“The Agency’s relationship with the Times was by far its most valuable among newspapers, according to CIA officials. From 1950 to 1966, about ten CIA employees were provided Times cover under arrangements approved by the newspaper’s late publisher, Arthur Hays Sulzberger. The cover arrangements were part of a general Times policy—set by Sulzberger—to provide assistance to the CIA whenever possible.”
> who they'd happily supply with details to get rid of the green bubble problem

I would be surprised if this eliminates green bubbles. iMessage supports many features unavailable over RCS on Android devices. These would still be disabled and Apple needs a way to indicate a degraded feature set to iMessage users.
LOL, how the hell are these accounts "far right"? And how do the accounts invalidate the video evidence and screenshots published on the posts?

So, were are the arrests for all the "fraud"? Congress spent the money, it's not for Trump to steal.
I’ve seen privately identifiable information (PII) along with patient records sent over to 3rd party agencies.
To a native with no other access to unequal markets, there's no reason not to spend. Their Big Mac per hour ratio is only getting worse and saving won't change that.

Give those people the same relative windfall sums and some will accelerate spending, others will invest.

Very cool! I've often wondered whether one could procedurally generate sounds of objects interacting in a physics engine? This approach seems like a good place to start.
When we start talking about 24% of the GDP we gotta go more specific into what industries depend on to understand the impact. Agricultural industry as a whole (imports, local production, etc.) represents much less than 24% of USA's GDP but if it disappeared it would be cataclysmic for the nation.

And 24% of GDP is a whole fucking quarter of the whole economic production of the largest economy in the world, it's not a "mild recession"...
> The Floorp project is a much newer entrant.... According to its donations page, donors who contribute at the $100 level may submit ads to feature in the new tab page

So if I get it right, people can 'donate' money to floorp project in exchange for service (advertisement).

Like when I go to the grocery shop and I make a donation, in exchange I get back home with a pack of beer.

I didn't know I was donating so much, my dumb ass thought I was just buying stuff. Got to put that on my Tax sheet.
The fact that reading the NYT requires a paid subscription takes away a lot of the value of a Tor service. (Can you even buy a subscription over Tor? I doubt it; it'd be a fraud risk.)
I think 5 in 100 is totally reasonable to wave off.

I’m not giving it a second thought personally.

If it happens it will be so bad that I’ll almost certainly die as a result (due to chronic illness) so I should just keep on living as-is and not worry about it.

Work, even at 40 hours per week, can over time be so detrimental to health, that 20 hours per week ought to be the sane default. It would allow enough time for a healthy lifestyle with a proper diet and plenty of exercise. If everyone did it, I would be okay with the corresponding 50% reduction in pay. Moreover, this could allow for more capitalism, not less, as people could use their spare time, if any, to work on their own innovative projects.
You would then be subjecting people to indirect paths with multiple transfers. Instead of going from A to B you'd have to go from A to the first bus depot to the second bus depot to B, waiting for another bus at each transfer. If the trip was 30 minutes to begin with, now you've made it 45 (at best).
Traditionally when people are on an endless campaign of accusation, they are actually up to their ears in whatever they're accusing others of. The anti-gay politician is exposed as gay, the evangelical pastor is leading a life of excess and vice, people talking about fake news fabricate deceptions and try to pass it off as news... This is generally so reliable, you can just change the pronouns from "They" to "We" and get an accurate statement.

I'm pretty sure the actual fraud and abuse here is coming from inside the house. Claiming the richest man in the world isn't motivated by money is like claiming Jeffrey Epstein wasn't motivated by sex.
Not really, because the bulk of my work is building websites, and even in a down market, a website is an integral part of my clients' business. My work is not really seasonal, either.

To be honest, the distinction between full time employee vs. contractor is less important (i.e. affects your work less) than other factors like your capacity and willingness to engage with people, industry, tech stack, and willingness to learn new stacks.
The fundamental distinction is usually made to contrastive approaches (i.e. make correct more likely, make everything else we just compared unlikely). Ebms are "only what is correct is more likely and the default for everything is unlikely"

This is obviously an extremely high level simplification, but that's the core of it.
It worked well! Most messages did go through! The caveat- I don't think anyone was also using Bluetooth headphones

IANAL but I don't think there's a need for O-1 evidence to be from a specific country. The evidence just needs to credibly show that you're extraordinary.

Republicans are the right wing party, Democrats are the conservative. That's why their response is to uphold the status quo and existing power structures while they do ineffective, ceremonial, wonky frittering around the edges.

Their progressive policies were adopted after Fortune 500 and major institutions had changed theirs.

Whether it be climate change or gay marriage, established companies like Goldman Sachs and Amazon were there first and the Democrats followed because they desperately align themselves with the status-quo regardless of where it is.

Just scroll through the Google News result for "Democrats". People scratch their heads because they assume they're supposed to be oppositional as opposed to institutional.

Once you understand they're the party of establishment, status quo and hegemony, there's literally no more confusion on their motivations or lack of action.

You could not pay the average person to run a local LLM instead of just relying on Siri/Alexa/Google Assistant/whatever is built into the apps and hardware they use every day.

