Makes me think of the digital speed limit signs that start to flash red and blue when you hit 10 mph over the limit. Like of course every 16 year old kid ever is trying to make them flash red and blue and also me at 32.
I don't have a rigorous definition, but I don't think we need one at this point, do we? Chatgpt is a search engine with a natural language interface, you can draw a straight line from its inputs to its outputs. I'm not making a scientific claim here, just a subjective observation, but it seems self-evidently too simple to be hiding a self or awareness of some kind, there just isn't enough complexity there.
Same. He's always been a role model for my business as well, especially when I was just starting out. My business uses Sidekiq every day. It really is a great piece of software. He's also one of the reasons I think open source software can be highly profitable if people just figure out a business model that works.
For me it was taxes, covid lockdowns, violent crime, homelessness, state government fraud waste and abuse. I moved to a state with no income tax and all the other taxes are near the national average, no homeless people sleeping in front of stores it's too cold for that to be a thing, no soft targets soon even some of the teachers will be armed and so far I am quite happy with the move. To be clear I am neither left nor right but it doesn't matter. People just want freedom and to be left alone. It's not Utopia but it's good enough for me.
Domain takeover is only possible if the subdomain is user-specifiable, like with AWS S3.

As long as subdomain is random and never reused (pretty simple to do if you incorporate some sort of timestamp in the name generation algorithm) then the takeover is impossible. This is another good reason to generate random subdomain part.
I appreciate your idealism, but the unfortunate reality is that we cannot simply hope people will do the right thing and it will be so.

Now the organizers of professional photography competitions will not trust photographers, and photographers will not trust the organizers of competitions.

The entire point of this exercise was to point out exactly that organizers SHOULD NOT trust photographers. That these systems must be built without trust in mind, or the competitions are quickly going to become worthless.
How much simple analytics are considered reasonable? Simple example counting users and say what country they’re from.

Technically not required to make the site work but might count as legitimate use?
I thought the same thing. I might be good too if it allows that. But the ink cost for home printer might not be economical? I guess it's still better than buying a new printer.
CA electricity bills will be based on income
PG&E, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric customers monthly bills will include a fixed charge based on income.
This made me curious. Apparently this part of the machine was called the "compensation tube". But it's much more elegant than you've said. When you press 2 keys in quick succession, the 2nd key press is "saved" temporarily by latching a spring, so that as soon as the 1st key is done, the 2nd key is struck.

It's essentially a 1 character buffer, which is apparently sufficient to give a very fluid typing feel.

What do you mean? Processing a CNN layer takes an amount of time that does not depend on the input data, only the input/output sizes. Fourier transform is just a change of basis. Why should anything speed up?

They ruined it! Pre-acquisition Heardle played the song from the beginning immediately after you finished guessing. Post-acquisition, you had to open the song in Spotify which introduced a lag of several seconds. The immediate visceral reward of playing the game disappeared.
> But training an AI is really the same as me listening to the music

That's what we think right now. But copyright never anticipated that machines could listen to music, read books, or watch movies. The scale at which machines can consume content, and the extent to which they can remember it, might make it significantly different.
As I look at the other examples given here and reflect on my own Christian beliefs, I see a common understanding that compassion or active empathy involves action. Sympathy is nice, but it seems most folks here agree it is at the level of understanding and doesn't involve the creativity of action.

I think this is what Jesus was teaching with the "Good Samaritan" parable:

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/nt/luke...

And, I think a masculine response to sympathy/empathy has never been expressed more (worst) than in the classic movie Funny Face with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire... the scene probably doesn't play as well as it did back in 1957.

Texas Could Push Tech Platforms to Censor Posts About Abortion
Another prediction would be: maybe Western states start blocking Chinese businesses that don't comply with their laws.

After all, China already blocks the Western businesses that don't implement the spying/surveillance measures the Chinese communist party wants.

The more the Chinese communist government continues pushing a war course against Taiwan makes that even more likely, e.g. in the context of sanctions.
You can’t, because they’re just normal text posts
Excellent. Now do software. Open or closed, companies _must_ respect licensing terms in order to incorporate code in their products. They resell it without permission in most cases.
well I can tell you here in Austin TX, rich folks from California end up in either Rollingwood or West Lake Hills, and both have their own police forces that are ridiculously overprovisioned (despite the fact that both suburbs have basically zero crime to begin with)

>It's a male-heavy class and when these terms come up, they tend to laugh it off as some kind of esotherical side-quest.

It is a sort of side quest. You think the discussion is about something profound but really you're just discussing English vocabulary.

You're taking arbitrary symbols/words with arbitrarily vague meanings and trying to demarcate an exact meaning as if the words exist intrinsically in reality. They don't, all words are made up.

It's like I make up this word "mokadan" and I define it as the difference in emotion between what a dog feels for its human owner and what a human owner feels for his dog.

You see what I did there? you can talk about that mokadan for days trying to pin down whats going on with the word but it's just something that's arbitrarily made up by me. I can make up other vague concepts as well and assign it random vocab like "somofin": the shape that is exactly in between a hexagon and semicircle. And now a group of people can spend days trying draw what that shape exactly is. Sort of a pointless endeavor down what I call linguistic trap doors that disguise themselves as deep concepts.

The thing with human language is that all of it is made up. All language consists of made up words and symbols attached to arbitrary definitions. The languages are so entrenched in our brains that we often can't see the difference between actual concepts and vague vocabulary. So often We get stuck in discussing what is simply linguistic phenomena like what is the difference between "sympathy" and "empathy." Other trap doors include what is "life" or what is "sentience".

The vagueness of the word is arbitrary because humans picked to define the word vaguely. The vagueness is manufactured, it's artificial. There's no real point in trying to unroll all of it.

You commented on how you were in a male dominated class implying that there's something inherit with males being too simplistic and laughing off the discussion.

I think the opposite is true. The "males" who laughed it off are in a higher plane of meta understanding and they comprehend the pointlessness of trying to demarcate vague vocabulary. They were right to laugh it off in my opinion.

I was in a class that were mostly females and when they tried to veer off the discussion into one of these linguistic traps. I attempted to explain to them the concept of the linguistic trap they were falling for but my efforts were in vain. They were perplexed by my explanation and still didn't understand. They continued down that trap door and ended up wasting everyone's time.
Thanks. It's not a side project anymore. We've established a legal company in the US, have a small team, and commit full-time to it. Currently, we've working on the Windows & Linux version.
This comment seems confused. In English, "the Americas" isn't a continent nor are North America and South America "sub-continents"; rather, North America is a continent, South America is a continent, "the Americas" refers unambiguously to the collection of both continents, and "America" refers unambiguously to the United States of America (and "American" refers unambiguously to a US citizen). The only chauvinism occurs when speakers of other languages insist that the English language adopt their model of continents and the corresponding toponyms and demonyms (for example, many Spanish speakers use "Americano" to refer to inhabitants of the Americas, and since that word looks like "American" in English, many of these Spanish speakers believe English speakers should modify the meaning of "American" to mirror their "Americano").

Using "Europe" to refer to the EU member states in English is different because "Europe" in English traditionally refers to the entire continent and referring to the EU as "Europe" introduces ambiguity. I don't think this ambiguity is a significant problem and I wouldn't call it "chauvinism" but perhaps I could be convinced otherwise.

It will never happen. Its too politically suicidal to make money off of providing a service that gives arguments that go against the traditional narrative
"Open your mouth and don't be symmetrical" seems to be the gist of it.
A short transcript from the video:

Chopra says 'all beliefs are a cover up for insecurity'

An academic asks him "Do you believe that"?

This shows the entire premise of whatever argument he's trying to make is completely unfounded, deeply flawed and kinda stupid. That's Deepak's career in a nutshell. Nothing he says stands up to the most basic scrutiny.
Good luck blocking such a big market. Money simply speaks louder.
And that is why the world no longer has any long lasting oppressive regimes. Oh wait…
Yeah China hasn't been respecting IP for a long time and it's still well behind. We shouldn't become China just to win a race - there are rules to the game you know? If everyone's content is stolen and resold by an AI then why would anyone want to create content?
We have a little pocket of the universe. For a good chunk of it, have fun singing in the vacuum.
Heardle was one of the games that we really enjoyed quite a bit, but definitely needed some sort of variation to the game itself other than 'first x seconds'

Usually we would get the answer in a single try, because it happened to be a song we knew by heart, or we wouldn't get it at all because we didn't know the artist/it was just not in a genre to which we regularly listen/the song was an obscure hit or one hit wonder before our time

Perhaps it would have been better as 'guess the artist' and give you 5 second clips from decreasingly obscure songs
Where did you buy this scale? Seriously, this sounds like the evil bit
The first dinner was all 1st degree friends. Then it turned into friends of friends of friends. The 4th or 5th dinner was a big turning point. We had a minimum of 55 to hit for a popular restaurant we wanted and we were trending short (we actually would have ended up hitting it) and for the first time opened the dinner up to people who weren't directly connected. We posted an invite in a popular Long Island food Facebook group and after that we never had a problem selling out a dinner again. Last month Newsday wrote an article about us which added hundreds of Instagram followers and close to 100 new applications for membership. We sold out 48 seats for our April dinner in under and hour and ended up working with the restaurant to add a second night.

Funny, they seem to be more proactive about putting laws around it there already (1), and that hasn't stopped progress at all, while protecting the vested interests they care about.

If only our law makers were so capable of a) understanding whats going on and b) actually passing laws when it mattered.

Haha, I bought the domain debatelord.com to build something similar, but never started development! This is awesome. Will check this out.
I work at Aptible, another PaaS that follows the same host pattern you describe for providing one-off addresses when someone doesn't want to bring their own domain. The reasons you stated are both valid, along with the fact that a single domain means we don't need to _register_ new domains for every customer app.

Another note: we use `on-aptible.com` for our hosted app domains, separate from `aptible.com` for an important security reason: it is a second line of defense in avoiding cookie/CORS attacks (the first line of defense being setting cookies we control in a single subdomain and avoiding wildcards for CORS).

