So far, I've seen nothing in these comments promoting Chrome, or Google more generally. They (Google and Microsoft) are both the tech equivalent of boogeyman, but this article focuses on specific anticompetitive behaviour from Microsoft. I think it's safe to generalize and say that nobody here thinks Google a saint.
That's only if you buy in some racist theory where you're only japanese based on your great great great great grandpa.
Combines a data lake optimized for deep learning (Deep Lake) and a vector database
I very loudly assume.
They did the same multiple times for Windows Mobile. They support iOS because iOS only ships for Apple devices, it isn't really a competitor in the OS space. But they are absolutely brutal towards any company which might offer a way out for OEMs from the Google prison.
They are allowing a Trojan horse application on their platform two of the main purposes of which are to convert paid MS Office users to paid Google Suite users, and to convert Windows users to ChromeOS users. I think Microsoft is being quite generous, patient, and tolerant, if anything (although to a large degree probably because they are required to act in this way by naive, ignorant, and/or Google-funded regulators).
Well, the reason we need to make them cost more is because the replacements are sub-par. If the replacement technologies were better, you wouldn't need to.

Regardless of this, how do we make billionaires use less fossil fuels?
Pulse Browser: Experimental Firefox fork that boosts focus and productivity
If your first step as PM of a browser that desperately needs to win back market share is to work on gnome-keyring, a feature only relevant on an operating system that less than 1% of people use your tenure is going to be very short-lived. This is engineering virtue-signaling, for lack of a better phrase.
That developer is mid level in title, but not in skill.
Downloading a movie is illegal, using a VPN to do it is not. If using a VPN was illegal then you would have two charges and extra time in prison. That's a giant difference.
Here in Colorado, I can get an ounce for under $50: https://cannabisdepotco.com/menu/pueblo?store_path=%2Fmenu%2...

That's what I used to pay for an eighth.
That’s kinda the point. Sugar is also "substantially" more expensive than "free" pornography. With your analogy of sugar, there isn’t the same asymmetry of risk/reward as there is with “free” pornography.

The reward of lotto tickets is a function of cost with the current approach, but that’s the wrong point to get wrapped around the axle. Consider instead that if the lotto reward is funded by taxes. The point is the risk/reward profile gets skewed.

As an aside, I’m pretty sure you can find evidence that excessive gambling is a net negative.
Agreed, what it came to the comments for.

Seems very questionable to not make a single claim about how GPT was “misused”. Without a claim, it seems like narrative.
Are fountain pens exclusively a right-handed pleasure? I've tried, and the smudging has been an insurmountable obstacle.

I would love to hear from some fellow lefties. I love pens, ink, and paper, but I feel cursed.
Yes, I read the article and the sentences which followed the first. I was referring you to the references below it.

See this comment about the difficulty of getting pornography addiction recognised in the DSM: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35790536

It's more of an issue of classifying it separately from other sexual disorders than recognising the addictive potential of pornography itself.

I myself have been addicted to pornography so I understand the reality of it intimately. I have been in groups with other men who are distraught with their lack of control. I have spoken to countless women whose relationships have been destroyed by this.

I can point you towards some large support groups online if you'd like to inform the men who are suffering that their issue is not scientifically recognised.

By the way, did you have anything to say about the other point I made? It wasn't clear which point the grandparent was finding questionable.
In the comments of the answer the author says they have a 4 and a 9 year old:

"Bill, despite your emphatic comments, I know for a fact that counting into the ordinals is something that children can easily learn. I have two young children (ages 4 and 9), who are happy to discuss ℵα
for small ordinals α---although my daughter's pronunciation sounds more like Olive0, Olive1---and my son can count up to small countably infinite ordinals. The pattern below ωω is not difficult to grasp. Below ω2, it is rather like counting to 100, since the numbers have the form ω⋅n+k, essentially two digits"
I use it just about any time I'm buying something on Amazon that isn't from a trusted brand's store.
I wold have problem with Lynx on OpenBSD, but Iridium on FreeBSD is quite ok, as long as I add obligatory ublock origin, umatrix and cookie autodelete extensions.
Android is back and forth on this. Some items just get a simple prompt, and others get "no you have to get forwarded to a built-in system page within the settings system and set the value there". Generally, things that an app is "unreasonable" to ask for (like background use of camera or mic, avoiding being cycled out when in background, or access to the filesystem) need to go through the full OS settings menu, while common things (active in-app use of GPS or Camera) get a simple pop-up prompt.

Which makes sense.
Yeah. Though the defenders of transfinite (ordinal and cardinal) numbers do in fact assert that there are many infinite numbers, such as aleph zero or omega. They are just usually somewhat embarrassed about this and therefore only talk about "ordinals" or "cardinals". It's like trying to hide that you drink beer by saying you merely drink lagers and ales.
You mean your leasing a Mac from Apple to use it in a manner consistent with and approved by them.
What law is that? Not the supreme law of the land aka the second amendment. The irony is right there, do you see it?
never buy a mortgage through an app. use a human broker or if you're rich enough, a bank salesman.

and for those of you who refuse to talk to people when spending multiple hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, well... this is what you get to deal with.
pSeries and iSeries were consolidated down to "IBM Power Systems" back in 2008. I think they may install different firmware onto the systems, but the differences are more related to licensing than anything specific to the hardware.
You are free to draw your own conclusions from the sources, but I simply did what you advised, using the exact same search phrase (albeit on duck duck go) and these were the results and these are my conclusions.

If you wanted me to see the per-capita increase in health care costs, and compare pre-Obamacare with post-Obamacare, perhaps you should have advised a different tactic—although, that would have bee a bit odd given your original point.

But if you want to argue Obamacare now, you are out of luck, you found somebody who is not a fan, and somebody who is personally out of health-insurance, somebody who lives in a community where lots of my neighbors are out of health-insurance, because Obamacare is simply too expensive and covers too little for people to want to opt for it. So you would be arguing with somebody that agrees with you. Perhaps a system which pays medical costs directly and universally insures all residents might actually be better than a system which subsidizes private health insurance companies.
So you're saying there is no religious zealotry in Europe?

What about the Christian Democratic Union of Germany which officially believes in Catholic Democracy and didn't recognize same-sex marriage until 2017?
I think that the usual rationale for taking a loan out to pay for something you can afford without a loan is that you can take the money you have and invest it in something that pays more than what the interest on the loan is.

It's a kind of arbitrage. If you're losing money overall, you're doing it wrong.
> why is for example Manhattan more expensive than Brooklyn? it's more dense, should be cheaper accordingly to the density makes cheaper logic.

It's more expensive because many more people want to live there than want to live in Brooklyn, outstripping the available housing to a greater degree. It's basic supply and demand.
Would it? Apple crippled iCloud image encryption for years at the request of federal LEAs.
Why would users want a server to know they're using their official crapware or an alternative/modded client that serves users better?

Surely the device should serve the interests of the user that pays for it, and not some random developer.
It shows labels in the regions, just not borders. I’m assuming this is because the exact borders are unknown. Try zooming in more to see the labels.
Learn to Love Ambiguity
Stupid question: was there no responsible disclosure and is there no cve assigned?
Seems like a rather practical attack (or am I missing something?

Do the researchers consider it a known fact that that fTPM is broken by design and thus do think that nobody will get hurt? It would make sense to require an additional passphrase on fTPM devices for bitlocker. Was there a statement from Microsoft or AMD?
How about, instead of doing the almost-impossible thing that is not necessary or logical (why should everyone else change in order to offset lost profits for a company that doesn't care about them?), do the easy thing that is practical and rational.

Or you can decry society for doing the easy thing, but remember that trying to shape outcomes when dealing with large numbers of people almost always leads to consequences that seem obvious in hindsight but were unpredictable at the onset.
Well, I'm blown away.

If this succeeds, it will allow you to use Python for the entire AI stack: high-level model composition (as usual), fast compiled CPU code (instead of, say, libs written with C++), and on-device operations (instead of, say, libs that use CUDA). Oh, and it will make your Python code parallel (i.e., there's no GIL).

Obviously, we'll have to wait until Mojo is production-ready, but I'm excited after seeing Jeremy Howard's easy-to-follow examples during the live keynote presentation. Jeremy, who sometimes hangs out on HN, must have been dying to tell the world about this for a long while.

Props to the Mojo team!
Counterpoint: I used it to learn by following the step by step explanations. With enough problems complete, I would know every pattern. That's not to say that GPT can't do that too.
It really doesn’t. They charge plenty of fees to plenty of customers. They also use daily banking as a loss-leader for profitable services like loans.

Chase collected $1.25 billion in overdraft fees alone last year. My “Chase College” account currently gets charged $6/month for some reason I haven’t bothered figuring out, maybe a newly instated minimum balance or direct deposit requirement that wasn’t there years ago.
i.e. state sanctioned or publicly accepted execution without trial.

No law on earth can physically prevent someone from acquiring a weapon and killing members of the LGBT community, the difference is whether this is tolerated and/or endorsed by the state and public, which it is not.

You provided a list of heinous crimes that in no way reflects the views of the United States government or the general public.

To make it even clearer, recent LGBT violence is not even remotely relatable to the widespread lynchings of Black Americans (which you are evoking with this word) that was 'illegal' yet systemically tolerated in the early-mid 1900s.

