To me it just sounds like you're holding interrogators to an unreasonably high standard in order to deny the findings of the study. If we're talking about statistical aggregates, knowing that the average person lacks the knowledge to exploit known biases of current AI models is enough to dismiss the expectation that interrogators should target them specifically. Commenters also seem to be missing the fact that this is a situation where the interrogator does not know if they are conversing with an AI model or a human being. I wouldn't expect someone to go all out boxing a punching bag if I told them there's a 50% chance that there's another person trapped in there. I've never seen the Turing Test described in such demanding terms, and a look at the Wikipedia page contradicts the definitions pushed forward here.

Perhaps another name should be coined to describe the level of perfection that critics expect from this. It sounds like what you want is something akin to a comprehensive test for AGI.
For a deep dive on Graft, a talk I did two weeks ago at Vancouver Systems just went live! You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_OacKS2h5g

The talk contains a lot more details on how the transactional and replication layers of Graft work.
Yeah! Absolutely. They want the wheel to keep turning - and I do too, if I'm being honest! I get paid from the system like lots of people here.

I just would like for more people to acknowledge that. IDK. Seems more honest and more fitting to what everyone says the HN culture "really is."

> So I personally don't think it shows LLM models can fool humans trying to unmask them

Maybe these used special LLMs that are unrestricted or something but isn't it pretty trivial to get an LLM to output error prompts by asking them to commit crimes or talk about certain topics?

I think priming people to think they might be talking to a human skews the results here because people will be more hesitant to say really wild shit that the LLM can't react appropriately to, if they think they might be talking to a human
> I've seen positive news about Musk and his companies get quickly flagged and squirreled away.

Huh, I always thought it was the other way around. Anything negative about Musk also gets quickly flagged and buried. I guess we can agree that Musk is currently a lightning rod, and brigades on both sides are acting to hide (positive and negative) coverage of his actions.

For example, having the opinion that manifest V3 is good for users is an opinion that will not thrive on HN.

Personally I hope Tom will bring new moderation policies that will truly let unpopular opinions thrive, but I don't have high hopes here since this is just an announcement of a new moderator, not an announcement of new moderation policies.
it's a theory. when you present multiple observations just the fact that you group them together is not a value-free action and implies a common cause. calling it an observation is a crude and philosophically improper attempt to elevate it to a less refutable status.
I, for one, come here in substantial part for the norms against aggression and toward calm substantive discussion.

> Modern taste is more about more neutral-colored foundations with color accents. Don't paint a whole room green -- have a gorgeous green plant that stands out all the more against its neutral background. Don't paint a whole wall orange -- have a beautiful orange-hued piece of art on the wall. It's just more tasteful to use color as one element, along with size, shape, texture, and so forth.

I don't consider this to be a be-all, end-all of design, but I appreciate that designs following this approach can be stunningly beautiful. That said, this is not the problem. The problem is, what happens these days, someone films your room with that "gorgeous green plant that stands out all the more against its neutral background" and... color grades the shit out of color, making it near pitch-black on non-HDR TVs (and most computer screens) and merely grey with tiny amounts of trace color on HDR TVs.

This is the problem - or at least its TV aspect. That Napoleon example was spot on - most movies these days look like the right half, whereas anything remotely approaching realism would make it look like the left half. And TFA correctly notices the same washing out of colors is happening to products and spaces in general (which means double trouble when that's filmed and then color-graded some more).

The problem is HN is mainly left leaning so its difficult to have discussion at times as dang and the community will shut it down quickly as differing opinions are not welcome even if its factual.

(chances are people will downvote without comment or scream "ThAtS nOt TrUe")

(Love how HN proved my comment as correct)
"Stating biological facts" is code for an opinion about how society should view trans people, which is off-topic for HN.
No problem. Yes, I never thought of that! What is the practical benefit of having a license here and which one should I choose?

Yeah it seems there is less of a taboo among my friends, despite a strong tilt in one political direction.

Then you're not spending enough time reading the comments on controversial stories. Disagreement is alive and well on HN.
Since it's such a powerful action, it would be nice if flaggers had to at least justify the flag. Is it breaking a site rule? Is it spam? Is it not the original source? Does it actually violate the rules, or are you just using "Flag" as a mega-downvote for articles you don't personally like?
I think we need to get specific -- what preferences are you referring to, and who is the minority?

EcommerceFlow mentioned opinions that are "very normal nationally." I don't want to assume the worst so I'm trying not to read in to that.
Welcome, Tom. Not easy shoes to fill! Moderation can be tricky.
So, do you mean you don't like tone policing? You can say pretty much anything as long as the tone stays intellectual and doesn't go into brain damage politics, harassment, or conspiracy zone where it's being banned because it's off-topic and, frankly, exhausting and unproductive.

Great! Look forward to not noticing anything in particular changing around here. Seriously appreciate this site.
On 9 front there's vmx which is hardware virtualization. You can boot a Linux kernel with an nfs root from the local machine and use headless vnc to run a browser in a vnc client window.

I'd also like to point out that most users of Plan 9 dislike web technology because it's a giant nightmare of code. No one human can even begin to comprehend the code base of Chrome, let alone Firefox - programs that are as big, if not bigger than the kernels they run on. That is an absurd state to be in - your runtime requires a billion dollar company to maintain. Even open source Firefox needs millions in funding.

Whereas a single human can grasp plan 9 code from the kernel to user space. That's the runtime I want, something I can understand. The process is the container on plan 9 so you have everything you need to build distributed apps without a web browser. It's human scale distributed computing. I'd like a future without the "modern" corporate scale web.

He was done a great deal of injustice when he was passed over for the Turing award that was given to Hinton, Bengio, LeCun.

