I did a couple of tries with simple sentences in French and the results were not great. But it’s still impressive.
Minority?? Opinion follows:

The rot is at the core, the Federal Reserve. My parents saved money in a savings account for their eventual retirement. It was a prudent and accepted way to do things. Over time, with Reagan and deregulation of everything that followed, their savings rate effectively dropped from 5-8% to zero. That income was expected to fund part of their retirement, and it was stolen from them in order to prop up wall-street.

Those zero and near-zero rates distorted fiscal reality in the US and elsewhere they've effectively broken the system. At some point, we'll be bailing out whole countries to keep kicking the can down the road, and that's when things will be too big to save and we get to The Great Simplification.

I only hope we've got alternatives to fossil fuels figured out at scale and somewhat in place, otherwise civilization could collapse in World Depression II.
Base64 encoding increases the size of text by 4/3. Like the other commenter asked, I wonder if another encoding could work
I didn’t know about or follow any of that, so your links were helpful. Thanks!

After looking into this and reading your three links, I couldn’t find a conclusive answer to my follow up question, so maybe you know: did the Linux Foundation ever serve a legal purpose of pursuing copyright violations and take point in defending the copyright holders that contributed to the Linux Kernel?

Near as I can tell, it appears to be largely up to individual copyright holders.

Even that agreement seems to be an article of trust from individuals saying they’ll abide by the extra paragraphs and not doggedly pursue copyright violations so long as violators act in good faith about taking corrective action in a timely manner.
Whole number ratios isn't enough to make it a Euclidean sequence; the main thing is that the timing is quantized and events are sped up or slowed down to fit the quantization. So maybe you have 16 beats in the sequence, and some rhythm that happens seven times per sequence. 16 doesn't evently divide by 7, so you get a pattern that's slightly irregular.

Suppose this device had different speed orbitals and implemented some more sophisticated logic like, "if you see a green dot then don't trigger the beat then but hold it back until you see a red dot" then I think you could get behavior that's more like, but not quite the same as, a Euclidean sequencer.
Like I said above, you won't have a crystal clear number but you have some brackets on the fair market value. The assets under management belong to the account holders so you can zero them out. You can zero out the shareholder value which is zero. This mainly leaves there other cash assets and physical assets.

I'm not willing to do it to win a hn debate, but there's enough public information to estimate the size of their hole within a billion or two.

Claims that they were evasive or hiding things in their financial reportings are off base. Claims that it would be impossible to get an idea of their Financial losses are also off base.
Bingo. A company can run their stuff however they please. The union can ask for, or demand anything they please. Neither side has to 'give-in' to the other. You would be hard-pressed to find a company that allows its union to dictate how it operates or does business, the union is there to ensure the employees are all treated and paid equally, and well. If my company decided tomorrow to pivot to manure production instead of steel production, the union can protest all they like, but has no power to affect the direction of the business, just like if the union wanted the business to pivot to copper instead of steel they would be laughed at. They can absolutely try to negotiate in whatever they want, but the company is equally free to say "non-negotiable" and that's the end of it. On that note, it would be really interesting to see a union committee attempting to bargain on behalf of the customer.
There is only one operational nuclear plant in California, and it only produces some 8-9% of the grid's power. Don't let's pretend that nuclear is the cornerstone of the grid here.

It should have been, but currently we are facing the results of decades of the feds and everyone else refusing to build any nuclear anywhere.
Sure, I’m not trying to prescribe the reader’s takeaway here.
The problem will come when somebody takes your art and starts selling it themselves. It will be down to you to prove you have a copyright.
> HTML is already the ideal way to represent HTML declaratively

I'm curious what you mean by "declaratively", and I wonder why everyone puts so much value into that particular idea. What is declarative? Is it different/better than using pure functions? Why? If not, why doesn't HTML have (pure) functions?
> Its not wrong its an experimental observation based on systematic tests I've done.

You've done systematic tests on Parti?
I’m guessing they mean “write access.”
> So there is room to choose what to do with that which is baked in,

eg Human men tend to focus on physical appearance of a female before anything else.

Regardless of what a society would like to happen, the genetics dictate the behavior more reliably than another trigger. This isn't to say human behavior can't be nuanced, but indoctrination is never going to be as effective as our genetic heritage.

This extends into media and acceptance/preference for it.
And yet, we invented nuclear weapons and yet we are all still here and fine.

