Yea, this is pretty much my experience. Just kinda… don’t really see them even when they’re there.

Still use ad blockers a lot of the time but that’s cause of the insidious tracking not cause I’m against advertising as a concept.

I was 30 when I got COVID in October of 2020. I spent 6 months recovering from the illness with symptoms ranging from myocarditis to Reynauds syndrome. As I type this message, pain erupts in my right lung as I inhale. If I had the vaccine available to me at that time maybe I wouldn’t be experiencing a constant reminder of my illness every time I inhale.
Thank you for putting this together. Some parts need update, but the template is pretty comprehensive.

An aside:

The screenshot I got of your conversation with (Dave) was, indeed very well done and was both informative and actionable. You responded to us very quickly and with a high level of professionalism.

Further, participating here in this HN discussion is noteworthy and impressive.

FWIW, we immediately complained to he.net about the bad actor elsewhere in that /24 ... we'll see.
It's 1.2 billion light years away, and the problem seems to be about how to actually measure things. And not worrying about gamma radiation bursts wiping us out along with our local galactic neighborhood or the GPS system failing.

This doesn’t seem like a genuine discourse, but purchase suppression can occur in batches. So that purchase data may not get fed back into all the advertising systems for days/weeks if it’s using a poor set up.

For example, sometimes for suppression brands literally just export a csv of customers and upload it to google. If your marketing guy does it once a week..

I’d assume eBay’s doesn’t work like that, but it’s possible. Also possible they just don’t suppress recently bought items !

Every time there's a thread on HN about advertising, there's at least a few comments (there are already some in this thread) that claim, loudly, "Ads don't work on me! I never buy things based on ads!".

The thing is, they're all wrong. Advertising is a trillion-dollar business because it works. The human mind is susceptible to suggestion, and it's been demonstrated over and over again for basically as long as we've had civilization.

What is ALSO true, however, is that ad dollars are exceeeeeedingly inefficiently deployed. Which is why you experience things like weird retargeting on things you've already boight. I experience this too -- there are several brands that for which I'm a happy paying customer and I still see their ads 1-2 times a day.

It's unfortunately rare that the big companies get these things right. Their efforts are mostly amateurish compared to the community provided solutions. Just look at the recently added N64 games on Switch with high input lag and plenty of graphical issues. Or the notoriously poor Game Boy Player software for the GameCube that now fortunately has a far superior community supplied rewrite. The Wii virtual console was decent, but remember how dark all the games on it looked? And then of course Nintendo made things worse on the Wii U. I think Nintendo actually knows less about their own hardware and software than the community that develops emulators, FPGA cores, upscalers etc. I rather give my money to these people than renting / buying the same poorly emulated 20 games from Nintendo again and again. But Raspberry Pis and MiSTers aren't exactly newbie friendly plug & play solutions. And the stuff from Analogue is too pricey, always sold out and out-of-the box requires original cartridges. Not really clear what a good recommendation for the non-technical crowd is.
It is fascinating, and I don't think most people appreciate, just how early life formed on earth. Basically as soon as the lava cooled down and earth wasn't absolutely hostile life popped up.
> but any form of "entitled" is a hateful term

It's a valid description of an attitude which is often quite overtly held, and is ultimately a lot more damaging to the "incel" themself than anyone they might want to interact with. Using a term as strong as "hateful" in this context seems like a thought-terminating-cliche which does little to address the problem.

> If you could tell people "make this small change and it will make a small improvement in your situation" there would be a clear answer, but you can't.

Why not? There are plenty of feasible approaches; the main problem is that there's no structured, widely-supported effort to collectively raise awareness about their potential benefits. The education system has a valid role to play here.

There are lots of companies that have no idea what they’re doing in terms of targeting and are just throwing away marketing dollars. The platforms are just extremely accessible to people with no knowledge of efficient targeting methods. They said, it can be done in a way that is extremely effective if you know what you’re doing.

Kind of a minor point of the article, but the Sam Altman tweet it quotes is something else

Some caution is warranted here. AGN have “red-noise” variability that can produce signals that look periodic. There have been lots of similar claims that fizzled. Thankfully this one will become clear soon.
Hah, that's cute. They must have also hired some police officers to drive them; visited last summer on my boat and the island was run by a couple of mobsters on one of the other yachts moored there. Hadn't been any cops on the island since the start of the pandemic.

