There is no political benefit to imposing liability on any online forum operator for content posted by others?

Governments can abuse their power to silence speech it doesn't like. Governments can use agitators to develop pretext for legal action. Governments can make examples out of small-time defendants to send chilling effects. Governments can have prosecutors who may not be evil, but merely overzealous and harmful.

At the end, it is about a default to freedom of speech and content online (short of objectively illegal content) or a default to self-censorship and closing the gates on open forums.

"Details of Framework’s Environmental Ethos and Long Term Mission": https://knowledgebase.frame.work/details-of-framework-s-envi...

> July 7 2022 3:26pm

> Framework’s mission is to fix consumer electronics - and we are doing that by respecting you and the planet. We have put this vision into everything we do by providing you with amazing products that are meant to last as long as possible by letting you upgrade and modify them over that lifetime to support your specific needs.

> Our mission is to reduce the amount of waste that is generated and energy that is expended and reduce our overall consumer electronics footprint, while providing a better product than you can get anywhere else. This includes using post-consumer-recycled aluminum and plastic in our products as well as recycled and recyclable packaging.

> We have just started this journey, and we are continually looking for ways to reduce our footprint and be even healthier for the environment. We’re happy to get ideas and suggestions on how we can do this. The Framework Community is a great place to share this.
Some forum use custom backend, and updating them for an asinine law may not be the maintainer priority.

Having someone dedicated to contact with this authority is also a burden on hobbyist projects.
> Syntax errors coming from your web application mean there is a page somewhere with a bugged feature, or perhaps the whole page is broken. Of course that's worth following up on?

This is a government system, with apps probably built by lowest-bid contractors.

I imagine most of us would be horrified by the volume of everyday failed queries from deployed apps.
disagree - i actually think all the problems the author lays out about Deep Research apply just as well to GPT4o / o3-mini-whatever. These things just are absolutely terrible at precision & recall of information
Haha, I actually know a musician who jokingly included their version of 4'33" on a release that did quite well, and had to pay royalties on it!
No offense but your requirements make very little sense for that use case, unless you really needed PCI-Express.

I’d have bought a Beelink or similar mini PC if I wanted small size and low power along with low price. You lose some modularity compared to ITX boards but I am almost certain you spent more money and deal with more noise and maybe even more power consumption.

For me personally my homelab PC is just an ATX mid tower in the closet because those parts are dirt cheap and you can get lots of performance with essentially infinite modularity.
> "Aha!" I say, "but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence! Therefore you can't say anything at all about whether there's a supermassive superluminal Giant Spaghetti Monster!". That is absolute nonsense.

Note that the comment you are replying to said nor implied anything of the sort.
I feel as though the "sort of" is doing a lot of work there.
Yes, that's how it's described in this talk transcript:

https://asciiwwdc.com/2017/sessions/715

Let’s say for simplification we have three metadata regions that report all the entirety of what the file system might be tracking, things like file names, time stamps, where the blocks actually live on disk, and that we also have two regions labeled file data, and if you recall during the conversion process the goal is to only replace the metadata and not touch the file data.

We want that to stay exactly where it is as if nothing had happened to it.

So the first thing that we’re going to do is identify exactly where the metadata is, and as we’re walking through it we’ll start writing it into the free space of the HFS+ volume.

And what this gives us is crash protection and the ability to recover in the event that conversion doesn’t actually succeed.

Now the metadata is identified.

We’ll then start to write it out to disk, and at this point, if we were doing a dry-run conversion, we’d end here.

If we’re completing the process, we will write the new superblock on top of the old one, and now we have an APFS volume.
In 2006, Symantec ran a programming competition of sorts for University students, where you had to write code for a tiny bot that was trying to collect as many resources as possible from the game map. What made it particularly interesting was that one of the features of the instruction set was a peek/poke operation that would let you modify the memory of other bots, letting you try to break them and take control of them to help your cause.

I think I expressed it clearly. I don't like this legislation. I'm saying that I do understand the underlying tension though, it is real, and hard to legislate, and what can you do. In your first paragraph, you seem to essentially criticize this piece of legislation. I'm not defending it.

I do however reject the notion that it's either absolute freedom of speech or a totalitarian censorship state. Freedom of speech has always had well defined boundaries, well before the Internet - and yes, even in America, just these boundaries are somewhere different to eg. Europe.
Trust isn't really a factor I'm concerned about.

The quality of results is good and I can customise it more than any other search engine to suit my needs.
thanks for your advice ! , "figure out how to make your current environment less broken." I tried this , it didn't worked there's just too much politics to navigate so I just started looking out for a new job.
The parts of GR we trust in order to interpret the data from our instruments is trusted precisely because there is evidence to back up those parts of the theory. We have no idea if that theory holds on the other side of a boundary across which no causation can occur.
Working on a resume editing tool for rapidly applying to a large number of jobs. The basic idea being that resumes should be tailored to the job being applied to. In this tool, you put in your resume, add in other details regarding your background, projects and other things that you might not put in the resume. You do this once.

Now you paste in the job description, we use an llm to generate a new resume grounded in the details you added earlier. You get a pdf that you can submit to the job application.
> which could increase latency for trying to clean the signal

There's none of that here. That's a concept for uncontrolled interfaces. This is a memory interface, where you either have a good signal or a flawed design. Things like ECC do exist, but those are to detect bit corruption in the memory, but a flawless communication between is still required.

Came here to say the same thing, excellent name.

For people who aren't aware, Chicory has long been used (e.g. in Europe during WW2) as a coffee substitute, and Java is another name for coffee, thus Chicory is a substitute for Java.

Edit: I originally thought Chicory was a JVM replacement using WebAssembly (e.g. to run Java applets in modern browsers, using WebAssembly). It appears that it's actually a WebAssembly runtime, to run WebAssembly code on the JVM. So the name is a lot less cool than I thought it was.
Why do you presupose I am a US citizen?
The funny thing is, the number 1 & 2 spam/phishing/malware domains that hit my company's mail server is gmail.com and outlook.com, followed by random .com domains.

My domain block list is approaching 1,000 domains and I don't think I have a single .xyz or .biz in there. There's a few .top. But the overwhelming majority is .com.
There's nothing wrong with trying to discriminate against bots.

If your setup makes you look like a bot, that's YOUR problem. Stop doing things that make you look like a bot.

I get that you want privacy, but so do bots.
Seems like you could asked for a verbally masked description? Like an enigma coda specific to the FOIA.

"Describe to me the columns, in simple non-programmatic english, and what the purpose of the table is for, for each table related to parking tickets"

Essentially a human to schema DSL That is only technically decipherable by the admin of the database. Then you're not having actual code and only the admin could decipher.

But yah, as you said, if the humans don't want to disclose their foibles, how the request is filled is technically meaningless.
> The reason the US is not competitive is exactly because it doesn't spend the money needed for that.

You are making some kind of logical jump here that I can not follow. I just listed basically the absolute best that the US could have ever done-- but even in that absolute dream scenario (tax free income for manufactoring workers? I mean in what world do you see something like that ever actually happening?), the US is still not competitive in a direct comparison, because US workers have just no reason to work manufacturing for 10€/hour (when they make ~30/hour right now).

You can stack all the incentives you want-- the gap in wages/standards is so large that apart from straight up paying the difference (in either tariffs or subsidies, and that is a lot of money), you are not going to make US manufacturing competitive in a head-on comparison.
> Liberal gun laws mean lots of people have them, logically leading to more people being shot.

Explain Czechia and Switzerland, then, please.
On the side, from the title I was picturing actual knitted parachutes, which isn't the first time. At work, we had a student cansat team who did just that. To everyone's surprise, it worked better than regular ones. Here is a video where she explains it.

I remember going on a boat ride to a hotsprings cove on the Pacific side of Vancouver island, and seeing 50+ bald eagles in a small bay flying around a fishing boat. At the time I still thought bald eagles were endangered. They're pretty common in Vancouver, especially near the water, but on occasion I've also seen very large groups flying over land

Nope, but as others have said - you must commit and realize that once you dose you're in for whatever it is. You must assure yourself that this is temporary and will pass. As a matter in fact our lives are much the same, nothing ever lasts forever. Just gotta roll with it.

Anyway, it's not that the brain isn't working properly it's just that the brain is working differently. That's how I see it.
Wow, that's eye-opening. So, just to be clear, you're paying for Claude and OpenAI out of your own pocket, and using the results at your Google job? We live in interesting times, for sure. :)

The reason 3.5 (as the editor) makes more sense to me is the edit format success rate (99.6% vs 3.7's 93.3%).

Flash 2.0 got 100% on the edit format, and it's extremely cheap, so I'm pretty curious how that would score.
Then how come the UK has left the European Union?
This is a common misunderstanding, but a misunderstanding nonetheless. Any country in the EU has full sovereignty and chooses to exercise it by combining forces with other countries in order to strengthen their combined influence in the wider world.
How would you feel about receiving daily credible death threats to you and your family? Should that be tolerated too in the name of the first amendment?

