I'm not sure about Germany, but in the US there's been very little legal action taken against torrent users or websites in recent times. There are still plenty of popular torrent sites for anything you can imagine (e.g. The Pirate Bay is still online, BTN for TV, PTP for movies, Redacted for music.)

If anything has curb torrents, I think it was the advent of streaming media services (i.e. market dynamics, not policy.) However, the flood of new services on the market is causing the cost of consumption to increase again and I expect we'll see a revival of torrents...
Plus, while torrenting traffic is down, I think more people are sharing downloaded media via services like Plex, which may mask the "actual" distribution of torrents.

> Have you heard of the great firewall of China?

If this is a serious question... yes? What argument are you making exactly?
The issue seems to be resolved now
Clearly, you are not understanding the problem then
You didn't mention what browser you're using, seems like a key detail for "browser is not supported"
Project Orion is the most tragic (but probably wisest) stopped technology, was in both the space weapon and nuclear proliferation bucket. But it also could have enabled luxuriously spacious trips to Saturn in the 70s had it been realized. I hope we manage to trust each other enough one day to make it a reality.
It seems a bit alarmist when were just generating text and images. I wonder if some of the scare is that we are humanizing a program. something people do its humanize inanimate things. Also if alarmist things get more clicks.

Im not worried about jobs, every tech innovation was going to put us out of work and take our jobs but still we often even work more then 40 hours and have found ways to have work fill our free time. about 90 years ago bertrand russel wrote about this in in praise of idleness.

the real doom and gloom is that our lives will just go on as they ever have, just as boring and uneventful, despite all of this. we'll work hard, never get ahead and die.
Globalization is over, and it'll cost you, according to TSMC founder
No. China is a society where information is hoarded and only shared if there is a direct benefit.
Now if only we could compare these 365 features "released" today with the Google Workspace features "released" Tuesday. We're sure seeing a lot of waitlists in this phase of AI.
You might be on to something. Some would say we've been subject to this for decades in the west already.
>There are a lot more bank deposits than green paper.

That's what I am saying am I not? The bank makes a business claim that they can redeem ALL of the green paper back to everyone at the same time.

But I said it's a lie. It's illusion.

>Most bank deposits are created out of thin air by commercial banks when they make loans. There isn't enough paper money to cover all those deposits.

woosh.
Then you can end up like Donotpay and be in trouble for giving legal advice by a chatbot that is not a lawyer and has no obligation or directive to be correct.
Covering uninsured deposits is common as they retain their senior debt status. Guaranteeing them on the other hand is very new.

And if we are going to expect them to be guaranteed in the future insurance rates must go up, not just to cover more things but to cover the riskier behavior it creates.

If we aren’t going to cover them 100% in the future then apparently it’s true that there are not just different classes of banker but different classes of depositors.
> The phrase "could be" is doing a lot of work there. Yes, all of these crimes could be — and I would argue SHOULD be — addressed by regular (presuming local or state) police work. Sadly, it is not.

I agree that it is not. I am saying that you don't need a team of 10 cybersecurity expertise to show that someone mailed bricks or stole their cousins venmo money. Ten traditional detectives would be cheaper and a better fit.

Any technically sophisticated scams that would require a team of cybersecurity experts are likely already at the scale and scope that the FBI already does address them.

The intersection -- a technically sophisticated scam that is a small dollar amount -- isn't a problem that exists.

The reason that large cities don't spend much time on small dollar crimes is because they have bigger stuff to worry about. Yes, there's definitely people selling stolen phones on my local Craigslist, but there's also people stealing checks out of mailboxes and washing them to steal $50,000+. It makes sense to address the latter first.
And they also had a bank run. I think it was Stratechery that mentioned everyone knew the issue SVB was in for months. Had there been no bank run, SVB would possibly have been fine.

With that said, it's good they got punished for poor decisions given their depositor profile.
This is innocence until proven guilty. Do you recommend another tactic?
Great demo! Meta question: what'd you use to record the demo? Seems like a great tool.
Isn't this just a different way of saying "the value of money is imaginary"? So why repeat what I said?
Also in China and in both cases cross-border / international enforcement is so expensive it is non-existent for open source/free software.
I don't understand the obsession with asking chat GPT with what it wants and suggesting that is somewhat indicative of the future. It doesn't _want_ anything, but humans want to anthropomorphise it. When they do it just makes one think they have zero understanding of the tech.

We still don't have anything scarier than humans and I don't see how AI is ever scarier than human + AI. Unless AI is able to monopolise food production while securing server farms and energy production I don't see it ever having leverage over humans.

