I can only speculate, since Europe is a huge place with multiple telco regulatory regimes and lots of transnational telcos. For example:

- France has a version of STIR/SHAKEN
- Germany's Deutsche Telekom has massive presence via local operating entities in poland, austria, czechia etc etc. So it might be that they can assert tighter knowledge of a caller across countries and carriers because its all really DT.
- Similarly Orange/Hutchison in France, Austria, and IIRC north Africa.

Beyond that, i dont know.

Slightly off topic but my M1 Pro Apple Silicon Mac does not lag like your top of the line AMD chip.

I know most consumers run React code with CPUs slower than Apple Silicon chips but this post is more of an endorsement for the M1 lineup.
I guess we'll see how it plays out. I'm much less convinced that any person off the street will be able to write and validate most software tasks in 3 years, LLM or not.

I'll wait until redundancy (if that even happens) to figure it out. Make hay while the sun's shining and all that. Besides, Software Developers are educated and make up a small enough percent of the economy that I don't see an issue with the market absorbing the redundancies.
trying to decide between a data science job and a software engineering one and one of my concerns is the DS job will be much easier to replace with GPT.
The parent is complaining of amount of effort put into the work but should be justifying that each of those steps was a creative decision by a human which contributed to the end result.
> Sure, maybe in a small business or startup, and even then I'd content not quite as easy as all that.

Not enough time even in this case; for some (apathetic) people, 30 days isn't actually 30 days.

Every now and then I'll come across the kind of small org where the one person (euphemistically and sarcastically) referred to as SRE only checks email once a month because they've "evolved beyond primative tech" or wtf ever, then get mad about it like it was a conspiracy rather than self-sabotage.

90 days minimum for overt assaults on stuff that some ppl may require to keep their doors open. This kind of shit is enough to possibly mess with people's livelyhoods in edge cases. Personally I never used Docker. I'm kinda paranoid so "free" stuff not backed by some kind of legal guarantee like open source licensing always seems sorta shady.
I have to disagree. Liquidity is the ability to sell, period. Not the ability to sell at a profit.
Ultimately, whether web scraping for AI training data purposes is considered legal comes down to whether web scraping for ANY purpose is legal.

This isn't clear one way or the other, though recent rulings indicate that US courts are firmly poised to declare web scraping of public content fully legal. IE there is nothing you can do to stop it other than making it not public.
I agree, Flickr has lost its spark. It might be dying, it might not. But whatever it had is gone.
The following two ideas have increasingly been bouncing around my head lately:

a) In early 2022, a lot of people were claiming that "we're entering an AI winter, deep learning has reached its peak!". Since then we've seen several successive SOTA image generation models, ChatGPT, and now GPT-4. In just a single year! And we don't seem to be hitting the tail of rapidly diminishing returns yet. The pace of development is far outstripping society's (and governments') ability to perceive & adapt.

b) No human has demonstrated the capability of actually understanding/explaining how any of these trained models encode the high-level concepts & undertstanding that they demonstrate. And yet we have so many people confidently providing lengthy lower bounds on timelines for AGI development. The only tool I have to work with, that I do understand, is thermodynamics. There are about 8 billion strong examples that general intelligence requires on the order of 10 measly watts, and about 1kg of matter. From a thermodynamic point of view, general intelligence is clearly not special at all. This leads me to the belief that we likely already have the computational capability to achieve AGI today, and we simply don't have the right model architecture. That could change literally overnight.

What might the world look like once AGI is achieved? What happens when the only thing that has set humanity apart from animals is cheaply replicable at-scale in hardware? What happens if a small number of entities end up permanently controlling AGI, and the rest of humanity's usefulness has been downgraded to that of a discardable animal?

AGI could arrive this year, or it might still be 50 years away. Literally nobody can provide a concrete timeline, because nobody actually understands how any of this truly works. But we can still reason about how AGI would impact the world, and start putting safeguards into place to ensure that it's used for our collective good.

But we won't, and it's going to be a wild ride.
Hey Meta!

