Well I do that frequently, as you can tell by the post actually I forgot to clean that LLM response lol... But honestly I tried many LLMs, Claude is my go to choice, I tried creating projects and so on, but it's just like Apple Notes, I don't feel it scales or that later I can actually do something with that content, those apps are not ready for that, they are more generic, don't you think?

What does a pro-consumer Chrome actually look like? There are, AFAIK, 4 business models for browsers:

1. You pay for it in cash

2. It's "free" but you pay for it with your data which is harvested and used to target ads at you

3. The weird Brave crypto model which basically does what 2 does, but you get some token for it

4. The Firefox sell your search traffic to Google model

Number 1 gets completely blown out by 2 when they compete in the market to the point it doesn't exist anymore, so that's not really viable. 3 seems scammy and nobody really wants it anyway. 4 is what I use, but let's face it, it's just 2 light with better ad blocking. It's also probably on its last legs since the courts have ruled that Google can't buy default search (which ironically will probably enhance its monopoly position).

An eye for an eye makes the all world go blind. But, one eye for both eyes quickly renders the all bad actors of society blind and incapable of harming the law abiding citizens.

It’s not fancy around these parts to give the example of El Salvador, because most of us live in a very comfortable bubble and can pretend we support all these fancy thing of “reintegration and not punishment” but go ask what the people in El Salvador think about how their country got rid of criminal violence.

Systems that seek to reduce conflict and compensate victims did not historically make much use of imprisonment.

For a modern look at this, look at the xeer system of Somalia, where victims will almost always prefer payment/compensation over punishment.

Imprisonment is largely an invention of the state, as they push victims and inter-personal conflict aside, and rather use their tools to subordinate the citizen to the order of the state and then charge the victim taxpayers the cost of imprisonment and funnel the money into their buddies running and working the prisons.

Always has been, for those willing to pay for smart and unscrupulous people to manipulate the news. People must know this is what is happening but they are still seduced by the media. The brilliant Chicago press conference musical number comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBM82Ju2kJU and the source material there was essentially the same techniques working to making murderers sympathetic, in 1924.

At least in France he’ll serve a sentence- in the US we might have elected him again and let him make the charges go away.

It would be important to bear this in mind if it was true, but it's not.

I do sales meetings all day every day, and I've tried different AI note takers that send a summary of the meeting afterwards. I skim them when they get dumped into my CRM and they're almost always quite accurate. And I can verify it, because I was in the meeting.

They have also removed the web UI and stopped updating the documentation for the community edition. The former is not extremely serious as the community can easily replace it. The latter is arguably the worst among all the changes that we know of. While they do redirect community documentation towards its enterprise counterpart, it's becoming clear that the differences in the community edition won't be addressed at all. That will make MinIO community edition less viable over time.

Overall, it's pretty clear that they don't view the OSS users kindly or want them around. I'm pretty sure that they would drop the entire community edition if they could do so legally and without much fuzz. You can expect more like this in the future. So this story shouldn't be seen simply as the loss of a docker image.

That’s true, converting in either direction will typically allocate. Which it must, semantically.

One can use unsafe for a zero-copy conversion, but now you are breaking the semantics: a string becomes mutable, because its underlying bytes are mutable.

Or! One can often handle strings and bytes interchangeably with generics: https://github.com/clipperhouse/stringish

you're right at re-inventing "prismatic acrylic flat sheet replacement light cover" stuff.

https://www.fluorolite.com/buy-now/f12-100-2347flatsheet/

for a cheap test, put wax paper between two grids/grilles and see how it looks (ie: double-diffusion). ie: [ LED | <grid> | <wax paper> | <grid> | <wax paper> ]

...the first grid isolates the color, the first wax paper diffuses the LED, the second grid "receives" the isolated color (diffused, not spot/point) which then gets finally diffused for viewing.

Surely you can look up how to avoid bubbles on a semi-transparent resin pour.

Yea, actual "human-like" consciousness would be an ethical nightmare. Any sane company should not be legitimately pursuing this.

My most generous interpretation of Anthropic's flirting with it is they too think it would be a nightmare and are hyper-vigilant. (My more realistic interpretation is that it's just some mix of a Frankenstein complex and hype-boosting.)

