Except these models are not designed to circumvent copyright, in fact their primary purpose is to generate non-copyright and non-copyrightable output. It can be induced to product facsimiles of copyright material, but that’s explicitly not the purpose or intent and requires positive action on the users behalf to occur.
SPA being a problem was last decade. Headless chromium is pretty standard for scraping nowadays.
The business’s servers, bandwidth, and employees are “commons” now?
Can't speak for rarbg, but plenty of piracy adjacent sites have a DMCA takedown program[0] to operate under this loophole. That way, most content survives but they are "protected"

You can already use GPU on Linux with M1 max and M2, so M2 max shouldn't be far away. (https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support)
It's already bad enough that my toddler can order photo canvases of a picture of himself getting ketchup out of the fridge via the Google Photos app. (He even chose expedited shipping . . . to our old address!)

Fortunately we got a refund from customer service the first time. The second time, I saw the email soon enough to cancel within the 2 hour deadline. (This was after removing all our payment info from the phone, which was the only way I could see to enforce that he couldn't do it again, but then someone made a payment and ended up saving the payment method again.)

I feel like it's only a matter of time before it happens again; at least the address is correct now so we'd actually receive the item if we were unable to cancel/refund.
Honestly a dumb conversation from the admin if you ask me. Let's say Christian is using 3x the requests for whatever reason. That just means he's on the hook for a $6 million bill at the end of the year if he optimizes things. There's not really a big difference here.
The positives that the majority of people seem to bring up about Reddit could be replicated with the pre-reddit forum culture that had the UX of a pre-forum threaded chat. In fact one would argue that the internet was more diverse during the pre-reddit forum era, and that reddit has capitalised on the growing number of internet users instead. Virtually all of the other aspects of Reddit have been increasingly detested (major subreddits) or are being replaced by other services such as TikTok.
Well, from the description I gathered the service was going to “TURN (existing) scripts INTO internal tools”. Not “provide a front-end to a framework where you write brand new code to integrate with your business logic”… The first mode seems to add a relatively large amount of value for relatively low effort given the management scripts that already exist. The second seems more like a framework only useful for processes you spend the effort to migrate. Was hoping to see a Rundeck competitor but got an Internal competitor instead?
Several popular reddit clients could team up, launch the site but require a small monthly subscription fee (which these clients already collect).

Even $1 per month is enough to keep a lot of the outrage junkies out and you can use the revenue to pay for moderation of the smaller group of power users that remain.
Correct. https://twitter.com/bioreconstruct/status/112740656406999040...
Could you make it opt-in? I suppose some people want to go to DDG to find the weather, but I never would. If I want a local business, I open Maps and search. I would never want any location data to influence any of my searches.

Fundamentally you're advocating for a web that doesn't rely on ad money. I'm totally with you, but the discussion should probably expand beyond the web and to why our society generate so much ad money in the first place.

What should we do to free our societies from ad money ?
Java typically elides most allocations in hot loops where objects don't escape.
A novel trajectory concept for a mission to the Inner Large Moons of Saturn
Heat shields are not trivial but they're achievable with 1950s era technology. If you pay the mass penalty you can just use a big "dumb" ablative heat shield. With a bomb you don't need to build anything too sophisticated, it only needs to work once and you don't want it back.

With a rocket capable of getting a meaningful payload to LEO you've got the power to pay that mass penalty if the trajectory is ballistic.

None of this is "easy" but it comes along with developing orbital capabilities. This is why Sputnik's launch was such a big deal to defense planners. If the Soviet Union could get a little satellite into a stable LEO it could deliver a warhead to the continental US.
No, I think these models should be treated for what they are - a bunch of numbers. It’s like trying to treat encryption as special. It’s just code.

There may be some specific applications that require regulation or control. That’s ok. But the underlying fundamental technologies should be open and free.
Throw in the videos from the rest of the internet, and you might actually do it…
You're piling speculation on speculation. Broken Windows has never held up to scrutiny. Neely served jail time for his assault charges and was known to be severely mentally ill. Witnesses also all confirmed he did not attack anyone on the train. DAs and police do their jobs appropriately. You sound like a conservative media bubble denizen who has never been near a city.
>> Many engineers lose hours a week fielding requests from other teams.

>So what exactly are you solving for?

Not who you are asking, but "fielding requests" needn't only be writing the script but could also be running it because the end user isn't comfortable with the command line. With a more friendly UI around the script, the end user can be provided the link to a webpage and they can run it themselves.
The level headed approach is to handle an extraordinary claim with skepticism until an extraordinary level of evidence is presented.