In a bigger study by Pew, women “say a major reason for the gender wage gap is that employers treat women differently.”
> It wouldn’t be the first time that major players lobby for regulation to raise the barrier-to-entry.

FWIW, a take I often see on HN is that any regulation is effectively a barrier to entry, as larger companies find it easier to deal with them than the smaller ones. But if so, then this only means that "barriers to entry" is not a valid argument against regulations, not unless specific barriers are mentioned.
AI Deforests the Knowledge’s Ecosystem
I will preface this with - arm chair analysis. I don't know a huge amount about the banking system but I do have one point to make...

It is hard to tell is the aussie banks are in any better position. The debt leverage ratio of the big four are incredibly difficult to track down. The last figures I saw are from about 2015 and even then banks like Commonwealth bank were leverage at something like 60:1 however looking at the wikipedia I would put it at something closer to 20:1.

If that is true, between 1.7% - 5% of deposits being pulled out would mean they would have to start getting the cash from elsewhere - ie. Sell assets/bonds. That is just based on $72 billion cash to $1.2 Trillion assets.

However if this is the case, they have been in this position for a very long time and they seem to be very stable. It feels like there is some big piece of this I am possibly missing.

I look forward to others pointing out the weakness of this point of view and correct my grammar in a witty fashion. ;)
"I've seen my stuff stolen all over the place, NFTs minted, etc"

The overwhelming majority of artist do not have the resources, time, or inclination to constantly chase down copycats and copyright infringers.

Copyright law is just ineffective at stopping or even penalizing most of the infringement that goes on in the digital era.

It's a relic of a past when making copies was hard.
Aren't they sophisticated enough to know that this was unlikely?
Here's an anecdote for you:

Recently I needed a couple payslips translated from German to English and then certified. Google Translate can translate, but cannot certify.

Professional licensed translator took significant amount of money and sent me a document for review with most numbers somehow mixed up. It took days of back and forth over the email for them to fix it.
This is extremely stupid. And programming "influencers" are also stupid.

Code can be bad on many levels. It can be bad on the level of some one liner where someone appends to a list in javascript by using the length as an index. It can also be bad on the level of being an impenetrable wall of shit that is impossible to understand.

And just because I don't understand how something works doesn't mean I don't know why it's bad. I know why it's bad because I know it can be done simply but the person that implemented decided to write their own terrible and over engineered design.
GPT can write pretty good unit tests imo.

It’s not just location and angle but where to aim the motion capture sensor, what if any bait to use etc. There’s effectively infinitely many possible ways to set of these things.

With chat bot’s every possible response is predetermined when the algorithm is setup. Saying you should get copyright is like saying you should own the results of a search engine response to your query.
Yes, this is naïve, but it's a typical assumption. Cash _should_ be liquid, and almost everyone operates with the assumption that it always _will_ be liquid. but fiat cash is not what people think it is. A dollar in your bank account is not real. It's more like a share in the bank corporation which may or may not be perfectly pegged to the approximate value of the non-elected Fed's manipulated US dollar.

Fiat is a theoretical ideal "decreed by the government" which is imposed onto a system with leaky constraints. The system is... super complicated. And super problematic. Macroeconomics is... fuzzy.

This is the whole reason why Bitcoin was created in the first place. Bitcoin is fiat created by the masses which has hard constraints. Its economics are a hard science. Bitcoin is as liquid as the system that trades it. Does a Bitcoin have value? Well, universal value, no. But the Bitcoin network has value because it facilitates value transfers (even if you convert to fiat on both sides - look up international remittance fees). And the network is mitigated by the token. So if the system has value, and the token is intrinsic to the network, does a Bitcoin have value?

