> Ironically, this pressure from regulators may have led to the company flipping the switch and doing exactly the wide-scale harm they were afraid of.

This is an incredibly trivial and shallow understanding of the situation.

Consider was harm happening before the filters were in place? Yes.

The problem was that the filters weren’t there to start with not that turning them on was bad or caused harm.

Compare to any other harmful thing, for example cigarettes. Is the solution to the problem to just let people have as much they want, because taking them away is bad?

Definitely. Not.
I asked the question knowing that he's a co-founder and chief scientist at OpenAI. Being in his position doesn't automatically mean that he's contributed meaningfully.
What I really want is a system that has

• Positive pressure maintenance, so that any air leak paths are not introducing outside air pollutants

• HEPA filtration, using two filters in series so I can "cycle through" filters, moving the post-filter to the pre-filter location and using a brand-new post-filter (this is similar to the ISS water filter change procedure, and maximizes expendable filter utilization); by the series-parallel circuit math, this should requires four times the total area of HEPA filter

• pressure drop sensors, so I only need to replace the HEPA filter when necessary

• activated carbon post-filter that lets me to replace only the granules themselves, using bulk activated carbon

• washable screen prefilter, to avoid premature saturation of the HEPA medium with >10 micron particles

• washable electrostatic prefilter, to avoid premature saturation of the HEPA medium with <1.0 micron particles

• HRV/ERV, to avoid unwanted heat and humidity transfer to the outside air

• HRS/ERV Bypass, so I can use "free cooling" / "free heating" to exploit natural temperature differences over the day

• (optional) MERV-13 post-prefilter, to intercept ~95% of PM2.5 and greatly extend the life of the HEPA filter train

Does anyone know of a system that has all these features?
That "massively deep philosophy/corpus" doesn't help things, though. With nearly 200 years of a leadership that teaches that whatever is spoken by God's servants (the highest church leadership) is to be equated as similar to the word of God (with a normal human distribution of those leaders who approach this view with a cautious humility through those who speak their musings with confidence) there's a HUGE of collection of some pretty odd beliefs. Since the church leadership almost never repudiates these past statements, preferring to have them quietly fade from the collective memory and consciousness of the membership over time, chances are that there's still some few members who are aware of these weird beliefs and can back them up with some sort of statement by a modern LDS prophet or apostle. This makes any "actual truth value" of an odd teaching or belief really difficult to gauge, and chances are there's some actual statement behind many of that unreliable information.

That's speaking of teachings and doctrine, of course. When it comes to history that's less like trying to nail Jell-o to the wall and it's much easier to find sources for more accurate history, and I agree that it's a bit sad how little accuracy in history seems to be respected by some believing and formerly-believing members.
Ehhh but that’s just Sherlock Holmes’ drug addiction manifesting.
Win 3.1 was arguably less ugly than Win 8.
We need a new Federal agency to regulate virtual romantic partners (VRPs) - we can also use this platform to educate citizens on ideal behavior such as reducing their carbon emissions and becoming vegan. We can make individual's VRPs reward them for these improved social practices. This is a great opportunity to s̵u̵b̵j̵u̵g̵a̵t̵e̵ improve society!
To be fair, apple is famous for having poured money into AR and robot cars lately. “Project Titan” was a cash burning machine, and we’ve been expecting their rumored AR goggles any day now.

Apple may have had more discipline with hiring, but they definitely fund R&D ventures - especially the “moonshots” you mention. They seem to have avoided any crypto teams, and any space-tech teams, but they also seemed under invested in AI.
I wouldn't say "to blend in" although I don't think that's wrong either. The stated goals are to emphasize that the COJCOLDS believe in and worship Jesus Christ, and are a "Christ centered religion." There's definitely some unity goals here to be more accepted as Christian, but they also really believe that the name of the church was literally set by Jesus Christ, and that He (Jesus) is inspiring the current leadership to restore the God-given name.

So there are a handful of factors/motivation at play, but yes a huge goal is to brand themselves more as Christian.
> you can only assess the popularity of something when it becomes a free choice rather than obligation.

Democratic elections and referendums have assessed this and the majority of the population has voted in favor of this system. For better or worse, that's democracy for ya'.
What may be lacking is full tamper-proof auditing and full transparency of all tools to see who was in the driver seat. Who armed the LLM with what data and what algo was used and tuned to manipulate the masses.

Anyone today could for example buy a portable high powered UV or IR laser. A malicious person could point said tool into a crowd of people and permanently blind them. We need to see who was holding the laser.

Untamed nature is far more dangerous to humanity than human technology. As recently as in the 1900s, the average life expetency at birth was 30-40 years.

We're shooting guns, nuking nukes and engineering viruses, and still, on average, we're better off with all that than without it.

I don't understand why they lobotomized their product. Presumably they would make a lot more money by having satisfied customers. What did they stand to gain from the rug-pull here? I could understand if they jacked up their prices to exploitative levels, but that's not what they did.

