I think this policy is yet another example of ethical overengineering.

Yes, of course, ChatGPT & Co. are very unlikely to take any real care about what they give their models to learn - especially with regard to copyright.

For a better perspective, I always try to transfer the behavior to the analog world. In this sense, someone who, for example, illegally obtains a book on Linux (let's say via ebook) would not be ethically in the correct position to contribute to Gentoo, because the knowledge on which their contribution is based would be stolen intellectual property.

I can't imagine that there are any people in this world whose knowledge was obtained exclusively through copyright legal means. We are all in a gray area - one possibly more than the other.

In my view, it is typical of engineers to simply transfer philosophically complicated moral issues to technologies. But this method will never come close to solving anything, because the very complicated analog moral world cannot simply be mapped to 0 or 1.
Double seems more like a feature than a product. I feel like Copilot could easily implement those value-adds and obsolete this product.

I also don't understand why I can't bring my own API tokens. I have API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, and even local LLMs. I guess the "secret" is in the prompting that is being done on the user's behalf.

I appreciate the work that went into this, I just think it's not for me.
The Israel–Hamas war does not have much room for calm and intellectual discussion. Was there a specific angle or pov you are specific interested in?
if you are into ML libraries, take a look at fklearn, a scikitlearn-like lib, but written in a functional. Fun read to compare both side by side.

Python is an example of a language where, in general, the standard library probably isn't the best thing to read if you want to learn to write downstream Python applications/libraries. It can be terse, and not follow "modern" best practices in places (it was written at a time with different "best practices", but the code works so no need to change it).

There are some exceptions... I'd say the `statistics` module is one [1], the `collections` module might be another [2]. But in general, it's probably not the best place to start.

If you stumble upon the `multiprocessing` library source code as inspiration for "good Python code"... you're going to be in for a bad time and your future collaborators will not be happy.

I don't know that it's relevant in this case, but I think sugar is often added to make packaged food last longer.
That's not the point.

There are no good options other than eschewing participation, and the consequences of that are incredibly broad.
There are still vast amounts of data locked up behind login screens etc., though. E.g. to the foreign language data, a lot of national libraries around the world are either not even fully digitized yet or have lots of locked-down content. The Norwegian one is pretty open, but there's still huge amounts (like most newspapers newer than a century or so) that is either only available based on geolocation (I have my VPN for genealogy because of that - I'm Norwegian but live in the UK, and it's a nuisance), or only in a physical library in Norway.

Similarly I was looking for something from the British Library at one point and it was behind a paywall (a copying fee).

I have no idea how to even start to estimate how much data is locked down like that, and it's harder yet to try to figure out which parts of that it'd be possible to negotiate access to for various players, and what they can circumvent (e.g. say by buying book collections and the like - OpenAI is large enough by market cap it could afford to buy some of the largest extant publishers, for example, if they thought it gave them sufficient benefits).
Ironically, you've got a better chance of getting acceptable quality on mobile-to-mobile calls these days than when calling from a landline:

The big mobile carriers actually have VoIP interconnects preserving wideband audio, while connecting to an (especially smaller) landline carrier might still involve a circuit switched path (going to the physical location of the area code dialed, too!) that inevitably forces everything through a 4 kHz, 8 bit bottleneck.

IBM / Dehomag was a place for business as well. Good thing management ignored calls for boycott and told employees to leave their personal politics and support for “the current thing” at the door.
>directly responsible

It's fine to claim "the buck stops at the board/CEO and they should be responsible", but claiming that all directors are directly responsible, just because they're on the board is a stretch. If that counts as "directly" responsible, what type of "responsible" is associated with explicitly ordering/approving the decision?
Sugar comes from food, the rate we absorb sugar depends on the form. Saying that a balanced diet involves sugar is true but saying that we need it in a form that will overload the body is not true. This is not the part I would balance the diet on.

Compare per 100g or per 100 calories. Suggested serving amount implies an amount that is considered appropriate to consume at one time. Which is fine for non-essential foods but nonsensical for baby formula.

BTW manufacturers can (and do) play games with the suggested serving amount to make their product appear healthier or more desirable. Standardize on a common denominator for a product category and stick to it. Then, if needed, call out how many units of the product are in that standard size.
Not the swallowing exactly, but the result of filling a previously empty stomach. That’s where the satisfaction comes from, depending on how hungry you were.
If you go in to the office and there are dozens of people sitting at your desk waving flags and having political protests and refusing to let you enter and do your job, what would you call that exactly? Is that a safe working environment? How do you think an Israeli employee in that same office would have felt on the day of the protests?

These protests don't happen in a vacuum. The entire purpose is to disrupt day to day work and make people take notice.

The intimidation factor doesn’t get talked about enough. The internal activists are almost universally far left, reflecting the political leanings of the Bay Area. Anyone who speaks up with a different idea on any political topic will get attacked by a mob of these people. That means angry patronizing replies, getting criticized in public (outside of internal discussions), getting complaints sent to HR, etc.

