I'm putting my money on somebody fat-fingering the wrong contact. Maybe it's just me but I swear every phone I've ever owned has had extremely unreliable UIs, stemming from a combination of phantom touches being detected, and the phone moving buttons around as I'm trying to interact with it, as if it's on dialup line struggling to load somebody's Sonic the Hedgehog fanpage on GeoCities one gif at a time in 1996. And it's just phones too, this never happens on my PCs.

Of course, none of this excuses the failure to verify the identities of everybody in their chat, the choice to use a (probably) unvetted app on a (probably) unvetted personal device, or any other of a number of basic opsec rules that should be obvious to anybody who is vested with the authority to order an airstrike on the other side of the planet.

I agree. It’s way more interesting to gain insight into when, why and how people in a position of power succeeded in abusing religious beliefs to project even more power. It’s quite fascinating how powerful that manipulation tactic was. And, sadly, still is.

Have you considered the additional cost of making it harder for your customers to do business with you, as well as the limited visibility that you set up for attacks that may become multi-stage in nature later?

You never see or collect the information by blocking everything at the outset.

In a world where you can proxy past these blocks fairly trivially, that's information you don't have for attribution later.

Defense in depth, or layered defenses are a best approach, but not if they blind you equally.

I had to fiddle with the dates to find a couple examples of blogs that violate the single-author rule in the methodology (marginalrevolution, ribbonfarm) but it's probably better to have them included.

Even though a glance suggests the majority of high-scorers are self-hosted, I wonder if this dataset is valuable for predicting the strength of different blog hosts. Some fiddling did lead to a couple results that are hosted on Blogger or Ghost or Medium, so they are there.

Power is less appealing if you aren't seeking to abuse it. I agree that an ethics and morality lens is both useful and necessary, but I fear it doesn't illuminate the actions and motivations of the powerful. Perhaps in contrast or relief, but not directly.
I'm not doing anything of the sort. The kind of problem I'm flagging in is experienced every day by governments all over the world. Would anyone disagree? People on here who want to put their heads in the sand about it are just being political when there is a legitimate technical topic to discuss. The point is these aren't "rank and file" actors. They are at the top of political leadership. Those rules don't apply at this level of power politics so why get bogged down in such thinking?

Maybe the "HELL YEAH" added a "party implication" which shifted it's "thinking" into just correct enough latent space that it was able to actually hunt down some image somewhere in its training data of a truly full glass of wine.

I'm not sure if they still buy the books, but I know from someone who worked as a judge in Germany, that they personally stopped buying the books only ~5-10 years ago, because they saw that the online availability was good enough now.

But my point is that, as far as I know, there is no official version of the final text. The official publications are made in the Bundesgesetzblatt (which had been privatized in the past, but that's another story). The publications might look like this:

1947: We hereby make the following text a law called Grundgesetz "Artikel I: Human dignity is inviolable"

2026: We hereby change the law called Grundgesetz by changing the first article to say "Human or Alien" instead of "Human".

Now there are a lot of entities that will consolidate these changes into a final text. But this consolidation isn't done officially. So, while in this example its easy to see, that in 2026 the law would read "Human and Alien dignity is inviolable", it becomes less clear when these changes are spread over 80 years and are only available as PDFs.
It is somewhat ironic that they had to use an OpenAI model for this research. At the same time, this gives nice continuity from earlier works that demonstrated similar, smaller scale, results using GPT-2.

Seems a shame. I do personally suspect neonicotinoids but only because of wide ranging discussion. Down here (oz) Varroa mite is more of an issue and we're trying to breed resistant strains. AID on bees under a microscope. Who knew?

The other thing to temper concerns is that again from an Oz perspective, it turns out several fly species are prolific pollinators. We love bees, we love honey and we've built out a commercial fruit/plant pollination service on hive rotations but it doesn't mean nuclear winter for the food chain if commercial honey bees go into decline, if we can find suitable pollinator species. Or native bees, if not honey bees (the ones down here are stingless which is quite an upside)
I guess my comment wasn’t clear, but I’m saying if on average half the people are not social, then in a city that leaves 250, which as you point out is plenty. In a suburb, because the total population of a block is smaller, the variance in the percentage of anti-social people is going to be much higher, even if averaged across all blocks you still get 50% (or whatever the population average is). If the number drops to 20, for example, my experience is this is less likely to form into a “community.” Twenty is a lot of people but you need more because any given person isn’t available much of the time.

This matches my own experience of living in the suburbs where some streets are way more interconnected than others.

To be clear I’m not claiming this is rigorous social science. Just sharing my intuitions based on experience.

He sure takes his time! I stopped (for now) at 32min when he skipped the least trivial step to showing his invariant holds. It's fairly trivial too, some element leaves B and is max'd against x, max of those two things is conserved. I don't know why he skipped it. It's a little mean spirited, what with the "you'll get replaced by LLMs if you can't solve it" comment.

Anyways, it's often like this with these experts, some are so far in their own worlds, they no longer have any notion of what other people understand, so they either over or under shoot the complexity of their talks drastically. Complete with a trivial mistake where max is replaced by min in the numerical application, à la Grothendieck's prime 57. At least this chap wanted people to understand his talk.

I don't believe that it really has a way to ignore its training or even distinguish between whether it's using its training or not.

I'm going soft ranching as a hobby. Honestly, I want to get a few cattle which I control the inputs too 100% such that get 100% grass fed beef.

My profit is primarily driving down my costs as much as possible such that I can become self sufficient.

My wife and I are carnivores, so our diet is basically beef, butter, bacon, eggs. I'll start with raising chickens such that I can produce at least a dozen a day. Then I'll get beef, and I'll just buy bacon and butter.

I'm designing my barndo right now such that it has a simple living space for me and my wife, and then a big bro science gym where we can work out.

It's the dream right now that I'm clinging too since I'm moving forward. I lost all my stuff, and I'm waiting for insurance adjuster. Fortunately, I had a very good career and I'm in my early 40s, and I'm going to different stuff. I've always wanted land, so I'm going to do it. It's going to be great! (or, I'm deeply traumatized and using optimism to deny the reality of escaping a burning building :shrug: )

Regardless, we should be friends as I love to learn more this. My hope is that I can spend a few years recreating all the 4H knowledge, network with farmers, and just learn new stuff which... isn't tech.
That's a good question, for a lot of them, and especially Musk.

When did Zeus provide moral teachings?

Jesus is fundamentally interesting because the moral teachings of the cult in his name have persisted as the dominant state morality for European societies for about a millennium and a half since Julian the apostate’s death to the present day.

Even Marx owes a huge amount of his philosophy to Owenite socialism and Christianity. The teachings of Jesus turn ideas of power on their head.

> There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus

This idea is so deeply ingrained in western morality at this point that most cannot even see it but Christianity is the bottleneck through which all egalitarianist thought in the west has passed through.

You talk about faith impeding critical thinking while in the same paragraph talk about secularism as though it arose out of nothing.

The moral philosophy of the earliest of christians is profound and is the foundation of everything good in western society. The fanatical purism and reaction in what followed is instructive in terms of the cruelty that can exist in people professing empathy and the pitfalls of expecting a state to somehow act morally.

If we are talking about Jesus the same way we are talking about Zeus it will be the end of history there will be because there is no power in the idea that everyone is equal.

Show HN: TicketSidekick - The FSD of Triage. Automates the Incident Lifecycle
I'm excited to share TicketSidekick, an AI platform we've built to transform how engineering teams handle support tickets and incidents.

The Problem We're Solving:
Our founding team saw firsthand how valuable engineering resources were being consumed by repetitive triage tasks. Our research shows triage engineers spend 32.3% of their time on manual alert correlation, ticket categorization, and routing—tasks that can be fully automated.

What TicketSidekick Does:
- Complete Triage Automation: Uses ML to ingest, correlate, and filter alerts, eliminating false positives
- Intelligent Incident Routing: Auto-categorizes and routes incidents to the right teams
- AI-Powered Resolution: Automatically resolves common issues and generates responses for FAQs
- Deep Analytics: Provides actionable insights on support operations and system health

Early Results:
- 45% reduction in average response time
- 40% decrease in ticket resolution time

We've designed TicketSidekick to integrate seamlessly with existing tools like Zendesk, ServiceNow, Jira, and various monitoring platforms.

Our Vision:

We're building what we call "the FSD of Triage" - starting with AI assistance for human agents, then gradually increasing automation capabilities based on your comfort level.

Calculate Your Savings:
See how much your organization could save with our ROI Calculator: https://www.ticketsidekick.com/calculator

We're now accepting companies for our limited access program. Would love HN's feedback on our approach and the problems we're trying to solve.
It looks like it was approved only for CIA use with permissible use. Even though it was installed, did not mean it was suitable for all communications.

Here's the important relevant quote:

"It is permissible to use to communicate and coordinate
for work purposes. Provided that any decisions that are
made are also recorded through formal channels. So
those were procedures that were implemented. My staff
implemented those processes," Ratcliffe said.

"My communications, to be clear, in a Signal message
group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not
include classified information," he added.

>> Why

Because that notion is stupid on its face. If there is an ethical code that transcends human existence then nature itself violated that code by letting life evolve into humans. If some jackass wants to claim to know better than the forces of nature well... I'm not sure what else to say about that.
good catch, fixed! thanks :)
Vivobarefoot had massive quality issues many years ago. I owned many pairs of their shoes, and most of them eventually had the sole flake off in 1-2 years. I don't know if it's because I live in the tropics with extremely high humidity, but I think their shoes are poor value for money.

> But the idea that this breach can occur with no accountability, consequences, or operational changes is unacceptable.

There will be no accountability, consequences, or operational changes because the American people (a plurality of them anyway) voted for this. I like how people are even bothering to bring up the risk of prosecution, as if Trump wouldn't just pardon the people involved anyway.

Look, I am as disgusted as you are, but I continue to be impressed/disgusted by the neverending levels of shamelessness shown by Trump and his cronies:

1. Trump is now somehow blaming the reporter for this, calling him a "sleazebag".

2. Probably doesn't need repeating, but all the chants about "lock her up" against Hillary Clinton were due to her supposed mishandling of classified information. Yeah, waiting to hear all the outrage from the right over this 10x more egregious example.

3. I still continue to be awed by Hegseth railing against DEI because it's "anti-merit", as I can't think of an ass clown less qualified to be Sec of Defense.

Nothing will change unless the American people, at large, decide to punish those at the ballot box who exhibit these behaviors, and so far they have not been willing to do that.

All the major OpenID Provider want you to use a browser so that users aren't exposing their raw credentials like passwords to an application. We did have an experimental version of this working in a terminal for integration tests a long time ago, but Google views that as malicious behavior and tries to prevent you from doing that. It turns into an arms race with the IdPs.

The good news is you only have to login through the browser once in the morning and then you can use the generated ssh key all day long.