Why are these videos always so grainy, out of focus, and otherwise unclear? Perhaps when clear and unambiguous video is captured there is no mystery…
> That's true, but now it's incredibly easy to create a human-quality bullshit paper.

No, it's incredibly easy to create human-quality syntax. Not meaning. The source of the value was never the paper or the syntax - it was the meaning of the paper. Whether a human or an AI creates bullshit matters not.
Regardless is it true or false, so what? GP indicated that the feature is useful at least in some markets.
Alternatively, use org-mode and save your file with the save button.
Because some people grew up poor and without much access to content. Then they learned about this thing in the 90’s called the internet where you can share information with anyone for free.

So said poor person learned programming and other skills to get a tracker working so that they could give back to others who are in the same boat.

This way the poor kid (who’s family can’t afford lunch, let alone a 10€ /month Disney + subscription) can chat with their rich friends at the lunch table about the latest marvel film the week it releases and god forbid, fit in for once.
>That said, I also don't see how these things can justify one's decisions to steal from others in the same place. At the very least

When the system is literally rigged against you with things like... and I can't stress this enough... literal inherited tax advantages. Again, I think it's hard to argue that the legal system isn't bordering on tyranny.

Thankfully we can already see changes moving forward at the state level, but I see the increases in property crime as something akin to the beginnings of a type of political revolution.

I live in this area. I am quite well off. It's still quite difficult for even me to find or afford a place to live.

>Within a few hundred miles of SF are tons of options.

This is just ridiculous. There aren't any serious economic opportunities 100 miles from SF. If someone is trying to make their way through life as dishwasher, expecting them to travel 200 miles per day is an absurdity.

I want to be very clear here, I'm not a bleeding heart. I'm just saying, we look back at the great depression, we see hoovervilles. We are living through an extended post-depression era where we never had a New Deal or WW2 to give jobs and homes to the less well off. Instead they turned to opiates and meth, and this is what happens.
Definitely one of the core challenges of the game, and understandably not to everyone’s taste. I learned that I inadvertently swipe in a slight arc on the first puzzle and enjoyed learning to move precisely.
I would guess that the ram requirement is because that presumes memcached, postgresql, and redis are all running co-resident with Zulip; if your setup can split those apart (because you have them sized independently, or because your "cloud" offers hosted versions of them) then I'd guess the Zulip container itself will likely get away with a lot less ram

As always, my suspicion is that you'll get better help jumping into chat.zulip.org and describing your concerns
Twister but for fingers
I don't think this is the main reason people don't open source data. If your data is high quality and others are using it to find interesting stuff then you are going to get citations and authorship on additional publications with minimal work, which sounds like a great ROI. The reason data doesn't get open sourced is because researchers are not actually confident in the data and don't want their other works to be exposed.
How does that work for clients though. Should Apollo ship a headless chromium in their mobile app
Brave is okay. I don't like that copying a URL on mobile requires one tap, while everywhere else you tap and hold to select. I also hate the tiles that replaced the list of "tabs." And I don't like the fact that it's based on Chromium.
This will require a cpp port first to run on e.g. apple silicon?
I think he's misinterpreting what is happening. Bard can now return images that Google crawls from the web. Bard didn't generate the image. Its returning the image that he used Stable Diffusion to generate because he uploaded it to a site that was then crawled. The Prompt Hunt badge is acknowledging Prompt Hunt as the source. Thats also why the same prompt returns in the same image.

Bard was updated to do this on 5/23/23:

Bringing images to Bard

What: Starting with English responses, Bard can now bring in images from Google Search, so you can get helpful responses with visuals. You can also ask Bard for images directly. Bard will show a source for each image.
Why: Images can help you communicate your ideas more effectively. They can bring concepts to life, make recommendations more persuasive, and enhance responses when you ask for visual information.
Air Quotes, also called Finger Quotes
I think the most important thing to realise is that electricity is becoming a bit like a common tool that _anyone_ should be able to wield to do amazing things.

Fire is just as dangerous as electricity, it's just that you can visibly see, feel and smell the danger before being burnt.

Electricity is silently dangerous, but education and maybe a bit more safety via simplicity would be really cool to see (e.g. light weight non-intrusive gloves that glow if near electric fields).
Reddit is rarely the best source for anything except maybe a discussion on a news event around 2015. Quora was always a little better but has gone down the drain as well. But never I have added "reddit" to my searches.
Presumption on innocence in a legal sense is a reflection of the reality that an absolute minority of the population are criminals, and a random person approaching you in the street is not out to rob you.

This assumption doesn't work that way in Haiti or El Salvador - you have to allow for hostile intentions of strangers or you'll get burned.

