That sounds nothing like "declaring anyone that subsequently went on to be naturalized while living here under these [H1-B] and other programs to have their citizenship revoked." It's more like hyper-strict enforcement of existing law, about making material false statements on a naturalization application.
I'm torn between two reactions:

- 7.5% sounds like a small improvement for a structural change introducing ML profile prediction

- a ~250KB model making improvements in an area where humans have been working for a long time seems impressive

The American Revolution was partly sparked by the "Tea Act" of 1773, which imposed taxes on tea without colonial representation. The colonists saw this as unjust. Fast forward to today, and many people seem to accept high taxes on goods and services as necessary, while viewing tax exemptions as undeserved or privileged.

Perhaps everything deserves a tax exemption, especially cryptocurrency, which operates independently of government control and doesn’t rely on state structures to function.
This is the legal pretext, which appears about 2/3 of the way through the article:

I’m sad for reader but it was a somewhat niche product. Inbox I can’t forgive. It was insanely good and was killed because it was a threat to Gmail.

My main issue with Google is that internal politic affects users all the time. See the debacle of anything built on top of Android and being treated as a second citizen.

You can’t trust a company which can’t shield users from its internal politics. It means nothing is aligned correctly for users to be taken seriously.
You might want to update your model of the political metagame. "Big Corp versus the people" is something like three Hegelian dialectics ago.

Honestly I don't see how this theoretical framework is much different from corporate leveraged buyouts.
>You are telling me that when you roll a 6 sided dice you are not expecting any of the 1-6 as a result?

The statement I replied to wasn't any non-expected result is a bug, it was non-desired output is a bug (hence the joke about not desiring an expected output). LLMs producing "funny" (hallucination) outputs are expected but only sometimes not desired, therefore not a bug in my opinion.

How do you use an LLM in story telling if it isn't allowed to produce fictious outputs?
I've had the same experience. Practically everyone I know primarily uses Facebook Messenger (or sometimes Instagram) for messaging since its available everywhere and has the features we like. We occasionally use SMS/RCS since it has photomojis or WhatsApp for international groups (e.g., all the family overseas). A few folks use Signal.

But its mostly Messenger.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but Dioxus does not use the canvas when rendering in the browser. It uses the DOM with CSS just like any other JavaScript framework does.
But it's not impersonation. Jones was ordered by a court to give up all the Infowars assets, including the brand and the associated social media handles. The sale is on hold for legal reasons but that's beside the point.
FWIW SQLite has 3 developers, and I don't think it's even full-time for all of them.

I appreciate the detailed response. I had a feeling the answer was some variation of "well I could get an AI to draw that but I'd have to hack at it for a few hours...". If a human has to work at it for hours, it's more like using Blender than "having an AI draw it" in my mind.

I suspect if someone went to the trouble to implement your above solution they'd find the end result isn't as good as they'd hoped. In practice you'd probably find one or more steps don't work correctly- for example, maybe today's multimodal LLM's can't evaluate prompt adherence acceptably. If the technology was ready the evidence would be pretty clear- I'd expect to see some very good, very quickly made comic books shown off by AI enthusiast on reddit rather then the clearly limited/ not very good comic book experiments which have been demonstrated so far.
AudioPod – AI-Powered, All-in-One Audio Toolkit for Creators
https://audiopod.ai
We’ve built AudioPod to simplify audio post-production for creators who find themselves juggling multiple tools and steep learning curves. Our focus is on making advanced audio features—like speaker separation, voice cloning, multilingual translation, and noise reduction—accessible and user-friendly.
> what is the actual good-faith rationale for using this feature

So, responding to viewers increases engagement, and thereby a channel's virality.

And one human can only do so much of that. So eventually, you hit a marketing scalability bottleneck — you get more comments than you can read, and the people who don't feel engaged with, are more likely to churn from your viewership, so your viewership growth starts to decelerate.

Large media companies + MCNs previously solved this bottleneck, by hiring paid human community managers to scale responding-to-comments.

But individual creators bootstrapping their growth, had no good solution to this (besides joining an MCN), because the too-many-comments threshold comes long before they make enough revenue to afford to hire their own community managers.

This creates a pay-to-win model where companies who already have capital from other ventures can afford to circumvent this bottleneck and so get big on YouTube, in a way that individual creators cannot.

