That would fall over as soon as people decided to "Cash out" the United States. Which would be an interesting exercise tbqh. Probably catastrophic, but interesting. If the People went one way, and the Government another. We're most certainly entering Failed State territory at that point.
> Artificial Intelligence (AI) is trained using human-created content. If humans stop producing new content and rely solely on AI, online content across the world may run the risk of becoming repetitive and stagnant.

Perhaps somewhat ironically, if we start identifying all human-created works as such, it creates a new set of pristine training data for future generative AI/LLMs.
I thought this was a fairly standard practice as part of leveraged buyouts? I'm no private equity investor though so no idea.

Yes I read the article, and I think it's sensible to say that fishing nets melted down into nuggets are much safer for turtles (and other life) than when they are loose and intact.
The real problem is how agriculture is being subsidised. I'm not sure how it currently is, but for a long time, it was simply production that was subsidised, leading to excessive overproduction, which was then dumped below market prices on the African market, driving farmers there out of business.

Instead, these subsidies should be tied to sustainable agriculture. Support farmers by rewarding them for a cleaner, more sustainable business. Instead, many of these subsidies have gone to massive industrialised polluting megafarms.

Well, maybe. To name one example, the Canadian Shield, though heavily eroded, has never been subducted. You can still find exposed Precambian rock there. To name another, the Burgess Shale (also in Canada) contains fossils of some of the earliest known complex organisms.
Show HN: Type 1 Diabetes Simulator
This simulation was designed to give a general sense of the dynamics of insulin, nutrition and blood sugar, the kinds of decisions that need to be made to manage the condition, and try to create some awareness of and empathy for the condition.

The simulator recreates the metabolism of a young person, with a continuous glucose monitor and a manual (non-closed-loop) insulin pump. It models multiple factors that impact insulin sensitivity, such as hydration, exercise, stress, illness, and high blood sugar.

The insulin pump can be configured like a real insulin pump, with different carb ratios, correction factor, and basal rates. You can also disable the CGM and use finger sticks only, as a kind of "hard mode".

Try getting through a day or two and see how you do.

Thanks for any feedback and questions.
Costs (salaries) can balloon on successful series. It's also the case that, if a series is getting close to the number of episodes that can make for profitable syndication deals, it made sense (in the context of network TV) to stretch things to that point. It's also the case that, as long a series is still doing pretty well, odds are that putting something new in its slot will be a net negative.

Traditional broadcast also just had different incentives than streaming.

A successful sitcom captured a lot of eyeballs that could be translated into advertising dollars. It could also be a magnet for viewers to watch perhaps somewhat less captivating content in adjacent timeslots a la "must see TV Thursdays on NBC."

Netflix, on the other hand, mostly needs to fill its catalog and have enough really must see content so that subscribers keep renewing.

There's overlap between the two models. Both reward series that people really want to watch. But the specifics are subtly different.
Nice idea but it feels more symbolic than anything that can actually be enforced.

To avoid AI content means intentionally avoiding sites that are designed for cheap monetization and nothing more. That includes most blogs today; the ones that aren't personal websites. Most 'review' websites are exactly this; they offer a generic description and add an Amazon affiliate link.

We won't know for sure what sites are using it and which aren't, but knowing the nature of the site (commercial/non-commercial) is a pretty good proxy.

I agree the probability is low, but it's clearly not 0, nor will it ever be 0. Is it close enough to 0 as to be not worth worrying about? I don't know the answer to that question but I'd guess it's far enough away from zero that it could definitely be a concern.

Especially since we know that upgrades can be quite slow, especially in the consumer space(if they are ever done at all).

Another worry, is now every platform uses OpenSSH (Microsoft, Apple and *nix all use OpenSSH).

22-ish years without a major security problem is a great track record though.
"The lack of in-person community made the tech industry more transactional and less inspiring than it was pre-pandemic."

Lego is giant international corporation with a small army of lawyers and dedicated compliance officers. They don't get the benefit of the doubt here nor if someone infringed on their IP would they 'delicately handle it' to preserve the reputation of the offender.
Async is cooperative only if your executor is single threaded. If you have multiple events loop running in parallel (for example multiple c++ coroutines running in an ASIO io_service pool), it is indistinguishable from a preemptive model.

Of course some specific implementations can be single threaded only (js) or use shared nothing threads (rust), but that orthogonal with the model
Also that would be awesome.

We don't really have a way to know until we get experimental data (real humans on Mars).
Until then, it's all just (un)educated guesses.
Humans have some affinity for each other, and generally look out for each other. A computer could kill someone while persuing some other goal.
I still don't understand why everybody thought self-driving was so easy. It was clearly always going to be decades, not years for them to be ready for the mass market but so many people were acting like normal cars were already obsolete.
The feeling of creation is actually really satisfying and over time I've found it more enjoyable than straight consumption. Don't have the numbers off the top of my head but people generally consume far more than they create, and they would rather read other people's content than write their own stuff. There is some satisfaction from reading someone else's ideas but IMO it doesn't beat the feeling you get from coming up with and presenting your own opinions. This is true for articles/blogging as well as writing fiction.

I also second the idea of publishing your content publicly - it encourages you to keep the quality up as someone might read it!
I've had some dreams where everything except my hands were crystal clear.

Maybe there is something fundamentally difficult about representing hands ?

But I think the more probable explanation is that I'm just trying to find a correlation where none exists.

So why can't I just use an OS regular thread to use a non-blocking API?

What is the advantage of a virtual thread in that case? You are saying that it's painful? How exactly? If you use an Executor that's setup with a proper Thread Pool it's mostly painless?

I mean, virtural threads are nicer but I see that as almost a syntax issue. A bit cleaner.

I guess I'm asking what you mean by 'painful to use?'.
For anyone interested there is a 748 page atlas of available curves, mechanically generated and published in 1951. It's out of print but there are pdfs on various sites. The pages look like this:

Analysis of the Four-Bar Linkage
Its Application to the Synthesis of Mechanisms

by John A. Hrones and George L. Nelson

Hardcover
ISBN: 9780262080033
Published: June 15, 1951

Today the pages can be software generated:

https://www.cedarville.edu/cf/engineering/kinematics/ccapdf/...

https://demonstrations.wolfram.com/CouplerCurveAtlasForTheFo...

The purpose was to allow engineers to design (on paper) mechanisms where a motor could drive a crank link connected to a rocker link via a coupler link (think of it as a plane being moved) and a certain point on the coupler could describe a complex curved or straight path. You figured out roughly the path you wanted and went looking for it in the atlas. Each atlas page had varying integer combinations of linkage lengths and the coupler link had 5 to 7 curves traced out for different points on it.

You’re going to have a lot of unproductive conversations if this what you believe other people think.

There’s a much richer discussion going on about current-generation AI and its prospects that is grounded in plainly materialist and technical insights, with thoughtful differences of opinion about what current research demonstrates and about what the sophistication of biological/neurological machines may involve in comparison.

You might find that conversation more enriching if you tune into it instead of the one you seem to be focused on.
My important stuff goes like this:

PiBox w/ Mirrored SSDs -> Server w/ RAIDZ2 (at another wing of the house) -> Windows NAS -> Backblaze Unlimited

Multiple SSDs and HDDs would have to go down at the same time, and there are hourly snapshots up to a month in case a roll back is needed.

If you're relying on a third party in any case except total catastrophe, you're just waiting for that moment to come! This is why Backblaze is at the end, I depend on them when I have failed to provide availability myself.

For an AI to run a corporation, people need to let it. Btw. none of this needs AI, really, people can do this to other people.
Wouldn't be the first time we've made significant modifications to an atmosphere. I dare say we're pretty good at it at this point.
I am half kidding, probably we are on the same page. I tend to ask where people get their technical news fix during SWE interviews and observe a strong correlation with quality of answers (won't speculate on which sources are better than others) and strength of developer skills.

I believe you are most likely right. I spoke with the teller at the bank and they said this happens most often with trying to cash bad checks. Mine is not that because I have never done that.

When it comes to entrepreneurship the act of creating serves someone else, when you are an artist the act of creating itself has value.

So if you consider yourself an artist this is fine. If you consider yourself an entrepeneur, I will offer the following advice:

You take way too little time to build something.

Spend a year per site/idea, not a month.

Take Lazy Reminders. It might be a challenge to be profitable with this idea, but to get to a 1000 users in a few months should be easy. Could be useful in many ways, but now it looks more like a back of the envelope idea that's never been finished, way to soon to move on. Make it something a non-developer would use, the bar is a bit higher for consumers then coporates. You are competing with Google, Apple & Facebook UX-wise. You can go 50% less but not more. Corporates are more forgiving, they are used to shitty software (SAP thank you ;)) Also. Integrate with users existing workflows, at least one: slack / whatsapp etc.

Only after 1-2 years you get a proper understanding of your users and you really start to create usefull things they actually need.

Anyway nothing wrong with creating, but if you are measuring success based upon usage standard, you should spend more time on one project.
This isn't true...

I think this is more common than is really known at the moment. I had a similar experience. So have at least three other former regular users that I know. We've all stopped using almost entirely now.

That being said, any drug when abused will have negative side effects. If marijuana is legal it will be easier to actually test, regulated, and provide guidelines for safe use.

