When I was five years old I would walk along a path and take a bridge across a river to visit my friend to play board games. By the time I was nine I was bicycling forty-five minutes to school on a 80 km/h road. The level of paranoia that's infected people around keeping kids near their parents is insane.

It's rather conspicuous that the most well-known use of AI systems in warfare at present, the Lavender / Gospel / Where's Daddy systems used by the IDF, don't get any mention. It's true that LLMs are not the central component of these systems, which have much more in common with Google's targeted ad serving algorithms, in the broader category of machine learning, but a no-code LLM interface is a likely component.

In defensive red team scenarios, such an LLM system could be used in all kinds of nefarious ways, using prompts like "provide a list of everyone associated with the US nuclear weapons program, including their immediate friend and family circles, and ranking them by vulnerability to blackmail based on their personal web browsing history" and so on.

Scraping data is not illegal. Everything a human can see, can be legally scraped.
Optics are not dumb. Corporates are very noisy. It is difficult to extract the signal from the noise if you're not working on a project full-time (as most people are, except for you, the tech lead), and it will definitely not happen by accident. That's why you need to manage optics.
Very fun! I'm always a big of things being viewed as other things—no idea why though!
I'm not sure I know what a "submarine ad" is.

I don't really know any other WGU graduates in person, so it's hard for me to say the quality of student is "worse" and than anywhere else.

Obviously I am biased, but I don't think I'm appreciably dumber than the average student who went to a brick and mortar school, but admittedly I'm a pretty weird dude who did use WGU as a "rubber stamp" school for me. I finished quickly, though I don't feel like the work was "easier" than when I was learning shit at Florida State, outside of me being a decade more experienced in it.

I'll agree there's definitely selection-bias with WGU for students who underperformed in high school, which can translate to poor work performance. Hell, I underperformed in high school due to at the time undiagnosed Major Depressive Disorder, so I am grateful for something like WGU existing.

It's tough to say. I think if you're in a position like I was, WGU is fine. It is there to demonstrate that you have a Bachelor's worth of CS knowledge; if I were 18 again and had had medication for depression, I would probably apply to some of the nicer public UK schools (e.g. University of York, Manchester, etc.), if I'm being honest, but until someone invents a time machine I'm stuck with the world as it is, not how I want it to be.
Apparently not knowing where your kid is IS the crime. Which is rampant in the countryside, RAMPANT!
That's a reasonable explanation. Thanks.

> Also it's worth noting that the "Discover" feed is trained specifically per person so while the defaults aren't great, if you use the "show more like this" and "show less like this" options on posts (under the triple dot) then pretty quickly it tunes in towards content you care about vs content you don't.

This is the first time I clicked "Discover". I haven't logged into BlueSky for almost two years.
It's a pity that compression is likely to provide subtly different data under different network conditions. If everything were lossless we could just use hashes as identifiers and proceed without the participation of the apps.

After all, they have no incentive to make this easy for us.
The Twitter bot situation only seems to have got worse since they shut down free API access. LLM engagement farming bots everywhere in replies, hordes of scam bots replying if you use certain keywords, porn bots following and DMing everyone non-stop...

Evidently the people running the bots don't really care whether or not you give them an API to work with.

That anandtech article is from 2014. And the wikipedia article contains a similar claim, but un-citationed, as far as I can see. Do you have any links to recent articles that confirm that this is still the current state of things?

I have a chromebook that doesn't have video-out ports, but a relatively basic USB-C hub with HDMI-out port sufficed to get it connected to my HDMI monitor. Not sure if that's a counter-example, or something else entirely, but it may be relevant either way...

That Plugable adapter is interesting -- the page doesn't claim it's an "active adapter", and it only costs $15. In my mind, "active adapter" always translated to "costs $50 or more".
Huge social media sites are not going to be legible without some sort of preference function from the individual. Whether that's follows, hashtags/keywords, or engagement-oriented algorithms, that's the way. If you're not the kind of person who enjoys socializing In The Large that's fine. That's what topical sites (like Reddit, HN) or group chats are for.

It would be illegal for them to sell AirPods in many countries without these lockouts. The sale of medical devices is heavily regulated in most places.

