Totally agree. Scanning horizontally makes it hard on the eyes.

> Why HN is so defensive against copilot but have a completely different opinion about MidJourney / StableDiffusion?

I've seen this question posted on HN so many times in defence of Copilot but I have yet to encounter people who fit what you're describing: people in general raise a lot of issues with MidJourney/StableDiffusion/&c. too.

HN is particularly defensive when it comes to Copilot because Copilot deals with sourcecode which is central to the daily vocation of a large portion of HN's readership. HN focuses on Copilot because they're subject matter experts in what Copilot trains on.

Also - as mentioned in siblings - while criticisms of training material sourcing by various ML models is common, there are quite a few details that makes Copilot's sourcing that little bit worse.

> it's inevitable and artists need to up their game

If this is your answer it seems you didn't even bother to read the title (never mind the article). There are two issues with Generative AI to discuss: input and output. Your answer addresses output - i.e. fear that what is produced may compete with humans. This article, and the vast majority of HN criticism of Copilot exclusively addresses input: objection to copyrighted works being used to train models without author consent. These are two entirely separate discussions.
That's a big if. Also, this is nearly forty years ago. With chip designs, there was a clear cut case of people taking each other's designs and some of the parties were billion $ chip companies being very grumpy about other companies taking their heavily patented solutions and copying those. Which translates into a lot of political pressure and lobby power and some political action. I don't see that happening for language models.

Most of the people complaining seem to be a narrow subset of open source developers that like open source but not people doing anything for profit with their source code. I.e. not your typical multi billion dollar companies that are worried about their IP getting stolen. So, not a lot of lobbying power or ability to get organized.
None, it's just misinformation.
Five hard, slow years of bootstrapping a SaaS
It's a bit anticlimactic how the hype is just dying down and everyone involved is just pretending they weren't just weeks ago crying wolf about the whole thing. Still I feel vindicated in my early assessment that it was mostly just empty hype about some chatbot.
For example, understanding why certain estimators give you the average treatment effect on treated individuals rather than the average treatment effect on everyone is easier if you understand the mathematics of it. But you need to know basic probability and mathematical statistics.

Causal mediation analysis is similar if you want to understand what assumptions you really need to make to talk about the mechanisms through which a treatment effect acts on the outcome.

I agree. I mentioned in a thread below that these frameworks are useful for discovering appropriate index-retrieval strategy that works best for you product.

On PGVector, I tried to use LangChains class (https://python.langchain.com/en/latest/modules/indexes/vecto...) but it was highly opinionated and it didn't make sense to subclass nor implement interfaces so in this particular project I did it myself.

As part of implementing with SQLModel I absolutely leaned on https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector :)

Thanks for the observation.

As far as I know, rights and licenses don't work with suggestions like "please". Either embed it in your COPYING/LICENSE files so the initial 'uploading to github' action would be illegal, or take legal action agains the main offender (which, in this case GitHub).

Thanks for making this app and it saves a few steps from downloading the books directly and playing them through Dropbox or some other app that plays mps3.

I don’t understand the subscription angle from a user standpoint. Why is this $10/year? There’s no per user costs for you. I wanted to purchase the app as its quite convenient, but having a subscription for what I expect to use for the rest of my life doesn’t seem wise to me.

Also coupled with the fact that I have a family so I’d need to pay $50/year just to listen to free librevox recordings.
I agree. But there is a novel called Termination Shock written by a fairly well known author about the danger involved in just stopping. Don't understand it myself
I like your license. Hopefully this works out for you!
It's worth reminding that we already had a solution to the games with hackers problem: smaller community-run servers where people can get to know each other. But game companies want the centralized model so that they can stay in control of how the game is used to continuously monetize it and to forcefully retire it once they want to push a newer one.

Hackers are mainly only problem for anonymous ranked matchmaking. That's not to say cheaters don't exist without it but they are a) much less disruptive b) have much smaller reach and therefore c) are less motivated.

Like most ills being used to push anti-user technology, cheating is primarily a problem created by the industry itself.
Looks reasonable to me; but this analysis doesn't really try to grapple with the political consequences of the coercive vaccination campaigns backed up by what were, as far as I can tell, human rights violations:

1) Massive and public damage done to the cause of liberty. Picking a minor, I wouldn't want to imagine the looks that someone protesting the Roe v. Wade overturning got if they tried to chant "my body, my choice!". There is firm precedent now for a generation that your body, government's choice. We're more likely to regret that than a few people hurting/killing themselves out of stupidity refusing to take a vaccine as the authoritarians start making more invasive demands.

2) Forcing someone to do something against their volition, followed up by the rather obvious point that the coercers were acting without full information or particularly good intent (see: "Why did COVID become so polarizing?"), will have consequences just from the bad blood it created. There are some angry, angry people out there now. People who have a very compelling argument that it is acceptable to coerce your political opponents and punish them in disproportionate ways.

3) It still isn't obvious that the all in cost/benefits of the policies were worth it factoring in 2nd order effects and opportunity costs. We're staring at nuclear war between the two countries with the largest arsenals right now. It might have been worth just ignoring COVID, letting people make their own choices for better or worse and focusing on not finding a diplomatic peace in the northern hemisphere. The nuclear war risk is probably higher than the COVID risk, although a lot more all-or-nothing. It was almost completely ignored because of the resources spent trying to keep unwilling people inside their own homes. Also the global economy overall is in a terrible place, the damage is incalculable but large and probably comparable to losing 1% of the population. There is a famine problem out there [0].

A well-meaning analysis and noting that 1% of the population could die doesn't really capture the trade offs here. 1% of the world is going to die every year anyway; doubling that is bad. Normalising, justifying and defending mass suspensions of human rights is, amazingly, probably going to be worse.

Don't share and license your code permissively then.

People want the benefits of publicly sharing stuff, but then they want to prohibit others from learning from what they share.

There are many options to keep things private. The downside is that you won't get the same exposure.
To be clear (apologies if I haven't made it so) this is not an LLM. This is an implementation of Rasa leveraging Langchain under the hood.

A user technically does not need to dig into Langchain themselves, but they would want to if they find their query results sub-optimal.

There are a many indexing strategies and superficial parameters you could modify to tune output response. They are mentioned in the README.md.
The bad drives away the good. Also known as the bad neighborhood effect.

This is the problem with the whole crypto ecosystem. There are so many scams and dubious get rich quick schemes that the entire ecosystem develops a reputation for being a scam. Crypto is a bad neighborhood, and nobody wants to live in a bad neighborhood.

This drives away all the people who would otherwise make it a better neighborhood. It’s a death spiral.

At this point everything web3 is associated in most peoples minds with stupid things like bored apes, scams, and fools who lost their life’s savings on such things.

At the end of the day pragmatism will survive. Sure, if the OP cant put a simple SIM card to get it resolved then he/she can buy from nitrokey/other installed GrapheneOS.

The basic premise of all these authentication/fingerprint/passkeys/whatever is to benefit the COMMON public. Telling a mother of 3 to keep keypassxc backup elsewhere (in a RAID with 3-2-1 offsite is impractical).

Also all these experts that write in HN often join some company and implement closed-source. Yes, life sucks if one uses 'linux' phone

- Banks don't care
- If one is so against passkey gang then they should do something to make sure an average mum can use tech safely - see the state of PGP (very complex) - but signal/whatsapp is awesome.
- Whether or not you like Cisco DUO becomes more of less default
- Github/gitlab is developers world. Sure codeberg exists: I opened an issue asking them if they can help me configure runners - no help at all.
- Also many of the devs say all open/free/etc but finally they do consume NetFlix, Prime etc (Yes, they have Apple TV or chromecast in addition to FrameWork (and RAID + 3-2-1).
- Average Joe can't afford Framework. Get an ad-infested smartTV. Live with Google or Apple.
Not entirely sure why this is getting downvoted. Passkey is the only non-phishable authentication mechanism that works out-of-the-box on billions of devices. That is huge value from a security perspective.
This looks like a nice project, but you lose a lot of credibility by having ChatGPT write your comment.

This kind of post instantly repels any desire to seriously interact with you in any meaningful way (at least in me). If English is not your first language, I'd simply say so and then run your own text through deepl.com or something if you think you have to. If your grammar is lacking, use whatever tool for that on your own writing.

Throwing up generic drivel with triple repetition of key facts that sounds like a madlib question straight out of an online marketing crash course is disrespectful to the reader and detrimental to your credibility.

I'm speaking only for myself, of course, and others may disagree. Sorry if this is off-topic.

Basically, for hardware backed devices like phones and physical security keys, there's an attestation certificate that is shared by all devices of that model. This can allow a site that wants higher security for some reason to require this kind of proof that the key is protected from copying in hardware (eg bound to a specific device and can't be stolen via malware, theoretically) due to it being a model known to be secure. I'm not aware of specific sites requiring this though.

It is recommended that sites don't require it:
"It is important to be aware that requiring attestation is an invasive policy, especially when used to restrict users' choice of authenticator. For some applications this is necessary; for most it is not. [...] When in doubt, err towards being more permissive, because using a passkey is more secure than not using a passkey. [...] we recommend that you do not require a trusted attestation unless you have specific reason to do so."

Ironic using the inside voice name on an outside article about the importance of outside communication.

True nevertheless- this is a critical role, not just an activity.
My ed25519 keys can't decrypt my secrets due to a parsing error somewhere. I can still use okc-ssh-agent to SSH into places, but I cannot decrypt my passwords, which is kind of a big deal. It's because of this I'll probably migrate to a self-hosted bitwarden and use FIDO auth with my yubikey. I'll still use the GPG key for SSH authentication, but boy is this a mess I don't have any time for.

