Is there an original source for this idea that "The use case for AI is spam"?

I've seen it in a bunch of places recently, have people all independently came to the same idea at the same time or was there some big article somewhere that I missed?
I have Photos set to download all the files locally, and those get backed up with Time Machine and Backblaze.

Show HN: Trains.fyi – a live map of passenger trains in the US and Canada
Hey all! My train the other day was delayed and I got curious where they all were at any given time, so I built a map and figured I'd share it.
they don't, but they were planning to: https://www.wired.com/story/apple-photo-scanning-csam-commun...
Is it compressed? Also I presume the html must gross up the number.
If the product was any good, Apple would have already signed an exclusivity deal and NDA. If they didn't, another manufacturer would have.

The fact that hasn't happened, either means the product has a big downside (eg. stops working after 1 hour use as it blocks with dust), or because the manufacturer is offering silly terms.
Best of luck! I'm not close but you may contact me for anything. Info in my profile.

You could have executed the same strategy before, but coming up with several thousands coherent articles would have cost much more time and money.
Yes, there is very often a need to quickly search in source code (to figure out how something works, to discuss about it in places other than GitHub issues...).

Cloning is usually fast but not with very large repositories, and you might not even have enough space on your current device to clone them.

By the way if a lot of people will end up cloning everytime instead of logging-in (after all logging in to GitHub is a pain with the 2fa) I don't think their systems will have less load.

And not everyone might want to have a GitHub account
Hmm, you're right. I do actually have that data, I should give a better message on submission (like "this game was submitted but rejected"), but I count resubmissions as additional "votes" usually, so they still do something.
A 2015 MacBook is also approximately 10x less powerful at max capacity than a 2023 laptop, so it has to work much harder to achieve the same result.
I think we should stop framing this as ethics. TCS tried to get the best outcome for their client. CSC decided the client should suffer because they didn't win the re-compete. That's basically retaliation. Also a Texas Jury deciding that an Indian company should give 210M to an American company? If you take a step back, none of this is about ethics.

Now, with this kind of money and scrutiny you have to follow the letter of the law, whether it is productive or not. TCS should know better. But we can't pretend that this is about ethics.
No matter what your opinion is about Go (as a language), but they nailed it for bigger projects.

Go code always looks the same, performance is predictable and fast enough for most programs, and its really, really easy to be productive. When i picked up Go i basically got shit done without ever having written a single line of Go.

Its statically typed (with generics yey!) and compiles very fast. Its easy to create small binaries and cross compilation ”just works”.

Go projects usually dont have many dependencies, but IF you need something there always a package for it.

Go takes BC serioisly, 10 year old Go code compiles (usually) fine with the lastest version.

Overall its a really good ”get shit done” language, and a good fit for larger teams
The original Resident Evil games required consumable ink ribbons to save the game at a typewriter and also limited gun ammo availability to great effect. It does introduce anxiety, but that fits the game’s atmosphere perfectly. By the end of my playthroughs, I have usually used most of the items in my inventory due to their scarcity and limited nature.
Are you integrating with IPA for Kerberos NFS? Or just uid/gid mappings? Wonder why the perf would be so bad over nfs after either though
Would placing the air on top of an ice pack temporarily improve performance? For example when needing to render a video?

> But even if it was surely this isn't what you want to aspire to, right?

Yes, most guys don't want to be assholes which is why they talk about this. You might notice that when you are out dancing most guys on the floor aren't grinding their crotch against you. The people who are fine with being assholes aren't complaining, you wont find them in these discussions.

> I swear the guys that just start dancing on me would do far far better if they just asked first. It goes from "oh god ew how do I discretely get one of my girlfriends to get me out of here" to "eh ya know what, sure."

The guys who do that don't want to dance with you, they want to sleep with you. Asking for a dance will probably get them girls who wants to dance and not go further, you instantly rejecting them is what they want.

"But if they danced and did some more work then maybe..." But they don't want to go through that, that is the entire point they want to skip the work to build a connection and just do a one-night stand.
I think my wife finally tossed all my old thinkgeek shirts. I had a huge collection from my college years including "There are only 10 types of people in this world...", "man love" and "there's not place like 127.0.0.1".

Who has filled this void? I know xkcd had/has some geeky shirts and they shut down too.

> Laws discriminating on age should be repelled everywhere.

I'd disagree.

I think its a good thing that countries have minimum driving ages, minimum drinking ages, minimum age of consent for sex and minimum ages where people can vote and enter into contracts.
I got mine on sale for $100-120ish, I believe. No complaints. It's good gear, for me, and the price was quite reasonable, imo.

I was happy to see Impulse Drive in this article because that debt system is great. Built-in ramifications and story hooks for ignoring the debt, clearly tracked on a shared party sheet.
Why speed up the cheap model when we have a faster model for more money?!
A smoke ban for that age group would be pointless where I live because no one (“”) that young smoke. They use other tobacco products (ones without any second-hand effects).

If anything it might have a backfire effect.
> 1) PoW is the only way that is actually decentralized. If you want decentralized power over the currency - PoS will never work on a long time horizon

There are proof systems that are not truly Proof of Work and are also not Proof of Stake. But sure, you're not wrong that proof of stake is not truly decentralized. Anyway, suffice to say I was not talking about Proof of Stake.

But you do bring up some thoughts that I've had previously, with regards to the energy waste in comparison to exactly what. Thanks for reminding me of it.
I am not at all shocked that someone identifying themselves as a "tobacco control researcher" would take issue with their life's work being pushed back against. This might be my American-ness speaking but I find most kinds of bans like this to be quite distasteful, and the people pushing for them are often distasteful people as well (possibly a case of moral crusader zealotry).
Yes, but they stopped doing math puzzles when they started trading. Math puzzles aren't how they trade.
Worth noting that archived photos don't show up in most places, including the timeline. Not saying it's not buggy, but if you haven't already specifically checked the archived photos section, it's worth checking.

That ratio is pretty okay for a laptop... Sure, it's far worse than fans, but you are only paying for all of that 1.75 watts when at full CPU load for extended periods, which is rare.
Frore systems claims 21 dBA. That's about the level in a quiet area in nature without wind. Much less then even a whisper. Unless you are sitting in an extremely quiet room you won't hear it.

But it’s not arbitrarily discriminating based on age; it’s using age as a (reasonable) proxy for whether or not you might have an existing dependency on nicotine.

Would you consider laws saying ‘drivers who predate the requirement for a licence do not require one’ to be discriminatory?
> I highly recommend it (and a personal Google Workspace account)

I can't recommend against this enough, and I work at Google. Workspace accounts don't work with so many services. At least YouTube TV, Nest cameras, Google Home sharing, Google Play family accounts, Android parental controls, and Opinion Rewards are broken in my experience, probably a lot more.

It's a shame, especially for people who've had a Workspace account for many years, and have a bunch of email, documents, and media tied up in it.
Honestly this might be the way. As you correctly pointed out I'm concerned even a Google Photos/iPhoto shared album is too much friction for most people.

This makes no sense. The number of people who use GitHub code search but don’t already have a GitHub account is surely negligible

That may be true someday, but it's not yet! That's exactly what the IMO Grand Challenge is about, and nobody has gotten close to solving it.
I think the issue is there’s no reliable reputation system on the internet.

