These copyright claims sound a little dubious.

Imagine if a producer listens to a bunch of songs by A Famous Artist and then writes an album of songs with a similar style (music and lyrics, but no samples or exact duplicates). Then they get somebody who sounds almost the same as the artist to record to songs and then release it.

As long as you don't claim to be the original artist and don't directly copy their music or lyrics there is nothing illegal about singing in an almost identical style.

If it's legal for a human to do it, no reason it should be legal for an AI.

Pre-google internet was way more structured because it had to be (since there were no good organic search engines). Google got in there and had a great algorithm that worked in that world. It got gamed and now content is being produced to make sure you appear on top of searches that might not even be what you were looking for.

>Don't languages in general have single words with multiple meanings? Is this a special feature of English?

That's not what I'm referring to; it's the confusion over "capital" vs "capitol" (in addition to the double meaning of capital city vs capital-money).
> AFAIK android will have an open API, iOS however is going to only support iCloud, classic monopoly.

The Android implementation allowing for multiple third part passkey providers (typically, existing password manager that want to support passkeys) is in beta.

Apple does not pre-announce features, so we are all likely in the dark on their timelines, and whether their timelines extend to infinity.

However, I believe a passkey manager can replace the system implementation via the web extension mechanism in mobile Safari today.
The endpoints are secured. I think you might want to pick up more context on what the library does and what the actual issue is.
Ah, I see where you're coming from. Agreed that it is time consuming.

Besides that the reputational risk of hanging out with convicted sex offenders is high enough that one should want not to do that.

I'd say the whole Epstein saga (not to mention this very thread) shows neither of these risks were very significant at all.
> I imagine that all businesses would benefit from having some long term certainty

Individuals, too: the money you contributed to social security may be gone when you need it, so good luck planning your future. Or maybe you won't get anything until you're 80. Or maybe you'll get half of it. Or it'll be taxed to death.

So for the sake of planning, the common advice to younger workers is to assume you'll get nothing. Get back to work.
Yeah, I’d complain if I were a Google employee too. 70B in wasted potential for new and improved products, plus a CEO who admitted to overhiring getting a big stock grant (in addition to a bonus, err, stock price bump from buybacks).

It feels like the board has said, “We don’t care about the company or it’s future, just the price of our stock.”
> System 7 is an interesting beast in terms of the era it spans. On one end, we have the Mac Plus from 1986 with its 9" screen and 68000 @ 8 MHz. It can run System 7. And then there's 200 MHz PPC machines with PCI and Ethernet and 64 MB of RAM and all that, which can also run System 7.

System 7.5/7.6 have similar flexibility. It’d run on a lot of 68k Macs, and it’ll just as happily run on that 200Mhz PPC Mac you mentioned after it’s had a 400Mhz+ G3/G4 upgrade card installed (System 7 might able to do this too but I’m not certain). Of course this CPUs are bottlenecked by the bus speeds of that hardware, but the gap between the power available and power required without virtualization/emulation is kind of wild.
There's also a nasty adverse selection problem. Your initial customers will be naive tiny companies and scammers.

I would be interested to see actual "real world" data vs "standard crash test" data. It's much easier to design something for excellent performance on a small subset of rigorously defined tests, vs designing for any/every possible outcome.

It seems passkeys mostly operate in the cloud, like replication across all iCloud connected devices? This seems like a major point of vulnerability for the average user.

Private key infra in crypto/web3 tends to promote best practice as offline, paper wallet, airgapped devices, etc.
Did they have their foot on the accelerator?

Teslas always allow human input to override and they don't auto-steer through cones. There were several attack ads that exploited these two very reasonable behaviors to force the car to impact a dummy before blaming the impact on FSD. Is this one of them? This particular video doesn't look familiar from the last kerfuffle, but I see cones and I see a conflict of interest. Is there an interior shot showing the console?
I tried the self driving mode and it couldn’t handle a very popular and common road in Pennsylvania.

I have a friend who had his Tesla in the shop for 2 months and literally had no alternate car for this period.

Autonomous driving is not real. Do not believe Elon-hype.

The cars have a surprisingly high number of defects and bizarre issues.

Angle of Empire or Verifying. Maybe Mandarin Hero if he draws in.

20 horse fields are chaotic, especially with positioning and horses getting boxed in, bumped, shuffled, going insanely wide into stretch. Forte got a horrible draw, but there hasn't been a better jockey over the past 2-3 years to handle it than Irad Ortiz. The 3/1 (probably ends up going off at 2/1 or worse) isn't that appealing for straight win bets. Maybe key him over those 3?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wisdom_of_Crowds - this is a good book that touches on how accurate predictions by groups can be. With horse racing, in aggregate, the wagering favorite wins ~30% of the time (field sizes vary), or one of the top 2 betting choices ~55% of the time.
> their browser is irredeemably buggy

Seconded. I gave it a few months, but it just wouldn't improve by itself. To be fair: With a detailed bug report (via Discord, making it excruciatingly hard to find duplicates/follow up), the problem would often be fixed in the next release.

