Please demonstrate, then.
It’s 2024. There is still no good generally available way to send files between systems on the same LAN, let alone over the Internet.

These kinds of blind spots exist because not only is there no money in solving them (and open solutions are too hard to use as usual) but in this case there is money in not solving them. A great simple ubiquitous solution would reduce demand for large complicated cloud storage systems that allow cloud data mining of all your files and/or require subscriptions.
The issue is that Hamas is both completely morally bankrupt and also intractable, and Netanyahu equally so. When the war first broke out, and all these so-called "leftists" where chanting "from river to sea," and advocating for Hamas, of course I had to support Israel, because at least Israel was still democratic, and many of those IDF soldiers being sent in were muslim themselves.

Well, look at things now. It's a bloodbath. The most radical solution of them all, that the people themselves must rise up and organize and fight back against both Hamas and the Israeli government, is increasingly the only rational solution and the only end to the conflict. But that would also require an international movement and an international struggle. But why should we ask for any less, global warming will come for us all anyway if we don't change the order of the world.

Comparing the safety of x to driving should be an official fallacy on par with Godwin's Law at this point (which in turn is no longer as firm as it once was). Driving is by far the most dangerous activity that most of us undertake on a regular basis, and is the leading cause of death in Canada among people aged 5-25, and remains in the top three until age 40 (after self-harm and drug use).[1] Switching your commute from a car to a bike or public transit will extend your lifespan, not because it's healthier, but because you're less likely to be killed by another car.

> Any other country if they did just ban US social media like that would probably find itself in a trade war

Probably not. There is enough frustration with the tech giants across the political spectrum that consolidating votes for a retaliation wouldn't happen.

> Not even China or Russia just went ahead and banned US tech companies

China banned Google and Facebook years ago.

And Russia? "In March 2022, Russia criminalized spreading 'misinformation' against its war with Ukraine. TikTok then banned any new uploads and only allowed old videos that were uploaded within Russia" [1].

A little surprised that neither the paper nor the discussion here cite Francois Chollet's 2019 paper on defining intelligence for machines [1], which talks explicitly about visual reasoning and proposed an RPM-like visual task as a benchmark. I found it very useful for thinking about what it means for an AI to be generally intelligent.

From what I remember (having not read it in a while), his idea is basically that general intelligence is the efficiency with which you can learn, after appropriately "penalizing" any baked-in priors or knowledge beyond what a typical animal is born with.

As an example, Magnus Carlsen's chess skill is a testament to his general intelligence because he became skilled at chess in one human lifetime, starting out with only basic priors about the world like objectness, agentness, and some others I can't remember. In contrast, DeepBlue is not as intelligent, because it started with many more priors specific to chess, and AlphaZero is also not as intelligent, because it acquired its chess skill much less efficiently, requiring the equivalent of thousands of human lifetimes.

I don't remember if the paper considers whether 3.5 billion years of "pre-training" counts in this regard, though.

There was an HN discussion in 2020 about the oldest business or commercial establishment in various countries and/or continents. Many of those are involved with, variously, food service, alcohol, teaching, construction, or banking.

While at the end you do mention that they also have no space for someone to stay if you ask me it's overshadowed again by your focus on not having a guest room.

Our parents also used to have "guest rooms" by virtue of just keeping the kids bedrooms as-is for a while. Then at some point each changed these rooms over to other uses as well. No difference from what I hear you say really.

Maybe this is different for your parents (in law) but your communications make it unclear. Did you ever talk to them about it? There are sofa beds in some rooms, which we use when we stay but I would never ever expect them to not use the room(s) for their purposes under normal circumstances.

We've had laws around the foreign ownership of e.g. radio stations for decades.
It's a filesystem where many operations return an error (historically, EROFS). There are many things you can't do with one. Is that interesting somehow?

I don't agree with defining a filesystem as something that has to be backed by a block device, but the shape of a filesystem API is historically very different from the shape of the S3 API.
> in China there's orders of magnitude more knowledge hidden in Wechat, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, etc.