And YouTube doesn't like that; those big companies aren't beholden to YouTube in the way that creators that think of themselves fundamentally as "YouTube content creators" are. (Or, to say that in a nicer way: YouTube wants to democratize content creation, ensuring that there's a way for small bootstrapped content-creators to "make it.")

AI comment responding is a substitute good for the paid human community managers who already perform this function for large media companies / MCNs / etc. It serves to allow these independent bootstrapped content-creators to overcome the responses-to-comments marketing bottleneck for much lower cost.

This doesn't do anything good for the people who post comments, of course; but it does work to ensure a healthy ecosystem of independent bootstrapped content creators, rather than an oligopoly of media companies — which is something that viewers want from YouTube.

(An analogy might be to level-1 CSRs in a call center: as a complainant, they just get in your way; but they solve a customer-service scalability bottleneck for the company, which thereby allows the company to grow past the point where it would otherwise stop being able to handle support at all due to the increasing flood of "nonsense" complaints.)

> It seems like the only use case is to trick people into thinking they're having a real interaction.

Yes, it is, but that's going to happen whether or not there's a built-in feature to do it. That ship has sailed literally centuries ago — ever heard of writing to a famous author/actor/etc, and getting a hand-written response, seemingly from the famous person themselves, but actually from their agent and just signed by the famous person?
What's truly bizarre is the popularity on this site of questioning someone's own stated experience with finding LLM tools useful. On a site called hacker news, that usually celebrates useful computer tools. I'll never understand the obvious luddism here.
How is the nation's biggest grocery store being identified as a PE target ?

It isn't a growth business. It isn't underperming expectations. It doesn't have expansion opportunities. Brick and mortar is already struggling and behemoths like Amazon and Walmart are in a leading position in online sales.

It's a head scratching decision. I would love to be a fly on the wall when such proposals are made.

... and don't you all have interlibrary borrowing too? This system is 50+ years old [1], surely it can't be the only one around. Request a title from your local library website and it shows up at your local library a few days later regardless of which library actually holds it. Return at any library, it will always find its way back to the right place.

We also have reciprocal borrowing privileges at many libraries that aren't in the network. You can always find a DVD you want!

My understanding is he didn't lose the case on the merits. During discovery he was required to hand over documents from his Google account, but Google had locked his account and he couldn't get access. The judge then ruled he was in default for failing to produce.

This is obviously a massive abuse of the justice system, violating the maxim that the law does not compel the impossible. But, since the prevailing opinion (including both judge and jury) observably is "enh, fuck that guy" nobody much cares. However the shoe is going to be on the other foot sooner or later. It may be that hounding Alex Jones wasn't worth the precedent (making this style of lawfare acceptable, not an actual legal precedent) that this case sets.

I can easily imagine a case where, say, X blocks discovery in a similar way to achieve a similar outcome for someone on the left. Do we want this to be how we do things?
Given the legal thrashing that was just doled out, primarily from quoting the man’s public statements, why is he still saying anything on the topic?
Depends on the culture. I’m told that in Japan the shaming works. There you will get scolded by your boss for being overweight. There’s a law that explicitly brings weight-shaming into the workplace.

Not that I think it’s the ideal. But it supposedly did cause a reduction in BMI. And many of those called out said they appreciated the pressure.
Ah I should have stopped reading after your first sentence, because the next sentence suggests the broader point you're getting at is that difference in test scores is attributable to mostly economic factors. Here is your second sentence:

> I suspect test scores corelate more strongly with household income and wealth than with race.

The question of whether people in higher socio-economic class score higher in standardized tests is obviously true and uninteresting. The real question is if the correlation trumps other factors like race (which you hinted at by your next sentence). Kind of like asking "is this SUV safe for a Toyota". Obviously its safer than smaller Toyota vehicles, the pertinent question is whether its safe compared to other SUVs.

So yes, students in higher economics. You can google 'socio-economic test scores'. Here's a top result:

> Socioeconomic status (SES) and SAT scores are positively correlated: Students from higher income backgrounds generally achieve higher scores, and “21.2% of variance in SAT scores is shared with SES, as measured here as a composite of mother’s education, father’s education, and parental income.” The researchers note that the “source of the SAT-SES relationship is likely due to some combination of educational opportunity, school quality, peer effects and other social factors.”

