> The root of inflation is the printing of money

This is only half the story. Inflation is measured based on the prices of goods in the wild. Yes, prices can increase when the value of a dollar falls based on the supply of dollars increasing. At the same time, the price of a good can increase when supply of the good decreases. We're in an era of unprecedented supply chain disruption due to covid, so it would be wrong to forget to account for this side of the story WRT inflation.

I have nothing but positive memories from all the times we met in S12. Your genuine excitement for the cool products everyone was building was refreshing in a time when all my conversations were about customer development and building an org. (Not that we didn't also talk about that, of course, but you were always the biggest reminder WHY we were here.)

I really think there's no one better for this role, it makes me really excited about YC again! Congrats!
Incidentally, yes. I get to choose what my computer displays to me and that's non-negotiable however. If that breaks your business model that is 100% a you problem.
That's why they said "IF the way out". It seems like OP is asking for exactly the same numbers you are - do we need to invest more in making sure things are available/produced? Or will more money just lead to more demand in ways that make things worse like how you've described.
Spot instance pricing for p4d.large is about a third the on-demand cost, though it's not clear what they're using to calculate market rate. An A100 card is roughly $10k retail, so it's not like "owning a GPU cloud" is that cheap a proposition either.

I see the point, but it’s funny that the author lays out the reason why this goalpost-moving is happening.

As pointed out, you sound like an idiot if you’re against Agile. So it’s a lot easier to get what you want if you just call it Agile.

I get that it’s not intellectually rigorous or whatever, but good grief, when has that ever mattered in business. Is there any class of concepts that survives unblemished after contact with reality?
i guess i am bias from my personal experience:

Number of fake/counterfeit items i have gotten from a bricks and morter store : 0

Number of fake/counterfeit items i have gotten off amazon prior to giving up on it : 6

Dig into this counterfeit items issue more deeply, it is almost always "third party sellers" and amazon's commingling that is causing these problems. Don't allow third party sellers, don't commingle your inventory and it is a LOT harder to introduce counterfeit items into your stock.
I'm not an AI Vegan, but perhaps an advocate of the AI "Eat Local" movement (of which I might be the only member :P)?

I similarly understand and sympathise with the apprehension of generating images from this massive harvesting of data with little regard of what should and should not be in the dataset.

I think by using these models as pre-training weights and fine-tuning on data which one believes they have the right to use or (even better) has created themselves, you can (IMHO) greatly minimise the harm of your model's output.

I also like this from a conceptual stand-point. We have the right to learn and be inspired by others, but when it comes to putting the paint brush to the canvas or the ink to the page, it should be our own experiences that we draw primarily from.
At least AGPL-3.0 is more honest and direct than SSPL or other vague licenses to prevent Amazon'd. Lawyers and internal legal departmens did not catch up to those licenses yet. Pretending to be open source until a point and forking under a new license leaves a bad taste.

I legit didn’t want to believe my eyes that it takes half a second after each code change before the IDE realizes whether a given change was correct or not. Also, you need clean builds quite often and I even got a “type inference times out” error message once which I haven’t seen in any PL ever even though I did dabble with quite a few static languages with even wider reaching type inference.
Just like those art students you reference, engineers regularly find bits of code and regurgitate it in their projects. Stack Overflow gets its reputation for a reason. They especially do this earlier in their careers, before they develop their own intuition and style, just like an art student.

Why would you treat the ML model (I very much hesitate to call it AI) differently in these two cases?
It also shows up in bad news writing and science writing.

For example you have 99% of scientist agreeing about global warming.

You have 1% who disagree.

So they write that "Some scientist disagree" and it sounds like its up for debate or maybe a significant portion know something the others don't.

In the pursuit of a "Balanced" POV they tip the scales vs just reporting where the scales are at accurately.
That's why I recommend always pointing the default virtual host in the apache or nginx configuration to an empty static site, and making the real site visible only as a named virtual host (requiring the correct Host header), even when the server will be used only for a single site. Most of these automated exploit attempts will never send the correct Host header, and therefore will only see the default virtual host.
I started using Uber in April 2014. As a blind person I have taken 2047 trips for a total of 9379 miles. Contrary to your hypothetical, Denver still has its original terrible taxi companies, and Uber is still a good deal, 8 years later. Heck, the Taxi companies are actually now better because they provide apps, something that they were super reluctant to do before Uber because it removed the excuse of the broken credit card reader. Anyone remember that one?
I'm so tired of people pointing at theoretical harms like this rather than evaluating the actual situation. If you had told me 10 years ago that I could press a button on my phone and be guaranteed to be picked up, rather than calling some creepy cab company at 2 AM and being told that someone would be there in 30 minutes and having to wait all night, I would still find that hard to believe. And yet, here we are.

