> Don't many community/government libraries do this?

Those books are licensed to the libraries by the publishers. The introduction of the opinion here explains how it works:

> This dispute concerns the way libraries lend ebooks. Public and academic libraries in the United States spend billions of
dollars each year obtaining print books and ebooks for their
patrons to borrow for free. Pls.’ 56.1 ¶ 113. Libraries usually buy their print books from publishers or wholesalers. Id. ¶ 114. Copies of ebooks, however, are typically not bought but licensed to libraries from publishers through distributors called “aggregators.” Id. ¶ 117.

As I said elsewhere: the relevant percentage is not "how many normal people itemize?" but "how many NPR contributors itemize?"

OpenAI: ChatGPT Bug Leaked Payment Info to Other Users
As a language purist, I'm slightly saddened by the removal of the colon to indicate the beginning of an indented block on the next line.

I believe Cobra did the same and it always bogs my mind why that darned colon can't be left in peace. When you are reading line N, you already know that the next line will be indented, if there is a colon, that is. It is all about making the reading experience as pleasant and meaningful as possible.

Other than that: don't mind my gripes and congrats with the project. It looks good! :-)
> the USA/EU vs Russia proxywar

No, its a China/North Korea/Iran vs. Ukraine proxy war.
The article doesn't seem to understand the issue.

Whether a copy of a work is fair use turns on, amongst other things, the effect of the copy on the potential market for the original. The article acknowledges this.

Controlled Digital Lending competes directly with the licensing scheme publishers have for library ebooks. The fair use argument was always doomed to fail.

The article then completely ignores the copyright argument and tries to equate CDL with libraries loaning out their physical copies. This is completely absurd, since libraries do not distribute duplicates of their physical books and so do not even enter the realm of copyright.

If libraries were systematically distributing duplicates of their existing books they would be sued for copyright infringement.
Man, eBay doesn't really like sellers either. I got fucked trying to sell an old Cray that I had sitting around. Kept getting bid on by zero-feedback buyers who would then not pay. Then you have to sit and wait 7 days for them to respond to a non-payment before you can re-list it. Maybe eBay is on your side if you're hawking 3000 shit trinkets built by child slaves... that's the only thing I can figure.
If China really had these tools, they'd open source them. Obliterating the Cadence/Siemens(Mentor)/Synopsys oligopoly would be nothing but upside for China (and everybody else, too).

The fact that there are no open source repositories for these tools means that they are vaporware.

Well, it can't be a fantasy novel, because Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is the only fantasy novel ever written. Everything else is a Tolkien pastiche.
Irrelevant how many people overall itemize. The question is "how many NPR contributors itemize?"

Competitive coding has always been a bit of a joke, but it's a great entry vector for kids to get introduced to programming (and eventually software engineering). I'm not entirely sure how to feel about this, though. I have always been suspicious that the existence of the game of competitive coding has been used to kind of justify the "leetcodification" of the tech interview circuit, and (IMO) that can't go away soon enough.

If we go by another Peter, Peter Lynch in this case he would say no one can predict inflation or interest rates long term. Secondly his words is there is always something to worry about when investing - like when oil went to 40 and there would be a depression or when Japan was going to take over the world leading to Americas downfall - or when Japan was crashing and going to cause a depression. Or when oil went from 40 to 10 and would cause a depression. Or when in 82 the prime rate went to 20 and there was stagflation that no one predicted in 80 or 81. Now Schiff may be right and we are heading for this finally after years of slow growth from 2010-2018 when inflation was lower than the feds target of 2% something no one would have predicted in 2008. Schiff may be right after predicting multiple large depressions to finally get one right.
> It's not about them as personalities, but what they represent.

So... Still personalities since they don't really represent anything but themselves.

> And their flaws only prove why billionaires should not exist and why they should not have that kind of power.

Their flaws are no worse than yours. And people you've named don't have THAT kind of power. Musk barely scratched a shred of power with twitter but was viciously attacked by people with actual power and quickly shown his place.

