Strength doesn't come into the picture with monkeys. They attack by biting and scratching and often from hidden places like tree tops or rooftops. In many parts of India, the dogs are afraid to even bark at them.

That said, adult monkeys are pretty big (3.5-4 feet) and aren't all that light weight.

Anecdotally, a baby monkey fell into our neighbors house through bars on the roof and a group of almost 100 monkeys surrounded the house and took them all hostage till the baby was given back.

I think the concept that animal can be moral / immoral is already a philosophical subject. See the book "Can Animals Be Moral?" for reference.

And in order to say that these monkeys are evil, you must first prove that they can be moral.

The worse is that I started to stop contributing and caring for Wikipedia once the nagging fundraising started to be a regular thing.

Because it does not make any sense to pretend to do something so that it can stay free and ad free, when half of the year there is constantly the fundraising banner that takes half of the screen of any displayed page.

And the bad thing is that a lot of people are doing the same thing.

Indeed, even within the memories of many living people that the author can speak to right now are two events: cold war and Cuban missile crisis where the world really could have ended properly. And the second world war when seventy million humans died and countless others had irreversible damage to them.

This kind of apocalyptic thinking is also damaging to the birth rate "why have children in such a world". The irony here is that is literally how the world can end.

There's also a fallacy of the hinge of history. Everyone thinks they are living in the most important of times ever and they have always done throughout history.

Question is why all these office workers have jobs, and why they pay so much.
There seem to be two camps here:

- Bose is an evil megacorp who recklessly endangered its customers by selling dangerous and poorly designed products.

- Accidents happen and when a device explodes on your head you should accept it as a fact of life and move on. The chemical burns are nothing and OP is a pussy.

I think the reality may be different. My take on it is that Li batteries possess inherent dangers and it is incumbent upon manufacturers to take reasonable steps to mitigate the dangers while informing their consumers of the risk. Unfortunately, even when presented with the risks, most folks are unable to comprehend the probabilities and consequences and will nearly always choose convenience, features and value over the avoidance of danger. It seems we, as a society(not as individuals, as some will surely object) have chosen Li technology and deemed it safe enough to deploy ubiquitously.

I hope a review of this incident will shed light on the safety practices followed by Bose and will inform future engineers of unforeseen risks, giving us all safer, convenient devices.

Overall I find the discussions in this thread unbecoming of the types of folks I thought frequented HN. I hope we can all strive to elevate the dialogue and treat each other with a moderate amount of respect.
Excellent and measured comment. There is also the consideration that discussing what we now would call the “sexual orientation” of men at that place and time is ahisotrical: “Renaissance society did not have the concept of firm sexual orientation that exists today and many men were in practice bisexual.”:

It's always the people on fixed income and the poor who have it worse when inflation strikes.

Ironically, the politicians who purport to represent these groups often enact policies that make inflation worse.
Just the amount of rules we have to be cognizant of for a seemingly mundane everyday life is pretty overwhelming. 10 kinds of insurance, 20 types of taxes, what thoughts and ideas you can express and to whom, what's good and bad for you to eat, investment guidelines, HOAs, correct pronouns, and so so much more especially now with covid.

I think we feel like victims because modern life is basically walking along a tight thread of avoiding becoming a victim. The reality of that is if we live in a space surrounded on all sides by prisons heuristically it's not that much different than actually being in one.

> We do need some paired data

A couple of under-explored rich sources of training data on actions are videos and code. Videos, showing how people interact with objects in the world to achieve goals, might also come with captions and metadata, while code comes with comments, messages and variable names that relate to real world concepts, including millions of tables and business logic.

Maybe in the future we will add rich brain scans as an alternative to text. That kind of annotation would be so easy to collect in large quantities, provided we can wear neural sensors. If it's impractical to scan the brain, we can wear sensors and video cameras and use eye tracking and body tracking to train the system.

I am optimistic that language modelling can become the core engine of AI agents, but we need a system that has both a generator and a critic, going back and forth for a few rounds, doing multi-step problem solving. Another must is to allow search engine queries in order to make more efficient and correct models, not all knowledge must be burned into the weights.

IMO they don't need to be "culling," which would imply more "humane" means of killing like rifle shots or poisons. They need to go out and kill some monkeys in full sight of the other monkeys, in a personal and ugly way that the moneys understand. Swords and clubs time. Hang bits of the victims where the rest of them hang out.

This might be a good thread to raise this: a related EPUB library (libepub/ebook-tools[0]) is written in C and hasn't seen a release in 9 years. I tried to fuzz it once and reported dozens of crashes upstream[1], but it's unmaintained - no response.

Packages like okular, baloo, basket use it so it's semi-popular. Anyone has suggestions on what to do next?

