Is it easy to find Lemmy mirrors? I left reddit but haven't really replaced it.
Pretty broad paintbrush you got there to mark an entire generation (which I assume you are not part of) as the "problem". Guess when they die off in 2 decades we will be in a walking utopia.
Once upon a time, there was a fresh new operating system, the next step, being demo'ed in the Graphics pavillion of Comdex. Some huge nerd stood there, dragging things around with a mouse, 'proving' that you didn't have to be a programmer to build applications.

A decade after that, something floated around for a year or two called Visix Vibe, which gave the same thing, but for this relatively new language (at the time), Java.

Every few years, maybe 4-5 or a decade or so, someone gets the itch to make all the complexity fade away. Eventually though, they build an OS.
Weird premise. This article is describing ways to get people to like you and ways to create new life connections, not ways for random chance to favor you. Luck isn't controllable.

If I'm a middle-class white guy and my uncle owns a Fortune 500, and he hires me because he knows my Dad (despite me having no experience or skills), and I work my way up the ranks and become an executive, getting hired wasn't lucky.

If, as an executive, I'm going on a business trip, and I miss my flight because of a car accident in front of my taxi, and the flight I was going to take ends up crashing, not being on the flight was lucky.

HN has this weird nostalgic thing for VB and Delphi, but I feel that most people who express it either haven't actually used these tools or don't remember it well. There's no way to do responsive interfaces with it. If you want anything but your OSes native controls, you're in the world of hell too. Even localisation is a problem. No unit, no integration tests. WYSIWYG editors mean that form files are changed automatically and it's often not realistic to review the diffs. And the languages itself — while being adequate for their time, they're don't even have support for functions as first-class objects, so compared to modern alternatives they're almost unusable and require enormous amount of boilerplate.
And arguably they do a better job than the big (and small) labels which just throw a bunch of MP3s at you, maybe with a cover.jpg if you are lucky.
Do you have some experience here? Mind sharing couple of examples - I'm quite curious
It isn’t. It’s “mostly deterministic,” whatever that means.

The authors are rather unfair to modafinil, also, lumping it in with the other two even though the negative "effects" of modafinil were not statistically significant (except in the rather dubious case of the rank testing of "productivity deviations") and the mean deviation was very small. Also, the "value attained" is not available for modafinil specifically; for this criterion — which is the most believable, as it measures what participants actually tried to achieve — the drugs are all counted together, while on other measures they are listed separately. This is particularly disconcerting since the total value attained makes its way into the abstract and the press release yet gets shorted on the analysis.
The real issue seems to be the data governance and people forgetting good data governance when they interact with AI. Does it matter if you are asking Chat GPT to organize this list of PII or asking a random Reddit user to organize it, both are leaking data to an unauthorized third party that can leak it elsewhere. If the model is entirely self hosted and is treated similar to a database so that any PII it is given means the model is treated as always having that PII in it, even if the average user can't find a way to extract it, then the privacy concerns are no different than using any other self hosting application that can store data. You will need to treat it like a data source where all users have either full admin access or no access, unlike a database where you can delegate well controlled partial access.

On the copyright side, that seems more uniquely tied to current AI technology so the accusation of AI being a buzzword wouldn't apply.
This is me to a tee when I was frankly abusing Adderall as a young adult. My judgment of how best to use my time goes straight down the toilet when I'm jacked on amphetamines. The physical side effects are not very desirable either.

This sounds like a horribly bloated stack. Might it be possible to compile the Python part into a lib that the Java app can access? And then package the Java app as a distributable, maybe with a JRE bundled?

