To anyone who hasn't I highly encourage setting up PiHole. Great for reducing the severity of these sorts of things, and helps to sanitize and clean up your internet.

Don't need to buy a Pi either, it can run on a laptop or desktop just fine.

It's great for catching anything that can't be by an in-browser adblocker, like in the OS or on other devices.

The field of ML alignment isn't just for building "safe" models, it is also to ensure that the model does what you want. HN seems to have this bias where the right wing is considered to be intellectually inferior and incapable of innovation just because they don't share the same ideological views.

> a burden-free life where I might be a little unlucky and die

Unlucky is being the victim of a random crime that leaves you crippled for life, not a clean death. I follow someone on social media like that, who was shot and left a paraplegic in a high-crime city.

Parts of Baltimore are objectively dangerous and it's not being dramatic to acknowledge that or want to avoid it. At some point it had a higher murder rate than the most murderous countries in the world, like El Salvador or Honduras; coincidentally, people from those countries are seeking a better life in the US, and I don't suppose you would say they should stay and have a burden-free life there?
It has nothing to do with "car centric" zoning or bans on density. It's poor zoning policies that split sections by use case. Walk through a more "residential" are in Vienna and there are still commercial/restaurants throughout the neighborhood. Do the same in Chicago and besides a few strips of the neighborhood you won't find anything besides residential. The problem is zoning in American cities tend to be more segmented into different sections by use case which creates a different atmosphere.

It should be possible if we gain access to "almost infinite" energy right? It would be absurd to assume it but if we really get fusion energy going and then if we get serious cost reductions in space based solar.

Sure it's all (hard) science fiction but I feel like we're giving up on realistic near term solutions anyway.
Whether or not the regulation is outdated, it is the law of the land in the US at the moment and is relevant to enforcement actions by the SEC. This definition of security will determine Coinbase's success or failure in court.
I agree that it's not okay to rob the wealthy simply because they are wealthy.

But this case is more nuanced. A compelling argument can be made against the very idea of robbery of IP. I think the vast majority of "intellectual property" should not, in fact, be anyone's property, and therefore no one can be robbed of it.

Who is harmed and who benefits in the situation where Drake has a lock and key on his IP?

Consumers are harmed --- they clearly enjoy new Drake music regardless of whether or not it was written and sung by Drake, but this is not allowed.

The "AI artist" is harmed --- they could have created something valuable in the world, but this is not allowed.

Drake artificially benefits from a regulatory monopoly. Everyone is strictly worse off because of arbitrary, draconian rules.

A much better example is drug patents. Literally millions of lives could be saved --- and at a lower cost --- if patents didn't exist. Patents and intellectual property are just state-sanctioned monopolies where everyone is harmed and coerced to pay rent to some random asshole.
This is exactly what the tag alias system of AO3—as discussed on this page—is designed to mitigate. If you've spent any amount of time on that website, you'll realize their tag system works really, really well.
One way to overcome this is to calculate the percentage change of a stock compared to the percentage change of the median performing stock in the market. 50% will be perform better than the median stock while 50% will perform worse.
You’ve Got AI: Creative Conundrums from AOL to AGI, Dial-Up to Deep Learning
The best way is, in my experience, let the users tag away. Then add the tags to the item descriptions in the full text search (while also holding on to the normalized data, because refactoring tags is a thing). If your FTS system allows the definition of synonyms, even better. Users get the usual autocomplete, and suggested tags. Searchers get approximation.

I never implemented this before but the tags can also hold references to the tags they are most frequently tagged with to further add content to the depleted search results. Never thought how the implementation would look like though.
Not quite - the voices afiak are pure AI with the tuning, pitch, etc done in post. Essentially treating the vocal signature of someone as if it was an instrument. And pretty much everyone knew the beat and lyrics weren't AI generated, at least from what I've seen. This is going viral after there was a viral trend of people replacing songs with Kanye West AI, so people knew what was happening.

The impressive part is that the voices could be very convincing. That's what made it shareable.
I second your notion that being athletic is not a requirement: the actually fit I’ve met are all extremely calm, accepting and disciplined. In the right gym/club/group, it’s an extremely rewarding experience for any body type and fitness goal. Be aware that distance based cardio groups (running, biking) will often require fitness that is above average but there are exceptions (look up a parkrun near you).
Bill Atkinson, one of the key people in both the Lisa and the Macintosh, starred in this video so it's valuable despite covering such a well-trodden topic.
Also for many office buildings, the lease span (the distance from the core of the building to the exterior) is much longer than that of a residential building. This means that your ratio of window to floor area is smaller than you'd want for a residence--you either have very long, narrow, awkward bedrooms, or a lot of unused space toward the interior of the building. You can't have a bedroom without a window.

There have been some efforts in NYC to explore allowing "bedrooms" that don't have windows, probably because there's interest in making use of some of these spaces in this fashion.
There was before 2022. Not anymore.
The only reason I use Windows in 2023 is for video gaming. Every other non-gaming PC I own is running Linux.

