> The only institution which _could_ conceivably quarter its soldiers

You have misunderstood my post.

I said this: "this is still bad even though it is not literally the government doing it"

This is not contradicted by you saying that it is illegal for corporations to do it.

Yes, it is illegal for a private company to do this. But my point is that "Its bad!". Which has nothing to do with if it is illegal or not.

> even if there were no 3rd amendment.

But my point, is that regardless if the 3rd amendment exists, it is bad for either the government, or a private company to do this.

> Hence, the 3rd amendment restricting the government's right to quarter soldiers and not mentioning any other institutions.

I didn't say that the 3rd amendment has to mention other organizations. Instead, I am saying that no matter what the 3rd amendment applies to, or does not apply to, it is still bad if a private company, which is not the government, to put soldiers in your home, without your permission.

Now, to get to the argument here, the reason why this is being pointed out, that it is bad if a private company does this, is that the same logic could be applied to other things in the constitution.

That it is still bad if a private company does it, and also people saying "Well its OK because a private company is doing it" are making a dumb argument.

> This applies to due process as well, as the only organization or institution capable of levying criminal punishment is the US government

Wrong. Due process is still important, even for private companies.

Because due process is a valuable principle that could apply to non criminal punishment.

Yes, people care about non-criminal punishment being fair as well.

Just like how private companies putting soldiers in your home, without your permission, would be bad, even if it were legal, and its not the government doing it.
It feels like this infrastructural risk is media driven to the extent of "pedophile kidnappers" or "razor blades in apples". For example I grew up in an Eastern MA "suburb" in the mid 90s - early 2000s, characterized by narrow winding roads, fast drivers, and no streetlights. Everyone too young or unconnected to have car access bicycled or walked everywhere; parents were a bit fearful but ultimately acquiescent ("better dead than dumb, and if you're not dumb you won't die"), and cops only cared about trespassing with intent to vandalize.

Over the intervening years, the town added nice wide sidewalks (previously none), fancy crosswalk infrastructure, lighting, and started enforcing speed limits extremely aggressively. Yet the number of people on foot and bike dwindled to almost nothing and now the only ones are older middle aged folk walking their dogs.
I’ve seen a lot of grants end with “we learned something”. Is that a dead end? IDK.

> I expect there are also patterns in other countries?

No, I believe this concept of mobile phone numbers being tied to localities is specific just to a few countries - USA, Canada and I think South Africa - due to how local calls were billed there; and for all other countries the mobile numbers were allocated from a single country-wide pool so their mobile phone numbers have no geographic structure other than the country code.
>So do you admit that if a private company forces you to have troops in your house, without your permission, this is still bad even though it is not literally the government doing it?

It's literally trespassing - there is a law against, it need not be a constitutional amendment. Your point actually runs completely against your argument.

>Now, question for you. Did you read the original comment and really not come to this obvious conclusion/explanation of the argument?

I'm going to be perfectly honest with you and tell you that you think you are discussing something that is interesting, but you aren't. You don't realize this because you are really confused.

>It's seems like super obvious that the person was making fun of people who claim that something is OK because a private corporation is doing it.

Yeah but they misunderstand what the constitution is and does. We have laws against all sorts of conduct and do not require constitutional amendments as exemplars of the laws- so what's the point? That private individuals should have trials over everything that can be in dispute? have you even thought that through at all?

>That funny example, makes the point pretty easy to understand.

No it doesn't, it only reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of how US law works and what the constitution is and does.

The constitution isn't a list of bad things, its a document that describes the gov't's powers and the limitations thereof. I think you are really confused. Trespass law has LONG preceded the constitution, so to whatever point you are making that "trespass is bad", that's like a pretty big NO DUH. The constitution doesn't take us any further in that understanding, I guess unless you are really and needed the third amendment as an example of a trespass? still really struggling to understand the fundamental brilliance of this argument...

Where I grew up, there was a guy that went door to door selling framed photos of your house or property, taken from the air. You could see it before buying and verify that you were getting something special.

It was pretty neat and unique, a great family history photo for later years.

And this particular balloon photo--I could really see this being a local sales opportunity of the same kind. It's a historic event. Pretty wild, really, in terms of history.

Plus, DoD photos are in the public domain.

Put in some quality effort to get a good result and sell framed photos of YOUR county/city/neighborhood with a spy balloon and a U-2S hanging out right above.

Yes, maybe it's just for people living in Missouri, but maybe somebody over there can find the value in it.

(Bonus: Don't worry about your fixer car or bike being out in the driveway on that particular day, you can't even see it)

I'm just guessing but I'd rather buy this--if I lived there--than lots of other things that are sold door to door.
I've almost given up just trying to keep up with the field... let alone competing. I'm not sure how people are doing it (keeping up) at this point given the pace of change.

Eggs sold in the US are illegal to sell in the EU. Eggs sold in the EU are illegal to sell in the US. The US mandates washing eggs; the EU forbids it. The rationale being to force egg farmers to raise their hens in more sanitary conditions where the eggs won't get covered in crap in the first place (since consumers are less likely to buy eggs covered in crap).
Mostly a U.S. problem, where it's also totally fine to put your child's life in danger by driving them everywhere.

