You can make your license have any terms you want. You could even do something like use one of the standard licenses and add your own clause about AI to them. But do involve an attorney to help draft it if you go this route.

The bigger question is -- will it do any good? I doubt that AI scrapers are reading license agreements to ensure they're allowed to scrape sites, so the first question is -- can you detect license violations?

And the second question is -- if you can detect them, are you in a position to enforce them? If you can't afford to take a violator to court, the terms of the license don't really matter much beyond being sabre-rattling.
My gaming PC always does that while asleep at night...
It is like that old Ben Franklin quote:

“Giving up a little liberty for temporary security is totally cool, no big deal.” I think that was it at least, maybe I’m a couple words off…
How does this deal with issues where a particular regulation needs funding to have any force (such as funding a regulatory agency to enforce the regulation) and opponents of the regulation might choose to defund the agency (by removing its funding in the budget) to prevent enforcement?
I imagine the guy above is thinking any device can produce a hashed video, but I think we'll need the notion of cryptographically secure cameras or something with write once memory that has to be swapped out once in a while. The alternative being cameras that upload the hash of every clip into a server to provide non repudiation.
Capitalism is supposed to help the people via efficient allocation of resources, not make money for a select few. The original goal of any economy is to enable specialization and still provide for the basics. People aren’t just workers.
For the smart watch market, it's entirely price and features that matter. It could be that there's enough g-shock fans to sustain a product here, but it's not going to grab any of the smart watch market.

I say this as someone who loves their F91-W. It's a great watch and I like it. But I don't want to use it for the things I want to use a smartwatch for.
Out of curiosity, what does Premium do for you that is a positive? This is an earnest question, as recently my old Android phone died and I got a new iPhone.

On Android, I'd just use Newpipe[0] which I absolutely loved; they kept up with Youtube's breaking changes (usually a day-of debug build until the fix reached the main release), and it was such a nice and out of the way music player with everything you could want. (Adhoc playlists, great functionality for queue next/queue, really intuitive UI, backgrounding, etc)

On iOS, I wasn't really able to find an equivalent besides side-loading modified Youtube.app clients to enable the basic features I'd want (all of which are locked behind premium normally). Even with the premium features unlocked, the Youtube app really doesn't behave like an iOS app should, and it's significantly worse than Newpipe in my opinion.

So I'm just curious what about Premium is worth it for you and what it brings that justifies being a subscription. If the answer is just "it's the only option", I get it, can't really argue with that, but really hoping there's something I'm missing that makes Youtube Premium more palatable.

That they persecute using their law enforcement powers. The CIA operates using different powers, they don't need a warrant to surveil a subject for instance
Bomb proof but also in the off chance they do get destroyed by some force of nature...they're only like 12 bucks to replace.

I've gone through like 4 smart watches and any time I'm in a harsh environment always default back to the g-shock.
A purpose of a corporation is to enrich shareholders. It's hardly the only purpose.
What other elements did they have in them? e.g. was it your video vs police?
Yeah, isn't this the company that is notorious for screwing account holders with AI automoderation? Like the Terraria dev that was reportedly locked out of his email while working on a Stadia port.
The management team believes this is the case. They have a lot of information on the company and individual performance. Do you have any reason to believe they are wrong with this particular choice?
Nope, no deal. You can't coax physics into changing career focus. The same cannot be said for AI researchers.
Florida's greatest fight will be keeping the meth heads away from the copper before it gets put into the ground.

> Banks were forced, basically at gunpoint, to lend to extremely high-risk borrowers

Are these the same banks that were choosing to issue loans to people with no job and no assets?

>A NINJA (no income, no job, and no assets) loan is a term describing a loan extended to a borrower who may have no ability to repay the loan.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/ninja-loan.asp

Banks were making loans to anyone, taking their cut, selling those loans to investment banks on Wall Street (who also took a cut) and rolled them into collateralized mortgage backed securities, which were fraudulently marketed as having very little risk and sold to the public.

The banks didn't care if the home buyer couldn't pay, because they were just taking a cut and passing off the risk to the public.
The error you got is clientside. There's a script that audits output post-render.

