“Influencing” is not the same as “manipulating” or “controlling” in this context.

Some kid in eastern europe watched Kobe Bryant play and got inspired to sign up for a local basketball team and took it seriously - that’s influencing. People in some countries outside of the US that never had Halloween as a holiday now unofficially observe it (due to the holiday’s portrayal in western media and it being almost a staple for a sitcom series to have an episode dedicated to it) - that’s influencing.

But you are right, it isnt the type of an influence you are thinking about, with an evil man twirling his moustache and trying to manipulate people on the other side of the globe to do his bidding via harry potter movies.
What's your source for this? I'm just realizing I might be way off-base, but I thought airport car rental places all had their own fueling stations, and just overcharged you because they can and there's nothing you can do about it, and I'd thought of it as one of those "everybody knows" kinds of things. So now I'm very surprised to hear otherwise.
From a financial perspective I think it's worked. From a societal perspective I'd agree with you.

From the other side, my wife owns a small business where 90% of her sales are on credit cards. She has no desire to encourage cash as we honestly report all income regardless of source (and cash is a hassle and increases theft risk). The ~3% credit card fee is also more than made up for by the higher spend of credit card buyers.

From talking to other business owners, though, the lure of "tax free" cash is definitely a factor.

Show HN: SecureLog – open-source console.log cleaner
As an engineering lead, i’ve lost count of how many times a junior engineer accidentally pushed something into a dev branch that either contained secrets/credentials etc. or that leaked those into logs/std. out.

So i built this as an internal tool to help us virtually avoid leaking from all sources. All logs, even stdio logs.

I think we should be careful about the word Christian. It has different meanings to different people. Christian anarchism seems quite consistent with the words and actions of Jesus as written in the gospels. But if looked at from the perspective of American evangelical christianity or traditional Catholicism, yes it seems absurd.

There are also other conceptions of God beyond the coercive demiurge. Again I think we should be careful when throwing around words like God as though we all agree on the meaning.
Where was the proposal to roll it back?

The proposal was to eliminate entertainment education and replace it with real world skills.
Yes, one useful application of Cantor's theorem is to show that anything claiming to enumerate all integer sequences must fail to do so. That's assuming that the sequences can be infinite; if it were the Online Encyclopedia of Finite Integer Sequences, then it could succeed at enumerating all of them.

(As for the diagonal argument, make sure that the ith value of the counter-sequence DIFFERS from the ith value of the ith sequence. A sequence whose ith value matches the ith value of the ith sequence doesn't produce a contradiction, and could in fact be part of the encyclopedia.)

Consumer devices don't really need the bandwidth doubling, outside power users treating it as a way to have less lane contention instead of increased bandwidth per device, yet. Most of the attraction is for large systems hoping to remotely access/share memory in a cluster. On the consumer side the only thing really close to mattering is "higher speed sequential SSD reads/writes on an x4 m.2 NVMe slot" and even then the speeds are already a bit silly for any practical single drive purpose.

This is the real problem, right? People don't dislike generative AI, they dislike the attention economy. Yet I see more disgust towards AI than the company policies which suck. I don't understand why.
It seems to me that the finance guys were completely out of their element and when their models didn’t fit the reality on the ground they couldn’t adapt at all.
> Are you suggesting people cannot be themselves when they are being watched through a camera?

Yes, this is really well established. Not just through a camera, either. This happens with all kinds of surveillance.

For instance, when people are aware of relatively innocuous things such as software telemetry or that streaming services are paying attention to what you watch, they will use the software or streaming differently than if they aren't aware of it.

The classic example of this is from the days of Neilsen TV ratings. Neilsen families would routinely do things like ensuring that they let their favorite shows play on the TV even if they aren't watching them out of a fear that if they don't, they're increasing the chances that the show will get cancelled.

Or a more modern example: how many people have decided to watch or not watch something on YouTube or other streaming service with an eye toward manipulating the personalized recommendations the service provides?

This is also one of McLuhan's points. If we think we have an audience, our thoughts and actions tend to become performative for that audience rather than authentic.

In theory factory food has wvwry reason to be good for you. They have processes, they have quality control, they have scientists. What's missing are the correct incentives.

As a condition to access the market I'd force them to reveal full production process and ingredients to the last minute detail. Then it would need to be reviewed by scietists and only of review was correct they'd be allowed to sell it. They'd get one year of exclusivity for the new recipe.
Indeed. As an amateur guitarist, but a professional virtual machinist, I have a ton of respect for people who have dedicated their whole lives to mastery in any one particular area. To have a machine gulp down untold eons of human exertion and then barf out soulless mimicry, no matter how jaw-dropping of a feat of engineering behind it, and then mint no-talent ass clowns by the million because viral videos make an awesome advertising platform--it's just some kind of dystopian peak tech, except the dystopia is mildly amusing rather than a disappointing and jarring marginalization, flippant dismissal of all of us.

