I agree that it's really important to periodically check the pulse of where your team is at for stuff like this. I think part of the reason I lead the team I do is because I was encouraged to lean very hard into vanilla JS at the outset of my career and use tools sparingly. We're not nearly as "pure" as you state here, but I've been able to apply that experience to working with my team when it comes to discussing what we allow in and coaching them. It makes a big difference.
Yes. I'm curious why companies do it.

I never pushed back on it because I figured I'd just come across as a killjoy.

We haven't been able to generate 1,000 different forged variants of the same speech in a day before.

> We have certain publications and sources we trust, whether they're the NYT or a respected industry blog.

We can't even be sure that most of these aren't changing old stories, unless we notice and check archive.org, and they haven't had them deleted from the archive. The NYT has blockchain verification, but the reason nobody else does is because no one else wants to. They want to be free to change old stories.

I think framing it as a right is misleading. Working from home is simply a contract perk like compensation subject to contract negotiation.

It makes sense that workers would want it, just like they would want a 200% higher salary. Individuals with leverage or those in unions can negotiate for it and employers can come to agreements or not.
>His claim at least isn’t a blatant lie while yours clearly is

Let's see what Tao Lin has to say for himself about being "cured":

>Through nutrition, detoxification, exercise, writing (and other autism-friendly forms of self-expression), reading (allowing me to alleviate loneliness in private, without distress), cannabis, change-catalyzing psychedelics, meditation, and practice, I’ve become much less autistic since high school and college. I estimate I now range from 30 to 98 percent more autistic than my peers, depending on the hour, day, week, and month; every symptom varies, I’ve learned, depending on sleep, situation, inflammation levels, cultural consumption, mindset, and hundreds of other factors.

see: https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/xl952r/tao_lin...

Note he didn't say he was cured at all, he said he's "30 to 98 percent more autistic than my peers," and also said that a lot of his treatment wasn't dietary.

You might want to reflect on this a while. You introduced the idea of "lying" which isn't a generous way to interact with anyone. I'd suggest you consider giving others more of the benefit of the doubt. You're very wrong on multiple levels here, but I would never accuse you of lying, I believe you were just mistaken.

I'd also suggest you spend a while doing more investigation into the claim that there's a "cure" for autism. No experts believe this, and the reason is because not only is there no reason to believe such an thing exists (and no evidence), but the idea of a "cure" probably fundamentally misunderstands what autism is to the best of our current knowledge.
"Some claim that the death of targeted advertising is equivalent to the death of the ad-supported internet. This is a fallacy. Ad value is not intrinsically tied to the extraction of personal data."

IAPP is not HN. The organisation predates this forum. It is not comprised of consumer privacy activists or anyone with "disdain for AdTech". Quite the opposite. It's focused on corporate compliance.

People outside of HN are quite capable of seeing through bogus arguments put forth by so-called "tech" companies and their service providers. The later a group that sees licentious, surreptitous data collection as a "business model".

Yes, that's true, but that would require a shift in our understanding of physics and everything about this saga so far has not done that. And that in part is a reason why people take this serious: it is believable. New physics would raise the bar considerably.

So for now I'm on the measuring error, impurity or process issue side of that without committing to which team I think has the problematic side.
I don't think you can patent a material, just the methods you use to produce it. And if this is the real thing, there are probably dramatically more efficient ways to produce than this first step.

While we need better consumer protections forcing full refunds when you try to defraud a company doesn't make sense either.

Sure there is the potential that this poster was innocent but Apple's fraud division certainly isn't missing all of its bans...

BTW you can thank credit card companies for these scorched earth policies. You can't accept credit cards unless you keep your fraud count below a certain threshold.

This was because Visa et al never developed anti fraud techniques in the pre-internet era and realized it was easier to just ban anyone with too much fraud.
Condensers is an interesting concept and one that is IMO sorely needed in many dev environments (to wit, the amount of work that has been put in Zig to get the compile-time language to be as powerful and compatible as possible with the real thing, and the giant PITB that is doing these kind of things in e.g. C++)

The question of the role of the atomic bombs in compelling Japanese surrender is one that is still debated among historians to this day, and will continue to be debated for as long as I live.

The indisputable fact is that Japan had thoroughly lost the war at that point--it was either losing or had already completely lost in every theater. I tend to think that the atomic bombs played a big role in the decision to surrender in that it showed that the Americans were capable of devastating entire cities with a single bomber: air defenses are unlikely to score any hits against a single bomber unlike a large fleet of bombers carpet bombing cities into oblivion, robbing Japan even of the chance to die in a blaze of glory.

