Extremely disingenuous to include employer taxes in personal income taxes to make whatever point you're making. Might as well toss in the costs of accounting in there while you're at it.

Edit: I'm being throttled from posting but response below:

There are a lot of factors that go into deciding the gross pay that an employee receives. What you are doing is muddying the waters to make a point but it just makes it trickier to compare. If you are an employee that is deciding where to live and work, the specific employer taxes make no difference to you -- what matters is your net pay and the services you get for the taxes paid. The rest of the costs, including things like parental leave, time off, and healthcare have already played into deciding your wage.

I'm also not sure why you included health insurance costs for the US total but not the 12-14% regressive UK national insurance tax or the regressive 20% VAT for the UK total unless you're deliberately trying to argue in bad faith. I'm suggesting comparing apples to apples. There's enough to criticize as is.
I’m guessing it keeps you logged in, will scroll/handle text more natively than the web, and opens up an app for who-knows-what in the future.

It’s the right call to make.
Its not "conspiracy theory bullshit" when its real. Scheming together for their collective benefit at the expense of the rest of the world's population is the completely publicly stated goal of that meeting.
How so? This just looks similar to the Obama photo situation. You look at the original and then you look at the artist rendition and in both cases they line up pretty closely to the original. The transformative work being done by the AI is way more than this unless the artist intentionally is trying to preserve the original closely. In both these cases, the artist is making decisions to not be that transformative from the original.

Also, I can do this all day long if I am not selling my output.
I was curious too. Joe and Jennison started GAAD 12 years ago from a discussion on a forum/blog post (https://accessibility.day/about/). So I suppose if you want to put 10 years into trying to get something mainstream, you too could start a day for something that folks weren't paying enough attention too ;).

That said, I'd say Global Accessibility Awareness Day is mainstream enough at this point to be called out, given that it's being mentioned at the bottom of Apple's press releases for accessibility (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/05/apple-previews-live-s...)
Yes, good point. One of the nation's leading deception detection experts, Pamela Meyer has a great Masterclass that has actionable techniques for spotting deception in everyday life and is, in my opinion, more helpful to everyday Americans. https://pamelameyer.com/masterclass/
Mozilla should put a red tracker count in the URL bar. That would make people aware of how they're being exploited.
It's the constant yin-yang of MBA types running companies. They proclaim some modernization effort or another will let them downsize the expensive employees (or they just do a layoff to bump the stock price).

Then when the project fails to deliver, the sales pipeline dries up, projects stop getting done, etc they'll announce a hiring spree with great fanfare. Look at me, I'm a great CEO and leader! I'm going to re-hire the X positions we laid off or eliminated over the past 5 years under my prior leadership to solve the problems I created!

In the UK BT is a captive utility so shuffling the deck chairs is as good as doing real work I guess.
Hi! Thanks for posting this, it and the replies pointed out an error. I've since corrected the article.
I still find it very ironic that this is about a photograph of a different artist who is also now deceased. These are both riffing off Prince's image.

Every house I've ever seen that has a natural gas stove also has a over range hood fan. Could be a simple legislative / improvement to simply tie the fan operation to a heat sensor (for a little extra extraction after burner turned off) or simply just while any burner is on (and oven).

That being said electricity is so useful, and has the property of colocating emissions at the generation plant, that I don't see a lot of reason not to use it for all forms of heating and transportation at this point besides economic (it's expensive relative to mining energy stored from the past).

Normally concentrated emissions is an issue, but it's also the key for emissions technologies like scrubbers (which work well on concentrated streams, and not so well on dilute) .
Insert unnecessary comment about using chatGPT to refute sources
Seems like both the article and many commenters here are overlooking the fact that most people have cheap mobile data plans. For most people's use cases (read: not readers here) that's enough.

Most people living in cities and even most suburban areas have great coverage, so why bother paying for a landline?
That thats the case for the US as well. The average salary for US software dev, according to glassdoor, is 88,395/year, which iirc is about the same I've seen form other sources. Everyone working in FAAG is an outlier compared to the rest of the US. These conversations are usually pretty poor because context is very important and job + location + circumstance is seemingly pretty much impossible to compare to each other.

