>Is there an "are we dating the same guy?" group for every city? Sure I believe that. Do 100% of those groups commit Doxing? Well, that I'm not so sure of.

That is literally the point of the group. They are violating the privacy of users on the regular, whether or not they actually give out whole names, addresses, or whatever. This WAS widely reported.

>Also, if you read closely you might be confused like I was. Defamation is not Doxing.

You have to correctly identify someone to effectively defame them. It's implied in the group name. That involves violating their privacy, which is essentially a form of doxxing (as far as dating online goes). Posting and/or offering up details of dates along with names, photos, or even phone numbers is all enough to identify many people on apps and in real life. And if not technically doxxing, even getting people identified to the point where they are excluded from dates is nasty behavior. You essentially can't defend yourself from these accusations, and in most cases you won't EVER find out that there are vicious rumors against you circulating among potentially thousands of people.

You can find plenty of information about people's experiences of being targetted by those groups. Here's a pretty good link to get started I think: https://www.vice.com/en/article/are-we-dating-the-same-guy-f...

Anyway, my point in all of that is to say that Facebook tolerated these groups for a long time, despite their vicious and secretive attacks on people, and violations of privacy. Their moderation team cares more about people posting wholesome religious memes and funny political commentary than content that is definitively toxic. We don't hear a lot about these groups because their membership is locked down. They exist(ed) in many major cities. I think they are thankfully falling out of fashion because their members are way too petty and toxic even for each other. But I don't know that for sure, as I can't join one even if I find it.
And the US just voted back in the political party whose goals include increasing inequality, helping employers keep the upper hand, squeezing workers, and accelerating that transfer from the poor to the wealthy. It’s going to get much worse before it even has a chance to get better.
The insurance only needs to cover cost to rebuild. Houses in LA are largely econo shitholes built on $1M worth of land. The land is still there after a fire.
This is why we need our governments to protect the people.

It is exuberantly clear that some companies will treat their workers with the minimum amount of decency up to the point of illegality, or past that if they can get away with it.

How about an “asshole employer” gov program? Society needs to fight back against those doing harm to society.
> why do they give a shit about the knobs in the RTO portal

They don’t. They care about having legal cause to terminate employment, as is the style at the time
I guess hope can be false now.

The best thing I ever saw in Silicon Valley was when I was a middle manager at glory days FB.

An intern in his last week got smashed up by a car riding a bike and by this and that quirk I ended up playing a very minor role in passing the message up the chain.

In under an hour Sheryl Sandberg not only knew but was directly involved in pledging all of Facebook’s resources to the medical care and the travel for the family and just everything.

It was truly inspiring. The intern in question made a full recovery and everyone on the team saw that they could look forward all the time, trusting their leadership to watch their back.

There are now a few large flow batteries. Here's one that's 400 megawatt-hours.[1] Round trip efficiency is poor and the installation is bulky, but storage is just tanks of liquid that are constantly recycled.

I’d happily pay for it if they stopped doing AI bullshit.

That I won’t pay for.
Notifying your employer that you can't work is the most basic of things.

Sure, if you're in the hospital with an emergency they'll hopefully forgive that you couldn't notify them, but if you're sick it's expected you tell somebody.
That would be a big nope:

Unfortunately this is a major blind spot for Kagi. I am hoping they fix it soon. Forum thread: https://kagifeedback.org/d/3022-ideas-for-improving-localint...
I have been using if for a year, with the LLMs and the facets and keywords. I have used google only a couple times when I couldn't find things easily and google was much much worse for my queries so I continued to ignore it.

I have reported a few issues to the Kagi team, their feedback system is super easy, they update you at every step of the process and they fixed everything (always minor issues) in about a week every time, plus you get a changelog of everything that changed.

I have made on average 1000 searches a month and never got frustrated by it, every time I stumbled upon a SEO-farming crapsite, I just filter it out to never see it again.

