@author, Thanks for this, will read, but your webpage is 50% white space; there's almost nothing on the left with all content pushed into the right half. I'm used to this kind of breakage with jscript disabled but (kudos!) you don't use any. FYI.
I like to use a small utility function like this and pass user input through it.

function asTextContent(input) {
const tempElement = document.createElement('span');
tempElement.textContent = input;
return tempElement.innerHTML;
}

It will let the browser handle the escaping.

I don't see an annual subscription. I see one year of "unlimited replacement of HEPA Bags, Mop Rolls, and Brush Rolls". That sounds great actually.
There's no way to get your money back if you didn't like the content. If they don't want their articles to be read for free then they should keep them out of my view. And certainly not use clickbaity headlines. Information can be copied and they should accept it, or change their business/distribution model.
I love the release notes:

The problem with "more than happy" is that their happiness is measured in terms of chosing the local maximum of least bad. Moreover, that local maxima slowly changs over time to be worse and worse, so that people's happiness becomes a temporary sense of relief at having chosen the least bad option, which in the course of decades makes for a curtailing of freedoms that is far from true contentment.
For running mail you don’t need upload bandwidth, and in my country certainly outside of mobile, CG nat isn’t a thing. Static IPs tend to cost a pound or two more a month from many ISPs but not all.

20 years ago, and of course before then in the dialup age, your ISP operated your mail, so there was plenty of competition. Free at the point of use mail which meant you weren’t locked to a single ISP so there were benefits, but the big benefit was the unlimited space that the funding of companies like google allowed for, they could muscle in and knock out competition.

Eventually isps stopped providing as demand was tiny and the cost outweighed it. Same with things like nntp servers.

I pay a couple of quid a month to Zoho to provide my mail, off my own domain. Obviously I have static ip4 and 6 addresses from my ISP, but I’m happy to outsource as long as the cost is transparent and I’m not locked in, so I do. Part of that is to fund companies which are better armed to fight against monopolistic email practices than I am on my own.

There are other suppliers I can shift to by moving my MX records and updating a couple of TXTs, but there’s no need to at the moment.
A red pill?
In two's complement, -2 means all bit are 1, except for the lowest.
1 is all bits are zero, except for the lowest. So it's basically the same, just negated.
If you look at the generated code, this is used to the opposite: Keep all bits, except the least significant.

Btw, it's a lot simpler if you use only unsigned ints. Both GCC and clang add a couple more instructions to make it work with negative numbers. With unsigned ints, both gcc and clang generate this simple assembly code:

is_even:

Shrug. That's their problem. Or it should be, at least.

Don't sell crap you can't support for a decent amount of time. Stop ruining this planet we live on by creating immense amounts of e-waste every few years.

We both know your argument is dishonest or at least naive, though. They could easily support updates if they want to. But it's about money. This way they are forcing people to buy a new phone every few years. It's clever, shame about the planet.
You're kind of proving my comment pretending they are akin to a human brain instead of an evolved form of statistics mixed with code, aka transformer model.

I find it rather ironic that a lot of people, probably quite a vast majority, see themselves immune to propaganda (be it state or commercial).

I often play with the tought that I may well be just as brainwashed as e.g. Russians or Chinese are portrayed to be. I don't think there's really a way of knowing for certain. For most this is probably unthinkable. Or maybe I've been brainwashed by constructivist cultural marxism or whathaveyou?
I used to set my mail client up to bounce emails detected as spam with a fake bounce and a delete.

My mail provider (university) at the time complained to me because those bounces themselves bounced.

This approach is probably inadequate. In my line of (NLP) research I find many things have been said exactly many, many times over.

You can try this out yourself by grouping and counting strings using the many publically available Bigquery corpora for various substring lengths and offsets, e.g. [0-16]; [0-32]; [0-64] substring lengths at different offsets.
Implementing the comparisons by hand seems difficult and primitive. May I suggest introducing some helpful sub-packages and building the solution on top of those. For instance, is-odd would be implemented by using is-one, is-three, is-five, is-seven, etc.
There is a perfect level of cynicism here. The people want a simple model of reality. It shows up immediately at all levels of society. Simple messages work in the family, win elections, and persist for centuries whether they work or not when implemented. The tech industry is interesting as an example closer to HN for how management regularly assumes situations are simple despite endless counterexamples.

There are threads in the media that are probably government sponsored (topically, John Brennan going CIA->MSNBC or the Twitter files). The oversimplification is likely because people don't engage with complexity without shutting down. The refusal of the corporate media to learn that War is Bad is probably government sponsored. Even then, the military industrial complex and regulatory capture muddies the water somewhat about who is motivating the madness.
Yeah I know some devices already support this, the point of forcing it via legislation would be for those that don't.

I think this is also the answer to "the app store question". It feels unfair to force Apple to change a core value proposition by forcing them to allow side loading, but in the spirit of "It's my device" it should be possible to install an OS that makes a different tradeoff e.g. Android

It’s still a difficult tension. The government will always control the purse strings so independence is always going to come with conditions.
Why that machine in particular?
I honestly stopped watching at the mention of MKULTRA. Too many of these talks resort to the tired tedtalk techniques of building credibility with some shoddy journalism linking something common today (facial recognition) to some past horror (mkultra+experiments on dogs) just obscure enough that people recognize it as evil but dont know any details, making them open and eager to absorb whatever bunk you shovel at them. Such links are normally made through references to obscure historical figures, conveniently dead enough that they cannot refute any allegations. Want to have a serious talk about psyops? Start by not employing such childish techniques in your own videos.

Here is a real psyops story. Not ancient history. Something recent involving alive people subject to modern scrutiny.

There really should be a way to ban people doing this shit.
Your experience may not be typical. I ran mail servers before office 365 was a thing, and I often had to get off block lists. There are stories on HN about it being worse, now that you have to request unblocking from MS and Google. Yours is the first comment that doesn't complain.
In my experience, without wifi, roombas are loosing their schedules after some time. I don't remember exactly, after couple of weeks maybe. They just stop working according to schedule or star they work on unusual hours.
"Deliberately excluded" is a pretty strong statement for a law that speaks of:

That definitely includes people like me who thought signing up for GitHub Sponsors was a good idea. What's the worst that could happen, right? For all I know it could include projects that accept donations too. Is writing a book about the project or offering screencasts or whatever the same as offering "technical support services"? Is building a community on GitHub or Discord or whatever "providing a software platform through which the manufacturer monetises other services"? Who knows? I'm not a lawyer.
Gemini vs. GPT-4V: A Preliminary Comparison Through Qualitative Cases
The Erik Prince episode was fantastic.
It's not quite the hill to die on. There are (at least) two definitions of "theft" and "stealing" in common use:

1) I take something away from you. You have less of it as a result. Copying is not theft.

2) I deprive you of something, such as exclusive use of your land (e.g. by trespassing) or failing to follow through on a contract. Copying is theft.

Both of those are used by different communities, who both become angry at the other.

This is a semantic argument. Most members of both groups believe that there are times when copying is wrong, and are split on when that is.

However, to group #1, "stealing" and "theft" is a highly offensive term. It's much like saying "You raped me up the ___ when you didn't pay my contractor bill on time" or other hyperboles. Not paying my bill was wrong, but it also wasn't rape. It devalues rape, insults you, and is imprecise. You should use the precise "copyright violation" which describes exactly what happened.

To group #2, NOT calling it theft is offensive, since it devalues the costs to businesses and creators of copyright violations. Whether you agree with them or not, they have certain rights under the law, and picking-and-choosing which laws to follow is wrong (especially when it's self-serving).

Because the two groups mean different things by the same words, they can never hold a rational conversation with each other, and become offended when they hear the other group speak. It's how we polarize. It's unfortunate, since there's an important discussion to be had about the limits and enforcement of copyright and patents, which really should start with the copyright clause in the constitution, and when it helps versus impedes progress and economic growth. That's a discussion possible to have analytically and rationally.

Regardless of its effectiveness (I largely agree with with your posted study), the negative externalities of attempting to "nudge" and control the narrative are enormous. You now have government departments with an existential motive to subtly alter news stories, guidelines, public messaging - even if the results are dubious, and could have unbounded negative impact on public trust and understanding, etc..

Clearly the solution is to factor each number and to (recursively) test the parity of the sum of the factors. Since all prime numbers other than 2 are known to be odd, the parity test for the case of a single factor is easy. You only need to special-case 4 to avoid an infinite recursion.
Now I am thinking Kaspersky should not have published this information. What a wrong decision. Instead they should have sold it to Russian government which I am sure could find lot of interesting uses for these "debugging features" and offer a good reward.

In the UK, the Prius seems to be used very widely by taxi companies. In fact most of the Prius's I see are in taxi company livery. To get the best out of a Prius (or, I guess, any hybrid) you should drive it non-aggressively, avoiding steep accelleration and braking. That may have something to do with the longevity of the Prius.

I've owned two Toyotas, neither ever broke down, and one of them saved my life (in a crash). If I were in the market for a car, I'd get a Toyota.

> Just learn to recognize and punish plagiarism via RLHF.

I'm not sure how your proposal would actually work. To recognize plagiarism during inference it needs to memorize harder.

Kinda funny if it works though. We'd first train them to copy their training data verbatim, then train them not to.

That is how it works, right? They're trained to copy their training data verbatim because that's the loss function. It's just that they're given so much data that we don't expect this to be possible for most of the training data given the parameter count.

The TLDR is that a lot of people have very high myopia that causes severe eyeball elongation, which then causes retinal damage/detachment, which sadly could progress into blindness..

I myself was -5.75 and -6.25 with some non-negligible cylinders. I experienced discomfort when looking at my phone phone and reading book with my glasses on. I General check up said that my eyeball pressure and all were normal, but I know the discomfort is nothing good and can be quite serious. I read up online and found out that myopia could cause eyeball elongation, which could cause discomfort and ultimately could cause retinal damage/detachment. The discomfort I was experiencing was probably due to my elongated eyeball.

