>Among other child-oriented boards, they have a teenagers board with 3 million subscribers, so evidently, yes.

Any user can make a subreddit about whatever they want. I'd wager the large majority of those users are not teenagers. Regardless, 'used by teens' != 'targeted for teens'.

>The site host, given that they're the ones providing adult material in a commercial context.

Which site host? Reddit is primarily a link aggregator.

> proposed we should create a standard system for labeling and mandate its use for commercial sites that offer adult material, just like we did with TV.

Yes! We need to make sure adults in no way be aware of or responsible for what media their children consume!

Of course that's the end game. We start with forcing companies to 'categorize' their content. Then we make it harder and harder to access the content that people like you have determined is undesirable.

>It's requiring site operators to provide the metadata needed for parents to be able to effectively parent without the solution being "lol just don't let your kid use any website at all".

It's requiring businesses to implement a massively expensive and arbitrary censorship system because parents are unable to tell their kids no. Metata wont be magically created and you know it. What's to stop a host from just refusing to label stuff porn? You full well know that what you are advocating for is the governmental review of all content on the internet.

>But we can force movie theaters to provide ratings of movies and require them to bar children from watching any pornographic films they show

The MPA is a voluntary rating scheme. You should look into it because it highlights all the obvious problems with what you are presenting. Misogyny, christian norms dictating what content can be shown, it's a disaster.

>Of course they do. They don't make it, but they're the ones providing it, and they make plenty of money doing so.
hey
If that's you're understanding, you don't really understand Reddit in the first place.

Look, just be a parent and stop forcing draconian policies on everyone else because you can't tell your kid no or monitor what they do online. Reddit is inappropriate for children, be responsible, don't let your children use it.
> Technically speaking, the Quran heavily restricts polygamy in Al-Nisa', 4:3

Al-Nisa 4:3 literally says:

> Each man may marry two or three or four but do not exceed this

I'm not sure if this counts as a heavy restriction.

> [...] or restrict yourself to what your right hands own of slavegirls since these do not have the same rights as wives

It also allows having an infinite number of slavegirls.
I'll add another one: all trucks and cars will be electric in 10 years.
Do you think regular employees care all that much about ChatGPT? It's a cute toy. If my employer says not to use it for work data, that's just not a big deal for me.
You can see it as a binary "in or out" for each element of S.
I would prefer Mozilla spend effort in improving the performance of Firefox; I always switch to it and then, to my repeated dismay, always fall back to Chrome because it just feels snappier.

Instead of identifying fake content, I'm more interested in features that generate fake stats for analytics, effectively making them useless. However, not sure if the Google money would keep flowing for such efforts.
Musk said he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share, and he bought Twitter at $54.20 per share. He has a habit of doing stupid things just so he can hit that number. The 4/17 launch date wasn't set until he got approval for launch just a few days prior. I wouldn't put it past him to have intended for a 4/20 launch when he applied for approval.

Inflation is never linear, and tends to over/under shoot.

Under normal circumstances, supply chain issues (otherwise known as supply reduction) results in demand being priced out of the market. But we didn’t do that. We gave stimmie checks, and gas cards, and increased unemployment benefits, and paused loan repayments.

When there’s not enough of thing X it means some people won’t get thing X. Giving people money to make it “more affordable” just pushes price higher without increasing affordability (as the market still settles on a market clearing price).
Of course that's what happened. Once companies saw they could make money hand over fist charging higher prices why on earth would they ever lower them back down once the supply issues were gone? Instead they just made record profits while they shifted the blame from "It's not our fault! There are shortages!" to "It's not our fault! It's inflation!"

Meanwhile they've suckered a bunch of folks into blaming inflation on the pathetic amount of government aid we gave people during the pandemic so that they didn't immediately lose their homes or starve to death while nobody could work. Now consumers are facing record amounts of debit, and evictions and utility disconnections for non-pay are rising and people still think the problem is that Americans just have too much free money.

It used to be possible for apps to just say "I'm gonna be the default for this, kthxbye" on Windows in the past. It did not go well in practice. Most users aren't going to be able to muck around ACLs on some config file; they'll just have their defaults silently hijacked, in the worst case by outright malware.

