This seems catastrophic unless they can be revoked?
He had zero government-granted powers to abuse at the time. Whether it's morally ok is a different question, but you can't deny that.
The first link shared multiple pictures including Hunter Biden nude and engaging in sexual activity. Another picture shows a bag white powder. Twitter took it down because it violated their hacked material policy. Sharing nude pictures without the person's consent is also against Twitter policy.

They did not ask to handle it, the person from Twitter replied "handled" (to another person at Twitter, for the record). It's in the screenshot of the email with the request.

For some people their infection with covid is going to be mild, and their infection with a cough or cold is going to feel to them similar to covid. But for other people covid is very much more severe than a cough cold.

I have cancer, I'm going through chemo. I must not catch a cold, because it could be really serious. But I really must not catch covid, because it could kill me.

I'm not expecting society to live in lock down to accommodate me, but if an event asks people to do lateral flow testing before attendance, and someone tests and is positive, I'd like them to not attend, or attend with masking and social distancing. I don't want them to attend, not mask, not socially distance, and then near the end of the event say "oh, by the way, I tested positive for covid this morning". I don't attend events because this is a thing that people do.

That can’t explain it!

Amazon is happy to rake an innovative and thriving seller over the coals arguably in an attempt to enforce policy violations!

So they have this whole team setup to do enforcement, and they are being totally manipulated and unwittingly weaponized?

So Amazon either (1) they simply don’t care which makes no sense because then why have the team in the first place, (2) their team cares very much and were just too stupid or ill-equipped to do their job and even got totally manipulated, or (3) Amazon actually wants this result and intentionally destroyed this company so that the bad actor could thrive?

None of that makes any sense! And this Chinese seller was apparently paying less in fees, so there isn’t even an economic motive!

And this story plays out over how many products/sellers every single day? So Amazon is the Wild West and their own trust and safety team is firing the bullets? Weaponized incompetence?!

Is there not a class action lawsuit in here somewhere? Amazon has inflicted serious economic destruction on their partner thru negligence or malice to be sure.

And of course we’ll never see a postmortem or any kind of apology. No transparency whatsoever when it comes to one of the world’s biggest online marketplaces?

The only explanation that would make any sense at all, for which there seems to be one piece of evidence, is that there’s an inside employee taking a large cut from the Chinese seller to boost their rank, kill their competition, and lower their fees. I’d guess on the order of 10% of total take. The only evidence is that somehow the Chinese seller got ahold of PII for the company that went bankrupt and threatened them personally. Where’d they get the contact info? Their lower fee and invulnerability to their own violations is also suggestive of an insider collaborator.

But then, if this is true there would be an audit trail a mile long…

In the end I’m left simply stunned at the level of gross incompetence which seems to permeate everything in this world, and yet somehow amazing things still do get built.

On deck: FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan a la his deposition yesterday that he held weekly meeting with big tech companies ahead of the 2020 presidential election?

Just business as usual. . .
I just left Amazon after working there for a couple of years because this is how they treat everyone: customers, contractors, employees, etc. They only care about themselves and how much money they make. They are the most stingy, selfish, and disrespectful company I've ever worked for. Glad to have them in my back mirror, both as an employee and a customer.

Does anyone know how much of a cost savings is due to moving to more software-driven tech? (kind of like in Teslas)
Yes, I agree with every point you made and I'm glad you liked my extremely long reply :) It was a somewhat tricky thing to articulate while also not dismissing the merit of having career ambitions as their own useful thing.
He did address the facts of the discussion... The fact is jumping to some ridiculous conclusion that there must be some conspiracy to feed dumb content to Americans is Sinophobic because there is no evidence to suggest such a ridiculous thing, when the obvious answer, as pointed out by grandparent, is much more reasonable of an explanation.
The amount of effort put into getting reference data correct at big banks is huge, but the volume of data is insane and often there are no good places to verify it.

I had similar experiences when supporting the ref data platform.