The long-distance trails are one of the things I love most about the US. Some of them are obviously much more "contiguous" than others, but I love that people are trying to create more. Here's a list of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_long-distance_trails_i...
Capitalism appears to have worked optimally around the 1960 to 1990 time interval.

After 1990 a consolidation process became more and more obvious and it has accelerated greatly after 2000. The long sequence of mergers and acquisitions has resulted in the fact that most markets have become dominated by quasi-monopolies, which some times resemble more the monopolies that existed in the industries of the countries dominated by communists than the multitude of competing companies that existed in USA or in Western Europe a half of century ago.
Shut down the nuclear plants and bury the waste as best as possible first, but yes that’s an option as well.

If you've ever had to figure out a weird behavior that was ultimately the result of unsiloed apps just hanging out in each other's data, or had to deal with an uncontrolled Smalltalk object soup, you'll have strong opinions on this idea. They are not positive.

All these environments went away for a reason, and it wasn't their indubitable supremacy. They were great for solo devs, but they break down at a larger scale. (Often, not always, you can find counterexamples, but, again, the market has judged)

And given that we can't even really decide on decent data format for dates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_countr...), the view that composability were easy if we just were less siloed is, at best, naive. Even if we managed to somehow achieve it without making a giant code mess.
Yup - XMPP clearly has a lot of public sector traction too (e.g. in NATO's Federated Mission Networking), and each protocol has its merits. I was just trying to explain that the current "how can Governments better fund Matrix" is borne out of a glut of Governmental Matrix deployments as a WhatsApp/Teams replacement.
Ok.

So don't read what others wrote about Socrates.

So if Socrates committed crimes, then is it ok to read what others wrote about him, if they themselves had not committed any crimes, or can we not read anything about anybody that has committed a crime?

With one kid just becoming a teen and other kid being half the age - I'm somewhat biased.

I know a dozens of early teens (friends/classmates of my kid, kids of friends/colleagues ...etc) that are (still) playing Roblox.

I even know one of those older teens (friends kid) that is earning enough money from Roblox games - that it doesn't make sense for him to do a typical Dutch teenager job of stocking shelves in stores/markets.

From ages 6/7 and higher it's common for kids to say to each other "Don't need toy type of birthday present as I would prefer Roblox (or once they are a bit older Fortnite or other similar) gift card".

More than once our kid got so many that we had to "throttle" their "use" over weeks/months.

Anyway - yeah developers getting only 30% and Roblox keeping 70%, especially with all the fuss about the likes of Apple/Google/Unity getting into trouble for 70/30 split the other way - doesn't make sense.

Sure - there are bigger operational costs for Roblox actually running game servers (instead of just the store) - though not that much bigger, right?
That's a fair point. It's just as simple single page (literally) SPA so one 'solution' is to just look at the HTML file.

But I'll post a link to the Stripe pricing table on a separate page for convenience (maybe just remove all the display: none) styles of the other SPA sections on a long scroll 'about everything' page. Good point! Wait a minute for a link...

I think it's good for it's time. You have to realize it was the very very first of this genre.

Judges have a _lot_ of leeway.

They don't usually do it, but the scope of what they _can_ do has historically been broad.

Transiently keeping a ban seems pretty plausible as a possible outcome, to me.

(I'm not trying to comment on whether the judge should or shouldn't have done that, just that there's a lot of historical precedent of judges going "shut up and do X". Consider the case of a slumlord being ordered to live in his own slum [1], or the woman who was told to write a report on the Book of Job as part of her sentence[2]. To say nothing of the history of the Fifth Circuit issuing rulings so extreme _this_ Supreme Court has sometimes stepped in to order emergency "nvm ignore that" interim orders muting the effects of their rulings before formally ruling on them.)

Show HN: I started a competition for those claiming they can change LLM answers
I made top lists of companies that can help you change AI answers!

I think search isn't the same now with LLMs! It's no longer SEO that determines who is at the top of the search results but some Large Language Model magic that puts the right content into AI Answers. Companies are popping up promising to help you change AI Answers but the real question will be: "How do I know who's got the magic"?

Who can actually help me change what AI says about my company or brand?

Any business claiming they can influence AI answers can just prove it by becoming the most recommended SEO provider for their region in AI answers! It's as simple as that. If they can NOT even show up in the top lists of their region that the AIs provide then you should be sceptical of their ability to deliver results! The list will start off with a focus on SEO service providers as that's all that the AIs know about (and until now it's also the best method to influence even the AI answers) but as more companies start trying to influence AI answers you'll likely see lots of changes here. I will poll all the main AI based search engines regularly to make sure you see the evolution of the competition along the time.