There's a lot of summary tools, I feel what is lacking is exegesis. Most texts are too shallow as they are, and condensing them down makes them lose even more nuance. Software that could draw out hidden themes and understated points in a body of work would be incredibly useful.
For my feed, a ton of the NSFW subreddits went away, became so low quality that following them was pointless as the mods left or engagement dropped to ridiculous levels, even the OG big tankers.

r/gonewild for example has nominal 4.6 million subscribers - but among the default "hot" feed on the first page there's just four posts with > 500 karma, and on the 2nd page there's tons of posts with 80-120 karma. That's insanely low, back in ye olde days a simple boobie could easily hit 2k karma in a matter of hours, and there was pages and pages of highly upvoted content.

Now, I can't say whether this is a consequence of users leaving, mods leaving, Reddit manually downranking NSFW sub engagements, or the massive increase of ragebait redirecting attention and engagement - r/europe is filled with utterly vile comments on everything regarding immigration and Islam, r/therewasanattempt even managed to get geobanned in Germany because they put up the (banned) Hamas slogan on their banner [1].

(In the German Reddit sphere, it seems that additionally Reddit has created a ton of outright clones of popular English subs like AitA, DIY, legaladvice, ... that further remove engagement from the large subs and redirect it to the small new ones - this "pushing" of new subs likely also drives NSFW subs with low engagement down the feed)

No, you can't.

You can be prepared for opportunities, and you should. Prepared people will, on average, fare better than those who are unprepared.

But there are a trillion factors beyond your control. Smart, prepared people fail all the time. Stupid people randomly succeed all the time. The former group will do slightly better than the latter, but not nearly as much as you'd hope for from a just world.

I get exercised about this because it quickly leads to blaming people for misfortunes. If you can reliably make your own luck, then people who have not fared well must be stupid, lazy, or morally defective. That lets us get away with thinking that it couldn't be us, and that we don't need to have any compassion for them. That makes an unjust world even less just.

Yes, go do all of the things that you'd think of as "making your own luck". But spare a thought for the fact that while "luck" isn't magic, it is the result of factors that you cannot control and aren't even aware of. That's healthier for you and healthier for society.

> Part of me worries that I am just gatekeeping.

The abhorrence of "gatekeeping" may be my least favorite cultural trends of the last decade. Gatekeeping is often desirable. Expertise is a good thing. Specialization is a good thing. Communities based around shared interests and values are a good thing.
Not really, you can expand it to "Luck favors those who are prepared to take advantage of it." They are more fertile ground for random favorable outcomes that fall everywhere.
Would be nice if our cities and towns were built in such a way that you could get around effectively on a mobility scooter, as shown in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/live/knpDMq6wab0?si=A9pHyOdPC5k6kbgP
Whatever is spent optimizing this to two cores is hours wasted when you could expand. Developer time is still cheaper than Cloud Cores or Ram. Yes you should write SQL queries with basic best practices and have a schema that is just right between performance and normalized.

Not mentioned was table size. You can do a lot of odd things with < 100 million rows of data and get away with it.
This being Dutch politicians dealing with technology it wouldn't surprise me if they completely miss the point. In fact by basically only mentioning ChatGPT they may have already.

You can do quite a lot of harm with very simple models, all you need is unclear rules, little oversight and no avenues for escalation. Which in fact did go wrong, terribly, plunging tens of thousands of households into bankruptcy. You don't need something capable of modelling human language to make things worse. At most a more powerful model can simply do more, but the risks are roughly the same.

And if neural networks writing obtuse language with little empathy following a complex set of rules are causing problems then I've got some bad news about Dutch officials.

I know this doesn't help you in the particular circumstances you mentioned, but: for that I would place the blame on the person who provided the link, for not giving sufficient context to understand.
Yeah, I was wondering if that could be the full dump. I know how far compression algorithms have come, but 318MB for all the subtitles of the world? Would be interesting to know though how large a full dump would be.
> The kids will embrace 100% AI generated music

Watching the music scene over my 50+ years has taught me that music is often as much a reaction to current music scenes as much as it is anything else.

I think it's just as likely the kids will go zydeco or jug band — start finding the equivalent of washtubs and washboards to make music.

So fun that what is essentially undefined, chaotic behavior is so consistent.

