If you remotely sign out, then when you delete the Apple IP files on the device, they aren't deleted off iCloud. So it's plausible they wanted MA to check for and delete the files …

I'm not really surprised that it hacked so many systems. It was told via the prompt to act like a hacker and "solve" hacking problems, so treating every obstacle it faced as part o…

I was under the impression that on HN you were obligated to assume the best possible argument, instead of the worst. Am I wrong?

It would be nice if services like Substack supported exportability, so when a writer eventually becomes successful enough to migrate away, or the platform itself is no longer a goo…

When writing my comment, I did think to myself that the commenter might be biased, but it was borderline. So I deliberately chose to steel-man the argument. They are of course free…

They are just applying the same logic behind all prescription medication to abortion pills. To this day, despite having taken them for the past 30 years, I still require a new pres…

To save everyone a click, it’s because they are required now to update the roads to ADA standards if they repave. So now more than 30% of the roads are in poor condition. ADA went …

It's open, with a small 'o', and no moral judgements attached to it. 1. You have the weights, so you can run the model yourself on your own hardware. 2. You have the weights, so yo…

They wanted to permit/compel all students to get loans. When you set the bar on the floor like that, you need to handle the obvious case of people who are given loans that they cou…

Bokom Haram regularly kidnaps children. The girls become “wives”. The boys become the next generation of soldier.

I think the idea is that if it's mandated, then the ambulance should be covered by some kind of insurance since it was medically necessary and not just Ol' Bob, the hypochondriac, …

Fines are strictly punitive. The only goal of the fine is to change behavior, not to be 'fair'. It's true that the fines differ per the act, but that's only because the act itself …

I don't think the meaning of republic changed, it just got conflated with democracy because we often say 'Democratic Republic', which requires at least in modern (18th century and …

To be fair, the US is arguably even more of a menace to Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and even the descendent of native Americans who live in other countries (e.g. Mexico). So the…

Can you give an example? I think any truth can be expressed inoffensively.

On https://castro.fm/ It says Castro plus has advanced features, side loading, night mode, icons and more. If you don’t charge for it, then highlighting it as part of the Plus pack…

Then I’m not sure why it works terribly here on the Ghanaian coast.

We like to think of physical products as one offs where what you buy tomorrow is the same as what you buy today. But I have run a bakery for 5 years, and you get better day by day,…

People do steal PVC pipes, albeit more commonly in bulk: https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/BNI-disco... In any case, the fiber situation in Ghana was dicy for a ti…

There's only 7 ground stations (or points of presence, I'm not sure what the difference is but they list them separately) or so in Africa, with Nigeria, Botswana, Mozambique, Rwand…

The problem of it not working well during the rain is a huge issue in countries where cloud cover can last days, and 3-5 months of the year has regular rain fall.

With a moral rights framework, that depends on the content of the edit. If for example you edit in racist views and leave the attribution of the original author because it’s just a…

Civil planning on that scale isn’t about feasibility but about what direction you want to shape the county in. A sparse railway system would leave parts of the country less populat…

I think these models have been trained to not accept 'new facts', so they don't take in user input (or the far more problematic search engine, untrusted tool input) and have that c…
