Oh, so Elon got told by Delaware that his salary was fiscally irresponsible and so he took his ball and went home. And now Zuckerberg wants to do the same.
We're getting accustomed to saying "this is wild" but, still, this is pretty wild. It's all speculative what's going on with the data while the staff is locked out, but few directions are really implausible. If access control and activity logging can get turned off, wouldn't all records be subject to updating or deleting? Or data sets simply copied off for later analysis as an enemies list?

I'd expect the civil service to be completely tainted following this admin. Any change of party will require the incoming admin to have a massive onboarding process to undo this one.

A random idea - train one of those models on you, keep it aside, let it somehow work out your intricacies, moods, details, childhood memories, personality, flaws, strengths. Methods can be various - initial dump of social networks, personal photos and videos, maybe some intense conversation to grok rough you, then polish over time.

A first step to digital immortality, could be a nice startup of some personalized product for rich, and then even regular folks. Immortality not in ourselves as meat bags of course, we die regardless, but digital copy and memento that our children can use if feeling lonely and can carry with themselves anywhere, or later descendants out of curiosity to hold massive events like weddings. One could 'invite' long lost ancestors. Maybe your grand-grand father would be a cool guy you could easily click with these days via verbal input. Heck even 3D detailed model.

An additional service, 'perpetually' paid - keeping your data model safe, taking care of it, backups, heck even maybe give it a bit of computing power to to receive current news in some light fashion and evolve, could be extras. Different tiers for different level of services and care.

Or am I decade or two ahead? I can see this as universally interesting across many if not all cultures.

Privleap – Limited privilege escalation framework
Actually, I will add something to that.

In Chicago there are two means of holding individuals accountable to this sort of thing. The first is the local records act, which carries a misdemeanor for intentionally violating the act (ie, destroying documents). The other is the city's ethics policy which includes something similar to what you've said -- in that there's a legal obligation to report any observed illegal/fraudulent activity.

From conversations I've had, neither have been used for the sort of corruption you're referring to. Partially because the definitions in these things are intentionally vague. Another part because the local records act misdemeanor I mentioned would have to go through criminal court rather than civil court.
Under what law?

They've every legal right to do this.

We’re talking about posts promoting prescription medications. There were always strict rules about this on Facebook (banned by default) and the fact that most of these posts ever stayed up was more likely a result of oversight and possibly politics in the first place.

> you have to wrap the whole sandwich in a transaction

True, SPARQL does not allow "opening" transactions such that you can run one query, do some logic, and run another query while doing commit. Which was a pain for me. RDF4J has a non-standard API to do that, I think they are trying to upstream it to SPARQL 1.2.

> There's also the fact that a lot of triple stores are seriously half baked research-quality code if that.

Also true. Although excellent researchers who wrote one of the best reasoners (Pellet) decided to leave academia and make a production grade system. They succeeded with Stardog but you don't want to know how much a license costs.

I really enjoy this talk from one of the creators of OWL [1]. There, he makes a point that OWL is unpopular not because it's too complex but because it's not advanced enough to solve real problems people care about (read: ready to pay money for). I think the case you described involves VCs having clarity on how to make money off one thing but not the other. I do think that the Semantic Web 3.0 (if we count Linked Data as a Semantic Web 2.0 aka Semantic Web Lite attempt) will need a better (appealing to business) case than the one presented in the 2001 SciAm paper.

That’s probably the problem for any HN-for-X because a talking at/with/to beginners and hobbyists is not a rare internet opportunity for experts.

I think one of the things that makes HN HN is that experts can choose to have only incidental open internet engagement with their areas of expertise. Most or all of their time on HN can be engaging with other topics that they are less familiar with.

The attractions of an HN-for-X include engaging with an unfamiliar-X that experts are already familiar with.
Soft propaganda that throws away the standard rational basis for the pipe dream of a utopia (dystopia).

There is no real point in reading, it assumes a forgone conclusion jumping into details that will never come to pass, while also following the standard totalitarian approach of boring you with the details that are unimportant and irrelevant (to confuse and distract).

The only way the beneficial things mentioned will come to pass is if the vast majority of humanity dies, leaving only a privileged class and their slaves.

Its far more likely that upon causing widespread destruction, and loss of life, the world rallies against them just as it did against the Nazi's, and following their defeat during the Nazi hunts.

