The radicalization of the mainstream media is far more scary to me than some random people making pepe videos (which, although I would consider myself conservative, never get recommended to me by youtube). White men = evil. Read all about it! It's okay to say it now -- just accept it. White people are fucking scum of the earth. It's time that we finally DID something about it: source: NYT, Washington Post, Democracy Now, western universities. I guess its time for western civilization to collapse already.

How can any HNer do this if it relies on classified metadata? And how does Palantir even get this classified metadata? their customers?
Nice work with the file recovery. I wish I could recover my old stuff but it's all gone.

I remember a few names because I was 12 and wanted to be like the cool kids in ElectroSoft. My memory of your exact screen name was refreshed when I stumbled across LightHouse on archive.org a few months ago.

While we're recommending leftist youtubers, I think ContraPoints[0] is wonderful, educational, and entertaining. She has made me reconsider a lot of things.

I don't agree with the way you phrase it.

No freaking suggested video is going to rob any individual of their agency any more than yet another hottake NYT Op-ed is going to rob mine. Their algorithms however do move the average, increasing monetization. The average is not the same as the individual.

I don't see that as removing agency, even if it is influencing individuals a little. There are dark patterns like those employed by shady mobile game apps that hook in players into addiction. The recommended vids on youtube don't reach that level in my opinion and it's a category error to lump them together.
> Making subtle changes to images, text, or audio can fool these systems into perceiving things that aren’t there.

This isn't a hallucination problem. It is a robustness issue.

The outputs of modern AI lack conceptual depth and substance. These algorithms produce very shallow categorizations that are only useful in narrow, constrained contexts. Not surprisingly, it isn't hard to break or hack these fragile categorizations.

Sure, one could potentially argue that this has some similarity to human hallucinations, but I think that is a needless distraction. We know with great certainty that our AI techniques don't have the robustness and generality of animal intelligence. We are much less certain about the causes of human mental illness and any resulting hallucinations, so that analogy doesn't really lead us in a productive direction.
What are some examples of interesting market analysis you can do this with this data?
Even something like Civilization can be expressive and educational. I mean, I also loved Mortal Kombat as a kid, before my parents figured out it was a game where you could punch a man so hard you could pull his beating heart out of his chest. But I also remember learning about ecology from SimEarth, and learning how to balance a budge from Theme Park.
Tools really only can help you so much. Productivity is a lot more about attitude and skills. The necessary attitude is that you are trying to avoid unnecessary work, instead of the more typical of attitude of trying to do all the work more efficiently.

> All of your remote data is protected by whatever password you use, rather than by a high-entropy key (which means if you choose a poor password you might as well leave your data in plaintext).

Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean by 'protected' and 'high entropy key'? It makes it sound like they aren't key stretching, which seems unlikely. Can you provide a source here?

> Worse, they use dynamically-downloaded JavaScript to handle your password, which means even if you use a high-entropy passphrase Mozilla can at any time send you malicious JavaScript and snarf your passphrase.

I'm unsure why you think Mozilla would do this, or why you would be using Firefox at all if you expect them to push malware to your system.

> This means that any government Mozilla must obey can do the same thing.

I'm not sure this is true, mostly because it lacks any sort of precedent.

>How to Raise a Boy is a weeklong series centered around this urgent question in the era of Parkland, President Trump, and #MeToo.

HAHAHA.

Why is this here? Citing #MeToo implies that somehow, after #MeToo, you're supposed to do something different in raising your boys. As-if teaching your boys to respect women is some magical new idea, or, that telling your boys to walk around with collective guilt for crimes they haven't committed, is somehow going to set them up for a better for life.

>Parkland

Gun shootings are down. Meanwhile, traffic accidents kill scores every year. Why are there no #RespectRedLights movements?

>President Trump

Yeah, sure sucks when the people who actually bother to vote, win an election. Imagine if conservatives "don't get their way" next election (which will likely go Blue, right?), and then they resort to the tactics the left has? Like burning down neighborhoods [1] and blacklisting speakers [2], dumping bottles of water on disabled veterans in wheelchairs, [3] and threatening to lock people in a church and burn it down. [4] You better pray to whatever deity you believe in that right-wingers are more respectful of the next election, or it's gonna be a straight-up bloodbath.

I find it interesting that their “growth hacking” has pissed someone off enough that they took the time out of their day to give us the content without bullshit :)

Cheers!
The issue in the article is people who sacrifice their life balance to deal with their inner demons. But when they accomplish whatever goal they're sacrificing for, it doesn't resolve the inner demon. The overachieving doesn't meet the actual goal. It's maladaptive.

