Everyone will remember this name for years to come. Good luck. I tried MTG only a couple of times and never got into it, but I can see the appeal.

What I don't like too much is that the minter is a private company that profits from this artificial scarcity.
People get way too hung up on what current copyright law is and whether it supports or condemns LLMs trained on copyrighted material. IMO, who cares what the current law is? Existing laws were made for past technologies and for the current limitations of humans. It's nonsense to apply the same rules to new devices that don't have the same limitations.

I can pay to read all of the GoT books and then tell anyone who asks who kills Dumbledore or whatever. That's information you would have to pay the author for, but anyone can get it for free from me because I already read the book. This is acceptable because we assume that #1 I paid to read the books (or my library paid to acquire a copy) and #2 I won't be able to literally regurgitate the entirety of the books to every person in the world simultaneously. For everyone in the world to get that 2nd-hand enjoyment, enough people would have to pay to read the books that the author would make enough money to be happy.

The situation with LLMs is clearly different. The ratio between the amount an LLM compensates an author vs. how much many people it can share derived content with is off the charts compared to the same for a person.

IMO, there's no need to argue whether LLMs are being treated differently from humans w.r.t. copyright. LLMs have different capabilities than humans. Copyright at present is optimized for humans, and should be updated to address the implications of LLMs' capabilities.
Calculated risk is plenty of risk.

Starting a startup is like a hand of poker. That is, there is some chance that you might work on it for six months and decide it is not worth it, some possibility you will drop out at some other point, some possibility that you get acqui-hired, and a very small chance you hit it big.

You shouldn't do it if one of the outcomes is you wind up on the street, but you might very well have it fail, reel a bit, and then get a job for somebody else.
Sorry but nobody in these comments understands the food value chain. Most foods require very specific temperatures and handling. Even if you transport them right, the actual storage and routing of food varies widely. There is often no location to store food properly intermediately, so diesel trucks are kept idling to keep the food in a place with the right environment. But it varies greatly depending on where it's being sold and what their logistics chain is, in addition to what market they're serving and thus where they're sourcing their food and how they're picking it.

HN sure does love to oversimplify...

subtitle: "‘It enables us to go beyond what nature has provided us. It has a tremendous impact,’ said Alexandre Zanghellini, co-founder of synthetic biology startup Arzeda"

'Artificial intelligence is turbocharging the frontiers of biological research, helping scientists program living organisms much as a software engineer might write code. Some scientists are even creating new proteins not found in nature.

The field, known as synthetic biology, is breaking down barriers in medical science and pharmaceuticals as well as food science and agriculture, energy and climate change research.

Synthetic biology, a broad term, is often used to describe the practice of taking existing proteins or biological material and reprogramming or repurposing them to achieve a new function or goal. “You are coding and programming a cell to spit something out,” said Jennifer Lum, co-founder of Biospring Partners, a growth-equity firm that invests in life-sciences technology.

The rise of the cloud and distributed computing have boosted that effort, allowing for the processing of larger data sets. Scientists can perform genetic and DNA sequencing at a more rapid pace and scale, according to Lum. With a better understanding of the DNA composition and functions of cells of specific types, scientists can manipulate and redesign those cells to drive a particular outcome, from biofuels to disease-resistant plants.'

No, as it stands it is irrelevant. Only the presidency changed but there is no civil war. Let's not start spreading unrelated excuses to justify a military intervention that would do more harm than good.

As it stands, the Nigerien military has also explained that there had been roadblocks in the fight against jihadism because they were not allowed to coordinate with the new governements of Mali and Burkina which have veered against French interests. That was one of the main reasons given for the coup.

It has nothing to do with too many people being born.

Which countries with such policies are you speaking of by the way? (I'm curious, I honestly don't know)

Besides, Nigeriens are currently 25 million which is less than half of the French population in a country that is twice the size.

Poverty didn't start yesterday, nor did the exploitation of natural resources. How is that country so poor and others such as Qatar aren't?

It's impossible not to notice that former French colonies are often poorer than their British, Italian (Libya before the French, once again, pushed for a military intervention and embarked the US in that campaign) or Portuguese counterparts.

The only way fertility is problematic is that the population is young and the infrastructures that should have been built AND maintained... haven't. Along with education and the health sector.

All the more reasons to understand why they can seem to resent the French government (and not France in general as is depicted in some media).

