I think OpenAI tried to be Open, but then ran into two problems:

First, turns out that neural nets get better when you throw more compute at them. OpenAI was full of researchers looking to push the state of the art, and the state of the art became less and less accessible to the average person, who could not afford the supercomputers necessary to train GPT-3. "Democratizing deep learning" became less important as a goal, since it conflicted with the true priority internally: improving the state of the art in deep learning.

Second, it looks like they lost the interest of their initial funders. The execs were left with a big money hole in their budget, and had to go looking for some way to fill it. Bingo bango bongo, and now they are a for-profit looking for income streams.

I don't feel critical of them. It's very hard to do something both altruistic and expensive. Money doesn't just flow to those looking to do good in the world.
Low intensity, high volume works so well in so many arenas. As a former guitar teacher this is what I would recommend to students, especially the younger kids:

- pick the same time everyday.

- just start by playing for 5-10 minutes. Don't do any more.

- As the weeks progress and the habit is solid, add 5-7 more minutes.

So kid who plays 8min/day x 7 days/ week gets an hour each week, as opposed to the kid who does 25 minutes once or twice and gets bored. Then, when the kids habits are up to 25 minutes a day, they are getting 3 hours a week.
Great point. If erickshaw drivers steal the battery, we can remotely lock the battery. So these batteries will not charge or discharge and will essentially become useless. We also take documents (similar to social security in the us) from each customer before we onboard them.
But most were short lived. The lifespan of cars has been getting longer and pointing to the exception that bucked the trend is literally survivorship bias.
That is not a good comparison. The extra hashes would help China find out about more borderline citizens than it otherwise would have.
Kind of reminds me of Business Software Alliance's disgruntled employee program : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSA_(The_Software_Alliance)#Cr...

The only difference being that the BSA's program is legal because it benefits huge multinationals.
> " One of the very first PaaS offerings in history actually belonged to Canon ... until it was abruptly killed by Canon itself"

There are dozens of examples of people being first to market and not winning (Canon). As so, what's so interesting about this article?

- Facebook won, when MySpace and others were first to market

- Google won, and it was crazy late to market over Yahoo/Altavista/Excite.

- Starbucks won, when plenty of other national coffee chains existed

etc
It’s akin to how, as an emir, you get a phone that is not set up to spy on you by your enemies:

- Do you hire someone to give you a secure phone? But then, there’s only one link to subvert…

- Do you hire a security company to build a custom phone for you? But then, there are 10 engineers to trust and all the open-source dependencies they have,

- Do you purchase a standard iPhone by going to a warehouse and choosing the box yourself, because they can’t bug the whole pallet?
I find it amusing that "weed" is on the same tier of drugs as Heroin, LSD, MDMA and it is an entire class above Cocaine, fentanyl, oxycodone [1].

Schedule I drugs

— High abuse potential.

— There is no accepted use for these drugs in medical practice.

— They cannot be prescribed.

— Drugs include heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), and mescaline.

Schedule II drugs — High potential for abuse and dependence.

— Generally require non-refillable, written prescription.

— Drugs include morphine , codeine , methadone , oxycodone , hydromorphone , meperidine , fentanyl , cocaine...

I've been researching micro-homes, alternative housing, etc. Mostly for affordability but also to be environmentally friendly.

There are these earthship houses in New Mexico that are amazing. They stay 62-72 degrees year round. They have orange and banana trees in the atrium. They reuse all water, the water that goes down the sink/bathtub is used in the greenhouse/entry/atrium, then it goes to the toilet, then it goes outside to a kinda marshland or wetland area where they have all kinds of greenery or maybe vine-grown vegetables and fruits (don't want black water on root veggies).

Why Did Weyl Think That Emmy Noether Made Algebra the Eldorado of Axiomatics?

I'm not the original poster, but I have bad hearing and exclusively read transcripts over listening to podcasts - can't tell you how many times I've been grateful when podcasters provide even a partial list of transcripts for episodes. Speed-reading is also a lot faster overall versus simple listening.
Cannabis was considered an essential industry in Oregon during the pandemic. They, along with state run alcohol stores, were exempt from shutdowns. Recreational drugs are essential here. Most states that have legalized it also have a component for relief on past non-violent crimes, although true, doesn't affect the federal level crimes (which they hardly prosecute anymore since legalization - you have to be very egregious).

