More important than an opinion of a court is the opinion of lawmakers. After all, copyright laws have a purpose and AI subverts that purpose. Lawmakers will have to decide whether the benefit of AI to society is greater than the benefit of having works published. We will see laws adapted accordingly.

Consensus Learning in AI Systems
In Geoffrey Hinton's Cambridge discussion[0] he makes the argument that self-learning
systems could share their weights among many other copies. I refer to this
as "consensus learning".

I think this relies on the flawed assumption that weights can be shared.
Consider two systems, e.g. robots, that are working on a task, such as
one I'm familiar with, tightening lugnuts when changing a tire. Each robot
is not EXACTLY like any other. When learning a "tacit knowledge" task,
each robot will have different feedback due to such items as wear in
the joints. The updated weights in each system diverges, even on the
same task.

Even in knowledge-only tasks, if each system is trying to learn and they
are in different environments (e.g. reading books), they will develop weights
that are local. Given a dozen robots reading books in parallel it is not at all
clear how their weights could be combined.

Consider robots reading philosophy books or mathematics books. They
will encounter 'definitions' which have subtle or maybe not-so-subtle
differences (e.g. satire). Even such obvious ideas as "parallel" lines can
be a source of definitional argument. These new definitions change the
mapping in your Word2Vec, effectively changing the very basis of the
systems knowledge map.

I ran into this issue when working on Expert Systems years ago. Expert
Systems that kept extensive state which differed based on the environment
of their use would get "confused" when importing a rule developed elsewhere
by a different "expert".

It is my conjecture that any system that remembers and acts on prior knowledge
cannot reliably engage in consensus learning schemes. The new knowledge
has to be abstracted and taught.

This is the reason we need to teach. We have to abstract over our knowledge
and extract the high level goal states we wish to communicate. Students need
to self-adapt to these goal states.

You might disagree but methinks that proves the point. :-)

A weekend project, months later
http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/spacegunconvent... is a great website from the Before Times that includes long treaties on subjects like this (I first found it through a thing about stealth in space); when it comes to nukes, it does say the falloff is a lot higher than on earth, so yes it would have to touch the meteor. It's about using nukes to attack spaceships but the premise is the same.

> Nuclear weapons will destroy a ship if they detonate exceedingly close to it. But if it is further away than about a kilometer, it won't do much more than singe the paint job and blind a few sensors. And in space a kilometer is pretty close range.

> Please understand: I am NOT saying that nuclear warheads are ineffective. I am saying that the amount of damage they inflict falls off very rapidly with increasing range. At least much more rapidly than with the same sized warhead detonated in an atmosphere.

> But if the nuke goes off one meter from your ship, your ship will probably be vaporized. Atmosphere or no.

Nationalisation doesn’t necessarily involve expropriation; it can, but it’s not the only or even most common form it takes.

I would start with: what problem are you trying to solve?

Do governments share your belief that the problem you want to solve is an actual problem they believe needs solving? Democratic governments have elements of serving the people, all of the people, and limiting factors (like using certain technology) can be restrictive.

Or you know, we move towards a star trek society, where money isn't even a thing. The only status symbol is accomplishments / wisdom / etc, and everyone is basically working in research capacities mostly, or doctors.

A post-scarcity society where people live more sustainable (read: less consumer-based) lives, where they'd spend less if they had money but they don't need to spend less because there is no money. Money is a man-made concept, who's to say aliens with our level of intelligence or better use money for trade? Perhaps they use knowledge as currency or something else. We're going to need to think outside the box to figure out how the world works when 75% of it can't find a job.

They still modified their behaviour dramatically.

It's similar with Japan -- that also did not have much in the way of legally compelled measures. They would not have been constitutional there. But they still gave lots of financial supports to businesses and individuals to shut down offices and stay home. People complied voluntarily, at a large scale. (Japan was the kind of country where people chose, voluntarily, to wear face masks in flu season before COVID.)

