I'll read the article and reconsider. I haven't had time to even look at it yet. The moderation call here isn't based on agreeing, disagreeing, liking, or disliking. It just seems like an obvious interesting event, that's all.

Edit: Ok, I've read the first half and looked over the second half, and I think the moderation call was the correct one. Not saying this to pile on; I just wanted to report back.
Where can I learn more about what you've said, if you have sources to hand, please? I'm a big fan of bio-char (lol), so hearing that it's not-so good in temperate zones is disappointing to me, but interesting. Thanks :)
nicbou's link has details on the how, but here's a direct answer to the why:

The money is not a tax because it's not the government that collects it, and the government cannot decide how much it should be. Instead, there are institutions that have been granted powers to levy their own fees and self-govern to a large degree. Accountability is established through an oversight board that includes representatives from civic society and other independent review institutions.
Where did I say anything about "absolute personal freedom"

I clearly outlined that my freedom (in this case my privacy and body autonomy) should be respected unless there is a reasonable and articulable individualized justification to preform a search (i.e drug screen) on the basis I am a danger to others

Your position is we assume everyone is on drugs and they have to prove they are not

My position is we use logic and reason to look at a situation, and if the reasonable suspicion someone may be under the influence then we make the accusation and attempt to collect evidence to prove that.

My position is one of rationality and respects freedom as much as possible while still keeping people safe

your position is authoritarian with no rationality to it at all
I can't provide a citation or source either but I have seen such claims in a variety of places over the past 20 years. Certain design choices in C have caused the compiler to not be able to optimize as much as compilers for languages like FORTRAN or SISAL can. Of course, the ability to optimize SISAL was critical since it ran on the Cray supercomputers.

>Even though the printed text is surely the manufacturer's speech.

This is a terrible analogy, and evidence that the people who claim we can't protect all speech have no idea what "free speech" actually is.

Hint: no, it's not fraud.
> I don't want to do X but I'm being forced to, how do I avoid this?

> Just do X yourself

This isn't helpful in the slightest.
I love movies and agree it’s a great excuse to get out. But that doesn’t stop my sentiment.

I also love paper comic books, but they are basically dead as far as a popular art form in and of themselves.
You should look in to how many witnesses "mysteriously" "died."
> Because the pipeline was already off.

There is a substantial difference between the pipeline being off and the pipeline being off the table.
Absolutely. In part, my comment targets Google itself as much as the HN commentariat, since the corporate communications, as you note, suggest a distinct lack of confidence in what they already do, and a great deal of over-confidence in what LM's might bring.
Fascinating. It is a pity then that our culture is so terrible as to make teens have mental illness at rates that dwarf other nations (who have cultures that are far superior at keeping teens mentally healthy). It is a shame that we blame social media for this when clearly it is our culture that is the difference and the cause.
Now I picture a virtual waiting line of covert divers and motivated activists in front of the pipelines waiting for their turn to try it. And being pissed someone else was first! Maybe they have a class reunion of sorts ten years from now!
I'm sure there are countless examples of "breaking" stories that were appropriately shot down by the flagging system. What I don't understand is why that flagging system should be short circuited in this case. HN users often flag stories like this because political discussions almost always devolve into useless flame wars. Again, I don't see why a conversation about this story would be any different. And I'm especially surprised to see this take by @dang, who seems to be forgetting his years of forum moderating experience in this case.

HN is not in a position to determine the success of breaking news and this story fits the mold of things that are usually flagged. Let other credible media sources start picking up on the story if it turns out to amount to anything. Before then, let this one die just as the others like it do on HN.
You have 3 options:

1. Quit it all entirely.
2. Wean yourself down to a lower intake.
3. Do nothing and suffer the consequences.

For myself, I still consume a lot of content, but I decided to be more picky about what content I consumed. Furthermore, I decided to start doing something with the knowledge, the results of which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZqirAnnqaCZ8lT8w7p2P...
But, they often still pay far better than just about any other career you can do.

I'm a fairly unremarkable developer who works for a no-name tech company, but still make twice as much as my friends my age who are in law or accounting, even finance.

Only ones who even come close are in non-white collar jobs with unions and access to lots of overtime hours that they pick up. Their base pay isn't even close.
Some unions can neglect certain locals, especially if the local is small and distinct from the union's 'main area'.

For example, if a group of retail employees forms a new local for a large office worker union, the large union may not put much effort or many resources into achieving a 'good agreement' for the retail employees (because it's not worth the prospective increase in dues). Then, the 'good employees' will leave out of frustration, and only 'bad apples' remain, until the retailer shutters the store for under-performance.
Another example - where OpenSSH itself was not to blame, but rather PAM - was the old https://www.debian.org/security/2002/dsa-177

Where locked accounts were treated as password-less accounts, and would allow direct ssh access.

