> This is all FUD, and I wish people would stop repeating it. Battery fires in vehicles (which I assume is what you're talking about) are objectively safer than gasoline fires. They just are.

They just happen way more often, petrol tank is smaller tucked in usually somewhere in the back of the car, VS battery cell where just puncture can start a fire where gasoline can "just" leak without catching fire. Althought I imagine chance for that grows a lot with old cars, once they start to rot from corrosion
If you bought the game, and the seller didn't make it exceedingly clear that you were renting instead of buying, then yes, you do own a perpetual license.

Just because the developers write "actually you didn't buy it even though we said you did, tough shit" in the EULA doesn't make it true.
Can this be used to accelerate video decode in a linux machine/virtual machine? It sounds like it is not for graphics on linux but it unclear to me where decode falls.
Making art is not "vastly more difficult" or at least it is (IMO) highly debatable. Some parts of it require decades of experience to do with any kind of excellence, yes. That's also the case with powerlifting, figure skating and raising children and indeed programming. It's just that your boss made a money printer that takes in bullshit and outputs bullshit which gives you your cosy job.

But that is not "programming". That is glueing together bullshit until it works and the results of that "work" are "blessing" us everyday. The gift that keeps on giving. You FAANG people are indeed astronomically, immorally, overpaid and actively harm the world.

But, luckily, the world has more layers than that. Programming for Facebook is not the same as programming for a small chemical startup or programming in any resource-restricted environment where you can't just spin up 1000 AWS instances at your leisure and you actually have to know what you're doing with the metal.
What if everything more complicated can have a neural tool that is equivalent in some respects?
Our journey towards the fastest breaking news service
We can just make two versions, one is a reddit clone Next.js site backed by a boring database, the other is a dockerized CLI written in Rust that you have to deploy locally and persist on a blockchain, after you sign in with a hand soldered hardware authenticator, and where every post is written in XML with no Unicode support. Once a night a cron job transpiles and mirrors posts between the two systems, and you only see votes from your home system.

That would probably settle most arguments.
It's absolutely a slippery slope. Once you've established the mechanism to harass people over trash cans, next it's the color of their house, the shape of their windows, where they park their cars on their own property, if they have a scrap wood pile, and on-and-on. And then before you know it, you have the Nextdoor-powered housing gestapo.

Apple has been expanding the areas where they replace TomTom's data with their own.

Today, they are using their own data in the US, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Australia and most of the EU. Another expansion to fill out the EU coverage is in testing and expected to go live this week.

I upvote interesting stories

I upvote some comments I agree with and all comments that I disagree with that I think might lead to interesting discourse (eg, I want to be sure other people see the comment and respond to it). In other words, I most often reliably upvote when I want to see more objections.

I downvote all flip, lazy, joke comments, and cynical one-liners.
This led me to imagine people who learn to swim in VR and, because breathing is counterproductive underwater, then drown IRL.

Not really, the party never solicited payment. Musk opened up the negotiations and was then pissed off when the other side didn't accept his first offer.
This doesn't seem right. Are you proposing that humans would be erradicted from climate changes? How would that happen?
If I had the tool that did that, I would be the employer!
I think the parent's point about (2) wasn't about money, but category. A human is a human and has rights, an AI model is a tool and does not have rights. The two would not be treated equally under the law in any other circumstances, so why would you equate them when discussing copyright?
The thing about ChatGPT is that it warning shot. And all these people I see talking about it, laughing about how the shooter missed them.

Clearly ChatGPT is going to improve, and AI development is moving at a breakneck pace and accelerating. Dinging it for totally fumbling 5% or 10% of written code is completely missing the forest for the trees.
One thing I maybe should've mentioned is that it was dark outside (not raining or anything though). Maybe I'll try it again in the daylight one day.
2100 is reasonably long term in my mind. It's an arbitrary milestone that a lot of people are using, as in these SSPs.

The assessment that generated the SSPs puts SSP5 at an estiamted 4.4 degrees C increase in global average temperatures by 2100.

4 degrees of increase is brutal for the climate and the knock on effects on global resources are what I am focussing on. Extreme weather, flooding, drought, knock on effects on our globalised supply chains, and the hidden costs to offsetting all of this. GDP could increase, but so would population displacement, need for disaster recovery, moving agriculture to changing climate zones and so on.

SSP5 is generally considered a 'strange' approach to global social well-being, more of a 'what if fossil fuel fanatics tried their hands at global welfare, and just paid to mitigate the harm they create'. AKA a huge gamble and one that goes against human nature.

They say the charge capacity is 1017 mAh/g. That is about four times the value of a typical (good!) Li-Ion battery.
The earth doesn’t care if it’s warmer or colder, polluted, full of CO2, etc. The earth is a planet. If humans die out it will be like we were never here geologically speaking.

The reason to be a good environmental steward is to make the earth habitable for ourselves. This is why people who claim “I don’t want kids because of global warming” are so incredibly stupid - the earth does not care a smidgen about them, it’s a rock. If they really cared about the environment they would have as many kids as they could in hopes of raising a great scientist to help the environment!

Another thing to remember is that the earth has been much warmer and much cooler during the time of humanity. We had a little ice age throughout the Middle Ages. While we are most certainly making the earth warmer with technology, this isn’t a death blow to us. We as a species will adapt.

Even if humans had zero output on the environment we would still have to deal with a changing climate - the earth cycles between colder and hotter naturally over time. So becoming better able to heat or cool the earth technologically will be a very good technique for our species.

If you're going to credibly bust on Apple, you would do well to keep up. The latest iteration of the MacBook Pro includes a fantastic set of ports.
So no written rules someone could look into, thanks for the clarification.

Whataboutism.
I much prefer to be left alone in a “trashy neighborhood” (which is quite a claim based on some plastic cans being outside a few hours early) than be micromanaged by my neighbors.
It's quite typical of devs in my experience. I remember during the MegaUpload/Pirate Bay arrests, devs were quite up in arms about big media going after pirates, but when it came to devs going after app pirates with everything they've got, they were real quiet

There was a pretty big performance improvement jump to 3.9 already.
Financial and intellectual resources are being diverted to projects with large markets but low utility.

Also, "product" is a semantic argument. Product also means sum. Every application is a product of technology.
> One could have a high GDP with millions of slaves working in poverty for some rich upper class, for instance.

Could one really? Outside of a couple of petro-states whose high GDP comes from oil and gas resources, there are no countries in the top 30 GDP per capita that have even a loose form of slavery. Millions of slaves producing small amounts of value per capita doesn't add up to a rich nation with high GDP.

Just to add, yes, that paper is about solid state batteries.
Other browsers exist but those are apps using the same WebKit rendering engine, which means web developers have to support that. If Blink could run natively, you’d see more promotion on Google properties to change that.

A lot of private servers are actually reverse engineered from game binaries. It takes a lot of dedication and a lot of time in IDA/Ghidra to accomplish. You basically run your own copy of the backend and a patched client that connects to your backend.

When I was a teenager I remember playing on MapleStory private servers, and the backend was reverse engineered from the client. GTA private servers are also popular nowadays.

I don't really know where I'm going with this comment but you can always develop your own private server for a game if you have a team that's dedicated enough.
you assume that Nintendo knows what they're doing, which is pretty bold if I may say.

>>I don't think people are debating fair use for education and research. It's the obvious corporate and for profit use

Sounds like you are, because in copyright law there is not carve out for only non-profit education / research. Research and Education can be both profit and non-profit, copyright law does not distinguish between the 2, but it sounds like you claim is research can only ever be non-profit but given the entire computing sector in large part owes itself to commercial research (i.e Bell Labs) I find that a bit odd
> with the knowledge that their work has already played a role in leading a stalker to the target’s young child

Objection, Your Honor, assumes facts not in evidence.

This knowledge doesn't exist. It's asserted without evidence.
While it was far from all of them, lots of the people who are decrying AI art were recently gleefully cheering the destruction of blue-collar jobs held by people with what they view as unacceptable value systems. "Learn to code" was a middle finger both to the people losing their jobs and to those who already code and don't want to see the value of their skills diluted. There's been plenty of "lack of empathy" going around lately, mostly because of ideological fault lines. Perhaps this will be a wake-up call that monsters rarely obey their masters for very long before turning on them.
I'm not here in the HN comments for "advocacy" or to offer future advice to Democratic leaders who aren't even reading the HN comments. I'm simply denying the claim that Biden's past actions indicate strong support for unions.

Anyway, "What would you have them do?" is the wrong question. I don't believe that Democratic leaders have the same values and goals as I do. So as a start, what I would have them do is... fundamentally change who they are. ;-) Or maybe easier than that, resign from office.
Fair use is just a limitation of copyright in case of public interest. Europe has very similar exclusions, even though they are spelled out more concretely. But they don't make this particular issue any less opaque.
The early net was nice because it didn't have billions of people on it. It was a self selecting crowd of early tech adopters who had the time and money to have an online presence, a rarity back in the day. It was its own moderation system because there weren't that many people. Even the web index used to be manually curated.

Then the internet became a victim of its own success and the signal to noise ratio plummeted. You can't replicate the early internet with less moderation, you either need selective participation or heavy curation (not moderation).
Ok, let me try to be technical. These models fundamentally can be understood as containing a parametrised model of an intractable probability distribution ("human created images", "human created text"), which can be conditioned on a user provided input ("show me three cats doing a tango", "give me a summary of the main achievements of Richard Feynman") and sampled from. The way they achieve their impressive performance is by being exposed to as much of human created content as possible, once that has happened they have limited to no ways of self-improvement.

I disagree that there is no originality in art styles, human creativity amounts to more than just copying other people. There is no way a current gen AI model would be able to create truly original mathematics or physics, it is just able to reproduce facsimile and convincing bullshit that looks like it. Before long the models will probably able to do formal reasoning in a system like Lean 4, but that is a long way of from truly inventive mathematics or physics.

Art is more subtle, but what these models produce is mostly "kitsch". It is telling that their idea of "aesthetics" involves anime fan art and other commercial work. Anyways, I don't like the commercial aspects of copyright all that much, but what I like is humans over machines. I believe in freely reusing and building on the work of others, but not on machines doing the same. Our interests are simply not aligned at this point.
The paper, that red_trumpet posted down on the replies is about solid state NaS batteries.

What does that mean? Why should that be a goal?

What? How do you concluded that reducing emissions would cause "a significant detriment to human life?" Are you saying that climate change would not be a significant detriment to human life?

What are you getting at here? What are your assumptions?

I'd see it in the same framing as artificial sweetners, margarine and other "ersatz" peoducts: they don't need and might not want to have exactly the same properties as what they replace.

In practice less caloric meat, or in general meat that tastes good but has little impact on someone's diet in good or bad ways would be a fantastic product in itself.

Free speech applies to all speech, not just political speech. If you want "free speech as long as it's legal", this should be allowed. If you don't that's also fine, but then you can't cite "free speech" as a reason to reinstate Trump (Which Musk did). Although regardless neither of these is a "free speech" issue (In the constitutional sense) since it's about a corporation banning certain things on its platform, which it's perfectly entitled to do. It's just very clearly shown the hypocrisy with which Musk now runs Twitter.
note I never said anything about elimination of copyright completely, I said weaken it.

The original copyright term was for 14 years, not for Life.
Most Mickey Mouse image usage problems will be trademark infringement not copyright.

Copyright infringement does generally require you to have been aware of the work you were copying. So for sure there's an issue with using AI to generate art where you could use the tool to generate you an image, which you think looks original, because you are unaware of a similar original work, so you could not be guilty of copyright infringement - but if the AI model was trained on a dataset that includes an original copyrighted work that is similar, obviously it seems like someone has infringed something there.

But that's not what we're talking about in the case of mickey mouse imagery, is it? You're not asking for images of 'utterly original uncopyrighted untrademarked cartoon mouse with big ears' and then unknowingly publishing a mouse picture that the evil AI copied from Disney without your knowledge.
XFCE should be spending all of its development efforts on supporting Wayland. The project's priorities are clearly not in the right place to ensure the future growth of the project. Market share will continue to decline until wayland support is added, no matter how great any new features are.
They might be creating a security risk, but it's a legal security risk and might even be moral too.

That said it's just as legal for Musk to kick anybody he wants out of his new club house and even be a hypocrite about it.

I just wish he'd get back to saving the world and setting up Mars for my kids. As a social media icon he's basically worthless to the world.
Compelling arguments!
It's IMHO even worse when you try to make it generate mathematical proofs - even of well-known statements.

Here's a "proof" of Gödel's Completeness Theorem:

Prompt: Write a proof of Gödel's Completeness Theorem

Answer: Gödel's Completeness Theorem states that for any consistent, effective axiomatic system for a first-order language, if a sentence is true in all models of the system, then it is provable in the system.

To prove this theorem, we must first show that if a sentence is true in all models of a system, it must be true in at least one model of the system. Suppose that a sentence is true in all models of a system. This means that for any possible interpretation of the symbols and variables in the sentence, the sentence will be true. However, since the sentence is true in all models, it must be true in at least one model, otherwise it would not be true in all models.

Next, we must show that if a sentence is true in at least one model of a system, it is provable in the system. Suppose that a sentence is true in at least one model of a system. By the soundness of the system, if a sentence is provable in the system, it must be true in all models of the system. Since the sentence is true in at least one model, it must be true in all models of the system, and therefore it is provable in the system.

Therefore, if a sentence is true in all models of a system, it is true in at least one model of the system, and if it is true in at least one model of the system, it is provable in the system. This completes the proof of Gödel's Completeness Theorem.
