The "AI alignment" people seem to have mostly given up on their higher aspirations, instead deciding that hardcoding their own biases and subjective values into the AI (with human-trained "safety algorithms") will do the trick. I hope I'm wrong on them, because if I'm right, they'll just turn AI into a tool for elite control instead of a tool for liberation.

Ask HN: Helping a stroke victim regain hand-eye coordination with video games?
I've got a friend's dad who's a three-time stroke victim. Prior to the first, dude was left handed. Knowing the guy, I think he'd really enjoy the Halo series of video games or something adjacent, but with his left hand being pretty addled and that being his formerly dominant hand, I'm really worried that being now in his late 60's he'd be really really reluctant to even try.

My thinking, and the reason I'm asking here, is that if I could somehow get him to give it a try, maybe his brain could form some resistance to further degeneration to at the very least resist or delay the inevitable through enjoying an experience that would build up a neuro-adaptive/hand-eye coordinative system as a result of that enjoyment/entertainment experience (provided I could "sell" him on giving it a try).

Is there any research or even any anecdotal experience on this being a viable theory in the slightest? Anyone out there think I'm even remotely batshit crazy with this idea, emotional affinity for the medium outstanding? If I'm nuts in even considering this, fine, no problem - I'd rather that than waste his time or mine - but if there's anything to my theory in the slightest, even if a remote possibility at best, I'd rather give it a try than not, provided, of course, it bears the slightest chance of success if vetted by another that's either seen such success of possess the medical credibility to conceive of the same (which I do not).

Thanks for the opinions, HN. Have a nice weekend!

It's pretty lucky that we're in a solar system with 2 other rocky planets that have some subset of the conditions for (complex) life, but not all the ones on the Earth.

Should make outstanding problems like abiogenesis easier to solve in the long run to have these worlds to compare to. We're finally getting to a really interesting phase of that research on Mars with the sample return program. And Venus is just starting to kick off with renewed interest from the field.

Then there are several icy moons that are also interesting data points, but much further away in terms of serious, in-depth(pun intended) exploration.

It's amazing how things change. In the past the left would have been happy to see the removal of subsidies to mega corporations.
Nobody on the left cares about protecting Hunter Biden. IF he broke any laws, then he should be in jail. AFAIK, there's no current legal case against him.

What you're seeing here is the "left" learning to not take everything the right screams about at face value. They watched Hillary get dragged through the mud with Benghazi over absolutely nothing of substance, including months of Congressional hearings. Thus this new "Hunter Biden Laptop" story smells like the same exact ratfucking playbook.

Complaining that Twitter didn't amplify an unproven story isn't bias. It's successful pattern recognition.
> You could always deploy an actual sidecar that runs Extism -- but we believe operationally it is far simpler to eliminate other deployments and run WASM in-process as it was designed to do.

Ah, yeah, actually, I can see this (focusing on just local and in process). As mentioned, 95% of the time (probably higher), it seems like sidecars are used locally anyways, so having the simplest way to use sidecars/plugins could be super beneficial. Will give Extism a try.

... and WASM for proxy type stuff sounds super interesting too:)

> Literally 100% of the flow of information is being shaped by interested parties

Honest question: would you be similarly dismissive if it turned out that it’s secretly mostly the right who “shapes the flow of information” in order to influence public’s opinion and has already used that power during the past election cycles?

Remember - we’re not talking about some minor news outlet here. We are talking about social media platforms that are so pervasive basically every single person knows about them and is in one way or another exposed to the information that’s presented on them. To have the power to shape the flow of information on these kind of platforms is to have power to shape whole societies.

I re-read your comment and I agree that these communications are interesting. But Khanna's message is clearly not a government official demanding that Twitter censor something (indeed, he's suggesting the opposite).

> I guess we disagree that his team's comms during candidacy were not "governmental" in nature.

This isn't like a disagreeing on a judgment call sort of thing; it is factually not the case that the Biden campaign was governmental in nature. It was, in an objective legal sense, a private entity, and not a government entity. The US Constitution simply does not apply to a private entity that is not part of the US government.

