Then the question becomes: "Who controls the code on the central server?"

If a voting machine contains microchips, then voters have to trust that no malicious entity has managed to gain physical access to those chips since the last audit has taken place.

Even if you trust the auditors to correctly represent the wishes of all voters (and not, say, the wishes of just the two main parties) and trust that they are always given a sufficient budget and sufficient time to do their job properly (despite those parameters being controlled by the very people whose elections are decided by these machines) it seems almost impossible to prevent someone from adding an additional tiny chip[0] while the voting machine is in some locked storage location somewhere. (Again, the people with legitimate access to that storage location are also potentially malicious actors that you are trying to defend against).

Also, the threat model for elections doesn't just include the danger that the result can be altered, but that people might believe that the result has been altered, which can lead to political violence and other unstable dynamics (particularly if one side thinks "we have to cheat this time, because I heard the other side cheated last time"). So it doesn't matter if the "tiny chip from China" theory turns out to be completely false, as the mere plausability of the claim can be enough to cause damage.

It's a great way to create a bubble.

Amusingly, a subreddit I frequent has one notorious user who has abused the 'block' feature to ensure their frequent posts on a particular topic are free of dissenting commenters. They block anyone who even slightly disagrees with their position, this prevents them from seeing his threads, and the comments on each thread become entirely one-sided as a result - and the growing list of blocked people have no idea that those threads even exist.

No I meant the free Outlook.com web based email and everything to do with that.
My feed is already fine; no one is posting hateful politics on the group chats that I am in. The problem is that even if the hateful content doesn't reach me, it's still out there reaching other people. In the US, they ended up with stuff like the Capitol Insurrection. Here in Brazil, as we speak there are disgruntled "stop the steal" extremists blocking roads and calling for a military coup.
I agree.

If I read JRR Tolkien and then go and write a fantasy novel following a unexpected hero on his dangerous quest to undo evil, I haven't infringed, even if I use some of Tolkien's better turns of phrase.

> Your code is not in that thing. That thing has merely read your code and adjusted its own generative code.

Completely incorrect. False dichotomy. It's widely known that AI can and does memorize things just like humans do. Memorization isn't a defense to violating copyright, and calling memorization "adjusting a generative model" doesn't make it stop being memorization.

If you memorized Microsoft's code in your brain while working there and exfiltrated it, the fact that it passed through your brain wouldn't be a defense. Substituting "generative model" for "brain" and the fact that it's a tool used by third parties doesn't change this.

I agree 100%. I think my website[0] would be a perfect candidate for something like this, but I'm not going to apply because taking VC money would mean I won't be able to guarantee to my users that I'll keep the soul of it intact.

So there's 8 billion people in the world approximately. Therefore you're saying that you have reputation (either good or bad) with 8e9 x 0.001 of them. That is 8 million people? Wow, you maintain a very large reputation, actually. I hope it's not bad reputation!

But all jokes aside, you're exactly right. Reputation is only relevant in your closer circles. Having a global reputation score would just be another form of the Twitter blue check mark, but worse.

I want to hear from people that I don't know, the average Joe, not from Hollywood, Fox News persons, or politicians. And I want to hear from reputable people in my circles, but not so much that I'm just hearing from the echo chamber.

Social media is just a really big game that people are playing, where high scores are related to number of followers. So dumb.
Has it made money?

Or is it a warm n fuzzy feeling generator?
I am having trouble reconciling his one tweet that says there is no truth (adjudicating truth is impossible) and the other tweet saying social media companies have the truth of user behavior, and I'm not being flippant.
This is lumping together multiple problems, but IMO a platform that tries to police wrongthink from the top down is guaranteed to fail.

For my part, I don't think anyone anywhere should be prevented from saying the dumbest things that pop into their heads; what I disagree with is giving everyone a global megaphone and then artificially removing the consequences for saying the dumbest things that pop into their heads. :)

If you have a reputation that is tied to the community in which you are participating, and your reputation affects the reach/visibility of your messages in that community, then as you behave at odds with the standards of that community, your reputation goes down, thus limiting your reach. Exactly how to implement that well is the billion dollar question, but at the heart of it all is a simple feedback loop.
Ahem. It's "gilt" auctions, not "guilt" auctions. Guilt auctions would be selling indulgences, or poor people bidding to serve jail sentences for money, or something.

This level of "interaction" took some patience and some time. But it has been worth it.
As far as I can tell there are no hr monitors that can connect to chest straps. If one did then instant purchase. But I like the other tracking and sync of Apple Watch too, that would be a bonus.
IIRC moderators can set their subs to not appear on the front page intentionally. I know that /r/askhistorians did so in order to stem the tide of low effort comments.

+1 for Restic. What I ended up doing was writing a script which implements a file I called `backupctl` on my home server which specifies a set of directories under the home directories to backup. This wound up being a good solution to the problem of "try and save these files from loss due to annoyance" - i.e. a house fire isn't catastrophic, and "irreplaceable" (previous memories) which I want to head off to Restic.

