I wonder if the "literacy" about AI is not so much about the inner workings of the technology, but about the broad ramifications of its use.

It takes at least a wee bit of sophistication to go from "this is a neat search engine, and it can help me with my writing tasks" to "the stuff that's generated by this thing is going to affect society in unpredictable ways that are not necessarily positive."

A similar spectrum of attitudes may already exist for social media, where the term "algorithm" predated the term "AI."
Nobody cared that gold conducted electricity until very recently in human history.
I once tried to do something like that, but I stopped when trying to deal with the CuraEngine CLI...

I don't know if other slicers have a better CLI, or even if they have a CLI...
Yup I’ve been in that one. It has a wonder retro style, and yes with its 2 seats and 2 seats setup it seems very narrow inside.
In the long run, probably yes, but a particular stock is less likely to be accurately value in the short run.
That's a fine and reasonable take, but that's not what the article is about at all

> those with less understanding may see AI as magical and awe inspiring. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools.

> this link between lower literacy and higher receptivity persists even though people with lower AI literacy are more likely to view AI as less capable, less ethical, and even a bit scary

What you’re describing is probably being detected and flagged as fraud or money laundering by software. If they didn’t have protection in place this would be abused. You can use test credit cards.

They have obligations to shareholders to not allow fraud because that is their entire business on the line. I would assume their end of the integration is more like electricity and always on/working and if there are issues I’d be looking at my code first.

I disagree in part with Trump's idea of Palestinians moving out of Gaza to Egypt and Jordan, not the least because it's violence incarnate. It's akin to the Trail of Tears[1] which was one of the most shameful bits of our history.

Now, why do I say in part? Because I am also appreciative of the sad reality that peace in the Holy Land simply is not possible with more than one sovereign state in it. It simply isn't, there are so many peoples who would kill and die over that piece of land that any multi-state arrangement is practically impossible. I don't care if it ends up being Israel or Palestine or some other country or entity ultimately in charge of the Holy Land, but it's inevitably going to be one and the path to get there will not be pretty.

I also find Trump's executive order on delaying the banning of TikTok legally (IANAL) dubious. His reasoning is that his administration hasn't had enough time to understand it and thus sufficiently execute the law as written, but the law doesn't provide for such an out. The courts can have their say if it comes to that.

As a Japanese(-American), Trump's seemingly apathetic position on Japan is somewhat concerning. However, the Japanese government also has its share of blame to take. Consolation is that Trump has been very cordial with the wife of the late Shinzo Abe and also Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son, which means he at least has some level of care for Japan, and it's not like US-Japan relations would go completely sour anyway.

By and large though, I am satisfied and happy with what Trump has done and accomplished so far. I voted for this and I still stand by my vote. Let's Make America Great Again, any friends and allies who want to tag along are very welcome.

It doesn't matter if they did or not. If they supported Trump they would have voted. Ergo the majority of people don't support him. Non voters are still people, last I checked.
The work outing, my favorite episode.
That's an interesting insight.

I have another probably simplistic insight.

I've gone on vacation and taken photos of the sights. wow, look at that beach/mountain/breathtaking view, etc. Later viewing them, they are usually kind of dull.

But if you put a friend or family member in the landscape, they become 1000x more memorable. keepers. Like your advice, unposed and just in the frame can be more powerful than a posed image.
You know, I never dove but I always wonder, why do deep divers not breathe a nitrogen-free atmosphere before they dive to flush out the nitrogen? I understand astronauts do this too (they breathe pure oxygen but at a lower pressure so it's not dangerous). And because this a sudden pressure drop won't give them the bends.

It would seem simple, being able to deep dive then without decompressing. I'm sure there's a good reason it's not being done, I just wonder what.
Probably not for their engine control unit or their abs controller.
1. They don't believe the systems will collapse. Musk (to just use him as an example) has a meme-level understanding of the government and macroeconomics, so they may not be judging the risks very correctly.

2. They don't care if the systems collapse, as long as they wind up with more than everyone else.
TikTokin' in the Freed World: Social Media's New Payola Scandal
> I asked because I realized there's something we probably already agree on, as long as one twist is accounted for.