Definitely. Much of it _isn't_. But the parent comment was referring to the waste of the process, which is necessarily the part that isn't directly useful in the job.
I wonder how useful even this list actually is. Famously Tucker Carlson was being spied on by the NSA through his signal app, and while I don't trust them to be able to figure out exactly what the point of entry was, it does imply without regular whistleblowers from throughout the NSA/etc, we won't know exactly what their capabilities are and I'm not sure how meaningful a list like this can be.
It's dangerous to assume phishing vulnerability is solely a Boomer thing. Tech literacy is unevenly distributed even among younger generations, and the upcoming generations that grew up on Chromebooks and tablet computing aren't that much more tech literate than old folks on the aspects of OpSec that matter. "Kids these days" don't even really understand how file systems work.
White hat and black hat. If you’ve got the best pentesters then your systems are going to be harder to break into, giving you the advantage.
Just get yourself a charging cable that has no data pins/wires or a USB adapter with the same purpose if this is your concern.

As someone who rarely has a need for data connection while traveling this would be a real option.
IANAL, but the question as I understand it is whether the model output violates the license associated with images (or other content) in its training set. If you make something by providing creative input to a tool I'm not sure why it wouldn't be copyrightable.

What I'm not sure I get is how Midjourney can have different licenses for the output for paid and free users. That seems akin to Adobe retaining the rights to any images you create if you're using a free trial copy of their software.

As far as existing heat-seekers, I would assume that they are generally used in cases where the only target which will likely be locked on to is the desired target. However, this is coming from a place of total ignorance of what the process of target acquisition might look like and what conditions they are used in.
In case anyone is curious, this appears to refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Sutskever who was a PhD student of Geoffrey Hinton's and is now Chief Scientist at OpenAI.

We are talking about a Turing Award winner known as one of the "godfathers of AI" and your take is that this is just about taking the limelight? The level of cynicism on HN never fails to surprise me.
No I’m not. I have always been curious on the origin of these ideas.
Dunno how you can see the problem of massive corporate consolidation and yet miss the entire mark so badly.

The regulatory toothlessness of the government means that the businesses can de facto write their own laws.

Same thing is happening in healthcare with the takeover there by a few religiously affiliated corporations, which will affect everyone's choices about their own healthcare.

We've been screaming about how the government is horrible since Reagan in the 1980s and we're on the cusp of really bearing the fruits of that decades long shift of power to completely unaccountable corporations.

But yeah, its the government which is still obviously the problem.
The Web is an imperfect corpus, but "git" is less commonly used as an insult. Even once you git rid of all the software references with "git -software -version -torvalds -branch -commit -github -repo -repository" your primary definitions are as a synonym for "get," e.g., the top result is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git!

Compare to "gimp -image -org" where the top result is not only an insult, but an ableist one that would instantly land you a trip to HR.
It is not illegal for a foreign state actor to surveil you. In fact governments sign agreements with other governments for them to surveil you while we surveil their citizens and trade information. This gets around the illegal act of government spying on it's own citizens.

Your government mass surveil's foreign citizens. But they can't mass surveil citizens legally.
This is a relevant response to this from me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35774614

You've highlighted the problem: the American healthcare system and wealth inequality.

It's also silly to equate an LLM with the capabilities of an actual human therapist.
I recently screened a few intern resumes that listed chess rankings/scores/clubs—in a world of too many boring & plain resumes that fail to show aspects of your character, this was a welcome addition of variety—but sadly they were primarily only cultural fits on my team, not technical fits.
> VSCode isn’t much different from vim or emacs in terms of functionality: basic text editor that is configured for various tasks by plugins.

Ease of extensibility is a big deal and vscode is much less easy to configure.

VSCode doesn't work uniformly throughout the application. In emacs, you'll quickly start to depend on all the places you can use M-r, M-n, and M-p to reverse search history for instance. This is one of many many examples where it's keyboard driven UX is superior.

Another big thing is that you can get help for every keybinding, click a link to it's function, and start modifying the implementation.

There was a recent podcast I can't recall that gave a good example of this... I'll look for it and post back if I find it.

The last few months I've worked as an Engineering Manager for a Solutions Engineering team working with a full stack of ad-analysis tools, client notification systems and process automation. Previous to managing the team I was a Solutions Engineer II for about a year. We work in the advertising technology space, primarily with Prebid and a popular browser extension for analysing advertising setups. I'm also involved in product design and development.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Corporate Finance and spent several years of in the construction industry before diving into programming, which had previously just been a hobby.

I am also the creator of FinMesh, a financial data API wrapper for Python.

Eager to learn and hungry to grow in the depth and breadth of my skills I'm looking for junior software developer positions. Something in fintech, constructions technology or advertising fits my background well but I'm open to all opportunities.
pygmalion-6B may work better for that specific purpose. however, it may sound less like an actual person and more like a character in a grimey ao3 story.

my personal opinion is that anyone using AI for this purpose should treat it more like enhanced fiction and less like it's a human substitute.

