The effortless composition of complex commands out of simple standalone programs is one of the best features of Unix. And yes, I admire and love it as well.

That said, imagine a metrics system for a huge networking company that used these methods to cover all automated testing or defect analysis. Those inner loops were made of greps and seds and so forth, and each one is the invocation of a new program. It wasn't uncommon for these runs to take almost a day.

Besides performance, the other nightmare was was someone described below: each script was a one-off that didn't leverage the work from others. If the author only new C shell, then you know you're going to be doing gymnastics to catch the stderr of some of those programs (you can't capture it in the same manner that Bourne variants do).

Anyway, yes, we all adore the Unix philosophy, but there are limits.
Nice linux in there, I run vim and edited a file there. Cool.
Why is Windows so slow? (2011)
First comment on the article answers this question:

“I think one reason is that for normal people, they make you go to the counter so that they can upsell you to a larger car with lots of extra insurance etc.

Frequent customers know what they want and are unlikely to be upsold, so they can sign up to Gold Club to avoid the upselling.

Repeat business customers are also more valuable than the occasional tourist, so the Gold Club members probably have real reservations for their car, while people who aren't in the Gold Club don't have real reservations, so the counter person does actually have to search and see if they have a car available to rent to you.”

CVE-2023-35829-poc: If it looks too good to be true
> Xorg and Wayland compositors use the same underlying APIs

Not really. KWin has Wayland specific paths that simply don't work on X and developers are increasingly simply not bothering to go out of their way with X if something isn't possible to implement over it. So X use case is going to further deteriorate, that's inevitable.
There has always been more than a passing resemblance to TOPS-20 and Cisco iOS CLI - while they might run a BSD variant, the feel is the same (so are some of the commands, like systat).
Rust – 350MB-long type name regression in 1.46
Simply because I didn't state "for all and every" doesn't invalidate my point, nor does it support yours as true - further, "heavily favored" suffers from the same problem. The point is, there's a system which takes as input formatted in a specification (a program) and some transformed output (a set of actions to be taken or another program input for another compiler). So, there you go. If a hot dog on a bun could be considered a sandwich, then a CPU could be considered to be a compiler. shrug disagree all you like.

> You can't find a copy of any specific work anywhere in the weights.

You won't find a copy of any specific work anywhere in the compressed form of a file, either, but when you decompress it you find the complete work. And many large AIs can recite, verbatim or near-verbatim, many complete works. Yes, they might get a word wrong, but that doesn't nullify the point that they're trained on the entire work and to a first approximation they can emit the whole work.

> Typically the consumers of the weights are software developers or content creators, whereas the consumers of the original text or image are fans.

Many of the consumers of image models are in fact generating art that they previously would have commissioned from an artist. (Some of them are also generating art they never would have commissioned from an artist, so I'm not implying that this is a one-for-one revenue loss.) Consumers of code models are, in fact, potentially reducing the total demand for novice programmers.

The model derived from a pile of artistic works is, in fact, directly competing with those artistic works.

You hit the nail on its head. This is HN where mostly everybody knows tech, geek out about specs and learn about devices ahead of time. But Apple sells to a general population that is far less knowledgeable and mostly lives by "new phone good". Either guidance or upsell Apple knows what they're doing. We are not the usual demographic in an apple store.

What is uplifting is that law is on the side of the people who want privacy as its in the constitution.
Things have improved a whole lot since then. Used to be that as soon as you opened any app, it just requested full admin access to everything. Now its that you try to share the screen and you get a popup asking if you want to allow sharing the screen.

It's actionable now. You can use an app without allowing the permission request, and the permission request is tied to when you try to use the function rather than at install time or app boot.

Have they really been phased out in food packaging (say, in Europe)?

I thought PFAS is what is used to give grease and water resistance to food packaging (boxes, wrappers, bags, cups, etc).

Only at a relatively small number of dealerships/brands and you're getting a base model car from the service loaner fleet. It is really more intended for people who have been in accidents and their insurance is paying for the rental. The getting to pick the vehicle you want is meant to give you a like model car while yours is being glued back together.

It is becoming much more common for larger dealerships to just house an Enterprise or Budget rental desk inside the dealership which manages loaning out the fleet.

But this is only relevant to copyright - and more over, when it comes to derivative works, only relevant to commercial impact.

An LLM outputting a summary of someone's work (1) doesn't create a new copyright work (so no profit can be derived from it's sale) but (2) would fail the test of whether it was competing with the original copyright work.

i.e. no one looking for a summary of a comedy skit is then going to consume that in preference to consuming the original skit. If you tried to argue that was the case, you'd then have to answer why a human review or wikipedia summary does not consitute an infringement.

This is because “hallucinate” means very different things in the human and LLM context. Humans have false/inaccurate memories all the time, and those are closer to what LLM “hallucination” represents than humam hallucinations are.

Yes. You create the derivative work, which automatically means you are legally in possession of it--even if it breaks the law in other respects.

> Wikipedia uses non-free content all the time

How are they obtaining it? From websites where albums are advertised? The images on those websites are available to the public for free, even if the albums or the album covers are only available for sale.

Also, Wikipedia articles are contributed to by individual people, who might well own copies of books that they quote from in the articles, for example, even if the corporation that owns Wikipedia does not. AFAIK, by Wikipedia's terms of use, if you post content you are implicitly asserting that you have a legal right to post it, so if there were a lawsuit they would probably punt to whoever posted the content.
Why not? I learned programming with QBasic, which included its own little IDE and docs in the form of a help menu system. Years and years later, for the nostalgia of it all I stood up a DOS emulator with QBasic on modern hardware and it was a good time.

Can you cite any authoritative source on this, or are you able to only claim that it is correct (and perhaps, expect me to disprove)?

> In the former case, we have only appeal to authority (some book says)

You are incorrect - we also have epistemology, logic, ontology, neuroscience/psychology/anthropology and various other fields which contain discoveries that are relevant to the psychological phenomenon (~"reality") you are currently experiencing.

> and to personal belief, neither of which are facts.

If you and your epistemology-ignorant and denying crew can treat your beliefs as facts (as is regularly done in these conversations), why can religious people not do the same? I mean come on man, double standards are bad, no?

Hello? Sagan called and wants to know which specific literature has convinced you to hold these beliefs.
Agree 100% with all of this. LLMs have a huge reputation problem; you simply cannot trust what they say because they've been proven time and time again to hallucinate fictional answers. Until that problem is solved I'm struggling to see how they're as useful as people are claiming they are.

You know what would be a fun test of integrity -- look up an obscure novel (potentially even the aforementioned one) that you know LLMs consistently hallucinate about because the details aren't in its training set, and then assign an essay about it as an academic assignment. It'll be pretty obvious who's read the book and who merely consulted an LLM because the latter will just be complete gibberish to anyone who actually knows what happens in that novel.
Am I an idiot? I genuinely don't understand the chain of logic in this article, and I'm not being deliberately obtuse here. You shouldn't have the ability to proactively provide data to law enforcement to report possible crime, and the seemingly unconnected reasoning is racism. I'm honestly puzzled by this article, it feels incomplete.
These plastic components are made from relatively stable polymers which don’t contain PFAS.
Horror is apt.

You hit it on the head with the slowness of loops when the body comprises a series of program invocations. The horror really seeps in when you realize the original author wasn't stopped by the lack of data structures: they could get around that with some creative variable names.
Can't speak for them, but I'm 25 and have a massive amount of nostalgia for windows 2000, for the weird reason that the first computer I ever got free-reign over was a give-away machine from the IT department from my mother's job at the time. Maybe around 2007-8? I'd have to bet it's something like that for GP too!
IMHO we'd have seen the health effects more clearly if it really was. Currently, the research seems to only indicate some correlations.

Strangely enough, the more you regulate the internet, the more you empower the advertisers and the more users become just the product.

If you are a parent weary of an internet riddled with porn, traffickers, drugs, or other dangerous things. I believe it is on the parent to filter whats acceptable content for their kid to watch and not the website administrators to moderate whats acceptable. Its baffling to me that people see it the other way around. The latter is certainly easier and the parent can come up with all sorts of excuse why they cant find the time to do that given how hard life is and how it gets in the way, but at the end of the day. Who knows what's best for you or your family than yourself?

> Machines and algorithms are not legally recognized as being able to author original non-derivative works.

“original non-derivative” is noise: only humans can author works. This is especially equally true of derivative works, which must themselves being distinct works of authorship (a mechanical copy is not a derivative work, its a copy.)
> It was included for debug builds.

I've worked with .NET since the pre-1.0 betas back in ~2001 (I know...appeal to authority). The source code was never included in .NET debug or production builds. You could however use tools such as .NET Reflector (now owned by RedGate) to decompile the IL and reconstruct code as C#, VB etc. If you had the PDB files then you also had the symbols and could decompile to a close representation (variable names) to the original source.

This was a very useful feature because the .NET Framework managed code DLL's were and still are shipped obfuscated. This meant you could in the early days use ILDASM, and then .NET Reflector to find out what was going on inside the .NET Framework code.

Of course this created a market for obfuscators so that commercial and paid for shipping code was more difficult to reconstruct (especially since you wouldn't have the PDB files available).

You could do pretty much the same thing with Java.

Now if your binaries were NGEN'd [0], your chances of reverse engineering were reduced considerably because the IL is now gone and you're working with pre-compiled machine code rather than pre-JIT'd IL.

Surely, lot of words about how these chemicals don't degrade naturally, but none about the actual impact. Same like microplastics. Not denying that PFAS can't be harmful, but how can we prosecute just on the basis of the fact that these chemicals exist, when the evidence of harm is inconclusive? Stuart Ritchie is my favorite health journalist to refer to whenever it comes to things like these [1]:

> Some of the evidence comes from animal studies: studies have claimed that exposing rats and mice to the chemicals has negative effects on their ability to reproduce. The problem—aside from the inherent problem with comparing non-human animals to human ones—is that the concentrations of the chemicals are normally far, far higher in the animal studies than they are for humans in everyday life. As with all “toxins”, the dose makes the poison: something that is harmful to health at high levels could be entirely safe if the average person never has very much of it in their system.

> The Guardian – which has published dozens of articles about these “dangerous”, “potentially toxic” chemicals in the last few years – called the new research “the first known study on the effects of PFAS on female fertility”. That’s a little odd, since earlier this year a review study put together 13 previous such studies, drawing the conclusion that “increased levels of PFAS exposure are associated with reduced fertility in women”.

> As with all such reviews, that conclusion is dependent on the quality and consistency of the underlying 13 studies. Unfortunately, the studies we have are all over the place: even though on average they point to an association of PFAS with lower fertility, the estimate of the size of the association varies a great deal from study to study.

> I agree that parent seems to be trolling

You seem like an actually reasonable person (and thanks for the support)....do you think it's possible that there might be more to what it is I'm doing than "trolling"?

A way to think about it: do you think it's possible that framing/perceiving those who are interested in accuracy as being "trolls" (as opposed to realizing that they are correct, and may actually have an important point) might cause long term harm to a culture?

Another way to think about it: mocking Trump supporters and religious fundamentalists is both easy and fun, and therefore popular - but how much value is there in it? Now, contrast this to finding questions that ~everyone will fail on, including highly educated and genuinely smart people. How much value might there be in this (keeping in mind the numerous seemingly intractable problems we have going on on this shitshow of a planet)?

I'm asking you rather than the other guy because I think you can likely actually consider the question.

An interesting followup question maybe: what do you think about people (particularly smart people) who are not able to consider certain things, but seem to be trapped in a cycle of only being able heuristically process certain ideas. I am very suspicious that this is not a 100% naturally emergent aspect of our culture - I speculate that people have been made this way. And if they've been made this way (or even if not), perhaps they can be improved.
