We need to change the word Privacy to Confidentiality.

Everywhere and everything in the tech world needs to have an ethical framework in place driven by strong legislation.

For me being a retired psychotherapist I have applied confidentiality to my practice for over 20 years.

I not only apply this valuable practice to clients but also to everyone in my personal life.

The old saying: "Without confidentiality there is no trust", speaks volumes about the lack of privacy we all experience today.

I certainly do not trust anything in the tech world.

Extract from the BACP Ethical Framework:

We will protect the confidentiality and privacy of clients by:

a. actively protecting information about clients from unauthorised access or disclosure

b. informing clients about how the use of personal data and information that they share with us will be used and who is within the circle of confidentiality, particularly with access to personally identifiable information

c. requiring that all recipients of personally identifiable information have agreed to treat such information as confidential in accordance with any legal requirements and what has been agreed with the client at the time of disclosure

d. informing clients about any reasonably foreseeable limitations of privacy or confidentiality in advance of our work together, for example, communications to ensure or enhance the quality of work in supervision or training, to protect a client or others from serious harm including safeguarding commitments, and when legally required or authorised to disclose

e. taking care that all contractual requirements concerning the management and communication of client information are mutually compatible

f. ensuring that disclosure of personally identifiable information about clients is authorised by client consent or that there is a legally and ethically recognised justification

g. using thoroughly anonymised information about clients where this provides a practical alternative to sharing identifiable information

Imagine if the big tech companies suddenly created a similar ethical framework for their services.
"No bans" mentioned in a little animation at the bottom of the page, and in the FAQ as a "suppression list"

You will ban people. People will post horrible things. Things you are legally required to not host. The "radically free speech" social media site trope misses the fact that social media is only valuable when it's interesting. Screaming into the void, among others that also want to scream into the void because they can't elsewhere, is not fun.
No, GT/s is not, regardless of the downvotes, please point me to the standard that defines them if I'm wrong. Let's keep using the boring GB/s since we are still talking about data.
This is 100% false. The agreement in which Amtrak was created to take over passenger service, allowing commercial railroads to prioritize freight, they were given precedent[0].

You might think the regulations leading to this agreement were bad, but this is the reality. Legally, the freight carriers do not have priority, and by law they cannot tell passenger rail to "f off".

49 U.S. Code § 24308 (c) Preference Over Freight Transportation:

> Except in an emergency, intercity and commuter rail passenger transportation provided by or for Amtrak has preference over freight transportation in using a rail line, junction, or crossing unless the Board orders otherwise under this subsection.... [1]

Mountains are- a abstraction of our daily lifes. There can be no food gathered up there and no home errected. But you can look on the valleys, where our lifes happen and gain a "outsider" perspective. They make our important things small and put our lifes to scale. And the view down, is as close to space, as we earthworms could get for the longest time.

And a green valley opening up, deep below, half covered in clouds, has something of a treasure chest, opening up.

> Only because the owner knew they'd get in a lot of trouble trespassing people they assume are gay from their store.

Evidence?

> >What he refused to do was bake a cake in support of a specific event

> *refused to treat a gay couple equal to a straight couple

The important distinction here is that Masterpiece did not refuse to service the wedding because the people being married were homosexual in their sexual orientation; he refused to service it because the people being married were of the same sex. Sexual orientation is a spectrum, and does not inherently force you to marry someone of a particular sex; the latter is a choice. Masterpiece's owner disapproved of the choice his clients made and didn't want to express support for it; that is his right.

> and refused to bake a cake featuring two colors because he doesn't like trans people

The pink-and-blue color scheme has a particular ideological implication. The baker didn't want to support the specific ideology those colors represent. Just like a baker might refuse to bake a cake with a red color scheme and an elephant decoration, because they don't want to support the Republican Party. It has nothing to do with who the client is!
A friend of mine had two kittens -- siblings, who were very close to each other. One of them was hit by a car and killed. I had adored this kitten, so in memory of her I did a chalk drawing portrait of the kitten, and brought it over to my friend as gift, about a week after the kitten had died. The surviving sibling had, during that time, seemed somewhat morose and unresponsive, but also kind of cryptic in the way that cats can be. Hard to read.

But when the surviving kitten saw my drawing, he began crying so piteously, reaching out and clawing towards the drawing -- and this went on for most of an hour -- that there was absolutely no mistaking the emotion behind it, and soon everybody else in the room was bawling as well. (Also, I was impressed that he responded to a drawing; it was a decent drawing, but quite abstract relative to (say) a photographic representation. Cats usually seem oblivious to photos in any case, and this is one of the things which confounds animal consciousness research: it's very hard to tell the difference between something that an animal can't do, and something an animal doesn't want to do. I suspect that most of the time, cats simply can't be arsed to process static 2d imagery, because what's really the point of doing so -- but in this case, an overwhelming emotional imperative overrode that natural disinclination, proving that both the cognitive and the emotional capacity is there.)

Anyhow, ever since witnessing that display of emotion, anybody who tells me that animals aren't conscious or don't have real feelings immediately gets ranked -- per my personal hierarchy of the spectrum of consciousness -- as being far below the level of that kitten.

I can't remember the exact book I was reading. I think "Old Man's War" or one of the sequels.

But an advanced alien race captured some humans and was basically raising them like cattle. Inseminating women, harvesting milk, slaughtering for meat. It really affected my perception of how fucked up the whole process actually is.
Maybe "Biblical Support" as in a strict reading of the bible .

But definitely Christians have 'interpreted' the Bible in ways to minimize animals as sub-human, without souls, no spirit, etc...

These discussions are ancient times stand-ins for what today we might label 'consciousness'.

To say the bible didn't strictly discuss 'consciousness' or 'automata' is ignoring that Christians think 'self' resides in the 'soul' so if animals don't' have them, then what are they? automata seems logical, but they didn't have the word for it. What is something that moves around but doesn't have a soul to move it?
This (the last 2 paragraphs) certainly seems correct, but what if the fact of the matter is you have it ~backwards?
I didn’t know they made these models, a good friend works on DoD research and all of his laptops have had the cameras rendered useless with a Dremel.

As for slimming down over time, HTMX 1.0 was 26KB minified, now version 2.0 is 48KB minified. Why has it blown up by 184%, when it dropped IE support? Why don't keep it lightweight? Compare it with e.g. Petite Vue, which is 16KB minified.

> how much livestock is grown and slaughtered specifically for leather

Yes and, I would hope that the majority of leather comes from cattle that are grown and slaughtered for meat. In that case, the amount of cattle put through the meat grinder is a function of both the demand for meat and the demand for leather, but it would be unlikely to be sensitive to both at the same time. I suspect, given that meat has so much turnover whereas leather lasts a long time, that we are meat-bound rather than hide-bound.
Yeah, not available yet or anytime soon, and if it's anything like the JH7110 eval board I tried last year, it's slower than a RPi4 and has some weird PCIe issues that make M2 SSDs behave badly as well. Plus, mainline Linux support was, and from what I can tell is, nowhere to be found.
Good point. The EU was barely a factor in that, if at all.
> what if consciousness were unnecessary for intelligence

Kind of interesting given we are currently in the midst of a revolution in artificial intelligence. From my playing with it, it seems something like ChatGPT is intelligent in the GP sense of "can abstract stuff and respond to new stimulus" but isn't conscious in the sense of having an interior.
They have also brought a lot of new coal power plants online in the past few decades. I'm not sure if they still are, or have shut any of that down.

The problem with increased government regulation of the railroads (including increased fines) is that the railroads are a classic textbook case of regulatory capture. The regulators were captured in the 1880s and there has been no let-up, only increased grip. Remember the "deregulation" movement during the Reagan administration? There are profits to be squeezed, boys, and no amount of government interference can be tolerated: time to make some calls.
>Europe has a lot of passenger rail, and as a result, shorter freight trains, and more use of trucks for transport.

You can't generalise european train networks because they are not monolithic at all. Netherlands, germany and france all have different networks that cannot interoperate. It's a mess for completely different reasons. Switzerland, for example, has one of the best passenger and train networks out there but you can't take a direct train from any european country to switzerland nevermind freight.
Or because it's basically a way for a board maker to have a laptop form factor available for their device.

It's a way for other companies to piggyback off of Framework rather than the other way around, while strengthening the Framework ecosystem.
That's a good question, I'd say you are right but I'm not sure of all the details

(but then again, between passing and actual implementation there's a much to unfold)
> The explanation is simple, conservative outrage over non-issues.

IMHO, that's not an explanation, that's gaslighting. One of the simplest things to do if you do not want to listen to or address someone else's concerns is to simply deny they exist. That's often very easy to do, because those concerns genuinely do not exist from perspective of the person doing the denying, especially in today's polarized and politically segregated environment, and it saves the effort of trying to understand and empathize with someone else's perspective.
> This would have to come from the firmware in the drone looking up what the no-fly zones were.

