Yeah that happens to me sometimes, to the point where I just ignore it and stay in traffic instead of going down exits and B-roads, which are more effort / more tiring than just creeping forward.

It has sent me down some interesting roads though.
Politics were always there.
The IP lawyers I've talked to about this at length—and who don't have a particular axe to grind—are pretty skeptical in general outside of a specific output being a derivative work of a specific copyrighted work. The argument against generative AI seems (IANAL) to rest on there being some sort of collective copyright (across many different creators and even including works that are not actually copyrighted at all) which somehow carries over to an output that, had a human created it would probably be seen as an original work.

I get the emotional appeal to companies are using my stuff without paying me or even crediting me. But, as I understand it, works are normally considered derivative of specific works—not some large corpus.
Arguably that point extended up to yesterday
OK, thanks. I have updated the article to remove the term "theoretical" and have added an appropriate footnote that references the new work.
Like the other commenter said, this isn't cheesy!

It's one of these funny things, where during adolescence, stuff like this sounds really cheesy (or "cringe"), but then gaining wisdom through life is largely a process of slowly figuring out: oh, this isn't cheesy at all; serious people have been thinking and talking and writing about this topic for millenia, because this stuff really is core to the human experience.
I thought the activists are against this because 'Google is building a company town!' Shouldn't they be happy that Google has ended the deal? Now no one gets to live in houses.

> What would you say are the 2-3 key insights

Here are the 2-3 key insights I would highlight from the summary:

1. OpenAI is evolving to be more of a product company than just an AI research lab, with iterative improvements to their API and tools to make them more usable and accessible. This includes pricing changes and ease-of-use focused updates like removing the ChatGPT model picker.

2. There is a tension between modular plugin models for integrating tools with ChatGPT versus pursuing further integration directly into a "Universal Interface". Consumers tend to prefer integrated solutions for convenience, so OpenAI may continue down that path.

3. To fully realize frictionless AI, new consumer hardware interfaces may emerge as alternatives to being "just an app" on existing devices. OpenAI or others could pursue this route despite the challenges of competing with Apple and Google.
> $15 billion for 15,000 homes is about a million dollars a home?

> Sounds... high

It would be high for that, but it wasn't $15 billion for 15,000 homes, it was $15 billion for a Google office expansion plus development of “residential, retail, hospitality, and community development space,”, the residential component of which would have included 15,000 homes.

I still fail to see how the Racket IDE is inspired by Lisp Machines specifically.
Do you have any pointers where this is discussed?

What do you think is inspired by some Lisp Machine? REPLs existed before. Editors existed before. IDEs existed before. Lisp IDEs existed before. For example Interlisp had a Lisp IDE in the early 70s, long before it was morphed into something like a Lisp Machine with Interlisp-D.
There has been research done that suggested that infection with toxoplasmosis affects perception of risk.
Yeah, but they won't necessarily.

There's a lot of places in society where people ought to infer the worst if the data is hidden from them, but people continue hiding data because it works.

To give an example, I remember when FTX put out its "balance sheet", which was basically a one page spread sheet with visibly-obviously BS round numbers in it in some places. It barely qualified as a joke for a multi-billion dollar enterprise. But there was still some people... a minority, sure, but not just one or two people... arguing that, hey, maybe it was still all on the up and up and if we could just see the real info it would all be OK.

But we were entitled to conclude from such a balance sheet that FTX was a scam enterprise. It would be theoretically possible that we'd be wrong in such a conclusion; being entitled to conclude something is not the same as being guaranteed to be correct about the conclusion. However, in this case, the many who did conclude from the hiding of the data that the hidden data was about as bad as could be were have been correct.

Many people conflate being entitled to conclude something with being guaranteed to be correct. It's worth pondering the distinction if you don't immediately get what I'm saying. It is related to the question of "burden of proof"; in this example, for good and sufficient historical reasons we are entitled to assume that a company is being naughty (not just in the crypto space, in general) and they have a positive burden to prove that they are on the up-and-up. Failing to do so is not proof that they are behaving poorly. But it does mean we are entitled to assume and act as if they are behaving poorly, and it is their responsibility to prove otherwise, not ours.
Then why do they start the range at $100k?

The default is and has always been that employees will come into the office, I don't know why you'd expect this to be specifically disclosed. If it doesn't say remote it's almost surely not remote.
Definitely. I’ve used it on general input validation for many endpoints over the years.
> I mean I can get a supercomputer in my pocket that allows me to access the sum of our civilization knowledge anywhere I am and to communicate with anyone of earth for a few hundred bucks and a monthly fee less than a meal, but roads?! Nooo, those are the real value at the center of our society.

Well... Yeah? Roads are really fucking useful, like many more times than all the knowledge you can have in your pocket. Without roads you don't have that thing in your pocket, because it's not even getting to you, at least not in a convenient timeframe (and not for cheap).

Roads, sewers, water pipes, electricity cables, without those there would be absolutely no way for your supercomputer to be made, even less for that cheap.

Don't dunk on roads, there's a reason why the Romans are still praised for them.

