Yeah, that part made little sense to me.

Clojure is one of the weakest lisps when it comes to macros, but you can still define and use them at run-time, and it has no image-based development.

If you are in the game, you have to play it.

You don't have to advocate for it, and you can advocate against it. But you may not have much a choice on playing.

Anyway, defending a patent requires some deep pockets, and if you don't defend them, they are just cost with no benefit.

Besides, the IBM legal team will come knocking, won't tell you anything that can let you understand why, and you will have no other option but to comply. How many patents you have, or if they actually have one that you are infringing isn't really relevant.
I think you might be missing some people in your reasoning, there. (But I agree that your two types of people both exist and are the loudest in the room!)

(Some) crypto is a deflationary store. There are not many deflationary stores, and the ones that exist (like precious metals) either require a lot of effort to store and secure, or you hold a claim on some precious metal somewhere and not the thing itself. Lots of people want a deflationary store, especially in a time when inflation looks like a fact of life!

Crypto has no inherent value, unlike precious metals. It can (and depending on the crypto, often does) go to zero. That is a risk of the currency. However, if I were to buy a claim on precious metals, I would still have the risk of going to zero (maybe if things really go sideways, no one wants to honor my claim to the metals?)

Crypto will not be useful as a currency for everyday transactions, it is useful only as a thing to hold and store, or useful as a part of black-market transactions. I don't want to make any black-market transactions, but I do want something deflationary to hold and store.

So the target market for crypto you're missing are people:

* Who want a deflationary asset

* Who are comfortable with the idea that the actual trading activity attracts a lot of criminals, but don't intend to do anything criminal themselves

* Who view the risk of a Bitcoin or Ethereum going to zero about the same as their contacts for gold going to zero in a true financial crisis

My theory is that Binance execs were having these chats in an encrypted medium (e.g. WA or Signal) but didn't secure themselves against a defector.

I think someone on the inside took screenshots and went to the feds (or started cooperating under legal pressure). There's even a leading candidate [0].

What's funny about this is it's a fine metaphor for what ails crypto as a whole. The technology is cryptographically secure, but not at all robust to much simpler betrayals, hacks, etc. If you trust overmuch in the tech and don't focus on less technically interesting but more fundamental threats, you're apt to get rekt.

Incredible story.
Several programs are available to do it: https://www.big-8.org/wiki/Moderated_Newsgroups#Moderation_S...

The type and quality of moderation is up to the moderation team. Might be automatic, might involve a review by a human for each post.

As someone else already mentioned, there are groups which were configured to be moderated but have no moderators at all to approve posts. Either they disappeared or there never were any. To participate in these groups you have to set the "Approved:" header in your post yourself. Obviously that would also be the way to circumvent the moderation process for any other moderated group. The countermeasure is that the moderators send out a cancel control message which instructs all the newsservers receiving it or at least those who honor cancel messages, to delete this specific message.

Ask HN: Spent months developing AI Journal and Apple launches one. Pivot?
I launched uLog.ai, the AI Journal that asks questions last week, only to see Apple launch one at WWDC today. Part of me thinks this can be good hype, but I am a solo founder against the teams of a giant. I think I have a few key differentiators in my product. Any thoughts or things I should consider going up against a giant in this capacity?
That's pretty typical of how they do WWDC though... big consumer feature announcements, then share new developer features throughout the rest of the week.
They made more than $1B and caused more than $1B in damages. This is a slap on the wrist.
Then why do “we” celebrate every little thing happening on Mastodon? Ridiculous right?
I wouldn't be surprised if it takes 5 years (or more) to both get a patent and litigate it though any appeal. FWIW, in the current U.S. system, my understanding is the time it takes to get the patent comes out of the 20 years, though I think you can get some time back if it takes a very long time.

ChatGPT is a text generator. It is “useful” for writing sentences in a context where correctness and understanding are less important than syntactical uniformity and word count.

Edit: Ok, I guess people want ChatGPT responses.

Risks when using ChatGPT instead of research while discussing financial securities:

Accuracy: While AI models strive for accuracy, there can still be errors or misunderstandings. They might oversimplify complex concepts, miss nuances, or even provide incorrect information. It's always a good idea to verify information from multiple reliable sources.

Bias: AI models are trained on existing data, which might contain inherent biases. Thus, the output of AI might also reflect these biases, although it is unintentional.
Lack of deep understanding: While AI models like ChatGPT can process and generate language based on patterns they learned during training, they do not possess actual understanding or intuition. They are unable to think critically or provide expert judgment.

Outdated Information: As of its last training cut-off (September 2021 for ChatGPT), the model might not have the most current information or developments in the field of financial securities.
Regulation and legality: There are regulatory considerations in financial markets, and AI models may not be fully updated or able to provide guidance in line with current laws and regulations.

Crypto maxis always like to argue that crypto theft isn't possible, but the reality is it happens a lot and there's no recourse when it does (which is what makes it an attractive target).

Where is that wonderland you live in? Around here there is only regulation that dogs cannot go unleashed on specially labelled public parks, such that they do not leave the paths. Many of those parks have playgrounds, public orchards and so on. But, as nobody enforces that, basically each time I take a walk there is at least one dog owner literally shitting (or, having their dog do so...) on that regulation. Same at supposedly dog-free lakes meant for human swimming.

Hmmm... theoretically maybe? You can't argue with 192GB hooked up to a single GPU, even if the die is split. I'm not sure if it behaves more like a single GPU or 2 NVLink GPUs when running or training llms.

Except the task in the search result was different in the specifics (different colors) so it gave the wrong answer. Also insisted that its solution was right. Though maybe that's an issue with Microsoft's fine-tuning rather than with the base model itself.

These are minor improvements over the M1 series in line with the other released M2 chips. For a 1 year delay to the original transition timeline and skipping the first generation it's reasonable to expect something more than the high end Ultra chip in a new form factor.

How about a 4x, 8x and 16x M2 Max chiplet design which would have truly been next level...
As long as it is isn't a sign of the 13" being phased out. I was already annoyed that the MBA line came with a larger form factor than the old retina MacBooks.

Getting to a point where I'd like to upgrade my original M1 Air, but figure I might as well wait for whatever is after the current M2 generation. However if that means a 15" form factor, no thanks.

I'm so used to ChatGPT now that for any non-trivial programming task that I'm not 100% confident with, I check how ChatGPT approaches it first. Not just one or two sentence, but a detailed summary with code example. Usually a single prompt of mine costs >300 tokens. Sometimes >1000 tokens.

I honestly don't know whether ChatGPT made me dumber or smarter. On one hand I'm relying on it a lot. On the other hand, I'm forced to actually think over my task in hand, not just telling myself that I've thought it through.

Hiring a hitman should be illegal.

Bribing the court system should be illegal.

This seems to be precisely what I wanted, although a bit more features than I needed. Thanks!
Yeah they can try, but that's the point though.

The reviews are required to be detailed instead of just stars and requires real orders from real users so it increases the signal to noise ratio.

Also, legitimate businesses would be far more interested in the sales leads from these 6-star reviewers than impressing the average consumer with spam. There's aligned incentive for everyone to really care about that 6th star and put it under the microscope when they see one.

The delivery apps have the "top rated in your neighborhood" and "most beloved" tags that already more or less work like this. I'm just saying to generalize it across the web. Maybe there's just something about food that makes people more likely to review it carefully, but I've always found them to be more reliable than the junk on amazon.

> Decentralization is a business problem, not a technical problem. Engineers tend not to see this because we're engineers and so we see technical problems first.

> Usenet had no economic model. All the problems you list are solvable if there were funding available to solve them.

You hit the nail on the head. Usenet was very much a "back channel" in its early history, with school and corporate IT people setting up feeds on the quiet. Indeed, it began outside the Internet, using dialup UUCP links to exchange news and mail.

Email addresses were "bang paths" where you had to route your mail to its destination. If your outside mail gateway was foovax, an outgoing address might be like "foovax!decwrl!ihnp4!uiucuxa!example" instead of "example@uiucuxa.uiuc.edu". In posts, it was a convention to specify your email address path from one of the famous well-connected sites.

One of the biggest early players was (surprise) Bell Labs. If the name "ihnp4" rings a bell to you, you might be as old or older than me. :) That was a central hub for the UUCP network, both news and mail. I wonder if any AT&T bean counters knew about it back in the day, or, getting back to the original point, how many bean counters found out about Usenet in their respective companies and forced it out?

There's no reason a private/paid service addon to a client can't work for filtering. Been thinking similarly for Mastadon, in that you can pretty easily have a gated experience, and get top ranking for Android/iOS client use with a monthly service that includes filtering with relatively sane defaults, but toggle-able filtering/reporting.

You can use fdroid, webapps or side-load the "full" unfiltered client but the experience for the normies would be that paid app experience. And I say paid app to avoid the pitfall that is advertising fed results.

IPRs are pretty useful for challenging bad patents and should be very broad. However, I found myself in favor of this change, and honestly questioning the EFF's motives given how strong and personal (speaking specifically to the EFF's ability to challenge patents, not a generic third party) your expressed opinions were in this piece.

I am very sympathetic to the argument that Unified Patents and other folks who offer "IPR insurance" now can't fight bad patents, but hopefully if the rules pass they will be able to convert to either a non-profit or a financing model that allows them to sidestep this rule.

Also, are you aware of the argument in favor of this change? In a recent case, a patent troll used an IPR claim to attempt to extort a patent owner when that patent was going through active litigation. Limiting IPRs from for-profit entities not practicing in the field (also a requirement in the rule change) when small companies are actively suing someone else honestly sounds reasonable in light of this.
