To add, McDonalds is required to list calories and nutritional information. There are various agencies and regulations guarding us from them selling us rat meat instead of cow. Education on “junk food” is widespread and has (had…) widespread government education programs.

There is a great deal of information given to parents on what is in McDonalds.

I would say that most parents, not those on a tech site, have no idea how tiktok works, what studies have shown about it or its dangers.

I agree, there's plenty of information out there and nutrition is often taught in schools.

Additionally, other content like TV and movies has content ratings, social media does not have anything of the sort.

No it means it’s illegal and enforcement agencies don’t have the means and/or political support to prosecute.

But the thing is people aren’t having “their say”. Social media companies are amplifying voices and viewpoints. They are not acting as “common carriers” letting quality sift to the top. It is curated and crafted.

Now they're thumbing down the scale for censorship.

“Letting quality sift to the top” implies that there is a way for this to happen without curation.

Pure user vote driven things like Reddit are a failure (echo chambers, emotional appeals, bot rings, etc). So I’m curious what you think would let that happen?

Even HN is heavily moderated to maintain topics.

conception · 2026-01-27T21:51:27 1769550687

Moderation is not amplification.

kortilla · 2026-01-28T17:37:17 1769621837

What do you call the moderators reposting stories they think would be good on the front page to “give them another chance”?

K2 is one of the only models to nail the clock face test as well. It’s a great model.

michaelcampbell · 2026-01-28T20:42:48 1769632968

It's better than most, but not 100%. As I see this the clock hands are all correct, but the numbers only go 1-8.

culi · 2026-01-27T20:10:06 1769544606

Kimi 2 is remarkably consistently the best. I wonder if it's somehow been trained specifically on tasks like these. It seems too consistent to be coincidence

Also shocking is how the most common runner up I've seen is DeepSeek

DJBunnies · 2026-01-27T14:30:10 1769524210

Cool comparison, but none of them get both the face and the time correct when I look at it.

conception · 2026-01-27T19:48:59 1769543339

Refresh. It’s not every time but k2 hits a perfect clock for me about 7/10 or so.

If you think they are bad ideas, your presumptions of their goals may be incorrect. Bad meaning not furthering their goals that is.

The services control panel just as badly designed as it was 30 years ago.

Or buy an IOT LTSC license to have an officially debloated version.

Telaneo · 2026-01-26T23:38:10 1769470690

Or don't buy a licence and use it anyway.

Krssst · 2026-01-26T23:03:32 1769468612

How? It's only available to companies.

There are sites that will happily sell you keys, though I don’t feel qualified to comment on their legitimacy.

You could also sail the seven seas and run an AutoKMS script, though that might (and probably will) include some malware.

If your options include paying for piracy or pirating for free, always pirate for free.

I don’t know rust but I use it with llms a lot as unlike python, it has fewer ways to do things, along with all the built in checks to build.

I think not having time to organize is different from not seeing the value. Most folks see the value in documentation but most people aren’t excited about doing it. AI agents are masters of busy work. Life has a lot of it.

Paper says non-violent is ~50/50 vs one in four for violent. So not a sure thing.

erxam · 2026-01-25T22:40:30 1769380830

The problem is defining 'non-violent'. Is it just showing up to a protest from 5pm to 6pm with a sign? Is it a general strike that will undoubtedly harm the economy? Is it demonstrating that you could respond to violence effectively and daring them to up the scales?

stevenwoo · 2026-01-25T22:32:48 1769380368

So there were 323 events investigated but there's some criteria that should be taken into account for violent resistances that is not - for instance zero of the resistances to the Nazi occupations during World War 2 succeeded by their definition, and off the top of my head only the Yugoslavian resistance really put up a substantial dent in the occupation and still required the Soviet army invasion to kick the Nazis out.
