> the number of people begging on the streets is still rising sharply,

There is a lot of money to be made putting on raggedly clothing and standing on a street corner with a sign. Some of the people doing that really are in a bad place unable to support themselves any other way, but many of them are normal people with normal houses who have decided to make begging their job. (I was going to write full time job, but in a good location they are working part time and pulling in a full time income).

I support someone busking on the street. I'm paying for the entertainment value there, if they provide me a smile or other enjoyment that is worth some money.

For those who are in trouble I donate to local shelters which take care of people who need help and also have people who can determine if help other than shelter is needed. I'm not against someone in need begging on the streets, but if you could support yourself with a "normal job" then you are scamming me by begging. Local shelters are an easy work around for that. While there are also scams in the shelters, they get audited once in a while.
You're 100% right. Both Karen and Luigi come off as so incredibly human, which I suppose should be expected.

Seeing that level of humanity on the side of the killer reframes the situation (in my mind) from Luigi vs UHC to Human vs Inhuman.
How come this is flagged now?
>governments have very much control over it as in banning the use certain software by law and applying it through ISPs and other means.

They ofc can however it would take a new even more tyrannical law that applies to each citizen which would impact all encrption software not just apple. The Cryptowars have also shown that such laws are not only technical unenforcable but also economical disadvantageous.

The way the games play out is so baffling, and the fact that mafia wins so much probably shows that the LLMs in general are pretty poor at reasoning. I'd like to see them sort of cull the poor performers, because looking at the transcripts it's pretty clear that some LLMs are pretty good at being villager and suss out Mafia early but are out voted by the "dumber" llms. Some of them, playing as mafia, don't seem to be able to tell which of their outputs is their own and repeatedly try to vote themselves out -- and they won that game!.

>> Maybe solving for housing first is a way to eliminate some of the suffering in the world.

That's probably true, but the ability to do it strongly depends (I'm thinking US centric here) on keeping the borders closed to illegal immigration. The last thing you want is a flood of people coming for the free/cheap housing. BTW I believe the US currently has a housing shortage, particularly at the lower end of the market.

> He also has a habit of moving the goalposts when manufacturers actually try to do something good, like when he continued to complain about Apple after they introduced their hardware repair program with loaner equipment.

Apple's repair program requires that you do the equivalent of replacing a car's engine when just its spark plugs go bad. He's absolutely right to continue complaining.

What is HN in the world in which we seem to be headed? One of the last places where one can have a relatively sane conversation.

In the world we're headed into, truth is gone. Making an honest judgment based on your best evaluation of the evidence available to you is gone. You will parrot the current insanity that some authoritarian demands, or suffer the consequences. In that world, we really need HN, to keep our sanity, and to avoid the complete destruction of our moral character.

And if you really think that's the world we're headed to, do you think converting HN into all-anti-Trump-all-the-time is really going to be the difference between ending up there and not ending up there?
In Italy there's a fantastic way to allow students to use LLMs to their hearts content, but still discern whether they learned anything at the end of the day: the oral exam. Students one by one wait to be called into a room where the professors can ask them literally anything. Because this is a part of the academic tradition, professors are also very good at administering these exams. They know how to give hints and clues, but also to pounce when they detect BS. I'm not saying it's perfect, but I do think that the outcome is a much better reflection of your grasp on the course material than anything else, besides maybe project-oriented tests.

There's also the added benefit of not having to grade so many exams or papers, and usually all the professors from the department conduct the exams together.
on the other hand, they might produce students that know how to use AI tools, and in the long-term that might be what businesses prefer – employees who know how to use AI, not employees who have memorized facts in school.
Quite sure. SyncThing and mosh are the two most unusual apps that are installed. And I've spent a fair amount of time researching to find out what setting could cause this. The only thing I've found that could supposedly affect the notch is the display resolution, and changing that makes no difference for the notch.

One thing that did occur to me though is that it was a 'refurbished' MacBook. Bought it from Apple, and it looked brand new, but it does seem possible that someone could have done who-knows-what to it before I got it. Or perhaps there is some defect in the display near the top and Apple did this intentionally to conceal it.
> Finland has the highest rates of detention per 100 000 inhabitants, about 214 compared with 93 in the UK and 11 in Italy.

Wow, now that is something I have not heard at all despite how frequently I've heard about the Finland housing first approach to drug addiction/homelessness. Thank you for the reading topic!

