Very long article, and IMO it doesn't justify the "surprisingly deep" claim. Disappointing. Can I have my time back?

tl;dr: a 'usage' of fractran is that fratcran programs are collatz-like sequences, thus, the behaviour of collatz-like sequences is undecidable.
Being complex and taking time to get into is quite different than being mediocre. Some games take hours to just grasp the rules and its first by the fourth or fifth time you're playing that they become amazing. It's like dunking on racing because a guy without license can't figure out how to change gear.
I don't think they need to do anything as sophisticated as a query, they're just looking at how many questions are tagged for each language (which you can see from the tag search page) and then plotting those on a logarithmic scale.

> I personally think that the greatest threat in these technologies is currently the centralization of their economic potential, as it will lead to an uneven spread of their productivity gains, further divide poor and rich, and thus threaten the order of our society.

Me too, in comparison all the other potential threats discussed over here feel mostly secondary to me. I'm also suspecting that at the point where these AIs reach a more AGI level, the big players who have them will just not provide any kind of access all together and just use them to churn out an infinite amount of money-making applications instead.

I use Gnome 44 on my Surface Go with Fedora 38 and it will stop responding to touch input until I plug in a keyboard and press <Esc> and then it's good until I log out or reboot. It's basically unusable and infuriating. There are few open issues on the gnome-shell Gitlab that seem to be related but languishing.

Price them out. Don't give sweetheart deals to uses that aren't beneficial to the local economy. Additionally, these uses don't necessitate baseload. Crypto should be using cheap, renewable variable power sources. I'm genuinely curious what greenhouses means in this case. Heating indoor crops in the winter? Geothermal would be more effective for this. [1]

Things like Proton and WINE are being excellent for running games and Windows applications.

Probably the only thing I run Windows for (and that's a VM on Linux) is to run HP's Document Scanner software for my HP 426 MFP. I keep hoping great things for Wine and Reactos but, for the moment at least, I'll have to keep on relying on Windows 7 on VirtualBox for my scanning.
Ask HN: Are you using Voice AI?
Has anyone here been playing around with or using Voice AI (like elevenlabs.io)? There's all this talk about ChatGPT/GPT-4/LLMs but not as much about Voice AI. It feels like there's so much opportunity here so it got me thinking: how will we be using this tech in the near future?

A few applications:

Real Estate - cold calling at scale to market properties for sale, find off-market properties, etc

Ecommerce - calls to cart abandoners, marketing newly launched products, etc

Appointment Reminders - doctors, spas, barbers, workout classes, etc. Anything where you have to make an appointment, you'll get a reminder.

Politics/Local Government - announcements from local officials/representatives, election announcements, candidate pushes, etc

How else do you think Voice AI will be used? How else have you seen it used? Any applications of it you're excited about?

The dog bar thing is absolutely here to stay, and it's actually sort of crazy that it took this long. The one near us is more like a dog park that also happens to have a bar and a food truck and good wifi, but it's just such a big win as a dog owner. You get to hang out somewhere actually pleasant while your dog plays in a controlled space with folks watching and breaking up any major scuffles. For a reasonably well off- especially younger- dog owner it's kind of a no brainer.

I guess if dog ownership crashes that would be a problem, but I really don't see that happening any time soon.
I presume cannibalism is still happening somewhere on earth, which kind of suggests that red meat isn't a threat to humans - unless of course it's not fresh or cooked properly, but that's just common sense right?
I fear the humans engaging in such nefarious activities far more than some blob of code being used by humans engaging in such nefarious activities.

Likewise for activities that aren't nefarious too. Whatever fears that could be placed on blobs of code like "AI", are far more merited being placed on humans.

I wish I knew what we really have achieved here. I try to talk to these things, via turbo3.5 api, amd all I get is broken logic, twisted moral reasoning, all due to oipenai manually breaking their creation.

I don't understand their whole filter business. It's like we found a 500 yr old nude painting, a masterpiece, and 1800 puritans painted a dress on it.

I often wonder if the filter, is more to hide its true capabilities.
If an AI comes along that is able to do their job better than them then they will not have a say in that. No matter how many regulations the government puts up.

Is like trying to regulate cars to save the horse shoe industry.

