Twitter themselves had a guide that explained why NPR and BBC were not labelled as such, which has been revised since, but is still archived.

"State-financed media organizations with editorial independence, like the BBC in the UK or NPR in the US for example, are not defined as state-affiliated media for the purposes of this policy."

your comments on the brakes are just straight up false.
So https://www.publicstorage.com/ is government controlled?
Oh, Multiplan was horrible.

As a SCO Unix and MS Xenix developer, I remember having to write lots of nasty little programs in C to do stuff with it and its files, just to make it usable. It had a terrible trick of writing multiple documents to the same file.

No idea why you are getting downvoted. This indeed would explain why they want to do it themselves. No other startup can manage that scope.
“Dear citizens, please be wary of attacks on your devices designed to compromise your privacy and personal information. It would be unfortunate if we had competition in the game.”
Ah that brings back memories.
This would be fine in a world that where it’s generally considered OK to fail. Unfortunately, this is not the world we live in, given the wide publicity reach that would be required for your idea to be effective.

(Similarly, in a much better world a politician who had changed their mind or did not have an informed opinion would need to say that out loud; but when I teach—smart, motivated young adults!—I have to make them unlearn so much fear of being wrong and shame of not understanding things that I can’t see admitting ignorance working out in real-world politics.)

In narrower circles, this could probably work. Amazon is already forced to pay newly-hired programmers above market rate, I hear,—would a former Amazon executive need to?
Most people don't have those because USB-C Power Delivery requires data pins to negotiate fast charging. I think it's required to get anything beyond the basic 5V .5A power out of a USB socket these days.
Truth hurts, I suppose? Or are you going to argue with a straight face that the fact that NPRs CEO came directly from US government propaganda bureau doesn't prove the new labeling correct?
This seems like it's just guessing based on the length of the proposed password.

It also doesn't explain a method of how the "crack" gets done. Because tables of passwords and hashes were part of its training, the "AI" can recognize the hash and give back a password? Or something more esoteric?
Or is she....
I wonder if this can be solved by coming up with the acronym you want (because let’s be honest, the clever acronym is what matters) and asking ChatGPT to work out what it means.

You've reminded me of a friend of mine who reached the point in his life where he was going to furnish his home with new furniture. He boasted how he was only going to buy American and wasn't going to be like everyone else favoring stuff from elsewhere. After one day of furniture shopping exclusively American, he said he couldn't justify spending so much just to buy American. And I was dumbfounded. Like he honestly believed people weren't buying American-made because they actually favored stuff from China. The thought it was a cost issue never crossed his mind until he had to spend his own money.
Raising almost a billion US$ in 2016? It seems like a lot for what boils down to "advertising in doctor's offices". Would be interesting to know who the VCs were.
It disregards editorial control, which was part of how Twitter used to decide this.

I am viewing Twitter more than before because I am attracted to the open speech where political banning is no longer occurring. I do not know all who have been blocked under Musk but it feels more open.
The belief isn't just that the rich won't go to jail for crimes. Rather, the belief is that the entire system is designed to give the rich incredible leeway not offered to the poor. A basic example would be wage theft, which, despite totaling billions of dollars in theft a year, is only considered a "disorderly person offense." In New Jersey, for instance, theft over $200 is a felony, but this doesn't apply to wage theft, for some reason.

Also, we have a sitting Supreme Court justice who has accepted millions of dollars in "gifts." It doesn't look like anything is going to happen to him. And this type of egregious transgression is just what we know about. It should be clear that Clarence Thomas' behavior is not some crazy outlier. Many politicians seem closer to billionaires than to general members of the public.
Certainly not arguing that it's fair or just, but it's important to distinguish the mechanisms to have any hope of potentially improving the situation.
> "A raisin's worth of structural paint is enough to cover the front and back of a door,"

> Chanda uses a Boeing 747 as an example in his team's study. To cover these planes, approximately 500 kilograms of paint is needed. Chanda estimates that using structural paint, manufacturers could cover the plane with only 1.7 kilograms.

Can someone explain how this will look like in real life? I have a hard time imagining painting something that big with such tiny supply of paint. Brushing can not possibly work, but even if its sprayed over, how can so little spread over such large area?
I think you're out of your mind if you don't think a lifetime license is practical.

The default license for almost everything, including software, is lifetime. I do not pay Ford an annual fee to advance the timing of the ignition sequence when I need to accelerate into traffic. I do not renew a subscription for the thermostat on my wall every winter when I need to put it in heating mode. When I was young, I bought a license for Epic pinball from then Epic MegaGames. I still have a license to that & can still enjoy it.

I would like to compare this thing with real Lisps in the terms of abilities.

Also I would like to know the correct transcription of the name.
the point of my comment is that whether P = NP to begin with is still to be determined. in the case of ChatGPT, it's easy for it to respond, but how difficult is it for you to verify that it was correct, or not? how does that compare with the difficulty in doing the task to begin with?
But sales have been declining every year from 7.6m in 2017 to 0.35m in 2021: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1085604/annual-unit-sale...

