Yeah, I was thinking why featured article's author did not use Forsyth–Edwards Notation (FEN) and more complicated chess prompts.

BTW, a year ago when I used FEN for chess playing, LLMs would very quickly/often make illegal moves. (The article prompts me to check has that changed...)

It is a remarkably complex issue to take a stance on, because most voters don't seem to do any particular research, don't have any understanding of cause-and-effect between policies and outcomes and are easily swayed by lies. Does allowing ad spending on Google push that messy equilibrium towards a better result or a worse result? I contend it is impossible to say with certainty but political ads are likely a net win for voters. They're going to be misinformed by political ads, but also by silence. At least with paid candidate messages they know what the candidates think is popular.

But this is a good outcome for the EU nonetheless because Google is a US company and the EU is based in Europe [0]. EU and US interests don't always align, examples like Nord Stream stick out. Or the trade and tariff battles. Putting US companies in charge of EU political communication seems like insanity.

I don't really do any twitter style social media but just from checking the occasional post I can tell it's taking off because angry right wing trolls have started appearing in the replies.

I'm guessing the technical and social response to that (ignoring and blocking seems to be recommended, dunk-quoting their idiocy actively advised against) will determine the long term success as a useful site.
- No pay-for-attention model.

- Third party clients available.

- Blocklists and other more sophisticated custom moderation available.

- Threads and profiles accessible to non-logged-in people (note that you can read the linked post and its replies without being logged in; on Twitter you at minimum couldn't see the replies, and depending on the account/phase of moon might just get an error for the actual post.)

- Less deranged leadership (at least now that Dorsey has flounced off).

- Blocking works.
I partly agree but feel you’ve conflated a few things:

- Laws are best when abstract. This is true. Laws work best when they cover a class of behavior, not specific behaviors.

- Requiring informed consent is good. This I disagree with with because it is a hard to measure outcome. Abstract, yes, but to the point where nobody knows what it means. The only way to meet this in spirit is to go so far overboard that nobody can ever say you didn’t try hard enough.

- Mandating that huge populations spend time to make informed case by case decisions. This is like mandating pi=3. As soon as this became the goal the whole enterprise was doomed. The only way this happens is with notaries and witnesses , which is far too heavy a burden for visiting a website.

The whole thing is noble intent, but disproportionate to the problem and not aligned with the putative goals.

Regulation can be good, and it should be abstract, but it cannot mandate abstract outcomes. Imagine if speed limit signs said “speed limit: optimized balance of reduced time to destination and net cost of carbon emissions and amortized risk of accidents”

Considering how much of YouTube's "content" is right wing conspiracy nonsense, can't see how this is going to move the needle much.
There is a kernel of truth in that, but lets not forget, that laws alone don't have any consequences. It is the willingness to force people to comply with the law, that has the actual consequences. If our judges and governments and forces in general are not willing to pursue violations of the law, then we can have any law we want, it still won't matter. We do need more law enforcement on GDPR! A lot more.
I recommend that you step away from "research".

Slight tangent—have you noticed how call center support seems to be doing just this? Yesterday I had a call to a health care provider’s billing department on behalf of a client. I said that after logging in, my user has no permissions other than to see my user profile. The CS listened and then replied, rather than paraphrasing what I said, they generalized to suggest I was having problems logging in. Uh. No. I’m logged in; there’s just nothing there.

I see this more and more in my interactions. Juxtaposed to the handful of vendors who have virtual CS who prompt you to describe _the reason for your call_, it seems these other vendors are working to develop these assets using the CS department to manually label every call.

This might be wrong, but based on my own experience of Ubuntu effectively uninstalling itself when I tried to remove a single package.

I think most of the default software gets installed as one large package group, rather than as individual pieces of software. Only the group is marked as manually installed, but the individual programs pulled in by that group are marked as automatically installed. If you try to apt install something you already have as part of the default distro software, you'll usually see a message saying something like "marked as manually installed."

When you go to uninstall one program from the group, that one program is uninstalled as requested, but the group itself has to be marked as uninstalled, since you've removed one of that group's "dependencies" and thus can no longer satisfy that group's installation requirements. You now have a load of software that was automatically installed as dependencies of another package, but are no longer dependencies of any manually-installed packages. The next time you run apt autoremove, it'll remove all of those automatically-installed components and leave you with an almost bare system.
There has been a strong trend towards async communication though, which does help a lot.

Before it was all phone calls, in-person interactions, live TV and Radio... Both for work and leisure, now you have more options than ever to take things at your own pace rather than letting external factors dictate how you arrange your time.

I think we hit peak "speed of life" in the late 20th century to be honest, much of this is grass-is-greener thinking, we have made great progress in terms of day-to-day personal freedom.

