I see this sort of comment a lot, and I honestly don't know what it's talking about. What are people expecting out of Google that it's not delivering?

It can only index stuff that's on the Web. Stuff on the Web is, contrary to what is popularly asserted, only a tiny fraction of all human knowledge.

I think people are forgetting how bad search was before Google. Google drove Web directories to extinction. Remember Yahoo!? Back in that era, if I were looking for something as simple as the University of Michigan, I clicked and drilled down through a Yahoo directory. The obvious search query would have been useless. Google changed all that.

I view Google as the yellow pages. It works well for that. Is it an oracle of knowledge? Of course not. How could I possibly expect to find knowledge on a place where there is no reward for making it available? People producing knowledge don't work for free.

I've tried ChatGPT and it's no better. It serves up stuff that is flat-out wrong.
Yep. Gell Mann Amnesia in full effect here. Everything you two have said are basic geopolitical knowledge blunders and it's clear Hersh has lost his intellectual bearing the last decade as he's now 85...

Hersh: "Today, the supreme commander of NATO is Jens Stoltenberg"

Reality: Jens Stoltenberg is the secretary general of NATO.

> There are and always have been mechanisms in place to address lying on Wikipedia

Wikipedia's mechanisms are fundamentally unable to cope with motivated, coordinated gangs that conspire together to push a distorted perspective, particularly on niche articles. Given Wikipedia's prominence, this is a problem that will only get worse.
I thought of OnLive, Shadow, and Geforce Now.

The only one of those I'd used was Geforce Now, and found it very similar to Stadia wrt latency. Stadia had a much nicer interface, though.
Can this be used for a P2P pair editing session?
Honest question. What kinds of things are people using torrents for in 2023?
Google, Maps, Youtube are of daily use they are monetized exclusively by advertising.

I don’t know how much. Money it makes, but there is paid API access to maps.
It doesn't.

I'm sorry, as an AI language model, I don't have the ability to access current news events in real-time, my training data only goes up until 2021, so I cannot provide information on specific events that took place after that date. However, I can tell you about any general events or topics that happened on New Year's Day in the past.
Or better to xpm. Just to be sure /s
Well, in that case, the same applies to CBDCs, but so far all criticisms of CBDCs assume that the government will use CBDCs as a means of oppression unrestrained by any laws.
I am looking forward to the disruption of SEO.
OK, I totally misread that. In that case, that was a while ago. I mean does Belgium turn a blind eye towards Russian massacres in Ukraine because of their history in Congo?

> a Osama Bin Laden death truther

The "mainstream" "establishment" position on the death of Osama Bin Laden is that Bin Laden was living in the middle of Abbottabad, which is the Pakistani equivalent of the town of West Point, and no high level Pakistani Army official knew he was there, and no high level Pakistani government official knew he was there.

It is a completely absurd story. The "truthers" are the people who believe that story. The White House gave a lot of information about bin Laden's death, as well as the Pentagon, and the government had to walk back some of their story shortly after. The New York Times reported the government statements as fact, although later another section of the paper printed some of the questions about the mainstream narrative. This caused an internal Times squabble, some of the "memoes" of which were subsequently leaked.

If you want a better account of what happened, read the Pakistani press.

The ISI worked with the US and bin Laden hand in glove in the 1980s. The idea no one high up on Pakistani intelligence, government or military knew he was there is absurd. Yet you call this "truther".

> a advocate of the Syrian rebel chemical weapon conspiracy

Chemical weapons were released in Douma. The rebels and government blamed each other. If the "conspiracy" as you call it that the rebels released it were true, it would tend to have been a mishandling of them - a mistake. Hersh reported on the attack, including information pointing to the rebels controlling it. I have no idea who had control of the weapons - it could have been the government as you imply. I don't have a problem with Hersh reporting on the information he had on that.
That is why there is the Gnome Tweak tool and Gnome extensions. You get a great out-of-the-box experience for regular users and good customizability for advanced users. If you want extreme customizability just don't use Gnome. IMO Gnome gets way too much unwarranted critique here.

It seems people miss the most occupies obvious part about this. F-droid is not limited to free software. So the whole chain out the argument is moot. They usually get a label.
It's not clear how, because it's not clear what e.g. "acceptable" means.
Well, the community decides. By flagging. Which was, in this case, ignored by fiat.

Moreover, the article has little to do with tech and has obviously loaded statements such as this:

> From its earliest days, Nord Stream 1 was seen by Washington and its anti-Russian NATO partners as a threat to western dominance.

