I like the idea of every article about wikipedia describing Jimmy Wales as a pornographer-- maybe with some pictures of the Bomis Babes to really 'show and not tell'.
I would like to see a discussions on about ethics and symbolism. The hand on heart, and then a gesture of throwing it outwards towards the public while saying "My heart goes out to you" is a very different symbolic gesture compared to a salute were a person execute it by extending the right arm stiff to an upward 45° angle and then straightening the hand so that it is parallel to the arm. In term of symbolism, what create the difference in interpretation? How much does the context of the speech and speaker influence how the symbolic gesture get interpreted?

In terms of ethics, if the intention is to generate outrage in order to generate views and media coverage, does media coverage help or harm? Research on violence has has reached a fairly strong consensus that symbolism and displaying of cultural values is a major contributor for continued violence and conflicts. What should be the most effective (and ethical) strategy in reducing such display?

Thanks for your thoughts and for taking the time to write all the points you mentioned. I will try to address them one by one:

- You mentioned ALL research says symptoms return after 12 sessions + CBT being not effective: I will quote: "..on average, 40 months after the end of therapy. A long-term benefit was also seen in terms of remission of symptoms. In view of the fact that, at baseline, most CoBalT participants had severe and chronic depression, with physical or psychological comorbidity, or both, these results are noteworthy and have clear implications for clinical practice." from https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0...

- Re: £80 for 50 minutes in person 1 session Vs £80 for month-long support

- We don't aim to replace human therapists or the profound human elements you mentioned—intuition, transference, and interpersonal relationships. Instead, we aim to augment and complement. Ideally, we would like to place ourselves as proving support between sessions.

- We're not saying this approach is for everyone or every situation, but we do believe it can help where traditional therapy might be inaccessible.

- For confidentiality, we have BAA / HIPPA compliant

I’d be happy to discuss further if you have additional thoughts.
For signal then the issue becomes saving who owns what image (so that you can re-issue “passwords”) and THAT is much more dangerous to the users than simply allowing users to grab semi-anonymous links into their cdn with enough of a url to be nearly impossible to iterate through every combination without hitting tons of rate limits. (Ignoring this location cache timing issue.)

Edit: Actually... (in signal's case) it might be possible to provide the user's device 2 tokens, 1 to access the url and 1 to issue new access links. Then the user can request a new access link with their second token when their url access token expires. Signatures would help prevent it from needing to be stored in the database. It would be interesting to try.

Edit2: Also I am now curious... does this mean only text messages are e2ee? yikes.
I’m cofounder of an app called dateit an event planning and RSVP app we have been developing over the past couple of years. We started it because we noticed many of our friends were leaving Facebook, and group texts were becoming a hassle. While it might not have every feature you’re looking for just yet, we’re actively working to expand its functionality. In the future, we’re hoping to introduce features like communities and a public events feed.

You can check it out at https://dateit.com/ I’d be happy to offer you and maybe some others here free access to our premium features so you can experience everything the app has to offer. Just create an account and email me at rob@dateit.com and mention this post.

>But really containerizing the build environment is not related to deterministic builds

What would you say the goal of containerising builds is, if not reproducibility?
From my experience - that's mostly because courses are useless for career. So attending them is an optional, low priority activity.

If you could actually get a respectable degree or skills on a CV that matter for anything other than junior-most positions (if at all), you would see higher completion rate.

The quality of material itself is often pretty good. That varies from course to course of course, but I must say I started understanding electronics only after an edx course despite having it in my university.
Looking for Testers: A Free Hacker News Client with AI Features
I’ve been working on a free Hacker News client that goes beyond static article reading by using AI (Bring Your Own API Key) to dynamically enhance headlines and stories. The app aims to make news consumption more productive, customizable, and fun. (And yes, the app's "marketing" site is a bit of self-irony. :D)

The review process has been really really challenging and long, but I’m doing my best to address the concerns and make the app available for everyone.

Who Can Benefit?
Tech enthusiasts looking for an innovative way to engage with Hacker News.
People with learning difficulties, who can benefit from fast summaries and easy-to-digest recaps.
Sharing news as special customized and receiver specific summary to have even non technical people to intrest articles.

The app is available for testing via TestFlight (iOS) currently and will soon be open for internal testing on Android through Google Play when the review goes trough. There is also internal test available in google.

Note the app sites are bit deprecated as the app is iterated and developed bit forward more daily.