I remember when Facebook launched I thought it might serve as this (eg, “oh h2odragon has a year old account and seems not like a psycho, I’ll let them come to my art class”). But Facebook wasn’t interested and stopped providing apis and whatnot. I think it didn’t align with their business model as they kind of want scams as it drives lots of revenue (in that a significant portion of ads are misleading or scams that would be devastated if people could post reputation info like “this magic mouthguard doesn’t work and just a $10 drugstore version wrapped in $40 of social media ads”).
The History Guy recently posted "A Brief History of the T Shirt":

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds_xyrZCSo8

Generally: started out as undershirts, became work shirts (especially in the USN during WW2), and then folks just started wearing them on a daily basis post-war, mostly in 'misfit' / counter-culture groups in the 1950s (especially amongst teenagers), and the hippy culture embracing them in the 1960s.
If it was permanent, as this law was intended to be, then yes. I think that when someone born after 2008 hits their country's decided upon age of majority, they should be able to smoke, drink, or take part in any other of societies vices should they so choose.
One issue: To get a "good enough" self driving system, it needs millions of miles of testing on public roads.
#1 cause in the decline of Google maybe. https://search.marginalia.nu/ seems to manage though, so maybe Google just doesn't care.

But that would be a "flat" PDF that is essntially an image -- correct?

Not "text" that is searchable and selectable (like you would get if you do a clean print-to-PDF from a webpage)?
What would make that change non-trivial, to your mind?

Currently it can be achieved by a program as non-trivial as netcat

Also I don't share their concerns about SNI. To my mind, the Host header can just be unsupported for Unix sockets. SNI makes sense when the several domain names resolve to the same IP address. This should not be an important, case with Unix sockets. Not supporting it is a much better compromise than not supporting Unix sockets at all.
Eh, I think this is overstating the case for the typical user (Zoom or gaming rather than something like podcasting).

The sound quality is more than acceptable, even when placed relatively far away from the speaker, for Zoom meetings. It will be night and day compared to a laptop microphone or AirPods (although this is true even with cheaper USB headsets). Unlike the other recommended non-headset microphones, you don't need a special stand or to ensure you're very close to the microphone. In terms of aesthetics, you also don't have to have a large microphone in your face on camera. Sure, this is the norm on Twitch, but every time I've been on a Zoom call with someone with this setup it's always at least a little awkward.

I also find the speakers in a lot of USB headsets to be either not the best or uncomfortable. I use a separate output-only headset and a Yeti as my input and this works well enough for me.

I find the microphone to have one of the most convenient hardware mute buttons of similarly priced options. Of course, mics with more intelligent muting may reduce your need to mute so often, but I personally prefer to have 100% control over this and not rely on software. One of my biggest pet peeves about all teleconferencing software is they give you almost no feedback on your sound quality and what's coming through in the background. I'd rather control that than the software doing something wrong.

Big picture, though, is to use any form of external microphone and headset rather than laptops + speakers. Even a cheap $15 headset is going to be a much better experience for everyone else on the call. Better sound quality from you and less echo (yes, software tries to take care of this, but in practice I've found this highly unreliable on the other ends of Zoom, Teams, Discord, etc. calls).
On the face of it, I can definitely see the upside: "the cloud" is typically synonymized with safety ("your data is backed up on our secure servers", etc.), not to mention the fact that you can edit your data from any of your devices logged into Google. Heck, you don't even need to install Office anymore: you just go to https://docs.google.com and it's all there.

I do agree with you, though: one of the most important rules for computing in general is to keep multiple backups of everything. A while back, a friend of mine made a habit of emailing herself drafts of her work, and kept multiple copies on her computer. It did save her once or twice.
To be fair, this is probably more Google not caring rather than any improvement in SEO gaming. Kagi doesn't suffer from the SEO spam like Google does, and if a small company can do it surely Google could if they wanted to.
It does diff, and can be configured to use various diff methods (checksum, modified datetime). I use it with S3 and to diff with checksum it needs to do an expensive, slow metadata read - so I use `--use-server-modtime` which only copies files newer than the remote S3 file time. https://rclone.org/s3/
The ADC/DAC process fascinated me to no end as a kid. Spent hours drawing my own waveforms and playing them on an Atari ST. I wish the tools to do this kind of direct to hardware stuff were more accessible today.

Dis/enchanting is still a big gold source at high levels, so once you reach max level and especially if you're in a guild, you have access to lots more ways to make money. Which you either spend on raid supplies or to kit out lower-level toons.

