> But let's also be honest

I don't think that is being honest.

> aren't hiring "their chums" out of some unethical sense of helping their friends who don't deserve it, they're hiring people they know and who they have good reason to believe are going to help them succeed

No one says "I'm going to unethically help people who don't deserve it," so let's discard that part.

They're cheating at the normal hiring practice, not allowing other candidates in, because they think it gives them some sort of advantage. And that doesn't look entirely ethical.

It's only deemed "business unethical" if someone can prove discrimination in court, though. And that's honest.
Depends on your use case and financials. I use it extensively for work as a computer scientist + developer, and have expensed it in the past.

Couple that with some video streamers (looking at you, Netflix) always defaulting to a different audio track, while it is often in its original film’s language, the audio gets bastardized with commentary overlay and overlaps thereby ruining the original movie experience. Often cannot default to “original movie sound”.

Oh, did I mention that the closed captioning has started ignoring the hard-of-hearing and deaf folks? They only transcribe the foreign language into open-captions. I mean, WTF? We folks kinda want ALL languages captioned.

I agree. There are still some posts on Usenet archives that I wrote when I was 14, and there are no telltale signs that they were written by a 14 year old, except for not understanding certain programming conventions.

I wasn't particularly bright. I think we underestimate the capabilities of children.

I see no reason a 14 year old shouldn't be able to program and say, do multivariate calculus. If anything, they are more intellectually capable than someone going through the pains of late adolescence.

Crystallized intelligence at that age might be low, but fluid intelligence is at or near its peak.

Fwiw I used to work for large ML models for a well know big Ads company and we did indeed made sure to retain all the models on all historical logs within a time bound after users have requested for their data to be deleted. This predated GDPR.

It was expensive but we had to retrain models frequently anyway because of other reasons so this just added a more strict cadence and time bound checks but didn't really inflate costs dramatically
Strong agree with 1. There are so many more areas for self-study. Making those available as categories vastly expands the potential audience for this app.

The two threads are talking past each other, not really debating the same thing. This thread is pretty much ignoring the potential unreasonableness of storing 5 million files on a free/cheap cloud service without other backups, which is key point over there. The other thread is mostly ignoring the fact that Google seems to have imposed this limit arbitrarily and without notice, possibly causing data loss, which is the key point here.

Shows the power of framing -- focusing on different components of the same situation and facts can often lead to entirely opposite opinions or conclusions.
>And just like in Middle East the reason for unrest are to be find in Washington and London.

I'd agree with "one of the reasons", but there are also base reasons for unrest there that are unrelated to anything outside the Middle East.
It depends on your threat model. If you're worried about Bezos, Amazon, or a government, Alexa is absolutely a privacy risk. If you're worried about wide attacks or a script kiddy coming after you, Alexa is probably not the main vector of attack here.
AFAIK training on API is opt-in, training on the consumer interface is opt out. And one must also say that there are enough levers in the GDPR to argue a legal basis for processing PII, not the least of which is the catch all "legitimate interest". But you need to implement appropriate controls, otherwise data privacy regulators will complain.

2) Is it sync or async?

If sync:

4) When you are done, does the person who just provided an update select the next person who gives their update?

5) Is there some predetermined order?

6) Is there a designated leader who selects who goes next?

Note that deriving keys in a passive fashion only works with WPA2. With WPA3 SAE you must do an active Man in the Middle attack, which means also that you need to possess the key at the time of the handshake. With WPA2 you can decrypt any historic traffic you have recorded.
Sorry to piggyback. As a software person/ex-founder in an Asian timezone, I'd love to connect with other experienced devs who are self-learning and interested in exploring CS, ML/AI (e.g. Fast.ai), software engineering, webdev, and random related topics with learning partners. Bouncing newly learned concepts off each other would be great for solidifying them, and a chatgroup is both free-form and has a lot of immediacy (not to take away from what Collin has achieved).

There are existing groups, but what's important is getting to know people who're at a similar stage in their learning, and are open to really learning together.

> I’m on a Mac and find that google drive’s Mac client is so unreliable as to be useless

True.

I used Dropbox for many years without issue and moved because of the cost and the issue a few years back with not allowing it on certain Linux file systems.

Went to Google Drive and performance was shocking in comparison. At the time (don't know about now) it also felt like they had a deliberate policy to avoid showing cumulative file/folder sizes, meaning it was easier to pay for more storage than to find out what took the space and clean it up.

Since then I've spent a few years using PCloud, which was almost as fast as DropBox and more reliable at syncing than Google. Then I lost the ability to connect the client on a Mac for a couple of days, had a deeper look, and noticed a few files had had silent collisions between changes on Mac and Windows (not at the same time) leaving multiple versions (names suffixed with the machine they came from).

So I left there and went to OneDrive. To be honest I've found it okay other than one issue on a Mac where if I delete a file for some reason then when it vanishes to the recycle bin it reappears in the OneDrive root on the laptop. delete-immediately gets around that.

I'm now at the point where I use OneDrive for convenience/reliability but despite the cost have been considering a return to DropBox as cloud syncing seems to be impossible for anyone else to do properly. Is it still as reliable as it used to be?

Identity theft is the first thing that comes to mind
Interesting!

I take issue with the common claim that 'curry' isn't a thing in a 'real' Indian restaurant. I did a quick survey online and could not find a single solitary Indian restaurant menu without curry on it. From the fanciest to the common takeout joint. There are even chains like 'Curry House'.

Let's tone down the virtue signaling in food reviews. It's silly. There are 150 languages in India; there are as many cuisines. To claim knowledge about the 'real Indian' food or culture is transparent nonsense.

