I'd really like this as well. Open-source it.

Modern social media platforms are highly profitable AI-accelerated mass manipulation systems, on steroids. These companies have little incentive and are very reluctant to changing their 'winning formula', obviously.

Misinformation is rampant and even rewarded as studies have shown repeatedly. Continuous exposure to these centralised feeds providing an infinite amount of content - managed by barely regulated for-profit companies - is worrying.

Also most platforms are based in the US, a country that has completely different social/cultural views (and laws) compared to the rest of the world. I'm glad I am not a US citizen for example. Still these platforms are being used worldwide, so I think that decisions made about the 'feed algorithm(s)' can have a big social/cultural impact on other countries. More studies (and regulation, taxes) are probably a good idea.

Are there active exploits or is it otherwise much of a problem though? I mean Linux is with us around 30 years, and smartphones 13 years. And the OS updates I had encountered made things worse, eg old Android 5 loosing USB mass storage, iOS 14 a regression in many ways (memory leaks, windows-esque UI, ...)
> So far the scientific literature has not established any conclusion on the risk of ADE with respect to COVID-19 vaccines.

This may be understating the evidence. Derek Lowe cites this paper[1] with the conclusion "did any of these show ADE hints during their development? And are any of them showing signs of it now? The short answers: they did not."

Ok, I don't think HN points work that way (might be wrong, and don't really care). I meant points in a generic sense. But if you read back in our thread, I think you'll find that I'm contributing substance in every comment and you're just attacking. But I do now completely agree with you: This is is a waste of time.
... except the cost of the ICE drivetrain, certainly to hit 40% (that takes turbos and other complexities to the basic ICE, correct?) is about to lose to the cost of the EV drivetrain. It's basically at price parity based on what I see out of Tesla and what Lucid/Rivian/VW/GM are targeting. In three years? Less.

And a decade from now? EVs will probably be half the cost of an ICE.

Cleaning an office doesn't take 40 hours a week, so it makes more sense that a cleaning company hires full time people and contracts with multiple offices.

The alternative is each office hiring individuals for a few hours worth each week and dealing with high turnover rate because the cleaners would surely prefer other jobs with more hours than doing the administrative work of a cleaning company on top of the cleaning work for no extra pay.
It won't be over until we stop caring, accept the risk, and move on with our statistically slightly shorter lives.
Like the article mentioned, GCC, clang & icc all have the __cleanup__ attribute that can call a destructor for when a value moves out of scope. (And works pretty much how it would in C++). MVSC is really the only one missing it of the major compilers, but it doesn't implement half the actual standard anyways.

__cleanup__ might be a C extension, but it's pretty widely supported. If you really wanted to have it be a code block instead of a function, in plain C, then you could possibly also use clang or GCC's lambda-ish extensions.
Was there anything about the implicit trust of government sources news media seem to have?

I'm always annoyed when the media sites "anonymous intelligence sources" for a story. You're telling me that you trust spies to tell you the truth? Spies are probably pretty damn good at lying.

The media will cite the Pentagon with a straight face completely forgetting its lies to the whole world about WMDs.

And finally somehow both the Army and Pentagon both agreeing on a version of a story means the story is verified. It's not like they communicate with each other and have the same objective!

Is that not problematic? You make an extraordinary claim, but then "there is no time for me to back it up." But there was time to make the claim, and this is ultimately the problem. You have just accepted out of hand that it is truth and want others to accept it.

Why should I trust anything you say, then? I don't doubt that there are biases, they're certainly are. But you're expecting us to just accept it out of hand.
> No, it does not.

Yes, it does.

Let's take NYC as an example. At median rents for a one bedroom apartment, living in Queens instead of Manhattan saves approximately 1K USD a month, which equates to 60K USD over five years.

Going with an annual Metro card costs 1.5K USD, while a loan payment on a BWM 3 series costs approximately 7.4K USD. Over five years, the Metro card saves 29.5K USD. This is before you factor in parking, insurance, taxes, and fuel.

Together, living in a slightly cheaper, but still expensive area and using public transportation saves you 90K USD over five years.

You can eat a lot of overpriced food for 90K.

I think this is the point. It's hard to take a "journalist" seriously when there's so many obvious points of amateurism.

The situation where you can choose between one or the other without a huge change in complexity is not common.

I'd say that all of the examples on the article are bad. Rate limiting, circuit breaking and system configuration always happen on the infrastructure. If you do something on code, it will be redundant and not solve the entire problem (and create many more). The opposite applies to call retrial, it always happens on code, and if you do it on the infrastructure, it won't solve the entire problem (and create many more).

Brings back memories of my grandpa. We used to roam around the streets of Kolkata and surprisingly he had a tonne of friends nearby. Just a walk with my grandpa to the local tea store would take 2-3 hours. Because he would be busy with adda. Topics used to range from why Buddhadeb (Chief minister of West Bengal, India ) was not working upto the mark to why Tendulkar is the greatest cricket player alive. Things also used to get heated between people sometimes ( mostly due to differences in political opinion )

Otherwise it used to be chilled out. Me, Dadu ( grandpa in bengali ), warm cup of tea and indistinguishable chattering used to be a big part of my summer breaks.
One of the blog posts I'd like to write but probably never will is an examination of the logical fallacies that are fallacies under an Aristotelian, true/false view of the world, but are valid under a Bayesian point of view.

