>And when that "right to be forgotten" is being exercised to expunge demonstrably false information that, because the internet is generally a swamp of copy-paste today, will be replicated endlessly to that person--not even a notable person's--detriment?

Does that mean if there's unflattering information about you on the internet (eg. disorderly conduct video), you can get that scrubbed by by posting some "demonstrably false information" about yourself (eg. that you're a child predator and war criminal), thereby causing your whole identity to be delisted?
"I would be much happier if we did a thing can only intermittently be accomplished by legal means and can be nullified at will by creating a new instance of a discardable entity, rather than doing a thing addressed to an identifiable and durable entity from which to request it."
I think a confirmation dialog would defeat the purpose of an auto dial here — you need the auto dial because you have been incapacitated.
Pivoting away from fossil fuels would be a terrible idea. They would be losing out on the entire class of educated consumer who wants to increase their own carbon emissions. Ignoring the environmentally conscious consumer would be a very bad play in today’s day and age.
OK, so you're fine with being able to forcefully destroy people's diaries? Photographs? What about those with memory problems who depend on such external memories?

>the former has a singular lifetime and there can only one instance - zero copies.

That's curious, I could have sworn humans had developed ways to share their memories with each other through things like "words" or "pictures"? Things proven to allow someone to share their memories with millions and pass them down such that we still know them even thousands of years later. So you're "only" talking about censoring/destroying conversation, phone calls, letters, messages, newspapers, paintings and such?

There is no shock phrasing here, despite you wanting to deflect. To forget is to lose memories. A right to have others forget necessarily implies actively forcing them to destroy their own memories. That's what it means, stripped of the misdirection. It's evil. I'm not sold that "do it on a computer" always is a magic wand that means now it's fine to use government force with it.
We must live in very different areas. Most of my friends are either from sports (soccer watching, ultimate frisbee playing, running club, hiking club, etc.) or board game groups, and none of the ones I've ever attended are segregated.

I have seen book clubs for men and book clubs for women advertised, but (especially those for men) seem to use gender segregation as a selling point—which would mean most of them aren't.

Interesting how different life experiences are.
Google doesn’t produce the content, sites do, the issue is with those sites surely?
> World of Warcraft

The original release of World of Warcraft had a limit of a few thousand per server too. It's only much later that this got increased. In the classic MMO era there's really only EVE Online that pushed to 10k and beyond, and never in the same star system. Single star system was limited to around 500 people for the game to still be playable. It's only later that they added time dilation which allowed for thousands to be in a single system at once.
Maybe they shouldn't have harassed him -- sounds like he was doing it on his own time.
Oracle must have given them a good deal. (I wonder if this is the future of the "Cloud" - the slow phase out of all open source software with BigTech corporate software to "tie" you in and exploit the data - for ai, prism etc. - with privacy invasive Terms of Services and questionable "privacy policies"?
I don’t think a trie makes a good cache.
Very interesting. I'm dealing with a lot of PDF generation at work using pdf-lib so this could come in handy. Thanks for the share!
Fortunely there are lots of companies out there in the industry, many of which have more open minded folks regarding what toolchains to use.

Those that decide to be stuck in C, might one day wake up and realise the world has moved on without asking for permission.
I wrote something like this for contact auto completion - running in the browser we had to ensure that both tree construction was fast, and also that completion was instantaneous. So the next level of optimization is to amortize tree construction over searches (using the observation that most of the tree is never accessed)

Fossil fuels are likely to play an enormous role in energy for at least the next 50 years. We'll almost certainly still be burning coal at that point, let alone getting rid of natural gas and liquid fuels. EVs need power and without massive transmission and distribution system upgrades if EVs achieve even 25% market saturation the physics don't work as-is. Generation is the easy part but the deeply unsexy real problem is moving that power around. Which is ironic because that problem has nearly exactly zero presence in the minds of politicians and the public. It's yet another example of what happens when complex engineering is turned into sound bites.
> I don't think people should have right to be forgotten, just like they shouldn't have the right to be killed by someone or right to be sold to slavery.

