> if a federal judge finds that OpenAI illegally copied The Times' articles to train its AI model, the court could order the company to destroy ChatGPT's dataset, forcing the company to recreate it using only work that it is authorized to use.

I'd like to see it happening but it sounds unrealistic.
Wouldn't the tools which write to (and presumably read from) the Bash files break if the user were to do something like use another shell? While Bash has its niceties, I really can't go back to not being able to autocomplete "~/pr/l/Ka/RE" to "~/projects/lisp/Kandria/README.mess" with a single TAB.
Depends on your wrist, obviously, but on average it's not huge at all. More of the opposite actually.
I completely agree with you. I point you to this interesting article from which I usually get my arguments

> The truth of the matter is that XDG only managed to encourage developers to move their files away from the root of $HOME but they didn't manage to make people respect a proper hierarchy of files.

This is a great point, honestly. XDG actually does specify where things are supposed to go, and distinguishes between config, cache, state, and strictly-user files, but devs don't respect that hierarchy, either.
> Mentioning that somebody is from South Korea does not constitute a refutation of that person being a western journalist

I don't understand other peoples' denial of the intent with GP's comment. GP specifically quoted the sentence that ended with "Western journalist" and followed that with "South Korean journalist", as an implied correction, when that journalist's South Korean birthplace could hardly be any consideration into her journalism, when she's been living quite the western life since she was 3 years old.
What did you find for the money thing? I’ve noticed that money is extremely tight in this game compared to the last
This is more or less a horoscope.

I grew up reading a lot, but sort of ironically, I didn't exercise much discernment. I stayed mostly ignorant of the classics or Great Books. I suppose I've always had a short attention span, being more raised by TV than parents.

I recall in Kindergarten that I was chosen to come up to 1st grade and do an advanced reading project with a partner girl. I always got into the little reading boxes, I believe they were "SRA Reading Labs" and those were a lot of fun.

I had shelves full of books as a child, and I barely read them. I plowed through a lot of Choose Your Own Adventures, and some Encyclopedia Browns. The school library was good for Hardy Boys, which were sort of ridiculous even to 10-year-old me.

I've already detailed here how I used to sneak into a dry bathtub to read after bedtime.

I always read at breakfast. I would read the cereal boxes very carefully. Any nutrition panels on any food set before me was "food for thought". And it was traumatizing and dismaying! I knew we ate horrible food!!! We did every fad diet. My breakfast was cereal in lowfat. You know those commercials that say "part of this balanced breakfast" and they show OJ, fruit, toast, whatever? We got cereal in 2%, and GTFO it's time for school.

By high school, I was practicing some mighty avoidance. I remember never reading "The Red Badge of Courage" or Shakespeare or anything else that was assigned. I had a shelf full of bumblebee-colored Cliff's Notes, and that was that.

Sometimes I feel like I'd be happier if I were more ignorant. If I read less inquisitively and didn't burden myself with such knowledge. I have a lot of useless knowledge. Curiosity killed the cat.

I know some people who are disciplined enough to pick and choose what they read. I offered magazines to a neighbor. "No thanks," she said, "I only read stuff related to my doctorate program." Now that's someone who doesn't mess around.
Intel's software has always been pretty good for me. You're complaining about the need for a driver, right? That seems reasonable, more like a weakness of cloud computing that it takes so long for clouds to expose the real capabilities of the hardware. It's a win for those who can (re)master dedicated machines and attendant Linux sysadmin issues.
>no excuse

Are you sure about that? Yeah if your site has possibly sensitive data or deals with login data, HTTPS matters a lot.

Thing is, there's still a sizable portion of the web that runs without HTTPS because for a static blog/site about boring stuff you really get no advantage on HTTPS besides "Chrome won't yell at you" (which to be clear, Chrome Being Annoying About It has been the larger push to HTTPS for this group of site operators).

> As far as I'm aware Chrome isn't trying to ban HTTP connections.