But it wasn't 1 or 2, it was more like 20 easily spotted issues. Come on, I can't do all of your testing.

I think I've never said it this clearly because I don't want to offend (I still very much like the browser's concept), but it was just too painful for regular use for me.

This about a year ago. Your comment seems to indicate that it hasn't changed.
I know someone who was rear-ended on the freeway because he had to hit the brakes hard and the driver behind didn’t react in time. Thankfully nobody was hurt. Just pointing out that “excessively cautious” can carry its own set of dangers, even if it’s ultimately safer.
That was autopilot, not FSD
I agree, for trips under a week in duration. But for stays of 30+ days, Airbnb is still the best option (aside from unofficial alternatives like facebook subletting groups).

But even for short stays, Airbnb put downward pressure on hotel prices, which is the only reason they're now somewhat comparable.
I used A-Dock for years before I could afford a Mac OS X-capable computer, with Kaleidoscope too. Despite my excitement when I actually got 10.2 installed on something, I found myself dual-booting for a while. I didn't find that Mac OS X was quite ready for actual daily use until 10.4, and it took a while for my OS 9 apps to be ported over.
The philosophical zombie argument is about behaviorism and eliminative materialism. In other words, if an unconscious system can act the way you and I do, without being conscious, then what's the point of consciousness? It's epiphenomenal, according to folks who believe P-zombies are metaphysically possible. The jury is still out on whether or not such systems ARE physically possible, however.

The CRA doesn't care about metaphysical possibility because we can all agree the CR could exist in principle. The point Searle drives home is against computationalism, and indeed functionalism in general. He proves that you can't necessarily derive semantics from syntax alone.
Kagi pricing page does not talk about Kagi users but Internet users, which Kagi is trying to attract with the $5 plan.

Almost all of current Kagi users are in the other 1% category, but that doesn’t change the fact that vast majority of internet users search 2-3 times a day and that Kagi would like to attract them with this plan.
Worth more now that they’re doing 70 billion in stock buybacks.
Yes. It would have been a very strange joke about posters if I somehow tried to say that I am not myself a poster, in a post. That would have been a weird thing to imply.

Thank goodness that I didn’t do that, I’d certainly have egg on my face if I hadn’t included myself in the joke and somebody called me out on it!
He was limited partner at Bear-Stearns, and involved in a number of financial ventures so I think there’s more to it than just Wexner but given that this included at least one massive Ponzi scheme (Towers Financial Corporation) I think it’s very reasonable to question how many of those ventures involved scams or money laundering.

> 3. Click on the job title.

You still have a table sorted by comp, where the top many rows include teachers who have taken on administrative duty, worked over summer, etc.

> Whilst SFUSD may not seem representative to you, it seems representative to me, because:

Sorry, this doesn't fly. You made a blanket statement about public school teachers, not public school teachers in SF.

> - there are often cries that SFUSD teachers are underpaid, can't afford to live in SF etc.

And the lower rows in those tables, making $45k base (or less) plus benefits, are going to have a pretty hard time doing so. And, SF is still a much more desirable working environment and comp environment than most public school districts.

> > You can't raise standards while you have a shortage. You need a surplus to be selective.

> Yes you can, if you have to be willing to relax two assumptions:

No, if you are going to pull people into the profession from elsewhere, you're going to need to have higher average comp than now. You probably have to also significantly improve working conditions. After all, us private school teachers are willing to make 30% less for better working conditions.

Another faulty assumption is that academic performance is the key figure of merit for educational effectiveness. If you're teaching computer science or calculus, maybe it's very important. On the other hand, this is probably not true for elementary teachers. And while salaries overall correlate to SAT scores, it is a very poor predictor of salary in most fields.

This is the worst form of journalism. Cool, someone made a few memes. So what? You can make up any narrative if you scroll Twitter (or in this case memegen) long enough. That doesn't make it a real problem that you have to report on.
One Google snippet (the Amazon product page was already deleted) said:

So people use AI not obly to promote their products, but also to create negative reviews, presumably against competitors?! That's fu**d up.

>>down-ranking sites with a lot of ads and trackers more aggressively

This is such an 'of course, why wasn't this done before' move!

Larding up a site with lots of ads and trackers is a blatant signal that it is low quality content attempting to game the search engine site.

It is surprising/not-surprising that Google didn't prioritize this downranking method years ago, as it would have massively improved the usefulness their results; but then it would also reduce the number of pages subsequently displayed using Google's placement engine...