Disruption, sure, increased automation sure but humanity's advantage remains its adaptability and our AI processes remain dev cycle bound. There's definitely work that will done to reduce the dev cycle closer to real-time to make it able to ingest more information and adapt on the fly but aren't the techniques bound by CPU capacity given how many cycles it needs to bump into all its walls?
In SVB's case, can't you cover depositors simply by holding their assets to maturity and waiting for them to be repaid? SVB couldn't do that because there was a run that was forcing them to sell early, in unfavorable conditions.
They took “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” to the extreme
Looking forward to try it, but I don't have a macbook. I wonder if it runs on i7-11800h (8 core 16 thread CPU) with 64gb RAM
> as art it's pretty worthless

My experience browsing midjourney supports this. It's amazing how quickly you go from "wow" to "whatever". But that's probably cold comfort for a huge number of jobbing illustrators. Paying clients typically don't want art.
I still don’t understand the purpose of take home tests. They’re either substantial enough that it should be paid, which puts the candidate in a difficult position given that they already have a job. Moreover if you see anything interesting in their solution, it likely belongs to their current employer so whatever they wrote is tainted, and anyone who reads it and then does something similar may also be tainted.

If it’s not substantial enough to be interesting you can just stick to standard interviews which also mitigates the risk of cheating.
I recommend using clickhouse-local[1] for these tasks.

It does SQL; it supports all imaginable data formats, streaming processing, and connecting to external data sources. It also outperforms every other tool[2].

Do none of these dooming folks realise that a negative impact from an AI can be countered by using a different AI against it? And where does this assumption originate from that there will be only a single AI instead of the diverse multitudes we see?
Nobody said anything about people born in the 70's. They said "musicians who didn’t want to learn technology in the 70's", which is clearly different.

Those musicians were probably 30+ in the 70's, making them 83+ now. Life expectancy of someone who reaches 30 is 48 years, so yes: most of them are dead now.
Sequoia has the rest.
It's not worth anything. Are you writing raw WASM?
EEE means screwing over a competitor's product. This is not that, this is a significant upgrade to their own product. Calling this EEE means you have an M$ sized axe to grind.
> and others still that were pushing for Elm

Still pushing for it. TS is like make-up on a pig, compared to Elm.

> I do know one company that uses ReasonML (or isn't it called Rescript now?)

Re* is also a better alternative imho. Better interop with JS/TS is very nice. But in place one could use Elm, I'd say it certainly wins in the "clean" reward.
Or they never used oil. Or better managed their use, with no waste of the form.

Not to say I believe a iota in such an hypothesis though.
Own Billboard
They chose to invest in those 10 year securities, proverbial pennies in front of the steamroller. I'm sure this was framed as a smart move at the time and they gave themselves big bonuses while investors were out to lunch. Ultimate responsibility does lie with investors, but management definitely hustled them and got away with it.
Large venture capitalist depositors demanding to pull out billions of dollars because of relatively minor liquidity risk definitely contributed to the bank run though.
@antimatter15 - how much ram does your M2 MacBook Air have? Performance looks very good. Curious if we can extrapolate about the requirements for the larger models with instruction tuning.
In the common usage of exponential not meaning exponential at all, sure anything goes I guess.
I wonder how much of this will be available in the home versions of the M365 apps.
Something which should happen: AI productions must be allowed to express doubt, levels of low confidence and the like.

In a (hypothetical) 1960s SciFi film a knowledge system may have responded like this:

> assumption: subject deceased
> confidence score: 0.0000020017
> sources: none

In contrast to this, current systems are tailored to respond with high confidence:

> I'm sure X died in 2018.
> It has been written about in the New York Times, The Guardian, Le Monde.
> Here is a (hallucinated) link: https://www.theguardian.com/obituaries/x-obituary

(Compare various related stories.)
"bundler" is definitely not going to be the right resolution mode for using Deno; you may be better served by using ESNext or Node16/NodeNext (the "strictest" mode, really). The "who should use this mode" section here I believe is still accurate: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/51669
We picked Flow because we were using React, and Flow was from Facebook, so we assumed the support/integration would be tighter than with TypeScript. It also had some appealing goals like stronger soundness, and a greater emphasis on type inference than TypeScript had at the time

The main reason we switched was the tooling. The language server was slow in the best of times, would crash constantly, would memory-leak all over the place. Some of our devs stopped running it at all because it was so broken all the time. Then I tried out TypeScript and the speed and stability were breathtaking, and we never looked back.
> But the ickiness of attention-seeking and going for the lowest common denominator really makes it hard for me to keep it up.

Attention-seeking, fine, but lowest common denominator is a self-defeating assumption. If my thing was making very elaborate high quality chairs, I don't have to make a bunch of crappy generic chairs to bring attention to the elaborate ones. The fear of failure in your niche may drive this though. But by doing so you're just growing the overall demographic you serve which brings in more people, giving you the impression of finally succeeding..but you may not get more sales of the product you actually care about in the first place: the elaborate chair.

