If you use output, from a non-profit who open sourced the output gained by following the TOS, as in they aren't using it 'for profit', it's not illegal, because:

A. it's an output gained via following the letter of the law (TOS).

B. TOS only applies directly to people who've accepted the TOS, unless alpaca's license/TOS ALSO forwards the same criterion as it's source at openai, then derivatives wouldn't apply.

It's like if an app developer on IOS violated a TOS, and apple tried to go after everybody who ever used the app, they didn't agree directly to the TOS, only the developer did.
Show HN: Lotus – open-source pricing engine
Hey HN!

We discovered that no one innovates on pricing because every billing software is inflexible. Excited to share our progress with Lotus entering beta (full MIT license, https://github.com/uselotus/lotus).

New features:
* backtest and run analysis comparing multiple plans

* version pricing plans like you version code

* Meter and aggregate usage flexibly with custom SQL

* billing for usage-based pricing, hybrid, bespoke contracts

* generate invoice pdfs or integrate with Stripe, Braintree, Netsuite, Salesforce

* webhooks to send alerts when usage thresholds are high or build robust invoicing integrations

* analyze margin and cost per customer

All feedback is appreciated! If the project is especially relevant to you, reach out on our website.

Check out our brand new self-serve demo here (https://demo.uselotus.io).

Or self-host here (https://github.com/uselotus/lotus) and let us know what you think.

Just learn javascript, or better, typescript. It's a fine language and you can do a lot of things on its own.

I've have some side projects in typescript, e.g. https://aperocky.com/cellular-automata/, and none of it needed react or any of the common frameworks. Just pure HTML and javascript, turns out it's not that hard.
There is no such thing as decoupling when there is a cash equivalent. For example, in the US a lot of welfare funds are handed out in the form of food stamps. This has created a secondary market in food stamps where people sell them to get cash. Also, the mere fact of having the food stamps frees up funds for other things where the consumer can spend more on "non-essential" goods carrying the inflation with it.

Pretty interesting that everyone here is overwhelmingly against Meta for trying to keep their models private, but the other company (the one with "open" in their name) is applauded for doing exactly this.
Huh? Isn't cheaper food often the unhealthiest food? In Chicago, using the McDonalds app [0] I can get a large latte and 2 bacon and egg biscuits for just $5. That's a ready-to-eat meal with a ton of calories. You could match that value in healthy foods by buying in bulk, but then you'd have to include costs of freezer space and time for prep.

[0] $4 for a bacon & egg biscuit, $1 more for buy-1-get-1-free, and the McCafe drink of any size comes free for an order of $3+
I lived in London pretty much since I was born (2000), I moved away last year because of how bad it's gotten, and it has very little to do with food and energy. There is basically no sense of social cohesion left anymore, you cannot expect safety, you cannot leave a car parked outside and expect it not to be broken into. I've had a guy almost pull a knife on me because I accidentally came up behind him and he thought I was from an opposing gang. This sort of thing was a not-so-uncommon experience for my peers at school.

and makes the case that there is not going to be one unitary "breakout" of one genius machine but rather we are gradually going to lose control of a network of competing and uncoordinated intelligences and suffer natural disasters somewhat like hurricanes as opposed to being killed off or enslaved. The "Love Letter" crisis was one of the first of these.
Don't overthink this.

SSH uses ephemeral keys. It's not enough to have the private key and listen to the bytes on the wire, you have to actively MITM the connection. A github employee who has access to the private key and enough network admin privileges to MITM your connection already has access to the disk platters your data is saved on.

Regarding the secrecy of the data you host at github, you should operate under the assumption that a sizeable number of github employees will have access to it. You should assume that it's all sitting unencrypted on several different disk platters replicated at several different geographically separated locations. Because it is.

One of the things that you give up when you host your private data on the cloud is controlling who and under what circumstances people can view or modify your private data. If the content of the data is enough to sink you/your company without remedy you should not store it on the cloud.
I'm dreading the day Apple is bullied into supporting 3rd-party app stores and I'm forced to download the Meta store to get Meta apps, the Netflix app store to get the Netflix app, etc.
> No Make is not a replacement, or ninja.

Why?

The world has been running on make for decades, and it runs just fine. Meanwhile, does Bazel support basic stuff like shared libs or vended libs that are not deployed system-wide? Last time I checked, it didn't.
The chat interface + context is the magic.

