Yes. But that's the law. The law can be changed. There just needs to be a supportive majority for that. Them(TM) opaque private companies also have to obey the same laws as me and me as whatever can force them to accept certain things. Even though Them don't want it.

They're just excel their granted rights. Sometimes more than that. Then, sometimes get fined or worse. I also can do my right flipping and creative money laundering as well. I have more to lose, I guess, is the reason I don't.

But I'm pretty aware of my rights :)

So I have to accept that and insist on that this has to be accepted haha

That’s a very good point. I feel, however, that the main idea is that bad philosophy is what ultimately fuels complexity.

The grug brain philosophy is simplicity at all costs, unless absolutely unavoidable.

The big brain philosophy as grug sees it is reusability at all costs, unless absolutely unavoidable.

The issue with this philosophy is that it tends to lock in first generation design choices and makes iteration more difficult.

It’s true that simplicity is difficult to find, but iteration is the key to finding simplicity.
Well it wasn't always a case for the Asian community either yet somehow the Asian community thrives today.

The same can be said for other white communities too like the Irish and the Italians.
To the extent that AI poses a threat to the world's long- existing power structures, it will certainly be well-regulated. The calculated reasons will certainly not point in that direction.
I wish, but right now it is all internal company stuff. I'd like to build something publicly accessible with it someday though so maybe I'll do a Show HN if I have something worth releasing.

We bought their kits but after reading their terms and conditions never used them. It was clearly a land grab.

Hardly matters as close relatives did it anyways.

We need a privacy bill of rights that keeps companies from using our very DNA like this in the first place. without a strong legal framework, misuse is inevitable.

Also, consider that much genetic information about an entire lineage is revealed by one person opting in for the entire lineage. This has implications beyond one persons choice, and those implications are long reaching and will become increasingly economically impactful as technology matures. Is it morally correct that companies can know tons of genetic information about people who never opted in merely because they share DNA with one that does? It’s not handled in the T&Cs that’s for sure. Not has 23andMe ever addressed it.
> The Tesla deal was executive hubris -- an activist CEO (INTERIM CEO at that) of a ruined global company in bankruptcy trying to make a name for himself by swinging for the fences.

I was with you all the way until you revealed that it was Mark Fields. The guy that saved Mazda, turned around Aston Martin, Land Rover, and then Ford; responsible for making sure the Mustang Mach-E was produced, and then retired after decades in the auto industry.

They dragged him out of a very rich retirement, and he certainly made the mistake that Teslas are cheap/easy to operate at scale. But trying to make a name for himself - definitely not.
Who says you can get more done for the country in this role than you could working in a research lab at a tech company? Certainly US advances at companies do A LOT for the country and it's HARD to get anything done in the government. So, for the top AI talent this appears to target, this is the opportunity to get paid way less to accomplish less..... Why would anyone do that?

They're not sociopaths. A lot of them are just very risk intolerant. Sociopaths tend to leverage or create a problem for their own gain, as opposed to just failing to help. Sure, if you see someone chuckling with glee while passively observing a dumpster fire, they might be a sociopath, but a lot of people are just scared or incapable of making decisions under pressure.
Even pure python ones are not all usable, as "it includes a subset of the standard library" (so a pure python library that uses some standard library API not in the subset wont be usable).
I'm surprised given the makeup of the hackernews crowd there aren't more people who appreciate this here.

I only know a few folks who work at the big AI labs but it's very clear to me that they are personally worried about existential risk.

Do people here not have friends and family working at these labs? I just figured people here would be more exposed to folks working in the leading labs.
Hmmm. What do you think the outcome will be then?
>How does that make sense?

In a word: discernment. If it's a miniature poodle, you can probably chill. If it's a big dog, it's probably worthwhile to enforce the law.

It actually is a pretty good example of overreach insofar as you're advocating the removal of any judgement call from the equation. That is the surest way to build a relentless bureaucratic machine that makes everyone miserable without actually protecting anyone.

The human in the loop is a feature, not a bug.
Just playing the cards here, but if my IQ is 155
and yours is 120. Why should I listen to you?

A few possible reasons, some overlapping to various extents, not applicable to all situations.

