I don't use it too much, but I really recommend checking out the worldnews subreddit. Each story surrounding the me conflict is heavily curated, and the headline is chosen to minimise israeli culpability and direct discussion to other aspects. The comments are also overly vague and misdirecting, often focusing on different points and instantly tying in different issues which take a whole chain to address unpack, and then reorient towards the original discussion, even if having the guise of helpful discussion. You'll recognise it right away if you know what you're looking for.

The most common comments used to drown out actual criticism of israel and how to address its actions are actually the "aren't you glad we didn't vote for biden because he was bad for palestine" type. They will often be 4-5 of the top comments. Similar tactics are sadly used when discussing the crimes of the attack by emphasising the vileness of the acts in detail (despite both groups having plenty, and the world knowing both) and twisting the knife to make it too painful for people to engage with the discussion to exhaust them.

Let us not forget Israel has had a citizen driven hasbarah app which gives citizens "goals" (pre pasted propaganda messaged they are expected to post on their accounts) every morning to carry out online for over 7 years (reported by haaretz) https://youtu.be/iYzVOlcENZ4?si=IrN3FALmKVvIYkNJ I imagine it is much more discreet and efficient now.
> How does it make them more expensive. Where else are they going to sell the already produced tomatoes?

It’s currently cheaper for me to take a vacation to Canada to buy next year’s skis than it is to buy them domestically. That’s demand transfer.

On the other hand, car factories that used to export to America are being idled in Canada and Mexico. That’s supply contraction.

More pointedly, if you have an unreliable trading partner, it makes sense to offer discounts to other buyers who will make up for the price cut in the long term. (Either with increased quantities demanded or a less-volatile trading relationship.)

> We already know from history that devaluations don’t work. What has changed that suggests they have suddenly started working?

We’re not in a controlled devaluation. This is America facing its first semblance of a currency crisis. Far from fully blown. But if a large foreign holder of Treasuries started dumping them, for example, and were to co-ordinate it with our erstwhile allies, that could create problems.

Where does that document say that WebTransport is just WebSockets over HTTP/3? The only thing in common is that both features provide reliable bi-directional streams, but WebTransport also supports unreliable streams and a bunch of other things. Please read the docs. There is also RFC 9220

>Today we have the BRICS trade block representing more than half of the world's population.

As far as I understand, the BRICS block does not actually exist. I mean, being member of it does not mean anything serious. There are no obligations, no agreements, no roadmaps. We might as well talk about a alliance of countries whose names begin with the letter "S"

At some point I realized I've disabled notifications completely and basically the only thing I was using my Apple watch was paranoidal heart rate monitoring.

I really don't agree. Rather, the 2015-2024 period has seen a huge increase in US GDP relative to the EU, which is probably largely driven by the US ability to spend, due to these particular things.

Of course, countries like China are catching up anyway-- they're more than a billion people and very able, and of course, people are working hard to get out of this arrangement. I agree that it will be disruptive, but I think the crash has been in the making for years.

When US interest rates went from 1% to 4.5-5% without a drop in stock prices or a corresponding increasing in dividends I could only interpret that as pure irrationality, and even now companies like Tesla still have P/E ratios of 133.54 whereas excellent firms in the same business-- Volkswagen and Toyota have P/E ratios 3.24 and 6.21 respectively. I'm surprised it still hasn't gone through the floor. The traders by trading at these prices are implicitly assuming interest rates will go back to <1% without any drop in earnings, and that won't happen.
AI is essentially a hardware/electricity arms race.

Whatever model is at the top can be surpassed if a competitor has enough compute scale. We are rapidly approaching the era where it’s difficult to have enough power in one campus. Distributed sites are needed if models continue to scale at 4.7x/year (see Epoch.ai) simply from a power perspective. You have to put the data centers where the power is and connect them together.

I believe the era of distributed training is already here however not everyone will be able to distribute training to multiple sites using their scale up networks. Their scale out networks will not be ready. So it could be that we see models plateau until distributed training infra is available.

I see the infrastructure side of AI and based on HW build out; Google has been slow to build and is behind everywhere.

A backstory where he explains dispassionately that after repeatedly unsuccessfully pivoting into industries neither of them understood, he came to the conclusion his cofounder wasn't learning from these mistakes and he needed to take a different approach even if it meant starting again with nothing doesn't sound any harder to sell than a backstory where he explains the rationale behind pursuing four more pivots he didn't believe in before running out of money. Also sounds like a situation where his existing investors have probably written off the money and may even agree with his perspective on the pivots.

