You call `navigator.usb.requestDevice({filters})`. It returns a promise and browser displays a window with device list according to the given filter. User chooses device or presses "cancel". The promise resolves with single device or rejects with error. You can't fingerprint anything without user interaction. Also there's block list which does not allow to connect to keyboard, mouse, so typical user does not even have any USB devices to choose from.
Will they be sending all customers "Audio recording in progress" signs to post at the entrance of their homes? Or will the Alexa now say "By continuing to talk to this device you consent to audio recordings" every time the wake-word is detected?

Otherwise I can't see how this isn't blatantly violating 2-party consent laws in every state that has them, as Amazon can't reasonably claim they've received affirmative consent from every guest in their customers' homes...

No, I'm making the argument that anyone who invests the time and money into landing on the moon isn't doing it for giggles and the joy of littering.

And let's be real, if we found "space junk" on the moon of an alien planet, we'd be thrilled as heck, so perhaps we're just seeding the moon with artifacts for alien races.

I love when I last called my cell phone carrier and they asked me to try putting my phone in airplane mode. I said "wouldn't that disconnect the call?", they went "no it will not", and guess what happened when I turned on airplane mode.

No. The case for inflated assets was a civil lawsuit, not a criminal one.

Business records were filed falsely in the hush money scandal. That resulted in a criminal conviction. 34 counts total, because it was done over eleven transactions, and three filings made for each transaction. It was supposed to be noted and declared as hush money, but because it was labeled legal money, this was a lie.

If you want to argue that it is unfair , I am with you, but the bigger person you are and the bigger your pursuit the bigger your enemy and the more squeaky clean your record has to be. That’s the price of fame and fortune with envy.

I don't think "about ten CIA employees were provided Times cover" was a way to funnel CIA info into the NYT - which, as you say, wouldn't need direct employment.

It sounds more like CIA spies wanted to go poking around in foreign countries, interviewing people and photographing things, which being an NYT reporter allowed them to do.

I guess I should have been clear that when I said stupid arguments, I meant breaking the rules, not necessarily arguing from a position of weakness.

I’m not asking why there are people representing shaky cases. Even bad people are entitled to a competent defense.

I’m talking about why judges allow lawyers to get away with breaking courtroom procedure and rules.

I don’t think there is as much class solidarity among lawyers. Most lawyers I know are happy to shit talk other lawyers, hell, many of them would jump at the chance to find an idiot in contempt.

After a few decades of dealing with clowns and reaching a federal judgeship, you’d think they would take the opportunity to knock some heads.
Obama famously looked the other way when asked whether the war crimes of the Bush administration were going to be investigated. Trump was impeached for looking in to Biden's Ukraine links and it turned out that the Biden family needed multiple pardons for it although they were very generally worded so they didn't ever admit what exactly they were up to.

All these politicians are committing things that are crimes. Raiding your opponents house because you think they're improperly storing documents is blatant intimidation and harassment and the follow up was absolutely criminal prosecutions of political opponents without justification. The only silver lining is the US public had the rational response and supported Trump against the bullying.

E2e is a pretty big technical hurdle.

It sometimes necessitates losing messages (especially when one or other endpoint of a conversation gets lost/reset). You're gonna have to have all other components of the app ready to deal with lost/undecryptable messages.

It makes a bunch of future features harder to implement (group chats, web UI for viewing messages).

It makes anti-spam harder, since you can no longer just have a server side detector for messages containing 'b1tc0in'.

It makes it much easier for an attacker to use your infrastructure for botnet command and control or distributing child porn, and there is no way for you to detect or block it, despite laws requiring you to do so.

That article makes awful conclusions.

Biden’s age was a bigger factor because it was absolutely clear he was in rapid cognitive decline. No doubt it’s also happened to Trump at his age (as it does to everyone), but Biden essentially hid from any unscripted press the entirety of his Presidency.

Trump does the opposite. We can all judge his actual cognitive faculties because he’s constantly tweeting or in front of cameras. It’s pretty clear to anyone with a brain that most of the things the Biden administration did, Biden himself had very little to do with. Trump, again, is the opposite.

The NYT honestly should have been covering Biden’s decline more. It bordered on a coverup. The fact that people were surprised at his debate performance points to that.

People are way off in their estimates of all sorts of things. I think many use "20-30%" as a generic "kind of small amount".

