Do you have an explanation for YT is NOT ok even at small dosages?
I had a similar insight about the need for a registry of "reactions" when switching from one chat program to another. Work Slack vs friend Slack or whatever. There's no way to take your built up custom library of reactions with you.

The custom reactions start to become shared cultural artifacts and snapshots of the evolution of a community over time. They're surprisingly important, to the point where I've heard people say (and have felt myself) that moving to a different chat program and not having some key reactions actually made it more difficult to express yourself. Almost like having a speech impediment.

Anyway, I'm working on this open and portable reactions libraries thing if anyone is interested in brainstorming about it.
It seems to me that as a subject pool, Twitter is extremely bad (like other options that researchers tend pick out of frugality, like Mechanical Turk). Why use it at all?
Fake restaurant hit No.1 on TripAdvisor. Will internet stop eating our trust?
That's correct. Rare earth magnets with double sided tape keep the keyboard in place. The mouse pad is magnetic and the edges are metallic to attract a magnet attached to the mouse which anchors it and keeps it from falling. Instead, I use a trackpad which I find more comfortable.
That's described in the article:

> it boils down to this: I go in, meet the engineers, and learn what parts of my projects they use and how; then, I keep those use cases in mind in my own planning and I reach out and involve them for feedback when there are relevant changes on the roadmap. This improves outcomes for everyone: I want my projects to work well for users (regardless of whether they are paying me) and no one wants to find out something’s wrong after the release.

That model is expanded on here: https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/reciprocal/

Indeed, and similar arguments have been made in defense of slavery as well, back when it was socially acceptable to defend it.

> And yes, you hear much about Israel, and less about other barbaric conflicts, but how does this prove antisemitism?

Every BDS-supporter is aware of all the other conflicts, they just don't care because no Jews involved. Hell, they'll happily ally with Erdogan and support his regime.

> Those acts are horrific too, but that doesn’t minimize the acts Israel is committing.

Of course, and pulling over Black drivers is perfectly reasonable. But if you concentrate only on Black drivers, it's not their driving that you have a problem with, that's just the excuse you make.
I physically removed our only television from the lounge to behind some furniture because our eldest (who was 6) was behaving more and more like a drug addict: alternating wheedling, begging, pleading, shouting, to get television.

Once I did that, and he saw it really wasn't an option, he changed quite quickly - after around 3 months - and we have it back now, although there's no screen time except weekends (or if someone's ill). Seems to be working so far.

Zero YouTube, though. Don't trust it. Might revisit at some point, but even then I'd want the paid version to remove ads.
Fanfilms are actually a fair use case I learned recently (went down a rabbit hole after discovering the wide world of Friday the 13th fan made sequels)

Need feedback on our 99designs logo design contest
Hi everyone,

I'm currently hosting a logo design contest on 99designs for my Shopify app, Delm Delivery Date Estimator.

I would really appreciate if you could take a moment to check out the designs and give me some feedback via the poll on 99designs.

The poll link is: https://en.99designs.de/contests/poll/4bc1cad60f

And for context here's the app store listing: https://apps.shopify.com/delm

Thanks in advance!

PS: I understand the criticism aimed at 99designs, but participating in a design contest isn't just about winning prize money. Designers know what they're signing up for and can still benefit greatly from the experience. They have the chance to learn and improve their skills, and may even end up with a one-on-one client project as a result.
You think 3-6 yo kids can get radicalized by YT fake news?
Intelligent agents need not mirror human psychology or emotions. The creation of something extremely powerful that doesn’t think like we do is a very real possibility.

In human beings, what we consider normal is actually a very fragile and delicate balance. Changes in chemical operation of the brain have outsized effects on emotion, perception, and even sanity.

With A[G]I, I think it’s helpful to think of code or architectural changes as analogous in some respects to chemical changes. In other words, if all it takes to spin up an AGI is 30,000 lines of code, then I bet rendering the thing psychotic intentionally or unintentionally would just take a few lines somewhere.

Agents capable of recursive self-improvement at silicon speeds that can easily be rendered psychotic or malevolent even by accident, is not something that I think the public should have access to, let alone anyone.

If it’s less than human, it can still have superhuman capability. The paperclip maximizer is the classic example of a tool AI run amok. Whether it counts as AGI is up for debate. Is tool AI a path to AGI? I think it is.
Or, come to the Dark Side. We have comptime!
Yes, this is my point, and the commenter is displaying exactly the moral tendency I'm wary of in cinema.