Bailing from a startup with significant traction or bailing when it's too early to tell could be much harder to explain away, but it doesn't sound like that's the problem here...
Once again, our hope is for the Chinese to continue driving the open models. Because if it depends on American big companies the future will be one of dependency on closed AI models.
I believe you have been misinformed. In fact, there are a number of distinct groups of people who, for fundamentally different reasons, oppose policy derived from gender identity ideological beliefs.

In the case of policy that enabled incarcerated men to transfer to women's prisons, the opposition came first and foremost from radical feminist collectives, on the very clear principle of this being detrimental to women. Look at the Women's Liberation Front (WoLF) in particular.

The Republican political machine only started to take a serious interest in this later on, when they realized this was an opportunity to attack the Democrats on unpopular and demonstrably harmful policy.
Nice to see that they added that, but that section wasn't in the article when I wrote that comment.
> I'd love to see a reproducible example of these tools producing something that is exceptional.

I’m happy that my standards are somewhat low, because the other day I used Claude Sonnet 3.7 to make me refactor around 70 source files and it worked out really nicely - with a bit of guidance along the way it got me a bunch of correctly architected interfaces and base/abstract classes and made the otherwise tedious task take much less time and effort, with a bit of cleanup and improvements along the way. It all also works okay, after the needed amount of testing.

I don’t need exceptional, I need meaningful productivity improvements that make the career less stressful and frustrating.

Historically, that meant using a good IDE. Along the way, that also started to mean IaC and containers. Now that means LLMs.
There are in general a lot of different companies doing things which some segment of the population considers immoral. Around HN, things having to do with privacy-violations are often frowned upon by a large percentage of the population here.

I don't always agree with these assessments, and I even less agree that this means you can point to people at various positions in these companies and call them "immoral".

Some people will consistently hold the belief that anyone working at Facebook, or Google, or whatever, are immoral. Most will inconsistently hold that belief - if they're arguing against someone, they'll use this kind of reasoning, but not in general. I'm mostly against this line of thinking in general.

Look - In some corners of HN, having worked with or served in the US military in any capacity is enough to make someone immoral. In some corners, working at a gambling company in any capacity makes you immoral. In some corners, being a doctor in any way related to performing abortions is immoral. In others, taking part in the capitalist system in any way is immoral. I doubt you or anyone agrees with all of these positions - so I think the general rule is that just being associated with something that some portion of people think is immoral is simply not enough to consider someone immoral.

(There are of course things that almost everyone considers immoral, and being associated with them could be enough, though even that barometer is sometimes wrong.)
Google is winning because LLMs without a (good) search backend are mostly useless.

So many LLM workloads require high quality search results (backed by efficient, relevant, complete and up-to-date indexes), and that’s Google’s muscle.

The military is not going to take action until it is absolutely necessary. Yes, the military is sworn to uphold the constitution, even over presidential rule but it's also well understood that a military coup should be avoided at all costs. Once initiated you cannot undo this. It has significant repercussions and has significant risk of starting a civil war. It is not a thing that starts one day and ends the next. It is a thing that at best last weeks, likely lasts months, but could last indefinitely.

It is also worth mentioning that the military is not a uniform and monolithic entity. If you're asking what arm is on the other side of that civil war, well it was originally part of the one the initiated the coup in the first place.

Trust me, no one wants a military coup. It should not be a tool used lightly. Do not ask for this until all other options have been exhausted

I think the key is that Google is the gateway to the internet for the entire world.

Think about it. Whatever you’re trying to do online, either Search, Chrome or Android are in the critical path of like 90%+ of people if not more.

Once AI is deeply baked into these products, which are more like the “operating system” of the internet, the race is basically over.

Not to mention that Google is already sitting on the largest money printer in history and they can do this all day.

And certainly becomes noticeable financially, when you go abroad making holidays to these awesome nowhere places.

>I guess I was sold the idea that I neeed notifications, weather and all this bullshit on my wrist all the time.

I understand your viewpoint but people are different. My friend is almost 80 years old and wasn't drawn to smart watches because of FOMO fear-of-missing-out on some Instagram notification or hustle culture to constantly check emails. Instead, she's always worried about "forgetting something" and the Apple Watch has reminders for medicine, upcoming appointments, etc. It was a total quality-of-life improvement. It caused a total rethink about the old mechanical watches that didn't assist her in that way.

