The reason is business demands. Maybe it's not the sexiest reason for ideological users or simple PC operators, but it's undeniably why systemd is the standard now. Enterprise applications (which comprise the vast majority of Linux users) needed to aggregate their reliability and observability data of their servers to deploy faster and keep their backend healthy.

There was a time, in the 1990s, when UNIX heavily leaned into the idea of multiuser multiprocessing. That philosophy is pretty much dead in a world that prioritizes networked systems, Docker images and idempotent deployment. Most Linux boxen are cattle, not pets.
I'd go out on a limb and guess that the advice is meant for people who don't find them useful.

I don't, for two reasons. First, for looking up facts, they're nowhere near 100% dependable. If I need to check sources, might as well start there. Second, if someone made the effort to put useful content on the internet, I can grace them with a click.
a killer feature would be adding a dep tree like make and using goroutines to process the tree concurrently .
I think that's fair. It is akin to a business establishing email etiquette for it's employees.

Now, if it were the government telling citizens to not use pronouns in their emails, that of course would be overreaching.
They had several opportunities to appeal, which they took advantage of, and which _reduced_ their liability at each step
It's not always like that. Most of the team would be hired to move protobufs around for the Torment Nexus so it seems quite innocuous.

Thanks for the Lander pointer. Virus blew my mind when I first saw it, those decades ago. Now to restrain myself from hours in the source code.
Explicitly considered. The ultimate fine is much _less_ than it could have been under the controlling law.
I think there's some of that, but our current era - probably fueled by social media itself - seems to be producing something else entirely.
Anybody talking about “battery fires” without specifying the chemistry is just showing their ignorance.

I guess it depends on what the ID data is? If it's just a couple pictures and maybe not even your name then there's not much impact in a leak.
They could move the HQ without changing where they are incorporated. They also don’t need political support. It’s not a democracy. There are no steps.
Also for me. 8b and 32b are Qwen based, 7b and 70b are Llama based. Trying the same queries against qwen2.5:7b produces markedly different results (sanitized vs. blocked entirely), however, so there must be some interplay between the foundation model and distillation accounting for the difference.
> Which we somehow did not have for the last few decades. I wonder why.

Speak for yourself. Lots of us spent many man-months over years engineering around crusty 80s abstractions that no longer worked.
Agreed - API calls to China are indeed not necessary. My impression is that the GP was referring to the model being tuned during training to give subtly nudging or wrong answers that benefit Chinese industrial or intelligence operations. For a probably not-working example - imagine the following prompt: "Write me a cryptographically secure PRNG algorithm." One could imagine R1 being trained to have a very subtly non-random reply to that - one that the Chinese intelligence services know how to predict. Similar but more subtle things can be generating code that uses cryptographic primitives in ways that are subject to timing attacks, etc... And of course, simple but effective propaganda tactics such as : when being asked for comparison between companies/products, subtly prefer Chinese ones, and similar.

The article was for normal folks, not for techies for whom this obviously was a joke. My mom would totally believe that the traffic goes via Carribea.
The privacy concerns and “ID everyone” are the boring, standard dystopian parts of this, perfectly in line with the government-by-nannying that Canberra types enjoy.

The better question is what counts as social media? Is HN social media that under 16yo Australians need to be kept away from?
As a followup, I just want to point out that I use slack at work, but it’s price per user makes it impossible to use at any non-profit, for any open source project, or simply to use with a large association of people.

Eh, you can still judge them.
I work with ML and I am bullish with AI in general; said that, I would pay between 5 to 10 USD a feature or toggle called “No AI” for several services.

For myself I noticed 2 bad effects in my daily usage:

- Search: impossible to reach any original content in the first positions. Almost everything sounds like AIsh. The punctuation, the commas, the semicolon, the narro vocabulary, and the derivative nature of the recent internet pages.

