They won't have trouble recruiting low and mid level AI engineers, simply because the pool is large. But the pool of highly experienced engineers and leaders in the space is much smaller, and even a moderate reduction in interest there could have huge long-term implications for the company--especially since those high-level contributors have greater financial freedom to follow their principles.
In addition, the Surface Pro 2 had a firmware issue for months after launch that caused it to get very hot, potentially damaging the battery. I was a very unsatisfied customer, personally.
In France and Germany the per capita consumption is about 1 kg, in the US it's about 4 pounds. So twice as much. Not as big a difference as I'd have expected going by this thread. If the sources and my interpretation of them are correct, anyway.

Fwiw it's available in every supermarket in Germany and for me it's a pantry staple.

Even with infinity resources available for manual human moderation, you eventually hit a wall where different sub-communities will simply have different standards for what is acceptable to them— what might be reasonable debate in one circle is gaslighting and triggering to people elsewhere. It's not really up to the platform to impose a global code of conduct, and attempting to do so (outside of banning the most obvious of bad behaviours or things that are actually illegal) never seems to go well for platforms.

So yeah, I agree with TFA in the sense that these are problems to be solved largely at the system level. For example, compared to Twitter (where anyone can reply-to, quote, RT, and @user anyone), Twitch and Tiktok seem to do well at permitting individual creators to have their own space with their own exclusive authority over what is and isn't okay in the space. And they have (or at least enable to exist) lots of tools for exerting that authority— witness things like "bye trolls" scripts on Twitch that do have to be set up in advance, but then can be used at the drop of a hat in response to brigading to immediately close the stream to new followers, and disallow posts from non-followers, plus delete chat posts from anyone who joined the stream in the last X minutes.
I was more referencing the bank in this case. They screw up royally, and the little guy gets arrested.

You can also dual license your work. If a new license version appears you can read it through and then decide if you want to distribute your work with that license _too_.
This is fundamentally wrong. I don't care if you like GPLv2 or not, but this is clearly showing you can't read or haven't read it.

Its not about the user keeping his code under GPL2, its about other parties being required to keep their changes under GPL2 and accessible.
This is partially due to liability: if someone slips on a wet spill and hurts themselves, Whole Foods is liable if they haven't been taking reasonable measures to clean up such spills in a timely fashion (1/hour). Scanning is a way to later prove that such cleaning was happening.
I googled "binary tree reversal".

Google requested clarification: "Did you mean: binary tree traversal". Google also mentioned "inversion" of a binary tree.

Google seems more confused than I am.
What was their research about? When I hear ethical AI things like differentiable privacy and stuff comes to mind. Is it things like that or am I way off?
It goes beyond "radicalizing" potential anti-vaxxers IMO, because at this point it's become like its own religion, where every vaccine must be equally good and questioning a vaccine is somehow outrageous.

US agencies are the ones recommending a halt. US refused to approve AZ, and Europe halted it, in many countries imposing additional restrictions when resumed. Doctors specializing in the field agree these are legitimate concerns.

If people want to argue cost/benefit tradeoffs, or speculate on things we aren't sure about yet that's totally cool, as long as they are upfront about it. And I understand if someone still wants to get J&J and is upset or just generally disagrees with the total/forceful pause.

But I don't understand treating anyone that has a concern about J&J like a brainwashed neanderthal, when literally the actual medical community has reservations about this particular vaccine. As a young woman I would not get J&J right now. Luckily I was able to get Pfizer instead.

Anyway, I agree there is a problem more generally with scientific education that can push "moderately misinformed" people into much deeper rabbit holes instead of working to educate them. I guess my point is just that I think this is a good example of how people have gotten so entrenched in the issue that it has reached a new level. There will be cases when the science is legitimately unclear, but the popular sentiment will all of a suddenly decide "science says X" and then the internet runs with it.

Another example - there was an ~2 week period last March where I had multiple educated/"science supporting" friends talk down to anyone considering a mask. No it was not coming from a hoarding perspective and it had 0 sense of uncertainty about it. These were strongly worded statements about how "masks don't do anything for COVID, the science is pretty clear".
> What if there exists a whole tree of bad apples vouching for another?

That's when you add top moderation, so the algorithm becomes a way to scale the moderators, not a full moderation solution.

You can't create an algorithm that solves moderation, unless you create a fully featured AI with a value system.
Sharing biological data: why, when, and how
One person, out of the 6.8 million who have gotten the J&J vaccine, died from blood clots. A second is in critical condition.

