Talking about it in jokes and codes just strikes me as either immature or ashamed, like how teenagers talk about sex or drugs. I think if they believe what they're doing is justified then they shouldn't be ashamed, and there's no reason to talk in code since that's definitely not protecting them one bit from any sort of legal action.
I wasn't exactly confusing them but yeah, I did link to an archive.org article. I was having difficulty finding something specific to archive.is.

I think the distinction between the two is moot in this post. The question could very well have been "How does archive.org bypass paywalls?" Though it's interesting that archive.is seems to just crawl the URL. Indeed that means they wouldn't necessarily be able to bypass the paywall.

Being more or less expressive doesn't necessarily have much to do with it. When we lost a number of verb conjugations or collapsed singular and plural second-person pronouns that didn't make the language more expressive. Arguably the opposite was true. Notwithstanding, thou dost not insist on using these archaic language features, I imagine.
Pay me or I will harm you is extortion, as simple as that.

There's an entire industry now of people that check known vulnerabilities (so they don't invent anything themselves) in software/packages and cross check this against outdated websites, at a very large scale.

They have no morals or security ethics, they barely even have knowledge, they just want to make money with the least amount of effort possible.

Don't ever pay them a cent. They're just as ruthless as spammers.
Libertarian website argues Libertarian viewpoints. News at 11.

I'm more inclined to believe Supreme Court Justice Alito over a Libertarian website. Especially because a sitting Supreme Court Justice literally will preside over the case and make a decision based on their own ethics/process/whatever.

An entire article that starts off with "BTW: Supreme Court Justice is wrong on subject" is... well... that's not how this works. The Supreme Court justice literally defines (or at least, is 1/9th of the definition) of our country's legal interpretation.

If the Supreme Court says "Obamacare is a tax", then its a tax. No if, and, or buts about it. It can be as ridiculous or contrived an argument they want, its the purview of the Supreme Court. They are the final say on any of these legal matters.

And unless "reason.com" (or any other libertarian source) somehow manages to get the ear of the other Supreme Court Justices to believe their argument, I think I can safely ignore their article there.

But they know that. I'm guessing they're just trying to clickbait readers and make somewhat sketchy arguments for more clicks + plant more articles that are aligned to libertarian values (as is the point of reason.com).
Going entirely on gut feel, I suspect that outages like this will be 1) less common and 2) addressed more quickly with AI-supported DevOps in the not-too-distant future.
AI-Powered Podcast
Hey all! I built a daily podcast that is entirely powered by AI. It's called "4-Minute News" with the purpose to scrape the internet for the top biz news and give me it in 4 minutes or less.

I thought others might find this interesting. It's powered by a YC company called Wondercraft.
Yes, possibly. Simple example would be an army robot that is extermely efficient human killer that upps-escaped.

Original argument was around optimising on intelligence and that biology doesn't hold best-possible trophy on it.

We don't need to match number of neural connections in human brain to exceed its intelligence.
Because access to cheap student loans is key to many of us being able to afford college? Tuition and even room + board aside, there's other costs like books ($$$), supplies, transport etc. that cost money — money that many from poor backgrounds don't have.

Without being able to borrow (or making it very expensive to do so), it would require a part-time job on top of a full coursework, or taking longer to get a degree, which has it's own costs associated with it via lost earnings.

This makes no sense. Already trading at 50x EBITDA on forecasted datacenter demand. How does this actually pan out? AWS, Microsoft, other large internet companies buy a bunch of GPUs to train models _one time_, or at best at an annual cadence. Others rent once a month to train.

Model inference will be done on the edge. Apple makes their own silicon and will never return to NVDA, so count out all iDevice revenue. Same with Tesla.
My complete Penguin edition notes all the different changes between versions. It’s rather ungainly to read though. The changes between versions are rarely that extensive, usually just some different phrasing here and there
I think we're in agreement. I said it doesn't affect people who aren't sharing their password, and you seem to be talking about cases where passwords are being shared.
The path may be self-employment. If nobody will give you a role, then make your own role.

That's not an easy path, of course, but neither is autodidacticism.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36063114 claims it's https://www.datarecovery.net/tape-data-recovery.aspx (and that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36062785 had been edited to censor the information, so I'm dupicating it here). Caveat that I don't know if that's actually correct, since efforts to suppress it are only circusantial evidence in favor.

Openlibre.ai: A Libre Collective Platform Building Cutting-Edge AI Solutions
I didn't say equal, did I?
Hey HN Community,

We are thrilled to introduce OpenLibre.AI, a libre collective comprising developers, UX designers, and product creators. Our collective is pioneering in AI applications, software, and solutions, and we do so adhering to the principles of the libre community model.

The concept of a 'libre' community goes beyond open source. It's not just about having access to the source code but about the freedom to run, study, change, and share the software for any purpose. OpenLibre.AI is built on these principles, with an aim to democratize AI technology while fostering creativity and collaboration.

Some key points about OpenLibre.AI:

Community Collaboration: We believe that the best ideas emerge from collective intelligence. Our community includes individuals with varied skills and backgrounds collaborating to create innovative AI solutions.

Transparency: All our projects, discussions, and decisions are publicly available. This ensures accountability, fosters trust, and enables anyone to contribute or critique our work.

Innovation: We're not just building software; we're pushing boundaries. From natural language processing to machine learning models, we're exploring all facets of AI.

Education: We're committed to educating the public about AI, its capabilities, and ethical implications. We provide resources, tutorials, and forums for learning and discussion.

Sustainability: OpenLibre.AI is committed to creating AI solutions that are not only technologically advanced but also socially responsible and sustainable.

If you're passionate about AI and believe in the power of community collaboration, we invite you to join us.

Whether you're a developer, a designer, a product creator, an AI enthusiast, or just curious, your contribution is valuable to us. Help us build the future of AI that is open, innovative, and accessible to all.

Visit https://openlibre.ai for more information and to get involved.

We'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and feedback.
One of our motivations for selecting Clickhouse, is that it's relatively simple to run as a single node. This makes things easier for people who are looking to self-host a small to midsized installation of Dittofeed. It's also IMO a better developer experience for Dittofeed contributors who are running Clickhouse locally.

As far as functionality I'm a fan of Clickhouse's swappable table engines.
And that’s why I argue that AGI is already here. It is a spectrum. And we are well along the way to further acceleration. And if you want to say “no, we are not at AGI yet”, we need to define a clear test of what would be beyond that point.
It sounds like you've learned a lot in the process of using the LLM, and perhaps you will use the LLM less for the basic stuff next time.

OK, well as a rule of thumb most companies that I've worked with in the SAAS space try very hard to keep all customers on the same codebase by building extensible "modules" that can just be added togheter in order to offer the functionality the customer is paying for.

Each customer have their own database containing thier data and settings related to their setup, the "application" is just running in a docker containers in Kubernetes.

The DoD has had screwed up accounting systems for decades because Congress never appropriated funding to fix them. When the audits started a few years ago there was no expectation that they would pass. The goal is to identify the problems so that they can gradually be fixed without disrupting ongoing operations.
Lots of human tests involve pictures. Why does the definition fail badly?
"SDI failed" doesn't actually have a ton of evidence.

If I built something like SDI, and I put it in HOE, the next thing I'd do is tell everyone else that it didn't work.

We still don't know the content of a few shuttle launches, as well as many ULA launches.

I think SDI was completed and functions.
So if your kids have constant access to AI, which they will very soon as the web embraces it, they won't need to 'know how to write'?

I suggest there are more foundational reasons why it'd be better to learn to write, and that the whole tech world will be AI soon enough and we won't have to depend on OpenAI for this 'feature'.

In fact, using AI should probably be a bit more like 'spellcheck', if we're asking AI to write more than that, it's tantamount to filler.

'Writing' is a 'core' civilization skill, it's basic communication.
Yeah, so easy right?

Yeah, I'm aware of that, I also think that the US response was a huge strategic blunder, 20 years of Afghanistan and Iraq proved it.

Great, thanks for your opinion, I'll forward it to the Chef that taught me.

Searing / Incinerating, definitely no difference there, reasonable response, I stand corrected.

I read books, went to the gym, went on walks, rode my bike, hung out with friends, went on dates, went to the movies, went on the internet, and that was it. Absolute best time of my life.
All true, but I think a compressed iso9660fs can actually support dynamic paging - the pages are decompressed into memory, obviously, but can be demand paged without staging them to media.

Typically the Rust Evangelization Task Force does not include people who are actually going to maintain the software (or do the rewrite themselves).

And yes, I'm mostly talking about the idiotic things when I say "AI idiocy." In this case, "idiocy" modifies "AI," it's not supposed to equate the two. In other words, I think there's idiocy of an AI flavor that's pushing out legit content (AI and otherwise) on HN.

The gov't made the iPhone basically. I mean think about it:

* GPS — government technology
* the internet — a government technology
* ai voice assistants — Apple literally hired the head of this research straight from DARPA after DARPA had released its work to the public
* touchscreens — DARPA
* accelerometers — DARPA
* speech recognition — more DARPA and MIT tech
* digital cameras - Bell Labs which had a government enforced monopoly that required them to fund and release research

I don't know why the myth that private sector entities create technologies is so pervasive. Why would a company invest so much into research just to release it to their competitors? The only research that drives everything forward comes from the public sector.