But this also raises a tricky moral question. The decision to end a war is not made by the victor but by the loser. What should you do if the loser refuses to admit the loss?
mostly cartoneros recycle what the biz refers to as corrugated fiberboard, which most people call cardboard in english. it's made of paper and glue

there are different kinds of paper, which require different recycling streams; cartoneros will accept some others but not all

your talk about 'losing the thread' makes me think you are playing some kind of game where the objective is not to find out what the truth is but to sound convincing even if what you are saying is false

i am not playing that game. as far as i'm concerned, it's up to you to find out the truth, or not, not up to me to shove it down your throat, though i'm happy to provide relevant information

i am aware that in the usa recycling, even fake recycling, is heavily subsidized. that's why i was providing information about what happens in places where subsidies for recycling are scarce to nonexistent. almost nobody recycles plastic here (except for small programs that are subsidized and do things like recycle polypropylene bottlecaps), and only big operators recycle steel. but paper — specifically the kind of paper that corrugated fiberboard is made of — is abundantly recycled; it's not nearly as remunerative as brass, copper, aluminum, or lead, but it's the bread and butter of the cartoneros because people discard it in much higher volumes

i don't think it pays anywhere close to US$75 per tonne though, maybe a tenth of that

It's in Vue, and surface ui. There's also a pending @scope keyword coming to CSS in the near future.

I'd expect most component frameworks to have some equivalent version of this. In svelte, it's the default; all style tags written inside a component are scoped to said component.

You can largely achieve scoping manually if you have to, via nesting, which recently landed in CSS.

The concept of hidden files lurking within a repository, even after deletion, is both intriguing and concerning.

Thanks for the comment and glad it's useful! Agreed - I love the flexibility to talk to it like it's almost just another human, but with vast knowledge. Okay - that makes sense - I can look into adding some more of the raw transcript. Thanks for the feedback.

It needs a "Processing..." notification, I clicked "Start conversation" and it takes a while before it says anything. Same with "Start speaking" -> I said something, then clicked "Stop speaking" but the page seemed unresponsive. I repeated it, and when the transcript appeared I ended up answering the question, getting another question, and repeating the first answer.

Also after 3-4 sentences the questions got a bit "dull-person-at-a-party" small-talk... "What are you doing today?" / "I'm programming." / "What programming language are you learning?" / [I didn't say I was learning...] "Java." / "Oh, interesting. Java is a popular programming language. What do you like about Java?".

My father got hacked and lost access to his Apple account. The hacker proceeded to delete the account and tried to take control of his devices.

At no moment Apple sent an email to my father to confirm anything. Once the account was deleted, there was nothing Apple could or would do. Everything was lost.

Taking control of the devices back was quite the odyssey as Apple required invoices and whatnot.

Largely depends on the existing culture of the company imo. I imagine in some climates it might come off as tone-deaf or degrading, whereas in others it might feel unifying or endearing.

Dresden was as legitimate a target as any other city. Its factories made, among other things, precision optics for bomb sights.

More than likely there is only one interesting material in this specific composition. But understanding the phenomenon we are observing in this material can potentially lead to the development of other materials which display these characteristics, and tune those to function in this way at specific temperature/pressure situations. If we develop efficient ways to produce these materials in bulk (which is orders of magnitude more complicated than just characterizing what we see here) it would be unimaginably revolutionary. But the energy required to do this at scale will likely require our civilization to utilize orders of magnitude more energy, so if this is practical for our daily lives on a wide scale I believe it's development will be contingent on harnessing fusion. Otherwise it will be limited to only the most extreme use cases in the way superconductors are currently used now.

> One way ticket to an ideological bubble.

I believe this is the intention. The people doing the most censoring in the name of "safety and security" are just trying to build a moat where they control what LLMs say and consequently what people think, on the basis of what information and ideas are acceptable versus forbidden. Complete control over powerful LLMs of the future will enable despots, tyrants, and entitled trust-fund babies to more easily program what people think is and isn't acceptable.

The only solution to this is more open models that are easy to train, deploy locally, and use locally with as minimal hardware requirements as is possible so that uncensored models running locally are available to everyone.

And they must be buildable from source so that people can verify that they are truthful and open, rather than locked down models that do not tell the truth. We should be able to determine with monitoring software if an LLM has been forbidden from speaking on certain subjects. This is necessary because of things like what another comment on the thread was saying about how the censored model gives a completely garbage, deflective non-answer when asked a simple question about which corpus of text (the Bible) has a specific quote in it. With monitoring and source that is buildable locally and trainable locally, we could determine if a model is constrained this way.
I don't think you should be able to, but there is this story that I read a while ago that makes it seem like you can:
