Everyone on YouTuve gets a different level of advertising. Evidently YouTube has decided that you have weed a high tolerance for adverts.
Thanks. I didn't know it was already discussed on HN.

That sounds interesting. If you want to share more about the project: Is there some writeup about it?
Reminds me of this story of a guy who was given some gold tablets by an angel, put it in a hat to read it out for writing it down.
Movies are heavily marketed as movies, so you know what you’re watching. If you don’t, I imagine the credits at the beginning and end, the camera angles, stilted dialogue, the branded YouTube channel, etc. clue you in.
Bhutan is deeply buddhist
That’s not true for the most part in South Asia. Here we have dog populations that are basically native and have lived alongside humans for a long time. So these dog population are not stray pet dogs.
> Library of Alexandria.

Was greek, staffed by Greek speaking scholars and stored works written in Greek. I’m not aware that they had many Ancient Egyptian texts there

> just we can't use absence of evidence to infer evidence of absence.

Can we apply this to pretty much anything we can’t disprove beyond a shadow of doubt? So pretty much everything including loads of conspiracy theories..
As a child violinist, the act of approaching the violin, rosining up, and putting it under my chin fills me with dread. Too many forced practice sessions.

My siblings were raised the same way, but somehow my older sibling devised her own passion from it, independent of parental pressure and she played it much longer than I or my younger sibling did.

It's a great skill to have, and sometimes I find myself whistling old orchestra tunes that have no searchable lyrics (bzw. John Playwright's Newcastle lived in my head for 15 years before I found its name via a music contour search).

One day I will pick it up again. Without the fear or the dread, and just play for happiness.
Another interpretation is that people who drive EVs are also realising that multi-modal transport is better, so they are shifting their journeys to "non-car".

This is a double win!!

Taking an ICE vehicle off the road, and also, using the replacement vehicle less - so less road wear, less energy used, less traffic, more pedestrians and cyclists and car sharers.
All we need is something that will tell us who is right and then impose that vision on everyone.
This is similar to what Eddie Lampert did to Sears' stores.

> 200 Sears locations were sold to a REIT and leased back to the retailer.

Umm, how do the templates escape malicious input (XSS)?
Thank you for replying to me. I'm aware that it was a personal question. Super glad to hear that you found useful treatment.
I’ve said for a decade now that there’s a huge difference between programming and software engineering and you’ve managed to put it in a single not too complex sentence, which generalizes well to other domains.

If you’re reading this as a junior engineer anywhere and don’t quite understand it, just print it out and hang it by the bathroom mirror right next to your operator precedence table.
Most people who are overly susceptible to fake facts already pick and choose facts that fit their believe system. People still believe that someone walked on water and rose from the dead based on stories and a book that was written a long time after it 'happened'.

Well the market is pretty obvious. Example - Fitness Influencer on Instagram can be your personal coach,i.e. the AI clone of the Fitness Influencer you can subscribe to at a fairly low price, as personal consultations are expensive and physically limited. So people with distributions and expertise will train their GPTs, make them accessible at affordable prices. good for creators, it's passive income source and good for consumers, affordable service/education.
It’s different now, because back then to create a movie scene like from Terminator 2 I would need millions of dollars in budget and specialized equipment. Today one person with a consumer graphics card can do this. Which means anyone with any agenda can pump out fake videos and even if 90% of people will not fall for them, the rest will.
> I wouldn’t consider any of this open source any more.

It’s literally AGPL. Do you believe a project must not be sustainable to be considered true open source?
Well sounds like you're making the world better on a very local level so that's good.

This is a gem! Thank you for sharing.
I suspect it’s more self-serving and they just want to weed out people that would have moral qualms about making gobs of money with a white elephant.
Why do you keep inventing stuff... No, JSON with duplicate keys is not invalid. The whole point of streaming is to be able to process data before it completely arrived. What "layering semantics" are you talking about?

This has no similarity with undefined behavior. This is documented and defined.
Definitely agree liquidation is non-starter here. They don't sign long term deals with their own customers so WeWork's only real asset is the brand. What the creditors will do is take over ownership from the equity-hodlers, then try to milk the brand for any remaining value. It's conceivable many of the building owners might actually do ok directly operating WeWork branded spaces and keeping the margin that used to go to WeWork for themselves.
"we need to divide communities"

I think we should put all Trump supporters in the South, and all Hillary supporters in the North. Then you could build a big wall, maybe get some guns, and then everything would be better for ever /s

However you may be right that people claiming to be progressive slander others with little or no fair cause and that is not so great.