Another thing that really grinds my gears is seeing people cite how there are more emissions now because more people are using Uber. Buddy, that's me you're talking about. My Uber is making those additional emissions. Because in the old days I was trapped at home without easy access to transportation and now I can travel anywhere in the city at any time just like you can, which means I went from producing 0 emissions to actually, you know, living my life.
The claim being asserted is that the viewpoint is not sophisticated enough (despite it being the commonly held, intuitive belief about inflation). That's the claim that needs to be proven.
I think if I saw my doppelganger I'd think, at a minimum "He has a familiar looking face". I'd probably also think, at a minimum, "I've seen that guy around somewhere before."
Would you want to live in that? Because I wouldn't, nor would I want to live anywhere near a development like that.
> Conclusion: The value of money will go down the drain faster and faster forever.

Most Western countries try to keep inflation low, and succeed. If what you were saying were true, wouldn't we have hyperinflation everywhere? Right now we're having a supply shock, but that's not normal.
It's an oversimplification, and I'm not sure what you are referencing w.r.t "embarrassing things".

> Why not?... Do you not believe all Americans are equal before the law?

I think the absurdity of your suggestion speaks for itself.
> But platforms like Rumble which trumpet their free speech bonafides are missing the point: moderation is good, normal, and reinforces free speech principles. It is right for platform owners to decide the range of permissible posts.

This is a very Canadian take.
Given the large deficits we've run since the 80s and the lack of inflation during those 40 years, I'm going to go ahead and guess that the prime suspects for inflation are covid related supply issues and logistics issues. But since the labor market is tight, you know the fed will not miss the chance to crush workers, so expect rate hikes for a long time.
I have a PhD in physics, and I wasn't a fan of academia, and my specialty isn't in demand in the private sector. So back to computing. I think the priority of the US is in tech not basic science. I also wanted to make some money, passion will only carry one so far when you are living month to month on a PhD's salary. I am thankful I had programming to fall back on.

I think I am grateful I failed to make it as a professional scientist, my lifestyle if much healthier as a software engineer. My job is not my identity, I work normal hours, I can take time off, I found new hobbies, I sleep more, I can stop working without guilt.
Indeed, nice works !!
I have a pretty similar-looking celebrity doppelgänger. Turns out we were born 9 months apart (which isn't too surprising, considering being the same age would contribute to us looking alike), but we're also the same height!
Why wouldn’t it be both the (considerable) expansion in money supply and shortages? At a 30000 foot view, price level is determined by money supply divided across the finite set of goods and services.
>> Are the AI generated images copyrighted?

> No, this is already established in the US.

The case you're likely thinking of [1] is not at all this case. Thaler tried to have the AI assigned the copyright, then transfer it to himself. USPTO denied that the AI could have the copyright, so it could not be transferred.

This is completely the opposite of what this case is. He wanted AI to be the sole copyright holder, which the court ruled cannot be. Any creative human input to make the AI create the image (text prompts, post selection from among any images to find one that is good) is fully copyrightable by the person.

The text that an artist uses and then selects final images from are both considered creative enough to make the final copyrightable, just as if they entered numbers into Photoshop tools to make an image the way they wanted it. Plenty of these are creative enough and take significant tweaking by the authors via the text they fiddle with to be copyrightable, the same as the text they created to generate the work.

And how the porn industry was able to find so many and which are willing to become pornographic actors.

I suspect most of them were already in the porn industry, realized they kinda looked like someone and leaned into it.

Though, if you look like a celebrity people will tell you. The more you look like them the more often you'll hear it. With social media I suspect it spreads pretty quickly with tagging the celebrity directly and whatnot. As far as who are willing, I would have to guess that being presented a clear contract and check with the right amount of zeros would convince most people.
> The root of inflation is the printing of money

Not exactly. It's the "printing of money" that increases faster than the economic output/demand curve that causes inflation.

You can definitely be "printing money" in a deflationary environment as well.

You can also see a general price level increase with the same money supply, if the velocity of money increases, or if the supply of goods goes down.
Yeah and if AI facial recognition has taught us anything, it's that distinctions that "look" obvious to humans can, in actuality be incredibly subtle. We're just really good at differentiating and recognizing faces.
I was one of the biggest proponents of DevOps (even started and the DevOps orange county meetup) but ... after working at AWS for 5+ years, my entire perspective shifted.

While DevOps does work in some organizations, sometimes what you really need to do is operationalize your software development team. Don't get me wrong, system developers/engineers/operations are needed but for sometimes for a small four person start up, the best investment is improving the development team's operational posture (e.g. run books, alarming, monitoring).

