fxd123··on Hacker News Activity Analysis with GPT-4 Agent
What information would this send to the third-party (you and/or OpenAI)? I assume from this demo at the very minimum the database structure? Does the post processing after the LLM response run on the customers' servers?
fxd123··on Ad Company Claims 'It's True. Your Devices Are Listening to You'
The operating system shows when the microphone is turned on.
fxd123··on Ad Company Claims 'It's True. Your Devices Are Listening to You'
(1) I already talk about plenty without getting targeted ads

(2) Android is open source and I'm familiar with the core codebase as part of my job

(3) Even if I get an ad after talking about a product, that isn't proof (hence my confirmation bias comment...)

fxd123··on Ad Company Claims 'It's True. Your Devices Are Listening to You'
Classic confirmation bias.
fxd123··on Moore vs. United States: Tax Unrealized Income Case
That's not a bad thing
fxd123··on Moore vs. United States: Tax Unrealized Income Case
The point was we don't need to invent new taxes
fxd123··on Moore vs. United States: Tax Unrealized Income Case
No
fxd123··on Moore vs. United States: Tax Unrealized Income Case
Wealth is explicitly not income, so I don't know how any person would interpret a wealth tax being constitutional.
fxd123··on Moore vs. United States: Tax Unrealized Income Case
> What the Tax Foundation isn't saying: plaintiffs want the supreme court to preemptively strike down the possiblity of a federal wealth tax.

You are talking about this like it's a bad thing. It absolutely should be struck down, and I don't really care what case ends up striking it down

fxd123··on Moore vs. United States: Tax Unrealized Income Case
And yet, countries without unrealized gains taxes still have courts, police, and military.
fxd123··on Moore vs. United States: Tax Unrealized Income Case
Collateral is explicitly not tangible and usable. The whole point of collateral is that the unrealized gains are held in a illiquid limbo
fxd123··on The pro-Israel information war
Yes, as long as they can avoid shooting rockets at their neighbors. Which is sadly not the case right now
fxd123··on The pro-Israel information war
I didn't ask where you live, but ok?

> Can you imagine that all it took for her to lose her job was "“Freedom for Palestine”.

Which she said after Israel was a victim of a terrorist attack. Quite tone deaf, no?

fxd123··on The pro-Israel information war
As I already said in another comment:

> It's almost as if Israel has defensive technology (Iron Dome) to protect their citizens from Palestine's rocket attacks that target civilian areas (which is a war crime)

fxd123··on The pro-Israel information war
> People don't want a reciprocal death count from Israel

Unfortunately, many people in this thread do want that

> they want them to resist escalation

I want Hamas to resist escalation too. Why has Hamas broken every ceasefire in history? Why does Hamas continue to fire rockets at civilian areas?

fxd123··on The pro-Israel information war
Is there a reason why you created an account specifically for this comment thread?

fxd123··on The pro-Israel information war
It's almost as if Israel has defensive technology (Iron Dome) to protect their citizens from Palestine's rocket attacks that target civilian areas (which is a war crime)

> which also included a denunciation of the “Zionist ideology which promotes an exclusivist state,”

That's an interesting claim, since Israel is definitely not a exclusivist state. Yet again, 'anti-zionism' seems to be used as a dog whistle for anti-semitism

This article is pretty bad, it screams the typical "jews run the media" trope

The authors also collaborated on an article called 'Moderna is spying on you'. So they are anti-vax conspiracy theorists as well? Yikes

fxd123··on U.N. votes to end US embargo on Cuba; US and Israel oppose
The security council does have binding resolutions.
fxd123··on U.N. votes to end US embargo on Cuba; US and Israel oppose
Title makes it seem like the U.N. can dictate this. It's a non-binding resolution.
fxd123··on The Lessons of Lucasfilm's Habitat (1990)
"Universal Acclaim" being a phrase metacritic associates with a 8.5 score- from a whopping 509 reviews. Not very universal
fxd123··on Sam Bankman-Fried doesn't recall
> but I wish

> I do not care

Stop trying to make the author's article about yourself

fxd123··on The Lessons of Lucasfilm's Habitat (1990)
You are welcome to share your own opinion, but don't say things like "generally considered" when it's just not true...
fxd123··on The Lessons of Lucasfilm's Habitat (1990)
I enjoyed it but "best written shows of the 2010s" is an exaggeration
fxd123··on Tesla sued for severe harassment of black workers at California plant
> Civil trials cost you money, so obviously the standard is lower

... ... ...

fxd123··on Tesla sued for severe harassment of black workers at California plant
And the preponderance standard for civil cases is "over 50% likelihood". That's not very strong.
fxd123··on IRS consultant charged with disclosing tax return info to news organizations
...what?
fxd123··on America does not have a good food culture
> agreed the French cuisine is the best of them both

OK, but that's not what the article is about. The writer is talking about "good food culture", not "good food"
