All this does is move when the issue he claims exists presents itself.

If we flip the minute display at the 30, then the same problem occurs because if you start timing from the 20, the minute will change in ten seconds.

This article is just kind of stupid masquerading as smart.
To paraphrase, one man's freedom of speech is another man's propaganda. There is a reason TikTok was embraced by the younger generations. I don't use it, but I think the whole move only proves that US has no freedom of speech unless it is carefully curated.

edit: To all the negative reactions, argue with me you dullards instead of reactively pressing a button when you see something you disagree with. Use that wit and freedom!

What Is Agentic AI?
I find HN is generally very thoughtful about what political content is relevant, and what is appropriate to coment on that content. However... I've very tired of the Musk content. He's become a highly poltitical highly divisive figure who doesnt need the airtime.
Siri had so many years to iterate and get refined that by now I'd assume it would have been as omnipresent assistant as in "Her" movie (without negative impact of course) but see where we are today: I am still using it for only weather and setting alarms and even in that it sometimes works and sometimes does not.
Very true. For me, fuzzers and property-based tests are two sides of the same coin. I'd just use whichever feels more natural.
It’s nice to see some real-world graphics programming in a visual language.

Node-based environments can be powerful for exploring solutions like this, but they don’t often make it to Hacker News.
Completely agree. No need to over engineer problem. Just leave the network
And that of course is a reason to repost this wonderful exchange in "A Clash of Kings":

> In a room sit three great men, a king, a priest, and a rich man with his gold. Between them stands a sellsword, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. ‘Do it,’ says the king, ‘for I am your lawful ruler.’ ‘Do it,’ says the priest, ‘for I command you in the names of the gods.’ ‘Do it,’ says the rich man, ‘and all this gold shall be yours.’ So tell me—who lives and who dies?

> "The king, the priest, the rich man — who lives and who dies? Who will the swordsman obey? It's a riddle without an answer, or rather, too many answers. All depends on the man with the sword.

> "And yet he is no one," Varys said. "He has neither crown nor gold nor favor of the gods, only a piece of pointed steel."

> "That piece of steel is the power of life and death."

> "Just so … yet if it is the swordsmen who rule us in truth, why do we pretend our kings hold the power? Why should a strong man with a sword ever obey a child king like Joffrey, or a wine-sodden oaf like his father?"

> "Because these child kings and drunken oafs can call other strong men, with other swords."

> "Then these other swordsmen have the true power. Or do they? Whence came their swords? Why do they obey?" Varys smiled.

EDIT: Seeing no reactions yet, I just wanted to explain that the way I see this coming battle on controlling the AI that controls the world is that we have the governments, the billionaires and the ethicists saying what should be done, and us software professionals as the sellswords with our fingers on the literal trigger.
This is not a meaningful argument. China does not have any freedom of speech encoded in its foundational documents. The US does. This is like saying that we're going to get rid of trial by jury until China adds it in.
During lockdown I ripped my entire DVD collection using makemkv. It's as close to one click as you'll get and works brilliantly. All my DVDs are stored away now and I play them from Plex in full quality.
"It's just a convention"

This is correct. In fact, in one sense our clocks could be argued to be minutes out, on average: originally time was measured by the sun. But by the sun, the earth doesn't rotate in exactly the same time each day during the year. So a clock assuming each day is the same length (like they all do) accumulates an error with respect to sun time of more than 16 minutes,and then loses it again, in a cycle.

But we just collectively decided that it was simpler not to bother with that. We changed the convention so that time is marked with respect to an average day length
It's effectively a ban, that's why everyone calls it one. Most Americans use iPhones and the app store has a monopoly, there won't be any other way to install it on an iPhone.
I don't know about the details of this prosecution, but having served on juries, it is important to remember than "not guilty" is a finding that the government didn't meet the burden of proof, not necessarily a finding of actual innocence. That article would certainly suggest that they were prepared for violence, even if acquitted on the most serious charge.
> * Seems like perhaps you submitted a change that was normalized as an entirely new business due to having a different address, location and name. Have you tried to zoom in and see if there’s a new marker with the info you submitted?*

Nope, no new marker at all.
Yeah I've noticed that and have always been so surprised by it. Given Meta's resources and AI strength, I would have thought they would have made their Reels so much better but TikTok, who has FAR FAR less data on me (I beta tested Facebook that's how old my account is), can show me much more engaging content within about 15 to 30 minutes of me signing up and using it.

