It's possible in a "anything could happen" kind of way, but given that Musk has repeatedly and brazenly lied about pretty much everything I'm not sure why anyone would give him the benefit of the doubt for a claim he needs to prove.

What is market power & what is high risk?

Could high risk be the ability to monitor heart rate, or control motors? Could it be example code for those abilities that make them liable?

If RaspberryPi or Alphabet releases an educational board for experimenters but has features that could be used in a way that is considered high risk and if they are considered market powers, should they keep it from interested people because they can't fully disclaim liability?

How much should they reduce their feature set so that it doesn't tangentially run into this law. Can they just disable that part of the code, or would they run into the same problem as the GTA Hot Coffee case if it isn't gutted enough.

While it has good intentions, it will likely backfire some way as the lists of prohibited things grow or the market power clauses are reinterpreted to be applied to a wider range and smaller targets.

Looks like I submitted a related link, but not the best one. There are some workarounds [1], but it's frustrating that Samsung has decided to no longer support non-Galaxy Book devices, even for just viewing and not editing notes.

Well it is clear from the video what is was used for: nothing. The boss who had it built because of complex WWII history never actually got to use it. What the vision for it was though is unclear.
On the other hand, look at Korea. In hindsight it seems pretty clear that it was a huge loss to humanity that the US didn't push further north.

And of course, look at Afghanistan today.
There's also the separate evolutionary axis of how the beetle behaves: they learned to seek out termites and collect food from them, exposing themselves to quick lynching if the disguise fails.

It's easy to imagine intermediate states where mediocre disguises work some of the time and the beetle is cautious because it occasionally needs to run away.
Generally when I've seen cultural revolution being used it has been in reference to the 60s or similar, but upon searching you are definitely correct; I just wasn't aware of that. There's still a lot of history I've yet to learn about.
I'm surprised to see Starfield on sale on Slickdeals.
Is the game not doing well?
Yes, this is an outlier and it took around 8 years for this to be emerge and be detected by the community run TTN mapper initiative. The main fun thing about this is more that it shows how cool it is to have a global community network where we enjoy sending messages for the sake of it just to learn technology. Like kids with 2 cans and a string between them.
I mean Redhat is already FIPS compliant, and there are things like CMMC.

Monoliths have advantages except in that they also invite complexity (they do not necessitate it) when there's no clear interface between components. Even with interfaces, any empirically observable behavior can become a kind of contract - so nothing is perfect here.

Microservices seem to serve Conway's Law more than anything else I can understand. Groups want to have scoped projects, and a bubble within which to work and validate what they do. But microservices seem to potentially hinder system-wide traceability, system-wide debugability and performance.

Modularity eschews one class of problems for another. Both monolithic and modular designs require discipline to keep things manageable, and they're not the same kind of discipline or maturity.
dealing with the gate keeping often costs more in dev time then just approving. Especially when the DevOps think they know better - thank goodness a tech director can step in and bust the impasse.
As I said: it is/feels like a sketch. The prose (often) reads like notes which should be rewritten, and filled with depth, and life. Also the story is bad, there is too much "deus ex machina". Also no characters one can relate to. Sounds like you read a totally different book than me :P.

If I had read it and the Dune without knowing their authors, I could not have told them they were written by the same person. Especially not that it was written after the Dune, where he has proved he can write well.
Why did the moderator remove the distance? That is like the main fun message.

A bit frightening considering how many national and world leaders study there.
Most ruthless kings maintained their power. Once AI is implemented in mechanical devices police killbots will stop any resistance before it even begins.
It’s not scary, at least not in the United States:*

Litigating class actions is quite expensive. The for-profit nature is by design: it’s the potential for a large fee award that incentivizes class counsel to pursue these claims.

The individual claims are typically too small or speculative for individuals to spend money hiring lawyers of their own. Without this system, there would effectively be very little incentive for companies to refrain from violating large numbers of people in small ways. You might think this is the job of the government, but consider the resources it would take to effectively police every company sticking its hands into every one of the billions of cookie jars that exist. The fact is, governments can’t and don’t pursue most civil violations. Class actions are a kind of “market-based” solution. While imperfect, they do serve an important function.

And of course, you can always opt out if you want to sue on your own (or you just want the company to get away with it?).

Depends if the capital cost of the increased manufacturing capacity is worth it to make up for lost winter production. I'm not all that convinced.