If the population would rather risk starvation and being bombed over returning the hostages and not supporting Hamas, what conclusions can we draw from that? Either, that the population majority supports Hamas, or that they fear Hamas more than they fear getting bombed.

The war would end almost instantly with the return of the hostages and a handful of Hamas leaders.
Every contract with a national government buying whole data centers for cloud services is a major one with big numbers attached. This is not a small amount of money and the backlash to date has yet to be impactful.

If you want to be a major cloud player - and Google does - you need to be willing to do what other major cloud players do and sell to national governments. AWS, Oracle, and other hyperscalers all do.
Strong agree. Concept sounds great. The UI looks like something out of 2005 and that's just not okay. It simply cannot be relevant while looking like that and updating its UI would not have to cause any loss in functionality. It's honestly a waste of time for devs to be working on something that looks like that, since you're cutting out half your audience.
Something about halo just feels like such modern game, even halo ce. It’s so weird to think this game was contemporary with golden eye or quake. I think it was the polish with the animations, sound, and the physics. You pull out the pistol and do that satisfying pull back and click on it. You throw a grenade and hear it arm and see it thrown. You see your teammates throw grenades. You throw a grenade under a warthog, it flips it and knocks the occupants out. Even just scoping in and out of the sniper was satisfying with the sound it made.
What a disingenuous take.

Ironically, you are the one who needs to do more research.

I have deployed NAT64 in multiple networks before.

NAT64 is used when you have _internal_ IPv6 hosts who want to reach the _external_ IPv4 hosts. In order words, 2001:db8::1 can send something to 198.51.100.1 but not vice versa.

Your proposal is that we use IPv4 _internally_ since you think "internal IPv6 is overly complex" and we should "NAT to internal IPv4's". It doesn't exist since IPv4 is inherently forwards incompatible.

"HN doesn't understand the Internet Protocol" strikes again.
This is basically how all construction and manufacturing jobs work out, though? It isn't an isolated "single person" that can make arbitrary changes. They can propose something and it should be reviewed.

So, I don't think it is quite as simple as an isolated bug, per se. But it is very common for changes to get introduced at build time of physical things. Depending on where and what the change is, the level of review for it will be very different.

> The next time people ask "why so much paperwork, why so many regulations, why is it so complicated": this is why.

Yes, as the saying goes, regulations and safety rules are often written in blood.

But that doesn't mean that all regulations are automatically good and proportionate. For example, many institutional review boards would have zero problem with researchers deliberately submitting security holes to the Linux kernel. Sure, you're experimenting on kernel maintainers without their consent, and sure, you might make hundreds of millions of people vulnerable. But it's not technically "human research", so the IRB may sign off.

Meanwhile, if you're a psychiatrist working in a hospital, and if you want to (say) compare the results of your standard screening questionare against the results of your standard patient intake interview, you might think this is easy. Patients will usually do both anyways, so how hard can it be to design an ethical process to compare the two? Well, it's harder than you might expect:

https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/08/29/my-irb-nightmare/

I agree that we need to have rules and regulations about many things. But we should still discuss whether specific regulations accomplish the intended goal, and how big a cost those regulations impose on society.

It is perfectly possible for a large organization to design a software development process that makes it impossible to ever ship software. And similar pathologies often appear in any large organization, public or private. Designing good policies is hard but worth it.

Interesting they use the word 'private' in their strapline, after all they frame themselves as private search albeit they don't have their own search engine and market themselves as a privacy search engine. Their index is essentially Bing and they're hosted on Microsoft IPs. So not exactly ideal.
It's not so casual, nor is it about long-term endpoints.

Every commercial consumer food product from large brands like this is the output of an elaborate, rigorous "food science" endeavor that tests a variety of ingredient and preparation hypotheses against focus groups, established targets for texture/sweetness/..., cost, etc and balances those against any regulations that the brand's lobbying arm hasn't blocked.

They look for maxima across their field requirements and then send the results of that product research to manufacturing and sale.

Presumably, and unsurprisingly, they've found that sweetened milk drives more sales and brand loyalty and have therefore pushed it into any markets that allow it.
If all you consume is right leaning, then from your point of view the center will appear left leaning.

Sometimes you do need to step back some.

I think we've seen pretty clearly that people do go down rabbit holes and loose perspective. Even to the extreme of taking action like loading up the car with weapons, driving to another city to attack a pizza shop because it contains vampiric democrats that drink the blood of babies. Or, advocating that Russia should be allowed to do what they want in Ukraine.

With all of the keto grifters on the internet, I suspect this is merely a pendulum-swing to another mistake. There are so many novelties in what the average person eats today--dyes, stabilizers, flavor enhancers, packaging residue, thickeners, artificial sweeteners, preservatives... and the manufacture of each one is a moving target (changing feedstocks, equipment, process, etc). Some are used in such minute quantities, or are legally classified so broadly, that they don't even have to be specifically labeled.