I'm sure we'd agree on many matters, at least those that belong squarely to the material realm. That's the good thing about material realm that as people think more and figure out more they gravitate towards unitary understanding of reality. Conversely when people ponder religious subjects they tend to very quickly split into myriad of denominations, each with their own mutually contradictory perfect revealed truths plain to understand, at least according to them.

> Even while we may disagree whether God exists, we can agree that such fake faith healers are criminals when money gets involved, right?

Even on moral matters we might largely agree, as long as we stick to humanistic morality, as distilled in Western culture with roots in biology of being members of a very social species. It's only when a person gets close to religion their morality gets twisted and evil starts to look like good and some good starts to look like evil.

I can fully agree that exploiting guillibility of others (esp vulnerable ones) for your own benefit (whatever it might be, monetary or not) and at their detriment, stealing their money, wasting their time and messing up their model of the world so it's less aligned with reality, is in fact a very evil. And any moral being should easily recognize evilness of it.

> I think you can agree everyone's Priority Number One Arrow should point at God. When someone's arrow isn't pointed at God, that's idolatry.

If in your religion giving someone your top priority is how you properly worship a God and only God deserves this kind of priority than yes, giving top priority to anything else (a hobby, a scam, but also your child, elderly parent or a beloved spouse) might be seen as idolatry from the point of view of your religion. It fits the definition of idolatry I cited. I hope it's not lost on you how evil it is, at least to anyone for anyone who's morality was not twisted by religion, to demand you don't give your loved one a top priority, because of how much harm to individuals and society that demand does bring.

> If this makes sense, let me know and I can get to the twist. Or maybe you can figure out the twist before I say it.

Please do continue. I'm curious where do your thoughts lead. Unfortunately I can't offer any guess.

I really don't get why it took so long for a bank to buy Discover.

It seems like such a good deal to get higher margin and then you could ultimately offer consumers better cashback or w/e rewards than a less vertically integrated card could.
If your provider supports IMAP, you can use imapsync https://imapsync.lamiral.info/ to sync emails between two mail boxes. I did it a few times and it was straightforward.
If you need to test in production, have a family relative or friend buy the product/subscription and then make them whole offline. Also, do not reverse or refund the transaction.
Have you considered that it isn't that these people don't understand or can't express their motivations, beliefs, and values, but rather that they feel zero need to justify them to you or anyone else who questions them with the sole intent of proving themselves correct?

In essence, any nation that relies on the US for military protection or support.

While I don’t agree with Trump’s methods (nor do I wish to see war), both the US and our allies have grown complacent.

Some in Europe believe we have economy of scale in terms of military and output, but this belief is many decades out of date.
Useful list, thank you!
I much prefer surfing without JavaScript. If I need to enable it for something temporarily, that’s fine. I just don’t want to leave it enabled all the time.

With Google search’s new landing page for those without JavaScript enabled, even if you enable JavaScript and reload, it just gives you the same ‘fail’ page. No matter what you do at that point Google deletes your search string and you need to retype it.

Just changed my default search to DDG and I’ll be looking into Kagi.

Clippy was extremely useless. It was really good at being annoying and nothing else. It still carries that reputation to people that used it.

There were many early memes around it. "I see you're slamming the keyboard in frustration, will I turn on caps lock for you?"

There's no way they'll want to associate copilot with that. It would be a huge marketing fail.

On the other hand, Microsoft marketing is the worst in the industry by far so yeah it's kinda surprising they haven't gone there :)
Recent models will brick themselves after a few shots if you don’t do the online registration and activation process.
Thanks for the sober perspective.

I really wonder what "losing the AI race" (typically meaning USA vs China) is supposed to indicate.

They have a better LLM or something......and then what? A rogue chatbot takes over the world or something?

We're like two plus years into being a few months away from LLMs taking every office jobs, and I'm still at a total loss as to where this is all supposed to go or what I'm even supposed to be sold on.
I'm really happy to see OpenSCAD stuff here in HN. Of course it has some downsides (not being able to measure an object is the main one...), but it is an underrated tool.