I'm curious how many people have actually taken the time to compare AI summaries with sources they summarize. I did for a few and ... it was really bad. In my experience, they don't summarize at all, they do a random condensation.. not the same thing at all. In one instance I looked at the result was a key takeaway being the opposite of what it should have been. I don't trust them at all now.

It's fake work. You do some social restriction (usually on food) that follows upper middle-class aesthetics, the media cheers, and dinner parties are supportive. Even better if you specifically target it towards the poor*, or food that only poor people eat.

This, for example, is targeted towards chains. If every restaurant you eat at has fewer than 15 locations, it doesn't exist. Where do upper-middle class people eat?

-----

[*] like the fake work that RFK, Jr. is doing trying to make it impossible to buy soda and snack foods on SNAP. Only positive press he's gotten from NYT etc.. Yes, make those poor people eat better! But somehow also fat acceptance.

Let's assume the runtime representation case, as it's the most flexible. You'd need to do an assignability check to compare it to a typed number. Keep LHS as the interface, and RHS as the untyped constant.

That means following the type pointer of LHS, switching on its underlying type (with 15 valid possibilities [1]) or similar, and then casting either RHS to LHS's type, or LHS to the untyped representation, and finally doing the equality check. Something like this (modulo choice of representation and possible optimizations):

import ("math/big"; "reflect") type untypedInt struct { i *big.Int } func (x untypedInt) equals(y any) bool { val := reflect.ValueOf(y) if val.Type() == reflect.TypeOf(x) { return x.i.Cmp(val.Interface().(untypedInt).i) == 0 } else if val.CanInt() { if !x.i.IsInt64() { return false } return x.i.Int64() == val.Int() } else if val.CanUint() { if !x.i.IsUint64() { return false } return x.i.Uint64() == val.Uint() } else { var yf float64 if val.CanFloat() { yf = val.Float() } else if val.CanComplex() { yc := val.Complex() if imag(yc) != 0 { return false } yf = real(yc) } else { return false } xf, acc := x.i.Float64() if acc != big.Exact { return false } return xf == yf } }

[1]: Untyped integer constants can be compared with any of uint8..uint64, int8..int64, int, uint, uintptr, float32, float64, complex64, or complex128

Just tried this out and I’m loving it, especially the UI/UX. The welcome screen animations are great, they make the onboarding feel smooth and polished. I love that the navigation icons show labels when active, so you always know where you are.

The built-in tutorial on the Learn screen is a really nice touch, and the Library is genuinely useful (I’ll definitely be using it for scales and arpeggios).

Also, the Go Premium page is clean and the pricing feels refreshingly fair. Awesome stuff!

Two quick questions too:

– What did you use to build it? The UI/UX feels super slick, it’s fast and smooth on Android.

– What were your biggest hurdles during the build? Not just technically, but overall. For example, was it tricky learning enough music theory to validate the content, or was getting it live on the app stores as a solo dev the harder part?

Olipop might have pretty high distribution, I see them in normal supermarkets and places like Target and Costco now. I don't live in either of the places you mention.

However, Olipop has sugar alcohols as a sweetener, which give me gastrointestinal distress after only two cans. Soiling yourself is a good disincentive for drinking a lot of soda.

There are a few challenges with open-source projects that want to also be commercial entities.

One is obviously knowing what you can add-on that people will pay for; support, for one, but people want more features too. What could minio have built on top of their product to sell to people? Presumably some kind of S3-style tiered storage system, replication, a good UI, whatever else, I'm not sure.

The second is getting people to actually know that that's an issue. I work for Tigera which publishes the Calico CNI for Kubernetes, and one of the biggest issues we have is that people set up Calico on their clusters, configure it, and then just never think about it again. A testament to the quality of the product, I'm sure, but it makes it difficult to get people to even know we have a commercial offering, let alone what it is and does and why it might be beneficial.

I could see the same thing for Minio; even if they have a great OSS product, a great commercial offering on top of that, and great support, getting people to even be aware of it in the first place is going to be a huge challenge and getting people to pay for it is even harder.

It's sad that they went the completely wrong direction and started taking things away from the community to force people to the commercial side of things whether they're willing to pay or not.

I recall a friend of mine smoking cigarettes smuggled from Belarus back in 2006 costing 2,30PLN a pack, so less than €0,60 at the time.

