It's about time to start calling it an addiction. I've seen people that can't walk down a street and look where they are going, because their head is glued to the smartphone. Some people can't even focus on a conversation, because they are constantly checking on their smartphone every other second.

Smartphones are great, but as the old saying goes, "moderation is best in all things". Kids/students do have to learn control, discipline, and focus. Otherwise it is very likely to have a negative outcome.
This is something Google has been quite explicit and vocal about.

A traumatic experience for sure. One might almost think that after such an experience, you'd overreact at the slightest hint of anything like that ever happening again.

You are being hysterical.

Adobe sent this:

In a realm of words, where AI's antics unfold,
There exists a magazine called Total Crap, I'm told.
Its pages bear AI-generated prose,
A cacophony of gibberish that nobody chose.

Total Crap magazine, a nonsensical sight,
Where algorithms dance, devoid of true insight.
In twisted verses, logic takes its bow,
Leaving readers bewildered, wondering how.
I've never heard or seen a single reason that explains why hydrogen is a viable direction to go in. Maybe for limited routes for trucks. But those don't need a wide public network of fueling stations.
Please find one example of roads being replaced by pedestrian paths? LTNs put a block at one point in the road, so people who live there can drive from whichever side of the block they live on if they're moving house (or even if they want to use their car for any reason!) They're Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, not Zero traffic.

The block is to prevent people using the small residential street as a through-path for motorists from other areas, not to prevent any vehicle from ever using the roads.

"Road traffic crashes are a leading cause of death in the United States for people ages 1–54"[0]

I wonder if you speeding in your car increased the likely hood of death for someone more than collecting your son from a rumored school shooting. Not saying you were wrong to do that, obviously this is something that comes to the front of your mind when something is wrong at a school. The disconnect between risks we find acceptable, and those we don't is interesting though.

good news is most older versions of photoshop are at parity with the latest versions of Gimp.

> Location History: Location History is a Google account setting that is off by default, and for those that turn it on, we provide simple controls like auto-delete so users can easily delete parts, or all, of their data at any time. Some of the places people visit — including medical facilities like counseling centers, domestic violence shelters, abortion clinics, fertility centers, addiction treatment facilities, weight loss clinics, cosmetic surgery clinics, and others — can be particularly personal. Today, we’re announcing that if our systems identify that someone has visited one of these places, we will delete these entries from Location History soon after they visit. This change will take effect in the coming weeks.

This seems to be pretty clearly what was happening, as described by the author of the article. *If* the systems detected an abortion clinic visit, it was deleted. No further guarantees were made in the blog post. The same post provides links to documentation on managing your location settings and history, so the user can adjust if they are unhappy with Google's behavior.
I can't figure out how you intend this comment to be understood.

It seems like you're insulting the victims, but you're also proposing a very reasonable (IMHO) law.
Former teacher. There is no reason. Parents can always get in touch with students via the office if there's a legitimate need. That never stopped parents from calling and texting their kids during class time of course.
Why Conscious AI Is a Bad, Bad Idea
This is a 2019 article. It says they can possibly get sued by third parties, which was conveniently omitted from the headline. Dolby is the third party.

> Please be aware that should you continue to use the discontinued version(s), you may be at risk of potential claims of infringement by third parties.

I don’t know if this ever happened and I really don’t know why someone submitted it to HN 4 years later
>why are some people so absolutely obsessed with the idea that the words we use to describe things have such mystical and overwhelming power?

Because it does.

Politicians and marketers all dress up their words.

If it didn't we wouldnt have marketing departments or speech writers. Are you denying word choice doesnt matter at all?

Garden is clearly a happier, more inviting, prettier, and nicer place to be than an ecosystem. A garden is in your backyard at home, full of healthy fruits and pretty flowers. Ecosystem? Could be a petri disk of bacteria or the entire earth. Heck, you can google/chatgpt the definition of these two and find out which has a more positive perception.

We are animals at our core, garden drives warm emotion, ecosystem doesnt.
Fossil record demonstrates evolution at most. Even then there are plenty of large gaps.

Fossils don’t tell us about speciation, as that’s a concern of reproductive capabilities not physical features. They certainly don’t tell us anything about the selection process being “natural”. (aliens from Tralfamadore coming over in hovercraft to explicitly select for the features they want would leave the same fossil record)
Yes, there is something you can do better, remove the dumb pixelation effect, you're seriously making us sit and wait for 7 seconds to see the videos
There are privacy "promises" and then there are privacy laws like CCPA in California which companies are supposed to comply with. CCPA requires data brokers and large tech companies to maintain at least two channels by which users (including users who have no account / nothing to do with the company) can submit basic privacy requests like right to know and right to delete.

I searched for a couple hours last week and couldn't find a single way to submit a CCPA request to Google.

