Google became so bad that here in Spain I've heard several different people say they now ask things to ChatGPT instead of googling them.
I think AI is just running up against a company whose mantra was "it just works" and finding consumers who expect a working product won't tolerate the lack of quality "AI" has delivered. Welcome to reality venture capitalists...

Hey. I’m an engineer at Grammarly Extension. First of all, I’m really sorry that our extension broke the UX on dbushell.com and caused the author to spend time and effort figuring this out.

That was never intentional, and we are using various techniques to prevent this from happening. Unfortunately, that wasn’t enough. The article clearly shows that there’s room for improvement.

We temporarily added an exception for dbushell.com as a quick fix. In the meantime, we’re working on a change to ensure proper style isolation; such issues must never be the case.

Thank you!
They recently gave out some 3-month free trial vouchers for users to give to friends. I have a spare one that I’d be happy to share with you if you’d like. Though I don’t know the best way to get it to you since I don’t think HN has DM functionality. Username is dperrin.01 on Signal if you’d like it.
> As for whether they knowingly let a spy leave, that would depend on a full timeline.

No it does not if the defense for denying him entry was knowing that he was a spy?

Stop arguing out of both sides of your mouth. So far both proffered explanations are unacceptable.

To be clear the two answers so far have been,

1: we found personal comments of him on his phone critical of the administration and denied him entry based on that, which is unacceptable on free speech grounds

Or

2: he was known or found to have secrets from one of our nuclear labs and was denied entry based on the fact that we knew he had these forbidden files, and we let him go. This is unacceptable on national security grounds.

You can’t mix and match from the two scenarios
I am happy with Microsoft's free grammar checker extension - Microsoft Editor [0], which supports foreign languages as well... although I still pay for Grammarly. Microsoft's works more smoothly and on more sites, including Hacker New!

The launcher was there to make it easier to pull the latest build without needing to check if a new version was available. A couple of years back the updates were irregular (sometimes a few days, other more than a week). We regularized the new builds once a week, but, still, the launcher now serves as a way to explore different unofficial or experimental servers that are being available (via registering in the GitLab project).
That's a bit of exaggeration, IntelliJ DB tool is okeish, but there is nothing special about it. Even rather dated SQL Squirell is equally good, or even better in some places (like keeping run sqls history, better configurability of unusual parameters of some more exotic databases, like, say, DB2).
Gorilla glass is a great example.
It's more like a stack language like FORTH.
I recently switched to Kagi and it didn’t take me very long to get accustomed to it, surprisingly. Which is probably a good thing, since mostly “It Just Works.” Also I found it surprising that I apparently do like 400-500 searches a month.

Id consider using their browser too if it worked with Private Relay, but alas.
This article taught me nothing about managing people I can't fire and I was really hoping to take something from this. I've had this happen before (and it may happen again) so I'm disappointed that this just ending up being "if you want to fire someone, and your boss doesn't let you, you'll probably quit".
Finding the time to go through and make sure its not relevant (like tax documents) and deduping photos. The ease of capturing things means we have far more to sift through. I agree I would like to just toss, but I have used older documents many times.

Interesting, but this misses perhaps the most embarrassing part: They're using Avid and not FCP.

I also don't buy the author's rationale for remote editing; it's oddly archaic: "high-end video production is quite storage-intensive, which is why your favorite YouTuber constantly talks about their editing rigs and network-attached storage. By putting this stuff offsite, they can put all this data on a real server."

Storage is cheap now, and desktop computers are more than powerful enough for any video editing. Any supposed advantage of remote "real servers" is going to be squandered by having to send everything over the Internet. The primary benefit of remote editing (and the much-hyped "camera to cloud") is fast turnaround, which you need for stuff like reality TV and news. But a dramatic series like Severance?

It is pretty baffling that Apple would create a PR vehicle that impugns its products like this. It would be better to say nothing. After Apple acquired Shake, they splashed Lord of the Rings, King Kong, and other major tentpoles on the Apple homepage at every opportunity... of course not mentioning that Weta was rendering those movies on hundreds of Linux servers instead of Macs. But at least Shake was the same product across all platforms, and it really was the primary effects tool on all those movies.