It's the long-term goal. The link says this specifically. Right now they'll do silent upgrades but the long-term goal is to show the current "insecure connection" interstitial for expired HTTPS certs.

Also, as has been stated in other places - intranet is a thing and deploying self-signed certs, especially on consumer intranets (who do need these things for setting up stuff like printers, home cameras and solar panels) is a complete crapshoot.

Windows has its own cert store, but so do Chrome and Firefox and you need it in the browser to work (plus adding it is really non-intuitive). Linux has no cert store if memory serves me right so you only need the browsers. Android requires digging in the system settings to add a cert and on iOS you need a provisioning profile to add any certs if I'm not mistaken. No clue about OSX.

To be clear there's mitigations - ie. Autotrust the reserved intranet/multicast TLDs (.intranet, .internal, .private, .corp, .home, .lan and .local - this list being taken from RFC6762, which is followed by the IETF even if they've never officially declared it to be in effect) or having a universally signed certificate for those domains that generates no records in the crt.sh log (this is why you can't always issue things for intranets with a public CA - all certificate requests to public SSL hosts like letsencrypt are logged).

Both would probably limit security but they're a big hurdle that needs clearing.
Losing the Signal, the story of how RIM/BlackBerry imploded. Was particularly interesting to me since I was a product manager for BlackBerry products at a major telco and saw it happen from afar.
Thanks! I guess I am okay with antiquated English. I've put it on my list!
That’s fun. A step by step story of implementing the algorithm would be interesting to expand on.
Isn't this just a ploy to get decision makers to think they need to use these services/platforms to achieve MVSP (and to think MVSP is a thing)? Man the internet really gentrified in a gross, banal way.
I hope to write about this in detail sometime. Just giving myself some time for experience to percolate and synthesize into something worth publishing. Meanwhile, I'll give one instance of how it helps practically.

Say, I manage engineers, and I have a new intern, who is supposed to behave in a particular way, with particular standards. Their words strongly suggest sincerity, but again and again their actions go in the opposite direction. Why does this happen, what's the "problem"?

From Bohms framework, this sort of behavior is way too common, and it is due to the paradoxical nature of our psychological machinery. It's not a problem, it's a paradox. In the mind of the intern, there tends to be competing and opposing needs. One hand, they want higher quality output (verbally asserted). On the other hand, the unspoken parts of the mind demand comfort and energy saving. On top of this "incoherent" intentions/results, the intern will seem like they're lying, since words and actions/results don't match. They say they want quality, but behavior goes another way.

So, I see this entire situation clearly, so I become more patient. I understand it's not a simple situation, there's a lot going on underneath the hood. I can help this intern see their inner contradiction, generate higher awareness, make them work with less inner friction (and eventually less external friction). My process for helping someone out becomes accurate, crisp and helpful due to these additional insights from Bohm.

This is just one instance of Bohms framework helping me out in a practical organizational context.
Violating their terms of service doesn't really matter in terms of copyright law though. The statistical properties of that text (which is what the engine snarfs in) aren't protected by copyright.
But why? What is the problem you are trying to solve by placing superconducting links on the outer hull of spacecraft?
Quartzs don't auto-adjust to DST. A minor nit, but annoying.
I think it's the most natural way it would happen. Pit powerful interests (publishers) against powerful interests (Microsoft/ClosedAI). The only surprising thing is it's taking publishers so long to notice this fresh abuse of copyright at grand scale will cost them.
> mega.com isn't an uploads site anymore

Okay, so they apparently moved it to mega.nz.

> those domains were seized in 2012 by the us doj.

The ones where they weren't encrypting the stuff.

> Furthermore, this doesn't protect them from being responsible for the content.

