Can't speak for Unifi but the Wyze support is pretty dreadful. That's entirely on Wyze though and the price you pay for buying the cheapest option. Personally I'm going to replace all my Wyze hardware over time and kick them to the curb.

I'm starting with my Garage Door opener: I built one myself and connected it to Home Assistant which is connected to Google. Now I can open the door using Google Assistant, something I can't do with Wyze. I also don't have to open up their stupid app and wait for it to establish a video connection before I can tell it to open up the door.

Wyze is cheap and easy, but it's also hot garbage.
that's only specifically the first 10 amendments, which are generally referred to as the bill of rights as they were added to the constitution when it was ratified and cover most basic freedoms so they're taught in school

other rights-granting amendments are the post civil war ones which are slightly less well known but also covered in school
Ask HN: What Is the HN Stack?
What database is HN using, which programing languages? How big are the servers, how much content has been gathered over the years?

Is there some article that explains all of this?
If you read the article you will see examples of imbalanced moderation that conservatives have pointed out for ages with unfortunate dismissals (like yours? am I reading you correctly?) in response.

This article is useful as it places them in a relatively neutral investigative context.

It is obviously right that racist, sexist, etc bias is pointed out, but that case is not at all helped by complacency in response to political bias towards liberal mores when also clearly present.
If anyone knows of a CPA who thinks this isn't how it works now, please let me know their contact info, as I would love to pay them to advise me on this and get a third opinion.
But the Marvel movies make more money and sell more merchandise, which is really all that matters.
That's what media already does.
When people say reprehensible things, they receive an amount of backlash as a result (sometimes more than is reasonable).

The backlash has nothing to do with political ideology, however, so not sure why you're bringing it up. If your expectation is that 50% of backlash would be left leaning and 50% would be right leaning, I don't think that's reasonable, but if you think the backlash is because someone is conservative generally, you'd be mistaken.

There are a great many conservatives who can make their ideological arguments comfortably without being offensive. Conservative ideology isn't inherently offensive, but specific human beings say specific things that are reprehensible and when they do, it's called out.
The model needs known "good" feedback to improve. The problem is that the quality of its training data declines with the more output produced. It's rather inevitable that we'll be drowning in AI generated garbage before long. A lot of people are confusing LLMs with true intelligence.
This feels like an XKCD comic - Sarah Fletcher could easily be played by the Megan character.
> Except that's wrong. Theism is not a coherent framework at all, and it doesn't at all explain our origins in a way that's compatible with observation.

This misses the point, and I'd ask that you reframe how you read my statement as a thought experiment. Saying this is wrong is a claim you can now confidently make within the context of a system of understanding that has advanced far beyond the confines of what religion could explain. The inherent limits of religion necessitated some better explanation.

Prior to the existence of that new understanding, and during the time in which that new understanding was brand new, appeals to "how people talk and reason" were appeals to religion, and the arguments for it perfectly coherent given the tools of thought available at the time. As science introduced new tools, consensus thinking shifted accordingly.

My point is that an argument for compatibilism that appeals to the common vernacular as a primary point of validation is not a very convincing argument.

> You can crap on the law all you want, but it was the first great step towards social justice...

This is a binary mindset, and I'm not crapping on the law - it is both valuable and necessary. Finding issues with certain laws or modes of thinking about law are not an implication that laws are not useful. The point is that laws are just a tool, and are not by themselves an indicator of enlightenment or the best possible solution. We know this to be true by looking at the reform of immoral/unethical laws over time. The underlying frameworks of understanding used to author laws within the legal system are just as important as the legal system itself (see: abortion, slavery, segregation...).

If we only used the good things law has achieved to justify the existence of other laws, gay marriage would still be illegal, most states would still be incarcerating people for smoking weed, and segregation would still be alive and well.

> Science has an equally storied history of mistakes, and yet you clearly value its current state, and so I'm saying don't be so dismissive of progress and precedent in law.

I don't think I'm dismissing any progress or precedent at all. I'm saying we should not use precedent to stop us from making progress. This is something science is better at than some disciplines, but even science remains susceptible to dogma and binary thinking.

> Don't fail to learn the lessons of the past.

As a form of argument about philosophy, this is a problematic conclusion. At a minimum, you would need to explain why some lessons are better to learn than others, and on what basis they are better or worse.

But setting that aside, and in the context of our understanding of the science of human consciousness, why is there any implication at all that exploring the true nature of free will is incompatible with learning from the past?
The word has meaning imo. It's used to seperate the fan fiction and maintain consistency during world building. It's quite important for the popular stories of our time, Star wars and the Marvel cinematic universe.

I know some people hate those franchises but like it or not, they are some of the biggest mythologies that came out in our time.
Also a ton of successful HN posts are articles that are largely opinion, so this as a general rubric doesn't really hold.
It is surprising to see this from Mr. Kristof. Perhaps his recent foray into politics has motivated him to go out on this limb?
Valencia, for sure, but South Van Ness on the other side of Mission st isn't what I'd call nicer. Folsom (one more past South Van Ness) feels downright unsafe!
Another big one was The New York Times and Judith Miller uncritically parroting Bush administration lies about Saddam Hussein making nuclear weapons. It became so flagrantly bullshit that the New York Times actually apologized for it a year or two later, but by then it was too late.