I wouldn't refer to highly censored information, disinformation, and discourse controlled by the CCP as "knowledge".

Similarly for western social media. While they're not directly controlled by governments, each platform has its own biases and algorithms that enforce their values and beliefs on the information hosted on their servers. These are not public squares that protect "freedom of speech", regardless of what they may claim.

The knowledge found on these sites is of minimal value, and most of it is drowned by the noise produced by the vast majority of their users and bots.
For an app that relies on network effect I'd imagine 'just hard enough'.

> TikTok is not any more harmful than US-based social media. What the US should do is demonstrate some leadership by enacting privacy laws that work the same for everyone.

The concern isn't privacy, but political manipulation. National security has broad electoral support. Privacy does not. (The overlap between people who care about privacy and people who don't participate in politics is significant enough to render it moot.)

Hi, I'm one of the authors of the Cloudflare blog and maintainer of Cloudflare's drand nodes.

You're correct -- after the initial distributed key generation, the values produced by the drand network are deterministic (this is one of the properties that allows for timelock encryption). The security properties of drand rely on a threshold of nodes remaining uncompromised, but mixing in fresh randomness isn't necessary. (Although you could imagine having some drand chains that incorporate fresh randomness for properties like post-compromise security.)

> isn't the following quote from the Cloudflare blog misleading?
>> > Each organization contributes its own unique source of randomness into the joint pool of entropy used to seed the drand network

If this is misleading it wasn't intentional! We used the word "seed" since the randomness from LavaRand is only mixed in when the network is initialized, but perhaps that could have been phrased better. Or perhaps we should have split it into separate blogs talking about LavaRand and drand since they're only tangentially related :).

Simply handing out money, as most UBI proposals suggest, is flawed, for many reasons.

What does seem worthy of attempting, however, would be to build prison-like facilities where people could apply to live for free, the only real difference is no locks on the doors. Social areas, dining hall, a bed, labor opportunities... that's a Basic lifestyle, with far less opportunity for fraud, that might actually engender social interaction and provide experiences that enable people to find better jobs going forward. Call it Universal Basic Living.
> China set the precedent, they did ban Google etc in China. India banned TikTok too

And to clarify, those were bans. This is not. TikTok just needs to be sold to a non-foreign adversary country.
Why stop there? Why don’t you suggest banning Google, WhatsApp, all news sites generally, and more?

afaict the reasoning for banning TikTok kinda makes sense for getting it off of the devices of government employees. The rest seems pretty overblown and silly to me.
There’s a lot more that goes into velocity of money/demand for money than those 2 singular factors.
I call social media “tobacco companies of the mind.”

All of it is toxic. All of it is manipulative. It’s all designed to addict you (“maximizing engagement” is code for addiction) to feed you ads and propaganda.

It destroys relationships, ruins people’s attention spans, and eats people’s time. It’d also the main driver of political hyper-polarization because that’s what maximizes engagement.

In the end it leaves nothing to show for itself. Books, movies, even radio and TV leave behind a cultural legacy. Social media leaves nothing because there is nothing worth saving. It’s barely even worthy of being called media.

I’ve watched it evolve since MySpace and over time it has only become less intelligent, more polarizing, less actually social, and more addicting.

Burn it all down.

Edit: TikTok seems like it’s currently the pinnacle of hyper-addictive trash. I predict the next iteration beyond TikTok will drop the pretense of social entirely and just use AI to generate personalized streams of addictive filler. It’ll be the mental equivalent of the tub or “Flaturin” the idiots eat on Idiocracy. Just addictive vapor to act as a medium for ad delivery. YouTube is kinda already heading this way.
> The lives on 200 Israeli hostages are not in any shape or form worth more than the lives of 200 Palestinians.