Literally none of these LGBT crimes were associated with a mob proclaiming justice as was the case with historical lynchings.
Perhaps in theory. But how hard are we-don't-build-housing employers currently lobbying in favor more housing for their workers? And how many orders of magnitude would employers providing housing have to grow by, before any cutbacks in that lobbying could have a meaningful effect?
Is there a similar approach to this for web applications UI/UX?
Thor's Law:

As the length of a thread about software design increases, the probability of someone mentioning a "general-purpose tool-building factory factory factory" approaches one.

Including the act of quoting Thor's Law.

> In the context of transfinite ordinals

I don't really find that transfinite ordinals match my childlike intuitive concept of infinity. Transfinite cardinals match better.
Thank you so much for posting this summary! This honestly seems like a great balance for everyone involved.
They just added the opt-out last week. I think they removed restrictions on using the output as well, but I haven’t gone back to look for details.
Well you now have JP Morgan Chase with almost 2.5 TRILLION dollars in deposits, and the current regulators have essentially punted on this issue to the next administration. If they have a liquidity crisis the western world will essentially end.
Laws against murder haven't stopped murder, so I guess those laws are useless.

Gun control laws? Japan's ex-PM got blown away by a wacko with a homemade shotgun, so I guess gun control laws just don't work. Nevermind the rate of gun violence in Japan.. it's all or nothing.
Infinity is the twin of zero ∞ | ∅ .
An unlocked bootloader disables verified Boot, which makes your phone vulnerable to rollback attacks.

In doing so, it also disables integrity checks, thus making persistence (even without rollback) a lot easier for a potential attacker.

So your phone becomes a lot more vulnerable to all kinds of attacks, not just physical ones.

“We Have 30 Extra Years”: A New Way of Thinking About Aging
EV Market Share in the U.S. Jumps to 7.2% of Total Sales in Q1
Anyone else find the the whole topic as presented by the likes of greenmarketreport.com just disheartening? I partake infrequently - like twice a year. It's a special, spiritual thing for me. Imagine if a for-profit company could tell you when you could go to church and how much it would cost? This is what's happened with business interest controlling the regulatory environment.

Imagine if parsley, basil, and thyme were controlled by commercial interests and regulator regimes.
I’m the opposite I can’t even recognize my own sexual organ much less of past and previous partners.

I thought that was normal and not so much a notable condition.

I think I also wouldn’t notice elbows and other body parts.

Based on your comment, now Im feeling self-conscious like I should be able to remember all the specific dicks.
I have little fear about AI generating propaganda. It's cheap to write a crappy article and fake a photo or two - or choose a real photo but twist the story around the photo.

What I worry about is "artificial / generated consent". You read some upsetting story, and your skeptical brain holds it at arms length. Then you read commentary in a forum you trust and you see message after message of thoughtfully worded support for some position. I think reading gobs of "informed real people" commentary is far more persuasive - and subtly so - than reading an article from someone you KNOW is pushing a specific perspective.

I like to believe I'm an independent thinker, but a big part of my process is to seek out many different points of view and judging which feel well supported and well reasoned. Consensus DOES play a role in my judgement forming. If consensus is easily faked, yikes.
When you say "spots", are you referring to locations in your body (joints) where you are experiencing inflammation and swelling?

How much fish oil are you taking? I think the normal dose is a tablespoon, how much did you have to increase the dose?

Have you tried Cod Liver oil instead?

Are you taking any other vitamins regularly?
You don’t eat the whole brownie or vape the whole bud at once. The shop keeper will tell you what you are getting as well, including dosage advice for your level.

You FEEL getting high and when you had enough. If you get too high, you stop. There is no overdose.

I am sure no normal people drink vodka just like beer, thinking they are both similarly alcoholic drinks. Not even accidentally. Of course, if you want to abuse, you can. In both cases. But that is your conscious choice.
How we built Network Analytics v2
Specification: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-detecting-unwanted-lo...

Standard protocol built around Bluetooth-LE (with half the payload 36-byte payload available for vendor-data). Expose a non-masked public Bluetooth presence. Devices are supposed to track whether they are near the owner's home or other devices, "near-owner" mode vs "separated mode". Rotation policy of 15-minute address rotation when in "near-owner" state and 24 hours when in "separated" mode.

Physical requirements: minimum physical size for devices. Standards for movement detection (but not required to implement I think). Required noise-making, recommended haptic/buzzing and visual/light-making finding options. Serial number has to be printed on device.

