That's a fair point. At the same time:

A) saying moderation is not about free speech is, I think, making a point about free speech. Saying one thing is unrelated to another is making a point about both things.

B) Even framed this way, I think Yishan is either wrong or is missing the point. If you want to do content moderation that better supports free speech, what does that look like? I think Yishan either doesn't answer that question at all, or else implies that it's not solvable by saying the two are unrelated. I don't think that's the case, and I also think his approach of focusing less on the content and more on the supposed user impact just gives more power to activists who know how to use outrage as a weapon. If you want your platform to better support free speech, then I think the content itself should matter as much or more than peoples' reaction to it, even if moderating by content is more difficult. Otherwise, content moderation can just be gamed by generating the appropriate reaction to content you want censored.
Anyone have an idea of how it might measure dehydration? Their web site has no technical info.
I see this a fair amount, and yeah, "just let people block others" is really terrible moderation advice.

Besides the very reasonable expectation almost everyone has that assholes will be banned, the inevitable result of not banning assholes is that you get more and more assholes, because their behavior will chase away regular users. Even some regular users may start acting more like assholes, because what do you do when someone is super combative, aside from possibly leaving? You become combative right back, to fight back.

I'm kinda sceptical that this goes anywhere given that basically they say that whatever copilot outputs is your responsibility to vet that it doesn't break any copyright (obviously that goes against the promise of it and the PR but that's the small print that gets them out of trouble).
> Saddam was a dick, and now he's gone

Yes, but you also need to not support other dicks. Like, why are saudis bombing weddings in Yemen? And for how many years now? They still have Patriots “guarding” their airspace(yes, Iranian drones are dope). My point is, be consistent. If you’re a “world police” then don’t let anyone invade anyone else for any reason.
Restic is rock solid. I have backed TBs servers with it. It never failed.

Last week's Lex Fridman podcast featured Andrej Karpathy (former director of AI at Tesla, founding member of OpenAI) and they discussed this aspect briefly also.

The usefulness of neural networks has not ceased, despite researchers' early ideas and hopes about its biological analogies having somewhat sheared away.
> He should have just stuck to EVs and rockets.

Exactly. Engineering problems can be solved. Human nature is not an engineering problem. Not only is Elon going to lose a metric shitload of money from his Twitter acquisition, he's going to lose a huge amount of whatever goodwill was left over after pedo guy.
Thanks for the response! I've been living with a (pretty decent) headset, but I'm tempted to go your direction.
> Suppose that you can pack that info (sensor id, metric type and data) in 32 bytes

I suppose you haven't worked with such constraints before, so that's why you think this needs 32 bytes. In reality, 4 or 6 will likely do.

Send diff in metric value if applicable, use variable-length encoding to not waste bytes. Allocate bits and not whole ints to things (like metric type). ID is already part of lower level protocol - the address, so you do not need it

Heya, drop by and drop a prompt for some collaborative imagination.
Many of the people who still write in public are funneling attention they get into those buckets:

1) Power. An example in the tech community are the "public intellectuals." Examples include Tim O'Reilly, Reid Hoffman, etc. They are already commercially successful. But are effectively cultivating influence and power by advocating for their ideas and world view.

2) Sales. Basically anyone who uses Twitter or LinkedIn well is selling themselves, their products, company, etc.

You might've noticed that many successful operators and investors who have gone mostly silent and have mostly stopped writing about their thoughts in public, but are hyping their investments, products, company/culture, etc.

The downsides are far too great, and so PR firms are engaged to obfuscate and filter.

It's a real shame. I found many friends and colleagues through public forums and shared ideas. Most all of them have retreated to private channels like: Signal, iMessage, Discord, etc.

That was a slim majority of who voted at the time. Leave voters heavily skewed older. Even just taking out the people who have died since the vote would result in a remain vote. 15 years worth of younger voters would overwhelmingly vote for remain.

Unless they change their minds in the meantime.
Look, I agree that theoretically it’s possible to lower inflation while keeping unemployment low. But the Fed is looking for a causal effect. They want higher unemployment because that will balance the labor supply and reduce wage growth. That’s what the Fed has said. The fact that they’re looking for a causal effect in raising unemployment means the engine analogy is not valid. There is no causal relationship between engine temperature and speed.

I think you’re falling for the no true Scotsman fallacy. We started this conversation talking about whether or not the Fed’s goal is higher unemployment. I presented an argument, in the Fed’s own words, that they plan on lowering inflation by weakening the labor pool. And your response is “that’s not really a goal.” I disagree and, and I don’t see a productive way forward for this conversation. At the very least, you should accept that this is a valid interpretation of the Fed’s own words, and not just some conspiracy theory being peddled.
The whole idea of "containment threads" is a powerful one that works very well in older-style forums, but not nearly as well on Reddit. "containment subs" isn't the same thing at all, and the subs that try to run subsubs dedicated to the containment issues usually find they die out.

