Modern panopticon level surveillance is not deployed through weakening encryption. It's just built right into platforms and apps and people willfully install it because it gives them free services and addictive social media feeds.

You don't need to weaken encryption to spy on people. You just have to give them a dancing bunny and to see the dancing bunny they must say yes to "allow access to contacts" and "allow access to camera" and "allow access to microphone" and "allow access to documents" and ...

For the higher-brow version replace dancing bunny with free service.

In addition the more we adopt and make use of cloud command and control architectures the more surveilled we become, because it becomes trivial for anyone with access to the cloud provider's internals to tap everyone's behavior. This could be done with or without the knowledge of the provider itself. The more such services we use the more data points we are surrendering, and these can be aggregated to provide quite a lot of information about us in near-real-time.

There’s a lot of evidence we more or less absorbed the neanderthal population. Old school tribal genocide style – you win the war/battle, kill the men, take their wives. We don’t know if that’s exactly how it happened, but it stands to reason that pre-historic tribal warfare wasn’t much different than the more recent tribal warfare we do have records about.

1% to 4% of human DNA, for people with non-African backgrounds, is Neanderthal: https://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/genetics/ancient-dna-an... (cmd+f for “interbreeding”)

I'm not sure I feel like usually a "well-made" site doing this will vary some identifier or something so that you can't just wholesale block them all.

And that's fair, I understand that but they do still choose to publish there instead of their own blog. My opinion on that site is kind of agnostic of the owner of the problem it's more just that I'm not going somewhere knowing that is going to happen when I do.
The only possible reason for barriers to entry is regulation? There are many industries where startup costs are high for reasons intrinsic to the business and margins are relatively low so you are unlikely to get investment from outside sources. Grocery stores for example. You are trying to apply a toy model from econ 101 to explain the behavior of complex real world markets, and when the model doesn't fit you invent bogeymen to blame. This is more like religious fundamentalism than any kind of science.
The difference is that the bakery boy now works for every bakery on a city, state or maybe even country-wide level and gives advice on how much each baker should take for their bread.

As one player raises their prices incrementally, this information is passed on to all the other players immediately. The software will then "recommend" that other players raise their rates to match. Or the software recommendations a slightly higher price to all players. With players of this size, small increases make a big difference.
Ask yourself why the stores that charges 30% more are still around? Likely they operate in different areas, or they offer some services the cheaper place doesn't, or they have higher quality wares etc. Otherwise everyone would go shop at the cheaper store.

Now ask yourself, why doesn't the cheaper store offer those things? Maybe because they costs something?
As far as I can tell, Firefox Focus has no tab support, which means it is a non-starter. How can you use it as a browser if it has no tabbing?
The difference I see is that in this case, it's the same middleman that visits all the stores (and is welcome at the store) and it's the same middleman that is making the price recommendations to all the stores at near real-time.

None of them are directly active in ed policy, but academics are overrepresented in my circle of friends. I know. There are even some not terrible for them to reject my claims. I'm just someone outside looking in, I don't have their priors. (Or their expertise.)
I am a bit more optimistic or just unfazed by all the AI hype. After seeing these "hype trains" before, it just seems like part of our collective process of figuring out what works. Sure, I think optimizing these cycles to burn less capital would be good but I guess I'm actually on the side of having a bunch of people throwing a bunch of crap against the wall and seeing what sticks. :)
Evaluating a business is tough.

VC is like that because many of them missed many boats of very profitable startups in 2001 thru 2010, where "stupid business trick, now with software!" was almost always an OK bet.

The bad practice is placing bad behaviours on the contract fine print like not allowing for feature parity after the exclusivity deal runs out, or suffering the risk of a lawsuit.
This is something that Android would ostensibly do better at. You're able to get browsers with full ad-blocking capabilities there.

Ask HN: How to know if I'm chatting with an AI?

The war in Palestine is particularly pernicious in how it crosses ideological lines.

I can't support the actions of Hamas at all, but Israel cannot frame itself as innocent in that, as I see it, politicians such as Benjamin Netanyahu and Arial Sharon have been playing a long game towards the elimination and marginalization of the population that was there before 1948 that can easily be compared to the Roman dispersal of the Jewish people that culminated in 73 AD or the "solution" that the Nazis had to an unwanted culture in Europe. The difference is that Israel can't do anything so drastic and decisive but instead will manage a series of crises that will gradually disperse, divide, and weaken the Palestinians.

Israel has within it one of the most modern and liberal societies in the world and it also has a terrible dark side. It's a problem that is very difficult to confront.

This raises a good point that you have to use these apps for a good exp. Their apps usually do good caching, preloading and good display. Now in a browser you have some more controls over cookies and things. The apps can get around that more.
I guess we are at that part of the hype-cycle where the initial excitement is turning into doubt.

At this point, the vested interests (ai-vcs, startups, ai-researchers etc) must unleash a new wave of propaganda to keep the faith.
eg: sama drops a tweet: "saw AGI yesterday in a dark alley", or musk says "optimus did a cartwheel - whoohoo", or lecunn publishes "chain of thought is all you need" on arxiv.

methinks crypto had more legs than AI - at least the initial adopters made some quick cash out of it.
No one is selling exactly the same goods anyway, not at that level.

All purchases (wholesale, retail, whatever) are actually auctions, and they remain auctions even if you aren't aware that they are. So if someone was saying to themselves "Dammit, Kroger sells lettuce so high, I could that I could sell it for 4% over cost and still be 20¢ cheaper!" then they are deluding themselves. Ignore the overhead of opening a nationwide chain and all that other stuff.