Your jailbreak got you past the server-side "As an AI model..." part.
The "digital signature" description gives the impression that the signed message is encrypted with the private key and later decrypted with the public key.

Is this how message signing works in reality? I had a different mental model.
If he says this, it sounds like he doesn't understand climate change, or AI, or basic economics.

What makes AI dangerous isn't AI itself, it's the self-serving negative-sum ways in which its owners will use it. Same as with any other technology - including fossil fuels.

We default to permitting new technologies, be they big or small, without requiring their inventors to convince us that society will be better off for them. Unsurprisingly, this results in net-negative ones occasionally being developed and adopted.
The Free-Returns Party Is Over
Two that I've seen that made me laugh were "escape goat" for "scapegoat" and "water under the fridge" for "water under the bridge", I use these malaprops intentionally now.
I don't see all of the criticisms for security, but there are some fair points.

0. Gating mechanisms should live at lower and higher levels in the stack. We have 801.1x for wifi/port security and TLS between client and server.

1. DHCPv4 (and conflation with BOOTP) is messy and doesn't have a trust model. There ought to be a mechanism to validate that the DHCP server authentic, its data is valid, and it's supposed to be there. (Rogue DHCP servers can be thwarted with participation by the network gear, but requires more engineering than client simply being able to ignore bogus DHCP servers. Networks still must police and shutdown rogue endpoints nonetheless.)

2. DHCPv6 (stateful -SLAAC, stateless +SLAAC, DHCPv6-PD), SLAAC, and M and O flags make it more painful to deploy than it ought to be.

3. DNS DNSSEC/DANE hasn't really caught on (yet?). DNS needs a top-down trust model or at least make it user-friendly enough (tools) to deploy.

4. EBGP security. (Let's not talk about that.)

In general:

i. Optional features don't get used.

ii. Complexity is a barrier to adoption and a source of security issues.

iii. Over-simplicity is another source of security issues and a source of lacking functionality.
No worries! Thanks for replying, though - thinking "there _must_ be a quote, I just don't know it / can't find it" woulda bugged me :)
Eliezer Yudkowsky's six-minute TED talk on AI
He gets a standing ovation at the end, which is nice to see.

Apparently this was released by accident and the youtube copy has been set to 'private', but luckily some quick-witted person downloaded it and has put a copy where it can be found.

I made a copy of that with:

$ wget https://files.catbox.moe/qdwops.mp4

and I'd be happy to stick that somewhere if this one disappears.

Just in case anyone needs to be reassured that this is a thing that can be believed by at least two people, I endorse what he's saying here wholeheartedly, and I don't think we've got very long left at all.

Timescales are the dodgiest bit of this whole argument, and all we have is intuition, but I'd be absolutely amazed if humanity still existed in ten years time, and pleasantly surprised if we make it to the end of this year.
Equally easy is one way of saying it. Equally hard is another.
Ask HN: Hard to Measure Design Decisions?
Some major design decisions like type safety , rdbms and monorepo have seen trends transition in favor , against and back again.

What are some good examples of “big” design decisions that are hard to measure conclusively?

- type-safety (eg perl/python/php were first made popular by lacking it, and now we are returning to it)

- rdbms vs nosql

- monorepo vs microservices

Others ?

This isn’t about advocating . Let’s think about what other concepts are hard to reach a conclusion about and why measuring success can be difficult .
I agree. They simply fail to identify their niche here, or at least miss the mark.
It’s not necessarily clear, but it’s also definitely not clear that the layoffs will be detrimental to the company either. The title of these types of articles implies that the dividend and the layoff are at odds with each, which they aren’t.
But to be completely fair Brightline is only running passengers on a portion of this route (yet) between Miami and West Palm Beach, but so is the state of California, which is actually moving passengers today on both the Caltrain corridor between SF and Gilroy and the LOSSAN corridor between LA union station and Anaheim.
Exactly, every time you deal with info from CIA and related orgs, you need to understand that their job is to lie and deceive for a particular goal. There is no reason whatsoever to think that what they're saying is true, unless it is strongly corroborated by other facts and reports.
Trucks also produce the lions' share of the noise pollution. Don't laugh, noise pollution is very serious; it causes cognitive damage to people who live near busy roads which in turn has innumerable deleterious social effects.
They’re expensive simply because people will pay that much.
What part of faceless hordes of back office paper pushers rendered economically unviable seems like science fiction to you?
It's the difference between wanting an easy answer to a question and wanting information to process on your own. You would have to apply critical thinking when reading Postman's texts to know what he might think about GPT-4 because he never actually wrote about it directly.