How original is the generated code?

Can the generated code be traced back to the code used for training and the original copyrights and licenses for that code?

If so, what attribution(s) and license(s) should apply to the generated code?

The problem is that it's not really about censorship the way that people think about it; it's not about blanket banning the discussion of a topic. You can clearly have a discussion about extremely heated debate topics like abortion, pedophilia, genocide, whatever. However, in some of these topics there are pretty harsh chilling effects that prevent people from having very open and honest discussion about them. The reason why I'm being non-specific is twofold: one is because I am also impacted by these chilling effects, and another is because making it specific makes it seem like it's about a singular topic when it is about a recurring pattern of behaviors that shift topics over time.

If you really don't think there have been chilling effects, I put forth two potential theories: one is that you possibly see this as normal "consequences for actions" (I do not believe this: I am strictly discussing ideas and opinions that are controversial even in a vacuum.) OR: perhaps you genuinely haven't really seen the fringes very much, and doubt their existence. I don't really want to get into it, because it would force me to pick specific examples that would inextricably paint me into those arguments, but I guess maybe it's worth it if it makes the point.
Because the ideal solution is to just improve the UX.
> It's super frustrating that every single time WhatsApp is mentioned on Hacker News, someone boldly makes a claim that it's not encrypted based on hearsay or hunches.

You only address OP's first "bold" claim. You've sidestepped the rest. I wonder why.

Ah, I see. Super frustrating, indeed.
Compound graphs are those graphs where nodes can also be nested inside each other. Many real-world graphs tend to be compound graphs. While tools like CytoscapeJS can render them using automatic layout algorithms, not many tools exist to manually lay out such graphs AND add/modify custom properties for nodes and edges. I needed such a tool to be able to draw curriculum maps, and discovered that SvelteJS had excellent support for SVG components. That's when I decided to make this tool.

This tool is currently also being used by Foresight Institute for their civilizational tech trees: https://foresight.org/tech-tree/

Wrong thread, friend.
I noticed my phone getting hot also (manufacturer put too fast a cpu in this little thing so 5 seconds of 100% use is immediately noticeable on the back center left where I presume it must be located). As someone who built a similar service with no such issues, I can confidently say it's not Firefox.
lol @ "open-source soft­ware piracy"

If I'm being honest I'm a bit annoyed at this. What's the problem and what's the point of this?
Excellent point. This adds a different dimension to the situation, for sure. I can see that the slower crowd would keep the boat afloat while the high performers go and solve the pressing issues. I have seen it happen a couple of times. Still seems a bit wasteful to have half of a team essentially parked.
No. It was purchased by SpaceX last year, but uses their own hardware.
Saying "it's your responsibility to not breach licenses or violate copyright" doesn't absolve your service from breaching licenses and violating copyright itself.
As a non-lawyer, I am very suspicious of the claim that "Plaintiffs and the Class have suffered monetary damages as a result of Defendants’ conduct." Flagrant disregard for copyright? Sure, maybe. The output of the model is subject to copyright? Who knows! But the copyright holders being damaged in some what? Seems doubtful. The best argument I could think of would be "GitHub would have had to pay us for this, and they didn't pay us, so we lost money," but that'd presumably work out to pennies per person.

4090 being faster isn't exactly shocking. But it costs 600 more and requires other sacrifices such as more power, including maybe a new PSU. Definitely going AMD this round.

> In first incident I chose to ignore a certain user being targeted by others for posting repeated messages. The person left a very angry message and left.

> Comes the second incident, I thought I learnt my lesson. Once a user is targeted, I tried to stop others from targeting the person. But this time the people who targeted the person wrote angry messages and left.

Makes me think that moderators should have the arbitrational power to take two people or groups, and (explicitly, with notice to both people/groups) make each person/group's public posts invisible to the other person/group. Like a cross between the old Usenet ignore lists, and restraining orders, but externally-imposed without either party actively seeking it out.
You could argue that it’s the individual projects using copilot that are violating here, I guess? Like you can use curl or git to dump some AGPL code into your commercial closed software but no one would (hopefully) blame those tools.

So copilot is fine but anyone using it must abide by the collective set of licenses that it used to write code for you…?
Definitely.

We laid a ton of people off due to Covid. One year later back in business, hired most of them back.
Yes that would be okay. It would also be okay to create Internet 2.0.
Systemd was a child of Redhat.

Debian had to support it, mostly because at the time Gnome, another Redhat controlled project, decided to depend upon systemd.