Life has never really matched this idilic ideal of the village farmer. Things were very rough for most of history, everyone was constantly stressed to keep up with their minimal necessities to live, it was not in any way relaxed. And the industrial revolution hit ~250 years ago, with much more strict schedules and much longer work days. This is not a recent phenomenon in the least.
Perhaps that's not the question you should ask. You might want to ask "what is your advice based on?" instead. If you do so, you evaluate the conclusion by focusing on the quality of the argument, not features of the argumentator. You would agree, I suppose, that good medical advice could be given by non-doctors, and bad medical advice by doctors.

I think you’re confusing two things: third culture kids who grow up in multiple places while not feeling at home in any of them; and bilingual kids that grow up in a smaller number of places/one place but still speak multiple languages because of their ancestry, etc.

The former group has more issues fitting in, while the latter seem to be just fine. Certainly plenty of people in Europe speak more than one language natively and don’t feel like they lack a home. And it’s not like there is an actual country where only deaf people exist. So the idea of avoiding bilingualism seems totally absurd to me, especially when probably the majority of the world has some level of bilingualism by default.
This isn't really a conflict unique to membership in the deaf/hearing communities.

You can be the kid who stayed on the farm or the kid who left the farm for the big city, but you can't be both. You can be the kid who spends half the year on the farm and half in the city, or the kid who went to the big city for twenty years before returning to the farm, but those are different things.

We all only get one life to live. All we can do is try to pick a good path and enjoy the stories from people who picked different paths. A person who picks a hybrid path doesn't get to fully enjoy either path, but they do get to enjoy some of each, and they get to be the storyteller who tells the city kids about the farm and the farm kids about the city.

Depending on the situation, it's necessary to check the status of the patient every hour or so. If a condition carries e.g. an increased risk of stroke, there is no way to check for it except asking the patient to move and talk. A good night of sleep is valuable, but if you wake up with a severe paralysis and after the time window that allows e.g. removal of a clot, it's been too high a price for a few nights of good sleep
Hey I watched that tv show too. With the charismatic head doctor and the brilliant yet quirky interns. Small world.
Right. To me, this is the "agency" thing, that I still feel like is somewhat missing in contemporary AI, despite all the focus on "agents".

If I tell an "agent", whether human or artificial, to win at chess, it is a good decision for that agent to decide to delegate that task to a system that is good at chess. This would be obvious to a human agent, so presumably it should be obvious to an AI as well.

This isn't useful for AI researchers, I suppose, but it's more useful as a tool.

(This may all be a good thing, as giving AIs true agency seems scary.)
I was sure there was EU laws as well as big tech policies against misinformation / fake news nowadays, maybe I was wrong, maybe there's no oversight, or maybe money trumps principles/laws. I'm disappointed, given that it's no secret that foreign interests (e.g. Russia) are funding / pushing these divisive misinformation campaigns.

Ironically, me saying it's Russia pushing divisive campaigns is in itself a divisive statement to make, therefore, mission successful?

[Karl Nell](https://www.linkedin.com/in/karl-nell-98203510/details/exper...) - too many positions to list, but one of the most notable was being a senior technical advisor to the Army's future command.

I don't disagree that congress gets lost in conspiracy theories, but almost never do people pandering those testify under oath in public, or privately to the intelligence committees or ICIG. You should open your mind and take a deeper look than the headlines.

As long as were exploring wild theories, how about this one: Aliens smarter than us have colonized earth and are manipulating our information sources so we are not aware. Further, every once in a while they "give" us discoveries to advance our technology in a controlled manner. Perhaps we're captives in what is equivalent to a zoo.

I find that more pleasant to imagine than aggressive/hostile aliens that could probably destroy our civilization in about 17 seconds, though that would have the benefit of solving all of our problems in one fell swoop.

One thing that Bluesky has over Twitter is the first-party concept of a moderation list; people can maintain lists of accounts, and people who trust those lists can use them to mass-mute/block the people on the lists. This actually used to be a somewhat common user-driven behaviour on Twitter (I once managed to offend Milo Yiannopoulos on Twitter, back when he was still a darling of the far-right, and use of mass-block-lists was the only way to remove the hordes of angry teenagers from my at-mentions), but it was always clunky due to lack of first-party support, and post-Musk it became increasingly difficult with the death of the API.
> it was a law written by people who don't understand tech

On the contrary; data protection law was written precisely by those who understand tech and the dangers of companies using it to gather and share your personal data.

It's utterly bizarre people get annoyed for being asked explicit, opt-in consent to gather and share personal data on a case by case basis (as the law demands!), rather than get annoyed at the scummy SV adtech surveillance capitalists for seeking to share your data without consent.

(Once again, "cookie banners" are not required if you aren't tracking me or gathering personal data. Case in point, Hacker News sets cookies and is entirely compliant with no need to ask any permissions from me)
