There is a huge difference between advocating for the right to use drugs freely and intentionally manipulating the medical and legal system so you can sell a highly addictive drug for truckloads of money.
You are on the wrong forum my friend.

Austrians and the HN community talk past each other because it's not easy to get the latter (which I am a part of) to see that their large salaries in FAANG companies are partly due to the Fed largesse.
Not the OP, but I'm guessing the larger point is that if you're pulling $400k writing adware/spyware/analytics, you're at least complicit in oligarchs concentrating their power, control, and ownership of your personal data.

Should you (not you, dear poster, but the hypothetical FAANG employee) be put against the wall? no. But you also have no right to complain about inequality or encroachments on freedom or privacy if you're actively working to aid those ends.

You either quit, or you shut up. Those are the options.

Breast cancer isn't political. But there's continuing debate in the US medical establishment over the proper way to screen for it -- how to test, how frequently, at what age range, what constitutes a positive result, and how should the doctor follow up if the test is positive? The recommended answers to these questions seem to change every few years, and the substantiation behind the answers is often inconsistent.

The same issues bedevil prostate cancer screening.
Whitelists don't work.

As an attacker I just have the bootloaders of my malicious devices advertize the USB IDs of whitelisted devices like Apple Keyboards.

The computer has no way of knowing it is not authentic. There is no signing or certification for USB devices.

The only solution is a kernel that can place all newly attached USB devices in a queue for manual approval.

This is what USBGuard and QubesOS both do. The Linux kernel and udev have native support to hook USB devices early making this easy.

It means no one can drive by plug something in when your computer is locked. You will get a popup asking if you want to give some device other than the keyboard you booted with access to behave as a keyboard .

Also the majority of attacks I have seen in the wild attacking production systems were via endpoint compromises.

If your laptop has remote access to said high value datacenter, then your laptop is a high value target.

Note though that laptops have a nice advantage for this threat model as most have built in PS/2 trackpad and mouse which can let you approve external keyboards/mice etc.
> the conclusion isn't that the job is impossible

Oh no, that could be the conclusion. Ever study quantum physics? Lots of people have tried to come up with some kind of model with inner "hidden" variables that tries to make HEP physics into a completely deterministic, almost classical, theory. By your logic, if we just trained and AI with enough subatomic interactions, it would eventually be able to predict with 100% accuracy the results of a quantum process.

That's utter bunk.

Markets are the same way: people think there must be some rules that can be worked out to make them 100% predictable, when in reality there is an element randomness that makes cryptographers jealous. It will never be possible to predict the next number in a random process. If you flip a coin 99 times and get 99 heads, you still can't predict what the 100th toss will be (and before someone "well ackshually"s with something about an unfair coin: don't)
About 90% of my interaction with Twitter is is clicking a link from HN. When I do so, there's about a 1/3 chance that tweet doesn't load.
> we would have no way to evaluate the systems' accuracy because no other non-statistical system can understand the input data

No, we can always evaluate the accuracy based on our current human-understandable images and scans and biopsies.
Why would we rely on a pharmaceutical company's marketing department to give us unbiased data on the safety of a drug? This is what studies and the FDA are for. If we're letting marketing departments dictate drug doseage then something is severely broken in the system.

> (per a couple examples in the article, girls being told that math and science was too hard for them)

There was also rigging medical school entrance exams:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-46568975
But nothing of what you quoted of the article has anything to do with qubits, let alone entangled ones? Again, even if it's accurate and useful, it would be a way to provide space (and maybe energy?) efficient storage, not quantum computation. This is not surprising, because living cells have very different requirements from synthetic computers!

And taking an "outside" view, it's certainly not the case that humans are particularly good at solving problems where the only efficient algorithm we know of runs on a quantum computer... so even if there were any interesting quantum computation going on, it's not clear why that would be needed for AGI.

Going back to "cells are not computers," there are some (apparently good) arguments that plant photosynthesis relies in some essential way on nonclassical electron behavior to achieve its high efficiency for the purposes for which plants use it (biomass production), but that doesn't mean we can't achieve higher performance for the purposes of energy production with solar panels using a much simpler process. Even if you believe that the complexity in living organisms is mostly essential (which I do!) it doesn't mean much for the design of machines for humans to use.

I agree with you that the current methods for trying to achieve AGI are dubiously related to how actual brains work and probably aren't going to be successful without some major changes, but that's a very different point!

> You should really examine why people want to “defend” borders. It’s mostly racism and classism. The most effective way to defend your borders is to improve the lives of the people across the border. Yet… does anyone advocate for that? Nope… We undermine their governments and extract their resources to plunder from them instead. We create instability and allow violent regimes to be created and prosper.

You call your opponents racist and classist and then quickly change the subject to US foreign policy.

The burden of proof is on you to demonstrate that your opponents are motivated by race and class rather than peace and the rule of law.

I've examined my motives and have no trouble sleeping at night. What are your motives? Why do you need to calumniate people who disagree with you?

I generally agree with you but I'm not sure about this. IME, the media/government complex has done a very good job of convincing people that the primary cause they should be fighting about and talking about is identity politics, not class.

Absolutely shameless plug: If you'd like a cleaner looking, 3d printed solution for attaching a filter to a pretty standard box fan, in this fashion, we sell some over on Etsy (use the coupon code HACKERNEWS, 20% off) [1]

Does it work better than duct tape? Probably not. Duct tape does a great job of creating an airtight seal, whereas with these clamps there is a small gap between the fan and the filter. But, it does make it easier to replace the filter, looks clean, and we've ran tests with an AQI meter; definitely has a positive impact.

That's the neat thing about statistical AI techniques: you give it a training set with two conclusions, yes and no. It will then give you results of yes or no, with absolute certainty.

I'd be interested to learn how many biological neurons it takes to approximate one artificial neuron.

Mathematically, over some finite interval, approximating y=sin(x) using a Taylor series, or approximating y=x**n using a Fourier series, can both require a large number of terms. But this doesn't imply that a sine/cosine function is more computationally complex than a monomial, or vice versa.

> There is the perception that criminals are not being punished

The "perception" is that criminals with power, wealth, and connections aren't being punished, and that's because they aren't. After Enron our justice department lost whatever appetite it had for meaningful criminal prosecution of corporate execs, there's even a book about it:

https://www.amazon.com/Chickenshit-Club-Department-Prosecute...

People who get put away for white collar crimes are punished because they stole from someone wealthier or more powerful than them. Hardly anything is systematically being done about "white collar" crimes affecting ordinary disempowered people, which is why millions of workers in the U.S. experience wage theft each year.
In my case, you basically just take some code like this:

const renderEl = flex("UserList", [
label("User", ["Alice"]),
label("User", ["Bob"]),
]);

In NativeScript, you would have these functions create those types of UI elements. For web, they'd probably produce divs and spans.

Ofc, there will be certain elements that are native only, or require really special stuff to create.

Trespassing charges would be thrown out immediately if they were ever presented to a jury. The police exercised apparent authority when they ushered the crowd in, giving them permission and the right to enter.

Vandalism would only apply to those who stole or defaced something, certainly not the majority.

And neither of these charges justifies holding a political prisoner for 6+ months without trial, as the US government has done.
The designers of the videogame Civilization at Firaxis said they had a 3-thirds design budget for each sequel:

* 1/3 you keep the same, keep it familiar for those who know previous games

* 1/3 you improve on iteratively, gotta make things better someplace

* 1/3 is completely new, like the borders in Civ4, or the Hex grid in Civ5. This is the risky stuff

I think it's a nice and easy heuristic, ensuring you have a stable foundation while offering opportunities for creativity, and it can apply to many other fields than game design.
Early in my career I was a junior developer on a team using SVN. I knew git and used a git plugin that let it work with SVN. I would often talk about various branches and things I was doing locally in my repository and the other developers would get concerned, because making a branch is SVN is a big deal, and here I am, it seems, making tons of branches. It was fun because when I would finally upstream my work, it would dump a dozen commits into the SVN history all within the same second. It was kind of nice having the linear history forced by SVN though.
It is ridiculous. And more ridiculous is to bring it up. What sane adult would mention it? Everyone knows it’s an unwritten rule. Let me downvote you for saying it out loud.

It depends on the particular circumstances.

In the situations where FOSS wouldn’t work well for end users, there’s almost never a technological barrier to implementation, but tangentially related issues of ownership, control, expectation, obligation, law, or expediency.

A lot of these situations pop up when a system consists of hardware, software, and information, and users that are all from different parties. Sometimes someone other than the user has a legitimate interest in a system.

Marx and Lenin's conception of the state was as machinery designed to aid the oppression of one class at the behest of another. Notions within our legal and justice system in the U.S. make much more sense viewed through this lens -- that the U.S. and most so-called liberal democracies are "dictatorships of the bourgeoisie."
Simply liberal as in "liberal democracy", which I'm using in the normal way, since the argument goes that that's the system and the general state of things that the 2nd amendment is vital to preserving.

Again, I'm actually open to other forms of argument for gun ownership, and despite how my posts here have probably looked I consider measures to limit private firearms ownership unimportant, at best—I just don't find the particular position that they're extremely important to the preservation of liberal democracy such that one might reason "of course Australia is turning authoritarian—if more people there could legally own guns, that wouldn't be happening", compelling.

I think the problem might be in the interplay of how many allications/daemons already try to drop privileges by running as a user after doing the few things they need those privileges for (like binding to a low port), and if you don't even need those privileges, you don't even need to start it as root, and your container has well known security properties.

If you're running rootless and using namespaces to allow non-root users access to previously root-only kernel APIs, then a bunch of prior assumptions may no longer hold, and there's a new attack space available to target that has always existed, but was of no use previously to exploit.

No, that part of the ruling was in the background facts section of the case. (see https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.52...)

The crux of the matter was this, quoted from discussion portion of the ruling (aka, the part where the judge explains the reasoning behind their decision):
"On those undisputed facts, in 2020 Locast made far more money from user charges than was necessary to defray its costs of maintaining and operating its service," Stanton wrote."

The copyright exemption for non-profits explicitly limits revenue to the costs of providing the service, and no more. (Note that the way the exemption is written, this means current and past costs associated with the service, not prospective future costs such as those associated with expansion. Locast could have expanded; they simply aren't allowed to raise the money to pay for the expansion until after they have actually expanded. This is a deliberate and intended result of the law, which is intended to limit the size and growth of non-profit re-broadcasters while still allowing their existence.)

Locast could have kept operating, by reducing the donations it collected. Shutting down was entirely its own decision.

This is actually why it isn't ideal for AI to tackle. The fact is there's no market for the product.

Right now much of the mammogram reading is extremely straight forward. Radiologists can fly through those exams with high quality, especially when you consider the macros they have setup that allow them to write most of the report with with a two second voice command.

This is one of the biggest things radiologists complain about- from their perspective most AI is solving problems that aren't actually useful to radiologists. I think the companies that will do best are the ones that augment radiologists with a focus on making them more accurate and efficient, rather than trying to cut them out of the loop (I'm a bit bias though as my previous company, Rad AI, is taking the augmentation approach and it has worked out rather well).
I personally use doh_blacklist with around 170ips, where I block outgoing traffic for known (publicly and not so) internet reachable doh resolvers. There is no problem(+) - everything works perfectly.

ipset create blist_doh hash:ip hashsize 1024

for ip in `cat /etc/bin/blist_doh.txt`; do ipset add blist_doh "$ip"; done

iptables -A <insert some iptables placement specific to your outgoing/forwarded traffic> -m set --match-set blist_doh dst -j DROP -m comment --comment 'SPY:all ext DoH BLOCKED'

Still, as of 2021, doh rule is around 2% traffic logged compared to my other rule, where I simply block outgoing 53/udp (except my resolver). a LOT of your devices ignore your dhcp dns settings and try to circumvent it going directly to shady 8.8.8.8 etc.
