Has anyone noticed YouTube now likes to surface shock content in the "For You" suggestions even if you've never searched for it? I search for recipe videos all the time and in the past week alone the 7th or so search result (Always the 3rd result in the For You box) has been a shock video.

So YouTube this week alone has tried to show me Blackhead videos twice, one video of a deformed baby just after it was born, one video of a child dying free fall in an elevator.

All when I'm getting ready to eat dinner so thanks for that Neal Mohan...

Wish I was joking, never watched videos like these on YouTube in my life but yeah I search for a recipe and there it is, a gore or grossout video....
You can easily become a target for surveillance without doing anything illegal - and that's still (potentially) not a good fate! Paranoid technies might not like the idea of langley, and fort meade listening into to all of their communications.

I don't think that they just "filter it out", I think that spying on techies/industrial spying and technical espionage has never been bigger. I also think anyone working in AI right now is for sure at serious risk of being designated for advanced targeted surveillance.
Cold boot time on a Quest is roughly half a minute, though most of the time, you'll just wake it up from standby. For testing, I just put my Quest 3 on my head, and without pressing the power button, I counted five mississippis (seconds) before I was fully in their heavily customized version of Android with hand tracking recognizing my digits.
Because it allows you to use your dominant hand to control it, and also your non-dominant hand is more often free than your dominant hand, so it's free to swing around when you walk and better count your steps.
We need to change the legal premise that entities have the right to give up data they've collected on people without the express informed consent of those people, no matter who those entities want to give that data to.

Apple Health does a great job of integrating with EMR providers. I can see notes from every doctors visits, my blood test results, Covid tests, and so on all integrated into one app. I can see my sodium levels have gone down since 2019 in a plot chart, or when was the last time I got sick.
I can't work out why youtube doesn't let you block a channel from search results with a single click.

I regularly search for nature videos. There are a handful of notorious channels that create absurd thumbnails and stitch together footage from completely different animal encounters to create an extravagant story that would be incredibly interesting if only it were real. Such channels are easy to spot but clutter results and keep showing up because they do trick a lot of people and are therefore seen as popular by youtube's algorithm.
Huh, I swear Delta offered me something that would give me like 50 bucks back if it was a rainy day but I see it nowhere on the internet so maybe it was a dream!
The way I see it, what binds Silicon Valley together into a single ideology is the belief that everything should be running software and that the rest of society should conform to software defined rules. AI doomers and e/acc both deeply believe in the power of AI and disagree on how to approach that power.

In SV the question isn't, "Should we introduce self driving cars on the road and how will that impact safety?" instead it is "How can we get the disengagement and accident metrics of self driving cars below that of the average human driver?". The assumption is always that more software and more data collection will result in better products.

I don't really consider the DEI v anti-woke debate worth having. The anti-woke crusaders are all twitter addicts hooked on rage-bait and either these people are very rare in actual companies, or they keep their heads down at work. The DEI "movement" as experienced on the ground is simply the yearly corporate training that tells you not to say slurs at work and some fluffy PR speak on company hiring pages.
I'm not mad - I'm discussing topics on the internet. How can I be mad when posting text in response to other text? We are having a philosophical discussion, and it seems to me like I'm speaking with an incomplete person, stuck in a difficult plane of existence, lacking purpose or happiness.
That's simply not true. The user is not the only stakeholder. The example I gave opens up the hospital to fines from the government and in the worst case scenario a massive legal judgement from the patient who's data was breached by a physician leaving his workstation with a patient record opened and it was compromised by a malicious actor.

edit: in any case this is very likely a security configuration by the hospital infosec team, not the developer of the EMR.
Interesting, but a difficulty I see with the suggested binomial moving average is that it is two-sided -- it uses data both before and after a given time to smooth that observation. In online smoothing you cannot use a two-sided average.
I agree, but I think that model of GPG is not how it's used any more. I think nowadays people upload a one-shot CI key, which is used to sign builds. So you're basically saying "The usual machine built this". Which is good information, don't get me wrong, but it's much less secure than "John was logged into his laptop and entered the password for the key that signed this"

So, you're right, that GPG verifies source, whereas TLS verifies distribution. I suppose those can be very different things.

Perhaps counter example: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-ci/+archive/ubuntu/stable-bac...

And presumably "manually" means "signed and uploaded"

I have a MQ3 I haven't used in a few weeks sitting on the charger. I picked it up, spent 10 seconds finding the power button, hit button, put it on, waited 25 at the meta logo then was in VR. Didn't test opening a game but for a big one it's probably the same 10-45 seconds to start I'd imagine.

It's not something I ever really thought about, you boot it once a session and it goes idle/wake, not hibernate if you just put it on your desk for a minute.