You can clearly see images even through a mesh.

You don't need 100% of the light to reach you to have a clear image of something. Even a small portion of the light is enough to get a clear image.

Also, I would suggest just because we can observe things doesn't mean we can observe them from every direction -- there are directions that are more empty and there are directions where we can't see well. For example, large part of our sky is blocked by our own galaxy arms and center and we can't see well much behind it.

And then there are things that we can observe only because we are extremely lucky (usually through gravitational lensing). When we say "we observed the oldest star" we don't mean there were no other stars at the time this one emitted the light.

But yes, in general, our universe is so empty that most of the light after it became translucent will never hit anything.
In Dutch, a pinecone is called dennenappel, so if anybody mistook a pineapple for a pinecone, you have dennen(pine)-appel(apple). I think we have more of this misunderstandings between Dutch and English (acorn is a fruit, but an "eekhoorn" which is pronounced in the same way is a squirrel, that eats acorns).
How can we find the actual "expected value" of the rules in SF? They seem to be a mixed bag, even if we discount people abusing them. I hear about roughly the same number of good, well intended but silly, and evil / gaming the numbers. (like forced removal of camps or just making it someone else's problem https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2017/dec/...)

It seems like the system can help some people, but the same system is really broken too. If we just compare it to other cities it doesn't seem like the expected value is very high. (unless we somehow show that SF has a high ratio of abusers of the system)
LLMs can quickly extract ideas using search and synthesize fresh articles. Take this conversation thread for example, there are many interesting ideas here, they can be scooped and formatted in a nice style. This gives AI a seed of authenticity, its main role would be to curate the mess.

Here is a sample, it took only a couple of minutes to make: https://pastebin.com/WZpfgWWH

Prompt: Please write a 1000 word long article based off of this text, don't mention the commenters, just weave their ideas into a coherent piece.

> Wouldn't there be basically no dogs left in a couple year?

You may be amazed how many people don't see pets as responsibilities and either discard them for trivial reasons (like moving house) or let them breed and then dump the litter out to fend for themselves.
Tangent to this discussion, but has he ever tried Nordic walking?
Adam Neumann promised to get rich, he got rich. He also mentioned, that his grandkids gonna be on the board and carry his legacy, it is probably true, as he has built generational wealth for them in real estate. He took everyone else for ride. Matt Levine wrote multiple times on Adam Neumann and WeWork. One of my favorite quotes "He lit $10 billion of SoftBank’s money on fire and then went back to them and demanded a 10% commission" [1]. And they kept paying them.

For me, yes. I do generally make sure that content creators that I like get paid, e.g. via Patreon. I still buy all my music, primarily on Bandcamp. I subscribe to streaming services and haven't sailed the seas to find movies for years.

However, YouTube I will never pay for. Google has lost my trust, and I fear that they are in the process of destroying the internet and turning it into a walled garden riddled with unblockable ads everywhere. I use uBlock to block their ads because (1) I don't want to watch them, and (2) I want to actively hurt Google financially by spending their compute resources but not giving them ad impressions. I make sure that the content creators I follow get paid otherwise, so I think this is perfectly morally consistent.
Firefox with uBlock Origin here. No ads at all. You might also try Freetube: https://freetubeapp.io/
It's not even Cloudflare, just made to look like it. reCAPTCHA widget is a dead giveaway, real Cloudflare pages use their own implementation.
Do you have any decent local bookstores nearby? You might be surprised at the variety of magazines they have once you skim past the usual options. I've seen all sorts of niche publications, including zines. Most are not for me, but that isn't a problem since there is usually something that catches my eye.

You might find something that grabs you from the list of exhibitors here: https://www.seattleartbookfair.org/Exhibitors
Or look for similar events and check out who attends.

I like reading about food, so places like Omnivore books have specialty books or magazines that are not just recipe books. Though I do like cookbooks. https://omnivorebooks.myshopify.com/
Just eyeballing it for a minute works for me. But people are prejudiced and their opinions will always cloud their judgement, no matter what the evidence or counter-evidence is. So overall, nothing will ever change.
What do you mean "orders of magnitude above" for DALL-E? As far as I can see, Midjourney is $0.05 per image, and that's if you don't forget you have a subscription. I've ended up paying $10 per image.
I do see comparison images between Hubble and JWST, and there is a marked difference when you zoom in on the number of background stars... but yes, nothing dramatically new jumps out visually. I suppose most of the gains come from tracking new blobs of pixels instead of hazy blurs, and that's enough to make some really cool models.