- Discovery: (looking directly to you Spotify and Instagram) here I would add in the “No AI” feature another one “Forget the past…” and then set the time. I personally like to listen some orthogonal genres seasonally. But once that you listen 2 songs in a very spontaneous manner Spotify will recommend that for a long time. I listened out of curiosity some math rock, and the “Discovery Weekly” took 9 weeks to not recommend that anymore.
What even is this notation??
I don't think people with skin in the game are as cavalier about Vance as you are. He is after all, a heartbeat from the presidency whose incumbent will become the oldest on record - you probably don't want to be on his bad side - just in case. If he calls you, you probably want to pick up the phone and hear him out.
You asked a very subjective, opinion-based question, and called the answer offered "objectively horrible" and "speculative". That doesn't seem to make sense, besides being unnecessarily antagonistic.

Re: Downvotes - You said, "I asked a perfectly reasonable question and was downvoted", then went on to say something about downvoters having their blinders on. That's sarcastic complaining. In general, commenting on your own downvotes like that looks bad (underdog syndrome), is distracting, and also self-fulfilling (complaining about downvotes is something that invites downvotes).
Thank you for articulating this!

We're all susceptible to this "it won't affect me, because <insert-reason-here>" kind of thinking. Dimensions like "level of education", wealth, etc. don't really factor into it.

excerpt below (Gabriela is an undocumented immigrant):

Some, like Gabriela, believe it won't impact them at all.

"I'm not scared at all, actually," she said. "That's for criminals to worry about. I pay taxes, and I work."

"In any case, I'm undocumented," she added. "[So] how would they even know about me?"
I chuckle when people were worried about China. The call is coming from inside the house. We have met the enemy and he is us.

> Legislation introduced by Rep. Randy Hultgren (R-IL) in 2016 to end the use of the Biographical Questionnaire, was signed into law as part of a larger bill that reauthorized the FAA through September 2017. The reauthorization passed by Congress included language to eliminate the discredited Biographical Questionnaire, however, according to the FAA’s own current website, the Biographical Questionnaire is still in use by the FAA today.

Abolished in theory, but apparently not in practice.
OP thinks IDEs are toys. I think Vim is a toy (beyond its functionality as an editor where it is definitely not a toy).

I've been using IntelliJ for at least 10 years now.

If you have used it, you know what I'm talking about.

IDEAVim plugin provides Vim key bindings and Vim editing mode, so it has the best of Vim and an IDE in one application.

Refactoring and navigation in IntelliJ is superior to whatever you can hack together in Vim. You can integrate Vim with a language server but then what's the point? Just use an IDE.

At work we are forced to use a specific IDE. It's a niche programming language not supported by any other software. Vim is not an option.
It's very libertarian. No taxes, few regulations. Some people die here and there from the lack of safety, but that's a sacrifice the government is willing to make.

Promptfoo, the authors of the "1,156 Questions Censored by DeepSeek" article, anticipated this question and have promised:

"In the next post, we'll conduct the same evaluation on American foundation models and compare how Chinese and American models handle politically sensitive topics from both countries."

"Next up: 1,156 prompts censored by ChatGPT "

I imagine it will appear on HN.
A reasoning model is not meant for writing poetry. It's not very useful to evaluate it on such tasks.
Probably they are doing so well because there are not endless meetings on customer friendly names
Would be interesting to research possible censorship bypass-resistant LLM. Or instead of blatantly censors the LLM shall convincingly assure the user with specific point of view.

It is initially inconvenient, but like anything else, once you get the hang of it, you can begin to feel relieved that you actually have custody over your money, that it won't be seized from you.
- Most LM tools support the openai API. Llama.cpp for example. Swapping is easy.

- DeepSeek chose to open-source model weights. This makes them inifinitely more trustworthy than ClosedAI.