Nope, it happens in the control app on your device.

No one said it could.
Practically speaking, what am I going to be able to do w/ a risc v board? I imagine a ton of software will have problems with it, at least for now.
Yes, you are an old curmudgeon. Asking people to produce value for their platforms then turning around and expecting them to do it for free is pretty outlandish.

You cannot name an industry where no unscrupulous individuals/companies have sought to make easy money from dubious means.
Some companies like Anthropic haven't publicly released the tokenizer used in their API, thereby making it impossible for this library to use the appropriate tokenizer in all cases. Be careful about how you use the word 'obviously'
Interesting viewpoint, hadn’t thought of it this way. Is there data to quantify this effect?
I expect a ton of false positives.
I'm way out of my depth here but I believe this would function as a very sensitive accelerometer. The rubidium would be still relative to the lasers so when you accelerated, it would have inertia and take some time to catch up with the rest of the device. You'd then integrate the acceleration to find the velocity and integrate that to find position.
Then we should build sufficiently long sidings!

Stick with it on who's money? Not everyone has the luxury if failing multiple times - you need to at least weigh your odds.
I'd really like there to be a study on the secondary impact of long trains. They cut entire towns in half for sometimes 30+ minutes at a time. In Portland, OR, extremely long trains would cut of entire sections of the city, and that's assuming they didn't have to stop for some reason.

It makes it really hard for emergency services to get to where the need to be. At least a couple of times a day, a train would cut Naito in half (the main road running on the west side of the river). The fire station was on one side, and a ton of apartment buildings were on the other. If a fire starts at the wrong time, it'll take 30 extra minutes to get there. Ditto for ambulances. Not to mention all of the impact on congestion in the city, which has tertiary effects on emergency services

> An offer price can change due to market conditions.

This is one of the primary reasons why I avoid any SaaS that I might actually come to depend on. It's a trap that is an inherent part of that model.
> While I wouldn't be surprised if this is technically true in a hardware sense, software-wise, Windows knows where the cursor is before it's finished rendering the rest of the screen

The earlier you sample the cursor position and update the cursor plane, the more the position is out of date once the next scanout comes around, increasing the perceived input delay.

The approach that leads to the smallest possible input latency is to sample the cursor position just before issuing the transaction that updates the cursor position and swaps in the new primary plane buffer (within Linux, this is called an atomic commit), whereas you maximize content consistency with still very good input latency by sampling just before the composition started.

Note that "composition" does not involve rendering "content" as the user perceives it, but just placing and blending already rendered window content, possibly with a color transform applied as the pixels hit the screen. Unless Microsoft is doing something weird, this should be extremely fast. <1ms fast.
And the opium trade. Lots of great jobs there.
I know about the hydrodynamic analogues, and I've seen the double-slit experiment with the bouncing droplet. However, it is unfortunately not a very good model, as it requires changes in the wave to propagate at infinite speed in order to explain other experiments (the ones that fail Bell's inequalities). And that in turn causes many other problems as well. Not to mention, the pilot wave interpretation actually needs lots of work that no one has done yet to actually concur with QFT and the extraordinarily precise experiments that have confirmed the results there. So, it's a particularly problematic interpretation of quantum mechanics, despite having the neat hydrodynamic model.
It's because they're universally required by law.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t read most of that last message yet. No disrespect meant, I’m just tired and don’t think continuing will be a healthy use of time. For either of us.

> You realise that in this discussion, all you have done is to attack SOMEONE FROM YOUR SIDE, with the argument that they should not use their brain and try to find solution.

I did read this part, as the all caps caught my attention. I did not attack you. Disagreeing with parts of your argument in no way reflects on you. Still, my words have seemingly affected you negatively and for that I apologise as it was not my intention. I wish you a genuinely pleasant week.
Yoruba is a tonal language like Japanese. There are a lot of similarities and Japanese isn’t nearly as alien to Yoruba speakers as it is to English speakers.
I don't suppose you know the syscall clobbered list for aarch64 Linux? Can't find it documented anywhere and not sure how to dig it out of the kernel

A sibling comment pointed at https://chromium.googlesource.com/linux-syscall-support/+/re... which suggests none are clobbered outside of the arguments used by a given call which is possible but seems unlikely
>You will certainly notice that talks that go overtime make for a terrible experience for everybody. So don't do that. (You'll need strategies. The simplest is to have "landing points" in the talk, so that if you see that time is running short, you can skip some material to get to a landing point. Obviously, the conclusions slide ought to be a landing point.)

