The Republicans would be exposing the thinking that has resulted in them losing almost every culture war battle in the last ... I don't know how long. The bureaucracies enforcing anti-trust will lean left. Eventually there will be a bias of anti-trust action used to break up any companies that look to be helping Republican candidate elected. It'll be these Donald Trump court cases all over again.

What actually works for the right is free markets. Turns out if they just leave YouTube alone they get Rumble. If they ignore Twitter they get X. If Amazon makes a habit of booting right-wing sites, there will be a right wing version of Amazon. There are more than enough right wing media consumers for a free market to reward right-leaning content. Anti-trust will eventually lead to overregulation and lock in of companies hostile to the right in general and republicans in particular.

There is a much better argument for anti-trust to try and defuse the risk of a vast an hasty flash-mob forming and doing something stupid, but as a political response it just isn't going to be effective.
IT would be much better to put a '?' icon in its place rather than 'x'. You're abusing user expectations. It's a dark pattern when that happens. Trade off or not, a dark pattern is a pattern that tricks user into acting against their own interests or desires.
Just vote.

You don't need to up-end your life into full-blown activism to bring change. You just need to vote. IMO, trying to do everything is just going to discourage people. Trying to tax the rich and fix democracy is a good goal, but orthogonal to controlling the impact of AI, so packaging it together is likewise going to discourage people.

Even if you disagree, the first step to any of that is to actually get out and vote. Don't fall into the trap of being politically active online and then sitting home at elections because you bought into the lie that individual votes won't make a difference.
> while 2020 was one of the lowest years on record

Kind of an interesting data point given that wildfires are often unintentionally started by humans and 2020 was the bulk of the lockdown from COVID.
As an app developer in the EU, my apps rarely target JUST the EU, but also the US and beyond.
From the article:

"January was the first full month in office for Milei, a far-right libertarian who took office in December, and it ended with a positive balance for public-sector finances of $589 million at the official exchange rate, the government said late Friday."

He isn't a far-right anything and this phrasing taints the article and subsequent discussion. I urge commentators to please not project your domestic politics into one of the weirdest countries in the world. Especially if you have never been there.

After spending some months exploring that place and interacting with all manner of folks "There are 4 kind of economies: developed, undeveloped, Japan and Argentina" is one of the truest things I've ever heard in my life. It just doesn't map to anything you're familiar with.

The system there is extremely broken and corrupt and has been since before you were born. It is going through a chaotic reset. They might dollarize. I think they should and definitely wish them the best.

Completely orthogonal to social policies I know many on this website might have a problem with.
what exact technologies do you think governments are depending on that if replaced could speed up the execution of laws and prosecution of cases?
Build audience. Learn sales. No one can take you that away.

I am working on 485789344573985749 projects where I am trying to build audiences and create products and AI is very helpful in such a situation.

Also as a developer you can use AI in various ways to help you out for simple dev tasks :)

How are you getting the transcripts? Using the private YT API like in https://www.npmjs.com/package/youtube-transcript?
This is the only sane policy. Timezone conversion must be delayed to the very last moment before displaying time to users.

If I needed to define a daily alarm in a local wall clock time, I'd happily deal with a zoneless dateless hour-minute tuple and determine the alarm time by combining a date and a time using a timezone. Right after I'd convert that and handle the rest in UTC.
Didn’t Microsoft win that case?
Just because he made a good thing decades ago doesn’t mean he has any clue about what is going on now.

Many of us actually work in the field and are tired of the mindless hype and self promotion. LeCun is just upset people aren’t hyping his crap rather than OpenAIs.

But I’m sure you can give a good reason why he calls it self supervised instead of unsupervised and JEPA instead of BYOL or data2vec and what his actual contributions to the field of modern representation learning are.

Pauling had a Nobel, didn’t stop him being a crank about vitamin C.
Low-Intensity Zone 2 Workouts Benefit All Exercisers
I know an Apple worker (don't know what you mean by CS), and he's worked there for decades and from all reports they do treat the employees they value very well. Not sure about the more expendable ones though.

