That's a weird answer. If something is denied many times that shouldn't count as a reason to deny it again but to question whether that denial is appropriate.

If you mean "HN people", then probably no; but if you mean more generalized "people", then definitely yes. Unfortunately, your customers are much more likely from the latter group.

Same for developed countries, though on a small scale.
> Your average car repair guy will often be forced to specialize in one brand of car.

Not because of skill issues, but maybe forced because they work for a dealership that sells a particular make exclusively or, less often, a specialty shop; most “car repair guys” outside of those environments have to be generalists.

> Your home appliance guy will preferrably sell and repair one brand of washing machine, dryer, dishwasher.

IME, the sales are done by shops that carry many brands, and delivery, installation, repair donw by firms that often have relations with the retailers and handle whatever you get from them, including multiple unita of different brands that come together with the same team. They may also have relations with the manufacturers, but those don’t seem usually to be exclusive.

What's your advice on doing this for products in rapidly changing markets?

Example:
Say you are an AI graduate who has worked in AI for a while before ChatGPT.

Suddenly a competitor spins up something you were also developing - faster with ChatGPT - no problem, you launch it too.

One month later, 20 more competitors have popped up, but none really gained too much share. It seems ok.

Two months later, a competitor with funding launches, but now the product is free.

You start losing users to FreeComp, who also buy conference attention.

Your users say well, if you add this advanced feature - then we'll pay - but not now we can go to FreeComp.

Can you trust that? For how long? How would you weight it?

The problem is that cash, unlike information, can only be spent once.
I understand the appeal of a digital currency that is decentralized, like bitcoin. But why do we need a digital centralized currently. Isn’t it just money that moves digitally, which already exists? Why do we need to add anything to that? What am I missing? I feel like for this to make sense, the next logical step would be to get rid of all the cash, and I get the whole, make the world cashless so we can instantly control/monitor every flow, but is this really the only motivation/endgame?

What will be the difference between me depositing cash at a bank, having my balance update and then transferring it to someone via my banking app?

Is is that transfers will be faster bc the currency is actually always held at the central bank and accounts are just claims to it?

It's mostly the generation engine, not the logical AI. Here's what GPT-4 says when asked to describe.

> As an AI, I can't actually see the painting, but based on the title and the dimensions you've provided, I can imagine a possible description.

> The painting, titled "Three cats in a trenchcoat standing on each other's shoulders, pretending to be a human, Vincent Adultman style," is a large piece, standing 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide.

> At the bottom of the painting, the trenchcoat's hem brushes the ground, obscuring the cats' feet. The trenchcoat is a deep, rich color, perhaps a classic trenchcoat beige or a more dramatic black or navy. The coat is painted with careful detail, showing the texture of the fabric and the gleam of buttons.

> Moving up the painting, the middle section reveals the outline of three cats stacked on top of each other within the coat. The artist might have chosen to show this through a slightly open coat, or perhaps through the distinctive shapes visible under the fabric. The cats could be of different breeds and colors to add visual interest and humor.

> The top third of the painting, the upper two feet, features the head of the topmost cat peeking out from the collar of the trenchcoat. The cat might be looking straight ahead, trying to maintain its human disguise, or it might be looking out at the viewer with a humorous or mischievous expression. If the artist chose to include a hat, it would be perched on the cat's head, adding to the disguise.

> The background of the painting could vary greatly depending on the artist's style and intentions. It could be a simple, solid color to keep the focus on the cats, or it could be a detailed scene that adds to the story - perhaps a city street to tie in with the Vincent Adultman reference, or a domestic setting to contrast with the cats' unusual behavior.

> Again, this is a hypothetical description and the actual painting could be very different.

Absolute preach right here. I would say I laugh when someone says it's not perceptually possible for me to differentiate the pixels of my 4K display from a typical viewing distance, but that's actually become such a common assertion that I'm dying to know if my vision is just that much better or theirs is just that much worse. :/

You don't need to go down to cellular or sub-cellular level to see what works and what doesn't. This essay might get this right, but conjectures at higher level may be misleading. At the same time, there has been a good deal of research on how learning works at the level that we can look at and understand: real people learning in different ways, then tested. There's been a research, that I fail to recall where, that when people liked learning, they learned little, while if they did hard tasks and disliked it, in fact they learned the matter far better, than the first group.
I'm afraid this is not going to help much.

