On the narrow road to challenge a conviction, when is a vehicle “inadequate”?
We’re Matt and Eric and we want to share the joys of AI storytelling. We know many in the HN community have played with generative AI models, but perhaps not in the context of creative writing.

So we built InfiniteMonkeys, a super simple web app that uses GPT-3 with parameters tuned to generate entertaining short stories. We hope it makes you laugh and feel excited about the future of this nascent technology!

Building this was also a ton of fun and showed us how frictionless it is to turn ideas into simple web apps these days. The MVP only took 1 day to build. For a behind-the-scenes of how we did it, I blogged about it at: https://medium.com/@mjbleong/87e061e18baf

Please give us any feedback!
Also, feel free to email me (Dan, CTO) directly if you have any questions: dan-at-ambrook.com
At the moment there's no legal protection for style in an of its self. Additionally there maybe (and should be) if this style-capture actually displaces the artists they're apeing. But I don't see that happening. IMHO its a tempest in a teacup.

Why? Because Ai generated "art" is a soupy mess and real life human artists can speak and understand colloquial language, work quickly, and develop new styles based on new direction.

But then again maybe we're looking at the death of a widespread industry like when gigantic industrial looms came on the scene, but I highly doubt it.

Then again, last of all, I do see a future where AIs generate full feature length photo-real movies in minutes based on prompts and cheaply.

"Freedom of Speech at any cost"

Isn't this paradoxical? Our values don't exist in a vacuum they exist because they're believed at a macro world to make the world better, it seems if you tangibly think they make the world worse, or in your words "result in loss of liberty, life and happiness" the cost isn't worth it.
I guess the good faith interpretation is they want out of the news game and don’t see their core competency as Netflix for news Which honestly makes some sense, it has almost nothing to do with Twitter as a platform and gets them into the world of bullshit content licensing.
So she is claiming the flat corprate style, but with more saturation, as her own? Thats ballsy. It's a style for sure, but one based on looking oversimplified and generic imo. No suprise its easy to emulate, and a common averaging result. Its not as likely an actually distinct style, unless massively popular, would have this issue. That said, the greater question is no less valid; what elemens of style do we own, and how will ownership manifest moving forward when many new works use ai images as a starting poit, which are then based on other artists work, some of them being ai generated. Will it become a feedback loop sooner, or later, and what will that look like?
"Inevitable" is the last desperate cry of those who have given up
thinking.
I'm oversimplifying it a bit, but anything that hasn't reached stable this year is still using v1.1.1 (and therefore unaffected).

Ubuntu v22.04 is vulnerable, but any before it is not. Debian is good (except bookworm which is currently in testing), Fedora (<36) is good, RHEL/CentOS (<9), Arch...

So on top of being not as serious as Heartbleed, servers that are a bit longer in operation (but still well within their support cycle) don't need patching.

EDIT just to add this quote from their blog post (https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2022/11/01/email-address-o...):

> We did release an update to OpenSSL 1.1.1, namely 1.1.1s, also on 1st November 2022, but this is a bug fix release only and does not include any security fixes.
Honestly, I always found this model terrible also. To me it would imply that e.g. introverts would arrive at a social event active, cheerful, outspoken, comfortable and then as the event progressed they would gradually become quieter, less comfortable, more detached. And extroverts the other way around - would arrive tired (assuming they were alone earlier) and gain steam as the event went on.
I can't think of a single person in my life persistently matching either of those.
If anything, it seems to better model person's reaction to alcohol.
Yes, sort of like disallowing someone to DDoS a server using their own computer on their own time with their own money.

This is not about one person playing around in private, it's about thousands of people (potentially millions) instantaneously generating art expressly intended to copy someone's specific style and publicly releasing the results.
Could Scroll be redone as a new startup?
In Japan, game companies forbade programmers from putting their real names in their games. It was an anti-poaching move, the studios didn't want their programmers hired out from under them.

So the game programmers put aliases in instead. Hence why you see such strange names in games like Yu2, Nakazoo, Faw, S.Miyahon (who is actually Shigeru Miyamoto), etc.
Windows was the dominant operating system for developers for nearly two decades.

