Everything you're saying would be true if it was the journalist themselves doing the alledging. But the journalist is quoting a source through paraphrase, and the source is doing the alledging.

It is not libel to say "An anonymous source said [libelous thing.]" Because there is no claim made through that statement that what the anonymous source is saying, is true. The only claim being made through that statement is that that claim is in fact what the source said. If the anonymous source wasn't anonymous, maybe they'd be guilty of libel. But the journalist isn't. They're just reporting on the libel someone else is committing.
You're right. The US has murdered far more innocents and invaded many more countries in the last 50 years than Russia has in its long existence. Introspection is sorely lacking around here.
The Windows 10 Snip & Sketch has the same problem though.

> Your whole solution is already going against the very nature of man: to be an egoist driven by instincts.

And your solution is to push all the effort on others, because there are more of them? You still did not address in the slightest how this could ever work-- how are you going to convince the Chinese people that they need to reduce their emissions from 8 to 5 tons each, while EVERY american citizen emits 15?!

> It makes a fundamental difference to implement effects in 20 different systems or in one. Because time matters. And therefore efficiency.

How so? Every nation is going to implement these on their own anyway, and this can all happen in parallel. The US is not gonna be any faster or slower in electrifying vehicles or cleaning up power generation just because China does the same at the same time...

> What I would really like to know is: Do you seriously believe that in the next 5-10 years humanity will overcome its differences and together put its economic interests aside to achieve the goal? And all this without the greatest social riots ever seen?

This is not black or white, and every investment towards getting rid of fossils is already a step where someone put sustainability above economics. So YES, because this is already happening (to a degree). There is also historical precedent with getting rid of leaded fuel and CFCs, where international cooperation worked out decently.

But I still believe that we're gonna fail the 2°C threshold because we did too little too late.
Interesting, my sites have a similar problem. Time to add this to the test suite

Only if your detection system is "perfect". Personally I'd be fine with something with high precision and low recall, even if it means forcing users to rewrite their content to make it less AI-like (like /r9k/ on steroids).

Ruthlessness and greed tend to be signature qualities of successful companies and their executives.
Don't you need admin to run `updatedb`? On a work machine, this is my main barrier to using plocate.
Yeah I mean if AI HN comments start to appear does that really matter in the end. Ie there’s already a lot of noise in the form of low quality comments, and they get downvoted. If an AI manages to produce high quality comments that people upvote im not sure I care that it wasn’t generated by a human
I once sent someone a YouTube link and they were wondering why I sent them a link to an ad. It didn't even occur to me there would be an ad there because I was using FF and UBO, and obviously he wasn't. UBO just makes it so seamless that it is easy to forget.

Nuclear takes way too long to come online. If we decide today to build 40 new reactors around the world it will be decades before they are online and operational.

Nuclear is also way too expensive. Building those 40 reactors would cost way, way more than building equivalent production in wind and solar.

Renewables and storage are cheaper, faster and yes, safer. There is absolutely no rational reason to keep building new nuclear reactots.
Are you sure it’s not because it’s many times more efficient than any other source of electricity “generation”?
My prediction is that in 20 years, we’ll have a shortage of programmers. Most of the hype seems to rest on the assumption that LLMs will eventually stop hallucinating falsities. But what if that doesn’t come to fruition?

I subscribe to the law of contrary public opinion: if the man on the street is saying one thing, bet the other way.
Why do wind generators need those but not other types of generators?
In other intel news, Raja is no longer with them. Seems like he was forced out and some of the rumours about the bleak future of their consumer GPU business may turn out to be true
It likely wouldn’t be “court voids contract” it would most likely be “it isn’t a contract”.

It is a bit of a stretch to even say that the GPL even has the required elements of a contract between SFC and Vizio. (And the GPL was never designed to work this way anyway.)

How do you offer someone a contract without ever sending it to them? How do you argue that Visio concurrently offered the terms of the GPL and ignored it? Either there’s an offer or there’s not

It seems to me that Vizio simply ignored the GPL, and the issue is precisely that they didn’t offer it to their customers. Yes, they were supposed to under copyright law, but they didn’t.

