I have kids who will soon be teens. They don't have phones yet, but I can see the decision looming: my ability to communicate / coordinate with them plus the fact that a huge portion of their social life will migrate online on one hand vs. all of the dangers on the other.

This is why a lot of parents start with smart watches or restricted phones. They try to get the communication / coordination benefits without the online social risks. But that only lasts so long.

I'm not sure how I'll navigate it. Probably not by saying "no to that stuff until 18".
Damn.. I wish I could feel good when jogging. At best it is excruciating, at worst one time in Bristol I could not take it anymore and started punching a tree from the frustration until I bled.

I love walking, but it does not do anything significant for my cardiovascular health :(
Talking with people and screaming at clouds are the same thing if they hear and go about their day anyway because they don't care.

The axiom that the problem is a lack of awareness starts to defy logic because this has been going on for over 2 decades now. You bet your ass people are aware, they just don't care regardless.

Is this a good thing? Probably not. But the fact remains people don't care about privacy and specifically digital privacy. This isn't 2004 anymore, it's 2024.

Islam is extremely important to Tajik identity. But Tajikistan is making the same mistake many other Muslim dictatorships and authocracies did. By not having a real open political system, the only place for dissent to take root is in Islamist circles, and then that's the opposition you get.
Is the Wikipedia entry wrong? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ylva_Johansson says:

"In the 1988 general elections Johansson was elected as a member of the Riksdag for the Left Party – Communists (VPK). She later left the party and joined the Social Democrats."

Looks like she left the VPK in 1991.

Credit Unions are far more than just banks. That's like saying Apple iOS and Linux are pretty much the same. They both do have similar features, but the relationship towards the user/member is arguably different in practice. I.e. cooperative owner vs customer-to-extract.

I wonder if whoever ran this test prefers this type of content and its tied to a wifi network, same device, linked account, IP or location and there's no detail of the setting of the test.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't like the government telling me which type of propaganda I can consume .

If I want Chinese propaganda, I should have a right to consume it. There's nothing that TikTok does that Instagram or even YouTube isn't trying to replicate .

I think this is really just a case of protectionism. Now you can make the argument that China engages in the same protectionism and if they're not letting us spread propaganda over there, we shouldn't let them do the same here .

But I used to believe that a fundamental trait of American speech was freedom. I don't care if TikTok is literally 24/7 Pro Chinese propaganda. Who was the government to tell me I don't have a right to consume that.
What does banning tiktok even look like? I assume I can just download the apk, or will I need to VPN somewhere as well?

I agree, someone, somewhere is making money off this stuff and know how to hide it or all these hospital groups would be belly up in a few years. What’s even more scary is all the rural hospitals that are going bankrupt at an escalating pace (in the USA). I have lots of “country folk”relatives and I worry about them. The closest hospital to my mother Is 20 miles away, if that one shuts down the closest is 55 miles away. I have at least 5 within 5 miles of me, 2 of which are major regional surgical/oncology centers because I live in an urban area.

Press release: https://www.gilead.com/news-and-press/press-room/press-relea...
Just to actually say what is probably obvious.. this means that corporations have found a way to outsource the costs of providing customer support to the tax paying general public, including those who are not even using their services and never heard of the company.

Ag’s should not be requesting that this is fixed, but requiring it in no uncertain terms, and giving out massive penalties for every single time it’s allowed to happen. If the legal system takes “only” a few years to get wise to the fact that this is just indirect theft, I would say the damages in terms of wasted time are easily in the millions, and plus the opportunity cost of whatever work they did not get to while handling frivolous stuff like this.
> The Black Sea is a de facto big lake, any big navy would have the same problems as the Russians now have against drones and land-based missiles.

I doubt that; Russian land-based air defense is struggling in a similar fashion. Very little get anywhere near Ukraine's Patriots, while hand-me-down NATO-supplied weapons are happily taking out S-300 and S-400s in Crimea. As for drones, the US has been dealing with small-boat attackers for significantly longer; I'm sure they're using lessons learned in Ukraine to improve, but in jet ski versus CIWS in open waters, I'm betting on CIWS.

(That said, you would indeed avoid getting a carrier group stuck somewhere like the Black Sea.)

> hence why USS Eisenhower had to escape 200 miles North to Jeddah once it started being targeted a few weeks ago

Notably, it's not on the bottom like the Moskva.

Being able to pretty effectively take down threats doesn't mean you need to unnecessarily risk it, but Russia's difficulty a) defending against NATO missiles and b) striking back against NATO air defense in Ukraine should give folks like China some serious pause in their own planning.

To whom it may concern,

I understand that there have been concerns raised regarding the uniqueness of the code in my project. I want to clarify that I have a broad exposure to various open-source projects, including Boron, Carbon, Minoca, Palladium, and NeptuneOS, among others. My interaction with these projects is purely for educational purposes and to stay informed about different coding practices within the open-source community. This does not equate to copying their code for my own projects.