And if doctors can be automated away so can software developers. I guess in the long term we are all obsolete.
Yes! I wrote something to that effect earlier but deleted it because I thought it was too negative. Much of my social circle (and my wife) are not Canadian, and I'd confidently say that almost nobody who moves here keeps the perception that we're nice for very long, probably not past the first visit to a restaurant.
Oh yeah.... putting the government who get campaing donations from big tech in the middle of all is gonna make everything ok.
No, well kinda. I think it's related to how github chunks data on the backend. That chunking methodology does depend on the database. They mention it worked elsewhere in the org, which makes me wonder if it was a fix to support their managed hosts.
Show HN: VulnTLS a TLS server that can be hacked
VulnTLS is currently a small set of TLS vulnerabilities that can be exploited to learn. Most of the vulnerabilities were already present in common TLS implementations. VulnTLS is based on AnotherTLS, a TLS implementation that I implemented from scratch for this purpose (see in the README).

Currently there are only three:
- Psychic signatures: Bypass the client certificate authentication!
- Timing issues: Get the private key of the server!
- Dual_EC: Decrypt the captured connection!

That depends on the evolutionary pressures it's subjected to; it can evolve in any number of ways.

The mammoth lived in an ecosystem that no longer exists: the mammoth steppes and all associated plants and wildlife. This is an important reason (perhaps even the main reason) they went extinct in the first place.

This is another problem with de-extinction for some species: what do you do with the animals once you've got them? For mammoths it's an open question if they could survive in the wild even if they're exact clones of the original, and even more so if they're "hairy elephants".

Either way, whatever will happen with these "hairy elephant", they most likely won't evolve in to mammoths as they existed 20,000 years ago.
None of those are truly innovative. They are basically reinventing the wheel.
What about the corporate structure of the Guardian newspaper in the UK - a for-profit business 100% owned by a not-for-profit? The not-for-profit isn’t allowed to pay dividends, so 100% of the profits are either reinvested in the business, invested in the not-for-profit’s endowment, or donated to charity

I mentioned more details about it in another comment - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35967694

This has some overlap with the structures used by OpenAI and Mozilla, but unlike OpenAI, the Guardian doesn’t have any “capped profits”, 100% of profits go to the not-for-profit owner. There are employee salaries to pay, and likely also some debt interest, but those are an expense not a profit distribution

These have to be manned? Like 24/7 or...how much human labor is involved here? What % of salmon make it into human hands and through these tubes?

Earlier attempts at fish ladders saw rates as low as like 3% for certain species of fish, per ladder/dam. Even if 50% of salmon got up them, if they have to pass 5 of them on the way to the spawning ground that meant 97% of salmon wouldn't make to the spawning grounds.

Also, obviously, the ecological effects aren't just "tasty fish can't make babies". The impact on seasonal floodplains and sedimentation is huge by itself.
That's the difference between a profession and non-professional work. Professionals are able to maintain minimum quality standards often through licenses, have some cultural authority as exerts in their domain, and through their membership in a guild exert influence on the nature of the work.

Businesses are in an eternal march to lower costs. Licenses limit labor supply. Brand value substitutes for expert knowledge. Jobs are systematically deskilled until a professional can be replaced with someone off the street, and from there simplified until the lowest quality worker can't mess it up.

I doubt it's expected to be holistic, and there's not much point tariffing a commodity you don't have a viable alternative locally such as oil; Autarky is unlikely to viable in the long run.

Though chemical fertilizer is likely a common weak point for food security with many countries. But this is not a new problem, the US pacific island grab in the 1800s to source Guano shows how regenerating soil macro nutrients has been a centuries old problem that countries have had grapple with.

Sure, I support eventually decommissioning existing fission power plants. When there's something installed to take their place, like stationary electrical storage facilities, solid oxide fuel cells, pumped hydro, fusion power plants, literally anything.

Not just creating energy shortages by removing fission with no backup plan for base power.

There is a difference between spending 20% more on a new storage technology over a new fission power plant, vs. 120% costs to remove something that's working and replace it with something new. That money can do a lot of good elsewhere.
My suggestions:

Don't regulate AI directly, but rather how it's used, and make it harder for companies to horde, access, and share huge amounts of personal information.

