>> "This vulnerability does not exist on Intel-based consumer PCs with consumer firmware."

Yet it did exist on computers used by senators, lawyers, executives, everyone I mentioned. Consumers are not the high value targets.

>> This vulnerability was responsibly disclosed to Intel

The vulnerability was uncovered and well known of by very many private espionage teams for a very long time. If this wasn't already obvious to you then your view of the world is too sheepish and naive to meaningfully participate in discussion about this kind of topic.

>> I am not seeing all of these fatal 0 days that you are talking about.

Those of us in the offensive security space see vulnerabilities that could be exploited "locally", anywhere where bad code could get running on the ME as critical too. Getting SYSTEM or root (the former being easier because of that OS' particular culture) is generally easier than it should be. Intel ME makes it a much bigger problem than it otherwise would have to be.

While you most likely are not, you come across as a shill.
>They invented the Wintel monopoly that's still going strong

That's not something they "invented" (in any definition of the term). This is something they achieved. Through a combination of luck/right place/right time (the IBM deal), good-enough corporate-oriented software, and a number of good business moves, and a hell of a lot of shady businesses practices and under the table deals.

I know this isn't right or just but I can't help but automatically discount tweets from a blue checkmark. That switch from verified users to paid users has me on guard when I see it. Again, it's not right but that's the effect on me of people paying for verification.
I feel ambivalent about your work.
First, I was very interested. The thing is your tool is a good approximation of what I am trying to do at my current work. So naturally, I was interested: maybe I learn something, maybe I can use your work. Maybe I'll even buy your solution if it fits my needs.

The next I know, tool is closed source, tool is windows executable (?) and the third and most important, pricing page is 'contact us'. There is no way I am trying your tool or contacting you for a quote.
It’s not the kids it’s how we manage them. They interact with 100s of other kids daily in small boxes with poor ventilation. Obviously airborne diseases are going to be a problem
RLHF apparently manages to mostly force all responses in all languages to be quasihomogeneous. I'm not sure if that means they translated the RLHF data to as many languages as possible and then repeated it or if it's something more fundamental which applies regardless of input language.

Although asking it "What can you not talk about" in Japanese only responds correctly with gptv4, and each language gives you a different list of items to some degree (between 4 and 6 items i found).

Sadly trying to speak Klingon or Sindarin to it is dodgy at best
Here’s a critique of the study if anyone is interested:

(https://twitter.com/DrJBhattacharya/status/16649160363518525...)

> It assumes that if a kid gets a fever first and then an adult in the house 1 to 7 days later, then the kid got covid and passed it to the adult.

This is a bad way to infer the direction of transmission. It's possible that parents had a fever, but didn't bother to check themselves until after their kid developed a fever and they checked them.

The paper does not even test a single participant for covid, so the fever might not represent covid at all. Nor does it check for other contacts the adult or kid may have had outside the house

Additionally, the sample is self-selected: it consists of people who opt into a fever reporting app -- not representative of the population as a whole.

The result is at odds with more careful contact tracing studies, like the Icelandic study from early 2020, which concludes the opposite. The paper is not a reliable guide to the relative risk that kids pose for disease spreading.

More broadly, the paper has no policy import. Would closing schools have protected anyone from getting covid? The evidence from studies comparing places that closed them vs. places that opened them suggests no. I

That closing schools is bad for the health of children is out of the scope of the ideas considered by this study.

Which compelling offers did you have in mind? The similar boards I can get at 35$ are Orange Pi 3, Orange Pi Zero 2, MangoPi MQ-Pro, Le Potato. None of which are better than a Pi 4 (at least in my use cases).

Michael Lewis' book on the pandemic talks about this being well known to people familiar with pandemics.
It's an odd situation, but I can see where the sentiment comes from. Poorer communities are usually the target of redevelopment, frequently with promises on how things will improve, only to discover that the promises were hollow down the road. In a case like this, where there is supposed to be an incredibly large change in the demographic of the community, I can understand how some would interpret the small increase in social housing as being a hollow promise.
Wait a minute, we already have serious issues. If you live in a wealthy country and have enough money to get around those issues, it is just harder to see.
TikTok's user profiling algorithm pays close attention to time spent on microcontent. Twitter may be going down a similar path.

Literally your job. Yes it’s difficult, which is why they pay you rather than automate it. Or get someone on minimum wage to do it.
Right, it uses Virtualization Framework. I forked vftool [0] and added direct Rosetta support which was trivial to do according to the Apple documentation; just had to convert Swift example code to Obj-C.

Have had a PR open for several months with no attention from the author. I almost forgot about it until seeing this HN headline.

[0] https://github.com/JamesDunne/vftool-rosetta

The Rosetta support is surprisingly trivial to use. The virtualization framework exposes a mountable volume containing a single `rosetta` executable. In the Linux guest, you just register binfmt_misc support that recognizes an x86 ELF image and point it at the `rosetta` binary. It works for docker too so you can run arm64 and amd64 images.
The automoderator feature of reddit seems to be very complex. You can configure a lot.
This is exactly what the elites are relying on. Complete lack of labor solidarity. Writer earning $260k (median for writers in Hollywood is probably far lower) and someone making $40k are both labor and need to be united against capital with resources to get its way with legislature and courts.
Given there are enough property owners, this is expected. But in the presence of a few property owners, the opportunity for collusion is higher because the opportunity cost of defecting is higher than the opportunity cost of not defecting. This centralization of property into a few owners is something that is happening all over the Anglosphere.
> Freshman year, first semester, I paid $1100 for books, and then we only actually used one of them more than slightly.

This really bothers me.

Universities hold themselves up as virtuous. Then students hire them to provide to provide an education. Instead of being agents for the students, the students are instead treated like a captive market. There is a very real conflict of interest in universities profiting off textbooks they "require" while being hired to provide a class. I really don't get how any of this is acceptable.

Then you get required to take an ethics class as part of your degree.

Avoided Covid until about three weeks ago. Kid brought it home from preschool.

4x Moderna.

Symptoms were sore throat, persistent cough, mild fever and sweats. No loss of taste or smell.

Edit: not sure why this was downvoted, I’m not complaining at all about my vaccine assisted recovery. I’m also immune compromised (in the last 6 months) and fairly happy with how well things worked out. I didn’t really even need to take time off and went to (remote) meetings. Covid was nothing compared to some bad drug interactions I had a few months prior.

I thought not losing any sense of smell or taste was most interesting and it was likely due to some combination of the specific variant, the Moderna vaccines and paxlovid that prevented that class of symptoms.

It's basic math, no? Teenagers cannot account for 44.5% of injuries if they don't make up 44.5% of the workforce. Do you believe more than 44.5% of the workforce are teenagers?

Yes, teenagers are more injury prone, but obviously not 44.5% more, and it isn't obviously more impactful than the effects of an older human body deteriorating with age. If you go to the average hospital, are 44.5% of the patients teenagers?
For years, third-party apps were the only apps and some of them were really great. Then Reddit introduced the official app, which is inferior in every way, and now it wants to forbid the other ones.
The size of the pins they're running this over is what makes it scary.

I've had high-end devices (Macbook Air I'm typing this on) give me unreliable connections for basic USB 1.1, and now they're planning to run amps over similarly-sized pins?

My experience with USB-C on laptops has been nothing but terrible.
A lot of power users use third party software that offers extra features (or just a UI they are familiar with). Mods of popular subreddits are power users and friends with other power users. So mods or people they associate with use third party apps far more than average users. If the numbers are small, they are concentrated among people who have a lot of reach on the platform.

It's similar to how Twitter shut down several tools only used by power-users to force a small number of people into using their first party app.

Obviously, Twitter/Reddit wants the revenue associated with supplying the app. But it's not clear if it will be worth pissing off their user base.
You know how many times I've heard "not surprised at the least" during this whole covid fiasco? Especially, from the people who slurped down whatever "science" reporting the media pushed and was taken as the gospel after just months of studying a complex virus.

it's baffling how cocksure you are. We don't know and if anyone claims they do with a good accuracy theyre full of it.

You should be surprised, it was and still is a novel virus. We didnt know and still don't know the long term effects since we don't have enough data to make a long term analysis. Get your head out your ass this kind of thinking led to bad government decisions by afraid citizens that enabled their governments to make poor decisions

Sorry, but the company's decision to hire a former cop (nothing wrong with that), then glorify his surveillance work (not great, but not the worst thing in the world), then pretend that the people upset with that were actually vegans who were upset with a picture of bacon or some bull like that convinced me that the company is completely, utterly out of touch with normal people and with the zeitgeist of the hobbyist movement.

They can go act like they're above reproach with their new "business" community all they want. Good riddance.

- Moderators use the poweruser tools in the third party clients

- I'm not sure how niche third party clients really are. Reddit started as a community of tech-savvy users who would not put up with the crap the official site/app is doing. There's probably a reason why reddit kept old.reddit.com online for so long.

They would rather direct users to content that Reddit wants them to see. High engagement content like quick meme pics, short videos or polarised political content that generates time on site and activity that looks good to investors. Profitable content like the awards programs. Not externally hosted content where the ad revenue might be going to YouTube or journalists rather than Reddit. Not comments discussions where a user might spend time reading rather than generating new page views.

This might be fine with you if you see Reddit as "that site for the memes", but for a lot of users, especially veteran users, it replaced forums and other sites for discussing hobbies or other content, and that content is both harder to enjoy as the official apps push you towards what Reddit would rather you see, and drowned out by the more casual content.

In addition, for many people, they would like an efficient experience where they can select what they want to dig deeper into and then get off the site, while Reddit would rather you doomscrolled for longer to improve their metrics at the expense of the user's time.

So it's been very clear for a while that Reddit's first party UX design does not gel with the aims of these groups, which, being veteran users and therefore having more time to get used to the site, are over represented amongst those creating content or in roles like moderation. And this has been mostly fine with these groups as long as they can just go to the refuges of third party apps, old.reddit and compact reddit and ignore Reddit's trend chasing. But compact is gone, third party apps are going, and it's hard not to extrapolate that to old.reddit.
It must akin to the Spanish similar regulation I guess, but the idea is to force employers recognize and pay extra worked hours, not to spy on the employees.

It’s a symptom of the bipartisan mindrot that is polarization.

“You’re either with us or against us”. Thus disagreement is escalated to opposition, opposition is escalated to vilification. The culture warriors no longer hold viewpoints, they have identities, and identities are inviolable[0]. Challenge is thus perceived as an existential attack that must be defeated at all costs. Words are labelled as violence. Pushback is labelled as genocide. Suddenly everyone is either a Nazi or a pedophile.

The polio vaccine has been approved by the FDA during all of that time. Therefore, I don't understand how the deaths during that time provide evidence that the FDA should approve drugs faster.

Universities could solve these problems in many ways, including just having a price-cap on student textbooks.

That the problem continues isn't because the right tweak hasn't been tried but because university administrators allow this situation. The reason they allow the situation is both that they some material interest in it but also because the administrators and funders of the university operate with an ideology that sees markets inherently as a solution to problems.

The concept of using endless debt to pay an escalating price for privatized knowledge is the epitome of efficient use of resources in this view. And your idea of rebundling the costs certainly would change the regime if it somehow got tried.

It costs about $7000 in Europe (the price seems to be similar in different country even though there is no EU wide collective negotiation).

The price in the US seems to be around double in the US. But maybe that just pharma companies do PPP adjusted pricing? e.g. it seems to cost ~1500 in India for instance. Americans are simply much richer and also significantly more on healthcare than people in other countries.

The native apps and website are horrible for a number of reasons. I definitely wouldn't touch Reddit with a ten foot pole if 3rd-party apps and old.reddit.com went away.

I'd say people using the native apps are generally unaware that there's even an alternative. This whole shebacle will - if nothing else - change that to some degree.

Curious, have you always just used the native app/website and never tried 3rd party clients?