Excellent experience.
I worked with a Canadian about 10 years ago that broke his arm while visiting family in Winnipeg during Christmas. He waited 2 or maybe 3 full days to have it set and get a cast with no luck in seeing a doctor and finally drove across the border to have it done in the US. He was 60 or so and when he didn't even seem upset at that happening! That really opened my eyes on "free" healthcare.
> Systems which do require remote operations assistance to get full reliability cut into that economic advantage and have a higher burden on their ROI calculations

Technically true but I'm not convinced it matters that much. The reason autonomation took over in manufacturing was not that they could fire the operator entirely, but that one operator could man 8 machines simultaneously instead of just one.

The goverment is effectively the employers. They can override everything they don't like or can't find a way around. If it ever seems otherwise, you're missing part of the story.
No when he said "worldly possessions" he mostly just meant funkopops.
Ammonia is synthesized using hydrogen gas. Yes, the final product is not hydrogen, but hydrogen is an essential feedstock.

All this pearl clutching about hydrogen embrittlement ignores that industry solved this problem a century or more ago. It's a consideration that must be taken into account when selecting materials, not some sort of all powerful showstopper.

To be clear, none of what I'm saying should be taken as an endorsement of hydrogen as a fuel for automobiles.
Judging by the stories people have told online over the past few years, it sounds like a pretty standard american working condition...

> this ideology from intruding any further into the culture of American employers or employers of American workers.

Are you doing satire? This is already the status quo for American employers. Do you mean American employers of the labor aristocracy? It is hideously evil, but your wording conjures the idea that US company culture hasn't been corrupted (even with the "any further" part). It has already gone too far. The only thing that's truly interesting to me is that it's a Chinese-influenced company and China hasn't used the last decade to do socialism diplomacy through TikTok.
The fact we are discussing this is a damning indictment of late-stage capitalism.
I wonder if that depends on the pressure of the car? I vaguely recall they sold at two pressures when I looked long ago. Could stepping down from the stored pressure to much lower car pressure cause the icing?

oh, and I remember one other thing. Even though the mirai drivers were getting free fuel (at the beginning), I think H2 was like the equivalent of $17/gallon marked on the pump.
The difference in focus between the linked article and this one is startling to me.

https://www.thefp.com/p/the-autism-surge-lies-conspiracies

It really is important to understand that increased incidence of autism is not, repeat NOT, substantively attributable to an increase in diagnosis. Not at the rates we are talking about.

And there is a bias within polite society against talking about how disabling severe autism is.
Hydrogen is actually a really good solution for shipping and long haul trucking. Conceptually, it really could have worked for cars but Tesla did a really good job of making BEVs sexy, when consumers looked at the market they decided to head towards BEVs.

Personally, I think they could have done some quick cocktail napkin math and figured out their strategy without too much effort, but large mega corps tend to frown upon that sort of thing. I remember the Honda clarity (a retro-fitted civic) was going for $350K and saying to myself: no one thought to use a spreadsheet before building?
About Sanguinaria canadensis, Wiki says: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanguinaria

Although limited laboratory research indicates potential for sanguinarine to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, there are no supportive clinical studies, and its use is discouraged due to adverse effects and potential toxicity.
Hmm I guess it's a good point that a lot of those 1000 companies are not startups and will be around in 3 years
I suppose it's bigger? It says it has a capacity of 30.

The thing that interests me, is does this thing go faster than 30kph? Because so far all the minibus pilots have basically been for parking lot shuttles.
Even with a clean slate, there's immense value in choosing something that you already know to be a tried-and-true approach - i.e. in choosing "boring" technology¹ instead of trying to be at the cutting edge.

Now if exploring the cutting edge is a goal of yours in and of itself, then by all means blow some of those innovation tokens on the new Reactangular.ts hotness. For a lot of projects, though, the goal is to get something out the door as painlessly as possible; jQuery and plain JS have (for better or worse) been the tried-and-true "boring" approaches, and HTMX (from what I can tell) seeks to be the similarly "boring" choice.