And there are always the whales who just buy a shit ton of gold and put it in a guild bank.

Interaction terms ftw :-)

I would postulate that every analysis becomes more accurate if you consider the interactions ... but at the same time it makes interpreting (and presenting) the results more complicated.
Iirc, an issue with this and e.g putting it in the fridge is potential for condensation. Probably worth looking into before putting your machine on ice.

I still haven't heard the fans of my 14'' M2 MBP. And it's the thinnest laptop I've ever owned.
Don't forget the fact that it doesn't have this overbloated concept of inheritance and polymorphism of let's say Java where you have to look through 6 files to understand what's even going on. Even generics in Go were a heated debate because they make the language more complex. All in all Go was created by geniuses and it shows.
This was not adding a minimum age to smoking, it was enforcing a permanent ban on people born after 2008 from ever purchasing tobacco products.

Much less so these days with generics, even in their fairly limited capacity.
While the project is cool, it always makes me uneasy seeing these text generation AIs being used as a source of truth since they are just probabilistically stringing together words
And I guess avoid Windows.
With very rare exceptions (e.g. nuclear weapons), taxation is almost always a better mechanism than outright bans.

Even for pretty bad things (e.g. really toxic pollution), the taxes just need to be set obnoxiously high. By "obnoxiously high," I mean the trade-off might be cleaning up the Great Garbage Patch or removing a billion tons of CO2; something which clearly helps more than the harm done.

For mild things (e.g. device shitification or not having service manuals), even very modest taxes can help (e.g. a few pennies per device), without throttling innovation. In a commodity market of Chinese off-brands, a few pennies is enough to make-or-break a vendor.
Probably the first 2 usecases that came to my mind, after I saw what AI was capable of, were "spam at scale" and "writing papers to get published". Though, the latter is also kind of spam.

You say a few choice bad words and laugh at it.

On the other hand once it starts to nag you to upgrade to Music Unlimited or will only play "similar songs", that's when you unplug it and throw it out the window.
The point isn’t to stop that particular age group from smoking; it’s to eliminate cigarettes in the long term (eg 70 years).
Not really, thermal conductivity between CPU and outer layer is not best. M1 is OKish, M2 are really bad.
I am referring to upgradability, not repairability.
> This was not adding a minimum age to smoking, it was enforcing a permanent ban on people born after 2008 from ever purchasing tobacco products.

sure, fully agree with you but that has nothing to do with the comment I was replying to.
Yet AI "models" ar terrible at calculation.
"Scary cloud things" like this are why I moved off of Dropbox and Onedrive years ago and got to a new normal of "syncthing all my main devices together" for file sync, then have Backblaze backup my machine that holds the linux ISOs etc. that I'm not necessarily wanting to have redundant storage space used for them at that time.

Now, the failures are my own fault, but at least I can do offline backups to HDDs and BD-Rs, and I don't have to worry about any of the cloud services (TM) messing with my data and me having little recourse.

Yes, I could do separate backups of the cloud things too, but at that point, that just adds 'cloud service' as an option to the first part of the equation:

cloud device storage / local device sync (on and off-site) / NAS

+ offline on-site backups as HDDs & BD-Rs

+ online off-site backups

Doing syncthing with local device sync is cheaper than cloud device storage (recurring costs) and NAS (fixed costs / hardware maintenance)

I think it is your American-ness speaking, but as a Brit I’m inclined to agree. I suppose the best arguments for having such bans would relate to the secondhand effects of smoke, etc. Another would be the burden it causes to the national health service (therefore affecting non-smokers too), but the amount of tax being paid probably offsets that anyway.
With all the information available and research about nutrition really impacts our lives... I find myself wondering if there really is a benefit for a layman like myself to keeping up, or if the overall best advice still sits at: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

Yeah, Eleven is very expensive (not for a hobby project like this -- but at scale). I think we'll see a lot of commoditization of TTS services in the next 6-12 months - but Eleven seems to be in the lead for now.
