<p>"A lot of creative work is remixes" in no way conflicts with "That's pretty low-value creativity."<p>Hiphop made using samples a <i>fashion</i>. You can think of it as choosing to restrict one's in order to explore something deeper, like a painter deciding to paint with only two pigments to exercise their skills at shading at patterning. Or you can think of it as a cheap way to make demo tracks in your bedroom.<p>If you want to find actually creative things, look outside of mainstream, Disney, etc.<p>I'll leave you with this link.

<p>This is why I'm more interested in the kinds of formal methods that integrate with the actual program source code.<p>A couple of examples, in a rough order of approachability by a working programmer:<p><a href="https://github.com/model-checking/kani" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/model-checking/kani</a><p><a href="https://github.com/flux-rs/flux" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/flux-rs/flux</a><p><a href="https://github.com/viperproject/prusti-dev" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/viperproject/prusti-dev</a><p><a href="https://creusot.rs/" rel="nofollow">https://creusot.rs/</a><p>I really wish one of these projects overcomes its academic origins and becomes a software development tool. Kani is closest to that pragmatism, but correspondingly its theory side is not quite as powerful -- though it's been getting new features that make real code easier to deal with, earlier when I played with it it could only reason about very simple functions. Flux also looked surprisingly approachable, but I haven't used it in anger yet.<p>There's hope that Rust will include language-level conventions for expressing contracts that <i>all</i> these tools can then take advantage of, because e.g. a `verus! {}` macro wrapping everything was never gonna be a viable way forward, and hopefully this will also gives us a syntax that looks like programming not math (I'm looking at you, Creusot): <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/128044" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/128044</a></p>

<p>Also, people seem to not realize that chaos can be 100% deterministic. Consider Mandelbrot or Conway's Game of Life.<p>The LLM inference process can be 100% deterministic but the weights can still make the end result quite chaotic. Just because temperature>0 improves results doesn't mean its an innate part of the mechanism. Just because scale-out architectures introduce jitter in communication doesn't mean that's an innate part of the mechanism.</p>

<p>That sounds like a voluntary action they can decide to do, not something the state of New York is telling them to do. As far as I can tell, all they're being asked is to not break New York laws within New York. It's unfortunate if that was the whole extent of their business.<p>If a state decided to make trampolines illegal (sale, use and manufacture), it would suck to own a trampoline factory in that state. That's still not a nationwide ban.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidd_v._Pearson" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidd_v._Pearson</a></p>

<p>As far as I can read it, no such attempt has been made. New York is saying certain things are illegal in New York. It seems New York is not attempting to have any say over what Kalshi does outside of New York, when it does not involve New York residents.<p>Yes, it's mighty inconvenient to have an office in a state that thinks your business activity is illegal. Maybe don't do that.</p>