Maybe that's fine for the rest of us who get to bask in the glory of their accomplishments, but is it really worth it to the overachievers? Jim Ryun (former world record holder in the mile) and "Pistol" Pete Maravich (former NBA star) would be two examples of people who overachieved, crashed and burned, and then found their life balance.
Conspiracy theories and disagreeable speech are still speech and are still protected, I understand not wanting to run ads against that content but advocating to memory-hole it altogether is the morally wrong argument.

People will choose what to ultimately watch and spent their time on, this insistence on shielding and infantilizing the general public is patronising, not to mention that there are no studies that would indicate any of the content is changing anyone's opinion, the few scientific studies on this "fake news" scare would suggest that mainstream outlets were and are the shapers of public opinion e.g. https://cyber.harvard.edu/publications/2017/08/mediacloud

The attacks on youtube are especially alarming with the scope of the censorship demands ever increasing with every new feature being blamed, first it was about running ads on obscure videos and the channels of "controversial" personalities and now they demand that the viewer not be suggested content that the author thinks is objectionable as though they are forces to watch it "A Clockwork Orange" style. I'm old enough to remember when this author and her peers were defending web firms against censorship attempts by governments around the world.

Minecraft and Infiniminer are two very different games, similar in superficial visuals and technological implementation but completely different in terms of gameplay.

Besides, if you enjoy a game and then development of that game stops, what's wrong with making your own?

Yes indeed.

My computer at work has 16 GB. It gets slow. Every now and then, I'll open a web page that pushes things past a limit. The browser becomes completely unresponsive and sometimes I can't even move my mouse. While I'm suffering from running out of memory, the browser decides to use up even more memory to pop up a dialog to taunt me about it.

This can even happen without user action, for example when a page automatically loads a new ad. The ads on reddit seem particularly bad in this way. Randomly, one will eat all my RAM.

I often end up having to hold down the power button for 5 seconds. That, and pulling the power cord, are the only reasonable recovery. If I get "lucky", as I did a few days ago, Linux will kill the X11 server; this violently shuts down the whole GUI.

I really really hate the situation. I blame most of it on Chromium and Firefox, both of which don't make a serious attempt to keep things under control. A bit of blame goes to the fact that resources allocated in the X11 server can not be easily mapped back to web pages and thus kept within page-specific memory quotas.
We should all take personal responsibility for the media we consume. It's not up to Google to shield people from less nuanced political views just in case we take them too literally.
Accountable for what? We have a disastrous dietary culture in this country, a never ending bomb of acute illnesses that waste trillions to merely mitigate symptoms that could have been avoided with better information.

An obese nation literally has the quality of cognition tuned down. Persistent inflammation, insulin resistance messing with the brain, eventual diabetes...

Instead of making people into strong kingdoms, we give more advanced tools to kingdoms of the body and soul blighted by people who think ideals matter more than diet and habit.

On the Switch playing Mario Kart 8 with a 5 and 3 year old is everything I wanted. It can both be cooperative and competitive. We have also ventured coop through Mario Odyssey. I think Minecraft is fun, but you definitely have whole bunch of games you should explore with the kids.
It's the difference between knowing you're hungry and knowing you will be hungry. I can tell you that if I drive a car far enough it will eventually run out of gas, so I should probably go to the gas station before a big trip. But that's a very different problem from having a gas gauge that's broken entirely.
Resource management in video games is a skill that I'm sure transfers to real world resource management. Apart from the simulators you mention strategy games like age of empires and red alert also teach about it.

Some weeks ago a co-worker told me something similar to what you share, how he learned about resources while playing SimCity. He also said his younger sister asked him "If people doesn't have money, why doesn't the government print money and gives it to people?". He said that playing SimCity would have prevented his sister from asking such a naive question.

I also would love so see the results of research about these games on kids. Maybe someday kids will play Sim City and AoE at elementary school or similar games designed for schools.
That's my biggest problem with Minecraft as a game, I think there are a lot more options to handle this that don't force aesthetic choices on the player.
Chrome needs to handle a malicious web site. Chrome thus gets the blame when it fails to enforce proper resource limits.
The IF literature I’ve read indicates that calorie reduction isn’t really a goal, though it often happens to some degree. But I’m generally not taking in 2/3rd of prior calories just because I’m eating 2/3rd of the meals - more like 3/4 or 4/5.

This is all new to me so curious where you’re getting this info from so I can read up.

Andrew Sullivan: The World Is Better Than Ever. Why Are We Miserable?
A good question that should be asked is why are we focused on trying to recreate being human in a machine? There's already billions of human beings. Machines are our tools. I think Augmented Intelligence was always the better term, but the scifi stories and overhype stole the show a long time ago.

Do we really want and need a Data or HAL? They're great for story telling, but is that what humanity really needs from it's tools? I don't need to fall in love with Siri like in the movie Her. I just need it to be useful when I want to ask my device oral questions.