Then there is this from his blog --

Dec 2024: Sadly, the Nobel Prize in Physics 2024 for Hopfield & Hinton is a Nobel Prize for plagiarism. They republished methodologies developed in Ukraine and Japan by Ivakhnenko and Amari in the 1960s & 1970s, as well as other techniques, without citing the original papers. Even in later surveys, they didn't credit the original inventors (thus turning what may have been unintentional plagiarism into a deliberate form). None of the important algorithms for modern Artificial Intelligence were created by Hopfield & Hinton. Details in the recent technical report, with lots of references, links, and facts.

A sample size of one doesn't really tell you anything in this context. HN definitely has a pretty heavy bias in some directions, it's mostly that the crowd that naturally flocks here tends to mostly agree on those topics, so you don't see conflict too often.
Less-so that it has expanded from the decaf process, and more-so that the additional porosity leads to the 'crack' you get from reaching that critical temperature is much less violent, since there's essentially already many micro-fractures in the bean. Think of it like attempting to burst a pipe with a leak in it, vs. a pipe that is sealed. The leak will bleed off pressure, so you need much more flow (in coffee roasting, this would be power from heat) to get the same build up and explosion.
From the public's point of view, informing them of solutions they may not have been aware of.

From the advertiser's point of view, finding the people who have the problem their product or service addresses.

Both of those are things that are valuable and not harmful. In practice, advertising rarely does the first. Instead, it acts as a kind of psyop. Also, most advertising engages in numerous abusive acts which make any possible benefits moot.
Sure but I'm not even talking politics! My comment itself was barely a criticism of HN and, yeah, downvotes don't matter - but it's exactly what I am talking about. Any push against that coziness/bubble is not tolerated.

I do think it's OK for some forums - if the community agrees - to say certain topics (like politics) are off limits.

I don't really think it's ok for a community to say discussion about what should be discussed is off limits... or being critical of policies, the bubble, etc...
Love it or hate it, I think Elon Musk was trying to go for this with the Cybertruck. I think it's also kinda funny that there's something inherently 80's about visions of the future, it's too bad the real future has "produce(d) fewer novel aesthetics that humiliate the previous attempt at novel aesthetics."

But part of the thing I would say, is especially with media, is this is happening maybe too much -- Youtube, TikTok. So much there's no signal in the noise.

Though I will say, there's that music accented by gunshots/punches in modern trailers that I'm ready to move past.
Any idea on how much they offered?
Why is nobody talking about how Car Insurance is typically higher with any real colour selections? Insurance companies calculate that vehicles with certain colours (for example, Red) have a higher statistical probability of being in a collision than say... grey. This has created a downward pressure for people who would like colours in their vehicles, but would instead prefer to just pay less in car insurance since they may be aware of this aspect.

I for one don't like that car insurance companies do this, but this very likely is a huge reason why fewer people buy vehicles with colour beyond Grey/etc.
"Not thriv[ing]" is not the same as being quashed. Minority opinions don't always rise to the popularity or acceptance level of majority opinions, and that's OK.

I agree. You can get your caffeine boost from a pill if that floats your boat. I too love coffee and for a variety of reasons. I was only mentioning that there is a native plant that produces caffeine and has a pleasant taste so that it could serve as a caffeine (or tea) substitute in the event that supplies of real coffee became unreliable for any reason.

I drink lots of coffee and various teas.

I mean maybe, we had a few different models we burned with, but only a few. With the volume we needed to burn, we needed the speed. But, as a counter-point, I will say that with Taiyo Yuden discs our failures were very low, so the drives were only a component. IIRC we were using a lot of LiteOn drives which at the time were not bad.

I can see the advantages of both styles. Scale and proximity are very important to people traveling to destinations they don't usually travel to (often tourists), but the schematic nature of this new map definitely makes it easier to tell how the system interconnects.

It would be great if, in addition to providing realtime bus and train info, the MTA provided realtime station info so third parties could create maps in any style that were guaranteed to be correct because they would pull from live station data.

About data freshness, we would like to serve on our system the same information that you can find on the source website, and we have a few tickets pointing the difference to solve, so maybe the continuous strategy each hour may minimize it as today we do it once a day.

I play boardgames. I am also visually imppaired. So for me functionality is a massive issue. Readability is a massive issue. Being "pretty" is not an issue.

In this class of games, it's common for a game to be printed, possibly have several printings, and then go out of print. For particularly sticky games, they may come back with a reprint or redesign years later. And I've noticed going back decades that the redesign almost always replaces bold, functional, high-contrast designs for low-contrast, "realistic", "pretty' designs. Examples:

- Brass: original [1] vs redesign [2]

- Titan: original [3] vs redesign [4]

- Saint Petersburg: original [5] vs redesign [6]

I don't know why this is but part of it comes down to people wanting to add "value" by changing things rather than just reprinting them. But why go "realistic"? I think there's a pervasive idea in this space that "realism" is good. So that's a trend.

Cars go beyond color. Cars become a white or other neutral color because it's the least potentially "offensive". Car makers want the largest possible market. Plus companies like Hertz want this kind of car. But look at cars from the 1950s through 1980s and on top of color you have a lot of cosmetic design choices that we don't have now because they're less aerodynamic but, more importantly, cheaper.

In a way, the car ceased to become an object of expression. Instead for many people it's just pure utility. So the designs became utilitarian. You may disagree because people are very opinionated on what cars they prefer but I think that just expresses brand preferences not aesthetic choices.

Chain restaurants also exhibit this trend. Compare McDonald's from the 1980s vs now. A lot of fast food restaurants are now much harder to distinguish.