I don't see your logic at all. The premise is something which the person is seeking, and your examples are things the subject would not want (to be killed or sold into slavery). I understand the rest of what you're saying, though.
Anyone have a magnet link for this?
What terrifies me is the possibility of psychosurgery only removing the ability to express inner turmoil.

Imagine the despair of a mind unable to express itself through voice or other action.
It would be great if when 911 is dialed the phone dropped into a “black box” state where all unnecessary functionality is suspended to maximize battery and signal. It could alert emergency contacts w/ location pings, start recording voice and video, and go into a heightened security mode to avoid tampering.
And the population should be taxed to cover their losses in case pivoting to renewables runs into any issues.
Speech policing isn't some magical panacea warding off conflict and violence. I can easily cite you historical exterminations at the hands of speech enforcers.
> LLMs hallucinate

So do fiction writers. I hear there's even an entire genre of fiction that is expressly devoted to describing the commission of, and the solution to, violent crimes. And another genre that's all about war. And several genres about sex (with various focuses and levels of clinical detail). And books that discuss societal taboos ranging from incest to cannibalism. And...
When I had a Pixel4, I witnessed a car accident in which someone got hurt quite substantially.

Hard as a tried, the process of dialing 911 failed multiple times; the phone app simply crashed and left me with a blank screen or the home screen. I put a complaint in with my carrier but nothing was ever done. And of course Google could give 0 fucks with their customer support.

A few months later, I needed to call 911 for an emergency and it did work, but yeah... we got "Eventual Consistency" for an emergency.

The costs were moderate, not colossal. But they were still bigger than the benefits, which were tiny to non-existant. Because 99.99% of people do not actually see a "master branch" as a racially-charged or bigoted term.

In the case of Kubernetes, I suppose those terms were chosen from the beginning so there was no cost of switching. And hence why no one complained about it.

Which incidentally supports my claim: that people were upset about the cost of changing rather than because of their secret admiration for slavery.
"AI" doesn't work reliably enough to be used for most stuff. Safety from that perspective is real.

There are grifters who talk about existential risk, which is pure BS and people who play up identity politics and call it safety.

No one has any business trusting Microsoft, apparently?

I’m under no delusions that an intelligence agency with ‘home team advantage’ wouldn’t already have the keys to the kingdom. If they are in the apparent habit of leaving the keys sitting around in random Cafes, the odds that other non-home team intelligence agencies have a copy increases dramatically too. Or even random miscreants.

As to if that matters? Eh.
Apple's approach is to give you some fixed amount of time to cancel before it auto-dials an emergency number.

PSYOP's seems to have degraded common sense.

This sort of gray area is one for a court to figure out. If it were me? "Court records and reporting on governmental proceedings, including civil and criminal proceedings, shall not be included unless a court determines there is no prevailing public interest."

Barring that? I think erring on the side of the vastly more numerous set of decent people who may be affected by parrot farms is probably wise. (And I can't speak to Canadian jurisprudence, but it's often the case that courts make a broader decision in the American system and constrain it down over time.)
The & captures the `userId` by reference and makes it available in the lambda body.
It causes userId to be captured by reference. Compare with [=] which would capture by value.

How are you doing this? Dialing an emergency has never happened to me by accident on Android or iOS.

It has happened to me many times on office phones where you need to use 9 to route your call. And you learn to just stay on the call if you dial me mistake because they will call back if you disconnect and telling them it was a mistake if much quicker. They must deal with it all the time
The fact that you are right about Vučić does not mean it's not exactly the same for Kurti: EU and USA were warning that side of escalating tensions mere months ago and threatening repercussions too.

Each side is as bad as the other. As a Serbian, I find it worse that Serbian side is no better, but populism wins everywhere (US had four years of Trump, there's Brexit...).
One of those things is a reachable legal entity. The other is a pop-up content farm whose next instance is a few hours of work away. Google is the logical one to ask.
That's assuming an equal amount of carbon is produced by a given amount of extracted material, regardless of how it is used or processed. That seems an incorrect assumption completely disregards potential processing improvements that would reduce it.