A pairing registry maintained by vendors. Device serial numbers are tracked by vendors, with owner information stored there. Mandatory ability for non-owners to tell the device to play a sound when in separated mode. Disablement instructions. Mandatory ability for non-owners to push a button & have the device report a serial number. NFC says the supposed close proximity MAY be enough to get serial number without a button.
In my opinion, this is one of the most secure options.
Pass is a short bash script (very little code). It passes the encryption to a dedicated utility GnuPG (out of which only the AES and cv25519 routines are used).
You should use smart card to store the GPG key. Every touch of the security key gives out only one password. So if you copy the HN password, other passwords such as your bank password is not at risk.
The missing part is integration with browsers, which increases the attack surface (although it’s minimal here, since only one password is at stake), but protects against phishing.
Pass probably doesn’t need an audit, since you can just read the script.

There is also Gopass hiding metadata, and Passage that uses another encryption utility called Age written in Go.
LLMs make mistakes quite often. It is unreasonable to expect that it stops making mistakes just because suicide is mentioned.

LLM is a tool. There are many tasks it is good at and even more tasks where it sucks e.g., GPT-4 can fail on trivial chess questions.

Avoid permanent solutions to temporary problems.
I agree. But if you aren't going to be a helicopter parent there needs to be some safety valves for when kids go too far off the rails.

Calling a parent shitty because their kid does something they would prefer they didn't means we've all had shitty parents. Kids are individuals that gain preferences the minute they gain any sort of mobility and trying to reign everything in will backfire.

I don't have strong opinions on this particular topic. I don't think porn is quite so damaging as others to the point where society needs to protect them. But the rational response to the views you expressed seems to contradict your actual views on the subject of how parents should raise their kids.
This is just using the AI hype as cover to not get slammed by the markets. If they came out and said "We are pausing hiring..." the markets would rightly be like "Man they are screwed..."

Expect to see more of this from zombie companies in the future, as long as they spend $20/mo on a ChatGPT subscription somewhere they are probably not violating SEC disclosures either.
I’ve said many times that facial recognition inherits the moral issues of policing. Maybe I should generalize. Technology inherits the morality of whatever it empowers.
I've long suggested that the idea of a singular policing arm is, itself, inherently problematic.

Separation of powers is the key to a functioning government, and should be for the policing arm of the executive. Peace officers should obviously be tasked with the day-to-day of the policing.

However, enforcement of policing rules (within the executive branch) should come from a separate meta-police force based in the judicial branch, confirmed (and impeached/removed) by the legislative branch. This meta-police force would have full policing powers, but their jurisdiction would only extend to peace officers and members of the policing or district attorney's hierarchy.

Basically, you could rob a bank in front of these meta-police, and they could do nothing, but they could fully investigate a police officer accused of intentionally obscuring their plates, or unequally enforcing the law against folks with police benevolent society cards.

The idea that the executive branch, alone, can act, to me, is crazy. The Judicial branch is supposed to care about justice. They should have a limited arm to act much like the legislative branch has a limited arm to enforce subpoenas without the executive.
Roughly 1/3rd of the House and Senate of Utah are BYU grads [1], and BYU is not the only religious Mormon university in Utah, just the largest.

Utah was literally founded as a state to be a place for Mormons[2], because they were a persecuted religious minority in other states. I grew up in Missouri, and part of Missouri state history is that of the 1838 Mormon War[3]. At one point the Governor of Missouri signed an order that paid out for the scalps of Mormons[4]. The aftermath was a mass migration of Mormons from Missouri to what became Utah, literally founded as a place for Mormons, to this day Mormons consider Independence, Missouri as a holy site, but Utah is the headquarters of the LDS Church and the predominant residence of Mormons in the US.

It is for all intents and purposes a theocratic state within the US.

Software for people who don't care about software! Personally I think if you don't care about something it will be bad.

This is great for small companies and startups - if the bigger ones did things properly how could anyone compete?
It kind of boggles my mind that there are people who arent using LLMs yet.

Sure its not everyone, but the people who arent using them are signaling a major red flag IMO.

They are resistant to change, even if they don't understand the technology, what else are they resisting from their managers/leadership team? Further, I think of the people in my life who have refused to even try it, they all seem to have a screw or two loose, even if they are making 200k/yr successful.

All IMO of course, but in tech, I imagine something needs to be 'off' to never try it.

EDIT: Seems I'm getting criticism from people who are using it for inappropriate use cases. I don't use a screwdriver to hammer nails.
and they're not even making that fractional interest after they pay fees and buy addons.
Money is a helluva drug
Need legislation to limit and control what data goes into LLMs. People need to be paid or at least always have a choice when it comes to being input for training data.
Walked by a chase branch, they had some advertisement for a 4% cd.

So Apparently the big banks are starting to feel the account drain.

Also brokered cds from the likes of Wells Fargo and similar can be 5%.

Big banks definitely are starting to feel it
Indeed, there are several dispensaries nearby to where I live in St. Louis, Missouri — they either opened since legalization or can now sell to recreational users instead of only to those with a medical prescription. Whenever I've passed by, the lines are out the door and down the sidewalk, especially on the weekends.
