Oh, it wasn't my intention to criticize anything or anyone in particular with that comment.

I was just pondering that our originally clearly defined terms are rapidly getting used in very confusing manner, which increases the difficulty of a discussion, as participants interpret words very differently.

I dont think that people look up the actual definition of terms in a thesaurus anymore. They hear it in some context and create their own personal definition. It wasn't as obvious before the internet i think, but nowadays everyone is bombarded with technical terms all the time, which likely contributes massively to this increasingly fluid terminology

Cloudflare choosing to continue to provide their security services to Kiwifarms won't do anything about the fact that they're unregulated, and can offer or revoke services from whoever they choose and whatever time they wish. If you want to turn Cloudflare into a regulated monopoly, or utility company, then I would be open to that argument, but if you leave them as an unregulated, profit-seeking enterprise then you have to be critical about where that profit is coming from and what moral tactics you're okay with them to further that profit.
It was meant to be sarcastic.
Yes, this is exactly my point. And I’d go even one step further: creating real artificial intelligence cannot be possible without learning from the real world - which means learning also from copyrighted material. So a law that prevents this (even by just requiring to pay a minuscule fee) would effectively ensure that such a technology will be developed in a country with different laws.
also, even if that was true for all of those presumably unbanked countries, how is allowing universal access to stable stablecoins any easier? still need some physical place to cash out, so what's the difference between that and a bank? unless you envision completely tearing down local currencies and going fully digital wallet to wallet?

Thanks, that's a good idea! Added these as "further reading" at the bottom.
So then concentrate on the idea behind the word and stop wasting peoples time.
4G LTE can support around 4000 devices per square km, 5G can support around a million, all with faster speeds and far reduced latency. You want cars that can talk to each other? Stoplights that can talk to cars in real-time? Wireless cellular internet so you have an alternative to whatever your apartment complex provides, or whatever ISP decided it was worth it to wire your street 20 years ago? 4G was incapable of that with any real population density due to congestion. 5G, fully realized, handles it easily. Now apply those types of communications to literally every sector in range of a 5G cell tower. Forget the stupid VR headsets, look into the stuff in the walls, underground and along streets and inside office buildings/hospitals/factories.

Part of the reason the Internet of Things sucks so hard is that 4G communications are insufficient to reach the scales/speeds/latency required to do anything at scale or requiring low-latency communications with it. You've likely experienced this while trying to browse the internet on your data plan in a crowded area, where you then switch to an unsecured public wifi hotspot out of frustration. That's why we've largely seen the sector stick to overpriced consumer toys and other non-critical applications.

At any rate the rollout is just beginning, to the point where 5G is still more of a marketing term (I think T-Mobile was selling 5G capable phones before it even rolled out any hardware), and supply chain issues are biting everything. But the business incentives are there, give it a few years.
As I mentioned above, new JS tooling is beginning to be written in non-JS/TS languages. esbuild which you mention specifically is in Go, not JS.
There are two elements of this position that I urge you to consider:

First - if KF is guilty of crimes that would stop CloudFlare from providing them services - then it's both reasonable and normal for people to encourage CloudFlare to act before a verdict. It's extremely common for commercial actors to have policies based on their impressions of likely criminality (i.e. credit card transactions are marked fraudulent before a court of law weighs in). Also, even though it's impossible to perfectly provide services to all 'good' customers and deny services to all 'bad' customers - it seems desirable to minimize the services you provide to 'bad' customers. I.e. It's good to cut off likely fraudulent transactions before a court verdict and we should encourage companies to act ahead of verdicts.

So if you think a customer is probably doing something you'd cut off service for if it was determined in court, you should generally change your posture towards that customer somewhat. This is often a difficult determination and a difficult line to draw - but it's clearly a good thing to try and do.

Second, the ability to prove a case in court depends on a great number of elements aligning. There are a number of scenarios where an actor is doing things that, could they be proved in court, would get them denied service - but for reasons unrelated to the actions themselves a determination cannot be made. The moral weight of providing services to those actors is the same and it's still desirable for companies to seek to avoid providing services to bad actors. Your legal responsibility is different, but you would still like to avoid serving clients whose actions you abhor.

Otherwise, you get into the position where moral action is impossible outside of the opinion of an authority. Let's say you see a stranger's bag grabbed by someone else on the street - would you say the only moral course of action is to cooperate with an official investigation (if one happens)?
I'm pretty happy with Loki + promtail so far

That is the common perception but it is not accurate.