A related important measure for a PaaS using a single domain for subdomains owned by different accounts is to register that domain on the Public Suffix List [0], which prevents "supercookies" being set across these separately-owned subdomains.

I'm also from the future (2028 to be precise), and enforcing copyright on AI-generated content has become near-impossible. It's working about as well as DRM has in stopping video and music piracy. There's now BitTorrent-like software for AI, which allows groups of individuals to train and run their own AI on whatever they please, and they seem to have little regard for copyright. In fact, underground music from these creators is taking off, and despite the law requiring all AI-assisted songs to cite their influences for royalty payments, they're simply refusing to comply. The music is so good that the public has no appetite for prosecuting the individuals making it. In fact, most people are using these AIs to create their own custom music stations. The old guard is stomping its gold-encrusted shoes in anger, but the youth just don't care.

There's a cool song called 'Neural Harmony.' The creators used a mixture of classical and electronic music as input, but they never disclosed the specific songs they were influenced by. This has made it impossible for the original artists to claim royalties, and yet the public can't get enough of its sick beatz.

There's even an AI-generated album called 'Digital Renaissance.' The creators claim to have used thousands of songs from various genres as inspiration, but they never provided a list of the songs or artists. The album has gained a massive following and has even been featured in several popular playlists. There was briefly an attempt to prosecute them but the case was dropped after public outcry.
Agree! Also Göbekli Tepe overlaps with saber tooth tigers extinction (10kya).
Eventually you will need to show sources and I’m sure we’ll have ways to extract sources from the models. ma these things are not magic after all.
Is there some rule on HN that if a member of HN holds the subjective belief (which is what it is technically, though beliefs often appear as facts/knowledge to the one who holds them, complicating matters substantially) that someone "is" "a charlatan on par with some edgy teenager running his own blog but professing to be the equivalent of a respected doctor or scientist", any content from that person doesn't belong on the site?
To be fair, some of that might be based on extrapolation, eg people thinking "If GPT 3.5 / GPT 4 can do this today, what will GPT 17 be able to do in 10 years?" and that kind of thing. And that's an interesting question to think about, IMO.
You'll often trip security/abuse systems since the traffic looks (and in many cases - is) the same as abusive traffic. If you go and trip those unannounced then there is usually even less sympathy to exclude you than if you ask if they can be bothered to exclude you before you go and start scanning.
If you think so, then you may not be suited for scientific work. It's pedantry for pedantry's sake, by design.

I get that they need to try to do this.

However, it seems they learned nothing from the Napster/mp3 era.

The genie is out of the bottle. Movie industry will follow suit to try and prevent script writing in "the style of <insert director here>"
The problem is that the people with power set up what data gets used in a credit score - and the people with power are the white homeowners who want HOAs to control their neighbors. When you ask "what are the qualities we would want..." you miss that the definition of "we" is why discrimination exists.
Nope. People with the impulse to create will do it regardless. Sellouts without intrinsic motivation to create who are just looking to make money by creating products instead of real art? I won't mourn their disappearance at all.
> Its going to happen and AI is going to learn lyrics and how to create music, its inevitable.

Why is everyone in AI so open to stealing people's work and why do y'all think "ai" is something with a mind of its own that just runs about and does things? It's a software product and the companies owning it must play by the rules. Period.
What's most shocking about this site is that they added a mobile layout in 2022. Before it was desktop-only.
I absolutely love articles like this that humanize the creation of such a megalithic thing. It was just someone who was curious enough to tinker for a while on a project who was hanging out with friends. I love it.

I think it would be hard to overstate the impact of Linux and free software. I do climate science research and its pretty obvious that every single paper that contains an important finding was built on FOSS. Latex, Linux, python, all the gnu tools, and so much more. Imagine being a researcher who needed to write any of that, or pay for all of that, in order to work. It's incredible. Thanks to everyone who codes, builds, or contributes to such projects.

Also, it's laughable how little that is recognized in the science community.
But it won't matter. If an integrated economy can be more efficient by copying each other internally, then it will eventually be more competitive at business worldwide, despite trade levies aimed against it.
Never heard of it. Thought it sounded fun. Went to play it.

I had to skip without guessing to the end and then see today’s answer. I never heard that song in my life, nor ever heard of the artist. Connecting Heardle to my Spotify profile would make a more fun game.
Copyright law already has a section on derivative works. No new laws are needed.
Ai generated pic was a good touch. I expected the length to be longer and adjustable. But is that from the API limitation?

Platformatic v0.20.0 – The NodeCongress Release
It's not so much a rejection of concept, I just find that it does nothing for me emotionally or intellectually.

I had a scroll through the Twitter profile, and whilst at least unusual in terms of content, I close the app and remember none of it. None of it is bold enough to be memorable compositionally for me. It's competent, sure, it's just unremarkable and lacks humanity. Does that mean it's "bad"? It's just not for me, in the same way I don't care for tuna even though I acknowledge that plenty of people enjoy eating tuna.

This is not a large company or a fully established business. The value could be derived from both, or only from one side.
