> SEC whistleblower information has to be original, which I presume means you have to have direct knowledge of infractions, rather than just claiming someone told you about them.

I think of it like walking outside and accidentally encountering a physical briefcase containing documents that could be used for whistleblowing. SEC would still honor the award for that person, right?

I am not an expert on this, so it was a genuine question, not rhetorical. I always assumed that the “original” part was mostly referring to “no, we are not giving you the award because you are the 50th person to blow the whistle on this”, and “direct knowledge” was referring to “you actually gotta have some proof of wrongdoing happening and not just try to gather an award from SEC because your dad working at Nintendo told you so.” So my guess was that documents obtained through a hack would not be an issue for SEC, as long as you were the original reporter (aka no one had reported this before you) and the documents actually provide some evidence of the wrongdoing that is more substantial than just hearsay.

Quite genuinely, I don't think I've ever posted a comment on HN where I've expressed support for open, locally running LLMs and had it been downvoted. Am I missing something here? You want to point me to all of the articles where people criticize Huggingface?

But regardless of how you interpret HN sentiment towards uncontrolled AI access, it doesn't change the fact that "what about the government" is a profoundly weird thing to ask in the middle of a conversation about people doing erotic roleplays with a text bot. Is that something people are worried about? Do we think that the US Post Office is going to suddenly start advertising a sex bot service?

Yes, government abuse of facial recognition exists, regulatory capture exists, etc. But that's not really relevant to a conversation about companies offering AI girlfriends; AI girlfriends do seem to be mostly a corporation thing.

Yeah, I got it in my inbox after making that comment, and thought "well that was a pointless comment", but I suppose it does help that you linked to the Levine column. It is no doubt a sign of the times (and not a good one) that the funniest columnist is a guy who works at Bloomberg who writes about "Money Stuff".
> It is not an effective penalty for filing frivolous lawsuits to delay projects.

Again: it is your opinion that these are frivolous lawsuits, and that's fine. But there are probably just as many (or more) people that think that they are not.

A frivolous lawsuit is one that does not have merit, has no facts supporting it and usually isn't intended to be won. The lawsuit itself is the goal. These don't qualify as far as I'm concerned. Not even close.
The post is super light on details, it's hard to visualize if it's worth it or not.

For examples:

- How much data are they working with? What's the traffic shape? Using NFS makes me think that they don't have a lot of data.

- What happened when their customers accidentally sent too much events? Will they simply drop the payload? In bare-metal they lose the ability to auto-scale quickly.

- Are they using S3 or not, if they are, did they move that as well to their own Ceph cluster?

- What's the RDBMS setup? Are they running their own DB proxy that can handle live switch-over and seamless upgrade?

- What's the details on the bare metal setup? Is everything redundant? How quickly can they add several racks in one go? What's included as a service from their co-lo provider?
They could also have been counterfeit or substandard.

Not saying you're wrong (because I think you're right), but there are other scenarios here, so from a theft perspective, the OP would be not guilty.

> DMCA defines copying as theft.

Then the DMCA would be wrong: Theft requires the original owner to lose their property, which does not occur when copying data. This is no surprise as the DMCA has always sucked.

Frankly you missed my point entirely, the DMCA and my/the technical community's general disdain for it doesn't have much to do with what I wrote. What I'm saying is that in 99% of cases AI art is unique enough that you simply cannot pin it to an existing author and say that they were copied directly. There are obvious exceptions when you prompt it as specifically as possible to try to make a copy as best you can (which is still never quite 1-to-1 with the original), but in 99% of cases, it is pretty much not possible to pay the "original artist" because you cannot identify them. What good is an unenforceable rule?
100% agreed, Jetbrain IDEs are great buys, but some people refuse to make the leap. I'm currently running into formatting issues/PR conflicts because of other devs refusing to switch over and the default formatting rules between Code and Jetbrains is wide.
LOL Sorry. I was shooting from the hip. Thanks.
Recently, I've been thinking that we need a microkernel design in applications. You have the core and then services that can integrate amongst each other and the core that provide flexibility. Like the "browser as an OS" kind of things but applied more generally.
I'm not a fan of car dealerships but, in the category of things you pay $10s of K for in cash (other than maybe expensive travel bookings), car purchases are actually pretty low effort relative to most things so long as you don't need financing. Certainly don't deal with builders/contractors.

