And if those "Terms of Service" heavily aligns with left-wing ideology? Do we then finally concede that Twitter did, in fact, target or disproportionately affect non-left-wing users? Is our next point of discussion about whether we can allow such a huge societal discussion/debate tool to be aligned with a pre-defined set of principles that 50% of people don't agree with? Or rather, on a set of principles that we can't find more than 50% consensus on?

Either way, this is just like normal government laws. One of the big criticisms that Libertarians have over laws is that they're not universally enforced, so they end up being selectively enforced, which just means that "those with power" wield the laws against those they don't like. Same goes here with platforms like Twitter. The rules are vague, opaque, and their enforcement is seemingly random and at the whims of some faceless entity behind their enforcement process. If we all knew these supposed "terms of service" and they did, in fact, have very clear rules and guidelines then there would be absolutely no room for conservatives or anyone else to cry about being targeted.
it's very bureaucratic, but I'm curious what phases of the process you think we can skip? was the golden age entirely due to lack of procedural burden, or just low hanging fruit?

I agree that it's all a miserable mess, for sure, the solutions are just unclear to me; the relationship between the public and those developing drugs is increasingly hostile due to the need for blockbuster hits and really questionable effect sizes that get pushed due to sunk costs
Ask HN: How do I attract organic backers on Kickstarter
A few months ago I began building a mobile app called Stok. We provide users with a tool to scan in their groceries in order to keep inventory, see when they will expire, and get recipe recommendations based on what’s on hand.

Our goal is to solve consumer food waste (major environmental issue) while also enhancing the grocery/cooking experience.

We have a goal of raising $5,000, but seemed to have plateaued at $1,190. I’m finding that online interactions generate interest but not backing.

What else can I do?

Does any employer factor this in? That's the employee's time/expense, not the company's. After all, SF is one of the cities with the worst traffic (to say nothing of the cost of living)
There's some level of irony related to the first paragraph talking about annoying cookie banners, when theverge displays a full-screen cookie banner "We and our 848 partners store and access personal data".
Not really. Many companies simply can't stay on the field for 20-odd years to get an airframe approved.
10000 a day is indeed a bit much for what is not a defensive war.

The “carry trade” is borrowing one currency (yen) at a low rate, swap it for a currency that is more expensive to borrow (usd), then use the expensive currency to buy assets (bonds, stocks, whatever). The difference between the yield you get from the asset and the cost of the original loan is where the profit is.
There's a branch for "Does the HRE exist" (in the top left corner), which basically says that "territorial maps" aren't well defined before the mid-modern period.
Great ideas - all destined to wither and die on the vine of certification and regulatory approval. A certified Dynon autopilot for a Cessna 172 starts at $26k just for the components - you expect a similar amount for installation and then ongoing maintenance, calibration, and servicing.

Designing and building the technology is the easy part - pushing that technology through testing and certification is the very hard (and very expensive) part. Even if certification is accomplished, all of the follow on risks of determining maintenance standards, component life cycle, and periodic inspection and replacement schedules has to be defined as well.

Then a doped up former major league pitcher decides to hop in your plane and fly it into the ocean and everything you have done is called into question and you end up buried in lawsuits.
This is an awesome tool also for learning the basics of web development.

Yh, 28+16 is basically pretty much all you need for industrial semis.

during one visit to those Zendesk offices an urgent slack message (verily) was sent out advising everyone to get away from the windows, as there was shooting outside.

About 10 minutes later also via Slack the CEO announced not to worry it was simply one drug dealer shooting another drug dealer in the back. Everyone could return to their desks.

I never understood why the company would put its employees in danger until the parent comment.

This is a very anti-Musk thread and generally anti-Musk crowd. Pro-Musk comments should be expected to be downvoted, unfortunately. It's days like these one has to be brave and burn some magical internet karma points in order to present an opposing view and to call out the one-sided discussions.
The downfall of trains is that they require track, which require rights of way. Trains are cost-effective if a lot of people make the same trip, and that's after a massive investment cost.

No one in their right mind would fly their small airplane between two cities that were connected by high-speed rail. But if you're going from somewhere small to somewhere else small, trains will never be a cost-effective (or efficient) mode of transportation.
I'm positing a model where a third party does the influencing, not the company delivering the LLM/service. What's to say that it's an ad if the Wikipedia page for a product itself says that the product "establishes new standards for quality, technological leadership and operating excellence". (and no problem if the edit gets reverted, as long as it said that just at the moment company X crawled Wikipedia for the latest training round).

So more like SEO firms "helping you" move your rank on Google, than Google selling ads.

I'd imagine "undetectable to the LLM training orgs" might just be service with a higher fee.

Isn't the whole problem that it wasn't QA'd out precisely because Intel no longer know how to ship good products? Sure Intel have the resources to make their customers whole on this screw up but the concern is that Intel have had a pattern of poor execution in the fast 10-15 years and this is just the most recent example.

Because it never cost 0.

It's usually wrong to set the y-axis to 0. The whole point of a graph is to illustrate the change that you're talking about. Imagine a graph of global temperature, for example, where you decide to use Kelvin. Set the y-axis to 0 and look! There's no noticeable change at all. Global warming is a myth!

You should set the y-axis so it shows the normal variation and then you can see if recent changes are outside of that.