My first thought was that it's a bug in the deoptimizer, i.e. the JIT compiler dynamically switches back to a deoptimized form to throw away invalid optimizations (or so it it thinks) to apply new optimizations which are more relevant to the current load/usage patterns. [0]

I think I've seen a bug report once about this deoptimization/optimization process happening in an infinite loop, but why would it happen only under Docker on Linux, but not Mac? Perhaps, the deoptimizer relies on heuristics which depend on the current environment.

I often wonder how various products sort out on this question because while this example makes sense, other ones would not. A common example is ladders. I might buy more than one because you need two lengths, but I can't imagine many people are frequent return customers for ladders the way they may be for blinds, and I can't think of any instances where they would be back in the market for a ladder that are also realistic (e.g. probably not a lot of people buying all their friends new ladders).

I'm familiar with Jepsen. Most consultants may not be willing to lie, but they'll take care not to mention what you pay them not to mention. If this work was done by anyone else they'd probably say something like "performance was not evaluated because the contract only covers correctness", but no, Aphyr has to dissect the false marketing in detail. And Radix had the balls to hire him presumably knowing that this is what he does.

> While you've made valid points for consideration about the blue tribe's blindspots, you're riffing off a different definition of anti-social than I used.

I know—my point is that you’re using a quite liberal sense of what’s “anti-social.”

> You're talking about larger appreciation of social conformity, where I'm talking about creating immediate conflict.

During her confirmation hearing, Judge Ketanji Jackson Brown claimed that she “wasn’t aware” that the Christian school where she was a board member espoused traditional views on gender and abortion. Why did a Black woman feel the need to not only clarify her own views, but actively disassociate herself from an organization that is completely normal for a Black woman to be associated with? Why did she need to imply that she might have acted differently had she known that a Christian school affiliated with a Black baptist church taught traditional Christian doctrine (as if that was a surprise?) You don’t think it was because of the threat of conflict from the activist left?

> Furthermore, US society is deeply rooted in individualism and so professing individualism is not leftist.

The US is more individualist than say China, sure. But most of the US, from the Puritan-descended WASP northeast, to the Midwest, to the South, never struck me as especially individualist. The west coast, sure, and maybe Colorado or Arizona. Recall, the US is the most religious developed country in the world—in terms of how many people pray daily, it ranks up there with Iran. The rhetoric of rugged pioneer individualism yields to communalism pretty readily in most of the country. In the small Iowa town where my wife went to high school, sports practices were all scheduled to allow kids to also attend church youth groups.
Ads don't work on me because I block all ads*. I sent through my wife's Instagram account earlier today (with her consent of course) and the amount of ads is mind boggling. Sometimes it's not easy to figure out what's an ad and what's not.

* where I can. I still struggle with "sponsored" content, or fake review sites. It's becoming harder and harder to figure out what isn't an ad, and I hate it. If I see a good review, I don't know if it isn't an ad. If I see a bad review, I don't know it's not a competitor's doing.
that's an excellent test.

Saving disk space isn’t nearly as exciting as saving CPU cache space which is much more precious. That means that something like libc will almost always be in cache from something calling it.
I was hesitant to read this because Rogan has not been censored for years of racism sexism bigotry and covid misinformation -- he's been promoted extensively by corporations and prob the US government specifically because of these views.

And censorship by private orgs is not the same as censorship by the government.

If you talk about censorship or cancel culture, you have to start with censorship of opinions which literally can't be heard on any major radio or tv stations anywhere in America.

Once you start there, then drum my ears about poor Joe's censorship problems.

If he gets censored anymore he'll likely be POTUS.

All that said, the article makes a good point -- deadly covid misinformation (and other actions and non-actions) have poured out of the US government for years now.

Fauci is my favorite liar to hate. The fact that trump hated him is not a reason to keep this killer around. He's a career politician who never had to win a vote to hold office -- he should have been shitcanned long ago.
The fact that this article even needed to be written says a lot about the state of politics in America.

I don't think I will ever wrap my head around the fact that there are politicians who seem to sincerely believe that the best way to decrease poverty is to give tax cuts to the rich and huge corporations, instead of actions like what's described in the article.

Your mental model of mental model doesn't match mine.

I have a mental model of how an elevator works from using them many times, but it's absolutely a simplified understanding of the real mechanisms at work. I believe elevators are fully understandable but I don't need that level of detail to operate one. If it became important to know more about them (say I was in an elevator that malfunctioned) then I'd invest more in making my mental model more correct.

So to me, mental models aren't necessarily intentionally or consciously formed and they can certainly be used for quick simplified reasoning about things that may be in fact well-understood.