> Building and querying the quadtree is intrinsically heirarchical

Glad to see I am not the only one having problems with hierarchy.

Interesting work at many levels (no, no pun): starting with the bluesky data availability, the processing and the visualization algorithms.

But its not quite clear where to place these visualizations in the data science spectrum. Conventional numerical graphics have (over time) developed a sophisticated grammar that allows fairly precise reasoning and inference. So they are heavily used in scientific publications, in the financial sector etc. for real information transmission (People might even reverse engineer a plot to recover data!).

With networks and graphs, besides a general feel for the topology / connectivity or clustering its kinda hard to pin down what is the transmitted information. Not clear if useful grammars covering such large graphs are yet to be invented or if this is the nature of the beast.
Nothing. A precedent determining that scraping is legal is already established.

"When America’s missing children are featured in popular culture, it is usually the cases of stereotypical kidnappings, which happen to be very rare. […] The third NISMART study found that approximately 105 stereotypical kidnappings occur every year in the United States (Wolak et al. 2016). That is still 105 too many. The general public may estimate a much higher number of this type of case, based on how often they are portrayed in ﬁction. […]

The rare kidnapping cases may be the most known of missing children cases, but are the smallest category in number. Looking at the broader nature of the missing child problem and considering the full spectrum of the missing, including endangered runaways, children taken by family members, lost and injured children, children thrown out of their homes, and children separated from their families by natural disasters and catastrophes, the number of families having a missing person increases exponentially. In 2018, there were 424,066 new reports of missing children entered into the National Crime Information Center, the computerized index of missing persons and criminal justice information (NCIC 1984, para. 1), which works out to about 1,162 new cases of missing children every day (NCMEC 2019c, para. 4). […]

Despite what many people believe, a child can be in real danger when abducted by a family member. Family abductions are cases in which a family member absconds with the child, preventing the other parent from knowing the child’s location."

I heard that 4 or 5 US states have passed laws to broadly protect parents who let their kids range around.
This is certainly true, but doesn't mean that they aren't hugely popular [1]. We (me with young children) used to call out "Driverless Car" whenever we'd see one, but it is less interesting when you may see 15 over the course of a 2.5 mile, 15 minute drive.

There's something extremely sick about the modern attitudes to children in the US (and maybe elsewhere). These people are fucking crazy. They can't imagine a world where children actually exist out in the real world and live their life like every other country instead of only in supervised jail schools. Anything approaching affection or concern for other children is seen with suspicion as if its pedophilia. Everyone hates babies or children existing or making noise in public, we don't accomodate parents or children in any way, while watching population growth collapse. Boomers who lament never having grandchildren are called monsters. We are completely losing the fucking plot on the most important responsibility of humanity. There is nothing without children, no future, only immigration which will eventually run dry or extinction. None of these attitudes towards children exist in other places, it doesn't have to be this way.
This kind of incident is a microcosm of everything that's going wrong in the western world
Small point of clarification. It's not feasible to do it safely. It's absolutely feasible to do it well enough to provide the illusion of safety though. There's various companies (Nuro, Vay.io) teledriving vehicles on US public roads right now. Waymo and others simply don't do it because of the obvious safety issues.
Just shooting without knowing your real needs - take this with a grain of salt.

Store some parsed representation that makes it easier for you to work with (probably normalized). Keep an archive of raw data somewhere. That may be another column, table or even S3 bucket. Don't worry about schema changes but you need to not lose the original data. There are some pitfalls to schema migrations. But the schema should be the representation that works for you _at the moment_, otherwise it'll slow you down.

So your theory is what, malice?

Apple makes AirPods the cheapest hearing aids by a long shot, except for some customers that they hate?

The problem is simple: hearing aids are regulated products, and countries tend to insist on individually certifying them. Getting the right to market AirPods as hearing aids in the US wasn't cheap, I'm sure.

There needs to be international harmonization of these regulations. It isn't just hurting Apple and Apple's customers, it hurts everyone.

Perhaps Apple has decided that it's too expensive to pass those regulations in certain markets, but my bet is that it just takes longer in the EU and India. I guess we'll see.
"legal" doesn't imply that Twitter/X won't send a C&D due to scraping that is expensive for a normal person to fight. Moreso if Twitter/X invokes the CFAA which has been common for scraping cases post HiQ vs. LinkedIn.
I get that each person will decide if it's worth it or not, but $29/month isn't really anything in the big picture of what you are paying the people who will be using it.