Obviously right now HTMX ain't the boring choice (because it's still pretty new), but a decade from now it could be. Having used it in a couple pet projects recently, it already does feel pretty boring (especially since it goes hand-in-hand with other boring strategies like "just use SQL" and "just use CGI scripts" / "just use classic MVC frameworks").

That's exactly where Kagi is so-and-so: Google is much better at focusing results on locality rather than just language.

For instance, a search for Serbian terms will frequently turn up Croatian sites (they are largely the same language), which is not necessarily a problem unless you are looking to get a product locally or for a local place.

Google also does a better job of accepting both Cyrillic and Latin script (Serbian uses both, Croatian only the Latin script) for search terms and finding results in either script (a good test is to type something in Cyrillic and get results on a Croatian page), and I do not get results in Bulgarian or Russian (also using Cyrillic).

Kagi does some of that, but it's obviously a bit worse.

There is.
> preferably, much cheaper than today's absurd Uber rates

I just want to highlight that the only mechanism by which this eventually produces cheaper rates is by removing having to pay a human driver.

I’m not one to forestall technological progress, but there are a huge number of people already living on the margins who will lose one of their few remaining options for income as this expands. AI will inevitably create jobs, but it’s hard to see how it will—in the short term at least—do anything to help the enormous numbers of people who are going to be put out of work.

I’m not saying we should stop the inevitable forward march of technology. But at the same time it’s hard for me to “very much look forward to” the flip side of being able to take robocabs everywhere.

I can’t think of any positives of advertising that are not solely to the benefit of the advertiser.

That knife you bought because it looked cool, not the sharpest or most suited for your tasks. Cheerios aren’t really good for your heart. Dentists don’t universally recommend your flavored grain-infused fluoride paste.

It’s legalized lying where high end marketing companies are so good at it you might as well not try with a small budget. It’s not just bad from any angle, it’s also entrenched.

Don't bother, if you're in a position to do so, help them find a first-class brain surgeon. Get them into Sloan Kettering, Mayo, Duke or OHSU or whoever. Help them look for clinical trials to get chemo past the blood-brain barrier (I've heard some promising things in this area, though I'm not sure if it's being tested on humans yet). If they have a family that's taking care of them, offer to help them. Even just a grocery trip a week or something would be a massive help (obviously this depends on how close you are to them but you get the picture). Hell, offer to just hang out with your friend for a few hours so the family can get out and decompress for a bit if they need to.

Don't let them fall into the false hope of "I might have 5-10 more years". The person I knew fell into that and did absolutely nothing they wanted to do before they died because they were in denial and kept holding onto the expectation that they'd get better.

If they have money, every cockroach will come out of the woodwork trying to get a piece. Watch out for them if you can.

I know someone who got scammed out of a very substantial amount by a real brain surgeon in America(!!!), who referred them to a guy that sold a bogus device which he claimed would "destroy the tumor" (no FCC sticker on it and the entire thing was controlled by a Raspberry Pi when I disassembled it). Brain surgeon had a bunch of FDA complaints against them too and performed it in one of the poorest cities in the country, across the street from a burnt out apartment building. The local pharmacy had a constant police presence because of armed robberies for the drugs. These details scream sketch to normal people, but normal people aren't going to be dying of brain cancer in the foreseeable future. Desperate people will do crazy things if they think it offers some hope.
I’d say that Tesla did a lot more than just make BEVs sexy, they made them practical. You don’t see Toyota out there making a nationwide network of Hydrogen fueling stations like Tesla did with Superchargers. Someone had to get the ball rolling, and Toyota didn’t do it.
> It's definitely not a monolith and I think treating it as such is disrespectful to other people and bad for the public discourse.

Kagi Ultimate subscriber here (even got the t-shirt) and I love it. The other comments are all pretty spot-on.

