Thanks for the context, it's important. But from the link you posted:

> In order for you to write a message to a Facebook friend from within Spotify, for instance, we needed to give Spotify “write access.” For you to be able to read messages back, we needed Spotify to have “read access.” “Delete access” meant that if you deleted a message from within Spotify, it would also delete from Facebook. No third party was reading your private messages, or writing messages to your friends without your permission.

So here Facebook acknowledges that an app that sends messages needs write permission, not read. I would assume that sending a recommendation is a write only thing, especially with something private as direct messages. And it is pretty well understand pattern. When you share something through iMessages, Signal or WhatsApp from the a different app, the app does not get an access to you chat history.

The allegation that Arstechnica are pretty sever:

> By 2013, Netflix had begun entering into a series of “Facebook Extended API” agreements, including a so-called “Inbox API” agreement that allowed Netflix programmatic access to Facebook’s users' private message inboxes

Strange naming "Inbox" for sharing API.

> in exchange for which Netflix would “provide to FB a written report every two weeks that shows daily counts of recommendation sends and recipient clicks by interface, initiation surface, and/or implementation variant (e.g., Facebook vs. non-Facebook recommendation recipients).

This is something that Netflix could do even without special access to the messages, since links originate from them. But so could Facebook, since they see the traffic in messages and can identify referral links. Looks like Titan API, whatever it is, gave even more access?

NYTimes article from 2018 [1] has more details, but it is still unclear if user consent was explicitly obtained for Netflix to read messages. But an interesting quote from Steve Satterfield, Facebook’s director of privacy and public policy:

> With most of the partnerships, Mr. Satterfield said, the F.T.C. agreement did not require the social network to secure users’ consent before sharing data because Facebook considered the partners extensions of itself — service providers that allowed users to interact with their Facebook friends.

A rather conspicuous statement by someone who have properly collected consent from users.

I both think this is a really astute and important observation and also think it's an observation that's more true locally than of people broadly. Modern neoliberal business culture generally and the consolidated current incarnation of the tech industry in particular have strong "tunnel vision" and belief in chasing optimality compared to many other cultures, both extant and past
For those looking to dig into the process management going into Tesla vs other automakers the CEO and President of their partner Caresoft both did a podcast with dyed in the wool Detroit Autoline Network and they are deeply impressed. https://www.youtube.com/live/xOg1-r5-wqY?si=f_-fqlSuEhRzlTHV
His hair plugs are actually really good. Whoever did that one would put them in his before and after catalogue even if Elon wasn’t famous.
It wasn’t clear to me until I read their blog, that redis will remain free to use in their “community edition”, which will continue to be supported and maintained (and improved!)

So we as developers don’t have to scramble to replace redis in our SAAS apps and web based software.

This is more about preventing AWS from eating their lunch by providing redis-as-a-service, without paying any sort of compensation to the redis developers.

The question I got was surprisingly simple: it asked to find "the least real root of the polynomial p(x) = (x+5)(x-4)(x+1)". A determined attacker can quickly hack together something with Tesseract and feed it into even GPT-3.5 to get the correct answer to questions like these.

I guess that means the captcha is doing its job, since running LLMs isn't very cheap or scalable. But any harder problem means you start filtering a significant chunk of human users. Based on the other replies to your comment, it seems that the questions at their current difficulty already stop a lot of human users, yet allow a determined attacker with the setup I described pass through easily.

In the title, the graviton is not a graviton and the liquid is not a (normal) liquid.

[It's not my area, so I may have some errors in my description. Please compare with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_quantum_Hall_effect ]

The idea is that you vave two semiconductors, and you look at the electrons in the surface between them. If you choose them correctly, the electrons in the surface act very weird. In particular when there is a magnetic field (perpendicular?) to the surface.

The electrons act someone like a liquid. But it's a 2D liquid inside a solid block made of semiconductors, you can't pour it into a glass. I'm not sure why they call it a liquid but in other cases it's common to imagine that the electrons are a gas, so perhaps beeing traped in the correct semiconductors make the more behave as if they were sticky.

Now you consider the exitations of the liquid, imagine that they are like litle swirls that are stable enough to treat them as a fake particle or quasi-particle. (It's like a hurricane in real life that is a lot of clouds, but it's stable enough to get a name. I'm not sure this analogy is 100% accurate, but I hope so.)

In some cases, this small quasi-particles have properties like the graviton.

> Such modes are condensed-matter analogues of gravitons that are hypothetical spin-2 bosons.

They are not measuring gravitons, they are measuring something that has some similar properties. It's like a analogic simulation.