Yes, your risk of dying from COVID varies with age, but not to that extent. Even among children, the death rate for COVID is an order of magnitude over the 0.000015% to 0.000030% chance of death it would have to be for the decision to stop using the J&J vaccine to make sense, based on the numbers we're making that decision based off of. Among the people who are actually being blocked from getting the J&J vaccine (e.g. mostly 20s/30s/40s adults), the decision looks much worse.
Not sure about Android but, for iOS users, it makes no sense trusting open source software. So, even if you choose strongbox or keepassium as they’re open source you’re still trusting some dude as you have no option to verify that the iOS build is the same as the build on github.

This is why I prefer to give my password to a company like Bitwarden and 1Password. At least, they have less incentive to be malicious than random dude on the store.
I didn't deny the existence of poverty. I do not deny your personal experience. There's a lot of poverty. I said that living paycheck to paycheck does not necessarily mean poverty.

According to google, the percentage of Americans in poverty is 9.2% for 2020, not 63%.
I like the idea!

One small suggestion: if this is a free product I'd reword "Get started for free". That phrase makes me think I'll be signing up for a free trial.
Many national parks set monthly visitation records last year, campground reservations are at all-time highs, and SAR operations across the country are stretched thing. What else was there to do when other vacation and travel activities are closed?

I'm not sure how outdoors-y fatalities will be impacted by all of this, but people are definitely not "doing fewer outdoor actives" right now.
This comment is a prime example of why we’re in this mess with vaccine denial in the first place. You’re either not allowed to say anything negative about vaccines, or you’re an anti-vaxxer who thinks your kids will get autism and 5G chips. It’s so cult-like.

We should be honest about the (low) risks and benefits of vaccination without turning it into a political campaign of shame and bullying, and trust people to make the right choice for them and the public.

Perhaps you also think the US government is anti-vaxxer, as it runs a publicly funded National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program - https://hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/index.html
Probably a lexer bug. "foo"or should never be processed as "foo" and token OR
There just aren’t other chips with M1 levels of performance and efficiency. The Surface Pro X, however, is an ARM option, albeit with a now fairly outdated chip.

I have high hopes for the laptop chip Qualcomm plans to build with the former Nuvia team though.
So over 12 hours of battery life for the 15” sounds right?
Also, if there is a severe penalty for vouching for bad people, but not much gain for vouching for someone, will you end up with no one wanting to vouch for anyone else?
This is the worst thing they could do, leave google open to host iOS apps on their store
Discord for iOS will block users from accessing all NSFW servers
> Replaceable SSD, Keyboard, and Monitor for easy repair. Wow.

By far the biggest selling point for me! I wouldn't even consider apple products for this reason.
Also, the Ryzen APUs (custom model numbers 4680U/4980U) are unfortunately still Zen 2.
> One company said "uses Windows so we don't think he'll be able to integrate into our OSX based workflow". Ha!

As someone involved in hiring, Windows IS a red flag (unless you are a .NET developer). Any sort of open source stack is either a nightmare to get going on windows, or impossible to get going on windows. I also have no idea why you would do that to yourself, Windows as a dev environment is terrible, definitely the worst of the three options.
Pointing out discrimination against POC is an "inflated political situation"?
Demanding that peer reviewers identities be revealed to her and making racist and misandric remarks about her bosses would be a good start.
I call bullshit. If you had done so, you would have shared links to them to prove your point.
South Africa suspends rollout of Johnson and Johnson Covid vaccine
That sounds like a pretty fantastic way to build an echo chamber.
Au contraire, I'd argue HN is a very diverse site but it's the moderation by both users and moderators that makes it seem orderly and uniform. There are many stories that get flagged a-la blogspam, low quality, clickbait etc, and same with comments. Those that don't have merit by the community don't reach the wider audience. I think the conception that HN is uniform is a somewhat common misunderstanding, as evidenced by discussions on supposedly-trolls and the like: it isn't usually the case that someone is shilling or trolling, more often than not it's just someone with a different world view.
The fake one has 4.1 stars and the real one has 4.4 stars, not a very strong signal. I wonder if they are also cheating that.
"Ethics in AI" have deep implications for improving our AI systems. For example, bias in training data has an outcome of the performance of a system. Ethics in AI movements looks deeper into this process and does improve performance in AI systems.

Also because AI deeply interacts with human systems today at a large scale (think youtube recommendation algorithm) it will also have a large affect on society.

So not sure what "political" agenda there is there except acknowledging the obvious.
> How’s culture, storytelling, arguing, etc. working for us so far?

Pretty well really (despite many obvious problems) - humanity has done and is doing great things. We also have a huge advantage though that the alignment has a shared evolutionary history so it really doesn't vary that much (most humans have a shared intuition on most things because of that, we also perceive the world very similarly). For the specific examples of countries, international incentives via trade have done a lot and things are a lot better than they have been historically.

> We’re talking about minds here, not machines that follow exact orders. How do you change minds?