In a more benign plane, presumption of innocence allows you to pay strangers upfront and expect delivery of what you ordered. You can only do that because there are stiff consequences for misusing this trust.
There are a multitude of ways that the boards they received could have been tampered with or even switched out and replaced with exact replicas without Supermicros knowledge or assistance.

As it says in the audit that Supermicro themselves performed "A representative sample of our motherboards were tested..." which basically means nothing since they didn't examine the boards in question. Lest we forget[0]. I doubt the NSA are the only ones engaging in this type of behaviour.

So as the Bitcoin people like to say "don't trust verify".

AFAIK they can run OpenGL.

Thats a far cry from full metal and vulkan support. My main interest would be running AI models (which are probably going to need metal or vulkan on a linux Apple GPU), and the secondary interest would be Proton games (though Vulkan).
You have a point. He has a lot of power users and many don't want to pay. Many others may be willing to, but I don't think paid users alone is enough to sustain a site.

However, of all of the Reddit alternatives that have popped up and failed, this one seems promising because there is a broad base of users that are all angry at once. In the past, it has always been fringe groups that have been banned and sought another site. Because of that, the subject matter of the new site always had challenges getting site hosts and advertisers on board. This is different. Having power users hurts on ad revenue but potentially helps on site quality. I don't know what will happen but this is a uniquely promising opportunity. We'll see how it goes.
> There's people out there maintaining immense ad filter lists and executable countermeasures against ad blocker detection.

This is not a useful comparison. A failure of an ad blocker means you don't see an ad while using the service. Big deal. A failure of a reverse engineered glorified web scraper is that the app stops working, completely, for all users of the client, at once, until someone fixes it.

Yes, it could be democratized, but most users wouldn't understand any of this, and say "ugh, this app never works". It would be a user experience that reddit could make as terrible as they wanted.
"Unauthorised Bread"

Evolutionary biology is particularly easy to teach from first principles. That's one of the things which makes exploring it, as a scientific process, fun.
I guess though I'm kind of curious why they don't just raise their rates to the account for the actual cost of insuring there? I assume probably some regulation or volatility...
Another step in the right direction for helping all those extremely talented secops/cloudops engineers with freeing up some time in their day and sleeping easier at night.
Tried it, it's a pretty bad test as most of the other humans aren't even trying.

Also it seems like they've run out of OpenAI credits because you seem to always get a human.
> There's a distinction between "learning from" and "copying".

Neural nets can memorize their training data. Generally that isn't what you want, and you strive to eliminate it. However, it could instead be encouraged to happen if someone wanted to exploit this law in order to abuse copyrights.
This really doesn't work in the context of AI training though. Sure, it would make reuse between models a lot harder, perhaps, but the general idea still holds, once a model is trained, the model is for forever.
I agree for rising interest rates, however I don't believe anything Tether exec - btw, come on, he's the 'IT guy' - real execs are hiding for like 10 years already.

Their books and what they pretend to be invested in, have been proven false several times. Remember first time they published their attestation ?

Numbers didn't add up at all - according to their numbers they were like top 10 US commercial paper holders - almost Berkshire Hathaway size. Except, you can't be anonymous trading that, so traders know who they trade with. And guess what ? It turned out that no commercial paper trading desk in the US heard of Tether.

FTX numbers were bullshit. Tether is 10x worse.

I think the bug here is Bard describing using a pen to draw image etc, which implies that it was generated by Bard rather than crawled from the web.
Sometimes when you think you only changed one variable during a time span, multiple variables may have changed.
DataView is JIT optimized by both V8 and JSC. Buffer’s write* functions are not, and therefore are slower. The faster but even more complicated approach would likely be to create a single DataView per ArrayBuffer and then set the byteOffset accordingly. Internally, Bun’s Buffer implementation does something like this (it was faster than a C++ implementation as well as a bit-shifting in JS implementation)
> It's the people who stay indoors and don't dress properly for the cold who have a hard time.

It's also the people who just don't like the cold. I dress properly, I don't stay indoors, and I hate the cold. It makes just about everything worse for me.
Don't they use the api?
I have had reviewers and editors dig throughly into work, including code, and it has never been met with anything other than appreciation. I've sent reviews in detailing what further test or figure might be needed to make a point more persuasive, or noting inconsistencies, and I encourage my students to do the same.
There is admin intervention for sure, but I'm not sure if it's ideological or just advertiser appeasement.

