> What is this about?

> This text is about a complicated history of the Tanesar sculptures, particularly a sculpture of the goddess Matrika, and how it became part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It details how the sculptures were illegally trafficked and acquired by the Wiener family and how the District Attorney's office uncovered the smuggling rings. It also discusses the idea of restitution and repatriation of the sculptures and the need for open dialogue about what is best for the sculptures.

Return to who? The city state of Athens? Or are you suggesting that whoever governs the land at the time is the owner? If that's the case then their sale by the ottomans to Elgin was legitimate, and therefore the rightful owner is the UK.
My wife has a 2022 VW.

If the door is not closed and you shift into drive, you also get a very loud annoying beep and visuals.

Not only that, the brakes engage and the car LOCKS ITSELF IN PARK AND DOES NOT LET YOU DRIVE EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER IS IN ‘D’!!!

I pray the door sensor doesnt fail while driving on the highway, or theres never a situation that arises where the car needs to be driven regardless of the door being open.

On top of that, the door locks /trunk locks act very strange while the engine is running /driver door is open. Still dont have that figured out.

I’ve suggested that we don’t purchase another VW.
Another account created 3 hours ago. Very interesting
Nuclear is not carbon-free, and the green did not shut down the reactors. That decision was made in 2011, and 2019 was the latest point where it could have been cancelled. Both times when the green had no significant power to force anything.
This seems like an appeal to authority?

The title is misleading. The asking price is $300 million (the original sale price from years ago) but bids are expected in the $60 million range.

It's that ominous.
Really interesting that my favorite sci-fi book, Pandora's Star is in the middle of a void in the center of a large sci-fi cluster.

It explains why I couldn't find anything like it.

Also very explanatory the fact the Tolkien's The Two Towers is right by its side, because I also love that book.

And now I'm already downloading the other "outliers" close to Pandora's Star.
Not really, no. That came about more from people claiming to have good security, but not disclosing their security practices and many of them turning out to be rather insecure.

Many products (Google Docs, Youtube, Office 365, Dropbox, etc) allow sharing things via unguessable URLs; it's a standard practice that was safe, until browsers and browser extensions decided it was okay to send private URLs to other parties.

I would not be surprised if the EU steps in at some point and fines them heavily for it.
I mean - to be fair, you have this already today.

It's just limited to html/js/css as the tooling.

Which is actually a-ok for the vast majority of use-cases. Honestly, I really don't want companies to be making GUIs using WASM/WebGPU. Html/css/js solve that domain fairly well already, and the "canvas-only" wasm implementations I've seen so far are pretty damn monstrous. Outside of being a completely opaque box to me, the user, they're also usually not terribly performant, break all sorts of expected behavior, and have cross platform issues.

I'm interested in seeing if webGPU enables more ML possibilities on the web, especially ML that's running client side and not over the wire. But really - that's about it.

GUI tasks seem like a bad pick for this. They're literally several steps backwards from where we are right now, and they completely remove the ability to inspect the running application as the user.

And that last point is a really, really big deal. Personally, I like a web that supports things like 3rd party integrations, ad-blockers, user-agent css styling, etc. I don't want a fucking canvas riddled with ads that I cannot interact with.
It can be true, you can know it's true, and your life can still be a lie. "Moral progress" is often of the form of people more fully living out the morality that they already know.

Excellent point! Thank you for showing the glaring flaw more to explore.
Tearing down a building in a downtown area is expensive and if demand for residential units also drops (ie: why would you want to live in an empty office building wasteland). So might be better to invest in buildings in further out areas that have not been built up as offices yet. Removing the daily need for commuting to work can change a lot of the dynamics around where people want to live even if they stay in the same metro areas.
Why wouldn't the safe thing be to reach out from the steering wheel with one of the fingers of your right hand, and move the little slider thing on the wiper switch to increase the wipe speed?