I prayed and began looking for way to work around my myopic eyes without having to get yet another thicker glasses... And I'm super thankful to have found out about this life-changing video by Todd Becker on how to reverse myopia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Efg42-Qn0. The TLDR is that eyeball elongation (and hence myopic eyes) can be reversed in a way very similar to how strength training is conducted (hormesis). You simply need to keep wearing reduced prescription and do eye-focus exercises regularly.

It sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? I was scared too at first, and when I went to a glasses store to get a lower prescription glasses, the store attendant warned me too. But I went ahead anyway. My latest eyes exam before the attempt (back in August 2021) was -6.75 and -6.5 with -0.25 and -0.5 cyls. After 2 years of wearing lower prescription whenever possible and doing eye-focus exercise quite inconsistently (by reading on Kindle with lower prescription at a distance that causes hormesis, as explained by Todd Becker), I am happy to announce that I'm now wearing -4.5 on both eyes (without cyls) when I need almost-perfect vision, and wearing -3.5 for training purposes. I have seen people online who seem to be much more consistent reported even faster progress.

If you are interested to learn more, here are some resources I found super useful and forever grateful for:

A boogie man is something that isn’t real.

Russian disinformation warfare is very much real, no matter if it is a Lithuanian workman or the head of the CIA talking about it.

The head of the CIA might have ulterior motives but it is silly to dismiss the facts though.
Another example; "telenovelas tell one self-contained story, typically within the span of a year or less", and there have been many hits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telenovela .
I watched the whole thing, and i think you made the right decision. There aren't any facts or solid connections here you couldn't learn from browsing wikipedia for twenty minutes.

I particularly enjoyed the bit with the leaked GCHQ slide deck where he points out that there are a lot of pictures of UFOs in it, and says he doesn't know why, but perhaps it's because GCHQ are using them for disinformation. Rather than as, you know metaphors. Or maybe metaphors are considered advanced British BRAIN SCIENCE?
> once we figure out design patterns that go beyond the suboptimal "ask your docs a question" implementations that exist today

I'd love to hear more thoughts about this. We've added a LLM to let users ask questions of our docs and have found it very useful.

Somewhat surprisingly to me, it's also been useful to employees because it doesn't just answer the question, it also references the source, which includes GitHub issues, videos, docs and forum posts. This lets the employee or user dive in deeper to see if the underlying doc has more context or nuance. It also serves as a single entry point to all those sources, which is easier than visiting each.

Historically newspapers leaned more on competition law than copyright, because their pages are supposed to be filled with non-copyrightable facts.[1] Copying part, but not all, of a factual article, significantly after the relevant event, was considered to be a promotion (not unfair competition) and a nice thing to do for the journalists. Things change, people lose sight of the original principles.

Excellent!! Have a nice day!
I interpret their comment as suggesting that Apple should adopt a similar approach, and that Google, as a platform owner, should mandate this requirement for licensing Android™ (not AOSP) to other OEMs (I've had several phones whose bootloader couldn't be unlocked), and for this to be a practice enshrined by law for any other such companies that could operate in a similar position.
Largely because "news" aka facts is not and should not be copyrightable, so while the style, and exact format of the article may be copyrightable, the facts contained within are not.

This makes a news story copyright murky in the eyes of wider society unlike a clearly 100% creative work like a TV Show or Movie.

Further the news themselves self cannibalize, how many stories are just rewrites of stories from other outlets? why it is OK for the Washington Post to copy the NY times, but not ok for OpenAI or Archive.org?
I found it interesting how the article sets up some ideological traps: it mentions a lack of efficiency, trade value, and so on. But then it explains that the lack of efficiency is required for the increased resilience and that trade value is ultimately meaningless because having a big pile of cash won't save you when nobody else has anything to sell to you. It even takes a moment to pause and double down on telling you that Malthus is just plain wrong.

It actually provides a nice example for a gift economy even in a system that already has money and markets: the solution to crop failures is not to barter by exchanging your non-food belongings for food but to build strong relationships by giving to others when you have plenty so they will share with you when you have little. Communal spaces are only mentioned in passing but it's also easy to see how if an orchard can double as pasture and plots are decentralized, one farm's orchard might be used by another farm for pasture as part of such a relationship.

If you're not already familiar, I would strongly recommend David Graeber's Debt as a very approachable introduction to the idea of gift economies and the myth of barter economies being the precursor to modern money-based trade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt:_The_First_5000_Years
The Python standard library is primarily managed by volunteers, and different sections have distinct maintainers, resulting in diverse choices.

When there's no strong advocate for a module, implementing changes becomes a challenging task. However, modules with dedicated champions, such as datetime by Paul Ganssle or pathlib by Barney Gale, may undergo significant modifications after consideration and discussion.

Not everyone in the broader Python community will be pleased with these alterations, but they aren't made hastily. I suggest we show empathy towards those who willingly take on the responsibilities of being open-source maintainers, it's a fiery task.

While I've personally expressed dissatisfaction with the utcnow change on the Python discussion page, I also acknowledge that I'm not responsible for maintaining this module. Consequently, I've updated my code in a completely backwards compatible way: datetime.datetime.utcnow() -> datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC).replace(tzinfo=None).
I have found this framework helpful in thinking about the four kinds of docs:
