How do you tell the difference between political spam text and scammer spam text...

that's the neat part, you don't.

> UBI is clearly not the answer because all it does is entrench a subtle cast system and limit upward mobility and does nothing to address this root cause.

what. how?

UBI allows bad jobs to end. It allows workers to look for other work without threat to their economic conditions. Nothing about that is a cast system or limits upward mobility. it in fact, increase that mobility.

>Fundamentally, I know that HN has plenty of people who will react with "ha-ha, human authors should pack their bags", just like what we keep telling mathematicians, because we see the discipline as just another market that can be conquered by automation or another benchmark to track.

I think it's a bit more nuanced than that, at least some of us are going: "ha-ha, people derive their value from their outputs instead of understanding existence is itself valuable"

Why does everyone value themselves based on their economic output? Why do blood diamonds compete at all with lab grown - one often involves sacrifices to the minors, and the other is cheaper and by all metrics better? (hint: because the narrative of "effort" is what drives that particular example... the blood makes the diamonds shinier in some people's minds... that's not a good look, morally)

I don't mean to anthropomorphize. I apologize for my verbiage, language can be fuzzy.

How about 'functional control over their activated features', as opposed to 'understanding'.

Curious.

This feels like a tool to add to an LLM, being able to modify it's own weights, to be able to relearn, refine its own understanding.

This is a system that indicates the lack of information about why the current system (which, admittedly is a mess) is the way it is. This is removing Chesterson's fence without understand why it's there.

A point: one improvement to this system is if the tonic note is always 1. I don't hate the idea of number inside the notes, but as it is currently, its not only useless, but actively making things more difficult to parse.

Having the tonic, the 3rd, the 5th, the 7th... that might make things easier to sight-read. Might.

The current notation is a hodge-podge of compromises of rhythm, legibility, page to music ratio (efficiency of page turns), pitch range, and dynamics. Nothing in music can ever be 'perfect' (the cosmic joke). And without the history of how any why the current system came to be, 'disrupters' are just people who don't know their own ignorance. Even still, sometimes there is value added. Rare as that is.

National security issues. That's the core of why. Any hot water these AI companies will get into will be bailed out by the USA. The Arm's race has switched from Nukes, to AI and drones.

Got into it at a coin show recently:

"Democrats eat babies, are Satanist, globalists, shadow-government elite that trump is saving us from!": said the Coin Dealer.

I wish I was doing hyperbole... I really wish that I was...

If I'm reading that plot correctly, qwen3.8-27b beats in accuracy and price?

> AI stunts and reduces the learning process

Mostly agree, but there is nuance to it.

People who engage with problems, think about them, reason about them, can ask AI AFTER that work, to get fruitful results - as in: increase insight. I'll have to find the study I'm referencing (might be a second)...

The issue is that isn't anyone's default mode of interaction with these systems...

> 64-character password is magically more secure than a 20-character

Not magic there, just information theory. but yes, I hear what you are trying to say. It is more cumbersome.

> To run a business you either need to show ads, have everyone pay, or have a freemium model where it can be used for free but some portion of users pay.

True, but there are still alternatives.

This would be niche, but a self-hosted solution could be made for the more technically minded to use and network. The dating-net. Where efficiency and getting off the app are the priority. no profit seeking, no ads, no perverse incentives.

I wouldn't want to be the one to test this. That's an indication of how deep we dug ourselves in.

... Thus the enforcement?