You know, like on my appallingly primitive 1998 Range Rover, or pretty much anything from the same era?
Well anti-hate speech legislation is pretty common in Europe while the USA doesn't have such a thing.
I find it interesting that they pick a tiny platform out in the Gulf of Mexico, but show enormous structures from the North Sea. There are giant platforms out in the Gulf also. Thousands of smaller ones, and some drilling rigs too.
Well I kind of get it when people say it, for me personally I do only see it in the very 1st pic a little.

And dystopian, not at all. There are SO MANY crazy dystopian things out there. An oil rig, for me, has nothing dystopian at all.
Cool visualization, but the model needs work. The closest book to "Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets" is "The Victorian Lady's Guide to Sex, Marriage, and Manners".

Well, that is evil by design irrespective of the particular implementation, no? ;-)
Did you ask them what they hate, exactly? The fact that there is no physical button (because they like the feeling of a physical button), or that the touchscreen buttons are not reactive enough and never show what you would like them to?
Is OEM integration profitable though? I would imagine Microsoft and Sony squeezed the best deal and maybe it will bring profit in later years when the research debt is paid
That's not really true anymore. RAM is so big these days that most databases can fit into it and be blazingly fast. It's all the classic shit that slows people down. Loops in loops in loops in loop with nested if's. Not understanding the correct way to structure IF statements (Common case first etc).
I'd suggest anyone interested watch the series of EverydayAstronaut interviews with Elon at starbase. Or read interviews with past/current SpaceX engineers. He is definitely involved in the design and pushing the schedule hard. I don't understand the huge accreditation to him on either side though, obviously it's not just him working on it.
Here is my controversial opinion: The bikers are the worst people in NYC, they are constantly running through crosswalks while they don't have the light, going the wrong way down the street, riding on the sidewalks, etc. They never stop for anyone or for any reason and if they hit you they'll likely blame you also. You are far more likely to get hit by a bike than a car. I actually hate the bikes and bike lanes and would be overjoyed to see them banned or at least heavily ticketed for bad behavior. In my years of living here I have never once seen a bicycle stop at a stop light. ("Idaho stops" don't count, that's just stopping and then running the light)

Furthermore the electric "bicycles" are actually just electric motorcycles with auxiliary pedals and as such should require a license to drive.
We have stopped investing in startups that have offices for no good reason. It is often a sign that they don’t have ways to measure their employee progress and productivity, and that they are wasteful with money. Scalability of startups that cling to physical office culture is also poor, as they lack experience tapping into the global market of talent, artificially constraining themselves to locals or those employees willing to relocate.

Offices are a big corp’s game, not fledgling startups.
The main issue with these flavors of proposal is we constantly devalue public transport from the right/libertarian side to start with, and now from the left/progressive side.

From the left, theres this push that it has to be free or abnormally cheap.
The problem with this notion is
1) tons of people ride the subway who can afford to pay 2-5x as much.
2) We know this because subways are competing with Uber which costs $20-50
3) We already subsidize 50% discount metrocards for elderly, disabled, poor, students, etc, etc
4) People just do NOT value things that are free

Transit is already in a big enough budget hole, absurdly cheap, and competing against much more expensive competition.

The problem is not that it needs to be cheaper, the problem is it needs to be more convenient/frequent/safe/clean/etc.

The race to $0 will only make these options worse.
It is criminal.

There are a large number of services (Dropbox, Youtube, Google Docs, Office 365, etc) that use unguessable URLs for sharing and hence clearly don't share your idea of what it means to be "public" on the internet.
Yet they all though it to be worth the engineering time to deliver this utility.
While i agree with you i know a lot of people that find interaction via a browser more natural than a desktop application.

YoH and The Killing Game were both great, Worst Case Scenario and Learning Curve had a lot of potential but after the first couple of seasons they seemed to get bored of exploring the Maquis-Starfleet conflict other than Repression in S7.

> Tuvok and Seven becoming acquainted through her assistance with the consequences of his injury and sharing perspectives on their shipmates was fun.

The collaborator versus resistance aspect of Chakotay and Paris on the timeship too.