> I'd rather watch some gameplay footage with no commentary. I don't find that a person reviewing a video game contributes anything meaningful to the decision of whether or not I want a game or not unless I know them personally and we have similar taste.

Are you really willing to watch 10+ hours of footage, just to figure out the worth of a game? Because that's the actual worth of a review, telling you not just about the game itself, but also how well it continues after the initial tutorial-phase.
I like video games as much as anyone, but the entire video games industry is such a hot mess. Terrible working conditions, nasty politics, racism, sexism, toxic fans, zero quality control, monopolies, manipulated reviews, endless push of gambling, microtransactions and other addictive behavior...the list is endless.

Honestly, you made an incredibly irrational choice. You went from what is likely a $2500 machine to a $250 machine that is more than 10x worse, but you could have gone from a $2500 machine to a $1200 machine that is less than 2x worse by buying a new M1 MBA or similar instead.

The fact you seem proud of this choice and are holding it out as some sort of virtue as if the difference between an Intel Mac from 2017 and an M1 Mac is inconsequential clout chasing is the cherry on top. The efficiency gains alone in the higher performance and lower power usage make running a non-M1 Mac an environmental loss in comparison, considering that as you so clearly point out, Mac's have extremely long usage lifespans.

> 1. IIUC PE executables are Windows executables. So a Linux system that targets UEFI ends up writing a PE executable to the EFI System Partition?

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: Yes, but it is not exactly a classic Windows desktop application. A PE file itself is at its core just a way to store data in a somewhat structured way. It has metadata (like imports/exports and the target architecture) and actual contents (like data and code). I think it is a good idea to reuse an already existing, common executable file format for this use case. That the choice was PE instead of ELF or Mach-O is, IMO, the result of Microsoft being in the UEFI consortium. They are a big player and likely pushed for this. Whether or not ELF would have been a better choice, I can not say, but at this point I don't think it matters.

Do ask for 700 but be prepared to be passed over for a candidate that's better but asked for less. And if you are exceptional (compared to others) then you damn well deserve it. Comparison to the rest of the market (on both sides) is the crux here, not being 'honest' or whatever (what does this even mean). Isn't it?

Show HN: Mindot – a simple dotfiles backup manager
Even with the ultra-low interest rates, supply was kept low due to nervousness from home builders. Builders were decimated in the housing crisis and, honestly, never recovered. To them, the collapse came sudden and quick, and many housing projects and developments just sit half-finished even to this day.

The focus was turned from single-family housing to apartments, specifically luxury apartments as the luxury housing sector picked up steam quickly as developers and investors jumped on those properties when they were at their lowest prices. So "luxury" apartments were built at low-costs and purchased by investment firms. The main focus was for the builder to get their money back and more as quickly as possible, minimizing their risk, and the investors in the new complex got a bargain "luxury" property that they can increase rents quickly on, while ensuring demand since fewer and fewer single-family homes were being built.

The current issue of supply and demand for housing is, largely, artificially created, possibly accidentally. Single-family housing is just risky now, apartments are less risky. But as people are desiring yards and space again (due to COVID and WFH), we are now seeing the rental model extend to "build-to-rent" single-family communities.
You need to ask people in different circles though.

A cross section of people in your age bracket, people in your neighborhood, people in your family, people you work with, and people you buy things from should give you better info than just one of those groups.
But should they be trained to shoot when they see a threat? They should feel regret if a colleague is killed because of their inaction, but shouldn't they feel more regret if they kill an innocent person? Why should you _have_ to manage the emotions of some cops entering your home lest your son be shot and killed?
what's going on there? Why would someone do that? Accidental copy paste from some weird encoding or deliberate obscuring?
To give context for "a long time" - I believe it was started in 07/08. I remember when it was still "Fully Ramblomatic Reviews".

To give context for "only thing keeping The Escapist afloat" - this isn't the first time The Escapist has imploded. Around 2013/2014(?) there was a big blowup, I think The Escapist was bought out, and the new owners terminated a bunch of people and only (really) kept on ZP. The owners basically bought The Escapist for ZP. They ran as a skeleton for quite a few years, and recently (2021?) they started doing more stuff. Their 3 Minute Reviews have been pretty good, and the Cold Take series has been great.

This is disappointing for me. I thought they were going in a good direction. It's too bad that management decided that they didn't want to keep funding interesting, well considered voices.
It wasn’t twilio it’s driven by the monopoly organization- the campaign registry.

I am a Software/Machine Learning Engineer with extensive experience in overseeing and executing large-scale ML projects, such as a Q-commerce recommendation system that delivered a statistically significant increase in GMV/ARPU. My expertise lies in developing and deploying statistical/ML/DL models using both C++ and Python. Additionally, I possess strong project management skills in the ML domain and offer analytical expertise. While I have some background as a backend engineer, I am specifically seeking roles that involve ML and not solely software engineering. I am enthusiastic about the possibility of relocating to the UK, US, or Spain, but I am also open to remote work opportunities.
Yeah, besides some adverts (when you stop, and I haven't seen them in a while), there doesn't seem to be any monetization going on.
I used it recently on a roadtrip with some friends, it seemed quite nice, but I really don't want advertisements in my navigation app, I'm guessing there is some premium subscription to avoid these?

I'm also not sure about those gamified prompts that come up all the time, I feel like if I was driving alone I could get distracted by the strong call to action to always tap something on the phone to earn points.

Cutting a vice out of your life is always a good thing, so well done.

But I am curious: why not just moderate your drinking? The dose makes the poison. Yes, it is true that alcohol is bad for you, but so are many things. If you limit yourself, you can enjoy it on occasion without doing too much harm.

I personally don't see utility in having a hardline approach to alcohol. You only live once. If you want to crack open a bottle at Christmas, why not?
I tend to agree; the more reasonable "sometimes you need to turn it off" scenario for me is witnesses/victims of some crimes may refuse to talk on-camera. People wanting to talk about a corrupt cop, for example, may not want that talk going into the evidence server somewhere... Rape victims may not want their face and intimate details going somewhere it might be copied and passed around for laughs.
Agreed, though I'm guessing the "why" is that those parts of the constitution are not considered relevant anymore. It's like the part of article 1 section 2 of the Federal Constitution that describes the initial apportionment of seats in the House [1]. It makes sense it was put in there, but nowadays it's irrelevant.

How old are your kids? My eldest is 5, and this is starting to be more and more top of mind. I felt like earlier on that it wasn't worth thinking much about it because it was too hard to predict what the issues would be as they became relevant to her. I think this turned out to be right, because if I'd thought about this a bunch a few years ago, I wouldn't have included generative AI in my thinking at all.
Isn't that precisely how it started? Then, they realized they had so much they could open that financing to more than just large industrial clients. Did they just scale it back to their original intent?
You start at the top. Is your CEO on the board of multiple companies? Probably. Is your CFO an advisor somewhere else? Almost certainly. Does the COO help organise charity galas and political fundraisers? You betcha!

Start the crackdown at the top. Audit your C-Suite, go through their financials, track their minute-by-minute productivity, and ask them to report any external earnings.

No, I've declared a personal holy war on ads. I have many filters enabled on uBlock origin, and I don't own iOS devices on which blocking is less effective. If a website doesn't let me view with an Adblocker, I don't use it to the extent I can. I've had enough with ads and I think targeted ads should be wiped off the face of the earth. Answering the question, I see maybe an ad every 3 days.
You'd be absolutely astounded by the number of $70k pickups out here. Just about everyone has one, probably because beautiful houses cost only 2x what a nice new car costs.
Honestly, with things being as they are, I think the general sentiment of customers is that they do NOT want customer outreach; or, they want a single, high quality, hand written outreach. Apparently we don't like being brow-beaten into purchasing anymore. Basically, like being treated as something other than cash cows.

You know, I don't think we are. We are in our 30s, and the only generation that has grown right in the middle of the pre- and post-internet world.

We have seen how life was before, how socialising functioned, and we still adopted this world-changing invention with the fresh excitement and energy of a teenager.

I feel we might be the only ones to truly understand what we have gained. And what we have lost.

The "why" is because Microsoft and Apple follow Chinese laws.

The other companies refused to follow Chinese laws, so they aren't allowed to do business in China.

I guess that depends on whether or not you consider the distinction between the Mona Lisa and a print of the Mona Lisa almost completely artificial.
Yeah, I hope I made clear that I don't think it's a big deal. It's exaggerated by the gamergate crowd which might have truly kicked off our current culture war in it's current form.
I appreciate that people are looking into this, and I think more research of this kind should be funded.
However, one needs to be cautious when claiming an "impairment" in fear regulating regions from a measure of cortical thickness with MRI. For once, there is no evidence that a slightly thinner or larger cortical thickness means better or worse regulation of any kind.
Second, morphology studies are susceptible to many sources of biases which are not really addressed in this study. For example, anything that affects hydration levels or causes a redistribution of blood and cerebral spinal fluid volume can lead to significant changes in measures of cortical thickness, since they will change the contrast between gray and white matter that drive cortical thickness measurements.

Changes in thickness have been found even when comparing people scanned in the morning and in the evening [1]. Any drug intervention could be expected to cause physiological changes that could act as confounds.
Also, in the discussion one reads: "Interestingly, no lasting effects of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) use were detected when comparing the four groups."
This suggests that the changes could be driven by physiological changes instead of permanent changes in brain circuitry.

It would be great to see a follow up study controlling for potential confounding effects (for example, measuring baseline perfusion, blood pressure and controlling for time of day effects and usage of other drugs), and expanding the study with functional tests that involve fear regulation.

> It would be great if there was some kind of open decentralized protocol for agents as an alternative to being locked in to a few particular platforms.

If you're expecting a company with "Open" in it's name to want to make anything close to "Open", you've lost.

The new trend is to make the company name as different as possible from what you want. OpenAI is all about vendor lock-in, which should be clear from the name, so everything they do will try to lock you further into their ecosystem.
