This is deeply disturbing and I am not sure what the best way to prevent this is, or if there even is one. Does anyone working with agencies get subjected to surveillance even after they stop working with the agency? Do criminals identified have such large consequences to discourage others?

I see it as a 3 tiered hierarchy of satisfaction:

* 1 - If you manage to do something interesting/beautiful after struggling, doubting yourself and working through it, you come out with a tremendous sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, even though the day to day might have been miserable (in that sense the mountaineering comparison from the article is apt).

* 2 - If you get something interesting/beautiful after little (I don't mean no, I mean little) effort, you still enjoy it somewhat.

* 3 - If you struggle through something for a while, and come out at the end with nothing to show for it that you like or are proud of, it feels pretty terrible.

So it seems in your case you used do do (3), and now can do (2), which must definitely feel nicer.
But for people that can do (1), such as proficient artists, having to move to (2) feels like it's completely destroying the entire reason why they like to do this in the first place.

I bought a book a few years ago called The Artist in the Machine by Arthur Miller[0] and it covers a lot of early AI creativity. I wish they shelled out for more color pages, because I agree things like DeepDream and GAN art are very trippy and would have made it a great coffee table book. It's wild that it took just two or three more years for diffusion models to hit the scene and take the world by storm.

This sounds like what happens with Hotels.com where the hotel you just booked with said there was an issue with the payment that was submitted, and you must pay with this alternate payment method instead -- it turns out the hotel's account had been compromised and the thief/scumbag/scammer does this to all the hotel's bookings. The one we got a message from, apparently the respective hotel keeps having this happen over and over. My guess is the outdated computer they use has a keylogger or trojan on it and their accounts will just be forever compromised. Fun times.

> I'm not sure that there is a proven link between hacker news use and elevated probability of depression and anxiety in children and adolescents.

We can extend that thought further than just HN. The reporter (surprisingly!) brings up something we've known for a while but has been slow getting traction. That the relation between noted harms and SM is far from clear.

There really is not a super clear causal link between greater use of social media and upticks in anxiety and depression among teens.

More detail: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/12/18/yet-another-massive-stud...

Regarding youth mental health, there are strong causal competitors (to SM) that aren't well examined. Like the elimination of free roaming areas (from sq mi to sq ft), attacks on child independence (false stranger danger messaging) and car culture + trespassing culture (traded endless walkable areas for narrow death zones).

I argue that since mid-1900s, we've eradicated most of what kids needed to learn complex problem solving, develop ambition and earn self-esteem.

If I wanted to erode youth mental health, I'd do exactly what we've done. I'd get rid of irreplaceable environments where youth experienced critical growth.

Possibly after you started your reply, I edited my comment to add that it also assumes that creation specifically for paying the bills is inferior to creation for its own sake. This may be also not super controversial, but it is adjacent to "popular things aren't good" which is definitely pretentious.

You seem to think the President can do whatever he wants, in constrained by laws. Which may be true in this case, but because the laws aren’t being followed, not because they don’t exist.
Unrelated, but I just found out that Kagi will produce (AI generated) "quick answers" if you end your query with a question mark.
Engineering is creative. It's all about applying science to solve problems. And engineers love solving novel problems.

Software often seems more like cooking than engineering, where most of the staff of a kitchen is focused more on mastery of patterns and techniques than on innovations, though. A friend liked showing us all the tricky things he learned to do on his way to becoming a chef. My father the engineer liked to show us models of the industrial robots he'd designed and talk about how he overcame difficult design problems.

I may be wrong, but I understand this is because the company invests all of its income into its business - which means more jobs, work for other companies, and so on.

if only they were ever so slightly less afraid of nuclear reactors.
Making the reactor sufficiently maintainable is a technology problem.

There was a group that tried to analyze the expected uptime of DEMO, the pre-commercial follow on to ITER. With the expected MTBF (mean time between failure) and MTTR (mean time to repair) they estimated it would be working just 4% of the time. That's too low even for a research machine.

RAMI (reliability/availability/maintainability/inspectability) is one of the major issues for fusion, and even if nothing else stops fusion it alone will make the development process very long and iterative. Good RAMI requires long iterative improvement of individual components and processes.

One thing that as far as I know no single debuggers has (except FoxPro from DOS) is the ability to show a large list of things, but well

In general, if something is large (text, arrays, etc) all bets are off.

Basically, something like this:

The second thing that is very hard with debuggers, is to tell them what to skip.

Background for people who haven't been following along:

The water authorities were privatised to 'encourage investment' rather than the government footing the bill for maintaining and expanding them.

The new water companies were snapped up by big multinationals who didn't invest in infrastructure. Instead these newly-owned water companies then took humungous loans which they paid to the buyers. So the buyers got the money and the water companies got the debt to service.

Now everyone wonders why the water companies, who are charging more than ever and have a really failing system, are going bankrupt...?
Thats not true. Shareholders have rights beyond future profits. Those rights are governed by the constraints of the environment, and are part and parcel to the ownership of the shares. Zuck has a large amount of control both because of his ownership percentage and the ownership structure, but even with that amount of control the rights of the shareholders are not something he can change unilaterally.

Changing the incorporation location is absolutely a change to the ownership introduced to the shareholders after they buy into the shares. This is basic property rights stuff, not some sort of fringe theory.

Pretending that there is zero overlap between "crypto and blockchain bullshit" and p2p work is detrimental to everyone involved, there is serious p2p research and work being done both from crypto projects and from more traditional projects.

