> just because a country irresponsibly has a larger population

What does this mean? If Japan split into 5 countries, each eating the same amount of fish per capita as now, would that somehow be more responsible?

If by "irresponsibly" you mean they failed to execute sufficiently draconian population control, it's hard to imagine anything more extreme than China's longstanding former One Child Policy - an exemplar of what you'd describe as responsible environmental behavior, right?

Who's more irresponsible? A Chinese family buying fish for 2 children or a Westerner buying twice as much food for themselves as they need?
I thought it was about unrequited love.

As a Chinese, I believe what he said. On that day, my whole family and most friends were nervously checking their phones. They were afraid of a possible war between China and the US as there was a lot of propaganda on Chinese websites implying a war between China and the US if Pelosi come to visit Taiwan.
I agree on the need to meet the right person.

To meet the right person, you need to BE the right person. Like, imagine you meet someone who wants to get married and have kids and you are unsure. They probably won't stick around to see if and when you are gonna figure it out for yourself.

Certainly, can work that way. Not optimal path.
Julia is great for statistics, especially if you need to implement custom methods, and scientific ML, e.g. inferring ODEs from data.

But Python, which I dislike as a language, has unbeatable differentiable ML libraries (TF, Torch, JAX). Julia's are quite impressive given the few man-hours they have received, but will give you a lot of trouble if you try to do non-trivial things.
Lemme guess, it’s something like having one support email associated with multiple accounts on their side.

I am an American expat who just moved from Germany to Indonesia about six months ago. One thing I see is that the comments he makes about China echo my views of the West. Where there was once optimism and openness, there is growing political repression (though in the US, we outsource this to the private sector so that we can actively argue that it doesn't exist). What is driving a lot of this in the West is the effort to sever economic ties with both Russia and China. I can imagine that this provokes a similar though opposite-facing response in countries like Russia and China, as if Newton's Third Law applies to geopolitics as well. My brother lives in Beijing, though.

What I see in Southeast Asia, though, is quite different. While there is a lot of uncertainty about the direction of global geopolitics, and while this also has a strong effort at finding a direction towards economic development on their own terms. Indonesia is becoming increasingly assertive in this regard, for example banning export of nickel ore (and ending up in a legal fight with the EU over that), and planning to do the same for bauxite soon as well. These bans are designed to ensure that those who want to exploit the nation's natural resources have to contribute directly to its economic development on Indonesian and not WTO, US, or EU terms.

Indonesian approaches to social management and rule of law are still quite foreign to me but these (even more than in the US) are very decentralized. A majority of the population still works independently or for small family businesses though the largest employer is the government. I still struggle with the disconnect between rules and laws. But the optimism here, in part born by the hope that the legacy of colonialism may finally be drawing to a close, is contagious.

I think sometimes leaving the great powers can be liberating.

Bitcoin is an asset with significant market risk but basically no counter-party risk if held in self-custody on chain.

Bank deposits are unsecured loans used to speculate with leverage for privatized profit. If their bets fail we socialize the losses among all dollar holders. USD in a bank account has minimal market risk other than inflation but we are collectively learning the difficult lesson that they present significant counter-party risk for depositors.

Explain your comment. Drive-bys are not well tolerated on HN.
We're talking about the same toxicity.

I do agree there is less shitposting, but there's a fair amount of it nonetheless. Many other of those activist posts are toned down here... because I expect their expectations are they are largely preaching to the choir.

But just scrolling through the "toots" (again, at mastodon.social) on the main landing page I get...:

"New Yorkers yelling at nazis is fun.

(https://mastodon.world/@StillIRise1963/110051510087068465)

"Nate Silver's brain seems to be broken. The "data guy" is literally citing a Twitter poll as if it's meaningful in a political context.

(https://newsie.social/@stevesilberman/110050892922689946 ... mastodon.social showed this to me while scrolling, but clearly this is an example of federated content)

(https://beige.party/@GrimmReality/110051420547135356 again, federation at work).

And the replies are, as far as I could tell while casually browsing, all reinforcing.... none at all trying to moderate the severity or civility of the points being made.

This isn't that different than what I saw I Twitter over the years, except there you saw it from many different sides of various debates. And note that my comments aren't about the issues being discussed: it's chiefly about the way they are discussed: toxically.

