That would assume GDP is a measure of resources and production capacity as opposed to just vaguely correlated. It would also assume there is no way to reduce unnecessary production costs, like profits.

It’s entirely possible to start from today’s resources and build production far more efficiently if we produce rationally for use.

I had a similar reaction to Lyft’s “you have 2 minutes to accept this faster trip” prompt and emphasizing the faster, more expensive option first.

I saw that, balked a bit at the interaction and ended up taking a train instead. Not only was it $6.25 instead of $46 it got me there faster than Lyft’s fastest option. Including time walking to and from the station.

I wasn’t in a hurry but the in your face “look how much money people are willing to spend to save 5 min” helped me rethink my priorities.
I think that having energy be more affordable for people who are less well off makes sense. What this article seems to suggest is making electricity unmetered and cost a fixed amount based on your income. This completely discourages people to be economical about saving energy. Rich people already tend to use their heating and AC more than poorer people. We should not incentivize people to be inefficient. Adjusting a unit price would be reasonable, but people should be charged just that — a unit price.
They do this even with an unlimited plan.

Though on second thought, I wonder if Chevrolet ditching CarPlay in the Blazer necessarily means that the Prologue won't have it. I don't know if they're borrowing the car software and aren't in a position to add that type of feature, but it's also possible someone at Honda wrote CarPlay into their software requirements and GM is still stuck implementing it.

Bigger car than I want though. It's too bad Honda didn't decide to make an Equinox clone instead, the Prologue is 100% better looking than the Blazer.
> That's because you can't find an artist for a generated picture other than the ones in the training set. If you can't find a new artist, then the picture belongs to the old ones, so to speak.

It doesn't belong to the "old ones", it is at best a derivative work. And even writing a prompt, as trivial as it might seem, makes you an artist. There are modern artists exposing a random shit as art, and you may or may not like it, but they are legally artists, and it is their work.

The question is about fair use. That is, are you allowed to use pictures in the dataset without permission. It is a tricky question. On one extreme, you won't be able to do anything withing infringing some kind of copyright. Used the same color as I did? I will sue you. On the other extreme, you essentially abolish intellectual property. Copying another artist style in your own work is usually fair use, and that's essentially what generative AI do, so I guess that's how it will go, but it will most likely depends on how judges and legislators see the thing, and different countries probably will have different ideas.
I think it's underrated since people generally rate it so poorly to begin with. His time in office is considered to be almost a waste since there was so much corruption by those who gained his trust and got into positions of power. Really, Sect of State Hamilton Fish was just about Grant's only good judge of character when building his administration.

Even though surrounded by corruption, he achieved important success by using his platform as by far America's most famous living person to push the country forward significantly on unpopular civil rights issues. To this end he developed as a public speaker and self-publicist while in office (as a poor judge of character he couldn't really rely on those around him).

That's exactly my problem.

Yes, it's better. Bet better isn't good enough.

When I'm building secure software, I want to know that a known exploit has been fully mitigated.

None of the software I ship is vulnerable to SQL injections, or XSS attacks, or CSRF - because I understand those vulnerabilities, and take reliable measures against them.

If someone finds an exploit, I can fix it.

With LLMs and prompt injection I don't get that confidence. If someone finds an exploit I can try and patch it with yet more pleading in my prompt, but I'm forever just guessing at what the fixes are. I can never be certain that a new exploit isn't one more layer of cunning natural-language prompting away.

That's a horrible way to build software.

The point is, yes there is, and that it doesn't matter if the document would fail in a court challenge, it's still the document they wrote and the terms they obviously want and think are reasonable, and so it is only reasonable to assume they will try to defend them.

If you want to flout them and get them to sue you so that you can force it to be challenenged in court and hopefully you win and open the door for everyone else, I'm sure they would all appreciate it.

But even aside from whether it would hold up in court or not, it's already a problem that they even tried to claim such things. They should absolutely be criticized for that.

It is not only impeccably fair to criticize them for that document, but there is no more perfectly fair and unassailable way to do it than by simply taking it at it's word and adhering to what it says.

No matter how you try to slice it, it's just not even slightly unreasonable to simply do what the Rust Foundation commanded everyone to do.

