So, why even bother with an Airtag then? I mean, they're useful in luggage and things that are easily stolen, so this just destroys any usefulness in that capacity. I bet you see a huge drop in Airtags being purchased.
Train it on stream of consciousness but good luck getting enough training data.
Not to disagree with you but to add context, the monopoly on violence has not always been as straightforward as one might imagine:

Its more than just theft. I've used airtags to find luggage misplaced (but not stolen) by airlines.

Does that answer the question? If you have a password and key for 1Password, and keep both your passwords and authentications for accounts behind that password and key, doesn't that defeat multi-factor authentication? Because if the person has access to your account password within 1Password, then they also have access to your account authentication within 1Password.

AI models are not all matrix multiplications, and they tend to involve other operations. Also, they change super fast, much faster than hardware cycles, so if your hardware isn't general-purpose enough, the field will move past you and obsolete your hardware before it comes out.
I much prefer a GLADOS-type AI voice than one that approximates an endlessly happy chipper enthusiastic personal assistant. I think the AI tutor is probably the strongest for actual real-world value delivered the rest of them are cool but a bit questionable as far as actual pragmatic usefulness.

It'd be cool if an AI calling the another AI would recognize it'd talking to an AI and then they agree to ditch the fake conversational tone and just shift into a high-bandwidth modem pitch to rapidly exchange information. Or upgradable offensive capabilities to outmaneuver the customer service agents when they try to decline your warranty or whatever.
Weird- can you email me? chris@life360.com and I will forward this to get looked into. The map thing seems like a bug. I'd also like to learn more about your concerns on over upsells.

Uhh, I don't know about that. Since getting airtags I've misplaced my car keys multiple times, left my wallet on an airplane, and had multiple airlines misplace my luggage. In that same time I've not had anything stolen.
This has reaffirmed my decision to use Tile. It seems it's now the most effective option for tracking my property among similar bluetooth tags. Stalking is awful but as you say there are many more effective tools for that, tools which will still be available to people who want to use them no matter what Tile does. If an effective product gets crippled - for a good cause, sure - but crippling it doesn't actually advance that cause, why do it?
Yea, our supply chain fragility and dependence really scares me sometimes. I try not to think about it, to be honest.
But I think this animosity is very much expected, no? Even I felt a momentary hint of "jealousy" -- if you can even call it that -- when I realized that we humans are, in a sense, not really so special anymore.

But of course this was the age-old debate with our favorite golden-eyed android; and unsurprisingly, he too received the same sort of animosity:

Bones was deeply skeptical when he first met Data: "I don't see no points on your ears, boy, but you sound like a Vulcan." And we all know how much he loved those green-blooded fools.

Likewise, Dr. Pulanski has since been criticized for her rude and dismissive attitudes towards Data that had flavors of what might even be considered "racism," or so goes the Trekverse discussion on the topic.

And let's of course not forget when he was on trial essentially for "humanity," or whether hew as indeed just the property of Starfleet, and nothing more.

More recent incarnations of Star Trek: Picard illustrated the outright ban on "synthetics" and indeed their effective banishment; non-synthetic life -- from human to Roman -- simply weren't ok with them.

Yes this is all science fiction silliness -- or adoration depending on your point of view -- but I think it very much reflects the myriad directions our real life world is going to scatter (shatter?) in the coming years ahead.

My experience is that you send email to someone whose Op Sec is not as good as your own, then your email will be harvested at the point when that person's address book is harvested. I don't know all the details of how these harvests occur, but using a shady mobile app with Contacts permission would be enough.

They are spying on you, looking for clues to your gender. That is the same as collecting the data, but more insidious and automated.
They present it in a way where it seems like you have to comply- "OK, now look into this camera and hold still".

If you don't read the signs (and from what I saw, no one does...), you may not understand that it's optional. The dishonesty is on purpose of course.
Why would an alien race bother with solar panels? Surely they would have mastered fusion (and beyond) rather than littering their planet’s surface with solar panels.

Generative AI Doesn't Make Hardware Less Hard
Duck probably isn't eaten here all that much, but at my local supermarket there'd be breasts, Peking Duck flavoured breasts, confit legs, and another Peking Duck kit.

In that not-overly-large shopping complex, there are two supermarkets (one of which has loads of European smallgoods, like 40+ types of cheese) and also: independent greengrocer, butcher, fishmonger, bulk grains store, bakery chain, etc. Used to be a poultry-specialist butcher too. Most shopping centres I can think of here will have an independent butcher, plus more separately outside those. There'd be dozens of butchers in a city of about 1 million.

The author defined mediocre success to be the relative outcome of an experiment, such as an A-B test, he wasn’t talking about income levels or overall success.