The ads may pay for the servers and reduced headcount[1], but there is no way that they pay for servicing the $10B of high-interest debt that the company was saddled with.

as someone trained in usability design, it was a nightmare learning to use those maps and learning the minefield thats is to talk to a tower about approach and such.

indeed you are extremely correct. i never broke a sweat with stick and rudder (i did read THE book before classes!) even on first touch and go landings! but everything else that involved towers, weather, other planes, radio, and those damn maps!

so much room for improvement just ignored for the past 30 years with everyone blind digital technology. Heck a freaking lame gps with waypoints is lauded as the greates invention in avionics in the last half century!
On no. 4, it's when things hit the fan and people get overloaded that they revert to basics and don't take in complex information well.

The thing I take issue with in your comment narrative is the idea that somehow music labels don't need (have) marketing any more — that we've entered into a wonderful meritocracy for creativity. It seems naive to not imagine that there are huge sums of money being spent behind the scenes by the labels to push specific artists and buy their popularity.

I have no reason to believe the masses are suddenly no longer influenced by ... (paid) influencers.

That SF's payroll tax exemption was specifically created for Twitter: https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/twitter-will-get-pa...

Here's one summary of it as of last year:

> The infamous "Twitter tax break" provided by former Mayor Ed Lee to lure companies, including Twitter, to mid-Market by exempting them from a portion of their payroll taxes, had its sunset in 2019. Many argued that it did little to revitalize mid-Market — and certainly Twitter former fancy cafeteria didn't help in terms of workers spending money at local businesses — and it just ended up costing the city about $10 million a year in lost revenue.

I have recently started making a concerted effort to eat better due to high cholesterol. My BMI is in the normal range, but at the high end of normal.

Given my recent experience eating better, I think junk is probably even worse than many people realize.

Refined sugars increase appetite astronomically. When I flipped to healthy food, I had a good few days of "suffering" as my body adjusted to lower calorie intake. After that, I never felt better.

My daily calories are something like 1/4 what they used to be. I lost 10 pounds in a few weeks without even trying. My mental clarity is coming back, which I thought slipped a bit due to age. Maybe age is a factor -- but diet fixed it!

Considering that the recent Google code leak only substantiated that Chrome is the honey pot for surveillance and data harvesting that people long suspected, even any supposedly not ad related work is technically also ad related work.

It’s something people have a really difficult time preaching logically, the veil of deception of many things. Another big example is TV, which are ad sales companies, not TV show distributors, even if they’ve successfully swindled people into a mindset where they actually pay the providers, for the privilege of being sold advertisement.

It’s really a rather interesting and eye opening segment of largely the US society that is both extremely dominant and has effectively been extremely damaging, and yet, people simply cannot see that they are like mindless drones, being programmed and reprogrammed with TV shows and advertisement.
> Quite a lot of humans are bad at that too. It's not so much that AIs are markov chains but that you really want better than average human fact checking.

Let's take a particularly ridiculous piece of news: Beatrix von Storch, a MP of the far-right German AfD party, claimed a few years ago that the sun's activity (changes) were responsible for climate change [1]. Due to the sheer ridiculousness of that claim, it was widely reported on credible news sites, so basically prime material for any AI training dataset.

A human can easily see from context and their general knowledge: this is an AfD politician, her claims are completely and utterly ridiculous, it's not the first time she has spread outright bullshit and it's widely accepted scientific fact that climate change is caused by humans, not by sun activity changes. An AI at ingestion time "knows" neither of these four facts, so how can it take that claim of knowledge and store it in its database as "untrustworthy, do not use in answers about climate change" and as "if someone asks about counterfactual claims relating to climate change, show this"?

I suppose we're done here then, we don't agree on the terminology and there isn't much to be done.

It isn't important but if you can point at large community who uses capital allocation in that sense I'd be interested to know it. It seems like a weird usage to me because it would seem to imply that a fully (or even heavily) planned economy either doesn't have capital or don't allocate it; both flawed implications.

> I think the part that I vehemently disagree with is calling that a "market misallocation".

I didn't. I've been quite specifically talking about US government policy causing capital misallocations. The US bankers are generally very keen on the idea of getting richer and the US wouldn't have the sort of real metric stagnation it has if the policy settings weren't visibly stupid. Indeed, even then the market has attempted to reset the situation multiple times (politically interesting examples are '07, introducing Bitcoin and SVB's failure) and generally been stymied by active interventions to keep incompetent investors wealthy.

From where I'm standing, it looks like when Dorsey was CEO, leftist accounts got more leniency and were more likely to not be banned after being reported for offenses—be them legitimate or not; this was the opposite for accounts on the other end of the spectrum. When Musk took over, this phenomenon was completely and totally inverted. IMO.

Useful context:
Open ai had 11 cofounders.
Schulman was one of them.

Schuman was not the original head of ai alignment / safety he was promoted into it when former leader left for Anthropic.

Not everyone who’s a founder of an nonprofit ai research institute wants to be a leader/manager of a much more complicated organization in a much more complicated environment.

Open Ai was founded a while ago. The degree of their long time success is entirely based on their ability to hire and retain the right talent in the right roles.
I remember one comment from during covid when the supply chain was messed up (possibly from Intel) saying productivity could be improved a lot for non-leading edge chips by getting designs off relative ancient processes to relatively recent, which would let the industry modernize old fabrication plants. It requires work for that new design though, and moving away from thoroughly tried and tested