If anyone has the links, I'd love to be proven wrong here, but the sense I came away with is that Google is somewhat hostile towards real, accessible user privacy.
And the funny thing is they indeed sell anything from the offices that's not bolted on couple of months ago.
Yeah, I thought so (that it was internally developed), because someone commented that it's not open sourced.

I was just posting to say Microsoft have (had?) a perfectly nice search engine many years ago. Either GitHub folks didn't want to use it, it's not good (I think it was good, but maybe it's not suitable, or maybe it isn't maintained anymore shrug) or Microsoft butchered it too much over the years.

It may be saying that, but, historically, Adobe says a lot of things. I cannot imagine that Dolby would risk actually taking their users to court on this basis.
So many “I don’t get it” comments in this thread. And complaints about the subscription pricing. The market for this seems pretty obvious - teenagers. iPad seems like the default computer for kids these days and kids like to create. When I was a teenager I had to build my own PC, struggle to pirate Cubase and some plugins and it was a nightmare. When I finally got a MacBook Logic being $200 was out of reach still. A subscription makes it affordable for the people who are going to use it on a tablet. The same thought applies for teenagers trying to make YouTube videos. Now they can legally and easily use the professional tools on hardware they already own.
And using WebKit or WebEngine, rather than a novel engine.
This is a good article about historiography, and makes a good point about climate, but the examples provided it mixes up weather and climate.

This is unfortunate not only because that kind of mixup is a pervasive problem that screws up public discussion of climate change (and is a mistake a newspaper should not tolerate).

But it’s also foolish for an article like this because historians of Europe have long written about the impact of the medieval warming period and the so-called “little ice age” that followed. They would have been more useful for this article.
https://devdocs.io/offline can also download 600 documentation sets into the browser. I don't know how reliable it is over several months "Note: your browser may delete DevDocs's offline data if your computer is running low on disk space and you haven't used the app in a while."
I have had location history turned off for 3 years and it works fine for me.

I always type in my home address,
In fact it never remembers anything and I love that.

I'm glad Google gave me the option to turn it off and still use their product for free.
It's saying it may violate third party copyrights. Check your license agreement if you have any concerns.
The primary purpose of Google Maps is navigation (including e.g. traffic detection)? You need location services on for navigation obviously but I don't see why the location history setting is a requisite functionality. I use Maps all the time but not location history.

The problem with using AI for this kind of thing is it might not have context on what the verses for any scripture are being spoken in. For example in the Gita, Krishna did not actually condone war for years, he wanted peace through dialogue, including asking for 5 villages instead of a kingdom. But this was last resort. However AI could take a verse out of context.
It sounds you haven’t used anything past Photoshop 7 then, which I must remind you came out in 2002. First thing that comes to mind is content-aware fill, which came out 8 years later in CS5, if I remember correctly.
All roads of AI are converging on the end of privacy. A free society does not exist in the absence of privacy.

When you lose privacy you lose ownership over your own thoughts. You lose agency over the direction of your own life.

Humanity suffers by either scenario, either by our own agency in control of power we are not prepared to manage or we will be managed by power that we can not control.

Many have their focus looking forward to the unknown concerns of AGI; however, these other issues are already nearly imminent and are far less present in discourse around AI.

The impacts on socialization and society in general from AI performing exactly as we have requested it may be one of the greatest threats. I've written quite a bit on that aspect, FYI - https://dakara.substack.com/p/artificial-intelligence-ai-end...
There's also an entire industry behind climate sensationalism telling people we're all going to be wiped off the planet in the next couple decades. I would argue it's bigger and more powerful than any climate "denialism" industry that exists.

Climate sensationalists have full government and media backing, they scare-mongered an entire generation into thinking they'll be dead or living in some apocalyptic wasteland in the near future. They're using children to push their message.

Climate change exists but its effects have been over-hyped and sensationalized for various reasons.
As much as people are going to fight it, UBI is pretty much the only way to maintain a somewhat functioning society when every low-wage job has disappeared. The people that were doing those jobs before haven't gone anywhere. And there will likely be even more of them. But now any opportunity for work that they had before is no longer available.

What exactly are you losing by turning off location history?

You can still look up places, get navigation and as far as I am aware literally every other features of Google maps except your timeline.
Some enterprising individual should figure up how many highway miles driven with a kid in the car it takes to exceed the annual risk from school shootings. I bet it's not many, but nobody thinks a thing of driving their kids around.

Do it! Get your amateur radio licence, and get into the hobby!

You don't even need particularly expensive kit, either. My "laptop bag" 2m rig for a long time was a very old Icom IC2E that I paid two quid for in a junk sale, a 9V adaptor from a broken ADSL modem, and a homebrew "twinlead J-pole" antenna that I clipped to the window frame with a clothes peg.

