I don't really believe that. An example: "Robot owl in the style of van Gogh".

This will closely mimic van Gogh's style but nobody cares because style cannot be copyrighted in itself. So it draws a robot owl, which for the sake of this example, is a new character.

Zero copyright violations.

My point remains that AI users aren't going to aim for output that directly looks like an existing character. These artists are now intentionally doing that for the sake of the protest but this is not how AI is used. It's used to create new works or far-derived works.
It’s the paradox of intelligence: smart people are more prone to fight tooth and nail, and do all kinds of mental gymnastics, rather than to admit that they too have been misled. People of average or below average intelligence tend to accept it much more easily.

I don’t know if there’s already a name for this phenomenon…
> It would be very easy to make training ML models on publicly available data illegal

This isn't the only option though? You could restrict it to data where permission has been acquired, and many people would probably grant permission for free or for a small fee. Lots of stuff already exists in the public domain.

What ML people seem to want is the ability to just scoop up a billion images off the net with a spider and then feed it into their network, utilizing the unpaid labor of thousands-to-millions for free and turning it into profit. That is transparently unfair, I think. If you're going to enrich yourself, you should also enrich the people who made your success possible.
Scribd (https://www.scribd.com) îs supposed to also do this. I have downloaded it, and not yet gotten around to trialing it. But honestly I want to give my money to the Readwise team over a large corp if that's an option.
The Z-Wave network, while being a mesh network, is not a dynamic mesh. Nodes follow a precomputed path from themselves to the controller (with backup paths -- it's based on a node having a predefined list of adjacencies). You need to regularly poll each node in the system and determine it's optimal path from controller->node and node->controller and redefine it's adjacency list.

This process is entirely automated but does take some time. It's absolutely critical to do this when adding a new device (both for the new device, as well as the overall network) but I found that just doing it regularly works great. I have all my networks configured to do this at 4AM daily since the network is unusable for the few minutes it takes.
They are not "esteemed" anymore. Personal bankruptcy inevitable. They will have to work again at some point.
I would rather live in a world where humans get to do things they love because they can (and not because they have to earn their bread), and machines get to do basically everything that needs to be done but no human is willing to do it.

Advancing AI capabilities in no way detracts from this. You talk about humans being "relegated to the remaining tasks" - but that's a consequence of our socioeconomic system, not of our technology.
> even less likely that they'll die from a vaccine side effect

My understanding is that there've always been risks associated with vaccines, and they were always relatively small risks. What I can't find any unbiased information about is how the risks of the Covid vaccine compare with the risks of, say, the mumps or rubella vaccines.
I can't know whether this was a joke ad or not, but I once saw an ad in a magazine that said something along the lines of:

"Are you illiterate? Write now for a free book on where you can learn to read."
I'm working on a serious in-browser audio app which takes advantage of web midi!

Unfortunately, we've just launched and we do not have bug bounty setup yet.
Looks super interesting - don’t have my usual setup nearby so I’ll just ask before checking it out myself: given that you advertise super powerful highlighting, is there a feature that allows exporting/copying single/multiple highlights with proper references to what I’m reading (say, APA style)? That would be a killer feature for me.
"Giving back" is cute but it doesn't make up for taking without permission in the first place. Taking someone's stuff for your own use and saying "here's some compensation I decided was appropriate" is called Eminent Domain when the government does it and it's not popular.

Many people would probably happily allow use of their work for this if asked first, or would grant it for a small fee. Lots of stuff is in the public domain. But you have to actually go through the trouble of getting permission/verifying PD status, and that's apparently Too Hard
> or patch the runtime code

A huge spike in CPU usage would be treated as a regression in other language runtimes and would likely be addressed. The fact that this is solvable with advanced JVM knobs is both good and bad. Good in the way you say. Bad because the complexity of maintaining all those knobs makes it difficult if not impossible to improve the runtime defaults, and every runtime problem becomes a tuning problem.
Windows: Still insecure after all these years
They’ve definitely fixed things in the last 5 years. What’s broken?
The times when we had to run and hide from tigers, when men were real men and women were left behind in the compound to rear the children is long behind us. And the simple fact is that even then there were gay and trans people, they just weren't recognized as such and ended up having problems to fit in.
That seems a bit like wishful thinking.

People don't have unlimited ability to learn new skills. Training takes time, and someone who spent several years honoring their craft won't be able to pick up a new skill overnight.

On top of that, people have preferences regarding their work – even if someone has the ability to do a different work, they might find it less meaningful and less satysfing.