You could sell these to HN commenters who will play with it for a week and then put it in the cupboard to gather dust next to their Raspberry Pis.
The only source we have for the contents of those rejection letters is excerpts from the individual rejected.

I don't think we can extrapolate from that data set alone.

Okay look I feel like you really took the wrong stuff away from my comment. Race was just an easy example to draw on, it wasn’t my point.

> I think the left (or a major segment of it) has consistently called for blurring the lines between matters of taste and legitimate criticism, and actual spite. Shirking urban gibberish and seeking out a relationship partner of your own race and cultural background isn't usually rooted in spite.

Like man look I wasn’t really trying to get into a discussion about racism or call you racist or something. I could just as easily have talked about bullying of disabled people or something. Anyone who the cultural subterfuge identifies as an outgroup. That being said, “urban gibberish?” Maybe the race thing tripped a nerve or something.

> I've never seen a bully that picks on minorities as a whole. They pick on peculiar individuals with unpopular traits.

The way I was intending to use the word minority was to refer to those deemed “peculiar” by the group; i.e., I agree with you.

The way that the bully chooses their target is often by finding the individual isolated from the group. We should then ask why that person was excluded, to which my general answer is that they had traits disliked/alienated in that cultural subterfuge I mentioned.

> If you think only racial minorities can be victims of racism, you're very wrong. I would argue that minorities are often meaner to majority-aligned victims than the other way around.

If you want to have a discussion about race, we can do that instead, but I wasn’t talking about this in any way. The thing that matters for bullying is usually being a statistical minority. A white kid in a largely black school may also get bullied.

>I think bullies are often unhappy people themselves, or else they have a social dysfunction that makes them apathetic toward how their behavior affects others. But what do I know.

I don’t know why you can’t see that you’re literally agreeing with me. That unhappiness or apathy is precisely why many bullies are able to violate norms that would ordinarily prevent them from being cruel or violent.

>I would be surprised if non-bullies didn't think awful thoughts, perhaps far worse than what bullies think.

Yes, that’s the deeper layer of social values manifesting is my point. The bully is the avatar of the group that is often quite cruel, but unwilling to actualize that cruelty. The bully is like a pressure relief valve for all that disdain.
i dont think the stochasticity that's the problem -- the problem is that model gets "locked in" once it picks a token and there's no takesies backsies.

that also entails information destruction in the form of the logits table, but for the most part that should be accounted for in the last step before final feedforward

LPG had its chance here in Australia in the 2000's, but it didn't work out [1]. Subsidised conversions were offered back then, which many people took up on their 80's+90's model cars, but it probably led to the early demise of many of those cars. By the late 2000's there were factory cars selling with LPG "gas" systems, but they weren't as good as the petrol variants [2]. By 2011 you could get "liquid injection" models, which were as good [3]. But like the first article states, people with "large" cars were shifting to SUV's and dual cabs by that stage, and a lot of them were 4cyl petrol/petrol-turbo/hybrid/turbo-diesel, so their fuel efficiency was comparatively decent.

Also in 2011, the government introduced fuel-tax on to LPG, which it had been exempt/discounted on previously. So the price went up, and all of a sudden it wasn't as economical. So that put it in to a death-spiral, especially when many servo's started getting rid of it due to low demand. Now people with LPG cars have "range anxiety" [4]. Where I live (Perth, Western Australia), you are basically stuck in the metro area if you are LPG only. It also means there's a ton of ~2008-2012 LPG Falcons for sale second-hand at good price, but no one wants to buy them.

Out of curiosity, I just went and looked up some data for where I live - the Perth metro (source [5]);

Yep. They’re never going away.

It doesn’t matter if both support 100% identical feature sets, it’s gonna stay like that.
It's the same way in Germany. I suppose the difference is that America claims to have free speech and Germany doesn't.

Germany claims to have "freedom of opinion" (Meinungsfreiheit) though, which it clearly does not.
I could have sworn that was where this was going in the first place
Agreed. It looks like if you need to optimize it would be much easier to just modify the code directly. The result will also be more readable and therefore easier to support in the future.
Buy diesel buses and forget about all this green nonsense, it's a big lie from the electric industry.
No it isn't garbage. During the Biden regime they ran every culture war story that was expected from them. During COVID they ran a hardliner policy for two years. Then, when they were told about an imminent policy reversal around December 2021, they suddenly started manufacturing the new consent with questioning if lockdowns hurt school children etc.

They had been Iraq hawks, they are Ukraine hawks now.

The NYT most closely matches Chomsky's media analysis of all outlets, and unlike other outlets the NYT hides it well.
An, to be precise I really meant everyone, like including national banks and giant corporations and stuff. Ordinary folk like you and me can almost certainly ignore it, it's just weird I rarely hear people talk about how to price this kind of thing in for very long term assets.
Do you have a website/newsletter/social media or anything so I can find out when it gets eventually published
It was just released in the last day or two. There had been drafts I think but now it’s real.

So someone asked Apple and they said “sure we’ll support that”.