Yeah, I have a lot of time for the perspective that the ship should have been in bits by Endgame.
Which is ironic as the vast majority of the human population, including the very same people with such views, are only alive because of substantial amounts of machinery. Such as those used in the Haber-Bosch process.
One of the worst readings imaginable on what is actually “we, the people of this city, should charge an evil but apparently necessary business more money for the valuable sponsorship they willingly pay for next time the contract is up”
As an experimentalist who worked in the field for a long time, my answer to the title is: The Equivalence Principle.

Because gravitational charge and inertial mass are seemingly inseparable from one another, gravity is special. It is the concept that makes General Relativity possible and the empirical fact that makes gravitational experiments difficult and unlike any other.

The archive absolutely changes. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally.

My wife is a historian. "Oh, those records were destroyed in 1920 when a new archivist took over and changed the recordkeeping methods" and "oh, the boxes with the stuff between years X and Y were destroyed by bombs in WW2" are common occurrences. Historians understand this and develop methods for dealing with this but we should also understand that the archive is never going to be immutable.

This is not to say that deliberately editing the archive is good, only that it is inevitable for reasons much more banal than what is described in TFA.
That's news to me. Got a citation or example?
There's a specific term for this dysfunction:

bowd·ler·ize

To remove material that is considered offensive or objectionable from (a book, for example); expurgate.
[After Thomas Bowdler (1754-1825), who published an expurgated edition of Shakespeare in 1818.]

The music in Scrubs is pretty integral to the character of the show, but they had to change many of the songs for streaming, so the only way to watch the show as it was meant to be is from the dvds which will slowly disappear as demand for physical media dries up.
IMHO - from business perspective 5G is just a feature gate to extract more value out of consumers through price discrimination. Both from oem and carrier perspective
This same music licensing issue happened to Charmed as well. The opening credits theme is gone; the guest bands that played at the end of each episode are gone. A ton of late 90s early 2000s culture, just... gone. No one who watches that show today will ever understand why it was enjoyable to those who originally watched it.
The argument seemed more that the value of bike sponsorship was significantly higher than the cost. Then, there’s the credible accusation that Citibank’s conduct has caused harm, and it is therefore reasonable, though debatable and possibly naive, to suggest that Citibank take action out of social goodwill in addition to whatever settlements they have made (https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-federal-an... has a 90 million NY settlement)

It’s not just up to Citibank, though, as the bikes have Lyft (I believe?) as an owner and whatever contractual agreements with the city. Further, there would still need to be some sort of deposit system to prevent casual theft/neglect.
> But the vast majority of the content that Meta reports falls under child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) – which includes photos and videos of pornographic content – rather than sex trafficking. Unlike with child sexual abuse imagery, there is no legal requirement to report child sex trafficking, so NCMEC must rely on all social media companies to be proactive in searching for and reporting it. This legal inconsistency – the fact that child sexual abuse imagery must be reported, but reporting child sex trafficking is not legally required – is a major problem, says Staca Shehan, vice-president of the analytical services division at NCMEC.

That says it all. When legally required, Facebook is aggressive and expedient about enforcement. Otherwise, they are not.
Says who? What actual energy expert says that you absolutely need nuclear for that?
As someone who just went though a 3 month battle is one of the major ISP's in the UK to get a family members property connected I can suggest 1 big thing that many customers will notice a differnce between LTE and 5G. Gaming. First games are getting huge, so the extra speed is always a bonus for getting the title downloaded faster.

At the family members property inquestion their old fixed line boardband connection was 20meg (That was the fastest they could get on VDSL2 because of line quality and distance to the street cab - no G.Fast and no current plans for Openreach fibre nor OFNL), with two teenage kids in the house with current gen consoles each and the parents also wanting to stream on demand video and on of the parents working from home a few days a week, their connection would get overwhelmed all the time.

"Thankfully", their street is on the Virgin Media network however its only recently been added to the network and the property has a shared drive so the address was coming up as that VM was not avalable at the address even though there was a clear run of grass from the cable duct to the house.

3 months later we finally got VM to connect the house and now they have 500meg (did a cost benifit on the speed needed and opted for 500 over a gig cause for they also inisted on a phone line & calls, which was gonna add another £25 p/m on the bill for a gig and they should be fine with 500 - the kids are not contrubiting to the cost) and the kids love it and the parents like that the kids are not complaining about the net speed any more.