Windows has become inferior to Linux in every other way. More upgrade headaches, worse resource utilization, worse desktop environment, more crashes, data collection, and now embedded ads.

These technology companies have really demonstrated over the past few decades that they are unable to maintain reliable products over the long term. Every piece of good software (and even hardware in many cases) degrades almost immediately into an inferior product due to laziness and greed.

These companies would rather destroy their flagship products chasing the smallest prospect of extra revenue, than leave what works alone and innovate on something new.
Bitcoin was originally meant to be used as a currency. Ethereum was meant to be the oil that powered the smart contract network. I guess the question is, what matters more: the intent by the creators or what the end users choose to do with it?

I don't think that if you were to make an exchange that made it easy to trade physical gold (rather than deriviatives) the SEC would suddenly determine that gold was a security.
> We Seek Solutions Within the Family Unit — Not Outside of It

I think one problem is that in the recent 50-100 years (at least in the "west") we messed up what family means.

In the past it was a non small support group, consisting of old and young people, people you are related to _and people you are not related to_ but which where "like family" for you and other family members.

But today the picture of family (as a support net) is often parents + children, maybe grant parent/grant children if they exist and that's it. I have seen enough situations where even the long term spouse of a child wasn't seen anymore as part of the family.

To make matters worse the internet is fully of people trying to spread hate and division, telling you to not accept at all anyone doing anything you don't agree with. But family isn't about accepting or finding it good what they do it's about being there to help them if they really need help, and in turn them being also there for you if needed.

> probably never will because its a conservation of energy problem

But we have this gravitationally contained fusion reactor in the neighbourhood literally radiating energy at us. (I'm talking about the sun, if it is not clear.)

That is the thing which powered the previous capture. How would it be impossible to do it again? (I'm not talking about "practical" or "fast" those are questions after we established that it is possible, which it seems we disagree on.)

Every time Microsoft does something (e.g. WSL2) that makes me think "maybe using Windows wouldn't be so bad" they counter with something that really puts me off (e.g. Ads in Windows, constantly trying to shove their browser down my throat, etc.).
I guess my explanation was lacking then, as that wouldn't help. reducing the weight below the old nodes might work, but it would also extend the duration you're overloaded, which would also cause requests to fail.

Absolutely. Not fun to watch but cruical to keeping the whole thing going. Quick Google[0] says the average time (in-universe) between TOS episodes (ignoring the pilot and movies) is around 10 days.

Sure, knock yourself out if that's your thing. But what I meant was basically "power user" level devices, like what systemd-cryptenroll lists. So fido2, pkcs11 (smartcards and tokens) and tpm2. If you want to bury any of them in the woods, I guess you can.

Not all use cases need GPT-4 level performance. I'd argue that even LLaMA-7B is quite limited. Also, new and improved models are being released all the time.

The podcast Switched on Pop had a fascinating episode[1] last year called 'Invasion of the Vibe Snatchers.' They cite a number of instances where people are assigned songwriting credits on tracks simply because the new song is heavily inspired by an existing song or body of work. To be clear, the new songs are not covers, they don't contain any samples and there's no concrete element of the song that you can point to as being copied. However, taken as a whole, it's clear that the new song is similar to the old one.

I bring this up, because it seems to me that if we live in a legal environment where a song's "vibe" is now de facto copyrightable, there is no way anyone will get away with cloning someone's voice (outside of parody.)

just wait until the music industry elites start to recognize this...

This was predicted (as so many other things have) in anime...

Recall JEM? the soft-core-USA-version of anime?

but so many things have been predicted/projected through anime (art)... the cyberpunk future of holographic AI media pieces has been a long trope in anime...

at some point, youth will not care if its AI (EDM? YO!) and will just accept deepfake AI generated content along with AI generated sexually apealing rockstars...

What was not predicted in anime, but will become a reality is the personalization of the 'messenger' where we listen to the same song, but mine is personalized to me, and you, yours. so if, say, female, the song may be talored to being delivered to you differently than to male... however, that doesnt mean the delivery is based on gender... there will be subtle differences in timbre tone and rythm based on you....
Apple’s products aren’t perfect at this either, but they’re at least much easier to control. You basically just have to disable notification permission for TV. News is spammy also, but not strictly advertising Apple’s junk, it’s just regular attention spam.

Meanwhile in the App Store guidelines:

> 4.5.4 Push Notifications must not be required for the app to function, and should not be used to send sensitive personal or confidential information. Push Notifications should not be used for promotions or direct marketing purposes unless customers have explicitly opted in to receive them via consent language displayed in your app’s UI, and you provide a method in your app for a user to opt out from receiving such messages. Abuse of these services may result in revocation of your privileges.

Not a great look, and it tells you that Apple is willing to compromise on their principles to make a buck. Here’s hoping your privacy isn’t worth selling out too.