> But these over-achievers are all the while trying to secure something far more tricky, unusual and unmentioned: they are trying – through their work – to correct an aspect of a troubled emotional past.

Umm, non sequitur much?

I'm supposed to believe every kid who finds they're good at something, decides to pursue this thing and then reaches success over their peers (who are also good at this thing) are secretly running away from daddy issues or whatever?

My "troubled emotional past" turned me into a complete slacker – though I do over-achieve at that so maybe they're on to something after all?

Fwiw quadratic hashing was only added to khash in 2013. Depending on when you first tested it, that may not be the reason it was faster.
In modern days, it is usually a web page / app, who takes memory, not the browser environment itself.

E.g. I am developing a web photo editor https://www.Photopea.com . When you open large documents (dozens of layers in high resolution), it can use 4 GB of RAM or even more. That is simply because decompressed images are large. No matter what browser you use.

But I am still shocked about the memory requirements of some "modern" web apps. My app Photopea uses 80 MB after loading (with no documents open), because it has already loaded some brushes, patterns, gradients, shapes, and generated raster thumbnails for all of them.

GMail uses 280 MB right after loading. This is quite shocking, knowing that it should contain mostly text content.

This sentence is a strawman as you've invented the opponent's argument (literally no one has mentioned the NSA), just for what it's worth.

Your assertions that:

a) An attacker would have to rely on keylogging

b) Keylogging is a substantial barrier for attacker

are unfounded.
My kids and I use to play Terraria together. I would always challenge them by building things like a castle on the edge of space or a mine car track that ran the length of the map but hidden either in clouds or deep under ground.

I would leave them rare materials or dyes in chests and see what they would come up with.

The fun part was that we didn't have to play at the same time, every now and then I would log in and they'd have left something in my house to let me know they found my hide out.

We eventually invited some of their friends and a co-worker's kid who was getting griefed in public servers.

Every so often we'll spend an evening on the couch playing some co-op or competitive game but we don't spend much time in our Terraria world anymore.

I should check it out and see what's become of it.
This guy has presented extremely little evidence in the article to support his argument. That, coupled with it being on a tabloid leads me to doubt him.

Speaking for myself, with limited experience, the best scientists don't make good managers or leaders, but the universities are looking for managers or leaders, not scientists.

The best scientists probably won't be recognized during their lifetimes. The scientists you do recognize while they're alive, are probably not the best at "science".

I admittedly could be wrong, but I feel you're approaching this video from the assumption that he is a physics professor and what he says must make sense. I suspect you've already taken physics at some point and this reinforces what you've already learned.

Consider this from the perspective of someone who knows nothing of physics and is skeptical of science and academia. Here is a person that shows us he is wrong, does almost nothing to rectify this (there is a very brief explanation, but why not more demonstrations? Or really, why not just prepare a better demonstration that doesn't have these problems?), and then continues to pontificate as an authority figure.

If his goal is to offer a refresher to people that already know the physics, okay I guess this makes sense, but I sure as hell would've liked a refresher on the equations personally (so I am not the target demographic). If his goal is to teach people that know nothing of physics, he really could've done a lot more to actually teach and explain things.

Getting back to my first paragraph though, I feel like this comment thread might be a great example of humans being humans - everybody is susceptible to confirmation bias (again I could be wrong, but that hypothesis makes the most sense to me). If you didn't already understand the physics and you didn't take him at his word because he is a college professor, honestly his tutorial is unconvincing. He completely ignores the scientific method!
AFAIK, each tab in Chrome is a new process, rather than a thread. It's a lot easier to waste memory on duplicate stuff. The operating system will try to re-use as much memory as it can, but that's just a conservative guessing game.

I just opened 'example.com' 6 times in new tabs, and mapped out the memory of the new processes. Total memory size: 10GB. Resident set size: 427.28 MB. Private dirty rss: 104.23 MB. I did the same thing with two new pages & processes just to make sure: 3.3450 GB, 144.532 GB, 36.876 MB.

example.com is a tiny html page. So, yeah, I don't know what the hell it's doing with all that memory. I don't think the devs care how much memory they're using.

This isn't strictly true, but isn't strictly false. Power plants are often built to supply power to aluminum smelters, like in New Zealand [1], Oman [2], and Iceland [3], but they're usually connected to the grid in the end. Iceland has a grid circling the island [4], Oman is upgrading its grid and building out interconnects [5][6], and in New Zealand, Manapouri went from exclusively supplying the Tiwai Point smelter to being a power station of the South Island grid.

Not to mention it's 10x better supported. If your website only runs on 90% of browsers out there, it's a terrible website. And this thing as far as I can tell only runs on last-gen Firefox and Chrome.
