These deep brain surgical implants are the calomel of today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calomel

The logic is: we have no idea but must do something, surgical implants are something, let's do brain surgery and implant something!

My father died at the age of 82 from late stage Parkinson's, never got dementia but eventually whatever neurons in the brain control movements, they fail to do so not just for movement but also vegetative processes such as swallowing and gut transit so ... one cannot live without that. Also those neurons die so that can't be good. No amount of waves and vibrations can compensate for dead brain tissue.

Hard pass on the calomel. Come back when you actually got something that works.
Smart move. As a Verizon/Android customer, I'm a little miffed that my carrier is going with ASTS's quasi-vaporware over the proven Starlink constellation - baking support into the OS avoids unhappy customers and loaded *'s next to features.

Free software basically only exists because it’s subsidized by nonfree software. It also has no original ideas. Every piece of good free software is just a copy of something proprietary or some internal tool.
Only 20 lightyears sounds good, and the elliptical orbit within the habitable bounds sounds also good, comparable to our summer-winter shifts. Now they need to detect water
I think the answer says a lot indirectly. It seems fairly safe to say their purpose is classified, or more details would have been provided, because like you said this is obviously going to be unsatisfying. If it was something that Trump thought was dystopic and unnecessary (e.g. simply a psychological experiment to see how the population would respond) then he probably would have declassified and spilled the beans, if not only as a slight against Biden. So there's probably a reasonable enough justification for them, and a reasonable enough justification for keeping it classified.

And finally I know that around the time of the sightings certain radiological towers were showing significantly elevated radiation readings in the New Jersey area. In fact they still are [1], but substantially lower than when the drones were at their peak. So, to me, the most likely scenario is radiation related. Either carrying out research to more accurately model how how nuclear fallout might spread or perhaps working to refine the ability to remotely detect localized sources of significant radiation in case something like a 'suitcase bomb' or whatever ever came to fruition.

There were a bunch of similar studies carried out secretly in the past (for both biological and nuclear impact) like operation Sea Spray [2], but drones would enable far more effective modeling and tracking of the impact. The timing of this corresponding to increasingly hot conflict against the world's largest nuclear power would also further justify/explain such actions.

So they're not gonna explain it either.
Right?! robots.txt is basically a map to the inner secret parts of your website, the "real" content. Robots.txt is basically treated as "these rules are for thee, not for me" access control.

If you don't want your content crawled, you really need to put it behind a login of some sort (and watch it still get crawled regardless) or just not publish it at all. Sad state we're in.
If they really believe billions, trillions, the whole of human future is on the line, it’s going to get messy. American capitalists have excelled at ruthless competition by the sword (which is frequently the legal pen) since the days of pelts, gold, oil, etc.

Apparently Zuckerbucks has spent more, infation-adjusted, on GPUs for "AI" than Carnegie spent on libraries and, inflation-adjusted, Carnegie was wealthier than Schmuckerberg.

OpenAI issue might be that it is extremely inefficient with money (high salaries, high compute costs, high expenses, etc..). This is fine when you have an absolute monopoly as investors will throw money your way (open ai is burning cash) but once an alternative is clear, you can no longer do that.

OpenAI doesn't have an advantage in compute more than Google, Microsoft or someone with a few billions of $$.
I'm in agreement, really loved Svelte 1, 2, and 3, but the v5 changes feel like a needle scratch unfortunately.

I love Rich Harris' work and appreciate what he gives to the community, but man he loves to rethink things.
Or we could admit that UI design didn't start in 2004 and skeuomorphism vs. flat is a false dichotomy.
Trump did in fact explicitly say he “hadn’t heard of Project 2025” repeatedly during his campaign. Bullshit obviously, and his supporters were warned many times of this, but I still think it’s fair to say this specific set of actions isn’t what he explicitly campaigned on.
Or maybe they’re doing it because Starlink is by far the best and fastest growing satellite internet network in the world?

OAI hasn't exposed the CoT trace in the API. Just using OAI for creating more Q&A pairs, while slightly questionable, is neither controvertial nor a big issue.

(if this was substantially large, OAI would already know from the API bills).
It’s too hard to determine what pieces of your stack interact with public-facing services, particularly in a monorepo with thousands of developers. The effort involved and the legal risk if you get it wrong makes it an easy nope. Just ban AGPL.

