These were absolutely incredible when they first opened up right on until covid. The blue-apron style meal kits they had were actually really tasty and the gimmicky integration with Alexa to tell you the next step in the recipe was actually kind of useful when you were busy stirring a pot or cutting something and too busy to pull out the recipe card. It was like a 7-Eleven, but with the prices of a normal grocery store and higher quality prepared food. Not needing to deal with checkout felt freeing. I substituted many grocery store runs with a quick walk over to the original Amazon Go back in the day.

After covid, it was never the same. Open for shorter windows, closed on Sundays, reduced selection, no more meal kits etc.

I had many friends who worked on Amazon Go, so it's a bit sad to see that work come to an end.

I got really excited when I saw that you were releasing your model.

> Today we're releasing our new model* - Lemon Slice 2, a 20B-parameter diffusion transformer that generates infinite-length video at 20fps on a single GPU - and opening up our API.

But after digging around for a while, searching for a huggingface link, I’m guessing this was just a unfortunate turn of phrase, and you are not in fact, releasing an open weights model that people can run themselves?

Oh well, this looks very cool regardless and congratulations on the release.

From a sort of naive perspective it doesn't matter whether it's police or not. If you kill someone illegally, you should be held accountable for it. In many cases, whether it's illegal depends on how reasonable it was to do so. This is where it being law enforcement starts to matter even more.

Law enforcement face a lot of violent resistance, so it can be very reasonable for them to see an uncooperative person as a serious threat to their life. If they kill someone, because they believe them to be a lethal threat even if that was not the reality, their perspective absolutely matters to the outcome.

Civil disobedience is basically understood to be breaking the law in a civil manner. What I'm seeing in a lot of videos is not civil disobedience. One expected attribute of civil disobedience is non-evasion, but resisting arrest is essentially attempted evasion.

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/civil-disobedience/

Again, I don't think anyone should have died, but to my eye I can tell the people who are unreasonable and lacking in critical thinking, because they have already prejudged and sentenced people as if they've already sat through the entire court case and had their own hands on the gavel as it went down.

Social media, videos, news, activists and more are incentivized to rile people up. Let it be investigated.

Maybe not in the most recent case with the border patrol. Aside from their bad gear and bad communication the agent that cleared the Sig said "Muffled word Gun" and the guys holding the known agitator down clearly misunderstood that as "Gun!" so they repeated it and the agent in cover position fired. I'm sure it did not help that all these guys could hear is blaring loud whistles which is why I would personally hold the protestors partially responsible. I know I will catch flak for those observations but I stand by them as I am neither left nor right and these observations are just obvious. As an insufferable principal armchair commander I would also add that these incidents are primarily occurring in sanctuary cities where antifa community organizers are escalating non stop in hopes that someone dies and they can use it as political fodder later on and in hopes they can radicalize people. Just my opinion but I think it is going to backfire. The normies can see what is going on.

Source?

>As for the nine digit zip, I don't think they validate it.

Why collect it then? Imagine having a service promising "lets people use phones without revealing identity" but for whatever reason asks for a bunch of info, then brushes it aside with "yeah but you can fill in fake information so it's fine".

>Your anti-privacy agenda is crystal clear.

Your inability to take any criticism without resorting to personal attacks is crystal clear.

But you're wrong. The memo says they can use an administrative warrant - which is to say, a warrant signed by an immigration official, part of the executive branch - to enter a house and arrest someone. The executive branch is authorizing an executive branch official to enter a home, bypassing the judicial branch.

The CRUCIAL thing to note is that ICE gets stuff wrong. Their info is often stale or flat wrong - so even though they say "this is only for illegal immigrants, don't worry about it ;)", it can ABSOLUTELY affect citizens.

Note also that, since it's ICE and immigration officials (again: all executive branch) making these determinations, the executive is also deciding whether there's probable cause to think that an illegal immigrant is in a particular house. This damage to due process is ostensibly only aimed at immigrants, but it affects all of us.

I've got a similar setup (VM on unraid). For me it's only doing a few light tasks, but I have only had it running for ~48hrs. I dont do any of the calendar/inbox stuff and wouldnt trust it to have access to my personal inbox or my own files.