The sensible approach here is 1) a stable API to allow the app to request this, 2) a sane UX provided by the OS that makes it clear to the user what's going on and requires their explicit and definite consent, and 3) a legal crackdown on all abuse of market-dominant position - such as those injected Edge banners.
I'm not a fan of Mayor Adams since he's received a lot of "caviar treatment" from leaders of countries like Azerbaijan. The little joke about Android (people laughed) isn't a big deal.
Are you sure about that $7.3 billion? Last I checked, SBF was counting illiquid nonsense like Serum and MAPS tokens in that number.
I disagree with all your empirical assertions about DPRK, etc. but let's put that aside.

I think you underestimate two things:

1. The impossibility of straying from Marxism from a strictly scientific/historiographic point of view: It's similar to trying to chart an independent path from Newton or Darwin. Marx simply was the one who coined some plain true scientific observations, so your only two options are to artificially depart (towards incorrectness), or to try to pass off Marxist observations as personal novelties (as, say, Marshall McLuhan did). This is sussed out as soon as things begin to get politically interesting, and gets called a scandalous trick as soon as it's exposed (by both opponents and supporters). I think rigor and plain-speaking honesty is the better way.

2. The relationship between understanding Marxism and one's own economic situation. Marxism appeals to two large camps of people: people who pursue the truth no matter what, and toilers for whom settling for a wrong choice isn't an option. As the essay explains, "The West" has temporarily immunized itself from Marxism not in a rhetorical or cultural sense, but simply through sheer resource transfer. This is going away, and so Marxism is coming back.

In the end, the whole semantic discussion, which rarely points to any specific improvements and instead pleads for rhetorical or stylistic improvements, is a bit reminiscent of back in the 90s or 00s, when many well-meaning commentators argued that "feminism" had had its heyday. They argued it had become a rather toxic term, and that it was time for "egalitarianism" or some other re-skinned, watered-down variant that was more inclusive, to really make headway.

Of course, in the ensuing years feminism simply steadily gained ground until it became a national fixture, warts and all. This is basically what's going to happen with the supposedly-banished Marxism.
I agree with your overall point, but I'd like to correct a pet peeve of mine.

Private prisons are insignificant. The total government spending on private prisons at all levels is less than 1% of the government run prisons' payroll. Almost nobody is imprisoned in a privately run prison in the USA. (Private immigration detention is more significant)

Private prisons are a distraction from the real privatization issue in the prison system: public prisons outsourcing services to private companies. Nearly every prisoner in the US has to pay a private company a large amount of money to talk to their family. This is despite the fact we know that improving communication between prisoners and their family significantly decreases the risk they'll commit crimes once released. Rather than have the prison pay a fee to the company the company pays the prison a kickback from their profits, corrupting the incentives.

This may be my favorite all time HN comment.

I totally buy it too.
> Or maybe folks realize the degree of lies/mistruths inherent in its content is actually unmanageable and can’t be improved. After the hype wears off what it will be used for gets greatly curtailed and we see a big contraction.

I think it's going to be this the future that's ahead us. There's enormous faith being put in next token predictors as the intelligence breakthrough just because their output coincidentally reassembles like something that's derived through a really intelligent process.

LLMs do not hallucinate sometimes. They hallucinate all the time, it just is a coincident that sometimes these autocompletion of Tokens aligns with the reality. Just by chance, not by craft.

No, I understand what the probabilistic prediction means. The problem is that there is no way to tell if 538's prediction was any more accurate than if they'd said 50-50 (or any numbers whatsoever) because the presidential election is only every 4 years. We can't measure the predictive ability of his model at all. If Hillary won, we'd say "Yup, the model gave her 70%". When Trump won, we said "Yup, the model gave him 30%".
OnePlus. My 6T still works perfectly. No issues after 4 years of use, even the battery still lasts a good time. Sometime after they dropped support (since it's an old model), I installed DivestOS and it still works great, updates and all. Became my backup phone. I got myself a Nord2T now, and I like it a lot, I have the impression it will last forever too.

I had a Samsung in the past, but I had some issues with it.

Btw, I never buy top of the line phones.
I forget which late night show this was, but the guy said he wouldn't switch from his iPhone even if it punched him in the face every morning. That's not offensive humor anywhere except here and maybe within Google.

> All things told, this is a pretty innocuous incident of mmap causing problems, but I would encourage any aspiring DB engineers to read https://db.cs.cmu.edu/mmap-cidr2022 as it gives a great overview of the range of problems that can occur when using mmap

At first glance (doing a few text finds and a really quick read through the paper after clicking through that intro page with the poop emoji at the top and disregarding Recommended Music for this Paper:
Dr. Dre – High Powered (featuring RBX)) that paper seems too short to adequately explore the topic.

On the other hand these same guys (the CMU Database Group) are an amazing resource and their youtube channel offers some great stuff [1] that would allow a curious person to explore the topic in greater depth if they dug into the papers of everyone who gave presentations at CMU.

clickbait: How many of the world's leading software engineers who addressed CMU students and professors about their successful database products rely on mmap? The answer may surprise you.

538 does produce analysis. They do not produce polls - they consume polls.
I've always used a credit union, and I love it!

I can easily get a real person in front of me, there's not a million layers of bureaucracy, and most importantly - no bullshit fees. I don't constantly get my bank drained just for having an account in the first place.
>> No need to buy Apple

> you're definitely not seeing genuine AirTags 5 for $13

I didn't see anything in the comment which suggested they were. It is specifically points out there are devices not produced by Apple. Third parties can create compatible devices:

I was thinking more of this: https://jacobin.com/2016/08/mexico-teacher-union-strikes-oax...

Describing the prosecution of the head of the teachers union in 2013:

> Mexican Attorney General Jesús Murillo Karam charged Gordillo with money laundering, saying she had used the union funds to pay for airplanes, pilot training, her plastic surgeries, and purchases of luxury items in the United States. Juan Díaz de la Torre, who was a loyal member of her union caucus, became head of the union.

> While Gordillo was very likely guilty of the embezzlement of which she was accused, such practices are common in the Mexican labor bureaucracy. The motive for jailing her was political: first she had betrayed the PRI, and then she had opposed Peña Nieto.

The part about “such practices are common in the labor bureaucracy” is telling.

Corruption is so common, that any prosecution can (accurately!) be labeled political is one of the best signs of a corrupt system.

This isn’t about an employer controlled union. The union is heavily autonomous.

But if Mexican leaders wanted to get rid of unions, all they would have to do is enforce the law.

Guiliani did something similar when mayor of NY. He announced sweeping investigations into union corruption, then negotiated very favorable contracts while prosecution was hanging over union leaders heads, then called off the investigations when he got the terms he wanted.
That is quite discouraging. Thank you.

This is already in the works. Microsoft offers an Azure GPT4 service for business. They already offer a business version of CoPilot as well. I have not gone over the details but I imagine the usual business and support agreements will be in place for the business tiers.

Can you clear up specifically what about the second video you think is difficult to understand?

I saw an example of a conversation where the Snapchat 'My AI' was tricked into grooming a child, with the likely outcome being heavy regulation if left alone.

They recently dropped support, so it doesn't get updates anymore. But I could install DivestOS, it works great actually.

More than I can say about the old iPad I have here, that became essentially a paperweight. First and last shit I bought from Apple.
I agree with this. But the original statement is poorly phrased, that "He was right." He was perhaps more right than others who gave Trump lower odds. But there's not an absolute right/wrong (unless someone gave 100:0 odds).
It needs to be trained per individual. Maybe this can be done passively too. I guess it depends what you call as 'passive'.
What and expensive paperweight.
I don't get all the negativity unlike most humans LLM can be made to discard bad or incorrect data. Quickly transition to new ways of doing something. A human spending all their life in a room in front of the computer would not can not go through all the millions of scientific papers and journals. They would not look at unlimited amount of code or go through all the past and present law of every country . No human is capable of that.

We are entering into the real culmination of the information age where previously information was available but not exactly accessible or usable for a common person. Which like all tools will result in good and bad outcomes.
There are third party apps that will see right through your "secret stalking mode".

Basically, since apple doesn't give a damn about android users, they just unleashed airtags on the world with no way to be alerted you are being stalked if you only have android. Months later apple did release some half assed android app that doesn't do automatic scanning.

So android users need to use something like airguard and that just so happens to also snitch on tiles.
One of the wilder possibilities of the future of AI is discovering that we as humans have some form of collective anosognosia. The AI would just repeatedly and confidently assert things that we knew to be false, and we'd go to great lengths just to give the AI the same cognitive blinders we're wearing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anosognosia

Right now, the AI is operating "inside the bubble" of our thoughts and so is unlikely to figure out our collective blind spot, but once one can interact with the world in more meaningful ways, we should pay really close attention to the mistakes it makes.

