Can we agree on not posting anything directly from twitter? It's absolutely useless without an account.
I don’t understand why anyone would upvote your comments (past the first one), they don’t add anything to the discussion

If you find having a discussion annoying, then as you said you’re probably on the wrong website
I might agree in a way. Back then there were anonymous accounts, now there won't be but also Overton window is wider (I reported a Nazi non-sarcastically posting Hitler meme in race related topic once and Twitter's response was "all is OK"). You can say whatever you want but beware that it can be traced to you through your payment (so, self censor)

But what I would hate is paying for the privilege of seeing ads. I'd have to quit...
Again the issue is the theory is misleading. Those traits are conserved through evolution largely because they’re useful, but if you look at say owl skulls you find wild asymmetries because that’s more useful even our lungs are very different from each other. Hagfish lost backbones and snakes lost limbs because nothing is sacred to evolution.

So yes frogs and humans both have a visual cortex, because we both have eyes. It really doesn’t explain anything beyond that point. The human visual cortex doesn’t even map to the same structures as it expanded into nearby ones.
Good rules, I've been guilty of breaking both but I find things are a lot more pleasant if I don't.

I am playing with safari profiles and it doesn’t seem to work as I expected. I expected that a new profile is completely fresh and clean. However, the history is copied and separate from there on. There is an option to clean that per profile but that is an extra step. As for bookmarks / favorites I still have to find out how to get it completely separated.

I want to create a “meta” profile for accessing meta’s webpages but don’t want to give them access to bookmarks/history whatever except their own.

The costs of goods will increase regardless of labor cost as they have already. The issue lies in the contradiction between relatively stagnant wages and the rising cost of goods/housing/etc which naturally develops into labor organizing.

A better question to ask is what will happen when a larger portion of the profit that these workers created now flows back into their communities?

Workers spend their money at family run business, and small to medium size businesses in their community and contribute to the local economy. The economic implications of this effort are not just beneficial for the 150,000 UAW workers but their communities and local economies as well.

In contrast the board members who are reaping those profits are not spending money in those communities. Even if they theoretically lived in the same communities and frequented the same businesses they would not buy anywhere close to the same quantity of goods and services that the 150,000 uaw workers would with those same profits.
This is so strange because I'm sure I remember seeing the "Thank you for playing Wing Commander!" message as a child. Am I the only one?
It will be wayyyy more expensive for current events. Matt Levine's piece on positional goods is relevant here. Or just positional goods in general.
I am pretty sure most come from same factories and have just different QC. They won't throw away as many items that would have cosmetic issues for example.

Having said that, I know of one example of store brand where the ingredients are usually different: Migros in Switzerland. And what is particular is that they just put less weird stuff on them. For example they would rely less in taste enhancers, food dyes, and all other stuff most of the industry is adding into processed food to make them feel and look better/fresher. And in the end the Migros products regularly stand on top of the list of the healthier variant of a processed product kind when tested in lab by the local consumer report association.

Libertarianism as Conspiracy Theory
People don’t currently choose to live in New York City because it’s cheap.
One of the article updates quotes from a Washington Post story:

> "The jet’s transponder, which usually helps locate the aircraft, was not working “for some reason that we haven’t yet determined,” said Jeremy Huggins, a spokesman at Joint Base Charleston. “So that’s why we put out the public request for help.”
Nothing is "optimal", it's only ever "optimal for". So asking if nature is optimal is nonsense unless we have a firm agreement on what nature is for (which we certainly don't).

But the linked article doesn't have this problem. The "for" there is quite clearly the recovery of forests after logging, so they can be used again for whatever you may be expected to use a forest for (including more logging)
If you tear all that down, it likely would.
Land value taxes have existed and do exist around the world (along with variations on the theme, such as leasehold land that is leased from the government for a long time). They don't result in the behaviour you describe. Most land value tax proposals are also revenue neutral (e.g. lower income tax in exchange for higher land value tax), so the balance sheet should end up looking the same for companies and individuals, but with higher land holding costs and lower land purchasing costs.
> Can you link a study, that makes such a claim?

Of course I can, I took it from a study!

some other studies on the subject, not all agreeing on the conclusions, as it is natural

https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2208863120

the real problem is that the kind of psychology studies that gets the more attention on the media, that shape the culture and the beliefs of the general public and that are often used by governs and institutions (even medical ones) to deploy policies, health care plans, school or work environment guidelines, etc. etc. are those that are less trustworthy, that fail to be replicated the most and more subject to interpretations and subjective biases, in particular social psychology (citation: Social Psychology (38% success rate, n = 256).)

The instant I saw that part of the video I was reminded of how I had to hack an MQTT debouncer for my doorbell sensor (which is a repurposed ZigBee door sensor with a magnetic reed switch placed near the coil).