It worked. Wasn't great, but for a total outlay of £2.50 on a radio and a couple metres of "twinlead" FM radio aerial ribbon, and a couple of junkbox parts (PSU and BNC cable) it was quite effective.

The guy you're talking to might have the latest SDR-based DSP wunderkind and a massive SteppIR antenna on a 50 metre tower, but if he can hear you and you can hear him then whatever radio you've got is working pretty okay.

They are using Github for hosting, visibility and ease of contribution. A lot of projects would never have been picked up if they were hosted on other platforms.
That would imply only those that have political expertise may speak on politics. At which point would one then be allowed to speak on AI?

I think the author (Naomi Klein) was speaking on the societal aspects of AI, inparticular those that we are already experiencing. She also questions whether those driving the AI revolution truly what to make the world a better place or just a quick buck.

Also a true AGI will threaten all jobs, by definition. So we can all feel a little apprehensive over the upcoming developments in AI.
Google should never have said they would implement this feature. It was a mistake because they can't and don't want to do it properly enough to be useful.
Of course but they're not going to assume liability of it.
Maybe confusing 'Climate Change' with 'local environment'. Think all cases in the book deal with how humans impacted the 'local environment' and changed it to a degree that could not be sustained. Not that they caused a global change, or that a global change impacted them.
That sounds less like "bad news" and more like "other good news".
Way to jump to unjustified conclusions. The name also doesn’t contain either sound.

Pets can't be vulnerable? Trees can't be vulnerable? Buildings can't be vulnerable?

Perhaps the baby is extra vulnerable exactly because it isn't a person yet capable of defending itself. It will become one though, unless someone murders it out of selfish convenience.

No. There is enough apps what I start, use and close. Why it should check the update every time it starts?

Is Google Maps always listening?
I was driving friends home from an event a couple days ago, and was navigating with Google Maps on an iPhone 7.

We were discussing a future trip to a local attraction with a unique name.

Without any action on our part, Google Maps popped up a green UI element with a timer button that I’ve never seen before. It prompted us to add a stop at the attraction we were discussing.

How the hell did this happen? I can only think of:

1- Microphone input was enabled. However, the phone was not touched since the start of the trip 30 minutes before. Was it listening the whole time? The attraction is one of the ones that shows a map ad no matter what you search for, so maybe they get special treatment?

2- One of the passengers had a Google Pixel of some sort. Maybe we accidentally triggered that phone and it coordinated GPS signals to show the prompt to the driver?

Regardless of how it was done, this was unsettling. It felt very invasive and I don’t trust this app any longer.
Stunning how scientists who work on this stuff delude themselves into thinking it'll do more good than harm.
This is why I like the JetBrains approach: you're entitled to a permanent license of an older version based on how long you've paid (presumably it matches up with the cost in a non-subscription model)

I don't hate subscriptions; it's great approach from a cash-flow perspective. (I remember when a Photoshop license meant shelling out $700). However under that model no one kept paying year after year unless they wanted new features.
True, I didn’t mean to imply that there wasn’t and I thought I’d alluded to that by mentioning the other recording apps on the iPhone.

However I’m a Logic Pro user. Cubase is great but it just never clicked with me as much as Logic did. I’ve gone through a majority of the DAWs on macOS but Logic Pro and Live were the only ones that really stuck for me.

Obviously purely subjective. I edited my comment above to reflect my DAW preference factors in.

I think it's just a result of society insisting that their entire lives revolve around a phone due to convenience. Kids these days (I feel old saying that at age 33!) now are raised by parents who were around for the first wave of everyone having a phone, except those parents' phones up until college or later were dumb phones that could call, text, and take pictures (and play snake!). Thus, their well-intentioned move to give their kids a phone is self-defeating and will only hurt in the long run.

I went to a public school and don't really remember at any level of classes where my classmates were outright addicted to their phones - some would occasionally text or take pictures or whatever, but perhaps that was due to the limitations of what the device could do.

I do understand that modern problems need to be addressed with modern solutions, and smartphones, in a vacuum, aren't a bad thing - they open up a lot of avenues of education that were simply not possible when I was growing up....and I'm all for that, I think its better to prepare kids for the world of tomorrow rather than the world of yesterday. However, there needs to be a limit to how intertwined technology becomes with modern educational practices.

I dread the US becoming like China, where people's lives revolve around a smartphone from a very early age. Sadly, we might have missed that boat already.
It works for male first names too. And last names too.
I would be shocked if Google didn't have highly accurate location information of sensitive places like abortion clinics. It also has highly accurate location information either directly from your device or through other lookups.

It's highly unlikely they lack the capability to /dev/null this location history.

I wonder if Google allow people to run advertising campaigns targeting people in abortion clinic waiting rooms?