The removal of r/waterniggas (a sub about staying hydrated) seems absurd ideologically, even with that name.
That sounds a bit like how SSN use in the US has broadened from its original scope. Any government power, once granted, seems only to ever increase in scope.
Added to the stable of opened tabs I tell myself I'll get to, eventually. But never do.
My experience has been the opposite: I've much much much preferred it over the tedium and error-prone-ness of manually writing API clients and server routes.
I think a notebook is VERY different than an ephemeral REPL. I think that is worth considering when thinking about generating docs, tests and source code from a single source of truth (as opposed to separate files).
OpenAPI does support "subclassing" via allOf and oneOf.
Good! Learn how to run youtube-dl yourself (or one of its spinoffs).
While you should never treat anything in the literature as having "a guarantee of correct results", it should be a careful first check.
Show HN: Playable Games in ChatGPT
I actually don't. I take this on a case-by-case basis. I presented both the heliocentric and geocentric theories to my kid.

Good news: He figured out which one was right quickly enough...

Bad news: ....because someone spoiled it for him

It's easy enough to show experimentally.

Atoms, we're simply wrong about. Most of the things taught K-12 are based on obsolete models like the Bohr model. That one, I'm struggling with how to teach quite a lot.

Dinosaurs and tectonic plates aren't really all that fundamental, so I'd present them as facts. I might have some fun with young earth creationism, though, if I were feeling particularly inspired.

As for evolution:

1) The theory taught in school is wrong in enough ways which matter that I do single it out. There's also a mixture of facts, hypotheses, and errors.

2) The reasoning models underlie a lot of things, from evolutionary psychology to machine learning.

3) It's politicized, and in my local school district, used to tarnish the other political side in entirely inappropriate ways.

4) My school district spends less time on tectonic plates, dinosaurs, atoms, and planets combined than they do on any of (a) evolution (b) climate change (c) critical race theory (d) virtually anything other polarized.

5) They also do it before kids are ready to engage critically.
Isn't that more a function of the code generator you use, than the specification format itself?
Should "intelligence" have ever costed anything?

It's like saying "air should cost money".
>The fact that scaling continues to work has significant implications for the timelines of AGI development. The scaling hypothesis is the idea that we may have most of the pieces in place needed to build AGI and that most of the remaining work will be taking existing methods and scaling them up to larger models and bigger datasets. If the era of scaling was over then we should probably expect AGI to be much further away. The fact the scaling laws continue to hold is strongly suggestive of shorter timelines.

If you understand the shape of the power law scaling curves, shouldn't this scaling hypothesis tell you that AGI is not close, at least via a path of simply scaling up GPT-4? For example, the GPT-4 paper reports a 67% pass-rate on the HumanEval benchmark. In Figure 2, they show a power-law improvement on a medium-difficulty subset as a function of total compute. How many powers of ten are we going to increase GPT-4 compute by just to be able to solve some relatively simple programming problems?
You're right that it's a minuscule part of Reddit, but I'd disagree that most of those who chose Apollo are deeply stuck to Reddit.

I think most people going out their way to pay for an alternative Reddit client have a beef with Reddit in the first place, and it's the client that keeps them on the platform.

Would they be happy with Reddit alternatives ? who knows. But they'd probably give a fair shake at it to see if it fits their needs, and not just dismiss it at first glance. Also would such a service be profitable ? depends if service such a minuscule group is done efficiently enough to keep the running costs low.

IMO Apollo users probably aren't on Reddit for the mainstream stuff, Mastodon or Bluesky could probably take that role. Niche communities could probably move on to smaller services and their users would follow.

PS: Voat was positively horrible, but I'd argue the circumstances that led to its conception where wildly different. This time we hopefully wouldn't have some "free speach" narrative baked into it, except for the NSFW bits perhaps.
The Many Meanings of $ in Svelte
I had no idea about your gender, nor did I think about what your gender might be while I was replying to your comment. That's why I thought why those comments were just distractions in the conversation. I don't see how gender should have been relevant in this conversation at all, and I still see the comment as a shaggy dog.

But, ya, I also agree that this is conversation is a waste of time.
This just means students better grow bigger brains!
This is basically a long con. The free and open access to an API was a selling point for reddit and they benefited greatly from it -- especially in the early days of the smart phone revolution before they had an official mobile client. The presence of many, high quality third party reddit mobile applications helped them ward off would be mobile first competitors.
This.

"Your data is open and available in perpetuity for whatever use" is in deep conflict with how we think about human subjects data, often for very good reason.
Even if this is true, there are several difficulties with this approach, you'd need to figure out a way to refuse clients from countries where you have exclusivity deals and aren't allowed to distribute, which would quickly be noticed. Besides, if the problem got big enough, tracker staff could require users to seed a few different torrents from different studios before having their accounts fully unlocked, and studios would never seed others' copyrighted content. Sure, you could defeat that with studios having contract between each other and so on, but that's yet another difficult problem for them to solve.

The risk and effort is probably not worth the reward, considering how many public tracker users are there.