Considering how light the product was, that translated to ~€20 per kilogram, with about 20% of this figure being the cost of third rate tobacco stuffed into those cigarettes.

The smell was distinctly foul, but he was happy with the bargain he got on them.

>>Oh I see, thanks for explaining, you are rejecting the underlying science

I certainly do no such thing.

>>What about the study do you not find convincing?

I do find it convincing, what I don't find convincing is OP's assertion that because they missed some time period in their daughter's life feeding her peanuts she developed a peanut allergy. It's not an "if X then Y" system - and the study does talk about it in terms of probabilities, not certainties.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Falls :

The river [...] is approximately 58 kilometres (36 mi) long and includes the Niagara Falls.

It is in fact too much to expect that an LLM get fine details correct because it is by design quite fuzzy and non-deterministic. It's like trying to paint the Mona Lisa with a paint roller.

It's just a misuse of the tools to present LLM's summaries to people without a _lot_ of caveats about it's accuracy. I don't think they belong _anywhere_ near a legitimate news source.

My primary point about calling out those mistakes is that those are the kinds of minor mistakes in a summary that I would find quite tolerable and expected in my own use of LLMs, but I know what I am getting into when I use them. Just chucking those LLM generated summaries next to search results is malpractice, though.

I think the primary point of friction in a lot of critiques between people who find LLMs useful and people who hate AI usage is this:

People who use AI to generate content for consumption by others are being quite irresponsible in how it is presented, and are using it to replace human work that it is totally unsuitable for. A news organization that is putting out AI generated articles and summaries should just close up shop. They're producing totally valueless work. If I wanted chatgpt to summarize something, I could ask it myself in 20 seconds.

People who use AI for _themselves_ are more aware of what they are getting into, know the provenance, and aren't presenting it for others as their own work necessarily. This is more valuable economically, because getting someone to summarize something for you as an individual is quite expensive and time consuming, and even if the end results is quite shoddy, it's often better than nothing. This also goes for generating dumb videos on Sora or whatever or AI generated music for yourself to listen to or send to a few friends.

Be careful with just clicking the big “decline” button. That skips past your opportunity to “object to legitimate interests”¹ in many cases.

[1] Here “legitimate interest” essentially means “we see your preference not to be stalked, but we want to so we are going to make it that bit more faf to opt out, because fuck you and the privacy we lie about caring about”.

MinIO is not actually open source, their source code is just public.

The company I work at spun up a MinIO instance, and we got hounded by MinIO lawyers claiming we had to pay because "hosting MinIO alters the source because of injecting configuration" and therefore violates their open source license.

There have been multiple hacker news threads about this:

That's different. Courts have ruled on AI training data as being fair use, but whether you can copyright AI-generated content is another issue.

It's pretty unclear to me where this stands right now. In the USA there are high profile examples of the US copyright office saying purely AI-generated artwork isn't protected by copyright: https://www.theverge.com/news/602096/copyright-office-says-a...

But there's clearly a level of human involvement at which that no longer applies. I'm just not sure if that level has been precisely defined.

I used perplexity for searches and I clicked on all sources that were given. Depending on the model used from 100% to 20% of the urls I tested did not exist. I kept on querying the LLM about it and it finally told me that it generated « the most probable » urls for the topic in question based on the ones he knows exists. Useless.

I had a similar problem with the VW Passat I had at the time - the drain hole from the battery compartment got blocked and when it rained it overflowed into the interior of the car - I was wondering for ages why there was this sloshing noise each time I went round a corner - the back of the car had about 1cm of water in it!

Had to get the dealer to remove all the seats and carpets and dry thing out.

The problem is that people are using it as a substitute for a web search, and the web search company has decided to kill off search as a product and pivot to video, err, I mean pivot to AI chatbots so hard they replaced one of the common ways to access emergency services on their mobile phones with an AI chatbot that can't help you in an emergency.

Not to mention, the AI companies have been extremely abusive to the rest of the internet so they are often blocked from accessing various web sites, so it's not like they're going to be able to access legitimate information anyways.

I'd rather have a simple coarse-grained mechanism than whatever feverdream that seccomp, selinux and apparmor are. A convoluted mess incorporating almost Turing complete languages that are just asking to shoot yourself in the foot a mile deep.

The simplicity of pledge is good enough for 99% of use-cases I'd wager AND easy to add to existing code.