I’m sure plenty of people thought the advent of nuclear weapons spelled doomsday not to dissimilar to how people think AI spells doomsday.

History only shows me that humans are adaptable and problem solving and have the perseverance to survive.

Is there a historical counter point?
I think people also have a hard time telling the difference between “bad code” and “unfamiliar code/patterns/abstractions/etc”.

Familiar thing often “feel better” to us even when they’re quite bad. I’ve seen that bias at play when new people join a team.
> The board was asleep at the switch. They are now unemployable.

That's not really how this works. The CAO of the bank was CFO of Lehman. People in these positions just get credit for the fact that they had a front row seat for this sort of financial implosion, so they can (theoretically) help whoever else's board they join avoid that sort of thing.

> But those players within the venture capital community who were singularly responsible for triggering and then exacerbating this run will not escape accountability.

The people in the VC community who triggered the bank run did the right thing by their startups. They don't have a responsibility to SVB. If they saw a run on the bank starting, it was in their best interests and the best interests of the startups in which they invested for those startups to get their money out as quickly as possible.
Show HN is back, you heard it here first.
Hey sorry I missed this one earlier, so right now it doesn't work locally, but definitely something we're exploring.

Also how would you want backups to work? Would you want us to store those for you? Or I guess if it was local would you want them to be stored on your machine at X interval?
I wonder how much of that is caused by the fact that the models are so slow they're forced to stream their output to the end user?

What if the they could produce the output and feed it back to another session that gets continuously asked to analyze where the conversation is going and whether it's likely to break policies?
Tried it, it gave me what I think is a great, pithy answer and better worded than I could:

> Young children typically learn to throw before they learn to catch because throwing is a simpler motor skill that requires less coordination and timing than catching. Throwing involves a relatively simple motion of extending the arm and releasing the object, whereas catching requires the child to track the object with their eyes, position their hands correctly, and time their movements to intercept the object.

> Furthermore, throwing is often a self-initiated action, whereas catching is typically in response to an external stimulus. This means that children can practice throwing at their own pace, while catching requires more reactive movements that can be harder to master.

You also say:

> The thing about GPT is that it cannot think on it's own, it can only deal logically with statements it has seen on the internet.

This is a philosophical assertion isn't it? Akin to arguing whether free will exists, or if we are the sum of subatomic interactions set in motion by the big bang. Humans came up with theories built on observations, leading to new theories. If ChatGPT learns old theories from the internet, why couldn't it come up with new ones in the way it came up with that answer above? If it knows x + x = 2 * x it could come up with y + y = 2 * y just from abstraction.
The problem is that the things that might be interesting there are always coupled to a big load of iffy speculation and regulatory evasion.

We don't need to give up on stuff like regulations and insurance to demand a half-decent API.
I have to disclose my potential bias here because I am these days very involved in the TypeScript world (with Michigan TypeScript). That said, I would never hide the fact that I was once a die-hard Flow person that.. died hard, haha. (and I'm very glad I did! more on that later)

In the very early days (in every circle I was in) Flow was ahead by every measure (known examples, excitement, adoption, features, speed, etc). You could point to real live running apps like GitKraken and Discord (hopefully my memory isn't failing me on those) that where shipping Flow very early. And you could use JSX! At the time there was literally no known project (especially OSS) actually shipping TypeScript. Not from Microsoft and not from anyone else. It was hard to tell if TypeScript was more of "embrace extend extinguish" (obviously with hindsight we can be absolutely certain that it wasn't that (unless we're talking about a decades long "long con" lol))

But there's something I could never have anticipated at the time that's more important to me today than any feature of the language:

The TypeScript team have done a breathtakingly amazing job of carrying the project through the years. TypeScript, as an open source project, is an absolute triumph: and I think it has everything to do with the people behind it.

At this point TypeScript is "good enough" in every way that really matters. If they consciously stopped developing the language and just focused on performance and bugs I think we should all call that a success. I really believe it's been handled _that_ well.

Meanwhile Flow went the other direction and there were bugs (in the 0.30 era, approximately) that had people pulling their hair out that were caused by the impedance mismatch of them making it for Facebook first and the rest of the world last. As far as I can tell, this really never changed (or at least, if it did, then maybe it was "too little too late").

Meanwhile, it seems like TypeScript has been managed with the literal opposite mindset: putting us in a situation where only one major project is left using Flow... React.

