If you're referring to Gonzola Lira, the dating coach blogger known as "redpillcoach" who blogged about how feminists were destroying society and how to neg any girl into your bed, the only "news source" that is suggesting some kind of Ukrainian murder of him is Tucker Carlson. Along with Russian media of course.

He died of pneumonia after being arrested in Kharkiv for publishing pro-Russian invasion literature (maybe you don't like that law, but it was the law). He was freed on bail after his arrest but tried to run a checkpoint and exit Ukraine, violating his bail conditions. What you call "exposing uncomfortable truths" was just him saying Ukraine is Russia, calling the military Nazis, and calling for Ukrainian surrender.
I used to care about this. But I feel like at this point PI at least about US citizens has been stolen or sold so many times, so unless you made some serious changes, does it really matter at this point?

Hey HN!

I'm working on Homebase, a weekly newsletter spotlighting solo founders and small teams building potential AI unicorns. In an easy-to-digest format, we feature founder stories, their biggest wins, and behind-the-scenes perspectives from the AI startup world.

Our goal: to provide deeply interesting content about the challenges, innovations, and strategies in the AI startup ecosystem.

We're going beyond surface-level coverage, focusing on:

- Tech stack choices that make or break these startups
- Growth hacks that actually work in the AI world
- Emerging AI trends and how small teams are making a massive impact

We're aiming to be the resource I wish existed when I started exploring this space. No fluff, no PR spin, just hard-earned insights from the trenches.

What content would you find most valuable? Any specific aspects of AI startups you'd like to see covered in-depth?

Here's one of our issues for a taste: https://homebase.so/p/tool-that-translates-spoken-words-into...

Thanks, HN! Your feedback is invaluable.
If/when the accountability starts to become inevitable, that gives them lots of bus-fodder, then.

One thing that I have learned (and, no one else seems to have learned), is that Accountability begins and ends at the top.

It doesn't matter if it was a "rogue employee." The top head is Responsible. That's (ostensibly) why they get paid the big bucks (or so I'm told, but never shown).
At least half of that he did entirely on his own. Nobody told him to hole up in the Bolivian (wasn't it?) embassy for seven years.
Sure. And I wouldn't be surprised if e.g. Micr.. OpenAI can manage to brib.. convince a judge to make government to enforce this by force.

But how ML is at least currently developing, other megacorporations and universities are only a year or so behind OpenAI etc, and publishing their weights and models. Of course disregarding training set IP because otherwise keeping up would be impossible.

If the media and advertising megacorporations manage to get a ban on training on IP material, Micr.. OpenAI would be a huge benefactor, as they could afford some weird licensing deal on everybody's data and the actual open efforts would be extinguished.

Luckily US hegemony is fading and many other powers DGAF anymore what a US judge says. Or a WTO judge, because USA kind of destroyed WTO themselves already.

All recent coups in Latin America (and several coups outside) follows the exact same script: overthrown the government and say that is temporary and you will organize new elections. During this time, use propaganda, media, repression and sometimes new laws to weaken the overthrowned group so that they will lose the elections. Foreign countries that support the coup can just initially say that they are worried with the "crisis", but then will rapidly recognize the new elected government, avoiding the embarass of openly support an obvious dictatorship.

This same script is being used at least for 20 years now (I remember being used in Equador). But its last part failed in Bolivia.

> "Slava Ukraini" should not be a political or offensive phrase, unless you are a genocidal maniac supporting Putin's mass murder.

Ask the poles what do they think of it. Are they all "genocidal maniacs supporting Putin's mass murder"?

Bandera and his OUN carried out massacres and ethnic cleansing of a hundred thousand Poles, plus we don't know how many Jews. It was the slogan of the OUN so yes it is a highly offensive phrase especially if you are Pole or Jew.

I couldn't care less if modern Ukraine adopted it as a national slogan. If Germany decided to adopt "Sieg Heil" as a national slogan, that would still make think of Hitler every time I hear it even though Germany is now a democracy.

> Lemkos then and now generally had a pretty high opinion of Bandera

Some Germans still have a pretty high opinion of Hitler, some Italians of Mussolini. That doesn't make up for their crimes.

> > a liberal attitude like yours.

How accurately can they really de-orbit such a colossal object with so many parts that are bound to break off?

Is this a “it’s fine, they can model it so well that they’ll target a couple hundred square kilometres in the middle of the ocean” thing or a “pieces will be spread across many thousands of kilometres, but it probably won’t hit anyone because the earth is really big..” thing.
That's quite a question. Lambda might take your email mainly for notification(this feature is still underway). As for privacy, I can guarantee you that lambda does not generate feeds like traditional social media apps do. Lambda just takes a list of users whom you are following and shows their latest posts. This way it does not tend to use any AI model to generate a feed for you that depends majorly on click-through rate.
They're all learnable skills. But I guess my point is if it's taking 95% of the effort, it's probably the wrong path. But when you've already put the effort into that one game, it's hard to see yourself marketing a different game.

It revealed some hypocrites who lack integrity. The main effect, if any, of their exposure was to pave the way for other hypocrites who lack integrity to take over the positions of power and influence of the former.
Why Apple is now in the server market
No. AI firms are a good example of precisely why copyright was put in place.

Right now, AI is taking people's original works and rehashing them in a way that directly competes with the original work. Some AI firms (e.g. perplexity) just have their LLMs paraphrase the work lightly.

This is a problem because it drives original work out of business. Even setting aside matters of originality, artistic value, and AI being vapid slop:

Gen-AI is and will remain a derivative work that is reliant on original human-made work

ChatGPT is not going to do investigative journalism. If we let AI push all journalists into bankruptcy, the news just becomes an endless sewer of PR statements recycled into AI slop.

If you don't want Google's woke "diverse nazis" to push real news into bankruptcy, copyright is needed to stop them.

I actually live in Eastern Europe, and no, that woman doesn’t care about the iPhones in the hands of celebrities and there is no Apple Store here, and the top shop that specializes in Apple products is mediocre and has bad reviews. In fact, there are no Apple Stores in a lot of countries. [0] There is also minimal advertising done by Apple - although there is a ton by Huawei (how well do you think that works?) iPhones are popular because they’re perceived as a high quality product from a dependable Western company. Not because they have billboards and celebrity sponsorships.

You really don’t seem to understand how widespread Apple is, and instead are intent on portraying yourself as some kind of expert that puts down others. Their popularity isn’t merely due to some brand strategy plan, as their products are practically a baseline of modern life at this point.

I didn’t say anything about “utility” I said their products were higher quality, which they are. Especially on the design/UI front. People buy them because the competition simply isn’t as good, among other social reasons. A mastermind branding plan is not really that relevant when you’re already as widespread as they are. Nothing I wrote has anything to do with customers doing tech research.

So just to reiterate and wrap up this conversation: no, Apple is not widely used because their branding team crafted a smart campaign for every corner of the globe. They are widespread because they’ve been making solid products for a long time, people use them, and then form an impression that they’re quality products. All the advertising and celebrity sponsorships and everything else are dressing at best.

This is a unique situation and if you were talking about anyone other than Apple, I’d agree with you that the market positioning / PR is key, but in this instance it’s simply not the case.

> Certainly Congress has the power to strip jurisdiction from the court for anything that isn't covered by Article III.

You don't need the "for anything ...." part of your sentence: The Exceptions and Regulations Clause is part of Article III and explicitly gives Congress the power to limit the Supreme Court's appellate jurisdiction in pretty much all (federal) cases:

<quote>

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. [That is, the Supreme Court is the trial court; in those cases, SCOTUS practice is to appoint a "special master" — typically, a former SCOTUS clerk — to hear the case and submit findings of fact and conclusions of law for the Court's consideration.]

In all the other Cases before mentioned [i.e., all cases where federal courts have any jurisdiction at all], the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

</quote>

(Emphasis and extra paragraphing added.)

Moreover, because all lower (federal) courts are creatures of Congress from the get-go, there's no reason to think Congress can't limit the jurisdiction of those courts. Congress has repeatedly done this in the past by creating specialty courts, e.g., the Court of Federal Claims and the former Court of Customs and Patent Appeals (merged into the Federal Circuit in 1982).
If you think for more than a few seconds on the matter, you quickly realise that intellectual property is a moral necessity, because intellectual expropriation (which is what you are really talking about) would destroy a major incentive for positive contributions to society.

Everything political is rooted in morality, and while it is easy to point out political challenges on the topic, intellectual property is ethically an unambiguously good concept.

The phrase "Slava Ukraini" predates the OUN by actual decades. There are plenty of people in Ukraine, particularly East Ukraine, that have personal objections to the mythos of Bandera as a national hero that still use the phrase, as it was coined in the Ukrainian War of Independence. Comparing it to "Sieg Heil" is utterly disingenuous. Regardless, your summary of Bandera and the OUN is delusionally ethnocentric and clearly biased against Ukraine.

> I generally call this behavior that of a junkie

and most people that voted in favor of prohibition would say that everyone that drinks alcohol must be a public drunkard, I guess. Usage of ether is a tradition on par with drinking in at least one part of the world. It is a little more dangerous, given ether's excessive flammability and low flash point, but inhaling some ether does not make anyone a junkie. America doesn't have a tradition of ether at all, and it is the only country where there are shambling masses of xylazine/fentanyl zombies defecating in the streets. Maybe you could all use a little more traditional ether consumption.

This is an egregiously bad clickbait headline that implies SpaceX is building something nefarious. This is for a planned end-of-life deorbit in several years and technically it is not the craft that will destroy it (that's the reentry's job), it's to do the deorbit in a controlled way.

Remarkably enough it seems so. Unfortunately I've never been in a place where 1. I needed its particular skillset 2. It was the best candidate for the job.

I guess it would break up at some point, and the timing of that event would affect the re-entry characteristics. It seems like a challenge for modelling, but maybe it's possible to put upper and lower bounds on the ballistic coefficient.

I think in discussions like this it's often helpful to think of Lambda not as a technology but as a product. Lambda isn't "CGI with extra steps", it's "CGI with per second billing", which is a rarer offering.

I've dealt with problems from python-dotenv and very much prefer it as a command than as a library.

As an example, once I changed a .env fikr and unit tests started failing. Digging deeper into it, and lots of code was checking for .env to load its configurations, and would break without it. I'd prefer this not to happen, as our tests were executing based on outside, not version controlled, configurations.

After removing dotenv as a library and using it only as a command, we were able to separate configuration and logic, and not have .env files affecting our unit tests - we simply ran the application with dotenv command, and the unit tests without.

I'd need to see the numbers on something like this. Just saying "Someone said it would work" isn't good enough for me.

In my life I've seen so many cases of that, and then, lo and behold, the reality isn't even remotely accurate. An example being UBI, for which there is literally no way to pay. Or ridiculous assertions of "just tax billionaires!" to pay for it, which won't even cover one year of UBI.

So when someone says "just change to a flat tax", without some raw data I balk.

For example, "compliance costs"?! Just what compliance costs are these? Are you planning to get rid of social security, and medicare taxes on pay cheques too? Fine, but I once pondered that many government jobs are little more than paid welfare.

Just what do you do with all those people that really cannot work well outside of a government, structured, coddled job? My point being, that "compliance costs" are no where near as much of a cost as you might think, as typically every penny paid comes back in income and other taxes, and also gets spent domestically on everything from groceries to car repairs. Those jobs aren't free, but they are not even 1/2 the price they appear to be.

You want to talk about a "compounding effect", that's what government workers are.

But regardless, the feds raised 4T this year, and 42% was income tax, and another 22% for social taxes, eg medicare, social and what not. If you're going to move those taxes from the "pay cheque taxed and income tax cycle" to "consumption tax at the till", then you'll need to replace 65% of existing taxes, which are >4T. Might as well say $3.5T at the federal level alone.

Here:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/249137/us-state-and-loca...

Says total revenue at the state AND county level is $700M.

Here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_Stat...

Shows an interesting graph, with some of the larger economic states, hovering at the top. I'm going to spitball and say 8% average. (The top 10 US states population wise, have more than 50% of the population, and that's why I'm going to poke it at 8%).

So $700M at 8%, is 3.2T at 24%. That's surprisingly close.

You are going to have to watch the black market though. Yes, it already exists.. so what? It will exist more. Especially with shipping stuff in from Canada, you're going to have to have to have "duty" of "federal state tax", otherwise everything will flow, shipped from Mexico and Canada.
