Wtf you're coworkers. The relationship will always be, at its core, transactional. People should be nice, but nice doesn't mean the relationship isn't transactional. Someone nice can still fire you at a moment's notice.
As with other words like "frankness" and "ambition," some people use it to mean the right amount, applied appropriately, and other people use it to mean too much, abused.

I agree with what you say about the dangers of assertiveness, but I think the picture also has to include the problems caused by lack of assertiveness. People who lack assertiveness often think it's only their problem, but it creates problems for the people around them, too. Their boss has to worry that they'll end up working on the wrong things and that the problems they discover won't get the proper attention. Their friends and family have to put in special effort to figure out how they really feel about things, and they have to partially mute their own personalities to avoid steamrolling them. There is an ideal amount of assertiveness in every situation, often difficult to get exactly right, which is why it can be seen as a virtue.
An interesting thought experiment around this whole topic:
If I were to take all the scripts of profitable films rated G or PG and train an AI on it, generate a bunch of scripts, then made movies out of those scripts, would I lose in court?

Tangibly, how is this AI method substantially different from non-clean-room implementations?

In terms of business use, it seems incredibly risky to me to even just *use* GitHub since their license agreement/ToS permit them to use my code to improve their tools which now apparently includes tooling where it may copy your code wholesale as someone else's suggestion.
The problem is that the military does (or at least did in the 200X's) train people how to repair and troubleshoot. They basically take the people more adapt to do that sort of work and train them how to do it.

I know several people who were trained to do board level component replacement, but for most of the equipment they had, they were not authorized to do the repair, even though they were trained and equipped to troubleshoot and repair most circuit boards (including surface mount).

For design and creation of new things (eg: software) they used to train for that, but I don't think they do that anymore.

In my opinion, unless you only want to play extremely lightweight games (like less than 50 megabytes to load) such as older retro games, the SSD is a requirement.

The McGruff Anti-Drug Album from 1987
"The US always claims to have the best cyber-warfare capability on the planet, so presumably they could do ransomware better and faster than gangs like REvil. The US should use this capability to mount ransomware attacks against US companies as fast as they can."

This is totally ridiculous. If anything, the US government needs to hack people less, stop dropping broken DLLs[1] and focus on defense. Security needs to be built up and incentivized, not punitively broken down. Practically all of the organizations hit by these huge attacks were not doing basic measures. Many of them not by CVEs from this year as this post implies.

It also isn't even "ransomware" in this case since there's no ransom. It's just the government hacking your computer because the military-industrial complex (MITRE) doesn't like you. No hate towards them or CVE, but that's not a good look or policy.

The very secure elections that 6 states had to stop counting votes for, at nearly the same time, and leave everyone wondering what was happening for weeks until they got the votes they wanted.
Adding friction helps slow down the honest but gullible. But if you have an organized, professional disinformation campaign, they're willing to do the work to push against the friction.

I suppose they count on their gullible followers to multiply their efforts, and hindering that will have an effect, even against organized campaigns, and that's good. But I wonder whether it will make organized campaigns relatively more powerful. If so, that might not be a net win.
This lawyer does not understand GitHub. Half of the code is uploaded by third parties who do not hold any copyright.

These people either think that for ideological reasons everything should be on GitHub or they want Google links to their companies.

Furthermore "improve their services" reasonably only applies to their core service that was present when people agreed to the TOS and not to some new code laundering AI.

It is frightening that this matter could be decided by such lawyers in the US. People should just all leave GitHub, then Microsoft can play with its own AI and enjoy the silence.
But data localization means the data is in a specific country, but the ownership still remains with the company. And I understand that the judicial systems can be flawed in different countries, but as a company, if you want to do business in a country, you still need to follow the law.

To give you an example, companies operate in China, despite not having great labor laws or environmental protection laws, or the threat of facing the govt.'s wrath any moment. That's because they want to do business in that country. It's the same with any company or country.
> Friction, or training?

Friction.

> In the example of guns, there are SCREENING (not exactly the same as friction) and education/training that many seem to agree are a good solution. Could the same be applied to social media?

Not really. The analogy between guns and social media is not perfect. Training as a solution has special problems with applied to media access that it doesn't have with guns. Specifically, it would probably amount to some kind of indoctrination program. Gun training is a technical topic, like how to drive a car safely.

>> A somewhat less radical form would be to kneecap the ability to share widely on social media sites: no public posts, sharing limited to direct connections (and a cap the number of those to 1000 or something), no features to easily re-share a post outside of its initial audience, get rid of groups, kick out organizations, etc.

> This is again just letting Facebook dictate the solution - not that much different than the unilateral censorship they do.

Actually, that was me dictating a solution to Facebook that stopped short of shutting them down. I'm pretty sure they'd hate to follow it.

And the important difference is that everything I suggested is content neutral, so it can't accurately be called "censorship."

> Seems like this is happening today, and might be a good approach.

Yes, but if it's happening today, I'd bet money it's mostly people who can handle social media relatively well. The problematic people who probably shouldn't have access to a broadcast megaphone are likely still on Facebook and Twitter and are unlikely to leave.

That's the docking station.
I'm not sure how this could really be surmountable. With a controller you have access to at least 6 simultaneous inputs, more if you do some finger claw tricks or have back buttons or something. A keyboard and mouse gives you around the same or more simultaneous inputs. On a touchscreen you can make 2 simultaneous inputs.

Most action games require at least 3 simultaneous inputs to be played effectively.

There's definitely workarounds like the ones you mention, but unless a game is actually made for touchscreen controls, as in optimized for no more than 2 simultaneous inputs, it's not going to be as playable on a touchscreen as it would be with anything else.

Unfortunately, some genres of game just aren't as suited to only 2 simultaneous inputs.

There's lots of fun touchscreen based games, but they're always better with game mechanics specifically suited to touchscreens.
> milk these degenerate spasms of cash all over each others faces

You really could have omitted that thought.
This is true. Look at the TV landscape. How long is a 'one hour show'? 45 mins these days? At one point it was 55. Toss in some overlays and so on. Crush out the credits in speed and split screen it.

I have been using an adblocker for a long time. But a few weeks ago I turned it off 'just to see'. The internet was a lot more 'noisy' than I remember it. I remember when one simple banner ad at the top of the page was considered 'crazy'. If only we knew.
My parents used to let me stay home from school on days the space shuttle was being launched. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I realize how awesome that was.
I think a better question is will games traditionally built for PC's hold up on a mobile device?

Mostly I'm thinking about controller vs keyboard+mouse. Typically you have more controls available on PC and when I play the same game on PC I am complete garbage at it because I'm used to controller, maybe I'm too old though.
Unless I am dead I feel pretty confident that I want to see my photos and videos of my kids growing up in 50 years time (it would make me 90)!
> Yeah, FB didn't invent partisanship, misinformation, nor authoritarianism, but I think likely it is worsening it.

Absolutely, Zuckerberg is basically a younger, less human version of Rupert Murdoch. He's going where the money takes him, and he's happy to exploit a profitable niche. My point though is that it's increasingly clear that Facebook's audience is becoming just that, an aging niche, and that's not a great place to be for a social media platform. We know what happens to those.

Just like Rupert Murdoch's various tabloids, exposure does indeed affect the consumers of that media, and it becomes an ouroboros of tabloid-type hysteria. I don't think that's what bothers facebook though, just the fact that this type of niche audience is a loser in the long run.
For people that are genuinely interested in this - I'd highly recommend Steven Levy's book: Facebook The Inside Story.

It's a fair account without a political bent (really hard to find on this topic) and he had a lot of access to FB leadership while writing it. It also gives a lot of historical context.

WRT the specific outreach metrics mentioned in the article - I'd bet the internal discussion is more nuanced. Making that public could make it harder for them to control abuse by making it easier for people to determine how to maximize reach with spammier hacks. This is already a problem without access to the data.

My personal opinion is this is a hard problem at scale and that Zuckerberg genuinely cares about it [0]. That there is some incentive mismatch given the issues around engagement driving ad revenue, but that the speech issues are more complicated and Zuck cares about how they leverage their power around issues of speech. My take on the Trump ban was less that he changed his position and more that the US no longer met the requirements for a hands-off approach after the insurrection.

Rather than rehash the stuff I wrote in the post, here's the relevant bit:

> "If there’s to be policy around political speech and social media, it should not be the responsibility of private companies to determine when to censor or not censor the speech from democratically elected politicians, operating in countries with rule of law and a free press.

> "There are a lot of conditions on that statement, but it’s because the conditions are relevant and important. The same standard cannot be automatically held for politicians in non-democratic countries, countries without rule of law, countries that suppress speech themselves, or countries without a free press."

...

> "It doesn’t mean they’re not doing anything wrong because they’ve long ago abandoned the chronological news feed in favor of an algorithmically sorted news feed focused on engagement. This is decidedly not neutral. Abuse of these engagement algorithms are what allowed spammers to leverage the viral nature of misinformation to enrich themselves. It’s also what gave credibility and reach to the Russian political interference. If Facebook wants to act as a neutral platform for speech, then they should be neutral. If they are elevating certain content algorithmically then they are acting as a publisher. This weakens their argument about being a neutral platform and makes them more responsible for what they choose to elevate on Facebook."

There's probably reasonable policy here - but it's not trivial.

Ask HN: Should I sell my house to fund my startup? Anyone with the same story?
Everyone says the market is frothy and startups raise unreal sums of money they don't even need at high valuations, yet I'm failling to. I never attended Stanford, didn't work at FAANG and I'm not even from the US, so I don't have relationships with founders/investors. I'm technical, yet need engineers to launch. I built an mvp, pivoted, did customer development etc. I'm full time for over a year, and I'm 25. The market is fairly new and many don't understand it, but I've been working in this space for 8 years, been working with biggest companies. I have multiple ideas I'm confident about if this one will fail. If you had a similar story - please tell it, especially if you failed.

So should I sell my house to fund my startup to some milestone? I don't need cars nor houses, I only care about building stuff and learning, only things that make me happy. Should I YOLO the fuck out of my life?
> Hopefully this will signal a pivot in ad tracking and lead more companies to try subscription based services.

