>It doesn't make sense to distrust the Chinese when they are doing the same thing as Americans (unless you don't like them just because they are Chinese)

If the Chinese and the Americans behaved identically in all other respects, this would be excellent logic. As they do not, it is spurious logic. I don't think you really believe that the Chinese style of governance and Chinese culture are the same as the American style of governance and American culture.

Put another way, there's an Australian law that can literally compel Australian coders to become secret agents and implant government backdoors into products they work on at their government's whim [0, 1]. It is not, and would not be, "aussiephobia" to not want to hire a person for whom this is a possibility, or to avoid products that Australian forced-backdoors are likely to be present in. Individual Australians are unlikely to support this, and shouldn't be individually blamed, but does that change the reality of the law?

>My reasoning in calling it sinophobia is because if you actually care about "dumb content" the proper solution is REGULATION for ALL the social media companies. Singling out TikTok makes no sense at all

I've heard it said that politics is the "art of the possible". From a fairness perspective, I'd love to see Western social media get a little regulated. From a harm-reduction perspective, sanctioning the Other social media is, at best, the first step to regulating everything else, and at worst, the only thing we're ever going to get.

I love drama and chaos as much as any nerd with too much time on their hands… but this story has not a single compelling nugget to it. Like, the tweets so far are so un-juicy that I would like to ensure this doesn’t ever go to the frontpage so nobody else wastes their time reading this boring non-story. I wish it was worth reading.

Yes, they removed some NSFW which might've hurt it, but releasing models that can generate CP /will/ get you in legal trouble.

The "in the style of Greg Rutkowski" prompts from SD1 though, IIRC, were thought to be proof it was reproducing the training set. But it actually only saw ~27 images of his, and the rest was residual biases from CLIP.

Goal: Write a standup skit where a power hungry CEO states that all meetings shall from now on be summarized as poems and read aloud at the end of every meeting. It ends itself with a poem summarizing the message to the team

Context: A small startup that works remotely and are trying out the new ai tools

Output:

CEO: Good morning team, I have a new rule for all of our meetings. From now on, every meeting will be summarized as a poem and read aloud at the end of the session.

Team: (looks confused and hesitant)

CEO: Don't worry, we have the latest ai tools to help us with this task. It will make our meetings more efficient and creative.

Team: (still unsure)

CEO: Trust me, this will be a game changer for our startup. We need to stand out and be innovative in this competitive market. Plus, who doesn't love a good poem?

Team: (nods in agreement, reluctantly)

CEO: Great, let's get started.

(At the end of the meeting)

CEO: (clears throat and begins to recite)

In this meeting we discussed

The latest trends and data,

We brainstormed and debated,

And reached some decisions, great.

Al tools, they helped us along,

To summarize and make it strong,

A poem to end each meeting,

A new way for us to be greeting.

Team: (applauds awkwardly)

CEO: See, it's not so bad. Now let's get back to work and continue to grow our startup with the help of these new ai tools and our creative poetry skills.

(The CEO exits the virtual meeting room with a smug smile)

I'm a moderate, not a Democrat and not a Republican.

I think people on the left have a blind spot here, that the more suppression they use, the more division they create, and the more moderates and people on the right grow to resent them. I would have identified as a Democrat on pretty much every issue, but this authoritarian suppression of speech and ideas has just pushed me away from that side completely.

At this point both sides suck and I want nothing to do with either.

They’ll be able to rake back some of the paid-out funds though. Should be able to pay some big fines/penalties.

I suspect something similar is going on with the quadriga bankruptcy in Canada. CRA (Canadian IRS) did an audit and shared its results with the creditors’ lawyers months ago but nobody has heard anything about it yet: they probably didn’t like the penalties they’re being asked to pay.
Personally, I'd be willing to pay more for Starlink, but that willingness is capped by the price of unlimited 4G plans in my area.

From a business perspective, I suspect that the number of potential consumers living (at the moment) in areas with wireless ISPs and no wired ISPs is quite a bit larger than than areas with no wireless ISP. However, with time, I suspect that WFH and Starlink will encourage some people to move farther out from current infrastructure and they will be almost entirely dependent on Starlink, since HughesNet and other geostationary satellite internet providers aren't really comparable in bandwidth or latency.

1. Yeah I agree, it is, albeit a bit more indirect. By making it more direct and explicit then content moderation can be more granular and have a tighter feedback loop and ultimately controlled by users—which I think is a win

2. If there’s one thing I know about wealthy people, it’s that there’s wealthy people on both sides of any given politcal/social issue. So for every one that wants to allow certain speech there will be one that wants to ban it. Also people can organize from the grassroots to form large pools of capital and have their voice heard if the issue is important enough.

3. Although your hypothetical is a bit sensationalist and off topic, I’ll entertain it. If the outcome of such a scheme really did lower the homicide total by 10%, then it’d be hard to argue against it vs. the status quo as it is an objectively better outcome.

for sure.

It'll be really interesting tomorrow to see how much tech and media end up suppressing this story too.

Presumably, just like with the story this is all about, they'll just ban all mention of it and delete everybody's accounts because of "safety" or something.

I'm actively watching a variety of mainstream press to see if any of them cover the story, but honestly I doubt they will, other than maybe to have an AP fact check that says that the whole thing is false and that Elon made it all up.
Can you provide comparable to SBF example? I can see US doing it in Afghanistan or Syria for terrorists but it's hard to imagine it happening for white collar crime in a friendly country with functioning legal system like Bahamas. It will be huge precedent.

I feel like it might be of relevance to the hacker community in what way social media companies attempt to shape our views and opinions. The mere fact that this may be seen as targeted at one party or another really shouldn't matter (I'm not American and so luckily don't have to choose between Democrats/Republicans, as I find them both pretty dreadful - Republicans more so.)

