The problem with installing APKs directly is that you probably never update these apps again, as you'd have to manually check if you still have the current version and then download the new APK and install it again. At least that's what happened with the apps I installed that way.
Paypal is destroying themselves. I went to J6 protest. Didn’t go to the hot area, but one block away.

Both personal and business accounts were closed with paypal. Personal venmo was cancelled.

The letter they sent me said that they couldn’t tell me why my accounts were closed, and any further correspondence would be ignored unless I contacted their legal department.

It looks like the wrong people are now running the company.

Funny, the downvotes from people who (like the CEO, apparently) … don’t have a clue.

When you hear a “pop” or a “crunch” from a carbon-fiber wound composite tank: it means some part of the fiber/resin matrix has delaminated, or allowed intrusion of gas/fluid into its matrix.

This means that this layer of the vessel now allows relative motion under torsion or compression.

If the intruding material is higher pressure than the average within the matrix — it will push the matrix apart, causing more delaminating, at ever deeper levels (now exposed to the intrusion).

At the massive pressure differentials in this situation (800 bar), failure of this vessel once compromised would predictably happen in milliseconds. As it turns out…

There was a time people came to HN because of the interesting comments by subject-matter experts.

There are such datasets, and AI companies absolutely pay to have data curated. But I suspect it would be just unimaginably expensive to create a dataset from scratch with enough tokens to feed a model with hundreds of billions of parameters, all the while paying every participant fairly.

Huh?
The way I've seen it work is that the PoC defines the features, then the dev team breaks this down and implements it any way they see fit. It's up to the teams to maintain their best practices and interoperability of the different solutions. Whomever built the PoC doesn't face any of these constraints, their focus is to help finalize the functional spec.

If it genuinely makes them redundant and unemployable, a few million each seems "fair" in certain ways.

But that is a moral point, not a legal one; IANAL and can't say anything valuable about the legal merits.

Ideally AI makes us all redundant and the money stops mattering anything like as much, similar to how owning land stopped mattering anything like as much when the industrial revolution happened.

Regardless, I think this is a policy question rather than a legal question, even if this fight happens to be in a court.

Historically: Colleges were mostly establishment (liberal or otherwise)

1990s and 2000s: Asians do well on exams (and in workplace), take ever greater % of sets from establishment, competitively

2010s: Establishment realize that "BLM" and aim to give Asian seats to PoC, while also conveniently setting proportionately lower quotas for Asians so establishment retains seats they were losing

2020s: New ways found to prevent Asians from competitively winning seats (e.g., roadblocks on registration, etc)

And regardless -- the problem now is that expectations of how content can be consumed are now fundamentally violated by automation of content ingestion. People put stuff up on the Internet with the expectation of its consumption by human minds, which have inherent limitations on the speed and scale on which they can learn from and reproduce things, and those humans are also legally liable, socially/ethically obligated, etc.

Now we have machines which skirt the limits of legality, and are able to do so on massive scale and without responsibility to society as a whole.

Different game now.

No, this always happens with platforms once they feel they have attracted enough users : for instance it happened with Twitter in 2013, or see also what happened to XMPP after Google and Facebook have adopted it, or Reddit going closed source in 2017...
any epidemiological data for the area? seems like a great source of data on health impact.
Using Reddit/Twitter at this point is like staying on Facebook just as early abandoners were realizing it's only for old people, or staying on Craigslist as early abandoners realized it would never solve spam and each of its categories was starting to have better offerings from vertical specific startups.

Facebook and Craigslist are still around, just like Reddit/Twitter will still be in 5 years. But they'll be empty shells.

> I acquired Office 21 LTSC because I really hated the new design so now I'm safe for the next 5 years.

I'm personally using various free alternatives to Microsoft's offerings - Thunderbird for mail, LibreOffice for office work, something like Nextcloud for cloud file storage etc.

While things aren't always great, it's still surprising to me how viable this alternative path is nowadays, especially when it feels like control over the software we use is getting taken away from us (for a variety of reasons).

Either way, software that meets the users and their needs where they are is great! Someone will benefit from cloud based software, someone else with local software that's very popular, whereas others will just be happy to get by for free.

Of course, it's also great that we even have those options and alternatives in the first place!

Fully agree. But instead of having "the government have full control over people's money", I think, setting this up as a federated cheap-to-run payment system would be even better. This would allow multiple existing banks to offer the service to their existing customers. This could reduce the risk of a fully decentralized solution a little bit.
It is, it advances this theory and tech. I only mentioned it because many people will simply not read anything that has blockchain associations.
Given the constraints, the proposed implementation is not efficient at all. Here’s a quick benchmark to compare two implementations: https://gist.github.com/Const-me/265b8a3e89f17f4268d34d64771...

In theory, the hash map is O(n), and std::sort approach is O(n*log(n))

And yet when measured on my computer, std::sort is more than twice as fast. Specifically, for hash map my program prints 3574736 (best of 10 tries), for std::sort only 1695712. My CPU base frequency is 3.8 GHz, so these numbers measured with RDTSC translate to 941 and 446 microseconds, respectively.

I’m using a CPU with AMD Zen 3 cores, and compiled that code for AVX2 ISA, with Visual Studio 2022.

Meritocracy may not be what you think it is, or achieve the results you assume. See recent books by Markovits and Sandel:

Once people 'are in', they get more resources, and that allows for (e.g.) their children to have more opportunities, and so they then in turn win. If you have a person who does not 'get in' and 'win', then they have fewer resources / opportunities to show or develop what skills they may have: a doom-loop can become possible.