I utilize a programming tool called Codeium, which is equipped with AI capabilities based on the GPT-4 model. This sophisticated tool assists in generating code suggestions and snippets to aid in the development process. It is important to note that while Codeium's AI provides recommendations, it does so from an expansive dataset of open-source, properly licensed public code. However, as a developer, I exercise discretion over which suggestions I implement into my codebase. The AI's suggestions are merely a starting point, and I often enhance or modify them significantly in the context of my work.

In light of the concerns raised, I am committed to conducting a thorough review of the code in question. Should I find any similarities with the Minoca project, I am prepared to take the necessary steps. This may include rewriting or removing the code entirely, or appropriately crediting the original authors as per the licensing agreements and norms of the open-source community.

I take the originality and integrity of my work seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address any issues that may arise. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
I am writing to address the concerns that have been raised regarding the code I contributed to enhance the Local Procedure Call (LPC) mechanism in ReactOS. I want to categorically deny these allegations and provide an explanation of my development process to clear any misunderstandings.

Firstly, I must emphasize that I have never accessed or reviewed the source code of WRK. My work on ReactOS's LPC improvements was conducted through legitimate reverse engineering practices. Reverse engineering is a recognized method for understanding system behaviors and is protected within the European Union under certain conditions as outlined in Directive 91/250/EEC and the Trade Secrets Directive 2016/943.

The system from which I reverse engineered had reached its End-Of-Life (EOL), and under the original licensing terms, reverse engineering for compatibility purposes is permissible. My intent was to ensure interoperability and enhance the functionality of ReactOS, which is a legally acceptable and common practice.

In the process of enhancing the LPC mechanism, I integrated the improvements with pre-existing code to form a coherent and functional system. The new function that I implemented, despite being short and the subject of criticism, was composed of calls to existing functions and references to global variables that are part of the ReactOS project. This function was necessary for the improved LPC mechanism to operate correctly within the system's context.
But in a lot of these cases, ownership of the account isn't in question. I don't see how a request of the form "unban me" could be used to steal accounts.
Seems like that would depend on your job. Are you a line cook? Actuary? Electrician, barber, power systems controls engineer, nurse, technical writer, programmer, financial advisor, program manager, creative director, level designer, wing systems engineer, welder, pilot, detective, bouncer, film editor, bartender, appliance line worker, landscaper, civil engineer, residential construction foreman, HVAC technician, … ?
Totally fair points.

> I cannot make the leap from "super intelligent" to "has access to all the levers of social and physical systems control" without the explicit, costly, and ongoing, effort of humans.

Yeah this is a fair point! The super intellect may just convince humans, which seems feasible. Either way, the claim that there are 0 paths here for a super intelligence is pretty strong so I feel like we can agree on: It'd be tricky, but possible given sufficient cleverness.

> I see no reason to believe that the emergent properties of a highly complex system will include free will.

I really do think in the next couple years we will be explicitly implementing agentic architectures in our end-to-end training of frontier models. If that is the case, obviously the result would have something analogous to goals.

I don't really care about it's phenomenal quality or anything, it's not relevant to my original point.
What is your use-case where you need a GB200 but can't house it? These are datacenter processors; they consume a lot of power, output a lot of heat, and do an impressive amount of work. The same problem would arise with an Instinct or Gaudi accelerator.

The real "only thing" that matters is CUDA. CUDA scales from Raspberry Pi boards to desktop cards to datacenters without skipping a beat. It's a killer product in an age where OpenCL is rotting and dead.
> has anybody considered that maybe Richard Stallman was wrong?

> maybe it ISN'T a good idea to volunteer your time to write libraries that corporations will use to make billions...

If you are writing libraries that are being used by companies as part of proprietary software at all -- much less to make billions -- then you didn't pay attention to Richard Stallman.

> isn't the whole point of intellectual property law to align incentives?

Yes: which is why Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation specifically came up with a model which uses copyright law against proprietary software via the idea of "copyleft".

I think there are people out there who fundamentally believe in doing service for other people... as long as they aren't taken advantage of! Aligning this incentive by encoding this moral contract into a civil one is the goal of the FSF.

(Now, I won't say they nailed it... GPL2 failed to foresee and prevent DRM, and even GPL3 has issues with the new era of cloud hosting; but like, they did much better than anyone probably should have expected.)

Contrary to the title of this LWN post, PCRE2 is not "Free Software" and is actually licensed under BSD; the result is that, yes: a ton of companies use this library and they make billions.
You’d have to be pretty naive, I’d say a nonprofit still needs to save some money to handle the ebb and flow of just existing and to have some money tucked away. I’m not sure how that works since I’ve never been part of one, but there has to be a way, because it’s the only pragmatic approach to anything that lasts more than a few months.
Yes, that's still a problem with the algorithm as it's prioritizing problematic content for increased ad revenue - something those buying ads on the platform should be extremely concerned about.

Exactly. MacOS (really BSD) grep sucks, 5-10x slower than GNU Grep for simple searches on the same hardware, but MacOS/BSD wc is fast.
When faced with incomplete data, it's really always better to go back and get a more complete and reliable dataset than to apply a host of statistical tools to that poor data in the hopes of extracting some trend or meaning from it.

> "Fortunately, you have a test that can detect poison very accurately, even among a large volume of liquid. Unfortunately, you have only 7 of these tests available. What should you do?"

You should estimate the cost of getting another 93 tests, consider if a cheaper method is plausible and could be developed at lower cost, then compare that to the value of the wine bottles.

With infectious disease, this is problematic as putting a cost on every individual human life is tricky, even if that's the life insurance business model. As a practical example, the cost of running the CDC's malaria detection program (captures some 2,000-3,000 cases a year from incoming travellers) in the USA is considered worth the benefit of not allowing malaria to become endemic again across the Southeastern US.
FB/IG/Threads openly downrank any political content for good reasons nowadays. There was a thread from one of the execs that I saw a few months ago. I actually like that. Not everything has to be "rage bait of the day sprinkled with geopolitical drama". And whenever I have that itch to scratch, I can just doom-scroll through Twitter.

TikTok is a bit different though, I think they were able to capture the audience and put them in correct bubbles, so if you want to just watch your funny memes, you won't see anything else. But looking at my friend's feeds, they see the opposite - extremely polarizing political content from all the possible sides of the spectrum. It looks like IG Reels has started to eat their lunch, but time will show.

I had a problem with my carrier as well with porting my number over. Attempting to interact with their customer service was a painful loop where nothing was resolved.

After a week I submitted an FCC complaint online (it was very straightforward) and issue was resolved in 24 hours.

During the start of covid I was considering buying a pulse oximeter and it annoyed me that some listings on Amazon were using “FDA approved” in listing and logo and I found it was easy to report them to FDA and their listing was taken down.

One time I was frustrated that a large and popular NYC-based physical store was charging sales tax for clothing under $110 (in NYC clothing and shoes under $110 have 0% sales tax) and I tired reporting to a state authority but I never even got an acknowledgment that complaint was received :/
I know this sounds defeatist but, I don't know why anyone even bothers to report things like this anymore. Meta doing something they're not supposed to do, even after promising they'd never do it again? This isn't news. This is a Thursday.

Our governments aren't going to do anything about it. We all know it. In part because not enough constituents are complaining loudly enough (or, you know; at all) about these companies.

Speaking of; there is a very quick solution to these companies misbehaving: us. We don't even need to cancel our accounts (wouldn't matter anyway, they won't really delete them). Just stop using the services and let the companies know why. Let them know that when they truly take responsibility for their actions and behave then maybe we'll come back. Until then, we're refusing to be good products for them to sell.

But, let's face it, there are too many people out there that foolishly think they can't have a social life without social media despite the overwhelming evidence to prove that's not true. Too many people thinking they can't do without Amazon, Apple, Netflix, or Google, or Microsoft among many others. So, nobody will do or say anything and these companies will continue abusing us.

I mean, damn. If we can't get fired up enough to do something about one of them blatantly showing sexual material to minors then we haven't hit rock bottom from this particular drug.
Yes but there are plenty of ways to do that with R&D, capital write-offs, “business expenses”, reinvestment, etc . I don’t think there are nearly that many for charities and other nonprofits. https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0512/how-large-c...
From my experience, GPT-4 works well with both Clojure and Zig. A lot of it depends on the way you prompt though. For example, asking to start with a C or C++ example and converting to Zig often works better than starting straight with Zig. The same strategy works with Java and Clojure too.

Author here. I spent Thursday evening with my vocal teacher, where we mostly giggled because I couldn't hit the F required to start Billy Joel's "Movin' Out". So yes, it was most decidedly humorous hyperbole, and it has been taken this way by like, everyone that's not on Hackernews. Genuinely astonished that it isn't as obvious to other people as it was to you, but something I learned quickly is that you simply can't control how your words are perceived, and it isn't possible to waterproof sufficient long-form content.

To be honest, this is kind of nice, because my girlfriend recently told me that I'm "extremely unthreatening" because of all the improv theater, fencing, music, reading, and writing. Now I know at least a few people on the internet are threatened by me. I'm a loose cannon, on the verge of totally unrestrained violence. I'm two steps removed from a dinosaur, and if someone looks at me funny, who KNOWS what'll happen.

> The core principle of computer-science is that we need to live with legacy, not abandon it.

I feel like the author misunderstands what a "core principle" is. This here is (at most) a bitter lesson learned from several decades of experience. It's not a principle, it's at best a conclusion following multiple stories of getting rid of legacy systems, but even as that this is highly dubious.
