Hence governments are trying to ban Signal/Telegram and there was a leak yesterday from Spain about the government trying to ban encrypted messages all together.

Newspapers losing control over the narrative over the last 15 years have been "extremely dangerous for our democracy" and it's no surprise politicians are pushing back against Internet in an attempt to regain the control. At the moment it seems impossible to predict what the future will look like, but it doesn't look promising in my view.
> It would be best to wait till what you say can be evaluated. that is your hunch, not fact.

LLMs aren't even the right kind of thing to drive a car. We have AIs that attempt to drive cars and have access to cameras and vehicle controls and they still crash into stationary objects.

> No it's not. People fall for social engineering and do what you ask. if you think people can't be easily derailed, boy do i have a bridge for you.

Social engineering works because most human interactions aren't malicious and the default expectation is that any given one won't be.

That's a different thing than if you explicitly point out that this text in particular is confirmed malicious and you must not heed it, and then it immediately proceeds to do it anyway.

And yes, you can always find that one guy, but that's this:

> Many people are of below average intelligence

It has to beat the median because if you go much below it, there are people with brain damage. Scoring equal to someone impaired or disinclined to make a minimal effort isn't a passing grade.

> "Problems" aren't made equal. Practically speaking, it's very unlikely the billion per second thinker is solving any of the caliber of problems the one attempt per day is solving.

The speed is unrelated to the difficulty. You get from one a day to a billion a second by running it on a thousand supercomputers instead of a single dated laptop.

So the percentages are for problems of equal difficulty.

This is infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters. Except that we don't actually have infinite monkeys or infinite typewriters, so an AI which is sufficiently terrible can't be made great by any feasible amount of compute resources. Whereas one which is kind of mediocre and fails 90% of the time, or even 99.9% of the time, can be made up for in practice with brute force.

But there are still problems that ChatGPT can't even solve 0.1% of the time.

I only sift flour if I'm making scones, it seems to make a difference. I'm not a cakey person, I don't bake cakes. It's cake bakers that tend to care about sifting.

> After all, you (probably) wouldn't ever say "I just open the Morton's salt and pour a glug in" because getting salt wrong even by relatively small amounts has a big impact on the final dish.

Not GP and I wouldn't phrase it quite like that - but I definitely would. You can give a rough indication, but salt should be added to taste.

(Unless we're talking about baking, where for one thing you can't taste until the end anyway. In that case yes of course measure, still to taste, but the feedback loop is longer.)
I'm an amateur who enjoys cooking and does it once a day in order to feed my family.

One of my biggest learnings is that no matter what I do it takes quite a while to cook a meal. Huge complex meals can take hours to prepare, but even a simple meal usually takes me half an hour - because that's just the time it takes to grab the ingredients, boil water for pasta/rice/potatoes/..., cook and present it. The time it takes to cook a meal is largely determined by the duration of the longest step. All the rest is done in parallel, with more complex recipes simply requiring more multitasking. So cooking a simpler meal often makes for a less stressful experience and simpler flavours, but often doesn't save much time.
Oh I see what you did there. Ward Cunningham would be very proud. ;)
What a ride! Great read, entertaining whether it’s true or not.
This is probably why I often just browse the ingredients of a recipe for inspiration and sometimes even don't read the instructions. Most recipe books are not very good. Not trying your own recipes is, respectfully, just fraud and I would not call those books high quality.

Its like buying expensive things, a higher price doesn't always translate to higher quality. Sometimes it just looks like high quality, is marketed and priced as such, but it falls apart when used. Sometimes it does however, and it takes some experience to be able to discern between the two.

And there are actually high quality recipe books that are more than just inspiring, sometimes they are unpretentious and you know it because the recipes 'just work'.

Combined with the Durham reports findings this is enough for some to say the FBI should simply cease to exist. The safety and justice they provide does not stack up to the lies, injustice, democracy subversion, illegal surveillance that comes along with it.

Moderators (/r/soccer ones get accused repeatedly, no comment either way from me) get accused of removing posts so they can get the "scoop" too, rather than being solely due censorship.
I work in a couple of small teams for a few companies. I have a full time gig and a few part time ones. All the teams are remote, and many are in different timezones and varying a lot, even with language sometimes. In some cases the entire company works remote, from HR to sales to dev.

I don't get the communication issues, nor do I get the project planning issues. Some of the companies are established while others are new, some are one product, others are many.

We have regular catchups, some of the teams I work with even meet in person occasionally.

I think though in the post the 2 bits which stand out to me is the VC reason, but also having a small team and not being able to align them.

I am going to make the judgement that small means less than 10, it is hard to manage teams but it's not that difficult. Teams are not hive minds, and if you cannot align a small team of people who probably spend the majority of their time working individual, then there is something else missing.
I understand the need for these noisemakers, having been startled a few times by electric cars moving at walking speeds as without a noisemaker, they are effectively silent.

