I answered it wrong too.

I had to read it, and your reaction to the implied obvious reasoning 3 times, to figure out the implied obvious reasoning, and understand your intent was the toddler was standing and the wig was laying in a heap.

I scored 99.9+% on the SAT and LSAT. I think that implies this isn't some reasoning deficit, lack of familiarity with logical reasoning on my end, or lack of rigor in reasoning.

I have no particular interest in this argument. I think that implies that I'm not deploying motivated reasoning, i.e. it discounts the possibility that I may have experienced it as confusion that required re-reading the entire comment 3 times, but perhaps I had subconcious priors.

Would a toddler even understand the question? (serious question, I'm not familiar with 3 year olds)

Does this shed any light on how we'd work an argument along the lines of our deaf and mute friend typing?

Edit: you edited in some more examples, I found it's aubergine answers quite clever! (Ex. notching). I can't parse out a convincing argument this is somehow less knowledge than a 3 year old -- it's giving better answers than me that are physical! I thought youd be sharing it asserting obviously nonphysical answers
When I was there in the late 80s as a teen we camped, but the campground was really just a big open flat area with no trees.

I recall doing the long walk into town and dumping quarters in the Bubble Bobble machine they had in the arcade there.

Met a cute girl there.
I'm really not sure how to take the comment on the CEO's salary. Some days on HN, 400k is called one good software engineer's salary. Other day's its alluded to as being to as being an overpaid CEO. And then other days people try to justify CEOs making 100M a year.
Oh just beautiful. Ruby is so expressive and concise.

If you see the typescript options it's like giving yourself a water boarding session through your own volition.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing your story and the photos.

I'm the old days we had mechanical write protect. I find it hard taking modern security seriously.

It should be pretty simple to [say] make a hardware solution to allow only writing out new files.

I also find it comical that my production database has instructions to conveniently delete or modify all rows in my table. That would be at the top of the list of features I don't want.

I have backups of course, backups on writable usb drives.

Like, when I lose everything it is really nice to be able to delete files from my backup drive. This is such a great idea.

Excuse my ignorance but is one really updating hundreds of files the day round? On some factory machines that do dangerous things you have to hold down two buttons.
Regulation doesn't mean "heavily discourage".

Keeping the Moon, or Mars, or Venus as pristine as possible is the only way we can study those environments as they exist in their natural condition. Not to mention that we can't detect the presence of life on those worlds if we've contaminated them with life from our own.

This is hilarious, the maven-lockfile project "Lockfiles for Maven. Pin your dependencies. Build with integrity" appears to have auto-merged a PR for the compromised action commit. So the real renovate bot immediately took the exfiltration commit from the fake renovate bot and started auto-merging it into other projects:

Not my problem as a buyer. Build the infrastructure to make certificates and everything else work for a reasonably long time. Service is part of the contract.
Yes, it is fascinating that humans can have such seemingly fundamental differences in how they function 'under the hood.' I also have a friend who is highly intelligent—they earned a STEM PhD from one of the best universities in the world—yet they struggle to follow complex movie plots, despite having a photographic memory. It would be interesting to develop mirror LLMs (or Large Anything Models) for all these different types of brains so we can study how exactly these traits manifest and interact.
Only negative border patrol experience I’ve ever had was crossing the Canadian border.
Putting hopes in someone else making an entirely new standards and protocols based hypermedia sounds outlandish. Whose going to go on a decade long quest to build something amazing to give away, again?

I for one really tire of this spiritual vandalism masquerading as a hopeful pineing ask for a new beginning. The web rocks, is amazing. Sure there's some incidental complexity that's accrued, but the versatility & wide capability from a simple core are a glorious & powerful thing that I think only a fool wouldn't celebrate.

Will for a while now market here has been firmly going in one direction and it's that of increasing Chrome dominance. I absolutely loved the old opera team, and I loved them reconstituting themselves under Vivaldi, but I don't love that they now both depend on Chromium.

