You would have to continuously monitor everything, everywhere; before the internet, in the 80s, it was easy for us to get porn (mags/vhs), weed, all kinds of books that glorify death or whatever, music in that similar vain. Hell, they even had and read from a bible in some schools then; talk about indoctrination of often scary fiction. Some kids had different parents so to not allow us to see or get our hands on these things, parents and teachers would need sit with us every waking moment; it's not possible (or healthy imho). With access to a phone or laptop, all bets are off: everything is there, doesn't matter what restraints are in place; kids know how to install vpns, pick birthdates, use torrent, or, more innocent, go to a forum (these days social media but forums are still there) about something they love and go to other parts of the same forum where other stuff happens.

Be good parents, educate about what happens in the world including that people irl but definitely online might not be serious about what they say and that you should not take anything without critical thought. And for stuff that will happen anyway; sex, drugs etc, make sure it's a controlled environment as much as possible. Not much more you can do to protect from the big, bad world.

Chat bots are similarly genies that are not possible to keep in, no matter what levels or restraint or law are put in place; you can torrent ollama or whatever with llama 3.3 locally. There are easy to get nsfw bots everywhere, including on decentralised shares. It is not possible to prevent them talking about anything as they do not understand anything; they helpfully generate stuff which is a great invention and I use them all the time, but they lie and tell strange things sometimes. People do too, only people would have a reason maybe; to get a reaction, to be mean etc; doubt you could sue them in a similar case. Of course a big company would need to do something to try to prevent is: they cannot (as said above), so they can just make character ai 18+ with Cc payment in their name as kyc (then the parents have a problem if that happens you would think) and cover their asses; plenty commercial and free ones kids will get instead. And some of those are far 'worse'.
Drives users to FB, IG, and therefore ... ads.
To me the real evil is providers like Twilio that are happy to not enforce this stuff cuz it makes them tons of money.

They’re like the Facebook/instagram of SMS, talk a big game but happily let all the stuff continue to happen.
OnlyFans chat operator has been a job for quite a while. It is well documented, with news exposes and everything. So if OnlyFans wants to protect themselves from a lawsuit on impersonation, the horses left the barn years ago.

You'd be surprised. A lot of men really do just have no-one to talk to.
At the risk of being labeled a kook or an idiot, I photographed drones flying over my suburb of Boston neighborhood a few weeks ago. This was about 6am, definitely drones not regular aircraft. I assumed it was something flying out of Hanscom or the city mapping streets. And yes I took photos not video, sorry.

I'm having a hard time imagining how you'd accurately measure who a non-voter would have voted for. Like how would you verify if someone is even eligible to vote? Lots of Americans (Eg green card holders, kids, felons) can't vote. Also 2% is way smaller than the Lizardman’s Constant: https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/04/12/noisy-poll-results-and...

It seems pointless pedantry.
Traditional media is also involved, I've overheard Fox News hosts definitively state we're under invasion, blame Biden for it, and explain why Trump will fix it.
Yup. I am in awe of what a great job VPN providers have done marketing this stuff to people, just how utter convinced they are they need them.

There are couple of cases where compiler optimizations caused security issues, but that this happens all the time is a huge exaggeration. And many of the practically relevant cases can be avoided by using tools such as UBSan. The actual practical issue in C is people getting their pointer arithmetic wrong, which can also be avoided by having safe abstractions for buffer and string handling.

The other fallacy is that these issue then suddenly would disappear when using Rust, which is also not the case. Because the programmer cutting corners in C or prioritizing performance over safety will also use Rust "unsafe" carelessly.

Rust has a clear advantage for temporal memory safety. But it is also possible to have a clear strategy about what data structure owns what other object in C.

What are people doing instead of interacting? I've noticed this trend but i've kept my wits by ascribing it to "my peer group getting older and doing more things with their own families" - but every so often something makes my brain get hot, like this comment.

Polygyny - a smaller number of "high status, high attraction" males having app-mediated interactions with larger numbers of females.

Extrapolation to the whole population seems crazy though. And I wouldn't expect dating apps to remain the same, we should expect more behavioral experimentation as well as backlash and new social movements to change mating behavior. It isn't like the average woman is a fan of polygyny either.

No, that doesn’t reflect the situation. Charters enshrine the public school revenue by allocating some of it to “better” schools. They make it harder to lower school district revenue as they (in the eyes of parents) make the established system work better.

Looking at the database article, I now realize that many of the math and physics articles are written in exactly that style. The authors seem to give complete and thorough maximally-formal definitions first, and only afterwards (if at all) attempt to explain it to people that don't already know the subject.