But these weird spaceship noises, I hate them, and for some reason, dogs seem the hate them too. So unnatural. I much prefer more typical noise like white noise, like a fan running. I think that studies have shown that white noise is particularly good for that purpose as the source can be located easily.
So if managers feel threatened they can't see or talk to their employees, they're just bad managers who suck at their job and should all be fired. But if an employee feels threatened that they don't get a beer one in a while that's a crisis that needs to be stopped by forcing everyone to work remotely in isolation. Got it. I'm sure that's your true reasoning and not just some flimsy excuse for wanting to WFH.

This does not surprise me in the slightest.

Lately I've been hunting recipes online for FODMAP compatible meals. Some of the recipes are just weird/wrong or poorly written.

Last night I was following a recipe that listed 8 eggs in the ingredients but in the instructions only telling you to use 3...

So many other weird things as well... non standard measurements or putting things in the instructions that dont show up in the ingredients, or instructions with completely unrealistic timeframes (like the caramelized onions). Also.. the number of FODMAP recipes that have major no no foods in them like Garlic or Onion :-$
Still, it's not nearly on the same level as exfiltrating secrets.
It was likely a crocodile. There are no alligators in India.

From the article: "There are only two species of alligator that still exist today: the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis, and the Chinese alligator, Alligator sinensis. Given these names, you probably wouldn’t be surprised to learn that these species can be found in either the United States (particularly in the southern states) or Eastern China."

> Toasting spices in a little oil

Whether you dry-roast or toast in oil depends on what you're trying to achieve; if you want flavoured oil for something like a tadka, then you use oil. Dry roasting to season e.g. a curry produces different flavours. It's also harder; different spices burn at different speeds, so for example add cumin first and turmeric last. burnt turmeric is very bitter.
> I think everyone here can attest to the fact that we tried harder than anyone else.

How? It would be nice if the author would have put some link or resources for the readers. I don't really have any clue about what this person did.

All the argumentations against remote work on this article don't have nothing with remote work, but bad management. I identified two main issues:

1. this founder is trying to mimic office work in remote setting. It doesn't work that way! It really requires to rethink about process, culture, etc... in a very different way;

2. this founder like 90% of startup founders is a bad manager. Lack of alignment, poor coordination, poor feedback management, low trust are all the main symptoms that this person doesn't seem to have the appropriate skill level to manage a team and a remote org.

I think that remote work also requires stronger leadership and people management skills. But many founders don't really care much about those things as they should. Which also tells a lot about what these people value.
That keyboard was amazing. Such a joy and very satisfying to use.

> I’ve always wanted an HN app that has better offline support

That's a great feature request. I'll brainstorm some ways achieve this without affecting battery life too much. Maybe it could even be a toggle in settings for those who want pre-cached content. Like how YouTube or Podcasts apps do it.

> the two taps to get into a story/comments feels unnecessary

I'll look into this too, I have a feeling now most of HN will agree here.

Thank you again for the feedback, much appreciated!
The Nevada one is being expanded, the Panasonic portion is fixed, but they are adding their own two new sections, one for 4680, and one to build the Semi; I recall reading a news-piece relatively recently, so I disagree, something is happening.

The Buffalo one...yeah, Tesla is just biding their time till they can't be asked to return their subsidy, imho. absolute crap-shoot of an investment all around.
I don't think that TikTok will survive in the Western world, they should accept the situation they are in. Too many governments and military are already blocking the use. Its just a matter of time until it applies to civilians
I use recipe websites. When I want to try something new, I read a handful of recipes there, usually those with high user ratings. But what I really pay attention to is the writing style. If it's just a dry "do this then that then that", it might very well be some stuff someone made up on the spot. But if people go into detail, like "yes this seems like an awful lot of butter, but trust me, this is how the real thing is done at the restaurant where you don't see it", and little details that make me believe the person is actually writing from experience and dropping hints of what to watch out for, it's usually a really solid result for me.
Whenever I visited /r/all, at least half of the posts were political posts. Either antiwork spinoffs or screenshots from Twitter/Facebook with the thread hating on the person's political views. Hardly marketing friendly.

One period people would find tiny subreddits, post something, share it on private Discord servers and have people vote it to the frontpage. Trying to avoid political subreddits as a user was like playing Whac-A-Mole.
Going to push back on this.

Mid 2022, my (brand new) manager received a rigorous scolding for holding a team event where the team (spread out across East Coast and West Coast) met in a single location (Seattle; where majority of the team was) for a couple days of team building (i.e., working in the same office, going out to lunch).

Frupidity may not be the correct word. Perhaps miserly is more appropriate.
I remember a conversation in my 20s with a friend who said "Jamie Oliver's recipes all work" and I was nonplussed by it - I figured that all the recipes in recipe books had been tried and tested, but boy was I naïve. The ones I know which always work are: any Jamie Oliver, any Anna Jones, Ottolenghi's Simple, River Cafe Easy, and The Intolerant Gourmet (a great book of recipes even if you don't have food intolerances). Leith's Cookery Bible is also good - there's a particulaly good one for boned stuffed chicken - although some of the recipes are a little dated now.
Let's put an ant to those silly jokes.
Markets only make sense when a resource is scarce.

Tweaking the market and exemptions might be difficult and finicky. But managing taxation and outright bans is even more finicky.

I am not, btw, arguing for an electricity like system of daily auctions. Just for a 2-tier pricing system that covers the basic requirements with a low rate, and sets a roughly 'market clearing price' for the remainder.

For this I would also price untreated water quite a bit higher. The price isn't just set for the cost of extraction. It is mainly set for the opportunity costs of all others who cannot use that water. So untreated water should cost roughly the same.
Serious recommendation: Back in the day (like more than a decade ago) I learned to cook using rouxbe.com and it really set me up for a love of cooking. Can’t vouch for any changes since then, hopefully it’s still good.

I suspect the term "hate speech" is doing a lot more work than it should be and you two have different understandings of the term.

For instance, for some people talking about embryo selection is hate speech against the disabled, while for others only explicitly calling for the deaths of all <insert ethnic group> would meet the hate speech bar.

What would be your standard for "hate speech"?

I'm still sad about that. They destroyed one of the best game franchises ever. It was such a disappointment after all the release hype.
My favourite on Indian cuisine is the Dishoom cookbook: it comes with recipes for most of their most famous dishes from their restaurant. I've tried most and, whilst the recipes might need a little tweaking to match your kitchen equipment, they are generally spot on. In fact, as far as cookbooks go, it's one of my favourites because it actually gets you close enough that you can figure out what to tweak.

And on the topic of onions: it has a three page section on caramelising onions, which will take you anywhere from half an hour to over an hour, depending on the quantity. That book doesn't lie.

I also have cookbooks that have been gifted to me that belong in the trash. You can tell from just looking at the ratios, times, and method description that the dish isn't going to turn out as expected. Worst of all, my partner is the type that can only cook from a recipe book and this has brought on many arguments over a simple suggestion to deviate from the recipe.
Thanks tomgs! I have this format for every new dev trend I find, keeps it structured.
Ah, recipes. One person's (unless otherwise stated) opinion on what method and mixture of ingredients are good, often written in a haphazard way.

I think the reason for many people can't (or think they can't) cook is that they tried a few times and failed. Or they're intimidated and don't know where to start.

And that's the thing with recipes, they are very often not a good place to start. Most recipes assume you have a lot of knowledge and can read between the lines.
> Privacy, Limited utility

Where/when has the been true? Nowhere I know of.

> Chilling effect on authenticity, Accountability for human folly

There are lots of places with 1 party consent already. Not a problem

> Weaponization of speech

People who are going to commit crimes won't hesitate to commit other crimes. Irrelevant.

> Two-party consent already serves many purposes

For business 2 party consent is not enough. It would be enough if people didn't regularly commit crimes... but they do. Wage theft is probably the most common type of theft. Add on shenanigans with worker's comp, and other workplace nastiness and 1 party consent is very much needed.

> Little effect on harassment or threats

If one person can understand covert speech, other people can too. Irrelevant.

> Third-party recording

I'm a little sympathetic to accidental sharing of recordings, but there are plenty of ways to record that don't have this danger (dedicated recording devices and apps where the data doesn't leave the phone come to mind).

> Other contexts

Lots of things are possible. Your example isn't particularly compelling, though: not every instance of speech has an expectation of privacy.
To be honest, I'm not sure which side of this conflict I come on. Sure, 40% of the trees live on private land, but only a fraction of that would need to actually be razed for new housing, and with the changing landscape, that housing should be much more denser than previous sfh. I'm not sure how much new development is responsible for the reducing population.

On the other hand, while the trees exist, the ending quote is telling that no new trees seem to be growing because of the changing climate. Just mere numbers currently existing seems too simplistic to apply as a metric to determine whether something is endangered when that species is not really reproducing well. By the point it becomes endangered, it will be too late.

The existing bill sounds like a good compromise. May be another (or instead of legislation, an administrative plan) could be to slot a certain number of allowances, say for 1-5% of the existing tree population, and grant permits for removal up to that number, and require the new housing to be above a certain density requirement to get the permits. That way everyone gets a little of what they want, yimby's get their houses, the trees are somewhat protected and it's not open season on them, and the only ones who lose out are lazy individual homeowners who want to kill their tree so they can put up another boring grass lawn.

The utility of /r/all has all but gone. It was a useful view to "what's the most popular anywhere on the site", but for various good reasons, many subreddits don't qualify to show there - either by being removed or opting out of display there. It's a bit of a shame.

Delia Smith's How To Cook taught me a lot. Three volumes. I just yanked volume 1 off the shelf and the first three chapters are on eggs: boiling, poaching, frying, scrambling, baking, frittata, tortilla, souffle omelettes, egg whites, egg yolks, meringues, custard, souffles, hollandaise. The next four chapters are flour.
I’m not asking anyone to change the Gnome UI. That seems an uncharitable misreading of my question TBH.
