There are aboriginal people with a diet low in protein like New Guinea highlanders who subsides mostly on sweet potato and other starchy vegetables. Their protein intake is like 35-40 grams/day, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7328441/

Yet they are not known for a particularly long life span. One can argue as aboriginal people they do not have access to modern medicine and most people die from preventable diseases. Yet it does allow to doubt that just by protein restrictions one can noticeably prolong life in humans.

Also their dies is low in fats, so again, this makes one skeptical towards claims that low-fat diet prolongs life.
Hello fellow hackers

Happy to share this announcement of the latest version of Atlas, our open-source schema management tool.

With this version, Atlas gets first-class support for SQL for defining the desired state of the database.

Think of it like "terraform apply" for your MySQL/Postgres/etc. Previously your schema needed to be define in an HCL syntax we maintain, now you can use plain ol' SQL!

Will appreciate feedback and comments!

I've produced a few pieces of software that has user generated content as a feature and every lawyer I've used to draft the ToS has added provisions that gave my organization explicit rights that extend beyond whatever other licensing may be applicable. Both in being able to improve our own features or create new ones with that content and other rights that would indemnify us from a wide range of legal issues.

I'm curious to see how this will be litigated because of that. The difference here seems to be how publicly Copilot's use of user generated content has been, the wide range of licensing that content falls under and the fact this is an entirely new product produced by a third party with a partnership versus a 1st party tool.
You + me the many ... some poor schmuck that few.
That's really cool. I had assumed they always sacrificed the bird and I can't imagine everyone being OK with that over time. Regardless of the cost, most people don't relish the idea of killing an animal even if it means their own survival so it doesn't surprise me that an invention like this exists.

As the article states, I can imagine the miners responsible for this duty became attached to the birds (especially after they had a way to keep it alive).

There's a detail that got lost in the shuffle there, though. While it had been possible to detect CO presence since -- I think -- the 20s or 30s, they didn't become common until the 80s. My Dad used to fly a private plane across the country selling CO detection solutions provided by his company to factories and businesses until the late 80s (from a little company in Ann Arbor, MI). Of course, come the mid-90s, most of us had devices that could detect presence and (to a lesser degree) levels in our homes.
Here's some lawyers arguing the opposite, that a free software license is a binding contract, and in particular for the US one, that there is the consideration that the Mattel case argued wasn't there: https://lwn.net/Articles/747563/
The FBI maintains databases of individuals that they consider potential terrorism with such weak definitions that anyone who uses a blockchain application would qualify[1]. When you are put on the list, they will never confirm or deny whether you are on the list. However you will find yourself losing rights to internationally travel freely without harassment, may have computing devices compromised by agents, may have wiretaps or microphones placed in your residence, and more.

I will admit that they do target US citizens less than others, but most hashflare victims are not US citizens and do not get those protections.

I don't know if you use firefox and tree-style tabs (unlikely, but far more likely here than anywhere else.) If you do, there's an extension for tree-style tabs (an extension for the extension) called "Fade Old Tabs." It allows you to color tabs based on how long it's been since they were accessed. You do this by setting a age range for tabs to be painted gray. Tabs not accessed since the beginning of that range are panted dark gray, and tabs accessed after the range are not colored at all.

So if you have 700 tabs and 600 of them you haven't opened in a month, you'll see them and it might make a difference in your habits. It also makes it easier to surf your open tabs when you're bored, rather than surfing randomly and adding new tabs.

Learning from others is copyright infringement, better make sure none of your code contains any sequences longer than 150 characters that match any other code ever written.
There is a difference between products and research in this case. Frequently, research is allowed by law as an exception, where building a product requires some more extensive agreement.

Unfortunately this is frequently abused where researchers build a model under the exemptions, and then others use that model commercially, even if they wouldn’t be allowed to build that model directly themselves.

Anyways, the scientific progress would continue, but products would halt until product developers get some kind of agreements with content creators (eg maybe people start adopting a new kind of open-ish license).
It will be a real shame if the fantastic achievement of OpenAI with copilot etc is smothered by ego.

Innovation in code should be heralded but if in the majority of cases the coder using Copilot and similar tools is just saving time on bog standard functions they could write themselves, it's difficult to understand why that needs to be attributed.
It's no different from how current copyright works for us humans. Something is only copyright protected if it's a "sufficiently original" work and "possesses at least a minimal degree of creativity" https://www.copyright.gov/comp3/chap300/ch300-copyrightable-...
It's not a zero-sum game. You can have both, but you need to build enough to have it. Regulating the use of a thing is a mark of market failure. How would you feel if the government told you that you could only use a pencil for writing because that has more social value than its use in making a model log cabin?