I'll add that I adore the summarization feature and use it all the time with a bookmarklet (both on desktop and mobile). It's amazing for cutting to the chase of recommended links and YouTube videos (and for plopping the big ideas into Logseq, nvAlt, Obsidian, et cetera).

Big ups.
Interesting article but sounds like lobbying and fear mongering. Previously, blockchain and crypto currency would kill the banks and give control to the people again, visa/mastercard/whatever would be replaced by executives and businesses to save massive txn costs. Sadly, these articles somehow disappeared now and nearly impossible to find.

AI is a solution looking for a problem and some of the best minds had been hired to dumb-down new generation into trusting these bots, so eventually they become reliant and can’t live without AI. See TikTok/FB/Insta in context, how new generation can’t live without these.

> “anyone affected by the fires should know we are behind them completely with the full weight of the company behind them” pinned to the top of every internal page

Inappropriate for a global company. Send targeted emails to those you know are affected, and be specific about how you're putting the "full weight of the company behind them." Maybe put a note on one internal landing for everyone to see in case they e.g. have family affected you didn't know about.

A drop in temperature will be (more or less) proportional to a drop in pressure. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideal_gas_law
Partner works at a county agency. There are 1-2 weather-related days off you can use, but if you experience more weather than that in a year you are free to use your vacation or take unpaid time off. This applies also if the job site is closed.

I'm not sure hardware is the bottleneck here.

I've had "AI" regurgitate reddit and 4chan threads verbatim to me. What happens when this mine of free data runs out? (Basically it already has, in no small part due to the effects of "AI" itself.) Will we need to actually pay creators for content? Seems economically unfeasible, the cost of content creator + AI is more than just hiring the content creator directly.
A wet dream that will not become tangible reality in near future. The inexistent labor protections are one of the major economic drivers of USA. When companies can lay off whole departments nilly-willy (we had some discussions here on HN), they can take on riskier endeavors than their European counterparts at the same cost.
Been using Kagi for just over a year and I'm very happy with it.

I make about 1400 searches per month on average.

I have zero interest in the AI features and don't use any Apple devices, so Orion is also of no interest.
That’s maybe fair, the details of the paperwork in a tricky situation are a question for senior leadership.

There are a lot of ways to say “we support you completely” and none of them are “here’s a weird liability motivated form on top of losing everything else”.
Conveniently, they also offer webcam-based smartphone detection, tied into screen blanking and reporting.

> I don’t think still fundamentally religious US society will fair very well with AI when it becomes clear just how unspecial people are.

Fundamentally religious US society will stay so, it avoids evidence with ease. AI is just machines. Kevin Hamm will more readily make infographics to explain how an ark carried all the animal species on earth and dinos were dragons wiped out by knights.

> Culturally, there’s a far deeper problem. The soul isn’t real, and this will be a very hard pill for many westerners to swallow. There’s already so little social fabric and this will only make it worse.

> In rich Western society people’s expectations exceed their abilities. AI will pummel this even harder. All the clowns who worked jobs that were detrimental to society for fake money.

Medical transcriptionists, legal secretaries, call center representatives, business-to-business salespeople, insurance CEOs, their jobs may have been detrimental but they were the jobs set up by employers and lots of these people needed to eat and wear clothing, hence they needed whatever "fake" money was on offer. People who work at deploying capital (private equity, etc.) are often detrimental to society but they'll do better than ever.

The social fabric feels less well-woven overall, I'd concur. Musk ain't helping to repair it.

which is the whole point of the ideology of the CCP - that autocratic gov't, rather than democracy, is a better governing structure.

The idea is not even new - it stems from ancient china, from the days of the emperors. That their rule is mandated by heaven, and that they know what's best for the country.
Hydrogen electrolyzers perhaps makes sense as a backup load: something that can be turned on when there's too much electricity production (as is increasingly the case in renewable-heavy grids). But then what to do with the hydrogen?