We are certainly in a transitionary period, but "regular conservative" generally means fiscally conservative with maybe some light religious stuff in the US, or at least used to. The list of "based" opinions were all socially conservative takes.
Indeed, and it's a topic that would not be covered by big tech. I think this idea that academia must compete on the same terrain as big AI companies is misguided. There are areas where only academia can be successful, because they would not be profitable, and others where academia doesn't have the resources.
Well, that's a debate.

Do you need/want a centralized authority dictating requirements for quality, safety, and interoperability? When and how much?
Right. Disability seems to convey a negative still, much like there's something missing and it's a bad thing. There is a study that said a majority of disabled people with invisible disabilities would never identify publicly as disabled. So I'm willing to bet most of those people don't take to the idea that having a disability is more of a social issue then anything else.
No tts tho. I’d rather have a conversation.
(IANAL) The argument is probably something along the lines of this ruling raising the bar on making a fair use argument for transformative use (which would presumably be one of the defenses for using copyrighted data for training). In practice, I have to believe this is a sufficiently specific case and has sufficiently closely related precedence (like the Obama Hope poster) that I'm not sure this says much with respect to generative AI.
This'd be a day-one purchase for us.

Emphasis on the backwards compatibility. I'll wait 2-3 years if that's not there.
The only index of “dynamism” that has improved over time is issuing of patents.

I’m not sure if this is really a sign of technology development and a harbinger of growth or if it is a sign of incumbents building themselves a deeper moat.

If you look at it from a zero-sum perspective, however, California really is better off if its patents hold off competition from competitors in Alabama. On the other hand, a common analysis of the economy is that it is stagnant because of a lack of competition. (e.g. Boeing and Airbus alike are dragging pathetic feet on replacing the 1967 and 1982 narrow body airliners that domestic travelers are subjected to.)
I predicted this would happen and a license fee and permission is pretty much the way forward for now.

Called it, all the nonsense about "security" that the politicians have been clambering for in fact has nothing to do with real security "beyond the circus" but has everything to do with controlling who can make and release software. I'll give you a hint who they are going to allow create and release software, if you're revenue isn't described with the word billions it isn't you.
This ruling has next to nothing to do with generative AI.

If anything, the fact that there was enough ambiguity that it took 35+ years for a court to decide that someone tracing a photograph was, in fact, not fair use is a good indication that it will be very hard to use current laws to stop outputs of generative AI that have been trained on copyrighted material.
Hi, I'm the author, and LOOOOOL Thanks for the laugh.
It strongly depends on where you are - someone earning £50k in probably London is having a much better time than someone earning $50k in Silicon Valley, but if the $50k person is living in somewhere less ridiculous they might be better off.
> I would imagine that vectorization is behind the advice to use linear searches on small arrays.

I always thought a core part is that searching linearly is simply very cache efficient due to easy prefetching of linear data and that this is simply faster when you don’t have to search too much. Of course, that and vectorisation together is even better.
> There are almost no pathways into tech now that revolve around tech as play and I think that's where a lot of hackers came from.

I don't think I agree. Many of the old pathways don'ts exist anymore, but they've been replaced with new ones. Look at the maker community ("makers" are mostly just hackers by a different name), or look at the resurgence of hobbyist electronics.

I think electronics is a great example, actually, because I often hear old electronics nerds lament that hobbyist electronics is essentially impossible because most things a surface-mount these days. But what they don't realize is that designing and assembling circuits with surface-mount components is well within the realm of the hobbyist and is very common. This is proven by the wealth of wonderful projects they are engaging in.

The difference with electronics is that the soldering techniques are different. They're not really any more difficult, but require a different set of skills that the graybeards often haven't learned.
Thank you so much for your encouragement! Such positive feedback means a lot to me.
> They would be "fake" if they claim to be made by OpenAI, which they don't.