Ironically, if you just watch the darn film, you see it for what it is. It's also not a morality tale, it's mostly just entertainment. They're all faulty people, and 'it's complicated'. You can hate them and sympathise with them at the same time.

I suggest almost nobody has a problem with 'Casino' the way it is - I do however believe that it wouldn't get made today, for exactly the 'moral concerns' that the commenter indicated.

Not only are studios risk averse, there's a culture of people who would just feel such a depiction immoral and 'problematic' as though everything we see is a morality tale, or, that these films directly influence behaviour a bit like Joe Rogan yapping on about vaccines when he probably should not be ... except that this is different.

And possibly generation of writers who don't come across enough 'ugly people' in real life to provide fodder as writing material. We're just all becoming a bit too genteel without accents, colour, hints of ethnic orientation.

Oh - and teeth. Look at the teeth. Everyone has perfect teeth on film. It's hilarious. It happened over a few years, but now it's unthinkable that someone doesn't have a perfect smile, even the bad guys. Compare it to British TV where they don't select for that and it becomes obvious.

The baddies had braces and definitely use 'Crest Strips' and god forbid they don't smoke or drink coffee!
That's precisely the reason Mesos lost - It didn't come batteries included with a scheduler, and nobody ever packed Aurora+Nomad nicely.
Dear @subtech I was curious if you tried other approaches, such as the same thing with lyrics instead of audio?

Also, you note "I’ve indexed ~120M+ songs from the iTunes catalog" -- could you share some of the libraries/tools you used and which you did or didnt like?
Well that is their fault for basing their entire business on someone else’s API.

Twitter’s API terms are subject to change and now it has become a paid service. So it is time for those companies to pay up.
> I wouldn't mind too much but it's even starting to contaminate things I thought were unrelated to the American cultural context like open source projects and programming language communities.

You're definitely not alone there. All we can do is keep pushing back.
What age are you talking about?
I'm likely wrong in some subtle (or not subtle) way, but here's how I think of time dilation:

We, and everything on Earth, are traveling through 4D spacetime at the speed of light. Most of that is in the time domain, because the Earth, Solar System, Galaxy, etc., are all moving a very small fraction of the speed of light, so the X,Y,Z components are small. (Kind of like being on a Bloch sphere in quantum computing.)

Any time you move in X,Y,Z, to keep the total magnitude of of spacetime the same, the time component is necessarily smaller. You have to push other particles in the opposite X,Y,Z directions for this to happen, a paradox occurs to me

Does the total momentum through time get conserved? If so, how does that work?
No, not at all. Seems like by account was restricted due to https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/supplemental-terms/#cloudfl...

2.Cloudflare may, with or without notice to you and without liability of any kind, temporarily limit your storage and/or the number of requests you can make or receive using the Developer Platform for any reason (in its sole reasonable discretion), including without limitation, if processing such requests would put an undue burden on the Cloudflare network, adversely impact the Service, or otherwise threaten the integrity of Cloudflare’s networks.
> advances in nuclear fusion or other technologies that lower the price of CO2 neutral electricity

We are still far from the point where anybody serious could reasonably affirm that advances in nuclear fusion would be expected to lower the price of CO2 anywhere in the foreseeable future.

That does not mean we should slow down R&D in nuclear fusion in any way but rather bet on the fast deployment of renewables if the objective is to lower the price of C02 neutral electricity in the coming decade(s).
I believe by 1961 Le May had handed SAC over the General Powers as head of SAC, not exactly a man known for his subtlety:

"Restraint? Why are you so concerned with saving their lives? The whole idea is to kill the bastards. At the end of the war if there are two Americans and one Russian left alive, we win!"
Winter sports are like any other - kids join local clubs at early age and compete within their age category. No different then ballet, dancing, soccer, American football, basketball.
Sure, I guess. My point is that Bill Gates is going something quite different from John Carmack (funding research outside his area of expertise, rather than doing the research himself), so that the comparison is not very illuminating.
There was a ton of Omega inspiration in K8s, in the sense that Omega was mostly a failed software project, and while the scheduler potions ended up being backported, K8s mostly avoided doing the hard things and settled for good enough because of it.
>My thinking would be that if there is less API access, there is less people accessing tweets, one way or another,

the real problem from a business standpoint is less people trying stuff out and figuring hey maybe I could actually build a business on this, time to move up to the paid tier.

