It explains why most people seem to disagree with you on what "delivery" and "you" mean in this context. For the majority of contexts, "delivery" means that a system responsible for de-duplication receives the message.
No, but US trademark law has something like that.
Great! I agree 100%. We have to assume a "reliable network" within a "boundary" (i.e. a computers CPU, memory, busses etc...). Distributed systems (from which these rules are taken) are specifically systems where anything within one of these "boundaries" is considered a "single node" and treated the same, whether it's a NIC, a kernel module/driver, a user space process or anything else.

In our case if we were to take (for example) that the NIC would de-duplicate the messages for us, anyone writing the producer/sender and a user-space program for the receiver a would need to know that the NIC was doing this (or risk having messages dropped for failure of including a unique id).

This is a pedantic point, but I would strongly stress that the only reason these "delivery rules" are so popular (and evoke such a reaction) is because of the very large number of times that programmers mis-understand them.

Commonly they either assume that:

* the network is reliable

* something else will guarantee "exactly once delivery" for me (when in fact nothing will)
I don't think you realize how many of the accounts you interact with online are actually bots.
You seem to be missing the point though. Wanting "exactly once delivery" in practice is like saying, "I shouldn't need to worry about dedupes at the application level". Which is everyone's dream, but the seniors are saying, "yes, you have to handle it at the application level, there is no way around that".

None of your sources are studies with a strong causal link between flossing and dental health. People who floss do have other good dental habits, so there's definitely a correlation that exists. And remember, I'm making no claims either way, I'm specifically stating the current scientific evidence. I personally floss.

> if you have received duplicate messages then by definition you have been delivered that message more than once

Yes. So? If you don't include a mechanism for ensuring exactly-once delivery then you will not be guaranteed exactly-once delivery. But if you do, you will. It doesn't actually require a Ph.D.
Another red flag. I cannot take any project serious that has this on its documentation.

> Third, that AI technologies won't be perfect substitutes for actual human-to-human contact.

I think that, unfortunately, they will eventually become better substitutes. We are at a real crossroad where people are actively choosing to forgo human interaction for pure digital interaction. Add real digital intelligence that does a better job of interacting with you than real people do and it isn't hard to see how things are likely to go.

The thing about ChatGPT is that it's not very good at producing essays.

I think its that normally biz leaders manage to seem reasonable (maybe they aren't), so they seem like level headed "we will explore this option" type of people. Often they don't really understand it because they have MBAs not degrees in fields.

Most people who work there would tell you the primary value they have at the company is that they hold the purse strings. Nothing else.

But now, possibly because they took a prompt from some AI, they exuberantly shout about how they "love AI" and you get that bad feeling when you see someone and you know they were taken in by a snake-oil salesman selling a pyramid scheme...

So the facade has dropped and everyone's just like "oh wow, I guess <level-headed company> is run by idiots"...

Why do people keep saying social media is just a database?
I probably don't, but there's definitely a lot that are poorly hidden. My point is not that the general population, or me in particular, are some sort of genius about detecting bots here, but that it's not clear to me that people care about the good ones and are turned off by the obvious ones.

Of course. Brazilian politicians, even the literal brazilian government's official accounts, used to get fact checked on X on a pretty much daily basis. I have videos of our current president straight up admitting to a journalist that he invents numbers on the spot.

These are the "authorities" who would presume to condemn you for posting "fake news". In the 2022 elections, I witnessed these judge-kings censor people for associating Lula with the Venezuelan dictator. Then I had to watch him literally roll out the red carpet for that very same dictator only months into his mandate. More recently I watched as he supported the dictator's "election".

I don't care, bro. I'm a white Australian-American. The idea that either side is committing genocide is laughable and belies complete legal ignorance. But saying that doesn't mean I don't know which side I want to win, on ideological grounds.

I'm sure the Israelis have also come to the conclusion that almost nobody cares, and they have to mostly look after their own interests, which is good - the sooner they open their arsenal properly against Hezbollah and Iran the sooner they can end things, instead of trying to fuck around with the UN and pointless resolutions and an international law game that nobody cares about.
In the short-term. But google is training a whole generation that everything they touch is shit. I know a lot of engineers who won't touch chrome if they aren't testing something. I have the same feeling about android games.

Also this. I pretty much follow accounts I know the owner of. If they've swapped out their posting with an AI, sure, maybe it's fooling me, but I'm generally not interacting with just random people online in the same way I was 5 years ago.