I think the big news is that RCS can now be encrypted without relying on Google, but that’s not what gets you headlines.
Now do Hunter Biden.
Just side note: that Wikipedia link seems really interesting - I'm familiar with the concept but not with details of various denominations and history. I'm definitely going to reserve some time for it in near future.
> Chinese values are worth spreading over American ones.

Well the US seems to be allying itself with a murderous dictator and threatening to annex it's neighbours.

China is less murderous than Russia, less warmongering and for those of us in Canada/EU, probably more reliable than a potentially fully-fascist US.

"Biden regime"
The government breaking the law isn't a constitutional crisis. It becomes a constitutional crisis when different parts of the government pull it in drastically different directions and the whole thing breaks apart. Currently the government is moving in exactly the direction the executive branch wants it to, the judicial branch has found that it has no traction to pull it back and the legislature isn't really even participating except for cheering on the executive. Like it or not, the possibile crisis has already been resolved by the executive discovering that it can do whatever it wants.

“Why won’t Apple interoperable with RCS? (Clutches pearls)”

Well well look who is slow to role something out now /s

Of course it’s stupid RCS involves on carriers upgrading, but what do you expect with a carrier standards?
Defaults matter. While I've gotten some of my friends and family members to install and use Signal, I still have more chats via SMS/MMS (and more recently RCS, since Apple finally started supporting it) than I do on all other messaging apps combined.
If I have the choice to leave my home country or not, and I choose to stay, am I then a foreigner?
I think Google‘s was something different. This is an actual standard that Apple is committing to implement. I was under the impression Google’s encryption was just their own layer thing they added on top it was not actually standardized.

When people asked last year about why Apple wasn’t implementing encrypted RCS I think they even said that they wanted to wait for a standard.
this is so true for networks that don't implement RCS servers,
not even Android - iOS interop present!

one thing i would like to see happen is deprecating SMS message with Labels rather than numbers, phishing has got far far too common in my jurisdiction RCS + some sort of DNS validation like atproto of sender would go a long long way
Home assistant is your gateway into this. You can even run it all locally with decent but not outrageous specs or plug into a cloud api. There is even an option to process home control locally and send other queries to the cloud.

How would I go about finetuning Deep Seek or Llama to do this?
I want to make AI's for the user manuals for specific products.

So that instead of a user looking in a manual they just ask the AI questions and it answers.

I think this will need the AI to do 3 things:

- general awareness of general manuals

- access to all the manual related documentation for a specific product (the specific product that we're creating the AI for)

- understanding of all the synonyms etc. that could be used to seek information on an aspect of the product.

How would I go about finetuning the AI to do this? Please give me the exact steps you would use if you were to do it.

(I know that general purpose AI's such as ChatGPT already do this. My focus is slightly different. I want to create AI's that only do one thing, do it very well, and do it with sparse resources [memory/disk space, low compute]).
Inactivated polio vaccines are widely available and do not cause the cases of polio that the attenuated vaccine does.
What they were probably referring to is the times people made a nuisance of themselves or harassed Muslims in public with Quran blasphemy.

Nowhere in Europe is it illegal to sit at home and eat pork. It is illegal to harass other people. I gather that's not illegal in the US (unless the people you harass happen to be powerful) and the general mindset in the US is so far in that direction that a lot of Americans can't even conceptualize what harassment is.

PyPI package to convert a local project into a single AI prompt
Hi guys, first post on Hacker News.
I made an open source PyPI package to basically enhance productivity while using AI on local coding projects. For example when you have a big project and struggle to explain your project to AI, this tool will be useful since you can import a whole project within a single command in your command prompt (and you can also customize your prompt basically). If you can give me any feedback do not hesitate (on whatever subject, concerning the files, organization or anything that you find non logical since it's my first PyPI package I'd love to hear about it !).
If you want to contribute too, you can :)
I'll work on the package to expand it as much as possible ! Thanks if you read this and have a nice day
> Once I have that arranged, I can think about giving again.

The cost of gutting healthcare is going to go way up. It’s much more costly to fight 10 pandemics that are affecting 90% than it is to maintain vaccinations and control of 10%. That 10% affected becomes 90% affected quickly without assistance.
That’s the extreme stretch a certain lobby has been pushing. Even in deep blue California, where that was the marketing for Prop 6 last year, 55% of voters laughed that characterization off the ballot. Sure, it’s like slavery, except that you’re not born into it but rather you ended up in prison by choice, it’s fixed in term instead of for life, they by law can’t physically harm you, they can’t enslave your offspring, etc etc.

For those looking to pester me with sealioning & strawmen arguments, I'm not interested. This is unsustainable and will come crashing down. If you have a retort locked & loaded, save it for 5-10 years & come back, we can discuss if this was another Silicon Valley snake oil frenzy or the real deal once every company overleveraged on AI has crashed & the rubble pile has stopped smoking.
Sounds like the standard wants phone RCS apps to do CSAM scanning as well as general analysis to see if the encrypted messages are about criminal activity. Not great.
The standard was literally finalized in the last day or two.