We agree more than you probably think? You can change minds though and you can teach people to think critically and try to take an empirical approach to learning things in addition to built in intuition (which can be helpful, but is often flawed). Similarly there are probably ways to train artificial minds that lead to positive results.

> The point is that there is no simple recipe for "alignment"

I agree - I doubt it's simple (seems clear that it is definitely not simple), but like there are strategies to teach people how to think better, there are probably strategies to build an AGI such that it's aligned with human interests (at least that's the hope). If alignment is impossible then whatever initial conditions set an AGI's goal could lead to pretty bad outcomes - not by malevolence, but just by chance: https://www.lesswrong.com/tag/paperclip-maximizer

It's just like TLS SNI a very obvious feature completely contrary to TLS privacy purpose, but which very few people know about.
The CDC only tracks actual suicides, not attempts. Suicidal thoughts and attempts are up: https://www.aappublications.org/news/2020/12/16/pediatricssu...

Besides, in the CDC table, "unintentional injuries" is up by way more than suicides are down. This includes things like car accidents, and is a little suspicious, like suicidal behavior led to a death that wasn't classified as suicide. Also note that the table is "deaths with covid or presumed covid", not "deaths by covid": https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778234

So I guess this is their "Macbook Air" equivalent?

It's funny to compare with something like https://us.vaio.com/collections/vaio-sx14 which is still very thin. I guess the main trade-off is battery life.
I've seen buildings where the buttons are 'burried' in a few mm 'deep' the wall, and painted over so that you don't notice them at all, the wall looks really smooth. The guards know where exactly the spots are, you see them waving their devices in a seemingly flat/blank wall, then the beep sounds, and they walk towards their next 'random' spot.
I'd still expect the AMD version to have better battery life because the numbers are probably 30% lower across the board right?
This is a fascinating topic. If you're interested you should read Khor's book on it, "The Breakdown of Nations". Lots of surprises and food-for-thought. The youtube I linked to is a fair introduction.

I guess I threw my above reply out there because I think globalism was meant to extend the power and wealth the elites already have, and that is its one benefit, not preventing wars. A lot of wars have been fought to construct and preserve this global order.

Khor makes a great case that the problems of staying small are less than the problems of bigness. There will still be wars, but small wars are better than big wars. Small countries can still gang up on large threats. He talks a lot how bigness always eventually leads to tyranny and aggression, just look at the history of every large country.

Khor speaks highly of federations, and what works and what doesn't. For example, he says it's great that the U.S. is made up of many states without being dominated by any one state. But I think he would be concerned if he saw a federal government grow so powerful that it can dominate all the states, not to mention the rest of the planet!

I share your scepticism about how to get from here to there. I think Khor does, also.
This is honestly the best page I ever read that explains what floc is. Please finish reading the article. Your 1 paragraph was a bit further down.
I'll be completely honest: it's pretty easy to know if a building has been cleaned by just... being in the building.

To me, this sounds like one layer of bureaucrats trying to justify their jobs. Truth is, with unionized school districts, for every custodian doing the job, minor maintenance and inspections, there are a few bureaucrats in offices looking at spreadsheet and attending government sponsored management seminars on how to streamline the organization...
Of course they were richer, way richer than common folk. You forgot to write access to western goods, skipping the lines for healthcare (some had privilege to use foreign healthcare), best schools, best food,... Compare that to hungry peasant dying by millions.
Sigh. A "certain level of bad behaviour on the internet and on social might just be inevitable" has been an excuse since the beginning. I worked on the first web-based chat, bianca.com, and I heard it back then. More recently, I worked on anti-abuse at Twitter a few years back and hear the same talking point. Now I work on the problem at a not-for-profit, and it's still a talking point. Ignoring that the social media landscape has shifted dramatically over the decades, as have the technologies and our understanding of the problem.

It was always a terrible point, but it's especially ridiculous to see techno-utopians turn techno-fatalists in an eyeblink. The same people will go right from "innovation will save the world" to "I guess progress has now stopped utterly". And what they never grapple with is who is bearing the brunt of them giving up. I promise you it's not venture capitalist and rich guy Ben Evans who will be experiencing the bulk of bad behavior. It's easy enough for him to sacrifice the safety of others, I suppose, but to me it seems sad and hollow.
Why do they still bother installing Intel? I am in the market for a new laptop, but I simply cannot buy a reheated vintage CPU that likes to spin fans loudly.
Then the Ryzen one is old as well. Why not a new gen?
Why not trying ARM like Apple did?
the more i think about it, the less convinced i am of airtags being an apple product, rather than being internal development units for the creation of the find my network (as others have posited).

apple is generally allergic to low-price, low-volume hardware products, which i think airtags might turn out to be, since there's an inherent tension between price and volume, and capital costs and margins. in other product lines, apple builds enough differentiation to alleviate those tensions in its favor, but there isn't that sort of opportunity in airtags (as much as i wish there were). the utility of airtags is not insignificant, but is limited by loss incidence/recovery rates and network reach, and potentially has significant support costs and customer-facing risk.

so instead, the cost-benefit analysis points to developing the network, which supplements the moat around their flagship, the iphone, provides further lock-in into their existing icloud infrastructure, and provides some modest high-margin income to boot, without incurring the added capital costs and other risks.
That depends on what you are doing. If you are doing ecommerce, you need shipping address. GDPR does add work in this case.

