Back in 2009/2011 last.fm was much better. It had working radio (you could stream from it directly, for a small fee) and their discovery stuff was great. Not sure what happened at last.fm but they just completely screwed up. They dropped streaming, disabled or broke a bunch of other functionality and reverted their API to the stone age.

> There are all kinds of people in this world, and we all live very different lives.

I can agree with that and I certainly don't care what people do with their lives as long as they don't harm others.

However there are people consuming a beer each evening for decades and they are totally fine.. I doubt that is possible with crack.
You don't need "safe harbor" to test software you install on your own machine (which is what Crowdstrike is), and if you're testing someone else's server, you'd better have permission already.
The complaints from small business owners in the article remind me of the same situation couple of years ago when Facebook reduced brands ability to reach their followers on Facebook. Not to be picking on FB, in the same way Google is shrinking organic reach within SERPs with every passing year.

There is nothing new in this behaviour, it has happened and it will happen on any new platform that gets popular.
Does anyone remember 'the sixty one', I used to use that all the time to discover music, was really cool - sadly, I left with the rest after the redesign plus overall the music discoverability market was already shifting away from it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesixtyone
> The political unity so quickly after the start of the war was unexpected (and admirable).

It was there for few weeks. But soon everyone was blaming others for the situation and not doing enough.
The free alternatives to OpenAI are not as good as OpenAI. For example, Craiyon (formally DALL-E Mini), is good, but it's nothing compared to the real DALL-E.

Way, way overdue! China has taken all of our research from the 50's and has been charging ahead. Very sad that politics and ignorance has severely kneecapped our nuclear industry :(
Despite the math typo, (4/3)**4 is a pretty interesting composition of pi, if only because you get such a fundamental constant out of a relatively simple arrangement of low natural numbers.
This reminds me of the pre-Snowden times, where people often assumed that governments widely recorded internet traffic, since they had both the capability and the motivation, but people like you dismissed it as “urban legends/conspiracy theories” because there wasn’t any hard evidence.
You can't let vendors hide security problems by just not doing anything about them. People deserve to know if the product they rely on has vulnerabilities, because just because you aren't exploiting it doesn't mean nobody else will find it.

Modzero was even following a more conservative playbook here: not setting a deadline from the start, but only talking about release once the vendor indicated there was no issue (anymore).
Maybe not for a developed, but for an AI based startup:

1. Generate synthetic data that is well aligned to your needs. With careful prompting + ensembling + after-fact human filtering you can generate a lot of very particular human-like data that you can then used to train/etc your product.

2. Generate labels. gpt-3 can give pretty good NLU results through appropriate prompting. You can do multiple prompts + ensembling to get very good labels on free text (sentiment, entity linking, intent, etc).

In both above use cases you can actually avoid deploying gpt-3 as part of client facing product, but instead leverage gpt-3 to train smaller "on-rails" models/rules/etc.
Congratulations on the launch!

I have a suggestion for your next iteration, 'Lyric based music playlist' i.e. Songs for niche categories like Philosophy; There are people looking for it[1] as current music scene seems to be flooded with Romance/break up songs.

So a tool which classifies using the lyrics and are able to find obscure songs irrespective of the artists could be able to address that need-gap.

This is one of the most important moments in all of art history. Millions of people just got unconditional access to the state-of-the-art in AI text-to-image for absolutely free less the cost of hardware. I have an Nvidia GPU myself and am thrilled beyond belief with the possibilities that this opens up.

Am planning on doing some deep dives into latent-space exploration algorithms and hypernetworks in the coming days! This is so, so, so exciting. Maybe the most exciting single release in AI since the invention of the GAN.

EDIT: I'm particularly interested in training a hypernetwork to translate natural language instructions into latent-space navigation instructions with the end goal of enabling me to give the model natural-language feedback on its generations. I've got some rough ideas but haven't totally mapped out my approach yet, if anyone can link me to similar projects I'd be very grateful.

And much more important to the discussion: The models Einstein produced matched existing reality, and also made predictions. Those predictions where eventually tested by other scientists with new experiments that matched Einstein's model's predictions, so the outcome of those experiments are now evidence that those models are correct.

