There's a big difference between attributing a set of behaviors to a mental condition that is known to influence patterns of thinking and behavior, and attributing it to skin color.

You can clearly tell that Musk has Asperger's just from hearing him speak or even reading some of his tweets (at least I can, maybe because I have it too), is making that observation also "ableist" or do you only consider it to be ableist because it is attributing his managerial decisions to that?

We may be arguing semantics because nowadays "-ism"s are used as shorthand for generalization instead of prejudice and I prefer to stick to the latter definition to avoid attributing discriminatory intent.
Great to know other people played with this charging format. It wold be great to play with less power either. What I fiound interesting is that other notebooks refuse to charge at these levels.

I am completely ignorant about if this could damage batteries or not. Confused by people in Reddit.
If they link to my website and it is viewed in a positive way, yes.
Personally, I think getting hit in the face with a fish sketch is how Musk is treating Twitter users...

At some point attacks on straw men gets tiring I guess.
It's very unlikely to have been largely luck -> it's likely it wasn't mostly luck -> no reason to bring up luck as an argument.

There's no fallacy here either, the implication is he was repeatedly successful due to his business skills, not luck, which he can be reasonably expected to apply to his future ventures.

To suggest otherwise would be falling for the old HN 'but technically' fallacy.

I don't see it as victim-blaming. if you turn up to a shop and the phone number you provide them with pointlessly includes 00 and the dial code, and they get confused and can't contact you, yeah it's incompetent by the shop, but also you've needlessly over-complicated and exposed yourself to risk. if you're gonna be putting money into something, just play it safe and don't try to be clever
Is this really relevant news for HN? I mean, I know we’re talking about a large tech company, but this feels pretty insignificant (just a marketing stunt, we already knew about his plans for Twitter). I feel like any other business doing that would be ignored on HN and rightly so.

Cool, I'll check it out.
I cannot figure out why LLMs are relevant to their solution. This whole thing comes down to a similarity search via vectors.

The LLM layer seems completely unnecessary. Why do you have a schema that requires an LLM to decide which column to query (which is the LLM's only unique value in this proposal)? Why are you not normalizing into a single column?

The reason I find it interesting as a prompt is precisely that; it's a statement where the statement and the subject of the statement are the same thing. A human can easily make that logical jump, but without being told how to do that (as your prompt does), it confuses the transformer in interesting ways.

On Clement St. here in SF I saw some posters plastered on the shutdown walgreens. I thought it was just some weird scam I never heard of. It felt fake. I'm kind of shocked to see its Altman's project.
It's not the whole picture, but it's far from useless. There are a myriad of different unemployment metrics. Some of them include people who have given up looking. However, all of these metrics are highly correlated. It's very rare for one to move without the others moving proportionally.

The labor force participation rate being down is just an indication that the population is aging and people are retiring. If you look at the prime age labor force participation rate, it's at the highest point in more than 20 years and very close to an all time high[1].

By that point, he'd already been CEO of PayPal for a bit (after co-founding X.com that merged into the company that became PayPal) and made $175M for his stake when eBay bought it.

Then $100M went to found SpaceX.

But that does seem like a very large bet that millionaires don't often make.

US support was always predicated on "they're on our side against the Soviets, and their enemies are definitely siding with them". Even then, it was always strained (they painted over their plane's markings and bombed one of our ships, ffs).

Ignoring the recent shenanigans, the Russians are a non-issue and the Israelis aren't much helping with that anyway. I have no idea why support continues. It's difficult to formulate an explanation that doesn't come off as whackjob conspiracy-theorist.

As for a "two-state solution"... it was never much of a solution for the Israelis. The other state soon outnumbers them, and they're right back to where they were in the 1960s, but with fewer options and less advantage. Same but for details with a one-state solution. If they ever pretended to accept the two-state solution, it was only to string things along as much as possible. I'm not sure why anyone ever thought it was genuine.
You're probably right, but one caveat: this graph shows average hourly earnings, which may not account for inequality. If some percentage of the population has had their wages rise much faster than everyone else, it could be that most people have had their real wage decline, while the average is still above CPI growth.

Now that I think about it, it also tracks hourly earnings, and if a non-insignificant people work hourly, but have been scheduled less hours (due to automation, or reduced need for labor), then their hourly earnings may have gone up, but their take-home pay gone down.

If anyone has any statistics for either of these, that would be very useful.
I absolutely don't care about what's going on at Twitter, but, wow, the current owner like to spend very little time between announcing and shipping features!
Not necessarily, as is stated, not everyone will get the same 3 things. These things are more like the most solid anchor points you can find to orient yourself in the communicated material. Without some kind of stable hold on anything in my experience the whole talk just flys right out of my brain, even if I've taken longer notes.

I view this really as a trick for the more obtuse talks. I can fully take and benefit from notes on something i understand. But if i end up in a talk that is going to be beyond me, having the goal of not taking notes, but picking tidbits is often the only way to get anything out of it. If i take full notes i forget to listen as there's simply far too much to write down. If i take no notes, then after the next couple talks I've totally forgotten everything i "learned". If i take very few, short notes then i can still pay enough attention to try understanding but i also have a couple anchor points from which to remember the talk.

