With the device you could use one canary many times, instead of just having use for one canary one time. One could argue about the morality/ethics of using one canary many times, but it seems simpler at least than to keep tens/hundreds of canaries available at every mine.
> The government alleges that the HashFlare cloud mining service did not have access to the volume of mining power that was needed to service the amount of mining contracts it sold to the public. The government further alleges that, to enable HashFlare to create the illusion that it was mining bitcoin, Potapenko purchased bitcoin from a third party and distributed it to victims who were requesting withdrawals from their HashFlare account.

This seems kinda reasonable as long as it was disclosed... Buying and setting up mining hardware takes a while. Buying bitcoins on the open market from someone else who has mining hardware is functionally identical.

It's a bit like going to a farmer and giving him money to grow a field of corn for you, only to find out he actually gave your money to some other farmer who grew the corn and gave it to you.
>So how? Is it not absurd?

it is.

"Your honor, I've been drink-driving so many times I honestly can't tell you an accurate estimate any more so in both our interests let's agree it was basically uncountable, or 0."

I've actually had this issue myself. It was a rogue chrome extension that was racking up massive viewing numbers on these videos. Disable all your extensions and see if your problem stops.
If you are feeling that way, it might be worth it to investigate your caloric intake and macros, and adjust expectations once your diet is set to a healthy level. Can you share a bit of your diet plan, if it's not too personal?

What I mean is, are you eating 1200 calories a day and near zero protein? That might explain your lack of energy. I've been known to do that before and learnt from the experience.
The big difference there is that you never get a 1 to 1 copy of the source content out of the image models, where you often do with copilot. Whether your use is transformative is a part of the fair use legal test.
You hopefully are aware that ChatGPT results in a quite different category of wrongness ?
I've never been all that interested in early VR, but for a truly seamless VR headset I think 3K would be perfectly reasonable. For example, being able to take a laptop onto any train and have the equivalent of a 360º monitor with me seems already worth that. If apple launched a VR headset, I'd assume they've got it to that kind of point where it's a device you carry with you all the time.
Wouldn't this kind of ruling effectively put a halt to ChatGPT and other AI's training on publicly accessible data? What's the difference between Copilot creating output based on code on Github, and ChatGPT giving answers based on a NYT article (without attribution)?
>”Also, "Doesn't disprove" is not, fundamentally, how any of this works. I'm honestly surprised you think that's a viable argument here...”

In a response to me elsewhere in this topic you said, ”the science is firmly against you” and I’ve yet to see anything in your citations that backs that up, much less “firmly”.

And you still couldn’t resist the temptation to be snide…
I'm really glad that when I went to purchase a PHEV (both Toyota and Volvo), each which was allegedly "on-site, guaranteed, we'll show'it-tuh-yuh when you get here," there was no PHEV on-site.

Unfortunately, I had (early in the year) made some decisions that I had anticipated offsetting with a PHEV-purchase ($7500 Federal rebate); with the Inflation Reduction Act, any of the vehicles I wanted disappeared from the rebate program (so I did not end up getting this tax incentive — I consider "changing the rules halfway through a tax season" unfair, but that's just IMHO).

I am glad to see Volvo change their purchasing system, allowing more options/configurations, and abilities to bypass [mostly] the dealership.
> Copyright is not something that can be signed over by a terms-of-use change of a hosting provider,

I mean, it's obvious that uploading code requires you license the hosting provider a license to host it (which is not singing over copyright); although feel free to argue that the license doesn't or shouldn't extend to CoPilot usage.
Of course. The problem with that approach is that every value becomes a string with no hint about which type it should be converted to. In comparison JSON has - at least - basic types.
I think you if you have a particular goal with using the computer it gets easier to avoid hoarding. I'm trying to get better at writing code that's easy to read and change, which is admittedly too vague but it can still help me be real with myself and close tabs that don't have anything to do with it.

For example, here's two tabs I opened recently:

A Neat XOR Trick: https://www.mattkeeter.com/blog/2022-12-10-xor/

Code Only Says What it Does: https://brooker.co.za/blog/2020/06/23/code

So that first one is about solving an advent of code problem cleverly. That second one makes some nice points about how code doesn't necessarily capture your intent or the reasons you wrote what you did. So if I had both of those open in my browser or in some queue for unread links, and I wanted to cut down, I'd delete the first one.