I do hope one day to be able to have such resolution that one can witness an alien lifeform with the same accuracy as a spy satellite today. Childish, far-future wish, I know.

> grounded in some form of historical tradition.

I’m sure that many cultures had some sort of ancient flood myths because of what happened after the last glacial period. But beyond that…

> detailed and concrete,

Which would be the opposite of one might expect? If we’re talking about thousand year old myths we should assume that anything “ detailed and concrete” must have been invented?
There's a lot of hidden wisdom in just using the most popular thing and ignoring the fanfare.

Maybe also with a lindy-ness bias -- X might be more popular than Y at time T, but X came out of alpha at T-1 and Y released version 17 at T-5. But those two rules will carry you very very far if you want to focus on building instead of picking.
Oh awesome, subscribed and will be watching some videos from the backlog :)
Here in Australia it’s nothing to walk from Brisbane to Sydney for breakfast.

Walking back home is a pain though since it’s all uphill.
Solving men's issues, particularly friendship for middle aged men, developing hobbies outside the purview of providership, infrastructure and tools for fighting addiction of all kinds and mental fitness. I think a lot about what a modern day men's magazine would look like, and what sort of platforms or tools could exist in service of men's emotional well being.
Currently there are tiny imperfectios but I believe in 10 or 20 years they will be indestinguishable with the naked eye.
Interesting.

I’m still building my automation platform product and looking to encrypt my data going into db.

In my case I’m using Go for the backend applications. Any suggestions there?

Also do you suggest I do per user level keys or organization/workspace level?

There are a bunch of methods for doing field surveys of animal population in the wild, but they don't work so well for large animals. I'm curious how they estimated it, too.

"Trust me bro" is not evidence.
The compilers worked just fine. Itanium was not even that particularly VLIWish, as the instruction carrier wasn't that particularly wide (up to 4 instructions)

All that Itanium was, at the end of the day, was an in-order PA-RISC/SPARC hybrid that exposed a lot of the superscalar innards to the programmer (compiler)

VLIW scheduling even back then wasn't as much of a mystery as the usenet and register flamewars implied. It really is pretty straightforward for a compiler to behave like an in-order superscalar scheduler. And since the compiler has a much global information about the instruction stream it can do much more optimizations and static ordering than a normal in-order HW superscalar scheduler alone.

Plus itanium had plenty of dynamic microarchitectural components to complement the static ordering done by the compiler and increase FU utilization.

If anything, things like predication and its adverse effect in power consumption had a much worse impact on itanium than the compilers.

What killed the itanium was just simple economics; its performance was fine (for the time, at least for itanium2). It's performance/price ratio, however, was not.
The first step is that you start rich
Fair point with the second one but for the first off by one is a logic error still?
Some of the dead can be interesting as long as the discussion does not touch topics that send them off. Makes you wonder if you could create a discussion direction tag based partial shadowban.
First, you complain that the person started by explaining the current state of the art and why a better solution is needed ("don't bury the lede").

Second you wonder if the problem is worth solving and what the current state of the art is, which is exactly what the text you're complaining about answered clearly.

I'm personally quite happy with how they formatted this blogpost.
It’s not unlikely that he based it on some (maybe even commonly know at the time) ancient myth. Plenty of civilizations had flood related ones (and there is some historical basis for it). Of course all the government/society descriptions were invented by him
> Ita forerunners

Haven't read Anathem and couldn't find in any summary who the Ita are.
Stephenson's story being about a post-societal collapse I fantasise
that that ITA are the Information Truth Authority.

Well, if Stephenson didn't mean that, I'll just make it up, right? :)
Because anyway, that's the thing we need to be mindful of and avoid in
the coming years.

In some ways I see LLM-AI and DeepFakes as being the undoing of the
printing press and the camera respectively.

Both inventions "liberated truth". Gutenberg's press eroded the
authority of the church and kick-started the real scientific
revolution. The camera changed popular conceptions of geography and
history. Together they created "News" as a concept in modernity, even
before electronics brought instantaneous television.

