Depends on what sort of security you work, but companies who work for state or military related security might be easy targets.

Security means money and can mean violence.

There are computer security people who work for intel agencies, those are the people I am talking about.

Even people who work for securing data of companies, those people might also be targets.
The fact that it is voluntary is kinda beside the point. If you define "free speech" in such a way that you draw a line somewhere, you're missing out on a way to talk about some of the more insidious ways that our society polices speech.

Peer pressure is not censorship, but we still need to talk about it.
>Just like women have the right to walk down the street in whatever clothing they want without getting raped

Do men, and lesbian and bisexual women, have the right to walk down the street without seeing a woman dressed in a way they find distracting?

I think you will say that they have no such right. But if so: What makes this form of attention-grabbing behaviour (wearing a skimpy dress) acceptable, and the other form (advertising) unacceptable?

This example highlights that (a) we are, in fact, capable of managing distractions to quite some degree, and (b) in both cases there is another party involved whose interests oppose our own, but whose rights nevertheless also need to be considered.
That's a red herring. Win11 supports cpus with lots of bugs. Imagine what the errata document for the Snapdragon CPUs looks like.

Afaik it's mostly about TPM 2.0 and virtualization support.

If people are happy or stuck with their fully working machines, it should not be up to Microsoft to arbitrarily turn them into e-waste.

I use Edge for my work profile and Vivaldi for my casual browsing. Having got an assigned work, I open Edge, only to be greeted with the sidebar that tries to promote the "New Bing" and all the AI stuff. It left me wondered why it was there as it's very distracting. I checked the settings to turn it off, and indeed, the settings show that it was turned off (probably since the very first time it shoved into my face), yet the sidebar still appears. Have to flip the switch to turn it off again for now, but it's terrible to see that it doesn't respect my choice, even more than its (several) attempt to get itself as a default browser.
My opinion on this topic, while perhaps not as strong as yours, is similar.

I think we inadvertantly created a similar dependence in our daughter, albeit with books rather than electronics.

She is 10 now and, aside from some exposure at school, she has never been allowed personal use of computers and the various computer-like devices we have today.

We did reading curriculum at home between 4 and 5. By 6 she was reading on her own for pleasure.

Today the child walks from room to room in the house with a book. Car rides without a book are accompanied with groans and anger. Any situation where boredom could set in is much worse if she doesn't have a book. She has to be specifically prodded not to read in order to get ready for school, etc, in a timely fashion.

I don't wish we'd done anything differently, but when she does eventually have access to electronics I fear she is going to transfer her extreme book "dependency" to electronics easily.
We started work on an open-source LLM-powered media filter at OpenLocus (https://github.com/openlocus), aiming for an alpha release by late 2023.

In the more medium term we are collaborating on improving information overload, filter bubbles & misinformation with labs at AllenAI, CMU, UPenn & Utah.

We're still doing a lot better than Reddit for example. Pointing out the civilian death toll and how it's only creating the next generation of Hamas fighters tends to turn into absolute shit show.
Thank you for that information. This will be a fun dive into one of my more favorite games.
With how much information can be purchased or gathered about a person, it seems worthwhile for someone to do a deep dive on a random selection of participants.
Based on the type certificates for the common airplanes and engines I looked at, the type certificates were re-issued with 100LL as an/the approved fuel under the type design. (This would be done after testing as required by FAA.)

That’s what the STC process does legally, just being done by the engine/airframe manufacturer instead of third party (presumably because they wanted to continue selling engines/airframes).
I've always seen the American economy as a tool to generate precarity in the working and middle classes (tying your access to healthcare to employment is example one for me) in order to benefit the owning class. I mean, we call it a capitalist economy, not a laborist one; it's not that much of a stretch that it's built to serve owners of capital. I've long been regarded as a depressed malcontent for this view, and yet it seems that over the last few years that most people I know have come around to something like this view. Even my boomer parents who used to have an unshakeable work ethic have become cynical to the system (my mother's employer was bought by a private equity firm and I'm pretty sure their main goal was to drive out any remaining joy that might have lingered in her job).

There has always been propaganda and misinformation, why should it only now start to have this effect? Perhaps the pandemic simply changed peoples' perspectives.
A linked article from El Reg (2021) also mentions a TPM 2.0 module as required:

So there may be a good # of systems lacking that but otherwise fully functional.

CPU bugs or vulnerabilities hardly ever prevent running a newer OS. Never mind that those may have been patched or mitigated in the meantime by BIOS or microcode updates.

So imho this is just forced upgrading (as usual). "Buy new PC, get new OS". Hopefully this crap drives more users to Linux or *BSD.
Rural places can be, and should be, one of the best places for independent mobility in kids, but unfortunately are often the worst, since you have no footpaths (aka sidewalk or pavement) and the roads are full of high speed traffic with no shoulder.