This paper has a model, that hopefully and presumably, accurately describes real world phenomena, and it has been interrogated to produce a new prediction. Now someone has to devise an experiment to verify or reject this new prediction.
Until that experiment is run, and the results found, we have no new information about how water behaves. All we have is a new way to verify or reject this model. If a later experiment confirms what this model predicted, then we will know something new about the world, and these simulations will be trustable in a new domain.
It's not just our time! It's also our limited attention. They think they have a right to it, they even think they can sell it off to the highest bidder. As if it belonged to them.
Because you can tell GPT3 what the concept is — ie, vaguely what you are going for and it will produce. Waaay more flexible than a template.
Creator here. [x]it! was deliberately designed as a strict data format that stands on its own, as I think this makes it easier to create tooling and work with the data programmatically. However, I think use-cases and preferences are as different as the people who use them, so [x]it! doesn’t aim to be the one-size-fits-all approach.

For reference, there was also some discussion about this topic going on here https://github.com/jotaen/xit/discussions/10.
If I am calculating it correctly... That’s what a 2.89% productivity increase every year for 200 years gets you!
I knew that silver-oxide batteries would often work. I had forgotten about the zinc-air hack although they, of course, expire fairly quickly once you start using them.
It's kinda both. The problem is that it doesn't really make sense to do all of this work to configure the build directly in Make, so if you need any kind of expensive detection (like calling pkg-config or testing if some library function is available) it's best to do it in a configure script. Most projects don't have terribly special needs, so it would be both overkill (too much effort) and insufficient (not supporting enough use cases) to do a lot of custom configuration code. So most projects wind up using something like Autoconf, which has already done a ridiculous amount of work to work on almost everything, supporting important use cases like out-of-tree builds and cross-compilation, but even then it has some unfortunate limitations.

As much as I don't think CMake is elegant or perfect by any means, CMake is nice because it does work, and there generally is a proper way to do things even if it's not always intuitive. And for how bad it can be, honestly, it's much less of a pain in my opinion than dealing with autotools, for many reasons. Just to be concrete about it, one thing I find really painful with autotools is trying to find the exact combination of versions that will actually work with a given project... With CMake, usually newer versions are always OK, and there's a decent focus on both backwards compatibility as well as explicitly declaring the required CMake version. There's more, but it's probably not worth getting into, as I don't think most people defend autotools as being particularly nice to use.

Some projects, like the Linux kernel, can definitely get away with Make and custom configuration, since a lot of higher-level general purpose tools are not really well-suited for their needs anyways. I feel like most projects (somewhere on the order of >99% of them) are not really in this boat.
What kind of interface and format is used to work with graphs? Many graph queries (your query language looks inspired by Cypher to me) require returning subgraphs, which need to be represented as a graph and not a tree (JSON, XML, etc.). Do you support TinkerPop-like APIs or RDF formats? Or do you use any alternatives (JSON is not such an alternative, of course)?
How do you buy it? I just see a lot hype, but no link to purchase it. I am still playing around with Corman Lisp! I'd love to see how I can add Scheme to my Excel sheets, and a REPL to boot!
Because providing a template requires someone with knowledge of that particular problem space (in this case "writing letters to government agencies to inquire about disability benefits") to put in the work of designing the template, coming up with likely placeholders and predicting how people might need to use it.

GPT-3 can do a good job of this all today, without any additional training.

An expert could help out by providing a few example prompts, but the result would be a lot more powerful and require a lot less development work to put together than trying to build some kind of placeholder wizard from scratch.
Freeze plugs sound super cool, but this part breaks my brain:

> containing molten salt that has been frozen into a plug

Presumably salt can't be both molten and frozen at once, or is there something about this domain that I don't understand?
Again, the comment I made:

> Generally speaking equipment riders are generally not worth it except for during a larger event (home burns down, etc) because of this - they get you on premiums if you don't make a claim (generally it ends up zeroing out after a couple years) and they get you on premium increases if you do make a claim.

This in no way implies that you should not make a claim if you have a covered event. It simply says that the expected value of any given policy or clause within a policy is net-negative - because that's how insurance operates.

You took that comment and cleaved off the bits you didn't like, until you had a sufficiently narrow statement that you could come up with some contrarian bullshit to look pithy on HN.

Again, have you finally accepted that just because loans also operate in this way, that it doesn't mean insurance can't too?