The corollary of this is get impersonated to get a badge (while this article is about be a Fake musician to get a badge).
I agree. There are two different sets:

1. Actual deep learning researchers, actively doing research. I rarely hear nonsense about impending AGI or mass technological unemployment from these folks. They might express tepid concern about the ethics of various applications of deep learning and tepidly point out that some technological disruption in employment is possible, but in both cases with an emphasis on tepid. And who, if anything, tend to under-estimate progress. (Self-driving is still very far off and also much further along than I thought it would be 9 years ago. I turned down jobs at self-driving cos because I didn't believe they would make enough progress to even have an ADAS product, but I was clearly wrong and if I could do it over I'd work on self-driving from 2013 onwards even though L5 is still a long way out.)

2. Deep learning fan-boys, for lack of a better term. The rationalist community in particular has a sub-community of tech-adjacent folks who aren't publishing in major conferences every cycle or running research labs but do talk a lot about AGI/UBI.

IMO it's not that dissimilar from climate science or even in the extreme the existence of aliens. Scientists with a lot of real expertise will sort of tepidly talk you through the full complexity. And then some "true believers" who aren't actually expert will sort of run to the extremes of anti-natalism or aliens among us. If that makes sense.
Completely agree.

Also, "Even if these AIs started generating their own ideas, it would be amazing and fascinating and worth celebrating": they already can, if you combine them with something like GPT-3 :)
>Second, and this is the big one: there were plenty of reasonably large datasets, and frankly plenty of sufficiently large compute resources in the 1980s and certainly the 1990s to do research. That wasn't the problem. The problem was that neural networks were largely restricted to two layers due to the vanishing gradient problem, so they had to be fat rather than deep, which wasn't good.

Even that was not the decisive problem - given enough compute multilayer NNs could be trained just fine. The real obstruction was a political failure of deep learners (connectionists) in securing academic prestige and associated access to large-scale compute; By now it's all but forgotten, but then this was a prominent academical political debate of the decade: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neats_and_scruffies and even though "neats" eventually prevailed, the connectionists were still sidelined by statistical ML practicioners (whose efforts didn't happen to scale, although more than a few weighty theses and books happened to be published as a result).

Perhaps in the near future, when this wave of AI will give us impossible to deny life-changing outcomes (for example: new cures for chronic diseases) we will look back and think about how many years or even decades of progress were postponed, essentially lost for nothing but academic hubris of a camp that won the funding battle then, only to be swept away in a few decades.

Until we haven't really understood the Bitter Lesson http://incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html every bit of progress that was not realized is our fault.

I find it strange that they don't set a negative price for natural gas, thus giving domestic producers an incentive to pause production.

Some natural gas is produced as a byproduct of pumping oil, but is that enough to glut their market on its own?

Agree, deep learning seems to be exceeding all most expectations over the last decade. Only time it doesn’t is when some vc funded startup is making insane claims.

Interesting!

How do Snap engineers feel about all this? Are they so into the product and their work that they just don’t care? Or rather, are they also deeply supportive of Evan’s stewardship? (ignore the non-believers)

The former is being used as justification for the latter.
Right, we agree on that. The salaries are a symptom of a system built on a number of perverse incentives that have ended up putting the majority of humanity's most productive minds to work thinking about stuff other than how to mitigate the catastrophe of the current mass extinction event
Are you implying that drugs don't have normal values? Or that you cannot sell drugs for cash?

A vocal minority of e.g. GPL proponents is just like, really really mad about it.

They tend to claim they are worried about open source. Really they are worried about a smaller sub-culture of open source who doesn’t want their code used for profit without being paid.
It can work with any Swagger/OpenAPI spec AFAIK, does run on .NET though. Other than running it if you're just generating a TS client you don't need to be part of the .NET ecosystem at all.

But I like your idea of the universal generator. NSwag isn't the most friendly of things to configure & regenerate so something like your lovely site will make it easier for people. Best of luck with the project!

> I did not compare cloudflare to a private association of volunteers.

The point was your lecture on fire fighting services was irrelevant to the context.

> I am suggesting they are comparable to a private for-profit firefighting company. Can you respond to this? If KF farms hires a private for-profit firefighting company, and then political activists commit arson against KF, should the private for-profit firefighting company put out the fire?

I did respond. I said the analogy had negative value. Continuing to mutate the analogy is just more evidence of it.

> Or does your political ideology oblige firefighters to side with arsonists?

> I mean, given that most signs point to the culprit site there being kiwifarms, yes, yes!

