if "every penny counts", and the federal government gives them a single penny, then by definition they owe their continued existence to the federal government.

there is a difference between a company that makes electric automobiles, and a company that influences the thoughts and (crucially) feelings of the populace through opinion and reporting.

we all agree that all of these things are true for government-dependent media organizations outside of the West, but for some reason many refuse to believe that the same thing happens here domestically.
Thinking about this ticks me off every time it comes up.

For those unaware, phenylephrine should never have passed FDA trials. It was whisked through almost certainly at the behest of Johnson and Johnson to provide a replacement for the very effective psuedoephedrine, which happened to be a relatively easy methamphetamine precursor.

Then, for J&J to have the gall to market phenylephrine as "Sudafed" was just the cherry on top. I wasn't aware of all that at the time, but the first pill out of a box of new Sudafed was so ineffective compared to the previous pill from the old stuff that I had to look it up.

In 2023 I'm at the point where I'm convinced that people who deliberately host websites unencrypted are in on a much more interesting conspiracy than mere stubborn libertarian-ish "not my problem" whining.
I'm imagining some exec at Microsoft who went and saw Ready Player One in theatres, got to the scene where Nolan Sorrento says "We estimate that we can sell up to 80% of a user's visual field before inducing seizures" and going, "Sounds great, we'll get started!"
Currently most of the insulation I have installed in the attic is in the rafters of the ceiling. probably close to 18" of high density cellulose. The fire sprinkler system is dry. I could add another layer of insulation in the roof rafters or not. The building is from 1931 and I added the sprinkler and more insulation in the attic. My heating load is much greater than my cooling load. Most of the other points don't apply to my situation.
Does taking an antibiotic in response to an active infection reduce the likelihood of contributing to antibiotic resistance compared to a (presumptively lower dose) taken prophylactically?

The article says that prophylactic doxycycline lead to a 50-90% reduction in STIs, which seems like a reasonably good trade off, especially if a full course of antibiotics for an infection also contributes to antibiotic resistance.

I know the video quite well and I also have stuff on hetzner.

But it's just levels different to Google.

I have a small startup at hetzner.

But my main job has everything at the big cloud providers because of audit logs, high slash, global network etc. And no the hetzner video shows already that hetzner can't fullfil all required security certifications.

They have rows and rows of desktop PCs there.

With 'really' care I mean if you process millions or billions you just don't go to hetzner.

And doing encryption on rest with what decryption method? Manual unlock through a remote console?

At Google you literally have encryption on rest by default with key rotation build in and you can use your own keys.

The ACLU has been a borderline joke for a while now. They've long lost their ways from the Ira Glasser days and are just another organization that succumbed to political polarization.
I believe the new licensing of Windows 11 is similar to what you suggest. The so called free edition is adware, whereas the paid license has less. MS made big investments in Xandr and OpenAI. With all the rich data they can glean from their properties, they could become the new king of ad tech.

The Twitter Files show government agencies directly pressuring Twitter to cover or suppress stories. They did this despite a Republican president being in power.

So yes, that is "the state itself [is] executing editorial control." You are just spinning words if you say, "ok, yeah, they do it, but it's not consistent."

I think wholesale prices for electricity in Germany are still around 3x compared to before the pandemic, and around 4-5x compared to 2020.

The big peak (up to 10x) is over, but the energy prices already increased a lot in autumn of 2021, when Russia first reduced the gas deliveries.

> Is their position really going to be that parents don't have the right to parent their kids?

Parents can parent all they want without this law. I am a parent, and this law would not help me in my parenting of my kids online. In fact, I would prefer my kids be able to sign up for accounts without having to share any private information about themselves, including their age.

> There has been a very strange desire by some to get direct access to kids and to influence them without parental approval or supervision.

You're veering off into "pizza basement" levels of conspiracy here.
Reading things like this makes me realize just how “over” using Windows I’ve gotten the last few years.

I’m not going to decry Linux as the superior, flawless option in every way which everyone should use. It has rough edges, bugs and issues too, but those are your bugs and issues, which you can actually do something about.

It’s not going to be fundamentally abusive in nature and there’s not going to be anything running on your machine which you didn’t put there.

God I’m so glad I don’t have to put up with Windows on a daily basis anymore.
> There has been a very strange desire by some to get direct access to kids and to influence them without parental approval or supervision.

I’ve noticed this as well. One recent instance is opposition to the proposed Parents Bill of Rights Act in the US, which would require elementary schools to obtain parental consent before a minor child’s gender pronouns or preferred name is changed. That seems like a pretty reasonable rule to me.
I don't like it any more than you, but my biggest beef is iOS nagging me all the time with modal dialog boxes to sell me apple paid services. It won't be Apple lecturing Microsoft on this topic.
The visceral reactions about twitter on HN since mr Musk took over often feel like this guy. I wonder what makes people so eager to state their opinion on the topic of twitter.

The US invested so much effort into this because they were worried that their own agents were involved with the theft. This was all part of their effort to clean up the massive corruption post-Silk Road seizure.

Apple was just reassuring customers and the market, by telling them that their tiny size and newbie market status was an advantage, not a disadvantage.

But they clearly had high ambitions for their new revolutionary ergonomic mobile "phone" + "music player" + "internet". They wanted to define a new indispensable market and they wanted to own it. They already had a multi-year product path and design pipeline for regular major upgrades in place.

The iPhone was intended to be a "next big thing" from the start.

And it seems unlikely Steve was selling Intel on doing a new chip for 1% of the phone market. He was telling Intel this was the future, in some form.

Apple was an objective market demonstration, with no ambiguity, that there was now a need for low-power first (as apposed to speed first) that would got to other suppliers if Intel didn't move.

This was a leadership failure at Intel. They happen.

Pulled a random question from my ChatGPT history: "How do I get my current account ID on AWS from the CLI?"

It gave the correct answer first, and then added a bizarre "additional" answer:

Another option is to use the aws organizations describe-account command with the --account-id parameter set to your account ID. This command returns a JSON object with information about your account, including the account ID. Here's an example command:

aws organizations describe-account --account-id 123456789012

To the downvoter...

I strive for simple infrastructure.

ARM doesn't support the x86 docker eco system. That's a significant strike but not totally unworkable for me.

My primary database isn't prepackaged with the ARM packages nor does the originating org build one. I could build it myself, which I have done plenty over the years. I did try it, but the dependencies aren't up to date on ARM. So now I'm building dependencies and the software package. Building software from scratch can be a rabbit hole that eats untold amount of time. After a one-day effort I gave up and abandoned it. I'll revisit again if Hetzner brings Ampere to the US and I can verify the instances have much higher IOPS ceilings.

Enter another distro and I have to rebuild all of my provisioning and management scripts for all my services with all the testing entailed in the new dependency chains. I'd rather try to build my db from source again, frankly.
Once Windows 10 is no longer supported, this may be the thing that drives me to Proton/Wine for my next gaming rig when GTA-6 finally ships for PC.
That isn't quite the conclusion the article draws though. Most people would interpret "positive/negative" impact as meaning whether the badge will help or hurt you in your job search.

Instead, the article evaluates whether engineers with the badge are higher or lower skilled than average.

As such, the only conclusion you could really draw is if you're a hiring manager, you should not view an "Open to Work" badge as a negative signal for a candidate.
Oh my god, are you serious? Or I just naively assumed that the dark history of China back in the 50s and 60s are well known? The Great Leap Forward. The Anti-Right Campaign (BTW, “right” in Marxism terms are akin to the left in the western world). The Four Cleansing Movement. The Campaign to Eliminate the Four Pests… Millions of people died of hunger and millions more lost their civil rights for decades! People who questioned whether an acre could produce more than 5000KG of rice got persecuted.

Considering the US had one of the largest economic booms in history once their was easy access to travel (cars, commercial aircraft), I can’t help but to put on my tinfoil hat and ask “why”? Would this not place huge limitation on access??

On a side note: apartments and close quarters were the worse thing during COVID. Now immediately following that they are promoting it?
In a similar vein, the much much more elaborate book: Scott McCloud's - Making Comics, teaches more about visual communication than any other I came across.

To single out an example: the chapter about picking which moments to frame, if you have 6 frames for a story, really did change the way I remember events from then on.
Seems to be product people that have a need to launch a feature to which they can doctor some KPIs and justify their promotion. The longterm damage to the company is probably in the billions, so I also have no idea why the top execs don't understand they should just make sure they aren't losing OS market share.

Honestly, how many surviving Google products were developed at Google instead of outside it and then got absorbed by it at some point? They keep absorbing working startups and often killing their products to work on new products, only for those products to always be incredibly niche and never survive more than half a decade or so. Basically only the actual business-oriented ones, with anything consumer-facing shutting down fairly quickly.

God, G+ was bad though.

well, to be fair, the app store has ads in search. When you search for app X, you're likely to see its competitor Y as the first result. (Though this is obviously not Jobs' doing.)
It's a pain in Apple Photos that continually nags you about running out of space or buying more. They also have persistent notification badges for settings if you don't turn on iCloud.

I'd rather we just outlaw the creepy, dangerous, dragnet forever-memory spying at the core of their business model and see how the whole landscape adjusts after that happens, before deciding if further regulation is necessary.

But I'd settle for anything else that hurts them, at this point.

Consistency is impossible because there are far too many posts for us to read them all. If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

People always feel like the mods are against their team when they get moderated, but that's an illusion. We don't track (or care) what users' views are. We care when they're breaking the site guidelines, which you have been doing repeatedly.

I was able to catch myself before doing this, but sort of a cautionary tale how bias has sneaked into my thinking the last few months...

Friend of mine has a good job - however the company conducted layoffs and cut most of her team, with her being one of the exceptions so she has since been burdened with the weight of the roles of the laid off.

Given her morale quickly ended up in the shitter, she asked me to put out feelers to see if I knew of anyone hiring. I went to post on LinkedIn saying (without naming her of course) that I had a very talented friend looking for a new role. The weird part is that I almost made it a point to mention that she was still currently employed.

This is totally unfair thinking given current market trends. Lots of good people have been laid off because they were in the wrong barn at the wrong time. I know this, but I can't help but allow the question to float around in the back of my head, "well WHY was this person laid off, was it performance related at all or were they just unlucky?"

I'm sure I'll be laid off at some point in the future (again), and I probably wouldn't mark myself as OpenToWork. I'd be open about current employment status, but probably wouldn't broadcast it.

No it's not, you cleary are misinterpretting the article.
>we defined an emergent ability as an ability that is “not present in small models but is present in large models.”

models are taken (because there is no other way) as black boxes and the only comparison is made between the models not between a model and it's subsystems (because again noone knows the "sub-systems" of a model, those are just some derived weights that can not be ascribed any meaning). this is precisly the 2Mpx camera and the 12Mbpix camera comparison not the fluid dynamics vs particle movements comparison.

Yeah, this is the naive O(n^n) solution. Remove every wall, see what path is the cheapest. Having come up with this, I specifically wanted a more elegant solution. As it turns out, you can do it in one shot (but it's a bit tricky).