Frankly, if solutions haven't been found after all these years, they simply haven't been sought. Going from first principles, if one wants to solve migrations and whatnot, just let them develop themselves properly.

Automotive gross margins don't seem to reflect those numbers. Tesla's are around 25%.
The problem is, there's not just one "CAN/LIN bus." There are probably a dozen different segments. One device attached to one segment can only talk to the upstream gateway and whatever peripherals are on that bus segment.

Of course this isn't a problem per se, it's good design -- but it has the side effect of making it harder to hack your own car through a single point of entry other than the main OBD2 port, which is connected to the top-level gateway.
Holy cow, I knew that MNIST was simple, but not that simple.

Could you post a snippet of the code that you used to achieve this? It would be really, really nice to have a baseline to work from I'm sure, and I feel like this could be really useful to a few other areas (my personal obsession is speed-training on CIFAR10 :')))) )

Holy cow, that's insane. :O
> The value of the FIL token isn't so much derived from an equilibrium in the supply and demand for storage, it's driven by the supply and demands of the coin on the crypto market, and if nodes start to give up in any meaningful fashion over the course of a few days or weeks, the crypto market will likely negatively react, driving the price of the token even lower.

The reason for this is that the price of FIL was initially too high for the amount of customer demand for storage it currently has, resulting in oversupply. But you only lose data as a result of sudden undersupply. If the network could lose 90% of its capacity over a month and still store all of the data it currently does, and then that happens, so what?

Whereas if it actually lost enough capacity to create scarcity given the existing demand for storage, then demand for storage would drive the price of the coin back up, right?

> If I can make more money out of a single adversarial attack than it costs me to build up reputation, then who cares, I'll be doing it over and over again any day.

How are you going to do that with AI training or something? As soon as you get caught once, people go back and retroactively verify everything you've previously done, and then you not only lose any payment received for each calculation you forged, the model you screwed up gets recomputed using the money you didn't get to keep or had to stake in order to be trusted to do computations with lower frequency verification.

BitTorrent is a great success for large, popular data. It's pretty much useless for storing anything with a low number of downloads.

I have the role of "chief troubleshooter" in my engineering group. I have a bit of a nervous tic that forms when I hear absolutes like this.

Not intentional targeting civilians, accidental premature explosion of bomb. Only one of the attacks you've mentioned that was by the actual PKK and actually killed civilians. (e: actually no civilians killed)

None of that. We get LLM on the jobsite and it tells worker how it’s done.

Often nothing as cheap as humans in terms of energy consumption. I doubt LLMs will beat that energy consumption.
That is a lot harder to say after the age of 35 or 40. My social circle includes many alternative people in organic farming where I have occasionally pitched in to help, and I have also volunteered with WWOOF for food and accommodation when traveling. This kind of work, even if a mere couple of hours a day, really, really starts to suck after your knees and back begin to age. And it is not that I have given up and settled into a sedentary lifestyle – nowadays my travels are bikepacking/bicycle-touring where I do 100 km+ day after day, but that exercise is a lot easier on one’s body than the repetitive motions of farming.
Most of the times this argument is fielded, including this one, it is formulated in the shape of an appeal to a general moral principle. I don't see what this principle is supposed to be: as my analogy shows, there is clearly no general moral principle against learning from copyrighted material and people's hard work without their explicit permission. The more narrow interpretation, in which the claimed principle is that a machine must not learn from copyrighted material (...), is also implausible: since we have no real history of machines learning from copyrighted material in any way that is recognizable as learning, it stands to reason that a principle addressing that scenario can not yet have become general.

The appeal is thus to a completely novel principle that you have come up with for yourself; and it seems that rather than presenting arguments for why others should adopt this principle, you are trying to present it in such a way that someone not paying close attention would be fooled into believing that it is common sense and widely accepted. An analogy with the classic "you wouldn't download a car" comes to mind.

I've got about 2,000 M:TG cards bought between 1995 and 2001 just sitting in a couple boxes collecting dust. I'd love to have a fast way to scan them all and inventory them and figure out what's worth trying to sell and what I should just throw away.

At this point, I'd be willing to pay a 25% commission to just ship the entire boxes somewhere and let them handle it all.
cant help but notice that HN seems to like negative neologisms ("enshittification", "crappening") than positive ones. I would hope for a more technoptimistic, or at least technoneutral, crowd here.
Well in my case I can certainly tell you it was because I answered "that's none of your business" to all the questions they asked me. They were livid, and the search they carried out was in an attempt at maximum intimidation.