Yeah Bitcoin is complicated, and far from perfect. But when you start to understand how complicated and problematic government fiat is... maybe folks who still think Bitcoin is worthless may want to take another look. We need stronger money networks. #theNetworkIsTheValue.
> If I understand correctly, the Russian company proposed including a patch for their own hardware

Not really. They proposed patches for network drivers for ethernet IP-core which was licensed from Synopsis, California. Most likely as a part of P5600 MIPS IP from Imagination.
This IP core is not specific for Baikal SoCs and used in many products.
For what its worth, I hope you are right.
Right, that's a bunch of countries agreeing not to develop nuclear weapons, but it doesn't include all countries. So what's the point? A few countries deciding to flout the treaty and develop their own WMDs means they can just threaten everyone else who followed the treaty. This is exactly what North Korea is doing. Now their neighbors are considering abandoning the treaty and joining the nuclear weapons club.

A treaty like this is basically worthless if you can't enforce it.

Australia and India are among those who bought (no pun intended) into the fallacy that cash is for criminals, and you're only a good consumer if you use traceable electronic funds from megacorp SIBs.

There are millions, if not billions, of unbanked people whose survival depends on cash.

And the US has civil asset forfeiture, were cops call "dibs" on cash and the owner has to essentially disprove a negative they're using it for a legal purpose in order to recover it.

In regard to biological weapons, they have the issue of being easy to backfire. I'm not mentioning any lab theories related to events from the recent years as an example of possible developments. There are other factors like not being very effective against people in the prime of their health like those serving in an army and the whole thing where nobody internationally likes the guys spreading illiterate viruses which do not respect boarders and kill outside of war zones.

That's overstating it a bit.. but it is likely we'll get there within the next decade or so.

Currently there's still a lot of art that's hard for AI to mimic effectively, and only certain types of art can be created quickly and without much effort using AI.

The above is based on my experience of creating well over 5000 images in Midjourney, and keeping a close eye on AI generated art created by others.

It's amazing tech that's close to magic, but it still can't do everything.

Scenario planning on two VC reactions on Thus (3/9)

1) VC1 - SVB is perfectly safe . Don't worry and keep the money there.

2) VC2 - We are hearing rumors about SVB. You should play safe and move it to another bank. Here is a guy who can help with opening accounts etc.

And SVB shuts down on Friday (3/10).

Guess, which VC would I recommend to a new founder?

Yes. Feds saved SVB but there is a world where it might not have and my money could have been locked for days forcing me to miss payroll. In any case, I would have had a sleepless weekend.

Founder here.

Why would it not be cheaper?

I have no interest in paying for sports, so I do not buy sports. I can buy individual episodes, seasons, or month to month subscriptions within seconds now.

I now wait until all the episodes are out, and word of mouth from multiple sources has established quality of the content, to purchase it. I can then consume it within a month or few months, and cancel the subscription. Or rent the movie for a few dollars.

I probably pay $150 per year at most. Before a la carte steaming, that would have easily been $75+ per month with contracts and equipment fees or whatnot to Comcast. Mostly to pay for other people’s interest in sports.
The VCs did what they had to do. It’s poor financial management to not run for the door when the last one standing may be holding the bag.

I just find it strange that after all that SVB is using the bailout as marketing. “All your new dollars are safe too!”

I guess they do this because someone figured out they could. I'm sure once upon a time there was a bank that only took deposits and just stored your cash in a big vault. They went out of business when they realized they had to pay for the vault but couldn't use any of the money in it.

This is like showing ads on something you already pay a monthly subscription for. Remember when cable TV was supposed to be ad-free? That died when people realized they could make more money by double-dipping. And everyone was apparently fine with it.
I'm already at the point where I get frustrated when GPT writes some incorrect code - despite it saving me enormous amounts of time. The appetite for productivity seems to be insatiable. I want to be able to create a million lines of code per month by myself.

It's a self fulfilling prophecy, llms flooding the internet with nonsense and then we need ever more advanced llms to distill the nonsense into something usable. So far the nonsense grew faster than search engines were able to adopt to it, but that might also just be because google stopped improving their search engine or their search is broken by Google's misaligned incentives.
What about soy isoflavones? Would those count as a drug of that class? They seem to have a wide range of benefits with a limited number of possible negative effects.

