Now you're moving the goalposts. Until now you've been demanding that "leaders address salacious allegations brought against them by their own family" and that they "at least produce a public statement". What you're now demanding is the purview of the law, not the board.

If her allegations are true, he should face the consequences, but they should come first through the system that is specifically designed for testing the truth of allegations that are this serious. OpenAI is under no obligation to launch an investigation themselves in response to an indictment-by-Twitter-mob.
I think he is merely pointing out that you can’t just say “someone is doing something that harms me as a result of my speech” and call that censorship. Otherwise literally no one could ever make any decision based on someone’s speech, which is insane. The reason he is asking for precision is because ultimately it is helpful to actually engage with the question of how do we allow debate without turning things into a mess, and that likely requires making some normative statement about what should and should not be ok to do in response to speech.
Perhaps there is no merit. And, if the trial is unfair, I’m sure it will move to a higher level on appeal.

I think this is a good exercise of the judicial branches of our state and federal government. We the people win in the end.
No. This is modern day mysticism. You're just waving your hands and making fuzzy claims about "but what if it was an even better algorithm".
Trends in Cybersecurity: Staying Ahead of Threats
With cyber threats evolving at an astonishing pace, staying informed about the latest trends in cybersecurity is crucial for developers and IT professionals alike. This post will delve into some of the most prominent cybersecurity trends helping to keep digital assets and infrastructures safe.

> The government should have no info on you at all ...

Are you meaning for citizens of the country, or visitors to the country?

If you're meaning for citizens... um... how would the government know you're a citizen if it has no records of you? Ditto for knowing who to collect tax from, although a Good-and-Services-Tax could remove that particular need. ;)
That's the industry lobbying to prevent beneficial regulation for consumers so you're kind of making the opposite point to what you meant, I think.

It's just demand.

We don't call increases in demand 'induced demand' unless we're trying to throw shade on the thing being demanded. The classical case is road use. Add lanes to highways and folks will utilize the capacity to do whatever it is that creates value to them. And we call it induced demand.

If transit headways shrink and there are more riders because the service got better, we don't call it induced demand. Or if milk or eggs get cheaper and consumption of those items grows, it's also not induced demand.
> It started at an Oct. 2 NASCAR race at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama. Brandon Brown, a 28-year-old driver, had won his first Xfinity Series and was being interviewed by an NBC Sports reporter. The crowd behind him was chanting something at first difficult to make out. The reporter suggested they were chanting “Let’s go, Brandon” to cheer the driver. But it became increasingly clear they were saying: “F—- Joe Biden.”

https://apnews.com/article/lets-go-brandon-what-does-it-mean...

So, no, the crowd was not "censored" by a news anchor.

The adoption of "Let's Go Brandon" as a euphimism for "Fuck Joe Biden" may well have been tongue in cheek, but it wasn't mocking media censorship.

> Price-gauging "non-profit" hospitals are mostly an American phenomenon.

That just sounds like a biased and overly emotive+naive response on your part.

Again, most hospitals in the world operate the same way as the US. You can go almost anywhere in SE Asia, Latín América, África, etc and see this. There's a lot more to "outside the US" than Western+Central Europe/CANZUK/Japan. The only difference is that there are strong business incentives to keep the system in place since the entire industry (in the US) is valued at more than most nations' GDP.

But feel free to keep twisting the definition or moving goalposts to somehow make the American system extra nefarious and unique.
A variation on your font idea -- how about using a very small font? Assuming you're a decent touch typist, you should only need to look at the screen occasionally (or you're OK with going back and editing later). Perhaps make the font just large enough for you to see at your normal viewing distance, but difficult to make out when further away. Or choose a low contrast font color to make the font difficult to read at a distance.

I've been pondering a thought that we need to stop treating racism as something like a witch hunt, and analyze it more like excrement. Not something that's limited to specific people, but rather something everyone has a bit of. Not something that can ever be eliminated, but rather it's everyone's responsibility to mitigate it. Anyone can get some on their hands by accident, laziness, or dealing with a problem. But you don't come out of the bathroom waving it around and expecting to be appreciated. And if a bunch of people started proudly declaring that they shouldn't have to wash their hands and generally validating each others' slobbery, they'd be rightfully shunned.

This framing has some nice results like the contortions around "reverse" racism and the whitewashing of "positive" racism as "not racism" aren't necessary. If you're engaging in collectivism based on race, that's racism - regardless of whether your intent is "good" or "bad". And sometimes that's inevitable (cf "dealing with a problem"), but that doesn't mean it's ever something to really be celebrated.

Back to the topic with that in mind - it's "a-ok" because the advertising companies are racist, as they've generally been. Group stereotyping is a deep part of human psychology and therefore a powerful marketing tool. The main things that have changed is what is considered aspirational and high class, and what is considered verboten.

It can "correct" because it just goes out and finds and produces a pattern template that matches the problem better/different (often just different, and it fails in new ways, in my experience). It never used reasoning to find the answer in the first place, and doesn't use reason to find the corrected answer.