The MQ3 is WAY better than my Vive and better even than the MQ2 at being a "throw on and gun" quick device. It's way lighter, less work to get going with.

The MQ3 is an awesome device, I love it.
You’re being intentionally obtuse and not addressing the point OP made, which is that AI is likely to be interpreted by the courts as a form of expression which makes it protected by the first amendment.

It would be similarly a violation if, say, the sale of newspapers was regulated. I suspect you know this but you want to make a glib Twitter style comment rather than have a real discussion.
Using the telegram bot - you just text it. You could have the bot running on some server and sync the tasks from there to your computer, but it's really not needed. One of the nice things about Telegram bots is that the messages are queued until the bot becomes available, meaning I can text my bot on the go and the moment my laptop opens all the files are created.
I'm sure apple will manage to sell it by the millions, but both the price and the lock-in in the apple ecosystem are a no for me
Since there is no regulatory response that can deal with unknown unknowns like your second point, the correct answer is to not regulate for now.

I recall this blog post[1], discussed here[2] at the time, discussing how a SATA chip driver prevented the CPU from going to sleep state C6, instead keeping it at C3, leading to higher power consumption.

Switching the SATA card to one with a different chip fixed that.

There were other surprising factors which affected power draw.

My takeaway was that as in real life, sleeping can be hard.

Very nice, I had no idea that we finally had recursive macros using this feature.

In practice I find that usually empty __VA_ARGS__ can be tamed by making last non-optional parameter part of the vararg. Sometimes a helper function wrapper is needed though.

I think think the argument is cut and dry as one might think. What's a few broken bones if you're stunted socially, independently, and creatively through regulation and rules. Exploring the new world with friends of your own age without adults putting you in their mental box makes you your own person. I think it's underappreciated what that enables.

Show HN: Get an Eulogy in Minutes, Effortlessly
Hi HN,

I made an app to help those who lost a loved one, write their eulogy fast and easily.
Simply give a few details about the deceased and the AI will write a custom eulogy.

Yes it's another AI wrapper, but I didn't see this use out there yet.

In the future, I plan to use a model like Mistral and fine-tune it to this specific case. Any idea on how to do that ?

Thank you for your feedbacks,

Have a great day everyone !

Yeah! Seeing blackhead popping thumbnails for this stuff in my crafting/hacking/cooking feed of videos is absolutely terrifying, especially as someone with mild trypophobia. I cannot believe that these are surfaced for me given the amount of data they have or that they are surfaced for anyone without explicit searches given the content - even if considered medical/educational in nature I wouldn't expect surgery or animal dissection videos to be surfaced likewise.
Maybe if done well, but the article makes it seem that sticking googly eyes to the front would work better under most lighting conditions.
> The goal is for the Vision Pro to be a complete device that can sit right alongside the Mac and the iPad in Apple’s ecosystem of devices and let you get real work done. You can use Excel and Webex and Slack in the Vision Pro, and you can also sit back and watch movies and TV shows on a gigantic virtual 4K HDR display. And you can mirror your Mac’s display and just use the Vision Pro to look at a huge monitor floating in virtual space.

As someone who used a living room tv with a wireless keyboard as a monitor for a while, I felt it sucked. Can't see why this would actually be a plus.

I don't think you can. All virtualized MacOS machines, iirc, can't fully install the tools necessary to build software for MacOS. For example, I don't believe you will ever be able to sign and staple the app.

I would really love to have someone prove me wrong on this thread but I've never found a solution other than building on MacOS hardware, which is such a pain to maintain.

I have multiple old MacOS machines that I keep in a stable state just so I can be sure I'll be able to build our app. I'm terrified of failure or just clicking the wrong update button.
A hunch might be enough to get you into trouble.

Not taking a phone along has been used against people, for example (not a US case).

By the way, buying something in a shop that people can observe is zero protection against actors like Nazis.
No piece of technology has a systemic guarantee that it works.
You're missing the point entirely, it's not about whether the shower cap is or is not enough. It's about how the shower cap is far less intrusive and dangerous than brain surgery and yet nobody is wearing them. Ergo maybe the most minimally capable version of this technology isn't as revolutionary as you've described.

In my experience with FHIR, two documents from different sources can both be compliant while still semantically incompatible. The protocols are made flexible enough where human ingenuity lets you represent the same thing in so many similar, yet different ways.
I don't know for sure if this would work, but it's pretty common for services to have a monthly subscription where the first month is free. You could maybe set up something like that, which either gets cancelled by you just after the end of the first month, or cancelled by the user at some point before then. (where "month" is some arbitrary duration)

I wrote about this at https://r6.ca/blog/20100802T005835Z.html.

Basically entropy is a function of descriptions of state rather than states themselves. So when you talk about jar of gas having a certain volume and pressure, there is a set of states that satisfy that description and the logarithm of the volume of that set of states (in phase space) is the entropy of that description.