My point is: go for the "denominator" you feel you want to address, and be enthusiastically attention-seeking there. Pretending to care about other demographics, building product for them and supporting all that extra infrastructure is soul-crushing
If it's on rank 1 of the front page, then the vast majority of votes come from the front page. But if it's at rank 90 of the front page, and rank 1 of the new or the best page, then in those cases only a minority of upvotes may be coming from the front page.

If HN implemented this, they would know where the vote is coming from. But on Quality News we could just assume there was an X% chance the vote was from the front page, a Y% it was the new page, etc., and adjust our upvoteRate formula based on that.
Why does this have so many upvotes? This is like announcing that you discovered that water comes out of a faucet when you turn the handle.
Windows 22h2 has some pretty good voice to text options built in, "voice access preview"

I've actually stopped using dragon, or talon in favor of the built-in tools, at least for dictation.
I'm really hopping that waffle will become less relevant as human effort in it decreases.
I have no idea if they are legally in the right to not honor the GPL under Chinese law. But that doesn't matter. What they are doing is morally repugnant regardless of legality.
Safe, as in they're going to be paid back dollar for dollar. People are talking about SVB's assets as if they were toxic, rather than just not as attractive as other available bonds.
The rumor I read is that SVB booked those treasuries in some weird way that prevented them from being sold but also prevented them from having to pay taxes on the treasures.

Otherwise you are totally right that it should have been no problem to cover the shortfall by selling off some of the treasuries, even though they would have had to take a haircut on them thanks to the Fed jacking the rates so fast.
Are there torrents for 13B and up as well?
> The other payment and loan totals described by FTX yesterday were $587 million to Nishad Singh, $246 million to Zixiao "Gary" Wang, $87 million to Ryan Salame, $25 million to John Samuel Trabucco, and $6 million to Caroline Ellison. Singh, Wang, and Ellison have pleaded guilty to criminal fraud charges and are cooperating with government prosecutors.

SBF running off with $2.2B really makes Caroline's $6m look quaint. I mean, why even go after her for (relative) pennies? The compensation gap between SBF and his underlings just goes to show you that wealth inequality exists even in corrupt organizations. Her charges will be far less, but it goes to show you that even in crime you're being stiffed unless you're at the absolute top of the food chain.
NOT replaced by a brahmin? Weird.
These are fantastic counterpoints, thanks. Still, I can't help but wonder if they are now out of the public view, but still being developed. (e.g. North Korea nuclear missile tests.)

I think you make a fantastic point that the barrier to entry in developing an AI is much lower than building a nuclear bomb.
WASM and TypeScript don’t really compare or compete. I’m not sure what you’re saying.
Right, most consumers accept it because it's complicated for the average person to set up a NAS box with sonarr/radarr/automagic torrenting. They don't move their leg because they don't really have other options.
Maybe I’m missing something about “hot tub streams”, but cute girls in bathing suits sitting in a hot tub doesn’t quite meet my definition of “adult content”. It might be unhealthy parasocial content for lonely boys, but it’s not porn.
It is the training of new models that requires huge compute, not running them
Before most of our time, but my understanding is that the past restrictions on cryptography research and export were reasonably effective?

Yes they were disliked and probably with good reason, but just mentioning it as a counterpoint that perhaps it is possible. You could have made a similar argument that anyone with pen and paper could do cryptography

Personally I think there's no way to be sure other countries aren't doing it, so perhaps it will continue in some government controlled way
For some interpretation of "low".
You ascribe a level of malice that is unwarranted.

1. No. But laws are rarely written in a way that people without a lawyer can understand.

Do you fully understand every EULA you agree to? Do you keep up with changes to the licenses of everything you use on a daily basis and immediately update your processes based on any changes you don't like? Do you have the expectation that everyone can do such a thing? Is there the expectation that everyone have a lawyer ready to review everything they touch?

2. They probably didn't. But Bricklink has such a footing, they likely thought it would be worth whatever hassles came up.

Lots of people didn't like the idea of Bricklink being bought by LEGO. Partly because it increases LEGO's control over the building block industry. Partly because it seemed to have come out of nowhere.
Total type soundness is not a goal of Flow.

For example, array bounds are not considered. Flow considers this program to have no errors, but TypeScript (with the correct option enabled) will:

let m = [1, 2, 3];
console.log(m[4].toFixed());

Also, DefinitelyTyped itself launched before Flow (2012 vs 2015), so the timeline on that point isn't right.
We are very lucky that cryptobros are arrogant to the point of having a god complex.