Maybe ByteDance has expertise on a wholly different sort of AIs that Meta isn't great at? I've always been very perplexed by this.
Ahh, but you see... when we do it, it is changing the hearts and minds. It is pure. It is good.
Clocks are used as inputs into decisions. So this doesn't matter as long as the decision process accounts for it. If I see that a meeting starts in 5 minutes, I'm not setting a timer get there in 300 seconds, I'm trying to decide if I have time to fill my water bottle on the way or not.

The post is a useful consideration to think if you are trying to do precise tasks though. See Keskival's post below about intervals vs moments to add some more precise ways of thinking.
I would assume so, until proven otherwise.
Or a woman who has allegedly eaten nothing but orange pips since she was 3 or something, while hustlin' apps to summarise CVs...

The boundary between 'political' and not is hard to pin down though - articles that are clearly driven by or imbued with (say) culture war viewpoints or anti-corporate or ... or ... even if not explicitly political or about politics?

We have an eye-roller or two of different kinds within a few posts of this one.
This is nitpicking, but the transition from "the average error of a truncating clock is 30 seconds" to "therefore all clocks are 30 seconds late!" is seriously wrong. For one, the median is equal to the mean here, so about half of all clocks are less than 30 seconds late, which is a clear contradiction.
I just opened your book, very nice! I really like the derivatives. You went above and beyond with latex diagrams ^^
Of course that's the reasonable approach, but in reality the US gov't finds mind control useful, and wants to be able to exert influence over it, rather than allow a foreign gov't exert influence over it.

From their home page, it looks like their stated goal is to remove brand impersonation materials. Lookalike websites, social media compromises, malicious links, etc. They allege to work with registrars, contribute to blocklists and take down scam content. True brand impersonation of this ilk almost always includes copyright infringement.

Sure it's possible that the company is a truly malicious actor that has a fake website and does not actually submit any valid claims, while working alongside the top brands in the industry to tear down that same industry. Personally though, I think it's more likely the company is a startup rushing to grab profits, has bad algorithms that come up with a lot of false positives, and is generally a bull in a china shop. Not that that's excusable, but being sloppy and taking shortcuts that hurt people is a bit different from being a "copyright hit company" where hurting people is the company's entire raison d'etre. The former calls for better regulation; the latter calls for being stamped out.

I don't know if you've tried to consume any crypto-related content on YouTube recently, but YouTube has a major problem with fake "live streams" from "Elon Musk" and other prominent crypto figures who promise they'll "double your crypto for a limited time" if you just send it to them within the next ten minutes. Someone's gotta fight that, on behalf of both the scam victims and the impersonated brands, because YouTube themselves don't give a shit.
Cow Clicker 2025, Professional Edition. So good.
We did it to ourselves. Modern "small L" liberalism went completely overboard, and we're seeing that play out now in the rise of fascist leaning governments in the west. It will take a generation for the pendulum to swing back.
China, and no one else, refused ICJ arbitration over the South China Sea. China, and no one else, is responsible for Chinese vessels harassing boats on the high seas. China, and no one else, refuses to rebalance domestic consumption vs investment. China, and no one else, imprisoned Jimmy Li. I do have to say their propaganda makes us look so good, so thanks for that.

There will be war because China starts it by deciding to invade Taiwan. They are very much preparing for it.
I enjoyed this - but I do feel it missed out on Intel’s big win in successfully swaying Apple to their side with the Mac, and the dramatic fall from favour Intel’s products had with Apple.

I feel it would have gone well with the iPhone section of the video
I was only involved in government contracting for a bit in the twenty-ought tens, but the whole bit about silly requirements and by picking the lowest bidder you were selecting the contributor that "often is the one who understands the technology least" gives me flashbacks to my time in government contracting.

