Exit strategy to where? There is no viable exit when the world is crumbling around you. Not even actual farmers might be safe.

We have a lot of actual physical labor to do, regardless of how much it is paid for. It can be paid for well or it can ruin you.
What our societies did is devalue important physical labor, when it's more necessary then ever before.

We need to fix rivers, build exosystems - with a shovel and rake, oftentimes - and build these wind farms and solar panels, meaning restarting old manufacturing in a new clean ways.
All while at the same time food and water still gets delivered and cleaned, garbage is properly disposed of, or better yet, reused.

None of which current revision of capitalism promotes.
True, but (in the US at least), those rights also stop when they come up against an imminent threat. See the trope about falsely yelling “fire” in a crowded movie theater. The issue here seems to be accurately defining that risk.
AGPL fixes a "bug" in GPL that many tech companies have exploited to not release modified source code as the GPL requires. Simply put, GPL says that you have to release the complete source code (including any changes you have made) of a GPL licensed code only if you distribute it to other users. Many tech companies thus avoided GPL code. But with the growth of Software-as-a-Service, where an application only runs on the server and is accessed through a browser or an app, many of these same companies created web applications with GPL code that they customised. However, if a user demanded the source code of the GPL code, along with the modifications they made, the tech companies refused to provide it claiming they weren't "distributing" the application (as in giving you the whole application to run on your computer). And since they weren't doing that they claimed they had no legal obligation to release the complete source code.

AGPL fixes this - it recognizes SaaS web applications too as a "distribution" of GPL software. So if a source code is licensed under AGPL, anyone who uses it to create web applications and makes it available to the public is now also legally obliged to provide the complete source code if any user requests for it. (And ofcourse, as with GPL the user is free to use the source code as they want, freedom to improve it, and even start competing SaaS services).

That is why the AGPL is currently the best GNU license to ensure that your open source code always remains open source.
Speech can get people to maim and kill, too. Sometimes with surprising efficiency. And when a technology is outlawed, the power that it bestows upon humanity concentrates in the outlaws. For sure, information and communication technology are an interesting edge case of that general principle.
I would love to get into this, but its syntax is so hard to read

I get that you went for a compact syntax that is fast to write (maybe like a shell scripting for music programming), but it's also too hard to read / too sigil heavy IMO

In special, the use of ` is very confusing and could probably be replaced by braces { }

Hi, asking for a friend. Where did you hear about this?
I think there's an inflection point after learning the basics of syntax, variables, data structures, control structures, etc. where you see how things fit together and your goals feel attainable instead of murky and unknowable. You may not be great with best practices or architecting complex programs, but you actually "know how to program" and can create what you want or need.
This is great. I skimmed the code. I’ll have to check Spotify API to see if it’s possible to grab just podcasts from Spotify. Then I can try to see if I can do this stuff with another app. In general, happy to see this project for the ideas.
Is a system that can generate images of gore, or of sexual acts really on the same level of risk as medical experimentation?

Any human can draw genitals. We can draw boobs and butts. Should this ability be regulated as if it's a risk to human health?
Is it expensive, or is it that dollar is just too valuable to people out there?

If they don't provide you with labor, (e.g. because they want it for themselves or they do not want to pollute their land) what will you do, raid them?
Emacs 29 also aims to introduce experimental support for tree-sitter[1], although it will probably be hidden behind a configure-flag.

This should enable us to create better, faster parsers for popular languages where the Emacs-support so far has not been that great.

So yeah I second that. Emacs 29 is going to be a great release!

> I've written a library with zero production dependencies. Of course I have Jest as a development dependency which pulls in all sorts of stuff. It would be difficult to make a zero-dependency library.

That really depends on what your expectations and goals are. You mention Jest but as it's a test dependency then security is not a major concern, and thus it's ok to just vend the source code into your project trees.
I actually owe you a huge thank you for pointing out how bad the experience was!

I genuinely had no idea how awful it was - of course you don't see pop-ups if you are logged in. To be fair to Substack the control to turn off pop-ups was there but it was turned on by default and a bit buried away in the UI.

I've removed any mid-article calls to action and turned off pop-ups now so hopefully a much better and less aggressive experience.

On the S/360, the article I linked to was a short look at how complex some S/360 instructions were and at how assembly used to be written using pen and paper. If you're interested in more on S/360 Assembly then the principles of operation may be worth a scroll through. [1]

Thanks again - really appreciate that you fed back rather than just closing your browser window.

Unless I’m mistaken that’s literally the opposite of what he’s saying?

He says: there are a class of people, criminals, who need x/y/z properties of a search engine… and that’s not what we provide.