5G is rolling out in their area (Currently marked as avalable outdoors, weak indoors which I validated with a site visit), but had that been avaliable (and not over subscribed) it would have been a viable Home Boardband alt to their current fixed line providers as it would have provided the speeds the family required, a low latency so the kids can't complain while playing online and decent video calling for the WFM parent and saved the hassle of getting the property connected to the network (which I kind of expect to happen again once OpenReach finally plan the fibre build for their street, the current copper phone lines are underground not on telegraph poles and I'm not sure of the quality of the duct work that line runs though so it might be a PITA to get OpenReach - prob the reason the area is currently not on the plans) and would be cheaper per month than Virgin Media.

I used to use LTE for my home boardband for a while (was in temp accommodation helping with a family illness, landlord didn't want me putting in a fixed line and no 5G at the time), the speed was fine for me alone (about 100meg iirc, I just had to wait for big downloads), the kicker was the 100ms+ latency I was getting on LTE, which was a PITA esp playing first person shooters online. (EDIT: That and also being CGNAT'ed - not the end of the world, but gaming still preferes not being CGNAT'ed - but the shift to IPv6 _should_ fix that.) If all you can get is LTE its "ok", but I wouldn't recommend it if you have alt's such as 5G or (decent) fixedline.

A "degenerate special case" of a general concept, in mathematics [1], is a special case that no longer has the complexities that motivated the need for that concept in the first place.

Consider, for example, the evolution of a CRUD app that was first written in, say, the late 80s for OS/400, using an interaction style where it's all full screen forms rendered as text that you fill out with your keyboard, then submit. Say, you rewrote that app in the 00s in Windows Forms but using the same interaction design, and then again in the 20s as a browser-based app. If you look at the evolution of what happened to UI technology through the lens of that app, you won't feel like anything is amiss in 2023, but you're also kind of missing the point of having a GUI in the first place, as opposed to, say, a text terminal.

Whenever I hear "all I need is a textedit and a button" from a web developer, I kind of assume that this is what informs their viewpoint.

If you instead look at the evolution of UI technology through the lens of an app like Photoshop, it will immediately be obvious to you what it is that GUIs uniquely have to offer that, for example, text terminals can't, and why rewriting such a UI in a browser is anything but trivial.

If bad PR was a problem surely you can start by actually actioning reports on obvious cybercrime pages instead of saying that they "reviewed my reports but that none of the groups were found to have violated its standards".

I stand by my argument. That disgusting company doesn't care about crime and malicious activity because it's cheaper to let it happen and simply clean up the few PR incidents with some lies which people (such as you) will happily believe.

> I would suggest discussing your approach and your doubts with a mathematician

Great point, this is my attempt to do that. Truly, it may be an inefficient means, but it seemed like a simple approach. Also, it is fun, even when I am wrong. It means I get to learn something new and see from a different angle.

> Another commenter already pointed out a possible problem of your "mirror" method: you're relying in being able to read a number backwards. To do that, you need to know all the digits. But it doesn't work well with numbers with infinite decimal digits like pi or its inverse.

True, this is a glaring flaw in the current reasoning.

Thank you for the thoughtful response!

Ask HN: LLMs being used to spread propaganda, how can we stop it?
This thread - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35726563 - is interesting. Multiple brand new accounts are spreading pro American and anti communist talking points

On Reddit a couple of communities I follow have had an odd thing happen. A flood of new accounts, all speaking intelligibly, spreading what can only be described as toxicity, outrage porn and concealed propaganda through mass commenting. When you looked into it the amount of brand new accounts is staggering.

This is just a feeling but could it be that the Cambridge Analytica spin offs (which we know still operate) have been woken up to the potential of LLMs to spread propaganda?

Let’s say I’m wrong now. I have to assume I will eventually be right.

It would be terrifying to think because I’m not sure how to fight against this. Is there a way?
Yes. See 47 USC Section 230.