"they do not mention the use of Jump Desktop, which seems like a missed opportunity to promote a small-scale Mac developer. C’mon Apple, do better.)

Oh boy, this is just a minor infraction in Apple's history of disrespect toward developers. They do this, and worse, to major development partners too. I'm not going to name names, but after one such partner funded the acquisition of material on its own equipment and that material was used in a major product keynote... Apple not only neglected to credit or even mention that partner, but proceeded to show the name of a totally uninvolved competitor in its first slide afterward. The level of betrayal there was shocking.

It logically can be an improvement if experiences can have negative value. I think most people would prefer non-existence to endless torture with no hope of escape.
Sure, assuming that the other distractions present in an office don't offset that productivity.

No. The intention with the electromagnets wasn't really to prevent malicious cheating, just mostly to enforce cooldowns since it's very easy to forget/miss the different color of lights. The games are generally very chaotic and due to user error there are usually a few incorrect touches throughout the game that have to be quickly corrected manually anyways, so enforcing legal moves wouldn't make the experience better.

As for moving multiple pieces at once, the rule I have is only one hand and one piece at a time. This goes a long way towards preventing accidental bumps into other pieces and weird board states where there are multiple pieces in the process of being moved at once.
A lot of that is due to the Mormons. While they tend to vote Republican, they are some of the biggest socialists out there. They believe in giving 10% of their income to the church (and enforce it!).

Then they redistribute to their poorest members in the form of free private education at all pre-college levels and highly subsidized college as well. And with food banks, free or subsidized medical services, and whole bunch of other things the government doesn't provide.

They've essentially traded one government for another, but theirs requires belief in their religion and only applies to their believers (who happen to concentrate in Utah).
Search is effectively an openly solved problem, not something privately held onto by a few with secret technology.

I haven't missed a single aspect of Google search having switched to Duckduckgo 2 years ago. As others have commented here, where search fails often LLMs step up.
I find it unpleasant to sit through an entire comic book film. The problem is not my attention span.
For sure not. And if I would be destined to be sacrificed to one side, I probably would prefer being a badly treated slave for the other side. But in general I likely would have prefered to have no more Imperial master.

When a criticism sounds like a substitute for the real reason a person hates Musk, it is totally unfair.

For example, where was the disgust at the person who publicly called Musk insane first? A fair criticism would have included that. A fair person would also be aware that there is not a single person on the planet who has not called someone else a nasty name.

Again, we go back to my initial question [1]: what is the best evidence in favor of this?

Ex VFX person here.

It was quite common to have remote desktop cards on high end machines so that you could hide them away somewhere quiet. The edit stations/Flame/Baselite machines all hada fucktonne of 15k sas drives in them, so were really noisy.

You couldn't invite a director to see what you were doing, when all you can hear is disk/fan whine.

They were quite expensive because they needed to be able to encode and send 2k video in decent bitdepth (ie not 420, but 444), and low latency. Worse still they needed to be calibrateable so that you could make sure that the colour you saw was the colour on the other end.

Alas, I can't remember what they are called, thankfully, because they are twats to manage.

Yeah, and as you see, the 100 million is a highly questionable value. Just try to read past the first paragraph, maybe?

Nope. The germ theory of disease was not formed until 1800-s, the invention of vaccination was in 1796. There were some inklings that smallpox can be spread through contaminated items even before that time, but not much earlier.

I mean, when hundred and eighty men conquer millions you have to wonder. Surely there must have been a way for Incas to crush them.
My problem with Kagi is the AI junk. I get that people want it, but I do not, and I don't want to pay for it. In other words, if there is no "zero AI" plan that is cheaper than the equivalent one with AI, then count me out.

And it doesn't even have to be that much cheaper. Maybe 15% or so.

That said, a lot of people want it, so I hold no grudge that they do it. It certainly is reasonable use of AI compared to others.
How do you prove no effect on any bodily system long term? People don’t like to talk about it, or they pretend otherwise, but this is basically impossible.