I do think the dynamics of browser market share it had in a previous time been subject to exactly the waves and frictions you mentioned, but it's too high stakes now. There's too much serious investment necessary, and so it's going to be responding to some business and economic dynamics Which will be different than the waves and frictions of yesteryear.
Any people in particular you listen to? There is so much noise and everyone has a 'prediction'. Post election both sides have gotten really good at using sophisticated talking to sound like they know what they are talking about(Especially the right). I go on Reddit(main subs) its one universe, go to small less known subs, its a second universe and then Twitter is a third universe, all three are different alternative realities.
If nobody wants Chrome, and it's only profitable use is a social negative, let it die?

A billion or two dollars would fund development indefinitely. Don't sell it to anybody, make it a nonprofit with a fat trust. I'll say the same thing about Firefox: they got plenty of money from Google. They should have been able to save enough in ten or how ever many years to fund development for all eternity. Instead they paid it to themselves.
If you think that's crazy, you should read what's in the Bible. For example, the origin of Abrahamic religions is a guy who was willing to sacrifice his own child.

Kind of, it depends. In my experience so far, Reddit blocks Tor nodes about 20% of the times or so. More specifically, it seems to return a 429, probably because someone tried to abuse Reddit from the same node and Reddit banned the IP. In my experience, this is just as likely to happen with the onion site or the www address.

That being said, I only lurk so I don't know if there are any additional restrictions when trying to log in.

Is that the same issue you have or is it something else?
Most of the hackers got rich, and also a bunch of people who aren’t hackers/nerds/curious people jumped on the tech bandwagon for money, and have done well enough to view themselves as equals to the politicians and bigwigs. It has really changed the dynamic here and elsewhere, as you note
There's a large split here between the US (where people largely use SMS and now RCS) and the rest of the world, which largely uses WhatsApp, WeChat, or very few others.

I'm of course also just as critical of having Meta run the world's communication industry instead of Google, but that's the duopoly (or rather two monopolies split geographically) we're headed towards. Cheering on RCS as a way out of it, instead of directly towards it, is deeply misguided.

That said, at least WhatsApp provides some basic features that XMPP has supported more than 20 years ago (multiple devices being logged in simultaneously, synced message archives etc.) – I'm not holding my breath ever seeing these on RCS. As a pseudo-federated standard, protocol and client development will always be much more complex, and looking at the baseline complexity of the RCS specification powering the few existing features, I'm just not seeing it happen.

Needing my phone to be powered up and connected to the Internet to message people from my computer in 2025 is absurd.
What false pretense? They dictate two different ways of sending messages with different capabilities.
I thought Android released an update last year to automatically interpret those as display them as reactions.
"The restaurants’ productivity growth rates are strongly correlated, however, with reductions in the amount of time their customers spend in the establishments, particularly with a rising share of customers spending 10 minutes or less. The frequency of such ‘take-out’ customers rose considerably during COVID, even at fast food restaurants, and never went back down."

Well, duh.

I feel I'm in the way eating in a restaurant when 90% of their business is filling DoorDash/Uber orders.

Restaurants are closing earlier. 8 PM closing isn't unusual now. By then, the delivery business has dried up, and they want the onsite customers to clear out.

I previously mentioned a place in Silicon Valley near Apple HQ where not only did they want onsite customers to order via a QR-code menu, they tried to get customers to go through onboarding and set up an account. Eating onsite was simply a delivery with a very short distance, bag and all.

Of course "productivity" is up.
Developing a browser is fantastically difficult and expensive. How much of that is because of Google using Chrome's dominance to dictate web standards?

If instead web standards moved at a pace set by a standards body not incentivised to spy on users, how much more competition could exist in the browser space?
Em. Deportations increased substantially under Biden.

That said, laws generally permit some leeway to the executive to set spending priorities/focus. It can be pretty limited since Congress tends to specify what department and sometimes program money must be spent on, but it still it allows for things like deciding you're going to prosecute more drug dealers even though they're long shot cases rather than easier to win fraud causes. This is done at all levels of government.