In any case, my comment was a little tongue in cheek.
Apple appears to be following a trajectory reminiscent of Microsoft's pre-Satya Nadella era.

Apple’s myopic focus on safeguarding its only growing revenue stream, the App Store, coupled with hubris in its dealings with developers and an abrasive approach toward regulators, suggests potential challenges ahead.

The optimism surrounding Tim Cook as the savior of Apple may be subject to reconsideration, as his tenure may not be remembered favorably. Under his leadership, Apple has seemingly become a crack head, getting high on the App Store revenue.
Why are you limiting this to the legal perspective? They are not doing what is in the interest of their users (and the spirit of the DMA), for petty reasons. As a user, that’s obviously bad.

The article's talk page already has a request for an impartial editor to weigh in, though several months old.
These broad context reasoning benchmarks miss the point.

Researchers in child cognitive psychology make better tests for reasoning ability. Children have very limited knowledge, so the tests are based on core concepts like numbers, physical object properties like that object can't be in two places simultaneously. Also some objects have agency and some don't, some things are platonic and some concrete.

For example, can LLM can determine reliably what is a "moral subject", or "has agency" using simple language that is suitable for children (no specific terminology that works as a hint). Surely LLM can't do legal reasoning if it can't do that.

In my own experiments, LLM's are too much syntax driven to be reliable. When you frame the exact same question in 10 different ways, you get 4 different answers. As long as I can make LLM to think that Number 4 pencil is responsible for stabbing someone, it really can't do common sense reasoning.

I doubt that 90% of the jobs will be eliminated.

90% of the existing jobs may be eliminated, but that will free up more artists to work in more animation studios. Therefore, we will see a resurgence in animated films.

When the assembly line came into being, we didn't end up losing all of the workers to the factory - we built more factories instead.
It's not so much that they are easy per se, but compared to what SpaceX does regularly, it's peanuts. A simplified version of what they already do.

Assuming the warhead itself can handle the detonation part, what part of "fly to these coordinates fast, don't brake" do you think would be difficult for SpaceX based on their current capabilities?

I mean there aren't enough quality studies to make conclusions either way. But the promise to us was that safe supply would help drug users, and this uptick in homeless drug addicts and more people suffering visibility from drug issues at least seems to run counter to that that should at least give us pause and make us re evaluate

This was done because Portugal did it and people in places like hacker news started pushing it as evidence based because of self proclaimed success in Portugal. Well overdose and drug use is up in Portugal, it's up in Portland and it's up here. How long are proponents going to suggest other factors - this safe supply idea is starting to look less evidence based and more like a religious belief.
This was a really fun read. I’ve only read a couple short stories ever that so narrowly focus on the technology of today, but I think it’s great. Such an effective and entertaining way of discussing what’s in the news cycle.
A true observation, especially since many European countries (or just some citizens) wish to get rid of DST.

However, ±1 hour is not much of an error when talking about a time delay of at least a year.

Ah, but what you're failing to take into account is that there are magnets in the Apple Watch. And as we all know, you drop some water on the magnets, that's the end of the magnets.
You can say the same about Norway, that went full speed for electric cars but still extract and sell a lot of oil.
Your thoughts regarding open source are borderline irrational when places like Amazon will copy and paste your repository and start making billions off of it.
I have not had that experience.

Yes most of what is on the web is not trustworthy so a Google search will not show trustable sources.

Thus I look at known trustworthy sources e.g. traditional media where their biases are known. Or places like here which get some known reputation.

Reviews long established places like Consumer Reports and Which . Reviews on sites I assume most are false - but I look at negative ones and see if there are some common problems that seem reasonable.

I assume all influencers are liars or at least advertorials.

One good rule is looking how the site/author gets paid for doing what they do. If not obvious assume that it is getting clicks.
Thank you for introducing me to the word 'ensorcel'.
I think it has to be some kind of ethical void in the brain of decisionmakers who think they can trick their customers into paying them. Some kind of perverse manufactured business survival tactic driving their "close at any cost" mentality.
It is not about "exact" technologies but about having a goal and execute it in a smart way. That "exact" technology could be a tool that you know how to find and use from GitHub that is written in any programming language.
I think it is to the point tbh.

