Sorry I missed this question earlier.

I may turn down the brightness on images, generally, in dark mode. (Using a filter).

And have some classes that mean “don’t alter the brightness of this image, in dark mode”

And there may be other images which I will invert the color of. For example any image that is basically black text on a white background — it’s better to invert it completely rather than just lower the brightness.

Something you omitted is that one of the ways you can break the terms of your subscriber agreement with Red Hat is to exercise one of the rights guaranteed to you by the GPL, which is the right to take the "specific code and build instructions to build exactly what they distributed to you" and give them to someone else.

Or to put another way, Red Hat dissuade their subscribers from exercising their rights under the GPL with the threat of punishment - the termination of your subscription. The GPL is designed to grant you a right and the Red Hat subscriber agreement is designed to prevent it from being exercised. It really couldn't be clearer that this is against the spirit of the GPL. I don't see any other way to interpret what Red Hat is doing.
This seems like a strong assertion. Would you share your source for it?
No I meant the standardised approach is the lowest common denominator. It’s the least common unit that has been agreed upon. Category Error at worst, but well within colloquial bounds.
Exploiting an egg?

Having people produce something and not paying them what it is worth so someone else can profit - is exploitation.

Remove the prejudice from the word. Just like if you “exploit a coal seam” or “exploit sunlight to generate electricity”. You are deriving value from something where the benefit is more than the cost. When the exploitation crosses a human, it (rightly) takes on a negative connotation.

And that's story init? Not that anyone "rolls over" for the FBI. We all know it happens. The question is why. in this case it's likely not money. PT has plenty.

1) So what would motivate him?

2) How often do these type of "exchanges" go on, and we have no idea someone's (e.g., politician, journalist, industry titan, etc) actions were dictated by the Intelligence Community? This isn't a conspiracy theory. It's IC 101.
Hi guys, thanks so much for all the love you're showing our thermal printer project! As you've probably seen, the sudden HN traffic has been a bit overwhelming for our site.

I'm with Good Enough, a small collective of six friends. We're not venture backed, and our guestbook is really just a little art project. We honestly made it for the fun of it, and it's not for profit, and it wasn't designed to scale. :)

Please take it easy on our little printer! And do take a moment admire all the lovely drawings people all around the world have created. Each print has to be manually scanned in (I put the prints over old comics and scan them in on a flatbed scanner), so it'll take a while for today's drawings to show up on the gallery.

The technology behind it is quite cool and you can read about it here: https://guestbook.goodenough.us/info (Sorry, but the site might be slow right now...)

And if you're curious about our other work, here's our site: https://goodenough.us Thanks again, and hope the rest of your day is fantastic!

Your math is off, without more data.

What do you think the number of different ads being displayed is, given how much each ad costs?

Estimates suggest it's about 30 billion ad impressions per day to earn that.

If each distinct ad gets 1000 impressions, that's 10 billion ads to review per year.

Let's be super generous, and assume it's 10k impressions, leaving us with 1 billion ads to review.

Let's further assume it's 1 minute per ad to review them, because people are super good at it. This will take 694440 person/days to review.

So to even give a 24 hour turnaround time, they'd have to hire 694,000 people.

If they pay them 65k each (yearly minimum wage in california), that's 45 billion a year.

This again, assumes we have ads with lots of impressions, it's only a minute per ad, and that we are okay with 24 hour turnaround time. Otherwise, it costs more.

It's really easy for people to play the "company makes x, they can afford y" game, but without real data it's sort of magical thinking.

I doubt humans could easily keep up with the review load here, at scale, at any reasonable cost/living wage.

> none of those people get paid when you buy a secondhand copy

Yes, which is why nobody is saying "buy second-hand books to support your favorite author".

Also, it's probably a small effect, but I'd guess that the existence of a secondary market contributes to at least some primary sales (since the buyers know they will probably be able to resell a book if they need to, making them more likely to buy a primary copy if they want to read it right now).

Somebody paid for a second-hand copy, nobody paid for a pirated copy.
This is very interesting. I am working on a similar project related to generating dependency graphs (basically only type of connection is A depends on B). I tried to get the common chatbots to generate the data in the form of dependencies, but I didn't have much luck.

> If you think of posits as a storage format, it's true that you only need an extra posit->float decoder, but you need bfloat16 to exactly decode all 8-bit posits into a single, common FP format.

But you're not limited to powers of two. If you're decoding to 16 bit floats then you can use posits up to 13 bits wide.

> In terms of hardware to operate directly on posits, things get ugly. Floats are actually relatively easy to work with due to the normalized storage format and fixed precision across the range of numbers, while posits don't have that.

But is that extra shifting bigger than the multiplier unit? It's hard for me to see it growing the circuit that much.

