I mean, this is how we routinely built client-server apps 20-30 years back. Everything old is new again!

One of the big reasons so many moved away from this approach was security. Giving end users direct access to the database (even if "obscured"), gives me the shivers!
Why not just eliminate the middle man and call it simulated intelligence? That at least implies that there are different levels of fidelity as quantified by number of parameters and training data set size.

Because Russia and China's occasional hyperbolic rhetoric notwithstanding, one gets the sense that behind the posturing, the people with their hands on the nuclear machinery are cold-eyed professionals. North Korea doesn't appear to have a layered command structure - it just has a succession of paranoid, isolated, all-powerful individuals, and almost directly underneath them, terrified administrators who feel that if they put a foot wrong they'll be disappeared. On the nuclear stage that's a terrifying dynamic. The US plays games, same for Russia and China - in a sense they're all veterans and they've been opponents on the same pitch for forever. Pakistan and India are going to be involved in their own private drama (from a global perspective) for the foreseeable future. I agree that Israel/Iran has disturbing potential, but North Korea? They're the damaged kid who had a .22 two decades ago, then got a 9mm, and now is about to take delivery of a Kalashnikov - that's why it's different.

It was not a Swastica, it was a blending of a Swastica and a Star of David, accompanied with a "can't we just all have love for one another" message. You may disagree with that, but it's disingenuous to misrepresent the facts to buttress your argument against him.

Any decent argument ought to be able to be presented without the use of lies and deceit.
Smoking wasn't banned. It went away through awareness campaigns, higher taxes and banning it in restaurants. Things like that. Smokers didn't go to jail for smoking. Selling cigarettes wasn't banned.

Bitcoin's value proposition: screwup postmortem
"The alternative is to start your own business."

Or, you know, for employees to push back on a policy that's bad for a majority of employees rather than "look at me, I'm a rugged individual who can start my own business."

It may not be personal but these forcing people to commute to work on a virtual reality platform where they don't actually believe in remote work / virtual reality is stupid.

Seems to me if I was leading a "Metaverse" type project I'd be wanting my developers in that environment and making it good enough for "in person" collaboration so it will succeed for everyone.

(I am not a big believer in Meta or its vision for this but if someone could develop a viable platform that made remote collaboration feel more like in-person collaboration it'd be very exciting.)

It does this by using two powerful framework: Playwright and FastAPI. Playwright is a web automation tool that can navigate websites, click buttons, and scrape data from web pages. FastAPI is a web framework that allows for the creation of APIs in Python, which is the language used in this project.

Ah my bad I didn't realize they stuck to one and not the other, I'd assumed Parler had prettymuch eaten Gab.

edit: I'm rate-limited so can't reply. Grandparent poster had said that now that Musk owns Twitter, there's no longer a reason for Parler to exist. I was meaning to point out that, even in Musk's era of lax moderation and resurrecting the most extremist accounts, they still got banned from Twitter very quickly.

However, my assumption was that since, of the zillions of right-wing Twitter clones (parler, gab, gettr, truthsocial, etc) most had been out of the news other than Parler, than the extremists had flocked to Parler. If Parler booted them as well and they stuck on Gab, that's my mistake.

What activity constitutes abuse is at the discretion of the provider. If it looks like abuse to them, then it is.

> The lift dream seems to be a common recurring dream

Sure, I've had falling dreams before as most everyone has - for me those are usually lacking in context, I'm just falling - often I find those transform into flying dreams. This one was quite unique in that I was in an elevator in a very tall building (I live in suburbia, I'm very rarely in high rise buildings, maybe once every 5 years). Also the physics seemed correct: elevator starts free falling, I push off the floor and appear to float in relation to the elevator, elevator crashes and I hit the floor. This is one of the things that really struck me about the dream when I woke from it - that the physics were correct.
For good reason. Prions are no joke

Right, anyone can hunt pigs for their own consumption or give the meat away to friends for free. But it generally can't be sold commercially because the process doesn't comply with food safety rules.

I disagree. I think that nobody knows what it is, as demonstrated by the fact that there is such a wide disagreement about what it is.

> We can also agree that being successful at certain tasks constitutes intelligence. Solving a math problem is intelligence. Writing a poem is intelligence.

As an example, I don't agree that either of those things indicates intelligence all by themselves. We've had programs that nobody would call "intelligent" to do both of those things for decades.

> Machine learning for a chat bot is not a person "learning". It's software.

I am not saying that it is exactly the same.

Instead, I am saying that if a human can profit from other people's work, by learning from it, then there are clearly exceptions to this idea that using other people's work, for any reason at all, is "stealing".

It is perfectly legal to use other people's work, for all sort of things. Its not stealing, in many situations.

This hard rule that you have made up, is clearly not the situation, and using your hard rule, where you just call all of it "stealing" would similarly apply to all sorts of other, completely allowed behavior that nobody thinks is "stealing".

> but humans also pay to learn

Nobody is going to successfully be able to sue you, because you downloaded their publicly accessible work, and learn from it, actually.

If you release your creative works, for people to consume, and people consume it, then they are similarly allowed to learn from it.
The AI maximalists think we're on a exponential curve to the singularity and potential AI disaster or even eternal dominance by a AI dictator [Musk].

Show HN: WikiBinge – discover how all things are vaguely connected
Connect two articles on Wikipedia, but do it the long way. I've always been a fan of the theory of six degree of separation, but it's an overused concept when exploring the Wiki-graph.

Instead of showing the shortest path, which in my opinion is "boring" and ends up connecting super-important central articles, I came up with my own method: WikiBinge selects the smaller, less represented articles on Wikipedia. In a WikiBinge path, the underdogs are the kings!

How does it work? It's pretty straightforward! Compute PageRank on the Wiki-graph and assign as weight of each edge the PageRank value of the destination node. A WikiBinge path is then simply a shortest path using these weights: the algorithm will then favor paths passing through articles with lower PageRank values.

More on the motives to build this here: https://www.jamez.it/project/wikibinge/

This is an older project of mine, but it never got much exposure, so I'm humbly submitting it now.