>a drone operator will push a button, kill a dozen people, and feel like it was a videogame

This might depend on the context. RadioLab recently did a podcast titled "Toy Soldiers." Using low-flying "toy" drones rather than the high-flying "predator" drones, they make the case that drone operators get an oddly intimate portrait of their enemies. They go into how they reference them by their attire ("the 'red shoe' guy”) and witness on an up-close and personal level how they grieve over their comrades.
It include an asterisk. Those salaries come with the reality of living in locales like the bay area or Seattle and the like generally, with all the exorbitant costs of living in those areas

A lot of companies (like Amazon) will gleefully slash your salary if you try to move somewhere cheaper, because why should we pay you more if you don't just need that money to fork over to a landlord every month?

There's also all the things Americans go without, like socialized healthcare. Even with their lauded insurance plans they still pay significantly more for worse health outcomes than any other country

The dealership model and the States' protection of their business model has nothing to do with safety. These laws were intended to protect the business models of the franchise dealers from the rapidly-consolidating manufacturers. Dealers saw the consolidation happening, were scared that the automakers would strong-arm them, and lobbied their states to enact these protection laws.

"Written in blood". No.
>But nuclear isn't very good at quickly and continuously ramping up and down. It wants to run at mostly constant output[1]

Modern reactors can actually ramp up for down pretty quickly, as far a the grid is considered. That is to say, they can go from 50% to 100% in an hour or two.

However, you want to run them mostly constantly because once you build them, they are basically free power.

Besides, Constant power IS what you want for a "stable base load". You can start and stop solar and wind basically at the push of a button for very rapid response.

The point of Nuclear or fossil fuels with respect to the grid is reliability.
I have chronic fatigue issues that go in and out of remission, and the buildup of glutamate seems to by far be the biggest factor for me.

N-acetyl Cysteine and other blood glutamate scavengers (BGS) like malic acid and pyruvate are indispensable in these scenarios. They don't solve the issue but dampen it a bit.

Additionally, a ketogenic diet helped me a lot.

Most of all, high dose niacinamide holds it in remission at times, though I have a theory it's caused by a well-set-in, chronic infection as the reduction in symptoms with niacinamide correlates with the symptoms of fighting off an infection (very swollen lymph nodes, histamine release, sometimes nausea &etc, headaches, some other clear indicators, etc). I've been on it for about 7-8 weeks or so and we're still going!

That said, having energy is a gift that is hard to quantify. Chronic fatigue takes away your ability to think about anything, so you have to have discipline to not think about anything sometimes...which also takes mental energy. It's a bit of a living hell, for suresies.

Here's hoping I get to stay in remission. <3 :')))))
> Since they needed to function even when AWS is down

AWS as a whole has never been down.

It's Cloud 101 to architect your platform to operate across multiple availability zones (data centres). Not only to insulate against data centre specific issues e.g. fire, power. But also AWS backplane software update issues or cascading faults.

If you read what they did it's actually worse than AWS because their Kubernetes control plane isn't highly-available.
Flathub – The Linux App Store
There are many products I brought from Amazon which are cheaper or better in store when I looked or bought another from store. E.g. exercise ball, plastic step stool, stationery, office supplies etc.
In the long run, yes, but it takes some time to turn $$ into capacity (of just about anything), and they seem to be saying they're just short of capacity, whereas it seems more likely that they are short of money. But your point is correct.

It is intriguing that this means either OpenAI, or Microsoft (their biggest investor), or both, are short of money. Or the one is short of money, and the other is short of confidence that they should put more money into it?
i'm glad studies like these exist, and hope we'll see more and more like it in future. But as the article mentioned, the more interesting part is the follow-up. How do you improve your decision-making and reduce tiredness?

Yes - ASR on browser/device has reached the quality threshold pretty much with distil whisper/ whisper 3.

Quality TTS with fast latency is still not there but getting better (you can use Tortoise but its slow and compute expensive as far as I know). Bark is another option but has mixed results.

I played around with a recent transformers.js one (using SpeechT5) you can run in your browser and am optimistic where we can go with some improvements:

From the article, it seems that it's going to be the dealers who list the cars on Amazon.

This means all the hassles associated with going to dealerships, plus Amazon gets a cut and tells dealers how much to mark up cars for optimizing whatever they want to aim for.

How is this better for consumers exactly?
I use Visible and Mint via eSIM
I had a similar experience. Bad antilock manifold on a new model Nissan. Took three weeks for the part to appear. I suspect there was a design defect that Nissan had to figure out. Meanwhile I drove a dealer loaner for free. All warranty work, recall work and other repairs were handled correctly over a 12 year period.