Tinymind: Open-Source Blog Publishing Tool with GitHub Storage
I've built Tinymind, a tool that transforms your GitHub into a blog and memo storage platform. It requires no server setup and syncs all input directly to your GitHub repository.

How it works:
1. We create a public 'tinymind-blog' repository in your GitHub account.
2. You write content on our webpage.
3. It automatically commits to your 'yourname/tinymind-blog' repo.

This approach ensures seamless content creation and data persistence.

That is a "beard" they use to legitimize a large terrorist group that murdered hundreds of Americans. Fires on civilians, killed children and is conducting a war with Israel without the consent of the people of Lebanon.

One of the "victims" was an Iranian ambassador to Syria. They are an arm of Iran serving their interests within Lebanon which are in conflict with the interests of the Lebanese people. They fight Israel but then hide behind civilians within tunnels.

For once they became a direct target without the ability to hide behind anyone. Just recently there was declassified intel on them planting bombs within Israel trying to assassinate politicians. They already bootstrapped a phone in the past too.

The reason they have popularity is due to funds they get from Iran which they use to provide loans to poor people. To make this even more attractive they push for a situation of dependency and poverty so the poor would be even more dependent on their loans. Lebanon is in deep distress (financially and politically) and these are the a*holes pushing for it on the behest of Iran.
I'm sorry people are being such utter jerks about this. Honestly, the comments on this are an embarrassment. Even if you are wrong, there's absolutely no call for the tone a lot of the comments are taking.
Several generations ago I saw a teardown of a then-current smartphone and marvelled that very little of the available space was electronics: most was battery. There's been a similar trend in laptops.

More recent phones have switched this around somewhat, largely on account of the multi-component cameras which actually occupy much of the available space. But other than that, you could characterise the guts of a smartphone as largely being a battery with some electronics attached.

And they're hardly the limit for miniturisation. An HN submission last week featured the world's smallest computer ... as of 2015, which is roughly the size of a grain of rice:

<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41547378>

<https://ece.engin.umich.edu/stories/michigan-micro-mote-m3-m...>

The principle challenges with electronics this small is finding ways to power and interconnect them.

The power problem largely solves itself if what you're distributing calls itself a battery. Heck, plenty of batteries already have management systems on them to deal with charging and thermal management, so an additional chip (perhaps concealed as a capacitor or resistor) isn't going to draw much attention. TFA mentions this:

It turns out that almost every lithium polymer pack has a small circuit board embedded in it called the PCM or “protection circuit module”. It contains a microcontroller, often in a “TSSOP-8” package, and at least one or more large transistors capable of handling the current capacity of the battery.

So now you have to distinguish benign vs. malignant circuits.

Any explosive / weapons payload is probably a larger concern. That might be explosive as used recently, or potentially a chemical, biological, or radiation mechanism. Again, TFA details how that could be incorporated into the battery layers themselves, alternatively they might be an additional package within a battery. Cylindrical cells in particular could conceal shaped charges.

And those batteries could go into anything. Phones, walkie-talkies, baby monitors, electric toothbrushes (shaped charge, consider the possibilities), flashlights (handheld or strapped to a head, either would cause considerable or lethal harm).

Or all manner of technical, professional, and/or military hardware, some of which might have far larger batteries as part of various components, which of co-opted could have significant effects.

I'm pretty sure that RU and UA are taking copious notes presently, if not other parties.
>> if you have received duplicate messages then by definition you have been delivered that message more than once

>Yes.

Okay, I'm glad we agree that delivering something multiple times and discarding the duplicates is not exactly-once delivery.
Yeah, but that just seems like a bizarre definition on which to base the claim that you cannot have exactly-once delivery. Obviously, if you define delivery to preclude de-duplication, then you can't have exactly-once delivery. But you can have something that delivers messages (for some reasonable definition of "delivers") exactly once. It seems weird to define delivery in such a way that such a system does not provide exactly-once delivery.

Sure, but that feels like a lot more work than most bot makers are putting in. I'm not claiming folks have 100% hit rate on detecting bots, but the run of "disregard instructions" memes have shown a good amount of pretty low effort bots. It takes a lot of work, patience, and practice to make a bot that feels human. I don't doubt that there's influence operations out there that are putting in the effort, but just like I still get spam email about V1AGRA multiple times a day, it's not clear the cost benefit is worth it for scammers and influence operations to pay the cost in LLM tokens to do that just yet.