Seems like low hanging fruit for Microsoft to undermine Google, downranking sites with heavy Google ad placements (since MS doesn't have a similarly large ad network that I know of)... and it'd be legit improvement of their results!

I highly doubt many people will be using models that have this problem in 6 months - and likely people wanting to write scripts will be using local models - NOT OPENAI.

Interesting to read about the issue. This is my first time posting source code on git written on a vintage machine.
Honestly the source code tracking, the way Ive done it, is not very useful. I dont blame git and I can’t say there aren’t ways to configure it to be more useful.

Classic Macintosh also used “data forks” and “resource forks” as part of all files. I know Windows strips the resource fork part (by accident as it has no awareness of it) — so any Macintosh file that uses its resource fork will be broken. This includes the THINKC project file and the .rsrc file in the repo!
Tldr - anyone interested in using the source code should just grab the .sit file and bring it to their emulator/or vintage machine and unstuff it there to preserve resource forks. But anyone in the vintage mac space knows all this by now :). Sharing it as fyi here! So proud to see my little app make HN!!!!
Since Windows 11, reading anything about Microsoft has been tedious and exhausting. This company has completely gone off the rails. I now consider them to be an adware and malware company.

The company that built and sold the hardware sounds like they are dealing with a software license expiration. The end users are affected, but they are not the nexus of the issue.

> “the contractor says the problem is the result of an expired software license”

I mean, the article is light on specifics but it seems irresponsible to be throwing around the terms “ransomware” and “malicious code” or letting Orqa co-opt the article into parroting the claims repeatedly with very little in the way of inquiry, specifics, or supporting technical detail. The word is associated with crime.

The article does say:

“But it looks like the bricking wasn't a traditional ransomware attack, but rather due to a corporate dispute.”

The article is also using the term “bricked” incorrectly - if you’re in the boot loader and can still upgrade firmware, especially in a way that fixes the problem, your device is not bricked in the way we typically use that term.

Anyway, this sounds like Orqa should have read their license agreement a little more closely. Maybe they knew there was a fee due but assumed that once the hardware shipped they wouldn’t have to pay. Maybe they’re the bad guys here.

There’re a lot of possible explanations, but it sounds like a contractual dispute, not a case of ransomware.
To be fair to same disincentive exists with ads, and any timed work. Ideally you’d be paid per successful search but that’s an intractable problem.
I recently did a 70 mile drive on FSD with no interventions from local suburb roads, to highway, to urban roads, to some odd roads near a zoo.

That being said, often times I've had to intervene going <10 miles on local roads because it's so cautious that I'm afraid other drivers may react poorly and cause an accident. Rarely, it has done some dangerous actions that I'd characterize as "bad driving." So no, it's not there yet and it is dangerous because of the rare situations, but it's also occasionally perfect and usually "okay."

I’m not a fan of System 7 particularly, but I find that 8.0 up through 9.1 make nice “zen mode” operating systems. They have reasonably modern touches like sticky menus (don’t need to hold down mouse button to keep menu open) but are so much more “quiet” than modern operating systems. System 7.5 isn’t too bad and I actually used it back when it was current, but my interest in old macs skews more toward 1997 onward, most of which boot 8.0 or newer.

Earlier OS X releases are decent at this too. I find 10.2-10.6 pretty cozy.
For people that care about statistics rather than anecdotes:

Many companies have tried to unseat Nvidia. Many of them big companies. There is no magic in the ones you named. Worse, I'm not clear that Google will bring stability to the project. Such that I see little reason to be overly excited.

Your first point is simply reality. If your largest customer had a major issue, you're going to prioritise that over a much smaller customer. It's just how we prioritise ourselves, something needs to give and not everything can have the same level of hypercare.

If you have 1000's of support tickets, what approach do you take to prioritising them? First in first out doesn't work if your 500th ticket globally is a major customer.

I would argue that in this scenario, AWS can be setup to provide access to another in the case that someone passes away or goes AWOL.

*From someone who worked in customer support for a large Telco. You wouldn't believe some of the crap people need support for.
I agree with most of what you said, but you aren't being honest or charitable to the news anchors and you didn't present your argument in a respectful way. I remember this compilation of a bunch of news networks saying the same talking points in a similar cadence. These kind of mandatory talking points undermine the value and purpose of local news reporting.

I personally don't think local news still has the same value it did in a pre-broadband time. The primary source is now accessible directly, through social media. And in my opinion, a lot of powerful journalism and journalism adjacent independent reporting happens on youtube/twitter. This independence allows better and nuanced reporting that otherwise wasn't possible. Paper media is on a decline, paper news has been dead for a while. I imagine any paper that refused to embrace the internet is gone now.