This is why you need a true carbon tax if you want to go down this road, as it would make you pay for the actual carbon you produce.

Applying this uniformly to all manufacturers around the world, along with users of final products (like gasoline) would be very difficult though.
Ramming updates down people’s throats is what it takes.

Windows is full of questionable decisions, but being aggressive with applying (security) updates isn’t one of them.

Also, don’t like updates being rammed down your throat? Apply them yourself.

I just had to help someone out who was clearly over his head using Ubuntu (a Ph.D. student) after he clicked "yes" to one of these popups, updated his to the next major version, and broke all his python-based installed software he needed for his project.
I don’t really agree with filtering the LLMs but your view is a strawman here.

The risk isn’t the content, it’s the scale at which the content can be produced and personalized.

For example, this makes it extremely easy for a well funded extremist group to start interacting with people on social media through an LLM slowly convincing them that we should imprison all ${something}. Over a few years you’ll potentially see that movement become legitimized and mainstream.

That risk isn’t something you’re going to be able to mitigate by hoping every LLM is filtered. But it is a risk our society now needs to grapple with though.
I've noticed two main customer groups:

- Small businesses or individual entrepreneurs who know Jira from previous roles and use Discord for communication as it's cheap (free). I belong to this group.

- Fast-growing companies with a large Discord community, like in gaming, AI, tech or crypto, often pick Jira for stronger ticketing/task management.

Many more people appreciate Jira than it seems, even if it often gets criticism on HN in comparison to tools like Notion.

Your inability to generalize a concept from one example onwards is stunning. Everyone's personality is a function of their surroundings. Just like misled behavior can stem from being desolately poor it can stem from social pressure, competitive nature, unmet wants and needs and so on. Which I already pointed out twice.
I'm not sure that stands up. 'Votes' are always positive feedback to the one on the receiving end. Assuming HN (or Reddit, or whatever) successfully filters bot activity, they provide indication that there are people in the vicinity of the comment and therefore it is likely that the comment is being read. Which is the reason why one comes to a forum and not to a private journal. As there is no formal analytics system, getting feedback (button presses, replies, etc.) is the only way to know you are contributing something that a larger community is taking in. And such feedback is what encourages contributing more.

If there was something that the community doesn't like, naturally they would hide the fact that a community exist. No votes, no replies, no nothing. When one feels like they are simply writing in a private journal, they will grow bored of their activity pretty quickly. As the old adage goes: Don't feed the trolls.

If it’s interesting to you, his public advocacy on his blog for L2 goes back to 2017[1] where he dismisses block size scaling as a centralizing risk. Of course now that we have ofac geth, liquid and cex staking; Parlia Consensus and other consensus methods where the number of validators is capped (usually at a few hundred) but voting is done through delegation are in actual fact more decentralized than ethereum. To be fair though no one knew this is how things would turn out on 2017; back then the idea that just a few hundred actors could control a blockchain was scary. Now it’s a success compared to chains where just 3-5 actors could attack a chain.

Nonsense, it's not cancelled and cancelling it would be absolutely ridiculous... HS2 is pretty critical in creating capacity since the WCML is basically at full capacity. HS2 is important for taking long distance passenger trains off the WCML to allow that to be used for more freight and shorter distance regional trips.
ZigZag: Universal Sampling-Free Uncertainty Estimation Through 2-Step Inference
Based upon what evidence?
Is there any data on how often this occurs with other brands, or what the failure rate was (i.e. how many attempts to call 911 succeeded in that time?) Otherwise 20+ reports certainly sounds bad but I don't really have a perspective on how bad it is. It could very well be that 20 failures across a year is within the expected failure rate due to unavoidable transient network issues.
Yeah, definitely it going to my todo list
If security updates were separate from a bunch of downgrades masquerading as updates, people would apply them more often.
Difference is that Serbia was actively committing ethnic cleansing.