> Please read the HN guidelines before commenting, in particular this section:

Haha, this from the person who didn't even read the "please follow the most generous interpretation" clause?

Your entire comment chain has sprung from a least-generous interpretation of the rules, which is explicitly against the HN rules. Don't cite rules to me while you're breaking them yourself. And again, you should read the rules about not being snarky or making shallow dismissals.

You wanted to make a cute contrarian comeback post and you made a very in-generous reading of the comment in order to do it, and then if I point that out I'm the bad guy. Again, a very HN phenomenon - too much coddling here. You broke the rules trying to look cool on a social-media site and when called out you tried to rules-lawyer to make yourself look like the good guy.

Take it up with @dang if you want, I don't really care. But I'm not going to be scolded by the wrongdoer for pointing out that someone is cleaving apart substantive comments to make little gotchas. It's a real problem on this site, as is the hiding behind rules-lawyering when people call it out.

Your reply is a low-value comment that doesn't belong on this site and it's gone downhill from there on both sides. This is why we have a rule about that, your comments set the downhill direction here.
"Open source" does not mean that you can reuse the deck for commercial purposes. A lack of an explicit license means that you cannot assume you have any specific permission to use the content, especially for commercial purposes.

Just because they are published does not mean that you can host them, potentially modify them, and sell access. That's like the same thing as scraping Medium.com and re-selling access to all of their articles on your own site.

While we're listing our Netflix gripes - Why is it so hard to watch the credits? Often there's a good song playing and no simple way to avoid it skipping to some other programme, while the emotional resonance of what I've just watched sits with me.
A/B testing? They have so much data about the behavior of watchers that they can optimize, which will lock them into a look.
That's pretty ridiculous thing for you to say as the post I was replying quite clearly implied using the phrase "over-prescription" they were discussing abuse of a drug for productivity. That part wasn't really in question, my observation and experience is merely that abusing ADHD drugs does not actually have this effect.

Unless you're actually arguing in favor of taking performance enhancing drugs for the purpose of boosting productivity, which based on your reaction I'd guess that you are.
right, if you don't like the terms of the NDA, don't agree to it

that is precisely the choice made by the team in the article, because the NDA was bad, for the reasons you described

so it sounds like everyone is OK with this, the authoring team is just describing that issue, along with other issues, with the bug disclosure process (like lying about there being no vulnerability while simultaneously fixing it)

So they won't.

There will be a class action lawsuit only for US citizens. Then you have to opt in and in the end you maybe get $100 of PSN credit. See you next time, rinse and repeat. Big corps and C suits have immunity.

This is amazing, thank you very much! It is really tempting to spin up a small instance for hyper local maps.
GPT-3 is useful for a lot of things. It can write essays, it can write technical documentation, it can write speeches, it can write fiction, it can write poetry, it can write jokes, it can write jokes about jokes, it can write jokes about jokes about jokes, it can write jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes, it can write jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes, it can write jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes, it can write jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes about jokes.

This answer was written by GPT-J when I gave it the following prompt:

question: I lack imagination. What is GPT-3 (and generative text models in general) useful for, other than toys? It can write essays, can we expect it to replace writers for newspapers and magazines? Can it write coherent technical documentation? Replace speechwriters?

My friend used it to "explain like I'm 5" a medical report he had. I sent that to my dad (a surgeon in that specialty) and he said it was all accurate. I thought that was interesting.

Releasing information increases the transparency of the market, allowing customers to make informed decisions. To hide things is not beneficial to the customers.

Why would that be? Alcohol can spoil too.
From my copy editing days, it's drilled into me to never write "n times less" -- I get that it means "1/n" and that's how I'd rewrite it, but yes, it's notoriously confusing, or at least imprecise.

This actually is a very valid argument. Cigarettes actually provide value to the user. Yes, there are negatives, but the user typically knows those and decides the upside is worth the risk.

Do people know the risks of being profiled by ad companies? I am not sure most people can even begin to understand the associated risk. The few attempts to show people what companies know about you were shut down pretty hard.

I'm likely counted as one of them, though it wasn't by choice, it was Long Covid.

