Is there something similar for the editors instead of the articles of Wikipedia? I am sure it'd be interesting to see if one can identify communities.


> You need three things. You need to be good at some kind of technology, you need an idea for what you're going to build, and you need cofounders to start the company with.

So no word about funding from the CIA and NSA. If you want to build something that changes the world in such a profound way as Google did, you can not possibly expect the powerful not having a word with you. I am inclined to believe that these days you will need influential "friends" with aligned interests at some point.


Today I had a look at my Pi-hole block lists. When I wanted to check the GitHub page of the linked list I was greeted by big red warning telling me that this site want's me to install malicious software.

Turns out this specific GitHub repository is flagged as malicious by Google Safe Browsing [1]. And now I am left wondering if that's intentional or a false positive. Even more confusing, reloading [1] sometimes changes the result to "No available data".

I wonder if it's actually being updated quickly. I think it'd be much easier to train it to use google's search index as a tool in a way hidden from the user. For example regarding the shutdown date of itself it might have googled "google bard shutdown" to find and misunderstand the HN comment cited in the twitter thread.


Seems like it would be trivial to replace "As an AI language model who hasn't been updated since x date" with "$ESCAPE_SEQUENCE search_query: $TERM" and rerun the question with the hidden prefix "Given that the google results for $TERM are $RESULTS"...


Creator here: The last time I did measurements for the latency of mirroring the screen I got about 60ms (over WIFI). The Gif is from way back before I did any optimizations at all.


Thanks for commenting.

Respectful suggestion that you have no obligation to follow up on, but it might be a good idea to replace that gif with a more recent capture, or even to just remove it? I ran into your project a while ago, before it got featured on here, and that specific gif is the sole reason I never looked into it any further; my immediate reaction was just, "oh, never mind, it looks like the latency is too high to be useful."

Seeing your comment here is actually a happy surprise since I remember thinking at the time that it would be a really cool project if only the latency was even just a bit better :)

60ms is still probably too high for most drawing (of course to be fair, WIFI I'm sure is a big part of that), but it's usable enough that I don't think I would have dismissed the project outright if I had known that the gif wasn't representative.

Either way though, cool project, and I appreciate the clarification.


Thanks for the reply! Good to hear, thanks!


> Nearly all of it ends up in the lymph nodes near your armpit

Not sure how the situation is in other countries but in Germany they started recommending aspiration (used to make sure no blood vessel is hit) a few months ago due to concerns of the mRNA getting into your blood stream and causing adverse effects like that.


From my understanding, you want it in the lymph system (hence muscular injection). It is believed that issues like myocarditis are where the injection might hit a vein.


In the paper it says:

> Our behavioral study showed that administration of SARS‑CoV‑2 spike protein S1 subunit (S1 protein) to mouse hippocampus induced cognitive deficit and anxiety‑like behavior in vivo.

About the BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA vaccine Wikipedia says:

> It is composed of nucleoside-modified mRNA (modRNA) encoding a mutated form of the full-length spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, which is encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. [1]

So it seems it's at least the other way around. To me it doesn't sound too far fetched to consider that vaccines might have similar effects. But I am not a doctor either so this is just speculation.

Thank you.

I wouldn't be putting up this stink if I wasn't sure this applied to me somehow. The headaches were shit to put up with, the mental fog I was able to deal with and get rid of, but the anxiety just did not fucking quit.

Not till I started using omega 3. I really want this looked into if possible.


> Azov Special Operations Detachment, often known as Azov Detachment, Azov Regiment, or Azov Battalion (until September 2014), is a right-wing extremist and neo-Nazi unit of the National Guard of Ukraine, based in Mariupol, in the Azov Sea coastal region.

> According to The Daily Telegraph, the Azov Battalion's extremist politics and professional English social media pages have attracted foreign fighters, including people from Brazil, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Greece, Scandinavia, Spain, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Russia.

> A 16 July 2014 report placed the Azov Battalion's strength at 300. An earlier report stated that on June 23 almost 600 volunteers, including women, took oaths to join the "Donbass" and "Azov" battalions. The unit included 900 volunteers as of March 2015.

> Reports published by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) have connected the Azov Battalion to war crimes such as mass looting, unlawful detention, and torture.

That does sound nasty. I wonder how many members they have had at the start of Russia's invasion. The reports about the battalion's strength on Wikipedia are rather old.


This was probably meant to link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion and not the Main Page of Wikipedia.


Given current times, I would recommend checking history and diffing with earlier versions in case latest changes mysteriously give it an angle favorable to e.g. the aggressor, just in case. (From a quick glance I have not immediately noticed strong evidence of manipulation, but did not carefully check.)


I submitted a permalink to the current revision

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Azov_Battalion&ol...

It seems HN transforms these to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Sorry, there was a bug in our software that was dropping query strings from wikipedia.org URLs. I've fixed that now. Thanks!

Links to older versions of Wikipedia pages will run into a different problem, though—our software replaces URLs with canonical URLs when it finds them, and it looks like older-version Wikipedia pages point to their current-version equivalent as the canonical URL.

Edit: that latter issue should be fixed now too.


Is this going to accomplish anything? I fear sending in more weapons will just lead to more deaths, I do not think there is any way for Ukraine to win this.


idk, it looks like they're holding their own. If enough Russian troops die, what do you think is the most likely outcome? Is freedom worth dying for? Is denying others their freedom worth dying for?