When Oregon first started its recreational program in 2016, they collected about $20M in taxes [1]. In 2020, it was $133M. Other states are similar. It has a lot to do with $$$, it always does. Politicians sell ideas using emotions, but we have to dig deeper.

Because they don't know who to arrest yet. The idea isn't to fabricate a charge, it's to locate people sharing politically sensitive images that the government hasn't already identified.

This is a similar sentiment to many people who originally posted valuable information to Wikipedia, which later was deleted.
What about historical people? Or historical actions? Science? Just because it is not a modern science fact, and is not always citable, doesn't mean it didn't happen. For example anecdotal science history, which can be fascinating.
I hate to sound like an old guy, but in the old days, the whole point of Wikipedia was that we could learn things beyond Britannica and company. Ideas and history from all corners of the planet, painstakingly recorded by someone who took the time to write on a topic they had unique knowledge.
Maybe we need a dual track Wikipedia -
One moderated by the present wiki system, and the other, moderated by the public, as originally. I think the amount of people scamming the world is 1000's of times less than those who want to improve it. It's a shame to lose their knowledge and voice.
I mean it automates a lot of the work i don't want to do. Being able to write a unit test just by describing it is fantastic.

Has anyone considered redesigning the car to not need these particular chips?

Do a massive push to target a different chip or even a FPGA. There must be something out there to run the software.
Yes, it's fair, I do assume that chip supply/demand isn't subject to the forces of roving gangs of looters :)
then coca cola and energy drinks like monster/red bull should be for 21 too?
Disgruntled employees are not just the engineers, there's a lot more people waiting in line to take revenge against management ;)
> She is notable now for having won a Nobel Prize

That's not right. The Nobel Prize didn't bequeath notability to her, it recognized the notability she already earned for herself.
Certainly, mornings are generally very productive, you get a certain amount of productive time in the morning which is very valuable in my experience. The issue is, for me at least after about 2-3 hours of good real creative work I'm done, there's nothing left in the tank.

No amount of routine or pomodoro or any other system has overcome this, my brain simply feels wrung dry of any more creative ability.
The frog just sits around in the pot, but we turn the majority of our society into boiling pots; when the frog decides it's too warm after all and jumps out, we have nowhere to go.
Speaking as someone who just upgraded from an early 2014 MBA 11" to a Air with the M1 chip, while the old machine always felt adequate to my uses, having used the M1 for a while now, I could never ever go back.

Programs start much faster, quit much faster, web pages load much, much, much faster. Compiling is anywhere from 4x to 10x faster, as is interpreter startup time for scripts.

Now, granted, it's a jump from one architecture to another and a time span of 7 years, but this upgrade felt magical the way the mid-90s hardware upgrades felt.
And it's fine to treat everyone as a potential criminal when we entrust our data on the same company's servers? No matter if on-device scanning makes surveillance easier than ever, the surveillance itself was still a significant possibility up to this point with server-side scanning. Imagine how many petabytes of user data already exist in the cloud.
On a side note, too bad the frog story is false.
Do you not think that municipalities will still find a way to collect that? Remember the fight over state sales tax w/internet purchases a few years ago?
Do you have a source on $40-60B for wage theft, that includes a definition of wage theft? Searching does not yield much.

The sub-headline is more interesting:

A single tiny SD card can store 1TB, so I fail to see how anyone who is in the business to abuse people's data for profit would be troubled.

Sure, they can't download the entire database, but a 10 - 100 TB sample of that would fit on a normal desktop and enable anyone to commit massive identity theft and credit card fraud.
Putting any burnt solids in your lungs is almost certainly bad. However, this bill isn't about smoking, it's about possession and commercialization.
That is not how this works. Please read up on the functioning of the system before chiming in with such certainty on its behavior.

The only thing they will have gained access to are the “derivatives” (presumably lower res versions) of the matched photos, which if this is done to frame you is strictly the fake CSAM.
If you had the drivers, Windows XP-64 was fantastic. A (ahem) workstation twist to Server 2003, which was better than XP and updated version of Windows 2000. I really miss the ISO tweaking tools that were common in the 2000/Win7 days.
No vendors are snooping your phone/computer browser cache, so this attack vector does not yet exist. Apple is building it.
"changed my memory" what do you mean by this?
The Republicans literally turn their backs on Republican policy positions once the Democrats are for it. The ACA started life in 1994 as Newt Gingrich and the Heritage Foundation's HEART Act, including the individual mandate. It then became the crown jewel of Mitt Romney's healthcare reform in MA, with it planned for being pushed as a federal rollout before Obama beat him to the punch and took the wind out of his sails wrt potential election promises.

