X seems to acknowledge that following Nazis and brands will lead to brand ads next to Nazi content if you scroll enough.

This is from the lawsuit:

"Media Matters executed this plot in multiple steps, as X’s internal investigations
have revealed. First, Media Matters accessed accounts that had been active for at least 30 days,
bypassing X’s ad filter for new users. Media Matters then exclusively followed a small subset of
users consisting entirely of accounts in one of two categories: those known to produce extreme,
fringe content, and accounts owned by X’s big-name advertisers. The end result was a feed
precision-designed by Media Matters for a single purpose: to produce side-by-side ad/content
placements that it could screenshot in an effort to alienate advertisers."
Thank you for making this comment. I completely agree that Boeing and Lockheed suck. They are some of the most immoral companies in the world and I'm happy for any damage done to them, but I didn't see anyone else comment their dislike of these companies in this thread which concerned me.

Just to correct the analogy, it’d be the person speed running describing what they did in an article and the developer suing them.
The "lying" line in the original announcement feels like where the good gossip is. The general idea of "Altman was signing a bunch of business deals without board approval, was told to stop by the board, he said he would, then proceeded to not stop and continue the behavior"... that feels like the juicy bit (if that is in fact what was happening, I know nothing).

This is all court intrigue of course, but why else are we in the comments section of an article talking about the internals of this thing? We love the drama, don't we.

I'm quite certain they were genuinely interested in seeing what happens when they consumed Nazi content.
Very cool, is Next support planned? I haven't tried onboarding yours, but I like your focus on easy setup. Datadog has become more difficult to setup over time. Sentry, PostHog, and SigNoz were fast to setup but I could never get metrics from my app to be received by any of them. Maybe I was rate limited or maybe it was a config problem, but never got them to work. How much traffic can it handle and what's the pricing for cloud? Can't find pricing on your site.

How are you different from the 20+ existing monitoring solutions?

Is Glass Steagall still a thing?
I mean, yeah, there are multiple reasons. Outside of MS having to write something that's universally compatible with way more hardware, it's also that Windows is very anachronistic and backwards-compatible in comparison to macOS. Their OS has a lot of baggage, which makes porting difficult but makes customers (especially corporate ones) happy. You can still run plenty of NT programs built in the 90s on Windows 11, while macOS will be happy to obsolete some piece of software after only a few years. This is also what leads to the whole UI inconsistency thing - the reason why you can still get the NT 3.5 dialogue boxes is because Windows has an immeasurable amount of stuff packed into it.

But to be fair, Apple has also been slipping in the UI department a bit - it's always jarring to see programs have different title bar button sizes (and title bar sizes themselves), as if it's not standardized. Also, their stubbornness to stick to the whole "workspaces, not windows" paradigm from the 90s makes macOS extra annoying to use.
At this point I’m assuming the employees signing the letter are aware of enough details to decided whether or not Sam did something so wrong he should have been fired. With this many employees siding with Sam, I can’t imagine this looks good if any of this goes to a jury in the lawsuits that follow.
The first part is correct, the rest is technocratic handwaving over real concerns based on real experiences that lead to dire consequences that cannot be undone and often aren't fully known until it's too late to undo them.
A board can be power hungry as well.
"she's also admitting that IBM, Comcast, Oracle, Apple, etc. are paying for ads that not a single authentic user has seen."

No, she's saying what she said:

"saw IBM’s, Comcast’s, or Oracle’s ads next to the content in Media Matters’ article. Only 2 users saw Apple’s ad next to the content, at least one of which was Media Matters. "

I totally agree in general but usually early stage tech companies have decent boards. Usually because it is investors representing their interests. Also, in a nascent tech sector you usually have at least the appearance of strong reputation, like Theranos for example. That said, if we look at OpenAI like the non-profit it was founded to be, those are exactly as you describe, a fun way to boost reputation for rich people and dole out some cash to connections. Also, Sam and Greg were cut out of the board, they were likely the true boardroom know how.
Some hot takes there but this one I liked:

> People building AGI unable to predict consequences of their actions 3 days in advance.

It’s a reasonable point if these are the people building the future of humanity it’s a little concerning they can’t predict the immediate consequences of their own actions.

On the other hand it shows some honesty being able to admit a mistake in public, also something you might want out of someone building the future of humanity.
> UDP is often blocked by default by corporate firewalls.

I mean, that sounds a lot like a “them problem”. Kind of like the people that can’t use grpc because their silly corporate firewall MITM’s the encryption. The rest of us aren’t beholden to archaic IT decisions.

> TCP throughput in a data center or behind a corporate firewall is typically fast enough for most needs

Yeah but if I can go even faster, why wouldn’t I? Quic gives per-sub-stream back pressure, out of the box that’s so useful! No HoL blocking, substreams, out-of-order reassembly, there’s so many neat features, why wouldn’t you want to use it, given the chance?

