Definitely already seeing illegal content (in basically any jurisdiction) being advertised. Really interesting look into how much of a moderation and legal service nightmare running this site must be.
I’ve thought of this as well. Maybe even inline assembly which might actually be something like JS/python/rust. It might look like inline SQL does now.
Amen. This is will have a permanent place in my bookshelf. I actually found that implementing some of the papers was very valuable (and joyful). Not only that this stuff points you to a lot more research generated after the book. Even better is that each paper you implement imo was very self contained on its own so you can build and use as you go.
Germany really takes the price when it comes to (torrent-based) piracy. The lawyers around it created a nice little ecosystem for themselves. Honeypot torrents and all. They have such a nice system that they don't go for the torrent sites, just milk the torrenters.
I’m not sure it matters much that the current model can’t reproduce Harry Potter verbatim. If it can do smaller more quoted works now, it’ll tackle larger more obscure things in the future. It’s just a matter of time until it can output large copyrighted works, meaning the question of what to do when that happens is pretty relevant right now.
I dunno. Theres some experimentation with 2.1, but the consensus seems to be that it produces inferior output to 1.5 outside of some niches, and thats before taking the 768x768 1.5 finetunes into account.

Deepfloyd is niche.

SDXL is indeed interesting, especially if its happy with 4/8 bit quant... we will see about that.

Nevertheless StabilityAI seems kinda disconnected from all the innovations going on in the community compared to, say, huggingface.
I'm a big believer that toddlers are a large contribution to behavior analytics and dictate modern design by analytics.

They're the ones that will click on ads and "browse" a site. They interact in a much richer way than I do.

I've often heard that a sites most "active" users seem to be women in their mid 30s. That's because those stats include the woman and the toddlers she hands the phones to.

I've been frequently flabbergasted how these obvious observations come across as novel to people I talk to, as if 2 year olds have their own email address and password.

I even heard someone say unboxing and cartoon videos "somehow" are popular among women in their 30s.

I mean come on now...
I've been using omnifocus since before it came out. It was supposed to be a GTD strategy for me, but honestly it just captures a lot of things, many of which just enter the inbox but never get used.

I'd say it is 90% unused.

But the other 10% really supports the important things I need to do or remember, even if I have to pull stuff out of a pile of other stuff.

I never forget things at the store, ideas for an active project are always recorded, I always have a list of movies I need to see captured from many sources, and yes... I empty my mind immediately and don't have to stress for the forgotten.

I wonder if this is how I'll avoid the ravages of age that affected the old people I knew when I was a kid. "I forget what I was going to the store for" or "what was that person's name?" etc...

DNS is de facto decentralized. Stand up your own root, it's that simple.

DNSSEC has no bearing on how centralized something is - it works the same on the current system as it would on your own new DNS system.
I'm wondering, how does this impact employee's "monetary value" scores? Do the product and engineering managers who pushed these federally illegal schemes receive negative values? Do they get fired?

I think people should know about parsing, but I don't think the material on parsing in most compiler books (LL parsing, shift-reduce conflicts, etc.) is particularly relevant.

I've had good experiences using parser combinator libraries. They are straight-forward to use, and to write, and expressive. Beyond that, it's seeing how to breakdown a parsing problem into a grammar that I think is the main skill.

No, they're not the same. In Jenga you usually lose in a way that you know could have been avoided. "If I had just held my hand still" or whatever. That is not what this is. This game is frustrating because it was poorly designed not because it is "hard".

Correcting mistakes is a pain point, but really applies to DNS as a whole rather than just DNSSEC.

I think a lot of the problem stems from people using really long TTLs for the keys, which used to be the standard advice.

That said, as someone who used to manage DNS and DNSSEC at a TLD level, I will admit that documentation and best practices are poor. I remember asking someone why it was this way, and he told me it was because people want to make money contracting, so were less than willing to make it accessible.

Once you understand what's happening, you can make a little cheat sheet and it's actually really simple. But it seems like everyone forges ahead their own way, myself included.

Wait, what? How can I be my own certificate authority?
Given the models are too small to possibly contain enough information to reproduce anything with any fidelity, that’s the only possibility - if it creates something similar to an original work, it’s similarity is fairly poor. Where it can do well is when the copyright material is something simple, like a super man logo. But even then it’s always slightly off.
Depends on enforcement and extradition. A lot of pirate video streaming sites such as Fmovies are based out of Vietnam for example, which has no extradition treaty to the US and there appears to be some tacit approval from local political actors.
Great. I've created a LLM that trains on Hollywood movies. Well, that's rather a Large Movie Model, or LMM.
> as a technical matter it's pretty obvious that LLMs create copies of (some of) their training data.

