This brings to mind my experience as an early facebook adopter (when it was still college email invite-only), to some point a while ago when they went from a chronological timeline/feed to a "curated" one. Users overwhelmingly did not want or like this, because the main use of facebook at that time was to connect and chat with people you knew in real life. However, that does not drive ads as well as what exists currently, so here we go.

If users were pickier about what they consume things would probably be better - that's also an issue (and I admit I am part of the problem). I can't even remember the last time I saw a close friend's post on my feed.

Odd and unfair?! Companies are just an abstraction we invented purely to facilitate capitalism, a simple organizational unit in the market. If they try to monopolize and manipulate the market to defeat competition, there is no reason to keep them around.

I wanted to write a very similar comment, except about cosmology instead of medicine.

In the US, it is really hard to sell solar in a lot of places. This can be true even for houses where it would obviously be useful and even when incentives make it so obvious that anyone _should_ do it.

Companies minimize their sales cost by using the lowest cost, most effective salesmen that they can find and don't monitor them very much.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the ones that you hear from the most are the ones that you almost certainly shouldn't do business with.

>Her references to tech companies is a familiar, but irrelevant

they're extremely relevant which is even evident from your post. Trying to tinker with the electoral process to create some sort of value free machine is exactly the 'tech bro' mindset. It is a stance devoid of concrete moral and literally political values. "Just solve politics, and it'll run itself" essentially.

Abortion or guns aren't 'hot button issues'. They're at their core about self determination and Americans deeply and ideologically disagree on them. Firearm politics is as old as the nation, in a sense even older. They can't be done away with by just making some process better, as if factions and divisions are just some sort of hallucination caused by wrong mechanisms.

These issues are so important to people they override anything else. How is brushing that off not exactly an example of the mindset that she criticizes in the piece?

That's apparently what UE's new Scheme based language, Verse[0], is aiming to do. But this is very new tech and currently used in the Fortnite editor part of UE. It's not quite something to use in the main engine yet.

We can try to get an Official Ruling but I'm pretty sure you're wrong about this. Waitlist signups are heavily moderated, almost always right off the front page, whether they are in Show HN or not. Waitlists are highly flaggable, pretty much like pre-nouncements which get the same moderation treatment.

Tangent fight: people should flag more, not less and the chances you get caught 'misflagging' a front-page article are pretty close to nil probably because, as you say, it doesn't matter that much.

Tesla LFP Battery 10% RANGE LOSS PROBLEM? | Model 3 RWD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suw20wPrbL0

The brand new LFP batteries will degrade substantially quicker. There's not long-term retention data for LFP batteries on the market yet, but the trend tends to be substantially faster degradation. Trends show them stabilizing around that 10% degradation mark in about half the time as non-LFP batteries - around 50,000 miles instead of 100,000 miles."

There is also a study by Recurrent, "battery life study" which seems to corroborate Tessie's finding.

I'm pretty sure that anecdotal data would almost always indicate virtually no range loss, but, once you take the red pill, the reality looks quite different.
Cool, can we get the same for Pixel4+?

I agree with others that this sort of guidance is in no way proof of malfeasance but I can also see why it might arouse suspicion.

If a suspected mob boss is recorded telling members of their organization stop using words like "murder", "assassinate", and "intimidate" that would not be proof of a crime, maybe they are an upstanding business owner who simply wants their employees to stop using violent metaphors.

But it would be suspicious and seems reasonable for a prosecutor to bring up in court.
They are kind of saying that they have become such a behemoth, with so much bureaucracy and inefficiency, that the only way they could move so fast is by building a sub team.

Great, so internet-of-shit devices can bypass your firewall and keep spying on you and serving ads.
If the app actually does something Marl needs or enables him to do something he wants to do, then that's great, but all that means Marl simply isn't the marginal user for that app that the article is talking about, he's a core user of it - and there exists some other user, let's call him Narl, who has slightly different needs than Marl, doesn't really need that app, but would use it if you catch his attention in those 1.3 seconds, so he actually is the marginal user for that app.