Last year I bought a used truck sight unseen from a dealer on the other end of the continent. They handled all the shipping hassle competently, working with the shipper, bank, title stuff in both states and everything else. They were 100% forthright on everything about the vehicle, including live video inspection, proof of maintenance, etc. I got exactly what I expected.
Yes, I can see how that would give you a better feeling. But I don't have your expertise so for me it feels like I'm giving over control over my life to people who presumably know what they are doing. Which is fine as long as that picture gets reinforced but it breaks when you get evidence to the contrary.
Someone should also do a study to see if using 'smart' drugs over time lowers the criminal inhibitions of chronic abusers. SBF, Caroline Ellison and that whole gang, that Razzlekhan lady.

We walked out of a dealership about 10 minutes before we planned to sign on a car because the sales manager started trying to pull all of this slimy crap on us. We had a trade in that we were clear had problems, listing the exact problems. He assured us he wanted the car, but the moment it came to value it - suddenly it had all sorts of different problems. I do a lot of work on my cars, so I knew it was all scare tactics and BS.

By contrast, my Tesla experience was the exact opposite. Schedule a test drive, walk into the store, get the car for 30 minutes, then run the numbers. When I told them I wasn't prepared to buy, I felt absolutely no pressure. In fact, the only pressure I felt the entire time was a statement that the federal tax credit is likely going to end and deliveries are mid-December. Even then, it was clear they were telling me for _my benefit_ (to not miss savings) rather than trying to get me to sign immediately.

I absolutely want that buying experience.
ChatGPT got me a similar HTML based solution with this prompt (F11 for full scren):

Create a simple web page with a red blinking LED in the top-left corner. The LED should start blinking at 150 BPM and gradually slow down to 60 BPM. The initial size of the LED should be 40px, and it should completely disappear during the "off" phase. Additionally, include a red box shadow during the "on" phase of the blink. Please use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the implementation. Adjust the code as needed for clarity and readability.

It is not unlikely an AWS to GCP migration would have saved them significant money too, in the sense that they likely reviewed and right sizes different systems.

I also would love to see a comparison done by a financial planning analyst to ensure no cost centres are missed. On prem is cheaper but only by 30 to 50%. That is the premium you pay for flexibility, which you can partly mitigate by purchasing reserved instance for multiple years.

That depends. Most countries you refer to the department of state who in turn talks to law enforcement in the country where the hackers are from and that country takes care of the problem.

However most hackers seem to be from countries like Russia, or North Korea where law enforcement will tell the state department to go away. DoD probably is the only option we have (though intelligence/CIA should get involved) - is it worth war?

This is sort of how France's nuclear industry works. They made dozens of on-land plants, all based on the same design. The design is something like 50 years old now, but the result was extremely economically competitive and reliable, since the parts were interchangeable (so they could benefit from economies of scale), and workers and training were transferable between plants.

As I understand it, the US has never built the same design more than once (or maybe a few times), so each plant has to be engineered and manufactured from scratch, and all the training, logistics, maintenance schedules, etc, are one-off projects.

Yes, and sometimes people view it as a zero net drug, but it's not always a 1:1 relationship of borrowing from the future. It's significantly helped me, and there are some downsides, but the benefits have been far greater than the negatives (and having the extra motivation is...incredible since my brain does not really do that all that much naturally).
you could, it would be just a bit one sided.
Definitely don't keep all your data in one region only. For object storage, I prefer Backblaze unless you need high throughput.
No, I’m the type of person who thinks tech salaries are bloated in certain areas and certain companies and that does not follow the distribution of talent. It’s followed the distribution of VC money and profits of large companies. The evidence of such is that the median software engineer in the US is in the low-mid $100s (depending on what source I want to believe it’s $110k-$140k). But I also believe that same talent can be sourced outside the US is many cases and for far less expense.

I also view most apps/tech as not very novel. It’s largely the same engineering “problems” that are known and well documented. A lot of it can be done by average developers and “top tier” talent isn’t usually needed other than probably the cryptographic components in Signal’s case. Scale is certainly a concern, but that is a familiar problem that’s has a lot of documentation solutions and approaches.

I could be wrong. Maybe they’re already doing this and it just happens most of their expense is going to a couple high paid execs. Could be that I’m underestimating the complexity as well. But I find my statements to be true in many cases. I can even point to the number of times I’ve talked to consultants and top tier devs about building things for me. What they would charge $1m for I can often piece together for less than $50k by hiring a few folks in low COL areas and then just spending a little effort refactoring their code to be as pretty as I like it to be; sometimes I outsource that too but the point is having a whole company of top tier talent isn’t usually necessary, it’s a choice. Just like believing that top tier talent only exists in the high cost tech hub cities is a choice more so than the truth.