Disclaimer - I made it - but I talk about this a bit in a short video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ba7xHUdeew about my experience biking in rural Ireland with kids.
I can try to elaborate, but my claims (and they are just claims), should be interpreted just as narrowly as you would when reading code, because changing even one little thing breaks the message:

In the context of: "The kids I meet as a clinical psychologist":
The ratio of kids "damaged" by neglect and impoverished homes, versus the kids that were struggling with anxiety or apathy caused by overprotection, was about 50-50.
This resulted in me spending as much time strengthening the social network around neglected kids, as I spent trying to get parents to stop overprotecting kids.

That doesn't mean that overprotection is as bad as neglect. There are SO many variables in play. For instance: Overprotective parents might also be over-represented in the mental health services, because they are much faster to ask for referrals. For instance, if 10% of the population is neglected, and 1% is clinicaly-overprotected, but the overprotecting parents get referred at 10x the rate, they will make up about the same amount of cases in a clinic.

Based on my anecdotal experience, here are my hypotheses:

Given a normal distribution of "overprotection," the top 1% will be at serious risk of mental health problems.

Overprotection is easier to fix, as kids from impoverished homes are statistically at both an economic and cognitive disadvantage. As such, overprotection i a more unnecessary source suffering.

All things being equal, I think neglect is a stronger risk factor than overprotection
How is it a signature of urban environments? I moved from the countryside to a city a few months ago and have already made more friends than I did in years in the country.
I disagree with the statement ”the best modern works are less deep, less able to interest you, than the best past works.”.

That might have been true for you, but I don’t think it is a general perception for everyone.

The problem I see is just of filtering. The best current works are a few among thousands of new works coming up every year. While the best past works are the only works that remain from the past. You see a good list of past books from some erudite person with similar perception of the world than you and you are set.

While the same person doing a similar list from current works will be much more hit and miss. No one would have the time to read all that is published everywhere.

While the past has a filter that allows you to be able to read such diverse great works as Kafka, Cervantes, and James Joyce.
The paranoid culture doesn’t seem to have served Intel very well for the past 10-15 years.
Not necessarily true anymore. As a counterexample, consider CodeLlama 33b, which is quite good (and which has replaced GPT-4 for my coding assistant needs).

OpenAI's models are likely to remain the best, but I see open models catching up and becoming "good enough." Why pay for GPT-4 when I can run a model locally for free? (Barring the initial capital cost of a GPU; and not even this if you're, say, using a Macbook)

Space is also hot.

NASA temperature conditions for flight hardware is as follows: LEO -65 ºC to +125 ºC, with 6,000 cycles/yr depending on orbit height. GEO is -196 ºC to +128 °C, with 90 cycles/yr.

That is some serious Thermal stress. Never mind the fact that it is also being blasted with UV radiation.

I do think it's just a lot harder to find good modern works.

There was plenty of trash written in the early 20th century. We've forgotten about it, for the most part. Anything still in print from 100 years ago is probably the best that the early 1900s has to offer. We've had 100 years to curate the list of the "best literature of the 1910s". Easy to find the good works in there.
Sure, though there's an avalanche of horrible news too. The non-anthropogenic rise in methane suggests we may have triggered feedback loops we can't stop.
Like yes, as long as GPT-4 remains the most useful (and now they have multi-modality in Plus so they've just extended their lead) nobody will adopt anything else.

So grandparent's argument makes even less sense as search should also be fungible but it isn't when Google still provides the best search product and has since it started. If OpenAI can maintain that lead and continue to ship improvements that continue to push their peak higher, most people will not pay for anything less even when that price is free.
That’s part of it. But a bigger part, at least in the United States, are laws that basically require you (or another adult) to supervise your child at all times until they are 12-15 depending on the state.

> Early last year or so I've read that people were lamenting on how Google at the time was struggling to monetize Deepmind products

The problem was that all of the ML/AI products would demonetize Google's flagship moneymaker.

Everybody is trying to use ML/AI to undo all the damage the Google monopoly on search has done to the web ecosystem. Microsoft is fine with this for now because Google has the dominant position.

It is pretty clear, however, that this is not a sustainable situation. At some point, people are somehow going to want to turn ML/AI into cash extraction from end users. How to do that isn't obvious.
Obviously there could be many factors. I want to point out, though, that a caloric deficit is a marginal difference. That means small changes in the base calorie intake can lead to a many-fold increase in your caloric deficit.

