Mark Zuckerburg, Nov 11, 2016:

> Personally I think the idea that fake news on Facebook, which is a very small amount of the content, influenced the election in any way — I think is a pretty crazy idea. Voters make decisions based on their lived experience.

Mark Zuckerburg, Sep 27, 2017

> The facts suggest the greatest role Facebook played in the 2016 election was... Campaigns spent hundreds of millions advertising online to get their messages out even further. That's 1000x more than any problematic ads we've found... After the election, I made a comment that I thought the idea misinformation on Facebook changed the outcome of the election was a crazy idea. Calling that crazy was dismissive and I regret it. This is too important an issue to be dismissive. But the data we have has always shown that our broader impact -- from giving people a voice to enabling candidates to communicate directly to helping millions of people vote -- played a far bigger role in this election."

Do you know who the real "chucklefucks" are? The people telling Mark Zuckerburg "plausible" stories with first principle inductive reasoning about what is or is not important on Facebook. It was a huge mistake to listen to them between November 4th and November 11th, 2016, just when he issued his first erroneous comment. He controls all the data on Facebook and has the means to analyze it, so he had absolutely no reason to listen to those people at all. He should have just waited and found out what the real answer was.

You're making a good faith comment. But you don't really know what evidence there is. In fact you don't know anything about it at all. You have no reason to speculate, because campaigns and phone companies have all of the data needed to answer the question, and agitating them to answer it is the right thing to do. Mistakes happen from people conflating fast answers with correct ones. Even Mark Zuckerburg does. So your answer is good because it is fast and inductive and first principles, but it is also really, really bad because it requires no reading, no analysis and no real knowledge, just fuzzy-wuzzy podcast-and-pop-sci takeaways. Sucking the air out of the room with a fast and cheap answer undermines the people trying to investigate influence campaigns. So you can be sincere and co-opted at the same time.
> The problem is that "aren't you confusing" comes across as very snarky.

Does it really? My bad then, English being hard once again…

> and getting upset about those downvotes doesn't help.

It did actually, the comment isn't at record breaking level anymore ;)

So, just like always then.
President of The United States has a reputation of being a low-tech job. The level of security around him means all electronic devices he uses have gone through the wringer of best in class "cyber security."

While '98 feels a bit late Clinton was in office between '93-'00. This sounds like the timeframe e-mail became a critical part of daily life.
> This looks like one of those KPI fulfilling projects

It actually wasn't. This has been one of the top community requests for the Windows Command Line for years. Literally, for like, the entire 8 years I've been here, we've been talking about if there was a way to do Sudo for Windows.

This was done because it makes developers happy, plain and simple. If that's a KPI, then that's the one we're optimizing for.

Newegg of all companies runs good deals on their TikTok store. It's algorithmed to shit though, so the deals are effectively random.
Agreed. And to make it worse, Clear speeds up the id checking phase of airport security, but that has never been the chokepoint in my experience (it's instead the xray scanner).
I work from home and take Uber rides regularly. Lately I've gotten deteriorating service quality and value from Uber. On multiple occasions an Uber Share ride either said "walk 9 minutes to your pickup location" or after leaving the downtown core approaching the highway on-ramp, headed back into the core beyond where it picked me up, to get another rider, adding 20 minutes for a 30 min trip.

At this point, it's more economical for me to drive myself. I'd be surprised if Uber can maintain growing profits.

Hah. This man gets a kick out of reading the phone book.
That’s kind of my point. What would be the play for Rust? Mozilla is all about open source-it’s hard to imagine some enterprise scheme here, or what that would even be.
Perhaps. Corporate entomologies tend to be very well rehearsed stories, and I’ve been around the valley long enough to know those stories aren’t always the whole story.

I would encourage you to read the Kissinger / Schmidt book before settling your opinion.

That origin story may be true. But it doesn’t make the whole story necessarily.

Trump's case is different. The US has a reasonable election system. I don't believe there was fraud in american elections.