Any practical consequences?
Different sodium based battery technologies have existed for quite a while (much longer than lithium based batteries actually), and research as well. And there were already a couple niches where some of them managed to establish some foothold, e.g. in the domain of high-temperature batteries.

But most sodium based battery types either had a too low energy density to be competitive or they had other drawbacks that - while sometimes controllable in lab or industrial conditions, made them unsuitable for common mainstream mass uses where lithium batteries are established.

Only quite recently have we reached a point where new Na battery types emerged that simultaneously 1. do not suffer of such problems, 2. have a sufficient energy density AND 3. have made it to a commercially viable alternative to the common Lithium-ion-batteries for mainstream uses. Let's hope this time is the right time for the Na battery revolution. We'll see.

> “We’re not talking about mental health,” Sanabria clarifies. “That’s a different subject.”

This quote was the explanation from the article for why they dismissed physical exercise as a valid way of improving one's cognitive performance. Because it only directly improves mental health and not your cognitive performance.

That is a rather strange take. Sure, yeah, if we remove the one thing (mental health) that arguably nets the most improvement to your own life that affects every single area of it, including how others perceive you, then yeah, sure, we can dismiss exercise. Not sure why one would want to do that though, since their "that's a different subject" take doesn't sound that convincing, unless they want to argue that being mentally healthy doesn't contribute to cognitive performance (which imo would contribute to being more successful in a professional environment).

Par for the course for HN really; Workers are just resources to use up, and if they don't want to be exploited, they should just stop being exploited and go find themselves a nice high-paying job and be happy.

HN due to its demographics has a huge disconnect with the plight of the average person.
Yeah, my question was not that he got the clearance (presumably his MOS required it, whether full-time active or not), but why he was going into a facility and getting these documents when his unit was not called into active federal duty. There wouldn't have been any need to know so he shouldn't have had access since you need both a clearance and need to know.

The Japanese aesthetic known as wabi-sabi is all about accepting transience and imperfection. Have you ever thought about the ephemeral nature of art installations from that point of view?

I recently spent a day killing time by walking around Stanford medical center. There is a rather grand atrium, circular and several stories high, with most of the center taken up by an abstract art installation. All the walls are a combination of rough and polished stone. Hundreds of tech companies' and individuals names are etched into the walls. While all very impressive, the permanent opulence of it all evoked a similarly negative emotion in me.
I read the PopSci article on this way back when and always wondered what became if it, thanks!
Since I joined in on this thread, my "glove treatment" might be romanticizing it, but "helping out" in a quiet hotel/guest house in the mountains is surely a lot more kid-compatible than a coalmine. The top commenter's comment that the article glossed over the fact that kids were made to work in such a place feels overblown. Hey maybe the reality of this hotel work is a bit harsher, but since the reporter didn't shine a light on it, I'd assume she also judged the same way.

If the article was about a coal mine and the NYT just glossed over the fact of child labor, then I would agree with such a comment; an article glossing over child labor in a coal mine would be shitty.

Edit to add: I like your angle about "It must be an anti-EV brigade!" though, keep on investigating, you're on to a conspiracy! /s

Just curious - I used Expedia recently to book a hotel/car package for a much better rate than I was able to get anywhere else, and it all worked out. I did feel like I was put in a pretty unimpressive room though. Not sure if the hotel was just a bit less nice than I expected or if the hotel figured “let’s put the cheapo from Expedia in the shabbiest room”.

You will notice that much of the de-facto mission of government for the past ~50 years has been to replace a given institutional function, for which there is a clear and attainable path to effective implementation for the good of the public, with a private middleman who may or may not be friends with/former colleagues of/funding the election campaign of an interested politician or bureaucrat (or to prevent the reversion thereof). You may argue that this is somehow more cost-effective or efficient, but it's happening all the same. So much energy is invested in the great battles involved in this mission that we have no time or funding to address the new and pressing dilemmas which as-of-yet have no solutions, public or private.
Yep. Middle class people don't really get all the ways that being poor is a detriment. You often don't have credit, and you may not have a bank account, so you get paid in cash, or at the last minute by check, forcing you to use a check cashing store, which will rape you on unnecessary fees, siphoning any cash you might have saved, keeping you poor.
> if you're not going to put in the time and effort, why do you deserve to create such high equality imagery?

