The research on this topic that I'm aware of fails to account for the fact that the top 40/100 lists are less representative of what people are actually listening to than they used to be. If Drake can drop an album and have every song on it chart on the Hot 100 for a week or two, that's going to influence the analysis. That simply wasn't possible before music downloads/streaming. You can see the impact on the chart records -- artists from the past decade dominate.

ETA: And "worse" in these studies tends to be defined in terms of measurable qualities where contemporary pop music most differs from "classical" music.
Just like the climate crisis is a distraction from the "no 2nd season of Firefly" crisis, sure.
Another bridge wouldn’t do much to fix supply since you’re still dumping cars into one of the most dense urban environments in the world.

The only sustainable way to increase the supply of trips into lower manhattan is increased public transit.

Not in my experience. GPT4 works a lot better than previous LLMs. Have you used GPT4 yet? Typically in my experience people who talk about LLMs not being that useful (or "pathological liars") have not used them recently, or at all. So, I mean, not a useful opinion worth considering then.
The FBI of course giving the credit to their "linguistic analysis team" and "fearless investigators" when Ted's brother literally turned him, told them where he lived, and that he had talked about bombing the targets in question.

Many, if not most, murder investigations are resolved by confessions, or someone turning the culprit in. Absent that, after...I want to say 48 hours, the police know that they should essentially write off the case. There are obvious exceptions, especially if there's public notoriety (crudely, young white coeds or "sexy shit"), but most murders are poor drug addicts murdering other poor drug addicts.

It’s not true in a trivial sense it’s true in a deep and legally relevant sense. The company is a major accomplice in the blatantly illegal mass surveillance of Americans.

This isn’t like a big conspiracy theory people have won Pulitzer Prizes over it and all that.

It’s a completely reasonably inference that this person advocating for fewer restrictions on a powerful new technology is hoping to use it to conduct more sophisticated mass surveillance on Americans.

As I said, nothing could be more substantive to this thread.
I'm not sure exactly your point. The Tesla does sometimes require intervention, that's why it's Level 2. But it's still attempting to drive in significantly more complicated situations than this Drive Pilot thing. Does Drive Pilot stop at stoplights or make turns? I don't think so.

Regarding deceptive editing, plenty of people post their Teslas doing squirrely things and them intervening. So it's not like a secret that sometimes you have to intervene.

He stopped because he was arrested. At that time they found two completed bombs in his cabin, so he was planning to renege on his deal not to plant any more bombs.

There's a key difference between the current - mostly chemicals (coal, oil, uranium) based - system of providing people/machines/devices all over the world with energy and some proposed system where most energy is delivered in the form of electricity, generated from renewable sources.

Using chemicals to transport energy immediately leads to greater resilience because these chemicals always have a buffering effect, so they can buffer shorter and longer disruptions.

Many people appear to not have this in mind, when they propose a global electrical grid to power almost everything. An electrical grid is much more fragile than a chemicals based transportation system.

As soon as we see the first big tankers transporting green ammonia all over the world, say from Namibia or Australia or wherever, each one of these will contain weeks worth of ammonia (for some industrial site or whatever), which will mean added resilience since there's no one pipeline that can be damaged. Ships can flexibly go from any one to any other port.

But not only that. Due to the high energy density of chemicals, the chemical transportation system also has a much higher capacity than HVDC. Several ships can go from one place to another at the same time, and queue up at the point of arrival, while electricity from two sources to one destination would add up at some point in the grid.

Example:

> .. the vessels could carry about 58,000 tonnes of ammonia .. [1]

58,000 tonnes x 22.5 MJ/kg = 362.500.000 kWh = 362.5 GWh

Assuming a power generation efficiency of 0.4 (-> 145 GWh electricity), this is roughly equivalent to a 1 GW powerplant delivering power for 6 days.

Imagine trying to transport 145 GWh from Australia to Europe, or even just from windy Greece to Germany with HVDC. You'd need the 100 % capacity of a 2 GW HVDC line (1500 km long) over 3 days to transmit it all, during which this line could not be used for any other transmission purpose.

Out of curiosity, have you ever heard of operation condor? project mkultra?

As far as I know from studying history, it's impossible to win (= survive as a culture against encroachment from different cultures) without violence.

Today's mantra of pacifism and non-violence is just propaganda from current governments (all of which were originally installed through bloodshed, and kept in power through never-ending bloodshed) to keep the masses impotent and avoid being toppled like their predecessors
WebRTC support has been merged into OBS. This is going to bring some really exciting new things to the space!

* Serverless Streaming - WebRTC is P2P so you can video right into your browser. You don’t have to stand up a server anymore to stream for a small audience.