Even so, I seriously doubt you would approve if US government officials acted like the brazilians did. How would you feel if supreme court judges started walking all over the constitution by unilaterally censoring Trump during his campaign? Then after he loses they go to some public event to proudly brag about how they defeated Trumpism? What if I told you among those judges was Biden's own lawyer? That these judges moved to more or less erase all the crimes of the Biden administration and now they're subjecting Trump to persecution? Surely such unabashed displays of corruption are not tolerated in the USA.
'well organized' in the sense that there is a lot of GOTV organizing but that is to make up for a deficit, it doesn't mean that black folks are particularly resilient to these tactics.

> The risks involving hallucinations are too damn high still, and may always be.

Yes, but I think in the limited realm of people who otherwise wouldn't get any advice at all, I think LLMs could play a useful role. American healthcare is so prohibitively expensive that many people with potential medical issues will avoid seeing a doctor until it is too late to do anything. Checking in with an LLM could help people at least identify red flags that really can't be ignored, and it would be more helpful than WebMD telling you that everything is cancer.
There are other considerations when naming something like this. "Bard" likely could never be a wake word on its own, for instance, but I'd imagine that "Gemini" will be at some point.

The comment you are replying to is about skiing on public land, Disney has nothing to do with it.
Fastpass didn't cost money till they rebranded it DisneyGenie+ in the last couple years. It was just a way to get a reservation for a ride that anyone could do.
> And the Vision Pro leaves me with no doubt that this device’s display—two separate tiny OLED displays, each of 4K-ish resolution, one for each eye—is the absolute best on the planet in a consumer device.

What is the actual resolution on this device and pixel density? How does it compare to Valve index?

Can you still see individual pixels if you look for them?
It would be nice to be able to donate just to support the development of the browser and get in return a kind of badge of honor or mention. Like it is done for Linux Mint for example.

Citizen’s United was “yeah, leaning pretty hard here.”

Flipping the hours d’ouvres table over on Roe v. Wade, a tense but stable compromise, that’s verging on activist. You don’t go knocking over fragile, workable standoffs that have held longer than an Ulster cease-fire if you can help it as a senior jurist.

It’s a pretty neo-neocon consensus to put it charitably.

It’s still the highest court in the land and it’s still binding, but I hope any thinking person is hoping for more a more“spirited but healthy” tension between major worldviews.

The TSA doesn't have a first class only line, at least not at the major airports I frequent. Are you talking about the airlines' ticket/baggage counters?
That's the same thing; "the aversion to less colourful designs seems childish" - no it doesn't. When the Queen of England wore pink, did you say "her aversion to less colourful clothes makes her seem like a child"? When someone buys a red Ferrari do you think they didn't buy a muted gray Ferrari because they seem childish? When a builder drives a yellow JCB do you think they wish for a gray bulldozer because colour is for infants? When Michaelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel do you think it was in a fit of infantile pique that he didn't make it monochrome? When a doctor recommends you eat a rainbow coloured meal of veg, do you think that seems more or less childish than only eating beige mashed potatoes and white fish? When a street sign says 'no entry' do you think the red border makes it look more childish than a black border? When someone has a blue can opener is that more childish than a metal can opener?

> "may go hand in hand with designs that treat the user as inept"

May, may not. Is orthogonal to.

> "I don't like being treated as inept or incapable."

What a chain of reasoning. "I don't like being treated as inept (fine), so to remind myself how capable I am I need to not look at colours otherwise I will fantasize that other people are laughing at me (not fine)".
To the brim, for sure.

Probably one day we'll have a "citizen preferences file" where the confidentiality of our interactions with various entities can be granularly set.
I didn't read the parents comment as trying to make a point of nationalistic pride, but to frame the US in the broader international context. There are a lot of countries in the world. The majority of which rank below the US on measurements of corruption, and many on police violence.

One has to be wary of fake investment companies online these days. I was a victim of an investment scam. I lost $70K to a scam broker. However, I was able to recover all my funds with the help of this Contact (wisetechhack@ gmail .com)
FWIW: John left in 1994 (same year I did) and technically Autodesk had acquired 3D Studio in 1990, though the Yost group was still developing it, so acquired is a generous term. The product was sold through Autodesk's dealer channels. The branding and marketing was all Autodesk.