They really need a "hidden yap" mode. LLMs perform better on difficult questions or interactions when they have "room to think". An introductory paragraph is like that, and it's as much for the LLM to form its thoughts as it's for the user. But for all that the intro paragraph doesn't have to be _read_ by the user, it just has to be emitted by GPT and put into the transcript.

There is no other way.

Whatever you do to producer, it will affect consumer.

Increase cost of production? Cost of product increases.

Decrease production output? Cost of product increases. (Assuming demand did not change)

Forbid a product? Consumer looks, for next best alternative which is pricier (if it was cheaper, it would have been the first pick).

Regulate prices? Output is reduced. To fill in the gap, consumers look for next best alternative, which is pricier (if it was cheaper, it would have been the first pick)

The only alternative is for consumer to stop desiring the product somehow. E.g by changing of definition of “good” via education, morals or religion.
>> When I'm talking to my local barista I'm not just ordering a coffee, I'm also maintaining a relationship with someone in my community.

A lot of people think of their colleagues as part of a professional community as well, though.
I looked at that approach and it’s solid and well-supported. Comes down to a choice of multiple tools versus Rye as a single tool. Though you can say multiple tools are more Unix-like.
People have been promising this for well over a decade now but the bottleneck is the same as it was before: the voice assistants can't access most functionality users want to use. We don't even have basic text editing yet. The tone of voice just doesn't matter when there's no reason to use it.
So many people 'want' a correction that it's clear there is a ton of demand. Ergo, I wouldn't be too hopeful.
Two points here:
AirGuard provides tracker alerts without opting into any of the tracking networks.

With Find My disabled, these Tracking alerts do not work.
> I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that

We're already there with GPT, why would you expect anything else from a robotics company?
OpenAI keeps a copy of all conversations? Or mines them for commercially-useful information?

Has OpenAI found a business model yet. Considering the high cost of the computation, is it reasonable to expect that OpenAI licensing may not be profitable. Will that result in "free" access for the purpose of surveillance and data collection.

Amazon had a microphone in peoples' living rooms, a so-called "smart speaker" that to which people could talk. The "Alexa" was a commercial failure.
You are correct. I will add this. I was not clear enought on this.
Bumble is not owned by Match.
> neither of these thinkers are radical any longer

I believe the question was whether or not those thinkers were indicative of "anti-collective propaganda" or being "locked inside [...] conservative ideology".

I have no interest in the degree of radicalness. I especially have no interest in thinkers who are even more politically minded than those I have already mentioned.
Economic and Social Impact of Huanglongbing on the Mexico Citrus Industry
Surrealist humor isn’t everyone’s cup of fur.
It's good in any prompt to give the AI a chance to think without impact (without executing anything, maybe without making anything specifically appropriate for the user to read). That works somewhat similarly to "taking a moment to think."

At that point they'll still have a tendency to use a stereotyped response and stick with it, instead of a thoughtful response, but you can try to address that in prompting too by asking for multiple proposals before choosing one.
At least we haven't gotten to the "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid my sponsors don't want me to do that" stage yet.
It depends…

For example, I mentioned something to my contractor and the short thing he said back and his tone had me assume he understood.

Oh, he absolutely did not.

And, with him at least, that doesn’t happen when in writing.
To be honest, no, as someone with pretty severe ADHD I use trackers exclusively to find stuff I misplaced a few hours ago.
I don’t know anything about conversation retention, but I do know that OpenAI doesn’t plan to be profitable until AGI.
I totally get it. I know the feeling. I have written some complex Makefiles in the past for C projects that looked completely horrid.

For smaller projects I like make and people who work with me and know me always first check Makefile to see what is there and what the project is about. I use it as a launchpad for installing dependencies and things like that.

And it's all about what is appropriate for that project. Something a shell script is better. Sometimes soemthing else. So I completely understand what you are saying.
You are pointing to two general areas where completely eliminating labor through use of AI personal assistants is not a goal: Education and entertainment. I agree. In the case of education, some labor is necessary in order to learn, and in the case of entertainment, the "labor" (of killing the bad guys or whatever) is the fun part, so there is no need to avoid the labor.
At least on iOS, things like microphone permissions are opt-in rather than opt-out. iOS also displays an icon prominently at the top of the screen whenever an app is using that permission, and regularly reminds users when they leave an app running with these permissions in the background, so it's kind of hard to miss when it is happening.
Ecto is hands down my favorite part of the elixir ecosystem.

It’s so elegant and the Lego blocks (query, schema, change set, repo) can be mixed and matched in different ways.

