While I agree with your sentiment, after re-reading the post and looking at some of the blog posts, I think you missed a major point, that being:

1. You can't leak what you don't have.

That is, even if the company gets bought out or is hacked, if they don't have the data, there is nothing to leak. This point is also at least partially enforced by another point from the post:

2. Advanced app users can audit their network traffic from the app

Now, granted, I wouldn't expect many users to do this, but highlighting it at least serves as a warning that it should be harder for the app to surreptitiously change what is sent to the server (and to emphasize, I know this can be worked/hacked around, but I don't think working around this could ever be done with plausible deniability).

Given the fact that companies and products jettison their high-minded policies as soon as it becomes economically inconvenient, the only other thing I'd recommend for the author is to have a good, simple export tool, e.g. something that dumps all the "memories" to a directory or PDF file. The post talks about backup and restore, but if I were a potential user I'd like to know that if the company does kick their privacy policy to the curb at some point that I could get all of the investment and data out of the app without needing to continue to rely on the app for at least the base data I put into it.
Apples to oranges. Gate count indicates nothing when the architectures are nothing alike.

Brain is a spiking network with mutable connectivity, mostly asynchronous. Only the active path is spending energy at a single moment in time, and "compute" is tightly coupled with memory to the point of being indistinguishable. No need to move data anywhere.

In contrast, GPUs/TPUs are clocked and run fully connected networks, they have to iterate over humongous data arrays every time. Memory is decoupled from compute due to the semiconductor process differences between the two. As a result, they waste a huge amount of energy just moving data back and forth.

Fundamental advancements in SNNs are also required, it's not just about the transistors.

I’m 27. Just to give it a reference frame.

My company failed. Worked on it 6 years and ended in a burnout. Thing is I can say I tried. And now I have another few years (like atleast 40 I hope^^) to do something else. Failing early isn’t the Ende. You did atleast try if you fail.

There was a recent discussion right here on HN about "trading trust": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39394990

Basically, many of these companies took decades to reach these positions where they're trusted. A bunch of managers rightfully figured out this was an asset that could be easily traded away for increased profits and they'd be gone by the time anyone noticed the devastation they left behind.
#2 is false on its face. Conservative policies like abolishing gay marriage and regressive welfare reform - as well as the policies that result in outcomes like a disproportionate amount of men of color being sent to prison or having to take jobs far away from their families or being unable to afford marriage or a house - clearly predicate a large portion of the broken or malformed or unformed families that exist in the US. Left-leaning policies are not immaculate, but they don't carry the unspoken mandate of caring only about the stability of white, affluent, straight couples - which is a problem in a country where much of the population is some combination of not-white, queer, and working class, AND where many women (and men!) would desire the option to destabilize their dysfunctional marriages, if need be.
They should shove it waaaaay up their butthole.
>>My buying of them didn't give Google any money, either.

really? how can that be true?
Obviously, IANAL

In a sense, that gradation is present for other offenses. You kill a man by accident? It may end up being involuntary manslaughter. You kill that same man with malice and planning? It charge will move to aggravated and premeditated murder.

At the end of the day, a life was taken and some level of judicial review should take place. That does not appear to happen for 'hack' events.

IMO 10 years in prison should be more than enough to discourage SBF from repeating it. And if it is not enough, then 30 years won't be enough either...

You absolutely can buy AEDs for home use, and if you're high-risk it might even be a good idea.

The only reason it's not recommended more widely is cost (they also need regular maintenance) and likelihood of actually needing it making it a poor medical value for the general population.

(This is also predicated on having people around who are trained to use the AED. If you life alone or your family/roommates don't know how how to use it, it's useless.)
Hey, sorry about that. It’s actually supposed to take you to the landing page. It works on the desktop but for mobile devices it’s throwing up that signup modal. I’ll fix that soon. Thanks for pointing that out. Clicking on “home” will close out the login screen and take you to the landing page.
It is both, because it all comes back to the government's expenditures in the form of public welfare. People who become destitute because they don't know basic fiscal know-how are useless and significant loads to society and therefore the government, so there is vested public interest to teach.

Catch and punish fraudsters, and teach the commons that investments and savings are two very different things and how they should be conducted. Both can be done with no negative impact to the other.
which one would make you more angry: 1) being mugged in full daylight in an area with low crime rate (maybe near where you live) 2) being mugged walking in a dark alley somewhere in the "bad" part of the town?

How about if you chose going to 2) knowing very well that muggings are a real possibility and you should probably not go there?
In this case, it’s somewhat more fair: everyone involved was trying to find much higher returns than they could get in regulated financial markets so while it’s sad that they were defrauded it’s also part of the risk they voluntarily took on by using cryptocurrency.
TL;DR, Tesla / Musk was successful because they moved to Shanghai. China enabled Tesla to build cars that did not fall apart and that could make a profit. And also, Musk convinced the officials to go green. Interestingly, something called the 'catfish effect': by doing so, he transformed the Chinese car industry to a monster that is about to take over the world.

