that's a strange take to me, like why say it? the kid will spend 99% of their formidable time with the parents. sure, baby sitting, grand parents, and over time other external influences creep in, but why turn this into a "yes, but"?

especially when these influences absolutely don't have equal weight.
Unfortunately, Fugu is totally seperate from ChromeOS, since many of Fugus capabilities don't work on the platform. Still, on Windows and Mac, Fugu is definitely more impressive than anything ChromeOS is doing.
This is why there's a "starving kids in Africa" meme. The amount of perfectly good product that goes to waste in "developed" countries is certainly one of the most infuriating things about modern life. Perhaps future historians will also comment on this point as they unearth perfect artifacts from landfills.

The pragmatic approach would be to put a small piece of opaque tape over the offending text and put the product back on the shelves. I've seen that happen with nutritional information on imported products, where the original label printed on the packaging presumably didn't meet the legal requirements and thus a new one was put over it.

This is just one factor in a multitude of reasons why single-use plastics are wasteful

IMHO that's not the real worry here --- that would've ended up in landfill or been incinerated anyway regardless of the recall, and it's a tiny amount of waste relative to the rest of the otherwise usable product.
My kids (11 and 13) both have iPads and laptops but neither has a SIM. My eldest daughter has an Apple Watch SE which had cellular connection and a Nokia 4G phone. She can have a real phone when she is 15. We have apple family set up with screen time password requests for all apps. There are some struggles but by and large they are pretty good.
I moved to Maryland from the UK. I was shocked by the standard of the driving test. Literally just going around the block and doing a reverse bay parking. In fact whilst driving the instructor asked me what the speed limit was on two separate occasions and I answered incorrectly both times! Still passed somehow. This would probably be an immediate fail in the UK.

Also cameras. Not sure about other countries but UK as cameras for EVERYTHING. Speed cameras, average speed cameras, box junction cameras, bus lane cameras, smart motorway cameras, low traffic neighbourhood cameras. When I moved back to the UK from MD I got hit with about 3 tickets in the first few weeks. Definitely changes the way you drive.
Do you seriously think that feeling no gravity would be boring?
In fact, that's exactly what programming is. Learning the syntax of a programming language is easy, telling a computer precisely what needs to be done is hard.

The reason we have programming languages is not because you can't use more intuitive metaphors, "no code" programming is about as old as code itself. There are graphical tools, tools that attempt to replicate natural languages, etc... And yet, most programming tasks use code, because code is the best way we found for expressing ideas in a way that is sufficiently detailed so that computers can execute them without supervision.

So using ChatGPT to write code effectively is also programming, and without the mindset of a programmer, you won't get far. It may act as a force multiplier, making programmers more productive, like compilers and other non-AI tools, but I don't expect proficient programmers to be out a a job.

"Getting from Generative AI to Trustworthy AI: What LLMs might learn from Cyc"

Lenat's last paper (July 31st, with Gary Marcus)

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37354601

This may disabuse you of two ideas:

1. that NN models (LLMs) exhibit common sense reasoning today
2. that the approach to AI represented by Cyc and the one represented by LLMs are mutually exclusive
Funny thing is, this could actually be good for sourcegraph in the medium to long-term - free publicity!
I don't think I agree with you, based on the actual wording. But I do agree in that the specificity of zoning is a problem.

I've done some deep research to confirm my understanding of Japanese zoning rules. (a whole minute! :-) ) So what I see there is:

- levels based on "how much nuisance could this generate to close-by properties" [1]

- at a given level, all 'lesser nuisance' uses are permitted. If you want to build a house beside a tannery, bless you

So, if you have 'level 2: residential (apartment buildings .le. 3storey) plus retail commercial (small shops, small restaurants, etc)' [2], nothing stops a mix of that plus single family and duplex (level 0 / level 1).

Now agreed, there needs to be agreement (ideally consensus) that highschool and college are similar enough 'nuisance' as to be in the same bucket. I reckon that an argument that they are not in the same bucket is going to get a rough ride.

[1] the levels approach is deliberately broadly based, so less susceptible to micro-zoning/backroom deals

[2] my understanding of the actual levels is vague at best, this description is extracted from my left ear.
You think GitHub is just a website at this point?

The cheese stands alone. You're (deliberately?) missing the point. There's nothing inherently wrong with a command line workflow. What's wrong is breaking a workflow (e.g. browser) and then suggesting it's appropriate to simply fall back to the command line for part of that.