At the end of the day, for this to be a valid contract, it’ll have to be shown that:

* Vizio offered the source code to SFC (did this actually happen?)

* SFC accepted that contract (did this happen?)

* there was an exchange of value (this one is easy: the TV)

* that they were capable of entering into the contract (again, easy)

* that there was a meeting of the minds (it might be a defense here that Vizio was just blindly copy and pasting shit!)

A summary is available in: https://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/VanRoyChapter.pdf

One of the running themes is the paradigm paradox: "More is not better (or worse) than less, just different".

In other words, each paradigm has its own distinct advantages, which are discussed both in practical terms and using formal semantics.

It does matter. For instance, what will you train your future AI on? If AI ends up eating its own tail it will end up amplifying its errors and the end result is that you won't be able to trust anything that wasn't written down before this hit.
Someone may get called lots of names from "both the left and the right."

It doesn't mean they have, therefore, achieved some kind of enlightened balance.

The fact that you can cite a lot of angry right-wingers trying to pull discourse in their direction through whining just means there's a lot of right wingers posting here trying to form critical mass, as one would expect given the composition of America as a country.

You don't get more of those kinds of critiques from communists because 1) there's barely any communists here and 2) we don't argue like that.

Pretty fair modding, though. GJ.
I've never owned a Hyundai, but stuff like this makes me want to look at them.

I recently bought what I thought was a car, only to find it is a tech-ridden abomination.

I want a vehicle that is reliable. I want a vehicle that is simple. I do not want a rolling AI/touchscreen.

Even just from a security standpoint I want minimal software in my car.
Abgnale outputted a story. I’ll grant that.

Point of my comment is people also accuse Jobs of outputting only a story. But it’s ludicrous to believe all the rest of the stuff is just coincidence that happens to surround Jobs, again and again and again.

Adobe had a whole bunch of smart people including Dave Abrahams helping transition to iPhone and iPad, and to build for the cloud, so I'm not sure what you're thinking here.
There are contexts where it does matter. For instance, plagiarism detection at schools.
I think the jury is out on simulated CSAM. There was a law against it in the 90s, that got overturned, then they made a new law, and someone has been prosecuted by it over their imported manga collection. I would certainly err on the side of thinking it's illegal in the US right now.

The two were merged in Windows 11, reverting the newer tool to the “Snipping Tool” name of the older tool.

I believe the most important things to humanity right now, as it pertains to AI ;;

1.) the ability to MATHS in our heads.

2.) Navigation biologically (internal compass) - and map reading ability.

3.) analog communication methods

It would matter to me because I'm here to read what people write, not what bots write. Besides that being against the HN guidelines noise in the form of high quality comments is still noise.
Sorry for the bad PR, but Ive been trying to get a refund for a few days now. On Friday I paid for the service but was not aware it requires over 20 specific photos, which I don't have at hand. I haven't used the compute time. I didn't even upload anything.

I messaged you under a twitter thread, using the livechat on your website and via the email on the invoice. No response.

I understand. There are many intelligent ways to handle it.

Yes, I copied your prompt exactly into a fresh context. I’m not surprised by the diversity of responses, that’s pretty common since there’s likely a random seed for each chat instance. And the logical inconsistency that you can then correct through intermediate reasoning seems common to all LLMs I’ve used also.

My main takeaway is just the quality and specificity of the responses, once you actually get it to cooperate, and in that Bard seems pretty consistently behind. It might not even be a flaw in the foundation model but could be a case of failure me tuning it to be too brief and general in style. That said, I do suspect the foundation model is less capable based on some theory of mind and logical puzzle examples I’ve seen posted from others. Plus it seems to be a poor coder even when it does cooperate.
You have to get a whole workspace thing and administer your email like a company. And there are many settings to get wrong! And problems like this where some Google products don't work or are limited.
I make a point out of excluding google out of mg workflow. I don't have any google devices and don't use any google services personally with the exceptions of searching stuff I know ddg isn't being good at or youtube. Haven't had a google account in several years.

I don't hate and despise google like I do companies like fb. Google to me, if it was a person would be someone that is incredibly and impressively smart and capable yet chooses to be a dick a lot because of poor social skills but also because he/she is so rich they can afford to harm you and not worry about their reputation or legal fees if you sue them. I suppose what makes it hard for me to hate them completley is that some of their products are actually impressive and they don't have any usable social media services which makes them less harmful to society at large which isn't the case for any fb or linkedin service.

The only other tech company that is like Google is Microsoft in my opinion.

I really hope laws catch up to address the scumminess of these companies and places like Google get a change in leadership and culture. It's like Google was great for like 2 minutes and then became a really modern and super innovative version of comcast lol.
I don't think you are anywhere near that line. Using human beings as part of a punchline is pretty much the opposite of funny. Trying to rub something in the nose of people who were laid off is rather tacky, too.
The Windows 11 Snipping Tool is the evolution of the Windows 10 Snip & Sketch, confusingly.
That's mostly due to the lack of viable rivers left to dam.
"Triggering demand" is a little strong. I also bought an Enron sweatshirt for the lulz, but that doesn't mean there's actual demand (in the economic sense) for Enron stuff there.
Lol, the headline reminds me of "whale oil beef hooked". Can't remember where I saw it, maybe early reddit days or b3ta, but it's a long time ago and my brain held onto it for no reason. (It's supposed to be a way to speak with an Irish accent)

Composing that kind of lyrics requires world knowledge. Take the line "But your verse was plain, like unbuttered toast." It requires understanding of what makes a good verse and what makes a good toast.
Technologies don’t live forever. At some point you need to upgrade, and at some points there will be some major breaking changes.

.NET 4.8 is still fully supported, and there is no end-of-life communicated yet. It is a part of windows server 2022, which will be supported until 2031, that’s probably the earliest possible end-of-life date for .NET 4.8.
It's not simply a case of more data = more work to migrate, which by the way is a fallacy in many cases. This is an artificial type of "gravity", because the migration procedure itself was hampered by deliberate disabling of the necessary tools.
People seem to have major difficulty separating the person from the message. Look at the current HN "Nuclear Power movie" thread. Most of the comments have devolved into a debate about whether Oliver Stone is a good person or not, totally irrelevant.

Any time a prominent figure is mentioned here, there's always someone who crawls out of the woodwork to comb back through everything the figure wrote just so he can post "bbbbbbut look! On February 12, 2004, he said a racist thing, so obviously nothing else he has said in his entire life should be listened to!"

Right. Completely nothing to do with underdelivering while bending the knee to whoever corporation brib... I mean lobbied more.
At least with major projects this is 100% the case. Had a buddy involved in a state legislature said one of the reasons there is so much road work and construction going on all the time is because it is one of the easiest ways to disguise corruption and embezzlement.

As an example in a 5 year project for a new overpass you can have literally 1000s of different contractors involved in the work and it becomes very difficult to notice and prove that Joe's Cement company never showed up to pour the liminal substrate pylons like they were paid $10k to do.
I think there's some confusion at what distributed databases like Spanner, Cockroach, etc do:

- A given row of data is configured to have N replicas, e.g. 3, 5, etc, but N doesn't have to equal the actual size the database cluster. e.g. you can have a database cluster of 21 nodes with N being 3. N represents the "Raft cluster size" and the database is composed of many "Raft clusters" that are responsible for segments of the data space. You can horizontally scale the size of the database cluster by adding more nodes and thus more "Raft clusters"

- Raft/Paxos are used to ensure linearizable writes to those replicas through a leader

- Multi row/partition transactions are handled through a different kind consensus called atomic commit/2 phase commit that's orthogonal to Raft/Paxos consensus:
https://timilearning.com/posts/mit-6.824/lecture-12-distribu...

