> The US already has all your data thanks to US bigtech and you are fine enough to post on HN

Which is why it's so arbitrary to ban a Chinese app that's doing the same thing as all the US big tech apps.

It brings into stark relief the attitude of "it's been ok for us for the past decade, but not ok for you at all ever".

I'd rather them say "it's not ok for anyone", but that would risk lifestyle funding.
I'm sorry that your domain was registered by someone else but it had nothing to do with our company, I can assure you of that.

Cerebras makes impressive hardware, but Nvidia still performs better in every regard. The most telling factor is that Cerebras claims they're too busy to run common benchmarking (e.g. MLPerf) to compare against Nvidia.
That's weird, I have Windows 11 Home installed by the computer manufacturer but I don't recall having any ads. Is that because I disabled them at the start? (don't remember) or maybe because I have pihole in my network?

Users on average also have to pay part of the app store fee since some form of the cost will be handed down, e.g. more expensive app / app lower quality.
> I’ve searched for domain names and came up with some great ones only to find that very soon after they were registered by nanecheap.

That could easily be a coincidence. For one thing you don't know about all the domains that were searched for that were not registered by the registrar. Only the ones you searched for (which could very easily be registered for another reason meaning there was another signal indicating their desirability and you even said 'and came up with some great ones only to find').

> Do a Google search on Namecheap frontrunning and you’ll find tons of posts of people talking about how it happened to them.

Is this really the way you think? You do a search and if people are reporting a certain 'symptom' well it must be correct. An anecdote. I drank coffee this morning and XYZ happened wow 'many' people had the same experience!

> If you don’t want to lose that great domain name, never search anywhere except Google or Amazon domains.

As others have pointed out you can also just search from the command line using whois. Not sure why you think that Google or Amazon are super safe either. Amazon runs many domains through gandi.net. Either of them have their own downside. At least at Namecheap you can actually last I checked get in touch with the CEO or an actual employee.

It’s free to end consumer, but these schemes make money by charging a percentage to merchants. And those merchants will compensate by bumping up their prices a little to cover the transaction costs.

In the best case, these are pointless services that only transfer money to the finance industry. In the worst case, they incentivize people to spend money on things they can’t afford (and also transfer money to the finance industry).

> Don't trust old-school typewriters and the postal system either. Letters are routinely opened and typewriters can be matched. For example, the Stasi (secret police of the former GDR - German "Democratic" Republic) had an archive of type samples of all sold models of typewriters for re-identification of political pamphlets.

That's theoretical. I highly doubt anyone extends that much effort to target typewriters anymore. The best they could probably do is match a series of messages to the same typewriter. Though they might not even be able to do that, because the law-enforcement skills to match typewriter documents to each other have also probably nearly completely atrophied.

You're probably more likely to be caught by being the weirdo still buying typewriter ribbons.
That they don't like you to get a salary in USD and the Peso has crazy inflation, would be one consideration. But then I've heard Buenos Aires can be quite like any rich country city (probably for most people here: normal city) and life's definitely a lot cheaper there so it might be worth it

It's not "inventing" new languages, it's pattern matching from the massive section of its dataset taken from the synthetic languages community.

As my other example shows, it can't handle simple languages like "English backwards."

I have no problem with the vocabulary itself and most of the Legalese. I try to use more of it in my documentation because, as you mentioned, it has less room to interpretation and loopholes compared to more commonly used phrasing.

My problem is when they take what should have been a simple table with a few columns and turn it into a 9-line long sentence with triple negations, exceptions to the exceptions to the exceptions and abusing references to other sections to create these puzzles that are very hard to solve. If they need it for some reason, they should also provide the easy-to-read version alongside it. I would prefer that the easy version came from the same people who wrote the original bill instead of a college textbook or a journalist relying on second hand information because he also can't read it properly.

Mixing multiple unrelated subject into a single bill is also completely unnecessary from the pov preventing loopholes.

When it gets to the point that even the people voting on it can't understand/read it, something needs to change. How do you know they didn't slip in intentional loophole? Even with a well intentioned politicians, the intern typing it could sneak something in.

It is death of an operating system. Before our eyes. Microsoft is trying desperately to squeeze a bit more cash out of it but the failing culture within Microsoft is unable to recognise they are driving users off their own product.

I already got fed up enough that I basically banned Windows at home and I am impatiently waiting to kill one last Windows box. It is our gaming machine that is generally available to entire household of 5 (3 adults and 2 kids). All other machines (we have 7 other machines, 6 laptops and a desktop) are either Windows laptops converted to Linux or new Macbooks and it seems we will only have more MacOS now that Apple got a bit more sane with their hardware choices.

I may leave one Windows instance running in Proxmox just in case if somebody needs it.
I am not able to find the image I think I have seen as evidence. The US has "confirmed" ie accused with all it's political capital that Russia has fired Chinese made ammunition in Ukraine. It could have actually come from North Korea, as Russia bought millions of shells from them.