As a pointed out below, you're also wrong

Well, no. You're focused on the API (which nobody commenting here cares about one whit) and not the interface. While the comments may be loaded in batches they're not paginated within the browser.

Look, you prefer the command line and that's great for you. That preference doesn't justify gimping the site.

> You’d only violate copyright if you sell the models or the works they produced

That's not how copyright works. Academia would be able to claim fair use in expensive lawsuits. Hackers and tinkerers would be sued into submission exactly because it's a hobby that they won't risk jail for. People would be scared to work on anything related because of lawsuits threatening them with obscene amounts of money, and hence the retardation of science and the useful arts.

Other countries would leapfrog the US, and it would be left behind, all so that a few people can continue extracting rent with their government-granted monopolies.
Also worth pointing out: the very first part of the Sarphatistraat that's skipped is a bike path between a grassy tramline and water, with the zoo on the other side of that water. Can't get much more scenic than that. It's significantly greener than the corresponding bit of Mauritskade.

Well if you're familiar with other D&D movies your expectations would be quite well founded. This was an awesome film that used enough D&D to make things fantastical without being caught up in too many specifics - prior movies have not walked that line very well.

I, too, am hopeful for some continuations along the same vein - but as always a successful thing in media tends to attract the attention of studios and other unhelpful folks that meddle too much in sequels.

Hundreds of millions of panels rolled off the line during my 8 year tenure at a solar panel manufacturer. Those panels were spread across globe. We took blood tests to monitor CdTe levels. So I’m assuming the risk of spreading invisible poison by that approach is not zero.
I think coroutines are one of those abstractions that are easy to fall in love with, but in reality they do more harm than good. There are extremely few circumstances where coroutines are useful, and those are not the ones most people use them for.

Coroutines are not cheap threads, and if they are used as such, your software will end up either leaking resources or contending on resources under any considerable load. A very simple demonstrative is: yes you can have a million coroutines, but you have 10 database connections. No matter how smart you make the scheduler, you will be bound by your IO resources in almost all applications. (This also hints at the few instances where coroutines can be useful: pure compute).

The above problem is exacerbated by coroutines literally undoing one of the most powerful abstractions for resource management: RAII. Your resource allocations stop being tied to lexical scope, and a misplaced yield will leak the resource very easily. And even if you know about this, it is quite difficult to do correct resource management or provide proper backpressure, and the resulting code will be unintuitive and difficult to maintain. You'll need to introduce explicit queues/semaphore-like structures in places where a simple threadpool would have sufficed for all your resource management needs.

So what are the examples where coroutines are useful? Pure compute. This is very very rare, but for example one could use coroutines to fuse stream processors and create bounded-memory compute. There was also one paper that described how software transactional memory was used to essentially race coroutines to find optimal circuitry layouts. This kind of compute is kind of it. And this is most definitely not what people are using coroutines for. Instead, they throw around "threads are expensive" and treat Rust async like Java futures, completely missing the point.

Sidenote: the particular way that Rust async was adopted, and specifically the tokio family of libraries is a whole other hellhole which sidetracked the entire Rust ecosystem, but admittedly this is not the coroutine concept's fault.
> Maybe in the original intentions of the law

Yes, that is exactly what I said. I'm not sure how to read it otherwise. If you're going to assess how it works under communism by looking at why the government allows and and what their goal is, it only makes sense to assess other systems the same way, which is why I said "the reasons the law allows..."
Definitely. I am using DAC cables I got from them for my Mellanox x3 10Gbe cards.

> I don't think that is evidence that what it is doing is "learning".

When I say learning I mean something like "gaining new ability by studying how others did the same task, resulting in being able to produce novel output." I'm not quite sure what you are using the word to mean here, though I might agree that there are differences between what AIs do and what humans do, the question being what they are and whether they're important here.

I don't claim to know anything about the internal experience (if any) of an LLM writing such an essay and I can't really reason about that because I've never been an LLM, whereas I can at least relate to human experience. I think your assertion that it "wouldn't be reflective of what the LLM thinks" is a bit like saying that you don't think submarines are actually "swimming," as the saying goes, though. It may not "think" in human terms as we do, but it's certainly doing some kind of calculation that produces an equivalent output, so I have a lot of questions about whether we can say that on principle. We're well past passing the Turing test for a lot of things, either the original or censored form, these questions are getting less academic by the day.