So I'm sorry, I don't doubt your intentions and that you really do feel more at home and welcome on Mastodon. But it's not because federation has solved the problem of Twitter-like toxicity: it hasn't, not at all. It's maybe reduced it a bit because the filters for ideology are greater (whether those filters are implemented by administrators refusing users or federating to certain servers or because Mastodon is only attracting people of a certain mindset).
Disagree with that. We're talking about defense against a situation where a user downloads a fine-tuning colab notebook, uploads a handful of the artist's pictures, and "steals" their style. The user here is interested in the specific artist, not someone blindly ingesting billions of images. And the technical know-how to overcome the defense will be in the colab notebook, written by an expert, completely hidden from a user.

It's all a loan, whatever name you attach to it they have to borrow to print money.

Reality check: US debt to GDP ratio is over 120% and the US doesn't have the credit to borrow anymore. We're looking at hyperinflation and a long depression unless they stop printing money and we experience massive austerity/spending cuts. We are literally in an economic death spiral (that's what a debt to GDP ratio of > 120% means) and that death spiral will be irreversible by 2028 (with US insolvent by 2042) as that WAS the timeline for when all of our loan payments for all of that printed money/bailouts goes only to the interest on the loans and not the principal. Unless of course, they change all the rules and it's laws for thee but not for me and debt starts getting erased. And/or war, which is historically how they do it.

Agreed, however I'd like to add it's not just art, it's a lot of other facets of the dawn of the LLM(s). Unfortunately I don't see a slowdown in talking past each other. It would be really nice to sit down and rationally talk about what we should do for translators, artists, even programmers, and what we should do as time goes on. Because the hyperbole just creates more anxiety. To be honest, I don't have any good solutions but it would be nice to talk about what can be done.

"<X> with extra steps" is from a show called "Rick & Morty" [0]. Surprising how you picked up on the phrase without even knowing what the show is.

As for your comment itself, it seems like you gloss over the similarities and ignore the differences. For example, you say "money is being created" but this is objectively false. As is your claim that this money is "seeping" anywhere; it isn't doing anything other than ensuring bank solvency.

Your comment is what I'd expect from someone who wants to call this action by the Fed "Quantitive Easing" but doesn't want to bother actually considering if it is or not. It is not, as you said, because of the critical and relevant differences. This money isn't going back out into the economy as you claim, which is the meaningful mechanism through which QE has its effects.

Without that mechanism, calling this QE is misleading at best.

The fed printing was done to pay for the stimmies. Government spends more than it takes in in taxes so it borrows. But it borrows so much that the market won't lend it the amount it needs to borrow at the rates it wants to borrow at. So the fed prints money and lends it to the government. They call this "quantitative easing" so they don't have to say money printing. Look at this chart of treasuries held by the fed. Notice how it mirrors the money supply. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TREAST

A more cynical take on this is that the remaining goods in the basket often have "adjustments" that can be made - for example, most technology gets discounted because the new version is faster (in top-line performance) than the old version. That adjustment process allows them to create a lower-noise metric, with the side effect of also creating an inflation narrative that is convenient (unless things are well and truly out of control, like they are now).

How do they know he is from the US?
It makes sense to address information leaks in an a cc:all email. And it makes sense to give the leaker a polite way out of an awkward and difficult position by suggesting they resign quietly. The email tries to command the employee to leave or face consequences. Offering the employee the option to leave (as a way to avoid implied consequence) is better.

The CEO calling it 'an act of betrayal', appealing to the social good and appealing to building a company culture, is an admission to my ears that company structure and his authority is not his primary concern.

The CEO already has the authority to remove someone/everyone for this behaviour, so the appeals to the good and to not betray a personal relationship with Mark Zuckerberg himself or cultural connection that Mark wants, just ring hollow. If the leaker-employee sees benefit in revealing secrets to the public, losing the relationship to a billionaire he's never going to meet, or cutting down a company culture he is willing to lose, is not a deterrent.

Setting up a tone and example for future leakers, is better done by establishing the reaction authority will have to the behaviour in the future.

