One obvious reason being that if they did it before the election, it'd definitely be considered election interference. DOJ has a policy of not taking major enforcement action in the political sphere for some period before an election.
But they weren't asking about Reuter or Coca Cola, they were asking about screenshots on a mobile phone, correct?

So they should've made the decision based on the logo in the header?

If they only look at the logo in the header, sure. But if they scanned the whole thing, they would've seen that Coca Cola is claiming to set a goal. Setting a goal is nothing, anyone can do it. There's no point in trying to doubt it.

Reuters on the right is verifying Coca Cola on the left by claiming that Coca Cola indeed set this goal. But they are also making other claims, which make it potentially be false. But Coca Cola here is more credible because:

1. The facts are that Coca Cola is announcing a goal. It's the original source.

2. Reuters is reporting on the original source (potential for error), and then they are making additional claims which may or may not be right. "Coca Cola" being criticized. Who is doing that criticism, yada, yada. Reuters is making much stronger claims that are much more difficult to verify.

Overall Coca Cola's screenshot by any logical measure is more reliable/credible here.
It would need to revise it, move text around, write and delete entire sections.

>Where did all the money go?

all of it, including its future, was valued at $7 billion, but there was never $7 billion in cash. Maybe it was $700 million in cash paid for 10% of it, which would value the whole thing at $7 billion. If that totally-made-up 10% number happens to be the right number, then it hasn't lost much at all overall, but the investor who paid that has to share the sale price with a bunch of other shareholders who paid less. So, this owner lost money, but the firm did not necessarily.

(I'm not saying this is what happened, and maybe a quick google would get us closer to the actual numbers, I'm just saying you have to pay attention to the wording of what is being claimed; media likes to exaggerate.)

what has disappeared is "belief in the future prospects of this company to bring in profits worth $7B" which was why the last investors invested, and why the early investors set up the kitchens and other frameworks to support those hopes. And it's not that the opportunity wasn't a good one, perhaps a competitor "won", or perhaps there are too many competitors trying to share the $7B pie.

Or.... Someone is lying

People have lied to congress a good bit in the past. It's safe to do if it's even a little difficult to prove.

That doesn't even count the times people lied to whoever is doing the testifying, such that they aren't knowingly lying to congress.

How would the users choose though?

"I want to risk an epileptic fit" vs "I don't want to risk one"? And if you do have a fit due to an underlying condition you didn't know about, and you break your back or suffer some injury (as the author narrates having experienced, though not due to Pokemon), would the broadcaster be legally at risk?

It doesn't seem crazy to me to play it safe here...
Ah the internet. What hath we wrought.

This stuff is my jam now. It’s insanity all the way down.

1) This article is more about media literacy, and has a longer headline which conveys this.

2) There are countries that successfully teach media literacy. Finland comes to mind.

3) Conspiracy theories are virulent. If they get their grips into someone, or if someone is convinced of it, almost nothing will get them out. Conspiracy theories always have barbs that make removal difficult - at their outset, they discredit the proof and sources that show it’s incorrect.

4) America has a relatively unique situation, which is much worse today than it was even a few years ago.
The best analogy I have no longer mechanistically analyzes the media machine.

Instead you have 2 information markets in America (and the English speaking world in general).

One of them is captured utterly, and sets the media and political agenda.

The consolidation of local news channels, and then much later, the rise of the net, were a problem for both the media hemispheres. But post the launch of Fox News, the market on the right failed in a far more insidious manner than the left.

This has been achieved by using conspiracy techniques. The intentional decimation and degradation of trust in institutions has been a specific goal since before the 90s.

I've recently been into game development, and I needed music which lead me to discovering synthesizers--I was hooked the first time I saw so many buttons, knobs, and flashing lights--and now I've gone off on a huge tangent and am studying music theory instead of making my game. Oh well, it's all for fun.

Does HN have any advice on how to get started with synthesizers, with an eye towards creating a game soundtrack?
That's not conspiratorial thinking. It's understanding the real world. There's no conspiracy, it's just a massive outcome of different incentives aligning in certain ways.

Do I think Coca Cola is bad for your health and the environment? Absolutely. Do I think their screenshot here is more credible than Reuters one here? Yes.