YOLO and opencv really show how far we have come in the past decade.

I think one place that really needs work is hardware. Sensors are limited in frequency range, and refresh rate or resolution. And a big bottle neck for computer vision is that you need a large bandwidth provider if you are doing centralized processing of the feeds and not on edge processing.

No. `/dev/shm` would just be a build in `tmpfs`.

Though from what I gather form the story, part of the spedup comes from how android composes their build stages.

I.e. speeding up by not downloading everything only helps if you don't need everything you download. And adds up when you download multiple times.

I'm not sure they can actually provide a speedup in a tight developer cycle with a local git checkout and a good build system.

That commentary proves that the guy doesn't get it or is being a willfully obtuse hater. One of the big reasons people have been gravitating toward Omarchy is because they don't want to spend hours ricing or tweaking their desktop, they want to be getting shit done after a sub-15 minute install. And Omarchy does that very well. That's what omakase and "opinionated" mean.

From that link:

"It concludes that the outputs of generative AI can be protected by copyright only where a human author has determined sufficient expressive elements. This can include situations where a human-authored work is perceptible in an AI output, or a human makes creative arrangements or modifications of the output, but not the mere provision of prompts."

Anyone seen clarity anywhere on what that actually means, especially for things like code assistance?

They can't. The website may very well do the opposite of the preference DNT signals. Meanwhile, proving in a court of law that the tracking still happens will be hard.

Services should be denied the capacity to track and fingerprint, not just told about a preference against it.

DNT will always be an "evil bit", regardless of any law behind it.

A bucket of 30 questions is not a statistically significant sample size which we can use to support the hypothesis which goes to say that all AI assistants they tested are 45% of the time wrong. That's not how science works.

Neither is my bucket of 30 questions statistcally significant but it goes to say that I can disprove their hypothesis just by giving them my sample.

I think that the report is being disingenious and I don't understand for what reasons. it's funny that they say "misrepresent" when that's exactly what they are doing.

>>Which part sounds insane?

The "my child developed a peanut allergy because I didn't feed her peanuts, so I recommend feeding your child peanuts every day to increase exposure" part.

Not that the science behind it doesn't support the fact that exposure reduces a chance of developing an allergy - but to go from there to "feed your child peanuts every day" is the insane part.

>>Living with a deadly allergy for the rest of one's life is no fun at all.

You are making an emotional argument where one doesn't need to be made - we all understand that deadly allergies are no joke.

Maybe what bothers people so much is more of the fact that when Heroku first came out, it was much harder to do what that platform does. In the past 20 years or so, there has been a ton of improvement in the tools available. What could’ve taken you three full-time employees can probably be done with 20% of someone’s time after the initial set up which also isn’t that hard. So, it seems like instead of charging like 50X the cost of the servers themselves, maybe Heroku could be charging 10X. But it seems like salesforce probably just bought Heroku as a cash-generating machine. They probably figure they have a lot more to lose in cutting the bills of their old customers who don’t want to migrate anything, then they could gain from attracting new customers who aren’t already locked in.

Honestly, reading these threads it sounds to me like a lot of people are still launching new projects on Heroku. I wouldn’t have guessed that was true before reading this.

Like many people seeking to grow their finances, I was drawn into what seemed to be a promising online investment platform that claimed to specialize in crypto trading and high-return opportunities. Everything appeared legitimate at first — the website was professional, the agents were convincing, and I even saw what looked like genuine profit reports. Trusting the process, I gradually invested a total of $1,000,000, believing I was building a secure future. But things took a devastating turn when I tried to withdraw my funds. The platform became unresponsive, and soon, all communication was cut off. My entire investment vanished before my eyes. It was one of the darkest moments of my life. That’s when I came across FIXER WALLET RETRIEVAL. From the first conversation, they demonstrated deep knowledge of online scams and blockchain tracing. Their investigators quickly analyzed the transactions, identified where the funds were routed, and began recovery procedures. Through consistent updates and tireless work, they managed to retrieve the entire $1,000,000 that I had thought was lost forever. I am beyond grateful for their professionalism, patience, and genuine commitment to helping victims like me. FIXER WALLET RETRIEVAL gave me back not just my money, but my peace of mind. I highly recommend them to anyone who has been scammed online. Contact Information:
