The ecosystem isn't really anything more than the sum of its features.

I already mentioned K8s as an automatic container runner/restarter. But if you run two copies of a service, you need a load balancer to route traffic to them. You can program your own (more work), or download & run someone else's (less work). Or you can see what K8s provides [0] and do even less work than that.

If your services talk to one another, they could talk by hard-coded IP (maintenance nightmare), or by hostname. If they talk by hostname, then they need DNS to resolve those host names. Again, you can roll DNS yourself, or you can see what K8s gives you [1].

And on and on. Firewalls, https, permissions, password/secrets management.

There's one more thing to say about K8s which is that it has become a bit of a defacto standard. So you don't need to relearn a completely new way of doing this stuff if you decide to switch jobs / cloud providers.

Well-worded bad faith insinuation parody is still just bad faith insinuation. Why dress up a bad thing instead of doing a good thing?
But if you make it a sentence, "my pair of integers is 1 and 1", it sounds a little bit off. Because "pair" for the same concept twice is often an error.

Picking a mathematical formulation like you did can avoid that kind of implication, but there wasn't a template for which formulation to use and the way you wrote that makes it look like order matters which isn't right either.
It sounds like Italian ciabatta might work. It is a great cold sandwich bread with many of the same properties that you describe. I've seen smaller ciabatta rolls in a wide variety of sizes. It should be possible to create the "hoagie" shape.

No one says ai companies shouldn't automate what can be automated, but they need to pay for or not use licensed content. Be it art, software, books, anything. If we started stealing cars and selling their wheels we'd be pretty popular too. But we need to pay for what we sell.
>No content that condones illegal ... activity

How does that work? Illegal where I live, illegal where they are or illegal anywhere?

Further if I'm pro abortion, is that condoning 'illegal activity'? What about smoking weed, which is illegal in certain states but legal in others. If I talk about crossing the road not at a crossing which is legal in my country, would that be banned? Do I now need to read up on US business law to find out where they're incorporated and or where the servers are sited to find the applicable state to then find the applicable laws? Are their moderators also going to be trained to this standard?

That's what (4) is for. Time out after some duration.
I use the ErgoDox EZ, I love it and I've been RSI free with good, productive workflow.

My first non-standard keyboard was the Kinesis Advantage. When I first got it (to mitigate RSI), I went through a similar phase as you.

My solution was to stop everything else, get Mavis Bacon (any typing tutor really) and develop muscle memory. 1 week later, my productivity levels were manageable and I used the keyboard for regular work stuff. I continued Mavis Bacon for 2 more weeks. At the end of the 3rd week, I felt more productive than before. It's been 8 years now and I haven't turned back.

The switching to regular keyboards part might be a real issue if you are, like me, a creature of habit. I avoid it as much as possible.
are there openly available models that are similar for the output i.e. generating speech or singing with a voice set by a given sample, but that instead of a text prompt input would take a speech or singing input and take pitch change and intonation cues from that to generate an output that generally follows those pitch and intonation changes but adapted to the different voice and diction of the provided sample? for example:

* provided voice sample: some clean voice samples from Homer Simpson

* provided prompt: audio sample of the "gunnery sergeant Hartman" monologue from "Full Metal Jacket": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHxf17yJsKs

* result: that same monologue but spoken out in the voice of Homer Simpson, but otherwise following the dynamic of the prompt sample i.e. shouting, changing pitch or speed pretty much at the same times as gunnery sergeant Hartman does?
I was following until the very end. This felt very handwavy:

>Now, since e is somewhere between 2 and 3, we have to conclude that n must be 2. Further, from our curve, we can see that there can only be one other value of x for which (lnx)/x = (ln2)/2, and since we know that 2⁴ = 4², we know that the other integer must be 4.

Is this sort of thinking something that could be justifiably written in a real proof? Sure, conveniently fishing out 2 as n seems to narrow down the search space for m, but I'd imagine this wouldn't work for harder problems
How far have we come from "My Gift to Reddit: I created an image hosting service that doesn't suck."[0]

Imagine we're a primitive people in a forest village. If I steal your ax, that's theft. However, if I see your ax, and make my own ax based on your idea, did I steal anything from you?

In the 2nd scenarios above, you may have to work harder in your woodchopping business, as I'm now competition, but doesn't that mean that the villagers benefit from better access (cheaper prices) to wood-chopping services?

We currently define ideas as property. But is that ethically defensible? Now, if I claim to have originated the ax idea, I'm maybe stealing your brand or reputation. I should have to give credit to you for the idea of an ax, but I don't see how making a copy is theft. Ideas are not scarce; they're inherently shareable.
Like I said, I just use Discord for image hosting now.

I can upload by just pasting into the client, and it works anywhere Discord works. I can access images from anywhere by using/sharing the direct links.

If I can easily and simply upload and access images, that's all I want out of an image hoster. Everything else is signal noise.

Yes on the db engine, at least for the document indexing part. I'm not building absolutely everything from scratch, a significant part of it is bespoke. There's just not a lot of off-the-shelf stuff that's built to deal with this type of application.

You do occasionally see attempts at building internet search engines out of like elasticsearch or stuff like that, but it just doesn't scale.
They are, but the main difference is they don't store raw data. They store key features which makes it and even more blatant infringement. Basically, they are made of exactly what copyright protects - characteristics. In on over simplified manner of speaking.
You can sue someone for using their likeness without permission.

I'm not legally qualified to speak on the topic.

Conceptually someone's unequivocal identifier is part of their likeness. Maybe Drake's vocal cords and characteristics unequivocally and measurably differ from everyone else's.

I wouldn't want to live some where my face, name, image and (maybe?) my trained voice can be ripped off 24/7 by a typist with AI generative tools, even if the result was economic benefit to me.

If I can use Tom Hanks' voice for the cost of a ChatGPT prompt, in my next powerpoint presentation about the dangers of AI... why wouldn't I?
I think it true in the technical manner. You can try to find it in the actual GDPR but that hard if you aren't a lawyer the UK ICO has a neater article on this:

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...

Basically you just need to declare them in you privacy policy and keep a record for compliance.

In terms of LI though it's really complicated and I don't think anyone here on this site is in a position to say for sure if LI applies to what OpenAI is doing. There are arguments from both sides that make sense.
Ciabatta is great but it has nothing to do with a Philly cheesesteak roll. Like so far away as to be from another dimension. A Subway roll would be closer.

You want a soft roll, not actually dense, despite GP’s statement but not airy like sourdough. In texture it’s closer to a hamburger or hotdog bun. In size and shape it’s like a sub or a hero.
You'd think capitalism would lead platforms to support porn.
Sure, but those laws were written before it was possible to make audio that sounds exactly like someone else. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they get rewritten.

As someone in the field (I made an account just to comment on this), I agree that scientists will always be motivated to push the boundaries on questions that are relatively esoteric. People are right to be skeptical... However, even if they aren't immediate, there are enormous tangible benefits to society from conducting scientific research:

1. Basic research directly underpins the vast majority of the technology we have available. Or at the minimum provides the framework with which we understand how technology operates, making it easier to improve. I think the utility of this is greatly underappreciated.

2. It's impossible to know in advance how useful some basic piece of research will prove to be in the future. We can only guess at the $ value, and many of the most useful results are surprises from blue-sky research not applied goal-orientated work.

3. Academia produces an army of highly-trained disgruntled postdocs and PhD students (just look at the ratio of student to professor positions) who have beneficial transferable skills for industry. It's not that you can't learn to do research outside of the academic environment, but getting a PhD is good training for it.

Finally, just guessing here, but did you work on galaxies or the ISM? We're on the cusp (a couple of decades) from imaging potentially habitable Earth analogs with next-generation space missions. This is a huge step toward answering the 'are we alone' question. Personally, I'd happily spend a few billion on that though I know not everyone would agree...
Most current "AI" models essentially compress and then store the information, often to the point where training data can be extracted [1][2]

Imgur was wonderful as a stable image host that didn't mandate accounts and allowed hotlinking. Just open the site and drag the file.

I couldn't care less about their discussions. I remember some years ago taking a look there and it was super eerie, because the people where discussing images posted to reddit without having any context whatsoever.
I'm not sure it's fair to compare the record of a plane family that's 20 years younger than the 737. The first 737 entered service in 1968 vs 1988 for the A320, and during those 20 years, airplane safety improved significantly. Airbus benefited a lot from Boeing's learnings over that time.
A main reason people use those apps is to avoid ads. Also to avoid the reddit company's decisions about how stuff should work.
Great points. Especially UX and not just for ChatGPT. On the chat OpenAI website I keep pressing the up arrow like a terminal editor thinking it will let me re-edit my prompt. But without an API key with access this is all I have.

Same with Midjourney. I’m not a discord user, but it is so painful to use compared to the automatic1111+extensions that scratch the surface of what a powerful UI can be a given generative AI use case.

A key point with space elevators is that they aren't limited to Earth. The solar system has plenty of celestial bodies that could benefit (us) from having one.

It may not be as significant as the impact of an Earth-based one, but any propellant savings is a win.

Well lucky us we don't live in a primitive society, and that's basically the point of this whole debate.

I don't know, but this seems kind of a repeated argument over new technology we are not able to understand. Even cars/motorbikes were (although mainly jokingly) assumed a man's partner.

That's not to say that it is unsettling, but I just want to point out that many of the "weird" behaviours are mainly dependent on the subject (person) and not the object (smartphone/internet/socials).

> the previous steps like detection take up space

Yes but I'm missing why they would need significant amounts of space or power compared to the big transistor that's actually dealing with the current.

> Digital CMOS is bi-state and the pin is tri-state, therefore you can conclude that there are additional components involved to achieve the third state.

Yeah, so less to add and less to worry about compensating for because it's already handled.

> Spiking can be caused by suddenly shutting off current through a parasitic inductance because it sort of has inertia and can't stop immediately.

It already abruptly turns on and off. How does an extra trigger condition make that worse?

Or in other words, how are we not already in the worst case, with nowhere to go but up? (Since if we're just controlling the transistor better we won't be adding any more inductance than the pin already has.)
> That is you write fewer hardware blocks to the flash chips with a well tuned rocksdb.

What would you consider a well-tuned rocksdb? My understanding is that, due to level-based compaction, there is always a decent amount of write amplification that is unavoidable -- i.e. for one modification to eventually end up in the bottommost level (e.g. L6), it would need to be (re-)written to disk 5 or 6 times. That's quite heavy an amount of write amplification, but maybe my expectations are off?
Training data seems to be the new valueable asset post AI.
Yes. I was bringing up the dual numbers here as a gentle introduction to ramp up to nonstandard analysis.

A random example from $dayjob: vendors like ESRI ship products that are actually a dozen spread across five sets of servers with certificates and load balancers everywhere. My customer has 7 sets of them due to acquisitions, each with dev, test, and prod instances. That’s 21 sets of a dozen servers or so. Just keeping up with OS updates and app patching is nearly a full time job!

Or just apply their official helm chart… and you’re pretty much done. You’ll also get better efficiency because the various environments will all get bin-packed together.

Is it perfect? No, but it’s better than doing to yourself!
Yeah, I wish this went on as far as an actual space elevator would, perhaps with extra visualizations of the heights of various orbits. The top would be slightly above geostationary orbit, since you would need the center of mass to be at the geostationary point in order to work.

Some of those celestial bodies are even small enough that we could build the elevators with existing materials, too.
"Despite having used considerable quantities of AMD processors and Intel NICs, we don't get adequate design support for new projects. In addition, the x86 silicon currently offered is not very appealing for our niche of passively cooled boards. After about 20 years of WRAP, ALIX and APU, it is time for me to move on to different things."

If I may, my current NAS runs off a 10+ years old Atom D410 which is way slower than the GX412, still perfectly adequate for managing two ZFS pools and serving them over a local network via NFS and CIFS while running some other services.
I'm sure if you moved from firewalls to other things, you could find other niches in need of new products, especially now that the Raspberry Pi 4, which is comparable speed wise is nearly unobtanium and way overpriced.
How much would it cost to design two new boards, say one with 1 or 2 NICs and 5 SATA ports, then one with one NIC, WiFi and a good number of GPIOs? I would surely buy a few of them, and probably others would as well.
I’m impressed with how high planes and rockets built almost 100 years ago got.
Even my own content has probably been used by them, against my wishes. I see it as unethical data usage. Additionally, the ethics of the company's history, changing to become entirely 'closed' while even keeping the name "OpenAI", makes me... angry, I suppose is the right word. Intuitively it seems to me that they will have a very bad influence on the world if they maintain dominance and continue to gain power

I didn't read it as a complaint, you said you didn't get the point, and your comment about the font highlighted that, for me at least.

As the author states

You didn't pay for this, the author owes you nothing, a printed book you paid for would mean they do owe you something.

I detected irony because people don't tend to criticise font choices in books as much as they do in blogs. Despite the fact said blogs are free and the author owes you nothing.

But this is art, so it's all open to interpretation, and this is mine.
I have leared to ignore any promoted content i.e. ads in my reddit timeline, mostly because they are irrelevant. The app is regardless slow as hell. The Dawn app in comprasion, is extremely smooth and a pleasure to use. I'd guess the difference is the amount of tracking and analytics the official app is trying to do, I'd guess it is also not a native app.

I thought it would go all the way up to the anchor of the space elevator, so I expected to have to scroll up for another couple of hours. I guess the creator wisely decided that was a bit too much.

I see such links in HN to be a very good example of mental illness, if you need research to know social media causes mental illness, then you’re mentally ill (or never used social media). It should be obvious to anyone who used social media for any significant amount of time. Yet social media usage is so normalized, especially in places like HN where people are chronically online, that people just self-rationalize.