It's weirder to use the false equivalence to equate Biden with a typical private citizen. The typical private citizen does not have the same power to suppress stories on Twitter.

I'm fine with paying cost of upkeep to use it, but as a public resource it should be not for profit.

Some says he removed Kayne because Kayne posted Elon's unflattering pic in his last tweet.

Given Elon Musk handling of other tweets, I doubt he was being transparent. That swastika post just gave him an excuse to remove Kayne.
Stuff like that gets removed all the time. It's a meme that posting certain Islamic songs can get you banned on Twitter. They might not get them all, especially with a reduced moderation team, but tons of Islamic terrorist tweets are removed every day.

It's only really a downside for the casuals who will go on Google and hit up one of the top 5 results on Tripadvisor.

Ultimately this is just the new hyper-culture we live in where leisure is now available to tons of people thanks to economics, combined with population growth. The hobbyists who are dedicated will always find new high quality options... just like restaurants/bars/fashion/etc.

Which is probably why having a more liberal system to develop recreational places for the more...casual/friendly audience could be a good thing. At least for getting people to enjoy the outdoors in peace and get out of traffic.
Note that this "takedown portal" is just a "flag content" portal. It doesn't mean Facebook automatically takes it down but does get immediate attention.

Depends on the team. If the team is strong at async communication, writing good status updates whenever such an update exists, then no, daily meetings where everyone would say "well I'm just going to repeat what I wrote elsewhere" are ipso facto excessive and unnecessary.

But there are definitely teams where members are poor written communicators, and in such cases, there's nearly always something new that comes up in a daily.
But that's going to be the narrative. The actual reality doesn't matter, just like the endless gloating these days about the so-called "Russia hoax" - where there was a bunch of shady goings-on between the Trump campaign and the RU gov't who was quite explicit in their desire to work with and assist his campaign. But because it didn't achieve the nigh-impossible feat of a successful impeachment vote by his own party, they act as if the whole thing was a ridiculous put-on when in fact they'd be frothing at the mouth if it was Joe Biden and the CCP.

Narrative is the only thing that matters, especially to these folks, and unfortunately that's why our society is fucked. Because they are definitely going to win that battle. They're already claiming that Biden, as a private citizen, was an agent of the "deep state" violating the 1st amendment with his shadowy cabal and it's just going to go downhill from here.

FPTP caused the Liberal party to be in power in Canada for most governments until they were ejected from politics for gross corruption. And since then they've been put in the corner for a bit, and slowly are coming back to being the prevalent ruling party.

Justin Trudeau made a campaign promise a few elections ago about replacing FPTP for a multi turn system and after being elected, promptly setup a sham study, which unsurprisingly found out that Canadian voters would be oh so confused if FPTP was to be replaced by a multi turn election system.

I wouldn't say Canada fares much better, in the long term. At least the Liberals are pretty benign.

Mate, one of the alleged bits of "censorship" was a request to take down... literally nude photos of Biden's son posted from a Chinese-language account. Anyone can ask for that to be taken down and Twitter will say yes. It's not improper to say yes just because the person asking happens to be running for President. Twitter is not under an obligation to distribute non-consensual nude photos just because the person involved is a celebrity. Imagine if that were the rule.
Which is precisely the point. When you say a nation is "corrupt", you're generally referring to one that is notable for that factor. Because otherwise the term is meaningless (because every nation does have corruption).

As a complementary example, you could argue all legislation is authoritarian; but describing a nation as "authoritarian" in the general (vs specific, as in certain laws/bills) goes above and beyond "normal" legislation.
Moderation: a complex and complicated topic where some dishonest moderators try to do their political war.

> Censorship is blocking content that both the sender and the receiver want.

Except when it isn’t. All media content goes through classification and censorship in New Zealand. You cannot air anything on tv without classification.

My comment was on the processor of classification and censorship that occurs during the classification process.

> Moderation is blocking content when the sender wants to communicate something the receiver doesn't want.

Then Twitter, Facebook, etc do not have moderation teams. They have censorship teams. Because they are blocking content people do want.