I think we should deregulate utilities because if you don't like your utility bill you can easily move to a different neighborhood.

They should be able to charge whatever they want, because if cost is too high, you can simply move.

Will of the People – Music Video
Out on the march in the morning
He called his soldiers down
To take aim at the traitors
To gun those rebels down
Now they'll face the consequences
They held themselves above
This is the will of the people
He said

I wish I could spare them make them see the path
Tempting as that sounds i'll have to pass
I know whats needed for the good of my people
To save them

Out in the dark without warning
He raised his fist above
Led a cry to his people
To tear those statues down
Now they'll face the consequences
They held themselves above
This is the will of the people he said

I wish I could spare them make them see the path
Tempting as that sounds i'll have to pass
I know whats needed for the good of my people
To save them

Drop your arms and march for them
Turn against the wall and bow your head
Speak your last words, let them be said

Out on the march in the morning
He called his comrades down
To take aim at the traitors
To gun those fascists down
Now they'll face the consequences
They held themselves above
This is the will of the people
He said

I wish I could find it the way to restore peace
Blessed were the days we held in vain
I'd give it all for a chance at redemption
As the cycle turns again

You've seen it before now you'll see it begin
You've seen the changes and the blood pooling
If you think it ends here think again

> Because no brand that spends that much on advertising can possibly be price-efficient for their actual product.

I believe that might not necessarily be true, in fact the opposite might be true.

A brand that can afford to spend a large amount of money on advertising cannot afford to sell bad products, as otherwise people would buy it once and then never again.

I've said it before, I'll say it again. The only way this ends with the preservation of encryption as a standard is a bipartisan fappening-style leak of CEOs, politicians, lawyers, etc. Not just sexual content, but intimate content of any and all kinds: financial records, healthcare visits, everyday texts, etc.
No, the difference between creating and asserting hegemony is meaningful though. Much like how what creates a monopoly is different than what happens after a monopoly is created.

Of course they're worried about criminals and terrorists, as well as protests; nobody wants to watch their children die in a home invasion or a burning skyscraper, not even politicians, and nobody wants habitual violent criminals to repeatedly victimize innocent people (unless they identify strongly with the criminals). Peaceful protests can be a powerful instrument for change, including taking away government power, but only when the protestors are willing to die for their cause.

Every day, police officers and prosecutors go to work and spend much of the day worrying about criminals, and a few of them are assigned to worry about terrorists too. When they go home, they have to keep worrying about criminals, too, because their job makes them tempting targets for revenge. I'm not saying people don't seek employment as police officers and prosecutors in order to have free reign for their sadistic urges --- they do --- but that's not the majority and it's never the whole story.

Terrorism can have extremely large effects, just not desirable ones. When the people think the government is doing a bad enough job of protecting them from criminals, terrorists, and protests, that government is at high risk of losing its power entirely, which is something almost nobody in the government wants.

Even anarchists often don't want it, because there's no guarantee that what replaces the government will be better. You may not like the FBI, but if the alternative is the Proud Boys, better the devil you know. Remember who won the elections after the overthrows of Mubarak, the Shah, and the Tsar.

This is incorrect. The service you are sending the mail to (example.com in this case) is receiving that mail. They are then delivering it to the user, or not, depending on the agreement they have with the user. If example.com and a user of example.com have agreed that example.com is responsible for providing spam filtering, then they would be remiss in delivering the email to their customer.

This is the way that email is designed to work and the fact that users and service providers have choice is a feature, not a bug. If you don't want your service provider to do this type of filtering, that is your choice. But you have absolutely no right to say that Alice can't get the service she wants from example.com because it's inconvenient for you.

Edit: and just to head off the inevitable "but what about if it's at work and I can't change providers", the domain and email accounts belong to your employer, not you. You are welcome to work somewhere else if you don't like how they configure their systems.
No, they're not knowingly and deliberately proposing an existential threat to "free society and democracy." That would be political suicide in the US. They're knowingly and deliberately proposing an existential threat to free society and democracy. That's not a paranoid view, just stating the obvious.

no.

well that's wrong.

I don't like any war; some are needed like stopping hitler and their ghoulish goals sure. name a "war" we have won since then. hell name the last time we actually were at war since congress hasn't gone to war many times.

It could easily mean "we will bill you monthly 12 times, for one year, and then stop billing you". It's not immediately clear that it means "we will bill you monthly forever, if you cancel within a year you owe us big money".