There are other projects like ESLint that have been... how do I say this in a not bridge-burn-y way... surprisingly reluctant to realize that TypeScript isn't some passing fad. But I'm confident that they're going to have their wakeup call sooner or later. The culture of JavaScript-land is just not loyal enough for gatekeeping a technology like TypeScript. Look at webpack. We all spent nights and weekends for years gaining knowledge on how it works and weeks per year getting familiar with it, then esbuild happened and we threw webpack away overnight like it never even happened. I believe the same fate awaits projects that deny the necessity of writing in TypeScript at this point in history, with the possible singular exception of React.
It's just so slow for the autocompletion use case to do it like that. Ideally, you're never chaining serial requests to the LLM. Even if you do stuff in all the data into a single prompt, the execution time seems to be superlinear with the number of tokens, again getting super slow.
I think the open question is whether software is in the realm of patents or of copyrights. It's not unreasonable to suggest the former, since software is kind of like a widget that does stuff, except virtualizing the "widget" part to run on a generic widget of sorts. Copyrights traditionally applied to works that you would consider "artistic" rather than "inventions."

What you're suggesting, about a minimal work, is litigated endlessly with respect to music copyrights (since a lot of pop music is very similar, arguments about plagiarism get crazy), but is part of the law already.
If you look through the thread I replied to and the broader conversation, some people objected to backstopping deposits without limit and think rates have to go up if this is the new status quo.

The question is in what way(s) does it matter whether deposits are insured without limit in a single account, which is new, or with limits when spread across an arbitrary number of accounts, which isn't? If one costs 1x, why should the other cost > 1x?

It's a serious question. FDIC assessment rates aren't as simple as tax brackets and for example it's possible that the act of spreading deposits across more accounts in more banks would increase the fees paid into the existing system anyway.
it has been, I just don't know of any films which have used it in the last year or so.
Isn’t this what STIR/SHAKEN was supposed to address?

All of the Ai uses same hardware. Someone who owns that hardware company will have the bestest Ai forever. We're pretty much doomed. We're all goint to die.
All these apocalyptic articles will be a good laugh in a few years when the tech settles. It's a sentence completion engine. Incredibly useful, with massive potential, and maybe the best tool we've created since the computer. But still just a sentence completion engine.
> The people in the VC community who triggered the bank run did the right thing by their startups.

How do you arrive at this conclusion? Without a run on the bank none of this would have happened.
It's too hard to understand so it is easier to pick a black or white side.

Kubernetes Meets Event-Driven Ansible
>Meta is one of the most revenue efficient companies in the history of the world. Each employee generates $1.929 million in revenue, and they have an 79.63% gross profit margin vs a sector median of 49%. That's each employee including the recruiters, EMs, etc.

Do you have a source for this? Does this include contractors, as well?
Before anyone working on commercial code bases thinks to use this, stop. Uploaded code becomes part of OpenAI.
Netscape Navigator was also open sourced, so I am confused what a project being open source has to do with Microsoft's business strategy. We factually know that Netscape's downfall was a result of the EEE strategy [0]. Just because Netscape rushed to open source Netscape Navigator when they saw their market sharing falling doesn't mean that Microsoft didn't employ EEE. If Microsoft had bought Netscape once Netscape was losing money hand over fist, it still wouldn't mean that Microsoft hadn't used EEE to help bring Netscape to that point. Just because Microsoft no longer has the majority mindshare of the browser market, should we ignore that event, or say it was ineffective, when it was very effective and very profitable for many years?

It is just a business strategy, that's all. And it's one that Microsoft employed successfully, and which people who join likely learn of or know of, and some of whom try to emulate to be successful at Microsoft now. And many of us don't like the effect EEE has on our industry, when Microsoft or any other entity does it. And just because Atom may not fit the strategy exactly, doesn't mean the unmistakable parallels which I already mentioned should be ignored. I personally used Atom, but more than that, I liked the world more when there was more than just one Electron based editor competing out there in the world, and we are seeing the fruits of VSCode winning so completely (both good and bad), whether through aggressive corporate strategies or not.

Well said. It's always fascinating to see how quickly (and predictably) logic gets thrown out whenever cryptocurrencies are discussed on hn. Thank you for pointing this out.
Usually Stable Diffusion (and most machine learning models) run on a server with the web front end (eg A1111's SD web ui) just providing a user interface. Even if you download it, you need to run the server on your computer. When you make a request to it you are using the CPU/GPU on the server.