Laws commonly have knowledge requirements. If you go to the UPS store and ask them to deliver a metal cage clearly containing a screaming woman who has been kidnapped, and they do it, they're going to be in trouble. If you go and ask them to deliver a brown cardboard box of contents unspecified, that's a different matter, even if unbeknownst to them it turns out to contain some contraband.
i want to make my own sqlite driver with go, but i do not know where to start. maybe i can get suggestion from here
I disagree. I'd argue that Wikipedia or the Internet Archive are 100% admin, and that's a good thing. I don't want them spending money paying people to write articles or paying people to add stuff to the archive.

There are a lot of charities in between where some more money on admin (e.g. better training, better organisation) can make the front line workers more effective.
I kind of love how the TikTok version would just show the battery dropping and a caption, and then you could move on with your life

funny how this "30 second" 44 second one was supposed to be quick and engaging
I am reading it now too and i enjoy it a lot. Drawing the dots between all of those science discovery, which led to conduct chain reaction, compressing it to almost suspenseful, detective story and decorate it with events in which the whole world and individual people lived was great achievement of the author.
So this isn't a fee on shipping products yourself, it's a 2% fee to get the Prime label and let you just ship it yourself anyway?

I guess it depends on how much the "filter by Prime" is actually used. When I buy a couch from Amazon, do I care about it being delivered next day because of Prime?

Considering that Prime items for me can sometimes be same day, sometimes next day, sometimes a few days, it isn't something that I look for any more.
Tell HN: YouTube requires watch history on for home screen
Until recently, YouTube would present you with a home screen that's compiled mostly from your subscriptions. As of 5 minutes ago, I'm getting a blank screen with the navigation on the left and a message:

Your watch history is off
You can change your setting at any time to get the latest videos tailored to you. Learn more
[Update setting]

For context, I'm paying Premium and I specifically disabled the ad blocker to test. The browser I'm using is Firefox. The subscriptions page still works.
I would bet on the web. Applications like VS Code or MS Teams are built with web technology and just work fine...
I'll divide these into interesting, fun and engaging:

Interesting:

The Ark before Noah, Dr Irvine Finkel: A very engaging and slightly humorous history of arks from before the time of the Bible. Its not a religious book, its a book about myths/history.

A very english Scandal: a long tale about how the establishment closed ranks around a slimy piece of shit.

Fun:

Will save the galaxy for cash, by Yahtzee Croshaw: Actually funny scifi, best listened to when narrated by the author. His other series is also great too.

Death and Croissants, Ian Moore: gentle humorous crime thriller. Follows a divorced slightly unsuccessful middle aged man who has emigrated from britian to france and runs a B&B. he bumps into a glamorous but mysterious woman who he struggles to keep up with. best listened to by the author.

Engaging:

Casino royale: ian flemming. Its not at all like the movies. A page turner, but has 1930s attitudes to things. Its not as obvious as Live and let die, which is full of words you cant say in public.
It's not even a question of "fair use" because OpenAI isn't providing anybody a copy. Probability models really just aren't copyrightable to begin with.
C++11 CPU vector graphics. no STD lib, no FPU and no GPU required
I doubt it. FPGAs are super inefficient in transistor count in exchange for being dynamically programmable. I suspect a better architecture will be taped out like any other chip.
> My reasoning is multi faceted. You’re welcome to read whatever you like, into why I provided the aforementioned context - but it’s probable, you’d be wrong.

Your reasoning is multi faceted, but instead of explaining your reasoning you waste your breath telling me I'm probably wrong? Good explanation.

I don't really care why you did it. Just that you're incorrect in adding "South Korean journalist" as a follow-on to her being labelled a "Western journalist."
Apparently "the rest of us" is people interested in using garbage-collected languages with WASM, because the post is mostly about the new-ish GC support in WASM.
It's a mechanistic, deterministic philosophy that takes the form of a rigid geometrical proof system, starting with the axiom that God is nature. It follows the rationalist scientific tradition of Cartesianism which believes that all knowledge can be derived a priori with deductive reasoning, accumulating an ever-increasing body of knowledge and projecting it on a neat coordinate system.
It's not derivative though. For derivation you have to literally point to sequences of words in the original that are also in the alleged infringer, and those sequences have to be long or unique enough to not be able to come from somewhere else or just common English usage.
More importantly, how easy is this to deploy in a real world production situation?
C++11 OpenGL vector graphics library, that can run on all OpenGL/ES version
No, it's clearly a heads-up for the book 'COBALT RED: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives'.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cobalt-Red-Blood-Congo-Powers/dp/12...