On one system holding ETF and Index data we had several thousand products each holding between 10 and a thousand components (eg DJI through Russel 3K). On each product and each component of it there are multiple major fields that need to be correct (price, quantity, multipliers, etc). Any mistake throws off the risk systems and trading in those products (eg basket trading an index, delta hedging, etc)

Millions of data points, and single data errors caused big trading errors.

The data itself could be wrong from the actual providers too, taking debugging into a whole extra level of complexity.
> We will have the ability to censor information passed to NZ IP addresses, or we will block the IP range, your choice.

I wish companies in the free world would unite to choose the latter option, and so force New Zealand to choose between giving in and allowing freedom of speech, or having their Internet become as useless as North Korea's.
> Khanna's message is clearly not a government official demanding that Twitter censor something (indeed, he's suggesting the opposite).

I never claimed it was, and yes I think he nailed what should have been said at that moment.

You're assuming that I'm arguing there were government misdeeds exposed by this release, but if you reread the chain above you'll find that I (1) felt this is not merely a "big redirection", (2) find government comms interesting, and (3) only speculated about a potential bombshell, which need not be a legal issue. (3) is based on us not having all of the data.

Musk is probably trolling us all per usual. He's got an even bigger megaphone now than before, so I'm interested to hear what he is saying.

> 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.

Is Trump still influential within the Republican party? It's fine if you don't think so.

Again I'm not saying that whoever wrote the "Biden team" email should be investigated as if they were a government official in 2020. I don't even know if the content of the messages would merit action if they were a government official.

I'm saying, Biden was influential, and that makes these conversations interesting, particularly in light of what Josh Hawley has been sharing regarding this admin's communications with Facebook [1]. Plus, one of the government agencies, CISA, was established under Trump, so it's not even like this is a partisan issue.

Both democrats and republicans will censor you if given the chance. We need to represent ourselves on the free speech issue. They are simply not incentivized to support the first amendment as written. Government officials regularly openly state that they want the private sector to voluntarily censor constitutionally protected speech [2], and the reason they do that is because they can't legally force private entities to censor protected speech.

Per jurisprudence (I don't know which case, sorry), it is also illegal for the government to get around the limits of the first amendment by compelling private entities to limit speech. I guess that would be hard to prove, but that's the other shoe that everyone in free-speech land seems to be expecting to drop at some point. Reason being, when you censor a little, it tends to grow and grow until you're censoring criticism of your censorship, and it starts to consume everything.

A more lightweight tool than emscripten is the WASI SDK (https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk/releases). It doesn't generate JS or HTML but you can run its output on the command line with wasmtime or wasmer.
There's no data in the thread which points to any internal metrics at Twitter which shows outsized influence by Democrats.

There's an implication based on the political donations of Twitter employees that that was likely the case.
> as in reality many of them were just using some basic ML models and calling it ground breaking AI to hype investors and potential hires

Without Phd in ML your chances for any leading AI company to hire you to work on SOTA ground breaking models as researcher are near zero, unless you are fine with devops/support roles.
As to normal work of ML engineer on not ground breaking stuff it's actually really boring.
You’ll spend a lot of your time just collecting + massaging data, slightly tweaking parameters to see tiny incremental improvement in your model.
> need to be $1 million

Brain fart: I mean $200k. I had originally re-edited values proportionally and I didn’t correct that.
It wouldn’t happen. Facebook works because it’s more than social media. You have a market place, clubs, businesses, etc on Facebook.

When you take all that away because you can’t advertise your Facebook page. Or your parents can’t just open their phone to see photos of your baby. The effort outweighs the benefit and people won’t use a vpn to access it.

Just a fringe group of people who want the content no matter what.
Absolutely. The Jam product itself is a clear reflection of poor practices. It is buggy, slow and really bad.
> FAANG doesn't do this.

They also have ridiculous interview practices that have nothing to do with the work you will be doing.

It's not automatically good just because FAANG does it.
Trying to single out the government from the people is a convenient way to justify an anti-China stance. Have you even considered the fact that even if the majority of Chinese may not like their own government, that doesn't mean they support yours?
One thing it can't really do is admitting that it doesn't actually know stuff. It's similar to creative pupil that asked specific question during lesson doesn't actually know the answer and just smoothly makes stuff up as they go.