Onavo came with Facebook.
it doesn't take a state actor to MITM this. It takes a Wifi Pineapple advertising a fake AP and tired devs in Blue Bottle smashing `ssh-keygen -R github.com` without verifying the fingerprint. Very simple. Even easier than trying to MITM a site accessed via browser, which will probably have at least HSTS to help you out.

I completely agree and would add that if I am not supposed to drink soda, I would appreciate additional drink options for beverages at work, but I would not expect the company to ban drinks I am choosing not to have based on my beliefs. It is my free will that allows me to follow my religious teachings. When I affect the free will of others based on what is ideal for me, I am being selfish.
Until it happens, and then what say you? And faith? In a secular religion with a shaky track record of alarmism and embarrassingly failed predictions, and then using them to corner companies and individuals into an unhealthy guilt complex about... existing?

Yeah.

Yes but interchange fees are far lower in Europe.

In the US they're around 2%. In Europe they're more like 0.3%, which is why cashback/rewards aren't a thing.

My point is that interchange fees aren't where credit cards make money, it's on the interest of people who don't pay in full.

Wholesale margins are razor thin, but retail ones are relatively fat. (I work in Wholesale/Retail software).
It's quite clearly a reference to WALL-E the environmentally conscious robot, which is pronounced as you'd expect. I like to think of it as DALL-E the surrealist robot painter.
You’d be surprised at how few importers actually provide most of the imported foodstuffs in the U.K. - Lamex and IPL for instance. Brexit has made importing untenable for a lot of smaller operations due to the red tape, and many have moved their buying to import agencies or domestic wholesalers.

There are quite a few significant supply bottlenecks in the U.K. food supply chain, from supermarkets to wholesalers to importers, and they do allow for price fixing - demonstrably so in the case of supermarkets and domestic produce.
It’s just accounting differences. The life in Europe is not any different. If the junior developers don’t make 100K and the visit to a doctor doesn’t cost 10K the overall economic activity appears to be lower but it’s not.
Presumes public oversight is good. I don't need more "ban tiktok" but for AI, nonsense. It's literally chicken little vNext.

Do people really want govts (which is just the embodied violence of your neighbors) telling you how many children to have (because the population crisis) or what energy to use (because climate change) or what tech can exist (ai xrisk) or thoughts to have (social credit).
There is a counter-argument (which I don't necessarily agree with, but is interesting to note) where the ability to accumulate assets that keep pace with inflation is the only thing that motivate extra work.

e.g. the ability to accumulate "Tokens of Power" (vs the equivalent of arcade game tokens for commodities) is what motivates the Steve Jobs and Elon Musks to do their universe denting.

This is quite different than say tribal societies where extra resources do not maintain their value across time. An abundance of meat and other resources can only be transmuted into common cultural power via Feasts and Festivals.

Metaphorically, "gold" creates "dragons" because it allows immortal hoarding. Dragons are the only thing with influenceable agency that can reshape "nature". Controlling dragons allows this dominance (for better or for worse) at the cost of dragon externalities (burned towns, randomly devoured livestock)
That’s not so terrible if you at least verify the output before the final “| sh”.

Though you’d have to be confident that running it twice is going to give the same results. If it’s remote data that could change then weird/bad/nasty things could happen.

For anything non trivial, best to separate those steps and generate a temp script to execute.
I've definitely seen video games that have hold-to-delete buttons like that on a file select screen or something, where they want the action to be intentful so you don't accidentally delete your save.

It's implemented in CSS+JS because it's a web page.
Because they do always win (in aggregate, in relation to other income brackets). With changing economic situations, those with more resources have more options, and are therefore on average able to adapt more effectively. Sure there will be winners and losers in every tax bracket but a quick look at a graph of income inequality over time should disabuse you of the notion that the rich are somehow at a disadvantage in all this.

I can't say I've come across many internal tooling where the experience is anywhere near as bad as public sites. I find that even the cheap hardware offerings from businesses tend to handle bloated internal tooling pages fine, even if your first load might take a good minute. Ignoring tooling specifically crafted for IE6 and hasn't been touched. May that rot in hell.

There was this really horrific one I did experience, come to find out the entire company is relying on this angular app that connects to an ancient mac mini that IT is responsible for but mostly forgot about. Wasn't a large company, but they weren't stalling in growth!
Yes, and this fact doesn't tell me anything, as I know LLM is completely capable to say things that aren't true.

When a model is open-source the community can access and scrutinize its code and workings. This can help to detect potential safety issues and biases.