In hindsight, it seems obvious to me that voluntary supports would have been adequate in a society with strong social cohesion. No one wants to get sick; give them the means to avoid it and they'll do so. Still, there is no control population without extensive social distancing; no large group of humans anywhere in the world went screw it, business as usual, no changes. So we can't say.
Nice, I missed that! Glad to hear that some sanity was injected back into the system!
I think their point is the budget should be passed seperate from any other laws. You don't say "we'll splurge on this vacation only if we agree to split washing the dishes. It's both or neither."
I think the fear is not of a lynch mob - we evolved in situations where we relied on the group for survival, and ostracism meant a much higher risk of death, whether from predation or starvation. Alternatively, any violence, even between individuals, had a higher risk of death due to bacterial infection etc.
You'd be surprised what a conversation with someone who knows someone can yield. I used to cold contact authors and sources on interesting papers, including CRS, and had a better than 50% response rate.

Same with farmers. Whenever I called to talk about alternative crops to corn, wheat, and soybeans, once they realized I wasn't trying to get them to buy anything from me, they were happy to tell me about everything they were dealing with. Granted, it may have mostly been the coffee kicking in at 4 or 5am, but they didn't hold back about every pain in their ass from city hall to the capitol.
>And I think it's fair to talk about aging as much as cancer, for example.

I agree with the underlying argument, but I must note: Cancer gets more likely with age, and the mechanisms that enable it are considered one of the (few) groups by which aging is characterized.

All these groups are co-morbid, so any progress in un-doing the damage of aging will also help with cancer.

Show HN: SineRider, a math puzzle game
Messing with your TI-84 graphing calculator is a rite of passage for every teenager who has ever been bored in a math class. In 2013 I was that teenager, and it gave me an idea for a tiny game about sledding on graphs. This project grew into my white whale, and I spent my twenties trying and failing to finish it alone. I shelved the game when I started working for Hack Club in 2018—until last May, when a few community members took it off the shelf. The project took on a life of its own, and turned into a year of nights and weekends from a global team of 20+ teens in 8+ countries. Today SineRider enters public beta!

SineRider is literally an infinite universe of function composition puzzles, each with infinite solutions, that range from welcoming for 9th graders to difficult for even the most serious matlab user. And every day we tweet out a fresh one to be solved with your morning coffee.

We hope you enjoy playing SineRider as much as we’ve enjoyed making it. And we’re not done! Mobile support, polar coordinates, and a level editor are all on the roadmap. SineRider is a living project, to be continuously built and maintained as free OSS by the Hack Club community: https://github.com/hackclub/sinerider

The team that built the game will try to be in the comments today between high school classes and AP tests.

> A majority don't. A majority use their phones/banks rather than analysing ecosystems.

Is this intended to be an argument for my point or against it?

The majority of people don't think about platform lock-in until it bites them, and money is tight and they can't afford to get an iPhone and then they sigh and buy one anyway because it's too annoying to switch.

> That is acceptable solution. Buy and then move on with life.

Like, you are laying out exactly how vendor lock-in happens, but your point seems to be that vendor lock-in is fine and we should just stop talking about it. "Yes, passkeys are vendor lock-in and I don't care" is maybe not as strong of an argument as you think it is? People like to be able to choose which phone they're going to buy.

----

> But with local will the family member send the hard disk or USB disk containing keys to recovery

No. They'll use Bitwarden or Dropbox and it'll be fine -- easier than setting up a new phone. They won't need to wonder if their new phone is compatible with anything, they won't need to wonder about whether their computer will work or not. It'll just work, immediately, as soon as their password app is installed.

Literally every single restoration/syncing option that's available for passkeys is also available for password databases, just as simple if not simpler. But you get an addition of a number of other simple solutions like:

- if you lose your phone and show up to a friend's house, you can type a password into a web browser and get all of your passwords back instantly.

- if you buy a windows computer and you have all of your passwords on an iPhone, you type a password into a web browser or an app and get all of your passwords back instantly.

None of that is supported with passkey.

Vendor lock-in does not make people's lives easier, it makes things more complicated. Do people really think that passkey is easier to back up than Bitwarden is?
That's the point, if I'm reading this thread correctly. Google/Apple/Microsoft's implementation will be going out of their way to tie it specifically to a device and biometrics.