Turns out the job of the President is to faithfully execute the laws. And the laws have a hell of a lot to say about how things get done in the government. It is solidly settled constitutional law that those laws have to be obeyed.

The President also doesn't get to enforce traffic laws by random summary executions... which is where the idiotic "unitary executive" nonsense would land you if you, you know, actually thought about it for more than 15 seconds.

Serious question: If you never log back in, what does it matter if you have an account or not? An account I never use doesn't appear to have any affect on me.

By way of example, the Catholic Church holds enormous political power in the US by virtue of its claim to over 50 million members. When the Church speaks up, politicians sit up and take notes. Less than 25% of those members actually attend church weekly, but the others are still counted as "Catholics" because you have to go well out of your way to have yourself formally removed from the church membership rolls. [1] As of 2010 there is apparently no way to do that voluntarily at all.

Facebook works the same way. Once you're in, your account is never truly closed or deleted AFAIK. (I've tried.)

We may debate MAU versus other metrics for assessing user activity, but all the politicians see is "We have 3 billion accounts worldwide, over 250 million of them in the US." Like the church, Facebook is able to wield political power in your name even if you signed up many years ago and now disagree vehemently with everything they stand for.

It seems that the only guaranteed way to avoid this sorry situation, short of changing your name or faking your death, is to refrain from signing up in the first place.

Sounds like this is the result of "accelerated depreciation." As far as I can tell, that's a strategy that ultimately allows you to pay less tax one year and more tax in a later year. I don't have a strong feeling on the value of that particular tax law, but it seems somewhat less nefarious than the implied "not paying taxes at all."
Same immediate thought: the free option I provide on my production site is a model that runs on 2xA40. That's 96GB of VRAM for 78 cents an hour serving at least 4 or 5 concurrent requests at any given time.

O3 Mini is probably not a very large model and OpenAI has layers upon layers of efficiencies, so they must be making an absolute killing charging 3.3 cents for a few seconds of compute
Its due to carry forward of net operating losses from previous years, stock compensation deductions, and other depreciations and deductions.
> At this point I'm convinced that the endless AI hype and all the investment is purely due to hopes that it will soon put vast amounts of employees out of work

It's this part.

Salaries and benefits are expensive. A computer program doesn't need a salary, retirement benefits, insurance, retirement, doesn't call in sick, doesn't take vacations, works 24/7, etc.
I wish this article was written with a less biased tone. I'm genuinely interested in understanding it better.

As far as I can tell, the article cites two things: $500M tax savings by using an accelerated depreciation schedule (unclear if they saved $500M more by using accelerated vs a regular depreciation schedule, but I assume no) and they claimed $300M in tax credits.

The article doesn't address the other $1.5B, presumably because it's easier to defend. I didn't read through the 10-K to try and figure this out.

I don't really know enough about what an accelerated depreciation schedule implies, but, taken at face value, they'd have to pay more in taxes in a deferred year which doesn't seem like foul play to me. Tax credits seem to make sense for an EV company?

EDIT: I did some learning, woohoo.

Federal corporate tax rate in America is 21%. The $300M in tax credits is post-tax not pre-tax. The $500M is a pre-tax deduction.

$2.3B - $0.5B = $1.8B

$1.8B * 0.21 = $378M

$378M - $300M = $78M

So, I can't really explain why they didn't owe ~$78M in taxes, but I assume rounding and cursory other stuff. The article probably didn't call out other, minor deductions, but it's also fair of them to not have done so. I was wrong when I said, "The article doesn't address the other $1.5B, presumably because it's easier to defend."

I think the real thing here is the weaponization of EV tax credits as some sort of boogeyman. Personally, I'm all for incentivizing EV companies to create in America.

So much overreaction to this feature. You can turn it off, just look for it.

I think the AI summaries are super useful. 90% of the time it answers the question I have accurately and concisely, saving me time and effort.

The paragraph summaries give me a good overview of a topic, and the links to the original sources save me from scanning through tons of websites looking for details.

I never fully trust the AI summary, it's just a better way to look for information. I click on the reference link often to double check the source and the accuracy of the summary. I think I've only discovered a discrepancy once or twice.

Google isn't a utility, if you don't like Gemini, go use DDG or Bing.
Had the same problem while trying to decide which Roborock device to get. There's the S series, Saros series, Q Series and the Qrevo. And from the Qrevo, there's Qrevo Curv, Edge, Slim, Master, MaxV, Plus, Pro, S and without anything. The S Series had S8, S8+, S8 Pro Ultra, S8 Max Ultra, S8 MaxV Ultra. It was so confusing.
In what world is a massively profitable company paying almost nothing in taxes polarizing?
Typically in these tests you have three options "A is better", "B is better" or "they're equal/can't decide". So if 56% prefer O3 Mini, it's likely that way less than half prefer O1.also, the way I understand it, they're comparing a mini model with a large one.

Believe it or not, but people can be friendly and enjoy other people's company even if they have political disagreements. I'm not saying that is the case here, but some people aren't as obsessed with politics as you seem to be.

Trump was the first president to come into office supporting legal gay marriage so I doubt Cook being gay is an issue with Trump...
Yep. Paying taxes is the right thing to do for the country. Yet the system gets purposely broken, people lose faith that any system could work, tax dollars run for the shadows, and the cycle accelerates. I don’t know what the fix is. We need to restore faith, but you need revenue to build faith, and revenue depends on established faith.