> Having everything in user space…

Means we basically get “user space networking for the rest of us” and that we can run Quic implementations that fit our own applications requirements.

On Twitch, the content creators can decide when to play an ad. They usually apologize for "having to do so", but they preferably do it at boring times in a match.
Laptops also? I didn't realise it had gotten this bad anywhere but in Macbooks.
Real people lose real money when it goes to zero.
My understanding of their claim is that Media Matters created a account, with which then exclusively followed, and liked all sorts of unwanted content to achieve their goal of seeing ads alongside that unwanted content. So they (X) see this as a purely lab experiment misrepresented as a typical behavior of the system.
A company offering to pay interest on top of stablecoin holdings does not mean the underlying asset features an expectation of profit.
I love the term “nazi content creator”.
Yeah, you’re right. I think this is a case of simplification in communication over perfect technical accuracy. What he meant was more that song “similarity” (as in artist, album, etc) is not taken into account by the algorithm. But yes you’re absolutely right.
It's almost impossible to define those microgenres per song because the metadata for music is shit :)

Spotify does try to do it, but it's not an exact science: https://everynoise.com

There are other ways to plot music genres, of course, than the one used by the map at any given time. We use 10 dimensions internally, and two completely independent measures of genre similarity. Iʼve flipped the map once already since first publishing it, and I might do so again without warning if I find another configuration that seems more interesting.

Also using an iPad Pro that I got in 2018 (I think, the first 12.9 inch with the current look), it used to be better at it than it is now. In the beginning it would rarely drain now it drains ~20% overnight. Granted mine is older and has been heavily used. So the battery has had quite a few charging cycles by now.

It's still fine to work on though. So have no need to replace it, but it is a little annoying to find it at much less of a charge than what I would expect.

Musk dismantled all of this when he took over.
That doesn't matter -- the issue here isn't that "innocent" people might see Apple advertisements, or nazi posts. The issue here is that Apple doesn't want their ads _next to_ nazi posts, no matter what the user is interested in. That's why they pulled the ads, not because they were worried that their targeting might offend one of the nazis.

Third, my prior is strongly against Sam after working for him for two years at OpenAI:

1. He was always nice to me.
2. He lied to me on various occasions
3. He was deceptive, manipulative, and worse to others, including my close friends (again, only nice to me, for reaso
I prefer randomizing lists but not songs. Spotify's user experience could be better in this regard tbh.
Ask HN: Your favorite Small Programming Language?
I got the idea for this question spontaneously, abd decided on a whim to submit it as an Ask HN. But then realized it might be both interesting and useful to some people, at least. By small, I mean either or both of 1) small in features, so can be learned quickly and remembered easily, or 2) small in disk and memory space, so it can load fast, be copied across a network fast, be carried around on a USB stick, etc. So a sort of utility programming language that you can reach for often, to do various programming tasks, though not necessarily all. Something like your favourite pocket real world tool, such as a Swiss army knife, a Leatherman, etc. Fire^WWhittle away! ;) Thanks in advance.
Not listed was a clever encoding for MS-DOS files, XXBUG[1]. DOS had a rudimentary debugger and memory editor. (It even stuck around all the way to Windows XP but didn't survive the transition to 64-bit.) Because it had the ability to write to disk you could convert any file to hexadecimal bytes and sprinkle some control commands about to create a script for DEBUG.EXE. The text-encoded file could then be sent anywhere without needing to download a decoder program first.

it's okay to give an example of something bad without being required to list all the other things in the universe that are also bad.
Can you talk about why you feel this way without using the word "safety"? Getting a little tired of the buzzword when there's so much value to ChatGPT and also its basically no different from when you, like, search stuff and the aearch engine does that summarize thing in my view
> New rich people come along and some rich people get poor

This is an overly simplistic look, and disregards a lot of history where, unsurprisingly, the reason there was wealth redistribution wasn't "innovation" but government policy
An few things:

Someone with an expensive house has the option to cash that in and buy a cheaper house somewhere else. There money is welcome in every country and city in the world! (Residency permitting).

The high value allows borrowing against the property to invest. Assuming you can get the loan. But it is a prerequisite to have equity!

Obviously with a mortgage a loss in value loses % equity and at some point that becomes negative equity.

That said homeowners with kids might welcome policies that slow the rate of growth in housing prices.
1. Sure, folks don't trust the government. I'm gonna guess that same sort wants to see ID in some situations. In this case, the government already has the power. State ID's already exist, and the federal government can get access. You already have a ss# - if someone wanted to mess with you, they'd just code you as dead. "accidentally".