I still read The New York Times, but I do so knowing they have an American establishment bias and will make themselves uncritical puppets of the government whenever they feel so inclined. Probably most of what they publish is usually more true than false, but you've always got to read it with a grain of salt. The newspaper is best as a bellwether for what the American establishment wants the American public to believe. Having "faith" is precisely the wrong way to read a newspaper.
Contrary to what seems to be common wisdom, increasing belief in misinformation is likely untrue [1]. I wonder if distrust in media stems from the fact that the democratization brought about by the internet has made people more aware of inaccuracies and bias than before. Not that the media is making more mistakes, but that people are more aware of them. Plenty of outlets half a century ago made glaring mistakes, but people probably didn't know. But now, when the media references a primary source it's often possible for people to immediately view the primary source themselves and see how it matches up with how the outlet described it. I suspect there's a significant segment of news producers and writers that don't understand this dynamic. They think they can get away with the same kind of slant as they could back in the days of print, they don't realize that I'm reading their article on one manner and googling their sources on the other.

If you call yourself "anti-fascists," and then go around acting like brownshirts, you're not actually anti-fascist.
Film studios can use deepfakes to bring back actors who passed away. Whistle-blowers could use it to have video calls with journalists without being identified. Privacy-minded regular folks could use it to have a YouTube/Twitch channel without revealing their identity.

These are just a few good-faith applications, but I think the list goes on.
Not plans yet. Still figuring out how to make money on Stable Diffusion.

Sigh. Not sure why it’s so difficult to comment on my phone vs a computer.
Agreed.

I'm not sure how I feel about "ban it" -- I can argue that either way -- but I do think that arguments that banning something is pointless because people will do it anyway are misguided.

Regulations don't eliminate the effects of bad actors, but they do reduce the number and severity of them.

Johnny here,

I'm a generalist software engineer (backend & ops focus) with experience in building apps from start to finish (architecture, backend, UIs, cli tools, infra & deployment on premise or cloud). I can adapt well in various project settings (one man show, teams, microservice based apps, monoliths).

Another one of my favorites of his: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/programming/CTriump... (the C Juggernaut) I like it in part because I lived through some of that time period (getting code running on early Macs)

I can relate to people who just like programming in C. :-)
You could be right. I was relying on some the other less formal language like:

> companies engaged in research and development (R&D) activities should be implementing this significant change

I think it might require backing up into tax code Sec 174 "Amortization of research and experimental expenditures"[0] itself though. There it says:

> (3)Software development - For purposes of this section, any amount paid or incurred in connection with the development of any software shall be treated as a research or experimental expenditure.

Keying in on "For purposes of this section" I think we'd need to figure out is software development expense always required to be treated under this section, or is this just talking about software development expenses that are made in connection with R&D expenses which are under this section. It's hard to imagine all and any software development expenses are R&D. E.g. if you're running a software service company and have 10 engineers building something for a client, maybe it's R&D for the client but it's in not at all R&D for the service provider....right? I am not a lawyer or tax accountant so I may be way off base here.

Yes I'm well aware of the consumer whore, but you don't understand, none of this is about money, it's about proper configuration.

Vsync: Unbearable amount of input lag, feels like you're moving your mouse in molasses. It can be disabled for free by setting an option. (the amount of lag decreases as refresh rate increases. 60Hz vsync was the worst thing ever. 120Hz is somewhat acceptable).

Me and my friends actually enable vsync from time to time to train ourselves to rely on aim less.

125Hz mouse: Visibly jittery. Just set it to 1000Hz, works on most mice even from 1999.

60HZ CRT: Kills your eyes due to flashing. Get 75Hz

75Hz CRT: Might have bad focus. Get one with good focus

60HZ LCD: Kills your eyes due to motion blur. Suggest 120Hz at bare minimum (yup, motion blur decreases as refresh rate increases). Some models lag as bad as vsync, just get a model that doesn't lag. This has nothing to do with cost, it's a common firmware bug that some models have some don't.

120HZ/240Hz LCD: Might be some garbage with so much overshoot that it's just as bad as the slow pixel response it tried to prevent. Get one without that issue
Yes.

Why? Is this a trick question?
That's the perspective I take as well: LLM's are giving humanity (imperfect) insight into it's collective consciousness (how they describe their experience and perception of reality (aka: "reality", "the reality", etc) in text), almost like holding up a giant mirror to ourselves.

I'm thinking before too long this idea is going to leak out into the collective consciousness, and that may make things in this already utterly bizarro world even more interesting than they already are. It's gonna be a wild decade!
You need a media break, identity politics is consuming you.
> Pretending there's a sinister, organized New World Order (aka "them") with decades-long plans to restrict freedom is fantasy, and doesn't help us target the actual problem.

