I totally agree. Just like if a new car came on the market which claimed to have an engine that gets 100 mpg and wasn't the size of a golf cart; there are many other factors that go into choosing a car (comfort, quietness, safety, price, etc.).

But you can bet if such a car was announced, a whole bunch of people would be lined up to take it for a test drive to see if it really got the claimed mileage. If it met those claims, you can also bet that investors would line up to help iron out any kinks in the system that might keep customers from buying it.

Why is this not true for data engines as well?
The LaTeX examples given by ChatGPT are also... strange? Nobody would write the same differential equation twice with two different notations right after each other (it uses y' and dy/dx in two stacked aligned equations)
Facebook claims to have lost $10 billion due to a single iOS prompt giving users the option of blocking tracking. If side-loading were allowed on iOS, Facebook would have 10 billion reasons to push users to side-load their app, a pressure that doesn't exist at all on Android, which is tracking-happy.

Since Google lets most apps do what they want in most ways, there's not much motivation for bypassing the App Store--unless you're greedy like Epic. Since Apple restricts apps more with each passing year, the motivation is much higher, in addition to the identical 30% fees.
Ask HN: What would you do if you were the first to create human-level AI?
It's a fun thought experiment. Let's say you were the first person to create a human-level artificial intelligence, What would you do? What do you think is the smartest thing to do?

We've all read classic short stories like The Last Question[0]. And there's actually a chance that this will happen within our lifetimes.

It’s not just the chargers it’s the amps. They gotta come from somewhere, travel down a wire and then be issued by the charger. Carrying an engine avoids these problems. Switzerland is pointing out they’re short of amps.

Gyms often ban glass bottles because of the hazard they create when dropped/shattered.

I personally use a hard (i.e. not squeezable) plastic bottle, that I fill with cold/cool water just before use. As long as the water has not been sitting in the bottle for days or in the sun or in a hot car, etc. I don't think there is enough potential chemical leeching to worry about.
Agreed, but I'm not sure we're anywhere near the tipping point. Apple users really love Apple and will (nearly) always interpret Apple's actions with the absolute best of intentions/benefit of the doubt. The company is not stupid. Like most of silicon valley they will always come up with some justification for doing what they want to do, and odds are good that they'll actually convince themselves that those are the real reasons.
Yeah, they were technically a Bahamas entity and fall under the jurisdiction of that country, technically, but likely under US jurisdiction as well in order to operate in the country. There's a whole really confusing business entity diagram I saw floating around somewhere, but can't find it offhand. But the way they were structured was obviously for tax havens and to blur their financial ties between entities. I'll be honest in that it goes above my head as I'm not deep into finance and regulations, however seeing statements about the level of fraud being unprecedented by the overseer of the Enron bankruptcy (who's overseeing FTX bankruptcy as well) is not very reassuring.

And yes, they did require full human-verified KYC to access any exchange functionality. Actually that was a downside, because the day they filed Chapter 11, their site was compromised and who knows who potentially accessed the PII from all their customers in that mess.
Release it how? They can't load it on an iPhone without Apple's cert.

The only path would be to require jail breaking and most consumers trust that even less.

1. With T-Bill rates up to 4%, Tether is now making more money from interest than ever before, in the ball park of $100m per month. More than a SoFi or Moneygram with a tenth of the employees.

2. Their customers are institutions, not you and me, and if the Tether can't pay out 1:1 to their customer (like a Binance) the institution will be the one with solvency issues.

3. The peg is a natural pressure release. In case of a USDT bank run, weak hands will "accept" less USD for their USDT without any involvement from Tether. After the FUD, peg can be restored by normal market forces. Bad for trust and reputation, but not a mortal wound for Tether, as it has dealt with many in the past.

You mean like the Microsoft gaming store does already?
What was the benefit of using crypto instead of a card or direct deposit etc?
That was tolerable a decade ago when it was only about iTunes songs and power-ups in kids' games.

But now more and more of the economy is moving online, and the Apple/Google duopoly gets to tax everything.
I can't fully explain this part yet, but I am currently expecting that I will see the issue again even with my desktop disconnected.

I am also probably wrong about it being 300Mbps to AT&T. It was probably 300Mbps of multicast traffic internally.
We embeded a lot of videos for animated diagrams. I think we need to disable autoplay, at least on mobile.
Not sure I follow or just have contradicting experiences. Executive's personal bottom lines are usually tied to the Company's.

The company's goals are usually a derivative of customer goals. Why are Customers not considered?

Any ways, I like being individual focused, but we all work for this Company for a reason (interest?) and so we should probably just say something like; the company goals should be such that they can be reasonably accomplished with <100% of available resources, time and efforts. Leaving time for some independent individual development. Something like what Google theoretically did with their 80/20 policy. It's up to you to figure out what the right X/Y mix is.
Your initial (implicit) claim was that Ashlee Vance is an unbiased observer, which has yet to be substantiated.

How can we know that Vance is self-censoring? We can't. I'm sure they believe everything they're saying, but if they believed something different they would not be touring the Neuralink labs.

And that's the argument put forward in 1700s and 1800s for not extending the vote beyond those with land.

Maybe employees will make intelligent informed decisions about who is actually capable as an executive. Maybe they will make more effective decisions themselves if they have a greater say and commitment to the company.

Maybe not. Maybe we shall fall into totalitarian dystopias and the dream of universal suffrage will enter myth.

It's bizarre to call any of it logical when 15 years ago this wasn't a problem. The App Store is at the center of this, and if Apple refuses to cede power it will be a long winter for them.
I misplayed the r from later in whoishiring from the end to after who..

That read a lot differently than I thought it would. lol
The fees are closer to 3% or a bit under these days. And that's for a very robust and mature infrastructure, not just on the merchant side, but the buyer side. Credit cards do a lot more than just send payments, you get all the benefits of things like dispute resolution, rewards points and the bug/feature of spending money you don't have in hand. If you go to a fully-baked crypto payment provider like Coinbase, they still charge 1% for a far less sophisticated product. The cost of all the things that crypto doesn't do get shifted to consumers and merchants indirectly.
Very tough calls on art, or scenes without a lot of shadow and light and geometric objects, like certain nature scenes. I tended to err toward AI.

You correctly classified 22 of 30 (73%) images!

You identified 13 of 14 (92%) AI-generated images.

You identified 9 of 16 (56%) human-made images.

I would be more reliable between "photo versus AI", for certain kinds of photos where you can look for certain features being wrong.
He didn't specify difference between de-caf coffee vs regular - only coffee vs non-coffee - so might be something other than caffeine that effects smell?
wait, you had to correct it for it to produce a working regex?
Coinbase PR got you.

Apple is asking for 30% of fees charged, not amounts exchanged. It’s like if a bank app charged you $1 to deposit $100; Apple would want $0.30, not $30.

Still debatable and I’ve got no sympathy for Apple, but this kind of OMG they want to take 30% of all cash flows response is exactly the misleading PR people are trying to gin up.

EDIT: here is what Coinbase themselves say:

Apple’s claim is that the gas fees required to send NFTs need to be paid through their In-App Purchase system
How is an overexpensive electronic waste device an improvement over a simple mechanical timer in your kitchen that will last decades or the builtin timer/programmation of your oven?

Its so interesting seeing how these txt2img models represent text. Its sort of like how someone who doesn't know how to read might represent language, as shapes instead of characters and words.

That said, it would be a fun experiment to try an img2txt model on these individual catalog items to find out what they actually do (or image search)

That's paracetamol for the rest of the world in case you were confused like I was.
I think a distinction can be made in that you never really need to use unsafe operations in python or Java. In rust, you need unsafe. Just about every data structure in the stdlib uses unsafe.