If you'd like a more thorough historical breakdown, I'd recommend economist Mariana Mazzucato's book on debunking public vs. private sector myths.

Right. My high school rhetoric teacher used to label essays as “garbage” for not following structure or convention, often even for straying from expected narrative, while I was only interested in forming a unique or strong perspective. We may have both been wrong. I think the future of “essay” writing will be sort of like patents in that they will have to first identify a problem with a well-established viewpoint, then propose a solution, and fully describe its novelty by citing the prior works that form the boundary of the idea.

Depends. A lot of techies still use Windows (AMD or Intel, depending), including in Europe where the purchasing power is higher. Apple people seem to be a certain subsegment of computer users even in Europe, and they may not necessarily constitute the large part of any significant engineering segment anywhere - unlike the US, where Apple usage is quite high in certain subsegments among the technical people.

Normal people around here (W Europe) dont even know about 'Windows'. They know about their 'computer'. And 'the Internet', which is actually the web browser in their laptop. These are not uneducated dumb people either. Any normal, non-techie person, including other white collar professionals. They mostly know about various software that is heavily used in business though - Excel, Word, Powerpoint etc. Or SAP etc, if they are more specialized professionals.

...

What Im thinking is that the reduction in demand of computers and laptops is because existing hardware has developed quite beyond the needs of the majority of users. An average, 75%ile gaming laptop that comes in for ~1500-1700 euros these days, is capable of running most AAA games with good quality visuals and performance. They are capable of running any game from the last decade and earlier. And they are as cheap as an equivalent desktop - which may or may not bring any visible performance and quality improvement. This is the most taxing application that the majority uses and other stuff like business software are in no way anything demanding compared to these, so why someone who bought a new laptop 2-3 years ago need another one today...

This could only change with a new paradigm like consumer-grade, locally installed AI applications or virtual reality bumping up the hardware requirements. Or, through (probably soon to be illegal) planned obsolescence.

Civil rights, including those in the First Amendment, are not absolute. Regarding speech, you also can't harass people, threaten them, defraud them, incite violence, distribute copyrighted information that isn't yours, interfere with others' activities (sing loudly in a movie theater), etc. Private entities such as your employer can restrict your speech in many ways.

ARCServe was a Computer Associates product. That's all you need to know.

It had a great reputation on Novell Netware but the Windows product was a mess. I never had a piece of backup management software cause blue screens (e.g. kernel panics) before an unfortunate Customer introduced me to ARCServe on Windows.

I hate that what was definitely intended as a joke originally turned into this massive miscommunication and flame war. Admittedly tone is hard to convey on the internet, and italics is no replacement for a good old fashioned ":P". But this could have been a good place for everyone to work together, rather than flame one another.

It's certainly an experience that everyone can learn from.

This is genuinely incredible.
A 'post-mortem' outage report from an AI, on the outage of OpenAI would be pretty epic.

Describe all failure modes you failed to see and describe in detail how these services failed, do not make up or lie, but describe what failed in sequence and list the services affected by each process which failed due to the cascade and also be as technically detailed as possible with links to specific documentation on how to handle or fix each failure
Yeah, to be frank - it's totally on brand for the stuff coming out of this government.
I am nowhere near well versed in US student-loans to learn much about your claim based on that link. I would love some more explanation of how those data support your claim.
ChatGPT is arguably a better tool for thinking than writing on a text editor, though.
I was mostly joking but I will say part of the appeal of ChatGPT is 1) it is centralized so basically any question I have I can go to chatGPT versus hunting and pecking on the internet 2) answers are tailored to my needs versus a blog or stackoverflow which will often be close to but not exactly what I need. I’ll survive a few hours downtime but these damn jest timers just got much more annoying to deal with.

>So people who make money from collecting them don't have to dig in trash. Pure humanity.

I've lived in Germany, and this was one of the things I quickly adopted after seeing the locals doing it. An interesting anecdote is that can/bottle collectors always approached me asking if I'm finished with my drink (I had a drink outside almost daily), but I never felt threatened or anything. They were generally super polite, I'd usually reply with "I'll leave it here" and they went along their way. Very different experience than anywhere else!
That's mostly CYA. The safety considerations are pretty obvious to anyone that knows how to drive an ultrasound transducer and it takes a lotta power to cause an ultrasound burn. Nothing in this universe is "without risk".

Also worth mentioning that there are practical uses for such high power levels which you'd never use for imaging. Eg therapeutic ultrasound

That said, I think we should be working towards a world where they're unnecessary. As a middle party to what ought to be a developer/developer trust relationship, they're attack surface that threatens depender sometimes and dependee other times.