I don't really like this view point, respectfully. It reads like "learn to code" except now that it is coming for programming as well. Perhaps the new slogan should be learn to plumb. Your point about climate change is apt, just because it is hard doesn't mean there should not be some sort of protections put in place to protect intellectual property of the artists. Overtrained AI produce something similar to plagiarism. There should be legal protections against that.
Ask HN: Alternatives to Chat GPT for writing code
I love how well Chat GPT writes code , particularly when I do want to do the grunt work of googling to figure out how to get started. However it's very painful to see code get cut off, some times mid function. Of course you can work around this, but to my dismay, even a paid subscription doesn't override the character limit.

I'm open to paying for this, but is anything else available ?

No, by the non-orthodox definition of inflation espoused by Austrian economists, QE is inflation. Most people are referring to price level increases when they refer to inflation, and a more correct definition of inflation is sustained real price level increases over time rather than one off price adjustments.
Uh, stock price is largely an emotional sentiment on short-earnings potential. Whether a stock price of a bank moved or not should be largely immaterial compared to its reserves.

What's important are:

- strong regulations (not half of Dodd-Frank becoming a banking lobbyist for weaker regs)

- results of recent, meaningful stress tests

- diversification of its asset portfolio in inflation- and interest-rate-safe instruments

- P&L exposure to liabilities or downturns in revenue

- diversification of product mix to weather commercial and retail downturns

The increase in money supply was absolutely not driven by an increase in demand. Supply increases were used to grow demand. Why else would it be called “stimulus”?

The supply did grow and the money went to banks, to the US government, etc. You can look at the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet and see entries for US treasury bonds, mortgage backed securities, etc. The US government then went and spent that on things, and the value of mortgage-backed securities increased which decreases the return on the investment and thus encourages banks to take on higher-risk investments. These activities drive inflation. So, no, an increase in the amount of money isn’t inflation, but a higher quantity of money supply times velocity does, by definition.

Right. But you're missing the whole point. The allure of the AI hype-train is that you can turn around to your most talented and insightful developers and say "stop undermining me" and then get the machine to produce the nonsensical garbage that you would have had to spent days, weeks, months getting your crew to produce, all the while enduring their silent looks of judgement :)

This is a hedge against courts deciding scraping data for training purposes is valid.

Maybe you're allowed to scrape data, but with this, now you are applying a filter (creating a derivative work) to defeat a copyright protection mechanism, both clearly prohibited in current law (US jurisdiction at least). For any serious player scraping this opens your buisness up to huge lawsuits. For any serious player making tools, you'll specifically avoid defeating these techniques. For any minor player you'll now have to go to the backwaters of the internet for tools to do this that you hope won't steal your bitcoins.

Every notable artist will be only upload their art to sites that offer something like this, paid at first, but when the cost are low enough, pretty much every site that wants art content will offer it.

Perhaps you're right (I don't know), but I note that Lovelace had insight on the usefulness of computers for solving a broader class of problems than previously thought, and this was an important contribution in its own right

In any case, often the opposite of what you are describing happens: women get disproportionately less credit than male collaborators, even when they made bigger contributions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilda_effect

edit: Stephen Wolfram has this to say about her contributions:

> In his book, Idea Makers, Stephen Wolfram defends Lovelace's contributions. While acknowledging that Babbage wrote several unpublished algorithms for the Analytical Engine prior to Lovelace's notes, Wolfram argues that "there's nothing as sophisticated—or as clean—as Ada's computation of the Bernoulli numbers. Babbage certainly helped and commented on Ada's work, but she was definitely the driver of it." Wolfram then suggests that Lovelace's main achievement was to distill from Babbage's correspondence "a clear exposition of the abstract operation of the machine—something which Babbage never did".[91]

True. IMO your advice and social pressure is not special.

My point is that those 80% can likely figure that out for themselves.
Amar Chaudhry, chief technology officer at Surgical Safety Technologies, says OR Black Box was designed to eliminate the risk of using its data for anything other than quality improvement. Because the OR Black Box platform is set up to anonymize all data, it is extremely unlikely that data from the system could be used in cases of medical malpractice, he says.

I wonder if it's a good thing that anonymizes the data. Would not specific data make it be more useful, such as tracking a patient's progress overtime?
