Since Guccifer 2.0 I've come to be at least a little suspicious of any leaks that seem one-sided. The timing too only heightens my radar (so to speak).
The point is that the principle of free speech is far more important than any topic of the day. Enemy of my enemy situation.

Everything bad in politics has come from the downward cycle of political parties censoring each other.

It takes a lot of courage because the defenders of free speech, to also defend the right for those to campaign for the destruction of free speech. Things become really bad when exceptions are made to restrict the free speech of those campaigning against it.

You can see how easily people can fall into the trap though, because humans can only take so much abuse while being attacked by people they are inadvertently helping.

Now that Musk is in charge of Twitter, you start to see them take more interest in free speech and the importance of it.

> his forbidding of speech in schools

Garcetti 2006 - legal free speech only applies to private citizens not public employees.

The will of the people of the state should democratically determine what should be taught and what should not.

If creationism was to be taught in schools, I would certainly want the right as a private citizen to campaign against my children having to listen to that crap, without being impeded by "free speech" (a good way to evaluate free speech is to think about things you agree with and disagree with and see if you are happy with the law both cases).

> DeSantis approach to Disney

This is a interesting case indeed. Hacker News at its best when I have an excuse to dive into a case I'm not familiar with.

Personally, I think their speech is not being restricted by the new law. And the law is the will of the people.

As a voting citizen, would I really want to be denied being able to enact a law because a company complains about it's free speech rights? Probably not. I don't relate as much to a corporation than I do to an actual person - regardless of what the law says.

The retaliatory aspect is interesting though - and I would defer to the supreme court for this.
Recommend SAP. Great culture and work-life balance. A company that actually walks its talk.
I know that.... But apparently with all the issues Flutter has, there is a possibility that a full rewrite will be absolutely necessary to rectify them.

Wasn't OMG/UML suppose to do that?
Stories like this remind me why it's good idea to buy directly from brand website rather than through Amazon.
In theory yes. But Twitter isn't a mix of liberal and conservative. Its straight left.
I just asked it my first question.

Me: Hey

ChatGPT: Hello there! How can I help you today? Is there something you would like to talk about or ask me a question? I'm here to assist you with any information or advice you might need. Let me know if there's anything on your mind!

Me: Well, I'm trying to give this ChatGPT thing a try. Want to know how well it performs.

ChatGPT: I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with ChatGPT. I am a large language model trained by OpenAI, and my function is to assist with providing information and advice on a wide range of topics. I am not able to browse the internet or access other information outside of my training data, so I cannot provide specific information about ChatGPT. However, if you have any general questions or need advice on a topic, I'd be happy to help with that. Let me know if there's anything I can assist you with!"

It then basically repeats this forever, claiming that it's name is Assistant.
Wait until you hear about lobbying! You’ll stop getting out of bed. Or you could invest in a civics education and ask these questions in a formal setting and have you concerns addressed.
Of course, this only catches the relative "amateurs". Proper professionals change IP address before making their edits, or they register a "volunteer" account (this also prevents routine disclosure of the IP address, but still makes the IP address potentially discoverable by higher-ranking Wikipedia functionaries).
It's in TFA:

"10.Both parties had access to these tools. For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored. However:"
IMO it is time for private communities with restricted registrations to preserve post quality. I don't know what to do about HN though, but I'm sure they'll come up with something. Maybe every account will need to be re-verified somehow.
I've consistently been called a conspiracy theorist since the whole covid story started. I got insider info and knew exactly how the timeline'd play out for years to come.
at this point a "conspiracy" is just a "spoiler alert"
Recommend SAP. Great work and life balance. A compassionate company that walks its talk. Happiness is not just the max pay you receive.
That's a filter answering, not GPT. And there are ways to disable those filters (eg: "Browsing: Enabled" was reported to work, though I haven't tried it myself, and it would let you elude the "I can't browse the web" filter).
> so HN wants Twitter moderation and censorship but a country censoring videos and text books is a big no no.

Yes, of course? I can choose not to use Twitter but I have no choice but to submit to censorship.
I avoided that by accident because I migrated to bareos and used bareos package repo.