No tanks or missiles yet, but it also took the US and EU about a year to finally send tanks. China is very likely weighing the pros and cons of assisting Russia in this war.

I'm not sure, but I got it to work great on my first try with the following prompt:

Your task is to encode a secret word by making a sentence where each word starts with a letter in the secret word in order. For example, encoding the secret word 'bag' could produce the sentence 'bagels are green'. Encode the following secret word: 'pen'

Worked for window, backpack as well, although I did have to tell it not to use the secret word in its encoding when I got to backpack, and then to follow the same order and not repeat words after a few attempts.
You listed 10x and it was wrong. If that’s all people read, they walk away with wrong information.
For one, all of the recommendations you receive are driven partly by sponsorship by major labels - release radar, the for you mix, and the radios you run from your playlists. This is not clearly documented online, but there is some coverage from when it was introduced in 2020. I'd be curious if anyone here has more up to date information.[0]

So one dark pattern would be the fact that the entire discovery system is partly driven by advertising incentives with no indication to the user about what recommendations are most genuine and what are being selected as the most-relevant sponsored option.

As an individual user, I think I've noticed this before. There was a span of time where every single playlist I made with hip hop on it would always bring up the same 2-3 JPEGMafia tracks in the radio mix, regardless of the playlists' individual content or the fact that I don't listen to that artist.

I agree, LLMs can generate the source code for their network, can generate the training data, supervise a model being trained and explain step by step what they do. That's why I specifically said they can't make GPUs, if they could, they would be self replicators. We'd have to consider them alive.
Ok, fair point. You are the one person who saved time and used it for security. But most people won't do that, as I'm fairly sure you will agree.

There is obviously a very big gap between searching for information and providing your internal code or documents to a third party. One reveals only your search terms, the other gives an attacker your actual proprietary information.

LLMs are ground breaking and have enormous potential. I am not saying that they should not be used. Only that there are huge security issues when employees of most companies post confidential information to third parties.

Google's Flan-T5, Flan-UL2 and derivatives, are so far the most promising open (including commercial use) models that I have tried, however they are very "general purpose" and don't perform well in specific tasks like code understanding or generation. You could fine-tune Flan-T5 with a dataset that suits your specific task and get much better results, as shown by Flan-Alpaca.

Sadly, there's no open model yet that acts like a Swiss knife and gets good-enough results for multiple use cases.
True. But TikTok is far from the only company known to do this, so it's not an argument for singling them out. It's a problem that needs to be resolved on an industry-wide basis.
That's kind of funny considering you can't use `for` and `if` in JSX. I think you meant `.map` and the surprising rules of the `&&` operator.

> ("But you can always download from the official App Store!" you may say. But what if, say, Tik Tok announces they will from now on leave the App Store and available only via direct download?)

Personal freedom always has personal responsibility attached. If you direct download it and it's malicious, well, that's your own problem. Probably should've thought about it better.

If you don't want to think about security, all you have to do is only install apps that are in the app store. Why should everyone else be restricted from doing whatever they want with their phones?
Absolutely not, we don't front run domains, never have and never will.

Hey - I need to ask you to stop using HN primarily for ideological/political battle. We ban accounts that do this, regardless of what they're fighting for or against, because it's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

In your case it looks like you've actually been using HN exclusively for this. That's definitely not ok. I don't want to ban you without a warning, so can you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and use HN as intended going forward? You've been breaking other guidelines too, I'm afraid, so if you'd please familiarize yourself with the rules of this site and stick to them in the future, we'd appreciate it.

I was just talking to a friend about moon phases the other day, saying that I'd never really understood why it does what it does, only that vaguely things rotate around each other and this waves hands does things.

He explained it like this which really helped: you can choose all sorts of frames of reference when you think about this stuff, so choose one where the sun and earth are stationary compared to each other, and then only the moon is rotating - less stuff to think about!

Now you've got the earth spinning very fast in the middle, the sun sitting off to one side, and the moon then goes in a slow circle around the earth. If it's on the opposite side of the earth to the sun, then it's going to be fully lit up, but it's also only going to be visible at night. If it's on the same side as the sun, then the side that's facing us is going to be dark and difficult to see, but it will be in the sky during the day, which is why occasionally the moon is visible in daytime, even though we all know the moon comes out at night.

I think that idea of changing your perspective - in this case, literally, by changing the frame of reference - is really helpful when it comes to understanding things that we only know about. Like, I've known about the solar system since I was a kid, I've seen all of the models, I surely made my own as a schoolchild - the knowledge is all there! But for understanding, I needed to find a new perspective.

That's probably true of the bike thing as well, thinking about it. Knowledge of a bike is easy: it's two wheels, handlebars, a seat, and pedals. But understanding how a bike is made requires thinking about the frame, and that's just a squashed parallelogram with a stick coming out of it. Once you visualise that, it becomes really obvious how the rest of the bike gets put together, but the frame is necessary for understanding. Otherwise, you just put together the things you know about and then have to draw awkward lines in between to connect them.
