Yeah, instead of blog posts Hersh should write spy thrillers in tje tradition of the early Tom Clancy works. I would even pay for those, I like the setting and the narrative Hersh oresented in this blog, and the writing, are compelling and good. For a fictional book, not for journalism.

This is a really great point. The laws that get put on the books have a habit of benefiting the few over the many even if the sales pitch was to help everyone.

Not a few hours later, 17 hours apart. No military is going to arrange for two pipes in the same general area to be destroyed 17 hours apart. 17 hours to find the second floating sonar device. 17 hours to get caught with your pants down.

I'm saying this as former US military here. the Idea that in the middle of a OPORD, of any kind, POTUS would come in last minute and change a detail, like an explosive on a timer (fairly simple,) to what is effectively some new technology no one has ever heard of, that allows for remote sonar detonations is Tom Clancy stuff.

In the United States Military, there's this thing called the Chain of Command.

This exercise was under the U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, which is under the United States European Command & United States Africa Command.

The "work" that being described here would have been under SOCOM (United States Special Operations Command), which is the only command that could do this kind of work, they are the only ones that even have the assets to do this kind of work and theres absolutely no mention of that in this piece.

It's complete conjecture and should absolutely be treated as such until theres hard evidence.

A neuron has dozens of neurotransmitters, while artificial neurons produce 1 output. I don't know much about neurology, but how is the information processing similar? What do you mean are running the same instructions?

I think there's a trivial semantic difference between the two terms. The assertion that someone made up a story is the logical conclusion to the assertion that there is no evidence to back up their claims.
Yeah, you have to put in the work, read all the descriptions, look at the images, see their bio, look at their location, and the tricky, yet most obvious thing, is if they have a "production partner", which you are supposed to specify if you don't make the thing yourself. Even if people fill it in, Etsy makes it purposely hard to find that info and anyone not using Etsy as a seller wouldn't even know it's a thing to look for.

If something looks too good or too produced in images, and the cost seems too good, it probably is to good to be true. You can Google image search their main picture and find where else it's being sold. If they have a lot of sales (like thousands), look much more closely as most artisans don't get that high unless they are pretty good.

Clothing is nearly impossible to find anything that isn't just a drop shipper. Anything from a country that you think would be sketchy is 90% of the time, which sucks for the amazing people there, but it's such an easy signal to see. Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe, almost always all scams, dropship or ripoff factories.

It's sad and frustrating just how much worse Etsy gets year after year. We've got 5 shops on there and see all the BS and how it hurts us. My wife can't even shop on the platform anymore because it's too hard to find actual handcrafted type stuff and we know what we are doing. If they'd let people report shops it would get cleaned up fast, but they'd lose so much money they'd rather kill themselves first, they are incredibly greed oriented.
Close. It was not the Swiss proper, but specifically the Papal Swiss Guard acting under the command of the Holy See. Since it is not a nation-state like Switzerland, this adds another additional layer of neutrality and deniability to satisfy all parties involved.

Building Technical Moats with LLMs
I will try to restate what I understood from VincentEvans' post.

Gazprom unilaterally cut off gas supplies at the direction of the Kremlin, "weaponizing energy supplies" to Europe.

At some point, if Gazprom wanted to come back to European market - they would be first greeted by billions of dollars of contract charges in arbitration courts.

(and I guess the number of billions is probably in the 10's or more)

Therefore, to avoid that fate, Gazprom or the Kremlin surreptitiously blew up Nordstream2 themselves, in order to be able, later, to claim in court that the could not have resumed gas deliveries if they wanted to. This would be an argument against the billions in contract charges. Basically, they incur the cost of blowing up (and later repairing, one presumes) their own pipeline in order to avoid the cost of the fines and legal sanctions for suspending gas delivery unilaterally.

Summarized as: the Kremlin miscalculated in suspending gas delivery, and by blowing up the pipeline is trying to preserve some future access to the European market, after current hostilities cease.

Vanguard and blackrock are the major share holders across the whole of big tech.

As I said, this is public info and people can check that whatever you can post on this forum.

And again, I am not on the unbelievable side here, you are: you have to proove this duo which are the major owners in all of big tech, do not have any say in the steering of the companies they _own_.

Edit: I did a quick re-check, 5 minutes of "googling" (lol), and 1 new site brought something new in 2023 the other sites did not put forward for alphabet (unlike for meta/facebook for instance, which I did not mention for this reason), founders are still in control (like metafacebook) because their shares are actually voting super-shares (first time I see that mention for alphabet).
So vanguard/blackrock, it's apple/intel/msft/amd/nvidia/etc (starbucks/pepsi...) and you can exclude metafacebook/amazon and very probably alphabet(google), waiting for the other sites to sync on this information though.