For things like family photos this works really well since if we copy them all over the place across devices, restic will still deduplicate them down to just 1 record when it gets uploaded to Backblaze.
Considering how Nvidia uses GPU RAM to segment their products between high end consumer GPUs (where the 4090 hasn't progressed at all from the 3090 in still having 24 GB RAM) versus the crazy high end ML accelerators, I've recently wondered how it would work out for AMD if they slapped 48+ GB RAM (sufficient to run GPT-NeoX-20B..) on one of their higher end parts (ideally without a large price premium) in order to excite the people trying to run ML on the cheap that are currently bottlenecked by RAM on consumer cards and spur the software development required to get more things running on AMD.

"For anyone else utterly confused about what the heck "grid north" is"

What you seem to be pointing out is a lack of familiarity with real, paper maps or cartography in general. Apps don't seem to bother with grids. Anyone who has used a paper map in anger would probably get the idea intuitively without it being spelled out.

When the battery is fucked on your phone, you'll be damned glad of a map folded ... map when you're bimbling across a moor.

Anyway, we live on an oblate spheroid with extra bumpy bits and any attempt to model it in 2D is always going to involve some imaginative shortcuts and a lot of papering over the cracks. Trying to define a datum or a direction on this thing is a bloody nightmare. Height/altitude is just as weird ...

How much code is necessary to be considered a copyright infringement from an existing code base?

For example let's say I'll take a single frame of animation from a cartoon, The frame contains a mountain, house, and a couple characters although those characters are not integral to the actual cartoon maybe they're extras (villagers and not named characters something like Mickey Mouse for example)

I draw a picture of a lake with a cabin next to it, then start to draw a frontiersman but I trace one of his arms from a villager of that previous frame of animation... Number one am I in danger of copyright infringement (have I hit some arbitrary threshold), and number two: am I causing monetary losses for the cartoon?
Here's an interesting thing: there are other fields too. People tend to forget we need Civil Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Electronic Engineers, etc... This is not the end of the world. STEM professionals were switching careers because of the money and other amenities tech companies were offering (See "a day in x-company" trend on social media).

The way I see it (cynical take) is that there has been a push to get lots of people in this field just to have a bigger pool of workers and lower SWE/Dev Salaries. Heck, small companies can't compete on salary + benefits when trying to pouch SWEs/Devs. For these companies, this scenario will be a God send since they could offer lower salaries (45k ~ 70k) but with the added value of WFH. My prediction: We'll see everything ramping up again in 2024 (Prob. Q1). On the other side, tech companies will start lowering salaries, taking advantage of the uncertainty. Basically win-win for companies.
The definition gets a bit blurry around software, just like the definition of "ownership" does.

Colloquially, "proprietary software" means closed-source. You can definitely put it in context where it means "copyright without license"; but outside that context, the colloquial meaning is enough.

> Study urges caution when comparing neural networks to the brain

They keep telling me this and, yet, I can't stop doing it. The more I learn about neural networks, the more I feel like I understand my own brain (whether accurate or not). And conversely, the more I think about thinking, the better my theories about how I'd build ML-based system to solve specific problems (admittedly, most untested). Neural networks seem like too useful of a model to simply give up because they aren't completely accurate.

Of course, this is all just for personal use - mostly introspection. I wouldn't exactly do medical work based on the model.

It wouldn’t make much sense. Apple is wildly profitable. I suspect they may just be trying to freeze the creation of new positions. I feel like every company is gearing up for a recession which is what will actually cause the recession.
Show HN: Google Sheets Full SQL Select Custom Function
=gsSQL() - Is a sheets custom function that contains the full functionality of SQL SELECT statements. It is used as a custom function OR can be used from your Google Apps Script directly.

It is especially useful to perform Left/Right/Full joins and sub-queries (i.e. SELECT IN) between Sheets and/or ranges. It is also handy and quicker to read/write than the convoluted Google Sheets =QUERY() function.

I have written this for myself, but have made it an open source project for anybody to use.

Any comments, suggestions, improvements or help to improve would be greatly appreciated.
Both of those are effects, not the causes.
not sure that there was 700 billion spend during covid.

but there's nothing wrong with pumping money into an economy that you have forcibly restricted (or that is in a recession for that matter)

the issue is that you need to be in control of where it ends up. UK has an extremely financialised economy where nearly everything anyone uses or does flows up to the top. Therefore taxes needed to be increased and targeted on where the money flowed to to avoid even further accumulation of assets by a small pct of the population.
Correct legally, morally, or both?

Legally a copyright claim seems weak, but they didn't assert one. Some of their claims look stronger than others. The DMCA claim in particular strikes me as strong-ish at first glance, though.

Morally I think this class action is dead wrong. This is how innovation dies. Many of the class members likely do not want to kill Copilot and every future service that operates similarly. Beyond that, the class members aren't likely to get much if any money. The only party here who stands to clearly benefit is the attorneys.