But the total amount of mass in a nuclear weapon is actually very small. Even obscenely large weapons like the Tsar Bomba are tiny compared to the rockets that were used to travel to the moon.

Nuclear weapons can do interesting things like fusion, but it isn't going to create persistent mass when detonated.

The actual proposed weapon was a W25, with a yield of 1.7 kilotons. That size of weapon is so small may non-nuclear explosions eclipse it.
And don't forget that those $900M are based on a very high lithium price. It has dropped since and very likely will drop more.

Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC) are companies that the US federal government set up and sponsors in order to support the mortgage industry and provide liquidity to banks and other financial institutions that provide mortgages to Americans.

So if a bank offers a mortgage to a customer and the loan conforms with Fannie and Freddie's underwriting policies, Fannie and Freddie will buy it from them them. They then package some of those loans into a loan portfolio and sell it to fixed income investors.

About 70% of US mortgages are supported by Fannie and Freddie.

I hate to sound like I work for Tailwind again lol, but my current employer probably has one of the strictest set of accessibility standards when writing new code for them.

I found that the React samples on Tailwind UI, and their base component library, cover pretty much angle of accessibility.

I was working on a legacy angular upgrade to React upgrade for my employer and they were concerned I would downgrade their current compliance levels moving to Tailwinds components. I actually ended up drastically improving their compliance levels by following Tailwinds lead, and nothing was lost. For example, moving from font awesome to hero icons allowed for the ability to inject a screen reader only tag into the icon, allowing the screen reader to output an icons function.
Counterintuitively, Pixels are great for "serious privacy phobia" people, as they are one of few phones that can be flashed with a custom OS and have the bootloader locked. GrapheneOS only supports Pixels for this reason.
> So what I hear you saying is that if a normal person gets locked out of their Google account, they will also be locked out of every other website they have accounts with.

> Yikes. I guess I’ll be telling everybody to stay far away from passkeys.

This is a bit like telling everyone to stay away from password managers, just because Google offers one with Chrome that potentially disappears (taking all your passwords with it) when they nuke your account.

No, passkeys are fine. Just don't rely on a single, central provider who you consider an adversary.

> Edit: wait, what do you mean if your phone still works? Also, does this mean if you lose your phone you can’t log into anything? How do you recover from that?

If you lose your yubikey/Google authenticator/whatever TOTP, you're in a similar pickle. So then you do account recovery (recovery codes etc.)
> At the end some one needs to compromise

Sure. Google and Meta and similar companies can compromise by having proper redressal processes which will hold up in court, should they lock your account.

Being an identity provider who can take away your identity with no legal recourse is not legally tenable and will be challenged legally.

If you’re an engineer working on this, expect to get beat up by the EU on this, to start with. There is a solution though — build import & export into the spec and actually implement it well.

Google actually has done a decent job with Google Takeout. It’s worth learning from.

> opposing opinions downvoted and/or ridiculed.

I'm not so sure this is a huge effect. I often express "incorrect opinions", and get some amount of downvoting or ridicule, but not usually to a significant degree. When I've had my comments dogpiled, I can see that it happened because of how I stated my opinion more than because of the opinion itself.

How much cost in labor, disruption and time do you think upgrading every backbone router would be?

When would you have done it? When the hardware was 5 years old? 10 years old? I've been on change operations where the hardware was over a decade old and our biggest concern was making sure we had replacement PSUs on hand since the thermal shock of a reboot might take them out.

This is the problem, you have absolutely no idea what anything costs or how it works - you're simply thinking "lifting those bits sounds heavy, what if we made them lighter?" as though a committee of engineers, designers and industry didn't spend a lot of time considering exactly that problem.

If you could add 1 byte in software and be done with it, it would have already happened.
If you are holding up Houston of all places as to why trains are not a solution to transportation, you may want to look into other areas.

The use-cases and tooling around language models is very premature. So, any framework you build now will either look like bloatware or will remain close to just calling an API.

The dust around language models needs to settle a bit, for a useful framework to emerge from it.

For our own use-cases, I built a framework from scratch, and it was the best decision we made.