If we can’t filter out misinformation and propaganda, we are screwed as a community. (Is this misinformation/propaganda? Maybe, maybe not, but better to have false positives in cases like this.)
Important, but from November 2022.
Well said. Do you follow Kitty Tait and the Orange Bakery? I just bought her book "Breadsong" as a gift. Her story about dealing with mental illness is incredibly inspiring. Check it out.
I've used DDG exclusively for about 10 years, it's good enough that I don't realise I'm missing out.
yes, it is not counterfeiting money when the agency legally authorized to create money does that.

Amazing summary, thank you!

Some additions:

Erdoğan also gained immensely from the economic measures taken after the 1999 earthquake and the following economic depression. He eventually rolled back a significant portion of them, and further wrecked the economy by lowering interests in the face of inflation, and multiple times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkyudz4w5Gc

> the earthquake tax collected wasn't used to be ready for the next quake. This was something widely known and criticized

It was openly admitted by a minister that it was spent on building roads. A lot of those roads have now giant cracks on them, because of the earthquake.

> ministers are giving ridiculous speeches about how everything is under control

One even said that the rescue operations are going slowly to make sure people under the rubble aren't crushed.

That doesn't bode well.
Gaming oriented phones exist for sure. One by Valve with SteamOS, yeah maybe.

It's hard to get around the awkwardness of the physical button problem though: having buttons makes the phone awkward, not having them makes gaming awkward.

All browser have telemetry in them, but he probably used netcat to post that message.

Amazing journalism again. This can be a huge problem for Germany, Europe and US.

They definitely should. But also they should NOT make misleading claims like "absolutely no prior user permission or intervention".

Look, it's not that $1T company needs my defense, but it's a rather safe bet that CYA exercise was done by them before unleashing this to the world.
A part of me think this is great, I love how film look.. Another part of me hates the idea, that something merely _looks_ like a thing, rather than _being_ the thing.. Can't explain why.. Especially since I can't watch film anywhere anyway, not even in cinema anymore..
I think this what the demo's with sources do. But they might still run into the same problem - the LLM summarization might be a bit wrong and so now it is saying one thing and the source has a slightly different opinion.
Using a timer to restrict online time is a possible approach.

The science fiction novel "The Ringworld Engineers" by Larry Niven (1980) features one Louis Wu, who at the beginning of the story has become a 'wirehead' (wireheading being "the act of directly triggering the brain's reward center by electrical stimulation of an inserted wire, for the purpose of 'short-circuiting' the brain's normal reward process and artificially inducing pleasure.") He manages it by use of a specially designed timer which requires several hours of painstaking work to reset.
I have to fully agree with you unfortunately :\
Nothing wrong with bars. They're also known for spirited debate, like-minded people, and foosball tables, even more so than tech campus courtyards.

But you have a point. I'm being snarky, unfair, and, worse, unhelpful. One can consume media and also create stuff. Hanging out here doesn't mean that you aren't also creating neat things, and indeed there are a whole bunch of posts here every day showing the insane and wonderful things people are out there creating.
I'm not sure suicides strictly are the result of mental illness. I, for example, have an uncle that killed himself. He may have been clinically depressed, but mainly, he was an alcoholic. I think it's likely what depression he had would have resolved if he successfully dealt with his substance abuse problem.

Did he die because he was mentally ill, or because drinking can be a pretty bad problem?
Yup, Hungary Navy Seals are most definitely behind this.
> What are people expecting out of Google that it's not delivering?

Not optimize for "most documents indexed" but "highest quality of results". One of them encourages adding spam to their index, the other encourages removing spam from their index.
Oh right your wink is about testosterone! I have had supplemental testosterone because of low levels. No big deal I reckon.

I thought the nudge was about anabolic steroids, since that is illegal most places.

4. Google Search already has lots of useful AI already in it, but Google didn't want to integrate a racist, confabulating chatbot, forgetting that modern users have no preference for truth over lies.

Why are you blaming Google for not being perfect while making the best free search engine, after you spent your whole life refusing to pay for a non-free one?
3.1 great

95 ok

98se great

ME... Can't even describe how awful it was

XP great

Then your selection :-)
Then buy another OS/laptop? It's not like there're no other options.
As somebody with a Steam Deck it's seriously impressive what Valve has managed to do with Proton. I didn't catch the memo about the Samsung 980 Pro failure in time and my Windows 10 drive just went readonly on me, and if it weren't for SteamVR not being supported on Linux I'd seriously be considering just...not reinstalling Windows again. Once the day comes that the last few gaming issues I have on Linux go away I will probably let the Windows install rot and daily drive Fedora or Arch again.
China is trying to control conversations as a means of controlling the population. That comes with its own problems that are unrelated to regulating speech.

>Would you be looking at criminalising lies and the spreading of them, even without knowing its a lie?

I don't know what you mean by this. We don't know whether a potentially defamatory statement is a lie or not until there is a trial. This would be no different. We don't need a Federal Truth Commission or anything. American society already seems satisfied letting a jury decide what is or is not a lie today.
People don't use Google to search the web. They use Google to find answers.
This is a fair argument to make. Normalizing web site metadata (which is essentially what SEO is) resulted in Google getting crowdsourced work done for them for free.

It has been a self-fulfilling positive feedback loop since then.
I think it's still possible to apply OTA updates but the process is not automatic. In my experience it doesn't successfully apply the update and unroot you, it just fails. This is a very unpopular thing to do, but I turned off OTA updates and I don't plan on upgrading form Android 11 anytime soon. Even security updates failed to apply automatically. Sometimes you have to reset the entire OS, including installed apps, in order to update. I think you need to reset during the rooting process as well, as oem and bootloader unlock forces a full data wipe. It makese sense from a security point of view, rooting shouldn't allow someone to gain access to information on an already encrypted device. I strongly dislike the way Android is becoming more locked down, I'd rather risk a wild security exploit compromising my device over not having root access to my own files. In my opinion, not having the ability to access your own files is the same as dealing with a virus. I wouldn't ever reccomend someone else do I am doing. But it's something to think about while considering rooting.

I use Viper4Android. I am thinking I might intentionally upgrade to an older flagship, when I do get a new phone, because there's no feature a new OS will get which will make me want to give up root and V4A.

AdAway is nice, since it is a set and forget app, I forgot I have it installed. Firefox+ublock, youtube vanced, and DNS or VPN level adblocking are usually good enough for me and don't require root.
In order to change the behavior, first you need to grow the context and understanding of why you want to do this, what are downsides, what tropes do you want to avoid.

I recommend reading Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport and Essentialism by Greg McKeown.

First understand the problem and all the aspects of it. Then action will foolow
in the past this was the only way, now there's an easier way, but easier is not necessarily better. But easier is the way most would choose.
Indeed, these lame comparisons are just as bad today as I remember them over 20 years ago when I was a young lad and Windows XP launched and everyone hated it thinking it would bomb (including me) because "why do I need this bloated OS with a colorful paintjob when Win98 does everything just fine?"

It's pretty hilarious to see history repeat itself at every new Windows launch. Rinse and repeat.

"Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong!"
That sounds good as long as you don't mind lossy compression (which shouldn't matter for text but might for images)
I've used them before, but they didn't make a cent off of me except maybe by getting surcharge from the seller. If you read the terms of the 0% loans and budget appropriately to pay off in the interest free period they are perfect when you want to avoid carrying a credit card balance or selling investments to make a large purchase.

However, I always recommend that people avoid these loans if they couldn't pay the loan off in less than a month anyways. Too many people get trapped by these. But the same could be said of credit cards and banking in general.
Having a child that hit teens then and hindsight being 20/20. Crazy parents and social media i feel can be the root of the majority of. Really location specific and not the deciding factor but it laid a solid foundation for mental health issues even today.

No citations or anything just my exp as a Dad.
I heard it in an All Hands meeting only recently, while talking about our DEI and hiring processes. It confused me for a second, but then I realized what word they were saying. But, to your point, it probably confused me because it's so rare to actually hear someone say it.
Right, and what is the average age in Glasgow? What is the average age of people working in the Apple store?

I live in Scotland near Glasgow, my family is from there, I have been there frequently over the span of decades. Parts of it are wealthy, but the vast majority is not. Almost everyone who can leave when they are young, does leave...that speaks for itself (I grew up in Scotland, I know maybe 40-50 people who grew up in Glasgow...I cannot recall one person who still lives there, it happens but not by choice). And if you look at any statistic, it is poor (and the heavily reliance on govt spending inc. jobs).

Scotland is not wealthy "in general" at all (again, before you reply: I have lived there for over two decades). Edinburgh is relatively wealthy, it is at the top of cities outside London. Aberdeen is wealthy because of oil. But the rest of the country is not.

And even then, these stats are misleading. Edinburgh has individuals who drag up the average (to a large extent, these people do not exist in Glasgow...there is no "upside" scenario) but if you look at the worst areas of Edinburgh, they are worse than anywhere in the UK. This kind of grinding poverty is unique to Scotland and hasn't changed. In fact, one of the lowest life expectancy neighbourhoods in Europe (iirc, it was under 60...and this was in 2005) was in Edinburgh. They redistricted the area (they actually knocked down almost all the housing in the worst area) so it dropped out of the stats, but those areas still exist.

It isn't like the North-East either. In the North-East you have high levels of deprivation but you see less harm than in Scotland. If you look at the worst places in the UK for life expectancy - https://www.statista.com/statistics/296698/local-areas-with-... - almost all of them are in Scotland. The only place that really compares in England is Blackpool and possibly Sunderland, both places are regarded as exceptional...and you see it in: Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, Glasgow, Dundee, etc. Blackpool is a tiny place, it is all over Scotland.

Btw, this is one of the common misconceptions from people online who have only ever been to Scotland on holiday. Cities like Edinburgh are more segregated than any other city in the UK. I know people who lived in Edinburgh for years (I went to university there), and you take them into the areas for locals (often down a side street near a tourist area) and they have never seen anything like it (the only place I have been that compares is public housing in Milan and rural Eastern Europe, I haven't seen anywhere in the UK like it).
They're saying the US did it, in coordination with their "other" sanctions, in agreement with the article and opposition to the commenter. I don't think this was a hard puzzle.
What is actually the fraction of human knowledge available on the web? How does the trajectory look like? What is the fraction for knowledge produced the last 5 years?
Okay... so what about academic research?
Thanks.

Would you'd mind expanding more on "An operator permission granting is a great fundamental layer to add here"

I am not sure I understood correctly (apologies in case).

If I am tenant admin, and I have been given by platform admin full permissions, but only in a namespace/cluster. Then if I install an operator in this namespace/cluster, at most this operator can only have same permissions I have, not more. If operator requires more, tenant admin has posting operator itself will fail (pure Kubernetes RBAC)
The problem is that this literally does not exist today. ChatGPT is a chatbot, it has no factual knowledge base. It's optimized for dialogue.

That's why it's absolutely nonsensical to see all these articles, because they are talking about a chatbot as if it's trivial to turn it into a search machine. That's an entirely different problem.
Any US journalistic outlet would KILL to be first to report on this.

The US loves its military, but American news sources have no want to keep a secret like this on behalf of the government. The US media loves to report on US war crimes, and other stupid government shit

It wouldn't surprise me to know that the US government had knowledge of this. It would surprise me if they were directly involved though.

If OpenAI is willing to release it and Microsoft invested 10B, I have a very hard time believing that censoring the model is impossible. Microsoft 100% did their due diligence on the model.

No but I'll check it out/add it to the list.
Google doesn't return a lot of stuff that is on the web, that is found by Yandex and Bing. It is unwilling to serve up long-tail results from its index, probably because they're so scared of accidentally serving up "misinformation" and they heavily penalize non-https sites.

And yet for some reason they're all too eager to serve up sites scraping stackoverflow.
For a regular home user, what does Win11 do that WinXP couldn't? Everything I can think of (drivers, screen res, multiple monitors) is incremental improvements to what we already had, I can't think of a feature they've introduced since XP than I want.

edit: This is probably too glib; certainly more recent Windowses are superior for application developers, which end users benefit from indirectly. It's the user-facing parts of the OS that seemed to have gone in the other direction.
Haven't set up Windows 11 on a personal machine yet, but for Windows 10 step one is download O&O Shutup 10 and let it set all of their recommended settings. After that all that's left is setting my wallpaper black and fiddling with some taskbar settings. I'd highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for a quick way to get sane defaults set on new Windows installs, including Windows 11.

This, I nearly laughed out loud when I saw it. They still don't get it. Google literally figured this out 20 years ago and beat yahoo.
No, I watched it, I'm a little surprised that one imprecise statement is compelling to you regarding a matter of scientific facts. I mean rather than taking it second hand from a lawyer that an unknown portion or a jury were 'scientists', you could actually take it from scientists and advisory and investigatory bodies comprised of scientists the cite specific sources.
Would you mind rephrasing? I'm confused by your comment.