- The person with 120 IQ is a subject matter expert in this particular matter and you are not.

- IQ is an approximation. It is probably the best one we have, but it is a very blunt and generalized metric. It is not evenly distributed across all areas of reasoning and functioning. A person with a 155 IQ or even a 200 IQ is going to be great at many things and awful at others. A person with 120 or even 80 IQ may be better in specific areas.

- Both you and the 120 IQ person might be overqualified for the matter at hand, so your "extra" intelligence is irrelevant.

- The person with 120 IQ is representing something larger than themselves, the accumulated wisdom of which dwarfs yours (imagine, I don't know, a 120 IQ forest ranger telling you how you should/shouldn't interact with particular flora and fauna)

- It may be a situation where it is impractical to have individualized rules for highly intelligent or highly capable individuals.
The problem is they don't cure you of genetic disorders. They treat you -- forever, until you die.

There are zero incentives for them to comply and zero ways a person can make them accountable. If your SSN can be leaked and nothing will happen why would they care about scrappable pictures?

Show HN: Discourse – Wikipedia for Sensitive Topics
We just launched our open beta of Discourse and would love feedback.

We’re a group of professionals from across technology & journalism who all have a shared experience working with sensitive topics and misinformation online. We built Discourse as a way to fill a gap we continued to see in our day jobs: a trustworthy and simple way to understand challenging topics. Discourse is unique in that it (a) combines multiple viewpoints into one place and (b) allows for Wiki-style crowd suggestions. While other sources try to be 'fair and balanced' off the bat, our belief is that it takes time, feedback, and iteration to get there - and the team has built the site around this.

We’d love your feedback about how we’re presenting and summarizing the full picture to present a more balanced view of complex topics like the Future of AI, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Climate Change, Defunding the Police, and more. Is the formatting easy to follow? Is the wiki component clear? Are opposing viewpoints being presented fairly? We want to hear it all.

For more on Discourse check out indiscourse.com/about – thanks for your feedback!

The future is Wall-E...
Some companies attempt to hit every link in order to cache the link and then embed their own link so that they can track those links, and also to examine for malware. I work for a marketing SaaS and what made us break away from the monolith structure was that our server was getting blasted to hell and back by the sheer volumes of tracking links that were automatically followed by email providers.
"For example, you've run 234,745 INSERTs into [table name deleted]_HOURLY and ALL of them were under 1000 rows."

That's an actual quote from our org's snowflake support slack, about pretty much the same problem: lighting up the cluster with a bunch of tiny transactions spread out in time. The product is not made for common use cases like trickle loading.

I'm an actual experienced data warehouse admin, so I'm watching them rediscover my job description one cost overrun at a time. They unironically say things like "It's self-managing, but you need to monitor costs and rewrite loads and queries to run more efficiently". I'm afraid to ask them what they think I do all day.

That's rather ridiculous. There's a good reason not to put a one-click unsubscribe button in the email (email scanners will GET every URL you link to check for malware and you end up auto-unsubbing your recipients) but emails already inherently contain personal information: the email address they're directed to.

Honestly sounds like I'm on the side of Gmail here.

Think about this from the perspective of an actual spammer. You get a notification that address XYZ is marked as spam by user ABC. Well, now you just email user ABC from a different address.
Why wouldn't you be able to set up your own email server anymore?

Yes, you need to configure authentication (DKIM, rDNS and preferably DMARC) but you should be doing that anyway, the hard requirement doesn't change that.

One-click unsubscribe is required for bulk email, but you probably don't want to be sending bulk mail from your self-hosted solution anyway.

Anti-spam isn't killing the internet, spammers did.
I agree, they could make two models that cater both the markets they are gong for which are "mini servers" for lans and iot where no one needs to look at the monitor and you access it with ssh/vnc, and "mini desktops" for education where an active user sits in front of a monitor.

So:

- Pi Server: without all the stuff that not belong in it -- for a cheap price like you said

- Pi Desktop: with all the stuff that belongs there -- for a premium price.