In Debian's defence, this was caught in the unstable distro and never made it out to a stable release.
> This gatekeeping is ridiculous

It is not gatekeeping to demand that extraordinary claims are backed up by evidence.

And there is an absence of evidence here.
Or it was an accident.

Im asserting as much evidence as Hersh.

I just asked you to stop breaking the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34712768. Doing exactly what we just asked you not to do is a fast track to getting banned.

I'm not going to ban you because you might not have seen that other comment, but please look at it now and please stop posting like this. Regardless of how wrong others are or you feel they are, you owe this community better if you're participating in it.

This is exploitable in the latest Archlinux 2023.02.01.
Also, this doesn't require enabling old key exchange algorithms.
A true decimal type is better than integer, if your language supports it.
No they don't, you are thinking of older implementations(the old checked iterators _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL etc in msvc). That shit was indeed very slow.

You can run release builds with _CONTAINER_DEBUG_LEVEL =1 and the performance impact is minor.
echo this. traditional search will take backseat, most people seek "answers" when they search, not sources which they can derive "answers" from. This will enable the power search for less tech savvy folks, while improving the feedback loop for experienced searchers. Feels like search has changed forever.

browsers are left with challenges, particularly legitimacy of results, and ensuring a viable ad model. No doubt we'll see those soon.
> I'm surprised the theatre couldn't just put on an older movie

I've been thinking about that too. I've really wanted to get the kids out of the house lately, but there was nothing new to watch in the cinema. I wouldn't mind taking them to see an old film.
> letting the models acquire knowledge from these copyrighted works

I'm gagging at the nonsensical anthropomorphizing being done to end-run the fact that what the LLMs are doing is copying.
The (over)complicated buisness of updating a K8s deployment
I expose Teleport instead of OpenSSH and it's not Rust but Golang.
Coming from a capitalist country, I say that money here do not depend directly on our work. The majority of people in my country works a lot and receives very little. The life for workers on farms, and meat-packing industries are particularly difficult and cruel. There are lots of people that becomes sick, or that became unable to work because of lesions. And guess that: they keep being poor and their employers are rich despite working much less. People in developed countries would understand better why Marx is still considered relevant and has worldwide appeal looking outside the comfort bubble that only a small part of countries in the world enjoy. Tech industries are not so terrible? Sure, they are not, and jobs in developed countries also are much better. But let's not forget that the goal in capitalism is increase profits, not well being of people. If and when it is necessary, the well being can be sacrificed. And even if you work in much better conditions, all the increase in productivity that you achieve will go to increase profits, not your wage. Sure, sometimes you can receive a little bonus and a good environment as a "thank you", that returns to you a small part of what you produced.
"You could probably write a similar one with Russia ..."

I disagree - there is no credible motive here for Russia and, in fact, the outcome was directly opposed to every outcome they are, or were trying, to achieve.

Not only do I, as a US citizen, believe that the US perpetrated this act but further: I believe it is an overtly hostile action against EU citizens and, particularly, Germans, who will suffer the most economically.

EU states are now buying US natural gas like we always wanted them to. How much pain and suffering were we willing to inflict to make that happen ?
I haven't found this to be true. When I became unhappy with the volume of my Internet use, I made a conscious effort to take on physical meatspace hobbies, and found no societal pushback. Really the only limiting factors are time and (often) money. But, if you pick an inexpensive hobby and deliberately set aside time for it, there's nothing stopping you from doing it. Nobody is forced to use the Internet.
> what data is being sent, if any

Obviously the Windows crapware isn't doing explicit DNS lookups for no reason, they're implicit because it's making requests.
> There is nothing balanced about the intensity and frequency of fires

I urge you to read about indigenous wildland fire management techniques. Also check out the 'forest fire' cellular automata model. You speak of niches as being exclusive, but ecosystems are composed of bubbling foams of overlapping, interacting niches, which merge, split, re-combine, etc. as the ecosystem progresses through modes of dynamic equilibrium. Any wildland will have fires; a mechanism for integrating those fires into the ecosystem's dynamics is inevitable, because nature operates as a ruthlessly exploitative force when a new element is introduced to an ecosystem. Thus, a niche is identified, and organisms fill it. TFA reports only on the inevitable conclusion of the natural course of things.

> just don’t see this as some kind of panacea

Why do you think the author is arguing that it is?
Last month, I submitted a patch to GNU Emacs with an implementation of line breaking inspired by Knuth-Plass and an option to enable it for paragraph filling. (I'm still iterating on the patch.)