I love that most of the engines use bangs now. Brave has done some questionable things too though, from my point of view.

what does the 3rd amendment have to do with anything if we're just agreeing it's bad for private companies to do it? Like, the 3rd amendment specifically exists to specify it's _also_ "bad" (and illegal) for the government to do something you wouldn't let anyone else do.

Can anyone comment on whether any of these new all-in-one distribution formats actually try to provide secure sandboxing that is designed to resist deliberate attacks from within, or is their sandboxing just docker-style best-effort sandboxing with a ton of holes that can't be relied upon for running untrusted executables securely?
Yea. I’m more interested in the manufacturing capacity of high quality masks, that seems like a low cost high payoff investment from a global health standpoint.

As a reminder, peer review is not designed adversarially. It is not supposed to catch people who are fraudulent before they publish---that's the point of replication (which happens rarily). Peer review is designed to ensure a the publication as a packaged work of science describes a valid experiment. But you're necessarily assuming that the authors did what they said they did. As a peer reviewer, you're ensuring that what the authors said they did constitutes valid science.

Some people are young and don't have that ability yet. Or are like me, I don't care that much about food, I'd rather do something more interesting than spend 1h cooking something. I just don't care that much about how food tastes if it costs me time or money.

This would be terrible. Gnome and KDE have pretty conflicting ideologies. Gnome is super opinionated and Mac-like minimalist. KDE is all about user choice.

If they'd collaborate it would end up something in the middle which would suit nobody.
Due process is a valuable principle yes -- but it is a gap in your argument to say that since the constitution specifies citizens' rights to it under the most exigent circumstance, namely, when facing criminal penalty by the government, that it follows it needs to be applied and provided with the same universality and standards (beyond a reasonable doubt) in non-criminal contexts.

I'm in the domain industry (created a tool called Newsy - https://www.newsy.co) and this is where the domainers take the opportunistic sales to established companies who can buy their .com domains they've been holding on for so long.

Email servers are notoriously difficult to configure, hence all these solutions ranging from tutorials to "everything included" systems. Recent activity on HN about mail servers: Mox, Poste.io from yesterday [1], Mailinabox, mailcow, ispmail, maddy, stalwart jmap, etc.

Many of these systems keep redoing the same work over and over which seems wasteful.

What I'd like is a "mail reverse proxy" that does all the work to manage DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, etc and handles sending and receiving emails, but doesn't do any storage or user management. Instead it forwards mail from/to the "real" mailserver sitting somewhere in a private network. (Maybe using LMTP [2]?)

This way you could roll the dice until you get a $5 VPS with a clean static IP and just park it there permanently, where it does nothing but sends and receives emails from your real mail server wherever you want to host it. Kinda like a PO box. You never have to worry about upgrading it to get more storage, or switching providers and losing your IP, if it gets hacked the worst it can do is spy on live email traffic and send spam until its patched.

Why doesn't this exist already?

A fairly typical and simple approach is to set an intentional, fixed delay, say 500ms, to absorb network latency / inconsistency. The sender sends a target playback timestamp ~500ms in the future with each block of audio. Then the actual delay at the playback side can expand or contract as necessary to take up network delay. The lower you make this delay, the more care you need to take on the network side to guarantee timely delivery.

NTP is accurate enough for this, but I think most of the modern protocols in the wild e.g. AES67, AirPlay2 are using PTP. It is both more accurate and in some ways simpler for this use case.

Ask HN: Are ML models like ChatGPT just compressing/decompressing information?
Disclaimer: I don't really understand how these magical AI models do their thing but, like almost everyone else I've been playing around with ChatGPT and I'm totally blown away by it.

It seems like every time I submit a question to chatGPT, I imagine some fancy math is being done behind the scenes and I am getting fed back some information from this massive model "file".

Is the model just a compressed representation of all the training data that the model was trained on and so sending back a response is just 'decompressing' the part of the model that is relevant to my question and sending me back the requested information? (I imagine it hallucinates the parts that vary from the data it was trained on to give a best-guess response to my query).

Wonder if there are any experts on here that could confirm/deny my intuitive guess here.

Sure, it works, but their point is that the savings would be near exponential. Eg, a battery with similar characteristics but double the density might allow you to reduce the size of the battery by something like 70% while keeping the same amount of range. So the amount of resources required is greatly reduced. Considering it's only a matter of years before ICEs are flat out banned in most countries, figuring out more efficient ways to use resources for vehicles is pretty important.

Well, its “deliberate obfuscation” by the DoJ, who did the investigation, and hasn’t released the details beyond what is in the indictment (the majority is dark money donations, so even figuring out in CC-1 and CC-2 are [which people have done with a fair degree of confidence] and tracing their publicly-disclosed donations [which they probably have done] won’t get you anywhere close to the answer.) And, I guess, a “journalistic failure” to compromise sensitive criminal investigation material.
If the volatility of a currency swings for too long, interest in using that currency decreases eventually to the point where no one will use it aside from those who have to (like the people in a specific country). We will likely see this with all cryptocurrencies at some point. This leads back to the definition of a currency, which needs to be stable for people to want to use it. At this point, bitcoin is not a currency people use to transact things. It's a store of value as a speculative investment that is mostly being traded by bots trying to profit on the volatility swings.