This isn’t high quality imagery. Don’t get me wrong, the tech is cool and I love the work that’s went into making this picture. But this isn’t something I would ever hang on my wall. There’s probably a market for it, but I get the strong impression it’s the “live, laugh, love” market. The people that buy pictures for their wall in the supermarket. The kind of people who pay individual artists money to paint bespoke images of their pet are not going to frame AI art. I don’t think the artists need to worry.
Roughing It is my favorite Twain work but it needs to be read cautiously with respect to its veracity. Twain had a tendency to both embellish and out-right make up the events detailed in the book. That said, its a very enjoyable book and it gives a good look at the style of the author-to-be.

The Inner Game of Entrepreneurship: The Internal Battle of Startups
Building a startup is not about external success. It's about building something that satisfies your inner drive, something that aligns with your values and your vision for the future.

With chasing dreams comes a certain pressure to measure up, to achieve the same level of success as those who came before. Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're in a race against time, chasing a goal that's always just out of reach.

Ultimately, creating value is a deeply personal journey that requires trust in your instincts and a willingness to embrace the journey.
> incentivizes

Incentivize is such an interesting word in these conversations. This word has two sides. One side is the word you would use usually with children. You want to “incentivize” them to do their homework? Add a reward. In this case the incentive isn’t that you’re rewarded for hard work. It’s that if you fuck up, and Fuck yo real bad, you can end up homeless, in debt and Ina poverty hole so deep you might never climb out of.
"The model training likely results in near replicas of some of the training data encoded in the model."

I don't think that's true.

My understanding is that any image generated by Stable Diffusion has been influenced by every single parameter of the model - so literally EVERY image in the training data has an impact on the final image.

How much of an impact is the thing that's influenced by the prompt.

One way to think about it: the Stable Diffusion model can be as small as 1.9GB (Web Stable Diffusion). It's trained on 2.3 billion images. That works out as 6.6 bits of data per image in the training set.

>I think the problem is back then, American society was more open, accepting of differences on a larger scale, free to experiment, less segregated on class and generally "nicer" in a genuine and not superficial way.

Was it? From what I remember it was more racist, more homophobic, more segregated, and most of the "niceness" was sarcasm and cruelty, particularly towards any marginalized group. I don't remember the "make things better for everyone" American society you do at all, nor do I see the internet as a whole being a game of "rich-get richer and cutthroat exclusionism." Certainly that's a part of VC and startup culture, but that doesn't define the whole. I see far more activism, inclusiveness, creativity, openness and sincerity on the internet now than I did back in the 90s. I guess we just grew up in different circles.

the TLDR seems to be that much of the improvement for GPT-4 on more complex benchmarks that GPT3 previously struggled with is due to either straight up consuming the answers to benchmarks and pattern matching them or having RLFH give the LLM the answer.

"Creating a derivative work of a copyrighted image requires permission from the copyright holder"

That's why "fair use" is the key concept here. Under US copyright law "fair use" does not require a license. The argument is that AI generated imagery qualifies as "fair use" - that's what's about to be tested in the courts.

It’s weird as I remember banks dropping immediately when rates dropped and I’m still sitting on rates of 0.01% and whatnot. I’m not sure why it is as there must be some calculus that banks are doing to keep rates low. My credit union also hasn’t raised their rates either even though the fed went from 0 to 4%.

It’s even surprising for previously “high yield” that dropped their rates when rates went down and didn’t raise them. I had an ING account from years ago that is at 1%. They offer a “high yield” version but require me to close my account and reopen it to get the new rate.

I think they just figure enough people won’t care and are better off hosing the majority of customers.

In the U.S., customer service agents sometimes give a rentention offer when you ask to close a credit card account, especially if it has an annual fee. They may waive or reduce the annual fee if you agree to keep the account open, or give a statement credit or some other reward if you spend a certain amount of money on the card. These offers are more common when you spend more money on the card.