I personally think the ACA is an awful bill, but I'm pretty alone among Democrats with that opinion.
I think that you overestimate the EU reaction. Every few years we learn that our Europeans leaders and some citizens have been again spied by foreign powers, such as the US, and absolutely nothing ever happened.

At the weed shop I've gone to a couple times, the people there said over half their customers are buying edibles. Most people don't want to inhale smoke, not just because of the health concerns, but because of the lingering smell.

I smoked it once, and I hated the taste. It left a lingering taste in the back of my throat.
Seems like a pretty bad proposition. Take all the legal risk for only 40% of the profit.
Did you notice that you deny that Republicans are obstructionist but don't extend the same good faith to Democrats?

Going so far as to hypothesize bad faith in the proposing of a bill like this to make the Republicans look bad.
As I mentioned, it is (by definition) impossible for the cloud to have access to something that does not exist in the cloud - only the content that is explicitly uploaded/shared by the user can be scanned.

While local, on-device content access has no such guarantees - it's a question of policy rather than technical infeasibility.

And policies change.

> They are scanning files that are being uploaded. So, yes.

Even considering the situation as it is today, the cloud providers (as well as Apple) are scanning just the files that are being uploaded. So I'm still not sure how one is "total invasion of privacy" and the other "preserving privacy".
What language is that? The only abbreviation I've ever seen is USD (the three non-romance languages I speak a little of use a variation on "dollar" which, by context, is always clearly USD.)
> they can’t bug the whole pallet?

Who gets to push updates to your phone? Isn't that a fundamental property of most phones (yes even "dumb" phones) to be controllable remotely? Whether through (unisolated) modem firmware, or via the system's service such as Google Play Services?

So i'd say all in all it's not just that pallet that's bug, but the entire production line ;)
That was to make it less likely the mob could raise the barricades and also to provide a nice field of fire for cannons.
Or it's one more tick on the balance sheet of crypto ills outweighing crypto benefits, and one more step towards heavy-handed laws prosecuting the use of crypto.
I'm surprised this is just hitting HN now since it happened last month.

But I look forward to being able to use credit cards with services like Sava. The last time I used a delivery service they could take cash or sketchy apps which link to your debit card.
Maybe it's being downvoted because it is simply wrong?

If tomorrow all ants disappear then most land-oriented ecosystems would just collapse.

We humans are having so egoistically anthropocentrical world views that it's not even funny anymore.
Do you actually think 50% of the population couldn't get a college degree even if it was free or do you think half both desire to vote but couldn't be bothered to attend to such trivial details as who their senators are?

Only about 15% have an IQ less than 90. 85% could absolutely get a degree and pay minimal attention. Will they all? No and if only 50% of the population bothers that would in that case be on them. They would in that scenario be throwing away their own rights by declining to participate. Spending A 4 year cycle reading your facebook feed and voting for the guy you saw in between the beer commercial and the game last night isn't participation.
>Also, the dose makes the poison, and don't we try to wash off most of what we spray on crops?

You absolutely SHOULD wash everything before you put it in your body, but there are a lot of chemicals that plants can/do absorb that can't be washed off.

Example: RoundUp

RoundUp sprayed onto a field will cause the plants to dry out.
Intended purpose: Spray this on the weeds to kill them.
Unintended usage: Is your wheat/corn/soybeans still wet because it's raining during harvest? Douse the field in Roundup, and the crop will dry out while still covered in water.

You end up ingesting it, because it's INSIDE the corn/wheat/soybeans. BUT it doesn't end there, think about the thousands of products that the corn/soybeans/wheat gets processed into.

You can't wash a loaf of bread.
Have we established that a US NGO is accepting "CSAM" hashes from China or that they are cooperating with them at all? That seems unlikely and Apple hasn't yet announced plans with how they're going to scan phones in China, I mean wouldn't China just demand outright to have full scanning capabilities of anything on the phone since you don't have any protection at all from that in China?
In most jurisdictions, doctors are in fact free to refuse treatment for a variety of reasons. Not any reason, of course. One cannot discriminate. A current patient requiring urgent or life-saving care generally means you can't just dump them.