I asked it how to destructure an iterator in rust. I got answer, with code examples and all. Which of course don't work because you can't directly destructure iterator in rust. You pretty much have to collect it into a Vec and the get slice of it and even then you need additional if to cover the case if it's wrong size.

So I pointed out to AI that you can't do it like that. To which it responded that I'm correct that you can't and even gave correct reasons why. And then proceeded with another confident explanation how you can do it. Also wrong, just slightly less wrong but also bit more off-topic.

Btw when at some point in my career I was helping with vetting potential software developer employees. That was one of the worst qualities a person might have. I was fine with people not knowing something and admitting to that. But I was absolutely scared of people who made stuff up when they didn't know.

My friend just played with it a bit too. Asked it to tell "Hello" in Japanese. Then asked how it is written in Katakana. Then AI responded wrongly and when my friend pointed out that it's actually hiragana it politely agreed.

It's a bit smarter now than it was, because when I asked it to teach me how to add numbers it produced reasonable explanation with correct examples which when I tried it last year resulted in equally confident garbage, but it's just that boundary shifted. The underlying problem of producing wrong answers instead being innately aware of limits of its knowledge still remains.

People touting AI as replacement for google search are still way off. It's great for making stuff up but might look good for simple queries but where it fails completely is on the boundaries of its knowledge because there's no indication that there's a boundary.
I turned it on, and now geolocation works. That's how it's related.

The US government have regulating contents on broadcasters since forever.
Sorry, are you calling California's anti-revenge porn laws unconstitutional censorship?
I'm not sure what counts as proof, but I think it's fair to point out that comparing a bare metal server to managed cloud storage is not like for like. For example, Google cloud storage offers automatic migration of cold data to tape, replication across regions allowing fast recovery in case of a failure, durability guarantees etc.

If that's not something you need then you could definitely save yourself a lot of money, but if you need to build some of that stuff out (and then monitor it, improve perf, upgrade when new drives come out, be on call for down time etc.) Then the cost comparison becomes less clear.
So it’s just hubris and they are laughing at the little ants that are running around getting squashed?
Paying maintainers isn’t a magic bullet
Is this really true at car companies? I don't know, legitimately curious

My sense at least is that at some point every company becomes "interchangeable people with business degrees and MBAs"

I agree that line is fairly low in tech, but curious about other industries
For collusion to be noteworthy there still has to be a crime committed. The allegation in the Trump-Russia collusion case is that they conspired to have foreign operators influence the election. This would have been an illegal act that they colluded on.

There is nothing illegal about requesting review of tweets even through special channels. If Twitter actually has evidence of an illegal act to coerce the review then they should probably rehire whoever was coerced and file suit.
Same. Amazon is just another ebay at this point.

Both have everything you can ever want and more, but way to much hassle to know if what I buying is legit and if it’s from a legit seller.

Amazon used to be my first option for years and now is my last.
How come I can't find this story on the front page of:

- CNN
- CNBC
- New York Times
- LA Times

However, stories about how people are "fleeing" Twitter, Twitter is losing more advertising revenue, and Kanye are readily on the front pages?
Everybody already uses a VPN in New Zealand. Netflix bro.
Yeah, actual credential phishing attacks can be sophisticated and well put together. The ones where they will make mistakes on purpose to weed people out are the ones where they are REALLY looking for a target to squeeze. They will keep some of these people on for extended periods of time and get loads of money from them.

I have a friend that got a message from a "girl" over the summer. It was like "Hello Dear Joseph, I would like to no if you can help me with to practice English. I find you profile today and I have a work visas starting in 90 days to come to your city for work and I am wanting to make new friends and practice my english!! Sorry if this bothered to you. ~~EMOJIS~~~
- Signed Brazilian Model.

So far I think he's 8 grand into helping her. I'm sure it's more now because that was like before Halloween and it's impossible to convince him that it's a scam.
This idea was made popular by the Microsoft paper that was linked in the article. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...

