You don't want the military policing you bro

I’ll explain by example: If police were military they could be “deployed” to areas of the country that they are not from. By shuffling officers periodically you could prevent the formation of cliques within the force at a local level. In Mississippi for example there is a lot of corruption and racism in the force, likely to a greater degree than what you would find in LA. And they answer to absolutely no one. Recently a mass grave of unnamed people was found behind a police station in Mississippi: https://peoplesdispatch.org/2024/01/18/a-mass-grave-of-hundr...

For the reasons outlined above I would prefer police to be part of the military. Then maybe you would have some type of accountability. This southern cop behavior is the type of thing Blackwater got up to in Iraq. Non-military people who pretend like they’re the real deal without being beholden to a command structure are all but guaranteed to go rogue.


There will probably be different problems like cops not being familiar with the community they are policing but yeah I think it would be a huge improvement to have all cops come under a federal umbrella. Local corruption is absolutely insane with police in the US.

TLDR; we need more research into game theory

I totally agree; it all boils down to math. Linear algebra formed the foundation of a lot of what we have achieved today, including computer simulations and AI, but now society is demanding problems that aren't based in linear algebra but in game theory, as the author describes. So we need to study game theory, that's what the next period of accelerated advancement will be based on


No, that's called steering and it would be perfectly fine. But apple doesn't allow that, and that's what the EU's major complaint is about. So the worst case is that you have no competition, which is the definition of anticompetitive

What your describing is accomplished by standards, not monopolies. Monopolies can create standards but that's a horrible trade-off for society.

HTML is a standard, not a monopoly


Smart people realized that you can operate in antisocial manner and benefit at the cost of others by creating a monopoly?

Do you also think drug peddlers are smart for entering an under supplied market?


The problems you point out seem valid, but are you sure they are directly relevant to the core issue this AI is solving? That skilled data entry is critical to medical operations and is very effort intensive.

I feel like doctor incentivization and silicon valley's predatory corporate culture aside, this problem does need to be solved if we want to avoid wasting doctors' precious work-hours

Your comment presupposes that time spent on data entry is a waste. Relevant, cogent notes written by a human are infinitely better than whatever the rent-seeking intermediary between the physician and OpenAI shits out. The problem is not technical in nature; it's a misalignment of incentives.

The solution is to pay physicians for time they spend charting, and then the time is no longer "wasted".


Your point about a TPM PIN being more secure than a password doesn't make sense. Both are passwords. If you're assuming the user stored their PIN safely, then you can also assume they would store their password safely.

Your broader point is fair though. Because this explout is nullified by a built-in TPM (already here) or the lanes being end to end encrypted (ship has sailed)


One is a password, the other is an unlock phrase for a securely generated key. Password based keys need to go through PKDFs and have limited entropy.

A "PIN" in the TPM sense is alphanumeric and will be entered the same way the user enters a passphrase, except the secret that actually protects the disk isn't derived from that passphrase.

It's much harder to brute force a TPM PIN than it is to brute force your average PKDF function. The brute force complexity grows to encompass the full key space rather than the key space of a key derived from memorable alphanumeric text. With a proper passphrase this probably won't matter much in terms of feasibility, but a lot of users pick terrible passwords that are easy to brute force with a whole bunch of servers, while with a TPM chip an attacker would need to choose another method (i.e. attacking the TPM itself).


Security in depth.

TPM+PIN prevents taking/imaging the drive and trying an offline attack.

And TPM is rate-limited, another security in depth feature.


I think they mean a Windows password. You enter it after the disk is already decrypted.


I don't think your arguing in good faith. I dont like to throw around the word "shill" but it gets hard sometimes.

Assuming you are just misunderstanding. The comment about iCloud email is talking about interoperability. Where someone with a gmail account should be able to send an email to someone with iCloud account. And vice versa.

The argument is that it is not OK to prevent this sort of interoperability, and requiring this does not mean you have serve the users of other services with servers and hosting, you just have to allow WhatsApp to send messages to imessage and vice versa. Just like email


It sounds like you prefer something that's more sensational simply because it's more sensational


This is cool. Combining the planning from the RL model with the NLP knowledge engine is really good.

Now the next thing is to come up with a way to generalize the planning engine to the level the LLM is generalized. So it could learn plan for anything like a human can, instead of just one game and its rules. That would be the next huge leap