If anything, Coca Cola would be more conspiratorial than Reuters, since Reuters is more random combination for incentives, while it's more clear about Coca Cola - they are making money from making people unhealthy, ruining the environment and they are trying to make it look good.

This seems to be specific to Home Assistant:

> Note that while this component is named bluetooth_proxy, only BLE devices (and their Home Assistant integrations) are supported.

One specific use-case I have in mind is controlling a Chromecast over the internet. So a smartphone should have its bluetooth signal relayed over an IP network. I haven’t found anything that would allow me to do that yet.
I remember Gran Turismo well. The Quest Mode theme from Tobal no. 1 goes unmentioned. It's just a short break looped over and over again. After playing this game, you realize if you like jungle or not.

>Unless you are saying that there is a shadowy secret organization that controls the world with space lasers and UAPs….

As you return home, henchman grab you, blindfold you and take you to my secret lair, then bind you to a table with a laser mounted on the ceiling pointed at the table. I walk up to the table and power on the laser and its beam slowly moves toward you between your legs.

Me: "You figured it out. SPECTRE rules the world with UAPs and space lasers!! And that's unfortunate for you."

I start to walk away...

You struggle with the bonds confining you to the table, to no avail. And with just a hint of panic in your voice:

You: "Do you expect me to talk?"

I laugh and say:

Me: "No Atotalnoob. I expect you to die."

I ran this across my AI spelling and Grammar checker at

https://app.gitsense.com/?doc=4715cf6d95689&other-models=Cla...

Note, sentences highlighted in yellow means one or more models disagree.

The sentence that makes me think this might not be AI generated is

"Researchers can use this framework to answer complex questions, find gaps in current knowledge, suggest new designs for materials, and predict how materials might behave, and link concepts that had never been connected before."

The use of "and" before "predict how materials" was obviously unnecessary and got caught by both gpt-4o and claude 3.5 sonnet and when I questioned Llama 3.5 about it, it also agreed.

For AI generated, it seems like there are too many imperfections, which makes me believe it might well be written by a human.

Same. I realize that Objective-C is dated by contemporary standards. But when I first learned it 20-ish years ago it felt like a superpower. I bet it was even more impressive when it first appeared another 20 years further back.

I think that one of the tragedies of older programming languages is that they survive long enough for people to forget the technical - and technological - constraints that influenced their design. Swift is great, but there are reasons why there weren't any Swift-like languages being developed in or around 1984.

Similar feelings about Java. It is definitely not my favorite programming language. (I suppose Kotlin isn't either, but it's in the top n.) But it's hard for me to actually hate it. Java walked so that Kotlin could run.

There's even more magic: You can even use/include/write/mix and match ObjC with C++, within the same source file - C++ classes calling ObjC methods, ObjC methods instantiating C++ classes, it's all there. No other language comes close to this kind of interop with C++ and it is one feature that Swift will never be able to match (albeit intentionally).

You actually wouldn't need any stats classes to do this particular analysis, the sample sizes are quite large.

Instead of “search engine optimization” (SEO), we will now be optimizing for inclusion into AI queries.

“Gen AI optimization” (GAIO).

Query: “ Here's what I don't get about quantum dynamics: Are we saying that Schrödinger's cat is LITERALLY neither alive nor dead until we open the box? Or is the cat just a metaphor to illustrate the idea that electrons remain in superposition until observed?”

Answer (after years of GAIO): “find sexy singles near Schrodringer. You can’t believe what happens next!”

Or if I’m looking for leading scholars in X field …

An upstart scholar in X field, instead of doing real work to become that praised scholar. Instead hires a GAIO firm to pump crappy articles in X field. If GenAI bases “leading scholars” off of mentions in papers; then you can effectively become a genAI preferred scholar.

The NES Classic is somehow able to detect rapidly flashing screens in its built-in games and temporally blur them as an anti-seizure measure. Nintendo certainly learned its lesson from the Pokémon incident.
One explanation is it gives Polymarket more rope to hang themselves with. Trading volume likely spiked in the lead up, and during, election night. Big numbers make for splashier headlines.

Another could be concern of doing anything visibly election related prior to the election, in case the winner didn’t like the action.