I have posted another comment describing my idea v0.1
Ultimately you are just a system who maintains homeostasis by modeling your environment and reprojecting it to find patterns which can be used to make actions with predictable outcomes. Is this intelligence? Is there only one correct way to achieve this goal?

What do you believe intelligence to be?
I use an iPhone and have never felt like using Android would exclude me from anything socially. Nothing from the govt requires an iPhone, and plenty of my friends use Android. The NYC mayor was just doing a PSA.

What would exclude me is refusing to go on FB Messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram, etc. And it'd seem inconsistent to use those while rejecting the iPhone on principle.
That's the thing though! They announced one of the most critical part of the runners (the token auth) to be deprecated for months before the replacement was even available for teams to switch to. Very bizarre
JP Morgan is the biggest one. It can do ANYTHING it wants and get away with it.

It can make 10 billion USD spoofing gold prices for a decade and get away with a 1 billion USD fine (and keep doing it) for example.

The CEO can go on trips with Jeffrey Epstein, be friends with him and do business with him and get away with it.

It made tons of money off of the Madoff ponzi by providing Madoff with a bank account and not reporting the (from their perspective) extemely obvious ponzi that was going on for 15 years. Nobody went to jail and JP Morgan's fine was probably lower than what they made from the ponzi.

There are 100's of other examples of quite outrageous FTX-style crime. This is just what I happened to read about and remember. And that's only the publicly known stuff.

Let's turn it around: why would JP Morgan (and other big banks) NOT be engaged in extreme levels of crime that could be described as "financial terrorism"? If JP Morgan blows up it would be the end of the US and they know it and the US govt knows it. I repeat: they can get away with ANYTHING.

I think you will get your lulz.
Some midsize banks got a massive inflow of deposits during the pandemic and they didn't know what to do with the money, so they parked it in "safe" investments like mortgage backed securities.

Then when the pandemic subsided, people started burning down their savings accounts, and interest rates started skyrocketing. All the banks' money was tied up in all these 30-year mortgages that nobody wants anymore because they're paying like 2.5% and inflation is 8% now, but they're still forced to sell them for terrible prices just to keep their ATMs full. Eventually word gets out about what's happening, there's a bank run, and the bank starts death spiraling.

Massive banks have nothing to worry about because if the government allows them to fail they'll take the entire economy down with them. And (presumably) smaller banks weren't under the same pressure from investors to generate returns on idle capital, so they didn't commit the same sins as the midsize banks.
Oh, sliders for custom scoring is an amazing idea. And should be easy to add — I already have all the ChatGPT estimations for different parts of the score. Added to the TODO list.

The problem with deduping is that some news get posted and reposted by different sources for several days (sometimes even weeks) in a row. That's a huge context I'd have to put in AI.

1000 news titles * 3 days * 70 symbols per title = 210,000 symbols = 40000 words = 53000 tokens.
My current context window is 8000 tokens and I think 32000 tokens is max that GPT-4 allows.

Add: now that I think about it should be possible to do in several runs. Will keep thinking about it, thanks for the suggestion.
This is from high school Spanish and I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't think the Spanish past preterite vs past imperfect distinction exists in English grammer? You can of course do some things to capture them when translating to English, like sometimes use the "past progressive" in English to translate the past imperfect in Spanish -- but, then, Spanish also has a "past progressive" as a separate grammatical form too. And you probably wouldn't want to just always translate Spanish imperfect to English past progressive mechanically anyway, not for a good translation.

In general I don't believe it's true that every language has exactly the same tenses, I think they actually can vary.
Maybe I was wrong to focus on employer controlled vs real unions. That's certainly a problem, but as you point out it's not the only problem.

Here's the broader point I was trying to make: Mexico has a problem with corrupt unions. But US unions are trying to help Mexicans solve that problem, not abandoning cooperation with anyone in the country.

I'm not sure if the US teachers union specifically is involved. They'd have less incentive to be because you can't replace a US teacher with a Mexican one.
I have a similar history, although a year or two ago I switched back to FF for everything other than development - I still find their dev tools far slower and less helpful than Chrome/Edge. For general use though, FF has been just fine and it has container tabs, which is pretty much a killer feature for me.

OK, you're right, there are 56 elections, and what I meant by "no bearing" is, there has to be polling in most or all of the swing states. Furthermore, the swing states have weights. So it's a much more difficult problem than a single district, and a much noisier estimate since the per-state noise compounds.

I don't blame anyone for getting it wrong. It's a hard problem.