He makes the difference between Privacy (which Kagi apparently provides) and true anonymity (which appears to be out of scope for them). Sounds a lot like DDG vs, say, Tor. The former is very privacy conscious, the latter is attempting to be provably anonymous to a level sufficient for life-or-death personal safety.
The fact that a company would consider it a PR disaster for its technology to generate dick picks at industrial scale IS the issue. It's not a PR disaster and if it is, then it means a company had incorrect brand strategy from the get go. It's very ironic that the steps taken for the sake of "diversity", "tolerance" and "inclusiveness" ended up in the opposite. Perhaps it is time to stop listening to rainbow flag accounts on twitter and actually consider the desired outcomes?

They could change the code after 8 months to exfiltrate your address book, easily. Most businesses pivot for whatever reasons, a giant database of users contacts would be precisely what one would want in order to mitigate unforeseen problems with the business model.

As for your kitchen example, you don't need to say anything. Walk into any room with a weapon and people will know they might be in danger. If I'm in that kitchen, and you walk towards me, I'll move out of arm's reach.

Basically it's the same problem: Assurances are worthless. Rationalization provides seemingly excellent reasons for any course of action. So, the onus is on you to show that no harm will be done. It certainly is not the responsibility of some 3rd party to establish this, that is a coercive worldview.

> Same here. Anyone know if eglot is "better" than lsp-mode? Or was it just picked because of some licensing reason?

I just checked, and both are licensed as GPLv3. I guess it could be this copyright-assignment thing?

Either way because of this move, I decided to try eglot over lsp-mode.

First thing which happens is that eglot complains its can't find a language-server for the major-mode I'm working in now... And it does *not* offer to automatically install one.

Based on this alone, I would say for OOB experience lsp-mode still seems leaps and bounds better.

I don't understand what you mean.

Anyway I used inotify multiple times in various programming languages and it was always fine, I'm a bit surprised that it's considered "broken" in any way.

I mean, is it broken regarding to correctness or just performance?

Some forms of technology are highly regulated because people can do really stupid, reckless and dangerous things. Home chemistry kits today are quite unlike those produced 100 years ago, which had ingredients for making gunpowder and other explosives, as well as highly toxic compounds like cyanide, and less dangerous but problematic things like metallic mercury. Similarly, biotech is now regulated and monitored because modern tools allow people with relatively minimal resources to do things like re-assemble smallpox using nothing but the sequence data:

As far as AI, maybe the immediate risks aren't quite so dramatic but it's going to create a real lack-of-trust problem with images, video and data in general. Manipulated still photographs are already very difficult if impossible to detect and there's an ongoing controversy over whether they are admissible in court. AI modification of video is steadily getting harder to identify, and there are already good reasons to suspect the veracity of video clips put out by nation-states as evidence for their claims (who likely already have unrestricted access to the necessary technology - for example, Iran recently released a suspicious 'accidental death' video of a woman arrested for not covering her head, which could be a complete fabrication).

Similarly, AI opens the door to massive undetectable research fraud. Many such incidents in the past have been detected as duplicated data or copied images, but training an AI on similar datasets and images to create original frauds would change all that.

A more alarming application is the construction of AI-integrated drones capable of assassinating human beings with zero operator oversight, just load the drone with a search image and facial recognition software, and then launch-and-forget, which doesn't sound like that good of an idea. Basically Ray Bradbury's Mechanical Hound in Farenheit 451, only airborne.
Automattic has been buying stuff up. Simplenote, Day One, Tumblr, this. I wonder if they’ll IPO when the IPO window opens up again.
See my reply to the other comment here, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t condoning those things, and are suggesting that Kagi is unsuitable for those uses.
Yay! --emojis. For those times when actually writing a word is just far too much hassle.

The next stage in the human race's descent into illiteracy will be a service which translates your emojis into Neanderthal grunts.
One day we will crack the "platforming" issue. Until that day, free speech remains under attack, for reasons I cannot wrap my head around completely. It is pervasive though, to the point it feels like a gag at times.

But yea, if speech can become law, it can matter quite a bit. Do we really want DALL-E generated state laws?
Is it broken regarding to correctness or just performance? I mean, does inotify have some obscure race condition or drop events or duplicate events or something
Oh knock it off.
Fixed it. Thank you!
Short answer: There's money on the table.

The rapid rate of development of the tech means there are new business models on the horizon and these companies may want to minimise how much they give away in order to maintain their (i) competitive advantage, (ii) not preemptively harm a potential future business model, and (iii) not give the competitors/ or the community the necessary tools to out-pace their internal development (i.e. lose control of the tech.)

Even with the available options we see that (iii) is happening fast - independent developers have already produced in and out painting options and GUIs that are far better than DreamStudio's limited offering. These free tools are now even beginning to match the in & outpainting quality of Dall-e.

It seems these companies are trying to consolidate future revenue possibilities against their past statements, likely for the sake of investors. That's most clear with Stability AI, investment is surging, but releases have stalled drastically. Meanwhile their rationale for not releasing 1.5 doesn't stand against the realities of what is already possible with 1.4. (Especially as they continue to release such advancements in the for-pay DreamStudio lite product.)