When they go to purchase lettuce wholesale, as a new competitor, more lettuce doesn't pop up in the fields instantly. Or even quickly. So you end up causing wholesale prices to rise, at least until the agricultural sector catches up, if it does. They were always careful to grow just enough that none of it ends up unsold. Even if you could source it, likely you're getting the lower quality lots (the stuff Walmart goes after just so they can have theirs priced a penny cheaper, that turns slimy 24 hours after putting it in your fridge).

This discourages new entrants, competitors. And gives Kroger some slack if someone does decide to try it.
> Soon you’ll have sales guys

The solution is trivial: no commission on this. Possibly even negative commission, can't convince your client not to take this? You get less money for the sale.

This way sales are incentivised to only talk about this if not doing so would lose them the sale entirely.
I'd argue that if you're running a internet based company you do need some growth regardless of what you've raised or not raised. Someone is always trying to cut into your business and if you sit back and ignore everything growth related you will eventually be in a worse position.(Besides competition you do also have other things to consider like every year employees need raises, etc).

What you really gain by not raising capital is freedom to pursue a less risky operating approach and a lower bar for a positive outcome.
Thanks - interesting. Phrases like this are eternally surprising:

> The same month, UK officials privately admitted to tech companies that there is no existing technology able to scan end-to-end encrypted messages without undermining users’ privacy

It's as though this is a secret that UK officials knew. Everyone technically minded knows this; it's a battle between those who regulate (the difficulty of whose job generally stops at "write down the rule and fine people if they don't do it") and those who know about current fundamental limitations.

Note that Safari has native support for content blockers (or what most people call adblockers). I use AdGuard on my iPhone and it works great. The blocking is done by Safari, the app just tells Safari what rules to use. The paid version of AdGuard includes an optional extension that can execute more complex blocking rules, but the free version works very well in almost all cases. There are other apps available as well.

I've had good results with both D-Link routers (DIR-615??, DIR-842) I've owned through the years - the DIR-615 was bought used, it lasted 8 years of constant service, was only replaced because I needed 802.11n and a better WAN port. It still works when I plug it in! Its replacement DIR-842 has been chugging happily since 2021 and was also purchased second-hand.
I use adguard on my phone, so ads and tracking practically don't exist. I turn on the reading mode if I want to focus on the content instead of being consistently blocked by ads (or in my case, the space previously occupied by ads). I have adblock in my mobile browser as an additional step. And often I send longer pages to pocket and read them later on kindle.

So it is awful, but if you are willing to spend some time you can still make it usable.

(Hope Google's outrageous "DRM for web" idea never gets traction.)
I was thinking in exponents. Maybe I made a mistake. Let's see.

1B is 10^9. 1M is 10^6. So we need a factor that takes away 3 decimal points. A percent is already taking away 2 decimal points. We need one more. So .1% of 1B is 1M because 9-3=6. I was correct.

I think I see your error: you read .1% as 1%. I applaud you checking the math, even if this time you were wrong.
OpenWrt is commonly used to breathe new (or better) life into consumer routers, but you can also run it on any x86 machine. I run it on a small, passively-cooled i5 machine* virtualized in Proxmox alongside Home Assistant. I originally ran OPNSense, then VyOS, but eventually went back to OpenWRT since it does everything I want/need with a simple interface.

Grocery stores are already operating at rock bottom – in most markets, at least.

It is not that difficult to try opening your own grocery store. In fact, many restaurants did exactly that during COVID-19 shutdowns. Realistically, succeeding is going to be nigh impossible, though, as there is not much you can compete on. You are not going to be able to sell the product for less.

It is not meaningfully bound by a regulatory barrier, but it is limited by there being no further room for competitiveness, as also spoken to in the previous comment.
Not really. DPI is dots per inch. As screens were much smaller then, their DPI (or rather PPI) wasn’t much less.

For example, Macintosh was 72 ppi for a long time ( it is 109 ppi now).

My first LCD screen was 15“. And that was for a desktop, not a laptop. 17“ or 19“ were for rich guys or graphics designers ;)

What is certainly the case though is that GUIs nowadays are much more wasteful with space.
The general public submitting CSAM directly would indeed be highly unlikely, but the scenario we need to consider involves those in positions of authority who can manipulate systems behind the scenes.

Imagine that an unflattering or satirical image of Viktor Orban is circulating in France, and let's say it becomes viral, inciting discussions that the Hungarian government finds detrimental to its international image. The authorities might want to suppress this image, not just within Hungary but also in the whole of European Union.

The Hungarian government - who presumably has access to the EU CSAM database (or can coerce those who do), might attempt to add a fingerprint of a manipulated CSAM image that collides with the fingerprint of the satirical image. The principle here is not for public individuals to submit CSAM directly but for government actors to manipulate systems clandestinely.

This could be interesting but the biggest problem is that “unsafe” is a master permission that implies all other permissions in addition to memory and thread safety weaknesses. With unsafe you can do file I/O, process, net etc. for example, the nix crate can do all of this without ever touching the std APIs.

Now of course you could disallow unsafe in most crates, but any that do are now much higher value for compromise.

> That said, using unsafe to say perform network access is harder than just using Rust’s std::net APIs, so we’re at least making it harder for a would-be attacker

No, it’s actually quite easy. Done every day by C and C++ developers and in a few hours you have built up some high level APIs. Heck you can copy paste the std or nix implementations since that’s what they’re doing under the hood anyway.
> But again, one would think that venture capitalists who are throwing apparently, hundreds of millions of dollars into it, would have an eye to filter out this kind of characters.

Yeah, this is the most worrying part to me. Especially after many just got burned by crypto.

I think some of the "filtering" is laundered and disrupted by VCs giving money to legitimate businesses who turn around and spend it on very questionable AI products.

I wish and hope to get back into better daily routine. Maybe I should rediscover his tools and make them mine again.