Of course this means double design, double production line, double testing,. support, etc. And will most likely reduce revenue. This is probably why they go with the all in one approach.
It doesn’t have to be to someone’s detriment - it can just be unethical. The obvious agenda here is for a private company to use DNA data sets to develop/streamline drugs and profit handsomely (or write off any losses on their taxes). To me it is offensive that as a society we tolerate shit like this, but maybe I’m an outlier. Though, like most other commenters, I don’t see how anyone who signed up for this service did not see this coming.

Wikipedia started out as a copy of a public domain edition of EB.

Since then, lots of folks have edited and contributed content.

It was a pretty open secret that when Funk & Wagnalls (where Encarta got its content) was first starting that they would pay college students to write articles, the college students would crib from EB or some other similar source, and then submit that.
Article author here, thank you so much for posting this! I truly appreciate it :-)
> They're a mouse but you hold them in your hand and wave them around to move the pointer, like a Wiimote

This part got me really excited...

> The mouse pointer part sucks in my experience

...but then this killed it.

So, follow-up question: is there anything like this which works well as a mouse pointer too? I love the experience of using the Wii Remote as a mouse, and I'd love a device like that which is made for PC and works without a fuss (or a sensor bar).
You do realise that if people’s intellectual work is not protected there wont be any intellectual work left, right? Why would i create something knowing you can just grab it and use it? Communism did the same to physical property, where you didnt own much and everything belonged to everyone. That didnt end particularly well because people inherently want to own things, especially the output of their own creation. Sure you can use it, but according to the terms and conditions of the owner. Same goes for owning objects. You can use my car if i let you use my car.
> Intel ended up cancelling the Pentium 5 and instead going ahead with a much modernized Pentium III core for their Core release which made up the initial release of Intel Macs because AMD were eating their lunch.

Intel based the Core on Pentium M, because Pentium 4 sucked. AMD happened to be competitive at that point of time, but that doesn't mean that without AMD, Intel would be blind to the fact that Pentium 4 didn't achieve Intel's own expectations - the NetBurst's ability to scale up frequency (they targeted 10 GHz) and keep wattage/heat in check simply did not work out.

Very interesting! My grandfather had a store in San Pedro, and I always heard it pronounced the way you describe. I live in the Bay Area but have never heard of San Pedro Square. I wonder if it's pronounced more authentically because of (1) the time period in which it was built/popularized, or (2) the local population. I assume that geographic areas named these days are somewhat more likely to be pronounced authentically (at least Spanish-language ones, in areas like CA that now have large Spanish-speaking populations). Also, from a look at Google Maps, it appears there are a lot of Spanish-language businesses in the area. If the area is largely Spanish-speaking, there's a much better chance it would be pronounced authentically.
measure LOC in my opinion. the local minima will move around based on the complexity of what you’re building - so there’s room for many reasonably intelligent opinions to be right. imperfect measure but directionally correct, works great on log scale

Was the resume lying? What's the discrepancy?

If they want exact dates of employment then by all means give it to them. If they ask during the interview, tell them. I have never seen an interview cycle get that picky about dates.

If you really want an unethical life protip, tell them you were caring for a sick family member. Do you think they'll press on that button?

>They are not thinking about every single line of code that they write

Honestly for me over-engineering is usually the result of the opposite. Thinking too much when writing and having preconceived ideas about what a codebase ought to look like.

It was Casey from Handmade Hero IIRC who called his style of programming "compression based", effectively just writing code and factoring out what belongs together incrementally. Abstracting things out as they repeat, not consciously by design. I've taken this up more and more as a way to program.
I just had this experience today. The problem is that at least in the States the regulation is ambiguous enough to be abused to hell and back. Unsubscribe in the States could mean “Unsubscribe from all” or “Unsubscribe from 1 of 20” or it could mean “unsubscribe from all now, but we will arbitrarily resign you up for some new newsletter whenever we feel like it”. I got a spam email today from some no name dropshipper I bought contacts from probably a decade ago, I got LASIK 3 years ago and haven’t needed contacts since.

Some large companies even flagrantly violate the extremely lax rules that exist in the States. Guitar Center has infamously been sending me emails that are in direct violation of the one click unsubscribe regulations for almost a decade now. I can’t even sign in to the account to cancel the emails (which is in direct violation of the regulation- it is ambiguous on a lot of things but the one thing that it isn’t is that you aren’t supposed to be required to log in to opt out of email communications) because it was made with my dad’s email from 20 years ago yet I’m the recipient of the spam.

