Nick Cave certainly has his heart in the right place, but he is panicking a bit with that letter.

It's certainly possible that creatives in literature, music and image-making can augment their output somewhat with AI and perhaps even more with AGI. This is going to be a problem for them as much as it is for tech workers. In the not-so-long-term it means fewer people will be able to produce "enough" output to drastically reduce the required headcount in places like script writer's boiler rooms, music and graphics production for advertising and in-house corporate productions.

But there's definitely "a feel" to heavy-handed use of AI generated stuff. It's palpable. Much like that "uncanny valley" in robotics. I expect it will remain detectable by people who care far into the foreseeable future. I also expect there's going to to be an expanding long-tail market for authentic works that don't have that "whiff" of AI in them.

Here's what Chat-GPT says:

Nick Cave's concerns reflect a broader debate about the role of AI in creative industries. While AI can augment creative processes, there's a valid point regarding the unique qualities of human-made art. The “feel” or essence that distinguishes human creativity is often nuanced and deeply tied to the human experience. As AI technology advances, the challenge for creatives may not be to compete with AI, but to emphasize these human elements that machines cannot replicate. The market for authentic, human-created art may indeed flourish, as there will likely always be a demand for works that resonate with the human "touch." This dichotomy could create a new appreciation for human artistry, alongside the use of AI as a tool for expanding creative possibilities.
In a way, yes.

I have checked Hacker News daily since I was 12, which is over 14 years ago now (excluding camping with no internet).

It gave me and some of my best friends growing up some great conversations topics. I’m also sure Hacker News has started many hobbies of mine and provided tons of education/entertainment over the years. By far, I think the best benefit of HN for me socially has been making me a more interesting person due to the topics I’ve learned about here.

I went from a homeschooled kid on a farm to->university->junior->mid-level SE->aspiring entrepreneur at age 26 while checking this site daily.

Great site, great community, and I pray it continues in the same way it has for decades to come.

That is a social problem, not a technical one.

Even hosts that correctly implement $CURRENT_YEAR's email security dance end up on spam lists erroneously. The problem is allowing these hosts to have that much influence to begin with. The creation and spreading of those lists is pernicious to the protocol, but in absence of new RFCs and matching client behavior, I see the need to add some light 'hazing' to setting up e-mail.

The problem is when Google tells everyone your site is spam and they listen. Tech can't solve that problem.
Seems like the issue pretty much covers this.
I’d love to get some recommendations as well

For accessing files, the kernel does keep an open FD of sorts (better than "dev, inode" pair).

But you can't punt this entirely to the shell - the shell has to look at the kernel's idea of the current directory name at startup; all the in-shell tracking can only be done for subsequent changes.

One major caveat is that the kernel's API stupidly relies on a single-step global record and is limited to one page (usually 4096 bytes), rather than reconstructing it component-by-component. So if you change into a deeply nested folder, `getcwd` falls back to the `open(".."); readdir` loops. Of course if `PWD` is set correctly it can be used, but if it's not canonical you might have to do the nasty version later.

A more subtle caveat is all the possible end cases:

* you reach the current mount namespace's sense of `/`

* you reach the current mount namespace's sense of `//`, if your environment supports such a thing (note that `readdir` likely fails at the last level though!).

* you reach some other sense of `/` (e.g. from an FD kept open across `chdir`, or an FD passed across a Unix socket from a different mount namespace)

* the directory was not found in the readdir loop (a directory moved due to a race condition, or special filesystems that aren't fully enumerable - this includes /proc/ if you use a thread ID directly - this has a different inode than the main PID which it mostly acts like!).
I was under the impression that LVT was not without concerns, but when I looked it up again to find such issues I didn't seen anything that was all that worrying.

So yes, this would be a perfect application of a LVT.
There is a distinct joy in showing someone rg who has never seen it before and then seeing them immediately adopt it as a daily tool.

Recently a colleague had a bug. He told me it was related to the "X" that was weirdly behaving like a "Y".

I fd'd "X" and then rg'd the resulting files for "Y" and found a place where some copy/pasted code was treating "X" as a "Y". Big monorepo codebase, absolutely just tore through it and solved the entire bug.
The outcome as far as I can see was that every subreddit posts impotent "protest" messages at the top of every thread with AutoModerator, like a new kind of cookie banner you have to ignore. It's pretty lame.

They watch Hikaru because he is fun while he plays and wins.

Offline, he is #4 is slow chess and #1 in Blitz.

He's not facing strong challenges on Titled Tuesday, and (like all top players) he is so good that there simply aren't enough players and data to make the empirical Elo scale work for assessing his win probabilities.
> Someone once commented that men make extraordinary efforts to impress women,

While that is undoubtedly true, I suspect no one becomes a professional chess player for the ladies.