See, this is the thing. It’s just wrong in spirit. Americans just don’t care about China. Americans don’t particularly think about any other countries, period, and they definitely don’t care what those countries think of them.
Microsoft gave discounts on Windows licenses to companies that agreed to stop purchasing Netscape client and server software, thereby choking off Netscape revenue streams. It forced Netscape to sell to AOL.

Microsoft controlled 95% of the personal computer market, and they abused that position to put a competitor out of business because that competitor was a threat to their monopoly.

How does that compare to Apple Music?

Bit ironic, since the war is undoubtedly based on lies indeed (including not even calling it a war by the aggressor).

A pretty great mix of sharply prescient and horribly wrong.

Maybe a few straw men mixed in too, because I don't think there were many serious claims that computers would replace teachers. Computers and software were seen as supplementary.
I was in the general IT space for Superfish and remember only models found at big box stores were affected. Not the typical "business-grade" machines typically bought by government, industrial, and enterprise. This article confirms my memory https://www.welivesecurity.com/2015/02/20/lenovo-superfish-d...
From personal experience, American work/life balance seems to revolve around standing at the water cooler while Germans sit at their desks and do actual work.
Same here. And it's starting to look worse and worse over time. Before CGI was used to enhance a scene. Now no one shoots a scene in camera and adds CGI later (think Transformers / Jurassic Park), the whole scene is just CGI and it looks like crap.
> For example, the "Seneca tribe" calls themselves the Seneca Nation.

That sounds a lot more accurate given the explanation (also from other comments) where they have their own courts and everything. Odd that the words reservation and tribe are still in use like this.

(And perhaps I should clarify: I didn't mean to imply that these people (evidently having a billion to invest in solar) are living in huts or otherwise are like the historic hunter-gatherer societies I mentioned. The word evoced that image for me, but of course I realise that this cannot be accurate, hence the confusion.)

Conservatives always lose cultural battles in the end, that is why they are called conservatives they are the past the future is always progressive. Conservatives have short term victories but long term the conservatives become todays progressives, it is in the definition of the words.
>> BTW, the EU has been quasi irrelevant in realpolitik terms.

>What?

Please tell how it is relevant in macro politics.
Do you think there's a general lack of awareness or education these days about the world wide web? People who grew up with the internet couldn't get by without knowing the possibilities of websites and web browsers. Maybe I'm just old fashioned but I view web apps through that lens -- if an "app" merely wraps a website or otherwise relies on internet connectivity for core functionality I'd rather just use a full-blooded web browser.
Thank you for this. I didn't know about Echarts and had just started working on a low maintenance replacement for Grafana for personal use. This might end up replacing my current charting library Plotly. It looks way better documented for someone new to the charting landscape.

What is a long context window?
they will care in the future(!)

1. first ensure that companies may start to think strategically about putting their best to web programming (not web "designers" of flickering html screens who use css packages that are 1mb without dynamic loading and the page uses 1% of it)

2. wait 2 years

3. get the same UX (in standalone mode if you wish aka home screen web apps) via your freely chosen browser engine via the web for 100$ instead of 130$ in the App Store (some app lifetime cost, for the sake of argument)

4. see how people of the future decide :)

Before you complain about shitty websites and nobody wants web apps anyways, first ask the question whether you know any good company or developers who re-focused their resources (programmers) to abandon native programming and take all the fix cost hits for a strategy that delivers the same experience without 30% tax getting a competitive edge.

Oh, you cannot make such strategic decisions until regulators of the world force Apple to abandon anti-competitive practices? Like as you see even in 2024 there is still no clarity whether it will be possible to deliver the same standalone UX to iOS via the Web because of Apple?

Your reasoning is somewhat circular. Let alternative "app stores" like the web deliver the same standalone UX to iOS because it is hell possible with current web capabilities and every OS including macOS is capable of supporting browser sandboxing.

THEN wait 2-3-5 years so that best programmers can study the web and migrate to create the same fantastic experiences you claim by native apps.

THEN write your above comment if still applies, thanks!