I might paraphrase here a bit, but this article gives a really nice insight how smart Musk entered that market without becoming yet another Musk cheering monkey story.
> At it's core is a distributed world computer but all anyone knows about is money.exe because this stuff is immensely complex.

Alternatively, because the only way to use the aforementioned distributed world computer is to engage with money.exe and buy more CoinTokens. Imagine all the kids out there who will be delighted to learn a pay-per-use code interpreter. "Hey mom, I need your credit card to cover the gas while I debug my smart contract."

But assuming you have the money to spend, it's a whole universe of possibilities! Just make sure to cash in before actually trying to use any of them.
Not answering your question directly, but curious why you want to take on the significant endeavour to hack up something like this, when you can just buy e.g. a pair of Ubiquiti airFiber 5 and get 1 Gbps with >100km range?

You really don't think 'fairness' is essential in law and govenrment and society. It's pretty fundamental to humanity.

The fact that it's not achieved in some ways makes it more important that it's delivered in others, and for us to stand up for it.
Nah - doesn't work like that. I had about $20k deposited as USDT and will probably get it back from the receivers. It's rough on people who had bitcoin with FTX though who will only get what it was worth back then ~17k, rather than what it goes for now.

Does quality matter as much for X as it does for Boeing? A closer example to Boeing is Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla is a mixed bag of good and bad stuff. But SpaceX is a marvel and essentially has no competitors.

Compare X to media. Since the bridge collapse in the Baltimore I have read interesting analysis on X and reddit, not the best medium, but yet did not come across a single decent article about it in the media.
> rather spend 5 hours improving performance by 10% than doing sales that would actually bring in money...

And often that's a false dichotomy.

> You realize Le Miz is fictional, right?

Do you think no one irl ever stole bread to feed their family only to be extremely punished? ...

> No one needs to steal to eat, some people choose to steal rather than earn.

You're wrong. You're a hundred kinds of wrong. That mindset is a deep, deep sickness.

> Stealing is immoral regardless of the circumstance

If the choice is between stealing and starvation, the moral thing to do is steal. Which is, in fact, the scenario we are talking about.

Not everyone can earn - and in a society where wages have become untethered from productivity for over 50 fucking years, where the social contract is broken and ground into dust, where healthcare and housing are seen as privileges rather than rights, you might start to expect getting pushback on such untethered and inhuman views.

> don’t take your moral philosophy from Disney movies and broadway.

Better than taking it from literal comicbook villains.
This happened to me yesterday:

I had to complete a resiliency test on our infrastructure and submit it to auditors for compliance reasons. I ran the tests, got the results, and I have to put it into a report. The report is like 30 pages long or more, but very little changes between each test (we do them quarterly). So I only usually change a few tables with the new report results, and freeflow some commentary in the discussion section that is unique for that run, so that the auditor feels special.

Anyway, I open up the previous quarter's report. I edit a bunch of data, write a bunch of useless commentary and go to "Save As" with the Q1-2024 suffix, and I realize the Word document had been autosaving my work the whole time on top of the Q4-2023 report. Urgh, very annoying. I didn't save intentionally because I knew I would save a copy later.

I was able to restore the old version through revision history, but still annoying nonetheless.
yes the spelling is different.

Wait, this isn't reddit.
I sometimes feel that way as well, feel misunderstood and hence people become sad or upset.

I think it is not really emotional intelligence that you need or should be looking for. It feels like the problem/solution is more, how to connect more deeply with people. For that to happen, you need to communicate a lot (especially active listening) and feel/show empathy. Once there is this deeper connection, people trust you more and will be more open to explain their feelings.

Easier said than done but practice makes (almost) perfect.
The repo owner has closed that one too, and said they'll next communicate via email.

Which co-incidentally isn't something that's viewable by the public.

... except if the email happens to be published somehow. :)
It is strange that a person would receive a fine for receiving a letter with a "counterfeit" stamp. That would make for a very nasty revenge operation - send your worst enemy letters with counterfeit stamps to cause them to incur a five pound fine.
There have been people on HN arguing that the human brain is a biological LLM, because they can't think of any other way it could work, as if we evolved to generate the next token, instead of fitness as organisms in the real world. Where things like eating, sleeping, shelter, avoiding danger, social bonds, reproduction and child rearing are important. Things that require a body.

I agree that the likely future of this is that everyone gets their own "reality". After all, whats the harm in letting a little girl from harlem believe someone like her could have been a medieval european monarch? It's beneficial to make people feel good about themselves and history is just dead people right?

I think this argument actually resonates with a lot of people--if the truth makes people feel bad or excluded or marginalized, why not just change the truth? You see it in lots of almost trivial ways nowadays, things so small that it feels ridiculous to even mention. Some examples: Half the medieval warriors that come with a castle lego set nowadays are female. Viking legos too. And remember when they were trying to tell us Abraham Lincoln was gay?

I think some debate techniques might help.

A lot of guides break down into steps about where the opponent is coming from, why they are saying it. It also leads one into anticipating your opponents next move and knowing who your audience is.

This can help you understand why they may respond a certain way.