Liouville’s theorem says that the volume of a subset of phase space is preserved under time evolution of the system. So if you want to have a machine that reliably transform from one description to another description, then the volume of the latter description must be at least as large as the initial description. That is the second law of thermodynamics.

(This are a bit more complicated than I state above because you have to work with differentials, but the basic idea is there).

The Poincaré recurrence theorem says individual states eventually almost reoccur, but this doesn't apply to a volume of states. The volume of states usually gets smeared out throughout phase space.

Like if you start the Lorenz equations on a square of points instead of an individual point, it gets smeared out over the entire Lorenz attractor. And while individual points in that square nearly reoccur, the entire square does not. And thus you cannot build a machine to reliably reduce entropy because you cannot predict when your reoccurance will reoccur (even if you can compute an upper bound on how long it will take) since you never know precisely the initial conditions to begin with (you start somewhere in that initial square).

The government would have to document the API for requesting tokens for anyone to use it. I suggested a scheme here[0] where it's clear that the government doesn't get any information about the service (unless the service re-uses AES keys) and the service doesn't get any information about the user other than whether they're in the appropriate age group.

Potentially there could be coordination between .gov and the service to track users by having each side store the temporary AES key and reconcile out-of-band. But .gov has other ways they could get that information anyway if they have cooperation from businesses (e.g. asking your ISP for your IP address, and asking the service provider for a list of user IPs).

"Target" is likely inflaming some people here.

To use the neutral -- it makes you an outlier or ab-normal (different than normal).

Being separated from an average profile doesn't mean you are anything. It's exclusionary, not inclusionary.

Which other groups you fall into (privacy-concerned techies, terrorists, aficionados of pistachio ice cream, etc.) would require inclusionary signals.

And absent living off the grid, you're likely not going to mask exclusionary signals, simply by virtue of most people creating them 24/7. That's a lot of "side work" to artificially keep up with.
I have been in almost exactly the scenario you described as vehicle A. I came up to an intersection and my view was occluded by a car parked to my right in a no parking zone. There also was a gradual bend in the road a few hundred feet to my right. I looked right, then left and started creeping out. I then saw that there was a car barreling towards me that I couldn't see (because they weren't visible when I first looked right). By the time I saw them I couldn't stop fast enough to prevent being hit. But he barely hit the passenger quarter panel and the skid marks were completely straight which is to say that I was barely in his lane and had come to a complete stop when hit.

I did mess up by not creeping slightly slower but the driver who hit me had far better visibility (I checked from that perspective). I am almost certain they were going too fast for the roadway and may not have been fully paying attention. I didn't just blast through. I was creeping out at very low speed. An attentive driver would have seen me and taken evasive action and/or honked.

The third party that had illegally parked obstructing my view can and drove off while we were sorting out the wreckage. In my shock, it took weeks before I realized that they had also contributed significantly but I had no proof since they'd just driven away.

I was considered fully liable for the crash since I had entered the roadway without the right of way. I accept that I made a small mistake. I understand why the insurance people made that determination. But it still burned to be considered fully at fault considering all the other mistakes (including bad road design) that contributed.

I will bet though that driver B in my crash felt that I was completely at fault and might have described it exactly as your mother did her accident. In his case, I think he likely would have been leaving out his role in not paying attention and driving too fast. There can be more nuance even to seemingly cut and dried cases.
Yes but I think the courts would instantly shoot down having the NSA collect everyone’s garbage and sift through it for anything incriminating
If you're curious, you should look up the story (I saw on HN years ago) about an apple R&D engineer leaving a next-gen iPhone prototype at a bar. Some guy found it and took it home and Apple got almost a SWAT team level response from the police to get it back. Also, the programmer who quit Goldman Sachs and they got the FBI to arrest and hold him for (IIRC) a whole year before he cleared his name. Allegedly he copied the entire trading system software to his personal drive, (and he did start his own HFT company) but his side was that people copied company code outside the network all the time and this was routine, and none of GS' code was found on his new company's server.
Isn’t that quote deeply confused about what “free speech” means? Free speech does not mean you can say unflattering things and avoid any push-back or social consequences. Think about it: if you say something mean to someone and they can’t say something mean back, then their freedom is limited.

Furthermore, free speech isn’t absolute, and libel, slander, fighting words, and untrue statements all aren’t protected by free speech laws in the US. Vindictive responses to exaggeration or lies are not subject to freedom of speech law. They certainly could be illegal for other reasons.

“Freedom of speech is usually seen as a negative right.[24] This means that the government is legally obliged to take no action against the speaker based on the speaker's views, but that no one is obliged to help any speakers publish their views, and no one is required to listen to, agree with, or acknowledge the speaker or the speaker's views.”
