I don't understand how what you say relates to what was said. You don't need to trust Google/Microsoft for your Passkeys, you can use a Yubikey, or whatever else you want.

If Google wants to only accepts its own Passkeys to log in to your Google account, that's as much its choice as any other site has for its authentication.

When you use ChatGPT a lot you start to recognize certain patterns.

In this case, there’s 3 paragraphs of text, but there isn’t 3 paragraphs worth of information.

So what likely happened is that the OP provided limited context to the AI and asked it to write a 3-paragraph post based on it which it happily obliged to.

It feels like GPT-3.5. I think GPT-4 generally does a better job at these types of texts.
You got it backwards: reading books is a lot more like television than interacting with GPT-4. Why do you assume one would apply more critical thinking when reading Postman's original texts than when reading GPT-4 writings about them? I'm starting to think you haven't spent much time with GPT-4. The quality is the key here.

Yes, but those are kind of the opposite. The Defenestrations of Prague were the less powerful defenestrating the more powerful; the Defenestrations of Russia are (we presume) the more powerful removing the less powerful.

> I really like living in a place where "permanent allergy to red meat" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblyomma_americanum) isn't a thing

From that Wikipedia link:

Non-primate mammalian.

Plot twist: cannibalistic cultures as adaptations to living in areas highly permeated by organisms spreading alpha-gal meat allergy.
Equating human cognition with machine algorithms is the root of the issue, and a significant part of its "legitimacy" comes from the need for "AI" companies to push their products as effective, and there's no better marketing than to equate humans to machines. Not even novel.
The insurance claims representatives interfacing with customers follow a script and will often select car price comparisons lower than your specific cars value. In the US, the insurance company should also pay exactly what the equivalent replacement car is worth, but if the customer isn't paying attention it leaves room for them to profit. If the customer complains with supporting evidence, then the insurance will act in accord with the law, but if the customer is unaware or doesn't care, then that's a win for the insurer.

I imagine similar situations occur in Austria or Germany, wherever people and profit are involved really.

You could implement a Dual LLM Pattern Model https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/25/dual-llm-pattern/

You could also leverage a concept like Kor which is a kind of pydantic for LLMs: https://github.com/eyurtsev/kor

Show HN: Krisi, report forecasting performance over time
Hi HN,

We realised that tracking the performance of our predictions over time was crucial to choose, debug and fine-tune our forecasting model.

So we built Krisi (https://github.com/dream-faster/krisi) to help you with tracking metrics over time and generate informative reports.

We'll be here answering questions - would love to hear your feedback!

Here is the related blog post: https://www.appliedexploration.com/p/say-goodbye-to-collapse...
> People want things to be simple.

As a reminder, if you ask what the best way is to back up a Yubikey, the advice is:

- Buy a second Yubikey

- Store it in a separate physical location, preferably within a fireproof safe

- Whenever you make a new account, set yourself a reminder to go get your second Yubikey, log in with the first Yubikey and then go through whatever process the site has (on a site-by-site basis without a consistent UI) and add the second Yubikey as another credential.

- Then go back to whatever secondary location you've chosen and put the second Yubikey back.

- And then repeat that process every single time you make a new account.

In contrast, dragging a KeePassXC vault into a Dropbox folder one time and just leaving it there and using it from Dropbox is incredibly simple and I feel like pretty much anyone is capable of doing that.
>And just slightly changing the code seems trivial, at what point will it be acceptable?

If I start creating a car by using a blueprint of Fords to create something at what point will it be acceptable? I'd say even if you rework everything completely Ford would still have a case to sue you. I can't see how this is any different. My code is my code and no matter how much you change it, it is still under the same licence as it started out with. If you want it not to be then don't start with a part of my code as a base. In my opinion the case is pretty clear: This is only going on because Microsoft has lots of money and lawyers. A small company doing this would be crushed.
It seems to me that is the same problem as Single Sign On, and I think there simply needs to be legislation to make it not possible to monopolise markets this way (or just enforce the existing legislation on the topic).

