> Widevine has been privately cracked/bypassed.

Sort of.

Widevine has various levels, and there are exploits for the lower ones.

But the upper ones really only have a vulnerability if a hardware key gets extracted, and Netflix shows in higher resolutions are increasingly not available anywhere because of that. Stranger things Season 4 was only available at 720p for more than a month.
Not if it breaks old web pages out there. It's nice that we can still browse websites that haven't been updated for a decade or more.
Nobody caught this reference.
I think it's partially because Microsoft lucked out with openAI and happened to "acquire" the right company for the job while Googles AI Division is still focused on research.

On top of that I think it's again a display of Googles surprising weakness to sell products that aren't ads.

Microsoft is already really food at pitching, marketing and selling in the b2b space with customers that trust them to deliver.
> Correct me if im wrong, but their AI is not AGI (or even anywhere close), so most of their products that use it simply use it as a halfassed replacement for a proper algorithm (to solve the problem). Its basically fancy statistics.

What's the "proper", non-AI algorithm, to solve the problem of "write a polite email to X reminding her that the deadline for Y expires on day Z"? This is a real problem that ChatGPT & co. solve in my everyday life.

And what's wrong with "not AGI"? Since when is AI's only goal to achieve AGI?

Is anyone tracking whether remote workers get laid off more or promoted less?
Web Serial, WebUSB, WebVR to name a few.
you could argue that flash fell under this category, but that also perfectly demonstrates how much of the web was made inaccessible as a result of removing it

The real revelation for me is just how mentally taxing driving is. I _hated_ going to the office and felt like shit every weekday. Then I moved to an inner city apartment and walked to work and I loved the office and the walk in. I’ve been remote working for 2 years now as it let met access better jobs in another city but it’s really starting to get to me so I’m moving to that city so I can get back to the office.
Well, tbh I was trying to kill engagement on the post in a way that will cause others to copy it later thereby killing engagement on this junk forever but there is some skill here that I lack. The gnashing of teeth and wailing will proceed.

Look!! Over there!! Shiny thing!!
I personally would prefer to working remotely (at least 4 days a week) unless my commute is less than 15-20 minutes but executives put significant value in seeing people working from the office. If they'll decide to save (offices are not cheap) and hire a remote developer what would stop from hiring around the world? Developer salaries in developed countries (and especially the US) are much higher than world average.

Working from office you compete with candidates in the same city or in the same country if willing to relocate. Working remotely one have to compete with the whole world.

This is example of blindly overengineering problems easily solved by actually looking for origins of problems first.

Exactly these magical artificial solutions are the problem. Our money is burnt to chase high tech dream stocks instead of basic things that should be obvious to everyone but isn't. Heard about Sinclair?

Like fixing cancer by not prevention of metabolic diseases causing it keeping high quality standards of food in shops, limiting pesticides, GMO, processing of it to minimum feeding animals with what they supposed to eat and planting on soil naturally fertilised and fully mineralised but instead doing direct modifications of genes, these which work perfectly well naturally if given back normal human conditions..

And then looking for solutions to problems caused by (God forbid irreversible) own blind solutions...

as what we observe continuosly in last years after creating global condition unseen in nature... with maybe irreversible impact looking forward
After years of using transitions I concluded that there is nothing better than a static (non) transition. Heavy usage of apps/sites with transitions leads to dizziness

Why? Web usb and web serial are awesome for point of sale applications. To interface with scanners, receipt/ticket printers, rfid, …

It’s so much easier to interface all that hardware just from an intranet website, instead of rolling out your own native code to thousands of different devices with different operating systems. We did that in the past, now they all just run chrome.
So to slightly clarify, this is transitions between two DOM states. It saves you having to keep something in the DOM during an animation. You make the change and DOM elements from before can still be visible during the animation.

They are also working on view transitions between documents, this isn't that. So rather than having to build a SPA in order to animate between "pages" it will be possible to animate those tradition on a traditional server rendered MPA. Looking forward to that one!

A quote from the article:

I guess it is all you need to know about the article quality.
Keep in mind that the number of parameters on this thing goes to hundreds of billions. So, start with a local datacenter and continue from there. Facebook's Lama which is supposed to be both similar in performance and much reduced in size has only 65 billion params and weights around 220gb (as far as I remember from an article). You will need a beefy server to run this and it would better be shared or the server will be idle most of the time.

