More like Reddit. The contributors will just leave and you'll be left with a corpse of content to rip going forward. Tofu is different because of the broad contributor base around the Terraform ecosystem. Lots of people's jobs (or companies even, Spacelift for example) depend on Tofu not only existing, but improving into the future.

If you have a benevolent dictator with deep pockets, throttling usage and retrieval is less of a concern. The Internet Archive comes to mind, as does Wikipedia. Reddit's outcome happened because they were a discussion board utility masquerading as a 10-100x VC funded business, and their actions drove away the concentration of mods and contributors who were putting in all the free work (broadly speaking).

I really liked this.

It reminds me of Michael Pollan's book A Place of My Own
The Architecture of Daydreams - https://michaelpollan.com/books/a-place-of-my-own/

Michael goes into great detail on building his own office space. It was really cool to read all the details.

It also reminds me of a Tom Silva quote, "The money is in the details."
It’s a good law. Probably deserving of the term law in almost any circumstance, although I’ve definitely been “lucky” enough to find exceptions (ie optimizing horribly inefficient code where the optimizations really couldn’t have been premature at any point in prior development). Edit: even so, I’ve found the law holds often enough in exactly the same code. Then it’s a very good opportunity to expand test coverage.

I'm wondering if it'd be specific like that or if it'd just say "This video has been labeled to contain synthetically generated content" and not specify. Meaning the spectrum from "Tr|_|mp sticks a turkey where the sun don't shine" and "Non-english speaker uses AI voice to narrate" would be labeled the same.

I hope it's what you're talking about but I've seen enough actions by YouTube to feel like it's probably the latter.

Kinda strange how they forgot to include the big stimulants, like Adderall and Vyvanse, in the study. My guess its impossible to incorporate a placebo with amphetamines. College kids are taking those, not Ritalin or Concerta, lol.
This jives with my intuition and it leads me to the point where I believe we need to stop with all this "imposed honesty". Software needs to start lying and quit being so fortright with that and those who have zero entitlement to it or who can be simply be bypassed. Isn't that the whole logical finale of the whole web integrity/TPM crap? Making everything even more like China?

I feel old now. I'm fairly sure that we could do this almost as fast with VB or Delphi a couple of decades ago, but a little more deterministic results instead of having the tool inferring it from the label names. We had this and then we shoved everything in the browser and forgot that we could do this without using huge amount of compute of some generative AI model.

Cool! I think that becomes more doable then, when the app just has to be able to distinguish between one of several possibilities (one out of X exhibits) instead of anywhere on the museum campus.

I think the ultrasonic beacons might work better than Bluetooth for this, and have less issues with wall/floor penetration. It's probably easier to ask visitors "our exhibits play a special sound signal to let the app know when you're close. Will you allow mic access?" than to try to explain how BT beacons work. Whatever you choose though, it's probably best to back it up with a QR code or just a printed number ("Which exhibit are you at?" 27) etc.
Not to mention a whole bunch of stuff labeled as AI and then the really bad stuff non-labeled because they've worked hard enough to make it indistinguishable from authentic.
the opposite for me, makes it easier for me to solve problem because i can cohesively hold multiple thoughts in my head for long enough for me to see the patterns to be able to understand them, along with the emotional regulation an increase in executive functioning ability that meds help with (which is what adhd really is, not just problems with motivation or bad at concentrating)

but i also work out 5-6 days a week and that + meds have been a huge boon than just meds because it keeps the depression down too, which is what you might be afflicted with because on my rare off days i still can do some work & be motivated
This may start to depend on exactly what you're willing to call relational, but because you still want the schema & foreign key constraints for example enforced in the database, you're just going to do the actual mechanics of joining the data in the application?

join_users_and_widgets(
run_sql('select * from users where account_id = :1', req.account_id),
run_sql('select * from widgets'),
)

for example, where the db still enforces that `widgets.owner_id` is a fk to `users.id` say. And `join_users_and_widgets` only has to know the current version of the schema, all rows have the same columns as it were.
From what I have seen, plenty of the fear was about the GMOs themselves.
Of course, for most intents and purposes, it's "absolutely" true to say that there is no perpetual motion machines. But if we want to be precise, I don't think we can escape the fact that this truth is "merely" relative to a specific conceptual framework.

The now-deprecated conceptual frameworks of the past (religions & cie) weren't so decisive regarding perpetual motion machines for example. In religions/science, people had/have a tendency to think "we've reached the peek", but history relentlessly teaches us to be more careful.