Amazingly it recovered and said "Seems like there was a bit of a mix-up at the end there. I hope the initial part with the letter "B" is helpful for your needs!" in the same response with all the B and german
Why are you leaving out the rest of the performance criteria that the article mentions are done more poorly while on any of the drugs?
The most up to date version might use something like Streamlit with a drag and drop editor.
illegal immigration and migratant issues are already a huge problem. it's less about how good it is in modernized countries, and more about how shit it is in crappy countries. UBI may push that a little more, but it's nothing new.
I live in a very walkable city. Pre-pandemic I would always scoff at people I know in other areas who need to drive everywhere. But during and post-pandemic, I no longer leave my house anywhere near the frequency that I used to. And so now I walk just as little as those other people.
i don't follow that argumentation.

do you think that people who want subtitles would pay for content if there were no subtitles available for it?

subtitles either increase sales, or they do nothing. they may increase illegitimate sharing, but they won't do it at the expense of sales.
First of all I don't. I'm pro-peace and I'm sure that there are many great people in Palestine too. I lived outside of Israel for the last decade and had Palestinian friends.

Though there is a big difference between the opinions of fringe groups (in Israel), and the official position of the government (Hammas in Palestine).
this is an instance of the mistake of putting safety first, before health.

if safety is more important than health, that means that it is ok to shoot first and ask questions later
In my country the tax law has a reversed proof clause. Meaning, you are guilty until proven innocent. This clause is activated after you get caught, or even when you did not comply with administrative requirements. Other countries have similar clauses.

So in this case, if you have hard proof, meaning a proper administration, fuel tickets, etc. Which you all don't have, there is basically only a central milage database and ownership records that can hedge your damage.
Factorio's "circuits" mechanic could implement neural networks pretty directly since the components can do 32-bit logic and arithmetic (integer only). It'd be pretty straightforward to implement a multi-layered neural network with a ReLU activation function.
Luck is necessary, but not sufficient.

To be clear, most people have average luck, so with average preparation and an average amount of hard work things will turn out average, on average. Helps if you're born rich and all that, but on average this holds some truth.

Sometimes, you'll be unbelievably unlucky, and no amount of preparation will fix that. But that's unlikely, so you have agency.
The article you linked is ridiculous…

> There’s also the differences in how children are brought up in America and in France. For example, French parents have set strict limits from the time they are born. The children are raised with limits such as not being allowed to snack whenever they want. They have four strict meal times and they know those are the times they are allowed to eat, not before. While they love their children just as much as others do, they do believe in forced strict limitations to help the children grow up in guidelines and feel safe and secure.

Really?
You don't! As mentioned in the README:

"Note: Don't expose your API key in public-facing apps. We will be adding a solution for securely using your API key soon."

I have ideas how to implement this, but I would like to get some feedback first.
Maybe the dictionary definition, but not the colloquial use by many logical people. It is about recognizing and taking advantage of opportunities as they arise. There are several life events that I happened upon (luck) that I was able to recognize and attempt to take advantage of that have shaped my entire life. Looking back, I can see how little changes during these events could have led to a radically different outcome.
Icelander here, but not a keyboard expert.

As far as I know there are mainly two (but there may be more out there) keyboard standards, ANSI and ISO, that define the size and proportions of the physical keys.

Icelandic keyboard layouts for instance use ISO, and so what I meant with my previous comment was that other Nordic layouts would too.

In that sense, Framework has what you need.

But labels are a different story, so in that regard they do not.
Hah I forget this is just a prompt.

I'd suggest modifying the prompt to something like:

- Use CSS 'display: grid;' for most UI elements

- Use CSS grid justify and align properties to place items inside grid elements

- Use padding to separate elements from their children elements

- Use gap to to separate elements from their sibling elements

- Avoid using margin at all

To produce modern-looking HTML without wrapper elements, floats, clearfixes or other hacks.