You might disagree with Trump. But removing his tweets and banning him is censorship as people do agree with him and do want his content.
I don't understand how such an abusive loophole has existed for so long.
> Most concerning thing here is that this proves political parties (including the white house[0]) have a direct line to Twitter[1] to get stuff they dislike removed. One would have to assume that there was also a direct line to other social medial platforms

This is the historical norm not anything new. This is very true about Fox News, CNN, and especially all the other "old media" major (alphabet soup) networks

I don't understand why the popular dichotomy is AI-killbots versus aligned-AI. A much more realistic and relevant one, which we're already facing today, is government AIs that oppress people, and open-source AIs that allow people to fight back.

Haven't you seen the "AI" used for unfair sentencing? Thankfully we can fight back against that one with basic statistical analyses demonstrating bias, but imagine if that hadn't been revealed in court documents, how would we have found out? We'd have needed an AI to parse all public inmate records and analyze them, which would likely be far too time-consuming for human researchers since none of it is open/structured data. Soon enough we'll need equally-powerful open-source AIs to even be able to uncover bad-AI injustices that we lack open data about.

Yes, kinda. Other comments about camera makers being pathologically incapable of making good software are mostly true, Fuji just seems like the best of a bad bunch.

My X100V is awesome. But there are definitely rough edges, particularly around the functions that interface with my phone. This should be bread and butter for cameras these days, but sadly it's still a fairly slow and sometimes buggy process to get photos from my camera to my phone, or to use my phone as a remote control.

As for the camera interface and features itself, they're fine, but there are seemingly weird limitations. Only 7 custom simulations? No option to apply a custom sim after I've taken a photo? And the locked down nature is pretty annoying. I know that there are Android based cameras which opens up a whole can of worms, but there's money to be made with a camera that can leverage the wisdom and ingenuity of the internet to provide upgradeable features. Especially when camera lifecycles are pretty long, you're not cannabilizing your own market if you let people provide custom paid film sims that I can directly load into my camera

How would you or me know they didn't sensor political speech on Facebook or another social media platform?

Are they clearly documenting how many times what content is being exactly censored why and then transparently publishing that to everyone ? Is the publisher of content on social media being notified they are censored in NZ ? Do they have a right to appeal ? How will they appeal if they don't get notified ? Is the appeal process simple and inexpensive enough for independent content creator to avail ?

For censorship to work, the system of censorship should be very objective, clear and transparent and with avenues for inexpensive recourse.

NZ and all commonwealth countries which have similar systems are not close to that. These are system as you say were not designed for social media so have no business censoring social media unless they have adapted ( which they have not). Inefficient bureaucracy also suppresses free speech not just conservative or authoritative regimes.

Q: how many sides are there in triangle?

A: A triangle is a polygon with three sides. A polygon is a two-dimensional shape with straight sides, and a triangle is a specific type of polygon with three sides. The sides of a triangle are connected to form a closed shape, and the angles between the sides are always less than 180 degrees. Triangles are classified based on their angles and side lengths, and there are many different types of triangles, including right triangles, equilateral triangles, isosceles triangles, and scalene triangles.

Q: how to calculate length of fourth side of triangle?

A: To calculate the length of the fourth side of a triangle, you will need to know the lengths of the other three sides and the angles between them. This information can be used to apply the laws of trigonometry to solve for the unknown side length.

Here is one way to calculate the length of the fourth side of a triangle:

Label the three known sides of the triangle as side a, side b, and side c.
Label the angles opposite the sides a, b, and c as angles A, B, and C, respectively.
Use the law of sines to find the length of the fourth side. The law of sines states that the ratio of the length of a side to the sine of the angle opposite that side is the same for all sides and angles in a triangle. This means that the following equation is true for any triangle:
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C) = d/sin(D)

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides and A, B, C, and D are the angles opposite those sides.

Substitute the known values for the sides and angles into the equation and solve for the unknown side length d. For example, if side a is 3, angle A is 30 degrees, side b is 4, and angle B is 45 degrees, the equation would be:
3/sin(30) = 4/sin(45) = d/sin(D)

Solving for d, we get:

d = (3/sin(30)) * sin(45) = 2.598

This means that the length of the fourth side of the triangle is approximately 2.598.