2. Sure, your face isn't a piece of paper. It is still a major identifier, hence the reason you have it on your ID. The DMV already has your picture on file (hence, you don't always have to have a new picture). I'm not sure there are many situations where you could refuse to show ID to the government.

3. That's not a given, depending on the situation.

His sister has been reported to say that Sam Altman banned her from every platform except those two. It's been reported she might struggle with mental issues, though who knows what happened. So I'm pretty sure whoever said that was just trolling.
If they weren’t interested in the content itself but were instead interested in studying or manipulating the system providing the content I can see why the behavior in question would be deemed inauthentic. However, I can’t really back it up beyond that as I’m not them, sorry.
I’ve been seeing those videos for YEARS on my feed, and nothing has changed.

Not so related, but I actually like Spotify’s algorithm for suggesting new music a lot. Currently my daily routine for discovering new music is 1) pick an album that has something to do with what I want, 2) start the last song in the album, 3) skip it. It works pretty well!
Does it make any sense though? For a Nazi user seeing ads alongside Nazi content I guess feels natural, and non-Nazi user would not see the combination.
The immediate alternatives which are available today are 2FA via email or via an authenticator app such as Authy or Google Authenticator. So it's entirely a matter of whatever idiot companies decided to implement 2FA exclusively via SMS, adding support for one or both of those.

I'm another person who hates having to do 2FA via phone all the time, I am overseas a lot and it can pose serious problems for account access. I found out today that Authy even has a Linux client - hopefully this is the beginning of my life getting a lot easier.

That isn't what was said at all. The statement was that these ads don't appear next to "the content in Media Matters’ article", which might just mean that the content in the article was not that popular, or that other advertisers were displayed next to that content.
It’s very obvious that Elon and co would rather us concentrate on a blog post by someone else than his own words, words which are the real cause of this controversy. To that end, and since I think the actual cause is too often elided in these discussions:

[in response to a challenge to those saying ‘Hitler was right’ to justify saying so, a twitter account replies] “ Okay. Jewish [communities] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them. I’m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don’t exactly like them too much. You want truth said to your face, there it is.”

Musk replied: “You have said the actual truth.”

I think it’s clear why Yaccarino and Musk want everyone focused on how many impressions a small subset of the antisemitic content on X got, and not the breathtaking antisemitism (and racism, although clearly “hordes of minorities” doesn’t raise as many eyebrows because nobody seems to care about that one) that musk himself endorses (and has not apologized for or retracted since).
> Why didn't the free market step up?

It did. People learned that there were a lot of scams and now the market for suckers is drying up. This is a typical pattern: Problem occurs, market responds to problem and results in improvement, government simultaneously responds to problem and has no effect or makes it worse, people point to improvement and credit new government regulations or lack of improvement and demand even more government regulations. Then we get stuck with a bunch of burdensome new rules because Something Had To Be Done.

Notice also that all of the stuff you're listing is fraudulent and already illegal. If regulations work then why didn't they work?
Wow kinda respect them testing staffs willingness to quit.

The juicy tender is fueling a lot of the motivation here, more than any loyalty or preference to Altman

But you would need to convince the rest of the board with _something_, right? Like to not only fire this guy, but to do it very publicly, quickly, with the declaration of lying in the announcement.

You pay for ad impressions. Twitter calls it "Reach":

I don't understand how you only need 4 people for quorum on a 6-person board.
One of the problems is the user.

Another problem is that Apple is effectively paying people to say extremist things via Twitter ad revenue shares.

And, apparently in order to enhance this funding, nazi followers just need to follow a few big brands alongside their extremist content.

A third problem is that makes Apple look bad and damages their brand.
> Twitter is more than capable of knowing which posts are antisemitic/nazi and it should be trivial to simply not show sponsored content around these posts

Apparently Twitter's system works by having tags associated with each user.

Some of those tags are added by automated systems, others are manual. Based on the tag it will affect your reach, what content you see, what ads get shown along side etc.

From all accounts Musk has reset this system back to zero, messed with the algorithm so tags are less effective and dismantled the safety team. So nothing is really working. And because it's been reset all banned users are allowed back in.
I'm on the 12 Mini without any care with charging, it's at 89% capacity. I do have "Optimised Battery Charging On" apparently, not sure when that was added? Might've always been on not sure. From the description:

"To reduce battery ageing, iPhone learns from your daily charging routine so it can wait to finish charging past 80% until you need to use it."

So I imagine it stops charging or fast charging after 80%. And slow charges that last 20% for when it expects you to need the phone. Not sure how much this differs from only ever charging up to 80%.

I also use Carplay wired, so it's always charging in the car as well.

Just checked my iPhone 11 (work phone) it's at 86%, that's the normal sized model.