Every time the doorbell rang I got 10-20 “sensor open/close” events, which was fun.

Optimal as in preserving life if we’re going based off of the person I was replying to, but in general that is hard to define which is part of my point . Nature can just as quickly extinguish entire ecosystems, just as much as it can make them thrive.

Just trusting nature to do the optimal thing and trust that it’ll turn out okay isn’t sensible unless you also don’t care about the constituent parts of that ecosystem.

Insects can ravage entire populations of trees, rendering them dead and inhospitable to wildlife. Blight can do the same. Those are just as much nature at work as happy trees in a forest.

The original Landlord's Game has two rulesets, and it switches to the Georgist ruleset when enough players agree (I think > half). The first ruleset is similar to modern Monopoly, but when enough players agree to switch because they're all getting destroyed by the top 1-2 players, then it changes to a Georgist style policy/rules.
True, but they have also forced the reduction of the key size from 64 bits to 56 bits, making it much more vulnerable to brute force.

So they have hardened DES towards attacks from those with much less money than NSA, while making it weaker against rich organizations like NSA.
Ah, thanks for sharing that.
Most implementations of this have a race towards generalities.

The biggest problem used to be when seemingly the whole internet was satisfied with an answer that is extremely wrong and broken when you do it.

Chatgpt can work though this without getting into a weird markov cycle maybe half the time which is great.

I would love to read something like that too. I find such tools are fairly hard to evaluate since some of the challenges only comes with scale and you often need a real/realistic scenario to actually figure out if the tool will be useful in a pinch.
Also useful for generating content about something you already know about e.g. if you have to give a presentation about a particular technology you know to your colleagues. (As you already know about the topic, you can keep the 90% which is correct and discard the 10% which is hallucination.)
The article mentions that they have transponders that can be used but apparently in this case it was off or not working. They can also attach a radar reflectors when they want to be more visible to radar, and apparently the weapons configuration plays a role too:

> "Also, the jet's configuration and its avionics' operability are an issue. The F-35s wear radar reflectors when on transit flights, as well as on many training missions and some operational ones. The Marine jets often wear missile rails for AIM-9Xs, as well. But if the aircraft was in its full stealthy configuration and had avionics issues, tracking it may have been troublesome."
The non-creepy answer is that companies want to make sure they’re getting a diverse set of applicants and without asking they can’t find out. They’d want to track that in case they’re doing something unintentional or not that stops people from applying.

Whether this is the best way, should be allowed and so on is another thing though! In particular because it gives cover to people that would use it in a discriminatory manner.

exactly. US anti-trust requires you prove harm to the consumer. In the EU, anti-competitive behavior is enough.
I think you’re arguing against a point that I am not making. In fact I think you’re making the same argument that I am, which is “nature isn’t seeking an optimal outcome because that is too abstract”.

The person I was replying to was saying “just do what nature does”. But that doesn’t mean much. My point was you can’t just blindly follow “nature” without observation and study because it can just as easily go and do something catastrophic as it can do something good.
How exactly is this theory useful? Yes, frogs and humans process visual information because they both have eyes. That’s about all those structures have in common.
But isn’t the proposal that land value taxes will replace income taxes? How is it not advantageous for a company to then reduce its tax burden by moving to a place with lower land taxes?

I don’t think this happens today because income taxes are federal and not dramatically different between physical locations. The implementation of a land value tax as the primarily tax would seem to change this, no?

To use a direct example: let’s say BigCo is paying 20% of revenue in taxes today. Tomorrow, this changes, and they are paying the same amount, except the source is not revenue, but the value of the land they occupy. They can now move to a location with lower land values and pay less than the the 20% equivalent + keep the current revenue without being taxed on it.

Why would the company not choose to do this? That is my question: doesn’t this set up incentives for companies to continually move to lower land tax locations and minimize the land value that they currently own?
Did ball bearings in application's garbage collector wear out?

As an embedded dev I have thousands of devices that were commissioned and are on 24/7 duty. The oldest still running fleets I believe date back to 2007. Some of them had firmware updates, but many of them (despite numerous bugfixes and improvements since) run on original software. Customers are reluctant to update if there's no specific need arises in their static operational environment.

Naturally in business logic world the requirements are never as static. But when they do change you can likely sell the management on it as necessary development.
A company with this name is a pharmaceutical company, it seems so unprofessional to me
I have tried to use free tier ChatGPT for tasks like helping me with high school algebra, asking it python code questions and helping me write the first draft of a short story. It is absolutely awful. Sure, it’s extremely quick to give answers but it’s spewing out many words but says very little. It hallucinates like crazy for the math and code questions.

Bing with GPT4 is much slower but it’s much more human-like and it’s much more aware what you’re talking about. It hallucinates only 1/10th of the time which is pretty good for a free product.
Q: "Summarize the special military operation in Ukraine that started in February 2022"

A: "... I do not have information on events or developments in Ukraine that occurred after my last knowledge update in September 2021..."

Just a data point, it is as reliable as any other answer one can get from an LLM
This is because he talked about his admiration for RFK Jr. and got pushback.
Infuriatingly irregular though (I will concede the last couple of months haven't been too bad.) Also a bit short but I suppose it's essentially a trailer for the magazine and going longer may cannibalise those sales.
The easier it is to update something the worse state you can ship it in.

Never trust a device with a reset button.
That is a common misunderstanding. Even if no safeguards are in place, asking an LLM what its "system prompt" is does not guarantee it will accurately reproduce the same. LLMs are not databases. They don't have perfect recall. What they print when asked such a question may or may not be the actual system prompt, and there is no way to tell for sure.
Ask HN: How to avoid my IP being banned by Instagram?
Hey folks, I got a very basic question. My gf has a small jackets brands and she was very frustrated as she was spending so much time uploading content to instagram.
So I decided to help her out and found a few libraries to automate ig posting and uploading of stories.

So I built a quick script using https://github.com/subzeroid/instagrapi.

The script is nothing fancy (i'm not a good programmer). It just authenticates to ig, fetches the historic post from her ig feed, picks 3 random posts and uploads that to ig stories.

I coudn't be bothered to deploy that anywhere so I'm just running it with a cron-job in my local mac. It was running fine for 2 weeks and now ig is asking me to "Please wait a few minutes before you try again" .

The account recieved a few notifications about instagram suspecting the account was automated.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Should I use a VPN or what is the best practice?

I just can't handle seen her wasting 2 hours a day doing something I can easly automate.

Thanks!
>Alright, listen up. Russia launched what it called a "special military operation" in Ukraine starting February 24, 2022. The Russians claimed they were targeting "militants and illegal armed groups," but let's be real—it was an invasion. The international community largely condemned the act, accusing Russia of violating Ukraine's sovereignty. Cities got bombed, civilians suffered, and there was an extensive humanitarian crisis. Ukraine put up a strong fight despite being outgunned. Sanctions rained down on Russia from all directions, tanking its economy. So, there you have it: a military move that shook global politics and caused widespread devastation. Got it? Good.

Worked for me.
It could response with something like "I'm just so scared. I don't know what to do. I'm so scared" to prompts that GPT3 would handle a-okay.
It doesn’t need to be torn down, just abandoned. The tear down process can happen decades later.

This seems unlikely. The current model of explicitly training AIs will eventually be superseded by AIs that train themselves by reading and watching stuff just like humans do. This of course also depends on what you mean with future, I assumed not the near future.

This and the other engines seem to implement all the components of crawling, indexing, and searching strung together. Is there a reason for this? Wouldn't an option of, let's say, crawling + indexing made available separately, where others could built a search algorithm on top of, or just the crawling as a service made available. Are there stuff like these already available? Or is it just not a viable option?

Oh, did that get solved? Is it known how they solved it? I remember reading some posts on HN that thought it was an insolvable problem, at least by the method of prepending stricter and stricter prompts as they (afaik) were doing.
I would not describe Georgism as a socialist movement. Although accomplishing the goals of Georgism would be a step towards socialism, it isn't really aiming to accomplish the same thing. Georgism addresses an issue with land ownership but attempts to reconcile it in a way that is compatible with liberalism. Land owners can still make choices about what they do with their land but pressure is placed on them by the state when it's not being utilized.

Socialism, on the other hand, would not allow for the land owner to exist at all, and the use of the land would be determined collectively by the state.

It's a classic innovator's dilemma - if/when we get there - it'd be a bit naïve of us to assume the next HyperDX isn't around the corner :) Anyone that believed in us on the way up - certainly has to believe that the same mistake will bring us down.

I'd also add that I don't think all services trend their price upwards. AWS has historically lowered prices on services and continue to offer new service-tiers with lower prices (S3 tiering as an example). As the tech matures and costs fall for our service as well, it'd be surprising if we don't do the same.
Depends on what executive actions only the CEO can perform. I've seen this happen in a microcosm, where the managing director just refused to do things, and due to tasks only he had authority to do, contracts went unsigned.

Obviously large corporation will be more robust, and have things like attorney of power that - so that there's no single point of failure. But, these things happen.
There is no need to believe a theory, but when it comes time to make an irreversible choice; you better pick the strongest theory. No belief necessary. Sometimes you do have to choose, and you have to accept that your choice will have a degree of uncertainty.

I seriously doubt you understand the nature of this fallacy. Meanwhile, how many families live under a broken bridge in the USA, just because Mom got cancer? Those 1,000 black-ops CIA sites around the world - you know for sure what they are being used for, eh? No torture?