In any case, your rage should be directed towards someone from the military industrial complex for example - these people actually murdered people and engineered wars in order to get money.

Gates, Musk and so on are harmless children in comparison. This basically looks like another variation of rant about holywood/rap-singers/bloggers and their endless flaws that are oh so harmful to otherwise totally functional society. Really treating a serious issue as some kind of joke or a tabloid material.

Not exactly a theory that this field has a higher percentage of autistic people. I think the communication deficit is more of a deficit between non autistic people and autistic people.
It's literally forcing a tenet of a religion on everyone. It's like making it illegal to sell beef on Fridays during Lent or making alcohol illegal in an Islamic country.
Hi nightmarish,

Its likely that you've seen my last inquiry. I'm very much interested in the forces that compelled your very limited behavior here on HN. Any insight you could offer will likely go further than your more deliberate attempts to influence people's opinions
Google never lent out entire copyrighted books without the publisher’s permission. Books.google.com consisted of 1) old public domain books that can be fully downloaded, 2) limited preview books that the publisher opted into putting online partially, and 3) snippet view books that only showed a sentence of context in response to search queries. The Authors’ Guild sued over 3), Google argued that they transformed the book into a search index, not a reading experience, and Google won.
Big "if", though.
I'm not sure what to make of the grassland angle. It works well for the reindeer scenario, given the reindeer have always been with that ecosystem. However, how well does that scale to production levels we need to support 8 billion people? I also wonder how well that translates to other areas. I understand we've pretty much destroyed the American prairies. Not sure about the details of that though.
Schiff didn't account for the economic ignorance of the masses in his prediction. He understood that runaway inflation would cause the gold price to spike, he didn't foresee the confidence that traders have in the FED to fight off inflation.

The FED cannot win the inflation fight (confirmed by their recent soft pivot back to QE) and gold will not go up until the traders realize this fact.
Or you could just quit using AirBnB... And not continue to encourage them to rip off their customers.
No, but it'll save you from failing tech interviews.

Before anyone say it, coding interviews are stupid, but having a proper job (at a proper company, with proper career paths) is not.
Yep. I installed their app and first step is to provide my phone#.
Just like any author of MIT licensed open source software is clear about their license which clearly states they are not responsible in any way whatsoever for the shortcomings of their licensees.
Let’s not assume badly of them. The real reason is likely that the person who changes it to black (dang?) isn’t around to do it right now.
Sorry I think I wasn’t clear. I didn’t mean there was a dedicated writer any more than there’s a dedicated speaker or dedicated coder. The conversation is about the mode by which people gain their clarity. A person who gains clarity by writing will naturally gravitate to doing that and will be the dominant writer in the team. But that doesn’t obviate anyone from writing. There are people that gravitate to drawing things out to think things through. That’s where the gravitate, and they’ll likely end up doing a lot of the diagramming. Etc. But everyone participates in every aspect to their ability. The key is recognizing everyone isn’t the same, and that’s not a flaw but a feature. Many managers have a prescriptive view of an engineer and evaluate them like quality control in a widget factory. An excellent manager evaluates the people for their strengths and aligns their work to those strengths. In the foot ball analogy the core skill is running. Everyone runs. But some are really really fast runners. So you have them run really really fast. You let the person who’s really good at throwing be the quarter back. They still run, but it’s not expected they run as well as the fastest runners nor is it a problem. Because the fastest runners are the catchers. If you think engineers don’t come in the variety and shapes and skills as a football team, I don’t think you really understand how teams or humans or engineers work yet and I hope you consider looking at them as individuals and not a prescriptive skill set.
I used to be an avid NPR listener myself until I started noticing their extreme left bias with a big push for the government propaganda…I cannot stand them anymore!
Part of it was also what was in vogue and what humans wanted to depict with art. Or allowed by the Church (idol worship and whatnot). Not to say it wasn't a skill to be discovered and pioneered. But there were reasons in addition skill floor why it developed when and how it did.
Not your point, but the GitHub UI always sucked, in my opinion.