All I know is that the boomers of the family ate fat and sugar like it was going out of style, and lived in decent health to a ripe old age, while the fair-trade free-range organic millennials seem to be falling apart at the seams. Before anyone lectures me on epistemology, I offered this as a data point, not an academic study.

Industry wants to move product. If fat is the problem--or at least if people think it is--industry moves to sugar. If sugar is the problem, they'll move back to fat. An inconvenience, but an easily surmountable one. Packaging and preservatives would be a tougher nut to crack--far fewer options. An entire market segment could be up-ended if a single option were suddenly forbidden.

It may not even be the food. The younger generation has been on a staggering number of medications in their formative years. Boomers are also inveterate pill-poppers, but not from early childhood. Think of the difference between giving aspirin to a child or to an adult. There may be another "reye's syndrome" hiding here.
I guess it's up to the device makers. Afaik, sideloading is popular in China, so I'd be surprised if it were disabled.

Phones made for the Mainland China market usually don't have Google Play or other Google stuff and there's lots of stuff that doesn't get published to Chinese app stores but isn't prohibited. You've got to sideload those apps, if you can find an apk.

Info outdated and probably incomplete/incorrect. For example the Thailand Smart Talent visa has additional requirements not listed on the site, requirements that few digital nomads can meet. Waste of time and misleading.

The whole "digital nomad visa" is kind of a misnomer, because nomads don't live anywhere for a long time, by definition. Until some countries figured out how to collect taxes from non-citizen remote workers, digital nomads stayed on tourist visas and worked online under the radar. Some of the so-called digital nomad/remote worker visas have strict requirements that typical DNs cannot meet. Be careful not to trust sites like this one, start with the official government web sites and engage a lawyer or agency in the destination country if you want to stay there and work longer than a tourist visa allows.
This sounds like standard corporate ass covering to me. "Oh, that was just an unauthorised rogue employee, they've been fired" sounds a lot better than "someone suggested lubing up the accelerator to speed up production, and no one thought to check it won't cause problems".

I don't know.

The universe does not know or care about our laws and they are incomplete.

For example, we have no idea how consciousness works, so at this point we stop at "I don't know", rather than inventing explanations.

I don't know if consciousness is computable -- I suspect it isn't.

If it is not computable then we cannot come up with laws to explain it.

Or maybe the whole universe is computable but its kolmogorov complexity is larger than its information capacity.
It’s a difficult question to answer. My understanding is the concentrate syrup is what everyone interacts with except a small set of people at the plants that make the syrup - and that is where the ‘magic’ happens. The actual product the public consumes is bottled at local/regional bottling facilities from the concentrate to save on unnecessary transport costs, which are significant for something which is 99% water and corn syrup, 1% ‘everything else’.

However, there is also the reality of mass spectrometry and HPLC. That plus a large enough group of chemists, and I’m not sure ANYTHING except perhaps a more economic means of production can actually be a real secret. But that last part is… complicated, case law wise. clean room reverse engineering has a interesting history.

And in the end, after spending all those millions, how will you get your ROI? Selling it as Monzanto-Cola afterwards isn’t exactly going to give you a higher margin, and frankly most of the value of Coca Cola comes from the brand, not the recipe directly anyway. And claiming it tastes exactly the same as Coca Cola would get a giant lawsuit target on you, which you’d almost certainly lose.

So you only have half the puzzle at best, and a giant lawsuit aimed at your head. As long as they do what they need to do to reasonably protect their trade secret, even if it’s something like 15% basil, 25% phosphoric acid, and the balance corn syrup.

Show HN: Pok'em – Send Matrix messages with HTTP requests
Send Notifications or other messages to yourself or your team from a CLI using curl or the pokem tool.

Basically this is an easily self-hostable, partial clone of ntfy.sh that sends messages to Matrix rooms.

It can run standalone locally, or it can be run as a service that listens to HTTP requests similar to ntfy.sh.

I setup a service myself running at @pokem:jackson.dev, but that will likely fall over if this becomes popular.

It works by using the Matrix room ID instead of ntfy.sh's custom topics. Invite the bot account to a Matrix room, then send the service the Room ID and the message you want via HTTP, and it will message the room.
From the actual document (the article "mysteriously" leaves out the word "unapproved") it sounds like it was an issue due to an unapproved change in assembly.

Article

> This defect is due to a lubricant that was used during the assembly process in order to make it easier to attach the pad to the pedal.

vs Document

> An unapproved change introduced lubricant (soap) to aid in the component
assembly of the pad onto the accelerator pedal. Residual lubricant reduced the
retention of the pad to the pedal.

Wonder who "approved" that change and if they are getting fired. Sounds like a fix would just be to disassemble, remove the soap and reassemble. But I'm sure they're going to go "more thorough" on the fix for the PR (no "omg they're just doing this").