Thankfully, we don't have to pretend! A cadre of wealthy Americans have a documented history of conspiring against the people of this country.

That's the thing though, I never hear that statement from conservatives or non-liberals - they never seem to utter it, even in a sarcastic or mocking tone.

I only ever hear it from what seem to be sincere liberals/progressives, and often in the context of dismissing claims of liberal bias. In fact, that seems to be exactly how it was used in this very comment chain.
It isn't clear to me why it's unreasonable to have different pricing for rental vs. owning. In any case, the general trend seems to be towards not owning digital media in general.
I don't know, to me this is just going to make real human, authentic content that much more valuable.

I am planning to increase my catalogue to 1Mn. books as I get more users on the website.

Running a language model is challenging as it took ~22 hours for training on 30k books and I expect it to take at least a week on M1 GPU.

On Size, I expect 10Mn books to be taking ~16GB storage in my database.

Thanks for your comments and good luck to your data pipeline.
Curation is the answer. The more junk, the better off are the one curation for quality, relevancy and human interest.

What do you mean insurance agent? The process of picking health insurance in the US doesn't utilize agents.

> And also because after a plan is selected, copays and deductibles are essentially fixed so consumer would have no need to price shop.

This assumes that the service you're picking costs more than the deductible. If the service you're shopping for costs less than your deductible, you're paying for all of it up front...
> How could it rank higher tho? SO has a huge domain ranking. How an arbitrary website can compete with that?

It's unclear, but they do. My guess would be that they're willing to do shadier SEO than SO will, and any that get caught just stand up more domains.
How many pro CSGO players use surround?
There are people who would like the government to outlaw racism/hate speech on social media. The first amendment prevents that. I think r3trohack3r's point is that eroding those 1st amendment rights to outlaw hate speech would be worse than the actual hate speech.
That’s the next logical step in the same argument.
I agree with you. I'm just saying that is how it is used by tyrannical people. It's a misdirection and a way for them to justify themselves. They can deny responsibility when things go bad because they were "trusting the expert AI model" and when things go well, they praise themselves for being wise enough to listen to the "expert AI model".
They were only making 12k per month in the last few years. For a long time, it was closer to 2-4k a month.
Not sure we have enough info to say for sure.

Burning out a valued employee that can probably do work 10x better and faster than a brand new employee is not extracting value.

Adding de Tocqueville, from 1831:

> The characteristics of the American journalist consist in an open and coarse appeal to the passions of the populace; and he habitually abandons the principles of political science to assail the characters of individuals, to track them into private life, and disclose all their weaknesses and errors.
Sure, but why do we have to conflate "disagreement" with "undesirability"? I'm old enough to remember a time when we could disagree about things without pretending our opponents are Hitler reincarnate. I often find myself wanting to spend more time with people I disagree with to understand their perspectives better or to help them see that we probably have more common ground than they may realize or even just to do my part to heal our culture by rejecting the notion that it's necessary, good, or morally acceptable to hate people we disagree with.
As a jailhouse lawyer at a Federal Prison the amount of parallel construction in America is shocking. If you know the level the average FBI agent works at, look up other cases they are involved in and the level of work they did on them and 'quality' of their testimony and 'understanding of tech' they demonstrate, and then see these cases where they made amazing leaps of logic and connections and suddenly became technology geniuses it's easy to identify.

But of course you need paid access to Lexus Nexus to look any of that up because while 'case law' is the law of the land and cases records are 'public' you have no way to, you know, access it or the information from all those 'public' cases they are involved in without paying big $$$. So the average person has no way to get exposed to how things really operate and instead go off some Constitutional and televisions crime drama 'ideals' that we all want reality to look like. It was really interesting spending hours going through those cases in the law library when I had 'free' (just trade a day of your life) access to it.
Information wants to be wrong.
Yes. The user claims he wrote one of the posts but admits that AI wrote some others. The tone and style look identical.

I'll tell you when I lost faith in The New Yorker. I was a subscriber for many years. I get that the people over at The New Yorker could not stand Donald Trump. But during the four years he was president (and even before, during the months of the campaign), it seemed like every other cover of their magazine was a grotesque and febrile caricature of the man. It made the magazine seem a bit unbalanced—and by that I don't mean "politically."

Humans will engage in wars and genocides against other people just because they are other groups of humans. It doesn't matter what sort of thought process or ideology is used to justify it.

But sure, look up things such as "the Armenian Question". Religious genocides existed before the Shoah. Heck, read some of the bible to see some more examples. Human sacrifice also has a long, long tradition in various religions. While the toll for any particular human sacrifice will be few in number, iterated over centuries it adds up.

The Valhalla platform was "launched" 2 months ago. Even today there's ZERO public technical documentation on it. You can only find a bunch of marketing slides, SEO-ridden blog posts etc. saying that it's great, plus a video showing a few queries against a regular GraphQL server.