Funny, in the context of this news: it would mean alphabet(google) founders are going straight against one critical apple software component which is in control of their own major share holders. Wow, the smell of this is... so filthy...
This is super helpful! I have been struggling for a long time to get GPT-3 to work for question answering with prompt engineering. So far, RoBERTa is the best performing model I have found and it was only by adding more data... People in the generative AI world need to see this more clearly.

Anyway... hope I get to try your tool once it's live. My team spends too much time annotating stuff in excel.

I think sometimes we underestimate the power of social media in today's outrage and conspiracy driven culture, which is all but impossible to contain. I've said it what seems like a thousand times now - I believe there would be much more positive than negative as a result of shutting the internet off indefinitely.

Neither of the two sources you linked claim that Russia destroyed those pipelines.

Play out the game theory here. Russia has nothing to gain and lots of leverage to lose by destroying the pipelines. They can just keep the gas flows off FFS!

That doesn’t mean the US was involved but it makes zero sense for the Russians to do it to themselves.

Thanks for including Unzip nonetheless! Yeah, it's more of an intro :)
If that's the case, then it's especially weird to me why the usual conventions on highly charge political stories wouldn't apply.
I for one have no idea what you meant, and who you’re suggesting was sanctioning who in what manner for what purpose.
No, not in a sense that triggers truth in advertising laws.
With that said I'm not sure the cynics on HN are scoring much better (we've predicted the last 5000 of 10 major failures meme). The cynic in me said crypto was overhyped by con men and mostly useless, and I was right. At the same time I said the same about most social media and yet the masses flocked to it to give their personal information away.

Here are some related things I managed to find:

* Gov. Newsom banned remedial classes being taught at community colleges.

* Conversion Therapy has been banned and attempted to be banned by many states in particular in public schools.

* Bibles being banned by school districts.

This isn't a defense of Ron Desantis or any of those things. I'm not convinced Ron Desantis is the only governor that would ban books. If it's politically expedient to ban content, that's what happens in a democracy. I am not in favor of book bans but I very much doubt the defense of principles.
The same people complaining about book bans would absolutely ban books if objectionable political content were being pushed on children from the other direction. Or alternatively what is the principled defense of things like the Dept. of Ed. promoting the discredited 1619 Project?

Eh.

Just attended a few screenings at the Sundance Film Festival. All of them full of people happy to lay out money and effort to show up to a theater.

All of the films I saw were worth watching. Maybe one of them will be a box office hit ("Polite Society" smells like that particularly).

Probably none of them will be films everyone watches. Not every film needs to be.

That doesn’t have really anything to do with the guilds, though— in fact, it would likely be worse because then those high up in a production could just elevate and pay who they choose (it’s not their money, after all).

The guilds do still have objective criteria to get in, and pay scales so that regardless of if you’re a director’s child or not, you’re getting the same pay as everyone else with your title.

Yes, nepotism in Hollywood is a well-known issue, but it’s also an issue in pretty much every industry that’s been around for multiple generations. I imagine we will see the same thing happen in tech— just as it has in healthcare, politics, sports, law, finance, and all manner of highly desirable skilled professions
Interestingly, in the US, for all its "optimistic" procedures, a controller isn't allowed to issue a conditional ("behind X") line-up-and-wait.

But, if an arriving aircraft is still on the runway, a controller can clear a departing aircraft for takeoff if there will be adequate separation when the departing aircraft starts takeoff roll (i.e., the arriving aircraft will be clear of the runway at that point).

Sanitizers have little to no false positives. Occasionally they might flag benign errors, but errors nevertheless.

You can think of them as adding assertions for you.

Nothing I’ve argued about the quality of this submission — either publicly or privately — has been political. This is hearsay presented as fact. It is simply not intellectually honest source material.

It could be true! I’ve read lots of compelling narratives over the years. Many of them are wholly true, some have elements of the truth, some are fiction. But there’s no verifiably new information presented here; only a compelling narrative.