Might be nice if there was a free tier for small non-profits, volunteer orgs, student orgs, etc. but a lot of things might be nice.
It was about "hate speech" though, not "unpleasant speech", then you'd be right.

Stop thinking in us/them, everybody hates someone or something and that's fine. That's not what hate speech is I think. Take one example from the Canadian govmnt:

> The bill defines “hate speech” as the content of a communication that expresses detestation or vilification of an individual or group of individuals on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.

> These grounds of discrimination are race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, genetic characteristics, disability, or conviction for an offence for which a pardon has been granted or in respect of which a record suspension has been ordered.

It's Time to Act on Pilots' Mental Health (2024)
Is it a regulatory issue? Could it be the hearing aid feature has an AI/voice recognition component trained on certain languages when it runs the "enhancement"?
(no idea, just wondering, since the apple page had zero details)
Yes, but.

For all of the happy survivor stories like yours (and mine), the reality is that the rate of child accidental deaths has steadily decreases over the past few decades as parents (and society) became more protective. That isn't to say I agree with over-parenting and eliminating independence -- I don't -- but there needs to be rationality applied as well as personal values.
Regardless of the danger or not of getting in a strangers car (and in comparison to getting into a known person's car), children are taught to not do it.

Why don't they deprecate some of these features? If they're such easy stumbling blocks, seems like it makes sense to disable things like table inheritance in new schemas, and require some kind of arcane setting to re-enable them.

Monitored by whom? This is insane.
Hey, sorry I didn't see this comment earlier.

I think there are a few historical reasons:

- We are only 50 years out of a dictatorship

- We were late to industrialism

- Our main business sectors are bad (tourism, agriculture, textiles)

And a few law/cultural reasons:

- Lots of buroucracy and inefficiency + high taxes means making a business here is impossible (I've sold a company that I incorporated here so I'd know ahah)

- Bad education and lack of incentives for companies to be here means younger talent leaves for greener pastures across EU and the US. We call it "brain drain".

- Because all the young talented people keep leaving, the only remaining people are low-income workers or old people (we're a very old country). Old people keep voting the same corrupt parties into power so nothing ever changes.

- There's a big "crab mentality" about people who are wealthy being evil.

Extra:

The party that played the biggest role in getting rid of our dictatorship was the communist party (that's literally their name, Partido Comunista Português), so in Portugal communism is good, and capitalism is bad.

There's lots of talk about taxing the rich here, but the truth is that there are no rich. We only have ONE billionare. If were to tax 100% of our rich we wouldn't be able to run the government for more than a couple of weeks.
Could you please explain why you believe this to be the case? One of the major advocates of 'free-range parenting' (and who allowed her child to ride the New York Subway unaccompanied) is a frequent contributor to a leading libertarian magazine (Reason). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenore_Skenazy
Good old USA of course. There was another body cam footage of an eldery woman who was arrested for merely walking along the road.

I don't blame anyone in the story, this is yet another symptom of the US sprawl, car centric culture, and capitalism that leaves people desperate without any safety net.

Super interesting. I have been reading Cleopatra: A Life, recently, and it is amazing to think that the Egyptian civilization is measured in millennia. For reference, this tomb is about 2 millennia older than the rule of Cleopatra.

Complete side note, but the other articles on that news website are full of clickbait and sensational news. So kind of surprised to also find this article on there.
I could have put it better, I think. But that's basically what I was driving at. Whether I'm off base calling him a 'weird crank', or have to behave as if he has more legitimacy (which will be difficult, though I could try harder), he's very much on record as wanting to ban and stop many things that in his mind are like terrible crimes against citizens.

I'm not uncomfortable lumping a lot of that together as 'medicine'. For instance, we know vaccination in general raises his ire, but he also seems to object to pasteurization. If he remains in a position to be able to ban that practice, it could be a significant driver of health-related issues. And I do think he's in a position to be able to ban or at least substantially punish the practice of pasteurization, vaccination, flouridation… it's unclear how much influence the man will have, but it could be a great deal.
