Oh please, you're perfectly comfortable with coercion being employed on a daily basis. You just want it aimed at other people. If your first instinct is to call the police, you have no business calling out a labor force for being "coercive". Further, not one threat has been issued vs. Tesla. The labor force have just collectively stated "Don't like our terms? Do it yourself."

That is not a threat. That's a refusal to associate. Unless you want to try to sell me that refusal to take someone's money is an act of violence now. If you are, then the gulf between our points of view is so wide as to preclude civil reconciliation.
The first time they went from “no support” to “support”.

They have absolutely done the reverse move haha

I think you need to read to the end of the post. And then read the one it links to because that one says that I will rewrite all of my new project in a memory-safe language. (bc, unfortunately, needs to stay in C because it needs to have zero dependencies.)

I'm not making the argument that C is good, or that I am good at C. I'm comparing myself against the average.
There are probably reasonable ways for the government to do this. Some kind of government run validation website where a user can generate a code to validate their age to each individual website is probably ok (in the UK we have a similar system for providing driving licence information to rental companies for example).

Mandating that people do face scans or, even worse, send their IDs to potentially scummy websites is batshit crazy though.

If what a government really want to do is ban access to pornographic content then they should be able to make that case to the electorate.
Yeah, I'll add that one to my list of arguments. If Facebook were doing it they would be actively telling marketers in order to get more ad money.
People believing the FB was eavesdropping on their conversations might be wrong, but that's mostly a technicality. It's like saying that I passed out because you hit me with a baseball bat, to which you'd reply: naaa...ah! it was a hockey stick!

FB has been/is spying on people and making us collectively more stupid, but using different, more esoteric/harder to explain methods (e.g. cross-device behavioural targeting).

> Those companies need to earn our trust. How can we help them do that?

This is a wicked problem and such a broad question (+ a bit of a weird take imho), that I don't see anything actionable. So, here's a half-baked list off the top of my head (so, poorly expressed, incomplete, incoherent):

- slow down the ill-conceived progress at all cost and understand that moving fast in the wrong direction ≠ progress

- force stricter transparency rules through legislative action

- understand and accept that no-trust should be the default

- invest more in open and offline models

- educate people

- accept that some of those companies in their current shape don't deserve our trust

Edit: This is a better take: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=38643792&goto=item%3Fi...

Well we know the official history books are lying to us. Manhattan project? No way that could have been kept secret for as long as it was. All those people "in the loop" and not a single one choosing to blow the whistle? Preposterous.

The idea that conspiracy is impossible ignores the conspiracies that happened and were covered up for significant amounts of time, long before we have the aid of modern technology. Why does the argument receive much attention despite that?
Where does this bizarre idea come from? There aren't queues of high-quality companies just lining up for piddling investments from nobodies.

If you can't provide them with enough money to be worth their time in lawyer's fees, vetting you as an investor, and accounting... no quality company is interested in you as their 36th investor. If you can provide them with enough money to make that worthwhile, you have enough to be an accredited investor.

Scammers are very happy to take a piddling sum from a nobody, as that ensures you don't have the resources to go after them. And they don't need to vet you as an investor - the fact that you aren't invested in a high-quality company is all they need to know you're a mark.

Accredited investor laws aren't about protecting you from risky investments. They're about protecting you from scams you lack the self-awareness to identify. And given that you can't see that, I'm betting that's a lot of scams.

> I don't know when our judicial system lost all of its teeth

Easy. It's when we started treating the virtual reality of the internet as though it is actual reality.

Digital contracts shouldn't be binding, any more than mowing down pedestrians in Grand Theft Auto constitutes murder. These video-game contracts are mutable and ephemeral; how the hell do you prove what version of the contract/TOS you agreed to, when companies can change it arbitrarily-- and without any revision history? Tech makes it easy to gaslight the fuck out of anybody.

There'd be an actual cost to them were they do play this game with paper contracts.

I thought, surely they mean a supernova obliterated a companion star, but you’re right. They’re talking about the exploding star.

Both statements can be true.

And I think alcohol consumption is also declining, isn't it? At least among people at the age where having children while drunk is most likely.
I have a lot of complaints about OpnSense. But how exactly is that a similar security response?

That wasn’t a security incident for OpnSense. It was a CVE for an optional package most users probably don’t have installed. Sounds like not-an-emergency to me. That user is completely unreasonable.
Opnsense should refund their money (if any lol) and tell them to pop off.
Not OP but you don't need 100s of staff monitoring the forum. You need a webhook that filters on "security" in the title and post it in the relevant slack channel. I do expect UI have a 24/7 paid support/security team and I'm sure someone could say "uh, this looks real what's going on?"
Mikrotik's UI was terrible to begin with, just a big 90s smorgasboard in the style of My First Visual Basic App.

I'm not after hunting all cops, or any of that horse shit.

I'm referring to accountability beyond the current 6 week paid vacation, qualified immunity slapped on pretty much everything, being able to simply quit a job after committing literal crimes and get a job in an adjacent city doing the same thing, and stupid -isms, like "Yeah, that guy died not because we choked him until he couldn't breathe, but because of "excited delirium".

If you feel that the company you are getting porn from isn't respecting your privacy and your privacy is important, don't get porn from them.

Text in question:

-> 11. Police questions:
(a) Have you had an interaction or experience with a police officer or other law
enforcement person, or formed an opinion about police or our criminal justice system that would prevent you from being a fair juror?
(b) Under our law, a police officer is not more, or less, believable just because he or she is a police officer. A juror must evaluate a police officer's testimony for truthfulness and accuracy in the same way the juror would evaluate the testimony of any other witness. is there any reason you cannot do so?

If a candidate expresses an opinion that would be deferential to either side, they are likely to get struck. This is a feature, not a bug.
They’ve already announced “M365 Copilot”, which is in the same ballpark as the Dropbox features (ask questions about your documents, etc.), and of course uses OpenAI like Dropbox does. So the only real difference here would be trust.
I worked at a go kart racing track when I was a teen and the company installed something called "governors" that would limit the speed at which the go karts could go. The governors had a remote control which allowed an operator to selectively limit the speed of each individual go kart. As a 14 year old, if someone did a slight playful bump into another racer, I would govern them. It's the first instance of "power" I had over others. And.., I abused it for the "good".

This being said, I have a belief that if you give someone a button to ruin someones life, some people will push the button with thoughtless abandon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not seeing a democratic pushback mechanism in this bill, and I think this is a disaster. This is also being said in the context that the most voted petition in Canadian history is e-4701, which is a vote of no confidence.
> Figuring out how to align future superhuman AI systems to be safe has never been more important

They love using the word “safe” and I’m pretty sure it’s 99% PR, because reading their other “papers” on Safety & Alignment seems to not really identify or define safety bounds at all. You’d think this has something to do with ethics but we all know there are no longer any ethically concerned leaders at their workplace. So I can only surmise that “safety” is a softer word being used to misdirect people on their non-ethically aligned intentions.

You can make the argument that safety is too early in development of these LLM systems to understand but then why throw around the word in the first place?
Show HN: The classic Minesweeper on an irregular grid
I'm experimenting game mechanics that are usually seen on a typical grid, but transposed on an irregular one.

This is a test with minesweeper.

The changes over what an irregular grid brings is that cells don't all have 8 neighbors. Some can have less, some can have more. Therefore before uncovering a tile, you have to pay closer attention at the number clues and which tiles neighbors it.

So my intention is to make a very classic game a bit more challenging & fun.

I'm also prototyping with checkers/draughts, and plan to test similar variants for chess, othello and go.
Very unfortunately, I have mainly seen Jenkins used for this. There must be something better out there.

Which also applies to everyone else. The programmer job security just makes that easier in most cases.

Which is not really my point as to why they should be held responsible. The reason is the real world consequences of their actions and the scale and ease of introducing negative consequences by tech creators.
Why is there a button at all? Record everything all the time. Sort it out later. The vast majority of it will be useless footage, but so what?

If I was a cop I would certainly want every donut I eat to be recorded if it also means there is no change I get falsely accused of improper interaction with the public. 99.9% of the time no one will look at my donut footage.
"Full Access" could mean a lot of things. I don't see anything suggesting they could make changes (though I haven't read the entire thread). The user could just assume they have full access because they can see everything.

