I daily drive bith RDE/GNUguix (personal) and NixOS (with home manager) (work). Both work really well for my needs.

Pros for guix:
- guile scheme
- better documentation
- free software first
- strictness means things blow up early
- great emacs mode!

Cons for guix:
- goofy stack traces (guile debugger is nice but im not very proficient)

Pros for nix:
- more packages & services
- flakes, which makes it easy to lock in versions, though guix has channels. Flakes just feels easier to me imo.
- laziness
- sometimes better error messages

Cons for nix:
- laziness (infinite recursion)
- no debugger afaik, have to use repl which is useful but also sometimes clunky

Good resource on guix is system crafters (David Wilson)

What's wrong with bikes? I never seen anything about them on here, but are people just obnoxious about brands and types of bikes or something else?
Yeah, it's too late to shift it, but from everything I've seen when researching on Charity Navigator, leadership at non profits is viewed similarly as C-suite with regard to salary. I suspect it's probably because to be effective, it's much easier to just network at the level that C-suite professionals would, rather than the grassroots approach that requires raw labor, outreach, etc.

It's probably easier to get that guy you know who is high-up at Kroger to get involved in your charity in a mutually-beneficial way.

Or maybe I'm just really really over the edge jaded and cynical. It's probably that.
Bearing in mind emulated x86_64 programs run at a quarter of the speed of native RISC-V code, and today's best RISC-V SBCs run at a quarter of the speed of current Intel and AMD -- somewhere around late Pentium III to Pentium-M or early Core 2.

This emulator is going to run at something like Pentium II speeds on current RISC-V boards.

That's fine if you want to run late 90s (or earlier) x86 software at the same speed it ran on then. Except that will be i386 code, not x86_64.

RISC-V boards are getting faster pretty quickly, but we're still going to need a better x86_64 emulator to get a Rosetta2-like experience on RISC-V even once the CPUs catch up.

Good reasons not to assign copyright to their output, at least not without some caveats.
Supernotes is wonderful. The closest thing to Zettelkasten imo.
They work, for free as it appears from the company's accounting department, but they are earning money through other means.

My hunch is that the Apollo founder would be unwilling to participate in the same schemes.
“Reddit is a shitty web consolidation play that helped kill the internet. They rolled up a sea of phpbb and somehow made it worse.” I don’t know why I never thought of it this way, but that is 100% accurate.
Sure, but the key part there is "some of".

They're necessarily able to produce verbatim copies only of the most duplicated, most repeated, most cited works -- and it's precisely due to their popularity that they're the only things worth including verbatim.

I'm not going to opine on what the legality of that should be, but it's essentially the material considered most "quotable" in different contexts. I'm quite sure the entirety of Harry Potter isn't included, but I'm also sure that some of the most popular paragraphs probably are. It's analagous to the kind of stuff people memorize.

I'd expect an LLM to contain this stuff. If it didn't, it would be broken.

But there's a world of difference between copying all its training data (neither desirable nor occurring), versus being fluent in quotable stuff (both desirable and occuring).
This has been a challenge for me to overcome as well. Notes never really worked for me and, of course, simply remembering everything is neither possible nor productive. Personally, I've struck a middle ground that I've called [1]"Boomerang Thoughts". The idea being that the default stance is to let ideas go, expecting the good, compelling ones to come back. It's seemed to improve my ability to focus on important projects in the present and have a more limited, curated list of things that I am driven to act on next.

> It has been shown that image models can produce originals

Not in the general case, no. For the study done against Stable Diffusion [1], researchers were only able to reproduce about 0.03 percent of the images tested. Those were also believed to be cases of overfitting on images which were over-represented in the training data and they're not something you'd hit upon by accident.

Generative text models seen to be more problematic, depending on the subject. Code seems especially prone to overfitting, probably due to insufficient amounts of it compared to other text sources as well as lots of copying going on between the repos the models were trained on.

Simply use different IPs on the free tier, what's the need to pay anything at all?
It’s funny you say that, because my wife said the exact same thing and laughed so hard when we went to the carousel of progress last year!
"Here's your bill."

"Ok, here's my money."

Or you just leave money on the table and go.

There's no messing with cards or paper and signing. The back and forth etc.

That goes like triple for bars where you just hand over money vs, asking to open or close and putting it in the computer etc.

Quality because they are so good they don't need to do worry about alternative forms of payment.

Affordability because the price is the price, no fees and they are making so much money they aren't worried about maximizing tickets and table time metrics and all that.

It's definitely not going to be a corporate establishment. The owner is probably in the business and they want it to be good because that's where they eat.
Ask HN: What are startups doing about twitters $1k/mth charge to advertise?
The startups I advise are getting messages from twitter that they can no longer advertise unless they go through the twitter verification program. Originally it was just twitter blue that was required ($8/mth), but now it seems that twitter requires all advertisers to go through full verification. This is $1,000/mth - I'm wondering if other startups are paying it, or if you're no longer advertising on twitter?