The thecnical terms are correct in the reseach area, but outside the research area are very confusing and misleading. (I'm not blaming them, becuse they are publishing it in Nature that is for experts. But I had to remember a few courses, talks and read wikipedia, just to make this explanation that I'm not sure is 100% accurate.)
I specified that the perp is both facing me and in my home (as opposed to my possibly 1000 acre lot - I wish). This scenario is legitimate self defense in all 50 states (unlike some states in Europe)
This is literally the first time in my life I've heard of Facebook Watch.
Climate depression is understandable and I'm not sure what's going on with the replies - is HN a hub for climate change denialism now?

Human-caused climate change is as much an established fact as is possible in this field. Alternative "theories" are as much as an established non-fact as is possible in this field. Here are 428 references on the subject which will need to be disputed in order to change that fact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change#References (not actually 428 because there's multiple references to the same paper but in different locations, etc. You get my point.)

Despite actions like UK declaring a climate emergency, the Paris Agreement, etc, it's not clear to me that the world is going to take the actions necessary to prevent massive climate-change related disasters. When those disasters take root and trigger refugee crises the likes of which human society has never encountered, any green-energy and green-material initiatives are probably out the door as nations turn to the cheapest, fastest, shortest-term energy and materials solutions possible to either handle the influx of refugees or the war materials needed to turn them away.

What are you seeing that makes you think this won't be the case? Are you seeing improvements in green technology and believe those will be deployed quickly enough to curtail climate change? I'm skeptical: we had a huge reduction in emissions lain at our doorstep by COVID and for many industries work continued unabated as we did our jobs from home, but irrational established mentalities are forcing emissions back up by making people come into the office at threat of firing. If green energy, green materials, or sustainable practices offend established sensibilities in the same way, why would they take root?
Well, it's talked about lenghtly in the article.
Study Confirms Climate Models are Getting Future Warming Projections Right

The team compared 17 increasingly sophisticated model projections of global average temperature developed between 1970 and 2007, including some originally developed by NASA, with actual changes in global temperature observed through the end of 2017.

Hey!
Happy to chat over email/X more closely and help you out.

Nomic Atlas automatically generates the labels here. There could be different variations of posts involving the Python Packages.

But I did some manual digging & here's what I found;
Heading over to the map and filtering by posts around "Python Packages" leads to around 900 posts.

Sharing a few examples which do talk about people's posts related to the python package:

- https://community.openai.com/p/701058
- https://community.openai.com/p/652075
- https://community.openai.com/t/32442
- https://community.openai.com/p/143928

Note: My intuition is that most of the posts are very basic, probably user errors like "No API Key Found" etc.
hence origination - bad data can be fixed. try calling 30 different vendors and rely on downloading the file to run the M2M night-cycle
Not really Doom, a few years old, and now broken apparently. IIRC it was basically just a mouse only shooting gallery mini-game.

EDIT: Not broken, just not obvious one must click the sound options to start. Still just a mouse gallery mini-game. Doubtful you'd even need AI to solve it.
Yeah, I'm a bit jaded here. You're right that they made a ton of money, but left a lot of great work to fester, even in laser printing. My perspective comes working in Xerox engineering on high volume printers in the early 1990s. PARC folks repeatedly came through with great ideas about how to make the printers faster and cheaper (at the same time).

My favorite demo they gave us was replacing the PDP-11 inside the printer, which was becoming increasingly expensive, with a Sun SPARCstation. They had done all the work to do a full demo on the prototype printer we were working on. Everything was much faster and it provided a lot more features. Plus development printer software could be developed in C or other languages, not just assembly. They were effectively told "that looks nice" and sent back to Palo Alto. That was hard to watch.

>The motives of moderators seem pretty bad to me.

Calling Reddit mods "retards" is a disservice to the mentally handicapped. They are, in the aggregate, in no way a benefit to the site or to human civilization. Anyone who has actually used the site for any length of time, and ever ventures out of the likes of /r/politics and /r/worldnews, knows this.

None of this takes away from the fact that Reddit is, in the aggregate, (as others have said) the single largest collection of discussions on Earth. Bigger than 50 years of every mailserv combined, 45 years of Usenet, 20 years of Facebook comments, or 15 years of Stack Exchange. Expecting Lemmy or Mastadon to supplant it is futile.
The problem here is that this isn't putting food on the table for the people who actually built the software.