Also consider the workforce differences too, since presumably this would also need to be on leave for a portion of the year.
Unless the alternative is even more corrupt?

Could be the lesser of two evils.
For 3 years, when confronted with such a scenario, the people in my life who dislike QR codes have theatrically said something like "what are these stupid computer squares! I want a paper menu damn it!" Whereupon the staff and I share a knowing look, everyone rolls their eyes, and a paper menu is brought forth.
We use both Dependabot and CLA Assistant on one of our projects. It's an easy setting in CLA Assistant to whitelist Dependabot, although it did catch us out in the beginning.
Because they have tried it and failed. There was this whole massive push for outsourcing to India in the 90s and 00s. Customers hated it, communication suffered, and more problems were created than solved. It’s why there has been a massive on-shoring of things like call centers to LCOL parts of the US.
See, Dosadi is one of my favorite books. It's not perfect by any means but a concentrate of Herbert tropes with interesting plot lines. Like most Herbert it's very much for a young adult / adolescent public (this not being a negative, it's pretty thin on many axes, focused on delivering the tropes in a enthusiastic way). The other Herbert 'destination, jesus' book cycle is harder to swallow though.
The computational explanation would hold that there is some specific computation that can be identified as what we call consciousness. This would be equivalent to how we say that a specific computation is what we call "sorting".

It's not a gradualist notion. A computation either is or isn't consciousness. If it is, then an agent which is currently performing that computation is conscious. If an agent is performing a computation that is not consciousness is not conscious.

Similarly, certain computations represent a sort. Agents which are performing that computation are sorting. The clearest case is a computer running a sort algorithm, but there are also purely physical processes that perform the same computations, and animals or people that do it - so "agent" here is a very broad term. Agents which are performing a computation that is not a sort are not sorting.

Of course, determining which computation is actually consciousness is a very difficult problem, well beyond our current knowledge. As such, it is also obvious that it may turn out that this is not a correct model. But I don't see why this would be considered a ridiculous model of what consciousness means. It is also a model which can, in principle, be falsified, and it could actually help resolve certain difficult real-world problems. For example, if we did have a satisfying definition of which computations represent consciousness, we could then use it to determine at which point a child becomes conscious, or whether a particular animal is conscious or not (assuming we consider that conscious === should not be killed arbitrarily, which is a completely different debate).

By contrast, panpsychism doesn't really resolve anything and can't be used to determine the answer to this type of moral question even in principle (if any system is somewhat conscious, then even swiveling my chair means that I am destroying a conscious system; but also creating another one).
Not all the time. Many keywords were a shortcut into a curated multimedia portal inside AOL. It could be equivalent to a web site for a brand, but could also be a more general area inside AOL with related articles, chat rooms, etc on that topic. More like opening a magazine than running a web search or typing a URL.
Orson Welles couldn't get his movies funded. Van Gogh never sold a painting. Mozart was near broke most of his career. The list of great artists who struggled to fund/sell and generally make a living off their work is so long it's a cliche.

It can take a generation or several for this kind of work to matriculate into greater culture. Their value is immeasurable and uncapturable. Artistic and cultural works precede market economies by tens of thousands of years.

I'm surprised people still use LinkedIn, in spite of knowing how scummy they are. I deleted my account long ago, just prior to the time they got sued for spamming people (and even deleting my account didn't stop the invite spam, so I had to block the domain). But every now and then I stumble upon a LinkedIn profile (when I'm looking up people via a Google search or something) and it's always shocking to see how much info people are sharing willingly - from their profile picture, to their entire work history, all the connections they have - all visible without even needing to login. It's basically Facebook-level of personal detail, minus the drunk and embarrassing photos.

I can understand "normies" using LinkedIn because they don't know any better, but it shocks me that even the so-called privacy conscious and techy people like the ones here on HN are actively supporting such a shitty organization - the same people who wouldn't hesitate to criticize Meta for their privacy violations.
Like privacy? Then smart devices are a dumb idea
Don't focus too much on the word "internet" - it didn't mean to people what it does today.

Imagine if AOL had existed in an "always online" world and built an OS instead of an application. In fact, just imagine a computer that booted directly into AOL, where you could download and manage apps but never delete the "AOL" part.

Isn't Apple's iOS just an abstraction of the environment AOL sought to build - a portal they controlled in between customers and companies to allow and manage exclusive services, media, and (DRM'd) purchases?

Well I assume that the end-to-end encryption is honoured, and the message is not parsed in any way at either end. I also assume that the end-to-end reference is between your phone and the phone of the intended recipient, and not between your phone and the server routing the message. I don't have access to the source so I don't have any way to prove that, but with the objections by Facebook/Whatsapp/Meta to breaking the encryption this seems to be the case.

No, the data-mining with these apps is in your list of contacts. Whatsapp takes these and builds you into a network. Its not what you say, it is who you are talking to and when. That is valuable.

When you sign up, you up load your contacts to Whatsapp. If you try to prevent it, it will insist and not work until you do. You can try to clear down your contacts and sign up without any. However, it will still take your number and look it up in the contacts of all those who have your number. It now has your name and any details your contacts have chosen to keep about you.
"Specifically, the DSPy compiler will internally trace your program and then craft high-quality prompts for large LMs"

I'm having trouble understanding the value provided here.

A prompt is a string. Why abstract that string away from me like this?

My instinct is that this will make it harder, not easier, for me to understand what's going on and make necessary changes.
I would believe it. I recently logged out of facebook on each device and took a month long timeout. After a couple of weeks, I started getting facebook email notifications of things they figured I'd want to see. With the impossible to remove/hide facebook reels nonsense they force on users, I'm about to take a much longer facebook timeout.
How exactly do you "end" the contract? Part of the deal with contracts is you don't just get to back out whenever you feel like it.

Seems as though Chicago would be better off tying pensions for politicions to city financial stability so that they have some motivation to ensure money is wisely spent.
I think what makes Disco Elysium stand out is how much it encourages playing a quirky character.

It's possible to play a "boring cop" or a "sorry cop". But the game portrays that the character you're playing was ... not really that.
"I agree, but it could be that they need to focus all their resources to take on google with any chance of success."

Why?
What does this even mean?

I have no idea what it means to "focus all their resources" or why it's important.

The antitrust division of the DOJ alone has 380 attorneys (900 people total), and that is before you get into the fact that they also will contract with outside firms, etc.

This is 10x the size of the average large law firm's entire antitrust practice area. Probably 20x a lot of the time.

They can easily run multiple large tech cases at once.

FTC is 2x as large (it has 750 attorneys total)

"It could also very well be that the other big companies alter their behavior in response to the now real threat of anti-trust enforcement."

This didn't happen at all when MS was taken out.
Or AT&T
Or ...

So this seems like a pipe dream.
Perhaps we're seeing a watershed moment for western culture.

I hope the US government feeling ready to take on Google is merely a
symptom of a broader sea-change.

The problem is not one player like Google getting too big as a
business. Monopolies naturally arise and get cut down, as often by
markets than regulation.

The change is that we must challenge the very idea that it's
acceptable for one way of being , whether technology, platform,
protocol, or practice to become a de-facto norm - and radically exclude
all others.

Mono-culture is in the crosshairs now, not monopoly.

And that applies to the enforced "cashless society", effectively
mandated smartphone use, single strong identity systems , cloud
everything and app everything, and so on...

Mono-cultures, whether in digital tech or banana crops, never end
well. Lack of plurality is antithetical to long-term resilience and a
healthy democracy and society.

If this hastens us toward a car-less future, maybe it will turn out for the better. Probably won't do that though, probably will just fleece those already dependent on cars.
This question confuses me. Are we really in a year where people don't know you can securely encrypt email within an organization? This is a solved problem, and it's been solved for decades.

It's confusing because you nailed "Plain-text emails" but completely ignored signed, encrypted emails for some reason.
This is great, really appreciate your insight as you seem to have good experience with both.
Indeed. I realized this also when I couldn’t find anywhere in the article that they also made chatgpt public because they needed new volumes of data training.

Trying to paint it only as “but we wanted to prepare the world for our awesomeness” really gives half, if not less of the picture.

Defined benefit pensions have a simple fix. They should be illegal (along with all other deferred compensation schemes) for taxpayer funded entities.

The moral hazard of letting today’s voters and today’s politicians and today’s senior government employees (the union leaders) steal from taxpayers 30 years in the future is obvious.

Not to mention it is all going into the same SP500 anyway, so just cut out the middleman and moral hazard, and give everyone a Fidelity/Vanguard/Schwab 401k and let them buy the SP500/target date retirement fund they want.

