> are you saying you don't want recommendations at all

Not from the platform itself. Not from an algorithm.

I want recommendations of channels to subscribe to from my friends. I want a world where things like consumer reports that do honest hard work succeed over SEO growth hackering. I want a world where the human judgement of people I trust decides who gets excluded, not easily gamed content moderation systems.
That's 1 + ω; and it's a pretty good demonstration of why 1 + ω = ω. We're talking about ω + 1.

Firefox mobile allows me to use uBlock Origin. That alone for me is worth more than any other browser features combined.

>slave labor

Can we not dilute the definition of "slave labor" here?

American consumers would give up their own labor standards before facing the ruinous economic consequences of a world where they could only consume goods made by laborers earning $15/hour with health insurance and OSHA oversight.
Your original argument was the government caps the number of doctors (not taxi drivers). I am not finding anything that would show this. There is a cap on the total amount the gov is subsidizing (should be increased, but that's a different topic).

If an individual is willing/able to pay for the cost of residency that the gov covers there's nothing to prevent one to do so. Of course, this is not a practical solution for most, but that's another story.

> nb my issue isn't whether the healthcare system is "socialist" or not, it's that it's bad.

Agree, no argument there

> I don't think "just make the government pay for everything" is a solution to things costing too much though

Of course not, but if the capitalistic / private market has failed, I'd rather try a more gov-focused approach (or something else) than let it fester and cause more and more pain.

> if an ambulance ride costs $9000 the solution is to make it not cost that, not to share paying for it.

Agree, but how do you do that when the "ambulance lobby" owns the politicians and media who then try to convince the population that this is "the best system in the world"? You can't find a better system when you already think you have the best one (not saying you do) or that the "other" system is worse because it starts with an "s".
What species are you comparing us to?
I run Qubes unless I'm doing something very performance-oriented like massively parallel workloads. So Firefox doesn't know about the builtin wifi card, which has no antenna connected, because I don't use it and it's just in the way anyway.

So yeah I have a wifi card, technically, but also technically don't from the point of view of firefox or any other program on my computer.

What? I'm struggling to find an analogy to help you understand what the projections actually mean, but also I'm asking "Do I care if this person is wrong on the internet?".

Maybe you need to compare it to a weather prediction. If you hear "30% chance of snow" where you're about to vacation, would you pack a winter jacket? What if it's 85%? If it's 0.5%? And if it's at 25-30% for months on end, that doesn't mean that "No chance it'll snow!".

It's not like a sports league where one person is behind for months and then suddenly wins it. Indeed what is the point of following the polls? For one thing people were probably addicted to the rollercoaster of "Oh shit my side's losing! " and then "Oh yeah my side's gaining!". At least for the campaigns themselves they should've been able to adjust their work in hopes of moving the needle (e.g. leaking stuff about the other side).
Risk is for sure a large component of profitability, I didn't mean to imply otherwise. But risk is not the only factor and credit scores often seem to track the total profitability curve better than the risk curve.

You can't block fingerprinting completely without breaking a ton of useful features. But the sandbox has a concept called the privacy budget which tries to determine if a site is collecting too much information. It should allow sites that actually use some of these features to continue to work.

The idea is that if sites that query fonts, engage canvas, read the user agent information, etc, they are likely trying to build a fingerprint, so the browser will start to return generic data.

Presumably - hopefully - it would allow users to set their own privacy budgets. Even better if it supports granular per-site control, which may be needed for certain specialized websites.

The default is your chats are their property to train on and use as they wish.

If you dig into the Settings you can disable sharing chats with OpenAI, but you lose access to just about every feature including saving chats. You can only have one chat at a time, and if the window is closed or refreshed your chat is wiped. it's kind of like if opening a "Private Browsing" window prevented you from having a regular browsing window open and also had no tabs.

For some reason, they still retain your chat for "up to 30 days" despite not letting you save or access it after the page is refreshed.
Because it is the default.
LLM failure modes are caused by the lack of external context - they perform poorly on visual tasks because they have no sense of vision for example. Hallucinations are another aspect of this - as embodied agents, humans and animals have a strong bias for counterfactual reasoning because it is needed to survive in a complex information-rich environment (if you believe in something that is false, you tend to get eaten)

The real solution to these problems is to train transformers on a more human-like information context rather than pure text. Hallucinations should naturally decrease as LLMs become more "agentic"
They compromise the user experience all the time to sell more hardware. Oh you want to use a non-Apple smartwatch? Well here's a subset of features of what the device actually supports. Use an Android phone? Well we can't be bothered to implement MTP like everyone else so go track down 3rd party app. No, you can't use Bluetooth file transfer but Airdrop works well on our devices, RCS?

I'm the CEO of Life360, Tile's parent company. I chimed in on another comment but adding to the conversation directly here. I'm biased, but I am surprised how little pushback this is getting as AirTags explicitly are NOT meant to deter theft - to combat stalking (which is exceedingly rare) Apple notifies you if a tag you do not own is near you. That goes for thieves - they will be told an AirTag is nearby.

At Tile we just launched an Anti-Theft feature where you can turn off stalking notifications if you share your government issued ID and agree to extremely stringent penalties for misuse, including a large fine.

All Life360 users are now scanning for Tile devices, and that equates to over 10% of all phones in the country, so our network in any moderately dense area is almost as good as Apple's. And, we are cross-platform.

How AI is revolutionizing video content translation and dubbing

I think reddit has nerfed pushshift.
Yet, still robbing me. This KL difference idea is absolutely interesting though, as I think the view I have is a normal and pretty conventional liberal view. Don't steal from people, don't extort, don't be a bandit, etc. I think compassionate distance is probably the only way to coexist with people who couldn't agree on those things, as to me it's really alien. Sort of interesting to view an idea from the ouside like that though.

We use an airtag to track our cat who we allow outdoors every day until an hour before sunset.

We initially used a Tile which I hated and would constantly try to get us to buy more tiles in their crappy app.

After 4 months of the air tag we're looking to switch back. The larger network is barely noticeable. Most of what the tags do is allow us to know when we're within X number of feet of our cat. The Tile had a better range and was lighter. But most importantly, we could have multiple accounts track the same Tile. Somehow Apple's airtags are missing this really critical feature that has come up again and again for us. If one of us is not home we need to be able to have another one of us be able to track her down but we simply cannot

I'm not a big fan of Tile as a company, but I'm sad to see AirTag's inevitable dominance rise. I would love to see an open-source solution to this problem. Especially if it can somehow hack into the Apple, Tile, etc networks. From what I've read the Apple AirTag network is actually quite insecure and can even be used to send arbitrary HTTP packets. Apple has a huge built-in advantage but also a ceiling that competitors don't have since Android phones can't tap into the network. A community-driven solution could be really effective, especially if it focused on a particular subcommunity like dogwalkers and outdoor cats
> most dangerous innovation in this regard is advances in brain scanning

What terrifies me more than the idea of brain scanning that works is the (IMO more likely) deployment of "brain scanning" that doesn't work (but is used anyway) and creating a 21st century witch hunt.

AI is very impressive, but people are getting so used to it performing magic that they believe it can do anything while preserving the veneer of objectivity that algorithms earned in the pre-ML days.

These workers are not slaves, they are free to work anywhere else.
If moderating posts on a computer really is worse than say working at a farm, or a a clothing factory, then the workers would leave.

They don't work in call centers of course. But the workers who currently work in call centers, can swoop in and compete for their jobs. I can tell you that plenty of people on HN, would rather deal with moderating awful content, than to talk to endless waves of people who can't read 3 step instructions. And I would prefer either compared to say diving in sewage.

If you don't think GPT-4 can replace offshore call centers very rapidly, then you need to talk to those companies that do employ them. Onshore call centers handle more complex stuff that is harder to outsource, offshore ones not so much.
Not really, both (ostensibly) involve hinging company direction on speculation about the fundamentally unpredictable progress of machine learning.

That isn't how I read it. To me it sounded like the issue was having to run a JavaScript web server. They might like JavaScript on the frontend.

Isometric js isn't all-or-nothing, but it sometimes feels that way with a fullstack js framework.
Correctness is actually a pretty bad evaluation because it reduces the outcome to a binary. There are better measures like a brier score that IIRC, they have pretty rigorously evaluated on their own predictions.
It's like WFH/in-office. Some people care and some don't, you're removing the ones who care.

