The desire to subsidize employment for Democratic constituencies by threatening legal action if they aren't given enough jobs.

Europeans who fetishize "compliance".

residents of the universe who recognize the US as a supply-chain risk.

no, actually, from the docs it sounds mainly motivated by the country's unique linguistic requirements.


It's to stop the eunuchs from murdering you.


I like to joke that if you look at every Feng Shui rule through the lens of "to reduce the risk of assassination" it all really makes sense.

Maybe it's not so much of a joke....


A WASP ethical framework cannot survive either the extirpation of WASPs from the student body or the transformation of the education system into a high stakes mandarin style death struggle.


Sorry, can you state your hypothesis clearly here? You are saying Princeton would not need to make this change if it admitted only white Anglo-Saxon Protestants?


This class form of racism always gets a chuckle out of me. Want to trade skull calipers?


He's wrong, but it's not because he's being racist


A "WASP ethical framework" is barely a thing, if at all. The Princeton founders were motivated by moral obligations derived from a particular subset of Protestant Christianity. They were dissenters from the Anglican establishment, so it feels weird to try to bunch them in under the "WASP" umbrella. I have no idea if people who wrote the honor code were Calvinists too, but that was the seed ideology. It's not something that generic "WASP culture" gets to claim absent from the foundational theology. I'd wager that most WASPs at Princeton today do not share genuine belief in those foundations, if they don't cheat it's only because of social pressure, which tends not to hold up as well under pressure.


WASPs in this day and age are no more immune to "high stakes mandarin style death struggles".


The word "or" grammatically indicates such a combination of conditions.


The style of writing and the inclusion of the word "mandarin" made me assume that you were implying WASPs were not participating in the "high stakes struggles". You still have not explicitly stated your view one way or the other. As you can see from the other comments, almost everyone read an undercurrent of xenophobia in your post. I sense you're a skilled interlocutor- I concede I fell into your trap.


You are aware that Stewart Alsop was writing about the death of WASP elites in 1970 or so. Does that mean you think Princeton exploded in cheating in 1971?


What?


Azure webapp deploys are also trash right now. Microsoft needs to stop slathering h1b copilot slop and get basic things like Windows patches working.


There is a legal distinction between document retention, which is what OpenAI was ordered to do, versus re architecting to generate documents for logless providers.


OpenAI were already logging all the chats, it's just that if the end-user decided to delete their chat history - they would respect that at the time and also delete it server side (apparently). The court order mandated them keep the chat content even if the end-user wanted it deleted.

They were required to change the way their systems worked, to no longer respect a user's chat deletion request. That means a non-chat-logging company can of course be forced to change the way their system works, to instead log chats.

In the same way Apple can not only be forced to hand over back-doored access to UK users iCloud data (when Apple also hold a copy of the keys), they can also be forced to change the way their OS works to prevent the scenario where Apple don't hold the keys (preventing Advanced Data Protection from being enabled). The USA could force the same thing via the CLOUD Act.


"You have to make a change either way" is not the standard. Of course legislation can be passed or a settlement signed that mandates whatever, but there is well established civil procedure around document retention in the context of discovery for ongoing litigation that does not extend to demands to start generating business records that are not currently created.


strongwall.ai is logless and supports anonymous payments including physical cash.


This sounded pretty good, a ~mullvad for LLM. Then:

> Strongwall.ai is led by Andrew Northwall, CEO and Bryce Nyeggen, CTO. Andrew has 20+ years in tech, former COO of Trump Media & Technology Group, architect behind the relaunch of Parler, and senior technologist for large-scale infrastructure and AI systems.


They're "tobacco products" in the same sense that Diet Coke is a "cocaine product".


Ok, nicotine products. Still addictive junk, way harder to quit than any other nicotine product.


Or more literally in the sense that cocaine is a narcotic. This is the legal category, not the medical one.


Or, their customers integrate with them directly.


That's not exactly true. Lorentz contraction is a clear antecedent to special relativity.


It isn't an anteceent, it's part of special relativity, discovered by Lorentz. It's well known that special relativity is the work of several people as well as Einstein.
