There was nothing to stop any .exe from reading all your files and phoning home with them, which is even worse than Android. It was private insofar as your OEM and all the third party developers whose products you downloaded were trustworthy, which is not too far off of Android.

That's what I do now. But there's a bunch more setup:

- Install and configure Caddy to terminate the SSL. Caddy is great, but still stuff to think about and 20 lines of config to figure out.

- Configure systemd to run Caddy and my Go server. Not rocket science, but required me figuring out systemd for the first time and the appropriate 25-line config file for each server.

- Scripts to upgrade Caddy when a new version comes out (it wasn't in the apt repos when I did this).

- Ansible setup scripts to clone the repo, create users and groups for Caddy and my Go server, copy config files, add cron jobs for backups (150 lines of Ansible YAML).

It looks like you don't need most of this, or get it without additional configuration with Fly.io and Render.

It's kind of like the difference between Dropbox and "you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software." (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28153080)

No. United has a massive maintenance base at SFO and this sort of inspection is important enough that you wouldn't put a plane back in revenue service without conducting a check.

Tbh nowadays I use every new project as an opportunity to try something new. I'm in between a Fresh project, a Svelte project, a PWABuilder project, and a Qwik project. They all have their use-cases and {dis-}advantages so it's nice to know a lot of different tools for different jobs

But I've realized a lot of my projects can actually get by pretty far with just vanilla html/css/js and a good reset.css so I have a template for that that I continuously update and I've actually found that to be the most productive. Though that's likely a function of not having to learn something new unlike all my other projects

There's been suggestions on the React repo of dropping the suggestion to use CRA from the docs entirely since it's pretty outdated and not really in keeping with React's current philosophies.
I used a different phone number, a different email address, profile picture where you can't see my face, and used my middle name instead of my first name. It's likely that they use some combination of IP's that I logged in from, common friends, maybe cookies on one of my devices that I didn't think to clear first.
> Here it is, since you were not aware: "the amount and substantiality of the portion taken".

Yes. If you use only 1% of a work, then you are not using a substantial or large amount of the work and it is considered fair use.

But training doesn't use 1% of the work, it uses the entire work. No one is using 1/100th of an individual image to train, nor are they using 1/100th of a codebase to train, etc.

They're using entire individual works, and all those factors that are applicable are evaluated collectively, not in isolation.

Besides, all those factors become irrelevant if "...On the other hand, it is as clear, that if he thus cites the most important parts of the work, with a view, not to criticize, but to supersede the use of the original work, and substitute the review for it, such a use will be deemed in law a piracy ." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use)

It's hard to claim that the owners of ChatGPT and similar are not trying to supercede the works it is fed as input. They state as much everywhere.

> Instead, what I am saying, is that if there is a model, trained on millions and millions of images, the output of the model is fair use, because it is not taking significantly from your individual work.

Whether the output from the model is fair use or not is irrelevant to whether the input falls under fair use.

I must say your take is certainly novel, and no, I haven't seen anyone try to make that claim before; each time I have asked I have gotten a different answer.

I think a better case to be made is that ChatGPT is transformative, which would make it fair use.

If you read through the entire wikipedia article I linked above you'll see that:

1. All the factors are evaluated collectively, in relation to each other, not individually.

2. The burden of proof lies with the defendant, not the claimant. IOW, the court starts off with "prove that the use is fair", and not "prove that the use is not fair". From wikipedia "This means that in litigation on copyright infringement, the defendant bears the burden of raising and proving that the use was fair and not an infringement. "

In short, when the license says "not to be used as training data or learning data for any machine model", and it is ignored, the defendant is already in violation. If sent a cease and desist with a request for royalties, the defendant is already presumed to be in violation", and will have to prove fair use, which will (in order of factors) mean that they have to answer "No" to all of the following questions in court:

1. Is the output product being used for commercial purposes and/or profit?

2. Is the input work a freely available fact, or is of a nature that it's in the public interest to reproduce.

3. Is the proportion that is used of the input work insignificant (typically less than 1/100th) of the input work?

4. Does the output work harm the market for the input work?

The owners of ChatGPT are unable to answer YES to any of the above.

Congrats on the upcoming launch! I'm definitely very strongly considering using Neon in my upcoming project. Mind if I ask a couple questions?

Would you be able to comment on if Neon is a good fit for having one postgres database per user and how well that would scale? E.g. what if millions of users?

Also with the managed service, is there help with applying migrations or helping manage migrations for such a multitude of postgres databases?

Lastly, is there any way of querying across neon databases, e.g. aggregating data from many user's databases? I saw you partnered with Hasura a bit. Hasura would be a great fit here for aggregating and "federating" each user's postgres database, but with their most recent price change I'm scared of integrating too much with them. Wondering how you think one can best query e.g. a million user's individual postgres databases?

Thank you and feel free to ignore I know it's kinda asking alot
> Because this is irrelevant.

I made the point in a bit of a flippant way, but the strong authoritarian leanings of the people who dislike crypto are not an irrelevant point to me. Why are the people who seem to like telling others what to do the most also the ones who hate crypto the most? This pattern really activates my almonds.

> Any usecases crypto tries to provide or replace is never any better than the current financial system. We have UPI which launched in 2016 with already over hundreds of millions of active users using it for P2P payments, a goal that Bitcoin was supposed to achieve but completely failed in doing so. Anything Bitcoin can do, the current financial system can do it already or even better, safer with less energy needed. No matter how you dress it up, Bitcoin and all the other cryptos have no legitimate usecase whatsoever.

1) Once again, you're literally responding to a story where a non-profit allegedly got their money stolen by a mega-corporation. How did the current financial system protect them? (even if this case isn't accurate, you could substitute many other news cases. Just search for "paypal stole" in HackerNews for a pile of examples, just from one company)

2) I assume you're referring to India's UPI. I'm sure that this kind of financial infrastructure works phenomenally, just until the point that you're a political adversary and the government decides that it wants to mess with your ability to transact to stifle your voice. For people on society's margins who speak inconvenient truths, crypto's inability to easily get shut down is an advantage that the existing financial infrastructure cannot offer.
Are you asking about safety with respect to the Chinese market or the US market? Safe enough for China means selling into that big market.
You can't be serious. Spy balloons are definitely happening, just because not every balloon is one doesn't mean it's not so. You can't send a spy and have them fly over nuclear silos or collect transmission date from above them, then beam said data back to your home base near instantly, etc. You can't send a spy to the middle of the ocean above US assets in international waters either. Pretty silly comment. Spying is multi-facet. It's like saying spy satellites aren't real because you could just hire a crop duster and hook up equipment to their plane and have them fly over a city. Comically wrong.

I am growing tired and weary of some people thinking everything is fake or some distraction from other things, as if humans are completely incapable of focusing on more than one thing at a time.

Of course there are plenty of reasons not to move to android.

If you're used to Apple's ecosystem (laptop, tablet), your family also uses apple devices, etc it is not convenient to move to a platform that doesn't have all of the same conveniences.

Sure you may be able to get the same things done, but it's not convenient. doesn't mean people can't complain and want something better. People are allowed to just plain not like android. You don't give shit to people because they don't like to dress the same way you do.
>What types of things do humans not do with text prediction? Anything that doesn't involve the language processing parts of the brain, at least.

Let's separate out the robotics problem from the consciousness problem. Sure the brain solves both, but the things that a computer can't do yet because it has no body aren't fundamental limitations. We can just hook the computer up to a robot body eventually.

So to rephrase, what types of things can the brain of a blind paralyzed person do that text prediction cannot?

>To be fair, I did say that, but what I meant was that humans don't work the way ChatGPT does. Maybe we do use "overgrown text prediction" but we don't use word vectors, tensor calculus, and transformers.

Well, at least not consciously.

Really, the question about the question comes down to which one you care about: figuring out the phenomena of consciousness in general (studying humans as our only accessible reference implementation), or figuring out how human consciousness works in particular. Its easy to conflate the two.
IMO, ESBuild is the best option these days. It’s not as magic or batteries included as Webpack, but there’s very little kept secret from you during the compilation process. It’s fast too!

Another tricky alternative is to just use TypeScript’s compiler. Combined with the new import maps spec, you can target most modern browsers and skip bundling all together.
"For example, what risk is a residential REIT taking, especially one whose properties are all insured? By contrast, you can look at a business like a casino (or a catastrophe reinsurer), where it is legitimately the case that operating income is predominantly the result of risk-taking."

If you actually believe that a residential REIT is zero-risk and a casino is high-risk but they have the same ROIC, you should buy REITs and short casinos and you can make a big profit. That illustrates why there's probably a flaw in your understanding (though not necessarily! you might be able to make a big profit!). The market should have the same logic, and if this is actually true, REITs will be bid up and casinos bid down until the ROIC on casinos is higher than on REITs, appropriately compensating investors.

FWIW, REITs face a lot of significant risks, eg. a regional downturn could lead to all the workers becoming unemployed and vacating or not paying rent, or a rise in interest rates could increase financing costs, or rent control might be enacted and prevent the property management from raising rents as much as financial models predict. And casinos are actually much less risky than assumed: most gambling games have statistical models for how much they pay out, and with millions of games played reality tends to approximate the models very closely (due to the central limit theorem), and they tend to take out insurance on extreme black swan events anyway. I don't know the ROICs on either of these industries in detail, but I suspect that if it's similar, it's because the actual risks to them are similar.
It has some small latency but only when resources are spread across many different infos. If you can constrain your resources to a single DHT traversal, it's pretty quick. I run several services that stream from BitTorrent on demand, using https://github.com/anacrolix/torrent which are surprisingly quick to start. However it does choke up when you try to start many different resources at once, which multiplies horizontally the number of DHT traversals, and per-torrent related overhead to get started.

It is solvable, but any solution that spreads resources out across many different targets in the DHT is slow. Basically anything that was inspired by BitTorrent, but isn't BitTorrent itself does this, because they get overly excited by deduplication of data.

https://everymac.com/monitors/apple/studio_cinema/specs/appl... the 30" Cinema Display from 2004 consumed 150W. The IBM "Big Bertha" T220 in 2001 at 20" consumed 111W. So that's the era when I'd expect a 27" to consume 80W or even more.

By 2010 some 27" displays like the Sceptre X270W consumed less than 45W. https://images.anandtech.com/graphs/apple27inchcinemadisplay...

> but the focus of the Twitter files in this regard is clearly specific to the false Russia Trump connection propagated by Dem polticians and leftists.

Which makes the comment I was replying to (which is the comment one level above mine, not two levels above mine) even more incorrect, as it claims that the Twitter files prove that Russian meddling did not occur, which is a claim orders of magnitude broader than the claim that Trump-Russian collusion did not occur.
I partially agree, but also somewhat disagree with this. In theory it makes sense, but a lot of my education was also from the relationships with classmates where we could bounce ideas off of each other, and the help from TAs and professors when I got stuck.

If all of what I learned came from sitting in a lecture hall, then sure. And that’s how I learned the basic ideas. But a lot of how I learned to apply concepts was from making friends and studying together, or group projects, etc. Learning the different ways that other people see the concepts can help solidify them to you. Things that happen spontaneously by being in close proximity to people in your same class.

Learning together is part of the learning process that can multiply the classroom side. But it’s basically impossibly to have a casual spontaneous connection on slack or zoom.
My memory was correct. I found the section in the original proposal[1] that did not allow mixing nested rules and declarations:

> When a style rule contains both declarations and nested style rules or nested conditional group rules, the declarations must come first, followed by the nested rules. Declarations occuring[sic] after a nested rule are invalid and ignored.

[1] https://www.w3.org/TR/2021/WD-css-nesting-1-20210831/#mixing

Fortunately, this has been changed in the most recent proposal[2]:

> When a style rule contains both declarations and nested style rules or nested conditional group rules, all three can be arbitrarily mixed. However, the relative order of declarations vs other rules is not preserved in any way.

Computer Science has become a "programming" farm degree rather than what it was originally back in my day (grumble, grumble). It used to be an off-shoot of mathematics and was so strongly tied at the hip many schools had CS and math in the same department.

Cynically programmers are paid better than any other so-called "knowledge worker" field. Naturally, schools paid by large organizations have a vested interest in finding interesting ways to drive down wages. One of the easiest ways is to just pollute the waters with sub-par talent. As much as this website, Google, and many other FAANGs would like you to believe, the average person lacking a formal education in CS or a related field (math, engineering, etc) tend to make for the programming equivalent of one trick ponies. The wages have stayed high as a result.

Personally, I am growing tired of seeing all of these "learn to program" focused CS degrees. Even the one you have linked lacks the rigor of an ABET accredited program. For the last several years now every time someone tells me they like computer science what they have meant is they like learning to code. There's nothing wrong with this, of course, but CS is quickly going the way of the kleenex. I am not gatekeeping to be an asshole. There is so much beauty and richness of the field. It's like the people who read one pop-sci physics book and then put "physicist" in their linkedin.
I would recommend reevaluating your position after investigating this further.

Just one example: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/02/now-o...
The opening says that the three objects have "now confirmed to have been 'commercial or benign'", but that isn't true. It seems to be based on this quote from the White House: "The intelligence community is considering as a leading explanation that these could just be balloons tied to some commercial or benign purpose."[1] I was surprised that a seemingly thorough article would make such a mistake, but MSNBC also headlined their own reporting of this statement as "White House says 3 downed objects were commercial or benign."[2] Not great.

AI research, much like evolution, is strongly in the camp that anthropomorphizing is rational

Evolution doesn't have opinions so it's not in a camp.

Human behaviors like reciprocity and consideration for feelings are indeed part of human collective behavior. Calling such behavior "rational" misses the point - such behavior exists and we have the benefit of social existence because of it and this bring us benefits collectively. But individual calculating purely individual benefit would naturally just fake social engagement - roughly such individuals are know as sociopaths and they can succeed individually being a detriment to society. Which is to say a social creature is a matter of rationality but simply evolutionary result.

Still, the one thing most people would say is irrational is trusting a sociopath. Now, a Chat bot is absolutely a thing programmed to mimic human social conventions. A view that anthropomorphizes a Chat bot doesn't see that the chat bot isn't going to be actually bounded by human conventions except accidentally or instrumentally, basically the same as trusting sociopath.

> come up with the cleanest, easiest-for-humans syntax as possible

I'm definitely on the opposite end of this argument. I really think browsers should be focusing on efficient and theoretically rock-solid foundations. The fact that web standards are slow to evolve and become adopted is a feature, not a bug. If you visit a create-react-app project from 2 years ago you probably couldn't get it running today. I would like a web where a hand-made site from a decade ago still works

The global web standard should be reliable and efficient. Syntactic sugars should be left to the ecosystems and only adopted when they don't confer performance tradeoffs