Oh hey! You're the person who was telling me half a year ago that AI porn wouldn't be a thing [1, 2]. I'm wholly confident you're just as wrong about this, and I'd even put my money on it [3].

Here's my prediction:

- Stories, narratives, characters, and game loops will become generative. Their capacity to generate new unseen and unwritten content will be heralded as revolutionary.

- The quality of games and GenAI will soon reach that of Hollywood films and take on a cinematic feeling.

- Players or viewers will be able to actively participate in the unfolding world (games) or sit back and watch them unfold (movies). This will be a spectrum (and not just on a single dimension).

- Narrative instances will be passive, single player, multi player, and massively multiplayer. You can sit back and watch a world unfold with your friends, or each participate as your own individual character that is an immersive and key part of the world. Cooperatively or in competition with one another, and at every point within that that spectrum. This will be similar to D&D, but at a scale never before seen. Wholly engrossing.

- Just like we've seen inklings of with YouTube and TikTok, you'll be able to remix the narratives you construct and participate in. You'll be able to world build, tweak, and share. You'll be able to take off the shelf situations and narratives and customize them as much as you want. Your previous "play through" or "stage time" can be recorded as its own personality that can become an AI agent in someone else's journey.

- This world building scene will be full of creators, musicians, directors, actors, and lots of people that just want to experience and hang out.

- Just as before, I'll throw porn into this prediction too. GenAI porn will similarly replace the manually filmed artifact, and moreover, it'll be interactive. Some people will even fall in love with their artificial companion(s). As this becomes more normalized, these adult AI companions may even find themselves injected into otherwise family friendly narratives. What you do with them at home is your own business.

Before you say it's implausible, I know for a fact that 3d-guided diffusion works and that it'll soon spook the entire Hollywood industry to the core.

Each country can regulate any other aspect of their society. Like every other industry is. Welcome to the future, it looks like the past.

Realistically, nations will regulate. You’ll see companies run geo-located tech stacks, and make geo-specific products. Like every other industry.

Profits will be lower per user, since costs will be higher to reach the long-tail customers. Like every other industry.

OK, I read that.

It's telling that he uses MLB games, rather than Presidential elections, which are not covered at all in that article. Why?

There are many thousands of MLB games. There are a few thousand US House elections. There are only a handful of Presidential elections. It is not possible to measure their accuracy on those with any statistical rigor.
This seems like something that the language itself should provide, or not. I would not add a third party dependency to give me these functional programming features and then write a bunch of code tied to it.

All these concepts are great and I use them all the time... but just not in Python.

Every language has tradeoffs in terms of features, available libraries, existing codebases you need to work within, etc. Python has a tradeoff of not having these functional features.

I appreciate the huge amount of effort this must have been, but these types of projects don't usually work out or stick.
Just a note that apps are not responsible for that breadcrumb and have no control over it (if you are meaning the little one that lives in the status bar?). The OS adds that in cases where apps link out to other apps

> Is Reddit targeted to children? My assumption has always been that due to the nature of having intermingled NSFW content, lack of content filters, or literally any other control that Reddit was squarely aimed at older users.

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

> Is it my responsibility to determine that? The site hosts?

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

> What if one host has a different labeling system?

I 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. Browsers from commercial entities (i.e. Chrome and its variants, Safari, and Firefox) would be required to implement the filter settings, just as TVs must contain a v-chip.

> It's regulatory bloat that would exist solely because people who popped kids out don't want to actually parent.

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".

> I can't have the government force movie theaters to show edited versions of movies so they are kid appropriate. Some stuff just isn't for kids.

But we can force movie theaters to provide ratings of movies and require them to bar children from watching any pornographic films they show. Currently companies self-enforce with ratings, but that's because if they didn't, they were going to have it forced upon them. The problem here is that we don't have any kind of rating system for web content, and clearly tech companies aren't going to develop one on their own, so it's reasonable to make them develop one.

> Reddit, for the most part, does not provide content.

Of course they do. They don't make it, but they're the ones providing it, and they make plenty of money doing so.