> You say derivative but without any reference to what it actually means

We're talking about copyright law, so the meaning of derivative was borrowed from that, i.e. that AI model was producing works that could be reasonably thought to have infringed on the copyright of that painting when prompted for "a girl with a pearl earring" and this was held up to mean that AIs are just regurgitating training data and are therefore implicitly missing something essential to being an artist or what have you and all their work should be considered derivative works of the training data as far as copyright law is concerned.

Meanwhile, I'm saying that I think the AI should be judged about like a human artist would be to argue against the people who seem to want to say that the AI can't take input from copyrighted things without all of its output being tainted forever. We have no such requirement for humans and I don't see why it makes sense to add this new restriction on AIs specifically.

> Sorry I don't read every single thread about copyright on HN?

I'm not faulting you for not knowing, I'm faulting myself for assuming too much context and just trying to explain what I had in my head when writing that so you could understand how I came to think that. Hopefully this lets you see where I'm coming from.
Thanks for clarifying.

I chose what seemed the most likely interpretation of an ambiguity.

If it works for you, think of it as a drawing out of the argument, instead of a counterpoint to you. I’m arguing against the others who think there has been some grievous wrong committed by training models on this data.

If your ex-spouse was a contractor for a government agency with access to the mass surveillance machine, would you still feel comfortable "that only a miniscule fraction of the data collected in bulk ever reaches human eyes?"

What if you were a candidate for political office, pushing opinions that angered large swaths of the Intelligence Comminity?

The "minuscule fraction" of content is not surfaced by some random roll of the dice - it's the definitionally most interesting content, in the sense that some human went specifically looking for it in the heap of content caught in the dragnet. And it only needs to be interesting to at least one person with the clearance to search for it.

Maybe that means it's a video of a child being abused, and some morally upstanding federal officer is searching for it because anyone possessing it is ethically and legally culpable for the abuse of that child... Or maybe it's a PDF containing evidence of FBI kidnapping and torturing innocent civilians, and some morally corrupt federal officer is searching for it because anyone possessing it is a liability who needs to be silenced... Or maybe it's a JSON file containing the GPS locations of an individual for the past year, and some emotionally scorned federal contractor is searching for it because that individual is their ex-spouse who's moved onto a new partner.

Are you really prepared to put your faith in the trustworthiness and moral clarity of the population of 100k+ people with federal security clearances?
You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth here. Even the greatest test suite on the planet will miss edge cases in the real world. Self driving cars are already 99.999% successful and effectively perfect in simulation.
This is sweet. Now I feel bad for blocking them.
Well, it asks the question, at least.

Sometimes I wonder how much the average human is prepared to answer questions about the culture of their birth region, though.

The USA is huge and comprises at least 11 drastically different cultures. I know other countries also have similar "yeah, same country, different culture" circumstances. I'm not sure how many people realize this.
Given the thread context, I can't tell if you're serious, but I'm totally stealing this as a training strategy. They'll never be in trouble for circumventing my restrictions. I'll just have to up my game!

I've gotten in big arguments about a similar idea with my brother. I've told him I intend to monitor all internet traffic and phone activity in my house because I want my kids to grow up understanding that anything they aren't extremely careful to encrypt and protect can and will be read by the people they least want to see it.

He thinks I'm evil and children deserve privacy. I think he's neglecting a duty to teach his the hard truth that you are responsible for your own privacy.
> I don't think the standards have to be low

Based on what you've described, I disagree. Most colleges have already winnowed things down to teaching in only one or two languages. Usually java and python. And from what I've observed, most students still don't learn much.

We, as a field, don't know how to teach people to code. The closest we've gotten is showing people what an if statement and a loop are, show them a couple examples, and then tell them to screw around for a while until it clicks. And for some of them it does.

If you want standards to be higher than a random teenager who screws around for a summer, this has to change. Or you have to accept that ~75% of college graduates are not going to be able to go into their profession.
So these people who are coordinating and transferring CSAM are presumably bringing others into the fold to more effectively distribute things. Otherwise digital technology would not make distribution and coordination easier. So law enforcement just needs to infiltrate these groups exactly the same way that they did in the past. The only difference is they don't even need to meet these creeps face to face until they arrest them.
