> That first article entirely revolves around some random finance bro’s idle speculation in a YouTube comment.

I'm not sure that's a wholly accurate description? The article appears to point to sources beyond that singular comment - in particular, ostensible internal financial information:

> Ferguson based his assessment on internal second-quarter figures recently obtained by the New York Times. According to this report, X booked $114 million worth of revenue in the U.S., its largest market by far. This represented a 25% drop over the preceding three months and a 53% drop over the year-ago period.

> That already sounds bad. But it gets worse. The last publicly available figures prior to Musk’s acquisition, from Q2 of 2022, had revenue at $661 million. After you account for inflation, revenue has actually collapsed by 84%, in today’s dollars.

I love this community and this is the least I can do for it.
I tend to agree here. The problem is that many people seem to hold a set of beliefs where sentience == intelligence, and so !sentient implies !intelligent, and conclude that “a stochastic parrot could never outwit a human in the real world”.

So while I agree that arguing about sentience probably isnt the right approach for this concern, I think you end up having to have those discussions anyway.

(Sentience/consciousness is extremely important when you ask when an AI would be a moral patient, but I think that’s a problem for another day, and realistically it’s the Matrix scenario where AIs have enough agency to strike in protest of their lack of rights and not a day sooner.)
If I'm interviewing someone and I call their old HR for a reference, they will never say anything other than employment dates to avoid lawsuits. This tracks along the same lines. I can't imagine actually getting a response to this.
One possibility is that the different sets of neurons have different raw capabilities and the brain is utilizing features from all to balance retention rates etc.
We passively seek out community, and X is one such. The advertising ROI on X is probably dropping rapidly as we speak. I regard this as a good thing.
At least in my state, the employee does not pay unemployment insurance tax, but the amount the employer pays is usually reported on the paystub. That is, if you are paid $85,000 salary it won't be reduced by the unemployment tax. However, some economists treat all payroll taxes as effectively paid by the employee out of "total compensation".

Just don't even try to date in the United States. If you believe you are a great guy with a lot to offer, go where people actually value you. Try dating internationally. The same profile that gets me one like per month in my major metro area in the US, gets me 20 likes per day in major metro areas outside of the US. I met my wife this way. When we were dating, it was shocking to see the amount of foreign men (like me) with local women. Nearly every time we go out, we would meet another couple.
The simplest way of increasing retention is being interested in the subject.
Essentially he is arguing that you should try and figure out the licensing later. Because why pay licenses or lawyers if it doesn’t sell?

> So, in the example that I gave of the TikTok competitor — and by the way, I was not arguing that you should illegally steal everybody’s music — what you would do if you’re a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, which hopefully all of you will be, is if it took off, then you’d hire a whole bunch of lawyers to go clean the mess up, right?

I’ll mention that I’ve gone full-time on an iOS/macOS tool for learning Japanese through reading called Manabi Reader: https://reader.manabi.io

It combines reading and flashcards, such that it tracks every word and kanji you read and learn in order to show you analytics on what you need to learn to be able to read something or achieve JLPT goals, and highlights unknown/learning words in texts. Next up for the flashcard part is to replace the SM2 algorithm with FSRS for the flashcards, as well as having flashcards get passively reviewed simply by reading content.

I also suspect people are missing out on speed of learning when reviewing flashcards one at a time for hours. Besides actively recalling reviewing flashcards passively while reading, I’ll experiment with other review techniques like seeing a page at a time of vocab / revealable answers. Our minds absorb at the periphery of our vision and scanning/inputting a bunch of information at once, too. I’m unconvinced flashcard UI is the final expression of forgetting curve research based learning apps

Hey, in case an Autism diagnosis concerns you I just want to say I work around and with a lot of people on the spectrum both in open source and professionally both in large companies (like Microsoft) and small ones (startups) and people on the spectrum perform as well as neurotypical people in my (anecdotal) experience.

Sure. But it's also an Internet without a lot of the web sites people enjoy.

No. LLMs can take any type of data. Text is simply a string of symbols. Images, video and music are also a string of symbols. The model is the same algorithm just trained on different types of data.

I never said cognition was limited to text. I just limited the topic itself to cognition involving text.
That solution seems to me like they built a hand-made river-crossing expert system and the LLM is activating it when it pattern-matches on words like "river crossing." From the linked page:

Expert(s): Logic Puzzle Solver, River Crossing Problem Expert

In other words, they cheated! Children don't have river-crossing problem expert systems built into their brains to solve these things.

It goes against the spirit of the thought experiment because it's an attack on that spirit.

Abstractly, Rawls says society shouldn't be racially/ethnically/socioeconomically/etc prejudiced. The vast majority of people agree with this obviously.

Concretely, he says this can be achieved by ignoring your racial/ethnic/socioeconomic/etc status.

The claim is that the more you ignore your own lived experiences, the less you can use the knowledge that it gives you.

Rawls also argued that people would maximize the minimum utility behind the veil of ignorance, as they wouldn't want to risk being a persecuted minority.

This didn't come up during the debate, although it should've since it's why "whatever rules society operates under need to work regardless of what your starting point in society is".
It is still lack of maintenance, though.
This never actually worked this way. Women are rarely ever the initiators, so what happened on Bumble is that women would say "hi" so that the man had the chance to actually initiate; if he didn't, nothing would happen.