My approach to runts was to apply the full penalty to the last line, but only if the number of words was below a threshold (by default, only if it's a single word).
The protein source also matters. BCAAs are important, and plant based sources are less bioavailable. That is, something like broccoli might have 4g protein/100g serving but only 50% is bioavailable.
Maybe it's better now with Go modules but the last couple of repos I wanted to contribute a few years back just didn't build. They both were relying on the master branch of some other projects that had breaking changes.
Maybe the output isn't, but what the LLM turns the work into when it becomes a constituent element of the model is probably a derivative work.
I would wager the terrible Nvidia drivers were a big factor. I personally won't buy another Nvidia card unless they make sweeping changes (like open sourcing it completely. Their open source announcement earlier is a good step but not far enough to win me back). I do wish the AMD pro driver were open source though.
What was true 75 years has long since stopped being true. Today no one can reasonably describe U.S. presence in Germany as an occupation. Please reconsider your sources of information. They are duping you and preventing you from understanding present day political reality.

You remind me of the leftists I met when I lived in Kreuzburg in Berlin.
Great comment, thanks. However:

> but a mainstream audience I suspect will be less forgiving.

Less forgiving, perhaps, but also, I suspect, less discerning.
Yet suicide numbers keep skyrocketing, so much much is that actually helping?
For context: there were about 2-3% russians of the total population before WWII. Russia imported hundreds of thousands of them, with the explicit goal of replacing us local estonians. Unfortunately we now have this.. large minority and a part of it yearns for the time when they, the russians were the master race in the empire, everything could be done in their language and all others were below them.
I recently used Privatezilla to disable automatic updates. Not sure if the same approach works on Windows 11, but you might find the relevant registry keys mentioned in the code helpful: https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla/blob/master/src/P...
if chatgpt cited its sources and gave you the links, wouldnt that change things? You can always dive deeper.
If you could you humor me: if he came out saying Russians blew up the pipeline, would you have the same stance?

These tensions have been brewing between NATO (mostly America) and Russia for at least a decade. It's unfortunate that the situation escalated in Ukraine though, which AFAIK is the victim in the scheming and plotting of those two powers.

I don't support the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but it seems like that's the only thing people are focusing on because it makes the situation simple for them, and it's easiest to have a single villain and the rest are the good guys.

I assume most people offended by this submission here are American (or at least heavily support America) and want to think of their current government/country as the good guys.

I don't think there's any good guys in this situation.
Uh, yes. I'm pretty damn certain that the Syrian rebels did not gas themselves. The OPCW just came out with a massive report on the matter this week. Which, unlike this dudes claim, was extremely well sourced.

I'm not even going to continue down this "argument from authority" path. Completely baffling conspiracy drivel
>To about the same degree as the output of a human.

No. Full stop. Humans aren't stochastic parrots. Pointing to a lack of understanding about what exactly happens in the human mind is, FULL STOP, not evidence that LLMs are doing the same things humans do.
There are plenty of credible motives for Russia to do this (some even listed in this thread), but they are all just as weakly supported as this theory.
This is just regurgitated PaulG quotes and a sales pitch.
Wouldn’t transparent TLS with self signed certificates solve this problem?
I’ll definitely try this in couple of weeks but I can’t be the only person to try this to uncover exact data that is being sent via Windows telemetrics.

Another alternative would be remote debugging the kernel and hooking into some of the undocumented API calls but that would take lots of effort.
So let me understand this clearly, all of this is based on an "unnamed source"? How does this have even an ounce of legitimacy and isn't just mere fiction?
Advanced search still lets you force minimum resolution, unlike say bing which just has large/medium/small. Helpful if looking for something very specific in 15MP
In theory. In practice even with a valid US passport in hand you won't pass KYC without proof of address. To get an address costs either money to get a place or lots of time spent with social workers, assuming they're even accessible, to get the legally valid evidence of a homeless shelter as your address.

Additionally, when I was living in poverty at least I often was living in legally precarious housing with no mail access and landlords that didn't want any "on-the-record" evidence and thus no proof of my address. KYC is a big expensive burden on the poor that blocks banking access.
Me too, and I was not expecting that. I've ended up spending hundreds on games through Valve's store that I wasn't expecting too, and I regret nothing.
Reddit mods are arguably the worst part of reddit. It's so refreshing to come to HN and see (community- and mod-powered) moderation done right
Right around when Obama was elected again and the Mayan calendar predicted.

But I am partial to his conclusion. For what it's worth, I am diagnosed with a half dozen mental illnesses, but if I'm being honest I just memorized the DSM-V criteria and appropriately played along and I have a bunch of prescriptions. I never use them, but it's nice to know I can get amphetamine and ketamine whenever I want.

America requires you to play sick to do certain things. So I can play sick. I wonder if the kids have found this loophole too. They're usually smarter than us adults and have less wisdom, so probably.

I assert that you are a Russian agent personally appointed by Vladimir Putin, paid $250,000 through a bank in the Cayman Islands, tasked with sowing discord in the US by posting fictitious stories on Hacker News.

Care to comment?
> But from what I can see, all of these don't _actually_ attribute the source. They're just able to find _a_ source that fits to the output, working backward from it

I feel like it should be possible to build attribution "simply" by finding good results via traditional search (or even using LLM embeddings), then asking a LLM to summarize the sources. Then you can show the attribution. This would (to me) be much more meaningful. Especially for specific searches ("I want a red oversized couch thats got good back support"). Don't tell me about couches then find a random link, find a couch then tell me about that couch.

Is anyone doing this? IDK, maybe there is a reason that it's not happening, but it seems at least as easy as all the other crazy (and cool) things happening in this space.
European countries' media systems are very different from the US and your conclusions are not really valid.

The ZDF, one of these PSBs, reaches an average of 5 million people daily on TV, which accounts to >10% of the German TV audience, and it has an online reach of >100 million monthly visits which also makes it one of the top news sources online. Their audience leans towards elderly segments, but it's still a huge chunk of the market, however you may define it.

> According to Hersh's story, Navy SEALs met no resistance at Abbottabad and were escorted by a Pakistani intelligence officer to bin Laden's bedroom, where they killed him. Bin Laden's body was "torn apart with rifle fire" and pieces of the corpse "tossed out over the Hindu Kush mountains" by Navy SEALs during the flight home (no reason is given for this action). There was no burial at sea because "there wouldn’t have been much left of bin Laden to put into the sea in any case."

> The first hints came in the latter years of the Bush administration, when Hersh reported repeatedly that the US was on the verging of striking Iran. These included reports stating that the US might even bomb Iran with a nuclear warhead, and later that the administration had considered using US special forces disguised as Iranians to launch a "false flag" attack as a premise for war.

> The moment when a lot of journalists started to question whether Hersh had veered from investigative reporting into something else came in January 2011. That month, he spoke at Georgetown University's branch campus in Qatar, where he gave a bizarre and rambling address alleging that top military and special forces leaders "are all members of, or at least supporters of, Knights of Malta ... many of them are members of Opus Dei." He suggested that they belong to a network first formed by former Vice President Dick Cheney that is steering US foreign policy toward an agenda of bringing Christianity to the Middle East.

> The next year, in 2012, Hersh reported in the New Yorker that the Bush administration had secretly armed and funded an Iranian terrorist group known as the MEK in 2005. Two sources, neither with direct knowledge, told Hersh that American special forces had flown the Iranians all the way to Nevada to train at a base there. This detail was both spectacular and puzzling: the US has bases throughout the world, including several in the Middle East; why bring terrorists to Nevada?
they focused way to much on the story and not on the important stuff.

there's a lot of WEs, who else had access to the device they used? what was the device being used for before? was it properly reset? what's the model and OS version?

my bet is inside job.
But provides access to regular stations, not shortwave stations, am I reading this right?

Also these apps always have the same issue for me: they collect links of streams that more often than not (in my experience) won’t load, or just play ads. Not sure how to go around that.
If you've published any writing advice, I'd be interested to take a look at it.
Citation needed :)
In addition to uninstalling the apps, I'd recommend changing your account passwords to random 64 character strings and then throwing those strings away. This prevented me from "cheating" by using the web.
Project Azorian was a crazy conspiracy theory, and also true. You discredit yourself by using "conspiracy theory" in the "obviously false" sense. Intelligence agencies really do conspire to do things. That's their job.
I would disagree that C is going to be a 100 year programming language. I think the recent focus on safety is going to not only turn businesses away from using C but that they will active push C out of their code bases in the quest for safety. C was fine back before networking was everywhere. Today, it's a disaster waiting to happen in every C program. Sure, there are C programmers who claim they can write safe C code, but the numerous hacks prove they can't. Why wouldn't a programmer prefer a language that handles most of the safety for you, and is designed to allow for better optimization to boot?
They'll study this forever, but they'll never add a comment section to their websites.

This is, AFAIK, not a task for fine tuning--which is more like trying to get a certain kind of style-but maybe a task for "semantic search". I watched this video a few days ago, and at least vaguely recommend it: https://youtu.be/9qq6HTr7Ocw