Up until about a decade ago, Microsoft arguably made the world's only good IDE. (ignoring some relics from the 80s!)

It isn't as if Windows is some developer wasteland.
It takes awhile, but one can already create the personalized Twitter experience Elon cited in his letter to advertisers.

You just Block everyone who disagrees with you, even slightly, as well as any nut job you see. It takes a while, but eventually, the only wrong or insane tweets on your TL are someone you Follow, "X", trashing someone of the wrong persuasion, "Y". So you Block Y.

It does get a little boring, but still, you're aware of what the morons on the other side are saying. You can't avoid it.

It's similar to watching MSNBC but not Fox, or vice versa.
you are right, mea culpa :)
He doesn't "need" Twitter to ever be worth anywhere near what he paid. As long as he can make the debt service payments, he can die with Twitter still in the red and he'll die with more in the bank and a higher quality of life than you, me, and Taleb.

All the usual business calculus kind of goes out the window when you have a single owner that only needs to stay afloat and may not care about maximizing profit or value.
Hunter Biden's laptop isn't news. It is a US-centric celebrity story.

Thus all reporting on it was tabloid style sensationalism.
I disagree that creative individuals have to do anything explicit here: copyright law is pretty clear that the burden of proof of right is with the copier, not the copied.
I expect most artists won't be sending invoices for licensing fees just yet, but corps surely will bleed dry anyone that produce unlicensed derivative works that generates any income.
You are right, it's a bit too aspirational right now. The "everything you say" part is just for Zoom meetings right now. Once we implement local transcription with OpenAI Whisper then I think it makes sense to expand beyond meetings to things like YouTube videos, Podcasts, Audiobooks, or anything else you might want to search by "what you've heard".

I don't want the network to decide what speech I want or not. Just provide me with easy to use moderation tools and I'll moderate my own feed. How about give me access to the feed itself so third parties can produce alternative moderation tools on top as well.

FCC commissioner says government should ban TikTok
I am not familiar at all with Backblaze's storage software, but I am fairly familiar with Ceph. You are not going to get 6Gbps out of a spinner. Maybe, 1.5 or 2, if it is a fairly fast drive and the data is all sequential. Plus I believe they uses SAS expanders, not multiple HBAs, so the 6Gbps bus is divided further. So they probably can saturate maybe half the drives at a time, if not more, given their bandwidth. They would probably keep them spinning, spin up is pretty power intensive, and it is physically hard on the drives.
IMO twitter has always been for losers
Interesting argument, but it'd be outputting fully sounding word salad garbage.

Q: The 3.0.7 release was announced as fixing a CRITICAL vulnerability, but CVE-2022-3786 and CVE-2022-3602 are both HIGH. What happened to the CRITICAL vulnerability?

A: CVE-2022-3602 was originally assessed by the OpenSSL project as CRITICAL as it is an arbitrary 4-byte stack buffer overflow, and such vulnerabilities may lead to remote code execution (RCE).

During the week of prenotification, several organisations performed testing and gave us feedback on the issue, looking at the technical details of the overflow and stack layout on common architectures and platforms.

Firstly, we had reports that on certain Linux distributions the stack layout was such that the 4 bytes overwrote an adjacent buffer that was yet to be used and therefore there was no crash or ability to cause remote code execution.

Secondly, many modern platforms implement stack overflow protections which would mitigate against the risk of remote code execution and usually lead to a crash instead.
> Put any European country in the spot Russia's in, they would collapse in weeks.

No European country would ever be in the spot Russia's in, because they wouldn't start such a pointless war of conquest for some autocrat's pride. They used to back in the 19th century, because that's when many of them were still autocracies.

Russia is the only remaining colonial power in Europe, and one of the few remaining dictatorships, and its performance is not exactly a compelling argument. Russia is the problem. Autocracies are not efficient. They are unbelievably wasteful on several levels. Not only are the Russian government and military inefficient, their goals are also wasteful: we're seeing entire countries destroyed, thousands of people killed, billions wasted on weapons, billions more in houses and infrastructure destroyed, because of one autocrat.