A simple one is that absence of evidence is evidence of absence. It's a "fallacy" because absence of evidence is correctly not proof of absence, so in an Aristotelian framework where something is either true or false, it is indeed a fallacy to claim that absence of evidence proves absence. However, from a Bayesian perspective it is indeed evidence, though one must be careful in how ones works the math to determine how strong that evidence is. Sometimes it's so weak as to be irrelevant, but sometimes it can be overwhelming.

The key to this are really online advertising prices. Mind that 2009 – not that long ago and when online news were already much a thing, but paywalls were commonly not – was the all-time high in news paper revenues. From which follows:

1) Get advertising prices up again, this may also revitalise private publishing (e.g., the nowadays mostly vacant blog sphere, which has been extradited to the walled-garden infrastructure of video portals for the better part).

2) At the same time, have restrictions on the visual distraction of those adds (preferably static images) and, whenever possible, integrate them on the originating host/server, to de-incentivise ad-blockers.

3) Voilà, free news for everyone with thriving revenues, and, as a bonus, a blooming online publishing landscape.

Well said. In fact, I've made it a personal rule that if I invite someone out I pick up the tab to simply remove any budget constraint barriers for people spending time with me. Some of the people I most enjoy spending time with are much more budget constrained than I am, but I have no issue with picking up the tab if it lets me have a conversation with them for a few hours in a place where they can be relaxed enough from the stress of their daily life to mutually enjoy it.
I also got downvoted several times (after being upvoted a few times) for a comment pointing out that the USPIS was the first federal law enforcement agency. Brief, factual, relevant, uncontroversial, and downvoted. How strange.

Step on toes by making a provocative comment in one thread, and people on this site will follow you into other threads to downvote completely innocuous comments. This site is a joke, as bad as reddit; don't take it too seriously.

Edit: This comment, six minutes old, on a thread that hasn't been on the front page for a day, has already been downvoted. Do you think it was found and downvoted organically by coincidence, or do you think it has something to do with me making a provocative comment in another thread a few minutes ago at about the same time? I think it's the later. Hello, friend from the covid thread, having fun seething at me?
The best results I've seen are analogous to a modern version of rotoscoping. It involves creating a fully animated 3d model of a person and then using a well trained deep fake of the actor's face in combination.

Youtuber Shamook did just that with the finale of the Mandalorian season 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrHXA2cSpNU

He actually got a job with ILM out of it. The future of CGI actors will probably involve a fusion of techniques like this in order to get it right.
I'm in the US, but I won't be moving to a hotter market during the pandemic for sure. If your personal wages are "through the roof", good job, as I'm always for general upward pressure on wages. But the original statement was that dev wages were through the roof. Moving to get them is a new, originally unspecified condition that the statistics don't bear out.

To revise your original statement, "dev wages can be through the roof, if you live in one of a few hot markets that exist globally at least". To me that's like saying, "need more money? Just become the CEO". :)

A significant part of news media has devolved into a curse for humanity. Their main objective is getting eyeballs, so their headlines have become anxiety-inducing. Anxious people check the news more often.

News literacy is critical for future students. I think one thing I learned in middle school and not sure they even teach anymore is advertising techniques, like:

Bandwagon

Testimonial

Emotional Appeal

Humor

Anti-bandwagon

Slogan

Glittering Generality

Product Comparison

Repetition

Weasel Words

Understanding the basic construction of ads can help people understand when they are "being sold something" as opposed to informed.

What you posted is fairly dense and obtuse to someone not in the field...it's technical, and it is abstracted from concrete meaning. So the news article about it used examples. People are now reacting to the examples used in the article, and more examples provided. Rather than the underlying meaning.

> Given the primary example used on the kids, the 2016 election, this seems more about instilling bias under the name "news literacy".

I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this, but their "punchline" conclusion was that "the video came from Russia". Sometimes if something isn't reported in certain countries because of bias it can be reported from other countries, even if the only reason they do so is to make that country look bad. It doesn't mean that the video was fake, or that it didn't show evidence of ballot stuffing.

I am not saying it was true, I haven't seen that particular video and I'm not one that pushes that particular idea and at this point I don't really care anymore. I'm just unimpressed if that's the reason they discounted it. They also talk about fossil fuel companies funding studies about climate change. While this can certainly be nefarious, it's also possible that they are the only ones motivated to study a particular aspect of climate change because no other groups will touch it because of politics.

"Look at the source" is only one piece of the puzzle. I think it's often sought after because it's a good way to dismiss something out of hand.

It would have been better, in my opinion, if they looked through the video and had the kids see if they can come up with other possible reasons for the actions they are seeing in the video other than "ballot stuffing", and then come up with ways they could try to validate those hypotheses and assign a "truthiness" rating to it. It doesn't matter who publishes a video if it's actually showing what it says its showing.