Also no devs at companies have played with twitter api because devs not going to spend money to play, so never say in meeting actually we can solve this with Twitter's api, we just have pay for a licence and I can write the solution! So maybe business look for other ways to solve problems.
But do you watch YouTube or use screens around him? That's my problem with the advice to limit screen time. Why should I be telling my child not to do something that everyone around him is doing?
You missed: Youtube is teaching your kids white nationalism.
I'm very interested in this. I also have clients with very large usage volumes on CF
Here's what brought me here. I have a twitter account under my real name which I've never tweeted, and I'm afraid to even like a conservative post by Elon Musk because I feel like someone will find my account and judge me and I won't get my next job because of it. Ridiculous? I know. But I can't be the only one who self censors in today's world.
I quit my job a couple years ago and secured several small retainers over a few weeks using my network. My employer at the time generously agreed to be my first client to smooth the transition.

Today I have am managing 8 active retainer clients, and regular 1-2 week audit contracts, while rarely working more than 40 hours a week. Virtually all code I write is open source, or on track to be so soon, and I only work with clients okay with that.

I am making triple my previous salary, and am actually onboarding new team members as a "tier 1" to help me meet demand without overworking myself.

I am a full stack security engineer with 20 years of experience, and most companies can't have access to senior security engineers without paying GAFAM money in the range of $600k+ total comp, which they just can't afford.

Instead I offer most companies start a retainer with my team and I for as little as 10 hours a month and we can be there when they need help with security architecture, important code reviews, risk assessments, conducting interviews, or just to help unblock people in general.

This model is a win for companies that can't yet afford experienced full time security hires in house, and it is a win for me who can be in control of my time and life with higher income, and only have to focus on the most interesting problems of many different companies with minimal exposure to internal politics.

I can't express how much happier I am. Best career choice I ever made. YMMV.

The one of "similar-sounding" is:

"Смели Граничари
Димитър Коларов & Стоянка Колева"

or

"The Brave Border Guards"

It's a very Soviet song from such a different world that if you send "Man Man" to it in a time machine, the group will immediately end up in the Gulag.

So, it's all about the "similarity" definition.
But it's fun of course.
> Windows itself is virtualized when WSL2 is turned on

Is there documentation/explainer for this? I've been trying to understand more about this (was this a change in Windows 11? Is it only when WSL2 is installed?) for a while now, but not found anything apart from stray HN comments every now and then.
They cared about the commercial third party ones, just not about the free beer ones.
Question is how does this broadening of horizons actually help with anything? When we are heavily constrained on both our ability to collect data and analyze that data, exploding the search space seems counter-productive.

We need some way of prioritizing the search work and for that purpose looking first for life as we know it makes sense as that is where we are most likely to be able to identify life.

If searching for life as we know it does not produce results then of course it makes sense to broaden the search. But that is more relevant debate for our children than for us.
YouTube is the best invention in modern history. While working I can passively listen to thousands of ideas in a year often curated by my interests automatically.

We don't teach people how to use these things well but we should.
i'm about to move a significant amount of traffic to cloudflare. holding off until i see how this is handled. Can you please update this to reflect the total time of service outage and time to resolve. As a busy tech company, this is an unneeded problem. We pay cloudflare to be fast. Not make our sites slow and unresponsive.
I would bet the majority of developers at Google do not work on revenue generating projects.
It really annoys me that there isn't an option to block certain youtube channels. There is loads of fantastic content on youtube, and the kids love it. But when you set them up with something and come back and crap like this with 278M views is playing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4xFWIKVT6s They turn into zombies watching that crap.
It's the issue with the concept of sponsorship. It's still associated with optional donation rather than payment for a service or tool you need. That mindset shift is huge. Until someone does it we'll continue in the way we're going.
Most "content" is made by "influencers" and thats kinda the point
How are you using the workers? Is the JSON cached? Where do you get the JSON?
The actual findings, as reported in the very link you post:

> "We found that YouTube's recommendation algorithm does not lead the vast majority of users down extremist rabbit holes, although it does push users into increasingly narrow ideological ranges of content in what we might call evidence of a (very) mild ideological echo chamber," the academics disclosed in a report for the Brookings Institution.

> "We also find that, on average, the YouTube recommendation algorithm pulls users slightly to the right of the political spectrum, which we believe is a novel finding."

So, about as close to being an "indoctrination engine for white nationalism" as a librarian that recommends books you like. And I am saying this as someone who reads Jacobin and watches any interview with Chomsky I can find.
Awesome!