So, when someone does a thing that's designed to hurt both Kiwifarms and MTG and your assumption is that KF is responsible?

> More generally, swatting people is bad (and also illegal!), people should not do it.

I'd agree, anyone caught doing this should be imprisoned for attempted murder. I worry more about people trying to expand this list to anyone adjacent to them or critical of that person who does not engage in such harassment or any platform they use to speak, even when that platform removes anyone doing such things.

That said if we do go down that road, FB, Twitter & co. should be first on the chopping block and I won't miss them.

> Sites that encourage it should not be supported.

I don't visit KF, except that I read their response earlier regarding the byuu thing (when they were being DDoS'd which prevented them from responding much) and it didn't seem like the platform had meaningfully encouraged this or interacted with byuu in any way.

It's a sad loss, because I was loosely acquainted with byuu and byuu's work and you can see some of those comments between us here on HN. I also did what little I could to try to help find that package of lost video games, not that I actually was able to contribute anything, but I tried.

Despite KF getting lots of blame, I didn't actually see any proof of them participating in that in any meaningful way. Maybe I missed something, because again, I don't actually use that site and I only went there to look at what was going on with the story since it involved byuu.

But the response was pretty clear that there was a small thread with people not even interacting with byuu and it's hard to see a link between that and driving someone to suicide. None of the articles I read about the whole thing actually did anything but quote someone who said there was a link, so with no evidence but some person I don't know's say-so, I'd say that case is rather weak by people who already hate KF.

Feel free to point to more showing that KF is bad, because to me they're just another angry part of the internet, kinda like FB or Twitter, that I tend to avoid for that very reason. I'm suspect that they in particular should be deplatformed compared to the other platforms, though, because to me they're all angry nasty things that have driven people to suicide.

And I'm pretty sure that on FB in particular, someone was successfully sued for that, which already puts them a level worse than what I've seen proven of KF so far.
Maybe. I run a word game (https://squareword.org) that uses localstorage to store stats. This allows me to give users statistics without requiring any sort of account or signup. Even so, I often hear from people that have their stats cleared, for example by iOS evicting localstorage after 7 days of not visiting a site.

Why do you think it makes a difference whether Cloudflare meets California's public utility law? The law, which could change, doesn't solve the moral objections you have here.

Or does it? Do you think it's OK to provide network protection to Kiwi Farms is California politicians say so, but not if Cloudflare says so?

Corporations are people because you can sue them. This is good.

Money is not speech, but spending money on your speech is legal (and good), just because money flows through a corporation doesn't mean speech that would be legal otherwise can be restricted. This is good.

Whether Cloudflare meets the legal definition of a public utility doesn't matter. Nobody, including Cloudflare alleges they have to provide the service. The provide the service becauase they want to prevent network attacks from everyone.

This position is mutually exclusive to protecting people from other, non network attack harasssment.

From their words they want to address and remove the negative externalitiies of network attacks, and you can't do that if you pick and choose at all.

Didn't they remove Tumblr for this very reason at one point?
I mean, yeah, but that's no different than people claiming DALL-E will replace artists, or GPT-3 will replace authors, or calculators will replace mathematicians, or the printing press will replace handwriting, etc. Whenever there's new tech, there are people who think it will replace every activity that it can perform, and that's almost never the case. Doesn't take away from the actual capabilities of the tech, though.
> Doesn't make sense to me why OpenAI has kept DALL-E closed source for so long. I can only guess either safety from misuse

Paternalistic moralizing as a method to discriminate who gets access to models. Everyone else gets these cloud-service table scraps. That's why Stable Diffusion is so awesome -- YOU have the model!
Thanks! Spot on. For embedding in the site, we used a lottie animation with the lottie-web NPM library. As for the lottie animation, I worked with a contractor on fiverr (this is him: https://www.fiverr.com/meerazzum?source=order_page_summary_s...). Would absolutely recommend him. I gave him a sloppy figma mockup and he brought it to life.

Let me know if you have more questions.
There's a third too: Moore's law. Few researchers in the world had access to the compute resources to do this stuff in the 1980s and 1990s. Today a high-end desktop can train models large enough to do compelling things in a few hours and a phone or a small laptop can execute a model to render a prediction or do pattern classification in seconds.

For the really huge models we now have commodity cloud compute available when in the past you would have had to be among the elect with access to a supercomputer. You couldn't just go whip out a credit card and rent time on a Cray II or a Connection Machine and commodity hardware back then would have taken years to train something like GPT-3 if it even had enough storage.