I agree. Set theory is more powerful and flexible than taxonomic trees (although not perfect). It's why I believe the future is Table Oriented Programming (TOP), where code blocks are either in or managed by RDBMS. Code-centric tools rely too much on file trees and other trees. If you instead try to design your stack and/or language around sets, you'll probably end up with something similar to TOP.

There's been a number of instances where people did precisely that--they just sent a bunch of taskrabbits out to buy large numbers of tickets in lots of different locations. Very time-consuming, but still profitable.
Good blog article. I think if you combine Reagan's strong dollar policy and political deregulation of banking, you get both deindustrialization and consolidation of the banking/investment banking/insurance, and some of the extreme wealth concentration correlated with it.

That concentrated wealth is then used to influence (and potentially capture) the political process from cradle-to-grave - from campaign finance, to lobbying, to cushy board seats and the like upon leaving office. Making it politically difficult or impossible to fix or mitigate various problems like Too Big To Fail, deindustrialization, etc.

It seems the only way out is either via technological innovation like additive manufacturing, or via another big banking crisis that doesn't get bailed out, but rather resolved like the S&L crisis.

I totally get it – I've watched it all unfold over the last couple of decades.

But everything I see since Nadella has taken over, tells me that they aren't just paying lip service, that they have just realized nearly a decade ago that it's good business to embrace (loaded word) Linux if they have any chance for Azure to succeed, and their moves suggest that's a core part of their future.

Discrete categorization of continuous phenomena is always going to be inherently arbitrary. It's important to keep in mind what your goals are. This sort of categorization shouldn't be done with the goal of finding some sort of fundamental platonic truth; that's not going to work. Rather, discrete categorization is performed simply because humans find these categories useful when communicating.

The fuzzy line between truck and car isn't a problem when you approach categorization with this mindset. If you see a bank robber fleeing in an El Camino, you can tell the cops they fled in a "truckish car" or a "carish truck"; you don't have to neatly categorize an El Camino as one or the other to get your point across, but the arbitrary categories still help you communicate the idea.

If you're tagging pictures and come across an El Camino, and you don't have a "coupe utility vehicle" tag, you can simply tag the El Camino as both a truck and a car.

The problem I have with this is that meetings and discussions—exactly the kind of thing you would want to recall—involve more parties than just yourself. But rewind appears designed to record everything in the background and be left on, not enabled manually when you want it. That means in every conversation you have you’re either going to need to get consent to record (which is super weird for 90% of quick chats) or just do it without consent which is creepy and probably illegal in a lot of places.
>but it's also designed for longer form conversation in a way Twitter can't possibly replicate

Reddit sucks at long form conversation. Every thread is stale and gone within 24 hours, so long lived conversations are basically impossible. Thus every topic that comes up is a rehash of the same super basic high level points over and over and over and over and over again.

Doesn't even need to be AI. I've done something very similar to this with text mining, regex, and some xquery/shell. The biggest problem, though, is convincing people that taxonomy doesn't belong in filenames, but that's built in to specifications. Kind of a brick wall, that.

To be fair, I guess it's a product of being an organization of three million people who are globally dispersed, working in every conceivable environment. There are a lot of edge cases. So while smart card login was better for my case, other people worked in situations where username / password and SMS authentication was a dream. At the same time, we want everything to be uniform and interchangeable, because we've seen that patchworks of incompatible solutions can be even worse.

I thought this too, working at a company mostly focused on jQuery/Rails as a foundation for a lot of the work I was doing.

I've been searching for a "full-stack" Web development job for the past 8 months this year, and aside from industry incompatibilities, the biggest headwind I'm facing finding an employer that recognizes front-end development is so much bigger than how you arrange your JavaScript to enable interactivity.

I have experience with React; my last career position allowed me to go from 0-100% confidence/competence with Svelte in 4 months. But employers want to see some equivalent of "3-5 years experience with React" and structure their shitty technical assessments similarly, and I've really had a problem trying to find the right way to show I'm just as qualified.

I also happen to believe that politician is a severe thorn in the country's side… But for some reason I am not breaking into their home or advocating such.

Why is that? The intuitive answer is that the information we are operating on is not the cause of the attack. The idea that we need to police information to the point where crazy people do not get ideas is a nonstarter.