Shifting spending priorities as the law allows, though, is rather different from actively breaking the law.

What do you think of a worldwide collapse?

The lazy argument is that China will take over everything, that they think in 100 year increments. However they have terrible demographics, have serious risks like food security, and have mucked up their economy through their real estate collapse.

We all know of the US's issues and there is no other country that is really challenging these two....so how about everyone fails and we are all poor and destitute together?
Besides all the good points in that thread about why Google should definitely be forced to sell Chrome lets ad another one: The Google Discover Feed in Google Chrome (and Android and Google App) is by now up to 80% of the Traffic News-Sites get. Basically it is Instagram for News and massively used. So Google now controls how Users consume the News. (Also you still need AMP to perform there...)
Would that be a better world than we have now, though, if Chrome was nominally separate from Google but still only exists because Google pays for it? It seems like the same thing with extra steps.

I will acknowledge this, thought its not exactly what I had in mind.

If Cybertruck marketing claims it to be a truck - I’d like to see it perform in said capacity like a truck would. My F250 tows 8,000 lbs travel trailer as an example. I am yet to see one towed by Cybertruck.
That is the question I ask myself every time this comes up, and the only answer I've been able to come up with is "because Google pays them not to".

I don’t think this is unique to Christianity. A similar key concept in Hinduism is “karma”.

How so? Obviously this is ineffective at the package level but if the thing spawning these processes, like the GitHub runners or Node itself added support to enter a "restricted" mode and pledged then that would help, no?
I have never seen a reaction that helped. "OK" is short, it's in plain text, and it works easily. I don't need your thumbs up. Or your like. You want to emoji, go ahead, but I'm getting older and I can't zoom in on them without blowing up general text to the same size. With more complex emoji I have to screenshot the text and then pull up the image to zoom on it to even tell what it is.

I'd silence the conversation, except that iMessage won't let you have two identical groups with exactly the same members. So both humorous and serious stuff goes into the same group chat, and it's often very time-sensitive if serious. Then three or four people start joking around, reacting to each other, and suddenly while I'm at dinner (or, my favorite, one hour into a three-hour drive) my phone or watch is going off every twenty seconds for five minutes. I can't ignore them, because one of those dings might be from someone else about something that needs an answer right now. I can't risk forgetting to turn notifications back on.

When I still used an Android phone, the max-ten-people SMS rule meant that I was missing important business information - like, for example, I found out that our secretary had cancer when she asked me for restaurant recommendations near MD Anderson Cancer Clinic in Houston. Never occurred to anyone else that I had gotten none of that.
My phone and TV already use anything I see and listen to everything I say. Echo doesn't seem to be doing anything different.
I find amazing that, in today's web, the inaner a point is, the firmer is its proponent's conviction. Today's Google is the opposite of what is good for the web; it's a business led by a McKinsey bean counter and his henchmen, people who destroyed one of the most innovative companies the world has ever known and turned into a cancer who will only stop taking a cut of everything we do when it kills its host, the Internet.
Extra context I forgot to provide:

> RCS may require access to certain SIM card information, which only pre-installed apps can do

> because they don't want to implement RCS themselves.

Sounds like they can't implement RCS themselves even if they wanted to, not simply that Google doesn't provide an open source implementation? (Referring to app developers here, not custom ROM devs.)
> The claims are poorly substantiated, it’s not enough to make assumptions about something and read about it.

Can you provide a concrete example from the paper?
Pre COVID, takeout meant not tipping at all. We should probably shift back towards that world.
The LLM embeddings for a token cover much more than semantics. There is a reason a single token embedding dimension is so large.

You are conflating the embedding layer in an LLM and an embedding model for semantic search.
Yes, this...

I hope the irony is not completely lost on the fine folks at semgrep that the admittedly "overkill" suggested semgrep solution is exactly the type of pattern that leads to this sort of vulnerability: that of executing arbitrary code that is modifiable completely outside of one's own control.