You're also failing to process my point: that banning short-term rentals is an ineffective lever, not that it won't have an epsilon of impact. Yes, you will increase supply by a tiny amount relative to the shortage. It will have near-zero pricing impact because the magnitude pales against the problem.
This is so irrelevant it's annoying. None of those other companies sell the data after stripping the copyrights. Stop comparing them.
I think 2.13 and 3.x are about par on compilation speed. sbt does add overhead, reportedly it can slow down compilation speed by half.
Actually now you come to mention it I haven't noticed it very recently - maybe I've stopped looking at those suggested slideshows, maybe I've turned a setting off without realising it.
This is a valuable reply because it describes my own experience so well. Thank you.

Next week it will snow again, we'll all go skiing and forget this
It depends. Is it technical writing? Then I agree with you. But literature is meant to make you feel a certain way, to paint a mood or a picture, or even to experiment with language.

The "AI" has trouble with that because it's fundamentally a machine for recombining already existing information.
I think the main benefit of such a law is that it prevents wasting time on positions without competitive salary ranges. I don't want to have to go through 3 rounds of interview just to find out at the end their budget is locked at 12$ per hour.
This whole story sounds like an intro track of an imaginary "Wild Crypto of ICO 2017" album if it was a thing. There are so many tracks yet to be discovered.
lol a OneTab newbie, eh?

I've used OneTab (and then switched to BetterOneTab). Been using it for about 5 years or so. I have dozens of exported "backup" files, because after a certain amount of saved tabs, the extension stops working. You can't save any new ones. I've lost maybe 100 tabs so far by adding them to OneTab only to discover I was at my limit and nothing got saved. It then stops allowing deletions (they come back after refreshing the extension page). So I have to export my hundreds or even thousands of tabs, uninstall the extension, and then reinstall it. And then I keep hoarding.

I have a real bad case of digital tsundoku. Even as I type this, I have roughly 80 links from HN opened, two dozen or so Twitter tabs, probably 30 YouTube tabs, and then a healthy heap of other miscellaneous sites. I know I will never get through this infinite backlog. Even if I were to squirrel myself away and do nothing but open each tab, digest its contents, and move on to the next, it would probably take me years. And I would be so burnt out I wouldn't be digesting well enough. Plus, most of that information is probably, at least slightly, outdated.

...Oh well, time to open up another dozen 3-hour long YouTube "mini" docs about niche subjects I have no engagement in.
only took them 7 years, great work!
100 flights for 200 cubic meters of snow.

However, the heli strategy did not work, as the CEO explains in “Capital”: “This attempt did not work,” says In-Albon. The amount of snow per flight is too small and loading and unloading too difficult.

It didnt even work.

Hi, I recently created an open-source project that does semantic search on code bases. You can check it out on https://github.com/rahuldan/codesearch

Would love to hear your feedback
I've never rented a place that came with a convection oven. When I recently purchased a home, the oven that was here was also not a convection oven. An air fryer is just a small convection oven that sits on the countertop. But this has real benefits. You get better browning by being close to the element. It is more energy-efficient because it heats far less air. You get the benefits of convection. They also tend to be much easier to clean.

There are costs - you waste counterspace and you need to own another thing. But "just buy a convection oven" isn't an option for a lot of people.
> 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 would make sense and it would be argued on its own merit. The judge/jury will decide if this argument is correct and legal.

But the article implies that there are lawyers and infringers out there who are arguing that they could not have possibly afforded the cost of not infringing, so they were justified in their infringement. Since when did the massive cost of avoiding infringement become a valid reason to carry on with infringement? This seems just plain absurd by common sense. How do lawyers and infringers make this argument? How is it even entertained in court? What am I missing?
There is arguably a connection between the "AI art" community and the crypto/web3/NFT[0] communities. There are also credible allegations that at least one prominent NFT project had a white supremacist undertones[1].

I wouldn't go so far as to say the AI/crypto communities are full of white supremacists or nazis but there's certainly a cultural underpinning there that is more welcoming to them than in other communities. That said, it's not exactly like tech spaces in general are doing a good job at keeping them out, especially ones celebrating "apoliticality" to a fault by regurgitating hacker culture myths about meritocracy.