But something like a fundamental mismatch in philosophy regarding medicine? Maybe the patient is just rude and irritating? Patient never, ever follows advice so the doc is not sure why they're wasting their time? A doctor can fire a patient for that in many places. They can also simply just move or retire, of course.
Well gee... there should be a passport depository box for workers who go to a foreign country to work but are robbed of their passports and forced into slave labor.
There is quite a number of extant peoples who evince me otherwise. Mondragon corporation and Linux Foundation both serve as evidence against your position as well. You most probably don't have an example of a functioning society because you've misconstrued your definition of society to be exclusive to the design of states. But the stateless form of man is that of small networks of aligned people, and therein lies the check and balance. And I'd postulate given the wide proliferation of knowledge, the high literacy rate, the level of interdependence and so on of the modern era, that people are more able than ever to self-organize in a positive and stateless life to produce a far more egalitarian landscape and one with a greater deal of optionality to the participants therein.

And if I'm being frank, what I see peering over the modern landscape is that the state is little more than a puppet for corporate interests, protecting malefactors from retribution while allowing them in turn to exploit the trust of people that the system isn't stacked. More or less it's a dissolution of the rule of law that consolidates power into the state through that means, and producing what is more or less a completely unruly class which is allowed at length to exploit everyone.

I suppose you're arguing the Hegelian perspective, but I assert the apex of man or the geist, is precisely that which is described in anarchist utopian literature. It's also corroborated inexplicitly by Popper in "The Open Society and Its Enemies" towards the end. Failing to assert position that leads us to continued systems of oppression and a constancy of ennui within the zeitgeist, and a zeitgeist itself which is quite probably unhealthy as it inherits inertia and in being resistant to change it is constantly misdirected which we see everywhere constantly.

Some people don't realize the 286 came out in 1982, 386 in 1985, and 486 in 1989.

The 386 was still being used up until Window 95 came out. It could run on a 4MB 386 but anyone who did probably quickly upgraded to at the very least a 486/66, which still struggled even with 8MB. You really needed a Pentium, or a 100MHz 486 clone.
Thanks @mryalamanchi!

We look forward to seeing you in the platform!
I'm just saying what I'm observing. Maybe my observation is incorrect, but that's how it seems to me at the moment.
That explains the "birthday paradox" part, what I'm unclear on is the need for a "collision search algorithm" that isn't just "build a hashmap" which should take roughly O(N) time. (I suppose it could just be that, but I'm surprised it's even mentioned in that case. In my uncle(?) comment I wrote an 8 line Python implementation that runs in 3 seconds on my laptop.)
For front ends? Use native HTML, CSS, and targeted Javascript, using its native DOM API.
This would be a great plot for a Bond film. I think Daniel Radcliffe would make for an interesting casting choice for Musk.

Also I found that setting up your environment such that the path of least resistance is towards your ritual helps.

For example, already having the book you’ve been meaning to read placed on your empty desk helps you finally get started on reading that book.
No in the same sense as how an amputee cannot simply grow a new set of legs. Not with today's knowledge.
So you're not actually parsing CSV and your comment was off-topic. Thank you for the clarification.

Portable phones and audiobooks are great for getting things like that done.
(Just not mathematical calculations or analyzing scientific theory.)
You guys are helping Apple not to fuckup their implementation by finding bugs. It would be great if these collision posts happened after they fully rolled out the update.
Got it ... Here's the part I was missing:

> You will need 4 files from a recent macOS or iOS build:

neuralhash_128x96_seed1.dat
NeuralHashv3b-current.espresso.net
NeuralHashv3b-current.espresso.shape
NeuralHashv3b-current.espresso.weights

So, for clarity, Apple did not publish the model/code for others to be able to use/test etc. Someone found a clever way to convert the stored model into an open format and therefore others with access to those files are able to experiment.
> Members who have aired their children's grievances outside the endlessly enabling warmth of estranged parents' forums have been stung by people who took their children's side, and they've learned not to give their opponents ammunition

What else is on.

"Man, you know, I give an uninvolved, objective stranger my slanted version of the truth, without all the other people being present to give their side. How is it that they can still figure out that it all may have been my fault? They must be trolling me!"

Err, most of these are not naturally occurring pairs since in each case the images differ by a human manipulation (resolution reduction, drawing an arrow, changing the watermark, changing the aspect ratio)---which I'm guessing is viewed as a feature not a bug by the designers of this system. The axe and the nematode comes closest, and even then, they are low-res and visually similar. What would be far more concerning is a hash collision between a picture of a piano and a picture of an elephant, but nothing like that is happening here.