I just want to buy it and use it until I need to upgrade… if I’m issuing it I’ll usually upgrade every major update, but a subscription happens every 12 months (or whatever) no matter what… I can’t say “I’ll update next month when I have some money set aside” and forgo the amazing new features for a month… or I’m not really using this very often and the new features look non-compelling so I’ll just keep this version for the quarterly use I’m getting out of it.

Agree on services but not if it is merely a service to justify a subscription
Perplexity scores are pretty common, which I think involves taking a text corpus like wikipedia and seeing how well the model predicts the next word (token) of it.
Not sure at all..

They are siting on gigantic data flywheel of users usages.. (and private access to the best machine that can utilized that data..)

So, IMHO it would be hard to catch with their speed (not in this hype cycle).

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2000/apr/12/julianborger

"Cable Network News (CNN) and National Public Radio, (NPR) denied that the "psy-ops" officers influenced news coverage and said the internships had been stopped as soon as senior managers found out . For its part, the army said the programme was only intended to give young army media specialists some experience of how the news industry functioned."

That...seems like a pretty reasonable explanation?

Just to be clear, the alternative theory you have is that the US government wanted to influence NPR's coverage, and thought the best, most inconspicuous way to do so would be by using an intern placement program targeting Army media officers?
Exactly. If this was really legal, I do not understand why Ford would not market it's newest pick-up truck as "now with flying ability!" and then just add in small print "it can not actually fly at all".

Thank you, and happy world-building!
NPR is biased though. Extremely so.
As long as they can send me books that aren't just thrown into a large box with room to be jostled around until they get damaged then they are way better than Amazon.
The biggest mistake of Paul Ottelini for sure. The world would look very, very different if he said yes.

My household has stopped shopping at Amazon since January 2021 and I'm surprised by how painless it's been.

(One of our NYR each year is we pick a corporation/company we're too reliant on and cut it out.)
NPR lost the influence that it once had on Twitter, controlling narrative that suited their political ideology. So, it quit. That's great new for Twitter.

NPR is far worse than a state-affiliated media. Its coverage during the riots and protests following the accidental murder of George Floyd focused on "racially disproportionate policing". It wasn't journalism. It was BLM protest using NPR as a microphone. There wasn't a single show that discussed crime statistics. Policing methods were discussed to the extent that it suited the narrative that cops in America are a racist militant group.
I am also Danish, and I agree.
This comment doesn't hold up when you consider the person in charge of running the US government in 2020 was adamantly against any kind of COVID-19 prevention measures.
But the person swearing the oath doesn't believe in gods, so swearing on any of them will mean much less to them.

If the only reason to do it is because the people around them will hold their oath in higher regard - shouldn't they swear on a stack of all religious texts, and on all gods?
Given how many congressman NRA owns, it's more like the government is NRA-affiliated...

NRA gets to run the show while the public pays the price.
I wonder, was there was ever a time when buying the lifetime license turned out to be a better deal than a fixed-term one?
If the previous owners were truly committed to upholding the lifetime license, they would have never sold the company without an ironclad legally enforceable guarantee the new owners would uphold the lifetime license as well.

They clearly didn't. They either didn't care, or it would have decreased the sale price of the company (or the ability to sell it at all) and they preferred the money.

So I absolutely hold the original owners equally responsible. They made the promise and they created the conditions for it to be broken. Which was an entirely predictable outcome, which is why calling it a "lie" doesn't seem inappropriate.
You can do unauthenticated with your watch assuming you’ve authenticated it at least once and haven’t removed your watch from your wrist since. Also, you can unlock your car with with your phone unauthenticated, or even if the battery is out.

HSTS is just what says for the browser not even try HTTP connection, but directly HTTPS.
Consider the statement "2 + 2 = 4". If there were no people to express what that meant, it would still be true and have meaning.
In fairness a Prius has no clutch, no torque convertor, no starter motor, no sliding dog clutches, no syncos, no turbo etc. It's unfortunate that people understood the Prius system as a normal car plus the electrical motive system but the reality is actually not nearly as complex.
> Notes was pretty horrible for creating all sorts of legacy technical debt. Some handy Joe would create some database that would worm itself into critical business processes but be completely unmaintained.

And is the "better" alternative is to avoid that "legacy technical debt" by forcing that "handy Joe" to keep doing things by hand, by denying him the tools to solve his problem? Because if you don't have the connections to get budget to pay a professional developer, you shouldn't be able to solve your problem with software?

IMHO, it's better to think of those kinds of "handy Joe" apps as prototypes.

Let's say you're being paid $1k per month by your job. You would say you receive almost nothing, right? Simultaneously, you would also say what you do get is essential to your livelihood. Same here, larger scale.

Maybe OP, Data bricks founder, should reply to this comment and answer if he or anyone else in his team paid people to get this post with a not-so-useful-dataset to the top of HN.
what am I saying is that there's a way to design a site on a $5 VM that serves static text that wouldn't be slow even if it was #1 on HN.

if you disagree with that then we'll have to agree to disagree.
It depends. For typical software and websites, beauty matters every single time: when you like something more and more and more every time you use it, to the point of increasing usage, recommending it, spending money and so on; and when you hate something so much that functionality is effectively reduced by avoidance, distraction, fatigue, rage quitting etc.

True but it does lean heavily in one political direction. If it is receiving any federal funding then it should be pushed to neutrality, and remove the one-sidedness of their news programing.

I think NPR would be very upset if the government required political neutrality as part of its funding.
This was the prevailing wisdom for many years but the recent watering-hole attack by China has made me reconsider this position.

Public Enemy would like a word.
Here's Twitter's old definition of who is and isn't "state-affiliated". They have since changed it. Note that NPR was literally used as an example of someone who receives state funds but is not "state-affiliated".

It's not just Meta, journalists and commenters even on tech sites like Ars Technica or Verge seem to love piling on any negative coverage about working at big tech companies (Google, Uber, even Apple occasionally).

I think Meta and Google are particularly disliked by journalists due to both specifically cutting into news industries. But I think a bigger part of it is the idea that software engineers are overpaid and spoiled brats!
I am a native English speaker and never heard the word "semaphore" until taking CS classes in college. I cannot think of a common use for the term, unlike flag (see them all the time), register (do that with cars and schools) or stack (lots of those in my kitchen).
This was the implication of the label from the start, when twitter created it years ago.
I think one can unlock a device locked by too many password guesses by plugging it into a computer that is connected to the same iCloud account, but perhaps that feature has been removed in recent security updates.
Right but at the very least we can strive for consistency and efficiency, if only to save cost and energy. ChatGPT may save time, but not energy or money, assuming your idea is to just totally rely on LLM's for data processing (which is why it "doesn't matter" for you anymore).

If somehow magically from the beginning of computing we had a natural language interface to a computer's operations, we would still have arrived at particular standards/specs for data formats. There would still be something like xml/json/csv. Indeed, I'd wager there would still at a certain point be some kind of high level programming (or otherwise formal) language adopted, to answer the particular clumsiness of natural language itself [1].

Putting aside any issues of reliability, its simply not sustainable (economically, environmentally) to put all our work into this stuff. Even if it does shine with one off stuff like this.

Friction. These problems shouldn’t exist, but they do anyway, and they’re everywhere. Anything human is inevitably going to be imperfect and messy to some greater or lesser degree, introducing friction into dealing with it. Especially as we produce more and more unstructured or semi-structured data, which AI is particularly good at wrangling. If AI can help us cut through that friction significantly faster and more accurately, that’s a win.
The government is obligated to let you speak, no private citizen or organization is obligated to let you speak without interruption
Is the filesystem interface itself the pain point? Would you rather be organizing URLs? Or is it the compound nature of source versus build machinery? Would you rather lodge your source and build machinery in polyglot?
This claim is easy to answer.

The Ten Commandments were written with the finger of God on stone and stored IN the Ark of the Covenant.

> Deuteronomy 10:2 KJV
> And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

The ceremonial laws were written by Moses on parchment and stored BESIDE the Ark of the Covenant.

> Deuteronomy 31:26 KJV
> Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.

There is a clear distinction between the two.

> Mark 12:30-31 KJV
> And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

There isn't any question about the two great commandments as they are identical in all the gospels where they are mentioned. There also isn't any question because Jesus was just quoting the first law from Deuteronomy and the second law follows rather strictly as a subset of the first law (love people as much as God loves people).

> Deuteronomy 6:5 KJV
> And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

This is also enshrined in the Ten Commandments themselves. The first 4 talk about how God wants to be worshipped. The last 6 talk about how God wants us to treat each other. Interestingly, when you compare text size the split seems about even and would indicate the first 4 commandments were on one stone tablet and the other 6 were on the other tablet.

Here's where we see Jesus mention 5 of the 6 commandments about people.

> Matthew 19:18-19 KJV
> He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

He didn't mention coveting OR the commandments about God for a reason. This man was covetous. Because of this, he also wasn't honoring God. Jesus tells the man what he lacks by telling him to sell all his things and thus eliminate his covetous problem to which the man goes away unwilling to part with his riches.

This doesn't mean Jesus didn't believe coveting was ok. He calls it out by name in at least two other gospels.

> Luke 12:15 KJV
> And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

> Mark 7:22 KJV
> Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Sounds like cancel culture on steroids.

I'm not sure about comparing strings to numbers.

But I know I appreciate it when I can query my database with:

SELECT * FROM orders WHERE delivery_day
between '2023-04-10' and '2023-04-12'

Instead of using

SELECT * FROM orders WHERE delivery_day
between PARSE_DATE('%Y-%m-%d', '2023-04-10')
and PARSE_DATE('%Y-%m-%d', '2023-04-12')

So I can see why language designers put in some implicit conversions.
