Yet you continue to speculate about it and spread baseless FUD.

Consumer ISPs supporting IPv6 provide routers blocking inbound access by default. The interface to open IPv6 ports is usually labelled "IPv6 Pinholes" or similar, and you'll find hundreds of web pages on ISP websites describing the functionality -- just as they have pages on IPv4 port forwarding.

The extraordinary claim that ISPs are supplying routers with such a dangerous default configuration requires evidence.
Wait til I ask ChatGPT to create a vacuous story about an AI bot that wasn't encoded with Asimov laws called phatGCT and publish on Amazon...
This reminded me of the Netflix movie Bright (modern day Lord of the Rings kind of people), and while focusing on the main characters, it still manages to incorporate the realness of NPCs going about their lives.
I didn't even know this WAS a thing, I could probably do this between myself and ChatGPT and make millions. ;)
Similarly, if Google (and Googlers) have had access to this or better for some time, where is the step change in productivity / innovation / technology?
Good luck, the earlier you get into action the better.
Are you guys doing the TGA stuff yourselves?
Sure any kind of frame rate conversion makes it worse, but lots of 24fps footage has visible judder. The camera can pan fast and the frame rate is too low to show fluidly.

It’s part of the 24fps look, and film makers need to be aware and avoid it as best they can. But judder is definitely a thing at 24fps.

The shutter angle (how much of the 1/24th of a second the film/sensor is exposed for) also makes a difference. The larger it is the more motion blur you get, but it looks smoother. The lower it is the less blur in each frame, but the more obvious the judder as they’re played back.
I see it's able to generate politician faces. I recall this wasn't possible on DALL·E 2 due to safety restrictions.

I run a friendly caption contest https://caption.me so imaginAIry is going to be absolute gold for generating funny and topical content. Thank you @bryced!
I can't speak to its effects in Asia where I can imagine there's been some more direct economic impact, but as a long-time casual player in Europe, interest from my social groups has mostly (but slightly) risen post-AlphaGo.
I relate to the experience you've described in the first couple paragraphs. I agree. Feeling for others can get very draining (as can thinking for other people). You need to make sure you're keeping yourself, uh, healthy in order to be able to keep helping people, and that means setting boundaries. I wish I could help everyone, but I realistically cannot, and while sad, it is a good realization.
The John Wick movies have spoiled me for this exact reason; too many cuts in a fight sequence, and it feels jarring and unreal. It's sort of counterintuitive, but long uncut sequences demonstrating the quality of the choreography really ramps up the tension (IMO).
There's little incentive for good moderation, and there's little cost for any moderation, which makes sites business models work.

I agree with you that it has gaps and ugly side effects, but it also has the effect that a lot of things are working because you're not by default responsible for them because they've been commented on your server.
I enjoy that the JEP process allows for nice little small things like this. This isn't "we should have lambdas" or "Let's rebuild the type system to allow List<int>". But it's still a very common annoyance, and it can be fixed.
The only thing that matters to me is overall usefulness. If I had access to a practitioner of a craft to teach me, and they mostly lead me in the right direction but also had some dumb ideas and incorrect practices. Well I would still want to learn from that person and expect my self to be critical and improve on the work of my teacher.

As long as ChatGPT assists me more than it harms me it is quite powerful simply due to the number of different things it can assist me with, and the raw scalability.
In my experience the new strategy is to just send an email with no body, no title, optionally with an image of a conventionally attractive lady, in the hope
people respond after which they're automatically whitelisted (as there's now a 'conversation').
"Being evil", as you say, means saving money by leveraging synergies between products. If it wasn't a successful strategy, it wouldn't matter.
Well, seems to me this is the only leverage they have. So they're using it.

This "why don't we have reasonable and sensible and productive discussion and laws instead" argument is hilarious - because we don't have reasonable and sensible and productive discussion and laws in this country. So we're using the only tools we have.
I'm about halfway through this book. While it's full of fascinating ideas and information, it's badly in need of an editor. To me, it often reads more like a stream of consciousness than a structured essay. Also, I'm not particularly well-versed in the subject matter, but even I can recognize some of the massive logical jumps that they make based on the evidence that they present.

Had this simply been a book to exhibit new ways of understanding and exploring the merits of prehistoric societies, perhaps it would be more fitting of its title "The Dawn of Everything." I could see this working better in a format more like Charles Mann's 1491. Instead, it attempts to tackle a number of broader questions about modern society while slinging mud at every author in the last five hundred years that's touched upon them. Overall, my impression so far is that Graeber and Wengrow bit off more than they could chew. I want to keep reading for the information they present, but it's been a struggle to stay focused.