I think this highly depends on what you classify as change. I trained in policy science at one point and the MOVE incident was a huge case study we discussed to try and figure out at the bureaucrat level of city management how that situation came to be and how we could avoid it.

But the number one thing you learn from this kind of exercise is "political feasability" outweights all other pros and cons of a policy proposal you write up. We know how to prevent this kind of thing but we don't know how to sell it to voters. You see it right here on Hacker News. If it means you'll ever have to see a homeless person shit in public, everyone is immediately up in arms singing in unison "no please, give us stronger, better-armed police." If the Tiananmen Square protesters were blocking a popular commute route, half of America would be in favor of running them over themselves. No military intervention necessary.

I wonder how expensive it would be to train a model to parse through all the training data and remove anything you didn't want then re-train the model. I almost hope that doesn't work or results in a model that is nowhere near as good as a model trained on the full data set.

Just a quick view after playing for an hour.
Sure, but I wouldn’t expect deepseek to either. And if any model did, I’d damn sure not bet my life on it not hallucinating. Either way, that’s not heresy.
Seymour Hersh informed in 2020 that CIA had an asset in Wuhan laboratory
Veteran investigative reporter Sy Hersh (My Lai massacre, Abu Ghraib), leveraging his long-cultivated intel sources made some explosive claims yesterday. But his more recent reports of the past decade or so have remained more controversial. So much so that I am linking cogent analysis of his substack piece (by Jamie Metzl) rather than the piece itself (which is anyway paywalled).

Metzl's bulletized summary:

1. the CIA had placed a Chinese national asset in the Wuhan Institute of Virology because China was doing both offensive and defensive, overt and covert, work, including with SARS coronaviruses, at that facility;

2. this CIA plant inside the WIV reported that a lab accident had occurred in 2019;

3. the CIA reported this to President Trump in late 2019;

4. Trump “went ballistic” and suppressed the story to protect his trade deal with China;

5. the CIA worked to keep the story under wraps to protect its Chinese national at the WIV; and

6. that person is now out of China.

To which I add these bullets:

7. Chinese health officials were *sharing* with US intel in *late 2019* that there was a pandemic in the offing

8. Classification proscribed US intel from sharing advance pandemic analysis with uncleared US health agency officials

9. US health agency officials were therefore disempowered from initiating advance public health bulwarking facing nursing homes which the Chinese had already reported were pandemic response soft-spots.

My epistemic status: Cautious skepticism, on-lookout for independent followup reporting.

The American propaganda system is more subtle but very very powerful. Watch this lecture on "Inventing Reality": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g3kRHo_vpQ

Though over the last year, I admit is has lost some of its subtlety. It was just watching administration officials declare black was white and up was down while real news leaked over social media. The past few years, especially since 2016, have seen a lot of that.

Good point. Agree that DE C corp has been the norm and expectation since forever. Doesn't look like CA is a mentioned contender, and my guess is that it is very much not in consideration, for all the above reasons.

In "TX and other states" I read "TX and other states that will lean towards relative deregulation in coming years". It's less about sticking it to DE, more about bribing TX or whoever into even more favorable terms than you're getting in DE, in a way that wins some 10+ year metagame.

Why shouldn't it be as easy to write system administration programs in Go as it is in a typical shell?

1. Shell scripting offers infinite functionality. You can shell script with any program in any language. All it needs to do is take input and produce output. And if the functionality doesn't exist, you can create it on the fly, without having to follow any of the traditional rules of programming.

2. Shell scripting is a combination of a grammar, operators, a few simple functions, and an extremely loose coupling with generic i/o and logic. I don't know Go well, but it probably doesn't support a similar flexibility. (most languages are very proscriptive about how you can use the language, so you usually can't make things as easy as they are in a different, more tailored language/interface/paradigm. this is why we have DSLs)

3. Programmers don't really understand the concept of productivity [outside of programming itself]. A programmer would solve a problem by taking 6 weeks to design a perfect program to do the thing. A Sysadmin would take 5 minutes with a shitty language and a shitty tool and get way more done in less time. And re-writing everything into a Go library would always be slower than shell scripting, because it requires re-implementing what a shell script would just use as-is.

Scripting is duct-taping the wheel rather than reinventing it. If you want to save yourself a whole lot of time and trouble, just use the duct tape.

(also: don't go templates exist? why isn't that used for scripting)