Having a lien on future taxpayers is literally the only difference between taxpayer funded defined benefit pension funds and 401K/IRA.
I know what he was trying to do - he was trying to move where he was making the hole so moving it was kind of pointless since the punch was just going to go into the same hole and move the base. And no, it wasn't in a hardy hole. It was just moving all over. If he didn't care where he was failing to make the hole it wouldn't have made sense to even try to move the die. You could see the punch going into the old hole even as he moved it over and just shift the whole thing.

The WD40 is just going to flash off as well, there probably would have been better lubricants even used motor oil. Just seemed like a sloppy bit of work for what was such a lauded blacksmith.
That sounds almost impossible to me. I feel like half of everything I purchase which has a manual doesn't ship with a physical manual, but instead comes with a printed QR code to "get instructions". If it's a gadget that comes with an App, there will be a QR code linking to that app.
I know multiple bars/ restaurants which won't send waiters to your table but expect you to scan the QR code on the table and order with your phone.
Hi. Just looking at the site. Under "adopted projects" you list Light Table. But the link just goes to the old, unmaintained repo. It would be great if you could also link to the maintained versions of repos.
I feel like theres a big opportunity to bring Tamagotchi back as a platform agnostic applet so you could have your Tamagotchi on Fitbit or other devices. There was something so weirdly, emotionally powerful about that toy.
More crucially, HR managers at a lot of startups now have apps that will notify them if you change basically _anything_ on your LinkedIn. I have a friend who took a part-time "CTO" position that was basically a very small startup trying to look better to investors and didn't involve any real work on his part beyond a weekly meeting, who was fired from his main gig _within minutes_ of him adding this line to his LinkedIn.

So yeah, I'm personally all for a LinkedIn replacement that lets the candidate specify broad permissions like "don't show this line to anyone affiliated with X". Heck, I'd even make one if I had the time.

The crash dumps, which redact sensitive information, should not include the signing key. In this case, a race condition allowed the key to be present in the crash dump (this issue has been corrected).

Can someone explain a bit about what kind of race condition this could be and how it exposes the signing key (in this case seems to be exposed without encryption)?
Thanks, this covers all the angles quite well. What would be the closest equivalent to Phoenix/liveview for Go (as in best django-like stack).
I'm close with someone whose FB account was compromised due to a shared password, and then didn't see the 'an email has been added/removed from your account' emails until after the revert link expired a few weeks later.

The recovery process is totally broken for them now. We eventually managed to revert back to the original email address by visiting facebook.com/hacked (not without the help of a weird youtube video to make sure we were selecting the right options, though), and we lost a ton of time on a weird issue where emails or recovery options were deeplinking to the app, which was opening but didn't know what to show us. After deleting the app, we managed to start generating 2-factor email codes, but the same prompts that generate them don't accept them. And the 'send in an ID to verify your identity' feature just doesn't load at all. I'm chipping away at it when I see them, but I give recovery a low probability of success.

Understandable that this is probably not very fair to those who can't afford it, but I wish there was a 'pay $100 to speak with a rep who can fix this now' feature.
Exa was a nonstarter for me because only LSD supports Windows. Which is unfortunate, as this is a big advantage of the Rewrite It In Rust trend.
not to argue your major point, but more entropy makes things more uniform/less complex. think of the heat death of the universe.
There's a reason why restaurants quickly returned to physical menus: most of their customers hated QR code menus and the restaurant business is extremely competitive so you have to be responsive to what customers want to stay in business.

It's only in markets that lack competition that a company can do unpopular changes that reduce its costs without losing customers. For example, stadiums all went cashless "for your safety" and then never brought cash back. Which they can do for the same reason they can charge $5 or more for a bottle of water: they're basically a monopoly with a large captive audience.
Never forget that the Covid relief bill from DC bailed out government pensions more so than small family run restaurants.
FWIW, my mileage definitely varied: autotools--which is quite easy if you bother to learn how it works and is then almost infinitely flexible--has pretty much never failed me (I think there was one incident for a while related to building stuff for iOS? regardless this was fixed long ago), but I have had to file and participate in a number of bugs on cargo, most of which are still open :/, and I haven't even developed anything in Rust myself yet... I've merely tried to compile and use stuff other people wrote and run into myriad ridiculous problems.
I think there is a valid meta question which is what would happen if Google Search stopped bringing in revenue tomorrow?

For example, would they attempt to exploit Android etc. even more?

On some level there is a case that their core vulnerability represents a major risk to them suddenly going full evil with everything in their strategic moat.
