Not seeing ads is always free, just don't use the site, Reddit premium=content-without-ads.

It's easy for them to allow premium users API access, they'll still be developed for third-party apps with an accessibility focus amongst other things.

Reddit doesn't owe us anything. But given how easy this would be, it's unsurprising that taking the current obtuse approach makes some people not want to use the site.
My favorite bit of HN medicine was that inhaling steam from your mist shower will give you a kind of silicosis due to the minerals in the water.
Is there a formal, mathematical way of saying "real-world computers may not have infinite memory, but have more than enough, so they can be treated as Turing-complete for a subset of programs that are well-behaving - i.e. don't end up hitting the memory limit"?

And in general, there surely is a way of formally saying "this is theoretically X, but effectively Y, for the [hand-waves] kind of inputs"?
> whole “banning” narrative is simply describing removal of books from libraries through democratic instead of bureaucratic process

Put another way, through a political versus administrative process. That's rightfully problematic. It's not a ban, but we purposely ring-fence libraries from politics.
Google to pay out $23M settlement over search results; how to apply
None of these laws punishes possession, printing and reading any books, and the only distribution restrictions are about some public libraries (typically school ones), which are directed to not stock these books, but otherwise there are no restrictions on distribution of these books.

Dominion Voting software vulnerabilities will remain unaddressed in Georgia
The issue isn't with it being public, there she was with it being compiled and available to anyone who requests it. It is an access issue and question.

For example, I understand that I can be recorded by people's home cameras everywhere I go. I wouldn't support Amazon and Google being legally obligated to turn over that information to anyone who requests it.

I also don't think that any company that hosts public information should be required to turn over its entire database of public information in the digestible format at no cost to anyone who asks
FWIW my understanding is that the labs were only BSL-2.
I think industry likes it bespoke because the money is practically unlimited.

Selling a basic design or a micro reactor means the industry would have to compete for the first time.
I'm honestly shocked by how naive people are about open data/web.

If a platform owner together with a community of enthusiasts produces a valuable set of content/data and then makes it openly available to the world...what exactly do you expect will happen?

We've seen what happens during the last 15 years, an era of massive centralization. And now it's AI saying "thanks for everything!".

But it doesn't even need to be AI. Allow me to use the free and unlimited Reddit API which apparently allows you to make billions of calls at no charge, and then rehost all that content on an ad farm.

This is the real reason the original web3 (semantic web) was dead before it even started and instead of becoming more open, everyone became less open. Because giving away your main assets is suicidal.
There is now basic autoroute capability that works on a selection of traces. There is still no whole-board autoroute, and although in theory you could just select all items in the board and hit autoroute, it is not functionally designed to work this way.
France has sort of done this - they have 56 reactors in operation all based on the same 3 basic designs[1]. It's pretty incredible how quickly the plants were designed, tested, and built. Over a span of 15 years they brought 56 reactors online[2] - in the US we'd be lucky to build and commission a single reactor in that time span.

That's not the current OpenAI recipe. Their expectation is that your custom data will be retrieved via a function/plugin and then be subsequently processed by a chat model.

Only the older completion models (davinci, curie, babbage, ada) are avaialble for fine-tuning.
Or just falsified certificates and used opaque accounting methods, all while the regulator sat on double chairs.

> In November 2012 it was discovered that over 5,000 small components used in five reactors at Yeonggwang Nuclear Power Plant had not been properly certified; eight suppliers had faked 60 warranties for the parts. Two reactors were shut down for component replacement, which was likely to cause power shortages in South Korea during the winter.[25] Reuters reported this as South Korea's worst nuclear crisis, highlighting a lack of transparency on nuclear safety and the dual roles of South Korea's nuclear regulators on supervision and promotion.[26] This incident followed the prosecution of five senior engineers for the coverup of a serious loss of power and cooling incident at Kori Nuclear Power Plant, which was subsequently graded at INES level 2.[25][27]

> In 2013, there was a scandal involving the use of counterfeit parts in nuclear plants and faked quality assurance certificates. In June 2013 Kori 2 and Shin Wolsong 1 were shut down, and Kori 1 and Shin Wolsong 2 ordered to remain offline, until safety-related control cabling with forged safety certificates is replaced.[28] Control cabling in the first APR-1400s under construction had to be replaced delaying construction by up to a year.[29] In October 2013 about 100 people were indicted for falsifying safety documents, including a former chief executive of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and a vice-president of Korea Electric Power Corporation.[30]

Platforms such as Etsy, Gumroad and ironically Substack are significantly (if not totally) targeted towards the long tail. An argument can be made that these platforms are not successful enough to justify serving the long tail, but the author started the article with concern for counterculture and then ties widespread financial success as a metric for healthy countercultures. A better metric would be the amount of viable lifestyle businesses operating within cultural niches but no data on this is present within the article.