Thanks for the overview.

At the end, your many "words" describe a situation that to me is amazing,

"build the app binaries on a x64 Windows PC, and then copy the built binaries over to an Arm device upon which to run or test the app."

Amazing!

That has no promise of any direct value for me, but it's still amazing and, I guess, maybe still worth my hearing about it.

The article says Delridge is Debian based but appears to be using RPMs? Never seen that. I would have thought the primary advantage of being Debian based is the large repository of packages?
To me the main difference is in challenging circumstances.

All those "taken with an iphone/pixel/samsung" ads are not proving anything, because they can only take that in absolute perfect conditions.

But make the conditions less perfect and suddenly the camera matters more. Things like you need more control of DoF. Or it's a bit dark.

But that's going after perfection. Nobody cares about DoF, noise, colors, or clarity if it's a boring photo.

Even with perfect gear sometimes you have to take the slightly fuzzier photo, or the one where the focus is on the eyelash instead of the iris, because the one where focus was perfect was less... good.
Perhaps, but it's not even an HN/startup point of view. Goons regularly make fun of Lowtax for squandering the large audience (some of whom included popular Internet personalities who would go on to reach greater success and celebrity) and lead SA had. It all plays into the "loser admin" mythos.
I enjoy writing much like I do public speaking; while I'm doing it I enjoy it immensely, but I despise reading my own writing or hearing my own a voice on a recording. As a result, going back and proof reading drafts is my main blocker.

That said, I still force myself to do it once or twice a month in the hopes I'll get used to it.

Analysts predicted ~10% earnings growth in 2008 and it turned out to be -70%

Analysts by and large just extrapolate the trend. If there’s a severe recession, actual earnings could be 190 or even less.

That being said, buying around 3500 or below seems a decent value long term. But I don’t think this is a market where you should wait, instead pick individual companies that are already too cheap and hold them.

I bought a bunch of REITs with 6-8x ffo multiples, low debt, and double digit growth rates. Why bother with the 20x+ PE companies?

There are also many small cap growth companies at 1-2x sales and 30%+ growth rates. Why buy one at 10x sales?

IG bonds yielding 8% close to risk free?

You’d think this would all be obvious, yet major imbalances in valuations exist and is there for the taking.
Externalities and profit pursuit are exactly why it functions at large scale. Those things exist in every economic system, capitalism streamlines how you direct them.

> At-scale, we need some form of production that much more closely measures potential for externalities and allows assigning direct costs to these. Prices are incapable of doing this directly, and the promise of the liberal state to reign in externalities is more and more clearly an empty promise.

That's the role of money and taxes. You price the externalities. The reality is, every capitalist country is perfectly capable of reigning in externalities, the just don't, because we're playing a huge game where we try to maximize our living standards without killing ourselves. If we priced CO2, living wages, and plastic cleanup into our lives, it would be a huge set back to our daily lives.
So you chose to undermine your colleagues and a somewhat decent culture, to gain a lead in a race to the bottom? That's even worse than enabling a company that's already shitty.

If you watch the larger section of the video, you can see there's a whole section labeled as his 'Evil Mr. Beast' persona. Literally at the end of the teaser section he says "I could keep going, but they might believe it" https://youtu.be/YhRRny_sHYw?t=92.

They also hit on subjects such as people claiming Mr Beast ruins people's lives by giving them gifts for which they can't afford to pay the associated taxes. And he makes it clear how he will buy back items so the person just ends up with cash, to pay the taxes and keep. Or they can keep it or sell it themselves.

You can certainly argue his satire was in bad taste. I'm not trying to gas up Mr Beast or claim that he doesn't engage in attention-seeking behavior. Such as this, look at how we're over here talking about him, spreading his brand.

But, as long as he's using that brand to drive views, to have fun making videos and engage in some sort of neo-grassroots philanthropy I don't see how he's the plague of video content.

I am sorry for not bringing any kind of legal perspective here, but:

*Jesus Christ*, I hope I live long enough to see copyright die. Here we are at the cusp of a new paradigm of commanding computers to do stuff for us, right at the beginning of the first AI development which actually impresses me.

And we are fucking bickering about how we were cheated out of $0.00034 because our repo from 2015 might have been used for training.

I am also deeply disappointed in HackerNews; where is that deep hatred of patent trolls and smug satisfaction whenever something gets cracked or pirated now?
The solution is simple - only show users tweets from people they follow. People may say twitter can't make money this way, but with this model you don't need much money. You don't need moderation, or AI, or a massive infrastructure, or tracking, etc. You don't need managers or KPIs or HR, or anything beyond an engineer or two and a server or two. Musk could pay for this forever and it would never be more than a rounding error in his budget.

But this isn't what twitter is for. Twitter is for advertising.
You seem to be demanding that Twitter adopt policies and features despite the fact the market has shown those policies and features will shrink their user base and their profit.