Most Mormons I’ve met are so wholesome and kind that I think they would legitimately choose to work in the FBI or IC to make the world a better place. If we’re gonna have one group overrepresented I can’t think of a better one, and I disagree with basically all of their beliefs.

For one the IC basically excludes edgier and free spirited types, or those with baggage, by design. It also excludes financially motivated people and academic types - in practice we’ve already ruled out most of the urban upper middle/upper classes and most poorer people. Among the remainder you have to pick those with college education that are willing to live in or around cities. And then among those, people willing to commit to a long career, believe in the cause, maintain discretion, unlikely to fall off the wagon… and without any kind of concerning overt bigotry. Besides people who enlisted directly out of high school I feel like Mormons are the only major group who would consistently fit the bill.
You’d have to be a billionaire for that math to have a chance to balance.

I think it’s mostly a status symbol, like a yacht.

Edit: I’m talking about owning a private jet. Renting one is quite different.
In Brazil where I live, there are laws requiring battery manufacturers to collect (almost all) spent batteries, preventing them from getting in landfills. So finding battery disposal bins in buildings and so on has become common. (classic market failure!)
Nice. For average person though $20 month seems high. Not sure where the ROI would be at $240 per year for average person. However, for business people with monthly expense reports it could be a really nice product. Making expense reports is PITA. I used to travel for work and it was such a pain to record all my receipts and make the report I would just not do it for a lot of stuff and just pay out of pocket for my own expenses while traveling (food, random cab rides, etc). If you could just text all your receipts while on a trip and then export a report that could be really helpful and you could probably charge $$$$
Rather than untested it would be more accurate to say all indications so far are that they are not copyrightable and guidance from the copyright office is that they are not copyrightable.

If you make changes to a midjourney image your changes may rise to the level of copyrightable but it will never alter the copyright status of the underlying image.

So this article is seemingly just wrong. You don't need any license or paid membership to use am image not generated by a human - it is by default in the public domain.
When your funds get low just open your hot and cold wallet apps and type in how much to transfer, wasabi takes care of the rest.

It's easier than merely logging into my bank. Or paypal (which unintentionally locked me out for over a year after a broken tos update that I couldn't accept).

People have had hot and cold wallets forever, they just call them wallets and banks. It is the same workflow, except without:

Driving, operating hours, showing ID (oops my (hot) wallet got stolen/left at home. Now I can't withdraw from my bank until that's sorted.), the horrible password requirements, barely usable websites, and spyware apps that may or may not work on rooted/libre operating systems.

It's the legacy banking system that is fundamentally broken.
>Layoffs mean they're doing less (far less!). Are they gonna hire people back?

The deposit refund system also needs to be worth the effort. My state has a $0.05 deposit on bottles and cans. I used to save the original packaging, put the empties back in the box, and take the boxes to the the customer service counter at the grocery store. It was worth it for a little pocket change.

Now? It's all mechanized. I have to feed cans one by one into a machine that reads the barcode to be sure it is a product the store sells. Different machines accept cans vs bottles. This is a slow process. You often need to wait in line for each machine. Sometimes the machines are broken, or sometimes even a working machine fails to read the barcode and rejects 10% of your cans or bottles. When you are done, you take printed slips from the machines to customer service and wait in line to exchange them for cash.

It's not worth it. I still recycle, but I toss cans and bottles into my recycling bin and forgo the deposit.
"The line already drawn, no indiscriminate killings of civilian"

In modern warfare, civilians have always been the main casualties of war. Whether this really counts as "indiscriminate" is for war lawyers to argue over, but the fact remains that the civilian toll far exceeds the military toll, and for the victims and their families it matters little whether their deaths were "justified" to some lawyer or politician.

As technology advances, more and more power is going to be concentrated in the hands of individuals, many of whom won't be bothered by niceties such as the Geneva convention, and will target those they hate, be they civilian or military. High tech weapons will only make this easier.

We are headed for a very dark time.
As regular airline travel gets more and more expensive and less and less enjoyable, the number of people for whom the price of a first class ticket is immaterial and so decide to just book a jet from NetJets instead will rise.

A small private jet starts at like $2k/hr, so let's say $4k an hour to include all costs. That's higher than a first class ticket but not much higher than 7 or 8 first class tickets.

They are landlocked by the definition of being a lake and not a sea. Landlocked doesn't mean "does not connect to the sea", because so many lakes and rivers connect to the sea. A lake is a lake by virtue of not being a sea. And a land mass is landlocked by virtue of not having a border that is a seafront.
That's not the only question. If it was decided the images are not derivatives of the training set, the question then becomes can artwork created by a non-human be copyrighted.

My dad built a few Heathkit devices like signal generators, etc. for his home electronics repair sideline in the 1960's and 70's, and as I reached max capability at building plastic model kits he asked me to build a Heathkit oscilloscope. It was a whole new universe, but the satisfaction was indescribable. He was a wizard, and I did my best. Between Heathkit, Radio Shack, military surplus, and later Fry's in San Jose, I was in tech doodad heaven.
