I think it is more akin to someone using a search engine to find something, then suing the search engine for it.

The difference here is if the thing found is "libelous" then the original publisher would be responsible, not the search engine.

But in this case, there is no other "publisher". The publisher here is the person posting the chat transcript, they are the ones with agency and causing those bits to be presented in the public where they become libelous.

I am 100% behind protections for journalists, but in this case it would be the journalist who "uncovered" the statements without corroborating them that is ultimately responsible for putting forth false facts.

Also, not a lawyer, not legal advice.
That clip was what I thought of when reading the comment.
> Crazy. Why do you believe that?

Because no one is dying from some smoke blowing across the region for a day, lol.

Chronic pollution is a problem. Breathing bad air daily is a problem. working around smoky environments day in and day out is a problem Having some smoke in the area for a day is not.

I'm tired of the neurotics and hypochondriacs making big deals out of things that aren't. Like, don't get fat and don't smoke, and use bad things in moderation and get regular checkups and don't stress about everything and you'll live to 80 in most cases. Some people get unlucky.

People dramatizing this recent event like it was HARMFUL to them and "scary" or some type of public health crisis are insane. Posts like yours that for whatever reason want to reference something that isn't really science but is used like it's irrefutable truth to say that the smoke event was somehow dangerous - I mean, just c'mon. It's fine.
They weren't bans originally. They were huge taxes that nobody could afford to pay. The bans came later after the supremes gave carte blanche to the feds.
> But many things were pushed before they were pulled. Buying things on the internet, for instance. This was laughed at for quite a while, while a few people and companies were committed to the idea that it was the future

When, for a couple of months in 1992? There are always a few people who dislike new ideas but that one was popular from the beginning because it was so easy to understand: just like ordering from a catalog but you get your stuff a week earlier and in most cases can see more info about it before buying.

I worked at a web development company in the mid to late 90s and businesses were all over this concept. It saved them money having to pay people to answer the phone or open envelopes, let them do things they couldn’t afford with printed catalogs, and avoided a whole ton of problems around payment.
Ask HN: What’s with all the paid advertising for Apple Vision Pro?
Seeing ads for Apple Vision Pro following me around the interwebs. Leads to a very long and complicated sign up page with tracking.

https://www.apple.com/apple-vision-pro/

Interestingly, can’t seem to find the price anywhere on that page…

Why would Apple need to pay to promote something? Simple as better understanding demand to determine supply? Wouldn’t price be important to include? Why not take pre-orders? So many questions!

The generic Reddit alternatives like Voat, Saidit, Ruqqus, etc. haven't done too well, but there have been some successes when individual subreddits, or groups of subreddits, have migrated to their own sites and taken much of the userbase with them.

Perhaps that is the better way forward than the aggregated approach of Reddit, going back to the old-school approach of separate forums with their own websites.

Sure but they could be playing with semantics a bit as well. When they say "models" they might just mean the LLM that it's all based on. But there's a long more going on in the pipeline to turn that into a consumer facing service like ChatGPT. They might have changed any combination of the following:

1) Fine Tuning

2) Embedding

3) The initializing prompt

4) Filtering a prompt prior to ingestion & tokenization of the prompt

5) Filtering the output from the application after it has generated a response.

The statement "we have no unannounced changes to the models" can be true while still substantially changing functionality & response quality through any of the 5 above areas, and probably some I missed.
Cheers, we have the same idea. Is your project open source now?
Tabletop, or computer? On my computer I had lots of fun with "Dawn of War", many years ago, and with "Chaos Gate - Demonhunters" recently (last year).

Demonhunters features the Grey Knights who are a secret chapter of psychic Space Marines who fight the forces of chaos etc etc. It's a nice game, but with a seriously shitty UI. I still enjoyed it.

I've played a bit a couple of others: "Warhammer Total War" (now in v. III) and "Spacehulk: Deathwing", "Battlefleet Gothic: Armada" etc but those were meh-so-and-so. I think the majority of WH games tend to be.

Unrelated: why so many games have an X:Y name?

I've had similar conversations before this website. I know what I'm talking about here. What you're suggesting is the same story of massive overprovisioning. Just build making times more renewable energy than we need, and a ridiculously large supergrid to use it all.

The problem ultimately is that it is incredibly expensive, and worse you will end up wasting the vast majority of your energy production. The alternative solution, of using hydrogen energy storage, eliminates this problem, and makes any hypothetical solution more efficient.

And in the end, this is also a zero emissions solution. And works entirely with renewable energy. Like seriously, why do you oppose a solution that flat out works? Are you really that prideful that you cannot let go of your ideas?

You are absolutely correct, and the USB-C specification even has an entire appendix dedicated to the problem. The trick is to reduce the voltage difference until the plug is far enough that a spark is no longer an issue, which means placing an appropriately large capacitor at the Sink side.

This is his worst answer, yet. A complete lack of respect for the developers of the affected apps, as well as their users.

I’m genuinely shocked that he’s so willing to admit to the incompetence of Reddit’s decision-makers and their complete disconnect with the situation on the ground.
America didn't learn it forgot. Many people wrote about counter insurgency warfare in the 70s after Vietnam.

>The dispassion within academia is heartbreaking.

It's a reaction to the system within which we live. We must have money to survive and thrive, and thus the vocation to which one devotes oneself is, at the very least partially, driven by the need to feed, clothe, shelter, and entertain oneself. Passion is a luxury for the well provisioned or the uniquely ascetic.

Consider: How many of us would be writing software for a living if it paid like a fry cook?
I have spent far too much time trying and failing to get Linux to sync its clock from the internet, out of a stubborn refusal to accept defeat, for me to entertain the thought that it's usable to the average person.

You act as you would for your children, you feed them, shelter them ... and kill anyone and anything that threatens them.

Yes.

What makes this approach really stand out is that, even if there are 5 different aggregators, it doesn't matter, because they're all aggregating the same data. And even if someone decides to use one of the existing platforms (e.g. discourse), posts/comments from this aggregator to the platform still show up. So this is actually a way to alleviate the "yet another standard" issue (though I acknowledge it won't be as good as a single common instance, due to different formats).

Matrix is a start. But when I go to https://matrix.org/, I see a giant header and "Try Now". When I go to https://matrix.org/docs/projects/try-matrix-now/, I see a bunch of clients. When I go to https://app.element.io/#/welcome and click "Explore Rooms", I see random forums including some russian forums.

I think that you go to the site hub, you should immediately see a feed of curated popular posts and a "Create Account" form, similar to https://reddit.com/r/all, along with a search bar and list of filters. And when you create an account, you choose some suggestions and get presented with various communities, also like Reddit. Most people are barely even going to try your site, if you want them to join and put real effort into contributing you need to present good content as fast as possible.

Another issue with Matrix is that a lot of content just isn't on Matrix. As well as Reddit and other existing communities. For example, Rust has a subreddit, discourse, Matrix forum, and Zulip, and probably a discord somewhere too. There should really be a single platform where I can see posts from all of this, because I'm definitely not going to be checking each one individually.
The new LLMs have been advertised in layman circles often as something like "a chatbot with access to all the information on the web" or something similarly ambiguous. So it is certainly easy to imagine why people think it literally goes out and checks its sources by re-accessing the webpage and summarizing it for the user. The responses you quoted seem to simulate/imply that kind of behavior through its natural language presentation.
AI Ethical Issues Unraveled
Exactly. Dollars are fungible, and spread around the economy pretty quickly. It's just not clear the "right" way to do any clawbbacks after a few years. If not done carefully, someone who inherits $1,000 worth of stock from their rich uncle on just the wrong day could the very next day discover they've inherited a $100,000 debt through the crime of being born in the wrong family. People die, people inherit stock, there are lots of second- and third-order effects to take into account in order to have a proper accounting of everyone who profited from the misbehavior.

In a relatively short period, the answer becomes "pretty much the whole economy benefited financially". On the one hand, that's a good argument in favor of partially funding the healthcare system via a financial transaction tax, but is also less emotionally satisfying than what you're looking for.

If you want to make long-term clawbacks practical, you need to do something like force all dividends to be paid as long-duration low-seniority zero-coupon corporate bonds backed by a special-purpose legal entity that holds cash/treasuries to fully back the bonds and can only be raided via bankruptcy hearings. That way, the value is kept non-fungible and risk explicitly tracked.

Though, in practice, equity holders would probably sell those bonds immediately on the market, offloading the risk to third parties. You could make the bonds non-transferable except in case of inheritance, and ban short-selling/creating derivatives to prevent transferring the risk, but that's a lot of complication and overhead with little chance of improving corporate behavior.

Ultimately, long-term corporate responsibility is much harder to enforce than long-term personal responsibility. You need a licensed Professional Engineer (or something similar) overseeing safety testing of the chemicals putting their personal career on the line with their stamp of approval. "If everyone's responsible, nobody is responsible." You need a mechanism to make individuals both responsible and legally empowered.

Everything You Need to Know About Regulatory Sandboxes (2021)
It's not quite that simple: an unrelated third party asked to write a summary of a court case, and ChatGPT injected some false facts about Mark Walters, in spite of not being mentioned at all in this court case. Who knows how many times it's done something like this? Dozens, hundreds, or thousands of times?

I wouldn't be happy either if someone asked "please tell me about [random topic I'm vaguely related to]" and it started claiming I committed fraud (or worse!)

If I go around falsely telling people "Mark Walters committed fraud!" then I'm probably not going to win the defamation case. I don't think "yeah, but the computer did it" is a very good defence.

> The fact that the US needs to use military force is a failure of policy.

And a million realists(in the technical sense that IR people use the word) cried out in terror at once.
> Certainly we are more capable of destruction than in the past

That is what the article is referring to when it talks about war being a lot more destructive--that if we choose to wage a total war, like we did in WW II, we can potentially destroy a lot more than at any time in human history. But the article is arguing that that very fact has prevented countries from trying to wage total war, because the costs now greatly outweigh the benefits. So the actual destructiveness of actual wars has gone down.

> If anything, it seems like war is much less destructive than it used to be, because weaponry and tactics are much more precise than they used to be.

I think this is true, but it's also true that more precise weaponry and tactics also change the goals of war. You can't conquer a country, or reclaim a country that someone else conquered, with low-level targeted munitions. But you can do things like eliminate terrorist leaders or take out particular dangerous capabilities (like the Israelis bombing Iraq's Osirak nuclear weapons plants) without having a major impact on the rest of the population. This kind of change is exactly what the article is describing when it says that democracies now have an incentive to build a military not for fighting a conventional war but for "the kinds of actions which mitigate the harm caused by failed states" (of which terrorism is one).
I didn't think I'd it necessary to mention that Ukraine was a part of USSR and Poland at the time. It's common knowledge. What isn't common knowledge is that Hitler had plans for Ukraine in particular (inspired by Hlodomor).