Just my tidbit, as a salty owner: The battery life on the 13' MBP is poor, and does not come close to what is advertised with any sort of moderate use (email, chat, couple browser tabs).
Update on beta testing payments in Signal
I have been looking for this exact short story since I first encountered it via a now long-forgotten HN comment - thank you, djoldman, for bringing it back to my attention! I'll make sure to bookmark it this time :)
Doesn't this fit your description of "spyware"?
Lobste.rs uses a similar tree model. It is invitation only and if you invite bad people repeatedly, you will get smooshed.
But still uses a garbage top-hinged trackpad.

Lenovo has finally started implementing haptic trackpads like Macbooks have had for almost a decade, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for the Surface Laptop 5.
Amazon calls that the STAR method, Situation, Task, Action, Result. Combined with real world experience / examples can be powerful during interviews. Especially during interviews with people not knowing this method.
1. Write down what you're doing, so that you can send a link when ppl are asking.

2. Collect the minimum possible data, explain what/why you collect, if possible explain how it's stored

3. Open source is a good way to make huge leaps forward with trust

(In general I agree with others, if you can give a bit more concrete examples of what's going on, maybe we can provide more direct feedback.)
I don't think it was ever free. It went from standalone licenses to SaaS, but it was always a paid product.
It's a question of economics.

A 20,000 kg rod costs $200m to launch into LEO at $10k/kg. At $200/kg it's only $4m.

Uranium price per kilo seems reasonable at $60/kg, so we're getting to a point where the raw material cost is not that different from the getting the damn thing to LEO.

If you can get each complete rod down to say $200m, ie the cost of a cruise missle for the DOD, that's a pretty impressive capability.
You live in la la land if you think they will have a problem hiring AI leaders. If you pay them they will come. Even the couple of researchers who got fired realized they made a mistake. Bengio left but he was already there for 15 years and is a multi-millionaire. He probably would've left anyway sooner or later.
I'm absolutely not saying that vaccines don't work. I'm saying that they prevent you from expressing symptoms and make the virus live _less long_ in your body, which in turn make you _less_ of a spreader, but still not 0%. With lowered spreading, the virus will eventually die out.
That hasn't been confirmed. Are we sure that it's not an inherent ambiguity in the grammar?
That's really great to hear. Someone I know who works in as a volunteer in the vaccination centre said the same kind of thing as that too.
This last sentence doesn't really make sense. PBKDF2 is a KDF; its whole purpose is to take low-entropy secrets like passwords and convert them into keys suitable for cryptography. That's not a jury-rigging; it's the intended function of the primitive.
Now we have people being born into practically eternal poverty and forced to toil constantly under horrible conditions in order to avoid economic punishments.
Judging by the race turmoil in the West, being an ethnostate is the only sane thing to do.

China's taking care of China and the Chinese, while the West are busy repenting for the crimes that happened hundreds of years ago.

And as you've noticed yourself, China's happy to manipulate Hollywood into publishing what they want, no need to create their own.
IMO, no - I'm saying that folks risk management is completely out of wack. The chance the disease kills you is 1 in 100. The chance that the vaccine kills you is 1 in 7 000 000. One is bigger than the other. By, like, a lot.

The government's response is to pacify anti-vaxxers.
The "or later" bit was meaningless until the first GPLv3 (or later) code change was introduced, and it wasn't forced by anyone since it wasn't even part of the license.

Users of GPLv2-or-later software cannot use GPLv3 clauses against other users (such as patent grants), as either party can always claim to be using the code under either license. GPLv2-or-later is thus fine.

The "unsuspecting part" comes from people relicensing under v3 without understanding how radioactive it is. And it is radioactive not because of any software-related concerns, but because of extraneous stuff (like Linus says).

Funny enough, the most radioactive bits come from trying to cover things that are better fought in other grounds, like software patents.
Those are great points. I believe that there should be essentially no censorship at all, subject to First Amendment restrictions. Posts could be hidden to people based on age, political, or other preferences, but would always be accessible to adult users willing to sign a waiver.

I believe very much that bad material no matter how disgusting is best handled through public exposure, not censorship.
