> But then the defense has to pay the cost of hiring an expert to prove it's not authentic.

The defense's first step is to say "that particular video is a deep fake", under penalty of perjury.

Musk's "well it could be" doesn't cut it.
That’s not the point though. The point is to have an answer when someone asks why the original thing didn’t get done.
As a non US citizen, I think this is perfectly justified. I am not convinced that democracy is a universally good form of government when there is little cultural acceptance and adaptation to it. American social media products are probably used as an instrument of propaganda by the US government, or at least have a great potential to be used as such. Foreign governments of any nature are justified in restricting their citizens’ access to social media for this reason.

PS: Open source tools which enable unrestricted communication between parties are a much more benign alternative, to centrally controlled foreign social media, IMO.
This feels like an idea that barely made sense before widespread charging and long-running batteries that makes no sense now. How much of a charge could you realistically get at highway speeds on a ~1 mile stretch of road? Would it even out-do a solar panel placed on the dashboard while you're parked at either end of a trip?

Now, inductive charging at parking lots might make sense. That could resolve a lot of the issues that are starting to crop up with charging stations that look a lot like gas pumps.
Actually, a witness who can vouch that the video depicts what they saw of a live event.
Isn't this backwards in criminal court? Wouldn't the onus be on the prosecution to prove that the video was real?

This sounds ridiculous since we lived most of our lives in the video-is-real era that has sort of been coming to an end. I recall the Kyle Rittenhouse trial had an interesting take on this where the defense asked to throw out upscaled video which contrary to every police procedural TV show is a lot like just fabricating data. With the amount of post processing and AI a cell phone camera does these days you could argue everything they pump out is doctored and fake by default because it kind of is. And most video is stored with lossy algorithms even without the post processing.

Never have gotten a good answer to this, “why is 64 bits not enough?” Here, why not an option?

It’s astronomically larger than 32, not double.

If the key is just the recording device, why not? Play a fake on some other device and record with your own.
in terms of search store and engine, would you agree that pgvector is sufficient for most text-specific cases?
Except tabs in makefiles only require ones to acknowledge 'makefiles use tabs and here are the rules'. It's otherwise only something for pedants to obsess over.

IPV4 address contention has a bit more real-world impact.
From my understanding, (good) lawyers will throw every possible defense at the wall (within reason) because one might stick, and if you don't do it at the beginning, you can't call a whoopsiedoodles and go back and try again. This is why they always begin with a petition that the venue is wrong and the court doesn't have jurisdiction, if they want to argue that.
Depends. Being billed by the hour is far from unheard of.
It is 100% not an issue. The human eye and ears can’t tell if some video or audio is fake, but you cannot hide from the machine. Deep technical analysis will easily reveal something is manufactured, as easily as it can tell an image is photoshopped.

And God help you if they discover you manufactured evidence. Manufacturing evidence raises the stakes considerably. It makes any crime instantly more heinous, proves you deliberately had bad intention. You might go in thinking you’ll win easily with manufacturerd evidence and come out with greater felonies and complete eradication of your reputation.

You think you might be so fucking smart using off the shelf components to make yourself a deep fake, rest assured there are always people smarter than you out there. Intellects vast and deep that will easily pierce through your lies and destroy you. Do not attempt to provoke them. They will relish in picking your remains apart.
I'm puzzled by the whole range. There are some that look just like a £10 digital watch but sell for £100. The difference seems to be the robustness but not that many jobs or hobbies put your watch in constant danger.
There was a time plantations existed for black people to work on them. Not arguing working at publicly traded companies is a “modern-day slavery”. But it’s not inconceivable to me that the nature or corporations(and society) can change over time. The workers can demand it.
Yes, but that was curtailed due to abuses during/against the civil rights movement. It started coming back with Waco & the Oklahoma City bombing and then roared back after 9/11.

> The definition you provided is "dangerously aggressive; marked by violence or ferocity". You can't just leave out key aspects of the definition to make it fit your narrative (and again, that's all your providing here is a narrative, no proof or evidence). How is anything you've noted "dangerous"? How is it "marked by violence or ferocity"?