However the paper itself doesn't present any evidence around the scammer's intention. Rather it presents a mathematical model under which it would make sense for a scammer to intentionally exclude a large swathe of victims, and it posited that misspellings is a way to achieve it.
I doubt naked pictures of a candidate son is as damaging as the leader of the FBI saying they investigating a candidate before her election.
No. You got the right impression. It is indeed doing "next token prediction" in an autoregressive way, over and over again.

The best source would be the GPT-3 paper itself: https://paperswithcode.com/method/gpt-3
It used to be illegal, but New Zealand had a referendum in which people voted to legalize euthanasia.
Yeah so this is an interesting point, the non-utility thst may secretly be a utility. See also net neutrality and censorship claims there.

You could make a similar argument for news, another non-utility. They seem to have a model where outlets have a distinct pov that guides a variety of informal and formal censorship. Right wing doesn’t write stuff that looks bad for them, left wing too, local news follow local interests, etc.
Cheap excuse for a country of shooters.

Just say that you like to plunder.
Not really, because people will still use the dominant framework because that's where all the research, examples, libraries are.
Why is this propaganda bullshit on the front page. I gotta ask about moderation on HN here.

This is literally moderation, "the twitter files" my ass. They pretext political contributions and falsley connect legitimate moderation to that. Of course they should have blocked that story and still should. Oh, but get this, it's their platform they get to do what they want. They are not an impartial government agency.

In this case there is no evidence of political bias, they saw danger and erred on the side of caution.

What I'm dumbfounded by is why there are so many upvotes and comments of all places on HN.
All of the defenders of the policy reminds me of when Google's CEO Eric Schmidt in 2009(!) famously defended mass surveillance:

> "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."

If what the gov is censoring is so important then they should publicly post a list of everything they censored (Google's public DMCA list is a good example). They have nothing to hide right? If it's for the public good then the public should have the option to see what they were being protected from.

Tell me to go to bed in the style of Edsgar Djikstra

"Dear human, it is time for you to retire for the evening and rest your weary mind. Your body and mind require adequate rest in order to function properly, so please do not deprive them of the opportunity to rejuvenate. Go to bed now and dream of the elegant algorithms and elegant proofs that await you in the morning. Sweet dreams, dear human."
Another trick they use is to flood a new listing with 5 star one line reviews (verified purchase).

What they do is buy their own product, review it, and put it back into inventory, losing only the delivery and commission fees.
I would be really interested to see how it performs on GRE (The stupidest exam ever invented). I think it will do great on writing and qualitative but I doubt about quantitative part.

Edit:
I actually tried quick trial to let ChatGPT take one quantitative practice exam (16 questions) using the same way the OP feed the questions. I was surprised that the result was 5/16 correct answers. This was even worse than I guessed. Indeed, this is just heuristic attempt and maybe someone (or me) will have more serious one later. If you are interested into what were the question and answers that, They are here [1]

i.e to how I fed the question was

> If x+2y= 4 and x+3y= 9. Find the correct option.
Quantity A = x
Quantity B = y

choices:
Quantity A is greater
Quantity B is greater
Both Quantities are equal
The relationship cannot be determined

And the answer was

> The correct answer is 2) Quantity B is greater.

To solve this problem, we can first note that the equations x+2y=4 and x+3y=9 can be solved simultaneously to find the values of x and y.

and it went to explain the steps.

yeah, that’s what i thought i read, thanks.

no outside person asked twitter to “handle” anything. they asked them to review it.
I hate to break it to HN. Governments always censored TV and Movie content. Perhaps it's time to grow up a little.
Let's just assume that not ALL government agencies employ rocket scientists.
The article says that their focus should be on "new code, not rewriting existing components" and that Rust code is used in "new functionality and components".

Yes, one is named "keystore2" but you don't seem to actually know anything about it (nor do I). It seems doubtful to me that they would rewrite a perfectly working component in Rust just for fun. Most likely the original keystore, whatever language it was written in, was not meeting its requirements and needed to be replaced.