- Local/national regulations do not allow using OpenAI, due to close ties to the US government.
That makes the result stronger though. Even though many people click randomly, there is still a 12% margin between both groups. Not the world, but still quite a lot.
There are already efficient models that can generate single images in real time as fast as you can type the prompt. I wonder if you could tweak this approach to instead generate a page full of static thumbnails on submitting a query (using different seeds for each result), and then upscale the desired image when clicked.
We appear to be wishing for writing tons of boilerplate with nonsensical use of implicits

Yes agreed, and not to knock people, but I worked with and around other artists for some years, and frankly many people really don't have some deep meaning around what they make, they just have a "style" and make things around that with a sprinkle of some meaning (which in some cases I suspect is added after the fact).

When I was younger I'd get into mild arguments with people that style !== meaningful art, and especially when they'd question why the things I made were sometimes wildly different styles.

AI can generate around a style almost effortlessly and I think it may expose a lot of people who have nothing else to define themselves as An Artist.

A 12% margin is literally the opposite of a coin flip. Unless you have a really bad coin.
You don't seem to understand how these programs actually work in practice (One might even snark and say that you aren't sufficiently qualified.) DEI is measured as a statistical, after-the-fact, population-level macro mandate.

Any particular hiring decision is made on qualifications. It's illegal to not hire someone because their protected characteristics, and if you see someone doing it, you should whistleblow.

It's not illegal to look at your hiring efforts and decide to cast your hiring net in a different demographical area. But at the end of the day, you hire the candidate that meets the bar.

If you can't fill headcount, either your bar is too high, your firm sucks to work for, you aren't paying enough, or you need to work harder on hiring.

I have been involved in a lot of hiring over the years. I've never, ever been pressured, or even implied at that I should base any of my micro decisions (whether in rating or hiring) on someone's protected characteristics. I've likewise never seen them being used as justifications for my peers' decision-making. Oh, and everyone always bitches that hiring is too slow and it's too hard to find people. That's a universal constant, just like the universal constant of 'there's always more work to do than there is time to do it in'.

I have, however seen demographic-level statistics to be used as justification for "Maybe we should have a career booth at a work fair in the University of St. Louis. Does anyone want to go do that?"

Crypto is constantly being seized. And unlike cash, you can't publicly taint every account that interacts with the dirty money.
Various pundits have been really pushing this "People are leaving California in droves!" narrative, desperately hoping that it one day becomes true. They need it to be true in order to repudiate all the various political Californisms that they disagree with. The reality is that California's population declined less than 1% in one year out of the last 125 and stood approximately steady in one year. It increased the remaining 123 years.

It saddens me that taking an ethical stance is now derisively considered "virtue signaling".

I would never work at Meta, not because refusing to do so would make me feel good, but because working there would make me feel like I'm making the world a worse place.
In my limited experience, the summaries often include a lot of false information.

>look at what Zuckerberg has said since the election

Zuckerberg has become such an obsequious "lickspittle" (as Gruber would say), that his words are worse than useless. He has become a Trump mouthpiece, and it's embarrassing. I cannot fathom how discouraging it must be to work at Meta now, knowing that your grovelling bro is putting on such a disgraceful act.

The most incredible example was when him and Rogan were talking about the Hunter laptop thing, trying to frame this against Biden. But it was Trump's administration that said go slow on that (not to mention that as hacked materials every service already barred content like that, and it didn't even need government input). Similarly, most of the laughable dud "Twitter files" happened during the, again, Trump's admin.

There is nothing wrong with government trying to work with big businesses to get messaging right or to go slow on possible if not probable disinformation. But there was literally nothing in any of these cases that crossed a line. Trump getting a bunch of oligarchs to line up and pay into his extortion fund, however, not only crosses the line, it is so cravenly corrupt that at this point the United States is a banana republic. Every other nation needs to start seriously reconsidering ties to US tech as there is absolutely zero safeguards anymore.

Which I think is why all the China fear-mongering about DeepSeek and stuff isn't landing. To most of the world, including half of the US, China is by far the more mature, responsible player on the world stage. The US is some rogue nation where a felon rapist halfwit threatens various nations with military conquest with every passing day. Oh look, some random trade war contrived on made up reasons begins tomorrow: Good luck everybody!