I'm happy with Windows 11. I'm running it right now on an ARM laptop.

I got a call from my brother yesterday. He wanted to know how to "fix" his iPhone. He needed to install an app to buy tickets for an upcoming trip and the app said that he "must update to iOS 15.1 or higher".

Somehow, even though he thought he was keeping his phone up-to-date, he missed a couple of years worth of updates.

I don't think trying to help users update is user hostile.
Papyrus, and later the printing press, were absolutely positive, socially-revolutionary technologies.
The problem seems to be the Burmese.
I think that the comic books worked well because they provided extra context with the illustrations. And, as you point out, the text is directly tied to the illustration in each panel. With that extra context, the texts became more comprehensible, so you were able to learn more advanced and interesting sentences earlier.

Some other examples of high-context sources:
- TV shows in the target language (subtitles may be helpful)
- stories that one is already familiar with (in my case, I was already really familiar with the plot of the Vulgate).
- stories that aren't familiar, but where you can read the same plot repeated in several sources. For Latin, John Piazza's Narratioines Faciles de Historia Romanorum does this well https://archive.org/details/piazza-john-narrationes-faciles-... . For living languages, probably looking in a kid's library section for books all on a similar topic would be good.
- Talking with someone in the language, since they'll give you real-time context.

It's 1000x compared to a very naive baseline, exhaustive traversal of the matching subtree. Nobody in practice would do that, storing the maximum score for each subtree so you can prune is a very common technique, definitely not novel here.

Even doing a Levenshtein-bounded beam search along the trie is pretty much common practice, see for example this paper [1] from 2011.

There are more sophisticated ways of doing this in space-efficient ways, for example this paper [2] I co-authored in 2013.

On an open web however, audiences are pluralistic, and even within technical circles there's a fine line between elucidation and obfuscation.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm okay with jargon, but it can be difficult to get the dosage right.
You could use scroll event(s) to trigger more results.
It feels like I've been reading the same laments since Win95. The specifics of Microsoft's bad practices may have evolved, but the fundamentals seem the same.

In 2023 I can install Debian without messing with XFree86 configs or dealing with kernel modules. Modern Linux desktop systems just work, out of the box. Of course there are still a few hiccups here and there and I probably minimize their magnitude because of my familiarity. However, I don't spend hours futzing with it like I did as a kid in the late 90s. Linux has come a long way.
I feel the opposite way. Like you, I don’t understand most of these terms. But I love reading Vitalik’s posts because it feels like a glimpse into how computer scientists will talk about code in the distant future.

To me, Vitalik’s brain is like 50 years ahead of the rest of us. I also trust him to speak as plainly and concisely as possible. I get the same rush from reading these posts as watching a great sci-fi film, except it’s not fiction. It’s (mostly) real.

That can be extremely difficult to do false information is spread widely. Say a story is published by the Associated Press and then is republished on hundreds of other websites.
The author for the book "this title confirms the perspective of the news station".
He does do that from time to time.

I think his essay on blockchain voting is a great example. https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/05/25/voting2.html
Living in a home without clutter helps you deal with them because there are fewer places for them to hide. But this will not prevent spread or occupation by them.

We already have defamation law for that, have had it for literally centuries. If you can prove in court that something is defamation, you can then get court orders around it, including having it taken down from the actual source sites as well as search engines. There is no new "right to be forgotten" law needed for that that that's not what the push has been about, it's about people complaining about stuff that they say is "outdated" or "harmful" but not actually defamatory, you'll notice they don't actually go after any of the places that host the content even when it's in their own jurisdiction. It's the truth, just an unpleasant truth they don't like showing up.

The extent to which government force should be used to wipe someone's slate cleaner is certainly debatable. Arguments can be made that at one point even a nasty criminal who wanted to turn over a new leaf could travel to a frontier or the like where nobody would know them or find out about them and start anew, and that was a good thing (vs criminals who did that and just did more crimes). And that maybe that should be something society backs. And then there are arguments against it.

But that's a very different debate then if the information is simply false.