As an example of what resources can get you:

>> I hate this supreme court for overruling their own decisions

Which Supreme Court decision did they overrule here? They upheld the Equal Protection Clause. Should they have overruled that?

They upheld that. Should they have overruled it?

They had to overrule something. People are mad because they didn't overrule the Equal Protection Clause.
I’m a white Latino and no, we don’t. Maybe on paper if someone assumes I’m mixed or Afrolatino, but I get all the privilege of being white passing. Not only that, if I’m hanging with brown Latinos they feel safer with me. I’ve often seen my friends stopped by police or given looks when alone but not with me.

The whole Hispanic thing is a mess in the US. Not only due to color of skin but culture and class. I have friends in my home country who are mixed and dark skinned but culturally fit with a suburban white American more.
Well, you could memorize and recite copyrighted works all you want, as long as you're doing it in an empty room without anyone listening.
> I hate this supreme court for overruling their own decisions

Yeah. Based off the various deep dives I heard about a year ago, the court is supposed to strongly favor leaving prior court rulings in place, but the current justices decided that they were fine changing prior rulings since it's a convention, not a rule.

The current SC really dislikes all the prior rulings that were based off the 14th amendment, so I fully expect this same behavior to continue.
Right. The issue is the user space support at the end of the day.
> this is suppose to prevent someone in Ireland from complaining how their personal data is used

This isn't aimed at individuals. Individuals can be ignored and stonewalled without consequences, as most don't have a high-profile media presence nor funds to mount legal challenges. Nothing changes there.

This is aimed at a (few?) non-profit(s?) who have been publicly exposing the incompetence and suspected corruption/favoritism by the DPC and got decent media attention.

Corporations have had certain characteristics of people as long as they've existed. Do you want a corporation to be able to enter a contract that isn't with a specific person within the corporation, for example? Corporations also have freedom of the press/freedom of speech. The question in that decision was whether political spending by corporations was part of the free speech right. There's no question more broadly that corporations can put out a press release saying more or less anything (truthful) that they want.

This is a really lazy trope whatever you think of the specific decision's result (or the reasoning).
Right so that's why I am not sure I understand why there are so many "Open source" efforts that use GPT-4 when 75+% of people interested in open source want to use it in a commercial effort.

Makes me think that quite a lot are just ignoring that part of the service terms. Then it makes more sense to keep using GPT-4 for open source models -- if you just decide you are going to ignore that part.
> I do get to decide what happens with it.

No. Both legally and practically, you absolutely do not.

The only thing copyright law gives you is an exclusive right to sell it for a limited period of time, as a whole in its original form or similar -- and to transfer that right.

Regardless of your desires, anyone can reuse it under the conditions of fair use. They can copy parts of it for parody purposes. If they're not selling anything or taking away from your sales*, they can reproduce it verbatim for private purposes. And even if they are selling something, they can summarize it, quote from it, rephrase it, and so forth.

And you don't actually get to decide any of that.

If you want people to question whether you're even violating copyright, make sure you violate all of them at the same time.

I don't think this is relevant. If OpenAI had trained a model on just one copyrighter holder's content it would likely not be different legally, even if the model would perform much worse.
> People didn't need consent to having their data be used, there was an implicit assumption the moment the data was published to the public, like on reddit or youtube.

The same argument could be used to defend ubiquitous face recognition in the street though (“when going to the street, there's an implicit assumption that your presence in this place was public”) but I'd really like if we could not have that…

There's a case to be made that corporation gathering data and training artificial intelligence don't need to have the same right as people: when I go to the street or publish something on Reddit, I'm implicitly allowing other
people to read my comments, but not corporations to monetize it. (GDPR and the likes already makes this kind of distinctions for personal information by the way, so we can totally extend it to any kind of online activity).

I think that depends on why you built the PoC in the first place. Looking through the comments here I get the impression most people are looking at it as "is this technically feasible", while in my experience a PoC / prototype is usually made for business / usability validation ("is this valuable / will people use it").
Is this satire?

"visionOS pulls users out of immersive VR when they move more than 1.5 meters away from the virtual environment's origin point, saying that Apple has thus 'crippled VR' and made it so the platform is only for 'couch potatoes.'"

"When you start a fully immersive experience, visionOS defines a system boundary that extends 1.5 meters from the initial position of the person’s head. If their head moves outside of that zone, the system automatically stops the immersive experience and turns on the external video again. This feature is an assistant to help prevent someone from colliding with objects."

There are too many videos online of people in VR masks breaking things in their environment, so this feature seems prudent, even if it is limiting to developers.

It would be nice if there were an override setting that users could turn on if they have a safe environment or others nearby watching them for safety ("spotters").

Sometimes Apple's nanny behavior is annoying and intrusive. My old iPhone used to have settings built-in that would only allow large apps to update over WiFi. This was annoying because sometimes I would be traveling through rural areas with little to no WiFi, and could not update those apps despite having an unlimited data plan.
What is the point of ever using CHAR(n) even when it is just a single character? See the example below for how it can be confusing if someone for some reason ever decides to try to put a space into the field. Nah, simply just never use CHAR(n). Instead use varachar/nvarchar/text depending on your database or enum/uuid/... if it should not be a string. The CHAR(n) only exists for standard compliance and should in my opinion really be removed from the SQL standard.