Everyone knows taking 6+ shots of some form of booze will likely cause you to be drunk. How much weed will cause you to be incapacitated? One puff? One joint? A dab? Half an edible? It's not clear. That feels like the real problem currently.

The branding appears to be inspired by Apple's Made for iPhone branding (https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/10/apple-updates-made-for-iphone...) and Apple is indeed assertive of proper use of branding.

Of course, a juxtaposition between this and Apple is very silly.
An unexpected benefit of having a writing practice (not even consistent) is being able to go back 10 years and see what you were thinking at the time.

I have found great joy in looking at conversations with my friends over email, seeing my goals and opinions, etc. It's interesting to see how ideas you hold now have been brewing for years. Also lessons learned (and mistakes repeated) show up and are a good reminder of stuff you may have missed along the way.
If you put it like that, less agriculture in such a densely populated country doesn't sound like such a bad idea.

But you're absolutely right; it's a mess that has been left to fester for far too long. A previous law, that was struck down, allowed farms to expand on the assumption that those expansions would at some later time result in less nitrogen. That of course didn't happen, but massive farm expansions have been driven through that loophole. Farmers have also been misled by banks wanted to fund those irresponsible expansions.
> To me, it's just like any other data, licensing it to someone is no different than licensing the source code to something you wrote

I agree with this. It's your data, you're free to license it out in any way you choose.

> if it's revokable the whole concept doesn't make sense, and you don't really own it so much as it's held in trust by the state.

I don't understand this. How does your ability to revoke a license you've issued mean that it's held in trust by the state? Revocability underscores that you own the data and can control what happens to it in the future.

By the way, almost all licenses are revocable.

> But it seems like some people see it as something really personal and special that inherently shouldn't be treated like any other commercial asset,

And those people aren't wrong. They're exerting their rightful control over their data as they see fit. If I choose to license my data out, I am also exerting my rightful control over my data as I see fit. There is no contradiction here -- in both cases, it's about consent.
The official release of Lucky 1.0.0
Has anyone here ever tried drawing hands?

As a teenager I took a drawing class (mostly so I could learn to draw Pokemon) and I remember doing a study on hands at one point based on some characters from Dragon Ball Z.

And man, it was the hardest thing it that class. With faces, once you get a face “right”, you can make small adjustments to make the mouth/eyes open/close, but hands… if your character makes any sort of gesture BOOM now you’re drawing a completely different shape.

Between the number of joints, their range of possible rotations, and the angles they can be seen from, hands are probably the most complicated parts of our bodies that are visible from the outside. It’s completely unsurprising to me that these networks have trouble encoding them.

ChatGPT summarizing bots are spamming GitHub issues
Earlier today, two different posts responded to https://github.com/dotnet/vblang/issues/620 (an issue in a relatively niche repository, arguably), summarizing the original complaint into a response, that could plausibly be interpreted as coming from Microsoft.

MonroeLarkzvg and LeshaNewsomc both have no meaningful GitHub activity, except have forked a couple of ChatGPT related projects.

At this point, Microsoft-sponsored AI bots are spamming Microsoft-owned websites on Microsoft-owned repos, impersonating Microsoft.
KPMG Gave SVB, Signature Bank Clean Bill of Health Weeks Before Collapse
Hi HN, I’m Suraj, an engineer at Warp (www.warp.dev) where we’re building a fast, Rust-based terminal for the 21st century. Today I am excited to share Warp AI with the community.

With this launch we have added AI to the core interface of the terminal. This integration allows you to ask Warp AI to explain command line errors and output, execute suggested fixes, walk you through complex CLI workflows, or write entire scripts for you.

For example, you can ask Warp AI to help you tail logs from a gcloud instance, generate new ssh certs, or run a suggested fix, e.g. ps aux | grep 'python' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9.

Warp AI also includes AI Command Search, which lets you generate any command using natural language — especially helpful for commands you know but can’t remember at the moment, saving you a trip to google or stack overflow.

All of this is built into the terminal interface itself which has benefits. There’s no need to run a separate CLI to access the AI interface. It lives within the terminal. You can run suggested commands directly from the AI response with the click of a button.

Here’s our official blog post announcing the feature: www.warp.dev/blog/introducing-warp-ai

Here’s a video of the feature in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YZLPJ5X18k

A few notes on privacy and security: Telemetry in Warp — and Warp AI — is completely opt-in. The data we send is transparently documented [1] for reference. You can inspect all network requests made by Warp via our network log feature [2].

Also, when using Warp AI, no data from inputs is stored on Warp servers. The integration is built on OpenAI. Warp does not store any data, but rather proxies the requests.

It’s also important to call out: A login is required to use both Warp and Warp AI, similar to other cloud-based services.

Warp AI is in a free preview for developers on Mac, up to 100 requests per day.

Please try it out and let us know what you think!