See this graphic that made the rounds recently (e.g. 1% are transgender, people thought 21%. 6% are military veterans, people thought 40%, etc).

https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/tky94p/ame...
Americans also estimate that 30% of the population lives in New York City (https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/41556-americans-m...). I think most people just don't have a numerical intuition for percentages, and don't necessarily intend for a guess of 31% to mean "I think the foreign aid budget is equal to the federal budget times 0.31."
Not precisely: Trump fired so many people that the IRS can't check whether the rich are submitting fake paperwork to cheat on their taxes.

I've really been trying to get Signal to get some decentralization[0] but unfortunately I pissed off some mods. I do understand their reasoning for staying away from full decentralization, both Moxie and Meredith have made good arguments. But I think this is something where there's a really good middle ground. Where both parties highly benefit.

Users get a lot of added utility, "fun", and not to mention a huge upgrade in privacy and security (under local settings), while Signal gets to reduce a lot of data transfer over the network. There's a lot of use cases for local message and file sharing (see thread) and if the goal is to capture as little data as possible about the users, well let's not capture any network traffic when users are in close proximity, right? It's got to be a lot harder to pick up signals that only are available within a local proximity than signals traveling across the internet. The option of expanding to a mesh network can be implemented later[1] but I don't understand how an idea like this doesn't further the stated goals.

The big problem with things like Briar is that you can't install it after the internet has been turned off AND it is already unpopular. But if an existing app with an existing userbase implements even some meshing then this benefits all those users when an event like that happens. Not to mention there's clear utility in day-to-day life.

[0] https://community.signalusers.org/t/signal-airdrop/37402

[1] I think a mesh network maintains the constraints both Moxie and Meredith have discussed, concerns about ensuring servers are up to data. But then again I'm not sure why that can't be resolved in the same way it is already done where if you let Signal fall too far behind in updates then it will no longer communicate with the servers.
Curious. At that scale and transaction rate, are you deleting / offloading rows to another storage solution after some amount of time? I’m assuming you’re not just letting 150,000 rows a second accumulate indefinitely.

That's what makes what they're doing kind of insidious. They're not making things up - Biden is indeed old. It's how they weight things and how much they push them.

I'm not sure I buy that, I didnt find the counter argument persuasive, but this comment basically took you from thoughtful to smug — unfairly so, ironically, because I've been so bored by not understanding Yann's "average housecat is smarter than an LLM"

Speaking of which...I'm glad you're here ,because I have an interlocutor I can be honest with while getting at the root question of the Ask HN.

What in the world does it mean that a 3 year old is smarter than an LLM?

I don't understand the thing about sounds vs. binary either. Like, both go completely over my head.

The only thing I can think of it's some implied intelligence scoring index where "writing a resume" and "writing creative fiction" and "writing code" are in the same bucket thats limited to 10 points. Then there's anther 10 point bucket for "can vocalize", that an LLM is going to get 0 on.*

If that's the case, it comes across as intentionally obtuse, in that there's an implied prior about how intelligence is scored and it's a somewhat unique interpretation that seems more motivated by the question than reflective of reality — i.e. assume a blind mute human who types out answers out that match our LLMs. Would we say that person is not as intelligent as a 3 year old?

* well, it shouldn't, but for now let's bypass that quagmire

> Where on earth would I even have to go to find a place without there being any 2.4Ghz signal interference?

Unironic answer: most airports. Even small ones will have avionics shops, those avionics shops will have to test Emergency Locator Beacons, and those beacon signals are not meant to escape to the outside world during testing.

Thus, most have Faraday rooms, cages, or just small (2-3 cubic feet) boxes to block signals. I used to work for one of those teeny-tiny companies. Would not recommend working in aviation. That said, knocking on the door and offering to come back with doughnuts if they can help you out when it's not crazy busy, feels like less an insane idea than I'd have expected previously.

Brushing over teco feels a bit .. odd given its role in Emacs but this is the vim family story.

Dec 10 had SOS which was an ed-like line editor. And a port of qed IIRC. It had a concept of a viewport into a file with lines longer than 80 chars, other editors did folding but this one did scrolling in ascii. Emacs now does similar. Gosling Emacs was nice before gnu. Very simple cross file macro "do this sequence of commands" mode. Vi/ex used buffers and @execute to write programs the gosling Emacs was more "do it once then ask the editor to redo it again and again"