Point is, we must draw the line somewhere. It's never "everything goes". Tolerating intolerance always ends up reducing freedom of expression.

Look at the US, the government is doing everything it can to shove trans people back in the closet, their voices are silenced and government websites are rewritten to remove the T in LGBT. By the very same people who abused "the first amendment" to push their hateful rhetoric further and further until it's become basically fine to do nazi salutes on live TV.

"Free speech absolutism" is a mirage, only useful to hateful people who don't even believe in it.
They ran (at least) two control conditions. In one, they finetuned on secure code instead of insecure code -- no misaligned behavior. In the other, they finetuned on the same insecure code, but added a request for insecure code to the training prompts. Also no misaligned behavior.

So it isn't catastrophic forgetting due to training on 6K examples.
It's not useless, it just makes the tracking data (which it almost always is) easier to implement.

While way too complex to accurately flesh out here, Linux took off mainly because the GNU userland had been in progress for almost a decade before and was ready, while the legal issues and rift on the 386BSD caused it to miss the window of common cdrom drives and the commercial internet.

But yes, I remember being forced to do some silly radio show in ~1997-8 where I was brought in to talk about Linux, as I had saved him a lot of money setting up DNS/Sendmail/Pop on PC's vs the decstations he was using.

Harley Hahn was the other person on the show, and despite Nasa and others using it, he was insistent that it would never replace commercial unix.

As I was maintaining OSF/1, SunOS, Irix, Interactive, SCO, AIX, AT&T, coherent UNIXs at that point, along with systems like MPE/IX, os400, OS/2, NT, Netware etc... day to day; it was quite obvious how much time and money it saved.

IIRC SCO single user desktop license w/networking was ~$800 and you had to pay another $600 more to get the development kit...without updates.

Obviously the huge bump in popularity was when LAMP became popular.
no clear communication on that , but the back to office mail contained usual points like , collaboration is better in person etc etc , and that we're targeting to achieve big things in this AI wave so we all need to work togther and hence back to office lol ://
maybe lol !
Many times the people answering the requests aren't part of the conspiracy to commit random acts of malice. Sometimes they're roped into it under threat of termination.

And often times, the denials eventually lead to significant reorg once judges and Congress can revise laws to fix the ambiguities.
Curiously, what do you feel is wrong about the 12" screen?

Two years ago, I switched from my 15" MacBook Pro to the 12" Framework, never looked back. What am I missing?
The "other guy" is John Ousterhout, author of the Tcl scripting language.

Although I can see why you might consider him more "aggressive", I personally think it matters much more that he was, in general, far more descriptive of his reasoning.

Merely having an opinion is the easy part; being able to clearly articulate the reason(s) why one has a particular opinion is far more important, especially in this kind of conversation, and I in that regard I repeatedly found UB lacking.
I like London and want to visit the city again some day.
Hey, thank you so much for this comment that I'm only discovering now!

First, I'm glad you were amused by my Linkedin trolling! :D

Next, I think we all wish the quality of Google Search were "static" but it is degrading instead.

What you mentioned is probably the reason and this is a quick observation I made at the beginning of this hiking video yesterday:

I think "code is carefully designed AND has a bunch of decent tests" places a codebase ahead of many tbh, even now, regardless of how it's produced

Ask HN: How can I build a full-stack app the "modern" way?
I'm a full-stack developer.

I used to build template-driven websites with Django and Django templates. It was great.

I now build back-end REST APIs using Django and DRF. I also build front-end SPAs using Vue, React, Ember etc. that talk to my Django API. It's good.

I've started building SSR JavaScript apps using the likes of Next.js and Nuxt.js. They also talk to my Django APIs but also have their own edge servers. It's not good.

I've found that these SSR apps introduce an enormous amount of complexity that I haven't been able to fully justify.

I believe that part of this complexity arises from adding your own API to the equation, instead of ditching it and going all in on the "one full-stack codebase".

But how are people creating fully featured apps with this approach? How are you stitching together a database, auth-layer, geo-spatial layer, complex querying, server-side state, session, caching etc. all into an "api/" folder within your app?

I'm not trying to start a flame-war here, I genuinely would like to drink the Kool Aid and try building an app the way "I'm supposed to".
I interpreted the comment as sarcasm.
> ICBMs also render other kinds of bombers obsolete and yet b52 and tu-95 are still around.

This has been proven utterly false since the 1960s, because a) you can't recall an ICBM after firing it, b) you can't retarget an ICBM after firing it, and c) there's no reliable way to tell nuke warheads from conventional ones, meaning every one you launch has to be assumed to have a nuclear payload, with all the world-ending consequences that entails.