Ok, this sounds bad, but maybe you meant something else? Like not that Hamas can kill/kidnap with impunity, use their own people as human shields, and Israel should just suck it up?

If these were Americans, I wouldn’t fault my government for going all out. It would just set a bad precedent to do otherwise.

Perhaps you'd prefer the South China Morning Post, which had 0 mentions of this incident in its article[0], although to be fair that paper is owned by the Alibaba group, whose CEO magically disappeared for months one time for speaking out against Xi.

It's a good thing we have numerous other sources on the matter[1][2][3].

But I suppose they're all owned by western corporations, so who can we trust? I myself wouldn't trust the paper that casually omitted a crucial detail about the controversy.

"Squirrel away" is a far more common metaphor for that concept.

Google search results for me turn up ~4k hits for "acorn away", vs. nearly a million for "squirrel away".

Similarly on Google Ngram Viewer: <https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=acorn+away%2Cs...>

Though "acorn away" seems to have had some currency in the mid 19th century:

<https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=acorn+away%2Cs...>

Though not in the sense you are using it best I can tell.

"Squirrel away" seems to have gained in prevalence after the 1950s, for some reason.

I don’t know about this one, but in general it seems like some of the legal issues coming at AI deployments are quite legitimate. Some AI datasets are definitely violating existing copyright law. We can certainly debate whether the laws should change, and there are valid points on both sides. But to the question of whether some are breaking current laws, the answer is clearly yes.

Obviously the answer here is for companies producing AI to curate, obtain, and/or pay for fully legal training data. The problems have been that gathering and using copyrighted data is very easy, and AI is extremely data hungry (some experts theorize massive data alone is responsible for AI success, and algorithms are secondary at best), and there’s at least the perception if not the reality of a high stakes winner-takes-all race to produce the best AI.

To me this feels a little like the situation tech companies have put themselves in with automated support and no way to reach humans, in that they couldn’t have scaled like they did and gotten there without dropping hands-on support on the floor, but they’ve created a time bomb that is beginning to backfire in more and more serious ways.
Significant metal working and mining appears to have started at least 7,000 BCE with copper and lead - both (once) appear in surface | near surface deposits that can be chased back and are relatively easy to smash out and cold work when (near) 'pure'.

Ready to work gold nuggets are what they are and are rarer to find.

Metal work evolved with mining, chasing surface veins back, and this started in a significant way for first lead|copper, then tin, then other metals.

There's a recognised pre Bronze "Copper Age", then Bronze, then Iron.

Gold is shiny, beyond that it has a limited utility until the age of electronics; it's a bit soft for weapons or armour, a bit rare for sealing pipes, a bit non reactive for easy chemisty^H Alchemy, etc.

Technically, the executive can retaliate, including through the WTO. No need for Congress, that would be only necessary once it escalates, and then it wouldn't be a big tech only issue anywhere. Beyond that, there would probably be retaliation next Congress anyways.

China did not ban Google and Facebook. They both had the opportunity to comply with extremely restrictive local laws and both decided not to bother (especially Facebook for which it would likely have been too expensive).It offered both to obey the same laws and controls as local companies, and they refused. Famously, Google had Project Dragonfly to make their own TikTok/Douyin split, until political and employee pressure stopped that.

This is very much precedented (and is done by many more countries for many more industries), in a way that banning TikTok just isn't.

>Well, look at things now. It's a bloodbath.

That isn't entirely Israel's fault, history shows that urban warfare has always been a destructive tragedy. It's why we invented rules like clearly separating military and civilian installations. Unfortunately, Hamas turned that on its head by deliberately mixing everything so civvies can't be ignored even moreso than usual.

When you have military (FSVO military) infrastructure located underneath hospitals and UN installations among others, of fucking course it's going to be a bloodbath. It's not like Israel can just not respond to the October attack that triggered this war either.

Moral is that there are reasons why the west has adopted ways to try and be somewhat civilized if we wage war, the rest of the world hasn't caught up yet.