AIUI, Strassen gets used moderately commonly with non-floating-point datatypes, where numerical stability is less of a concern and multiplications are more useful to minimize than memory traffic.

Yeah, the article is incorrect about that (like I said, sealed bids are very unusual in bankruptcy auctions, but the actual opinion cites the other stuff), and when I said that the auction procedure was farcical, I did not mean that the underlying algorithm of the auction was wrong, but that the procedures run by the auctioneer were awful.

I suspect the idea that “people aren't even honest about what constitutes murder and what doesn't” creates a high barrier to the discussion you’d like to have.

From your post, I think you’re starting from the pov that governments have the right to decide what is murder vs an acceptable killing. Some of the people I’ve met who are most interested in these ideas are staunch pacifists with a strong religious motivation (e.g. Quaker or Methodist) and reject the idea that governments can declare any killing to be acceptable. I don’t believe they’re dishonest, for all that it’s a very different starting point.
It looks like it actually reverses sexual characteristics without reversing chromosomes, meaning the males that have reversed sexual characteristics are still technically genetically male.

"The resulting larvae were all male when raised to metamorphosis and sampled (n = 100), confirming that atrazine-induced females were, in fact, chromosomal males. Furthermore, atrazine-induced females lacked the DM-W further confirming that these atrazine-induced females were indeed chromosomal males (Fig. 2). These ZZ females expressed gonadal aromatase, as did true ZW females (n = 4, from our stock colony), but ZZ males (n = 8, control or treated) did not"

I'd like to emphasize the "might not": The impression I get from all these studies (I've seen them pop up pretty regularly for as long as I've been paying attention, nearly two decades) is that the border is actually wrong, that going from "normal" to "overweight" should be increased slightly from 25 to 27 or so. We're probably getting mixed signals in the "overweight" classification because "okay" and "bad" levels are being combined.

But that time is long gone and WordPress being what is it today fundamentally depends on paid labour and not free labour. It would have withered to the side like other CMSes that depended on free labour. Nearly every top contributor that we can see in the WordPress commit history was paid.

But region coding granularity was very course, just a few big regions, unlike geofencing today.

And if you travelled with your dvds, they still worked, unlike your netflix subscription today. (The need to bring your own player to match your disks doesn't change anything because your same laptop that you watch a stream with today had a dvd drive right in it before.)

Region coding was a problem, but simpler and just not as bad as todays streaming geofences.

That's far from what actually happened to Jones and also you're mixing metaphors of criminal and civil trials which are very very different in the US. There were years between the start of the trial and the default judgements and the behavior extended beyond just failing to produce requested files people legitimately don't have requested records all the time in litigation and they do not suffer the same outcome because they properly cooperate with the process and demonstrate they they do not have the documents instead of refusing to provide them.

Jones lied and continues to lie to this day about why he lost the case because it's a liar and a con man and the claim he's persecuted unfairly helps him sell his supplements to his audience.

Sorry, this was the time of “new economics” where serious economists were talking about unlimited and endless growth thanks to computers and the internet. Had to sit in class after class where professors were telling me that with IT this time it was different (they had exposure to pMail and Stata). I love to hate on Krugman for his turn from serious economist to political pundit, but here he was wildly more on mark than the opposite side of the debate.

The one who really got it early on was Hal Varian. In his microeconomic analysis there are many parts where he seems to be like explaining markets that didn’t exist yet, but came to be massive. Google didn’t pick him up for nothing. What Ben Thompson calls aggregators was in his book, well was sketched there in principles. A 1987 book! (I worked through a 90s revision and that’s where my memories come from.)
This particular statistic has a ton of problems. It's impossible to disassociate the various causative pathways that land you at a BMI below 25. A ton of them involve diseases and chronic conditions.

Unfortunately, it's very hard to impossible to RCT this. And if a study has no RCT, take it with as much salt as your diet allows.

You definitely don't want to intentionally gain weight on the basis of this. If weight control is easy for you, I would personally strive for a lower BMI.

If losing weight below 25 is hard for you and your body just seems to refuse to do it, then you might be OK at 25.