I think there’s a pretty big difference between something like the AP or Reuters that takes accuracy seriously, and many of the organizations that game the YouTube algorithm and just publish whatever gets the most engagement to drive themselves to the front page.

For example, when the AP caught reporter Christopher Newton fabricating sources, they fired him and immediately conduced a review of everything he had written for them, issuing retractions or corrections as appropriate.
FB's enforcement style is shitty but IMO the larger point here is that they're no longer built for small business advertisement

if you're an agency or if you're large enough to have an account manager, things go smoothly

if you have facebook / insta cred and try to build a following on top, you're probably also okay

but if you get on there to build a business from scratch, and don't have the budget or creative team, it doesn't work for you. I tried last year, learned some tricks, but ultimately came away with 'this isn't what my business needs right now'
In many states, the "teachers' union" isn't really a union at all — it lobbies, but it can neither collectively bargain nor strike.
Bittorrent is most useful as a long-running application or background service to make data available. To get any use out of it in short-running contexts (e.g. updaters) you need lots of machines jumping on the content simultanously.

About the lawsuits that he bankrolled that shut down a press outlet, he himself said:
"I strongly believe in the First Amendment" [...] "I believe journalists are a privileged group in our society. They play an important role in getting us information and in the system of checks and balances. But these were not journalists." https://www.engadget.com/2016-10-31-peter-thiel-silicon-vall...

It is my honest opinion that Thiel is a hypocrite and is a libertarian only if and when it's convenient to him.

In this quote, he's letting himself off the hook for undermining the First Amendment protection of the press, which he also did covertly, btw, by claiming that his targets were not journalists when they were.

I'm not saying they weren't scumbags for publishing what they did, but he doesn't get to have it both ways. That's the point.
Being libertarian leaning is not being an anarchist. A core part of being a libertarian is a strong judicial system and only the fringiest of an already fringe are against police, such as the sovereign citizen types.

FBI does counter intelligence as its primary mission anyway (as opposed to just law enforcement) and Thiel seems to be concerned with China, not using the gov as a weapon against citizens domestically.
They jest, but I see a business opportunity here if someone were so bold. The new Amazon EV trucks could be modified to have an electric urine collection system and collect the urine in a large tank under the vehicle whilst it is in motion. While collecting the suction motors pulsate to the song wagie cagie [1]. Upon return to the warehouse the vehicle could couple with a set of connectors that charges up the batteries and drains the urine collection tank. That urine could be processed to separate out the Urea and sold to the companies that produce Diesel Exhaust Fluid. The separation machine is powered by employees on their break time stepping on peddles to get exercise. The remaining chloride, sodium, potassium, creatinine could be processed and sold on Amazon as "Completely natural supplements" branded as "Amazon Heart Healthy" with the drivers ID number on the ingredients ~Edit out: giving them a portion of the profits~. The bilirubin could be sold as antioxidants to prevent endothelial cell injury. The marketing options are limitless.

I jest but when evil corps give you lemons...

Yes and yes ;)

As antagonistic as it sounds, I'm not trying to be a dick. I genuinely believe it's a bad thing to try and solve this problem with tech.

It's a parenting problem, so when it's solved with technology, it's not solved at all. The problem isn't the lights being left on, it's kids needing to learn responsibility and mindfulness. This is normal and fine, but if you solve it with tech, you're robbing them of the (difficult!) parenting necessary in this area.
It's not that hard to visit the Bandcamp home page and see a ton of editorial content. I've spent thousands, if that's relevant.
Yikes is that really an "FBI informant"?

It sounds logical, consider this news item from yesterday: "Five Eyes intel chiefs warn China's IP theft program now at 'unprecedented' levels"

Should people here really just accept other nations blatantly stealing and "infiltrating"?

We haven't tried it on old 78rpm recordings, but feel free to send one over to thomas@tape.it . The algorithm is trained on a surprisingly small amount of data by today's standards, due to the architecture we chose. There is a lot of room for improvement as we collect more examples, and it's something we definitely intend to do.

I believe Minecraft redstone is what first got me into programming, if you don't find that sufficient then Minecraft also got me into Googling how to make a website with HTML/CSS (little me had no clue I needed JS), and eventually trying to make my own Minecraft (and other video games) in Unity using C#. I really owe Minecraft my career haha
In all likelyhood they have little more to go on than the same script the AI has, except maybe they also watched a training video published a long time ago that is now out of date.

> And? If there's no free will, there's no choice about "changing the state of the world", either.

There is no choice involved, but what is the current state of the world over time still changes. You don't even need mutable state to model this, just the progression of a calculation where the output of one step becomes the input of the next.

> > It's a 100% deterministic function, yet its output changes with its input.

> Not if there is no choice about the value of x.