In fact, I think the chaos we’ve seen over the last few days shows precisely the difference between competent and incompetent leadership. I think if anyone from, say, the board of directors of Coca-Cola was on the OAI board, this either wouldn’t have happened or would have played out very differently.
A thing I wonder: why is using = padding required in the most common base64 variant?

It's redundant since this info can be fully inferred from the length of the stream.

Even for concatenations it is not necessary to require it, since you must still know the length of each sub stream (and = does not always appear so is not a separator).

There's no way that using the = instead of per-byte length-checking gains any speed, since to prevent reading out of bounds you must check the per byte length anyway, you can't trust input to be a multiple of 4 length.

It could only make sense if it's somehow required to read 4 bytes at once, and you can't possibly read less, but what platform is such?
Hey HN,

Thanks for all the support you folks gave us in the past[1]. At Chatwoot[2], we are developing an open-source[3] customer support platform as an alternative to Intercom and Zendesk. I'm glad to announce our latest AI update. We have been working with the latest LLMs to see if we can assist support staff in reducing their workload.

We have observed large-scale Chatwoot deployments with over 10 million messages. From our discussions with the teams handling these deployments, we noticed two types of queries. The first type consists of simple questions, sometimes with minor tweaks. The second type requires human intervention and typically involves more complex support queries. Many tools first employ an FAQ bot, now an AI bot, before transferring to a human. This process can be frustrating for both the user and the support agent. We have found that customers, especially when they are already frustrated, dislike having to interact with a bot before reaching a human to resolve their issue.

The issue we face is the lack of distinction between the two types of queries. Not all queries are inherently support queries. Sometimes, the customer may not want to search through the documentation, or the documentation may not be well-organized enough to find the answer. Having a chat common chat interface makes it harder for everyone.

We believe that a clear UX distinction can make a significant difference. Here is how we plan to split these conversations.

a/ *Universal search interface*: This is a Chat GPT-like chat that you can integrate into your application. Users can click on the search icon or use CMD+K to access it. They can find answers using your help desk articles and carry out tasks through natural language queries like "Where is my order?" or "When is the next billing date?". We have found this can improve the quality of support requests received.

b/ *Live Chat SDK*: To address complex issues, your customers can communicate directly with you with the live chat SDK.

This approach will clarify expectations for the end customer. Use the search function for straightforward queries and engage with an agent for more complicated ones.

Along with these, we also introduced some updates to the agent interface. These updates will help agents prioritize conversations by auto-tagging them and routing them to the appropriate teams.

We are launching it as a closed beta at the moment to work closely with teams with scale and unique problems. Also, we have not yet figured out how we can add support for the open-source LLMs in different environments, as our installations are one-click at the moment. Adding those would make it complex for everyone.

With all due respect, I think you still define it as a competition or veiled gamification.

The people at SpaceX are largely all scientists, engineers and the like and they build the best they could do with available data. It got them a lot further this time based on the previous data. That is the only metric that really counts. If they got good data they can use to “debug” the rocket (to speak in HN familiar terms) that is a great thing for them, and very valuable.
This is baseless speculation that doesn't make even glancing contact with reality.
I also don't think this will work for them in the context of the Ripple case they just lost - and decided to not appeal - as this will be referenced as part of Kraken's defense.
It'd be very different if the SEC maintained a list of even examples of tokens that are/aren't compliant and a straightforward registration process with active registrants.
The fact that neither of these exist but the SEC likes to pretend they do isn't working in their favour.
There is no such thing as a 'registered securities exchange' for cryptocurrency, so how can they be at fault (note its unregistered, not illegal is the allegation).

I don't know about that. As a reader, I find that "Jewish Communities" very much sounds like "All Jews" and "Muslim Communities" very much sounds like "All Muslims". If that's not what the authors mean, I'm sure that there are much, much better phrasings.

I have no interest in legality or even morality on this topic. This is a question of rhetoric.

The actions in question aren’t a criticism of the ideas of Musk. They are collective actions to harm him by harming his business.

The lawsuit will help determine whether or not those actions were legal.
The irony if WSL on Windows on macOS is the best way to run Docker. (Seriously, does no one at Apple use Docker? Why is it so shit on macOS?)
Yes! I love this description!
Analog is hard, especially when connecting to other devices not made by you. Plus they have to invent solutions that don't infringe on Qualcomm patents.

For some reason Apple bought Intel's modem division that had also failed and added it to their team. I'd have understood if they'd bought just Intel's IP portfolio, but no, they took the whole team and added them to a project in process. It's hard to see how that could speed anything up.

I agree the M series is great. In fact Apple's silicon story for the last 15 years has been quite good -- in contrast to their 80s/90s silicon efforts (apologies to my friends who worked there then).

I'm not sure many understand the historical context of the rise of the Nazis. Germany had just ended up on the losing side of "the war to end all wars" or WW1. In the Treaty of Versailles, which Germany was not allowed to participate in the negotiation of, they were forced to accept all guilt for the war, give up vast tracts of land, and then pay an a unpayable amount on top, which many even at the time argued was excessively myopic.