* Sub-Second Latency - Create content and interact with viewers instantly. There is something magical about having a real conversation with your viewers.

* Multitrack Input - Upload your transcodes instead of generating then server side. Give viewers multiple video tracks to see action from all sides.

* Mobility - WebRTC lets you switch networks at any time. Go from WiFi -> Mobile with zero interruptions.

Try it out today with Broadcast Box. A reference server implementation. https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box. The PR to add WebRTC to OBS https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/7926

-----

So many people went into making this happen. This was a colossal undertaking that different people have working on for over 6 months.

Sergio Murillo - Created WHIP. The only reason this could be added to OBS.

Luke Strickland - Created Broadcast Box. The reference server we developed against

Paul-Louis Ageneau - Creator of libdatachannel. The library used to add WebRTC support to OBS.

Colin Edwards - Started the project to add WebRTC into OBS

John Bradley, tt2468, pkv - Developers who worked on the code itself

RytoEx, tytan652 - Lots of feedback and reviews

-----

Have fun using it! If you have any questions/feedback/improvement ideas I would love to hear.

Andreas Breivik copied large part of it in his manifesto, but then again he is murderer too.
Capitalism happens every time someone sits on their ass and collects dividends while other people work. Don't kid yourself.
No they broke him mentally with MKULtra
His "criticisms" of the left read like something a denizen of /pol/ or Reddit would come up with. It's entirely possible to see the merits of his arguments against technology while dismissing his deranged hatred of leftists, feminists, etc.
Reading Kaczynski is a little bit like reading the Bible: you shouldn't take everything literally but instead think about what's trying to be said, and you should ignore some bits.

e.g. paragraph "15" is excessive and inflammatory, but he wasn't wrong that some people will try to find fault for anything that happens in the West while ignoring much greater crimes in other countries. See e.g. all the HN posters who trivialize China's problems while attacking the US (I'm sure this thread will have some of those types of comments, too). This point also wasn't original to Kaczynski, e.g. George Orwell also wrote about it, as did many others.

Also remember much of this was written an era when people were literally collaborating with the USSR and East-Germany out of "socialist ideals" and (rightful) anger over the shady activities of the CIA or FBI, while also ignoring that those countries were significantly worse in almost every way.

"once a driver turns on Drive Pilot, they are "no longer legally liable for the car's operation until it disengages." The publication goes so far as to say that a driver could actually pay zero attention to the road ahead, play on their mobile phones, and even watch a movie. If the car were to crash, Mercedes would be 100 percent responsible."
> 1. the S&P 500 has never gone completely to zero.

The S&P 500 specifically, no. But markets have gone to zero when (e.g.) there were Communist revolutions and private property went away.

If you were invested in those then you'd lose the money (and if it was as a domestic investor you'd have other (political) problems as well).

It shouldn't. The article picks up from a C++-centric discussion and looks at it from the perspective of C.

>He falls for the same trap many modern critics of progress do: the nostalgia for a world that never existed

There's the opposite problem most have: the inability to understand that there are people who have actually experienced the past (within their lives) and might prefer it for reasons other than the cliche "they were young then, that's why they like it" compared to the present.

And that, depending on your inclinations and ideas about how to live, it's not true that nothing better "ever existed".

>is that the prescription for returning to that utopian bygone era inevitably involves force: the premise is that our minds are too corrupted to understand what's right

Well, the future comes at people with force too. People thrown out of employment into poverty because of technology and being told "just learn to code" for example.

Or things getting integrated with the state and business world, and becoming increasingly necessary to have, even if you don't want them.

How do you even get to “cross it out”?
> Cultures that don’t practice infanticide are the exception in the historical and anthropological record

That's a non-argument. People did all kinds of horrible things in the past (human sacrifice, cruel corporal punishment, slavery) and yet it is now obvious to us that these things are bad. I think it is safe to say that infanticide is one of the things that we don't need to debate in modern times.
Thank you. It’s depressing to find so many people on HN expressing sympathy for the nonsense written in the manifesto.

People should read “Beginning of Infinity” for a strong counter argument.
I presume they were referring to gameservers run by communities and not by game studios?

What does it mean for a language "not to use an LSP"? The most straightforward way I can think to interpret that statement is that it's saying that a TypeScript language server doesn't exist at all, which certainly doesn't seem to be the case based on finding https://github.com/typescript-language-server as the top result when googling "typescript language server". I guess you might be saying that it's not a first-party language server, but I'm not really sure why that would be relevant when discussing properties of language server implementations; the implementation clearly exists, and even if very few people are using it, that doesn't mean GP's point about a flaw in its design wouldn't still apply.
Err, yeah maybe a little bit out there.

Yes of course they are the starting point, a good musician may take some samples and transform a music generation to a better song for sure. Some artists state that a painting is never complete, or a song is never complete. There is always room for innovation.

The prompts i used, referenced real songwriters, and the model seems to know their songs. The article does not prompt it that way. So i guess there may be a little bit of IP infringement, but we need that, only for the first bunch. Next models will be trained on the best generations of previous models.
Can you provide some sources? Last time I looked into statistics on these topics I found the opposite to be true.

Yes so a Corolla is a lower quality car with comparable or slightly higher reliability stats.

Unless you think the word quality is just fully synonymous with reliability (in which case a paper airplane beats an F-18) then my point stands.
Terrorism isn't marketing? Marketing is all about advertising your ideas and changing people's ideas. 9/11 wasn't marketing for Al-Quaeda?

But FSD isn't even necessary to help, an autonomous acceleration and follow mode for all cars on traffic lights and in traffic jams would already have huge benefits.

A lot of times you can fix boot issues like this by adding "nomodeset" to the boot command line

I always had trouble booting proxmox the first time, because even though it is a server os with no graphics, the installer is graphical. I would get black screen at boot.

I would just interrupt hte boot use 'e' to edit the command line, add 'nomodeset' and it would boot.
I wrote my (prototype) LSP in a completely different way from the article and I got very good results (autocomplete took less than 10ms, IIRC was <5). I didn't intentionally design my language for it but I did have to write my compiler in a way that would keep the data around so I can support it
Here's a thought: what if it's less that the rate of change is increasing and more that our mental models of the world tend to solidify as we age such that the perceived rate of change of the world increases. This is more an observation of the "the world was a lot simpler when I was young" mentality rather than a comment on the long range compounding effects of technology though they might be related.
that's cool but also sounds nothing like aphex twin. sort of four tet-ish maybe
Yeah if you want to shut down a conversation in Taipei, or suddenly run into "oh no I don't understand your English," bring up the treatment of the native Taiwanese.

Three sentence summaries probably wouldn’t qualify for copyright protection. The same should be true of code - if we think the standard for copyright protection is too low, we should raise the bar on complexity requirements, not throw out copyright.

Even if a programming grammar is more restrictive, there’s some length where things become almost certainly unique.

As a music writer, I welcome ai. It gives me more ideas to steal.
Here's an influential article on the subject: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/uMQ3cqWDPHhjtiesc/agi-ruin-a...

The basic idea is that once AGI hits an unknown capability threshold it will likely recursively self-improve into something very dangerous and difficult to control, and will likely be able to come up with an effective plan to remove any obstacles to its intended desires, ie. humans.

People have varying degrees of confidence in this scenario, but even if you peg it at like a 10% likelihood you're basically conceding that it's the single most important policy issue in the current political climate.

The notion that industrialization and modernity in general bring about feelings of profound alienation has a rich lineage of philosophy and storytelling going back to the dawn of the modern era.

That's implementation details. It could be the case that no art produced in the EU can be used as training data (or similar), not necessarily that EU AI models are forbidden from being trained on art. I find the former case the most probable.
People are human and not logical, purely rational (whatever that would mean), data machines. We're emotional. I can certainly understand the perspective when the above commenter has seen the pain and suffering that those ideas, threaded amplified through either mental illness and/or pathological personality, led to. Okay, maybe Kaczynski had some points that resonate and concur with other more respected scholars and critics, but it is quite difficult to dissociate his ideas from his actions, especially when one can easily find others who did not violently kill and maim others with the same ideas.

The substantive research is all of human psychology, biology, and sociology.
That's interesting.

I'm skeptical enough though (having read books about the Zodiac Killer, for example) that I see it just as likely to have been an unexpected opportunity that Kaczynski exploited.

I guess I'm not surprised that a murderer, enjoying their new-found public lectern, might engage in rationalization of their murders.

Legally, it can be different. For example, a typeface is a sequence of coordinates for the vertices of the shape, but (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_protecti...):

“Typefaces cannot be protected by copyright in the United States (Code of Federal Regulations, Ch 37, Sec. 202.1(e); Eltra Corp. v. Ringer), but fonts can be protected by design patent and may be protected by copyright.”

As I understand things, if the USA legal system were to choose to apply the same rules to these tiles, their exact shape would be copyrightable, but variations on it wouldn’t, even if the variations, for all intents and purposes, are identical to the original.
Even if Ted Kaczynski is in the top .1% of people worth listening to, which I don't think he is, that means that there are millions of people with equally profound ideas. You should prioritze learning from those people first rather than one who resorted to violence as a means to spread his message.
Deal?