Here is a program using the earlier definition of f:

result = f(1)
result2 = f(result + 1)

This program is purely deterministic, yet the value of x in the application of f is different at two different points during the execution, and so the output it produces is different at different points in time. Furthermore it also shows how output in a purely deterministic manner can affect subsequent input, and so affect the output again.

This is what is meant above with "yet its output changes with its input". Perhaps you're struggling with the use of "changes" to apply to multiple different executions of the function.

The point is the same: If you assume a purely predetermined universe, it by no means means behaviours can not be different at different points in time, because inputs to a given process are different because of what has gone on before.

No change or choice in the sense you're using it is required.

Charging monthly subscription before company registration
Hey,

We are launching a new SaaS product soon and want to offer a monthly subscription with Stripe. How can we start charging before we have a registered company? Is there something like a fund where the money can be locked up until we have enough confidence in the demand and open the company?

I know there is an option to use Stripe as an individual, but still not sure how that would help - we are 3 co-founders.

Our location if it matters - two of us live in Israel and one from Poland.

I would much appreciate your help!

Thanks,
Steve
Is this the beginning of the presidential run?
The elephant in the room is that this happens because these companies are too big. They command such monopolies over their walled gardens that everyone must advertise with them, so there is no requirement to provide customer service to any but the largest accounts.

With many smaller companies in a competitive environment, some would be forced to provide a good customer experience to differentiate their service. Theoretically, at least.

(Note the advertisers are the customers, not the users.)
Sounds good, but since it is not EU based, my band and I will have to stay put. Good luck though. Competition is a good thing.
The intelligence community is one of their biggest customers, if not the biggest.

Doing things is much easier when you start with more money and more contacts.
Maybe that's a new thing for people who believe that "success" is a meritocracy, but it was already obvious for everyone else.
Well, sure. The difference is in intent. It's something where I would want court-appointed lawyers reviewing these company's internal communications, and taking depositions, to figure out.

"Oops we sold out" is one thing. "Oops; we conspired with other companies to limit supply and to form a cartel" is entirely another. The industry's been caught doing the latter too often, and governments' oversight is IMO too slow, too weak, and lacking meaningful deterrent power. I think they need to be much more aggressive. This stuff victimizes consumers.

the 'low resource languages jailbreak gpt-4' paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.02446v1) shows that the models, when prompted in a low resource language, return highly coherent and sophisticated responses. it's possible that RLHF does not do a great job here but the base models are clearly cross-applying intelligence from high resource languages to low resource languages.
> starts a billion dollar company that helps the government spy on people, become FBI informant

That's not necessarily antithetic.
Although you could make the rationale that doing such a company reinforces the power of the government, and therefore creates a bigger government which would be against libertarian ideals

I worked remote for a few years before the pandemic and the sense of isolation was definitely pervasive. But that’s not because of remote work or remote relationships alone having some inherent isolating quality.

Several of my closest friends are people that I only interacted with online for several years before we ever met in person. No isolation there.

Many Businesses just aren’t really trying to make that kind of thing work long term. All effort at this point appears to be geared towards the eventual ‘return to normal’ which will probably go away once far more invasive monitoring tools are the new norm!

The general education requirement is one of the single most important things that universities demand. A well rounded, liberal arts education is crucial to making sure people who come out don't just come out with a hyper specialized knowledge and know nothing else of the world. I agree that it could be taught better, in fact there should be more gen ed reqs added, not fewer.
Like GP I was also confused and tried looking for a pricing page but failed.
Seems like there isn't a link to it from https://app.codecrafters.io/catalog which is the site you go to if you click the big CodeCrafters logo in the top left of the page.

There is a "Subscribe" button which takes you to https://app.codecrafters.io/pay but I wasn't savvy enough to notice it or realize what it was.

Only after starting a course did I begin to suspect that I needed to subscribe since there were a bunch of locks all over. However, it was not clear that the locks actually did anything since I could still click on those links.
I guess I would have found out after completing the first step and not being able to progress. This appears to be by design, which strikes me as slightly dishonest.

They consulted their lawyers to be able to structure the buyout and the layoffs in such a way as to have plausible deniability for busting the union. Are you saying that it's to their credit to not have bulled forward with blatantly illegal union busting, but rather to have done enough diligence to possibly have stayed within the letter of the law?

I don't think it disproves my point, I think it's the other side of the same coin. The game has so much breadth and depth that it doesn't matter in which direction you explore it; you will keep finding new ways to keep yourself amused, even without updates (some of the things I've named have been in the game for 5+ years).
Running Bun as AWS Lambda Function
If that had been true, then I guess there would be no offerings of "workstations" that pack server-grade CPUs into the tower cases ready to be used as more powerful desktop machines. I happen to have one at home (dual socket) and it's silent just as a regular machine.

Noise that we find in server machines is because of the fans pushing loads of air basically out through the 1U/2U tunnel. With tower cases that is not the case and hence there's no noise.
