HN user
This is such a good point that I hadn't even realized til just now. I'm a pretty tech-savvy user and was never able to really figure out how it worked, or at least how to make it work for me. Can't imagine the average user's experience!
I hate it when ads try to stop me from accidentally killing my baby
Isn't this something that technically already exists? It seems to me the government is demanding thst browsers have that capability; not that the companies would have to use that feature. But (1) it may actually not be technically possible right now? Or (2) the wording is confusing enough that it is essentially forcing the use, not just "having the ability"
Amongst "children", no. If for an adult, yes...
The post concludes that promoting LSD through anecdotal evidence is "harmful" and "naive" while condemning LSD through anecdotal evidence. I've had good experiences with hallucinogenics and think they're a societal net-positive, but if this post was promoting LSD based on a good trip with good results, it'd be equally bad. Maybe even more so.
It's just that doesn't even make any sense :(
While true that all countries had conflicts, most (maybe all?) of the developed world was never pillaged to the extent Africa and South America were. Not to mention a lot of the conflicts between those nations happened "voluntarily" between the fighting countries.
Africa especially, the current country borders were designed based on the division of property between all the European countries invading the natives' lands. That meant several tribes and groups were divided/grouped together, leading to wars that hold to this day. If I'm not mistaken the Rwanda Massacre is the major example of that coming to fruit
At that point we're back to the fact that humans make mistakes, so the AI is irrelevant. Had they not used AI, they could still make mistakes that look correct, even to experts
That's just false
Both are true
Had they described it that way, DALL-E would have received way more criticism.
Lecun and his team and/or Meta did a terrible job in managing the users' expectations
Is there evidence that "piracy corrodes the free market"?
The fact Elon paid 44b for it doesn't say anything about Twitter's actual value.
You seem to be out of touch with what the non-technical web users. Practically none will read and implement the stuff in their documentation in 10 minutes.
Even if some do, most of those will run into a tiny random roadblock and will give up.
Nothing as "techy" as Mastodon or the one you mentioned will be adopted at the scale of Twitter.
You're stating yourself that class is the problem and haven't even realized.
Why do you need a grant or scholarship?
Do you happen to have any actual cases you can point me to? I see this all the time in HN but it's never beyond "a buddy of mine said that he didn't do anything wrong and somehow they got locked out forever with no recourse".
Or it's someone saying that happened to themselves, and then they say they never did anything bad with their gmail. Which may or may not be true?
What's the sarcasm? You could argue the SAT is designed for testing skills that can only/primarily be learned within the current school system. And that System is designed to keep minorities out, so I could argue there's a correlation there
People like you would
Both are examples of price gouging... ?
You're right I didn't understand your point. Remember that communication is a two-way street, though
Is this "belief that the teacher is more important than the textbook" actually incorrect? It may be exaggerated, but the teacher is extremely important. How many children have given up learning something they were good at because of a bad tutor? I'll speak for myself and say that I never learned or did well in math in school because I had awful teachers, but then found that I was quite good at it when I found a tutor that explained concepts in a way that makes sense.
You also seem to think that "these people make the policies because they are the best at making policies for X", but again, is that right? Have you never heard of an incompetent politician?
They fully address this in the post
As they said, this is when you transfer out of GoDaddy...
How so?
Right??
"The solution is this, but I'm SURE people wouldn't like it, so you all are complaining too much"
What was the rate you chose?
Why is the US responsible for Iraq again?

Theres is more demand. Thus, stores looking for customers sell more of those products. Thus, there are more plant based products. (1) they may or may not have removed other meat/dairy products, but they may have removed other products, because meat and dairy are still excellent sellers and (2) that wasn't your point, you were saying they are hard to identify and heavily implied that it's maliciously done.
The demand side isn't being attacked anymore than in any other industry. "Buy our product because it doesn't include chemical X" is the same thing as plant-based meats saying meat is bad for you. Also, "Studies" aren't even in the top 5 reasons why people at scale make life-changing decisions... there are studies that say almost anything about diet, people are influenced by media. In the media, I've seen more ads and articles about how soy is bad, milk is good, meat is good. Why do you not have any issue with that, but you do have issues with studies being published that say the opposite?
The supply side doesn't need to be demonized, because it did a great job itself. All of those industries have made insane amounts of money through lobbying for deregulation in their respective countries and then lowering costs while increasing profits by using that de-regulated environment. That deregulated environment just needs to be filmed in its reality to be "demonic".
If that didn't exist, again, there would be no need for the veganism movement and you'd likely never hear about "plant based", since most people follow plant based diets because the supply side has made itself terrible.
You are correct. Re-read it while replacing that with plant-based and my points stand.
I'm able to differentiate any vegan product from a non-vegan one in under 5 seconds of checking. There is ALWAYS an ingredient list, which is always going to tell you very clearly what you're buying. It is also a good idea to do that to other products you're buying.
The "food industry" doesn't really exist, but the meat industry is heavily lobbying for strict regulations, as well as producing more and more ads ("eat REAL meat"). On the other hand, the "vegan products" industry is infinitely smaller, but also lobbying for their products to be less regulated and also putting out more ads.
There is no anti-meat jihad, there are people fighting each other with the same arguments for like 10-20 years. What you're noticing is in an increase in adoption because (1) it actually really works for a lot of people, and people have been uneducated about veganism until recently (which ties back to the meat lobbying and ad campaigns admonishing veganism) and (2) it's accepted by quite a few people that the climate impact of the meat industry is outweighing the benefit of eating meat, and so a lot of those people are starting to go vegan too.
E: and (3) the main piece: the hyper-focus on the bottom line turned the meat we're eating into hormone bombs. If everyone could eat locally grown ethically sourced meat, there would be no need for veganism, but there wouldn't be enough meat for everyone either. So it's a losing proposition either way, until we have lab grown meat at scale.