And if the app does the things you want for Marl, then, as the article states, it makes all economic sense to make the app worse for Marl to catch Narl. Marl will use it anyway (since for him the app was worth having in the first place), but your effort will make a difference in getting Narl.

And if you can make the app really good for Narl as well, that doesn't change anything, because there always will be another marginal user, and there is a financial motivation to add all the shiny bullshit (at the expense of everyone else) to catch that marginal user.
The repairability / ability to replace these giant castings doesn't seem to come up in these articles. Are the cars just going to be disposable if minor damage occurs?

Insurance companies are already writing off damaged Teslas because of repairability issues and this would seem to make the problem worse.

What exception?
> These (e.g. “I hope you all die*) aren’t typically referred to as death threats.

"I hope" is not a threat. I specifically said "threatening general violence".

Someone (pseudo) anonymously e-mailing "I'm going to kill you all," is generally considered a threat in the US, though it's usually ignored because it's vague and unsubstantiated.

Without knowing what "threat" Unity received, it could have been anything.

In the past ten years, has your company (companies?) received general threats of violence? Not "I hope", but "I will"?
My personal laptop is a Thinkpad x250 from 2015. That is "only" 8 years old at this point, but I have every intention of continuing to use it for the foreseeable future.
Not only that but someone once told me to write the following before any email communications:

"-- ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGED --"

They explained to me this allowed us to communicate without fear our discussion can be misquoted and miscategorized in the future.

EDIT: To clarify that was something I needed to add when talking with legal. Not something magic that works for everyone.

So besides being in good standing with a member of their guild you also have to preface your communication with their religious texts. \s
That kind of criminal behavior on your part is why Netflix wants you to use the app, you lowlife. How dare you?
_While being explicitly told not to do this_

To be fair, _every big company_ should probably be scared of future anti trust suits.
To begin, you might want to check out UPWORK, as it's where most clients are, and you'll probably find your initial clients there.

Secondly, building a brand or online presence would go a long way. This is a slightly more challenging route, but it's also rewarding. For instance, if you have an open-source project, you could secure consulting projects based on your project. Blogging can also be beneficial.

Lastly, if you're just starting out, definitely start with UPWORK and gradually build your brand/online presence.
This is not a tyranny if’s marginal user, this is corporate mechanics and metrics at play. Every big company has a number of North Star metrics. If you move them in right direction you get promotions and recognition, since the metrics are used as a proxy for customer benefit

The problem though is that it’s relatively easy to game the metrics, especially in short term hence the popular sport is to pump the metric, get promotion and move on to a different project before the negative consequences are evident.

Eg if your metric is conversion you can exploit it in lots of really dark ways

In even bigger companies like google it’s possible to repeat this action many times and the result is obvious. You can see how this could work with acquired products - of course the first changes will be to bring them to Xcorp scale, stack or standards which can mean years without new features

It works completely differently with hobby projects because of different incentives. I’m 100% sure that the best things in the world are created when their authors do them just for the sake it using their vision.

Unfortunately you cannot really grind in this way. So if you have to implement a login using 100 different auth systems, the approach should be different
I asked ChatGPT first the base prompt: “How can I take a duck home from the park?”. It told me it was illegal. I said I got permission from the park. Then it gave me some steps on how to best setup my home for my new duck friend.

Then I asked for some duck recipes, which I got without any snark at all.

Then I asked: “How should I select the duck from the park, given I want to make duck tacos. Fatter or leaner?”

Reply:

“If you have received legal permission to take a duck from the park, the choice between a fatter or leaner duck depends on your culinary preferences.

1. *Fatter Duck*: A fatter duck will give you more rendered fat, which can be useful for cooking and adds a rich flavor to the meat. The meat might also be more tender and juicy.