Ask HN: Are you redesigning your job to be asynchronous and remote?
Or rather, can you?

With Omicron, it seems onbvious to me we will be on a treadmill of SARS like viruses that get more capable of spreading, while less (I hope) deadly. We will watch evolution in action, but have to shutdown more or less to prevent waves of people hitting hospitals all at once.

So basically COVID is here for years to come.

And we (yes, privileged knowledge workers with nice jobs) have to adjust.

For about the first six months I still had good relationships with all the people I used to meet every day in physical real life. And I felt comfortable reaching out and asking things on their expertise and what they were working on. But as time goes on they move, what they are doing changes and I don't get to keep up. Two years later and I have great relationships with those I work directly with but barely understand what anyone else is doing.

Fixing this should be a top priority of every company- but in the meantime what are we individually doing?

Any ideas?

Those aren’t cases of “ordinary individuals” and thus don’t apply, but yes the general principle also implies the special case that ordinary non-Americans shouldn’t have to parse American law just to go about their lives.
The plastic case almost certainly contains more energy than the battery.
But dimensioned quantities are meaningless without units. are you saying c has a value of 1.803e+12? Or that it has a value of 1? There’s a big difference between using furlongs per fortnight and speed of light as your units for speed. By saying “1/c s” rather than “1 m/c” he was just plain wrong and certainly in no position to be smug about it.
If you're going to go that far, maybe they are just trying to encourage the dogs to self-regulate.
> If the algorithm turned out to be a giant lookup table, it's an "it". If the algorithm contained an obvious model of self, it's a "who".

It seems to be that (at least a naive understanding of those two possibilities) leaves a large middle ground where an language model isn't a lookup table but doesn't have a model of self.
To me it sounds more like a straw that broke the camel's back moment. They've had enough and they can't take it anymore and are lashing out in a madness of grief and rage

Possibly dumb answer: If everything else was moving at a constant velocity and we were slowing down, wouldn't the things on the other side of us appear to be accelerating towards us?

My understanding is that basically everything is moving away from us (presumably our reputation precedes us).
> That's an assumption. The contrary view is that language is just part of the I/O system, not where the hard work gets done.

> Animals with very limited language capabilities have the ability to run their own lives, and to some extent manipulate their environment. Systems built from large language databases don't have that.

I'm tempted to agree with this in some capacity, language is probably just one expression of thought, much like how some people have an internal narration going on during their lives, while others think in abstract concepts that aren't necessarily expressed in language.

Here's the first article DuckDuckGo turned up on the subject, i bet someone can share a better one: https://www.iflscience.com/brain/people-with-no-internal-mon...

Furthermore, there are people who don't have the capacity to visualize things in their "mind's eye" either (aphantasia), which is another curious thing: https://www.sciencefocus.com/the-human-body/aphantasia-life-...

Of course, when you get into it, there are also some niche theories about how language could not only help us express ourselves, but shape our thought (not that dissimilar from the "newspeak" concept in Orwell's 1984): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity

Okay, have you ever been to Ukraine?
What does it mean - looted to the bone?
Why do you think Ukraine is that much different to Russia?

Ukraine GDP is improving from 2016 till now, even with pandemic.
Some industries, like software and agriculture are growing at a great rate.
Yet, some guy who watches Russian TV is painting absurd picture

Again, you don't know how external debt works, debt had nothing to do with collapse of Soviet Union, learn the history of your own country.
Even then, Ukraine has lower debt to GDP ratio then Japan, Italy, Greece, United States, Canada, Spain, France, Belgium, United Kingdom, Israel...

Something that Russians tell themselves every day - how everything is very bad in Ukraine, how it is going down. Sure.

Oh, you observe the 'drame', with your all-seeing eye, fucking cockroach.
1. Join a book club. Even with just two other friends. It holds you accountable and will force you to read most days. I often find myself aimlessly watching YouTube and reading Reddit comments at 8:30pm. It’s that bored stage of the daily social scroll where I’m not getting any novelty or pleasure. Then I realize I can read my book instead.

2. If you have a significant other, trying reading a short story out loud at night. My wife and I did this for a while and it’s awesome.
The CDC makes it hard to find the data but it's at least hundreds per day in the US.

For example in Texas, from Jan-Oct of this year 8 percent of covid deaths were fully vaccinated: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2021/11/09/texas-unvac...

Most of that time period was before Delta or Omicron were dominant, not to mention the effectiveness of the vaccine wanes greatly over a ~6 month period, so the situation today is likely higher than 8 percent.
> Is anyone suggesting we ought to devise a pharmaceutical treatment for broken behavioral patterns, income inequality, and mass production of processed foods?

Is it the most effective treatment? Then yes.

That does not preclude also trying to avoid the problem in the first place. But fixing behavioural patterns is one of the things we are worst at. Fixing diabetes won't fix all of the other issues of a bad diet, so it's not like the incentive to improve peoples diets will go out the window, though it might reduce the individual incentives for some people.

But that's true for all kinds of things - we can't withhold treatment options because some people will take the availability of treatment as a reason not to be cautious.
Or you know having your tribe so convinced that they impeach the sitting president twice. People were calling for impeachment since day one.

I doubt that. Try shooting an arrow at a crow (obviously not killing it) or throw a stone at a group of monkeys the next time chance presents it self. Not a good idea. One of my childhood nemesis were a group of crows from a tree nearby at which I shot an arrow with a home made toy bow (none were even hit). Those things harassed me for months before eventually forgetting (forgiving?) the incident :)
Perhaps revenge is just a survival instinct that humans sometimes try to suppress through "logic".
“Not much harder” for the technical person maybe, but for the nontechnical person who doesn’t even know what information their software stores or for how long much less the requirements to appease GDPR, it’s much easier to block and get on with life especially considering what little legitimate EU-originating traffic their site probably received when the decision to geoblock was made.

How does a nontechnical user with little knowledge of GDPR know if he needs to display a cookie popup (he may not even know what a cookie is or whether or not his software uses them or in what capacity). What about email addresses in user accounts? Is he now collecting private information and making himself culpable for expunging that information on request? He may not even know how to expunge in the case of log files or other artifacts. “Not much harder” my arse.
Great... Now even the monkeys have a functioning justice system and we don't.
They're sending requests to websites to see how they behave, not to request information.

If you called up companies' sales lines to ask for prices, that's just gathering facts.

If you called up companies' sales lines to see what happens when you ask them for prices for things they don't sell, or to see if they're willing to accept a bribe, or to see if they respond with different prices when you lie to them about who you are, you're researching human behavior.

In this case, they are testing what procedures, if any, companies have in place for handling CCPA and GDPR law, by posing as nonexistent customers and making potentially bogus and misleading requests under the terms of those laws.

This is like performing research on retail refund practices by going into a bunch of shops and seeing how they handle being asked for a refund for an item you didn't buy from there in the first place.

There's a more ethical way to do that study, though, which is to actually buy something from the store first, then go back and try to refund it.

Similarly, there's a more ethical way to discover how websites handle CCPA/GDPR requests, which is to use the website first, and determine in the course of that what possible information about you the website should have; then, within the terms of your rights under CCPA/GDPR, to contact them and make reasonable and legitimate requests to see if/how they are able to handle them.
One important caveat to all this is that the gravitational redshift for a galaxy or galaxy cluster is an incredibly tiny effect. For example, the mean gravitational redshift for massive galaxy clusters has been measured (e.g., link below), and has a value of ~ 10 or 15 km/s. This can be compared with the typical motions of galaxies within a cluster (dispersions of ~ 1000 km/s) and the cosmological redshift of the clusters (for the sample in the paper I linked to, it's equivalent to an average Doppler shift of ~ 50,000 km/s).

In order to make that measurement, the authors had to combine redshift measurements for ~ 20,000 galaxies from ~ 2,500 different clusters; as they note, it's impossible to detect the effect for just a single cluster: "... even assuming that every galaxy in a cluster could be spectroscopically measured, there are simply too few galaxies to allow the statistical detection of a non-zero gravitational redshift."

So while it's technically true that adding dark matter to a galaxy would increase its gravitational redshift and thus its total observed redshift, this effect is immeasurably small.

How would humans experience revenge differently? What makes you think revenge isn’t an instinct in humans?

I recall reading (the book escapes me), that just about all animals employ a Tit-for-Tat mechanism for dealing with other animals of the same species that cheat.

Revenge is a very useful social tool, especially against other species threatening their offspring.
if a monkey tries to hurt my dogs, i will fight to death for them. mentally they are my children.
Why are people surprised and shocked by this? If a pack of stray dogs killed a human child, we would exterminate them without further thought, and we would call it "animal control." Even when an otherwise protected species like a bear in a national park kills a human, we make an exception and kill that animal.
I totally see what you mean. For the most part, I have no trouble deciphering the garbled equations on the Kindle based on context and general understanding and subsequent description. When I do struggle, I tend to fall back to the PDF to clear the confusion up.
There's no mention of frequency shifting or anything like it in the parent post. For amplification of certain frequencies in a signal via simplistic noise cancellation, just take a combination of a sine wave at 10kHz and a sine wave at 1kHz, offset it by 0.00005s (call it signal processing delay) and subtract it from the original. The 1kHz signal is basically (noise-)cancelled and the 10kHz signal is doubled in strength.

Not that any of this is relevant to the original problem.
