> Putting the company out of business strongly disincentivizes other companies from engaging in fraud.

It'll also disincentivize other companies from working in these areas at all.

That's often easy to justify in isolation from an abundance of caution, but in the aggregate it's the cause of things like the Cessna 172 (a design from the 50s!) still being manufactured today.
It's hard to tell if these studies show that people want fewer children, or if people want fewer children as they age (ie their ideal number declines). It would be also really interesting to see if this is a form of goal post shifting where people who do not have children (for example procrastinate) move the goal post to tell themselves they succeeded at what they _actually_ wanted.

That would take longitudinal studies and to break people into cohorts of how many they wanted at various ages, and how many they infact had. Then see if those who had N children wanted more or less (and was it more or less than their initial predictions, and are they happy with their choices)...

The little bit of googling I've found suggests mostly want as many or more children than they have, meaning having 0 children is a dominated strategy compared to at least having some, if not more than you currently already do -- up to a point.

You're referring to a Copyright Office administrative ruling.

It's a pretty strange ruling at odds with precedent, and it has not been tested in court.

Traditionally all that's required for copyrightability is a "minimal creative spark", i.e. the barest evidence that some human creativity was involved in creating the work. There really hasn't traditionally been any lower bound on how "minimal" the "spark" need be -- flick a dot of paint at a canvas, snap a photo without looking at what you're photographing, it doesn't matter as long as a human initiated the work somehow.

However, the Copyright Office contends that AI-generated text and images do not contain a minimal creative spark:

https://www.copyright.gov/ai/ai_policy_guidance.pdf

This is obviously asinine. Typing in "a smiling dolphin" on Midjourney and getting an image of a smiling dolphin is clearly not a program "operat[ing] randomly or automatically without any creative input or intervention from a human author".

If our laws have meaning, it will be overruled in court.

Of course, judges are also susceptible to the marketing-driven idea that Artificial Intelligence is a separate being, a translucent stock photo robot with glowing blue wiring that thinks up ideas independently instead of software you must run with a creative input. So there's no guarantee sanity will prevail.
If something is in the public domain, and you create something new with it, you have the rights to the new work, there isn’t any sort of alike-licensing on public domain works in most-if-not-all jurisdictions.

This is why music engravers can sell entire books of classical sheet music from *public domain* works. They become the owners of that specific expression. (Their arrangement, font choice, page layout, etc)

If the AI content is public domain, and the work it generates is incorporated into some other work, the entity doing the incorporation owns the work. It’s not permanently tainted or something as far as I know.
The jump to enterprise pricing suggests that they have enormous enterprise demand and don’t need to bother with SMB “teams” pricing. I suspect OpenAI is leaving the SMB part up to Microsoft to figure out, since that’s Microsoft’s forte through their enormous partner program.

> An ideal scenario was to use some kind of waste stream as substrate to grow mushrooms, thereby sending less trash to landfills.

Well, that's how we got cultivated oyster mushrooms in the first place, isn't it? With some Germans in WW1 wanting a quick way to turn sawdust into food. You can use mushrooms to turn waste streams into useful stuff already. It's just that it tends to be waste streams that are already pretty useful, and what you get out of it isn't all that profitable (tasty, though!)

After a bath or shower, your ears are open to the air, and the water can evaporate.

The earplugs keep the water sealed in your inner ear for a long time where it can't dry, increasing the chance of infection.

Some people do just get more frequent ear infections than others, though, from swimming or even just daily showers/baths. That gets back to the luck/genetics thing.
I'm a complete beginner regarding this stuff, so if I may ask, how would I go about downloading the relevant model (e.g. wizardcoder-python-34b-v1.0.Q4_K_S.gguf) I checked on Hugging face but all I got was a bunch of .bin files...

Wow, never thought about it that way. English is not our native language but, for our defense, it's the first time that somebody made that remark.
Grandma had a terrible time using the microwave. I eventually found out that there are microwaves that have only two dials, one for power on top, which we left alone, then the bottom one was time. Knowing how far a quarter turn of the dial was in minutes allowed her to still cook things when she wanted to.

If you think that's a strictly historical phenomena you're underestimating how humanity operates. I done research cruises in the Arctic and there was multiple instances of the ships crew not realizing, understanding, or caring about the scientific mission. Instances like samples being naively destroyed because why would someone put tubes of ice in the overflow freezer, etc etc.

Funny enough, I'm not too critical of it. I can't drive or operate a ship. Humanity is a bunch of disparate people trying to accomplish things together and sometimes it leads to very funny scenarios.

I would also add one thing, to this part specifically:

> I've been training on the job every workday, so this is a bit depressing.

I understand the sentiment all too well, but you should resist it. What you're talking about is HN stories making you notice where you're ignorant.

"Ignorant" is often used as a disparaging term, but it shouldn't be at all. Being ignorant of something just means that you don't know about that thing. We are all, every single one of us, ignorant of far more things than not. And even the most skilled expert in anything started off as ignorant of that thing as a newborn babe.