And when I say I don't have the time for, I tried to get OpenKeychain to use a newer version of BouncyCastle, which should support my encrypted files just fine, but boy do I not have the knowledge to deal with changes in a project's gradle structure. I think the root of the issue is that newer versions of GPG have changed the format of the ciphertext in a way that the bouncy castle version OpenKeychain is using doesn't parse. Anyway, I do not feel confident in mucking about in crypto code. Maybe there's hope in just porting a front-end of pass that uses a plain ported GPG implementation instead.
Well, I have a DJI gathering dust here because of drone flight rules that seeds me to drive a couple hours before I can fly it.

Last time I recorded video with the drone I am suprised there is a SRT file bundled. Turns out that is the telemetry data in plain text recorded at 10 Hz. It should be trivial to write a script that transform it into KML or some GIS-friendly format.

And I am sure I do not need any shareware for this...
It requires abstraction. Something that LLMs are not capable of, beyond trivial amounts.

> 6502 does not allow any stack-pointer-relative operations

Almost not true. All you have to do is add the TSX instruction, which moves stack pointer into X register, then use absolute indexed addressing mode in which address of the memory operand is computed by adding together the absolute address specified in the instruction and the X register value. For example the instructions `TSX; LDA $0105, X` will load into A the byte in the stack which is 5 bytes up from the stack pointer. Cost for this is being unable to use the X register for something else. Addition also doesn't wrap around the stack page.
If revenue they bring is estimated you may only need relative comparison.

After all if dev team days that more perspective project is very likely cheaper to make, why would you choose the other one?

See? No need for detailed answers if there is sufficient difference in qualities.
Can anyone explain in a simple, practical way how you would actually use this?
This is cool. I like text based news sites like http://text.npr.org

I feel it makes me more mindful while scrolling.

Is there a link to the code?
So far it does not.

I have not pushed it though because I'm making my own 3D engine to go with the backend: http://talk.binarytask.com/task?id=5959519327505901449

That said, I think it's the only way forward.

Both the tech and the license needs openness.

Unfortunately open-source means free forever, while "source available" got the backseat and allows money to be involved.

Not explicitly but indirectly through "you can just download and compile it yourself" for "free".

This is also an incentive to make build systems opaque, another trend I have noticed.

Eventually compiling something will take weeks and months to setup. XD
Roald Dahl, of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fame, wrote a non-fiction account about one such unreported find, the Mildenhall Treasure.

The "termination shock" in Stephenson's eponymous novel is that (in the novel) a successful large scale effort to change the climate is underway, and people don't want to turn it off because they like its effects (though others don't like its effects).
"Because what we are witnessing is the wealthiest companies in history (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon …) unilaterally seizing the sum total of human knowledge that exists in digital, scrapable form and walling it off inside propriety products, many of which will take direct aim at the humans whose lifetime of labor trained the machines without giving permission or consent." Oof.
I don't think there are good prompts for this. ChatGPT sees the world in tokens, not letters. That makes it an uphill battle to make it reason about individual letters. It's not impossible (it can tell you the first letter or the number of letters of words with decent accuracy) but it certainly has a harder time than a human raised on words composed of letters has.

This would be a good usecase for networks trained on letters instead of tokens, but I'm not sure if any big ones exist, since for 99% of tasks tokens are just better
The part where they are the sole implementors of the spec.

One of the more interesting parts of the PSVR2 is that it proves that the PS5 is the only console that can output two different video streams independently (HDMI and the front USB-C port). PSVR1 did some passthrough hack.

Imagine the possibilities if Microsoft had actually added multiple HDMI ports on the Xbox Series X:

- screen mirroring for capture cards without passthrough

- native single console multiscreen cockpit view modes for Forza

- Split screen Halo/Goldeneye without actually splitting the screen - LAN party with one console

- minimaps, HUDS on separate screens like the Wii U

- Discord / chat on a seperate screen while streaming

- support for the ecosystem of actually sometimes quite high quality Windows Mixed Reality VR headsets

I wonder if they could technically add more video out ports via the PCI-E based expansion card slot...

Unresolved conflicts and civil disagreement whil eventually compromising is what democracy is all about..
The PSVR2 turned out not to actually use VirtualLink, just more-or-less standard DisplayPort + USB 3 + USB PD over USB-C. Most of the compatibility issues seem to be from it requiring parts of the spec that aren't widely implemented at the same time, like 12V support and display compression. The main open question is how to actually switch it into VR mode so that it's possible to send a stereo image instead of 2D virtual cinema mode, and I don't think anyone is quite sure whether this helps with that at the moment.
Selling an older iPhone SE for $199 in emerging markets would be a smart move
This is wrong:

1. even average people do appreciate the fact that the thing is an open protocol, even if they do not comment about it or understand it or seem to care.

2. average people do follow some leaders when deciding where to move, and the leaders are people that mostly care about these things -- these are the ones being tricked.
Nothing unless they're on only ones to provide it, or their implementations are the only "trusted" or accepted versions third parties allow you to use.
Attestation is more like:
The passkey is from this model of security key/phone.

That can then be used to have a list of allowed devices if you really need hardware backed security for example (eg you provide all your users in your org with specific security keys and don't want them registering anything else). It's not recommended to use the attestation part unless you really need it though as it restricts user choice.
After the success of EME, why would anyone expect any different?
