> removed "Don't be Evil" as its motto and from its code of conduct

It's still in the code of conduct

And it still doesn't mean a damn thing.

> While ICE “requested” that Google not notify Thomas Johnson, the request was not enforceable or mandated by a court

Sounds like Google stopped caring.

But... Why on earth do the people filing an administrative subpoena not have to notify the interested parties too? Why is it Google's responsibility? If they didn't tell you, would you ever find out?

> But... Why on earth do the people filing an administrative subpoena not have to notify the interested parties too?

Generally they do - with some notable exceptions being if you're a non-citizen and you're no longer in the US, and it's either a criminal investigation or related to intelligence or national security.

Which is the case here:

> In September 2024, Amandla Thomas-Johnson was a Ph.D. candidate studying in the U.S. on a student visa when he briefly attended a pro-Palestinian protest.

> Weeks later, in Geneva, Switzerland

It is obviously not criminal, but I guess that you don't need much to qualify something as related to intelligence and national security, attending a pro-Palestinian protest may be enough.

On a scale of 1-10, Yeah, I'd give them a 1-2 for notifying him after the fact.

The problem is they tell user that they'll inform you right away and give them a chance to challenge the subpoena.

A quick search shows that they've done in the past and people have been able to get the subpoena's withdrawn.

Google's lawyer responded by claiming they do follow that policy normally except when their lawyers nearly miss the "artificial deadline set by the government" and sometimes send it out same day.

I'm curious if this was a common issue or Google's legal team was flooded with subpoenas during the first months of the administration during their deportation surge (they did around 100k removals around that time). Homeland sent the request to Google a month prior to when they released the data and notified him, so they had time to notify, but it clearly isn't an automated thing.

You give Google credit for holding someone's head above the icy lake after they pushed them into lake themselves at the request of the piranhas.

> Then, unprompted, Altman offers up a kind of shocking timeline for the groundbreaking feature of counting: “Maybe another year before something like that works well.” Per Altman, ChatGPT’s voice model doesn’t have the capability of starting a timer or keeping track of time. “But we will add the intelligence into the voice models,” he said.

I cant wait till chatgpt sets me 14 minute timers when I request a 40 minute timer, just another year!

I started writing “why would you want that?”, thinking about Alexa users…

Then I remembered scripting existed ^_^

Works fine here?

Here it just works to the left or right, tried multiple distributions Fedora, Arch, CashyOS, NixOS, no way. Perhaps an issue with NVIDIA drivers, running a 5090 here.

If it was it wouldn't be Python. It can never be pure because __getattr__ is just another method that anyone can overwrite.

When did Blackwell start shipping in volume? A H200 is still > $30,000.

I'd settle for some free 80GB A100 cards! ($7,000 2nd hand on ebay right now)

Impossible to code inspect and verify. Someone else commented 'smells like a supply chain attack' and while I'm sure it's not intended to be, there is no way to verify. And who believes, in half a million lines of code, no bugs have been introduced?

Thanks.

Brave to link to that here.

It just wears thin after a while. Nobody studies Feynman to learn social skills or sexual ethics. If they did, these types of complaints would certainly be relevant... but they don't, and they aren't.

People also don’t think he’s one of the greatest physicists ever.

As he said, he was just an ordinary person who worked very hard.

Everyone thinks they are ordinary. If you have 160 IQ that just feels ordinary. You can only really measure ordinary in terms of achievement.

The 100 IQ person that works that hard doesn't invent that much physics. They might get rich, change the world etc.

Well, the Nobel committee certainly seemed to disagree with you.

I guess you didn’t watch the video so you don’t understand the point I’m trying to address.

At any rate, this garbage doesn’t belong on HN.

Can you elaborate on that point? I didn't downvote you, but I'm also not going to watch a 3-hour #metoo video about a guy from my grandfather's era in order to understand what you mean.

What's next... is she going to tell me that Newton was a real asshole? Noooooo, say it isn't so.

It’s discussed in the first few minutes. That’s basically all I watched. One of the first points she tries to make is that people claim that Feynman is one of the top physicists of all time, comparable to Einstein and Newton. She tries to set us straight.

Anyway, I’m a big Feynman fan. My Discord handle is feynman1918.