At this point I can do about 4 stints of 15 minutes of physical labor per day, if I'm careful about it. I'm 1/12 as useful as I used to be, which is barely enough to avoid ending up in a nursing home bed.
Which is less likely with fluorine because what fluorine reacts with to form the salt, say Na as in NaF, wants to give up an electron, not receive one. And with fluorine as a partner, Na will have the hardest* time retrieving that electron to give to something else. This can be easily validated by comparing enthalpy of reaction and formation for the various halide salts.

The properties of broad chemical stability are not limited to ionically bonded fluorine either, see PTFE, which also derives its stability from the extreme reactivity of fluorine. Compared to say PTIE (polytetraiodoethylene), which if you could even make would rapidly yellow and degrade in open air/mild sunlight, as iodine compounds are wont to do.

*for a loose definition of hardest.
I think one key aspect is that they are less susceptible / immune to loss of coolant incidents. In a PWR if there is a loss of pressure, or coolant in any other way, and emergency cooling doesn't work, the core overheats and might melt down.

An uncooled pool of molten salt will keep on generating heat even after the reaction is stopped, so will continue heating up, but it is possible to design the reactor so that the whole thing remains stable. Since the pressure is low, there is no risk of explosion, or release of the radioactive materials.

So the energy density is i think a secondary benefit, if at all.
> If you are making stuff for iPhones, you essentially have to have a Mac because XCode to create iPhone apps requires a Mac to run.

I would assume people at Apple aren't brain-dead to kill mac and not have an alternative development flow, haha. "killing mac" if it's on a table would include allowing other platforms to build iOS / iPadOS apps.
That's why you watch HBO instead.

Coincidentally, I removed the reddit app I use to use, planning on switching to a flip phone eventually. Reaping so many benefits from this change already! Funny how the link is to a social media site.
Totally agree. If they don't trust credit cards, they shouldn't keep customers in the dark and then cancel them out of nowhere, they should offer a better alternative. Treating paying customers like that is terrible in every possible way. The mistake is entirely Google's.

It’s a sad load of nonsense. Being fat sucks and the best thing that can happen to a fat guy is to lose weight. You can’t even sleep properly if you’re fat. You can’t keep up mentally.

> But what if I want to be more muscular? Is that impossible as well? Not sure.

That is impossible. There is no way to build muscle — gyms are scams. Read “The Muscle Myth” and “The Protein Delusion” by Ivana Tinkle.
I'm liking The Sandman so far, being a fan of the source material like many others watching it I guess, but this critique is spot on.

I skimmed the article to see if it mentioned the "Hallmark look", and was not disappointed to see it did. One can instantly recognize the bright, bland, inoffensive and boring look of any Hallmark production, and quickly zap out of it. TFA also mentions Syfy, which is also instantly recognizable as "cheap CGI".
A majority of Googles revenue comes from running ads on their own sites. Their third party ad network is a small part of their revenue, so the correct direction is to say that Google is subsidising its third party ad network via their first party ad business.

The effect of antitrust would then be that Google separates the ad service for its own services and third party services, which would force their third party ad service to become more expensive since it can no longer rely so heavily on the draw of all the Google properties.
I tried to read this article, but I have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. Why aren't there any example images? I have never noticed this supposed phenomenon, and I was curious enough to try and read the article, but the article does not even make an attempt to showcase this "issue." Am I missing something so obvious that the author didn't even feel compelled to slightly elaborate on what that "something" is?
This is simply a math fail, or not recognizing that the combined GDP of "Russia, Israel and Saudi Arabia" doesn't even come close to the GDP of the United States.
Not sure what you mean by “open sourced” here.

Just because they have made them available that does not mean that you can sell them.
Yeah, I hate the forced "auto-play" and forced "next episode" functions immensely. Let me watch the credits and enjoy the music without kicking me out of my show! At least on HBO Max you can press the "up" arrow key and it'll let the credits roll.
Not sure about the “features” at the end. Specifically Markdown support. This is a client-side issue. If MUAs parsed Markdown, then there is no reason that markdown couldn’t replace html in the relevant part of a MIME multipart message. The SMTP server only handles ASCII characters; it really doesn’t care how that is presented. It also afford the possibly of plaintext as a fall back. Arguably, you could have all three.
I’m surprised that it’s only a factor of ~300 between the modern, highly mechanized grain farm and 200 years ago (before the engine, before modern fertilizers, and before electrically pumped irrigation).
