The fundraising part is the completeness of it.

I could probably COO on the non-fundraising side, but I'd be an absolute fundraising failure. Non-profit C level execs are fundraisers.
I always found it puzzling that the distribution is a fixed value rather than a ratio.

Especially the Colorado river. An infamously volatile river. Most of the time it is a rather small desert river. but when it floods it floods something awful.
The article has some pop-science feel to it:

> But we do have candidates, including string theory.

Oh no, you mean the theory that physicists say we see no evidence of at all? Great, if that is the basis, ... lets see what follows.

> In string theory all the particles of the universe are actually microscopic vibrating loops of string. In order to support the wide variety of particles and forces that we observe in the universe, these strings can't just vibrate in our three spatial dimensions. Instead, there have to be extra spatial dimensions that are curled up on themselves into manifolds so small that they escape everyday notice and experimentation.

Right, it would most definitely escape the experiments I have in my garage ... Who talks about "everyday experimentation" when talking about string theory? I mean, in "everyday experimentation" we don't even see atoms and most of us in their "everyday experimentation" do not even see molecules. Really makes you wonder what "everyday experimentation" they are going on about.

> That exotic structure in spacetime gave a team of researchers the tools they needed to identify a new class of object, something that they call a topological soliton. In their analysis they found that these topological solitons are stable defects in space-time itself. They require no matter or other forces to exist—they are as natural to the fabric of space-time as cracks in ice. The research is published in the journal Physical Review D.

But cracks in ice do consist of something: Usually air that fills the gaps. And even if we put ice in perfect vacuum somehow, there is still space between the parts of the ice. It is not like there is nothing. Seems like a bad analogy. At least they would have to go into what "fills" the gaps like with ice. Some space-time-vacuum?

On top of that, the article tries to explain things by using even more in my vocabulary undefined terms like "soliton".

> Because they are objects of extreme space-time [...]

Ah, they are "of extreme space-time"! Now I know ... nothing.

I don't feel like I understood anything valuable, but more like reading a sci-fi novel. Although, sometimes sci-fi novels do make more sense in their own invented universe than this article. Was this article perhaps generated by some language model?
Yeah, mine's from ~ 2016 I think. Before that I had a insp 1420 which was also well known for it's linux compatibility. Apparently things have gotten worse in recent years?
Ukraine SUPPORTS military appraisal in Chechny in 1994?

Do you want to actually read the Wikipedia article about UNA that you linked to?
UNA barely got 0.5% during 1994 elections and that was their best year.

In other words what youre saying is that actions leaders of some nationalistic organization that does not represent 99.985% of Ukrainians is representative of Ukraine? That is absurd!
Are there any environmentalist schools of thought which accept human nature for what it is, make pessimistic (realistic?) assumptions about the (un)likelihood of global coordination on this topic, and use that as a starting point for research, modeling and recommendations? So much of what makes its way into politics and mainstream media on this topic seems to be naive pipe dreams, mindless posturing, or political opportunism. The scientists seem to often make the same mistake.
Infinity and singularity are mathematical constructs. They look great on paper, but we don't know if they have actual physical analogs. It could be that relativity and the physics around black holes, the big bang, etc. are wrong.
> It should bring you joy that someone got treated well.

It highlights that it's not the standard. I don't feel particular joy that a person who is already treated well continues to be treated well. I feel joy when a person who isn't already treated well is treated well. Joy is not my default state; I don't feel it about status quo human situations.
How often do these economic sanctions actually work? From my limited perspective they seem to only hurt the poor, whilst the rich find loophole after loophole and are largely unaffected.

Is it worth putting a link to the “lectures on computation” and “lectures on gravitation” books on the site? Unless I’ve missed it they don’t seem to get a mention.
Well, no, it doesn’t _have_ to. There’s little stopping the UK from holding onto what it has. Brexit provided an amount of political cover to remake the law if it _wanted_ to, though.
If free human generated content dries up for OpenAI wouldn't it dry up for Google (both Search and Bard) and Bing as well?
I've been happy with mine. I was doing a hobby project that involved a toner transfer onto brushed aluminum, and bought a Brother printer for like $90.