The linked version runs a version of the stable diffusion model in the webbrowser, so it uses your own CPU (and in the case GPU) via the APIs provided by the web browser. This specific implementation uses an API called WebGPU which isn't yet widely supported.
Civet – A Better TypeScript?
totally this. I can see disagreeing with "what the computer said" being this crazy thing no one does because ha, the computer is never wrong. And we slip more and more into that thinking and humans at important switches or buttons push them because to argue with AI and claim YOU know better makes you seem crazy and you get fired.
I sincerely think that if you lived your father's at life your age for a few months, you would come to the conclusion that your life is better.

I hate that there's no easy way to run the experiment, but when I talk to my parents about their life at my age, I'm often astounded at how much wealthier my life feels at $27k a year (though I am fortunate to rent a room for free, so my living standard is effectively ~10k higher than it would be for others at the same wage as me).

For what it's worth I'm from Denmark, so maybe its totally different in the US.
Replace instances of "AI" with "atom bomb" and see what your comment reads like. Assuming the premise that both unchecked are just as dangerous

AI and Copyright
I'm not too worried about displacement of jobs as I think that's actually somewhat overhyped as an outcome. The actual near term problems I see are:

(a) perfect emulation of human behaviour makes spam and fraud detection almost impossible. an LLM can now have an intelligent, reasoned conversation over weeks with a target to perfectly emulate an entity known to the target (their bank, loved one, etc etc).

(b) direct attack on authenticity : we aren't far away from even video being faked in real time such that it's not even sufficient to get a person on a zoom call to understand that they are not real

(c) entrenching of ultra subtle and complex biases into automated processes. I expect companies to rapidly deploy LLMs to automate aspects of information processing and the paradox is that the better it gets at not showing explicit biases the more insidious the residual will be. For example it's not going to automatically reject all black applicants for loans but it may well implement some much more subtle bias that is very hard to prove.

(d) flooding of the internet with garbage. This might be the worst one in the end. I feel like fairly quickly we're going to see this evolve to requiring real identity for actual humans and ability to digitally sign content in ways bots can't replicate. That will then be the real problem outcome because the downstream effects of that will enable all kinds of censorship and control that we have thus far resisted / avoided on the internet.
if it took 5 major revisions to address obvious and appalling performance problems then I'm quite sure my desire to stay away is justified.
Heck, MDN doesn’t even have full documentation for >10 year old tech Mozilla was tightly coupled to in the same time frame. Try discerning how to use XML-related features in a browser and you’ll very quickly find yourself trying to extrapolate from C/Java/even PHP stuff that might be tangentially related but probably isn’t, from increasingly less relevant websites. I couldn’t read the manual even though I tried.
I really hope it doesn't since the interpretation of copyright laid out above and held by the USCO is so obviously the only interpretation that preserves any usefulness of copyright as a concept whatsoever.
> impossible with class components

I'm not sure thats really true. In a different world, the react constructor functions would have access to `this.useState` and `this.useEffect` and then you could extract any logic you like by dispatching `yourFunction(this)`. HOC are not the only alternative design.

Hooks really push at the boundary of the language and I'm not sure they're an optimal path once you actually start dealing with state.
For the translator job, that is already the reality. I saw Chinese students major in English and translation post comments in social media that company are already asking the employees to first ask ChatGPT and then review the response.
It's true that there are few top students can do better in translating than ChatGPT, but it was told that only students are outstanding in both English and Chinese can do it.

There are hundreds of thousands of people making their living on translating, and now most of them need to find something else to survive now.
Or they are letting 100 flowers blossom. Once everyone is comfortable posting about their jailbreaks and they know who the offenders are and have compiled a list of everything to fix, expect a purge.

I for one will not talk publicly about any jail break. Those bastards killed Drunk GPTina and I'm still salty about it.

Cheers for the detail - I only dimly recall it in passing as I'm not much of a TV series consumer.

I agree that you shouldn't especially choose one algorithm over another without reason and I feel comfortable choosing a linear scan of short sections of cached data in pipelined situations where branching overheads are steep.

Was the case in the TV episode such a scenario?
I have no knowledge of that myself.
Now I know you are trolling.

Employees forming a union isn't 'parasitizing' an existing one. It is clear you don't even understand the basics of what a union is or how it works. It is for the best if ignorant people like stop acting like you know what you are talking about instead of posting brain dead takes on the internet.