If the benefit is great enough then the risk makes sense. That is the case in a lot of areas. Is it worth taking a risk of an unknown effect somewhere in the body in exchange for… a marked but not even drastic reduction in cavities…? Not sure…
ASML (or the EU) actually has leverage over the US, here. This is a key initiative of the current (and past) US administration, but it depends on ASML, and the US isn't close to an alternative.

What about cuts to the VA, impacting thousands of veterans?

Don't you think alienating our allies harms us.

Don't you think cutting USAID funding and losing our soft power will

Don't you think spreading lies after lies to divide the nation will harm democracy?

Anyway, since you seem to be OK with how things are going, what would you say to folks who are worried about America's future - to calm them down?

How will the life of Americans improve under Trump v2.0?
Google Search is now "the new Lycos", dated, spammed, more and more useless web search engine, used only because there wasn't anything better.

AI chats will probably sank Google search quickly, although it seems it is evolving in the direction of AI chat, that, hopefully will not pass to us wisdom of Quora, spammy Q&A sites, spam blogs, infomercial materials purchased by corporations, as regular search does.
I think if a company is willing to ship windows malware they're also willing to ship UEFI malware.
I wouldn't dare say that to a colleague or friend, because although they might appear to take it well, I don't think I'd be doing our relationship any favors. I'd step out with an excuse instead.

But given my lifestyle, I almost never have to be around anybody who's eating, except in contexts in which I can't hear them eating (busy brunch, say).
Well, one nice property of Japanese is the formal language is perfectly workable as a language. You'll sound a little stilted, but that's rather normal for foreigners.

If you spoke English while only sticking to formal grammar rules, you'd be unable to communicate like a normal person at all.

I think the comment on the word 'you' sounding informal is a misunderstanding. People use a common formal noun for 'you', あなた, frequently; it's just the nature of Japanese emphasizes social relationships and makes it easy to drop references to people, so using such formal references can be stilted in the wrong context. But that's a matter of word choice, not grammar.

Injecting LLMs is half the reason Google Search is shit.
Absent from that link but important context:

The reason why they are actively shutting it down, is that they are running low on fuel, and want to ensure that the spacecraft does not litter important orbital locations.

Gaia has spent its life at Earth's L2 Lagrange point, which is a valuable and limited area of space; they do not want to have to plan around dead spacecraft in future missions. Thus, before the spacecraft runs out of fuel, they have moved it away from L2 into its final graveyard orbit.

It is not capable of performing the science for which it was designed in its graveyard orbit.

Q1 sales call.

I was trying to stay apolitical but a CEO doing Nazi salute and not being fired is uncharted waters, at least in the last 80-85 years.

I keep going back to the horsemeat episodes on mad men, and the papa johns CEO getting booted. This is simply unprecedented in brand management. Brands take decades to build, and are especially important for car companies.

No, Apple AI is a letdown regardless
But I believe since a ToS isn't a copyright license, this can't really be enforced using copyright laws. Most likely they can ban you. Is there even a slim chance you could be sued for breach of contract? Hell if I know, I'm not a lawyer.

Thinking another layer deep, though, if someone used OpenAI tools to develop software that then later got used to compete with OpenAI, surely it would fully workaround this already unenforceable ToS restriction anyways, right?
Fun fact, "confabulation", not "hallucinating" is the correct term what LLMs actually do.
To add onto 3, I do my taxes every year using either the desktop version of Turbo Tax or H&R Block. They only make Mac or Windows versions of their software.

I've read online that people have attempted to use wine in order to emulate the Windows environment with no success.
Sorry, this take is not good.

Yes, attaching many terabytes of video is cheap now.

But scrubbing through that high res raw video isnt (just) size intensive. Its throughput intensive. Size : throughput :: energy density : power density. You can get pretty good all SSD NAS but using a 40Gbps (5GBps, minus overhead) Thunderbolt 4 is still gonna be ok but not stellar. A single desktop SSD can triple that!

