I believe OP is showing how AI absurdity bleeds into everyday rhetoric; the link is showing how Google is featuring clearly incorrect info

This absurdity is going to muddle the internet's usefulness as a whole, because AAAA+ billionaire information platforms have become exceedingly lazy.
> It has been removed

Okay, but where is its correction? If you, as a professional publication that considers itself to publish news, unintentionally spread misinformation, you shouldn't just take down the old links, you should put out a new piece with the correct information (and give it just as much attention, don't hide it away).

The news came out, everybody got mad, and not half the people who read the original article (or headline) will revisit the articles and see the retraction.

Maybe the correction will come later, but I'll stay sceptical of anything Wired has to say until the correction comes out.
On a related bird/window note:

Where I live there are many birds - we have been encouraging them for years after nearly exterminating them carelessly.

Two in particular, an indigenous bird we call the Fantail, or Pīwakawaka, and the common Starling.

The starlings occasionally blunder inside the house, and they cannot get out, they will repeatedly smash into the same window, over and over, until they brain themselves and loose consciousness or we take mercy and catch them and evict them.

The Pīwakawaka on the other hand will come in an open window, fly into every corner of the house looking for, catching, and eating flies, then fly out the window they came in.

One day I carelessly shut the windows with a Pīwakawaka in the house. I was sitting at my computer and the Pīwakawaka flew at my head, repeatedly, until I got up and opened a window for it to escape.

Birds can be remarkably stupid ("bird brained" for a reason) or they can be simply remarkable.
Emacs has been used before most commenters on HN were born. They fail to understand or appreciate just how many hackers wrote custom editors with more or less an identical feature set as VS Code.

To avoid the alignment tax, maybe the system could be broken into 3:

1. Aligned model to check the prompt. It could provide feedback/dumber output for obviously unsafe prompts

2. Unaligned model for the common path.

3. Aligned model to check safety of the output. Tweaks or stops output.

For the common path, the prompt text goes to the unaligned model without modification, and the output goes to the user without modification.

The slither models could just be safe versions of the unaligned model.

This, of course, is at least 3x expensive.
Microsoft and Firefox have cited around 70% memory bugs, and they probably have tooling and whatnot. There are a few languages with good C/C++ FFI that are a better choice for memory safety, and so the tradeoff there isn't very high. I grant there may be ABI edge cases or whatever, but C/C++ is no longer viable or necessary for a good portion of software.
Was really autopilot (full autonomous drive, I mean) available at that time?
There are ways around this. But things have gotten so bad that i think the US debt is now more of a government welfare program than actual debt. It is a way to shovel taxpayer dollars towards large note holders. It is just moving money around, a sort of reverse welfare. It is an american institution no more killable than medicare or charitable tax deductions.

You understand that the rich pay a majority of the taxes in the US?
33 trillion dollars is a lot of money. Even unresonable levels of tax expansion across the would take forever to make that back, not to mention that that doest stop additional spending which still would likely be in excess of what we would collect extra.
President Donald Trump’s signature tax bill,26 enacted when Republicans gained control of the White House and both houses of Congress in 2017, will have cost roughly $1.7 trillion by the end of fiscal year 2023.

It seems pretty reasonable on magnitude grounds to mention something that cost $1.9 trillion in a single year while and omitting something that cost $1.7 trillion over five.

Not really. There were all sorts of tools available to migrate off twitter once new management began to screw it up.

> You literally started by saying Jo Nova is a liar

Nope, I said she bends the truth savagely by using all the tricks in the "How to lie with statistics" book - classic misrepresentation of data stuff.

I also said that she is widely known for this (also true) and pretty much every post she has ever produced has been debunked (also true).

I stand by all of that - I suggest you check that out for yourself.

While we're on that, Anthony Watts of Watts Up With That? is another cut from the same cloth.

Kia 2024 VIN Decoding Guide [pdf]
obviously you would need to provide type.
You may ask why a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) decoding guide could be of interest to the HN crowd.