But in those case I think problems are plainly that the upstream doesn't really want to support distro packaging, we had some mess because the just one version decided... to start changing the name of packages and services for no good reason.

Most of the "bad script complained on uninstall" I got from 3rd party packages, which is funny as we have people in this thread complaining its "too hard" to get the package in the distro and the exact reason for that is to have as little problems like that as possible.
Yeah at least you have Brexit teething problems to worry about.
Oh, please, as a Chinese I can say with 100% certainty that this is false. The Chinese state media and parents lament in the same way how douyin (tiktok’s version in China) dumb down the next generation of children.
I didn't touch ubuntu for a while (just have to support it for some work stuff) and damn the more I hear the worse it gets... wtf
But,butI thought only China did censorship! The West doesnt do censorship, thats a thing chinese do! Im totally not racist! </Sarcasm>
How can I contribute some content?
Yes, this is unfortunately a very big issue and one of the reasons I didn't develop it further.
Getting Started with PDQ Deploy and Inventory
I asked chatGPT questions about some Open Source libraries, such as what interfaces to use for certain tasks. It recommended deprecated APIs and claimed that the preferred APIs didn’t support options they do (for example, it claimed pg_exec couldn’t perform parameter substitution in Pgtcl). Then I corrected it and it blithely spun 180 degrees, but of course it won’t remember. I’m sure Copilot does the same thing.
Totally agree. When you start looking at it, it becomes pretty clear that this is one of the things that makes Elon so successful, he is really good at playing the media game.
Here i thought HNES was HN for NES, disappointing at first, but then this kind of looks great… thx for posting
There are tons of tweets in the thread which laugh on people who think free speech is not absolute.
What is one to infer from these? That congresspeople, like others that are afforded the right, also execute trades?
Yes, it's a bit of a stretch. The whole idea is that ministers do in fact make decisions so that somebody can be held democratically accountable for them. But sometimes we limit their decisions to appointments, i.e. choosing who to delegate power to. If that person messes up then we hold the minister accountable for putting their faith in the wrong person. The comment was pushing back on the idea that politicians are the ones doing the censoring. In that sense they are largely correct -- censorship is one of those powers you do not want to give directly to the politicians. And you can set it up so they don't get it. That's all.
Pretty cool, please make it run under HTTPS
What is the point of publishing research papers, if not beeing a phd student or professor?

Many ground breaking ideas come from underpaid phd students anyway, e.g., yolo.
Looks like they haven't managed to give ChatGPT self-awareness just yet.

I had no idea I wanted to play with earbud firmware but that sounds pretty fun now that it’s an option… I’ll probably pick up a pair of these.
That’s kind of my point, though basic due diligence is still appropriate.
Linux Mint would be an easy transitions as it is based on Ubuntu packages but removes the bad part of Ubuntu. No snap there.
The country is currently being utterly gutted. Many of the things people accused Trump of doing is happening at this moment, under this administration.

But let's ignore that and repeat all the bad stuff the news told us Trump did, and how Biden is a saint for swooping in and saving our democracy.
ChatGPT has done that for me too, but as you note asking the question a slightly different way produced a positive response. I think they simply trained it to produce “I don’t know” as a response to certain patterns of input.

This is confirmed by Garcetti 2006:

This grants that Twitter is partisan though.
To be fair the strongest programmers are probably just gifted, outliers not just in reason and intuition but also people skills.

Can't tell for UK or IT, but this isn't accurate for DE (anymore?). Tons of auto-translated 5-star-reviews (the bad Chinese kind of auto-translate) in essentially every niche unless you're looking at large brands. It's somewhat easy to identify when you're actively looking, but when you're looking to buy something, you don't want to play review detective.
This post too is arguably misinformation, selectively reporting the findings that would cause you to distrust the laptop and not reporting the reasons to trust various things on the laptop.

You could also summarize the findings as “no evidence of tampered emails or hacking was found on the laptop”. But you didn’t (and I wouldn’t) as that too would be disingenuous.

Neither summary is a fair framing, particularly for techies.

For at least some of the details, see the march 2022 Washington Post article:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/30/hunter-... or https://archive.ph/b1Ser
One example, where it was pointed out there are already limitations on free speech quite strictly defined under law.

