Signal is a nonprofit; it does not have shareholders.

It does, however have a mission to bring secure communication to a large audience. That means it will add features it expects will expand the audience. I don't like stories in general (they're FOMO-driven engagement bait), but Signal having them doesn't meaningfully impact my ability to use it to message and call people.
Their Mariner tool for controlling the browser sounds scary and exciting. At the moment, it's an extension, which means JavaScript. Some web sites block automation that happens this way, and developers resort to tools such as Selenium. These use the Chrome DevTools API to automate the browser. It's better, but can still be distinguished from normal use with very technical details. I wonder if Google, who still own Chrome, will give extensions better APIs for automation that can not be distinguished from normal use.
75% of an exposed pop stop producing testosterone. 10% of the pop shift from male to female. These frogs still mate successfully with male frogs, and even produce male offspring — it turns the frogs trans :)

That’s a bit of twist: in fact amphibians, like humans, start out all female - atrazine just interferes with the development of male characteristics, making male frogs develop intersex or even completely female characteristics.
> something that multiple years of consistent dieting hasn't solved

Did you continue to track calories while using the drug?

As somebody who has successfully increased and decreased their body weight over the years (after initially being obese), if you’re able to diet consistently I don’t see why a drug is needed. My guess is whatever diet you were on was consistent for the weight you were at.

Of course I'm not supposing that software developers are utterly disconnected from the use of their software. But what matters is the designed purpose of the software, not the (even reasonably foreseeable) motivations of any particular client.

The code described at the beginning of the story locates objects, which are presumed to be in the vicinity of a person, whom the military might then kill, after presumably having used that location software without the victim's consent. By this standard, we should hold Tim Cook responsible for every case of stalking involving the use of an AirTag.

The interesting precedent here is if you lie about the dead (who until this fiction, had no protection from defamation), you have defamed any living person who says the opposite and factual information about them.

But we all know the precedent set in this case was a lie. Otherwise anyone who said the kids were really killed would have standing, since Jones thought they were "crisis actors."

We all know this was really used as a back door way to pay the parents for dishonoring the dead. Basically "meh we can't extract justice from the murderer, best we can do is get a lot of money from someone with mutual hate."

Edit: s/precedent/historical precedent/ . I did not mean to imply as assumed below this precedent is legally binding.

You seem to be completely uninformed about the case. Jones has repeatedly defied the court, hidden evidence, refused to comply. He spent years lying about the parents causing them to be harassed constantly. Ruining their already ruined lives. He caused these parents to have to move multiple times to get away from his insane listeners. All the while, privately, Jones knew he was wrong. We know this from his private communications that his own attorneys accidentally turned over. To this day, Jones continues to spout lies about the court and the judge after multiple court orders and contempts of court. No amount of money is enough to undo the damage Jones has done. But taking it all is at least a start. He is a sociopathic cancer and deserves to be in jail.

You speak practically. Unfortunately the courts do not, and as a result, the courts are suffering a deficit of trust and confidence, nationally.[1] The problems transcend one case and unfortunately they do not point clearly to one answer or a single set of answers. Is it the system? Is it the laws? Is it the people? Why do we get bizarre elevation of form, and results wholly devoid of justice?

Apologies for the caricature.

It’s clearly up for debate, but I’ve always thought that imposing obligations for how people use the product/code, or implying obligations for what the project is “owed” by users, isn’t free as in freedom, or beer. So I don’t think it’s a basic principle of open source. I think some people want it to be though.

I get it though. People see aws et al making a business model of hosting FOSS and making boatloads of money doing it, and they don’t like it.
People are trying to remove middle-school grade social behavior against people that are overweight. When I see someone that’s overweight I should simply see a person. Their doctor and loved ones should highlight the issue because they want them to live better. But if they’re a stranger, coworker, or anything but a close friend it’s not appropriate for someone to step in and start commenting. They shouldn’t even think about that.

Not to mention that people confuse health standards and beauty standards. Being a little rounded is of no health risk. And you can be very overweight (like a sumo wrestler) and very fit at the same time if you are both exercising and eating in excess.
Some might be. Don't put them all together, though.

YouTube provides its creators LLM-generated replies right in the interface, apparently trained on some of the creator's actual replies:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26QHXElgrl8

If you keep watching there's another feature that actually generates video ideas, scripts, and even thumbnails for video creators.

Seems really grim- what is the actual good-faith rationale for using this feature? It seems like the only use case is to trick people into thinking they're having a real interaction.
Reminds me of the Nuremberg Files from the 90s, an anti-abortionist's site that kept a list with addresses of abortion doctors. It kept listing the ones who got killed, and added a strikeout mark through them. (The wanted posters in the story have the slain Brian Thompson with an X over his face.)

Sometimes I read this stuff and think I live in the most ridiculous bubble.

It's bizarre to me that people don't look after their health.