I'm using it as my main 3D modeling tool for three years, and I even gave I course about it last year. No regrets, and I never felt that I needed to learn Fusion or similar
Change bash history completion to complete what's on the line (2010)
> Civil rights protestors were clearly breaking the law when they sat at diners that wouldn't serve black people.

Sure, and then they let the police arrest them because the sight of peaceful people being hauled off to jail for sitting at the wrong diner or on the wrong seat on the bus is the statement. It’s called civil disobedience; Thoreau both practiced it and wrote about it a century before the civil rights movement. What none of those people did was try to obscure the fact that they were breaking the law or evade the consequences. Their plan was to go to jail over and over again to make the injustice of the system constantly manifest. So how does this even remotely apply to the article, which is about trying to avoid legal consequences?
The readme says that it’s a demo. Sounds more like source available than open source in that case. Or has it changed to open source and the readme is out of date?

Also, is the available source complete or does it download any additional components from your company when you run it that are only available in binary form?
I have my own server for a few mailboxes as well but the spam detection isn't great. I still receive emails from Ukrainian billionaires who want to wire me all their money for safekeeping.

I use rspamd, which is supposed to be great. How are you dealing with spam?
Yes, if you like it and use it. No if you prefer something else. Rails has a ton of stuff readily available with a base installation and a large community with deep knowledge. There are some cool new things that also came out recently that provide working defaults which allows a person or team to start working on biz requirements and stop futzing around with tech stacks.

The tech stack isn’t likely to be the deciding factor for a startup being successful these days. Pick whatever you or the team works best with.
My earlier response didn’t do a great job addressing the core issue. To improve, I’ve introduced a new tier: "Starting at $7 / Public Docker Image / Month." This provides more clarity for smaller setups while still allowing flexibility for larger use cases through tailored plans.

Right now, I’m keeping a queue to ensure every customer gets a consistent and high-quality experience as we grow. Thanks again for your feedback.
How am I assuming that? If those non-wealthy people haven't objectively studied both candidates, how does that make it less likely that the wealthy are able to exert outsized influence on government policy (either by directly taking part or lobbying)? Trying to distract people by redirecting their unhappiness towards convenient targets that are unrelated to wealth is pretty much exactly what I'd expect from someone wanting to enact a pro-wealthy agenda that doesn't actually help the average voter at all.
Except develop apps for the Apple platform. Or use any of the new features of the Apple macOS. Or soon receive any security updates.
But that's my lived experience. I play Xbox games with friends who are playing on an Xbox console, but I'm playing on my Windows-based Legion Go or my Windows PC on a desk at home or even cloud rendered through a web browser on a Linux box.

Xbox isn't just a single physical hardware device. Its a platform for playing games.

I do agree though, the naming patterns for their consoles has been absolutely atrocious. I consider myself somewhat of a gamer but if you just gave me the list of consoles there's absolutely a non-zero chance I'd fail at picking the rankings of performance and age.
Rubbish, on all counts. Public health discussion constantly gives rates and percentages, not just numbers. And “they’ve been warning us so many times” - well, I hope you’ve also given up on applying security updates to any software or hardware you manage, since those have been getting issued forever, they must be crying wolf too.

It's time to reinstall Office 2010, the last known good 64-bit version of Office.
I think that is indeed the plan as far as I can tell
Maybe because I'm not originally from this country my view is different, but I think the fact the majority of the world's increase in population is about to happen in extremely poor places that will be subject to the worst of climate change means that the AI will have to be immensely powerful to actually increase worse imbalances than we're already headed for.

So powerful that it'd also raise the floor on quality of life for the 8 billion people on earth almost with ease, even if its owners stayed deeply profit/power motivated.

After all, it's not like the tech bros will get to make money by hoarding the AI and it's fruits after all. They need to apply to downstream tasks to actually cash in on its value. They could hoard the AI itself, but if OpenAI was suddenly able to break into every industry with a tireless AI army of top engineers and researchers they'd still be be producing real advancements for the world.

