> You are glancing over the fact that American media platforms are not really controlled by the US government ...

I had a chuckle at the naivety of this statement. Even HN shadow-bans posts here that are perceived as anti-US or pro-Russia / pro-Israel (I am not talking about off-topic political posts, which are against HN rules, but on political threads on Russia - Ukraine and Israel - Palestine conflicts that were allowed by the mods). HN algorithms also give undue preference to western media sources. It is the same with StackExchange (on politics and skeptics SE, for e.g.) where even factual posts countering US propaganda on Russia-Ukraine war or Israel-Palestine conflict is highly discouraged with downvotes or deletion. When complaints were raised about biased moderation, one SE mod even publicly commented that they are under heavy pressure to "moderate" the content on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Let's also not forget that RT . com is now banned on most US social media networks like FB and Youtube. And during COVID pandemic, we saw how the US government strong-armed the social media platform to prevent the spread dubious and unverified news on the disease, its treatment and the vaccines (which was the right thing to do).

I have realised that as a non-westerner (Indian), the political space for me online is continuously shrinking and increasingly suffocating because I refuse to subscribe to the western political black-and-white world view. This is readily apparent when you look at how Americans are shaping these platforms into echo-chambers - Bluesky and Reddit is for American left- content while 9gag and Twitter / X is for the American right- , and whether you want it or not, both of these shove American political content on you.

Kind of like Marxist books that work in a hypothetical universe?

Marx and Rand exist as reactions to the perceived problems of their days, but they shouldn't be taken as recipes for utopia.

Ironically, both philosophies depend on everyone in the system being perfectly altruistic. Any 'bad' actors poison their systems and turn them into horrible dystopias.
The reality is that o1 is a step away from general intelligence and back towards narrow ai. It is great for solving the kinds of math, coding and logic puzzles it has been designed for, but for many kinds of tasks, including chat and creative writing, it is actually worse than 4o. It is good at the specific kinds of reasoning tasks that it was built for, much like alpha-go is great at playing go, but that does not actually mean it is more generally intelligent.
Poll: How do you approach testing at work?
There's a lot of debate around testing. I'm interested to see how people approach it at work and how satisfied they are with their approach.

To preempt arguments about terminology, here's how I'll define the terms for the purposes of this thread. If the test doesn't touch any external service, it's a unit test, even if it executes thousands of lines of code. If it runs against a real Postgres instance or a real filesystem, it's an integration test. If the test is done entirely through the program's UI and public APIs, then it's an end-to-end test.
We have few or no tests and we're fine with that
We have few or no tests but we'd like to change that
We focus on unit tests and do a lot of mocking
We focus on unit tests but try to avoid mocking
We focus on integration tests that aren't end-to-end

Bonus, since you apparently subscribe to the Khazar conspiracy theory: https://forward.com/israel/175912/jews-a-race-genetic-theory..., https://www.jta.org/2016/05/03/global/prominent-scholars-bla... (debunking a paper that 'supported' that), https://www.researchgate.net/publication/234157950_Highlight..., and most critically this paper (https://rosenberglab.stanford.edu/papers/BeharEtAl2013-HumBi...), which is literally titled "No Evidence from Genome-wide Data of a Khazar Origin
for the Ashkenazi Jews".

Note also that this applies solely to Ashkenazi Jews, the ones the conspiracy theory generally applies to and the most reasonable (a 1,000 foot pile of bullshit rather than a 1,001 foot pile, to be clear). However, this doesn't even matter, because most Israeli Jews are Mizrahim, from the Middle East and North Africa. I fail to see how a kingdom that was roughly from the Caucasus and extended into southern Ukraine could manage to get its genes into those of Jews whose ancestors lived in, say, Libya for centuries or millennia (and were expelled following Israel's independence, if you're wondering how they ended up in Israel. The whole exodus of Jews from Muslim countries was roughly equal to that of Palestinians from Israel. The reason you don't hear about the plight of those refugees is that Israel, at the time a young new state still working things out, accepted them quickly and without delay, often proactively getting Jews out to safety.)
Most people I’ve seen are going on about either

1) the novelty of talking to entirely new people, which is a relative rarity since the early, heady days of MySpace when social media was new and gardens felt much less walled. For Gen Z, it might actually be a first given their average age; or

2) how the lives of average people compare to theirs and compare to their prior notions of what they thought life was like

These seem to go both ways btw, e.g. Chinese people being amazed that we really do need to pay for ambulance rides and that it’s not just govt propaganda. People are going where interesting things are happening, it’s plain and simple.
An American and a Chinese citizen are having a discussion on Rednote about freedom in their respective countries. The American proudly says:

"In America, we have true freedom! I can stand in front of the White House and shout, 'I don’t like the President!' and nothing will happen to me."