If a mechanical watch that will be "admired 200 years from now instead of being in a landfill" -- doesn't help her take pills -- then she's not going to be attached to the romanticism of it like a watch collector enthusiast.

>Most swiss mechanical movements cost 50-100$ though.

Your clarification means you misinterpreted my comment. I was not insulting mechanical watches such as your Mido or gp's expensive IWC. My point was that it's rare and counterintuitive when a cheap disposable product causes a total rethink of previously valuable items regardless of the older item's "timeless qualities" (e.g. "200 year heirloom").
It's still hard. Maybe he or she has had better luck and opportunities than you, but that doesn't mean they don't suffer just as much when bad things happen.

> Manipulating the free flow of speech is inherently wrong.

That is an absurd statement.

Almost every platform has mechanisms for taking down content, for good reason. Is asking to take down copyrighted content "inherently wrong"? Is asking to take down illegal content like child pornography "inherently wrong"?

What about someone publishing the name and address of a pro-Palestinian activist and saying "let's get together and kill him"? Would taking down that be wrong?

Without knowing the actual content that was asked to be removed, we can't judge whether it made sense or not.

> They are demonstrably censoring pro Palestine content without any regard at all to pro Israel content, or even pro Israel content that incites or calls for violence

Is this demonstrated in the article? I might have missed it but I didn't see any comparison to how pro-Israel content is handled.
> That's boring.

How can you continue a conversation like that? It's insulting and the person is now way more disinterested in talking to you. Best way is to be curious about the other person, whatever they're into. Gradually you can find some shared interests and common ground for being friends.
But… they can't remove citizenship retroactively. What I mean is today there are citizens and non-citizens, but there are no classes of citizens. Either you have citizenship or you do not, it doesn't matter how you acquired it.
> now you need to synchronize a list of sessions everywhere..

No. You just maintain a single deny list.

> which is exactly what we were using JWT to avoid...

JWTs were designed to allow servicss to do stateless checks. Originally this meant clients getting single-use bearer tokens, or worst case scenario short-lived tokens. Revocation lists are only relevant if JWTs are explicitly used in a way that goes against their design goals of being short-lived.

Nevertheless, you are also wrong: JWT denylists have absolutely nothing to do with sessions. The are a list of what JWTs should be rejected by resource servers. A client can and does handle many JWTs throughout their session, whereas resource servers only need to periodically refresh that list and check if a JWT ID is in it or not. This does not make JWTs more or less stateless.

That's exactly why it should be illegal: so people don't have to agree to an abusive and money thirsty contract.
As the other poster said, this sounds more like a toxic work environment than like an environment were constructive (those are rarely heated) discussions take place that will actually improve a project. I mean maybe everyone was so busy shouting at each other that they forgot to actually properly plan and risk manage the project?

It sounds to me like lots of discussions should have been had before getting to this point? So sure at the point where you ended up, things get heated because everyone is overworked and frustrated and being pressured from all sides, but that's not really a function of a complex project, but more of a poorly managed/executed one?
> the American people are not in support of what is being done

Some very much are in support of this, others very much aren't, and whole bunch more (possibly a majority of people) don't even know this is happening.
And what is the actual impact? Don't get me wrong, I don't think it is not bad, but then again abusing information could be done already by the said providers (ex: hike insurance rates based on previous conditions, taking advantage of vulnerable people).

Society works by agreements and laws, not by (absolute) secrecy.

There are of course instances like electrical grid stopping for days, people being killed remotely in hospitals, nuclear plants exploding, that would have a different impact and we might get there, just that it did not happen yet.
The ads angle is an interesting one since that's what motivates most things that Google and Meta do. Their LLMs' context window size has been growing, and while this might the natural general progression with LLMs, for those 2 ads businesses there's pretty straight paths to using their LLMs for even more targeted ads. For example, with the recent Llama "herd" releases, the LLMs have surprisingly large context window and one can imagine why Meta might want that: For stuffing in it as much of the personal content that they already have of their users. Then their LLMs can generate ads in the tone and style of the users and emotionally manipulate them to click on the link. Google's LLMs also have large context windows and such capability might be too tempting to ignore. Thinking this, there were moments that made me think that I was being to cynical, but I don't think they'll leave that kind of money on the table, an opportunity to reduce human ad writers headcount while improving click stats for higher profit.

EDIT: Some typo fixes, tho many remain, I'm sure :)