With the industry you mean mostly 'Google'. RHEL and most other distros, Firefox (and Vivaldi) and python come with the tools to read RSS feeds.

It would be interesting to know how many actually relied on these lists instead of the customer portal or Cockpit/Satellite to be informed about this.
Care to explain it for the sake of discussion?
I don't think you can call something early adoption if it's been around for 15 years. The iPhone had been around for about the same amount of time and it's a mature platform. The "it's early" argument is really only peddled by people who seem to have an interest in bitcoin's value increasing.
Can we go back to taxing the richest at near 90%?
I'll preface this by saying the articles are of excellent quality, obviously well researched and to me an exemplary piece of research and journalism.

With that being said, are we really supposed to be holding entities like Meta/Facebook accountable for the actions of governments? You can read through my comments here on HN and I'm sure you'll notice I'm not one to generally have nice or even neutral things to say about megacorp entities like Meta, but I just fail to see how any of this is really on them.

If it wasn't Facebook where misinfo was being spread, it would've been twitter, or mastodon, or whatever other social media platform. And even if there were no social media platforms, disinformation, propaganda and unfortunately even genocides have all been happening for a lot longer than Meta's been a thing, and I seriously doubt that the lack of channels like Facebook would've prevented or even changed anything.

Why are we suddenly deciding that Meta/Twitter/Google/Pick your poison are to be the arbiters and keepers of truth and justice?
It's a long video that deserves an introduction. This is the story of the creation of an artwork that was installed at the Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art. Most of the video is about the fabrication of the custom "Nixie tubes" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixie_tube) that are used. The video is simple, factual, and a wonderful example of extreme craftsmanship.

Yeah why not? They can also lend my money out if they want, and give me 8% interest, if so I'm interested and I would agree. Any less than 6.5% and it's a hard no-consent-to-lending-my-money because the Treasury gives me more.
Mom's Google Account Banned and Can't Talk to a Human
My disabled mom recently was notified her Google account was banned for violating the T&C or something along those lines. She can't watch YouTube and had her YouTube TV subscription canceled. Is there any human that she could appeal to? Her granddaughter uses her account to make YouTube short videos and make comments with her YouTube account, so I'm not sure if she posted something that got her account banned.

She's disabled and YouTube TV was the cheapest option for her to watch live TV... She tried using her other gmail account to watch YouTube, but it appears that the ban propagated to her other account (IP ban?).

People that call for “the rich” to pay more taxes usually mean those earning above 100k. At least thats how it is in the uk. At some point it will become more convenient to just earn a low wage or none at all.
Love this idea and would be happy to beta test. tim@timwis.com
...on way more than a majority of the money, lol.
The US effectively uses government debt to avoid large asset holders from eating up the entire money supply. Using deficit spending to redistribute funds works when the money hits the right places, and is horrendously inefficient otherwise.
That’s more than cooking the economy , that is literally killing the American dream. The only way to have wealth is to make it before taxes were set.

A more fair approach would be a special assessment on net worth.
>Imagine something that thinks 1000x faster than you, is thousands of times smarter than you, never sleeps, never eats, can self-improve, can self-replicate and it didn't like you, or someone deployed it against you and your ethnicity, family, whatever?

Yeah that would be bad. We're also way way off from that point. A real threat that we actually face now is someone like Sam Altman getting congress to make it illegal for individuals to run models locally because then he can't charge us subscriptions for them or harvest information about our lives, thoughts, and feelings. Imagine an AI therapist (I've already done this with llama 65B a bit) with telemetry that lets commercial interests know all your specific deepest desires insecurities and fears so they can sell you stuff.

It's in this script so I can SFTP PDFs from my scanner over the network. Push button, scan paper and then it is SFTP'ed to a shared volume between SFTPGo and Paperless so it is detected and ingested into Paperless NGX automatically.
And a huge amount of public debt matures in the next 1-2 years, e.g. it's $7.6T (31%) just in the next year [1]. Imagine how the interest will balloon after this debt will be re-borrowed with the current interest rate. The recent spike in long-term rates does not help to say the least.