I take your point, but it is worth noting that gifts, services, and goods are often exchanged for money and termed "donations" when the dollar amount greatly exceeds what one would normally pay, with the understanding that the proceeds go to a certain cause/group/organization.
Sorry but this is a ridiculously naive take.
I don't understand this argument. Every negotiation between countries should end in "do what I want or I'll kill you". Yes, executing those threats is only possible if the country threatening destroys itself in the process, but countries certainly can destroy almost anyone they're negotiating with if they disregard the cost to their own citizens.

Now what has kept Europe stable was the US having a bigger economy, good intentions (as in the intention was to increase ALL trade, not just US' immediate advantage), an unbeatable army and a nuclear armed threat to fight. Perhaps ironically, this approach made the US the most powerful country in the world, when countries that directly pursued their own interests faded, or outright failed (most famously USSR).

This appears to be ending. And every country has politicians just salivating to do what Trump is (or appears to be) doing: getting themselves what they want at any cost to their own country's citizens. Sooner or later they'll come to power and ...

So how do you negotiate as a country, really? If the country you're negotiating isn't a psychotic aggressor at the moment ... the time will come when they are. Doesn't this make war the inevitable outcome?

I could have sworn that I've seen other GitHub Actions vulnerabilities that worked the same way, too. And/or HN submissions talking about this specific kind of vulnerability, the standard mitigation strategies, etc.

Feels like the same kind of problem as SQL injection, where everybody kinda knows about it and some people are actively aware and there are standard ways to avoid it but it still happens all the time anyway.

Might also be a good time to mention I'm really not a fan of YAML.
While acknowledging that you might not have any agency about this in your specific situation, this sounds more like a social/boundaries problem than a technical one.

If I were in a group chat with people both joking around and sending messages requiring urgent responses, I'd let them know to either cut the banter and keep the channel clear, or contact me otherwise if they need my urgent reaction. Letting people hold my attention hostage like that would drive me crazy.
I bet it's the same reason people still work for any controversial companies like cigarettes, oil, etc.

Money, relationships inside the company, career path, doesn't feel like working in the company means they share the same views as Elon, agrees with Elon, us vs the world mentality, hard to find equivalent job, etc.

That's because, based on the training data, the most likely response to asking for directions is to clarify exactly where you are and what you see.

But if you ask it in terms of a knowledge test ("I'm at the corner of 1st and 2nd, what public park am I standing next to?") a model lacking web search capabilities will confidently hallucinate (unless it's a well-known park).

In fact, my person opinion is that, therein lies the most realistic way to reduce hallucination rates: rather than trying to train models to say "I don't know" (which is not really a trainable thing - models are fundamentally unaware of the limits of their own training data), instead just train them on which kinds of questions warrant a web search and which ones should be answered creatively.
I think he's confused. Google has to sell Chrome for reasons unrelated to whether Google was paying to be the default on their competitors products.

Google has to sell Chrome for reasons that don't even imply fault or wrongdoing. It lowers the level of competition to an unacceptable level for Google to own Chrome; and when Google owns Chrome, the temptation to do things like pay to be the default search engine in your competitors products in order to manipulate their behavior is too high.

The fact that they were actually doing something like that is a separate problem. And it will not be fixed by punishing them, it will be fixed by telling them to stop doing it. This is a long overdue intervention, not a criminal trial.
Over the last few years I’ve become exceedingly aware at how insufficient language really is. It feels like a 2D plane and no matter how many projections you attempt to create from it, they are ultimately limited in the fidelity of the information transfer.

Just a lay opinion here but to me each mode of input creates a new, largely orthogonal dimension for the network to grow into. The experience of your heel slipping on a cold sidewalk can be explained in a clinical fashion, but an android’s association of that to the powerful dynamic response required to even attempt to recover will give a newfound association and power to the word ‘slip’.
What worries me is what's going to happen to Mozilla without those payments.
