“To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves.” — C. A. Helvetius

Almost everything you are hearing in mainstream news about the supposed lack of popularity of progressive policies on police and prisons is a lie. Shifting resources from police/punishment to social services is one of the most consistently popular policies polled for 40 years.

this is true. there's a kind of cycle in US politics, a pendulum swing. except by quick degrees the pendulum swings mostly rightward.
we are seeing now some grass-roots reaction to utter corruption & stagnation of the status quo, a swelling "leftward"/ "socialist" moving of the needle; but given the obdurate conservatism of the US, a massive beast like brontosaurus with a wee little head, it is not realistic to hope for anything profound to come from this.

(hoping I am mistaken.)

Announcing Discovery Loop!

I am very excited to announce that, along with my longtime friends and collaborators @Sanjay_Ghemawat, @OriolVinyalsML and @quocleix, we are founding Discovery Loop (@DiscoLoopAI), a Public Benefit Corporation whose mission is to automate machine learning, science, and engineering to accelerate discoveries and progress. The four of us have worked together for 14 to 30 years, and have helped build some of the world’s most used products, infrastructure and AI models, and we’re excited to turn our attention to this ambitious endeavor.

USG "Hey China, can you submit your open models for testing before release?"

China "Oh, go right ahead. It's available online for anyone to test"

USG "...No I mean like submit it to us before releasing it online"

China "Like I said, it's available online. Do you not know how to download open models?

USG "Of course we do, but before publicly making it available for everyone we want you to submit it to us exclusively for safety testing"

China "Oh, oh I see. No."

USG "...If you don't cooperate we may have to restrict access to your models"

China "How?"

USG "By forbidding our enterprises from using them"

China "OK, force them to pay for expensive tokens. I don't care. Nice talking to you"

---

Staff "Sir China won't cooperate"

President "Xi is a tough cookie"

Staff "Sir, if we don't safety test Chinese open models, but safety test the domestic open source, we will be giving China an unfair advantage"

President "Fine, just safety test the closed ones. They're the ones begging for it"

“To protect a little rodent” I can’t even voice my rage right now. They are going to kill innocent animals and destroy their environment. They’re going to destroy sacred land and national parks that have been protected for decades. All these people do is destroy. Something has to be done to protect these animals and land. Someone needs to do something.

Tangentially: the only reason OP is able to "stop looking at assembly" is because a bunch of other people still do. There are compiler codegen bugs constantly, but OP never knows about them because other people who do read ASM find, report and/or fix them before they cause too many downstream problems.

Another way to say this is that the "compiler" does not "get it right". A ton of people, constantly reading the ASM that the compiler outputs, work together to "get it right".... eventually :)

So the proper way to look at this is, if you've stopped reading ASM, that's not because codegen was solved, but rather that you have implicitly decided to outsource to other people the problem of keeping codegen working reliably.

Two top Republicans, both originally pro-Trump, confirm the US attacked Spain using Morocco as a proxy.

US paid Morocco at least $40M two weeks before the Ceuta breach. People were reportedly lured into participating through social media, while the breach was amplified as a "migrant invasion" online by US, Israeli and Russian disinformation and disruption networks, and compromised media networks and politicians on right wing legacy media.

Police departments and sheriffs are now adopting formal policies that officers should not mention ALPR usage to vehicle occupants, or even put it in their reports.