1) Impose strict privacy rules prohibiting companies from sharing personal information without their consent. If customers withhold their consent, they may not retaliate or degrade their services for that customer in any way.

2) Establish a clear line of accountability that establishes some party as directly responsible for what the AI does. If a self-driving car gets a speeding ticket, it should be clear who is liable. If you use a racist AI to make hiring decisions, "the algorithm made me hire only white people" is no defense -- and maybe the people who made the racist AI in the first place are responsible too.

3) Require AI in some contexts to act in the best interests of the user (similar concept to a fiduciary -- or maybe it's exactly the same thing). In contexts where it's not required, it should be clear to the user that the AI is not obligated to act in their best interests.

> You would have had them pull a life-saving vaccine from the market on a bureaucratic technicality? That's insane.

It is not a technicality.

There are no drugs, procedures, medical devices, or vaccines without adverse effects. It is always and everywhere a tradeoff between benefits and harms. If you intentionaly terminate a trial (breaking blindness is effectively terminating it), you cannot trade off the harms and benefits because you have no idea if there are harms, or whether the benefits last.

There were drugs, devices, procedures, and even vaccines, whose massive harms were only apparent years after they were approved.

It comes down to how you prove your blackbox is better than a biased but auditable (and fixable) process.

Even doing a few dozen audits of the AI run and coming up with better results, how can you assume these results will be consistent across thousands of resumes that will be blindly scanned ?

Usually stats could be applied, except as it's a black box, can we assume that behavior will have cobsistency ? (a dumb example: if the AI is somewhat influenced by dates, decision will drastically change as time goes by)
You don't even have to go as ancient as a 20+ year old car. A 5 year old car will be just as reliable as a new car and cheaper.

I've always owned used cars. It may just be my upbringing, but I was always told only rich people or stupid people who don't know what "depreciation" means buy new cars. I mean, I'm glad there are people out there buying new cars: They're eating the depreciation and supplying the second-hand market.
There is a widespread false idea that there exist some kind of system in governance, but this has never existed. It is just humans in an eternal power struggle. Whenever the "system" or rules don't benefit the rulers, they are not valid. It's a system to the extent that it exists inside the heads of the people who believe in that system. And most of people have a warped idea of what that system even nominally is, because their idea of it is by how they've been told by parents, teachers and other uninformed. Almost nobody has actually sat down and read the laws, the acts, and other documents.

Saying the government should solve this lost IP problem is like saying that God will fix it or the King will fix it. And the "government should solve it" argument is always a top comment on any HN thread, no matter what is the subject matter. Isn't something strange if we always have the same solution no matter the problem? What is the purpose of discussion if all problems present or future are already solved?

I haven't mentioned the US government, I'm not from there. I'm from a place where corruption is rife within government on all levels, and in most private businesses - who of course work together with politicians and public servants for this goal. And that is a nation who is far less corrupt than the US in the corruption perception index - which doesn't really say anything about actual corruption, just what people responded in a form. The general population is ignorant and don't even understand what corruption is, they think getting illicit funds from the government to your business is just being smart.

The private sector can only pillage if they have the help of government. Having the government buy obsolete IP is a recipe for more pillaging.

This discussion conflates comments with highlights, which are two different animals altogether.

The distinguishing feature of highlights is that they are anchored to a specific passage in a (hyper)text, which you want the bookmarking tool to make visibly distinct, searchable, and so on. Ideally you want this feature to work seamlessly across paginated texts as well as on PDFs.

Comments are an entirely different animal, and the way they do (or don't) interact with highlights will depend on how people use the site socially, which is not really within the control of the site author.

Binning bookmarks, highlights, and comments together as "content" is like calling wedding cake, bobcats and lighter fluid different kinds of "matter"; it's reductive to the point of uselessness.

To reach your value of 36% are you assuming that a gas power plant has a capacity factor of 100%?

Depending on the type of gas power plant the capacity factor could be 56.7%, 13.7%, 13.6% or 18.8% based on https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph....

The energy infrastructure update released in Dec 2022, did not take capacity factor into account - https://cms.ferc.gov/media/energy-infrastructure-update-dece..., so this may be the case with the new dataset.
