Actually, things are heading in a good direction re:AI bloopers.

Courts of law have already found that AI interactions with customers are binding, even if said interactions are considered "bloopers" by the vendor[1]

your dream is coming true - most SMBs are quickly moving to have LLMs as their Level 1 support anyway. Makes sense unf, too many people fail at writing the proper ticket.

I wonder when we will see a timeless classic like this on HN, but for AI.

We can then poke some fun at what AI did, what went wrong, and our incredibly illogical "debug" of AI


AI bots on dead internet will bring them up and have an earnest metallic laughter together.

I installed Windows Update Blocker (AKA "WUB") and i've stopped the nonsense shutdowns late at night.

That helped stopping the aggravation, but lets see how long I last. I do feel my next computer will be a Linux OS ... but i'm not a programmer and I wince at having to do all the wine installs fresh...


The vast majority of countries have barriers preventing our highly efficient production from selling in their countries. Think Argentina and meats, Switzerland and all things cattle, EU and pretty much everything.

Tariffs were one way to pry open those markets, but of course, the few agricultural products that were already selling , were affected in the retailiation . It will take some time for things to sort out.


Not surprisingly most countries want to be self sufficient with food production, so tarifs on food imports makes sense.

Unfortunately though I don't think US tarifs are the solution here. Leaving aside that antagonizing the end-consumer seems unproductive (eg canada) there's also a perception in Europe that US food products (especially meat) are of low quality.

Whether that perception US true or not US immaterial. (My own visits to the US and experience of US food would suggest the US optimizes for quantity not quality, but anecdotes are not data.)

Much of the barrier with exporting beef are the higher food standards, and documentation, required in Europe. Lowering the standards doesn't seem to be politically acceptable either.


I'm used to it by now.

Click on the meeting, where you will land on a download landpage. Then click the big download blue button in the center of the screen. WHen you click it a link will appear in the 2nd row below the blue button, something like "continue from browser", click on that, and you are golden


every once in a while, someone will ask me to screenshare on a shared monitor, then i will have to explain i cannot , because i am on zoom browser.

Its always great to see the reactions that gathers. Its a true rainbow: bemusement, curiosity, exasperation, outright suspicion...and everything in between!


It works just fine? At least on Linux wayland it works in both firefox and chromium

is that the time it would require to complete 1 revolution, shown specifically in figure 1 of the article ?

Also - wouldn't the north star(s) (polaris, deneb etc) also move, even if slightly, in that period of time as well ?


This didn't happen in a vaccum.

The tobacco companies like RJR, packed with scientiests researching how to make cigarrettes more addictive, were trojaned into mass food companies like Nabisco [1]

It should not be a surprise that there's been a relentless pursuit of addictive food ever since.

This is the Ron Paul position and its a solid one.

The non-intervention principle applies if you are not actively suffering intervention.

The flaw however, is that applying non-intervention in this instance, is choosing to ignore the real, direct hurt currently endured by non-actors (LATAM + US citizens) from the policies of Maduro.

I do concede that whatever follows Maduro, may be worse.

If I'm getting poked by a neighbor for years and i finally punch back, punching is a valid response. If the neighbor then comes back later and shoots me with a gun, it doesn't mean that my self-defense act was invalid.


Invading and kidnapping the leader of a sovreign nation sounds rather illegal to me.


Is it really illegal is nobody has the power to apply that designation?


Absolutely. I declare it so.


There's no such thing as a sovereign dictatorship, that's a contradiction in terms.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign

> The roles of a sovereign vary from monarch, ruler or head of state to head of municipal government or head of a chivalric order. As a result, the word sovereignty has more recently also come to mean independence or autonomy.


It isn't necessarily just a non-interventionist stance. Someone could be taking this position in this situation because they're highly skeptical that the Americans involved in this have the ability or desire to proceed in a way that will result in a minimum of casualities or in a way that will bring about real democractic change to the region.

People want an Eisenhower doing these kinds of things, not whoever is doing currently doing it.


And look what happened when Eisenhower did it in Iran.

Why would people who don't want Trump doing it want an Eisenhower doing it? He helped overthrow democratically elected Árbenz in Guatemala with even weaker justifications than Trump overthrowing Maduro (Maduro at least seems to lack popular support and probably cheated in elections).

Eisenhower:

Overthrow of Árbenz to protect fruit company profits > series of military dictators > 30+ years of civil war where the US-backed government committed a genocide against Maya people


I've met Ron Paul.

You, sir, are no Ron Paul.


That way lies madness.


If anyone else is like me and unfamiliar with Ron Paul’s views, they are listed in his wiki.

He sounds insufferable.