Finally, don't ignore the speed at which AI capabilities improve. Compare GPT-1 with the current model, and how quickly we got here. Eventually we'll get to a point where humans just won't be able to catch up quickly enough.
Over two decades into social media, I still see nothing I want from it as a user. Removing toxicity doesn't change that.

> It requires a fundamental change from the reach model towards concentric social circles. The social network would allow users to arrange into small topical groups called social circles. These social circles would have a cap of 10 (arbitrary number) members. Each user could take part in many social circles. This inherently limits reach and therefore reduces the burden of misinformation, abuse, and moderation.

I have group texts that work basically that way. Maybe group texts could be improved in some ways, but you haven't described anything that would be an improvement. In a sense, the killer features of WhatsApp or Signal are basically just that: making text messages work internationally and privately.

> This model closely mirrors real social interactions and allows for both private and intimate communication. It also offers a profitable advertising opportunity. A social circle reflects its members’ interests and context.

From the user's perspective: fuck advertising, and fuck advertisers. If I want a product I'll go looking for information about it, and even then I'm not interested in hearing from you, because you're not exactly an unbiased source of information. Advertisers are liars: even when they're not actively lying, they're misleading by leaving out relevant information about competing products.

As long as your social media platform is in bed with advertisers, it's going to be fundamentally broken, because that money is going to force you to serve advertisers and not users. You can't serve both well--their interests are not compatible. Either you're serving advertisers and helping them lie to users, or you're serving users by keeping advertisers away from them.
My hobbies are exercise/sports, playing video games, reading books, building models, and hanging out with friends. I have zero fear of any of those being automated away
Copyright should not exist, but artists do need support somehow and doing away with copyright without other radical changes to economy/society leaves them high and dry. Copyright not existing should pair with other forms of support such as UBI or worker councilization, instead of ridding it while clutching capitalist pearls and ultimately only accelerating capitalism at their expense
You are mixing cause and effect with abandon.

It is fair to criticize NIST for enabling rumors about them weakening SHA3, but these are rumors only, nothing more. Please, everyone, stop spreading them. SHA3 is the same Keccak that has gone through extensive scrutiny during the SHA3 competition, and, as far as anyone can tell, it is rock solid. Don't trust NIST, don't trust me, trust the designers of Keccak, who tell you that NIST did not break it:

> NIST's current proposal for SHA-3, namely the one presented by John Kelsey at CHES 2013 in August, is a subset of the Keccak family. More concretely, one can generate the test vectors for that proposal using the Keccak reference code (version 3.0 and later, January 2011). This alone shows that the proposal cannot contain internal changes to the algorithm.

Rather than maladaptive, I’d characterize being trans and in the early stages of the journey to be painful emotionally and physically.

Merely having to look in the mirror and think constantly “this is not who I should be” is damaging. That’s why people deserve sympathy and aid from society.

When people say it’s maladaptive and characterize it as psychological disorder they are falling into the trap of believing that mental anguish must always have a mental solution. Thus they would prescribe therapy, drugs, and asylums.

On the converse, it is much easier in reality to change physical gender than it is to change one’s mind.

Java was the first mainstream garbage-collected language. Not the first GC language, but the first one to get serious traction. It started the post-C++ era.

That was a pretty bold design decision for the time, and one that worked out. The VM was another big one, and it also worked out.

Really interesting solution and I was very happy using it today! Some quick thoughts:

- It would be great if you add a feature to import an OPML

- Definitely needs a way manage feeds in folders/tags

- I would also really like a way to export my stuff in JSON/XML in case I want to move somewhere else (not sure if that exists already)

Keep up the good work! Would be happy to pay for this.
To some degree, I agree. But I also grew up before social media. Very little has changed about the fundamental ugliness of human behavior we try to tuck into a corner.

As someone who was seriously hurt by forced conformity, I’m not exactly pining for the way things used to be.

It wasn’t that long ago when people were expected to drink themselves to death rather than seek help.

You are probably right, but because until very recently here religion was so strongly intertwined with culture that it is hard to see the difference and that the bulk of the people that stepped out of it haven't had time enough to establish a real culture of their own other than some common labels it is hard to make the distinction (for me, at least). This is probably yet another example of such conditioning. And in the meantime Islam has made an appearance and is gaining a lot of strength, to the point that it is only a matter of time before it will be the dominant religion, and given the cultural distance this is likely only going to cause even more issues.
Seems like this is semi functional. The auto generated prompts play fine, but user-generated prompts don't play for me.