The tradeoff depends on your social class. The Westerners who have the resources to move to SEAsia/China etc. or the upper-class people from those countries who return there will find themselves freer there because they by definition have the resources to take advantage of the situation. If you are a middle-class or lower-class local citizen, the stability and boredom of the EU sounds much more appealing. Instead of personal freedom, there is the crushing weight of the system around them. They have street food but have to work 996 in polluted conditions.

Exactly how would an AI generated image break any U.S. law?
I wrote about the importance of tree sitter a while back, for people who don't know why Emacs would adopt it:

https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/tree-sitter-complicat...
No?

Training it to produce as 'realistic as possible' pictures could lead to it producing outputs which encourage humans to train it more and more, with more and more data, to eventually produce really good pictures.

Before long, everyone on earth is working in a GPU factory...

I don't think that'll happen with stable diffusion... but I do think that if AI is an existential threat to the world, the point of no return will be something apparently mundane like that...

Honestly since Brave search launched, I never bothers with DDG.
brave is just so much better.
I've previously tried using Textual and felt that it wasn't quite ready. From everything I've seen, I think that changes with this release, but I'll have to use it to confirm. Really happy to see it launch! Looking forward to seeing what this inspires.
It's great to see every speed up :)
I really don’t think this is the case. much more likely openAI look at two paths: dall-e with restrictions and dall-e without restrictions.

one leads to criticism in the media, potential regulation down the line and even possibly lawsuits, which all potentially lead to decreased profit. their tool also probably ends up mostly being used for porn, which thanks to visa and mastercard is notoriously hard to monetise

the other path leads to a few people online - myself included - being a bit miffed, and maybe posting a complaint or two on some forums. no family values politicians get pissed off, no child porn lawsuits or even indictments, and they don’t have to involve themselves in the messy porn industry. a much less dangerous path

I doubt AI ethicists even come into the actual decision. maybe they’d bring them in after the fact to sell the decision
At least the title did not say

"A new controversial paper claims SARS-Cov-2 bears signs of genetic engineering"

Thats a good sign.
Yes, with caveats. Give yourself a goal you want to accomplish in Emacs -- just one -- and then start with that. Do not try to overload your learning by doing everything in Emacs from day one.

Maybe.

Yes, the Internet was supposed to be an international commons. It had only a brief window when it was actually anything like that. That window has been closed for over a decade now, and it is time to recognize the facts.

Considering the uncountable myriad of ways that such agreements could be evaded and subverted, and the fact that it is already rather uncool to be seen as spyware, yet the practice is so ubiquitous as to have a name of "surveillance capitalism", it seems like a fools errand.

Also, CCP has already effectively blocked Google Facebook, etc., there is no reason to allow them continued free access.

More broadly, the Grand Experiment has been fully and exhaustively tried, and it has colossally failed. The idea was that open trade and information exchange would inexorably lead to open markets and open democracies.

This beautiful idea turned out to be entirely false. The measures from open markets and information exchanges have in fact been perverted to strengthen autocracies, and used in hybrid warfare to threaten democracy itself around the globe.

It is past time to shut off access to those autocracies that wish us only harm. The days of the internet as an international commons are, sadly, long gone.

For anyone who actually used those models for more than few days and learns their strengths and weaknesses it is completely obvious all this talk of "societal impact", or as you called it self imposed limits are 100% bulls**. Everyone in the field knows it.

99% of those using this tactics use it to justify not releasing their models to avoid giving competition a leg up(Google, openAI) and to pretend they are for "open research". As I said this is 100% bull.

The remaining 1% are either doing this to inflate their egos ("hey look how considerate and enlightened we are in everything we do!"), or they pander to media/silly politicians/various clueless commentators whose level of knowledge about this technology is null. They regurgitate the same set of "what ifs and horror stories" to scare the public into standing by when they attempt to over regulate another field so they can be kingmakers within it(if you want an example how it works look at the energy sector).

All this sillyness accomplishes is to raise a barrier to entry for potential commercial competition. Bad actors will have enough money/lack scruples to train their own models or to steal your best ones regardless how "impact conscious" your company it.

Now, I don't claim everyone should be forced to publish their AI models. No, if you spent lots of money on training your model it is yours. But you can't lock all your work behind closed doors and call yourself open. It doesn't work like this. One important point is that there is value even in just publishing a paper demonstrating some achievements of a proprietary model, but if the experiment can't be reproduces based on description given that is not science and for sure it is not open.
OP doesn’t sound like it’s talking exclusively about image generation. Sounds like a general, “I should be able to build, propagate, and use whatever tech however I want no matter the negative externalities.”

> I mean, try finding a sys-admin who can just do simple tasks like set up and properly configure a mail server these days.

Doing this correctly is mostly googling and using reference material to make sure you’ve set it up correctly, which means that anyone with decent Linux knowledge can do it.

I would not trust anyone who claimed they could set up a mail server with no external references.
So you're assuming they cannot possibly have succeeded simply because you failed?