Windows is cramming their tabloid-news-by-MSN into the operating system in multiple places and making it a lot harder to get rid of, so for now macOS is still the better of the two. But I‘m not happy with either of them.
Is the relationship pretty much ICOs or tokens are a security and older options are like gold?

ie: BTC, LTC, Monero are gold but an ERC20 token is a security and Cardano is a security because it was an ICO? I don't know off hand if Ethereum was an ICO.

I keep thinking this but I can't remember seeing anyone suggest that each coin could be categorized differently. Is it possible we ended up splitting the crypto currency market into multiple groups?
I see, that wasn't how I interpreted what you originally wrote but yes, fewer people with degrees but seemingly better outcome.
How do we prove humanity?
It depends on a machine and a store. At least in Poland, I’ve seen a bunch of terrible ones, but most of them are pretty decent.

In my local Leroy Merlin, there are 10 machines, all of them busy during rush hours, and just one person staffing them. Plus a security guard that would be there anyway. Similar in large Carrefours.
With smaller grocery stores the self checkouts added an extra place for self checkout, with keeping staff unchanged.
Rossman (european cvs/wallgreens) regularly has fully unstaffed self checkouts. The guard was always there usually by the door anyway.

On top of that we have Żabka Nano - a fully automated store. I haven’t been there yet, but from what my friends told me, it sometimes is fully unstaffed (unlike it’s Amazon counterpart which seemed to have more staff than traditional stores of similar size).

Then with Uniqlo UK that I visited it was pure magic - rfid on clothes, you just put a bag in a checkout area, tap your card and you’re ready to go. There is still one or two people of staff, but before they would need 5-10 to handle the same amount of traffic.

The main issue with self-checkout in supermarkets seems to be products that can’t have barcodes - bread, buns, etc. Better vision AI that we’ve seen recently should handle that case soon.

- before me boycotting Leroy Merlin - they moved out of Ukraine, but stayed in Russia after the war began
The only reason I have friends as a mid 30's is because of mountain biking. At least where I am, the advocacy groups schedule lots of group activities - rides for all skill levels, trail building days, bi-annual meetups. And folks you meet when riding are usually friendly - I've met several riding buddies throughout the years just due to being on the same trails at the same time.

Complaining about regulation 101 is that rules are "unjustified" if the regulator has foresight, or "inconsistent" if they're reactive.
It's definitely far better than when it was free but not GPT4 yet for most people.

I want to add that in cities, social cycling is a real thing too, and a fantastic way to meet people and have fun. Many US cities have some combination of Critical Mass, bike party, queer bike rides, weekly evening social rides.

I am not upgrading from Windows 10. These newer releases are turning the OS into an ad-serving platform, which is unfortunate because the user is essentially paying for the OS. Microsoft is trying to have its cake and eat it too.

Before that was the case, sales tax only was to be collected if the company had a presence in that state. This was earlier in Amazon's history where they didn't have a warehouse everywhere and so many cases online sellers didn't collect sales tax.

In the event that you buy something from somewhere else and no sales tax is collected, a "use tax" is to be collected... and most people weren't reporting this. For example https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/FAQS/ise-usetax.aspx

This hits states that have sales tax but no income tax hardest (Washington and Texas being the two that come to mind most readily).

This changed in 2018 with South Dakota vs Wayfair - https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/17-494_j4el.pdf

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota_v._Wayfair,_Inc.

Amazon was initially opposed to this previously but as they grew it became apparent that they would have a presence in each state and so were for it... as it adds costs to all the small companies to also properly collect sales tax for wherever they sell.

From the Wiki article:

> A year from the decision, nearly all states that collected sales tax had modified their laws to include interstate commerce taxes; however, in many of these states, the updated laws did not include any threshold limits on when such taxes can be collected. Small to medium businesses may find the cost of auditing their sales for each state to far outweigh the amount of tax actually owed and forgo the process; and similarly, states looking to collect these taxes may find the cost of prosecuting against the smaller business to outweigh the benefit. It is expected that a raft of lawsuits related to these new tax laws from South Dakota will occur from 2019 through 2023.
Forget software for a moment, this is just about full stack devs being called r&d workers (which is questionable), but we were apparently already treating r&d for other sectors this way, and that seems just as bad. This is anticompetitive policy. Policy like this usually has an employee or gross revenue exemption for small business, when it doesn't, it is because big software corps lobbied for it to be that way to prevent competition. This is worsened by the fact that big software corps don't spend on r&d to the extent bell labs and similar used to. So most of the r&d was small shops hoping to get bought, but now this batch will get bought at cut rates to pay the taxes, and the next batch won't arrive. R&D is only asset investment for large corporations, for small shops it is their actual product. And most software dev work doesn't come close to being real research, even if maybe you had to read an ieee paper to write up an algorithm, very few people are writing those papers in comparison.

It's "regulation-by-enforcement". Instead of defining clear rules, the SEC just waits and brings actions against the activities it doesn't want to happen. Sen Toomey and others have called out Gensler for doing this:
