You are not the only victim as a drug user (unless you are a loner), people around you are impacted, you are not your best self when you are intoxicated.
Distribution certainly impacts more than one person and heavy handed punishment is the best way to deter it.
Possession is voting for distribution and while not as destructive as the scalability of high profit margin black market businesses.
Should individuals have the freedom to vote for something that harms other individuals and society as a whole?
You are really pushing the definition of "victim" by claiming that being in the same space as someone who "isn't their best self" is something that deserves government intervention...
I think they are actually (intentionally) pushing the definition of "isn't their best self", where "not best self" may means things like "yells racial slurs", "stabs stranger" (etc), "shoots random people", etc.
Yeah all those life sentences for meth, heroin and cocaine distribution have really done a number on our drug problem!!!! /s
Our country's drug use continues to go up despite having the most draconian punishments for drug dealing of western nations. Perhaps the problem has zero to do with punishment and is moreso a reflection of our very unhealthy society, physically and mentally.. just a though.
Don't worry the reddit and HN experts (morons) calling for public executions for drug dealers will get their way eventually and we will finally have our drug free Utopia!!!!
I think about this a lot. It seems obvious to me that drug abuse (and a lot of crime in general) is only a proximate problem (right term?), in that it’s just a symptom of something else, and so a punitive solution isn’t going to do a whole hell of a lot even if it worked well (which I also believe it is obvious that it does not).
When I look at the large portion of society - shit, humanity - that believes punishment is the fix, I have to think that they are either stupid or dishonest. Or that I am not right. Are these folks just smarter than me, and realize that the N-th order solutions - like ensuring humans have their basic needs met - are too expensive or otherwise impossible and we should pretend that incarceration (which isnt just cheap in the US - it’s a money maker) is the way forward?
There is a chain of violence that goes back from most street drugs. There is no victimless usage of drugs - you are directly damaging a lot of the US and almost all of Latin America at this point.
While you did qualify “street drugs” in sentence #1, you didn’t in #2, and so I have to disagree that the stinky plants in my garden are damaging to anyone :)
Not just that, but it basically makes the library incompatible with serverside rendering a la Next.js. We actually explored using Shoelace for a project but ended up having to choose something else instead because of this.
True, it completely relies on client side rendering, and it's impossible to render it server side. With disabled Javascript it doesn't show anything at all.
I would really like to use it, but using it feels like limiting your options much more than necessary. Even the CSS-in-JS based libraries (like React MUI) allow SSR to some extent.
We settled on Chakra (https://chakra-ui.com/). Although we also abandoned our ambitions of a Next.js migration, so... I guess it didn't really end up mattering all that much anyway.
The idea is that you encode and decode database IDs with this. You wouldn't save them separately unless you were using it for a purpose other than shareable "identifiers" which don't leak significant amounts of database state. Imagine something like a link shortener where you want to provide a short link to users, but don't want it to just be a number.
To perhaps stir the "what do words really mean" argument, "lying" would generally imply some sort of conscious intent to bend or break the truth. A language model is not consciously making decisions about what to say, it is statistically choosing words which probabilistically sound "good" together.
>A language model is not consciously making decisions about what to say
Well, that is being doubted -- and by some of the biggest names in the field.
Namely that it isn't "statistically choosing words which probabilistically sound good together". But that doing so is not already making a consciousness (even if basic) emerge.
>it is statistically choosing words which probabilistically sound "good" together.
That when we do speak (or lie), we do something much more nuanced, and not just do a higher level equivalent of the same thing, plus have the emergent illusion of consciousness, is also an idea thrown around.
"Well, that is being doubted -- and by some of the biggest names in the field."
An appeal to authority is still a fallacy. We don't even have a way of proving if a person is experiencing consciousness, why would anyone expect we could agree if a machine is.
It's really not "clear cut." By the definition which you agree with, an HTML file containing JavaScript is served to the client without modification, and is viewable in any modern browser with a functioning JavaScript engine. The "web application" in reference is a server-sided application which controls and renders the content, as can be assumed based on context from the rest of that page. Namely:
> Any personalization or interactivity has to run client-side, which is restricting.
Flashback functionality without a functional CPU generally is accomplished using a separate microcontroller on the board which runs its own code separate from the BIOS. It shouldn't need any of the original BIOS code in-tact, since there's nothing to execute it anyway if there's no CPU installed. :)
It would be smart to implement it as seperate chip, so it can work even with an empty SPI flash. Would also explain why it's only available on some motherboards.
But it wouldn't entirely surprise me if they managed to implement it as pure software inside an extra microcontroller core inside the chipset (or another chip). There are dozens of microcontrollers cores spread out over the various chips on the motherboard which might be abused for such purposes.