NS Savannah: The first nuclear-powered merchant ship
If you already deploy your code in AWS, I would stay there. Even if you get moderately proficient you will expand your resume.

If you want something a bit easier, Vultr or Digital Ocean are both ridiculously easy to spin up a server and has all the stacks you mentioned as well as hundreds of ready made images / apps. Less worry there with over-spending.

Very easy to spin up a server and deploy a CMS or host files etc. They also make a newb friendly product called Lightsail.

If you are worried about waking up to a crazy bill, 2 solutions for that. 1. setup a billing alarm for 1, and 2 use a credit card with a low limit or even use a prepaid Visa card.
As you already discovered in the other comment, the root Secure Boot key is the PK, and the MOK is a concept that shim made up. shim was created so that people didn't have to enroll their own PK, if their firmware even let them do that in the first place. Every distro that uses shim was able to get it signed by Microsoft (MS would not sign each and every bootloader in existence, and especially not any version of grub), and then shim does its own verification of the next stage application using the MOK DB.
Name.com is more expensive, but I've never been surprised. Normal ticketing if you do have an issue. No inane chat support, less bloated site and they've never attempted stunt billing.
it's already happening. Stable diffusion forums regularly get brigaded, and there are lawsuits in the works against stability ai and midjourney. Those lawsuits are nominally about copyright, but one gets the sense that it's really about putting the breaks on developing the tech.

I kind of get it, too. If I made my money making art this would scare me. What I wonder is what's gonna happen when it's [ artists, accountants, copywriters, bloggers, designers, programmers, etc, etc, etc].

I see problems coming.
i know what you mean, but i am doing this for more than 20 years now. From bare-metal over openstack to serverless, i have pretty much provisioned all of them.

Kubernetes is more like a way of doing things than a technology. Basically APIs all the way down. and thus the operators and controllers do deserve love.

Im not saying that you need an operator to change the dipers of a baby, but as far as a stack goes, k8s is the best i have ever worked with.

I've long been a fan of Cory Doctorow. He's a witty, eloquent writer with lots of interesting, insightful things to say about technology, and I agree with him on his critiques of capitalism and corporate hype.

However, he's dead wrong if he thinks AI is all hype and no substance.

Yes, AI is being exploited and hyped up by corporations. Yes, most workers are going to get screwed, as usual.

But there is so much potential in AI... even if it's not "truly intelligent" (yet). At the very least it's a tool that can boost creativity. Playing around with Midjourney made a believer out of me. I've been a life long artist, and midjourney just blew me away. It's nothing short of amazing, and just about as close to magic as anything I've ever seen a computer do.

AI is a completely transformative technology. People like Doctorow can dig their heels in and scream against the hurricane, but it's utterly futile. The world will adopt this technology anyway, and it will transform the world (for the better or for the worse). It already has, and the transformation will only accelerate.
Hmm, actually she's probably both. Good point.
ZIO and other purist FP code bases are probably not the most common, but definitely not the most well loved aspect of Scala — pragmatic FP would be that, that uses local mutability when that is readable, but prefers an immutable public API.

So let them? What's the deal, why can't we have a society where people who want to work from home, do so while those who want to work remotely do so as well? I do know that I am deciding for myself (100% remote).

> this is more of a gimmick than a viable solution to anything

It is a positive gain, even if small. Now multiply that gain across thousands of cars (assuming this tech became mass market) and you have a significant positive impact.
And you trust the answer without knowing where it came from?
We need an EV that optimizes for costs and repairability rather than looks and environmental impact.

Those students should build something they can afford...
It does sound risky. But I wanted it to be secure enough so I could (and I am) store my own sensitive info too.

All the information your write in your note is encrypted using 256-bit AES key. Encryption keys and the data itself are stored in different services. So even if the database is leaked/hacked, the information will not be public.
Maybe travel at a different time, then.
Given it has probably "hardcoded" a lot of questions by the usage of "finetuning" via RL, probably the latter statement is true. Also it has one way only to understand your query. If that way is wrong: welcome synonyms replaced by the tokenizer, welcome hallucinations by raising the temperature. Or you can introduce "context" (8000 tokens) or retrain.
I predict this comment will be heavily donvoted with zero explanation. Because HN is always predictable when it comes to the trigger words: “Crypto bad” and “AI good”

Crypto can actually help people transact trustlessly, let communities govern themselves without a king etc.

