I don't agree. A surgeon is not going to see the vast majority of people who don't suffer head trauma, so they are not any more reliable than anyone else. If anything, they are likely to be more biased than the average person.

Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield Stepping Down in January
> ... besides hosting downloads and support.

Support can be an enormous time drain.

This naturally depends on the software type, its quality and the composition of its user base, but I've been on a receiving end of the support firehose for a software with a lot of "simpleton" users and it was a nightmare. This doesn't sound like something that would apply to the mIRC case, but it'd be one rationale for yanking lifetime licenses. You want support - you need to keep chipping in.
Nice to see someone so in love and dedicated to a single product.
I think that the root of the problem is not algorithms like the article suggests. It's ordinary people that can't resist the temptation of using AI to generate coherent-seeming results and flooding the Internet with them. But I don't blame you since I find AI tools to be useful in certain contexts, and I am unable to resist tinkering with Stable Diffusion. I guess the future for me will be one of navigating the resulting cognitive dissonance as I sift through pages of autogenerated SEO spam.

Maybe there could be a codified set of guidelines for how AI content should be shared. Or maybe an annotation system that separates the two across different websites? I only ever share something that comes from an AI on a siloed website just for AI content, but that's only because I have my own beliefs. More and more people on this site are asking if certain comments were generated with GPT-3 and it's a worrying sign.
Even sillier is the number of people willing to completely ignore his rampant cheating just because it was "online". Hans has to carry the burden of his decisions, that's how this work.
as a computer science student i am slightly concerned but I also don't think that it would necessarily be possible for AI as it currently exists to be able to complete software engineering tasks with the required level of specification/efficiency. But maybe in 10 or 20 years.... ? who knows what the landscape will be like
Well, even so-called experts are not good at distinguishing between crap and good art. For example, Van Gogh and many other famous artists died in poverty.
Wow, that's not much... my kid would probably hit that within a month. (I just replaced the motor in a Bachmann Thomas that wore out in about the same amount of time.)
So I have to beg? A programmer so busy coding a high-demand bleeding edge IRC client all the kids are using that needs to resort to manual e-mail to distribute licenses to the people he owes it to, every one he has (or should have) the e-mail for that helped him pay the bills? Please.
This feels pretty sensationalist to me. The report is irritating because it lumps 80% of the fx ‘debt’ into 1 big bucket of “less than 1 year”. But a huge swath of those transactions are cleared in days.

One of the main reasons to do a currency swap is to handle liquidity mismatched more efficiently than going to the currency markets. Firm a has x dollars now but needs to pay out a fixed y currency 2 days from now. Another firm (or set of firms) has the opposite problem.

A currency swap is agreed to with a fixed exchange rate/ fees which can be much much lower than the market rate as there is no fx rate exposure to hedge. That’s why it’s off balance sheet. It’s perfectly 1:1. There is counterparty risk but it’s much much cheaper and less risky to deal with that than the corresponding credit line plus fx exchange that the swap is replacing.

I can see how it makes central bankers nervous because they don’t have insight into it, but it’s strictly less risky than the alternative.
I don't want them to build it into the appliance and if they do I won't use it unless it 100% doesn't use a manufacturer specific cloud because of all the downsides that come with it.
I'll chip in with my main reason, as a London cycling veteran of nearly 10 years: shoulder checks.

I whip my head back and forth over my right shoulder constantly to check the state of traffic behind me.

Before I maneuvre, I check, check and check again. Always checking. Always fully aware of what's behind me.

Having something attached to my head makes it harder and less comfortable to do these rapid checks. I think this makes me less safe overall.
That sounds rough! I would probably look into getting a full replacement (possibly with a different model) from Lenovo, given such persistent "lemon" issues.

I completely agree - even as a huge Carlsen fan.

The circumstances around the OTB play are suspicious, definitely (not being able to explain his analysis, he coincidentally studied that exact position the night before, and his previous _confirmed_ cheating).

But he deserves a fair shake in this situation. And honestly, even if he's in the wrong - I don't think it should be a lifetime ban or anything.

I was an absolute moron when I was basically up to my mid-20s. I would call most 21-year-olds a kid today, and I'm only 30. There is still so much learning and growth that needs to happen. It's unfortunate our society pegs folks down as inherently bad - if that's their identity, they will forever stay that way.

I'm not sure what your points are other than "people are different, get used to it." Surely there is room for different writing styles and perspectives in the world. That is really not what I was getting at. If that's what you took away from my comment, I would invite you to re-evaluate it.

>Finally, you mention women overusing exclamation points. Maybe they are just being women?

I did mention it, but I did not come up with this on my own. You can read the study I linked to. Calling it "women being women" sounds a bit like the old "boys will be boys" attitude, as if your gender defines your actions or is an excuse.

Instead I'd rather look at why a large group of people feel like they need to express themselves as upbeat and happy. If you read the study I linked to, it talks about this with explanation. I invite you to read some more.
Wrote about this topic a few years back. There has been some industry progress in the time since to streamline this process but it still has a ways to go.

I'm not an accountant, but I think tax write-offs are different for businesses.

If you gave them $5 and they lit a 5 dollar bill on fire, they get a write-off because companies are taxed on profits, not revenue.

Now whether or not sales-tax gets involved on the donation I have no clue; there are thousands of different sales-tax jurisdictions in the US, so I'm not going to even speculate.
Yup. Also, that is also just one problem.

USA hands out a million green cards, but only 150k for employment based. For all the talks of immigrants bringing skills, we are really not preferred. They'll hand out 50k "diversity visas" by lottery, but God forbid more than 10k indians come into the country for their skills. And even the skills based visas barely prefer more skilled or in demand immigrants. That's what they call "abuse" by H1B/eb1 but also oppose any wage based or PhD preferring rules. Hypocrites hiding their true racist intentions.
This comment really needs a “yo dawg” meme.
Margins on cars are pretty low, in single digit percentages, and only higher when you move to premium cars.

You just cannot compete as "not huge" company with other big companies making cheap cars.

They are making their money on service and replacement components, not on new economy car sales (well, pre-pandemic at least)

So you're not getting "cheaper company" nor "well made" because making something well and cheap requires that scale in the first place.

The issue is really that not that many come to dealership and want cheapest radio from the 90s in their new car. People do want at least android auto/carplay and that usually comes with whole rest of entertainment, and as we are in cheap economy car segment, well, the shit that cost few bucks in knobs also get moved to that entertainment.
The actual rule is that if YouTube takes something down in good faith belief that it is infringing, they are protected against any liability for any claim over taking it down, but only if the follow the restoration procedures as specified.

If they fail to do that they simply lose the protection of liability if you (or anybody) sues them over taking the work down.

So you cannot successfully sue them over say lost revenue for a fraudulent takedown notice if they follow the correct counternotice procedure. If they don't, then they might be liable, but most likely something in the terms of service or similar would prevent your suit from being a winning case anyway.

However, in other scenarios like where the provider was contractually obligated to keep the content available, if they fail to follow the counternotification procedures properly, you could potentially sue the provider and win.
I'm not concerned about COPS extracting data from my car, I'm MUCH more concerned about car's OEM extracting data regularly from remote from "my" car, who is mine just formally being connected to it's OEM and who knows what others.

This is a FAR BIGGER threat even in national security terms because an unpatched vulnerability might allow acting on ALL cars in a nation, for instance blocking them in some crucial intersections paralyzing the entire traffic, or push them to consume too much all at once (EVs/plug-in hybrid) from the grid to make mass blackouts and so on.
Really? Doping and Lance Armstrong is the first thing that comes to mind. Although I guess we could argue he wasn't competing anymore
I am also not a lawyer, but I seriously doubt a court would accept "I didn't expect to actually have to live up to my end of the deal!" to be a valid change in circumstances. By this logic almost anyone could back out of a long term contract: "I didn't expect to still be in business 24 years later when I gave you that 25 year warranty!"

To quote the top few results I got searching online for "law of frustration":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustration_in_English_law

> it is "not lightly to be invoked to relieve contracting parties of the normal consequences of imprudent bargains"

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/frustration_of_purpose

> when a later and unforeseen event impedes the buyer's purpose for entering into the contract

https://www.upcounsel.com/frustration-of-contract-definition (emphasis mine)

> However, frustration of contract is not acceptable in all circumstances nor in all types of contracts. It is acceptable when the law finds it unfair to force a party to comply with the contract terms ___due to events that are outside of or beyond their control___.
It also takes massive quantities of powerful poisons and sedatives to drop an elephant. And either of those options can take time. And cost.

As to potentially giving your position away due to gunfire, the savannah is a big place and relatively flat. You can be hours away from the next human being. You can see them coming from miles away. And it makes it difficult to tell where sounds are coming from. So while you may hear the shot, you're not going to be able to tell exactly which direction it came from.

Also, you only need to be far enough away to not be caught.

MUME is an awesome game with a massive world, allowing you to explore the Shire, Rivendell, Lorien, and even more dangerous locations such as Moria, Myrkwood and the Misty Mountains! Its as close to an interactive version of the Lord of the Rings novels that you can get!

While it started as a pure text game, its evolved over the years to have one of the most interesting and powerful 2d mapping tools of any mud, making it a very unique gaming experience for those that love exploring.

Its a piece of internet history at this point, as one of the only online games to still have an active playerbase and continue to receive changes and updates after more than 30 years!!
A slightly better example - if the Australian Future Fund owns $50 mill of Coke bonds, they probably need an fx swap so that every time Coke sends them some USD, they can swap it into AUD and know in advance how many AUD they are going to get.

If the USD got stronger against the AUD, the swap the Future Fund are in becomes a liability for them, if viewed through a "mark to market" lens. But the USD they are receiving is worth more to them, so they could increase the value of the bond holding - this would mean everything was "on balance sheet". But there is a very good argument that this "on balance sheet" method is a bad representation of the true economics of the situation. So instead, they leave the value of the Coke bond on their balance sheet at the same level, and don't record the liability of the fx swap.

Clearly the use of the FX derivative reduces the volatility for the Future Fund.

Note this is a somewhat contrived example, but it illustrates why off balance sheet isn't a black hole per se. At the same time, if you think through a few issues that could come up in this case, it's easy to see why it can be manipulated by bad actors, and why counter party risk is a big deal.
It seems that most of the commentary here is about whether or not there are more injuries with helmets. It seems largely moot since this is basically a proxy for the conversation that we should have - should there be helmet mandates?

Nobody is being asked to accept Hancock's speculations as theory. They are asked to engage the evidence, and they evidently prefer to attack the messenger.

Someone was also demonstrating over the weekend that literally cut and pasted ChatGPT text output is easily detected as LLM output with near certainty. https://huggingface.co/openai-detector/

That said, adult me could probably use ChatGPT to stitch together a 1000 word high school paper pretty easily (and probably evade plagiarism/LLM detectors). But, as you say, I could probably get a lot of the way there by other means as well and putting words on the page is mostly not the hard part anyway.
This is awesome! I still love the look of the Finder from this era, and I love that this has the Window Shade extension turned on too.
This is awesome.

Most statues in antiquity were bronze, rather than marble. They were easier to make, and could even be mass-produced.

But they were also easy to melt down, especially once people invented bronze cannons. So there are depressingly few ancient bronzes around.

And even less from the Etruscans. So this has the potential to be incredibly informative.

They are doing it because yields are good, and as a fund manager you are rewarded quarterly/yearly for good returns. If it blows up after a 5 year run, you’ve had 4.5 solid years of bonuses and walk away claiming ‘no one could have foreseen the <eminently foreseeable event>’
Mortality is nuanced, and not everything needs to have a protagonist and an antagonist (or victims). Anyway, the licences were purchased 10 years ago at an affordable price, and the author is offering to extend licenses if people email them.

Alao, I don't know the details in this instance, but a lot of unlimited/lifetime products come with a shit ton of fine print which void the lifetime/unlimited clause. For example, a lot of hosting providers used to give you "unlimited" storage, but excluding media files, or apply "fair use" limitations, etc.

Zero Trust Homework is a fascinating idea, as described in the article, but I don't know how many teachers will adapt because they'll just end up confusing themselves. When you read too many lies, you might start forgetting the truth yourself.

Instead, what I think there will be a much greater short term market for, is a system that will run the teacher's homework assignment (with variations) against GPT-3, ChatGPT, and similar, and will cache the results. Then, when students submit the homework in their LMS, it will automatically compare the cached results for repeated sentences and paragraphs and flag the submission if it matches the AI results too closely. I expect TurnItIn will do something like this eventually, but what if somebody beats them to the punch?

If I had a million dollars, I'd have it built overnight and then marketed to every college, ASAP. I'd tell every sales agent to have teachers and college executives try TextGPT, panic, and sign immediately. I'd sign a million contracts before TurnItIn knew what hit them. Then, once suddenly and so quickly entrenched, I'd extend it into a TurnItIn competitor.

> Do they also claim tax write-offs for your donations?

Yes, but not in the "We pay less taxes because of this" way that people think.

Pulling numbers out of the air here, but if they make $100 in sales with $80 in costs, they'll take an $80 deduction for their costs and pay taxes on the $20 profit.

If they make $100 in sales, plus accept $30 in donations for a total of $130 in revenue, and have $80 in costs, they'll send the $30 to the charity, take a $30 deduction in their taxes for the donation, another $80 deduction for costs, and finally pay taxes on the $20 remaining profit.

Obviously, it's far more complicated than that, and actual numbers will be wildly different, the point still remains that they do not get a tax advantage.
> but in either case it's unethical and illegal to call customer's donations your own.

What? That makes no sense. You put in the effort and delivered the money. Without your effort, the money would never arrive. In every possible sense, the customer's donations are donations from you.

Politicians are always evaluated by how much fundraising they can do for their party. They are never evaluated by how much of their fundraising came out of their own pocket, because... that metric just isn't relevant to anyone or anything.

Same goes for salesmen. If you're responsible for $10,000,000 / year of revenue, does it matter to anyone that you didn't personally purchase $10,000,000 / year of products? Of course not.

I manage all of the household finances and my partner doesn't involve herself for the most part. My simple solution: write an Apple Note and share it with her summarising everything I can think of.

I add to it every now and then when I think of something important. Hopefully it serves as a good starting point if the worst comes to the worst. It does make me think I should add a few notes about tech, though, such as 1Password and iCloud.