If AI undoes this, a good way to understand the worst future is to
rewind to a pre-Gutenberg and pre-photographic era. A key dystopian
feature would be a singular centralised truth and information
authority, essentially replacing the church circa 14th century.
It's expensive and risky, and it can be hard to find a specialist vet. I kept pet rats once, and it was easier to just separate the males and females from each other.
This.

Obviously it got downvoted to "grey".

I'm always fascinated that hacker news, a forum for many developers and other, what I'd assume, "higher intelligent" people, fails to see this.

IBM JCL was where the truly magical incantations entered the picture. We had grad students who hung out in the punch card room and they were the go-to guys for getting your JCL sorted out. SYSIN DD *, baby!
Not by people who copy and share information, it hasn't. People who stand to gain from the spreading of an idea WILL tend to spread it, but that doesn't mean the rest of us have to accept it.
Per the announcement, the "GPTs" do, natively.

I think everyone else had been hacking it on via "functions"
Do you even read NYT, WaPo, and CNN? They have all been very good at showing things from the Palestinian side and how much people in Gaza are suffering.

It's absolutely unhinged to put them in the same category as Fox News.
One of two things:

Either what we know about black hole formation is basically complete (it goes gas -> star -> black hole -> accretion + collisions) but the environment in the early universe was sufficiently different/dense that parameters which rule out the formation of supermassive black holes now were different. Maybe there were many intermediate black holes just in the millions of years after the big bang and things were still close enough together that accretion could happen and collisions were "likely" at the rate needed to form SMBHs after just a billion years. If that is true we might expect to see many many active galactic nuclei as we get better telescopes and look further back, depending on how quickly such black holes formed.

The other option is there is a mechanism of black hole formation that bypasses the above chain which we understand. People talk about supermassive stars, gas clouds collapsing directly into black holes, or primordial black holes that existed due to essentially random distributions of density moments after the big bang causing some regions of space to collapse into massive black holes which then persisted. Such things are far more difficult to observe, but could be inferred if we don't see many many active nuclei as we get better telescopes but all other indications of the accuracy of the big bang + inflationary theory hold true.
I do love aider, thanks for making it! I'd like an option to stop it from writing files everywhere, though, even if that means I have no history.
It’s typically an IPFS hash of an image that is stored on the blockchain, rather than a mutable URL. Some generative artworks will even store all of their code on-chain.

Ultimately, the chain is meant to be a ledger of transactions (like a decentralized Christie’s auction house maintaining provenance), not a storage layer.
When you loop at least set a query string counter and stop after 3 times. You can then display a note to the user that they need to enable first party cookies.

I find it remarkable that he manages to escape the spotlight that SBF or Elizabeth Holmes received. I guess the guy knows how to play the hustler game better than all of them.
* The "python" command pointed to "python2" on many Linux system for a long time

* A lot of libraries were not ported for many years

* People kept repeating that "Python 3 is not ready yet", because they read an old statement on Stackoverflow and didn't consider that this might change in only a few years.

From GDPR, article 21, paragraph 5

„ the data subject may exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications. “

https://www.privacy-regulation.eu/en/article-21-right-to-obj...

From that it seems pretty clear, that automated signals like „do not track“ are allowed and legally binding.
That. And none of the big social media platforms were big at the start either.
A lot of folks will just walk away from the project after such an experience. Its in the long term interests of a community to bring new contributors up to speed rather than alienating them.
Short answer, no, there's not. Adversarial AI could be used to find deepfakes, but then AI will be trained on those adversaries etc.

There is no real solution to this problem, but my thoughts on the matter are that in the future it will be common for cameras or recording devices to have a cryptographic signing key and the resulting footage would contain a signature. This would allow news outlets to prove to their audiences that the footage is untampered with. It could also be chained so that officially licensed syndicates could also offer provenance to their audiences, or that clips/re-encodes of the same footage could link back to an original recording.

This doesn't stop organisations or individuals from recording a deepfake, but it would put their reputation on the line (similar to how we have certificate authorities signing SSL certificates now).

It's up to you then if you want to trust the footage provided by AP vs. the footage provided by Infowars.
My personal experience of this is that you can have direct, hard evidence of someone commiting fraud, and they will still jump on social media screaming that they are being persecuted.
Experts, if we bring the accuracy of operations to 4 bits, would it not impact the output quality?

Intuition says, yes. Would appreciate some practitioner/theorist on the subject to say what is the impact of lower precision on accuracy/output of a model.