I am the sole developer of https://rdddeck.com; I have not receive any mails; where can I find more information regarding what will be rate-limited starting July 1st?
The owners of intellectual properties still hold the copyright, the law refers to the training of neural networks, it doesn't really change anything if you use the work of another person by simply copy and paste or by overfitting a generative model, the owner of the work still has the copyright on it.
> it was (and still is) a pain to version control notebooks in a way that’s conducive to collaboration. For practical purposes, you cannot perform code reviews of notebooks on GitHub without purchasing a tool called ReviewNB.

I have always been really surprised that the IPython developers made the choice to use JSON despite it being unusable with git (and despite them being excellent software engineers). This is one reason I never use notebooks (though not as big as the difficulty of developing with all that long-lived mutable state). Have they ever commented on this?

I have the same workspace for work and making music. But I can totally understand the desire to make them separate.

For some reason, it just seems that I am forcing myself to make music. If I take a mini MIDI keyboard and make music somewhere else, it's much easier to do.
Have you served as an expert witness in child abuse/child DV cases?

Most of the research focuses on intracranial injuries, especially subarachnoid hemorrhaging. Do you have a generic sense of the specificity of something like subconjunctival hemorrhages or rib fractures in the absence of other intracranial injuries?
Fair enough, that sounds unpleasant! I've worked at companies that routinely get accused of being "woke" and Pride rarely entails more than maybe getting some rainbow-washed swag; if your company's dragging you into the breakroom for a store-bought cake with rainbow sprinkles and a lecture on how not to get the company sued, you have my sincere condolences :) Personally, the only corporate holiday celebration I want is a day off.
> I'm quite sure the entirety of Harry Potter isn't included, but I'm also sure that some of the most popular paragraphs probably are. It's analagous to the kind of stuff people memorize.

No, you are wrong about this. There are good reasons to believe the model memorized the entirety of Harry Potter, as well as Fifty Shades of Grey, inclusive of unremarkable paragraphs, the kind of stuff people will never memorize. Berkeley researchers made a systematic investigation of this. See what I wrote elsewhere.

Certainly not in what it will buy in the USA.

Wages definitely are not driving inflation, wages will never keep up very well nor catch up.

Prices will never come down, except in unusual circumstances like overblown bubbles in market-based commodities where the market controls the value more so than underlying utility.

In addition to the many other solutions mentioned, Cloudflare can export an OpenAPI spec from the proxied traffic.

Optic/UseOptic does a similar traffic watch and spec export from local builds.
Humans can memorize their training data too... aka see something and then produce a copy (code, drawing, music etc). The principles underlying how LLMs and humans learn isn't really that different... just different levels of loss/fuzziness.
I got banned from a sports related subreddit for spreading misinformation by saying, "Helmets do not and cannot prevent concussions." The mod's justification was, "That is the entire point of helmets."

Perhaps the mod has taken too many to the ol'noggin.
That seems to run completely counter of the findings of another recent paper, published a week ago by former Fed chair Ben Bernanke and former IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard:

https://www.axios.com/2023/05/30/new-paper-predicts-rising-w...

The paper seems to indicate that the labor market did not affect inflation early on, but will continue to drive inflation henceforth.

From the paper:

> However, even as the effects of price shocks have waned, the effects of tight labor markets have begun to cumulate. Our decomposition shows that, as of early 2023, tight labor market conditions still accounted for a minority share of excess inflation. But according to our analysis, that share is likely to grow and will not subside on its own. The portion of inflation which traces its origin to overheating of labor markets can only be reversed by policy actions that bring labor demand and supply into better balance.

Here's the paper:

I've also had success with drf + drf-spectacular and then using the output OpenAPI spec to generate a typescript-react client with a third-party code generator.

It mostly just works, like you said, and almost acts as a framework guardrail: if the inferred client types are comprehensive and unsurprising then the view tends to be concise; a wonky type indicates there may be something nonstandard in the view that could be fixed by cleaner framework-abiding code.
What do you mean by remembering which notes can be linked
> Are there faster more productive ways though?

I mean, given that you pose this question and leave it entirely unanswered, the rest of your response reads pretty condescendingly to me. A knowledge graph in markdown is not propped up by Big Notetaking, what an asinine stance.

If you believe this it implies you have gone full malthusian, because the innovation engine that made Google possible could also disappear Google, but without that engine we are all screwed.
"Engagement maximizer" also aligns with descriptions of the anti-religion of the future I've seen. What does engage people the most? Romans knew it's bread and circuses, where circuses are bloody cruel shows on public stadiums. Today the most engaging activity is onlyfans and the like: the other dark side of human nature. Dial both to 11, add an all seeing AI with merciless thought police and you'll get an accurate picture of 2450 AD. The only variable is how long that grim stage of society will last before the tech breaking down.

I'm not going to pay YouTube for their service only for them to harvest my data to sell for even more money.

If I could just pay for the service without Google's malicious intents, then I would have no problem paying for YouTube Premium.

Same goes for Reddit and all the other bad actors.
Eh. You can be more incompetent.
Why should it be true?