Instead, we should have a law against a panopticon.

Perhaps the way to get rid of Google Analytics is thus to start a Chinese company and make everybody use their analytics tool.

That's like saying people will eventually find the printing press cheap because our paperback novels weren't laboriously drawn by monks. People prefer the clarity and uniformity of mechanized typesetting over the artisticness of blackletter scribbled in cursive with a bird feather. CGI in movies is a similar story. People want to hear stories told by computers rather than puppets. People don't play dungeons and dragons anymore because it's now cheap to have AI generate realistic looking 3d fantasy worlds on the fly thanks to video games. Technology wins, every single time, because it gives us what we want and it solves the greatest problem people have always had, which is other people. Anyone who says differently is kidding themselves.

But more seriously, it is important to consider just how much importance any internet discussion should be given. I would say a strong down weight in general is most useful. Consider whether it really helps matters or severely hurts progress to react to the noise. Thinking of troll farms pushing content and adding flamey content to threads. It’d be better if people had some built in skepticism.

Edit-Also, there absolutely will always be someone who disagrees with you/any comment on the internet. And they’re the most likely to respond to that comment. So while there’s a huge amount of actual information on the internet there is far, far more much noise. Actual knowledge and wisdom are going to have to be independently verifiable. Like reading a book, multiple sources, choose sources with demonstrated quality etc.

Nothing surprising, this was kinda clear already not too long after the regulation was passed and since then quite a lot of curt decisions which bordered that topic have painted a very clear picture of "it's not really compatible with the law/regulation but you might get away with it anyway".

Also given some scamy things google was found to be doing in their ad business and personal experiences people I know had when running different statistics and ad providers along side of google and noticing gross divergence I _personally_ really wouldn't trust google analytics or ads at all if I where a business.

It seems to me like they removed the warning on SQLite, so I guess they tested it and it works fine. But I didn't research this any further so far.
Why would you not have access to your logs? Not having access to logs doesn't even make sense to me. We honor hippa and gdpr and we can access logs. Beyond that, I am a proponent of structured logging and log aggregators that can help you see trends and analyze the logs, like Splunk or, to a lessor extent, DataDog.
It's actually not all that wrong. ChatGPT is a bit like the Snowden leaks - making the public aware of capabilities that have existed (and which have gone through generations of development) outside of the public eye for a long time.

I remember going out for drinks during ACM Supercomputing 2011 with a gaggle of talkative folks working for a gov't contractor on (social media) profile management and content generation (i.e. astroturf) for the military and intelligence sector, both for tradecraft and influence purposes. The sector was rolling in dough then, because throwing humans at the problem (even if it scaled) makes maintaining operational security and message discipline hard.

I'm not sure that a majority of ALL "user-generated content" on the internet that is seen by actual humans is synthetic, but I am pretty sure that it is true for topics of strategic or commercial interest to all kinds of parties. (The tech is pretty democratized now.)
I prefer the NASA approach: 100% is whatever as defined in the spec sheet, and any improvements above that are measured in percentages above 100.

As an example, the SSME was nominally operated at 104.5%, and the newer expendable RS-25Es nominally operate at 111%.[1]

So basically: 100% is the CPU running at base frequency, and anything higher (eg: turboing/boosting, overclocking) should result in even higher percentages above 100. This would be a lot more meaningful than whatever "100% CPU load" means today.

> all the same GDPR issues

Not necessarily. If I read the article correctly, it is about sending data to the US:

> The complaints allege that the companies, in violation of the law, transfer personal data to the United States.

So if the 3rd party is inside the EU, you might be fine. Or at least you may run into different GDPR issues.

AWS is a toolbox you can use to construct your app deployment/hosting environment. Unless you know or want to know how to (for example) setup routing on VPCs, it may be better to go with someone actually hosting apps rather than infrastructure.

"The whole context and presentation seemed like it was designed to make the viewer feel like they'd learnt something even though nothing of substance was really delivered in those 20 seconds. He does that a lot."

I can't disagree with that. He's not only a YouTube presenter but also a documentary maker, His documentary Uranium: Twisting the Dragon's Tail https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4847012/ has been repeated on TV where I am, I think, at least three times. He's also made others.

Unfortunately, that type of presentation is all too common in modern docos (probably couldn't get it past the director otherwise). As you'd know, this and similar techniques (which I find highly irritating) are also used to pad out half-hour shows to an hour and or to multi episodes when one would do adequately (thankfully, my PVR comes to the rescue and I rarely watch them in real time).

This feature is not unique to cryptocurrency. Governments are our mechanism for deciding what is and is not allowed.
I am moderately pro-crypto (I feel like one of the few moderates left but that's another discussion...). But I don't really see the point in CBDCs. The main points around Crypto conflict with the main points around Central Banks

* Most CBs don't like Privacy, and many proposed CBDCs require you to have a single wallet and link it to your real life ID. That's less private than most bank accounts, so why bother for privacy reasons?

* Similarly CBDCs are centralised with the CB. They might use a decentalised blockchain etc, but you are completely reliant on the CB to actually convert to fiat. So again, why not just use fiat?

* You avoid the counterparty risk that come with (say) Tether, Circle etc. But you have a very similar risk with the central bank. Maybe the central bank are more trustworthy than the average stable coin operator (they are) but what happens when they decide to introduce a negative interest rate, haircut etc? At least other blockchains prevent that and traditional private bank accounts make it very difficult.

So what exactly is the point of a digital-euro beyond letting the ECB look like it's "down with the crypto kids" etc?
If you look at the examples in the post, the two bananas are usually joined, so definitely not single. So I think your explanation is overthinking it.

I think that getting a list of all the data a company holds on you is allowed as part of the GDPR yes. In my experience of such things (and I have no direct experience of Facebook specifically), but often this is very, very dull.

You say "travel to Antartica" (i.e. something meaningful and interesting to a human), but the computer says "ID:2sb374k44nmdld7394m44na7a63bba73hha3" (i.e. something meaningful to a computer)

So instead of seeing a human-readable list of things you've looked at, you get a totally unintelligible list of primary keys that are used in some embedding-space in some algorithm somewhere that is used to pick the most salient ad to show you at that moment in time.

Like I said, I have no idea how Facebook does this but I would be amazed if there was anything human-readable about the profile they've built on you. Its just too high-maintenance (and frankly pointless) to have human-readable labels for everything.
They extrapolate just fine. It's the image nets that don't.

Here's my excerpt with GPT-4:

As an AI, I can't actually see the painting, but based on the title and the dimensions you've provided, I can imagine a possible description.

Honestly, who cares?

On a more constructive side, I think adding some value by giving the poster some feedback or engaging in a conversation about the topic would be nice, otherwise it just sounds as an attempt to show off.

I'm not a fan of these "header only" projects nor am I a fan of overly clever code because even though it's fun and rewarding to write it's not a great fit for larger or collaborative projects where consistently adhering to a coding style (hopefully one of the secure ones) and favoring readability over "coolness" are the way to go.

People love to blame C for all of its footguns but not a lot of people like to write "boring" code which kinda sucks...

Please don't take this personally, even though I have to admit that I felt somewhat irritated upon reading your comment it is my no means my intention to attack you with this rant.
How do you square that with regularly commenting on an easily crawlable website?
I've worked at an web agency creating many websites for mid-sized companies (million of views each month). My conclusion is that it is about feelings. It feels good to know you have some data about your users, even if you in most cases are not going to look at it. If someone hire someone to look at it then the findings are not acted upon.

The best way to get feedback is to talk to your users face to face, or do a questionnaire.
Yes. And no. It isn't quite that simple.

The problem is that adverts and stalking are intimately linked ATM. I block companies trying to follow me around my day-today life, I don't block adverts directly but inadvertently because of that link between the two.

GDPR and similar regulations are not about advertising, but privacy. They are usually written to disallow excluding users who don't agree to the stalking part – so “allow ads or pay by other means or go away” is fine but “allow stalking or pay by other means or go away” is not, and the way the ad-tech industry currently is the two can not (easily) be separated.

That only matters if a significant portion of the userbase actually pays the fee. If only 0.01% of users pay the fee, then advertisers will be totally fine 'only' advertising to the poorest 99.99% of the population.