There is no shame in ignorance. When you notice it in yourself, and it's ignorance of a thing you wish you weren't, that's a happy moment. You know what you should learn more about.

Also, don't forget Kettering's Principle of Intelligent Ignorance. It's not important (or possible) to know everything. What's important is to know what things you are ignorant of.

Speaking of Kettering, another great quote from him on this topic:

"We find that in research a certain amount of intelligent ignorance is essential to progress; for, if you know too much, you won't try the thing."

Diving has total saturation and additional pressure driving the water deeper than water splashed at 1 atmosphere of absolute pressure.

It has made people overly cautious, but in many ways the caution is well advised. Look at the rise in deaths from vehicles, driving under the influence, driving while distracted, the size of cars and how large/tall they are now. Even as an adult, you're likely to be met with animosity while riding your bike around, never mind a child. Increase of bicycle thefts, another reason. You can sort of see how a lot of these factors fuel each other, and put parents in a terrible position so that even if they weren't scared of the news cycle it doesn't logically make sense to willingly have their kids deal with such avoidable issues.

The weakening of communities has also made this much worse. Used to be you could play with the neighborhood just fine, if something happened one parent would tell the others or talk about it during a BBQ. Now, very little of that exists. There's so much animosity in communities. Leads to what this article is talking about, but things like NextDoor have made community building a sin. Everyone wants to be the snitch, the "community pillar" by becoming the epitome of a stereotypical no-fun-allowed police.

We've been living in apartments for ages now, yet we still struggle to make our neighbours that live 3 steps away, reliable friends. Everyone is just too busy, too distracted, too this or that. So I can't blame parents entirely for this dilemma we've created, we're all at fault at every level.
The current consensus amongst medical professionals is that gender dysphoria is not requisite for being trans. This was not the case in the fairly recent past.

There is also "gender euphoria" which may be experienced by people who do not/did not experience dysphoria.

I'm not sure whether from a clinical standpoint distress about incongruance is the same as dysphoria.

There are a lot of people who would have failed to meet previous diagnostic criteria but nonetheless are happy to have received gender affirming medical care. I think the best we can do is provide people with bodily autonomy on an informed consent basis.
A broken light bulb or a spark on the ceiling are enough to ignite Hydrogen; and that is why facilities that process it must have ventilation.

"A covered Hydrogen filling station must have electricity for ventilation." Agree or disagree?

And what about microwave energy beaming? Can microwave wireless energy transfer cause a hole in an airship? What about freak lightning storms while inspecting high energy power lines in a balloon filled with flammable and explosive gas?

It looks like it may be possible to store Hydrogen in Sodium Bicarbonate.

There are aerospace-grade hydrogen tanks that aren't supposed to explode in a crash landing, but what about midair collision and war?

There are people working on drones that hover in midair (that do not add flight and ground risk) that efficiently use the air currents too.

I'm afraid [this airship firm] hasn't done a sufficient level of testing to determine how easily the product can become a war liability, and I don't think FAA should clear Hydrogen airships for energy infrastructure inspection.
University of Michigan did a recent study that shows intentional childfree cohort at at least around 20% in Michigan [1]. Would be super interesting to expand these studies out across wider populations.

Somewhat related, about 40-50% annually of both US [2] and global [3] pregnancies are unintended. How many are unintended and unwanted would also be an interesting datapoint. This would provide signal as to folks who perhaps wanted to remain childfree but didn't because of circumstances.

I think you're missing the point of the comment you're replying to, and of the story as a whole.

Yes, human beings have agency and are ultimately responsible and accountable for their decisions.

Human beings, like all living organisms, are complex systems. Social media, marketers and advertisers, among others, regularly manipulate and abuse such systems.

So, yes, while it is true that addiction is a spectrum, that spectrum applies to social media as much as it does with other addictions like sugar or amphetamines.

What your argument does is absolve those attempting to abuse such organic, complex systems for their own gain, regardless of the harm it promotes or directly causes.

Maybe they bookmarked to see if there'll appear fun stuff later, it's still pretty much in the gruntwork phase of adding definitions/loading/basic interpretation to Rust. (Not working on any official projects myself but the experiments I did was in C or Java itself and with the latter you get tools like ASM doing gruntwork quickly)

One funny/annoying part of implementing a Java runtime is that you want mostly coherent handling of basic classes like Object, Class, String,etc.. (don't want tons of special cases in a JIT,etc) but the reflection data that defines Object and Class contains String's (That inherits from Object for a fun circular dependency).

For the most complete runtime I did (supported basic reflection,etc) I went with faux-object's,strings,etc when starting up created from C definitions that mirrored the real object shapes and then once far into loading walked the heap to modify the faux-objects to point the vtables to the actually loaded types for those classes.

Coca Cola doesn’t want to train a model that can be bought by Pepsi.
Microsoft is primarily a mid-market company. They definitely sell to enterprise as well, but what makes Microsoft truly great is their ability to sell at enormous scale through a vast network of partners to every SMB in the world.