They do it because they like, they're good at it, and they (if good enough) can make a living with it.
That's great! I never check those since my skills/talents are not really keen for these types of jobs. Like someone else said, human emotion and feelings are an enormous barrier. Unfortunately I give off the wrong vibe when people place their eyes on me. So I never even try to apply for a computer job. Even tho I have been regarded a wizard by non-hackers smh. Maybe one of these submissions of mine may peek interest. I'm currently participating in Hoon Academy by Urbit Education on YT. I feel like a young person again lol.
Soon, your entire org will be turing tested weekly over text, audio, and video, and one mistake will result in access to your network.
Good point - I definitely need to record them and see if the patterns are really there (it's possible I'm naively noticing only when it fits!)
I started my journey in machine learning fifteen years ago. Ironically, at that time, my professor told me that neural networks were outdated and trying them wouldn't result in publishable research. SVMs were popular and emphasized in my coursework. I concur that SVMs don't hold as much practical significance today. But the progress in AI and ML is generally unpredictable, and no one knows what theory leads to the next leap in the field.
That drop in quantity in hobby subs tracks pretty well with the theory that was getting tossed around a few months ago that the most frequent posters and power users disproportionally used third party apps while users of the official app had more of a tendency to be only very casual posters or just lurkers.

Local subs growing despite power users vacating kind of lines up with this too — casual users seem more likely to treat Reddit like one of the bigger platforms like Facebook, seeking out subreddits that are more broadly appealing or based around locality rather than interest-based subreddits.
Thanks a lot - this is helpful!

I have made IRL friends from other online communities, though. For me, HN is too broad and anonymous and there is little 1:1 interaction compared to, say, forums. Most of the time I don't even notice the usernames.

I have already said this multiple times in different threads, but I think the protestors took entirely the wrong approach here.

The only thing that genuinely scares companies whose primary business model is ads is content that is not considered "brand safe". Posting such content, particularly on subreddits where it doesn't belong, would have been a far more effective strategy IMO. Filling the frontpage with porn, slurs, racist memes, made up slanderous stories about the most common Reddit advertisers and other such junk would have forced Reddit's hand.
How many of those cities and states became acronyms?
Are you innovating? Are you top of mind for people? Is your tech transforming people's lives?

lmao lmao: You sparked some cool memories! Thanks!
The electric grid is already extremely fragile. Its uptime is dependent on constant maintenance and repairs and many people on 24/7 standby to make more repairs in outages.

Its resilience is in the support network, not in the physical structures itself.

That support network building custom hardware in a GPS outage is that system functioning as expected. A GPS outage without a bunch of concerned humans doing everything they can to fix it isn’t going to happen.
Not the parent, but ClickSpring is one of my favorites, though they don’t post much anymore. Also, ThisOldTony. BenEater, TechnologyConnections, Jeff Geerling, GreatScott!, Wintergatan, bigclivedotcom, JK Brickworks, The 8-Bit Guy, and Usagi Electric are more on the tech side of my subscriptions.

It would be great if there was an easier way to share subscriptions.
Maybe meetup.com?
Yes this is called a Dockerfile. Better yet, its not just a list, its working code so you don't have to run through the list manually.
The study does not specifically consider those with no other physical activity, and the part I quoted above in the article literally suggests ignoring steps taken in favor of flights climbed.

From the study, near the top:

> Participants who stopped stair climbing between baseline and resurvey had a higher risk of ASCVD compared with those who never climbed stairs.

Additionally, your comment’s assumptions about my lifestyle are inaccurate, but that’s irrelevant to discussing the article and study.

What you're calling out isn't wrong but what am I supposed to do, subscribe $20/mo of my money to some fringe artist I like on Patreon? What if I like 10 artists? I'm out $200/mo. It's just not realistic. Make music and work a job? I don't know.

If I simply plug and unplug my laptop from the dock, my windows wind up randomly scattered between both laptop and monitor. Is that considered "works"?

Lots of people have lots of complaints. I, myself, have more than a few.

I'll go further. The fundamental problem is that Wayland CAN NOT be fixed. The underlying design architecture is simply not correct for modern hardware and its abstractions.

The problem is that a GUI is such an enormous pile of work that nobody can arise to compete with QT and GTK. Both of those toolkits are 20+ years old and desperately need to be redone from the ground up.

And, it's worse than that globally. Mobile/Web GUI and Desktop GUI have fundamentally different abstractions. Yet, because a GUI is such a huge pile of code, nobody wants to have separate GUIs for Desktop and Mobile/Web.

This is why something like Electron exists. No one wants any of the dumbass GUI toolkits--not Windows, not macOS and certainly not Gtk or Qt.

And, yes, I pile Mobile and Web together. Most people now interact with Web via their phone. This is painful to me, but it is simply reality.

`$()` creates a subshell (a whole separate process) so is significantly slower than mere string manipulation.

`$PWD` is always set accurately at startup (for both interactive and non-interactive shells) in bash, dash, zsh, ksh93, mksh, and busybox ash.

So I'm really not sure where this assumption can be violated.
Hey Nicole, shoe horning my PC Engine project onto your last hacker news thread was actually successful at getting the attention I needed! And now I’m sitting on PCE joystick pcbs nobody wants. :)
A lot of people don't want to be songwriters, they want to be songsingers.

