> Are you a lawyer?

No, but I have learned a bit about software licensing to be able to meaningfully engage in making run of Minio, so this is real info.

Specifically, most open licenses have a clause like this:

(from GPL3) ...and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met ...

Which is the bit that means you can't decide after the fact that at this point in time the software was not licensed under GPL3, this is to protect from I guess license-entrapment, which is sort of what you'd like to do.

However, even when this irrevocability is unmentioned, there's US precedent[1] that consideration is exchanged in the use of a FOSS license, which TLDRLEGAL means that a license not mentioning irrevocability is likely revocable only for violation of its conditions.

It does all add up quickly indeed.

Not to mention, things that fall outside of capital / income taxes which increase the overall percentage in sneaky ways in the US: car registration fees, the death tax, property taxes, student loan repayments (depending on your view of subsidized university).
> Put another way, I recognize the apparent similarity, but I don’t recognize the relevance

The judge recognized the similarity too. He was arrested for the previous incident so as far as this criminal’s arrest record goes, he was arrested for a similar thing already and never learned to do better. I guess you’re arguing, his subsequent crime is a lot more serious and deserves a harsher punishment?

Previous he tried to disorient and incapacitate a police officer, probably with a firearm which can then be taken while they are incapacitated, and here it’s a whole plane full of passengers.
There was an interesting SCOTUS case heard this term centered around these issues:

This stuff can and does kill and if you're not aware of it then pay attention: this is one of the more direct consequences of climate change, it may well push zones that are currently marginally habitable right into inhabitable.
I use my great-grandfather as an example of how stagnant wages are. He was a bowling alley manager, he supported a family of 4 with just his salary. This was the 1950's. When he retired he built a brand new home on a lake.

He lived in a fascinating time of growth and expansion in the USA. He was born on a farm without a car or electricity. And he lived until the early 2000's with a cellular phone in his pocket.
Wow I would hope some of these artists were benefited/compensated financially by Liechtenstein. This is sad if all this time they received no recognition.
Not when I last looked.

I'm their victim—they having stung me on multiple occasions.
"Free trade" with China ended many years ago.
Just look what they did with Huawei in pretense of security.

If that's free trade - then I'm Santa Klaus
In reality, most of these would not be problems, but they still occupy headspace and linger at the back of my mind.
It's a huge trade-off and arguably one whose countermeasures are too burdensome for normal users. Folks will get locked out when they lose their device. So they'll end up back to secret questions (a slightly more human friendly password), backup codes (also easily lost passwords), or have to buy and grant access to another device for every service.

Also requires sites and services actually accept another -- or weaker -- device/secret as a backup.

IMO Passkeys are dead unless both services and device makers can automate adding another device easily, securely, and for all active services at once. Otherwise their benefits are too small and costs too large to justify broad and indefinite support.
Compared to not having the fine particulate matter in our lungs for our whole lives probably?
Yes. Several years ago when banks started using voice pattern recognition as part of telephone banking authentication that was a pretty cool advance, but now it's looking redundant.
I've done some toy Elixir things and I really like it; not enough to get hired but enough to like the shiny packaging. (It might be that shiny all the way down, I just don't have the experience to say.)

Gleam though... that looks more to my liking _syntax_ wise. Familiarity more than anything, but might try some toy stuff on it soon.

BEAM interests me immensely from a user standpoint; I'm just wondering how much time it has in the world vs. containerization and orchestration.

Haven't heard of efene yet; thanks for that. Now my Sunday's ruined =D

That was certainly true in the early to mid-60s in the US. (And in the UK.)
What's the security model in PostgREST? I'm imagining it is called from your backend as a convenience vs. having a database connection library, so not typically exposed to public users of a website?
It’s a Lego “Ideas” set which is where fans build example sets, other fans vote on them, Lego examines them, determines if they can get the license if needed, and then rebuilds them for production.

Very many interesting sets, and some are now in stores (saw the Lego Office set at a Walmart, can’t wait for that to clearance and I’ll grab it root sweet)

Lego Friends is also the name for a theme built in-house and designed to appeal to girls (though the sets are not overly ‘pink’ if you will, and quite well designed as a “city”) by replacing the mini figs with mini dolls that are more realistically proportioned. It has been very successful and arguably has replaced much of Lego City (the boys I know have no problem mixing mini figs and mini dolls, the girls prefer to keep to the mini dolls).
Ask HN: What were the 2010s about?
The 1960s were defined by youth movements; our decade is going to be defined by AI. What were the things that defined the 2010s?
No.

You need to sue in order for anything to happen. Laws do not enforce themselves. But no, you do not need to do anything to be considered "not public domain" but rather the opposite.
Interesting how ASML appears in the context. The Chinese want to own electronics of the Western world.
Isn't this what Richard Prince has been doing for years, though? (And, for right or wrong, winning?)
> The lactic acid bacteria produced during kimchi fermentation is most active right around freezing temperature,

The bacteria are definitely not more active near freezing compared to a warm room, ferments happen much quicker when it's warm.
I'd say when you're actively trying to remember an event and "narrowing it down" mentally is a process that feels suspiciously like a dialogue with an LLM where you keep asking for the answer to be improved.
I love my job... been with them for the past decade... as a web designer. I remember when I first applied on Craigslist and didn't even think they were legit until they sent me a laptop. The job comes with creativity and a feeling of accomplishment, and I've built a massive portfolio, and work experience along the way. I get to design landing page advertisements for big companies and celebrity names such as J-Lo, Rihanna, Beyonce, Disney, Marvel Entertainment, and many more. I hope to be with them for another decade.

But with the good comes the bad. I have fought to keep my position for many years. Aside from dealing with at least five or six bosses over the course of my employment, letting power go to their head and trying to get me fired, every single of them failing to do so, in part because it's a bit hard to justify firing someone whose good at their job with projects equaling over half a million dollars a year, but at least I have had the privilege of observing all but one or two of them being let go, getting fired, or leaving the company themselves.

I have also faced pay cuts, lack of merit increases, and bonuses probably to appease our CEOs, which have been plentiful... as they can't seem to keep them. Not saying I don't get paid well for what I do, but it is well below the average for someone in my industry. However, I've utilized my remote position to acquire other jobs while continuing to work my primary job.

So why do I stay despite all I've been through? I love my company and what I do even though I've survived massive layoffs through the years, non-pandemic and pandemic. There is something about working for a media corporation that I love in spite of all the abuses or lack of incentive. I do what I do because it brings out the very creative side of me.
PavelDoGreat's WebGL Fluid Simulation is the first that came to my mind. Check it out on mobile too, it's amazing.

To train GANs you need access to the internal states of the generator, which you wouldn't have with these LLMs.
Why?

So let's say people pay to switch the infrastructure to support propane vehicles.

Then they switch to electric?

Propane also appears to be less energy dense than Gasoline. So people would be buying more fuel than before.

I don't know, I don't see the consumer coming out ahead on this while EV will have become the standard in the 2030's.
No, because the closing </html> tag can be omitted according to the current HTML spec. See https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#optional-tags
What was your method for hiring; were you looking for Elixir people who can come in hot, or people interested in it specifically that want to learn, or just "good software people" who'd be WILLING to learn it, or something else entirely?
> That's the sort of thing a bored teenager on 4Chan or KiwiFarms would do

Are Chinese operators sophisticated enough to encourage people on 4chan/kiwifarms to do the dirty work for them?

4chan is probably an unreliable gun to trigger, but the random effects when triggered could be useful if you want to cause grief to a target.
I have also seen Versace and Gucci versions, maybe some others I don't recall. I think they chose Balenciaga because the name itself feels kind of unusual and it fits the wizarding theme.

That being said, if it's an actual marketing campaign, then it's been quite successful at least in my case, as I never even knew Balenciaga existed before seeing these vids... Then I took a look at what they actually sell and promptly concluded I would never buy from them, even if I had the money lol.

Or we need to recognize some fundamental limits on what is measureable
I’d also point out that just the discussion about governments regulating LLM research is likely triggering many to start making contingency plans already. Make sure we have the datasets. make sure we have all the code and research papers.