But the extent to which political parties seem to be connected to social media companies, and are able to get stuff they don't want to be up to be removed seems worrisome in a democracy.
I do the same for my work phone and laptop. (The laptop Windows lock screen is the mandated company logo screen -- making it easy to see if the computer has been locked when you've left your cubicle.) My tablets have a grey "smoke" background. I'll sometimes do it with my personal phone and computers; but, I tend to change those every so often.
Right thing to do would be to start the extradition process ASAP so he can’t jump the island.
In many-to-most cases 4G and especially 5G will simply outperform Starlink. If you have the 4G it may not even be necessary to bother with the Starlink. Unless you want redundancy of a 2nd connection or you can only get a really terrible data plan running both is not likely to make much sense. Starlink also has very onerous North-South field of view requirements that are actually often hard to meet even on completely remote sites (speaking as a Starlink customer with a handful of trees in the yard). Cellular is nowhere near as fussy about placement.

Starlink makes most sense when you have no 4G or 5G reception at all, generally speaking.
Just a couple weeks ago I had a comment downvoted and flagged for saying what this confirms. The political bias in tech circles is unreal sometimes.
There’s zero evidence of that, so far at least. The emails show nothing of the sort: they show a bunch of people ham-fistedly trying to enforce policies designed to protect the company. I look forward to seeing some evidence that people at Twitter were in cahoots in order to support Joe Biden, but thus far, there’s zero evidence of that — it’s the most mundane behaviour you could imagine.
This may be a cliche, but I seriously don't understand why anyone still watches cable TV - it's been unbearable for many years and it's expensive. I sort of understand that some people enjoy sports broadcasts that are only available on cable, but the rest is just unbearable and incomprehensible to me.

I'll share my idea, for Messages in iOS.

When you long press a message, you get a menu with Reply, Copy, Translate. I'd like to add "bookmark" to that list.

How to then access that list of bookmarked messages? When you click on the search bar of all messages, there are sections for links, photos, etc. I'd like there to be a section there with all bookmarked messages.
Some of them are slaves too.
> editable dataview tables; but I'm not sure this library is the answer to that

No, I used to word "batch edit". DB-folder tables are indeed "editable" but you can't "batch edit" them. Your library allows this further step. that was my point : to show how your solution augment what dataview and DB-folder already offers (augment, not replace)

It seems some people are using https://python-frontmatter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.ht... for raw batch editing. (seen here https://forum.obsidian.md/t/bulk-changes-of-markdown-files/1...)

Ask HN: Is it sloppy coding culture or just me/ADHD?
I feel super unproductive at work. Looking back at my career I've hit peak productivity when I could manage a codebase, the culture around the codebase, and external visibility. But the culture of my current group is: heroic hacking. Other team members seem able to work in this environment but I feel paralyzed in this atmosphere of slapdash jupyter notebooks, untested undocumented sprawling ML models, and not an interface in sight. When I suggest we find consensus on an architecture or coding practices or even commit conventions, I get blank faces that seem to ask "what are you talking about". I feel gaslighted about tech debt.

One view is: this is just n00b startup engineering.

Another view: maybe my old engineering practices are a crutch? Have I relied on thoughtful design, thorough tests, version control policies, documentation, static analysis... because I have untreated ADHD or sth and can only focus on one modular chunk of code at a time? Is adderall eating engineering practices? How do these other engineers get anything done?

Do I need pills or a new position?

Oh, I have little doubt personally that TikTok is a malignant tumor, I just don't cite other tumors (Carlson and Crowder) for anything, even the sky being blue.

I am quite critical of TikTok, of people who have it installed on their phones, and as someone who unfortunately has Instagram for certain reasons, I see the same mechanisms of hypertracking and attempts to push addictive mind-melting entertainment and softcore porn to people.

I am unaware of legitimate critique's of Chris Wray as head of the FBI, but that's besides the point, I suppose. At least we have a comedian on a business writers' podcast to tell us about it.

People forget! The O(nlogn) limit for the best worst case is for comparison sorts. I don't know if you consider it a "special case", but for more cases than not you can do guaranteed linear time to the number of elements: Radix and Bucket Sort. This is O(n) for things like ints because the number of bits are constant but for strings the length plays a factor: O(k*n). This performance isn't dependent on the distribution of items being sorted so I'd consider that pretty general.

You could also consider things like sleep sort or spaghetti sort: googling them I'll leave to the reader. Oh, and sorting networks are a good read too.

"if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols."

The measure of intolerance is basically whoever tries censorship and violence first. Ironically they often justify it with one or two sentences cherry-picked from Popper.

SEEKING WORK | Full-Time | Remote/Chicago, IL | Senior Engineer / Engineering Manager / Developer Advocate

8 years experience as a developer, starting up building small WordPress sites for an agency in Chicago. Have since founded my own consultancy, which I'm taking a bit of a step back from. I've worked with every type of client from local grocery stores all the way up to high-traffic sites like RollingStone.com.

On the side, I've been doing plenty of technical writing and am looking at ways I can leverage my technical knowledge besides just writing code day-to-day as well. Plenty of experience communicating with all sorts of non-technical stakeholders and love taking technical concepts and boiling them down to the core pieces of information.

I also have plenty of experience working with legacy codebases and jumping in and making improvements over time, while still shipping new features and bug fixes. Debugging odd errors and working through technical debt are some of my favorite kinds of problems.

Location: Chicago, IL

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: WordPress, Laravel, PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript, AWS, Ansible, Python and plenty more ...

Also: Technical Writer, Conference Speaker, Consultant

Yes, but when they claim to support free speech and then turn around and do the opposite it is best to call them out on it. The reason for my hyperbole response was because here we are talking about Twitter and free speech, and some people are avidly in support of banning things and people they don't like.