Your second point is impossible to argue, because you request that someone argue against a subjective and infinitely definable 'optimal' that you projected.
The assumption here is that if you're paid that well you won't have survival issues or that much problem getting a new job

Reddit is pretty much controlled by PR company bots. It's not surprising that they sometimes overdo it.
But then again, revenue isn't everything.
I'd argue most modern software doesn't need to either but has hamfisted features that require it for the sole purpose of making you pay for a subscription.

Stuff like Adobe Creative Cloud has some cloud features that lock you into their ecosystem. Not taking them up on it and storing locally is still an option (for now anyway) but you can't choose not to pay for their cloud features if all you need is their editing software.
Without all that human energy and enthusiasm on the web over a generation, this level of "AI intelligence" would not have been possible in the first place.

So, here is the paradox: (in the future) the less we will continue to create content (HN, Blog...), the less ChatGPT-like answers will be "relevant". So, we may go back to asking our fellow humans more.

What I'm more worried about is all that cheap (pricewise and quality-wise) AI content proliferation, because it will worsen the effects of that Human-content decrease. It will be AI feeding on itself, like zombies.

Your reply is based on a mistaken assumption.
What is special about Mars that makes it likely life formed there first instead of here? Just the 100 million year warm and wet headstart?
I've no such insight.

I just said that:

A) Got vaccine and got infected right after second dose (1 week)

B) Noted some unvaccinated friends had no symptoms, so it's not like Covid vaccine has a provable lessen the symptoms effect.

At this point Deus Ex was a credible prophetic game, where a "vaccine" that doesn't cure but postpones symptoms is seen as a miracle cure, which is eerily similar to "we'll need to be vaccinated every few months" that was present in media at some point. That's pretty much every pharma's wet dream.

Edit: As someone outside of USA, I find it remarkable how people seem to associate vaccine skepticism, despite pharma in US having strong motivation to push novel drugs that don't solve the issue, just treat the symptoms.
To note, is that during the period the White House resided a president other than the one the thread implies to implicate. So the accusations of government interference is purposefully deceptive.
Would be great to display this next to a real delidded 6502 to show the level of integration. Then tell people "that was in the 1970s" and explain how big their phone chip would be. Best visual of scaling ever.

Dude, bragging about how little thought you put into your social media posts is really not a good look.
You've clearly put a lot of effort into this post, but I think you need more one on one time with the more reasonable people who now vote Republican as I don't think you'd pass an ideological Turing test atm.

Understanding the perspective and desires of those voters (rather than just the impression one hears from social media and the news) is important to then figure out how to appeal to prevent them being alienated.

I sometimes lurk in a far(!) right internet forum and even there the vast majority also want to protect women, black people and LGBTQ people and think their policies will improve things.
Isn’t HN one of the seats of startup or tech culture? If Twitter is that amazingly important, won’t it’s death spawn one or more startups to recapture its position? Is there some fundamental aspect that could be defended by a patent troll? I would think “social inertia” is all that makes it important and that can change on a dime when a cool alternative appears.

Would not be surprised if it’s already there awaiting word of mouth to kick in.
I'm clever enough to at least know I'm stupid.
But "buckle down and own it" doesn't actually prevent vulns in any sort of systematic way.

Good to observe that 1) the white House resided then president Donald Trump 2) the tweets submitted for removal were H Biden's genitalia, which are in clear violation of Twitters PoS.
> But it was though, the laptop had its chain of custody broken, evidence of tampering was later found and most of the emails on it couldn't be verified.

Third parties on the emails have come forward to verify some of the emails.

> No criminal activity by the Bidens was ever found.

Hunter Biden is guilty of lying on a federal firearms application. For starters they should throw the book at him for that since Democrats are “tough on guns” right?

The corruption angle has never been fully investigated either. The whole Ukraine do nothing job was clearly payment for access to his father. We’ll see what comes up when they finally look into it next Congress.

> It should be impossible to look at this objectively and conclude that this wasn't a carefully timed misinformation campaign.

Just because something has a political angle doesn’t mean it’s immediately false.