EDIT:
Where did you get these numbers and what kind of detention do they refer to? I am not finding this 214/100k number anywhere. The prisoner population in Finland seems to be about 50/100k and the pre-trial detention rate is similar (unlike where I live where pre-trial accounts for 80% of detainees due to slow courts)

EDIT 2: Nevermind, I did find psychiatric holds, which I see to be reported as 150/100k which is certainly much much higher than other countries.
Is Jeff Atwood among the group of people who can speak with insight on how to "bridge our current divisiveness"? The whole reason he's a public figure is from his blog posts that include a bunch of deliberately placed attitude and bombast of the sort that turns a lot of people away but is selected for anyway because it gets just as many (or more) followers, and attention is only additive.

The notion that you must have your phone away and be giving all your attention to a speaker is so antiquated and worthless.

I have issues with auditory processing and attention. If you deliver information to me verbally in a format where I cannot rewind/playback, have no subtitles or text to consume alongside it, and demand my full attention, I will have objectively worse reception of whatever information you're communicating. The way neurotypicals demand adherence to these, to be blunt, ceremonies of conveyance is tiresome and interferes with the goals they espouse of communication.

In fact I would go so far as to say a lot of the time, the goal is not communication at all; it is a demonstration of one's power and authority over others. If your goal is actually communication, text is better in every way. Every reader can read at a speed of their choosing, re-read parts they missed, have a speech-to-text program read it to them if they like, stop in the middle and tend to something time sensitive, what have you. A live speech allows none of this.

So yes, I probably use my phone while you're talking. I probably have my AirPods in too, because the settings where they remove background noise and just give me the person speaking are phenomenally useful. I might even be watching or having my phone transcribe what you're saying, too. And if you're going to try and chastise me for it, fine, that's your prerogative, but then I'm probably starting a job search for a place that will appreciate my skills and not demean me for not being able to perform "good worker vibes" to your arbitrary standards.

I thought the USA had refuted cancel culture, and was broadly against it. If not exactly cancel culture, this seems like a step towards it, and if labor laws were adjusted or diminished, if this blacklist was shared, it would have exactly be cancel culture.
> Boards would (nearly) all quickly agree that the human factor is very important, and regardless of what statistics you might have seen on the decisions made by these AIs in completely fabricated scenarios, or even a few _obviously_ rigged "real-life tests", there's no way these so-called "AIs" could ever really replace a human where it matters (ie, at the senior management level).

Exactly how AI researchers have felt since they AI started doing better than humans in the first tasks. From the ridiculous stat that more chess champions have been disqualified for using AI than we have chess champions. Right now in every chess tournament everyone is "fighting" TWO chess opponents. Their actual opponent ... and an AI chess player (and yes, it's an AI now, IBM and their "not-quite-AI" program is out). If they come even remotely close to beating the AI player, on a move by move basis, they are disqualified and the match is halted.

Humans aren't going to play fair in competing with AIs.
Sorry I did not explain my argument very clearly, please allow me to elaborate...

On Transparency:

When you send an Apple iMessage to a non Apple device it is sent via SMS - this can be seen since the colour of the message text shows as gray (or is that green) and not blue. In many use cases, it is not sensible to check the device type of the recipient. The transition from Internet to SMS is performed transparently in that you are not aware of it until after it has been done. You are not warned or given the option to agree to this drop down. (There may be a mode for this, but I am referring to the general situation for most users).

Bear in mind that as soon as the drop down to SMS occurs, the message content is sent in the clear over a telco network and that national telco's are required to store all message content for law enforcement.

On Disappearance:

A main benefit of having disappearing message in WhatsApp, Signal and so on - which I assume have proper E2EE (?) is that, after a while, there is no record in the cloud that can legitimately be accessed by law enforcement - even if local law requires me to give up my password. This is true for all parties to the chat - although it requires trust that a counter-party is not screen shotting away.

Summary:

So, the main thrust of my argument is that it would be impossible to deliver the main benefit of disappearance in iMessage since it would only be applied to some of the messages depending on the other users device.