I won't say I've never gone a few minutes over when there's a break coming up and the audience is engaging. But, yeah in general, it's especially rude when the next speaker is waiting to get setup, and that time they're left with 1 minute to plug in will be the time something goes wrong.

You should have a decent sense for pacing of the talk anyway but, as you say, you should also know which material lends itself naturally to "in the interests of time, I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this topic today but we can talk afterwards if you're interested sort of thing."

Conference talks are also different lengths and they've tended towards shorter over time. So, even if you can adjust on the fly to some degree, consider not using the same deck for a 30 minute talk and a 50 minute one. (I'm actually a fan of talks that are on the shorter side in general.)

I have mixed feelings about Q&A in the session itself in general for a lot of reasons. But you need to keep things from getting too diverted or getting down the "more a comment than a question" path. (Which is part of the mixed feelings--it's hard to cut off without seeming a bit rude.)
> The alternative is the freight carriers tell them to f off.

I am sure the owners of the railroads imagine themselves to be bootstrapping heroes of capitalism, but the deal when the United States created the railroads and gave them 175 million acres of land was that " ... the government shall at all times have the preference in the use of the same."
> Neural networks also often prove unstable, with slight alterations in the data they receive leading to wild changes in outcomes. For instance, previous research found that changing a single pixel on an image can make an AI think a horse is a frog.

Oh just going to reverse-engineer the brain, why didn't anyone think of that before

> Today’s neural networks are based on basic neuroscience from 80 years ago. We’ve learned a lot about neuroscience since then, and we want to use that knowledge to advance AI

Huh? I wasn't aware any neural networks were based on biology at all other than the loose activate and fire idea.

> “Once we learn how to build one cortical column, we can build as many as we want,” Hawkins says.

Easy, just have to learn how to do it

> When you look at deep networks, they don’t fundamentally understand the world, which is why if you just change one tiny feature of an image, they often don’t recognize it

Not really true unless you develop something specifically to do this. Also, "understand" needs to be defined

Fluff piece that reads as an ad hoping for funding. Sounds like a money pit to me.
putting the LLM in the loop makes the tooling unreliable. so, the usecases would be limited to those where accuracy is not important.

whereas, a DSL still aims for accurate and deterministic modeling of the specific usecase.

Ask HN: What can you do with the processing power in an iPad Pro M4?
Curious what folks are trying to do/invent/create with the iPad Pro M4. I was looking at the performance benchmarks for that device and they all look amazing, but what can you create with it?

Like is there a startup that can be started by utilizing that to do on-device processing of some kind? Besides some AI inference stuff that Apple talked about, what can you do?
I agree with this. It sounds like OP is looking for friends. Some in their industry and some outside.
It's not the pull that leads to problems. It's the braking. The engines in front might have come to a full stop before the last cars a mile or more back have even gotten the message that they need to decelerate. Do that on a curve going down a hill and the cars in motion just keep going, usually into a river or some buildings beside the tracks. The longer the train, the more the whip cracks.
My understanding is sites like Wowhead get their reference content in an automated fashion to some extent, pulling it from the Blizzard API and the game data.
Not at all. You can go to a website and click a button in less than a minute, and you don't have to do it during business hours, sit on hold, or deal with a pushy sales rep trying to convince you not to cancel (well, unless they do what Adobe is getting sued for).

There is no legitimate reason to limit the options for canceling a subscription or adding barriers to the process. It's always an anti-consumer move. If you don't want your customers to cancel, then don't give them a reason to.
But the entire point of the influencer is to flaunt wealth. Others do something.
I've read a lot of hypotheses about what could have happened.

Some say it was language.

Others say it was the development of consciousness, which came with an improved theory of mind.

Others say it was thinking in what-if/hypothetical scenarios.

Maybe they all developed in lockstep, somehow.
Oh, thanks, I had forgotten about those crazy forthers (forthists? forthians?)!
In every one of these threads based on a Tesla crash, gallons of digital ink are spilled in regurgitated (though not untruthful) generalities. So I'll repeat mine:

1) FSD makes me a better driver. Without it, I'm (uselessly) more aggressive and on the gas because it feels good. With it, it's basically ego-less driving.

2) The headlines are dramatic, but what does the actual data say? Tesla has thousands of miles driven under "full self driving", is it actually more dangerous (in the quantity or severity of average or long-tail accidents)?

3) FSD is surely an improvement over impaired driving, however that is defined. Does this encourage impairment?