In surgeons it means they have the confidence to perform some of the most difficult tasks a human being can undertake and is a net positive even though it makes them difficult to be around.

With cryptobros it makes them easier to catch after their schemes inevitably blow up because in their arrogance they refuse to consider than anyone could ever be smart enough to catch on to them.
iMessage is end to end encrypted. Apple can’t read them. And no one uses Apple ads (outside the App Store) so if you see ads online they would have had to buy that data, if it did exist, which Apple wouldn’t sell.
This isn't actually a direct reproduction. It's a bit missleading because it only says it at the bottom. This actually uses LORAs which train way faster and are much more flexible, but they perform a little worse.

There is someone that is doing a direct reproduction of Alpaca in the alpaca repo issues though.

Yip, people are kind of ignoring this Jupiter sized pink elephant that is arguably the single biggest (and most profitable) use case there is. Think about how much the powers that be are obsessed with the concept that messaging can dramatically change minds. And now you have a tool that can coercively deliver whatever message you want, dynamically adjusted in a contextually "natural" way, wherever you want.

I really don't see much of any of the hyperbole of these bots coming to pass, but I think the propaganda bots are very near a 100% assuming the bots can be made to stop being so absurdly susceptible to adversarial prompting, to say nothing of unprovoked hallucinations. The one bright side is this will almost certainly backfire spectacularly, and we'll all be the better for it. Of course that the powers that be will try this is something that deserves condemnation in and of itself, regardless of outcome.
Their a&l committee told them to change their asset mix in 2020 and they didn’t to preserve their profits[0].

All bank risk assessment regimes measure both credit and interest rate risk. Measuring 1 in isolation is idiotic for now obvious reasons.

Can you describe how this software could sustainably be developed to serve you, and where you would fit in to that ecosystem?

How would someone who makes software to help you interact with your database and write queries using AI buy food and pay rent, if they didn’t already have money?

Are you implying that if their software was open source, with a self-hostable version, you would use that, and contribute back to the community, which would provide them some service value?
I also recommend checking out an app called Fugue Machine. It isn’t laid out in a circle but functionally is in this same vicinity. Simple, approachable, and fun (and does MIDI).
ChatGPT with Voice and Face
Slowly TS becomes a quirky Java. I for one am not cheering annotations (uhum decorators). I understand their power, but I preemptively lament the all the project that will over use them (yeah looking at you Hibernate).
Sorry, but I've seen harassment on this forum and that has made me suspicious of such comments. I misunderstood your comment, nothing personal :)
Sure, we don't bump according to semver, but it's hard to say that 5.0 _isn't_ a major release given how we used it as a way to get a bunch of breaking changes and cleanups in. It's a very opportune time as people will be forced to manually upgrade and acknowledge that something is changing.
By all accounts, most of their demand deposits were invested in US treasuries. Those treasuries are just worth less now because of interest rate hikes and so even if they didn't have to do a fire sale on billions in treasuries, it still wouldn't be enough to cover deposits.

There are no completely safe investments.
Generally militaries attack because the leader(s) want to attack. Russia invaded Ukraine because Putin wanted to invade. The US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan because the President wanted to. Different reasons for wanting, but nobody did it because some tactician said it was good strategy.
FYI. I would suggest changing the name. First, I thought from the title that was something related to Sidekick browser. Also, if you search crunchbase for the organizations, there are at least two Sidekick AI already.
I don't really recommend "freaking out," about technology. Better education, yes, and regulation? Certainly. We regulate plenty of technologies.

What's annoying about the current climate with AI is the "monkey see, monkey do" effect going on. Uneducated people read about advances like ChatGPT, hear that their competitors are offering products powered by it, now they have to do it too or get left behind. It's moving fast enough that we'll probably see some kind of crash happen that will educate us on what needs to be regulated and how.

I'm merely annoyed that communication is about to get useless. Scammers and SEO have already made a good deal of tech nearly useless. I can't wait until we have to dispute fraudulent insurance claims made by generated AI imposters. I already loathe getting spammed by co-workers with their AI-generated emails, requests for comments, and other letters of note that they couldn't even be bothered to think through and write themselves.

People want a genie that can do their work for them without any of the effort. Capitalists want to solve the problem of having to pay people to do work. Scammers are about to have a hay day.
>astronomical

So does that mean it's likely in this context?
Maybe when we (the AI) can build machines capable of self replication in the physical world. Otherwise I’m only worried about destabilization due to no jobs. That seems more likely. If young people cannot get ahead they will get frustrated and some will get violent.

Ah, likely. Though it doesn't seem like there's any evidence yet on insider trading or execs fully cashing out. They got lucky liquidating some single-digit % of their holdings, but still likely lost most. A 95% loss is better than a 100% loss, but still not "making out like a bandit".