Of course, Apple could disable text messaging and they could offer the iMessage app on other devices (or allow compatible 3rd party apps). However, for Apple iMessage is a tool that suppresses the value of SMS and limits the ability of mobile network operators to extract revenue.
I do competitive debate—which is improv essaying. ChatGPT still isn't up to the standard of tournaments because it just dumps a bunch of irrelevant points, when the hardest part of debate is showing the impact of a fact. It fails to grasp the broader context you want to situate your essay in.

In my experience, the vast majority of university students are unable to impact because they've been taught a formulaic five-paragraph essay format based around spamming three facts with very little emphasis on linkage. That's devoid of context as it's easier to grade.

Profs should grade essays based on whether they address the main themes of the author's thesis rather than adherence to form, spelling, and grammar. ChatGPT usage will go down because it's unable to do that.

That's false. Face ID is in fact a complex form of image recognition, so image recognition was definitely possible on older NPUs. OCR is the simplest form of image recognition (OCR was literally the first application of LeCun's CNN), so this was definitely possible as well. "AR" is an extremely vague term. If you refer to Snapchat style video overlays, those have been possible for a long time as well.
Give a read to Marshall Plan [0].

Under this plan, some countries are coerced to abandon building their own advanced goods (like planes), and given promises of supply from the US, fueling the technology gap with some countries in the mid-term.

This plan is what made Europe to be semi-dependent on US for defense and some advanced tech. My country had to re-invent the wheel countless times to close that gap, sometimes getting flak from the US, and even some technologies are outright denied to us to keep us vulnerable in some cases.

This plan is what made US a "soft-empire", though everybody signed into it because they had to. Now, the current US administration wants to discontinue these warranties, and Europe is starting the ReArm program.

Another face of the US (the Greater US) is discussed in this book [1], also worth reading, which is in my reading list.

I have adopted the following explicit policy: I am here to teach you. I am a good teacher, and if you work hard you will learn important material in this course. If I catch you cheating you will be referred to the university for a disciplinary infraction. However my job is not to ensure that you are not cheating. Again, it is my job to teach you. And, likewise, it is your job to learn from me. You (or your parents) are paying good money for you to be here, and it is your responsibility to make good use of that time. It is likely possible to pass this class by simply cheating. However, that is deeply pointless for you. I get paid the same regardless. When you sit down at your first job, staring at a mess of unfamiliar code you have been given, you will either be glad you didn't cheat or regretful that you did. Let's begin.
I’m curious what the is would look like to you, I mean everything in degrees, because one could argue something like billionaires can afford to fly everywhere they want, and taxation for highways is used to provide equality of <transportation> outcome.

So are you arguing taxation is theft and we should abolish the IRS and let private organizations fund through donations fund everything, or are you just on a different area of the continuum than I am.
For the same reason your PC screen likely has more than 480p resolution even though you technically don’t need more than that, why you have stereo instead of mono sound, and more than one CPU core.
> Do you imagine most Americans crossing entire states in their daily commute?

The size of Maryland? Yes, I do. Not likely "most Americans", but a much larger portion than you'd suspect.

My commute was ~30 miles for over a decade, back before I went remote. That was considered "local". From 2016-2017, my commute was ~80 miles.

All of the above are one-way distances, and they're not at all exceptional in the US. Yes, the size of the Netherlands relative to the US is definitely relevant to this discussion.

Wanting to change is a prerequisite for quitting an addictive substance, for sure. But hitting rock bottom is definitely not a prerequisite. For some people, rock bottom might be a bit of a catalyst, triggering them to want to change. But for others, rock bottom can just make things worse and lead to giving up, overdosing, suicide, etc.

Unsurprisingly, addiction is a complex issue where the motivations (to start, and to stop) change from person to person.

That's an assumption, I'm trying to challenge it. Taxes usually take money out of the economy and lead to less activity. Why should a (very high) tax on transportation be different? These are not the sorts of things we can afford to just do without making sure they will work.
> That moment, when you start to understand the power of clear thinking, is crucial. The trouble with generative AI is that it short-circuits that process entirely. One begins to suspect that a great many students wanted this all along: to make it through college unaltered, unscathed. To be precisely the same person at graduation, and after, as they were on the first day they arrived on campus. As if the whole experience had never really happened at all.

If nothing else, LLMs have completely vindicated Bryan Caplan's signaling theory of education. The author of the piece comes across as really quite solipsistic and as somebody who has never attempted to understand the motivations of other people; it comes as a shock to him that they'd seek the path of least resistance.