I’ve even used schemas and change sets to validate API requests and trivially provide very nice, clean, and specific errors, while getting perfectly typed structs when things are validated.
Since you’re in an at-risk group, I strongly suggest you look into the sorts of devices the CEO mentioned, especially if you own a car (or any portable thing that could hold a pound of batteries, like a bike or a scooter).

Though some things in that space are marketed to stalkers, there are legitimate use cases for such technologies, and therefore the only LTE tracking devices I’ve seen in person were sold at reputable stores.
I briefly installed Life360 when some members of a group trip tried to sell the rest of us on it as a sort of emergency personal location beacon, like the colonists had in Aliens. It's one of the most domestic-abuser-friendly apps I've ever seen.

Most of the people your products are being misused to stalk can't even turn off their location sharing because the person who's insisted they install the app/hardware will assume that doing so means they're off spending time with someone else, or whatever their personal paranoid fantasy is. Why would someone being subjected to that contact you? It would just enrage whoever is monitoring their movements when their account was suspended, or whatever your process is.

The people misusing your products in that way don't think they're doing anything wrong, so they're not going to hesitate to have you verify their ID.
Planet and nature will be just fine. Number of species bounce back after extinction events. As long as there is at least one ameba, life will find a way.

Reminds me of a friend who taught 6th grade at a low-income school in LA-County. Before, she was rationed two (2) reams of paper a month. Upon transferring to a much more well-funded school, the other teachers had to talk her down from hoarding the unlimited reams in the break room.
> Humans are more partial to talking than writing.

Is it so?

Speaking most of the time is for short exchange of information (pleasantries to essential information exchanges).

I prefer writing for long in-depth thought exchanges (whether by emails, blogs etc.)

In many cultures - European or Asian, people are not very loquacious in everyday life.

I get that there's an argument to be made that the iPad OS's problems are due to over simplification, but I don't think that's what the article is saying - as I read it, the author is asking for fixing bugs and refinements. I think it hints at the core problem though: The OS designers are attempting to have it both ways. Is it possible to cater to both power users and novices equally well? I personally doubt it.
Old enough to realize that mass selling buckets of medicine isn't sane (no matter what they are, hint, Advil expires too), especially since I have doctors in my family. Also it kind of confirmed what statistics say about America being over medicated. It's just a small whiff of the disease that ends up with mass fentanyl addictions.
About 3 months ago for that exact use case.
I disagree. There's a clear disclaimer of who they are, and they're responding to a specific criticism.

Their comment at the top level also has that disclaimer and while it's written in a bit of a marketing tone, it adds substantive value to the discussion.

One major value of HN is that we get people who are actively involved in building various pieces of technology directly engaging with the community. When there's a strong disclosure of who they are, that's almost always a good thing. (Of course, some organisations don't encourage that disclosure and that's a little more ambiguous).
As someone who also has ADHD, I find the way the tasks are broken down and guided through to be extremely helpful. I also like the overall accessibility, and having things read aloud is an extremely nice touch, in my opinion, as well as having a smooth user interface overall that makes it easy to work with. While I don't have any suggestions, I will say that I believe this can be an extremely helpful tool, and that I wish you luck on your future endeavors regarding this project!

No. It was created for cross-referencing different vulnerability databases.

There’s just one problem – each security vendor has its own database with little to no crossover. Each vendor’s tool generates its own alert for detected vulnerabilities, and these alerts must be manually cross-referenced between the tools to determine if they are separate issues or multiple alerts for the same issue.

good question. birmingham, alabama didn't build enough to match demand, and that area's zoning isn't very strict compared to big cities. i'm curious to know about the zoning laws in nashville and atlanta, but from my tiny bit of knowledge, those places have seen the supply/demand imbalance like everywhere else.

Like @RobertRies, I found this comment useful. I've never bought a Tile but now that I know they have this much penetration I'm somewhat more likely to. I also had not seen the other posts by GP, so don't find it redundant.
What especially blows my mind is not GPT4o. It's that:

1. Nobody could convincingly beat GPT4 in over a year, despite spending billions of dollars trying.

2. There's GPT5 coming out sometime soon that will blow this out of the water and make paying $20/mo to OpenAI still worthwhile.
Yes I was shocked that the lady behind the podium stated “now look here” as if it is totally normal. They’ve clearly been instructed to do this. And it makes it all the more alarming that this power is vested in the government. They can abuse this ability to introduce new dystopian things in many other settings that are more consequential.

Having an aging workforce means you lose available skills.

And aging population means you have more dependents than caretakers for them.

An aging population in some parts of the world means you have fewer men to fight in a conflict (assuming your adversary doesn’t have an aging population).

There’s loss of specialization, loss of skill transfer, younger people do more manual labor like harvesting food.

You need people of a certain age range to basically run society.