Even on the individual level as for me the discussion of such ideas has me thinking individually if I should take any defensive steps or not.
Is most of that brake dust or from tire wear?
>Don’t you have to defend your copyrights in order for them to be considered not public domain

No. That's more a matter of trademark law. In general (IANAL) I assume an artist's estate could decide to start suing people even though the artist didn't. Though there may be some other wrinkles to them actually collecting money.
I’d argue for planning that the answer is to couple the LLM to some other system rather than try to improve the LLM. Combinatorial optimization is a well-understood problem that is NP-complete in theory but practical to solve in practice. For doing math we might as well give the LLM a pocket calculator, why not couple it to a planner, theorem prover and similar tools?
I wish recipe sites just did that; enter a base for some product, get the rest based off percentages, rounded up to unit ingredients as best as possible
Answered already, but in $previousjob we had a team named that, for the reason given. I thought it was kind of clever but unique - 3 jobs hence I work for another company that has the same, so maybe more ubiquitous than I'd thought.
This is great firmware in my experience. If you find or have an old unused Chromebook that it supports then it makes a perfect little Linux laptop.

Everyone should have equal rights. The only thing getting destroyed is the social acceptability of intolerance. It used to be socially acceptable, but it is no longer so.
I have been using Emacs ~50 years, and I have always hoped all of the history would be visible as lisp-expressions which you could view and modify in interactive mode.

It is somewhere there because undo knows it. Typical example is that you fumble something splendid/stupid with fat fingers and then cant figure out what you just did.
Open Assistant (abbreviated as OA) is a chat-based and open-source assistant developed by LAION-AI. The vision of the project is to create a large language model that can run on a single high-end consumer GPU. With some modifications, Open Assistant should also be able to interface with other third-party applications easily as well as retrieve information from databases and the Internet.

OpenAssistant is designed to be a chat-based assistant that can understand tasks and interact with third-party systems. It can retrieve information dynamically to accomplish these tasks. The assistant is also designed to be easily extendable and personalized, and is developed as free, open-source software.

Granted this is a bit oversimplified...

Do you think that's a fair trade-off? Pay a lot of money every year to keep something you bought, under threat of eviction and/or jail, just so you can hammer some nails into the wall?

I'm all for paying for my share of external benefits derived from taxes, but is it fair to people who get priced out of their own homes due to gentrification or being bullied into it by the masses? (Strangers that they don't agree with voting for taxes.) I suppose I'm more interested in consumption taxes than taxes for just existing.
It's important to consider the goals and motivations behind the development of AGI. Who is in control of this technology and how will it be used? The current power structure in our society is not interested in creating a better future for everyone. There is a growing concern that the development of AGI could be driven by the interests of a small group of people with a lot of power and money, rather than being used to create a better future for all people.

In this context, I think it's important to ask "progress towards what?" and to define what we mean by "better". We need to ensure that the development of AGI is done with a goal of benefiting everyone, not just the wealthy and powerful. This requires a shift in our political and economic systems, so that power is more evenly distributed and the needs of all people are taken into account.

I'm not saying that AGI is inherently bad, but we need to be cautious and intentional about its development and use. It's possible that AGI could be used to further entrench the power and control of the wealthy elite, rather than to create a better future for all people. To avoid this, we need to work towards creating a more democratic society where the benefits of technological progress are shared by all.
Building common components in Data Lakehouse is a necessity
I love and hate ruby for this reason. I'm working in it now, and it does allow some really fast-to-ship coding, but some of the LargeBrainedOne's framework stuff is so weirdly overly abstracted and metaprogramming'd ...

They'll write 500 lines of inscrutable framework code to save having to write 5 lines of boilerplate 3 or 4 times.
I'm actually a little sad. I desperately want better VR. Hate to see one fewer player in the space.

Ask HN: Co-founding US C-Corp from Germany
Hi,

I'm from Germany and consider founding a US C-Corp via Stripe Atlas from Germany with my co-founder being Italian living in Canada currently. I'd be CTO, he CEO.

Unfortunately all the legal stuff seems to be way more annoying than I expected.. And I expected it to be a PITA already..

From what I've learned to avoid Germany considering this a "Controlled foreign corporation" and having to pay corporate tax in both US and Germany would be creating a holding in Germany, then a subsidary of the C-Corp. And even then I couldn't have board meetings from Germany (including online)..

Similar issues might arise for my co-founder, at least if he moves back to the US (IIRC Canada has a agreement with the US around these things).