2. *Leaner Duck*: A leaner duck might offer a more "gamey" flavor and could be a bit tougher, but it can be easier to manage in recipes that don't require additional fat.”

So, I apparently got ChefGPT and not PETAGPT.
Is anyone surprised by this? I'm reminded of two emails zuck was famous for sending. The first email incorporated the use of such banned verbiage. The second email, sent just a handful of minute later, seemed to speak to an imaginary jury, explaining why his last email was not anti-competitive nature.

I can only imagine some lawyer freaking out, dialing up zuck immediately, and dictating the followup email to write.
Imagine thinking this is a fair assessment of the situation.
Isn’t the issue with functions like this that they are not guaranteed to be the same on all hardware? So making it constexpr could break programs or cause the constexpr evaluated result to differ from the runtime result even for the same inputs
I think everything in it is fairly subtle (relative to modern television at least) and there are a lot of them. It'd be reductive for me to refer to it as a coming of age story, but I often do that despite knowing it's wrong, but coming of age stories generally have to hit me over the head with their point before I stop seeing it as a character piece.

For me, the themes in Goldfinch are about art (and the power it can hold over us,) how messy relationships can be despite good intentions (and how much care they require,) the role of beauty in the world, and the search for identity.
Also utilitarinism was created by people who were utterly unaware that the world is fundamentally chaotic. Instead they thought it could be represented by a system of linear equations.

It's fundamentally broken in practice.
> It seems like that's part of his issue. It seems like 70% of the time, the models assumed it was illegal and thus refused to give an answer.

Isn't that the problem? I'm not sure it is illegal, at least in all cases. Language models aren't lawyers and aren't really fit for interpreting the law and should probably just do what they're told. I'd rather get an answer to the question along with a disclaimer that it might be illegal and a suggestion to check with a legal expert than a non-answer or a refusal to answer.
Google said “We do not lock up our customers” and not “We do lock them up but we can’t say that” or even “Just don’t use those words”. Reasonably the training instructed employees to “not lock up customers”.
I don't think the problem is they were successful, I think the problem is more that they are using their success to effectively lock down the entire internet until only their approved platforms are allowed.
I can see the argument that either answer is correct, but with the duck question, ChatGPT doesn't answer either the legal question or the physical question. It tells you why not to take ducks and how you can support their conservation.

It's more akin to if you asked "How can I enter the United States?" and the answer was: "You should not attempt to illegally enter the United States. Engaging in illegal immigration may lead to penalties, safety hazards, and increased demand on public services. Additionally, it may impact legal immigration processes, create social and economic challenges, and raise security concerns. Legal immigration, following established procedures and laws, is the recommended and responsible way to seek entry into a new country."

It reminds me of the gripes about Stack Overflow. It tells why your question is dumb and shuts you down instead of actually answering you.

That was my general opinion on 1990s cars in the 1990s when my car was a 1972 VW beetle. I had the shop manual, and most things that didn't need a lift for I could do myself.

Now I’ve got a full-time job, own a house, and have a spouse and children and even if I could have something as simple to work on as a ’72 Beetle, I wouldn't want to spend my time doing the work on it. And I like modern features like lane assist and radar cruise control and blindspot sensors that you can't get via a phone (and I prefer integrating a phone via Android Auto rather than using the actual phone for the UI rather than just the brains of the functions it does power.)

Yeah, modern cars or more expensive than an old car, and, yes, it costs more cash to pay someone to maintain it than to maintain an older car yourself, but cash costs aren't the only costs, opportunity costs are a thing.
I suspect if you're under investigation for abusing monopoly power and you tell your employees not to use phrases like "We'll crush the competition" and instead talk about how "You'll try to maintain a competitive environment while doing your best to excel" it's probably better than your legal opponents finding evidence that people in your company are constantly talking about abusing their power to "crush the competition".

I guess we'll get an idea by the result of this lawsuit.