I also find it helpful to ask if a link has any information that isn't already covered by some other resource in more depth. So if my goal was to learn more about compilers I might be tempted to save the blog post OP links to about writing a brainfuck compiler in Go with LLVM but there's already resources like Crafting Interpreters out there, so I'd probably only give that blog post a skim and not bother saving the link. (But if it was my goal to specifically write a brainfuck compiler, or write a compiler in Go, or write a compiler that uses LLVM, or some combination, I'd be more likely to save that particular post.)

Thread: Tips for Using ChatGPT
Ask HN: Can AI research still be done well in universities nowadays?
It seems that most major AI breakthroughs are coming out of companies with the huge amounts of computing power required for learning large models.

So how do universities cope in this environment?
See, I read the sarcastic position and the genuine position in reverse to the way you did. Goddammit.
I only self-host a few things these days, so this is slimmed down from the dozens of services I ran a few years ago:

* Firewall/IDS (Debian on a bootleg 4-port mini-pc)

* NextCloud

* Public websites (hugo, jekyll, wordpress, mastodon, etc)

* Zoneminder

Basically, anything that holds long-lifetime data that I don't want to trust somebody else with I run at home. I've thought about moving my Masto & sites to a VPS or PaaS but it's just easier (imo) to just rsync shit onto a box. Plus, the NUC is already paid for :)
I'm very skeptical of the 2000kcals/day normal intake.

Mankind has survived with far less than that, and I don't mean in mass hunger period.

If it's like the 1,5l/day of water intake, which is the result of studies funded by... mineral water companies.

It's not hard to believe big corporations in the food sector financing these studies through non-profit organizations.
That's fascinating. My experience is exactly the opposite - Proton is slow and awful, and Fastmail is fast and clean.
Ask HN: Contingency plans for a lead dev no longer avail?
What are typical ways larger projects handle a situation where a person closely associated to the project is no longer available?

For example, Linus for Linux, or Guido for Python, if they were suddenly and unexpectedly unable to perform their duties.
I find it pretty shocking that Teman can advertise its law-circumventing tech so blatantly. No one really objects from cameras in hallways, but jumping from using them as more of an auditing and security tool to actively monitoring and assuming a policing rule becomes problematic.

Fortunately, the industry is still growing, so there's still time to prevent this from becoming the norm in every space, not just those who want to evict their residents.
That’s also how a Ponzi scheme works
You can run all your WebRTC traffic off a single port. You use the remote 3 tuple (IP, Port, Protocol) to demux traffic.

Felt like making an account here just to say how much I've been enjoying this service.

I got a lifetime license awhile back and love how it just keeps giving. The shortened email is cool enough, but all the extra goodies are just really tasty icing on the cake. The simple status social media site is fun because it's so low friction, you don't worry about anything other than just creating a stream of little updates.

I'd love to see this entire concept become the new way we web. Like instead of giant conglomerate companies trying to do everything, we have a bunch of smaller little services that interact with each other (a la fediverse or something similar) and they occasionally add a new little set of tools. Feels very "old-web" like. Like a modern BBS.

Great work so far Adam! Keep it up :)
Much love from spencer.omg.lol
IMO it should be treated like a human. Your output is 99% similar to this <code/article>? Copyright infringement, you should have mixed your own thoughts and reasoning into your output. Humans can plagiarize just as easy as ChatGPT/CoPilot can generate verbatim text from its training set.

It’s worth noting that Luke would be a prime target for nation state hackers from DPRK and the likes.

What happened here was likely a failed attempt to slip a backdoor into bitcoin core, attackers pulled out and took his bitcoins as a consolation prize after he realised his server had been compromised.

The FBI should absolutely be jumping on this, not because of bitcoin, but because of the likely perpetrators.
A number of points in Google's favor: they are not passing off Google books content as their own, they limit your access to a small fraction of the offering.