John had little to nothing to do with 3D studio however, there was a mild competition within the company with two different 3D rendering (Autoshade and 3D Studio) products. I worked on both, moving from AutoFlix development to helping the Yost group test and market 3D Studio.
Exactly the opposite, there will be not a VIP + normal, but Politician + VIP + normal lanes.
I don't have any insider knowledge but:

> your only lever is to negotiate (from a position of weakness, because they're much bigger) a deal every 3 years in order to keep paying your employees.

It's entirely possible that Mitchell Baker was responsible for getting hundreds of millions of dollars extra for Firefox when they switched search provider and then back, invoking a clause in their agreement with Yahoo.

Which seems like some pretty skilful playing of a bad hand.
Well-organized as in it's well-organized; for instance, it's significantly coordinated through Black churches (church participation is partly predictive of Democratic turnout performance in major Black districts). All this from White & Laird's book.

I mean, by all means send people who do this stuff to prison. I'm not saying it shouldn't be taken seriously. But I don't think it really works at any kind of scale.
I'm no fan of Apple, but this just seems like the right thing to do until they add the requisite APIs for third-party browsers to act as PWA hosts.
They just added the reference to QuickJS [0].

Clear lines in major markets have been consistently longer than precheck for the past year. On top of that, they're building a new, private facial recognition system. Clear is hot garbage.
if you live in california, they almost certainly do.
It's not just that the journalists are technically illiterate. It's also that the people making these claims are trying to deceive. You needs lakes of water to have enough mass to make gravity batteries practical. Those are called pumped-hydro. Anything talking about dropping heavy things is probably about 6 orders or magnitude too small and a scam to get government funding.
As in you never get spam calls, or you don't consider them a problem becausee you ignore them?

Because I get 2-3 a day on my Pixel and they annoy the poop out of me, even though I don't answer them.
Yep, that's basically the entire diagram. The information that's passed is basically just the commandline, env vars, and a handle to the console of the unelevated sudo's console. Once it's got a handle to the console, the elevated sudo can spawn the target app attached to the original console, rather than a new one. Simple as that!
That’s neat. An easy concept to understand here is that with a pair to consider you will never target the worst node. At worst it’s the second most loaded node.
I was going to ask the same question... I've been using Bard for everyday tasks for a while now and it's as good and sometimes better that GPT-4 (I pay for a Pro subscription). Someone ruling out an LLM because it couldn't answer one question, speaks more to them than the LLM capabilities.

Just yesterday I was using both GPT-4 and Bard to figure out an IPv6 routing issue. I pasted in the same questions and the same troubleshooting logs to both, and Bard was able to help me solve it quicker than GPT-4.
As I said on the other post, I strongly doubt that. It offers few benefits and many roadblocks. It would be a monstrous amount of work, would throw into question many existing security-related certifications, break Microsoft's love of backwards-compatibility, etc.

All MS is trying to do is make it easier for developers to develop on Windows for Windows, which it has ample incentive to do both internally and externally.
The benchmark shows Node.js taking 1.5s(!) to start vs. LLRT taking under 100ms.

But the benchmark appears to be a very small program that imports the AWS SDK.

Later on in the readme, it's mentioned that LLRT embeds the AWS SDK into the binary.

So... How much of what the benchmark is showing here is just the fact that the embedded SDK loads much faster than application code?

I mean, it's certainly a valid optimization for Lambdas that are primarily making AWS API calls. But it'd also be interesting to know how much faster LLRT is at loading arbitrary code. As well as interesting to know if the embedding mechanism could be made directly available to applications to make their own code load faster.

(Disclosure: I work on Cloudflare Workers, a competitor. But, honestly interested in this.)
Show HN: iAmAgile – another planning poker, but clean and with a pinch of fun
https://www.ifixit.com/News/90409/vision-pro-teardown-part-2...

It’s very difficult to spot individual pixels. I arguably only notice if I bring a 3D render very close to my eyes, but generally speaking - it’s not worse/better than a regular 4K display
Hi all, I always used different planning poker tools while working in teams, but they all seemed "too much" and not smooth. Myself with a small team built the most clean and simple version we could think of. Out main focus - simplicity, nice feel and touch, try to make it a little fun allowing participants to spam emojis and poke one another. You can start from the website directly with one click, or from you slack with one /poker command.

