They're not taking a stand. Turkey and India have right wing authoritarian governments that Musk is literal friends with. Brazil does not. I don't want un-elected social media billionaires making political decisions for me.

That's bad management if it's seen as career ending failure. Proper management just does the ROI on the successful ones versus overall cost. And doesn't risk everything on them. Large tech companies test hundreds of model cha

Banks do a massive amount of tracking and flagging. Even putting a joke “for drugs” in a Venmo field can cause issues. Plus reporting large transactions. There was a massive post on HN yesterday about how often banks close startup accounts

Less creativity is likely a plus for most jobs and not a negative.

LLMs are deterministic if you force a seed or disable sampling. They however do not guarantee that small input changes will cause small output changes.

I find the post confusing. The author notes two aspects of programming and then seems to conflate LLMs as doing both when they only do the second. It’s sort of like saying directing a movie isn’t art or creative because the director is not

If the police tell them illegal activity is happening and give them a warrant to wiretap and they are capable of doing so but refuse then yeah they’re looking the other way. That’s not even getting into things like PRISM.

You really should Google Snowden and PRISM at some point.

You do realize the police wiretap and get metadata from phone companies all the time, right? Not event counting Five Eyes stuff.

I’m sure a post office would definitely refuse a legal request to intercept the mail. Guess not: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_interception

You mean if you’re also running servers for it that store all the data in a format you can read and refuse law enforcement requests in your jurisdiction.

If someone says I need a cab for after I rob a bank and you give them a ride after waiting then you’re almost certainly an accessory. If they flag a random cab off the street then not.

You can report people and have their messages sent to Meta for review.

Because those providers cooperate with authorities and moderate their content to a fairly large degree?

Telegram not being fully encrypted and seeing the content of most messages on its servers but not cooperating with the police?

If they backdoored it between those events then it’d be logical to unban it.

Of the top 100 sites in the US the only ones I see that don't have ads are corporate (ie: Microsoft, Capital One, etc.) and Wikipedia. Arguably the corporate ones are nothing but an ads for that brand. Even Home Depot has ads on its si

Those mom and pop sites are often filled with trackers and ads. Assuming they haven't just moved to using a third party service that does it for them. It's like saying the person shooting you isn't at fault but only the gun t

History doesn't move backward and the internet users of the mid 90s are not the internet users of now. Give the vast majority of internet users a choice between the internet of mid 90s (after that ads powered it all) and having nothing

That's not the alternative. The alternative is the death of most sites other than walled gardens like Meta and Amazon that own their own advertising end-to-end. Do you want the internet to be even more Meta controlled?

That biases heavily to candidates with good people skills and the skill to take over a conversation. Yes, you are not in fact immune to this even if you think you are, that’s why it’s so dangerous.

You mean pay for your own tools and then get fired for circumventing the corporate security policies on what tools you can use?