It's quite common in Europe for communities that live near the ski areas or have convenient public transport to them. You see lots of kids racing in the Pyrenees. Ski areas here often offer discounted season passes for kids and local residents. It's a relatively accessible sport if you live near by. If you don't then it can be expensive (lodging, ski passes and equipment).
Japan is similar. It has a large number of ski resorts and they often have low cost lodging nearby. Kids from the local communities learn to ski young.
Absolutely. It is speculated that the increasing oxygen level caused a mass extinction event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Oxidation_Event

Change has winners and losers. Microbes who evolved to thrive in an anaerobic environment suffered, us oxygen breathers gained advantage.
Because Smalltalk big supporters like IBM, decided to repurpose their Smalltalk offerings into Java.

Visual Age Smalltalk had a role similar to .NET on the OS/2 ecosystem, SOM (OS/2 version of COM) supported Smalltalk, implementation inheritance and meta-classes, so yeah it didn't help to go full on Java.

Also another Visual Age thing, Visual Age for C++ v4 also had a Smalltalk like experience for C++, unfortunely it was too demanding in resources.
I recently signed up to CloudFlare for their Yubi key deal that was still being advertised on their website. A week later I received an email saying only customers subscribed by a certain time could claim the offer.

I asked them to delete my data or provide the Yubi offer and they did neither. So they sit in an email folder known as bad companies. Because my data has value and they lied to obtain it for their own gain (aka fraud).

In Canada we have private prosecution/rules about falsely acquired data. Every bad story on HN puts me closer to opening that folder up and ensuring my data costs at least 100k.

Enough is enough.

Gosh, I feel so irresponsible for intervening with the kind of information that children consume. Perhaps it’s better I expose them to alcohol and drugs sooner than later!
Wonderful idea and well designed interface.

Unfortunately failed quite spectacularly for the song I selected. I chose "Why Hide" by Mark Ronson and it somehow managed to pick the exact music I tend to dislike.
Yes. I think many of those features are based on pre-NN feature detectors (such as BPM), and Danceability, Valence and Energy sound like primary components that have been given names.

Echo nest was great for its time, but if they have kept up, they're not exposing their more modern learned features to users anymore.
because most garbage now are all ready produced by script. chatgpt will actually improve them
Humans are hard-wired to universally like or dislike certain things — we suffer when we're hungry and we're afraid of death. Most of human morality is based on these reactions.

But AI can be configured to desire anything you want, you just have to pick a fitting reward function. So, is turning off the AI that is expecting to be turned off and desires it an amoral thing?
I guess the hardest bit is finding the line between stubbornly pushing dead idea forward vs "wouldn't it be cool if <...your idea...>, neah, that won't work" and you never even try.
Sadly dual booting isn’t really an option anymore. Apple Silicon based Macs do still have the ability to dual boot, but there’s no Windows-on-Arm builds available for them. Also, Apple actually made (or supplied, depending how you looked at it) all the Windows drivers for the various Intel Mac devices that could dual boot Windows. If Microsoft decided to target Apple Silicon, it would have to be a team effort with Apple to make all the drivers available. It would be an extra difficult thing to do because Apple Silicon now uses custom GPUs where before they were just the standard Intel iGPU or Nvidia/AMD discreet GPUs.
From the article itself

"Due to its status as de jure unclaimed territory, a number of individuals and organizations have attempted to claim Bir Tawil as a micronation. However, none have been taken seriously by the international community, and due to the remoteness and hostile climate of the region, the vast majority of these claims have been by declarations posted online from other locations."
My god man 'this is like slavery' (!!) and 'the ethnical issues'.

Stop it with this 'AGI' nonsense and even 'AI'.

Let's call it 'adaptive algorithms' and see it for what it is, just a neat bit of algebra trained on corpus data.

It's not a land conflict. It's a territorial dispute. There's no actual conflict happening with regards to Bir Tawil.
I can't speak for the entirety of europe but here in Germany, but the local equivalent of gender pronouns (/-innen) as well as rainbow flags in places where there is no reason for sex stuff at all is definitely a thing. Advertising is also pushing the same brainwashing (check the predominant races for each gender of couples in ads) and the mass import of muslim africans as well as the political refusal to admit when that causes problems (see e.g. discussions around the crime sprees over new year's, police/news reports omitting names when they they point at the cultural identity of the perpretators). It may not be as bad as the US, but that is only a matter of time.
In the UK actually I've often seen it called out (often written as 'x + bank holidays' or 'y including bank holidays').
It is a fun thought, but chemistry is not infinitely complex. Much like the Fermi paradox, once you start applying real world qualifiers on chemistry of complex life the search space becomes quite small.