Make sure what you are saying adds value and doesn’t just make noise.

It's hard to say. Historically federal convictions were very strict, requiring you to serve at least 85% of your sentence. The First Step Act passed in 2018 significantly relaxed that down to 50% for non-violent crimes[1]. I don't know if there is enough data yet to determine how common or easy it will be for convicts get their sentenced reduced by that much.

I said "stealing to eat". Because the claim was "stealing is never moral and is just as bad no matter the amount".

You heard "point a weapon at a stranger and demand the contents of his pockets".

And, since this seems to be really confusing to a lot of people here for some reason, stealing tens/hundreds of millions of dollars from people is in fact unambiguously worse than mugging someone for their wallet. It's far more violent, and causes far more suffering.
You say it like "anxiety" and "stress" are synonymous to suicidal. I am a pretty anxious person, and sometimes have a lot of stress at work, and experienced burnout in the past too. That doesn't mean I am about to shoot myself in a motel parking lot - or anywhere else, for that matter. This binary view of mental health - either a person is "healthy" which means 100% perfect, or he's not - and then anything can be expected, including a suicide at any arbitrary time - is nonsense. It's completely legit to ask how comes the person who wasn't suicidal, and actually told people that he's not - suddenly turns to commit suicide in the middle of court testimony, without any warning signs or explanation. Saying "oh, he was anxious and stressed about work" is not a good explanation to this. Maybe there was an explanation, maybe there wasn't, but pretending "anxiety" explains it is nonsense.

Sure:

What we do know: this was an AR21 case. It was him suing boeing for forcing him to retire early and not promoting him because he was "whistle blowing". This is a case that had already been dismissed once.

On the matter of that, the FAA already got his reports and agreed with him. The harm to Boeing from his wistle blowing was finished. They were probably paying more for lawyers to fight this than it was going to cost to settle. So this wasnt about Boeing loosing anything other than cash at this point. If we're going to speculate we should be asking if Boeing was fighting this out of spite rather than making a good business decision.

The family themselves have spoken up: that he was troubled, and they firmly blame Boeing for his death. The way they are going about it says "we know he killed himself" ... they just think Boeing drove him to do it. They are coy with the conspiracy theory angle cause it just make boeing look bad...

There is a really interesting narrative here about stress, mental heath, and suicide for gun owners. Topics that the press wants to touch less than the ones your suggesting they ignore....

2050 is still a long way. It'd be slightly below 16% per year (considering the house was bought in 2024, it might've been bought earlier).

That sounds on the unlikely side, but definitely not in the "isn't going to happen" territory!

Responding to point 1, it is interesting that this is diametrically opposed to recent rulings by SCOTUS which have ruled that government agencies (EPA for example) cannot act without specific supporting legislation.
Thank you for responding here. I'm always grateful when my family shows up to discuss these things.

"The journal Nature highlighted the scope of the issue in 2016 with a poll of 1,500 scientists. 70% of respondents reported that they had failed to reproduce the results of at least one of their peer’s studies. 87% of chemists, 69% of physicists and engineers, 77% of biologists, 64% of environmental and earth scientists, 67% of medical researchers, and 62% of all other respondents reported this issue. 50% had failed to reproduce one of their own experiments."

"A 2021 study found that papers with reproducible results tend to be cited less than papers with findings that cannot be replicated in leading journals."

Pretty damning. It's not bad enough to toss out science or treat it all the same. It does justify high skepticism for new, scientific claims until peer review gets to a point where quotes like above are impossible. That is, the ordinary reviews are actually peer review.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

"Genesis is about our relationship with God."

It is. There's evidence for both the six day and older model. I went from older model, six day model, and purely poetic. I went with six day on basis of the text itself. If we're wrong, we'll be still be fine because it won't change anything. That said, I did ask the Spirit for a message that harmonizes how six day vs appearance of the Earth fit together. Here it is for bretheren to test as required in 1 Corinthians.

So, let's say a human creator wants to tell a story, like a movie or game. Their design a set with a universe, its laws, a history, characters, and so on. The universe might be billions of years old. The characters might be 80. Do most, content creators try to slowly evolve all that over billions of years by limiting themselves to the mechanics in their imagined universes? Or do they rapidly produce their creation (the set) using their own power (eg tech), start at moments in the story they feel are important, and then move the story along mostly with in-universe laws?

Now getting more empirical, surveying all human creations shows that most human creators rapidly create their universes. They also usually focus the audience on what the creator thinks is most important. We would predict a divine, intelligent designer might do that. God's Word says we do it because we're made in the image of He who did it first. That's six-day creation. From there, God might use any combination of in-universe or supernatural methods to advance creation in the way His story requires. That's my creation theory.

Like you said, that we're knitted in the womb to be characters in God's story is very powerful. By Genesis 3, we know that we have a personal God, objective morality exists, a basic design for human life, why the world stays evil, the love of God greater than anything people have, and hope for our future. It's all very encouraging.

(Note: I could talk with you more in email about the Genesis interpretations and such things. My email is in my profile. I'm trying to keep on clearest points here as you were.)
