This bill doesn't even address that. If you want to ban Chinese owned companies because they ban ours, then present that. This is 1 company being targeted, with the potential for maybe some more later. That leaves all the rest operating as normal.
Thanks for clarifying. I understand this is a bit different, but if folks are using vim, the best resource (in my opinion) for novices is vimtutor. Just type "vimtutor" in the console. It uses an interactive tutorial to explain the basics of editing, saving, moving around — plus the various modes.
About intuitive eating... It can be a beneficial approach for many people, especially those looking to break free from restrictive diets and develop a more sustainable and enjoyable way of eating. However, it's essential to approach it with an open mind and be mindful of individual needs and health considerations. This type of eating helped my friend realize that he has issues with psychological behavior.
Yep - there's all sorts of trade offs, and just because one company doesn't do the ones you'd like in that case, doesn't necessarily make them evil.

Around here, the cheapest milk by far is a gas station - which is obviously doing it intentionally to anchor them as "the place to get milk on the way home". Other items are way higher priced than a grocery store, and their goal there is to "have it when you want it".
Straight up - because domestic players operate with government interferance. Which comes with onerous moderation overheads and compliance costs. Why should western platforms have competitive advantage of... not?

Like this is simple as hell. Why should western platforms not follow onerous PRC compliance that PRC companies have to follow?

Bytedance operates with respect to US law. If US wants reciprical PRC arrangement, like US platforms operate in PRC, they can legislate to force Bytedance to have local proxy like Oracle, or divest. The former fell apart. TikTok move to silo US data out of PRC... but still accused of retaining access. As if Microsoft in PRC is completely siloed. Regardless, until then, Bytedance is going to abuse the full extent of US law, including 1st amendment challenges. Then it's on Bytedance to comply or withdrawl. They'll likely do the latter and PRC retaliation will be calibrated on whether TikTok is just gone from US or world via app store bans.
Well, clearly it was someone else's property first, and what *they* decided they want to do with *their* property is to parcel it out and sell to newcomers, but with some strings attached such as: no opening businesses, no building too close to the subdivided property line, no noise after 9pm, no fixing own electrical, ... :-)
You keep making up numbers and changing your argument. Other people have studied this in detail, whereas you have some back-of-the-napkin thoughts.
I browsed the documentation and saw no references to provisioning database compute/memory resources. Is the persistence serverless, autoscaling, and scale to zero?
Why should I weigh the benefits of time spent on something that I enjoy doing? That would make it unenjoyable.
That's not clear. Does the First Amendment protect non-U.S. persons' right to speak and publish?
I don't think I missed the thread. Crating home prices is basically recreating half of the 20008 financial crisis when people are underwater and unable to move, nor have any financial flexibility. Giving homeless people a program to help them out of homelessness and into some form of housing can be good, but jumping them up to homeowners seems a giant leap. If you get them into a stable job and apartment, they aren't homeless anymore. If they're stable, they'll eventually qualify for a loan like everyone else.
Every time I see a giant timber framed apartment building being constructed I'm exceptionally glad that I don't have to consider living inside of it. It's fine for your early 30s, but if you hope to be part of the "professional class" then that form of living takes it's toll exceptionally quickly.
You would need to define what kind of complexity.

I would broadly break it into things that are complex to perform (crazy APMs or accuracy), things that are complex to understand (the stack or layers in MTG), and things that are complex to predict (e.g. time-delayed abilities and the correct time to use them, like Baptiste's lamp in Overwatch).

AI have basically constant performance across a performance complexity curve, because the complexity typically derives from physical interfaces the AI doesn't use anyways. E.g. their APM is not limited by how fast their fingers can physically move.

AIs do very poorly on tasks that are complex to understand. The best Magic: The Gathering AI's I've seen are awful (though also likely far less well-funded). Best-case scenario is basically an AI who makes plays that don't make any sense, but are at least valid plays. It's a crazy difficult problem. E.g. there are various ways to make infinite mana with combinations of cards, and the AI needs to a) realize that it can use those cards in order to create infinite mana, and b) that it can do this multiple times (I.e. it can pay for a spell that costs more mana the loop generates by going through the loop multiple times). That's very hard thing to do; human players somewhat frequently don't realize when they have loops.