The author makes several references to a consulting project where they also state that serving niches is not viable, this is probably true for whatever client was looking to branch into this. With the provided examples, the article reads as a defense of those previous findings.
Not really relevant here though.
> If I quit the company or if my supervisor wants to see the contents of my machine, I'm fine with that. The machine and everything on it belongs to the company anyway.

I'm fine with that, but I still will not share my passwords. I'd be happy to reset the passwords for them if they can't access the data by other means, but as another commenter pointed out, the fact that anything needs to be recovered from my^H^H not my laptop indicates mistakes were made.

Just in case its helpful to you, I maintain pg_query together with my colleagues at pganalyze, which packages the Postgres parser as a library: https://github.com/pganalyze/libpg_query

Might be useful to include in your product as a way to run a quick syntax check on the query output by the LLM, without actually connecting to the database and causing an error in the logs.

>These are ideological decisions made by partisans with the goal being to shape the corpus of thinking of youth.

You support neo-nazi propaganda not being in school libraries, so certainly you too believe that it is the duty of school libraries to curate the content. It is just incredibly dishonest to pretend that you are upset at this for any reason other than that you want these particular books available to children, which is exactly as partisan as demanding their absence.

its not about perfect movement. Its about keeping your hands on the keyboard, fewer keystrokes (over using arrow keys), and being more precise. The idea also isnt to think super hard about what to press next, the movements become 2nd nature, so you're barely thinking about them. sorta like when you type a sentence you dont think consciously of each character, your brain mostly relies on muscle memory to reach the keys necessary.

edit: before i get flamed, im NOT saying you NEED to use vim to be the most productive. The best devs on my team DO NOT use it. So its not necessary, but it is a lever some can pull and benefit from.

also, your quote/citation doesnt provide any value. Just because there isnt a study on vim doesnt mean it doesnt increase productivity..
It's in the linked dataset: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRKM3peCW-ND...

They're not being literal in that comment, they're alluding to the fact that such broad bans, which even DeSantis has called overreach in some cases, are moreso about aligning to an ideological narrative than actually caring about which books are in school libraries. But the books are also being removed, from school libraries and from classroom libraries.
The Reddit algorithm of upvotes and downvotes means that, if >51% of voters agree with something, it's visible. If <49% do, it's at the bottom of the page or hidden.

This makes basically anything even remotely controversial within the specific demographic of the site invisible to reddit users.
I can't wait to go to the doctor, they ask me my favorite TV show/movie/video game, and then I get my diagnosis explained to me within the context of that show/movie/game. I could ask GPT to "doctor up" the explanation, and ChatGPT gives me a little more technical/medical jargon. Or just straight cascades of analogy.
Calls to remove books from libraries on the basis of ideology driven by a political party are a form of book banning, the distinction between it and a "ban by government" is one without a difference.
"Vim as a Language"[0] is a similar article I benefited greatly from back in the day.

One additional tip once you start using things like d8k: Try "set relativenumber" in your vimrc. It makes all except the current line display offsets rather than absolute line numbers.

Initially, this seems silly, but you quickly realize that if you're at line 1668 and need to delete up to line 1619, it's much more helpful to see line 1619 listed as "line 49" rather than "1619" and having to do the mental math to figure out that the command you're looking for is "d49k".

Yeah, the long tail on Spotify is longer than the music long tail has been EVER. I bounce between literally hundreds of artists in a year, per their stats. I was never doing that twenty years ago with CDs and mainstream radio.

Same with mainstream movies + 4 broadcast networks + a few premium cable channels compared to all that plus all the streaming stuff, all the stuff on Youtube, etc. Hardly anything gets the population share of viewers that something like I Love Lucy or Mash or Friends used to get.

Indie video games, blogs, self-published novels, the list goes on and on and on and on.
Using the mouse only really works in Acme, every other editor makes you switch between mouse and keyboard way too much. The mental and temporal overhead of switching makes it severely unoptimal. Maybe it would work better using (left|right)-handed Dvorak or a Mother-of-all-Demos-style chording keyboard.
The claim that the funding doesn't come from a "billionaire owned outlet" doesn't really track if you look at the investors[0] in Substack. I count at least one billionaire-run fund in that list.

There was also an incident a couple months ago where Elon Musk accused Taibbi of working for Substack, which he denied, but in leaked texts says they "originally hired" him[1], which I find confusing.

I've lived in many US states, including in the south, and I have not met very many of these ignorant, xenophopic, scapegoat-seeking people that everyone claims to be worried about.

> my local libraries wifi is what helped me stay in touch with my parents when my phone data was shut off for nonpayment.

After today seeing 4 (customer-less) kiosks scattered across my medium-sized AZ town attempting to give away free cell phones, free tablets, and free cell service (presumably to those who qualify on the basis of need, presumably funded by the Federal Government), and then returning home and reading this thread in which it is frequently claimed that open WiFi is providing more or less the last comm link between homeless people (who evidently have phones but not cell service?) and the wider world and the possibilities it might offer, I find myself wondering "[why] don't the homeless qualify for these free [cell phones and] cell services?" Is this simply an oversight by Federal legislators (i.e. requiring a recipient to have a fixed mailing address (or: documentable proof of poverty?)) If so, why is nobody mentioning a need to agitate to remove the legal requirements preventing those most needing this help to be eligible to receive it? Simply providing free (voice & data providing) SIMs (which the Federal Govt already seems to be willing to provide) to homeless persons should obviate this entire sub-issue? Or would this (essentially handing out SIM's to anyone who asks for one) risk destabilizing the entire for-pay cell-service industry sector?

Marvin Minsky was so damn far ahead of his time with Society of Mind.

Engineering of cognitively advanced multiagent systems will become the area of research of this century / multiple decades.

GPT-GPT > GPT-API in terms of power.

The space of possible combinations of GPT multiagents goes beyond imagination since even GPT-4 goes so.

Multiagent systems are best modeled with signal theory, graph theory and cognitive science.

Of course "programming" will also play a role, in sense of abstractions and creation of systems of / for thought.

Signal theory will be a significant approach for thinking about embedded agency.

Complex multiagent systems approach us.

"Spammers moved from Usenet to email".

More like spammers were allowed to ruin Usenet so that a few companies like Uunet and EarthLink could make a little more money, then, when Usenet collapsed, spammers were allowed to ruin email so a few companies or people could make a little money before email was rendered useless.

You cannot bring it to a final calculus exam in many public universities, for example.

If you want to complain that this is not what you meant by “banning” books, I fully agree with you, but that’s the whole issue here: activists decided to name some normal stuff like removing some books from some public libraries to be “banning”, despite the fact that this is not anywhere close to what normal people think of when they hear “book banning”.
It's still the case that voting machines are suspect in terms of security and odd that they were being defended, except that Venzuelan boogeymen changing votes was sort of preposterous. It's easy to imagine some mischief with them in the next cycle to add evidence to the idea that they're bad.
Long tail/"short tail" paradigm is about the distribution of purchases/views/streams etc. A statistical property, not about mere quantity.

So not about whether there were 530 TV shows that were increased to 2,108, but whether the distribution of watching is wider or more like a power law.
You're not confused, you're just playing semantic games.
Agreed. S3 is super cheap. Just don't suddenly have your account suspended/cancelled by Amazon.
I hope not. When I was forced to leave my place, I couldn't even manage to pay the electricity bill. It'd simply be impossible for me to afford such a hefty sum + compound interest + late penalty fees, if the Landlord pursued me in a manner that led to my future wages being garnished to cover all that.

I resided there for four years and consistently paid on time, but by the fifth year, I simply couldn't meet all the financial obligations. I sincerely wish the Justice system would show more leniency instead of demanding that I repay the entire lease upon eviction.
Even better: one can now know not to trust mainstream authorities, but ithat does not require one to trust conspiracy theorists.
I am not an expert, but from what I've seen, PyTorch is mostly a thin wrapper over the C++ libtorch. The same is true for DOM as well, but nobody uses DOM directly, whereas everybody uses PyTorch.

The big shift is Jupyter, but that's mainly for exploratory programming. If you already know what you're doing, there's no reason why C++ should be worse than Python for training. It's likely that most ML engineers do not have experience with C++.

I don't have that experience either but from what I've seen, C++ is very powerful, so once you subtract the jupyter, there's not really too much left.

BTW: You cannot use DOM/CSSOM from C++, the only API is JS, so your argument is theoretical.

> The process is simple enough that you can let non-technical people build something like this via a no-code interface. No-code tools can leverage this to let their users define “backend” functionality.

Early prototypes of software can use simple prompts like this one to become interactive. Running an LLM every time someone clicks on a button is expensive and slow in production, but probably still ~10x cheaper to produce than code.

Hah wow... no. Definitely not.

> It's like seeing your your husband exiting a brothel but still need proof he cheated.

But it happened to be a Chinese brothel, so if you accuse him of cheating, you'll be called an ignorant, xenophonic, scapegoat-seeking racist.
Do you have a link showing that China suppressed evidence of the presence of raccoon dogs? I just looked and couldn’t find, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

It’s a fair point that if suppression of evidence is to be considered an indication of guilt, it has to work both ways.

Edit: typo
Um, among the "mistakes" Taibbi recently "owned up to" is falsifying information in his Twtter Files reporting. Among other things, he deliberately misrepresented mentions of the non-profit Center for Internet Security (CIS) as the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). It's clear that was not a mistake, but a choice he made in order to further a specific narrative - one that he only admitted when confronted about it. [1]