I did report them; but of course nothing must have happened because they are still doing it.

> there is vastly more economic inequality now than there was in the 60s

Increased inequality doesn't imply the absolute level of welfare of anyone has decreased, I don't think you should include it in your list. If my life is 2x better than in the 60s, the fact that there are people out there with 100x better lives doesn't mean my life is worse.
> The conscripts of the IJA weren't trained specifically to commit atrocities.

Maybe not directly.

100s of thousands of people don't commit atrocities just out of the blue.

Their doctrine was pretty hardcore.

If just seeing a dog without a leash is enough for you to feel in danger you probably shouldn't leave your home, let alone go to the park. That aside, you don't have a right to not feel in danger. You don't even have a right to not be in danger, though you do have a right to not be put in danger deliberately or by negligence.

> (b) The term “artificial intelligence” or “AI” has the meaning set forth in 15 U.S.C. 9401(3): a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. Artificial intelligence systems use machine- and human-based inputs to perceive real and virtual environments; abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and use model inference to formulate options for information or action.

Oops, I made a regulated artificial intelligence!

Does Google even sell BIMI compatible certificates? I don't think they're making any money with that protocol.

BIMI does solve some issues with DKIM, so I can see why Google prefers it. Requiring what should be a minor fee for any company to do bulk email will also make it difficult to set up a thousand different spam domains.

In computing we often like to conflate "ordered tuples of numbers" with "vectors." This vocabulary is even cooked into the C++ standard library.

The difference is that mathematical vectors support some additional operations, such as addition and scalar multiplication.

A vector in C++ is not a mathematical vector, since we can't add two vectors x+y, nor can we perform scalar multiplication a*v.

For mathematical vectors we have this interpretation: An abstract vector is constructed by multiplying the numbers in the ordered tuple each by a corresponding abstract "basis vector" and adding up the results. The numbers are just the "coordinates" of a vector with respect to a particular basis.

It may or may not make sense to talk about "basis vectors" in your application.

Does it make sense to perform "coordinate transformations" on your objects?

Another test is, "Do you want to use linear algebra?" If so, your objects are probably vectors.

A similar but more egregious argument comes about with regard to tensors. Mathematically a tensor is a kind of function that takes vectors and co-vectors as arguments. A matrix, when coupled with the rules for multiplying matrices by row and column vectors, is a tensor.

But an arbitrary n-dimensional array of numbers is not (necessarily) a tensor in the mathematical sense. Unfortunately that term was co-opted by the ML crowd because it sounds cool. :-)

Getting back to what you mentioned about vectors having magnitude - in an abstract vector space, there is no definition of magnitude. It's not until you define an inner product that magnitude becomes defined. In this sense the grade-school definition of a vector as "a quantity with a magnitude and direction" does not necessarily comport with the standard definition of a mathematical vector space.

We like to say that "a tensor is an object that transforms like a tensor" and the same is true for vectors. "A vector is an object that transforms like a vector" under coordinate transformations, while also supporting addition and scalar multiplication.

To address your question more directly: typically "points" (in so much as they are relative to a coordinate system) really are "vectors". But general tuples of numbers are not necessarily.
It's translated liberally, just as "freedom of the press" means more than freedom to print on sheets of paper.
Yes, we should make parents investing in their children illegal.

At birth, children will hidden from the eyes of the parents and transferred to the community. The child will be part of the community and the community will provide for all equally. They will be rotated out on a weekly basis amongst couples to be raised and nurtured temporarily, so every child will have the closest possible exact same upbringing.

Those who grow tall too fast will have weights put on them, those who show intellectual aptitude will be given booze to slow their development.

Then one day a child escapes, runs through the corn fields to freedom, and immediately gets run over by a AI controlled John Deere harvester, for the children are fast, but the harvester is faster.
Why? People choose to upload their data if they want to. If by 'stealing' you mean your voluntary upload and not reading the TOS it's hard to have sympathy.