Add on top of that that a game of Magic can enter a state where a loop of effects becomes recursive but doesn't result in either player winning. The game is a draw, because it cannot progress anymore. Detecting these can be non-trivial, because they might involve side effects that look like someone should win (I.e. you lose a life and I gain one, then I gain 2 life, then you deal 1 damage to me, then I gain 1 life, then you deal 2 damage to me. Life totals shift around, but net to 0 by the end of the loop).

I think the AI do well at complex prediction tasks as well, by nature of their response times and access to prior information. I would expect an AI to beat humans by a wider margin the more complex the prediction gets. Humans have finite time and thus experience; the AI is going to have more "experience", and be able to recall it at a faster rate.
Well put. Also, just to make it even harder, the "sweet spot" is probably very individual-specific.
That gives us an upper bound but the real answer could be anything between that and harmless.

So I mean "we don't know" as in "we don't have the complete answer".
What do people think of the forecasts on weather.com and of the Windy app?

I use both, a bit, but I don't know much about weather science, so can't evaluate, except by comparing it with the real, for which both do seem to be at least somewhat accurate.
>>Not a study, a review.

It's a meta-analysis of other trials.

>>Also doesn't claim what people like you says it claims.

By people like me, you mean people who believe in science? This is what it claims:

"Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness (ILI)/COVID‐19 like illness compared to not wearing masks (risk ratio (RR) 0.95, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.84 to 1.09; 9 trials, 276,917 participants; moderate‐certainty evidence. Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza/SARS‐CoV‐2 compared to not wearing masks (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.42; 6 trials, 13,919 participants; moderate‐certainty evidence)."

>>Also, look at the history. Date of the original review is 2007. You know what didn't exist in 2007?

It has been updated several times. The latest edition was published in January 2023. https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD...

Unfortunately this is not the case in North America. Very little land is zoned to allow such communities. Those areas that are have become so insanely expensive only the extremely wealthy can afford to live in them.
Why not an airship at this scale?
You need to tip the builder 20% of constructions costs in the US

(Just kidding, it's the fee for taking the waste to the tip)
Obviously, when did I suggest otherwise? The only difference is TikTok has more lawfare room due to 1st amendment shenanigans. Otherwise they'll be forced withdraw, no way PRC going to normalize US forcing PRC origin companies from divesting due to US pressure. The only other consideration is weighing benefits of banning TikTok vs cons for such behaviour spreading to other global jursidiction in the future against US platforms/interests.
What's wrong? The glorious right to investment profits? It's not even censorship.

The 1st amendment right to free speech is about US citizens. This isn't even a US corporation. No 1st amendment there so it looks legal. They probably wouldn't have done anything, if the manipulation and spying had been a bit less blatant. Even Telegram and Kaspersky still operate. This isn't even a WTO trade issue since almost every single tech or manufacturing company (except Tesla?) that wants to sell in China has to be a joint owned venture. It's classic mercantilism and there's no international obligation to buy stuff or allow it's import (see fentanyl). Even TikTok isn't allowed there, VPNs are not just banned, but considered tools of terrorism. Tit for tat is a thing, this has been coming for a decade (only slowed by corporate profits and cheap labor), and the slope isn't very slippery.

Still might not happen, if Kellyanne has anything to say to Trump about it.
I believe it's Eleven Labs API with the Stability setting turned down a little bit. It is definitely trained on human speech and when you use a somewhat lower setting than default, it will insert those types of natural imperfections or pauses and is very realistic.
> The solution is terrifyingly simple: don't allow existing residents to block new housing developments. If they don't like it, they can move.

The problem with new housing development is that only large corporate investors are allowed to develop. I am very NIMBY as it relates to building apartments next-door, because I am prohibited from building apartments on my lot.

I'm all for reducing land use restrictions, but it should be done in a neutral fashion that doesn't advantage those with the capital to hire real-estate lawyers.
Two reasons I haven't moved

The EFF is correct and brings to light the hypocrisy of fighting companies rather than specific harmful activities, because making those activities illegal will have a very large blast radius and will destroy a lot of "value" in American companies that partake in those very profitable activities.