Go back and read my comment above. I specifically described this in the context of eminent domain.
It goes to engineers and materials scientists? And welders and builders and truck drivers and everything else.

And what about if that money was spent on building homes? Those guys framing the houses aren’t as valuable as the guys running modeling software in an office? Do you think the truck drivers in Alabama are more valuable than truck drivers in California?

Put in the same input of labor, and either get 130,000 single family homes AND the economic benefit of all the work to build them, or get a few big rockets which are about 20 years behind their nearest competitor.

I run a honeypot network to produce a threatfeed. Over the last month I saw an increase in daily numbers from Aug 7th to 19th. About 30% increase. From the 19th until yesterday I saw a 20% decrease from the peak. Still above average right now slightly.

In fact, it's interesting. The time it takes to open a port and wait for a random attacker isn't measured in minutes. It's seconds. You can do this at home.

>For some numbers, over the past 7 days we had 24,000 attempts against 'root' and only 749 against the next most popular target, which is a login name ('admin') that doesn't even exist here. Just over 10,000 of those attempts came from a single IP address, and just four IPs made 1,000 or more attempts against anything. Besides root, only five login names had more than 100 attempts (and none of them exist here): 'admin', 'user', 'ubuntu', 'debian', and 'pi'. And only three machines saw more than 1,000 attempts (across all targeted login names).

Thanks for this comment! We wanted to make live debugging more accessible while protecting our revenue and AGPL seemed reasonable.
That’s false. Compare 1980 was 7.54 million, 2000 was 5.98 million, 2012 was 3.39 million, and 2020 was 3.82 million. https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/arctic-sea-ice/

It is noisy data with few data points, so yes 2013 was 5.05 million but both the peaks and troughs are dropping.

What should the government do? The article discusses how it is not clear what should be different (other than turning the relevant accounts back on).

It is easy to ask for public hearings but if there’s no intended remedy or change they will just be a show trial and nothing will change.

That's not how it works. If someone makes a claim, by default they are neither right nor wrong. But once you make the statement a claim is wrong (or "not sophisticated enough") then that person has made an additional assertion.

Burden of proof doesn't mean it default to "you're wrong." It means it defaults to "your position is unfounded." To change it to "you're wrong" requires evidence of your own.
You've hit on the issue the fed has - the only real tool they have to combat inflation is to kill demand. In this case, inflation is from a mix of demand because people have money and supply shocks due to covid. The feds main tool to address supply issues is to lower rates and spur investment. Problem is, they are also trying to kill demand at the same time. For now, we just have to wait for supply issues to sort themselves out.
The fact that you've got countless people who have never heard of you blocked, would seem to indicate that you have in fact got it wrong.
Tell me, earnestly, what progress is being blocked by your inability to use AI to generate an image of a blowjob.

I don't mean this in a moralistic sense. I have no qualms about images of blowjobs. I have no doubt that the porn industry has already deployed these models and is experimenting with this without filters. As a monetizable way to reduce the human costs, it's an entirely logical step, and adult performers should be as nervous as artists, and talking to lawyers.

But PROGRESS???
If the AI is looking at 5bn images, that means it's drawing inspiration from individual ones even less than a human would.
Which middle class are we talking about? The plumbers and nurses or the techies and doctors?

Because I think the former would justifiably be very, very, very happy to see the latter take a big haircut since the latter's money is a large part of what's propping up asset prices (and the prices of many consumer goods) and directly reducing the access the former has to such things.
Try even hinting at calling them Luddites and see how they react!
Is it possible the majority of attempts were actually being run by a single botnet, and it either shut down or the owner changed the attack payload? Perhaps it's just been running for the last few years, with the botmaster apathetic, forgetting about it or maybe even had lost control.

I think you're right about the low-hanging fruit part: it seems unlikely anyone would bother to put serious effort or money (eg: the resources of a botnet) into this type of attack anymore, and the OP seems to support this idea:

> For some numbers, over the past 7 days we had 24,000 attempts against 'root' and only 749 against the next most popular target, which is a login name ('admin') that doesn't even exist here. Just over 10,000 of those attempts came from a single IP address, and just four IPs made 1,000 or more attempts against anything.

That's fine, until an AI regurgitates a unique page of code I wrote without modification. That's just copying. Although, if the courts want to clarify that straight-up copying a page or two of code is okay, I would be happy.

It seems weird to market it as a "concurrent" language. A lot of mainstream general purpose language from the past 30 years have some form of coroutine/generator. Off the top of my head Lua, JS, Ruby, Go, Python etc all have them and Go being an exception which has actual threads iirc. This may be a "me" issue, but hearing it marketed as a "concurrent" issue seems to lead you to believe has real parallel execution.