It's just a balancing act, especially when you're in a conference where you have to pick a new talk every 30 minutes for six hours a day for 4 days. It can get pretty ridiculous and having a better strategy than "just remember it" or "well write everything down" can be very useful when the most interesting talk to you is in the middle on day 3.

I fail to see how legality is relevant to the question of whether choosing to take a drug is choosing to become addicted.

But okay, what about cigarettes then? They're just as legal as nuts assuming you're an adult. Do you see a difference there?

Show HN: Kidovo, an Interactive YouTube for Kids
Hi All,

Excited to share Kidovo with you all after months of iterating & refining the product!

We got the idea looking at the crazy amount of time children in our families were spending on Youtube. After researching, we found that this was true for kids all around the world. We looked for alternate platforms that would promote cognitive development and provide a more productive entertainment for kids. We found a few of those platforms but none of those were as popular as Youtube. Our research led us to believe that it is because the platforms lack the amount of content that Youtube can provide, that keeps kids entertained across interests, video styles (animation, live action, mixed) as well as bring all their favorite characters on 1 platform.

We built Kidovo to be an interactive Youtube where we can bring the best kids' content creators and make their content interactive that will keep kids entertained as well as promote their cognitive development. We have a team of educators & parents in house who make the content interactive and recently started testing our AI (trained on the data created by educators & parents) that is assisting and speeding up the process of making content interactive. Kidovo is 100% ad free and certified COPPA compliant by kidSAFE: https://www.kidsafeseal.com/certifiedproducts/kidovo_app.htm....

The first version was launched ~8 months ago and since then we have refined the product based on feedback from a small set of parents & educators.

I would love for you all to try out our platform and share your valuable feedback. Some features worth highlighting:

- We have a mascot, Ovo the owl who will be kids' digital buddy and engage them.

- We have tried to personalize many aspects of the experience, including the fact that our mascot greets your child with the name that you enter. Further, the content is personalized based on age and hence we require parents to enter month & year of birth.

- We also have a unique feature where kids respond to questions from our mascot, Ovo the Owl with their voice and get realtime feedback. We have worked hard to get speech recognition working at acceptable accuracy for kids, but we're still tweaking it to make it better.

- We already have over 750 pieces of interactive content and we are adding around 30 new interactive videos every week. You can explore our content library without installing the app here: https://www.kidovo.com/content.

- Based on the answers that kids get right, our mascot provides encouragement & positive reinforcement and they win points that collect using which kids can customize aspects of the mascot.

- There is no ads or in app purchases, except for a subscription that we recently started testing. If you encounter the screen, feel free to press "Maybe Later" and you should be able to enjoy the app for 14 days without any interruption.
Yeah, Clinton-era restrictions classified certain encryption products as munitions.

That restriction lost in early appeals, but IIRC, it never made it to SCOTUS, as the tides changes and industry forced the government to relax the restriction somewhat (IIRC, some restrictions still apply, but not to what we'd consider "normal" encryption products).

Edit/Addition - also worth noting the target/subject of speech matters. Political speech is the most protected, with almost absolute protection.

And often missed by the general public - speech is protected only in the senes the government can't restrict it (without a very good reason), but that doesn't mean speech is free of consequences from the public.
I understand you may not be levying a criticism, and I don't mean to put words in your mouth because I know you didn't make the claim which is at issue, but it's difficult for me to read "he makes impulsive business decisions" as not being a criticism. Especially given the context, where a bunch of people are explicitly being critical.
Yep, I agree there needs to be a way to restart a product tour
Israeli here so this is my interpretation which is radically different to whatever you will read anywhere else. Bear with me.

Israel occupied territories as part of a war in 67 from Jordan. It wanted parts of that land which made sense as it was a very thin border so the liberal party started settling there. However, Israel never annexed those areas and kept them occupied. Why?

Because then the millions of Palestinians living there would get Israeli citizenship and voting rights. This is good and bad. It's good because "supposedly" Israel will give them independence one day. It's bad because it's really a dirty trick. Israel used Jewish settlements where the settlers did have citizenship to slowly grab lands while keeping the Palestinians under marshal law. Yes, there are nuances but that's the gist, 3 million people under marshal law yet Israel still calls itself a democracy.

How come?

The supreme court which is supposedly independent and a very strong human rights law. But both were used as a mask to whitewash the fact that it's been decades with no progress...

The right wing wants to annex these areas. This would be legal. But it doesn't want to give the Palestinians Israeli citizenship, that would be VERY illegal and is considered insane. Even the problematic supreme court that we have wouldn't let that happen. That's why they need to destroy it.

In the meantime, our prime minister (AKA crime minister) is pretty corrupt. Not an unusual sight around here. He's on trial but refuses to abdicate, his solution is to burn the courts to the ground so he doesn't go to jail.