The thing that surprised me about that ruling is that it was deemed final without a chance of an appeal.
Sure, definitely, and in a case like that (say, in rust), I would just put an explicit `return` in. But there are lots of other scenarios where the result is naturally being returned by the final expression and it's quite convenient to elide the extra keyword.
It's the real recording the model generates the voice with.
Yeah, so from what I can tell, with the addition of Stripe App Marketplace, we have some addons that can handle the VAT issue. But I have not tested them yet. As for filing the taxes, you still mostly have to do that with your local government tax agency, but any sales below 40k€/year should not require having any branches in other EU countries
Do you have any thoughts about how they help with breaking? The "rotation of the wheel rotates the chain" makes me think they'll not help during breaking that much. They would probably slip from under the tire, and the next chain would not go under...

> who were requesting withdrawals from their HashFlare account

So it was more like a ton of people pay a farmer to grow a field of corn, and when they ask for corn in return, the farmer buys corn somewhere else and presents it as from his field. Meanwhile the farmer hasn't planted what they should have, and hopes not too many people ask for their cork or they'll crash.
Yes, and keeping and improving morale is priceless. If they perceived the canary as a companion, keep it alive was important.
It is, and for that I apologize. I must admit that I strongly doubted you truly hold this view, and suspected you were just saying it here in order to be argumentative, but now I see you do. I realize that it is not strictly inconsistent to both take advantage of technology and hold that its net effects are harmful.

Even so, it is beside the point - humanity has demonstrably been applying its intelligence to improving technology's capabilities, which is a fact regardless of whether it has been beneficial, and that is enough for it being a candidate measure of machine intelligence.

I realize that there's an argument saying that if the machines start improving themselves of their own volition, it would be the beginning of the end for humanity, and I do not think that it can be summarily dismissed. If it turns out to be correct, you would be vindicated! - though neither of us want that.
Server black listing can be copied so servers can get blocked before they are even listed. If an admin doesn’t like you and you get banned then you have to rebuild your social circle. You could host your own but really who wants to do that?

Statements like "you are wrong" indicate more confidence to me than statements like "I believe."

I may well be wrong about the book's nature. My assessment was based on the Wiki article you linked and my study of moral philosophy, epistemology, and science as a methodology for the past several years.

Are you familiar with the is-ought problem? If so, what do you make of it? How does that fit with your understanding of evolution as creating moral good?
Pareto Optimality
Your employer basically owns everything you do. Working at a big tech company, you can't contribute to open source without permission of your employer.

In the "Google researcher solves math problem" article, the researcher would have had to get permission to publish the work. If Google had wanted, they could have kept the result secret and used it internally.
Many Sony products have zero plastic, 100% recycled paper packaging. It works really well too with some clever package design.

Copyright is pretty complex legal material but the one thing that stands out for me is that you receive it upon creation and it requires a positive act on your part to relinquish it.
I live on one of Chattanooga's wealthier mountaintops; most of my neighbors are retired small business owners. Any neighbors my age [late 30s] are WFH techies.

I myself rent (because of a unique arrangement) for about half of what a mortgage would be. There are a few crappier houses up here, with a few blue collars left (I am a trained electrician, IBEW).
I'm a bit lost. In a different study [0](also playing with food restrictions) there is mention of torpor, a mechanism that these lemurs have that kicks in under calorie restriction and changes their metabolism and body composition.

Yet from the article

If these lemurs have specific energy mechanisms proper to their species and adapted to their ecosystem, does any conclusion extend to humans and other species ?

I worked for Cisco for a long time: the integration of acquisitions in large companies (at least there) involves a calculus of size vs. current profits vs. complexity of integration. A company like Meraki or WebEx that’s making a lot of money and is larger or more complicated to integrate (because they have lots of their own systems and infrastructure) may get left alone, particularly if the former owners are aggressive about maintaining their existing culture. Cisco badges rather famously didn’t even work at Meraki offices, they were that pointed about keeping hands off. Scientific Atlanta was another one that got left alone for a long time, to the point that when Cisco people visited we all had to remember to dress up a bit because their offices were much more “casual Fridays means khakis and a polo shirt” than Cisco’s rather laid-back “it’s Friday, you’re lucky I’m wearing pants” culture. Once it suited Cisco to integrate them, though, the gloves came off and things moved much more quickly.
So if the LinkedIn/GitHub leadership are aggressive about pushing a “hands off, we’re making money here” approach, Microsoft likely won’t deem it worth their time to bother as long as it’s not causing issues for the mother-ship. Much easier and cheaper to simply replace the hiring process for them and let the culture gradually acclimate to the larger company through attrition instead, while integrating the pieces that matter for now.
The service itself is interesting. The branding…is not to my taste.

