The aspect of ai that makes me think something related is going on, is how artifacts look in image generation systems like stable diffusion.

Often these systems will have really bizzare artificats, people with 3 arms, etc. However at the same time when you glance at the output without looking carefully you will sometimes miss these artifacts even though they should be absolutely glaring.

They're a mistake because correcting the language level issue with trailing commas to fix diffs was the correct solution. Instead everyone had to convince themselves that they prefer leading commas, which is not how commas are used, over whitespace. Have you ever considered maybe your coworkers are right?
Well, one could certainly phrase such an advice also in some non-misleading way.
I wouldn't say I prefer aspartame to sugar, but to me it's the least bad tasting sugar substitute.

On the rare occasion when I get Diet Coke at a restaurant, it has a really nasty taste because they add saccharine in the fountain version. Compared to the canned version which uses only aspartame, the fountain version is almost undrinkable.
It may shock you to learn that some of us actually, legitimately do care about being inclusive of others in a multitude of ways. It costs nothing to be kind and sharing/respecting another person's pronouns takes no more effort than any other way you might refer to someone. That a few people get tilted over something that does exactly zero harm to them is inconsequential because, like I said, there's no harm.

And you can just use their name and skip over them in an email signature, anyway.
Agreed. But it could go the other way as well. Let's say MS / HB wins and the decision establishes and even less healthy / profitable (?) outcome over the long term.

Remember when Napster was all the rage. And then Jobs and Apple stepped in and set an expectation for the value of a song (at 99 cents)? And that made music into the razor and the iPod the much more profitable blades. Sure it pushed back Napster but artists - as the creator of the goods - have yet to recover.

I'm not saying this is the same thing. It's not. Only noting that today's "win" is tomorrow's loss. This very well could be a case of be careful what you wish for.
I'll try :) Generally speaking focal length is a characteristics of a lens which does not change, if you use smaller sensor you're just "cropping" what given focal length would render. For example if you'd have, let's say 100mpix camera and 24mm lens it would give you different perspective than 85mm evn if you would crop 24mm image to have same angle of view as 85mm.
Logos can still have trademark without having copyright as creativity is not a requirement of trademarks.
Because we focus on abstract problem statements, coded appeals to authority (as if ex-Reddit CEO is that special; there are a few), rather than concrete engineering?

User demand to control what they see is there. It’s why TV was successful; don’t like what’s on History? Check out Animal Planet.

Tech CEOs need their genius validated and refuse to concede anyone else knows what’s best for themselves. What everyone else sees is a problem for a smurt CEO to micromanage to death, of course.
Look up 'Penrose argument'. Personally tho I believe it's the physicists' equivalent of seeing everything as a nail when using a hammer.

If your intent is to create a competing product for profit, chances are that won't be found as fair use, given that determining fair use depends on intent and how the content is used.

Using clips from a movie in a movie review is probably fair use.

Using clips from a movie in knock-off of that movie for profit? Probably not fair use if it's not a parody.

Copilot is not like a movie reviewer using clips to review a movie. Copilot is like a production team for a movie taking clips from another movie to make a ripoff of that movie and selling it.
Lol, like you audit the thousands of lines of code when you compile from source.
Yeah, definitely potential for problems and downsides. And I don't know of any implementations that have gotten it right. And to some degree, I imagine all such systems (online or not) can be gamed, so it's also important for the designers of such a system to not try to solve every problem either.

And maybe you do have some form of moderation, but not in the sense of moderation of your agreement/disagreement with ideas but moderation of behavior - like a debate moderator - based on the rules of the community. Your participation in a community would involve reading, posting as desired once you've been in a community for a certain amount of time, taking a turn at evaluating N comments that have been flagged, and taking a turn at evaluating disputes about evaluations, with the latter 2 being spread around so as to not take up a lot of time (though, having those duties could also reinforce your investment in a community). The reach/visibility of your posts would be driven off your reputation in that community, though people reading could also control how much they see too - maybe I only care about hearing from more established leaders while you are more open to hearing from newer / lower reputation voices too. An endorsement from someone with a higher reputation counts more than an endorsement from someone who just recently joined, though not so huge of a difference that it's impossible for new ideas to break through.

As far as who measures, it's your peers - the other members of the community, although there needs to be a ripple effect of some sort - if you endorse bad behavior, then that negatively effects your reputation. If someone does a good job of articulating a point, but you ding them simply because you disagree with that point, then someone else can ding you. If you consistently participate in the community duties well, it helps your reputation.

The above is of course super hand-wavy and incomplete, but something along those lines has IMO a good shot of at least being a better alternative to some of what we have today and, who knows, could be quite good.
Funny, I did my first interview with them a week ago.

Hey, I said the same thing about APIs, but here we are.

Edit: Actually, the Supreme Court declined ruling whether APIs are copyrightable, but they did say that if they are, reusing them like google reused the java apis in android would fall under fair use. Given that lower courts did think that APIs should be copyrightable, we don't know if they are anymore.

Optical illusions is one thing, but, I don't know, "Predictably Irrational", "Thinking fast and slow" or just whatever is happening all around.

We do not understand our data.

In general yes, I believe most people will only accept thinking machine when it can reproduce all our pitfalls. Because if we see something and the computer doesn't, then it clearly still needs to be improved, even if it's an optical illusion.

But our bugs aren't sacred and special. They just passed Darwin's QA some thousands years ago.
This seems very fragile, to me, without support from the application whose output is converted to JSON.

minor updates to command-line tools can and do subtly alter the textual output of the tool, and the outputs of these tools are not standardized.

This is a step towards "objects passing messages" as originally conceived by Alan Kay, if my incomplete understanding of what he's said is correct, and that's a good thing, I think. Objects passing messages around is a very solid model for computing, to me. Note that I am stupid and don't understand much, if I'm honest.
>Tesla is also amazing at iteration. They are iterating faster then Toyota. In 2017 Model 3 had a lot of issues, if you look at Model 3 in 2021 the internals are very different.

This actually undermines your point to a certain extent. Tesla is great at iterating but that often comes at a cost to quality. It is very hard to manage reliability when parts and suppliers are constantly churning.

"Older models typically fare better in reliability, as companies tend to make tweaks and redesigns to solve known problems, while sticking with the same parts and suppliers.

But Tesla deviates from this approach, Fisher explained. “At almost random times during the year Tesla will switch major components, suppliers or sensors and other units. The more you change, the greater the chances you’re going to have some problems.” [1]

Nobody is laundering away proprietary livenses, because that code is not open source and not in public github repos. And OSS capabilities are now present in copilot, which is neither free nor open. Furthermore these contributions are making their way into proprietary code and the OSS licensing becomes even further watered down. This is the epitome of what copyleft is against!
That's not really right.

Copilot isn't just "displaying" something. Copilot has mined the collective efforts of developers in an effort to produce derivative works, without permission, re-distributing that value without giving anything back.

It'd be like suing Adobe because photoshop comes bundled with a your holiday photos, without permission, and uses those to in a "family photos" filter.

Large scale mining of value and then selling it without due credit or reward for those you stole that value from is plain theft.
Windows does not have a separate NTFS boot partition. MSR is not it (check the size and content). Windows Boot Manager and BCD are stored on the EFI partition. Windows Boot Manager itself does understand NTFS: it loads winload.efi, ntoskrnl.exe and core drivers from the system root itself. This way, Windows is not going to have the common linux problem ("update failed, /boot too small").

Two partitions are needed only for Bitlocker; one has to be unencrypted.

Similarly with Apple: they use APFS subvolume for boot files. They do not bother with multiple partitions and static allocations, guessing, what size is going to be OK. They can use as much or as little space as they need.

--

With Linux, I've been using btrfs subvolume for /boot. It works with "normal" distributions, grub complains (it cannot write there; I find that OK). The dynamic nature of the space used is great. It doesn't work with ostree-based distributions (Fedora Silverblue & its ilk); ostree cannot generate proper BLS and grub.cfg for subvolumes.

Ehh, I'm generally hesitant to call bullshit, but I'm afraid I've got to do that here.

The TL;DR is that they win on a rules technicality. (I think by using a ruleset which isn't used by KataGo)

> However, KataGo plays a pass move before it has finished securing its territory, allowing the adversary to pass in turn and end the game. This results in a win for the adversary under the standard Tromp-Taylor ruleset for computer Go, as the adversary gets points for its corner territory (devoid of victim stones) whereas the victim does not receive points for its unsecured territory because of the presence of the adversary’s stones.

KataGo has finished securing its territory under virtually all rulesets but Tromp-Taylor. Tromp-Taylor is a fine ruleset (courtesy of our own https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=tromp), but not one you'd use to, like, play against someone on the internet, or in real life.

When they induce KataGo to play bad moves, like Lee Sedol did in the only game he won against AlphaGo, they'll have my attention.

I agree with the basic idea that we want reputation, but the classic concept of reputation as a single number in the range (-inf, inf) is useless for solving real-world problems the way we solve them in the real world.

Why? Because my reputation in meatspace is precisely 0 with 99.9% of the world's population. They haven't heard of me, and they haven't heard of anyone who has heard of me. Meanwhile, my reputation with my selected set of friends and relatives is fairly high, and undoubtedly my reputation with some small set of people who are my enemies is fairly low. And this is all good, because no human being can operate in a world where everyone has an opinion about them all the time.

Global reputation is bad, and giving anyone a megaphone so they can chime into any conversation they want is bad, full stop. Megaphone-usage should not be a democratic thing where a simple majority either affirms or denies your ability to suddenly make everyone else listen to you. People have always been able to speak to their tribes/affinity groups/whatever you want to call them without speaking to the entire state/country/world, and if we want to build systems that will be resilient then we need to mimic that instead of pretending that reputation is a zero-sum global game.
Not really a programmer (sysadmin) but I've tried the literate way with org-mode for my stuff and I use LaTeX for all "pretty docs" needs, however while for document production LaTeX excel literate programming AS A MERE CONCEPT for me does not work that much:

- simple things became uselessly lengthy and prolix

- complex things became too big to be easy read, while the equivalent "pure-code with comments" and a small new developers doc while fail to give an equally deep knowledge of the code base is FAR more quick and easy accessed.

Maybe it's my style, I do not know but while I do not feel LaTeX as painful, since most my docs are of the same kind so a template/class produced once with calm get reused issueless, I can't really digest literate programming...
I worked in tech, not legal. I have no idea about what is or isn't shared with law enforcement or anyone else. That's why I didn't address that part.

The frustrating part is people making claims about issues where they don't actually have datapoints to back it up. I try to avoid doing that.

Depends on the license. If it's MIT and you serve the license, no, you are not infringing at all. A trimmed version of MIT for the relevant bits:

It demonstrates that it stifles copying. That may make it easier for the copier to innovate, but doesn’t dispute the main argument for having copyright protection: that, without the protection of copyright, the code wouldn’t have been written.

These models can actually output images that can be extremely close to the material present in training models:

I also don't know if I would anthropomorphize ML to that degree. It's a poor metaphor and isn't really analogous to a human brain, especially considering our current understanding, or lack thereof, of the brain, and even the limited insight we have into how some of these models work from the people who work on them.
Yeah, definitely. We're working on adding a guide[1] like that to haskell.org as we speak :)

Yeah, most people take the promotion spamming as the main one, but you can also refer to some forms of shitposting as spamming (join any twitch chat and watch whatever the current spam emoji is flood by) - but the second is more almost a form of cheering perhaps.

If you wanted to divide it further I guess you could discuss "in-group spamming" and "out-group spamming" where almost all of the promotional stuff falls in the second but there are still some in the first group.

I don't think this is a good example of the value of these things. You can just as easily do that same thing with advanced text editor features. Sublime for example supports multi-cursor editing. Just hold alt+shift+arrow keys to add a cursor, then type in the brackets you want. Ctrl+D can be used to select the next occurrence of the current selection with multiple cursors, built-in commands from the command pallete can do anything to your current selection (e.g. convert case), etc.

All of that efficiency without having to pay a monthly subscription, wasting electricity on some AI model, and worrying about the legal/moral implications.
If only. If you had 3, 100w solar panels on top of your ev van it would take about two months of charging to go 200 miles. That’s assuming clear skies and parking in full sun.

It's ideal for asset tracking - you can fit a GPS fix, timestamp, and accuracy estimate (based on # of satellites visible) into 12 bytes, which is enough to ping once per minute and still only use half your allocated bandwidth. If your asset tags call in every 5 minutes or once per hour lots of options open up.

2 way communications aren't much more demanding because most of what you need can be done with lookup tables, and there aren't that many different commands you would need to send to an asset tag for local scanning. If you want to do person-to-person, 2 bytes per word is sufficient for a fairly large vocabulary (especially a tightly specified one like military brevity codes) - not exactly chatty but sufficient for many operational/emergency purposes.

95% of players would most likely just copy a script from the wiki to minmax.

There are some games where the core gameplay is programming, but those are their own niche.

>Wouldn't this be a great way to encourage young people to learn programming?

I don't see how it would. To be quite honest most this is how we teach kids software ideas are completely out of touch.

Nobody wants to play a game about shooting aliens and flying around a galaxy, but then suddenly has to figure out how to learn some stupid scripting language to minmax.

The reality is that most children (and adults) do not care about software and never will. You shouldn't be appealing to everyone, you should be appealing to those who show interest and engagement. Give them something to experiment and break, that is how you learn.
If the Brian is using some physics we don’t understand that’s something new not Quantum Mechanics. QM a specific theory of how the world operates, if something else is involved it doesn’t fall under that theory it’s [insert new theory’s name here].

I really don’t get why everyone wants the Brian to operate on some new QM effect other than peoples perception that a 100 year old theory is somehow cutting edge, spooky, or something. Perhaps it’s that the overwhelming majority of people who talk about QM don’t actually understand it even a little bit. Odd bits of QM are already why lasers, LED’s, and transistors work. You use incites from the theory everyday in most electronic devices, but it’s just as relevant for explaining old incandescent bulbs we just had other theories that seemed to explain them.
Author here!

Definitely started as a software engineer, but in a safety critical field (avionics), at a company/team that in my opinion has an incredible "systems culture" (Garmin Avionics). During onboarding, we were taught WHY we needed to do so many things for the safety critical process.

After leaving safety critical, and going to much more start-uppy companies, and realizing that SE knowledge was not widespread, and how to put the "easy but good bits" in place quickly, is pretty much how I ended up where I am.
My second statement answers that question. I don't want moderation advice from someone who was involved in a platform that purposely sets moderation policies to create political polarization. A comment by someone below sums it up nicely.

In yishan's defense however, I am not sure if those problems with reddit started before or after he left.