As said in an earlier response, dangerous aggression comes in the form of the mentor-mentee power imbalance that uproots and fucks (again, in one case I personally knew of, literally) over students. Here are some sources - evidence in papers - to fit this definition [1,2,3,4,5], assuming mental distress counts as dangerous.

> ... the stakes can be as high as...

Yet very little of this trickles into broader societal impact - the stakes implied by the original quip. The institutional gatekeeping discussed in TFA is complicit in this lowering of stakes.

> To me, this really just gives the impression that you couldn't make it in academia.

Thanks for the ad hominem. I had the most first- and only-author publications in my group, which was enough for me to bow out.

I think so. The details a story of an Intel focusing it's resources instead of bumping it's stock price.
This isn't why this happens.

If you are an exec at MCD, your main focus is on making numbers. That is it. Your bonus is based on this, your options are based on beating expectations...nothing else matters.

What this means in practice is that companies look for ways to cut costs and fill gaps when a number comes in light (because you can cut costs immediately but growing revenue requires long-term investment). And, over time, you see significant deterioration in product from lots of decisions made to make a number in a quarter.

An even more interesting aspect of this problem is that these companies only ever cut back on things like product. FMCGs were doing this for years, and most companies in the sector were still horribly overstaffed.

You are right, this doesn't happen in industries where there is more competition. But this is not true for almost every consumer-facing product where there are limits to competition. Indeed, FMCGs have been reducing product quality for years but it has only been changing consumer tastes that has led to more innovation through new products/categories. In other wards, no-one tries to start a new mayonnaise company because Hellmann's began adding more oil...you try to get distribution into the large grocery stores, and they will laugh you out the door (but you turn up with a vegan mayonnaise, and they are interested).

Another example of this is Tesco in the UK. They are famous for producing executives which make a series of short-term decisions over a very long period that add up to a bad situation (and there is no new competition, Tesco over-index to locations that have no other supermarket chains...you would lose tens of billions trying to just get a foothold).
I think the tone of this article shifted quite a bit when it mentioned the context that CIA was trying to infiltrate Al Qaeda.

Before that point, it sounds like some kind of mkultra style conspiracy where they are actively malicious. After that point, it creates the impression that they were trying to do their job in good faith.
Paying for premium doesn't even do enough, IMO. I pay for premium and it's worth the cost to remove the barrage of ad bumpers from videos, but YouTube is still completely cluttered with promoted content. If I turn on my TV to YouTube I want to see just my recommendations - just my actual recommendations, not fake recommendations designed to trick me into consuming whatever Youtube wants. I have not once ever watched news coverage on YouTube yet it seems like any workday that happens to coincide with a national tragedy, YouTube wants to make that the front page of my TV when I sit down after work.
That’s not quite right. WebAuthn completely prevent cases where the user fails to authenticate the server, which is an extremely common attack. It does not protect against a compromise of the web PKI system, which is a rare and catastrophic scenario which no other alternative protects against but they do mitigate the damage somewhat in that using a public key rather than a shared secret prevents reuse and implementations are required to confirm user intention so I can’t spam logins to other sites or faster than you’re willing to tap a button.
there is no evidence that makes you guilty, it requires a judge or jury to find you so, versus the default state of innocence
Saying that it was not permitted doesn't mean that the information was not shared in some ways. After all, the whole purpose of CIA is to gather information by whatever means.
As a VW ID4 owner, I say "Good." My overall summary of the vehicle is that I absolutely love the part of it that is a car. I absolutely loathe the part of it that is a computer.

The infotainment system is the worst piece of consumer technology I've interacted with in easily a decade or more. It's truly bottom tier. It would be better off if the only function it had was connecting to CarPlay and that's it. Of course, connecting to my phone via Bluetooth also takes 5+ minutes, so that is also subpar.

But, it isn't only the infotainment that's an issue. The software that controls core functionality of the car is busted. Some examples:

* Unlocking the passenger/rear doors. When using the key fob, sometimes they unlock and sometimes they don't. There's no rhyme or reason to what's going on. The lock/unlock capacitive "button" on the driver's door is essentially non-functional. I usually just end up leaning over and opening the passenger door manually rather than trying to figure out how to unlock it.