- Sends me a morning email containing the headlines of the news sources I tend to check

- Has access to a shared dir on my nas where it can read/write files to give to me. I'm using this to get it to do markdown based writing plans (not full articles, just planning structures of documents and providing notes on things to cover)

- Has a cron that runs overnight to log into a free ahrefs account in a browser and check for changes to keywords and my competitor monitoring (so if a competitor publishes a new article, it lets me know about it)

- Finds posts I should probably respond to on Twitter and Bluesky when people mention a my brand, or a topic relating to it that would be potentially relevant to be to jump into (I do not get it to post for me).

That's it so far and to be honest is probably all I'll use it for. Like I say, wouldn't trust it with access to my own accounts.

People are also ignoring the running costs. It's not cheap. You can very quickly eat through $200+ of credits with it in a couple of hours if you get something wrong.

It depends what rules you're using, but there are the three-fold repetition and 50-move rules which allow a player to force the game to end in a draw. The catch is they both require one of the players to claim a draw under the rule, otherwise they can keep playing.

There is additionally the 75-move rule where the the game is forced to be over without either player claiming the rule (the arbiter just ends the game), that rule would give an upper bound regardless of the players knowledge of the rules.

No. We simply engage in cost-benefit analysis, because we have limited resources.

Entirely wiping out an enemy population can be incredibly risky as they'll try to also wipe you out in response. It consumes enormous resources as people on your own side get killed, your resources get used up, etc. It weakens your group making you more vulnerable to attack from third parties.

Most of the time, it's just bad strategy.

You don't need to invent instincts or tendencies or claim something is more subtle or targeted when the vastly simpler explanation is just that it's all just cost-benefit.

Or, just hear me out, this is what a moral panic looks like on social media.

I'm going to be honest: I don't believe the story, it reads exactly like what someone who banned their kids from video games, TV or texting would say 20 years ago, even if the kid didn't have what everyone, including you, is assuming is an "addiction", despite being wholly unqualified to diagnose such a thing, let alone over the internet through a 2nd hand story lol.

To quote the top replies to that thread:

> Ironic that OP turns to social media for support because her kid’s access to said support has been removed.

And

> We need to remember that this is the societal structure of their world and it is also the only one they have ever known - then in a single evening, it was gone. But also, not for everyone; so injustice is now mixed in to the equation.

> She's going to need time to adjust and she's also going to need ways to stay in contact with her friends, because at the end of the day that is what she is upset about: the loss of social contact.

I'd examine why you're so willing to believe what you read on social media despite the lack of real data and evidence towards the claims you're accepting at face value.

I won't disagree that the people inside the system are making it worse but the system is currently setup to incentivize bad behavior.

- Overly broad qualified immunity

- The power of the police unions

- Lawsuit settlements coming out of public funds

- Collusion between prosecutors' and the police

These are all issues that need to be resolved to restore the sanity in policing.

At the federal level, the FBI needs to be reigned in...somehow. They all to often work outside the bounds of their defined role and powers. This isn't a new problem and one could argue it has been an issue since the beginning.
by Ms-J | 2026-01-27 23:55:00+00:00
People need to investigate the FBI. They would be shocked at their crimes. The recent Epstein news comes to mind but that is only the smallest tip of it.

Always use encryption for anything. Encrypted messengers are great, but I would never trust Signal. It requires phone numbers to register among other issues, has intelligence funding from places such as the OTF, and their dev asset Rosenfeld is a whole other issue.

> I worry about the "brain atrophy" part, as I've felt this too. And not just atrophy, but even moreso I think it's evolving into "complacency".

Not trusting the ML's output is step one here, that keeps you intellectually involved - but it's still a far cry from solving the majority of problems yourself (instead you only solve problems ML did a poor job at).

Step two: I delineate interesting and uninteresting work, and Claude becomes a pair programmer without keyboard access for the latter - I bounce ideas off of it etc. making it an intelligent rubber duck. I do not bore myself with trivialities such as retrieving a customer from the DB in a REST call (but again, I do verify the output).

> Will we retract our outrage when a conviction is delivered? Is there a reason we expect nothing to come of this?