The prompt here wasn't something like "give me summaries of Postman's writings so that I can draw my own conclusions about what he would think," it was "tell me what to believe." It's the action and approach that matters.
Neat. I do a lot with RabbitMQ and have MQTT knowledge, so I'll check this out.

Would something like Kafka be workable in this space?
Climate change is not urgent, it’s a very slow process.
We were at the bottom of a little ice age, not surprisingly, it’s warming up.
We will have transitioned away from fossil fuel before climate change is a real concern.
>So yesterdays recruit is tomorrows terrorist.

That is a by product of the decades old, failed, and terrible US Policy of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" which has causes more global destabilization, and hardship worldwide than anything since Communism left the world stage.
You can build exactly the same application even if you throw different amounts of money at it.

Large corpo spends 2M on a CRUD app and is happy with the result (e.g. consider it a success).

Another organisation (with more skilled people) builds exactly the same thing for just 50K, and also consider it a success.

The fact that it’s a success doesn’t mean that it wasn’t silly.

Sorry kind of lost track of the original thread here too.
Quick dumb question: does it seem like saying AI development is a threat to the climate a convenient excuse to put a stop to a technology that is disruptive to existing corporations and systems of power?
It’s a good idea to read about it so one can learn what a bad idea it is.
Sorry but couldn’t disagree more strongly about reliability and stability. Those are afterthoughts because a buggy, unreliable service that solves a critical pain point for a customer is fixable, but a perfectly operational service that doesn’t do much for people isn’t.

Startups trying to find a market need to cut every corner imaginable to minimize any work that isn’t related to finding the customer, as this is the existential crisis.
It’s a great way to get all of your good employees to leave (because they will easily line up a new role).
Counterterrorism/counterintelligence is law enforcement (terrorism & spying against the US is a crime), and it is FBI’s primary mission.
heh, $1.5B...

Ill never forget a particular night in 1998 or 1997 smoking a cigarette at 1AM on the balcony at SC5 Intel...

There was another employee smoking on the balcony with me, and he asked what I did there...

"I test games on our new procs, what do you do?"

He said

"I am working on trying to figure out how to update our financial systems such that they can handle fields for values greater than a billion dollars."

This was the first time I had ever even thought about companies making more than a billion bucks.
One of the authors also wrote this book, "The Case For Discrimination" where he argues that companies and individuals should be allowed to discrimate against whoever they like.

https://cdn.mises.org/The%20Case%20for%20Discrimination%20Wa...

A few soundbites from that book which show that this guy is pretty disgusting:

> When women enter in the military in any great numbers, it will be a threat to the entire human race.

> Today, we consider the silver lining involved in term limits: it reduces the percentage of female politicians.

> It is eminently reasonable to bet that some black kid can dunk the basketball and some Oriental kid with thick glasses can solve the quadratic equation. If this be racism, well, so much the worse for me; it is just common sense applied to a sensitive issue. Here is another example Walter Williams offers. Suppose you go into a room and you see a tiger sitting on a couch. What do you do? You have two courses of action. One, you could be prejudiced against tigers and close the door (laughter) and sort of hold the door there and call the cops or the animal control people. Or you can be unprejudiced, don’t pre-judge tigers, don’t profile this tiger on the
basis of previous tiger behavior. Here, you go up to the tiger, and say “Hey, what’s happenin’ tiger?” (laughter) “How’s it shakin’?” and
you try to give him a high-five. Or, you ask him “Are you vicious?” You are open-minded: just because every other tiger you’ve ever met will bite, you stay open to the possibility that maybe this tiger won’t. If this is racism (or species-ism), make the most of it. This sort of thinking is just behaving on the basis of empirical evidence. Or, to get back to what I was talking about, the same applies to making the claim that blacks have a lower productivity than whites, on average. There are various theories as to why this should be. People on the left say, This is due to racism, or a vestige of slavery. In the view of Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray, it is based on IQ. But I am not interested in why this is the case. I am only interested in the conclusion: on average, blacks have lower productivity. That’s why they have lower wages, not because of prejudice and discrimination