It helped greatly that the fed acted so fast. Had nothing been done it would have been way worse. Even Charles Schwab even was down 20% on Monday ,and this was after the bailout. Things were getting really scary.
There's some interesting wheels-within-wheels of moral hazard here. In particular, it sucks to be a sedentary depositor that did not contribute to the bank run, to let those depositors cook is to make it much better to be twitchy and contribute to runs.
I think the spirit of Moore's Law (the context in which it is most often used) is better referred to as the Law of Accelerating Returns [1] [2] (e.g. by Ray Kurzweil). Moore's Law is a sub-section (in time and technology) of the Law of Accelerating Returns.

Kazuo Ishiguro won a Nobel for writing an SF novel. Although the New Yorker did try to claim it wasn't SF, I think most of the other reviews accepted it.
The first-sale doctrine was also covered in the ruling. According to the letter of the law (17 USC § 109) it specifically only covers the distribution of existing authorized physical copies; it doesn't grant you permission to make a copy and lend that to a friend.
So then IA just needs to have a free membership and implement the most basic DRM.

On further reflection one of the major missing signals from ChatGPT is time. This is especially important for technology. When someone's explaining, giving an opinion, providing a solution -- I always consider that in the context of the date attached. ChatGPT gives us these answers that remove that.

I see completely the difference in your example, though, where you can easily and immediately validate the response. It definitely is way stronger at that than previous solutions.

ARPANET started in the late 1960s. The internet was mostly crystallized as early as 1982 when TCP/IP was standardized[1]. AOL became common place in the late 1990s.

The Bitcoin network started in 2009. Ethereum, which allows multiple decentralized applications to run on a single chain, started in 2015. The Bitcoin Lightning Network which scales Bitcoin transactions with state channels started in 2019.

Uniswap and MakerDAO are pretty impressive use cases. Ethereum is becoming more efficient as rollups[2] are developed and released which will lead to use cases that we can’t predict yet.

This reminds me of slaughter bots. I truly believe we are under threat right now of handheld drones that can kill by exploding. It's only a matter of time until someone weaponizes them domestically.

Why do you call it “leftist jargon”? There’s nothing political about the word, it’s purely technical.
Will take a bit of time before AI can consistently beat us on coding/proofs but the raw ingredients imo are there. As someone who was skeptical of AGI via just scaling things up even after GPT-3, what convinced me was the chain of thought prompting paper. That shows the LLM can pick up on abstract thought and reasoning patterns that humans use. Only a matter of time before it picks up on all of our reasoning patterns (or maybe it already has and is just waiting to be prompted properly...), is hooked up to a good memory system so it's not limited by the context window and then we can watch it go brrrr

It can still make stupid mistakes in reasoning but I don't think that's fundamentally unsolvable in the current paradigm
Peter Schiff predicted this from the moment the fed bailouted the banks in 2008.

He predicted dollar collapse, hyperinflation for 11 years, and a bunch of other stuff the didn't come true. Major broken clock syndrome on his part. Inflation finally spiked, but after being wrong since 2008. Gold still has not done much in a decade. The inflation was from the post-covid recovery, which was so strong that supply chain could not keep up, not as a consequence of 2008.

It's very easy to predict something will eventually happen. Anyone can do that. Way harder to predict when,
Libraries' ebook lending programs are not legal because they require membership and use DRM. They're legal because they're authorized by the copyright owners, and those are the terms the copyright owners choose to impose (along with licensing fees).
> that they don’t deteriorate the way that physical books do

Wow, so they're arguing that the destruction of the sold good is implicit in the sale, and that preventing that is therefore illegal.
I guess the meaning of our existence was always handing the universe over to the AI overlords lol
So Apple/Google need to come up with a geofenced protocol where once you enter it, the phone enters DND by default. Which means multiple calls from same number go thru, and it could be overwritten for doctors and such, but in general once you walk in the fence phones are dulled.