I doubt the Trump DOJ will want to prosecute this. Now, if Democrats win in 2028, maybe the Newsom (or whoever) DOJ will-but Trump might just give everyone involved a pardon on the way out the door. And I doubt a state prosecution would survive the current SCOTUS majority.

So yes, there are decent reasons to suspect “nothing to come of this” in the purely legal domain. Obviously it is making an impact in the political domain.

Back story:

I've been learning computer graphics on the side for several years now and gain so much joy from smooshing and stretching images/videos. I hope you can get a little joy as well with Fuzzy Studio!

Try applying effects to your camera! My housemates and I have giggled so much making faces with weird effects!

> Try to understand why the US has high tech salaries though. It is because the last 40 years have made it pretty easy and convenient to start companies.

I thought this was because US trade and foreign policy coerced most of the world to open up their markets to high-margin American services via treaties. It's easy to pay high salaries when you're vacuuming money from around the world, and your product (software) has very low marginal cost of replication.

Huh, that's exactly the solution to addiction? Step 1 is always changing your behaviour patterns to break out of habits and avoid things that draw you into it.

Make your bedroom a phone-free zone, charge it in the living room overnight, use the built in parenting and screentime controls that every modern phone OS has, don't let your kids stare at the screen all day. Etc.

This isn't rocket science. Self control is one of the most important things you need to learn. It sucks and it's hard but it's basic life stuff.

The only difference with social media addiction vs drugs/gambling is that it's not socially ostracized like other addictions so people ignore it.

I was not aware of that fake daycare propaganda until someone else exposed its meaning later in the thread.

As a parent, you should know that believing this obviously false propaganda requires both 1) a weird and overly specific interest in daycares, and 2) not enough normal healthy exposure to kids to understand what daycares don't let weird freaks come inspect the children. Namely, repeating this obvious lie gives off pedo vibes, and I would never let you near my children after hearing you gobble up that propaganda uncritically and then even going so far as to spread it.

There's a recording from the 80s where he makes the same point in the middle of reciting the poem. It's a really good version.

"A lot of times people see battles and skirmishes on TV and they say 'Ah-ha! The revolution is being televised!' Nah. The results of the revolution are being televised. The first revolution is when you change your mind, about how you look at things, and see that there might be another way to look at it that you have not been shown. What you see later on is the results of that, but the revolution, that change that takes place, will not be televised."

The stylistic E actually looks nothing alike if you look at the picture in the complaint linked elsewhere in the thread[0]. Just about the only similarity is that it's vaguely cursive red with white outline. The "E" is probably the most obviously different part.

It's immediately obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that it's a parody, so only a corporate lawyer could be so dishonest as to write that it's "likely to deceive and cause confusion, mistake, or deception among consumers or potential consumers as to the source of origin of Defendant’s goods and services and the sponsorship or endorsement of those goods and services by Kellogg."

Quite interesting to see the product placement examples in the document though as evidence their "renown."

There's a similar feeling story in a later League of Extraordinary Gentlemen book* where it's a history of England in that universe. The part that really stuck with me was the description of the government from 1984 as just another strange period in history. Eventually, Big Brother just falls and the next government takes over. Compared with how the system in 1984 feels hopeless and eternal it gives me a strange kind of hope.

I feel like I'm still a couple steps behind in skill level as my lead and is trying to gain more experience I do wonder if I am shooting myself in the foot if I rely too much on AI at this stage. The senior engineer I'm trying to learn from can very effectively use ai because he has very good judgement of code quality, I feel like if I use AI too much I might lose out on chance to improve my judgement. It's a hard dilemma.

As someone who's lived in a SEA military dictatorship and has been through the same shenanigans - including protestors who've given their lives - I think the best way to honor their memory would be to heed those lessons in the spirit of prevention. Once we say "well, now we can compare this to Eastern Europe/the (former) third world", it's far too late.

Selling items for less than they cost to produce is known as "dumping" in international trade (where it is generally disallowed by trade organizations) and can be illegal in the US if the intent is to eliminate competition [0]. That last factor can be hard to prove, and I don't think the FTC is doing much about anticompetitive behavior these days.