Yeah, I think I will get my ethical views from someone else.
I'm always confused as I thought taking race or gender into account was not just racist or sexist, but also against the law
The techno-anarchist utopia is neo-feudalism.

They just hope to be on top this time.
I guess if this was regulated to be optional or regulated in such a way that it could only be used for keeping keys on-device and couldn't be used for locking out other devices from making accounts, then I'd be OK with it.

But we don't have those regulations in the US, and banks here shouldn't have access to this. We are so behind on security, it just doesn't make sense to give them yet another tool to lock down devices while they're ignoring everything else they could be doing. I would at least advocate for some kind of pact from FIDO Alliance members that attestation will only be implemented for devices sold in countries that have that kind of regulation.

Or, maybe there's a way to do attestation where it's entirely user opt-in and isn't something that the service provider can dictate? Or maybe there's a way to do it where it can't be used to verify the OS/manufacturer during signup, and can only be used to verify that it's the same device where the credentials were created? I think I'd be OK with that existing.
This raises Canada's copyright term to match that of the US, most of South America, most of Europe, Russia and most former USSR states, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and a few others.
Nothing new in Indonesia, a supposedly pluralistic country where the parliament opens with Muslim prayer anyway. If a sex tape of yours get stolen and published, they'll drag you to court for "making pornography". When this happens to someone famous, their first defense is "It's fake!".
IANAL, but one sensible reason could be that the CIA investigates in a manner which is not always consistent with the FBI's rules for gathering evidence. Sharing the wrong information could poison prosecution.
Hindsight is 20/20, though. The narrative from the company isn’t that “we purposefully overhired and are now laying the excess off for fun”, it’s that they believed they would have use for the excess given the trajectory of the company and the overall economy but they were mistaken. Which is not particularly strange - the future is famously hard to predict.
Plus Desktop PCs are basically dead.
Geohot has never shipped anything (except two hacks he stole on a forum).

He joined Twitter just few months ago boasting how he can run Twitter with 5 guys and he alone will fix search & UI (he fixed nothing and quit a few weeks later).

So I'd be really happy if we stop propagandizing this tech bro bullshit that suggests everyone in the industry is just twiddling their thumbs all day, and start respecting the work of our colleagues more.
This is why shareholders like AI, they can spare unneeded workers.
> Shared data structures? Common library? Services have an API. If you are sharing data structures and a common "core" library across services, yes, you are officially doing it wrong

Quite correct. Each service should have it's own duplicated copy of `someUtilityFunction()`.

Then instead of applying 100 fixes to it you can have 100 different behaviours for some pice of business logic.

/s
> Wouldn't the actual power be with the courts who would be the people convicting anyone accused of a crime by either FBI or CIA

Now let's think about how this would work.

The CIA obtains some information on a US citizen who is suspected of a crime, using methods that would be a violation of their constitutional rights, and therefore not be admissible as evidence against them in court.

The CIA can then (a) not share the information with the FBI; (b) share it with them, but they are not allowed to use it for anything because of how it was obtained; or (c) share it with them, and then they use it via parallel construction, in violation of the constitutional rights of the accused, and without revealing where they actually got it, causing "public trials" to become mendacious and opaque.

But (b) and (c) are the same thing, because the only use of (b) is to let (c) happen in secret.
I'm sure you're correct and those are out there. I just see almost exclusively ones that look like this: https://cdn.carbuzz.com/gallery-images/2023-ford-f-150-rear-...