This point of view probably is pedantic, in the context of perpetual motion machines, but that mindset is so prevalent in society today that I can't think of it as a bad habit: it's easy to be blinded by knowledge as much as by ignorance.

Being part of a global reponse to save the world from catastrophic climate change by changing industrial infrastructure sounds like just the kind of thing that tax money should go on.
Looks like they offer a full data dump: https://dl.opensubtitles.org/addons/export/

I haven't actually tried to use it. So long as they offer a dump you could use I think it's entirely reasonable to require payment for the API.

I think it's reasonable to consider them morally open even if the web UI is closed source if the subtitles are open. It feels to me like a project selling a shiny hosted app around an open source project. I think in this sort of project the core "source" is the subtitles, not the web UI.

If OpenAI let you download their models but didn't provide the tooling you'd need to run them I think their name would be much more reasonable.
I don't think that's necessarily true. The laws of physics may be uniform everywhere but we are a product of our environment on Earth during a very slim time window.
I often read texts (blogs, articles, long comments, etc) out of order, skipping whole paragraphs, coming back if I feel like I missed a detail. Just going fast. This post is entirely incompatible with that. Not only that, the combination of thin, serif, monospace font on a white background is distracting, but also like 1/4th of the text is bolded, further messing up how I think what is important. Like it is trying to "force itself" on me - that automatically causes me to "resist" by skipping even more... and there's the bottom of the page. (quoted words are far too strong, but you should get the idea)

I'm sure the author didn't intend that, it's just that how I read things being deeply incompatible with their style.

I do read some things "the normal way", but that requires either the text being densely packed, or a linear story.

I hated canned food. They taste either fake or salty as hell to me. Went to Valencia once, bought some canned seafood, octopus, cockles and mussels from supermarket. The cockles and mussels were okay, but man the octopus was delicious. Spain seems to have a culture of eating canned seafood, as shown by the huge selection in supermarkets. I would love to learn their culture and history of eating canned seafood.
But then why do we have to assume the views of extreme Palestinians as representative?

Indeed to me that's not a ban, but a restriction in the use of possibly risky software until they had the time to draw up guidelines. Honestly everyone working in a company or large organisation aught to have a similar stance. Until we know for sure, don't use it.
Also programmers tend to think we’re very smart and clever.

We tend to like complex problems and complicated systems and build them.

Ironically it’s much harder to make simple software that covers complex use cases than it is to make complex software to do the same.

I do not agree with your definition of writing, nor do I think that was ever the authors intent. Works quite well for me. To each his own, I suppose.
But reading the script to a Simpsons episode doesn't replace actually watching the Simpsons episode.

Similarly, I might pay for a subscription to a website which has a detailed review of that episode along with screenshots. Neither replace watching it, not even close.

I do think that subs are a little bit more legally ambiguous than a review but I think you could make a reasonable argument that they're a fair use under US copyright law.
Saying something "is" or "isn't" something is always within the context and limit of the definition. If you want to throw definition out of the equation just to not be pedantic, anything is anything else.
I've wrote some thoughts on this topic down a few months ago:

People were writing movie scripts long before the talkies became popular :-)

Movie scripts contain much more than the dialogues. There's enough of an argument to be made that transcription is covered by fair use rights.
I think it’s more that we know it (or some equivalent) can definitely work but that we don’t know the exact design this there is an expensive and time consuming process of iteration which was not deemed worth it by those with the know how and capital to build such a thing. Mostly because those are the very people who were profiting off of the existing system.

Why is that the best case? In my “best case”, all of everyone’s needs are met, people pick and grow more intense crops because they want to, artists just enjoy making art, and “income” from work just isn’t really a thing anymore. My best case is everyone has what they need and can access what they want.

missing the forest for the trees. three years of change doesn't make any difference.

To have rent control you have to have been in your apartment since before 1970. Capital improvements are how rent-controlled apartments had their rents jacked up between then and now. The majority of decontrol happened before any changes made in 2019.

The suggestion made before was that rent-controlled apartments were locked into the prices people paid 50 years ago and that's not remotely true. Also the number of rent-controlled apartments remaining in NYC is practically insignificant.
No, it's a simple matter of classification. Given a class of hypothetical devices 'X' with a strict and clear definition the question is whether or not device 'Y' is a member of said class.

If it isn't then that's the end of that.
We had that too. Partial expression indexes mitigated most of the performance problems and CPU load.