> I really do not understand why governments aren't working hard to make this kind of gig-economy illegal.

It makes money and the current governing/legal doctrine says the government should give a lot of leeway to that. Biden has been touted as the most pro-labor president since about LBJ, but a lot of this is just letting the NLRB mediate every individual starbucks that unionized.
I don't doubt those temperatures at all. But do you know what the relative humidity was? It's the combo that causes problems fast. 100 F and 60% RH is miserable and dangerous, but that's a wet bulb of about 90 F, so there's some marginal potential for your body to cool itself. 100 F and 95% RH is a WB of 98.6 F. Any heat generated in your body has no where to go.
sports analogy time! people like sports because sports defines rules, bounds and how to determine a fair outcome with a winner. These are all limitations that are not at all clear in real life. Some people say "money is the measure of success in the games of business" and that supports the scarface point of view. Others point to the "journey" and talk about life occurring at the same time, factoring in family and personal emotions. Both are useful, neither are completely true.
dang, first I think you do a great job.

That said, I have to call out 'almost no information'. There are videos and photos from multiple angles of Elon making this salute, very intentionally, in a very specific way, stylistically matched both times. Seems like a heck of a lot of information is being ignored and too much graciousness is being given that would not be in any other situation. Elon has endorsed extremely right wing German nationalist party, has come as close as humanly possible to publically aligning with 'white replacement theory' as possible, interacts with nazis/white nationalists on Twitter. Be honest, you wouldn't give two recorded on video seig heil passes to anyone else as 'almost no information'. Dude. Come on. Look at the multiple angles. Confusion on this is forced confusion because people don't want to admit the reality.

That's probably correct (with the caveat that I suspect NSA/FSB/MSS/Mossad/whoever can reasonably be assumed to have backdoored Fortinet)

There is still the problem that an attacker with "global passive observer" capabilities (which almost certainly includes most non 3rd world nation states, and probably a few of the more problematic 3rd world ones too) can still do traffic analysis to uncover your social network (or criminal/terrorist/whistleblower/journalistic network) by identifying the call traffic endpoints.

We have local community groups on FB. One for our hamlet of about 50 houses. Some households refuse to join as they don't do Facebook. I only do Facebook because of the local group. I long ago gave up trying to fill those people in. It is somewhat of a pain.
That's a subtle, yet important point. Putting themselves out there is not easy for some. LLMs can take that pressure away.

The 'but' in that lies with how much freedom is given to the LLM. If constrained, its refusal to answer may become a somewhat triggering possibility.
That's mostly reasonable. But for some people at least, the PhD doesn't give them all the skills they are looking for, so they might do another post-doc (2-3 years at slightly better than PhD lifestyle), before jumping ship.
So he didn't create the vaccine, and he didn't provide most of the money spent on eradication, but he did sit down for a nice long dinner with an administration that is now pulling funding from the WHO and other international health organizations.

In the meanwhile, the technocrat administration we just got is putting the anti-vaccine activist RFK Jr up as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The progress we have made on eliminating Polio is at risk directly because of actions taken by this crop of billionaires. That is more on Musk and Zuckerberg than Gates, but these people cannot be trusted to use the power and influence they have for anything other than self-enrichment.

Look up Beau Miles on YouTube for more in this vein of unconventional adventures.

Personally, I am a fan of exploring local waterways in the smallest, simplest boat you can find. The smaller the boat, the bigger the adventure. I recently built a folding 6 foot sailboat that I can sail with my young kid to a “distant shore” and pack up and carry home via public transport or Uber when we get there. Learning to build a boat- and traveling all around to find the right wood and materials was itself a great adventure.

Ultimately, being the first to do something only matters for recognition, something people are too obsessed with nowadays. It is just as fun to do something you’ve never done before as something never at all done before- either way it’s new to you! Don’t tell anyone about it, don’t make it a social media spectacle, just do it for yourself.
The WHO is a mechanism to allow a degree of cooperation among the world’s nations on matters of public health. It’s imperfect, as any organisation with such a difficult scope would be.

But the world needs some way to cooperate, especially in matters of public health which do not care about national borders. Casually throwing that away for short term political theatre is so painfully stupid.

Also, no one kowtows to the WHO and no one gives up national sovereignty over their own health decisions. What led you to believe this?
Trump announces a $500B private AI infrastructure investment
We talked about something like this for parents on HN not long ago. Definitely monetizable.
Interestingly I made this same exact thing a few years ago for a company I worked at.