Remember, you're making an ought statement, not an is statement.

Personally, I think it shouldn't be true because large language models are clearly economically and socially destructive.

Pretty simple system.
I think the article could easily be rewritten from the perspective of "dumping your excess thoughts / stream of consciousness into note files for later examination or future discarding is good because..."

Because as mentioned, some notes are evolving documents, and others are just scrap files. And I do get a lot of value out of shelving thoughts and ideas for many of the reasons the article describes. It's just written as an unnecessarily grand sweeping generalization.
>> while Russia is better than ever.

In same fairytale, that may be so. In the real world, oil and gas revenue is 40% of Russia's federal budget and down -52% YoY as of April, so that's more than -20% from oil and gas alone gone before taking collapse of other exports and explosion of military expenditure into account. At this rate, we'll see a replay of 1998 soon.
No that is the children's version. CPI cannot go down without housing going down. Housing will not go down unless we have a massive rise in foreclosures. It's not about consumers reaching the point where they cannot consume. It's about making them homeless.

This sounds cruel but it is the only counterweight to runaway housing costs, if we are going to live in a world where housing is an investment and we restrict new supply severely.

I agree on land being the “commons”.

If a server with nothing on it is just taking up space, then the users will have no problem spinning their own up and replacing Reddit or whatever.
He has a point about digital hoarding. But that isn't the whole story about taking notes. Not everybody takes notes because of some twisted quirk rooted in evolutionary behaviour, really. Some of us take notes because... we need to remember things, a lot of things.

The acid test for note taking is: do you get back to your notes, process, organize, sieve, tidy and reformat them regularly?

So have a free insight if you're writing a note taking app: make it useful for serious note takers.
In regards to the idea of reddit rent-seeking - the primary value of reddit is not something they create, it's something they _host_. It could be anywhere, but by dint of network effects, it happens to be there. Reddit is not valuable because it owns a serverfarm, or even because it employs people to maintain the serverfarm. It's valuable because it controls a cultural meetingpoint.

Aggressive control of the meetingpoint (which it is able to do), is rent-seeking because reddit controls _access_ to the value, but does not create the value. You were making a point that reddit doesn't provide literally nothing. That's true, but it's a red herring. Reddit provides some things, but not the actually-important things.

edit: I'm sorry, you were not making that point. I was responding to that point.

Reddit users get less than nothing? Then why were they using Reddit’s computers in the first place?
I testified to the US Copyright Office this morning on AI in their roundtable session on AI and music[1]. A good portion of the focus of this panel was on whether copyrighted inputs (in this case, sound recordings and musical compositions) being fed into AI models for training purposes could plausibly constitute a fair use under existing US copyright law.

Some of the comments here are missing the context of the recent (a week or so ago) Supreme Court decision in the Goldsmith/Warhol case[2], in which the Court ruled that transformativeness is not dispositive in and of itself in the context of a fair use defense to a copyright infringement claim. Of course, this has not been put to the test in the courts in the context of AI training yet, but it seems fairly clear that this ruling would likely extend to AI training on copyrighted works.

We (rightsholders in the music industry) hope to come to win-win licensing arrangements with the AI community and allow access to our songs for AI training purposes if the artist/writer so desires. There are some early talks in progress. Cautiously optimistic. Japan's approach seems short-sighted and desperate.

What makes AI click, what makes it snake oil, and how to tell the difference
Derivative work is not protected from copyright. As long as the “user” of the model does their due diligence, and ensures they are not infringing on copyrights - they are golden.

But here in lies the challenge. Are there reasonable methods available to ”users” for checking their works against infringement?

I don’t think so. We’ll need a centralized searchable database of all copyrighted work. Who is going to build that? To make matters more complicated, every country has their own copyright certification process. Maybe Google with its means can build something like this.

In any case, this is uncharted territory.

Beat the entire thing in an hour. This game was creative, challenging, and frustrating. Have my angry upvote.
Writing something down in order to lose that “weight” is indeed the main goal of note-taking.

But most apps make this surprisingly hard… you first need to figure out if you should create a new note or append to an existing one. If new note, then in which folder? If existing note, then which one?

It’s too much mental burden when all you want ia jot something down and be sure you’ll find it later.

I made an app that’s great at this, just this. It’s basically an infinite page where you write everything down, in one continuous stream. Then it has some basic tagging and search so you can find stuff again.

The explanation is less interesting than the fact they chose not to be upfront in their PR about the limitations of their original license. Personally, I don't care what terms they choose - but I do care if they misrepresent them. Honesty is important, and they weren't.

But all that's void now that they've gone Apache.
> Reddit is not valuable because it owns a serverfarm, or even because it employs people to maintain the serverfarm. It's valuable because it controls a cultural meetingpoint.

How did it come to control a cultural meeting point? Was it because they owned a server farm and employed people to create a website people wanted to use at the right time and the right place?

> Reddit provides some things, but not the actually-important things.

This will be easily proven by people moving from Reddit to an alternative. Or disproven by not moving to an alternative.