There are a lot of talented people through out history who just wanted to perform, and they often performed songs that were written by other people.

The reverse is also true. A lot of people don't want to be singers, they just want to be songwriters.
Well, considering it comes with a normal wall adapter, anyone with a home is rich enough I guess. But the key is when traveling it’s useful, and if you have a condo or apartment, you won’t have home charging. Some, like me, got a promotion for lifetime super charging - so I never charge at home, which saves me thousands of dollars a year.

I would also note you can get used teslas, even higher end ones like model s, for $20k or less, which isn’t unaffordable. Because the batteries can last decades and the mechanics are so simple they effectively last forever it’s a pretty good care 10 or 15 years later.
> The weights aren’t binary.

The weights are typically distributed as a binary blob containing IEEE floating point values, or fixed point values; and these numbers are typically not meant for direct human consumption.

> The same code used to train the model / generate the weights will not produce the same model weights if run again, it is not deterministic.

This is not true, except in contrived situations like when you use PRNGs and you deliberately throw away their seeds.

> Also you will need millions of dollars to retrain

This is besides the point.
Even better: change the bounds of whats possible ;)
Wouldn't open source mean you can recreate the model from scratch by knowing the training data?

There is a weird definition of open source that creeps in here.

Llama2 is effectively, proprietary compiled software. GPT-4 is proprietary compiled and hosted as SaaS.

We have yet to see a true open source LLM...

AI/ML is reinventing so many terms it's a bit annoying.
Thanks for the extra context. I don't have a dog in this particular race, but I think, as a developer, I'd look at that list of excuses and just say "Why bother, I'll just target X and get on with my life."

I also don't care about malicious applications. I don't need to be protected from myself and didn't ask anyone to try.
AFAICT from looking at the imgui wiki page and the examples in the OP of the wayland-protocols MR, it seems to be entirely that either these libraries have existing API that allowed setting the window coordinates and thus they want to be able to continue providing them, or these applications (like gimp) want to be able to recreate those windows at their previous positions after the application is closed and restarted.

It's also worth noting that that imgui wiki link says the feature doesn't work well in X11 either, though I didn't read the linked issue for what exactly is broken there.

Tell that to the people who like replicating their Workspaces at home using a remote connection that works everywhere on every OS....unless you are using Wayland.
Well, I wasn't trying to mock them or disagree, although I can see how it might have sounded that way.

What I am trying to do is point out that you can't just say "everything" without defining what that means and knowing why. Maybe you need less or maybe you need more. IMHO, you should do it by looking for places that might be stable and then (consciously) choosing one that meets your needs.

I've actually been in a situation where our source, all the libraries in our build, and the toolchain were not enough. It turned out that one of the libraries we used was itself dependent on another library, a certain dynamic library (which I'll call libfoo.so) included in the Linux install. We got new hardware, but it would not boot the same version of that Linux distro, probably due to lack of drivers. It would boot a newer version of the same Linux distro, but that included libfoo-v2.so, not libfoo.so. Since libfoo-v2.so was a different major version with breaking API changes, our project wouldn't compile.
They are streaming.
I think you're misunderstanding their point and mixing it up with other commenters. They are saying everything is available, but there are license restrictions on how you can use it. They're not asking for more code or data.

It's source available, but it's not "open source" in the historical usage by programmers. Microsoft could not take their model weights and use it. It's not open source.
I think the model weights are the preferred form in which a programmer would modify the program. We modify models by fine-tuning them, which requires the weights, but not the training data/recipe.
It has better toilets, infrastructure, newer trains, much bigger (thus stations are almost always nearby), and integrated as a system as opposed to multiple metros in Tokyo, and so on.
The page provides a "canonical" link in its markup, and HN takes that and replaces what you submitted. I believe you can change it back, for a certain amount of time?
Yes, but the Canon 5D has been used for (some) professional movies.

Yeah, I find the creep of web app security mentality into the desktop to be a disaster. I want to be able to easily snoop on and control my GUI and I absolutely don’t want some display system to decide it knows better than me about this sort of thing.
While this is absurdly conspiratorial, there is a grain of truth to it: early on in Reddit's history, the admins created fake accounts and posted on them to boost engagement[0]. More recently, after the blackout and user exodus, /r/de noticed a bunch of new German-language copies of popular English-language subs being created with a bunch of autotranslated comments[1]. So Reddit's administration is not above creating fake accounts and content to juice numbers.

How much of Reddit's engagement is faked is up for debate - I suspect it's less than we think. However, it'd be really funny if, say, when Reddit IPOs, someone at /r/WSB catches onto this and triggers a bunch of people shorting the stock.

Of course there are. That's one of the three states of infants (asleep, hungry, soiled). It's one of the major causes of upset and bad behavior in toddlers. It's obviously the case for children who don't get enough to eat due to deprivation.