Testimony of Widener, Chieffalo, Britton, and Nugent Re Lenovo Hack (2010) (pdf)
I thought it would be interesting to look up the testimony regarding the Lenovo spy chip reference in the Bloomberg Long Hack article:

>>>Q And these counterfeit parts were parts that the Marines
like you working on the network had installed because you
thought they were legitimate parts?
A Yes, sir.
Q Anything else going on during 2008 with other technology
that was found to be counterfeit being used by the military in
Iraq?
A The primary thing that was found was Lenovo laptops. IBM
Think Pads were outsourced to a company in China called Lenovo
to be built. A large amount of Lenovo laptops were sold to the
US military that had a chip encrypted on the motherboard that
would record all the data that was being inputted into that
laptop and send it back to China....
Probably because they don't have to pay themselves a 30% tax.
What would they have done differently if they'd known all that about Hoey? I'd still vote for my preferred party's candidate in such circumstances.
Power in concentrated hands is seldom a good thing. Putin has concentrated power. Elon also is getting a more concentrated power with X and SpaceX.

Elon can force enough of an algorithmic change to amplify conservative extreme views to elect Donald Trump.

Putin knows Elon and Trump are good for him. He just needs to prolong the war enough that he can annexe Ukraine while US looks the other way.

To play the devil’s advocate, Europe needs to build a stronger defense. They’re sitting ducks relying too much on US.
How many people use them on Android? Nobody around me... The Add to home prompt is "that thing you always click no or you get ads".
By that logic you can always make up a group in which a company controls 100% of the market.

Walmart should be forced to sell competitors products because they control the whole market for Walmart customers.
I have the exact opinions as Sweeney on this matter, but nobody cares what I think. Poeple listens to Sweeney, very few listen to me.
How are Android web apps going? An argument based on a hypothetical is inherently weak.
I want my mother to have as safe a phone as possible with a bare minimum of ways she can accidentally get hacked. Ideally with a gatekeeper between her and anything she is going to install that has permission to use phone features; like cameras. She would very much concur, insofar as she understands the issues.

She's using an iPhone specifically because Apple doesn't go for shenanigans like multiple ways to get apps on the phone. The point is to have an App store and funnel everything through it. There is enough sensitive stuff on a phone that I'm not even sure running a full web browser is a good idea for her. "Limited capability" really is the name of the game here.

It isn't just we don't care because Apple doesn't support it. We are in fact grateful to Apple for not supporting it. This is value-add by Apple. The "App for Everything" model of interacting with iPhones is/was a brief golden age for unsophisticated users where Apple was more than earning its commission. Android phones are technically fine, if people wanted this sort of thing they would go buy Android.
He missed Wikipedia and Amazon. Strangely he did not foresee that business pressure would have made payments feasible soon. The company I was working for was working with financial institutions on that only a couple of years later.

Everything else is more or less accurate.
The reality is even worse than this analogy, you only have two stores but customers going to one store cannot even shop in the other one!
Not useful, but artistic in nature. A number of magazines used to have illustrators do something similar in cases where there was no appropriate imagery.
Some of us have *really* slow internet connections, such that the much smaller day one patch is still going to take a quite long time to download. Much longer than the full installation from disc.
This is the best-worded form of this argument I've seen. Thanks!
This is specifically for the EU market. I have a very hard time caring. I don’t think it makes much of a difference
> However, ±1 hour is not much of an error when talking about a time delay of at least a year.

It is if this a doctor's appointment or a meeting with a friend or ... you get my point.
> Does it matter if this group of people refers to itself as a “tribe” or a “nation” or something else?

No, I just did not know what it meant and certainly would not have guessed something close to nation as it turns out to be! I'm feeling like there's suddenly more countries on the planet than I knew about, and wondering why we never hear from them on the news or elsewhere! Well, until now at least :)

A sibling comment says they avoid the word tribe to avoid the historic associations though, so I don't know what their preferred word would be. Probably it also differs between groups or even individuals within one.
But Apple can take those apps
out of the App Store.
Why would anyone care? Techies love to speak as if this is a matter of “education”. The reality is that people quite rightfully just don’t care.