Whereas AI swarms can generate bullshit at scale and turn every forum into a dark forest, with 99% bot-generated content deployed to silence or distract groups of people whose viewpoint is to be buried.

One has the potential to quickly destroy all the systems we rely on, including public discourse, voting, and so on. I would say that is far worse than a few silly smart contracts.

Ah right, very possible.
When you hire a plumber to come and fix your sink, they charge a call out fee to cover the time to drive to you place and look at the job.

I think in future people will clock on as soon as they walk out the door at 9, and not clock off till they get home again at 5.
biggest risk with a technology based solution for this is the person stops paying their hosting bill. I'd like to see this app open source the billing, so in case the person who runs the site disappears, the community can continue playing
Well that's kind of a brutal example, but I agree with the comparison. Indeed, G+ was successful for Google zealots and their bottom line. And in turn, to some extent, the shareholders.

I'd say we just have different definitions of GPU-accelerated. Your position appears to be "purist" in the sense that almost all processing needs to happen on the GPU. But for me, if mostly static data is generated on the CPU once and then cached on the GPU and then processed on the GPU in all performance-critical contexts, then I would call that "GPU-accelerated" even if parts of the data preparation happened on CPU. That's also why I brought up the UE. They prepare the data on the CPU, then send it over to the GPU so that rendering in the real-time loop can happen only on the GPU. But the fact that the CPU prepared the data does not make it not-"GPU-accelerated" for me.

That said, can we agree that the ID2D1GeometrySink that JUCE uses on Windows is GPU-accelerated? Surely the Direct2D/DirectX drivers will do stuff on the CPU, but Microsoft says "Direct2D is a hardware-accelerated, immediate-mode 2-D graphics API" and they show very smoothly antialiased splines here while mentioning "Multisample Antialiasing", a GPU feature:

> logistically inefficient.

not only inefficient - the added weight of the scrubbers means that the car is now less efficient at carrying people.

CO2 scrubbing doesn't work. I think massive, industrial capture, and chemical and electrolysis conversion of CO2 into usable raw materials (such as raw carbon) is the only way forward. The energy to power that process needs to come from solar or other clean renewables.
Are you arguing stalkers present themselves as "hi, I invade privacy and continue contact when unwanted"?

I think the secret reason is that, on first glance, we are totally OK with six fingers in the picture. On closer examination we might balk at this but we won't notice if the "brush stroke" in a painting is slightly off (e.g. discontinuous in color by a few hues of red here or there).
In language, we would definitely notice a missing, or a Japanese word in the 中 of an English text.
So maybe the best and largest current image is just equivalent to GPT-1 in precision... but we just don't notice because our brains "smooth out" the imperfection.
So much this. We need something which fits in the space that 8+ year old vehicles exist in now. Which isn’t dealer serviced subscription shiny shit that costs a small fortune.
Hate? Sounds like total indifference. But 3 people commented last time you submitted it 12 hours ago, saying it's great. ...Although, those 3 commenters are brand new accounts with 1 comment only. Are they you?! The way you say you couldn't get a single person to talk about it on here makes me suspicious.

Not an expert, but it sounds like you forgot what I'd say is the #1 startup/business lesson HN teaches - not to spend time/money developing a product before you know there's demand for it, people who will pay for it. That's the advice people would give, I guess, had you asked for help instead of writing this contemptible comment, which I flagged.
The point is that there will be no more "new jobs": once we have successfully managed to externalize in silico basic human decision-making (accelerate, brake, make a left, make a right in 2/3D space, but also decisions in other spaces: decisions in the space of language, of images, and so forth) it's game over for 99+% of all the jobs across all the industries. All that remains are the entertainers (very few), the brains (even fewer), and the owners (even fewest) †.

The transition will not be scary: it will be criminal. The governments and general policy decisional factors are so out of touch it's laughable, just look at the French government as they try to raise the retirement age to 64 [1].

† Because this is the crux of the matter: are we able to build a civilization where everyone is an owner, or will only the few of the fewest be the owners. And today, for instance, only those with 50 million USD and above are owners [2], because first of all you must own your life, and if you can't afford a lifesaving $3.5 million gene therapy [3] if you need it (not to mention a 100 USD eye surgery), you don't own your life.