As an example, let’s say you go from a healthy adult at 18 years old and 160 lbs, to an obese adult at 40 and 300 pounds. That’s 140 pounds over 22 years. If a pound of weight is gained after 3,500 excess calories, then this person only consumed roughly 60 extra calories a day. If they consumed only 20 excess calories a day, they would be 195. Overweight, but still relatively healthy. It doesn’t take a lot of sugar to add 40 or 60 calories to someone’s diet and leave everything else unchanged.
Lego still sells buckets of bricks. When we take our kid to the store, he wants the kits in pop culture themes. When he's home playing, he wants more basic blocks.

Right - we can talk about it as peer pressure. We don't need to group all modulations of the public discourse as "violations" of "free speech" or "failures" to support "free speech."

I think there's probably a lot more trash today. There's a lot more of everything.

then keep doing that, if thats productive. But once that turns into "If you are a (oudated, unsecure) Windows user who uses (outdated, unsecure) Windows software", there is an argument to be made for someone to make an alternative that is easy to transition to. I dont think its on the users, I'm saying this should be seen as opening up a niche and take the opportunity to exploit this market weakness.

The mentions of Jim O'Rourke took me back to a meeting with him I've never forgotten. Thought others would enjoy hearing.

Our paths used to cross in Chicago through a mutual friend when Jim was in his early 20s. Through the mutual friend, I had heard a story that Jim had purchased a fax machine--something reserved for big corporation at the time--and was sending his scores around the world.

One night all of us ended up at the Old Town Ale House on North Avenue in Chicago, a real old school funky mix kind of a place. Jim sat next to me at one of the two tables by the windows. He pulled a photo out of his wallet, the way people share photos of kids. This picture, though, was of an old record producer he loved. Then Jim laid out a precise vision of an album he hoped to make some day. The vision he shared became Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. Wilco did not even exist as Wilco at the time of this get together. This is one of my first direct exposures to a person with a distant dream becoming a reality.

Many years later I was flipping through the Sunday Chicago Tribune. The edition had a full page story on Jim when he decided to move from Chicago to New York.

A number of years after that, one Sunday I decided to walk to a local gas station to surprise my wife with the Sunday New York Times. What article happened to be inside? A full page piece on Jim moving from New York to Japan.
People helicopter parent children because they have so few children today. This intensifies risk adversity and the default behavior is to over protect and smother their kid since it gives a sense of control.

When people had more kids they could look after each other, and although a tragedy if you lost one you still had others left. Additionally when you have many kids it’s not possible to helicopter them.

And what is the value proposition compared to Reddit or some other existing, nomad-specific sites?
Well, let me take this seriously for a moment. I believe that companies which don't have dedicated testers today are the same companies which didn't have dedicated testers before.

We really use the language of "users doing the testing" jokingly. No software is written w/o testing, not even very trivial programs would run firs time. So, we just mean that there wasn't enough testing, when we say that.

There is a process, however, that is meant to decrease the number of testers employed. The more testing can be automated, the fewer testers would be necessary... but that hinges on the premise that prior number of testers was somehow sufficient for the amount of testing that was necessary. I believe though that the number of testers hired was a function of budget more than anything else. There's never enough testing, and, in principle, it's hard to see how testing can be exhaustive. So, hopefully, with more automation, it's possible to test more, but, I believe that the number of testers will remain more or less the function of budget.

I am moving from the tech world into long form fiction, so I find the intersection of fiction and comments from folks on HN interesting.

Definitions matter. To me, art is emotional impact over time. Good art can impact you emotionally from hundreds of years ago. Bad art doesn't even hold your attention all the way through the presentation. (The impact does not have to be positive or negative; some of the best art can really bum you out)

I was watching an interview with an animator a while back. What did he think of all the new cool animation tools?

He gushed over the awesome tech and the wonderful talent that's out today. It's amazing and incredible compared to just a few decades ago.

Then he said something very interesting. After making sure folks realized he wasn't criticizing all modern animation, he said that he thought it all kind of looked the same. It was all perfect, and all perfect in the same way.

We have seen this happen to fiction over the last 50-70 years. Even when it's good, it's all kinda the same anymore. It's different and excellent, but in the same ways all fiction is. It's not unusual when experiencing a book or movie to get all hyped up by what you expect the experience to be, to gush while experiencing it how awesome it was, and to have no recollection at all even a month later what was so good about it.

If you want to feel sad for art, drop in on a reddit post where somebody asks "What's the best X?" where X can be a book, movie, podcast, etc.

It's all stuff over the past ten years, and it always is. We are in a state of perpetual forgetting and recycling canned emotions. The classics aren't the classics because they're better. They're the classics because they encourage us to create the same level of quality material. Sometimes they do so over our lifetime.

This is all marketing/commoditization at work, of course, and I'm not negative long-term. I think most artists see this. But there's a hella lot of denial going on, mostly from folks looking to pump up the next plasticine marketing special effects kabuki dance.

This is the first time I see how the famous equation