- Systems like Spanner, Cockroach have higher write latencies because replicas in Raft cluster have to achieve quorum consensus, but reads latency can mostly not be affected by always reading from the leader of a cluster via things like leader leases.
Look up Corey Doctorows post that coined it. It is beyond brilliant.

Enshittifying is deeply encoded in the mechanisms of VC money and unlimited growth.
Funny you mention this because more threads/comments on Reddit are bot created. It's unfortunate that the thing that killed forums is now being filled with bots replying to each other and posting threads.

It's alright for now, but not so sure how long that will remain. I already stumbled upon some of them in a niche subreddit. Easy to detect now, due to the uncanny way it interjects "facts" into it's comments that are supposed to mimic a reddit rant. In the long term when this stops being so easy to detect, I think a lot of people will start questioning why use Reddit (or similar places) at all.

I think also if you hate SEO spam, you might want to brace yourself for chatGPT enabled SEO spam. It's so "good" you might think "Dr. Brandon Amersmith" is a real person and take horrible advice from him.
"Strictly speaking, all we know is that is that in Scotland at least one side of one sheep is black".
You can make that false claim and make a liar out of your own self but the facts are it doesn't even matter if the US spies on its own people or not, it won't change the fact that americans don't want China to also have critical data that can be used against them as a country.

We really need a term for silly people that jealous-hate the US lol
On the internet, no on knows you're a dog. Who cares?
You don’t just use a single service, it’s a pain like that. You basically provision instances and pass data back and forth.

You have to use Watson Discovery to find things and update your corpus

Watson NLU to make the discovery findings searchable

Then you have to do Watson classifiers, and a whole basket of sub-tools etc. But once all that’s set up you can “ask it questions” like you do for ChatGPT
It’s a good example of “living memory”. You won’t find an example like this outside the commonwealth.
For the point about the Google firmware modules, the firmware directory you linked to is specifically for Chromebooks, which people do have, and the modules are useful if you want to run vanilla Linux with coreboot on this hardware. If the code for these modules was maintained out of tree it would be much harder to run a regular Linux distribution on the hardware as you'd have to go build a custom kernel rather than just reconfiguring and rebuilding the kernel your distro provides.

Furthermore the whole point of modules on Linux is that you can completely disable them, or if they're built as modules they'll only be loaded if needed (in some cases this is done on-demand automatically if the relevant hardware is detected, in other cases it might be done via logic in your initrd).
Deaths per form of transport:

MySQL and Postgres are completely different technologies that are both accessed by a similar interface.
Todays scraps are yesterdays state-of-the-art, and that's very logical and applies to far more than just AI applications. It's the way research and development result in products and the subsequent optimization. This has been true since the dawn of time in one form or another. At some point stone tools were high tech and next to affordably. Then it was bronze, then iron, and at some point we finally hit steam power. From there to the industrial revolution was a relatively short span and from there to electricity, electronics, solid state, computers, personal computers, mobile phones, smartphones and so on in ever decreasing steps.

If anything the steps are now so closely following each other that we have far more trouble tracking the societal changes and dealing with them than that we have a problem with the lag between technological advancement and its eventual commoditization.
With rqlite, the docs indicate that a single node setup should run ok.

Is that supposed to still apply when a small cluster (eg three nodes) is reduced to a single node? eg during node failures, maintenance, node failures during maintenance ;), etc.

When I was trying rqlite last week - eg prototyping a new SQLite "cloud" offering for DBHub.io - a remaining single node would consistently refuse to elect itself as the leader. Using default settings for everything.

Tried it out several times, though I didn't give it more than a minute or two to get itself happy.

Anyway, had to go with an initial non-RAFT approach for the prototype, but will likely investigate rqlite again in the future if I was just doing something dumb / fixable with tweaking. :)
Yeah, and I've got a feeling Bard (and maybe ChatGPT for that matter) might be using (2) since I didn't attempt to obfuscate the structure too much. Ironically the fact that it recognizes it as the false belief test is what makes me suspicious it's just matching against the semantic structure.