(and to be clear that's closer the worst timelines where AI advances so greatly. I think the more realistically we'd seem competition lead to something much closer to widespread advancements rather than some singular superpower emerging)
I just don’t understand why they shut them down in the first place. They couldn’t have cost much to keep running. They provide a huge amount of value in the form of free support for their products. What am I missing?
Ah that's an interesting tidbit. I have a Wealthsimple account through my (YC company) employer. The Desmarais (Power corp folks) gave me a scholarship back in the day. I hadn't made the connection.
Bit weirded out by the idea that it installs via a batch file that the Readme dedicates a chapter on how Windows will flag it as a Trojan. As well as the fact that it mentions it is a 30 minute demo, but only does so buried in the Readme. Just feels suspicious to me.

Due to quirks in how I speak most dictation apps fail me miserably and I don’t like giving apps a lot of microphone access. I think dictation would be great, but sometimes is hard to do so at the speed one can think and type - I am hopeful for more technologies in the future that help disabled people gain more technical use, whether that be sci fi stuff like neuralink, or more friendly web protocols towards screen readers and stuff. Seems like LLM’s slot in to some layers there, somewhere, to me. One of the only great uses I get out of it is it greatly saves on my typing with code complete + vim. Fewer keystrokes is good for anyone’s hands, and it seems good at predicting what you want to do rather than what it thinks you should do.

There are some apps that detect fake base stations monitoring your traffic

There are apps that uses accelerometer and gyroscopic sensors to detect if phone is snatched execute certain action based on this

Use app lock, so in case your phone is opened, apps will still be locked --> lock galley + filesExplorer(any) + settings + playstore + Browser(All installed) + Cloud/RemoteDrives(any) + Any syncing apps + Contacts + Email+messaging apps etc

(Hell all apps for utmost paranoia)

Use apps that remotely sync your phone specific folder/gallery every time new file is created (So when taking photos or recordinf something, if pbone got snatched, data is deleted + phone is broken or formattef/wiped against your will, your files have already synced to remote location so no worries

I can't speak for Purely, but every one I've tried has had an "import from [previous provider]" feature because that's basically just "pull from imap".

Otherwise: for ~20 years now I've been able to just attach two imap accounts in thunderbird, and drag to move/copy everything from one to the other, and that'll just chug away until it's done. I've never had an issue doing that.
I would clarify that there’s a disconnect between what the party leadership thinks (Schumer with his “we’ll pick up two moderate republicans for every working class white we lose”) and the base. My dad is a straight ticket Dem voter and he stayed home this year, and Cheney and Blinken were part of the reason. But I also think the base is a little in denial about how many Romney 2012 folks are now in their coalition. Obama-Trump voters were 13% of Trump’s coalition in 2016. They were obviously replaced by a bunch of Romney-Clinton voters because the race was close overall.
Social media could have been utopian, too, yet those apps are algorithmic manipulation hellscapes that threaten to bring down even the most robust democracies. The same people who make it so are poised to be the ones in control of these AIs. I don't think they want the kind of utopia you imagine.

Experiments consistently and repeatedly show that when given practical descriptions of policy actions and outcomes, the majority of Americans do not choose the ones that republicans promote. BUT when told that they are Republican policies, then about half of Americans do support those policies.
I’m honestly not sure what it is.

Hindsight is 20\20, the company probably would have been better off thawing itself until lockdown ended then going right back to what it was doing (that’s what their main competitor did, and while rumors of their demise always abound, externally they’ve grown and raised more rounds).

One of the founders is a niche big-shot in the VC world and well connected. I assume eventually they’ll be acquired for an undisclosed amount of $0. It’s been a year since I left and until this post I’ve been shocked it’s yet to happen. Now I wonder if they are waiting until they payed out all the money they raised as salary to play that card because otherwise they need to give the money up for no real benefit other than continued employment.

> No arbitrary limits. Have as many users and store as much mail as you want.

There is absolutely a limit. If you don't think you have a limit, it's because you don't have your asshole building his too-clever, "mountable PurelyMailFS" project or whatever yet. So you have a limit, but you aren't telling us what it is, or you don't know what it is. And an unknown arbitrary limit is worse than an arbitrary limit.

EDIT: I WAS WRONG. They bill by storage size & queries if you use "significantly more than $10 in resources" -- which is still vague and arbitrary but probably not a lot of users in the murky grey area.
What else are you trying to say with “not in a position to clearly anticipate the ramifications”?