I like using Cantata, a Qt-based MPD client. Because it's Qt it fits in nicely on my Plasma desktop and because it's an MPD client it is quite good at keeping my collection organised. I do have my default music player set to VLC because I don't like using Cantata to play random audio files I want to listen to (by which I mean 'which sound effect is this wav file').

> As an academic you know that such claims are irrelevant without quantifying them.

This is a principle which means nothing and it's not one I share, and I don't think you share it either. HackerNews is not academia, and academia does not deal exclusively in quant, (even though my corner of academia was indeed 100% numbers 100% of the time). I'm only expressing the impression I have from my perspective as someone who still has ties to academia.

> I'm not sure what you're saying.

It's already been common for the allure of the United States shift depending on the politics of the country and the politics of the specific academic. But that hadn't been enough to shake the crown off our head, so to speak. I am saying that I believe we are no longer number 1.

> If my town is washed away by a flood, I don't say, 'we've always had rain'.

To extend this analogy, I am saying "We've always had rain, we've even had floods. This is the first flood to wash away much of my town. I am sad about that and I don't think it will recover."

If you dig into my comment history, i've been pretty pro China (despite a ding i will do every time: China rural areas are decaying faster than in the west. I think the main contributor is the difference between contryside/rural pay (80-100€ when i was there) and city/industrial pay (700-800€ with no qualification at the time)).

I will still add a caveat with what you've said: China make/unmake rules pretty fast, and while not hidden, those are not easy to find and understand (especially when you take into account enforcement). When those rules touch on immigration policy or on societal stuff change, it can surprise you. As a westerner you should always be OK, but this is a country with no rule of law, you should always keep that in mind.

The subheading is nonsense, but that's science journalism for you. The original paper's abstract is much more specific (ignore the Significance section, which is more editorializing):

> Here, we present the earliest handheld wooden tools, identified from secure contexts at the site of Marathousa 1, Greece, dated to ca. 430 ka (MIS12). [1]

Which is true. Before this the oldest handheld wooden tool was a thrusting spear from Germany dated ~400kYA [2]. However, the oldest evidence of woodworking is at least 1.5 million years old; we just don't have any surviving wooden tools from that period.

This is undoubtedly happening (and we need to do something about foreign owned press in this country), but I think this is too convenient a story. I am a socialist and I have become extremely concerned about immigration in recent years. I want to talk about those concerns and work towards solutions that are amiable for our country, Canadians, and immigrants. Unfortunately, a lot of people who otherwise share my beliefs, don't seem willing to acknowledge that people like me (who strongly oppose the National Post propaganda organ) exist.

Glad to see some personal validation, here. I encountered bizarre clawbacks from Amazon on five different occasions in 2025 from returns - one of them four months after the return and refund. They'd often claim they expected a certain item, but received a different one. After reaching out to their CS department they'd tell me it was a mistake, refund me, tell and not to worry about it - all just to have their returns team charge me yet again for it a few weeks later...

I'm not so sure if that's too wrong.

Science works by scientist having a model of reality and then testing that model against reality, gathering evidence that fits or doesn't fit the model, evaluating how well the model corresponds to reality.

If there is a widely accepted model in the archaeological community, and the new data contradicts it, the wording "than archaeologists thought" seems plausible enough.

Of course, depending on the model, the model itself might admit regimes of "non-applicability", or have some measure of confidence... If archeologists have large uncertainty whether human ancestors made tools 500,000 years back or not, then they shouldn't be surprised upon finding evidence that the ancestors did.

I don't know any specifics about this case, just arguing that the working by itself is not always wrong by default.

Really, there are two sets of stopping points:

- After threefold repetition or 50 moves, either player may claim a draw.

- After fivefold repetition or 75 moves, the game is automatically drawn.

Most modern counts of the longest possible chess game, or the total number of possible chess games, are based on the 75-move rule.

That's really cool! That's actually the standpoint we started with. We asked what a collaborative reconciliation of document updates looks like. However, the LLMs seemed to get `swayed` or showed `bias` very easily. This brought up the point about an adversarial element. Even then, context engineering is your best friend.

You kind of have to fine-tune what the objectives are for each persona and how much context they are entitled to, that would ensure an objective court proceeding that has debates in both directions carry equal weight!

I love your point about incentivization. That seems to be a make-or-break element for a reasoning framework such as this.