Quote "The harsh realities of cobalt mining in the Congo are an inconvenience to every stakeholder in the chain. No company wants to concede that the rechargeable batteries used to power smartphones, tablets, laptops and electric vehicles contain cobalt mined by peasants and children in hazardous conditions.
In public disclosures and press releases, the corporations perched atop the cobalt chain typically cite their commitments to international human rights norms, zero-tolerance policies on child labor, and adherence to the highest standards of supply chain due diligence"

It's interesting, Stow is great if you're symlinking single locations to many symlinks, or merging directories, but I had a hard time generating stand-alone, relative symlinks in $HOME with stow that didn't also mess with things in other ways.

I use Stow myself to source music files from multiple root directories, it's a great piece of software that I simply could not wrangle to pull off what I was after.

Here's a link to the hacky script: https://git.zlg.space/linkfarm/tree/linkfarm.sh

Thanks for mentioning Stow, though; it doesn't get enough love and if you're smart with it, you can do some crazy things that, manually, would take hours or days.
RE: Diaspora, you'll know pretty quickly if you like it or not. It's very hard sci-fi, the opening is quite rough from a technical standpoint, may make your brain hurt.
Another challenge is also around how we think LLMs should be used vs understanding how LLMs can be used. It will take some time to figure this out.
Whew that recreation is pretty rough, I can barely make out the clip. It’s like listening to the original, fed through a vocoder using the fruity loops beepmap as a carrier.
Damn, I'm most likely late for this.

I've got a project called http://digitapes.app/ - very much not-finished yet, but would be interested in hearing some thoughts.

The basic premise is that it's an easier media archiving / montage tool. Rather than saving everything to google/apple photos, this allows you to "share" to digitapes instead (much like you might "share" to your family members via messenger) - then digitapes puts them all together into a montage reel that you can watch / download / share.

You could also give access to your friends, who they can "share" it to your tape, so the group of you can make a montage of the holiday you all took.

I also wanted to break away from subscription pricing: you buy a tape for X dollars, and it should continue to exist* (maybe it becomes read-only after a little bit, and it has a size / length limit). - this obviously requires more people to buy more tapes, to keep the business going.

I made it with idea of keeping "home movies" for my daughter. My wife and I have video tapes from when we were young, but digital media has a "cheap and plenty" vibe, so I wanted to have a special place that i could easily store and montage photos and videos of my daughter while she grows up.

I've just been too busy with raising her to finish it off, unfortunately. :D

ATMO the XDG standard is broken by design, and has been designed by drunk people who wanted to emulate the bad behaviors of windows users.

Why would we want cache file in our home directory when we have a /var directory for this kind of stuff and especially a /var/tmp directory which has the sticky bit ? Who decided that cramming stuff into ~/.cache was a good idea instead of putting it in /var/tmp/usercache-<username> directory?

Why would we want a .config and .local directories full of binaries, artifacts and config files within our documents when we have /usr/local for that? Put that into /usr/local/<username> instead!

And then comes the terrible folder list:

Desktop : this one is largely unused by me, why putting icons in a screen when they will be mostly obscured by windows while I am using my computer? Do we have to replicate all bad ideas of Windows?

Documents : this one is okayish, but why isn't my whole homedir a documents homedir if we can clean it up from all the config, binaries and cache shit eh? Aren't Pictures, Music, Videos or what I download documents too?

Downloads : that one may be useful, although /tmp would be more interesting to me. For the most part if I don't use the files I download immediately I will never look for them or they will be possibly obsolete by the time I find them. It forces me to do housekeeping while having them in /tmp would clean the shit at next reboot.

Music: ok I suppose but nowadays lots of people are using streaming, I mean I can create it myself if I want to.

Pictures: this one is stupid, why is a picture not a 'document' and why would we need to separate it? What do I do if I want to put pictures asset in my markdown document? Should I point it to some obscure directory here or should I put it in myproject/assets/ ? OK some would argue this is a good place to auto import your photos from your camera but wait. If one day I use digikam but then I later decide it is not so great and want to use something else it is likely to make a mess.

Public: most people never use that. It is for file sharing purpose I reckon but it can be created whenever you need to by the 0.2% of people who will use it.

Templates: same as public, people are never that organized and will rarely put templates there instead of next to their docs. I never saw any app making use of that, most of the builtin templates are provided with the package and are stored in /usr/local

Videos: same stupidity as Pictures. My Videos ARE documents. Besides, what if I want to keep the videos of one event or my vacations next to the Photos? Why would I want videos of my kids playing on the beach be next to regular movies, porn, videos from a sports event I participated at or screen recordings?

All these folders are meant to target a majority of users but in the end create a fake sense of organization that doesn't really work for anyone, everybody end up having files everywhere and/or only partially following those conventions which end up with the same mess as having just the regular mess /home/<username> or /usr/local/home/<username>
probably stupid question - is there a way to use this to search over graph data - like some way to do graph embeddings here to map a graph to the vectors?
But if they develop it and are the only ones developing it (because the rest are freeloaders by definition, since they make no improvement) then they would have the better knowledge of the product and could provide the better support, that should grant the more juicy clients.
Interestingly most (if not all) python examples also work in julia.
Instead of using sum one can also use count, which might be more readable:

julia> count(age > 17 for age in ages)

Or even shorter:

julia> count(ages .> 17)

Under the hood many of the functions are implemented using the reduce function (similar to / in APL):

julia> reduce(+,ages .> 17)

I think many languages in data science have been influenced by APL. But sometimes this influence come from an intermediate language like matlab.
> This could occur if the reduction of an NP-complete problem onto a polynomial problem results in a runtime of such monstrous polynomial degree that the exponential algorithms are just faster for every tractable problem size.

You don't even need to go that far.

n^8 is smaller than 2^n once you get past 44, still well in the tractable range, but encrypting something against n^8 brute force is a pretty reasonable task.
Snowcrash - a really fun high concept sci-fi that’s plays around with some heady concepts.

It breaks down if you think about it too hard, but hey, enjoy it while you can.
Death and Croissants, Ian Moore: gentle humorous crime thriller. Follows a divorced slightly unsuccessful middle aged man who has emigrated from Britain to france and runs a B&B. he bumps into a glamorous but mysterious woman who he struggles to keep up with. best listened to by the author.

gentle, fun and not cynical. Some of the characters are, but the series is not cynical, its slightly naive in it's own way.
That's the narrative, isn't it?

But contraception and abortion really empower men to disrespect women, to treat them as objects, to use them up and toss them out like garbage. A man who doesn't need to worry about raising a child is a man who will easily rape or abuse. A man who isn't obligated by financial support of a wife or children is a man who will cheat and move on when something hotter comes along. A man who will accompany his woman to the abortion mill is now a knight in shining armor for an empowered, liberated woman? Not sure about that.

It would be a joke if it weren't so serious. I mean, men basically convinced women of all this feminist empowerment. Contraception and abortion come from the medical industry, and well, in those heady decades before the Sexual Revolution, guess who ran the medical and pharmaceutical establishments? It was men who designed the condom, men who gave us the Pill, men who've performed all those countless abortions on strong, empowered, liberated women whose contraception failed or just was ignored after awhile. All they needed was a few useful idiots to be their face and voice, like Margaret Sanger, John Money, Kinsey.