I see it on HN too, people hate on soft targets like Facebook, but their stock options/RSUs/portfolios depend on the respective companies (or sales funnels) depend on the same problematic behaviors. That's how we get "Google ads are evil, but Apple ads are fine. They do the same things, but Apple means well." TikTok is the softest of targets as it's not even American.
I've known poor people (heck I have been - and compared to some here no doubt still are - poor people). The ones who are not dumb, end up being not poor eventually, even if not rich.
Part of me hopes this is true, that AGI (or even worse - ASI) will never be fully realized. Too disruptive.

A counter example to nuclear power or space travel is integrated circuits. This technology has transformed our society and we haven't reached the end of it yet.

Our own brains are living proof that intelligence is possible with lower power consumption. I watched a recent lecture by Geoffrey Hinton where he mentioned future AI hardware based on analog integrated circuits could reduce the power consumption by orders of magnitude [1].

It is possible that we will hit a wall and never achieve anything more than Chat GPT++++, but the smartest people in town mostly believe that we will create machines that exceed human intelligence and capability.

We have some understanding of how neural networks work under the hood. The scale of the current models are too vast to comprehend in their specific details, but I think we understand them in principle.

> The irony with your comment is that TikTok's masters in China already have the same power that SOPA was supposed to grant the US government

Yes, the power of democracy. People spoke up and prevented a harmful law from being passed - why is TikTok exercising that right, in the same way as Google and Facebook, a problem? It sounds like you want the US to become like the CCP instead of vice versa.
My best friend as a kid was blind and being a kid his acceptance of this used to bug the hell out of me. I often found myself in conversations trying to convince him he doesn't want to be blind.

But I remember asking him when we were teens and he me gave a really good answer about how he's learnt to interact with the world as a blind person so for him to be able to see it would a huge hinderance to him at this point – perhaps as much as me being blind.

He'd would need to read and write again. He would need to learn how to use a computer again. He might not like how his girlfriend looks. He would need reorganise his life and activities around the fact he can now see. Would he still be interested in doing the same things if he could see? Might he want to play video games instead of piano in his spare time if he could?

I think in a lot of cases it's not even just not knowing what you're missing, but it's also not worth hassle. If you're content as is then why change things?
> A nearly-there yet incomplete solution to a Github issue is still valuable to an engineer who knows how to debug it.

Not sure if I can agree. There would definitely be a value in looking at what libraries the solution uses, but otherwise it may be easier to write it oneself, especially when the mistakes are not humanlike.
How do you compare to devenv and devbox? Why would I choose Flox over any of them?
It's 215 x 215 mm so it fits in a large laptop, some 15" and definitely 17" ones. The keyboard could get a little warm and battery life doesn't look good.
This chip does not outperform NVIDIA on key metrics. Economics of scale are unfavorable. Software is exotic.

>> Everyone has their own bar, restaurant, theatre, and community center.

As opposed to all the "urban lifestyle" people who readily offload their basic needs onto others. Some people are happy cooking their own basic foods. Others want them to be prepared, and their dished cleaned, by a team. Some people are happy with a beer fridge. Others want to go to a bar and pay a young person to smile and flirt while concocting a fancy drink in a silly glass. To each their own. But having a basic kitchen in an apartment is not a luxury any more than having a cupboard for cleaning supplies, a service that can also be outsourced by those too lazy to clean up after themselves. A desire for a modicum of self-sufficiency is not a vice.
My personal "how-to-quit-it" challenge was Windows 8. I tried to approach it from the perspective of someone who has previously used Windows but is not a power user knowing shortcuts like Alt + F4 or Ctrl + Alt + Del. In the first Windows 8 versions, it was not obvious at all how to turn off the computer. The classic start menu was gone. The start menu button had no context menu, as far as I can remember. There was no obvious button in the "new" full-screen start menu. I tried quite a few places, I think in the end it took me close to ten minutes to figure out that I had to click on the user profile picture in the new start menu to reach the shutdown option, or something like that. It really was all but obvious. In later updates they improved it a bit.
Between tenants should be considered vacant, when you consider that landlords have been colluding to restrict supply and drive up rents
It's a well know fact that the reason chinese TikTok is an educational app is because the chinese government told them to do it. Just like they stopped chinese gamers from gaming for more than X hours in the day. You either don't know what you are talking about or you are willfully ignoring the facts. If the average chinese teenage boy was left to the hands of an "unbiased" TikTok algo, I bet the farm he would be seeing K-Pop idols and chinese fit influencers all day. Same for the girls, teenagers everywhere (in the sense of the average teenager) can't resist the crack cocaine temptations of an unlimited algo.
It's not an absolute statement, you'd have to have a childish interpretation of the article to have that takeaway. Not every generalization needs a "well actually".
After having gotten familiar with Plan 9, I would have thought this at the time too, because it's a better system for the modern world in every single way imaginable than any Unix ever will be. Unfortunately, he did not account for the fact that adoption isn't based on rational processes. The market is not a meritocracy.

