Yes, thank you, not enough people know this. Though, it should be inferable from the name. “Copy right” to mean “I/we retain the right to make copies”. Certainly sounds like a publisher right to me.

I haven’t read that book so forgive the ignorant question here, but how am I to parse that title?

“No Rules Rules”, as in “no rules is awesome! It rules!”

Or

“No Rules Rules”, as in “the only rules are that there are no rules”.

The difference in interpretation matters because the tone is quite different.

You use it to boil water.

You can even dissolve the uranium in the water and use the same substance for both fuel and propellant and so capable of reaching far higher temperatures than those that would cause any engine to melt.

The real question is if we'll get back hole or antimatter powered steam engines before GTA 6

It's almost a meme at this point

Others have commented on why Howard should be well known if you live here.

The whole point of the United States government existing is, supposedly, for the betterment of its citizens. From time to time, its worth debating from first principles whether or not existing immigration policy - or any policy, really - actually does this. Given the unemployment rate for recent STEM grads in the US, I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask some hard questions about whether or not some of these visa schemes are actually doing good in the general sense, and not just in the specific sense of "this AI start up that's really just a ChatGPT wrapper has access to more bodies, so their runway is longer".

How would this be implemented?

It cannot, it's a weird statement by OP.

"Just don't let them hack you"

Add a required header called "insert-seahorse-emoji: " to your API, reject any request that doesn't have it.

The unspoken truth here is that there are inner and outer members of the NATO core. Estonia, I’m sorry to say, is not a country the United States would go to WWIII over. The core members of Germany, France, Poland, Italy, and possibly the Uk remain. Followed by a few others, and then there’s the rest where if Russia invaded journalists across the eastern seaboard would furiously rush to Chat GPT to find out where it is on the map.

All that aside, and regardless of your views on this administration’s posture toward NATO, Europe needs to revitalize its defense industry as there’s been a much remarked on free rider problem for a while. Robert Gates made a now infamous speech about this problem on his way out of office as secretary of defense.

Why not? There’s no right to force everyone on the internet to interact with everyone else.

> Zero control is an exaggeration—the worst lawbreakers still face justice under the current system, and that seems ok.

Doesn’t scale.

Doesn’t need to. The optimum amount of lawbreaking is non-zero. As long as we are catching the worst criminals and creating reasonable incentives to avoid crime, we are doing enough. Some amount of lawbreaking is to be expected in a free society; it’s literally the price of freedom.

> The optimum amount of lawbreaking is non-zero

This is a new idea for me. How is optimality measured here? Aggregate utility for society? What's the independent variable? Is this from the perspective of law-makers? If I was on a desert island, should I do some crime to ensure optimality?

This idea was explored recently here: https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/optimal-amount-of-fra...

This is just another form of Blackstone’s ratio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone's_ratio

The problem itself is an ancient one and you can find a number of texts that explore the idea from various angles.

This is from a policy-maker's perspective. It treats the human inclination toward fraud as an immutable force of nature (which may well be reasonable). But it seems the general idea is that policies required to achieve zero fraud would cost too much in enforcement. They would not be purely rational benefits for the organization whose policy is being written.

However from a different perspective, it's those policies that are an immutable force of nature. "Non-zero fraud is optimal" might sound like there could be a population who wasn't committing enough fraud. I haven't done any fraud this year, but I'm trying to be a good person. But that's not the Blackstone perspective. In Blackstone, the populace are thought of as reacting only to policy and basically having no autonomy.

I'm not arguing anything, but just noting how the sound-bite can be (and was) misconstrued.

I can see how you might have misunderstood. Yes, I was looking at it from the perspective of policy. Any policy designed to reduce crime is going to create some hardship for the innocent, and the question is how much enforcement-driven hardship is the public willing to tolerate in order to reduce crime-driven hardship. In a business context (as in the first article) your customers are not obliged to do business with you; in a democracy they are not obliged to vote for you.

In the West we are typically less tolerant of enforcement-driven hardship. This goes back to our Enlightenment ideals about freedom and justice, which are less strong than they once were but are still present.

Why can't we just build reactors. Solar requires a ton of physical acreage (sorry, it's just true), plus all the battery storage and transmission and so on. Of course this requires some byzantine "environmental review" (ironic). I just want us to build reactors. We are going to look back on the 20th century anti-nuclear crusade with such disdain, it's really really sad.

ctrl + f for "immigration" returns nothing.

Not serious, not worth reading.

This is a horn that must be harped on, frequently and loudly.

Anyone with anxieties over immigration should have those same concerns over AI, many times over.

Skilled immigrants just got a $100,000/year head tax in the US. Where is such a tax for AI?