The Air Force resurrected this zombie idea (conventional ICBMs) in the 2000s and called it Prompt Global Strike, only to can it for the obvious reasons.

Because Git is distributed, there's no "a branch" foo or whatever; that's a very pointedly centralized-logic, non-DVCS way to treat Git. If Alice has a head named "foo", Bob can fetch Alice as a remote and get a remote-tracking head "alice/foo", which has no bearing on any head named "foo" Bob has; it's just a view of Alice's state.

You can see why you'd want to prune these on fetch, if you want your refs/remotes/alice state to mirror Alice's state; this means removing "alice/foo" if "foo" on Alice is removed. You also might not want to, that's fine. But if you use git fetch as though Git were a DVCS, this is exactly the natural behavior; it's only when you imagine Git is centralized that it starts seeming strange.

So the answer to your final question is "this is not how distributed VCSes work".

(Just don't ask about tags. Ugh, what a nightmare! To be fair, the idea is that you don't go around fetching tags.)
hence the reason why we can't let them water down the definition of open source when applied to AI.

but also you're responsible for the code you commit, no matter if it was generated by a GPU'S grey matter or a human's.

Wow, talk about life goals! Now I'm curious! I'd love to know any specifics that you feel like sharing. As someone in the usual "make shareholders even richer" industry, I can't think of a more noble goal than actually taking the rich down a few rungs.
It's always a possibility that some low level official not in on the scam sees the FOIA request before management tells them not to work on it. The more you ask for, the less filtering there is going to be, simply because of how people work.

If you're running the scam, you don't want to tell low level employees about it, because they have no incentive not to blow the whistle.
I think a more accurate comparison would be burning down a library because you can't afford the manpower to check every single book for arbitrarily defined wrongthink.
Any word on what they spend on / how it is potentially different than everyone else?
Honestly to me these announcements read as an outright abandonment of frameworks supposed mission.

Feels like a stab in the back.
I disagree. If it's minimalistic and focused on your commonalities across projects in a computer, such as VScode stuff which shouldn't be committed to a general repo, I think it's the right and unobtrusive choice.
Questions including are we going to hear about any of the results or are they going to be pretty closed bout the whole thing? I hope we get to see some of the pictures. The next mission looks interesting with magnetic landing legs. I hope to be hearing more about the mission.

I agree that there's no privacy with G.

What have you used instead? Other search engines? LLMs?

Any centralized eco-system with interconnected products/services = privacy invasion by design.
There will always be a way to explain the events that enabled the disruption and that doesn't take away from the achievement.

Put it this way the ISP in my country on the other side of the world has now been disrupted and now Starlink enables farmers in remote deserts can access high speed internet, due to a new Space exploration company subsidizing the cost of satellites based on its technology to hoist satellites into orbit to provide such internet.

It is a culmination of things going right and the right industry movement that creates disruption.
Local LLMs that seek 256Gbit/s memory bandwidth to AMD GPU. Alternatives are much more expensive.

I don't know anything about RAMs or their bus size. Is this something that will be "fixed" in the future, idk, with DDR6? Meaning we can have replacable RAM with such bus.
The web is the only platform where people routinely chide other people for wanting to use their favorite programming languages. For some reason not liking Javascript and wanting to use something else is offensive to a lot of people. In all the other platforms some language may dominate but others are still used and don't cause these reactions.
UK is sensitive about verbal manners, that is 'of utmost importance' (among all the others of course), just to use one of the most popular phrase here. If you suffer some outrageous impact in your life and complain in bad manner you may be punished further some way, socially or even contractually. One example is the TOC of Natwest. They close your account immediately if your conduct is offensive or discriminatory towards the staff. What counts as offensive? That detail is not expanded. Cannot be. It is a bit worrisome for those paying attention being nice to others as well. How to do that exactly? Where is the limit nowadays or in that situation? It is often people get offended nowadays for example by looking at upsetting things, or could feel discriminated. The bbc.co.uk is flowing with articles of people felt very intensive about something unpleasant. Be very careful about your conduct or you bank will kick you out. We are not even talking about hatefulness or radicalization.
Damn!! For the longest time, when asked to leave a number by a voice mail I have used 17. Now while perusing the comments here, I find out it is the most commonly picked number. There goes my perceived sense of originality. Sigh......
At that level its more about persuasion and personality than the ability to do the job. High performing CEOs can persuade employees, customers, government, media, investors, suppliers.

LLMs still cannot persuade anybody right now but maybe soon.