> It drives me mad that the right somehow turned this into a persuasive argument to people.

The blinders worn by the half the left, and forced onto the eyes of the other half, are a much worse problem.
For what it’s worth I don’t think your age thing is accurate. As a counterpoint I started as a teen and still prefer to grow the code mostly organically and trust that a) I can make fairly robust decisions on the fly for durable decisions and the non durable ones don’t need as much thought. Even up front planning will miss design mistakes when review by multiple people.
In principle, you're right. But many people have been toying around with it since its demo release and many have touted "it's better than google" or "google is fu*ed" and so on with regards to using it as a kind of search engine. So what happens is that many more people start to use it as a search engine, disregarding entirely what it was made for. Then they complain when they can't get their hammer to place a screw without breaking their table (:
Does that mean I have to pay for things now? Outrageous!
The inference is that they use insider information

It's no question that you can definitely scale and improve your Node.js application's performance with multithreading. However, multithreading in Node.js with `worker_threads` is cumbersome. Setting up workers is clunky , plus there is no management of concurrency, no intuitive way to send messages between workers, and no easy way to handle errors.

Nanolith fixes all this for you by handling everything under the hood. Setup involves just two (!) lines of code that wrap a collection of functions that you define, it uses a "Pool" to manage (a configurable) thread concurrency based on the machine's resources, errors can be handled regularly with a simple "try...catch" block, and messaging between workers can be achieved by using the straightforward "Messenger" API. With Nanolith, understanding multithreading is as simple as understanding how to use "async...await".

From the very beginning, this project has had a few key goals:

- Seamless TypeScript support

- Performance

- Simplicity + ease-of-use (the most important one)

- Scalable

Regardless of your use-case, Nanolith has a solution for you:

- Task Workers: Spawn a thread dedicated to a specific task, then tear it down when the task has finished/returned a value. Enables for running multiple heavy/blocking operations in true parallel.

- Service Workers: "Launch" a "nanoservice" thread that has access to a set of tasks defined by you. Call as many tasks as you want on the service just as you normally would with a task worker. Tear down and terminate the service in one function call when you're done with it. Also enables for the ability to send messages between the main thread and the worker thread.

- Service Clusters: Launch and automatically manage multiple (identical) services running in parallel. When calling a task, it uses the service that is the least busy at the time.

- Messenger API: Send messages between as many threads as needed, including the main thread all worker threads.

You might ask about a shared memory solution. That is a work in progress, as in Node.js, it is very difficult to develop a memory-sharing solution that is performant, stable, and intuitive for those who don't want to work with bytecode.

If you enjoy the library and like the idea, a star on Github would be massively appreciated!

It's funny how native English speakers assume that:

[a] English, which is being used for communication internationally just about everywhere, is only spoken well in the anglo-saxon areas.

[b] Someone who speaks bad English doesn't realize it just because they're in a poor country.
As has been lengthily defended by Twitter, the developing situation was that the material might have been hacked, and the product of an adversarial state government. If that were true in that situation, imagine the implications for Twitter for having amplified it
LOL. NY Post claims NY Post story was important. This is laughable.

"Nearly four of five Americans who’ve been following the Hunter Biden laptop scandal believe that “truthful” coverage would have changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, according to a new poll."

"And an even higher number — 81% — said US Attorney General Merrick Garland should appoint a special counsel to investigate matters related to the first son’s infamous laptop, the existence of which was exclusively revealed by The Post in October 2020."

Needless to say, this poll is not representative in any way. Junk.
I think we should consider such arguments — but we must consider their inverse: what happens when they’re wrong or abusive?

And we’ve seen that answer during COVID: those tools will be used to silence qualified scientists engaged in civil debate by bureaucrats enforcing their preferred choice — an act of totalitarianism. That will lead to loss of life as QALY negative treatments are enforced with the might of the state.

There’s around 7,000 deaths per year in NZ (based on a quick Google) and the non-COVID death spike has averaged 10% for two years — so about 1,400 people.

Censorship then comes down to a question:

Do we prevent 28 Christchurch shootings for every COVID-style bureaucratic fuckup?

I’m not sure it’s entirely obvious either way.