Browsers also create copies of the viewed data. Computers hold in memory a copy of everything they're working on.

The central point is for how long, and to what purpose. This law is not about making copies or not, but what happens after.
Thanks, that's fascinating, and so different from my own experience. I'm driven by some similar forces towards nature and mountains and hadn't considered this perspective.
Dude, he absolutely loves to talk about incentives.

Now that’s neither here nor there response to yours… but since he is so in tune with the concept of incentives, and likes to discuss them, it does make me curious what his incentives are that he is acting on.
Cheers for your solidarity, means a lot (same goes to the other two guys who complained)
What if I think both things. That emergence of cognitive capabilities from 'stacking more layers' is a nuclear weapon level technology in terms of impact on the course of civilization, and also that I would never believe anything that Sam Altman says at face value.
Sorry if I misinterpreted your comment, but the last sentence reads like a snark. Why did you have to go from “the basics” to “read half a compiler book”? Most developers don’t even seem to read a single Wikipedia article on it.
$12k for 50M requests, wow. It seems Reddit has taken the twitter way out.
If they just wanted to ban third party apps, they should have the balls to do it rather than pull all this stuff.
Games sometimes do come to the front page of HN, especially if they do something new or deeply-nerdy. Wordle and 2048 come to mind as past front-pagers. Why those? They're superficially simple, but it's quite challenging (i.e. fun) to analyze them and figure out "optimal" strategies.

I wouldn't say HN is primarily a business-oriented community; its interests are eclectic.

It is copyright infringement - but it was you who promoted the production of the copyright violations who is at fault. The model isn’t specifically any more a copyright violation than a browser cache or a photocopier. The person who uses the machine to produce violations is at fault, not the thing that in addition to legitimate transformed works can be used to produce copyright violations. As a company hosting such a service my goal would be similar to YouTube where I do a best effort to monitor for violation and guard rail the best I can. But I shouldn’t be held liable for your intentional use of a product for ill so long as I did do that best effort.
We're all fucking doomed. All these "clever" comparisons between AI and human processes (e.g. "training an AI is just like a human learning"), is not elevating AI to the status of a real person. It's degrading real human creations to homogeneous "content" that is increasingly seen as equivalent to what can be churned out by a GPU farm.

50 years from now we'll still be listening to "AI Eminem" while watching "Avengers Midgame 12, The Revengening" and any concept of cultural or artistic expression beyond what will sell next quarter will be dead and buried.
This kind of drama is just sad.

try to do something extremely basic with *only* HTML. Think "hello, world" in HTML. From there, add some tiny bits of complexity, like changing the font/colors, or adding a form. Learn how to submit the form without JS, then with JS. Now, add buttons with event handlers. By this point you've covered almost everything. I used a similar technique to teach my first employee how to be a web developer, and he started with almost no experience. Don’t worry about frameworks or libraries until you know how browsers and HTML work.
4chan will never "get better" because if that happens it'll cease to be 4chan as we know it. /b/ has always been an open pit sewer that the occasional nugget of gold flows through. /trv/ is where I like to hang out, but /pol/ can't help itself and likes to crap-post in there on the regular. /gif/ and it's blue board, "safe for work," version /wsg/ are fun to browse, but the 4chanX extension and some filters are needed to hide a lot of the trolling and truly awful stuff while browsing.
I have a reddit post database with ~6 million unique post titles and through various manual means I've identified ~100,000 of these post titles that _are_ spam.

First, I parsed the posts for the most common phrases at varying lengths, hand identifying 3,730 individual strings that I felt indicated spam within the post title, post body, reddit username, reddit user description or comment bodies.

These strings are then checked against new or updated records and things are flagged as spam as needed.

It's been weeks since I've had to manually intervene and identify more spam strings - that's not to say I won't need to eventually as trends and techniques change (or, as it happens - reddit's api changes), but this was a fantastically successful means for identifying and analyzing obvious spam.

Beyond the above, I used what was a relatively simple approach to identify similar post titles to those that were determined to be spam for a "if you thought that was spam then you'll probably think this is too..." type feature that was very effective.