I really urge you to reconsider your stance but this is the last comment I’ll make on the topic.
They can vote to repeal it later, it isn’t a permanent thing. Unlike fucking up the planet, which is.
This is a joke. I don't know about the other broadcasters, but Canada's CBC is the propaganda organ of the liberal party and only allows an ultra-narrow ideological viewpoint. This will be the opposite of inclusive, it will just be a woke echo chamber.
That's a fair argument, and one I can fully support :)

IMHO peak BS is yet to come. Humans want to believe there is only one problem responsible for complex outcomes. Life seems simpler and understandable. Solutions consist of doing this or stopping that. The reality is much more complex and potential solutions always have consequences in addition to the ones desired. For me it always comes back to population. The population of the US (and planet) have more than doubled during my life time. Out psychological and social infrastructure that worked well for smaller groups of people has not scaled well.

I would totally agree. So many of them just seem to be on a power trip and moderate based on their mood. Its sad because its really killed reddit for a lot of people.
I agree that this is a serious issue. I know 3 kids who graduated in 2019 and got into top universities. Three years later

-- One flatly refused to leave home despite a lot of pushing from their parents. They are working at the local theater and taking community college courses here and there with no real future plans or goals

-- One also decided to go to CC, with her parent's support this time. She's 21, just got married, and has decided to be a vet tech with the anticipation of being a SAH wife and mother.[0]

-- One went to a top university and had a mental breakdown earlier this year - going back home and almost refusing to get out of bed or eat. Fortunately(?) this happened over a 4 week winter break, and with support from her parents and a prescription for anti-depressants she is back in school.

Not very inspiring outcomes. I personally think that the pressure from high school really ended up convincing them that they never wanted to work that hard again.

[0] I don't want to look down on women who wish to become SAHMs, but I think it's terribly short-sighted to make that decision at 21 and give up on pursuing a "real" career.

This is incorrect; all OSS licensing including the MIT licence is a hack which defeats and circumvents the current automatic copyright regime.

The issue in this case is that for any software which is released by anyone, for free, no matter the licence attached to it, the UK courts are contemplating doing do may create a fiduciary duty between the author and the user based on the user's actions entirely.

The fact that FLOSS types both view this as an absurdity that couldn't possibly affect them, and in some cases that since Bitcoin is unfashionable in certain circles it is somehow just punishment in the form of psychopaths with money trying to ruin the Bitcoin developers and their families, while talking openly of shooting them all in the backs of their heads, on video, while fondling an illegal weapon that the cops in the UK are doing absolutely nothing about—well, this kind of blind eye they're turning to the developments in this case are astounding to me since there's no logical/sensible way to disintangle the notion that a user's actions are what create the fiduciary duty, from literally every other project on the planet.

Sorry, but this is just pointlessly rude. I've linked to Wikileaks where OPCW was heavily scrubbing its content. Just because that disrupts your narrative doesn't make it "unbased conspiracy theory" and trying to ping a moderator doesn't change the facts here.

In fact, every single one of your comments on this thread have been nothing but hostile. I'm not sure why you seem to think you're in the clear and everyone else is the problem.

Probably related to[0].

To anybody complaining that this should be opt-in: opt-in telemetry doesn't work. The reason for this is that most people don't care, but they don't care either way. They don't disable it when prompted, nor would they enable it manually.

The idea of telemetry is being able to prioritize the work that will be most widely useful. For this you need a good and balanced sample of your users. You don't really get any kind of sensible sample if you only do it opt-in. Additionally, this ship has long sailed, everybody does opt-out.

What I do think however, is that it should very clearly notify the user of this, and give them an easy way to disable it. Like in OctoSQL[1] (disclaimer: which I'm the author of) which prompts you on first run and shows explicitly how to disable it.

All things considered, this is an open source project, so you're free to maintain a fork without telemetry. The Go toolchain also uses the Google-hosted module proxy by default, which really is a bit like telemetry already.

I knew it would have to be somewhere...

https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/paper/2023...

Blockchain technology, which underpins many cryptoassets (for example Bitcoin) also
represents a major innovation. This introduced digital assets supported and distributed
in a peer-to-peer fashion, backed by cryptography alone and stored on an immutable
distributed ledger.

Smart contracts automate business logic based on pre-determined terms and
conditions. The concept pre-dates the emergence of Blockchain and is not exclusive to
any specific technology, but their use has been popularised recently by permissionless
blockchain technologies such as Ethereum.

Developments in smart contracts have led a trend towards 24/7, ‘always on’, automated
markets and products, and a wider world of decentralised finance, or ‘DeFi’. DeFi
applications use a combination of these technologies, including blockchain and smart
contracts, to enable users to buy, swap...

Fortunately the accompanying technical note doesn't talk about it too much.