Thanks for this! I have a couple questions:

> methods and approaches (for approaching interventions in general) that are more uniquely suited to behavior and psychological phenomena were kind of neglected

Can you give some examples and expand on this? I realize it's speculative but I'd like to hear your speculations :)

> we don't really have a good way to predict what will work for whom. So, for example, the efficacy for drug A might be sort of small to modest overall, but high for one subset of people, and low for another subset of people; the efficacy for psychotherapy B follows similar patterns

In the case of psychotherapy my feeling is that there's an additional complication, which is that efficacy depends not only on what (is it psychotherapy B1, B2, etc.) but also on who - because efficacy has also to do with the quality of relationship between therapist and client, this varies a lot, and it is not a function of modality*. Do you agree? and if yes, what methods do you think would be best suited to studying this?

(* I dislike that word "modality" but it's what people use to describe the different therapeutic methods, so it's at least clear in this context.)

SELinux isn't Capability Based Security

The closest you've likely ever been to capabilities is cash in a wallet. Each banknote is a capability, and you chose from those capabilities, in a secure and transparent manner at the time of transaction.

SELinux, by analogy, requires your BANKER to decide what bills you're allowed to use in advance.

SELinux sucks, and was likely a diversion to keep people away from capability based security. (As are the permission flags on your smartphone, etc)

The sad part is that Schmidhuber is not a grifter by any means. If the turning prize for deep learning could go to 5 people instead of 3, he would very likely be on that list.

His lab is excellent and was easily Europe's best deep learning lab for decades before it blew up.

Some of his complaints are valid too. European labs often get ignored, and he has been sidelined despite being one of the most important people in deep learning himself.

But man doesn't know when an argument runs out of gas. His claims get grander with every passing year.

He would've just been the 'get off my lawn' grandpa of deep learning, but he somehow comes across as even more insufferable than that.

I wonder if 2023 schmidhuber was created because the polite one from a decade ago was ignored. A sort of evil phase, if you will.

I feel bad for him. He did get passed over of some deserved awards and recognition. But he reeks of resentment and thats never a good look.
> maybe we should just spread out our living area more

If we have any hopes of restricting climate change, reducing CO2 emissions, preventing mass extinction via habitat loss, we can't be doing this and going down this path.

It would only make any sense to create new green field cities if they were compact walkable cities built on a foundation of frequent and high speed rail access. Everything else is a regression of massive amounts of highway construction, habitat loss, CO2 emissions and strangulation by increased capture by the requirements of structurally inefficient automobile oriented infrastructure.

The Manhattan project did leak info to the Soviets. It is true it stayed out of public view for several years, but a difference in the Manhattan project is that every single person involved was investigated by the FBI beforehand, and the country was so heavily united in the fight against the Axis powers that it is quite likely almost everyone involved was a true believer.
And note that to see the Remote Access checkbox, you need to be logged into the console as a ui.com user, not a local user.

If you have disabled Remote Access and instead want to use the phone app via a VPN, you may have to add it manually. There's a (+) button for that, and then a "Need help?" option, which contains a way to manually add by IP/user/password.

This whole comment section is full of absolutely unacceptable ad-hominem attacks on Schmidhuber, from people who most likely haven't even read any of the works in question and are certainly not showing any of the "intellectual curiosity" this site is supposed to be about.

Anyone who cares about academic integrity should at least not attack someone complaining of plagiarism. That sort of attack is the academic equivalent of blaming the victim. If even half of Schmidhuber's accusations have a basis that's still a major academic scandal of epic proportions.

But it is possible that he ought to have been cited as well? It doesn't matter if he's a hypocrite. The justification ultimately has to be, "Our paper did not use your work in any substantial way therefore a citation is not needed."

I can see how citations can get very complex for the purposes of scientific credit, traditionally there's a self-policed aspect to it in every academic community; however, in this century as advanced research gets more complex and globalized, it might be time for a more rigorous and neutral process of doing so.
I'm not claiming the photo is real, but it's important to remember humans make mistakes.
one notable exception to this is the grappler archetype, where their 'close proximity command grab' is a massive tool which you always need to respect

the mere presence of the grappler causes a pressure on your decision-making process, since you always have to respect this option from them

but even here, the grappler has more tools than just 'grab you', they have an entire neutral kit still, as well as specials oriented around space control and 'trapping you' in the range where their grab is effective