The Chinese citizen thoughtfully replies:

"We have the same freedom in China. I can stand in front of Tiananmen Square and shout, 'I don’t like the American President!' and nothing will happen to me either."
The question is not average cost but marginal cost of quality - same as voice recognition, which had relatively low uptake even at ~2-4% error rates due to context switching costs for error correction.

So you'd have to account for the work of catching the residue of 2-8%+ error from LLMs. I believe the premise is for NLP, that's just incremental work, but for LLM's that could be impossible to correct (i.e., cost per next-percentage-correction explodes), for lack of easily controllable (or even understandable) models.

But it's most rational in business to focus on the easy majority with lower costs, and ignore hard parts that don't lead to dramatically larger TAM.
Hilbert curves are used in modern data lakehouse storage optimisation techniques, such as Databricks' "liquid clustering" [1]. This can replace the need for more traditional "hive-style" partitioning, in which the data files are partitioned based on a folder structure (e.g. `mydatafiles/YYYY/MM/DD/`).

There’s the historian factor as well.

They’ve found that African Elephant populations are largely constrained by water availability. Creating artificial watering holes is helping restore elephant populations better than most other attempts.

But the matriarch is typically one of the oldest female members of the group, and elephants remember watering holes that they haven’t visited since they were young. During a drought they will check all of these secondary and tertiary water sources. If that elephant is killed by poachers, the herd may lose the last remaining record of water resources and suffer for it.

I also recall watching a documentary about a troupe of primates. They adopted a young male kicked out of another troupe. Nothing remarkable about him until, again, a drought year. Turns out not all knowledge of edible foods is instinctual. They discovered him eating a fruit none of the tribe had eaten before. When he didn’t die they all started eating it too.

So I think we underestimate the value of record keeping with respect to longevity and inter-group mixing. It’s not all genes and safety in numbers.

> I can't agree that this type of content is relevant when discussing straightforward OCR tasks on modern languages.

1682 is a number though, language independent, and you noted it as being extremely obvious to a human, even one who can't read any of the other language. So I do think the tools are useful, but people probably still need to be there for now until better models for this are made that stop getting especially obvious parts wrong.
Love this comment. It highlights a major misunderstanding of biology that many people who didn't study it in depth have: that every, or most features of living beings do not have an "evolutionary explanation." T-rex arms aren't short so they can open flowers - they just happen to be small because that's the type of creature that happened to survive after a lot of changes.
The US also has an enshrined freedom of association, and I personally believe the association rights of those users is being violated.

You are correct imho, but bear in mind there is a large minority of people who believe in people as "blank slates" that are only formed and influenced by environment. I think it's Quixotic to fix people that way but many would disagree.
Atlas Shrugged should be read the same way as Mein Kampf should be read. As a cautious tale about what evil people believe in. It should be read as a way to get into their disturbed heads see what they are thinking to better protect yourself from them.

Otherwise it is a quite boring book complete devoid of artistic merit.

If you are going to read Atlas Shrugged do not buy it new. I like to rummage around used bookshops and atlas shrugged is by far the most plentiful book there. That is no doubt because a lot of people buy the book because of the hype and then sell it because they are bored out of their skulls after twenty pages. So you can always get a pristine used copy for half price.

Is that the case or is that just assumed what the government means when they say issues of national security? I thought they meant our devices could be hacked by malicious code in TikTok apps.
I had this same issue recently. My Forgejo instance started to use 100 % of my home server's CPU as Claude and its AI friends from Meta and Google were hitting the basically infinite links at a high rate. I managed to curtail it with robots.txt and a user agent based blocklist in Caddy, but who knows how long that will work.

That’s what is assumed. But in reality it runs after the started process stops.
> totally circular reasoning that could be used to prove anything.

No, you can attack the reasoning by looking into actual costs. It seems like it can explain anything because we don’t constantly see examples where it’s false.

Looking at the costs to bees you see what percentage of them die from attacking mammal flesh and yep it’s a tiny rounding error.

Hypothetically, in a world without constraints mice could have a 100 foot long teeth, but we don’t live in a world without constraints.
I suggest you use a template, now it looks like it's AI generated.

10 gallons of fuel's worth of energy could be used to ask ChatGTP 100,000 questions (assuming 3 Wh per question) or power a digital clock (1-2 W) for 35 years. If you assume you ask ChatGPT 8 questions per day, it's using exactly as much energy as a digital clock. Personal use of ChatGPT is much closer to the clock.
At least for me, I think most non-religious people have larger issues with the seeming ideological contradictions rather than historical ones.

Ah, a printer's book weight calculator! (https://www.bookmobile.com/book-weight-calculator/)

Use the default size for a paperback in the calculator, 6.25" x 9", sounds reasonable.

Results:

Paperback is 595g.
Remarkable Pro is 525g.
Remarkable is 404g.