Looking for feedback on how to account for other teams workflows better. But mainly we looking for ideas how to simplify (and potentially gamify) other common workflows in a similar way (+ via our slack bot). Maybe we can smoothen some jira pain points by providing slack commands to close sprints and move all tickets? Or something about 5 whys after incidents? Really curious what you’ve seen while working in dev teams and found boring and annoying to do.

Perhaps it was both tongue-in-cheek and not. But if they're not doing anything "wrong" then what is there to fear? Nothing.

What will really happen is that we find out that there are millions of LLCs owned by a few corporate investment offices that are driving up the price of housing for my fellow citizens, actual human beings who I value far more than any legal fictions.
This came up on a thread the other day, and I think a good counterpoint is emergency evacuation orders for the elderly. My mom doesn’t use a computer, cell phone, tablet, etc, and a robocall to her land line would be the only way to notify her.
Ukraine was a nuclear power in the same way Japan, Germany, or Turkey are now. No control over the actual nukes, just being protected by them as deterrence, but also thereby becoming a target in case of a hot conflict. Oh, and also the capability to develop the capability on their own, since they have lots of nuclear reactors and nuclear scientists.
Oh fancy that. More anticonsumer actions from apple. Zero surprises.

Waiting for apple simps to come and defend it with some bs. Honestly repeated breaches of law intentionally by apple needs a few execs slapped in jail. Negligent company needs a reigning in.

Ask HN: What programming language book(s) are you reading?
My question was inspired by some of the recent (or somewhat earlier) HN threads about programming languages, which I have always been interested in, as a developer (but not an implementor).

Some of those recent threads are about Rust, of which there are many these days, Lisp, Python, BASIC or Visual BASIC, and this one about Perl:

I should have specified that, to me personally (but apparently not for you), those old forums were very much like social media. I don’t see a categorical difference between them because the same behaviour is displayed on both of them.
If theft is a form of violence, then American police do commit more of that form of violence than robbers do.

That's factual. For feds at least - it likely is for local police too but we don't have numbers to evaluate.
Nokia is not a carrier. They were on the right track but they evaporated after the iPhone (and maybe the Razr before it).

At the time I left the industry the carriers had gotten so bold, they were trying to go around Motorola, Nokia, Ericsson and friends and get white label phones straight from the people who manufactured these phones, like HTC (before anyone had heard of them). Then they would have made no concessions to the likes of Nokia to allow what to them would be considered side loading.

If the RAZR hadn’t been ridiculously successful, if the iPhone hadn’t kicked them while they were down, we’d be watching antitrust hearings to break up cellphone carriers right now.
I won't deny that it's possible, but I think it's unlikely. The introduction of AMD SoCs like the Steam Deck and Z1 suggest that a portable Xbox is possible with much less overhead than switching ISA (again)

I'm not even sure if the performance race is going to endure - Sony continues to hold the home console crown, Nintendo prints money with their hugely outdated Switch, and Microsoft appear to be pivoting to publishing more than a console exclusivity race they will probably never win ("going Sega")

As you said, the future of x86 isn't guaranteed, but if I were calling shots I'd look at Arm designs with embedded graphics like Exynos and Snapdragon before trying to build a fully custom design based on POWER and graphics from elsewhere (probably still AMD, and that single-source has been compelling enough to adopt even while the CPU performance was lackluster)

Oh my stars! The network effect of "the community" is the worst part of Github. Your life and your project will be much better without whiny entitled people spamming the same issues expecting free support, and endless "i got an error" bug reports.
Why does it indicate that?

Every election in every country took place without Internet or (meaningful amounts of) cell phone service not that long ago.
I'm absolutely not sweeping liberalism with nazism, sorry if it came out this way. My point is that I don't see extremism being more characteristic of conservatism than some other ideologies.

You’re responding to a type of comedy bit. Rich doesn’t want to post “I think the complaints about libsoftiktok are made up” because explaining why that is isn’t as entertaining as simply making disagreeing with that position as tedious as possible. Rather than trying to convince other people of this position, it is more fun to flat out refuse to do any research at all — and then move the goalposts once somebody falls for the bait.

For example, I actually answered Rich’s last question but didn’t get a reply because it didn’t fit into the bit.
