as convenience goes in this article’s behavior, you’re either paying the government or you’re paying the bank. This is normal enough for me not to really have I guess the vitriol about it.

I see the different ways that people think about it, but it hasnt solved the state’s own borrowing and spending problem, and usually doesnt address that at all. They just want others to feel the same pain they feel, which doesnt make sense to me. I would be more aligned with proposals to address the state’s spending.

the financial sector is an ongoing construction project, going the direction of all items having an easy way to be valued to the minute, with the merchant and reseller having the same price instead of a wildly different one, all items then being able to be used as collateral instantly, fractionally sold as shares, and with a derivatives market on top

this project is not done, it’s not close to done, but improvements in this space have led to more people being able to access this lending market

I see that improving beyond publicly traded equity and real estate

Its not that transparent, what does a good answer look like

Gitlab should be a private company

I've been doing workflow automations for many organizations for the last two years, and here is what I see:

1. every business unit and department was neglecting a best practice due to lack of investment in their organization. it has always been that way for decades and always will be that way because it isn't economically viable for it to be any other way. the workflow automations and agents we create act as digital workers that either do that neglected part, or let the rest of the organization do that neglected part.

2. the whole company always starts the year off with a bunch of goals, and by Q3 most of them are cancelled. now less of them are cancelled.

both factors mean that anyone just looking at "worker productivity" or "did we save money" is going to get the answer of no. everything is costing you the same, or the AI itself is costing you more. whatever contract I'm working under is definitely going to cost you more, if you don't cancel all those enterprise SaaS seats we told you to cancel.

I see a path to savings, but I don't think that's necessarily the metric to focus on. you need to look at the whole corporate structure, why are you still doing certain things, because those pressures will just make the org do more things because nobody is empowered to say "wait, maybe this is dumb"

other improvements in the inference engine and harness net 1.5x+ improvements in tokens/sec, so if you're doing that on your own hardware you don't really need less tokens run, you just need any output done quickly

> if the frontier models are so good, why even sell them as your primary money maker?

there's a year old rumor around San Francisco that frontier lab employees are so expensive to poach because they trade options with unreleased models and infrastructure

it wasn't about the value derived to the company justifying these large packages. it is now. but there is also that other competing force.

He was having sex with strippers in the club's VIP, a feature that's often denied as existing, meeting more visually and sexually attractive, younger, more feminine women in that route, with a nice bankroll.

The utility of his prior lifestyle had diminished, he didn't need a dual income household and he certainly didn't want it.

He was bored of it, the university pipeline straight to running a corporate VC arm full of corporate climbers that want to prove how they fit in male dominated spaces with masculine behaviors. The representation of that was and is completely contrived - for any guy with options - and he went along with it because people told him to in the DC area, and that's who his peers were. Assortative mating that he realized was not serving him and he wasn't poor enough to need it.

I wouldn't say the conception was planned, he was just having fun with his favorite stripper, but pouring gas on himself at the gas station to mask her sent was.

Now, he retired his whole bloodline, after making a bloodline at all with his favorite stripper, giving her the dream of ponies, horses, and seemingly living happily ever after. I never followed up on his daughter being an adult now, but the privilege of pursuing dressage because of the father's successful indiscretions is fascinating.

I'll definitely aim to replicate, it looks far more appealing than upper middle class assortative mating does, with all the failure modes reappropriated as exception handling. I'll just avoid the first marriage, and refine the journey with trusts more effectively in such a wild wealth disparity and power dynamic, but also keep the divorce court ordered insider trading immunity in my back pocket.

I don’t think its a flaw I think they associated that its controversial because people want to think otherwise, but their behaviors don’t match
