> Curious discussion is engaging on the topic at hand, not on completely unrelated nonsense…

1. No. This interpretation of one HN Guideline is not accurate. Such a view would justify being non-charitable, which is incompatible with the guidelines more broadly.

Curious and charitable conversation should not stop because you think my comment is off-topic.

2. Regarding topicality; as I explained at length in another comment, as conversations evolve in a tree of comments, there may be considerable distance (in terms of a topic vector space) from the root. This is a normal and useful.

I’m certainly open and appreciative of someone adding to the conversation. You made a connection from my points to what you see is the central point. Your connection was ‘negative’ in the sense that you suggested my points about perceptions and priors does not apply to the original post. This sense of negative is not a problem, even though I disagree with some of your logic. But the way you did it — quite harshly — was unnecessary.

3. Each time you say “utter nonsense” or “bogus” (and the like) it comes across as insulting. Are you aware of this?

There are clearer phrases and terms to use that are not insulting. Depending on what you are trying to say, you might try:

- you could say you disagree (in the sense of a value judgment or a subjective matter)

- you could say that I’m making a logical or rational error

- you could say that something is not true, factually

- you could say that particular claim of mine is inconsistent with another claim

- you could say that I am not providing evidence or support for a claim

Onto a different point. You wrote:

> not on completely unrelated nonsense, that you are no expert on anyway (as you professed yourself).

4. Stating that I am not an expert in a particular cognitive science theory does not inherently disqualify the logic of my argument. It merely suggests an openness to learning if there are mistakes. Such an openness is indicative of humility and a tendency to not overreach.

As you can see in my other comments, I have recognized and agreed with some of your points. But these points have not contradicted or disproved what I wrote.
Or if they still have all their HEPA filters left over from 2020/Covid. Things that actually could remove particulates.
Isn’t this just playing a trick with system boundaries though?

If I hire my son to do my yard work instead of my neighbor, how does that make my son objectively worse off?

Within system/family, obviously this has increased wealth compared to hiring my neighbor.

Without system, it has only made me worse off to the proportion that I have "overpaid" my son. But because it's zero-sum, my son has benefited to the exact proportion that I've been made worse off.

Edit: Back to the context of globalization, "overpaying" my neighbor to build my car only makes me worse off to the same proportion s/he has been helped. When you factor in the concept of preference for psychological distance, that might be a worthy tradeoff. I.e., there's a psychological basis for valuing the financial well-being of my son/neighbor over the abstract person in another country* and this action seems logically consistent with that psychological framework.

* This isn't to say the decision is morally justified. That's a different argument than the economic one.
I think it gets even better. You can target specific groups and push particular ideas to them. With that you can create an entire fake discourse.
You probably don't even want that many people believing your particular ideology, they might demand standards and having enemies you control is about the best situation to be in.
All you have to do is try one in an Apple store when they come out, and then you’ll be able to get a better understanding.

It’s easy to just claim it’s worthless without firsthand experience. It’s not so easy to discount the giant investment and expertise that have been brought to bear on developing it.

That's not entirely true. He was always a liberal, until the "more liberal" political party became obsessed with Big Tech censorship, war, and identity politics. As a result, the mainstream media throw him under the bus, because he doesn't fit in conveniently with the party line, kind of like RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
I'm always amazed at the diversity of opinions about lockdowns. In this case, I'm flabbergasted anyone ever thought that lockdowns alone would eliminate the disease, or that elimination was the goal of lockdowns. Are either of these common beliefs?

Let alone that that lockdowns + prison + tracking those with persistent infections was the next logical step in the case of TFA
I am familiar with the game and I cannot explain it. Go is not typically rated with the Elo system, and the quality of top-level human play has increased since 2016.
The whole industry lost me way back in the 90's when I saw the first popover/under ads for X10 cameras. No, the industry is entirely exploitative of technology with little to no real redeeming qualities and are so invasive, pervasive and dishonest that you generally can't even trust the top search results for product class reviews either.

Quite a lot of zip application icons used this imagery, so that's not particularly surprising
Yes, that's the risk, but: similar issues have been flagged in the past and in the end oversight won out so I'm not quite as worried as you are.

A typical scenario is that a hacker is using a series of nested accesses to compromised systems, if the original warrant allows for tracking the hacker on the first system then there is no time to obtain warrants for the systems that are uncloaked as the result of the investigation, this happens pretty much in real time. So this provision allows the investigation to proceed and will have a reasonable time allowed to 'catch up'.

It definitely is possible that it will be abused, but that will lead to this provision being disbanded, as has happened in the past when dutch LE overstepped their authority. I'm fairly sure that those lessons - and the cases thrown out as a result - have been learned, but of course it is very well possible that we'll see a re-run.

I'm on the fence on this one, I'd say let's see where it leads because it is clear to me that the digital world is moving much faster than law enforcement can normally speaking keep up with and a lot of crime is perpetrated because of that. The risk of abuse of such methods is always present, and 'protections in theory' that are abused tend to find very unsympathetic judges in this country. It's fairly clear that something will have to change if LE is to keep up with the increase in online crime, whether this overshoots the mark or not remains - in my view - to be seen. It definitely has that risk, but then again, so would every other proposal short of the status quo and that clearly isn't effective enough.
Weighing all things, though, is it worse? Would an increase in acid raid outweigh the myriad health concerns over wildfire smoke?

I'd rather not pollute the atmosphere on purpose, but I find that there's a moral hazard in not considering all possible mitigation strategies. Keeping in mind that those of us posting on Hackernews are among the least affected and least vulnerable people on the planet.
They're infected, but are they contagious? How contagious?

> The only way to eliminate the disease would have been to lockdown for a while, identify all 'forever infected' people and imprison them for life, and close your borders to outsiders forever.

It seems like you could identify them and then treat them so they wouldn't need to be locked up forever, but there'd be no reason to close your borders as long as you quarantined and tested everyone on entry.
One thing I've noticed is that people who are very anti-america often end up being very pro other anti-america people. Choamsky comes to mind. America bad, therefore Russia good.

I'm not a fan of the CIA, to put it mildly, but the idea that the US "provoked" Russia into invading Ukraine is obvious Russian propaganda. Here's a heuristic for knowing if something is Russian propaganda: is it a story where Russia has no agency? Then it's Russian propaganda. You'll notice the amount of stories floating around where Russia is portrayed as "we had no choice, there was nothing else we could do". Notice that American propaganda is very different. The US illegally invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, but it never defended its position as "Isis is there, we have no choice but to invade", or "Sadam has WMD, we have no choice but to invade". No, the way that America writes its propaganda is very different. It says "we do have a choice, and we choose X because of freedom/national security interest/whatever". It's very telling that Russia is always "we had no choice". It's self-victimization propaganda, coming from a weak country.
Your entire point up til now has been that Reddit has had a singular opinion. You have referred to Reddit as a singular entity with a singular set of beliefs and thoughts. Multiple times.

> it’s Reddit that is out of touch.

> If it’s only Reddit that finds many people’s behaviour objectionable Occam’s Razor would determine that Reddit is the problem

Hell, even in this comment you continue to do it.

> Again, Reddit leans left of the general population.

Now suddenly Reddit is multiple people with multiple opinions?

> I’ve been very consistent on this

Consistent is the opposite of what you've been. But ok.
We actually don't know how much he handed to them but he stole 1.5 million classified documents when he fled.

According to: https://intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/hpsci_snowden_r...

> Since Snowden’s arrival in Moscow, he has had, and continues to have, contact with Russian intelligence services., and in June 2016, the deputy chairman of the Russian parliament’s defense and security committee asserted that “Snowden did share intelligence” with his government.'

> Over the past three years, the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense (DoD) have carried out separate reviews—with differing methodologies—of the contents of all 1.5 million documents Snowden removed. It is not clear which of the documents Snowden removed are in the hands of a foreign government.

The US govt is assuming they have it all

> Out of an abundance of caution, DoD therefore reviewed all 1.5 million documents to determine the maximum extent of the possible damage.

And to someone who hasn't done touch-up work on film, the terms "dodge" and "burn" have no obvious connection to lightening or darkening an area, so even native English speakers need to learn what the terms mean.

In a society where tons of kids are born and half of them don't live to see their fifth birthday, children's lives are a lot less valuable than in the Western societies of 2023, where kids are something of a rare resource and they are expected to live full, long lives.

This difference needs to be taken into account when thinking about various probabilities in the past.
> He is only the rent-seeker my dude

Well...yeah that's what a landlord is.

Another kind of rent seeker would be a dude building a small SAAS product by stitching together other people framework, paying a copywriter for his blog content and a designer for his visual. Another is a dude investing his money in bonds/stocks hoping for a return.

There are many kind of rent seeker in this world. Each requiring a different set of skills, expertise and appetite for risks. Someone doing that through real estate is called a landlord. It's not better or worse than any other kind.

History serves you as correct. Though, I think the energy is more properly spent weaning off of Reddit and fostering a new community. I've seen feature requests from almost a decade ago being promised and there's not even a shred of progress on them. At that point, why not make it yourself?

100k people leaving reddit won't kill reddit, but 100k people can definitely form it's own active community. That many more people than most reddit alternatives as of now.
Saying "mRNA vaccines are completely safe" is obviously not pedantically true. The same could be said of anything, not just mRNA vaccines. Nothing is ever absolutely 100 % safe.

It would, at least in theory, be better to realistically say what we knew and didn't know about the risks.