Do you have any input on anything after my first paragraph?
I think there is a decent chance that the Market of Lemons incurred thanks to LLMs and such does have a real chance of playing out as described. There are obvious off-ramps that may be taken to avoid the predicted outcome, but those most likely to try and guide users onto those off-ramps are also those most invested in the underlying tech that will lead to a road to nowhere resulting in the Market of Lemons.

One thing I did take exception with is one of his possible influences that lead us to avoid a death of the online interaction. "that AI technologies won't be perfect substitutes for actual human-to-human contact" is, on its face, a compelling argument but the fact is that humans rarely look for "perfect" solutions to anything... especially in the social sphere. There is a non-trivial number of people right now that are using virtual companions driven by the questionably convincing ChatGTP LLM who howled in anger and pain when the company who created and sold the tech decided to alter the companion to be less overtly sexual. Sure, even in a pre-Internet era some of those fixated upon such companions would have found some other evolutionary dead-end but a large number of them would have engaged in satisficing behavior to find another human and reproduced.

What we face now is a noteworthy population of humans that opt out of the complexity of human relationships and reproduction because an over-powered chatbot weaponized their empathy against them and made them a genetic dead-end.

I'm hardly advocating for some Butlerian Jihad, but I would suggest that we need to think about the potential ramifications of a social Market of Lemons that is also operating in parallel with a technology that offers a satisfactory empathetic alternative to that Market that is also a Lemon in the long term for humans.

If nothing else, it provides a neat basis for a sci-fi premise.

The most interesting idea for me was about whether something similar could emerge within already existing states, performing some of their functions but otherwise hybridizing with them. Remote work and starlink and so on open up some geographic possibilities for networked communities.
>Why would a program running in Linux are more altruistic (for lack of a better term) than one running in Windows?

It's an entirely different culture. Windows users are used to paying for software (starting with the OS), and Linux users aren't. So the monetization strategies are different. For Sublime, that seems to be primarily a Windows program that tried to cross over, so it's not surprising it would reflect that history.
OP here. I started out in a very niche small local software industry thinking they didn't do evil like the big corps did. The old guys who started the company were in great control. They just wanted to do the same stuff when they were new college grads (just minus the punch cards). Business growth was dead. Salary didn't even keep up with the inflation.

Then I took a QA position in a big corp after spending my 20s not saving any money. Even this manual/automated testing role qualified me for a 50% pay increase from the old job without salary negotiation. No dev shop took me after seeing I was clueless in recent tech stacks. After a few years, I was tired of the manual testing part and looked for a new job.

Then I had automation roles in a few local companies with increasing DevOps components. The companies are progressively less rigid so they are good in letting us exploring and using new tech stacks.

My belief in not doing "evil" in my 20s has hurt me financially and career-wise in the long term. I didn't read industry news before I turned 30. The QA job, even if the company had some controversies, was a savior to stop beating a dead horse.
I like it. Needs further improvement, but it’s better than what existed.
I didn't want to tell you, but there is a thing called copyright. That said, if you copy SVG it is often easy to change the paths etc. and make it "yours".
I guess I'd rather pay a small bit though.
As you have described it, you are right, it's not. But presumably the thing discarding the duplicates then does something with the non-duplicates, like deliver then to something else. That is exactly-once delivery.

This prompt is not even tied into the underlying TCC system; it's basically purely decorative. Failing to respond to the prompt, or responding "Open System Settings" to the prompt, does not even revoke the existing permission.

The prompt is also not even tied to the application bundle's code signature; tampering with the signature will not re-trigger the prompt. Nor will the prompt be re-triggered even if the application's entire bundle ID (com.example.example) changes.

No; the only way to re-trigger this prompt for an application is to rename the app bundle itself. That's right. Renaming Test.app to Test-dumb.app will trigger the prompt when nothing else will.

This isn't really worth criticizing that much because the prompt I think is designed as purely like a "don't forget about this" type of measure, and not one tied into actual security. But also that speaks greatly to the design challenges facing the TCC system more broadly, that this type of thing is seen as necessary.

The main confusion I see is that at-least-once delivery on a 99% reliable channel can be erroneusly called exactly once delivery 99 out of 100 times. It could be reasonable depending on the scale of your communication exercise, but if you have hundreds of thousands of receivers then asumption will surely start to fail.