We then created consistently-named functions that made the appropriate JSON query. Then an expression index on the function. If the key was missing (NULL result), it wasn't added to the index, and we stripped all JSON nulls before storing.

It wasn't necessarily pretty, but neither was the client's source data, which we had little to no control over. Best of a bad situation.

Jsonb columns required more steps afforded us more flexibility and timeliness when the client kept asking for "one more feature" at the last minute.
But when you ask the LLM where you can read about the library it's referencing (that it made up), it then makes up a URL for it that has never existed, (at least according to the internet archive).

A human certainly doesn't do that in my experience.

Apparently LLMs know when they are making stuff up (or so I keep getting told that over and over by others here).

But clearly they are terrible at communicating about when they are making things up which is a big problem to me.

I wish they would just say when they don't know something rather than make up BS. Plenty of humans are perfectly capable of acknowledging when they don't know something.

Did anybody (outside of the tech/HN open-source-die-hard bubble) actually leave Reddit?

From what I saw, there were protests which most Redit users barely noticed (the front-page just served content from the subreddits that didn't go private), and then there was nothing. The long-term impact seems to be small to nonexistent.

Maybe if the users organized better and started posting "brand unsafe" content everywhere instead of just going dark, the effects (and especially the effects on advertisers and Reddit profitability) would have been different. One can dream, though.

There's a variant called "header bidding" that got a bit of positive PR during an antitrust investigation of Google last year, e.g.:

https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/11/cma_ec_blue_jedi/

"The innovation of header bidding "promised to bypass Google's stranglehold on the exchange market," as detailed in a complaint filed in the US in a New York district court last year."

But note that it's just a way to blast your personal info across even more ad networks!

Privacy and "free and open market" are opposing forces here - the most private way to implement personalised ads is that all bids and targeting info is kept by a single ad exchange who matches and serves ads without sending personal info back to the advertisers.
(Though not really because it's still strictly better to just block all personalized ads, of course.)
Ergodox keyboard and vertical trackball mouse saved my arms. Another commented suggested two trackball mice, one for left and right to alternate. Might do that too.
I might have a different take, but the introduction of ChatGPT last year actually prompted me to dive head first into learning an instrument aided also by a fantastic live performance by Yo-Yo Ma.

In one interview I watched, Yo-Yo said he strived to play pieces perfect until his 20s when in the middle of a concert he realized he was playing perfectly and it was boring. From that moment he decided to dedicate his musical performances to making a connection with the audience. His concert was incredible to experience a room of 1000 people all having their seats shaken by a human being bowing a string without any electronics involved. People were getting drawn in, then jumping back, and getting transported outside the physical. Hard to describe.

And that was when i realized that no matter how perfect a computer plays, humans will always want to hear other humans play. We have had player pianos for over a century and not to mention a long history of sculptures that play music and even now you can get a virtually unlimited amount of extremely high quality near perfect replication recording of the best performances out there.

But still, I just went to buy tickets to a classical music event on a monday night to a solo concert by a not-famous player that each seat cost around $100 and they were sold out.

For me personally, learning an instrument has been a tremendous experience. Even the interaction with my teacher gives me weekly human contact that has become scarce in the post-covid world filled with remote work.

Spending months of practice just to play a song poorly is actually an incredibly freeing and humbling experience. I had my recital with a bunch of people watching me, where I messed up, I played out of tune, but it was an incredible flood of human connection that i never really had prior.

I think worrying about AI taking over music is overblown. Unless the music is going to be generated to manipulate people somehow, but the reality is that in 100 years people will still crave live performances. Just like for the past 100 years, paradoxically, the access and lowered barriers of entry, has actually increased accessed to classical and live performances. People complaining that people today don’t like “music with passion” anymore are living in some fairytale land where they imagine every single person 200 years ago was skipping down to the opera house. The reality was that 200 years ago access to music was incredibly limited and most people only experienced it in church context. If that (rural churches had a lot less going on musically).

People will always crave to see other humans’ accomplishments. Music, paintings, etc are not just an end product, but the more you understand the difficulties and journey of the person producing it, the deeper your appreciation becomes.
RVshare Launches Fleet Management Solution for RV Owners
There are still tools to do it. I think the reason they are not more popular with programmers is that it's basically some stupid subconscious thing where we are afraid of being accused of being users or beginners. Not something we realize consciously, but anything that doesn't involve complex colorful text naturally gets kind of peer pressured out because it looks like a "beginner tool".
There’s no practical reason to draw, paint, play music, or write as a hobby.