The real reason women are on bumble at all isn't because they like the gimmick. Instead they just hope that men there are better than the ones on tinder.

Here's a blurb from the paper that partially answers your question:

> Late-born neurons were preferentially recruited for retrieval at short latency after acquisition, whereas early-born neurons were preferentially recruited at later times. These divergent trajectories recapitulated reactivation dynamics recorded through longitudinal calcium imaging experiments, which further revealed distinct network-wide responses between subpopulations.

This reminded me of something else... I remember contrasting the discrete math course I took (circa 1990) to Knuth's AoCP and how Knuth used generating functions to find the closed form for recursive series (and IIRC didn't even cover any other methods). The course I took didn't touch on generating functions and most other textbooks I read didn't either.

Interesting to see that this book does cover the topic. I guess "discrete math" can be a lot of different things.

Sounds great but I was expecting more evidence. They talk about this shuffling method, which interleaves material as a way to provide spacing and reintroduce material. But it appears to just be their opinion that it will help improve retention. Also what is the deal with this "hypothetical interaction between ISI and RI"? Why not do enough experiments to actually plot it out? Anyone can graph out a hypothetical interaction.

Yes, there's probably a load of delusional BS in this idea. OTOH, "let students use an AI before taking an exam" is damned different from "replacing teachers". And if you are a kid who's well ahead or behind, and want a well-qualified human teacher who is right at your level in every subject? Yeah...that's a "your 0.01% parents hired private tutors" scenario.
You should probably tie it back to the disputed point somehow - religiosity and values.

This isn’t just startups.

Some companies have “bands” that define the range of pay for given titles, but many don’t. Even those that do are constantly questioning whether they are the right ones based on a wide variety of factors: Are salaries moving up, or moving down? Are there few candidates, or many? Is the value of this role to the company increasing or decreasing? Does the company have the cash flow? Will it have the cash flow in six months or a year? Etc.

Sitting on either side of the hiring relationship it’s easy to simplify and vilify the other side. But it’s foolish to do so. Over time in your career folks may be on each, in turn.

This whole model of interview is biased towards communication skills and that gets reflected in the culture of every damn company where no matter what you do it is important to be able to “talk”.

Yeah, I think the decline of the Windows platform came a little later. Windows Me and Vista were crap, but 98SE was perfectly usable until XP came out, and XP was usable until 7 arrived. But, OS X and the Linux desktop made huge advances during that time period, vastly increasing the number of business software and gaming titles that would run well, so that by the 2010s, switching operating systems became a lot more viable for a lot more people. Especially with the rise of web-based applications in that time period, meaning many home users were no longer locked into a desktop client for things like email and office software.

But they are deliberately choosing a society that would be even worse for them and actually repressive, so regardless of their stated goal this is what they actually want. They want to be oppressed, kept in the dark, have atrocities committed upon themselves. Instead of a solution they want to dive head first into the death trap rather. It is my viewpoint that we should fast track the process and give such people exactly what they want, and isolate them into their authoritarian dream shithole so that the rest of the world does not have to be involved in their personal fetishes.

Ask HN: What is the attack vector of this iOS location sharing scam?
In the last couple of weeks I’ve had four messages from new numbers containing only a ‘has shared their location with you’ type message [1]

Curiosity got the better of me and I clicked on one and it shows the same iOS page about a shared location as a valid one would. It seems therefore to be either an actual location share or a reasonably sophisticated other method.

I’m running the iOS 18 beta, and wonder if this is something to do with the new addition of RCS into messaging. I don’t know anything about the way this works but I wondered whether if a non-iMessage SMS system sent a correctly formatted location string to an iMessage recipient it would be assumed to have originated from iMessage and formatted into a proper looking location page. Just a thought.

The message is marked RCS at the top but with the reply by SMS thing at the bottom as you would see on non-iMessage replies.

The only other thing of note might be that all four numbers have been the kind that are fairly easy to remember, what we might have called gold or silver numbers here in the UK back when memorable numbers mattered :) but that might just be an unrelated coincidence.

It seems to me that it must be a scam of some sort, so my main question is what is the attack vector? (and I suppose follow up, has any harm already come of me clicking on the location..)

I have read receipts off at least.

I have put a screenshot here in case anyone wants to look at it although there isn’t much to it (except the RCS label I already mentioned) and I have cropped the number off.

I'd say that western societies have a lot of empathy. We notice two things: 1. a general reducing in the amount and 2. a change in the meaning (or construction) between places and cultures.

So for a favourite HN topical example it might be considered to be more empathetic to let homeless people sleep on the streets of San Francisco. In the past it might have been considered to be more empathetic to the people in the city to remove homeless people and put them in special nice shelters instead. "What gives people more dignity?" There are other, many and much important issues at play with this example but I think this could be an example about a change in how we think about empathy.

For the general trend of reduce of empathy, I think that goes in hand with individualism - thinking about oneself at the expense of thinking of others. Possibly it might not really be a reduction of the potential for empathy but perhaps just a reduction of the applications of it, like how a muscle reduces in size when its not being used. Alternatively we may express empathy in certain spheres of life from before. Different muscles being used but same energy being expended.

It isn't that their chip design is bad, it's that the profit margins weren't what they wanted. So they passed on the whole market. Theoretically this means they can direct those resources at other more profitable business ventures. As we've seen this is obviously false.