If you understand that the model is a tool, and that as a tool it can be used to generate activity that can violate laws and be used for other perfectly legal activities, then as a broad principle the distribution of said tool is not a violation of said laws.

Cars, phones, guns, knives (practically anything) can be used to generate activities that break the law. They are perfectly legal to distribute. The onus on the legality of the activity lies with the end user.
Well maybe for DNs but there can be deterministic systems that are learned through RL that aren't stochastic. But it's a good enough metaphor for a big part of what people talk about when they say AI.
Maggot wound dressings are incredibly effective at debridement of necrotic tissue. There's other approaches that can be taken (using enzymes, etc), but the maggots work great. Notably maggot therapy is only indicated for wounds that have necrotic tissue.

It works because the maggots eat the necrotic tissue but not the healthy tissue, so they're extremely effective for debridement.

I had some actual notes of research papers related to maggot therapy but those are stuck on a laptop that's in the shop right now so, no sources from me today.

On the topic of wound healing more generally, check out the slides I linked to here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34482547

I've personally used these moist wound healing methods to heal all manner of wounds of mine (lacerations, abrasions, and burns) with minimal scarring (and FWIW I'm someone that scars quite readily).

It's very sad to me that proper moist wound healing is insanely cheap and effective but most people [at least in America] are brainwashed to use several ineffective strategies:

- triple antibiotic ointments like neosporin which do not outperform petroleum jelly in RCTs; all the benefit of neosporin comes from its use of white petrolatum as the carrier gel. The actual antibiotic portion doesn't help and in a small subset of people causes allergic reaction type issues.

- gauze, which dries out wounds and makes them heal worse. For 99% of everyday wounds one of either hydrocolloid or transparent film dressings is all you need, and can be changed quite infrequently (every few days at most for hydrocolloids, if used on the right wounds ie wounds that have mild to moderate amounts of exudate)

- washing wounds with soap, which needlessly retards the healing process. All you need to do is rinse a wound with normal water to get any dirt or debris out, apply aquaphor or pure petroleum jelly and cover it with a dressing. Moist wound healing makes wounds heal at least 2x as fast as dried out wounds. Notably, if a wound ever forms a scab that is a sign that you screwed up by letting the wound dry out. Properly taken care of wounds never form scabs. For the same reason, the somewhat common practice of "letting a wound breathe" by removing the bandage and leaving it uncovered (I was told to do this overnight by my mom growing up for example) should never be done. Keep the wound moist and covered during the entire wound healing process, only changing the dressing when necessary.

MWH was initially proven effective in Winter's 1962 paper "Formation of the Scab and the Rate of Epithelization of Superficial Wounds in the Skin of the Young Domestic Pig", which showed wounds healing ~twice as fast when kept moist compared to control.
If less than 2% of the global population isn’t small then what is?
> Seems like it would also increase stress and encourage top performers to seek new opportunities.

There's a third route: cut hours.

Everybody gets every other Friday off, and with that 10% reduction in hours, they get a 10% reduction in pay.

It doesn't solve everything, but reduces the feeling of unfairness because your per-hour rate stays the same. (Provided you cancel less-important projects, etc. so that people actually have less work, not just nominally.)

I think this approach is more common in cyclical industries like manufacturing. If you're probably going to need those people again, you want to keep them around. But if the goal is to reduce the company size, you could try combining it with attrition.

A person with severe PTSD would greatly benefit from being left alone in the wilderness. How come therapists didn’t think of that? Probably another Big Pharma conspiracy. /s
An interesting article in itself, but more importantly how have I never heard about these two (in my opinion) damning facts about Amazon? Assuming these are true, this is astounding.

1. Amazon's search results are essentially a payola schema. How high you rank in search results is mainly based on competition on who bid the most to be ranked first. Each company needing to bid higher to regain lost position and more profit going to amazon. To the point that 45% of sales price going to sellers is now collected by amazon in various fees and payola style bidding.

2. Assuming the above is true, then Amazon is running such an inefficient rent seeking market place and sellers are losing so much money that clearly a competitor would pop up and sellers could both make more money and consumers could get goods for cheaper. A true, win-win. But Amazon blocks that competition by saying you're not allowed to sell goods anywhere else for cheaper than you do on Amazon. Meaning customers can't benefit from swapping to a site that doesn't do all of this rent-seeking, so Amazon can keep rent-seeking.

These are both incredible descriptions of what Amazon is doing. Can someone confirm these? If so, how has anti-trust not already been passed against them?

> That's when Amazon started to harvest the surplus from its business customers and send it to Amazon's shareholders. Today, Marketplace sellers are handing 45%+ of the sale price to Amazon in junk fees. The company's $31b "advertising" program is really a payola scheme that pits sellers against each other, forcing them to bid on the chance to be at the top of your search.

> Searching Amazon doesn't produce a list of the products that most closely match your search, it brings up a list of products whose sellers have paid the most to be at the top of that search. Those fees are built into the cost you pay for the product, and Amazon's "Most Favored Nation" requirement sellers means that they can't sell more cheaply elsewhere, so Amazon has driven prices at every retailer.
No where near enough radiation. See the inverse square law.
This JEP draft touches on an interesting tension in language design (and perhaps many other kinds of design) between a desire for rules that aren't unnecessarily restrictive and a desire for rules that are easy to communicate to the user. I.e. there's value in accepting more correct programs but there's also value in easily communicating why a program is rejected, and sometimes there can be tension between the two.
This is about all its' good for, it won't even write sexy fan fiction for me
ok I really can't speak for the first part, but the more I think about it, the more preferable than the layoffs to me it seems...

* not sure why is this communist spirit, the difference in levels and salaries still remains, but presumably you're not as mad because the cut is by design not targeted at you

* discerning who is a performer and who is not cannot be done instantly, especially if the managers themselves are getting cut (and kept out of these conversations), so even the layoffs end up being random and blind, like the cut. Just read all those linkedin posts from people with 10+ years and recent promos getting booted currently

* if you are really concerned about top performers, double down on bonuses, say next time you're going to get 2x the usual bonus, which will give the company some time to measure performance at a normal pace
Why would the owners pay a man $200M/yr of their hard earned money, if he comes to them to say he doesn't know how to do his job?
well, you don't need ChatGPT for that. I receive daily scam in my gmail with 99% the same content each time (and i mark it spam each time)... the worst part ? the server serving it is google (but the email attached to it is always a different obscure email)
Are you interested in joining our human mesh network? For the price of 420.69 we offer a wearable necklace with a raspberry pi attached to it and a green solar panel t-shirt to ensure power/uptime. Become the internet now! Restriction may apply, sorry not available in Hawaii or Alaska.
They didn't say anything about 'healthy' though. Reddit, Twitter and Facebook have lots of trolls, off-topic conversations and flamewars (and spammers aren't that rare either), and yet they thrive.
No, it doesn't. It does make learning it practical considering it's what everyone uses.

If you think you can do better, please do! Let me know when you've gotten a few projects to switch over and I'll gladly learn that, too. Not a lot of projects using mercurial these days.
>A UBI is more widely palatable because it isn't threatening to stop anyone's unjust gravy train.

Except everyone who peddles the existing programs UBI is supposed to be replacing.
Exactly. We should be realistic about AI and ChatGPT and LLMs. You have great example of how “confidently” produced atrocious results even with the oft-cited ad hoc solution of “follow up” it gave even more misinformation and you, the user, only know this because you happened to know the answer. Oddly enough, if you google the types of things you are talking about, you will largely get the correct answer as the first result. There is something to be said about being naive about the potential of LLMs models but I am astounded how hyped and eager everyone is to hand over the future of all knowledge work to them without even clear evidence that that would make sense.
Not only is the icon forced on you, the whole browser is.
I can’t find it but Gmail actually had some sort of whitepaper or something once about Gmail-originated SPAM and how it became a huge problem which was partially the reason they started doing phone verification.

The parent’s comment is valid. Any modern email peer is doing domain based reputation which is possible thanks to SPF and DKIM, and if you don’t have those configured you’ll have a bad time. Then it’s the job of the domain owner or email operator (postmaster) to make sure you’re not blasting out SPAM and respond to abuse feedback. If you think about it, this is the only sane way for email to function without preauthentication.

The only major outlier to this is Outlook, which is still doing IP based reputation. And of course a long tail of small server operators that rely on legacy SPAM lists from decade ago and reject only legitimate emails and pass through plenty of Viagra ads.
It specifically doesn't put any user at any more risk than we're already at. s230 protects hn from liability, it doesn't protect you, the user from liability.

I sell handmade sculptures of influential people and famous monuments on Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/jurgenstudio. Revenue is 2-6k USD depending on the season. I hired someone part time who took over production and shipping. it's mostly passive revenue for me apart from growing the business by developing new products when I feel like it. The profit margin is around 50% after all material and labor costs are paid.
I doubt it. If they want to see you though a wall, they will use an overpriced custom radar solution, not consumer electronics with COTS software.
In your book because you have organised your entire workflow around it.

Correct, this 'countermeasure' is for a fantasy world in which it's easier to compromise your router than set up a couple clients and a router nearby.

Also, realistically, wi-fi isn't the boogeyman here, even though the person you're replying to has been doom-posting about it for years - UWB and various other tech is going to make detecting location and movement from RF frequency fairly trivial.

I guess in my mind I meant in order to know it's Ford's official account, the username url would have to be something like ford@ford.com. Every instance will end up with a ford@poa.st or ford@mastodon.social and it's not going to be clear who is the real one and who isn't (at least without being deep into fediverse drama). I don't think people will want to (or have time) to check whether every post they come across is from the official account or not
Desktop computers have been around since there 1960's, and Apple's first computer was released in 1974. I think people understand what computer programs are without some clumbsy or awkward metaphor. ChatGPT isn't sentient, it's a large language model (LLM) that performs better than a Markov Chain but the underlying principal isn't so far off, but it's still a computer program. One that you can anthroponorphize readily, but it's still just a computer program, albiet a modern, and quite impressive one. It's a tool like a hammer
I have seen this in video games where there is some resource that respawns too quickly and the players just end up cycling back to the powerup every n-seconds. Easy to get stuck in a local minimum.
> roughly 2X the performance of Macbook Pro with M2 Pro at the thickness and size of MacBook Air by the end of this decade.

besides compiling code, training models, or rendering videos, what else really benefits from this level of performance increase? like what "need" is there at consumer/professional levels? obviously better efficiency is always good for a ton of reasons. just curious if there's a "need" where we are wishing "man, wish CPUs/GPUs were 2x as fast!"

what doors does this open that aren't already open? i feel like i wouldn't really notice if my CPU doubled performance wise tomorrow.
IIRC the maggots need to directly eat the dead tissue, so they are basically directly on the wound. The maggots themselves are covered with a dressing so you can't see them, but my understanding is they can be somewhat felt. On the "bright side", a lot of the times maggot dressings are used for chronically unhealing diabetic foot ulcers, and those wounds often have little sensation due to diabetic neuropathy and other issues that prevent the affected individual from being able to feel much in their extremities.

EDIT: Hmm, it seems like from the article that they have access to the dead tissue but through a porous type material, and apparently consume the dead tissue by liquefying it with enzymes first and then "drinking it", so not quite as direct as I remembered I guess.

> ...greenbottle fly larvae are grown in the lab, disinfected, and put into finely woven net pouches about the size of a teabag that are then placed on patients’ wounds for four days. The maggots work their magic through the material and the bags are removed before they turn into flies.

> As larvae feed on dead tissue in a wound, they release chemicals that break down dead tissue into a liquid that they drink, according to Chelsea and Westminster hospital, which offers larval therapy. They also take up bacteria, which are destroyed within their gut, but do not eat healthy tissue. When applied to the wound the larvae are the size of an uncooked grain of rice, and grow to around 10-12mm during treatment. They cannot bite, since they do not have teeth, and they cannot multiply.

---

Ah, I see I was thinking they are directly on the wound bed because of this video I was remembering, but the video actually shows naturally appearing maggots (aka not intentionally placed there): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxzciEVJGwY (not for faint of heart)

When I google, I have an internal dialogue about whether the results are shit to begin with, if they aren't, maybe the thing I'm looking for is more niche, so it's not in the top ten results. ChatGPT could for example just maybe try 5 google searches in the background, just glean data from the description, title, question asked, date, etc, and maybe use some of it's own scraping on the top 10 results to reorder them and give better summaries.

E.g. imagine when you search via chatgpt. It googles : search phrase, search phrase + reddit, search phrase variation 1, variation 1 + reddit, var 2, etc... all in parallel almost then uses that to mini-tune an ai model to find the stuff that best matches what you're really wanting to find, and then scrapes top ten for results.