The site is down so I can't read the full post, but going off of what's been said in this thread, I generally agree w you. This doesn't stop your casual Plex user from using OpenSubtitles. Viewers all download their subtitles from their own IP, and can authenticate/pay if they want more. It does punish pirate streaming websites from taking thousands of subtitles per day while illegally publishing content.
According to that link it's actually if you use > 2500 litres/year, which is a lot. Assuming 40 MPG (UK), that would do you about 35k miles in a year.
For distribution. Where does the content come from? Or would they just dump it all out there? One script per torrent?
Yeah, I'm going to experiment with this a bit today.

I think what might work well is a 2 step process: give GPT Vision (1) reference image & (2) screenshot of current code, ask it to find the significant differences. Then, pass that output into a new coding prompt.

Let me know if you come up with a good prompt or feel free to add a PR.

A new webgpu backend seems pretty cool. Too bad they messed up their reputation super badly.
That's not really the point. You can work the whole world with 100mW on FT8. We don't need another low power band for digital only. If this is the route they want to go, make it unlicensed experimental operation and just limit the power to 1 W transmitter power. The whole point is having an amateur band is that it can be used for operation which might otherwise be problematic because I've agreed to work with the FCC if interference arises.
Right, but the letter "X" may be pronounced "Eggs" and people may not even notice that you're not pronouncing it in a cool "Dimension X" scifi way with reverb and stuff.

But my point is that if you cease to apply a selective pressure, suddenly the organism that were suppressed by this selective pressure thrive. Whereas in the case of the back death the pressure didn't disappear, we just developed a resistance (if that's the case).
Yeah, that's a good point. I think that's important too. But we have a lot of cutting edge hardware coming out of Taiwan that is important in basically every industry, including defense.
the general idea is very interesting and promising. I would probably want to use my custom fine tuned model in my chatbot
You've demonstrated the real issue here, but not the one you claim, it's that programmers have no idea how to use (SQL) databases or how they work.

The idea that software has those negative characteristics merely because it resides within a database, is laughable.
It's kinda a complicated question. Cherenkov radiation can be produced in any medium that has index of refraction greater than 1, that's what allows the charged particle radiation to go faster than the light it produces, which ultimate is what causes the Cherenkov light. The process is not reliant on the specific molecular/chemical/whatever properties of the medium, only dependent on the index of refraction. But, the index of refraction in turn comes from polarizabilty and magnetic susceptibility of the medium. Those factors depend on both what atoms & molecules exist in the medium, but also the structure of those molecules. For example, ice and water have the some chemical composition, but slightly different indices of refraction.

They also had Tesla to bail out SolarCity after SpaceX basically used NASA to buy their bonds and prop them up, which wasn't enough and they were about to fail.
Is there a reason you think it does? I don't believe the two ideas are at odds with each other.

That does make sense, thanks for the context.
Technically correct. But not the point of the question. The question is essentially: "What programming language do we use if IQ of whole humanity reaches 160 measured at the 2023 level?"
This comment tree is discussing how AI will provide a new way to music creation. Cheap smart phones are seen in poorer countries and communities. In the future, there will be models that run on these types of phones locally. They might not be the state of the art models at the time but they will be available.

If we assume the above to be correct then the "cheap" guitar is an additional cost whereas the AI music model isn't. In addition, guitar lessons cost money and spending time practicing is harder for some people than others due to their circumstances.

Yes - I think the overall headline of this is correct (most people should just use PostgreSQL) but they should NOT go into five zoom levels of detail on optimization or anything other than really understanding and utilizing knowledge of how a relational database works (utilizing indexes etc.)
At this point in the hype cycle, I am completely unimpressed by everyone slapping something on top of GPT and calling it a product. There are at least 4 projects on the front page that do this today. The interesting technology is GPT itself, but these projects just feels like people trying to scoop up attention for themselves using the psychology of the hype cycle. Please HN, enlighten me on why the middle-man approach here is so interesting.