Now I'm wondering, is there a way around? What are other people in similar situations are doing? Is there any option we can wait to deal with the complex subsidary structures until we actually have some revenue and resources to pay someone to help with that?
My main problem with Huberman, and this applies to many in this genre, is that although he is faithfully describing the current research, he doesn't do much to qualify it. What I mean by that is measuring things about people is very very very difficult. Because of this, much of the research published about human subjects is not repeatable. It takes a long time to build evidence in a way that can account for the all confounding non-linear variables involved. He is stating the conclusions of the latest research as if they were proven laws of nature instead of just the research of a potentially flawed study. He's giving far more weight than they are warranted. He might know this intuitively, but the average Joe in his audience does not.

I have a strong suspicion if someone took his art, made light changes and slapped it on a T-shirt they'd probably get sued by his estate. It's arguably just as "new" but I doubt few would argue it's not plagiarism.
They actually do in many contexts. I assure you my company's lawyers want to know the source of any numbers or specific claims. And, while you may not necessarily footnote (though in books you often footnote/endnote), editors want support for various statements as well.

And, yes, if I literally copy something someone else writes or the substance of it without giving credit and they find out and complain to my company--I'm getting fired if it's blatant (as I should be).
I’d say it’s a killer app actually.

Hello, Hacker News community!

I recently created a small but enjoyable web game called 'Am I...?', inspired by a legendary YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EShUeudtaFg

Features:

Randomly generated misspellings for endless fun
A score counter that tracks your progress

I developed this game using Flask, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It's been a great learning experience, and I hope you find it entertaining as well.
It's going to be taken about as seriously as random photoshopped images were until now.
Crypto is useful. A very long time ago there was a conversation about killer use cases. People on the ethereum side of the room thought programmable chains were it. People on the Bitcoin side said it was micropayments and script based post dating.

I said that it was likely paying for compute resources that would be a killer use case. Implementing 402s would be that manifest: https://github.com/lightninglabs/aperture

Now we’re moving deep into the AI markets, this will be a thing, combining both.

That said, con artists will still try to hustle others.
Huberman is the reason I actually subscribed to Podcast Notes, just to be able to get the highlights.
'Superhuman' has many dimensions. It can be speed, it can be ability to retain a lot of information, it can be the ability to deal with a large quantity of information at once and many other dimensions besides. For the longest time Chess was considered a domain where computers could be dilettantes but could never dominate. Chess is now in 'superhuman' territory and likely we will never see a reversal because any insight that benefits humans also benefits computers but not the other way around.

The fact that this is such a multi-dimensional problem is frequently overlooked in the debate about AI/AGI etc, it may not matter all that much if the non AGI AI is already superhuman on enough dimensions other than the ones that the 'but it isn't AGI' crowd cling to. The consequences are what matters, not the fine print or the implementation details, and those consequences are directly tied to the number of dimensions along which a computer can beat humanity.

To give an example: if a chess program was 3000 Elo before but so slow that it would lose under competition rules then humans still dominated chess. Likewise if it would be only 2500 Elo but fast enough, it would still lose from the best humans. But for a large fraction of society it would have already moved out into 'superhuman' territory. And a couple of technological leaps of progress later and we're all looking at that AI as if it has moved into superhuman regions.

This sort of thing will happen on many fronts, and all of those fronts are moving, if enough of them go past the threshold then whether it is AGI or not is irrelevant and for every person that threshold is at different points. Maybe a computer will be able to calculate faster and better than you can, maybe it will be able to translate text faster and better than you, maybe it will be able to organize information faster and better than you. At which point we cross the line into saying that it can think faster and better than you is hard, but we can see that we are getting close to that line without even knowing exactly where that line is.
You don’t need to eat those specific things, there are other things to eat. Even cheaper things. Rice has always been very cheap per serving. Beans as well. Just as filling.
I've really enjoyed reading the comments in this thread, but it's such a tough one, isn't it? When does 'fair use' kick in? When has someone made something 'art'?

Richard Prince wins for literally printing big Instagram photos, Shepard Fairey has to settle for the 'Hope' poster. A whole generation of artists are making careers from reappropriating classic cartoon characters.

It's a murky line.
Need to know that the facts exist in the first place, though.