That’s illegal.
This pearl clutching over piracy is extremely ironic in the age of AI. For years it's been said that piracy is akin to stealing money from creators of all sorts. And ostensibly to protect the rights of those creators we've had various laws and tech solutions like DRM in place. Those tech solutions are supplemented by further laws that make it illegal to break DRM even on content that you paid for and own. Apparently preventing people from breaking DRM on stuff they paid for, protects the rights of content creators somehow.

Yet in the midst of all this, AI companies can train their models on any and all content, with zero attribution let alone compensation to the people that created that content, and then rejoice at the number of those people that they'll put of a job. So it's a crime to pirate a movie to watch with your family, but take petabytes worth of data from millions of people to train an AI that you will monetize, and that is perfectly legal.
> Yes, correct, because SQL is awful at representing business logic, and foreign key constraints are business logic!

This strikes me as a unnecessary all-or-nothing argument. I would agree that you shouldn't put all your business logic in the database but that doesn't mean you shouldn't put any business logic in your database. If foreign key constraints are business logic then so are table definitions and column types. It's not awful for those things as it's literally built right in.

My advice is to ensure, as best as possible, that invalid states are impossible to represent. If you can't have an address without being attached to a client, make that impossible to represent in the database. It's one less thing you'll ever have to worry about.
"GPT4 will tell me Donbas is still Ukraine"

But is it though? What's really the meaning of which country a region belongs to? Once somewhere has been occupied long enough, it usually becomes de-facto theirs. But how long is long enough? Other countries either do or don't recognize it and usually a consensus is reached, but not always.
Yea fair, this is obviously a high level overview. I think I found with meltdown that I needed the assembly code. I also was able to reproduce it with actual C code if I recall correctly but that was way more finnicky.

"Hey, ChatGPT, what are the terms of service for Spotify?"

"I can't provide the full, up-to-date terms of service for Spotify, but I can give you an overview of some key points typically included. For the most accurate and comprehensive information, I recommend visiting Spotify’s official website and reading their Terms of Service directly. That said, here are some common points that are usually part of streaming platforms' terms:

1. *Account Creation and Use*: Users need to create an account to access Spotify’s services, and must provide accurate, up-to-date information. They’re responsible for maintaining the security of their account.

2. *Subscription Plans*: Spotify offers different subscription tiers (Free, Premium, Family, etc.). Terms often specify the limitations of each tier, such as access to ads, offline listening, and music quality.

3. *Content Usage*: Spotify provides users with access to music, podcasts, and other content. However, the usage is typically for personal, non-commercial purposes only. Users are not allowed to download, share, or redistribute content unless Spotify allows it (like through the Share button or via a playlist).

4. *Licensing and Intellectual Property*: Spotify owns or has licenses for the content available on the platform. Users are granted a limited, non-exclusive license to access and use the service, but they don’t own the content they listen to.

5. *Privacy*: Spotify collects data, including usage patterns and preferences, which they may use for things like recommendations, advertisements, and analytics. Their privacy policy will detail what information is collected and how it’s used.

6. *Cancellation and Termination*: Either party (Spotify or the user) can terminate the service agreement. Users can cancel their subscription anytime, but Spotify may also suspend or terminate accounts for violations of their terms.

7. *Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability*: Spotify usually limits its liability in case of issues like service interruptions, data loss, or content inaccuracies.

8. *Modifications*: Spotify may update or change its Terms of Service at any time, and users are typically notified of these changes. Continued use of the service after changes indicates acceptance of the updated terms.

9. *Governing Law*: There’s often a clause specifying which country’s laws govern disputes related to the terms, and how disputes will be handled (for example, through arbitration).

If you're interested in the full details, you can check Spotify’s official site or app, where their Terms of Service are readily available for review."
Also, regular non-emergency texting (iMessage or SMS) has been enabled for customers in the US and Canada.
Wow, I have morbid curiosity about how this will work out.

Democrats better hope that this crashes and burns, because if this shows any chance of being effective, we're in for a tough authoritarian ride.

I'm getting close to a building a honey pot, because I want responsible robots to be able to crawl my site! It's about sharing information after all. If it gets large enough to have a positive monetary benefit to me, I'd happily let the ai bots crawl it responsibly too.

> You seem to be deliberately trying to pervert the definition of habitable zone.

They're fine. Some people here are trying to overextend the definition and it's good to push back.