I wasn't around for the whole JTRS fiasco, but from what I heard this effect played out there as well. Ridiculous requirements such as requiring only software updates to support new waveforms and restrictions on SWaP as well as unrealistic network sizes resulted in radios so expensive they couldn't be widely deployed. I know some people like to point to SRW as a success coming out of that, but it never has been successfully deployed to within an order of magnitude of the number of radios in the requirements and resulted in a third, incompatible, radio system used by infantry. Meanwhile, a company that was excluded from the program built the radio that the military actually needed, which could communicate to both of their existing systems.

I was around for it's successor where they swapped software for FPGAs and made the same "software only" update requirement. The primary winner of the contract had no experience in digital logic and decided to implement the thing in MatLab (which provided no real mechanism for multiple clock domains or other features needed for high performance large scale digital design). Other contractors had to fit their design into this mess of a system. When it didn't fit in any FPGA, they opted to put it in an ASIC. And another of the contractors managed to convince the PM that their newest dev board was perfect for integrating this -- allowing them to pay for the internal R&D for that board on the project's expense (after all PCIE and SRIO are practically the same, right?).

I left at that point because failure was the only option and I could make more money writing code to meet silly requirements in the tech sector.
I would dare to say that National Security should beat the First Amendment.

But the argument that TikTok bears any relationship to "national security" is ludicrous on the face of it. They're not posting nuclear secrets, they're posting short videos.

They said they're (mostly) not worth more than $2.

They aren't worth less than $2 either. They are worth $2.

Technically Big Ben is the bell, the clock has typically been referred to as the Great Clock because that's sufficient explanation of what you meant. The tower, which like the clock is often referred to just as "Big Ben" colloquially, was formally named "Elizabeth Tower" in honour of the late Queen some years ago.
This never made sense to me,

Unless the child is a literal genius or very charismatic, wouldn’t they almost certainly have worse prospects after graduating in the 10th to 30th percentile of their class at Harvard than from the 80th to 90th percentile of their class at Boston U?

This hall monitor mentality in every comments section is more annoying than titles ever are.
Let’s be honest, Trump supporters were going to support Trump even if he “shot someone in the middle of Times Square”.

Even when places like Fox News called the election fairly in 2020, they were roundly criticized by Trump supporters and places like Redstate kicked out life long anti-Trump conservatives.

The Wall Street Journal of all things was being called part of the “liberal media” of all things.

But in 2024, the Democrats lost fair and square. They lied and covered up Biden’s mental decline until it became more than apparent and lost any credibility with the public. They have given up on the “50 state strategy”.

We can ban the stuff until such time when we truly need it.

Doesn’t help with the climate crisis? No. Does it help with any of the ongoing health threats? No. Does it help hungry people finding food and healthcare or somehow advancing science or any cultural benefits? No.

Does it consume vast amounts of water and electricity to facilitate “bad example of humanity” use cases? Oh yes.

Just feel our priorities are not where they should be.
More like high access to media and consumerism.
In my estimation, Israel-Palestine (and, in particular, the college protests) was the straw that broke the camel's back. Remember the bill to ban Tiktok was introduced 5-6 months after October 7 at the height of college protests.

The real problem with Tiktok, from the perspective of the US establishment and government, is that it doesn't move in lockstep the US State Department, as opposed to Meta [1], for example.

An earlier prominent example was the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment [2] that was all over Tiktok for over a week before it got any mainstream media coverage.

Mainstream media has to straddle a line between paroting the State Department and maintaining the veneer of legitimacy.

Just compare the reaction to Brad Spafford, caught with the largest explosives cache ever seized, out on $25k bond [3] to a woman having set a $100k bail for saying "deny, defend, depose" over the phone to a health insurance company and, should she make that bond, she'll be kept on home confinement [4].

Or the resources dedicated to arresting Luigi Mangioni. Or even a man just recently killed by the police in under a minute in a raid for... a judge-exeuctive's weed eater in Kentucky [5].

Police in fact killed over 3 people a day in 2024 [6], including many egregious examples such as Sonya Massey [7].

My point here is that I agree this isn't solely a Israel-Palestine issue with Tiktok. But the media are complicit in not holding those in power accountable when they are quite clearly acting as thugs at the behest of the wealthy and powerful. Tiktok doesn't seem to play along with that narrative and that's why it got a ban.

If we really cared about user privacy, we would've passed an expansive data protection bill. If we cared about foreign influence, why do we single out China and not, say, Israel?

>You said Trudeau was unpopular for years and yet only now he's leaving.

There's unpopular and then there's unpopular.

His approval rating has dropped off a cliff over the past year. His cabinet ministers have been resigning and/or openly criticizing him / asking for him to step down to save their own political careers.

This article is from last September - 4 months ago.

>> Darrell Bricker, a political scientist and pollster with Ipsos, compared the current moment in Canadian politics to this summer’s historic defeat of the UK Tories, who lost 251 seats in British parliament.

>>“It’s basically over,” said Mr Bricker of Trudeau’s government in an interview with the BBC.

>>“All that is happening is sands sliding out of the sand dial, and we’re working our way towards an inevitable conclusion.”

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjrdrnxp74wo

And then this article is from October:

>>Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada faced the stiffest challenge to his leadership from fellow elected Liberal Party members on Wednesday during a closed-door meeting where he was urged to resign to avoid torpedoing the party’s chances in the next election.

>>For more than a year, the Liberals under Mr. Trudeau have trailed the Conservative Party by double digits in polls, suggesting that the Liberal Party could face a crushing defeat in the next election, which must be held by next October.

>>Panic within the party intensified after the Liberals recently lost two special parliamentary elections in districts that had been considered their strongholds.

>>The growing dissatisfaction played out on Wednesday, when most of the 153 Liberal members of Parliament gathered in Ottawa for a scheduled caucus meeting.

>>While caucus proceedings are typically secret, Mr. Trudeau, according to Canadian news media citing unnamed sources, was presented with a letter signed by about two dozen caucus members calling on him to step down.

>>The letter has been circulating for several days, but has been a closely held secret.

>>About 20 Liberal members criticized Mr. Trudeau’s leadership after the letter was read aloud during the three-hour-and-17-minute meeting, according to Canadian news outlets.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/23/world/canada/trudeau-vote...

Why do you insist that having a 23% approval rating and half of your party begging you to resign isn't a good enough reason?

Seriously, if you're not familiar with the internal politics of another country, why would you make up conspiracies about them?
That was a fun one but I think they changed it already.

Amusingly, one of my kids gets very frustrated with how I answer what time it is on most requests. Most of my answers will be of what the nearest relevant time is. I will never bother determining what the exact minute is from my watch. As I just can't see the value of that. Even from a digital watch, I don't see the need in giving a majorly different answer to the same question within 5 minutes or so.
Why have grades like this that then still move everyone on to the next class. Don't move on until you've mastered the prerequisite. Why have a track of people making C's moving on from Algebra I to algebra II with the same people making A's. Get to college earlier by mastering, rather than a weird compounding competition that kicks off in middleschool.

Something like that was advocated by the Khan academy guy, but I'm not sure if he worked out a full replacement system. There are some things in the current system like honors classes or retaking the classes for people who got an F, but why have the F ruin their chance at college if they later master it and get an A? If they always lag but eventually get there, I guess an argument is college would be too expensive if it took them a long time to get through it.
This is the correct way to think about it. The new America operates in a much simpler manner - you debase yourself and praise the ruler by repeating one of his favourite lies, you give him a lot of money and if he likes you he'll give you what you want. Trump has ordered the court to rule a certain way and they'll do exactly as he told them to.

Arguing the merits of a case, equal branches, judicial independence, etc is just silly.
Cursor has the .cursorrules file. Do you use that in combination with your approach?
Name a few things you consider to be inventions first to get the ball rolling.

For example, you could claim that nothing new in CMOS manufacturing exists because it’s all just the existing idea of a transistor. Or the transistor is just a quantum mechanic version of the vacuum tube. Or the vacuum tube just an electric version of the Babbage machine. Repeat for Internet vs packet switching.

Basically come up with a definition that doesn’t require a “I know it when I see it step” and I’ll easily fit many things Apple did in there unless it’s such a restrictive definition that no one invents anything.