You could even add a limit networking and app function without entering some verbose acknowledgment that you are being a rude guest or some such.

Most reasonable people would appreciate the assist to have phone realize you are at the opera and silence itself for you.

I'm reminded of "I often find myself [a Socialist] explaining my preference for the pink paper of liberal capitalism over the Gray Lady of cultural liberalism. The answer is simple: by literally any measure, the Financial Times is just a better paper. It covers the world as it is—a global battle not of ideas or values, but of economic and political interests. [...] the reporting is usually more in-depth; the reporters generally have more expertise; the coverage is more comprehensive both geographically and substantively" [1]

Out of curiosity, how does paying with Apple Pay circumvent this issue? I’m 6 months into a year-long nomading trip and would love to avoid a similar fate as OP.

And is Apple Pay alone sufficient to solve the issue, or is it the combo of debit card AND Apple Pay?
Yes. Peter Schiff has predicted 20 of the last 0 collapses and depressions.
Think what you like. But I called out crypto I will call this out. But ChatGPT has the potential to be a major component to AI. It is a cornerstone.

The problem is English. AI means something differently between use. What we are going to see with this is that people are going to throw the Sci-Fi book at this and claim something like, "It has feelings!".

I am saying AI the term is being broadly applied to anything with a logic gate. And this is bad marketing for a product too early in development.

It is not the conventional term AI everyone broadly applies. It is a cornerstone toward the AI people broadly apply.
> Do you know any more about ChatGPT internals than those programmers know about the human brain?

Yes, especially every time I have to explain what an LLM is or anytime I see a comment about how ChatGPT "reasoned" or "knew" or "understood" something when that clearly isn't how it works by OpenAI's own admission.

But even if that wasn't the case especially yes do I understand some random ML project more than programmers know about what constitutes human!

I suspect the fatal error OpenAI saw was an "SSL error: decryption failed or bad mac"? Or if SSL were disabled, they likely would see the sort of parsing error vaguely described as an "unrecoverable server error" due to streams of data from one request being swapped with another, with incorrect data structures, bad alignment, etc. I can see how if the stars aligned and SSL were disabled this data race would manifest in viewing another user's request, so long as the sockets were receiving similar responses when they were swapped. I suspect the issue is deeper than the bug recently fixed in just redis-asyncio.

Libraries written prior to asyncio/green threads often have that functionality enabled by means of monkey patches or shims that juggle file handles or other shared state, and there are data races. When SSL is used hopefully those data races reading from sockets result in MAC errors and the connection is terminated.

It's easy to imagine the same mistake happening one level up, in message passing code that manages queues or other shared data structures.

Search for "python django OR celery OR redis OR postgres OR psycopg2 decryption failed or bad mac" and you'll see the scale of the issue, it's fairly widespread.

I don't have a high degree of confidence in this ecosystem. I've written about this before on Hacker News[1], and I'm not confident in the handling of shared data structures in Python libraries. I don't think I can blame any maintainers here, there's a huge number of people asking for these concurrency features and the way that it's often implemented - monkey patching especially - makes it extremely difficult to do correctly.

Ah! Blame the economic ignorance of the masses and the traders. Peter was always right even if reality turned out to be different.
Someone swallowed the propaganda. They'll probably get defensive about it too and try to argue for their manufacturered belief.
Agreed wholeheartedly. I would have refused not because I don’t trust the guys (the context of being a ycombinator founder event would give me a lot of confidence), but because it’s clear they aren’t really doing anything to safeguard the phones very well. Looks to me like it’s ripe for someone pulling a social engineering hack on them and getting access to some high-value phones.

If they had a bank of PO Box style lockers (so some rudimentary physical security) and a security guard I’d be satisfied, but a couple fellow founders standing guard over a card table while also themselves being distracted by the meet-and-greet nature of the event is not my idea of a good place to leave my phone.