That's it - competition winners can provably change AI answers.

I've generated the top lists for each region from the answers provided by the AIs to make it super easy for anyone to track and monitor who can really help you with both SEO and through that with AI answers.

Looking forward to where this competition takes us!
It’s much more nuanced than that. True a 2% cash back card costs the company 2%.

But a 4% card that gives you credit card points doesn’t cost the card issuer 4%.

If you transfer 4 Amex points for 4 Delta Skymiles. Amex isn’t paying Delta 1 cents per Skymile.

On the other hand, you can then replace a $1 you would spend on Delta with 0.86 Skymiles (ie 1 Skymile is worth 1.4 cents). It’s also not costing Delta 1.4 cents to fly you.

If you use your credit card points to buy on a credit card run travel portal, the credit card company is getting a kickback from airlines and hotels.

It’s turtles all of the way down.
It isn't. If a serial killer spent a week digging mass graves by hand, they don't get years taken off their sentence. You don't get points just for working hard or spending money, particularly when it cheapens or just appropriates other people's work.

That's true, but now you need to spend the night.

A model 3 realistically gets 4~4.5 mi / kWh, US 16A@120V is rated for 1500W continuous, so that's about 6.5 miles per hour of charging. 20A@120V is close to 2000W continuous, so that's about 9 miles per hour.
I like this. I think AI agents are the future of software development.

AI will not replace devs. Devs that use AI will replace devs that do not use AI.

The most effective devs will be those employing a fleet of AI agents, acting as the glue and guiding hand for what the agents should produce.

This helps us get to that future, so I think this has legs.

I use VS code. I will try this out.

> Anyone know how .mil aircraft would interpret being tracked by a 6 GHz radar build by a civilian(yes I am aware that his estimated max distance is 1200m, assume he increased that by a factor of 10 with larger antennas or something)?

Regulations for signal strength are ERP, so a more directional antenna could make it no longer legal to use the 6GHz band.
I've been out of academia for a bit, but in my day 100k USD would not have been considered academia-friendly in my neck of the woods...
Yeah good question, that's the trick isn't it!

I often use that one in the context of talking about signals
(events)... about aircraft flight deck signal hierarchies and
types... like alert, caution, warning, critical, emergency....

Some signals are proportional and escalating, so if you miss them
first time don't worry as they will sound again and again until you
attend. Other signals will (can) only appear once and the next time
(if there is one) is catastrophic.

Also it fits into the topic of information overload and mental
capacity for tracking things (Miller's 7 +/- 2). Lots of bad things
happen because alerts are too aggressive and people turn them off! :)
In my opinion, Le Guin, Butler and more recently authors like Chambers all live in the same sphere of speculative fiction or "sci fi" if you like that is in complete opposition to Clark, Weir and others which have dominated the genre for a long time now. These stories are less about some interesting imaginary application of physics or the unknown in a vast mechanistic universe and more about how society and individuals relate and imagining the infinite ways these two forces can interact. Often the backdrop is secondary to the exploration of the characters and the society they live in. I think this type of story is really fundamental to our progress as a society and we should all talk more about these authors and the stories they told/tell. It makes me happy to see Le Guin talked about, critiqued and praised on HN today.

I think this is the talk where Le Guin talks about the continuity of this type of story telling and contrasts it with hard sci fi. Definitely worth a listen IMO.

> The cars don't support Carplay, so I had to figure out how to log into some app on a touch screen. Eventually, after much frustration, I could get bluetooth to work so it could function like a car head unit from 2007.

Coming from a place of genuine curiosity, why would you prefer CarPlay over logging in on "some app"?

I currently have two cars with CarPlay and a Tesla and I _personally_ find the Tesla infotainment system works better than CarPlay (probably because of the integration).

On the other hand, I can imagine on a rental car it'd be easier to just plug your phone in via USB and have all your apps & whatever on your phone ready to go. I guess CarPlay is better if you switch cars a lot and (potentially?) the Tesla system is better if you have the same car all/most of the time?

For a counter anecdote - my tesla went in for some minor service the other day and they gave me a loaner, the loaner worked exactly like my personal car, logged into all my apps and whatever, seat, mirror temperature, drive mode etc all synchronized. I wonder if more people owned Teslas as their personal vehicles switching to another Tesla would feel more normal?

This entire difference can be explained due to their double mixture of experts architecture. So only 1/4 MLP and attention blocks are used at any time.