But yeah, I strongly believe that you can't separate the means from the ends. Human development is ultimately about people interacting more than technology. You can only introduce a technology designed with bad intentions to a community without poisoning it only when that community is innoculated against it and maintains its vigilance. But some technologies simply aren't worth salvaging because they're manifestations of the values they were designed with.

Luckily I think that applies more to crypto than to AI, where the damage it causes is largely a consequence of the economical system we exist in rather than the tech itself. Namely, creators not being compensated for the creations that feed into the AI and jobs being lost to cheaper products generated by the AI.

[0]: Noteworthy case in point being that many widely known NFTs are procedurally generated using templates created by artists who typically do not continue to benefit from the NFT sales themselves and that there is a massive problem of art from sites like Devian Art ending up as NFTs without the creators' knowledge or involvement.

I like this distinction between raw data and processed understanding; thanks for sharing your insight!
> When it comes to open source code I suspect it will be found to be similar, if the code is freely visible on the web by a human without an active agreement to view it, then it will be possible to "scrape" it. I don't think the license the code is under will apply if that is the case.

I don't see the scraping case applying here -- the idea that all human-readable code accessible on the public internet can be ingested into such a system without regard for its license would effectively mean that anything posted to the public internet is entered into the public domain, which seems ridiculous on its face (especially when the author(s) is including an explicit license alongside that code, which the scraper can theoretically also read and account for).
You realize there are entire towns and villages whose lives depend on this tourism, right? I'm not saying it's a perfect solution to fly snow in, but you can't discount the impact this has on the population if the resorts close down.
Right, and I think the person trying to legally poke the status quo on this issue is an idiot (as in, they are in Carlo M. Cipolla's lower left quadrant) because it will either blow up in their face or it will blow up in everyone's face.

Same as with Oracle vs Google, other than a bunch of court room sophists, nobody really gained anything.
That's not obvious, because you don't necessarily own the code you're uploading. I can upload any sort of MIT-licensed, BSD-licensed, Apache-licensed, Creative-Commons-licensed, or GNU-copylefted works I want, anywhere within reason and compatible with those licenses, but if I didn't write them then I don't have the legal right to relicense, grant exclusive or restricted license to any specified parties.

So in a way this would void parts of many TOS agreements where you do relicense your User-Generated Content. If we're uploading memes to Facebook, they're gonna have to work out license terms with the copyright holders, not the uploaders.
Last week here in Oregon, a storm with 50mph gusts came through and blew over two groves of trees here at my farm. Dozens of trees crashing down in the space of hours. Got very lucky in that they all managed to avoid doing any serious damage to structures or vehicles.
Thanks for the comment! We find that if a parent actually uses the product, and it changes their child's relationship with reading, Ello is quite sticky. Our biggest issues with churn are related to cost of the product and activation (people cancelling without ever using it). In terms of advice: 1) talk to parents about their pain points and iterate again and again, 2) be aware that a product that increases "work" rather than easing it, that causes a lot of resistance and friction.

We took a look at read along - it seems to have fallen off. I think the biggest issue with read along was the approach to supporting kids (it just gave the words rather than coaching the child through decoding them) and the quality of the "books" (the stories weren't that engaging and the illustrations were simple). The quality of the story matters a lot.

We looked at soapbox but for a number of reasons, we want to build our own speech recognition technology and have the team to do it! There are some issues with the time is takes for soapbox to run as well as the accuracy of the model. Thanks again!
I organize the python Atlanta group and have began working at the start of last year to go back to in person events. We finally had our first one in September 2022. Then a well set up event in December 2022 (thanks to JFrog btw).

Goal for this year is to continue improving the events and turn them into mini conferences and workshops. Pyatl is rather old and there’s a big membership.

I’m also expecting to support other local groups in the process of restarting their events. Local meetups are crucial for the industry and we need them to come back better than ever.

Protip: volunteer at your local groups. Doesn’t take much time and the benefits are really good.
Is that 15.6 or 14? It costs 1500.
> Waze tells you where cameras and cops are, Google Maps usually does not.

Cameras are only really relevant in Europe. We don't really have these in the US. I do get the cops angle - google maps doesn't really do this.

> I don't think I've ever needed to do this

Tesla uses google maps under the hood and its auto adjustments are incredible (as good as Waze). However, every once in an awhile you want to "look ahead" and the Carplay simply sucks for this feature.

> Pretty sure the pricing starts at €94,540

It literally says in the description:

To an extent sure. Parents should also realize that adolescent youth will seek out pornography, and that's normal and not necessarily unhealthy.
Can you provide more context?