The low capacity "starter" toner cartridge lasted through a few hundred pages, including printing all our wedding invitations. We designed the artwork to look like the output of a printing press, and printed onto parchment-like paper.

I've since swapped in a third party cartridge, and figure I won't need to replace it for another 5-10 years. The print quality is a bit lower than the OEM one, but certainly gets the job done.

Miraculously, I am able to reliably print to it from Arch Linux, over wifi!

I almost feel bad for Brother, I can't imagine they made more than a few dollars off of me, if that.
What do you mean there are no plausible mechanisms? This reads like one of those "it will take 1-10 million years for man to fly" kind of statements.
So success is increasing returns to scale, basically.
The communist manifesto is a very reductionist view of economics that lends itself to false oppressor class/oppressed class narratives. Large scale death (not just Stalin and Mao but Pol Pot and many others) follows fairly easily from that narrative as the oppressed class can do no wrong.

AI Company Says It'll Perform a Seance on Your Dead Loved Ones
The people referring to them as "ClosedAI" are not a significant portion fo the population. I've overheard strangers talking about ChatGPT (honestly half the time it's ChatGTP), none of them give a shit about OpenAI's philosophy. At most, they have a vague notion that Elon Musk was involved.
We are already on an irreversible course to 2C.
Absolutely, I think actually her concerns are much more direct, measurable and actionable. It didn't take a genius to point out "maybe we should crash test something other than a male crash test dummy", but it was much more impactful and actionable than "let's figure out how to test self-driving cars" (to which the answer is still "let's just drive them and hope")

Thanks for putting into words what I couldn't articulate well, but what has been bothering me for a while. Very concise and to the point, saved your comment.

It is just tiring seeing all those fearmongering articles in the news media about omnipotent god-like AGI, based on nothing but self-aggrandizing statements from "experts" (with large followings that have nothing to do with the topic they are authoritatively talking about) like Sam Altman. It got to the point, where seeing those articles makes me question things over and over in my head, only to come to the same conclusion (as nothing material has changed to lead me to a different conclusion this time compared to previous times).

Almost feels like I am being gaslighted. And it feels so strong, I cannot even blame people outside of tech falling for all of this (let alone people of the typical US senators' age and tech literacy). Which is the exact part that makes me feel the most uneasy - people who understand this game like Sam Altman does and who have no issues with capitalizing on that using this dishonest rhetoric (to the major detriment of the rest of the people).

/rantover
s/do/do not/ dry up
It's all about framing. If the US agrees that this is bad actors getting rightfully punished for violating local laws then it's all good. If the US looks at the regulation and decides that it's a very complicated ceremony to extract money from US tech companies then it becomes more complicated. And since FB isn't violating US law and the US passed the cloud act I think that this is relatively likely. This court case is effectively a proxy war over the cloud act because meta didn't actually do anything wrong, their actions became wrong in response to us law.

> I wonder why Colorado and Utah were not involved in the deal? If one of them had a problem with it, would they have standing to sue?

The Colorado River Compact effectively divides states into two buckets, the Upper Basin and Lower Basin states. The Upper Basin states already came to an agreement a while ago; the Lower Basin states only came to an agreement today.
It looks like the author omitted that most of these laws hold for E-type systems, meaning systems which are linked to some real-world activity, see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehman%27s_laws_of_software_ev.... As a counterexample: a math library written in C can last for years without change.
Price discrimination is a great way to reduce customer trust. I have a friend that Uber consistently charges 20% less than me, for the same trip, at the same time, and before any obvious discounts. My best guess is that it's because of a trip to SF with a company card some years ago (high-cost area! Price insensitivity! Ka-ching goes the app). I will probably never learn the truth, but the result is that I avoid using Uber because it makes me feel ripped off.
NATO has been on the USSR's borders via Norway and (if you count air/sea borders without land borders) the United States since the day NATO was founded.
The problem is that once you have proof of these things, it may be too late. That's an even larger problem when you consider the speed at which our government moves on things.