If reddit's api changes weren't happening I'd have already started training an ML model/NN or whatever chatGPT told me was the best one to use in order to classify these objects from the existing data.

Ironically, all of this was in order to offer moderation bots to subreddits to help handle the spam problem.

I started with scraping the API to play with meilisearch as a search engine but was just awestruck at the amount of _obvious_ spam that was getting through automod/reddit's own spam filtering (if there is any?) before being published/available via the API. I just didn't want to store all the metadata I was generating for all the spam posts and couldn't depend on reddit to police the issues on their end.

Now they're still unable to get a handle on spam - but also cutting off the developers trying to help them.

>The problem with AI generated images, in this context, is that they can be used to imitate the style of specific artists, meaning any unique talent and vision those artists have no longer has market value

I Agree, those who produce the training data or the thing that the AIs work will be based on, should be properly compensated.

I loved this paragraph:

You observe this with types. Dynamic types feel faster, at the REPL, when you’re coding at 1Hz, because you’re not factoring in the (unseen) cost of future bugs, the cost of refactors you won’t do because you don’t have the confidence to refactor which static types give you, the cost of legacy software that can’t be replaced because it can’t be understood by anyone, the cost of a Python server doing four requests per second while you pay five figures to AWS every month.

Piped and Invidious.

I prefer Invidious for vague reasons, though either it or the instance I use most often seems to fail about 25--50% of the time on videos, with more popular content (e.g., music) failing most often, so I'll fall back to Piped.

Otherwise I use mpv / ytdl, and in fact greatly prefer that approach.

For those prefering a standalone GUI, there's VLC.

How involved are you in the WASM/WASI community?

One trick to make it easier: set all relevant TTLs to 1 minute before trying something dangerous. Plenty of resolvers ignore that, but the main ones (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, etc.) respect that.

I had the power turned off at home about a year ago. I think it was due to maintenance by the utilities company, or maybe I did it for DIY reasons.

Anyway, after it came back on, it took me far too long to realise why my internet was down. All DNS responses were being rejected. It turns out, my Pi-Hole DNS server - which had forgotten the time, of course - was trying to resolve the IP of an NTP server so it could fetch the current time, but this name resolution was over DNSSEC which requires the current time. You need the time to get the time.

I turned off DNSSEC and haven't looked back since.

I think this is an avenue LLMs will shine. Contextual search. "I was writing about one idea for an app I had a few weeks back. I think it had something to do with a calendar? Can you help?" And that should be enough for GPT4 to actually act on I'd say.
Tamils mostly take pride in the age of their language and its continued use till date. They also make their identity around this. They don't claim that every language originated from theirs or that computers need to be programmed with Tamil.

Hardly pragmatic; this page seems to be little more than rah-rah Haskell evangelism. (And I like Haskell!).

Making it hard to YOLO your I/O does not seem to be paying off very well for Haskell; the cost in adoption often outweighs the gain in safety. Yes, Django codebases occasionally have bugs due to I/O happening at the wrong time, but that's pretty far down the list of causes of bugs in Django codebases.

Likewise the argument against macros seems to be driven by nothing more than personal taste. (And again, I dislike macros! But you have to actually make the argument why they're bad. Certainly my experience is that checking generated code into source control is worse, not better)
The union work turns out to be a lot because compiler extensions and simd<> barely support anything beyond operators.

Examples of what's missing: interleaved load/store, compress/expand, software AES/CLMUL, popcount, lzcnt, saturated add/sub, 128-bit compare/minmax, fixed-point mul, mask find/set, masked load/store, scatter/gather, reductions.

Highway supports those (and >200 operations in total) on all platforms.

nothing is stopping you from starting conservative versions of things on reddit. Reddit has been since it started pretty left leaning, but they don't stop r/conservative from existing as long as they maintain some decorum rather than act like 4chan or r/TheDonald which was riddled with nuts and russian bots. There are a ton of conservative leaning subs on there, just don't expect them to have thousands of visitors like r/pics or r/memes . You can start r/ConservativeMemes and r/ConservativePics if you like!

I remember picking this book up at the university library in my second year because I had seen it in the movie “Hackers” and the cover looked really cool. I distinctly remember the parsing chapters especially recursive descent parsing. It was one of those light bulb “oh, this is how you do it” moments. Well worth spending a few weekends playing with that book, even if it’s somewhat dated, its like SICP in a sense more of a “mind expansion” device than anything else.