They are doing this one piece at a time so people don't see what they're doing, but effectively they're removing the power of the courts and they plan to install their own judges. Effectively eliminating any oversight since we have only one house of parliament.
Genetic assimilation is a concept that has been well confirmed and is not really controversial among biologists:

https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.12348

If you're concerned about a mechanism, then here are more details which were too complex to put in the video, but in retrospect with many people dubious, I should have indeed provided a more in depth explanation:

I got my biology education at the University of Melbourne if that's an unimaginably bad institution to you. Many many biologists and philosophers are very interested in biological agency as a phenomena, discussed in this review here:

IMO, that's outdated advice from the days before online automatic bookkeeping, before credit card transactions were immediately visible online, before your bank could auto-classify your credit card purchases into spending categories, before configurable spending alerts, before budgeting apps with bank integration, etc.

If you spend cash, you don't benefit from any of that and as soon as you forget about the transaction, it's like it never happened. Nothing will be able to help you retrospectively see where your cash is going. You can lie to yourself about it. Charges on a card statement don't lie.

I really like using Mermaid to create state diagrams. I'd been looking for a tool like it for quite some time, and I think it slipped under my radar because it's more focused on sequence / flow diagrams and doesn't hype its state diagram capabilities as much. Using a text-based tool for this is so much better than my previous workflow of Visio or Powerpoint.
As close to it as you can get.

i love mermaid but i find sequence diagrams too thin on information, a graph view always feels like the right amount of data

Obviously you pay cash so it doesn't affect your social credit score.

I always pay cash at the bar- it's an easy way to realize you're spending too much compared to just opening a tab. Plus you don't get stuck closing out if you wait too long.
> He made electric cars sexy. They were decidedly unsexy before he bought Tesla.

What Musk did was show the oil addicted automakers that EV's are both practical to manufacture and own. Using the word sexy to describe machinery and inanimate objects in general is just weird and I consider it the peak of marketoid speak.
Ugh, why is this an academic paper? Isn't that super obvious?
I can easily see both depending on how diligently people track their spending. I have a budgeting system setup that adds a task to my daily to-do list if my bank balance differs from what is in my hledger files (ie if I have transactions in my bank account that I have not yet put into hledger). The chances of me not being aware of on-card spending is extremely low. Cash money is not tracked nearly as accurately though, I don't bother tracking it when I spend a few euro on some sandwich from a roadside stall.

Also people less likely to assume its the brand for a pornography site? Feel like people have developed a habit of avoiding (or seeking out) anything with a prominent "X" in the name on the Internets.
Y'all are trying to make fun of this, but it's really a brilliant tactical move. Think about it; Musk desperately needs to flip Twitter, and this branding change both makes the site much more attractive for a potential buyout from a porn company, and also lowers the valuation of Twitter even further to the point where it's probably within range for a decently sized porn company to buy.
Use briar [1] for online+offline end-to-end encrypted messaging. Use LineageOS [2] without gapps (aka without Google Play Services) and get a device that is officially supported with current LineageOS version. Don't use any XDA developer builds, because they're known to be infected with malware.

Obviously don't use Meta or Google apps, because that's where the backdoors are for governments. Don't use WhatsApp, don't use Telegram, don't use Threema. They're compromised.

Use AppWarden [3] to enable/disable/verify the usage of known trackers in your apps.

Use NetGuard [4] as an Android firewall.

Use F-Droid [5] and Fennec builds [6], with uBlock Origin to protect your smartphone from malvertisements.

Never synchronize your contacts, block contacts access for all Apps; and make sure you don't use their real names. Contacts stored on or accessed by SIM cards (e.g. call history) can be downloaded via Class 0 SMS, remotely.

If possible, I'd avoid MediaTek based SoCs because their rootkit was leaked a couple years ago and it works still on newer chipsets. I would recommend an "as open source as possible" device, like the Google Pixel devices or the Fairphones.

On your Desktop or Laptop machines you should switch to a Linux distro of your choice. The most reasonable secure ones are Arch (not beginner friendly), Manjaro, OpenSUSE - or as a beginner friendly alternative - LinuxMint.

Would advise against Debian/Ubuntu though for security reasons (which would include LinuxMint).

The Arch maintainers (and therefore Manjaro, too) heavily reduced the attack surface of SUID binaries or LOL binaries that could be abused for privilege escalations and/or remote exploits/persistence etc. [7]

I wouldn't mind the $8 per month for a platform I use frequently if I get some nice benefits in usage and this enhances the quality of the platform. It is a bit naive to think such a service could be obtained for free.

However, beyond the general development Twitter has taken since Musk took over and especially how the premium memberships were rolled out - the conflation of paying for the account with being verified has killed that as an option for me. Nowadays the blue mark rather is an anti-pattern to many. This is what you get when you sell "reputation".

If you're accruing massive debt attending college, you're doing it wrong. Community colleges and state schools exist. You can work part-time during school too. Its like buying anything - there's a spectrum of cost. You don't need the $60k/year school.

Also, if anything, the education system is contributing to our future idiocracy - esp. the public school system, which is a complete and utter failure.