* I've had situations where it seems like the windows operate as a boolean rather than a float. Meaning, I put the window down about 1/3 of the way. But, when I tried to put it back up it just wouldn't move up AT ALL until I put the window fully down, then I could roll it back up. Almost like the isOpen flag variable had not flipped value.

* Many times I've gotten into the car and it gives me all kinds of warnings about the electrical system erring out. The only way to fix it is to put the car in park and physically get out of the car, shut the door, wait 10 seconds, then get back in.

* The collision avoidance system will routinely slam on the brakes for no reason when entering/backing out of my garage.

* The seat position profiles are just a cluster. It doesn't even get the seat position remotely close to where I saved it previously and setting/adjusting it is unintuitive.
Remember when gmail first came out like almost 20 years ago? You had to get an invite! People loved it. It was a big deal - it made people actually love google. It wasn't just a search engine, it was this awesome company making awesome things and sharing them with you and it just made so much sense. Gmail was a billion times better than the alternatives (hotmail? yahoo mail?) and the competition just looked lazy and bad. The early 2000s was a wild time when the internet and computers got fast enough that it was unleashing all these pent up ideas that suddenly could actually work. But nowadays it's like nobody knows what to do next, so we just spin our wheels optimizing ads and making the world terrible with recommender systems.
A more realistic defense would be that Musk is a clown and all statements he makes are intended to incite laughter rather than be taken seriously.
It does change the 'point' considering they're reducing spending both in terms of workers and shareholder payouts. To not include, explicitly, that they reduced the dividends gives the reader the impression that the only thing to decrease here was money spent on wages, that workers bore the brunt of their financial problems.
No, it does not. It means you can't exclude it from being presented because it “might be” a deepfake.

The fact that something is presented as evidence doesn’t mandate the jury to accept the evidence as dispositive.
LLM's are not storing millions or billions lines of code, and neither do we. Both store something more general and abstract.

But I'm saying there's a big difference between a CS graduate and some current LLM that learns from "the CS curriculum". A CS graduate can ask questions, use google to learn about things outside of school, work on hobby projects, study existing code outside of what's shown in university, get compiler feedback when things go wrong, etc.

All a language model can do is read text and try to predict what comes next.
It's a very thin definition of the word "paradox".

It's like saying the concept of Spaghetti Carbonara is a Paradox because I don't like eating plain spaghetti, and I don't like eating Bechamel Sauce, but I DO like eating those two things combined. Paradox!
Then that's not agile.

The entire point of agile is that a PM can't do that. Large estimates force a PM to go back to stakeholders and revise the desired features to something that engineers have consensus that should be deliverable within the next sprint given their historical velocity.

If you're not doing that, then you're not even in any conversation about agile/scrum.
Useless? No. Possibly open to being faked? Yes.

Lots of ways to sign photos and videos today that should make them fully verifiable in the future (assuming public/private key cryptography remains secure). For stuff that isn't signed, it's not like good old detective work can't verify in a lot of cases. Phone records, eye witnesses, additional unpublished recordings, etc.

Also being verified really only matters when it comes to "truth" as defined by law. It's not like your family won't enjoy your videos of Christmas '23.
Circumspect?
> But I guess now it's time to start looking at different email providers.

Already moved to Proton personally, I was OK with Google G-Suite or whatever the hell it's called these days when it was free, because I was trading my data for a pretty good service, but then they wanted to slap a price tag on it simply because they could, and to me that was a clear signal it was time to get out.

I'm not paying for Google to monetise my data.

Protons spam filter isn't as good, the keyboard shortcuts are taking some getting used to (really wish they would implement a "Gmail-like keyboard shortcuts" option), and message search could be improved (I'm sure it will), but besides those I don't miss a thing, and knowing that my privacy is respected is by itself worth the price tag.
The title says “Casio Adds Fitness Features to Original G-Shock Digital Watch”.

They haven’t added features to the ‘original’ one at all. They’re releasing two _new_ G-Shock watches with more features, including some fitness features.
> But according to the work of my colleagues and me, the reality is that very few people are truly unskilled and unaware.

Very few still means enough to regularly find them on the internet. The Dunning-Kruger effect would not be as famous if it wasn't confirmed by real experiences.

Also there's more than "ability" that you can measure/grade like in this study - a frequent phenomenon are people who very confidently say incorrect things, which is more a lack of information or even intentional ignorance in an attempt to feel right. I think this is different from just estimating the score on a test.
I always scrub forward though the name of the studio etc, much less an elaborate intro.

That would make a ton of sense to me. It fits in with the USPS' existing mission, and would ensure a brick and mortar location citizens could prove their real physical identity to regain access to their online account.

It probably wouldn't help you escape email ads though, the USPS is heavily funded by bulk mail.

I don't agree that outright lying is tolerated, but one thing I was very disappointed to learn after independently learning about most of the informal logical fallacies is that lawyers do not avoid them. In fact, they use them to win cases.

This is tantamount to, but NOT equivalent to, "lying" in my book. Some of the most famous defenses in history, such as Cochran's "if it doesn't fit, you must acquit" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH-VuP_5cA4 were fundamentally, fallacious appeals in nature.

Hugely disappointing to me. Would love for a lawyer to chime in on this.

If I could come up with any defense of this practice at all, I'd say that if you took my reasoning to its logical extreme, then the persuasive personality of an attorney themselves could be considered a fallacy, and that would be an unreasonable expectation to satisfy the elimination of. You could also argue that if 2 opposing lawyers are both permitted to make fallacious appeals that wouldn't be called out by judges or jury, then in theory they'd mostly cancel each other out. Maybe.
To me, clickbait means something that is not backed up by the article. But here the headline seems like an accurate and reasonable representation of the person's views. It's sensationalist, but that comes from him.

You're gonna have to start citing something from folks joining bluesky saying that that's what they want, because inside the platform, no one is echoing that sentiment, nor does either bluesky or AT protocol websites suggest an approach where people are being blocked in that manner.

bluesky/AT protocol is pretty clear how they see moderation to work.

> Our approach to moderation is three-fold: automated filtering, manual admin actions, and community labeling

> Labels can be automatically or manually generated, and can be applied by any service or person in the network

> For example, an organization like the ACLU could create a “hate-speech” label, and services or users in the network could subscribe to their labels to flag, filter, mute, or ban content. The Bluesky reference app we’re building has custom controls that lets users hide, warn, or show content, and will add more controls over time. Through this approach, we aim to prioritize user safety while giving people more control and transparency over how moderation is done

https://blueskyweb.xyz/faq

Plus https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/4-13-2023-moderation

If people, after reading that (or ignoring that) still end up bluesky, we can kind of assume that they agree (explicitly or implicitly) with the approach.

> The Patriot Act was written with “sunset” provisions requiring Congress to re-authorize the program every few years. Although the Act expired in March, 2020 without being reauthorized, federal law enforcement agencies retain most of the authorities granted by the act. The surveillance infrastructure that the Patriot Act created exists to this day. The Patriot Act is a prominent example of the use of terrorism to justify expanding government surveillance.

Hi everybody, from time to time, there are some mentions about Scala on hn, there are many users who have shared their bad experiences when dealing with sbt a long time ago, while sbt is considerably better, we now have a simpler alternative, scala-cli.

Scala-cli has many similarities with Cargo (from Rust), in the sense that many of the commonly used tools are already packaged with it, like compile/format/package/etc.

Not only that, the startup time is fast, the CI runtime is impressive (~1m).

For people willing to try Scala (or give it another try), scala-cli is worth a shot.

Thanks.
Yes. Because React has documentation and in-house Lisp almost never does
That has not been my experience; I've brought up copyright a fair bit in conversations over the years (much to the chagrin of my friends, acquaintances and coworkers, I'm sure). I've literally never met anyone who thinks the great-grandchildren of an author should be financially compensated for their great-grandparents' work. That very scenario is usually the example I bring up -- the old "If I built and installed a plumbing fixture, should my great-grandkids be able to collect licence fees on its use?" analogy is persuasive. I do agree people generally think that an intellectual work created is rightfully the property of the creator -- but most don't extend that much past death.