I recognize why many folks see it as Altman bringing up the ladder, and I'm certainly cynical enough not to discount that. Still, I don't think the facts that you're citing here are evidence that he's doing that.

> We do not even have a consensus around a working definition of "intelligence"

This doesn't seem like a good reason not to regulate - intelligence has been around for a very long time, and you're correct that we don't have a consensus around how to define it. There's no reason to believe we'll get to a consensus on that soon, so if you're saying that we should wait to get there before we regulate, you're effectively saying we should never regulate.

You're not supposed to take everything you read as a policy prescription, especially in works of imaginative speculation.
Yes, but this is really not the main (or even a) reason why there is the threat of farms having to close shop or mandated to become more sustainable: this is based solely on nitrogen emissions damaging nearby nature reserves.
CVE-2023-32784 – KeePass
Yes, I ran & still run a Jitsi instance and a website which would connect you to one of 12 participating Jitsi server at random applying to our guidelines in the EU.

My goal was offering a low-barrier open for all way to connect with loved ones. During the peak of the Covid pandemic for many people it was easier to connect with colleagues than family members or friends. So I contacted a few sysadmins and public organizations of whom I knew were running Jitsi and asked if it could be shared via our public website. A few agreed and a few dropped by and wanted to help out. After a few days a commercial hosting company decided to sponsor us with one VPS as well.

Our idea was to connect the servers and use the API to select a server with the lowest load. In the meantime we used a randomizer...we've never used the API after all, the randomizer worked well enough ;)

People told us they've used our free service for yoga classes, library book reading clubs, hackerspaces & celebrating birthdays with grandma.

Overall I'm still very proud what we've achieved in a few days with some servers, opensource software and bit of work.

Many thanks to @saghul, 8x8 and all other people contributing to Jitsi. Thank you!
I meant - most people on this forum. The whole discussion was in the context of programming jobs.
It goes deeper than that, it's just easier to call out when it's a corporation as rich and large enough as HP being defended. There's a more base "blame the victim to avoid having to acknowledge something is wrong and having to do anything about it" mindset at work. If the reader blames the victim (for not reading what "HP Instant Ink" service actually is) then the reader doesn't have to do anything. After all, it's the victim's fault for not reading the contract/having infinite knowledge/wearing too short a dress. If there was anything wrong with the attacker's behavior then the reader would have to get outraged and do something, or respond with something deeply cynical, powerless and defeated.
>Will general door dash users even know of the suit. Not exactly plastered over the news, hackernews is the only place I've seen an air about it.

It was reported today on local TV news here in NYC (NY1), which is what got me to search HN for this discussion.

And since local TV news isn't exactly geared toward the tech savvy, I'd expect this will be widely covered across US media.
“… A receives more resources from a (presumed) finite pool of resources, so B therefore receives less”

No. If A is a big enough success, money can get thrown at a bunch of B’s. Resources can INCREASE. Most B’s will be unsuccessful.
I've never seen anyone say that MacCarthy's Lisp 1 and 1.5 are not Lisp. Or that MacLisp, or InterlLisp, BBN Lisp and other historic dialects are not Lisp. Or that Emacs Lisp or ANSI Common Lisp aren't.

The entire disagreement is about languages that deviate from the core design patterns set out in the ancestral Lisps, some of whose adherents want them to be regarded as Lisp.
Exactly, I also struggle to take seriously the "security" concerns of an organisation that releases this product with plugins and no proper way to restrict them and what they can do. The prompt injections are just ridiculous and show a complete lack of thought going into the design [0].

"move fast and break things"

It very much feels like they are trying to build a legislative moat, blocking out competitors and even open source projects. Ridiculous.

I don't fear what this technology does to us, I fear what we do to each other because of it. This is just the start.