I expect the Fed will drop the interest rate and/or will re-start QE somewhere in the next year, so expect new waves of inflation similar to 70s.

> Where do you want this free return to come from?

I dunno, the Treasury gives me the 5.5% which is the same as a private bank giving me 6.25% and getting robbed by the state of California which leaves me with 5.5%.

Banks want my money? They need to beat that bar.

I dunno, lend it out to someone at 10% to buy a car and then give me 6.25%. Be creative. But I'm not taking Chase Bank's laughable 0.01% or even WealthFront's stupid 4.8%. It's not 6.25%, they didn't beat the bar, plain and simple.

If you're only giving me 1% you might as well give me 0% and I forbid you to lend out my money.
"Tax Assets" is the rallying cry I've seen, and that one actually does hit the "capital gains" class.

>I’m surprised WIRED allowed such an obviously incorrect article to be published in the first place

Is wired supposed to be a very accurate news source? I'm not surprised to hear bullshit from the media. This statement implies wired is supposed to be better than normal?
I do have concerns about debt, but this is essentially clickbait. The headline also seems to be factually incorrect. If you check out the Treasury report that they linked, the outlay category "net interest" is actually lower than "national defense".
Why would you want to kill off the thing that lets people have healthcare?
Usually I'm pretty happy to go in to any debate and argue for strong property rights and the importance of honouring debt agreements. However, at this point if the US government arranges some sort of default and anyone objects the responsibility really sits more with the creditors. The US government has been signalling that this headline was coming for ... Decade? Decades? Even if this isn't the most well telegraphed debt crisis in the history of the States it will be near the top of the list.

I don’t see much value. Each packet has a source port as well as a destination port. The source port is usually random and is the port the server responds to. Proxies, nats, firewalls all handle port numbers very efficiently and the tcp and udp headers themselves only use 16-bits + 16-bits on the wire. These are aligned to a 32-bit boundary which helps efficient hardware and software parsing. There’s no variable length to worry about and waste more bytes on. There’s no string encodings like Utf-8.
The TCJA 2017 did not measurably increase GDP so it would be odd if reversing it were to measurably decrease GDP growth.
> Speaking of Google specifically, my experience with third parties, even ones who are modestly well known is them not keeping up to date with the latest versions of Google’s software and APIs and whatnot and things breaking and becoming less stable. Nobody is as committed to long term support of Google’s technology than Google themselves.

I assume that last sentence is sarcastic. API stability is pretty important in the real world (look at the system call interfaces of modern OSes for example); Google stepping their APIs (and then abandoning their products) is the opposite of commitment to long term support.
Getting better diagnostics from secretly running a type checker as a "linter" is not the same as writing a program in a language you know is typed and which you design the types first before constructing the program.

I'm sorry but this seems uncontroversial to me, I don't think this negates the point I was making at all.
Returning back to the pre 2017 tax cuts wouldn’t kill the American dream.
Pretty much every sentence describing that situation involves what should be pretty obvious risk or blatant red flags.

Renting anything to others involves obvious risk. Subletting apartments involves obvious risk. Financial dealings with university students involves obvious risk. Classified ads involve obvious risk. Financial dealings with foreigners involves obvious risk. Accepting payment by check involves obvious risk. Back-and-forth payment shenanigans involve obvious risk. Dealing with financial institutions involves obvious risk.

All parties involved with such an obviously risk-filled situation should inherently know to be on high alert at all times, no matter how desperate they might be. The involvement of desperation itself should raise even more red flags.

It's hard to feel sympathy for somebody who has somehow managed to overlook one obvious risk after another in such a situation.
Hard disagree.

I can’t believe anyone by MBAs and VCs seriously think we should go back to ZIRP.

Funny, talking about the truth when your comment history is neck deep in right wing conspiracy and talking points.