WebAuthn/FIDO are not the issue here.
I'd first want to see generative AI trained on 100% non-copyrighted (or properly licensed for the purpose) works. I'm pretty sure that copyright laws will be adapted in the next years to cover AI/training usage, so people will need proper licensing for that. Not saying that copyright is good or bad or anything else, that's just my intuition about the next years...
> Even if a project is not hosted on GitHub, other people have the legal right (depending on the license) to redistribute the source code. It means that they have the right to share the code of others on GitHub, as long as they respect the terms of license. This is totally legal. But then, Copilot will be able to analyze the code and violates the license terms, which isn’t.

While encouraging people to not distribute code via Github may mitigate the issue some, the actual issue is how Github has mass-automated the process of violating open source licenses. Github should pay a fine for every suggestion Copilot produces that violates a software license, plain and simple. Don't blame the people that unknowingly upload code to the training dataset.
Ask HN: Review this startup idea of a chat interface based social media manager
Hi HN,

I've been building Socialr - a chat interface based social media manager. Using Socialr, you can manage your socials by just chatting with the platform.

Some use cases:
- like all the tweets that mentioned me in the past 7 days
- post [the post] on LinkedIn tomorrow at 12 AM
- tweet motivational quotes encouraging people to wake up at 4 AM every day 4 AM
- post [image] on Instagram & generate a caption based on the image, also add engaging hashtags

Here's how a typical chat with the platform would look like: https://twitter.com/iamHammadNasir/status/1655523668980826113?s=20

You can watch the demos here if interested:

Would you be willing to pay for using this?

Thank you for your answer. Actually it’s perfectly doable, just put an outcome swimlane in your kanban, with a rule that says there can only be one card in the « doing » column.

I’m starting to realize that most people don’t know how customizable Kanban is. You can put as many columns and swimlanes as you want, and then implement constraints in the system with rules around how cards move on the board.
I find the whole idea that we shouldn't study something because of imagined consequences repulsive. "If we knew these facts, people might behave badly, therefore we should enforce ignorance."

It's weird to me that the budget of a government is a bill at all. A budget is a budget, and a law is a law.
From seeing the purchasing side of academic journals, I definitely don't think that Elseiver is the only journal publisher, or that they act differently than anyone else, and I agree that popular discussion often thinks they are more special than they are.

But what they are is indeed the biggest one. And, from the purchasing side, one thing that gives them is the ability to get universities into these giant package deals. (I also wouldn't be surprised if they have bigger profit margins than their competitors -- but of course their for-profit competitors would love to be as profitable and are doing their best).

Mostly I think it's much more complicated than "as long as universities use prestige of journals published in to decide tenure, journal publishers will be able to extract enormous profits from universities."

For reasons I've tried to touch upon.

I think while you are perhaps a reformed populist, you are perhaps still as interested in over-simplified one-factor explanations as you used to be, you've just flipped em.

Why shouldn't this editorial board be able to take their "prestige" with them to the new journal they are founding, with the purpose of being more affordable? (I agree there are reasons this is probably not going to lead to widespread changes in the market, but I don't think it's because they can't take the journal's prestige with them in this individual case, I don't see any reason why not).

What about fields like computer science where tenure decisions, while still based on publication, are not generally based on publication in for-profit journals from Elsevier or anyone else?

Another thing to look at in the market is the transition from print to electronic that happened over the past honestly not much more than 20 years, in which I believe it could be shown that % of university acquisitions budgets spent on journals as well as profit margins of publishers have skyrocketed -- but I don't believe academic's interest in "prestige" used to be a lot less.

I agree that tenure and promotion processes are pretty broken, I'm not trying to defend them. I just don't think they are a one-note explanation of the academic publishing market.

But I certainly identify with being really frustrated with academia and how it works. It's a mess.

I'm still curious if you work for a journal publisher or used to.

The point of this move is to move the country higher up in the processing and profit chain because right now they are not the ones processing the lithium or making the batteries. They are in a unique position and this absolutely is the best move for them. The biggest loser for this is China. Chile is aiming to eat their (EV) lunch.

Ticketmaster outrage has exactly the same effect as complaints against Google.

Average Joe has no idea whatsoever how to complain and get noticed. That's like saying "If shoplifting were so common there would be police in every store." Nope, it's just the cost of doing business.

Cloud backup works for average users. That includes keypass. Heck, even HN users do it that way. The only difference is that we have 16 word DiceWare passwords and key files on YubiKey devices.