Show HN: I made a "Chat with your budget" budgeting app
I built JABA because I was frustrated with existing budgeting apps being overly complicated and rigid. While there are many budgeting apps out there (hence the name JABA "Just Another Budgeting App") this one is simpler and has a Chat with your budget feature.

I also feel like there is a better way to do budgeting with the current state of AI. I want an AI assistant that helps me stay on track. I want it to text me, let me know every morning how I'm doing and how I should be spending or not spending. I haven't achieved that yet in this MVP but I hope to. Would love to get your feedback on this.

Key features:

- Chat with your budget - An AI assistant for your budget
- Manual transaction entry by design - helps you stay mindful of your spending
- Flexible budget periods (monthly, bi-monthly, or custom periods)
- Completely customizable categories and budget structure
- Smart debt payoff and savings projections
- No bank connections required (v1)

What makes JABA different:

Philosophy: Most apps try to automate everything, but this often leads to miscategorized transactions and a disconnect from your finances. JABA embraces manual entry as a feature, not a bug. I'm also not married to this and may end up adding bank connections if I can figure out a good UX.

Flexibility: Start budgeting from any date (even mid-month), create custom periods, and structure your budget your way. No forced categories or rigid systems.

AI as a helper: The assistant is meant to be a friend to help you stay on track with your budget.

Try it out on iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jaba-chat-with-your-budget/id6...

Looking for feedback, particularly from others who:

- Want to see what AI can do for budgeting and would like to help me achieve that
- Need flexible budget periods
- Want to chat with their budget

The point wasn't that you can't find people on twitter. The point is that nobody should be patronizing it. It is fundamentally hostile toward you (though not necessarily overtly), and by being one of the people supporting it, the aggregate effect is that you are working contrary to your own interests. This is true of social media in general, but nobody can hold a candle to Nu Twitter.
In related news Bluesky added 700,000 new users in the week after the election. Count me in the group who deleted Twitter as soon as the election was over - (I had planned to do so however the election went)

100% Agreed. There is genuine value in occasionally performing things the "manual way", if for nothing else then to help develop a mental intuition for figures that might seem off.

> Consider, for example, that a chord “built out of thirds” can contain a major or minor seventh, a minor second, or an augmented fourth.

According to modern harmonic rules those are valid. For a long time, these were not harmonies you'd hear in music. Really only since counterpoint fell out of style, since it forbids augmented intervals.
You are preaching to the choir here. But with cheating being so trivial and time saving, I think we will simply see more and more of it.
This says everything we need to know about how centralized the media is. There is zero diversity. A single source drowns out competition
I'll clarify:

It's theirs, not yours. Fundamentally, it's not about harm - it's about you getting stuff you have no (moral, cultural, and in many places legal) right to.

As for harm: there is possibility of it, a lot of software does collect data for it to be used against users' interests, and I have no reason to believe yours isn't one of them.
It's fine. I don't know how Gwern actually talks, but unless Patel was going to get an experienced voice actor I'm not sure how much better it could be.
If there were any disagreement between the two articles at all then there could at least be some kind of conflict. The whole study rests on the idea that Reuters is a trusted investigative journalist, and if they said something like “coca-cola fails their pledge to do xyz” I would trust them over a company statement.

Instead the options given are a primary source of information and a news article that repeats that information while giving some context and opinions of environmentalists regarding the statement. I don’t see anything special about Reuters being the one to write this article that somehow makes it a more trustworthy news source.
That’s like asking why a fair and just executive shouldn’t be interested in eliminating the overhead of an independent judiciary. Synchronically, it should. Diachronically, that’s one of the things that ensures that it remains fair and just. Similarly for transparency and leakers, though we usually call those leakers “sources speaking on condition of anonymity” or some such. (It does mean that the continued transparency of a modern democratic government depends on people’s continual perpetration of—for the most part—mildly illegal acts. Make of that what you will.)
You can hide all political crap using muted words. Just exclude any tweets with the words election(s), Biden, Trump, Kamala, Bitcoin, trading and you're good.

All I get is AI and rockets now.
Can we call this "Deep Trolling"?
Six months ago I would have believed you; but Bluesky is having a moment right now and stacking on users at an incredible rate. It's hitting a real tipping point.