Very many did that or implied an association with OpenAI, which is why OpenAI had to release updated branding guidelines (https://openai.com/brand) and started enforcing takedowns against apps/domains using GPT in their name.

Except that generative AI is actually generative. It isn’t recreating a work by shape and line and form. It is using the knowledge gained from studying many works to determine when given a random pixel, what color pixel should it and its neighbors transform into to best fit the requested parameters.

Stable Diffusion starts with random noise and attempts to denoise that random information into a coherent picture. That it has in the past learned that certain types of pictures should have say something resembling a watermark is just it being incredibly dumb but ultimately no different than it learning that horses should have something resembling manes or people’s hands having something resembling fingers.
I don't know why you'd think that, UK manufacturing is about the same as France, and quite a bit more than say Norway or Australia. Definitely not an outlier in any case.

You may have choice, but a vast proportion of the market aren’t even aware of it, and wouldn’t know where to buy it. They see, understand, and seek out the branding for the ecosystem that they use already.

This is unfortunate, as I like free and open as much as the next HN user, but it’s the nature of innovation and socio-technical ecosystems.

Think of walled off 'private communities' with HOAs. My take is people want the internet that self selected for only the certain social groups/classes of people that could afford the internet in the early 2000s without having to say that is what they want. Mainly college students and post-college professionals with enough disposable income to afford the limited practical use the internet offered back then. Maybe make a startup that only offers services to those in the RIGHT Discord channels, with the right social credit. Maybe job offers first go to those in your channels, so your same social circle that has already self selected out the 'wrong' types. It seems super gross to me but the other alternative complete sucks too. I just think this new direction is as classist and racist as private home communities with restrictive HOAs and the people hear need to be honest that that is what they want.

> italians talk about obedience in exchange for bread and butter

I've never used that word, that's your own insecurities talking. What people want is not obedience, is respect: respect for the founding principles of the community they joined, and respect for the solidarity that the founders extend every day to them.

Instead, certain elements in Eastern Europe demand more and more, without ever giving anything back.

> If Italy doesnt like this then it can leave.

Sure, but why should we leave a house we built, that we still fundamentally believe in, and that we know we benefit from in various ways...? Obviously we won't. It's much more likely that we will simply continue to work to improve the house rules.

> East europe is increasingly more relevant.

Lol. I'm not sure you noticed, but Visegrad is dead. In EU institutions, the great killer is isolation. The more you beat your chest, the less you will get.
But is it on view? Most museums only rarely exhibit it to avoid fading. That's why, according to TFA, 56 museums have it in their collections but only two have it on view.
Which is beyond moronic.

If you need the anesthesiologist on call to come back to the hospital just so the surgeon can see what drugs were given during the case and what the vital signs looked like, your EMR is less useful than paper.
It’s outside though, so the radon wouldn’t normally accumulate unless something weird happens. Seems like this is the sort of thing you’d want experts to look at.
So how does this effect the employability of students from these Colleges ?

I am assuming here that a combination of College, Degree and Grades determine the student's job prospects.

Now an employer might value students from a particular college less as they don't have grades.

Of course, everything comes down to student's actual capabilities.
But then why should a Degree from a college be required for a job when grades aren't necessary.

One could simply do courses for a lot of professions, learn on their own and apply to a job.
May be after some professional certification that's not tied to a degree.
Note - Not applicable to things like Medicine or Engineering, but can be to may other professions.

I'd love symmetric fiber for $50, but 'for what it is' isn't doing much lifting at all.
>Every house I've ever seen that has a natural gas stove also has a over range hood fan

I have never seen that where I live, but I am in a City with many house over 100 years old.

How about being able to edit a copied phone number? Like maybe I want to add a country code? No, the only way to do it is to make a new contact and then edit it? Ok…

Or how about search a pdf on my phone? Really? I can’t? Huh… so random…
Of course you don't know.

For example, http://byurejects.com/ redirects to https://admissions.utah.edu/apply/

IDK exactly who owns "byurejects.com" but I'm guessing it's not "utah.edu."