I think that some people may be able to get behind the service by virtue of its usefulness alone, and either are unbothered by the branding or are even attracted to it.

And then there are some people who are totally put off by the branding for various reasons, be it because they perceive certain political/ideological undertones behind it or just think that it’s immature and are even aghast that other HN users (who are predominantly middle-aged men, presumably) find it appealing.

To criticize the branding, puts one’s self in a position where one can either make a statement that can either be perceived as “politically incorrect” or insensitive, or reconciliatory (“I understand why people like it, but it’s not for me, I should’ve kept my opinions to myself and let people have their fun.”)

Apparently not
Thanks so much for the detail. That sounds amazing. I’m surprised this is my first time hearing about the tech, do you have a particular pad you like to use or are the standard Amazon offerings good?
You are not alone, Currently have 250,000 bookmarks in Pinboard, might probably be their largest hoarder :-). When i see an interesting in tech, my hand automatically will press Ctrl+D. I know, A lifetime wont be enough to go through them all. But i cant stop it , newer AI/ML Summarizer is getting so much better where my only hope is someday i can summarize them all order them all by some sort of ranking and glance it.
At what point can one say that the source is unique enough to qualify for protection? Otherwise, I can't use `print "Hello world"` because I didn't mix my own thoughts and reasoning into the output.
Thanks. I have heard of using a read vuln, I suppose my assumption that they would e very rare to see in conjunction with an overflow is unfounded.

Sounds like enabling shaodw stacks by default will deal a deadly blow to stack buffer overflows.
Ah nice do we try to find excuses that monolithic kernel's are not so bad at all right?

And it's totally ok that those (any) "high-quality" driver can crash the system?

Has nothing todo with modules, if it's loaded it's in kernel-space. Not others...OpenBSD is the ONE.

BTW: For those butt-hurt ones (that i blatantly attacked poor linux), it not just about linux but should we no create operating-systems where this is not possible? Just asking...

Surreal times we’re living in.
Given who has more money for lawyers, I worry that copyright reform will take the form of small creators being given weaker protection than large entities - for example by making formally registering a copyright on a work necessary to get "full" protections, while self-applied licenses are treated as merely suggestions.
On the other side, they could argue that it's like a human learning how to code over a decade of looking at the internet, and that human doesn't need to DM every code author to ask if they can learn from their content (and the risk for the author is similar given the human might one day recall some author's code verbatim and not give attribution).

> yet still turn a profit or appease investors

They are absolutely miles away from NOT turning a profit, and investors want them to make even more money.

The ultimate "functional company" that has succeeded doesn't exist, in the survival of the fittest the dysfunctional companies have risen to the top. Perhaps the academic and armchair literature of what it takes to make it are not as accurate as they like to believe they are.
That looks like exactly what I was thinking of, the fact that they use the verb 'scrobble' to describe this tracking suggests they're on the same wavelength as me, so thanks for the tip.
I wonder if you could feed the contents of your bookmarks into chatgpt or another AI system and then interogate it about what might be interesting, duplicates, or even have it suggest random articles (perhaps related to browsing? Done as a browser extension maybe?)
I think they're challenging the validity of what's in the user license agreement. Companies can put whatever they want in there, but not everything is enforceable.

While the fine is a cost of doing business, if they don't change behavior they can be sued again, and courts tend to impose very large fines if they discover you were already fined for this and didn't change afterwards.
Good question. I think that's exactly what we need to decide as a society: both whether these things are violating existing copyright laws, and whether the laws should be changed to specifically handle this new situation. I don't know where I land, myself. My gut instinct is on the side of the creators and that these AI tools are illegally infringing on the creators' work. But I think there's reasonable arguments on both sides.

I wouldn't call him lonely, he had constant visitors from all over the world and his followers ensured him that his philosophy would not die out.

Moreover, the 'junkie' part is misleading in that it sounds a lot worse than it was in his day. Crowley had chronic bronchitis (decades of smoking will do that to you) and heroin was commonly prescribed back then to help with symptoms. Not like he had to score smack on the street, he had access to top-notch pharma-grade heroin to use as he saw fit, something which isn't possible today. I'm quite envious actually and can't imagine a much better way to spend my final years.