It is the "United States" of America, so yes if a community hypothetically obliterated itself by dispersing over a bunch of different states, they wouldn't receive the same level of representation anymore. But they wouldn't really be a "community" anymore either so I don't really get the point you are trying to make.
> Which political party has held the house and the senate and done nothing to reverse it?

None.

The Democratic Party has done a lot to undo the effect of that repeal, notably:

(1) Passing net neutrality laws in several states shortly after the FCC repeal, some—like California’s—significantly stronger than the ones that the FCC has passes and then repealed,

(2) Dropping federal opposition in court to those state laws shortly after Biden took office.
> r/politics is “communist”? That’s… just a really dumb take. If there is a far-left presence on Reddit, it is not prominent. r/politics is left-leaning and angry, but, objectively speaking, not really all that extreme.

Obviously, none of the affluent idiots from chapo or at hexbear controlling r/politics r/news or r/worldnews are really communists, they are just rich asshats that just pretend to be, my point still stands. They are still spouting marxist non sense, violent speech, and their behavior isn't moderated, as long as they don't target "the wrong people".
Back in the 70s when I lived in central Indiana, and when I was also in Boy Scouts and learning about maps and compasses and stuff, the zero declination line ran right through Indiana such that magnetic north and true north were effectively the same. In fact, a historic declination viewer confirms that in 1976 the zero line ran within single-digit miles of my house. (It now looks to run through the middle of Missouri.) So I never used that little declination arrow on the paper maps. I knew how it worked in theory, but had no practical application. A move to North Carolina necessitated that I get handy with that. Then a move to Seattle made me realize how far off a magnetic compass can be.

It doesn't look like I'll live long enough for the zero line to get to Seattle, though, so I better get used to it.
BKM Algorithm
I have been writing a daily diary (journal) since 11 years, and also I take lots of notes, almost about everything I learn. I've been thinking to start writing a blog since 10 years.

I think that the primary idea in my head is to find a way to convert my experiences, lessons from life into a blog. For that, I have to dig through old journals, and it makes me feel dreaded to start it. I also think on writing about what's happening in my life, but then I feel who is going to care about it. So I do not start.

Also I read lot of books. Of lately, I started taking notes, and have been thinking to start writing book reviews - at least. My most of notes are in handwritten form, and I used to convert my analog stuff manually typing to digital form. The thought of making a visual summary of books along with traditional text format (digital) deviates me to search yet another tool, or excuse of not putting time to create book summaries.

Basically, what to write about (with a bit of "how"), is the question stopping me from starting.

I found this quite helpful though:

Mermaid: Markdown-inspired diagramming and flow-charting
It is expensive to do, because you have to ensure the content being made public doesn't dox / hurt someone other than the poster. But I think you could add two things to the recipe. 1 - real user validation. So the banned user can't easily make another account. Obviously not easy and perhaps not even possible, but essential. 2 - increased stake. Protest a short ban, and if you lose, you get an even longer ban.

OOP and FP: Reducing Complexity Together – Yehonathan Sharvit and Eric Normand
I've never understood that idea that PM's on a platform must be held purely private by the platform even in cases where:

* There's some moderation dispute that involves the PM's

* At least one of the parties involved consents to release the PM's

The latter is the critical bit, to me. When you send someone a chat message, or an email, obviously there's nothing actually stopping them from sharing the content of the message with others if they feel that way, either legally or technically. If an aggrieved party wants to share a PM, everyone knows they can do so -- the only question mark is that they may have faked it.

To me the answer here seems obvious: allow users to mark a PM/thread as publicly visible. This doesn't make it more public than it otherwise could be, it just lets other people verify the authenticity, that they're not making shit up.
You mean like every torrent client that currently exists?
Yes, it’s self inflicted, but not due to recent events any more than a recession is the fault of whoever the sitting president is. There are deep, long-standing structural reasons for the stuff we find ourselves in, and the cycle is as old as civilization, because it’s just human nature. The politicians who advocate for austerity and fiscal discipline don’t tend to do as well as those who let the credit run like water.
I think you're looking for consistency that the legal system just doesn't provide. The music industry is more organised and litigious than the software industry and that gives them power that you and I don't have. If you called it "Napster 2.0" specifically you'd probably be prevented from shipping by a preliminary injunction. Is that fair or consistent? No. But it's the world we live in. Programmers want laws to be irrefutable and executable logic but they just aren't.
I wonder if the plaintiffs' code would stand up to scrutiny of whether any of it was copied, even unintentionally, from other code they saw in their years of learning to program? I know that I have more-or-less transcribed from Stack Overflow/etc, and I have a strong suspicion that I have probably produced code identical to snippets I've seen in the past.