This idea has been already covered by mainstream sci-fi - Westworld comes to mind as one example. And, of course, the canonical AI x-risk is AI that makes on-line orders to have some proteins synthesized in labs and sent back by mail; the AI then hires some poor schmuck (e.g. via TaskRabbit) to mix the content of the vials. Mixed proteins then self-assemble to some nanotech that starts making more sophisticated nanotech... and the world ends.
Very close to my feelings. I'm not interested in AI art, music, or literature. I'm interested in what people create and share with other people.

Asian Financial Crisis: The Battle to Defend Hong Kong’s Financial Stability
I downloaded Firefox nightly a couple of days ago, turned the flags on accordingly, but it didn't work out saying:

> Find an error initializing the WebGPU device TypeError: adapter.requestAdapterInfo is not a function

No idea how to fix it.
Yup. A bank run is problematic because if you keep 99% of the money but 100% of your customers want cash today, then you're screwed.
Something I have noticed across the technical/non-technical divide is that the concepts of simplicity and difficulty are easily conflated.

Often non-technical folk are only interested in "easy" solutions.

Technical folks are more inclined to pick simple solutions.

The perception of simple being hard mostly comes from simple often eliding things like a GUI which is inherently complex and overkill for a good number of tasks. However users have been conditioned to think mouse == easy and keyboard == hard.
The VCs were also playing the game, though. How do you feel that iteration looks for them?

I've encountered something like this attitude, though it's more a reverence for the newest, flashiest gear in online forums. Certain camera brands bring it out in people, like certain car and computer brands used to.

Oddly, photography is generally an asocial pursuit, at least as an amateur. So what does it matter what the photographic community thinks. If you're in business, they aren't customers, and if you show your work, they aren't the audience.

I actually think the bigger driver for TypeScript was Anders' history of working on C# and Delphi before that.
...banks don't "need" depositor money to lend...

This seems like one sort of thing, in which money that used to be in a depositor's pocket is now in the bank and available for lending.

...and in fact they generally lend out money they borrow from a central bank...

This seems like another sort of thing, in which money that previously did not exist has been created by the Fed changing a number in a spreadsheet so it's now available for lending.

You might point out that in our system, these different-seeming things are essentially the same. If so, you're really agreeing with GP.
Saasform: https://github.com/saasform/saasform

I had to prioritize another project (solokeys).

I still really believe both: 1) in an open source alternative to auth0, 2) in combining auth+payments for saas.

However, because they’re two problems, it’s probably best to focus on just one. For me trying to launch Saasform the issue has been to find and onboard customers quickly and at scale.
They’ve been insolvent for some time. The bank run didn’t cause the insolvency, the bank run exposed it, and laid it bare.
So...nobody should ever be concerned about the effects of new technologies? Ever?
Coordinating action in one direction can be trivial while coordinating in the opposite is nearly impossible. It takes years of engineering and construction to build a dam but only a few critical mistakes to break it down. The same amount of water is involved in either case, but it's a lot harder to hold it back than it is to let it loose.

Bank runs are the same way.
You don’t know what the definition of insolvent is, if you believe that.
SFC does have a strange view of the GPLv2 installation scripts clause. https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2021/jul/23/tivoization-and-t...

The normal interpretation is that it includes Configure scripts, Makefiles etc. The SFC claim it also requires things like the encryption keys needed to load the software on that specific device.

As most people are aware, GPLv3 added explicit requirement for such keys.

The SFC claims that the GPLv2 always required the ability to install modofied software on the device that shipped with GPL (except in cases like ROM, where nobody can modify), and what the GPLv3 is about prohibiting device makers from making their proprietary software stop working when users install modified versions of GPL'd software.

I have also heard of at least one other party that asked Stallman flat out if GPLv3 allowed for providing keys that allow for installation of modified versions of the free software software, but where use of such keys bricked the proprietary software that came with the device. Stallman allegedly indicated that it was, which if true counters the SFC narrative.