I think the original "read it later" app was "Pocket" 15 years ago. At the core it is still bookmarking with a "reader" mode. I use it on my e-reader (because of the kobo native integration)

I'm looking back to the origins because Readwise is aggressively pushing this concept to the "limits". I mean, offering epubs and RSSs (and much more) is pretty inclusive. This may blur the original "simplicity" goal. However, The UX design is flawless. Nothing to say. So, this will surely help order all that disparate input.

HN readers, don't be discouraged by the price tag. Give it a go, and make sure you "invoke the ghost" [1]

The association between heart problems and mRNA vaccines is a settled matter - outside social media at least.

The Paul Ehrlich institute which is monitoring vaccine side-effects has a nice detailed report on vaccine safety with details on heart problems and all sorts of other things.

Most affected are men and male teens between 12-17 and Moderna’s causing more problems than Biontech. This was the main reason why the German vaccination committee recommended that men under 30 get Biontech.

TL;DR: The study is fraudulent as it didn't normalize for distance or time driving, which has a extremely strong correlation to traffic fatalities. What the study actually found is that the unvaccinated drive more, and reporting it the other way was intentional fraud.
We have pretty different views on tech elites. I don't think they are evil per se, but most are greedy and generally lack empathy. It's almost impossible to go from mildly wealthy to multi-billionaire status without some aggressive wealth accumulation.

For the philanthropy, I'll just note that these pledges don't involve literally transferring 99% of wealth out of their control. The vast majority of the pledged money goes to a trust the person controls, organizations they have some relation to, or just stay completely in their control for years with only vague non-binding commitments to eventually donate it. In return for this largess they get significant reputational and tax compensation.

"having autonomy and seeing their work make an impact"

I think we are talking about a different job. I mentioned it somewhere else, but strapping together piles of bot generated code and having to debug that will feel more like a burden for most I fear.

If a programmer wanted to operate on a level where "value delivering" and "impact" are the most critical criteria for job satisfaction, one would be better of in a product management or even project management role. A good programmer will care a lot about her product, but she still might derive the most joy out of having it build mostly by herself.

I think that most passionate programmers want to build something by themselves. If api mashups are already not fun enough for them, I doubt that herding a bunch of code generators will bring that spark of joy.

At that point, even if we lose we win because we'll all be drowning in amazing music. Then we'll have a different class of problem to contend with.
sure but now you only need testers and one coder to fix bugs, where you used to need testers and 20 coders. AI code generators are force multipliers, maybe not strict replacements. And the level of creativity to fix a bug relative to programming something wholly original is days apart.

As a resident of New Orleans I assure you the healthcare is not insanely good
With all the hype by authors, it is very poorly designed website, app frontend and documentation. I still cannot figure out how to use this thing. I installed the app and app has look of circa 2007. No help pages, how-to steps, guide or anything of value can be found. I go to Twitter and Safari on my phone and have no clue how do I bookmark/save anything to Readwise. Nothing on iPhone or Twitter shows "save to Readwise" or anything like that. Their webpage is just filled entirely with marketing fluff instead of actual user centric how-to content. At lease tell users how to use all the functionality you are relentlessly bragging about!!

The main thing in bookmark/offline readers is ability to search. I see tons of bragging on highlights and not much on search. Can I search by tags? How can I tag anything any way? Can I import my tags from places like Diigo? My primary question is always "where did I saw that?", not highlighting everything I read.

I use Diigo and they are almost opposite for the better. Solid and clear way of how to migrate from competitors should also be #1 focus but here basic stuff is missing.
Apple devices’ new collision feature triggering false alarms for emergency help
The blog post, repo and your comment still leave me a little confused about what Supabase's wrappers project is, the intent and its current state.

So this "wrappers" project is just a framework that simplifies the development and manages the curation and distribution of Postgres Foreign Data Wrappers? At the end of the day, are these just FDWs that run on top of any Postgres instance? Do I have to run Supabase to take advantage of the FDWs created through this framework?

Additionally one of your examples is Snowflake, but I don't see a matching SF FDW in your repo? Is there a generic JDBC/SQL/etc FDW for any SQL based database like Snowflake, Oracle, etc? Or is this just to create a spark in someone's mind (guilty!) about what is possible and yet to be implemented?

Despite my confusion, this sounds like a very exciting project to follow.

This is extremely fascinating to me as a layperson. Can you explain how this effect would be unique to mRNA? Like, could you get a flu shot and end up with some of the inactivated flu virus spreading around the body and sticking to other organs? Or is the spike protein collecting in other organs solely because the mRNA is telling those cells to produce it, whereas with a typical vaccine the dead virus could get into the bloodstream but it would simply float around the body without piling up anywhere til it's taken out by the immune system?