Maybe if Plan 9 was released as FOSS in the 90s and somebody made an aggressive push to give it gas in some hacker circles, history would have taken a different path. But that didn't happen and so we live in a broken future. At least 9front is usable for a daily driver these days, I suppose.

> If Google allowed you to search by saying "Find me a coloring book image where a dad is sitting behind 2 kids with his arms around them, and the daughter is on the left and the son is on the right" then we'd end up with results almost as good.

I've been using Stable Diffusion, and more recently Bing (app) and now GPT-4/Dall-E 3 (ChatGPT app) for that very purpose, with quite good success rate. It's perfect for when my daughter randomly asks me for a coloring page with a dancing vacuum cleaner or such. Dall-E is quite good at this, all you need to do is tack "in the style of a children coloring book" or such to the end of your prompt.
> it's the construction industry.

Any industry that warranties it's work. They're far less likely to take on new and disruptive technologies if there's no guarantee they're going to be supported for the necessary amount of time.

> we should be finding ways to build with 1/2 the amount of wood we currently use.

Different houses have different requirements. Some roofs see snow, others don't. Some roofs see hurricane winds, others don't.
I worry that this is incomplete information.

For example, the Wikipedia article linked shows tallies totaling <10k recorded abortions from Chernobyl in neighboring nations. This would mean that nearly all of them would have had to occur in Belarus and Ukraine, which did not report numbers. Where did the 150000 figure come from, in that case? (I'm not the only one to raise this question, see the references for that figure.)

Similarly, while there seems to be no evidence of a long-term increase in birth defects, we do not have data on the number of miscarriages at the time, which would surely be a factor when deciding on an abortion. Same with Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Finally, Chernobyl does show measurable increases in thyroid cancer, even though mortality is low. Hiroshima and Nagasaki show excess leukemia deaths too.

Of course not. He said "foreign countries". The propaganda outlets at home are harmless.
That's democracy for you. The government is the solution to all ills, if enough people want a rule then the rule becomes real. Parents are the government in a democracy.

I'm partial to a republic, a set of difficult to change rules that protect us against mass hysteria and tyrrany of the majority, subjecting us all to the will of the majority in potentially every fascet of our lives is a recipe for disaster. There are some things that are nobody's business but mine, restricting the scope of the civic process is an absolute necessity IMO.

Which government? Your block? street? school district? Transit district? region? state? country? Even then, a country that needs immigrants to operate?

Even then in a town here, most of the electrorate is renters, but most people who actually vote are homeowners.

And a public library district found it better to "protect themselves" with a card fee for non-residents rather than open access to all state residents (like nearly all other public libraries around them, and like the state financially encourages.)

So yes, it makes sense for the voters to have only so much power and influence. Sometimes it would be nice if someone in that pile concerned themselves with a longer term vision than "my lawn, right now". And that doesn't mean their political hobby either.
The current crop of ultrabillionaires may lack many things but I don't think backbone is on the list. They are as ruthless as any robber baron or industrialist of old. They can buy, sell, and eliminate people and governments as they see fit. Good luck getting close enough to take actual or metaphorical aim.

Critiques:

1. "AI generated content": Is it generated by LLMs if LLMs were used in any way? e.g., getting ideas? If you use a single word? Sentence? Paragraph? If a person has edited things down?

2. "Prevent it from generating illegal content": It is illegal to libel. An autocorrect can generate libel.

3. "summaries of copyrighted data": and if it used GPT4 as the evaluator?