I highly doubt this. I suspect this will instead signal a pivot to products that are intrinsically "trackable".

It's important to remember that ATT doesn't disable tracking in its entirety, it only disables cross-app tracking. It's only harmful to your business if you are reliant on tracking users while they are not using your product.

Lots of products will continue doing fine - think about Google Search, where you directly tell Google what you want. There is not necessarily a huge need to track you while you are not using the product - after all, the product literally revolves around you directly telling Google what you want.

The products that will benefit the most are the ones that a) shows ads, and b) where the product's functionality intrinsically collects information about the user without the need to rely on third-party data.

Oddly enough FB's apps fit decently into this. Your behavior within the FB main app are still "fair game" as far as tracking goes, and FB shows ads directly in the app.

Why do you think the end user won't be doing anything with the underlying OS? It seems to me that the sort of customer that would go for something like this over another console is precisely the sort of customer who would love using the underlying OS and this device as a more general purpose compute device.
That sounds like another way of saying "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".

Ignoring so many people asking them to examine their bias and human fallibility is definitely a form of stupidity. That is unless they believe the people are more flawed than they are and that they are better placed to judge what the people need. In that case, it becomes more malice than stupidity.

The weight is pretty excessive for something you hold out in front of your face with two hands. Yes an 11 year old iPad weighs the same, but people tend to rest the edge of the iPad on a lap, chest, table. At least with the Nintendo Switch, I find it uncomfortable to play while resting it against something else. The angle on my wrists ends up being painful after say 20 minutes.
> I think the US military is actually much better than China at maintaining decently competent people in positions of power.

Looking at what China and the US have accomplished in the past 30 years, how do you draw that conclusion?
I don't think you're speaking with much context.

> USA could lose the war because the front line got cut-off or sieged

No formation is set up to operate without resupply anyway. That's not a thing in the first place - issues with contracting or not.

> don't need to wait them to run out of food or ammo, just have to wait until their gear stopped working properly

Why do you think gear would stop working before they run out of ammo? Ammo is almost always going to be your limiting factor way before anything else. Ammo runs out in hours.

> can be won by just sieging them

Just run a siege. Simple as that, huh? How many people do you think that takes? Huge cordon, defending in both directions at the time same? I wouldn't want to do that. Would you?

You're not going to do anything to it. Valve will be the ones monitoring the Arch repos and testing it before releasing it to you. Maybe they want to have the option to have the latest updates, if they deem them stable, rather than having to wait.
This is actually more evidence for my point, if you think about it.
This allows them to proceed without having to obtain new platform rights from every single publisher on Steam.
I really wonder what it means to be based on Arch Linux. Are users supposed to run packman to grab the latest security fixes? Are users going to be installing apps from the AUR or whatever? Why does this thing even need a package manager at all? Or is there more to a Linux distro that I'm not getting? It seems like a distro is mostly defined by it's package manager and repository paradigm or philosophy, with Debian being the slow stodgy stable distro and Arch being bleeding-edge. Everything else they have in common (wayland, systemd, standard components that don't know or care thst they're running on Debian or Arch).
Soundcloud could claim that their roadmap includes music-based games for mobile devices.

Man there's a lot of juicy stuff in this article (Woodin's Ultimate L program gets briefly alluded to at the end of the article).

I just want to point out, because the HN crowd seems to generally not be mathematical Platonists, that this entire article is implicitly assuming a Platonist philosophical foundation. This may cause confusion for lay readers who are not mathematical Platonists.

In other words the article assumes that mathematical objects have an objective existence: they either exist or they do not. Hence every single logical axiom has a truth value. You do not get to arbitrarily choose what logical axioms you want. If you do, you can end up choosing the "wrong one." Therefore it is an important question to understand whether the Continuum Hypothesis is true or not, even if it's independent of ZFC (and hence requires ultimately philosophical rather than mathematical arguments).

If you aren't a Platonist and instead view logical axioms as having no inherent truth value, but rather foundations that you can pick and choose from as necessary (where in one case you may choose to use an axiom and in another you may choose its negation), then all that might sound very strange to you. In that case, you should mentally substitute every instance of "true" or "false" in the article with "agrees or disagrees with the meta model used to examine the semantics of a logical theory." In particular, whenever we talk about a formal treatment of the semantics (i.e. model) of a theory, whether that be something like ZFC or a programming language, we must always make those statements relative to a meta-model.

For example if we talk about the formal semantics of a language like C, we must first posit a meta-model which already contains notions of things like "integer" and "natural number" which can be used to give meaning to statements such as "performed an operation n times." If you're not a Platonist then you probably believe that there are multiple possible meta-models you could use.

Take a shot every time the article uses "GW" and "MWh/GWh" apparently interchangeably for "energy" or "power", also seemingly at random.
You're taking the machine learning metaphor literally. Training an ML model is not the same thing as a human being learning off of material.

A human being can understand abstract concepts and reason about them based on material they learn from. An ML model is a statistical model that is closer to compilation or lossy encoding or compression.

Often, ML models can encode their training data verbatim in the model itself, which is exactly what happened with Copilot and this example[1].
