It's a project that lets you piggyback off of others' ChatGPT API keys without their permission? If so, then it seems like it would violate both OpenAI's ToS as well as the ToS for any site that is being used as a proxy.

And is this a DMCA takedown? It's not actually specified in the readme update and I would have thought that the repo would have been hidden by now if it was one. Plus I'm not sure what they'd be claiming copyright on here (the API maybe?)
I am going to presume that CloudFlare wants an id on the person or it rejects the request. Even through vpns.
I sense an agenda in how many empty hit piece stories we are seeing about LLMs from mainstream sources. No not some paranoid lizard people agenda (thank god) but just the force of the status quo protecting itself.

Institutions are clearly threatened by this tech as it promises to upend many professional fields and economic relationships. In my case I'm seeing teachers suggest that GPT will ruin education, as though we haven't said the same thing about calculators or the internet or whatever the next thing is for generations.

Like many similar articles in the NYT and WaPo this article is nearly anti-intellectual is it's lack of basic research and curiosity. It's like these people haven't used the thing for even a half hour. But yet they speak with authority on the implications.

That demonstrates fear or gatekeeping. It demonstrates an interest in slowing down the change we are seeing. And it's pretty embarrassing to watch because you can't really hide that agenda when you don't know what you are talking about and are only coming from a place of defending the status quo.

Who buys into this? Who is this for? Who is convinced? They must be talking to people who want this answer and find it comforting. But given that it's not really very insightful or true, and has no shelf life, what's the point?

I really wonder.
it's funny because that's obviously what people want

then instead in top 5 there is some weird article about like "How I used my old CRT monitor to create a fish tracking app using radios" and some guy reply about some home project in 20 000 words no one really cares about

I think this is Spotify's fault. They're in a weird feud with Apple and won't properly support their app on all of Apple's platforms. I don't know who they think they're winning over but it just makes me dislike them more, I'll pick the Apple ecosystem over their app if push comes to shove.
All that it shows is that you had enough money to pay for 4 years of college. If that were the only criteria then holding on to a job for 4+ years should count for 1000x more than a college degree, because at least you are accountable for results.

Wow 20MB isn’t even enough to open Google maps, find a restaurant and navigate to its menu.

Unlimited plans usually throttle you these days too. I have €60 “unlimited” from orange.lu and after 250GB it throttles to 250kbps. At this speed hacker news is usable but not much else is. It’s €20 to add another 100GB. While waiting months for home internet to be installed I tethered to this and between WFH, gaming and streaming I usually had to top up 1-2 times per month.

Yeah Reddit autogenerates names now, somehow they thought signing up for an account was too difficult and wanted to make it easier.

That policy is why a lot of posts on the linked subs try to avoid purely going off username unless there's another larger pattern linking them such as all of them repeating the same comment, or sharing the same link across subs in short time. Ignoring the scripts that generate names like elizabeth99057524 that exceed Reddit's username pattern (which seems to limit itself to two words, optional symbol dividers, 2-4 digits, and properly capitalized).

One of the more odd patterns, is dormant/hacked/purchased accounts. Reddit has a somewhat aggressive commenting policy for new accounts and the community at large seems to treat them differently - so you'll see in those bot tracking subs that a lot of accounts highlighted aren't new but quite old and were likely purchased or hacked. I suppose someone sees value in doing so, and I guess with enough of them purchased you can plant enough votes to encourage Reddit to do the rest (ie upvote a thread enough to get it to the front page of the sub, but not enough to alert people, letting actual users mindlessly upvote it as well).

I built a system like Kyle Gabriel's (using his tutorial) and I grow mushrooms with it in a small tent, running Mycodo on a Raspi. This has probably been my most interesting tech I built just for myself, and my sanity. But credit where it's due: thanks Kyle!
I love this. I used to have a bunch of things that would benefit from a project like this.
Makes sense. If you are spending money, people want to split the cost. If you are sharing something you already have and would have regardless, even if it costed money originally, no need to split costs.

So how does that help you when your power cables get torn down? The infrastructure there was standing from atleast yugoslav times, and for 50 years, there were no issues, untile one icy-rainfal, all the cables got torn down. I mean.. you can also somewhat predict earthquakes, but you still don't build infrastructure that will withstand the "strongest ones", especially not in areas where earthquakes are rare.

In case of slovenia in 2014, something happened, that has 'never' happened before (atleast not in living memory), and this: https://www.postojna.si/Datoteke/Slike/Novice/123958/l_12395... was the affect on power infrastructure. People who could heat their houses with eg. wood or gas, stayed warm, the ones who only had electricity-powered devices (for heat, cooking,..) were screwed, and had to get help from others. If you forbid alternatives, you're cold, and all your neighbors are cold too, and rebuilding after such destruction is not a few-days thing.
> I'm also curious how this works with all the recent layoffs. Why do employers even need H1B applications when they've so recently laid off so many, some of whom are already H1B holders and have been put in a precarious position of having to find a new job or leave the country (within 60 days)?

Except the (very public) meltdowns at Twitter and Meta, layoffs were by far dominated by "tech adjacent" roles (like DEI advocates, recruiters, HR, "Solution Managers" whatever that means).

Last week, I checked my daily stats on Medium, not expecting much since I’m still working on building my readership. To my surprise, I saw that my reads were about three times my daily norm, even at that time of day. I scrolled down in my story stats to see where the traffic was coming from, expecting to see that I had ranked high for a keyword on Google. Instead, I discovered that the majority of the traffic was coming from Flipboard.
Remotely related, my screen makes a noise, somewhere between static and a whine, while displaying certain text files. Minimizing or closing the editor stops the noise, getting the text back on display restores the noise.

I suppose it's some sort of resonance phenomenon.
> I've never heard any justification for having "college education" as a job requirement.

Really? Never?

"A degree shows they have learned how to learn."

"A degree shows they can stick with something for 3-4 years."

"A degree shows they have learned how to write."

"A degree is needed because high school education sucks so bad now."

> Deregulation is the default

> There is little to no consensus on possible modes of regulation at nearly all levels of the AI pipeline

Your suggestion is reactionary at best and the F word at worst, allowing the govt to dictate who can try new enterprises. Govt isn’t your savior and the attitude that they will solve your problems is misguided.

One could interpret those as checks that someone could "work, and pay taxes in the US." They were cruel. But brief and unconstrained with respect to housing, infrastructure and regulation.

I'm not arguing for a return to Ellis Island. Just that our fine control of immigration is a modern phenomenon without a strong argument for existing.

The solution is more of actually figuring out what we're spending money on and who we're giving it to. When you start to realize a good portion of EBT users can afford food and use it for junk food and a sizable portion of welfare recipients do anything but live with it and that your tax dollars fuel these people, you feel an irrefutable feeling of doom.

My non-American interpretation of the use of fascism in this sense is "any politics I disagree with".

>cities may have an imperative to deprive them of their subsidized agriculture

They are subsidized to provide agricultural products to the cities. Do you think rural America requires subsidies to provide for their own, if the population centres said we will no longer purchase food from you? They are small communities with lots of land.
Fun and profit, the two primary motivators of all seemingly-useless things that exist in abundance.
This isn't about exposed credentials though. It would be like an autmatic image uploder that could pick an image hosting site such as imgur and upload the image for you and give you a link. Services are offering the ability to host images for you. You aren't stealing imgur's s3 credentials. They just let any user upload images for free despite the fact it technically costs them money to host the file for you. Similarly there are sites offering the ability to serve LLM requests for you for free.
I think the point here is that users would like to use Vec, HashMap etc using that arena allocator and handle OOM manually instead of having to write their own collection types.

The first time I've put on a VR headset was for vestibular rehabilitation. They had different simulations to fight dizziness, although in the end my cause was different so it had little (positive) effects on me.

But it really opened me to the possibilities of the tech outside of gaming and consumer applications. It can probably have a massive impact in cognitive behavioral therapy or for training (I believe I spotted a few setups to train soldiers to use Javelins in Ukraine)

I honestly would not be surprised to learn that a substantial amount of the specific content of spoken (or indeed keyboarded) utterances originates in movements of mouth and hands planned by the motor cortex. The reason being that sometimes the speed of production precludes the involvement of ‘higher’ cortical functions, which proceed at a slower pace.
>the percentage of food they produce that is thrown into landfills (and turns to methane)

The last time I tried to advocate for replacing landfills with incinerators on HN, someone came along to insist that methane recapture from landfills was possible and preferable (methane is useful, if you can confine it). I haven't had time to study that further, but managing food waste — aside from the actual lack of food it causes — is a solvable problem one way or another, and doesn't have to generate methane.

Now, nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizers...
I agree OP's estimate for job growth is off by an order of magnitude, but I don't know if r/cscareerquestions is strong evidence of an oversupply of qualified workers in general.

First, it's not a random sample of CS graduates--there's a lot of selection bias there. People who face a lot of rejection are going to want someplace to vent.

Second, I've absolutely phone-screened people (not a lot, but some) with CS degrees who couldn't do something simple like fizz-buzz. I'm not taking about nit-picky "you forgot a semicolon" or style things. I'm talking about "fundamentally not getting for-loops". It wouldn't surprise me if the bottom 0.5% of CS graduates each year apply to hundreds of openings, and get rejected by every single one.

Finally, we're in the contraction part of the business cycle right now. I do believe that new grads today/this year are having a harder time finding jobs, but the total number of people employed at tech companies seems to be falling this year, too. Citing jobless American CS grads would be a more powerful argument if jobs were growing at the same time.

Websurfx - A self-hostable foss meta search engine
"Websurfx" is a meta search engine I wrote getting inspired from swisscows search engine and searxng meta search engine. This project aims to provide a fast, secure and privacy focused meta search engine and also it will provide features which many meta search engines lack like advanced image search, proper nsfw blocking (which seems to be lacking in many meta search engine or are not properly implemented like for example if you do something nsfw it seems to still leak website links containing nsfw content even on strict safe search), etc. Though, It is still far from complete as it has alot of missing features like advanced search and also it lacks the code to evade ip blocking/banning but it is still working and usable but not production ready (in simple terms).

NOTES:

1. This project I am doing it as a hobby and not as something to earn money with.

2. The project has two branches rolling and master where the rolling branch is the edge/unstable branch in the project and it is where active development is currently going on whereas the master branch is the stable branch.
That may be a component, but I think another thing that contributes is that unlike Gen X which still somewhat bought into the "American dream", many Millennials and Gen Z watched their parents struggle and ultimately burn out growing up and decided they don't want their lives to be like that. Why constantly stress and sacrifice enjoying today for the sake of an almost entirely fictional tomorrow?
These problems don't seem to bother the vast majority of people. There are a few use cases where they can make a genuine difference, but they're swamped by the number of people using it to circumvent a valid and (reasonably) ethical law.

As for violence, that's literally one definition of government: a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. It's not just currency that derives its value from that. It includes your own physical safety and all of the coordination that allows a densely-packed society to function.

If you wish to reconsider that, you'll have to go further back than trivia like currency. You'll have to reinvent everything about the social contract that makes government work. Otherwise you're just layering a band-aid on top of a much more significant basis of your daily life.

The food waste is because food's extremely cheap. The fix is to make it expensive.

> The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
CloudFlare is usually there to mitigate bots attacking. Without which, the site wouldn't be available to view in the first place.

CloudFlare is merely the symptom of a greater set of problems, which it attempts to mitigate.

If you want to be angry about something, be angry that bruteforce attacks are common, guzzle resources and usually yield zero legal repercussions in most cases.

We already use several processes that are similar to lab grown meat. Ie beer and cheese are a bunch of cells dumped into a growth medium. Hell bread rises because of yeasts in a growth medium.

So the “minimal organism” here is probably some kind of fast growing meat cell in a relatively sterile environment, alcohol production optional.

But peanut butter has general edible and food preparation usage quite similar to honey, doesn't it? You can spread it on a slice of bread to eat directly or use it as a baking ingredient, but you probably wouldn't eat it by the spoonful straight from the container. (Or maybe that's how people usually eat peanut butter, I kind of don't want to know.)
Verification isn't about keeping secrets, obviously, it's about restricting the velocity of bots and their ability (intentional or not) to degrade your site's performance/availability.

There are too many bots out there that are very inconsiderate and do not limit or throttle themselves.

We have one right now that crawls every single webpage (and we have 10's of thousands) every couple days, without any throttle or limit. It's likely somebody's toy scraper, and currently it's doing no harm, but not everyone has the server resources we have.

The point is - if you are dealing with inconsiderate bots, a captcha of some type is pretty nearly a bullet proof way to stop them.

With that said, Cloudflare usually is smart enough to detect unusual patterns, and present a challenge to only those who they believe are bots or up to no good. If every person gets a challenge, then the website operator is either experiencing an active attack, or has accidentally set their security configuration too high.
Doing bad was expected, so the stock price was already down. The degree of badness was less bad than expected, so the price goes up a little.

The same thing often happens in reverse: "Nvidia posts record profits" and stock tanks because an even bigger record was expected.
I think the FOMO and enhanced hyper consumerism it enables contributes, but the actual macroeconomic factors around wage growth, etc. are the real problem.
That still forces you to go and proactively solve a ton of CAPTCHAs to get points or tokens or whatever it calls them. And some things seem to be just plain irretrievably broken regardless, whether by Cloudflare or by the clients I can't say.
