> I think Yishan is nailing the nail on the head by focusing the discussion on user behavior instead of on the content itself.

But user behavior problem can be solved cheaply, easily and in a scalable way:

Give each user an ability to form the personal filter. Basically, all what I need is:

1. I want to read what person A writes - always.

2. I want to read what person B writes - always, except when talking to person C.

3. I want to peek through a filter of the person I like - to discover more interesting to me persons.

4. Show me random people posts like 3-4 (configurable) times per day.

This is basically how my spinal brain worked in unmoderated Fido-over-Usenet groups (Upd: yes, this “oh how everyone will die without moderation” problem is that old). Some server help will be great, sure, but there is nothing here that is expensive or not scalable.
PS: centralized filtering is needed only when you are going after some content, not noise.
Not true for macOS.
Looks like they are giving 1 year before actually introducing that change. It's either the quote or the article wrong saying users will have only 4 weeks remaining.
In a moral sense, you shouldn't need to. Your English is functional enough to work with. It's not your fault if people make poor judgements about your ability based on your English skills.

Unfortunately, we can't expect all the people we work with to overcome their prejudices, so it's probably still useful for you to improve your English skills.
This is excellent!

Over the years, I've been pleased to see that more and more distributions are writing their disk images and the like to the ESP. (Previously, dd'd USB images for distro installing _required_ the creation of a /boot partition)

The logical next step would be to standardize everything through systemd, and ensure all boot images are autodiscoverable and automatically bootable.

It's been somewhat frustrating for distributions to install GRUB, hijacking the previous prioritized boot PE, and have entries for other installed Linux distributions missing.
> 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.

Then we're far away enough from the topic of censorship that we should be using different language for what we're discussing. It's bad enough that people use the term "censorship" colloquially when discussing private refusal to carry content vs state criminalization. It's definitely not applicable by the time we get to soft stakes.

As someone whose life & social circle is deeply embedded in a religious institution which makes some claims and teachings I find tenuous to objectionable, I'm pretty familiar with chilling effects and other ways in which social stakes are held hostage over what topics can be addressed and how. And yet I've found these things:

(1) It's taught me a lot about civil disagreement and debate, including the fact that more often than not, there are ways to address even literally sacred topics without losing the stakes. It takes work and wit, but it's possible. Those lessons have been borne out later when I've chosen to do things like try to illuminate merits in pro-life positions while in overwhelmingly pro-choice forums.

(2) It's made me appreciate the value of what the courts have called time/place/manner restrictions. Not every venue is or should be treated the same. Church services are the last time/place to object to church positions, and when one does choose that it's best to take on the most obligation in terms of manner, making your case in the terms of the language, metaphors, and values of the church.

(3) Sometimes you have to risk the stakes, and the only world in which it would actually be possible for there NOT to be such stakes (and risk and conflict over them) would be one in which people have no values at all

I actually went into a deep dive of any statistical efforts that showed bans on twitter based on American political leanings.

Apparently in both studies I found the most statistically significant user behavior for bans was if the user had a tendency to post articles from low quality online ”news” sites.

So essentially even the political controversy around moderation boils down to the fact that one side, the right, is happily posting low quality news/fake news that they either get banned for disinformation or other rule-breaking behavior.

I held off on win11 due to hardware/software support, the latest version supported everything and toolbar replacement apps are out (just like I used on win10).

Win11 22H2 seems to be a good release, upgrading finally seems to be flawless for me. WSL2/WSLg is also very nice.

Yeah they can, and the whole functions that Copilot spits out are quite obviously covered by copyright.

> especially when they are used in a different context.

That doesn't matter.
copilot isn't creating derivative works: copilot users are.

the human at the keyboard is responsible for what goes into the source code being written.

to aid copilot users here, they are creating tools to give users more info about the code they are seeing: https://github.blog/2022-11-01-preview-referencing-public-co...

Social reputation IRL also has transitive properties - vouching from other high-rep people, or group affiliations. Primitive forms of social-graph connectedness have been exposed in social networks but it doesn't seem like they've seen much investment in the past decade.
It's irrelevant whether it's standard or not. Again, the terms in the code licence (including attribution) do not apply to Github, because that is not the licence under which they are using the code. You grant them a separate licence when you start using their service.

If someone who isn't the author has uploaded code which they do not have a right to copy, they are liable, not Github. This is also clear from the Github Terms: "If you're posting anything you did not create yourself or do not own the rights to, you agree that you are responsible for any Content you post"

It's almost as if these highly paid lawyers know what they're doing.
I mean, it's not like the copyrights are keeping you from doing things. It's stopping you from looking at someone else's source. And it's not like source is easy to accidentally see like dance moves are.

Neurons almost certainly use quantum processes, but so do most transistors. The brain is too too warm for large-scale quantum effects though. You're not going to find phase coherence at that scale in such an environment, which is pretty much the prerequisite for quantum effects (that is fairly well understood).

This is not necessarily true, the function space defined by the hidden layers might not contain an exact duplicate of the original training input for all (or even most) of the training inputs. Things that are very well represented in the training data probably have a point in the function space that is "lossy compression" level close to the original training image though, not so much in terms of fidelity as in changes to minor details.
> Facebook and Twitter don’t even show you what your ad is near

But their customers complain about it, media picks it up and it becomes an outrage story.

That's what brands are scared of.
Labour offered another referendum on membership, which none of other parties offered or were in a position to deliver, so the decision to leave could have been overturned if enough people wanted it to. A Labour victory would have given them the chance, regardless of Corbyn's stance.
> Plenty of people consider disagreement around allowing natal males in women's sport is hateful. Plenty of people consider opposition to the abolishment of police is hateful. Plenty of people immigration enforcement hateful.

Those things aren't deemed hate speech, but they might be disagreed with and downvoted on some forums (i.e. HN), and championed on others (i.e. Parler) but that has nothing to do with them being hate speech. They are just unpopular opinions in some places, and I can understand how it might bother you if those are your beliefs and you get downvoted.

Actual hate speech based on your examples is: promoting violence/harassment against non-cisgender people, promoting violence/harassment by police, and promoting violence/harassment by immigration authorities against migrants.

Promoting violence and harassment is a fundamentally different type of speech than disagreeing with the prevailing local opinion on a controversial subject that has many shades of gray (that your examples intentionally lack).
This is just my guess, but I think the intention from the judges is not to actually calculate a true number. The reason they used the cost of publishing fees in the piratebay case was likely to illustrate how the court distinguished between a legal publisher vs an illegal one. The legal publisher would have bought the publishing rights, and since piratebay did not do this, the court uses those publishing fees in order to illustrate the difference.

If the court wanted to distinguish between Microsoft using their own programmers to generate code vs taking code from github users, then the salary in question would likely be that of Microsoft programmers. It would then be used to illustrate how a legal training data would look like compared to an illegal one.
My current company did a layoff, not quite 15%, but in that ballpark. They went down as far as the directors and gave them a number. I.e. pick X people to lose. This was in addition to some specific cuts where they axed the entire product and all teams associated with it.

It definitely allowed management to cut a few people that had been on their short list for a while.

I always find the backlash against Mozilla odd here. Not to say that they don't have lots of problems, but the top comment here is about cronyism. But as an alternative browser are we better to support Chrome? A singular company that wants to control the way the internet works (which means chromium is playing with fire too). These threads just fill with Mozilla hate which in turn promotes people's usage of Chrome. It's okay to not like Mozilla, but we do need to recognize that innovation and what's best for us and the internet relies on there being adequate competition. So I ask that you think of the unintended consequences when criticizing in an extreme manner.

A similar pattern seems to happen with other technologies. Signal is a great example. If we place apps/corporations as binary good or evil, the truth is that they are ALL evil. But that does not allow us to put pressure to push them to do good. It prevents us from promoting competition. And remember that a lot of people, even here on HN, don't understand the complexities and nuances that you're expressing your viewpoint from. So don't grab your pitch-fork, grab your pen. Do be critical, but not sensational. There is a difference between complaining and critiquing and social media tends to promote the former because people fighting encourages more engagement (not a metric HN heavily relies upon). It's up to us to break this cycle and choose how we speak and act online. It's clear at this point that those with the platforms aren't going to encourage this behavior, so we have to take the hard route.

We can be critical without being sensational.

https://github.com/gfngfn/SATySFi

SATySFi (pronounced in the same way as the verb “satisfy” in English) is a new typesetting system equipped with a statically-typed, functional programming language. It consists mainly of two “layers” ― the text layer and the program layer. The former is for writing documents in LaTeX-like syntax. The latter, which has OCaml-like syntax, is for defining functions and commands. SATySFi enables you to write documents markuped with flexible commands of your own making. In addition, its informative type error reporting will be a good help to your writing.

The main problem is that a lot of the documentation is in japanese.
OTOH it's nice to have access to the boot loader via serial console. The system developers judgement is that it's up to the firmware to provide serial console access if needed. Well I'll just get my chequebook out then...

Also it would be nice to be able to interact with the boot loader on a modern laptop display without having to get out a magnifying glass. Another problem that is deigned to be the fault of the firmware.

One of the great things about open source operating systems is that people step up to provide these sorts of improvements and I think it's a shame that systemd-boot will cause regression here.
Or when an EV RV comes along, the EV battery is your power battery.

EV RVs:

- better torque for travelling and towing

- regen braking

- skateboard battery for maximum interior space and storage

- simpler powertrain

- battery can function as a home powerwall when you're home, if you have a home

- solar panels to keep energy-positive while parked

- low center of gravity to offset some of the RV tippiness

And Starlink keeps you connected everywhere you go...

And IF they solve highway self-driving to the point you can safely let the RV drive and self-recharge overnight... oh my god.
This is about using a custom domain, and it's not a free feature. It's only if you pay for Microsoft 365 Personal/Family, or any of the 365 business plans. (They're killing it for 365 Personal/Family plans)

Spammers can still use a ...@outlook.com address as before, and if they made it to having a domain + paid Microsoft 365 subscription, Microsoft have a credit card to blacklist.
> Your participation in a community would involve reading, posting as desired once you've been in a community for a certain amount of time, taking a turn at evaluating N comments that have been flagged, and taking a turn at evaluating disputes about evaluations, with the latter 2 being spread around so as to not take up a lot of time (though, having those duties could also reinforce your investment in a community).

This is an interesting idea, and I'm not sure it even needs to be that rigorous. Active evaluations are almost a chore that will invite self-selection bias. Maybe we use sentiment analysis/etc to passively evaluate how people present and react to posts?

It'll be imperfect in any small sample, but across a larger body of content, it should be possible to derive metrics like "how often does this person compliment a comment that they also disagree with" or "relative to other people, how often do this person's posts generate angry replies", or even "how often does this person end up going back and forth with one other person in an increasingly angry/insulting style"?

It still feels game-able, but maybe that's not bad? Like, I am going to get such a great bogus reputation by writing respectful, substantive replies and disregarding bait like ad hominems! That kind of gaming is maybe a good thing.

One fun thing is this could be implemented over the top of existing communities like Reddit. Train the models, maintain a reputation score externally, offer an API to retrieve, let clients/extensions decide if/how to re-order or filter content.
>it builds universal binaries

Are these workloads comparable? It could very well be that macOS is doing more compilation. If you wanted a fair comparison, you could run Linux on both and compile in that.

Even if building for macOS requires more overall work, I wouldn't say this constitutes a "real-life" comparison because the output product is different.
But wouldn't the people creating these models and deciding whether to publish them prefer ones with these "understandable" mistakes? There might have been other ones that had equal potential as far the evaluation measure goes, but humans had been involved all along the way and said, "Yeah, that picture looks like a person made it. We should keep developing this model."
How would you define it? What loopholes? Why isn't any of the other published measures not enough for your purposes?
This to me is a vital point.

One of the things rarely touched on about Twitter / FB et al are that they are transmission platforms and then a discovery / recommendation layer on top.

The "algorithm" is this layer on top and it is assumed that this actively sorts people into their bubbles and people passively follow - there is much discussion about splitting the companies AT&T style to improve matters.

But countries where much of the discourse is on WhatsApp do not have WhatsApp to do this recommendation - it is done IRL (organically) - and people actively sort themselves.

The problem is not (just) the social media companies. It lies in us.

The solution if we are all mired in the gutter of social media, is to look up and reach for the stars.
There are genetic differences in how one tastes bitterness (e.g. the TAS2R38 gene), so that might be one factor.

Does anybody else think that the media has been wrong so many times about growth and recessions that everything is always overblown.

2000 - technology forever
2001 - it's over, go home.
2006 - everything will go up forever!
2008 - RIP good times
2010 - we're going to be ok
2018 - boy were we wrong about 2008 - nothing can go wrong
2020 - oh crap, it's over
2021 - nope, we're fine, go all the things!
2022 - worst recession ever!

I even feel like I'm missing some things in there.

I'm not saying there isn't a downturn, there obviously is, but that's a downturn from the peak, and everyone being scared.

As Buffett says, be greedy when others are fearful, and I'd say everyone is more fearful now than they've ever been.

Looking at stock markets, the 2008 recession, S&P 500 showed the biggest drop from May 2008 - Jan 2009, with recovery from then.
2000 saw a slower descent from July 2000 to Sept 2002, but also slower growth on the back.

This time we've seen a a sharp decline, and I think there is a bit more of a decline, but how much of the decline is already priced in?

From 2000 to 2007 we really lost faith in growth and technology. Did much happen in the technology sector from 2000 to 2006? The iPod, media was going digital, but at the time that was mostly a loss of revenue to labels, not a lot of growth. Social was being figured out, etc etc.

Then came iPhone, mobile, social, SaaS (AWS began in 2006). These things converged for huge growth and really brought the internet and technology to the promise it initially aimed for.

This time, we're at the early stages of AI, clean-tech, bio & neurotech (my field).

My current belief is that yes, we've hit a wall, what do you do when you hit a wall? You don't stop. You go and beat the hell out of that wall. It will come down.

I see a bright future, but maybe I'm delusional.

I remember back before the internet when "music discovery" rarely involved listening to music (except the radio). I would be so interested in music, but READING about music was a horrible hit-or-mostly-miss experience. I could read something like rolling stone and then be disappointed when the music didn't capture the emotion the description portrayed.

Even word of mouth was hit-or-miss unless someone had a tape in the car.

anyway... now we have infinite discoverability, and with youtube, you can get really interesting journeys like this deconstruction: https://youtu.be/QWveXdj6oZU
They are very different. But my point is that Apache is very successful and produces lots of great software.

You don’t have to pay $100M in developer salaries to produce great software. Mozilla is not that great despite having lots and lots of employees.

Perhaps rethinking their approach would be useful. But if their revenue goes away, it doesn’t mean Mozilla the browser goes away.

Maybe Mozilla should just be a governance process rather than a software developer. The browser would probably have similar quality.

I wonder if you could use a vector similarity search to find a specific implementation in code based on a feature description. I first thought you would need a language model with a large-enough context window to digest the whole codebase, but after thinking about it a bit longer it seems like the right way to do this would be similarity search. Wonder if it would work at all.