Am I also very greedy for writing code once that gets executed millions of times and used to charge hundreds of thousands of customers?
The usual myth. Counterpoint: https://www.marxist.com/world-poverty-capitalism-s-crime-aga...
Many rental car companies, will charge you differently if you are picking up a car at certain airports depending on which country you say your residence is. Same car, picked up at the same airport, rented for the same amount of days with same insurances, with invoice issued out of the country where you are picking up the car. Different price...
Not just Apple manufacturing, seems like they're divesting from India in general after 10 years, also killing their plans to make laptops and EV components. My understanding is they were barely making money throughout their time in India. Wonder if Tata takeover of iphone assembly going to do better? Kind of expected outcome for TWnese companies known to treat their labourers like shit and India gov unable to manage their population from breaking things after being treated like shit. Which has caused problems for more than just Wistron. Yes it's good workers standing up for themselves, but smart thing is to do that after you've proven indispensible, otherwise reinforces India being difficult place to do business in.

During which, Wikipedia and it's prominent editors have become increasingly biased in their reporting of events. Instead of being a neutral "just the facts", we get editorialization about all kinds of things that just further entrench our two camps. Word choice, framing, referenced articles, things left unsaid, etc.
HN is a different bubble than the rest of capitalist society. I get the feeling that most people here enjoy their work and get really well paid for it, so the logic is completely flipped on its head.

But if you're calling me names, then this discussion is really over.
Humans are temporary beings, we only need temporary wealth.
My opinion that the seniority should be settled once and for all in terms of date and volume.

Once this is done, parties can work towards solutions. The southwest states and users can start buying rights from California and farmers.

One reason there is so much fighting and acrimony is that each party thinks they can get more water for free by convincing a judge they deserve or need it more.

This is further complicated by the fact that the best way to demonstrate need it to increase your dependence and set yourself up for even worse disaster if you don't get what you want.

>and even if it were, there is no evidence ChatGPT is a route to even human-level intelligence.

People who say this nonsense need to start properly defining human level intelligence because nearly anything you throw at GPT-4 it performs at at least average human level, often well above.

Give criteria that 4 fails that a significant chunk of the human population doesn't also fail and we can talk.

Else this is just another instance of people struggling to see what's right in front of them.

Just blows my mind the lengths some will go to ignore what is already easily verifiable right now. "I'll know agi when i see it", my ass.
> The sum total of research into this "field" is a series of long chains of philosophical leaps that rapidly escape any connection to reality

Well, 10 years we had just gotten image classification barely working. Now, we have something with reasoning abilities close to the average human. Is it really a philosophical leap to imagine in another 10 years we will have made significant further progress?
This reminds me of how book stores "return" unsold books to the publisher:

Shipping boxes of heavy books costs a lot of money, and the publisher doesn't actually need the books back (because they can always print new copies very cheaply).

So the publisher just tells the book store to destroy the books, and as evidence for their destruction asks only for the covers to be shipped back to them (which is cheap).

This is why books contain within them the text "This book should not be sold without a cover".

So with this printer company, they are effectively "destroying" the unused ink cartridge since it's not worth it economically to have it shipped back to them.

The added bonus is that if the customer renews the subscription then the ink can be "undestroyed"!
Although i don't know why you would want an app if the website works perfectly
I got free DoorDash Premium or whatever (free delivery, less service fee) through my Chase card a while back. Don't use it that often, but recently wanted to order something and saw that every restaurant I was interested in "doesn't qualify for free delivery." So that was a total scam.

Edit: This was a recent change, never used to have exceptions like this.
A Physical Review of Epilepsy
HIGHLIGHTS

* The physical aspects of epilepsy are often overlooked.

* To gain a deeper comprehension of the underlying mechanism, understanding the
involvement of the physical aspects is crucial.

* The relation between epilepsy and pressure, volume, and heat introduces a
consistent framework.

* In conjunction with certain theoretical works,
it is possible to establish a unifying and
coherent framework for epilepsy
> given that IIRC their RouterOS is essentially a specialized and highly customized GNU/Linux distribution (I could be wrong)

Based on my conversations with people who have worked there- RouterOS is running on Linux kernel, but it's so heavily patched, that upgrades to newer version are.. delayed until the benefits of the upgrade exceeds the cost. Up until the release of RouterOS 7 (circa 2021-2022) it was running on Linux kernel 3.3 (of 2012 vintage).

The drawbacks to this may not be obvious at first, but e.g. Wireguard support took a few years.