Just think about what a mega-corporation like Microsoft, whose primary interests lie in accumulating capital and market control, can do with this technology that is essentially embedded into everything. Of course, there are potential benefits, but I'm personally more interested in the risks.
This is such a poorly written article.

There is a fantastic bit in one of Terry Pratchett's books:

> So if I am concerned with what can be done in polynomial time, then why would I limit myself to Karp reductions?

Because under Karp, SAT and UNSAT are widely different problems whereas under Cook, they're not.

You can verify SAT in polynomial time. You can not do that for UNSAT.
So I think the thing people aren’t getting is this: it doesn’t matter that AIs can write code. That’s not how it’s going to replace us. With a big enough AI, when we’re ready, we won’t have to write software. It will be the software.

Do you have a source for this figure? It doesn’t align with my experience.
In theory your mind is a stage play where different voices take turns giving perspectives. There's never going to be a single infallible perspective on greatness--to believe this is to gaslight yourself.

The idea that a thing is "genuinely great" then is either:

1. Just an idea based on a single perspective or a limited perspective, and thus nothing is ever genuinely great

2. Defined so tightly (by you, in a conscious process of your own making) that any given thing can be great based on _ur favorite single perspective only_, without having to be great based on other perspectives, and still be genuinely great.

3. Some mix, like if you satisfy the most-likely-relevant perspectives.

So, if your favorite character in your mind's stage play just got done saying "write in all lower case, it's true to ur feels" and then your least favorite character gets on stage and is like "clean this all up, are you asking for help from other people or talking to yourself," it sets up an inner feeling of "me" vs. "me"...this will cause various outcomes and depending on the situation, some of those will likely be unwanted.

So I'd start with #2, work on your definition, deepen it, stay away from breadth and make it your own study. Then slowly find ways to integrate #3 over time.

This is a values-based perspective you're asking about, btw, which has its own set of pros / cons:

- Pro: If you find people who appreciate value, they'll listen to you and you can be a helpful consultant to them (some people prefer situational logic or even randomness over value, so it's not a universal want/need)

- Pro: You'll tend to be perceived as more authentic by people with whom you communicate

- Con: You may tend to perceive people who use "boxy language" or polite AI-style language as insincere, inauthentic, or just dishonest, which is not always the case. For example, this language is really good at helping people set professional boundaries without having to take every conversation super deep, so it's efficient and authentic to role-focused support in its own way.

- Con: There is often a hair's breadth of distance between "authentic" and "too focused on how great my own perspectives are"

- Con: Your inner "I don't wanna" can very easily and convincingly counter any logic, probability, etc., which can actively work against you an your life goals.

- Con: You will tend to get stuck writing in lowercase a lot, I know this cuz i been there

Just some thoughts & good luck.

This seems like baseless fearmongering for the sake of fearmongering. Sort of like NIMBYism.

US states are states are not provinces for the same reason EU member states are states and not provinces.

It's also why the US Senate designed to represent states like the EU council, was never intended to be proportional.
I hope it does, we need more competition in appstores. Don't really care about Meta but more is good for the consumer in general.
It’s a bit unclear if this means that 1.2% of all chatGPT Plus subscribers were active during that 9-hour window
Not surprising from a company that calls itself openai. The “open source” keyword stuffing is so people associate the open from openai with open source. Psyops I mean marketing 101.
The "proportionately" is assumed.

It's possible to imagine circumstances in which the upper classes suffer proportionately more than the lower classes. We have, in fact, had these circumstances. Such as the impact of transition from land wealth to industrial wealth during the first couple of industrial revolutions that saw various nobles having to sell their ancestral estates and belongings. Meanwhile the lower classes gained jobs that allowed them to afford more than they could before.
You're right. They won't make any progress on this metric at all.

While true, I also believe OpenAI at least has a chance of their model being proprietary. So, while I am angered by OpenAI, I am unsure I could make the same to-me-slamdunk argument for why they have no standing for a DMCA on their weights (were such leaked)... whereas, for Facebook, either the weights can't be copywritten at all, they can be copywritten but the copyright is owned by the people who made the training data, or--and this is key--the model is a derivative work of the code they released under GPL.
The whole idea of an archive is to archive stuff. "Just memory-hole the stuff that's hostile to archival" is not a solution.
As a native speaker, no, there's hardly any consensus I've seen about how to pronounce them. Certainly there are trends. But I pronounce Dalai somewhere between "Dah-lay" and "Dah-lie", and DALL-E sorta like Dolly ("Dah-lee"), but with a deliberate pause ("Dahl Ee").