It's a company surprising everyone by pocketing the money from other people's hard, unpaid work.
> they just tend to make money flow in a more direct way from a group of people using a service to a group of people hosting/providing

I suppose there is a certain sense that transaction fees go to people providing services to the blockchain... but i would mostly describe it as paying rent and not actually paying the person responsible for the service.
I live in South Texas and the last summer was the most brutal one I have ever experienced. I've never seen so many trees die and it was indeed quite depressing. I keep bees and worried about them as well, but do supply them with water and that seemed to get them through. I didn't need to listen any propaganda, I simply had to go outside and feel how hot it was or see all the death that drought brought.
We're definitely going to explore this further, and have begun some discussions with the community to try and shape what this will look like for Mojo; see https://github.com/modularml/mojo/discussions/1785 for more details.

The discussion there is centered on a project manifest and build tool, and work is underway. Some of our guiding principles are to write this tooling in Mojo, as open source software, and to be focused on integration with existing build systems and ecosystems.

Of course, once we're able to define a Mojo project, and have a principled method of building all Mojo projects in the known universe, the natural next step would be to build out a packaging ecosystem. Again, we're interested in playing well with others, so while it's still early days, I think we'll want to have a well-thought-out interface with PyPI.

As for web requests: try searching GitHub for Mojo projects that may suit your needs: https://github.com/search?q=language%3Amojo+http&type=reposi... -- and by the way, we're also very proud that Mojo has become popular enough on GitHub that it can be searched like this, and its source code is syntax highlighted. If you don't see any Mojo packages on there that you like, try writing one yourself and letting us know on our Discord! Although we don't (yet!) have a build tool, you can clone a Mojo package from GitHub and import it into your project manually, so sharing code is possible -- we're working to make it not just possible, but downright awesome!
It's important to note that Dataminr has unrestricted access to public tweets, whereas IIRC, scrapers are banned, and that in contradiction to the griping about "government surveillance", Dataminr pays for privileged access to X through the company’s “firehose”, and Dataminr's sole purpose is to aid law enforcement.

From The Intercept:

“Dataminr has a unique contractual relationship with Twitter, whereby we have real-time access to the full stream of all publicly available Tweets,” a representative of the surveillance company wrote to the Secret Service in a July 2023 message about the terms of the law enforcement agency’s surveillance subscription. “In addition all of Dataminr’s public sector customers today have agreed to these terms including dozens who are responsible for law enforcement whether at the local, state or federal level.” (The terms are not mentioned in the emails.)

According to an email from the Secret Service in the same thread, the agency’s interest in Dataminr was unambiguous: “The whole point of this contract is to use the information for law enforcement purposes.”

Privacy advocates told The Intercept that X’s Musk-era warnings of government surveillance abuses are contradictory to the company’s continued sale of user data for the purpose of government surveillance. (Neither X nor Dataminr responded to a request for comment.)
No you see, at any moment this company can get acquired and can start pushing malware as updates. It's quite an elementary mistake to not account for this possibility, and the author of this post should hang their head in shame for even pretending to have a solution. /s
DuckDB is awesome. As an OLAP columnar-store database it excels at certain operations, like aggregations. If your use-case is row-based lookups where an OLTP database would perform better, you now get a choice of engine, while still having a single place to access your data from your app.

Originally, we only supported DuckDB in our cloud product Spice Firecache, but actually lost a customer because their use-case was optimized for an OLTP DB. Now, you can get a choice... down to the dataset level and still be able to join across them in a single query. With Spice, you can load both SQLite and DuckDB together in the same process for local materialization and acceleration.

Finally, Spice OSS does more than just data query. You can read about the vision to power AI-driven applications by co-locating data with models at https://docs.spiceai.org/intelligent-applications.

"won't buy any electronics that can't just charge USB-C without bs.."

I don't think that leaves too any ham radio to buy then?
That's just $10b a year for 15 years, fairly conservative I'd say.

I expect a GPT-5 training cluster to cost $10b (Say 100k blackwell chips + associated infrastructure), and a GPT-6 capable cluster to cost $100b.

It sounds like a lot, but its just a typical mega-infrastructure funding. The Californian high speed rail is also around $100b for example, and Microsoft has $90b in cash reserves.

The gulf states are also dogpiling in AI, because they finally see a true viable alternative to oil: renting out GPU clusters. Just swapping to renewables is not enough, as their economies is predicated on having a huge, simple, defendable profit source that is exportable. Now they can redeploy the spare oil money to a use case, that has predictable demand, extremely capital intensive, and far more productive than building new cities in the desert.

