Parallel construction would be if LE unlawfully intercepted transmissions using this technique and discovered a crime, then found other unrelated evidence to begin an investigation of that crime.

Indeed. Parallel construction is when law enforcement doesn't want to burn their source or their source is unlawful, so they find another way to justify a warrant or prosecution even tho their initial justification comes from a different source.

This has been upheld as lawful, but also can unfortunately be used to disguise unlawful behavior.

Reverse engineering is not related to parallel construction.

This is how markets balance. When there is under supply prices go up and incentivize production. When there is oversupply production goes down. Prices converge on a small premium to the price of production.

Seems much more likely the cost will go down 99%. With open source models and architectural innovations, something like Claude will run on a local machine for free.

I am not inclined to read this longwinded post. Anyone who writes a headline like this is not worthy of it's subject, and the popular comments would tend to agree.

I'm sure the author is well intentioned and filled with integrity, however trashing a thing you created because you feel dejected is inherently self-interested and unworthy of attention.

A widespread theory among et believers is that nuclear explosions bring the attention of et intelligence around the universe as a sign of sufficiently advanced life to investigate, and that aliens are here to make sure we develop without self-destructing and join the intergalactic world peacefully.

It's definitely better to know what traffic is real for many reasons, however won't clicks just lower the value of a click and conversion numbers, but leave overall conversion the same?

If conversion rate drops 90%, the value of a click should also drop 90% as companies adjust the bids for ads.

I'm sure this isn't always true in practice and it takes time for bids to adjust. I'm just wondering how much impact this actually has.

And on the other side, if ad companies were better at filtering bots, their clicks become more valuable and companies should be willing to pay more.

I believe if you connect directly to the tower a phone is connected to you can bypass central spam filters.

This is mentioned as a future feature.

Yes bubbles always have survivors. They will be hurt and also one day worth much more than they are now.

Bubbles burst when the media and public are finally bought in that they burst. This article is a good sign we aren’t there yet.

Yeah. This time it’s different.

Deflation is what you want for investment assets. Btc is primarily a value store and commodity like gold, not a currency. Deflation is a good thing when you are parking value.

Hard to say that your work isn't derived from a GPL project if you quite openly are reimplementing a GPL project you used at the core of your own project.

Being obvious to a developer poking at a product is quite disparate from successfully bringing a lawsuit involving source discovery.

Probably just went closed source.

This is really cute, however I have a hard time seeing a route to widespread adoption as a marketplace of source. I was going to suggest adding adoption and rescues, however there seem to be a number of highly rated apps in that space already.

I would imagine the most useful function if a pet is lost or found would be to allow posting to places like NextDoor, printing posters, a contacting shelters, etc. and offering other support to people.

Red light therapy is vasty undervalued among the techie longevity crowd I know when compared to supplements, perhaps because of the large initial cost and lower portability of systems.

The evidence seems stronger than for most supplements people take, for everything from hair loss to collagen production to soften tissue repair to brain function.

There is a large amount of evidence for red light therapy for all parts of the body.

Why does this upset people so much?

Lawyers use these AI tools regularly. I use them constantly for legal advice and double check with lawyers. They are right at least as often as the lawyers.

As someone who lived in China for a decade I can say affirmatively you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Chinese companies do not have to play by the same rules in China, and Chinese companies are de facto and legally arms of the Chinese government.

Sure and I don’t even think it’s a bad move for them. And also the US should act with reciprocity.

When I read your initial post I figured it was knee jerk reaction, and like many no’s was only the start of the conversation.

Now it sounds like you’ve got some sociopaths on the line. I would gather information and fish them to get very specific about their request and threat, then kindly turn it around on them. Be prepared to go above their heads all the way to the board if necessary.

China never has and never will offer a level playing field for non-Chinese companies.

The US is finally starting to act in kind, and should continue to do so.

Yeah I was wondering why there’s an ascii animation at #1 on HN. Flash back to 2008.

From the sound of it, they lowered our standards for the Honeycrisp and made way for an inferior but more robust apple that’s better than the lowered standards. While it’s likely they did this unintentionally it seems like the Cosmic Crisp is not as well-liked as the early Honeycrisp.

Seems also important to consider the positive impacts?

- traffic reduction - emissions reduction - quality of life / time recovery of train vs driving - socialization of society

That’s off the top of my head.

Not saying those justify anything however costs are not the only factor.

What would RFKjr do?

Yes. Unless brains are the only Structures in physics without quantum effects.

Lots of assumptions here about humans in 1000 years.

I suspect if we can recreate a human based on data, we also can learn them pretty quickly. Take a language course?

Also brains are complex systems in action, with vast quantum data and momentum that would be infeasible to measure let alone store or recreate.

A brain scan no matter how detailed is unlikely to provide the information necessary reproduce a mental state.
