the Major Questions Doctrine, the end of Chevron deference, the mandate for Article III courts from Jarkesy, have been building towards this for a while. the capstone in this program of weakening the administrative state, overturning Humphrey's Executor when Trump v. Slaughter is decided, will likely revive the Intelligible Principle Doctrine, as Justice Gorsuch has hinted. the same trend is apparent in the IEEPA tariffs case, where non-delegation got a lot of airtime.

EOs lose a lot of their punch when the Executive's delegated rulemaking and adjudication powers are returned back to their rightful owners in the other two branches.

LLM providers are free to put guardrails on their language models, the way phonebook publishers used to omit certain phone numbers - but uncensored models, like uncensored phonebooks, can be published as well.

it's remarkable to me that NixOS manages to run so well despite breaking the FHS so thoroughly. and not just in superficial ways like not calling it /bin, I mean forsaking dynamic linking (hence /var/lib and /usr/lib), keeping man pages, resources and config bundled into the same derivation as the binary sometimes, and occasionally hacking up binary blobs to rewrite rpaths.

on the other hand, there's a place for legacy distros too.

I wouldn't be surprised if some tech CEOs harbor the fantasy of becoming a progenitor of the human race.

instead, the Court contorted themselves into holding that adults have accessing content obscene to minors without furnishing their ID isn't protected speech. porn still is protected speech, but proving your age isn't protected speech. as a result, the law is content-neutral, not content-based.. somehow.

it was a low point for the Court - clear activist justices legislating morality from the bench.

this is just bananas crazy. so many lives will be ruined by false positives. the chilling effect will be like an Arctic snowstorm. and any actual groomers will find ways to disable it.

at least that's my take.

misinformation is a real and worsening problem, but censorship makes conspiracies flourish, and establishes platforms as arbiters of truth. that "truth" will shift with the political tides.

IMO we need to teach kids how to identify misinformation in school. maybe by creating fake articles, mixing them with real articles and having students track down sources and identify flaws. critical thinking lessons.