Raspberry pi connects to the printer, pi runs a daemon, Daemon connects to a central server and downloads stuff to print, server runs an API with a friendly endpoint.

Difference with mine is that I used CUPS on the pi and generated PDFs for it. I supplied a custom PPD to make the printouts extra crisp, but other than that the OS handled it for me. What I wrote was little more than a PDF generator and a basic spooler.

I can attest that this method is very reliable, if you're looking for confirmation that this architecture can be used in production.

I do question whether it's worth paying for this as a SaaS though. Speaking as someone who has built this, I'd probably build it again and it doesn't take long to get "good enough". The bulk of my time was spent on improving the printout quality from the built-in driver. Which was fun but unnecessary.
Also, some people have 'religious experiences' that set their minds on certain paths. Whatever the underlying neuroscience is, it results in qualia that is hard to ignore.

I'm a 2nd generation atheist who suffers from depression. Years ago I read evidence that religious practices could alleviate it. I was kind of desperate so decided to brainwash myself into becoming a believer for about a half of a year. Overall, it was pretty effective. I had to eventually disengage because of the cognitive dissonance, but the positive effects have lingered.

This is the old "siiiiiir why do we need to do this if we have calculators"? It matters - https://www.edweek.org/education/little-numbers-add-up-to-bi... Students who know the facts will be better at math.

Even if the computer is doing all the thinking, it's still a tool. Do you know what to ask it? Can you spot a mistake when it messes up (or you messed up the input)? Can you simplify the problem and figure out what the important parts of the problem are? Do you even know to do any of that?

Sure, thinking machines will sometimes be autonomous and not need you to touch them. But when that's the case, your job won't be to just nod along to everything the computer says, you won't have a job anymore and you will need to find a new job (probably one where you need to prompt and interpret what the AI is doing).

And yes, there will be jobs where you just act as an actuator for the thinking machine. Ask an Amazon warehouse worker how great a job that is :/

Everything is the same as with calculators.

> The part often glossed over is that while the U.S. and Russia both have large oil reserves and domestic production capabilities, China has virtually nothing in comparison.

China is 13th of the list with an estimated 25.1 billion barrels of untapped oil reserves.

The U.S. is 9th in the list with 55 billion barrels. Venezuela tops the list with and estimated 303 billion barrels.

China also has a long term strategic policy on resource management. Long term strategic planning is deep within Chinese cultural psyche.

Wondering around certain regions of China you’ll see many capped wells, and when you ask a Chinese official about them, one may be lucky to get the real answer as to why they are capped and not being used.

The answer given was “why use ours now? We use everyone else’s until it’s all gone, and then we use ours”.

China is playing the long game. It’s a slow patient 2000 year old culture that had an odd blip 100 years ago and is now moving back to business as usual. Underestimate China at your peril.

I was born in 83, and yeah this drives me nuts too. My cohort will be like, "I hate social media; it's done bad things to kids, society, and me personally, but I have accounts on all the major platforms, I spend at least 2 hours a day on them, I might even work at one or even aspire to be an influencer."

Good lord it's so annoying. We're in charge now! We're literally writing gushing posts about Bluesky when it's solved exactly zero of the problems Twitter had (I guess it won't automatically switch you back to algorithmic feed, but honestly probably just give it time to enshittify).

I'm also a very logical and evidence-driven person by nature who has gone through similar since losing my faith. It's not for everybody, but I've gotten a lot of enjoyment from Stoicism. There are tons and tons of books on the subject that vary in quality, and unfortunately I can't recommend any specific ones because at this point I've read so much of them that I don't remember where certain ideas came from, but I definitely recommend the writings of Seneca. Marcus Aurelius' writings are great too.

There was absolutely nothing for millions of people to believe Elon had either nazi ideology or saw Nazi mannerisms as a valid populist angle before yesterday, I myself found this development very enlightening - and this is where I first found it.

As for the rest of your comment; ironically, I think flagging this as early as it was (I was there) was more reflexive than any comment you'd find in this thread. I understand where you’re coming from because moderation is crucial when discussions go off the rails. But there’s room for thoughtful conversation here, beyond the hot takes. Some comments will be reflexive or partisan, but letting the discussion happen (with supervision) can surface more reflective points, too. Shutting it down early misses those insights - in fact, it's caused more negatively reflective points on the trend of moderation here.