OpenAI is a tiny company, relative to Microsoft. They can’t afford to build a giant partner network. At best, they can offer a forum-supported set of products for the little guys and a richly supported enterprise suite. But the middle market will be Microsoft’s to own, as they always do.
I don't know how big the market is, but there are definitely musicians out there who would love to be able to buy clones of a wide variety of out-of-production analogue ICs to restore vintage equipment, build kits that depend on those parts, and so on. VCFs, VCOs, etc.
In the automotive world it is not that simple. Ford has been building increasingly complex engines to reach design goals related to power output, mpg, and weight. Those have nothing to do with serviceability which has suffered tremendously. The cost to service has gone through the roof. On top of that they require more frequent general servicing or they literally blow up. The net yield is going to be engines failing or vehicles discarded earlier.

The reason they are doing this extreme engineering is to prepare for the hybrid fleet. I don't think it's going to move needle at all for climate change (a lot of the development is gov funded). They are engineering extremely complex gas engines and aluminum bodies to save weight for the batteries. Lots of throw-away stuff is showing up to the party.

No one is going to be hanging out with friends and drinking beers when they try to replace the timing chain on these trucks/cars. The job is ridiculously complex and fraught with pitfalls and gotchas. Dealers and independents are getting software dev hourly rates now.

Complexity is a barrier.

Jules Verne is fun to read in this regard because the people who organized to go to the moon in "From Earth To The Moon" were simply part of a gun club that chose to fund the effort privately, not the government. It reflects how people had a different relationship with the government in the 19th century.

Before the income tax, people like Rockefeller would just bail companies out during panics from their personal bank accounts, much to the consternation of bankers like J.P Morgan. Private individuals were massively more economically powerful and that's were people looked for progress. Only Elon Musk comes close to this level of economic power in the modern era, especially because he is a hands on industrialist and not a financier, but there were probably a few hundred who had that level of influence back then and they were mostly industrialists.
And you read about False Dilemma - a common fallacy among people.
Given our industry's long history of lying about data retention and usage and openai's opaqueness and Sam Altman's specific sleaziness I wouldn't trust this privacy statement one bit. But I know the statement will be enough for corporate "due diligence".

Which is a shame because an actual audit of the live training data of these systems could be possible, albeit imperfect. Setup an independent third party audit firm that gets daily access to a randomly chosen slice of the training data and check its source. Something along those lines would give some actual teeth to these statements about data privacy or data segmentation.

The real problem is introduced when your own opinion is optimized out.

Because of this behavior, one person's opinion can become self-replicating, because there is no distinction between consensus and copy.

This social pattern leaves us with a tiny number of narratives being blindly repeated instead of being thoughtfully confronted. The only one who benefits is the narrative itself.

> Not sure where the golden age of neobanks and fintech comes into the story

Well, it doesn't seem that sure a thing, but the argument was that as the megabanks get bigger, they'd care less and less about small clients, so there's an opportunity for a neobank to support these small clients, if they can find a product offering good enough to convince people to pay for it.
AMD's equivalent is HIP [1], for sufficiently flexible definitions of "equivalent". I can't speak to how complete/correct/performant it is (I'm just a guy running tutorial/toy-level ML stuff on an RDNA1 card), but part of AMD's problem is that it might not practically matter how well they do this because the broader ecosystem support specifically for the CUDA stack is so entrenched.

Insertion should still be extremely fast for such a small index, right?

Doing binary search over a b-tree page is <100 cycles. b-tree traversal over 100M records should still be measured in microseconds and binary search over that should be in microseconds too if not in 100s of nanoseconds.

> Dropping down to SQL to write a really complex query is, in my professional experience, always a poor use of time.

We’re not talking about Assembly here, “dropping down” to SQL is something that anyone should be expected to do as soon as you’re grabbing or modifying any data from a database in any scenario where performance or integrity matters. The errors you can see in situations like this are extremely complex and databases literally exist to solve them for us.

Also, if we just completely disregard the performance for a second and focus on data security instead, how do you ensure sensitive data isn’t passed to the wrong party if you don’t care about what queries are being sent?

I mean, it doesn’t matter if it’s not “in the end” displayed to an end user in the application you’re writing, or if its not stored in the intermediary node where your code is running, that data is now unnecessarily on the wire in a situation where it never should have been in the first place. If you end up mixing one customers data with another’s and sending all of it in such a way that it could even theoretically be accessed by a third party, that’s a lawsuit waiting to happen regardless of whether it was “displayed” or “forwarded” or not.

Imagine if you sniffed the packets going to some logistics app you use on your phone and you saw meta-data for all packages in your zip code in the response, or if some widget showing you your carbon footprint actually was based on a response containing the carbon footprint of every customer in the database. Even if it’s just [user_id,co2] it’s still completely unacceptable.

Never mind scenarios where you’re modifying, adding or deleting data, those are even worse and no explanation should be necessary for why.

I went to a university that oddly enough banned smoking specifically. Not tobacco or tobacco use, but smoking. You could do it at some distance from a building, but that was it.

In some classrooms greater than 50% of the male students would have "dip" or other oral tobacco products on their desk during lecture.