Following their defeat in WW1, the country fell into civil war which eventually led to the creation of the short lived Weimar Republic. Their economy then collapsed into hyperinflation and was stabilized only by even more lending (and thus more debt) from the West. Then in 1930 the Great Depression hit, which ended that lending, and their entire economy spiraled into destruction, with widespread unemployment and the rise of violent extremism across all political ideologies.

To think this could have been stopped by more censorship is not realistic. In fact censorship was one of the key ways the Nazis finally managed to consolidate power, as they were never especially popular. They never won a single election with a majority. Their best result in anything even vaguely resembling a fair election was in July 1932 where they gained a plurality with 37%. By November, when another election was called after they failed to form a government, they were down to 33%. They only won by shenanigans, and consolidated with censorship and totalitarianism.
Oh man, i’m glad I read this because right now at Google I am immensely frustrated by Google trying to fit their various shaped pegs into the round hole of their one true converged “solution” for any given problem.

My friends and I say “see, Amazon doesn’t have to deal with this crap, each team can go build their own whatever”. Buut, I guess that’s how you get 12 CMSs for one org.
That may very well be your own bias. If I say "Christian Communities hate gays", you'll probably think of one or two specific communities. When I saw "Jewish Communities" in gp's headline, I immediately thought "oh, the ADL", because they're bigots and don't really hide it.
I have a model Y and it's easily the best car I have ever owned. But that doesn't say anything about how it will be in 5 years.
Appeal to hallucinated authority
It occurs to me that I may have misinterpreted GGP's post, but if he's talking about the Texas Attorney General bringing some kind of claim on behalf of Texas, filing suit outside of Texas would be improper venue.

(If talking about the X lawsuit, which I didn't even realize existed until just now, that's a tangential matter to the OP.)
> But so does the equivalent trash of "all whites are racist", which for some reason is a-ok for the advertising companies.

Is it okay with them? Any kind of proof to back this up?
The fundamental paradox of free speech is that protection of speakers from consequences of their free speech necessarily imposes on others' free speech, while not providing that protection also imposes on the speaker's free speech. No matter how you want to draw that line, you end up hurting somebody.

SCOTUS has essentially "solved" the problem by deciding that the government just can't ever decide how to draw the line. If you look at the history of free speech cases, SCOTUS almost invariably decides to permit the speech, pushing the bar for illegality further and further back. Private parties suing each other for violating free speech is essentially non-justiciable (okay, there's defamation, but the grounds for defamation are very extreme in the US so as to be almost never applicable, as Twitter will find out multiple times in the next few months).

If you're running a social media site, well, you similarly have to face these conundrums. But if you're reliant on advertisers for your income, you'll also find that you can't just nope out of it. Mike Masnick has a good guide on just how difficult it is for these companies (https://www.techdirt.com/2022/11/02/hey-elon-let-me-help-you...), which I'm sure Popehat would endorse.

At the end of the day, you can't win. You have to piss off somebody. And, personally, I'm not going to side with the faction that wants to deny my right to existence.

Your right to freedom of speech does not invalidate other people's right to freedom of association. That isn't a problem, it's a feature. We have very narrow exceptions to freedom of association, to prevent discrimination. Outside of those exceptions, people always have the right to say "I want nothing to do with you", and that's a very powerful right. That isn't a problem that needs solving, it's a feature to be cherished.
They have customers and people deciding if they want to be customers.

You've successfully formulated the reasoning behind the legal "public figure" [1] standard from first principles.

Elon Musk, especially when speaking in his capacity as owner of X, is unquestionably a public figure in a way that Hacker News commenter "medler" is not. (So is Media Matters.)

You say "that's obvious" but your terminology is ambiguous. I wouldn't say "Muslim communities bombed Israel". To me, that sounds something along the lines of "the predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East teamed up and bombed Israel".
An API can return JSON, XML, HTML microformats, maybe even a binary encoding of some kind, possibly more down the road. All of these are serialized formats for objects.

Of course you can have a unique URL for each format and avoid the accept header, just like you don't technically need more than GET and POST methods.
Yep. Where you can see them really get tripped up is if there's multiple "levers" or points for potential contradiction. Lots of dependent clauses, chains of predicates that all have to line up for something to make sense. When they get one item wrong, they don't "see" the consequences for the others. And if you get them to correct one, they'll then often turn around and mess up the others.

Because at no point is the "mind" involved doing a step by step reduction of the problem. It doesn't do formal reasoning.

Humans usually don't either, but they can almost all do a form of it when required to. Either under the assistance of a teacher, or in extremis when they need to. We've all had the experience of being flustered, taking a deep breath, and then "working through" something. After spending time with GPT, etc it becomes clear they're not doing that.

It's not that reasoning comes intrinsic to all human thoughts -- we're far lazier than that -- but when we need to, we can usually do it.