I can fully see the desire to remote stream. Being able to AV1 on the fly encode to your local editing station, or even 265, at reduced quality, while still having the full bit depth available for editing sounds divine.
Did y'all run the remote desktop over specific networks?
This quote says it all (about buying Twitter) - ‘How else are we going to get Trump elected in 2024?’
Was just pointing that out since OP was saying it would refuse on Disney styles, though Disney doesn't have the copyright to Ghibli they still have US interests in the IP. But what he was saying doesn't seem to be true, it will do disney style drawings like it will do Ghibli.

(edit: from another reply it sounds like Disney is no longer the Ghibli distributor though, I guess that's why they are on HBO Max and not Disney+

Styles aren't copyrighted anyway, Steven Spielberg has produced Disney-style animated movies outside of Disney, and Disney has taken styles from others)
Because they've re-indexed since then and different hallucinations will exist.
I'd say in this case it's worse if you have recycling because then you have to keep them around until you get them to recycling vs. just chucking them in the bin.
I was gonna reply to this earlier but forgot. I think there is a difference between a theory of ongoing dynamics and laws compared to a theory about what happened once upon a time. The former is easier and more valuable. But the latter has some value too.
Honestly that makes sense; they _are_ a lot fuzzier than humans generally. Maybe they might figure out how to use a tool to shave?

No, it's not a zero-value experience: it's no experience. Ugh, how do I express this ... in preferences, an experience of some kind is the goal, or at least, my goal. That means death isn't among the options: putting it in there is a category error.

Yes, I agree that this is state terrorism. I also agree with the article’s criticism section, inasmuch as I think there is a useful delineation between illegal arrests and e.g. the government planting bombs among its opposition [1].

There is really nothing written about Christianity until fairly late. At the time certain Christian writing originates in Europe, Christianity is well established in India. The various other stories attributed to the apostles are variously assumed to be partially true. For example, St Peters martyrdom at the Vatican hill, which was later found to be true.

There are two factions vying to de-link India from early Christianity, the white nationalists and the hindutvas. You've stepped into this mess because in a thread where I pointed out Christianity in India is native to India and as old or older than Europe you butted in to point out that may be the story of the apostles is not true

We can have a debate on the veracity of early Christian claims, but this is really not the place for it. The Syriac church has existed in Kerala for as long as Christianity and they do things their own way

> Christian kingdoms in the East threw-out the middle ages.

Indeed. The difference of course is that, the Syriacs have existed the entire time and are not a story
It uses graphics and movie snippets from Ghibli Studio movies, I wondering if this does not stretch fair use rules.
>The taxpayers were never at risk

I’d implore you to research more about how the CCP is administered. There are payments before any astronaut gets a ride. Meaning if the company goes out of business beforehand, the taxpayers lost that money without receiving the actual service intended. That’s also why NASA selected two CCP contractors, it distributes the risk. Maybe you think socializing risk to the taxpayer makes him a smart businessman, I just wish people would comes to terms with the fact that his wealth is inextricably linked to taxpayers. Like I said before, it’s not even necessarily a bad thing but call it what it is. I personally think the hybrid public-private arrangement works well when it’s not being abused.

Regardless of all that, the point was that Musk is not a paragon of free-market capitalism. Nothing you’ve pointed out negates that point, yet people still cling to that narrative for…reasons. I suspect it has more to do with cognitive biases than reality.
> Avid is the industry standard and has been for years. Doesn't matter how good or bad FC is.

FCP used to hold 60% of the market (by various estimates), and then Apple botched both the transition to FCP X and the Mac Pro at the same time.

So where is the slippery slope in the Martin Niemöller poem?

The transgression against the groups does not change, it is just repeated on different "troublesome" out groups. I guess you can argue that the last line, where the I of the text is taken, is the slippery slope. But that seems a bit contrived.

My reading of it is that it is an admonishing against accepting injustice against groups that you yourself is not part of, and that if you do not speak up. Then who will speak up for you, if you need it.
It’s hard for me to consider a successful propaganda campaign as ironic. The word you’re looking for is either hypocritical or malicious.
