> The Model 3 sedan was being described on Tesla’s Korean website claiming 'can drive more than 528 km on a single charge'. However, on its US website, Tesla describes Model 3's performance as "Go anywhere with "up to" 358 miles of estimated range on a single charge." 358 miles equates to about 576 kms, and much less than what Tesla claimed in South Korean markets. After local media raised the issue and the regulator stepped in, Tesla changed the range from ‘more than’ to a ‘maximum’ 528 kilometres.

What??!! 576km is not much less than 528km, it's more! So Tesla was in fact correctly indicating that the range is more than 528km, because it is! Either this is awful reporting or there is a mistake in there. Also saying "can drive more than" instead of "up to" isn't necessarily an exaggeration, it may simply be a mistake in wording of the website. I give them the benefit of doubt here because I've never seen Tesla advertise range like that. It's often a single number with a testing methodology suffix (like EPA). There is no "up to" or the like qualifiers.

As for the second link, super interesting content. But EPA has certified the range and all other manufacturers are free to do what Tesla does to make their range more appealing. Nothing fishy going on here as far as I'm concerned. Exaggerating range in context of a certification program is moot (unless you're cheating and Tesla is clearly not, according to this article).

> A friend of mine paid the $10k as a "line jumping fee" to get his car 4 months earlier, and I assume that most informed buyers treat the FSD package the same.

Really? You thought this was a compelling example?!!! Have you never bought an "as-is" item from a shop which was on display. You pay cheaper but you can't bring it back for refund if you change your mind. This is common practice in every industry. You wanna be treated differently, you give up some perks.

People who buy FSD package as a way to jump the queue aren't buying FSD, they're buying time and as such doubt they will care about functionality of FSD.

I was referring to people who buy FSD for its current and future capabilities.
I mean, he did ask for a "typical" comment, not a popular comment!
Ask HN: Image attribution and stable diffusion
There are websites that offer free images but either require attribution of the source of the image or else require paying a premium membership or subscription.

Presumably these companies are scraping public websites to check if their images are being used without attribution.

If someone was to take the image and run it through stable diffusion to generate a new image but using that image as a source, should this also require attribution if it was just used as a starting point?

I'm sincerely curious on peoples thoughts from both an ethical AND legal perspective (with all the usual disclaimers)

For example, one perspective is that the generated image may not resemble the original image but in a sense was used to get to that point, similar to how an artist may see a copyrighted image and decide on a creative spin on that image.

A further perspective is that stablediffusion may have been trained on copyrighted images in the first place even though it may not exactly reproduce an image in it's training corpus.

The article talks about this, in the case where your clients are syncing with a centralised server you don't necessarily need to use CRDTs, and it might be simpler not to.
Female genital mutilation is common practice in some countries. Let's analyze and study the reasons for this practice that started centuries ago before we can say anything about it. I mean, hey, they burned people at crosses for a long time, they must have had a valid reason too, right? No, not every reason behind a custom is a valid one in the 21st century. If the parable villagers were nervous and twitchy because they feared demons would send the tiger, and they figured out that by sacrificing a baby would please the demons, nobody today should say that throwing a small child off a cliff is still an ethical custom. Of course, changing the custom is another thing, but we today have something called human values, ethical values, and human rights. They do trump a few ethical values that we have carried from the past. I'm not denying others' humanity because I say this, but when you come to a conclusion that an action is not as ethical as another, you should adopt it, and explain why you did it. There's no shame in stating that slavery is wrong, that genital mutilation is wrong, that child labor is wrong. Why is is wrong and racist for me to say that latin american machismo is wrong, especially and it results in so much suffering?
The equivalent is closer to a CRUD app that serves 99% of requests correctly. Which is nowhere near good enough to use.

But even if we do go with 99% bug free for the sake of argument, the usefulness depends on the type of bug. How harmful is it? How easy is it to detect?

I had my wife (a physician) ask ChatGPT medical questions and it was almost always subtly but dangerously and confidently wrong. It looked fine to me but it took an expert to spot the flaws. And frequently it required specialist knowledge that a physician outside of my wife’s specialty wouldn’t even know to find the problems.

If you need a senior engineer to read and understand every line of code this thing spits out I don’t see it as providing more than advanced autocomplete in real world use (which to be fair could be quite helpful).

It frequently takes more time to read and really comprehend a junior engineers PR than it would have to just do it myself. The only reason I’m not is mentoring.
How do junior devs ever become senior devs if an AI can replace the work of all junior devs?
Weirdly enough for few mobile apps I use I never hit that, I guess I got lucky
Before any stories had ever been told, humans thought of them, and told them to each other.

Before any paintings had ever been painted, humans imagined them from nothing, and painted what they imagined.

Just because reading other stories increases our breadth of material to draw from doesn't mean we require them to create.

GPT-3 has no ability to create something truly new, without reference to anything it's seen before. Period. It cannot imagine. It does not have consciousness.

The hype around it has tricked you into thinking it is much more than it is—either that, or that we are much less.
Exactly. Human creative works are also on a bell curve, with the stuff in the middle typically being bland and boring. It's only when risks are taking that it holds our interest.

ChatGPT mirrors this, producing output that feels generic precisely because it's trying to predict what's the most likely response. That's in direct opposition to interesting creative works.

You can force it off the beaten track a little by adding more details to your prompt, but it will still try and fit the best curve through those additional points.
What about hardware support for video encoding (h.264) in those alternatives?
Some time ago, best to my knowledge, if this is a feature you depend on - Raspberry would be the only option you can get that came with a working GPU drivers that support video encoding out of the box.
That policy was never used to remove content published by NY Times, WaPo etc. that had originated from hacks or stolen material. In fact, this was the only time they used this policy in that manner to restrict content published by legitimate investigative journalists. That's the entire crux of their argument, selective enforcement when it fit their political desires.

Also, the emails weren't hacked. The laptop was abandoned at a repair shop and they tried to turn it over to the FBI twice but the FBI declined. That's when they turned it over to Giuliani who sent them to the NY Post.
Interesting this tracks in homes too but makes sense I guess. In restaurants the hood exhaust/ventilation system is one of if not the largest one-time cost. It's why restaurants almost always move into spaces previously occupied by restaurants, the cost to add it is usually just too much except as part of new development.
Expecting what is sold as a lifetime license to actually last the lifetime of the software is being a tightwad? That's just lying to your customers.
I used Purify back in the day, and while it worked well, getting it working was a royal PITA. IIRC it was necessary to recompile EVERYTHING with Purify.

Anyway, I would think the gold standard these days is clang's Address Sanitizer (https://github.com/google/sanitizers/wiki/AddressSanitizer). clang/ASAN also runs on Mac in addition to Linux.

It will be interesting if it replaces stackoverflow considering that it probably trained itself on a lot of the questions and answers. On the one hand it's not much different than training on github or how google put translators out of business by using their translations. But it is just a more direct connection that demonstrates how these guys are funneling the wealth generated by other people's work up to themselves. Before stackoverflow the state of questions and answers on the web was really bad and full of noise. They took a risk and put a lot of effort and engineering knowledge into building it.

What really annoys me is that it will probably further train itself on this text I'm writing now. I am writing it in the spirit of exchange with other similar people. Not in the spirit of some mechanical turk worker for OpenAI.
Same in the US. I've used rpilocator.com extensively and never seem to be fast enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/

I don't understand why this shortage has continued for so long - is it because they keep the price low?
Same here. The statement above comes from my mom, who grew up in Bangladesh in the 1950s and 1960. British colonial influence, and the desire for elite Bangladeshis to be more like the British, was why she was one of the tiny fraction of women who graduated college and had a professional career. She doesn’t feel any need to frame that in politically correct terms.
The number of workers needed for quality control is much lower than the number for actual work. It is not unreasonable to fear the loss of jobs to AI.
I doubt you are correct that you don't have to return it. If the item was sent to you by mistake then the law requires you to return it under the legal theory of unjust enrichment. You can only keep it if the unsolicited item was sent to you intentionally.

Here's a link for the U.S. state of Georgia but I would expect it to be the same in any state:

"When you receive promotional merchandise that you did not order, you have the right to keep it as a free gift. ..It is a different matter if the mailing you received was due to a mistake by the company. In these circumstances, Georgia law regarding “unjust enrichment” obligates you to return the item paid for by another customer. The company, however, will have to pay postage and handling or make arrangements to pick it up."

Ok. I can agree to that
I don't. If you are offering a lifetime license and pull stuff like this, you are being the a--hole.
I was considering something similar and then found this: https://gist.github.com/frozenice/fafb1565f8299a888f94d11137... (benchmarking Hetzner's cloud volumes, with unfavorable comments from people trying PG and MySQL deployments).

I emphasize that I personally did not run any such tests, yet. But was wondering, since this is Hetzner thread, that maybe someone can share their experience, in particular comparing AWS's gp2/gp3 based deployments vs Hetzner's volumes.

I would also add that on AWS, for example, you can nearly seamlessly expand EBS volumes in size without downtime. Last time I checked, not an option on Hetzner - you must take care of expanding the file system yourself. Which makes sense, as Hetzner is more basic service, but it's worth remembering that there are various differences like that, when comparing the day to day operations between such providers.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is a normal piece of software, not some kind of cloud service. If that's the case, the developer has no ongoing costs from lifetime license users besides hosting downloads and support. Hosting a few MBs to maybe a few thousand users per month is basically free these days, so if they just discontinued support for those users but let them keep using the software, the fallout would surely be much smaller.

Losing support and even updates a decade into a very cheap "lifetime" license is fine. But the same executable that worked yesterday not working anymore is entirely unacceptable.

> and essentially all humans will become the starving artists

all of these assumptions miss something so huge that it surprises me that so many miss it: WHO is doing the art purchasing? WHO is evaluating the "value" of... well... anything, really? It is us. Humans. Machines can't value anything properly (example: Find an algorithm that can spot, or create, the next music hit, BEFORE any humans hear it). Only humans can, because "things" (such as artistic works, which are barely even "things", much more like "arbitrary forms" when considered objectively/from the universe's perspective) only have meaning and value to US.

> when we will all be killed off by our robot overlords

We won't. Not unless those robots are directed or programmed by humans who have passionate, malicious intent. Because machines don't have will, don't have need, and don't have passion. Put bluntly and somewhat sentimentally, machines don't have love (or hate), except that which is simulated or given by a human. So it's always ultimately the human's "fault".

I don't disagree with the general point you're making (though speaking of "mildly misleading", there was never an "automatic extension" or a "license extension process", it was one payment and done). That said...

C'mon now. If you call something "lifetime", you can't be shockedpikachu.jpg when you change it to something else years later and people are surprised.
ChatGPT feels like the current aim assist debates in a lot of FPSses to me. It'll make you better at the shooting part of the game, perfect even. But, won't necessarily make you that much of a better player, because aiming is only one aspect of what makes someone good at FPSes. However, if someone is generally good enough or very good at the "not aiming" portion of the games, then having aim assist would drastically increase their overall skill.

Also, ChatGPT doesn't really work for any UI based programs at all. For example, if you want help using Excel, you'll get a list of instructions, but nothing visual to help you out.

It's a misnomer. Amazon has declining profit _growth_. Meaning our profit grew less last year less than it grew the year before.

But make no mistake, it's still record profit after record profit each year.

But I guess having this year's record profit be only slightly larger than last year's record profit means we need layoffs.

It makes sense for them to have expedited handling for ToS violations that affect a public or political figure. Otherwise a very easy exploit would be to simply have people keep reposting them, relying on there always being a few that haven't been taken down yet.

You think if it was failing any significant amount to drive in a safe way, with this wide deployment, there wouldn't be a lot of crashes? Having an AI drive is the best way to make the driver zone out. At this point, it usually fails by going into intersections a little too slowly.
A seat belt is much less of an imposition on comfort and convenience than a helmet is. And there isn't really a more convenient alternative to driving a car, so of course mandating seat belts doesn't reduce car use.

Statistically, you are much more likely to die or be injured in a car crash than on a bike, so surely we should mandate helmet use in cars, right?
At a cursory glance of the thread dumps i see the time spent in the server compiler (C2) is very very high. It might be worth exploring if that’s expected?

As others have pointed out, AI's are not needed to produce crappy repetition which is eagerly gobbled by the masses, i.e. Hollywood, Netflix, and werewolves and vampire stories by the penny. And there is a huge audience for those.

What I think is going to happen is that even when I'm searching for information in subject X, I might need to fight through a lot of AI fluff to get anywhere. If that gets too bad, I may loose the incentive to use the Internet altogether, or to use the open internet. If I can't use the open Internet, I'll have to go to the closed one, which by definition is under the control of funded parties.

Today, we have a semblance of "verifiable personhood". Imagine what will happen when we use AI to break that too. For example, an AI could create a fictitious "Derek Mains" who post photos to Instagram, has a Facebook account with photos from his childhood all the way to his retirement, a profile in LinkedIn with a lot of professional connections (AI fictions like him but also many real people that the AI gulled), and even a Github repository from the time he tries to create a cooking recipes website, full of PHP and Python code. Derek Mains is now traveling the world and tasting new types of food, posting regular updates on Twitter/Tumblr/Mastodon, and Wikipedia, where he edits food-related articles. Not very often compared with everything he does online, but once in a while he engages with other people(?) in Twitter where he is partial to party X.

What would real people do when they discover that the Internet is full of "Derek Mains"? How do governments and power factions will use this? Wouldn't be sweet to own the closed Internet when the open one is a wasteland?

Unless I am wrong, if your server uses end-to-end encryption you are still better off with CRDT since the server cannot merge the state. So there is a caveat to be said about this claim that you only need CRDT for peer-to-peer scenarios.