On another slant, it's a rampant issue in YouTube videos where anybody with an Italian accent claim only they know how to make real Italian food. Learn a little history, folks.

Not sure how the author looks like a crank here. If treating people with patience and encouraging discourse in the face of a barrage of sabotage and false accusations is anti-woke, well, you might as well call sanity “insane”.

As for FAIR, I’m not sure what evidence you have that it’s conservative. The board members consists of liberals like Jonathan Haidt, John McWhorter, and Steven Pinker. I don’t see anything wrong with operating from a premise that doesn’t rely on CRT either, since it’s really pure rhetoric and scant on evidence, and clearly the cause of the illiberalism and nasty behaviour that the author is calling out in her essay. Consequently, I doubt you’re presenting their “prominent side hustle” in good faith as well.

Your summary is so disingenuous, it’s a great pity that it’s the top most comment. You miss the crux of the essay, which is sounding the alarm that the people who you described as “unironically still using Tema Okun’s…”, are the ones running the show in academic institutions. For anyone reading this comment, I’d urge you to read the source directly, the quality of HN comments for such topic isn’t that great.

I know the Raspberry Pi has that huge community behind, but alternatives like this one can spark the interest of kids who need incentives to grow, and this one offers well above the minimum necessary without serving them the whole dinner ready to eat. When I cut my teeth with M68k asm in the early 90s all I had was a terrible book poorly translated in Italian whose code examples were written half in German and half in English, a local BBS and no Internet; they can do a lot more with today's tools without any need of a huge community.

While it’s true you should in theory expose to the right, it’s realistically a little riskier unless your environment is well controlled or you’re willing to potentially clip some highlights. So for landscapes that you spend a while composing and metering, it makes sense, but for street photography or something where there’s a ton of contrast, I wouldn’t recommend it because you’ll overexpose more often than not and unlike with film, it’s harder (and maybe impossible) to recover detail from highlights.

Since storage is cheap, I’d rather just bracket my shots that need it than expose to the right, reducing the potential of losing a good shot by losing some highlight detail.

I have talked to creators before about their projects ending up here. When you are doing a project or have an interest in something you haven't thought of everything. But you have probably thought of most things that spontaneously comes to mind. It isn't even just shitting on things that is the problem. Effectively shitting on something takes some interest, making claims or potentially having a point. It is the random bullshit that gets to you. The ignorance and the arrogance and even more so in combination because there is little you can do about it. It is many times as burdensome to read inaccurate things when you know better and even more so trying to correct them. So it quickly becomes Wargames. If you don't engage the bullshit spreads, if you do engage you waste all your time and it probably don't get much better anyway. So the only way to win is not to play at all.

I went back and read some of the discussion in the other thread. I didn't read everything because of time. What strikes me isn't the bad faith or poor form trying to expose someone or arguing a tangent on an interesting subject. It is how embarrassing it is. And how embarrassing it that they don't know how embarrassing it is. If I managed to even slightly get my point across you will understand why I can't explain why it is embarrassing. What I can say is that it isn't about just about being wrong or being rude. It about not knowing what they are talking about while being convinced that they have a point.

And no I don't think it is ironic. If you consider Hacker News a net negative blocking your blog from being published here is consistent with that view. More would if "all publicity is good publicity" wasn't such a strong idea in money making ventures.
iOS is too “intuitive” to properly document and share documentation for all the features they provide. It’s got a wide variety of power user features that come and go, and this word of mouth thing is basically how you find out about them. Try and search for them and you’ll get documentation from 10 years ago that no longer applies, if you’re lucky.
> So Sam Altman first creates the situation that we can no longer distinguish humans from bots…

Any time human communication is mediated by technology there’s the chance that the communication is not really what it seems to be. Are we watching live events on TV or a recording of live events or a reenactment of actual events or complete fiction?

In some sense, on the internet everything is already a bot, it’s just that right now the majority of the bots are directed by humans in real time. I fully expect the majority of bots will be semi or fully autonomous in the coming years. (Maybe we’ll stop staring at screens all day.)
The atomic bomb was “shock and awe” - the implication was that the US would just continue to delete cities one by one easily until Japan surrendered. The destruction was comparable or even less than other firebombing raids but done with one plane.
> They only transcribe the foreign language into open-captions. I mean, WTF? We folks kinda want ALL languages captioned.

Do you mean that when there’s foreign langage being spoken the CC track just sits unused and only the on-screen translation for hearing audiences remain?

I assume that plays havoc on accessibility equipment? And from what I remember open captions are often styled to not clash with the picture, so they’re sometimes had to read too.
The nuclear bomb was shocking, and distracted from the horror of conventional bombing. Dumping white phosphorus and napalm on cities is no less barbaric than nuclear explosions.

Do you live everyday actively concerned about your home burning down and all your belongings bursting into flames with it? Or do you take reasonable steps to prevent it/have critical stuff saved in case of emergency and go about your daily life not thinking about it very often?

I’m not being dismissive of your fears here. It’s not like what people are talking about is impossible. But there isn’t much you or I can do about it at the top and generally the economy doesn’t crash a la 2007 every time a big shake up happens. So if you’re really concerned about it, do the best you can to insulate yourself from it and inform yourself about the possibilities to a reasonable degree. But we can’t sit here and agonize over every potential doom and gloom situation that could happen on any given day, especially when tons of times what people talk about on HN, the news, wherever, never come to pass or are not nearly as bad as predicted. It’s just no way to live.