The habitable zone is about surface water. Pointing out that parts of the earth lack surface water for extended periods is a really good analogy to a planet that drifts in and out of the habitable zone.

I like using this with tusk, which is a golang cli a bit like make, but it uses yaml for the config. The shebang is

#!/usr/bin/env -s go run github.com/rliebz/tusk@latest -f

Then use gosh a golang shell for the interpreter

interpreter: go run mvdan.cc/sh/v3/cmd/gosh@latest -s

This makes it a cli can run anywhere on any architecture with golang installed
Impersonating a federal officer or employee is a crime. 18 U.S. Code § 912

(technically you have to obtain a document, money, or other thing of value to run afoul of that particular law, but getting a reply to a successful spoof might qualify, and who knows whatever other laws it might violate, 25 CFR § 11.432 perhaps).
> And make every government purchase ever, successful?

yes. From the POV of the supplier, every gov't contract is going to be profitable.

That's why the military industrial complex is so big, and profitable. It's why some people go into politics to extend it. Esp. in america.

> How do you measure the profitability of military aircraft?

what you truly meant is how to do you measure the value obtained from a purchase of a military aircraft. And scholars have studied this for centuries and not arrived at a true answer.
Boeing loses almost $1B every month in 2024
Honestly, I spent some time trying to script a graphic editing pipeline with either GIMP or magick, and no available model got me even close. DeepSeek specifically gaslit me with nonexistant CLI options, then claiming they did exist but were just "undocumented" when asked for source links.

Right now these can only help with things I already know how to do (so I don't need them in the first place), and waste my time when I go slightly off the beaten path.
$14 billion generates almost half billion $ interests each year with federal deposit insurance, that alone is like 17-18x of $30m. :)

Still the case in 2025, at least at all the universities I frequent.

I like reading through the oldest books in the collections and ones related to my field / hobbies, but other than that, I don't know of anyone who actually checks out books from the archives.

They've essentially become glorified quiet lobby areas that off-campus commuters use as a common space between classes.
I don't think the current sense is suicide exactly, but rather (hyperbolically) so sold on a (misguided) belief that you would commit suicide if, per that belief, they were "supposed to" do so. I agree that it would feel awkward to use it about someone who had actually killed themselves, but I think that's mostly because there's an element of (dark) humor to it.
Isn’t OpenAI blocking China?

In other words how could Deepseek, a Chinese company, have entered terms of service with OpenAI?
Yup. In a free market, there are no shortages.

We just have a glut of employers who do not want to pay market wages.

Ask HN: Has anyone else noticed posts critical of Musk being flagged?
Over the last several days I've seen several examples of completely comment-worthy, rational posts that have pointed out criticism of Elon Musk's conduct from other sources or criticized it themselves getting flagged very quickly. It seems that in all cases, they've rapidly been flagged despite covering information or debate that's perfectly reasonable for a site that shares noteworthy information about the world of tech. Needless to say, specific links about odd behavior from of the world's richest tech billionaire would presumably fall under a valid category..

It's a curious thing. I know that HN allows (rather stupidly I think) almost anyone among its readers to arbitrarily flag a post for whatever reason of their own, but you'd think that this would be monitored for signs of agenda-based flaggings. Apparently, frequently not.

My workflow these days is too start by writing a Python notebook that solves the problem. There's no faster way to iterate on writing something. Once it works I usually have o1 Pro write tests, clean it up, and then convert it to whatever language I actually need it written in.
Agreed with your rant, but this time they won't get it both ways. The cats not getting back in the bag, the papers are out there, the knowledge is out there. Let's say the US bans DeepSeek from operating in the country. Firstly, just look at immensely succesful crypto casinos like Stake, CSGO gambling websites etc for examples of how trivial this is to get around, but let's say enforcement here is stronger. How are you going to stop people running their models locally? How are you even going to tell whether a model originates from e.g. DeepSeek or Llama or whatnot? Provenance, lineage? Are you going to ban the running of LLMs by anyone not called OpenAI altogether?

They won't get it both ways not for lack of trying or will but lack of feasibility in this specific case. It's too easily accessible. The single way to do it would be to set up a level of surveillance and control that ironically only China has in place. And even if the current government openly becomes a dictatorship, it would take an incredible amount of time and dedication to get something similar in place.
Anything high value and perishable, like sushi grade fish for example. Or did you mean morally justifiable?