I'm a US citizen re-entering the US with a valid US passport. They have to let me in and I don't have to answer a damn thing (because the appeals court has already ruled they can search everything you have, including all electronics, without probable cause, I refuse to make their job any easier than it needs to be).

On a separate incident at a separate border point (the Windsor-Detroit tunnel) they sexually assaulted my then-girlfriend (not a US citizen) during a very thorough body search which was also conducted for punitive reasons only after our refusal to cooperate in their search of our electronic devices (after they had already decided to deport her).

(In that case I was driving a rented luxury car, so I don't think it was bus bias, I think it was just retaliation for insisting on our human rights.)

US CBP is rotten trash.
I was agreeing with you. They introduced await because they know that

> highly doubt the military allows their pilots to eject without absolute certainty that the multimillion/billion dollar aircraft is totally lost.

The amount of time it takes to train up a replacement pilot vastly outweighs a new airframe acquisition. Furthermore, ejection is still an incredibly dangerous activity with plenty of chances for things to fail or go sideways, and a near 100% chance of injury. Like, canopy seperation failing, but seat rockets fire due to safety failure...

Suffice it to say, no, there is absolutely no pressure on pilots to not avail themselves of ejecting over and above the fact that controlled demolition of people tank at appreciable fractions of Mach, under fire, or in any of a myriad of inconvenient orientations relative to airstream and/or lithosphete and/or material formerly contributing to the ongoing flight of a perfectly good airplane is exactly nobody's definition of a good day except measured relative to the alternative of being the first to the site of the crash.
Having never tried this before it got nerfed, could you ask these models questions like:

I've seen a GMC SUV with a popup that says not to take your eyes off the road. It may come on while in Park, but it remains once in Drive, preventing any use of the screen until you ... take your eyes off the road to tap OK on the touchscreen. It pops up every other month or so.

There's probably a less-dangerous way to deliver the message that doesn't involve engaging in the activity cited in the message itself.

That'd be like handing out free cigarettes to non-smokers that have "cigarettes are bad for you" printed on them.

I actually think WotC has done a great job of stewarding the game. I’m not sure if that is because of Hasbro or not, although my inclination is that it is in spite of Hasbro’s ownership. Hasbro’s new CEO has a great understanding of MtG, though.

The best thing that WotC can do for the health of the game is grow the player-base. While they have had several initiatives that show them also trying to maximize the revenue they generate off their players, they have also done a great job attracting new player and providing products that help on-board players to become enfranchised.

I think that the closest corollary in the tech world is Apple under Tim Cook. They maximized revenue by expanding offerings and having a diversified suite of products, none of which were targeted at all consumers. For some reason, enfranchised MtG players think they have to buy everything WotC makes, and I think this leads to product fatigue. Players blame WotC, but they are just trying to offer something for everyone.
> My guess is that if I asked you to define what a Systems Analyst is supposed to be doing, you'd tell me what I think a Software Engineer should be doing.

Possibly: I'd certainly agree that what a Systems Analyst traditionally does is exactly software engineering, whereas whether “software engineers” do that, or are selected for the skills to do it, is rather mixed across the industry. The explosion of the Software Engineer title for programmers did correspond with the downswing in Systems Analyst as a role, but it often was not accompanied by the role and expected skillset of the retitled programmers changing, if anything, it was accompanied by a greater focus in selection in narrow coding skills.

> Someone whose job is to simply type out English words is a typist. Someone whose job is to simply type out code is also a typist,

A programmer who is not a system analyst is not just typing out code someone else is written the way a typist types out natural language that someone else has written. They are still solving problems — sometimes fairly complex ones — with code. And there are probably environments where you need many more of them than people doing the rest of what Systems Analysis entails, and in a world where instead coding skills were devalued that would be a problem.

You mentioned an issue (suicide) but simply asserted how it would be treated. You didn’t mention a single real person taking a position on the issue, establish that they were broadly representative of a group, or even establish which group you’re talking about (i.e. are you using “left” in the Fox News sense, general mainstream American sense, or European sense? Those are very different.)
It's always fun to check in on MtG and see what cards are still trading for thousands of dollars! (I also started playing in late 1993 before it took off, but I pooped out around Ice Age...