I wake up and I'm like, right, there are three tracks - financial (go to work, develop career, run business, do admin, whatever), physical (exercise, keep relatively fit, don't eat 4000 cal a day unless bulking), social (don't just sit at home all day and become a gremlin). There are others but that's the main.

I don't spend equal amounts of time on them but they're all there.

It seems to me that apparently other people don't think of it this way. They just sort of wake up and do whatever on autopilot and go to sleep and whatever happens to them happens. What's that all about?

Concludes with "...some of us are wondering whether it will try again with Apple silicon"

I wouldn't hold my breath. It's not for technical reasons, but rather cultural. I don't think Apple likes dealing with the enterprise IT market where customers badger them with questions about roadmap, support, etc.
Sounds like an AI wrote this.

> Maintaining Culture: As the team grows, it's vital to preserve the company culture and ensure new hires align with core values.

I honestly disagree. You should allow the culture to evolve, but make sure it doesnt evolve in a direction that is different than where your values are now.

As an analogy, if you have a child who is 3, their culture is "energy", "constant learning", and "being cute". When they are 13, they should evolve beyond #3. And, they probably should add "be social/fit in", and "do good work (on homework etc)"

If you try to keep the 13 year old on the "being cute" value, you'll miss out on a lot
I know this isn't really a useful comment, but, I'm still sour about the name they chose. They MUST have known about the Gemini protocol. I'm tempted to think it was intentional, even.

It's like Microsoft creating an AI tool and calling it Peertube. "Hurr durr they couldn't possibly be confused; one is a decentralised video platform and the other is an AI tool hurr durr. And ours is already more popular if you 'bing' it hurr durr."
Speed looks good vis-a-vis 4o-mini, and quality looks good so far against my eval set. If it's cheaper than 4o-mini too (which, it probably will be?) then OpenAI have a real problem, because switching between them is a value in a config file.

> Remains to be seen how well they will be able to productize and market

The challenge is trust.

Google is one of the leaders in AI and are home to incredibly talented developers. But they also have an incredibly bad track record of supporting their products.

It's hard to justify committing developers and money to a product when there's a good chance you'll just have to pivot again once they get bored. Say what you will about Microsoft, but at least I can rely on their obsession with supporting outdated products.
> How much fruit do you have to eat before it becomes harmful?

Unclear. The aforementioned study fed mice sugar water [1], and cautions against extending its findings to fruit as "natural fructose obtained from plants typically confers metabolic benefits due to its slower absorption rate and the presence of beneficial plant fiber and antioxidants."

It does mention, however, that "human physiology...confronts challenges when metabolizing fructose beyond 25g/day." That's like a cup of grapes, a medium pear or half a mango [2].

That's the key element to effective conspiracy theories. A thread of truth, exaggerated, twisted and manipulated for maximum virality. Debunkers are met with links like the one you provided, and that's typically enough to discourage further debate because the truth is boring and a lot of hard work. And who wants to spend time trying to debunk when the believers don't want the truth!
A handful of very high ranking Nazis were tried and hanged.

This is a misconception. As a result of the "Nuremberg Trials" which concluded in 1946 and focused specifically on high-level defendants, 11 people were hanged. But there were numerous other trials, including what were called the "Nuremberg Military Tribunals" from 1946-1949, the Bergen-Belsen trials, and so on, as a result of which scores of people of decidedly lesser status were executed, easily some 200+.

Nearly all the mid-level officers and civil authorities escaped any sort of punishment or justice, and continued happily serving in the West German state.

This smells like a major numerical fudge as well.

No, it was the court's job. and they did it. if you disagree with the decision, then you need to come up with specifics of where they got it wrong.
The point is that "which will be" is load-bearing. The idea that someone would feel moral qualms about how software is used by the military is incongruous with signing up for the job in the first place. The military does in fact do a lot of things that are not killing people, and presumably could also find a use for the technology described that does not involve killing people. Like, say, locating allies for a rescue effort.

I believe the "artificially cheap simple carbs" is a secondary effect, with the primary effect of making corn cheap due to national security reasons. So before removing the subsidies, you'd want to have a plan for managing that risk.

There's a pretty meaningful distinction between something (relatively) neutral that's occasionally used to support unethical purposes than something that can only be used for unethical purposes, plus shades of gray in-between.

I don't think there's a reasonable argument that e.g. Keurig engineers need to grapple with the ethical dilemmas of murderers and terrorists using their products for example.

About your first point, "outpaces current supercomputers, solving tasks in minutes that would otherwise take billions of years.", that is the point of the article. They used their computer to model a system that can't be verified with a classic computer algorithm, so no, we are not certain that it is solving anything.

About the other points, quantum computers are massively different from classic ones, so much that there are very few algorithms for them. For example, GPUs are faster at matrix multiplication because it can be implemented independent parallel threads, but they suck at other problemas. A quantum computer is good for running quantum algorithms [1], of which there are very few at the moment, and most of them are useful for simulating quantum physics. It is not a "faster" classic computer in any way.