The scariest problem to me isn't centralization, it's a lack of recourse when things go wrong.

Why would they bother trying to track you through a specification which is specifically designed to make it hard to track users? If you're using one of these software-based SSO lock-in "tokens" then they can get all the information they want from telemetry (nee spyware) on the device.
It pays far too much and fat wads of cash are in everyone's mind as these debates surface. "Better for everyone", "human equality", "UBI", yada yada. Debaters then like to name-drop "No true scotsman" and "purity spiralling" for either side. It's just that tech marketing claims it's a small group of technical wizards, while in reality it's the largest novel corporate interest of the last fifty years and it hasn't been about the little guy for decades. The industry is practically vampiric on naive hopefuls. Well, at least some of them get paid.
For someone outside the US those names are only associated with the financial crisis. I don't even know what they are and honestly thought they were another Lehman brothers that didn't exist anymore, so your comment read like a joke.
There should be a new open-source license specifically designed to restrict the use of code for commercial purposes, whether it involves training machine learning models or not. It could be similar to GPL but tailored specifically for the field of machine learning, ensuring that the code cannot be utilized for ML commercial purposes or trained without limitation.

If Edison goes over to Tesla’s house and looks at the latest invention on Tesla’s workbench, then goes to his factory and builds the same thing and sells it, then Edison has stolen and copied Tesla’s invention.

If Edison breaks into Tesla’s house at night, takes* the invention off his workbench, goes to his factory and uses it as a reference to build and sell the same thing, then Edison has stolen and copied Tesla’s invention.

In both cases we can say “stolen and copied”, but actual sequence of events and the legal recourse that Tesla has is different in each case.

This difference matters because open source is like Tesla having his workbench in a public place where people are encouraged to watch him work, play around with the inventions, help him build, etc. In the “Tesla’s public workbench” situation, Tesla’s recourse is debatably impacted in the first scenario, but it is definitely unchanged in the second scenario. Arguing as though Copilot is doing “second scenario stealing and copying” rather than “first scenario stealing and copying” sidesteps that debate about whether open sourcing your code made it ‘up for grabs’ for natural and/or artificial intelligences to learn from and/or memorize. Now, it’s not clear what side will win that debate - I personally think “this has infringed intellectual property rights” has a decent chance of being the victor. But sidestepping that debate is setting off peoples’ “you’re trying to pull a fast one” alarm and making them unsympathetic. That’s what I’m getting at here.

*: to avoid “steal vs copy depriving of property”-type discussions, postulate that Edison returns the invention to the workbench before Tesla notices

As to the linked article, I would quote from the article itself: “[The paper] is dense with nuance that could potentially be molded to fit a particular narrative”. I could say more: both the article and the paper state there were zero byte-identical matches, and 203 direct or perceptual near matches out of 175 million generations (or out 160 million training images) is 0.0001%, which argues against this very strong claim of “factually and provably incorrect”. But I think the argument I will actually make is this: I said Copilot was synthesizing identical code from its knowledge base, which is completely compatible with the claim that it is outputting code from memory (in the human sense of memory). What it is not compatible with is the claim that it is outputting code from memory (in the computer sense of memory).

> The problem is that the State exists to abuse the rights of the people

The state exists for a multiplicity of reasons - some of which are harmful and some of which are beneficial.

And if the state doesn't exist then other actors will step in to and will also do a mixture of harm and good.

Any attempt to handwave away the nuance just sounds silly.

Excellent. “People” are also folks with mortgages and kids - they need their work protected instead of looted by corporations. Similarly, open source code needs licensing honoured. This way there will be an incentive to pay those who’s intellect is used for training machine learning. A win win situation.
That's not a rule in Scrum that I'm aware of. It's an aspiration for sure since an injection implies some sort of emergency or unanticipated work. Ideally you avoid those sort of things. But if they happen it's not an issue to inject something. Constantly doing so usually means something has broken down in planning and/or quality is so bad the team is going from fire to fire.

Just out of curiosity, what are you studying now that you feel is laughable?
But this means that Microsoft is publishing a black box (Copilot) that contains GPL code.

If we think of Copilot as a (de)compression algorithm plus the compressed blob that the algorithm uses as its database, the algorithm is fine but the contents of the database pretty clearly violate GPL.