But public communication about those kinds of risks and tradeoffs is hard. If you say there might be any kind of a risk at all, some people are going to get hung up on that or grossly overestimate those risks compared to the benefits (or to the risks of not getting the vaccine -- also not something everyone would be affected by but clearly a non-zero risk).

Taking that into account, "completely safe" might be a better approximation than most other ones you could make.

that was what I thought of: I know people have worked on detecting community meth or heroin or other drugs through the wastewater. I don't know how much that's being done, though.
Yes, but you could slightly amend their statement to say "Can you name a non-capitalist government..." to remove the false dichotomy and preserve the original point of the question, right?
With modern compilers, the mental model of what code translates to is long dead. Operations are reordered and statically scheduled, code can be inlined, outlined, eliminated, or duplicated. Vectorization is a whole other can of worms that can appear in often surprising ways. Mix in security extensions like pointer authentication, branch target identification, or even pure software things like stack cookies and now you're getting code you never even wrote inserted everywhere.

The best approach is always just to verify the disassembly.
Because you wrote "This is definitely not the first time temperatures have risen due to direct co2 levels. "

Having migrated from software to (very complex) hardware over most of the last decade I would say there are still lean principles, just with different cost and value metrics. For instance, "lean" as an emphasis on rapid iteration has great basis in hardware R&D.

No it's really not a fine line. If you do something that harms someone else I think society should be able to curtail your liberty. Social credit is not really the same thing because when you speed you're increasing the likelihood of a devastating crash with another driver or a pedestrian. Having witnessed just such a thing a couple of weeks ago and having rendered aid, I can assure you there is very real harm. It is not something I will forget.
I've personally gotten a lot of value out of generative AI models and I run/train everything locally on 5 year old hardware. It's the literal opposite of the thing you said, we finally have AI that's incredibly accessible and open. Anyone with a half decent GPU can do interesting things with a 2gb blob of tensors.
>When Bing generates a "bad" response, Bing will actually delete the generated text instead of just highlighting it red, replacing the offending response with some generic "Let's change the topic" text.

It deletes in more cases than that. Last time I tried bingbot it started writing code when i asked for it, then it deleted it and wrote something else.

OpenAI is going for mass RLHF feedback so they might feel the need to scold users who have no-no thoughts, and potentially use their feedback in a modified way (e.g. invert their ratings if you think they're bad actors). Whereas microsoft doesn't really care and just wants to forget it happened (and after Tay, I can't say I blame them)
Have you considered just using live Linux? Buy some 16gb USB3 sticks in bulk, and flash it with a distro that runs well off the drive. That way you don't have to clean up after each session too, you can just shut off the computer and it will go back to a regular Windows PC.
So obnoxious, although apparently in newer versions you can modify what language you want.

I remember seeing the dictionary to translate between German and English function names[1], one time I googled for "Excel German translation" and Google proudly showed the Translate interace pre-filled with "English: excel / German: übertreffen"

I don't understand how Google messed up this bad, they had all the resources and all the talent to make GPT-4. Initially, when the first Bard version was unveiled, I assumed that they were just using a heavily scaled-down model due to insufficient computational power to handle an influx of requests. However, even after the announcement of Palm 2, Google's purported GPT-4 competitor, during Google IO , the result is underwhelming, even falling short of GPT 3.5. If the forthcoming Gemini model, currently training, continues to lag behind GPT-4, it will be a clear sign that Google has seriously dropped the ball on AI. Sam Altman's remark on the Lex Fridman podcast may shed some light on this - he mentioned that GPT-4 was the result of approximately 200 small changes. It suggests that the challenge for Google isn't merely a matter of scaling up or discovering a handful of techniques; it's a far more complex endeavor. Google backed Anthropic's Claude+ is much better than Bard, if Gemini doesn't work out, maybe they should just try and make a robust partnership with them similar to Microsoft and OpenAI.
I should have been more clear. We only have one data point for the emergence of intelligent life.

Time will tell. I'd bet that a sizable amount of people posting the content that actually drives engagement with the website cares about this change, and I think that there's not as many people excited to do unpaid labour in the form of modding as you may think.
"In doing that they usually jump to the most uncharitable, horrible reasons they can imagine for why we might have done so."

So you do understand why one wouldn't want to deal with a significant part of the user base here given that they behave in such ways, and thus why one might want to avoid any traffic coming from here, but feel that it's not your job to deal with those users, because then their behavior would affect you? I really hope you'll reflect on that...
It depends on the quantization method, but yes some of the most commonly used ones are extremely slow.

If if they were able, how could they possibly win people over? They've violated our trust, privacy, and (arguably) our legal rights. Even if they're literally keeping the nation from being taken over by China or Russia, they're also the bad guys. I can accept that it's possible I'm better off with them than without them... but I hate them, because they abuse me.