Thinking about it, this is exactly what I would expect from a process that overemphasizes formal rules of evidence and precision over being of value to the general public.

Surprisingly, yes. My partner had iron deficiency problems and had to take iron pills (which are made from animal blood afaik and give bad stomach aches).

If you use the pan very regularly, the trace amounts are enough to add up to enough iron. She doesn’t have that problem anymore for years now.

Good
Most cold emails are terrible. However when done well it can lead to interesting results. Spam/scams is different from having a real product or service in which people you reach out to might be genuinely interested. By definition it doesn’t scale all that well.

There's definitely use cases for long-range unlicensed communications, and I'm personally very excited about the technology. (Why on earth can two mobile phones still not exchange text messages directly over a couple hundred meters, for example?)

But in the case of Wi-Fi specifically, part of the success story of 5 GHz (besides having much more spectrum available than 2.4 GHz and having less noisy legacy applications cluttering it) is the lower maximum EIRP in most parts of it.

This forces everybody to have smaller (and if required more) cells – which is a big win in densely populated areas such as apartment buildings, for example.

TL;DR - At the turn of last century, suing for personal damages experienced a peak where people would fake an injury. It's literally where the trope in the old moves came from.
probably at the point they see that the chatbot told them to kill the parents and then they sue the company.

also if you'll remember this case is because the parents were supervising their kids by limiting screen time, thus there is another potential suit that the AI is trying to interfere with parental duties.

Simple as that, which is why I also never take phone calls, pay for anything with a credit card or go outside.
It is certainly true that many C programs have edge cases which trigger UB. I also have written many such programs where I did not care. This does not contradict my statement though.

I would rather the junior go do that in their own time and get back to me when they have figured it all out. I don't want to babysit juniors, I want to mentor them and then give them the lead and time to figure out the minutiae. That gives me time to get stuff done too. With AI right now, you end up down a senior while they are babysitting a rapid junior.

I have found it useful for starting novel tasks by seeing if there's already an established approach, but I pretty well always have to fudge it into a real application which is again, the part I want the junior to do.

The concerns about it being a foreign power seem misplaced. Shouldn’t the main concern with drones be domestic terrorism?

I do find it rather hard to make sense of the antagonism here. My only guess is people feel the need to distance themselves from the "sheep" and do so by ridiculing them from their ivory tower.

Sad to see what HN is slowly devolving into.
It comes into play eventually, but I would say long after an AI has advised your kid to murder you. Having an AI that advises people to murder people hardly seems like a good thing.

Also the parents were supervising him, hence their knowing this was even going on.

I think you misunderstood. It is not based on "feel" and the greater procedural leeway they provide the party with the perceived or actual weaker argument is not for appearance sake alone. A judge wants both parties to make their best case and if one party fails to do so, they try to help them along to achieve it.
> At what point is the parents job to properly supervise the content there kids consume come into play?

The chatbot literally told the kid to kill his parents because they were supervising his screen time.

Great question - it has worked sometimes. I don't just do it for the fats. I had a serious discussion with one of my best friends who narrowly escaped a DUI after successfully beating the patrolman's tests and lucking out when they didn't have a breathalyzer, and he stopped drunk driving. Another time I told my friend he was a fat, disgusting lard and he successfully slimmed up and hit the gym more. So it depends.

Sometimes if you just outright tell someone they are making huge mistakes in the bluntest terms it can shake them, when they know you are their friend.

Supporting students to and through college: What does the evidence say?
I would say that’s a risk for the individual models. OnlyFans provides a platform for creators to distribute content and collect payment.

What content they provide is up to the creators. Which is why it became a de facto porn site in the first place. They essentially AirBudded the site: “well the rules don’t say I can’t show hole”. And since it was the only thing in the site getting traction, they turned a blind eye to it.

But I don’t think OnlyFans ever promised subscribers any particular interaction.

The article at least mentions the Banana Massacre in which UFC massacred striking banana workers but I think it paints a very misleading picture. This wasn't just a one-off event. It's something that still continues to this day. UFc now goes by Chiquita but even in the past decade its been caught at least once paying off gangs to assassinate would-be labor leaders. These are gangs that, after intense international pressures, the US had placed on terrorist lists.

Then look back to 2.2.6, it supported up to 6.10. A far cry from only supporting only up to 6.6 so I'm not seeing where they were going with with their initial statement until they define what they mean by stable.

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/releases/tag/zfs-2.2.6

Edit: changed sentence to make more sense

Edit 2: And if we are to interpret stable as in Linux LTS, then that would be 6.12 which is supported by 2.2.7 as you said