The world in the end built $trillions in value of power stations and roads. I expect the same for data centers, having entire farms being replaced by humming GPU racks. But that will take many decades.
> I've heard a (credible) stat that there's more Mercedes-Benzes sold in California alone than in the entirety of Germany

This is probably not far from true for Porsche too today, honestly. The Porsche Macan/Cayenne are increasingly mass-selling mass-produced mainstream luxury family car products much like BMW/Mercedes used to dominate in 90s/2000s, and they sell really, really well.

We've reached the stage sadly Porsche is an SUV company that happens to sell some sports cars.

2023 North American sales: 86,059

2023 German sales: 32,430

A very large chunk of that 86k will have been CA.

Synapses are very analog, but then the neuronal soma (cell body) and axon are pretty pulsatile again. A spike is fired or it isn't!
Any sources for those claims?

Shouldn't it reduce labor costs when you have just one part instead of hundreds?
thats the point. they dont want GPUs, they want AIPUs
It is end to end encrypted but facebook controls both ends so... ?
Which is what people want.
1. Not enough data? Petabytes of data. There is so much data that it is a specialization to handle the data.

2. We can't study open systems? Really. There are a lot of engineers might be wondering why they bothered studying doing it, if it can't be done.

3. Nothing matters that can't be an experiment? So all of Biology and Astronomy, anything with observations but no experiments, all worthless?

In life, some models have a few well defined variables, and some models have millions and are pretty fuzzy. To say one branch of science is a joke, because in your world, things are nice and pretty, is what is wrong.
It's mentioned in the first paragraph of the article, and "KeyDB" is featured 14 more times throughout the rest of it.

You're putting this up there with IBM in the holocaust?
> It must be terrifying if you're a galactic entity and have experience, awareness, and consciousness, but no autonomy w.r.t. movement, trapped in a trillion-year path that you cannot escape.

Surely such an entity would not see itself being trapped at all, any more than a tree does. It is what it is.

On the contrary, it probably pities humans, asteroids, comets, moons, planets, and everything and anything else that is smaller, younger, with a shorter lifespan, or less energetic.
Humans lived in a symbiotic relationship with the ecosystems we were in for thousands of years, even after developing agriculture. Humanity is not the source of the problem.

It only became a systemic issue after we developed industrial farming practices without regard for the delicate balances we relied on, by way of extracting the nutrients in the soil to sell on the market in some way or another. This isn't to say we need to dismantle industrial farming, but we should alter the ways we do agriculture to be more conscientious of the natural environment and promote sustainable agriculture. But this may be impossible without some serious crisis in the short/medium term.
They didn't sell the business jet division, only the regional jet division.
Here's why I like it:

For a considerable time in my professional life I was forced to use Windows. I would still have access to Linux VMs, in which I spent most of my time, using vim as the editor but whenever I wanted to take quick notes, sanitize text, stash away some info I need in work etc., I'd just use the notepad on Windows.

Then I found Notepad++. The UX is just so great (though I never figured out how to delete all the line ending spaces and it's sometimes nagging me).

So I love both Vim and Notepad++, different use cases. Different reasons.
Greta forbid someone point out that junk science exists in the state religion of climate change. Don't do your own research, listen to the experts, and delete your tweets panicking about models telling us climate change will kill us all when it turns out that they're wrong for the 10000th time.
What demographics can be gleamed from who and I contact and when?

This is one of those times where I feel like I'm annoyingly peppering someone with questions, hopefully it doesn't come across that away. I really am curious what ad-related use case I may have missed with regards to metadata.
I love it when my bulletproof cybertruck uses its full self driving ability to act as a robotaxi that earns me passive income while I sleep before I wake and temporarily use it as a boat to reach the mainland hyperloop entrance
that's a great idea! You can do a text search for trips but these would be good for filtering as well as being informational.
Does moving funds between compartmentalized economies count as "currency" use? I know quite a few cases of using it to move money from Russia or China.
> I don’t know the background of the author but it reads like Christian apologetics. Understanding language is important but this entire post softens the accepted point to something more easily swallowed.

I'm not a Christian, but my impression is that the author was disapproving of Christians who use certain translations of the Bible as an excuse to be homophobic or misogynistic. I don't know how Christian community members and Christian religious leaders decide which translations to use, but in the end the Bible is one medium for Christians to teach lessons. Other media include church events, discussion about what the Bible's text means, and discussion about what individual community members believe.

> In reality, the “Word of God” was “divinely inspired” and “so easy a child can understand it”.

"divinely inspired" is meaningless. As for "so easy a child can understand it", what's your basis for saying so? Having listened to a few informal devotionals, I'm very glad that the leaders of the devotionals complemented the actual Bible verses with simplified explanations of the verses (and sometimes relevant stories from their real lives).