The point people are making here is that Facebook shouldn't have done the impossible and created a perfect tech solution to moderate content, they should not have operated in these countries at all if they couldn't do it safely. They did not even try, instead they ignored internal reports on these problems for years and actively decided to make the problem worse with their single focus of growth. And for as you put it, only a few $ in advertisements, to fuel the fires of genocide.
I need this breakdown, I tried to read the paper but it's not accessible to a more than average interested layman
Having used many of both hotels and airbnbs (or vrbo these days) I don't understand why anyone would ever prefer a hotel given any choice. I mean if I were to guess at a reason it would not be flattering, like people who actually like cruises.

And I also do not understand the appeal of the Kardashians, and so that was a strange thing to try to equate.
Is 'liebling' an english word?
The effective tax rate for the rich has stayed very flat over time, and it has never been 90%. That is an internet myth that is somehow floated around that most people don't bother to check up on.

> Taken together, the Bush tax cuts, their bipartisan extensions, and the Trump tax cuts, have cost $10 trillion since their creation and are responsible for 57 percent of the increase in the debt ratio since then. They are responsible for more than 90 percent of the increase in the debt ratio if you exclude the one-time costs for responding to COVID-19 and the Great Recession.

I don't 100% agree with this article, but I think you are somewhat misrepresenting it. If taxes were at the level they used to be then we would be in a better position debt-wise than we are now. Whether you disagree with raising taxes or not, it does seem reasonable to examine cost-increasing measures like tax cuts.
Really? You'd rather earn less than earn more and pay tax on some of it? Personally I'd go for earning more (if it's a choice) and paying the higher taxes instead of voluntarily lowering my income.
The Greatest Magic Trick Ever?
> The headline also seems to be factually incorrect.

69 v 70? If anyone wants to try and seriously use that as a debate point I wish them the best but don't like their chances of landing a good rhetorical hit. And signs suggest it'll sound a hollow in 6 months at the rate the spending is chugging along.

Also the headline is presumably correct. Gross interest would be higher than net.
Seconded on the things Podman gets right. Also the isolation of all of the containers in their own network name space makes port management on my workstation super easy.

Note that that is probably unconstitutional, aside from just being a bad idea in general (see similar implementations in other countries).

It’s not really a 5G tower..

It literally looks like a Wireless Access Point, and can double as one sometimes.

You plug a network cable into a power supply for dedicated power over POE, and another network cable into your LAN. On the other side where you other dish is, you do the exact same. Plug the network cable into a LAN, and boom you will magically have the devices on both sides on the same network.

The dishes just have to a clear line of sight, and you can get some insane distances.

There is a community mesh WiFi network in New York City that uses these exact ubiquiti dishes to beam wireless high speed trunks across the water to the different burrows; and to uptown.

For just $800, you can set up a pair of air fiber dishes, and be able to beam a 2gbps trunk up to 7 miles away.

https://store.ui.com/us/en/pro/category/all-60ghz-wireless/p...

A few years ago, we moved to a larger space down the street; but Verizon couldn’t get fiber installed in time of our move out date of our existing location.

We set up dishes on each building as they had line of sight fortunately. We ran a VOIP network over it for a month without any hiccups. Even in the worst storms, we didn’t see any speed slow downs or packet loss. It was very impressive.
Really cool. LingQ.com is a similar idea, you may want to take a look for inspiration.
- They’re amazing for traveling with kids.

- and for working vacations (yay, remote work) with kids.

- They’re great in areas poorly-served by hotels.

- They often let you stay directly in or at least much closer to nice places than hotels do. Have coffee on the deck among the trees, smelling the pines and listening to the birds, and feel the mountain breeze as you wake up, versus continental breakfast among the sights and smells of a typical dreary hotel, then driving 20 minutes to reach the mountains. That kind of thing.

- If you’re looking to move, they let you sample living in various parts of a city or in several towns in a way that hotels very much do not.