They keep telling us "not to worry" yet they regularly come up with idiotic ideas. This essentially reads like "how to kill your living ecosystem in three easy letters and replace it with oligopolies".

Especially the part about certifications from TÜV and Dekra is so funny. Those institutions have absolutely no idea what they're doing esp. in all things digital.

This might be fearmongering but I'm seeing us already getting nudged to some kind of Java EE standards that can nicely be taught in universities, applied in public and private institutions in dysfunctional ways and finally nicely be certified by aforementioned certification bodies. What a world.

I recall about a month of Show HN being largely populated by this same soft of thing. I'm definitely not arguing with misrepresentation of an official OpenAI app but there's a lot of this happening inside and outside the app store.
Those fake alien governments and alien racism are metaphors for real governments and real racism.
Not too sensitive. All of us get annoyed at things we have to constantly reiterate. At least that other user revealed their insanity after they kept talking. Literally explaining why you could never have known, despite claiming you should have "thought harder." Don't feel guilty, you're not the one with the evil idea. We should, of course think long (and sometimes evil), but it's impossible to predict what others will use your tech for.

You did good and there's no problems with what you did.
> (a) the operation of tiktok by the company or users; or

I don't see how owners of iOS or Android phones can be in any way said to be users of Apple or Google. At best this would apply to TikTok itself, or to companies which supply phones to employees.
The big story with this new Zelda game, and why it is able to include so many deep and interlocking systems on top of a staggering amount of content, comes down to institutional knowledge at Nintendo. Many of the people working on or giving input on this game have been making Zelda games for decades. Eiji Aonuma, the current producer of the Zelda series, directed every mainline Zelda from Ocarina to Twilight Princess. Hidemaro Fujibayashi was at Capcom when he directed Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Four Swords, and the Minish Cap in the late 90s and early 2000s. Skyward Sword was the first Zelda he directed and he went on to direct Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. While Western games studios crush their developers with crunchtime and pursue flashy graphics over deep systems, Nintendo nurtures and retains its internal talent and as a result they do far more with technically inferior hardware. Contrast Tears of the Kingdom's smooth launch with the ongoing debacle of Overwatch 2 from Blizzard, whose devs just announced they won't be delivering one of the core promised features of the sequel. Obviously not every Western studio is as bad as Activision/Blizzard, but Nintendo running circles around everyone on 7 year old mobile phone hardware should prompt some serious soul searching for Western games execs.
Sure, I was looking at the top apps just now. Apparently OpenAI is explicitly okay with WhateverChat powered by ChatGPT.

Also note the 53-degree FOV they quote is for the diagonal angle!
In all their press releases they're comically cagey about giving actual resolution and angle info for the display, which makes me distrust them.
1, 2, and 4) Yes, that's already possible. Look into Solo Keys for open source hardware and firmware. The standard allows for key manufacturer attestation but seems like the way it is going (especially with the proliferation of software authenticators) it likely won't be relevant in practice. You can also enroll many authenticators to the same account (provided the service allows it, which most do).

3) This is pretty hard/impossible, I think. The authenticators don't use the same key-pair for all websites (a la SSH through Yubikey), but rather create a per-service, per-credential key-pair, and encrypt it with the main key-pair. The encrypted credential key-pair is then handed off to the server for storage, and the service sends it back for the authenticator to decrypt and use during a challenge. Clever trick to not depend on local hardware memory and be able to have unlimited per-credential key-pairs, but afaik prevents you from just "adding lists of public keys".

I'm also not mentioning the resident keys aspect of the standard but that won't fix it as they're still service and credential based.

It's disingenuous to not include it. It still comes out of your paycheck, just because it happens above the fold doesn't mean it's not a real tax burden, equivalent to the one that is listed below the fold.

Splitting it into an 'employer and employee' portion was just an accounting trick to get political buy-in for it. At the end of the day, it's still a regressive 15.3% tax rate that gets slapped onto your wages.