"What's your deal" is normally a rude thing to say, but I use the phrase pretty liberally :)
Thus the term "air fryer." The idea is that you get results similar to frying but only via heated air. Does this marketing really merit "debunking?"
>It is known that it produces verbatim copies of sections of code, so the 'derivative' explanation doesn't hold water.

For reference it's been shown to cough up code from Quake verbatim. This from John Carmack(?) also includes his profanity laden comments:

I can't find a charitable reading of your response that makes the core issue you're replying to any less of a concern:

The problem is that accounts are just shut down, moneys are held, and there's no quick or clear communication, with customer support simply saying it's not in their control
I would be interested when you deploy the desktop app. I wonder if something like a browser extension would be a good fit here to offload the manual file download step.

> There are even some driving scenarios where the butterfly not only becomes impractical but potentially dangerous....

> As for the lack of stalks, Tesla replaced all of their functions with force touch buttons on the wheel, even for things like turn signals and the horn. Musk’s logic is that “all input is an error,” and that the car should automatically perform all the functions that were on the stalks (now on the force touch buttons).

Was Musk's New Year's resolution to shatter, one and for all, the world's belief in his competence?

All of these choices were really, really stupid.
> moving out of GitHub when Microsoft bought it was the right decision

What do you use instead?

The top alternatives in my opinion are:

- SourceHut https://sr.ht/

- Codeberg https://codeberg.org/

- Self-hosted using Forgejo https://forgejo.org/ (fork of Gitea)

I was self-hosting my code with Gitea for a while but currently I’m using GitHub. Planning on setting up a Forgejo instance in the coming weeks.

At work we use GitLab, but personally it is one of my least favourite platforms, so I am excluding GitLab from the list above.
Wish them the best. It’s fascinating seeing the older generation in Iran and Russia blame America for every protest against their power.

It seems to be losing its effectiveness with the youth of their countries.
I'd never risk that. The pressure that builds up in such a tank, and what happens if you were to somehow dent the tank should scare the crap out of you.
The related dynamic here is why large companies can't innovate as much or as fast as startups.

Actual innovation is quite wasteful and you wind up going down a lot of dead ends where all you can really say at the end is "well I guess thats one way to not make a lightbulb". This is a land for obsessive nerds.

But if your goal is the next promotion or more headcount you can't afford to take that kind of risk. Instead orgs wind up optimizing for pretend work that makes a great powerpoint at the end of the quarter. Remaining energy gets spent on trying to backstab or downplay other projects - competing for a perceived limited pie, rather than trying to make more pie.
As well, Google is, because of these things, somewhat acting as a library.

An libraries are very special entities.

I wonder who's decision was it to train the bots in 'code that is accessible to our scraper' and not in 'code we can sell derivatives products of'. I can tell the second group is quite small, so I understand the incentive, at least.

Maybe they chose the Uber strategy of 'What we are doing is bordering on illegal but by the time the bell rings we'll be valuable enough to write the law ourselves'.
Copyright covers expression, but not the ideas themselves. So it should be ok to mine ideas from projects, open or not, as long as the model doesn't reproduce expression. And even expression can be copied if it is small enough, trivial, public knowledge, the only obvious way to do something or an API call.

If you want idea protection you need to look at patents.
They should be charged with attention piracy
Yes, had to deal with this BS. We simply only use meetup to list the events. Don’t really use the other features. There’s no incentive given that the value we get is too low.
Consider replacing "Or" with "And" in your comment, because none of these disruptions are mutually exclusive. All of them can and probably will happen simultaneously. Here are a few more, off the top of my head:

* Video game characters will speak lines generated on-the-fly depending on in-game context, instead of lines pre-recorded by voice actors. Game makers can train LLMs to generate lines of dialogue for different characters given the state of the game, and have the characters speak those lines.

* We will eventually see the death of voice acting in all its forms -- video games, cartoons, advertisements, etc. Inevitably, we'll see famous actors and their legal representatives figuring out how to secure rights to their recognizable voices.

* Spammers and criminals will start using familiar voices to con targets ("listen, I've been kidnapped while on vacation; please send the money now"). Sooner or later, dark-web hackers are going to harvest samples from everyone's shared video and audio clips at scale.

* Videofakes are going to get a lot more realistic and interesting, with faked characters speaking just like the real ones. Famous actors and public figures should brace for the impact this technology will have on black-market uses, including (as always) pornography.