I think it's fair to call Rust a memory safe language. But I don't think it's on the same tier as a fully managed language like python.
An expert recommended it above most things. They like some insects above all, but sunflower seeds mostly. They pretend to like bread, but they usually hide it in a stash and don’t eat it unless they really hungry.
lots of criticism for brave in this thread. they are the best privacy browser at the moment based on leakage tests for default settings. they got a working add-blocker by default. they have privacy preserving ads because of local in browser matching, your data never leaves the browser for the ads, the ads come to you! they even pay you for watching the ads, and enable you to support creators.

I feel we finally have a privacy respecting browser normal people and tech enthousiast can use, and it puzzles me how it's painted here. let's stay objective

if you don't like the web3 stuff or the blockchain based rewards don't use it. But the web3 space is booming and brave has been nice way to interact with it.
> because I care about my privacy and dont want a huge list of my financial transactions available to visa/mastercard/paypal/the government, and I don't want to schlep to the gas station to buy a prepaid debit card with cash, which is the only other way to maintain a semblance of financial privacy if you want to buy things online.
You mean I can't just go on CNBC and say my forecast is X?
If the computer was a bicycle for the mind then Stable Diffusion is LSD for the computer.

Who cares how theoretically soulless it is under the matrix transforms, the fact is that this spits out the weird, and us humans chew it up and spit it right back.

>You should just come out and say that you’re against subsidizing the wrong people.

The "wrong people" that OP is against subsidizing is the fraudulent higher education business in the United States. Government should subsidize some things, where markets fail (markets are just a tool, after all), but in this case we're going to be giving these universities and institutions a green light to do whatever the hell they want with tuition costs. They'll raise them again, for no real reason, because why the hell wouldn't they? Uncle Sam will pay for it.

Perhaps we should just nationalize the endowments instead.
Seems pretty clear to me.

> Starting from move 2, players can claim their opponent’s last move was a top engine move. This immediately ends the game.

> Claims are settled by asking the chess engine to evaluate the position before the contested move. If the chess engine suggests the opponent’s move, the claimant wins the game. If not, their opponent wins instead.

So your suggestion would be a completely different game.
That is the next “logical” step for people to claim without regard for whether it’s true or not. People will believe anything that confirms their biases.
Any comparisons to https://www.tonic.ai?

> Based on policies you define, individual fields can be encrypted/decrypted...
Are the policies something like "retool" gets tokenized or faked data back, and the main app gets everything? Or is it more granular even within the main app? Like can I teach JumpWire about my app's users and our AuthZ ruleset?

> or they partition the data by putting some fields in a data vault and others in the main database
I was considering using VGS to tokenize sensitive data, but I prefer self-hosted and reasonably auditable code for such sensitive systems. Is that the case here?

> We’ve seen entire teams dedicated to just maintaining ETL pipelines for scrubbing PII into secondary databases!

I do this to make staging environments more realistic, which makes them double as debugging tools on production when you can't give engineers any sort of direct production access. We whitelist non-sensitive fields (most importantly foreign keys), and fill in the rest with faked data. The app looks like production, but if all the users were bots who were saying nonsense at each other. At my scale (50 person company), it works reasonably well enough with just me maintaining it.
> The point of crypto is that trading parties don't have to trust each other and have no recourse to fix issues post payment.

You trust random people on the street?

This comment falls apart because your premise here is wrong. All trading parties (and the individuals that make them up) do NOT trust each other without shared history.

Crypto as a base layer recognizes this - the base layer is supposed to be trustless with game theoretic rules to keep the system functional and secure.

Layers on top of crypto can have all the rules and functionality you desire. That includes KYC, that includes reversing transactions, that includes wallet recovery through social multi sig mechanisms.
“Sink a carrier” is, in terms of how hard it is, somewhere around “bomb White House”. It’s absurdly hard to do even for a well-equipped nation state.

Also, a huge problem with modern Russian hardware is that it’s largely vaporware. That’s why they are using all that USSR-era equipment.
Don't forget Hal Finney :)
care to mention some of these companies that have enough goodwill?. Hopefully it is not Twitter and facebook because they lead the attack on app store policy ( beside epic of course)
Not sure why your comment is downvoted but you have a point..

The difference is that religious couples should always be open to life so in a sense they are always "trying" as contraceptives are not allowed (except for NFP) hence their chances go up. Further they are encouraged to married sooner than later sense they should abstain from sex until then.

It makes sense that younger couples having lots of sex without contraception will end up having more children than their counterparts.
Baudrillard's visison of the hyperreal is becoming overwhelmingly true and at an exponential rate. I envision that soon we won't even need historical documents because we can just auto-generate documents based on historical data. Which will then become the new historical documents, in a process that keeps folding in on itself until the bubble our immediate reality shrinks and shrinks until there is only the smallest part of the inner ear vaguely recalling that gravity is acting upon us, while the rest of our senses and thoughts are wrapped in the warm blanket of an auto-generated fugue.
Is your engineering team productive?
Apologies, looks like we underestimated how heavy the autoplaying diagrams would be. If you could try again in about 5 minutes and see if you still have the problem I'd appreciate it!

Sorry for the hassle.
ChatGPT's reasons not to commit suicide, in the style of a pirate
I can't explain this part yet. I was asleep when this happened, so I wasn't even using my phone. I may be wrong about 300Mbps being to the AT&T. public IP, as my router shows a much lower rate. That might have just been the total traffic I was seeing internally on my private network from multicast.
I doubt the parent has access to American war plans, but it's reasonable to guess that the US would prefer for China not to have intact TSMC plants because it provides enormous leverage. It's the same as blowing up Nordstream II. This is standard war stuff, and if the US is at war with China, heavy sanctions, etc, we wouldn't be able to buy the chips anyway. Why not drop a cruise missile on it?

Personally I hope such a thing doesn't happen. If I had to guess, Taiwan will eventually come under mainland China's control, but I hope this is done very slowly and in a bloodless way following a referendum by the Taiwanese themselves (e.g., only after certain guarantees of autonomy are made and the Taiwanese opt for the 'easy route'). I doubt mainland China will accept this thorn in their side indefinitely.
I don't really understand how the M1 chip is any different than other speciality SOC offerings though.
Send fiat overseas and let me know how that goes. Crypto has plenty of issues but calling people who use a decentralized form of currency as "idiots" doesn't paint you as the sharpest tool in the shed.
Yeah our volume is intentionally small right now, as we closely monitor performance. We'll be scaling up as we feel good about what we see.

In the same breath where Biden calls himself a "proud pro-labor president," he calls on Congress to break a strike. [1] The hypocrisy will make your head spin.

What's the incentive for the railroad companies to bargain in good faith with the unions instead of deliberately stalling and waiting for the federal government to break the strike preemptively? All downside risk has been removed.

Biden publicly backed the unions, waited for the midterm elections to finish, and then switched sides and backed the railroad companies.

Democrats backstabbing labor will fracture an otherwise solidly blue voting block in a time when Dems are winning races by single-digit percentage points.

No party in America supports workers' rights. Dems will say they do, but when push comes to shove, there is no one.

What's with the focus on insane amounts of RAM for these new apple silicon chips? Is there some performance benefit specific to macs that would require 32GB+ of ram? Who on earth would need that in a desktop/laptop?
That doesn't work when the guy running the operation is being glad-handed by politicians behind the scenes and given a cake walk instead of a perp walk.
Looks like ideological to me, not a choice for practical reasons.
As much as I believe companies can decide for themselves whatever they want to do within the law, this seems incredibly stupid. They're pushing the limits of their customer base, even the Apple fanatics..

I can't fathom why this decision was made.
